WA state says you cannot issue a warrant without reference to a specific crime: https://app.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=10.79.035

So regardless, by demanding a warrant you would be insisting that the IT Department declare a crime had been committed in the first place. Even if you wanted to defend the legality of you holding onto ill-gotten data, why would you want to get the prosecutor involved at all? Getting a warrant on your property is the worst possible outcome here.

I agree you shouldn't do anything without a lawyer closing looking over the stipulation. But demanding a warrant is probably the dumbest available option. Especially when they already know you have the thing they are looking for!

There's a massive difference between going from free to say a few hundred dollars a month to $42k a month. It's not even whether the org can afford $42k, it's the process. Say 300 USD a month is something a low level boss can easily fit in an existing budget. But $42K a month is something you need to change the budget for. You need to go up very high the chain for that and prove it is worth it. Hint: it is not for most. And even if it does, more than a few orgs will not do it abruptly unless it threatens their core business. Say, you are an airline and a war breaks out so now you need to fly less fuel efficient routes, of course you will find the money for more fuel. But for this, with less than a month notice?

True, but I bet either a Cruise or a Waymo would have stopped rather than hit that woman crossing the street, and they definitely would not have fled the scene like the human driver did.
I only drive to the city about once a week and I typically see 0.5 AVs per trip.

On the most recent drive, I was in the right lane on the freeway and an AV was merging from the on ramp. It was driving extremely slowly and did not react to me (IIUC I have "right of way" and it should either speed up or slow down) so I basically had to change lanes to avoid it merging into me.
Of course. The UK RIPA (regulation of investigatory powers) Act was widely advertised as a measure to combat terrorism, it very quickly became regularised and is used by local councils to investigate cases of people illegally feeding pigeons.

I’ve never understood the specific privacy concern I should have about my genetic code. The things I consider private in my life never surface in my biology, they surface in my behaviors, experiences, thoughts, associations, and other aspects of my lived life. While I don’t want insurance company to adjudicate coverage and claims from it, I don’t know what hackers or customers of illegally obtained health ordnance dna data are reasonably going to do with it that impacts me in the least. I’d love to be convinced otherwise, but at some level I almost am at the level of anonymized genetic codes should be generally available with health histories for researchers and not locked away behind privacy screens more rigorous than everything I actually wish could be kept private.
I would be surprised if it turns out that those self-driving cars don't have object permanence. Making things move around without a physical model looks like a really nasty infinite bug-breeder.

They have this, by their own admission and from my personal experiences in the car. A detail you might be mistaken on - they’re not really fully driving the car remotely. They’re basically sitting in a call center answering questions for the car or plotting a course, or giving it the all clear to proceed if things are uncertain. And generally this only happens if the situation is one where the car can ‘safely’ stop and wait for a response. In situations like the one discussed here, the car doesn’t have time to wait for a response from a human operator, so it just does what it thinks is best locally.

It's very common for truck owners to not tow or haul 95% of the time. But when they do need to, the truck damn well better work.

I asked a couple contractors what they thought about the Lightning, to them it's an expensive toy but nothing that will replace the ability to haul equipment to the next state over and back in the same day, all with 1 gas fillup or less. Time is money for them, and they have no time to sit around waiting for stuff to charge.

EV trucks are immensely heavy, cost 30 to 50 percent more, and have terrible range. Not to mention you have to charge them. You can't make the range better like you can on a EV car by making it more aerodynamic, because towing completely negates that.

Maybe one day we'll get better battery tech or some other dense energy storage.
Jargon isn't a problem, the problem is using jargon in places where you should be able to predict your audience isn't going to understand it.

A11y and WCAG around frontend web developers is usually fine but risky elsewhere, the same way "MVP" is fine in general HackerNews posts but not elsewhere.

Even "accessibility" is jargon and a lot of people outside of tech won't know what it means or what a screen reader is.

I don't think a11y and i18n are an attempt to be clever, they're just really long words to type correctly and take up space so they get shortened, like in Git commits and pull request discussions.
> ...San Francisco and also drives a LOT (10-20k miles per year...

I spent a year in the bay area, working in the city for about half of it. It completely destroyed any joy I got from driving. I've been back in Ohio for 10+ years now, and I still hate driving.

It was that bad then, and I hear it's only gotten worse.
I don't think it's even VC brained, the average us NIMBY doesn't actually want anything to change with regards to zoning or public transit. They don't care that the closest place to buy anything is a 54 minute walk with 0 sidewalks, because it only takes 8 minutes to get there in their Tahoe.
Among Haugen’s allegations was a claim that the company was knowingly preying on vulnerable young people to boost profits.

"Knowingly preying on vulnerable young people to boost profits" is different from blindly optimizing for engagement without understanding what works.
Cruise started as a fake-it-til-you-make-it operation. See if you can find their first demo video. That mindset apparently continues.

Waymo has been very cautious. This turned out to be much harder than expected. Waymo's stats get better each year, and it looks like this is going to work.
You chuckle, but knowing when it's safe to turn autocorrect back on will be the most important news that this hacker gets from this website this year.
I'm pretty sure Cruise's statement worded this intentionally vaguely, and it's natural to assume they are trying to gloss over their responsibility in the most horrific part of the story.
Apple generally doesn’t sanction component level repairs so unlikely. My guess is they would be willing to provide assemblies, eg LCDs, batteries, logic boards, etc. and instructions to replace with access to services to enable parts after install. The broken parts get sent to apple for recycling for a refund. eg the replacement battery costs $60 from apple and you get $20 back when you send them the dead battery. At least that’s how it works under the current self service program they have.

Repair shops that have the ability to find the short in your iPhone logic board, rebuild traces and replace a destroyed lightning connector, reball a chip, etc will still have to operate without apples/samsungs/etc explicit consent as always. But if you want a chance of saving your data you’ll need one of these shops. But also maybe back up your data before your phone/laptop/pc/console gets wrecked tbf

The WCAG website generates a lot of grumbling within the accessibility community. It isn't well laid-out and the blocks of text are not particularly reader-friendly. It would be great if they built in readability enhancements to make it more accessible to people with dyslexia, ADHD, or vision impairments.

It would also then be able to serve as an example for how to implement such augmentations on text-heavy websites.
Further, you kind of assume human drivers are going to do these dangerous things, so you can anticipate them. It's more important to be predictable than to be conservative/safe.

Stopping dead on a road with nobody in front of you because your AI detected a hazard might be objectively safe and conservative driving, but it is unpredictable and a driverless car that behaves this way is going to cause problems.
> We shot ourselves in the foot because mass transportation in America has failed to impress us as much as a Jaguar XK or Jeep KJ, or whatever your Soul Car is.

As much as I'd like to agree with this, the fundamental problem is that most people in the US do not work at a single point in the city anymore.

That's the real problem. You don't get to connect existing enclaves. You have to build your mass transit, fund it at a loss for decades, make sure it doesn't get overrun with crime, and maybe after 10-20 years there will be enough housing and office space along the line in order to make it viable. Maybe.

Or you can throw down a couple more roads and let people figure out where to live, themselves.
And it never got that ecosystem because of inscrutable mismanagement so scatterbrained and perplexing that I can't wait for the insider-tells-all book about this post-iPhone period at Microsoft that I assume will arrive in a decade or two.

The ability of relatives, friends, and acquaintances to completely invalidate my own actions is the entire reason this advice falls flat. Unless the advice is to simply never interact with those people to the point of my friends and family not even having my phone number.

Using a car without a license is in fact banned, because this minimizes harm to kids (and non-kids).
Assaulted and robbed are the least of my worries. Its a small chance but its there. What I hate about public transit is the public part.

I've witnessed tons of anti-social behavior over the years taking the DC metro and honestly, have never been comfortable ever since I was a child and got stuck between two drunk men arguing after a baseball game. I was feeling claustrophobic and could even feel the spit hit my face. The car was packed and no room to really get away from it. I think its gotten better but I wouldn't know as I haven't used it in years.
I've had the displeasure of working with their "new" APIs - the documentation is all over the place, their playground and examples are non-functional, the dashboard looks and works like someone started it as a "your first react project" and didn't bother finishing, and the prices are astronomical.

Exactly what you would expect from an underfunded and understaffed team at a social media site that doesn't want to be a social media site anymore, I would be surprised if anyone was actually working on this beyond what they need internally. The developer sign-up has been broken for weeks by the way, it will show you a 500 error in the console without any feedback and you have to spam it to let you in, like most other things in their console.

Ethically wrong? Sure, I can go there.

The most violent form of communication? In light of what Hamas just did, that seems like an absurd statement.
NP, all suggestions welcome, thank you anyway!
FWIW -- You're not wrong that you could probably get a diagnosis if you wanted to, but everything you describe about your experience is relatable to almost everyone. That's exactly how farm workers spend 8 hours picking strawberries, how carpenters spend 8 hours hammering joists, and what everybody is doing when they miss that turn.

In a lot of mental health diagnoses, its the persistent inability to "cope" that warrants treatment rather than the little laundry list of symptoms (which are often very common and relatable). Lots of people don't learn that and needlessly feel alien or pathological when actually experiencing a very everyday and relatable sort of life.
Hi! Appreciate the comment and understand the skepticism here.

Well business/startups are tough are in general & more die than survive so you're probably right on those stats.

Would love to know more about your experience specifically though? Which products did you try? What was the use-case you had that made you add your own integration?

I'd love to chat more on this if you'd be up for it. :)
I am sorry, US bills (this 10k bill included) are the opposite of cool. Dutch pre-euro bills (Antilles included) are where it's at.
They aren’t littered through CA, in CA they are exclusively in SF. In SF they are common and as they seem to drive nonstop, take more road time than a comparable number of normal cars.

They don’t stop and wait between fares, they seem to drive aimlessly in routes like ghosts or lost souls.

Traffic fatalities would fall nearly to 0 if we made all speed limits 25mph. Obviously, as it has been for decades, child safety is the cloak that tyranny is dressed in. Not to mention CP is a common thing to pin on inconvenient people in society. The EU has been doing a lot of rent seeking off Google & big tech. They hit them with fines all the time. If I actually believed they gave a fuck about people or privacy it wouldn't be as offensive to me, but they don't. They want big tech doing what they want, they want "protection money" or at least a slice of the pie, and they want more government control of citizenry. I always admired Europe as an American, but its clearly in the same (or worse) state of decay as the US.

Congratulations, and here I was happy with my 95% :)
OP is not arguing against cars completely, they just have very limited use within high density city centers. Most people can travel by foot, bike, scooter, bus, train, trolley, etc... to get their daily errands done.

When you need to go further or out of the city, by all means, jump in your environment-destroying metal cage but you don't need it daily, I guarantee it. Please don't cite extreme exceptions like disabled people or families with 10 kids.
I wonder how the "minimal risk regulation" is worded right now.
The role of parental responsibility is a valid but separate matter.

Kids can sign up to social media from a friend's phone/ computer/ tablet, from a library computer etc., and self-certify their claimed age. They can get phones (without cellphone contract) from other people without their parents' knowledge.
> Just within a business or bar or family, dissenting opinions are everywhere. Unlike a business, every little opinion and workgroup and project are a matter of public record and are aimed at affecting public policy. So yeah, it sure seems like "They" are a bunch of hypocrites.

This is simply not true. See e.g. here, how the commission does not publish dissenting internal comments in the official meeting minutes: https://www.ftm.eu/articles/controversy-between-european-com...
I see where you are coming from, but equating mental illness with violent is problematic. The mentally ill are more likely to be victims than perpetrators. They may be over-represented in the judicial system, as a consequence of post-Reagan shift to using jails and prisons to deal with people that formerly would have been under the care of mental health professionals.

The following was written in the context of mass shootings, but I believe it applies to this incident and other "trying to kill everyone" incidents.

"Four assumptions frequently arise in the aftermath of mass shootings in the United States: (1) that mental illness causes gun violence, (2) that psychiatric diagnosis can predict gun crime, (3) that shootings represent the deranged acts of mentally ill loners, and (4) that gun control "won't prevent" another Newtown (Connecticut school mass shooting). Each of these statements is certainly true in particular instances. Yet, as we show, notions of mental illness that emerge in relation to mass shootings frequently reflect larger cultural stereotypes and anxieties about matters such as race/ethnicity, social class, and politics. These issues become obscured when mass shootings come to stand in for all gun crime, and when "mentally ill" ceases to be a medical designation and becomes a sign of violent threat." <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25496006/>
I thought this was about Ally, the bank. Like their service is not available or something.
Another important aspect is what kind of business are you looking to build?

Big ideas may be 'disruptive' but can require a lot of VC investment to scale enough to be self supporting. Other ideas may be great businesses but not really suitable for VC. Some companies may be more sales oriented, others may be able to lean more on the product selling itself. It also depends on your motivation, is it to 'change the world' or just do something you find interesting with like minded people that can pay the bills and maybe eventually provide financial independence. You may not need to even start a company, with so many boomers retiring you might be able to take over an already established and profitable company.
Asked a close friend of mine who is a female seamstress. Their opinion on the matter:

1. The popular brands are run by men who do not understand and/or agree with the issue.

2. The large manufacturers as they have favorable supply deals, and threaten suppliers to not sell to competitors at the risk of losing their business, resulting in lack of affordable materials to build competing businesses.

The former being the reason for the current bias in options, and the latter explaining why there is no fair market for alternative options.
Oh they understood how it works, and they definitely accepted that their efforts to boost engagement caused mental health issues, especially among teenage girls. But toxicity was not a goal in itself.
Stop posturing. You know perfectly well that screens present true as well as false information and media literacy is a matter of distinguishing between the two rather than making categorical assumptions.

Frankly you come off a lot more like Diogenes than Plato.
>How about we invest in making our cities more pedestrian, bike, and public transportation friendly?

There are tons of companies that would love to help (get paid to) build out public transit infrastructure in cities. You think any major city would have trouble attracting bids to build tram systems, subways, or even buy more busses?

Look at your local leaders, how many of them are pro-public transit? How many of them have a long history of blocking projects because they want to "preserve neighborhood character" or some other lame excuse?
