But the same could be said of any white collar job with a modicum of complexity, no?

I’m not denying what you are saying. I’m just not convinced it’s different from other professions.

I’ve had the opportunity to work with both mechanical and electrical engineers. They deal with the same office politics and other BS we deal with.
the point is that this truck will never see sale in the USA- It would be illegal to sell and not meet standards.

Regulations are different by country, so you see different cars at different price points. It is also illegal to import this car (again regulation), so that impacts price as well
Of all of the terrible UI trends that have come into vogue over the past few years, this has to be be absolute worst.
I believe that the EU Council (elected heads of state) gets to appoint the EU Commission President, with an approval required from the Parliament. The remaining 26 Commissioners are selected by the Council of Ministers (appointed ministers for each EU member state, and hence an additional layer of indirection away from the actual electorate.) Then Parliament has some substantially more limited ability to review these appointments, but I don't think they get an outright veto.

I see ratgdo mentioned a lot in home-assistant-related places. I’m not sure about the other.

Do you really want to be promoted?

I certainly don't, I'm fine where I'm at (software architect).
I would advise reading the study as it provides much more information, including stratigraphic profiles of 4 different layers, maps/images of the trenches, borehole data, and various remote sensing surveys.

Unit 1 (surface): 2,000-1000BC
Unit 2 : 6,000-5000 BC
Unit 3: 24,000-14,000BC
Unit 4: NO data

Unit 2 is clearly artificial and represents a construction layer. It has pieces of cut columnar basalt aligned parallel to the ground -- which does not occur naturally, so it is undisputedly artificial.

The soil filled on top of Unit 2 contains homogenous radiocarbon dates and no weathering indicating it was placed all at the same time.

They unit 3 layer contains weathered rounded boulders stacked on top of each other -- this type of weathering normally occurs in a stream an their presence on top of a hill does seem to indicate they were placed there. They also seem to be placed into structures forming a wall. While it is less obviously artificial than unit 2 -- they still provide some compelling evidence that it is indeed artificial.

They claim unit 4 is a natural andesite lava flow that has been "sculpted", but I don't see any evidence to back up that particular claim in the paper, unless i missed it.

TLDR: they did exactly what you mentioned -- took samples from above / below / inside various construction layers, and the dates match the stratigraphic context.... It wasn't just 'scooped up in the vicinity of the pyramid.

I agree given the nature of their claims, it would be ideal if they included another dating method like OSL to go along with the radiocarbon dates, but the radiocarbon dates themselves are not as half-hazard as you make them out to be.

> You got really lucky on your maintenance then.

I keep hearing this. I've apparently been lucky for 20 years and with 4 cars. I'm a really lucky guy.

Or, perhaps, I research which cars are reliable, and get a good mechanic to check them out before I buy them.

> Unless you're doing the oil changes yourself, those alone should have run you at least $1,000

In that time period, an oil change was $20-30. Yes, it costs a lot more for some cars (e.g. $80 for one of my other cars). Also, if you did it every 3 months or 3000 miles you've bought into the propaganda. Do it on the schedule specified in your car's manual. For all my cars, that's every 6 months, and 5000 or 6000 miles. For heavy usage (10,000 miles for non-heavy, but almost everyone falls into the "heavy" category).

Oh, and I'm not a big car guy. I know almost nothing about doing maintenance myself (other than adding wiper fluid). I do whatever the mechanic recommends. Find a good mechanic, and stay away from official dealerships.

> And it sounds like you never had to do brakes

On the car I quoted, I did. In 2014. Cost me under $420.

> Most 2003 cars can't get away with such low maintenance costs.

That car got totaled in 2018. So I replaced it with another 2003 car of similar miles as the one that was totaled. In the last 5 years I've spent $3000 on maintenance/repairs. That's more than the 8 years prior, but some of it is just due to inflation and labor costs. Oil change costs, for example, almost doubled.

Gas costs should be higher per year because gas is more expensive and the car I replaced it with is a lot less efficient. But at the same time, COVID brought gas expenses down (less driving). I average $1000/year in gas costs. I expect it will go up soon due to needing to drive more now.

> But to be clear you're an outlier.

Sure, I'm an outlier in that I actually track my expenses. Everyone I know who tracks auto expenses has turned out to be an outlier ;-)
It’s on top of, as the maximum you can get from public unemployment funds are capped fairly low nowadays and rarely reaches the intended 80%, hence why the unions steps in and offers extra insurance

Interesting analysis. Suprised HN is so negative towards AI (and that the positive:negative ratio to AI is about the same as it was for Crypto a few years ago!)

The obvious difference is that AI has abundant use-cases, while Crypto only has tenuous ones.

Maybe there is added negativity considering it is a technology where there is clearly a potential threat to jobs on a personal level (e.g. lift operators were very negative towards automatic lifts).

Hah. There was a case a few years ago where a cop "had sex with" a female teen (minor but above age of consent) who was handcuffed and in custody. He argued it was consensual, and the court agreed.

The sister reply has this stunning statement:

> She had no idea she lived in one of 35 states where officers can claim a detainee consented.

Why is any state allowing LEOs to have sex with detainees, "consensually" or otherwise?
> Why even buy a product like this anyway?

It's more like 'why not?'. It's still a dumb opener with a physical button and wireless remotes, and all the same third-party tricks work the same.

A nice thing about tight integration is that you don't need a bunch of extra wiring and a kludge to figure out door status. Minor annoyance, but real.

In any case, I'd wager a fair number of the people complaining about this don't even have the newer 'smart' openers, they have the original MyQ Internet Gateway or the newer MyQ Home Bridge. Liftmasters have been a very popular opener for decades.
I think in a perfect world that would be great. Unfortunately, it’s difficult to see how a system like that could ever be implemented within our lifetimes.

I personally think Baseline is a good pragmatic approach. It includes only known media, where they retain the originals for sense checking, and only includes things judged to be CSAM by trained experts. It’s probably the lightest touch possible solution that is still somewhat effective.
Sounds like a personal opinion! I believe that you think that :D

> What's the merits that allow the certification? Is it technical? Is it bureaucracy and "just" certifications?

What’s the technical difference between bureaucracy and technical merit in this context? Two compilers with equal source: (1) is rubber-stamped (audited or whatever by humans) while (2) is not.

This is based on rustc(1) so a priori I wouldn’t expect much technical difference (other than perhaps the Ferrocene fork lagging behind a bit).

I've lived in many houses in the US (eight, some new, some older, in five states) and only one had a deadbolt on the door from the garage to the house interior. All have had normal locks and were exterior-door-quality. So, definitely not a universal truth.
> Suburbs are _heavily_ subsidized. They require a ton of money from taxpayers to sustain their existence.

That's highly relative. Urban areas have high maintenance costs as well, precisely because of the higher density. The infrastructure requires more maintenance, higher sanitation costs, law enforcement, etc. Not to mention that cramming hundreds of people per km², surrounded by concrete and no vegetation, in small and dimly lit apartments, is awful for mental health. I know where I would prefer to live during the next pandemic.

> It's better for the environment

How is it better for the environment, exactly? Cities destroy the environment just by existing, and they hardly have enough green areas to sustain wild life.

> physical and social health (ever wonder why Europeans live longer?)

This has nothing to do with the urban lifestyle. Europeans live longer on average because of less socioeconomic inequality, healthier diets, and better healthcare systems.
There are no nations that currently have a both modern living and population growth, i think there are definitely some fundamental failures to make having children an attractive option in many countries like the US, but even countries that give a billion hours parental leave, tax breaks, etc. have declining populations.

your solution requires a dismantling of the entire global system of governments and economies and the implementation of something new and poorly tested. which may be in our future regardless, and may be necessary at some point. but massive change on that scale only happens in response to horrifying levels of war or unpredictable changes in technology(changes on the scale of a power positive fusion revolution). You either dont want or cannot force those things.

the immigration solution is a stop-gap and still a big change for most, but one that buys nations 40+ years and is no harder than simply opening the door that millions are banging on right now, and billions will be banging on as climate disaster grows.
Argumentative women, especially in the '90s, tend(ed) to be called bitches. That obviously changes behavior. Beyond that, much of the progress we've made in education equality is recognizing that boys and girls are, on average, different, and accounting for that. Be it nature or nurture - it doesn't matter at that point - you need to be inclusive regardless of the source of a difference or else you're failing half the population.

Everyone is, of course, an individual, and their preferences and behaviors can vary wildly outside of "norms".

I believe it is solvable without JS - you can’t prevent the request from being created, but you can prevent the second submission for having any effect.

You could add a hidden UUID to the form server side and only process any submission with a given UUID once. I believe something similar is commonly done for anti-CSRF purposes.

Alternatively, just rate limit users. A user making multiple comments within a few seconds of each other is probably either accidentally double-submitting or spamming. I think this is what HN does.

The misconception of tax brackets is also frustrating. Tax brackets are marginal. If a tax bracket cutoff is, say, 10% at 100k, and you cross it to 110k, only 10k is taxed at 10%. The other 100k is taxed as before.

The library systems that I've seen that appear to be doing well seem to have latched more onto the "third place" aspects of being a library rather than offering books. One new library in a neighboring county offers a mini makerspace, recording studio, a couple internet access labs, open wifi, meeting rooms, quiet reading and study areas, plentiful weekly activities, community events, clubs, and talks. Of course they offer the traditional books, magazines, music, movies, etc. and also have a well supplied e-media offering over the internet. It's also in the middle of a local mixed-use shopping district rather than off in some hinterland and is bustling. In the afternoons on school days the children's and dedicated teen areas are crammed with kids studying. During the workday is full of adults who are "working from home" and want a change of scenery but don't want to pay "coffee rent" at the local Starbucks. It's a great quiet co-working space because you can also walk across the street for lunch, then back to the library to finish the day out.

The libraries one county over though, are still basically books, magazines, and reading tables, and while still decently attended, do not provide nearly the public benefit that their neighboring system seems dedicated to offering. The hubbub of people using the public service just isn't there.

yeah, and maybe I'll have a heart attack and die while going to take a piss but that doesn't imply it's impossible to accurately estimate that it's going to take 5 minutes for said piss.

What if, while cooking dinner, a meteor crashes in my kitchen and so my estimate of 30 minutes to cook dinner turns out to be incorrect? That _obviously_ means the conclusion is that it's impossible to accurately estimate how long it takes to cook that dish so we should never do so.

Yes. But in fairness, inflation was basically zero for a decade before that. So it's kind of "since inflation (re)started", which makes a kind of sense, even though it's hard to compare to all the reported figures, which are annual.
