Tesla isn't demanding the postal union to ship them the plates, they are demanding to be allowed to pick up the plates by themselves.
The irony is that CPU is a compressible resource, and the cloud provider is almost assuredly over-subscribing customer loads.

GovCloud may be different for security purposes, not sure.
Brother makes solid products that just work, in my experience. They are successful because of that. Their products are not just "fine", they are great products.
About the Education System
Reality has a well known Bayesian bias…

Joking aside, these slides are excellent! Is there an associated video or course that they were a part of?
The growth mindset is utterly idiotic. It presumes an endlessly growing market with endless resources and endless GDP growth. Everything has a natural growth stop: it's called adulthood. And after that you are supposed to take responsibility and act your age, rather than that you keep on demanding more like some angry toddler.
There are more accidents on the Autobahn due to trucks than due to excessive speed.
higher salaries would be captured by landlords.
Are they on strike though? Are they refusing to come in to work and not being paid?

From the blurb it sounds like they're choosing to not deliver mail to one particular person/company .. which sounds absurd.. I assume postal workers can't on their own decide to not deliver mail to people/companies they don't like as long as it's framed as a protest
ML pipelines and why they are important
Lots of companies work without collective agreements in Sweden though. Under law it's completely free if you want to do so or not. You could as well say that the unions are threatening the Swedish model due to taking this to such extreme levels. Especially as it doesn't seem most employees at Tesla want the unions involved.
model # please.
Pick up the plates from whom?

They don't just teleport into a stack in the parking lot of the post office on their own. A pickup would involve employees. Who are members of the union.
That was exactly the way I worded it.

This obsession with growth is so utterly self-centered. I still have those chairs, by the way.
Seems very likely the strike action will win out, otherwise there's no effective route to strike action from postal workers. Whether they aren't allowed to strike or Postnord is allowed to bring in non-union workers, both would neutralise any strike effectiveness, and given Sweden's strong labour laws it seems unlikely that would be the case.

Another way of looking at it is that Postnord is not refusing as a policy to deliver mail, and that's probably what the legal obligation is around. It's just that their employees are striking so mail isn't currently being delivered. The same happens in the UK, Royal Mail are obligated to deliver to every address, but that doesn't stop there being strikes.

The site has ads, so their intentions are obviously to make money with ads ;-)
No one takes advantage of them.
I also experience generally great support(compared to average) from Amazon. Google has been the worst support I have ever dealt with.

Google support is also poorly trained on social engineering.
So, clocks are subject to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle? I guess good for them for testing that!
You are describing the lot of the HN crowd that overlaps with HBO Silicon Valley. Having soylent for lunch and microdosing LSD for productivity.

> investment based economy with unclear benefits to society at large

"unclear benefits"? Unlimited growth is causing the environmental collapse.
I'll start by saying it's a great concept, and beautifully executed in general. And I'm sorry to be one of several piling on about perceived (I did say I was "unreasonably" frustrated with the arrangement) shortcomings of the arrangement.

All to say, thanks for making something interesting enough to disagree with/about, and thanks for the clarifications.
I believe this is what will happen. The Swedish unions can’t budge, and Elon won’t budge, so there’s really no other solution to this conflict.
What I don't get is: a strike is a protest in which workers refuse to work but also pay by renouncing their salary for the days they didn't work. If post employees selectively decide to not deliver to a specific client or address, what cost are they sustaining? Is their salary impacted?
Whatever the equivalent of the DMV in Sweden is?
FPGAs and the renaissance of retro hardware
I have been using many different browsers over the years. I regularly use safari, firefox, chrome, and occasionally even Edge and so on.

I keep going back to firefox. Why? It has some power-features I haven't really found in many other browsers. It lets you easily explicitly search through your tabs (% in url bar). It has first party plugin for containers, letting you log in to multiple accounts on the same domain without having to log out all the time. It's also worth noting that Rust, the language, as far as I understand was essentially invented to make features in firefox memory safe.

With all the praise for firefox, it should be mentioned that their business model is centered around passing on searches to google.
I agree that it's a good rule. Of course the people responsible for staffing aren't usually the people building services.
Why do companies hire people to be idle a lot of the time?
If you can't replace your handheld drill to another model because no other model "fits your hand that well", all the other carpenters in the market are going to have an edge over you.
The department is still making the plates, it is only the postal employees that are refusing to deliver them.
Audio-Technica ATR2100x, bought it for Zoom during the pandemic, very pleased. If you're in the market for an inexpensive upgrade, read the reviews for this. You will probably want to add a pop filter, even a very basic one makes a big difference. I use mine with a boom arm clamped to my desk.
On the "what is the legal basis for..." I think Tesla is beginning a process to have their hinds (and stock price) protected. A businessman will not just raise his hands up in the air in despair and say "ok I will not proceed". No, he/Tesla is suing as they have every right to and if local/top Swedish court says "oops can't do anything" then they can easily escalate to a higher court (EU) will solve it for them. Meanwhile a higher court can slap Sweden with a beautiful fine i.e. "after 1/1/2025 you will be paying €1m per week until you resolve this.

There are many solutions to this problem, and Swedish post office being a sympathetic dick is not (imho) the right way.
Are you asking because you have the power to implement some of the missing features, or because you will tell me I don't actually need what i think i want.

1) i never could get password/autofill syncing between several devices working quickly and reliable as in chrome.

2) no app mode in Firefox

3) on desktop i don't like the UI and i would need to install userchrome stuff to "fix" it.
I use OpenCV for blur detection and camera shake detection on mobile devices, to qualify the image before handing it along to an AI model to extract data. I can't think that 2 extra neural networks would be faster at this task than OpenCV is, even if they might be better given how subjective blur is.
Companies have life cycles, but it is especially those companies that were successful early on whose drive to keep growing causes damage. That's when you get into patent portfolios, IP milking, M&A and squeezing competitors by cross subsidizing products.

Growth for growth's sake is simply wrong. It is always growth at the expense of something larger.
It depends on whats actually in the lawsuit. The regulations may say that about the mail in general, but Tesla might just argue the government MUST supply a non Postnord method of distribution if Postnord doesn't have to do it.

Also, Postnord as an organization is different than a trade union in postnord, etc.

The law is not a "the writing says this so its always this". Saying "postal law vs right to strikes" is a false dilemma. It might just mean "the government must allow an alternate distribution method for basic services if postnord has no obligation to deliver mail."
This is really stupid and dangerous. There is a music to brain waves and this is disturbing the harmony.

Can’t we all just be different and be ok with it?
Ecuador President Orders Reversal of Drug Decriminalization
> A state giving its own citizens the right to bear arms in case its own government becomes tyrannical is philosophically one of the most pure "common person" freedoms there is because it takes power away from the state in a place it really might matter.

Philosophically, I guess, but in actuality it's completely pointless.

If the state is taken over by a tyrannical dictator and the military themselves are complicit (don't attempt a coup/rebel against it) then someone owning a handgun is going to be scant resistance.
I wish that were true for my Brother printer. I bought a basic but decent black and white laser printer of theirs several years ago, and it worked great for maybe 3 years, but then it started refusing to accept print jobs from all inputs (wifi, ethernet, USB, doesn’t matter, neither does the device sending the print job) and factory resets do nothing to help it. So now, it sits in a closet while the Canon inkjet with janky print heads that it replaced is doing print duty.

Apparently this can be fixed be reflashing its firmware but from what I can gather this requires some obscure utility that’s not generally available.
I had to give up on this goal. There are simply no dumb TVs in my country.

I even considered getting a monitor, but you can't get one as big as a TV.
Just have more dishwashers, and use them as storage cabinets: pick from a clean cabinet if you need tableware, deposit in a dirty cabinet when you are done and if you have at least three of them the transition is free to take a lot of time.
Geopolitical jokes are fun only if they are cleverly silly and not just uninformed.

It’s open secret Sweden has had secret security guarantees from US for decades (probably part of agreement that Sweden will not develop their own nuclear strike capability).

This is not something US would back out of on a whimsy.

What does the US government have to do with anything :/

I am a pro EU person but I feel you are being quite dismissive of an important issue. Namely that understanding the EU governing structure is very impenetrable to a great number of people, much more so than their national government. The foundation of democracy is that citizens distribute power. How does democracy work if citizens have very little idea about how that works in the EU?

Then you also have people from smaller coubtries who are quite concerned about centralization tendencies in the EU.
Looking at these posts people want to be on the "right side" of this issue and I don't get it.

I still use reddit the same today as I have been for the last 10+ years (chrome + RES). /r/all is as bad as it's ever been, however my subbed feed hasn't changed much.
How do you feel about alcohol prohibition? Marijuana prohibition? Outlawing recreational intercontinental flights?

I'd argue there's plenty of things that we do that have negative effects on society or on the climate, which aren't really necessary to do, and which we allow only because people enjoy them.
License plates go to the manufacturer only? How does that work when a used car is sold between individuals?

In the US, I don’t need the manufacturer (or dealer) to get a plate - I just go to the DMV on my own.
>but I can also see the argument that the license is an official document and hence must be delivered by official mail.

There's no legal reason for this to be true, as far as I can tell. Official documents get handed out in person all the time.
I think I'll move my refrigerator upstairs.
Isn't C++ support quite minimal for both?
I'd presume those plates get from the license plate factory to the DMV offices somehow. I'd presume that method isn't carrier pigeon.
Yes, it is totally relevant. Creating a product that processes images/videos/photos typically requires composing some small models, applying classical functions to work with polygons, edges, transformation matrices to rotate/shift coordinates and pixels, resizing, working with colors, working with bright/contrast curves, open/write files, classic filters, etc. PyTorch and Tensorflow don't have this or use in their examples OpenCV functions to do it.
If you go to something like a local IDPA match and ask someone people wearing them, you might get some recommendations.
How expensive would it be, transportation included, compared to an insulated water container of comparable heat capacity?
After playing more than 20 years of all different kinds of CIV, especially switching back and forth between the versions, it dawned on me that the most important aspect of a game like CIV is the display of information, the UX. It all boils down to how I as player consumes the informations and forms my decisions. The second most important thing of any many hours long game is the number of times I have to click something with the mouse. And there is obvious: the more clicks, the worse, in particular if the click is actually avoidable. The rest is for me secondary. Any kind of graphics will do as long as I can see clearly on first glance what it represents.
It’s possible PTS approves blockades as “exceptional circumstances” and exempts PostNord from their obligation to deliver mail to Tesla?
If he does that, he will have to do the same with norway, and probably Denmark too.

Also, Tesla will have to open-source his hardware, because it will have to respect warranties, and without transport/local Tesla shops, the only alternative will be conventional car shop, which right now cannot really serve Teslas, at least in France.
I have zero insight into how Tesla workers are treated here in Sweden, but it’s important to note that Sweden doesn’t even have a minimum wage law (it has been directly opposing such rules on an EU-level as well) because this should be negotiated between workers (unions) and employers. If Tesla continues to operate in Sweden without a collective agreement this model will break down.
If that is allowed under the law now, why don't they? If is not permitted under current law, not sure how easy it is to change law with a suit.
its mostly wining. They want cheap, fast to hire labour without investing anything, so they wine that they cannot find anyone to do jobs that pay less than social security.
Song and rhymes! That makes a lot of sense :))
The Science of Beer Bellies
Yep, as of 2022 with ~9k sales. Doubt much changed there.
Back in the 90s, I went for 215 KM/h with a Audi 100, but found it too exhausting. Everything goes so fast, and you have to be super-aware at all times. I doubt I drove more than 5 minutes at that speed.
No, it proves just enough: because growth is followed to absurd lengths regularly and you will be hard pressed to find many other attitudes that are followed to those lengths in quantities that make that much difference to everybody alive today.

The three month stock market cycle coupled with capitalism and advertising are at the root of a ton of societal problems that we are incapable of solving within that framework. Between those three we are all just lemons to be squeezed.
It's a 2.4, but hardly matters. It's actually a 170hp model, the 140hp was a software limitation that closes the throttle plate at upper RPM around 4500RPM and up.

The modern S60(2010-2015) is a far cry from the sizes of the old models, it was made as small as the P1 era S40. The S80 P3 model is the size of the old S60 P2.

Honestly I cannot say why the engine is so inefficient, maybe it was the weight + it being an automatic, who knows really.
they had, in May. hahah. But really, why May is a cutoff date?
Will we ever get a bug explanation, I wonder.
They're not even a de jure NATO member yet.

But if you want "informed" opinion, I've just gone through this series of studies: "Military Strategy in the 21st Century - The Challenge for NATO" [1], where on page no. 415 there's an essay titled "Military Strategy in Denmark" by a guy called Petter Viggo Jakobsen, Associate Professor at the Institute for Strategy at the Royal Defence College, while on page no. 433 there's another study titled "Norway's Military Strategy after the Cold War: Between Demise and Revival", by a guy named Tormod Heier, lieutenant colonel in the Norwegian Army and Professor in Political Science at the Norwgeian Defence University College. Both of those studies underline how both Norway's and Denmark's strategy deeply rely on the good-will of the United States.

Granted, Sweden is not Norway nor Denmark, but it's not De Gaulle's France either, so I suspect, based on my informed readings, that their military and defence strategy is closer to today's strategy of Norway and Denmark than to the military strategy espoused back in the 1960s by a country such as France (which could back then to say no to the Americans).

No. The internet in general is pretty bad for making friends IRL. Even the apps dedicated to it like humble bff are pretty poor.
Show HN: Hacker News Submission Compiler
Hi! I'm excited to share a website I created that compiles the top 100 submissions on Hacker News on a daily basis. It's simple to use and supports arrow key navigation. Check it out and let me know what you think!
Yes, I did reach out to one person about their project, turned into a weekly drinks kind of thing, and eventually petered out after a year or two.

One of my frustrations with the modern internet is how infrequently it leads to offline gatherings and connections these days. It used to be very normal that mailing lists, user groups, etc. would gather online, but also have a weekly/monthly meeting, conference, or post job ads/things for sale, etc. and you'd just organically end up meeting people and hanging out.

These days, the internet seems to be for people who really just want to discuss opinions endlessly and anonymously, but never do anything about it offline.

One does, very occasionally, see posts on HN about meetups, but it's rare and just one-off and ad-hoc, you'd think a big city like London, NYC, Boston, Chicago, etc. could easily sustain an ongoing weekly/monthly thing.
How can spreadsheetguru be the perpetrator? There seem to be disqus comments on that article that are many years old?

There should be a good reason to add any legal restrictions. We should not regulate everything unless there is a good reason not too...

As such, if the autobahn isn't a death trap, is there a good reason to impose a speed limit where there isn't one?

"There's no reason not to" is a rhetorical trick but not an argument.
Aka the coffin corner.
I think HN deserves far more discussion on hackerspaces/makerspaces and such! My local hackerspace is Garoa Hacker clube[1]; unfortunately I haven't had the time to participate much. If you're in São Paulo, I recommend a visit (for the 'Noite de Processing' (Processing nights)) on tuesday, and if you live here, what are you waiting for? :) (those spaces can always use more participation!) ... and maybe someday we'll meet there as well.

Noite de Processing is also streamed online as well usually by the great Alexandre Villares. The next one is tuesday 28/11/2023![2]

Tesla said they would want to pick it up at the factory. The factory is putting them in nice packages to be delivered.
> pre-rinsing dishes is an anti-pattern

The previous owners of my house had a very expensive KitchenAid, which we had to replace shortly after moving in due to the stench. There was pink sludge EVERYWHERE, and no amount of disassembly and cleaning fully removed it.

Replaced with a Bosch (forget the model number, but one with the CrystalDry feature, which is awesome), which I like better anyway. I pre-rinse, because enzymes in detergent aren’t magic, and food eventually becomes a pink sludge.
I'm not a car person so I had to look it up. Wikipedia says the former can do 0–100km/h in 3.9 seconds and tops out at 302 km/h (depending on which version you get within that series of course).

There's F1, race cars, and street-legal sports cars. To me, this sort of performance is on par with the latter category (as one never needs either of those specs in regular driving) and I can definitely see someone calling them a car capable of behaving like a sports car.
Nordic unions underwrite the cost of strike action and pay workers any lost wages that result.

There's a statement by IF Metals (the central metalworking union whose ~130 odd members are being refused a collective agreement by Tesla) that they'll support their workers through this. I would image that postal and dockworkers see similar support from their unions (although they are working on every item save those that go to/fro Tesla and are not affected to the same degree).
At least not directly, if they sell via a dealership/importer who employs unionized labor they have no problem it's only direct from Tesla sales that's impacted but then again a big part of Tesla's model is of cause that they don't use franchised dealerships as middlemen.
It's worth noting that this is almost certainly a deliberate policy to push Firebase Cloud Messaging signups & inclusion of accompanying blobs in 3rd-party Android apps.

Even within the non-PWA app world, low adoption of initiatives like UnifiedPush[0] & Android OpenPush[1] mean the canonical way for even open-source Android apps to do efficient push is by including proprietary Google blobs for FCM support, all mediated through Google servers. This is by far the biggest blocker for otherwise FOSS apps to distribute "clean" releases without proprietary code.

If Google are putting up these kind of hurdles for app store apps, it makes sense they wouldn't make it any better for PWAs.

I'm in Germany for many years and drive tens of thousand kilometers across western Europe every year.

It is a rare sight that you even cross someone going at 200 km/h. First there are continuous construction works on the roads. Then you need to remember the constant traffic jams just about everywhere.

The picture on that article is from the autobahn in Frankfurt with direction to Darmstadt. It is one of the few places with 4 lanes where you can speed at your hearts content for about 10 kilometers and then slow down. This if you are lucky that slow drivers go the right-most lanes, often that doesn't even happen so you have to slow down again.

The only exception are fridays when driving to East Germany and Poland. On those roads you can speed and the large majority of them are just trying to get earlier home and enjoy more time with family.

Quite frankly, the most dangerous road in Western Europe have got to be French highways. In those you get young kids doing all kind of dangerous moves and speeding right behind you without respect. German drivers are noticeably more mature, you drive fast but with experience without thrills.
