It's a result of cultural imperialism and basic psychology.

Many Europeans are bathed in US media. They see the huge cars constantly on US footage, and some are inclined to purchase these even if they are impractical in EU towns and cities. As these behemoths are introduced in the traffic mix, others in classic smaller cars feel threathened, and their next purchase will be a big tanky SUV to feel less vulnerable.

It self-reinforces from there.
This wanker (Been driving a Land Cruiser 95 since 2001) feels positively out-wanked when driving in the US; my 4x4 is considered large-ish at home, but is dwarfed by what appears to be common fare in at least parts of the US; I was in Port Fourchon, LA last week, driving a Corolla - the Silverados, RAMs, F350s and whatnot surrounding me could almost fit my Land Cruiser in the glove box!

The Corolla? I don't think half of them would even have noticed if they ran it over.

Anyway - point being, I don't think we are anywhere near getting caught up in the giant car fad. Not yet, anyway.

Sounds like someone has never had to replace a wiring harness or deal with electrical “gremlins.” Also a lot of parts are just really terribly made these days. I had a 2000 car that was already succombing to modern plastic everything crap philosophy. Basically all the motors controlling the windows or power door locks were shot or close to shot. The internal gearing was all plastic and had gone brittle. The fix? Take apart the internal panelling and replace the whole motor assembly with a new unit that has the same fundamental issue with it, even though a five cent gear or clutch is what broke, until you can source no more new oem units, at which point the part is broken until the end of time since all the junkyard stock will also be rotting apart. This is the world we are building for ourselves.

> Let's consider your proposed 8086 done in a 14 nm process. Let's say we do it in CMOS, and maybe even throw in a few extra features, and it takes 100,000 transistors. The die would be very tiny, so unbelievably tiny. You could fit three thousand of them, with room to spare, in a single square millimetre, which is an area likely smaller than the period at the end of this sentence.
This is what Google’s and Apple’s (and Nintendo’s, and Microsoft’s, and Sony’s) cut covers. They built the platform, the system, provide straightforward billing, provide the “shopping mall” that draws eyeballs, etc.

It’s not just payment processing.

Fair fees for the exchange of value they provide is perfectly valid and fair in capitalistic societies. The percentage number is up for discussion, but “charging for value” by the platform vendors who built the thing and provide the platform itself is a valid point.

I presume you were inspired by this that was posted yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38458683
I had a company name that was of the Adjective-Descriptive type.

Where both terms were common dictionary words.

An example for a software company would be something like "Superior Software, inc."

This was just fine even though there were numerous other companies already established such as Superior Trucking, Superior Accounting, Superior Construction, all unrelated to each other. Software customers really were not going to be confused, and once the name was claimed by you then a different software company would not be able to use the same name if they wanted to.

In this case it has to be accepted that other "Superior" companies are likely to arise after you have gotten into business, unknown and unrelated to you. It shouldn't make any difference when other businesses start up like Superior Auto Parts or Superior Landscaping.

But it's also possible for others to start a company with a name like like Superior Networking which you might have actually wanted for yourself in the future in case your software effort branched out into a networking division or something. By then it may be too late.

However, from the beginning, confusion is established with upstream relationships. Like banks and suppliers.

In my case the bank had lost some of my original documentation, it's always possible that it actually could have been incorrectly filed with the data from one of many unrelated companies having the same first name.

Years went by without any problem until one day somebody started a new different unrelated company also using the "Superior" name quite legitimately. But when they ended up using the same bank we had, our company account slipped out of our control for a while there, because the documentation confirming that we were not them had not been on file for so many years. During which it never functionally mattered until this type of upset.

I accepted their explanation that their loss of records was due to a well-known natural disaster years earlier, but it was still quite an ordeal to have your identity compromised by the bank itself simply because their system was like dominoes ready to fall without any initial malicious action. Definitely never used that bank again.

Another time I was at an employer with a regional adjective for a company name, something like "Pacific Electronics" would be a good example. I'm in the lab and one day I needed a rush order of parts from a specific sole-source supplier which we never had used before. Turned in a requisition but our business office was not very good at essential things like establishing new vendors so I didn't expect much expediting. Our office people had dropped the ball every single time in the past.

The next day, the package showed up by Fedex, I was delighted.

Looking at the paperwork it could be seen that everything went so smoothly because the vendor had shipped to us while billing a completely different company who had a long-established account, something like "Pacific Electrical Services", instead of billing us at all.
Hey! I’ve used Label Live a lot. Great app and excellent value. Thank you!
Does anyone have figures or estimates of Twitter's daily engagement? The people I follow seem to be as active as ever.
The rest of the west is allied with the US because they’re the least evil guys, not because they’re the good guys.

I’m Dutch and knowing that the US has a constant threat of extreme violence against us written into their law scares the crap out of me. We’re supposed to be happy jolly NATO allies but srsly that shit is not cool.

How can an obit about a 100 year old man garner 328 comments in 5 hours on HN? This is Nixon era stuff. I would have assumed most HN reader’s parents weren’t born when Kissinger was actually relevant. The HN demographic is way older than I imagined.

Hey there. GrapheneOS community moderator here. In case you haven't taken a look, I would recommend reading through https://grapheneos.org/features to get a better sense of what GrapheneOS provides beyond what you mention above.

I also wanted to address a few things:

Applying updates quickly is extremely important. You seem to consider GrapheneOS supporting devices that get timely updates and make developing for them easier to be "cheating", for some reason. Regardless, every GrapheneOS change has to be ported to each monthly, quarterly and yearly release of Android, which isn't a trivial task, as I'm sure you can imagine, but it's done correctly and quickly, because it's important.

Now, I also wanted to address the last part of your comment here, because judging from your other comments in these thread, you seem to have a bone to pick with the project and its team. It's unfortunate that a lot of the time, project members and community members taking the time to properly answer questions and explaining how things work is seen as a bad thing because it is not the thing that you (or anyone else, I'm just using you as an example here) wanted to hear. The team considers it very important to help people understand how things work, as there is unfortunately a lot of misinformation about these topics. The fact that we're passionate about explaining how these things work, and the fact that it clashes with people's preconceived notions about things often means they're hostile in return, which is unfortunate, but still, it is important.
Ah, so like SQLite but for model weights.

Edit: No, actually a lot more than that, but not a bad tagline.

Yes, the carbon footprint of building an EV exceeds that of an ICE. Nobody at all disputes this.

But over the life of the car, because they're not burning gasoline, the overall carbon footprint of an EV is lower. Even if your electricity comes from 100% coal, eventually the carbon footprint of the ICE will exceed the EV because burning coal at a massive scale to create electricity is more efficient than a small combustion engine, where well over half the energy is just waste heat.

And if your electricity comes from 100% renewables, then the carbon footprint is merely the manufacturing and will be significantly lower over the life of the car.
I the 2nd point maybe I didn't get across well is more that the initial three years does not tell as much or are very useful. In 2023 people are not buying new cars with the high interest rates we have now, taking that depreciation hit, only to sell three years later.

Also:

> If you are not average, expect results that are not average. That goes both ways.

I still have trouble believing BMW has 3x the reliability in the first three years than practically all the American manufacturers.

> think a bit deeper than "X > Y so X = better"

that's pretty much what the list is for.

imho. (!)

idk. what the fuzz is all about:

yes, running a mail-server is a complex task - but nothing to write home about!!

personally i prefer exim over postfix - because of its configuration: exim has a really flexible configuration-language which enabled me for example to operate qmail-ldap and exim-ldap from the same LDAP-tree - for migration purposes a few years ago -, using the qmail-ldap.schema vs postfix which insists heavily on the posix.schema ...

additionally i prefer courier-imap over dovecot, for no apparent reason, just because i use it since ... ever. and i don't care about peoples performance who keep something like 10 k emails in their inbox/IMAP-folder ... yes, for this use-case dovecot is significantly faster / because of caching ;))

just my 0.02€

ps. i used qmail-ldap and qmail for over 20 years, and it was a really great piece of software - kudos to djb, but even brilliant code ages over the decades - for example, i didn't want to implement IPv6 support for outgoing mails myself / the available patch didn't cooperate well with the ldap-patch itself if i remember this correctly etc.

pps. i would recommend: use an LDAP-directory for email ... openldap is an extremely lightweight and easy to operate piece of software. and its easy to replicate the db around - if you have multiple nodes in your mail-system - etc. ;)

Hooo boy that makes the fans ANGRY! :D

Some people get _so_ into a movie that they literally memorise every trailer. Then they actively try to find the scenes from the trailer while watching the movie.

And if those don't match, they'll shout at the Internet.

Case in point: Rogue One had shots in the trailer that never made it to the final movie (charging through the beaches and the Tie-fighter rising to meet Jyn in the tower). People went berserk.

But I 100% agree with you, they should shoot the trailer scenes separately and not have any of them actually in the movie just to keep it interesting.
I exported all my notes and didn't renew. Lay off your entire US staff and see if I support you.

In the words of Elon Musk ... well, you know by now ...
The way he looks at the audience, expecting a positive reaction, it seems to me that the memes have really got into his head and he thinks people still love him for being so edgy and 'funny'. Instead, he comes across as a dangerous lunatic with too much power and money.

>400k and fully remote is still not easy. Most of the obvious high payers in big tech (e.g. Meta) have required days in the office, and I can think of very few high-paying companies that don’t have N days RTO at all levels (literally only Netflix off the top of my head).

It is also not the case that such people get in without interviews. Senior+ (though largely staff+) is generally when you can make 400k and there are definitely still grueling interview loops at those levels.
He admits the company will die if advertisers pull out, and his solution is to document it and let the world know that the advertisers were the reason the company died.

FU money or not, Twitter has bills and interest (nearly a billion a year the last I heard) to pay. High spending advertisers redrawing from Twitter hurts. Several hundred million dollars is still several hundred million dollars even if you are a billionaire.
I find it sad that almost nobody is willing to take a nuanced view on Elon. I can highly recommend people to read Isaacson‘s biography of him. You don’t have to like him (you won’t), but it’s good to have a well formed opinion.
That some times works, but the references I'm interested in aren't always the one directly on the route. For instance, the name of the street just before the one you need to turn into can be helpful to remember. Also, if it's a list of directions I no longer have the context of the actual map, so it's a subpar solution regardless.
I always joked that the devil wouldn't take him and he's not allowed in heaven.

Anyone with access to an internet browser can see that what Media Matters did was orchestrated and coordinated among the media and engineered as a hit piece. It was done exclusively for political reasons. Media Matters doesn’t care about anti-semitism, they’re a political lobby and their purpose is getting Democrats elected.

My opinion: it will backfire more on the advertisers than it does for X, with so much of the country taking Elon’s side.
>Musk responded that the advertising boycott is likely to kill the company. "What this advertising boycott is going to do is it's going to kill the company, and the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company and we will document it in great detail," Musk said.

"By the numbers: Engagement metrics are down across the board.

App downloads fell roughly 38% globally between October 2022 and September 2023, according to Sensor Tower estimates. In the U.S., mobile app downloads fell 57% in the same time period. Data from Data.AI, another app tracking firm, shows similar trends.

Usage has also decreased, with monthly active Android users falling 14.8% globally and 17.8% with mobile users in the U.S. year-over-year for the month of September, per SimilarWeb.

Average time spent, daily per user, fell 2% year-over-year globally in the third quarter of 2023. Sessions dipped 4% in that same time period, per Sensor Tower.
User churn, or users who stop using the app, increased more than 30% year-over-year as of September 2023, per Sensor Tower.

Web traffic was down 7% globally and 11.6% in the U.S. for the first nine months of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, per SimilarWeb."

Twitter has always been a power-user platform, but lacks mass appeal.

MAUs are down 15-20% YoY, gross churn is up 30%, but time spent is only down 2%.

You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking.

The way EA does donations is "I'll take a premise I believe in and will stretch the argument until it makes no sense". This is how they end up thinking that a massage for an AI researcher is money better spent than on hungry Yemeni children for example.

Once you view it like this, I wouldn't put it past them to blatantly lie. Looking at the facts as you say, they tried to replace a guy that is moving ahead with a guy that wants to slow it down to a crawl, that's pretty much all we need to know.
Funny! But your question did get me thinking. I don't know anything about this podcast nor much about Kissenger, but a podcast dedicated to bad people could be objective, I think, if they were to pick their subjects based on objective criteria.
