As GP said, Minivan and compact SUVs are similarly priced. Yet the populace chooses the former. If being forced to drive a minivan makes parents choose not to have a 3rd child, then it's really not about car seats it's such a minor inconvenience. Deregulation fan is just arguing for deregulation here, I doubt we'd see a marked increase in fertility rates from this.

There's a lot more to consider. How many bedrooms does your house have? Are your kids gonna share? Bathrooms? Fridge space? Can they afford 20+% extra food budget, clothing? Time to take 3 kids to extracurriculars? Summer camps cost more. Do they like to travel, that extra kid is another full seat at the age they consider nixing child seats. More kids are much more inconvenient, it's just a fact.

Besides, there are several 3-across car seat options that can be found with just a tad bit of research. We can fit 3 kids spanning 5y age diff into the back of our compact e-Golf.
The author sounds burnt out and bitter. I get that he tried really hard and didn't quite make it as far as he wanted, but this reads like he's holding onto a lot of resentment for no good reason.

My experience with doing competitive math and programming stuff was generally quite enjoyable even though I never did the best or made it to an ivy league school. I'd still encourage any kid who's at all interested to try them out. Solving puzzles is fun! Who cares if learning number theory is "useless". So are video games, football and chess.
I think you're mostly right, but a smaller part of it is the real value older technology has for some people.

The recent(-ish) resurgence in music cassettes is of course partially the usual hipster douchery, but it's also to do with how using a walkman makes people feel in control again. The experience of listening on a device that discourages skipping to the next song, switching to an artist that this song reminds you of, checking your notifications, and generally takes choice _out_ of your hands, is both relaxing and at the same time more intense in the ways that matter.

This is the same for video games, DVDs, and other physical media. Obviously there's the fact that you actually own the object too, and a streaming service can't take it away from you.

Yeah, right. And a star is anti-troll measure because they have to spend time reviewing the code for security issues or just validity, it's a minor reward for someone's time.

I disagree, forced participation to be allowed to do something in both cases, except HN isn't reviewing my upvote unlike PRs.

> This behaviour is a clear as day extortion scheme yet you are aggressively defend it, which begs the question - why? Do you profit from similar schemes?

You are so entitled and being mean! What could one possible gain from a f*cking star? Even if they can gain from it so what? What do you lose?

What a mean attitude! Someone gains, you lose nothing and that is extortion in your entitled mind. Stop using open source software if you don't understand that you're not entitled to support you don't pay for and not every open source author will have the same rules and values as your those in your familiar bubble.

For what it's worth, you can keep both, and make parallel vs sequential execution an option, with a boolean flag.

You can also leave the sequential code as a comment explaining what the parallel code does.

Or, if slow execution doesn't bother you, leave it as is.

If that were true, then federal law enforcement agencies wouldn't use social media as a database for facially recognizing people suspected of crimes.
With education and health care, those making services want to push the prices up. It is in interest of everyone but the customer. And I would guess there is lot of areas where costs have dramatically dropped in health care. But there is more of it and the new stuff is more expensive. And gains for lower costs is captured by providers and middle men.

Similar thing goes for education. Which isn't really a properly free market either.

What seems to work is offering cheaper and better alternative. Email is superior to mail at least in cost, same goes to other tech products. And whole digitization got rid of huge number of workers too. So maybe it is powerful enough buyers being present.
> And now some parts of California are also becoming uninsurable for wildfire risks. More and more homeowners are switching to government subsidized minimal coverage plans as commercial insurers increasingly refuse to write.

That's just FUD from the insurance industry. The vast majority (97%) of California home owners still have a competitive private option and the California FAIR plan insurer of last resort is a little more expensive but fully self funded, unlike the NFIP. To my knowledge it has never been bailed out by taxpayers since it was introduced almost sixty years ago. Most of the remaining 3% are in such remote areas they don't even have municipal fire fighters.

My parents have the FAIR plan in an exurb that hasn't burned in over a century and has had a major nearby wildfire a few years ago, but their immediate neighbors have private fire insurance. They have agreements with their insurers to kill all the small and medium sized plants on their properties with roundup, creating a 50-100 ft fire break around the houses. Since my parents bought the property to grow food on a ten acre homestead, they pay a little extra for the FAIR plan instead of killing everything.

Earthquake risk is hard to evaluate because of all the retrofitting. I'd be more worried about Seattle/Portland but yeah everyone just assumes California will be bailed out when the big one hits (just like we've been bailing out the East and Gulf coast for decades)
The problem with your suggestion is that it implicitly suggests death for loser commoners, of which there will always statistically be more. The loser commoners need some way to ensure their basic needs are met, or they find a way to do that anyways. For example, see all the "eat the rich" rhetoric. I don't think there's anything wrong with suggesting that people should try to make the most of what they have, but suggesting that you need math skills or a Stanford degree to be guaranteed basic human needs or rights is a shortsighted perspective that doesn't account for the variety of human experience, eventually leading to surmounting misery for others. For anyone with a consequentialist pov, consider this: increasing societal misery only leads to broken communal structures, and failures in social contracts (implicit or otherwise). Simply, more poor and sad people = more chances of societal unrest = less safe society for everyone (including elites).
Perhaps the boring truth is that they don't have info because there are not aliens.

Nit picking, but there's a bunch of Nissan Chademo still around. Like my Leaf. I'm a bit perplexed that Nissan is still selling new Chademo cars here, since it's on the way out. I very rarely need DC charging though, and there's still lots of Chademo locations if I do. That aside, the Leaf is a wonderful car.

Yes, there is much work to be done. And it will have to be done to move forward. We've eroded sidewalks and put driveways along major stroads. Parking lots often match or exceed the size of the businesses they serve. We've reached maximum density with car-centric city planning.

There are some software decisions that worked well up to a certain point, but simply won't scale reliably to the current level let alone what you need for the foreseeable future. At some point you have to bite the bullet and refactor. Refactoring takes skill, and you need the right folks for the job, but it will get harder and more expensive the longer you wait. It typically doesn't have to be done all at once. Just fix as you go and stop following the older patterns. Have a plan and work toward the goal one step and a time. One commit at a time. One stroad at a time.

I believe they are referencing wash trading[1], where trades are made of a certain security but the buyers and sellers are the same person/group. This makes it appear like there is more demand for the security in the market, enticing buyers who look solely at trade volume. Forbes did some investigation[2] and found that a a lot of the trades that occur on exchanges are wash trades. So while it's clear that bitcoin is a cultural phenomenon it's hard to say exactly how much of the market is real and how much is a show to get more people holding bags and willing to pick up more.

Anecdata: I enjoy it from time to time because I feel Terry Gross does a better job of listening to her guests' answers and asking follow-up questions on what they're expressing.

Most interviewers seem to have a rigid playbook, and effectively treat their guests' responses as scripted theater. Ask the pre-written question, allow the guest to perform for the listener, then move on.

E.g. the patently boring "Tell me about your new movie" > (canned story) > (laugh together) > (next topic)

IMHO, one of Terry's best skills as an interviewer is listening and being actively curious.
A few options are:

1. Select abstract or select all text then copy/paste.

2. Save the PDF and upload with ChatGPT’s document feature.

3. Ask for it, “what’s that well known LLM paper about context and getting lost in the middle?”. It will web search as needed.

You can also do more than summarize. Ask about equations, ask it to make analogies, challenge the key findings as devil’s advocate to learn from different angles. Propose your own ideas.

Use voice to digest topics during your commute and ask tons of questions until you understand.

Insightful articulation of the concept of technical debt (likening it to a financial loan) but it somewhat oversimplifies the nuanced and often non-linear nature of software development. I observe that technical debt is not always a straight trade-off between speed and future maintenance. Sometimes, what appears as debt could be a strategic decision aligned with evolving business goals or market demands. The article underestimates the dynamic nature of software projects where initial assumptions might change, making the so-called 'debt' a necessary step in the process of innovation and adaptation. This perspective fails to acknowledge that in certain scenarios, adhering too rigidly to best practices can lead to missed opportunities or an inability to pivot quickly in response to user feedback or changing market conditions.

Not that great, necessarily. Sometimes I wish that I could simply be happy with a "normal" job that pays the bills. Instead of feeling like I have to pursue an academic career, just to be able to work on the problems I am interested in.

You could either 1. itemize the charging bill on their monthly rent, if that parking spot is reserved for one tenant. Really should be no difference from the rest of their electricity use. 2. Charge a flat fee on their rent, and then give them charging for free between off-peak hours. Some utilities offer very cheap off peak rates for EV charging, 3. integrate a credit card reader or bill acceptor for cash payment. Option 3 seems hard if you are trying to cost optimize the charger hardware.

I am bearish on universal PnC being practical to implement. Every EV manufacturer has to make agreements with every EVSE operator to use the same root CAs and same billing system. If you think of an EVSE like a vending machine, there really is no interoperability precedent for this kind of payment. Tesla is special case because they operate both the cars and charging network. But if Pepsi owned and operated all of their vending machines, we probably would have seen the same walled garden.
I think any company that allows staff to carve out what would be normally work "hours" to contribute to open source is a gift. They don't have to do that at all but DHH and folks there are big proponents of open source.
by opening up supercharging network, Tesla becomes eligible for billions of federal money. that tips the scales towards open superchargers.

Honestly alongside everything else (people hated them and their chargers, they got stolen constantly, etc. etc. etc.) the scooters themselves have collapsed in price, you can pick one up at Best Buy now for like $500. And yeah that's a lot but most of the people who were interested in renting them were a little upmarket anyway, so once they became affordable(ish) why would you rent one when you could own one?
It is really an odd flex. As soon as you need a transpiler, which many modern JS devs are going to want and need for the benefits they provide (Typescript being huge) then using JSX seems a benefit not a problem to solve.
I would say that it means whatever procedures we build for taking pictures of "known criminals" and applying recognition to someone in your store, they need to be designed and implemented and carried out by people who are aware at all stages that there is a good possibility that they had the wrong person -- how would you want, say, your grandma to be treated if someone wrongly identified her from a criminal picture but wasn't sure? Treat that person that way.

This is hard, we generally do the opposite. Especially in racialized ways in the USA.

Underground infrastructure is expensive. If anything gets stuck you are screwed.

Because HTML escaping is more complex than it should have to be. Image parsing is also a "solved problem" (if you ignore all the parser bugs that crop up in image libraries all the time).

Actually, prepared statements are another case of doing it right! We finally realized that safely embedding text into SQL queries is way too complex, so instead we submit prepare/parametrize the query, and transfer the values separately using a vastly simpler protocol.
Depends entirely on if enough people actually rent them. And do the rents cover cost and the charging and so on...

That’s a easyn one. The charger manufacturers (ChargePoint, etc) want to rake a percentage of the charging revenue for themselves, so they force you to route payment processing through them.

FWIW, I used Suica on Apple Wallet on my iPhone 12 in July of this year. Adding money to the card required a debit card tied to my bank. Payment failed with a Visa credit card. Additionally, payment only worked during Japan business hours. But as long as there was money on the card, the card itself (on the phone) worked around the clock. The card worked for train travel, convenience stores, and vending machines.
