One time when I was very young, I was already such a tech-nerd that I chose to attack my father with a magnet, intended to damage his wristwatch.

I was calmly informed that he'd already selected a watch that was immune to magnetic fields. But of course that was a real danger to old-fashioned movements which had many ferrous parts that relied on not sticking together.

I never lived it down. Some of our childish rebellions are ridiculous in retrospect!
Usually renting is an easy workaround. For instance you can rent a private room at a pub for your yearly gathering. Or rent heavy equipment when you need it for your garden.
I don’t get it. I own a Model 3 and I’ve done road trips from home (NL) to Paris and south Germany. Paris is especially easy with one single stop at a supercharger next to places to get food.

If people would choose not to get an EV because of having to make one single stop then they’re idiots.
Luckily Tesla is opening up their stations very soon.

I think hybrids are the ideal car that addresses the current reality and infrastructure as it is at this moment in time. Most trips can be driven electric only, while also having the ICE to address those edge cases and long trips while at the same time removing range anxiety.
Sorry my mistake. I guess the wrong name stuck in my head.

Using real guns is totally normal, because they fire real explosives (so you get a muzzle flash) which can and occasionally do kill people - the only difference between a proper gun and the ones they use in movies is you need to be a lot closer to the movie weapon to be killed by it.

What's not normal is a lack of adequate safety checks around handling of the weapons and there were severe complaints about inadequate breaks for crew and even unconfirmed reports of other people injured by prop guns prior to that day on the same film set. It can be a really difficult issue to deal with - you have literally thousands of people to coordinate.

Exact details of what happened in the Alec Baldwin case are unclear, manslaughter chargers are still winding through the courts, and they include a charge of tampering with evidence which means we may never find out what really happened.

What I can say, working in the acting industry, is I have often been tired (back to back 22 hour shifts where you're forced to eat and drink while working will do that to you) and I've made mistakes while operating in those conditions and seen other people make mistakes that resulted in serious injuries. Managing breaks is a real problem in the industry and technical difficulties are one of the most common causes of delays.
> I'll never understand why the Unicode Consortium chose to exclude emojis from the ID_START and ID_CONTINUE character classes [1] (in terms of which so many programming languages define their concept of a valid identifer).

Emojis are essentially colored symbols in terms of Unicode general categories and many languages do not accept symbols in an identifier, so it's no surprise that emojis are handled equally.

UTR #31 does have a profile for identifiers with emoji (see the section 7.2), but it also demonstrates why it can't be a default: there are cases where `AB` is not valid but `ABC` is valid for some characters A, B and C. So character classes can't fully describe identifiers with emoji after all! (And in fact, many Unicode character classes were defined only for describing standard algorithms.) You need a full emoji regular expression to define such identifiers.

> [2] "The formal syntax provided here captures the general intent that an identifier consists of a string of characters beginning with a letter or an ideograph, and followed by any number of letters, ideographs, digits, or underscores"

(Emphases original)

Unicode has an unfortunate but particular definition of "ideograph", defined in the third sense of [1]. As a rule of thumb you should always mentally replace it with "Han character", which is not an ideogram (like numerals) but a logogram. This misnomer was too old to fix so Unicode decided to go with it.

It's just not true. My town of 80k population has one Supercharger center with 8 charging stations. The next nearest one is over 50 miles away. That's not at all practical for someone who can't charge at home.
Yes, and I wasn't trying to imply that it's an edge case for most people.

I do believe it's over-weighted for a lot of people though.
Is it? If I have serious on-going disagreements with my CEO's strategy and tactics to lead the company and I choose to take those disagreements public in a scorched earth style, I fully expect that I'd get sacked for it. And I think I should be (presumably with the typical severance for a other-than-cause termination).

I'm standing here thinking "yup, that's about right" and other posters are thinking this is "so not right as to be obviously corrupt".
Yeah the LEAF is not a road tripping vehicle.

In my experience (M3LR) you spend about 15-20 minutes charging every 2-3 hours. ABRP tells you how much time you spend charging, and otherwise assumes map drive time, which may not correspond to your “11 hours” depending on how aggressively you drive.

How much longer it takes also depends on how long you’d stop anyway — rarely go more than 2-3 hours without stopping anyway, even when we road tripped in our ICE.

A similar length trip (Sacramento to Seattle) takes 1h15m of charging for a 11h45m trip — about 10%. (23% seems high, but you may be making different assumptions, perhaps leaving with a low charge and having to arrive with a high charge.)
> In today's America if you're a man and never been arrested, you're not manly enough. Lol.

Because literally every company in existence would think that employees publicly airing their grievances about their employer on Twitter is strictly less of a problem than on the company's internal channels.

If you think people should be legally protected for anything they say publicly on Twitter, then you should also believe they should be legally protected for anything they say in company internal channels. Anything else is incoherent.

I took whatever the ABRP defaults were. I noticed it started at 90% SoC, but I didn't look at any of the other settings [nor change any]. I still have the M3LR tab open. It says 11h42m drive and 1h32m charge. From my experience in the LEAF, 85 mph highway cruising gives a substantial range penalty, which I'm assuming is baked into a sensible charging route planner.

Our ~11 hour actuals from this past trip were moving with a purpose, but not Cannonballing as a family of four in a 20 year old CR-V, averaging right around 70 mph door-to-door.
Key PostgreSQL Extensions Every Developer Must Know When Migrating from Oracle
I rent cars approximately all the time (I live on an island, so when I go anywhere, it's by air, and except for NYC, I always get a car wherever I go). Maybe 20 rentals/yr, a few years it was 50+ rentals.

Any of the big company "frequent renter" programs, like National Emerald Aisle/Executive, Hertz #1, etc., gives all the stuff you want. Usually I'm at airport locations (which do have extra taxes/fees), but it's "walk up to car, walk around one time just to make sure there's nothing obviously wrong, get in, adjust mirrors, configure usbc/carplay, stop at booth where they take my drivers license and credit card, drive off". With National I get my pick of any car on the lot (and with a corp discount code, usually around $30-40/day all-in).

The local branches suck a little more due to limited selection and lack of cannelized check out, but they're pretty close. Also way worse at most non-US locations (with the exception of big gateway airports).

I've returned cars and aside from one time where I drove over a concrete curb at CDG which I couldn't see (sigh, at the airport itself, returning the car), and had to pay for damages, it's always been painless. One time I returned a car where thieves at Stanford had broken the rear glass, and at SFO they just said "oh, another one", and checked a box on the return form; everything was handled via email after that.

There are also day-rate car rentals through Uber and some other programs like that where you use an app, find car, and drive off.

I would have no problem relying on rental for the last 5% of car needs (e.g. if I had a 2 seater or something, or didn't want to get snow tires to go into the mountains, etc. The "get to the rental location" is the biggest friction, and in true emergency cases where I absolutely need a car right then, which is why I usually rent for the whole trip.
This argument will convince approximately zero people. It only works on people who already agree that we are too car reliant. The vast majority of LA will not give up their car, and circling for a spot fucking sucks so they’ll use their political power to make sure they don’t have to.
No one wants to chase the low end market in the US. Even if the tech pans out it just means more work faster resource depletion given the infra isn't there yet, and less profits. And then you think well a hybrid would fill the void better anyways if you have to sacrifice range for cheaper EVs.
> A subscription for static content is a complete and total grift.

You're here so I'll charitably assume you've managed a web server ever.

There is no such thing as 'static'.
I've been wondering, is there a term for a type of attack like this:

Given a message M, length function L(), and MD5 hash function H(); is there an attack which can generate message M', such that H(M)==H(M') _and_ L(M)==L(M')?

In other words: Two different messages, both of the same length, with the same hash?

It's almost like a chosen prefix collision attack, but with no prefix (so P is empty) and a given message (M is known, M' is up to the attacker).

I ask because I frequently use GridFTP for data transfer, and it uses both the file length and the MD5 has to verify that files were transferred correctly.
I don't think it's all that sudden, he's had a steady stream of scandals for as long as I've been paying attention (years), and he's increasingly in the public eye because he is increasingly relevant (buying Twitter being one reason he's more relevant now than in the past). So there's an increasing public interest in reporting on his steady stream of controversial behavior.

The problem wasn't in the way the time was stored (integer representing tenths of seconds); it was in the conversion to float for the calculations being done. A 1/1000000 error margin is fine for small numbers (up to 30,000 seconds), but not for big ones (100,000 seconds) where being even a tenth of a second off causes the calculation to become unreliable.

Instant eye roll. The author is literally making up their own version of history when the facts aren't even on their side[0]. The author generalizes the entire US government into some strange type of groupthink where apparently everyone thought replacing ICE vehicles with EVs was a "slam dunk". It's not only factually incorrect but it's just piss poor writing.

Assault is a pretty broad thing, given all the enhancements that can be stacked onto it. There are at a minimum felony assault statutes for threats involving a weapon, threats involving specifically a firearm, threats involving protected characteristics, then there are the laundry list of ‘threats’ (often vaguely defined) against police, emergency personnel, government officials, etc all of which are typically felony charges in a majority of US states and federal jurisdictions.

In my experience dealing with convicted felons, depending on location, there is a real problem in securing interview with real people who have hiring authority who you can actually offer up the details which present your conviction in the best light and offer explanations and clarifications of said conviction.

OP may have just been broad in the description of the conviction to imply a conviction for something that did not actually involve violence, while keeping the extraneous details to a minimum. I think your admonishment to ‘not exaggerate’ was a bit unwarranted and certainly came across as condescending when written in text.

Also, the above is not legal advice.

The only item on your list that I would say is mostly gray area is insider trading - the rest are very much case dependent.

Gonna have a hell of a time proving the boss's tweets have anything to do with working conditions.
My guess: The most senior employees (C-suite and close to it) have special responsibilities and legally much great accountability. What a CEO of a public company says on public media (including Twitter/X) has far greater legal consequences for the company and the CEO than someone a few steps below. This is pretty normal for highly developed countries. Note: Responsibilities may change in different countries depending upon if the company is private or public.

It’s because they’re worse cars.
Seriously. Just give me a NORMAL car with a modern electric drivetrain and I’ll be happy. I have my 4Runner for longer trips and “electric grid down because Texas is a 3rd world island in a 1st world country” situations.

These electric cars are going for full gimmickry and just look like a giant long term ownership nightmare. Built to be disposable status symbols for your average American trying to appear wealthier than they are instead of practical vehicles for the mass market.
Those guarantees are also what makes the algorithm exploitable and inflexible to handle unknown or adversary workloads. Your LRU example suffers in scan / loop / zigzag patterns, which the author's policies do poorly at as well. They target CDNs workloads where that can be ignored there due to its scale, but that is not a generalizable assumption for other workloads where it more common like databases, search, and analytics.

If the algorithm is known and accepts user facing requests then it becomes a target. A client can use the network speed of a dialup modem to bring down a modern server simply by crafting a request pattern to exploit hash flooding. This is why you generally want some injected noise, adaptivity, and use an algorithm that offers robustly good hit rates. A specialized policy that is superior in a narrow set of workload is still very useful when targeted at an expensive problem, but that's a design assumption that few can reasonably make.
My theory is that edge cases are the really important cases and that's why people give it a pretty large weight. Plus vehicles that burn gasoline are "old and boring" techs that many HN users do agree with.
Maybe more people should own (short-range EV + private plane) instead of an ICE car :)
Delivery is a thing and the price tag may sting but it’d take a shitload of it to pay the price difference between a truck and a sedan. Plus the cost of worse gas mileage, pricier insurance, higher property taxes, and so on.
