It’s also been a long time since the Trustbusting times of Theodore Roosevelt and the Great Depression reforms have largely been repealed. Congress absolutely could act if the political will was reflected at the ballot box.

Elsewhere it’s been noted these scores don’t line up with how much is actually being purchased by people. There’s something else going on than just economics.

Otherwise, I deeply suffered from the Great Recession. Couldn’t find meaningful work for many years. This despite being well educated and qualified. I think we can agree these days are not those days: RE was cheaper. Food was cheaper. There just wasn’t enough demand for labor to employ people and thus fund demand. Trillions in RE “value” had to be marked to market and lost value. Trillions in debt were no longer ever going to be realized. Huge companies were facing bankruptcy and filed bankruptcy. At least one automaker had a sitting POTUS as its CEO for a while.

Nowadays, people do seem to be employed but prices have risen. We also have an ever growing war in one of the most important breadbaskets of the world. We knew that was going to raise global food prices.
>> Here's what I'd like: an electrical car ... A minimalist car that is so simple anyone can afford it.

Not possible with today's safety rules. You mentioned this in passing but dismissed it without understating. You can argue it's not needed (and some probably are not needed), but this is just yelling into the wind.

Also, as Engineers we know that cost is related not just to simplicity but scale. Your dream car will never be at the cost you or like minded people will buy because it may be simple and featureless, but it will be expensive.

The electric car you're asking for will never exist unless you build it yourself or manage to import from a country with lax laws.
I’ll just not worry myself over seemingly insane hypotheticals, lest I continue looking stupid, thank you.
Agree with #1. Number #2 should be qualified: Good for Wall St and Boeing execs, at the expense of everyone else.

Then State House Rep Reuven Carlyle was the point person for negotiating WA state's $11.4b (?) tax breaks for Boeing. With non-binding terms like agreeing to create jobs. Boeing's negotiators completely lost their shit when Carlyle tried to add good government amendments like transparency (to the public) about the actual monetary value of tax breaks.

Similar to the US Sen Al Franken's inside baseball version of wrestling with corporations over the mergers of telecoms & cables. The corps demanded all, conceded nothing, had no intention of honoring their promises, completely lost their minds when Franken tried to get future promises in writing.

The USA is a Corporatocracy. Partisanship, culture wars, moral panics, food fights, etc. all serve to obscure that central fact.

So you suggest transferring a trit using 3 wires. Wires for data transfer already take up a tremendous amount of space in a lot of CMOS logic.

The primary point of CML is that a differential signal is interference resistant. Therefore it can be used for higher data rates in out-of-chip buses. It does not provider faster ALUs than CMOS.
I literally gave up on having a mailbox because of physical mail spam. I realized that they don't deliver mass mail to business addresses, and so I took down my mailbox and now just have all my mail sent to my work address. I've been doing it for ten years now, and it works, but it does lead to weirdness occasionally.

Most often I encounter people who actually get angry at me for not having a mailbox, call me selfish, call me the unibomber, tell me it is illegal. I still cannot figure out why people get emotionally charged about it.

A short while after I did it, the USPS reported to HUD that my address was vacant, and HUD reported that to the bank that holds my mortgage. This of course freaked them out until I explained to them what was going on.

I was also unable to take advantage of the free Covid test kits that the Federal government said were available to "every family in America". Turns out it was really every family in America with a residential mailbox. Ok, that was my choice, but there *are* still rural communities that rely on general delivery at the post office rather than individual mailboxes.

I do occasionally hit companies who's web app will tell me my address isn't good because it is a business address instead of a residential address. They are few enough though that I can just not do business with them and it hasn't impacted me much.

Don't think so. It's not always running.

What else is there to reveal? That I changed my mind and swapped the QPC for a Big Mac in my cart at the last second?

Apps are sandboxed. I literally can't guess what you think the app is supposedly tracking besides my orders.
Btw. my main intention was to show how naive hospitality can be exploited by a malicious actor. Your reaction is as smart as calling a person who shows vulnerabilities in the software a hacker.
>2001 Tundra V8 owner here, and you're just flat out wrong.

That's not even considered a "car".
I've been driving an e-Up for the last two years and am happy with it. It's a small car, just 240 km in the summer and 180 km in the winter though.

The battery pack is not temperature-controlled so it gets hot in long trips, and recharging becomes excruciatingly slow. Then again, it was not designed for long trips.

The new Citroen e-C3 is a modern, cheap(ish) car with a similar concept: optional touchscreen and many physical controls.
Do we get used to animal gore though? Do you know why there are legal time limits on how long you can work at an abbatoir? Its because anyone who works there for more than ~3 years tends to become a serial killer. We're used to seeing meat because its out of the context of a slaughtered animal., in the same way that a mortician is used to seeing corpses in caskets, but would freak out if there was one in their shed. If people had to kill their own cows, I imagine vegetarianism would take off.

Why would I need to specify something you brought up? "OH NOES comparing HN to Reddit violates "policy.""

Is "aggressive griping about" better? People usually simplify that to "mad about".

> One of them has gone through and downvoted all my posts now

Almost every post you made inside that 24 hour downvote window deserves it, so depending on how literal that "all" is, they're probably helping and not a bad actor.
Toyotas are pretty good in that regard (we've owned several). However, my wife now owns a VW ID.4, and it is the worst car UI/UX I've ever experienced. Likely the author was thinking of Teslas, which is the worst example of this, but I don't think this is strictly an EV thing, as my EV6 is very practical with physical controls, despite having the typical large touchscreen (for setting, infotainment, navigation, etc)
For 30 years I suffered from terrible dishwashers, but then I moved into a house which has a Miele. It's like night and day.
We might have different ovens but I don't see why mine would burn down my house when left on during vacations, but not when baking things for several hours.

Once warm, it doesn't just get hotter and hotter, it keeps the temp I asked for.
For people who understand the language, there is little point to naming it. For illustrating to people unfamiliar with the language, it helps to break apart the "this is the thing I'm talking about" part from the "here's how you would use it" part.
I used to think that inequality explained everything, but perhaps I've grown up a bit and now I think it just explains most things. I attended a lecture by Robert Sapolsky some years ago and he was quite big on studying stress responses in primates. One thing he said that stuck with me was that in highly unequal primate societies, they measured higher cortisol levels amongst all members; even those at the top. Certainly it seems that the pathologies of American society have only intensified along with wealth inequality, but obviously teasing out cause and effect is fiendishly difficult at such scale.
> cars are better in every way now than they were before (From a driving, efficiency, reliability and safety perspective).

What about safety of people outside the cars? By this metric I believe they are getting worse.

Layers are a mechanism for de-duplicated storage, as well as incremental distribution, builds, scanning, and more. This is related to OCI being a full ecosystem of integrated solutions. Layers provide value across several concerns in OCI. In contrast, systemd-nspawn does not attempt address any of these aspects, and does not even have the same concept of a container image (just a disk image). systemd-nspawn is a single tool that does one thing well, which is not a bad thing, but also means it requires many other pieces to provide the same functionality as one would get with a typical set of OCI-compatible tools.

I will add that layers are an imperfect solution, but they are, IMO, simple and practical, and have provided value in a way that is relatively unobtrustive. In other words, many people have gained value from layers without having to think much about them.
Network I/O is almost always the slowest part of any application regardless of the protocol and data encoding mechanism.

Cloudflare is just dumb, they block XHR requests randomly in the same session they’ve already challenged breaking websites in not quite obvious ways and have been doing that for as long as I can remember. Trying to do anything on for example Montana's SOS BIZ portal takes a lot of patience. They’re like TSA of the Internet but at least with TSA you can pay for a fast pass.
> I miss my 2005 Toyota Corolla

This begs the question, why did you get rid of that?

I bought Toyota Matrix new in 2006, still driving it. From what I can tell, keeping it running is still more environmentally friendly than replacing it with a new car, even if that car is electric/hybrid.

Has no smart anything. Hardly ever breaks. Probably good for another 150k miles, and at this rate it'll be another decade or two by then and all the current car garbage will be worked out or legislated around.

It’s because LNG ships are cannibals.

Due to the nature of LNG storage, a small amount of the gas “boils off” every day (fraction of a %). The longer a voyage, the more cargo is lost. So LNG carriers are incentivised to deliver cargo as quickly as possible so they can maximise the delivered value of the goods.

(Fortunately because these ships themselves are LNG powered, they are designed to recapture this boiled off fuel to operate the vessel)
I've had the same experience - I spent 6 months last year really digging into Rust and came to the conclusion that for the software I'm writing it's trying to save me from problems that I just don't run into enough to make it worth it.

I ended up jumping over to Zig and have been really enjoying it. I ported the same hobby 2D game engine project from C++ to Rust, and then over to Zig. A simple tile map loader and renderer took me about a week to implement in Rust and 3 hours in Zig. The difference was a single memory bug that took 15 minutes to figure out.
But no one can agree on what's good, let alone what's evil.
> 1330 megajoules of energy

Which would be about 370 kWh, at 8% efficiency at best that would be 30kWh, or about a kWh a year. The average phone uses about 2 kWh per year, so 2 grams + a suitably sized battery for spike draws could potentially hack it.

Of course the suggested smartphone use case is probably the single worst possible application for these things. We literally carry them on ourselves constantly, trash them every few years at most and usually keep them within range of a power outlet. Outer solar system cubesats, underwater gliders, arctic weather stations, etc. may be better ideas. Places where solar isn't viable.
I mean, this is seriously moving the goalpost, but let's play along.

I tear off the Scooby-Doo mask, and the person is now exposed as being a different person.

You hunt me down (somehow? magically? nothing in PK infrastructure allows this, but let's say you do it) and I say "yes, that's my PK, and yes, I signed that" but how can you then verify I didn't take it from chatGPT and sign it?
Pretty much but not the US directly its the US hiring Mercs in the form of Ukrainian proxies recently and in the near past it was Isis and co in the middle east to attack Iran and China's belt and road plans.
// Did anyone ask; "would you _like_ a bigger car?"?

No, this is a real problem :( I wanted to buy a Corolla but the dealer tickle tortured me until I gave in and said “fine I’ll buy the Highlander”

I still shudder to think about it every time I easily fit my wife, kids and the stuff into the car for a road trip.

Kidding aside “do you want this?” is a question the market asks of consumer. Bigger cars still cost more to buy and run than compacts. People are willing to pay more because clearly enough of us want these bigger cars.
> How are they preventing it? Physically holding the doors closed?

Looks like that does happen. No? Or just pushing university administrations to cancel speakers they just approved.

> But people want only the positive results of broadcasting their political views and none of the negative. <...> But then why should that person be completely sheltered from any negative consequences of trying to affect that change.

In a democracy, people decide on political views by voting. As long as people keep their views to themselves and don't harass coworkers, why would we care what views they hold? Unless the person in question starts calling for physical abuse etc. But then it's a police matter, not lynching crowds.

That specific case is very wrong in many cases. Dude basically caved in and got out of politics. Yet his political enemies carried on. What's the lesson? If you ever say something contraversial, the only way is to double-down, because you'll be hunted forever? Is voicing a contraversial opinion in one's youth worse than doing heavy crimes? Since ex-prisoners re-integration is quite a big thing.

I don't understand the point. Make people scared to step out of line? Create whole underclass of people who have nothing to loose for the rest of their lives? Both options are straight out of USSR playbook.

> The fact is that social pressure is generally what keeps us from falling into barbarism. Can it be abused? Sure. Anything can be abused. Even what you're suggesting can and is being abused.

Today's social pressure is used for barbarism. And it's so twisted that it's not only not stopping good thing, but even pushing wrong things. E.g. we had LGBT protest. Some people held a counter-protest. Then one famous LGBT dude went to counter-protesters, forced himself onto one of the main counter-protesters and kissed him. Sexual assault in public right there. Yet many shitheads went on to proclaim how cool this is. And LGBT dude didn't get into any legal problems. Wonder what would happen if a counter-protester would do the same to some girl on the other side. Somehow I really doubt the consequences would be the same :) Sort of like black vs White capitalisation BS.

My Bosch dishwasher has been excellent. It wasn’t cheap but it does a great job and is dead silent (can barely hear it sitting in the open concept living room just a few feet from the kitchen).

The only problem is that for whatever reason the power boxes required to wire them up for hardwired setups are bad and have a tendency to melt, as you’ll find reports of online. I’ve had this happen once already and intend to have an electrician convert my hardwire into an outlet so I can plug it in with a regular cord and not need the box.
Smartphones are a thing outside of US as well. Doesn’t track, given in EU/Japan and etc. traffic accidents haven’t increased in similar rates.
I can. If I had to, I would. I prefer my SUV as do millions of others. I am answering the question of “why are cars larger” not claiming you can’t make do w something else.
Haven't driven in the suburbs and beyond, I'm guessing. A lot of places a PU is more common than, um, a "car". Most quite a bit bigger than my Tundra, too.
Getting rid of seatbelts and emissions standards doesn't make cars cheaper, it just externalizes the costs from the purchaser onto the rest of us in the forms of increased death rates, higher hospital bills, environmental devastation, reduced IQs, and higher prevalence of respiratory conditions. I am begging the "deregulation" crowd to understand the concept of negative externalities and why markets don't work if societal incentives aren't properly aligned.
There’s absolutely nothing new about a binary that can be run in a number of different roles depending on configuration (either statically configured or assigned by some controller process).

For example, FoundationDB does exactly this (via dynamic assignment), as do many other databases. All of the HashiCorp runtime tools also do it. I’m sure there are also much earlier examples.
I don't think 10% would even come close. People are barely having kids yet alone 3 kids. Most of the land tanks i see at daycare / school are for 1 kid and sometimes two. Granted, they have as much luxury as an international flight with TVs, charger ports, personal air, snacks and all the rest.
My LG C1 definitely has ads, which show up as toast notifications when you open the TV. I think I once got an ad for Google Stadia for example. That being said, it seems to very rarely show them. I think I can count the number of times I see one in a year with my fingers.

As for the smart TV side, I have no idea if there's ads there since I basically only ever use my Apple TV.

There are people who do not have enough suitable space for both a washer and a dryer.

I am one of them, so I am happy to use a combined washer and dryer.

The only place where I can put the washer and dryer is in a bathroom. Separate washer and dryer would make it unacceptably crowded.
Without taking away from the overall project and work that’s gone into it, the UI reminds me unpleasantly of the darkest days of Lotus Notes: things aren’t quite where they should be and they don’t look entirely baked when I find them.

I hate to tell you, but they already know your location because they know you picked up your food at that McDonald's. They don't need the app for that.

The app isn't tracking your location except between ordering your food and picking it up. As discussed elsewhere in this thread, your Location privacy settings in iOS ensure that.
> culture = team capabilities + team aspirations.

wat? no. That article describes one very specific culture defined by one person, and one that is forced onto a team via top-down leadership, not one that develops naturally. Sure, if that specific culture is the one desired by that leader, it is a culture.

But culture is not that formula. Culture is the collection of actions, thoughts, and behaviors shared by a group. If this author believe they have found a culture that works, fine - I happen to think this article describes a toxic autocratic environment, but that disagreement is kind of the point -- there are different cultures that appeal to different people. It is not a one-size-fits-all thing.
Yeah - I think that their argument would be that their approach enables you to do that, and that there are significant gains on the table without that last step.

My main critique is that it's one example, and it would be good to see the technique exercised across a number so that we can see the strengths and weaknesses.
I live in a suburb. I just don't live in an American one.
To my approach to dynamic programming, memoization is step 2 of 3.

1- find a recursive algorithm

2- memoization

3- make it iterative / bottom-up

3b- if possible, optimize for space

Step 3 is the most characteristic part of dynamic programming, but if you stopped at step 2, it would still qualify, I think, but it would not be as efficient as it could be.

Another way to think of step 3 would be: memoization is about caching, is there a way to pre-fill the cache?

In the US the congress has largely been stopped for a long time from doing any real checking on these things. Minimum wage could be increased. There’s investigations going into rental price fixing through industry wide software usage. Local, city, regional, up to national governments could but blockades up against corporate ownership of residential properties. But democracy has to work first.

As for cars, there is new manufacturing being added to the industry. Further, prices are slower to fall than to rise. In the real estate market it’s the slow trickle of homes selling due to factors forcing them to sell which will push prices down.

And grocery prices are possibly a combination of corporate power concentration (see above about democracy needing to work) and an invasion destroying one of the world’s most important breadbaskets (Ukraine).
I've been using ISDN in Italy in the late 90's at home and it was great... Many didn't know its potential, but even the fact I could use a router that connected to both lines and automatically dropped one once a call was mad or coming, made my life way better...
