> A company with 450 employees doesn’t need 2 CEOs.

A company running an online cycling/training world also doesn't need 450 employees. I've a feeling they were trying to grow the business into other areas to justify the billion dollar valuation.

As a daily user I'd rather they concentrated on their core and made a business out of it than reached for the stars and burn.
> have reliable sources (not mass media, especially not western mass media) telling me that the security law was championed by the Hong Kong government (Carrie Lam in particular)

Sure. This was in the open. That doesn't preclude Beijing's feet on the scales, which from everything I saw, in the open and with Trust Me Bros, what clear as day.

There were better ways to handle Hong Kong. Xi handled in a way that made sense for him. It cost China dearly in the medium term, and may prove to have been a geostrategic blunder in the long term.
Glad to hear it. All we do at Kanary is focus on exposure clean up. We've spent 4+ years refining how we find and match information to show accurate results vs a bunch of mismatched / irrelevant alerts.

We run a free trial & free version too so that it can be accessible for folks who want to run this type of clean up, have the time to DIY, and don't want to pay.

Yes, they are a DNS ad blocker. iCloud private relay is a tracking blocker, to hide your IP. Both are not compatible in general, unless the "IP tracking blocker" explicitly allows to configure nextDNS as a DNS server, which is not the case of private relay.

I guess nextDNS should list exceptions like private relay, but the list is long and it's confusing. For all intend and purposes I agree with the statement, they block ads on most devices.

They also have help articles specifically for VONs:

Seems doc about private relay is missing though...
Exactly Once is basically a solved problem. The CAP theorem says you can either get consistency or availability in a system that has network partitions.

If you give up consistency, you end up corrupting data every once in a while.

If you don’t, then you can have exactly once, but it might take a long time if there’s a network failure.

NFSv3 solved this back in the 1980’s. (V2 and V1 may have, but I don’t know.)

It did it without requiring deterministic execution or other programming language innovations, so I share your skepticism about rust and web assembly solving these problems.

(I really like rust, and recommend it for pretty much all new systems code. However, it is not a panacea.)
The (sad, maybe) truth is it won’t ever matter. If you’re buying these CPUs, you’re buying them in lots of 1k.
I think at the very least we can interpret the situation as car hits cyclist in a blind spot and the cyclist was not seriously injured. Sources say there were 49,000 vehicle-cyclist injuries and 846 fatalities [1] and there were 3.2 trillion vehicle miles traveled [2] in 2019. So my math comes to around .015 injuries and .00003 fatalities per 1 million vehicle miles traveled. Waymo’s traveled 20 millions miles by 2020, so more by now but Im not finding a more recent number. This is the first time I’ve heard of a Waymo-cyclist injury (maybe it’s not; I’m not able to google around this new headline) and would put their injury rate at .05 per million miles significantly higher than the other statistic but to get away with minor scratches is nonnegligible since it’s easy for injuries to be worse. At 20 million miles Waymos this rate doesn’t make them look good. I want to be optimistic about their injury rate getting better as they program around blind spots safer.

The Mind-Boggling Reach of Super Bowl Commercials: A Statistical Analysis
For 1 and 2 it's far from that. These are not first class supported things in PLs and can't be well hidden by libraries. Maybe an embedded DSL could do it in a language that supports them well, ala Electric Clojure...
The law is a complete stop in California, not a 3 second stop.

And yeah, anyone rolling through stop signs shouldn't be driving. In cities that actually enforce traffic laws, you can get your license suspended for it.
I'm not saying what anybody should do. I'm saying I'm surprised juries don't throw out more cases, given the latitude police have for lying during interrogations and the lack of repercussions for doing so under oath.
Incorporating manual vehicle operation into the driving test could significantly alter driving habits, a change I've personally experienced after learning to drive a manual as an adult. As GP notes, the desire to conserve energy and avoid stopping and then starting again is common among cyclists, and this principle applies to manual vehicles as well. Having been raised in the U.S., I understand the potential chaos of having no stop signs or traffic lights at busy four-way intersections. However, this system functions effectively in major cities globally, where drivers, perhaps more accustomed to manual vehicles, approach and navigate intersections with greater awareness and negotiation skills.

I believe that mandating manual driving lessons for all learners could foster improved driving behaviors and heightened road awareness. This approach could encourage drivers to be more attentive and considerate of other road users, enhancing overall safety and efficiency on the roads.
Congratulations, you've beaten Fourier Tetris.
I wonder if a human driver would have (for better or worse) swerved to avoid hitting the cyclist. That is, the Waymo might be programmed to only execute certain types of evasive maneuvers, whereas a human would instinctively do other things as well. Of course, if there were someone in the vehicle's blind spot, it's possible this would have resulted in a worse accident, since there would have been no time for a human driver to double check.
They will release the footage to the regulators, likely without having to be asked.

The regulators don't want the footage released to the general public any more than Waymo does—the last thing they need is a bunch of armchair traffic accident investigators telling them how to do their jobs.
To summarize the author, no one wants to invest in ammo plants because of upfront costs and economics of dealing with .gov

Author suggests applying a new manufacturing technology, 3d printing, to help alleviate a supply shortage, but then says new mfg tech probably wont work (I'm inferring that it will not work with the existing design).

I'm proposing an alternative - make a 3d printer friendly design (OK, it may not be as good as the legacy version) but you're able to build the munition in plants that can be repurposed as soon as the "peak demand" goes away.
Geopolitics: China's sudden shift to authoritarianism under the new emperor has everyone fleeing for the exits as the US and Europe abandon the project to bring China into the club.

No. This is simply because the US and other developed economics do not want competition from Chinese companies. Chinese companies are moving up in the value chain which is a threat economically to the US and allies. It's nothing new. It's the same playbook used on Japan.

“When governments permit counterfeiting or copying of American products, it is stealing our future, and it is no longer free trade.” So said US President Ronald Reagan, commenting on Japan.
Thare's a, probably not very obvious, situation when human could have no such accident in the same scenario. At all. Preventing an accident does not leave any trace. No one knows about the scenario if there's no accident.

How many similar (and others) accidents are being prevented by human drivers daily, and no one knows about them, at all? We just don't know.

That's why I take any stats of "human vs AI" driving with a grain of salt.
Using code as documentation to save time and share context
I mean, there’s going to be a detailed video of the entire incident right? A driverless car is like a super dashcam - so I look forward to seeing that.

> There's a difference between stop and slow down.

Yes, that's exactly my point!

Going 2mph through a stop sign is materially different from stopping at the line. When you stop, you can confirm that the intersection is clear (and that there are no pedestrians about to cross).

> It's also a minority of the time.

If you had to guess, what would you say is the median speed of cars across the lines at stop signs in SF?

> That said, I do see cyclists blowing through stop signs ALL THE TIME, often totally dangerously with other cars (including me) at the intersection with them.

I guess we drive in different parts of the city. I see this, but not often.

If something is worthwhile, it gets developed and gradually becomes cheaper.

If you were handed an internal combustion engine car without petrol, it would be extremely expensive to get that fuel for the first time.

That even happened with satellites!
Part of it is also that, while it does seem to help, it doesn't really have a major role in your body, and you can live a very happy and healthy life without an appendix. So, compared to virtually every other organ a regular person would know by name, saying "it doesn't have a role" is a quite good approximation. Even tonsils have a better defined and more measurable role.

Was there a passenger in the Waymo? I wonder if the vehicle is programmed to take that into account when hitting the brakes or engaging in other unexpected maneuvers. Does the vehicle consider whether a potential victim appears to be breaking the law? That is, would it not brake/swerve as harshly (potentially injuring an occupant) if the thing it is trying to avoid is breaking the law (not that I am saying that's what's happening here — I'm just setting up the hypothetical where there is a blameless passenger and a potential collision with another vehicle that is at fault).
How old is the Taycan?
Less than a decade.

How old is the Model S?
More than a decade.

Which one managed to fix the icon problem? The Model S.

What did Porsche do about this "safety problem"? Nothing.

What did the media suggest? That Teslas are unsafe.

Why did I spam the comment section? Because I want more people to see an objective comparison instead of just the sensationalism of these articles.

Why am I shilling for Tesla? Because I think it is a good company.

Explain not being forced -- I think you understand. They could have filed that petition like all the others. Conclude that it doesn't pose risk and just not fix it. (Btw I think the old icons were better.)

Regarding the old vs. new tech analogy -- exactly! Tesla can (and does) remotely make their cars safer. And not just icons but crash safety as well (see the linked video). This is a huge safety benefit.

I think only Tesla and BYD have the level of vertical integration that makes it possible to improve the drive/crash characteristics over the air. Others rely too much on suppliers. Car manufacturers usually don't have access to the proprietary firmware running on parts that they get from suppliers.

"site:bloomberg.com china"

Bloomberg is just an outlet for anti-China propaganda these days. There is no objectivity.
Yes, even for "western nations in the aftermath of WW2" we can look at Spain and Portugal with Franco and Salazar as counterexamples, as well as some post-war leaders in e.g. USA and UK.
I don't agree with most laws that impose absolutes. The courts exist to deal with grey areas.

A large number of pedestrians struck by cars each year (at least in North America), are themselves intoxicated, and not fit to walk along roadways. There are many cases where the driver should not reasonably be at fault for a pedestrians erratic behavior.

There's also the "hit-to-kill" phenomenon in China, where it can be financially devastating to leave a person living with significant injuries, but affordable if you had simply killed them (50K USD vs 1M over a lifetime). In extremely sad circumstances, this has motivated people to hit the victim multiple times.
Yeah, I'm not aware of anyone offhand who's making big money off shorts. A couple creators I follow have discussed attempting to use them to bring new viewers into their channels, but apparently the conversion rate from shorts viewers to subscribers-who-watch-full-length-videos is bad.

It's still better than $0, but then it costs money/time to make and upload good quality shorts that you could spend on full length videos instead.

Because shorts are well, short, they can't run ads on them the same way they do for full length videos, which apparently hurts the revenue potential.
There have been a lot of trials of UBI now and the evidence is very strong that… it doesn't affect employment much either way. So it doesn't make people lazy, but it's probably a disappointment to people who don't believe in work.

In the end, positional wealth matters about as much as absolute wealth, so people still want to work even if they can already pay for food.
Ask HN: Keeping Up with Medical Developments
What resources would you use to keep with the latest in medicine?

In tech, when there's a new framework, study, breakthrough, people come here. They discuss it, appreciate it, poke holes, etc. I'm interested in medical developments, especially preventative health. How would you, and how could I, keep up with the latest?
I don't think that's right. TSMC will not change their corporate style and management style to what American engineers are used to. We won't work for less wages than competitors while also working 25-30% more. There is absolutely no reason they can't build fabs in the USA, sure it's not as easy as in Taiwan, but that because they are brittle about how to get it done. There's also the rather positive fact that the USA isn't out to end their civilization and way of life.
They haven't started enforcing it because you can only issue warnings if people park close to the crosswalk until next year - specifically because most drivers don't know about the law.

And the law actually states that local authorities can come up with their own distance rules instead.
Many employers do - we work with plenty of teams and even have specific guidance for how members can ask their HR or Security lead to sponsor a membership.

> AutoCAD is a transformative product

It really was. It replaced manual drafting. Drawing revision before AutoCAD involved maintaining a master drawing and updating it manually with pencils and erasers. Final drawings were inked in. Copies were made by running master drawings through a blueprint machine. When there were too many revisions, someone had to redraw the drawing by hand, and the copy had to be checked by hand by a checker.

There were CAD systems before AutoCAD, but they either required a more expensive computer than an PC, or they couldn't handle a drawing too big for memory. The big innovation in AutoCAD is that it had a paging system for working on drawings too big for the machine. The code was paged in and out in segments. The drawing was paged in and out in sections.

(I did some of the early AutoCAD ports to non-IBM PCs. Compatibility hadn't been established yet. Everything needed a driver. AutoCAD had "more drivers than Yellow Cab" at one point.)

In a recent accident that happened in my country, a human driver swerved to avoid a cyclist that was quickly switching lanes without signaling in order to cross from one side to another. The swerving car went over the sidewalk and killed a pedestrian. You should draw your own conclusions.
Considering:

> annoying

Vs

excess CO2 from engines (does not matter if electric or not, as efficiency is still a thing to consider) after a full stop,

would it make more sense to make cyclists to yield always and not cars?
I'm surprised that nearly all the comments here act as though there are only two parties involved and one of those parties is 'at fault'. I'll throw this out there: Cyclists, drivers, pedestrians and everything in-between (which is a growing category) have to co-exist and the streets of SF don't make that easy in many (most?) places. Where is the discussion about how to better design SF streets to make it all work better and safer? I'll start. I think we need to shut down more streets to make them pedestrian/bike/e-bike/etc friendly and limit where cars can go during most hours. If thee are more car free pathways then these situations won't be possible. These are probably fighting words depending on if you are a cyclist or not. Full disclosure, I used to commute via the wiggle.
Subaru Outback 2019 parasitic drain/DCM
I went through three new batteries since August (it’s February now), the first bought from AAA. After going to a drive-in movie double feature with the radio on my car went dead again. I got a jump and drove it home. The next morning the battery was dead again. I got AAA to replace my first battery with a second new one. Left the car for the weekend but by Monday the battery was dead again. I got a AAA jump start and went to my local automotive shop where I’ve gone for almost 25 years. I had them do a parasitic drain test and learned my previous new battery was “junk” and that’s why they sold me a new battery with a 5-year warranty. The diagnostic for a parasitic drain found nothing. My brother, who really understands cars, was irritated on my behalf that my car had had three batteries replaced over about 4 months. My brother found thousands of driver complaints about their batteries going dead. I called Subaru of America and told them my brother had diagnosed a problem of the DCM, connected to Starlink. As I understand it, Starlink is trying to connect to the old 3G network when the world has moved on to 5G.Anyway, talked to SOA and got a case number and validation that it might be the DCM. I next took it to a good Subaru dealership who did the diagnostic and gave me an estimate of about $981. I called in the info to SOA, and relayed all that the dealer had told me. A day later I got an email saying that although my car was out of warranty, as a good will gesture they would okay getting the repair done, free of charge. A few days later, after some ordered parts arrived, my car was repaired and the to me was zero. While I waited for a repair the dealer pulled out a fuse that makes Starlink go off. It also made only my back speakers work and I lost Bluetooth, too. But it’s worth being inconvenienced for a few days when you know your battery is going to work again until the new aDCM was put in, and the whole car returned to normal.
I also don't entirely understand how directed energy stuff can work against things that aren't just going on a ballistic trajectory like hypersonics. You need to nail that target for an extended period of time. And it's safe to say that if these things ever taken off then the countless sorts of passable protection (multiple layers of thick highly reflective surfaces for instance) would end up being applied to important weapons, meaning you need to hit them for even longer. And these sort of defenses could be done for quite cheap and a very low weight.

And then like you said, the engagement range is also going to be quite short - meaning all of this becomes just that exponentially more difficult.

I got a Volkswagen with front assist and adaptive cruise control. I use it mainly for long runs with little traffic, that way my foot doesn’t get cramped for staying at the same position.

When crossing under some bridges, sometimes it decelerates and warns me of a collision, even if there is no one there. I have to override it by stepping on the gas pedal until I’m through.

I’ve also felt it hiccup on a test strip where they were testing radars, I was guessing it was due to them using similar frequencies, but I’m not sure on that one.
AFAIK Erlang and Elixir have a way to save the state just before the process is stopped. It should be the `trap_exit` flag on a gen_server that guarantees that the exit message will be managed. In that handler you can save all your state and resume it when the process restarts.
I don't hate cyclists, I've used a bike as a primary form of transport for much of my life.

But especially in the US, dangerous behavior from cyclists seems to be proportionally much more common than dangerous behavior by Waymos. So yeah, it's easy to believe that a cyclist just kind of blew the stop sign when they shouldn't have.
US China relations continue to deteriorate because of China’s aggression in the South China Sea and continued decoupling aka de-risking.

Russia is cut off from the developed Western economy. Some NATO commanders are also warning that Russia will not stop at Ukraine.

Even if Russia and China weren’t on a war path, the US simply cannot continue to subsidize global defense of trade via our navy. Currently, only the UK and Japan have a sizable fleet of long range ships, but they still don’t compare to the US navy.

Yes, globalism is still here, but the trend is that it will be on a major decline in the coming years. Destabilizing geopolitics will only hasten it.
