Tesla has many faults to it. Poor materials, lack of general reliability (door handles getting stuck, spoilers getting stuck up), NVH issues, and so on. Many people don't really care that much about those issues though, as long as the core use of the car to get from point a to b is there, and being able to top up at home is convenient, and maintenance costs are way lower.
The increase in temperature is just one of the issues. It has probably been mainly publicized as it's an easy "key performance indicator" to get the point across/that can be succinctly referred to. Sea level rise, ocean acidification, global weather pattern shifts, etc. are all also major problems.

I knew that Patreon would bite them some day. Any time money comes into a "offensive" open source project, whoever feels they are getting hurt can make a claim a lot easier. Somewhat surprised they haven't yet sued Ryujinx (the other Switch emulator project) for also having a Patreon.

When it costs less to spend a years worth of salary building it vs. paying for it.

At a company, we would stick a team of up to 3 devs + manager on an internal product to replace or create something we wanted but didn't want to pay for. That cost is R&D (so taxed differently -- ammortized) so it would often be magnitudes in less cost than paying for a product, unless the product did something we conceivably couldn't build or only a small number of users would be using (such as on-premises BI tools).
With US troops it's always a concern what they're going to get up to on their off time. The US generally will not let its troops be prosecuted under local jurisdictions which sometimes creates very messy situations.
Lobbying is allowing people and interest groups to make their views known directly to lawmakers.

This is democracy and free society in action, indeed. As long as it is transparent there is nothing not to "like".

That's why this ban in Amazon lobbyists is actually bad news but not surprising if you've been following how the EU has been evolving.
Rushing to create laws due to outrage is the worst thing for small players. The big players will find the loopholes quickly and the smaller players in the sector feel the hurt of regulation.
I have been working on a privacy-first managed WordPress hosting company for a while now; maybe I should speed things up.
1. This doesn't seem like a rational thing to do. A trillion dollar business built on people making mistakes and actually running up a bill? Which exec is getting a bonus when little Johnny gets hit with a $1000 charge on his CS101 project? Doesn't seem likely.

2. To me, it's more likely they don't have one because there are edge cases to consider that make "hard limits" difficult to implement. What is AWS supposed to do when you hit the limit? Is it a hard limit? Ok, so when I hit my budget, all my s3 buckets get deleted and all my EBS drives get dropped? Do all my code deployments just get deleted? Do you "bless" certain services so that they continue to charge the user even after the hard limit? How is all of this communicated?

You can set an alarm in AWS today and the user can decide what to shut off. If you really need to, you can create a script that can hard nuke your account once a limit is reached; but I don't see why AWS should nuke your account for you.
I do something similar, but with photos. I have a 4k display on the wall with a rpi/python script that picks photos from today +/- 15 days for all years, then makes collages to display, 1 per minute. So the photos are from the same time of year, but for years past, and every day new photos cycle in and out. Another neat way to stir up memories of old, if you have a pile of photos around.
I'm curious why you think that? Certainly "use your faster computer" is more impactful, but I definitely feel things are a bit faster with native enabled.
> It's potentially misleading, but I don't think it's intentionally dishonest.

That’s my interpretation as well.

The usage of the term “add-on” is not clear here in my opinion. On their main pricing page[1], Netlify currently lists “Additional bandwidth” as “Add-on”. To me, that sounds like “I can actively order additional bandwidth in case the included bandwidth isn’t enough.” Not: “Additional bandwidth is automatically allocated and charged for as it happens to occur.”

In addition to that, there is a big bold “$0” at the top of the “Starter” plan.

Oh, to be quite honest, I loved trolling my high school teachers with "your explanation fails, here is a real world airfoil, please explain it" and I would draw a symmetrical airfoil or - for extra trolling - a trapezoid one. (At that point I had already flown solo)

But the same I found myself unable to pass by someone pushing "flat plane at an angle".
It's in the default package manager as extremetuxracer which is the fork that's still maintained.
Minecraft (Java Edition) is probably the most notable game like this. It’s continued to be the same game with few engine changes/rewrites from the single dev basement project up until the present day dedicated sub company in Microsoft.
Looks like a fast embeddable functional lang for doing math or dsp. Cool!
It's amazing how the article did such an incredible job building a deep understanding of how the airfoil works, yet you managed to completely miss that and find something to so small to critique.
230 isn't a loophole, it's a requirement for any business on the web. You cannot even have product reviews without something like 230.
I can't give examples (I did the work for a company so I don't own it) but starting at [0] [1] should get you to the internals. It definitely carries some risk of Firefox Nightly just randomly breaking when it updates but this solution got us beyond quite a number of bot detectors so if you're willing to risk Firefox Nightly it's possible. We didn't need nearly the flexibility something like Puppeteer has since we were injecting rrweb into the target page to record the DOM mutations and sending those to other clients.

That will give you a good start on where to even begin looking. web-ext is insanely handy for launching Firefox with a WebExtension already installed (but I did a lot of other work around this to productize the offering).

This is a pretty big case to watch.

Are there any cases of emulators being sued successfully?

A user being able to provide keys and a rom from which they could own or be homebrew doesn't seem to violate copyright to me.

edit: seems the consensus is once via legal fund attrition, but the case went to the emulator authors in the end.
Many of these are matter of familiarity though than missing functionality.

I thought they made it very clear and talked at length that the shape isn't the key important factor. They do also then go on to talk about the benefits of different shapes and why they are chosen.
Because parents didn't want to buy an entire flagship smartphone just for their 6yo to listen to music on the schoolbus. But they were okay with buying them an iPod.

iPods were just mid-tier consumer-electronics expensive; which, back in ~2005, was nowhere near entry-level smartphone expensive, let alone flagship smartphone expensive.

Then, after the iPhone started getting rev after rev, Apple's "lean manufacturing" cost-optimizations gradually led to "an iPod" just becoming a particular assemblage of reused old iPhone parts, optimized for manufacturing cost and battery life. All the other iPods died out, leaving only the iPod Touch, there to consume old iPhone parts off the line.

Around six years after that, "a commodity Android phone" became as cheap as an iPod Touch. At that point, the Touch continued to exist mostly due to brand value, and its ability to run iOS games (still a specific / "better" market than Android games, back then), without having to pay for an iPhone to do that.

It's only in the last five years that it began to make economic sense to just get your 6yo who wanted to play iOS games an old iPhone rather than a "new" iPod Touch. It was at the exact moment that happened, that Apple finally killed the iPod Touch.

> then committing 10 of them to move to a foreign country to immerse myself in a new language feels very different than when I've got 60 years left

Could you elaborate on that?
As someone who is younger I have noticed that many (but by no means all) people over 60 often do not want to commit to these kind of 'life-changing' escapades, despite now having the time (kids out of the house and/or retired).
I assumed it was more around lack of (youthful) energy/health and the fact that you're so used to how you've lived for decades that change is far more difficult or feels more daunting.

You're saying that having a relatively shorter amount of 'time left' makes such a move different, wouldn't that fact make it easier? (YOLO and so on...)
They're native here. I've been trying to get some trees going for a few years. So far, my trees have been slow to grow and I've lost most of what I planted.

I've planted a half dozen clones from a few different trees back in 2021, and one or two of those has survived. Last year, I planted a few seedlings.

They need shade when they're young. Some say they're good after two years and some say you need to let them get to be a certain size before you give them full sun.

I changed from wire tomato cages and old sheets to tree wraps and stakes and the trees seem to have fared fine.
Can you specify where you think they're chasing their competitors? I ask because it seems to me that's how they've always operated.

There were other computers before the Mac, MP3 players before the iPod, cell phones before the iPhone, tablets before the iPad. They're known for moving into a market segment with their own take on the product.

Exactly, I was pretty highly paid for the UK market so I was worried that I’d go through the whole process and then they’d present a total comp that was not a significant upgrade.

As the OP says in the article, I was also worried there was no clarity on what level I’d actually be, so I was worried they’d try to demote the role to M0 which on levels.fyi is lower than my comp was.
Looking over the legal document, realistically, their arguments are so damaging from a software perspective that they should lose. IANAL, but from skimming the legal document:

The two major notions are that Yuzu violates Nintendo's copyright [1] by allowing people to play unauthorized copies [2]. In order to do so it allows for bypassing Nintendo's encryption (by taking in the keys, it does not embed the keys in the software) it falls under a violation of the DMCA [3]. Essentially, trying to argue that the keys are copyrighted. Additionally, they claim that every user that has either dumped Nintendo games they lawfully owned and play in Yuzu, or have pirated the roms and played in Yuzu have violated copyright and thus Yuzu should pay up [4].

[1] "In effect, Yuzu turns general computing devices into tools for
massive intellectual property infringement of Nintendo and others’ copyrighted work"

[2] "In other words, without Yuzu’s decryption of Nintendo’s
encryption, unauthorized copies of games could not be played on PCs or Android devices. "

[3] "Recognizing the threats faced by copyright owners like Nintendo in the age of digital piracy, Congress enacted the Anti-Circumvention and Anti-Trafficking provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), making it illegal to circumvent or traffic in devices that circumvent technological measures put into place by copyright owners to protect against unlawful access to and copying of copyrighted works."

[4] "On information and belief, Yuzu users have (1) dumped Nintendo games they
have lawfully purchased and copied the game ROMs into Yuzu; and (2) obtained Nintendo games online from pirate websites and copied those game ROMs into Yuzu. Each such reproduction constitutes a violation of 17 U.S.C. § 501(a) for which Plaintiff is entitled to damages under 17 U.S.C. § 504 and injunctive relief under § 502"
Hell even the most recent Apple Watch does some Siri commands, including voice to text, on device. Apple is certainly pushing low power on device processing with their own custom chips (S9 on the watch I believe).
Apple cars would aim more for the (1) bracket than the (3). Apple products are status items. Same particular utility can be had much cheaper.
I am not part of that scene, but I am sympathetic to emulation. Is there a notable difference between Yuzu and other switch emulators? I wonder if there are other reasons than Patreon ( money changing hands ) or there were other considerations?
Same here… HN doing what it’s best at…
I didn't say to provide examples. What it can do is search inside its window if you have an excessive amount of text.

It can do some extrapolation on tasks it's already been proven to do, but that's not every task.
I don't believe so (the Sony v. Bleem cases mainly ended up in favor of Bleem), but also I don't think anyone has tried since the DMCA. It looks like Nintendo is taking a 'trafficking in circumvention device' legal strategy as opposed to a strictly anti-emulator legal strategy.
Ah I did not look at gitea for about 2 years. That's cool!
There is one clear benefit when using windows: Hardware/Driver compatibility (or at least stable drivers for a much larger pool of hardware). So with WSL you get the Linux dev tooling while not having to worry about nVidia drivers or hybrid iGPU/dGPU issues.

> Nvidia's recent market cap surge has little to do with it.

we're agreed on that, anyway.

Lower-cost areas that are very near higher-cost areas will almost always come up in value. People priced out of the Cupertino school district will decide Santa Clara isn't so bad after all.

Sony vs. Bleem! in 2001. Sony lost, but the cost still shut down the project.
But what is the benefit of these result?

At the moment we put more debris into Earth's orbit, Star Link is nice but not a sustainable solution, same with many other satellites
bleem! (PlayStation emulator) was sued by Sony and was forced to close down because of legal fees, so I guess that counts as a success for Sony.

I seem to recall a bunch of ROM sites disappearing as well, but not sure if that's because they got sued or for other reasons. Some must have been sued and consequently shut down, so maybe not a bad idea (for the companies) to at least try?
> The legal document claims that over a million copies of last year's The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom were downloaded prior to the game's official retail release. As a result, the company is now seeking damages and is demanding that the Yuzu emulator is shut down.

Quite the leap from existing as an emulator to inexplicably being held liable for some independent leak.
This won't matter. The goal will be to run them out of money. It's an open source project and they most likely don't have the capital to fund any sort of lengthy lawsuit.
You're forgetting that many of the countries suffering from low fertility rate are democracies. The elderly can vote and they will vote for their interests, leading to governments raising taxes and putting pressure on the productive generations. This in turn could lead to the young people leaving for countries with smaller tax burden, which would further exacerbate the problem.
Teams is bad as it is. The web version is even worse.

Does anyone else share my wish that the result of this investigation was “poof no more Boeing”? I don’t understand why corporations can be fundamentally flawed and keep going, where a person in that situation would be prosecuted as a criminal. If Boeing has a bad safety culture because they keep investing unbelievable sums of money into stock buybacks and dividends, so much so that they don’t even have reporting culture… I don’t think they deserve a second chance, and frankly I think the shareholders deserve jail time so I really don’t care if they lose some money.

Yes, I know some pension fund somewhere is invested in Boeing. No, I don’t care. Will we ever solve corruption and climate change if we refuse to actually change our ways?
Rovers and helicopters on Mars, leaving the solar system, close-ups of Pluto, asteroid material brought back to Earth, etc. etc. Those weren't exciting, but reaching orbit real cheap is?
Apple is still waiting it out until most of the existing EV issues are resolved. Then, they can swoop in and leverage their walled garden to get buyers/users. They'll also be different than Ford, Mazda, Honda, etc since I don't think they will try to sell their cars. It'll be a subscription fee and Apple will own the car.

All this news tells me is that Apple is putting EV in the back burner since users are still not convinced about EVs in the long-term. AI is here to stay so it makes sense pivoting the team to that. Hell, the AI might make it into their cars for all we know.

What I've found when searching, is that is how much it sold in the first few days. It sold 1.4 million in year one.

I don't think AVP will sell that well. My guess is they won't hit their goal of 400k in the first year.
"On information and belief" - legalese for "we have no evidence".
Death is part of life. I'm getting to the age where I need to accept that my days are numbered by sheer senescence. My grandparents are long gone, my wife's parents are long gone. It's only a matter of time; the antithesis to life.
Not necessarily. It's fairly easy to prove that if the emulator did not exist, the leak would be fairly inconsequential; and considering how easy it is to show the percentage of pirating users versus legitimate users (probably 95%+), it's not a good look.

There's also the issue that, unlike prior emulators, Yuzu risks running afoul of DMCA anti-trafficking provisions for circumvention devices and software that uses circumvention devices. So, while per se emulating the Switch might be legal, decrypting the games may be illegal (as would software that is useless if it is unable to do that decryption).

Edit: Strongly recommend reading my follow up comment explaining historical precedent: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39530558
This is not true at all. I would recommend reading a bit on Apple’s privacy practices and how they differ from other players in the space to arrive at a more informed understanding here.

From Apple’s legal page [0] for e.g. maps: “Individual usage metrics are associated with an identifier that rotates multiple times per hour, and is not tied to your Apple ID. This means Maps cannot search for information about you based on an identifier linked to you or your device.”

Planned obsolescence that is how, we didn’t get today this without some conscious evil supervillain planning - from the time how long light bulbs lasted to apple reducing battery performance via software .

What is stopping car companies to do something similar to car batteries for safety or performance reasons?

It is far easier for a manufacturer to control a car and its lifetime with EV and modern ECU stack .

They do not need to allow anyone else to access either . Even the RTR movement is more cautious in asking to be able modify road cars on the road, it is one thing to be able to repair your own tractor
, it is another thing when the safety of others on the road .

Automakers can get away with lot of things by citing safety .
I've counted at least three civilization-shattering technologies in Star Trek which were simply thrown in, without consideration for the long-term, for reasons of budget and convenience, but largely to maintain the Sailing Ship, Days of Yore set of metaphors.

Transporters: Originally designed to save on tedious shuttle launches and landings and, most importantly, footage, these would utterly rewrite medicine, aging, manufacturing, and so on. Notice in many high adventure films, the dinghy, the shuttle's ancestor, is often ignored.

Artificial Gravity/Inertial Dampeners: We want our ship to be under our boots, and occasionally slosh around when we are enduring space weather. Casual mastery of the force of gravity so we can have an ion storm to knock us about.

Faster-Than-Light: Aside from that messy causality business, real FTL would make the concept of territories quite fuzzy. Sure, you could draw lines on your star charts, but given that someone could zip a few dozen light years in and attack your capitol planet, it's just not the same.

I could go on and on about this, but a lot of this space opera harkens back to a time when governments would just have to trust that some captain or governor was a reasonable person to have in charge because messages back and forth would take so very long.
That's strange. I think I've done about 10 chargebacks over 35 years. All but one I "won" with just an initial submission and waiting. One my card company came back to me for additional details before also siding with me.
