You take out the nipples and vaginas and you lose a large portion (most?) of human advertising.
The 30-year-fixed mortgage combined with the many federal backstops on house prices is the real American social security program. This is also accentuated by the lavish pro-borrower policies at the state and federal level that make foreclosure very difficult. And the asset is protected in bankruptcy.

If you do not buy in to the housing market, you are on the wrong end of every fiscal and monetary policy operating in the US.

One way to reduce the pressure on the housing market to act as a secret pension is to reform social security. It's ridiculous that such a heavy tax on workers pays out such a pathetic amount at the end. The way that it works, the payroll tax money just gets embezzled by Congress, and then a tiny amount is squirted back into the accounts of the taxpayers once they are done embezzling it. Housing is important for reasons beyond just providing a pension-equivalent combined with shelter.

However, there is little pressure to fix these things because the hidden housing benefit is so extravagant and so broadly held by so many voters. It really flips the switch on life to make it EZMode at the cost of mobility. There are still ways to screw up your life, of course, but you kind of have to go out of your way to do it.

Not without significantly complicating your antenna setup (and the data processing setup too). You guessed it, getting multiple directions simultaneously is hard. Note how the current system only detects distance and speed in 1 dimension.

Here's an analysis from someone smarter than me:

> To enable the new features, radar systems now use multiple input/multiple output (MIMO) antenna arrays for high-resolution mapping. Traditional radar systems usually contain two to three transmitting antennas and three to four receiving antennas, which lead to a beam providing limited short-range coverage and a narrow field of view unable to generate images. The limited angular resolution is insufficient to differentiate among vehicles, pedestrians, or objects that are close. The MIMO approach increases the underlying channels from only nine to anywhere between 128 and 2,000. Given radar’s significantly lower costs — even with all the enhanced technology — it’s easy to see how the two technologies will increasingly be on more equal footing.

It's been a little while, but I've used Turo for this a few times. Got older, rattier cars for $20-$25/day, and way less hassle than trying to deal with Hertz/Budget/etc. It was perfect for my needs.
Since Hertz was buying Teslas at near peak demand/hype, it's rumored that Hertz was buying the cars at full retail. No special deal for Hertz.

Absolutely. My local paper's environmental columnist recently rented an EV and chronicled the experience. [1] There were so many compromises involved, largely related to charging/range. For example, she had to walk in the cold (Maine) from her hotel to her car, which she was charging overnight elsewhere. She also had to skip part of her trip due to lack of range.

The columnist concludes the sacrifices were worth it, given her dedication to environmentalism. The vast, vast majority of people would not choose her experience to be a little greener.

The TL;DR on that is basically "lazy, security unconscious assholes keep shutting it down".

Dennies Ritchie strongly suggested C should add fat pointers all the way back in 1990. Other people have pointed out the issues with zero terminated strings and arrays decaying into pointers (and the ways to deal with them even with backwards compatibility constraints) for years.

One of the most prominent was Walter Bright's article on "C's Biggest Mistake" back in 2009 and he was a C/C++ commercial compiler developer.

Right.

The key takeaway for me, they being wall street people - customer empathy was missing.

101 of salesmanship - understanding of customers needs, desires and then selling solutions for those. Here their customers were out of town weary travelers wanting to have a hassle free quick ride to a hotel or a meeting; have not used EVs before (perhaps never intend to), now have to focus on a new problem - how to learn a new skill of handling EV, how to plan for charging during their multi day trips.. etc.

> so if we take everything at face value then this facility is ~10x worse than the average for USPA members.

The issue is that I would expect at least a factor of 10 typical variation in the number of yearly jumps done at different facilities, so it’s hard to conclude anything without getting at least a rough guess of how many jumps they are doing. (The article correctly notes that the inability to find this number publicly is a real problem.)
who said it had to be fair? Yes we do that stuff and yes we have been on the intelligence side covertly on the offensive.

I’m advocating for loud and proud here though. We have more than enough bandwidth in every sense of the word to do both. IMO we treat it like any other sanction.

Your point is well received though, we have been very much on the offensive. Which is how you know that if we had the capability to do loud and effective shit and have the world stage see it, we would do it. But we don’t because everyone is for some reason afraid to do it.

I worked for DARPA for about a decade and a half, we weren’t ever allowed to use the word hacking. Think about how fucked that is. They were making advanced tanks, drones, missiles, all kinds of weapons to kill people. But hacking??? Way too far man! That’s too much!!

I think the law should be that you state the maximum price for a given transaction and then discount down.

So you can have a cash discount but it's okay to say no credit card fees. These are the "junk fees" that came up in political discourse in the last year or two. Credit card vendors shouldn't be allowed to restrict cash discounts. I know this isn't libertarian, but I want it to be a pre-negotiated thing simply for the sake of keeping cash alive, like how minimum wage is a pre-negotiated wage to avoid the overhead of getting the whole nation into a labor union.

That's why I like free shipping on Amazon. I know it's not literally free, I just want to see what you're _actually_ gonna charge me, it cuts off an avenue of bullshit.

For better or worse, inline HTML was key part of original markdown spec:

> For any markup that is not covered by Markdown’s syntax, you simply use HTML itself. There’s no need to preface it or delimit it to indicate that you’re switching from Markdown to HTML; you just use the tags.

> If you want, you can even use HTML tags instead of Markdown formatting; e.g. if you’d prefer to use HTML <a> or <img> tags instead of Markdown’s link or image syntax, go right ahead.

Markdown was not really intended as standalone markup format, instead it was more just a tool for authoring HTML

> Markdown’s syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web.
> It's the ultimate victim blaming religion - you're poor because you were a bad person in a previous life.

A slight misunderstanding, or an inconsiderate person may use it for victim blaming, but that's not what lays down. It gives guidelines that our actions have consequences, good or bad even if they are not immediately visible to us. On HN, people talk about the role luck plays in the success of startups. Two different people working hard, with brilliant ideas: one of them gets to build a billion $ company, while the other may go bankrupt. What we call luck, or randomness here is explained as karma (good, or bad deeds accumulated from earlier lives). Used with right understanding, and compassion, this provides good guidance for those who seek it.

I know this is anecdata, but of a couple of friends that had Tesla rentals from Hertz, the number one issue was charging availability, or lack thereof. The fleet maintenance issues may have also been a factor, but from what I observed I would not take an EV as a rental car myself, solely because of the charging issue.

I recently had a really good interview experience. 2-3 hour project. Then, after they reviewed it, another hour and a half meeting the team (no live coding, just talking about experience/fit). These takehome projects used to annoy me, but after this experience, I think I’d be fine with them being the standard as long as companies give feedback. Much better than 4 cycles of interviews.

I’m also pretty certain they learned more about me through that than through leetcode-style problems that are in ChatGPT’s training set.
Well, the markdown specification allows inline HTML, so that's to be expected. But it's true if you're taking user input as markdown and display it as rendered HTML, you need to think very carefully about escaping and sanitization.
I lived off the stuff for several years (along with the free dried milk and stale bread and mayo sandwiches). The worst part about it was all the mold you’d have to cut off. At the time, I didn’t know anything about taste. But, hey at least it kept me from starving.

The other day I was discussing the design for an "update" email that our designer was putting together and showing me the size of this stupid graphical header he put at the top and I was showing him how with that you can't even see the text of the title of the email without scrolling down, and then he forwards some other version to me for more feedback and suddenly started getting all disturbed and upset because something looked different to him.. like the fonts were a bit smaller.. and then he said, oh no, when you forward it, it transforms it to the desktop version, instead of the mobile version! And I'm sitting there in disbelief, just staring at him, like,... this is EMAIL we're talking about, what do you mean "desktop" version and "mobile" version? How is that even a thing? What do you mean it "transforms" it? It's literally just copying it! The fact that it "breaks" when you do that is evidence of how stupid this is. My god man, why is CSS in my email at all?

The fact that we haven't adopted something much simpler to just be able to express italics or whatever, like markdown, is just bonkers to me. It just shows how little anyone cares about actually improving the situation. And all just to cater to the bizarre corporate need to put logos and banners everything. HTML email is just ridiculous.
Be an asshole elsewhere. This makes me LESS want to use lzip because of such aggressive non-useful slander and just plain nonsense.
A classic cut off the limb to fix the cut solution. The problem is bad standardization for email that has allowed hacks like this to rule the day.

HTML in general is susceptible to these very concerns. Plenty of emails exist that use HTML without incident. This reads as one user’s frustration with something in the wild that is dressed as a security issue.

As a former Hertz customer, this felt like a product management failure.

You'd just get an option: among the 20 different vehicle types listed, one would be an EV. I'd look at it and think "yeah that might be interesting", but as a non-EV-owner I have quite a few questions. Do I need to bring it back charged? Do they have an agreement with charger-folks to use their charger? Am I going to be gouged on electricity the same way they gouge me on bridge tolls? Can I even drive an EV? (I guess -- probably, but who knows?). I therefore conclude that the EV option is only for someone who already drives an EV, and has rented one before.

It had the feel of some bean counter or senior executive decided on a whim to stick a bunch of EVs into the fleet, but no person with a brain at Hertz had done anything whatsoever beyond parking them and adding some records to a database table.

They could have had content on the web site "click here to learn more about the EV rental experience". They could have had an "EV concierge" experience where someone walks you to the vehicle and answers questions. A dedicated 1-800 number to call if you need a charger. They could have sent out offer emails in advance "we'd love you to try an EV on your next rental, here's a discount and some FAQ answers and we'll make it really easy". Nope, none of that.

Stealing a recent comment from reddit on someone's Hertz EV experience. It's a Solterra (Subaru's first EV in collaboration with Toyota) which made it even worse than the Teslas, but I think a good illustration of this idea that you can just roll out EVs to rental customers and act like it's the same as a gas car:

> Hertz gave me a Subaru Solterra for a one way trip from Temecula to Vegas because it was their last car. Couldn't tell me how to start it or anything because they just got it the day before... and they didn't bother plugging it in so it had 20 miles of range. Couldn't tell me where to charge it so I wasted much of it driving around the mall looking for the charger.

> Four hours later I had enough charge to get to Barstow. Or so I thought. Had to charge in Victorville. Then get a hotel room because it was midnight. Put it on a fast charger in the morning and a full charge should have gotten me all the way back. Hit Baker and I knew it wouldn't.

> My five hour drive ended up taking 25 hours.

> Fuck Hertz.

They explain on the website:

>To achieve its impressive data transfer rates, PCIe 7.0 doubles the bus frequency at the physical layer compared to PCIe 5.0 and 6.0. Otherwise, the standard retains pulse amplitude modulation with four level signaling (PAM4), 1b/1b FLIT mode encoding, and the forward error correction (FEC) technologies that are already used for PCIe 6.0. Otherwise, PCI-SIG says that the PCIe 7.0 speicification also focuses on enhanced channel parameters and reach as well as improved power efficiency.

So it sounds like they doubled the frequency and kept the encoding the same. PCIe 6 can get up to 256 GB/s, and 2x 256 = 512.

In any case, it'll be a long time before the standard is finished, and far longer before any real hardware is around that actually uses PCIe 7.

Not necessarily. You could create the feeling or impression of detail on-demand - consider a 2D fractal in software that you can zoom into infinitely. It's not more detailed than our base reality, it's actually quite a simple construct.
