Unfortunately, in practice most people don’t choose HOAs, they simply can’t afford to live anywhere without one.
The local government in many areas is often requiring an HOA to be formed for new developments to manage stormwater and road maintenance that they don’t want to be responsible for.

In those situations the HOA could be seen as government imposed rather than purely “freedom of association”.

I own a 100 year old home so there is no HOA but it’s difficult for most people to afford such homes since there’s a limited supply and they’re often either in highly desirable or blighted city centers.
So let’s play this out. Say China floods the US market and the US players go out of business as you suggest. What then happens to the US’s industrial base? What happens if there’s a major war (maybe even against china!) and no car factories to retool? You think a new crop of auto companies come up and then are able to compete against lower wage workers combined with gov financing?

This is a plug-in hybrid car. If you can't charge at home, realistically it is just going to be like any other hybrid car just maybe with a bigger gas tank and slightly better MPG. What routes are people routinely driving where they need 1,300mi between recharging and refueling?

I like the way you think.

A few years ago, a local residents association protested and actually got blocked the opening of a daycare in an actual commercial space due to "traffic" concerns and, I literally quote "The heritage status of area properties would be “eroded” by the daycare use, he said, and the idea of plastic toys, jungle gyms and signage in pastel colours “truly distressing.”.

I fantasized about being a billionaire, paying whatever it would have cost to purchase the property, then opening a private "biker bar club" that would operate at insanely late hours and just paying any noise bylaw fines that came our way. I would have sponsored harley noise competitions at 3am and would have said that it's a pop up club that would end when the application for it to become daycare was granted. I'd have named the daycare "little trikes daycare" as a constant reminder.

But the HoA/council/government can often make your life hell by selectively over-enforcing other laws and taking up a lot of your time and/or money. If I were rich and retired, it'd be "fun" to pass the time (though I wouldn't want to live in such a community anyways).

Not having to waste the time, energy, and planning to go to a gas station is a major selling feature

The average miles driven on a car per year is 13,500

The median range of a gasoline automobile is ~400 miles

Assuming most people don't drive to absolute empty figure that's something like 40 trips per year to the gas station

This BYD cuts that down to ~10 trips per annum

Or framed another way you go to the gas station once every five weeks vs once a week

Nextdoor is an app (maybe a website too? not sure) which acts in my area sort of like a twitter feed for the people living in the houses nearby. It's not that useful unless you're in a built up area because I'd say the likelihood your neighbours are on it is actually pretty low.

The stereotypical Jackie is not like a Karen. Where I'm from a Jackie is a lady who's usually a little older and working class, great conversation IRL, very inappropriate, the type who says stuff in her back garden and you roll your eyes and close the windows so your kids don't start repeating it.

The cultural collision is that Jackie is not as much fun on Nextdoor, because something about the anonimity and having to write out the things she says out makes them sort of horrible, and she very easily slips into being a bit of a bully.

For what it's worth I think the UK equivalent of a Karen is Sandra, whose husband is Terry -- whereas Jackie is obvs with Barry.

When you really examine them, stereotypes are weird.

This made me curious about what macOS does. Using the finder, whether via menu command or drag and drop will rename the file automatically to
${filename} hh.mm.ss.${ext}

But mv does not. Interestingly, it doesn’t appear Apple has added their own cli tool for moving something to the trash in the same way that they provide `open` or `pbcopy` or `pbpaste`

You could execute inline AppleScript to tell the Finder to move the file to the trash, but that’s pretty roundabout

I’m a fan of Elon. But he’s done no such thing. He’s elevated a particular kind of speech which in recent history was suppressed but has, since Trump’s election in 2016, had zero problem gaining mainstream access.

They are amazing!

I had a left sided hemicolectomy (left side bowel removal) last year.

When I came round in the recovery room I looked at my wound to see what sort of Frankenstein scar I had. First thing you do after surgery! It was a Frankenstein scar I can tell you. From my pubic bone to my solar plexus.

When I peeled back the bandages I noticed a small electronic device attached to my stomach directly over the scar.

Turns out the surgery team monitored my progress over the next few weeks with this device.

I was also given a hand held contraption with a button on the end.

This I found was to release morphine directly into the wound area when the pain got too much for me. No need to call a nurse for more morphine.

I am a huge sceptic of big pharma and their medications claims but I have great respect for the real work that goes on in the medical world.
Can you think of anything better than just opening every single file and manually transcribing it?

No, because the work of manual transcription is a way of telling if transcribing them is worth doing. Or maybe pay someone to transcribe it. Spending money is also a good way to tell if something matters (assuming you have sufficient money).

Orthogonally, maybe building a system is what you really want to do (for many people that would be more enjoyable than revisiting old journal content).

Finally, starting from hand transcription is an entry point into rewriting what you wrote. Rewriting is writing and if there's publication on your roadmap, you will be rewriting anyway.

There's no easy way to write well. Good luck.
It was never sold in the EU...?
Some may recall before the fall of the Soviet union when Soviet citizens were forced to buy Soviet-made cars that were laughably unreliable compared to vehicles manufactured elsewhere.

The US is entering this territory of absurd protectionism that benefits the few at the expense of everyone else. We now have 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs and surely with the rate of innovation we are seeing, they will be 200% before long.

Tesla is bizarrely focused on gigapress and making the EV high-end when the economics of a vehicle with many fewer moving parts and a simpler design should be leading us toward sub-$10K cars and trucks.

As usual, Chinese firms seem to have better engineering chops and much better practical understanding of what the market wants.

It's not just a GNOME thing, but it might not be that cross-platform. On Linux, there's a firefox.desktop file that describes the application to your DE/launcher, and it looks like this on my box:

[Desktop Entry]

Categories=Network;WebBrowser
Exec=firefox --name firefox %U

---snip---

[Desktop Action profile-manager-window]
Exec=firefox --ProfileManager
Name=Profile Manager

So that'll work on anything that uses https://specifications.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/de... and there could be parallel features for Windows/Mac, but there also might not be or Firefox might not implement them.

As a young driver I was given the advice that if you see a lot of oncoming cars using their sunshade or squinting into the sun as they come towards you, it's time to pull over and wait it out.

Ask HN: What payout makes writing a tutorial worth your while?
I recently started a technical content service that provides tutorials to tech startups. The tutorials show developers how to build solutions with a startup's APIs and supporting technology. They are around 2,000 words. This word count includes all the code.

I'm trying to find the sweet spot to pay seasoned developers who have experience writing how-to content in concise English. To build an app, create a repo for your code, and deliver a tutorial that's publish-ready, what payout would make it worth your while?

$1000? $1250? $1500? $2000? More?

Given that the US allows the Cybertruck and certain pickups to be sold, with complete disregard for pedestrian safety, I'd rather question whether Chinese cars are up to European standards.
Most of the people who relocated recently that I personally know are on "short-term rentals".

I put that in quotes because it's always the same: they stay for six months in one place, two months in another, but in the end they stay in those units for years until they find a real apartment.

The units are small, overpriced, sometimes illegal sublets, furnished with cheap Ikea and dressed as vacation rentals to avoid legal issues. They are incredibly easy to rent, showing that there are units available in the market, just not for long-term rental.

Make of that what you will, but it doesn't feel like a healthy market for me.
I think you are right. Depth of experience has always seemed more rewarding than breadth of experience.

I think there is value to vacation and travel for relaxation purposes. But you are definitely right that "world-view enhancing" is travel industry propaganda.

Maybe if you live somewhere for a year and integrate with the culture there is something to be gained. But a week in Italy is just for fun, I think it's silly when people claim otherwise.

Building a community and established roots seems much more meaningful than travelling to many different places, at least to me.
KImageShop → Krayon → Krita, according to this article from 2009:

I wonder if there OpenSUSE distros for the RPi or if I’m best sticking to Raspbian due to the hardware quirks.
This is the bit everyone misses. It’s not about protecting a backwards US or EU etc automotive OEM. It’s about stopping a government backed business models from Chinese companies wiping out the rest of the world’s auto makers in a way those companies simply can’t compete with … and then jacking up pricing in a couple of decades.
So you haven’t traveled yet think it is vapid and useless. You’re like the child who refuses to take a bite of a new food because you’re certain it will be terrible.
I can’t speak for anyone else but when I travel I meet people of different cultures and I appreciate them. I see interesting sights the world has to offer increasing my awe and wonder. The new foods I taste give me an appreciation of different cultures and help me recognize that mine is not the only perspective, the only way, the only right answer.

But sure, maybe that’s all vapid consumerist nonsense. I’m sure you would know, small village expert on the state of the world. Actually that’s pretty harsh. I’m sure you have a lovely perspective from your little village. It’s a shame you’ve revoked my invitation and I can’t come learn it from you.
> We know that the number of detransitioners is on the rise, and their stories are very often along those lines

For some extra context on this comment "on the rise" still constitutes an absolute minority of those who transition, I believe somewhere between 5% and 8% -- and the most common reason given for detransition is due to lack of support, coercion or pressure from family and friends rather than transition regret.

"Of those who had detransitioned, 82.5% reported at least one external driving factor. Frequently endorsed external factors included pressure from family and societal stigma."

doi: 10.1089/lgbt.2020.0437

This article is useful because it explicitly mentions people often misconstrue detransition for regret, when that as a cause for detransition is considered uncommon compared to external pressure.
I keep trying to tell people this, the quality coming out of China keeps getting better and this is generally how things go. Japan was cheap crap, then became quality. Korea as well. It's pretty standard practice and should have been expected.

For my inputs the same goods at the same quality from China are less than half the price than from elsewhere. That is an absolutely huge difference - and those margins often makes the difference between a viable venture and an unviable venture.

Now there is Temu, Alibaba, Bangood, Vevor, etc. There is a local hardware store that only sells one brand from China but that brand has everything, super cheap, and really decent quality. Western companies were making a lot of money selling us cheap Chinese goods at large markups but now those companies are able to sell to us directly and the consumers can keep that surplus. If everything ends up both made in China and sold by China with Chinese brands what role does that leave the rest of us. I used to argue that the west was good at quality control with reliable and fair laws but those are rapidly fading away. Without that we only have finalization and real estate left, and how do we keep that ponzi scheme going without something fundamental and concrete to base it on.
First of all, thank you for providing this feedback, this is exactly what I was looking for!

I'm very confident in my own skills and I feel like I have a fairly ok gauge on what kind of level of developer I am. I am definitivly above average, but I am no guru or savant. I shared that I had been programming since I was young to try to back up the claim that while my CV might not reflect it, I've been doing low latency, highly optimized stuff for a while.

I have about 6 yoe at this point, and I've interviewed several times, but in this round I've only gotten two oppertunities to talk to an interviewer. I shared this also in the post, to back up that my CV is indeed weak. My post is not about trying to come to terms with that I didn't get the job, but more that I find it very strange that I, in my opinion aced the test and was then let go.

Obviously with a NDA and without a recording I cannot back that up, so I fully understand that you choose to doubt this. It was a very simple problem in a domain I've worked in. I've discussed this sort of setup with other developers before and ran benchmarks. I'm fairly certain that what I implemented in those 40 minutes represents close to a perfect solution, given the circumstances.

And I could not agree more with the last line, I have and continue to dedicate most of my freetime to upskilling. I'll be looking to build more projects for a better portfolio, I'm in the process of making my first contributions to GCC and Clang, and I Hope to give some conference talks either this year or next year.

I mentioned it in a post above, but I really view this as being on my technical or interviewing abilities as the best possible outcome, because it means that I can course correct and come back stronger :)

Once again, thanks for taking the time to answer, I really appriciate it!
BYD Atto 3 is $25k USD where I am (Thailand) and wouldn't even be considered that "budget" of a car. There are Chinese EVs here that cost half that (Neta V for instance). Charges on single phase 30A socket to full overnight.

So basically the Chinese are already making super-practical and cheap EVs. Also they look and feel like normal cars, not an iPhone on wheels.
