> Oh and they categorically consider hitting a pothole to be the driver’s fault, no matter the circumstances

Because it is your fault. How can someone force you to drive into a pothole at speed? Smooth roads build complacency, but you need to be on the lookout at all times. Most drivers are disastrously bad when it comes to understanding speed. Modern cars encourage awful habits.
I think one of the problems in the UK is too much of the competition is just on price. People buy what is cheapest on a price comparison site. They do not consider reputation for trying not to pay, or customer service very much (because there are either no metrics or unclear ones).

The same applies to things like internet connectivity. People look only at price and download speed.

I also think it is not worth claiming for minor things and you keep your no claims bonus - therefore you might as well get a policy with a higher excess.
You can approach gambling in the same exact way. It's called hedging your bets.
> This will ruin EU car makers.

Why?, they can sell more in home region and rest of the world where China is also going to be tariffed.

Its not like access to China is free... they mak JVs where they lack control and give up their IP.

Pulling out means less unfair competition, less knowledge transfer to chinese auto makers.
WGPU, like Vulkan 1.0, requires setting up RenderPasses up front, which is verbose and laborious.

That is no longer needed in Vulkan 1.2 or newer, making it considerably simpler.

That eliminates some of its advantage over Vulkan in terms of simplicity.

It also lacks latest graphics features like mesh shaders and ray tracing.

How would one timezone work? The sun sets at 8:00 in one place and sets at 20:00 on the other side of the world?

In terms of working or traveling between time zones, it seem like it would be much harder to remember the fact that, for instance, people in New York stop work when the clock says 17:00 and people in LA work until 20:00, than to remember that they are three time zones apart.

> Most of vertebrates (including human's ancestors) lost the 6th sense of electric fields in process of the evolution.

Human ancestors are not human. Also, the ancestor you are referring to was a fish, and could only sense electric fields under water. Why would the ability to sense electric fields under water be an evolutionary advantage for humans who don't live in water? If it's not an evolutionary advantage, then there is no reason it would propagate.

When I said 5 senses are better than 4, I was clearly referring to senses that are useful in our environment. Answer this question: is a deaf person, all else equal, more likely or less likely to survive and procreate relative to a hearing person?

> Moles went further to loose sight as well.

Moles have eyes and can see. Their vision is just not as detailed as humans. Highly detailed sight isn't an advantage for creatures that live in the dark. However, hearing is a huge advantage for people who live in an environment where sound waves exist.

You're clearly wrong here. Stop reaching so hard and just move on.
That's due to a lack of theory and useful abstractions in the tools used to modify genes. We're so early on in the development of that field that if this were computers, we'd still be assembling devices by arranging logic gates by hand. Custom cosmetic gene therapy is a great way to incentivize the better tools.
I was in Sweden then, was only 2yo though so don't remember it, my parents felt the change went smoothly.
True. So far I feel like only BMW takes EVs seriously and sell some of the best ones in Europe.
Almost, we're looking at an age of intermittent energy abundance. Right now electricity prices are negative where I live while the solar array produces anything between 0 and 15 kW due to a mixture of network overload (hence 0 W), cloud cover (~1.5 kW) and clear skies (15 kW). This changes from second to second. Solar needs local storage but storage is expensive and limited, I'm waiting for prices to drop and capacity to increase before I invest in it.
I don't think that's quite right, evolution makes trade offs and allocates scarce resources, it's not necessarily because such things would not be beneficial.
Bicycle insurance is mostly useless unfortunately. We really need to do something about it if bicycles are going to be practical for more people. Cars get probably 100x the Police resource dedicated to them compared to bikes.

why on a yacht, though? i have a similar problem. shy bladder plus tense pelvic base. maybe even somewhat increased prostate (i don't know). so peeing is always something i need a little privacy for. but everytime i'm scuba diving plus out with a boat it's like my prostate is locking up completely. extremely weird and uncomfortable feeling. on those small boats there is never a toilet but there are sneaky options that in theory should work but don't. so i'm wondering if the wavy motion might have something to do with this problem.
Yeah, I get what you are saying. I would never want to mandate any language. I think it is dumb when countries have official languages as opposed to e.g. operating languages.

I just think that people are more worried about the homogenization of language than they need to be. In fact, with how quickly culture is homogenizing around the world, I think that it is even possible that language differences outlast cultural differences over the medium term. Teenagers in a lot of the world I have been to in the past years dress/behave/express themselves ... not very differently.

Everywhere I go in the world, old shit is different, but modern shit is depressingly the same, or really similar anyway.

> prudently investing the insurance float

More gambling! What I find interesting about this question is that insurance companies are the real gamblers. Attempting to frame their clientele as gamblers approaches absurdities such as a limited opportunity to spend, and most importantly, a strict cap on "reward" lower than the cost to "play" (entry fee for a new car is the policy rate plus a car of equal or greater value).

Whereas insurance companies are gambling on both ends: with their customers' potential losses and with their float on the investment market.
There is a joke, that in order to facilitate such a change, it should be done in more manageable steps. So on day 1, only the motorcycles switch over to the other side of driving, on day 2 the motor vehicles, and on day 3 the trucks and busses switches over...
Like in France (excl. Alsace and Lyon metro). But which track trains use has extremely limited effects on the general public.
Yeah so like, a pair of "Merlin Methalox" on sides. Flying machines need at least four independent degrees of freedom to fly, but not less, so authority wise two XY gimbaling Merlins should do.

The current Raptor setup seems to be working pretty well for boostback and entry burns while the vehicle is in total vacuum, but it seem to get sketchier as propellants are expended and TWR increases, while altitude coincidentally reduces and aerodynamic stress increases. Almost every materials are stronger against tensile stresses than compressive stresses, and stainless steel is no exception, so an array of mighty Raptors trying to compress the booster lengthwise from the bottom, could be, just could be, less ideal than a pair of tip-jets pulling upwards and straightening the shell.

As for them being dead weight on ascent, I don't know, but as I understand it, every bit of thrust buys a bit of payloads at very moment of launch, then thrust requirement rapidly decreases and effect of Isp becomes more dominant. So I think there could be potentially some net positive effect in "test firing" the proposed side-jets at launch for few moments, depending on various parameters. I'm way too much of a layperson on actual rocketry to be even remotely sure, though.

I mean, picture Superheavy coming in to launch site, then the side facing retro-rockets light up as high as 100m above the ground, suspending the booster under it and sliding it gently onto the chopsticks. The retro-rockets are slightly angled, like Dragon 2 thrusters or slightly more angled. Isn't that going to look even cooler than what it is already?

Currently, whether multiple language servers can be active in one buffer is up to the language client. In Emacs for example, Eglot (built-in) doesn’t support this but LSP-mode (bolt-on) does.

I think you changed the question and escalated the severity of the proposal so it became easier to knock down as a straw man.

I fear that's temporary until Chinese manufacturers have copied everything and produce it for lower costs.

Interesting project. I always want to build something like that.
It's a convoluted way of saying "use value" vs. "exchange value".

A million dollars is a million dollars, or it's a house. I don't need a million dollars but I do need a house or I freeze to death. I can't eat a million dollars worth of food but I need to eat food every day or I die.

Gambling is seen as immoral because it's about extending your exchange value capabilities, although most people who gamble are poor as dirt and a winning bet is often about paying your utility bills and having a day out over being able to do neither (while losing bets contribute to being unable to do either).

Insurance is seen as prudent because it acts as a fail safe over your use values, be it your health, housing, employment, etc. Social security is basically a system of spreading the odds over the population, forcing everyone to do the small bets to contain the catastrophic outlier probabilities - in theory.
Fight back how? The way this works is that Chinese people consume less than what they produce. Extreme example would be that Chinese workers are slaves who only get the food necessary for survival. How do you compete with that strategy?

The correct counter-strategy is that all major economies - USA, EU, India, etc. - enact tariffs.
When I lived in an apartment in Australia, during winter we didn’t use the heater because it wasn’t so cold, when we moved to a landed house we couldn’t live without the heater! I don’t have any power bills from 20 years ago to know how much we used. But you’ve made me curious.

HTMX doesn't require Django - you can use it with any web framework you like. And server side rendering should be fundamental knowledge that anybody working in the web-space should understand.
Utility is quite a complex and badly defined concept - its also central to economics. The idea is that the value to you of an extra amount of money goes down as you have more. i.e. getting £10k could be life changing for a poor person, unnoticeable to a rich one.

https://moneyterms.co.uk/utility/

The expected value is the amount multiplied by the chance of getting it. SO if you have a 50% chance of getting £1,000 the expected value is £500.

That GP comment is saying is that in the case of insurance the small risk of being wiped out financially vs the certain cost of premiums the expected value is negative (for insurers to be profitable) BUT because the effect on utility of losing a huge amount of money is so bad, the expected value of the utility is positive.
May not be that easy.

EU car makers in China usually aren't. They're usually set up as joint ventures, so they're 50% EU and 50% Chinese car makers.
> China does not own 51% of VW

Is VW the JV used to sell in China?

> They are selling their IP. It is business.

they have no choice if they want to sell in China. Look at Google if you want to see what happens if they refuse.

> Than maybe the EU can start there?

I think tariffs work just as well and are less complicated. It's not like Chinese companies would accept the same conditions.

End result will be the same, decoupling. Long term this is better, more industrial infrastructure in EU serving global market. Less support for Chinese companies if they're limited to home country, less industrial base there to go to war.
Things moving against gravity always look fake. We’re just not used to seeing that.

My version of the joke:

"Have you heared: Britain wants to switch to right-hand traffic?"

...

"Yes, but they want to do it step by step."

???

"They want to start with lorries first."
Please. The German car industry has also been flushed with billions in state subsides, especially since covid.

It's basically a polite mob shakedown. All that the likes of VW have to do is call up Scholz on speed dial and say "Look at all these thousands of workers and voters that depend on us selling more cars. You wouldn't want anything to happen to their jobs and families, would you? Think on how they'd vote if their livelihoods were to be impacted."

Pointing the fingers at a China for state subsidies is a bit hypocritical, but it's very effective argument at local companies getting more state subsidies.

I agree with everything here, though I'd add that part of the "success" of the military industrial complex is distorting how the average citizen thinks about far-flung countries it wants to be perceived as "enemies" - the anti-Chinese sentiment and misinformation, even on HN, in is simply staggering. The current world feels like a real-life incarnation of 1984.

I don’t use GitHub in my day to day work, but since I don’t see any other answers: for me the main reason it to prove the tag hasn’t been changed under me feet. It’s too easy for a lightweight tag to be changed without you knowing, whereas an annotated tag has some permanence of a date, comment, sha, author etc.
I agree with the OP here. The biggest issue unsolved by RSS is customizability. You can pick what feeds you subscribe to, but that's your only level of control. HN, Reddit, Twitter, etc give you a feed of several hundreds posts per day. Most of them are irrelevant to my interests or filtering criteria. For example, I may only be interested in posts containing certain keywords, a certain amount of comment activity, or a certain number of upvotes/downvotes. Whatever it may be. The RSS protocol doesn't let you control this.

Of course, I can ignore anything I am not interested in. But the reality of the situation is that out of 30 minutes reading RSS feeds I spend 20 minutes filtering out stuff I am not interested in. Also, crucial information such as post popularity is missing because it's not available at publishing time and changes over time. "Social" is not part of the protocol.

You can argue that social media sites don't belong into RSS, but then you are removing the single biggest use case of RSS. If I can't put social media feeds into RSS it's useless to me because social media is exactly what overwhelms you with information and FOMO, which is what RSS should be solving.
The problem is price fixing deals between hospitals and insurers, where the insurer pays only a tiny fraction of the retail price. It's not economically viable for consumers to not have the "discount plan" as you aptly put it. That benefits the insurance company so they like it like that.
The deceased person's estate, yeah. Often it's possible to simply disclaim an inheritance and you would therefore never receive the money; but sometimes that means it would go to your heirs.

With a $1M account, it's a lot easier to say you would return it than to actually do it though. That's life changing money and it's hard to say no to life changing money.

you don't really go broke by having too many insurances - at least that's not very common. but you can go broke by gambling and such become a liability to family and friends. actually it makes more sense to compare gambling to _not_ having an insurance. pretty simple.
>Why?, they can sell more in home region and rest of the world where China is also going to be tariffed.

The market is already saturated by them.

These companies will instantly loose a very significant amount of revenue and loose access to a big market. This can only mean cuts in the EU as well, as engineering and manufacturing for China is lost.
Vulkan 1.0 expects you to configure render passes ahead of time because that’s the best way to get optimal performance on all hw. This especially matters for tiling architectures on mobile.
