> final QA on inbound cars

Indeed, a good dealer will spend several hours checking out the new arrivals and then detailing them to remove the transport dirt. AFAICT Tesla doesn't do this as well themselves, both my Model 3s had some fairly obvious defects that took me under a minute to spot.
It's the result of protectionist government policy. The policies are protectionist not just against foreign entry but also against entry of new products into the market. The government picks technology winners. Unsurprisingly, the government doesn't do a great job of this. Infamously it mandated usage of ActiveX and Internet Explorer for banking long after ActiveX had its time in the sun (the government made this the mandate in 1996 and didn't reform it until 2021!)
That's right he was convicted of a crime and jailed. He should have been released from prison for that on 22 September 2019 but was instead kept imprisoned because of the extradition request by the US.

So from 22 September 2019 until his release now he was jailed in very strict conditions without having been convicted of anything, which to me is unacceptable whatever the extradition request situation. Especially now that we see that the instant he pleads guilty he is immediately freed...
At that level, it's not a squint anymore. It's full strabismus..
Ask HN: What brought back the joy of programming for you?
Question goes to those who fell in love with programming, then lost their love for it because of reasons, and then they rediscovered it.
Don't sweat it. Some people are trigger happy on downvoting things looking like self-promotion due to the sheer amount of spam everywhere. Your sponsorship (?) is the right way to promote your company. Thank you.
But of course it is positive. This is a huge deal, even if only one that will benefit himself. I don’t know anything about any secrets that he showed any lack of regard for, but I definitely know about the files he exposed that showed the US government is a bunch of cowards who manipulate people and then use the full force of the law to defend themselves when caught with their pants down.

Instead of making people guess what you mean by nuanced, you simply should go ahead and provide that nuanced perspective and see if anyone wants to engage it.
I don't think Assange operated in any kind of self-interest per-se, I think he operated based on a principle of maximum transparency.

I definitely don't think that is always a positive thing but I struggle to think of anything which Assange leaked which I really disagree with. Probably some parts of cablegate should not have come out as they were very "inside baseball" talk between diplomats and were too easily construed negatively in the media, though, I think for the most part our allies realized that they said the same things about us in their private communications and there was really no major fallout from it.

Now, all that said, Assange did break the law and I don't think there should be no consequences for that but the way the US went about this (across 3 different presidencies) is just terrible. Nudging and cajoling and perhaps berating our Swedish allies to jin up a "rape" case against him so he could be extradited from the UK to Sweden and then obviously to the US, and, denying that we were doing that was just dirty on our part. I'm sure if there is a cablegate 2.0 we'd find we did some fairly terrible stuff to persuade our Swedish allies to prosecute this.

Ultimately the simple reason I think there is near positive reaction to this news is that everyone understands that even given what he did, it does not merit almost 15 years of prison in some really terrible conditions. Should he have walked away free? Maybe, maybe not but he should have had a fair trial with fair charges and faced a fair jury and he never got any of that, he was effectively extrajudicially jailed.
Of course not. There is no alternative. No, it doesn't count as an alternative if it's not in the same price range. This specifically applies to R2.

Will keep using it until I can't anymore.
No, absolutely not. I can't say future space mining isn't a consideration (a moonshot if you will) but the challenges are astronomical. First you have to setup a mining and refining operation in an incredibly hostile environment and then you need to ship it back. We just aren't there yet.
Move slower and break less things.
Why? Because I'm a software person that uses shortcuts and acronyms and instead of typing out 'federal government' used a easily recognized abbreviation?
He should be in prison. He should suffer the punishment that was, or would have been, put on the postmasters.
>Property taxes are a way to make people not actually own their property.

How do you figure? What does ownership have to do with taxation?
In the book Super Volcanoes, I read about how complex the moon is geologically and how little of it we've examined and how poor our understanding of the geological history is. Apparently we can't yet explain how it was geologically active so recently. Imagine if the only rock samples we had from Earth were from a couple random spots on the surface, from wildly different time periods, and trying to develop together a theory of how its geology changed over time from that.

> States have secrets its just the nature of the world.

So let’s just check your bias. Assuming an American journalist living in England exposes video of Russia gunning down civilians and shows they are covering it up. Would you say the right cause of action would be for that American to be procedures in Russia because “ States have secrets it’s just the nature of the world.” and apparently hiding war crimes and prosecuting journalists who expose them is also just states rights?
It's a function of the filtered population. The cars are at full capacity day and night so the increased number of users won't affect a single car's cleanliness nearly as much as the type of people that will be riding in them.
The Internet Archive isn't immune to that either, unfortunately. Taylor Lorenz has leveraged her uncle to delete unfavorable stuff about her out of the Internet Archive :/
One of my dealers locally sells both Ford and Chevy. It's great for cross shopping. There can be exclusivity arrangements, sure, but it's not set in stone. And in any case Coke & Pepsi absolutely have the same sorts of arrangements with both retailers and restaurants.
Agree there’s no or few “original” stories, and also that that’s not exactly something to bemoan. The quibble I’m making is that the longevity, whether intended by the tellers or not, tends to stick to the story in such a way as to lend not-necessarily-earned historical validity. The story is “time-tested” in an evolutionary sense not “time-tested” as a truth. That is, the story changed to survive, it didn’t hold up against time. Many of the stories take on the latter shine of certainty and legacy—as key selling points.

Making it more entertaining to contemporary audiences is fine or normal or whatever.
Maybe this will lead to everyone building their own stuffs. A pretty good outcome for SWEs, isn't it?
We need to find a creative commons pic.
I'm currently on their free plan, which is pretty good. As long as they offer it, I'm not likely to leave.
If I was on a paid plan it might be a different story, although I can't think of any alternatives off the top of my head, so maybe not!
Debt just means young families can have a place to live now while they pay off over time. No one can afford upfront housing…
Bullshit du jour. In the context of health care a hospital could have digital twins of heart monitors and patients. You can then manage which heart monitors are attached to which patient using a "computer". If you have ever done anything useful with a digital device you may know the concept under the term "entry in a database table". Or "thing that cynical greedy assholes sell to ignorant greedy idiots"
In case this is new to some people: you can run

$ mdfind [thing]

like

$ mdfind microsoft

from the command line and it was an ultra-fast search using the index that Spotlight search uses. It's great to find pesky files when trying to rid yourself of an app and can't figure out what's left.

I usually pipe it into a text editor (mdfind 1password | subl), use my editor to put rm or so rm at the beginning of each one, then paste it into terminal to run. That lets me audit the files first as opposed to xargs but I'm sure there's a million ways—the point is mdfind can be useful.
They have an explicit goal to end Israel. Every dead Hamas member makes the world a better place. Fortunately, Israel is helping make that happen.
Directly security-focused products like lastpass are the only things that have any market pressure whatsoever on this, and that's because they're niche products for which the security is the only value-add, marketed to explicitly security-conscious people and not insulated by a whole constellation of lock-in services. The relevant security threats for the overwhelming majority of people and organizations are breaches caused by the practices of organizations that face no such market pressure, including constant breaches of nonconsensually-harvested data, which aren't even subject to market pressures from their victims in the first place
How good is Quantization in Milvus?
I never go to the local guy. My dad did, but he loved old cars more than I do. And the one time I did go to his guy, I was astonished at how much he charged. Made the dealer seem downright competitive. And the dealer definitely has better access to parts and model-specific knowledge.
I meant airport rides to the terminal at all hours of the day.

Waymo is already giving driverless freeway rides to employees in Phoenix, so I don’t agree that it’s far away. It’s definitely a different challenge though.
> I think the UK and US should abstain from criticising any countries' courts and justice system after that...

Couldn't disagree more. By this logic, no country should criticize any other country's courts and justice systems because they all have problems and massive miscarriages of justice.

Do we want more scrutiny and criticism or less? I think the world is better if the US and UK aggressively criticize and pressure other countries to improve AND ALSO everyone else criticizes abuses by the US and UK and pressures them to improve.

IMO that is a much better world than one where nobody is highlighting abuses or asking anyone else to improve.
What's the recent drama?
They targeted civilians with no other aim than to target civilians.

They got elected and like the Nazis stopped any more elections.

They violently killed their opposition after their election victory.

They’ve severely curtailed the freedoms of the people they’ve ruled in Gaza, famously, for example, executing their own commander because he may have been gay.

They’ve misappropriated billions in aid to build tunnels and construct weaponry.

Theyve started a war against a much more powerful enemy that they have no hope of winning.

In this war they consistently use their civilian population as human shields.

In this war they consistently refuse to allow the civilian population to seek shelter in the tunnels they spent billions in aid building.

In this war, that they are losing, they’ve consistently rejected multiple offers for a ceasefire.

All of this while much of their leadership actually resides in Qatar.
I mean the original pressings for sure, if you are a completionist you will go mad.

He had a lot of early recordings that had no distribution and were only sold at live shows, and he was known for recording everything he ever did even if some are pretty lofi.

But all the popular recordings are available as repressings, and you can find plenty affordably new online or used at discogs.

I’ve never found any Sun Ra in the $2 Goodwill bins but I’ve found plenty of other great jazz records there.
That is indeed the consequence of skipping bail after having lost an extradition hearing, yes.

What would you have done? "Oh, he ran away again, nothing we could have done, this was totally unforeseeable?"
I’ll give you an example, I live in rural Utah and more than once walked into a store and bought something and left money on the counter when there were no employees in the store. Or, as a pilot I’ll fly into an airport and the keys to a courtesy car will be on a table in the lounge with a note to fill up the gas tank.

High trust society is one where people do the morally right thing even if they wouldn’t get caught. To do have that you need a set of common societal values.
polyfilling and minification both belong on the ash heap of js development technologies.
Could also be that they're taught to be overly cautious to avoid suicidally stupid humans
Right, but the government made a tradeoff with local communities that then don't have a source of property taxes, the standard mechanism in the United States for local community funding. Believe me those of us that chose to live in forests in the modern world that pushes everyone to cities are making big compromises because we LOVE the forests. We also love our children and would like to be able to afford public schools to educate them.
For single user (batch_size = 1), sure. But that is quite expensive in $/tok.
Yep. The philosophy most software seems to be written with is “poke it until it works locally, then ship it!”. Bugs are things you react to when your users complain. Not things you engineer out of your software, or proactively solve.

This works surprisingly well. It certainly makes it easier to get started in software. Well, so long as you don’t mind that most modern software performs terribly compared to what the computer is capable of. And suffers from reliability and security issues.
My comment about government services, banking, education and so on was in response to your general assertion that an iPhone is no different than other electronic devices and therefore shouldn't be treated differently by regulators. For the reasons I listed, that's kind of ridiculous. Smartphones are just as important to modern economies/societies as the automobile, air travel, public libraries or news organizations (at least in my opinion).

Accordingly... unlike an XBox (which only provides entertainment) smartphones need to have well considered legislation that maximizes the overall benefit to society (while still maintaining a financial incentive for innovation). There's a lot at stake.

So, I wasn't trying to cite specific examples where Apple has fallen short in these areas (though I'm aware of a few), I was making a generalization about the relative importance of the smartphone to modern economies and society. It's just not the same thing as other gadgets (even if the technology is similar). Not even close.
Ok. Reduce borrowing. Done. The rich benefit disproportionately from societal structures. The bulk of market driven capital gains should be collected for the benefit of society. Equalizing need not come into the dialogue.
Huge fan of dotenv, excited to try this out!
I think, if you have this problem, your tooling is bad. There are broadly two approaches to git commit history: (a) it should reflect the historical development process; and (b) it should be cleaned up and pretty.

If you're taking approach (b), then the maintainer is responsible for rewriting commits (e.g. squash merge). If using GitHub, only the commit description given in the PR is used, and the "true" history is discarded, so it doesn't matter.

I prefer approach (a), but even something as primitive as gitk (from Git GUI) would let me browse the history you describe without issues. Provided that the merge commit is a summary in the project language, intermediate "true-history"-style commits are most useful as a mnemonic aid to the original developer, and secondarily as evidence for a retrospective investigation (for which you want as much primary-source data as possible: even if the author's fluently bilingual, translating risks losing valuable information).

The best approach, imo, is to be fine with this, and take measures to ensure that it does not impede your workflow. An acceptable, professional approach would be to add a contributor's guide, requiring that all commit messages have their first line in English.

If you're getting angry, that suggests you're doing something silly like relying on GitHub's useless web view.
The giant Exxon project that could create the last petrostate
Not all: only of few of my repos have been cloned.

But it's open sauce, right? Mine are Apache, so this is fine?

As long as I can log in with "hunter2" as my password, it's definitely all fine. %-P
Author here. I realize it reads as an ad for Tailscale, but I actually wrote it earlier in 2019 while doing some of the very early product development. In a sense it is more a PRD than anything.
Async Rust in ScyllaDB: performance, pitfalls, profiling
stolen or mirrored?
Depends how tightly bound the oxygen is. If the reaction is exothermic then you capture the liberated oxygen to make far more oxygen in a feedback loop.
This deal reminded me the deal that Microsoft invested into Apple in 1997. Rivian has been struggling a lot recently (similar to Apple that time) and now they are going to have enough money to become the Apple of EVs while Tesla becoming the Android.
Within the context of the narrative, Isaac's importance to Abraham was practically infinite.
Surely almost all publicly available GitHub repos permit making a clone of them in their license?
How is this stolen? Its open source code
exactly—well said
I mean that is definitely programming. The real distinction you’re looking for is the gap between programming and building a production-ready product.
This sounds like terraform. Is this TF for k8s?
Testing in production.
Yea, that checks out.

I don't think I've ever had good experience with Chinese companies. It is like 90% of the product is marketing and form, rather than function.

I bought some robotics stuff from a Chinese company. It became a paperweight because the documentation was a google drive folder that was a collection of code and random PDF files from various sources, mixed with some Chinese stuff.

The branding was a 10/10 but everything behind the scenes was 0/10, not even functional.

It has happened to me 3+ times and at this point I just try to avoid Chinese stuff when possible.
In my experience, it was more about beating metrics in PageSpeed Insights and Pingdom, rather than actually thinking about the cost/risk ratio for end users. Often the people that were pushing for CDN usage were SEO/marketing people believing their website would rank higher for taking steps like these (rather than working with devs and having an open conversation about trade-offs, but maybe that's just my perspective from working in digital marketing agencies, rather than companies that took time to investigate all options).
> Basically I heard from a person doing an Online Master's at the NYU Tandon School that they've been told by the faculty they can advertise their masters as a regular in person one and that the certificate doesn't state anywhere that it's an online one. On top of that, they are paying only a fraction of the cost of what an onsite master would cost there.

So you're upset that they got a better deal? Don't count other people's money.

> Not only do I find that infuriating and deceitful, I also believe that it paints NYU in such a bad light and that it's no longer what it used to be. Like, they don't even require IELTS or TOEFL, just a random Duolingo test that's whatever. The person who told me about it doesn't even speak English on a C1 Level.

If your gripe is in the quality of the program, I don't think that's for one upset person to assess.

> 1. Isn't that unfair to those doing and paying for an onsite masters?

Your gripe is with NYU; your gripe is not with the people graduating. Don't take your gripes out on a system out on people just trying to live their lives.

> 2. Isn't that deceitful in the job market?

Your gripe is with NYU; your gripe is not with the people graduating. Don't take your gripes out on a system out on people just trying to live their lives.

> If you were hiring, would you now pay as much attention to a degree from NYU?

Depending on role, I already do not place much value in masters degrees.

> What if the degree holder tried to fool you about how they received it?

If the program is a master's, it's a masters. It's not for some random upset person to decide the validity of that masters.
It's not just Facebook that "failed" to build the so-called superapps, none of Western private chat apps company had done it, let alone social media, or any app from anyone with strong C-class leadership and lean bureaucracy for that matter.

The way those "superapps" grow the "apps" is middle management doing his personal projects on corporate microservice infrastructure and IC hire upper management succumbing to bureaucracy. Thanks to bureaucracy, some brand integrity is maintained, and that kind of makes money anyway as company side gigs. After it goes garbage in and out of translation, the whole company doings end up on BBC as Oriental wonder superapps.

SoftBank subsidiary owns LINE. So do Masayoshi Son even know how many individual sub-apps there are or who's under who running what? I highly doubt it. And I also highly doubt a control freak like Musk can even bear that kind of situation; he'd personally dragged out a server rack out of an NTT datacenter without going through rituals and ceremonies, which made a web article by itself. None of superapp operators seem to have that kind of boss.
Uptrackr- A get Upwork gig alerts without having to always be on Upwork
As a freelancer on Upwork, I sometimes miss applying for jobs I know I'm well qualified for, but why is this?, Simple, I wasn't online when the gig was posted and a freelancer who saw the job first jumped on it.
This is why I built Uptrackr, so that even if you aren't online on Upwork, you still receive Upwork (base on your filters) alerts as soon as they are posted. Please do try it out and let me know what you think.
Oddly enough people are self-regulating, so few people are having children now because modern economics makes it a bad idea for most people .

In my grandfather's time you could work a normal job and buy yourself a three-bedroom house in what's now one of the most expensive cities in America.

If I wanted to buy the same house at the same city, me and a partner would both have to make 150k to 200k each. And even then we'd barely be middle class, we wouldn't really be doing exceptionally well.

Homeownership shouldn't be regulated to the top 5% of income earners.

However I don't realistically imagine a tech utopia. I think we're headed towards unholy levels of income inequality. And income inequality isn't a problem by itself. Hypothetically if Billy Bob makes 60k a year, but he owns a house worth 400k and he's able to leave it to his kids, that's just fine .

The problem emerges when he's renting his home from a mega corporation that raises rent by 15% per year, until he ends up either homeless ( unhoused, shelter challenged, pick your semantic softening) or sharing a room with 2 other people.

It's a complicated problem with no clear solution.
