The difference is those places could be relocated to where all the other warehouses are, out in the boonies, rather in the city where we want housing and business. The only places that can't move are repair shops, which have a much smaller footprint than an entire dealership and are thus not a problem to keep around

My entrepreneurial mind immediately thinks: Let's create a better solution to revolutionize this industry and make the old, expensive incumbents obsolete. We can drive to the affected car dealers and migrate them one by one.

From a user's perspective it wouldn't be a phone worth buying if those SDKs weren't provided. Why do we have to accept Apple's framing that SDKs are a gift bestowed upon developers rather than an essential part of the software ecosystem that users are buying into?

Third party apps can't exist without the SDK, but the iPhone wouldn't be viable without third party apps. Who makes money in this arrangement has nothing to do with what's fair and everything to do with who has more power.

Sorta-related: manual-transmission cars. About a year ago, my girlfriend found a VW Jetta that she liked on the BMW lot with a manual-transmission. She offered the dealership about 60% of what they were asking. The dealer strongly rejected the offer, even laughed at it. My GF and I walked away. The dealer called back a few days and accepted her original offer. They were never gonna sell that car with the manual-transmission and they knew it. The only downside is that she's never gonna be able to re-sell the car, either.

There also isn't space to grow. It's not like running a dealership with hyper efficiency is going to lead to being able to open another dealership. The market is largely saturated and in the rare event that an existing dealership comes for sale, you'll be competing with massive PE-backed conglomerates that can pay nonsense prices for them.
That has always been my experience at car dealerships regardless of the status of their computer system.

Basic SSH Bruteforce Attack Tool in less than 100 lines of C++
Mainline OS's have been 64bit for about 15-20 years by this point, the point is to trim parts of X86 that isn't used when running a 64bit OS.

Notice that only 32bit kernel/R-0 is removed, but not usermode/R-3 so even when reducing this your 64bit Windows will still run clean 32bit software built for Win95 from the 90s.

Even today you need to run a virtualized 32bit OS to run old 16bit software (the negative part is if you still run a virtualized 32bit OS then it'll need to be emulated instead of HW virtualized if the virtualization solutions allowed that).

I certainly get that itch sometimes after the person at the coffee shop asks me if I've downloaded the app for the 50th time. No, I don't want 45 apps on my phone just so I can get a tiny discount or a free coffee each year.

Regarding the comment on asking friends. I think that has some value, but it assumes that you know someone for everything you're interested in or that they have the same kind of purchasing power or ideas as you. The Internet can be helpful there if you're interested in the best bang for the buck for a newbie, or the best product period once you've spent more time.
If so many people were buying non-FDA approved drugs that drug-makers stopped pursuing FDA approval, I think that would be quite indicative that there are some serious issues with the FDA process. At a minimum, that would demonstrate severe system mistrust. Some pressure to improve might be good for them. If the FDA process were bad enough, there would also be a possibility of new standards bodies emerging to provide some third party system. FDA could learn from these and adapt to be better.

I just can't imagine that people would widespread start using drugs that aren't approved though. That's definitely something to watch out for though.
I'd rather we remove laws that ban direct sales.

I find Indian English fascinating as a tangent to my learning Hindi. From grammatical/auxiliary word 'errors' or quirks that you can relate to Hindi (and probably other Indic languages, I'm just not familiar) to vocabulary or usage that's not incorrect at all, it's just extremely quaint sounding or rare in British English, but for whatever reason so much more common in IE.

(I can't think of a good example for the latter at the moment, for the former I mean things like 'I myself have noticed this' or 'it's common in Indian English only'.)

It also provides one of my favourite words/concepts (which isn't quite an example of the second point as I meant it): timepass. Something you do to pass the time, or a (not exactly positive, nor negative) review of something that served that purpose.

Lots of others mentioned key downsides of QR codes that make them generally unsuitable for this purpose (they are stateless, trivially copied, easily fouled from repeated use, too slow because of fundamental optical constraints, require a 100% available centralized ledger/don't work while the reader is offline, etc. etc.) but I'd just point out that decades of R&D have gone into making these systems work well at scale at the busiest train stations in the world, and QR codes came up short. Here is a glimpse of early R&D efforts that went into this: https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/development/tech/pdf_6/tec-06-40-... - it covers some of the technical requirements these systems fulfill.
> half the cars listed in the system are phantoms

How? Like, they order a certain number of cars from the dealership--do they just trickle in randomly? Do they forget to log sales? I get misplacing where the car is, but whether it is?

Granted, I have friends who work at rental-car companies, and the level of shitshow they aspire to is truly inspiring.
Seems pretty interesting and pizza-ish (unlike Chicago pizza which is only interesting). Yeah, I would call it focaccia al pomodoro perhaps. But if you consider that New York-style pizza is commonly sold by bakeries in Italy, and it's considered to be pizza (it's simply called "tall" pizza, and I think it's an independent reinvention but don't quote me on that), I think 19th century Neapolitan pizza would be okay in the rest of Italy as well.

On the other hand, Hawaiian pizza is definitely pizza, the question is only whether the topping makes a good combination.

What competition? We are talking about ford. It's not like these dealers are making ford vehicles or getting different prices from the manufacture.

The competition is that besides ford there's going to be a GM, stellates, and Audi lot (probably).

If we want more competition, we get it not by having dealers competing over who can screw you the most with the best hidden fee, we get it by adding more car manufacturers.

> From a strictly mechanical point of view, the brain is a syncytium. While the electrical component of a spike that invades the synapse is chemically transformed into a vesicle message, the mechanical portion of the spike is transformed and propagated into and across the synapse in a way dictated by the mechanical impedance of the local membrane, cytoskeleton, and synaptic matrix.

I always hear that the brain doesn't do back-propagation the way that NNs are trained, but why are we so sure of that? This reads to me like a potential communication channel for doing backprop.
Let's assume you're only selling what's on the lot, and you're not running some complex network operation where you care about other dealerships' stock.

Googling tells me the average car salesman sells 8-10 cars per month. Maybe more for a 'high volume' dealership but certainly less than 1 car per day.

I would think the paperwork to sell a single car would take substantially less than 8 hours for an experienced worker to complete.
Yea, I was always a "never get your car serviced at the stealership" snob, until I moved homes. Now I'm in a different city and I haven't found a trustable mechanic yet, so for things I can't repair myself, I'm going to bring it to the dealership.

not a monopoly per se, but "forced demand"
Enterprise vendors have gotten better at locking in customers on multi-year contracts which takes away some of the biggest upside to chipping away at the market. Often a challenger will come in and snag a few smaller deals but the Monopoly has a plethora of options to swat it away - rev up their larger more experienced product team to compete, lobby for regulation, poach from the challenger, acquire the challenger, tank prices in the one area the challenger has traction, and much more.

No, they only exist because state laws prevented manufacturers from selling directly to customers.
I actually agree with the last paragraph. It does make some sense to have some sort of reciprocity with other trusted nation-states. However, there is obviously going to be some forum shopping as a result, and the country with the lowest bar (as opposed to the highest standards) is going to become the one that bears the lion’s share of the evaluation burden.

If we're going to do this, the nations involved should have a rotation, so that 1/you can't predict which nation is going to get a particular evaluation job and 2/to eliminate the "free rider" problem (which exists today in other contexts, such as unfairly burdening the USA with the majority of Western defense spending).
You can learn to read cursive in a few hours. It's not like they are writing in Mandarin, most of the letters are identical. Complaining about it is culture war virtue signaling.

If even after stopping you from linking to your own site Amazon still fears their customers will price shop by their own accord then:

a) Amazon is implicitly admitting that their shopping platform is not so special: if customers could find cheaper suppliers of your product that would be enough for Amazon to be outcompeted.

b) Amazon is indisputably engaging in anticompetitive practices by forbidding you from even selling at a cheaper price with the only justification of "we do not want price competition to even exist"

I don't have a problem with cheap tools. The problem is that lots of the crimpers sold for dupont just are not designed for them at all. It makes a big difference for both how long it takes (these tiny connectors move around a bunch) and just a minimum level of crimp quality.
If you apply a constant current to a capacitor, the voltage across the capacitor will increase linearly as the capacitor stores energy in the electric field.

If you apply a constant voltage to an inductor, the current through the inductor will increase linearly as the inductor stores energy in the magnetic field.

Perhaps part of why the intuition can break down is that in real life, inductors tend to be much "leakier" energy storage devices than capacitors. If you store some energy in an inductor and then change the voltage across it to zero (practically: short its terminals together), in theory a perfect inductor will maintain a constant current forever and the energy stored does not change. In practice inductors (with an exception for things like superconducting magnets) are made from wire that has a resistance, and so the current in a real shorted inductor will eventually decay to zero. This means that in practical terms inductors are mostly only useful for short term energy storage. On the other hand, real-life insulating materials (like air, vacuum, or Teflon) can can be pretty close to perfect insulators allowing real capacitors to store energy more or less indefinitely... certainly on timescales of years.
Not without occasional problems. It shows how much original team cares about the product though.
