I love the i3 but there were some substantial compromises.

On the manufacturing side: For weight and space reasons its the only non sports car to have ever been built with a carbon fiber monocoque which is pretty expensive compared to a traditional unibody. Extremely cool but not a realistic benchmark for cheap, mass-market vehicles.

User experience wise: Its a great car until the battery starts getting low. The range extender can't put out the same power as the battery so it goes into a fairly severe limp mode until it charges. The range extender is pretty inefficient in part because it just spins a generator instead of the wheels directly, so it only gets ~40mpg on gas. It also has an extremely small gas tank (2.4 gal) so the range extender only buys you another 120 or so miles before you have to stop and refill. It also only supports 50kWh charging so fast charging is not very fast at all.
The phrasing could be bad, given that it's a (likely) ESL source: they might mean it's one of the largest cyberattacks on Iran in history.

(I don't have a factual opinion on the claim, only that this phrasing interpretation seems possible to me.)
That cuts both ways. Iran has also doing plenty to provoke Israel, for years - though they mostly do it through proxies. (But chanting "Death to Israel" at the inauguration of their president? That is not a benign, neutral act.)

Thanks for the link, I've been looking for that. Without reviewing it in depth - I appreciate any pointers - it looks like going by the tables on page 26, the requirement for "light trucks" (therefore including SUVs) is also higher than what can be achieved without a hybrid system. I see similar tables near the end seemingly showing the same thing that I think your 55mpg number came from.
Fully automated? I don't think so, and it falls apart suprisingly quickly. To give an example:

All variables (well, in "classical COBOL" at least) are global variables. Since memory is constrained, a really common idiom is to have great swathes of punned, overlayed variables; in C terms it would be unioned structs. Subroutine A would have a var A-TEMPS divided into A-TEMP-VAR1 and A-TEMP-VAR2. Since routine B isn't on the same call path, that _same area_ could be also divided into B-TEMPS, B-TEMP-X, B-RESULT, and C-MOVEIN (because hey, code got changed). When you port this mess to Java you can (a) emulate unions with mind-boggling complex , huge, and fragile idioms, (b) tease out the actual code flow graphs and intent, or (c) some combination.

And no, automated doesn't go very far for (b); although the computer might be able to figure out that March doesn't have a leap day and so this path won't execute because of that, it _is_ the end of a quarter and so has an artificial closing-day tacked on _if_ this is for subsidiary Foo, but not Bar because they have a 0-day on the following month. Too many combinations to exhaustively compute, and requires a lot of human smarts to prune possibilities.

But they’re not stopping me from supporting creators. I can go to Patreon.com on my iPhone right now and subscribe to any creator without Apple’s fees. If they took their app off the App Store tomorrow I will continue to be able to have all of the functionality because they have a functioning mobile website that allows me to do everything I want to do. The web is a perfectly suitable alternative here and it’s working, so why exactly do they need to be on a store with rules they don’t agree with?

It'd seem to me that a society that values art would find a way to keep artists secure economically while letting as many people as possible enjoy their work. I tend to think of piracy as a scapegoat for the draining of the working and middle class's purchasing power. Napster and Spotify came along as people were beginning to find it prohibitively expensive to drop $20 on an album. People would pay if they could (some do, if vinyl sales are anything to go by).

If you're right, what's stopping Apple from providing the same service while also granting fair access to third-parties?

If Apple's main product differentiation is customer satisfaction, then in-theory they won't suffer as much from exposure to competition. As we've seen with the App Store on MacOS and AppleTV though, Apple cannot rely on just their premium profile to push a service. If they don't force people through the App Store a-la iOS, they can't get developers to reliably use it.
also to your point about services removing illegal stuff here the NYT : “ During the first full month of the new ownership, the company suspended nearly 300,000 accounts for violating “child sexual exploitation” policies, 57 percent more than usual, the company said. The effort accelerated in January, Twitter said, when it suspended 404,000 accounts”

Genuinely curious as to why this was submitted to HN, and even more so why it made it to the front page. Was it written by an AI, and is being showcased as an example of such? As a good example, or a poor one, in terms of resulting quality?

It's amazing how successful they are at virtue signaling about privacy while selling your traffic to Google, the progenitor and linchpin of surveillance capitalism, for tens of billions of dollars. Laundering the reputation through the slightest bit of indirection is all it takes.
It's hilarious that Broadcom bought what was left of Computer Associates. It's like they needed to absorb that PE-with-a-tech-fig-leaf vibe.
The housing and finance markets seem like a fitting example. Under and over investment respectively fueled bubbles that fed each other until their inevitable pop took the entire economy down and required a decade of artificially suppressed rates backed by trillions in debt setting us for bigger problems when an actual economic crisis occurs (Covid). We’re still weathering this storm of financial mismanagement on a national scale. Narrowing in, housing is now being over invested in fueling a bubble while the communities houses exist in are victims of underinvestment.

Zooming back out, whatever pain comes from breaking Google up today will be less than the pain of doing so in a decade. Even more broadly, the pain of breaking up any monopoly (a matter how small) today will be less than when their breakup is as or more pressing than any of the historical antitrust cases.

As Senator John Sherman put it, "If we will not endure a king as a political power we should not endure a king over the production, transportation, and sale of any of the necessaries of life."

Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, ATT/Verizon/Tmobile, and hoards of smaller but similarly situated companies behave as kings shaping markets, acting without accountability or culpability, and shaking down the public at their whims. The gospel of the stock market has paralyzed our legislators from taking action to put these corrupt, wasteful, polluting and abusive businesses in their place or out of operation.

Microsoft was arguably the first, the case fell apart and ended up a settlement because the Judge presiding over the case violated the court code of conduct by discussing the case with the media. Something laughable in 2024.

That being said, the trial is the basis for the action taken against Google:

> However, the Circuit Court did not overturn Jackson's findings of fact, and held that traditional antitrust analysis was not equipped to consider software-related practices like browser tie-ins.

Another interesting outcome of the trail was that it established a playbook that others, namely Google, could follow to avoid antitrust litigation. I would argue that Google's ability to operate as a monopoly for so long was largely a result of the outcomes of the Microsoft trial.

The thing about that word "smallfolk", is that there is a very heavy connotation that someone remains smallfolk no matter how positively fortune smiles upon them. No matter how wealthy they might become, not even if they can ride a dragon, do they suddenly become nobles.

The people using the word to say that Kimmy D isn't smallfolk don't even understand the vocabulary they favor.
I find this is true only in certain threads. If I criticize something technical, it's generally accepted at face value. If I criticize something political, the comment ping-pongs between -2 and 2 for the next 48 hours.

Adding to other commenters' skepticism, I'm not sure this even makes sense.

I'm not an expert, but I know that regular people don't have accounts with the central bank, and I know central banks aren't responsible for operating ATMs. If there was a link between the two (eg.: interbank lending issues), it would need explaining, and I feel like it would be covered in financial news (Bloomberg, FT, etc).

There's either a lot of important detail missing, or this was written by someone who doesn't know how banking works.
>> probably because a bunch of people dealing with their cases also start disliking them personally.

More likely because those people remain naïve about the real world. In a past career I had some interaction with IP enforcement lawyers. They were stuck in the past then and have not really evolved. Their understanding of "the internet" extends only to those things discoverable via google search. Megaupload was knocked down because it was so visible. Piracy is more alive now than ever, but as it is no longer visible via Google, the likes of the MPAA and IRAA cannot see it.
> If Apple’s product is its users, who are its customers?

Anyone trying to sell something to an Apple user. And you are right that I'm being reductionist, Apple clearly makes significant profit from the devices themselves, but that revenue is not growing. The revenue that is growing is "services", "app store", and "advertising" revenue.

Apple's $20 billion a year deal with Google to be the default search engine accounts for at least 10% of its entire market capitalization. That's just revenue from one company and that's just to be the default search engine.
Playing the devil's advocate here,
I believe the rational to take 30% cut for only digital goods is that, usually digital goods have zero marginal cost. To 'manufacture' an additional digital asset, the company doesn't need to spend anything extra.

This assumption starts breaking as internet becomes more ubiquitous and for anything really outside gaming coins. Example, for every additional Spotify subscriber, Spotify needs to pay music producers as well. The economics is now very close to physical goods being sold in Temu or Amazon.

I generally don't even like syntax highlighting for Markdown. I find having the text jump around because it became bold or italicized distracting, and it's even worse when a header is suddenly a larger size and everything below it is pushed down the screen.

Markdown is simple, and I like working with it simply.

I suppose there is some value in having the more complicated aspects, like images and tables, checked for syntax so you can see if you've made a mistake, but I run a macro to generate those anyway, so I'm fairly confident in the result.

I think that there is some value in that friction. It used to tell us, the readers, that the narrator believed enough in what he wanted to tell to invest some non-negligible amount of time and energy. The final effect was that it maintained a sane ratio of stories worth reading over stories worth nothing. It kept a decent signal-to-noise ratio. In the future stories worth reading will be lost in a sea of regurgitated garbage.

Technically, I suppose. In reality, no. You aren't allowed to use almost all of those outlets.

Sure, but there is a huge number of people who can't. For them, charging at commercial stations is the only option, so how available that is, and how they work, might be the most important consideration.

I find it amusing that the motivation for creating a complex font program that supports syntax highlighting internally is the desire to avoid a complex syntax highlighter JavaScript library. The complexity is still there; it's just been moved around.

Edit: Perhaps this is a reminder that custom fonts are a potential attack vector for security-sensitive websites since font rendering runs highly-complex programs, probably in a language that isn't memory safe.

I guess I wasn't very clear. I didnt mean to say, as a historical matter, were irrelevant.

I meant to say the idea of a parser generator is a solution to a problem that that real world langs don't really have. When writing a programming language, your issue isnt how much time the parser is going to take to write, or how complex it's going to be. The parser is a relatively trivial part of the problem.

Due to language designers often being taught to develop langauges in this fashion, many have relied on these tools. But the modern view of compliers as "programming langauge UIs" and the focus on DX, i'd argue its actively pathological to use a parser generator.

Much academic work has, til recently, focused on these areas -- whereas today, the bulk of the difficulty is in understanding SSA/LLVM/ARM/Basic Optimizatiosn/etc. details which are "boring, circumstantial" etc. and not really research projects. I was just pointing this out since a lot of people, myself included, go down the EBNF parser-generator rabbit hole and think inventing a langauge is some formal exercise -- when the reality is the opposite: it's standard programming-engineering work.
