This article is much of what's wrong in discourse. First it calls its opponents silly and stupid ("inane"), then is labels the opposing side of spreading "anti-EV myths", and then it actually examines the arguments and finds that they're actually valid.

Managers Own Your Job Satisfaction, Not Your Happiness
Well, this also needs to be on website publishers who use ads from vendors that don't guarantee that the ads are not scams. Bad ads on any site should have equal treatment to bad content, and should be considered as published by that site (not by the actual ad vendor, i.e., no way to shift responsibility, only to share).

That is, what we need is a rule: N scam ad impressions on my blog (even if they come from a third-party ad provider) = knock-knock from the police at my door as if I were writing scammy blog articles.

I did exactly the same product like 4 years ago.

Twilio, voice app etc. But I was so lazy to do a proper marketing and sales.

However I had some ideas that I can share with you if you want:) For free ofc!

Wish you all the luck! Contrast with nice product! Super good!
Scientific American editor steps down after election comments draw backlash
I built it and tried it out a bit with Godot on Linux. It seems OK (the UI is a bit on the "- how many widgets do you want? - yes" side), but also a bit janky. Trying to change the font for the editor didn't work, hovering over a variable to see its value either does nothing (but there is a sub-second cursor change that indicates something is supposed to happen) or it shows an error from GDB about trying to use an expression with a type or keyword (so there was an intent to show a value on a tooltip, it is just broken) - doubleclicking on a variable does add it in some panel with its current value and a timestamp, so the functionality for reading values/expressions from the UI is there too, just not done in the same way as the tooltips.

If polished a bit it could be useful, though from all the frontends i've tried the one i disliked the least (none are great) is Gede[0] (which i just noticed had a new release a few hours ago) as it has a very simple and straightforward UI and while it doesn't expose much functionality, what exposes seem to work fine without bugs.

Seems like five reasonable arguments about EVs and how to admit that yes, that's an issue but here are some reasons for optimism going forward, and one bad argument that no one makes.

I guess that's a bad headline though.
Well, it's true that political parties/candidates don't tell the truth about themselves but they often point true things about their political opponents.
I think it's better if someone is allowed to pay for an ad pointing out someone's voting record, their past, their connections. Bringing attention to something has value as people can then verify the claim if they wish.

>But imprisonment or execution for studying the 'wrong' thing?

This is extremely simple. Israel openly and proudly kills Iranian scientists, at least 5 were killed in last decades, precisely for the reason of their scientific work.

What, there are other reasons why this is a very right thing to do, am I right? I guess you will present me with lots of reasons why these scientists should have been killed.

We clearly got Good and Bad scientists in this world. The ones that the West kills are Bad.
The ones that USSR once killed are Good.

Then again, spout pouches are easy enough to get in your own livery, and filling stations run anywhere from USD 1'500 to USD 45'000 depending upon how many pouches you plan on filling per setup op. I'll have to see if Shnur has any CoCoCo house branded goods.

Yeah it seems like just another misguided attempt at fixing some issue by the EU. The principal is nice, but the effects and implementation is garbage.
Not addressed: greater curb weight for the same size chassis means more momentum in crashes which means greater danger for occupants of other cars, pedestrians, cyclists, etc. Also it means greater wear and tear on tires and pavement, which itself is a source of pollution.

At the end of the day, EVs will be better than ICE, but they won't be a magic pill for all the problems caused by having lots and lots of cars.

> I think breaking a law is more unethical than not breaking a law.

It sounds like a mismatch of definition, but I doubt you're ambivalent about a behavior right until the moment it becomes illegal, after which you think it unethical. Law is the codification and enforcement of a social contract, not the creation of it.

A trojan horse if I ever saw one. Getting $150m worth of consultancy to harden whatever MS products were already there would be one thing. But getting it in the form of time trials is the ultimate "let me build the tallest, most impermeable wall around your castle and then charge you to not fill that with water".
Thanks! so, you can add an "offline message" that is displayed when your link is offline. In that case, adding a Calendly link to that message might make sense. Or simply "I'm typically online 12pm-4pm for walk-ins" etc.

Designing a voting system that requires an informed objective voter is hard but not impossible.

It would be fun to run a test system in parallel. Try different thing in different locations with each election. (results discarded)

Say, if you want a person to go places and do several things. Surely if you don't pay them for the work you don't get to complaint about quality?

Voting for issues as well or in stead of candidates seems needed. We now have a process to hire an employee. Letting the new hire (temp) figure out how to is pretty silly. They should know what we want. (and get fired if they refuse) Adjusting salary to performance (by popular vote) also seems good.

Lots of bad ideas we can try without doing much harm.

edit:

I forgot, as developers we should attempt to solve the puzzle in code. Voting on things is not new terrain but there remains lots to explore.

>Yes, if the power fails, the chargers won't work anymore, but neither will any of the gas station gas pumps

When I was young, some gas stations has hand pumps for use of power failures. Is that no longer the case ? I have not heard about hand pumps in decades.

To me, the largest argument is the purchase expense and maintenance. Maintenance is not even mentioned.

In theory maintenance of EVs should be far less than Fossil Fuel vehicles. But time and time again I see articles stating maintenance is far more expensive. This is something I do not understand. I remember seeing articles (maybe ads) ages ago about maintenance of EVs from 100+ years ago, that was the main reason cited to purchase an EV back then, less maintenance and much cleaner.

As for rebates, with the US Election, the idiot that won stated many times he wants to eliminate all incentive for EVs. Not sure if it will really happen, but something people looking into an EV should be aware of.
NB: As the article mentions concerns about burn-in, this doesn't seem to be an issue for e-ink devices.

Many ship with a standard image or set of images displayed when powered off or suspended. Presumably those display for long periods of time. My experience over ~3 years with a similar Onyx BOOX device has been that those images don't burn in at all.

What is experienced is temporary ghosting which varies by display mode (these can be set either globally or per application), when partial refreshes are made. The solution is to do a full refresh every so often, for which there are a number of built-in settings, or which can be triggered manually on the tablet.

For either the author here or others looking to implement similar projects, you can very likely safely skip any consideration of burn-in, though if your interest is in crystal-clear display, full refresh can be used. Particularly when display updates are infrequent, say, < 1/minute, or any longer period.
That doesn't sound like a lot of fun, and I wonder if it is reasonable to ask from maintainers who do this work in their spare time.
The pricing page is incredibly misleading if not outright illegal.

At the top of the pricing page you show that it's $9 a month to have 10 links and enable round-robin call handling, but looking at the FAQs at the bottom, it's actually $9 a month PER USER:

> OnAir costs as low as $9/user/month. This price is per user, per month. Other pricing plans are displayed on this page. Higher enterprise plans are available starting at $250/month for up to 50 users.

This means that for $9, you actually do NOT get round-robin, since you'd need to pay at least $18 (2 users) to benefit from it.

Similarly the 10 links make it seem like you can have links to reach 10 people, but once again this would in fact cost $90 a month.
Alternate Timelines Can't Help You, Quantum Physicists Say
There is diminishing returns once you have enough money to spread your message.
The problems arise when you don't have a way to spread it at all.
It's not always a better funded who wins anyway. The last US election are the prime example: Democrats significantly outspent Trump and lost. I am sure every American have heard both sides as well: their message and their attacks on their opponent. I think more information is better for democracy in general. Removing political ads cuts in in favor of incumbents, who in EU often control other (than the Internet) media.

If security and independence isn't part of your "preparedness" maybe check your privilege :)
This is very interesting. Have you got any references describing this approach?
I disagree- presumably if an algorithm or hardware is optimized for a certain class of problem it really is good at it and always will be- which is still useful if you are actually using it for that. It’s just “studying for the test”- something I would expect to happen even if it is a bit misleading.

VW cheated such that the low emissions were only active during the test- it’s not that it was optimized for low emissions under the conditions they test for, but that you could not get those low emissions under any conditions in the real world. That's "cheating on the test" not "studying for the test."
I'm not sure I can accept their calculations. For example, I use "I do not care about cookies" + "Cookie AutoDelete". The first one claims it accepts only necessary cookies, closing or hiding all banners, while the second deletes all cookies when I leave the site.

I spend ~0sec on these banners. How many are there people like me? The authors say nothing about this solution and it seems to me that they are not aware of the possibility of the automation. They just assume that each banner costs 5 seconds.

Why 5 seconds? It is an eternity, to pick "reject" and click on it would take 0.5 seconds or so, wouldn't it? Yeah, I know, there are sites that do not allow just reject all and force you to uncheck a several dozen of checkboxes one by one, but these sites eat much more time than 5 seconds, it is more like 50 seconds. Maybe 5 seconds is an average value across all sites? But how it was calculated?

But I agree, that the situation is stupid. It would be better to have a standard API common for all sites, that will allow addons to accept and reject cookies based on the user settings.
For now.

> good catchy songs that are also objectively bad

"Objectively bad"? What are the "objective criteria" they're using? I'd argue that no art can be "objectively bad". That's not how art works.
>“You can’t come here” is not fine, and thankfully infeasible.

If a city feels its culture or inhabitants quality of life is being adversely affected by tourism then it is fine to control the numbers.

If you look at places like Venice part of the criticism was the hordes of people arriving that don't spend any money. They bring packed lunches and just clog the place up. There are plenty of products and services that manage demand by increasing prices, I can't see why these places should be any different.

Luckily it is feasible.
About the next year the joint computer facility (i.e. non-EE/CS) got a VAX but I never had a particular reason to get an account.

I doubt Yubikey would help without some fancy setup. 2FA is required to sign into PyPI but that's it. When PyPI rolled it out I thought you'd have to use 2FA every time you publish. I thought they were taking security seriously. But no, you get your API token, save it to your computer, forget about it, and you can publish your packages forever. Now you can have Github automatically publish your packages. That's not any improvement to security. My Google security key is just collecting dust.

It's easy to get thrown off by the fact that it uses Diffie-Hellman in two places: 3DH for the original key exchange, but then also as part of the continuing key stream. There is only one hash ratchet, but occasionally each party will generate another DH keypair, ratcheting the key stream forward [1].

The hash ratchet protects new messages, but if the hash key is compromised at one point in time, an attacker can derive all future message keys indefinitely. The DH ratchet defeats that by generating a new key. If the attacker can't get that key, they lose the chain, making the protocol self healing against point-in-time key compromises.

Apparently I can find some matches for games that start like that between very strong players [1], so my hypothesis that the model may just be predicting bad moves on purpose seems wobbly, although having stockfish at the lowest level play as the supposedly very strong opponent may still be throwing the model off somewhat. In the charts the first few moves the model makes seem decent, if I'm interpreting these charts right, and after a few of those things seem to start going wrong.

Either way it's worth repeating the experiment imo, tweaking some of these variables (prompt guidance, stockfish strength, starting position, the name of the supposed players, etc.).

Ask HN: What features do you look for in an AI chatbot for support?
I am Curious to know what features are most important when choosing an AI chatbot for customer support. Share your thoughts!
I know that HN is generally not sympathetic towards Microsoft, but there are other ways to look at this story too, assuming that the basic facts are correct.

Microsoft royally messed up on security of their govt customers. The CISA report from earlier this year is damning. The hack into their own identity systems would have gone undetected but for sharp-eyed sysadmins at the State Department, who happened to have the right license entitlement for logging that let them spot this.

Microsoft then, faced with what could have been a calamitous do-not-use order from Uncle Sam, had no choice but to offer up a lot of their security entitlements to their fed customers for free, to try and stop any defections.

You could interpret this as an attempt to achieve lockin, and perhaps in the long run that might happen, but I dont know that it was the prima facie reason.
The rhetoric is indeed the only difference. The same level of insanity, coded differently, makes up a good chunk of non-technical HN.
Qt GUI itself can use gdb/ldb and display a fair amount of data structures from the standard library.

Note that gdb is also scriptable with python, so you can easily register your own printers.
The critical difference with this architecture is that it doesn’t require key discovery or identity mapping: those are properties of the key infrastructure, similarly to the Web PKI.

Your self-signed app analogy is apt: self-signing without a strong claimant identity proof is a solution, but a much weaker one than we wanted.
To the companies out there with shitty cookie banners: just stop tracking. No more banner, no annoyed users, better engagement of your end users.
Hey. A single user can indeed use round-robin; they can connect multiple devices (up to 3 on a single license Basic Plan). In that sense, a single user can have round-robin among three mobile phones. Having said that, will think more on how to make this more clear.

"security" is a best-effort process, not a deliverable. This is asking to deliver the moon on a gloden plate.

If Australia wants to do that, they would have to define _TECHNICAL_ limits on this best-effort... and over there, it will probably end up baldy: because you will have, very probably, very wrong 'limits' favoring unfairly some tech from others.

That said, there is the 'obvious': if you use non-open source, or ultra-complex/big open source (including the SDK), and you don't want to understand security best-effort requires _STABLE MACHINE CODE_, you are a gonner.
Wow, this was super helpful!

Automatic formatters and pretty printers never seem to be able to make the exceptions necessary for me to use them. For example, I want the contents of all my HTML tags to be formatted as one long line (think of <p> tags), except when they happen to contain a SQL statement which I want to remain formatted exactly as written.
As someone driving EVs for more than 10 years; maintenance is far less. The articles claiming maintenance is more expensive on EVs are lying. What has happened is there has been a non-scientific survey by Consumer Reports showing people self reporting more problems with EVs. But most of that can be chalked up to going through a period with A) brand new companies like Rivian and Lucid launching their first vehicles and B) EVs from legacy auto companies being brand new models; typically brand new models have more issues than the same model a few years later.

But note that those problems are warranty issues, as in no cost to the owner.

> Yes, refueling for that gas car is quick, but it's also inconvenient, particularly if you live somewhere where all the gas stations keep closing down.

But it then links to an article saying gas stations close down because of a refocus to EVs, making it an argument against EVs.
