As a Canadian living near the border (as many Canadians are!), I would often drive into the US for shopping. There are a number of towns that seem dedicated to serving Canadians, like Watertown, NY. I've found that often the US border guards would be much nicer than the Canadian border guards, probably because the Canadians are the ones that need to deal with the customs rules (Canadians aren't trying to smuggle their new purchases back to the US without paying tax!).

I haven't been on a shopping trip like that in a while though, and I find it hard to believe I'll ever do it again now. I feel bad for Watertown, but with the tariffs and the risk of detention, its not worth it.

I'm sorry, what? You think that stretches credulity?

Oh man you must be lucky to not live around these types of people.

I remember the first time I was told I was going to burn in hell for eternity. At my first job at 16 by some coworkers in their 20s and 30s because I wasn't participating in their constant religion talk so it made it clear I wasn't part of "the group".
Excellent news, not just because im banking my early retirement on NIO and BYD.

Hardly a surprise, the market is growing rapidly, so nothing strange that the first player is no longer the only player. Nevertheless it was Tesla that proved viability of EVs and has courage to create totally new market segment. We've seen this in the IT several times, Commodore, Atari, IBM (as a hardware producer, not consulting company as it is now) had their time coming up with a No 1. product and then others came.

"forced"? Nothing but greed and a race to the bottom forced their hands.
One of our current projects is to create a partial sync model so that self hosted appviews can be run more cheaply. After that, it’s really just the cost of physics
If only US had multiple tesla tier EV manufacturers. Hedging globla US EV reputation on one company and one man is ridiculous situation to be in.
It seems that internal politics in the legacy companies is really against EVs. My own conspiracy theory is this is because of the internal prestige of the engine teams. Toyota are still stuck on hydrogen delusions, although they produce awesome hybrids that are widely used as taxis.

Koreans are doing great though: Hyundai Ioniqs are now EV-only.
This, kids, is a fine example of the cost of pride as it relates to the very important task of any and all (voting age) citizens of any country.

"Apple knows best for us" is something I've gotten very tired of over the years.

This example might be apples-and-oranges when it comes to the protecting Apple protecting iMessage, but they often rob the user of the choice that other manufacturers offer.

For example: Hotspot. Android hotspot can be perma-on. iPhone hotspot cannot. It will always switch itself off after some time of non-use. When I asked an Apple employee about this (This was not his dept), his understanding was that it was for not-clogging up Wifi at-scale, and for users who forget to turn it off. But what about the users who want it on always, who pay their cell provider for the biggest pacakge? My computer goes to sleep, and the hotspot turns off and I have to go manually switching it back on because "Apple knows better". I want those choices.
Yes, it shows they weren't manipulating NASA for political points.

-O3 isn't buggy on either GCC or Clang. Are you thinking of -Ofast and/or -ffast-math that disregard standards compliance? Those aren't part of -O3.
But with reading it's more of an active or deliberate choice. With listening or watching it "just happens" naturally as the medium progresses.

I'm also a slow learner (and reader) so I think reading also suits me better because I allows me to control the pace better.
Out of morbid curiosity, do you have an extra MBP because of getting to keep one (or buy back for cheap) from a past job?

I'm asking because I've also accumulated some Mac's in my career and I see others also offering them up in this thread. I've always wondered how common it was to accrue them from past tech companies.
The snob's take is bad, but there is a point of agreement I have with one aspect of audiobooks: it's impossible to remember details about things that fall outside your native language, if you haven't already studied them. For example, I listened to a nonfiction audiobook about Xi Jinping. I could tell you the broad strokes of the people in his orbit from the late 1970s on, but I have no idea how to spell or even Google them effectively, because I never read them--I only heard them.

The same goes for foreign concepts/places/etc., for me at least there is no substitute for reading when it comes to retention and recall of material.
Diabetics have a sensor on their bodies that speaks Bluetooth. It talks to their phones (running eg. xDrip). The phone then communicates this to the watch.

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted; those are legitimate complaints if you’re coming from Windows. I felt the same way years ago, when I switched (2014-ish).

What about Finder do you not like? It’s pretty customizable. Also, I use Spotlight (Command + Space) more than Finder, I think – it’s probably the number one killer day-to-day feature. Calculator, file search, metadata search, web search all rolled into one.

The other major thing I appreciate about MacOS is that it still exposes lower-level system and device settings if you need it to. Not to the extent of Linux, obviously, but I think they’ve struck a good balance between abstracting the magic and revealing what’s behind the curtain.

In contrast, I have a Windows 10 gaming desktop; that’s literally its only purpose in life, to launch Steam. Granted, at this point I’m very unfamiliar with Windows, having ceased major use of it after Windows 7, but I feel like it hides too much. For example, a few weeks ago I had a lengthy ISP outage, and so I wanted to use my iPhone’s hotspot to get connectivity. Everything I read online said it was as simple as plugging the phone in and accepting the connection, but that wasn’t my experience. Before you blame Apple, this isn’t the crux of the story. I eventually got it to work by disabling the network adapter on my PC. What became difficult was re-enabling it the next day, when my ISP had restored service. I’ve since learned that Device Manager still exists, but I swear I couldn’t find it on that day. The disabled adapter didn’t appear in any of the various Network-related options I looked through, and the only way I got it to work was by finding an option to reset networking settings. On a Mac, the disabled adapter would still be visible in the list, and could easily be re-enabled.
I'm surprised fraud[1] hasn't been raised more in the Horizon IT scandal, given that some of the bugs involved duplicating transactions, and some of these bugs had been uncovered during testing.

i.e. The Post Office/Fujitsu was claiming money from sub-postmasters based on transaction records that they already had good cause to suspect were potentially bogus.

[1] Edit: I mean fraud perpetrated by the Post Office/Fujitsu, rather than fraud perpetrated by the sub-postmasters.

Trapping misbehaving bots in an AI Labyrinth
If the rents go up and a native couple that still remembers the living standards of their parents is forced to raise a family in two rooms, they will not have children. Immigrants used to that situation might.

There are other solutions, e.g. that the wealthy boomers pay with their houses for their retirements or are forced to rent out their huge properties.

The retirement ponzi scheme needs to stop at some point anyway. With automation one might also need fewer workers.

Most importantly, many immigrants receive social security and are not employed.
The real benefit of doc writing isn’t for decision making it’s for education. It allows everyone at Amazon to evaluate the author’s ability to refine their “chain of thought”.

The nice side effect is the author taking 10x more time to save 10x L+1 and L+2 leaders (ie more expensive people) from spending that same time trying to understand it.

There’s also the meta element of understanding how each medium affects the way you engage with the topic, which I think can be helpful in understanding when you might want to switch and why.

That is, assuming you probably want to have more than one media type in order to round out your understanding.
This is country specific (as is copyright itself).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_in_architecture_in_t...

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/120

> The copyright in an architectural work that has been constructed does not include the right to prevent the making, distributing, or public display of pictures, paintings, photographs, or other pictorial representations of the work, if the building in which the work is embodied is located in or ordinarily visible from a public place.

This gets further complicated by sculptural works that are not part of the architecture of the building which have their own copyright. For example, the sculpture of lions in front of the New York Public Library are works of sculpture and not part of the architecture of the building and so photographs of them are derivative works... though that's not an issue now as they've fallen into public domain (they were the example given when I started photography as a sculpture that was often photographed along with architecture)... but are trademarked.

Then you get things like the Eiffel Tower which is public domain, but the lights (installed in 1985) are not... so a photograph of it, by night, is under copyright.

It's complicated.
AI State Management: We have structured requests, but we need structured data
Automating imessages has been an official thing in macos since ages that i know of, but it is done on a computer rather than a phone. The argument that opening up automation for imessage will increase spam does not hold, just because automation is already opened up, thus whatever spam this allows or not is already here.

EDIT: example script to run from a mac terminal:

osascript -e 'tell application "Messages" to send "$message" to buddy "+12345678" of (1st service whose service type = iMessage)'
I've seen mixed results with reading the document during the meeting. It can help with people not having read the document. But people read at different paces, and the people who put off or avoid reading before the meeting are doing so because they are slow readers or have poor comprehension or retention. Reading has a high opportunity cost for them, so they avoid it.

Asking them to read during the meeting usually results in a performance, they skim or get through as much as they can until people start saying they are done, and then they don't want to hold things up so they also announce they are done. This can happen with all slow readers, even those who would have high comprehension with multiple passes or at their own speed.

The other issue is the asymmetry of effort, which the author alludes to with "no doc => doesn't happen". Proposals require writing, but criticisms can be made verbally. You would expect a lot of the feedback to actually make the proposal worse because the proposal has been through a few write-edit cycles and the feedback is generated on-the-spot during the meeting within minutes of first reading the proposal.

If critics don't also have to write then feedback becomes a game of politics. If you ask people to give feedback on something without time to think, you will get noise. No one wants to appear bad at reading in front of their peers.

Ask HN: Why don't hiring managers provide feedback?
I have been applying for SWE positions for nearly 2 months now, at an average of 1 application per day. Of the 37% that have responded, nearly 70% have been rejections, to which I send a message thanking them for consideration and asking if they have any constructive feedback in how I might improve either my application, interviewing (if applicable), or my KSAs.

Most ghost at that point with zero response, some have explicitly replied by saying they will not give feedback at all. Only one organization gave any feedback at all, and they really took it to another level by scheduling a 30-minute call with an HR rep to have an entire feedback session.

I’m currently pivoting from a decade+ long career in government, albeit technical and involving development, and the feedback would be immensely valuable to me. It’s difficult for many of these organizations to find a person to actually request feedback from, but even when you can, seems unwilling to offer it.

Is there a liability reason here, or is it just a sheer volume problem at this point in the market?
> Quid pro quo ... inconveniencing

I think your personal take is more so that you require "interaction" in the learning process; which is extremely common and universally accepted as best way to learn stuff.

>If I don't understand I cannot move on to next step

Everytime you encounter new hard concept, you really have to actively think/interact with that information to make it yours. This is often lacking in the "lecture" style teaching. One key benefit of reading is that you can do it at your pace.

I think for audio/verbal medium, you would probably have a completely different experience if you were talking to Feynman. He have a lecture for you, and everytime you get stuck, you can interrupt him and ask follow up question or ask further. This is probably why Private tuition is so valuable (and very very often used in East Asian nation); whichever fence of preference you fall to, a someone dedicated to teaching you is an extreme advantage.

If you want an alternative, android exists. I actively want a tightly integrated system that I know works well together. I don’t want to worry “does this device really work with this other device, even if it says it’s compatible” which was a constant source of issues I had on Android.

Your desire for Apple to become an open system removes my choice to opt into a closed ecosystem, when you already have an open ecosystem to play in.
Unfortunately that table has already started changing for the worse on the particular case of the United States :(

Be strong.
I think they're being flagged for political reasons by individuals rather than breaking any specific HN rule.

However, a lot of the Trump/Tesla/Musk/environment news stories do tend to attract poor quality comments and so that can be a good reason for the story to be removed from the front page.

I've read than Dang does attempt to de-flag some of the more blatantly partisan flagging, but there does seem to be a lot of news stories about the U.S. administration these days.

I wanted to expand a little on footnote #4, regarding how CD-ROM drives weren't really standardised.

At the time, because of the lack of standardisation, there were a lot of different device drivers for different CD-ROM drives, and those would take up space. Even the boot disk that Windows 95 lets you create doesn't contain any CD-ROM drivers!

It wasn't until Windows 98 that they included CD-ROM drivers into the boot disks that you could create, and even then it had to load multiple drivers, just to make sure that the drive you were using was actually supported.

> Also: why do border officers have so much power? It seems wrong.

The US democratic process is not good at protecting small groups of disenfranchised people: Non-citizens, LGBTQ people, prisoners, etc.

Those people get the burden of making their own allies and fighting their whole lives for rights, while most voters prefer not to think about them.

Hell, black people are 12% of the population and their rights have been on the frontline for over 100 years. So many groups are even smaller.

I'm not sure if any other country does this perfectly. Rawls' veil of ignorance is extremely hard to enforce in practice, no wonder we all live in Omelas.
In 1992, I could only dream of going to the US.

When I got money and thought of travelling, I quickly realized it's too hard and humiliating to get visa, and preferred EU instead. And visa-free countries afterwards.

Then I planned to have kids and started contemplating what are costs, social security payments, public kindergartens, sick leaves, costs of ambulance (like if you break a spine), or giving a birth... and the US suddenly turned very, very unattractive. Even without these horror stories.
> if they get rid of Musk it's probably a nail in the coffin for the stock price.

It's already significantly off its peak, and Musk is now so unpopular because of his political interventions that people are firebombing Tesla dealerships and vandalizing the cars. I can't really see how that's going to be good marketing.
VW has a $20,000 EV coming soon, but I guess it remains to be seen what tariffs may be applied to it. Tariffs can hobble other manufacturer's US sales, but for Tesla to compete overseas it needs to do so on price as well as attempt to fix the Tesla brand damage that is ongoing.
I mean, at this point, do I just flag everything on the front page too? Is that the only recourse I have as a user in good faith? What other method do I have to show my displeasure with this subset of the community?
You've never gotten distracted while reading and then found that you've scanned over a bunch of text while thinking about something else?
Proprietary, and for the first half of its run, they were insanely expensive. Thin flimsy, always breaking. Short by default. They got nasty and stained quickly.

Over the years, third party cheap ones were risky. May damage port or device.

Has a stupid chip in the connector so people can't easily replicate it like a USB cable.

It was the purest example of proprietary capture in an age where the "The correct universal port" has been around for decades. The massive irony is not missed on me as they used USB mouses and keyboards to engineer a step backwards.

There's things I like about Apple, but I could never bring myself to defend the lightning cable.
I don’t see much incentive for NASA to lie. Or rather, the incentive goes the other way. The “who cares about the truth” approach would be to curry favor with the new administration by agreeing with their claims.

There’s also a world of difference between “not transparent” and the Musk/Trump approach to the truth where you’re more likely to be correct if you just assume everything they say is false.

> Have they, or have you finished all the great books that were published before the present, and now need to wait for someone to write new great books?

I know that for me, the kind of books I used to like lost appeal. I would read them multiple times, but I just do not find them pleasurable anymore. It is not about me finishing all the great books humanity wrote up to now. It is about me changing.

For the record, the same thing happened with some movies/series. They used to be super great, when I am trying to rewatch they are not.

Why the aggressive tone?

I am not expert in the US, and it has actually nothing to do with my comment, but I believe that police in the US might ask you to identify yourself in some circumstances (which is quite different from having to show an ID).

What I mentioned regarding France is that you must show an ID (passport, ID card or driving license) or face being detained at the police station when asked by police. You do not need to be a suspect of anything to be required to show an ID.
