Tobacco companies have traditionally sued everyone trying to implement any kind of policy against tobacco use. That evil oil is doing the same (with success) is not surprising to me, unfortunately. We've built a world where profits trumps everything.
The Cybertruck's Latest "Innovation": Parts That Self-Eject

Elon's $45 billion "unbreakable" metal origami experiment has reached a new milestone: every single one requires a recall because the roof trim is attempting to escape its dystopian design. The "cant rail" panels—appropriately named since they literally "can't" stay attached—are secured with what appears to be the same adhesive used on Post-it notes, but with less staying power.

Tesla's cutting-edge solution? Actually using nuts and bolts like every other manufacturer from the last century. Revolutionary! Nothing showcases disruptive innovation like hastily welding studs onto your "production-ready" vehicle because the original engineering approach involved hoping really hard that glue would work.

This eighth recall establishes the Cybertruck as Tesla's most consistent product—consistently recalled, that is. While traditional automakers waste time on extensive testing, Tesla boldly pioneers the "let customers discover the flaws" approach to quality control.

The timing couldn't be better, as owners were just mastering the art of pretending not to notice parts of their $100,000+ "future of transportation" littering highways behind them. At least the obscene gestures from passing motorists provide some entertainment while waiting for service appointments.

Perhaps next time, instead of launching cars into space, someone might suggest testing whether they can survive Earth's hostile environment—like air, roads, and reality.
There are off-chain solutions to handle most of the payment, and only put a summary on-chain. I think there are already micropayments in Brave or something.
Yes this does remind me of the old spam wars of early 2000s. Back then collaborative block lists were useful to reject senders at IP level before using a Bayesian system on the message itself.

Even though these bots are using different IPs with each request, that IP may be reused for a different website, and donating those IPs to a central system could help identify entire subnets to block.

Another trick was “tar-pitting” suspect senders (browser agent for example) to slow their message down and delay their process.

That's bad software design to generate ZIP files on the fly.

"Egg prices" is part of the left's dismissal over the right's concerns about the economy in general. Using it as the basis of a serious argument hints you have no idea what the right is thinking.
Sure, maybe in 50 years. At the moment, it's a productivity tool. Strangely, by the look of the down votes, the HN community doesn't quite understand this.

It isn't more capable than Google.

It is certainly more private than Google and capable enough to answer my daily questions. For me it is important to reduce as much as possible the entrapment from google services.
No, this is a hold yourself to a higher standard "trick". Selling of stock, walking a picket line, setting fire to property. One of these things is not like the other. Being unwilling to admit that it is happening is not good either.

For all of the millions that support MAGA but did not invade the capital, it rightly brought criticism of the movement that those that did support. The same is true when people perform violent acts of protest for any group. The violent acts will always garner the most attention while diminishing the effectiveness of the non-violent acts. Doesn't matter red/blue/purple.

I just seem to be different because I'm willing to acknowledge the fact rather than trying to write some diatribe to sweep it under the rug
>If the clearing price is $5 and someone puts in a huge sell order for $5.05 there is no reason for the clearing price to drop.

Except that the market is all game theory. If someone who bought a million shares with an ideal exit of $5.10 sees 5 million shares for sell at $5.05 it can absolutely inspire them to sell cheaper because the idea is predicting directional movements.

I design some financial software and the best way to think about it is to abstract away the idea of money and numbers. Think of it as a maze and every stock and price point combination is a doorway.

Normally a door, when you open it, you can see down the hallway to how long the next door is without actually entering the hallway. (In the stock market this is called Level II data) the impact of dark pools is that when you open a door you can't see how long it is. Except that it looks like every other hallway with a defined length, but you don't know that it is a hallway that keeps going for an undetermined amount of time. There's no way to figure out the length without entering the hallway and going as far as you can until you either reach the end or become exhausted (Not a great way to solve a maze).

Without access to the dark pool the best you can do is enter the hallway and figure out it doesn't behave as expected and move away from it.

It's a significant advantage when you are playing against other people to see the complete picture of the maze at any given time. There are entire teams of PhDs working to decode the positions of dark pools they don't have access to by analyzing option data.

The problem is many crawlers pretend to be humans. So to ban the rest of the crawlers by default, you'll have to ban humans.
How do you distinguish crawlers from regular visitors using a whitelist? As stated in the article, the crawlers show up with seemingly unique IP addresses and seemingly real user agents. It's a cat and mouse game.

Only if you operate on the scale of Cloudflare, etc. you can see which IP addresses are hitting a large number of servers in a short time span.

(I am pretty sure next they will hand out N free LLM requests per month in exchange of user machines doing the scraping if blocking gets more succesful.)

I fear the only solution in the end are CDNs, making visits expensive using challenges, or requiring users to log in.
Plex is a fork of xbmc/kodi. Did they pay those developers?

We all have bills to pay. Upping prices because I want more money isn’t a very understandable reason.

It’s not like we have any visibility into Plex’s costs. So it’s just as likely that the owner wants more profit than they have costs.

I think dogs like Chaser show in general the upper limit for dogs, at least demonstrated so far, is much higher than that of pigs.

It can be hard to compare the two since we can't compare their intelligence overall as one thing, but have to compare specific subsets, showing dogs and pigs are intelligent in different ways.

I think any claim that one is outright more intelligent than the other is dubious.
Doesn't matter that they are not. It is happening, and it is always going to be grouped together because the end goal is the same. Like it or not, that's what happens in the real world.
NATO (article 5) does not compel a member country to defend another member if attacked. This is a widely held misconception.

Eh.. Kinda? There are plenty of running 25 y/o elises with over 100k km on them. Definitely with more maintenance than normal but it'd be mostly consumables and those 100k km won't be gentle. I doubt under the same conditions even a Toyota or Honda would wear better (and they don't have to).
2 + 2 = 4

Nothing inspired or creative about it. It comes out the same every time no matter who calculates it. That’s what people want to copyright except the first 2 is other people’s art and the second 2 are the weights.

I guess I should be honored someone made a burner account just to reply these sorts of rebuttals to me while smily facing about terrorists on an article about someone who seems much closer to a benign backpacker.

I've used GitHub Pages for a long time to serve sites for free, notably https://asciiflow.com, however I have recently moved it and other sites to CloudFlare Pages - it's also got a very generous free tier and many other useful features that GH pages lacks. Setup is simple - https://github.com/lewish/asciiflow/blob/main/.github%2Fwork...

GitHub Actions is just great, and I think people overlook again how much you can do for free! As the author highlights, I use it for running workflows on a schedule, which you can use to rebuild static sites hourly, so they aren't so static after all.

There probably aren't enough of these in the wild to have very much confidence, mind you.
They also won't provide any guarantees about components continuing to work, such as booting over thunderbolt that some clouds rely on. There's an awful lot of financial risk in providing MacOS as a service.

realistically speaking Hitler Germany had an Olympic after they discriminated against yew but before it genocide was publically known and a lot of countries still took part in it

it ended up being grate propaganda for Hitler Germany with a lot of drugged German athletes winning prices, and a lot of make pretend that things aren't as bad as they are

I can't say in which state the US will be by 2028, but if not too dissimilar from today I wouldn't expect things to end up very different.

I don’t think x86 as an ISA is necessarily declining much and AMD has products with zen4c / zen5c compact cores intended to compete with Arm server products. AMD doesn’t have to pay licensing / royalties for x86 AFAIK and probably would prefer to keep x86 and not start paying arm and creating any adoption barrier form a change of ISA (however small) if they can make competitive x86 cores.

The point is that there is no way to do that. You can only do some research and say probably ya or probably na. I don't think harvesting precious metals is just for someones own benefit. This benefits everyone.
This is really, really bad.

The Ford Pinto number is the total number of deaths that the NHTSA found to have occurred between 1970 and mid-1977 (so not the full 9-year period) in rear-impact crashes that resulted in a fire.

This is not comparable to the total number of fatalities involving fire and a Cybertruck (regardless of the impact type, or lack thereof, e.g. the Las Vegas fatality was due to the guy shooting himself in the head). Not a single one of the three Cybertruck incidents would have been included in the Ford Pinto statistic because none of them were rear-impact crashes that resulted in a fire.

According to the Wikipedia article about the Pinto:

> At the time only 1% of automobile crashes would result in fire and only 4% of fatal accidents involved fire, and only 15% of fatal fire crashes are the result of rear-end collisions.

So we'd expect the total fire fatality rate to be about 6.5x the fatality rate specific to rear-end collisions that resulted in fire.

And of course, saying "Teslas are more dangerous than Ford Pintos" is very different than saying "the Tesla Cybertruck has a higher rate of fire fatalities than the Ford Pinto." Even the latter statement would be incorrect but the former is simply absurd.
Definitely a mixed bag. Lots of community derived actions which yes, potentially have some bad supply chain questions. I tend to try and avoid these as much as possible. Lots of established vendors also have their own actions shared though, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel when interacting with their platforms/services/products.

For instance, AWS has a lot of actions they maintain to assist with common CI/CD needs with AWS services.

Your attitude of "how is everyone so stupid" does not help the discussion.

Jenkins pipelines are also DSL. I still can print out debugging information from them. "It's a DSL" is not an excuse for being a special case of shitty DSL.

Do these tutorials have a chapter on what to do when you join a company with 500 engineers and a ton of YAMLs that are not written in that way?

Yeah, no. How am I supposed to test my script that is supposed to run on Github-supplied runner with a ton of injected secrets and Github-supplied JSON of 10,000 lines, when I don’t have the runner, the secrets, or the JSON?

That's _GNU_ Emacs. The original Emacs is even older (1976), though back then it was still a set of TECO macros rather than a C core with Lisp macros.

Interestingly, the very first version of Emacs on the PDP-10 in 1976 was already developed by Richard Stallman.

I have a problem with the Github Actions documentation. There is a lot of it, but it feels as though it was written from a "product" perspective, to explain how to use the product.

None of it usefully explains how GHA works from the ground up, in a way that would help me solve problems I encounter.
There's plenty of capitalism in Chinese business. It's not a purely communist country, it's a hybrid system with an active market economy.
Same here - and you can still buy Plex Lifetime Pass for the current rate of $119.99. If you're on the fence it goes up to $249.99 on April 29th.

From the blog:
"The price increase applies to new and existing subscriptions, with the exception of existing Lifetime Plex Pass holders. The good news is that you can still purchase a Lifetime Plex Pass subscription at the current price of $119.99 USD* before the increase goes into effect on April 29, 2025." [0]

Also with respect to streaming costs - as long as you have a Pass there's no cost:
"IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CURRENT PLEX PASS HOLDERS:
For users who have an active Plex Pass subscription, remote playback will continue to be available to you without interruption from any Plex Media Server, after these changes go into effect. When running your own Plex Media Server as a subscriber, other users to whom you have granted access can also stream from the server (whether local or remote), without ANY additional charge—not even a mobile activation fee." [0]

Had they changed that they'd probably be experiencing additional lost revenue. Either way, glad I got Lifetime back when it was sub $100. I think it's worth it for those of us who enable family members to leverage our deployments.

> Coca-Cola delivery

The shipping and handling of liquid is something I've become acutely sensitive to.

I must say that with Coca-Cola, it may be junk soda, but at least you weren't delivering beer or liquor. Among legal jobs it must be a moral struggle for some guys to deliver thousands of gallons of the stuff. At least bartenders and restaurants have discretion to stop serving customers, but delivery is just a middle-man, no-questions-asked thankless job.

I used to shop and ride the bus home, and so instinctively I avoided large quantities of liquid because they were too heavy and the cost/weight/benefit ratios favored substantial food or everyday items I could really use.

Shipping liquids seems to be a huge logistics problem overall. Instacart began charging me "heavy item fees" and a lot of drivers really hated lugging any liquids up the stairs here. And even a restaurant delivery with fountain soda[s] seemed troublesome, for many reasons! No wonder they began to steal all of my drinks!

I was trying to chase down some food-grade H2O2 and realized Amazon wouldn't even ship it here because of HAZMAT regulations, and relying on taxis isn't much better. I need to be concerned about heavy glass clinking together, how to secure bottles upright in random strangers' trunks.

There is a reason that "milkmen" and milk delivery services used to be ubiquitous in urban America. Solving the logistics of shipping cold, perishable liquids in bottles and bringing them direct to customers was a huge marketing and engineering win.

Once I had a sizable shipment of organic juice in glass bottles which was held up at the USPS station. At the counter, they told me that the bottles broke and it was a huge mess and they had to clean it up and didn't even want to show me. I have no doubt that it may have happened that way and they were enjoying the remaining bottles on my dime... can't blame 'em!
This is a great summary of the situation. I've been thinking about installing solar panels on my house, and been thinking about these same sorts of issues. Unfortunately, for my situation here near Chicago, things are much worse than the author's Atlanta: winter requires tons of energy here because it's very cold, and we have even less sun then.

It's one of the things that makes me think about wanting to move to Texas or Phoenix or something. Ample year round sun, and the big energy expense: climate control, corresponds much better to when you have it (you need to "cool" in the summer and the day). It rubs me the wrong way that here, our big energy cost is heating in the winter. It doesn't fit well with the utopian solar future I'm envisioning.

I started a borderline smug response here pointing out how bullshit white collar and service jobs* where in deep shit but folks who actually work for a living would be fine. I scrapped it halfway through when it occurred to me that if everyone's broke then by definition nobody's spending money on stuff like contractors, mechanics, and other hardcore blue collar trades. Toss in AI's force multiplication of power demands in the face of all of the current issues around global warming and it starts to feel like pursuing this tech is fractally stupid and the best evidence to date I've seen that a neo-luddite movement might actually be a thing the world could benefit from. That last part is a pretty wild thought coming from a retired developer who spent the bulk of his adult life in IT, but here we are.

Desecrating graves seems pretty objectively provable and serious

My understanding is that the oil companies main defence is that they asked representatives of the tribe in question if any of the land they where planning on building on had any sacred or cultural significance, and the burial ground in question wasn't flagged by the tribe. They claim that they avoided other sites flagged by the tribe, but this site was only brought to their attention much later and after protests had started. Their implicit argument seems to be that this site only 'became' a burial site when it was poltically expedient for it to be one, and that Greenpeace either lied about it being a burial site or at the very least greatly exaggerated it importance.
