(I don’t like my advice here, now that I’ve had something to. File a safety complaint, not a feature rollback request. They’re more likely to listen that way.)

Previously on HN, there was a 288-comments discussion on “ Mindfulness and meditation can boost depression and anxiety ” (2020): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24185710 When considering these two studies together, I f

That’s not our call to make when filing a safety complaint. The NHTSA is tasked with evaluating safety complaints from drivers, interpreting the rules and law, and reaching a judgment on whether a response should occur. Our part in the NHTS

Statute inherits from SAE J902A which costs $89 to read, so we don’t know from the statue alone.

I’m not up for buying an SAE standard today so I hope someone else is, or already has it, and can do so for the discussion’s sake :)

They already do have to adhere to regulations of those functions: https://www.nhtsa.gov/interpretations/23055-2drn And pass the FMVSS 103 Windshield Defrosting And Defogging safety test: https://www.nhtsa.go

If you own a Tesla, file an NHTSA complaint and say as much to them. They could well do so tomorrow if they can find sufficient rulings already on the books about this and enough legitimate owner complaints are filed.

My car radio has this as well: I have dedicated volume knob with mute push, next and previous track buttons, and a Home button that takes the nav system to the Home Screen. It’s minimum, sufficient, and I would really regret not having them

It’s not your fault. I find Teslas so confusing that I am visibly anxious to approach them and ride in them as a passenger. In an emergency, I would rather land a plane than try to operate a Tesla.

Is the front defroster so significant a safety concern that it must always be possible to activate with one touch/press/turn? If so, then Tesla would need to dedicate one such button to the front defroster regardless of menu sta

I hope they filed an NHTSA complaint, as they’re describing a software update that will increase the risk of collisions, injuries, and/or deaths if left uncorrected. US Tesla owners, if your Tesla is affected by this issue, and you bel

You jest, but “stand up a government” is a primary barrier to entry to being considered a “fiat currency”, which makes sense given the drawbacks of trying to qualify as a currency without one. A banking-grade currency would have reversed th

They would gain trust for returning all of the WETH accumulated in all of the contracts where it’s been idled due to PEBCAK, in concert with a code fork that refuses to accept such transactions. That would be a sign of maturity and intellig

Telling the customer to leave immediately for the store is the only viable solution for a time window that could be 7 to 55 minutes wide, if your priority is maximizing pipeline efficiency and throughout at the expense of occasionally mak

No. This means that embedding any resource from a non-GDPR destination URL is a violation of GDPR law unless explicit opt-in approval from the user is first received. If you are subject to GDPR law, then the above applies to all sites owned

It does not necessarily set a precedent: use of APIs hosted fully within GDPR countries would be unaffected by this Google Fonts judgment, which only concerns a GDPR site using non -GDPR resources without user consent.

CDNs under the auspices of a non-GDPR government cannot offer any legally-binding assurances that they will comply with GDPR. Their government can legally compel them to lie about honoring the GDPR and secretly act otherwise. Since US court

Sadly, the United States used to have a treaty law in place that delivered the easy solution you describe. In mid-2020, the treaty was found not to provide the necessary protections, and invalidated by EU courts; no replacement treaty was

Using a CDN service operated by a non-GDPR business such as Cloudflare, Google, Amazon, or Akamai could potentially be confirmed to be a violation of GDPR, yes, if the CDN-hosted resources are used without opt-in. I’m eagerly awaiting the

GDPR specifies otherwise than your interpretation, logical as yours may be from a technical standpoint. The site operator chose an optional way to embed fonts in a way that divulges PII to a non-GDPR destination. As there is no legal or t

If you specify preload=yes or other take any steps whatsoever to promote preloading of the (non-GDPR) YouTube link, then you would definitely be responsible for the user’s IP leaking to a non-GDPR site, and risk owing fines under GDPR. If

GDPR specifies a different interpretation of events, that takes precedence here: the user chose to visit GDPR-bound site A, and the law requires site A not to compel the user to visit any site B that is not bound by law or treaty to hon

Or in Instagram’s case for me, you read the article and see a strange mess with empty holes today , because your IP address hasn’t logged into any Meta properties in the past year and so Instagram won’t serve you embeds anymore.
