Unfortunately blatant disregard for others lives, pilot and maybe flight assistants also on board eg. I wonder what message not-poisoning him is supposed to send.

Or you could just buy a Leica M-P "Correspondent" [1] - by LENNY KRAVITZ DESIGN - that came roughed up and brassed from the factory. I think they only charged $15,000-20,000 extra over the $5,000 base price of a regular M-P. Ahhh,

In my opinion Lua's equivalent tables or more of a Swiss army knife. It's been a while since I've used them but afair they combine hash/dict, array and objects in one data structure. They're hashes as usual. With a

I'm hopeful that our emissions rates have "momentum" and that we're seeing the start of a deceleration and then quick decline and it'll start slow but accelerate quickly.

I know this number is from Fitch afair and not the CCCP, but I always wonder if it is overstated. And if overstated, by how much.

I see the non-cohesion in shared "things", like the way that people are driving, respecting traffic laws, cleanliness of common spaces, infrastructure. It seems a lot worse in the disadvantaged socio-economic parts of town. I thin

These features are always nice for meta-magic and monkey-patching but those are usually exactly the reasons why a language can only be optimized so much. It's often a worthwhile tradeoff but needs to be carefully considered.

They are very much (ab-)using the old get-you-hooked-by-loosing-money-then-slowly-crank-up-the-prices-til-it-hurts-when-you-have-a-monopoly trick? The others were never as aggressive in their quest for monopolies and made it on some other m

I don't think it's obvious. First of all there's the "magic" and often surprisingly good results that leads many to think there's something else there. Then it's also not entirely clear that nothing else i

squints ... can't tell if this is sarcasm. Microstrategy is still trading at like 2x their BTC holdings and so on and so forth, the AI boom is still in-progress and imo the jury is still out on the actual, real-world and $ implication

In my experience people watch YouTube in those corner bench sections, talk gossip for an hour at the cooler and take personal calls in the meeting rooms. Let's not pretend that everyone works all the time and is focused at work. Produc

Yes, I think that's the post. I was also just going to post that. What I ended up doing is buy smallest dose of melatonin gummy-bears (3mg afair) and they were easier to cut into smaller pieces/lower doses than pills. I occasional

I think that a tight labor market has more to do with worker productivity than WFH. After all why work so hard if you can find a new job quickly. Productivity shot up early COVID when people were scared and WFH started?

Probably has something to do with mandated severance in some states if I had to guess. Otherwise they might have to show cause. But I'm completely out of my depth here

Yes, but so do the costs of the commute. How much wear and tear is that 55min/41 mile commute on the worker's car - or more rarely how much does that train/bus ticket cost monthly? Some of the cost is always borne by the work

Probably because the browser is a lot of work. Easier to show "some work" doing something else, anything else really...

I like Craig Mod's writing style. The last product he praised that I've also seen posted here on HN was the Leica Q... I still want it. (Still too expensive to justify)

Interesting that I've not heard of it or the Chatbot Pi before and there seem to be no comments here. Anyone have any experience or further info? But they do have a high-profile roster of investors - I wonder if there's some catch

Someone should keep doing this, I get slight preference for democrats after about 10 runs. But it does flipflop, fyi.

Also, good luck walking anywhere outside the strip. I tried to explore a bit like I do other cities - on foot - but sidewalks end a block away from the strip.

I think plenty have been burned by FB/IG. I'd have preferred to join bluesky but they're gating signups. But agreed that it will do well-enough.

Selling self-driving cars at cost is not the profit-maximizing strategy here. With Google (and big tech) squeezing more and more for profits, some here even proclaiming it the new IBM, I don't see this ending with consumers winning.

Sure Europe was rebuilt by the Allies, but the wars cost the Germans dearly and most did not want the situation to repeat. And up until recently the economy was going quite well, gave people other things to focus on. Standard of living impr

This _was_ very much enshrined in German society for the longest time, many people growing up in the 1980s or 1990s had parents that had witnessed WWII. Germany is very densely populated but mostly smaller towns and cities and people tend t

There are a variety of non-destructive inspection and testing methods for composite, like ultrasonic c-scans and pulsed thermography that I know of. And you can produce reliable composite parts (you don't want homogenous, but them to c

I _think_ this was sarcasm, but... Not as far as I know. Full-size SUVs used to be classed as trucks and (were?) exempt from many safety tests and standards. They used to have the worst safety ratings, actually, despite mass. Modern enginee

This is clearly geo-strategic. Also never hurts to have competition, see eg Amazon or Google what happens when the innovator becomes a monopoly.

Cleveland, Dallas, Chicago, Denver? Every large city is like that. You can totally leave your bag in the car and it'll most likely be fine in Santa Barbara, Pleasanton, Livermore, Truckee, ... (outside tourist areas). As others said, i
