Abstractions should really make it easier than what's described in the article. There's no reason that in 2024, after almost fifty+ years of computer science, we still have articles saying "hey, here's a common pitfall t

The coda to the story is hilarious. CCPA apparently has an exemption (I'd say loophole) for the sale of personal information to consumer reporting agencies, as long as the use of that data is covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. S

Perhaps. This thing might be an easy win for a regulatory agency looking to establish itself though.

I have obtained an email from GM stating that if I am an OnStar Smart Driver subscriber, I cannot opt out of my data being shared. I believe this violates at least California privacy regulations, probably some other states, which mandate op

This is at least a Florida lawsuit. I'm pretty sure the practice violates California law as well.

Wow... Looking at the links on one of these, I see that the tooling has evolved a lot from the days of just text editing + assembly https://tbl.nu/2019/08/20/Tooling/

"Racing the beam" — omg I know exactly what you mean. We used to set the beam to different color at the beginning and the end of our vsync'd routine to figure out how many scan lines worth of CPU time per frame we could affor

Trust by default. The difference is, I don't trust anyone else to run the military.

Why, would US govt run it any better?! If you think financial types can't run an engineering and manufacturing business, wait until you see the politicians try.

True. I was only talking about the non charging aspects, bc I drive an EV at home and the charging bits are known to me already. If you're not used to using EVs, best not to rent EV except if you know you won't need to charge.

I don't know if that's at play, but the specific door configuration that Alaska 1282 had is apparently not that common in Europe. I'm sure EASA will take note though.

Or they could just buy other EVs that don't have this problem. Teslas are overrated and Hertz just fell for it.

I don't claim that it can be used to say the economy is healthy. I take issue with OP's claim that large layoffs necessarily imply recession. Unless you know that the laid off workers aren't rehired by a competitor, you don&#

> If you're renting an EV, make a checklist. Just Tesla though. I have driven other EVs (Kia, Chevy, Toyota) and haven't had any of these problems.

by yyyfb 3y ago
It would be reasonable mitigation , but there are plenty of great EVs on the market now that have similar range and drive quality to Teslas without requiring adaptation to unfamiliar controls.

Public transit is not an option in these places (midsize US cities: no subway, very sparse bus service). Vs Uber: I personally prefer driving myself. No wait, and freedom (shoot, it's 10pm and I realize I forgot to pack toothpaste, I m

The way you rent cars isn't necessarily the way that other rental car customers rent cars. If you're going on a road trip you don't want an EV. But I rent cars about 12x a year for trips of just a few days with very little mi

I rented a Tesla on a recent trip lasting a few days, and I feel there are other reasons for which is a bad rental car than charging. I've rented a lot of cars, but when I got this one I spent ten minutes completely dumbfounded trying

Even so - I don't have a moral objection to profit motive, I just think they're going about it wrong. There is one large shift happening now in the industry, to AI. Google will need tons of talent to rise to the challenge. There h

I don't see mention of naval drones, even though they seem like effective harassment against US and Russia in present conflicts. I wonder what would happen if you got 10,000 cheap drones for the price of just one traditional navy ship.

Non-view-weighted and non-impression-weighted stats are interesting but basically useless for disinformation research (which is what the post starts about). To a first approximation every viewpoint and its opposite is out there somewhere on
