It's aimed at immigration. Babies are OK. Not all that incentivized but OK.

Meat trafficking over the border is one of my hobbies.

Cables need replacement sometimes but I prefer the manual ones. It's really useful for turning in winter, it's fun and I trust it a lot more as an emergency brake. I've tried a Model 3 ebrake in motion once at 30-40 kmh and it locked up the rear instantly. Manual ones I can regulate so they don't lock or even let go a little if they do since they're not a button.

Depends on where you want to draw the line.. I definitely prefer teams where you don't have to play oral minesweeper all day. It just results in everyone being obviously two faced.. If I do something very stupid, it's fine to snap and call me a dickhead, as long as we keep getting along the other 99% of the time. It's even fine to do it lovingly when I'm doing minor stupid activities. Of course there are limits but for me it's very far from 'do it once and I'm running to HR'

They want it to be good? Throwing it at a third party sounds like a good way to get a meh game and then have to release it since you've already spent X$ on it.

You could just go on your car sales website of choice and likely find the same car with the plates visible.

Shilled it in another spot but a lot of the banter of https://www.youtube.com/@CadenceGao is about regional stereotypes. Look for videos with english thumbnails.

This is also good: https://www.youtube.com/@CadenceGao

It's nice banter and rough cooking instructions. Since it goes over the process in a more chaotic manner it makes it IMO less intimidating/closer to how people cook their normal food. Look for the videos with english in the thumbnail.

Depends on what they're selling. Elon is a bit awkward but has/had a cult following.

Edit: It's about communication but also hype/motivation. Be it for the team, shareholders or customers.

And communication can be done in many ways. It doesn't have to be political speak, sometimes the directness some smart awkward people bring can be good and being awkward gives them the right to be direct without coming off as rude professionally.

Punishing the liars after the fact, to me, sounds like a very slippery slope. What percentage of promises have to be upkept? Do they have to be kept if the situation changes and they're no longer the correct decision? Do they have to be upkept in special circumstances such as Covid/WW3/etc? Though I would love a system where applicants list their main plans and their progress (not as done or not but as references to legsilation changes, etc) gets officially documented after their term. It won't be wildly useful but it doesn't sound like too much work either.

I like local governance but you have the same issue on a different scale. Whether the president or the governor runs the show I'd want them to be replaceable in a timely manner and to have a little fire under their ass.

Moving your feet is something I also do but I'm not sure is sustainable. What you get is people going to more social places in the beginning of their adult life to get as much support as possible and then move to the most capitalistic places possible once they start earning big money to pay less taxes/have more buying power. How many people do that, I don't know. In my circles it's a lot and I'm one of them.

It's one of those perfect is the opposite of good things though since centralised politics isn't really better either..

That's inline with my impressions in general.

Dogs, humanoids can better interact with the environment but even back in the day the Boston Dynamics dog marketing was to a large extent automated infrastructure monitoring with things like thermal cams and less so the actual intervention which means you can just get drones with thermal cameras and skip the whole walking issue/cost.

On the other side if you need interaction you can just get an arm. My current employer is looking at the humanoid robots more so for the marketing that they can do things "magically"/without careful preprogramming and adapting to conditions but if you can do that with a humanoid, you can do it with an arm for cheaper still.

The space where you need monitoring, interaction and movement to me seems very limited and even undesired. There's a reason we avoid having people do the entire process from start to finish and like putting them in as short as possible loops..

Even if it does that early on you'd just land on unrelated legislation. You'd notice pretty quick that it's about a whole different topic.

The reason I do it in combination with normal search is that normal search will often get clogged up by 3rd party websites and at best lead you to only the main legislation. The LLM is likely to name you the main legislation so you can search for it directly by name and also mention other major related pieces.

All of them feel to me like they went backwards. In the beginning you could say you killed someone and it'd show you the nearest park/forest to bury them in. Now you can't even get them to play X on Spotify half the time.

Tbh I often use it to get a starting point. If you ask it about say martial law it'd likely mention the main pieces of legislation that cover it which you can then turn to.

Always have been (⌐■_■)

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).

Damn, you might be right. I even made a tutorial on Excel ODBC for our sales department recently and completely forgot it's ancient tech. But even then, why in the hell would you query that much shit outside of management diagrams...

I remember back in the 00s Excel could support millions of rows on an office PC used in a bank department to check approvals for loans. I don't want to know what perversions they're doing now but at some point all that needs to get in normal DBs.

You have glue on Lotus chassis for example so glue can be structural in automotive. AFAIK it's just unrepairable. Feel free to correct me..

Edit: For non car peeps, Lotus build essentially track day cars with a light chassis and as many parts from popular manufacturers as possible to keep maintenance cheap. They see a lot of abuse.

Just quickly gonna shill that carsharing and motorcycles/scooters are a pretty good option as is home office/decentralized offices for many current commuters.

But now you have a system where the general public still decides who leads the caravan but a potential leader can straight up lie about what they're gonna do and it'll be a pain to replace them before their term is over.

To fix that you need either unequal votes or to remove the voting rights of those with incorrect opinions and understandings. Maybe education but then you'd have to make reeducation camps for those of incorrect opinions and understandings since educating the entire populace will mostly just move the average bar higher.

I'm not talking about doing referendums on every single issue direct democracy style and I am aware that to correctly implement something like this you'd need to do it gradually so that the populace has time to adjust to their increased political power which will hopefully increase their interest in politics in general.

Not necessarily worse IMO but that it's a painful process for mediocre improvements.

Persistently. My solo projects aren't particularly complex though so I haven't really wasted any time by not being able to use git history for debugging. I currently have 38 files modified on my solo work project. If I'm in a team I keep it somewhat tidy but solo I only treat commits as manual save points I use only when my spidey senses tingle or when I'm about to refactor something that works fine as it is. Also when I'm done with a large part of the SW so the next dev at least has some rough timeline for what got added when and how many times it was majorly iterated. It's not a good habit but it has yet to bite me in the ass so I learn.

Edit: A large part of the reason now that I think about it is that I don't work off real tickets but just bugs I notice or things that get mentioned on the current solo work project. In a team I can just dissect the ticket and am forced to do only that ticket on the branch whereas solo I'm just jumping all over the place. Sometimes I'll do thing X partway, start considering options and in the meantime do thing Y so it's a mess but the tasks get done so.. For context the project is 1 year old developed from 0 by me. Essentially an internal log parsing and analysis tool for a couple formats. Nothing particularly complex.

The ATM bit is just because we already have a system of safe terminals all over every country that are used to deal with personal data on the daily. It doesn't have to use a bank card per se. The idea is just to provide options outside of PC/phone login though even grandma has an Android nowadays.

The solution to the mood based polling is the "should the vote not be corrected over Y time". Y can be determined depending on what gov can handle but is it really mood voting if you get voted in, a year later you've not been in the lead position for over Y time (say 3 months) and you get replaced by the new favorite?

For me they blocked me via the Play Integrity API for using a modified OS. Writing them got me nowhere and there are 100 other similar services so I moved on.

Apparently it's been fixed:

https://grapheneos.social/@GrapheneOS/113869402100735005

But I honestly can't be bothered if they're trying to block me.

The dream is probably dynamic voting through some login system where it's not done every X years but whenever you decide to change your vote maybe using ATMs as physical voting terminals for accessibility. Then voters can change their mind at any time and cause a change in leadership should the vote not be corrected over Y time. Then on top of that you can add multiple parties, individual person voting, etc. It probably won't happen in my lifetime since governments aren't built to be flexible\agile but one can dream.

Motorolas seemed cool when I was looking for a phone recently but their update support policy was very short. Whether it matters is another question but still..

I recently got a Pixel 8a since my Nova 5t died from water damage and I wanted to try GrapheneOS, I wanted a smallish phone with eSIM and it was one of the cheapest phones long term when comparing OS update support length. I still prefer the Nova ergonomics with the fingerprint sensor on the power button and the power button below the volume but aside from that:

The notch is not an issue at all, it appeared larger to me in pictures.

The camera focus has not died on a motorcycle without vibration damping and the phone itself has not died to rain. The plastic back is also nice since I don't have to worry about it cracking.

GrapheneOS has only been problematic with Revolut from which I migrated and Sparkasse's online banking application, although their 2FA app works fine so I can still do everything in browser. Migrating away from them ATM. Past that GrapheneOS has been a joy to use. Very powerful yet simple.

Battery life is kinda iffy and the slow charging is a bit annoying at times.

To me the 9a looks like more of the same essentially so I don't know if I'd spend 550 Eur on it but I'm pretty happy with my 8a for ~330. Though realistically most of my love for it is probably GrapheneOS.

So are many jobs. Many students do them, many people do them as an inbetween thing while looking for a better job, etc.

I get the desire to replace all no skill jobs with roombas and drones but some people need them and some even enjoy them.

A friend did over a year of grocery deliveries with a cargo bike recently and outside of the career growth issues he liked it a lot. Physical exercise, lots of free food and decent pay including tips.

Not everyone is a HN minmaxer following the meta to get to the highest posible salary in the shortest possible time. Some are happy with paid rent, food and a weekend visit to the club or w/e.
