I have a unique perspective on this as a former federal rulemaker. One thing you should know is that when it comes to rulemaking, the FAA isn't an ordinary rulemaker--they do the most of it and they're the best in the business. When I went to my intro to rule making classes, the FAA always rolled deep.

If you want a change and you want to make sure the right people see your request, I suggest you start here:

I have to agree here. I love ripgrep, but at times I've had to go back to regular grep because I couldn't figure out what it was ignoring and why, and there were far too many settings to figure it out.

This is going to date me, but I had a t-shirt with basically a code-golf version of DeCSS printed on it and it said "This shirt is illegal" on it or something like that. I never actually wore it in public.

I always love seeing modern technology on old hardware. The Dreamcast was an amazing machine in a beautiful form factor.

I have a Framework 13, and I'm excited about this. I've been looking forward to moving to RISC-V for years now. I'm one of those weirdos who is willing to pay more for less performance. I guess they know their customers.

Just wanted to chime in that I love my Framework 13 as well. It's been running great on Ubuntu for well over a year now--no complaints.

I wanted to know this as well. I'm guessing that the author created a drop-in substitute for the SSL library it already head.

Any reasonable person can see that there's much greater danger in allowing a child to ride in a car on a highway--which no doubt would be considered perfectly acceptable by these police. Look at this visualization of cause of death by age: https://wisqars.cdc.gov/data/lcd/home. For those kids, the number one cause of death is "unintentional injury," the biggest component of which is motor vehicle crashes. Unfortunately, these police wield incredible power in our legal system, and, as a lawyer, I don't see any easy fix. It makes me sad that I'll be raising my child in this kind of environment.

Can’t imagine why they didn’t print the name.

I never understood why programmers have such a hard time with time. There are two and only two pieces of information you need to work with time: seconds past the epoch and location. Everything else is applying legal and social context to the actual data.

Here both of those pieces of information are missing on all three questions, so no answers can be given. Any answer to these questions makes assumptions or deductions about those pieces of information.

Does anyone have a rec for great iOS Gemini client?

Nice to hear Russ's name on HN. Not completely forgotten I see. He also opposed the Patriot Act when it was extremely popular which I thought was courageous.

It's the opposite. If you're being offered "drugs" by people on the street, it's because you look like a mark.

The Times newsroom doesn't posit premises (and certainly not the one you suggest) or debate tax policy, it reports facts. I find the ignorance on the basics of journalism and its role in American society on hacker news to be shocking and embarrassing.

So this response says the story is factually incorrect, but doesn't dispute a single fact. If the story is inaccurate, FedEx should describe what was wrong, in detail, and ask for a correction.

That they didn't do that makes me wonder.

I've dipped my toes into embedded rust from time to time. Can you give me an example or two of how you would use async/await in an embedded environment? I'm just curious about how it would work.

I think carbon emitters should be on the hook to clean up an amount of carbon equivalent to what they emit. There should be nothing controversial about requiring people to clean up after themselves.

Interestingly enough, my 2019 Subaru came with a CD player. I doubt it will ever be used.

I won't look at any page that has autoplaying (even silent) video. It's too distracting and it's not worth the effort to click the close button.

This is an amazing achievement for the WebRender team, but users should manage their expectations with regard to performance improvements.

The reality is that Firefox's current rendering engine is highly tuned, and switching to a new engine without major performance regressions is impressive. Keep in mind, there may be performance improvements coming down the line.

Those are points I hadn't considered, but what in the US, net exports are negative. Wouldn't that imply the converse effect to what you're describing?

I never understood this argument. More people in the country obviously leads to more labor supply but also more labor demand.

We're talking about two deaths total here? How many people were killed in automobile crashes since this article was published?

Even in the example the article uses, automobiles are the problem. What does the author suppose the busy intersection is busy with? The intersection is only dangerous because of the automobiles using it.

"Scooter accidents happen for a lot of reasons ... sometimes, the scooter is the problem. As she sped down that hill in San Diego, her husband yelled to Brogan to crash into him in order to break her fall. But she didn't want to send him flying. So moments before careening into the busy intersection, she held her arms up against her chest and slid the scooter out sideways."

Yup! That's the one I remembered. On a side note, I wish they still made sites that look like that one.

You used to be able to do this by showing certain images on a CRT. It was cool trick back in the day.

This argument is dead wrong and impeding progress. As other commenters have mentioned, stationary sources are much easier to filter. They're also more efficient than thousands of small internal combustion engines. They also produce pollution away from where people are breathing it.

Electrification of surface transportation is a huge win for people regardless of how the electricity is generated.

I can't read the article (I really should subscribe) but I think people seriously underestimate the positive effects moving to electric cars will have on city livability and city property values. Because we're all born into a world where engine particulates are ubiquitous, I think we're missing how much of an improvement clean air would be.

"Mr. Kaplow has tried everything he can think of to find workers, placing Craigslist ads, asking other franchisees for referrals, seeking to hire people from Subways that have closed."

Everything except paying more.

This is in the latest nightly. Open "about:buildconfig" to see if you're using it.

It's a discoverability problem. All that great small community content isn't monetizable and gets de-incentivized over time by algorithmic changes in search engines and link aggregators.

Everyone is being nudged to where there's money to be made.
