Thanks for the link that is fascinating, I've never seen that before!

That 3d image at the top of the article is breaking my brain. How?

Would be hilarious if this was a runaway AI that someone was using to control their own IoT fridge.

> "I'm sorry I'm familiar with that function. Let me research enabling defrost for you."

Sam and Elon have a long standing feud. This is more than just bad blood between companies.

I could see this being a good policy for unsightly detrius or debris but they've taken it way too far.

The hundreds of thousands of unnemployed tech workers who were laid off over the past few years and replaced by immigrants in the USA are probably not the saddest about this news.

The fresh grads who can't find a job in the US aren't the saddest about this news.

Like anything there's a line between utility and abuse.

When people are paying 5k a month the rent because zoning won't allow growth this could be considered abuse.

When people are prohibited from building an addition on their house (the most expensive investment of their life ) without overwhelmingly expensive bureaucracy that's abuse.

In many cases homeowners and renters are on the same side.

You don't drive EVs. They will drive for you through FSD.

Zoning abuse is still at the periphery of the public conscious but as it get more exploitative and more brazen and people start realizing that a small set of property owners are capturing entire municipalities through zoning I suspect this will start to make main stream headlines regularly.

I know. Banning internal combustion engines is a good first step.

Its extremely disingenuous and pejorative to conflate artists, students, and service industry employees with criminals.

There's a number of reasons for people to be poor outside of being CRIMINALS.

That being said, what other incentives are there to eliminate affordable housing then other than property values?

The boomer NIMBY's are taking over regions by running local politics and enacting zoning ordinances that are out of control to keep their property values high.

The government is telling people what they can do with their own property to an insane degree.

I suspect at some point there will be a legal battle over this.

As a hacker News viewer I'm for other illegal download sites as well.

If you just Google 'free media heck yeah' you'll see a great deal of them!

> People should live among those who reflect their norms, and much of the societal conflict across the West comes from people trying to forcibly change a community to suit them, rather than integrate into it.

You made my argument against Nimby-ism better than I could!

This is a wildly insane entitled NIMBY boomer tier take but I'm glad you said it because it's what a lot of property owners are trying to convince people of.

Artists, college students, young people getting started, older people, service industry people, quiet poor, etc, etc.

I can think of numerous types of people who would live in an SRO and be a net positive to the community.

Some would argue homogenous suburbs are unsightly and a waste of land and resources and are inhuman and people who live there are 'undesirables'.

This is my thoughts as well! It makes smarter people smarter and dumb people dumber!

Whats going to be hilarious is if brick and mortar companies become popular again because of the painful U.I., scammy companies, and broken search of Amazon.

I think that is the Crux of the issue.

Email spam has made self hosting untenable.

Yeah I'm not familiar with that way but it makes sense!

Old age is rough but I would rather go out that way than a long drawn out terminal illness.

My grandfather just went to sleep one night and never woke up. Mid 70's. It's clearly for 'some' reason but it wasn't some long drawn out illness like cancer or some sort of progressive congestive heart failure. Everyone just chalks that up to old age.

I don't know why you've been flagged. This is a perfectly reasonable request presented politely that many of us are also wondering!!

My experience working at LinkedIn was that, after Microsoft took over, they offshored a huge part of their infrastructure and turned the entire culture into one of performative based engineering instead of results based engineering.

If you implemented a tool and it worked one time for your presentation to management that's all that mattered.

The actual company employees using it downstream in prod basically had to constantly QA the alpha software they were forced to use and the authors of the tool were hard to track down if they even still worked there. And if you did find the author or the team they would be very resistant to admitting there was an issue because it LOOKED bad.

So many tools I used were fragile and buggy, it was clear the authors just presented the happy path to management to get the note added to their promotion packet and the rest of the company just had to deal with the fallout.

My team implemented this product that the entire company used that was broken and buggy as hell but they kept presenting the product to management as this amazing product and nothing was ever done about how broken it was. One of my team members came from Apple and said Apple's tool to do the same thing was much better. The tool my team worked on was a well known pain point amongst the rank and file but management was very detached from the rank and file, which I guess ultimately was the primary problem.

If Github is having the same issues I feel for them.

If during the interview they said that their biggest weakness was that "they are a perfectionist" they are doing it for the money.

Saying Nature is not good as a "business model" is such an unintentionally funny Hacker News culture comment.

Are they just releasing it to keep oil prices falsely deflated or what?

should oil prices naturally be higher?

There's a fair amount

It's an NP hard problem.

To SOLVE it would easily win the Nobel, possibly the Turing and more.

Designer proteins would change the world and medicine also in unimaginable ways.

A lot of things aren't healthy like pizza and fried chicken.

They should add the cost of future open heart surgery to the cheap meal.

I know. I got a health perk at work for the year and used it all on the watch. I don't know if it would have been worth it to me without that.

How's the accuracy on the Coros watches?

Literally everything Mitchell does is top notch. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

i have a fenix solar, i charge it once a month.

it has an insane number of features
