Apparently there are cases of passenger's jaw closing on the driver's protrusion on crash, causing injuries

I think they are trying to stop random small shops from making cosmetic copies that compete with their products.

Crude copies with convincing appearance would tarnish their brand. Visibly crude copies stop performance data of such copies from being mistaken as representative of actual products.


Is caveman speech brief, or is it just more consistent with the Chinese language? The Chinese language famously lack ALL inflections, conjugations, anything that modify spelling of words.

The advantage of Bluesky over Twitter and Mastodon is that it's centralized with no actual plan to decentralize.

This is false. Every single people of the atproto stack can and has now been hosted and deployed by others and is operating at less get than the scale of a small community.

That's just feudalism with less extra steps

From what I know about feudalism, this is a non-obvious statement. Care to develop ?

The proposed system moves sources of identity from the nation to private banks under it. So banks own people. Propose a financial regulation to the national congress/parliament and you stop existing, digitally or potentially physically as well. That's feudalism. Or Chinese struggles-of-nations warlord era situation which is often grouped up into that concept as close enough things.

I am not sure the proposal was for the bank to "own" the identity rather than being the manager of it the same way they already manage your money.

The state establishes your identity at birth. The bank already has access to your identity. If a service needs to know your identity, it asks the bank and it is illegal for them to store than information anywhere on their servers. It means only the bank is repsonsible for the safety of your id and selling and buying id information will be illegal.


Banks can be state-owned as well as private. Moreover, some countries have a particular bank that serves all citizens, even if they would not be able to bank elsewhere.

are they state-owned? Which American bank is required to serve everyone, regardless of nationality or other factors?

There was a random comment here on HN few days back that adult contents have lower chargeback rates than everything else.

So ig stop spreading hallucinatory misinformations?


The odds of random porn purchases being reversed are very different than the odds of random porn purchases by 14 year olds getting reversed.

Source, I have a number of friends who worked on the web side of online porn a long time ago.

$950 for 23TF fp32? Have GPU performance grew in past 5-10 years at all?

Are you comparing against gaming or workstation cards?

1080Ti had >10TF in 2017. Or Titan XP too for that matter. ~10 years ago.

AI workloads are all about memory size and bandwidth not compute

like off-road capable, albeit still luxurious?

Intel always had that habit of starting an internal conflict whenever whatever potential alternative revenue sources start to threaten their internal dependence on x86

literally an edge case for parsers and a technical debt
