<p>That article is hardly conclusive. It states the biggest reason for the unpopular response was a belief that the incidence of traffic accidents involving young children walking to school increased. It also states that wasn’t factually supported.<p>It also cites one opinion poll. And we have to keep in mind this happened FIFTY years ago.<p>I’m not even a permanent DST advocate. It’s just weird to me the link you shared does nothing to substantiate your position.<p>Update: my suspicions were correct — there was a public panic caused by parents groups that had no basis in fact:<p>> Considerable opposition to observing DST during the winter had come from school groups, such as the National School Boards Association, which expressed concern over darkness during the morning school commute.[47][48]<p>> When members of Congress introduced legislation to repeal the practice, they stated it jeopardized children's safety, citing the deaths of eight schoolchildren in Florida since DST had been enacted a few weeks prior<p>Ironically:<p>> A meta-analysis by Rutgers researchers found that permanent DST would eliminate 171 pedestrian fatalities (a 13% reduction) per year</p>

<p>“What they missed was the after action surveillance and analysis.”<p>So you agree with the parent, you just don’t think Tesla was “unprofessional”. You can split hairs all you want over what specific process or check or diagnostic or paperwork did or didn’t get done. It doesn’t change the outcome — shipping 4K super expensive cars to long suffering customers to only almost immediately have a serious safety recall? That’s unprofessional.<p>Tesla should have been going over these with a fine-tooth comb! This is the first iteration of an entirely new vehicle platform for the company, its first time working with steel for body panels, its first time* implementing  steer by wire tech, etc etc. why isn’t every single one of these first few thousand heavily scrutinized? Insane.</p>

<p>The author’s completely over the top reaction to the plausible and not especially weird titular statement gets old, quick.<p>Especially when they reveal that the network is using wifi antennas over a non-insignificant distance in an urban setting.

<p>Can I ask why you’re concerned about the legitimacy of the kids reasoning for setting off fireworks? Like, if he was shot and killed on a holiday, it’s not his fault, but it’s perfectly reasonable to be shot and killed by a police officer when a opaque surveillance system reports gunshots on non-holidays?</p>

<p>I mean, yah, it makes sense the one they admitted was pertinent to the case? I don’t see how that context is meaningful.<p>I actually strongly disagree with you — the context doesn’t matter. We have a private quasi-law enforcement entity installing thousands of surveillance devices in American cities without any external oversight or knowledge of where they are installed. These surveillance devices that were pitched as tools to locate gun crimes all of a sudden record audio? And this quasi-law enforcement company with no oversight is storing that data and then furnishing it to the police?<p>We have no idea what’s recorded, we have no idea where these devices are, we have no idea who is listening to the recordings, we have no idea what access LEOs have to these recordings, we don’t know how they are stored, and we don’t know how long they are stored for. You’re seriously okay with a non-government entity operating like this?</p>

<p>From what I can find, the used OS of software developers is 61% windows, 46% Mac so this argument has no weight on the considerations the team should make Å— it’s essentially a toss up.<p>Even if it weren’t a toss up and significantly more devs used windows, deciding to target windows based solely on OS market share is one of the worst things a small dev team with finite resources could do. It’s just not a compelling argument at all.</p>

<p>It is, but barely (windows is @ 61%, macOS is at 46% based on the numbers I found). And even if we ignore that, number of potential users is far from the only factor you’d consider when choosing the first platform to target for a new project. And then, ignoring that as well, just because an OS has more <i>potential users</i> in total, that doesn’t mean it has more potential users of your editor.<p>There’s lots of reasons to not choose windows as a first release platform, and it being ‘the most common development platform’ isn’t a compelling one, especially for a small team with finite resources.</p>

<p>You’d be shocked at how many people (smart people included) are fooled by stupid ads and misleading website alerts and notifications. I used to do customer support for a large tech company, and people get sucked into giving up passwords or PII All. The. Time. by convincing ads. Some of these actors even deliberately style the ads to look like system alerts!<p>Yah, probably not a lot of HN users falling for it, but I was constantly surprised by the demographic. I’d regularly see smart, accomplished people get bamboozled by ads. It’s wild.</p>

<p>> Occam's razor is not an embargo against the positing of any kind of entity, or a recommendation of the simplest theory come what may.

<p>> Schema validation provides assurance that data is strictly similar to a set of patterns, structures, and data types you have provided. It helps identify quality issues earlier in your codebase and prevents errors that arise from incomplete or incorrect data types.<p>From: <a href="https://blog.logrocket.com/schema-validation-typescript-zod/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://blog.logrocket.com/schema-validation-typescript-zod/</a><p>Most common use case I’ve seen is using schema validation for user input (like forms) so you don’t send junk off to the api, you can validate data at runtime (whereas typescript checks your types statically when compiled).</p>
