Which of course isn't an antithesis to the lack of snow in the west, and likely is literally the flip side of the "same problem". but interesting

"2002" New York Times, everyone.

Props to afroman for his perfect demeanor/attitude during all this.

Wether insurance went after those people for the claims or police, it certainly helped me there.

Same is said for dash cameras. It is in 99 percent of scenarios for "set and forget" not for some malicious anti-neighbor behavior

What do you feel is the benefit to the community for this that isn't offered by native blocking/existing extensions?

I ask not out of malice, I ask because 2 reasons: 1. I imagine spending time on this/it's working well required you to see the value/benefit to it. 2. We must assume all hacker news commenting follows the rules, IE; good faith comment with relevant experience when required. This seems like a way to promote getting around that.

working in dry extreme cold is infinitely worse than balmy 35f. One because in both scenarios moving snow/moisute out is required regardless of temps for working safety, and two because dexterity is gone at the lower temps/layering becomes inhibitive to work.

Ie; I'd rather work in a rain/snowcoat and be able to use my hands to get back inside quicker, than to work 8 hours outside in the "Clear/dry" extreme cold.

I say this having both a vehicle with wireless carplay, and another where I need to manually configure maps. And yes, I often fiddle with maps as I'm a nervous wreck, but I truly cannot imagine doing it "on the fly".

my company does not pay me enough to hyper scan my phone for teams/outlook, nor does my interest in "task/notification x" trump my desire to not have my car in the shop for weeks.

Different strokes I guess. I'm sure you're a safe driver all things considered.

Not useful for snow as you'll quickly be swimming and out of propane

You have never been sitting at a light, and see everone around you with their heads down, while the light has been green for 4 seconds?

Inverse, Have you ever been rear ended because a person staring down at their phone at a red light just decides to roll forward because someones brake lights in the pack deluminate for a moment?

I ask, because point 1 happens to me daily, and point 2 has put my car in the shop for weeks twice in the last 5 years.

A totally separate point to make; what could you possibly be doing on the phone? Like how addicted to social media or work must one be that they wait for the briefest of moments to distract themselves? I ask that not to judge or poke fun, but to say that you MUST be doing something that you find so important, and thus taking your attention, that it is now your priority. Or else, you would choose to wait.

I know you, as a reasonable adult on this forum, know what people are talking about here.

The "spent billions" isn't about me/my constituents/the US not having those billions. It's that those billions where finely calculated by (supposed) experts to help maintain PPP advantages over adversaries.

When one "side" starts playing pretend with money (IE; using 50 billion in western currency on the Zumwalt class of destroyers before tossing them) the other side doesn't do the same, and stop taking advantage of PPP.

"Rio de 28 Old Women" sounds like a theme park ride.

I assure you that the biggest cost to VW, Ford, JLR, Renault etc is: 1. Building/investing in Chinese domestic market (IE, building plants in china to sell to their market) 2. lobbying governments to dissalow chinese branded/manufactured OEMs in western markets 3. Litigation on IP against those same chinese manufacturers they are both working with in chinese market, and preventing entry into their western market.

These problems "can be gotten around", by simply accepting this is reality. VW is doing such unfortunatley, while a company like BMW REALLY pretends "it's fine", as they have way too much cash doing nothing.

- University being cost prohibitive to 90 percent of all humans as financial driven institutions, not performance.

- Before AI, 20 + years of google data indexing/searches fueling academia

- study groups before that allowing group completion (or, cheating, in your view)

- The textbook that costs 500 dollars, or the textbook software from pearson that costs 500, that has the homework answers.

I think it's a silly posit that students using AI is...anything to even think about. I use it at my fortune 500 job every day, and have learned about my field's practical day-to-day from it than any textbook, homework assignment, practical etc.

Of course people are complex systems. When have you ever felt the thoughts:

"I am the same person I was last year, therefore people should treat me as such and not consider my growth, changes, or nuance." "My partner is the exact same person they where when I married them, therefore I do not need to pay attention to their growth, changes, or nuance."

You realized these things before you read the piece, but like me, found solace in seeing this "author" rationalize it as not our fault, but instead the fault of the new society/the other.

Which...is certainly not wise for sake of self-growth.

Nothing in this "Article" is based in any fact or input-causality examination that was (before) unclear. Just a person putting esoteric emotional reasoning on a blog.

(And of course, my own comment here breaks HN good-faith commenting rules. But c'mon.)

Noraly/Itchy boots rubs me the wrong way far too often. Her content always **ends up being top notch and respectful**, but starts off with a sour taste after the title is "I should have never come here." and the content is a lovely journey......

Idk. This whole genre is: western person is achieving a "dream" life as a function of their birth and wealth status. Has a good time, seemed to enjoy the journey. But then pretends the trips are hampered by 1-2 (expected) events not normal for a westerner, and reflects that in the title for views.

I think the effect is more negative than not.

So if they somehow can get past initial device deployment/user account logon, and get other resources IE; slack....well that speaks to how difficult/pointless it would be to get proper VPN/Jira access.

It worries me that the "average HNer" doesn't perform independent analysis on even the headlines anymore, but rather the "top comment/flavor of the month" opinion at the top of the discussion.

It is...dangerous to then say "I wish we we could flag these posts as AI-authored"

Dang has done an incredible job with the flagging system, and it is reliant on the shared understanding of the users here that we are all acting in good faith and not performing surface level analysis/criticism.

This clashes with my experience; At least in my field....PM can basically only come from an individual who has architecture + development experience and thus is higher paid than any dev who is working on their product.

Maybe I need a different job.
