Alr bro we're making software not going to war.

Now you know how these guys see everything.

Like when Trump tells Canada (paraphrasing) "You think we're going to let China eat you first and just have the scraps?"

Everything is a zero-sum game to them. They are philosophically void.

This is just schizo-posting.

It is what it is.

Agree to disagree

Is it really safe to unleash 300hp daily drivers with instant torque and significantly greater weight to the general public?

That's another question, and not a dumb one at all! But still, while the product is what it is, there is still personal responsibilities in using it properly and safely. Otherwise we should ask regulators to just prohibit this kind of vehicles.

That ship has long since sailed. My college-age niece just bought her first car, which is a 2012 V6 Mustang with 305hp, naturally aspirated. I'm sure it's lighter, but that just makes it faster.

Oh their self-driving thing...Full* "Self" Driving (supervised)(see notes)(not liable for anything)

Sorry, I didn't remember what it was called. FSD, I think

>he's nerd-famous enough to not warrant an introduction

What is nerd-famous supposed to be. He's at the center of some subjective in-group that exists in your head?

To be fair, we are on hacker news. I did once use on of his programs, American Fuzzy Lopper (fake advertisement lawsuit incoming if its not american). So he is not nobody apparently

He wrote the American Fuzzy Lop fuzzer, which was extremely influential – pretty much put fuzzing on the map.

The point is that the annual number is often rather confusing from a reporting perspective.

And that an annual number is diluted and will only feed in slowly over time.

If we knew inflation was permanently at 5% from now on, a blend with 2% for 11 months and 5% for 1 month, is not informative.

They said: "12*0.4% is 4.8%. Inflation is running at an annualised 4.8%."

This is patently wrong.

Because it's 1.04^12?

Or are you addressing some other flaw?

No. What he's describing is like covering your face with your hands and thinking that you're invisible.

It might help obscure your physical address in public records and keep private companies from finding it as easily, but yeah, it's not going to keep the government-wide database from locating you.

You're on social media.

I get most of my news from NPR or BBC. I don't subscribe to either but I used to subscribe to Economist. It's still good but the writing style and tone is cloying.

I've been considering Financial Times to replace it.

I would like to plug for npr. If you listen to them, set up recurring donations to your local affiliate. They really do need your support. Local stations are at risk.
