MLS is the only one that has a good system at this point. Say what you will about Apple TV but the "all games, no blackouts" setup is pretty sweet. I truly hope other leagues take note and find a way to copy this.


I’d be all over that in my favorite sports if it were as easy as MLS makes it.


I think it's still abstraction by definition, but you're right in that it's a much larger single leap than in the past.


> it's still abstraction by definition

I dislike arguing semantics but I bet it's not an abstraction by most engineers' definition of the word.


If this is true then a PMs jira tickets are an abstraction over an engineers code. It's not necessarily wrong by some interpretations but is not how the majority of engineers would define the word.


I saw these on display at Pinball Expo in the Chicago area last October and they were magnificent. My kids loved pressing the buttons and seeing what happened, and I had a great time walking them through what's happening. The amount of creativity and ingenuity that went into these mechanisms and assemblies is something to behold. Especially the ones within the electromechanical (EM) games, which were basically 60s / 70s, they did so much with so little when it comes to computing power.


> Our strategy for our Minimal Viable Product (MVP) is to make it easier to communicate forecasts and conditions for regular and hazardous weather in a way that anyone can find, understand, and use to take action.

I think they've got you covered. Maybe not directly porting over, but it sounds like they're aware of the non-emergency use cases.


> Q: How do I post links or images?

> A: Write or copy a link to a website or an image into the email subject line and send it to your secret Daft Social email address.

I'm not sure I fully agree with the "simplification and reduction" premise if the only way I can get an image onto Daft Social is if I host it elsewhere first.

So if I'm reading this right, I would snap a photo on my phone, host the image somewhere, then send the URL to that image in an email. That doesn't sound overly simple.


Seems like you could upload to Dropbox and use a shareable link from your phone, no?


For an extremely specific and rigid use case / workflow, sure it's a close alternative.

For most people that want a flexible, extensible product that can do many things in many ways, it's probably not nearly as close an alternative.


It’s an alternative for the “do not touch any plugin” crowd, which I would assume is the majority of Obsidian users. It’s not a replacement for the “install all the plugins” long tail, sure.

For my use I considered both and honestly Zettlr is not that far behind. Decent Zotero interoperability would have sold it for me.


How is raindrop when it comes to reading? My understanding is it's primarily a bookmark management tool.


Houston is okay to live in. I lived there for 30+ years and while you're not wrong about your pros and cons, those cons severely outweighed the pros more often than not for me. For instance, the zoo is great, when the heat isn't trying to kill you. The sprawl can be a real pain, especially if you're heading from one corner to the other (Kingwood to Sugar Land / Katy is just not enjoyable at all).

Add in the current politics in Texas and yeah, I'm glad I'm not in Houston these days.


The "implication" in that "edit" is what the rest of the story describes.

> ...Gigafactory in Austin, Texas, where one out of every 21 workers were reportedly hurt in 2022

> ...an engineer who approached a supposed shutdown robot arm but got clawed and pinned to the wall by the machine performing its programmed motions

> At least one worker was concussed after getting launched back from an explosion in the metal casting area around New Year’s 2023.

This isn't some hit piece on Tesla by way of contractor incompetence, there are substantial injuries happening to employees as well.


So quote those things then! The edit was designed to imply something worse than it was - or perhaps OP didn't even read the article but wanted an opportunity to rant about Tesla.


I read the article. I did not edit my comment. And the fact that this incident involved contractors doesn't make Tesla any less culpable, especially considering the pattern of accidents across their properties. This case just seemed to highlight how carelessly Tesla and those they contract with are about safety.

I've fired contractors for less.


> I read the article. I did not edit my comment.

GP's complaint appears to be that you edited your quote by eliding parts of it that seem material to the story, not that you edited your comment. Edited comments get marked as such last I knew.


Edited HN comments are not marked like they are on, say, reddit.


Let me test that, it's possible I'm confused. If they're not, honestly, they should be.

EDIT: added this to check. EDIT2: seems like you're right, I thought this forum was open source so I wonder where to add a PR.


It's definitely not open source.

If the article is such bunk why are you browbeating them about quoting it?


If you're going to quote something, do it right. Making things up (effectively what happened here) just so you can stand on a soap box and complain about something/someone is absurd.

The OP selectively edited the quote to leave out the most important fact, knowing most people would not read the article and would just cargo-cult upvote the sentiment of not liking Musk and/or his companies. Cheap internet points for the win...


It was a rhetorical question. The article isn't bunk: you certainly haven't made any more convincing arguments than it did in the counterfactual with your witch hunt on quoting.

Being fined doesn't undo the violation having happened. The original comment wasn't anywhere near as egregious as you've gone on about it, and the worst cases mentioned in the article weren't those contractors' accidents anyways when you've got things like intentionally ignoring dangerous conditions:

> Another worker claims the molding machine also didn’t correctly seal and often spat out molten metal. When a worker presented a solution to fix the issue, they were reprimanded that shutting it down would slow production output.

You seem to have more of a chip on your shoulder about defending Elon against an imagined unfairness in treatment than the actual violations that took place.

You'd think eventually Elon defenders would realize how "cool" it is to attack Elon at a given time tends to map pretty cleanly to when he does attack-worthy things. At which point it's not so much "attacking" as it is "speaking on reality as it exists".

I have a ton of love for Andy Weir (Project Hail Mary, The Martian) for the exact reason you describe. Not only does he love the hard sci-fi bits but he clearly loves doing the homework so he gets it right.
