I've literally had my vehicle alarm and tell me to keep both hands on the steering wheel when I had both hands on for a long time. My biggest concern is where do false alarms take us in the not-too-distant future? Inept sensing -> you can't drive.

Not being mandatory and not having an effect are different claims.

> will still be able to intercept drones cheaply

But likely not at the scale required to make a real dent. This is the problem with the "this new weapon will win the Russia-Ukraine war" mantra we've heard so often (Javelin, HIMARS, F-16, etc). Lots of very capable weapons have entered the fight, but at limited scale compared to Russia's enormous manpower and manufacturing advantage.

IANAL, what are the practical implications of this? I assume the outcome is police would first need probable cause to suspect a specific person of a crime, and then get a warrant for that person's location. Am I wrong?

This is the problem in the discussion. Many on HN don't remember what it was like to buy a house in 2010, so they assume it hasn't gotten (far) worse. It has.

This wildly assumes that "I voted for $candidate" means "I like $candidate." Every presidential election cycle we get served up two turds, one with a (D) and the other with an (R) by their name, and we have to pick which turd we'd like to ruin our country for us the least.

> Starting price reportedly around $2,000.

I'll guess it won't be a Vision Pro level disaster, but most people will skip this device unless the price drops substantially.

What if we took Japan’s flag, imagined it printed on paper, but made the dot blue?

> MongoDB still leads on single-record writes, while SurrealDB is ~1.3× faster on reads

I greatly appreciate when a vendor is willing to run the test and publish unfavorable information, even if it's only in one benchmark category.

“cum” (rhymes with “broom”, rather than “dumb”) is Latin for “with”.

These days Conjure is the best way to write a lisp language in Neovim, in my opinion. It supports Clojure, Common Lisp, Fennel, etc. Not my project but I’m very thankful for those who contribute!

For what purpose? Murder? Arson? It's amazing how often people say things like "no one is above the law" whenever it's convenient, then totally flip the script when it's not.

For ancient Greek, two great books are:

Greek: an Intensive Course by Hansen and Quinn.

Basics of Biblical Greek by William Mounce

Both are standard texts with solutions easily available online.

Get a decent Greek grammar book and go through the first couple chapters, even if you don’t plan to complete the book. After completing the exercises you’ll be amazed by how quickly the Greek alphabet stuck. Repeat every 10 years if necessary.

> people must prove their value via an extraordinary work ethic

Ironically, this is the literal opposite of Christianity. Christianity in a nutshell is "Jesus saves people because we are incapable of saving ourselves."

> And how does it make any logical sense to send 100+ spec ops guys in two big planes to rescue one (1) guy in a remote mountainous location?

I’m a former Air Force officer, and can attest that this is in fact a long-term standing policy. “Never leave a man behind” exists because if we didn’t have that policy, pilots would be too risk averse to fly the missions aggressively.

Check out the “Notable Missions” section for a few very public examples over the past decades:

If the US wants the IAEA to agree to something like this, especially considering the global economic impact of refusing, I imagine the IAEA could be convinced.

The JCPOA came about when the US pushed for it in 2013.

I love multiple 9s as much as the next guy but that's only 27 hours per year of downtime. For a mostly free (for me) service, I'm thankful.
