I looks like sometime in June 2023, Nissan.com's content changed and no longer shows its old homepage[1], but instead some "spam-like" information about a company named Auddia.

For those who might not know about the Nissan.com domain story, basically one guy named Uzi Nissan owned it and fought Nissan Motors to keep the domain and succeeded [2].

However, Mr. Nissan died in 2020 from COVID complications. A story about that news was posted here on Hacker News last year[3].

Does anyone know anything about what happened here?

I've seen several parts of the legs laid out already so I was wondering if they can just convert it to a highway. The current highway, route 99, which runs almost parallel to it is beginning to get congested quite often, so it could probably get repurposed for a highway, otherwise it will just be a symbol of failure.

Permutation without repetition.

The formula is:

n! / (n − r)!

Since there is 10 (n=10) total numbers, 0-9. And it can only be 3 (r=3) digits long. Then it would be,

10! / (10-3)!* which would result in,

10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1 / (7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1) = 10 * 9 * 8 = 720.

I am pretty sure that note wasn't written there before. The author must have updated the article after I posted this question. Though "nice" is still somewhat vague to me. Nice in what way? Smaller numbers are nicer? Negative and positives make it nice?

The second part of the answer is more useful information, "Normally, you’d shift by the mean."

I didn't have time to read all of it, but half way through. So far it has bee a pretty good write up, however, just one question.

Can the author or anyone explain how were the amount for values shifted chosen? I.e. Weight (minus 135) and Height (minus 66). Why was -135 and -66 chosen? An explanation would be helpful. Thanks!

I have been using FF for what seems forever, and I have no plans on stopping... unless they shut it down, finger crossed that that won't happen! I'm a web developer, and it has always been my go to browser, to me it has always felt pretty fast and I actually have never had any problems so I am always baffled how other people always have issues with it, maybe I am just an edge case. AS of now, it has been my default browser for well over 10 years, on both mac and window machines. I will continue to be a loyal user as long as it continues it's current course. I really wish Microsoft had gone with Quantum Gecko.

I use to be an ardent supporter of Google. As soon as I installed a new browser or a got a new computer I would set Google as my home page without much thought. Then over the years they've lost my trust little by little.

I never really tried using Chrome unless I absolutely had to because I believe in the separation of services and because I started losing my trust in Google. I didn't want to be tracked. I don't have nothing to hide, but I still appreciate my right to privacy. I thought I was already sharing enough with my Google searches and YouTube usage.

I do continue to use gmail, but I've been keeping an eye open for reputable alternatives with security that matches that of Google, since it has that going for itself. I still haven't really found an alternative... yet, at least not one that is convincing enough to make the switch.

Just recently I changed the default search engine on all my devices to be DuckDuckGo as they seem to be a much better alternative when it comes to privacy.

It's pretty sad that greed has consumed Google and all they care is about maximizing profits instead of balancing profit and user experience/privacy. I really wish they can be that company they used to be, until then I'll keep my eyes open.

Since RISC-V is being mentioned here, thought maybe I took the opportunity to ask about it. I would like to learn more about instruction set, I know very little about it so I was planning on purchasing a book called Computer Organization and Design, it comes in three flavors: MIPS, RISC-V, and ARM. Which one would be the best option to read of those given, or which one would be the most relevant where I would get the most value out of it. Can anyone provide a minimal suggestion? Thank you in advance!

I'm a Firefox user so I don't typically use Safari, but I just did try it right now and I guess they do!

Well, might as well drop then entire stuff after the domain.com/{dump all this out} (the file path) since non-techy people don't really care about it. All they care is about clicking links and navigating...

Very interesting to start. I know for a fact that if you travel to Seattle in Jan/Feb it's really cheap, but of course that's because it will be raining a lot. Rain, for some people is not a real problem, but price is. With that in mind it would be cool to find out when is the best time to travel somewhere the cheapest. That would be really useful for me and probably others.

I also hate ADP's password requirements:

Your password must be 8 to 20 characters and may include upper or lowercase letters (A-Z and a-z), numbers (0-9), spaces (except at the beginning or end), and special characters. You must use at least one letter and one number. You cannot use the same character in four or more consecutive positions (for example, AAAa is valid, but AAAA is not valid) and you cannot use four or more sequential characters, in ascending or descending order, in a row (for example, ABCD and 4321 are not allowed).

It almost feels like a riddle...

Because I have to choose a complicated password that I can't remember, every single time I go back (maybe twice a month) I pretty much have to use the password reset functionality and make another non-memorable password. Even setting up the password takes some thinking as you can read the requirements that you have to conform with. Ugh. It's pretty annoying.

She could have applied for Advanced Parole, exited the country, and came back legally (with inspection). It still can be done, however, now with Trump, it's a lot more riskier since nothing is certain.

Once she enters with inspection it would have been a lot easier to resolve her situation.

I use to do a lot of my freelance side work through oDesk (how Upwork use to be known as) in its early years, back around 2010-ish. At the time, I found oDesk really helpful in gaining new work. I logged thousands of hours on it. I built a really good reputation for myself on it. I actually worked with some great clients across the globe.

However, as time progressed they started changing a bunch of site features and it slowly started deteriorating from there. It became less and less useful for me. Once they merged with Elance and became Upwork, it became unpleasant to use so I just quit the site altogether.

In short, Upwork was great at one point then they tried to do too much with it resulting in not-so-great service.

Keep. It at least now saves me a zoom pinch. :)

I rarely ever want to open something in a new window. I do however like opening pages in new tabs so that I can finish doing what I'm doing on the current page.

I'm a Mac user. If I want to absolutely open a new tab when clicking on a hyperlink, I just hold down the command key and click on the link and ta-da it opens in a new tab (there's an equivalent for this in windows). If I want to open in a new window I just hold command + shift and click on the link.

Nah, this is normal. Do a whois for microsoft.com and you'll see the spam for it as well.

I pronounced his name as "Self Cool Man" :D

Getting notifications/emails when a new release is released of a repo I'm watching or have starred would be awesome!

Anything connected on the internet is hackable. We've seen this time after time, so I'm not surprised.

I often find myself doing things alone. I took a trip alone to New Orleans and went to have brunch at this popular restaurant. The line was pretty long and lots of people waiting outside. I went up to the host and she asked how many people were in my party, I responded, "just me." She said, "follow me this way."

So one thing I've come to realize is that when you go to a restaurant alone there's usually zero waiting time for seating, that's a plus. :)

Based on the photo, it seems it has plenty of USB's, you can probably just purchase a WiFi adapter.

Nothing would stop them, but there would less of an incentive in such business considering the profits wouldn't be as enormous as they are now in the underground market. Profits are huge because the supply is low (and risky) and the demand is high. Legalization, I would think would bring up the supply, after all it would be legal to farm it in mass-production just like tobacco, dropping prices significantly.

Just to add some more. The legalization of pot hurts cartel's income. I read somewhere, that pot accounts for 60% of the cartel's profit in a multi-billion dollar industry! I mention this because of the recent trends in the US where states are beginning to legalize it. I'm sure they weren't too happy to hear that Oregon and Alaska legalize it as it only takes part of the profit away. Once the US is fully legalized, it won't be a hugely profitable business anymore so they will hurt. This means less profits, which means less power for them. With less power, then perhaps there will be less violence in Mexico?

I've been using this plugin for git status: https://sublime.wbond.net/packages/GitGutter

That's ridiculous. By the same logic, that's like trying to ban DVD players because they too can technically play copyrighted material...

I really liked the plan names especially the top plan, NSA (Monitor Everything). Got a good laugh out of it. :)

Can anyone provide some background on the name? I'm not seeing the relation to Eric Meyers.

UPDATE: Ok I see why now... so sad. :(
