My Bolt cost only slightly more to insure than my Prius. It cost about $45k USD and while small for a car in that price range, fares favorably in terms of comfort and feature.

So yeah, a $15k 2003 Camry used exclusively for long haul trips in sequence isn't approachable by EVs yet. But if you compared it to a Fiat 500e that's been used and refurbed (selling in my county for about $13k) and you're NOT constantly doing 280mi trips... you'll find something competitive.

The opioid epidemic is pretty serious on the coasts, too. And lots of use cared about the rest of the country before the election, too.
I complain about progressives because I used to run exclusively in progressive circles because I used to be deeply progressive myself. I know firsthand very well the degree of concern they tend to have for, say, broke hillbillies in a state that hasn't gone blue since 1996 - or, for that matter, broke rednecks in a state that hasn't gone blue for twenty years longer than that. No doubt it would be easy for me not to care, too, had I no loved ones in such places, or were I not of such a place in my own right.

But let's run with your thing! Had Clinton won, the neoliberal faction would have been rejuvenated thereby, and need fear no challenge from the left for another two decades. Instead, the opportunity lies open for a new wave of progressive populism that has every potential of bridging the political divide, on the simple basis that few people are so wedded to any ideology, left or right, that they'll cherish it more strongly than the chance to ease the suffering of those whom they love.

Whether Trump being in office makes such a resurgence of left populism more likely remains to be seen. Whether Clinton in office would have made it less likely seems beyond reasonable question. So tell me again, how did I make the wrong choice last year? What would you have had me do differently?

Rely heavily on open-source software. Use your skills to tie existing libraries/apps together instead of starting from scratch.

Practice TDD, even if it takes longer to deliver something. Write thorough integration tests. If you don't, you are guaranteed to deliver products with lots of bugs. Tests are the antidote to anxiety or feeling like you're in over your head.

Use a stack with excellent static typing, like TypeScript, and take advantage of that typing. Again, do this even if it takes longer to deliver the first iteration of the product.

Estimate how long something will take you and then quadruple it. I'm not kidding. If you honestly think it can't take longer than a week, promise to deliver it in 4 weeks. A business person will rarely say, "It shouldn't take that long." If they do, just make something up about how it's more complex than it sounds.

If you deliver early, you're going to look awesome. Most of the time, you'll use the entire 4x estimate.

That's all I've got for now. Email me at the address on my profile if you have more questions.

If I had such an illness then what I would do would depend on my financial situation.

E.g. can partner support you for a bit? Do you have children? Do you have total and permanent disability insurance or temporary sickness insurance. Assets? Own an expensive home and can downsize or move to cheaper city to access equity etc. Etc.

Based on this and a target income and number of work hours I'd look for jobs that don't require much mental agility.

It depends what is meant by no concentration but most jobs require some. However something with more carpe diem like waitor, cleaner, gardening etc where you d your days work and that's it. A small fuck up usually doesn't mess your backlog etc. In these jobs.

If financially able consider doing no work but plan daily activities to keep from stagnating. E.g. long walk and salsa class every day or whatever. Or learn Haskell for an hour a day but turn off if concentration becomes an issue.
“Holy Grail” bugs in Emulation
Of course not, nor did I claim that. However, driving at highway speeds contributes the other part and these figures are pulled straight from Nissan's own web page. (The exact figures are: driving at highway averaging 88 km/h with outside temperature 30 degrees Celsius and using AC – cabin temp is not told – would give you a range of 152 km. Rated at 250 km NEDC.)

Driving at highway speeds obviously isn't a big part of NEDC rating for EVs.
Don't forget the sticker price includes a profit and both R&D + advertising costs etc. The leaf also has a rather anemic range. Run the numbers for a more reasonable 220+ mile range and battery's are going to near 1/2 the construction costs.
HTML5 Video is just an example of shitty browser behavior, as for some reason, every web browser maker seems to think that autoplay videos are great. They're not because sites are abusing it.

Worst, some sites these days will waiting until you've scrolled down a bit before they start playing a video, leaving the user to locate it and stop it.

As for Flash, it was indeed bad, but at least I had the option of not installing it.
While this seems drastically unrealistic from the viewpoint of someone in the US...

What!? So many people in the US live in urban environments where getting an oil change and emissions tested is yet another errand and yet another expense. Your "fuel" costs basically get halved. Factor in the time you save by never having to run the myriad errands required of petrol car owners, and if you want to have a shiny, great looking, fun to drive new model car, you're already out ahead! With the subsidy, it's been like that for years, and with the pace of improvements in battery tech and economies of scale, it will also be true without the subsidy.
Depending on how much he currently has wealth-wise, his reputation and credibility here might be worth much more than that in the long run.

He's still a bright engineer who could go on to do things in the self-driving car space. His expertise and exposure to the most cutting-edge IP is worth quite a bit. The less damage he gets out of this legally and the less dirt thrown on his name the more he will be able to turn that into real long term monetary value.

Not to mention the social costs.

If I was him I'd also being doing as much as possible to minimize the negative outcome of these legal proceedings for all who were involved with him.

I'd rather have, say, $20M plus a reasonable shot at making a lot of money in the future with a marginal reputation than risk my name being run through the dirt for a chance at $250M. Many smart people who had a shaky past have gone on to be successful. Talent/having the right skillset at the right time seems to trump (no pun intended) bad press ... in America especially.
Hah, I think the challenge of explaining blockchains is why anyone thinks they solve distributed systems problems and then working through how they don't.

Anytime anyone asks me how they work I say, "They don't, actually. They're really a data integrity system that's being misused, and the current economically motivated implementations (currency) are motivated by the assumption that a majority of computing power in the system is guaranteed to work with the system and not try to take it over."

I will probably avoid that conversation.
It's more about gov't subsidy than personal preference. I hate driving, but my car is definitely not collecting as much dust as I'd like it to. It would be smart of us to have good bike infrastructure - compared to subsidizing personal autos it's cheaper, more capacity, improves local economy, more environmentally sustainable, and lower health costs.

The title implies that the cars are actually getting cheaper, not that social costs are being externalized into this market.

The suggestion to change the title is valid. It's not the cars that are getting cheaper, it's the laws that are getting more expensive. That has nothing to do with the efficiency of the production or operation of EVs. It has everything to do with social policy surrounding the use of fossil fuels.

How to Handle People That Interrupt You at Work

Thank you for this! Interestingly, the cases you mention cannot arise in Prolog, because Prolog terms are never evaluated implicitly. They are just terms, and you write predicates that reason over them. In pure Prolog, there is no way to pass something "by reference" either.

If you are determined enough, you can definitely write an unsafe library or app also in Prolog, and security mistakes are also routinely found in Prolog implementations, just as in PHP or Java implementations. The main point is still though that a large class of security issues that easily arise in PHP user programs by one of the ways you mention is far, far less likely to occur in Prolog programs, due to the more direct, symbolic way you reason about data in Prolog, and additional mechanisms such as the mentioned quasiquotations which allow safe embeddings.
We've already crossed that threshold:

https://www.wired.com/2017/05/googles-alphago-levels-board-g...

But then, about a year ago, DeepMind redesigned the system. In essence, they built the new AlphaGo without help from human moves. They trained it entirely from games where the machine plays against itself—part of a continuing progression toward AI techniques that truly learn on their own. “AlphaGo has become its own teacher,” says David Silver, the project’s lead researcher.

Answer: The machines just train themselves.
SSDs have even more unique access patterns - they give you (relatively) fast seek times, there's no particular penalty for random-access vs. sequential usage, but you really want to avoid writes, both to preserve the lifetime of the drive and because mixing reads & writes with a SSD lowers performance.

In practice (and I haven't worked in a big corp for a couple years now), I don't see SSDs replacing mechanical disks. Rather, they're being used for different functions. Disks are becoming a data warehouse; they're the new tape, but one that systems can write directly to, without needing scheduled backups. Operational serving is moving toward SSDs and RAM, with a periodic processing step that pulls data off disks and builds a pre-made shard that gets written all at once to the SSD. LSM trees are well-adapted to the data-warehousing part of this, which is why you continue to see big uptake of BigTable/Cassandra/Mongo. On the SSD end...most people are using custom algorithms & data structures, AFAIK, but you're seeing a resurgence of data structures like perfect hashes, bloom filters, and plain old sorted arrays, all of which have great read performance but can't be incrementally updated without rebuilding the whole data structure.
Cells from EVs will likely be downcycled for use as stationary storage (think Tesla's Powerwall and similar). Often only a couple of cells go bad in a pack, so they are easy to repurpose. In Norway some of the larger charging sites have huge stationary batteries as buffers (evens out spikes and act as phase balancing).

You can recycle 100% of the lithium in a li-ion battery, but atm it's more costly to recycle than just mine the stuff - hopefully this will change in the near future.

Ok, I get it. I had misunderstood your argument.
If you look at the people that become billionaires you'll see that they are the ones that break the rules just enough so they don't end up in jail or become social outcasts. They are not the great rule followers. Great students can have a nice life but will never become the ones that fight their way out of social norms to create world changing products.

They are followers that need to become leaders and get out of that shell. They have the self discipline but need a way to stop being ruled by others.

> And the Communist regime in Poland, which had been installed by Stalin at the end of the Second World War, had reasons to be concerned about Milosz.

It's amazing how heavy-handed and propagandistic Americans sound in a liberal magazine like the New Yorker when they try to portray Poland as being heavy-handed and propagandistic. Imagine if this sentence was written:

"And the Capitalist regime in Italy, which had been installed by Truman at the end of the Second World War, had reasons to be concerned"

And why wouldn't one write that about Italy...it was more of a satellite state of the USA than Poland ever was of the USSR.

Private cars only account for a small slice of oil demand, so I'm afraid oil spills will still be a thing. The co2 savings are worthwhile though.
Ask HN: Best way to teach programming
What is the best way to teach a programming language to someone with little to no software development experience? How have you seen or experienced it first hand?

Some of us are self taught, some learned in a classroom. What methods exist other than self teaching with book and a compiler and what have you seen work best? I'm not talking about something that can be mastered in a few hours like some of these "teach yourself to code" tutorial sites. I mean what is the best way to help people go from 0 to average?

Getting a state inspection and oil change costs about $50, once a year - if you're actually urban, you might not rack up 5k miles in a year, and could get by on a single oil change. Especially if you shelled out a little more for the newer, high-mileage motor oils.

I don't know what this myriad of errands you speak of are...

What?! No "cromulent"?
1. Gigantic longevity. Electric Vehicles will likely run 1 million miles or more without requiring any significant repairs except a net battery pack. Internal combustion engines develop all kinds of problems related to burning petroleum for energy.

2. No gas charges. For the $35k Tesla, if you get an invite from a current Tesla owner, you can get $1k off and a free lifetime supercharger usage. Supposing you always use a super-charger and had no gas charges, on 200k miles you just saved $25k in gas charges...so your Tesla's net cost came in under $10k!! And it's probably still got a long life ahead of it so would have far more resale value than an internal combustion vehicle with similar mileage.

So it makes a lot of sense for everyone really to buy a Tesla :-D!

That said if electric vehicles do last far longer than traditional vehicles you could reduce car sales by as much as 75%+...if you add in another trend of transportation-as-a-service via on-demand vehicles (e.g. Uber), that could reduce car sales by a similar amount.

Both combined could decimate the current car industry as we know it which has a lot of impacts on inputs e.g. mining for metals, etc. which go into car manufacturing. It does make the world a lot more efficient. If you look around the US, all you see are parking lots and cars everywhere sitting around (for like 97% of their life).
I don't think that's the whole story.

If Google would let it be known that you can take a bunch of IP and walk out the front door to a competitor that would be a very expensive signal.

So for them this is as much about this concrete case as it is about how Google will deal with situation where their IP grows legs.
>The point is that node js is event driven and you can hardly escape from callbacks, except with syntatic sugar.

You can hardly escape from imperative code except without syntactic sugar either. That doesn't mean that one should program in the lower layer of abstraction of a platform. If we followed that, C programming would be all gotos instead of functions and the usual control flow (even "if" and "for" are syntactic sugar on top of assembly constructs).

>A sync await is an argument for people like you, who are trying hard to change its nature.

If it wasn't for people who tried hard to change its nature, JS would still be the same ho-hum language it was its first 15 years (I was there). Node.js was itself an attempt to "change" the nature of JS, moving it from client to server side.

The need for callbacks stems from the fact that JS as a language was never specifically event oriented -- any more than in any other language. It just supported DOM events in the browser environment, which for the first 10-15 years of the web were just simple one level callback handler (button clicked, do that). Hardly any kind of asynchronous programming to write home about. Aside from having first class functions, JS was not particularly designed for evented code. That's where callbacks came in, as a poor man's way to deal with evented code -- other languages have had coroutines, promises etc for 30+ years.
That's a good idea. Similar to 'probable cause' but from the citizens perspective or the various legal tests created by courts to ascertain guilt.

Basically that the consumer went to reasonable lengths to purchase the product legally and wasn't able to as a legal defense. If the owner doesn't make the content reasonably available than they have no claim that it shouldn't be consume by other grey-market means.

As easy as torrenting is, it's still not ideal to just watching it one Netflix or Prime. There are real incentives to not pirate assuming the content creator utilizes these (mainstream) options.

This creates market incentives to maximize the return on the copyrighted content and still forces the bigger distribution platforms to follow the rules.
True. Almost every bullet that is produced today is made from recycled car batteries.

It's not any more cheating to look at stack overflow, then it is for a doctor to look up more information in a medical reference book. But neither should rely on those resources to do their job for them, with no understanding of the underlying domain. A developer should easily be able to write FizzBuzz without using Stack Overflow.
