I'm not the person you're replying to but one thing I've seen pointed out [1] is that it portrays a largely unelected whitehouse staff where everyone is selfless, good, hard-working, quick-witted, reveres the constitution, always ultimately putting the country's interests before their own, always taking the moral choice and turning out to be right.

There's nothing that makes you question the way the country is run, or that tries to explain why real-world politicians' approval ratings are so low.

The name stands for WEB Out Of Browsers. The naming thing is always the first point people take about and, unfortunately in most cases, the only one. Which is a shame because the project is useful, and using a software for what it is rather than for how it's called or presented is what hackers usually do.
I think a decent analogy would be a grocery store. Sure, you've gone there and got free samples for over ten years, but now they feel those burger bites and cheese dip w/ crackers weren't actually helping them sell more product.

Do you expect the grocery store to give ample notice? Should they change their mind when people complain?

Admittedly the analogy isn't perfect because the samples aren't a major portion of the grocery store's cost/business, but it's still decent.

If the EU is really interested in increasing the lifetime of products, it's simple, just increase the mandatory warranty from 2 to 5 (or some other appropriate number) years.

That would right away, increase the lifetime of the products, but would also, put a strain on the manufacturers to make it easier to repair (after all, if you have to increase the number of repairs to your products, you are going to make it cheaper to repair it in order to save money).

Read the linked page, acupuncture shows a statistically significant difference to sham acupuncture or to nothing.
The Model S drivetrain is reasonably reliable. Most of the reliability problems (and I believe they have an average score now, not great but not terrible) are other parts of the car. Tesla likes their unnecessary "cool" tech, which also tends to break. The Model S has the extending door handles, and the X has ridiculous doors. Not that it's limited to these aspects of the vehicle, of course.

Note that the Prius doesn't have a CVT the way you'd normally think of one. It has a fixed planetary gear set which is able to somewhat emulate a CVT by using two electric motor-generators in conjunction with the engine. I mention this only because "CVT" usually makes people think of painful friction-based transmissions, whereas the Prius's transmission is much simpler than even a normal transmission. Your point that engineering skill and manufacturing quality are the main factors is spot-on.

You probably do not live in Europe (or maybe you just like trolling?).

First I am a voter and I do take the EU parliament seriously. I also consider what the groups and candidates voted in the past before giving them my vote - especially on topics like world trade giant agreements (TTIP, TATFA, CETA... - yes they also vote on that and it is very meaningful for our future).

You may also read some documentation on the powers and functions of the EU Parliament: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Parliament#Powers_and...

You may also just read the news:

-> UK just voted to get out of EU to escape EU funding and
regulations - so probably those regulations do exist at a significant extend.

-> A recent example: the GSM roaming (a former giant cash machine against consumers) just got extinguished within EU countries by EU regulation.

So probably - yes - they can set rules on repairability and durability.

"I should point out that for myself the most effective way to lose weight is basically just starvation. I exercise a lot and track calories and only consume between 1500 and 2000 a day (I probably need at least 2500 a day and maybe closer to 3000)"

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your point but this is the only effective way to lose weight. If your body needs 2500 calories a day and you eat 2000 you'll lose ~1lb a week.
This looks really neat. There's way too little experimentation happening in shells. Most shells are a few decades old, and they provide incredibly poor defaults and tooling.

For example, since I'm prone to making stupid mistakes, I always use a linter. But as far as I know, there weren't any well known options for linting until ShellCheck [0].

Personally, I've been using fish for a while now and I'm generally happy with it. It has great defaults, so I rarely have to tweak anything. Hacking together small scripts is easy, leaving very little room for error.

If I have to do anything event remotely tricky, I use node with shelljs [1]. Now that async functions are available, it results in some pretty clean scripts. And although I haven't tried it yet, the pkg [2] tool allows you to bundle things up into a single binary. That should make certain deployments incredibly easy.

Circling back to Elvish, one minor detail that immediately stood out to me was that they create another folder in your home folder. Since I dislike the ever-growing clutter in my home, I created a GitHub issue asking them to consider following the XDG base directory spec [3].

That's the current recommendation. This research shows benefit to musculoskeletal pain. This research will influence future guidance, and the recommendation is that acupuncture is cost-effective, safe, more effective than placebo, provides better quality of life improvements than usual care, and that acupuncture should be available to people with some types of long term pain (including musculo-skeletal).

The first paragraph:

> This NIHR-funded systematic review shows that acupuncture is better than usual care and sham acupuncture for pain from musculoskeletal conditions, knee osteoarthritis and chronic headache.

There's a very good film critique dissection of Bay's work done by Lindsay Ellis titled "The Whole Plate" (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJGOq3JclTH8J73o2Z4VM...). She uses Bay as a lens to talk about film studies for a couple of reasons; one of them is that there is no doubt the guy's movies are raking it in, so film theory both highlights what he's doing that's working and---when film theory suggests "What he does should not work"---provides interesting counter-examples to the standard rules.

They clearly are worried about exactly that. They've spent the past year discouraging people from reserving a Model 3, in a clear attempt to drive more Model S/X sales. Elon has gone on a couple of Twitter sprees to tell people that the Model 3 exists to be cheaper, won't be as good as the S, and that you should buy an S or X if you want the best Tesla has to offer. Just the other day Tesla shaved a full second off the low-end Model S's 0-60 time, which is likely intended to give the S a solid performance edge over the 3.

This isn't a "science reporting" site: arXiv.org is providing the actual scientific article. The paper is supposed to require a specialized degree to understand: that's the intended audience of the vast majority of content on arXiv.org. (And for regular users of the site, it's immediately clear that no paper categorized as "hep-th: High Energy Physics - Theory" would be announcing actual observational results.)

Aside: The authors of this article seem to have submitted a revised version a couple of weeks ago; sometimes (but not always) that coincides with either journal submission or responding to reviewer comments. There's no indication here yet of what its current stage in the peer review process is.

Edit: I see from later comments here that the target of this link may have been changed to arXiv.org after its original submission. If the earlier link was paywalled as someone said, that suggests that this result has been formally published somewhere. (I'm a little surprised that the authors didn't note that on the arXiv page once it happened.) So maybe the earlier context made the purely theoretical nature of the paper less clear.

They wouldn't be a big segment of the typical market for a car in this price range, but Tesla is different.

Good engineers take the human factor into account and include backups in their designs to handle failure modes caused by the human factor.

What they can't do is work around politics or budgetary constraints which force trade-offs between safety and cost. Anything can be made as safe as necessary, if you're willing to pay for the redundancies.

When it comes to reactors on Earth, a very large proportion of the budget is diverted to bureaucratic paperwork, lobbying, and PR, which could instead be used to pay for additional safety measures.
