Good lord that is a long-winded post. Not just in scope, but the writing style rambles and opines endlessly.

For the record, I'm excited for the Model 3, and would buy a Model S if I could afford it.

That said, the claim in that reference is problematic for many reasons, which I didn't notice were addressed:
1) Thermal efficiency in a vehicle is converted directly to mechanical energy. A power plant must convert thermal energy into electrical energy (losses involved), transmit it long distances across an energy grid (more losses involved), store it in a battery (more losses), and convert it back to mechanical energy (even more losses).
2) EVs like the Model S lug around as much as >1,000s of lbs of batteries. That's monstrously inefficient when specifically compared to the energy density of gasoline.
3) Some power generators may emit more pollution than modern cars-1

From a public policy perspective, the low-hanging fruits in the fight for cleaner emissions are to get people in gas guzzlers into Civics and Accords, not to get people in Civics and Accords in to EVs. That, and public transportation, bicycling infrastructure, and raising the price of carbon to align with the public cost of it.

Immediately after nakedness it mentions she was wearing something.

Not 100% sure but I'm under impression that there are ways in the US to legally take down any CP. I haven't yet seen a single semi-legit website which allows it, even 4chan etc. Maybe I'm wrong, in such case just disregard this point - the rest still stands.
How many of these 200+ undefined behaviours exist in more modern low-level languages, such as Rust and D?
Here's a recent good study from a reputable source showing acupuncture is more effective than placebo for some types of long term pain.

I agree that it's frustrating to see so much anecdote in threads like these.

I'm all for being relentless when searching for answers. And then for relentless researching and checking them.

It is important however also to hear the "No", as the article explains: Most doctors would say "No" when it comes to their own backs. There are certainly a lot of spine doctors out pushing procedures but anyone who is on the desperate search for a solution likely also heard from another doctor the word "No" and did not properly listen. Understanding the "No"s is important to weight the alternatives and risks.
> Tesla recommends a $700/yr maintenance package, this "EV doesn't require maintenance" myth needs to die.

You need to know the context and back story of this before claiming that it's something Tesla "recommends". Tesla did not offer maintenance initially, and it was not in the books until it became a top-requested and top-discussed subject on owner message boards. The company then reluctantly admitted that fear of not finding a suitable repair shop drove buyers' decisions towards not buying and started offering the plan.

The year 1 service, for example, includes such onerous tasks as "Key fob battery replacement" and "Wiper blade set replacement". If you want to save money or for whatever reason refuse to set a foot inside a Tesla Service Center, you don't really need to. Until year 4, looks like.

If only some games had less busywork as part of their gameplay.

To reply @stdbrouw and @ericdykstra: I hate grinding. Old-school RPGs and mobile F2P games are guilty of this. But all other games that have random collectibles in an open world, or "do X Y times" trophies/achievements are just adding stuff to keep you busy. I heard some people like this, but it's not my thing.
I see the point and to a certain extent agree in theory. But every improvement feels like it's improved on something that just didn't need to be improved, some things become easier, but others become worse. Along the way the simplicity of text streams becomes lost.

I can see a case where passing around structured data could make sense, but Powershell definitely takes things to far by passing around full .net classes that have functionality.
Make that a 286! :) A 486 was far out of my budget back then. Fun days, anyway!

You keep claiming these things. Do you have any shred of evidence? Because from the numbers we in the industry are seeing, it doesn't seem to be the case.
Indeed. I wasn't on the internet in September 1993. Actually my first modem was a 28.8k around 1994/1995, but I can remember one of my most productive internet eras when I had a 56k around 1997.
Yes, I was installing it with Homebrew just yesterday. That was fast. Was this code already in review?
Correct. One of the goals of this work was to expose and exploit the abundant parallelism within large atomic tasks. However, the tasks within a domain can be ordered or unordered. Our system will exploit any kind of parallelism that is available.

This is an EXTREMELY good point. We'll need to dig out a way.
We use the x86-64 ISA for our cores, yes. But our ideas are applicable beyond the x86 ISA. As nn3 points out, currently our ideas are evaluated in simulation.
This is a new execution model + hardware architecture. Currently we have evaluated it in simulation only. But stay tuned for hardware.
Well, "we don't know" applies here.

To a first order approximation (e.g. in the FLRW perfect fluid model), a Big Crunch would resemble a time-reversal of the standard big bang cosmology.

In our universe, time reversal results in galaxies appearing at a comoving observer's horizon, and everything inside the horizon becoming denser and hotter.

Ultimately the density and heat is expected to result in beyond-the-Standard Model physics in the matter sector, and (hopefully) new physics in the gravitational sector.

We don't really know what those physics will be. Everyone hopes for something that prevents a gravitational singularity from forming, but so far what we have in terms of possible stabilizers are conjectural at best.

The time-reversals of Big Crunch and the usual-forward-time big bang cosmology with structure formation relate to the BH information loss problem. For a non-eternal BH when we time-reverse from i+ we have a gas of Hawking radiation that collapses into a time-reversed BH which eventually emits matter with much less (Boltzmann) entropy -- ions, molecules, dust, stars and even the things orbiting them. (A time-reversed stellar BH likewise will eventually spit out a white dwarf or neutron star with their respective complex layerings). How does a time-reversed BH "know" how to spit out whole stellar-mass objects when only time-reversed Hawking radiation fell into it? Most quantum gravity programmes hope that strong gravity[1] produces an environment where this sort of (time-reversed) structure formation is likely.

Flipping the arrow(s)-of-time is extremely useful for reasoning in a setting in which strong gravity is important, and extra-underlines the question of why we have the arrow(s)-of-time we do in the first place. "Boundary conditions did it" is pretty unsatisfying.

- --

[1] i.e., where the radius of curvature is on the order of the Planck length; this mostly comes from the non-renormalizability of perturbatively quantized gravity (where we quantize perturbations of a background metric) and from work in finding the effective field theory limit of semiclassical gravity; generally it's very close to a gravitational singularity and -- depending on the censorship conjecture -- always invisible to outside observers.
The 88x is the maximum speedup we get, yes. We believe our ideas are applicable to a wide range of domains ranging from databases, to discrete-event simulation, to machine learning, and graph analytics.
Thanks for the reply! I appreciate the clarification.

The variations around "th" is one of the things I remember finding particularly difficult when learning English pronounciation, so my comment came from there.

Depending on the subreddit, it's sometimes interesting. but I haven't found a NNTP-level client for it, yet.
As time goes on you keep accumulating these details in your head. Then you just think about the low-level stuff the same way you think about the higher-level stuff, like algorithmic complexity, code structure, etc.

It does get tedious if you need to get something out of the door fast, but have to shave off another 30% of processing time per unit of work. Honestly, I just try to partition the working set and throw more hardware at the problem in these scenarios.
Walking along arterials doesn't have to be bad. I moved from the states to Munich, here walking is soooo much nicer, because the sidewalks on the arterials are generally wider, and there's usually more separation between the sidewalk and cars (often a bike path and/or tree/grass line).
The best solution from trials in UK is to turn off the traffic lights altogether and allow pedestrians to wander freely.

Why an IPO now?

Saudi Arabia sees a future, not too far off, where there is a sudden drop in demand for oil. Caused by electric cars.

In the US, 51% of oil becomes gasoline. https://www.quora.com/How-much-of-the-oil-production-is-cons...

A DCF model that does not take into account the rise of electric vehicles misses a very important point.

The IPO puts money in their pockets NOW based on future predicted profits. That money can be invested into true future technologies: EVs, clean energy, etc.

Why the IPO now? The rise of Tesla and BYD maybe? It's still a time when those are mostly unproven and so there are still plenty of skeptics and climate denialists who will buy up Aramco shares.
The me it means... nothing specific.

It tells me that is has something to do with login, "without state" (whatever this means in this context) and that it is somehow not a "big service" but very "micro", so probably independent. Stateless and microservice can mean so many things.
Uuh, despite the enormous attention, the article was written in just about an hour, and I'm not a native English speaker; that error slipped through the cracks. Thanks for pointing it out.
Total joke is an exaggeration, but they are indeed guilty of pushing medications and expensive medical procedures as symptomatic treatment.

Still, he most frustrating aspect imo is they act as gatekeepers of (effective) drugs and sick leaves.
I don't quite understand the logic either. Yes, electric cars may be powered by coal, but the coal plants were there anyway. If they kept with combustion engines instead of shifting, they'd have the same coal plants but additionally CO2 emissions from the combustion engines.

The argument would only make sense if electric cars were so inefficient that they caused more CO2 to be burned by power generation than a combustion engine would cause by burning fuel.

Also the point stated by others that electric cars can later reduce "their" emissions should power generation be switched to renewables. In contrast, the emissions of combustion engines are fixed.
Word your comments better.
Cheers, that Leica looks very cool.

I just had a little play with the raw data from the Pi camera yesterday using the excellent PiCamera lib.
Yes, but surface-level biology is pretty much carbon neutral. All of the carbon you exhale to the atmosphere comes from the food you eat, which gets its carbon from the atmosphere via photosynthesis.

Obviously there are edge cases, but by and large Global Warming is happening because we're pulling carbon out of the ground and putting it in the sky.
what is it that cause so much back pain in the USA?

anecdotal evidence, but after a few years there I had weekly visits to chiropractic just to function. one week out of the country, anywhere else, and I am good as new again. back to the usa, back to chiropractic. I already tried to change everything I can think of. even doing more exercise in the us caused a nerve pitch that was hell.

why? why?
Good question, multiple country support would be an awesome addition. Yes, can pass country as a param.

Difficulty of the implementation would be gathering public holiday info for different country as it would change every year.
I don't agree with this analysis. The Model 3 is a superior mass market electric car to almost all competitors (only the Chevy Bolt is comparable on cost and range).

Autonomous driving will be a game changer, but it's also vitally important for Tesla to capture the electric vehicle mass market.

Unless humans with back pain procreate less than those without, then I doubt it's going to get any better in 20,000 years. At least not due to evolution of the human skeleton.

Technology may help though, assuming we don't do something stupid and stop our technological progress. (like, for example, electing a president that thinks saving money in the short term is more important than long term sustainability)

Not to sound hippy, but yoga-asana has really worked for me. I initially just started with 20 minutes a day and it's worked wonders. Just the starting sequence of the ashtanga series is enough to reap massive benefits. Obviously, check with your doctor and your health before starting this. Yes this is anecdotal experience, and yes it may not work for everyone, but it certainly helped me, so paying it forward with the hopes it will help someone else.

Would begin with a few rounds of sun salutations, and the fundamental positions. And of course, get a teacher and/or proceed very slowly and very carefully, as with many exercises, you can injure yourself if you don't do it correctly.

You do have access to the upvote button,so your vote can cancel out an unfair downvote.

Comments that get downvotes also don't get upvotes, so it's not just the small group who can downvotes who are causing the comments to be gray, it's also the large group who could upvotes but who chose not to do so.
I think you've just crushed a lot of libertarian dreams. But you're right. If there is no official and relatively accountable government, it would be just some war lord of some other type of bully taking over and demanding their own "tax" to let you be in any given area.

In Rust it's pretty limited. Here is the full list, from the Rustonomicron:

Dereferencing null or dangling pointers
Reading uninitialized memory
Breaking the pointer aliasing rules
Producing invalid primitive values:
dangling/null references
a bool that isn't 0 or 1
an undefined enum discriminant
a char outside the ranges [0x0, 0xD7FF] and [0xE000, 0x10FFFF]
a non-utf8 str
Unwinding into another language
Causing a data race

Note that all of these are inside of unsafe blocks. Besides unsafe blocks, Rust has no undefined behavior, and the compiler will prevent you from doing any of these things.

I don't think this is a fair comparison. The article you reference specifically mentions "one giant container ship can emit almost the same amount of cancer and asthma-causing chemicals as 50m cars", but it doesn't seem to mention any comparison to Co2. The parent was talking about CO2.

It's fair to say that removing 50 million vehicles is equal to removing one container ship in terms of sulphur dioxide, or other pollutants, though

I believe it will happen, it's not really relevant if I agree with it.

Think about how much battery tech has improved in the last 50 years, now extrapolate forward 50 more.

As I see it, Eastlink has of course the right to change/close that mail address, but - as often happens - it is the way the "closing of the account" happens that is most inconvenient.

I doubt that technically it is in any way "difficult" or "complex" to set the account to "receive only" for - say - three months and then set it to "read only" (i.e. only an accessible snapshot of the e-mail account to a given date) for another - say - three months.

I had recently something simlar happening, with another provider of free web-mail, where I have had an account for - if maybe not 20 - at least 17-18 years, I beleive I was among one of the first users at the time.
They decided to close the service (which is as said OK to me, after all it was a free service with just a few ads when logging in) but they did so rather abruptly and more than that I continue getting on another account of mine notifications about mails arrived to that address that is now inaccessible, which should mean that the e-mail account is still "on" and that it was simply prevented accessing it, even in read only mode.

As often happens, no way to contact (or no response from) the support.

Daniel Dennett has a nice phrase for what plants, etc. do: Competence without comprehension. I think it sort of applies here.

I do not see Python as the natural choice for a first language. I've even had adult colleagues squint when I tried to explain decorators, or objects and all the self/static/class/method binding nonsense.

OOP in Python is something I really cannot like. I teach the language to children and as soon as I get to objects (which is not avoidable in Python, as many libraries and the language itself use objects) the number of concepts I have to explain is too much and I get the dreaded blank stare. I haven't so far found a short explanation that gives them a good enough grasp on objects that they can start making their own.

Ideally I would like to have to explain few orthogonal concepts, as learning a new concept in the abstract is hard and their mind has little patience for it, and let them experiment as soon as possible. But experimentation needs the minimum mastery required to combine the concepts and get some result. Pyhton's objects tend to expose their functions+struct guts, which does not help.

And don't get me started on warts like the "global" keyword, which makes simple scripts with global state and a few functions (a step into learning functions and structured programming) a frustrating and buggy process. I still cannot understand async/await enough to be comfortable with it, and if Armin Ronacher doesn't either... Meanwhile, languages like Oz do concurrency, with actual parallelism, beautifully.

I'm starting to think Scheme and Smalltalk would be excellent beginner languages. "Here's how to make an s-expr; these s-expr are applications, these are definitions. Now go."
