It is weird how Germany is still so cash based. Even younger kids will count out coins at grocery stories, and they're convinced it's faster than using a card (their cards do take a while). Most of their cities still use paper train tickets! Many cities are skipping the tap/card systems all together and going straight to phone apps (which I don't really like. My card will always validate if a ticket inspector comes on the train. My phone can run out of battery).

I found Laravel (PHP) to be almost the equivalent to Rails (Ruby) with https://lumen.laravel.com/ similar to Sinatra. I've coded, tested, debugging in both extensively. That said I don't consider Ruby declining at all and personally prefer Rails over Laravel (language, ecosystem, packages, day-to-day coding).
OP does not understand that he is far more enthusiastic about his Prius than the rest of the world.

Too much of this article is based on unsubstantiated, overly optimistic predictions, and the reasoning is regularly fallacious. Two examples:

1. OP lists expensive repairs for combustion vehicles, then suggests that because said parts do not exist in EVs, that EVs are cheaper to maintain. This is nonsense, first of all most of the parts listed almost never require repairs (how often do you spend >$1000 to replace a catalytic converter?) and secondly, it is (deliberately?) misleading to ignore that EVs have specialized parts of their own to repair. The fact that there are fewer parts is not enough data to suggest that an EV is cheaper automatically to maintain, or more reliable. Further, there is a risk that some people will spend more money on EV repair because they may require specialized equipment to maintain.

2. His "current estimates" sources are based on extrapolation of current tesla battery performance, which is an uncertain predictor of future performance given how little time the tested batteries have spent in use.

3. When OP leaps to self driving cars as another reason for the emergence of EVs, he also conveniently misses that there is utility and sentimental value in owning your own car.

tl;dr: Will EVs eventually supersede ICVs? Sure. But putting out an article which says with certainty, and a straight face, that no one will want oil in 8 years is just unnecessarily smug.
Talking to people behind self driving car companies the issue is not the self driving technology or laws it's more infrastructure around extremely low latency internet to make self driving cars work in the general wild. This article assumes mass adoption really quickly but who knows how quickly our general infrastructure will be updated to enable this especially in third world countries that are ramping up in traditional cars consumption but are notorious for bad mass scale infrastructure (Brazil/ India).
>the US will need to find another way to sustain its currency

The threat of the US economy collapsing is plenty enough reason to strike new deals to sustain its currency.

I think you're overstating the role of oil here.

Other currencies without that exclusive deal, and backed by less economic and military power, have also preserved their value.

csoze: "Rather than calling it dogma because it doesn't agree with YOUR world view."
galacticpony2's statement was valid, csoze, yours is not. As Damore and the scientists who have done the research have stated is biology is PART of the reason. The social constructivists TEND to say the opposite, meaning they TEND to say it's entirely social and literally deny any evidence of a role played by biology even when the evidence is undeniable, such as when experiments involve manipulation of brain chemistry, or control for social influence. That's dogma, and validates galacticpony2's assertion.

Since economies are deeply interconnected it is clear that it is in nobody's interest to allow the US economy to collapse.

It costs less to make an IC engine than to make an electric drivetrain. Replacement cost for a Tesla drivetrain is about $6000 - $15000. Replacement for an volume-product automotive engine is about $2,250 to $4,000. Detroit put a lot of effort over the years into making engine manufacture cheap.

Pretty sure you’re not finding a new engine for a BMW 5 series for $4000 and that’s a cheaper car than Tesla S/X
This article makes a number of flawed assumptions:

- It neglects the environmental impact of battery production.
- Diesel motors can be significantly less expensive to maintain and operate, even more so as the reliability of
emissions-reducing technology is improved.
- Battery charging is nowhere near as fast or convenient as a gas station.
- Electricity must come from somewhere. Few places have steady wind and none have 24-hour solar energy.

The world will switch to electric vehicles when they offer sufficient cost-savings, convenience, and appeal. Until we solve all of those things (and not with massive government subsidies), they will continue to play second-fiddle to gas- and diesel-powered vehicles.

21 Ideas for Software Developer
Holy stereotypes, batman.

> Women can be great engineers, we just rarely care to become them

How do you presume to know what the majority of women care to be? I'm a woman, and I want to be a great engineer. I was extremely fortunate to grow up in an environment with a female technical role model (my mom), so I easily saw myself going this way, despite the societal emphasis on empathetic skills the rest of the world expected from me. Others were not so lucky.

It's hard to care to be something that you were never properly exposed to. I got that chance, you got that chance, but many women did not.
They are making to where a version of TreeTabs are possible, this new API will enable functionality like in Chrome (see my other comment) but it will not be the same.

I think Pai is the kind of scum that's only persuaded by what's filling up his own intestines.

He's not on some kind of Peter Thiel-level of cerebral, cold-hearted business mastery. He's just a big fat leech that somehow managed to climb the ladder far too high for anyone's good.
"As a disclaimer" (disclosure).
Or because they believed his manifesto to be both bullshit and a legal liability. Especially as the company -- which Damore accused of using its "money to water only one side of the lawn [i.e. women's]" -- fights off a possible class-action lawsuit [0] and an ongoing federal investigation [1] alleging discrimination against women.

Again, why should Google put the guy who lacks basic research skills (again, being ignorant of anti-discrimination cases brought by men) to be in charge of gathering and analyzing data?

The dollar doesn't get its value from oil, it gets its value from being the sole currency accepted for your tax bill, i.e. its value derives from its tax base. That is why fiat works, it's what "by fiat" means, and why commodity backing is not necessary. The dollar has been a far better currency since gold backing was removed. Gold was and is a terrible currency.

Every time I see someone make the argument that "all cars will be electric by 20XX" I feel like they are incredibly sheltered from rural life. The US is HUGE! Sure the majority of commuting could be replaced by electric cars but I've seen no evidence of them being able to replace ICEs for the "I want to go skiing/kayaking/hiking (pick an activity where your car sits on the side of the road all day) 2 hours away and return on the same day" situation. There are so many changes to infrastructure that need to be made to get there. Sure ski resorts and malls and park and rides might put in 1000s of chargers in their parking lots eventually, but it certainly won't happen by 2023 or whatever this article predicts. Sure the cars might exist, but the charging infrastructure won't by then.

You are just repeating yourself.

Let me ask this: what difference does the statistical differences found between genders in the general population matter for any small subset of that population?

If I had test scores from 1-1000 with 1 being the worst and 1000 being the best for a million people that match a normal distribution and I told you that I have a set of 10 that I picked non-randomly but I don't tell you how, what can you tell me about that sub-set of 10?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

What does it say about how that set of ten will do on the next test given only that you know the test will be an iteration on the last with some differences?

Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

So, why would it matter if, statistically, females exhibit certain behaviors more or less than males in the general population when applied to the subset that apply and work for Google?

Same. Answer.

What disturbs me (having Google stock, as many do) is how a person that doesn't understand this basic fact got past the Google hiring process and ended up an employee.

You are ignoring history. The US is the one (of 2) major countries to:

* NOT have been invaded/conquered

* NOT had major currency hyperinflation/devaluation

* long lasting (centuries at this point)

* currency reissue/replacement

The other arguable is the UK and the pound.
Very little of nursing is like that. Most nursing doesn't have lives in the balance most days. It does require being somewhat social with patients though.

You are forgetting one huge thing. Lots of women doing something make it automatically attractive to women just because it'll be common in their circles.
I used to think similarly several years ago. I now think differently for the following reasons:

* Citus and other technologies can now provide features that do a lot of the heavy lifting. Some examples are resharding, shard rebalancing, and the high availability features mentioned below.

* My estimates are for B2B (multi-tenant) apps. For those apps, we found that the steps you need to take in re-modeling your data and changing your app are fairly similar. At Citus, we used to shy away when we saw 200-300 tables. These days, complex apps and schemas have become commonplace.

* We saw dozens of complex B2B databases migrate in similar time frames. Yes, some took longer - I'm in the tech business and always an optimist. :)

No, I'm not. I didn't mention the word "biological", I'm not making any claim on what the underlying reasons for the distributions are. Does it have to be "clean" anyway? What does "clean" even mean? Do you believe society creates this distribution? If so, I'd be interested by which mechanism.

Secondly, heritability may only account for 40-60%, but that's more than zero. Now, how many percentage points do you suppose could be influenced by diversity programs over at Google?
