Counterpoint: EVs plugged in at work charge during the day. Scaling up charging infrastructure at work probably pays for its own deployment in reduced energy storage costs. If the underlying economics are there, it's "just" about getting the incentives right.

An always-connected EV fleet can dispatch charging from a central load-leveling server, passing a percentage of the utility revenue along to incentivize the EV owner. Such a car would always Do The Right Thing(TM) with respect to TOU/tiered metering, real-time (or forecast) renewable generation, local distribution grid loading, and the availability of any extra baseload generation at night.

Personally I would want the option to always immediately charge the car to X miles of range (to drive to the local hospital), and to always charge to Y miles by Z:00 every day (for commuting). Subject to those constraints, the service provider is free to shift around the charging schedule to suit conditions on the local electric grid. The more leeway the service provider has to shift charging around, the more the EV owner earns.

Obviously Tesla is pursuing this, but I hope they have competition.
Self driving cars can enable both urbanism and sprawl, depending on their deployment— if the existence of self-driving vehicle fleets at a per-mile price competitive with a personal car enables the collapse of personal car ownership in cities, that will open up a lot of possibilities for urban infill.

It will make the politics of building mid-rise housing without extensive, expensive underground parking space a lot more politically palatable in American cities. The same is true of replacing parking with pedestrian and bike infrastructure. And that says nothing about the safety benefits that will make cycling and walking a lot more pleasant and accessible in a lot of the US. (There are no technical barriers to building mid-rise urban housing without parking and replacing parking with high-quality pedestrian and bike infrastructure in the US today, but the politics are very difficult as drivers treat free/cheap access to city-owned street space as a right)

Plus, urbanites paying the marginal per-mile cost of a robotaxi trip, as opposed to buying a car as a huge sunk cost and then trying to get the maximum use from it, means that people will consider the car-versus-transit-versus-bike economics a lot more often, rather than buying a car and becoming someone who drives everywhere.
It may require that electric providers require deferred charging, even to the point they set when you can. While you could defer your charging don't expect that everyone will. As we see with charging stations in areas with more EVs there are those who just don't care. We need to instruct future owners the expected etiquette

> Put another way: today you can still get the same type and quality of care that was available in the 1960s,

> If unemployed that long then you'd qualify for Medicaid after that, the government insurance program for the poor.

You don't qualify for Medicaid based on duration of unemployment; whether, and in what form, you would qualify for Medicaid depends on income, assets, and state you live in (Medicaid is a state-run program with some federal standards, though even the most basic broad-strokes qualifications differ between states, especially between those participating in the expansion under the ACA and those not.)

Except that people do, in fact, die because of lack of health insurance in the US.

I'm pretty sure I've heard this argument made about the campaign for our recent President as well. HRC had to use words well because she, and her supporters, believe in them.

While DJT and his supporters believe in "LOL - just kidding - can't you take a joke? Don't be so uptight." So he was free to play with the truth. His supporters aren't trying to convince themselves - they know their arguments to be BS - instead they're trying to find the secret code to convince enough bystanders.

Thanks for taking my musings seriously and for giving such a thoughtful reply.
I live in Maine. You are correct. They teach French in school, to everyone. Some areas have classes in French that are not specifically French learning classes. The majority of those living here without documentation are Canadians. If you get into cities like Lewiston, you'll find whole areas where French is commonly spoken.

It's kinda neat, actually. I am also a citizen of Canada, but don't speak French. It's fun to learn and be exposed to the culture, but I digress.
Completely agree with this. I'd also add that amazon doesn't just seek to dominate an industry but also to make it difficult for future competitors to enter the space in the first place. Raising prices could in theory create a gap for a future/current competitor to step in.

> "If Tesla folds in a few years everyone will just point at Leafs and whatever else is out saying look Tesla was the one who started this.

Tesla fans will say it either way."

Why do you think that is?
I don't really know Go, but I'm assuming that this behaves like a similar C program where the type of i is uint8_t (unsigned 8-bit byte).

First loop iteration: i is zero. i is post-incremented and becomes 1.

Loop iterations where i is in the range 1..253 blah, blah, blah... we just keep printing and incrementing.

Loop iteration i = 254: i is post-incremented. i is now 255. This is the highest possible value for an 8-bit integer, when interpreted as an unsigned value.

Loop iteration i = 255. The check still passes. The body still executes. i is post-incremented. i wraps around (this behavior is mandatory according to the C standard, and I assume it is the same in Go). i is now zero.

Next test of loop condition: i is still less than or equal to 255... so around we go.

What was the desired/expected behavior? I mean, I don't see anything that really should be some kind of language WTF or shocking behavior for a low-level language. It's just a common error, failing to take unsigned overflow into account, and/or not realizing that unsigned values never roll over to negative.
We are very excited to share this release of Voyager. Some of the notable features are:

- Serve both HTTP and HTTPS under same host #262

- Allow users to specify NodePort in NodePort & LoadBalancer mode. #128

- Add configure option for Haproxy default timeout. #286

- Run L7 ingress on non-standard ports #73

- Supports TLS enabled Backend #408

- Allows custom options in HAProxy config #403

$10k MVP
Wassup HN. I'm Scott Moss, CEO and co founder of onespeed.io. Also an avid JS open source person and active in the community. OneSpeed is a dev shop specializing in all things JS. We mostly work with fortune 500's like but recently have been reflecting on what keeps us happy. The big contracts pay the bills for sure, but most of the time they're not fun. Tech is stale, teams can be hard to work with, and all the politics. We love working with startups and teams starting out. We're working on some SaaS ourselves! So to make it easier for teams to get their MVP's out, we decided to launch the $10k MVP service. A flat fee and we build out your web or mobile MVP with some restrictions:

* web OR mobile app only
* scoped so that it could be complete in 5 weeks
* We use our own processes to ensure speed and efficiency

We have some of the most talented JS folks around (framework creators, instructors, and top open source contributors), so we should be able to push out that MVP for you. If you're interested, contact me scott@onespeed.io
Well of course, that goes without saying. The best product in the world won't sell if no one knows about it.
This is a shallow reading of Zeynep Tufekci's work (which I agree is among the sharpest analyses out there). She very explicitly calls out sites like Twitter, Reddit, and Facebook for not doing enough to curb hate speech and harassment. Some quotes from her latest book:

"I later realized that the attackers had also been organizing online, using the same affordances as other activists for positive change—but only to attack female writers who touched upon gender-related topics. They were using Twitter’s ease of organization and willingness to let them operate freely to target the freedom of speech and assembly of others. Like many platforms, Twitter had wanted to remain “neutral” but, as is often the case, rights of one group—the group who wanted to silence women or minorities—clashed with rights of women or minorities (especially outspoken ones) to freely use the site to speak and assemble. A stance of “neutrality” meant, in reality, choosing the former over the latter."

"As with many of the issues I study, it is difficult to have a coherent and unified normative view or a simple rule that would apply in all cases that all doxing is good or bad by itself. There are always trade-offs. These judgments have to be made in the context of whose rights are allowed to trample whose, what ethical values will be protected and which ones disregarded. Will we protect children’s right to be free of sexual exploitation, or the rights of adult men to anonymously gather and exploit? But will we also protect the right of dissidents around the world to be able to post pseudonymously? There is no single, simple answer that covers all ethical and normative questions that come up for platforms and their policies, without the need to judge many of these cases individually, rather than applying blanket rules."

All of chapter 7 of her book on this is good: https://www.twitterandteargas.org/downloads/twitter-and-tear...
It's more nuanced than that though. The question is where to draw the line about which behaviors are bad and which ones aren't. Things like murder are obviously bad in most cases and should be suppressed, but social structures are not so clear cut. If there aren't any clear consequences to a instinctual behavior then it's probably better to not suppress it.
So GM engineering got the hardware integrated with the vehicle and engineered it for assembly line production. That's what GM engineering does. Whether the Cruise software is good enough for self-driving without driver attention remains to be seen.

Volvo is doing well with their self-driving car, but admits the hardware cost is over $100K per car at present.
Study finds 27 distinct categories of emotion
Last I saw, the tests in Phoenix had human back-up drivers. Has something changed recently?
I've had that thought too, I would say there is some validity to that explanation.
But that would also be anecdotal, not evidence. As our testers keep telling our developers, "it works on my machine" is not an acceptable investigation into the problem.

Also, that presumes that what I am doing is actually working, which is a matter that could easily be debated.

If I were to personalize a 12-step into something workable for me:

1. Admit that your enemy is yourself--the problems you can solve come from you.
2. Realize that no one other than you can save you from yourself.
4. Analyze those parts of yourself that war against each other. Reconcile them.
8. Explicitly list the undesirable side effects of your behavior.
9. Apologize to others where necessary. Forgive yourself. Pledge to do better.
10. Think about consequences before acting. Be one unified self in thought and action.

From my perspective, several of the 12 steps involve intentionally fragmenting one's personality even further beyond those that must already exist in order to perform self-destructive acts. The "God" character is you, pretending to be someone that cares about you, perhaps with a parental figure pasted over it as a facade. Other people are then able to coach you and give direction on how to play that character, which may not necessarily benefit you.

My problem with this ultimately lies in the fact that I have a personality fragment that delights in positing conspiracy theories and unraveling deceptions, who just immediately pokes holes in all attempts at self-deception, even when it is for the purpose of self-improvement. Since religious self-deception is an integral and indivisible part of every 12-step, that rules out 5 of the steps altogether, and there's no particular reason to proselytize half of something, so that rules out the 12th, too.
If you're looking for stories along these lines, I recommend Jeannette Walls' memoir _The Glass Castle_. The author and one sibling arguably escaped a rock bottom situation. Her parents (and one sibling) never did. It's a basis for some pretty sobering reflection on the problems of alcoholism and the merits of conscientiousness.

"it's because you don't know the tool and don't use it properly" it is likely more a problem of CSS ergonomics more than a global developer and designer population problem, don't you think?

I know. Same with textareas, especially if they're wrapped in some kind of scrollable container. It is a mess. I don't know why it's not being fixed.

The only reason I can think of is that Apple intentionally keeps the mobile experience slightly crappy so that people perceive native apps having higher quality.

Of all companies, Apple should be the one with the best usability in a browser, no? But hardly so.

I would enter $1, as mentioned elsewhere.

"I noticed you entered $1 here. Can you please correct with your actual salary?"

Answers:
"No"

"I'm sorry, but I do not share previous salary information"

"As a matter of principle, I won't be sharing previous salary information"

"Yes I'm aware that it is required, and I would love to work for BigCo, but I won't be sharing my previous salary information"

"I understand you need to enter salary information, but I do not share that information with any prospective employer. I sincerely hope we can move forward."

Notice that the reasoning for each response is "because I said so" and is not open to prying HR tactics. They will try hard to make you second guess yourself, they may revoke the offer. Stick to your guns, "No salary info. I'd love to work there. Let's move on."

> on an individual basis it's not that hard.

Well, yeah, that's the difference between micro and macro. In a free society without a nobility or class system, it's possible for any one individual to rise from poverty to privilege with luck and hard work. But if it's a zero-sum game where one success is another's loss, then "being the example" isn't an example of anything, it's just being the winner instead of the loser. Of course, most success isn't entirely zero-sum, but it has too many zero-sum elements far too often and is also too-often entirely zero-sum. And some people try to ignore the entire issue of when or whether or how-much some success is zero-sum.

> The good thing about capitalism is that the average quality of life gets elevated.

Crediting "capitalism" here is entirely dubious. The correct credit goes to technology and innovation. There's nowhere near adequate evidence to conclude that capitalism itself automatically increases average quality of life. Perhaps you are mistakenly lumping all of trade and markets with "capitalism"? Markets are often positive for everyone, and trade is generally positive for everyone, raising everyone's quality of life. In our society, probably because of propaganda to this effect, people consider markets and capitalism synonymous sometimes, the same semantic way people in some contexts might consider "moral" and "religious" (or even "Christian") to by synonymous.

In short, if you're just saying that markets and trade benefit everyone generally (but not necessarily), then we have no disagreement there.

For your type we actually have an open source full bpm solution at www.processmaker.com. It's a full bpm workflow suite that you can run on premise. Open source and enterprise support available. Pm.io is purely a lightweight workflow engine specifically for isvs and developers for embedding functionality.

Now we are considering also providing on premise and private cloud deployments for enterprise customers for this specific platform too.
It generates about 1kw per day. Worth say $0.15. So about 4 years, if you never have clouds.

This is a "best practice" in imperative land as well.
Styled components uses tagged template literals so they aren't just strings and are very flexible. This blog post is a great explanation http://mxstbr.blog/2016/11/styled-components-magic-explained.... For example

<Button active > This will be bold </Button>

Clipboards support storing different content for different MIME types at the same time. Atom would have to put text/html (or some other colored markup) in addition to text/plain into the clipboard and then Keynote would have to know what to insert. The infrastructure for interoperability is there, the endpoints just need to actually support it.

10kWh × 165M on the night grid, that's big impact.

I went and got the miles travelled per year and the total nr of vehicles, you are not far off. although we are forgetting that most traffic is during weekdays, and the size of the cars varies (and with it the usage) For convenience I don't do anything with the size of the cars.

"According to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics for 2012, there were 254,639,386 registered vehicles. Of these, 183,171,882 were classified as "Light duty vehicle, short wheel base", while another 50,588,676 were listed as "Light duty vehicle, long wheel base". Another 8,190,286 were classified as vehicles with two axles and six or more tires and 2,469,094 were classified as "Truck, combination". There were 8,454,939 motorcycles also listed along with 764,509 buses."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passenger_vehicles_in_the_Unit...

250m vehicles in us, if 150m of those are electrical at some point, and the number of miles driven total might be 3.5T miles by then (3.5×0.6=2.1T) 2.1/150m/313×1.6 (6 days of driving a week, and miles to km) comes to 71 km per day, which is 14 kWh (6/7 days) of required draw.
I think it is manageable like you said, considering that it will take a while.
