I'd concur, this and more a leaning towards smaller cars, again due to population densities and proximity to resources (shops etc). Which may also explain less pickup trucks, which would be more useful in a more spread out resource/population as would allow large load transportation. Which given distance and time, would make sense. Which equally allows any bulk material resource supplier more able to provide delivery as cost effective for them, again due to population density. After all, if you have a spread out customer base of equal numbers then it may make more sense to not offer delivery, leave that to the customer and offset that with offering cheaper product price. Then any delivery option on offer will be custom and more expensive as would be farmed out, but still an option. So the tendency to go for a pickup truck, increases for the populus in more spread out area's.

But equally can't overlook the government incentives offered in many European countries and those have been IMHO pretty aggressive, making EV's a very tempting option for consumers.

Though, gas/petrol/diesel is more expensive in Europe and does not have the governmental subsidies many other countries offer and is equally very taxed. Again making EV's, very much cost effective for so many. Some places even offer free charging, if not subsidised charging.

So factoring is the demand for smaller vehicles needing to go shorter distances and those incentives/subsidies, then you can see why EV's in Europe garnering much traction.

I almost forgot congestion charges, EV's avoid those and they can add up in some cities/area's (thinking London for example).

Aren't embedded systems already there? What is a firmware blob if not a monolithic static build artifact? Bazel is perfect for this. I recently taught it how to build boot images for Xilinx FPGAs including a bitstream, first stage bootloader, kernel, and initial ramdisk, all hermetically built and bottled up into a boot.bin. I can reproduce my firmware from source control and get out the same bits. How neat is that?

I get what you're saying, although my view is a little different. Where we agree is that it's key to measure the horsepower a company is contributing to society. However, my perspective is that profit is a better approximation of that than revenue.[0] Revenue is often more reflective of input costs than value generated. For example, if you buy $900k of steel, spend $25k doing something to it, and then sell the resulting product for $1m, then how much value did you create? I'd argue that it's the profit ($75k) and not the revenue ($1m).

[0] That said, profit isn't a perfect metric either. By that measure, Amazon contributes almost nothing to society. Some combination of R&D reinvestment and contribution margins is probably a better metric.
Yet Twitter is much more popular in Japan, where the higher information density of the written language effectively gave them this feature from the start.
For Topicbox (which doesn’t use React, but that’s irrelevant), I decided a good signal to check was Object.values; if it’s missing, we include core-js. Thus, older browsers (IE, Safari≤10.0, iOS≤10.2, Chrome≤53, Firefox≤46 and Edge≤13?) will pull that in, but recent versions of all browsers won’t need the weight (the check is very light, and the overhead roughly `Object.values||require('core-js')`), and you have a solid and dependable ES6+ base to build on.
There're millions of people living in all these places and it's a typical mistake to think that they have the same uniform opinion. You can take any subset from the population and create an illusion that they all support or reject something, like US forces presence. I see this in news every time I open them or watch TV.
I'm unable to parse what is meant by "twitter hashtag hottake". If anything, hashtags are already overused on twitter, and I imagine this will make it worse (like the neverending stream of useless hashtags on instagram that nobody will ever ever search for). Are you saying the hashtag hottake is to use a single (?) hashtag to provide a meta-description of the content?

I think perhaps the problem is, try as I might, I can't really get my head around the term 'hot take' and it alway seems to lead me astray when I try to figure it out in a new context.
You can get used Nissan Leafs in the Bay Area with 30-40k miles on them for under $9k, from private party sellers.

Japanese cars don't depreciate as much as other cars, in general, but the Nissan Leaf has terrible resale value. So do some of the other all-electric cars, like the Fiat 500e. I suspect the prospective buyers are worried about the battery going bad or losing capacity over time. That would be very expensive to fix without a warranty.

I am working in the US, and because of that no bank in my homecountry is willing to touch me with a 12ft pole. They will literally not allow me to have an account because FACTA is too much of a bother.

The lego question has as much to do with programming as biology question. You literally test whether the person played with lego or othrr robot kit somewhere. Why would you expect programmer to do so?

The database question seems better, because any programmer should have slight experience with it.
Protectionism is how every world power today got to that position. The US in the 19th century, and the UK in the 18th-19th were highly protectionist, putting up very high tariffs in order to nurture their fledgling industries.
You can get decent Nissan Leafs with under 40k miles for less than $10k cash in California right now on sites like Carfax and AutoTrader -- no tax incentives are required to get them down to that price. The depreciation is that bad. If you bought one and took it to Colorado, you'd save even more money.

I have first-hand experience with this and this is really a significant problem and it's not a joke.

We are definitely not 'perfectly happy' - it 100% affects operational capabilities, including putting lives at risk - we operate without proper air support in some scenarios, finally the previous government faced the problem and bought some Chinooks (ironically from Boeing).

Trudeau is different only in tone from previous governments with respect to foreign engagement. In pragmatic reality our military involvements would be just the same.

Moreover - time is ticking severely on our F18's which are way-way past service windows.

As to the commenter above about F35's - it's very complicated, and our 'sticking to the f35' may have very well just been political. We never signed a deal, and never committed to a price - also - we still may buy them. Publicly pulling out of the deal means a number of local sub-contractors lose their contracts. Of course it's complicated though.
I agree with your idea that bicyclists need to be educated. As a non-car driver, I remember the first time I went riding in the city with my wife she was shocked that I didn't know how to make a legal left turn. But how was I supposed to know? It is not like the logic behind left turn rules is obvious.
Meteor works on top of Node, so any host that can host a Node.js app can host a Meteor app. I'm also not sure if I'd use Meteor at scale, but I love writing the initial version of projects in it.

Doing a project in Meteor + React right now, and it's kind of fun.
It's an interesting topic, basically the question is who is responsible for the actions.

A somewhat related topic, an artist created a bot that randomly bought stuff from the darknet, drugs, fake shoes and a passport. But the artist did't get into any trouble.

I know a few Americans who would buy a car like this, but let's not kid ourselves -- it would not sell very well here. Most Americans prefer larger cars.

I drive a pretty small car, but I don't think I would get one of these, either. If I got t-boned by a Chevy Tahoe, there would be no chance of survival.
The Apple podcasts app is absolutely atrocious, and it only got worse in iOS11 where my podcasts aren't even in chronological order. (My previous gripe was that it simply refused to download podcasts until i hit cancel/download in succession for EVERY SINGLE PODCAST that was queued up, or else wait until some random time of day when it seemingly was able to download them all. This bug has persisted for years).

Unfortunately, I also play podcasts from my phone to my Sonos. It's bad enough that my bookmarks (last listened to location) aren't available when moving between the Podcasts app and the Sonos app, so the last thing I'm going to do is get a 3rd app into the mix where I have to manage subscriptions on 2 and listen on a 3rd.
Fake news isnt done to convince you about a poltical opinion its mostly done to get you to click the link or share it and through that make money on advertising. Judging it on some truth parameter is absurd instead it should be judged on its advertising strategy IMO.

You make a great point.

This is, I think, a kind of negotiating tactic.

But this is generally not how trade negos work - I think that this is the Trump Admin's version of hardball.

US gov is big and diverse, and once it's appealed, the body making the ruling may not be part of Trump's apparatus directly and may have something more level-headed to say about all this.

See this HN thread about historical global imperialism, under the guise of business. It provides a counter perspective as poor countries were historically fleeced by the business (and military) interests of Western nations. Chinese "protectionism" seems reasonable, if not expected, through that lens.

Most of the time, it's not about the characters but more about the words. If you want to say more in only 140 characters you have to fit more words in, which means using shorter words... and that's why 99% of Twitter users sound like idiots, even though most of them probably are not.

I take a philosophy that "executable comments" are better than "static comments". So instead of writing a comment to explain some gnarly bit of logic, I'll try to do the reverse of inlining and break pieces into little, suitably-named functions.

The vast majority of my comments are either javadoc-style function protocols or high-level discussion on subsystem purpose and architecture.

Leaning on this commenting style, I find that looking at past code of mine is much easier to re-grok than having lots of explanatory comments everywhere.

I don't know. But Facebook owns around 5200 patents. Add the previous patent clause to it and you have a good probability that there are patents covering parts of react. VirtualDOM is certainly a candidate.
Black widows have a much worse bite than brown recluses. A black widow bite won't kill you, it'll just make you hurt so much you'll wish you were dead. There's antivenom but it's not without its own side effects so sometimes your best option is just to "ride out the pain." Contrast this with brown recluses, which rarely bite and when they do it's often painless and easy to treat.

I have so many black widows living in my house I've given up trying to get rid of them. I leave them alone and they take care of flies and leave me alone. No brown recluses live in my state, but still people here worry far more about the benign, nonexistent brown recluse than the much more potentially dangerous and prevalent black widow. Or they get all bent about the big tarantulas here, which are so harmless that little kids (who know the truth) collect them and keep them as pets.

Snakes are a similar story. We have a lot of rattlesnakes where I live, and they're dangerous if you get bit and don't go to the hospital. A better plan is just not to get bit, and that's generally pretty easy with a snake unless you surprise it. I relocate rattlesnakes when I find them in my yard and my neighbors call me to relocate them from their yards, but the prevailing mentality in most people is to kill the snake first and ask questions later. Which is a shame since most snakes in the U.S. are nonvenomous and all snakes decrease the population of vermin like rodents that carry nasty diseases like plague and hantavirus.

People need to get over their prejudices.
Also, people should appreciate that fighting fake news hurts Google's bottom line in the short run.

I guess in the long run they are better off with legitimate traffic, since scamy websites and shitty ads are the reason for why many people now install ad blockers. But it's actually rare to see a company thinking ahead of the next quarter.

Dot Link – Dots and Boxes for App Store
Well, their exposed ISA and ABI are probably considered to be genAsm, which is the aforementioned mostly-LLVM-based IR. The concrete machine code will mostly likely only ever be generated by the specializer in the real world. Consider the specializer to be the static software equivalent of the x86-to-uOp decoding core in the hardware of a modern x86. On the one hand it can only make static scheduling decisions, whereas on the other hand it can look at the entire program being translated to make those decisions rather than just the window of instructions the x86 decoder can see during execution.

I really think this is the only path to make a long-term-viable staticly-scheduled architecture. Otherwise you'll wind up with the Itanium problem, which is that you eventually need to rewrite/reorder code internally (in hardware) as your architecture evolves, which kind of removes the advantage of having the static scheduling in the first place.
I think it's a useful thought experiment. Some reasons why it seems like a bad idea:

a) Bugs. Browsers are already pretty much the most complex software out there, and they have tons of bugs. A meta-browser would be orders of magnitude more complex, and so likely have orders of magnitude more bugs.

b) Security. Special case of a) above. Browsers have had decades to gradually iron out security issues, and we still see periodic flare-ups. A meta-browser would start from scratch and be taking on a much bigger problem. You would need some way to allow people to add new engines without causing them to insert malicious code, interfere with other websites' browser engines, steal people's information, etc. It's hard enough protecting people when all malicious websites have is html and javascript. It's much worse when they have the ability to write Assembly. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ActiveX for an earlier attempt at this.

c) Adoption. Writing a browser engine is a lot of work, which is why there hasn't been a new one in a decade. If every web app had to provide a browser engine nobody would build web apps for your meta browser. Everyone would end up just using one of your default engines, at which point you're back to the current state of the world but with all the complexity of points a) and b) above.

It's worth backing up and asking yourself: what is the problem you're trying to solve. Then we can talk about whether it's really a problem and what the solution might look like, without immediately barreling down the first solution that comes to mind.
Till Dinner Do Us Part
It’s also dumb when I have to read 3 tweets in a sequence by the same person trying to get a single point across, each one with a different set of comments, likes, and retweets.

Im not sure this will fix it though, maybe it will help. I feel like the same could be accomplished with an expando at whatever limit they set. That way when I browse twitter the tweet boxes are still the same size as originally, and if i want to read more I can tap the expand box button.
For apps, I personally like React more than I'm willing to admit. Basically, React is MVw done right and has kindof won the JavaScript framework wars for me. My only wish would be that JSX be based on a standard syntax extension of JavaScript to handle markup literals in the language rather than using transpiling/ babel. And that React could be more readily used with a notion of web components (eg. layered on top of an independent component API).

For docs, OTOH, I think that anything going after this space has to be able to support all of HTML markup, given the massive installed base of browsers and web content. HTML as a markup language, however, has seen no love from WHATWG who focus on APIs instead, and W3C'S XML and RDF efforts for a more declarative web are epic fails. I've spent significant time to bring back SGML to the web, which remains the only standardized technology being able to completely parse HTML ([1]), and having the ability to define new markup vocabularies. One goal here is to come up with a way to publish content on the Web and on p2p at the same time, based on straightforward file replication, including for the case of limited forms of distributed authoring.

I think the quality of the content really depend on the people we end up following.

When I started Twitter, I started out with my school/college friends and some random tech blogs/site etc. My friends doesn't tweet a lot(Less people use Twitter in India compared to Facebook) or the sites that I follow mostly had crapy content, making my timeline looking awful. I stopped using Twitter. About a year before I came back to the platform, un-followed all of them and started following tech people. Mostly people from js/golang/python communities. Now my timeline has more quality content that I do not get time to read all of them(links to blogs etc). I do agree that at times there are some political opinions but not the majority so its okay.
