With the Safeway app, you don't get exactly the same coupons as your friend, but in my experience they're almost the same set. However, the app does achieve price discrimination without personalisation: people that are money-rich but time-poor won't bother checking the app for coupons before they go to the checkout, so will pay more than someone who pinches pennies.

But this form of price discrimination is not personalised. It's the same as that achieved with coupons published in magazines.

Personally I find that I don't ever use any of the more oop features of c++, especially copy constructors and assignment operators.

If I'm in a situation where I need to make a deep copy of an object, I need to ask myself why am I making an exact copy of a complex object with lots of internal pointers and state, an expensive operation. If I'm going to modify the result of the copy, perhaps what I should do is write a function that generates a new, different object based on the original one, in which case I would be passing in a const reference to the old object and maybe some other data about the new object I want to create. And if I'm not modifying the object, again why not just pass a const reference?
Also, the exact behavior of all these hidden functions can be really hard to figure out. Who wants to try and figure out how many times the copy and assignment operator is called if you do a=f(g(a)); and pass by value? No thanks.
The only problem with your analysis is that there appear to be 100s of thousands of US consumers who want a pure electric car and not a (Edit: plugin) hybrid, many more people than are interested in hybrids. So you've got a fine personal datapoint, but you don't appear to be typical of the market, or at least of a market big enough to launch a high-volume car.

Early adopters help bring the costs down for everyone else.

By making the car more affordable for wealthy (but not that wealthy) people, it eventually brings the cost down for everybody.

That's a pretty big drop, any idea why it goes down so much?
Sure. And I guess what I'm trying to say, in short, is that the wishes of incumbents can be both understandable, but best ignored. If that sounds like a contradiction, it's probably because it is. I think it's really hard to develop a coherent set of politics on this topic.

your case in point is that someone who wanted to park decided not to use his brakes?

is removing your foot from the accelerator instead of using the brake a standard learned behavior amongst bolt/volt owners?
not as good as the supercharger network, obviously, but there are level 2's everywhere there are dealerships nowadays and there will only be more chargers as time goes on. for long trips we use my diesel 3-series.
The question I have to ask: Has anyone here gotten an EV and successfully gotten a charger setup going in an apartment garage?

For where I live, I'd say we have 100-150 parking spaces, all underground. There are two spaces that have chargers, which are first-come-first-served, I don't count them.

So, the idea would be to get my own charger. I already have a safe place to put it: There is a wide-but-not-deep storage unit at the back of my parking space, with concrete behind it. I could have a charger properly mounted to the concrete wall, and I don't use the storage space, so I could keep it open when charging. The annoyance then is having to get a little electrical conduit run to the nearest place where a meter can be installed. That's likely going to be all the way across the length of the garage, and then up a level.

As for work, there are charge points on Stanford's campus, but they are not free. Assuming I take a charging slot for the entire workday, I'd be paying around $3,400 per year, for charging fees and a parking permit.

>That excess fructose is broken down by the liver and transformed into fat globules (triglycerides)

I believe this is not "that" accurate. Generally the presence of excess carbohydrates cause the body to prioritize sucrose/fructose/glucose to glycogen conversion and storage & usage. Dietary Lipids that are ingested are stored rather than used for energy. While, De novo lipogenesis (turning carbs to lipids) does occur, it is inefficient enough that the body barely converts something around 1% of carbs to fat.

Since glycogen is stored in the liver and muscles, and insulin signals the muscles & liver to take up the glycogen in the blood, this is probably where diabetes starts when the liver and muscles are already filled with enough glycogen and there is no where for the glycogen in the bloodstream to go.

If the body could efficiently convert sugars to lipids, I don't think diabetes would be that much of an issue. People would just get obese with the diabetes.

AFAIK, the priorities for energy consumption of the body is:

1. sugars into glycogen into ATP

2. protein into glucose into glycogen (gluconeogenesis) into ATP (some limited amount)

3. lipids into ketone bodies into ATP

So as long as the body was sugars to use up, that is the priority of usage.

One of the most calorically intensive tasks the body does is growth and repair of new tissue. Excess sugars are generally used up by kids who are growing. However, once people reach adulthood, the growth rate slows so significantly that the excess caloric intake forces all the lipids ingested to be stored.
Yes, because that’s how regenerative braking works. This was discussed at length in the linked article.
I've seen people charging bolts and plug in hybrids on my street with the wire run across the sidewalk (ie. from their home to the car parked on the street out front). Its a low-traffic residential area (East Bay) and I think this should be legal as it allows many people who have homes but no driveways to own and charge EVs. Maybe there should be a special rubber wire cover to protect the cord and so people don't trip. I hope someone doesn't trip and fall, sue the owner and ruin it for everyone.

It would take months of perfect artillery fire to destroy Seoul, assuming 100% detonation rate, unlimited ammo and assuming zero artillery is destroyed. They would run out of ammo before destroying Seoul, even in the impossible perfect scenario.

If only there were something in between artillery shelling and nuclear weapons...

Used car prices have been dropping in general. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15076441 from two months ago.
I wonder if it makes more sense to lease vs. buy now (since self driving, electric, etc. technology is progressing quickly) -- it seems like lease discount/money factor isn't going down as quickly as it should with these cars. (I've never bought a new car, and never leased as a car, but probably will get a new EV as my next -- an S, 3, or Bolt.)

Owning is great if you keep the car for 8-12 years like I've done, but I can't imagine any EV sold today being competitive in 5-10 years, even with software upgrades.

Nice use of Huginn!
When I was young, I just had one or two things of homework a day in third grade. The assignment was either in math, english, science, or social studies/history and you could choose which you wanted to do based off of buckets by subject. You then took home a big fold-up of an assignment. It was fun unwrapping it, doing the work, and then giving it back. You never knew exactly what you would have to do until you opened your big sheet of paper at home.

The point was that at the end of the semester everyone did every assignment, but everyone does it in a "fun" order. This was in Canada and I don't know if it's acceptably done anymore.

I certainly wouldn't have handled multiple sheets of hard work at that age.
The industry cannot even standardize a charging port between Tesla and everyone else (which really is more on Tesla for using a proprietary port nobody else is using and then trying to act like they are the victims by offering royalty free access to the patents... after the fact).

It will be a very, very long time before standardized batteries are a thing, if they ever will be. As soon as true self driving cars are a legal thing nobody will even own a car anymore, it won't make any sense.
This is my issue also, although I suppose I represent a small fraction of the market -- I live in an urban apartment building with street parking, I won't be able to charge an EV at home until the infrastructure gets much, much better. This means I'd have to factor charging into all my trips, which messes up the user experience pretty badly.
What kind of tax rate do you think people are paying that they owe $7500 in federal taxes making $40,000/yr?

Indeed. It's much easier to criticize a new effort. It's not that the components of the criticism itself is necessarily wrong, but the conclusion that what the new endeavor is doing is impossible is purely based on armchair quarterback.

We should remain skeptical whenever someone says they will do great things that hasn't been done before, but immediately going to the conclusion of "it's impossible because I can't imagine how to make it work" is just plain arrogance - a true skeptic should be skeptical of his/her own judgement.

That would be avoidable until I'm back on power.

Fundamentally the issue here is energy consumption while on battery. Without a way to say: a site can use N% of battery and then hard cap the usage down to a trickle and alerting the site that the user has limited energy resources available, I think this is a non starter.

Similar to when you are on LTE you don't want to use up limited bandwidth for say 4k video and want to say: you know what, I'll deal with this later and not go over my monthly allocation, the same applies here.

Is that view that unreasonable?
I understand, but is there a cleaner quantification of this incentive?

That's a bit like debating what came first: the large beer or the voluminous glass?

Anyway, here's an interesting datapoint: there's something called "domestication syndrome", basically a set of traits that is common to diverse animals that have adapted to humans, from goldfish to cattle. One of those traits is reduced brain size. And the loss in brain size is more pronounced in social animals (dogs), compared to psychopathic loner species like cats. (No idea about goldfish. Really have to read up on goldfish sociology.)

The causality, per evolutionary theory, must obviously be "randomly larger brain" -> "better ability to cooperate" -> "increased survival". The other way around is Lamarckian Evolutions, which doesn't happen.
Your comment ties in so very well with an above exchange concerning resultant binary sizes. RAM was once $100 for a MB, I paid $400 for 4MB of RAM.

That is only a true headline if one does not read the actual commit, but rather blindly accepts the incorrect descriptions posted on two discussion fora from a couple of people.

What Chris Lamb of Debian has actually done is removed a Debian-specific mechanism, that runs a set of Debian-specific scripts (using its run-parts tool) that are not rc scripts, from both the systemd service unit and the van Smoorenburg rc file, and not eliminated any support for an init system.

This is stuff that was never in Redis proper and that has always been a Debian addition to Redis, included in the Debian packaging for Redis, and here dropped from that very same packaging and not from Redis proper. It was in fact Chris Lamb that added this Debian-specific mechanism in the first place, and it has only been there since 2015.

* https://github.com/lamby/pkg-redis/commit/0d7bc7aed4202dba0b...

The van Smoorenburg rc file being touched is not even part of Redis proper, either. The Redis proper one is markedly different, lacking LSB headers and assuming the software to be in /usr/local rather than in /usr .

There is a "frost line" in the middle of the asteroid belt where you see rocky objects closer and icy objects further. The reason is that closer the Sun has enough energy to sublimate the icy objects into a comet with a tail, where the tail is the icy material being blown off into space. Over billions of years that results in objects with ice-free rocky surfaces inside the frost line, and big, gaseous, volatile-rich outer solar system objects.

So at the time of the formation of the solar system, the whole area was a big gaseous cloud of supernova debris with lots of ice. The ignition of the sun started the frost line, and pushed volatiles out of the inner solar system. However some had already been trapped in the formation of the planets, and rose to the surface as they cooled. That's where Earth's ocean came from, and we know Mars and Venus had oceans too. Presumably also Mercury, although I'm sure that was short-lived.

So yes, it's all from cometary material. But then ALL of the Earth is from cometary material, and the oceans only make up a small amount of the Earth's total mass.
At least they are honest.

Hey, I ported apt to Android 4.4 a while back and was hoping to eventually get to design it in a way that it would be a suitable backend for a third party app store that could also safely install core components and patches to phones that allowed it.

That sounds dangerous. By comparison the Prius uses regenerative braking when you hit the brake, but if that isn't enough it will switch to normal (friction) braking.

Having something that switches from braking to no brake without warning seems like ... terrible design.
