Fair, RCR is the only guy that really hated it (I would edit the parent for less vehemence, but I can't). But nearly everybody remarks on how cheap the inside is:

> We’re not fans of the front seats—the lack of support reminded us of a vinyl lawn chair. The gear selector moves in an unusual 7-shaped pattern, which makes it tricky to put the Bolt in Reverse.[1]

> Although it’s spacious and practical, the Bolt EV’s interior quality and appearance don’t befit its $30,000-plus price point. It looks and feels more as if it belongs in an economy car. It’s clear where General Motors spent its money: on the Bolt’s big battery.[2]

> Sure, but only barely. The short-range Model 3 weighs 3,549lbs, and the Bolt weighs 3,563lbs. Your complaining about a difference of 14 pounds (less than 1%). The Bolt also delivers 18 extra driving miles of range, which explains a small portion of the weight difference.

I'm complaining about it because the model 3 is a full 10% larger. If you only compare the footprint (which correlates more closely with mass) the model 3 is 23% bigger! That's a HUGE difference! It's not the weight itself that bothers me, it's just what it implies about the design work.

> Of course he did, they sacrificed aerodynamics for comfort. Some of the big complaints with Chevy's last electric car (Volt) was that it was too low to the ground and too short -- all great things for aerodynamics, but all things that actual humans complained about. So they made the Bolt a proper hatchback -- taller and sit higher -- to make it nicer for the occupants. Chevy, shockingly, listened to their customers and made some changes they requested.

That would be one thing, but the drag coefficient is .312. That's 30% worse than other EVs and stand-out bad among regular cars when it should be much better due to the reduced engine ventilation requirements and smoother underbody. The VW golf sits at .27[4], along with the mercedes b-class. There are tons of combustion hatchbacks at .27 or lower. The Bolt's aerodynamics are closer to the Kia Soul[5][6] than a Golf. The bottom line after all the excuses is still that the Bolt is way under-engineered.

> In fact, the Bolt is arguably the best electric car you can actually purchase in the US today -- and likely will be for the next year or so until Tesla solves their production struggles.

Yeah, I can agree with that. I get too incensed seeing it compared to a model 3, I guess. I also get unnecessarily annoyed when people buy a coupe civic just to save $1000. If I needed a new car in 2018, it's the car I'd buy (very unhappily).

"Guess this place is a good as any to express my found love for the material."

I agree with you but I would point out that the buildings and their "wood" materials that the article discusses are really not anything like what you worked with.

The article speaks about wood and trees and "timbers" but these building materials are engineered panels and timbers that, while in many cases actually stronger than their "real wood" counterparts, do not have the aesthetics you remember.

I would go so far as to suggest that they are moving not from concrete to wood construction, but from concrete to glue construction.

Determining that one thing is better than another thing (by however means you determine it, I think both are good for different reasons and have money in each) does not mean the less good thing must therefore be a scam, and definitely not a pyramid scheme, which has a specific definition that bitcoin doesn't fit.

Yes, bitcoin benefits from having more people participating in it, but so does Facebook, so does Twitter, so does Youtube, so does the Internet, so does the US dollar, so does the stock market, etc etc etc. That doesn't make these all pyramid schemes.
Ethyl vs Methyl mercury is one of the most popular debates (because mercury is scary!). Most vaccines switched to Thiomersal which has ethylmercury in it. However, even ethylmercury crosses the blood-brain barrier. Other 2 big ingredients are formaldehyde and aluminum. From there you have to get more specific about which vaccine you are talking about.

The thing is that the convnets are unable to learn about "macro structures" (or structures in general). A cat has ~4 legs, a tail and pointy ears. Gorillas are black, have a primate-y face and fur. The sofa is lacking the tail, head and pointy ears. People were missing the fur. Yet those things did not prevent the net from missclassffication (because those features weren't detected in the learning phase).

Once again, children are able to see a cat and extract all that relevant information: four legs, head, tail, eyes & nose & ears with a particular shape, different than dogs, most cats fur (except for those alien-looking furless cats, of course).
Equating this email to a parent beating their child is a false equivalency. Firstly, because Linus has not physically attacked the developer, and secondly, because the developer--unlike the child--should know better. This is more like Gordon Ramsay going off on a chef who has just told a customer off for not liking his burnt toast.
That made me laugh hard. I keep seeing more and more non-techies talk about investing in bitcoin and other cryptos.

This (high Netflix salaries) has the effect of raising salaries in other companies (which do provide RSUs/options on top of that)! I know people who left $BigCo for NetFlix; stuck around for a few months, and then went right back to $BigCo, but this time with a salary matching their Netflix salary.
For the next few months you would be better off dividing the assets based on your risk profile. Based on current market trends the s&p may go down in the short term so bitcoin may allow you to spread that risk
Both. And under the hood, Forth implements a virtual stack machine on top of a non-stack machine, which is inefficient.

I guess I'm just trying to counter all the mythos and happy talk surrounding Forth and stack processing in general. In the end Forth is a highly (too?) simplistic language, a product of its time, and nothing all that special or powerful. It does a lot of stuff poorly and the code tends to write-only. The syntax is so loose that the entire dictionary has to be searched to know you're dealing with a number. It's no mystery that we aren't all coding on it now.
Sure, if you look at old people and young people separately, it appears that old people only take money out of pension funds and young people only pay into them. But the whole point is that young people eventually become old people. Old people receiving payouts isn't rent seeking, it's time-delayed compensation for their previous contributions.

The changing demographics are certainly a problem, but assuming the population trends continue, today's young people aren't particularly worse off. Their pension contributions may be used for more than one old person, but once they become old themselves, the next younger generation will be in exactly the same situation.

No, it's when a change results in unintentional behavior that breaks previously supported scenarios. You might want to double-check your definition. I think you're actually referring to a recurring issue.
There are a half dozen ways to silence a squeaky floor. Nobody does them because it's an expense and hassle and they don't mind the noise.

The more difficult problem, reverberation and sound travel, is really a simple acoustics problem. If you have something that makes noise and there is nothing but a big gaping box with flat sides for it to reverberate in, then you're going to hear stuff.

Often the simplest solution is to install carpeting. But if a tenant prefers wood floor, you can install sound-deadening insulation between the subfloor and finished floor, or subfloor and lower ceiling.

> Something about smoking or smokers just drives people a bit crazy.

I think that there must be some sort of human need to have a group to hate, and that in the West today that unlucky group is smokers. One may say the worst things about them in any social or business setting — that they are stupid, filthy, foolish, whatever — without any risk of being contradicted, indeed with the expectation that everyone will agree with you.

When I started at my job, the head of HR noted where the (outdoor, uncovered, across a street) smoking area was, 'but I don't think you're that sort of person.' He'd never have felt free to say that about other behavioural choices.

I suspect that part of it is that smokers were so dominant for so long that those who suffered in the past are enjoying having the upper hand.

>Is there any project which strives to preserve our current knowledge about humanity in some sort of long-term storage so that also people in 500 or 2000 years will be able to reconstruct even without having access to 'real' artifacts? Is this actually a problem which current archaeologist think about?

That's an interesting project on it's own (and there are various types of "capsules" -- from knowledge to seeds) but it's not particularly relevant to archeology.

Archeological info to be retained is just an small subset of knowledge to be retained in general (e.g. scientific, technological, state records, cultural (music, literature, movies), software, historical, etc).
Desktops are easier to deal with, but I installed Pi-hole with the hope of solving the issue on my Android phone. I've had it running for some months now and while it works it's certainly not a perfect solution. Even with it running, YouTube ads still run rampant. For me, video ads and especially YouTube ads are the most intrusive and annoying.
Without ever having seen one? Or with having seen pictures of one?

It's true though that we can generalise from descriptions and recognise the real thing from those. If you describe an elephant as a big grey animal with big ears and a trunk they can use to grab stuff, then an adult (not a 2 year old I suspect) seeing one for the first time, will recognise it from that description.

When we see a cartoonish drawing of one, we can still distill the defining characteristics from it and use it to create a description or recognise the real thing. We can recognise a very crude childish drawing of one by looking for these characteristics. We have a lot of additional knowledge that influences our image recognition, and having a big toolbox of general recognition of tons of different objects, we don't really need to train to recognise new objects anymore, because we will distill its identifying characteristics the first time we see it.

Computers clearly don't look like that.
I remember reading about this a while back (probably on HN). They're storing a bunch of data along with the OSs and devices to read it in a bunker in Switzerland, so if we do leave a bunch of digital data, future generations can actually access it.

Rentech's Robert Mercer to Resign as Co-CEO
>Bitcoin's value is given by the trust people put in it. Just like with the fiat currencies as a matter of fact

Except fiat currencies also have that fiat behind them that gives them value. If you want to do business with the US government, you do it in USD. If you are one of the millions employed by the US government, you are paid in USD. If you manipulate USD, you have to answer to the US government. Those things add tremendous value and they are something that Bitcoin does not have.

With Bitcoin you only have trust in value of Bitcoin. Fiat currency is given added value by having trust in the power, reach, and stability of the nation that issued it.

Not all workouts build up a sweat. Specifically weight exercises. At the same time, I did say "get the heart rate up" which implied cardio which was perhaps a poor chose of words.
How about stopping to try to throw wrenches into what he's doing? It's not a hard concept, don't break user space under no circumstances ever, if you do it's a bug. If you cannot understand and know this by heart, don't even fire up your editor, you are not wanted in Linux kernel development. Fork it and PROVE he is not doing it the correct way by spending weeks and months and years of arguing with people who simply will not stop arguing, because you can't tell them to fuck off.

This is the Sphinx asking you an easy question, and if you don't simply give the correct answer she helpfully provided in advance, you get burned to ash. You don't get to stand there arguing, and you certainly don't pass through. Instead complaining about it while someone is still doing it, learn to become so principled where it matters for the time when he can't do it anymore. That's infinitely more important than not swearing if you're older than 6. Have you looked around the world you're living in? Plenty of nuts people with plenty of vested interests. Plenty of weak people feeding them. If "not hurting feelings" is a priority to you, you are a hostage to those who will fake feelings until the cows come home. In turn you do not get to hold those hostage who see through it.

How much of what people use, how much profit does Linux enable? But oh no, the bad man is swearing. Unbelievable. Uninstall everything that has traces of it in it, but spare me your advice on what I need to "stop excusing". There is no aggregate by the way, "we" doesn't have to agree with anything because it doesn't exist. I have my stance, you don't even propose yours.
SWIM: The scalable membership protocol
The emotion definitely shows how angry he is, but it is possible to express yourself without getting angry; to be clear, concise, and impossible to misconstrue.

Ass-chewing isn't generally beneficial as it makes people defensive and potentially angry themselves. The mea culpa is good: "And again sorry, I screwed up, it should not have happened, my perspective was incorrect and I know I need to make it right." This is a great response, defuses the conversation and makes it clear that it's going to be fixed.

As someone who's gotten chewed out before, all it does is leave a bad taste in your mouth and most likely going to quit the company or possibly the project. Honestly, the threat of rejecting future commits and/or rejecting his opinions was by far the best thing in Linus' response, b/c those cut straight to your potential to contribute to the project.
Honestly, I've been way to risk averse in life. It's part of the reason I stayed in academia.
You can have lots of theories about what would or wouldn't make Linux work, but the facts on the ground are that Linux is wildly successful, and Linus behaves as he does. The latter has been an integral part of the former.
> If someone prefers softer conduct

The big issue I see people reacting to is profanity. You can be as hard on someone, given the nature of the infraction, without using profane language or denigrating someone.

If they don't comply, threaten exactly what Linus threatened, no more commits will be accepted.

While I don't disagree with Linus' right to speak as he does. He can be just as effective without the type of language he uses.

Some people don't care about "foul language" some others clearly do...

Or it's an acknowledgment of the reality that humans aren't computers just absorbing information during a presentation. They get bored, they get restless, they get distracted, etc. I'm not saying effects aren't used in the way you say, but I think they can have a place to keep a presentation from becoming dull and monotonous.
