Fuck off nigger
Yep. In addition, a modern plug-in hybrid gets over 50mpg on gas alone and ~110mpge on electricity. (something like a Chevy Volt or Hyundai Ioniq or Toyota Prius or similar)

You don't even have to go full electric -- If the average driver just switched to driving a plug-in hybrid and charged roughly nightly on a regular 120v US household outlet, you could erase ~75% of all emissions from personal vehicles nationwide, without changing anyone's commutes or driving patterns in any way. (Even if we still use dirty sources for the electricity during the switchover to renewable electricity)

Or you could buy a 2018 F-150 pickup truck with the fuel economy of a 20 year old sedan -- a fuel economy so low it's actually slightly below fleet average for all existing US cars driven today...

I understand that, it's just that I've heard plenty of “the {city,state} should make my commute better” rants and no calls to, say, charter a toll company that I can remember. Come to think about it, I've also heard more complaints that existing tolls are too high than calls to create more toll roads.

At some point it's natural to wonder whether this is something they find ideologically necessary but don't actually want.
It is, just (for a variety of reasons) not super profitable in the US.

But there’s also scale, etc involved - Fonterra is cumulatively a huge dairy producer so has significant pricing power.

Also as far as I can make out (moved from nz to the us many many years ago) farming in the US seems to be much less efficient - the mere existence of subsidies speaks to that.

(Minor edit: I did a quick google to make sure I was still right about the above statements, and per Wikipedia - so 100% accurate - NZ is the only developed nation with no subsidies or price rules on agriculture, and Fonterra alone is responsible for 30% of global dairy exports)
What don't you like about Kaggle?
After reading that, I realized I've never known a historical number as it pertains to how many lynchings occured in the US.

The NAACP pegs the number at 4,743 total lynchings between 1882-1968. 3,446 were black, with 1,297 being white. 79% occurred in southern states.

I've ridden a few of these. They're pretty fun and cheap. I actually like the model for trips in the 1mi range. In an ideal world full of well behaved people and good intentions I'd keep them around.

But am I the only one that has a problem with the complete hubris shown by these companies. Raise $100M, buy thousands of $500 Chinese scooters, drop them on the city sidewalks and hope everyone just deals with it.

Why can you disrupt life in a city just because you have a lot of VC money? What about when all the competitors come and we're drowning in low quality scooters?

And let's not kid ourselves that these scooters will even remain loved. Right now they're unsustainability cheap and vulnerable. Bird and Spin are undoubtedly bleeding money. When they come back and triple the prices and change the model we'll see we've sold our sidewalks for nothing.
Wow, they're literally creating demand for a product that serves no purpose by "glutenizing" some harmless milk protein and selling "gluten-free" milk. Shameful.

And the irony is that milk has a component, lactose, that is legitimately indigestible for large numbers of people. It was gluten before gluten was gluten, except not BS! But products already exist for that, so they're glutenizing milk because, let's face it, a sucker is born every second and it ain't cheap sending kids to college these days.

Godspeed A2 milk, may the impoverishment of your customers reduce their propensity to procreate!

Preemptive edit: the stealth marketing is so so thick in this thread! Yuck!

That’s totally besides the point. Let’s not ignore facts or downplay how destructive the Republican Party has been to environmental policy. Anti-environmentalism has been a major feature of the Republican Party’s agenda for decades now, and to this day they’re actively involved in rolling back environmental protections and literally denying climate change.

Environmentalism has been a major distinction between Democrats and Republicans for a loooong time, and here on HN Republican voters are still trying to whitewash it and are probably the ones downvoting me.

This is not an accurate description of what happened. The information was in the release notes, which are several notches above EULAs for providing informed consent. Secondly, Debian doesn't install sotware, the user does. Debian helpfully provides the list of the packages and the versions before installing. There were no surprises here.

Inflationary vs deflationary only really matters when you are talking about world wide level scales for things.

But even so, there are lots of modern assets in the world that are deflationary. Stocks is a great example of a "deflationary" good. Or commodities.

Sort of an empty comparison to the automobile. Similar in the fact that it's being thrown out into the world without a plan, and there's no space for them, and there's an outcry. Different because they're a lot less deadly.

The proliferation of private automobiles is a net negative for the world, so if these scooters displace (i.e. take away space from) cars, they're good. If they displace, hassle or inconvenience pedestrians or cyclists in any way, they're bad.

I don't hold out a lot of hope for them to change the world per se. I mean sheeeit, people trying to ride bikes at 15mph (which were the original reason for paving roads, no less) have been fighting for a space that's not filled with 40mph cars or 3mph walkers for years and getting mostly nowhere. To properly integrate scooters you would need basically a two-lane bike lane - one lane for bikes (10-25mph) and one for scooters (less than that, I assume). In a lot of places the automotive demographic has such a stranglehold on the polity, we can't even get a one-lane bike lane.

The only way it would work is if they end up being ragingly popular... like maybe if something like 1/3 to 1/2 of all trips started being done by scooter, that would get the attention of the scooter-lane-planners. Though there is still the problem of "where does the capital come from?" when every municipality is seemingly always broke ever since 2008...

I’ve enjoyed driving a rented a CMAX hybrid on a few occasions, great mileage and convinced me to switch to electric. Only downside is nav/entertainment system froze and rebooted while driving. I understand they’ve switched to QNX from Windows Embedded in newer iterations.
The way you re-used essence in quotes makes me think maybe you interpreted my post as meaning a metaphysical soul or something along those lines. That was not at all what I was going for.

Simply taking a brain out of a body and then "keeping it on life support" would be horrendous. Think of it, your brain is very much alive with zero stimulation for a theoretical eternity. That would likely drive people insane.

My point was if the technology became sufficiently advanced that we could say wire the brain into an artificial body where we could still see, communicate, maybe even feel pain and pleasure.

Think of the numerous people with severe physical handicaps who might actually find something like this to be an improvement over their current living situation.

How do you send cash to your drug dealer on the internet, instantly?

I agree with you that you still have to get the product to the person, and blockchain doesn't solve this. But it doesn't claim to.

What cryptocurrencies do is solve the payment part of it, so that you can send money to someone without your bank finding out and freezing your account.

If I send money to coinbase, buy Bitcoin, and then convert that to Monero, the only thing my bank knows is that I sent money to coinbase. And coinbase only knows that I sent money to a different exchange.

> It gets people to get more oil changes and thus avoids the insurer having to pay for more expensive matters.

Doing that could also drive up the price of oil changes such that they're no longer affordable without the use of insurance. If you could get an oil change for $50, then most people could afford it by paying for it outright. If that oil change now costs $500, then most people would have to go through insurance, and get the "discounted" price of $100 (which either has to be paid if the deductible has not been met, or you end up paying 10 to 30% of it).
This helped me.

The other thing that helped me was redefine your rock bottom as your norm. As status quo. As the default. As the x axis of happiness chart. As not sadness or happiness but neutral.

And every ounce of happiness on top of that is a blessing.

No it isn't.

A single piece of non-public information that would move the market. Trading on that information is insider trading. Think "we have undisclosed losses equal to 5 times annual earnings" that your brother told you at a bbq. That is insider trading.

Inferring the existence of some information based on many other pieces of information isn't just legal, it is encouraged. "These guys must have some big undisclosed losses, remember how Mary used to talk about engineering projects and how she talks at BBQs now? Bob was saying his HR dept. is insanely busy. Ahmed resigned and took a job that looks like a step down for him. Ok I'm a sell on this." That is equity research and to be encouraged.
how about taking it one step further and aggregate the database of all hospital prices so we can filter and compare. better yet, single payer system overall

I don't think it's the same situation. Arabic alphabet is a particularly bad alphabet to write Turkic languages in (although it's ok, as wel all know since people used it for almost a millenia) but Cyrilic alphabet is already pretty close to Latin. Also, literacy in Turkey skyrocketed in 1930s not only because of alphabet change. It might have been a minor factor, but there were other factors and the government highly emphasized Western education, to the point it was totalitarian in most regions.

Any specific recommendations if I'm going to make the schlep on the G?
First things first — IANAL.

What I can tell you is that a lot depends on where you are located and who your regulators are.

For example, in Belgium, the police have pretty broad powers to come in and just seize stuff, and you are criminally liable for anything that gets onto your servers, regardless of how that happened. Now, the police generally are smart enough to ask for your assistance in catching the real criminals who uploaded the illegal content and they would rather work with you than against you. But make no mistake, they will turn around and haul your ass down to jail in a heartbeat, if they think you are complicit.

I believe our industry’s several decades of demonstrated inability to write concurrent code correctly disagrees with you.

Languages like go (and Rust, to a greater degree) have improved the situation. But there are still a ton of sharp edges that existing approaches still have, and—often—they’re ones that aren’t readily apparent until after a project starts growing and begins unearthing issues that are rare, only happen on faster hardware, or require higher levels of concurrency than we’re previously used.

Feels like a step in the right direction. But we've already got geographic monopolies in many cases - you can't just decide to go ten more miles in an emergency because you know the prices are 15% lower.

However, if a new hospital opens close-ish to an existing one, offers a temporary discount, then the two just keep an eye on each other's websites to maintain the status quo in pricing will offering "competition," now we have a duopoly.

Capitalism will find a way to keep screwing consumers.

I drive a Focus ST and I think it's the perfect bay area car. It's large enough (bigger than Fiesta) to fit me and 4 friends in relative comfort, or fold the back seats flat and fill it with skis and other gear for a weekend trip to Tahoe.

The clutch has a hill-assist so it's a breeze to drive even in hilly SF, and on a sunny weekend 250hp is more than enough to have a blast taking the 1 down the coast to Half Moon Bay.

I'm so glad I got my '17 when I did, with this news.

Ford has never established s strong brand identity with trucks?! In what universe? The Ford F series truck is the best selling vehicle in America (yes, including cars) and has been for many years. A picture of one is at the top of the Wikipedia page for “pickup truck”. Chevy and Ram have been chasing Ford for decades. They’re the Coca-Cola of trucks.

Tightening the spread reduces everyone's transaction costs. Successful algo trading takes money away from existing market making traders and splits that money with those who need to trade for reasons of capital allocation, financing and hedging. It's straight up price comeptitive under cutting in the most darwinian way possible. Less money sticks to the financial system, more money in the hands of business to expand and build stuff. More money in your retirement savings.

I think that's doing something.
It doesn't work that way. I learned it the hard way.

I run a successful s/w company that was recently under targeted attacks by one of these hashtag campaigns. The gist was we wrote something about why we refused to hire women simply to improve the % of females in tech and why we want to hire the best people for the job irrespective of their gender. The goal of the post was to help people correctly contribute to gender ratio problems instead of blanket hiring, which is sexism by itself.

However, this backfired and a lot of feminist groups targeted us with hashtags and some even accusing us of things we never said/done (the blog post has been removed since). They created memes, fake citations of stuff me and my company staff didn't say and they revolted heavily.

At first I was really shocked as this was my first time experiencing something like this and I almost thought my company and brand name was doomed. However, I decided to take control and published a follow up post of things we said, we did, we didn't do and we decided to stand by our words. The hashtags multiplied, some even threatened us legal action. Many created fake accounts on our blogs and commented bad stuff about us everywhere. Some of them even sent emails directly to our customers!

But, I didn't give in. A week went by and things started looking better. The hashtags dropped, but the good thing was, from those hashtags, we got a LOT of new page-views and signups. We lost two customers who didn't want to be associated with our controversy, but we got 8 new ones after this campaign.

The biggest take away -

1) If you believe in something, don't give in to threats and disrespectful demands. It's almost like supporting extortion.

2) Any free marketing is good marketing.

I suppose this was no different for Facebook.
USB-C has been better than MagSafe for me for 3 reasons: 1) Can charge off either side, which has solved most of the cases MagSafe helped me with 2) I can replace just the cable with a cheap third-party one instead of replacing the whole expensive Apple charger when their crap cable falls apart 3) Can extend my battery life off a regular USB power bank
"First on race day" [1] ain't about trucks. I'm not saying that the Ford brand isn't recognized for trucks. I am saying it's diluted. Ford is still going to make cars and so the brand identity will continue to be diluted. Even GM has GMC as a truck brand (and at one time Hummer). Fiat Chrysler has Jeep in addition to Ram.

[1] "Found on roadside dead" is more neutral.

I've got an FoST and I don't think it compares with the Civic Si or i30n/veloster turbo at all. It's a full 5-door, and the civic Si is only available in 2 or 4 door sedans, and with barely 205hp to the ST's 250. Basically the same with the Hyundai. Since the WRX Hatch got the axe the Focus ST is really the only hot hatch on the market. Everything else is an underpowered sedan or a coupe (until you hit RS/Golf-R/STI territory, but that's out of my price range).
Isn't that just shoddy journalism on the part of media that reported and quoted them? We shouldn't shift the blame from the media companies that reported fake information as fact. We are never going to get rid of fake information. We can only push for journalistic standards to ensure we aren't bringing credibility and legitimacy to a company pumping out this crap.
