CA should give the rental property owners an economic incentive to preemptively install the infrastructure. It's a very real barrier to adoption when you can't assume your next apartment will be able to charge your car immediately upon move-in.

My favorite example from the new Solo film: Solo is told something like "find me later on Tatooine".

Imagine somebody saying "If we get out this, see me later - I'll be on earth." Or, even "I'll in New York." Does Tatooine have more than one city? More than one bar? Is there a phone directory for finding people there?

The problem with docks is not technical, but that people don't want to be forced to leave them at a particular place.

Also, you would need to pay some sort of rent on those docks, connect them to electricity and all that. You could use that money instead to just buy more scooters.

If a few mega corporations like google, fb, and twitter are The Problem, why are we making a law that generally applies to everyone and will disproportionately impact smaller organizations instead of dealing with these mega corporations per se?

If we aren't as a world terrified of what is being done by small groups like the open source organization announcing it is shutting down in the very post under discussion, why are you defending the GDPR on the idea that it somehow reins in the abuses of FB, Google, etc? Do you have evidence that it is, in fact, reining them in? Or are they just getting with their lawyers, finding cute ways around the problem and carrying on while entire organizations smaller than them suddenly shut down and die because the EU wrote words somewhere that these mega corps likely care relatively little about?
We don’t even need to think long term—EVs (even charged with fossil power) are already cleaner than gas cars in most cases:

And—to your point—they get cleaner every year.
>Basically EVs in California are methane powered ICEs by proxy.

The difference is, the ICE I buy today pollutes more every year (due to wear) until it leaves service. There is no way to upgrade it or decrease its impact.

The EV I buy today might not be a lot better, but as new plants and solar come online, it pollutes less as time goes on. This will almost certainly be the case in practice.

EV is the right choice for most vehicles.

How to Actually Start the Task You’ve Been Avoiding
Consider my mind blown! :)
I never had such a problem and I use a lot of PDFs so it seems the problem is not as widespread as you think.
To me, operating systems are a total commodity. Not because they don't matter, but because they're all really good now. But what matters a lot to me is really good hardware (trackpad, display, and build quality), and most importantly the integration between the hardware and the OS. This is why Apple wins, Linux loses, and Windows is in between (but much closer to Apple on the high end). That's the exact scale of how much investment each OS puts into integration with the laptop hardware it runs on. Notably, this is why I don't care at all what OS runs on my workstation: really good integration with a trackpad and display is unnecessary.
As others have said, Windows is the issue with windows computers.

OSX has plenty of flaws, but it (generally) stays out of your way, is a less hostile development environment, and is compatible with all the things you need. I feel like the Linux folks are attacking this problem by trying to create distros that are easier and easier to use, which is great, but it doesn't solve the compatibility piece, which is this weird chicken and egg thing (consumers still don't want to figure out how to use Wine). Luckily, gaming seems to be making progress here?
We need something along these lines if we're being realistic about all the privately owned vehicles becoming electric.

It's a major investment in infrastructure, this is the reality of EVs.

I don't know how street parking gets handled at all, it almost requires wireless charging through the asphalt activated by simply parking over it.

edit:

At least until car batteries can be recharged as quickly as a gas tank is filled, then this is largely a non-issue. We're not there yet are we?

Electricity prices are fucky all over the place and the general theme is there's more profit to be made in export rather than domestic consumption, which can result in ridiculous economies where energy is being exported at top dollar and imported at bottom dollar.

The math is supposed to work out but, like you said, basically the overabundance of "green" energy doesn't do anything for domestic energy markets. It is implicitly earmarked for export consumption rather than domestic consumption. Energy managers get to reap the benefits twice, with both domestic and export prices remaining high rather than domestic prices continuously falling as supply comes online.

The same song gets played out all over, throw carbon credits into the mix and things can get pretty silly pretty quickly.

You misunderstand. They're saying that referring to the entire US (or Russia) when you really only mean Puerto Rico (or Chechnya) is somewhat disingenuous, and clouds what is actually being said.
I said "morally different".

edit:

> By definition, if you pay everything you owe, aren't you paying your share?

The line between tax avoidance and freeloading is debatable. Maybe you use less tax-funded things than most people. Maybe you refuse to drive on streets, cross rivers in a rowboat instead of walking on bridges, and resolutely close your eyes when walking by a beautiful piece of taxpayer-funded art. But morally, if you're enjoying nice things that other people paid for, you're freeloading (which is emphatically not a political stance, or an "unpopular opinion").
Here in CA, you have three components to your bill: generation, transmission, and distribution. Adjusted for inflation, generation costs are going down (where true competition exists), while the transmission and distribution costs are going up.

> Today's MS is no different than yesterday's MS

I'm not sure that's true, but it is true that MS would have motivation to leverage Github to promote other (licensed) MS software.

At a conference years ago, a Microsoft rep told me over beers that almost everything his division did had the ultimate objective of selling more SQL Server licenses. That's why SQL Server is a required component of almost all MS enterprise software.

So you might for instance see a SQL Server backend option, and then "Github Enterprise" sold with that configuration.
I'm not convinced of your conclusion as even though you started by presenting data you leap to a conclusion without a process inbetween. The assumptions in your final statements are:

- More than 50% of the energy source in EVs being renewable is irrelevant towards being environmentally friendly when being compared to 0% in conventional
- Renewable energy as a fraction of overall energy in California is not projected to rise in the next 5 years
- An EV using electrically from a powerplant has the same overall fuel efficiency as a conventional vehicle using fuel locally.

The first two are most assuredly false assumptions at a glance, the final one I'm not aware of. I'm not saying your conclusion is right or wrong just that I don't buy we need 100% renewable electricity for EVs to make environmental sense.
"there is no perfect system" != "no system is any better or worse than any other system"
No, but it is more than enough to scare people. Doing a project that makes you zero or very small amounts of money does not justify any risk-taking, and certainly nobody wants to go into the trouble of sending emails to various DPA people in Europe if the need arises. This kind of treatment should be reserved for large companies or specific uses of private data. In addition, the approach of the law "guilty until proven innocent" is hugely off-putting.
yep. i saw one of these on the subway this morning.

i really do not appreciate corporate apology tours breaching my adblockers and reaching my everyday life. it's creepy. it's annoying as hell.

and it just convinces me that the only company that would go this far to profess their own innocence is guilty as hell.

the fact that the entire campaign focuses on "fake news" is a bit tone deaf.

people aren't even upset with facebook over the fake news so much as their business model of stealing user data then selling it.

best case scenario is they're toast in 10 years due to demographic decline.

Much as I hate them, this sounds like material for a civil-criminal hybrid case.

Looks like you were defrauded out of your source code and proceeds therefrom. If so, work on putting together a fraud/theft complaint and contact law enforcement. They have threshold amounts, so if it's over, say, $100k in losses, you'll interest them far more than if it's only $100 in losses. Don't lie, but don't understate, or assume you can't add up all the categories of loss into a larger number.

A successful criminal prosecution may entitle you to recovery of restitution from the thief, with the litigation paid for nearly entirely by the government. As a bonus, you (through the government) get to threaten the other party with prison time, and they can neither discharge what they owe you in bankruptcy nor hide their money from a judgment near as easily.

With this option on the table, seems rather foolish to even consider a civil lawsuit. Lawyers cost money, but criminal complaints are free.

Now if only our system kept situations like these from happening where the victim lies to the government.
It is a valid thing to be aware of.

Unfortunately / fortunately in my area ... there was no bear (at least no evidence) and it was HIGHLY unlikely to have occurred (bears haven't been around these parts for decades).

GitLab must be psyched for the potential influx of defectors.
TFVC is being outphased. Microsoft doesn't want to openly say it but everything in MS' docs is pushing Git. When you have an on-prem TFS installation, the default version control for new projects is Git. Visual Studio Team Services doesn't allow to import anything into TFVC, only into Git. Visual Studio lists Git first, when you want to add version control. Visual Studio Code makes working with Git a lot easier than working with TFVC.

TFS as the development process management solution will live on as an on-prem service, but TFVC is unofficially feature-complete and in the maintenance phase.
do you really think that drivers would make a full stop, as much as they do now, if suddenly they wouldn't have access to freeways and other high speed roads with no/synchronized/very few intersections and instead would be forced to take residential roads full of stops?

Yes. There are drivers who never drive on freeways, and in my experience, they always come to a complete stop. My ex was one such driver for awhile.

change their commute route to only include very low traffic (ie "safe") roads, and take that route every day, every week for a few months (it was a slow "grinding" process). Let's see then if they still continue to make a full stop as before for every one of those 20 new full STOP intersections...

Even in this situation, my experience is that conscientious automobile drivers still approximate the effect of a full stop. There are some idiot automobile drivers who don't approximate the effect of a full stop, just as there are idiot bike riders. The cost-benefit conditions are simply different, and bicycle "momentum hacking" tends to take people far away from what a careful car driver would be doing.

The fact that you'd entertain such a thought about residential drivers makes me question your conscientiousness.
This has me wondering, what Microsoft wants GitHub for? It's not like they can't use it without owning it, and I doubt they want to improve it as it is. Probably they want control before integrating it with their products.
That's my strategy also, can't recommend it enough.

I agree, it’s not fair to say it sucks. However, there is something to be said for having a Unix-based OS without having to sacrifice first-party apps. While Ubuntu and some other flavors have certainly gotten increased support from big players over the years (like Steam), for lots of people there’s still no substitute for the immediately available first party apps on Windows and macOS.
This is a mitigation required because of the terrible housing situation in California. If normal people could afford to buy a home, they could install chargers themselves and this massive public construction effort would be unnecessary.

I would say well over 25% of cars do rolling stops

Rolling stops in cars still tend to approximate the effect of a complete stop. Rolling stops on bikes tend to approximate the effect of the stop sign not being there at all. It's two different cost/benefit situations producing two different outcomes.

It's this sort of thing that when I first saw it on Apollo's Aegis and again later on Plan 9 it was so obviously useful I figured it would just be everywhere in no time. At then Sun touted "The Network Is The Computer (TM)" and I was like here it comes! But it hasn't quite panned out that way. Considering the number of viruses and ransomware perhaps that's a good thing but it would be cool as hell if I had shared name spaces with my wife, mother, sister, etc rather than the artificial constraint of mapping into Facebook or Google Photos (for example) to share a photo album.
I say it. If it doesn't have a vertical screen it might be a great device but its just not a laptop anymore, as far as I'm concerned.

Before anyone trots out dictionary definitions, I just mean the world identifies a laptop as a device with a horizontal keyboard and a vertical screen. Even ones that rotate the screen aren't called laptops anymore, they're called tablets or convertibles
> Seems like the view here is pretty negative.

Well it's not like the reason for being negative is unfounded. MS has a long history of running services into the ground, and their recent 'we love open source' charade brings back strong memories of E3 for many folks.
