I mean, I don't even get why people just idle their cars like that.

I've been told it's to keep the air conditioning on, but I see people idling with their windows rolled down, in the summer and winter alike. I've been told it's to play the radio, but most of the time I can't hear any radio and in any case, come on- you got a phone right?

There's no good reason that applies in most situations and that makes it even harder to understand. Because it means people just ...don't turn their engine off when they're only stopped for a while. Because. I don't know. It costs action points?

Since you probably haven’t owned a modern diesel vehicle I’ll tell you why owners don’t like the equipment on small vehicles. (Cars and light trucks)

It mostly comes down to the diesel particulate filter (DPF) that reduces visible soot. This is not really a problem outside some major cities.

Why don’t we like the DPF systems? Consider something like a VW Golf or Jetta TDI. With these systems you’re adding hundreds of pounds of extra dead weight, a regen cycle is required which wastes fuel by blowing it into the filter to regenerate. Combined, this wastes around 10-15%. The cherry on top is you cannot run blends of biodiesel higher than 15% or it ruins the DPF since it doesn’t volatilize like diesel does. Biodiesel is renewable and already comes with reduced emissions without extra controls.

I do give a bit of a shit about the environment and if given the option I would not have a DPF on a light diesel. I have a hard time seeing how decreased fuel mileage and a restriction on running renewables equals care for the environment.

Keep in mind, we removed sulfur from our on-road fuel in the US back in 2007 (way behind europe). This was a big help in allowing new catalyst controls to work as well as reduce conventional diesel pollution.

But yeah, this is not stuff most people consider or know about until they own a noxwagen after previously owning one of the pre-2007 tdi’s, read the bosch whitepapers on the controls, and have a dpf fail just outside federal emissions warranty (VW’s motto: If you can program it to cheat, you can program it to fail!)

EDIT: Forgot to mention the cost of just the DPF is usually $4-6k. It’s a huge failure component and I can’t recommend anyone purchase a lightt vehicle with one for city use as it won’t be able to properly regenerate and will fail early. Since the cost is that high the car/truck may be prematurely scrapped.
The Death of Interchange: A Conservative Critique of Radical Gurus
> in the judgement of the EPA administrator

I disagree. It's not just the judgement of the EPA Administrator. The state can still bring a lawsuit, and in that lawsuit the EPA will need to provide evidence showing that the standards aren't required.

I also disagree with the argument that they are no longer "extraordinary" conditions. LA traffic is still absolutely insane, and it would be pretty damn easy for the state to provide data suggesting that the city would become smog-ridden if they rolled back regulations.
If you request resident keys the browsers seem to switch over. Chrome Canary had it hidden behind a command-line flag last I checked (a month ago, which is an eternity considering how hard they are pushing)
Even today though, Los Angeles is still the smoggiest region in the country [1] [2]. So it's not actually an easy case to say that California doesn't have a need for these restrictions. It's merely technically possible to brush aside a real issue.

I am going against my rhetoric against Trump, but to be fair: they have standardized production lines. This is possibly a downfall of Fordism and mass manufacturing in general.
Some of my teachers knew how to touch type. We were never taught. Nowadays I work with people who type with two fingers. I'm 30 and live in the UK. The ball has been dropped on computer skills. Anyone can say they "know Microsoft Office" but they won't be tested on it and nobody ever talks about typing as a skill.
> This expansion of the commerce clause could lead to trump being able to get something like this through

That is not the strategy the Trump administration is using, according to the article. California is regulating emissions under a 2009 waiver granted by EPA. The administration is seeking to revoke that waiver.

Why Online Food Booking Is Preferable Than Pantry Food?
I don't believe the EPA granted the waiver, the Clean Air Act itself granted California a perpetual exemption. As such, the EPA can't grant other states the same right.

The history is totally understandable, to avoid a hodgepodge they were granted special powers. Not fair in principle is all, I don't believe any state should have special rights above all others.
Most calls from scammers I get come from my area code. Well it makes it easy for me, since I don't live in the area code my cell phone is from, so I know not to pickup. But in general blocking international calls might be easily circumvented.
It's fairly normal for laws to create exemptions for regions with special circumstances.

You do, after all, need to get people to agree to the thing. If some party objects, the easiest fix is often to just grant them a waiver.
With plenty of trucks fuming exhaust all over in any way they like + bunch ancient cars clogging the traffic and poisoning an air in front of your nose while being exempted - this begs the question: why shouldn't drivers of a cleaner cars get a tax break for being forced into submission to regulation but also being forced to breathe-in and smell the poisonous exhaust of exempt cars?

There are less problems with standards, more problems with double-standards.
California is much bigger than just the SF Bay Area. And I don't understand the relevance of the effect of the Chinese smog.
It is not what is on the screen but the screen itself.

From the article:

"even when our participants weren’t performing tasks associated with the touchscreen, their eyes were still drawn away from the road and towards the screen"

So even with a good UI a screen is still distracting drivers.
If you were living in California in the 60s and 70s when they had a huge home-grown smog problem, you might be more appreciative of their efforts today. California did what they had to do to get out of a crappy situation, that Trump wants to undo that “to make America stink again” is sad.

It's not framed as a waiver applying to a single state - the law doesn't mention California by name at all. It frames it as:

"...any State which has adopted standards (other than crankcase emission standards) for the control of emissions from new motor vehicles or new motor vehicle engines prior to March 30, 1966..."

Sigma does in fact sell Foveon sensor based cameras. The latest is the "SD quattro" (APS-C 1.5x crop from 35mm full frame) and "SD quattro H" (slightly larger, about 1.3x crop).

I used an earlier Foveon the "quattro dp2" (APS-C, 45mm focal length equivalent), they have different characteristics from Bayer cameras. They get high marks from landscape photographers where the shooting uses the lowest ISO setting and fast operation is not required.

They have less dynamic range, however given the amount of investment into Bayer tech vs. Sigma's spending on Foveon, that might just be due to more advanced engineering of Bayer and not something inherent in the Foveon design.

> So, I am harmed by CA's standards and have no recourse - I can't vote in CA state elections because I don't live in CA.

You aren't harmed by California's standards by any stretch of the imagination:

You can't show any actual harm by not being able to purchase specific diesel engines.

> Meanwhile, up to 29% of SF Bay Area smog is from China (I found different quoted numbers ranging from 20 to 29%)... which has nothing to do with cars being driven by Americans.

Sure, let's sign a bill telling the smog it can't go to LA anymore. That should do the trick. Do you understand the purpose of the regulations are to give Bay-area residents breathable, healthy air, and these regulations are the ones California can actually enact?

But hey, it's a conservative mantra to only think of the individual, so you fit the mold pretty well. Poor guy, can't buy a BMW 320d, and the damn Bay-area residents should get sick and breath horrible air so he can.
The whole point of a federal government is to decentralize authority. If the taxation power rests with a single authority in the United States, then federalism would be dead and the central government would have all the power. It's not necessarily wrong (though I believe it would be a bad idea), but this is one of those questions where the answer to "Why can't the world be simple?" is "Because the world is complex."
> I believe goodwill and benevolence is one of the largest untapped markets.

But the attitude that sees anything as a “market” is one that generally wants to relentlessly exploit them, which would pretty quickly destroy goodwill and benevolence.
Look, I totally agree that a lot of the legal system can be incredibly unfair. That doesn't mean that incentivizing reasonable behavior by various actors in the system is wrong.

Disagree. I would say that when the present overall law enforcement system is mockery of justice, then the grease used to speed the wheels of this machine is inherently despicable. I'm moderately familiar with the system, I know this keeps the whole process humming along. But smooth functioning can't really be evoked to defend keeping this beast on it's present track.
But our eyes are much smaller and better performing. Surely a large sensor is not a fundamental requirement with the exception of depth of field.

CA is large but circa ~10% of national truck sales. 10% is no monopoly - hell the Texas truck market is at least twice the size of CA.

What's missing is the fact that 12 other states (the west coast and most of New England) have voluntarily agreed to adopt California's standards. So yes, the rest of the country does have influence, and they're wielding that influence on California's side.

Nobody is being "forced" to comply. Instead CA's standards are reasonable enough that it's more economical to implement them nationally than to build two models.

$120 ridiculous, oh the prices we use to pay in the 80's and 70's even for basic stuff like having access to a compiler.

Pick your monthly salary, then imagine how many units of work you would need to sell to achieve the same value at what given price.

Naturally $120 means one sale equals several at $20-$40, thus easier to achieve sustainability, given the ratio of marketing and sales team efforts to effective sales.
I know the case. If he was literally only “growing wheat for himself” as a subsistence farmer, the commerce clause wouldn’t apply. The reason it applies is that he was already operating a business that does interstate commerce.

Such a business, when it makes a choice to not execute a sale that it would have had an opportunity to execute, has “mens rea” for that act’s effects on interstate commerce—because such companies keep track of such things, and their decisions are driven by such metrics.

It’s just like insider trading: not executing a trade that would have otherwise (i.e. given only public knowledge) been in your best interests to execute, where you didn’t execute it because of corporate-internal knowledge, is still just as illegal as the reverse. In either case, since it’s your job as a trader to be aware of the effects of both executing and not executing trades, either “act” can be said to be the result of an explicit, intentional choice you made.

(Of course, that’s different from just not executing a trade that you would have had no particular reason to execute. You can’t blame someone for insider trading just because they don’t short a stock, if they don’t already have a pattern of shorting stocks!)

In all such cases, the guilty party is a more abstract type of actor than an individual (e.g. a corporation; an accredited investor) and their guilt is driven by the fact that such actors behave predictably according to some preference function, such that it’s clear where such actors act against that preference function both through explicit action; and through inaction.

Or, as a formalism: when it’s 100% of your job, as an agent in a system, to decide whether to make deals, then a lack of a deal, together with evidence that you considered the deal, can be regarded as an explicit choice you’ve made to not make that deal.

Interesting. If you look at the Operating income with fines they are actually down from last year. If you look at it without fines it's 14% growth...

When you fork, your forked process get a copy of the parent's page table i.e. at this point it points to the same physical page for xyz address as the parent. There can be a metadata bit in the final PTE that says this page is COW (Copy on Write). For context, in a 32-bit system 2 Level page table with 4KB pages means only 20 bits are used in the final page table to get the page frame. There are 12 bits free for some metadata.

Your forked process already has the physical page frame number and the COW bit. If it's a write/modify on that page and the COW is set, your code should allocate a new physical page, copy the raw contents of the currently mapped physical page and then finally update the page table entry with this new physical page frame number. If you want an example with some numbers, I can reply further. Let me know :)

That's the Australian approach, where the federal government collects all income taxes (courtesy of some interesting legal maneuvering in WW2) as well as sales taxes, leaving the states only able to collect payroll taxes, land taxes, mining royalties and a few other limited types of revenue.

All sales tax revenue is 100% distributed back to the states - but it's done under a principle of "horizontal fiscal equalisation" (https://www.cgc.gov.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=art...) which means that richer states subsidise poorer states. Income tax is used to cover federal expenditure but also pays for a lot of federal grant money which is paid to the states.

In general, the Australian approach to federalism is a lot more federal-heavy than in the US, and some part of that is driven by how the feds have completely taken over most forms of taxation and thus control all the purse strings.
The question of people using your property falls under the law covering _easements_.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easement

It’s unlikely that allowing the public to short-cut across your yard would create a prescriptive easement, but there are certain circumstances where allowing a party or the public to cross a parcel of land for a sufficiently long period of time does prevent the property owner from erecting a fence.

Although it’s not a hard-and-fast rule, in Ontario certain property owners have paths open to the public most of the time, but close them for at least one day of the year, often Christmas or New Year’s Day. The intent is to prevent access for any one or more continuous years, which in turn prevents an easement from being asserted by any party.

Although it’s far from as simple as, “if you allow the public access to your land for one continuous year, you allow it forver,” a certain folklore around this has arisen, and thus the practice.

But why do we check smartphone screens all the time? We expect change (notifications, clock). Once we have learned what kind of changes are to be expected on the car’s display, and when, then the checking will subside. It will stop being interesting.

The problem with smartphones is that you never know whether a new push notification will appear or not - a message, an interesting news article, a hot deal - so the screen is always loaded with the possibility of bringing something new and interesting. That’s why I switched off email notifications. Messages are not happening so often for me that I check all the time.

A car‘s dashboard should IMO never show push notifications.
