Keep in mind, the EU pushed heavily for Diesel in 1998 to meet the requirements of Kyoto. It is very ironic that now their most powerful member, Germany, is going against them.

It was supposed to be cleaner...but it generates nitrogen oxide (instead of CO2). Maybe nitrogen oxide is safer than, but I doubt at 40x the levels that most of the diesel manufacturers actually made their cars run at.
That's a bit of a misconception. In the US, there are plenty of laws that state a company must do business with you in various circumstances. See all the public accommodation laws. Beyond that, actually read the SC ruling on the whole cake thing and see its implications are not quite what the hype said.
>I'm sorry but that is ridiculous. The Model 3 has some quality control issues on the frame and GM does that a bit better. However if you go into the electronic, the software, the drive-train, the charging network, the suspension and so on its not even comparable in terms of quality.

The software in the Model 3 is famously buggy. Did you see the Edmonds review?

Some highlights:

> Nav screen going haywire: zooming, scrolling, pinching, pixelating all at once.

> Audio system turning on by itself at full volume.

> Audio system came on and went to full volume all by itself while the car was off, locked and unoccupied. I heard it from 100 yards away. "Who is that joker playing his stereo so loud I can hear it from here?" Oh, it's Elon. I turned it down, but it kept wavering up and down as I started driving, working against my repeated attempts to dial it down. Then it blasted all the way to maximum. My ears are still ringing two hours later. Fixed after reboot. Not sure about hearing damage.

> Audio page leaping up and down rapidly like the up-caret button to expand the source menu was being played with by a kid who ate too much candy. Concurrent with the volume problem above. Same reboot.

> The passenger vanity mirror fell off completely. Installed and held on only by double-sided tape. Reinstalled by pressing really hard on the mirror.

> The screen went completely dark on startup, no music or operation. Restarted the car. The screen worked; the backup camera did not.

> The car will not shift into Drive or Reverse upon startup. "Vehicle Systems Are Powering Up. Shift Into D or R After Message Clears." Have to wait for it to power up. A loud click comes from the rear of the car as if a drive shaft is engaging and the message on the screen goes away.

> The car displays a new message: "Cannot Maintain Vehicle Power. Car May Stop Driving or Shut Down." No shutdowns yet, but keeping an eye out.
Not only that, but I sync my contacts from my iPhone to macOS through Google (so they work in email also). Anyone who says the contacts do not sync, I have to wonder if they really tried the iPhone.
Easy and I believe already being done in Syria. I'll have to find video links but it's not new at this point.
That's a loss that doesn't scale with range though.

So you have to change all your BIOS settings for PCIE ports to enable hotplug, then you just plug in the EXP-GDC Beast into the ExpressCard slot. Works on both MacOS 10.12 and Windows 10.

It's a Lenovo X220 ThinkPad with the BIOS modification described here: http://x220.mcdonnelltech.com/
The BIOS mod allows me to run 16GB RAM at 1866 MHz.
Also has a 500GB SSD running where the 3G card used to be, and swapped out the stock hard drive for another 500GB SSD.
That's an interesting idea. The current residential home appliance setup is totally not amenable to it - I don't even know where my refrigerator & hot water heating on-switches are, I rarely touch the A/C & heating, and I'm certainly not going to remember the rates at a give time of day as a consumer (I likely wouldn't even be home or awake when they're lowest). But if rates actually varied throughout the day, I could imagine smart-thermostats and smart-switches being a very lucrative new market. Manufacture a piece of silicon & copper and it saves you a hundred dollars a month in electricity; I like the idea.

There's a financial crisis of one type or another every 7 years. Each time, more and more regulation is put in place to make sure it doesn't happen again. It's only a matter of time before congress hangs too many ornaments on that particular christmas tree and it falls over.

I remember when Sarbanes Oxley was passed in 2002. I was in college and one of my professors was advocating becoming a SAP engineer specializing in SOX compliance. The cost of compliance was estimated to be gigantic, which meant lots of highly paid (but boring) work for enterprise programmers.

With minor engineering changes, you can timeshift quite a bit.

Consider hot water heaters. When power goes out, mine will keep water hot enough for a shower for 2 days. Two days. That means the design can be changed to heat water up to, say, 200 degrees, and then mix it with cold water to bring it down to 100 or so when demanded, and one should never need to run the heater more than a couple hours a day when power is cheap.

Storing hot and cold water can also timeshift heating/cooling your house with a simple and inexpensive system (little more than a controller and a water tank). Much, much cheaper than battery storage.
Out of the box the Boost runs you through the base models with some build-specific commands. We've been through most of those builds. They also have some bases for building your own creations, and they have completely free-form programming. (Scroll to the right and tap on the swirly looking thing in a window - it's not particularly discoverable, but kids are surprisingly good at exploring all the corners of UIs.) They've also added some builds that combine other modern lego sets with boost.

I wasn't aware of WeDo, or I would have taken a look at it. I was looking for something to motorize legos and to expose my five year old to programming (if he was interested) and mindstorms seemed too complex/expensive.

It looks like boost may have more motors than WeDo (and the motors can be used as rotation sensors), 800 lego parts, some pre-designed builds (he's enjoyed the robot, cat, and truck thing). However, the "control hub" is a bit bigger on Boost (it contains two of the motors), which effects the size of things you build with it. I probably would have still chosen Boost if I'd known about WeDo.

s/drone/guerilla tactics/
and the answer, speaking as a veteran, is nothing.

I expect to get downvoted for this, but after a tour in Iraq I firmly believe theres no weapon or countermeasure thats going to be unilaterally effective at arresting the concept of guerilla warfare and terrorism except negotiation. Otherwise, you end up dividing your city into red and green zones, and pretty soon even if a terrorist attack hasnt happened in a few months, terrorism is pretty successful in making peoples lives outright miserable. smoking kills more americans than terrorism in 2017, but we still have to take our shoes off at the airport.

People just want equality, some measure of freedom, liberty, and prosperity. Show up with tanks, rig an election in favor of your candidate, and disenfranchise an entire segment of the population like we did in Iraq, and you will find people will adopt all sorts of creative and clever methods to not only sabotage your mission, but actively eliminate your high value targets youve come to rely upon for 'nation building' or whatever geopolitical pursuit du-jour is popular.

In Iraq, we called it "winning hearts and minds." doing things to fix problems like providing clean water or just a few meals made incredible progress in crushing the enemies ability to recruit anyone more sophisticated than an angry goat herder. And he quit being angry once we fixed the sidewalk to the mosque.

In maduros case, he is reviled by a sizeable majority of his population. he openly ignores major problems like starvation, he engages his people with violent tactics, and he disregards basic human rights and living conditions. Nothing, no technology on this earth, will keep you safe if your people turn on you. There is no police or military force that can endure sustained guerilla terrorist tactics indefinitely. Not even the US Military.
That's a much longer term elasticity. That's equivalent to flat-out raising electric rates and having people deal with hotter temperatures inside. That elasticity already exists, for the most part. Variable pricing probably doesn't get you a lot more of it.
Since this year you won't be allowed to do that anymore - since backwards compatibility behaviour allowed app developers to avoid privacy protecting features like runtime permissions.
So store the excess with a gravity train and sell it back later. https://www.aresnorthamerica.com/
What about grocery stores that sell food to the same person allowing them to exist and make those said podscasts? Are they as "wildly direct" as well?
They specifically said they would have to implement a special case for heroes that control more than one unit in the future.

So you're saying that even before they set up a rule about microing illusions to protect humans from a feature that they have not yet implemented nor, I assume, have trained the model on?
For some reason i'm not the biggest fan of vim on a computer. But, vim on android with termux is the best editor i've found for android and I don't know why but as weird as it may seem using vim with the right touchscreen keyboard isn't actually that bad. It's the only realy solution i've found for doing small amounts of programming on my phone. Nothing big, but for small hundred line or so, scripts and such vim is definitely the best thing i've found to use on android.
Well, that may be jumping to conclusions. Maybe the corporate types weren't reacting to the change in color at all. Maybe they were doing a rational cost benefit analysis - 6010 is 10 times better than 601, and 479 is only 6 times the price. Clearly the value proposition has been noticeably improved!
Sure, that works well if you're willing to wait 20 years for devices to be replaced.

Though batteries keep improving and eating in to the amount you can save by doing that.
As per other comment, this one seems to be about it: "Daniel Gross (YC) – Life as a Founder"
This is on your hands, too.

I mean, it's probably not even worth me making the same cliched points about responsibility to vote, that you can read anywhere else. I'll just note this: the disappointment in Obama, the lack of perfect (or often, even "good") candidates, the general disappointment in the actions by government... none of that is new, unique to this cycle, unique to the U.S., or unique to you.
The Chevy Volt is not a serial hybrid like the I3. It has a very complex transmission system to blend the gasoline engine and electric motor power. A nice car, but not at all simple.
This is fud - buying the right parts means you'll have a working Hackintosh within about 30 to 60 minutes from start to finish.
I'm typing this from a Hackintosh, my very first actually. All I did was follow the https://www.tonymacx86.com/ guides.
No issues through all High Sierra updates, the nVidia drivers have been generally problem free too.
It's rather sad to see how none of the comments here are actually commenting on Android P/Kotlin friendliness.

(Which is available to all Android developers, not only those targeting P - the nullability headers will give you all the benefits even if your app supports older Androids.)
There seems to be a tremendous opportunity brewing for censorship-free service providers. If the Terms of Service were such that they only prevented illegal activity, spam, and other automated abuse being conducted on their platform, and left content alone, is there a way to make that feasible?
No, peatmoss's argument is to not use macOS because (among other reasons) Apple is making it less desirable (iOS-ifying it). Don't use it on Apple hardware, don't use it on hackintosh hardware.
I looked into this in a lot of detail about 5 years ago. There were a couple of studies, and one somewhat-active company I saw (Stratosolar - didn't seem to be very well resourced/capable).

My main focus was on aerodynamic modelling and panel positioning methods for various structure sizes, and the resulting LCOE. Main issues I found were:
- Weather conditions in the stratosphere aren't well understood; most of the time pretty benign, but there are a bunch of extremes which could have a significant impact on the structural requirements.
- It's basically a tradeoff of panel-cost/conventional-installation-cost vs aerostat-cost/non-conventional-installation-cost. The aerostat is definitely not going to be cheap, so having your panels on an aerostat has to result in a bunch more energy per PV-element than having them on the ground.
- Having the aerostat option come out on top gets more difficult as PV gets cheaper. Let's say you get 2x energy from PV on an aerostat vs installed on the ground. That means the aerostat option will be competitive with the ground option as long as the total installed cost (per watt) is less than 2x the terrestrial installed cost.
If the terrestrial installed cost reduces by a factor of two (and it's reduced by more than that since I did the analysis!), you suddenly have to reduce the marginal cost of your aerostat option by 50% just to remain competitive!
- To be economic and sufficiently robust to expected weather, these structures have to be enormous; the architecture that seemed most promising to me (from memory) was cylinders of length 4km and diameter 1km (roughly 1GW electrical output peak, more like 500-600MW annualised). They're at least semi opaque, and are tethered around 20km altitude (and can drift within a ~10km radius around the tether point). At that altitude they're visible from several hundred kilometers away, and they look huge - 15x the width and length of the largest cruise ships.
- It doesn't help THAT much with seasonal variation away from the equator. Summer output in northern europe is still 2-3x winter output, so you need long term storage or an energy dump.

So... I think it's super interesting, but I don't think it'll ever be commercially attractive vs either terrestrial installations, or space. The main nice thing is that it's still pretty easy to get the power back down to earth with high efficiency... in contrast to orbital solar.
I like the owl...
For me it was that google had burned all their credibility with me on GWT. I’m not taking any more career risks on their projects. Too much corporate ADD over there.
I lived through the gas crisis. People were able to instantly change their use of gas to adapt. A simple example: people no longer drove to the store to buy a loaf of bread. They shifted to one trip and buying several days worth. They started carpooling. They started tuning up their cars (an ill-tuned car can be very inefficient).

Notably, Paul Graham is listed on the curriculum! Is this going to be pg's first appearance in years?
Their are insane. They have absolutely no leg to stand on.

Tesla has sustained enough Model 3 production that they produce positive cashflow and they will be profitable in Q3/Q4. As one large investor said, Tesla short term guidance has been pretty reliable.

Unless some massive macro event happens there is no way Tesla stock is gone fall back to prices where many of the shorts hold once they have proven the are able to mass produce cars.

Their reasons for the short positions are getting worse and worse. The main argument has been that Tesla is unable to produce Model 3 and will not have positive cash flow. Those arguments are all but dead in the water if you look at current sales numbers.
Sorry to pick on you, but this kind of "solution" is childish and misses the point. The problem is with the law, and the solution is to make the law better. Breaking the law in new ways will only end up wasting more time in court.
You do understand that going public does not automatically equal only valuing short term profits right?
That's kind of a glass-half-empty way to look at it, which is true for conventional hybrids. But real range-extended EVs also have the upsides of both cars:

- Quiet, no exhaust, clean, and simple when driving on electric (which is most of the time)

- Most (but not all) of the reliability of a real EV. (You can go almost a whole year on a single oil change, since you aren't using the gas engine much. You can go forever on a single break pad set, since you regen most of the time)

- The full range + refill speed of any gas vehicle (for roadtrips or other instances you needed it)

There's also some fun minor efficiencies in there too. Batteries in EREVs are smaller and weigh a lot less when they only have to carry you 50 miles instead of 250. Gas is a lot more convenient when you really do want to roadtrip across the whole USA as quickly as possible, (no hunting for charging ports, which might be broken or offline. No waiting for recharge)

I don't have the figures right here, but I believe it worked out that you could eliminate ~75% of all personal automobile tailpipe emissions in the entire USA today, if you put a Chevy Volt drivetrain into every single vehicle, and convinced just the people who park a car at a single family residence, to plug in their car at night. (even ignoring all apartment/condo/street-parking folks who cant charge)
You bet. There'd quickly be add-ons to adapt existing systems to do this, and powerful incentives for the manufacturers of those systems to bring out new designs to take full advantage.

My electric bill is hundreds of dollars a month. Cutting it in half would be very motivating to me to buy new systems.
I think you will find that large companies attract criticism continually, and release open source software continually.
Elon already said this was not the case. You will be able to continue to hold. Stop spreading a panic when you have no evidence that your story is true.
Don't you need a PhD for that?
If there was a moment to create an alternative that specifically "left content alone" to FB and Youtube, it'd be now. I wish I had the resources/time to do that, but I don't. I hope somebody finds the time, though.
I get why developers would be interested in this, but it doesn't feel like something that moves the needle. It's a decent first step if the end goal is to promote Kotlin to the place Java occupies in Android development and (at the same time) fix some of the issues with the inconsistent and over-engineered APIs.
About ten years ago I read a paper describing a pilot plant in 1950's Norway that was electrowinning iron from sulfide ore. I think the energy usage was 4-5kwh/kg.

Roughly the reason it's not economic is electricity nominally costs about 5 times what coal/nat gas does. And with the current carbon footprint of the grid it probably doesn't reduce CO2 emissions.

But that could change with as clean grid that has wild daily price swings. Electrowinning iron and other metals could easily soak up excess power.
It is well functioning economy, but is it good for the environment, CO2 emissions in particular?

Because with negative electricity prices, the obvious "good" investment is in peaking power plants. And considering that the best spots for hydro are already well exploited, it means fossil fuel. Natural gas is the best but newer coal plants, like the one they are building in Germany can do that to some extent.
He never said 'investors' didn't care about the long term goal, SpaceX has tons of investors and Tesla will continue to hold them.

Interesting… let me see if I am getting this right. After the San Francisco part, am I a Triplebyte employee or I am a contractor? If the former, do I get a set salary or I am only getting commissions for each interview I actually conduct? If the latter, contractor, can I still do my own work or other commitments/jobs whilst doing interviews when I can?
What has @pg been up to recently? I remember the good old days when he was semi-invisible moding on hn. My participation has gone down due to other priorities but it seems that his spirit is well continued here and the new mods are excellent at keeping drama out and making hn stay true to its core.

It's pretty clear that they are. And so it is arguable that the First Amendment should apply.

However, it's also arguable that the men who wrote the Bill of Rights had not even a shred of a clue about the power of social media on the Internet. News spread slowly then, and there was time for considered debate.

I mean, they were concerned about restraining democratic will to protect against populist extremism. For example, US senators were initially elected by state legislatures. And the Electoral College wasn't just an accounting system.

But damn, I don't have an answer. One could argue that Alex Jones is basically yelling "fire", and so has no expectation of free speech. But what about the antiwar.com people? What's so horrible about advocating the rights of Palestinians, or opposing sanctions against Iran?
You've got it backwards. Germany pushed heavily for Diesel. The EU is pushing back by insisting on clean air in cities which Diesels have a hard time with. German politics is trying absolutely everything to avoid having to introduce driving bans.
