The hybrid transaxle on the Prius is a technological marvel.

While the transaxle and battery pack add their own significant costs, complexity, and failure modes, they also eliminate a lot of the components on a conventional gas engine vehicle.

In my area, it is common to see a lot of hybrids used as taxis. Some of the older ones I see likely have 500k miles.
If there's a limited amount of money to be spent, "most bang for your buck" is a moral imperative. We do it to some extent -- measures like the "QALY" ("quality-adjusted life-year") attempt to quantify "bang", though I'm not sure how rigorously we apply them in determining whether to follow some course of treatment.

(It's also fairly standard to give a QALY some fixed dollar value. Uncomfortable, perhaps, but again -- necessary from a moral perspective, at least if you're a utilitarian deciding what to spend on healthcare.)
Hmm, I have I only heard about statewide efforts. Even statewide, only a couple of states are investing in this technology (CA, NY, and TX). Are there federal incentives that I overlooked?
Complaints about gopath always feel like such a nitpick to me. Environment variables are trivial. Few Languages are as simple as Go, when it comes to development environments.
Google Maps definitely made JavaScript cool at a time when it was not much in favor - people still thought Java Applets or Flash were going to rule the web.
If you put one on a helicopter or drone you could sweep a large area quite quickly. That could be especially useful in situations where a person wasn't planning to be in the wilderness and thus would be more likely to have a phone on them but not another GPS-enabled communicator.
Can anyone please suggest how go about learning subjects like Analysis of Algorithms which is quite a math heavy subject?
Any, in principle. Minimal also means RAM-friendly. I can boot into X and open a terminal with less than 256 MB.

Obviously if you add Firefox, you will need around 2 GB to run comfortably.

And then a lot depends on what you develop for.

NixOS is also a bit more disk intensive than other distros due to the way libraries are linked. But it's nothing too excessive.
Any problems with the touch screen working in Ubuntu? Can you still use the pen to sketch in drawing programs etc?

I need a good Linux-friendly laptop with touch screen for sketching as well as code dev, so I'm very curious about this one.

This is what I see the as greatest value that Tesla brings to the world. Not their cars themselves, but the fact that they made the incumbents get off their lazy asses and actually innovate, after many years of wasting time perfecting the cars' cup holders.
Notes on numerics in Swift
It may not be just hype, Javascript is fashioned like C, most normal devs feel comfortable around C like languages. Infact a good testament to this is the growth of Typescript which makes both C# and Java crowd feel at home.
And your source for that information? (other than using Samsung cells).

I'm really curious because claiming they lost money on that project is rather specific.

Also, claiming that Samsung could have done that is specific.

Was Samsung one of the 90 bidder on that project?

Did Samsung do any utility-scale storage installation.

Does Samsung even have a competing product? Contrary to what you seem to assume, Powerpacks involve a bit more than putting li-ion cells in a box.
Well, the OP should have posted it as https://asciinema.org/
That's a rather charitable way to spin going from growth to stagnancy.
In the public context, people often cite the consensus predictions to get a better understanding of what people _think_ will happen vs. what they _want_ to happen.

In a corporate context, prediction markets are often used internally amongst employees to predict things like sales forecasts, ability to hit milestones, budgets, quantify risks, and predict the outcome of strategic initiatives.

In both contexts, people tend to participate anonymously so they have the freedom to express what they actually think. Contrast this, especially inside a company, with the politics of saying what you actually think. That "reality based" discourse is unheard of, especially in larger organizations. Prediction markets are often the only venue someone can express themselves in a productive way.
They're the same thing:

"Generics" is a term from software engineering, describing how the concept is typically used.

"Parametric polymorphism" is a description from a type theoretic standpoint.

"Templates" are an implementation strategy.
You could try to be charitably skeptical instead of pedantic, dismissive, and gratuitously insulting.

From the website linked, we can infer that “misunderstood” is supposed to be “misunderstood word”.
MBPs do have great SSDs, but I don't particularly care about (or optimize for) resolution or colour.

If you remove those from the mix, there are many examples. The Dell XPS series, higher end Zenbooks, and Lenovo Ideapads all beat the MBP.
In most urban areas hooking up new electrical service does not usually mean breaking concrete. I think you'll be amazed how quickly cities deploy charging infrastructure once they realize the premium they can charge for the same parking spot.
> Sometimes it feels like those who are the loudest critics of Go aren't even Go developers

Perhaps unsurprisingly, those who didn't like what they saw when taking a look at Go might well have chosen to work in other languages.

This might be a basis on which to prioritize criticism -- certainly the criticisms of those who use a language are more important to those managing it than the complaints of those who don't use it -- but it's not a reasonable basis on which to disqualify criticism.

And to point a criticism back: sometimes it feels like some of Go's loudest defenders don't choose to offer the discussion much beyond that response ("you're not really using it because if you were you'd see that the pain point you're describing is imaginary or not that bad or has plans to make plans to be fixed").

I don't begrudge anyone who likes it their happiness using it. I know people who really do like it. But I know people who gave it a fair shot didn't like it. Mine was 9 months of part-time work on a project before I settled into the conclusion that most of MJD's faint praise of Java (https://blog.plover.com/prog/Java.html ) plus a few extra downsides applied to Go. Including, yes, the arguably generic-shaped hole.

I also don't begrudge the stewards of the language their own solution to that problem or their own timeline for it. Presumably a similarly generous spirit should apply to complaints continuing to register. If the pothole is still in the road, it isn't surprising that observations about it continue to roll in even after plans to develop plans to fix it may have been announced.
My favourite UX aspect of OSX is how spotlight works with searching for applications.

If the application isn't already open, it launches it. If the application is already open, it brings it to the foreground.

In contrast on windows, the search bar seems to just be a launcher. In that if the application is already open and you search for it, it opens a second copy. As far as I could find, this behaviour isn't changeable.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get osx's search style on any of the nice gui having Linux variants?
Notion's UI is so genius. It's clean, intuitive, flexible. It's like everything I love about Google Docs, Quip, and Workflowy but with Slack-like slash commands, mentions, and integrations.
It part of the death by papercuts for me. Sure, it's trivial, but it's the only language that requires it and I can't see any benefit of it. When working with multiple projects, it can lead to weird errors until you remember to change it too.

It's like getting a house where you have to use 2 separate switches to turn each light on/off. Is it a big deal? No. It's just weird and annoying, without an obvious benefit.
You know what cured me of this? Being the proud lessee of an environmentally friendly, low-end-torque having, fuel-sipping 2014 VW diesel Jetta.

Oops.
What’s the point of “guessing” something uncharitable and then making a dismissive hostile comment, instead of either examining the link or just keeping quiet?

Remember, the other people posting here are humans with feelings, and they are contributing because they want to be helpful. It’s quite unfortunate that the previous poster was so heavily downvoted based on readers’ knee-jerk reaction to Hubbard’s name.

The claim of the materials on the website is that 3 serious barriers to learning are (1) studying objects or phenomena without ever interacting with them personally, but only treating them abstractly/formally, (2) studying skills/ideas beyond the student’s current level without first covering prerequisite skills/ideas and building slowly, (3) misconceptions stemming from misunderstood words. It does not suggest that fixing these 3 things is easy, or will solve every problem in education.

Sure, this seems largely like common sense, and is by no means a revolutionary insight (contrary to the site’s marketing message), but in practice schools often do a terrible job at following this basic advice, and many students e.g. don’t really know how to use a dictionary. It seems this organization has various materials and training for sale. It is at least plausible that these are well produced and useful.
May you live in exciting times.

There's no physical reason why there can't be municipal on street charging, even if it's "pay to charge." Think like parking meters.

There just needs to be a demand for the initial infrastructure to be built.
The NYC subways were built via public-private-partnerships, in what would nowadays be called a DBF(O)M (design-build-finance-operate-maintain) model.
Japan did alot of damage at the latter end of the Qing Dynasty too, yes (same time as peak opium epedemic/imports).

What followed a decade after was very telling though (I will skip the Boxer Rebellion but worth reading up on)....

In 1905, Roosevelt signed a secret treaty with the Japanese on his Imperial Cruise, allowing them to expand into Korea and the rest of Asia.

I don't blame you for not knowing this history, most US historians are/were unaware. Even congress was unaware of the treaty until the documents were released many many years later (post nobel peace prize being handed out).

It's a big part of why most Americans believed Pearl Harbor was potentially a precursor to a Japanese invasion attempt... When it was actually just a slap for breaking a 4 decade long secret treaty that greenlit Japanese expansion (USA renegged on this treaty during the 2nd Sino-Japanese war).

They already do something better for their ad business moat. They just push their Google Apps bloatware collection on the Android ecosystem at every possible chance they get. I use none of it, yet it still comes with my Samsung phone whether I like it or not. I would expect them to continue that approach with any operating systems they control.

I was excited when I first ran across that project on Crowd Supply, but for $42 you can buy multiples of all 3 processors. The advantage of using physical chips is they have the pinouts that have been used for decades and are well documented in hundreds of designs.

If you’re going to use an FPGA why only include the cores, what about peripherals? And if you’re synthesizing all that, how much better is it than just emulating the entire legacy system on ARM or x86? You say it’s those entire microcomputers on a chip, but isn’t it just the CPUs?

I’m not opposed to it, just looking to understand the motivation behind Retro-uC better.

Recently I ordered a set of 68k chips to build my own homebrew system, so I totally get building something that isn’t practical, where the journey is the destination.

>I have this notion that surrounding a subject with basket case conspiracy theories would be a good way to get people not to take it seriously :)

Indeed, it would. A lot of clever people have discussed the issue of disinfo & FUD, you might wish to:

* Watch this talk from FOSDEM '14 by Poul-Henning Kamp [Contextually, one important tidbit to keep in mind while watching it: At the time phk gave the talk, the heartbleed vulnerability in OpenSSL wasn't yet known!]:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwcl17Q0bpk

* and, perhaps, read these two blog posts, but tread carefully with those two, as, unlike the above video, the below edges MOST dangerously close to basket case conspiracy theory territory - arguably, it doesn't get there, but I can definitely say that if one slips while looking into the below, one'll immediately end up in basket case territory:

However, having said this & pointed out all of the above, before going down any of the above lanes, keep something else in mind:

1. Take a look at when some of these links got first published online. Multi-decade gap vs. original date of publication. Something unfortunately still the norm for a lot of old(er) scientific/academic literature.

2. Most of Frey's original papers from the 60s are still behind a HARD paywall. Again, unfortunately still the norm for a lot of old(er) scientific/academic literature.

3. The whole classified Radar tech research aspect of it (This whole avenue of research got started out when radar techs in the 60s started complaining about headaches when working in front of big damn radar dishes!)
Never read my posts again lol
I rather like Gnome on Debian, the hot corners and search are slick IMO. Never had to use OS X, but the UX is somewhat similar from what I hear.
But information isn't physical. I download the human genome, I don't get a clone of Craig Venter. I get some mosfets that were manufactured in a factory set. There's no mechanism that even makes sense for any of this. It's basically "But if I multiply time by -1..." There's no evidence for any of this, and no plausible mechanism of these pre-initial conditions to come about. It's just magic people from outside the universe.

That's the thing that makes it crackpot.

Sure Penrose did some good science before, but this isn't it. This is just bullshit. It happens. Tesla made a lot of discoveries with alternating current, and high voltage electricity, but then he died convinced he was talking to a martian civilization, and was on the cusp inventing a death ray. Watson and Crick discovered the structure of DNA, but in they're later years abandoned molecular biology and started to embrace various quackery that tarnished their legacy.
It's about how ORMs result in less clean code by forcing a clunky generic OOP paradigm on any DB interaction. You may not agree with this argument, but it is an argument.
Doubtful; I make more money than you, and I only make high liquidity investments, so I came away looking pretty nice the last time (too young to have made any money from 2008 though)
I'm hesitant to work in any JavaScript code base that isn't using TypeScript at this point. Two years ago, it was painful to use as any early release is but the benefits were obvious.

My biggest wish for TypeScript is that it was easier to use experimental flavors that supported JS features currently being considered, such as the pipeline operator proposal.
So, Paul Graham (PG) gives us anxiety about startups, fear, uncertainty, doubt, for young people getting stuck prematurely on a long track that might be a mistake and losing out on their youth, etc.

Okay, there are no doubt examples that support that.

But PG's focus is a bit narrow, something like YC graduate and VC funded $100 billion in 10 years or bust.

Here is a bigger picture that is really more accurate and optimistic:

First, we should consider a wider range of startups than "... $100 billion ...." We should note that the US is just awash in startups, from Aunt Martha's custom made wedding dresses and Joe's landscaping service to the full range of Main Street businesses in villages, towns, ..., the largest cities, border to border in the US, to much more. Some of these startups include Tom's ambitious Web site. Tom's older brother is half way through his ugrad electronics engineering degree and has taken a trip to China and lined up some manufacturing for a new pocket, wireless electronics item for some special purpose or other, uh, maybe letting Aunt Martha's customers send in good 3D specifications of their body shapes from some ultrasonic signals.

Lesson: There's a LOT of startup activity for all ages, both genders, all education levels, etc. in the US. Some of these, maybe not Aunt Martha's custom wedding dresses, maybe a young person's second startup if not their first, might be big surprises and become the $100 billion.

Second, PG is too narrow on the influences, inputs, information, inspiration, guidance, leadership, knowledge, experience, examples, etc. in practice available, and often important, for young people in business. As for dolphins, orcas, whales, wolves, big cats of Africa, ..., human children learn from their parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, grandparents, family members, friends, neighbors, etc. They might get to work in Uncle Harry's custom Web site development service or some of their father's 7 fast food restaurants, get started in wireless electronics from their grandfather, a senior engineer at Qualcomm, etc. -- maybe learn high school math by age 10, calculus at 11, vector analysis at 12, Maxwell's equations at 13 or some such and, then, do a wireless startup, with some help from Uncle Harry!

Lesson: For a lot of young people who want to start businesses, there are a LOT of information sources other than paying "full tuition" at the scary, solo school of hard knocks and high probability of failure in any of several respects that PG seems to paint.
Did you see he’s taking a hiatus from making videos? According to his YouTube channel his shoulder is in bad shape and he’s moving to be near his wife’s family.
what race has to do with this? Go topless in say Iran and report back on your experience. You do realize that Iran is "land of the Aryans" literally so while anything you disagree with you can easily dismiss by labeling it racism in this case you gonna have pretty tough time.
Best bodybuilding iOS app?
I'm hoping someone would be able to direct me towards a really good bodybuilding app? I've looked at Fitbod but the issue is it doesn't tell you starting weights or rests between sets. I'm looking for something that could help even newcomers get back into working out ( haven't done weight lifting in a long time) would love some suggestions!! thank you!

That doesn't look like a reputable source for legal advice.

It is certainly violating YouTube terms of service.

Given the video is available publicly, copying the video is what happens every time you watch it from your computer.

The conversion point doesn't apply as YouTube videos are mp4 and you can just play a mp4 as audio.

I'd argue it's covered by fair use but I'm not a lawyer.

Economic history has less incentive to lie and it's hard to retroactively change 100 years of accounting/trade history to maintain a fake national narrative.

I've built quite a few of these kinds of models. The real trick is to compare it against other methods AND to properly split A LOT of data. In many cases, (depending on the input data) a random walk does roughly as well as "predicting". This is because signal data (such as stock data) often just follow a random (or seemingly random) trend.
fivethirtyeight did a similar analysis of Messi going into the world cup and found he covered less distance than most players, but somehow managed to create more separation with the defence than anyone else.

I think it would be common across all sports to find the true elite players do something fundamentally different from everyone else. I would also place a large bet the thing they do that makes them elite would be something coaches at lower levels (or even the elite level) would be trying to train out of them trying to extract even more performance.
The mmWaves can easily be wave guided into the inner ear, as 1/2 wavelength at 60 GHz is 2.5 mm.

Perhaps he's referring to the recommendations that Tesla has: "We recommend installing the Wall Connector with a power output to match the on-board charger of the vehicle, typically a 40, 60 or 90 amp circuit breaker."

For comparison, the average home circuit is rated for 15 amps.

Even without capitalism, even without money at all, if you want your day job to continue to be "making movies" then there is an incentive to cheat the numbers.

And it's not really 'tax payers' that pay the bill here, it's 'stock owners'. There's no reason to bail out a movie company.
It's a good point that design and manufacturing quality are an important component here.

I know the e-scooters used by Lime and Bird have seen a pretty quick iteration, and the models they have on the streets now are a lot better than the ones they had when they launched in my city just a few months ago.

In terms of in-between vehicles, I haven't seen too much yet. Our current street designs (at least in most of the US) make it really hard to operate a vehicle that is too small/slow to share the big & high speed lanes and intersections, but too large to move onto sidewalks or pedestrian spaces when you need to fill the gaps between safer/slower infrastructure.

You could look at what they drive around the retirement communities, seems to be a lot of designs that use a golf cart as a starting point.
