It's fun that EVs are going to be the "sleeper" in transforming the energy grid; California needs tons of energy storage in order to transition entirely to renewables, and those EVs everyone is buying are a perfect compliment. A million Teslas on the road in California would be over 10GW of controllable charging load (roughly 10 stationary storage facilities PG&E is currently building with Tesla), and a more optimal destination for excessive renewable energy instead of being forced to pay a neighboring state's grid to take that excessive clean energy. A million EVs a year sold in California is 10GW of additional energy storage per year.

My "ask" is that if you own an EV, and your employer isn't progressive about charging stations, politely prod them (there are usually incentives, find these!). My employer has an environmental progress initiative, and it only took a few emails for them to install a few Tesla and Clipper (non-manufacturer specific) chargers in our parking garage.

I would recommend freecodecamp. I used it as a beginner (Javascript) and its very detailed AND free.
It's not really the web browser that enabled it. Web browsers have been around for a very very long time.

Instead, it's two big recent changes:

1. The relative ease at which application developers can build globally scalable infrastructure via Cloud PaaS.

2. More computers can depend on always-connected internet access.

Also worth mentioning:

Users also had a strong preference for apps that performed like native apps, which made using cross-platform toolkits less appealing (still exists when building mobile apps).

Apple Mac's didn't switch over from power pc to x86 until ~2006, which meant only large companies could support code bases for both, Windows and OSX.

Linux had a number of competing distributions, and expertise on how to deliver linux software to customers wasn't common knowledge.
They are already using EME (specifically Widevine, which is developed by Google itself) on some videos. As far as I know, youtube-dl is perfectly capable of removing it.

I think there is a broader point to be made here about mental illness treatment in America, but boy, I'm just sad I couldn't have known Terry at a point when he was well, and now that will never happen.

Really great advice here. Sometimes might feel a bit stupid having all that equipment for a relatively short journey, but so worth it when you do need it.
"It sounds like a lot"

Yes it does. So many people travel without the basics.

I remember reading some years back about a couple being found dead of thirst in the Sahara desert, in to which they went on a day trip... without bringing water.
Range more than charging times.

With EVs (and if you have a charger) waking up with a 'full tank' is pretty amazing... something ICE auto can never experience.
That's a big ask in most places. Median personal income in the US is right around $45k.

That day will only come if they produce a cheaper car, just like Android ecosystem with Samsung makes cheap phones. TESLA cant do it, because their per unit car profits are too high. We need a new car manufacturer that keeps its per car sale margins low and rely of volume.
Yes, it was but I wanted to access information with a web browser as well. I might give it a try again.
It's interesting you mention similarities with machine learning, when in fact, chronologically speaking, the formalisation of Quantum Mechanics used (complex) tools from Hilbert Space.
Seems just as likely that the correct interpretation is that exponential growth is difficult to appreciate when starting from a small base. The “inflection point” cited in the article could easily be a continuation of the exact growth rate present for the previous 10 years.

> high savings

Japan has an extremely low savings rate. They had a high savings rate 20 years ago. The broader economic decline has coincided with their savings rate dropping to nearly zero.

https://i.imgur.com/j4jZPIb.jpg

That's also why the Japanese Government had to shift to debasing the Yen instead of continually borrowing from domestic savings to fund their debt. There is no domestic savings to buy up the debt issuance.

The whole process is resulting in the wipe out of the Japanese standard of living. It's their debt that is entirely responsible, it's plundering their ability to invest in the private economy effectively. There's no reason the Japanese shouldn't be capable of a GDP per capita on par with Sweden, the Netherlands or Denmark. Instead they're continually falling further behind. When all of your money is going to service debt, you can no longer properly invest into growth opportunities. We see this effect at the household level, at the corporate level, and at the national level.

Japan already had nice infrastructure when they went on a debt-laden public works bonanza to try to prop up their flailing economic growth, so the return on that investment in real terms is plausibly extremely negative. Not only did they make the mistake of massively over-investing into infrastructure right when their population was set to begin declining, not only did they use debt to do it (which they'll never stop paying for), but now they have to try to maintain it.

Put simply, they misallocated their wealth to extravagant public works spending that they didn't actually need, and did so at exactly the wrong time.
Assuming 0% inflation or a real return on the $1M well above 4%, no health issues, no change in expenses, no massive drawdown in the market in year one, etc.

Build a spreadsheet that has "expected return" (e.g., 1.06) and inflation (e.g., 1.03), annual expenses, taxes, starting principal, and then project out the annual rate of return net of expenses + taxes for 30-60 years from age 30. You will be surprised at how soon $1 million seems like nothing. Keep in mind that both expenses and returns can see shocks (not to mention taxes) that put you in a situation where "be below your earnings" assumption goes underwater and the compounding effects work against you rather than for you.

All I'm saying is this: be prepared that 5-20 years into your super-early retirement that you're kicked back into the job market--so have skills and a reasonable path for where you're going to come back into the market. It's not really a coincidence that many of these early retirement lifestyle gurus are supplementing their decisions via the job of competing for eyeballs as bloggers.
You can push back or negotiate the deadline. In my short career, I found that most deadlines are BS. They're just there because someone somewhere made the arbitrary decision that it needs to be delivered by then. There is no reason behind it.
> The touchbar is fairly useless, but I was able to bind escape to caps lock very easily, muscle memory though is still a problem

I started using a 2017 Macbook Pro last week. First thing I did with the touch bar was set it to be all function keys rather than app-specific stuff. I still miss the feedback of hitting the escape key, but otherwise it's okay.
I didn't use the term revisionist, I just felt like I understood where OP was coming from. People act as if Jobs' harm towards others takes away from his achievements - that's the revisionist part - when in reality those things are orthogonal.
Weak. Any proper treatise on this would be mathematical. A comparison of polls versus prediction markets would be appropriate, based on intervals of confidence.

Also these tools are more useful with MVS since lower versions are better known (vulns more likely to be in these databases). If you’re getting the latest version the odds of an unknown vulnerability are much higher.
Sorry. Are you asking if copyright licenses can be enforced?
Companies can ultimately fail even after going public. Later investors pay earlier investors, founders, or other shareholders by definition. There is nothing smart or dumb about either. Employees have options for liquidating there shares as well in the secondary markets.
I've been using the offline version of Draw.io for this. You can save diagrams as individual xml files. Unfortunately the data is base64 encoded by default so you have to manually convert them to a searchable format. I wrote a script to do that: https://github.com/JesseAldridge/draw.io-convert
Sorry if I'm wrong, but I thought there was some problem with the engine in your Jeep and you had to buy a new one and finance the trip on credit - I was going off what I remember of your words, not Reddit people.

Business class has gotten pretty cheap these days. I'm in the middle of a trip from LA to Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, and New York… all in business class with the long-hauls on lie-flat seats. Total cost… $1700. Entirely reasonable, and for me paying a bit extra is a no-brainer.
The prices have to come down too. the Electric cars are 5-6 times more expensive than the normal cars. By cheap normal cars i meant Hyundai Accent which costs $14,995, Or Toyota Yaris $16000 or Chevrolet Sonic $20K or a ford fiesta $14K.
I’m new to this concept. Can someone help explain how prediction markets are used for good? Given that this is a zero sum game, isn’t this just facilitating the transfer of money between the winner and the loser.
Not necessarily disputing your second paragraph's financial/economic points, but if you're owning apartments (and managing them) or have a medical practice, you're not retired. That does say to me that a lot of this early "retirement" mythos is merely a euphemism for "non-traditional career downsizing." Nothing wrong with that.
The rural/urban divide is one of the smaller predictors of broadband awareness. The biggest is age [1]

It's also funny because I think that the internet is still overrated, moreover, some of the supposed 'outdated' virtues lamented in the video (by virtue of the fact they are promoted by the out-of-touch luddite father) would be the 'your sister will appreciate her education more because she worked hard for it' ... I think that's a rather timelessly good piece of advice.

And the doofus mechanic literally watching cartoons, while avoiding work, who could not find the engine on the car? How long do you think he lasts in a small town where word travels fast? In my 'home town' the mechanic guy is utterly competent and trustworthy. And frankly creative and smart, he actually enjoys solving problems all day every day.

It is a little premature. I think it will make much more sense in two or three decades (?) *when we can get self driving mostly working.

This may be unpopular but control knobs are silly. How often do you reach for that climate control knob? Why can't the car just do the right thing? Why does the knob need to exist?

My opinion is that doing away with knobs we don't need to be persistent is a good thing. Now, in a car today with no real self driving, we want the brakes to be accessible by a persistent control and it is in all cars. I just think tweaking climate control isn't that high in the list of priorities.

They will come down when more people buy them. Manufacturing efficiencies aren't magic. There are tens of billions of dollars of R&D and capex that need to be amortized.

Also, while an EVs upfront costs are higher, the total cost of ownership is lower, as an EV costs about half as much (per mile) [1] as an internal combustion vehicle to operate.

I probably have a minority opinion here, but I think countries should as much as possible have their own tech stacks. There are many ways to do this: home grown web platforms, customized versions of Chromebooks, open source software, etc.

To me one of the pleasures of the world is different cultures, ethnicities, food, local politics, etc. I don’t want a “homogenized world” in which everything seems the same in different countries.
Like, say, Nissan?
I thought all that people do is listen to podcasts. I usually ride the bus (and listen to podcasts), but when I do drive and suffer through 45 minutes of bumper to bumper boredom interspersed with terror, I listen to podcasts. It's a bad day when driving if I forget to setup my podcasts in order.

There should be a startup opportunity for a smart scheduler, combined with voice integration. There are three types of things to listen to (corpuses?): music, a book or similar on tape, or podcasts. If I'm listening to a book, I probably want to continue listening. I want voice recognition to switch between them. 'play abbey road" already works in my car, but I can't continue the book i'm listening to. I can't ask for my usual daily podcasts - marketplace morning report for 5 minutes, then NY Times the daily, maybe a nasa podcast or something about politics, then yesterday's marketplace morning.
Who said anything about customer? Your advice is to build something that people will pay money for. My point is you can build something where users come first, and perhaps the "customers" don't show up until later. You can have great product metrics before you have a single customer. In many cases you can't even serve the customer before you have great product metrics. And I think startup founders should always be thinking of building the next Google or Facebook? It is sad to think otherwise
Misleading article, there are local startups everywhere. But no one in India is going to get rid of google, twitter , instagram , whatsapp or facebook, not simply because there are no alternatives but also because, we are living in a winners take all economy. Amazon is a fast growing ecommerce giant in India, infact India is their fastest growing market so much so that Amazon gives its Amazon prime service for as low as $20 per yr.

The part about it being just for video games teleported me back to childhood.

It was incredibly frustrating trying to learn linux and programming on my own in a household having religious parents who saw everything with a screen as corrupting Television/Videogames. It was, I shit you not, a constant war just to be able to study anything directly involving the computer.

It did give me a great appreciation for large textbooks though. Even if they were about computer topics, nobody gave me hell for spending hours with books about C or operating systems. Do the same thing interactively at the computer? Forget about it.
Card issuer always has to get some info if you want to be able to be reverse transactions and issue chargebacks.

There is nothing in a blockchain that can resolve this issue.
And an electric car owner won't experience being low on charge and filling up in less than one minute, unless battery swapping schemes come to fruition. Dealbreaker to me being stuck charging for hours (or even overnight if I only have 110) if the batteries are low.
Or GM?
We talk about the technical futility of copy protection. Or the erosion of fair use rights. But I have little sympathy for the parasitic websites that have built a business model out of violating Youtube's TOS. When Mozilla recently axed 23 extensions that were leaking browser history, 7 of them were for downloading videos or blocking ads on Youtube. This cottage industry is full of actors much less principled than the copyright cartel.

Now, if Google was smart they'd find a way to sell downloads. But good luck getting the media licensers to agree to it.
That's not being a sucker. The sucker is the guy who takes the other side of your arbitrage bets, when he could get a better price going to the stock market directly. And unless the prediction market has really good marketing, that guy doesn't exist.

Seems like it'd be smart to have a version with a "dead-man timer". Something like every X hours a beeper goes off and you have an hour to actively interact with the beacon (button, pin code, etc)
Ditto. I’m driving a Leaf and will never buy an ICE car again.

In the article, I’m surprised the EVs are about the same sales as hybrids. I figured there would still be more hybrid sales.
I feel like I reach for climate control all the time. Cars have tiny enclosed cabins and they go from cold to hot quickly depending on sun/shade etc. And how would it do the right thing? The right temperature is pretty subjective.
What? A normal car costs something like $30k. Electric cars don't cost $150-180k.

Not true, at least not everywhere, for instance in France, there is a right to make a copy of a copyrighted work for one's own private use. Or rather, this is not a right but an exception to the right of the copyright holder who cannot restrict that specific usage. A tax is paid on each blank media sold and distribited to copyright holders in compensation.

There are similar laws in Germany, Belgium, Spain, and maybe other countries.
Do any of you sync your Zim/open it from mobile, specifically Android? I've been using Zim for a few days now and it works well, but would be much better if I can access the database while on the go...
As I read it, it says a 74% chance of going up if you look at the market naively and forget that it's priced in ETH. Since it's priced in ETH, you can't derive the probability that ETH goes up directly - there are an infinite number of sets of probability distributions that are consistent with any price. If it goes up, you get paid off more (in USD), so if you thought the odds were 50% of it going up and you were offered an even money ETH bet, you should jump at it.

In Paris I can already see the number of Renault Zoe rising. I ask family members, they saw that too.
It all boils down to battery cost, and from what I have seen (in presentation), the battery costs have a Moore’s law type type reduction. In the next few years, the EV cost will be below ICE.
Of course you won't hear about those that are not writing about it, as they're not writing about it.
When was the last time you really needed that? I haven’t had to in years, and I work in .gov. The only thing I see is needing to enable Flash and that was awhile ago.
That's just not true. You can buy the Hyunday Ioniq for €32k, €38k for the maxed up model, Kona Electric for €40k with 500km range, soon the Kia Niro EV for €38k. These prices are only 20-30% higher than their ICE versions, and there are _many_ normal cars that go beyond this in the same categories.
