I can only speak for Germany but there are many local electricity providers that are putting charging networks up. There is also a joint venture by Daimler, VW, and BMW to build a network.

If you compare Tesla's network with all other available charging stations, Tesla's network is tiny, especially the super chargers are often 100km apart. Although, a lot of the non-Tesla charging stations can only deliver 3.7kW, which is pretty bad.

We have almost the exact opposite request. RE: stop and repl. Our Jenkins pipelines have escalated privs in that they can deploy code so are a juicy attack vector. Wed largely like these things to be read and execute only and any modifications need to go through review.
I could certainly have phrased that better. Quite a lot of the Germans I have met seem genuinely shocked that I’m actually learning German; registration is obligatory almost immediately after moving; the country brands itself as a place for immigrants; and English is the current lingua Franca (to the disappointment of the French)… it seems like an odd combination. France or Spain doing the same would be much less of a surprise.

It is a bit unfortunate that the Durants crammed all non-Western history in a single volume while devoting ten to European history, but it was a product of its time. Still, it is certainly well written and few historians attempt this sort of "complete" history these days.
Existing manufacturers have signed contracts with their dealers that say they must sell through them. Because of shenanigans in the past, these contracts are supported by special laws, which basically make it impossible to end them.
Yes, but somebody has to do all the work the dealer does. It's much easier for a manufacturer to delegate the work to the dealers where they get their slim cut. BTW, dealers make very little profit these days
I'm sure they'll still have plenty of other places to put fancy electrical or computer-controlled gizmos that break often. They wouldn't be German if they didn't! (Though I've never owned a Mercedes... just pretty much all of the other German brands.)
That may be so, but on older cars you don't have to turn on your low beams when it is daylight savings time.
Considering humans are the demonstrated reason for climate change, I'd argue some anti-human sentiment is a bit overdue. Nature's going to be fine. Life will recover once we're gone. It's us humans that are going to suffer because of our humanist entitlement.
If you change the words, you've changed the meaning. That seems like it should be uncontroversial and straightforward. If your argument is based on that not somehow being the case, I think we can safely say it's a dumb argument. This isn't a personal attack, and I haven't called anyone a toddler. Although if one then takes it as a personal attack, I'd be inclined to think that person is a bit of a snowflake. But I wouldn't say it because that would be namecalling.

I’d think an engineer and surgeon could hire a housemaid to help out with the cooking. In the USA, it’d be a household income of > $600k.

I saw a documentary a few years ago. The woman cooked breakfast, then after the husband left, immediately started lunch. Brought lunch to the husband in a stacked lunch-pail, them immediately started with dinner.

They cooked all day; crazy. Of course Indian food takes a long time to make well. I don’t know how they do it in restaurants. It takes me three hours.

Most new cars all run synthetic fluids and platinum plugs so maintenance is already greatly reduced. Oil change every 10k miles, spark plugs every 75k miles. The other liquids don't even need to be changed except maybe a flush of the radiator every 100k miles. The most costly thing on luxury cars is that they usually come with performance tires that last 20k miles.
I'm hoping to keep it cheap though, and cloud deployment services scare me a bit on price. We're a ~15y old company (of which I'm recent) and in a domain where margins are fairly thin. I'd rather spend the sweat learning this (or hiring for it) than paying Heroku, fwiw.

Never lived in LA (been there for a few hours once), so I don't know. In Bay Area I lived in Berkeley for about 4 years and occasionally visited San Francisco and the the South Bay for entertainment etc, I would say the cultural atmosphere is similar. As I said I was talked to by strangers on the street (and especially in a market e.g. Trader Joe's, Safeway, The Dollar Tree etc...) on multiple occasions.

Currently living in Boston, MA. It's definitely not as usual as the Bay Area, people are significantly "colder" (for the lack of a better word) but I wouldn't say talking, or smiling to a stranger would be as weird as in Europe. Maybe LA is different than both the Bay Area and Boston area (although Boston being in itself significantly different than the Bay Area in the first place)

They can't distribute to shareholders, but they aren't required to reinvest. What exactly they can do, with profits or more generally, depends on the specific class of nonprofit they are.

> It wouldn't surprise me if he's right, but not for the right reasons. Half of US colleges could go bankrupt in 10-15 years simply because they don't really provide a good education.

Another reason (probably several) is that at the moment school education in the US is pretty bad. Private and even average US universities are usually decent at filling those gaps. Even mediocre universities (as long as they are inexpensive), can provide some benefits because they have to compete and convince parents that their money is not going to be completely wasted.

Improve schools so most graduating kids have a decent general education and experience in 2-3 STEM technologies of choice (which I bet we could achieve during 13 years of school) and suddenly the number of people who want to spend another 4 years at Podunk U shrinks a lot more. My 2c.

The con is that you’re shafting consumers and eliminating true competition.

I wish the world adopted ML's modules and functors. Especially higher-order functors, which are kind of an extension of the standard.

But I think Go is more worried about compiler performance, so if there are significant complexities in the surface syntax of generics or in their downstream consequences, it will be an impediment there. I think the people behind Go consider most type theory to be an impediment to productivity and would rather accept something simple with shortcomings they understand than try to do it "right." I think this is a perfect example of Unix's "worse is better" philosophy. Whether we agree with it or not is another question.
No one said anything about telling poor people to travel. The point is that many are already content with what they have. Sure, if they don't have enough food to eat, or access to clean water, that's clearly an issue. But those who have met their basic human needs, generally don't feel unhappy because they aren't buying a new iPhone ever year. I recently spent a month backpacking through India, and the people with the most have nots were some of the warmest, happiest, and inviting people I've ever met in my entire life.

From the article, it sounds like Loggan is exactly that. Never complains. Never asked for a promotion. Content with what he has.

“He could retire now,” said Javon Chambers, his grandson, himself a Walker Bros. busser for 15 years. “He’s financially straight and everything. I just think he knows when people retire, they die. That’s what he’s said: Old people don’t have nothing to do, they see their friends retire, and then they retire, and that’s when they die of boredom too. It’s like people who are married a long time — if one dies, the next goes right after. That’s like my grandfather and this place. He doesn’t want the will inside him to dry up.”

Ambition, in a time of low expectations, in a country defined by inequality, can mean holding on to what you have, internalizing your place in the world. “I think Loggan wanted to fit in somewhere,” said chef Pat Levy, also known as “Popeye”; he has worked at the restaurant 42 years, arriving in Chicago from Jamaica. “I think Loggan just decided to be a busboy. He is content. It’s all he wants. So I ask — isn’t that OK?”

For instance, the company took out life insurance on Loggan (payable to his wife); Ray says that for years he’s set aside about $50 a month for Loggan, as an informal retirement fund (subject to a 30 percent penalty for early withdrawal).
That's a way not to be the low-hanging fruit, but if someone wants this port they're going to find it.

For me, horns are a too frequent, rude disruption in the world.

Probably not. In small towns, the car dealership is one of the most important locally-owned businesses. They sponsor all the community events and contribute to the local politicians. They've got a lot more money to work with than the other typically local-owned businesses like restaurants or retail stores. Pissing off the car dealers is not something any politician - whether red or blue - wants to do if they're going to get rural votes.

You almost certainly don't need containers. Just use a PAAS (platform as a service). Heroku is the "go to" default, and will be worth much more than they charge. If you're worried about scaling, I've run off the shelve PAAS providers past 5000+ TPS without any issues.

If for some reason you can't use Heroku, you could try a hosted Cloudfoundry (https://run.pivotal.io). If you want something that hybridises PAAS-like behaviour with the big IAAS services, Amazon's Elastic Beanstalk isn't entirely awful. All these setups largely honour the PAAS haiku of "Here is my source code / Run it on the cloud for me / I do not care how" (https://twitter.com/sramji/status/599255828772716544?lang=en).

Don't waste your time on getting container orchestration going, or even containerising your app yet. For internal, low scaling, app-focused scenarios, you'd be mad to go down this road _unless_ your code has been broken into many discrete deployable artefacts _and_ you need to run them all on the same machine (either locally or in production).

You have an app. You want to run it. PAASes do _exactly_ this.

Edit: I see you're worried about costs. PAAS are pricier than the equivalent AWS instance when you consider raw compute, sure. However, factor in your time in creating the same level of redundancy, deployability and monitoring, I'd be shocked if Heroku wasn't an order of magnitude cheaper. Note that PWS Cloudfoundry will host you any 12 factor app for $21.60/GbRAM/month with no bandwidth limit you'll ever hit.

Georgia tech is one of the best comp sci universities out there, and their online masters program is not only accredited, it's indistinguishable from the on site masters program. The peice of paper does not diffirentiate between the two.

So the credentials are there for Georgia tech, I do not know about the others though.
best response I've had to that is 1) they'll retry queries internally if they don't work externally (leaking everything first) 2) people should not have internal only domains, everything to the cloud!
One thing I don't get about online schools and courses is their lack of laboratory facilities. How is a student supposed to do engineering or natural sciences without labs? When I was doing engineering we used to spend so much time in labs doing experiments on expensive machines (electron microscope, X-ray diffractor etc.) that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. For me the real learning happened in the lab. How do MOOC and online courses plan to fill this gap?

> In my experience in Computer Science most papers are at conferences and if those simply focused on the conference itself and maybe a website linking to the arxiv versions of the accepted papers there simply wouldn't be a need for any other publishing.

Actually some conferences come with "publishing fees" in the form of "if you want to publish at our conf of course you'll have to present here, which means you'll buy a ticket, which is veeeeery expensive".
I think they're referring to Gruber's blog on the hiring at the time (and maybe his podcast & Twitter, but that's harder to search):

"You don’t see many executives trading up from CEO of one company to senior vice president of another. That Browett is from Europe is a pretty good signal that international expansion is a top priority for Apple retail."

He was already hedging his bets a couple of days later, though:

https://daringfireball.net/linked/2012/02/02/dixons-sucks

"I'm not implying that Browett was hired to or intends to Dixons-ify the Apple Store experience — just pointing out that it’s a curious hire, also given how rarely Apple hires executives from outside the company."
In general you can avoid pip breaking things by doing so inside a virtualenv. The following should work on at least the last few years' worth of OSes:

$ virtualenv /tmp/ve
$ /tmp/ve/bin/pip install -U pip setuptools
$ /tmp/ve/bin/pip install cmake
$ /tmp/ve/bin/cmake ...
$ rm -rf /tmp/ve

On some OSes (e.g. Debian and derivatives) you'll need to install virtualenv itself from the OS first, but that won't break things because it's from the OS.

On sufficiently old OSes, you may need to set PIP_INDEX_URL=https://pypi.org/simple/ and PIP_TRUSTED_HOST="pypi.org files.pythonhosted.org" to disable certificate verification. (I'm not sure of a good way to work around this problem. In theory, Python 3 would solve it, but those same old OSes have an old enough Python 3 that the latest version of setuptools fails, and I can't figure out how to install an old enough setuptools.)

Also - if you need to unbreak your system Python, in general it suffices to ensure that /usr/local/lib and ~/.local/lib have no pythonX.Y directories with anything in them. (Empty directories are fine.) At my last job where we needed to give non-sysadmins root access on certain machines, I added a Nagios check to /usr/local/lib/python*, which was remarkably effective at catching problems before they turned inexplicable.
Don't forget Dokku - https://github.com/dokku/dokku

Dokku is extremely flexible Heroku alternative, and a good introduction to dev-ops. You can start-out treating it like a "dumb" Heroku host, but install plugins and customise to your heart's content. You can easily migrate from apps/buildpacks to Dockerfile's one app at a time etc.

Whilst it's great for getting your apps up and running, and learning basic dev-ops at your own pace. It's not really designed for scale/reliability. So if your small business/app/service starts to take off, you'll quite likely need to migrate to K8s, Docker Swarm, Amazon ECS, if not for scale, for redundancy/reliability.

Weekly Celery How-To Tutorials
Some states are working on it. The reason it's illegal in most states is because it's an old law that was created to prevent Ford, Chevy, etc. from using their huge amount of resources to force smaller dealerships out of business. It's like how Wal-Mart uses it's huge amount of money to keep low prices until it forces all of the local competition out of business, then raises them once their is nothing you can do about it. Most people want it to go away now though, since it's obviously bad for new automakers that want to enter the market but don't have the mass appeal to get independent dealerships to risk having a bunch of relatively niche cars in stock that never get sold.
What words have been changed?
