There is not much here about whether or not the US can sustain this position long term but in the short term this development puts in an advantageous position geopolitically. NATO is very reliant on Russian oil and if the US is a top producer we can export more to Europe, although Russia will most likely remain the preferred exporter.

Also, this allows us to have a more aggressive stance with Saudi Arabia, especially when it comes to their disastrous human rights record in Yemen. Although the issue with that is that the current administration has shown no interest in SA's human rights record and defense contractors would lobby strongly against any sort of stirring of the relationship.
Well, there are alternatives like TripCase, Kayak and many others. TripIt just happens to be the one I’ve used for actual trips.
This is a political disaster. Fracked crude is only profitable because the externalised costs of the catastrophic environmental damage are born by others.

This is another direct wealth transfer from the general population i.e. 99% to the 1%.

If instead of allowing fracking we invested massively in renewables we'd have more jobs, a path to much-cheaper-than oil energy, and we wouldn't be leaving toxic residue all over our water tables to make our children and grandchildren sick with any number of diseases.

As usual capitalism is taking the quick easy cash with large externalities because they aren't affected by them.

Sure, but you don't know what in the popular live event was the trigger of the move. At this level, it might be the color of the shirt of somebody walking on the stage, or the length in seconds of the video for some feature.

True, but I think of the French author who visited Québec in the 19th century long after the conquest and noted that the purity of the language was better than in much of France at the time. Or something like that, I can't find the reference right now. Was the author talking of the division north-south or of a greater diversity than you suggest? Hard to tell.

Why not rent a gas car for the one day a year you need that distance?

That's sort of where I'm ending up. Not w/ electric vehicles, but with bicycling. I bike commute year-round & use it for most of my travel, but for the rare case when I need to use my car for longer trips it's nice to have. However, paying the cost of upkeep & monthly insurance for something I use so infrequently is starting to make less sense.
Totally agree.

There are too many comments to read them all. We rely on flags, emails, browsing the threads, and a few tricks. But not really pattern matching on strings.

I once thought it would be fun to have a control DSL for HN, such that people could plant phrases in comments to signal things to either moderators or the software. Like most ideas of that sort, it never made it over the 'too complicated' speed bump.

From what I can tell, I-bankers put in their time and either rise to a cushier role within the bank or they get into something else.
Really? While I developed many sites in FrontPage, it was always looked down on by most people I knew. Many hosts outright refused to do full integration with it or run its extensions. The Generated HTML was far better than Word would generate, but it still was wonky unless you really knew what to avoid or were doing something incredibly simple.
He didn't say it was due to more efficient motors. Just compare the average MPG of the cars on US roads, running on subsidized gasoline, vs. those on European roads, running on heavily taxed gasoline.
That's simplified as an engine + exhaust system + gas tank + gas + transmission weighs hundreds of pounds more than an electric cars engine alone. Electric cars do weigh more, but the difference is not that massive.

You can actually drive further using gasoline to turn a gas turbine > electricity > electric cars battery than using that same fuel to operate a normal IC car. But, nobody does that because wind/solar/coal/nuclear are all far cheaper than gas.
Wow, thanks so much for sharing.

this must be one of the most important medical documents out there. I can't believe that after reading thousands of words in magazines on aging I never saw this!

That is such a positive message.
Because they're incredibly slow and you'd need a giant facility to accommodate what even a tiny 4 pump gas station currently does? I live in Seattle and there are tons of Teslas, but the nearest Supercharger is way out in the suburbs at a mall so you can do something with all your waiting time.
To emphasize the point, you end up needing to listen to other people instead of having other people listen to you. This is a big problem with discussions, the need to show your own worth easily overrides the value in having an actual discussion.
Not quite true; you can set a Content-Security-Policy header which whitelists scripts by their cryptographic hash. Assuming you know the exact contents of the script you want to run (which you should, if the only issue is that you're using a CDN), this should be fine. Just set the header yourself.

If you're letting third parties load arbitrary code on your site, that's harder to deal with. Then a compromise of them is likely to also be a compromise of you.
No, Brave says "no bees" by default. Secondly, you are hoisting upon ads a prejudicial bias by likening them, necessarily, to bees. Ads aren't the problem; the bees who hide behind them are. Either way, if you don't want them, you don't get them. It's an opt-in system.
Good, whatever the result will be, it will hopefully clarify what GDPR is all about.

> minimum wage is demonstrably insufficient to remove poverty

Minimum wage is insufficient yet to put all population into poverty.

If we increase minimum wage to, say, $100/hour, then 99% of population would be not able to find any jobs [that pay minimum wage or more] and that would, effectively, put 99% of population into poverty.

With current $7.25/hr minimum wage only few percent of population cannot find jobs because they do not have enough skills to get minimum wage job.
renting for a large landlord is complex.

Often landlords do this today for zoning reasons. There are places that are in theory for rent, but the landlord built just because the zoning required it - they knew very well it would never be rented so they cut corners and pretend to have it for rent while in practice it will never be occupied. They make up for the loss with the other properties that went up at the same time.

Assuming we eliminate that, landlords will still sometimes not rent at all. When you have a lot of properties you reach a point where raising rent and causing someone to leave because they cannot afford the rent nets more money than the smaller rent fully occupied. In addition the non-occupied property is available for rent should someone want it - since tenants move all the time you better always be in the process of getting more.

Last, over the course of the year 10 months at full rent is worth more than 12 months at .8 rent. So landlords are always trying to figure out if it is better to lower the rent and long term make less, or hold out for another month.
I have some familiarity with GUI builders. In general, those tend to be targeted at end-user consumer software like desktop applications, web services, and mobile apps. For game development and embedded systems, there is a strong preference for custom, bespoke stuff. It's especially bad in embedded systems which never had an open source "standard library" till Arduino. The ecosystem is highly fragmented compared to e.g. your average smartphone and PC. An industrial control panel UI using Material Design on a high end ARM core won't necessarily run on a health tracker powered by a STM32 or Atmel chip. For gaming, the story is a bit different. Lua is heavily used there but because every game is different, the GUI parts tend to be done with custom designs. The type of UI builders used in Game Development is rather different than the sort used in desktop software but there are plenty. If you are looking for a minimal resource consumption language with good cross-platform rapid UI development as a first-class priority, I recommend you check out the Red programming language.

For Lua, it's use as a mainstream application development language is still in it's early stages. The language follows the mantra of move fast and break things so backwards compatibility isn't a top priority and this can be an issue in evergreen codebases like web apps (unless you are willing to lock to a specific version). Most web servers (most famously OpenResty, a Lua NGINX hybrid) are still on 5.1 due to LuaJIT.
It would be tough to standardize this across different vehicle models, much less manufacturers. A Model S isn't going to use the same battery pack as an electric heavy-duty pickup truck. You could use lots of small battery packs and bigger vehicles get more of them, but that complicates the machinery used to swap them.

It also hinders innovation. You can't produce batteries with innovative new form factors because nobody will be able to change them out at standard swap stations.

Finally, consumers would object to it. If I buy a brand new Model S I don't want to go to the swap station and give away my shiny new battery for someone's degraded high-mileage one that has an unknown probability of exploding or catching fire.

>These are bad conversation topics if you don't have a similar background as most of the other people at the party.

That's a fairly narrow way of looking at it, and having a differing background actually benefits, instead of hurts. If there are differences, there is more for you to talk about so you can both explore each other's perspectives. If you're not interested in their perspective, don't ask the question. However, I'll warn you that if you are not interested in their perspective, they likely will not want to talk to you - why should they?

I think you're viewing FORD as a hack to get the communication going. That's a self defeating mentality.

>The point is to connect with people. Highlighting your differences is not the way to do this.

I and many others read this as "I want to connect with people. But I really don't want to understand why someone is different from me." I don't know if that's what you meant, but that's the signal people will get from you.
Maybe but I still think there's more than that. There's 400,000 reviews, so even if they're counting people that install it multiple times it's probably not a 10:1 ratio. Also I think "10 million+" on the play store means 10,000,000 - 50,000,000, and that doesn't count iOS and web users.
More like, "in exchange, we'll make more honey that you can buy from us too."

I gain nothing by watching ads. All I get is the creation of a need or desire that I didn't have before I watched the ad. Ads increase demand. Telling me that your business will fail unless I voluntarily inconvenience myself is not endearing me to your business.
"Purchase" doesn't really mean anything, because being property isn't a quality of an object that can be analyzed. What being property means is dictated by anyone with the means to enforce their preferred meaning.

The definition of owning a book doesn't include the right to read it out loud, for example. I may own a small piece of land in the city, but I'm told that I must build a single-family home or grassy field on it rather than a parking lot, skyscraper, or open sewer.

The problem is that property rights are defined by people with the most property in a way that expands their control over that property.

I wonder, though, what percentage of those people already have families. I was part of that demographic not that long ago. Had I needed to support a family then, I'd likely still be in that demographic. No doubt, many people will not be able to pull themselves up regardless.

As an aside, my wife and I are good friends with a couple who only recently let us know that the husband (single earner for the family) has been unemployed since last year, and that they were completely broke and on assistance programs. We were floored, we had no idea, but in hindsight it explained some behaviors we'd witnessed. Anyways, I mention it because they have two young kids, and are trying to have another one. I just can't fathom how, given what they're going through, that having another child is in any way a sensible decision.

It's a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in. Housing prices are astronomical, healthcare costs keep increasing, all while wages remain stagnant. I have great empathy for what people are going through. I'm always mindful that you never know what can happen, one major health issue and it can all go away.
my case, I have a 3. I have a trip between Georgia and Ohio soon. This is three to four stops each direction. however the key stop when visiting is that I cannot charge at my destination. At home I have the necessary plug in my garage.

so at my destination I need to account for distance back to the nearest super charger. Fortunately for me the nearest at one destination is fifty miles but another is little closer. That knocks off 100 usable miles right there. Since the recommendation is not to charge to full except on long legs of your trip that will leave me about 150 miles of local driving.

What I think is going to be fun is that we already look back at the beta generation of sub 100 mile range EVs as unacceptable and the crop of 100-150 mile range EVs will join them soon. Within 5 years or so I bet 200-250 mile range EVs will be seen as quaint at the upper price points but mainstream in the 20k price range.

However EV range increases face many hurdles. the first is range is weight. 310 mile range packs in the 3 are just shy of 1100 pounds. Charging them to full with current SC tech is still an hour. At home at 32amp it is 30 miles of range an hour and damn if that cord gets very warm. Homes can reasonably be expected to step up to 48amp but after that requires rethinking how we build homes. On the road it will require systems beyond the Tesla Supercharger system but that involves its own problems of heat.

For anyone who wants one car and does trips the require more than one charging cycle 250+ is a requirement. Also, part of range anxiety just is not the range but the time it takes to replenish that range

If you were going on a trip long enough that it requires a stop in an ICE vehicle you're going to have to stop in your electric vehicle. Maybe even stop twice.
This kind of thing is one of my worst pet peeves.
I have a natural tendency toward the type of logic you're pursuing here, likely because I am very technically minded and enjoy mental gymnastics. I may be incorrect, but it seems the same might be true for you.

For myself, I have found this type of reasoning to be an anti-pattern: simplifying the world to the point that I can wrap my head around it and (most importantly) arrive at a simple, clear-cut answer. I find that I can always make adjustments to my assumptions until I arrive at a world where the logic for my desired position holds firm.

I've personally gotten more out of incorporating the messy nuances of the world into my mental gymnastics (e.g. mega-corporation != small business != group of people) even though that almost always comes at the expense of a clear-cut answer. Just a thought; YMMV!
I don't like Inbox. So, rather than being annoyed it's going, I'm worried that Google will morph GMail into Inbox and force me to use its non-chronological features. I've already had it shoved down my throat with the web app - thankfully I could revert it.
"we are very far from the first hackers in the 60s. As I get older I find that it is harder and harder to talk about technology with an hacking perspective, where there are no walls or pre-cooked ideas, and the limit is the exploration."

This is cherry picking the most long-lasting supported iPhone and comparing it against the least supported Android phone. Google has guaranteed a minimum of 3 years support now.

Wow, this gets crazier and crazier. So either any content provider should be able to determine within one hour whether every comment is "terrorist" or not (with guidelines as clear as "information which is used to incite and glorify the commission of terrorist offences") and remove it, or, more likely, they'd auto-remove every comment that anybody marked as "terrorist" and let people complain about it later. Coupled with law enforcement interface (which would probably mean notifying the law enforcement about somebody posting "terrorist content" - that's only make sense?) this paints a very scary picture for the future of online free speech in EU.

This is old and nonsense. It highlights correctly the upcoming AI revolution but it misses entirely the point that Apple is innovating in this space - processing on the phone rather than within Google or Amazon verse.

In other words Apple is simultaneously building an on phone AI while at the same time retaining it's mission of privacy for the user.

I'll take the little hit on functionality in exchange for a massive upgrade in privacy.

So in the end Tim Cook is carrying on the customer and privacy centric DNA that Jobs imbued into Apple using innovation that other companies just dream about.
