It gets weirder, our public library was asked to destroy their copy of "Eyes on the Prize", which they had either bought or been donated (it was a commercial product at the time), by the Martin Luther King family because of a dispute over rights. That dispute was settled (with the injection of money apparently) and it became available again but the library has not (the last time I checked) re-acquired it for their collection.

This story that Apple does this too reminds of how insane IP law can be. Next up, when you travel to a different region (based on GPS) your iDevice stops being able to play media you've got on the local flash drive.
You can buy a refurbished iPhone 6 for a $180, so that would be $680 upfront cost.
Or they should push for MICROPAYMENT which would change the whole internet (for better or worse).
Not entirely. When they had a recent network outage, site down and such I lost my phone app. It could not talk to the car as it apparently goes to Tesla first. However I was able to unlock, start, and drive just fine. Autopilot, both the traffic aware cruise control and auto steer, worked without issue.

now I did not need to use a super charger but one would hope they don't need network access to work and would just keep a local database of cars that are allowed. would be damn silly to require a call to the mothership for each charging session.

>However, those backing these provisions say the arguments above are the result of scaremongering by big US tech companies, eager to keep control of the web’s biggest platforms.

This is the most hilarious quote in the article. The only thing this will do is entrench massive players like Google and Facebook who already have these systems in place. I honestly cannot comprehend how anyone could support this law while having any understanding of how the internet works. Do these politicians really not understand the awful implications of these filtering systems for free speech and fair use? Just look at the abuses that already happen with the existing systems and now we have to spread this across the entire web, absolutely insane.

A truly sad day for the future of a free internet in Europe.
Depends on how large the company's expected market is there. In most cases, the sheer size and wealth of the EU makes this also a bad idea.

Of course, there are hypothetical scenarios - though I can't think of a realistic one right now - where the EU division is only profitable with the economies of scale enabled by worldwide data-sharing. The assumption that anything and everything can be done profitable in a GDPR-compliant way is naive at best, deluded at worst, but not universally wrong.

Though between GDPR and the link tax proposal I can see news aggregators ceasing to exist entirely within the EU. Which seems very likely to do a great deal of harm to a lot of newspapers.
Between GPDR and the copyright law it seems like the Internet is effectively read-only for European citizens and companies, at least below a certain size.

While I'll concede your point about the time it takes to charge, I think most non-electric drivers would be surprised how many charging stations there are.

I don't have an electric car, so I was surprised when I recently discovered that one of the local gas station chains has an electric charging station in the rear of every one of its stations. That's probably 30-40 locations in this small city from just one outfit.

Another odd thing I see more and more of is mobile EV charging stations in strip mall parking lots. They're these long trailers topped with solar panels that show up at Target and supermarkets and stuff at the far end of the parking lot, where you can hook up your vehicle.

They seem to be itinerant, so I'm not really sure how that business model works.
Um, no. It's not cargo-culting. It's the correct way of estimating things. It has nothing to do with Fermi having done it. Some things actually have correct answers. 2 + 2 = 4, is not cargo culting.
Why we chose to bootstrap our business
The public is always reluctant to change established behavior and expectations... mass adoption requires revolutionary change that overcomes perceived functional and financial costs of switching, or evolutionary change with no perceived cost.

So EV will see mass adoption as soon as people can top up at a "charge station" in under 3 minutes and get 200+ mile range - because that's what people expect from "a car". The public doesn't care about the evolution of implementation details like gas vs electric.

The beautiful part is that once home charging is no longer required, people will be happy to charge at home! We are an adorably irrational species.

Alternatively, there is a revolutionary path: autonomous vehicles. If AI-EV offered completely hands-off transportation, no driving or maintenance required, people would happily ignore any perceived transition costs. However, this path seems unlikely in the near future.

"Land by its nature is scarce. A site in Mayfair cannot be reproduced like a pair of shoes. The monopoly rent it commands plays no productive role. It acts as a private tax on the productive economy. The question has always been what can be done about it." [1]

I posted that quote because it's the reference I found most speedily to the idea that high land prices impose private (i.e. paid into the private sector) taxation, rather than public. You didn't make the distinction between public vs private taxation in your comment and I thought it should be made.

Public taxation is also involved of course, e.g. when governments need to bail out the banking system; Help to Buy in the UK; etc.

Focus on getting your body used to expending energy without recent consumption. Practice intermittent fasting until you can go easily 14+ hours without food and still have energy. Once you force your body to reach that point you'll find that there's no problem working out on an empty stomach.

> decisions over what content to algorithmically uplift or suppress can involve agonizing questions of interpretation, intent, and cultural context.

Or you know, why not bring back chronological feeds... I'm convinced part of the polarisation in previous years can be put down to "algorithms" boosting particular posts.
I mean, Huawei was technically correct when they announced it was the first. However, it's now clear that the A12 Bionic will be the first shipping 7nm SoC, and I think it's fair for Apple to claim it's the first 7nm SoC in a smartphone.
Not in this case. The only reason Tesla is known is solely because of engineering and design.

Respectfully, you're not at all correct. Brave is aiming to cut out the tracking entirely. No user tracking. That's our default, out of the box behavior.

Brave Ads, which is an optional component, also will not track the user. Local machine-learning will decide what willing users are interested in, and whether or not to show them particular ads.

The Brave Ads system is antithetical to the current form of digital advertising. Rather than radiating personal information to innumerable third parties, you secure your data on your device, and let your device privately and securely determine what you would like, or would not like, to see.

Also, abundant cheap energy is wildly important to the 99%. I can't believe that even needs to be pointed out. Thats why we deal with the pollution externalities the way we do.

Its a bridge from dirtiest energy (coal), hopefully to better things, but an important bridge it has been. The real mistake was letting nuclear go under if we cared about pollution and carbon.

I wouldn't use a power saw without a handguard, either. But I'm not gonna tell Linus the master carpenter that he can't use his antiquated power saw. Sure, he only has eight fingertips, but he also built the tower we're all standing on right now and continues working on it to this day, so if he's really doing something wrong, the only way to prove it is for someone to get a newfangled power saw, with handguards, and build their own tower. And maybe, someday, someone will do that, and we will look back on the days of poor old Linus and his seven fingertips and wonder.

Without abandoning piston engines entirely and going to turbines or something, modern auto engines are approaching maximum practical thermal efficiency for the conditions under which they must operate (being primarily horsepower-oriented rather than torque-oriented). You can get maybe 50% better if you're powering an oil tanker rather than a car, but you're not powering an oil tanker, but rather something that has to accelerate and decelerate and idle in unpredictable ways.

Hybrid was the last big improvement. Barring a radical new technology (and variable valve timing ain't radical), we might squeeze, what, 10% better thermal performance out? Get 40mpg rather than 37? Big deal.

And really, this is all driven by energy costs in the end. We're already hitting a point where commodity solar/wind electricity is cheaper than commodity coal, and much cheaper than commodity gasoline. This creates a tremendous market incentive for purely electric vehicles. And that tech has much more room for improvement than any gas engine - batteries will keep getting cheaper and more efficient for some time to come.

When my options are a $25,000 Ford or a $90,000 Tesla, an electric car seems like a dream. But when it turns into a $25,000 Ford or a $30,000 all-electric car (maybe from Ford!)... TCO starts becoming a very attractive argument, on top of the feel-good factor.
Any sort of legislation is problematic if the people responsible for legislating do not understand that which is being legislated.
Besides customer satisfaction it is about maximizing customer lifetime per device sold. Sell a device that lasts 2-3 years and maybe you have a repeat customer. Sell a device that lasts 4-5 years you have a happy initial customer who will repeat buy. More importantly you have someone who got a phone passed down/bought used who is recruited into the Apple ecosystem and may spend on services.

Article 13 will affect the entire Internet, not just people in Europe. Most people on the Internet use large, multinational platforms. Those platforms will set rules according to the lowest common denominator, because it's the easiest to implement.

This means that people all over the world are going to have a much more difficult time with any user-generated content. That's true even for user-created content, even if there is no other copyright holder involved (look at how badly Content ID has played out).
same was true about desks in the iMac days, I was shocked that even crippled iMacs could run the latest OS X years after the fact without being unusable (slow but usable).
Who can say whether it was about size or price from Apple's perspective except Apple?

For me and a lot of the others in this thread, it was about size. I'm sure very few people complained about the price, but personally I would have welcomed a higher price if it meant better technology (3D touch, wireless charging for example).

Tesla is:

- Missing weekly production targets (currently at ~15%)

- Burning through cash reserves (-34% YTD)

- Increasing liabilities (+20% YTD)

This is all while there are Model 3 quality issues, and refusing a cash injection from VW. The solarcity acquisition was questionable as well, considering Musk founded solarcity, and now there is a lawsuit by Tesla investors against him.

Some investors are still cutting the CEO slack because of his previous success with Paypal, but automobile manufacturing is a different beast.
Voice. I've been using Voice for probably 10 years now. Most of the functionality has been subsumed by Hangouts, but it's still there and they even updated it within the last year.
A practical reality that dawned on me one day has changed my perspective on this situation a bit: it's the fact that I no longer have my VHS or cassette tapes. I got rid of them at some point. So the idea that purchases of physical media result in me having a thing forever, while digital purchases are inherently temporary at the behest of companies like Apple, Google, or Amazon, doesn't really hold up to what I (and many others) actually experience. Because my physical purchases are also, eventually, temporary.

Will these companies do something, or go bankrupt, such that one day I no longer have access to my "purchases?" Maybe? Probably? Who knows. And if they do, I hope laws or class action lawsuits step in to mitigate the issue... But it ultimately feels a bit Chicken-Little-ish to me to suggest this is some kind of disaster. We've all re-bought our favorite books/movies/shows/music in various formats as time goes on. Our digital purchases will be no different.

What version of Android is it running? You probably mean the apps from the Play Store keep getting upgrades. I know for a fact that Samsung tablets from 2013 are not getting new Android updates — haven’t got them in a long time. I know this because I have one in my family. IIRC, the last time it was upgraded was back in 2015 (or maybe 2014, not sure).
Oh cool! I didn't realize that design was widely used, although it makes sense. If it can cool water for a nuclear plant then no reason it can't cool water for anything else!
Prototyping using TTL chips to validate the logic design was still common throughout the 1970s. 100 TTL chips is pretty small.

The Motorola 68000 team published several papers that are still available through IEEE that describe the design process. They built a prototype from TTL chips which allowed them to rapidly iterate the microcode, nanocode, and programmed logic arrays without having to wait for samples to come back from manufacturing.
id suggest that there is no inherent need for mathematical models at all, unless there was a specific desire in the first place to produce said models for some reason. while certainly one would hope that formal models and analysis is performed in the pursuit of some noble/practical end, sometimes it's just fun to research things for the sake of it, because there's always the possibility that in researching one concept, you get exposed to an expanding universe of other concepts that depend on that original one which you never would have considered without the context of the research being performed.

that being said, i think having a formalized way of speaking about the limits of social discourse could be highly beneficial in several different contexts, such as providing effective group therapy, the representation of social interaction in film/literature/etc, and beyond that it can also be used to reason better about the nature of that squishy device that evolved to the point of being able to even comprehend the idea of "conversations" in general, no less the concept of having multiple of them simultaneously
