The interesting thing about electricity is that it's a great decoupling interface to the power source: you can change the power source and basically leave the remainder of the device/infrastructure as is (not that it's not challenging per se to move say from coal to nuclear to renewable, but hey, if TGV were LNG-based we'd be in a tough bind to move away from it)

>>I see it daily:if your manager is programming, he’s not managing.

Management does not have to be an “active” job.

Great managers find out what obstacles are standing in the way of their team members, then figure out how to remove those obstacles. How much time this takes greatly depends on the company.

IMO a senior dev is different than a manager. Senior devs mentor junior devs; that is where their team productivity multiplier comes from.

Flathub has the free version https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.visualstudio.code.oss and the non-free one https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.visualstudio.code

Tangentially, this is one of my gripes with stuff like flathub/snapstore since they are hybrid stores of both free and non-free software. In the traditional model, you can trust your debian/fedora maintainers to have strict standards for anything that gets to the base system. Now, with more and more distros enabling snap/flatpak by default, it dilutes that guarantee. Perhaps snap/flatpak ought to adopt a granular free/non-free distinction like repos.

I wouldn't be surprised if these problems proved intractable enough that the solution will be adding electronic guides to the roads themselves.

Things like burying a wire that can be followed, embedding RFID devices in the pavement (along with an online database that gives their precise location and any updates on road conditions), etc.

It would be conceptually similar to all the ground based systems that guide aircraft.

Of course, these would be deployed only on high value roads like freeways first, and you could at least let the autodrive work on the freeways, and do the last mile yourself.

I do it every winter going down my driveway. Otherwise my tires would slide instead of roll; I'd lose directional control; my car from just some bump in the driveway could turn sideways; and I could roll upside down, over and over, the rest of the way down the driveway.

And I'm in two wheel drive and not 4 wheel drive because the extra torque it takes to turn the machinery for 4 wheel drive is too much for the poor traction.

I stop at the top of the driveway, make sure I'm in 2 wheel drive, hold the transmission selector so that I can get into neutral quickly and easily, just slightly get the car rolling, go for neutral, mostly just let the car roll down at most just touching the brakes very lightly or not at all, let the car get to the level, bottom of the driveway and a start on the back yard, and then stop the car, go into reverse, backup a little, and then take a left turn into the garage.

Losing directional control and having the car turn sideways and roll over is a big risk. The driveway is not very long, but it's steep.
ionno... did people actually throw out their computers more often before?

This actually looks like the start of the distanglement between the US economy and the Chinese economy. What will likely happens next (my best guess) is

1.) 40-60 percent of a company’s supply chain moves out of China

2.) China restricting the movement of capital/equipments out of China (similar to what happened with Korean companies last year)

3.) China growing homebrew competitors to the foreign companies leaving, part of the ‘made in 2025 in China’ strategy, via state enterprises or state spendings in startups. China will also make US companies’ operation in China very hard, either with license restrictions, or increased local ownership.

4.) China will disincentivize Chinese consumers from purchasing US (or foreign) products. Via propaganda, state media, others. This would be hard, as Chinese consumers prefer higher quality, higher brand value, and higher perceived value products.

5.) China will have to target US farmers with tariffs, as there isn’t much US imports to tax otherwise. Plus, there is the face saving situation.

6.) US will increase the tariff coverage to all Chinese imports, either triggered by tariffs on US farmers, or any other targets.

7.) China local governments will make a mistake of seizing a US owned corporate asset, or prevent a factory from shutting down by its owners. This will escalate the urgency for US companies to move out of China.

8.) 70-100% of company’s supply line will be out of China

9.) Eventually, most direct trades between both countries shrink. Down to a significant level where it starts to drop gdp for both countries (China way more than US)

10.) China will have no choice but to embrace its lost decade, ala Japan. It will tighten controls on its citizens. It will try to contain high inflation and high unemploment rate. It will try to unwind its debt for the next 10-20 years.
> You just need rails to be able to quickly attach/detach a car

A single attaching maneuver takes 5-10 minutes (from personal experience). Add to that the detaching and driving the carriage off the rail to free it up, and you are quickly at 15-20 minutes, which is unfeasible for most long-distance train rides. Might work with short distances where you already have such a long pause planed in at the ends, but otherwise not so much. It also puts more strain/traffic on the track switch infrastructure at stations, which is already a bottleneck AFAIK.
+1

When I did mine recently, I dropped the entire K-frame, box and engine on to the floor in around 45-60minutes, had the head off in another 10 minutes, surfaced both the flywheel and head's mating surfaces within the next 30 minutes (hey-ho flappy disk on the grinder! It's just an EG Civic with a d15b) and had the whole car assembled in an hour. The fact that I have access to a two post hoist cut my time down.

Now compared with the fact that I have destroyed two phones attempting to separate the adhesive rubbish that holds everything together inside them, I actually think changing the clutch on an EG is probably easier for the "average" user than changing a modern phone battery. A decent set of ratcheting spanners, a torque wrench and a Haynes manual is all you need, and you're not going to accidentally break anything.

It should also be noted that almost all cars "back in the day" (i.e. the 30's, 40's, etc) noted in their own user manuals how to check ring gaps etc with the expectations that owners would rebuild their own cars. How far we've come.
Third rail is incompatible to the existing system in the area, not suitable for high voltages and creates issues at railroad crossings. Moreover, even if unused sections are switched off, there will be some minimum section size, which means there will still be a risk.

I had a friend like you once. On seeing someone just for a brief moment, she could comment for hours, saying things like "This person will never be rich", "Oh, she definitely has bad relations with her husband", "Obviously he's the kind of person that will fail every project". It turned out that most of her predictions that I could verify turned out false. She got some gut feelings and choose to follow that, but the data sample at her disposal was too small and she jumped to the conclusions way too fast.

> You can't ignore marketing and branding.

Well, of course you can. Look at Craiglist[1]:

> In 2015, the AIM Group, which has calculated Craigslist revenue since 2007, estimated that the company pulled in sales of about $396 million. Its 2016 estimate of $694 million—an increase of 75% over the prior year—came down to the fact that Craigslist bumped job posting fees in certain cities and instituted them for the first time in others.

I am claiming, that marketing and branding should not determine the price of the product, not that it should not be used to communicate the real value of it.

> Leaving kids out in the cold is the issue.

I live in Norway and beg to differ. We see temperatures down to -40 C in winter, and the kids love it. We don't have "snow days", it's literally not a thing here.

All you need is proper clothing, some seal fat for rubbing on your face, and cold weather experience among the adults (checking the kids faces for warning signs of frostbite, etc.).

95% of Norwegian babies and toddlers sleep outside in their prams (in sleeping bags) unless the temperature goes below -20 C. Then they come inside for sleeping, but will still be outside playing.

My solution for that: Set all servers to UTC and use smearing NTP servers. UTC doesn't have summertime, so the clock doesn't suddenly change and the smearing NTP will prevent leap seconds from doing the same.

Just a side note while I was reminiscing about the pain of being an ISP. Here's a couple photos of the tower for this project. I got frustrated with satellite internet, and bought a 140' tower from the scrap yard before it was chopped up for about $2k. Got a good deal on some Tranzeo 5.8ghz equipment from a cable company and the learning experience commenced. I think I was 23 in that photo.

We're also using an EV cert for pinning in our native apps (in other words, we're not pinning a public key or a CA, but the fact that the certificate is an EV cert), on the theory that this is less risky operationally than pinning any specific details of an actual certificate. We can get a new certificate from a bunch of CAs, but it's tricky for an attacker to get one for our domain name. (no need to reply to this with stripe.ian.sh)

However, now that EV certs are clearly going the way of the dodo, the risks associated with them are likely to increase. CAs are going to be exiting the EV business (and/or going out of business themselves). The dwindling market is also likely to increase the price of an EV cert, rather than decrease it, as remaining purchasers will have a specific need to use an EV cert.

It might be time to re-evaluate.
Pls see above.
I don’t understand the reasoning behind getting rid of DST. Why do people find it easier to change office and school times, than to change sleeping times?

Why not sleep from 11-7 in winter, and 10-6 in summer. If you do this, there’s no sleep impact due to DST.

If you can’t make this adjustment, changing office hours will also be impossible.

When companies get large enough, they need to show that they are outperforming the market at large for their shareholders. If the company is only making a 1% return on its product, why not take that money and put it in the stock market instead of employee salaries and asset acquisition? Even startups deal with this issue - why should a VC fund take an enormous risk on your company when they can put it in the stock market and earn middling return that's still much better than a complete loss?

The main difference is that as a startup, you the CEO know everybody in your startup, you know your sole customers, you know the product intimately. This allows you to focus on the product and "secret sauce" that differentiates your company as an investment from the rest of the market. But when you're a CEO of a large public company, you have too many employees to count, too many products to count, and too many customers to count. Financial instruments become a necessary abstraction to help deal with all that complexity.
Timezone updates happen on almost a monthly basis, your computer has a file called the Timezone database which is maintained by a few volunteers.

Does it need to?
My point is clear if just consider a little of how snow tires work: The main point is the big bumps in the tread. These big bumps permit spinning drive wheels to dig down in the snow to find some traction, maybe the hard surface below. This digging down has the bumps grab a lot of snow and throw it back and out of the way and let the tires get down, through the snow into some traction. Ordinary tires just spin and throw far too little snow. Works great.

But in stopping, there is no such "spinning" or "digging". Instead, all the snow tires can do is roll or slide.

So, snow tires help a lot in going but not much in stopping.

Typically get into winter car wrecks from not stopping, not from not going.

So, once snow tires have you going, be darned careful about stopping -- the risk is not stopping, and snow tires aren't much help because the lugs don't get a chance to dig and throw snow.

There are studies which say that people can only focus on work six hours a day. Others say you need time to relax to become better concentrated at work.

Well, if you do mass-produced electronics, unit cost is important. And designs based on the Orange Pi Zero are far more expensive than designs based on the ESP32-WROVER.
