I grab the appropriate card of the two (Blink and ChargePoint) in the console, tap it, sorted.

But you don't have the super charger network which might be a deal breaker.

In seven years of Nissan Leaf ownership, I’d bet i could count the number of times I’ve used a public charger on both hands. Electric’s aren’t like ICE where you’re always looking for a place to fill up. You fill up at home, like civilized people do. Super charger is nice, but I personally wouldn’t factor it in.

> Why not let the employees decide if the job is worth taking?

That's the way it should work. And in a functioning market, employees don't make these decisions alone against large corporations, they make those decisoins in large groups like voters or in a union. Thinking that each employer is free to offer and each employee is free to value whether its worth it makes for some kind of "free market" balance for labor is pretty naïve when it comes to individuals vs large corporations.

We wouldn't allow employers to bargain on risk and "letting the employee decide whether the risk is worth taking", I don't see any difference with wages.

For climate change we're not even close to making enough progress. Global CO2 emissions are expected to continue rising for the foreseeable future, so we're not even getting the second derivative right. The chances are close to zero that we'll manage to limit warming to two degrees and imho it's likely that we'll set off some feedback loops (melting permafrost, methane clathrates, albedo changes at the poles, etc.) that will lead to catastrophic warming in the next century.
Yeah, there's a clear shift coming in the automotive industry. The auto makers who don't have plans for electrification right now are in big trouble.

Thankfully, the VW group will actually be okay - they've tasked Porsche's engineers with electrification of all the companies owned by the group.

The Taycan will be built on the J1 platform (Porsche controlled/built). Porsche is developing 3 different packages for other car makers: the SPE (Sport platform electric) for Lamborghini, and then they’re developing a PPE (Premium Platform Electric) for Audi and Mercedes, and finally, they’ll have the MEB (modular electrification box) which is a kit for anyone else who wants electric drivetrains (VW, others)

Or it's the latency chasm between RAM and disk. A cursory googling to refresh my own memory, SSD is at least 100x slower than peeking at RAM and possibly much more, depending on who's numbers you trust.

It seems at least plausible to save time by compressing pages in memory rather than going to disk. Certainly for low end or consumer systems not blessed with gobs of RAM.
> How does this compare to other cities?

This is the BS part of the article. The author shouldn't be comparing to other US cities, but to other large cities in the world that don't have a housing crisis. His argument is picking a sick person, and comparing to other sick people for differences, instead of comparing to other healthy people.

Almost all the cities he mentions have housing crisis, but he was either too ignorant or too dishonest to realize that.

Tokyo, no available land, builds an entire new San Francisco every 2.5 years for the past 20 years.

The article is incompetence at best, but most likely, given the "depth" of the analysis, intellectual dishonesty.
I've experience with MediaWiki, and it was not very popular. The markup language is one of the worst I've ever seen. I would prefer good, old HTML instead. But, anyway, non-technical users don't like it.
"Resident" is correct, and I am not :).

Honestly, I think I've always referred to it as Terminate and Stay Ready; probably something I read in one of those old books that used to adorn the bookshelf of my parent's office.

Writing it brought back a lot of memories, as well - glad someone enjoyed it! It's amazing to think that we used to write programs in ways other than "I don't know how to do this" (performs google search) "I know how to do this now", but rather had to pour through books, forums (on dial-up BBSes and what qualified as equivalents in the early Internet days) and acquiring that little nugget of knowledge felt like it had so much more value, even though the reality is that the value was the same, it just took a lot more effort.

If you're worried about people being in bad situations, why do you think laws that would prevent them from improving their situation is a good idea ?

Sounds to me like this is 100% unnecessary and only happens because cops/SWAT think it sounds more fun to suit up & kick in some doors at 4:00 AM than to do proper boring surveillance and wait outside in the daylight.
I agree with the general thesis that many different forms of censorship occur in the West. I agree that the Left tends to use political correctness as it’s means to make people fear being called a bigot. However no one illegally won an election from outside sources. The Russians paid about 100k in ads on Facebook. Doris spent millions. We have more to fear from internal threats than from external.

China is not copying us. Corruption is universal. It’s a question of degrees. The US has less corruption and more access to correct what does exist than the Chinese. What they learned from us, if anything, is how technology can control things. Given that they’ve had advanced tech on the past and did similar things to suppress inconvenient truth, I’d say they are pretty much doing what they’ve always done back to the days of the emperor.
The very definition of second and third world were created and based off of the cold war.

1st world = USA/Western Europe + allies
2nd world = USSR/China + allies
3rd world = Everyone else.

By definition Russia started as a 2nd world country.

Now your point about Russia not being on the level of western Europe pre-1917, is a very good point. They were year behind in industrialising (for a variety of reasons, including not being capitalist and competitive).

However other countries have tried, such as Eastern Germany. Eastern Germany and Western Germany, whilst not identical (with Western being a bit richer) were not "third world hell holes" except straight after WW2. They then diverged as the capitalist west grew and improved, and the east stagnated under a terrible regime.

Other examples could include North and South Korea, Mao-China, and Deng xiaoping- China.

Socialism does not work. It does not work in the real world.
I believe people working in Amazons warehouses ended up in a situation they did not want to end up in the first place.

Adam Smith (writer of The Wealth of Nations, you might have heard of it) pointed out that forcing individuals to perform mundane and repetitious tasks would lead to an ignorant, dissatisfied work force. For this reason he advanced the revolutionary belief that governments had an obligation to provide education to workers.

I think that when you get payed $7.25 an hour you have to work so many hours that there's no way you have spare time to educate yourself to get out of that situation.

Amazon is an example of capitalism gone a tad bit too far. The market is only self correcting to a certain point.

It's great that Amazon (not only Bezos, but all the stakeholders that agreed with this step) is acknowledging that people deserve a decent pay.

I'm genuinely curious; why is cloud storage considered to be a solution here?

When I put my 'megalomania cap' on, one of the first things I do is figure that people will use the cloud, which actually makes me happy. I won't have to worry about notifications, in-person confrontations and/or low-level employee error.

Same for people opting to ship their devices abroad via FedEx and the like to avoid the hassle of wiping and/or being searched.

As far as I can tell (from reading history and living), companies, no matter how beneficent they claim to be, acquiesce to "gov't" demands because the penalty of not doing so is death. Recent case in point, Google in the PRC.

But again, I fully admit that I may be wrong here. So, if I am, I hope someone will take the time to explain why. Thanks.

He copied, refined, and simplified, with a rare sense of taste that was often missing in the original projects. (E.g. Xerox Star vs Mac. The Star was a much better computer, the Mac was a much better consumer product.)

He was also an abusive narcissist. The narcissistic drive to be visibly superior to other people was a core motivation for him.

Someone less driven - or possibly damaged - wouldn't have been nearly as passionate about the end result.

It's an open question if it's possible to do insanely great work without any dysfunction at all. Narcissistic abuse and management-as-ego-boost is such a common thing in US (and US influenced) business culture that it's almost impossible to imagine a corporate culture with no trace of it.

I have a suspicion that a more easy-going culture would be better in some ways, especially with humane long-term strategy, but might lack some colour.

It would be good to find out one day if the trade-off is acceptable. (It might well be, depending on your strategy horizon.)
Yes. And you're lucky if you see any Refuse button. Most all what I see the choices are to Agree completely to all terms, or "do not use this site".
Wow, does the top comment always have to be cynical? This is exactly what everyone wanted Amazon to do. Maybe it's time to suck it up and give praise where praise is due?

There are also benefits to paying more salary than your competitors (no hiring shortages, best employees, low turnover, etc), so I'm not going to blindly accept that it's now in Amazon's interest to drag the rest of the industry along with them.

But even if I did, there's absolutely no guarantee that this kind of lobbying would ever work. And if it did, it could be decades from now, $0.50, or both. In the meantime, Amazon has already put their money where their lobby is.
People - not the ones here on HN - have no clue what they 'give' away. They also have no clue how often small companies, indie game devs etc make a living by selling said information that was 'given' to them.

These data aggregators can build profiles on people by buying data from as many sources as possible.

How is the average user supposed to know this happens on the background when they load www.nytimes.com? How are they supposed to know that those flashy banners contain entire programs designed to track them?

How should the average user now that the ad banners on acb.com are the same as on xyz.com?

How should the average user know that a FB button on every website also tracks you. As does G+ button, as does Twiter etc...

How are regular users supposed to know how much data they produce online.

Honestly it even scares me to see how many JS is loaded on average websites. Just for tracking, just for profile building.

This isn't given. It's taken.
Yes, but that's only if you discount that whether the employer or employee pays for it as a fungible difference.

If it wasn't setup as the employer paying for 1/2 of it, do you not think that most workers would want to be paid 7.5% more to pay it?

What about people who had absolutely no issue with the tracking and "privacy" concerns? I don't care if advertisers target me. If I do care, I use incognito sessions. I'm happy with all the free services I get on the internet and I don't mind giving them a bit of information about myself especially since I've literally never clicked on an ad, ever, so their efforts aren't even effective.

I think there's a small minority of people who care about this stuff, they just had loud voices and the ability to push global legislation through to make everyone else's life more difficult.
I'm not sure what you disagree with, since it seems to fit with that I'm saying. Elon doesn't focus on the work, he focuses on the results. The effort he puts in is just what's necessary to meet those ambitious goals.

From the original article:

"A government directive sent to journalists in China on Friday named six economic topics to be “managed,” according to a copy of the order that was reviewed by The New York Times."

From everything I've read, I would be extremely surprised if journalists are the only ones who receive implicit or explicit "suggestions" on what is acceptable to say, and what is not.

http://www.baldingsworld.com/2018/07/17/balding-out/ (It's an excellent article overall.)

I am leaving China. After nine years working for the HSBC Business School of Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School as a professor teaching international trade, negotiations, and ethics, I am leaving China. In early November 2017, the HSBC Business School informed me they would not renew my contract. In March 2018 they informed me they wished to sever all ties by April 1, 2018.

One of my biggest fears living in China has always been that I would be detained. Though I happily pointed out the absurdity of the rapidly encroaching authoritarianism, a fact which continues to elude so many experts not living in China, I tried to make sure I knew where the line was and did not cross it. There is a profound sense of relief to be leaving safely knowing others, Chinese or foreigners, who have had significantly greater difficulties than myself. There are many cases which resulted in significantly more problems for them. I know I am blessed to make it out.

I'd also be surprised if China is the only country where messaging "suggestions" are made by the government, although the degree and exactly how it is done is far more opaque some places than others. Of course it may be pure confirmation bias, but I've detected a distinct change in the nature of MSM China articles in the last 2 months or so in the US, as well as a change in public sentiment in social media and forums.

Bezos felt the Burn!

I would still support Bernie's bill. Walmart pays the least of any major retailer. The market power they push onto communities undermines much of the social fabric of America. Small retailers really can't compete with Walmart and a lot of small business owners would feel guilty asking their employees to go on welfare.

Charging Walmart for employees who apply to welfare would likely lead to pay increases and more small business competition.

Walmart struggles to retain people so I honestly doubt they would fire them for going on welfare they would be billed for (regardless if it legal or not).
Sure but it still means something to the rest of the community, which is important. My parents are professors, and I can assure you that there is at the least a psychological difference.

This is ignorant and downplays the companies that have existed for decades.

Tesla isnt profitable, the rest of the auto companies are profitable.

These auto companies have already developed electric vehicles(see Bolt and Leaf) but demand doesnt cause them to produce Tesla amounts of electric vehicles. If they saw an increase in demand, they will use their billion dollar infrastructure to continue to produce vehicles.

To think there is any 'struggling to keep up' with Tesla for automotive is an ignorance of the automotive industry. Tesla is trying to survive, the established players are developing their own new technology.
Yes, I think that would be the most useful piece of advice (and probably something that inexperienced employees right out of college, tend to be particularly bad at).

> If you can't pay a basic living wage

Stop right there. What about people who don't need a basic living wage, like students who still live with their parents? Why should they be pushed out of the market?

I worked in high school, starting when I was 16. It was minimum wage. Without that job I wouldn't have been able to afford a car (necessary where I lived), travel to Greece and Italy, and have my own spending money. I also gained a lot of real world experience.

Employers should pay what the position is worth. Why should people like you have the right to tell people like me that we can't willingly work?
We're not deciding who gets to live here, we're deciding what gets to be built here. It's a fairly common idea in most cities.
