Again, just not true.

> Strikes have been used to resolve labor disputes, but if your goal is long term and meanful improvement to working conditions and remuneration, then the only times unions have ever achieved that is by restricting access to the profession.

Collective bargaining is how unions achieve long term and meaningful improvement to working conditions and renumeration.

> Salaries are determined by market forces, political influence will never be able to exert much pressure on the equilibrium.

This is just demonstrably untrue -- we've been in a bull market for almost a decade. Worker pay -- in contrast to company profits -- hasn't even kept up with inflation. Something is missing.

> The only time unions have truly succeeded in this is by limiting labor supply over the long term.

“High efficiency” water heaters and furnaces use similar principles to this (and the glazed tile oven mentioned). A winding network of passageways to get maximum contact with the flue glasses and thus extract as much heat as possible.

By contrast a traditional straight chimney wastes a lot of heat by dumping it outside.

What is startup time? People get into their car, start the engine, buckle their seat belt, put the car in gear and go - from the time the engine is running until the car is moving is < 5 seconds. In some cases the alternator is setup to not start charging for 1 minute (so the engine doesn't see as much load until it has warmed a little).

Waymo gets 5 seconds to start moving from the time someone gets in the seat - this includes time to programs the route (you have don't need the full destination, until you get out of the garage). Most computers need longer than this to start. However if you have good batteries you can cheat - go to warm shutdown and keep memory active even when the car is off for example.

They are good at building cars, but I would argue they are not good at building tech. Self driving is a technology issue. If the tech superstars at Waymo/Apple/whoever aren't even close to solving it, why would the software people at GM/Honda be?
As the parent points out; it's not bad for an intern's salary.
But 12V alternators are less efficient than the 48-Volt starter/generators used in modern "mild hybrids". Volvo, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz and PSA plan on introducing these in every new model moving forward, so that doesn't seem like much of an ask from Waymo.

It's a weirdly common 'critique' of Bellingcat and as far as I can tell, has absolutely no basis in reality. They mostly target Ukraine/Russia/Syria/Iraq, etc so I get the suspicion but they're very public around sources and methods and since they're an open-source intel group, anyone can verify everything they've found. Is it only "western intelligence" that can be critical of Assad and Putin?
I would personally find it distasteful if someone did something shady trying to further my interests and find out about it in the news, which is why I find it worse.
> I hope they realize that there is an alternator generating power

The power output of an alternator is a function of the engine RPM, so it can't be relied on to provide consistent power, even when the engine isn't running, as needed by autonomous driving systems. You need a sufficiently specced battery (capacity, power output,etc) in between the ultimate power source (alternator, grid) and the autonomous system, something that EVs and PHEVs provide by default.

Most electrical functions in a car (radio, windows, fans) are designed to operate within the power output of the battery, not the maximum output of the alternator.

The functions that can't fit within that capacity (i.e A/C compressor) are mechanically coupled to the engine output, and therefore shut off when the engine shuts off.

Works great for me so far. Its QT based and uses plain Markdown files. Notes are organized in notebooks with (sub-)folders. Some of the features on top of this are tagging, full text search, reader-mode, vim key-bindings, attachments, MathJax, PlantUML, and Mermaid.js support.
Part of me wonders if it's possible that there's just something about the nature of the internet that induces instability in otherwise-ordinary people. I think about photosensitive epilepsy and how it was a more-or-less benign feature of the human brain until technological progress caused flashing lights to be absolutely everywhere. I worry that I can't discount the possibility that some heretofore latent feature of human thinking is incompatible (in a physiological sense, not just a psychological sense) with being perpetually plugged into the internet. I know enough people that have gone from "totally outwardly normal" to "detached-from-reality, Hillary Clinton is a lizard person" (this isn't an exaggeration, yes, people I know in real life appear to sincerely think this) and I'm struggling to think of what else could contribute to such seeming mass psychosis. It's more than just propaganda, it's people deliberately abandoning critical thinking.

I went paperless, this year, and after trying 3 or 4 different note apps, I settled on Notability on an iPad Pro with Apple Pencil. That I can run the app on my laptop (and phone), synchronized through iCloud makes this incredibly more useful than pen and paper.

I can tell when technology will work for me when I can quickly adopt it and feel no desire to go back to what I did before. That happened with ereaders for me when they came to the phone (I can read anywhere, anytime and for however long I have, I love it) and it has happened with this, as well.

How People Judge Good from Bad
Diverse Forests Capture More Carbon
Yes, AWS rolls its own hardware in some cases.
It's a show about confronting your past, accepting loss, and growing past your old self.

I'm fascinated by the lukewarm response this show's received. It feels so refreshing to have a show a) tell you what it's going to do and then b) do it. It spends the first three episodes establishing the characters and the conceit, and then follows through on everything a narrative is supposed to follow through on.

Every major character has a "core trauma" that they must confront and move past. They ingest pills which put them into dreamlike states where they can fuse their trauma with mythological encounters, which lets them face their problems head on in a more abstract sense. Just about to the letter how Joseph Campbell explained the purpose of myths and legends.

Even the non-dreaming characters face larger-than-life scenarios they must overcome in order to overcome their own core problems. Without spoiling it, Dr. Mantleray (Justin Theroux) has a hilarious and way over the top problem that he confronts in an equally ridiculous manner.

Which reminds me of another facet of this show: it's not afraid to let you (or make you) laugh. Unlike Bojack's Flip McVicker, who says before his premier, "This show contains no intentional humor."

It's a tonic for people tired of Prestige TV. The "it gets good" syndrome, where we have to wait a whole season for any kind of "payoff" to hours of wheel-spinning, setup, and dissolution. I'm tired of mysterious characters doing weird things and waiting eight episodes to find out why. Plot is not a puzzle. I want to know the characters, to care about them, to know in clear terms what they want and watch them struggle to achieve that. Which, I think, Maniac delivers on.
I think this is a poor yardstick that leads to people believing total falsehoods. Show me facts, not a morality play.
Show HN: Automate Any USSD Service on Android
It's as hard to imagine as the NSA's surveillance systems.

I.e., it's not.

The lesson of the Snowden leaks is clearly this: if it can be imagined, and it can be useful, and they have the budget, and it's remotely doable, then it's been done.

China almost certainly did this because they could. You only get one chance to do something like this, so you have to do it even if it risks losing the ability to do it in the future: if you never do it, then you never get the benefit, and if you do do it, you get to do it once, and once is better than never.

Thanks for that info. I assumed that once the boards came back to SM's US premises, a second level of optical and other tests are done by SM employees. But perhaps that's not - or was not - their actual workflow.
It might be possible to mount an attack from a board location occupied by a legitimate passive component (or a single SOT-23 transistor, something like that). In that case the attacker would only need to replace a reel of legit passives in the PnP machine. Visually they'd be identical.
How does this mentality address the issue that Twitter and Facebook have evolved into what they are based largely on the capital incentives to grow as quickly as possible, be as opaque as possible, and gather as much consumer data as possible?

Twitter still refuses to publicly state how many of its users are bots largely because it knows the financial implications for doing so.

Facebook has released the bare minimum amount of information related to Russian interference, despite reports that its still ongoing.

What does competition look like against these companies when the financial incentives encourage more consumer data gathering, not less?
Can anyone explain what's going on there?

The model being described is one where the company at the center of the network eventually captures ~100%+ of the profits deriving from the products that OEMs build on that platform. The reason is that the traits that define the product for the consumer are all controlled (or eventually co-opted) by the platform, leaving OEMs (what Google wanted Honda to be in this example) no room to differentiate. This leaves the OEMs with very little pricing power, which drives margins lower. Lower margins lead to less innovation. This is why it's hard to sustainably be an OEM in a market like this.

Examples:

-- Wintel --> Microsoft + Intel financially did much better financially than the legions of PC makers who designed, built, and sold products using the Wintel foundation

-- Android --> Similar, with Google reaping the profits.

Where do they expect something like this to land? Densely populated areas are not known for having plenty of open/empty spaces for something with spinning blades to land. Existing heliports? Those are not typically near anything convenient, except maybe the pads on top of buildings. However, this has a max altitude of 60 feet, so it can't reach those.

Right now, Waymo looks like it wants other companies (Honda, Chrysler, Jaguar) to provide it with dumb boxes on wheels. Waymo wants to play different dumb-box-on-wheels providers against each other so it can get the cheapest box-on-wheels.

Waymo then installs it's fancy software on these boxes and uses it's Google connection (Maps, Waze, etc) to put people in those boxes and charge them a hefty profit, at least for a few years while it's the only provider. Waymo wants to be in control and collecting profits, while manufacturers subsist on small margins.

Obviously, this isn't a good situation to be in for Honda etc

I'm curious if you have any examples. I have been very happy with Amazon. Even though every now and then I look up competitor's prices and selection Amazon is usually better at one or both. When they aren't it's not by a lot.

Many people in this thread have complaints about Amazon but my experience has been great so I'm wondering where the disconnect is coming from.
From what I understand he is accused of some crime 30 years ago, after being a very public person for decades, with no corroborating evidence.

In my personal worldview and culture that makes him an innocent man, and he should not be disrespected in this manner. My values are certainly not in need of the ACLU's approval. I don't put stock in the opinions of institutions, just in the facts as they relate to the allegations.

No idea what's happening in America right now. I've always assumed my worldview was shaped by English common law, and the great principles it puts forth like presumption of innocence, individual rights, etc.

You're thinking solely about materials, and thusly forgetting about energy. (So did Star Trek, I reckon, but I degress.)

Humans require a timely supply energy to live and act. Converting energy into human-usable form, requires energy. Recycling and remanufacturing require energy just like mining and "unsustainable" manufacturing do. And even renewable sources can collectively provide only a finite amount of energy per unit time.

"Hi, this Jane from the procurement department of GM North America. We might be interested in licensing your software. Please give me a call back so we can set up a meeting."

They don't need to build tech. They can buy it. GM can write some pretty big checks. They flat out bought Cruise just to cover their butts.

When I was an intern at a defense contractor ~1/10th the size of GM my cube was across from procurement. I think a lot of people here don't understand the kind of scale companies like this play at. Your problem isn't "how do we pay for this" it's "will anyone sell me all this all at once or sign a contract to provide it all over the timetable we want". You make bets on how many times around the earth the welding wire you'll buy next quarter will go. GM shipped ~10 million vehicles in 2017. That means they had to sign a contract with someone to supply approximately an Exxon Valdez worth of motor oil and another of ATF just for their factories.
