They're charging the cost of the battery pack + drivetrain. Battery supplies are constrained worldwide. Only Tesla and LG Chem have significant production. Even Nissan is switching to LG Chem.
Tor's slowness (often overstated) is more about hop count and geographic diversity than relay/exit node count.
You’re right, it’s an estimate.

Considering there are approx 10M Uighur people in Xinjiang, even a conservative 500k in detention is 1 in 20.

He mentioned not seeing many young Uighur men on the streets. I wonder where they’re hanging out...
I think it's different past ~$150k salary too (probably more like $200k-$300k in the valley). At that point there's this weird net worth dick measuring contest that becomes a lot of people at that level's xbox gamer score. As in it's this number that they've attached a whole lot of identity to to be able to compare to their peers. It has very little to about what they can actually do with that number and more that they just want a bigger one than their friends.
Utility patents protect how you do something not what you do.

The endurance sports community relies heavily on carbs, to the extent of often consuming sugar supplements during races and longer training sessions. Sure there are some endurance athletes who follow low-carb or even ketogenic diets, but they generally aren't able to compete at elite levels due to lower metabolic efficiency.
This makes total sense. What's he's basically saying is if you've collected a lot of evidence, you can quickly classify a new data point. (And if feedback is not immediate or very noisy, you're not collecting as much evidence as you think.)

If that sounds like a lesson for machine learning, it's because it is.

For the same reason, as a quantitative trader, I look at stuff that has a lot of repetitions historically. And over short time periods, because that both gives you faster feedback and more non-overlapping reps. Which addresses the point he makes about the financial markets.

The other takeaway is that you don't have nearly as much evidence as you think. I mean who wouldn't think that kids who learn to speak early have high GPAs?

Often I get into a discussion with people who pull out something similar, with no specific source. Everyone else is convinced that not only is the hypothesis true, but that there's so much evidence that I'm just being difficult when I ask for it.

There's a lot of traps like this in the social sciences. I'm not saying these are all wrong, just that your intuition is seductive if you don't ask for the evidence:

- "People descended from the cold regions are smarter, because they had to be smart to survive"

- "CEOs who have share options perform better, because they have better incentives"

- "Without patents nobody would bother to invent anything"

- "Reading to your kids is good for them"

Lastly, some things are unlearnable for one person. If you're going to learn, you'd need to aggregate somehow:

- How many times has someone sold their company? Probably not more than a handful. Even people who have n>0 are quite rare. So what does this say about how highly you should weight this person's experience?

- How should I coach the team for the big final? Again, how many finals are there in a year in any given sport? Can you learn any lesson at all that's separate from just increasing the n of the number of games coached (which probably is meaningful)?
So, what you're saying is that K's three conditions are met in your specific case.
Any feedback on how this went? The even sourcing pattern I mean.
"intuition is thinking that you know without knowing why you do."

That is not a precise definition at all, in fact it is an orthogonal concept. "Thinking that you know" may be happening during intuition, but to claim that that is what intuition actually IS is just wrong.

Intuition is the thought, not the thought about the thought.

A more precise definition might be something like "knowing -- rightly or wrongly -- without knowing how you know."
Let's dial back on the unwarranted outrage. Mozilla expects that people who develop their own extensions will be using the Developer edition. It also expects that people who aren't especially computer-savvy will be using the stable edition. The people crying foul about requiring signing for add-ons on the stable edition are living in a bubble where they don't realize that most people will completely fail to understand the importance of vetting browser extensions, while also failing to appreciate the potentially disastrous ramifications of installing a malicious extension.

Browser extension malware is a big, big problem in a way that some otherwise tech-savvy people in here apparently don't understand. Why are people so quick to ascribe malice when nobody can come up with even a single potential malicious motive for Mozilla requiring signing of add-ons? There's no profit motive or perverse incentive here. Mozilla doesn't make money from this process. Frankly, they'd make a lot more money if they didn't run AMO at all and didn't bother hiring any stuff to run it and vet extensions.
Totally agreed. Wikiwand has made me excited every time I see a Wikipedia link because the reading experience is so well thought out.
That is indeed the case and we are also bitten by that. The most effective work around we managed to find is to flush periodically (say every 300ms) for a certain timeout period before reading from ES again for checks. Though even then, ITs still fail time to time.

1 and 2 are signature Toyota characteristics, and I'd expect them to be apparent on a big vehicle with little performance emphasis like the Venza. There are a lot of good Japanese cars that have lots of available torque and road-feel. Mazda and Honda feature on just about every enthusiast magazine "Car of the Year" list for good reason.
Yes, I'm aware of the pot-of-nectar legend - just didn't have the time to check primary sources for the origin of the legend, and did not want to put out something I was unsure of. If you have a primary reference for the origin of that legend, that would be helpful.

As for the Saraswati, you are mistaken. The sangam (confluence) at Prayag being referred to as "Triveni" (three rivers) is a recent invention (1860 or thereabouts) and is first referred to in written literature in 1873. And it is the same Saraswati river. See https://www.thehindu.com/features/metroplus/The-story-of-Tri...

To quote:

"...the word Triveni was used for the first time in 1873 to convey the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati in the six-volume Sanskrit work Abhidhan Vachaspatya of Taranath Tarkvachaspati, who was associated with Government Sanskrit College, Calcutta (now Kolkata). Otherwise, according to its etymology, it meant triple-braided. Whether it is Valmiki or Kalidasa, no Sanskrit poet has used the word Triveni to denote the confluence of rivers at Prayag (Allahabad). Whenever they referred to it, it was always as a confluence of two rivers Ganga and Yamuna."
It's probably the accusational tone and sweeping generalisation coupled with the absence of proof, data, or at least examples to back it up. Also, it doesn't even tangentially touch on the actual subject of the post.
Well I noted belief; as an atheist I don't get to go to church groups.

Which leaves interest groups on Facebook... that's okay but talking about board games or model trains isn't really the same as talking about who you are and how you exist in the world as a person.
Yep, just imagine if Toyota had launched the Volt instead of the Prius. Or VW had made a Jetta-class vehicle with the Volt's drivetrain. Assuming they could get the battery supplies, it would have sold like bonkers.

In many ways the Volt is too good to be true, and I think that makes buyers skeptical.

Biggest fault is insufficient cabin space.
I think if you work on a stable piece of software with good test coverage and CI/CD process for a long time, you'd meet all 3 requirements and develop good intuition about that system.

How valuable that intuition is and whether it is transferrable to other system is another question.

Git 201: Creating a “fixup” commit
So basically Ruby is now being treated like PHP.
This diet sounds miserable. You'd be hungry all the time. I would also much rather eat low-carb (and I do, I am a T2 diabetic that eats a ketogenic diet).

Which sounds more sustainable? Drinking 800 calories of milk and juice every day, or eating real food like steak and broccoli, or chicken with brussel sprouts, or bacon and eggs?

I am losing weight and reducing my A1c eating about 1300 calories of real food each day, and it doesn't leave me hungry at all. Keto is a very sustainable way of eating (in that you can keep doing it without misery). This "diet" looks like hell.
A lot of people here are suggesting, like you, that a low-carbs diet or ketos can help your body "heal" from T2D. I just don't see why starving yourself from carbs, which is like the basis of life for your cells, is going to help. From what I gleaned here and there, T2D is more linked to fat-heavy diet, which clutters blood vessels and keeps yours cells from absorbing the insulin your body produces, thus preventing them from "disgesting" the carbs you sending to them, resulting in diabetes. Reducing all the cholesterol in your diet will help your body "cleanse" gradually from these plaques on your blood vessels.

I'm not doctor, nor a nutrionist, but this guy makes really good and sourced videos on these subjects:

On Keto: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzHLAqyO7PQ

On carbs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyOACAdvAsE

I really recommend watching them. They're clearly oriented (duh), but still quite informative.

I'm sorry, my reply is a bit rushed and not that polished, but I really wanted to reply to see if anyone has something to say about this interpretation of carbs and T2D. (And it's damn late right now where I live!)
No, but there is such a thing as "following best practices".

An ethical approach requires you to reason about which actions are moral, not to be "done" with something. As I said, even a basic knowledge would be really helpful.

The fact that this benign comment is so downvoted says a lot about the sort of people who are brigading this thread.
Agreed. Also, in complex systems, there are emergent properties that are hard to predict, so any intuitions about system behavior from previous observations aren't always valid.

Intuition is a form of pattern-matching on implicit/tacit variables. It only works if there is a pattern to match.
Doesn't matter. When developing an internal company tool, it can become a blocker due to policy or legal reasons.
Nothing wrong with that kind of diet for people without a genetic predisposition for diabetes (or lactose intolerance) and who are otherwise eating moderately.
I'm pretty sick of celebrating AirBnB. They create so many classic externalities problems and are doing basically nothing to address them despite simple solutions being available, like allowing people to look up addresses and file complaints without being a customer (ie: neighbors of AirBnB owners that are adversely affected). It's obvious why they don't do this: they know there are tons of illegal listings that would immediately be identified and pulled down, and they know that's a significant amount of their business.

This doesn't even begin to address the legalities of subleasing, the negative real estate market effects for residents, etc. all of which AirBnB chooses to paper over with ads about how they are helping poor people get additional sources of income.

We should be careful trusting them in having a significant role in our real estate system. As a company they behave irrationally and their values, outside of growth at all costs, are shallow, and as a country real estate provides a huge amount of our economic backbone. We're all still really mad at the bankers about the last economic recession, do we want to blame the next one on the tech companies?

AirBnB: fix your existing marketplace and show that you can run a proper, legal business before expanding.

It's pretty clear that they are pivoting their messaging to go after a wider developer base. I just don't understand why they did it in the way that they did. Rust already has a huge value proposition for any company that wants to use it in the form of hard memory safety. Just look at the number of high profile memory leak related problems in the last 5 years adding up to 100's of millions of dollars in damages. Billions if you count flow down effects. Companies care about cash and risk, managers care about not being the one who signed off on the next Heartbleed. Forced memory safety also means that you don't have to worry as much about junior developers making the errors that lead to those catastrophic problems and allow you to lower your hiring costs (sorta, think like a manager) and have less time spent by your senior developers checking for those often very hard to find problems.

What I really think Rust needs to grab a wide audience is an out of the box just works IDE. Also too many libraries require nightly, which is a nightmare for a business that must have stable code for deployment.

Edit: They previous had their value proposition as their slogan. It needed work for directing, i.e. don't talk about what Rust does, talk about what Rust does for you. They took it out and replaced it with a mostly meaningless catchphrase.
That doesn't actually address the problem with their old slogan.

The most damning thing about the redesign is where did the link to the documentation go? All the most important stuff for people actually using the language got buried.
>Americans have by and large followed the recommendations of the government

I agree with you the old food pyramid(s) were shit and even Obama’s revised food plates are shit advice. Still I don’t know of any statistics of people actually following it and think by and large most peoples diets in the US are even worse than what the government suggestions have been/are.

As to the parental consent on treatment...Yes children die because parents decline life saving blood transfusions for their children on religious grounds. Most cases are upheld but from time to time there is intervention. In the case I referred to forced HIV treatments, the only reason that was legal for the unborn child, was because the 13 year old mother was already declared a dependent on the State. Again scary a state dependent subjected to force medical treatment for an unborn baby...but the alternative is scary too a 13 year old with hiv refusing treatment because she thought the HIV tests were “lies by the state” and having a dependent of the state give birth to another child with HIV which could have been prevented with treatment.

I think the better question is what's so wrong with the SUV/Truck market that they don't have to compete on TCO?

The chicken tax, as discussed elsewhere in this thread. 25% tariff on imported trucks means domestic trucks have almost no foreign competition.

The one place they do, the compact/mid-size market, is totally dominated by the Tacoma (which sidesteps the chicken tax with domestic assembly), which is coincidentally famous for being an exceptionally reliable truck...
I agree that human connections are important and valuable. I just find that they can't have anything to do with work, and they certainly don't help you with your work (which is what the post above said).

The Bolt EV is a really nice car; sure, not as nice and definitely without the cachet of the Tesla, but also much less expensive. My SO recently purchased a Bolt and has been very pleased with it- she specifically wanted a hatchback, so it was a perfect fit. The range is pretty great, "range anxiety" no longer affects her.

If you've not been coddled with the "luxury car" interiors, you'll find the Bolt's interior to be perfectly fine. It's not Audi/BMW/Benz/Tesla level, but IMO it's not as "plasticky" as other commenters have mentioned: it's not the 90s Malibu crap that GM pumped out back then. The screen is nice and big (not Tesla-big), and integrates just fine with Apple and Android Auto.

For 90% of the trips made by 90% of the people in the US, the Bolt is a perfectly fine car.

However, he added, people who pick stocks in the stock market do not have it.

“Because, the stock market is not sufficiently regular to support developing that kind of expert intuition,” he explained.

In the short term, definitely. In the long term, however, I disagree. Stock markets follow highly-regular multi-year cycles. The problem seems to be that people forget this during the peak or trough of the moment.

Interestingly, this intersects with the third requirement:

And the third condition is immediate feedback. Kahneman said that “you have to know almost immediately whether you got it right or got it wrong.”

Given the long intervals over which stock market cycles operate, there's little chance to get immediate feedback.

So according to this analysis, most stock pickers can't gain intuition - but not for the reason stated in the article.

It takes someone with: (a) a really good memory; and (b) a very long time to play.
Agreed. Statutory, automatic penalties for data mishandling or negligence need to be brought in.

Theory on why western society has a fixation on only doing things that make sense for the rest of your life: There is no longer a strong generational support system for people such that they can be assured that they have a roof over their head and food to eat after retirement age.
