You make it very hard to discuss anything because you're aggressively looking for flaws in people's comments that you can object to (i.e. you like to argue) which intern means people are less likely to invest effort in responding because we're hear to have friendly discussions.

> implying that that was the only way it could work.

You're interpreting it how you want to and not taking what's being said in the context it's given.

The comment I was responding to remarked that they used engine braking as a means of reducing brake wear. They acknowledged to have never driven an EV and I was pointing out that by default an EV exhibits a behavior (i.e. regenerative braking) that is similar and, unlike engine braking, is not something you consciously have to perform. It's on by default.

You swoop in to tell me how I'm wrong (which I'm not) and that I'm complaining (which I wasn't).

> the Model 3's settings, which in fact, let you change this thing that you're complaining about.

First, I wasn't complaining about it at all, go back and reread what I said.

> I personally find the Leaf to be ... a lot less fun, to drive...

With both cars you have to keep constant pressure on the accelerator to coast, however the Model 3 requires you to maintain greater pressure which leads to fatigue faster (i.e. less fun). In the Leaf you can set Regenerative Braking to Normal and disable Eco Mode, which increases throttle response and reduces pedal weight, which allows you to coast at highway speeds with minimal pedal pressure. The Model 3's equivalent settings (i.e. Acceleration = Standard, Regenerative Braking = Low) require much more pedal pressure to coast at highway speeds.

Second, even when you set Regenerative Braking to Low in the Tesla, it is still not like driving an ICE vehicle. The Model 3's least aggressive Regenerative Braking setting is so aggressive that if you completely remove your foot from the accelerator it automatically illuminates your brake lights. Unless you're driving in a manual transmission vehicle and you downshift, you will never experience that kind of tug.

So no, in fact, you cannot change the settings in the Model 3 to be comparable to a conventional ICE vehicle. At best you can get a behavior that's akin to driving a manual transmission vehicle aggressively.

Again, I'm not complaining about the Model 3 or any EV.

With regards to my "one test drive" experience with EVs: https://i.imgur.com/KUnPluM.jpg

Puhleeze, I haven't heard any remotely viable way that any even halfway decent alternative to Facebook becomes possible. I see multiple posts a day bitching about the evils of FB, and then they come out yesterday with enormous revenue and user numbers.

The only way FB will slow down is if they are trustbusted.
Google built things that circumvent it.

I love how commercials "follow you around". If I search for diamond rings in a browser on one computer, they suddenly materialize everywhere.

I tried it with Duck-Duck-go, searching for something I nearly never search for, something such that the ads follow you around. I just searched in DDG, but did not go to the end website. I then resumed non-DDG browsing, and those came up as ads. I don't know if they are looking at image caches, or loading javascript libraries.

They have a way around it already, and it runs.
Can confirm this is true. When other people deleted their Facebook accounts my mental health improved from no longer seeing their negativity in my feed.
Apple would be a great company if it didn't botch 'right to repair', overprice their products, and restrict their OS and APIs. Regardless, there's not much 'American' left in American tech products, let alone all US products. Apple and Essential are the only two cell phone manufacturers left, if that, and Essential just dropped theirs :( Somebody needs to make it cost effective to print circuit boards and encasing frameworks so we can move our tech back to the US. At least Apple is pushing back against Facebook and the NSA/gov. Everybody else is selling our privacy.
How would you verify and check 2.3bn entries for duplicates? I don't think there's a reliable way to get to the real number of users. Names can be similar, IP addresses used by many accounts, etc. Not sure how you'd identify duplicates without a lot of false positives.
>A new agency with ICE's original charter would be a reasonable thing to have, but there's no way to get that under the current structure.

One of the strong points of the current president is kicking out illegals, so it could be argued that abolishing the ICE would be simply antidemocratic.

Yeah, Iran is just a simple country that doesn't deserve any of this... they treat everyone well, don't subjugate half their population along gender lines, aren't responsible for thousands of US and Iraqi causalities, and don't export terrorism across the region.

Why do you believe that? Which is to say, is this something you've worked out with numbers or is it a reflexive intuitive judgement? Because if it's the later you should recognize that your intuition is based on prices that include the labor of the person driving you which won't be included in a self driving car.

Brad Templeton did some math and thinks that self driving cars will be cheaper on a per-mile basis if you sometimes take smaller cars when you need to.

The book is good, but could've been one long blog post. It also sadly is not very relevant for many workers. Dr Newport is a tenured, famous professor. He sets his own schedule and probably works by himself.

I'm an average tech worker in an open office. My office is quieter and more peaceful than most, but I can rarely get much "deep work" in. Meetings, Slack, etc. I have no door I can close and isolate myself with. I assume this is the case with most engineering roles so the usual HN advice of "find another job" doesn't apply.

That said, I still get things done fairly well, so I'm not complaining. I've used his techniques and ideas in my free time when I read, program, etc.

> Humans are not good drivers with two eyes.

This isn't really the point, it's that humans are able to successfully build an accurate-enough model of the world to navigate terrain with only camera like vision -- and a really bad one at that.

There is, of course, no problem with giving cars more sensory abilities to make them safer but what they mean by a crutch is that the CS breakthrough that will make self-driving cars compete with humans will function about as well with two crappy cameras mounted on the drivers seat as it would with an array of high-precision sensors.
Elite private schools in SF and NY are closer to 40k/yr. Catholic schools tend to be much less, with elite high schools in the 20-25k range, though it’s not an exact substitution. Catholic schools teach Catholicism, and while students are not obliged to be catholic, they must attend religious services. The catholic 20k tuition schools also tend to be larger than independent elite privates, though many of them are reasonably elite as measured by sat scores and colleges attended.

This all supports your point, other than to say it’s even more expensive than you’ve indicated.

Obviously one eccentric's anecdote doesn't mean anything for something in-any-way scientific, but I deleted my FB about four years ago after I realized that my primary usage of the platform was arguing with people. I spent hours at a time constructing (what I thought were) brilliant arguments for my obviously super-important viewpoints. Eventually it got bad enough to where I actually lost friends IRL because of it, and I figured it wasn't healthy to dedicate so much time to arguing, and I deleted my account.

I feel like a lot of my time suddenly became free, and I get am overall less stressed out. It could just be a placebo effect, but there's about a zero-percent likelihood that I'll reopen my account any time soon.

The solution is for all parents to be aware of potential for dark patterns and to put the onus on them to refuse to let their kids play F2P games? It would be nice to live in a society in which the government doesn’t view actions that Facebook engages in as something every parent ought to be aware of. Caveat emptor works in some cases but not all of them. Your diligence in this situation is not something every parent has the foresight or willpower or knowledge to do. What Facebook did was morally reprehensible. There aren’t other parties to blame in this case.
The discussion here is reflective of the problem that plagues immigration law. Any change to immigration system is not looked at through an incrementality lens, but through the lens of the overall system and its problems.

This change makes it more likely for graduates of US universities to get H1B visas, yet the discussion is on the overall merit of H1Bs. Exact same thing happens with solving the problem of country based caps on green cards which disadvantages people based on an attribute that they have no control over - their country of birth. Any change proposed to country based caps is looked at with whether the overall high skilled immigration system is good or not.

Its like no one wants to fix any bugs and people are only interested in a complete system rewrite. So every bug report and code review becomes a discussion platform for the problems of the overall system.
It's not that the left dislikes freedom of speech, it's that the right has twisted the meaning and use of freedom of speech to promote hate, conspiracy, and fear.

Seems to me that in the US there's an incredible unwillingness to look this particular horse in the mouth because everytime I see this debate online it's always "it's not us, it's THEM, they're the ones twisting words and ruining things, I'm not the boogeyman, it's them".

Maybe not everytime but with enough frequency that it does become curious.

But maybe that's just politics applied by humans equipped with human nature.

> You do realize that the occupation and abuse of Palestinians by Israel is what drives those Arabs that hate Israel, right? It's a rallying call, if you will.

Naive. I'm sure they'll find another excuse to restore the Muslim lands. There is abuse and it's not pretty but just outright ending the occupation would basically be suicide.

What's your point? It's ok if they shoot missiles at me because ours our bigger and fancier? I'm sure you would feel this way if there were missiles being launched at you with the hope of killing your family.

This is where the 'get fucked' comes in.

> As for Palestinians, there's always the rhetoric that they will never become peaceful etc. but how about you stop thinking of 'Greater Israel' and stop building illegal settlements as a first step? You can't continue jacking their land and somehow come to an agreement with them.

Noted. Both sides are negotiating in bad faith so some degree here. There is no indication that Palestinians will ever consider one square inch of Israel to not be 'jacking their lands' any more than there is of settlers giving up hope for 'greater Israel.'

Agreed. Certainly couldn't hurt in any significant way.
I think the solution is for a photo sharing site to win over the tech crowd with well-thought-out, fine-grained privacy controls and a sustainable business model and then to make it dead easy for non-tech people to share their photos with other non-tech people.

ie. I create a single account and my friends each create a single account and I create groups out of those friends, and then I share my photos with a group, and my friends can see and perhaps comment on the photos that have been shared with them.

How much would it cost per user per month to make this sustainably ad-free?

I back up all my personal data from each associated desktop via SpiderOak. Personal server data I rely on a combination of rsnapshot, rsync, and SpiderOak.

It usually takes some time from the point "we have done all the basic research" to something that is successful in the market. Today, autonomous driving seems still to be in the basic research stage. If there was a research car, filled with ridiculously expensive hardware, able to perform at human level, I'd be more optimistic about the introduction of a marketable self driving car ten years from now. Take the mouse + graphical GUI example. It was demonstrated in the late 1960s but became only economically viable in the mid 1980s.

> Are there types of problems where this is known to be faster now?

Not yet. This is commonly called "quantum advantage" or "quantum supremacy", i.e. proof that on a certain (even artificial and with no practical applications) problem a quantum computer can perform better than classical state-of-the-art. So far even for the task of simulating quantum circuits (which quantum computer should definitely be better at!) we don't have enough cubits to have a go at quantum advantage.

Depending on connectivity (full connectivity like on ionQ vs planar connectivity like IBM / Rigetti), we need between 100-200 and thousands of qubits to show quantum advantage (denser connectivity -> lower qubit number requirement). And that's just for a synthetic problem with no applications.

> A new agency with ICE's original charter would be a reasonable thing to have, but there's no way to get that under the current structure.

It seems to me that you can run ICE without necessarily having figures like Joe Arpaio or Donald Trump as ideological sponsors while accomplishing the same job.

I've read on a few occasions that immigration was even more strictly enforced under Obama's administration, but it was done without xenophobic rhetoric, which seems ideal.
