I may have overstated it. What I meant was simply when changing lanes you need to accelerate faster than cruising speed to make up for the distance of the lane shift if you want to stay evenly separated from the cars around you, versus drifting backward about a car length as you move between lanes.

In addition I like to have some forward movement while changing lanes on a highway, so that if there is someone (several car lengths) behind me in the adjacent lane they know they won’t have to slow down.

So you can add a bit of speed as you make the lane change and then bleed it off in regen to return back to that lane’s cruising speed. It should not be enough of a delta to involve any kind of brake light.

The energy loop is extremely efficient e.g. if you are going 60mph to bump up to 65mph and then back to 60mph, like 90% is reclaimed, from the energy chart display, you get a spike up and then down in consumption whichs appear to be symmetrical.

Actually, if you lane change in AutoPilot I believe it will do something similar. It does not change (semi-)autonomously lanes without applying some power.

Very cool! Always fun to watch all the different tree implimentations.
This.

Funny thing is, the fact alone that you create a provider-agnostic system can give you enough performance or cost penalties that you want to change providers in the first place.

You can't use provider specific optimizations, so the provider seems bad and you don't wanna use it.
A patient's 30 minutes on webmd doesn't trump a doctor's years of medical training... but neither does a doctor's one 40-minute lecture on a rare condition make them more of an expert on it than a patient with months or years of dedicated research on the topic.
I always wondered why in US doctors rarely consult each other. You come to a different doctor, and they say previous doctor was wrong and they will treat you properly. But they will never call/email the previous doctor to ask why "right" diagnosis wasn't considered.

I remember in xUSSR doctors used to consult each other a lot. Any more-or-less serious diagnosis was made by 2-3 doctors at least (primary doctor is still responsible, but other doctors may help).
Yes, this is a very very old bug. I doubt anything depends on that bug.

I think it’s mostly a cultural thing but the pickup is just so dang convenient. I have two dogs and a young child and it’s just so convenient to plan a trip where we question what we might need and can just say ‘Oh well, we have room. Just toss it in the bed.’ Do I need this vehicle? No. I survived just fine without it. However it’s the same payment as the small SUV we owned prior with 10x the utility. Why wouldn’t someone own one?

It seemed to me that when I visited Australia many people drove smaller variations of the pickup. I’m not sure why they do not have full size pickups but, if they were a financially viable option, it seemed like they would sell extremely well there. Point is, a pickup is super convenient. US just seemed to be the place where cost, affluence, and utility hit the sweet spot and they sell like crazy.
This bears no relation to reality. The overwhelming majority of the rich in Western countries are members of the executive or professional class or entrepreneurs who work for their money.

> The rich different from you and me. … today’s super-rich are also different from yesterday’s: more hardworking and meritocratic, but less connected to the nations that granted them opportunity—and the countrymen they are leaving ever further behind. … Our light-speed, globally connected economy has led to the rise of a new super-elite that consists, to a notable degree, of first- and second-generation wealth. Its members are hardworking, highly educated, jet-setting meritocrats who feel they are the deserving winners of a tough, worldwide economic competition.

> > Have the idle rich replaced the working rich at the top of the U.S. income distribution? Using tax data linking 11 million firms to their owners, this paper finds that entrepreneurs who actively manage their firms are key for top income inequality. Most top income is non-wage income, a primary source of which is private business profit. These profits accrue to working-age owners of closely-held, mid-market firms in skill-intensive industries. Private business profit falls by three-quarters after owner retirement or premature death. Classifying three-quarters of private business profit as human capital income, we find that most top earners are working rich: they derive most of their income from human capital, not physical or financial capital. The human capital income of private business owners exceeds top wage income and top public equity income. Growth in private business profit is explained by both rising productivity and a rising share of value added accruing to owners.
Took me a minute to understand the mechanism behind these devices. Interested to see how the idea could be applied to practical applications.
From how I see it the conflict is not technical but ideological. Or, in technical terms, what is the objective?: for Forrester and Collins this seemed to be increasing the economical growth of the city and managing KPI (crime, poverty etc.). Baker on the other hand considers also human dignity and our responsibility of keeping a fellow human fed, under a roof, and safe and does not ignore the externalities of the decisions.

Not tech business. Not a single one. Banks, sure. Publishing houses -- absolutely. But zero for tech. Perhaps your cultural animus might be reflective of why that is.

And I would do some soul searching and look even outside tech to see what the last market leading or top 3 corporation of any industry that was founded in NY? The publishing houses and financial firms are often more than 100 years old at this point. What new company has NYC produced that grew to dominate its market in the last 30 years? SV has about 100 of them. Los Angeles has more than NYC -- across all industries.

Think about why NYC is more suited for established corporations to hire staff rather than entrepreneurs starting new corporations that can take over a market or create a market.

> So when you learn a new concept via language, it can have a dramatic effect on your life. But whether you learn it in English or Russian isn't going to make a huge difference, because they aren't that different in terms of what they can express easily.

But what if it's between very different languages like English and Hopi, or some tribal tongue from the depths of the Amazon?

Russian and English have quite a lot of cultural mixing. The strong claims I or hear are that some tribe has no concept of time or counting, or that the Ancient Greeks didn't have a word for blue, and thus Homer talked about the sea being the color of blood wine, or whatever it was.

A really interesting one that I only vaguely recall is a tribe that always specified the direction they were coming from when meeting someone. An anthropologist studying them had to learn to be able to always know what direction, and she claimed that eventually she acquired something like a bird's eye view in her mind of the area in order to accomplish that. Which was second nature to the natives. Not that it was mystical, but just some mental ability to conceptualize direction from a different perspective.

Childhood issues with emotional abuse/bullying can & do cause emotional systems to become unbalanced though.

It is not a matter of pure free will. If our emotional brain has been trained to scream at us with anxiety at a specific situation or if it is constantly on high alert it becomes tiring to maintain composure and outbursts may provide an outlet.

Now, a person can recognise this issue and visit a therapist to seek help with their emotional issues. But it first requires them to have recognition of the problem. I do not think it's an exceptional case where people are oblivious of their emotional brain causing them to have an irrational reaction to a situation. In fact I think it is quite common.
This is commonly called tragedy of the commons.

Isn't that exactly the point of AWS?

If you use provider agnostic solutions, things get expensive quick.

Stuff like SNS and Cognito is much cheaper in terms of TCO.

Ironically I started that one but never managed to finish it.

I still got something out of it though, so I suppose that's one way to read a book.

The basic advice I took from it is to treat a book like it's an artifact that you're investigating, almost like a city. You start by looking at the map to get an overview, then you can visit some of the major attractions, and then you can start to spend more time really getting to know some neighborhoods.

So with a book you familiarize yourself with the table of contents to know roughly how the argument or presentation proceeds; then you might for example skim the conclusion to see more clearly what the author is trying to accomplish; then you can pick a particular chapter or section that's of definite interest to you; and so on.

(This is all centered on reading for learning, not for pleasure.)

It's a lot like how to read a program. A book is presented much more linearly than a program, but actually nothing is really linear. Narrative plots may be, but you don't have to follow the plot of a monograph.

It makes me weirdly excited to think about book-length arguments as being programs, or functions in a kind of stoner misreading of the Curry-Howard isomorphism. So maybe you can even make an analysis of the "data structures" and "algorithms" used by a certain book. You might see one book as resembling a compiler, another as resembling a compression program. This may stretch the analogy too far.

But certainly books refer in a similar way that programs do. They make calls out to external sources, hopefully unambiguously declared and semantically versioned. Sometimes it's crucial to actually check those references. Truly reading a book might be a larger project than just reading one particular book.

I think there could be a deeper argument about relating the freedom of thought in the public sphere of literacy to the free software movement, which you can see a glimpse of in Richard Stallman's essay The Right to Read...

"The first phase of the domination of the economy over social life brought into the definition of all human realization the obvious degradation of being into having. The present phase of total occupation of social life by the accumulated results of the economy leads to a generalized sliding of having into appearing, from which all actual “having” must draw its immediate prestige and its ultimate function."

I think that clarification is reasonable. What rubbed people the wrong way is, imho, that people expect the "usual" approach to open source contributions. Instead it is very much optimized for Rich's time and vision. People who spent lots of time writing something have been met with either silence or a "thanks but no thanks".

I am not saying that Rich is doing anything wrong. What I am saying is that there has been a clash of expectations. I agree completely with Rich's clarification on OSS, but I think it failed to actually meet the ones that have been hurt (for the lack of a better word) by the process so far.

But that is just my view as an outsider. I have never actually used clojure more than just for fun.

Don’t Scale Too Fast
Even if you're on your own branch you can easily get a DAG after rebasing or resetting. The reflog keeps track of the history of all refs (ie. branch names) that you change. After you rebase your old commits are still there! It's actually quite hard to remove commits.

Trusting the reflog is key to becoming good at git.
