The trick with Renault Twizy is that it is not registered as a proper car, but rather as some kind of motorcycle with a roof, so it does not have really stringent safety requirements.
I find it always decreases readability.

I literally cannot read C code that does this, now I'm going to have to worry about encountering unreadable Python code.

Edit: Also, it violates both "explicit is better than implicit" and "there should be one and only one right way to do it". It's inherently Unpythonic.
One takeaway from the study that's often ignored on Hacker News, likely because most users here don't use Facebook or have a negative view towards the company, is that the majority of FB users place a real value on its service. Instagram and FB and Whatsapp may be useless to you, but that doesn't mean they don't contribute very real (and even positive) utility to the majority of their users.

"Our participants’ answers in free response questions and follow-up interviews make clear the diverse ways in which Facebook can improve people’s lives, whether as a source of entertainment, a means to organize a charity or an activist group, or a vital social lifeline for those who are otherwise isolated. Any discussion of social media’s downsides should not obscure the basic fact that it fulfills deep and widespread needs"

This is a point often left out of discussions on this website, unfortunately.
I wish local elections were non-partisan for this reason.

I know a lot of folks in far-left cities that think that public sector union benefits are much too generous -- and wish the local government would take crime more seriously -- and wonder if additional tax increases are really in order.

And yet when it's time to vote they choose the candidates on the extreme left... as a rebuke to Trump or something..? even though he has nothing to do with city politics.
It wasn't a matter of not knowing them. They knew. They were negotiated by the unions. It was a matter of not having enough money to pay them. GM simply cannot sell cars at market prices and also pay all the pensions and higher wages that the union demands. It's not workable.
Does it? A truck uses around the same road space as a car, so if it removes one person in the neighborhood's round trip to the store (not everyone has a grocery store on their way home from work), then it's a net win. Even if everyone makes a small side trip to go to the store on the way home from work, that one truck can replace ~50 side-trips to the store.

Though in my case, I usually alternate between bus and bike to work, so if I did drive to the store, it'd be a round trip. If I bike to the store, it means a round-trip from home since I usually have one or 2 commuter panniers on the bike when I go to work, and don't want to haul the empty trailer all the way to work and back.
Yes, you can. How do you think your brain learned the original way?
I believe I should consume information exactly the way I want to consume it. The author made it, but so what? Browsers represent the users' interests first and foremost.
I definitely get that, too. I pull up at the stoplight next to a lady in the other car, she's on facebook, looking at pictures and videos of other people. I want to shout, "hey, what the fuck? Wake up." And then I think about her as a person. With needs, desires, fears. A complete person, just as much as I'm a complete person. The initial reaction softens and I have compassion for her because we're the same.
Seeking help may end up including drugs as part of treatment, it may not. Pushing the narrative that depression isn't real and that depressed people should just get over it is ignorant and actively harms folks who do need help by reinforcing the stigma surrounding mental illness.
Gut bacteria may have impact on mental health, study says

Do you live in the US? That's probably a big part of the problem. Everything in the US is doom and gloom, and everyone in the US is horribly paranoid. People are constantly paranoid about someone attacking them, and kids aren't allowed to run around outside because "someone might kidnap them". People that do get a visit from the police and CPS for "child abandonment".

If you're planning to have kids, doing it in the US is not something I'd recommend unless you can afford a full-time nanny. It's just not a country that's fit for raising children in any more. Other developed nations offer much healthier environments for raising a family.

Yes there are very rare rapes and even stabbings in transit stations, and that is terrible. Just like the same crimes are terrible on the street, at stores, in public parks, at offices, or at homes.

There are also 400 traffic deaths and 2000 traffic injuries per year in the Bay Area.

Statistically, the BART is a very safe way to travel.
I'm not sure they're right. As a man at least when you get to a certain age you lose the filter. I saw it in my dad and now I see it in myself.

When you're younger bosses might BS you but you don't know it. When you get older you know it but feel helpless in doing anything about it. You reach a certain age and you call people on it. That might be one reason in tech that they don't want older employees. Being freer is tied to age, not depression.
Ahh, this on my television with a Roku.
I could see it used for the superChargers, so they could have more chargers feeding off a smaller power connection. (especially for the ones needed for the semi).

I outright bought mine. I'd never heard of battery leasing until your comment, it doesn't appear to be an option in Canada.
I would humbly suggest you look for historical figures who had a hard-headed and realistic view of the world, but who were also positive and healthy in their outlook. Their approach to life might suggest a way forward. We have a surprising amount of freedom in how we interpret the world around us. "Everything has two handles, the one by which it may be carried, the other by which it cannot."
For a website servicing the US market (Bonzer in Cambridge MA), the website sure doesn't seem like it was written by someone who understands English, and the pictures are written in French and have km/h. I undersand Renault is a French company, but Bonzer's American-facing website doesn't give me much confidence in their commitment or quality in this market.
> There are some articles/rumors out there about dry electrode battery tech Maxwell was working on.

If this acquisition included any breakthrough-level battery technology, it'd be for far more than $218M as it probably would have involved a bidding war considering the stated electrification plans from all major auto manufacturers.
If you live around people who resemble Ferengi (that's the proper plural form), then maybe you should look at relocating to a different country where the people don't share the attitudes of the Ferengi.
An awful lot is being written about it these days. I hope we come to the root of the issue, whatever it may be.
From what I understand, part of the problem was that it helped temporarily... and then the system pointed the nose down again.
Not only that, but it sends another message: this can happen to you if you too if displease us. We have the weapons and the training, do you really want to risk your child getting grievously injured by a flashbang[1], or do you want to comply now?

Left, right, democrat, republican, it doesn't matter. In local elections, as a candidate, if you're not supporting the police, firefighters, and judges, you're not getting anywhere. Those elections are decided by a couple thousand votes, and every single government employee is going to come in and vote for the candidate that is giving more pay and benefits. Americans also have a weird patriotism fetish anytime police/firefighter issues come up, as benefits do get cut for all other government workers and teachers, police and firefighters are never touched. Obviously, it's important for the rich to have their security guards on their side.

I would love to find a place to live where the government payroll is all cash, no benefits. Pay whatever you have to, six figures and whatnot, it just has to be in cash, so that taxpayers can see and compare the costs accurately.

Pensions and health benefits are nice, since those numbers can be fudged. It gives mayors and city council members plausible deniability and lets them claim they aren't raising taxes or keeping them low, and shove the costs 20 years into the future. Most people aren't going to want to hear about the conflicts of interest on the board of trustees for pension funds or the actuarial consultant being hired by the same people benefiting from the pensions.

I have no reason to disbelieve you when you say that you’re not depressed, but depression is not the same thing as sadness or the absence of happiness. You can be happy and depressed at the same time.
> But it's a good question whether they are making that profit at the cost of human lives (no crash protection)

To the extent that the cars are replacing scooters, they are an unmitigated benefit, safety wise.
Oooo neat. Doesn't really factor into that particular OpenBSD deployment, but if I ever go back to OpenBSD on my work laptop (which I'd like to do at some point; the previous constraint was that I needed Linux for various tools at work, but I think I can make do with a second laptop and/or using vmm to run virtualized Linux X clients), then this looks like it'd be pretty handy (especially since my work network uses a captive portal now, so I'd want something smart enough to handle that, which sounds exactly like what unwind is supposed to achieve).

There's not much you can do in US politics if you're a techie working in the tech industry. Face it, you're probably not a highly charismatic person who has a chance of winning any serious election beyond the local school board.

The answer is to go someplace else where you don't feel angry all the time.
It's unfortunate, but the environment is unlikely to change, so if you dislike your symptoms you've gotta change what you can. That said, if you can change your environment (new job, new home, new friends, etc) that's going to be a heck of a lot easier than changing yourself.
A number of problems with this method of study, and the headline is misleading.

The real question is whether there will be more biomass and more photosynthesis in response to more CO2, not whether individual trees grow more. The climate skeptics don't say tree trunks will get wider, they say there will be more plant biomass.

And also this is adding in confounding variables and saying more CO2 could change precipitation in certain places, and thus cause lower growth. Other studies that show more growth with more CO2 are using greenhouses to control for confounding variables.

And even if you are trying to answer the question in terms of a holistic analysis, you can't just study one forest in Canada and then make any kind of conclusion.

You'd need to study trees from most of the major forests, and look at the density of the foliage in each.

I miss the full power regenerative braking when using my Tesla in the cold. Like, I really miss it and don’t like driving the car as much when it just coasts when I lift the accelerator.

I actively dislike pressing the brake pedal anymore, and feel cheated whenever I have to touch it except to activate Hold at a stop.

If supercaps could give me full regenerative braking at 0°F then I’d pay an extra $1-2k for the feature absolutely.

In warm climates I can absolutely see brake pads never being replaced. The only time I use the brake pads to slow down is in sub-freezing temps and once in an emergency.

For those who haven’t driven an EV with strong regen braking, you drive with a single pedal. “Neutral” is the accelerator slightly depressed. Lift your foot to slow down, fully lifting your foot is a strong braking down to about 10 mph. I should look up how fast you get 60-10 with a warm Tesla on regen alone. You drive with a single pedal, and you can dart in and out of traffic very nimbly because over-accelerating for a lane change and then regen’ing back to cruising speed is very efficient and fun and you don’t have to move your foot to another pedal. But regen degrades as the battery cools.

A frozen battery will barely regenerate at all, at 0°F it’s actually disconcerting when you lift your foot and the car just... coasts. The display does have a gauge showing how much regen is available, so it’s not a surprise but it literally feels weird.
MIT Deep Learning Basics: Introduction and Overview with TensorFlow
People don't act on perfect information. In general, what they know is what is personally relevant to them.

Given limited information, we use shortcuts for making decisions, including what we believe to be best for us based on pre-learned models that are shaped by education, our peers, media, and culture in general.

Often, our models our wrong. This can be manifested as racist beliefs and actions, as well as rejection of actual facts, among other outcomes. Of course, the outcome is also entirely possible to be a positive one despite the inputs being inaccurate or incomplete.

Yet, despite our simple models and narrow understanding of the world, we, as a species, have managed to build friendships, communities, and civilizations. We have peered back in time billions of years, learned of our place in the universe, and invented pizza.

It's easy to get focused on all the problems, because that tends to take up most of our focus — but only because we're constantly striving to improve and solve those problems. Sometimes these problems are social, collective action issues, built on incorrect personal models distributed across millions or billions of individuals, and they can take longer to resolve than many of us would like. But, looking at the arc of history, we trend toward progress.

Therefore, I think the correct response to the human condition is one of hope. Of course, this whole experiment that is humanity could end tomorrow or next century due to a nuclear holocaust, GRB, climate change, superbug, or a billion of other existential threats. But until it does, let's marvel at the run we have had, and continue to subscribe to the mass delusion of hope that has served us well so far.

Also of concern is a tragedy of commons like issue where those who contributed no funding are able to get the software for free. For example if a piece of city focused software is FOSS and then a bunch of other cities choose to consume it but not contribute to the funding or code.
On related note... I came across a webpage yesterday with autoplaying video that doesn't respond to the GUI:

https://www.denverpost.com/2019/01/31/wade-phillips-masterfu...

If you click on the video to unmute it, you can't click again on the pause or mute icons to stop it or mute it. This behavior of ignoring your clicks happens in both Chrome and Firefox. Even clicking on Chrome's tab area with the little speaker icon doesn't mute it. To stop it, you can click on the video window's hamburger menu -- or close out the entire tab.

I don't know if it's aggressive javascript tricks or a bug in the browsers. It was the first webpage I found where Chrome's speaker icon on the page's tab couldn't mute the audio.
Thanks for sharing this comment. I do have a bit of trouble with the last paragraph. Am I understanding correctly that the author claims depression is neccessary for building a better model of the world?

I'm sure depression has caused me to think about things and get a better understanding of them, but is it neccessary? What am I currently building a better model of?
Sure but I prefer the Internet to look less like Imgur and gyfcat so that would be a feature.
Honest question but do you need a lot in terms of crash protection if the top speed is 25mph? Theoretically you should only be in a collision at roughly 25mph (assuming you're sticking to roads where the speed limit is 25mph like you should be).

It's certainly better crash protection than a pedestrian, a bicycle, a moped, or a Segway which seems to be the competition.
When depressed you do good deeds and feel nothing.

This is far more plausible, where space is abundant outside the vehicle to keep a cache of supercaps to charge from. Especially if the usage pattern tends to be very bursty. But if the superchargers are (or will be) continuously near 100% utilization it's pointless, they'll need the current at the mains.

Aside from all the problems this would cause with long-lived single-page applications and legitimate uses of high bandwidth (YouTube, Netflix, streaming radio, etc), I think you'd run into the same thing as the comment you're replying to is getting at: developers will find a workaround, and it may be worse than the thing you were originally trying to prevent.
Thought I would chime in with the CA laws. It's important to note that CA has some of the strictest employment laws in the US surrounding protected classes and more recently the notion of contractors and what's allowed there.

Some people have said it's perfectly legal to ask, and it most certainly is not. Some things may naturally come up in conversation in an interview but if they are specifically asking in writing, and/or in their application process that is illegal. Like others said, you might not get millions in a lawsuit, but depending on what state you're in, it wouldn't be hard to find a lawyer to take a case like this.

-Age: employers can't ask anything in the application or in the interview process that would indicate age. So an overt question of DOB is completely illegal as are any questions like "what years did you attend university?" or "how old were you when youtube became popular" all are questions that could indicate age.
-Citizenship: it is illegal to ask a candidate PRE OFFER what country their citizenship is in. But they are perfectly fine asking you "Are you legally authorized to work in the United States"
-Marital status: It is illegal to ask “Are you married?” “Have you been married?” The only thing marital status related that's okay to ask is if applicant has a spouse or child that is currently employed by the company.
-Copy of your passport: Absolutely not legal pre offer! No employer can require an applicant to produce employment authorization documents prior to hire.
-IBAN: Again, not allowed pre-offer. It's touchy to even ask for this info post-offer but nonetheless pre-offer is certainly not legal.

There are a ton of other protected classes in CA (that are also protected in the rest of the US in different ways/shapes/forms).
My personality is a bit different than yours. For right or wrong, I used to think like that, then I realized I was allowing people to walk all over me. I no longer allow such shenanigans and I feel 500% better for it.
There's still a massive stigma against people with mental illness today. By no means are we "way past the point of truly disturbed people not seeking help due to the stigma of mental illness."
Agreed. List comprehensions are where I see them being the most useful and where, in the past, I wished the functionality had existed.
My last girlfriend was a lot like this. She ended up dumping me because I changed my mind about moving in with her, because I wasn't very happy at home with her. I think she's probably seriously depressed, but hides it with anger. I have no idea, unfortunately, how to help her, and don't think I can; she refused to even communicate with me after the break-up (which was by text message).
