To each their own. I like my TM3 and enjoy regenerative braking but there really is not reason to use a blended braking system which keeps with the current petrol car model of, use the brake pedal to slow down. It also may be safer since your foot will be over the brake when needed.

Chevrolet used this on the Volt for normal driving, you press the brake pedal and it decides how much hydraulic brakes you need over what regeneration can provide. Audi is going this route too. What makes it even better is they can totally mask the loss of regeneration in cold weather which can be disconcerting.

If anything I think Tesla should make it an option, the loss of regen braking even when the pack is only saturated to 40F is bad enough and just useless below freezing. They can do wonders with OTA so there is no reason to not offer all options, low to regeneration, high regeneration, maximum, and blended.

Again, blended doesn't mean it uses the disc brakes, only that it can when it has too and this is safer than relying on one pedal driving.
A Culture-Hack for Startups/scaleups [Launch News]

Startup Culture Building Solution:
As an author/entrepreneur with domain expertise in people, culture and learning, and as someone who shares the maker ethos, I have been deeply interested about startup culture. cultureboom.co is my effort to actually create a system, which is scalable, and whereby founders can get a service that is 1/10th of the alternative and has 10x the effect.

Would appreciate any constructive opinion.
They are breaking the law:

An OSP must "not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity" to qualify for § 512(c) protection. However, it is not always easy to determine what qualifies as a direct financial benefit under the statute.

One example of an OSP that did receive a direct financial benefit from infringing activity was Napster. In A&M Records, Inc. v. Napster, Inc.,[10] the court held that copyrighted material on Napster's system created a "draw" for customers which resulted in a direct financial benefit because Napster's future revenue was directly dependent on increases in user-base.

Fixed the link. I just think with all the conspiracy theories out there (which I'm also skeptical about) it is kind of amusing.
Personally, I don't use FB anymore even though I still have an account. I use Messenger to keep up with my closest friends and I use Instagram for photo sharing and general life updates. I don't follow anyone who I don't actually consider a friend and my profile is on private. I further restrict my circle with Instagram's "Close Friends" feature when I want to share something on my story with only a select few.

Prior to that, though, I just made extensive use of Facebook's unfollow feature and a few key uBlock Origin filters (that block out any posts containing the words "____ was tagged in a post" or such).

Also, for what it's worth, I only follow ~200 people on Instagram so maybe I don't have enough feed content to generate any, but I have NEVER seen an advertisement on Instagram and all of the posts also appear in chronological order for me. I get the feeling that most of the people who have a bad time with FB or Instagram are the people who don't use the unfollow feature for their uncle that spends all day posting inflammatory political rants or who follow spammy Instagram accounts that are just promotion bots.

If you use FB and FB's apps and services to keep up with your friends, your real friends, I think they're pretty great.

Edit: For those interested, these are my uBlock filters for facebook.com:

https://pastebin.com/GHwpM9bY

If you're tired of the noise in your feed I recommend trying these out. They aren't particularly well organized, when I first started using uBlock Origin I wasn't all too familiar with the syntax, but they do a pretty good job (for me).

This seems to make more sense for optimizing 0-60mph acceleration metrics than just about anything else. Using SuperCaps, a base Model 3 could have the 0-60 times of a P100D for much less than the cost of the required batteries.

4WD off road vehicles could also have much higher torque for brief periods of time.

Can get the outcome of the tutorial is not the same as understanding React.js.

Basically, cookbooks allow people to create food that they don’t know how or create without the cookbook. But, that only applies to what’s actually listed in the cook book. For a tutorial to allow somone to ‘know’ react it would need to encompass all edge cases etc.

Given all nessisary tools and resources like reference materials somone might be able to create arbitrary React.js pages which is closer to what your example. The remaining difference is time to completion and quality of output. But, if the tools allow somone to get the same quality of output in the same fine frame as somone that knows React.js then the system effectively knows React.js.

Consider, somone knows ASM but not machine code. Given the right tooling that coverts back and forth 1:1 to machine code it’s functionally identical to somone knowing machine code. Which is why nobody learns machine code over ASM as there is no benifit to learning machine code.
I used AoC to try and learn a bit of Nim as I liked the idea of writting simple scripts that could run many times faster than Python. I somewhat regret it though.

> You could get them to prefer the bus there by making the car trip take three hours or cost $100, but what good is that? Whose life does it improve?

It improves the lives of all those who are agnostic to their mode of transportation but want to get to their destination faster. The carrying capacity of a bus or a train is much higher than individual cars. It also saves cost on road maintenance because the amount of road strain / person decreases.

> That's the point. If you want more people to take the bus, don't make it worse to drive, make it better to take the bus.

In a perfect world, of course. We'd make separate bus roads, bicycle roads, and car roads, and then the road user would select their mode and their road and be done with it. In reality, budgets are limited. Prioritizing a car solution makes it worse for busses and bicyclists to use the same road. While a train can be a good non-disruptive alternative, it is extremely expensive to initially invest in.

I'm also not exactly sympathetic to allowing car drivers free access to the space they take up on the road when space is a limited quantity.

>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.

So basically like an old pickup from back when 4.xx was a typical rear end ratio and transmissions didn't have overdrive so you were doing 3000+rpm at 60.

This resonates with me quite a bit. Some food for thought, as I have become more aware of this in my own life over the past year. I've also touched on this in past comments, but it might be worth re-mentioning.

I spent a week in the hospital last year (then 2 weeks in out-patient therapy), after having a nervous breakdown - related to deep depression, some suicidal thoughts, and high anxiety.

Also, for a better picture of the week I was in the hospital. I wasn't bedridden, attached to an IV or anything. I was able to wander around. Hang out with other patients. Play board games. Engage in social activities. Etc.

During that week, I didn't have my phone, and I rarely interacted with technology, besides watching some TV in the evening in a large room with other people. Even that was socially engaging, because we would all laugh together, and some people would comment on things in the movie or TV.

I came to a better understanding of what was really triggering my depression. My lifestyle, as a dedicated programmer, was killing me slowly.

I would wake up, workout for a bit, and then go to work behind a desk. Where I sit (and stand occasionally) for 8 or so hours per day. Doing almost nothing physically engaging, and socializing at arms length via Slack, email, or Github comments.

Sure, I get lunch with people sometimes. Sure, I go for walks throughout the day. But the work I do is not physically or socially engaging. It's very antisocial, actually.

What has really saved my mind lately has been learning to snowboard. It's physically engaging. Social too, if you go with people - though you'll likely chat with people on chair lifts or in the lodges. It's painful to learn (I broke my tailbone day 1). But it is absolutely worth it. When I'm up on the mountain, I literally CANNOT think about work. If I do, I crash immediately. Even better, as I go through the work week, I look forward to my weekends where I can get up on the mountain, and even occasionally I take a "powder day" if I need to.

As a result, I'm happier. I'm a more productive employee at my job. I get along with my coworkers better, and I am less depressed in general.

My 2 cents. Hope it helps.

On another note. More people deal with this than you may realize. Just look around you. If you're feeling down, or depressed, you don't have to keep it to yourself. When I got back to work after my "forced vacation" in the hospital, a coworker asked me if I was okay and what happened. I mentioned that I had been very depressed, and immediately got a hug. I was like "Oh shit... I didn't realize I worked with actual humans until now"

Researchers from the University of Houston and Western University performed a study to discover the impact of piracy on box office receipts. They discovered that films with torrents available negatively impacted box office receipts, while torrents that became available after the film's premier positively impacted box office receipts.
The most stringent proportional response available to punish people for creating these "deep fakes" would simply be for those offended by the practice to do the same in return. That is their right, of course—turnabout is always fair play—and it may help reduce the impact of the original fake video, but it's unlikely to be seen as much of a punishment.

> as these people have their own, more important rights to their body and images thereof

Nonsense. You do own your physical body, of course, and consequently have the right to use it as you please, but there is no right to control images of your body. That would be tantamount to claiming the right to control the contents of others' minds.

Note that your right to use your body does not imply that you have the right to use others' bodies or other property as you please just because your own body happens to be involved. Owners have the right to veto any action which affects their use of their property; in other words, you have the right to do whatever you want as long as it involves only your own property, but need others' consent if your actions would impact their use of their property.

Regarding the image: (a) the image (the content, as opposed to the physical media) is not property; (b) even if it were, it would not be your property; (c) even if it were your property, someone else's use of the image would not have any impact on your own ability to use it, so you wouldn't have the right to veto that use.

Rights sometimes overlap, but they never conflict and are certainly never "trumped" by other rights.
Except these are designed to be road legal in the 46 states that allow them. As far as I can tell, the utility vehicles you state are not road legal - the difference is minor though as you can legally drive them on the road in all 50 states for things like agriculture but the limits are stronger.

It is true, you have to conform to Rust. Rust looks like an imperative and OO language, but it isn't fully either of these, so some of your intuition you may have from other languages won't be applicable.

• Rust requires more rigor around ownership and borrowing. You can't juggle pointers as freely as you'd in C, or reference everything everywhere like in GC languages.

• Rust doesn't have inheritance, so many design patterns common in C++ or Java need rethinking in Rust.

If you really insist on doing things exactly the C way, or exactly the OOP way, then some things may work, some can be fudged, but it's going to be awkward.

However, if you adopt Rust's style, which is mostly functional, with clearly thought out ownership, without too many cyclic dependencies, then everything nicely falls into place, and Rust becomes easy and productive.

The Wasting of Britain's Marshall Aid
Interesting. Reminds me of the life story of a safety inspector that was born and lived in Okinawa. He basically went through a period where rice was mostly for the rich and then through WWII as a child to which americans prescribed a ration of milk and cheese to kids to improve nutritian. He was fairly short in stature and said he regretted not taking the milk and cheese as he though it would have helped him grow taller. Okinawans were famed for living a really long time though. I think the running theory at the time was due to pork and that pickle looking vegetable (can't think of the name).
Breaking the test material is essential. That's what determines the engineering limits of any applications, and also the failure modes for exceeded tolerances.

It's all fine and good if your device can survive a drop from 1m onto a hard floor without cracking or chipping, but if a fall from 2m then results in a cloud of razor-sharp glass flechettes, that shred all flesh in a 5m radius, you're probably not going to want that particular screen treatment in a consumer product.

But this test material was not supposed to be used for that, I guess. I'm not sure how they were supposed to evaluate it.

Personally, I'd want to do all of the following:

Put it in a rock tumbler with a bunch of keys and coins.
Scratch it with a steel razor blade.
Drive a galvanized deck nail through it with a claw hammer.
Drill a hole through it with a SiC drill bit.
Heat it up with a propane torch.
Put it in a freezer.
Drop it from 2m onto a hard floor.
Bend it in multiple directions.
Pinch it until it cracks.
Try to find a resonance frequency with ultrasound.

Most of those are potentially destructive.

Perhaps this one was more for optical properties? Refractive index, absorption spectra?

For a capacitor to be used in charging that way it would have to have something like the same capacity as the car's battery. Supercapacitors tend to have lower specific energy density than batteries

I was under the misapprehension that they had a much larger energy density. However, my next thought is that not all charging is the same. Only the 1st 60% of a charge is in the constant current part of the charge curve. After that, the charge rate falls off. Charging the last 10% of a battery's capacity takes much longer. What if the supercapacitor bank had about 10% of the capacity of the battery? That would still be a large increase in the size and weight taken up by energy storage, though. It looks like just putting more batteries in the car is the economical thing to do.

> The problem is that you can't say that today -- depression has to be all about BS "chemical imbalances"

Really? I googled "what causes depression", first link:

"It's often said that depression results from a chemical imbalance, but that figure of speech doesn't capture how complex the disease is. Research suggests that depression doesn't spring from simply having too much or too little of certain brain chemicals. Rather, there are many possible causes of depression, including faulty mood regulation by the brain, genetic vulnerability, stressful life events, medications, and medical problems. It's believed that several of these forces interact to bring on depression."

There are brake pads in a train, each car has them. I'm assume the engine does too but I'm not an expert. You are correct that the resistive braking is preferred - the energy to stop a train would eat brake pads if that is all they used. (I suspect air brakes don't allow as much control - but again here I'm outside my expertise)
