From the linked article:

> What’s more, unlike other intelligence activities – such as cyberattacks, which are characterized by their discretion, the attack on the North Korean embassy was especially violent. On February 22 at 3pm, 10 masked men carrying alleged imitation weapons broke into the embassy, located north of the capital in the residential area of Aravaca. They tied up the eight people inside and put bags on their heads. The victims were beaten and interrogated. A woman managed to escape from a window on the second floor and her screams for help were heard by a neighbor, who contacted the police.

> Officers arrived at the scene but when they tried to enter the embassy a man opened the door to them and told them that there was nothing going on. Minutes later, two luxury vehicles sped out of the embassy. The cars used for the getaway belonged to the diplomatic mission and were later abandoned in a nearby street.

This doesn't add up at all. An operation like this would be guaranteed to blow up into a major diplomatic incident with repercussions far more negative than whatever the US could hope to gain. Surely real CIA agents understand that.

This "operation" literally sounds like some James Bond plot.

Also we had this dicussion in our meeting for the house (munich underground parking) and the pressure wasn't high enough yet but the needed effort to allow a power outlet on your underground parking spot, is relatively low.

As long as you only need normal powercord, you just put it on the ceiling.
That was a surprisingly interesting read. I have to admit I was skeptical just because it was hosted on imgur, but both the images/text paint an interesting picture worthy of discussion.
I think you're sadly right. The events that could pull Americans out of mega cars like SUVs and 150's are (IMO) highly unlikely:

1. Cities ban large vehicles in an attempt to fight traffic fatalities, pollution, or congestion.

2. Simple income inequality puts SUVs out of reach for most people where a $10k micro" EV gets the job done.

3. Graduated licensing and insurance makes SUVs economically unwise.

The rest of the world might go for it though. Certainly Europeans are happy with normal sized cars and could go smaller.

The database market will all its competition is definitely challenging. I have no doubt AWS will increase their database market share over time.
The good thing about this competition is that it is forcing all vendors to be innovative and to find (more) USPs.

AWS DocumentDB seems to be pretty much tied to the MongoDB API right now... So At the moment this will somewhat limit its functionality. However, they will not stand still and probably also extend into the multi-model space at some point. Apart from that, not everyone will be willing to pay for DocumentDB or have their data located in Amazon datacenters.

Sounds like the idea of a delivery robot isn't working out in testing, so now focus is shifting to the notion of an Amazon robot associated with each building to fetch packages from a truck. Sort of a mechanical coal chute, except with a bunch of gotchas.

In my mind, this problem was solved a long time ago. We had these mysterious outlets called stores that you went to and exchanged money for product. The root problem here is that people that consumer product companies care about (ie. not poor brown people) are moving to cities, and the belt of suburban shopping centers isn't serving this population well. IMO this is a good thing, as perhaps it will enable a return to smaller scale retail in vital urban communities.
That was harrowing... I feel like there should be quite a few Boeing executives in prison for life because of this.
The Republican field had daytime and nighttime debates in 15. But that meant that the daytime people only debated with daytime people trying to get a spot on the nighttime. The debates were horribly crowded too.

The best situation would be something like n-fold cross-validation. With 20 candidates you have 1140 possible arrangements for three-way debates. You have what, 40 to 60 weeks to converge on a candidate? Enumerate those 1140 arrangements, pick M integers from a lottery with white balls and hold weekly debates, preferably all over the country.

For any given candidate, his probability of being on any single debate is 14,26% [0]. The probability that he's in at least one of 40 debates is 99,78%. If this happens, give this candidate an extra slot in the very last debate before primaries.

I have seen a chicken hunting mice. It's absolutely astounding. Before seeing it in action I had no idea chickens would go after such large prey, or that they would be such efficient hunters. They must have amazing eyesight, or some other ability to detect prey, because they appear to be able to detect hiding rodents from a long way away.

This was a local wild chicken that had presumably escaped from a coop, and it appeared to sustain itself on mice all summer.

Is there a reason why they don't just keep a fork their code and rebrand it as a "serious app" for corporate use and charge money for it? Discord has the best service for voice chat and screen sharing I've seen and I'd love to use it with clients instead of all the other weird apps I've had to use. The least painful so far has been Google Meet but even that one has its issues and likely an expirement date.

Google should indeed fix every single UX issue, however minor, given its operation scale.

That said, such overblown criticisms reminds me of the quote "There are only two kinds of programming languages: those people always bitch about and those nobody uses". It's true for everything.
Good grief. That's an awful lot of words to convey a very simple story. Here's an 80% reduced summary which is still way too long for the actual information conveyed https://smmry.com/https://onezero.medium.com/how-googles-bad...
Discord hits a sweet spot of design choices that make sense for online friends occasionally intermingling with strangers on the Internet. It's free and has share-URLs to onboard into the product, it's pseudonymous so one can be known by a chosen persona, it's centrally hosted so DOS-attempts don't impact users' networks, but the management and moderation of channels and spaces is distributed. History is searchable, 1-to-1 conversations exist, voice chat is optional but effortlessly available.

IRC is the ancestor of this kind of chat, but IRC isn't as widely known as it was in past generations, it has connection privacy challenges, and has a less cohesive service identity and onboarding story that people have come to expect with the spread of centralized services. Slack is another modern, centralized take on IRC, but reveals one's email address, and multiparty voice chat is gated behind paid plans and limited in size. Gamer voice chat systems are decentralized and are lacking in text chat. Old instant messaging networks have been shut down, new ones either don't have desktop clients, don't have a good group voice chat, or reveal personal info. Skype was fine on all three and was a hangout tool for many, until Microsoft ran it into the ground.

It's a bit of a meme now that companies are putting out chat services yet no one can do them right. Surely there's economic forces at play, and rich media chat is probably expensive, but there's companies with very deep pockets who could run it as a loss leader just to starve their competitors, to commoditize their own complements. But cloud storage for individuals or video hosting like YouTube is also expensive, yet an upgrade path exists for users who want to pay. Google has thoroughly ceded chat to Facebook and still can't sort their strategy out, Facebook is just now realizing that they could tackle a more private chat too and they could satisfy that demand, Microsoft has morphed Skype into everything from Windows-integrated platformwide IM to a bad Snapchat clone and back again to a WebRTC shim, this time with a Chrome-only client. Asian apps capable, but are focusing on other markets and aren't as well known in the US. Telegram still doesn't have group voice calls. VC companies focus on the enterprise where willingness to pay is higher, amounts are higher, but use-cases are different.

It seems like the "obvious" way for Google to do this is to have a thin client with smarts instead of just a video terminal, similar to line editing and local echo in terminals (or Mosh's predictive input). The Chromecast is a smart thin client: when you play YouTube videos, it's actually running YouTube in a Chromium instance on the Chromecast, not streaming it from your laptop or phone, even though you control it from your laptop or phone. And with Google's experience in NaCl, WebAssembly, WebGL, etc., it wouldn't surprise me if they figured out how to ship enough of the game locally but still do heavy processing on the server.

Of course, it's technically involved to make a local client for every video game they want to support. With local echo or even YouTube the scope of the problem is smaller.
This is the concept of [a "normal" number][0] (which is a strange choice of word, I think). Apparently pi is not proven to be normal. But the implication as I understand is that, yes, any given sequence that you'd care to look for is there somewhere.

And exactly my point. The parent comment stated a fact that could be true or not be true. And it's almost certainly something they read and therefore interpreted as significant an important fact. And that was what I was saying. All the info you read regardless of whether it is quoting an expert or not [1] comes 2nd hand and with nominal validity vs. people at Boeing being in a position (by the fact they employ and have access to actual experts) much better able to assess the danger. Of course I don't know if what you are saying is correct but that doesn't matter for the point I am making but thanks for making it just the same!

[1] Which assumes the expert is even being quoted correctly which as anyone knows is not always the case.

If I were an exec at a car company I would try to hold out as long as possible selling ICE vehicles. The differentiators that justify all the r&d, marketing and bureaucracy of a huge motor company just won't be there for the EV market. We're moving towards a market where cars are much more commoditized.

I imagine we will move towards a few companies creating crash-safe bodies that then get outfitted by lean "OEM"s that put the right size battery in, the right kind of leather seats, puts their badge on it and calls it good.

Existing car companies are too big for this kind of market, so they might as well go out doing what they're actually good at.
Feature branches really should be rebased to have clean self-contained logical commits prior to merging, and this goes beyond just making it easier to review (although that is an important point). It's good git hygiene!

No individual commit should break the build; one reason is to keep git-bisect working well for future users bug-hunting, without getting stopped because someone didn't keep the commits on their dev branch clean prior to merging (N.B., a maintainer should also reject such PRs). And keeping commits clean usually means needing to rebase occasionally to organize the commits.

And each commit should be reviewed individually, in addition to the whole of the branch / PR.

Not to mention that each commit should be logically laid out, with well-defined changes and well-written commit messages. This usually means needing to rebase a branch when developing non-trivial features or bug fixes, to fold in review feedback.

But as mentioned elsewhere, generally on feature / dev branches, the expectation is that the commits are unstable, subject to change, and should not be built upon (without prior coordination, at least).

Master and stable release branches, on the other hand, should never change or be rebased.

Your comment about debugging is much, much more applicable to monolith services than microservices. Digging into the bowels of a monolith service to trace the path of a service call is brutal, while even for spaghetti code microservices you can rely on the hard boundary between services (even when the boundaries were drawn poorly or correspond to the wrong abstractions) as a definitive type of binary search, as well as a much more natural and composable boundary for automatically mocking calls in tests or during debugging when isolating in which component there is a problem.
I feel like you're talking about your impression of the CIA and that somehow makes you think that this fairly unprecedented and odd event .... somehow must be them.

I also don't think people care like you think they care.

> the fleet average to be achieved by all new cars is 95 grams of CO2 per kilometre. This means a fuel consumption of around 4.1 l/100 km of petrol or 3.6 l/100 km of diesel.

This means nothing due to the idiotic way fuel consumption is calculated for PHEV. A 2+ ton hybrid SUV like the Volvo XC90 is rated as 2,1 liters/100 Km while it easily burns 10+ liters when the battery is empty or the electric engine can't keep up (i.e. on the highway).
My sister had high power, she went to a yoga class and learned some exercises - these were simple (twice a day, doing something simple like look up/down/left/right etc, plus she got a specific cup to wash her eyes) and her power went down quite a bit.

That doesn't mean they don't have a parking spot. Most flats include them and states are passing laws that say you can install chargers in your space. Street parking does need more chargers as well and cities are adding them.
> Look at the number of people driving around town in full-size SUVs or 4-door pickup trucks.

Unfortunately it is difficult to impossible to get a 2-door standard cab pickup truck any more. And forget a short bed.

I wish, wish, wish I could purchase a new Ford Ranger (ideally 4wd), with a standard cab and short bed - but that's an impossibility. I can't even get something comparable from any other manufacturer.

The only thing I've seen that may be possible is to get such a vehicle as part of a "fleet purchase" - it seems like you can get such a vehicle if you purchase a ton of 'em. But I'd have to somehow sneak one of those in (ie - know somebody buying a fleet and willing to do such a deal for me). So - zero chance there, too.

The sad thing is - Ford sold a version of the Ranger that was fully electric. It's range and hauling capacity were terrible (it used lead acid gel cell batteries), but it was an option back in the early 1990s. They didn't sell many; the few they did went to mainly electric utilities or enthusiasts.

The iPod is decidedly and dramatically simpler than an automobile in every way. The hardest part of the iPod was a commodity part the purchased (e.g. HDD).

What Apple did correctly was determine that the market would pay a lot more for an MP3 player if it was all around better than the competition. Then they kept up momentum by iterating and improving their design before the competition had a chance to respond.

In the audio player market, MP3 Players had significant advantages over CDs and other mediums that drove rapid adoption and since Apple was best in class they quickly developed a monopoly.

The Car market is very different, EVs do not have significant advantages over ICE and there is not rapid adoption so it's hard for a monopoly to develop. EVs currently have range-over-time limitations compared to ICE as well as much lower margins with much higher costs. Those limitations are being addressed but until they are, there's only so much makers can do to tempt buyers.
I couldn't agree more. I don't know if any of the commenters have built systems where lives or livelihoods are on the line; involving decisions where billions of dollars and many lives are at stake; nobody sets out to build unsafe systems or cut corners. The development process for aircraft is built with redundencies and multiple levels of validation; everything is tested and certified by internal and external experts. Software engineers fly on these planes monitoring their own software while in flight. I wonder how many people have trusted their own life with their code?
If an open standard has features that violate user privacy and don't provide sufficient value in exchange to justify it, it's reasonable to discuss violating or reforming that standard for the sake of privacy. The existence of a standard doesn't make the privacy issue go away.
