Car companies started going electric because California and Federal fuel standards require increasing fuel efficiency on a fleet basis, and the only way to achieve those goals is now through zero-emissions vehicles like hydrogen, fuel cell, or EV. Hydrogen tech and fuel cells are still too inefficient and expensive for consumer vehicles (especially given the rare-earth materials required for high-efficiency fuel cells). Batteries happened to get much cheaper due to their increasing use in non-vehicle electronics like cell phones, which made EVs the best choice from a tech and cost perspective.

In other words, Tesla didn't actually make car manufacturers "wake up and go electric." They were going to go electric anyway because it was the obvious tech choice.

Tesla's accomplishment was to show that people were finally ready to buy green cars that looked like normal cars. (The first hybrids and EVs from Toyota and Nissan looked like normal cars, and sold horribly. Toyota and Nissan introduced the butt-ugly designs because green car buyers back in the day wanted distinctive cars to show off their greenliness.)

t neither of those 2 things (Toyota's Prius 2, and California's green car incentives) were successful in making car manufacturers wake up and go electric.

California's green car incentives and fuel efficiency requirements are what drove most car companies to invest in green car tech in the first place.

Because politics is about feelings. The aim is for you to empathize and identify the politician. Conversely, evoke disgust and fear against your opponent. It’s the weakness of humanity being exploited.

Being gay doesn't carry the stigma that it used to, so consider a more serious charge: suppose I out you, rightly or wrongly, as a pedophile. (Note that merely being a pedophile is not illegal.)
I think the reason why this type of attitude gets mocked is that it seems robotic and condescending to emotion, as if emotion is not a real, legitimate source of information. It shouldn't be the only source of information (and maybe that's what you're getting at). But the idea that once emotion enters the picture, the discussion is no longer "rational" is stupid to me. Maybe that is a straw man.
I have math anxiety. I've been bad at math since I was a child. Mainly because I was hyper and had short attention span and neither of my parents were good at math, nor did we have money to get a tutor so my basic mathematical foundation has always been weak.

I'm 31 years old now with my BA in Computer Information Systems and I still don't know all of my multiplication problems from 1's to 12's, and have difficulty solving basic algebra problems.

I've always stated that I hated math, and that schools are always forcing students to learn certain types of math just to pass/graduate. Instead I think the schools should focus on math that the students can immediately start applying to their daily lives and jobs; no child working at a fast-food chain is going to even try to apply calculus to their job.

My issue is that not everyone learns or interprets the language the same. Some like myself take longer to process a problem to form a solution, but in school you're on a timed schedule so people like me struggle.

Also, some teachers only teach the way they learned and understood the language and don't really care or think that other students may learn from different ways/perspectives.

I know I can learn any type of math, I just need it explained and demonstrated to me in simple english that even a 5th grader could understand and not with college words that I need a dictionary to comprehend.

I secretly deep down want to be great at math and to learn and master, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, calculus, etc. so that I feel competent in the computer industry to solve basic and more advanced problems. But instead, I am reclusive and feel dumb and that I will never be great at any type of math discipline.

If I get hit by a bus, there is a list of people/companies that can take over the business and continue to develop/maintain it. And since it is a viable business, it will make sense for someone to take over.

Please note that getting hit by a bus should be considered in terms of probabilities: while possible, compare it to the near-certainty of "something" happening to a VC-funded business within 3 years, where none of the "somethings" are good for customers.

I don't understand how people can simultaneously hold this belief and then act surprised when others criticize the "green movement" as just an excuse to control people.

Modern personal transportation is one of the ultimate expressions of individual freedom. We're making it cleaner, we're reducing externalities, and still environmentalists want to herd people onto busses and trains.

Why are you trying to nit-pick the law based on the words the GP used in their gloss of it, rather than reading what the text of the law actually says?

The whole point of legal jargon is to say things in an airtight way. You cannot summarize legal jargon without removing the airtight-ness—lawyers really do use as few words as they can manage to get a concept across (in a loophole-less manner), so removing any single word further usually reintroduces a loophole. This implies that there is no point whatsoever in trying to poke holes in a law you only understand through summary, since it is vanishingly unlikely that the holes that appear in the summary appear in the law. You have to read the actual text.
Who says I take it at face value? Even if it was 100% non-serious shitposting, it would be sad.

I guess you're implying though that there's some sort of elaborate false-flag operation going on there?

I've seen debit card's with a points system at a credit union (just sharing so you can research) https://www.redwoodcu.org/personal/redwood-rewards I have no affiliation with them, had just been researching something similar a few months back.

I don't personally want to use a debit card for my everyday purchases, mostly for security reasons. I figure if I only use a credit card, then if the card gets compromised I can argue with my bank over the charges rather than asking them to put money back in my checking account while the fraud is investigated. Cashback on purchases is just icing on the cake.
Pagan Europe used to be more diverse before Christianity came over.

Just let's take Slavic folklore of Central/Eastern Europe with creatures like Baba Yaga (forest), Poludnitsa (summer fields, noon time heatstrokes), Rusalka (water), Vodnik (water) lot of fire and swamp daemons - everything which was considered harmful for kids.

These remains are still part of children education mostly with literature, rituals from pagan times and of course grand parents passing these stories.

That's also what I mean of course. All modern AWD systems and even just FWD/RWD cars use the ABS to do traction control with open-diffs. The base AWD system in a Subaru is three open-diffs and then ABS braking is used on any wheel that's slipping to make sure the torque still reaches the other wheels.

1. Why would smaller tires be any quieter?

2. Smaller rims do not mean smaller tires. On a given car model, the outside diameter of the tire will be essentially fixed. If they have multiple wheel diameters, the tire sidewall height will change to accommodate the wheel diameter. Technically smaller-diameter rims actually mean larger tires.
There are too much information these days. We literally don't have enough time to fact-check everything and therefor we pick the most believable version of a story and with that new info we shape our future selves.

"But you don't have to pick a side, just ignore this information altogether."
For most minor info this strategy works, but when the same piece of info appears repetitively over and over again you start to believe it subconsciously or it moves from "minor" to "major/important info" group which we can't simply ignore.
- afaik freestanding C specifies no standard library at all (except pure headers,) so bare metal targets providing libc are going beyond the standard.

- I'm just saying it doesn't need to specify who implements the standard library. I've read the standard before and I don't really recall this coming up, I'm just assuming this assertion is accurate.

(And of course, the overwhelming reality is that libc is provided by none of the compilers except Microsoft C, since Clang and GCC tend to be used with glibc.)

In my experience so far, "Amazon's Choice" is rarely what I'd choose. So I'd guess by now that its value (probably calculated using some sort of ML model trained on sales data) has been gamed to death by motivated substandard sellers (so it probably needs a refresh like Google refreshes its scoring function for web pages in response to SEO).

I've also noticed that sponsored products (which I don't want ever) are better targeted towards my queries by EBay. The difference seems to be that Amazon deletes keywords until it has something both sponsored and irrelevant to show and hopes for the best. That must have survived A/B testing, yuck.

What I think it comes down to is I'm an oddball that wants organic search results. I understand why Google messes with that to deliver ads, but for the life of me, I'm trying to help Amazon take my money and they're getting in my way and my larger purchases (>$100) are migrating away now because it's becoming impossible to find what I want, occasionally worked around by searching the Amazon catalog, ironically, from Google.

Regarding your first point, we see the same sort posts anytime there's an article about C/C++ or a vulnerability that states something about how unmanaged languages should be condemned. It's not restricted to just political topics.

And while they may have a point, they're often off-topic whataboutism. I believe it's a natural outcome of gamifying discussions with imaginary internet point rewards. The first and most eloquent post that's congruent with the hivemind "wins". It's just human nature.

I get your point, but have you ever found a theme that hasn't came along with an extraordinary amount of bloat, technical debt and featuritis?

Have you ever worked for an agency where a 'theme from Theme Forest' was deemed professionally acceptable?

The fundamentals have changed for web development but nobody gets off the hamster wheel to learn the fundamentals. The web doesn't have to be an obstacle course of hacks, polyfills, libraries, frameworks and other crutches any more. It also doesn't have to be full of fancy build tools, CSS compilers and other things that make web development accessible for the first time in 20 years.

I preferred to do my own homework when I was at school, not copy what everyone else thought the answers were, changing details around.

There is an intimidating thing going on with web development and the increasing specialisation. No one can hope of being able to create a web page due to this atmosphere. But so many people - a decade or two ago - got started writing actual HTML, not assuming it is all too hard and you have to just hack someone else's work. The industry is lacking these people now and is becoming less diverse.

Frontend development isn't a creative medium if people are just using frameworks from yesteryear and taking on technical debt from themes whilst busying themselves with the latest buzzword bingo. Things like content, accessibility and document structure matter, it is no good just going for a visual design and working backwards to the inevitable 'div soup'. Something has to change.

I would challenge you to read his papers, go to youtube and watch a presentation of his and see what he actually says, not repeat accusations from others against him. I think you will be surprised that he doesn't believe/teach most of what people accuse him of.

It's unlikely to matter in a Democratic presidential primary campaign, especially one where a number of candidates are going to try to use environmental issues as a key differentiator.
No, he's correct. This is a decision theory problem. Controlling false positives or false negatives at some arbitrary significance level like 0.05 is completely and utterly irrelevant. All of the debates above about which proportion test to use are irrelevant because none of them answer the question about which decision (keep current template or revert) maximizes utility (revenue). The hypothetical long-run rejection rate of a particular test in a world in which there is no difference between templates (which is a priori known to be false), has little or nothing to do with that.

Here, since he has no strong prior probability of the new version being bad, the switching costs are already sunk, and the evidence increases the posterior probability of the new version being better, and experimentation involves a high opportunity cost while being unlikely to yield a result indicating the new version is noticeably worse, keeping the new template probably is the correct decision.
It's a new plane. They kept the shape of the very popular 737, to the extent they could, purely for marketing purposes, even though this meant creating the first dynamically unstable ("wants to crash") civilian airliner in history, to keep that shape.

Ok, I see what you mean. Caveats: Android doesn't rely solely on sandboxing. They also do automatic scanning and do often find stuff [1]. I also wouldn't say malware is so bad it's "ubiquitous" on Android since it's in the news quite often but I don't think the average user is likely to encounter it?

My take on it is that current-generation sandboxes have permissions designed for security (preventing takeover by hackers), not privacy. In particular, preventing an app from phoning home isn't something they try to do. You can't have privacy without security so sandboxing is a prerequisite, though.

I've had an idea that I've been pinning to build for a while. I call it "the anachronism clock". The time piece is an old fashion pendulum. This is used to generate regular electrical pulses via point contacts. This signal would go to a series of electro-mechanical counters based on drums, motors, point contacts, and regions of non-conductivity. The counters would be arranged to output their position to mock nixie tubes built from LED's and plexiglass. Once an hour a tape recorder would be activated which will play a recording of the chimes of big ben.

The NIH is pretty poor at allocating research funds, and extremely bloated. The grant application process is kafkaesque, to the point where most investigators must hire an FTE just to deal with NIH paperwork.

Private foundations (e.g. HHMI, Wellcome Trust) already do a much better job. There's less overhead, less make-work for beauracrats, and overall higher-quality science.

I don't have first-hand knowledge of other disciplines, but I doubt that it's much different. Certainly SpaceX, Blue Origin, Orbital ATK have moved from design to implementation faster than NASA with the SLS (where 3 of every 4 dollars are spent on overhead).
