Go ahead and find the EVs that aren't Tesla that beat the 2012 Model S's 265 miles of range and are on the market right now. They don't exist.

The 2020 Porsche Taycan (300 miles), 2020 Mercedes EQC (293 miles), 2019 Audi E-Tron (204 miles), 2019 VW e-Golf (125 miles), 2019 BMW i3 (126 miles) still don't beat my 2018 Model 3 LR AWD (325 miles). On the most recent TSLA Investor's call, Musk said that Tesla isn't far from 400 mile batteries. Additionally, they just bought Maxwell Technologies known for their work on ultracapacitors to improve lithium ion battery efficiency. More electric vehicles also forces more policy makers to think seriously about EV charging infrastructure and helps sway public opinion. More EVs on the road is a net win for Tesla.
The Pi 3 is no less usable than it was before the announcement. Why bother getting a Pi 4 when you haven't found a use for your 3 yet? I still use a Pi 2 with no complaints.

One downside to the 4 is that it is moving from the low power to laptop realm in terms of power consumption which was my main interest in them. If top performance is what you care about, the Raspberry Pi is the wrong place to go looking for it.
It depends. If the investors have the money and no crazy loans it just means that the lower price range is not available for the individual buyer anymore.

I've run into the same. It often would come back from a reboot without DNS restarted correctly. I never went through a Pi Hole update without having to manually fix things either.

A few weeks ago I switched to Ad Guard Home. Has been rock solid since. The big dancehaus it doesn't support the exact same filter files.
An important use of well known easy to type IP addresses is when you're mucking around to figure out if your upstream network isn't working. I could see if they attempted to set a new standard by just not responding to ICMP at all (although turning around an icmp echo takes less work than a DNS lookup...), but responding intermittently is actively harmful.

Pittsburgh is a town that (used to be) run by steel. Even a few decades after that dominance, this particular company is still a $4B one on the S&P 400. I'm pretty sure this is the company that my grandfather worked at for decades; his brother did from high school to retirement (except during World War II). They apparently significantly polluted the air in the high school district next to mine ten years ago.

It doesn't surprise me at all that they are still a part of infrastructure, somehow.
I rarely see others mention it but I have a pet theory that grade inflation makes school more stressful. When A's are expected, a single bad day can easily sink a semester of effort. Additionally, as you say, grades don't leave much room for students to distinguish themselves positively anymore. Student have little room to excel, but every day is a chance to screw up.
The reason these dialects (I am a speaker of this) are dying is that they are discouraged at a young age by the school systems and parents who are worried that dialects like these are seen as "unintelligent" and will cause everything from bullying by children at school, to being turned down for interviews, jobs and even college.

My mother was disciplined for it repeatedly. I had to take "speech therapy" until I was much older when there was a bit of backlash growing against it locally - That was as recent as the late 90s.
Oh, no, there don't seem to be any penalties. I only get a few failed transactions here and there anyway, but so far it's been 100% "legitimate transaction getting restricted", so I trained myself to raise the limit.
I used to be the same. After 6 months of use and getting use to not accidentally hitting the touch bar I changed it back to the dynamic setting.
That said, I still don't use it except for volume, which was part of the standard set of keys.
It is a little more complicated than that. Cars have all sorts of emissions beyond their engines (brake dust, tire rubber, micoplastics etc). The simpler, lighter, not-BMW car will have fewer of these emissions. Keeping and older car on the road longer, reducing the need to generate a shiny new vehicle, can also reduce emissions.

A Lithuanian here.

> But Lithuania has a sizable Russian population [1]. It's also a small country.

The Russian population (5%) is a tiny minority here, not represented by any political party in the parlament. It's much bigger (25%) in Latvia and Estonia, as Russians tend to live in the cities near the Russian border[1].

> The latter means it has less experience supervising novel and complex financial systems. It also makes its regulators easier to unduly influence, either through bribery or threats

In this case, there is a common view in Lithuania, that as a tiny economy we should focus on IT sector and follow Estonia's example, trying to be the most modern and innovative state in the EU.

Therefore, there is an entire goverment program for attracting and supporting fintech companies[2], hoping that they will open offices in Lithuania and employ recent graduates, preventing them from fleeing to Western Europe for better job opportunities.

Of course, it makes no financial sense to give a banking license to a foreign startup for such a small economy, but Revolut is extremely popular in Lithuania and the general population sees it as an alternative to Scandinavian banks which have occupied the local market.

As a result, those policitians who have tried to oppose giving the license to Revolut were publicly attacked from all sides as "working on behalf of Scandinavian banks".

It's actually hilarious to me that you think this could possibly be true.
You don't need to make all schools free. Just public schools.

If any school wants to be free, they need to implement the federal pay bands.

Get rid of subsidized student loans as well. There's no reason we should be subsidizing predatory tuitions.

Today we have hyper globalized financial systems and if a country implements taxes like this the big players just move their money elsewhere. This only ends up hurting middle class folks who are playing by the books. I think it would make much more sense to have a very simple tax system (a few percent on every capital gain or income, wether corporate or personal) and get rid of every other complexity and loophole. If America had one of the lowest corporate tax rates many companies would locate headquarters here and bring that few percent of billions of dollar we wouldn't have otherwise.

I also think we could create a special administrative and economic zone (without minimum wage) in the first 50 miles of southern border and allow anyone to come work there from all over the world. This would create a pathway for people to come here legally and have civic and language classes to help integrate. We could pick the best and brightest from this zone for citizenship which I think is a more fair system. Before you dismiss this idea as colonial consider that this area would have the same human rights and laws as the rest of the US just with low wages, this would be better working conditions than most places on earth with similar wages while also providing a defined channel to gain US citizenship.
Is the specific IP range of the leak known ?
Sure, but we're talking about directional shifts. Do you want Amazon to move in the direction of being a laissez faire platform that is open to everyone? Or do you want it to move in the direction of being a tightly controlled ecosystem where all merchants are at the whims of Amazon's corporate overlords? Your suggestion would move Amazon towards the latter
To be fair, the people reacting like this are reacting because they think that pulseaudio, gnome, and systemd have been damaging to the linux desktop community. Even though you're characterizing them as "a few paid developers and a bunch of enthusiast volunteers," they're representing a few large companies (or mainly one in particular) that have the weight to push through their opaque designs into upstream distributions, even when they don't quite work yet.

You may admire them for the challenges they've undertaken, but many wish they had either come up with more transparent/unixy solutions to those challenges, or instead had taken up others, like chess or rock-climbing.

That being said, systemd and pulseaudio have reached a point of stability for me, which is good, because unlike most other things on my system, there's no way I could fix a problem that came up without a support contract.
gRPC has been solid for us on the JVM, and streaming has been great when consuming from Apache Flink jobs, integrating with message queues, receiving push notifications and so on. For async work it's useful to have more than just request/response.

> I'd prefer to sidestep the leadership issue since it's going to bring up a million and one questions that are going to get philosophical.

That's fair--I think all I'd like to agree on here is that it's not useful to pretend that parties aren't majority wealthy when you weight for actual power rather than simply counting people.

One subtlety in my initial statement that I didn't really explain was that it's not necessary to be wealthy in order to believe that your family will be wealthy in the future.

> Romney was pro-choice, until he wanted to be president. Biden was against federal funding for abortions, until he wanted to be president. It's unlikely their personal views ever changed, but a politician's job is to get elected - and so what a politician says or advocates and what a politician believes don't necessarily have all that much in common.

This points to another issue, which is that "liberal" and "conservative" are really problematic groupings of ideas. Abortion has nothing to do with climate change, but it's usually impossible to vote on one without taking a stance on the other.

> On the predictions issue, I fully agree with you. And I find it disappointing that debates on this topic in general tend to avoid this actual core issue - should we trust the current predictions, or not? And like you mention there are varying degrees there. So the real question is should society's trust of climatologists' trust of themselves be high enough to justify large scale change, or not?

I don't know if I would say I "trust" climatologists, but I believe that they are presenting the best information we have, and I believe that we should always operate on the best information we have, rather than simply doing what's profitable.

> Instead debates are people just straw manning one another to no end, which results in both sides thinking the other is full of idiots. No progress is made, divisions are deepened, and further amicable discussion becomes ever more unlikely, all this in turn means any sort of lasting change becomes ever less likely.

To be clear, I don't think that (most) conservatives are stupid or malicious, and I think that too often liberals have done liberal ideologies a great disservice by making that assumption.
Spanner vs. Calvin: Distributed Consistency at Scale
I think there are a couple of things that as a society we’ve failed to do to different extents;

1. Promote vocations and vocational schools (some people are better off here). It could be the traditional HVAC, welder, nurse or new types like front end development, aspects of IT.

2. Price loans according to prospects. Getting a loan for literature or writing should cost more than a loan for biology, informatics or medicine. Obviously predicting future demand is imperfect, but we also know what majors will likely have low demand into the future.

Appreciate the info! Matrix does seem like the most likely for us.

Sidenote, has Matrix discussed priced offerings? Eg, I'm always concerned about OSS projects funding. I'd love if Matrix offered a, for example, purchasable hosted option that gave them a funding model beyond donations (which are problematic for obvious reasons). I know this is less of an issue for self hosted FOSS, but still.

edit: Interesting, the Riot.im page has a link to Modular.im. I see it's "from the creators of Matrix", does that fund Matrix too? /me continues to dig

Originally the Bassman was a 50 watt amplifier with a pair of 6L6 tubes, this is enough power to allow a solid-body bass guitar to play cleanly only about as loud as a regular acoustic string bass.

For bass guitar, there was no need for reverb or tremolo so those tube effects were not included on Bassmans. 6-string guitarists sometimes found these Bassmans more gainful at maximum volume than the non-bass Fenders having equivalent power and tube complement. A single pair of 6L6 (about 50W) for guitar will be loud enough to keep up with an acoustic drum kit for lots of blues and soft rock, while bass guitar actually needs about 300W.

With a loud drum kit and a heavy-hitting hard rock acoustic drummer, then I naturally recommend a 100W fullstack for guitar and 400W for bass.

The circuitry of the Bassman is not designed for big differences in frequency coverage compared to the non-bass vintage Fenders. The Bassman was primarily a regular no-frills 50W head, and for actual bass use within its power level (like in studios) it achieved lower lows because of use with a closed-back cabinet.
>I don't think these are Google's customers or users.

Think about how both yelp and TripAdvisor both built out their websites to comply with Google SEO rules (for organic search) and used Google AdWords (to pay for keyword ads to drive traffic and convert sales).

Google used their market dominance to learn everything about these markets and created competitors to both yelp and TripAdvisor. Google’s spin off companies then bid up the same adword keywords (so where yelp and TripAdvisor May have paid $1/click now google is bidding them up to $2 and these businesses can either pay or lose out to these new google businesses).

Google shouldn’t be able to use their market position to enter new markets in order to drive up costs to their existing ad customers and ultimately the end users.

How to refactor business logic into services (via ASP.NET)
You may find that due to your socioeconomic status it may be more feasible to be a one car-transit using family, but for many americans who may work two jobs with a hour break between them (or situation similiar) they seriously may only manage to be able to make their schedule work with a car. (Just an example situation)

Being car-less in America is hard, I lived in a the suburb of a main city and if I was to use transit options to get to work I would have spent 3 hours a day on commute alone. That's simply not feasible. Similarly I used to work a job from midnight to noon (and a year later noon to midnight) and there simply was no feasible transit option for such a schedule, and with the sprawling nature of the suburb carpooling wasn't much of an option either.

I find it odd that the words 'consent' and 'permission' don't appear anywhere in this article.

> Once big auto moves to EVs, what will happen to Tesla?

I am very skeptical that this is ever going to happen, at least in any meaningful way. It's been pretty well established over the past couple of decades that corporations cannot steer away from their core profit centers, and thus far the auto manufacturers have done nothing to disprove this theory. So far, they have almost exclusively done nothing other than announcing future plans, but have not been able to pivot away from their core competencies.

There is a widespread belief that it is inevitable that Detroit, etc., will start producing EVs, and once they do so that Tesla will be crushed in very short order. I have seen no evidence to support this belief, despite Tesla having been in the market for over a decade.

So say you replace it with a DateRange class so you end up with

range1 = new DateRange(start1, end1);

range2 = new DateRange(start2, end2);

DateRange overlapRange = GetOverlap(range1, range2);

You still don't know what happens when start1 is greater than end1?

What happens when they have no overlap? What does overlap return if it doesn't return null?

What happens if start1 and end1 are in local vs UTC time?

What happens if range1 and range 2 are in local vs UTC time?

When you get overlapRange.Duration.Days is this days in 24 hr increments or days by date?

And this is a really simple example. Things like ORMs are very leaky abstractions which make this mcuh worse.
