Our Pacifica PHEV has this. I was a bit disappointed when I learned that we couldn't have 100% silent EV mode (below 20 MPH or whatever), but it's not too bad.

I wonder if this is a transitional feature that can be phased out as EVs become more prevalent.
Not entirely sure about your last paragraph, but the rest is intriguing — reminiscent of Newton's "standing on the shoulders of giants" remark [0].

Or: Imagine a variation on the Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard: The grape pickers show up at the end of the growing season and do their thing. They demand to be paid the lion's share of the entire crop yield, because it was their specialized skill and hard work that produced the harvest. They conveniently forget about the earlier workers who had patiently planted and tended the vines — without which there'd have been no harvest .... [1]

As we all know, the best way to start a piece of political journalism is to instill and propagate hyperbolic and oversimplified views.
I think that dogma though was meant to address the situation in a global context. ie - More trade is strictly beneficial for the global population in aggregate.

But yeah, it's still trade, so there will be lows and highs, and ebbs and flows.

"A picture has emerged over the past half decade of a platform controlled by a small group of white men that is unwelcoming, if not hostile, to newcomers and women."

I still don't have much insight into this issue, but I worry about "too white, too male" being used as a standalone reason that change is needed. When race and gender make-up leads to bias, conflicting interests, or myopia on some issue, then it's a problem that needs addressing. It very often is, but it has to be demonstrated --we can't reason by analogy that all things demographically imbalanced are unjust.
The only part of that statement that is hyperbolic is that they literally breathe fire

That's a bit specific since OO is just used for reasons of history and inertia. I'm sure Thai has true/false and other mathematical terms, that's probably all that's needed.
I know the Kochs contribute to Cato, but it's a stretch to call them "libertarian" these days. I think they're opportunistic oligarchs. They meddle with their money. I wish they wouldn't.

Running things in a democratic fashion would require the rich to have far less influence than they currently do. Buying elections and policies is not democratic.

I have never understood US interventionism. It seems to have more to do with corporations making money than it does anything else. It's corporo-colonialism. Ugly, ugly business where intelligence agencies go in and destabilize countries in order to pave the way for higher levels of intervention and then the soft, undeclared wars start with Hellfire missiles killing off the opposition, and other targeted types of killings.
Seeing a programming language in your native language after working with English ones, you discover that it looks and sounds pretty ridiculous. My belief is that the native language is ingrained on a low level in the brain, so it's decoded ‘in the hardware’ and directly invokes meanings and associations, whereas a second language goes through at least some level of conscious processing. The very same way, I'm physically unable to shut off the brain's frantic search for meaning when I hear some inane song lyrics or advertisement in my native language—which causes suffering whenever I get near television. Meanwhile, I'm completely comfortable reading or hearing total drivel in English until I consciously try to interpret it. Similarly, I can't skim in English as fast as I do in my language.

This all brings me to the thought that native-English speakers probably have a rather different experience with programming languages, since the keywords must constantly invoke deeply ingrained associations but that's in turn modified by regularly seeing and thinking of them in the programming context.

Nothing, although some people will come up with explanations to say that “this article is interesting and that’s why it was upvoted” but the reality is, today is Sunday, and Sundays are always characterized by random —usually non-tech related— articles in the front page. I personally don’t mind it, this is a good way to learn about topics that usually people don’t talk about. To me, it feels like clicking the “Random Article” link on WikiPedia [1].

True, but one of them will be loved by Google, so their side will be widely visible, while the other will not. I don't see any incentive for the side in control of Wikipedia to not want this.
I have, but they never come from Microsoft employees. Story time:

Let's say you administer an Exchange server and need to make a configuration change to a mailbox. Normally, the Information Store will cache mailbox state for up to 20 minutes and you'll have to wait for your change to take effect. But let's say you really really need that change to happen right fucking now, then what?

Well, Microsoft support has your back: restart the Information Store service. While effective, this will also boot everyone's MAPI connections from the server and consequently pop up a giant scary warning dialog to all your Outlook users. Good job there guys.

Fortunately, there are knowledgeable wizards casually dropping in to these support threads every once in a while who can give you a real solution. In this case, it's running `Update-StoreMailboxState -Database <dbname> -Identity <mailbox GUID>`. Yeah, Microsoft actually made a fucking powershell commandlet that does exactly the thing you need, but support has no idea it exists and just throws up their hands and tells you to interrupt the workflow of the entire organization and generate a bunch of calls to the help desk.

>I've been programming for years, and I have no idea how to say 'software', 'hardware', 'class', 'inheritance', 'encapsulation', 'abstraction', 'refactoring' in Thai.

I'd argue that if you said most of these words to non-programmer native english speaker, they'd have the wrong connotations anyway.

Programming has become (is becoming?) an international language of its own (albeit with outsized influence from english). I think eventually it will be much like the latin used in science and medicine today.
I wonder if this is one of those things that kids should be taught to do safely, rather than just saying “don’t do that.”

Being hypoxic briefly isn’t likely to kill you. But doing it over and over and over, or using a plastic bag, or... fainting and hitting your head. Those are reasons you might die.
This appears to be a variation of "do a bunch of sit-ups quickly, with your back against the wall, stand up, hold your breath and let a comrade push on your solar plexus". Not sure about feeling high, but the faint rate is around 100%.

Whenever I test website optimisation (basic websites, no fancy-shmancy stuff, not web-apps) the slowest parts, least accessible too, are advertising and tracking, and social.

Google tells me the code to add to my page (for G+, advertising, analytics), then things like Google Lighthouse tell me don't do X, Y, Z that are all done by the code Google told me to use.

Minimise request size, leverage browser caching, defer parsing, ... they don't even minify? At least they enable gzip, Amazon ads don't even do that.

Load show_ads.js asynchronously ... well why not tell me to do that up front rather than after the fact in PageSpeed?

You presume Linux support is any better. You can't lie to me, I've seen it, I've tried to use it, it is at least as bad. From completely ignoring users when a canned answer doesn't work (how Microsoft of them) to condescendingly asking the user "why would you want to do that?" instead of answering their question, to just plain giving them the wrong fucking answer because it is outdated or based on some other distro's config.
Yea...if you're an OR/Applied Math guru, there is some magical stuff you can do.
I have had this problem as well.

In my case, I correctly removed EN-US, but it turns out that most times when I connected via RDP Windows automatically readded the layout since it was available on the connected station.

It's possible to a registry key to disable this behaviour:

Goto HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout and add a new DWORD Key "IgnoreRemoteKeyboardLayout" with value "1".

This solved the issue for me, Windows stopped adding EN-US.
> Employers would be forced to pay higher wages and people would be more easily to retrain for different jobs.

Labor has long been subject to outsourcing as a result of entities trying to reduce costs and increase profits.
Of course, no mention of inflation, the policy choice which robs from the poor and gives to the rich.

How does it rob from the poor?

https://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/02/13/the-case-for-hi...

"when you have very low inflation, getting relative wages right would require that a significant number of workers take wage cuts."

In other words, inflation is a policy choice to combat sticky wages, which (if you think that's a problem), the solution is to, apparently, screw labor by devaluing their wages from under them.

How does it give to the rich? The eroding value of the currency all but forces individuals and, e.g. pension funds, to dump resources into the stock market, venture investments, etc, which are largely playgrounds of the economically advantaged.

It also has unfortunate side effects like consumerism and environmental destruction, but that's outside of the scope of the OP.

The timing lines up, too. What happened 50 years ago that caused the divergence? With the ending of Bretton Woods, Nixon closed the gold window which was the last thing holding back policy from rampant inflation.
Seeing anything in computers using my native language feels wrong. I think it’s because I learned how to use computers before I learned English well.

For example I learned that to print a line in Pascal you use writeln() at 12 or so. It didn’t occur to me until 10+ years later that writeln is shorthand for “write line”. To me it’s just a symbol with no meaning outside that particular context.

Hard disagree. Managers aren't omnipotent and getting feedback from people that somebody collaborates with is useful. This is usually positive feedback and is very useful for identifying strengths! Sometimes this is negative feedback and it becomes essential to debug the issue.

Libertarians support individual liberty and constrained government; they don't necessarily support democracy (though this does not necessarily imply supporting dictatorship).

https://reason.com/2018/11/10/libertarian-critiques-of-democ...

From some libertarians perspective; it's more important to constrain the power of government than to do so in a democratic fashion. The proposed ways of enforcing constrained government vary considerably though.

Your comment is problematic for responding to because it is not clear if it is asking a question (and which question) or is it trying to say something between the lines. But I will try anyway:

Essentially you are trying to say that Fram is a harasser because he got a warning from T&S. But that is not how T&S works. They (as far as is publicly known) react to any reports of misbehavior with (without investigation) trying to deescalate the situation by asking to stop interaction between concerned parties. Usually this only applies to Wikimedia staff, contractors, participants at Wikimedia events, etc. The fact that Fram even got a "warning" from the T&S is quite damning for T&S because they usually do not meddle in such stuff as was happening between him and LauraHale (for the uninitiated, she was writing a lot of, let us say it bluntly, crap articles and edits [0]; and he was, as a good editor, trying to fix those edits repeatedly), because of the implicated power that you can have over the Wikimedia communities by knowing someone on T&S and/or the Board.

[0] She was writing duplicate paragraphs and mistranslating from a language she does not speak in an absurd manner.

Edit: I deleted unfounded speculation I made against LauraHale. Sorry.

The thing is that indeed one of the very valid benefits is that with open source the solution is almost never "just reinstall". Because at least you have the tools to investigate and fix the problem right to the deepest level.

E.g. I have an issue where Thunderbolt ports suddenly stop working -- the symptom is that I hear the device connected chime immediately followed by the device unconnected chime. Event log is empty. Impossible to debug -- there's nothing else to tinker with. System restore worked.

Linux -- there is a kernel flag that forces the BIOS to power on the controller and whatever. Ohmygosh I had to open a terminal, but at least I didn't had to reinstall.

And please don't come with "given the choice of opening a shell and digging in or just reinstall, I would choose reinstalling 100% of the time", because then it answers the question of the OP.
That doesn't explain why inequality within the US keeps growing. As a whole the country is doing well but somehow the benefits go a small number of people while everybody else is stagnating.
It's stable now and implemented in all major browsers.
China needs to adjust their official target of 6-6.5% GDP growth per year - it is completely unsustainable and has caused far too many risks to be taken in order to maintain it.

Unless they want the bubble to pop? I can't imagine the social upheaval it would cause there (and throughout the rest of the world)

This particular - mostly US centric - discussion is something that is best kept off Hackernews, IMO.

While discussing an individual, nuanced community upheavel in a important part of the modern web is interesting, there are better public forums for generalized, socio-political topics.

Primehack CREDIT FIX repaired my credit
I was in a terrible situation sometime last year. We urgently needed to get a new house, my credit score and that of my wife was bad (350). We tried all we could to get a loan but all efforts were in vain due to the bad credit score, I later read reviews about PRIMEHACK CREDIT FIX , I explained my credit issue to him he gave me some instructions and requested some information from me regarding my credit score in which I provided everything to them. Luckily for me, they were able to fix my credit score from 350 to 750, I was so amazed. You can contact them via their email or number PRIMEHACKCREDITFIX@MAIL.RU/ +1 (737) 237 7558 for similar need and get your credit solved.
And it's not even about English, but about a subset of ASCII on a QWERTY layout - symbols that are inputtable and explicitly marked on pretty much any keyboard. Whether most keywords in a programming language are in English or not is not even relevant. I mean if all keyboards had Greek symbols on them we would have an article about non-Greek-based programming languages.

It's a good thing, I agree. There is no reason to worry either, as uncommon hard to input unicode symbols in the core language is such a huge usability failure, that those languages simply have no chance of gaining any significant mind share.

Would love to see evidence to support what you are saying. Trump did pull out of Syria, at Russia's request, but has increased threats towards Iran and Venuzuela, not to mention unbridled support for SA war in Yemen (including attmepting to bypass Congress to sell them more weapons -- which is contrary to what you are asserting).
A hashtag would get censored, they frequently do this.
I'm actually kinda excited by them dropping 32-bit support. There are so many awful applications I've had to use for work, like VPNs or a print application or license server, that just suck battery life, force-open themselves at login with no way to disable, aren't optimized for retina, crash all the time, etc, and they haven't been maintained in years since they still "work". But this will force some maintenance to happen. I realize they could still suck on 64-bit but at least they'll have to be looked at again.
Sanger hasn't been involved with Wikipedia since 2002. Calling him the "Wikipedia cofounder" is, at this point, a little misleading.
It depends on how you intend to 'score' the estimate.

Are you looking for the answer that is the 'most likely', or one that has the 'lowest least squared error', or maybe one that is 'unbiased' (mean error)?

Costco's thing is that they're bulk quantities at a lower price. They'll either have larger bottles/bags/cans, or they'll package 2+ of the regular ones together.

At my local supermarket, I can buy a single onion if I'd like. If I want a them pre-bagged, it's a 3LBs bag. At Costco, the option is a 10LB bag. 5LBs bags of mozzarella. 5LB and 10LBs bags of carrots.

It's a great place to shop, especially for large families/groups, but if you're a small household then it will lend towards over-buying, simply because you can't get a 1-2 person quantity of most things. This morning, I walked to the store and bought a single avocado. If I'd gone to Costco, I would've had to get a bag of five. (Which is surprisingly few for Costco.)

Here's a product list for Costco: https://queenbeecoupons.com/costco-price-list/

In my experience, the documentation of how any given system in a Linux Desktop is actually put together and actually gets anything done is so lacking that you've spent hours pulling apart a tangled mess of awful before you can even begin to see what the issue really is.

I'll grant, however, that modern Windows often manages to be even more convoluted than that.
Another point: I was chatting with my brother yesterday, who's working in the construction, only for flats and apparently the current building code makes it nearly impossible to have central AC in an appartement building; end result some people will use a portable unit and drill a hole or run it with an open window

> It is not feasible to have generators to operate at this Scale?

Getting an exact figure on how much utility power they use is proving difficult, but let’s shoot on the very high side and say it’s 100MW. It’s fairly easy these days to buy generators that put out 10MW of power and are either diesel or natural gas powered. Price wildly varies based on a number of factors, but even on the very high end that would cost $50M for ten such generators.

The facility itself was in the multiple billions range to build, so the added cost would be a rounding error. The environmental hazards alone due to losing containment, let alone how much the outage costs in lost business, seems pretty logical to me then that the generators existed.

So the question really is, was it incompetence (unexpected failure of backup systems) or malice (good excuse to justify constraining supply)? We will likely never know.
This is irrelevant to your point, but mad props. Your written English is superb-I would absolutely assume you’re a native speaker.
Don't underestimate Soviet industrial capabilities during the war. The Soviets produced over 58K T-34 type tanks compared to Germany producing 37K (PzIII through Pz6).
