What a very ill-informed comment. Fats like olive oil are extremely good for you, especially those high in polyphenols. It can help significantly with coronary heart disease and lower cholesterol levels - the calories are far from empty.

But that's not the big roadblock to nuclear power. The main obstacle is that it's grossly uneconomic. Even in locations where the locals are nearly 100% for reactor, the reactors are not being built. The people controlling the money don't see them as good investments.

That doesn't help you own a domain name. That just lets you configure DNS for domains.
Sure, because we have fire, shelter, insulation, clothes, a virtually endless supply of food, medicine, safe/clean potable water, etc.

Evolution started without any of those.
The market share is small, but my point is that it will converge to 100% within one to two decades, with increasing pressure to move that deadline to the left. Maybe not globally, but at least in some markets (China, India, EU).

In the transition some will win and some will lose. So far the German automakers have not looked at this drastic market shift seriously... It needs to change if they want to stay relevant.
What else would it mean that would not include the possibility to purchase a domain name for this purpose?
Wow that's a huge issue and I'm amazed I was totally ignorant of it until just now. Looks like my last modem upgrade happened just before Arris switched to Puma 6.
Doug Demuro is a car guy. He's not an idiot and he does know what he's talking about. Of course he tries to make it entertaining, but he's not pulling anything out of his ass.

I would be more interested in Randy Pobst's opinion on handling and performance, but Doug is certainly equal to any other bog-standard auto journalist.

Screw up 1% of the modules in a solar farm and output is down 1%.

Screw up 1% of the concrete pours for a nuclear power plant and it's a disaster.

The distributed nature of wind and solar makes building them, and training the workforce to build them, easier.
Tesla has killed one of BMWs biggest market - California. The number of Model 3s on the road far surpasses newer 3 series and this can only be the canary in coal mine. All Tesla needs to do is build out a similar Supercharger infrastructure in other big cities like we have in Bay Area and Los Angeles and it is going to be very tough for BMW to compete.
As a citizen of the Czech Republic, it's quite interesting seeing the outcome of the EU elections, since a lot of the people considered their campaign to be quite vague and overall not very good. I was personally a fan, because the alternatives were quite abysmal.
His analyses are generally pretty good for things you notice and interact with everyday (like another user mentioned, the quirks and features). He knows when he sees bad quality, mistakes, and oversights in a car's UI/UX and design.

However, his opinion is usually based on a few days of driving and using the car, and does not reflect how ownership of the car will actually pan out. He attempts to take this into account with his "daily doug score". But by no means is this entirely accurate, and is more so a reasonable estimate based on the manufacturers history, that model, and consumer reviews.

I generally take his analyses as "This is what I thought after driving the car for a few days" and is based on his opinion, his preferences, and his thoughts. I would take his opinion into account for a rental car, but not so much when it comes to owning a car for its lifetime.

He generally owns luxury cars or sports cars that are out of reach for most people, and I'm sure he has spent a lot of money on them (although it may be worth it if they appreciate in value). He has a different need in cars than I, and probably than most people.

You mean, when due process, personal freedoms and democracy were observed by those "colonialists".
Maybe and the point about bonuses is so sadly true, but then they are never negative when things fail, maybe they need to swing both ways in such positions and install a truer sense of accountability.

Perhaps another way of implementing that would be that bonuses are held in escrow for a number of years, the employee is allowed to get interest free loans against those escrow bonuses up to a point perhaps, yet those bonuses will equally be open to adjusting for bad years.

Which reminds me of the reinsurance industry and names, those who invest. Even when they leave, they are still liable for future claims for a number of years, a notice period. That's fair and works.
This sounds like what happens if the buyer does a CC chargeback IIRC. You get no notifications, money just disappears.
I have been doing BJJ for a few years and while it's not the perfect "ego filter" that some people claim, I have found it extremely effective in teaching coping skills. It's almost been too effective, in the sense that workplace behavior (when directed at me) that is 100% unacceptable often doesn't bother me enough to say anything.

In my experience, once you've spent a few hundred hours having physically larger people literally choke you at full intensity and practicing how to stay calm and methodically turn the tables, very little in the workplace impacts your calm.

> Yet another article framing dystopian levels of surveillance as only bad if they malfunction

Seriously, it's amazing how well framing a conversation works to divert it.

Where are all the comments about the stasi, securing databases, corrupt law enforcement, and not collecting information in the first place? Instead we're arguing over what percentage of "innocent" people can be hassled by the total surveillance state for it to be acceptable.
Do you think that such obtuse terminology was accidental? I promise you it wasn't.
OneWeb launched before SpaceX, but they’re all copying Teledesic/Iridium.
No I am sorry they aren't trying to help the 48%. They want to remain. That isn't trying to help the 48% that is trying to overturn the vote. You are playing around with words.

They WANT TO REMAIN, the country VOTED TO LEAVE. That is undemocratic. They have democrat in the name, yet do not support the largest exercise of democracy in the UK ever.

> One of which is that "brexit" is a nebulous concept which keeps changing depending on the direction of the wind. I distinctly remember all prominent leave politicians saying we could stay part of the single market. Now they say that was never the plan. This is treating the UK population as intellectually bankrupt.

On the ticket "Leave the European Union". That means Leaving the EU, if the single market is part of that we leave it.

Now just because some politicians want to confuse and conflate things and pretend "Leave" means things other than what most people would think "Leave" means that is doesn't mean Leaving the European Union is a nebulous concept.

> But perpetuating the "will of the people" meme is incorrigible considering that even the referendum that took us into the EU was followed up with a confirmatory referrendum 2 years after.

We aren't joining the EU, we were joining EEC. This is nothing like the EU of today.

Some might argue we never voted to join.

That's bullshit and you know it. They may be naive thinking an internet company like Grub Hub will act decently, but that doesn't make the restaurant operators wrong.

It's too bad software developers and startup people don't have to go through a course on ethics to gain certification like professional engineers do.

Yeah, well I don't think you'd get a 4-core Atom for the same price, so maybe not so good compared to the Pi4 then.
No, Toyota's Prius pushed hybrids. By the time it wanted to push pure EVs, Tesla was a much more established EV brand.

Same with the electric RAV4, which I believe was the first EV in the past 20 years or so. They made it, and then barely changed anything at all to it 20 years later.

Toyota doesn't care about EVs and never did, even when it struck them in the face.
If the business owners didn't understand what they were signing — not misunderstood, but simply couldn't figure it out, as seems most likely here — but they signed it anyway instead of figuring it out or asking an expert, I can't see how they have anyone to blame here but themselves. I'm not even being intentionally contrarian, as I sometimes might; I really can't see why GrubHub is being blamed.
The i3 was really good in what way? Around here nobody owns one, and it seems BMW has been dumping them into the rental market with the "REACH NOW" program.
Obviously the circuit system is Turing complete on purpose, but I believe the belts and splitters may be Turing complete on their own, which would definitely be accidental and surprising to most.
Why would this turn into a recall? AFAIU, this is just an inconvenience, not a show-stopper since it only affects high-end cables.
> The Tesla broke usual electric car strategy by making something hot not utterly lame and stodgy[1]. Which is what all electric cars were until then. The economics of that actually worked.

Tesla did a great job at making EV cool, there's no question about it.

BUT, economics of that are still TBD. They still fail to achieve any sustainable profit as a business, few years after their mass market vehicle debuted, and have to keep on raising money, on very unfavorable terms.
The UK doesn't have cash bail, so nobody is stuck in pre-trial detention simply because they can't afford to buy their freedom. It doesn't have elected prosecutors, judges or sheriffs. It incarcerates less than a quarter as many people per capita. It doesn't have three-strike laws and uses mandatory minimum sentences only for an extremely limited number of serious offences.

The UK is far from perfect, but most of the criticisms of the American criminal justice system simply don't apply.
Cells with such a coating would still appear dark to the human eye because the visible spectrum contains the peak of sunlight's energy distribution and you want to convert that to energy (you could optimize around the UV/violet range since the excess photon energy gets converted to heat there). But there's a broad limb of IR in the distribution that is useless because it's below the bandgap of most PV materials, that's the part you want to reflect. But then again inside the IR range there's the IR window, where you don't want to be reflective to increase emissivity to shed heat into space.

I have read research papers about such coatings, but I don't know whether they're in commercial use.
«somebody makes a car that can run the AC without running/draining the battery while it's parked»

Temperatures could be reduced significantly with a car modification that uses very little energy: a small fan to circulate and replace all inside air with outside air, and a one-piece reflective foil cover on top of the car, covering the entire windshield + roof + sides + rear windshield.
Right now? Single digits. But right now does not matter.

The marketshare of electric vehicles globally will be > 90% in the future. And not "the future" like some Star Trek utopia.

Ireland has committed to no new petrol/diesel cars from 2030 onwards. UK has committed to 2040 but is likely moving that to 2030. Other countries in the EU will follow with similar timelines.

This is in just over 10 years. If your cars all need to be electric by 2030, you need to have already put in place the strategy to do that and be already implementing your manufacturing chain. If it's 2040 you have a bit more time, but you would still want to be doing it within the next 5 years.

Build tools like lein or Maven attempt to build a "declarative" definition of a project and then apply a set of plugins to that model using an implicit lifecycle. In reality, simple projects don't need that complexity and complicated projects only match 80% to either the lifecycle or the plugins available, so you end up wedging imperative things onto the build, hunting down obscure plugins, or hacking your own. Other build tools (like boot, or even Ant) acknowledge that builds are actually programs built from similar tasks.

deps was designed to find a sweet spot in the middle of this with deps defined as data, aliases capturing program executions as data, but builds as programs. As such, the scope is drastically narrowed in deps to just a) building classpaths (by resolving dependency graphs) and b) launching programs.

As such, this tends to be a dramatically simpler model to start with (your initial deps.edn can be empty), and a model that is easy to understand as you scale up. I think there is more to do in how we model "tools" (esp tools shared across projects) and program composites, but nothing prevents you from building these yourself if needed (as you have the full power of Clojure at your disposal).

You can find a pretty comprehensive list of deps.edn tools at https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/Tools

This article tries to ask the question: who should earn more, the workers or the CEO? The problem is that this completely misses the point.

When a company faces steep competition, the CEO, like a famous general, is absolutely worth whatever they earned if they succeed at keeping the company alive. A properly functioning market should have lots of dynamic competition. So the mere fact of some CEOs earning lots of money is not by itself alarming to me, because it may simply be an indicator that smart, talented people are competing to best serve the needs of an important competitive market.

However, when a company is not facing any competition, I concede that the CEO may not be adding much value. If fat CEO paychecks are happening in a static, uncompetitive market, then I would agree that we have a problem.

Nonetheless, the central question is about markets and competition, not half-baked moral judgments about how much someone "deserves". This article frames the question in completely nonsensical terms.
Ignorance isn't a real excuse here, definitely not enough to make me take sides between two businesses.

If you shipped the product, you most certainly lost $100, plus whatever additional labor costs were involved in attempting resolution.

There's also the opportunity cost of having that cash illiquid, even if you do win the dispute in the end. Money's time is worth money.

Terrifying power? Amazon has succeeded by getting customers what they want, and doing it cheaper, faster and more conveniently than their competition. Of all the tech companies to be cynical about, they most obviously make people's lives better, and expanding their reach (along with the "ancillary benefits" of giving people access to the internet...) is a moral good.

Really, this knee-jerk paranoia is difficult to understand. If Amazon stops serving its customers well it'll go out of business. If it pisses people off it'll go out of business. If it tries to break the law it'll go out of business. It has limited power -- effectively none compared to any kind of government -- and no ambitions, incentives or clear paths to acquire that kind of power.

Sand type definitely matters for water body ability to hold water. I have read articles where Indian ponds/lakes(used in older India for conserving water) were completely destroyed by Britisher's in attempt to clean them. They disturbed the existing floor composition leading to higher water percolation which dried the lake quickly.
Just brainstorming here, hopefully someone can further develop those ideas.

- I think it should feel more like a game than a social network. More like Pokemon Go than Facebook. I'd gamify as much as possible.

- Some people want to plant trees and are able to do so. Others aren't. Maybe they don't have the time, or they live in a concrete jungle. I think the project should focus on both segments.

- Those who can't plant, whatever the reason, may want to donate to projects that would plant. And those who can plant, may need guidance (where to buy seeds? where to plant? what to plant? etc). This website should facilitate both cases, as much as possible.

- Let's say that for each dollar donated, one tree is planted. That number (trees "remotely" planted by the person) should be made public, as some sort of virtual currency.

- Ideally, trees planted as proxy (via donation) would be photographed and shown to the donor. Unfortunately that's not practical.

- I think each person should have their own profile (with their own name, picture) and they could create a "sub-profile" for each tree. Not sure about this. But having a separate profile (login) per tree would actually be a problem for those planting lots of trees.

- (Or, using a better analogy for "sub-profile", people = Github profile, trees = Github repositories)

- This "sub-profile" could be similar to a Facebook group. You can post "life events" of the tree, photos, comments, etc. You can browse other people's trees (and their own, actual profile as well).

- Each tree planted by the users may have a location at the world map (provided by the user). This way we can show nearby trees and fellow "tree planters".

- We can have mini-games like "visit/photograph/'collect' trees near you". Similar (to a certain point) to Pokemon Go. When completing such mini-games the person is rewarded with the virtual currency.

- People may use the virtual currency with their own trees or others' trees. Not sure actually what they could spend it on.

- I really like the idea on sister comment from @secfirstmd. I think integrating related concepts further improves the platform.

Also, something important to remember, is that this website alone likely wouldn't get anywhere near OP's objective of 1 trillion trees, but it certainly can make an impact on awareness, or at the very least increase people's contact with nature (even in large cities).

You have a 8 hour workday. From those 8 hours you spend approximately 4 hours primarily on job output. The other 4 hours are spent on secondary things like reading/replying to emails, coaching juniors, taking a rest (it is imperative to do so), socializing, reading Hacker News and so on.

Anyone up the chain expecting you to work 8 hours 100% productively is completely unrealistic and IMO provide a good reason to find job happiness somewhere else.

Telecoms are among the most tightly regulated and jealously held national level industries. If you can put up a global network in a few years that pushes down 4 and 5G speeds, the national telecom companies become obsolete.

There will be some holdouts, but eventually it will become stupid for many places to invest in terrestrial infrastructure just to protect a technologically inferior domestic telecom company.
