From the company pitch: Electrification of thermal city cars : we replace the thermal engine by electrical engine and batteries (100km of autonomy and 110km/h of maximum speed). This autonomy is a engaged choice to avoid oversized car capabilities and avoid reproducing the opulence on lithium-cobalt that we have on oil.[1]

Ah, the good old days of "if you want an electric car, you have to suffer."

This isn't really a company yet, it's a pitch for funding.

It's perfectly possible to convert existing cars to electric drive. Conversion kits exist.[2] Those guys have conversion kits for most early VWs powered by the little four-cylinder opposed engine. Cost is about $17,000 with battery. Which is a used Tesla pack. Unclear why this new conversion is so much cheaper, unless it doesn't include the battery. Other sellers have conversion kits for other vehicles.

The usual result is a rather heavy car with limited range. Also, conversions tend to leave the transmission in the power train and use a DC motor, which is obsolete electric car technology.

To be clear, I’m not saying that these changes are good or that they can’t/won’t be used to oppress. I merely want to say that they aren’t designed and planned to do that and so I don’t think it’s helpful to frame arguments about it as fighting against tyranny.

In terms of evaluating police effectiveness it could matter in some cases.

For example, the police probably can't do much to protect one drug dealer from another as both drug dealers are presumably trying to avoid the police (and the decision to legalise drugs is a political one not a police one).

According to Gallup, highly experienced teams can experience a 20% lift in productivity.

If an employee’s output is X, you can take this to (X)*120% by focusing on employee happiness. To put this in perspective, if a 5 member team experienced a 20% increase in productivity, there will be enough additional output that a sixth employee might contribute, but without the additional pay.

In this scenario, an organisation’s savings can be connected to 1 employee’s salary in a 5 member team. Also, take into consideration the additional revenue generated.

If a 500 employee company saw a 20% boost in productivity,
it will mean an output of 600 employees at the hiring cost of 500.
That's a great tool. Easy to use and really robust in daily use. thanks for writing ;-)
The connection to profitability by industry is interesting:

manufacturing 0.42
finance 0.22
retail 0.14
services 0.10

Correlation coefficient < 0.20 is very weak correlation.

It would be interesting to see how it correlates with value added. I hypothesize that low in value added businesses like retail or manual assembly in manufacturing, you can't increase profits radically by increasing worker satisfaction. In higher value added sectors like like aircraft manufacturing cough Boeing cough the correlation is probably much higher than 0.42.
It sounds like Fuji does part of what you want.

Fuji (at least the X-T3 I own) doesn't have an explicit "Aperture priority, shutter priority, auto, manual" mode dial like most cameras. Instead it has physical dials for aperture, shutter speed and ISO. The dials have "auto" positions and the shutter and ISO dials can be locked in place.

So instead of aperture priority, you leave the ISO and SS dials in "auto" and change the aperture on the lens. If you care about the ISO, you can change that and it'll automate the shutter speed.

The main thing it doesn't do is default to full auto at power on. I frankly think that's insane and would never buy a camera that allows it. I don't trust auto to do what I need.

I've recently been reading through the Amazon letters to shareholders [https://ir.aboutamazon.com/annual-reports/].

It's clear from those letters that Amazon is not an experiment, but rather a flawlessly executed plan about how an online retailer can exploit their inherently better capital flows to grow very quickly.

It's almost the opposite of the modern startup approach.

Not: "We need to borrow money and take investment to get big and dominate the market".

Instead: "If we drive our costs down and focus on fast fullfillment or orders/inventory turnover, we'll have all this spare money sloshing around to reinvest, and happy local customers. Therefore we can't help but get big.".

(There's a lot more to it than this.)

The first letter shows that they already understood the economics of web retail very well in 1997!

Accusing them of lacking pride is also definitely missing the mark. Amazon are optimizing customer satisfaction and rate of fullfillment. They enter all these other markets exactly because they are proud enough to believe they'll win. Amazon wouldn't enter a market aiming to be 2nd best.

I haven't gotten to the present yet, so I didn't know that Amazon had opened high-street retail shops. The earlier letters said that they wouldn't do that unless they figured out how to make it scale faster than their expenditures, like their online business.

Note that cosmetology isn't just hair-washing: it covers a wide range of applying a variety of substances to people's hair and skin, often near orifices that more easily absorb toxic subatances like eyes or mouths.

Note that the person who wrote the first article you linked to lists his occupation as "I write on the damage big government does, especially to education."

Note that you elide simple hair washing with 'hair design' and its much more onerous requirement of cosmetology school or apprencticeship (not both).

Why Use a Service Mesh?
The median individual monthly income in WA state is slightly above 4K monthly. Half of this is 2K monthly or more accurately given how most people actually get paid 923 every 2 weeks. After taxes this is more like 784. After paying for insurance as you are too rich to get free health care you are looking at more like 684.

This qualifies you to live virtually nowhere because most places want you to make 3x the rent and start at 700-800 per month. In King County where the lions share of the jobs are you probably will have to move to a street corner.

Elsewhere you can perhaps afford to beg someone to rent a bed for 2 weeks wages and afford to eat as long as you have no hobbies and shop exclusively at thrift stores for clothes.

It's probably a mostly acceptable definition of poor that only breaks down in a tiny minority of cases where someone adjacent to a very wealthy area makes enough to barely get buy in the wealthy area but enough to survive slightly more comfortably in the poor area wherein jobs are as scarce as the cost of living is low.

Seems like a lot of the viability of this may depend on the amount of engine and transmission connection standardization. If a manufacturer uses the same engine mount and powertrain connections across several models then an electric motor with compatible connections could fit a variety of cars.

So for those who know, is engine standardization still a thing and has it been over the past 10 years?
Hight, one of the markers of health and nutrition. I am surprised by the fact that even now the average height is lower than in the pre-agriculture times. (Note that in Europe it is higher than of the pre-agricultural).

Also, I am curious what is in 1450 BC (an artifact? a different population? times of plenty?).

I aplaude the initiative, but I am skeptical about this.

To convert and ICE car to electric you'll need a battery pack, BCM, inverter, motor, charger, heater core and mounting hardware at minimum. Even if they source all parts from the used market, I doubt they can do it for €5k.

Then there is the practical part. Converting an ICE car to an electric drivetrain messes with weight distribution and crash safety. In most EU countries you'll need to do a full technical inspection to get the car road legal again (even if you used a certified kit). Air conditioning and most gauges in the dashboard will no longer work. And on most modern cars they'll need to do some serious software hacking to get the body control modules to accept the fact that there is no ECU anymore to talk to.

100km range fits the commuting needs of 95% of the people in western Europe.

In any case, the target demographic is likely not wealthy, so for them, less range for less money would be ideal. Plus, the smaller the battery the easier it is to fit, meaning less potential problems later on. Particularly important because these cars won't be crash tested.
They should come to Europe, then. Plenty of crime here.

We were perfectly clear when we invented the term "open source" that we meant "free software", to the point of adapting the Debian Free Software Guidelines into the explicit and detailed Open Source Definition, and we've been using the term consistently for over 20 years.

Well, language is open, and confusing terminology will cause misunderstandings. Besides, there is not one definition of open source, and the most common definition has 10 criteria. You're not exactly doing anyone a service by calling someone who is not aware of all this background and understandably uses a rational interpretation of "open source" a roach. In fact, you come across as a douchebag.

> Tcl/Tk is one of the cooler tools out there, though I wish it were not so... string-based.

Tcl was designed in a different time when memory was scarce.

The point of being so "stringy" is that you could parse it in place in the same amount of RAM as the original "string program" took up.

I really would love something with similar constraints as the old Tcl for microcontrollers. BASIC used to run in 4K RAM with 4K ROM--I really wish we had a modern equivalent that I could connect to with a UART.

Quite often my constraint on a microcontroller is waking up and waiting for a sensor, transmitter, etc. -- I have forever to run interpreted code. A small language would be really nice.
You can only clearly judge two things if you have them both internalized.

I for example speak German and English and I can assure you that both these languages have their merits. German is a more precise language with more nuance and a bigger vocabulary, chaining of nouns allows for ad-hoc invention of new words which other people will quickly understand etc. English is much easier to learn, is less clunky to express everyday stuff and it lends itself to certain ways of thinking that I wouldn’t want to miss.

While these are based on subjective observations there is plenty of research that shows how language affects thinking and one could argue there are objective differences.

Are the benifits of metric prefixes, a decimal base, better interfacing with Si units etc really just subjective?

If you live in an imperial world, these benifits might diminish, but using this as an argument would be similar to saying “German is not a good language because where I live it is not spoken”

Yeah now that would be subjectively.
I own an A7RIII (and preordered an A7RIV) but I actually think Fuji is the most innovative right now.

In terms of image quality, my A7RIII blows my Fuji X-T3 out of the water but in _every other way_ the X-T3 is better. The ergonomics are fantastic (I love manual dials for all the settings), it has the kind of video you'd have to buy a Panasonic GH-5 for in the past, the out of camera JPEGs are much more pleasing to the eye (though I mostly shoot raw), the menu system is far more sane and it comes with features like focus stacking.

Plus, Fuji routinely adds new features to old cameras with software updates, while Sony for the most part tends to forget about a camera as soon as the new one is released.
>If Burger King significantly increased the salary of their workers or otherwise found ways to improve their morale, would it benefit Burger King in the long run? I tend to suspect so, but it would be hard to prove.

It would not benefit Burger King as its clientele’s main goal is purchasing at the lowest price and they will happily go to McDonalds if prices went up. Not all businesses have the luxury of selling to people willing to spend more than rock bottom, and you can see that in most cities, only one or two areas where the upper middle class live will have the business that pay more than the minimum.

Yes, transmissions that have line of sight can go extremely far, mostly limited by the curvature of the Earth, which is why these records are typically broken using helium balloons. There have also been several interesting ground-to-ground records [1] [2]

This seems intuitively obvious, and I say this as a former business owner. However, the causality is backwards (as I’d expect from economists).

If things are going well, it usually means you have a monopoly of some kind, which means high margins, which means that it’s easy and important to keep your people happy (including stimulating/challenging them with non-rote work).

It’s when things go south that it all starts to get ugly for everyone.

The causality likely goes the other direction: successful businesses can afford to create better employee environments. If your business sucks, you’ll likely run out of money if you try to first make employees happy and then let that happiness iterate you to success.
It sucks to be poor because it sucks to be at the bottom of social hierarchies. This is an evolutionary feature of society, not a bug.
