I'm at the grocery less than 10 minutes from the time I park my car til the time I start my car to leave. Aside from Church, work and my gyms (good luck getting a CF affiliate that barely keeps his doors open to install EV chargers in the parking lot of the half of a warehouse he leases and I don't see a chain gym in a small strip small that barely has adequate parking adding them to encourage people to loiter longer) I don't particularly go anywhere other than my apartment.

There are tons of us in this scenario that would have to go waste our free time sitting around at some business, running our cars for heating or air conditioning, while we charge one or more times a week.

The only way you ever get more than a token percentage of homeowners to switch to EVs is make it where you pull up to a building, a robot arm removes your batteries, slides new ones in, and you pull away 30 seconds later.

I know 1 person that owns an EV, he has a Tesla. Everyone made fun of him when he bought it, and still does months later. It looks like Tesla has two locations in all of Indianapolis with 8 super chargers at one and 12 at the other. 2 locations for 361 square miles.

The only place he goes regularly where he can charge it is his attached garage where he had a charger installed. I've only seen a few random business with a few generic (non fast-charging) charging stations around Indy with the exception of the EV smart-car looking cars in some of the hipster neighborhoods that you pay a monthly fee to use and have to return them to a handful of charging locations.
They also recently went through a redesign and I think it's really clean.

Ad hom attacks are not fallacious when calling into question the motive and hypocrisy of the speaker.

Thiel is making broad, jingoist claims about Google being treasonous without evidence and while google.com isn't even accessible inside the country [1]. This is after Sheryl Sandberg (also on the FB board) hired an agency to spread George Soros conspiracies about critics [2], so this pattern of stirring-the-pot behavior from Facebook isn't quite so uncommon.

The author here is right to call Thiel's motive and behavior into question.

Great to hear he did his homework!

Last I looked into this, AIUI, the default in the US is "everything the employee does the employee owns" (damn you wedding photographers!).

So naturally, virtually every tech company contract will have a "work for hire" clause which says "never mind that, everything the employee does the company owns (on or off the clock, in the shower, whatever, it's all ours)".

California adds an extra exception, which is "whatever the employee does (on their own time and equipment) that is 'unrelated to the company's business' is still the employee's." While that may safeguard my oil painting hobby, I'd always be nervous about any programming (game or otherwise) if I work for a tech company...

I think your example/link illustrates the point.

> These stations are expensive (up to $100,000) and require more power than your house, so you’ll never have one of these in your garage.

In other words, most chargers are not going to be "the best." Especially ones in less affluent neighborhoods, within a short drive (or on the way) of wherever you happen to be. Maybe it's a 10 minute round trip for a 5 minute wait (assuming no line) to charge up for and make up the extra 20 miles you need.

Realistically there are best case and worst case scenarios in our future. When chargers are all as fast and convenient as gas stations, the problem pretty much goes away. Anyone that could buy an ICE car and get to the gas station when they needed to could also have a 200+ mile EV and get to (really fast) chargers when they need. If that doesn't happen (and until it does) there will be plenty of people that cannot switch to an EV without adding out-of-the-way trips to their lives, and having long wait times while they charge on less-than-the-best chargers.

As I've mentioned elsewhere in the thread, forcing "shopping" or "dining out" to be a part of fueling your car is unnecessary coupling. It sounds natural, because gas stations are almost always convenience stores. Personally, I rarely eat out (especially alone!), prefer to never set foot in a convenience store, and my spouse does the majority of the food shopping. My charging time would be as equally wasted as my gasoline fill-up time.
They've been running a taxi service that is/was unauthorized in most municipalities.
Same thing in Chile. Some drivers even make sure all the passengers agree on a story to tell the cops if they stop you.

Unlike Colombia, it's not dangerous for passengers -- at least the law-breaking aspect isn't. What's dangerous is how everyone drives. Also, it's a gamble whether you'll get a normal, sane driver, or someone weird or downright crazy. But that's not limited to Uber, you can get crazy cabbies too.

I think the worst experience I had there -- before Uber, this was a taxi driver -- was a guy who: 1) was speeding so much, regardless of potholes, I thought my teeth would fall out; 2) stopped to take a piss in the middle of the ride, without pausing the meter; 3) ended up confessing he wasn't sure where my address was, so I asked him to let me off a few blocks from my place.

Is there a moral to this story? Not really, I just thought I would share something funny ;)
The CA system also provides dozens of organizations all over the world to issue certificates for any domain and to hand them out to pretty much anyone.

If Microsoft included a self-signed cert in my Windows install for itself, I would know my communications with Microsoft came from whoever made my Windows operating system. Meanwhile, with PKI, dozens of companies can technically generate certificates for microsoft.com and we're just all hoping none of them do it without getting caught.
My neighbor does this as well. He does cover the cable with a piece of vinyl. I see him dicking around with his extension cord and vinyl several times a week, and then he tells me how charging EVs is totally not a problem and how convenient his car is. In the mean time I spend 5 mins every 3-4 weeks to fill my car up with diesel and I'm good for another 8-900 km. I wouldn't want an electric car today if I got one for free (well then I'd probably take it, I'm Dutch after all)
AND you could try to figure out how to do that beforehand, but some LRU-type cache solves the problem without any prior knowledge of what those sizes are.
God yes I don’t have laundry machines in my new place (there’s space for some but I gotta get my own) and walking several blocks to the laundromat on a weekly basis is A Hassle.

Yes it's a new CLI front-end. In fact it's a BSD/ISC licensed reimplementation/reimagination using the git repo structure for file storage. Commands differ a bit and knowing the OpenBSD developers, it will be more consistent and user friendly then git's CLI. Also it's taylored around OpenBSD's development style.
Considering the large empty spaces with sintered bronze shells, this is really a mix between sintering and lost-PLA casting. The requirement to add significant volume to your print object in order to have more bronze to flow into your desired shape is removing most of the advantage this has over plain lost-PLA casting. I wonder at the feasibility of producing filament that's 80% bronze by volume.
Bikes and scooters are great (provided there are safe riding lanes and trails) until there's any weather. If I have to show up at work looking presentable then biking through a downpour simply isn't an option. If there's any sort of snow or ice on the ground then biking simply isn't an option.
Here's a real life tangential example: I'm learning Thai. When I first started it was useful to show the Latin alphabet to get a grasp but it's often difficult or inaccurate to try to express that language without the system designed to express it. For instance, many romanizations lack a tone marker for tonal language, or don't show vowel length when it matters. Or for laughable example of พร, meaning 'blessing' but also a common woman's name, being traditionally romanized to 'porn' with its silent r when 'pawn' is a more neutral pronunciation for all English dialects (or /pʰɔːn/). Also, not being able to read or write the language, you will have a difficult time effectively engaging with the community and understanding the world around you.

The point is, functional languages are designed to express these concepts with much, much less cruft with extra features like currying, immutability-by-default, and type classes. Yes, use your current language to get oriented, but if you're going to really learn it, pick up a proper syntax to express it.

you are introducing (perhaps deliberately straw manning, perhaps not) an example that has an extremely low overhead (low bandwidth over a network) instead of focusing on the presented example, which is:

- Uber adds traffic to already choked up/bad infrastructure

- Uber does not pay their employees benefits etc. because of their "partnership" so this leads to poorer health outcomes which cost the state $ later on

- Uber "voluntarily" pays VAT etc. (only after taxis pushed for this) but almost certainly not commensurate with their income

so yes, the company is dumping their enormous externalities without much regard for the country at hand, and it's not useful to insert a tech-focused example into the situation.
There is no issue hiring juniors, they have a lot to learn and they should be coached through it for sure. That mid level, help coach juniors, is also not an issue. But I would rather hire a junior analyst or a junior engineer than a junior data-scientist. The breadth of what they need to learn before actually delivering value is quite vast.

I can hire an analyst or engineer and quickly they will be able to learn, get good at something and deliver value. After 2 years they can easily grow into a data-scientist with the good base they have had from their previous positions.

Some organization essentially rebrand analysts positions to "junior datascientist", but I believe this make it a mismatch of expectation for graduates getting out of school.

Quite a lot of senior citizens go for EV cars - they are not as fit and strong as your average HN reader (who seem to be the only other demographic buying EV).

So there needs to be consideration for them. Apparently it is really quite hard work plugging in if you are in the twilight years with health considerations. The more you need the mobility solution an EV offers the more likely it is that you are going to struggle putting that big charging cable in to your Nissan Leaf.
> If used effectively

Unless we lived in an omniscient surveillance state that automatically notified property owners, basic tort law really couldn't address this effectively because the benefits of dumping easily exceed the risk adjusted costs simply because the costs of detecting and suing for illegal dumping on a property owner by property owner basis are far too great.[1] Indeed, the more toxic the waste the more the situation favors dumpers.

[1] To be clear, that's not a comment on pricey lawyers and slow courts, but regards fundamental structural limitations to such a legal system.

A few years ago I lived in a fairly northern Canadian city. Most people had block heaters installed in their cars and plugged them in when the car would be sitting in the cold for more than a few hours. Otherwise, the car would be too cold to start. Most companies and apartment buildings had outlets installed in their parking lots, and at home people just ran extension cords.
> EVs are being widely adopted in Europe

Indeed, just came back from a two-week vacation in Northern Germany, had to drive there from the South.

Didn't drive EV, but still couldn't help but notice that at every rest stop we made at a bigger Autobahnrasttätte there was either a Tesla supercharger station or some other brand EV charger. Could probably have made the same 600 km trip with an EV.

Tesla's have also become quite a common sight on German autobahnen, don't really notice the other brand EV's because I'm not much of a car guy.
As an American who has lived in France, I can completely confirm.
Hmm; not sure about legality aspect, but in many places where Uber is perfectly legal and common, the drivers have nevertheless asked me to sit in front due to fear of violent reaction by Taxi drivers.

In the city I'm currently in, Taxi drivers and unions have used various means to create political pressure - from peaceful protests; to aggressive protests; to attacking Uber drivers; to attacking their offices (they also apply the same tactics between each other when a different taxi company wins an airport license, etc.

(Oh, the city is Ottawa, the capital of Canada).

Note as well, Uber was "illegal", in the sense that there's no framework or license under which it operates, pretty much everywhere it started, and in many popular places still is. It entrenches, and then fights to become legal. You probably used Uber "illegally" (as in, operating outside of framework of existing law and regulation framework) before, without being so explicitly told or aware.

(and while this is not a message likely to be received well, and I genuinely mean it with best of intents - if you are a person with limited local language skills or awareness traveling alone, and if you are not willing to take risks, this is a good lesson to do research before landing. Much of the world is NOT equally tourist friendly, and nowhere is Ignorance of Law a permissible defense :( )

Fixing EV would mostly entail making it a more exclusive club (not an "I have $400 to blow" club, but a "this is a household name" club) and shoring up the requirements to get one. Far from an insurmountable task. Everyone should not have an EV, but everyone should know that if you're doing business with a bank or a major store they should have an EV.
Because people are willing to work for wages that can't buy them the shittiest home within a reasonable commute to their office.

If people were more willing to die, unionize, or advocate for a mediocre life, this wouldn't happen.

If you're working for less than it takes to buy the shittiest home in your city, you are exacerbating inequality and thus making the world worse. Better to sit on the sidewalk until you're dead.

Two layers of the same cache can be beneficial, even if they're both using Varnish. Let's walk through a couple of request scenarios. I'll assume I'm both running the application/inner cache/load balancers and testing the request flows myself for simplcity of pronouns.

I request image42 and it's in the outer cache. I get served from the outer cache.

I request image127 and it's a cache miss on this server. It asks its backend, which is another cache, and this time it's a cache hit since it hadn't time out there yet.

I request image128 and my browser requests the same image again from the same backend, it doesn't even have to hit my load balancer the second time.

I request image2049. It's a miss on the outer cache. It's a miss on the inner cache. It gets generated by processing in a primary application. I then request it again, and I hit a different frontend cache. It's a miss in this frontend, but this cache is hopefully refreshed from that inner layer of cache rather than going all the way back to the application. If the load balancer pins traffic based on the ultimate end-user's IP to a particular inner-circle Varnish box via MRU then the chances are quite high that's what happens.

I request image4095 and it has expired from the inner cache, but is still unexpired in the outer cache so it never gets beyond the CDN.
IMHO the mere fact a page links to relevant (to its subject) papers in reputable scientific journals should be considered a positive factor in a page rank computation.

You can make massively meaning differences every day with minor personal decisions. If everyone in the US did them it would have a significant global impact.

1. Replace all bulbs with LEDs. 2. Set your AC warmer at home, in the thermostat in your hotel rooms, and anywhere else you can 3. Eat as little meat as you can 4. Replace your car with an EV or highly fuel efficient hybrid 5. Get the highest efficiency AC/Heater 6. Change vacation plans to avoid CO2 emission 7. Install Solar PV. 8 Lower your hot water temperature 9. Repair instead of replace 10. Up the R value of your insulation...

You can make a huge dent (more than 50%) in your personal CO2 footprint. PARTICULARLY as a member of an industrialized society. You can make more impact than a dozen people in a developing country.
> Don't you think it's possible that if each generation has to say that, that it is simply getting worse and worse and worse?

No. Every generation says "babies are small"; it's not evidence that babies are getting smaller.

We've got plenty of scientific evidence that brains continue to mature well into the 20s, and that things like good decision making are part of that development.

> We're definitely in the getting worse territory.

By what quantifiable metric are you able to make that claim?

>We try to understand countless things without have a use case in mind at the time of study.

You're making a pretty clear reference to mathematics & science here, but in those disciplines we study things with well-defined structures. We don't study flighty nonsense because it's not ever going to be useful. You shouldn't invoke this phrase to excuse a lack of precision and clarity.
It’s never going to be a one size fits all solution. While all the things you mention work for “some” people, an EV is the best option for “some” people.
>why are so many people in supposedly high income cities not able to buy properties?

Housing costs seem to scale to the maximum that the population can pay, and people are willing to accept housing which is a little less than they think they need for a little more than they think they can afford. Generations of this have people growing up wanting what is "normal" and accepting a little less, each generation's normal is a little less while costing the same.

The only thing that can be done about this is removing the third parties making money off of that trend – each generation of homes is a little smaller for the same amount of (inflation or whatever adjusted) money and the difference is getting sucked into the financial and real estate sectors giving far more profits than useful work done.

Or we can just wait for peak-population to pass and an enormous crash where there will be far more housing than people and buying a house will be a money-losing venture you do because you want the space for yourself and not as an investment.

At some point in history, there was only one gas station in the world. It takes time to build infrastructure. People like you seem to miss that. My Tesla can go 300 miles and charge most of that in about 15 minutes. Plug it in, walk into the gas station to take a piss and buy a snack and walk out. Done. I did that a month ago when I drove to vegas. It's not perfect, but it's incredible.

There's a second thing that most people with gas cars don't realize. EVs do REALLY well in traffic. The slower the better. Gas cars continue to burn fuel while idling. When I'm in traffic, my 300 mile tesla goes to 500+ mile range because moving an EV at 5-10mph is optimal conditions.
