I work with anonymised data. If you want actual names I'm going to have to trawl through coroner's reports.

While most forum disputes are about words, I think that @frittig makes a valid point in questioning whether the lawful shooting of active criminal home invaders ought to be considered a "mass shooting" just because there happened to be a lot of home invaders.
So, yes it's about words in part, but also about concepts.

For my part, all else being equal, for every N criminal home invaders, the optimal number of home invaders repelled by lawful force without injury to innocent civilians is also exactly N. If you want to mix those relatively rare good mass shootings in with other bad mass shootings (the vast majority of them), that's one way to approach things. You could also keep a list of "Things that happened on Tuesdays in history" and it would be a perfectly self-consistent list.
> And the only reason I could come up is that there are a few people who would miss me. Nothing in my life really provides meaning. My job provides meaning to the world, but me.

> they face extensive civilian oversight and programs like their metadata collection were extensively debated in public

Most democratically elected representatives don't know what the NSA is up to. The Director of National Intelligence directly lied in his public testimony when asked about NSA collection. It took a whistleblower to reveal even the basic outline of the NSA's massive surveillance powers, which the civilian population was unaware of. That whistleblower now has to live in Russia, or else he'd be rotting away in jail, or worse. The metadata program was only extensively debated after those revelations, and we civilians are still in the dark about what the NSA does. I don't trust that they've stopped their mass surveillance of Americans. A massive organization that acts with such little oversight is a danger to democracy, regardless of what it claims in public.
The point is about repeatability, not precision. Nominally fixed points on the Earth's surface are constantly in motion relative to GPS and relative to other fixed points. Many of the effects that cause this lack of repeatability can induce centimeters of measured deflection from the mean position over relatively short periods of time. There are models that can be employed to correct some of these effects (e.g. fluctuations in the gravity field, which is measured by satellites) but not all of them. Consequently, the measurement may be precise but there is never a reference frame in which the points are actually "fixed" over time, which is indistinguishable from reduced precision. Local changes in surface geometry are also easily detected with LIDAR.

For surveys that require maximum repeatable precision, they will often use the mean position as measured over e.g. 12 hours. The magnitude of the variance varies quite a bit depending on where you are on Earth.
It is said that "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.".

I'd say this idea, that after you are guaranteed worse results, you should double down, is even more insane.

If anything, what I wrote is all the more reason to find new strategies that don't involve "we'll fight them with guns".

Besides who'll do the fighting? The kind of people that have guns are in more in favor of fascism and army rule than those who don't. So all it takes to get them on the side of the opressors it's to sell it to them as army control, as opposed to "big government" control.

Usually they don't have any filter, so they can work at night on the IR spectrum. A baseball cap with a string of SMD LEDs on the edge should do the trick, at least at night. During the day, a cap and a surgical mask will do it. If you go indoors, remove the mask and keep your head low, since most cameras are on the roof.

Kubernetes has nothing to do with cloud vendor lockin. I don't know where you're getting this from. Any hosting provider can spin you up some managed Linux nodes on a bunch of distros and they can be admined by the same tools and same people. That's why all the big clouds spend so much effort creating new services with custom APIs that aren't just "run a process in a chroot jail with fiddly bits". Big Data, AI and so on. That container will still need to store data somewhere, get traffic from somewhere else, etc, and they want to sell you services to do that.

If anything I am skeptical about Kubernetes' future. Not in the short term, k8s/docker are the MongoDB of the late 2010s and the same sorts of people are jumping on the bandwagon. But look at the discussion about the AMD EPYCs in Google Cloud. Big machines are now getting so big that a bog standard OS running a bunch of processes is going to provide more than enough power for even very large websites.

One machine now provides more power than a whole rack used to, and horizontal scaling technologies are expensive. A research paper from 2013 showed that just scaling up beat the performance of scaling up for virtually all jobs analysed, which came from Microsoft, Yahoo, and Facebook. So the sorts of companies that are poster-children for this kind of cloud technology.

Good point. But parent comment described infanticide by finches as a response to captivity, as if they were deliberately preventing offspring from growing up in captivity. In contrast, the "motives" given in the Wiki article are either 1. sexual conflict (e.g. offspring of a rival male), or 2. resource scarcity.

The CNN article seems more similar, even as the zoo is very careful not to say the behavior is caused by captivity.

I work at Google and as far as I know Rust is not really “in house” at Google, at least not any more than C#. Both languages exist in some form, Google does have some plugins for Unity and I believe Fuchsia has some Rust code. It is indeed unclear what criteria was used to select languages, though it’s really not very relevant to the primary point anyway.

I am not certain what evidence you could point to to suggest that any of the things you suggest is done with more money ever actually happens. We have very concrete real evidence that all of that 'more money' goes into financial services companies, and all gains go back into the financial services industry. Companies hire workers when they need more money, not when they have an excess. Workers generate profit for companies, they're not a sink. Once those companies can purchase robots rather than workers, if it's profitable they will do that of course (and I would rather be starving to death in the street than doing a job that a cheap machine could be doing better, I've seen some people suggest we reserve some low skill jobs for humans and I think that sounds like the worst and cruelest torture imaginable). The gains they make from those robots will not be used to hire new workers, it would obviously be better spent purchasing new robots and if that would serve to reduce demand for their products from oversaturating the market, they will send the money to the financial services industry.

Every choice has positives and negatives, however. Robots are good at some things, and bad at others. This could lead to an interesting clash. Robots, modular manufacturing, etc is very good at producing large numbers of identical copies of a product. There is no guarantee that society will continue to value this over production of a wide variety instead. If every production run is in numbers of dozens rather than millions, the advantages of automation start to falter. It's also important not to underestimate the power of human brain flaws. One of the flaws of the human brain is 'essentialism'. It's a complicated concept, but boils down to people might see robot-produced goods as not as 'rich' as human-produced goods, even when they are identical. Essentialism is the belief that an objects history is somehow attached to it. And if society decides that an object which has a human hand in it is far more valuable than a 'soulless' robot-produced good... whoops. That could seriously limit what products robots are actually able to bring value to. Human sense of value is what rules the economy, not objective value.

There were many tradeoffs made back when production centralized into factories and big companies. All of those tradeoffs are up for renegotiation, and those who simply assume the choices made 100+ years ago are going to stand will be, I think, sorely disappointed.
You seem to misunderstand. Let's talk about an 15 kW asynchronous machine with two poles hooked up to a VFD. At nominal voltage (say 400 V) and nominal frequency (say 50 Hz) it will produce approx 50 Nm of torque to reach its nominal power (n ~ 2900 min^-1). Input current will be somewhere around 30 A. Let's say we want it to run at approx 300 min^-1, thus frequency is reduced to ~5 Hz and voltage to ~40 V. Output torque will still reach approx 50 Nm at the same current as it did at 50 Hz. However, output power is now approximately 1.5 kW. You can boost low-end torque a little bit, but not by much (every VFD offers some parameters for this), because this requires increasing the current.

If we were to run this motor "constant power" at 300 min^-1 it would provide about 500 N*m of torque and run at a hypothetical current of 300 A -- it's quite clear that that isn't going to go well.
It seems a little conservative to me - I'd expect it to do that earlier than 2040.

I really wish everyone was competing on range rather than acceleration. Range is the number one reason I went with a LR model 3. I don't give a rats ass about how fast it gets to speed.

However it is nice to see an EV with range at least in Tesla territory, granted it still is 2012 territory. I posted before, no premium brand EV should sell anything under 300 miles EPA; I use EPA as it is the one returning the lowest in use numbers which makes it a bit better bet when you try to figure out winter driving numbers too.

the real issue with EV adoption besides choice is if the average buyer has any real interest without incentives.

I do hope the Porsche entry forces Tesla to revamp the S and X interior, the real fix they need is to remove road noise, specifically tires, which is the only issue I have with my 3. (Test drove a S75 so maybe they are better now, no idea)

That’s how it is. When there is a fire however and people get suffocated because of those modifications you did or just because it was a fire.

Possibly also the guilt.

If they’re on average not full on a Saturday, the market is over saturated. If they’re full on Thursday, the market is under saturated. In between, there’s probably room but you’ll have to fight for it.

Also, if there are more than about 13 in your market, you’re going to have problems getting noticed because the review sites have huge first mover bias.

In general, the market is over saturated, and will probably see more closures than openings over the next year.

Yes. The original fascists were Italian and had hard-left policies, like very heavy state involvement in industry and communist-style dictatorship.

This rebranding of "fascists" and "Nazis" as right wing has been going on a long time, but when you look at what these groups of people actually did when in power their actions were all but indistinguishable from the USSR: The hardest of hard left power structures. They were both "alt left".
In the Fully Charged episode[1] linked in a recent thread here about some guy in Amsterdam making electric cars and boats, the guy mentions that the motors have brushes. I was mildly surprised as I just assumed they'd be brushless DC motors.

Are they just efficient enough that the cost/simplicity outweighs going brusless? Or are there other advantages to using brushed motors for electric vehicles?

I'm admittedly pretty bad at basic speed math (even dividing by 5 takes me a bit -- and I know it shouldn't). I use the same fibonacci trick, and at least for me it really is much easier.

It's important to remember that all arithemtic tricks are made more useful when combined with others. I don't know what fibonacci number is close to 500, but I don't need to: 5 -> 8 means 500 -> 800. Really, the only fibonaccis I have memorized are 2,3,5,8,13,21.

150 is harder, but I would use the same trick. 13->21, so 150->230 plus a bit. Maybe 240.
So, I have a rough mental list of “signs that management is off-course in a dangerous way”. I hadn’t thought to add it before, but I’m now adding “manager plans an offsite that turns out to be a fake kidnapping where they blindfold and tie up my team, followed by messages from the manager/CEO”.

I’ve been on several teams that have done escape rooms, and most have some form of narrative / role-playing (there’s a decent cross section of murder-mystery, fantasy, etc etc, depending on the folks running the room). But the idea of tricking people into participating, especially with so many “fake” hostile elements, is a big red flag. The reason this wouldn’t get past HR at some companies is because those companies have an HR team that knows a land mine when they see it.

It's not just that. There's a reason why fire escapes are usually extra exits on top of the usual ones (even if they're only through a window) and in NYC at least a bunch have been shut down because they closed off access to those fire escapes.
This sort of reductionism can be used for anything. To get good handling, you just need good traction and a low center of gravity. To get good top speeds you just need good top speed. To go to Mars you just need a big rocket.

Traditionally obtaining good acceleration has been incredibly difficult. Larger engines yield a heavier vehicle in a vicious cycle. Makers like Lamborghini would reduce their cars to just shells, use esoteric materials if it could shed tiny amounts of weight, and then would spend enormous engineering trying to obtain more power from smaller engines (not bigger engines, more powerful, lighter engines). To casually dismiss this is just entirely untrue.

Tesla made a big deal about acceleration because it comes essentially for free with electric engines that have incredible low end torque curves. They made a big, 5000lb, full featured, 5-seat sedan and they still could give it acceleration that blew away what million dollar supercars had been fighting to do for decades. And now we're all tut-tutting that Porsche might possibly make something that's kind of similarly capable in a car that will likely cost much more and seat two. Great.
They might be referring to something like Chorus Motors[0].

I don't know anything about electric motors, but Chorus has been around since the 90s and make similar sounding claims.

I'll quote their technology summary[0]

"The Chorus Star concept utilizes concentrated, high phase order windings which allows the beneficial use of harmonics (temporal, spatial, and overload). Consequently, a Chorus machine can achieve much higher torque densities than a traditional 3 phase motor, but with no cost penalty. Chorus Star machines are superior to three-phase machines as well as permanent-magnet machines".

They make (or are trying to make) a nose-gear mounted assembly for airplanes so you can drive a 737 around with just the APU running - not using the main engines[1]. Also they let pilots pull back from the gate without waiting for a tug on the ground. The claim is that their motor allows them to fit enough torque into the nose wheel to do the job, whereas a conventional motor couldn't do it.
