It actually wasn't just a compliance car, but they knew up front that it would fail.

About 20 years ago, the classic The Innovator's Dilemma came out. Included was a chapter based on a report the author had done for the auto industry back in the 1990s. On existing technology curves he found that mass market electric cars for the American model should become commercially viable around 2020, and in the next several years after that would become dominant. Until then it was a bad business to be in, and after that success was imperative for any car manufacturer that wants to remain in business.

The same author in that book and its follow-up The Innovator's Solution said that conventional car manufacturers would come up with hybrid cars first, but that route would lose to fully electric. Exactly how sailing ship companies came up with hybrid steam/sailing ships (go under steam for short trips, and you have sails if you run out of coal on a long trip), but all manufacturers who invested in that lost.

GM's actions show that they understood a lot of the message of those books. They worked on hybrid cars once that was commercially feasible, and put in the effort to figure out how to make good electric cars. They did this knowing that the technology wasn't yet commercially viable. They have declared that their future is electric only, and are explicitly avoiding committing to the tempting hybrid mistake.

That said, it remains to be seen whether they are committing another mistake pointed out in The Innovator's Solution. Which is that they are trying to make the switch without doing it as a spinoff, without separating the companies, and trying to leverage existing dealer networks. Which opens them to the problem that dealers have come to expect maintenance costs as a big part of their profit model, and therefore will try to steer customers away from electric, or will try to charge extra to stay in business. If GM can't resolve this conflict, they will fail.
If your sudo is configured correctly it will have an administrator defined PATH. However if you have sudo price to run apt-get, anything that could manipulate your rc files can just run sudo apt-get on its own. No need to trick you.
A text-based one. ;-)

Thanks for this description. It made the mental shift easier to empathize with. Individuals do constitute so many external and internal influences. It seems it could be helpful to think of each expression of our selves as a product, or a plant, that we have the power to consciously cultivate.
It is saddening to hear that the fear of resulting financial debt due to hospital bills, stopped you short from dialing 911 in such a precarious situation.

There goes my fantasy that in the west at least health care was top notch and affordable compared to Africa.
There is a single context for the (ab)use of "homoiconic": the context of classifying programming languages/features.

Now, of course, there can be smaller subcontext contexts, like "Bob's paper about classifying programming languages". In such a thing, Bob can define black to be white, if Bob wants; however, that definition ends when we turn over the last page of Bob's paper and return to reality.
You also become responsible for any unpaid property taxes, because they are attached to the property rather than to the person who owned it when the debt was incurred.

Sure I can appreciate that, but I like engine noise, and as a racer I'm More than just used to it--I interpret it into adhesion to name just one aspect of precision driving.

Yep no real cargo room, I stored a lot of items down by the spare. No heated side mirrors--I got the base, but still that's really shitty on their part.

Also I would NOT EVER have bought the car if I couldn't disable ALL of the driver assists: lane keeping, Forward collision and traction control--it takes a few seconds but I can't say it will ever irritate me. I did drive with traction control on until the 600 mile break in mark so as not to overrev while trying to catch the car IF that were to happen, which it never did. Now though all three are off all time--And always will be ;)
I own a condo with a garage, yet I can't put in a charge station. I need to convince most of my neighbors to have the HOA do it.

The garage is a separate shared structure and is only wired for lighting and the electric garage door. The only way they could put in EV chargers would be to trench though 30 feet of asphalt from the electrical vault (assuming that vault has sufficient capacity), then wire up the garage. I'm not sure how metering would work in that case, I assume that'd have to put in meter boxes for each resident.

Several people have tried, but couldn't get interest from more than a handful of residents, and the cost to do the initial work is too much for one person to bear.
You can go a very long way in programming without realising you inadvertently have been using Monad's present in the language/standard library :P
Schools used to teach epistemology (they didn't call it that but it was practical learning) but now they teach "practical" stuff meaning the job skills needed today that will be obsolete by the time the kids graduate.
Yup - so will die sooner than later once an adequate alternative exists. Shaming sex and sexuality via policy has no place in a reasonable, civilized, accepting - healthy society.
Not the post you responded to, but I've seen 20-30 Tesla chargers in the parking lots of several grocery stores. You could very easily push your cart to them.

I imagine Electrify America is installing a number that they believe will meet the current demand of electric vehicles. They don't need to fill the parking lot for the hypothetical future where everyone has an EV. That will still take some time and they can easily scale up as they need to.
I've been wondering why Teams has become completely unreliable when I use it at home. If what you're saying is true it could be my recent pi-hole installation. I'm gonna test this.

Taking care of it on an ongoing basis might have been too great a burden for the (assumedly-understaffed) team, or they had too few tools to deal with it and no incentive or manpower to create new ones that worked with the existing adult content system.

Simply banning adult content en masse allows them to use heuristics to identify nudtiy and genitalia in images.

Previously, they would have had to make a judgment call on whether those depicted were of adult age. By banning all of it, they no longer have the responsibility to make that choice.

As of BETA_v1.6 is should be working in most Safari versions, excluding the very old one's that don't support SVG or flexbox! I do not know about Firefox focus, but I have changed a few things that I think could have made it work in that browser too.

Things changed:

- Reverted back to using xlink:href rather than href attribute within the image element (the newer href attr was not supported in Safari)

- Added two new attributes inside the filter element:

1) filterRes (needed for Safari to display the blur on page load without being prompted by a resize)

2) color-interpolation-filters (some older versions of Safari were using a different variation of this filter and the blur effect would't look right)

- Autoprefixed main.css for older browser compatibility
But those city dwellers likely drive considerably less than people with a garage and don't really need to constantly find a charger.
I agree with your sentiment. If the cost is minimal, and the potential gains large, is it not worthwhile to try out for yourself?

EVs lose out here because of battery degradation. You can quite happily buy a 10 year old ICE car and get good reliability at a good price. Trying to do the same with an EV just gets you a car with a worn out battery and low range.

The batteries for EVs need to get cheaper and more durable for the second-hand EV car market to be competitive with the second-hand ICE car market.
I used to work in an office building with escalators that are powered off at night -- there was some sort of motion sensor about 10 feet before the escalator that would power it on when someone approached, you'd have to be running to reach the escalator before it reached normal speed.

So on-demand escalators are possible, just rare.

In the daytime either they kept them on all the time, or maybe there was enough constant demand to keep them running as I never saw one powered off during the day.
I used to program video games for a living. It's not all unicorns and sunshine. Just because the cubicles have cool drawings of video game characters all over them and you have an Xbox in the lounge doesn't mean that work is going to be more satisfying. In video games hours are longer and wages are lower because so many people want to live the dream.

I make approximately 4 times more money in cash at my new career in a startup. And that doesn't count equity. The place I work is doing well so my equity is worth significantly more than that (but it was a lottery ticket so just consider the cash component). On top of that, the product I work on improves the lives of people more tangibly than entertainment does.

I still love video games and hang out with my friends from that industry ... but all the ones with families are trying to get out of the industry just like I did.

It's a shit career unless you are at one of the top companies like Blizzard, Riot, etc.
I’ve thought about this a bit. I don’t have anger issues but I have anxiety issues and I spent decades not understanding that I experienced anxiety.
In my experience, the culture tells men to exhibit strength and show no weakness. What counts as strength/weakness has changed over time and varies depending on your social groups — it’s not just the stuff associated with typically masculine values, but it also shows up in coding skills, or parenting skills, or how much work one takes on in those or other domains without complaint.
In Behave by Robert Sapolsky, it’s repeatedly observed that testosterone doesn’t necessarily amplify aggression, but it does drive status-seeking/maintaining behavior, where status is some set of collective values where one member can have more or less of it than another and be seen as above or below the other. To me, this maps very well to generalized sense of strength or weakness.

So, in my opinion, men are both wired and trained by the culture to avoid admitting anxiety, to themselves and others, because it is a weakness.
>there may be big taxes, unpaid utility bills, etc, encumbering the property

The reason no one buys is actually a lot simpler than that, if you buy, you have to bring the place up to code. Further, the city watches like a hawk to make sure no one games the system or takes advantage of the poor people living there. So in short, the real price is nowhere even close to the USD1000 that you heard about on the news.

These guys got some exemptions from rules because: "agriculture". Most people would not be getting that exemption. It's just too much work and you could never change and say, "Oh, I want to build a building there now!"
I wonder if the ultimate responsibility could regress to your employer? They gave you not-money in a way that never reached you.
On our team we review feature branches. When the developer thinks it is ready they have an assigned reviewer. The reviewer makes comments, the developer responds, and they go back and forth until it gets to LGTM. My general rule is that I need to understand what the branch is doing and why, so the review takes as long as it takes. If it takes too long that is often itself a sign that comments or documentation is needed.

For interns, they might not know when to ask for review, so you might need to check in on them once a day.
As of yet, the browser support for this is very shoddy. Not to mention outdated/legacy browsers like IE.
The US spends more per unit of service almost every public sector program than European countries. Overall, our non-military government spending per person is actually slightly more than Canada’s. At the local level, it costs NYC twice as much per passenger mile to operate almost an identical subway system to London’s.

Moreover, by your logic, infrastructure would be better in liberal cities and states. But it’s not. Baltimore hasn’t had a republican mayor since 1967. The city council hasn’t had a republican since 1942. Where can I find a republican to blame for the fact that it’s infrastructure is a disaster? San Francisco hasn’t had a republican mayor since 1964, has just a single republican in city-wide elected office, and the entire Bay Area currently has no republican representatives in either the state legislature or the Congress. DC has never had a republican mayor. These places should have great public services, right? If not transit (where Democrats sometimes have to share power with republicans at the state level) but schools, local public services, etc., should be fantastic and well funded, right?
Having done some work in truck route optimization in the retail / wholesale petroleum delivery space I'm a little shocked that their inefficiency was so bad to begin with. (There are some really fun problems in this space. Traveling salesman meets bin packing, just for starters.)
My organization is replacing Zoom with Teams and keeping Slack.

I have two problems so far:

1. I'm an engineer that uses Linux. Zoom has a native Linux client that works really well. Teams doesn't work on Firefox and doesn't ship a Linux client - despite being an Electron application. I can use Google Chrome to call in but if I need to share my screen then I have to switch off all my monitors because Chrome's screen sharing functionality is a little bit broken. There is a PR against Chromium to fix that.

2. The UX of Teams is garbage. Nobody can figure out how to use it because it has so many features. With Zoom, there are like four buttons. I can join a call or I can host a call and figuring out how to do either is incredibly easy.

I would never want to use it as a chat application because that would be awful. Our IT department wants everyone in the company to use Teams because they all like Windows/Microsoft and it comes for free with our Microsoft suite contract.
Right. Whilst it's not difficult to cycle 100 or even 200 miles in a single day, it's far more pleasurable to keep tour cycling to 40-60 miles, particularly on an extended trip and whilst carrying luggage.
Of course then this becomes an argument about scale, doesn't it? Twitter and Facebook both suffer from problems of racists and issues relating thereof, but do you really, really want HN to be compared to those sites? Do you view HN as having the same issues adapting to scale and being unable to control their userbase? Do you believe Facebook and Twitter to be above criticism because they have little to no other sites they can be compared to?

The sites I'm referring to are more or less microcosms. Larger subreddits, or sites like Tildes, SomethingAwful etc. These sites don't have the traffic of HN, but they deal with similar issues at their own scale. Larger sites can and absolutely should apply ideas learned at smaller scales and try to scale them upwards.

edit: Regardless of my thoughts on the site, I'll stop arguing about it and let things hopefully get back on topic.
These look really interesting! I own an original AKG K1000 from 1989 and they definitely have a better sense of "solidity" and "presence" than ordinary headphones with drivers that seal against your head, due to the natural crossfeed.

Other than the K1000 successor that got released a year or two ago (mysphere 3) there has been very little development since then in the field of open-air driver headphones. Hopefully these can sound good without breaking the bank! Also this is the first headphone that uses a driver based on the BMR principle that I am aware of

They invented disavow for this exact reason. Backlink bombing was a thing.

Let me know the progress, I'm fairly certain this will help you out big time, unfortunately it's a bit of legwork and it takes time to recover.

Even if somebody inside Google wanted to fix your problem they're not able to respond on search ranking algorithms or exceptions. I heard from a Google search engineer that other than a curated blacklist (with many controls in place) they have removed the ability to influence the rankings (positively or negatively) with human intervention. This is due to "plausible deniability" over them playing god with search rankings.

Maybe someone with some authority will see this and review a penalty - albeit without responding to you - but usually this will come back in a few months if the underlying cause isn't resolved.

Best of luck.
Safari should now be working in all versions that support flexbox and svg images with filters! Please read the new reply I made to this thread for more information.
I was lucky to get out of Tumblr on the first part of it's decline. Very very sad to see one of the best blogging platforms getting shuffled from one team to another :(
Oh yeah, I've run into a lot of similar problems with even very well tested applications. The password reset field would accept inputs not valid at login time. I mostly ran into this when generating random passwords 100 characters in length from LastPass.

At one point GitHub even changed reduced their max password input to a sane amount, and I couldn't log in anymore with my existing insane password length a few years ago.

In most cases they fix the case when I report it, but my bank is terrible.
The solution is to tell those products' authors to improve them, as the paper you linked even recommends, and not throw the baby out with the bathwater. Unfortunately, doing the latter is more in line with the intentions of companies who want to be able to shove their content down your throat unimpeded, which is why you see so much astroturfing around this issue.
I'm sure that we've edited such titles in the past.

"I've never seen it" is a poor metric for making general claims about moderation. People see and remember only what stands out to them, and what stands out is determined by their pre-existing views. That's why the general claims people make about HN moderation are so starkly contradictory. If there's one mechanical, utterly reliable phenomenon I've learned about from moderating HN, that's the one.
It might be the purchase time option commits the airworthiness type certificate to a particular engine make/model (or range of them). Typically the airplane lease is separate from the engine lease, which helps the airline deal with the totally separate maintenance requirements between airframe and powerplant.
My company is switching to Teams right now, because Slack “does not have active directory integration”.

I asked them if it wasn’t a better idea to just enable that then, but apparently the ability to actually use any corporate software is just not very high on their list...

I find this totally amazing. This feels like it could be an extremely sensitive and fast signaling channel. I wonder what the relationship of these atomic vibrations have to the microscopic behavior of electric current. I.e. can current be described as phonons traveling through metal?
Not knowing Morse code was a much more serious failing than you imply. Morse code can travel much further with far more fidelity than voice. Most radio communications at the time were Morse.

None of the issues mentioned below should have happened if Earhart had properly learned how to use the equipment, prepared for the flight with with best practices, and coordinated with the ship & ground radio operators beforehand.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amelia_Earhart#Radio_equipment

"Neither Earhart nor Noonan were capable of using Morse code."

"At least twice during the world flight, Earhart failed to determine radio bearings at 7500 kHz."

"Through a series of misunderstandings or errors (the details of which are still controversial), the final approach to Howland Island using radio navigation was not successful."

"The Electra had been equipped to transmit a 500 kHz signal that Itasca could use for radio direction finding, but some of that equipment had been removed."

"The antenna was bulky and heavy, so the trailing wire antenna was removed to save weight."

"Earhart's only training on the system was a brief introduction by Joe Gurr at the Lockheed factory, and the topic had not come up. A card displaying the band settings of the antenna was mounted so it was not visible."

"the aviators had cut off their long-wire antenna, due to the annoyance of having to crank it back into the aircraft after each use."

"It was at this point that the radio operators on the Itasca realized that their RDF system could not tune in the aircraft's 3105 kHz frequency"

"If transmissions were received from the Electra, most if not all were weak and hopelessly garbled. Earhart's voice transmissions to Howland were on 3105 kHz, a frequency restricted in the United States by the FCC to aviation use.[Note 35] This frequency was thought to be not fit for broadcasts over great distances. When Earhart was at cruising altitude and midway between Lae and Howland (over 1,000 miles (1,600 km) from each) neither station heard her scheduled transmission at 0815 GCT.[166] Moreover, the 50-watt transmitter used by Earhart was attached to a less-than-optimum-length V-type antenna."
Only if you wanted the whole page blurred, in this instance we want only a small part of the background image blurred, so we have to do all sorts of fancy panning and zooming to the SVG image so we can mimic the movement of the actual background-image.
> On 3 February 2012, Huhne resigned from the Cabinet when he was charged with perverting the course of justice over a 2003 speeding case. His wife at the time, Vicky Pryce, had claimed that she was driving the car, and accepted the licence penalty points on his behalf so that he could avoid being banned from driving. Huhne denied the charge until the trial began on 4 February 2013 when he changed his plea to guilty, resigned as a member of parliament, and left the Privy Council.[7][8][9] He and Pryce were sentenced at Southwark Crown Court on 11 March to eight months in prison for perverting the course of justice.

Going to prison for lying about speeding 10 years ago seems insane. Did they punish these MPs especially heavily just to make a point?
