The first reason doesn't explain why infrastructure causes more today (when the US doesn't feel as rich) than it did when the US was making large scale infrastructure investments.

The second reason seems flat out wrong especially when you compare e.g. the large scale infrastructure investments China is making to fuel its economic growth and compare that to the US where economic growth seems to be largely based on quantitative easing.
>FCA is paying Tesla billions of dollars in ZEV credits

That's an interesting interpretation. FCA is buying ZEV credits in the market, of which Tesla has a large supply. Would you describe Facebook buying servers as "Facebook paying Intel billions so they can keep selling advertisements online"?

>Please buy that Tesla

Every time Tesla comes up and there's negativity, there are accusations of "paid short-sellers", which I am not. What about your disclosure? You own a Tesla, are you a shareholder? Do you have a financial interest in people buying the cars? Is it fair to be constantly flooding these forums with Tesla rumours, often from vapid fan sites, when you stand to benefit?

Why is acceptable from one side, and not the other?
Probably just as easy to have a team in Colombia (edit: typo corrected) request Uber rides and have regulators pull licenses on the spot of whomever shows up.
Let me address these:

1. No one links to them. You are welcome to google. Eg here: https://www.nytimes.com/guides/year-of-living-better/how-to-... - you'll see their entire supplement section is from our site

2. That is our one, and it's more of a play on 2019 and 19. If you read the article, you'll see it's no-nosense.

3. How exactly do I prove someone is real?

A quick google search shows this guy: https://twitter.com/drmikehart - you are welcome to tweet at him. Or at the others.

4. We analyze information and sell that for revenue. We are a business - alas, we have no tree that grows money in our backyard.

It will matter when it matters. If he stumbles into making the next Minecraft, you better believe his former company will unleash the lawyers to at least get a cut or own the IP outright. If he ever seeks outside funding, investors will dig into IP ownership during due diligence and ask “when, precisely, did you start working on this?”

Every large tech company I worked for has been crystal clear during orientation: they own everything I do... on my own time or on theirs, using my own equipment or theirs. There was no ambiguity. Maybe his former employee is more chill. Maybe they won’t go after him. Maybe it won’t be worth it. That’s a lot of maybes to hang your livelihood off of.

Different jurisdiction. "419" is actually the criminal code for fraud in Nigeria. Nearby countries with a significant presence of similar activity have similar legislation (also see the "sakawa boys" of Ghana). Naturally, collaborators in other countries such as the victim's (or "client", as they are typically referred to by 419ers themselves) would presumably be charged under local jurisdiction.

That said, some of the scams, like those common a few years ago about immense sums of cash in Afghanistan or Iraq could be viewed as less unrealistic--I mean, all of those dollars US shipped over there and "lost" must have ended up somewhere, right?

I was about to say we are essentially talking ourselves back into green threads but I think you may be right about CPS.

However, the paradox you have to manage here is this: if you make this sequential/parallel determination pretty high up in the code so that there is a lot of sequential code right after an async part (async can call sync all it wants), then very little of your code is altered, but now you have the green threads problem - one long CPU-bound task that doesn’t yield.

At least with Rust, if you’ve partitioned your data properly then there can be several threads of execution running tasks on unrelated data, but in Javascript you will be punished for trying to consolidate the async bits in this fashion.
Are you the reason why my office water dispenser has a touch screen?
I took a look at the page and have to agree with another poster - the landing page at least looks like a lot of trash websites.

They say they are recommended by:

The New York Times
Washington Post
BBC
Guardian
Forbes
Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

But do not link to any of these sites showing the endorsement (the the icon of Men's Health does turn color when hovered over). That's classic bad behavior scammers use.

Ask yourself, why would be the BBC of all places be endorsing this site? Oddly googling for examine.com and BBC get's a link to "The food supplement that ruined my liver" which makes no mention of examine.com

I then followed the links to the scientifically proven "super-food" - Spirulina. This links to a paper and I picked one random name and found they were a lecturer at a university in Romania - where they also received their degree. Ok...

The whole scientifically proven "superfoods" with dramatic health benefits invented by "NASA" is already so scam buzzword filled how does google not push this down?

Now google is supposed to be promoting this type of health info over more standard health info? I'm all for folks exploring the edges of things, but... at least a quick read of the page doesn't inspire huge confidence in this landing page as an authoritative source for health info.

I may also have found the MD who recommends examine.com . His website is here: https://mikehartmd.com/ no issue with cannabis, but again... lifestyle / single topic medicine vs a normal internal medicine dr.

You are describing static typing. There is a well defined difference between strongly typed and statically typed.
5m^2 is too big for a car, and the panels are heavy and expensive. Toyota used to have a prius with a solar panel roof - it produced enough energy to run the fans (not the AC) while the car was parked on a hot day. Not even in the ballpark of the energy needed to move the car (and it was an expensive option).
There are ways in which personal action can shut down fossil fuel development/use. You could take extreme measures of sabotage, e.g. destroying equipment and infrastructure of the non-renewable energy sector. Less extreme measures could be non-cooperation with any institutions that are engaging in the carbon economy, e.g. by organising your workplace and going on strike till your employer divests from carbon.

Ask HN: How to stop over browsing/consuming information and start learning?
I am 40 and an electrical project engineer. I have no formal education in CS related fields.

I have this very bad habit of excessive browsing of HN, Twitter and Reddit for intellectual/math/programming/CS related contents even though I don't work in a industry which has any use of this. I have this constant urge to save everything I find interesting (through quick glance). This becomes more problematic because I usually have too much spare time. I have save thousands of links and PDFs but rarely have gone through any of them in detail. I am interested in too many things.

I was thinking today that in last one week I haven't actually learned even a simple thing in either math or programming or CS. In fact the stuff I have learned in last one year could have been learned in 1 week.

So how do I start actually consuming the materials in dedicated way? How do I control the urge to check HN or anything like that every now and then and start focusing on actually learning something? How do you tackle this issue?

I really wish things defaulted to "legal if not specifically prohibited", not "illegal unless specifically allowed" like this implies. (probably just a case of overly broad taxi legislation, though)

Maybe.

There's a chance you're seeing an unintentional side-effect of inclusion-oriented school projects getting hordes of people to Google stuff like "African American inventors".
Use duck duck go, yippy, gibiru, qwant, or any other of the many alternatives. Google's search is probably the most over rated product of our time when you look at the full cost of being a Google user. I haven't used Google search for more than 5 years and I am not missing anything.

Google search keeps the rest of the Google machine afloat. If consumers showed their distaste for Google's problems by using alternative search products they would get their act together faster than the average query time.
Yes, great solution to the problem. Let the fate of the human race rest on a single billionaire's personal project. Let's also not consider the fact that there is no physical way to shuttle humans off of planet earth fast enough to even keep up with reproduction rates.

> does Rust's await syntax support awaiting multiple futures?

No, but you use a join combinator, which itself returns a future, that you can then await.
I see what you're saying. Unfortunately that's not the only problem with monads. Monads have two problems:

- They're explained badly.

- Once they're explained well, many (including me) think it's a bad idea (not the monad, the motivation behind its use in pure-FP).

You start with a pure functional formalism, because you like to be stateless. Then you realize that avoiding statefulness is impossible in computing. So you try to shoehorn state into your stateless state of affairs (no pun), while at the same time refusing to admit that you're not stateless anymore.

The larger issue: some folks appear to think that imperativity is a subset of declarativity.

What that really means is that, they're saying that, computing is a proper subset of math.

And by that, what they're really saying, is that actions are a subset of words.

In other words, if you write something on a piece of paper that describes some action in the real world, (roughly speaking) that action happens or is supposed to happen automatically.

That's now how the world works. That's not how computers work. And I'm sorry to say that's not how programming works.

Computing is not a subset of mathematics. And Mathematics is not a subset of Computing. Same goes with Physics (Physics is not a subset of Mathematics, despite there being way more math used in Physics than CS).

Physics, Computing, and Mathematics are the holy trinity of the reality that we live in. You have to give each of the three the respect they deserve, and only try to make connections between the three, and NOT try to make any of them a subset of the other.
Thanks, for the compliment. I'll consider writing a blog post in the future.

I always thought this was a big problem for EVs, but recently came to think nightly charging might not matter so much for these drivers. If an urban apartment dweller has an EV with 200+ miles of range, can't a public fast charger be used once or twice a week instead? I lived in an apartment with a ~200 mile range ICE car and filled it less than once a week.
We could observe Iceland at the moment; their budget airline that offered cheap flights from Europe went bust in March. Tourist numbers fell, but apparently high-end hotel/package bookings weren't really affected, just the low-budget hotels.

But yeah, making it something just the elite can enjoy would not be fair..
I can believe that. But for a lot of people, the lower initial development time/cost aspect matters a lot. If I had Google resources, sure, I'd Go with other languages perhaps, but you can still write high-quality and capable software in Python. And while the batteries included aspect of Python is not everyone's cup of tea, I personally find it quite handy to have that so I don't have to waste a ton of time evaluating different libs to do fairly standard things.

To be clear - I'm not trying to say that Python is better in any objective way. Ultimately, I think people should use the tools they have available and prefer, to build what they want.
Exactly. Uber lost $5.24bn last quarter. With this new fine that loss would have been ... $5.24bn because I'm sure that's rounded anyway.
16.12 miles a day is not going to cut it. In your previous comment you suggested 50 miles a day. In various studies, Americans drive >30 miles a day.

16 miles would hardly even cover most American's one-way commute, let alone any other errands or trips.
Its an odd world we live in, where a 30 year old plane is considered more reliable and safe than one particular model of Boeing's "Next Generation lineup". That said there are 50+ year old planes still in service [0], so it is not too surprising that these old planes still work well enough to carry passengers to this day. It just that we would have hoped to have gained safety over all this time, instead of having one quite literal 'killer feature' inadvertently added.

What is it about the driving that doesn't seem reasonable for a computer to deal with?

It's not just the other humans, though that's a big part. There have been times when the condition and design of the streets and roads themselves have been challenging.
Frankly the issue is more that a lot of them are dreaming of a position that they are not ready for, and want that from the get go.

They are generally ill equipped, but do not regard position such as analyst and engineers which would give them the foothold they would need to enter that position after a couple of years.

What they have to learn goes far beyond coding and entails getting a sense for data, the business sense that goes with it, an understanding of how to put models, etl code etc.. into production...

Most is fairly hard to teach in a classroom and rather requires practical experience in a business context, so I think the issue is more of an expectation issue than an educational issue. Although it is partially exacerbated by programs such as "Msc of DataScience", that makes student believe they would be ready for these positions straight after graduation.
>It completely omits the part where people meet each other, talk and learn

It says mass tourist, not tourist.

Mass tourism doesn't allow for meeting people and learning, expect maybe superficially with other mass tourists or wait staff.
3. How exactly do I prove someone is real?

A quick google search shows this guy: https://twitter.com/drmikehart - you are welcome to tweet at him. Or at the others.

Why don't you just provide a link and save the user from having to google? I'd trust a link to a medical practice looking business website much more than to a twitter account.
I 100% agree with you and also despise this frame of mind. Funny how that works!

What I mean is, I do all the things (personally) that I can do - I don't eat meat or dairy, I hardly drive, I don't travel much, I work from home so I don't commute, etc. But, unless every single person does this (or heck, is even aware they _should_ be doing more themselves), I can't see it changing much.

The reason I don't like this "I'm just one person, it's insignificant" excuse reminds me of a few years ago, during the Final Fantasy XIV Online beta. Yeah, this is a silly comparison, but there were major issues with logging in, because the beta servers had reached their max capacity. You used to stare at the login screen hammering the Login button forever, and maybe you would _finally_ make it online.

What you ended up with, was that when players would finally be able to login, they would just idle instead of logging back out, so they wouldn't have to go through the login hell again (as there was no automatic idle-kick), thus continuing and even worsening the cycle of others not being able to login. If everyone had just logged out when they were not playing, far more people would have been able to play. But since "everyone else was doing it, my insignificant acts don't matter", no one got to login, and the world was filled with idle players who were AFK.

This went fairly off-topic but the core concepts at play are vaguely similar. People should generally act in a way that, if everyone were to do it, the world wouldn't descend into chaos.
I think proponents of this change are dramatically underestimating how difficult and limiting it will be to maintain seamless interop between two dialects of a language. Interop between languages is hard, and many of the features and changes that you might like to add to a "P++" would make it either expensive or verbose to call or be called by "legacy" PHP. Ultimately I think this could go one of two ways:

A. The "P++" effort ends up hamstrung by the need to maintain seamless interop with "legacy" PHP, and is therefore only able to implement a small subset of the clean-ups and enhancements they envision. It's not clear that this is better than continuing to improve PHP in a backwards-compatible way.

B. Changes to P++ make it so that interop with "legacy" PHP is either very verbose (specifying types, casting, etc.) or incurs a heavy runtime cost. To avoid this, most significant PHP libraries get a P++ clone, and the language effectively forks into two separate communities.

It would be awesome if it's possible to avoid this, but I haven't seen a specific technical proposal for a significantly improved language that maintains seamless interop.
