This article [0] talks about the acceleration performance of the latest Model S P100D variant at different states of battery charge. Bottom line is that unless the battery is under 10% it is faster than the Taycan.

All the stories about the S "overheating" seem to be talking about the older model or this article [1] about how a heavily modified S over heated at a race track. Porsche has to emphasize reputability because it's all they got. I mean they designed an electric sports car that is getting beat by Tesla's family sedan.

There is also the issue of how long the car can maintain it's top speed w/o overheating but I'm not sure Porsche is making any claims about that here and that's an issue with any car gas or electric.

Ask HN: Anyone interested in better Paddle.com reports?
Hi,

Anyone interested in better report generator for Paddle.com?

Automated export of all Paddle orders, refunds, chargebacks, VAT, fees, currencies and countries into a spreadsheet grouped by month or by year or by currency.

I developed it for myself, maybe it could be useful for somebody else.

If your ever have tried to export reports from Paddle, you know that they provide several disconnected reports on transactions, chargebacks and refunds. There was no easy way to get a simple spreadsheet with all this information in one place.

Example report output: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/133QXyD2vWFgBXbw10yWP0PRsz7h3LDrMJwDT4_9C2nc/edit?usp=sharing

There's another clear distinction: Telegram has proper native clients and an open protocol.
For rough estimations, doubling it 4 times and dividing by 10 is usually good enough

(300 << 4) / 10 = 480

When did nytimes start guessing whether I'm using private browsing? (not to mention they get it wrong, although I can guess why they might think I am using private browsing)

Luckily blocking all 1st party scripts fixes it, and makes the page a lot faster to boot.
This is not my experience. I didn't have to set up the satellite server, so maybe that's a pain, but it only has to happen once. Then it's one command on each client to register it with the satellite.

Is that how it works?

My impression was that the basic research was done in universities (with public funding) until there are some good patents, then the patents are transferred to some kind of private company that take the profits.

I don't know the procedures very well, so, I would be happy if somebody assure me that this is not the case.
Apologies, I meant "treatment" to mean "treat the condition", as in "make it better".

Gabapentin, Pregabalin etc can help with the pain, but not the underlying cause.

I haven't come across mexiletine before, but after a quick glance if looks like it's unlikely to be prescribed in the UK (I'm in the UK :).

I must have tried dozens of medications over the past 4 years or so, but it seems I have some dodgy genetics, as I can't tolerate most, or I have an atypical response (gabapentoids make me feel drunk, SNRIs nauseous, and tricyclics do absolutely nothing). I also tried topical gabapentin and capsaicin, but neither did anything.

> It's a fuzzy distinction because SFN is almost always a sign of an underlying cause (even if unknown)

For me it started when taking immunosuppressants for another condition - within a couple of weeks, the pain started and has been there every minute of every day for years since. I have 3 other immune-related conditions, one of which is rare, and I do believe all of these is related - but I'm resigned to the fact that I'll never find the underlying cause.
the aggregate value of the outstanding stock should go up by $1 billion

This isn't quite right. Look at it this way:

There is a company that has the following assets

1) $100 in cash
2) $100 in other assets

There are 200 outstanding shares, so each share is worth $1.

The company spends its $100 in cash to buy back 100 shares. So now its asset list is:

1) $100 in other assets

But there are now only 100 shares outstanding so each one is still worth $1.

So why do a buyback if it doesn't raise the share price? Two reasons:

1) it returns cash to the shareholders who want it (those that sell the stock)
2) future gains in value will now accrue to fewer shares of outstanding stock
Do you think we should get children’s consent for vaccinations? I guess my point is sometimes our parents make choices for us. Hopefully they make choices that better us not hurt us. And I know with circumcisions a lot of the time it is done for religious reasons. Your parents perhaps believed in god and were doing what they felt was spiritually needed within their religion. I am curious is this the case with your family?
I'm 23 and have been using computers very heavily for the last 10 or so years - probably an average of 6 hours a day. During a particularly intensive day of typing last week I started getting pain in my right hand. I had to resort to hunt-and-peck index finger typing to get the feature I was working on finished.

I'm horrified, it feels like I'm way too early in my career for something like this to happen, but I guess that's what happens when you do something so repetitive for tens of thousands of hours.

What in particular have you found success with that helps? I'm kinda in denial right now, it's already gotten better over Saturday but I know I shouldn't be ignoring it.
I'm sorry for companies that were planning on recovering part of their investment in Cisco hardware by reselling it a couple years down the road.

The translation that I learned in French is "Cueille le jour" ("Cueillir un fruit/une fleur" being equivalent to "picking a fruit/flower"). It is apparently the consensus translation in French [1]. It gives the phrase a very light tone, and makes it indubitably about the pleasures of life.

Indeed, "Gathering flowers as a metaphor for timely enjoyment is a far gentler, more sensual image than the rather forceful and even violent concept of seizing the moment."

That seems to be trading one type of lock-in for another. The problem with that approach is that now you have added a highly complex layer into your architecture that you need to maintain, integrate, and secure. I think it more likely that in AI, Amazon and Microsoft will continue to add more powerful cloud services making home-grown kubernetes solutions even less relevant.
That's the thing about getting old, you end up seeing enough examples of everything that you generalise and everything fits in your model of the world. Which also means some of the magic is gone, and possibly also your ability to recognise something genuinely new.
Clearly some candidates have learned from prev elections and some have not.
I hear you. I'm fortunate enough to have sit-stand desks at home and at work, and I notice if the height is even a fraction of an inch off. I also have them in standing position nearly all the time. I get sleepy if I sit too long.

There must be a way for you to solve this. For example, could you convert your desk to a standing desk by putting a sturdy box on top of it? I did this for a while using a wine box that happened to add just the right amount of height.

I was only using my ThinkPad at the time, no external monitors, so I didn't need to raise the whole desk. You could even accommodate a desktop keyboard and mouse using a bigger box.

If this works, your team will be impressed by your scrappy inventiveness! :-)
This completely ignores demand which pushes the stock price up in the short-term, and with less shares outstanding, each share has a larger % of the company. i.e. if you buy 50% of a companies outstanding shares, there's no way you're going to be able to acquire the last 50% at the same price and is why when most acquisitions are announced they are purchased at a premium over their current valuation/share price.

It's a form of returning capital to shareholders popular in US companies which by-passes US double-taxation of dividends and is often preferred by shareholders as they're able to choose when to realize their capital gains at their optimal convenience and at a cheaper tax rate than regular income.

But they're typically performed when the company believes their share prices are undervalued and would like to acquire them at their perceived discount.
Is that the Model 3 motors? I've heard that the Model S motors had a surprisingly high failure rate, many owners of the earlier models having had 5+ drive unit replacements. I'm guessing the Model 3 drive units are more reliable?

sigh, I agree. In my (unfortunately vast) experience with NHS doctors, it seems the majority have never had any training or even read a paper since they became doctors, and that they are trained to diagnose the obvious and write everyone else as a nutjob.

For example NHS endocrinologists mainly know about diabetes (even if somewhat outdated) and thyroid cancer - anything else, forget about it, you need to go private and see a specialist that doesn't have tunnel vision.

Find youtube pain points then work on those - Having new/good stuff people people want to see, and a way for them to search/access it easier than youtube provides...

If I cant find anything I want to watch, it doesn't work well on my platform, and/or it is more cumbersome to find stuff then its a no-starter for me.

I guess for creators it would be easy to setup, upload, and get validated; easy to find their channel/content and play it; easy to monetize (if that's their thing) they would be willing to give it a try.

This doesn’t change the fact that methodology A is the route that got us here.
> Gold only broke out two months ago.

The Fed only signaled a return to rate cuts two months ago.

I never said they "control" long-term rates, but they greatly influence them, especially in terms of how low they can go.

> The long end isn't the same. It is driven by return on capital (higher returns both seek out loans and can afford to pay more for them).

Like this?

> If there was long term mispricing we would see it in the tips market, and we don't.

I don't see that. It takes quite a while for overvalued asset prices to make a dent in the CPI, by that time it's more likely that the bubble has popped.
So many comments here along the lines of "So what, they're making an efficient use of capital." That's missing the point. So much of the argument behind the 2017 tax cuts and the Fed's low interest rates was that they would spur real investment (that is, investment which increases productive capacity or improves productivity) that would benefit everyone, mainly through jobs. If all this extra money is just resulting in a more tax-efficient way for companies to give money to their shareholders, which in reality is a small slice of the populace, highly skewed towards the wealthy, it's certainly worth it to call bullshit that these governmental moves that everyone ends up paying for only end up benefiting the wealthy.
yes, the article specifically talks about that. those issues exacerbate the problems from increased temperatures due to climate change.
Most games on the steam top games by player count list are from the 2000s/early 2010s. For example Dota 2, GTA V, Rust, TF2, GMod, etc... were all released before 2013. It's a bit later than what OP was saying but I think it still demonstrates that older games are typically more enjoyable: https://store.steampowered.com/stats/

So? People traveling to India are still going to be in India's timezone, and French covers virtually no one that English doesn't also cover.
We really still haven't done much to make the bad guys act like they have any intelligence at all. It's just swarms of unintelligent bad guys which cannot be faced head-on. Essentially because earlier generations of gamers kited, now most PC builds require kiting.

At the beginning of my career I toyed with the idea of specializing in game AI but decided I didn't want to write games for a living. I didn't entirely like what games were doing to my friends.

I recall that Halo 2 made a big deal out of the fact that part of compiling the game maps included putting metadata in about terrain and cover, which is why some of the mobs would hide behind crates when wounded. You had to play hide and seek with them the same way they had to do with you. I'd really like more of this. In theory these bad guys have been in this area for a long time. Of course they should use the terrain to their advantage.

And as you mentioned about lobbing grenades around corner, the reverse should also be true. If one grenade blew up in this spot nothing is stopping another one from coming. You should avoid that area for a while, and move to where you can shoot anyone who comes into it.

But I think the real problem is this Rambo model of games. In reality, a single assailant against a large number of armed defenders should never be able to attack their way into a base. They should be pinned down by the occupying forces until the ammo runs out. You could sneak in, but you can't just show up with a rifle or machine gun and get anywhere. But aside from the possible solution of harvesting comedy gold from this trope, this reality based model would be really, really boring.
> One could also argue the opposite, that commercializing an invention is much more obvious, faster and WAY CHEAPER step than inventing the tech need for it?

Not necessarily, or at least it doesn't readily compare. Sure, if I first have to develop all the physics dating back to Newton on my own, building a piece of electronics would be very expensive.

But let's say some researcher at a university discovers the field effect that could be useful for semiconductors. That researcher's lifetime salary will likely be far smaller than the cost required to actually bring their findings into the actual microprocessors.

> So we need both steps for progress, both the government trowing tax payers money on seemingly silly R&D, and entrepreneurs looking for new ways to monetize it later.

If we're talking about massive infrastructure projects, I agree that there's no one else but the government to do it. Whether those projects are warranted is a different matter.

However, if we're just talking about university R&D, it's not clear to me that if it wasn't for the government that it couldn't be financed. A university attracts students (and thus financing) in large parts because of its research.
We're talking “long-term” here, as in when the humans are using over a thousand times as much energy as they are now, so that it's cheaper to launch solar panels into fricking space than to upgrade the ocean-carpeting solar panel rafts blanketing much of the oceans to be 90% rather than 75% efficient. So yes, even before that point, solar energy harvesting will begin to have noticeable climatic effects.
This is correct. To clarify even further, the best way to think about this is that a shareholder now owns a bigger share of the company. So even if there isn’t growth, the amount of cash flow your share(s) represent has still gone up.

(Just wanted to clarify that the benefit is independent of the ticker price subsequently increasing)
We just need for that wealth to trickle down. Any day now..
> If there was any way this was true, then people born after 1999 would be itching to play games from the 90s and early 2000s, instead of the latest thing from EA and crowd.

Not necessarily. Games at that time targeted a quite very different audience than today's games. So people born earlier do not like these modern games and people born after 1999 are not itching to play games from the 90s.
You should see what happens when these people leave university and continue the charade in a variety of broken down diesels. A lot of the worst behaviour I have ever seen by people in travelling communities has been from the expensively educated children of the exceedingly rich, pretending to be gypsies.

Those sorts of considerations should only come in to play with extreme examples... it's a very heavy-handed approach to designing gameplay. Unless you're trying to make an experience very specifically something -- which I think works only in cinematic situations -- the game should be designed in a way that accommodates multiple playstyles. A lot of people begrudge heavy-handed game-design; it ruins player freedom/agency
Was hoping someone would say this. Times by 8 divide by 5 is super easy. And easy to reverse when you’re doing km to miles.
idk how this is a surprise. Companies have been going based on speculation. Using buyback they are skyrocketting their value, which is why this used to be illegal. And tax cuts cannot be used as a justification for adding more departments, because tax cuts are uncertain year to year, so best to base your business on known variables. So they take the tax cuts and then create more value. How could you expect them to do anything else?
> It’s tax efficient [...] It’s kind of strange that people hate on buybacks all the time (people like Elizabeth Warren), but no one gives a rat’s ass about dividends.

One follows from the other. It's because it allows a tax dodge.
Well they company say's its like a dividend but with out guaranteed result - what it does do is theoretically increase the share price and may allow executives to trigger bonus schemes.

I preferer the money - id make an exception for discount control on investment trusts though.
> Companies can create new shares out of nothing anytime they want.

Companies have a number of authorized shares and typically need shareholder approval to increase it. Sure, they typically set the number of authorized shares high enough to run into the problem with any frequency, they can't "create new shares out of nothing anytime they want."
Love your example, but to throw this aspect in, the market doesn’t always “value” companies the same way.

Therefore, in your above example if the shares were actually being sold at $2 each, then the company is doing a disservice to the investors by buying the stock back.

However, if the stock is under pressure (below its “fair” price), say 50 cents in the above example, then by buying the stock back, you are creating true value for your investors.

Problem of course is that rarely do people running the company think this way.
A company is not just worth its assets. All potential future valuations should be included (and some say the stock price reflects this).
Is the death penalty "cruel and unusual" punishment, or helpful?

There is no way to humanely force people to tell the public what they know. This doesn't really impact the accusations against him other than preventing people from asking him questions to which he lies as a response. His suicide does not erase the evidence, nor witnesses and accusers.
Interestingly, I found parallels for what she was describing in much of society these days. The comics, games, movies, anime, etc... industries are all going through this same sort of thing. And if you look at the skeletal structure of what she describes going on at Yale, it's mirrored almost perfectly in those spheres.
From an outsiders perspective I would think that people target interest groups to get campaign funds, then activists to to get campaign workers and last voters when there is just a short time left that neither money nor worker will improve polling results.

But then we have preliminaries and other pre-elections where polling results will influence where both money and people will go, so I would guess the split between the three goes up and down through out the years before general election.
What are the investors going to do with that money? Any answer other than "put it under a mattress" would lead to either consumption growth or investment growth. Even if they are putting it under a mattress, that would just lead to consumption or investment growth at a future date.
