>can't a public fast charger be used once or twice a week instead?

It takes me less than 2 minutes to fill up my tank and pay, now you want me to sit 1-4 hours at a fast charger a week twiddling my thumbs?

Never mind the fact a Tesla Model 3 starts at my annual salary.

>> low engagement/low value to Google’s ranking analysis.

Measuring engagement is great for shallow content, if you even can call it that. We see that all across the net.

But high-value, in-depth knowledge, is very often relatively boring.
Nobody in the entire comment chain brought up distance except for you, which you kicked off by suggesting 50 miles daily usage.

Regardless, even your drastically lower 16 miles a day isn't going to satisfy the needs of the average driver.
Or carbon-neutral liquid fuels for use cases where you absolutely need an ICE-type vehicle with 300+ mile range. e.g. synthetic gasoline or biofuels. Unfortunately, those fuels really need a carbon tax to be competitive with fossil fuels.

Amazing, Uber urges employees to not comply with regulators? Wow what an attitude. Hope they get their asses handed to them and that the house of cards that is Uber comes crashing down spectacularly, and soon.
Haha, well, I'm skeptical that obscure exegesis is much of a way to get closer to God, though maybe for this audience it could be.

As it's impossible to quantify the unknown, when we approach a subject we're not familiar with, our bias is to assume it's very simple. So I think it's helpful to dig in a little to give a hint at the vast amount of scholarly work done on these subjects.
Yeah. The ideal could be for repair shops to have a provably diligent repair process (e.g. imagine repair shops doing repair under a camera akin to a Rossmann stream). (Insert visions of blockchainy contract stuff here). Think the question is whether it’d be practical - perhaps it could be regulated into existence over certification/nda programs but even then the value of the object itself may need to be higher. The startup Mattereum comes to mind, seemingly theyre starting out in high value areas (vintage violins, collectibles, real estate)
You’d expect offices in the US to be familiar with US states and territories, but that doesn’t stop them from occasionally demanding a passport from people from New Mexico, or saying a license is fake because there’s no such state as “District of Columbia.”
Plenty of travel (both commutes and long distance travel) which is too lengthy for bicycles / scooters, but doesn't have public transit servicing it.
the sentence above the one you quoted states that Uber is illegal in Colombia.

Uber isn't a registered company in Colombia, which means it's operating illegally.
Yup. Around 15 minutes' worth of losses.
As the sibling comment said, I'm not proposing checking types in unit tests, I'm proposing checking that the behaviour is correct.

If there's a code path that passes in a bare string instead of a list, and your logic breaks, then that code path should have a failing test case. However, type hints can provide another opportunity to catch this kind of mismatch before they even get committed.

> under some circumstances it seems irresponsible to choose it over other viable options like Go (if you use Python because it's easy)

This is probably true, but I think people tend to overuse this argument (i.e. use an overly broad set of "some circumstances"). I build fintech apps with Python, for example, and don't find any of these issues to be a
problem. In my experience, if you implement sound engineering practices (thorough testing at unit, integration, and system levels, code review, clear domain models, good encapsulation of concerns, etc.), then the sort of errors that bite you are not ones that a type checker would help with. I agree that the worst Python code is probably far more unsound than the worst Go code, but I don't think that's the correct comparison; you should be comparing the Python and Go code that _you_ (or your team) would write.

I think it's easy to be dogmatic about this kind of thing; in practice most people are substituting personal preference for technical suitability. Sure, there are cases where the performance or correctness characteristics of a particular language make it more suitable than another. But for most software, then whatever your team is expert in is the best choice.
The Interlocking Puzzle That Allowed Life to Emerge

Quite ironic though. Only five years ago I doubt Cliff would have invested time in thinking about this (I did work for him). The fact that AQR is paying attention and feels the need to express themselves on the topic speaks volumes.
You have to add "redesigned cities" to that list. Electric vehicles are almost as much a patch for ICE cities as they are a replacement for internal combustion.

The "fix" is easy. Immediately cease all usage of hydrocarbons. Oh, that's completely ridiculous? Okay fine, then we need to immediately scale back our use and come up with a plan to reach zero as soon as possible. Oh, we're going to use more hydro carbons next year than this year? and we use more this year than the last even though we knew we were in trouble?

The real question now is when do we realize how deeply in trouble we are and when does the panic set it and what will happen when that does. I look around my office and I see thousands of people working hard to ship more stuff around the planet while posting signs about reusing cups to save the environment! Talk about climate denial! I see active real estate projects building million dollar condos in areas that will be destroyed in the next decade by increased damages from storm surges. We haven't even start to feel the impact of climate on food supply.

Once people realize how much trouble we're in that will be a consequence all it's own.
> Trademarks are a different matter, but getting an EV cert for a company that has the same incorporated name as a different company in a different state is completely legal.

It is legal. But it's also much more easily traced (even through various shell companies as process agents want to get paid), which compared to the way most crime works on the internet is infinitely more risky for the perpetrator.

Also, companies like banks regular scour business records for similarly named businesses, which means the window for fraud is smaller. I'm not surprised that someone would find it easy to spoof Stripe, but let's see how long they manage to spoof PayPal or Bank of America. If they don't already, EV certificates should issue only after the named entity has existed for N months (or years).
>> keeping the price of food artificially inflated, maybe your local means of production isn't real great.
>Really makes you think about how Europe did for thousands of years before our great American saviors helped us. Local food wasn't expensive before globalisation, talk to your grandparents you'll see how different things were not so long ago.

So what? French consumers choosing American import meat over locally sourced meat is not America's fault.
The parent's point totally stands, whether you like it or not. If French consumers have a choice between locally sourced meat and imported American one, and the majority buys the latter, then that's obviously on the French.

I mean, think what the alternative even means: The majority of French consumers would choose American meat, yet a minority of French farmers would rather disallow their own people to have a choice. If these farmers are so integral to French society, then surely that same society would buy locally sourced meat. But they apparently wouldn't/don't.

>> You don't get to force people to do business with you.
>But apparently you get to say "Accept our subpar products or we will make you pay!", and I genuinely fail to see the difference in practice. If this isn't some form of abuse of authority I don't know what it is.

That's literally just normal trade between countries. France does that just like every other entity involved in global trade that has to keep its own interests in mind(meaning all of them.)
Sure. If your commute is 15% of your range, you’d be able to charge once a week. I’m pretty sure most people could work out a multi-hour stopover near a charging station into their week. Put them near a restaurant, arts, or shopping district and bingo problem solved.
Uber has been an deliberately criminal organization from day one. Many of their executives should be in prison, but they have suffered no meaningful consequences. Nothing will change.

I've never found the "Use this specific IDE" defense particularly valid, considering that many IDEs don't have these features and that in other languages the compiler itself protects you.

Needless to say, I was not using Pycharm for this development, nor am I likely to install an entire IDE just for a small change I'm making on a random project. It's a non-trivial burden to configure and learn an entire IDE, vs just using what I already know (which is often just emacs).
It’s even worse for people using prepaid banking cards like GoBank. I got issued one of these debit cards from an employer. Months later, someone skimmed my debit card presumably at a gas station. While at home, someone withdrew $265 out of my account.

I call to report it. The 800 number says you can email the dispute but an operator told me that was outdated. I’d have to mail it into a PO Box. I repeatedly asked if they would inform law enforcement as dozens of other people’s cards were likely stolen.

Approximately a month later, GoBank responds and denies my dispute. I then searched for the executives, emailed them, someone called me and the next day my money was returned. Yet I’m assuming no one investigated the actual theft.

If you ever have problems communicating with customer service people, the only thing you can do is email the executives and suddenly you have a real person capable of understanding and making actual decisions.
Ask HN: Any Good Alternatives to Google Trips?
I drove my Model 3 from Cannon (very far in Northern New Hampshire) to Cape Cod (south of Boston) just stopping to charge once.

BTW, if you can do a minivan, my other car is a Pacifica plugin hybrid. It has some problems charging off of 240 volts, but it does about 30 miles on a charge. I almost never use gas.
I think it works if the fast charger is at e.g. a shopping center where you can grab dinner or shop while the car charges.

Important note here - this is not equivalent to the typical powder metal sintering printers that people are probably thinking of based on the title, which are still in the $100K+ range. This is an example of normal FDM printing with metal-infused filament and then fusing the layers in a furnace, which is quite a bit easier to accomplish, but also messier and more time consuming.

A few people are working on metal powder sintering at lower price points, but I haven't seen any massive progress in that space lately.
That doesn't work in many low density areas (prime example is American suburbia). So your answer for those people is to make them move to a more dense area that can support such solutions. Which isn't a bad idea, but it's a much harder thing to accomplish.
Gaslighting is where an abuser says and does unexpected things that make the abused doubt their perceptions and sanity. I learned about it in film class in college. Suddenly people are using the term to describe all sorts of actions that don’t seem to fit that mold (but that involve some sort of ill intent). What gives?
Nice try on changing the goalposts. Success is not the value being compared, so your argument is immaterial. I had thought you were making a different argument in my last reply.
There's no free market in China. The government is pretty strict in banning foreign enterprises (that can only operate in China if they're co-owned 50% by Chinese) in order to develop local companies. So basically restricting the more powerful player and empowering the less powerful one. That (i.e. non-free markets) has worked wonders for them.

HTTPS encryption itself doesn't meaningfully require public key infrastructure, it's just that without PKI, you don't know who sent the encrypted traffic

In other words, HTTPS encryption meaningfully requires some kind of public key infrastructure.

Without some kind of infrastructure, the whole system falls to any active attacker --- and almost all modern attackers in the TLS threat model are active.
>Nobody likes state run agencies and everyone loves defunding them.

I think there is a general sense of american exceptionalism when it comes to bureaucratic incompetence. It is hard for citizens to point to any well managed government agency.

Sometimes this is a self fulfilling prophecy due to defunding, but more often I suspect it is due to lack of accountability and negligence.

Take the CA DMV for example. No one is accountable for the horror show that is our backlogged paper based system .
They won't. Nothing will change.

They all hide under the cover of "disruption" when there were ways to do all this without breaking the law and flaunting regulators.
OpenTracing was always possible to run in the browser and trace across the entire stack (end-to-end)
Ok, dumb question. If apparently any kind of technique to intercept an HTTPS stream makes security experts frown, how are you actually supposed to inspect them if you have a legitimate reason? (e.g. monitoring unusual behavior of your own system)

Or is the security best-practice to just trust any app not to upload my contact list?
That's not the parents point though.

If users act as though it's a dodgy site, how is google supposed to know whether it isn't? You could argue that the wrong heuristics are being used, I'm not sure the technology is there to do it any other way though?
I think you'll see a lot of "40 minute" chargers at places like grocery stores, or anywhere where you already park for about an hour on a regular basis.
Does technology make for better policing?
Under any practical consideration, free will is nothing more than an emotion; it offers you no capabilities, only a propensity to respond to things in a certain way. Without a useful definition of free will that offers something different to this, you won't have a key to anything.
No offense, but deep in the mountains or out in rural northern Ontario, etc. where I'd like to go... will be the last place that DC fast chargers will go.

I'm a big fan of the EV movement, I'll own a BEV someday, but I feel that GM and EV-boosters in general have thrown the Volt-type range extended EVs under the bus. It is an amazing technical achievement and with the right marketing and product development could take the market by storm.

(I don't consider the Volt a PHEV, btw, but a range extended electric vehicle. It is the only "plugin hybrid" on the market that can operate purely electric without using the gas engine. And even when the gas engine kicks in, it performs like an EV.)

Longer range might let you get the frequency of charging stops down to a similar schedule as a gas car, but it doesn't do anything about the length of those stops.

In terms of time at the pump for a gas vehicle that gets 25 miles per gallon, and time on the charger at the newest Supercharger that Tesla announced a few months ago for an EV, to add enough gas or add enough charge, respectively, for a given number of miles, it takes about 15 times as long on the EV.

That's assuming a gas pump that can pump 10 gallons per minute, which is the fastest rate allowed by law in the US. A lot of pumps aren't that fast, so in practice the gas car might only "charge" 5 to 10 times faster than the fastest charging EV.

If someone goes in every 250 miles, then we are talking a minute at the gas pump best case (for a 25 mpg car), and 15 minutes for an EV, best case. With the gas car, that's fast enough that many people don't even have to think about it--they just go about their business and whenever the see that it is low, stop and get gas. You only need a little slack in your schedule to add an impromptu fill up. With the EV, you'll have to plan more, allowing for the longer charge breaks in your schedule (or stopping more often for shorter range changes).

I think the answer for dealing with EVs for people who do not a way to charge at home will not be the electric gas station model (unless charging can get an order of magnitude faster). Those stations will be for people passing through. For people who aren't just passing through, I think the answer will be to build charging stations at key places that people already visit regularly for 15 minutes or more at a time. Supermarkets, Walmart, Target, and places like that.
I don't have any solutions to your last statement, but one of the problem is that legal name of the entity matching doesn't really mean its the same entiy you think it is - the example ( also in the original page): https://stripe.ian.sh/
Totally agree. Its organised crime.
I think this points out the elephant in the room: why are so many people in supposedly high income cities not able to buy properties? This is an issue that needs to be solved hand in hand with pollution: less travel, less need for a car, and more living outside overcrowded cities means more living space. So how can we move more jobs to suburbs, where people can work at nearby or home locations and can afford more living space? I seriously struggle understanding why at least tech jobs are so centered around crowded cities, when these could really be located in tech clusters or tech cities on the outskirts.
Not sitting twidding your thumbs. If they are near somewhere you want to be recreationally, you’re set. The gym, the grocery store, the movies, a hiking trail, spending 1-4 hours at one of these once a week would likely enhance your life not take away from it.
Interesting article from CityLab on why plugging public transit EVs into a city can be more challenging and expensive than originally planned: https://www.citylab.com/transportation/2019/06/electric-bus-...

"That’s what Philadelphia discovered when it decided to expand its existing fleet of e-buses with newer models—ones that featured bigger batteries. The city failed to recognize in the early planning process that it would be prohibitively expensive to acquire land in its busy downtown area for charging stations along the bus routes. So they decided to install all the charging infrastructure in the bus depots."
They probably just want to discourage one person from hogging one charging station all day.

How else would you set up incentives so that many workers can share one charging station?
> To be clear, do you really think it's likely that good neighborhoods are shaped _primarily_ by factors independent of who lives in them?

I do not - I was pointing out the contradiction. Although to be fair, the way schools are funded in the US complicates this. If a neighborhood becomes low-income, then the schools will get less funding as well, as I understand it, because schools are funded from neighborhood-level property taxes.
I used to use PEGs because they possibly compose better than other grammars - it may be the case that you can combine two PEGs and get a PEG that still makes sense. I'm not sure if this is a property of other approaches to parsing.

I don't know much about it, but I believe ppm is what instruments measure, and how that translates to temperature rise is going to depend on the climate model?

You might have better luck looking for what climate models predict. It's not going to be basic math since climate is complicated. Maybe there is a toy model based on linear effects, but that's going to be a crude summary at best.
Ah yes, the mandatory electric car. That's totally something that is in the article and is also going to happen.
