The two motors in a Model S are different ratings. It seems that at cruising speed the car can choose the most efficient one to use and let the other one 'freewheel'.

Two motors probably gives better control over regen and certainly over braking but the regen rate seems to be determined by the battery, inverter, and design decisions. In my 2014 Model S 70D the maximum regen is about 50 kW, at least that's what the display shows, but the motors can develop at least 250 kW.

I suspect it is also limited for safety reasons, 250 kW of braking would give deceleration of about the same magnitude as the maximum acceleration. At 100 kph (27.8 m/s) the car has an energy of about 1.62 MJ so at 250 kW it would come to a stop in 6.5 seconds.

Actually my car does 0 to 100 kph in about 5.6 seconds so it clearly produces more than 250 kW.

Sorry for rambling on, your comment set me thinking and then I just had to check my working.
The three things that annoy me the most about the console:

1) state management/sync is frequently terrible. E.g you are looking at a page with some health indicator and a log view. The last entry in the log is some variation of "transitioned from busted to not busted", but the state indicator doesn't update until you refresh.

2) if you have multiple tabs open at a time (pretty common use case) there is a good chance it will suddenly decide that you have to reload the page for some reason, often when you are in the middle of something

3) live updating. Why the hell do I have to sit there hitting refresh on so many of the views to get up to date data? I've often sat there waiting for something to finish, only to realise it's been done for a while but the page has not updated. This seems closely related to (1).

I find the overall design of the console fine, generally the UI is manageable, but the actual implementation is a steaming pile.
Paris does both for reference, and it feels like both have a different purpose, geographical maps are great when you know the place you need to go on the city but nothing about the stations. The non geographical are great when you know the station to get off to, but not how to reach it
The console works, but the real power is in the API. The PowerShell API works extremely well and I write scripts for everything I need to do.

About charge based on distance. I don't know about NYC in particular, but I would not support that where I live without thourough understanding what actually drives the costs in the system. It is not uncommon that commuters in far away suburbs, that commute far, actually get quite poor service, considering for example number of options for transit. Fewer trains or buses, etc. My guess is that what drives the costs is staff, and staff per square km is most likely higher in central parts of the system. So a fair fee strucure could very well be completely different than per distance.
I can falsify your description just by reading it. Plaque is a soft goo. You’re probably describing tartar, aka calculus.

except, mental states are perhaps less stable than physical ones, ultimately, and using a 'web site' is largely a mental model on the part of the user, while a technical model on the part of the provider.

what I don't understand is how they get through the tests.
I'm using a flip phone right now with a different number and it's been great for a number of reasons.

- I am focused on creating instead of consuming every day. Instead of critiquing tech companies and their ethics, I am building one aligned with my moral compass. Instead of captions, I am writing posts for my blog on a number of subjects/interests.

- Clients have to reach me through email instead of wasting my time on the phone. A lot of them do not respect my time like I respect theirs. Having everything in writing makes it easier to manage projects.

- I've been traveling a lot over the last year and barely posted about it, this allowed me to just enjoy the places and focus on improving as a photographer using my Sony a6000. I don't care about posting the perfect caption anymore, I am absorbing the wisdom of the ages by experiencing what the great minds of the past did directly instead of through middle men.

- I am thoroughly done with 'influencers' who blast me with the same couple messages in different words every week. They are not influencing, they are preying on the attention of indecisive and unfocused people. Anyone who needs a Gary V-type to yell at them to get started isn't that serious to begin with if you ask me. Anyone who is traveling the world to take selfies while meditating is more narcissistic than 'woke'. Don't post about it, be about it. I've recently found out that Jay Shetty steals a lot of his content and is most likely lying about 'being a monk'. This irks me because he is making a mockery of actual monks I know.

- I've been spending more time with my 4-year-old nephew who is obsessed with trains and LEGOs. We have conversations now and I teach him as much as I can about the basics of math, engineering, design, writing, math.

- When in the car, I talk to the person I am with instead of looking at my phone. When at a meal, I am talking to the people I am with and not staring at my phone. When I am waiting in line, I am counting my blessing to have freedom and opportunity instead of scrolling and swiping.

- I have to actually know how to navigate cities now and this has been a good practice because cities are fascinating things. I stumble into all kinds of interesting things by 'accident' many times too.
How Will America Deal with Russia’s Interest in Afghanistan?
While it's true the vortex design has no moving parts and is thus inherently simpler, a regular old turbine is hardly a complicated machine. A bunch of fixed blades, some gearing, and an electric motor -- all of which are routine things that can be mass produced in huge quantities and have been for decades. Really the only serious difficulty with building out a modern turbine is the size of the blades and the transportation complexity of getting them to the site on existing road networks. And these Vortex things seem to be about the same size.
It is a huge pain in the UK and is rigidly adhered to.

Most of the "large" shops (I think there is a square-footage cutoff point) and shopping centres/malls must only open for 6 hours on a Sunday. So the normally 24/7 huge supermarkets that are the size of several football pitches and are usually packed full of people are forced to shut. This means that everyone needs to get out in the 6 hour window, so traffic is insane and the shops themselves are insane because all the shopping that normally happens spread across 24 hours has to be jammed into 6 hours. It is really annoying.

Smaller shops are allowed to stay open, so in the UK we now have a lot of smaller versions of the large 24/7 supermarket chain stores on high-streets that are typically open something like 8am-10pm/11pm/midnight 7 days a week. These are obviously much more popular than local businesses (cheaper, more reliable, loyalty schemes) so all small independent businesses (greengrocers, bakeries, small grocery stores, hardware stores, stationers, newsagents etc) are being forced out of business.

I wish that one day this silliness would be abolished.

> Every human who takes these drugs will suffer through the misery.

Blatantly false. Not everyone you uses XYZ drug ends up a hopeless addict. The vast majority of people use the drug with no long term negative effects addiction, including methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine et al

> No such thing as "I'm too strong to be affected by this drug." (heroin, crystal meth.)

Sure they will effect you

> Or "I can quit whenever I want." (opium, flakka.)

Within addiction, sure. Non-addiction use, false. You can stop whenever you want. Getting addicted to a substance is not as easy as people think. You need to be using through the day for multiple days in a row. You can use heroin every weekend without getting addicted, so long as you stop during the week

The risk that wind turbines pose to birds is already very small. Wind farms kill 440 thousand birds per year. Meanwhile, building windows kill about 500 million, and cats another 500 million. A standard wind turbine kills 4.27 birds per year, so of course you shouldn't build a massive wind farm in an area with endangered birds.

Outside of that case, what if the whole US was powered by wind energy? That would mean 315333 wind turbines, causing 1.34 million bird deaths per year. That's still negligible compared to cats, windows, hunting or communication towers.

sources:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_wind_p...

I think you’re right on. I worked as a lead for a startup that ended up with all these credits in SoftLayer years ago, and we steered into a Vyatta network setup that was fairly complicated and I had to really learn a bunch of networking in real-time. But understanding a lot of underpinnings made it super easy to map to aws primatives, and appreciated because what they do with vpcs/networking kills so much complexity.

Usually when I’m getting into a new area of aws I try to find what they’ve built the technology with. Then I try to go get a good base in that technology, then figure out what AWS has done and understand why/reasoning. This also helps alleviate common concerns about only learning some aws stack. Learn both things, one might one day become less relevant, the other will help you build solid base understandings that last longer.

Loads of cars had an overdrive and it made a significant difference to fuel economy at high speed.

I certainly agree with you, but both as a developer and as an end user.

As a developer, writing responsive web apps provides decentralization, not being a slave to a monopoly platform, being able to push frequent updates, etc.

As an end user, I almost always prefer web versions over native apps. I have a very small number of iOS apps installed, like a very good Go game, Chess game, a few development tools on my iPad, and my bank’s app.

On my MacBook and Linux laptops I have open source software development tools and Firefox.

I hope I don’t sound too political here, but I feel the need to constantly push back against corporations and uphold my rights as a tiny minority (me!, not a democrat, republican, vegetarian, whatever). I sometimes choose to be a paying customer of Google, Apple, Amazon, and Microsoft for services that I highly value, but they don’t own my loyalty except for a few products that I am at this time happy to pay them for at this moment in time.
I've been working remotely for about 18 years, and I've consistently chosen to live in major cities throughout (NYC, LA, Seattle, and now back home to Chicago). I love being able to walk or take public transportation to everything. I have a car if I need it, but I like to not _need_ it. As far as I'm concerned, working remotely and living in a major city is the best of both worlds.

I think the best/simplest advice on money for me personally comes from 'rich dad, poor dad" and 'the richest man in babylon'

- understand the difference between things that bring money and things that take(spend) money
- pay yourself 10% first.

Served me well so far.

> Alternatively, invest in your own education (degree, or one-year sabbatical, or else).

This is really good advice that I think I already put to use, 5 years ago when used my saved 10k to take time off of work and teach myself how to code, and went form unskilled worker to a web developer. I understand I'm not a real engineer, just a guy who "makes buttons', but I enjoy it and it pays handsomely.

> some people WANT to own a house for psychological reasons

This makes sense and, I guess, part of me feels that way. But I'm definitely not controlled by it. I've lived pretty frugally my entire life (10 years that I've been an adult) and at this point looking for an upgrade in a lifestyle. I don't want to be in my 30's living with roommates. So new place is going to be much better/more expensive. I understand that I'm gonna be losing money on it. So the question is, do you pay ~2k/month for rent, or you pay ~2.5k/month for a mortgage?
I understand none of it will make me better financially, so if framing it as "which will lose less?" - I'm fine with it.

Haven't read the article yet, will do shortly.
If I were at a small startup as an engineering manager and the CEO told me to outsource to save money, I would try very hard to convince him to outsource within the country. Employees are cheaper while the timezone and skill set remain high. It obviously is nowhere near as cheap as Vietnam or India, but so much better even with 1/4 as many devs.

That outsourcing conversation I had at every single startup I worked for, and I greatly hope the trend to remote work continues.
The true costs of research and publishing in my field of art history
Yesterday, or at least when I remember the craze of moving from suburbs to the city, city real estate cost around 50% of what it does today. Property costs have inflated a lot alongside the popularity of living more concentrated.

So it stands to reason that the pendulum now swings the other way. People are very good at sussing out the economics of a trend that used to be profitable but no longer is.
> Have any politicians pledged to solve the problems?

Much the opposite, unfortunately. The governor, Andrew Cuomo, is in charge of the MTA. He
1. Falsely claims that he is not in charge of the MTA and denies any responsibility for its problems.
2. Wastes resources on frivolous projects he thinks will look good when he runs for president. For example, he championed a project to put WiFi on buses. This was pointless for most New Yorkers because you could already just use LTE.
3. sometimes, similarly, forces the MTA into idiotic schemes. See the debacle when Cuomo decided he’d like to be the L train hero https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2019/02/13/cuomos-new-l-train-sh...
4. In April, Cuomo reportedly felt that MTA chief (and true subway hero) Andy Byford was getting too much credit for improving the subway and allegedly came close to firing Byford. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/19/nyregion/cuomo-andy-byfor...

Ultimately, the MTA is a mess because of misplaced accountability. The governor needs to appeal to upstate voters to get elected, and only NYC people care about the subway. Ideally, the mayor of NYC should control the MTA and be accountable for its performance. In practice, many New Yorkers falsely believe the mayor is in charge(!), thanks in large part to Cuomo’s misinformation campaign in #1 above.
