The pricing is more complicated than that. There is no way to buy a Model 3 at 35K$ in Europe. In France for instance, the minimum price is a whopping 48K€. Source : I wanted to buy a Model 3 in France.

- 35K$ is actually 39K$, excluding the off the menu version. You can't buy a Model 3 without Autopilot anymore, even though I don't care about Autopilot. And I'm not even sure you can buy the "off the menu" version of the Model 3 in France. So the base price is 39K$ which is 35.4K€.

- You add the Trump tariffs, eg 10%. Model 3 is now 38.9K€.

- In France (Europe ?) all prices are after VAT, which are again 20%. Model 3 is now 46.7K€.

- Tesla adds a couple grands to the price to move the car overseas. The least expensive price available in France is 48 600 €.

- They pre-deduce the French carbon bonus (6K€) so they can say they sell the Model 3 at 42 600 €, which is a lie.

In France the median price for new cars is around 27K€. In my opinion there is clearly room for electric vehicles priced between 27K€ (median) and 48.6K€ (Model 3 before carbon bonus).

After being very disappointed with the Model 3 French pricing, I'm currently interested in the Nissan Leaf. I will now also follow what Volkswagen is doing with the ID.3.
I think it will cut down on those massive Steam sales, which basically work by encouraging people to buy a bunch of games they don't actually want and won't play.

I think that might cut down on the diversity of titles, but also could drive up quality.
Who brought up social justice activists?

I have no idea how social justice activists relate to anything in this article or anything in this comments section.

If anything, Propublica could be put in the camp of "social justice" activist journalism.

It seems like there's an unfortunate trend to group anything we don't like or makes us uncomfortable under the rubric "social justice" activist. This is vague, non-specific, and poor communication practice.
We're not gonna throw out one of the core tenants of modern democracy because some people get sick if they get too much exposure to it.
Actually I'd really like a good user config system. dconf already works pretty well for GUI-environment related things. The problem with the win registry is it isn't all tied up and schema'd. So deleting an app doesn't delete its registry entries (at least for traditional win32 apps).

For /etc I'm not so sure, I've really come round to .ini style files.

I just hope the LDAP integration of this works well. I have a feeling that Poettering won't give a shit if it doesn't work with Active Directory...

And more PKCS#11 support would be great, I love my smartcards :)
I've been using "pro fossil / anti EV / global warming denial" as a pretty useful heuristic to filter the Great Comments Section of Real Life for a while now. Usually goes hand-in-hand with being a Leaver and general contrarian.

To your point, I've found that petrolheads are pretty common even in tech.

I installed Adguard myself after reading this post — it appears as though they've split the functionality into many extensions, and only a few require full-page access. I'm trying it without those "advanced" extensions enabled and it seems to be doing just fine.
In the study, the participants reduced activity for a period of 14 days, with the results being fully reversed after 14 days of resuming normal activity. So I read the quoted recommendation above is to avoid sedentary periods that are on the same order of magnitude (multiple days) vs. avoiding sedentary periods within a single day.

An anecdote: I had a short term knee issue that kept me off my mountain bike for most of the summer. What I didn't do was figure out a replacement activity for the 6-8 hours / week that I used to ride. I just did ... nothing and that had the predictable effect. Now that I'm recovered and riding 6-8 hours / week again, everything is returning back to normal.
But at what point do those platforms have a monopoly on distribution? I run my own Mastodon server and really enjoy the platform a lot more than Twitter, but the vast majority of people just use the big things that are out there.

Facebook and Twitter may own their own platforms, but the collective value given to them by society and their ability to distribute ideas and change opinions globally should be deeply troubling and of great concern.

It can even be said large platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Google and even stores like Amazon are kinda their own States in some ways. They have governance. They have voters (shareholders). They have policy and negotiate policy with other governments via lobbies, and they can control what people see and persuade how people think.
> So it would be interesting to find out whether the PR campaign actually changes anyone's behavior.

That's begging the question as to whether the behavior needs changing.

Is there a pervasive trust/integrity problem in China?
Seth Vargo is a brainwashed hypocrite! Good job MSM for muddying the water and confusing people.

Seth Vargo did not care when Obama did it, only Trump? You know, Trump admin asked for money money to be able to suppose the HUGE INFLUX of illegals coming to the border but were denied those funds. (maybe got more $4 now) People had worse conditions under Obama in those places than Trump. Ice is just doing their job. </rant>
Yup, everyday you step out into the streets in America and must dodge bullets. At every moment. That's sarcasm by the way.

Gun crimes are still dropping. Our coverage however is increasing. What I love is when people confuse gun crimes and gun deaths. Do you know what gets counted in gun deaths but not gun crimes? Suicide. But the USA gun deaths get related to the rest of the world's gun crimes. I will say we have a suicide rate problem. It's actually really bad. But when you hear people defend communists, the same group in any other country makes the Nazis look like amateurs when it comes to genocide... suicide does look like a decent option. To be honest too, I imagine eating a bullet is more attractive than hanging or bleeding to death. Anyways, every time communism arises, "We're all for peace and tranquility and to achieve that we must kill a lot of people who don't agree with us on a philosophical level and we pick a social group the majority will enjoy watching get killed." But oh, the communists are all about unity and peace and "philosophical expansion against imperialism and oppression" that is some how different from the standard definition of imperialism and straight up murder.
>> Folks concerned about consistency and peak load shouldn't be. We're making huge strides in energy storage

Solar peaks around noon 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm (I am being charitable here) do we have solid storage that would hold this generated power for delivery from (4:00 pm - 7:00 pm) peak ?

That 4 to 6 hour storage window is still a big issue - if you are talking about Sodium batteries we are a decade or more away from them to be grid scale!

(The reference [1] article still suggests it is in labs not in production)
Thanks for saying this. "Repentant" meat eater here. Every time I eat meat, it came from an animal that enjoyed being alive and didn't want to die. More people should hunt and fish, and know what it's like to take the life that you're going to eat. I think people would feel a sense of obligation to the animal's quality of life, in light of the sacrifice they are making.

Sorry it's slightly off topic, but wanted to thank you for creating common ground. If I try to make it topical, I think conversations like this between different points of view overall reduce extremism.

At Google Next in April, I attended a talk by the C-level in charge of Google's Datacenters, and they bragged about using machine learning to manage/anticipate their power draw, and the subsequent efficiencies those brought. They also bragged about how much they're trying to make these centers powered by renewables.

When an audience member asked if they would be releasing their models that help them manage power, the speaker quickly changed the topic, which I felt told me all I needed to know about the sincerity of their motivations.
Look, even if by some miracle, building permits are easier to get and more lenient; there’s a reason for “excluding people” and it’s not gatekeeping surplus housing. Supply is just limited. It will always be too limited due to geography and other conditions. Ie the thing stopping people from living where they want is that there’s not enough places available to everyone. Regardless of the economic system used to distribute this finite resource (money, lotteries, etc...), no matter what the end result will be the same: not everyone will get housing.

While there are a lot of nice things here, people mainly want to be here because of the jobs. If you help distribute the jobs via remoting, it will really help in reducing demand for very limited resources

Poor justification when just about any other extension API is still a gigantic gaping hole.
It is still a pretty good assumption that on-shore is significantly cheaper, even including grid integration costs. After all, a significant portion of off-shore wind's cost is the expensive seaborne transmission.
It’s clearly not the same thing, but these jobs really are stressful. The article’s repeated mentions of taking a break is meaningful in that context because these people can be on edge for long periods. The flight or fight response did not evolve to deal with internet videos.

People working in slaughter houses often learn to separate themselves from what’s going on, people that don’t learn that end up quitting. However, these researchers need to stay engaged and actually think through the details.

Among law enforcement it is not the jobs that have the highest risk that always have the highest turnover. People dealing with extremely unpleasant images and video for most of their day apparently have on staff psychologists and high burnout.

That's why you hide the trick behind a zero-cost abstraction which checks at compile-time if the platform supports this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ephemeralization

> Ephemeralization, a term coined by R. Buckminster Fuller, is the ability of technological advancement to do "more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing," that is, an accelerating increase in the efficiency of achieving the same or more output (products, services, information, etc.) while requiring less input (effort, time, resources, etc.).[1] Fuller's vision was that ephemeralization will result in ever-increasing standards of living for an ever-growing population despite finite resources.
Thanks for pointing this out.. I (like most other US citizens) have zero idea of what things are actually like in Russia. The news reminds us daily that Russia is a frozen hellscape filled with miserable savages, Russians are the 'bad guys' of choice in a disproportionate amount of high visibility movies and Netflix shows (Stranger Things season 3 comes to mind), our school system teaches kids next to nothing about the country.

It's a bit reminiscent of North Korea's daily news blasts showing fabricated footage of how miserable life in SK and USA is. Probably not as extreme a slant going on here, but there's an awful lot of anti-Russia sentiment floating around with no readily apparent basis in fact.
It sounds to me like this is going to be a mess of competing lower court opinions until a high court somewhere comes down on one side or the other.

"I remember seeing a program that claimed this is because soldiers today are trained to kill against their natural instinct.
So traditionally only 20% of soldiers could actually kill, which would explain the low casualty rates in older battles pre-ww2."

That's a good observation, and not one that I thought of, but it does bring up the question of organized combat in the other 95% of human history. It would surprise me if a Roman got much choice in the matter from his friendly local Centurion.
CppCon 2019: Andrei Alexandrescu “Speed is found in the minds of people”
This will, in my opinion, be one of the great debates of our time. Does a private company have the right to choose which opinions can be expressed on its platform? It's really hard to choose.
That's a nice anecdote. What's the average new and not new car selling price?
Sure, but in the case presented by great-grand-parent is a leaf commit with an unknown providence.

At the very least I don't think it's "totally stupid", even if I know it's not a panacea for all ills.
Conferences don't exist to convey information. You can learn stuff from conferences, but I don't think I've ever been to one where people were talking about things that weren't already publicly available on the internet. (An exception might be conferences like Apple's WWDC, since that's a place for the company to announce proprietary info)

When people attend conferences, they're doing it to be seen. That's true whether you're on stage or off. Everyone thinks they're awesome, or if they don't then they probably want to be awesome. People with big egos, though we get jealous of them, get big attention. If you act important, chances are you'll make people think you're important. It's all business.

If you're at a talk that's truly unbearable, just tune out or walk out if it's that bad. I've done this a bunch of times when a person's egotism is too cringy or when some malcontent is being way too preachy. The latter seems to becoming more common. Barf. Sorry, you're not making me pay thousands for this shit so I can be told I'm dumb.

Check your egos? Why are you even going to conferences?
Remind HN: Put contact info in your profile if you'd like to be contacted
I've had discourse with about a dozen folks over the last few weeks who have wanted to keep in touch, but their profiles are missing contact info.

I have usernames in an XLS to revisit later, but for now, I cannot contact you.

Make sure you have an email address in your bio if you'd like to stay in touch!

Edit: the email field is not visible to others. You would need to put it into the about textarea to make it publicly visible.
Well, I dare to say that almost every conference speaker has at least a "sufficiently sized" ego. Otherwise they won't be speaking at a conference about $topic.
Would that be compliant? I'm not convinced it would be. What would stop Steam from making their cut 99% to basically make reselling pointless?

The logical interpretation, I would think, is that Steam should have to allow customers to turn their games back into keys.
Funny how you can make the same comment about physical goods. Should we ban selling second hand furniture?

With laws like this you generally have to ask what's best for the consumer. I'm not sure reselling is.

The current setup gives furniture salesmen a somewhat predictable revenue model and on the strength of the model they can encourage investors to put ip money to make furniture. Changing the revenue model may change how investors look at the marker. Maybe for better maybe for worse. Who knows, but it would be a disruption if IKEA has to adopt this model worldwide.

The thing that I don't like is if you allow reselling then carpenters get less long-term revenue. This will cause them to focus more on getting a big opening month than making solid furniture that might have years of appeal.

Antilop is still $20 at IKEA. Maybe they only sell 100 chairs a month at this point but that's still money coming in rewarding them for investing in ergonomic chair design. I'd rather see them get rewarded for that than for dishonest advertising campaigns because 50% of their money will come from the first few weeks of sales.
It works both ways.

Find or invent a tiny niche and be among the best in the world in it, and the whole world (including China) will come to you for it.
Careful about the “end of civilization”, global warming is the most important challenge of our generation but media outlet sensationalism exaggerate a lot of things (notably the clathrate gun and other things, which are not widely accepted).

Are concrete crossties pre-stressed? It makes sense now I think about it, but I'm just surprised more effort than "pour concrete into a mold" goes into such an unassuming structural member.
Well, I'm in Alberta, Canada, and I guarantee 95% of voters here would choose increasing oil production vs. any sort of climate action.

We just had a pretty bad recession, our unemployment is still above typical levels, and we just had an unseasonably cold summer after a pretty cold winter.

It's not an issue of being brainwashed, people really do prefer having jobs and homes over climate targets to fix a problem that isn't readily apparent.
Turn off enhanced tracking protection[0]. As outline inherently works by grabbing data off of third-party sites, the new enhanced protection may break it.

Most people in China grew up extremely poor, so this makes sense.
Those were rhetorical questions.

Like you said, through our system of democracy, we _allow_ the markets to exist in a particular form. We _allow_ the government to administer force to protect the peoples' ownership of private property. None of this is a given, and pretending everyone has a moral imperative to participate in the market does not follow.

If people in a region decide, by democratic means, they want to change the way the market functions, there is nothing implying they should 'get out'. It is fully within their rights.

Convolutional neural nets work operate on low level structure and do high-level structure largely by stacking together low-level structural processing.

People freak out way too much over small amounts of chlorine and I don't know why, it's pretty irresponsible that he wasn't wearing a full face gasmask and all that said maybe his face melted off in the shower after he finished the blog post but all in all he seems to know what he's doing.
> What if trans people just don't want to work for Automattic?

That's why they're doing the survey? To find out if that's true, and if so, why it's true?

> Do we need to match the population in the first place?

If trans folks have statistically similar job abilities to non-trans folks, a disparity in hiring may indicate some other discriminatory / disparate factors that can be fixed. They might even be entirely unintentional.

That's why you do the research.
Based on what I read online in discussions and in the news, there's little nuance into the circumstances around the data retrieval:

- Is it related to someone stealing classified information, spying / or spy cell, or could be planning a terrorist attack? In that case, they may be more sophisticated, or the investigation shifts to preventing something from occurring in the future, or its a matter of trying to figure out what a cell of foreigners from Russia/etc. are trying to get.

- Is it something related to a drug investigation? If it's involving drugs, countries everywhere have roving wiretap abilities because druglords use burner phones, and like above, they go to great lengths to hide / mask what they're doing as if it's legitimate business.

- Is it related to any other criminal investigation? Police has more ability to intercept communications than civilians. There is a whole world inside here of nuances. An example in USA is subpoena'ing email records where unopened email is treated as abandoned, they don't require a search warrant. Not that there's many cases prosecuted relying on abandoned email retrieved that'd be thrown out if the law changed :P

- Protect/regulation around data of medical (HIPAA in US, I think GDPR in EU), children (COPPA in US)

- Normal consumer privacy protections (GDPR in EU)

Here's an example of Germany's constitution (Article 10 [Privacy of correspondence, posts and telecommunications]
, https://www.bundesregierung.de/breg-en/chancellor/basic-law-...):

> (1) The privacy of correspondence, posts and telecommunications shall be inviolable.

But, then it says:

> (2) Restrictions may be ordered only pursuant to a law. If the restriction serves to protect the free democratic basic order or the existence or security of the Federation or of a Land, the law may provide that the person affected shall not be informed of the restriction and that recourse to the courts shall be replaced by a review of the case by agencies and auxiliary agencies appointed by the legislature.

The above basically gets you what most countries have anyway, so maybe it wouldn't address the concerns people have. If there was a constitutional check for privacy over the wire/data in the cloud it'd be upheld at the judicial level to check the executive / legislative branch. However, there'd still be mechanisms where the government can access data, one way or another. It'd probably end up having the phraseology around them narrowly tailored, there'd be less swept in when decisions are in a gray area.

I'm surprised that Nintendo has not yet re-released The Legend of Zelda (Zelda 1 from 1986) with updated graphics. It seems as if all the re-releases for the various platforms including Nintendo Switch are just emulators for the NES version.
I meant that all marketers are collecting the data, and in the overwhelming number of cases they're doing so without consent.

I'm yet to see a single marketer only do tracking by opt-in, and I work in the industry.

The problem is that we're:

A) Collecting the data without consent

B) In most cases, unable to not collect the data because ESP's do it by default with no option to switch it off

Or am i missing something further?
