I found that I could orient myself “by ear” indoors - usually by snapping fingers (tongue clicks are tiring) or by passively listening for existing sounds - a washing machine, TV, open windows - that gave me a way to figure out where doorways were.

Tor is funded by the us government. Why is very unclear. They may have backdoored it. They may be using it for surveillance. They are probably not using it to disseminate propaganda (they can do that over traditional channels). However, the likeliest reason (imo) for funding tor is simply that they need it themselves. There's a famous--and possibly apocryphal--anecdote from a security researcher who met an FBI agent at defcon. The security researcher brought up tor, and the FBI agent said 'oh, yeah, we have our own anonymity network like that--except it's just for the FBI'. The security researcher was unable to explain to the FBI agent why that made no sense.

Pronouns are different from names because there is a very strong correlation between pronouns and certain physical aspects of people.[0] What is being asked of people in the gendering debate is to go against this correlation sometimes. Our minds are built on pattern matching and working with such correlations, so it really shouldn't be a surprise that asking people to go against it is going to tick some of them off: you're asking them to enter into a state of cognitive dissonance, which can be unpleasant.

Names, on the other hand, are really quite arbitrary and independent of physical attributes. So yes, there's an important difference.

[0] I believe these kinds of correlation are what people intuitively mean when they talk of biological gender and the like, which make most of the responses against this argument miss the point...

The one thing I really can not get over with Tesla is the dashboard. That giant screen that looks so misplaced.

Cars always used to be the pinnacle of thought out design. And Tesla is supposed to be catering the more stylish crowd I think.

I wonder how they decided to place a standard screen to the right of the driver.

It will be interesting to see if other car manufacturers will adopt this design decision. Then it would be a bit like in the smartphone world, where ugly camera bumps on the back are the norm now.

There are almost no physical products that you can not get in a nice design these days. Everything seems to exist in perfectly designed versions. Headphones, tables, knifes, socks, glasses, lamps, bed sheets ... It's fascinating that phones are the one type of product that fell off a cliff. Will cars be next?

What's truly astonishing to a dyed in the wood red leftist like myself is how totalitarian an unreflecting the 'left' side of the debate is. Deplatforming fascists didn't work in Weimar and it has never worked. All it does is give fascists talking points about how oppressed they are and an excuse for violence, which they do a lot better than the leftist groups who in the US are even against something as basic as arming themselves.

California, New Jersey well represented on list of ‘miserable’ US cities
I suspect 20% drop in China's working age population might not actually hurt as much as the author tries to imply. The sheer size of the population and the amount of population within cities and outside cities should play a role here. A 20% drop could actually have the opposite pressure, create some efficiency and dramatically push up the quality of life and create a better functioning economy, and overall economy could actually go up and/or become much more stable.

Banning cars, congestion pricing, Uber and taxi surchages, taxing parking spots and rental cars ... under the current NYC political consensus, personal motor vehicles are in the cross-hairs.

I actually would support this if it was part of an honest effort to improve transportation and livability in the city, but most of these proposals make it harder to live here, not easier. I suspect the real motivation is a mix of environmentalism (cars contribute to global warming) and classicism (only the rich drive cars in NYC).

NYC politicians should be focused on how to move the most amount of people, the safest and quickest way, for the cheapest cost. If they want to ban cars due to effects on the environment, they should say that maybe promote electric vehicles. If they want to tax the rich, they can simply impose a more progressive income tax structure.

The current muddled response is actually making transportation in the city more expensive, often causes more emissions due to longer rides, and has an insignificant effect on the rich while hitting the pocket-books of everyone else much harder.
Pedestrian zones in German cities habe exceptions for transportation to or from locations inside them. Otherwise, stores in these areas couldn't get their wares etc. This just prevents regular car traffic and creates a safe space for walking. I don't know if the concept can scale tonan area the size of Manhattan. Just the necessary level of traffic would probably add up to to a lot of vehicles entering and leaving.

I would assume that the solution would be to ban traffic on most steets, but leave a coarse grid of open roads for passing traffic. This should still cut down on commuter car traffic on these.

Not sure why you think this.

It is free while we are in beta. Because I hope that is going to result in more feedback. Also I don't feel comfortable charging for something that isn't quite production quality yet. But the plan is to charge an annual sub after it comes out of beta (price undecided).

I am not sure why this comment was marked dead without any responses, and hence I am "vouch"-ing for it. Can someone point to laws related to license plate tracking?

It seems to me that having a huge database of known locations of vehicles could be used to do some cool (but likely immoral) things, specially coupled with the fact that several state agencies all over the world make it free and easy to retrieve licensing and ownership information for vehicles. It'd also be relatively much easier to do compared to facial recognition.

If a topic is voted up, then pretty much by definition, people here find it interesting. I did. Anyone interesting in how our nascent efforts to combact climate change are progressing around the world should be interested in how quickly electric cars are being adopted.

> Like the speed of light, Planck's constant has units which is problematic (how can you define the meter in terms of the speed of light if the speed of light depends on the definition of the meter?)

I don't follow your thought process here. The speed of light has units, that's true. Being a speed, it has units of distance over time. But the question "how can you define the meter in terms of the speed of light if the speed of light depends on the definition of the meter?" is totally incoherent; the premise is wrong. The speed of light does not depend on the definition of the meter, making it very easy to define the meter in terms of the speed of light.

To take a trivial example, the speed of light is 300,000,000 meters per second and 300,000 kilometers per second. If we relabeled kilometers "flags", then the speed of light would also be 300,000 flags per second. But while 300,000,000 and 300,000 are different numbers, 300,000,000 meters and 300,000 flags are the same distance. You can't change the speed of light by defining a new unit of length. You can only change the coefficient of that unit that gives the speed of light. But coefficients are dimensionless and therefore aren't speeds. When you multiply the coefficient by the unit, you get the same constant speed as always.

I can't tell why you think it's "problematic" for a physical constant to have units, but I feel safe in saying that whatever you have in mind, it's wrong.
There is one, but they have nothing to do with this.

This falls pretty much on Google and people in charge of the backports
Hmm, how does this work? I imagine the government isn't in the business of operating charging stations, so it is some combination of subsidies and regulatory easing, or something more? Do they benefit Tesla Superchargers or have other EV charging standards capitalized on it as well?

Tesla also has a final assembly plant in the Netherlands[1], nominally making the brand "native" (like Volvo before them). That usually results in better brand recognition and higher sales as well.

I recently saw a post on social media where someone couldn't go to the dentist because the car was updating software.

From the discussion I understand there is a "grace period" of 2 weeks before automatic updates, and that the software is needed for advanced features.

It was also mentioned that basic braking and steering functionality were also dependent on updatable software, making it unsafe to use it as a regular car when a software update is occurring.

Does anyone have more information on this?

"They eventually have enough, and coalesce as a group to become powerful enough to force change, typically with taxes, minimum wages, and labor unions."

Typically? You wish!

Look at what happened in many states of Latin America. They have huge inequality problem. And they are not closer to solving it than they were half a century ago.

What IMHO usually happens is the rise of authoritarian populism. Until the inequality is addressed, it might then oscillate between fascism (like Pinochet) and populist-socialism (like Chavez).

P.S. I like the blog post overall, except it completely ignores the ecological crisis and global warming.

Electric vehicules are usually better than thermal ones, but they're still a big carbon emitter. Except if they're shared.
No individual vehicule heavier than 50kg can be considered good in terms of climate impact.
I live in an apartment complex in Berlin. We have a parking garage that belongs to the complex. Unfortunately the housing company does not allow installation of a wallbox in the garage, even if I paid for it myself. The housing company is owned by the municipality.

Cool chart but... why are the countries not labelled?
This sounds a lot like a Theranos idea, here is why.

There are physical constraints concerning continuous glucose monitoring, you cannot simply replace the capillary blood with something drawn from skin tissues depth. It significantly lags the real blood glucose level and the water content screws up the measurement. Even the continuous glucose monitors that are implanted under the skin and that are significantly larger than anything a watch would do have issues with precision and lag compared to the blood prick method. It is worth it because of the better control loop, but its not a simple topic.
It may have fallen off of your cliff, but not mine and apparently not a lot of other people's.

I will be the first (or I guess second) to admit that some controls should be hard buttons for ease of use while looking at the road. This is something that I hope they improve on, though the steering wheel scroll wheels are already often geared for the appropriate context-dependent function.

However, Tesla manages to hide nearly all of the other car's functions behind fewer layers of menus than in modern BMWs or similar, in my experience, making it far easier to access the more arcane items. For example, adjusting the auto high-beam sensitivity or detailed HVAC preferences seem a lot easier on a touchscreen where buttons are laid out logically enough.

Maybe US now will need a wall also in the North, who knows?. Other probably scenery is that a lot of US citizens start self-restricting themselves to consume only US products that is a perfectly respectable option also (but would increase pressure against US nature).
> Manhattan also has a lot of fairly wealthy people driving, or even being chauffeured, on routes that have perfectly usable transit that they'd just rather not use.

The classicist subtext you allude to above has no place in NYC transportation policy, and will likely make inequality worse. If you want to make the rich pay their fair share, then raise income or wealth taxes. A multi-millionaire won't be fazed by a $10 congestion surcharge, they'll keep driving their Hummer directly through midtown. But the commuters from Queens or Staten Island, the senior citizens that can't easily walk down subway steps, the families car-pooling their children to different activities, and the countless businesses that need to lug equipment and supplies around the city will feel the pain.

Perversely, congestion pricing will probably benefit the rich. It will clear the streets of folks that can no longer afford to drive, making their Hummer joy ride through mid-town much more pleasurable.
The LHC, has 13 TeV total collision energy, this intends to go to 100TeV in about 20 years. Is that sufficient to find new science? Should they be aiming for a much higher energy? Less than 10 times increase doesn't seem much, for a multi billion dollar project.
You could surely express the golden rule as “A won’t tell B what to identify as and B won’t tell A what words they can and can’t use”. But this requires both A and B to participate.

There is another group C, overlapping with B, people scrutinising your every word waiting for something, anything they can use, out of context, to get you fired. That’s problematic.
