Gasoline just burns. It takes a very specific state to get it to explode.

Not that I'm recommending it, but you could fill a coffee can with gasoline and light it on fire and with only minimum care, be completely safe.

Do the same with an equivalent-energy amount of lithium batteries and you better have a good pair of running shoes.

Go watch some youtube videos of exploding laptops.

The latest big MacBook battery has 100 watt hours of energy fully charged.

A gallon of gasoline has 33,000 watt hours of energy.

So that macbook's battery has 2.3 teaspoons, about 1 centimeter cubed, or 11 mL equivalent energy of gasoline. I have spilled that much gas on my shoe and not given it a second thought. Another way to put it is a laptop battery has about as much energy in it as a shot of vodka.

I'll happily store many bottles of liquor in the cupboard without a thought of the fire risk.

An equivalent battery carelessly stored is scary.
The long term loss for short term gains that we're already dealing with has been the page bloat over the past decade.

AMP is the solution to that long-term loss. It's not the best possible solution, but it's the best that we currently have.

Prior to AMP, the web didn't give a rat's ass about performance.
> No, you can't, because the presence of SecuROM is completely orthogonal to the game features that customers are willing to pay for.

Yes, you can argue for it. That doesn't necessarily mean that the conclusion is right or even that the reasoning is sound. The point of arguing is to find out that it is, if it is. In this case, I was asking the poster I responded to to present his case because I have presented a case for the opposite conclusion, that these are not comparable situations.

> Moreover, mitigations for the scenario you suggest do exist

I think you may be getting my argument mixed up with some other argument, because I did not suggest that scenario, and I clearly argue for why I believe that it's an invalid comparison on the basis that a mitigation isn't even necessary in most cases since most TVs have a composite input and you can still buy new TVs that have composite inputs.
I've been in this position. The feeling of satisfaction wears off in a few minutes. My resume was updated later that week and I was on to the next adventure within two months.

And this was with a DR who stuck up for me and mentioned to the CEO directly that we paid a consultancy big bucks to tell us something a chorus of engineering team members have been saying for years.
Marko, bravo for making that clean and readable site (and having 0 trackers, as reported by Firefox Klar)!

There's one issue I noticed when clicking the links to page sections (#anchors). Those lazy-loaded images make the page scroll away from the section title I jumped to. Is it possible to fix that by having images replaced by placeholders of the same size?
Surely you're joking.

That is utterly dominant. Market-shaping, even.

My pet theory is that the bad actors are bad actors across all forms of transportation. A crappy driver makes a crappy pedestrian/cyclist. I think this is because being a "good" driver/cyclist/pedestrian requires you to anticipate what the other class of traffic wants to do (e.g. read body language to see when a car will choose to pull into traffic or a pedestrian cross the street) and if you can't do that in the car->pedestrian direction you probably can't do it in the other.

Gridlock problems are particular to two party systems. A modern constitution would also include voting methods that don't result in a two party system.

You could also reduce the risk by the constitution itself being exempt from sunsetting and enumerating crucial rights and services therein.

Anyway it's not something that's ever going to be implemented anywhere, so it doesn't really matter if it could work.

That aligns with my theory that since all the easily extracted oil has been exploited, the oil industry is saddled with a price floor, and once alternatives beat that, the oil industry will rapidly collapse as supply is more expensive than alternatives, and oil won't have any way to profitably compete.
I'm saying she puts it in and takes it out as soon as she can. This gives her more disposable income. The only issue I see is the time it takes her to make the first distribution, but then she shouldn't have any issues with lagging income if she budgets it properly.

It's not that out of touch. She doesn't have to work at McDonald's. I know there's opportunities out there that pay better and are in LCOL areas, but they have to be pursued.

I'm sorry, but I can't empathize when I read through an article and the only thing she is doing to better her situation is use the power of government to force someone to pay her more. I gave actionable advice that she herself has the power to act on to improve her situation.

All software is trash.
your tag screen might be displaying what is most popular at the phub.. (not 100% sure) - but there are plenty of non-mainstream terms in there, and many that will make people queezy and click away.. When you get mainstream traffic you would keep more if you moved a bunch of those tag terms off the first view.. no matter how popular [insert-taboo-term-here] is on phub - for your visitors, it may not be helpful in finding a match, and may be something you would not want to admit to a match or a web site..

'getting rejected' - welcome to adult - we've been rejected by mainstream portals and payment processors and more for some time now.. and even those places that welcome you today or once did (cough ehem, tumblr) - don't count on them for the future (ggl censors more and more ) -

I think it's important for adult stuff to make profiles everywhere possible so that people will be able to search for you via other means when you are kicked from place-A - they can know to look for you at place B (twitter)

phub and similar have always been chill about embeddding - it gets them more ads running and data on users.. but their videos get taken down a lot by copyright and other means on a regular basis..

some sites we had vids embedded for a couple years, 80% were replaced with 'this video no longer avail.." screens, which did still play ads for them :))

your ad dollars will probably go further on places like phub and similar (trafficjunky, etc), which I imagine will be much cheaper. Every time we tried G-ads they burned money fast and no one came back that clicked.. ymmv
I'm reading High Output Management by Andy Grove at the moment. Definitely one of the best practical guides on being a leader and a people manager I've ever read.
Maybe not. I’ve heard that the fixed costs of a traditional grid are substantial enough that if large numbers of homeowners moved to PV generation the grid costs could become unsustainable and ultimately unmaintainable/collapse.
Another problem is the fast pace of innovation.

Tesla aside, most electric vehicles will be outdated in 3-5 years (I say that as an e-Golf owner/lessee) because the next generation of vehicles will be much better. I think we're in the iPhone 3G phase and have a couple iterations/generations of fast evolution ahead until the market stabilizes.

Neither do the old-money (or socialized to behave the same) rich. That's the behavior of someone who's worried about being mistaken for poor.
> The difference between ARM and x86 is that there's no standardized ARM interface between the motherboard and the CPU—no ARM equivalent to ACPI. Every integration of an ARM CPU into a board is bespoke. So you have to buy "a board with an ARM CPU on it", not just an ARM CPU and board separately.

Not exactly true. ARM server chips do have ACPI. The trick is buying a CPU that is SBSA[1] and SBBR[2] compliant. Then most things work as expected.

Why do you think that people without skills will have better life in developing countries? The salaries there are even lower, for example, in Russia hourly rate in McDonalds is $2-4 depending on the city. The only kind of housing the employee can afford is a room in a shared apartment or sharing a room with a friend or living with parents for free.
Yes. The key difference is that the person in the passenger seat is there. They can see when you are doing something that requires more attention, and stop talking, and also even help with whatever it is that requires your attention. Conversations between people in the car naturally adapt to conditions. Conversations with someone not there do not.

Economic mobility in the USA should be relatively high if what you are saying is correct - however, it is not. "Work hard" is not a solution to the problems our economic system has created. It is something someone yells before burying their head in the sand.

For those interested in security - AMP basically forces the iframe javascript sandbox security model.

https://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/security/sandboxed-i...

Even reputable web pages tend to have a metric TON of non-sandboxed javascript from third parties. If you care about your security this is a risk.

If you stick with AMP - this is - by spec - prohibited.

Something to think about as you browse the web gobbling down javascript and all the other third party javascript being pumped at you.

One of those rare cases where driving is healthier than walking.
This paragraph speaks to perhaps the most common mistake I see business leaders make, especially at startups:

"Because subordinates learn best by doing, leaders should be willing to take prudent risks and accept the possibility that less-experienced subordinates will make mistakes. Risk assessment and risk management help determine existing risks and mitigation strategies. If subordinate leaders are to grow and develop trust, it is best to let them learn through experience. Effective leaders allow space for subordinates to experiment within the bounds of intent-based orders and plans."
This is good though. The faster the values of EVs decline, while still having hundreds of thousands of miles of service life ahead of them, the faster they're affordable on the used car market (choking out ICE vehicles) to those of less means.

Fair point. We do know that it would take 25 minutes by car, but two full hours by bus.
My commute is about 10 minutes by car. Which works out to 4 miles (3 by bike, because there's a trail). So it's doable – if those same 10 minutes where at highway speeds, it would be less so.

Regardless, it's getting better, but even 3 miles gets me sweaty and I have to take a shower. We can safely assume this person's commute to be longer. Now she has to go to work all sweaty – at a customer facing role. This won't be well-received.

OP gave an implicit justifications, bigger industry can mean that the goal to more efficient produce gets backed by more $€£, and thus gets reached more faster - at least if no monopoly will be created (as then the consumer is screwed 100%).
It was intended to make the GSA self-sustaining in budget terms. Under the old system, the costs of running the GSA came out of the Federal budget. The goal back in the '90s was to reduce expenditures in order to cut down the budget deficit. IFF let them push the cost of running GSA off of the Federal budget, by pushing it onto the budgets of the vendors winning GSA contracts.

>Lifting oneself out of poverty is not easy to do here

My family came from poverty. It's easy to do if you come from a culture which values self improvement. I know it's unpopular to say, but most poor people are poor for reasons related to their genes, personality and upbringing, not because of the system. Just as cream rises, the lower end of the bell curve tends to fall, and no amount of education or financial assistance is going to change the distribution of achievement in society.

That doesn't mean we shouldn't have a safety net to help those who are in need, but our expectations should be grounded when we consider allocation of scarce resources.

Saying lack of time to prepare a healthy meal is a valid reason for poor eating habits is a weak excuse. Pan frying an egg and some veggies (using food item examples above) takes less than 5 minutes.

So take your idea out a few steps. We now have to buy, install and maintain VR setups for all the DMVs all over the country, then we have to train a bunch of DMV employees not only how to use it, but they in turn must teach citizens how to use it. I'd guess there are about 120 million drivers, so that's 120 million VR "experiences," and that's just the stuff off the top of my head. It doesn't sound very practical, and we don't even know it's effectiveness.

I would think we could save a ton of money just buying commercial spots explaining the physics, the statistics and a video of what a wreck looks like in totality.

Maybe even better, give companies tax incentives for domestic remote employment that replaces people coming into the office. That would probably hit the 80/20 rule right there.

I know y’all want to repeat the whole thing about consultants we've all heard before, which sure, is “exactly this”, but the article goes much deeper, and is specific to the government.

Here, consultants are ripping off taxpayers because a Clinton-era rule financially incentivized the government to outsource work to “entrepreneurs”. This department is literally given a percentage of the money it gives to consultants.

Money is one thing, but there's also just plain old information bias. Politics don't go away when the consultants come in. The consultants are going to be working closer with the group that brought them in. It's not uncommon in my experience for the 'other group(s)' to ghost the consultants.

I live inside Seattle with no car. North of the ship canal or south of I90, no problem. But in and around Amazonia, Capitol Hill, or the downtown core? Rideshare cab drivers are the worst. Regular drivers at least usually drive slow enough to see my wide yellow-coated self walking through a crosswalk now that I have a very bright jacket.

Then again, I'm pretty sure rideshare cabbies don't give a shit about traffic laws anyway. They see "bus only" and think "ah, the perfect loading zone" so it's not too surprising that crosswalks are viewed as impediments to their next fare.

There's a difference between stocking your own products alongside the alternatives and marketing your own products to the exclusion of the alternatives.

If you're doing only one or the other, there's no problem. If you're doing both, there's a serious asymmetry and you are taking money from the alternatives' suppliers under false pretenses. The suppliers expect to be on equal footing with its competitors. At this stage, Amazon's products should be considered one supplier out of many and shouldn't be offered special treatment because it belongs to the retailer.

When you walk into your local grocer, they aren't putting all the house brand stuff in the front and hiding the name brand stuff in a stockroom where you need to specifically ask for it.
