Recharging electric cars requires plugging it in and walking away to do something else instead.

Electric car fuelling is a parallel operation, not a serial one.

Rapid charging happens on the longer journeys that require it while you're using the restroom, or grabbing a bite to eat or drink, or simply improving your safety by having a snooze

And if you get an efficient electric car with a high miles/kWh rating - rather than a status symbol electron guzzler - then there is less time required anyway.

There's a mental paradigm shift required when you have an electric car to one where you have a fully fuelled car every morning by default. Once you've made that switch you'll wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
Yes, I believe any diet that "works" is just the diet happening to make it more manageable to reduce calories below expenditure. A similar diet I've read about is one meal a day. The basic idea is that you can eat whatever you want, but only one time per day (within reason). Most people can't eat their total daily calories in one sitting before feeling uncomfortable. Thus, you lose weight.
Out of interest, what do you think the percentage of HackerNews users would have the the finances to buy a private jet?
Yep, all the days I abstain from drinking coffee I am constantly worried about getting piss-tested, finding out I don't have enough caffeine in my system, and being fired on the spot.

Thanks! Good to put things in perspective.

I had little problem recruiting the willpower to fast, but willing myself to a good mood was something I wasn't really able to act on. Something to keep in mind for next time!
There are papers showing negative side effects (bulimia, eating disorders), but a point easily overlooked is that if you are not mentally prepared, it's a though ride.
Wish there were better ways to recycle. I find myself using re-usable glass/plastic containers for storing food instead of single-use ziplock bags. I like to see companies ditching plastic straws, lids, and cups. The other day I was in a tea shop in Columbus OH and the store gave me a plastic cup with a paper straw. It's like they gave effort but didn't really think the whole thing through since they still gave me plastic in the form of a cup..... I suppose its progress... meh.
There is always recourse, it's just my understanding that it's easier with CC companies. And when you get hit with a charge, it's not immediately hitting your bank account. You can get hit with the charge, dispute it and get it reversed without ever having to pay out of your own pocket.
Its not a "get somebody to do something". Getting someone to loose weight is a lot like getting someone to stop doing drugs. If they dont want to do it, you are pretty much screwed unless imprisonment is an option. You yourself stick to your diet or you dont.

I think the question pushs on an underlying issue, namely how many people start up with plateau breakers and torture themselves instead of following a simple diet.

So the question is, what is this intermittent fasting? Is it just a psychological trick to get you to stick to your diet? Is your brain tricked into wanting less food or are you tricking your body into loosing more weight? As far as i understand it, its more then just a mind trick to stick to your diet. That is where the comparison with the - 8,6% reduction would come in great. But i doubt you would get much information with just comparing the absolute losses instead of looking at the individuals and how far they are into weight loss.

Everybody I know (3 - not a significant sample) with an electric car has at some point had to take "the other car" because their electric wasn't changed. Most often it is get home from work at night only to remember some dinner you are supposed to go to that you don't have enough charge remaining to get to. Sometimes it is your forget to plug it in (this probably only happens the first few weeks before you get the habit of plugging it in every night)
Seems similar to Ramadan :-) if following the timetable of Mecca https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan
I'm not aware of any studies but muslims have been doing seasonal intermittent fasting for a long time - Ramadan.
They're really helpful for healing psychological trauma, but not necessary. If you plan to use them for economic domination, you're gonna embarass yourself pretty hard and maybe even die. It's just not what they're for.
It’s true, cars are big and require a ton of energy. That’s not a huge problem though, because with the correct land use policies you can pretty much replace them with bikes.
Right, but my experience is that Java (and a few others) have succeeded in this space. I actually wish that I could use maven to install system software rather than having to rely on something like apt.
Indeed. Most EV owners eventually realize that having to hunt for a gas station at the end of a tank an onerous requirement of ICE car ownership. They rarely charge outside their own garage.
A note: the computer glasses you may see advertised that are clear (or at most have a mild yellow tint to them) do almost nothing to help with melatonin suppression. Light-based melatonin suppression is largely mediated by light receptors on the retina called ipRGCs. They are the third class of photoreceptors, along with rods and cones. They respond in the very approximate range of 380nm (violet) to 600nm (yellow), though suppression is diminished as one strays further from the peak of ~475nm, tapering off to zero around the limits I have given. [1] So if you want lenses that actually work, expect very heavy color distortion.

This also applies to the fancier lenses on prescription glasses. If you are optically challenged like myself, and have bought glasses recently, you've probably been upsold to lenses that block short wavelength blue & near UV light. For example, Zenni's branding is BlokZ, which are apparently designed to to prevent "FryEye". There may be some benefit to blocking short wavelength blue (and there is obviously benefit to blocking UV), they will not help with sleep.

For the purpose of my sleep cycle, I prefer to use software filters (f.lux, etc.) rather than colored lenses. As long as the blue (and green, to a lesser extent) subpixels on my display aren't lit, it's just as effective. In fact it's a bit nicer, as it's possible to "redscale" the image based on luminosity rather than just not seeing blue any more. (I am not sure if f.lux is capable of this, as I do not use it.) To limit the effect of environmental lights, I use very warm LEDs in the evening and dim them down low as the night goes on. I'm tempted to mix in some red and orange ones right near bedtime to get an almost firelight effect.

Unrelated, but for general eye strain at the end of the day: get some reading glasses, even if you don't actually need them to read. They'll let your ciliary muscle relax by making your screen seem to be at optical infinity. If you already have glasses, just take your prescription and throw +2 or so SPH on there. (Or, if you don't mind being a bit of an annoyance, pop to the drug store and try on some pairs on your regular glasses until you find the right diopter. Or, even better, calculate it using the thin lens approximation.) You may want to add a prism if you're prone to being cross-eyed.

It also depends on what type of fasting you're talking about; Here's a video about "alternate day fasting" that shows it can mostly be good, unless you already have high cholesterol or are diabetic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKFWvYtm6Ck

(check out the recent videos on that channel as well - he's just done several videos covering scientific studies about all types of fasting!)
Why White Island erupted, and why there was no warning
I subscribe to the calories-in-calories-out model, but keep in mind that it's more complicated than that.

Eating, say, 2500 calories in 5 meals, has a different impact than eating the same amount in 2 meals.

I personally tend to accumulate weight very easily if on a day I have very few high-calorie meals.
WireGuard is actually pretty awful from an IT security org perspective. There are no logs when someone connects or is trying to connect, so auditing or troubleshooting becomes extremely difficult short of packet captures. Additionally, there is no concept of two step auth, so if your key is compromised, anyone can connect without anyone knowing about the compromise.

If security companies adopt WireGuard, expect things like PulseSecure to remain as a wrapper around WireGuard. They'll at least standardize on a performant and verifiable VPN solution.
>But this article tries to seem "more than fair" without stopping to mention the one great advantage of charging - that some can do so at home, every night. So that should greatly reduce the infrastructure needs.

I think some is the operative word here. Looking at the EU: 41.9% of people live in apartments.[0] In some of those countries it's over 60% even. I don't think even all houses are appropriate to charge your EV.

I didn't think this was as much of a problem until this article. I never considered the jerry can point. This does make me wonder if hybrids just make more sense after all.

I know you can see the Leonids in San Francisco, at least if you're not standing directly under a streetlight. Some years are brighter than others. A lot of it is making note of when to go outside and look.
I don't think it's fair to say "better" here. Waiting for stable software releases is a perfectly valid approach. It may not be your approach, which is also fine, but neither approach is better than the other.
Yeah, coffee black and tea is okay (without sugar and milk). But most people I know drink their coffee with milk :)
If we weighed the known effects of being overweight against the possible harmful effects of intermittent fasting, in all likelihood there's no debate at all.
Agreed, up to a point:

Ever tried to security-update a vendor-provided container which you should never touch because of the vendor's support and warranty conditions? And even if allowed to touch it, the mess that it usually is: app running as root in the container, stuff chmodded a+rwx -R, weird base distro, build script is just a wget, cp -R or "this binary magically appears from somewhere". With a helping of " only works if the directory structure and environment look like the devs machine".

Containers are the ultimate expression of "it compiles, let's ship it" laziness
In most cases, recharging is much cheaper and more convenient than battery swapping ever could be.

Batteries are big, heavy, and expensive. Significant infrastructure would be required to handle and recharge them at swapping stations. Standard sizes/formats for batteries would need to be established, restricting the design and innovation of vehicles that use them.

While I'm sure someone facing a 30+ minute wait in line for a charger would be happy to pay $50 for a 10-minute battery swap instead, this situation only happens once or twice a year at times of exceptional demand (like Thanksgiving). The rest of the time, those swap stations would just sit unused, losing money.
you can chain them and avoid the nesting. Anything a .then handler returns becomes the value of the next one like this:

fetch(url)
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((json) => {
// do stuff
})

Promises will wait until resolved, normal values will call the next handler "right away" (there's some nuance here and some edge cases about what "right away" means, but for the most part you never need to think about that)

And if you want to do more things and handle errors, it becomes pretty simple as well:

fetch(url)
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((json) => {
if (!json.user.id) {
throw new Error('user id not found')
} else {
return db.sql('SELECT * from users where id = $1', [json.user.id])
}
}).then((user) => {
return response.send(user)
}).catch((err) => {
// any error thrown at any point during the chain will trigger this catch
return response.error(err)
})

I still completely agree that async/await is still better in this case, but then throw some more wrenches into the situation like wanting to handle multiple promises at a time and you start to see where using "raw promises" really comes in handy. Like this:

try {
const res = await fetch(url)
const json = await res.json()

if (!json.user.id) {
throw new Error('user id not found')
}

const [ userObj, userAuthLevel, someOtherStuff] = await Promise.all([
db.sql('SELECT * from users where id = $1', [json.user.id]),
db.sql('SELECT * from otherStuff where userId = $1', [json.user.id]),
fetch('https://other.stuff/and/things')
])

return response.send({
userObj,
userAuthLevel,
someOtherStuff
})
} catch (err) {
return response.error(err)
}

or say there's an expensive call that you can start BEFORE the first fetch, but still need to wait on later (ignoring most other stuff for simplicity):

// notice there's no await...
// we can kick off the request now, but not wait for the result until later
const someOtherStuffPromise = fetch('https://other.stuff/and/things')

const res = await fetch(url)
const json = await res.json()

// do other things here

// finally wait for the promise to resolve here.
const someOtherStuff = await someOtherStuffPromise
I can see that being the case, being intoxicated (no matter by what) for an extended period of time is going to shape the way you see the world (like any other experience in life).

Anyway for me personally the one time I tried acid it was more like: hey cool experience, it feels like I am experiencing things for the first time, kind of like a child. While the trip itself did not really change me a whole lot it made me reexamine things in my life and consider how I approach things and made me more aware of how my emotions and my brain in general can have an effect on my perspective. In that it was a teachable experience and any change in my personality after that experience was due to me having experienced the world in a different way even though it only was once.

I am not planning on taking it again anytime soon though. I can also see how it might affect others differntly, anyway they are mind altering (even if temporary and the changes can be permanent, like a holiday or a car crash and with my limited experience I can not speak to how it could exactly go wrong but I suggest anyone in here respects their mental health and reads up on all this before considering to try it)
I assume it's the brightest one, yeah.
I’m not sure you actually save as much time as you might think if you are flying yourself when you factor in flight planning, pre-flight inspections, etc.

Definitely airport pairs where this could be a huge time savings though.
The batteries are huge. The Tesla Model S's 85 kWh battery pack weighs 1200 lbs.
> jealous, insisting that every language has to conform to their way of doing things

Let's ignore for a moment all your baseless assertions and focus on the following question: how do you ensure that a build is reproducible if you have no control on which required dependencies are downloaded by a build system which requires root access?

Is jealousy the only explanation that comes up to you?
I've never heard someone persuasively and eloquently express to me, in a non-dopey way, just how (small amounts of) acid can act as cognitive enchantment. Anyone care to take a stab at it?

For instance, is the effect only temporary, in the sense that it unlocks some region of not normally traversed mental state space? (E.g. allowing you to write paragraphs you wouldn't otherwise be able to.) Or is the effect more permanent, in the sense of teaching you something, providing you with a new muscle which can be used later even in a sober state of mind (teaching you to ride a type of brain bike, which then can't be unlearned), or by showing you connections between disparate ideas you hadn't previously had the ability to see next to each other?
This question already quite complicated. Under your definition, is a territory lost if it's still above sea level, but is not arable anymore e.g. because of desertification? What if it's still arable, but the region's traditional crops produce less yield because of a temperature rise?
This 100x over. I had a very eye-opening experience as an american living in Mexico for 2 years, while trying to recycle as much as possible. I learned a lot and continue to think about recycling in this context, since it applies globally. Once you're out from under the umbrella of "The Great Recycling Con":

- Recycling companies in Mexico will not accept any material that they can't make a profit on. Only a few numbers of plastic are recyclable/profitable.

- Recycling companies in Mexico enforce sorting and cleanliness before receiving any material. I clean everything, even run it in the dishwasher if there's space. Pizza cardboard is straight out.

- Glass is the hardest the recycle. There's a global glut of used glass. This goes against the normal idea that it's the easiest to recycle because it can be simply melted down. On the other hand, some beverage companies wash and reuse returned bottles. Those are the only bottled beverages I buy now. Buy a case, pay a small deposit, then continuously swap it for full bottles.

- Aluminum is the easiest to recycle and the most profitable. I've switched to buying as much as possible in cans. Especially switching from drinking beer out of bottles because it "tastes better" to buying it in cans and pouring it in a glass.

- Clean cardboard (and paper to a lesser extent) is fairly easy to recycle.

- Companies pay you a small amount for material. It's not a lot but it covers the cost of dropping it off.

These basic economic rules apply in the United States too but it's masked by the con described in this op-ed, temporary recycling subsidies and "wish-cycling" [0]

Fire hydrants here in the UK are almost always under the road surface - that would actually probably be the logical place to install electrical charging outlets.
You're saying this based on what exactly? I've heard that coffee/caffeine is most effective at boosting sharpness when your stomach is not empty. (I'm under the impression now that there is more than one reason why coffee after a meal is the recommended way to take it, and not understanding how whether you take it with milk plays into it... could you elaborate?)
Several of the papers listed there are known (by me anyway) to be complete bullshit. This seems to be "here are search results on google scholar."

I actually don't know anyone using deep learning the hedge fund business, other than for screwing around. It's a terrible tool for that sort of thing. And as someone pointed out below; predicting the future is only a small part of what a trading strategy is (for some trading strategies, forecasting is actually the null set).
which is not true for every country
It's a shame. I guess the lawyers got involved.

Maybe the only good thing to come from this is that it reminds us to think twice before entrusting all our data to cloud based software companies.

And if you do put your app/data in the 'cloud' make sure you have offline backups.

Cloud platforms are like share cropping (farming on rented land).
Are you accounting for the time lost spent piloting the plane?
It must depend. If you live close to the airport where your jet is, and you can fly above the corridors (13000 feet?), it must work. I worked at a "startup-ish" company which got their own jet, they sometimes took staff for a quick weekend trip to somewhere in the sun.
It's a short term problem. Self-driving cars will drive themselves to a charger.
What I see happening here (Switzerland) is that pilots, who have issues reaching their mandatory minimum flying hours, are flexible and willing to take on passengers for cost price.

That's not really Uber for planes, but it gets you places in a way that is often much more expensive otherwise.
I think the concern is more about night time binging (i.e., people who eat a late dinner are also more likely to stay up long enough to eat a midnight snack).
> A lot of them involve messy build steps, including downloading binaries or source tarballs without verification

Do they though?

Whenever I write Dockerfiles that depend on external downloads, I always check the hash matches one baked into the Dockerfile itself, and I've always seen others doing the same.
People have been going on intermittent fasting schedules for centuries.

Ramadan being a good example.

This is also by no means the first study into intermittent fasting.

While we certainly don't know every detail about what the optimal pattern is, the idea that you might "ruin your body" by limiting your eating to a 10 your window seems far fetched.
Recharging doesn't require any patience at all if done correctly (ie. overnight at home, or while you're stopping for a meal). Complaining that you can't run your EV to empty then drop in to a gas station for 10 minutes to refill it is like saying cars are useless because they can't eat the grass on the side of the road.

This isn't an article, it's a hit piece.
I just want to emphasize that getting instrument-rated is not a trivial endeavor and it's not likely something to be achieved by someone whose interest is entirely in getting to their meetings more efficiently. And without the instrument rating, your travel plans will be instantly foiled the moment there's bad weather. If you have a passion for aviation and flight, an instrument rating is certainly within reach. But otherwise getting it will feel like quite a slog.

An an aside, if you're an executive, flying private with your team (all as passengers) makes it easy to continue to work on the flight and prepare for the upcoming meeting. If you're busy piloting the plane, it becomes much harder if not impossible to be a part of that.
At that point you're basically doing it for your own pleasure.

If doing acid helped me enjoy doing an electronics project of my own, sure I might consider giving it a shot.

But the general concept of being persuaded to do actual LSD in order to get ahead in a job is completely fucked.

> if your diet is crap, your exercise is nonexistent, you get no sleep, no nootropic concoction is going to make up for that.

Are you saying this as a statement of fact or more like an advice?

Because, as a statement of fact, it is very probably false. Anti-ADHD medication will make up (and then some) for crappy diet, no exercise and bad sleep (this one probably only to a certain extent).
I have been intrigued with IF for a few years now. While i think in theory I think it sounds great I also find it difficult to believe that you can strictly stick to a 9-9 diet every day. While on my own I can stick to such, but I will often be asked out to eat later in the evening or for drinks on the weekend which takes place outside of my fasting times. Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
possible but expensive. you'd need something like robotic arms swapping the battery to do it quickly. would also require the vehicles to have their batteries at the exact same spot, in the same format and precludes using the frame of the car as a battery.
Because at least with make install you can have some trust in the delivery method, ie encrypted git or whatever. If you use just plain http....
Above ground electricity poles and wires are still ugly. In my opinion areas where the infrastructure is all buried are much more aesthetically pleasing and calming. It’s also safer. No risk of electrocution by downed lines or starting fires in windstorms.
