Cultural differences in traffic management. In the US, bicycle infrastructure is sparse outside of dense urban cores (and even then, it can be spotty). That leaves many cyclists sharing roads with higher speed auto traffic.

Also, the style of bicycle is often different. Hybrid and town bikes are far less common the US than Europe. I suspect that an easy-step over, big tire, upright town bicycle is easier (and this safer) to use.
There is still one open in Sunnyvale a few miles away from Santa Clara Mercado, but I’m not sure how much longer it’ll be around.
> The important thing to understand a lot of problems girls and women face are because they are victims of the abuse of mainly males. That is why they need help and resources. It seems from these statistics that men aren’t only hurting women, they are hurting themselves. There are already medical resources in place to help boys and men with diseases and suicide. More resources are needed for homeless men and to rehabilitate criminals.

> And it may seem like favoritism, however, I truly believe women need safe spaces and environments to learn and grow away from men. Boys and Men are being truly disrespectful towards women in male dominated spaces.

Saw this in the comments section and I thought it was an interesting take. She says "I truly believe women need safe spaces and environments to learn and grow away from men."

The paradox is MEN need that also, because it turns out you are way more likely to get bullied from other men if you are a man. Women tend to have higher anxiety levels so they feel it more, but objectively it is way worse for men.

As a small nerd in middle and high school I was physically attacked many times on campus. I received death threats and was put on lists of people to attack. I was never in an environment that was safe.
I read it differently--this is not targeted at founders trying to validate a business plan, it is targeted at engineers whose job it is to build the product, and he's saying to quit fiddling around with your tools and focus on building the product--which is more fun anyway.

"It's important to learn how to use your tools well, but once you have, stop prioritising that. They're good enough now, you know how to use them. Don't get trapped in this local maximum of optimisation. Go and build stuff."

That stuff happens. It happens with other cars too. A few problems here and there, mediocre service and still being (subjectively) the best car in the world are not mutually exclusive.

I had to take mine in for service twice - once for a flat tire near a service center and the other time for a cracked windshield - and it was a mixed bag. The tire replacement experience was horrendous. The windshield replacement was easy.

Their customer service isn’t great. The people I’ve interacted with are very friendly, but they never seem very knowledgeable and they all seem new. If you ever have to call, you end up being sent in circles.

But then there are all the other things that make the whole experience unlike any other car. I could go on all day.

I’ve driven an EV before my Tesla and I went back to a gas car after less than 2 years. There is no other car in the world at any price point that I would rather drive than a Tesla. It’s hard to understand until you’ve had some experience driving one. There are so many little details than add up to a driving experience that is significantly less effort than in any other car.
A hard problem: Disclosing how to break public key cryptosystems [pdf]
The podcast Arm And A Leg recently had an episode [0] which explains this practice of receiving surprise bills from unknown providers. The short version is that hospitals use staffing companies who do their own billing (I think they mention that the pitch to the hospital is that their lives are made easier by not having to manage the extra billing). These staffing companies are frequently owned by private equity firms so they have an incentive to try to bill outside of the system to extract more profit.

The whole podcast is worth listening to, not just this one episode, especially if you are frequently involved in the medical system.

Not every problem can be solved manually. There are many businesses where the technology itself is the valuable thing, not just glue between humans doing all the work. "Don't write code" is smart when the code could be replaced by a person and a spreadsheet but that is not always the case.

Examples include circuit board layout programs, finite element modeling, any engineered hardware product, entertainment (like computer games), or anything other than pure business, really.
From the Exhaustiveness and Usefulness section:

Relying on the filesystem has its own drawbacks. If you scale horizontally, the local filesystem might not have the file you created because it's running on a different server. Mounting storage across multiple servers will introduce bottlenecks, and now you have to worry about the storage going down. If you're running within a Docker container, you need to make sure the file doesn't live inside the container or it won't be persisted.

For the Model S/X (and I believe the 3 as well) the roller knob on the left of the steering wheel is tactical volume control, and the one on the right is configurable with tactical buttons to control cabin temperature, screen brightness, fan speed, and a few other things too. Highbeams are controlled by a stalk to the left of the wheel, and I've very rarely needed to set the main headlights to anything other than "auto".

I think if you wanted to own a Tesla and never use the touchscreen while driving, it would be entirely possible although you wouldn't get access to some infotainment features that many other cars don't have anyway. With voice commands, though, a lot of those would work anyway.
Remote work will continue to rise in popularity. Many large companies already have policies of every meeting having a video conference link. And there's pressure for people to move out of high cost of living areas like San Francisco and New York City.

Online degrees will explode in popularity much like cord cutting did in the past decade. With Georgia Tech's OMSCS becoming a huge success, many other institutions will create similar programs beginning with STEM degrees, expanding into more graduate programs and even undergrad. As an alternative to ultra-high tuition costs, more and more students will choose this route instead of traditional college. As a result, kids will stay at home with their parents increasingly longer.

The United States and China will relax their tourist visa policies, and will allow for up to 90 day stays without a visa.

Well, "trouble" is the wrong word. Fry's is more like "dead man walking".

The last time I went to Fry's was maybe 1 year ago. If you walk around, all of the electronics are older models, the game shelves are filled with games that are all several years old, even things like hard drives, etc are all old and expensive.

There were no salespeople to help except in places like the TV area. The car stereo area, which is what I was interested in, was empty and no one showed up. The car stereos themselves were older models. Nothing worked.

Why on earth would I ever return? The entire shopping experience at Fry's is worse than clicking through on Amazon.

Fry's is dead. Chalk one up for Amazon and automation a-la Andrew Yang. 30% of retail stores will close in 5-10 years and it's because of online stores like Amazon, that suck money out of local stores and diverts all the money to Seattle, except for the local warehouses where minimum wage workers are being worked like robots. This only gets worse unless we figure out how to rejig the economy with 21st century solutions like UBI.
I don't know anything about chainsaws, but the parent mentioned being able to remove the chainsaw's battery pack. With enough batteries, and maybe concurrent charging, any length of cutting sessions should be possible.
My grocery store sells milk from a local dairy in glass bottles with a bottle return program ($1-2 deposit on the bottles depending on size). The only waste is the plastic cap on top. Returning the bottles is a mild inconvenience.

Obviously (and unfortunately) this is not available everywhere.
I agree that the overhead burden is insanely expensive. There's also the cruel, soul destroying experiences on both sides to account for. The staff, paranoid, treating everyone as a leech until proven not. The downtrodden, forced to prove their innocence while drowning in the bad hand life dealt them.

Another effect to consider is where do all the staff go to get new jobs? Many will find the private sector exceptionally difficult to integrate into after decades in public benefits work.
According to Climate Action Tracker, https://climateactiontracker.org/countries/china/current-pol...

> This means that according to our assessment, China will meet its 2020 pledge and its NDC targets, but still be above current emissions levels. China’s chief climate negotiator, Xie Zhenhua, has expressed the opinion that China could meet its 2030 peaking targets early, reflecting the conclusions of other studies (Green and Stern, 2017; Xu, Stanway and Daly, 2018; Gallagher et al., 2019b; Wang et al., 2019). CAT analysis confirms that, based on current GDP projections, China is indeed likely to meet the carbon intensity target of its 2030 pledge early.

So the TL;DR is China is likely to meet its pledges but the pledges themselves are pretty weak — rated “highly insufficient” and only consistent with a 4 degrees warming limit.

That’s inconsistent with your “say yes to everything but ... just lie” assessment. It appears they don’t say yes to everything (hence the weak pledge) but will hit the promised target.

Your links don’t support your point either. The first link doesn’t pinpoint the cause (could be a lapse in enforcement) and the second link is about a revision in official figures; Guardian’s reporting is based on a NYT article with a more neutral tone, but even the Guardian article with its loaded title (surprise surprise) didn’t call it lying.

No. Sorry. The minor 0.5C warming we've seen pales in comparison to the changes in temperature on even a daily basis not to mention changes in temperature throughout the atmosphere. Rain still very much occurs in the tropics. So much in fact that rainforests form there.

Rain patterns are controlled by ocean and atmospheric currents.
I used to live about 1 mile from my middle and high schools. There was a bus that most kids in my subdivision used, and I used it for a while, but eventually I realized that it took about as long to ride the bus to school as it did to just walk (I think I was actually slightly faster walking), and after getting tired of the nasty kids on the bus I just walked every day. Sometimes people driving in the morning felt sorry for me and gave me a ride.

However, one thing I do remember was that there were absolutely no sidewalks, so for a lot of people it probably didn't seem walkable.

Downvotes always feel pretty harsh, but it helped me a lot to realize that downvotes are usually impersonal. Think about downvotes as symmetric with upvotes; upvotes don’t need justification, and they are given for a wide variety of reasons. Same with downvotes.

In any case, I find it best to start by assuming not that people are getting rubbed the wrong way, but that I actually wrote something incorrect and didn’t know it. The primary reason downvotes are given is for information that is either incorrect or irrelevant to the thread. Without passing judgement or being upset, it is safe to say your top comment is incorrect about this article, and thus irrelevant here.

Also, note the guidelines ask to not complain about downvotes, which is why the immediate comment above is getting them. See “In comments” https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

I realize that justifying downvotes or continuing to talk on a thread that’s gone south doesn’t necessarily make you feel any better, but I honestly hope that helps. These things have helped me in the past.
I'm playing with the idea of buying an electric car as my next car. Due to that I'm following quite bit what's happening, sites like Electrek and Teslarati, and a Finnish youtuber called "Tesla Joni" who make sort of "every day" videos about living with Tesla Model 3.

So yeah, there starts to be competition. VAG is bringing ID.3, Polestar will start selling their 2, Ford is bringing the so-called Mustang and even BMW will have EVs that look more or less normal cars. Still all of those are not as interesting as Tesla. I now drive a SEAT Leon which I bought as new 3 years ago. It has been in normal service twice and zero updates to software. Nothing to infotainment, nothing to engine, nothing to electronics. And when buying the car I didn't even think things like that. But now when following what Tesla does, it's a completely different way of owning a car. Like xvector wrote here already getting a new software upgrade is super nice for the car owner. The same is visible in fore mentioned Tesla Joni's videos. Now when thinking about the "real" car manufacturers like VAG, BMW, Mercedes and Polestar, I'm pretty sure they will sell you the car and that's it. I'm especially concerned with Polestar as the software is coming from Google - 5 years and it will be listed in killedbygoogle.com.

And that's why the Apple analogy is so fitting. No matter what you think about iPhone, iPad or Macs, they are being supported much longer than any other manufacturer does. My 2013 iPad Air is still getting regular OTA updates, even though it will not get the new iPadOS.
I think this is another example of what I was trying to say.

The wipers are automatic and initially (like 18 months ago) they weren't good. But instead of asking "why couldn't they put simple tactile wiper controls" a much better question was "Why can't they train a neural net and make the car smarter so the wipers work better than manual controls?"

And the answer was, yeah they could. And they did and today the wipers are quite good.
What's interesting, especially with the Pixels, is that Google used to lead with the Nexus phones, which were notable in part because they were excellent phones at a very good price. My guess would be that the difference is that at some point Google decided that instead of making good developer phones (I don't think they ever really viewed the Nexus line as targeting the general public), they wanted to make their own premium consumer line.
Yes, litter is a problem. But in the same article, note the impact for HDPE with a biodegradable additive for a marginal cost. Just saying there are many options, that's all.

Yes, I picked cotton because it's considered the luxury choice (given the context) and usually the one sold as the most environmentally friendly. Ie non bleached, organic, sustainably sourced etc that you don't usually see with plastic alternatives. (I did mean to make a point, but not mislead.)

Which is kinda my point... Plastics can fill a proper need and still be the most "green" choice. Same with paper or any "disposable".

But back to HDPE... Most people even reuse these at least once at home. And ignoring that, the nearest competitor is still twice the impact.

I'm not saying alternatives are bad, just that people need to be open to the fact that sometimes the unexpected alternative can be best.

And conversely, the "green" luxury alternative might actually be worst.

Very thought provoking, and I agree to the idea that we have become overly partisan in nearly every aspect of our lives, even to the extent of pitting women against men in competing for needed support structures. The answer is likely a radical change of mindset as well as additional policy. By no means should we seek to regress in the opportunities that have been hard won for women, and I do not think this article is seeking to advocate for that.

> Try working with lazy immutable data structures in Rust.

I don’t think this is that hard; you “just” need to construct the data structures as elements of an object-graph data structure, and then retrieve your data through an explicit thunk of the object-graph itself.

In lazy languages the object-graph data structure is implicit, but that doesn’t mean that the Rust version of the call site code needs to be any more verbose. It’s just the definitions of the data structures themselves that would be more unwieldy. (And you could probably build some generic lazy container types and mostly work with those.)

Think: what Objective-C does with autorelease-pool objects.

So far I've mostly used Celery in Python, but at jobs past there was also Sidekiq (granted, the use cases for that were a bit different, but it's kind of in the same bucket).

Haven't had the opportunity to work with them, but I've heard good things about SQS and other cloud queues, but I think those are fundamentally message queues, so you'd be responsible for writing a job queue layer over it, which can be a huge hassle.

Sure, but I think that China would rather keep the US out of their infrastructure than get into the US infrastructure, and the reverse. Neither side seems likely to make such a deal.

China especially heavily leverages their infrastructure for geopolitical purposes. Censoring and monitoring inside the country, launching attacks outside of the country, etc. I really doubt they want the US to get any leverage in the form of controlling some of the nodes, even if they are supposed to by agreement only route traffic from inside China to inside China.

The quality and depth of information available online, especially via forums, far exceeds what one can expect from a single employee. I don’t see how any store could compete on that aspect, although the online info is probably limited to people who are adept at reading English.
