This. Pee for enjoyment, not for employment.
Rivian and Taycan are both interesting like a Tesla. But neither Rivian nor Taycan are going to be as affordable as the Model 3 is today and the Y and Cybertruck will be in the future. Rivian is like Model S and X pricing. Taycan is above that, on the same order as Tesla's next gen roadster for their top end version.

Model 3 really is a masterpiece, IMHO. Affordable, more efficient than any other car, fantastic electric range and the fastest charging speed you can get, and as cutting edge autopilot/assist tech (not to mention infotainment) as you can get in any production car.

I wish someone would try to one-up the Model 3.

Nice!
it is a really fun game, in spite of EA.

Part of it is wishful thinking. But, how wild would that be ?
They're at least as popular where I am as the LDPE or woven plastic options; at least at Whole Foods type stores. But I didn't intend to mislead.

Besides my point is more that plastics have an appropriate place in the environmental scheme of things. Whether you treat them as disposable or reusable.
Seems like men are overrepresented in the areas where “boys will be boys” and/or men oughtn’t to “act like girls”. Men should probably care about addressing behavior and not worry about what to women are doing. It’s not men problems, it’s stupid problems.
From what I've seen, it seems to me that it's even more than half now. There's a lot of 'cancel culture' in tech now. Lots of people are happy about the de-platforming of people they disagree with.

People today seem to be more willing to kick someone off the internet, get someone fired from their work, or put someone on blast socially than they are willing to simply sit down and debate the person - or just mute/block/ignore/avoid them themselves.
The prices, especially if you're going to buy a mobo and a CPU at the same time in a combo deal are frequently the lowest you can find.

I also shy away from amazon for some computer components because of all the fake stuff Amazon is now filled with. At MC you're much more likely to get the actual real part you ordered.
1. e-bikes, automated driving and policy changes in cities over the next decade.

2. Evolution of computer technology continue to ephemeralize. (Buckminister Fuller). The rapid changes have reached a point where it is all but invisible to the average consumer. No AGI, but signficant social and policy changes over the next year as a result of cloud-based AI.

3. Fracturing and polarization of subcultures continue. Seems ripe for some sort of Black Swan tech or event to swing things into a different direction.

4. Major upheavals, scandals, excesses related to technology, privacy, comes into play, even more so than what we have seen with Cambridge Analytics. Tech, which had once been the underdog seeking to revolutionize our society, will now be the major point of revolution itself. Cherished values such as tech being "value-neutral", or that it is an enabling force for good, will be seriously questioned. The tech elites (engineers, designers, etc.) are no longer seen as the outcast nerds, or the heroes, or a force of democratization and self-determination, but as the villains, drawing much of the same ire that Wall Street has by Main Street. I expect to see more and more activism, and large-scale protests against Big Tech.

What about the screenshots linked in the article?
First, if you have legitimate health problems when exposed to smoke..sorry, that sucks.

But my anecdotal experience in almost every case of being around people who claim to be highly sensitive or allergic to minor things like smoke or perfumes they're highly dramatic. I know a few people who claim to be highly allergic to vape 'smoke'. Yet people vape around them all the time and they don't seem to be affected until they physically see them do it. Then magically their ailment is a huge deal.

Again, sorry if that isn't the case with you. Just my experience. Regardless, this policy is wack.
1. No self-driving cars this decade. Most self-driving car companies go bankrupt

2. AI winter. NN will be used for classification and deepfakes. No self driving and important areas were AI decision could kill or make harm. Military is exception.

3. Tesla will be largest car company.

4. Daily volume of GRAM transaction will be more than all other cryptocurrencies combined. Most of smart-contracts will be created for for telegram open network. Bitcoin will be used for wealth accumulation and at the end of decade will cost about the same as today ±10k usd.

5. No mainstream VR,AR etc. it will be used in niches like education, gaming and porn. This technologies will not dominate in these niches.

6. iPhone will look like current model but may be with more cameras.

7. China economy will be in depression next decade.

8. Russia collapses like Soviet Union, or may loose some territories.

9. US will be the largest economy but not with wide margin as most of the new business will hide from US taxes and regulation in offshores and crypto.

10. Search will be cash cow for google, but users will use search less and less during decade. Video monopoly will be more important for google at the end of decade.

11. Most content producers will try to escape youtube monopoly.

12. Most new code will run on webassemby runtime

13. Decriminalization of cannabis around the western world. Decriminalization of psychedelics in a few countries.

14. Few huge leaks of personal content and data. People will care less about privacy. Huge dirty secrets will be leaked but nobody care in a week.

15. More populist elected around the world.

16. Sharing economy will dominate all niches.

17. Multiple people rating providers appear around the world.

Yea, must fight back!
thanks for the info! great to know!
They've banned smoking on the job for years now.

This is now banning nicotine use off the job as well.
It's a shame really that the tribes' knowledge wasn't studied more under the scientific method. Maybe some of the methods could have been usefully preserved. Bloodletting at the point of a severe infection is nothing new, but maybe some of the predictive forecasting was rather amazing for its time.
Google and Amazon are now in the oil business
People are already doing this. Untold Studios in London are running (almost) all their workstations in AWS and the desktops are just Intel NUCs running Teradici.

It makes sense when all your assets are also stored in the cloud.

Not sure the economics are there for everyone yet, as cloud storage requirements for digital content creation can get very expensive very quickly.
For me, it's end statements. I hate them.
Algebra and reinforcement learning platform for interpretable symbolic math
Tech-related:

- Programming languages compiling to JS _and_ WASM will appear.

- Substructural type systems will be incorporated into mainstream languages.

- Technologies like Nix and guix will become the default for package management and CI.

- click-to-deploy self-hosted services that offer real privacy will become really popular (email solutions, ActivityPub-based social networks, personal clouds and such).

UIs:

- Popular apps will ditch scrolling from their UIs.

- Windows will start supporting tiling (as in tiling WMs).

Society-related:

- Artificial wombs will become mainstream as a more "safe" way of giving birth.

- Deepfakes will not cause any of the predicted damage.

- Cryptocurrency market will not grow significantly.

- Massive movements against ads on the streets will spawn. Generally, people will care much more about safety/comfort of their minds.
I read the post with a lot of nostalgia!

Back in the late-80s when I was a kid, I was fascinated by both the ST and Amiga. I bought several books about them and read everything I could find about their internals in computer magazines.

Unfortunately, my knowledge remained theoretical as they were too expensive for me. I had to invent tricks and find ways with the Z80 of my cheap home computer to simulate the marvels that could run on these 68000 power-horses!

It was a great, yet tedious exercise. I owe a lot to the nights spent trying to emulate some feature of the Amiga or the ST on my limited Z80 machine.
You are welcome to disagree but I guess I am missing your point.

Having a website doesn't require a domain. DNS is a vanity layer on top to make it more user friendly and provide an abstraction layer. Domain registration costs money today. According to your argument that should be free or it is limiting your speech. I never said anything about speech or what you use the domains for. If it is yours, do whatever you want with it. Ethos bought .org for $1B. Why should a private equity company be able to own DNS suffixes? Are you okay with that?

The issue at hand is that these domains are being created specifically to deceive. This is an issue of consumer protection and greater good. The US just passed bigger fines for robo-callers. Everyone seems fine with not getting scam phone calls from their own phone number. Is this a restriction of free speech? Everyone isn't allowed to run their own tv or radio station, it is regulated. Is that limiting your free speech? You can't make up your own phone number. If you want a special 800 number that is more memorable, you have to pay the phone company lots of extra money for it. I'm merely suggesting similar.
Many more men abandon the family than women. Just is so.
> You should be writing sci-fi!

Thanks! A few of these are the premise for sci-fi stories I never got around to writing. I'll send you a link to Amazon if I ever do put pen to digital paper.

Haha, true. Also vaguely like the justification for the Matrix being like it is i.e. office jobs rather than utopia.
I welcome your counterpoints which are unpopular of course.

> Research shows that multiculturalism does not help nations and only leads to mutual distrust, increased political partisanship, and a whole host if other problems.

Factual proof done by research? Any links?
No, you write macros (duck and hide).
Not exactly. Electric assist should stop above 25km/h for the ebike to still be considered a bicycle (and be allowed on bike lanes, etc.); but it's not hard to go above that speed when going downhill for example, and not against the law (provided you still respect the speed limit for the road you're on).

I don't think there are specific speed limits for bike lanes, or bikes, anywhere in the EU (but of course I could be wrong).
Not that familiar with the specifics of the law here so many someone more knowledgeable can shed some light. Can employers discriminate against non protected classes that are closely correlated with protected classes? For example hiring only non vegetarians, people that drink alcohol etc that correlates with certain religions.
AI Predictions for 2020: Business Leaders and Researchers Weigh In
- fossil fuel power stations will not be built anymore

- still no safe deposit for radioactive waste

- electric cars will be everywhere

- if not electrified trains, ships and some planes will use hydrogen as fuel

- new houses will use a combination of solar/wind power, batteries and hydrogen storage making them energy autarkic

- nuclear fusion for energy generation will finally be developed. However nobody cares, because renewable energy sources are so much cheaper in 2030.

- Oil-producing countries will be in decline

- SpaceX will build space-based solar power stations

Petal makes credit simple, transparent, and accessible.

We use machine learning to analyze cash flow data to augment traditional credit score-based lending decisions. Because of that, we're able to expand access to fair and honest credit to people who might otherwise be forced to use predatory subprime credit products. If we're successful, we could change the entire industry for the better by making cash flow underwriting the standard.

We're venture-backed, post-Series B, and growing fast. Please apply if you're a product-minded engineer and interested in growing the impact of our social mission.

It's more than just graphics APIs - Linux has long supported old-school OpenGL, so that wasn't really the problem.

The state of audio libraries and systems on Linux is worse and OpenAL is now proprietary. Even if you're making a desktop-environment game (E.g. using GTK without SDL) there isn't a good, widely-supported Linux API for audio.

Don't forget the other difficulties with porting Windows games (and software in general) to Linux that libraries like SDL can't help with, like file-system locations, deciding if you want to only support X or Wayland if you need window-manager integration, etc (granted, these concerns are less relevant today as games send to be filesystem-silod, single-window or exclusive-mode applications - but think about how games were in the mid-1990s with the multi-window SimCity 2000 or those desktop amusement minigames.
Ah, a very choice quote:

No, the Atomic Pi is what you get when you try to fill an existential void by buying stuff.

A working, large quantum computer is built rendering existing encryption useless. But everyone switches to quantum-resistant encryption algorithms long before this becomes a problem for the average person as the machines remain technically complex, expensive and too hard to program for the average fraudster. It then becomes clear that there are very few actual applications a quantum computer is better at (given price, difficulty to program, the fact we mostly use computers to check facebook not to do hard maths etc.).
Quantum computer become irrelevant outside a few specialist applications in things like protein folding.
Given the popularity of single-board computers among hobbyist folk, I'm going to bet there will be more "repurposed industrial waste" SBC fiascos in the future.
Are there any cases of games banning people using virtual machines with videocard passthrough?

I was strongly considering going this route but kinda worried game developers will start cracking down on it.

They don't have to be date specific but they need fresh ones constantly. They get flagged as malicious quickly (within a day or so for large spam campaigns) so they need fresh ones that aren't flagged.

The date is sometimes used to confuse people when they're reading it so they think it's part of the URL and not the actual domain name.
Quick listing some top predictions & my take on right/wrong

Iran will Change : I’ll call it NO

RFID-Everything : Basically NO… not in consumer-land, at least

Cheap Flat Panel Displays : YES

Ubiquitous & Wireless/Mobile: YES

Ebooks Take Over & Pirates Win: NO. Surprisingly, the opposite happened. monolithic legal markets did really well.

Electric Cars Event Horizon: ALMOST

Driverless Cars Go Live: NO.

Still No Fusion Power: CORRECT

MSFT Declines: NO

Chinese Bubble Burst: NO

Lady Gaga is New Madonna: Yes. Good call!

Google will Change for Worst: CORRECT on the moral point. INCORRECT on the financial one

Pension Bomb Problems: No

Habitable Planet Found: PROBABLY, but we don’t know which one it was.

Data Mining Political Watershed: YES.
That little table is the only place where China looks good with regards to CO2 emissions. If the US had 4x the population, ceteris paribus, we'd have even lower CO2 "per capita" than China. Doesn't change one bit the fact that China emits 40% more CO2 than the next biggest polluter.

I've never seen a vote to kick system actually function for the purpose of banning disruptive players. For instance, if only one vote can be conducted between rounds, then all the cheater has to do is be the first to pick some random schlub and try to get them kicked.
By that logic, shouldn't all cyclists wear a DOT rated motorcycle helmet? I'm pretty sure those flimsy bicycle helmets most people wear aren't rated for vehicular strikes.
> Anti-cheat software is an absolute shit show of cat-and-mouse tactics. It’s often difficult to distinguish anti-cheat software from rootkits or spyware. They’re invasive and user hostile, and they frequently cause collateral damage that is swept under the rug and that support tacitly refuses to acknowledge.

Sure, but I don't see a good alternative. Cheating is a real problem and will quickly destroy your online community (see other comments in this thread). Sacrificing a small percent of your playerbase in the name of having a functioning online system at all seems like a reasonable solution to me. It's unfortunate that it is necessary, but people are jerks.
If you're in the SF Bay Area, and you like electronics, do yourself a favor and check out Al Lasher's Electronics in Berkeley: http://allashers.com/ "Family owned and operated since 1960."
This is the opposite direction Tesla is moving though. The last few updates have drastically improved voice commands (with some hiccups; an update or two actually made them worse). It is unlikely Tesla will increase the number of software defined physical controls in the vehicle, just my two cents.
This isn't about smoking, this about nicotine supplementation.

I think the idea is that even if all the current top emitters do take initiative, China and India's emissions are expected to grow quickly. The losses will win over the gains.
Their taking the overall emissions targets from the IPCC SR15 report and dividing it per-capita.

My preferred way of visualizing it is the first, third and fourth set of graphs here: https://ipcc.ch/sr15/graphics

Its pretty insane what we have to do now because we've wasted so much time "debating".
People weren't offended by your comment, it was just ignorant. 8 of these 20 lines are comments, so it is not code golf, just a very simple algorithm that anyone can read and understand. If you wish to not get down voted in the future you should probably try to read and understand things before commenting.
I built this small tool to create buttons with Tailwind. The buttons can have background and text colors, margins, paddings, rounded corners and shadow.

>super-lightweight OS that is not bloated

That's my problem with Chrome OS. It's super bloated. It's like three operating systems in one with containers acting as duct tape.

I liked the original idea of Chrome OS. But that idea hasn't worked out or perhaps it was just abandoned too soon.
The unfortunate truth is that if you show precisely when someone is caught, they can mine that information to determine how to keep from getting caught. If you let it go blatantly and then enforce a crack down, it's much less possible to know when they found out, or what the methodology was in making determinations.
I don't understand how this is legal.

How about banning sugars? Or prohibit alcoholic beverages again?
Second hand smoking can be addressed by prohibiting smoking on company premises, which is totally fair game.

This is the company demanding to have a say in what their employees do on their own time, off of company property. That's abusive.
It’s a slippery slope, but it’s easy to think that way because it’s personally appealing to you.

What if the policy banned something else - chewing gum, perfume, or eating foods with strong odors? All of those things do bother me but I put up with it because it’s not just about me.
