EVs are simpler products that make lots of knowledge and experience useless. And the most expensive part of EVs is the battery made by Asian companies.

So it you start "too early" you introduce negative scaling effects on your highly profitable combustion business AND have to invest a lot upfront for the EV models.

There is no way to win this game, many workers will lose their jobs and also initial investments will affect profit and dividends. If you are too slow, Tesla will take the profitable segments anyway.

Well of course. You can’t care about climate change, and buy a car.
There are over 40 countries that contribute to at least 1% of global carbon. If each one of them takes this ridiculous stance, we won’t be easily able to reduce our carbon footprint.

Your argument is pretty awful.

Everything I've read about this case has been in Mint Press. Are we really supposed to consider that "the right-wing blogosphere"? I feel like we're losing something when words no longer have specific meanings... why would "right-wingers" care more about medical abuse and kidnapping than "left-wingers"?

In olden times, advocating for more merciful prison terms was also not considered "right-wing". Is it really different now? I guess at least Gottesfeld hasn't been called "antisemitic" yet... he's no Jeremy Corbyn.
With that argument, nobody can ever have high impact on anything.

i still have my mp3 player from 2009. i am always worried that it will die one day and i wouldn't be able to find a good replacement for it.

i recently heard on a podcast that smartphones are bad as music players because they are very distracting. especially for athletes. a single notification or message can lower their performance for minutes. music on its own can however boost performance.

as most mp3 players are moving to using android as their main OS and requiring wifi, location and whatnot, i have learned to appreciate the simplicity of the first few generations of mp3 players. so i really like what this project is doing for some reason.

Ask HN: How did you do with your 2019 goals?
Hello HN folks,

This might be a cliche resolutions post but it is always a pleasure to read through the comments every year and seeing what this community is up to.
I'd love to know if you had set out any goals (personal, professional, something else) for the year or part of the year of 2019 and how far did you reach.

As for myself, I started with 2019 with four personal goals:

- Go to the gym 3 times a week

- Get more social and make some close friends

- Learn a new language

- Read 30 books

I went to the gym about 80 times since April. I'm a little soft on myself because I never went to a gym ever before and had a terrible fitness level. My fitness has improved but not significantly. I count this as 40% successful.

I've made two very good friends and connected back with an old friend. I was not social at all but made the close friends I wanted. This is 50% success.

I was learning Spanish but dropped that by June for reasons that can only be classified as excuses. I'm still thinking through if I should pick up again or not. Total failure.

I read 30 books. I used to be an avid reader in my teens but then dropped it through college so I've started back again and I'm thoroughly enjoying. This goal made my two hour commute a day very productive.

So it was 50% success, but my grit and perseverance has improved as a side-effect. I'll probably carry these on into 2020 as well and to make these into (hopefully) long lasting habits.

Tax deductions for retirement, mortgages, etc. are tax code complexity that benefit the financial and real estate industries.

Just saying objects and morphisms. The types of each are found in CT, which abstract-up to these, but are bounded/encompassed by the limits we know of regarding elementary ideas like cliques, cycles, paths, colouring, various morphisms.

Compression, folding, encoding, and other information theory ideas have analogues represented as these, and the bottom up/depth first search of the problem space seems to come at it from the wrong direction.

We're well into indulging Internet crank territory here but I'm naively speculating that for every known theorem, there is a consistent object/morphism representation of it, and the rules we're getting good at finding for these relationships (graphs) will yield insights we were missing for lack of an encompassing consistent abstraction.
Electric cars accelerated some trends already in motion: The simplicity of electric cars dropped the last few barriers to *horizonalization."

It's a conspiracy theory, so like you I hesitate to offer any "evidence". If you don't mind pondering some stray thoughts: Racism has taken on an outsized life of its own in USA, but that might have been a contingent feature of our horrific history. Poor whites have been brutal to blacks, but always with the approval and guidance of the wealthy. Their brutality never improved their own lot, but it did distract them... Now in the present, we've created a blameless class of authorities with "dangerous" jobs (well, not compared to pizza delivery) who are deputized to continue the racial brutalization we no longer trust "civilians" to provide. Meanwhile we export our (excess) brutality to brown populations in other lands but somehow this is never viewed through the obvious lens. DoD has "misplaced" trillions of dollars, and we have to learn of it through "alternative" publishers. Somehow, every time a non-white person is harmed without justification, someone makes money on it...
The idea of companies suing countries isn't some new thing introduced by the TPP. Most countries allow it and it's generally seen as a good thing.

I didn't implement a font-size feature because I thought the 'zoom' would be good enough -- it resizes the entire UI, but that's a benefit for some people (my parents for example, or me -- with a 55" 4K monitor I use as my desktop - but I sit far away).

I _just_ implemented a threshold feature (will be released in 2.1.0 -- probably in January). You can see the PR: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/pull/322 -- I hope that's what you had in mind.

Another feature I plan to implement is fuzzy search (just have to pick one of 3 libraries to use: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App/issues/311 )

Double-click toggle is something others requested -- I'll see if it's easy-enough to implement. Perhaps single click would then just show similar as you suggest, while double-click would open.

Just FYI -- all the generated screenshots & thumbnails are based off the filesize, so when you decide to create a new hub that has a lot of the same videos (perhaps when you're creating smaller hubs from individual folders from the symlink one), you could just copy/paste the screenshots and the screen generation process would go by quicker (the app will just check that the screenshot exists and move on). After that, when you click the "Any changes" resscan option - it will delete any screenshots for videos not in the hub.

Huh...? This couldn't be further from the truth. They may not be terribly picky about the technical details about them, but actual human beings take photos... all the damned time.

> The trick to solve the camera problem is just buying a good camera that isn't your phone.

Coupled with your other view on this, it's not worth discussing how ridiculously inconvenient that would be for what people take photos for: social media.

This may not reflect your own usage pattern, but it sure as hell is what real people do with their phones. Taking pictures of their casseroles and making duck lips with their friends.

This is the first thing I tell students that are thinking about law school: make connections in the region where you want to work and do not worry about your grades. Nobody cares about your grades (except for big-time clerkships and top tier hellhole law offices, but you still need connections). I have submitted my transcript—a supposed representation of my technical talent—to one job that I applied for since graduating 10 years ago. Hiring people want to know what other equivalent professionals think of me and that’s it.
As I wrote before, I've also worked in some of the largest companies in the world. Obviously those do have meeting rooms in their offices, but IME people typically just bring their own laptops/devices to a meeting. I can't remember the last time I saw a dedicated PC that stayed in a meeting room, other than maybe ones used to run projectors and such in a conference centre that was hired out.
I’ve been thinking about workplace communication like this a lot lately. I think the “best” structure (most productive for most people) is a 3-tier system on separate tools.

“Instant” message (slack): 2 hours

Email: 36 hours

Maybe that’s too much for you. But knowing I can get both get a response from anyone within 2 hours, but don’t have to respond in less than 2 hours would make me very happy.

I think what you are trying to say is that it's not using the modulo operator to derive the pattern from the integers, instead it is simply encoding the pattern directly in the program as a pattern (false, false, true, ...).

Your objection is confusing everyone else because these are both equally "calculations", and the meaning of the "divided evenly by three" calculation and the meaning of the FFTFFTFFT... sequence are the same, so it just two ways of expressing the same thing. Either way is just as "precalculated" as the other.

Over the past few months I've been consciously reducing my time spent on news sites/reddit/social media. It's been a huge benefit to my available time & overall level of focus, but that change has definitely left me craving some more legitimate & compelling articles to read and I've been feeling a bit "out of the loop". The Economist sounds like a wonderful recommendation & I've just subscribed based on reading your comment -- thanks so much for the suggestion!

> A self-driving car's computer takes hundreds of watts to run, uses reduced precision and custom silicon wherever possible, and does not begin to approach the navigational ability of a mouse or bird whose brain consumes less than one watt of power.

I would not trust the brain of a mouse or a bird to drive me in a car. Also the self-driving car computers which take hundreds of watts to run do not take advantage of custom silicon to the greatest possible extent, because the relevant algorithms are evolving rapidly. There is probably at least an order of magnitude or two of power efficiency that can be gained with current systems if the algorithms were truly baked into the chips.
I did the "no-poo" (terrible marketing) thing some time back and swear by it, even if there is an icky adjustment period. I don't know how well this will work for deodorant. If this is something you want to undertake, I can suggest a couple of things:

First, shave off your underarm hair. I have a rather keen sense of smell, to the point where I can find my own scent off-putting by evening. Without long strands of fur to cling to, the bacteria will not do as well.

Second, experiment. You could try a left-right method, using one side of your body as control. You might also try putting some T-shirts in a plastic bag and getting someone else (someone you trust and would humor you with this endeavor) to try a whiff test to see what another vantage point has to offer.

However, shave away. Helps quite a lot.
When the rich get richer, and the poor don’t, one can expect that prices rise for things that rich people buy (stocks), but not for things that poor people buy (food, gasoline, rent).

Yet the latter are the kind of items used to measure inflation.

Maybe stocks aren’t really getting over-valued, maybe it’s the dollar that’s getting de-valued.

Quantitative Easing.

What I am trying to say is that I’m not confident that a correction is imminent.
