>In my country, one of the electronics stores has this thing where you pay about 35 USD per month, each month for 24 months, to have a MacBook Air in your possession, but which you don't own. So I guess in a way it is sort of rent/leasing. But the nice thing is that after the 24 months are up, you will be able to exchange it for a new model.

Interesting. That sounds like a so-called operating lease, which is quite common in my country for business technology purchases, and other operating assets that become outdated quickly and need to be rolled over every few years. It's similar to a regular financing arrangement (where a customer may spread the full cost of acquiring some asset over X months instead of paying in full up front), but the customer never actually owns the asset.

Instead of paying the full cost gradually via monthly payments, an operating lease is structured so that there will be a somewhat large residual payment due if the customer wants to keep the asset at the end, which allows for lower monthly payments. And, as you mentioned, encourages the usual situation where the customer returns the items at the end of the term, and immediately takes out a fresh lease on some new technology.

Since the customer taking out the lease never owns the asset, they needn't depreciate it or worry about other long-term asset concerns, and can treat the payments as deductible operating expenses rather than as the purchase of a fixed asset that would go on the balance sheet. Paying a predictable expense every month for your equipment can often be more manageable than making one big capital outlay every few years, and sometimes has tax advantages too.
> Typesense use a default_sorting_field on each document, it means that before indexing your documents you need to compute a relevancy score for typesense to be able to sort them based on your needs

This is not entirely true. You can just use a field with a constant value (say 100) as the default sorting field and Typesense will just use the text based relevancy. Please update your comment.

The reason why Typesense does insist on one, though is that it's always a good idea to have a field that indicates popularity of a record (or a proxy to it). It makes search so much better.
It supports to elevate the current shell or execute elevated commands in the current console window or in a '--new' window. Supports redirecting > StdIn/Out/Err. Keeps the current working directory.

> it would be difficult to get friends to make the switch

Could you elaborate on why this is an issue? Plex doesn't really have network effects and is usually only managed by 1 person.

Maybe you give your friends access to your instance? In which case it seems like they are in no position to complain.
Is it practical to own it as the primary car though? Can you travel cross-country in the Bolt without spending hours charging?
I don’t think anyone who really understands Amazon would have ever claimed that they have a bus factor of 1. In fact, I don’t think much would have changed if Bezos retired a decade ago. There’s a reason there are two other Amazon CEOs.
Huh. I have a er-x with hardware offloading turned on. I have noticed no issues with netflix.

I get about 900 megabit on my gigabit fiber.
Uganda is much smaller than the USA, and more densely populated. Country-wide LTE makes a lot more economic sense there, especially when you consider that mobile internet is the primary way of connecting to the Internet in Africa.
This is non-GAAP.

Yeah, I’ll definitely consider changing my mind. 2020 seems like a hard year for them to pull that off
The problem is that all old car manufacturers are treating EV like the enemy, which it is to their old ways. Same thing happened with Kodak. Imagine your art, your soul, your heritage of combustion engines ripped away. You spend decades, centuries even, perfecting the internal combustion engine. Your pride and joy is now obsolete. You can see why it was so hard for everyone to switch over. Almost all your cumulative knowledge, obsolete. Everything back to the drawing board. It is why Toyota, with their insanely successful Prius, who knew full an well how transformative the EV side is, dragged their heals until to this very day. Most of the Germans have delayed their EVs for mass market in the US from 2021 to 2022. Even Hyundai, who is the closets to Tesla in efficiency, is frought with delays. "We are X* we will have no problem making an EV" they said!

*Daimler, Volkswagon, Audi
I think your mistake is in assuming that Tesla only makes cars, and the number of them they make is the only factor that goes into their valuation.

They also have the world's biggest charging network, storage solutions, solar solutions and produce more batteries than virtually everyone else combined. Mercedes actually just put out a press release that said they can't build enough electric cars because they can't build enough batteries, because Tesla acquired the company they were going to use in 2016. Evidently Mercedes have done exactly zero about that in the years since.

Of course Tesla also have the whole "self driving car" thing they've been working on for a while. If they crack that one in the next ~24 months, their valuation will easily top Toyota's, because they're worth so much more than just how many cars they can build.
The extremely flexible todo, and build parts of the site are probably my favourites.

Anonymous non-user people allowed on issue tracker that doesn't have to be linked to any repo? Awesome. (And you can export easily.)

Easy to combine multiple build projects into a single build that can be kicked off by any one of the projects? Sweet.

Drew is also really responsive if you run into any problems.
On an iPhone you will not notice the difference, it's negligible
I doubt Tesla will sell to them, Elon has said a few times their vehicle output is constrained by how many battery cells they can make. If they sell those cells to other manufacturers, they won't be able to make so many cars themselves.
If you look at their letter you can see a comparison between the layouts of their California and Shanghai factories. Massive difference in efficiency. They learned a lot from their initial debacle of Model 3 ramp-up. Cap-ex per unit was announced as being 65% lower in the China factory.
>The study, published this month in Science, brings together molecular genetic analysis and computer modeling to show how gene expression directs leaves to grow.

At first this seemed like gene profiling & modelling, however it was modeling the mechanism of leaf shapes based on existing theories rather than a map of gene mutations and outcomes, which I confess is more interesting itself than the specific implication of leaf cup shapes. If I want procedural generation I can find it already...
Are you interested in talking about this article? Because it isn't about psychology.
Extraordinarily strange, given that inventories haven’t changed to near the same degree.
The people voting for this party are poorly educated, and derive almost all information from "mainstream" media, which is largely owned by Murdoch.
Neither of those cars exist.
The isolator most likely won't help. Odds are the pickups on the guitar are picking up the extra noise from the pedal, thus it will always pass the noise along the entirety of the chain, isolated hub or not.
The comment means that they recently “voted in” the guy who (previously) brought a lump of coal into parliament.

> Edit 2: Jesus Christ man I had no idea I was giving you my fucking address. That's a little too granular for my taste

So the accuracy of the location being provided depends entirely on your device. From a website (or any other app) perspective, they simply request the client provide it's location.

Now if you happen to have a strong GPS lock on your device with 5m or less accuracy, that's not something the website (or app) knows ahead of time.

> If this is truly innocent I'm sorry for my reaction, but you should be asking people first, given the current state of advertisement and surveillance on the net. We both read HN.

Not trying to victim blame here, but if you're claiming more technical audience and concerns about privacy, are you genuinely unaware that this is how location services and permissions works? If so, I guess this is a painful learning experience for you. You're gonna have a bad time now as you think about how many different apps you've given location permissions too, because a lot of those apps will have a bunch of third party trackers involved that are connecting your IP, location, along with device identifier and any other information they can use to add to a much larger database to identify exactly who you are and everyone you know (think I'm exagerating on the last part? Have you ever shared your contacts list with an app like Whatsapp to find other contacts?)

The internet today sucks. I don't think this particular author is the person you want to be pooping hard on, they're highly unlikely to be part of the problem.
Industrial solar generally has much less maintenance costs than distributed. There’s some exceptions, Hawaii for instance, but it’s very expensive to have to constantly maintain solar panels in peoples homes in ways that industrial solar isn’t
There are thousands of desktop app developers that never got out of the hobby stage because they couldn’t get past the costs of processing payments, managing refunds, managing download servers, implementing licensing frameworks, implementing a smooth upgrade process, search engine optimization, establishing enough trust with users that they are confident they aren’t installing malware infected software, marketing, push notification infrastructure, and probably a few other things I’m not thinking of.

It’s probable that 30% is too much to pay for help with all of that, but people too often act like Apple’s just taxing them and providing no commensurate value at all.
What program do you use? Do you have an iPad that supports a pencil? How is it?
> During that period of my physical prime (ages 18 to 26), I couldn't climb a flight of stairs or ride a bike without getting completely winded. Any sort of physical exertion would result in gasping, coughing up phlegm, and seeing stars.

I started running when I was probably smoking 10 a day and was in the best shape of my life up to that point. If you don’t do any exercise and you smoke you’re likely to be in pretty awful shape. But you can easily smoke and be in much better shape than people who don’t exercise. The bar is very low.

As ever, you need to plan your trip around charging stops. A Better Route Planner (https://abetterrouteplanner.com/) is a useful tool but it's a bit conservative for the Bolt (although I think it's better to be conservative than stranded). It also doesn't necessarily take into account overnight charging. On a long trip you'd charge overnight and start the next day with a full battery: https://www.torquenews.com/8861/chevrolet-bolt-ev-issues-bet...

> Arthur MacArthur Jr who made Captain by the age of 21

That's definitely young, but the average age of a Captain in the US military today is 27, and you can be one as early as 25.
That isn't really what that Wikipedia page is saying - although the interpretation is ambiguous.

"In contrast, in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia and in other parliamentary systems and elsewhere, the term two-party system is sometimes used to indicate an arrangement in which two major parties dominate elections but in which there are viable third parties which do win seats in the legislature, and in which the two major parties exert proportionately greater influence than their percentage of votes would suggest."

The important weasel word there is "sometimes" and in those cases it would be incorrect. To form Government one has to have a majority. To gain this majority, the current Government is formed by a "coalition" - which is a combination of parties - Nationals and Liberals. The opposing majority party is Labor. So here you have 3 parties. Not to mention that the structure of the Australian elections is such that we have one of the most democratic systems using compulsory, preferential voting - meaning that everybody has to vote, and all votes convey some power in decision making. The only case where this isn't try is in a recent edge case caused by rule changes allowing you to number above the line (and not to completion).

It is about as close as you could get to a fair democratic system that is not systemically bound to be a two party system, and in practice, has not resulted in a two party system, but one of a coalition, a majority opposition and a decent growing minor party. (With many others in the senate).
You’re right re: it’s early internals, and we probably both know people who still (mistakenly) complain about that. Conceptually the “everything is a string”(EIAS) model still holds though, even though it’s supported by dual-ported “objects” w native representation, and the running is often byte-compiled instead of string parsing. We’ve got early smart fans who saw the vision and possibilities like Karl Lehenbauer, Don Libes, Richard Hipp, and the current core team like Kevin Kenny, Don Porter, Donal Fellows, etc who deeply understand What Tcl Is, and strictly maintain it, even while pushing it ahead (TclObj, finally an in-core blessed object system, native database framework, Miguel Sopher’s(RIP) work on the stackless non-recursive engine (NRE) and coroutines that fell out of that work...

>GroupBy is a very common API and is poorly documented

My god is it poorly documented. A lot of us newbies trying to do dataframe stuff for the first time get stuck on GroupBy, trying to figure out how it works. Dplyr's functions are miles ahead on useability and documentation.
So, I think you're mostly right, but not for these reasons. People have been sneaking forbidden things past borders for a long time. Think of the drug trade. Every country has a chemical drug trade it seems, even countries where the penalty is death such as Thailand. Then you also have to think that countries like China... Will be the countries making those Starlink receivers, so Chinese people looking to bypass the firewall may not have to get the equipment around any borders. They might be able to pick them up at the back of the factory, or when they "fall off a truck".

I also think it might be somewhat difficult to detect and track receivers down. You need specialized equipment to triangulate receivers, multiple vehicles. AFAIK Starling satellites use phased array antennas, which, if I understand correctly, might mean that they can sort of direct a beam towards you, and your dish will be pointed at the sky, not wasting power directing waves in every direction. That makes triangulation significantly harder than it would be for a cellphone.

That being said, Elon Musk can't just enable Starlink everywhere. China has enormous political leverage and a powerful military, and Tesla just finished building a new factory there. He can't just give them the middle finger. The official policy will be to either comply with the Chinese filtering rules, or not offer Starlink in China. Still, if Elon does care about censorship, maybe he will leave some kind of backdoor... Maybe it will be surprisingly easy to "crack" your Starlink receiver and set it to a fake country code, and suddenly have access to unfiltered US-region internet from anywhere (think mod chips). Then, China and other countries may not care enough to crack down. People routinely bypass the Chinese firewall using VPNs, and as far as I know, they're not going to prison for it. Hopefully it remains that way.
The most amazing thing about this story, repeatedly trumpeted to the skies, is that anyone thinks there is anything to it. "Architect discovers that standardizing the curvature of curved parts reduces expense and complication!"

Next up, spherical balls bounce straighter, and circular wheels roll smoother. Who could ever have guessed?
What statistic says that Tesla’s are the safest cars on the road right now? Based on death statistics for vehicles of their age and class they generally are about 2x worse.

I love Bookmark Manager extension (Chrome) but Google suddenly killed it :( so now my only option is Chrome built-in bookmarks. Bookmark must be really quick and easy using with a couple of clicks to add/access so all external website options are not relevant to me. Pocket and Keep are the best alternatives with their Chrome extensions but unfortunately I already use them for reading/noting respectively.

Tidyverse tools work on data.frame objects but they do have the unfortunate and undocumented habit of turning them into tibbles.
I recently bought a 2020 Bolt LT and I really enjoy it
- $26k "out the door" price (after taxes, registration, etc)
- 260 miles of range (66kWh battery by LG Chem)
- DC Fast Charging
- upright seating
- lots of headroom/legroom in the front and backseat
- dedicated LCD for the driver, separate from infotainment system

I compared it to a Tesla (test drove a Model 3), and a Tesla would be about $15k more.
I have no use for self-driving. As a software engineer, I feel that full self-driving requires a general AI, which I think is on the order of decades away.

I really just wanted a simple electric car with minimal maintenance and no fossil fuel dependencies.
Minimal complexity, no gimmicks (fart generator, Tesla? come on...)

With those requirements, the Bolt is awesome.

10.200.200.2/24 is a shorthand form (a.k.a. "CIDR notation") of saying IP address 10.200.200.2 with a 24-bit subnet mask (255.255.255.0).
Yup. I quit drinking soda based on a swallowing study I did where I had a pH meter in my esophagus. It freaked me out that I was swallowing something more acidic than my stomach so I stopped drinking it. That was back when fat was still considered worse for you than sugar.

Not really, no. I hope you don't have a large position in AMZN. It can only have a PE ratio of 82 because investors believe in the myth of Jeff Bezos.

I see this, and I cannot help but think, hey, one step closer to achieving the plain-text goodness magic of the R Notebook. But maybe I'm being too sassy. Its just that every time I pick up Jupyter I think, what is this clumsy thing? I know people love it, but that's how I feel. I wish pycharm had the in-line capabilities of the R Notebook, because I really like pycharm.
> I have a python/pandas script that take 3 days to run.

Pandas .map() and .apply() get real slow on big datasets. I found it quicker to solve a problem with a million line dataset by just using base python iterables instead, so nothing needed to fit into my RAM and I didn't have to work with slow pandas mapping.
How would you even identify a pain point from this data? With any confidence? Seems like the main utility of this data is to have something to back up your pitch to management when you are trying to show off and move up. It would be hard for me to believe this beats just asking people who rely on your software what they think are the pain points.
Addressing IC Security Threats Before and After They Emerge
It's a matter of shifting the definition of valuable from something generic others have told you, to something personal that works for you.

Believing yourself to be inherently capable of living a life you find worth living is how you pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
That also depends specifically where you are. If you move out to Rural New Mexico, this is a goddamn nightmare.
and plenty of people but stocks on their horoscope
Doesn't it also depend on how wealthy your neighbors are?

For an extreme example, an area with extremely low population (like the middle of the ocean), the bandwidth (at least surface to satellite bandwidth) will be wasted if no one is using it. The price could be much lower.

A poor community in a rich and population dense area probably would be priced out.

Will be interesting to see how it shakes out in practice. I could see it go both ways honestly.
Not just scientists. I'm alarmed too.
