I don't know about GP, but I certainly do.
That looks pretty sweet honestly. I know it's not a far out take, but my feeling with the established car makers that are doing fuel cells (e.g. Toyota, and in that model Hyundai), want to learn how to build cars that run on electricity, and put too many eggs into where the electricity comes from.

From the outside it looks frustrating that they are not going full tilt while Tesla does Tesla things, but I hope I see where they're coming from.
I've been following a multi-month discussion over in the r/electricvehicles subreddit about EPA range. There's a growing consensus that something is very wrong with it.

Here are a couple of the articles that got some discussion in that sub:

https://insideevs.com/news/407807/eletric-car-real-world-ran...

https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a30874032/porsche-tayca...

As someone who has owned both a Tesla Model X and one of the other EVs on the list from the first article, I can also provide my own anecdata that at freeway speeds Tesla routinely underperforms their EPA range rating, and by quite a large margin. Meanwhile at freeway speeds my non-Tesla EV routinely exceeds its EPA rating.

That's not to say that Tesla hasn't done an amazing job at maximizing efficiency in their cars. They have. Just maybe not to the degree that the EPA test would suggest.
From your blog post and the linked article:

> making a database look like an rpc api

I'd recommend checking out PostgREST for this (if you're using Postgres). We used this approach in my previous startup quite successfully.

We also have plans at Supabase[1] to make Postgres databases semi-ephemeral. You'll be able to spin them up/down using a restful API. The schemas/types will be accessible via a restful API: https://supabase.github.io/pg-api/. Not quite as simple as SQLite, but a good alternative.

Databases are cool.

I'm confused at your comment. These two sentences seem directly contradictory:

> i guess i might be in a minority but the large scale protests led to these outcomes.

> most politicians don’t give a flying forest for an isolated protest that happens all the way across the country. now if this happens in your backyard you pay attention.

Could you clear that up?

___

I'm not saying protests in other cities didn't contribute to governments in different cities taking action. I do think the nation-wide aspect of the protests helped move things along in Minneapolis/Lousiville/etc. I do think it's mostly indirect, though: I think protests across the country _indirectly_ increased the confidence and voices of protestors in other cities.

You seem to be conflating CHAZ–a very unique form of protest–with all protests. I think without CHAZ, the outcomes in the cities mentioned above would be the same.

Can you cite anyone in a position of power, or even a prominent voice leading the protests, in KY, MN, etc. that directly cite CHAZ?
This would explain two recent secretive projects.

First is the various attempts by China to build underground "neutrino detectors" in various parts of the country. Before all of the Chinese Academy of Science websites were taken down, you could see pictures of it. They were tunneling quite deep. 100 miles at around average depth of 4,000 feet.

Of course no one does nuclear like the Americans. The Department of Energy's secretive DUNE project...Deep Underground Nuetrino [E] is well under way across Illinois and will eventually extend the accelerator at Fermilab to over 800 miles underground.

This technology is, to use an overused term, the Manhattan Project of the 21st century.
I think they mean they’re waiting for the EPA to test it themselves. Tesla conducts and self-certifies their own tests, and to my knowledge the EPA has never tested one in their own lab.
The HVAC losses are much less in the Model Y due to the heat pump / octovalve, something I wish they'd update the new from the factory Model 3s with. Sandy Munroe did a full Model Y teardown and has a whole segment on how this simple invention is brilliant as it increases real-world range.

Edit: mentioned the octovalve, which has no equivalent in any existing EV (i3, taycan, and leaf included).
Then what, pray tell, are you suggesting?
Fuel cells are pretty cool. My friend has the Toyota one. They're pretty good in CA but have a ways to go before practicality. I believe you can only lease them ATM because they cost about 400k. They're definitely a viable tech though!

I'll also say that part of the Tesla ecosystem is the self-driving and performance, not just earth friendly.

Also you compared an SUV to a Sedan which is supposed to be flat as a pancake. lol. A better comparison would be the model Y.
I love pneumatic logic! I’ve gone to sleep many nights thinking about pneumatic logic gates, and they are still used today on pneumatic equipment powered by wind, like a lot of pipe organs in Europe made in the 1800’s where there was no electricity to turn on and off the pipes.

Here’s an example of such apparatus: https://www.woodofhuddersfield.com/uploads/1/1/2/3/11238427/...
Nice work!

A passphrase, as opposed to a password, has spaces between each word.

If you added those it would be easier to read, especially for mobile, if you used a multiline textarea, because the generated content isn’t fully readable at a glance. (Or don’t use a form input field at all — just put the passphrase in a div so the word breaks flow normally.)
Bad memories there. Programmers would stuff crap in the high 8 bits of the pointers. Not so good once running on 32 bits!

Yes, because the number of illegal immigrants is less than the number of legal immigrants which is less than the total population.

Well, it sounds so weird but intriguing. Do you mind telling the rest of the story?
Other EVs have been using heat pumps for years, like the i3 and LEAF. I don’t know why they didn’t go with it for the 3, or retrofit it to the S and X.

Not really a database - but Parallax[0] is a data warehouse geared at private/sensitive data written in Rust - it allows you to perform data anonymisation at query-time.

Furthermore it exposes a privacy-as-code framework allowing you to version control and be very granular about how different entities interact with your datasets.

Office has become way way slower, I would mostly put it down to that. Lean applications can still start pretty fast. One other thing making it slower is antivirus software scanning every binary you run before it opens, including Defender. Turning off Defender is a reliable way to improve app load times.
I am not "foisting responsibility". There are fallbacks and fail safes in place to mitigate such issues but that's not my point. My point is that they sell us a dream of infinite scaling, all managed and no more problems, which just isn't the case. I know, it's naive to believe that in the first place but the marketing certainly goes into that direction and some proponents spin this story all the time. Would the alternative be better? Most certainly not, but it's still a question worth asking from time to time considering the extra money spent.

Another bonus of having an EV is charging in your own home. You end up with a full tank every night.
This was a great read. I think what's going to be interesting to observe after the dust settles is events are going to be online by-default.

Not necessarily as insurance against a global pandemic, but rather due to the expansive reach that many event organizers are realizing.

I don't think offline events are going away, but (as the author alludes to) the incentives to attend online vs offline events are different; therefore it won't be a 1:1 experience. I don't think anyone in the event/event technology space actually figured out the secret formula to provide a great online AND offline experience for both the event organizer & attendees/vendors, but once someone does I think there's great opportunity to capture.

Yeah, at scale i feel the individual who insists on nuance and plurality in policy is sacrificed for the sake of the larger masses who are willing to take on more tribalistic positions.

I don't think this is so far from today's reality. How often have you disagreed with positions from either side of the aisle but found yourself powerless to achieve political expression.

Perhaps this us too defeatist. So i commend the author for trying.
Sounds like they have the mix of estimated speeds wrong. EVs perform significantly better at low speeds, because there’s no extra efficiency in the EV power train at higher RPMs, and air resistance scales in a nonlinear fashion.
xp ran under 64 and 128 too. But with 128 was a bit slow.
Yeah, Amazon's operating income margin is about 15-20% before R&D expenses.

To GP's point though, there is only so much market capacity for Amazon's growth so there will be a point that investors think that Amazon would best be using it's cash somewhere else, including dividends. It happened to Apple and it can happen to Amazon.

Not one like this. The Model 3 "superbottle" was the best in the industry for the problem they were trying to solve with it. The Model Y "octovalve" heat pump is the successor and does things even better (and it is patented FYI).

Wow, they are doing brake blending now? I'd be interested to know how good their implementation is. I always assumed they refused to do it because it's so damn hard to perfect.
There's always a lot of folks claiming to get equal to or better than the rated range on the highway, but I will add my anecdata in for however much it's worth. I have a Model 3 Performance and it does not get anywhere near rated range, regardless of weather. I more realistically get 200 miles of range, not 300.
I was OK with Windows 7. So was most of corporate America.
That's when they finally got the thing pretty much debugged. Between the Static Driver Verifier and the classifier for panic dumps sent to Microsoft HQ, they were finally able to get the kernel to crash very rarely.

Microsoft had to apply heavy pressure to get companies and individuals to upgrade to Windows 10. It was "an offer you can't refuse", not an improved product. That's different from previous versions, where there was real forward progress.

Yes, "as a Service", and with built-in spyware, er, "telemetry".
I'm surprised Tesla fans haven't crowd sourced accurate data by now.
He was Muslim, not Jat or Rajput as far as I know (and yes I know you can both but he didn’t have any sort of obvious last name like Rathore or whatever) I don’t think he owned any land there. Hence the upgrade. I think he imported itar at one point but mostly ran small tuck shop. I think his cousins might have owned land near Batala but after 47 they lost it and went to PK. He did buy the land he built his house on in Cleveland though.
It is absolutely a criminal violation. Also there are 2 different acts: the crossing of the border (which even a US citizen can be charged for crossing illegally) and being in the country without permission.

Also misdemeanors are still considered serious crimes. I don't get where this hand-waving "because it's just a misdemeanor" comes from.
The article says "In preventative healthcare this model is flipped on its head, the entire population becomes a potential customer base. While there is no ceiling to the number of available customers – this model faces the challenge of converting customers on a want-basis rather than a need-basis. The more proactive the preventative tool requires the consumer to be, the harder it is to scale. For this reason, industry players that are able to provide ease of use will be best placed to transform preventative health from a latent desire into a baseline habit, for a larger customer pool."

In fact a move to preventative is mostly the business of habits, i had a non branded sport watch and switched to apple watch recently. Tracking metrics became like a sport in and of itself - especially during runs. I'd be more interested to see how these wearables transition from heavily leaning into the exercise related metrics into even more health functions - what are the possibilities with that?
Just saw this. Fascinating.
In my experience: I manage to roughly match the EPA rating on the freeway driving at 65mph (it depends on the road, on the temperature, on how much stuff/people are in the car, etc.), but it goes down quickly as you drive faster. This table illustrates it fairly well: https://teslike.com/

Right, they choose to do it on top of a Google-run service they don’t pay for. According to you, this shouldn’t be happening.
I don't know if the Librem5 goes beyond what the PinePhone is purported to do here:

"The LTE modem on the PinePhone is a ‘black box’, and runs its own Linux system internally. This includes all the proprietary modules (blobs) needed to run the actual cellular radios. However, this system is almost entirely isolated from the main system running on the A64 SoC. The only data contacts between A64 and modem are USB connection for data and I2S connection for audio. All data going in or out of the modem must go over these connections.

There is no RAM or flash storage shared between the systems. In short, unless you explicitly send data to the modem, it is never in contact with the blobs running inside it. The modem cannot send any data to the phone unless phone is willing to receive it (that’s the basics of USB)." [0]

That's in addition to the kill switches.

There might be other blobby aspects of the SoC/peripheral support story that the Librem5 gets better than the PinePhone, I haven't dug deep there.

That is a lot of Chinese steel, at what looks to be about 25% of the total worldwide production, just by the companies listed in the top 41. It looks like possibly a majority of worldwide production isn't in this list (which seems to gut off at less than 10 million tonnes), so it's possible it's even higher, if there's a lot of small steel companies based in China as well.
Just thinking about npm makes me feel really ill.

So now that we'll soon be moving back to opaque binary blobs with WASM, what exactly have we gained?

I know browsers have appeared to make enormous technical progress with all the new features - until you read stuff like this and realize most of it was already possible 20 years ago via Flash (Type-safe javascript as well, btw) - and partially in better quality and with less programming knowledge required than now.

So did we eventually come full circle?
If the TLS client isn't a webbrowser, it doesn't have to use the list of trusted roots provided by the underlying system (be it OS or browser).

Certificate Pinning is the solution you'd look to if you have a clients that cannot securely ship with root certificates/cannot pick the root certificates they will use to validate a certificate when initiating a TLS connection.

Edit: I should add that I am not a mobile developer, so I don't actually know if the 'bring your own root CA' method is supported by the corresponding TLS libraries. But I know that this is possible 'in general'
Competing on price never pays off imho. You’ll race to the bottom. Amazon already has a massive monopoly on retail, and they wouldn’t dare mess with the prices.

Some exclusions may apply. May not be available at a retailer near you.

(you can patch a tire with a quarter inch puncture as long as that puncture is further than 16 inches away from a previous repair, on a 'square' landing of the tire away from the gradual shoulder or side-wall, and the puncture must not have resulted in an internal or external layer delamination)

And those exclusions aren't considering exotic tire compounds, treads, models, or run-flat styles.

P.S. Most economy-oriented MPG-centric hybrid-car tires have a far-less square design, meaning more shoulder , meaning less repairable area. This is in order to reduce road tire-patch in the interest of reducing rolling resistance. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla is adopting something similar.
This is the kind of stuff I find baffling. We killed off Flash, celebrated, and said that xyz will do the same thing as Flash did. Several years later xyz does not do what Flash did. We don't even have all the pieces to put the puzzle together, let alone have them come in one package.
