I’m completely unenthusiastic about this truck. It gets 23mpg. My current truck gets 21, the one before that, 20, and the one before that 21.

They’re all 1500/150 >5L V8’s. The one with the best fuel economy had a carburetor. I would have bought a smaller engine, but the dealers don’t carry them (so they’re much more expensive after incentives) or a ecodiesel, but the EPA completely banned them from sale (dieselgate) the last year I bought a truck.

If the current truck died tomorrow, I might buy this truck for the generator, but the fuel economy is embarrassing. It probably doesn’t offset the embodied carbon of the batteries.

Other than that, screw Detroit. The cybertruck cannot arrive soon enough.
I've recently swiched to using Links on the linux framebuffer as my primary browser. No javascript and a very fast HTML parser and graphics driver and I've been blown away at how much time I now save never waiting on a page load.

> In Canada a Class A brand new can be $400k+. A 10 year old Class A at 25% of the price is still a $100k vehicle.

Yes, they can also be $125k. Your AirBNB option can also cost $4,000/night. Picking a price toward the top of the line does not make for a good argument.

And yes, mileage is not great, but it’s not as bad as a tank - a Class A diesel can easily get 8-9 MPG without trying, and a bit of care can get you to see 10-12.
SF already has a fairly high sales tax (~9%), so I doubt they could raise it anymore (I'm considering sales tax and VAT to be the same for this discussion, since they lead to the same revenue for the government, and same cost for the consumer).

I think VAT/sales tax is bad in other ways, since it's a regressive tax (the poor spend more of their income/wealth on consumption vs. the rich), and it also reduces transactions being made, which just creates dead weight loss. Our goal should be to keep money moving around, not add barriers to new transactions.

If I had to pick, I think I'd prefer the gross receipts tax, but I haven't studied the underlying economics to come to a conclusion on which is better/worse.
Makes me think we should pronounce emigration ee-mah-gration.

When I read this as you put it . It comes to me something we tend to forget that surveillance is a form of attack on a person's freedom obviously. The fact of it presence is already an insult actually.
> In fact, most modern vehicles use touchscreens to solve the very problem that you are supposedly concerned about. Rather than a complicated cockpit full of individual buttons and switches to control every single function, most modern cars have a few easy-to-find buttons and switches for functions you might want to access while driving (i.e. radio volume, climate temperature, fan speed), and use the touchscreen to hide all the more complicated and lesser-used settings out of the way!

How do you interact with a touchscreen responsibly while driving? You can’t.
> The only reason these people weren't tried and executed for treason is because the Union saw fit to offer generous terms in order to end the conflict quicker and save lives.

On the other hand, they were (at least those vary many who had sworn oaths to the federal Constitution that were broken in rebellion) permanently barred by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution (not coincidentally the same one that expressly imposed due process and equal protection constraints on the States) from public service, federal or state, unless rehabilitated by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress. It seems silly to honor and celebrate people whose acts against the country were so extreme as to warrant the creation of such a bar in response.
Google disagrees with you:

> When The Wall Street Journal contacted Google in June, a spokesman at the internet giant, after a few days of digging, provided an update: The mystery shopper is a bot of its own creation. The purpose: making sure the all-in price for the product, including tax and shipping, matches the listing on its Google Shopping platform or in advertisements.

I mean, most of us are just typing and talking. It’s not exactly laying bricks.
> $10/hr is not "okay".

By "okay" I mostly mean "has basic essentials" - namely, food, water, and shelter. It means you ain't homeless and dying of starvation. It means you're surviving. The difference between that and "good" is financial independence - being able to afford to save money, and to afford health insurance (though I'd prefer single-payer), and to afford hobbies or leisure.

And for the record, I believe we all deserve no less than "good". Our country is, after all, founded on the idea that everyone has the inalienable right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", and we shouldn't be satisfied until everyone can exercise those rights. We can't get there, however, unless and until we get to at least "okay".
Surely optimization in a moving vehicle would include a static interface with haptic feedback so you don’t have to navigate any “system”.
I usually say something similar, "Oh? Let me show your browser history and all your text messages to your significant other, your co-workers, and your boss."
You can find ex-military vehicles on eBay for pretty cheap in Europe. The problem is here you will need a C1 or C driving license if the vehicle is over 3500kg (7700lb) so the resale values are quite low. And I don't want to guess how much insurance will be.

Similarly, not familiar with the unit economics when it's sitting on top of S3 / Azure storage. But it's growing really quick so it must be Something.
I think it is cheap to add and it may safe your life so why not?

It is just a matter of raising a limit. On the mechanical side of things each part has a certain lifetime, you can increase it by reducing strain and vice versa. So they probably already know how much the engines can be pushed if you only need a total lifetime of 1h instead of hundreds or hours. They most likely extrapolated that 2% from this.
May be a good argument would be that it's not about 'nothing to hide' it's about your authority to decide wether you wish something to hide or not.
True, but this is not "messing up your competitors A/B test".

Show HN: My Resume
I’d suggest to keep applying and interviewing broadly, but be firm with your boundaries.

If the interview goes in a direction you don’t like, tell them respectfully that you’ve lost interest in the opportunity.

Don’t forget you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. Odds are a crappy and dehumanizing interview process is going to happen at a crappy and dehumanizing company.
>That doesn't make sense. There is no one "White" culture,

There is no one "Black" culture either.

>so when you capitalize the word in the context of United States of America it refers to the KKK et. al., not to mainstream American culture

And yet if you capitalize Black it doesn't mean black supremacists?

Why do you hold different standards to white and black?

>which developed in waves of lots of different cultures (not all of which are European-derived.) E.g. the Irish. Treated like shit when they first got here, now we have St. Patrick's Day parades.

St. Patrick's Day is not specifically an Irish holiday. It is a Christian holiday which is popular amongst Irish.

>And so we have Irish-Americans, Italian-Americans, Chinese-Americans, and so on. They kept their cultures.

There are many blacks who kept their cultures as well. Not all blacks were slaves. Many voluntarily migrated to the US.

>Now when we talk about African-Americans you gotta remember that Africa is a huge continent, not a single nation or culture.

You are contradicting yourself. You said "There is no one "White" culture, so when you capitalize the word in the context of United States of America it refers to the KKK" and yet you also admit there is no single "Black" culture.

>The people who were kidnapped, beaten, chained, subjected to the horrors of the Middle Passage, then treated like subhumans for hundreds of years, they came from many different cultures, they were forcibly prevented from carrying those with them, and so they have formed a new culture, native to the soil of this continent.

Not all blacks living in the US were slaves.

>That's why it's appropriate to capitalize the word "Black" when referring to Black American culture: it's a proper noun.

But there is no single black culture. You yourself said that white should not be capitalized because there isn't a single culture.

>When you speak of "white people" in America, you're generally referring to the whole American mainstream culture, which is neither genetically nor culturally Caucasian exclusively.

When I say white people I mean white people. I don't mean anything else. I don't mean culture. If I meant culture I would say culture.

I have never seen anybody saying anything different than I said. Please provide examples of mainstream people using the the phrase differently.

>The word "White" capitalized as a proper noun refers to a specific complex of "White supremacist" culture.

You haven't proven that.
Of course they do.

I once met someone who was a lawyer who lived in Manhattan and worked in Princeton, NJ so his daily commute was Subway to Grand Central, Train out to NJ, bus to his work.

And look at all the people who live in SF and commute out to the South Bay for work.

Personally I'd never suffer that kind of commute and I live in Manhattan precisely to get my commute to walking distance but to each their own.
Trialware is broken by design anyway. While auto-billing is plain fraud (and is outlawed in some countries like Germany AFAIK), letting people to use a product for free during a single month is pointless - 90% times I install a trial version, forget about it, come back some months later when I have time just to find out I'm not allowed to try it any more because the trial has expired as a month since the installation has passed.
Thor planned to acquire Hymer Europe and NA, but discovered the fraud during due diligence and elected not to acquire the NA business (a lot of which was Roadtrek). Thor/Hymer Europe has formed a new US entity for new products. Most of the high-volume brands are a notch down from there.

I agree about Advanced. A notch down would be Safari Condo’s XL Flex and Leisure Travel Vans.
Exactly. The right response would have been "I'm not even mad, this is amazing!" It's not like Moldova is a powerhouse of industry or anything. Anyone who managed to pull this off deserves a shot at turning it into one.

no, the trope that most people are freeloaders who don't pay taxes needs to end. even the lowest quintile paid an average of 16% of their income in various taxes. for someone making $14K, that 16% ($2200) is a serious cut of their living. for comparison, the upper quintiles pay ~30%. see this chart[0] found in this article[1].

Launched in 2014, its basically a purpose-built SQL cloud data warehouse solution. Its success pivoted among other factors, on its ability to abstract compute power and data storage to create a modular solution that could be made efficient for any data warehousing configuration.

In 2013 AWS augmented its core cloud offering with the introduction of Redshift, a ‘data warehousing as a service’ solution. The Redshift solution bundled compute and storage, reducing the ability to meet individual customer needs to scale either component separately in a cost efficient manner. Not having the option to unbundle compute and storage was inconsistent with the flexible nature that cloud had become known for.

Snowflake’s solution separated storage, compute, and services into separate layers, allowing them to scale independently and achieve greater cost efficiencies. By offering flexibility it was able to better address the requirements of a wider range of customers - who had previously been limited to the more restrictive bundled options, like Redshift.
Open source property tax assessment, admin, and collection software. This space is foundational to the function of local government, but the existing closed-source offerings in this space are expensive, dated, and opaque to the public.

This will never be VC backable because the market is small and each local government has special needs and unique requirements. The cost per customer is high and there's a hard cap on the TAM.
Coach motorhomes are kind of an idiot trap. You're better off with a tow vehicle and fifth wheel. The mileage is better, and you can unhitch and run day trips without having to lift your jacks and unplug everything every single day, then come home and do it all over again every single day. A lot of people end up dragging a car behind their motorhome as a result, when you could just do a fifth wheel and a truck instead and end up with a much easier rig to manage.

The sprinter type campervan setups are a little more practical but obviously trade for space.
That just sounds like Calvinball.

Having worked with a major eCom platform as well, this is exactly the standard case. Both shipping and tax are complex problems which do not have a simple solution for scraping by a search engine.

Shipping is often highly dependent on the location of the buyer and often involves full estimate calls from each carriers APIs (USPS, FedEx, UPS). The only major data point I would focus on is whether the shipping is free or flat rate.

Tax is even more complicated. Merchants often outsource tax calculations to a third-party service such as Avalara, which calculates unbelievably complex taxing schemes even down to the zip code, as tax laws are becoming increasingly more complex.

Because of these reasons taxes and shipping are not widely useful data points for search engines. That may change in the future, however. I could imagine it becoming another SEO topic to be accounted for, similar to meta tags on product pages.
The last time I had a chat with someone from a FANNG like company, the consensus was that it would not be unreasonable to be grinding algo/leetcode for 6 months to ace that FAANG interview.

However, my personal experience with a tech interviewer at FAANG is that the technical interview holds the same weight as other non-technical rounds (not sure if he's BSing me) and for good reasons. He is aware how broken coding interviews are but to be fair to FAANGs, they don't have a shortage of good applicants. The only way they can sieve/filter fast enough is as such. He is also acutely aware there are good engineers that they may lose simply because they can't perform during live coding but it's a trade-off atm. There just isn't a perfect solution. And he also reminded me that there are many applicants who didn't make it at first try only to succeed on Nth attempt. They don't discriminate applicants who retry and generally see it as a positive trait (grit and interest in company).

On this note, you'll have to ask yourself if investing 6 months to a year is worth the effort of acing only 1 part of the interview? Also, why FANNG? Introspect. Is it just for the brand on your resume? You ready to be a cog in a giant machine? Or it's genuine interest in their work or you need that paycheck? If so, go for it.

Hello, Jesse here.

I'm looking to work on a team of highly motivated individuals doing innovative and, more importantly, meaningful work. Areas that sound interesting to me are graphics, computer vision, computational geometry, compiler development and genetics/genomics to name a few.

I have experience (10 years) building CRUD APIs for the web in all manner of interpreted languages and frameworks.

I've worked on multiple compilers both for fun and profit, a 3D game engine, memory allocators, parsers, a C++ Windows IDE, IBM mainframes running RPG (.. apparently people still use these ..), both binary and text-based network protocols, lots of CRUD applications both frontend & backend, setup web servers from scratch many times, written C++ node modules .. you get the idea. I'm comfortable writing and deploying code to pretty much anywhere.

I have a diverse skillset that could be valuable to your company if you're looking for someone with a well rounded knowledge of CS, coupled with good understanding of how to write well-working software. I consider myself to be a craftsman, and firmly believe in shipping high quality software. I feel the quality of most software today is _far_ lower than it could be, and make a conscious effort to set a high bar in terms of quality for myself and, to the best of my ability, encourage those around me to do the same.

If you think we could do good work together, please contact me at my email address listed above.

Cheers,
Jesse.
Your point is falling flat because you don't understand the definition of the term you're talking about.

"hate speech" isn't just speech which communicates the speaker's hatred of something.

"hate speech" is "public speech that expresses hate or encourages violence towards a person or group based on something such as race, religion, sex, or sexual orientation".[1]

I'm not talking about inference on a 600B parameter model. GP said they can't do inference on a 32-layer, 2048 neurons-per-layer network. Let's assume every layer is fully connected. So each neuron will have 2048 parameters. So that's 32 * 2048 * 2048 parameters. That's 132MM parameters in 11GB of RAM, or 82 bytes per parameter. If each parameter is 4 bytes (that seems like a lot of precision), plus 4 bytes per calculated value, you're still only using 10% of the GPU's RAM. You should be able to do inference on a batch of 16-20 examples at a time.

Single family home rentals seem to be going the opposite direction. My lease just came up for renewal.

I'm not a fan of the "overland" builds based on LMTV and other medium duty truck chassis platforms. They're really the "worst of both worlds". A tiny RV on a mostly shitty off-road platform that gets horrible mileage. I say mostly shitty because they are huge and not nimble and really not suited for anything worse than a rough dirt road. Way too big for actual long distance off-pavement travel in places like Utah, where the corners are tight and trails are narrow. They also tear the crap out of the dirt roads. I'm not a fan.

I drive a Land Rover Defender 110 and camp in the back of it. If I was looking for something for long-term camping, or to take a family, I would just buy fifth wheel trailer and pull it behind my Ram 2500, where I have a reliable and strong Cummins turbo diesel.
