As a practical matter this is reinforced as well by the need to still carry a driver's license. In principle the government could offer a secure digital ID, but it doesn't. Phone payment also isn't at 100%, so a backup credit card also still a good idea.

So it's necessary to have the ability to have a card on hand anyway, and at that point it's not much of a stretch to have a couple. Either via a phone case or whole wallet, but it's not like someone can (legally) just take their phone with them when going for a drive. Keeping the keycard along with license and credit card is still fairly minimal (phone digital wallet can consolidate a lot of fat card packs beyond those).

I guess the bigger risk is that while I always at least take my wallet with me in the car, I don't always take it with me out of my car while I always have my phone. Might be nice if Tesla had at least an option for some sort of fallback auth mechanism built into the car itself, be it keypad or biometric. The ones in phones are pretty good and are a pretty tiny item on the BOM, in a $35k+ vehicle seems like there should be room for it as an option?

Maybe that's overthinking it though, not like regular cars tend to have those either. Sometimes people just lock themselves out with regular keys too and that's that.
"Terraform Earth" is a great slogan for a 'bright green' viridian approach to our interlocking ecological crises.

We're already doing it, after all. But we don't think about it in those terms, and we aren't getting the kind of results which we might, if we did.

What you're proposing we can call silviforming, and it's a good idea. We spend too much energy making Earth more like Mars (dry and barren) or like Venus (a roiling greenhouse of carbon dioxide inimical to life); let's make Earth more like Earth instead.

Private organizations have zero obligation to be fair and impartial. If you want a company to be run differently, start your own.

It's funny how conservatives were totally on board with deregulation and perfectly fine with corporations steamrolling every one else as long as they were aligned with conservative objectives. Then the moment a powerful corporate faction with liberal-ish sensibilities emerges, they freak out and abandon all their fake principles and run crying to the nanny state to save them from the big evil corporations.

> Really? Technical subjects tend to be some of the worst on wikipedia. Articles on say undergrad math topics tend to be very poor introductions to a topic.

True, that's why I said very technical. The ones on advanced math are pretty good (for example, technical logic/metalogic articles have impressed me). The ones on undergrad math tend to be edited by.. undergrads ;)
Oh tons of ways. The fact that the default search engine is Google is the obvious one, but GSuite is huge for Google - they're competing directly with Dropbox, O365, etc. and GSuite heavily integrates with Chrome.

ChromeOS of course puts them in the OS market, and it's doing very well for a niche operating system - my entire company runs on ChromeOS in fact.
I'm so frustrated that they (and IBM as the previous manufacturer of ThinkPads) didn't officially offer any laptops with no OS, or with Linux, most of the time for the past two decades in the U.S. Sometimes they did in other countries or for large corporate purchases, but not for individual purchases.

I'm sure IBM and Lenovo both knew how popular ThinkPads are with Linux users.

> I said it was pronounced with an English accent,

Cachet is an english word in this context, so how could the English pronunciation be incorrect?

> "è" (or "et" in French) is pronounced /ɛ/. Wikipedia will confirm that this is indeed the same sound as in "best"

Yep.

> "é" is not the same sound. It's pronounced /e/ like in "fiancée"

Also yep. Nobody is disputing you on those.

The problem is when you're saying that the english pronunciation for an english word is
incorrect." It can't be. Cachet, in this context, is an english word and this is the english pronunciation.
GCP is pretty easy for simple stuff -- I had good luck just w/Firebase for auth and simple back-end. The Azure learning curve seems to be steady, while AWS at least to me has more (initial and subsequent) hurtles to overcome.

like I said, I love Vim. If we could change every other editor to be like Vim, then the world would be a better place.

But we can't, and my muscle memory isn't refined enough to hit "ciw" in Vim to edit the current word, and not in any other editor. Especially web input controls, that tend to react badly to hitting ESC halfway through an edit :(

I'm surprised people are surprised by this, speaking as an annual donator. The "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." implies it to me.

That's almost entirely what makes Wikipedia what it is, the idea that it's community maintained by volunteer contributors. If it's compensated, it completely changes the contribution culture and the identity of the site at the core. It still needs a legal team, professional staff, payroll, etc, too. I know they have other projects and that's fine by me, even if they don't succeed.

I've sent DaaS 1.0 to lots of people, and tell them when you read it EVERYTHING is going to seem obvious to you. At the end ask yourself how many of those "obvious" things could you have articulated before reading. People who are honest will say they didn't know most of the main points before reading.

Working in an internal startup at a fortune 50 company, DaaS is a very good guide for me to the points that we're not quite getting right.

I was once given a device called the 'Edinburgh Masker', it was a set of headphones and a throat mike (I looked like a ww2 bomber pilot..) and it played a tone when you got stuck on a word. It was very weird, but quite interesting, as the tone would be so distracting that you forgot about the block or the repeated sound!
You are right, toomuchtodo, that anyone can edit Wikipedia. If you want to see "quality work regardless of who is doing it" then it would pay to look deeper into the dynamics of gender.

Why?

Male editing culture tends to work differently to female editing culture.

How?

One tends to be hierarchical. The other tends to be cooperative.

It's possible to develop a system that uses both of these modes to sharpen the editorial process, but that doesn't happen through self organisation when the starting point is a large gender imbalance.

Resolving this conflict is one of the biggest challenges faced by Wikipedia.

The difficulty is, however, that WMF isn't directly involved with Wikipedia content, which comes from the community. WMF is just a software company responsible for the tools the community uses for publishing.

> "cachet" (phonetically "cachè")

Do you understand? This is the statement that we're saying is incorrect. The english word cachet is not pronounced phonetically "cachè" in english. There is another word, cachet, in french. It is not the same word. It does not mean the same thing. It has a common etymology, but that doesn't make you the authority on its pronunciation.

You are trying to argue with an American how an English word since the 1600s is pronounced!
"Cheaper than Tesla" does not make "affordable" by any means. This author is out of touch.

> But VW says it’s really taking aim at a market segment that’s currently dominated by gas-powered vehicles, namely the compact SUV market that includes heavy hitters like the Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, and Nissan Rogue. “There is no electric car in this market,” Keogh said.

That's a market that starts $10k lower than their post-credit price, and those credits aren't perpetual.

> There are plenty of affordable EVs for sale today, including the Tesla Model 3, Nissan Leaf, Chevy Bolt, and VW’s own e-Golf.

Again, the author uses that word, "affordable", to describe a $35k vehicle.
The license is exclusive (1). I think of a GPT-4 is planned and about a year out so I don't know if Microsoft's license will apply to future GPT-X models. For GPT-3 though, it seems like they were offered enough money and didn't want to deal with the hassle of supporting customers or their mission.

I don't recall being told that during my test drive or during delivery, but even if they didn't, it seemed like a no-brainer thing to do.

A lost, broken, or dead phone is a common failure case. If you know your phone is your key, then you should be considering what your backup will be. Since you already need to be carrying something with your license, it makes sense to keep a key card with it.
With it being open source now, someone may be able to write a new asset loader using either GLB or UDZ and convert any FBX assets to one of those formats.
I've been in poorly-made non-Teslas before as well. But it happens rarely, since most consumers wouldn't accept cars with the fit and finish issues that Tesla owners ignore for the first few months of ownership. After a few months, even the most die-hard Tesla owners I know constantly complain about all the "small" issues that everyone else would have rejected a car for at the lot.

I've only been in a properly made Tesla once. And they don't make Teslas that way any more (entirely by hand).

Some BMWs do look and feel like KIAs on the inside, especially their lower-end "beginner" luxury models. (That's not a knock on KIA, they deliberately target the low-end market but make up for it with relatively durable cars.)

I took a OS class with Xv6. As a Linux kernel dev I can tell you Xv6 is great for teaching OS than Linux.

1. I remember the first assignment if the class was adding a new syscall. It was quite trivial task for Xv6 because Xv6 syscall layers is thin and it implements only < 30 simple syscalls. Imagine you are going to add a Linux syscall out of > 300 syscalls.

2. Production grade kernels like Linux is very hard to read for students because they support additional configurations which, for example, are wrapped by a lot of #ifdef macros. Also there are overwhelming number of Arch/hardware support that are not needed for teaching.

They couldn't keep on all the developers they fired, but they could keep some of them. On top of that, the optics of the situation aren't good for the company brand. Increasing executive pay while firing productive workers, particularly at a non-profit, seems generally frowned upon.

Fun content, but anywhere past Act 2 was dramatically overtuned. Ultimately you don't want the only reasonable path to be cheese strats.
Tesla barely markets anything. They don't do any advertising so their only real informational marketing is what is on their website and what you hear directly from Tesla employees including Musk (who often speaks out of his ass). Tesla would probably be better served to have a more defined and clearer marketing message. That would certainly help avoid the controversy about how Autopilot is or is not marketed.
"Massively marketed"? Compared to what? C#? Java?

I remember what Sun did with Java back in the day. No, I do not agree that Go has been massively marketed.

I will admit, however, that Go was created and supported by Google, and that mattered. It mattered, not in the publicity, but in the tools and libraries (and maybe even in the tutorials).
It's really TSMC doing the advancing and AMD (and pretty much everyone else in the world aside from Samsung) just along for the ride!

I just started reading more about the real differences between intel 14nm and TSMC 7 and found this article comparing the actual sizes of the transistors.

Interesting how similar they actually are, though TSMC 7nm clearly smaller. Not by as much as the numbers would suggest.

From reading the title, I thought this game was being open sourced: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amnesia_(video_game)

The first couple Penumbra games were the same way. You knew there were monsters about, but mostly you crept around and if you heard them the only sane strategy was to run like hell.

Diablo 3's hardest difficulty at launch was a nightmare. You had to move around with Ninja Gaiden/Dark Souls-level precision in a game engine that just was _not_ designed to give you that much precise control

So often I'd be trying to run out of something, accidentally click a monster instead of a patch of open ground, and my guy would stop to turn around and shoot. It was horrible
