You're missing two key points, it's electric, and therefore doesn't need gas, and it's new, and therefore doesn't need much maintenance (plus being electrict).

It would be, by far, the cheapest way to own a car, and would be green to boot. Also, I'm not convinced the car is that bad, from the reviews I've read.
Presumably whether it’s man-made or not would be my guess

You are also right driving has never been safer. But you could have said that before airbags or abs or even seatbelts.

and fyi, interstate driving is dangerous:

Please come in Romania, then cry for every Euro you pay in taxes, you will get almost nothing out of it. Please go to UK and wait 3 to 6 months for a doctor appointment. Go in the Netherlands and see how is to be sent home when you have pneumonia because they are busy treating some overdosed drug addicts (real case, happened to a relative). Go to Russia (and I cannot tell more). They are all in Europe.

Convert the PDF of "Dive Into Python 3" by Mark Pilgrim into ePub and look at the resulting mess. First page:

"AreyoualreadyaPythonprogrammer?Didyoureadtheoriginal“DiveIntoPython”?Didyoubuyit on paper?

What happened to the spaces? You will find numbers throughout pages, often in the middle of a page, which are the page numbers from the PDF.

I made a searchable PDF of my W-2 using Abby Fine Reader and tried to convert that to ePub. The end result is a blank page. I created tabular text of my computers: CPU, and GPU, and memory. I saved as PDF and converted it to ePub; the table is gone with one entry per line.

Who is choosing this car:

A. the people who already have a car and want a 2nd for trips to the grocery store,

B. the people who only have a scooter and want to upgrade to something a little safer and weather-friendly,

C. the people who were taking public transportation, but due to the low cost, can now afford this car.

D. teenage students to drive themselves to school....

It seems to me that the low price point may enable a large volume of sales, but for the most part, it will put more vehicles on the roads by pulling people out of public transport and off of scooters.
Alliteration. They wrote "paragon of pulchritude", which to me sounds like smart, dry humor. It works.
I would only consider this if I were retiring from a company which I had an outstanding relationship with management and fellow employees.

The 1950s two weeks is a thing of the past and no longer viable or practical.

A fair number of employers will not even want you to stay through the end of the day - you are no longer to be trusted. Likewise when they can employees, whether for cause or 'cost savings.'

By staying, you also open yourself up to future accusations of sabotage, theft of IP, etc

I'd give 48 hours at most.

It could just be that the developer’s native language happens to be English, reads books, and he/she used a familiar word without thinking twice about it. Because this is, in fact, a fairly common word.
It doesn't say "crypto" currency, it says "any virtual currency". So what do they mean by any virtual currency? ACH direct deposit? Starbucks gift cards? RuneScape gold? Virtual currency is just currency that isn't physical. Bitcoin was not the first virtual currency (nor the first decentralized currency).

They should just remind everyone that cryptocurrency counts as income. No need for a question that has an ambiguous answer. This is going to confuse a lot of people.

I once hired a contractor that showered once a week. He didn't tell me, it was apparent by his body odor that he bathed on Thursdays.

So, while it might be true that medically we don't need to shower so often, socially it is a necessity if we want people around us to be comfortable in close quarters.

I'll stick to my two daily showers with baby soap, thankyouverymuch. Thankfully I live in a place where water is abundant.
Right, it’s for show. There is no disadvantage to letting this run its course through the court system, and then when you don’t like the outcome you just say well “national security” and ban it.

> You need to separate sales from marketing. Sales is a conversation, marketing is a broadcast.

Close, but not quite.

Marketing is the brand, the image, points of differentiation, etc. It's the message.

Advertising is the broadcast. It's how the message is communicated. It's the medium.

Marketing + advertising = prospects and leads.

Sales is the last mile. It takes the results of marketing + advertising (i.e., leads and prospects) and guides those to closing.

Contrary to myth, successful sales is about listening, not talking.

Sales is
I hear what you're saying, but I don't actually think speed limits solve the problem. There are parts of the downtown core in my city that have 30kph speed limits, but cars regularly drive 60kph anyway. The only effective way to lower the speed of drivers in shared spaces would be electronic speed limiting, or (perhaps simultaneously) a transition to low speed vehicles.

The only one of those that requires a large car is six kids (which is pretty rare). Bike racks work great on small cars. Home Depot delivers. I rent a van or truck to move furniture the one time a year I need to do it. Most people who drive a giant SUV absolutely do not need one.

Modern motorcycles have to deal with increasingly stringent european noise regs. Many manufacturers have been discontinuing models to avoid the bother of updating them for compliance. They are all dramatically quiet in stock configuration. The loud ones are modified by their owners or one of the relatively few old machines on the road.

All cars were loud and belching unburned hydrocarbons 40 years ago. Comparing motorcycles to modern cars is missing the gains in street life impact that have actually been made.
Noted Communist Thomas Jefferson proposed it rather before the Communist Manifesto was written (not that he came up with the idea, of course), and some US states and various other places started introducing it from the early 19th century on.

Just because Marx was in favour of something doesn’t necessarily make it inherently socialist.
There are changes in the geological record that are still unexplained, these could be signs of an older civilization.ld

"The Younger Dryas was a period of rapid cooling in the late Pleistocene 12,800 to 11,500 calendar years ago. It followed closely on the heels of a dramatically abrupt warming that brought the last Ice Age to a close (17,500 calendar years ago), lasted for about 1,300 years, then ended as abruptly as it started. The cause of these remarkably sudden climate changes has puzzled geologists and climatologists for decades and despite much effort to find the answer, can still only be considered enigmatic."

Social class defined by economic relations has material consequences that exist between countries and cultures, and the colloquial usage you're referring to[1] is dependent on where you are and who you ask.

To sociologists, economists, and academia, those who rely on a salary or wage to live are considered working class compared to those who don't.

> I can not accept a claim that mathematics is discovered

Why?

Finding out that Pi is irrational and then transcendental are discoveries. I won't be able to make anything work if I fork mathematics to make it rational.

Same thing that finding out that if you tie a string to a stake and then go around keeping it tight, you have to walk a distance that is two times pi times the length of the string to get where you started. I don't need a language for that, just more pieces of string.
EV part is pretty critical, since I'm trying to avoid fossil fuels whenever possible - but what are my options? A fiat 500 starts at $16,500, smartcars were not much less, and are no longer sold in the usa anyway.

> His wife went to get a job at a grocery store, and he told me that he was amazed that the hiring manager could not tell them how much of her pay would go to taxes. The implication being that this sort of thing is easy to figure out in NZ, but impossible in the US because of complexities in the US income tax system.

That's because the hiring manager doesn't need to understand tax rates to do his job. He plugs the numbers into the black-box HR system, and the system spits out dollars, that he pays employees with.

The reason for why you have no idea how much the government will take in taxes, is because income taxes are progressive, and are charged based on total income earned per year.

So, someone working at a $200,000/year job for a year, will have a tax rate of ~26.5% (I'm ignoring Social Security).

But if they were unemployed for 9 months, and started working that job on October 1st, they will have a tax rate of ~16.5%.

What this means is that when you start a job, you have to guess what your likely annual tax rate is going to be, and set up withholding for that amount.

If you underpay by a large enough sum, the IRS will send you a bill, with an extra penalty next April. If you overpay, the IRS will send you a tax return.
I'm not the one you're asking. But... there's many a slip between spec and chip.

That is, creating a spec that says that it includes a POPCOUNT instruction is easier (except perhaps for politics and bureaucracy) than actually implementing one in a chip, going through layout, producing masks, and starting production. Then it takes a while for those chips to work their way through the supply chain to general availability.

How long? I don't know. But I suspect that it's a non-trivial amount of time.

How long until that instruction is available in all chips that are manufactured? Longer.

This. The author presents a different solution which is equally not scalable without automation and suggests you automate his new layer instead of just using ansible to automate handling of ssh keys.
I'd buy one. The safety concerns people raise in this thread are worthy of discussion, but it is at least as safe as a motorcycle(cue the pedantic HN argument in 3..2..1..).
It’s hard to shift your mindset to emotions but by and large that’s what sells, not features. So as others have said it’s all about listening and then finding the pain they have at an emotional level and seeing of your product can solve it. A productivity tool doesn’t sell on ROI calculated by hours saved, but on “freedom” and “self actualisation by doing more meaningful work and less tedious work”
I hoped the article would go into more depth. For example, propagandists store caches of videos and imagery on distributed servers to keep circulating it, and manually or automatically run imagery through filters that distort the image enough to fool computers but are still easily recognizable to humans. In some cases this is done to such a degree that it becomes a kind of in-group aesthetic, a style distinctive enough to be its own signature and obviate the need for attribution.
> There's really not a reason to ship or index logs.

Proper Information Security policy is one very good reason. If a box is compromised, you don't want the logs being tampered with.

You ship the logs to a central, dedicated server so that a clear audit trail can be established.
What’s so difficult to understand about back propagation? All you’re doing is computing a derivative.
Removed from public access != deleted

For all we know, the content still exists on the social media platforms' servers, and access is just blocked to the public, but the platforms will happily provide it to the proper authorities in response to an appropriate request.

(Of course, I can't rule out the possibility they may have physically deleted some of it, or may do so eventually – I don't know what their data retention policies are – but I imagine they would be hesitant to permanently delete content that may plausibly be of future interest to regulators – this article contains zero information on whether they have actually physically deleted any of it or not)

Human Rights Watch is of course a purely private body, so unless they reach some special arrangement with the platforms (and platforms are sometimes willing to enter into those sorts of special arrangements), they are not going to have any more access to removed content than the general public has. But that doesn't mean that government authorities don't have more access than the general public has.
Those links look dodgy as hell, you got any examples that aren't?

Videos are generally made by professional video production companies. You can make your own on the cheap, but they'll generally look cheap.

Honestly, suburban lifestyle is relaxed, enjoyable, and affordable. It's pretty easy to see the appeal in it.

Most people living in suburban areas do not drive for hours every day. In the time it takes me to cross Boston on public transit, I can drive between two suburban metropolitan areas and have access to a huge variety of people, places, and activites.
I would also buy it, but strictly only for city driving where safety concerns aren't nearly as big of a deal.

And yes, it's going to be safer than a motorcycle anywhere outside a highway.

Tesla has lost its way with expensive cars loaded with sensors, launch control. Tesla jumped the shark when Musk mentioned gas rockets as an option. Wasn't the original philosophy of Tesla to give away EV patents to make the world a better place?

I don't need a car or a truck that can go 0 to 60 in 2 seconds. I want safe car with a reasonable range that doesn't cost $100K.
We can afford them for now. If oil prices go up significantly I’ll seriously reconsider my 18MPG suv... but I’ll reconsider to an alternative that can still support my lifestyle (perhaps Tesla truck, or something like RAV4 Prime/Hybrid but larger). Not a mini car that can’t go fast.
It's less clear in informal languages that concepts exist apart from the language to describe them. This is one of the great difficulties in translation; different languages conceptualize the world in different (and sometimes incompatible) ways. For example, Latin has a variety of words for relationships of power that don't convey cleanly into English. The Greek word λόγος also doesn't cleanly render in English. Similarly for much of the Tao Te Ching. To what extent our language shapes our conceptualization of the world is currently an open question, but it seems like it's at least some.

That is the responsibility of system administrators. Application developers have no business on a production machine. If your sysadmins don't have the technical skills to diagnose these problems, they are incompetent and must be replaced.

There were a few programs that I used in the past to write and playback my own tabs.

The main program I used was TuxGuitar [1]. I felt it suited my purposes - I could work out the rhythm and positioning with this program and play files in various formats. The sound quality and features were adequate - sort of a low-fi MIDI sound where different timbres and instruments could be selected. It looks like it may not be a maintained product, but the source is available if you want to tinker with it [2].

Another program that my friends used to use is Power Tab. The original programs look to be abandoned, but it seems that an open-source implementation is actively maintained here. [3]

There is a commercial product called Guitar Pro, but I felt the open-source packages were good enough. Guitar Pro also had an active community (maybe it still does), and many users would contribute their own tabs in Guitar Pro's file format (.gp3, .gp4, etc.) which I would read and edit with TuxGuitar. It used to be pretty easy to find these files available online, but I suspect copyright holders cracked down on these communities much like they did with OLGA.

Good luck living in the state of Georgia or Texas or North Carolina or Florida without a car. I'd imagine a smaller car would be problematic, too.

Edit: I'm being downvoted, but I live / have lived in these places. What gives? Do you have direct knowledge to the contrary?

The ideals of city living are rather myopic when you consider how large the continental US is and how much sprawl most metros have.
Yet China already has these small EVs, and their traffic-related death numbers are abysmal compared to North America. Yes, even when adjusted for population.
I have to agree with the other guy. Going too far into "Don't touch the machine" leads you to ridiculous places. Designing your system to be instrumented is invaluable, and sometimes that means logging on to a machine. Should you minimize this? Yes, but not to the point you invest tens of thousands or more into a way to not use SSH.
Ask HN: How to Discuss Promotion/Payrise?
I came across to this post talking about salary negotiation while taking offers: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24588379

I found the blog post and the discussion enlightening for the offer phase.

I think another difficulty for us engineers is to talk about promotion and pay rises. Do you know any resources discussing how to approach to those discussions? Do you have any tips/insight for those who are reasonably happy with their job but think they could do with career progression or increase in pay more than 1-3%?
You're also forgetting social security, as well as your employer's contribution to medicare and social security (Which is the same as your own). They get deducted from your paycheque (In both Canada, and the US) before you even see it.

Which, for an income of $231,600/year ($11,600 of which get taken off your paycheque before you even see it), adds up to a total of $71,143.

Meanwhile in Ontario, your total tax burden, for an income of $223,750 ($3,754 of which gets taken off your paycheque before you even see it), adds up to... $88,663.

Of course, in California, your employer is also spending ~$20,000/year on your health insurance plan (And is asking you to pitch in ~$6,000).

In Ontario, at that income level the province will bill you... $900/year for a health premium. The rest of your health care costs[1] come out of the regular taxes you pay.

...And if we add all that to the math, you'll discover that the Canadian takes home a bigger portion of their paycheque then their American equivalent.

[1] Okay, I'm also missing vision and dental, which are part of the $20,000/year employer part of your health plan, but are not covered by the province of Ontario. The Canadian would have to pitch in a bit of cash for that.

Interestingly, much of what you describe is present in old mathematical texts. For example, Fibonacci's Liber Abaci is essentially a long succession of story problems. Diophantus's Arithmetic is a succession of concrete problems -- no story -- but it's concrete prior to abstract as you suggest.

Euclid II also develops most of Algebra geometrically, so there's much conversion between shape and symbol baked it. His method of computing the product of binomials is far superior to what's commonly taught.

So there's a good tradition of the thing you're looking for!
