> Battery EV trucks have had range limits of measured in single-digit kilometers.

I don't believe you. Find me an EV truck that any company has fielded in the past 20 years that has less than 10km range.

Also you're comparing a prototype to a mature technology. One might as well note that early automobiles had less range, lower speed, worse reliability, and higher cost than horses. And unlike horses, automobiles require infrastructure such as roads and gasoline stations. All of those things were true at the time, but horses couldn't be improved upon and automobiles could. Now we're in the same position with respect to gas vehicles vs electric vehicles.

Battery technology is improving at an impressive rate. Energy density has doubled since 2010. Price per kilowatt-hour is 1/9th what it was a decade ago.[1][2] These advances have made EVs competitive on the ground. It's quite likely that improvements will continue and EVs will become competitive in the air. EVs have lower refueling costs, lower maintenance costs, and are simpler designs (making them cheaper and safer). We already have battery-powered commercial drones. Human flight is more conservative when it comes to adopting new technologies, so it'll probably take longer for EV planes to become widespread. But long term? I would bet on EV planes replacing regional jets.

> Can’t we have both? Do you have to be singularly focused on writing software to work in this field? I think we can have people who think of this as a career and people who are obsessed and they can work did by side.

I don't think so, it can really effect the nature of a team. I remember when we had a vegetarian join our team and it really ruined steak sandwich Friday. You either lose the tradition, or they come and feel awkward, or you lose having the whole team there. Things like that can really mess with the vibe of a place. For the record, I thought very highly of the vegatarian... but I definitely liked the sandwhiches more.

So if you have people that aren't as passionate you won't be able to use newer techniques or newer technologies and other perks of highly a highly skilled team.

I've found that I prefer LG products over Samsung. I've had a number of LG phones and monitors that get down to business without too many bells, whistles, and other extras of questionable value. Samsung phones tend to be more 'customized'. I don't have specific/recent experience with either brands' TVs but seems to be in line with expectations.

> Why not have a small group of high-quality friends, instead of a large pool of low-quality friends?

You can and should. Although at a certain point the benefit of being connected to those people via social media as opposed to say, a group chat via text message or an app like Discord/Slack, diminishes greatly. I think that's the paradox of social media: the only thing it does well that alternatives don't is connecting you to lots and lots of people, many of whom you barely or don't know at all, but the quality of the experience degrades with the number of people you are connected to and the weakness of your connection to them.

None of our monitors are connected to the Internet. We use them as dumb hdmi displays and that's it, for this and a lot of other reasons. On a side note, I'm just generally growing very dissatisfied with Samsung's business practices, and we've been pretty good customers of theirs. We have a Samsung fridge, and Samsung washer/dryer combo (all three of which are excellent products tbh). I'm on my fourth or fifth Samsung phone, but after several years of them trying to shove Bixby down my gullet along with a bunch of other stuff I don't want I think it will be my last.

>Why did people in the US have no ability to speak? Or have less ability than those in some other country?

because US public discourse has been, in the past, dominated by elites. Politics was largely the domain of the upper middle-class, politicians were largely homogenous demographically drawn from top-tier universities, the media recruited from similar institutions, and so on. So you have a significantly narrower spectrum in what is considered 'political debate' than what is actually present in the population, and the people who are doing the debating are largely shielded in their personal life from consequences because it's a sort of intellectual exercise and filling op-ed pages, not a matter of life and safety. That's what created the idea of 'free' debate, but rather it's insular debate. Culture in the US was predominantly created top-down.

Social media kind of blew this wide open in all directions. You see this take alot these days that Americans 'used to live in the same reality' and now don't, and it's the fault of liberals, conservatives, the media, postmodernism or whatever else. But really what's happening is that Americans never lived in the same reality, but finally middle America, and black lives matter, and metoo get to actually speak up. And that's going to cause much more heat than a bunch of harvard grads in a debate club, because now the people who actually have skin in the game are part of the discussion rather than just the subject of it.

How to test for Covid-19 efficiently
It depends on your goals for your book; are you trying to make money, to be known in the domain, etc... ?

For me, I was working on a wine-related software project but I had all of these notes that I had accumulated over the years and I felt like they needed to be better organized.
My original plan was to write a series of blog posts, but I ended up self-publishing the book on Amazon (under the title Essential French Wine) and it's had a modest success (but quite unexpected since I didn't put any effort into marketing it).

So if you are just trying to write a book just go and do that, don't waste time on other things...

On the other hand if you are trying to know good strategies for book marketing or to get published, I don't think writing should be your primary concern but rather getting yourself known (building an audience) and that depends very much on where your audience hangs out.
> consumer harm is the bedrock standard for antitrust litigation in the US.

Which is really dangerous, IMHO, because a lot of the most vile bits of monopoly power can happen without directly causing immediate consumer harm.

You shouldn't need to prove consumer harm to win antitrust litigation. That should be just one of a few different harms, any one of which should be able to win antitrust litigation.

> OT involves logic on the server

Why? What my app is doing is quite simple:

1. Every time the user changes something it writes the change to a journal and

2. executes the change on a local cache (to update the UI).

3. Then it starts a background sync by fetching the latest version from the server

4. executes the change on the fresh data from the server

5. uploads the transformed data with an etag to avoid overwriting parallel changes from other clients and

6. removes the change from the journal (and updates the local cache) if everything worked just fine.

So you could argue that using the etag is some kind of logic, but I think that is not what you mean with 'involves logic on the server'.

This implementation certainly doesn't work for all use-cases (e.g. high throughput/low latency), but given that it enables even offline-scenarios, I think it isn't that bad either.

Hard to say with modern diesels but I am sure it does contribute to the cost benefit, DPF filters will need more regeneration (and fuel use) if the exhaust temps are not high enough which is typical of diesel used for short trips vs longer highway trips.
The Post Office can’t tell you if the recipient opened your letter—just that they received it. (And I don’t think we would want the Post Office to know which letters you read and which you junk, either!)

So your old process of checking the email server logs seems more analogous to Post Office tracking to me. Would it be possible to automate that?

In my years as a dev I haven't found many true dependencies on Bash/Zsh. For Ruby, rbenv and other solutions worked. For Python, there was virtualfish to make virtualenvs work properly.

That being said, I don't go and convert the shell of all my AWS instances to Fish. I just keep my local shell as Fish.
I guess the difference here is that it's not the projects that are a problem, but the people out there. And my main portfolio would still be empty so maybe the answer here is to just suck it up and work on additional things outside all of these communities.

I think a simple Youtube-dl + web based front end that can run on a Raspberry Pi would be a great way to help lots of people bypass YouTube.com/apps, make it as simple as PiHole for users to get going.

> Good open rate data gathering results in you not knowing that it's being tracked

At some level you know that people react badly when they know they're being tracked, so it's important to help ensure they are not aware of the tracking.

> Having said all of this: of course I don't allow images to display by default on my email provider. But I'm privacy minded and most people aren't. Which is fine, the world is diverse and that's a good thing. I love choice.

You don't like being tracked. You make a living tracking others, or helping others to do so. You think it's important to not let people discover that they're being tracked. Then you rationalize it as people making the "choice" to be tracked.

There may be an internally consistent case to be made that this is above board and ethical, but you haven't made it.

I made up an example, and I requested that you make up examples that make the point clearer. If you feel that the example is unrealistic, you can simply provide another one.

In this case, if you have, in my example, Person A change his view to be "I will vote for Trump" and retain the rest mutatis mutandis then I'll gladly retain my view that I want all of that to be allowed.

In fact, I think we might be on precisely opposite sides in the fight for liberty if you want to stop people from having opinions just because they are not the only people to have that opinion. One person is free to state an opinion. Any n people are free to associate. Any n people are free to state the opinion together.

And you're going to have to clarify what a 'mob' is and what an 'attack' is. If five thousand people say "I won't buy this product unless you fire that guy", I think that's an okay 'mob' and an okay 'attack' because those five thousand people have the freedom to associate with each other and the freedom to choose not to associate with 'that guy'. It is morally wrong (repugnant, even) to force them to buy the product when they don't want to. If a single person hurts you for saying anything then that's a non-okay 'mob' and a non-okay 'attack'.

> This isn't racial discrimination or racism or white supremacy

Definitionally, "a system that gives white people a structural advantage based on what color they were born" is a system of white supremacy, even if the system could be tilted to be a black supremacy or hispanic supremacy system if the initial conditions were different.

There's what the system could do (in another historical timeline) vs. what it is doing.
> Trans people aren't trying to tell cis people that their physical bodies aren't allowed to matter to them

I feel like they are.

Specifically, if you believe that "feeling like" a gender makes you that gender, then it seems to me that logically you have to believe one of the following:

(1) That having the physiology associated with a given gender is not sufficient to count as a gender.

This invalidates the identity of people like me who don't experience the "gender feeling" that trans people (and some cis people) talk about, and therefore base their identity as a man/woman on their physicality.

OR

(2) That gender categories are "open" where for example either feeling like a man OR having "male" physiology makes you a man.

But that seems to make the whole concept of gender pointless because people with penises don't share anything in common with people who feel like men (that they don't also share with people who feel like women and people with vaginas) unless they happen to be people who fall into both categories. It also makes it impossible for someone express that they have one of those things but not the other because there is only one label "man/woman" to describe two distinct phenomena.

---

If you have a suggestion for how someone like me who has male physiology but doesn't have a "feeling of being a man" (or any other gender) can represent themselves in a system where there is only a single gender identifier and making sub-distinctions is frowned upon (because "trans (wo)men are (wo)men") then I'm all ears.
