I see ID.3s everywhere. They are more common than any other electric car. They also tends to blend in with other VW vehicles.

>However, I think the weakness in electrification and software makes it clear that there's little true innovation. Legacy automotive turned into a stable market, and participants were happy to fight over pennies

If you sell millions of cars you can hire a whole team of penny pinchers who will then save your business 10s of millions dollars. Every penny pays for a $100k salary.

If anything the semi conductor shortage is causing downstream issues in VW's ability to produce more ID.3s.
Technology improves though. You can expect SpaceX, and maybe BO, to have spent <20B once we get there.

Really, you believe I should have the right to post child porn? Do you believe I should be allowed to post child porn here to HN? After all if dang removes it he is censoring me. If you are truly a free speech absolutist, then before I watch these videos, confirm that you should believe I should be allowed to post child porn free from any sort of moderation.
Let's say that country P's intelligence agency is implicated in helping a terrorist group based in country Q obtain a weapon from the leaky security of country R, which is then detonated in country S but with a smaller yield than expected due to deterioration in R's stockpile maintenance, so that most of the damage is the cost of the radioactive cleanup. Act of war?
The clarion call was "defund the police" not "abolish the police". Some people believe these are are synonymous but IMO most agree "defund" means things like de-militarize and add social workers to deal with things like mental health and quality of life issues instead of sending undertrained people with guns... I'd add "prevent them profiting from things like property seizures".

Compare the two phrases in google trends for example.

brain-plasma: a fast Python dictionary interface to the Plasma shared memory object store (pyarrow project)

https://github.com/russellromney/brain-plasma

I had a speed problem repeatedly loading large dataframes into memory for a Dash project - threads can’t share object updates and Redis gets slow with large objects. So I built brain-plasma. It lets you keep objects in memory, but separate from service memory - no need to read data into memory over and over. Fast access and arbitrary namespaces. It’s not perfect but it works well.
It made you arrive at that conclusion, I suppose.

I 100% agree that constraints can be great fuel for creativity. Innovation is not about examining all possibilities, is about finding the unexplored paths. Sometimes fewer options means you can more easily focus on discovery something new vs exploring what's already out there.
No way that Congress is going to allow that for a multitude of reasons.

I believe it means 'general operations' - Ms Scott's gifts have been unrestricted, with atypically light reporting requirements. Basically, she's trusting the non-profit recipients of her donations to know how to spend their money to accomplish their missions and isn't making them bend over backwards to appease her.

>Indie Books are books published outside of mainstream publishing.

If the books are books for developers, then by now it's clear that they will be sold online. What effect does "mainstream publishing" have on publishing material on the internet? It's the internet. There is 0 meaningful difference if a book has mainstream publishing if both books can easily be listed on Amazon, Ebay, or anywhere else, because it's the internet.

Careful! I would get an MRI which can see if you have a disk bulge or a bone spur. A protruding point does not sound good, but it sounds like something that medicine might possible be useful for for once.
Yes, the goal is that it should be usable in production as well. The limitation it will probably have compared to ELK/Splunk is that since there's only a single recipient node and it uses SQLite for storage, the upper limit to how quickly it can ingest logs will probably be lower compared to ELK/Splunk. So Logsuck may not ever be suitable for large deployments that are logging huge amounts for sustained periods of time.

I haven't really tested what the limits are yet so unfortunately I can't put a concrete number on it, but my vision is that Logsuck should at the very least work for a small-medium sized company with "normal" logging needs.

The current state is that it's got quite a few bugs and is lacking many features you would expect from an ELK/Splunk alternative but the basic concept is working. If what you need is a GUI for grepping across logs spread out on multiple servers it can be used for that today, but it's not doing much beyond that yet.
General operations if I’m presuming jargon. Which I think is the bigger deal with her donations than anything else.

> Treating the members of each party as two different species, as though every voter for a given party has uniform shared interests with all the others. There is no such thing as "Republicans" being over-represented. Pennsylvanians are over-represented, which influences the party platforms of both the Republicans and the Democrats.

For the reasons I've outlined above, Republicans are overrepresented. To reiterate, it takes more Democratic votes to achieve a majority than it does Republican votes. This is a matter of fact.

> The obvious flaw in the party-based analysis being that we're currently going into a legislative session in which the Democrats control the Senate, which they do approximately half of the time.

But Republicans have controlled the Senate even when Democratic Senators have gotten more votes and represent more people. So Democrats are forced to adjust their policies while Republicans are under much less pressure to do so.

> Also, the purpose of the Senate is to be this way, in the same way that Justices of the Supreme Court are not elected.

When the Senate was created, the difference in population between the largest and smallest states was 12x. Today it is 68x. If you still think this is a feature rather than a bug, you and I have fundamentally different ideas about what democracy should be.

This will be my final comment as all those who keep telling me that it's my duty as a liberal to engage in dialog with the other side also seem to downvote my comments to oblivion when I try. Ciao.

Because it is affordable, and more importantly, because it shipped. I'm thankful for the open source work the folks at Purism have put out, but the reality of the situation is that I can drop $800 and wait a few months on a Librem, or I can drop $150 and wait a few weeks on a Pinephone. If I splurge and spend $50 more ($200), I even end up with a Pinephone with more RAM than the Librem.

The only real wins for the Librem are aesthetics (it's pretty), an ever so slightly higher clock speed on the ARM64 cores, and a GPU that is historically better supported by open source software. The final point is of less and less concern every day now that Mali is seeing open source support.
I tried to replace going to the gym by working out at home, invested in some weights etc. But at the end of the day, my motivation to work out at home is much lower.
I wholeheartedly agree with you but there isn't any amount of beer or misuse of standard HTML tags that could fix this. It kind of anti-resonates a lot with the other post currently on the front page "Woo for its own sake". It also shows how the HN crowd is split in two, those who like this kind of stuff and those who don't. For my part and in my day job these are the kind of things that I actively fight against.
As a fun exercise I still appreciate OP's effort for trying out something new, it's always welcomed and I think this forum is all about that. However, I don't agree with the clickbaity title techniques. I hope it doesn't normalize the practice here otherwise I'd throw in some Vodka as well :)

Tesla also said they'd sell a <= $35,000 Model 3. That lasted for only a few months in 2019 before they realized that they were selling the cars under cost... So, I'd take this with a huge grain of salt.

BTW, Nissan and GM are effectively selling the Bolt and LEAF today for around $27,000, although it's not clear if they make any money by doing so.
It would help if compromises would be made in order to further progression of society. Politically, you have to root out the circus part of the current agenda, meant as diversion and confusion tactics.

Oh dear. I suppose you think Boris Johnson got to where he was by his sharp intellect? Or does he also qualify as a diversity hire, on the basis that his family tree is more a family strongly-connected graph?

cold showers are some of my earliest memories as a child. "zakalka", or "tempering", is well known in slavic culture. i can vouch for them being one of the keys to including mood and mental state, immune function, and overall wellness.
I think it's more complicated then that. For example, me and my wife bought a car together, but it's only in my name. Since we're married, it doesn't matter that it be only in my name, we both own it 100/100 based on our marriage contract. So we don't even bother putting everything in each other's name.

I suspect Amazon was a similar afair. They both quit their job and moved city to start and work on Amazon. When the company began, she was working on it with Bezos, both together.

It's possible that they then decided similarly not to bother with adding her name to the company officially, since as they were married that doesn't really matter. In fact, IANAL, but I'd suspect it might be complicated to do so, since by your marriage you already have a contract with one another, and as a contractual business partner you'd have another contract, and I wouldn't be surprised if that gets messy as both contract can easily conflict and the marriage contract has special status.

So I think it's fair to consider her a co-founder, in that she acted as one, took all the same risks, quit her job, moved city, worked on starting the company, put her financials at risk and invested her own money into it, etc. Even though she's not really a co-founder as registered in the company itself.
Marijuana was pivotal to me being able to live a life of daily exercise. I dropped 140lbs and run a daily 8k on trails from being extremely obese in the span of 2 years. If it is legal for you to try it I highly recommend it for its ability to help you push through mental blocks and it's appreciable aid in recovery.
It definitely depends on your domain. For web servers I've found there's little to no overhead for doing it in Rust.

UPDATE/EDIT

And, in other conspiracy news, I am unable to reply to comments below. "You're posting too fast. Please slow down. Thanks." This will probably prevent me from replying for a few hours (last time it was 3 hours). Understandably, people will think I'm flaky and unable to defend my position, where I am happy to have a meaningful interaction and share a different point of view.

Ask yourself, should I be able to say what I have said, in a free society? Did you think HN wasn't part of the problem?
> I don't! I'm just saying that this crazy printing is consistent with the current market.

And every other bull market since Tether was formed, yeah.

> I also tell loud and clear to stay away from them and to any exchange that wants you to be holding this shit. This doesn't mean that I swear off anyone working in crypto as a fraud like Tether.

Tether is 80% of trading volume lol. The water is so murky you could build a hut out of it. There is no market without Tether. Not one that looks anything like you imagine it does. [1]

> Inflation rate is under the target? Oh great, so now all the small business owners will go bankrupt and not be able to afford the things they need at almost the same price they were before, and the rest of the unemployed people can just take their $600 checks to buy a PS5 to kill the time they will be spending at home. Yay, economics!

Ah now I see the issue.

You've conflated fiscal, monetary, foreign and social policy into one abomination. This is your mistake. The Fed only manages the money supply. This is monetary policy. The Fed does this by increasing and decreasing the supply of money and managing interest rates and aims at a target 2% rate of inflation. It has done this incredibly successfully.

Then there's fiscal policy - and by extension social policy. This is government spending on social programs and also on foreign aid. Businesses going bankrupt are being allowed to do so by bad fiscal policy and not bad monetary policy and no amount of crypto will change that. Only you voting will change that.

That's not economics, that's fiscal and social policy. For instance, Canada is centrally banked, and doesn't have the issues you're pointing out because their fiscal policy was to provide everyone $2000 per month during COVID and is now paying small business rents. This is nothing to do with Bitcoin.

And your NGOs and the Sudan. This is both a distraction, whataboutism, and also not monetary policy. This is foreign policy. This is nothing to do with Bitcoin. This would still happen with Bitcoin, of course, but bitcoin also opens up a new avenue on top of making the situation strictly worse.

Please, learn about economics. Take an ECON-101 course. Stop trying to reinvent what you don't understand. I'm sure this is tough to hear because for many folks in the crypto space a whole lot of their identity gets wrapped up in crypto.

> Not every crypto project is a fraud.

No, but most of them are. And the ones that aren't don't solve anything better than a classical solution because trust is a huge optimization.

By all means, continue working on crypto. It's not illegal, its just, you know, not smart. But poor decisions tend not to be criminal!

Do you guys understand that retaliatory use of nuclear weapons is very likely assured even if president says no?

People in underground command bunkers likely have families too, and will act like most normal people.
I don’t think so, but my guess is as bad as anyone else’s.

People have too many family members, coworkers, friends, etc. across country borders. There’s a high cost to cutting your country off from the rest of the internet in any real way. The cost of intercepting / controlling / severing internet communication is high and gets higher as communication volumes get higher, the economy relies more heavy on international communication, and encryption becomes more commonplace.

I do think we’re going to see a lot more geofencing as time goes on.
Ransacking through the capitol like imbeciles was very ill advised, but that’s not how a coup is executed. You need dedicated backers [cause oriented willing to sacrifice] high up in the armed forces as well as the intelligentsia.

Rag tag groups do not execute coups. That’s a willful exaggeration and further evidence of how narratives tilt people’s thinking.

This is the media and social media calling it that -they cannot help it. Are the armed forces classifying as a coup? It’s a ridiculous accusation. More of a coup attempt is the call for impeachment with two weeks left after the previous impeachment failed. It’s honestly sad.

Probably a disk bulge in my opinion, but it hasn't happened in a while now. I think the doctor dismissed it and told me that the disk can only bulge on the opposite side (inward), but I may be misremembering.
I think it was a very concerning and unpredictable situation, but describing this group as "violent rioters" while describing the riots over the summer as "mostly peaceful protests" is farcical gaslighting. The potential consequences were more grave here, but the actual conduct itself seems much more orderly.

But I agree that as the Democrats and social media companies still continue to poke and poke and poke already angry people that the consequences can get worse. I wish someone reasonable would try to de-escalate the situation instead of continuing to add gasoline to the fire with further suppression, insults, and contempt for Trump and his supporters--but Silcion Vally and Democratic leadership can't seem to help themselves and would prefer to further insult and alienate the 74 million people who voted for Trump just 2 months ago.

The US government does fund it, through several channels (most notable probably being the Open Technology Fund), as did Brian Acton for at least $50 million.
Outside medical complications caused by actually getting COVID-19, nobody.

It is perfectly possible to get tons of exercise in your own home or apartment with no specific equipment. With an internet connection and free YouTube videos (dance, body weight training tutorials, et al) it is even pleasant.

People often make a big song and dance about how they "need" that $400 bike or $1500 running machine, or "need" gym access to do anything. This is all a self-induced fiction (although marketers likely deserve blame here too).

There might be limited truth for the top-1% of athletes who require highly regimented training routines; but for the general public nah. COVID didn't make you sedentary, you made you sedentary.

PS - I too don't get enough exercise. I'm not throwing stones here. My point is that I don't blame COVID-19 for my own [bad] choices. I could freely exceed all recommendations if I choose to without stepping foot outside but I don't, and I have to live with that.
Sure, but there are only two choices.
