Yeah, but I would argue that Fox news is seeding that rage and making it mainstream. I guarantee that my grandparents would never ever give even a second thought to a starbucks cup that they will never see in their life and if they did come across would would not get offended on their own, but the second they get fed that story from Fox News, it becomes "holy hell look what them damn liberals are doing to christianity, I'd rather die then vote for them!!".

I think the problem is with our hyper polarized culture, the single Christian from Arizona snowballs into a real movement, because we reflexively and reliably take up our respective corners no matter how absurd.

>In the film, there’s Jeff Bezos on the stage with Hatice. Jamal worked for Jeff Bezos [at the Washington Post, which Bezos owns]. So the same can be said of Amazon.

Mr. Bezos has priorities.

First MSB personally gave the video link to Bezos that installed the malware used to spy him.

Then MSB assassinated employee working for Bezos. Bezos flew into Turkey to meet Hatice and offer support support.

Then MSB taunted Jeff Bezos about his affair weeks before it was made public by the National Enquirer. According to Bezos MSB was involved with the story. (Enquirer denies this).

When the documentary came out, Amazon still refused to stream it. It was not question of money (it would have been for no cost to Amazon) just priorities.

What else MSB has over Bezos?

"I think Alan's idea of OOP was something more fluid, more organic than this."

I've heard a good deal about Alan Kay's dissent of the state of OOP, but I've never seen a concise summary of his vision or the principles that Kay's 'ideal' realization of OOP would adhere to.

Does such a resource exist, written by Kay himself or otherwise? Or do I just need to go play around with Obj C or Smalltalk to really "get it?"
I'd agree that it's a stupid solution. I don't want 80% of humanity to die, particularly since when you do out the math on resource usage and projected population peaks, there's a good chance that everybody could live just fine.

But I've spent a good deal of time studying game theory and situations where the behavior of the whole is significantly dumber than the behavior of each individual actor, because the individual actors' interests are not aligned. I think global warming is going to be one of those. Sure, if we could come to a rational collective-action agreement, we could solve it. The history of collective-action as a solution is pretty dismal.
Simple: this state of affairs is only possible when consumer products and necessities are not scarce.

When scarcity comes into play, well, then it does not matter whether the dollars you are competing with come from the "real economy" or bitcoin. Prices will shoot up.

>I wouldn’t mind if I had to charge at 3.3kw, but if every car is an EV the current grid just isn’t going to be able to carry enough juice.

Also, how did you find out the capacity of your street?
Assuming you mean rural areas, they have their own parking.
And it makes sense. It's like SEO. It's an adversarial environment without a perfect answer, so keeping the reasons hidden truly does help most everyone. It just sucks that it leaves the false positives hanging out to dry with no explanation and no recourse. And this has all gotten to a scale where those false positives are a huge number of people, even if it's a minuscule fraction.
Objective-C is a real object oriented programming language. Everything is messages. Reverse engineering ObjC as a security engineer over the years has been a treat. The runtime is a breeze to work with and the language itself made substantial usability improvements over C. It’s phased out over Swift now, but I really have no complaints over my time with the language, a rare thing in tech. I didn’t know you, Mr. Cox, but I enjoyed your work.
I agree! A lot of code editors are using them in a nice way to display version control info or errors/warnings. Chrome is using it to a small extent when searching using Ctrl-F, showing where in the page the results are. In both cases it's super effective. But they are definitely still underused.
It's going to be very hard to apply that mandate to existing construction. I feel like the best way to move forward is for charging companies like EVgo or Chargepoint (or a new HN company!) to approach building owners, install pay per use chargers for free, and offer the building owners a 10% cut of the charging revenue.

I must say reading this article evoked some nostalgia for that time, simply because the ideas were well-worn and comfortable. (I didn't feel nostalgic for the battles.)

We have remote working here to stay. It will be a massive change in transportation needs and habits. Which means cars will be mainly used for non-city trips, i.e. nature / recreation / roadtrips. Sounds like the worst use case for a battery car. Short inner city transportation may be covered by an electric bike / scooter / tiny car, there is not even need for a huge battery, a 30km battery would do and would be more eco-friendly. I think banning non- electric is overkill

Damn, it's been a while since I've thought about Pidgin. I used to use it every day a decade or so ago.

I was thinking the other day how excited I got about Windows Phone 7 because of how they centralised chats and social feeds from multiple services under a single contact tile. Back then I could see a future where we wouldn't need to log onto Facebook to update our status, or sign into Skype to make a call, but we would instead have a single app which would aggregate all of our communication services into a single UI.

I don't know what happened to that vision. I seem to use so many different communication apps these days. On my desktop I normally have WhatsApp, Signal, MS Teams, Skype, Slack and Apple Mail open at all times and I also keep my phone near me for SMS and calls. Thankfully I don't use social media anymore, but if I did I guess I would also have at least one or two tabs open for Facebook and Twitter.

It seems in recent years platforms have been increasingly restrictive about what you can and can't do with their APIs and chat services such as Slack have ended their support for IRC and XMPP altogether. I understand the move from a business perspective, but it sucks as an end user of these services.

In a lot of ways it seems we've gone backwards from the days of XMPP and Pidgin.
The reason is that the government can ruin your life through prison, but people[a] can’t. If some random person gets your location, they can try blackmailing you, but you can sue them back. If the government gets it, they can go, “@quantified was one of 5 near the scene of the crime! Find him/her and railroad them!”

You are correct regarding there being a discrepancy between the government not allowed to do things private companies can. The solution to that isn’t to allow the government to do it, but to prevent everyone from doing it through good privacy laws like GDPR (but actually enforced).

[a]: In theory. Mafias can ruin your life as well, but the government is nationwide (unlike the local mafia)
So BA built and deployed two prototypes in 2 years and a crewed fully functional module in 16 months with just $17.8M. Yet you assume that SpaceX, who never built a space station before, can somehow do it even faster and cheaper? Why? On what factual basis and on which historical examples do you base this assumption on?

Why not? The ISS is a spacecraft in all but name. It wouldn't be strange if they decided to use starship as a space station development platform, since they already planned for starship to carry humans to Mars.
When we're trying to make sense of things in the big picture, forest from the trees sort of thing, we have to take broad sweeps. We should be able to address counter-points when making high level arguments. Their existence doesn't mean broad sweeps are useless or incorrect.

Arguments in the weeds are disingenuous when they're not challenging the actual pattern. They believe to invalidate an argument as if by demonstrating an axiom in a mathematics proof false, when they may actually demonstrate ignorance of variance.
Personally, I think fully proportional meaning getting rid of districts is the best idea. The entire state is one district, parties publish a ranked list well before the election, and based on the votes everyone got, the top n people from the party's list get elected.

We still have a problem though: how many seats does each state get? Do we still continue to apportion seats each state gets every ten years on a census?

If the distribution grid can power every AC unit in the city (5.5kW apiece) running at the same time at 3pm, I don’t really see why it would fundamentally struggle with 6kW car chargers spread out overnight.

I basically just think you're right about this, modulo the fact that I think it's just as bad in single-party red states (see, for instance, Brownback's Kansas). States that are dominated by a single party devolve into machines, and machines breed machine politicians.

Since it's so much easier to durably align a state than it is a whole country, it's actually kind of problematic for the "laboratories of democracy" theory of federalism.
