No, they have to keep with laws of the countries they operate in.

In difference to the US:

- some countries clearly differentiate between private and cooperate

- have proper free speech laws which are not limited to government inference into free speech but free speech itself

- have laws about discrimination and protection of political organizations which does not allow you to arbitrary "block" people

etc.

I don't know about UK law. But I'm pretty sure this would have been unlawful in Germany, and potentially all of EU (due to EU wide regulation, but while I'm pretty sure about Germany I'm less so about EU wide regulations).

When I worked at one of the biggest ISP's in the world we got extremely despondent when https and other end-2-end encryptions became the standard because we were then unable to understand what traffic was on the wires. For ISPs and network providers now everything is just bits, and it's all commodity. The service layer is now implemented by clients.

It's not really a mystery if you understand who the customers are. Tesla's Supercharger customers are Tesla owners (for the most part), and Tesla has a vested interest in keeping them happy.

Other charging stations are mostly installed in mall parking lots and so on by government mandate. The owners of the parking lots pay to get them installed and maintained--they are the customers. And since they're (mostly) satisfying a government tick box, there's not nearly as much incentive to keep functioning.

This article sounds convincing but I don't find it really hard to refute these weak man arguments:

“I hate people who frivolously
diagnose themselves with autism without knowing anything about the disorder. They should stop thinking they’re ‘so speshul’ and go see a competent doctor.” - "you're so right! That is why I did a lot of research before I diagnosed myself. I'd really like to see a doctor about it as soon as I can."

"I am a proud atheist and I don’t like religion. Think of the terrible things done by religion, like the actions of the Westboro Baptist Church. They try to disturb the funerals of heroes because they think God hates everybody. But this is horrible. Religious people can’t justify why they do things like this. That’s why I’m proud to be an atheist.” - "these people are totally nuts! I as a Christian can not understand how they can justify their actions. No way this is something real Christians would do."

And so on...

For those people it's a matter of buying a number of chargers that they can choose between.

They can limit access to those chargers to the people living in the building or allow anyone to use them and make some money by selling the electricity. You can even have access control depending on the time of day.

Another benefit is that you get load balancing when many people are charging at the same time.

Private chargers are only a good idea if you there's only a few living spaces.
On the mac context menus show up on mouse down. This is so you can click, then drag the the menu entry you want, then release the button to select the menu entry. Overall there is only one click, not two. Some people find it faster.
Let's take Madrid as an example of a typical densely populated euro-city. ~ 3M population, half a million registered cars. I really don't see it economically, environmentally, or even technically viable to install a quarter million chargers to fix the battery charging problem.
To be fair, gaming as a consumer is not an inherently productive activity. The production of games, sure, but the tax of the creation is heavily distributed across the consuming population.

If what you care about is to have your population be as productive as possible, you want to produce just enough of these entertainment avenues domestically as would be sustainable and not leading to large scale distraction, while still mainly exporting the product that has no such restraints.

I think that's actually the challenge at hand for China, and it's not unique to the country. Korea, Japan, and many others face the same issues while having different tools to deal with the phenomenon.
Allocate it via Marshal.AllocHGlobal, and use unsafe to place it there.

Then you can allocate and deallocate at will.

Or just use a struct.
As a founder of one of the companies on that list, I can at least say why we went with Tencent.

All the western tech companies all had shitty alterior motives for wanting to buy us.

Amazon wants to use you to get more prime subscribers. Microsoft wants you to develop games as exclusives for their platforms. Etc etc.

You talk to other companies western tech buys and its stories about how they come in and meddle.

Only Tencent wants to buy you so that you can keep doing the thing you are doing without screwing around with your company. They have a very good reputation for this and it’s deserved.

The GC kicks in when allocating a new object and it decides it needs more memory. GC likely kicked in as you allocated the last object, and after the collection phase, still didn’t have enough memory and so failed.

I believe objects with destructors can keep an object alive for an extra collection phase, but I believe if that’s the case it can easily be solved with a using block before allocating the next object.

That would be a weird and not so subtle approach. The service has to be responsive enough to handle that 100GB of traffic, which DDoS works against. 1GB a day would be a rounding error for any established internet service, on the other hand if you get DDoS'ed, you will do at least a bit of log review.

I don't see what anyone would gain this way.

This creates the false impression there is a neat separation between internal and external pressure. In reality, life is a tangle.

You're pushing your taxes because you had a busy quarter at work getting that project out the door. Your pushing your running because you've been overeating due to stress at work/with kids/etc. Your pushing your personal project because dealing with a personal situation is just too much right now. Maybe you're pushing because you drank the koolaid (and who hasn't?) that you should 'live life to it's fullest' and be busy every waking second.

In general, pushing is I think a crutch that we sometimes need to use, but probably should use a little as possible. In an ideal life, all those things would fit in naturally.

I find accepting limits, revising my priorities, and taking freedom I actually have (as opposed to me and/or society being trained to not recognising it) to do what feels good is a better approach.

Discipline is not in pushing, discipline is in understanding yourself, your environment and setting honest priorities.
Wow it looks like I really pissed off a bunch of Apple fans by saying that they have at some point sold subpar products…
No, TCP/IP and the ability to exchange routes between different networks is what makes the Internet. All of the value is in these interconnected networks and being able to send traffic to arbitrary endpoints regardless of your provider.

There is no “base layer” beneath TCP/IP. That’s the beauty of the Internet. The underlying ISPs connecting together will have different lower level protocols, different internal routing protocols, different hardware, different software, different power sources, different currencies, different spoken languages, etc.

AWS/Google/Cloudflare could cease to exist tomorrow and the Internet would continue on just fine. There would be a ton of websites down for US/European residents, but the Internet would work nonetheless.

I 'grew up' on networking in the late 90's when next to nothing was encrypted on the wire. The amount of understanding I was able to develop about how protocols work by just sniffing the packets was immense. I see folks coming out of school these days and while they far surpass my skills with software development they don't really have any intuition about how the protocols work at the network level, and as a result tend to flounder when things break.

However, if I hadn't stowed away all of that info 20+ years ago I think I would be in largely the same position. Obviously encrypted network protocols are essential for security and privacy, but it kind of sucks for folks trying to figure out how things work.
Fair enough. Just the perspective of someone who was deep into all this stuff. I suppose I've become one of those born-again ascetics who become zen minimalists in their second birth and leave their .vimrc untouched.
Even if we assume battery size/shape standardization, this would move the baterry liability from the car owner to the battery pack vendor, since they would have to maintain the batteries in circulation (introduce new ones, retire old ones) etc. This would require crazy high locked capital and it would cause the cost to be prohibitively high for a casual weekly swap.
They were early investor. Different companies with different focus has different exposure risk. Tencent is golden goose as long as it stays in it's lane and read the tea leaves. They've been very competent at it so far.

Domestic/geopolitics affect companies everywhere. Investors of Qualcomm (Edit: _can't_) be happy after US implemented entity list, and that affects third parties as well like TSMC and ASML. The latter got off light because semis are in such demand, but a bunch of Euro/Japan/Korean tech companies in Huawei supply chain lost out big.
Thank you for saying this out loud. I've had the same visceral reaction to words like "sophistry" but have never taken the time to process why or articulate it. This is exactly how I feel about it, as well.
No that wasn't the problem. You should be able to test it yourself for instance by opening and dereferencing a lot of system.drawing images but not disposing them. You will most likely get an out of memory exception (unless the behavior changed in the last couple of years, and I have not tested it on .net core). Unfortunately the GC doesn't immediatly kick in when you have a memory pressure and you will get an out of memory exception even though there is a lot of garbage ready to be collected (and in my case it was managed objects, not images).
Pidgin. A flock of zero-days flying in formation.

If you're going to use it,

PROTECT CONTENT by using the OTR end-to-end encryption plugin https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/

WARNING: OTR is opt-in E2EE for every session, and that uses old cryptographic primitives (DH-1536 etc.). OTRv4 is in the works but that's going to take years before you have an upgrade: https://github.com/otrv4/otrv4 (Note that Pidgin-OTR v.4.0.2 IS THE E2EE PLUGIN VERSION, NOT THE PROTOCOL VERSION. The protocol version is still 3: https://otr.cypherpunks.ca/Protocol-v3-4.1.1.html)

In the meantime, use https://signal.org/ that uses modern primitives like Curve25519, and that you can't f up as it's not possible to use it without end-to-end encryption.

PROTECT METADATA by proxying your Pidgin connection via Tor from registration to use. Preferably register your XMPP account to an XMPP Onion Service server. This prevents you from accidentally conneting to the server without Tor which would deanonymize you. List of XMPP Onion Services can be found at

https://gist.github.com/dllud/a46d4a555e31dfeff6ad41dcf20729...

Ask your peers to do so too.

Note, since this is something that requires manual configuration, it's easy to mess up.

A better solution is to ditch Pidgin and use https://briarproject.org/ that you can't accidentally f up as you can't use it without Tor (unless they live in the flat above you, then you can use BT/WiFI), and you can't forget to use E2EE.
That's an important detail, but in practice probably not too bad. Might need some sort of third party separate from Rysolv to hold funds until they either contact Joan or hit some sort of expiry date.

The bigger question is how do you handle disputes. Who decides that the issue is actually resolved? What if the fix involves multiple people?
Make sense. Thank you for the feedback.
DC motors are great if you want the most power with the least price, but for a daily driver AC has a few advantages. AC motors are usually zero maintenance because they don't have brushes to wear out, and it's a lot easier to support regen (which I've heard actually makes a big difference to driving experience; people expect the car to slow down when they take their foot off the gas, and it's disconcerting for it to just keep rolling forward like a freewheeling bicycle).

AC motors and motor controllers are generally more expensive than, say, a Warp9 and a Zilla, but the price difference is gradually dropping. Probably the price difference between AC and DC for a major manufacturer is even smaller than what's available retail to hobbyists doing conversions. And I think more and more conversions are being done with repurposed Tesla and Leaf drive units.

A small, cheap AC motor attached to a 2 or 3 speed transmission would be a lot of fun to drive, I think. No need for a reverse gear even. Maybe not even a clutch or flywheel, if you can match the motor speed with the transmission electronically.

My batteries are about 450 pounds of lithium iron phosphate cells. That's generally what's recommended for conversions. Used Tesla packs have much better energy density, but they're more dangerous and need liquid cooling and are awkwardly shaped. I couldn't think of a good place to put them in the RX-8 where they'd be safe.
And this is how opensource dies; not with a bang, but with a whimper.

I used to think that. But from my experiences, their customer service is crap, and I had a bunch of downtime on their VPS offering with no compensation offered.

The real question is: WTF is that data commercially available at all, when TLAs need a warrant to access them?
that's a good outcome. I would be very scared if the electrical utility company started looking at what i'm using the electrons for, and start disallowing certain types of uses for their electrons.
Could someone please summarize Curtis' opinions and claims, aggregated across his documentaries?
> It's a lot more bleak when you realize there are virtually no good guys, and a lot of the people who might seem like good guys at first are either grifting or gazed too deeply into the abyss.

It's more to grapple with philosophically, but it's much easier day to day. Having a model of the world that makes sense instead of expecting people to be more intelligent or decent than they are just makes everything go more smoothly. At least, that's my experience.

And it's not as misanthropic or nihilistic as it sounds. I have friends whom I wouldn't consider particularly intelligent, and the ability to accept that about them makes for much smoother interactions and over time has led to deeper connections over other parts of our respective characters/personalities.
The answer is basically zero unless CEOs of some very large companies decide to put morality over shareholder interests.
People fixate on charging speed and forget that the best use case for EVs is to literally charge them when you sleep at a low current.

If the the street has lights on it, they can be used to deliver power to EV cars easily. Adding Type2 plugs and kWh meters to street lights is not a technical issue, it's a political thing of who gets the money and who pays for the up-front costs.

230V/8A per car with smart load balancing will charge 100km of charge overnight. Up that to 12 amps and you've covered the majority of Europeans' daily commute.

> Much of the groundwork for the internet and open software happened in the 1970s and 1980s thanks to influxes of government funding, including at many universities and research organizations.

Sure, that’s one part of it. Then it was industry that came in and made it all useful.

A significant portion of open source contributions to Linux are from people working for industry. Most of the advancements to make routing scale, etc were driven by the likes of Cisco, AT&T, etc.

Oh no he won't. He never explains why or how anything happened. He might attribute the present state of affairs to the bankruptcy of new york city in the seventies. Or to shady deals the west made with middle Eastern regimes. But none of it adds up to a coherent argument. It's just a long lamenting binge.

I'll still watch it of course.
