This is really a fight over money between Rupert Murdoch's Fox/Newscorp Empire and Google.

A win-win situation for Australia would be for Google to withdraw from Australia and Rupert to not get any money from Google.
> Redux is the JS equivalent of the Windows Registry.

Love it.

I find Dan Abramov a great guy, but it was he who brought us Redux and rose to such fame because of it, and its now considered a bad way of doing things (or maybe just a ridiculously verbose api) and caused a huge amount of pain for a lot of people (I am not blaming him tho!)

Now we have hooks as a collaborative effort involving the same guy, but they feel hacky in a way, and almost like they will not last either.

It really feels like this reinvention for the sake of reinvention. I can easily imagine the API I would like for managing my data layer, but its seems like we are trying to shoe-horn something into the React way when maybe it isn't the right fit and we need something else.
At some point you'd hit the maximum safe RPM limit of the motor. Tesla tends to use motors that can run at very high RPMs, but eventually centrifugal force would damage or destroy it. Also the bearings might wear out. I don't know if the software limit is set to match the RPM limit of the motor, but it makes sense that they would.

Also, AC motors tend to lose power and efficiency if they're pushed beyond their optimal range.

If Teslas are already at the RPM limit, they could get a higher top speed by changing the gear ratios, but then you'd have less power at low speed. Since hardly anyone actually drives at 155MPH, it's sensible to optimize for the way the cars will actually be used almost all of the time.
Any attempt to completely automate this process is destined to fail, for all the reasons given in this thread. Weighting factors matter, and it is naive to assume that nobody is going to attempt to subvert a nonpartisan board, when so much power is at stake.

Don't despair! There's an alternative that generates an equitable outcome between two parties that are trying to screw their rivals: Cake Cutting.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.08781v1

You've probably heard the basic version of how to fairly divide a piece of cake between two children. Have one of them cut it, then the other choose which piece to keep. The cutter guarantees the largest possible piece of cake by cutting the cake in half.

This is the same idea, just extended: one party divides the state into districts, then the other chooses one district to "lock" and divides the remainder, then the process repeats.
Does this actually affect the correctness of their point?

Acting like a reaction to a politically charged breach of the capitol building is equivalent to a page sharing views about COVID and workers rights getting removed?

It actually feels absurd to type that sentence out...
Actually there is a let and let* equivalent as well:

(let* ((v1 e1) (v2 e2)) e3) ⟶ ((v1:=e1), (v2:=e2), e3)[-1]

Dr. Racket example:

> (let* ((x (+ 3 4)) (y (* x x))) (+ y (- x) 8))
50

Python equivalent:

>>> ((x:=3+4), (y:=x**2), y-x+8)[-1]

Try it! If you don’t want to delete all social media, start by deleting all your accounts except the one you use the most to _connect with others_ (not to read news or get opinions). It’s 100% worth it

Hard? No. Irritating? Not surprisingly. I've had ICE loaners when my car is in for repair, and missing "one pedal driving" happens a lot, but it doesn't stop me from operating the ICE vehicle.

Perhaps weirdly the thing I think it makes the hardest is possibly videogames, which exaggerate controls in their own ways. I've gotten very frustrated with braking in most difficulty settings in the Forza series after driving an EV with "one pedal driving" capability for years now.
Brave doesn't have enough market share to matter for this, so far.

I've been part of several "general-purpose" internet communities that tried having a "no politics" rule. It never, ever works. You can almost make it work if your community is a) dedicated to a single topic, like Hacker News and b) has sufficient human moderation. So hobby forums and subreddits can maybe get away with it, but Facebook - no way.
Ironically, as you describe that most search results provide scrapped content, Google provides more flow through traffic to news organizations than they do the rest of the Internet. For news, you need to click through to get more than the headline.

I love the idea of having that information readily available, but I don't think it will ever be a banner spec. Three numbers is two too many and who wants "density" when you can have "MEGATRANSISTORS"? I know, I know, but marketing is what it is and I think it's better to lean into it.
Would you like to start a group that attempts to expunge all political groups from Facebook? A collection of people all holding a particular societal stance who want to further that stance, in an effort for their collective resources and voice to be used in that furtherance?
Because of the infrastructure surrounding it - e.g. fleets of cars taxis, public transit, etc. In other words, better options than having an owning an EV, which, if you pay attention, is what we're talking about here.
I don't think 1) is any issue. I worked on desktop apps as well as web apps, and overall I think it's mostly the same. You have some widgets, state, actions, etc - and need to connect all things together.

However I could totally imagine that a team which is familiar with advanced patterns for "connecting everything together" are unhappy with the bare minimum Redux approach. MVVM can be pleasant to work with, and isn't necessarily as much of a ceremony and chore as the redux stuff.

I didn't suggest that critical thinking was declining. I don't have a position on whether it is or is not - I can think of several different factors that would (collectively) push in both directions.
The camera in your MBP isn't the Apple Silicon camera that's used in their mobile devices. In the near future, when Apple drops Intel from their entire laptop product line, it is very likely that they'll bring their Apple Silicon cameras from their mobile products to their laptop products. (Yes, there's a 'version zero' MBP with the M1, and a teardown showed that it's literally a drop-and-swap of the motherboard with no other component changes at all. It's literally the "get this out the door so that developers can start finding issues so we can fix them for the masses" model. Hope y'all waited to upgrade if you're not developers for Apple products!)

Everyone assumes that it's only the camera module that needs to be updated, but forgets that it's the image processing hardware circuits that make DSLRs and iOS devices produce such gorgeous images. This, in a nutshell, is why USB webcam makers can't compete: they aren't willing to raise their price by $50 to incorporate a real image processing chip that's able to handle the sensor adequately, and their software is crap because it's bargain-basement and hacked-together to avoid the hardware spend. Imagine if we could purchase Leica and Nikon and Canon webcams, with the ability to use DSLR controls to set them up, and then have them just produce gorgeous photos at any time. So far, Apple is the only webcam maker that's taken it far enough to earn praise. It's really unfortunate.

You're assuming, rather uncharitably, that people in favor of "private entities cannot be compelled to host the speech of others" only support that point of view because it serves other political stances they hold, rather than as a general principle.

A site is free to ban all left-wing groups, all right-wing groups, all centrist groups, all groups with an 'e' in their names, all hate groups, or all of the above. Others are free to react to those bans accordingly, and choose whether to associate/support/host the site or not.
Our media industry industry operates this by virtue of Twitter.

"People are saying such-and-such" and then showing a Tweet from some random nobody (i.e. 'weak man') to validate the fact - is how so many narratives are created.

Or - by simply taking the tiniest, most innocuous bit of human interaction ('some guy on a plane did what?') and blowing it up into a national story, as though it is in any way representative of anything.

This is how in a sea of actual facts, the general truth can easily be distorted, and they are, all day long.

Part of the reason for this is because we connect with human stories, not data.

How the pandemic revealed the smart home paradox
"Something most be done. This is something. Therefore, this must be done." is a well-known logical fallacy.

Introducing non-native species can have unexpected consequences. Though lynxes do prey on deer, they also prey on birds and smaller mammals, which would put them in competition with Scottish wildcats, which are endangered. We can't be sure that introducing lynxes won't drive Scottish wildcats to extinction.

There are other solutions to the problem you mention. Deer can be shot and the venison sold in supermarkets and other outlets (restaurants, once COVID-19 is under control). This already happens, albeit on a small scale. Venison could also be exported but there's now a lot of extra paperwork which needs to be done now that we've left the EU.
I've been trying to wrap my head around this as well. You look at the repeated rolling brown-outs that seem to happen in places like California every few years, and I wonder how throwing 10s of millions of cars that all need to charge at extremely high rates is going to be absorbed.

Sure, SOME of those people might also install things like solar panels and batteries, but I just don't see how the math works right now.
A Nissan LEAF is essentially a golf cart, though.
People aren't pushing themselves anywhere close to their limits. If you look at extreme athletes who run 100+ miles or swim for hours or lift weights multiple times a day without taking breaks it's evident that human limits are far higher than what the average person is willing to endure. For the average person they should probably be pushing themselves harder.
Right, the victim in this case self-reporting it is "favorable media attention", unlike the mostly false whinging from the right, which only gets repeated national legislative attempts in the US and endless media repeat on national outlets.
> but it won't replace a gas station.

It will replace the majority of them.

The concept non-EV owners struggle with is that with an EV you don't normally go out of your way to charge it the way you do with an ICE. If you can charge at home, at work, at the grocery store, and at restaurants then why do you need a filling station? If you start your day at 100% because you charge at home then you don't need any of the other infrastructure unless you go on a road-trip.

The amount of charging infrastructure need is also based on both demand and use case. A grocery store or restaurant might opt for DC fast chargers because they know customers won't be around for more than 30 minutes, but an office park can use 3-6kw chargers because users are there for 8 hours a day. The EVSEs are smart too so you can balance output based on demand. Have two EVs plugged in, they both get 3kw. Just one can pull 6kw.
Which just means you have a longer financing period. Capital is so cheap today it shouldn’t be a problem as long as BEV can actually show longevity.

Try cutting and sanding a (too big for their mouth) piece of wood (it's a very hard wood), in my experience that's the most "potent" form of the drug. I used to keep a piece of wood, a bit larger than a domino, for my own cat and sanded it more or less regularly.

Private mommy groups often have "no politics" rules that the admins genuinely believe they are enforcing, and yet those same groups are anti-vax cess pools.

So. Not sure what "banning all political groups" would even mean.

1) Go string type is specified as a sequence of bytes. Full stop. Any encoding, binary blob, string does not care. Particular stdlib string functions _do_ care, expect UTF-8 encoding and document the fact. Other stdlib string function work with the sequence as a sequence.

3) Go specification requires UTF-8 in only one place: the encoding of Go source files string literals.

2) Pure ASCII is a subset of UTF-8, ie. pure ASCII _is_ valid UTF-8. There is _no_ more work and there are _no_ security problems when working with pure ASCII as UTF-8, because that's what it is.
A physical illustration of this point: I read a book about bodyweight exercise about a year ago. One section of the book was about stretching. One piece of advice on stretching was "go until you're slightly uncomfortable, and then try to relax". Don't go until it hurts and you need to summon reservoirs of willpower to grit it out -- go until it's a little tough, and slowly let yourself see that it isn't that tough. Over time, the point at which it becomes tough changes. I've found this to be pretty useful applied to new experiences in general.

I suffer from the same thing. I recently opened a text editor, copied all the URLs, and closed the tabs.

Some of the tabs were PDFs so I downloaded them and saved them. There were 89, averaging about 20 pages (some were books). Rounding up to 90, that's about 1800 pages. I read about 33 pages an hour (yeah, I did measure it), that turns out to be 1800 / 30 or 60 hours of reading, ignoring the other tabs. I need to hire people to read for me.

There are tons of cars at much more affordable prices. They are across the board safer, more reliable, more fuel efficient, and last longer than pretty much any historical vehicles. In 2006, the average vehicle life expectancy was about 8 years, 150k miles. Now it's 12+ years, 200k+ miles.
