People always bring up long road trips as an excuse against EVs but honestly I don't get it. On road trips the stop for gas was always an excuse to stretch your legs, use the restroom, grab snacks at the convenience store, and just GTFO of the car. A gas stop is never just 5 minutes to fill up.

I moved from GA to CA last summer. I drove a moving truck towing our Leaf and my partner in our Model 3, we made it a point to take the same route but not stick together. When ended up staying together for most of the trip and would arrive at our hotels within half an hour of one another, usually the Model 3 arrived first. Often we would pass them charging at a Supercharger only to be overtaken when we stopped or just due to speed.
It's clear from my posting history that I am hugely biased towards "pushing myself" to extremes career-wise. But at least in my experience, that doesn't really translate to more stress, and quite often to less.

I have a theory that there's a constant level of happiness and misery that we experience in most normal situations that really has more to do with who we are than our situation. So for example, a guy may experience a certain level of anxiety about losing his job that doesn't depend on whether he's the janitor or the CEO. He will feel the same amount of pressure and exertion whether he's trying to finish mopping the floor on time or launch a successful IPO.

To the extent that this is true, you might as well be the CEO.

A related view is that our perceived difficulties are relative to our challenges. I used this example before: my wife and I are pretty busy with our 1 kid. Our rabbi is seemingly equally busy with his 10 kids. I bet we'd feel roughly as busy if we each doubled our number of kids.

Similarly, I didn't feel that it was "harder" to go to business school while working fill time than it was to just work. It all kinda feels the same, so the "pushing" part is more about being able to get yourself into the situation than handling the situation on on-going basis.

And the kicker is that it all works out way less stressful. If the CEO and janitor worry about losing their job about the same, but the CEO has a much nicer cushion if he actually gets fired, you might as well try to be the CEO. Similarly, if being an individual contributor and being a manager are about equally hard on you, be the manager because if you ever get sick of the job, you'll have 2x the opportunity (all the management jobs along with all the IC jobs) versus just being the IC.

All this is a long winded way to say - people over-estimate the stress of being at the next level, and under-estimate the reduction in background stress that actually being at that level brings.

I'd guessed. Lets say they wait one generation then just say "nah, we're not paying. Just ignore that debt". Who loses? Did the losers deserve to win? These are tricky questions.

There isn't a reason to think that the US taxpayer is going to pay back their debts (in real terms). The numbers have gotten large enough relative to GDP that they aren't realistically going to honour those promises.

It may get ugly, but that debt isn't going to last generations.
Angular has built in dependency injection, recommends to use services to encapsulate state. Built-in services use RxJs for propagating changes by default, and following that pattern gets you very far. Especially for an enterprise app.

> You can edit the wifi network and change from DHCP to static IP. Then you can set the DNS for that network right there.

Gross. I want to accept an IP address without accepting anything else. Just the IP address. Nothing else. Let me choose to turn off the default gateway on this network or even do something dumb like assign a different default gateway. Let me choose what DNS server to use. Let me opt-in to any other routes the network thinks I need. Let me opt-in to a time server. Give control of my device back!
Per the sibling comment to yours, no, they aren't referring to that. "The point" is attacking a strawman.

As a general takeaway, "It actually feels absurd to type that sentence out..." can be a useful warning sign that you're projecting an absurd interpretation onto a reasonable statement instead of applying the Principle of Charity.
What Satoshi has actually proven is that the cliche is true: you have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide, if by "nothing" you mean "nothing that's a major crime."

Bitcoin is mostly a speculative tool and what few transactions happen on the blockchain are dominated by drugs and other contraband.

Society doesn't hold together at all unless people are smacked back into line when they act antisocially. No amount of technology can change that fundamental truth; ostracism and silence are core to human nature.

Sadly, given the actions of Twitter, Facebook, Apple, and Google, that is a preferred option to the current state today. Ironically we will have more freedom in that state.
Chapter Four: Therapies
You are assuming EV charging is everywhere, but right now infrastructure is extremely limited.

I have yet to see a grocery store with a charging station in Seattle (QFC/Safeway/Whole Foods), and the one I have seen (at a Safeway far north), there were are only 2 spots and power was shared across ports.

The reality for me is that L2 charging is currently useless as the places I go do not provide chargers.
I don't think you understand the GP comment.

All electric cars are torque-limited certainly != electric cars do not have good low-speed torque.

It is precisely because electric motors are capable of such high torque that they have to be torque limited.
Unless you regularly drain all 4 cars to 0% in 8 hours, this is not really a problem. And if you do, you're likely running some kind of transport company and can afford planning for better charging.

Yes redundantly encoding type everywhere in your id will be easier for a specific kind of bug yet you're adding that overhead all the time in both your db mapper and extra bytes everywhere.

Or we are getting reports of invalid order ID let me run a scan across db's and see if its valid anywhere, oh hey it shows up in persons somebody mixed them up somewhere or no it's just invalid somebody messed up in some other way.

If it happens enough to encode it everywhere in ID's you could just have a dev tool that looks for it across your db's with a copy paste, a little longer to scan, vs overhead always in the running app so you can quickly determine that one specific bugs cause. Either way its an invalid ID and being a UUID it won't collide and cause worse problems with overlapping person and order ID as would occur with integers.

I just don't see the value but hey at least you're not storing it that way in the db right?
That seems... like a creative way of putting it. Wyoming may not have existed as a state entity, but the people sure did. And they had their reasons for joining the federation - this is one of them.
I bet you I have spend much more time then you analyzing. And I know about all the different targets from all the different car makers. They actually have public plans of how many EV they will build (and very often they actually fall short of their own plans).

More importantly I know about global battery capacity and how new capacity gets added and how much. I also know how much lithium, cobalt and nickel is mined and how much needs to be mined for the global industry.

You still believe that Tesla is some small player that is gone get crushed by the larger competition. Tesla has a higher market cap, easier time to raise cash, is the largest consumer of Li-Ion, has the largest long term supply contracts for materials, is close partner to all major battery producers (LG,CATL,Panasonic) and they are by far the most vertically integrated and they will soon add their own batteries to mix. In a 3-4 years Tesla will be one of the bigger battery producers in the world themselves.

We also know have a good idea how long it takes car makers to produce new vehicles and secure the supply chain. Look at 'all in on EV' GM, they are building a massive battery factory that by 2025 will be smaller then Giga Nevada is right now. In that same time Tesla plans to build another factory that will more then double or triple output of current Nevada and Giga Nevada will continue to grow as well.

Ford has no supply chain at all in North America and relies on LG in Poland. We know about how much output is planned from there and most of that is not for Ford. Ford has already realized that their idea of just 'buying what in the market' will limited them a huge amount.

Batteries can not be magically created, nor can lithium mines. We already know about all the battery factories that will go online and we know where they will send most of their supply. Nobody will catch up to Tesla in the next couple years.
Yes. But marginalized doesn't mean racial minorities. Which you've seemed to miss.
> Not a doctor or well read on the subject but I have seen some studies claiming it does.

Your source is quite old and only provides baseless speculation about an hypothesis where hydroxychloroquine might play a role in treating covid-19 effectively.

If you invest some time searching for the topic you'll find a multitude of studies which failed to find any evidence that hydroxychloroquine has any effect at all.

Taken for example, this article.

https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanrhe/article/PIIS2665-9...

This paper might not have been accepted by the Wall Street Journal but in it the author's point out tjat multiple high-quality studies subsequently showed no benefit of hydroxychloroquine use as post-exposure prophylaxis3
or as a COVID-19 treatment.

The author's proceed to address the hypothesis that prior long term treatment with hydroxychloroquine by autoimmune disease patients was a factor, and cite a study that "found no significant difference in standardised cumulative COVID-19 mortality associated with hydroxychloroquine use".

The author's then state quite unambiguously the following:

>These findings are not surprising given the mounting body of literature suggesting no clinical benefit for hydroxychloroquine use against COVID-19. However, this study is important in addressing the potential role, or lack thereof, for hydroxychloroquine as a preventive medication for this novel infectious disease.
I have a plug-in hybrid in the US (which assuages my range concerns). It's pretty great to putter around the city on electric power, almost never swapping to gas unless I head over to the highway.

But if I want to keep puttering on EV, I need to charge, and I rent. Thankfully, my city (Boston) has a decent number of chargers. My most convenient one is a couple blocks down the street, in front of a parking meter. The meter is only enforced from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM, so I can get a charge for free if I park outside those hours. Sometimes my desire to not give off emissions even when I haven't had a chance to do it for free will encourage me to pay $1 or so for the 19ish mile range of a full charge... so it's not even a bad rate compared to the price of gasoline.

The hull where they're able to manually inspect it shouldn't be going through quite that extreme of a temperature differential because it's wrapped in insulation and protective layers. But it's also almost 21 years old so even the smaller actual cycle is probably getting to it combined with all the other mechanical stresses from equipment and thruster firings.
So essentially the 'node' size is the lithography process, not the chips you design with that process. You can't make a feature smaller than the lithography process, nor x.5 times as big as the resolution of the lithography. There will then be a bunch of parts of the chip that are just a little bigger or a little farther apart than they need to be.

Not unlike how there are pipeline phases that are just a little longer than they theoretically could be (because all of their neighbors have to line up with each other). If you can fix the bottleneck then everything else can shine, causing a magical, outsized improvement.

That is a good example of weak man. Also, your post is a good example of how devious the weak man is. You're using one to criticize another (the implication that the people criticizing the people who are antagonistically defensive of Christmas are largely criticizing Christians in general, and further, are doing so in large part because of a single Arizona man's actions, and further, that they are "not fond of Christians", which is not required to criticize something that occurred in the Christian world).

No, you are wrong. Ideas like that are a big reason that apps get slower despite hardware getting faster.
Very soon you won't use barely any desktop software nor will your coding depend on your hardware as much as now. Many companies are working on that and the time seems much better than a few years back. I am curious to see how some startups in this space will reshape the world.

Tim Berner’s Lee and the Solid project have a good answer to these issues I think. Everyone owns their posts and likes and comments and friends etc. Any new platform can spin up and instantly compete because they just have to make your data more useful to you. It’d be like you owning all your music online and Spotify is just an interface, if you don’t like it you can jump to Apple Music. Or make your own or download some random app off the web that does what you want. The reason a new social network can’t just compete with Facebook is because they have all the data, if the data could stay with us then new platforms offering news ways of interfacing would be popping up all over the place. https://solidproject.org/
Regulatory capture requires politicians to follow their lobbyists, and not react against everything they say because FB et. al. have become public relations poison.
This is unclear and farmers could find that they were wrong about it. Wouldn't be the first time.

Farmers lose small sheep to foxes. Lynx clean an area of foxes and defend bigger territories. Yes a couple of lynx can kill a lamb here and there, but currently they have yet twelve foxes in the same area trying to do the same all the time and living under the farm basement, so... what option looks better for the farmers? My bet would be "much less foxes and a lynx"
I used to think smaller districts would be harder to gerrymander, but the 99 Wisconsin State Legislature districts (each none too big) can still be gerrymandered plenty to distort the balance of that body.
Trump pardons Anthony Levandowski, star self-driving who was paid $120M
2021 Tesla Model S has a 100kW battery and 402-mi range. I searched for "average driving miles per year" and Google says 13,500 miles - assuming this, we have about 37 miles per day, which would mean our Tesla S only needs to charge 9.2kW every day. If they're sitting on a charger 10 hours per day, they can take a leisurely 920W per vehicle (less than a good hair dryer), not 11.5kW.
Unexpected, Useless, and Urgent (Or, What RSS Gets Right)
This reminds me somewhat of people who aren't particularly skilled at math, or are proud of not being particularly skilled at math.

A common refrain is "I'm hopeless with math/numbers".

And to be frank, calculators exist, so as long as you know how to get to the answer you need... I don't think I have a problem with it.
Yeah, but Enterprises with more money than sense aren't going to pick the good bootcamps, they're going to go with whatever gets the highest rating in Gartner's Magic Quadrant, or whatever one is run by the guy who golfs with the CEO.
I love Adam Curtis documentaries. The century of self, Power of nightmares, The trap and Hypernormalisation were all amazing. I might not agree with everything he says, but there is no denying that they are thought provoking, beautifully narrated and spectacularly well edited films.

If you haven't watched them yet, I would encourage you to do so.
So, aside from Jabber, IRC, and the AIM TOC protocol (which was the weaker version — we used OSCAR, which was not open), we had to reverse-engineer most of the protocols, and keep up-to-date with changes. Often these services actively tried to block us, and we would spend weeks or months working around their changes. Yahoo was notorious for this.

It's not entirely different than the current situation, in that regard, but there was also less security baked in on the older services, and much of the protocols were in plain text.

It's funny. I was just reminiscing about all this a few days ago on Twitter. https://twitter.com/chipx86/status/1352371276464050181

While I'm out of the IM game (gaim?) these days, I'd be very interested in any modern attempts to reverse-engineer these modern services, and whether the pushback from companies would be any different.
>but feminism is about analysing the power dynamic between the _classes_ of 'man' and 'woman'.

Show HN: Garnet – Distributed Python on Kubernetes
Garnet (https://garnet.ai) is a framework to run distributed and parallel Python on Kubernetes. We make it easy to scale from laptop to cluster, without requiring any devops work.

Garnet plugs into any existing Python environment (notebook, IDE, CI/CD pipelines, custom apps) using a lightweight client library, and enables users to scale popular data/ml libraries (including pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, etc.) and custom code to a remote cluster for execution. Under the hood, we natively wire up Dask with Kubernetes for scheduling, which brings advantages such as dynamic resource allocation, ephemeral clusters and autoscaling, while abstracting the devops complexity for developers and data scientists.

Our vision is to build the orchestration layer for distributed computing in Python. We’re starting off with Dask, but have goals of supporting other frameworks such as Ray and Modin in the future.

Some of the cool use cases we’ve seen from our users are:
Bursting to the cloud from local dev environments for data and memory intensive computations
Standing up managed Dask and Kubernetes clusters programmatically in 3-4 lines of Python, without any devops knowledge (Docker, k8s etc.)
Parallelize existing codebases in pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost etc. with minimal code changes, without opting for a more complex system such as Spark

Currently, users can download our client library and run Dask workloads on our fully managed cluster (see docs). We’re working on adding the capability to run Garnet on your own cloud (Kubernetes) in an upcoming release.

We’re excited to hear your feedback, and what you’d like to see. Please drop your email on our website so we can get in touch directly.
Ask HN: What is your low stress, high paid job?
Are you in a job that you love and get paid well? What do you do and what do you love about it?

Disclaimer: I am currently a scrum master/software engineer in a team that has a lot of pressure. I haven't had a 'relaxing' holiday without worries in over 12 months and so I'm considering a change. I want to understand if there exists a well paid, comfortable position in this stress-saturated industry.
I agree; you can easily have an authenticating proxy. Like I said, I'm guessing that they decided it was a static page on a public CDN first, so now it's hard to add an authenticating proxy on each CDN node. If they wanted auth from the start, then it wouldn't be a static page sitting on a CDN node, and it would be easy to add. (But harder to scale to a CDN, and thus we'd see a lot of Github Pages sites slashdotted or whatever.)

I could easily be completely wrong about this. But it's interesting, to me, to consider the order that features were requested, and how that affects future feature requests. Sometimes you paint yourself in a corner and make easy things hard. Something to think about as you plan your own software!
Why should any agency turn up the possibility of buying what it wants on the open market? For some reason there are legal restrictions on what the government can do for itself that citizens allow to be done, even seek to have done to each other.
You're probably right. In the US there's generally two systems, flat-rate or time-of-use.

A lot of people on time-of-use plans are installing battery backups and/or solar to avoid the peak charges. I have a Tesla solar/powerwall setup that's configured for cost savings and it decided that today 100% of solar was going to be back fed to the grid and we've been running 100% off the batteries. Usually the system just switches to batteries during peak.

Credit cards are not widely accepted in Germany. Germans generally use cash or EC/Maesto debit cards, and you can't get an EC card if you're not an EU resident with an EU bank account (which can be hard for Americans, and, to a lesser extent, any foreigner, I'm sure).

I used to have a Maestro-branded debit card (in the US) when I was younger. I have no idea if it's the same system and/or if they're compatible. I checked my wallet and my current debit card has no Maestro branding.

I've more than once found myself halfway through a meal before realizing that I might not have a way to pay for it.

>Then there's a genuine question of what this enormous expenditure truly buys us.

It helps to answer the question of whether or not humans can even survive long term away from Earth. Sure, if you judge it purely by the price tag, it's not doing very well. If you judge it by the scientific, societal and philosophical implications, we're not spending nearly enough.
I don't know about other EVs, but the Leaf shows the battery capacity on the dashboard at all times - if you know how to read it. I had to google it because the salesman had no idea.

The first leaf we looked at was already down to 80%, but the second was in perfect condition at two years old, and is still in perfect condition at age six.
