Well somebody could try to do a representative study, but this is a HN comment, not a scientific publication.

I could also try to deconstruct some of the common complex-to-refute arguments, but I'm afraid the message would get lost in the following controversy.

What I'm saying is my perceptions following experiences I have had myself.

I suppose one could disagree with me by showing counterexamples of generally recognized public arguments for this and that and how they can be refuted simply. You have a point though. I'm not sure how I could avoid that criticism and still make an effective argument.
This shut down story is another tale in the impending international regulation, and maybe breaking up, of what is comically called 'big tech' ('big' does not begin to describe the sizes involved, the naivety is staggering).

As newspaper barons before them, the internet has not policed itself adequately enough, according to the governments of the world, and now they will act in unity to take back some control.

And then what? Decentralized systems, and The Dark Web, will grow.

Citizens will require a personal licence to access the internet, and anonymous use will be illegal.

Not for the starving billion who are barely surviving, yet are also producing all the commodities global north capitalists force them to make: often after having been forcefully bribed/expelled from their land, mostly by ruthless global north firms together with corrupt governments.

This is the idea that among a group the reasonable voices will prevail. Seen elsewhere:

>One unintended consequence of crushing speech on the right is that sane righties lose the ability to talk lunatics out of crazy. Back in the old days, I had many conversations talking sense into conspiracists from Rothschild to contrails. They listened to me because I’m credible in a way CNN is not. Now, instead, I shut up. I fear we’re about to embark on an unfortunate experiment to rediscover why, precisely, free speech has for 300 years been considered a bedrock necessity for a civilized society.

It’s entirely this. It’s not just “now I shut up” though, it’s ”I had no idea there was a group planning on doing xyz, because they were mad about abc, never heard anything about that in my Facebook timeline!”

The reasonable voices are either not participating because they have been “nudged” not to, or they are afraid of the consequences of being open and honest about their ideas. Let’s not pretend the upvote/downvote systems aren’t SPECIFICALLY for this.
Haha send me an email: onassar@gmail.com
I've got a cool, simple UI in mind for the flow, but want to hear more about how you envision the icon class idea working.
So, I can have 100Gb of data for X or 100Gb of data plus all-I-can-eat from 'PopularService' for X+Y. If I choose to pay extra, that's my choice. Seems reasonable, after all it's my own bandwidth that I'm buying with my own money.

It's dodgy if the ISP serves it at lower speed for either capped or uncapped. An ISP might throttle uncapped to force the service to use lower quality and less bandwidth, or they might throttle capped to encourage folk to pay for uncapped.

It seems neutral at first glance, but the side effect is a barrier to market for competitors not on the ISP offers.

As for legalities until it's tested in court it's hard to know if any law stands up to scrutiny especially in an area as grey as this. My gut feel is that ISPs would get away with it unless they are abusing a monopoly, but hey IANAL either.
Just to see the big picture, what are the main differences between this and Snowflake, or ULID (https://github.com/ulid/spec)?

It actually depends. Sure there's plenty of ones that are complete garbage, but well structured ones work well, especially in two situations: 1. For people who have 0 coding experience to get introduced to how to start coding and where to look to learn more 2. Experienced devs who need a good overview of a new technology that they can further explore more on their own. It's not a bandaid, do a bootcamp and you'll be gods kind of a solution.
Regarding the second point, I read it as nothing but a fairly artful simile. Let me know if you need a pointer to where this is taught as well.

Speaking as a worker at an electric utility company--we aren't.

Sure, solar panels and batteries help. Plus there's the possibility of using EVs as a distributed battery system, and lots of other clever ideas like that.

But it's not enough. We hit a record load this summer, and expect another record this year.

Add on the extra burden of regulation that enforces green energy production, and we're edging toward not being able to meet customers' needs. (Green energy is a worthy cause, don't get me wrong, but far more costly and time-consuming to build out the infrastructure.)

TLDR; We're struggling. Real bad.

(Edited to add: I should define "struggling." We strive to keep prices as low as possible, and also to fund low-income assistance programs. We keep having to raise prices, are looking at jacking them up even more this year, and are struggling to fund our low-income programs.

Our community is deeply hurting from these changes, and are making their voices heard.

Don't get me wrong, I'm very pro green energy. But the effects of green regulation needs to be seriously studied and the negative impacts mitigated.)
>With the hardware being multiple times faster, why doesn't software follow suit?

Because software has to be written in a way that leverages the new hardware. The optimization is not automatic. If you haven't read this[1] then it may provide some insight.

I’m sure you make this comment in good faith, but no - every React project I’ve been part of sounds very similar to this. The others, not so much, and I’ve been doing frontend for over a decade. There is a distinct amount of churn and excess of dependencies / eternally unsolved problems that is particular to the React ecosystem.

Note that your suggestions do not address the main problems: time spent upgrading libraries, brittle dependencies, and linear degradation of performance and stability. Code standards and code reviews cannot help when the problems come with the standards.
Yes. If all your cars get the maximum use out of the energy in the petroleum and you provide atmospheric pollution controls on the power plants that eliminate smog/particulates then you have a net win, even if your total energy from petroleum doesn't change.

Thanks for the honest reply. Sorry for getting off-topic. I'm trying to understand liberal thought a bit better, hopefully without getting flamed out too much.

I agree that the Starbucks choice of greeting is a "babiest of baby steps" which is probably why only one person really cared in a country of 300 million. But I really struggle to understand the justification here, and it seems to be related to other Culture War crusades. How is avoiding Christmas inclusive? Everyone knows what country we're in and that most people celebrate Christmas, so why would anybody be offended by saying "Merry Christmas"? This matters because if you don't see it as an "inclusive" move, then it just comes off as a way to snub people who do celebrate Christmas.

That is, I can kind of believe that many liberals honestly see these things as "inclusive", but from the outside they actually seem "exclusive". The whole liberal platform is supposedly to tolerate and include, but in practice they seem to hate and exclude about 40% of the country. I just can't see very much of the tolerance and inclusion from my perspective.

Sorry if I'm a bit all over the map, but I'm trying to understand, not debate.
This is great but the pandemic triggered a permanent shift toward WFH which undoubtedly will drive down total miles driven. In addition, car ownership is increasing. I wonder how all these dynamics will play out in coming years.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, because this is a valid idea that's being seriously researched.

Will it offset the surge of electric usage caused by mass adoption of EVs? Probably not. But could it help? Very likely, and I think ideas like this need to be pursued.
Since Google doesn't appear to be working on anything like Graviton, they would have to use a smaller player like Ampere or Nuvia. Marvell says they are out of the general purpose market, and will only work in partnerships for custom chips.

This is as of 2018, and one would expect that the grid will continue to get cleaner as time goes on, which means the BEV options will get cleaner as well.
Yes, because ICE efficiency is so bad you'd still probably reduce emissions caused by mover vehicle use by 30-40%.
The deepest mine in the world [video]
[BradCox release]

RIP.

I owe so much to Objective-C. My early love for the language is what launched my own career, and inspired a love for programming in general. Thank you, Brad Cox.
> Often these are machine learning models which are not explicitly programmed and do act on their own.

That were programmed to make decision no one understands and to act on their own.
Mass adoption won't happen until charging infrastructure improves dramatically.

As a non-Tesla owner, I have had the worst experiences at fast charging stations - I'd say 70% of the time at Electrify America stations (they have the most fast charging coverage), I run into a charger that doesn't work and waste time moving my car and retrying another bay. (I've even experienced a station with 5 bays where none of them would charge - yet they all showed available).

I don't even bother with L2 stations as I'm never in a place long enough to get any meaningful charge out of one - and I'm not going to go out of my way to a location that has one.

With all that said, taking a long trip is out of the question for me.
:(

Objective-C was the “object oriented C” that was simple and a delight to use…words that I certainly would not use to describe competing efforts. The syntax might be a little disagreeable–a concession to strict C compatibility–but the language itself is remarkably clean and, dare I say, pretty. Brad Cox struck the balance between flexibility and practicality better than almost anyone else before or since.
Pretend I'm naïve (better yet don't pretend): can't you set some boundaries? If you need to get out of the house why not go for a walk? Is it because doing something for/by yourself is seen as selfish (even by yourself), while before the commute was imposed by your job, so you could enjoy that alone time guilt-free?
Look like one of the panels is damaged too -- what's the story on that?
Why not put the 1% largest pages up for manual review? I think it there is some merit to the idea that they are sometimes made overly broad to give cover for some actions by blaming them on the automated system and ignoring pleas for reinstation.
I found that GoPro Hero 9 has a webcam mode, works quite well and the quality is really good. However it is more expensive than regular webcams, but if you already have one , use it as a webcam.
> But is that representative of all policing? Are police departments, as a concept, unethical?

In their current state, yes. Tough on Crime, War on Drugs, and the prison-industrial complex are unwarranted and destructive.

> (which BTW are predominately one-party democracies, just not the party that's popular to hate), that can democratically change. It's not a dictatorship. [...])

State and local governments that don't change party-wise are much worse, as their actions are even less accountable; there's no reason to improve.

> in light of right-wing extremism, domestic surveillance is increasingly developing bipartisan approval

It used to be assumed we had domestic privacy; it's Snowden's revelations that let us know we don't have such rights. Now we've found ourselves in violation of Article 12 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
> How is avoiding Christmas inclusive? Everyone knows what country we're in and that most people celebrate Christmas, so why would anybody be offended by saying "Merry Christmas"? This matters because if you don't see it as an "inclusive" move, then it just comes off as a way to snub people who do celebrate Christmas.

If I'm Jewish in America, I'm used to people talking about Christmas, so I'm probably not gonna be offended by it anymore, but if someone said something to me about the right holiday I would probably appreciate it.

Whether "happy holidays" vs "Merry Christmas" counts for much instead - since it's still no more personalized to me, especially when still wrapped in red and green - I can't really say myself, since I celebrate Christmas personally, but I don't have any reason to disbelieve the non-Christians who've told me they appreciate things like that. It's something to say "hey, we realize that you exist!"
> they are about the only way to comply except pure BEVs

On paper. In reality [0][1] unless you drive all electric all or most of the time the actual, real life CO2 emissions are far worse. Because now you have an ICE engine that hauls around an extra battery and electric motor, occasionally inefficiently charging the battery by burning gasoline.

Many (most?) PHEVs owners don't have charging at home (reason to buy hybrid), and the rest of the charging infrastructure is far more inconvenient to use than a gas station. Depending on where you live it may also prove more expensive to drive electric. Add to this the small battery and you see why most of them are driven mostly in ICE mode.

This being said, if I were in the market for a new car I really wouldn't care about what the government promises will happen in 2030. I'd look around to see what makes sense for me. Is the government doing anything about it? Are they heavily investing in making this a reality (new chargers, new electrical infrastructure, etc.)? Talk is cheap.

Per your own link, 50% of a barrel of oil goes to gasoline production. If by, "ultra-low sulfur distillate", they mean diesel fuel for road going vehicles, that increases the percentage dedicated to motor vehicle transportation to 75%.

That is pretty staggering. If automotive transportation consumes somewhere between 50-75% of crude oil production, then the fallout from the reduction in that market is going to be very significant. There's no way that growth in the ammonia and rubber boots sector is going to be enough to capture the production excess left by EVs.

Your link has me pretty well convinced that the gasoline market collapse will be swift and extreme.
Wake up, Neo.

I guess one more cynical read of the same suggestion is that, having failed to gather the political will to modernize our power infrastructure, we're grasping at straws by suggesting that we can piggyback off of private consumption to cobble together some of the same benefits.

In 2018, in the case South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc. [1] the Supreme Court overturned Quill Corp. v. North Dakota and National Bellas Hess Inc. v. Department of Revenue of Illinois, which were the cases that had previously established that remote sellers without a physical presence in a state could tell the state to shove off if it demanded they collect sales tax (or use tax), and upheld South Dakota's law that required remote sellers to pay tax if they has sales of at least $100k or at least 200 transactions.

A large number of other states have followed South Dakota's lead, and went with $100k or 200 transactions for their sales tax nexus laws.

Parent here. I suppose my beliefs are more nuanced than what I specified in my post.

> You should use the UI elements that make sense. It doesn't make sense for Maya or Blender or Photoshop to constrain themselves to whatever Microsoft picked out for them to use.

The nuance in my beliefs is that if UI elements aren't available for the function, then apps should absolutely build custom UI. I agree with you there.

It's when you have a basic app that can entirely use native controls and chooses to forego them to do everything custom that I have a problem with.

For my particular example, we were building a cryptocurrency wallet for a new blockchain. It was simple enough to use entirely native controls but definitely didn't need a custom UI.
My suspicion would be that more tech workers leave Australia for the US than move there, and if the government were to combine kicking Google out with domestic industry programs it could have a positive effect on retaining talent.
It's not clear to me whether this is the cause or effect though.

I don't know how to present this theory in a falsifiable way, but I get the distinct feeling that a lot of these culture war battles are conjured up out "weak man" arguments in a hyper-real manner.

Buzzfeed writes an article about how conservative nuts (more properly a single conservative nut) is boycotting Starbucks because there's no Madonna in their latte foam. Blue tribe clicks the article and laughs at Red Tribe for being so stupid. Red tribe clicks the article and decides "Blue tribe is laughing, at us!". Red tribe grifter starts accepting donations to buy Starbucks cups and throw them into a paper shredder. Blue tribe starts a Foundation for Freedom from Religious Latte Art demanding depictions of Satan in their lattes. Suddenly everyone has extremely strong feelings about something as absurd as whether or not there should be a Madonna depicted in their latte.

In many cases, it seems the original nut turns out to be someone who spent most of their life at reality TV auditions.
If someone is a 4 hour drive away, they don't have any feel for the community and are essentially limited to doing vague party line sort of things. I want my representatives to represent ME and the needs of our community, not just focused on generic issues that affect the whole state.

As an example:

Our representative managed to snag a chunk of funding for a local park here which will benefit the community. Without being local, would he have even known there was an opportunity to build the trails and help fund this?
Really? Rarely? I remember this being one of the few top-billed reasons why micropayments "will never work", to the point where it was the #1 thing I would always have to address in every discussion of our product.

So, on such note; when you turn on the light when entering a room, do you have anxiety thinking about how that costs money? We are constantly making tiny momentary transactions without thinking about it at all: the issue is UI, not transactions.

> Butchering a deer is a fun and educational project for the whole family

I would find it gross and traumatic to the point where I might lose my lunch. I eat meat, but if I had to butcher my own meat I'd go vegetarian.

I like your solution though, I'm surprised that the market doesn't just solve the problem to the point where we're worried about there being too few deer - is hunting limited or is there not enough demand for venison?
NK has very limited arsenal, there's enough redundant sensors and monitoring systems to verify their launches + midcourse defense to intercept (for now). I hope planners have revisited doctoring to account for new detection tech - more comprehensive, redundant and rapid compared to the cold war - and have formulated different response models to different actors. Right now only Russia has enough nukes to threaten second strike that would warrant immediate retaliation.

IMO modern monitoring in general skews conservative responses, it would be pretty rare for malfunctions across multiple detectors to show multiple launces / full mad scenario that require immediate counter-strike. It's almost worth taking risk of hypothetical hit and then counterstrike with certainty then retaliate prematurely on false alarms.
Nice, I was genuinely curious about this, and it seems like a solid strategy!
In political stories it constantly happens that someone is quoted as a man on the street, but then you look them up and they're actually the head of the state party or some such thing. It's surprising that the writer would lie about their credential but still leave their real names in.
