I'm quite curious, most of my co-workers (and me) drive Teslas and there has yet been any drive train issues in any of ours. Two of them have gone over 500.000 km. But what I see is pure anecdotal.

All I can find is statistics on general repairs not drive train specifically and even here tesla is quite high but not on par with Toyota. Audi seems to be one of the worst actually.

Multi-chat clients had limited appeal by design because non-techies were more likely to just pick whatever service was the most convenient to them. Seems expected that it would be the techie folks consolidating all their friends because they were more willing to use multiple services than the average non-tech user. Even Trillian was fairly niche by comparison, just far less so than Pidgin.

Pidgin's psychic mode plugin was great fun, though.
You might have to bite the bullet and get a mac - I don't see much promise from others in this space.

Intel's CEO change may save them, but they're definitely facing an existential threat they've failed to adapt to for years.

Amazon will move to ARM on servers and probably some decent design there, but that won't really reach the consumer hardware market (probably - though I suppose they could do something interesting in this space if they wanted to).

Windows faces issues with third party integration, OEMs, chip manufacturers and coordinating all of that. Nadella is smart and is mostly moving to Azure services and O365 on strategy - I think windows and the consumer market matter less.

Apple owns their entire stack and is well positioned to continue to expand the delta between their design/integration and everyone else continuing to flounder.

AMD isn't that much better positioned than Intel and doesn't have a solution for the coordination problem either. Nvidia may buy ARM, but that's only one piece of getting things to work well.

I'm long on Apple here, short on Intel and AMD.

We'll see what happens.

> But what were some of effects of his policies to an internet user like me. I didn't see anything different.

On neutrality, that's unsurprising, largely because nothing has changed with stability sufficient to justify major expenditures. Neutrality was an FCC policy goal pursued/enforced by different means for a long time, and even before the repeal went into effect there was talk of legal challenges and state replacements to it; several states in fact have adopted there own net neutrality laws, and the legal challenges to the FCC repeal (which failed to negate the repeal itself, but did strike down the attempt to preempt state neutrality laws) didn't end until the middle of last year. So, just as before, the status quo is most fixed broadband providers acting basically neutral with comparatively modest (and not systematic across the market) deviations, waiting to see how the regulatory landscape eventually stabilizes and trying to avoid provoking negative responses that might tip the balance against themselves, and many mobile providers being decidedly non-neutral (even where the most recently repealed Open Internet Order would have imposed some requirements on them, though previous neutrality approaches did not.)

> What changes will I see as an internet consumer with this new appointment.

Well, basically none, because the FCC isn't going to take any new policy direction other than perhaps in response to new issues without strong partisan divides when it's 2-2, no matter who the chair is.

When the vacant seat is filled, then you might see some policy changes.

It’s amazing how envious one can be of another’s suffering. I really want nothing more than to be driven and stressed about if I should relax more. I’m moderately successful at whatever I do, but I could be so much more if I could find a way to apply myself even 10%. Instead I always take the low commitment, easy money, do the minimum required route. It’s so natural.I’m sure it sounds nice to many people but I despise myself for it.
Wow, does this apply to Covid tests?
100% agree about grid modernization and resilience being high priorities, but as I pointed out in another comment, the economies of scale for renewables are really really massive (utility scale solar is about half the unit cost of residential and commercial rooftop solar). Transmitting power long distance also partially solves intermittence problems with renewables by allowing overcapacity in one region to power extra demand in another. A bunch of good points for sure, but if I had to bet, I would guess that the future of our energy system involves far more long distance transmission and large installations.

Wanting to see one's colleagues is not narcissism. There's a valid accessibility reason as being able to see the other person helps people with hearing challenges and also, it's pretty rude to refuse to let yourself be seen.

I never understood people who "didn't want to be seen" on camera during meetings (especially meetings with hearing accessibility issues) because those same people were willing to work in the physical workplace. The way I see it, if you refuse to be seen in a virtual meeting, you should _also_ refuse to be seen in person as well.

By divulging the higher end of the range, the company instantly looses with less experienced candidates that could be content with their work if not for the fact, now there are two posibilities:

1. The candidate will ask closer to the upper end of the range but will get declined. Both company and candidate lost because divulging the upper end created unrealistic expectation by the candidate.

2. The candidate will or will not ask closer to the upper end and if he asks, the company declines and proposes more realistic rate. Now, both still loose because the candidate is "tainted" by thinking the company did not think he is worth the money and that he could get so much more.

The alternative is to have very narrow range but this is also suboptimal, because it is better to be flexible and once you get to know the candidate figure out where he/she fits.

Asking for rate at the beginning also allows to fine-tune the recruitment process. The company should NEVER propose less than what the candidate stated as their minimum. That's just a way to get an unhappy employee from day one. So, by specifying your rate you also specify minimum requirements you have to pass for the company to be interested in you. If you say you are expensive, that's the standard you are going to be evaluated against.
I would argue that animals _do_ "push" themselves, but only in certain areas. Mate-selection competition among mammals being the first area that comes to mind, see [1]. There is no set goal of "enough" in that category(unlike, say, gathering N nuts to last through winter).

Do you guys remember Meebo? They had web based interface built on top of libpurple which powers Pidgin too.

These ruminations miss such an obvious point: We are well past the point of dependence on AIs that can be turned off. Were these people not paying attention to the US headlines since 2016? And even in the last month?

Huge corporations, whose primary legal responsibility is to make money ("fiduciary responsibility to our shareholders") cannot turn off a large number of AIs because their financial existence (aka existence) depends on them. Those overlooked US politics headlines are an existence proof of this point.

Go see the movie Brazil. The plot involves someone mistakenly victimized by an dystopian state when some info processing goes slightly wrong, (a typo). We now have AI that is highly error-prone (e.g. facial recognition errors), treated as infallible (by bureaucrats and politicians wanting clearcut answers to questions -- who committed this offense?), and addictive (see above).

That is our problem with AI, and it exists right now.
Probably, but I'd say it's not far off from reality for many behavior and perspective wise. I think it unnecessarily transfers the behavior to misogyny (could easily be anyone/any sex), but that's the perspective many hold for those in tech: a means to an end. The addition of sex in the description definitely wasn't needed.

Have you ever watched squirrels go after food in a feeder? Lots of YT videos of people setting up insane obstacle courses that squirrels learn to run through.

OMG. I had forgotten. What a mess. Politics is a drag
I think there are cases where that happens - but I also think we can't underestimate how much reactionary sentiment has stoked this polarization outcome as well. Politicians have learned that "fear of the other guy" can be just as powerful of a motivator (if not more so) to get turnout. So they know that in some cases running an extreme "anti candidate" improves their chances of winning - if only because it energizes the base that is most afraid, and thus most likely to turn out.

For this issue in particular, I think ranked choice could be a huge help.
Totally. Let me know if you have any feedback or ideas :)

Yes, you’re paying with your data already. But you’re generally not able to ask to be paid for it. We’re treating peoples data like a public good that anyone can profit off of - except the individual who owns and generates it. That’s why there's got to be a way to make it possible for the market to properly manage this market on its own-once the market participants are given a legally reinforced way to interact as a market with supply and demand.

Structured Exception Handling Exploits
I dig the idea of self reliance and preparedness, but like you pointed out, fossil fuels and small generators solve the problem really well. In most places in the US, the grid is pretty reliable so optimizing the system for those handful of days/year doesn't seem prudent. Granted, some places (looking at you California) have a lot of work to do on reliability.
> “Salt is just our first model substance to probe the fundamentals of nucleation events,” said University Professor Eiichi Nakamura. “Salt only crystallizes one way. But other molecules, such as carbon, can crystallize in multiple ways, leading to graphite or diamond. This is called polymorphism and no one has seen the early stages of the nucleation that leads to it. I hope our study provides the first step in understanding the mechanism of polymorphism.”

I'm amused that Chemists / Physicists also have the word "Polymorphism" and that it means something completely different from the programming term.

Unsurprising. Old economies have old power structures. They suppress disruptors as much as possible. This is why Europe - a continent generally as large and educated as America - has such few startups.

Most startups have been great for the world. Google, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Apple. They've made our world so much better.

But old power structures are all about the status quo.

Strictly, this particular thing isn't why the next such useful startup won't be from France. It just showcases the way that country's power structures operate. They're heavily status quo oriented. It's always about "how do we pay the current church its tithe".

> Another issue as mentioned is that per-control CSS skinning breaks easily with custom themes. Instead of using system colors devs often hard-code a custom look.

After years of using MacOS, I made a commitment this year to use, support, and develop for Linux on a regular basis.

Starting off with little knowledge of GTK, I progressed from "hello world" to working on my first app, but end user customization has always been close to my heart, so naturally I started looking at what it takes to bring a GTK desktop app from "stock system UI" to "developer and user themable".

All this to say, it could be my inexperience, but I'm finding that GTK seems to be very much "all or nothing" here. I can use all the default widgets and be 100% native, and I can "* { background-color: pink; }" my way into a blank canvas, but if I want to make custom controls that build on the user's system theme and whatever accessibility he/she has set up for him/herself, I'm on my own to make my best guesses.

There's no reliable way to determine whether the user is scaling text, using a dark or light theme, or something super high contrast for accessibility. I can try to query some built in widgets and make decisions from there, but I've found that quite flaky as well.

Moreover, even finding which classes to assign to widgets to "piggy back" off the common system colors when building my own widgets is a chore of hunting through themes like Adwaita to find the piece of the system widget I'm trying to utilize. It's not quite WPF "copy the entire widget's XML and re-implement it from scratch to customize it" bad, but for as powerful as the CSS support seems to be in GTK, it feels like there's a layer in between "full system UI" and "total rebrand" that's missing.

Salt is weird.

Oddly salt can at times improve IIH. But it’s not something to mess around with.

Basically too much water causes organs to swell. Most organs handle this well enough. Brain will swell, but has no room to do so.

A big dose of salt will draw water out of organs, including brains.

Very good medical case I read up on, but can’t find now.

A lot of Sjogrens people recommend adding pink salt to water or other hydration packs.

Pure water seems to worsen dehydration.
I have found this to true.

Be careful as this is a complicated thing, and can hurt yourself by having too much or too little.
It's close calls like these that make me especially concerned that North Korea now has nuclear weapons. MAD works fine, as long as you assume both sides are perfectly rational and competent. But even when countries put great effort into safety and control, accidents happen. And sometimes the only thing that stops Armageddon is someone using common sense, and remembering that the other side is human too. North Korea is well known for cutting corners, and they have a population largely insulated from the outside world, under strict totalitarian rule. When their radar malfunctions and says a dozen nukes are inbound, how likely is it that some officer is going to realize that just doesn't make any sense, and go against orders trying to confirm it?

Why are phones allowed to have bulges and chins and notches, but laptops somehow are too "thin" to do the same? For that matter, why hasn't anyone made a laptop screen with a centre notch? people accepted that for phones and now every large manufacturer of phones use notches in their phones.

Laptops are much larger and heavier so it's really doable to include a better camera.

You know, for all of the people that complain about Communism/Marxism/Socialism -- Open Source Software, at the very least, IS Communism, Marxism, Socialism -- in practice...

Disclaimer: I do not believe in the absoluteness of any "ism" (Communism/Marxism/Socialism, etc.), I believe in neutrality, that everything's relative, and that "There's a time and a place for everything" (You know, like that old song by "The Byrds": "Turn!, Turn!, Turn!").

But, people who understand Open Source -- cannot deny the many ways that these "Communist/Marxist/Socialist" ideas

Have innumerably benefitted and helped and advanced our Capitalist economy...

Think of it this way, Silicon Valley wouldn't be half of what it is today -- without Open Source...

If we didn't have Open Source, we'd arguably be at least 10 years behind where we are today in the technological advancement curve...

I speak for no ideology...

I merely observe sometimes paradoxical truths...

(And yes, I think we all agree that Communism/Marxism historically has not scaled well for Governments... but that's a different non-Economic, non-Software discussion...)

You fundamentally never have control over your contact, and an honest piece of software doesn't put you in a position to make you believe you ever somehow do.
If you're porting between two languages/frameworks with radically different approaches, preserving the original project's approach in the new code is going to give you something that's probably worse than the original!

Now when you hire someone new you're going to be looking for React experience but then having to re-train them to think in .NET, or looking for .NET experience but training them to write React... and any time you have dependency upgrades, you're gonna be fighting more impedance mismatches.

Most tech debt that slows down feature development has more to do with the code structure than with the language or framework, so if you're intent on preserving the structure and style I don't know that you should be doing a rewrite at all!

This is an odd perspective to see on ycombinator. The negation of knowledge as a fundamental concept is nihilism. I find it very hard to accept that "alternative facts" are true. A lie is an assertion that is believed to be false.
