But you can! Get a portable Honda generator [1] and plug into it with a mobile connector to charge (my Tesla can charge from a 120V 15a circuit, or a 220v dryer outlet). If that doesn’t provide you enough charge, find a surplus generator on a trailer [2] and haul it behind you with a hitch. If it’s a diesel, you can even run it on vegetable oil instead of petroleum.

When you’re not going to the boonies, you’re fully electric without dragging a generator with you, and can rely on charging stations.

> so if a newspaper (NYT or other) withholds information that another media also has access to, then another media will likely publish the story anyway

It doesn't necessarily have to be a cable. It could be rigid. You could even have a platform which moves the car up to the charger. I could see some sort of telescoping arm made of teflon though.
Reminder on this.
Me recently getting into Dune has altered my perception...
I think I get where you're coming from, and I agree with you on infrastructure spend, etc. Totally, 100% agree. My city has embarked upon a 30 year upgrade of its rail network, for example, and we're already seeing vast improvements, 5 years in.

My problem with Greenwald in general and his recent articles in particular, is that he does apparently believe in context. He is the very model of a flag-waving, freedom-lover who believes that any loss of freedom by any individual going forward is unthinkable. Whether that individual is a corporation (such as his defense of Facebook whose perverse incentives of using conflict and polarisation to drive daily usage have driven much of this conflict) or an actual, factual person who has committed crimes and is now decrying that they should be kept from committing others, does not seem to sway him.

Freedoms are not absolutes. Freedoms are constructs, and spectrum-based at that. Greenwald seems to think that they are atomic, and that splitting them in the face of real need is the scarlet mark of a militaristic thug.

Laws are required to deal with right-wing terrorism, which is the biggest terrorist threat the US (and the West) faces. Much of the incitement of this threat is coming from social media and traditional media organisations who make money and pander influence through exaggerating fears and stoking hatred. Laws are required to tackle these issues five days ago, yet Greenwald thinks that reusing old (somewhat imperfect) laws now is a plot to wage a new domestic war, rather than a way of getting action happening today while coming up with better alternatives (or not) tomorrow.

Lastly, a President who calls on terrorist groups to "Stand down and stand by" and who later calls on them to "Stop the steal", a President who lies about whether elections were fair, who lies about having a COVID vaccination plan (preferring, as we saw today, to have literally nothing prepared or ready), a President who steals and grifts and offers pardons to criminals who have paid him - well, let me say, anyone who defends such a President is either an idiot, or has an ulterior motive for their shirt-rending, freedom spewing diatribe.

Context matters. And context shows Greenwald to be an ass.
Some carbon offset credits are not doing anything
Toyota had the first mass produced hybrid vehicle in 1997 with the Prius. Today, they have hybrid vehicles for all of their passenger cars, and class leading MPG in most of them. They are #1 in terms of sales volume for hybrid vehicles.

They have a fully sorted fuel cell vehicle in the Mirai, based upon technology that is no more expensive to produce than an ICE.

They are late to the game on EV's, but the entire market is still in its early days.

You can bet that once the battery technology becomes cheap enough to stuff into cars with Corolla price tags, Toyota will be doing it, and they will be the #1 seller of EV's in terms of sales volume.
They are not telling a democracy! what to do. They are saying if you want to do a money grab we're out.
GoodEggs is an example of grocery delivery without a base store. They were struggling pre-pandemic but I bet they’re doing ok now.
The classic business book on disruptive innovation, produced before the Prius existed, shows that people who cared actually knew better.

EVs were not viable until battery technology improved enough. Batteries have been improving about 7%/year. Based on those figures from the 1990s and an estimate of minimum acceleration, range, and recharge time to be acceptable on the road, EVs were predicted to become viable for the mass market around 2020.

Guess what. Those trends held and EVs became viable for the mass market around 2020. :-)

What about TV then? Doesn't the president conduct public business that way? PBS, for as great as it can be, isn't really the channels most people watch. Presidents communicate on private media all the time.

This just seems like there is a void that needs to be filled. Terrible as they may be, we can't have non-specialized platforms censoring politicians. There needs to a place where politician can speak their mind to the public and we can decide kick them out of office for their hate filled bullsh*t opinions when they do.

I'm not religious, but I would much rather trust a priest with the policing of public speech (and that gives me the worst kind of shivers). If you don't trust zuck/dorsey/bazos with your data, why would you trust them with this? It just feels like we are privatizing morality and the common good. Like a digital private police force.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but this isn't a reasonably well packaged solution for people to use. What's the security of the generator sitting outside my car all night? It needs to be an integrated solution.
This is gonna suck for Tesla. More and more competitors are jumping at the EV market with their own unique brands.

The idea that Tesla has an economic moat is laughable. GM also thought they were untouchable. Where are they now?
The touchbar doesn't have physical buttons.

Physical buttons are critical. That's the key difference between an MFD and a touchscreen. The touchbar is a one-dimensional touchscreen, with most of its downsides.

This isn't to say that displays on the buttons themselves are bad. But we pay way too little attention to the ergonomics of fine motor control and tactile/muscle memory. If you look at the article linked in this post, the key point being made is how hard it is to hunt for a featureless touchscreen button while your wrist is in the air being jostled around by turbulence. You don't have to be a pilot to appreciate interfaces that go easy on your fine motor skills though. Any action that requires extended use of fine motor skill (like holding your wrist in the air while hitting a tiny spot) will be at minimum tiring (both mentally and physically), and maybe impossible for children and the elderly.

An MFD with a wrist rest, uneven button spacing/sizing/tactile patterns, rotary controls in the corners, and maybe button LEDs to color-code functions in addition to on-screen labels, would be superior to the touchbar. Actually, the numpad on "full-size" keyboards is tantalizingly close to that in some ways - it would be great if someone took a full-size keyboard and replaced the numpad with something that sort of looks like it but is functionally an MFD.

By the way, all keyboards already have tactile pattern aids - the little bumps on the F and J keys that let your fingers quickly know if they're correctly positioned on the home row. Everyone knows that, but it's just a glimpse of what's possible if we invest more in tactile interfaces.
But we are looking: there is enormous interest in discovering more interstellar objects. It's estimated there should be about ~1000 such objects in the solar system at any given time, and they all represent priceless data about the material composition of the universe outside of our solar system.

People weren't not looking for them, but by their nature no one knows a way to find them reliably (other then, find all the things, look for anything which has a hyperbolic trajectory relative to the sun).

Same problem with an intercept plan: we would like to do it, but the problem is not particularly tractable with our current space technology. Up until we saw Oumuamua we didn't even have a baseline for what we might expect the behaviour of objects to be - which is a problem when you're coming up with a propellant budget for a space mission, since you have no idea how much fuel or weight you can afford for an intercept.

As it stands, we probably need to see a couple more Oumuamua-like objects to develop a reasonable expectation of the frequency of different classes and come up with a mission-profile which we can reasonably expect we'd be able to launch at one in the next 20-40 years. Or a way of establishing a permanent capability (which is not focused research its "yes, let's build the lunar gateway station and develop a long-term La Grange point mode for the Starliner - which is also something which you'd do if you were colonizing Mars).

This is my point: nothing here benefits from "it was aliens" as a starting point. In fact, all of this useful work is pretty explicitly "it's probably not aliens". Because if aliens have gone to the expense and trouble to scout the solar system, then we basically don't need to do any of it - "it was aliens" closes research paths. If we're sure it's aliens, then a much more cost-effective strategy is waiting for them to send another probe that assuredly would move in to study the most interesting thing in Sol - us. Which will be much easier to see because we look closely for Earth-orbit objects.
Parler appears to have had an inefficient architecture that required an absurd amount of compute power to run compared to their customer base. Apparently they were running one hundred metal instances for their database alone; speculation on Twitter was that they’re struggling to find someone who can give them that much capacity in a hurry.

I have been using Docker powered desktop environment for development on WSL2. Didn't have any issue except that I couldn't access the containers via their internal IPs inside WSL2.
None of this is new. GNU was founded and developed its licenses to address this issue. But there’s a tradeoff. One that GNU happily accepts. But there has never been a “code of honor” in this space. Give me a break. Companies have been offering Apache- and GPL- licensed software as a service for longer than Elastic has been a company. Elastic wanted to have its cake and eat it too. They overplayed their hand here and now they’re paying the price. They’ll likely soon lose control of the code base. But that’s the whole point of open source.
“Loon is focused on bringing connectivity to unserved and underserved communities around the world. We are in discussions with telecommunications companies and governments worldwide to provide a solution to help extend internet connectivity to these underserved areas.”

LTE was _how_ Loon was doing it, not _what_ Loon set out to do.

In 2015 Google invested 900 million in SpaceX to help kick off Starlink for the same goal as Loon https://www.theinformation.com/articles/google-nears-major-i... and now that the Starlink beta has been a success Loon is shutting down. Hard to pass that off as coincidence.
I don't necessarily disagree with the hardware capex vs bandwidth tradeoff, but I don't think either of us are aware of their balance sheet to reasonably claim if this is an insurmountable cost for the business today or not. Paying for several thousand servers, getting them up and running, and tuning them isn't exactly a trivial effort... and then you have to deal with bandwidth.
> So the percentage of 'terrorist' attacks that occurred have shifted towards right wing extremist groups... of course that either requires that we don't classify certain destructive behaviors by certain groups of people as terrorism (because they aren't convenient), or we are misclassifying right wing behaviors as terrorism (because it is convenient).

Or maybe you're conflating terrorism and protest? I expect statistically there's been an increase in right wing extremist attacks in the past year so the shift is most likely real. Case in point, Nashville. I can't think of any other group that's executed an domestic attack as destructive as that one was since 9/11. And I don't think it wrong to classify that as right wing terrorism.
White House: Biden wore no mask as 'he was celebrating'
Thought I saw a Jalopnik article about Bentley or Rolls Royce inventing that exact thing, but I can't find it now. The idea being, if you're a billionaire, you don't want to do something low class like plugging in your car.
> Ignoring the very next paragraph that says AWS can terminate with no notice. Their own response to that point in the reply brief was pitiful.

This is the part I don't understand. Did they really think no one would notice it?
At this point, we actually do know how to scale a social media site though, and if you’re making a new one you should anticipate such exponential growth.

It seems they did not set a sufficient foundation for such a possibility, and got caught unprepared.
Looking for co-founders for my upcoming JavaScript project
I'm working on an amazing project to build a platform to help small JS developers distribute their micro services to Slack users without the hassle of having to maintain servers. I have a prototype code, but I require a few more javascript developers who can help me out with making this a reality. Anyone interested can drop me a mail at hey@ayushpa.tk
He kinda buried the lede:

> Having bashed the interface, the way this jet displays information to you is incredible. The sheer amount of situational awareness I gain from this aircraft and its displays is like nothing I’ve experienced before. The off-boresight helmet is much more accurate than legacy JHMCS systems and I find it clearer to read (although I still want a wide-angle HUD for flight and fight-critical data!). About the only thing missing from the whole cockpit is the lack of ‘feel’.

The prevailing narrative on HN and elsewhere (that seems to be a US DoD disinfo campaign) is that the JSF is an overpriced, overcomplicated piece of junk. Then there are these murmurs (largely from actual operators) leaking the fact that the aircraft is actually "incredible."
His content is pretty unbiased , sitting on the fence most of the time, the topics however are geared to his audience.
Indeed: founded in 2000.

It's worth noting that off the back of Ocado's success, all major UK supermarkets also offer online delivery. And my understanding is that this is mostly serviced directly from stockrooms rather than going via store shelves (albeit individual store stockrooms).
Looking at a single machine (i3.large, 15GB ram, 470GB SD):

I host my own on a Rpi4... it works really well.
Of course, you could use a version management tool like nvm/rvm/asdf etc, but I think containerisation is also a neat alternative, as you would be able to use multiple versions for languages/tools and libraries within those languages for which a version management tool doesn't exist.
Has anyone investigated the nature and transmission of instinct?
I solved for your use case because it’s niche. People will either get a Prius or a Tesla, not this. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.
Weird, While I currently see none, I do see them logged out though.

Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like I might not be seeing the full picture logged in.
I don't know how exactly I found Slate Star Codex, but it has (had) been one of the scant handful of RSS feeds I've been subscribed to and enjoyed for quite a while.

I have a blog that I'd like to delete as well, but it was on Blogspot, and circumstances are such that I have no access to it whatsoever (thanks to the Google acquisition and the eminently unhelpful Google support), while it remains fully open to the public. My only hope now is to try and distance myself from it on the strength of how common my real name is.
I'm doing this with NordVPN on Linux ....
Seems OK so far...
Yeah to be fair I have a lot of specialized knowledge and experience around the high paying work. But under the hood the approach, methods, tools, and way of thinking are fundamentally identical. I get hired for the high paying stuff in part due to the domain expertise, but really I command that price because I’m $450 an hour better at the $50 an hour work than most other people with the domain expertise. Or maybe I just want to believe that.

Now you've got it! People are demonstrably still going for the 'not this' option. They buy a petrol or diesel car instead of an electric one.

That's the problem.

I've never heard of that man, but his post was a pleasant bit of my day and his writing is excellent. It's the first time in a long time I've properly went through a text linked on HN, front to back. My habit is to parse at break-neck pace, squeeze the meaningful marrow out of it and then go to the comment page to exercise my God-given right of inventing an opinion I didn't know I had a minute prior.

Good luck to him.
Thanks unicornporn for pointing out the world is a big place. Ive got no love for RIAA or MPAA. I am a little surprised that my stance wasnt more dominant on HN. Did everybody forget the litigation against p2p sharing software and raids of PirateBay and Megaupload?

I do think that federated services will finaly set media free. But I also expect that copyright holders will try their best to kill a few servers that are big enough to catch their attention.

"servers" in title but it seems that it's single. Is it correct? (Just curious, I'm non native for English)
For sure. I shared this in another comment earlier, but they literally were using a free trial of Okta [1] to secure prod. This is why all of their user data got leaked. Their code was written to fail open, so if Okta didn't respond for some reason to auth requests, access was granted by default.

Ok. That sort of lines up with "lack of docs" and "missing features" but maybe the bigger thing is the general impression and expectations.

Having spent much of last year pointing kafka at differential dataflow and watching kafka fall over or fail to start, I definitely feel like I would trust differential dataflow more. But I agree that nothing about the presentation of the project gives that impression.

"3 versions of a framework" is quite vague. Are those versions Linux/Windows/Mac? Because then Docker is not very useful.

Docker is not a general solution to this problem because it ties you intimately to Linux, whether directly, or through VMs, or compat layers.
I think Tesco I’m the UK has been doing it for a while now, but it looks like the economics make sense in more dense areas.

Ocado is building a business like Amazon warehouses, where they build warehouses and use their infra to provide fulfilment for other vendors.

They probably don’t have the personnel who know how to order, provision, and physically manage that kind of hardware. They’re a small startup, and going with AWS means that they probably don’t have any of the necessary skills to do that.
> Tesla sold 0.5M vehicles last year and is having trouble scaling up.

Tesla’s CAGR on number of vehicles produced from 2014 to 2020 has been 55%.

> “To put this number in perspective, Microsoft first broke $3 billion in sales in fiscal year 1993, generating $3.7 billion in revenue. ...Six years later Microsoft did $19.7 billion in revenue, which was a CAGR of 32.1%.”

Sustaining 55% CAGR for 6 years after hitting $3 billion is mind-numbing face-melting software monopoly level growth beyond what even M$FT achieved in its glory days.

It was thought this level of compound annual growth was simply just beyond the realm of possibility in the automotive sector, let alone the EV automotive sector.

The only thing that solves is the cabling issue, which quite frankly is the easy part of charging. You can always throw a larger connector, liquid cooling, etc at the problem. You're still going to charge them all the same way. The amount of heat generated by charging the battery would remain exactly the same, which is the biggest limitation.
Did they actually want a free speech platform? I thought they were known for booting lefties off the platform.
Why does Elastic deserve to be deferred to here, though. They are making the license overly restrictive. Now I can’t start my own ELK stack hosting company. Meanwhile Amazon will likely benefit more users by keeping ES and Kibana open in a way that encourages their use and encourages contribution. I’m certainly not going to submit patches for Elastic’s forks now.
