You can’t gauge cost per mile without taking resale value into account, and tesla resale value is great, while the Volt? Not so much.... I’d bet if you owned each vehicle for 3-4 years then sold and actually did the math, the tesla would be ahead.
From another commentor[0] about a ~month ago when this came up then:

> Progressive Web Apps are not a standard. Rather, it is the idea that a an application - presented through a web browser - can use additional features provided by browser _if_available_. The term is based on the concept of "Progressive Enhancement".

> Everyone's pet feature - service workers, single site browsers, offline mode, push notifications, video codec support - gets branded "PWA" in their rant that such and such browser is not keeping up. However, writing your web application to require a feature that not all of the common browsers support means fundamentally your application is _not_ written for progressive enhancement.

> The reality is that the term "Progressive Web Apps" was coined by Google as they started pushing harder for web apps to perform like native apps - but at the time they had a strategic initiative to have web apps instead of native apps (ChromeOS and the ChromeBooks, pre Android support). None of the other browser or OS platform vendors have that level of strategic investment in supporting web apps as a new 'native' format - especially considering the security model is usually different than that of the native platform.

From the article:

> Ram Dass spends the first part of the book describing his journey. It involves a dive into the world of psychedelic drugs and their benefits and limitations. His experience essentially opens him up to Eastern mysticism.

There is some evidence that supports the notion that psychedelics increase openness to new ideas. This is the basis of psychedelic-assisted therapy, in which psychedelics are thought to make the patient more open to accepting the therapy intervention while unlearning their previously unhealthy thought patterns.

However, that openness to new ideas is a double-edged sword. People who use psychedelics in uncontrolled environments with excessive frequency can pick up a lot of strange ideas along the way.

Increasing one's openness to new ideas might be a good thing in the presence of a trained therapist or other well-meaning environments. However, it may become counterproductive in uncontrolled environments where users are prone to picking up conspiracy theories, new age mysticism, pseudoscience, or other misinformation that bombards us from all angles on modern social media.

Modern news article about psychedelics skew heavily toward the positives while burying the risks and downsides. For example, many people glorify Kary Mullis, inventor of PCR and 1993 noble prize winner, for his love of LSD. Few people know that he also believed he talked to a glowing raccoon in the forest, was a climate change denier, and didn't believe that HIV was related to AIDS. Being too open to new ideas is not unilaterally positive.

> If you want to argue that he doesn't know that his tweets affect the market, the SEC has already determined that it does

The SEC found that as CEO his public statements are considered official announcements, but that doesn’t really say anything about him “being able to affect the market” in general. I believe that would not actually be market manipulation because he was telling the truth - the regulations require fraud or misstatement (lies). They don’t technically require statements to have evidence or even be true, because people can be wrong.

> But note that this is different than saying "GME is going to $1000 because of <totally false and made up reasons>"

Exactly. Telling other people to invest in something because you believe they can make money at it is not market manipulation so long as you believe what you are telling them.

Where people think WSB could get into trouble is actually purchasing the shares - because what is perhaps illegal is the act of making a trade to drive up the price for short sellers and make them buy back stock - and some of them may have said things that show this intent.

However this version of manipulation is a very unclear concept - the plain reading of the law makes general trading to make money basically illegal, so it has been heavily interpreted by the courts and there is actually a circuit split on whether any otherwise valid trade can be illegal because of intent.

It seems like the argument gets a lot less interesting if the most-expanding interstellar civilizations don't spread at anywhere near the speed of light?

It's easy to think of reasons why this might be the case. There is acceleration, deceleration, and replication time, which seems like it would be substantial for any civilization that doesn't want to put most of its resources into replicating as fast as possible.
Customers and Accounts are not cyclic.

A customer has an account. The customer is the domain root. Hence there would be no accounts if there were no customers.

>This may not be terribly different than a German luxury make you could be cross shopping in the price range, but it’s something to bear in mind.

Definitely seems higher. I just checked the price for insuring a 2019 Mercedes-Benz E-Class (hybrid). It was 1350 €/year or 2100 €/year if I choose the premium coverage options. For a 2019 Tesla Model 3, the same prices were 2030 €/year and 2670 €/year.

2019 Tesla Model S was even worse at 2400 €/year and 3260 €/year. Model S is definitely more expensive than an E-Class, so I also compared to a 2019 Mercedes-Benz S-Class (hybrid), which was about 16,000 € more expensive to buy than the Model S. Got 1920 €/year and 3060 €/year.

(Premium coverage options were parking coverage, glass insurance, better write-off compensation and temp car coverage.)
It's not just analytics, but also expected level of support.

You can still buy win 10. The major point of the free win 8 upgrade was to let them avoid supporting the old version, which indicates the value of it to them was more than the cost of getting everyone to buy a new license.

Note that the free upgrade is not supposed to be transferable. New computer means new license, so you gotta pay.

This is the recommended default, and I assume it is for good reason, but I would caution against adopting this on faith. If you feel pain, try different positions out. I had the setup you recommend for many years. At first I started getting shoulder pain, and realized that I was stopping over to accommodate when looking down. I forced myself (at regular intervals, and modest cost to productivity) to have better posture, and to tilt my neck downward instead. It fixed the shoulder pain but my neck was uncomfortable. Not in pain, but constantly uncomfortable. I kept with it because I knew this was the "proper" ergonomics.

Then I realized: I spend most of my time staring at the bottom half, to bottom edge, of the screen. Typing in a terminal, adding functions at the bottom of a file, etc. I moved my monitor such that my eyes are almost dead-center, vertically, and haven't had any issues since, neither neck nor shoulders. I kept the improved posture too, so I'm sure that ultimately helped too.

I'm sure the recommended is recommended for a reason, and works for most, but hopefully my experience is useful to some.

They can tell that you got a phone number and use signal. Apart from when you first and last used signal (timestamp), as in sent messages, that's about all the info signal has on you, and can provide. That sounds pretty good. Even if it is tied to a physical identity. The fact that your content is sufficiently encrypted and cannot be tied to your identity, even by signal, means what you say is anonymized.
I still use my OP6 but I have to admit I regretted buying it from day 1, there are just too many small inconveniences/annoyances and thanks to the various OP data scandals the eternal feeling that China is watching. I've also never been happy with the camera and after about a year an update caused issues so that often the camera app freezes. With Linux it might live yet a few more years for me. But I'm not going to buy another OP or similar brand.
I'd think 6.5 hours is above or close to the average amount of sleep most people get.
While I always preached just buying the S&P one risk i've been seeing with it is if, a majority of investors just buy the S&P index, since the index is market cap weighted, it would just make the largest stocks in the index more expensive.

This would make the stocks that have less weight in the index or stocks outside the index relatively cheap and obviously offer better returns.

Anyone disagree?
I couldn't agree more. I think the key point is - 10x is not an identity. it's a state. one which can be depleted, and respectively also filled.

No it doesn’t?

Most charging can be done at night when power is both cheap and plentiful. The fact that only 5% of people work third shift is testament to this!

No one is pretending that ALL charging is at off-peak hours. But the fact is that not only can most charging be off-peak much of it will be. This is excellent news you should be happy about!

Another day another programming metaphor/analogy on HN.

It's like the quotation "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get." Yeah I already knew life is random, comparing it to another random thing only makes the quotation seem insightful when in reality nothing substantial was actually said.

HN is loaded with variations of programming/management metaphors.

Glyphosate itself was discovered back in the 50's; patents around that would have expired ~50 years ago.

The patents around glyphosate resistant soybeans expired five or ten years back; someone immediately produced and released an unencumbered version. (I don't think it's as popular as you'd think; the yields are a bit lower than the state-of-the-art varieties available now, and farmers purchase new seeds every year for a lot of reasons beyond patent encumbrance.)

Oh, I meant to emphasis on that "customerService depends on accountService and vice versa" thingy. While in my writings "accountService is a member of customer" is a form of customer depending on accountService.

But my main point is that it should not be written that way at all.

Semantically, if we must include the subject, it should be

`theService.createAccount(Customer, NewAccountData)`

Or replace theService with CustomerAccountService or whatever.

Writing that way, with functions depending on types, avoid getting tangled from the so-called account-customer cyclical dependencies. Because account and customer don't need to know each other until a function needs to know both of them. There's no such thing as `customer.getAccounts()` because in the end the query would roughly look like `getAccountsWhereCustomerIs(CustomerId)`.

You're not dumb. It's just me mis-writing due to the fact that I'm writing this at 4 in the morning lol. Or maybe I'm misinterpreted parent comment and that confuses you. In that case, I'm the dumb.

Show HN: Quadratic-vote-ranked list of gamestop short-squeeze narratives
What size monitors are those? I use a pair of 24" 4K monitors in roughly the same configuration as yours. 27" would definitely be too tall.

I find having a vertical 24" monitor to be super useful, especially for reading typical PDF files as an entire page fits nicely on the screen.

My vertical monitor is a bit closer to the desk, and the horizontal monitor is much higher than yours, about 7.5" above the desk. The bottom edges are not aligned; the vertical monitor bottom edge is about 5" below the bottom of the horizontal monitor, and its top edge is about 3" above the top of the horizontal monitor.

The top of horizontal monitor is just below my eye height. So the top of the vertical one is a couple of inches above that, but this is not a problem as I don't spend much time looking at the very top of that monitor.

Each monitor is tilted separately. The horizontal one is tilted back only slightly; the vertical one tilted more. So the center of each monitor is perpendicular to my line of sight.

At the moment I'm using the two monitors with a Linux desktop, but sometimes I connect them both to a ThinkPad for a three-monitor setup with the ThinkPad's display and keyboard. When I do this, I raise the horizontal monitor up another inch so the ThinkPad display tucks in underneath it.

With your horizontal monitor sitting so close to the desk, I have to wonder if your seating position may be too low? Are your forearms horizontal when typing? (Forgive me if I'm being nosy or presumptuous, just curious.)

One related tip for anyone reading this, regardless of your monitor arrangement: if you wear glasses, do not use progressive lenses at your computer. Instead, get a pair of single vision lenses with a fairly tall aspect ratio so they let you see the entire screen(s) without tilting your head back. Don't ask your optometrist for a "reading" prescription - that tends to be about a 16" distance, and your monitors are probably farther from your eyes than that. Measure the distance from your eyes to the monitors and get single vision lenses made for that distance.

Not all problem solving is search and not all search is problem solving. Some problems can be solved algorithmically with no search (e.g. computing a square root) and search can obviously be done in service of something other than problem-solving (unless you take the meaning of "problem" to be so broad as to apply to just about any activity).

I also intended the word "search" to be understood in a narrow technical sense:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_algorithm

[EDIT] Just to clarify, because I just realized that these two statements might seem contradictory:

"The fundamental approach to problem solving is search"

"Not all problem solving is search"

All problem solving can be cast as search, but some problems have heuristics that allow the correct branch of the search space to be chosen the first at every decision point with no backtracking required. The "search" becomes degenerate because no backtracking is ever required. The word "search" is generally reserved to apply only to algorithms that don't have such strong heuristics and do require backtracking.

I think that it is generally true for land based turbines. Turbines are so tall that wind conditions at hub height can't be easily estimated by what we experience on the ground. Here's a somewhat dated study that shows hourly patterns for wind generation on the ERCOT grid in Texas, which has the largest wind fleet of any state:

"The Relationship between Wind Generation and Balancing-Energy Market Prices in ERCOT: 2007–2009"

https://www.nrel.gov/docs/fy11osti/49415.pdf

See Figure 5. Hourly generation reaches a minimum from about 1:00 to 5:00 PM and reaches its maximum around 1:00 AM.

Offshore wind output changes less from short term day-night cycles, and generally achieves a higher capacity factor. It is also more expensive to build than onshore wind and no large projects have yet been built for the US, though several are on the drawing board.
