I would also assume that most of the cars electronics that aren't propulsion based are manufactured and designed by parts suppliers that base their experience and design around the 12v batteries. Giving them a similar power supply means not having to redesign the cars electronics specifically for Tesla.
Ha ha, you and me too. Grew up in a single-parent home where mom was a "secretary" (remember that?).

I've been a blue-collar programmer (not Software Engineer) my entire career.

I think they're finally on to me though and I may have to skip out soon. Code reviews, unit tests and Scrum are not my thing anyway. ;-)
It's not a perfect remedy, but you have to loop in the people affected by decisions as part of the decision making structure. That is, for example, customers and workers have to be part of the management structure.

This doesn't happen because it would reduce the power of top decision makers and potentially impact profits. e.g. a customer might ask for a chronologically ordered timeline on Facebook, but that would harsh engagement metrics, revenue, etc. If stuff like this did happen more often though, you'd get products and services that more often achieve their stated aims.
Ad Hoc | Frontend, backend, infra / DevOps engineering | REMOTE (within USA) | Full-time | US Citizenship required

Ad Hoc is trying to make federal government better by fixing its tech from the inside. We work on Healthcare.gov, VA.gov, and many other public web services, and focus on bringing product and technology best practices into government agencies. No defense or intelligence work, just civic services.

We're a remote-first company, a culture fully on Slack, a bunch of civically-minded weirdos with a strong sense of work-life balance and coworkers scattered all over the country. We look for people who are open-minded, empathetic, think of the user first, and who genuinely want to improve government services for citizens. Come help us make that happen!

I'm the Engineering Director at Ad Hoc and happy to talk with anyone who wants to learn more about Ad Hoc or generally about doing modern tech in government. Feel free to reach out to me directly (email in profile), or apply at https://adhoc.team/join/. Let's chat!
Add the numbers up and it's pretty hard to get TCO on a car driven 15,000 miles/year in the US much below about $3500/year, even if you do as much work as possible yourself, buy junkyard parts, etc. If you're capable of getting that number down very much, you're probably capable of making enough money that you don't have to.

TCO on a decent and highly reliable new compact, for comparison, is about $5000-$6000/year. (Check Edmunds) At $400-$500/month in TCO you should have no car worries. But if you don't have that extra $100+/month, or can't get into a new or certified used car for whatever reason, that does you no good.

Having been raised to be frugal, and having been broke, I totally sympathize with the car trouble thing. That said, a lot of people make irrational decisions about cars, and that can include trying to be frugal.

I've been hit by this behaviour just a few days ago with the fantastic libfuzzer, which finds much more errors than afl++ or honggfuzz in much less time. But it's buffer strategy is enoying, leading to inefficiency and artificial sscanf bugs. Problem is, oss-fuzz/libfuzzer gives you a const char* buffer without zero termination. In reality every such input buffer is zero terminated, because otherwise strtol or sscanf are worthless and lead to buffer overflows. They don't even allow adding a zero at the end, so you have to copy the whole input buffer just to add your zero termination, which makes all the fuzzer speed advantages worthless.
>Not really, unintentional and/or harmless lies wouldn't be fraud.

Yes really. Intentional or unintentional lies to anyone would be considered fraud if we go by your ideas.

>Could you elaborate? What does fraud mean according to you?

It's not what it means according to me, it's the definition according to the law: "with intent to defraud". Changing or redacting documents without the intention of defrauding is by definition not fraud. QED.

Science Is the Engine That Pulls Humanity Forward
ScyllaDB: Project Circe February Update
The US is a large and very diverse place, and very frequently you will find that there are very clear laws about what a landlord is and isn't allowed to charge for, as well as what proof they need to take a deposit. For example, Seattle has its own set of rules which are quite clear and don't allow contracts that would override them, in other places there are no rules, and what is in the contract is what you must abide by.

The problem, that the author alluded to, is that there is no one that will solve or mediate a dispute short of taking a claim to court in the US. This is generally pretty cheap and easy for small claims, if you know what you are doing. Most people don't know what they are doing, or have no idea that small claims is even an option.

As an American who now lives in a place with socialized healthcare, I can safely say that I'm not moving back until the US sorts out the healthcare crisis. I'm in Canada now, which is used as a punching bag by conservative Americans for how bad socialized healthcare can be. Anyone who has lived in both places knows how laughable that claim is. Canadians certainly have their complaints about this system, but I have never heard a Canadian ask for US style healthcare.
It's more about the relative change in the weight of the factors. Luck has always been important, but often required extra effort to go with it. Generally if there was an opportunity to be seized you had to do some active seizing. The arena is now a lot more volatile and virtualized. The methods to capture surplus are a lot more random and granular. The surplus itself is bigger and more diversified. Lottery tickets are an old institution, but now you have tickets lying around in random chatrooms all over the place.

This is reflected in modern investing strategies. It's now all about throwing money and hoping some of it sticks to a unicorn.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_transparency

> An expression is called referentially transparent if it can be replaced with its corresponding value (and vice-versa) without changing the program's behavior. This requires that the expression be pure, that is to say the expression value must be the same for the same inputs and its evaluation must have no side effects.

> In mathematics all function applications are referentially transparent, by the definition of what constitutes a mathematical function. However, this is not always the case in programming, where the terms procedure and method are used to avoid misleading connotations. In functional programming only referentially transparent functions are considered.

> The importance of referential transparency is that it allows the programmer and the compiler to reason about program behavior as a rewrite system. This can help in proving correctness, simplifying an algorithm, assisting in modifying code without breaking it, or optimizing code by means of memoization, common subexpression elimination, lazy evaluation, or parallelization.

> The concept seems to have originated in Alfred North Whitehead and Bertrand Russell's Principia Mathematica (1910–13). It was adopted in analytical philosophy by Willard Van Orman Quine.

You end up with some things that stick with you even if they make no sense anymore and are a lot more suspicious of people's motives because you've seen how parts of society get away with some crap.

pulling that kind of wattage from a 12v car battery will destroy it in short order, and I’m not sure it can even discharge that fast.

Last time our power went out I charged my 48v ebike battery off of my leaf’s 12v, then used that to power a big inverter to run the fridge.

Now I have some dedicated solar that can charge the ebike, so no need for shenanigans.

Anyone looking to do this, there are challenges, and don’t do it with a battery that isn’t built for serious discharge (mine is 1.7kwh and rated for 3k watt bursts). Most off the shelf ebike batteries will not tolerate that kind of abuse.

I have over 10 years of technology project management experience. During that time I have co-founded and managed two non-profit makerspaces and successfully grown each into a thriving and lasting enterprise. Each of these organizations consisted of technically proficient members, mostly engineers. I was responsible for conflict resolution and diplomacy in order to keep dozens of members content with project strategies and objectives.

I have organized 3 years of Startup Weekend competitions with over 100 technology entrepreneurs purchasing tickets for each event. Our leadership team consisted of highly skilled and experienced technology professionals. I managed the events and the leadership teams for each event from start to finish. I raised the funds for producing each event (over $15k), and coordinated graphic design assets and marketing strategy, managed event venue sourcing and contracts, recruited angel/VC investors for judging, and much more.

I founded and organized the Google Developer Group for Charleston for 3 years. This was a team of software developers and we met on a monthly basis to share presentations, software development skills, and to collaborate on software projects.

More recently in my consulting business I have provided product development consulting services to over 20 unique clients. My last consulting project was funded by the Dept. of Homeland Security via a $500K grant for mitigation of coastal flooding. Our three person team developed a custom web-app in a 6 month sprint. On that project I was responsible for all of the UX design. I also managed all of the useability testing and designed assets for a 20 person focus group event.

From my point of view the root problem is "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" It is often difficult to evaluate the veracity of claims of one custodian about another. In the US the relatively short terms of office mean that the evaluation is performed by voters on a regular schedule and the loose coupling of legal directives to actual population behavior means that a large component of cooperation is based on the prestige of the director.

MAGMA Users' Guide

Univ. of Tennessee, Knoxville

Univ. of California, Berkeley

Univ. of Colorado, Denver

Date

October 2020

The goal of the MAGMA project is to create a new generation of linear algebra libraries that achieves the fastest possible time to an accurate solution on heterogeneous architectures, starting with current multicore + multi-GPU systems. To address the complex challenges stemming from these systems' heterogeneity, massive parallelism, and the gap between compute speed and CPU-GPU communication speed, MAGMA's research is based on the idea that optimal software solutions will themselves have to hybridize, combining the strengths of different algorithms within a single framework. Building on this idea, the goal is to design linear algebra algorithms and frameworks for hybrid multicore and multi-GPU systems that can enable applications to fully exploit the power that each of the hybrid components offers.

Designed to be similar to LAPACK in functionality, data storage, and interface, the MAGMA library allows scientists to easily port their existing software components from LAPACK to MAGMA, to take advantage of the new hybrid architectures. MAGMA users do not have to know CUDA in order to use the library.

There are two types of LAPACK-style interfaces. The first one, referred to as the CPU interface, takes the input and produces the result in the CPU's memory. The second, referred to as the GPU interface, takes the input and produces the result in the GPU's memory. In both cases, a hybrid CPU/GPU algorithm is used. Also included is MAGMA BLAS, a complementary to CUBLAS routines.

Often you can get no interest loans for new cars. In that case, it is cheaper to invest the cash and pay off the loan with less valuable money over the next few years.

Of course the car is still depreciating rapidly so I question the wisdom of buying a current year car at all. But it is comforting to have a newer car covered by warranty.
