No, but intentionally not paying tons of taxes you are required to pay is something that will definitely put your head on the table. If IRS managed to get Al Capone back then, getting McAfee for it should be fairly trivial.
Seems like a disproportionate impact on landscaping companies, thinks are hard enough with COVID without adding the cost of retooling and buying a days worth of batteries for each piece of equipment
LA did this like 20 years ago I believe. I’m surprised this took so long.
Cars and Trucks have catalytic converters for a reason. If we were serious about this we would have mandated the same for lawn equipment (at serious expense mind you).

Now I think everybody is quietly waiting for the revolution of battery powered lawn equipment to make this moot.
Erlang APIs are designed around the availability of dynamic pattern matching on messages, but static message typing is definitely feasible. The only feature of Erlang that stands out me as fundamentally incompatible with static typing is "live upgrade". And although this feature might be critical in the context for which it was designed (Ericcson telecom switches), it appears that very few Erlang-based deployments use live upgrade; the most common practice is to restart services.
Outdoors: Art of Spearing Eels (1985)
Not necessarily, we're talking about lawn care / outdoor maintenance. A lot of the maintenance I see invovles medians, communal areas etc. None of them are powered and would require substantial distances to outlets. When there is an outlet you then have to deal with Whom owns the outlet and pays the bill.

For a single family home, this is fine. For townhomes, larger lot, commercial properties, this isn't as clear.
Agreed. Jack is getting ahead of the coming NFT craze. He will be there to sell shovels to artists just like Coinbase sells shovels to Bitcoiners.
It wouldn't have to be any more stable than what's already required to coordinate with the proprietary front end. A company would actually have an incentive to stabilize the API, to encourage cooperative use rather than migration.

(And if a company starts churning their API in bad faith, that's exactly the kind of thing courts are meant to figure out)
WRT the ground-based blower - at some point, moving air makes as much noise as the engine, so this isn't surprising.

For charing, many newer trucks come with robust power systems for running electrics. Obv not an expense to be taken lightly, but we're getting there. Ford has the most compelling options right now - right up to 7.3kw system (I believe that's with the engine idling). I believe that with the hybrid drivetrain, you can use a not-insignificant amount of electricity with he truck engine off.
Well, thats a fast way to end up with the whole neighbourhood hating you.
So if I hit the "agree" button on TOS that are long and complex enough that I am not expected to reasonably understand, I am not bounded by them, because I never provided consent?

What if instead of TOS, we're talking about the tax code? Or the law?

I am not trying to invalidate what the article says, but I think the subject is more nuanced than just "lie -> no consent"
YES! If they're giving Tesla incentives give battery operated leaf blowers incentives as well. Super happy cities are starting to do this, hope my neighborhood could as well.

State should step up subsidies to encourage this.
Your point is undercut by lying about “overnight destruction”. If you read up on this issue, the effect in the real world is that businesses buy electric blowers. A bunch of them started calling it “organic landscaping” and charging more along with dropping chemical fertilizer / pesticide use.
I have a Stihl electric polesaw/weed eater/brush/… combo with a backpack battery. That battery outlasts my ability to use it in a day. Multiple small batteries is an extremely doable solution for a professional.

Also, what you add in battery charging, you easily make up with reduced maintenance of the tool.
Or shouldn't there be a linter as part of the standard tooling which warns if there are two variables or functions with similar looking names? It could also check for similar looking hex strings, which would have caught the off-by-one hashes.
I'd be wary of it if I were you. Just last week I heard some horror stories about people being locked out of their AppleID after missing a payment.
The charger for the Kobalt mower and grass trimmer from Lowes charges the batteries faster than I can use them. However, the batteries are only good for 30 minutes or so, and the equipment is hardly commercial-grade. The batteries can also be palmed with one hand, so there's room for an upgrade for commercial use.
I used to play so much Privateer when I was a kid! So much fun!
I wonder if landscaping companies will buy a fuel-powered generator to run their electrical equipment, seeing as they'd otherwise have to use the property's outlets to power their equipment (or risk not having access to electricity on some properties).
This is the only reasonable explanation.
Sounds like a clear market opportunity for a startup to step in, invent a better electric weed whacker, get into YC, and then be acquired by Tesla. Why question the system?

I want to put a smart light bulb in my desk lamp and use it (change the color) as a phone ringer or text message alert. This seems at a glance like it should be easy. What I am finding is that this is NOT easy. I hope that I am missing some obvious solution here.
If people were dying en masse from the virus before March, and we just weren't testing for it, those people and their doctors were either following the most amazing quarantine procedures, somehow preventing it's spread through the general population... Or, more likely, they did not have COVID, and just had the flu.

Not really, but perhaps someone could make one based on a cheap Nordic NRF51823 or NRF5832. Actually, a quick search shows that you can already buy exactly that (even with Apple compatibility built in).
So their main advancement is stronger magnets with "rare-earth barium copper oxide (ReBCO) on metal tape" being wound into extremely tight loops (and is presumably extremely thin).

Will we enter into a tipping point of materials science that allows magnets strong enough and suddenly we get fusion and it becomes ever better as we make better superconducting magnets?
Third party integrations
Fair feedback. Just a team of two at the moment and we've prioritized building out a couple of integrations and adding modules to the app. Revamping the UI is on the shortlist too.
Who knew decision paralysis and gaming on Linux would both be solved by market saturation?
It's notably quieter, because it's notably less powerful. In the best case, you hear the noise for a multiple of the time because the work is done more slowly and/or by more people using blowers together to move debris.
whole heartedly agree that this is a plus, but no way in hell are gardeners in oakland going to stop using them. i see most gardening truck around the city with their entire beds with just gas blowers. no way are companies with already low margins going to swap their equipment over this. its going to take years before we see the effects of this.

Some excellent information, to be sure!

For example, I never knew that IPL (Information Processing Language) existed prior to, and influenced (or probably influenced) LISP...

That IPL uses lists for computation is clear, and apparently IPL predates LISP by at least two years...

In reading the Wikipedia page on IPL (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Processing_Languag...), I found the following quote fascinating:

>"IPL was first utilized to demonstrate that the theorems in Principia Mathematica which were proven laboriously by hand, by Bertrand Russell and Alfred North Whitehead, could in fact be proven by computation. According to Simon's autobiography Models of My Life, this application was originally developed first by hand simulation, using his children as the computing elements, while writing on and holding up note cards as the registers which contained the state variables of the program."

Fascinating!

Makes me want to go back into the history of that Math and those theorems, and who proved what, when...

Anyway, thanks for the excellent links!
That seems odd. In the early 1990s where I grew up in the Midwestern United States corded electric weed eaters (that's what I grew up calling them) and lawn mowers were quite common.
People are desperately trying to tell you who they are with everything that they do.
If it's that easy then why was human guessing only 55 percent accurate?
I hope this ban spreads, not because of the air pollution, but because of the noise pollution. I hate when those things wake me up or keep me from enjoying my terrace.
I doubt it's overnight destruction of the business.
It likely means selling some of their amortized equipment to buy different equipment. They've likely had notice for a long time. Especially if they participate in their government.
We know. But you also know, if there are monopolies, even if they are private, they can meaningfully limit the flow of ideas in a way that is highly problematic.

And the term censorship is broad, and isn't specific to private entities versus government. Just because we don't have a Soviet-style government (good), doesn't mean that automatically everything is free and open. If I buy out all of a particular work of art and burn it in a bonfire, I've committed censorship. If not illegal, it should at least elicit some moral eyebrow-raising, no?
"virtue points" is a meaningless propaganda term.

"Two individuals" - one is John McAfee, and for pumping Dogecoin?

"As is typical of pump-and-dump schemes, they secretly accumulated a position in a digital asset through bitcoin trading in anticipation of price spikes following McAfee’s misleading public endorsements on social media."

Most of the time electric lawn-mowers are just using the mains and are powered through a cable.

These kind of models exist since a very long time, and I was not thinking of any battery model when I wrote my comment.
The point is this system would perform better than them. Maybe we will need to learn how to lie to robots?

If you are selling to SMB you need to put your pricing on the website.

Hope this helps!
You have to relearn it if you want to create a new theme for it. If you want to focus on writing, you just put new markdown files inside the post folder.

Not to mention that wordpress isn't static, which makes hosting more complicated & expensive.
I recently investigated this feature for merico.build. I found that it's controversial. The counter argument is that you have to get the UX right without it.

The middle ground I have chosen is to rejigger the UX to optimize the first minute or so. The user will start with demo data preinstalled. The top of the first page they see will be optimized for the first run.

Good luck.
Thanks! Still very early, but hopefully once it's closer to a useable product I'll post around and get some real user feedback.

Worst case it'll be useful for me and my house mate who made the original request.
Pessimism is counterproductive to the long-term development of humanity and rapid deployment of electric vehicles and clean energy. Armchair pessimists don't deserve a place in the stock market. If you think Tesla is doing something wrong, either (a) go work there and fix it or (b) start your own Tesla competitor. Short selling isn't constructive.
Don't worry, they'll focus on that disaster soon enough. They'll want to blame Biden for the 650k who will die of covid this year, just like they didn't want to blame Trump for the 350k who died of covid last year.
Neighboring Berkeley banned these years ago but there is no mechanism for enforcement so it hasn't made any difference.

I have been looking into the battery-powered lawncare ecosystem for a while but I have found the prospects a little daunting. As far as I can tell, there's one new entrant to the field, Ego. The others are either from companies that have dealt with batteries for a while (Dewalt, Ryobi) or are "house brands" found exclusively at the big box stores like Lowes, Home Depot, Menards, and so on.

I am not afraid of spending money on items but I find it frustrating when the extra expenditure ends up being a dud, like my Toro (gas-powered) lawnmower which, despite the money spent and the numerous trips to the repair place, and the care lavished on it, has worked less than it has failed completely. My previous mower ran wonderfully without hardly any maintenance; this thing I have been changing oil, messing about with spark plugs, using special and such, all to no avail.

Battery-powered sounds good but I don't know if the market shakeout has happened yet.
A lot of these sites don't support HTTPS, so they can't be iframed without being mirrored
I used an extension once in Firefox that allows you to view the archived version of any URL (providing the site allowed the WM crawler in their robots.txt). It worked for both working URLs and URLs that 404'd or didn't exist anymore / bitrotted pages.
I have seen this happen when I lived near Palo Alto :(
The assumption you're making is that they have mature offerings because they are big names. Facebook, Google, Amazon and Microsoft have excellent full-featured offerings in every sector they've ever dabbled in? They've never made a bad or neglected product?

This is exactly the problem, the assumption that huge conglomerate juggernauts hoovering up or invading every sector is adequate or healthy competition.

Also that list seems to be very iffy at listing actual competitors to the Auth0 product offering. Much of it looks like services that use OAuth integration for access to their proprietary platform, not necessarily a dev-focused blank canvas for SSO/CIAM integration within your own app. Many specificly list OIDC as No. The list doesn't even have Auth0 on it.
Pretty cool. It filters by URL?
Is the UK still subject to the GDPR now after Brexit?
As much as the environmental impact is significant, I'm mainly enthused because I really dislike the impact of the noise pollution. Having worked from home for a few years now, the worst part to me is the frequent landscaping noise throughout the day. Even if the gardeners all come by your block at the same day every week, they may show up to nearby blocks on other days of the week and create noise that's audible from far away. An hour of hearing overly loud landscaping equipment ruins my day, and I'm otherwise not a very neurotic person. I don't even get why gas powered lawn equipment has to be that loud; I attached a 2-stroke motor to a bike once with a cheap muffler and even that didn't sound as loud as most lawnmowers.
It took some digging, but if you go to https://www.acm.org/privacy-policy, the "this website uses cookies" banner at the bottom includes a selector to choose which ones are used, and "necessary" is auto-selected. Expanding the "Show details" panel along the selector shows which cookies are considered necessary, and it looks like it's part of their Cloudflare attack protection system (__cfduid), their load balancing schema (AWSALBCORS), the cookie storing the status of your cookie consent (hah, ironic) (CookieConsent). But then there are some that I wouldn't personally consider necessary, such as two Bloomberg-vended cookies that appear to mirror the consent information to Bloomberg's servers, a Swiftype tracking pixel, a YouTube cookie to estimate the user's bandwidth for optimizing video loading, and some suspiciously-opaque BACKEND and sessionState cookies.

In general, it's unfortunate their page doesn't degrade gracefully if cookies are disabled (though that's not always possible; for example, you can't assume that traffic Cloudflare can't analyze for trust is trusted... but those BACKEND and sessionState cookies being mandatory feels lazy).
I wonder how much data about a person can you squeeze out of a high-definition video, analyzing not only face, but grimaces, tone of voice, rhythm of speech etc.

That should give you a lot more hints than a still image.

The worst possible uses: filtering out undesirable people applying for jobs or for college, firing people who are suspect of belonging to a different political tribe.

What Exactly is FLoC?
One great technique for understanding others (and often as a bonus also showing them they don't know what they are talking about) is to simply ask for the mechanism they are describing.

So when someone is in favor of policy X, ask them how X accomplishes the goal they are in favor of -- what is the cause-effect chain.

This (at least according to psychologists' research) usually makes people more cognizant of the gaps in their understanding, and also more receptive to alternative solutions or explanations.
FWIW

I've been very happy with the Ego line of electric (rechargeable batteries) lawn tools. I have, and use regularly, their leaf blower, weed whacker, and snow blower. 3 seasons of use so far.
> Because it just looks like random data that hasn't been formatted.

I'm guessing that SSDs also give up the secret if an attacker has access to custom firmware to read the wear-levelling metadata and finds a bunch of recent writes in the random data.

At this point, unless speed or capacity are at a premium, it probably makes more sense to completely boot and run off of a fast USB drive. Linux + LUKS-header will be fairly obvious on the USB boot drive anyway, making plausible deniability pretty hard.

What's the threat model? State-level attackers (e.g. journalists working with Snowden) or the border police wanting you to provide a passphrase for stored data or to boot a system? For the latter a good solution is don't transport anything important across the border.
> it's free to implement

It's free to the city's coffers. It is a multi-million dollar capital expense to the city's businesses and residents.

I support the measure. But it's far from free.
Most vehicles produce power and many work trucks can be easily modified to produce more. Simply making a bank of batteries that recharges as you drive should suffice for anyone serious enough to need it.

Does gleam let me destructure a list so that I can bind the head and body each to a variable?

e.g. in f#

let splitHeadAndTail = function
| h :: [] -> printfn "got head and EMPTY tail"
| h :: t -> printfn "got head and tail"
| [] -> printfn "got empty list"

The example in their docs does a 1:1 map and doesn't show if you can bind the whole tail[1]

That's what they used to say about cars, too. Innovation and technological advances will find a way, especially with the economic incentives created by this legislation for an enterprising startup to build a better battery blower.

Emissions controls for cars, and semi-trucks started becoming a thing in the mid 1970s, and standards have got stronger over the years. There are a few collector cars around, but for the most part anything in actually use is pretty clean, emitting CO2 and H2O. (Of course CO2 has issues, but short term nothing nearly as harmful as what small engines produce)

Small airplanes have not kept up (they still use lead fuel!), and so are overall worse than lawn equipment. However there is a lot more lawn equipment. (I don't know anything about modern jet engine emissions)
A friend of mine ran a small landscaping business through college. You'd be surprised how many property owners would not let landscapers in the house to plug in extension cords, use the restroom, etc.

Los Angeles adopted such a law years ago. Net effect on the ground: every gardener still uses the gas-powered model. Because two reasons IMO a)lack of publicity and b) the gardener and the homeowner are liable for the fine, and who wants to rat on their neighbors (especially if “neighbor” = landlord as in my case)
I have an EGO backpack blower that works well on our two acres and it only cost $250.
Loved this game, and it’s a permanent fixture in DOSBox on every machine I own. I was lucky that my dad had a machine that could run it properly, and an expensive analogue joystick to boot. I really don’t have any negative memories of either the story or the gameplay, so the review makes me a little sad. I still have nightmares about chasing cloaked torpedoes down before they can hit my base.
Neither of mine plug in, the only adapters available are third party on amazon and a few have less than stellar reviews. Namely, they short out and cause fires. I'd also be required to have a substantial amount of electrical cord length at our farm, like 1000 feet cables, which simply isn't feasible. I suppose I could throw the generator in the truck when doing stuff out there but I feel like that defeats the purpose.
The entry level blowers don't even have swap-able batteries. With these things standing in a cold, dusty, maybe humid garage 99% of the time, the battery will rapidly degrade and be dead after just a few years of usage. Then you have 15lbs of e-waste for the junk yard. Honestly not a ideal situation either.
