What are your thoughts on black cars?
This article is pure spam? Every link references back to another article and the whole description is a copy from the official documentation.
Every country in the world except South Korea, HK, China and Taiwan failed to recognise the importance of masks at the beginning only to later change their minds.

Is the resume where all cool accomplishments go after they've faded from the public eye? Your comment struck me as somehow extremely (and unintentionally) fatalistic... that this cool hack will somehow end up churned through the capitalistic society into a bullet point to earn a wage. Actually kind of depressing.
The italian regulators sure think it is: https://9to5mac.com/2020/11/30/apple-fined-12m-for-unfair-cl...
Hah, an interesting question and certainly not stupid at all!

A quick Google search [1] suggests that a (standard?) solar panel absorbs ~2/3s of the light, so it probably reflects enough to make out the car on the road. But the question actually becomes valid and important once we discover solar panel material that can absorb even more light (think Vantablack-like absorption).

Very good question!

i-Flex, the maker of Flexcube, was my first company out of college. I stuck around only for a month or so, but in that time we had a brief training on the software. The interface was a smorgasbord of buttons and inputs, and I couldn't make head or tail of anything on it. Good to see that things haven't changed in over a decade since then.
And what would happen the day you were hit by a bus?
This simply isn't true.

When you plot the infection and death rates of the vaccinated vs the unvaccinated population, the rates in the vaccinated group drop like a stone. The effect is highly significant.

The vaccination strategy is highly effective and is absolutely a major contributor (if not the primary contributor) to the decline.
I think IQ or some variant of it - which is what leetcode sounds like to me - has an intuitive appeal because it offers a way of objectifying hiring and stack ranking people. All other things being equal, the higher ranked leetcoders are bound to be better programmers: but good luck with the "all other things being equal" part.

I'd separate the merits of abstract tests, innate ability and so on, from spending 5 years on leetcode. It's worth really digging into the meta questions here. Why?

I think trying harder and improving is par for just about any course so I wouldn't surrender to Gods of talent or you'll find yourself at a disadvantage to the less talented as well.

Did you know that Roger Penrose - Mathematical physicist with a Nobel prize in Physics - was held back a year in school because his arithmetic was so bad? I reckon he would have sucked at leetcode. Turns out his arithmetic is still so bad 60 years later but he discovered that he had a razor sharp geometric intuition and put his chips there instead. Worked out quite well for him I'd say.
The panels don't absorb anymore light than any body panel that is the same color (in the visible spectrum). Just less of it gets converted into heat.
If some engineer at Rockstar had done this work, they would have gotten their regular salary and probably not much else, which probably would have worked out to less than $10k for the amount of time spent on this issue.
Probably no more than any black car. They are moving, they have lights, they should be visible.

Nevertheless very black materials can be stunningly dark https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vantablack
At this point, I wouldn't have been surprised if a video game company sued someone for DMCA violations for something like this. Rockstar and Take-Two in particular are no strangers to handing out DMCA take downs, cease and desist letters, or lawsuits. I'm glad they're being cool about this.
Even assuming this is true ($6k a month sounds absurd), this is a bad argument. The old "rent should cost no more than one third of your income" rule is basically for people around the poverty line. For them it's a question of whether they can afford to eat that month.

Just to give an extreme example: if Jeff Bezos uses half his income this year to build the largest estate the world has ever seen, he's still sitting pretty on the rest of it and has the largest estate the world has ever seen.

At a 35% tax rate, your take home income is $156K. At $6K per month ($72K/yr), you have $84K left over after rent. If this is you then YOU ARE WEALTHY. There is simply no getting around this. You are making more alone, after taxes and after rent than my partner and I have ever made together total in a year in our lives, and we live in a city with a relatively expensive rental market and are not "poor".

The absurd talk about "only" making over two hundred thousand dollars a year (plus whatever your partner makes if you have one) needs to stop. It's so out of touch with the norm in virtually every city in the world that it would be laughable if it weren't kind of sad.
Contagan, which is part of the reason why we have the drug approval process we have. And ever since, we didn't have anything comparable. At least not that I remember.
The comparisons that they’re showing on their “Solar Integration” page is disingenuous at best. They state their cells have 20-22% efficiency, comparing them to much older silicon cells with 16% efficiency. The reality is modern affordable cells [1] have the same %22 efficiency that they have.

“The polymer coatings of our cells do not splinter” but I bet the cells themselves sure as hell do. Cracks are hard to spot and can render an entire series string of cells useless. Top side body panels I wouldn’t be so worried about, but the doors... really?

SMS is not secure, that's why. Police have used special devices to intercept messages on a broad scale without any warrent, which means individuals can too. Service providers are well known to send "replacement" sim cards out to people who then use it to access 2FA accounts. Happened to H3H3 on YouTube.

Phone numbers in general are insecure. There is no enforced verification system - people can receive calls from their own phone number, and people can fake the presented numbers. There is such a significant amount of spam callers as well. The FCC doesnt care.

The entire phone system in the U.S. needs to be remade with security, but powers that be really don't want that.
> An original Picasso... vs a hash number.

I agreed that physical objects have unique properties that digital objects cannot match. But presumably we can appreciate digital artworks nonetheless?

It is also true that the nature of the digital object means that ownership of the NFT is somewhat disconnected from whether a .jpg is physically in your computers memory at any given time.

But the choice is not between an original Picasso and a random hash number, but rather:

- An original Picasso painting vs an equally enjoyable copy.
- An NFT of Picasso's digital illustration vs an equally enjoyable copy.

Are you able to experience that same intangible connection with history by looking at a blockchain entry, as you might be standing in front of an old painting? Maybe not. But you may experience a version of it, in the same as you might by looking at the first websites.

> Would I rather have the basketball that Lebron dunked in a game or some random basketball that Lebron issued an NFT for?

Sure. What about a unique NFT of a sword that was used to win in a watershed eSports event? Note that this would be a digital object that does not merely represent the sword, but it is the sword, i.e. I can now use it in the game. I think people would value that through largely the same mental mechanism as the basketball.
also: In my city (in UK) the lamp posts date from a long time ago. Only a few years ago all the sodium lamps were replaced by lower power LEDs, which presumably means that much of the cabling is now massively redundant.
Thank you! I've tried to google several times for this story but never found it again until now.
Software is eating the world! So you don’t need to know everything to earn money, just be able to solve problems logically. Then the rest is a hobby so treat it like that and not the olympics. TLDR: fuck it!
Neurotoxic? I would like to see a source for that claim.
Psychedelics are certainly not to be underestimated but from what I have heard the actual physical harm they can do is negligible compared to e.g. what alcohol does to your body. If you never drink because of that then maybe abstaining from mushrooms is appropriate. Otherwise I'd say it's taking some minuscule effect and blowing it out of proportion.
> will donate money

Sakari (and the likes) will complain that government regulation is keeping the food of the hard workers table, and the gov has no right to intervene to the free market!!

In parallel they will 'lobby' (or as we call it in Europe "bribe") the key politicians and ask to a) either change that Bill down to the point that it is rendered useless, or b) cancel it altogether, and stock market will go up!!
A Tesla has solar panels?

I’m pretty sure this car can be plugged in too. In fact it has bidirectional charging, so a parking lot of these things could (theoretically) be connected into a huge solar system charging all the cars
You have customers complaining about everything all the time (and non-customers with a high profile "edgy" title like GTA), so filtering out the actually relevant topics might be hard (esp things like "bad loading time" when it might be the users computer).

The thing is that this loading time issue probably didn't exist at release as it was part of something that got expanded on over time and only got bad worse by the years.

Assuming somewhat linear growth of the data the loading time would have been at least 4x shorter only half the games lifetime ago (3 years) and 16x shorter 1.5 years after release. After that period they would probably not consider there to be issues in those places in the code so nobody really looked or realized anything was amiss there.
You can already do this. There are inverter sets that come with EV chargers.
Your claims are off-topic and irrelevant with respect to the safety of this vaccine.

Any potential safety issues with vaccines must be investigated, otherwise there will be a huge problem with trust in vaccines and in the regulator. There's already a huge problem with vaccine skepticism, and vaccine fanatics are making things worse.
> Every time I see someone say something like this, or better yet use the word "magic", what I hear is that they don't understand how or why their system does the things it does.

There is nothing magic about configuring a deployment to autoscale. You set resource limits, you configure your deployment to scale up if an upper limit is reached and you didn't maxed out, and you configure your deployment to scale down if a lower limit is reached and you didn't min out. What do you find hard to understand?

> Nothing is free; nothing is magic; nothing "just works". You understand it or you don't,

You're the only one claiming it's magic.

The rest of the world doesn't seem to have a problem after having read a couple of pages into the tutorial on how to configure autoscale on whatever service/cloud provider.

> and nothing has contributed more to the plague of developers thinking they understand it when they don't than cloud-based containers (and the absurd associated costs!).

You're the only one posting a baseless assertion that other developers somehow don't understand autoscaling, as if everyone around you struggles with it.
I believe retinal damage (a higher likelihood of spontaneous tears) has been reported too. I was given Cipro as a child for diarrhea in a foreign country and recently suffered tears in both retinas. I have to wonder if that wasn't a contributing factor.
I fully admit to an amount of voicism when dealing with recruiters who’ve either emigrated from or are in a call center in India. Many times, I simply can’t parse their English due to their accents, to the point where I just don’t respond to them, either in a phone call or even email (because they might call).

Sad, but true.

> (another interesting finding from that paper is that the probability of death increases as the vehicle ages, even within the same model year)

Looks like they don't speculate much on it -- they mention improvements in driver behavior over time and maintenance. Not bad, but my first thoughts were:

* a 20 year old vehicle is often driven by a person with a different socioeconomic situation than someone with a 1 year old vehicle, and those economic situations correlate heavily with other driving behaviors.

* as vehicles are getting safer and more powerful, highway speeds are rising, so 20 year old vehicle that are just keeping up with traffic are going faster than they used to.
Yeah but to be fair, that's what he's actually supposed to be doing.

I think we're going to see more devices that are designed to deal with solar power directly. Like an air conditioner that will throttle back if there is only 2000W of power available instead of the 6000W it normally draws.

An example of something that doesn't work well. Saw a guy that installed a heat pump water heater in his off grid house. In heat pump only mode it drew 500W. Problem he had to work around was it on startup it would flip on it's resistive heaters for a couple of seconds. Which would crowbar his inverter. And if he disconnected them it would throw a fault. A slight design change would make it work seamlessly.
In developing countries they were (are?) pretty liberal with these drugs (Pakistan in my case)
That's certainly the case but how would a Bayesian filter help?
Bitcoin is in a price discovery mode, hence the volatility. We’ve never seen an asset being monetized in real-time; certainly nothing that’s gone from $0 to $1 trillion market cap in 12 years.
It's absurd that the past century of American foreign policy has conditioned us to associate humanitarian intervention with military aid.

I also think that realistically there's very little we can do. The main non-military option is economic sanctions. That just ensures that the people being killed can starve to death first. Perhaps that leads to a revolution, but that seems like kind of a cruel way to go about things.
I believe the phrase: “No shit Sherlock!” aptly applies to you.
Microsoft has a website for you to vote for desired features.

Thing is 99% of companies could run like SO if their software would be like SO.

But if you are confronted with a very large 15+ year old monolith that requires multiple big instance machines to even handle medium load. Then you're not going to get this easily fixed.

It's very possible that you come to the conclusion that it is too complex to refactor for better vertical scaling. When your demand increases, then you simply buy another machine every now and then and spin up another instance of your monolith.
Every car that isn't white, especially if it has a dark color, absorbs light. The visibility of this car should be like the one of any other black car.
If you tell Signal not to allow anybody else to re-register from your phone number without your PIN it will enforce this until at least seven days passes without you using Signal.

If you've uninstalled Signal or just never use your phone then yeah, after a week or so this proposed attack "works" and the safety numbers for any ongoing conversations with anybody reset (the attacker doesn't know the long term identity key for your phone so they'll get a new one, thus generating a different safety number), which will be notified to the other participants although since you presumably never use Signal there may not be any such conversations.
if you have myopia, or high IOP I wouldn't look into Cipro for blame.
You’re raising a lot of relevant issues! We think that your energy provider is in the best position to realize this value. That's also why we focus on those companies as our customers.

> When America does go in, the world accuses it of interfering and makes ugly jokes about "Be nice to America or they will bring democracy to you too" (or similar).

Who is this world you talk about?
I agree with you, and I think that this "dirty turth" is unpopular, because lots of people want to feel bright and intelligent, but the algorithm interviews, when interpreted in this way, tells them they're not that super bright -- and they don't like that, so they want to interpret the interviews in other ways, eg it's just luck, or anyone can do it with enough practice or things like that.

At the same time, I think the coding interviews generally are harder than what's needed to do the job well, just because there're so many job applicants so the bar gets unnecessarily high? And people who fail the interviews can still be really bright. (Also, some people get nervous and fail mostly related to that. I wonder how to avoid that happening)
Finally, Emacs runtime can catch up with modernity to make all size jokes relevant again.

Maybe you don't realize that taking in $1B means they were doing just fine without this bug fix. Faster load times amount to "Oh isn't that's nice".

i.e. if a very large number of young people get sick, there will be sufficient severe cases among their population to fill up intensive care beds and there will also be many people with sequelae.

I have for some time considered adopting Conan, but I'm comparing to Conda (conda-forge, actually). One of the many benefits of using Conda is that I can rely on users easily being able to install a well-defined environment without requiring root access. How does Conan compare? Is it also a good choice for distributing packages to end-users, or is better tailored to developers and build systems?
Just a part of all permeating superficiality in tech. The way the business is done got a breed of designers to match.
Agreed.

I get a lot of "engineering comfort" knowing that the environment I use on my machine to build, test and run an executable is the same as the one used in prod.
Why do you have to bring fraud Karen in to everything?
Windows Raid
Where Conan doesn't really shine is crossplatform dependencies. For example, when a dependency requires to have been built with a specific toolchain. Thus, if your goal is write once and run everywhere you'll still have to build dependencies yourself.

It's such a silly claim to put on their page. They aren't even available yet.

Aptera and Lightyear both have earlier projected delivery dates so even if we are saying "stock consumer car, off the lot, no after market" they're still wrong

Solar charging solves the fueling problem for commuters in sunny environments, the narrative is compelling enough, no need to so prominently lie.

Besides people already don't really trust these boutique car manufacturers with unproven safety track records. It's a terrible first impression

I am using Linux because it is open source. I can tinker if soemthing does not work and I can switch servers or run my own if there is an issue with the organization running the server.

Without having deeply investigated myself I read the snap server is proprietary, nobody can run another instance. So nothing I want spend time on to even understand. (The client side gets some complaints, too. But without understanding the system I don't want to form an opinion, I uninstall it from the Ubuntu systems I still have.)
It’s worth noting that the author of this report is Peter Baumann, the author of Rasdaman. So it shoukd be no surprise that Rasdaman comes out on top in the various benchmarks and is presented as the leading “array database.”

My two cents (as the author of Xarray, one of the Python libraries mentioned in this report) is that it’s questionable whether we need “array databases” at all. Certainly we need to be able to store arrays and compute with them, but do we need an integrated solution that does both at the same time with a query language that looks like SQL? Maybe not, in an era of cloud computing, prolific open source software and when everyone who works with big array datasets already knows Python.
But as soon as it's turing-complete someone will try to write whatever algorithm with it and you'll have to maintain it.
Your claim is false, because for some (many?) people this disease doesn't seem to cause even mild symptoms. It's always possible that some terrible consequence will only be visible years later, like for Measles, but we don't know that.

Not any more than a matte black car judging from the photos. Cars are required to have retroreflectors so night-time should not be that big of a problem.

The main issue is the extra cost of this worth the 16km (10miles) in range added per day. It produces $1/day in electricity, so it needs to cost less than $2.5k for it to be cheaper than electricity.

This is highly dependent on what you pay in electricity (system produces 33kw/week on average).

> There must be no doubts with vaccines, 100% trust in them is essential.

Completely unrealistic. Everything in life has associated risks, and vaccines do carry a (small) risk.

It would be better to educate people about understanding and balancing relative risks rather than sensationalising a few outliers. The main fault here lies with the lack of proper rational discussion in the media.
