In my experience, it's not a lack of empathy, but trying to prove to management that they shouldn't get rid of the security team. At most companies I've done security testing at, telling management that you didn't find any vulnerabilities immediately puts you and your team on the chopping block because they think you're a waste of money if you don't find anything. I've noticed it's mostly new people who aren't confident they can easily find a job are the ones most often going out of their way to report security issues that aren't actually a big deal.
And couple that with riots last year, plus covid shutdowns wreaking havoc on the production lines. They're way way way backed up right now.
I agree, plug-ins like the Volt make a lot of sense right now. Internal combustion engines have become incredibly reliable, and carrying around 18 kWh of batteries is a lot lighter and cheaper than carrying around 100 kWh of batteries.

Software engineers like me tend to prefer the idea of making something as simple as possible though. I hate having a relational database AND Elasticsearch for full-text search. If I can get away with the database taking care of my search needs, I'll gladly rip Elasticsearch out of my architecture. Likewise, the idea of ripping the ICE and associated components out of the car feels satisfyingly simple. But, sometimes you need robust full-text search. And sometimes you need to drive a lot of miles in a short amount of time.
So how do you reconcile this with all the cheap domestics being used as fleet vehicles in commercial applications where downtime directly translates to money?

Pretty much every minivan fleet in the US runs on Pacificas and Transit connects. Small trucks are always the Colorado.

Of course the cabbies love their Priuses but they only begrudgingly switched after the supply of ex-cop crown vics dried up.
> But “being reduced to a label” is one of the outcomes of such policies

I don’t really see how this can be the case because the very use of such labels as political categories is being removed. If the labels can’t be used then they can’t be weaponized
> Warnings that we should wear masks were called fake news and anti-Chinese racism.

It was, and here is an additional irony: In the beginning, downplaying COVID-19 with Chinese people (especially people from Wuhan) did not go over well and was not appreciated: "This is transparent pandering. I don't care how 'not-racist' you are towards me; my family members are dying and my city is in an apocalyptic lockdown so you can shut the fuck up about how this 'isn't serious'". Maybe said more politely, but definitely thought.
Do you still have it? Asking because your post sort of reads like you don’t have it anymore and if that’s the case I’m curious why you got rid of it.

I was strongly considering the Volt when it first came out but never pulled the trigger so always curious to hear how it worked out for the people that did.

> It’s really a shame they’re so unpopular amongst Americans: I think many there would happily subject themselves to 4 months of hard lockdown — in unison with generous unemployment support ofc

The unemployment support was missing/inadequate. Had it been adequate, I doubt we'd have had over half a million deaths from this.

> That is actually the one thing I grant credit cards to be superior in

I mean, it’s basically their only purpose in life (if you use it for the other purpose to purchase things ahead of your paycheck, that you don’t have the cash for already, you’re going to get yourself in trouble — 20% interest _hurts_)
What kind of a question is that? The first and foremost function of HR is to protect the company, you have no reason to trust them. And who even has such a deep insight into the HR of a company at the time of your hiring that they decide whether to take the job or not based on that info?
it doesn't stop device fingerprinting and there'll be a bigger dash from virtually every company to fingerprint the hell out of all devices, get geolocation data, hoard up all possible IP information (wifi), identify nearby bluetooth device information and secure additional data points to link devices to users.
> There are more Americans passionate about firearms and who see them as central to their identity than ever before.

[citation needed]

Household gun ownership went from 45% in 1980 down to 32% in 2016:

* https://www.rand.org/research/gun-policy/gun-ownership.html

Fewer people own guns nowadays generally, with only one-third only a single gun, about one-third owning 2-4, and one-third owning >5:

* https://www.pewresearch.org/social-trends/2017/06/22/the-dem...

Seems that only a minority of American (households) own firearms, and the ones that do may simply make more noise than the (silent) majority that do not.

> It's not rednecks with shotguns anymore, it's guys with skinny jeans who watch the world cup.

The highest concentration of gun ownership is in the South and especially in rural counties (Table 4):

What is banned is discussion of society and politics, not their existence.
Immediately replying to a message with a money transfer is very frictionless for both parties. Yeah, using Revolut is not bad (probably best personal payments system otherwise), but I know I'll be using these payments a lot and won't be looking to switch back.
I see that as a natural result of the constant propaganda campaign against inconvenient truths. Discredit experts at every turn so you can push your own narrative.

I would recommend you try writing hacky code and then throwing it away and starting from scratch a couple times on the same project idea, just to see how it goes. It might teach you something.

The people I know who regularly take this approach end up with a really fantastic code architecture in the end, and avoid a lot of pitfalls from their first naïve attempts.
I was rather taken by Tom's introduction to scrolling text by way of the marquee tag.
Yep, similarly the plug-in hybrid Pacifica is a great family vehicle. The ~30 mile battery range covers our "around town" driving, but we still have the ability to load the kids in the van and take a road trip without having to worry about how we're going to entertain them in random parking lots waiting for the van to charge.
I have definitely heard of rumors of such things happening in the 90s in some centers in India but never substantiated. I’d be surprised if nothing like that happened though!

Which is why security questions are a horrible idea. What good does it do to have your nicely salted and hashed password when the answers to the security questions are available in plain text and get you access to the account.
I think this is really GM's fault mixed with the broken dealership model.

I went in to ask about them early on and the people knew nothing. I was confused by ads about them that talked about 'range' I thought maybe the car couldn't run only on the gas generator and it just extended it or something.

The dealers were anti-selling them and directly hostile.

In the end it turned out just to be stupid advertising - I'm not sure why you'd talk about a 'range' when you can fill up and immediately keep going, it's misleading.

These companies have no hope against Tesla - the superchargers are excellent.
He said that 2A doesn't give us the right. It recognizes a pre-existing natural right.
Yes, of course. I've seen that number decrease over the decades, but it's obviously not zero (and probably never will be).

It's not clear that the presence of those people on the earth requires official work channels to be a political discussion free-for-all. I spend time on a fairly small number of discussion sites. Invariably, the ones with the highest signal-to-noise ratio are the ones which ban gratuitous political discussion (including this one [Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. ]).

Political discussion (like religious discussion) tends to generate more heat than light and I don't begrudge a company wanting to focus official work channels on, well, work.
It bothers me a little that the slang term for vulva has always been somehow vastly more offensive than the equivalent slang term for penis.

See now if the overly-woke could conceive and "amplify" a massively offensive gender-neutral term for genitalia for use in abuse that is frequently needless, I could totally get behind insisting on it in place of prick, cock, cunt, et al. It would be political correctness and wokeness gone completely and utterly sane! I guess "wank-stain" just about does the same job, cheers Scotland!

It seems unwise to imagine oneself engaged in a war because it just licenses your opponent.

Conversely if one's opponent(s) considers themselves to be fighting a war and you don't, then you're placing yourself at a severe disadvantage. I'm not sure where you got he idea that the grandparent comment was proposing deception of one's fellow citizens, since it was bemoaning weaponized disinformation which is by definition deceptive.

The idea of war is that it the extension of policy

This is an idea of war that views it as a tool of leverage in interstate negotiations. But if there's evidence to suggest than opponent is using it for other purposes as you describe, then it would be foolish to ignore that.
And lots of people would embrace the term “thug”. It’s great if you can embrace it and make it something positive. My point about “look twice when you hear it” still stands, most people that use redneck in political contexts don’t mean well.

Used Toyotas command a premium because relatively none of them find their hands in the "oil changes, lol I can barely afford gas" crowd that wears stuff out and doesn't maintain stuff.

You never see a Sienna getting loaded with bags of concrete at Home Depot. Can't say that about a Town and Country. You never see a family of 5 pile out of a (newish) Corrla. Can't say that about an Altima. You never see a 4Runner towing something way too big. Can't say that about a Tahoe.

Toyotas sell for a premium used because they get sold to "premium" customers who keep them nice.

If Toyota financed the people Chryler and Nissan would finance (insert neggity joke) then in 20yr you would see all the upper middle class HN types shitting all over Toyota because Toyota would be the poor people car. You'd see them in all sorts of states of disrepair and neglect and they would be stereotypes as unreliable, after all why else would they be driving around on 3/4cyl?

I can't believe I'm defending Chrysler and Nissan but the blind Toyota worship is just that, blind worship. Most of their niceness comes from people keeping them nice. The real world edge between manufacturers is very, very slim.

In end of life they are no better or worse than anything else that's been treated the way they have (VW's regularly scheduled electrical fires notwithstanding)
Simultaneous location and mapping (SLAM) was solved a while back. Autonomous vehicles can locate themselves using any detectable landmark, not just lane markings and road signs.

I don't doubt that there are people who will try to claim that any mention of a same-sex relationship is political.

Based on everything Jason and DHH have ever said or done, do you think that their intent with this policy is to forbid people from mentioning their same sex partners?

Do you believe that they would take seriously any complaint in that regard?

There is definitely a spectrum of behavior contained in "political discussions". Do think there's not any part of that spectrum that should be discouraged at work? I think they made it pretty clear what area of the spectrum of behavior they're targeting and it's not "casual mentions of same-sex partners".
They are paying out this year, then introducing a 10% profit share next year. But, as I said, this is just a compensation discussion. If people are unhappy they can renegotiate their comp or find someone else to pay them more.
Users don’t care about clean code, but I do find that the more I try to write clean code the faster I get at writing clean code.

And as long as we continue assuming the worst in people that we disagree with, the problem of polarization will remain. Why not give them the benefit of the doubt and assume, until we have evidence to the contrary, that they just want to encourage a sane, low-stress work environment?
That contradicts everything I've ever heard. It varies by both activity level and weight of the person in question.

So you took it when you had Covid and you didn’t die so you conclude it works? You realize that the most likely thing to happen for anyone at almost any stage of Covid is to actually get better right?

This is like saying you broke your arm and prayed to god and you’re alive so god saved you.

Having recent returned to a corporate work environment I am amazed at how much time is spent focusing on these things instead of, you know, running the business and generating shareholder value.
> also not clear they had anything to gain.

Getting people to pay back loans they aren't required to pay back "isn't something to gain?". I'm trying to find a charitable reading of this but am struggling. In what way do you think they have nothing to gain?
That’s not what they’re doing though - they’re not saying “we cannot say the word ‘gay’ any more because that makes the sentence a political sentence.” They’re saying you can’t talk about politics, and honestly specific words don’t even have to come into play. You can weaponize the policy easily without using specific words at all.
A union derives its bargaining power from the amount of monopoly it has on the labor supply. (I don't say that as a bad thing; I mean it just as a factual thing.)

Tech industry turnover is around 13% per year, or 0.25% per week. The Google union could all quit at once and it would be like that week's turnover number was slightly higher than normal.

Google has more employees out sick on any given day than they have union members.

Yes, if you bought today. What's the point of your post?
Okay, believing (without evidence) that high ranking Democrats, [sic] globalist Jews, celebrities, and coastal elites are eating aborted babies and performing satanic rituals involving pedophilia and human sacrifice is a truly shocking belief.

I'm okay with being extremely subjective and saying that's actually shocking. Claims that strong should be accompanied by at least circumstantial evidence. If you don't believe this is a real world view that people are trying to spread, look up Q-Anon.
Why would you trust any employer’s HR department? Their job is to reduce the company’s liability, not help you with your problems.
Then 'it worked'. That's the whole point of credit cards. They're trying to dissociate the buying and the paying such that it's easily possible to 'overbuy' and slip into the credit card hell of perpetually trying to pay it off.

The closer you are to 'living pay check to pay check' the easier it is to get you into this. And I suppose for some people it takes multiple larger purchases to get you into it. Popular culture, TV shows, Twitter nowadays etc. don't help and 'legitimatize' it (everyone's talking about it that way, so everyone must be doing it that way, so it's OK to do it that way).

You might be good at "paying it off at the end of the month". A lot of people easily slip into credit card hell that way, because they _can't_ pay it off at the end of the month, because they didn't realize how much of their credit they should really be using. Credit card says you have $2000? Let's spend $2000. At the end of the month I only have $1500 left in my account? Oh crap!

Personally I pay it off in sort of regular intervals, since it's all right there in my online banking. I've never waited for a "credit card bill", even when they still sent them to me in actual dead tree form.
> the day that the Y outsells GL class cars, then I’ll eat humble pie.

Do you really have doubt this day isn't coming very soon? 2023 tops. Mercedes SUV are niche luxury. Tesla will only shed away price on the Y's due to declining battery prices, improved manufacturing with gigafactories, and their mission of reducing emissions by getting everyone into EV's.
> This could simply mean Google is requiring chips with hardware VP9 support

Almost definitely what they want but that isn't benign. There's very little user benefit here (lower bandwidth costs IF you're on a metered connection which is a tiny % of people) and lots of benefit to google/youtube (lower bandwidth!) and lots of extra cost to roku (these chips will cost more, at least in the short term). So google is basically forcing Roku to spend money to save google money.

That said, VP9 isn't just a good idea for Google. It's a good idea for everyone doing video delivery. Google and everyone else shouldn't be strong-arming Roku into deploying VP9-capable hardware they should be finding ways to help. Buy a billion dollars worth of VP9-capable chips for the next Chromecast on the condition that they cost no more than 10% more than H264-chips and the manufacturer agrees to sell to anyone at that price... or... something.
I don't disagree (and nor am I certain you are right), but if that is so, then there are some follow-on issues:

1) The system still has to react safely to pedestrians, cyclists and other entities outside of the network.

1.1) During the transition period, that is going to include vehicles driven by people (I do not think it will be feasible to ban the latter before self-driving vehicles are commonplace, except possibly in city centers and on some major highways.)

2) We do not want systems to learn how to take advantage of the protocol to drive aggressively and antisocially.
Keep in mind that the website in question seems to be a two-page CRUD website with no moving UI elements (save for opening and closing panels) that probably has not changed much in the last months save for some CSS edits.

How that in any way compares to a full blown application-in-browser like eg Figma or an infrastructure product like Stripe or a household brand marketplace like Airbnb that have to cater to various user groups, iterate at breakneck speeds and keep a triple/quadruple 9 uptime is beyond me.

>They're not saying that free speech has no exceptions whatsoever.

That is literally what they're saying - "Free Speech precisely means freedom from consequences" precisely means free speech has no exceptions whatsoever, because any possible exception by definition leads to a consequence which restricts speech.

Had they said free speech should have as few exceptions as possible, they would have.
Warnings that we should wear masks were called fake news

If I was in charge(and I should be, you should all appoint me dictator and get it over with already) we'd have a common sense solution to this problem. It's obvious what to do.

There are two kinds of speech- expressive speech and active speech. Expressive speech can be a rant, a dialogue, swearing, etc. You can call people the N word. That's all expressive. it is you expressing your opinions and your views. You have an absolute right to that and nobody should be able to challenge you on this.

Active speech is speech that seeks to push an action agenda or is supporting actions. When you talk about what you are doing -and- what you are doing is offensive, then your speech is an extension of your offensive actions and does not stand on it's own. As a result, it may not be protected, depending on if your actions are offensive, harmful, or even if someone just doesn't like them.

For example, if an employee says "i hate working here" and you terminate them for that, then you have violated their free speech.
if instead they say "bathroom strike #notworking to protest horrible job" and you terminate them for saying that, then you have not violated their free speech, you have acted upon the information presented in their words to respond to their actions or planned actions.

Apple is now rejecting apps caught using fingerprinting.
Yes, I use Verizon and my iPhone 12 regularly connects to 5G around my house and work in South East Michigan. I haven't noticed it being any faster than LTE when running speed tests, but I'm sure it will get better over time once they're no longer running in a hybrid deployment.
It's not impossible, it just takes planning and multiple technical steps. Until the last 6 months, no other cars had plug in and charge (with your car telling the charger the credit card number and/or car id)! You had to sign in to an app or scan your card on the charger itself.

Telsa also is the only car manu. was access to enough batteries to ship car in en masse. All the the companies making evs are significantly limited by batteries. Finally teslas have much better energy efficiency/mile. 800v charging and car systems is one area tesla is behind (they are 400v).
