> In that time your car will be sitting idle and it can be topping up ready for the return trip.

The example was to Monterey, a trip I do (did) very often to take the kid to the aquarium.

Parking on the street, there's no charging to be had, so no, car isn't topping up.

I never took the electric car to Monterey, I'd be stranded.
That’s one implementation of a similar idea in RDBMSs, although they generally require manually refreshing them when desired. I think I’ve heard that some RDBMSs also allow you to apply normal inserts and updates to materialized views if you want to manually keep them up to date as well, although I’ve never tried that approach.
Not sure that's public but with the Candian EFTs:

> If you have access to LIDAR and RADAR, why not use them?

I think LIDAR is a very expensive part (~$10,000). Also, it is difficult to integrate with the car's design such that it does not make the car ugly. Tesla probably does not want to do a separate self-driving testing fleet, instead they want to use the existing Teslas on road to get training data. So they cannot use LIDAR in all cars sold to users.

I am sure if fully functional LIDAR units magically start selling for $100-$500 Tesla will start using them.
I'd also be surprised. Even more so with grown-ups, most of them don't even hear >20kHz.

Nice. Check this out too https://htmlhead.dev
The technique as it isn't new of course, but I doubt this specific implementation (checking for module-supporting JS) is standard practice for a decade.
It is a gamble, but also betting on LIDAR is a gamble, as it could be a pit to fall in if it turns out not to be beneficial. The big benefit of LIDAR is, it gives you very good 3D data about your environment. Unfortunately, it completely misses a lot of information which is essential for driving and actually a lot of our traffic rules are based on things which you cannot detected with LIDAR: traffic signs, traffic lights and so on (you could detect the sign itself with high precision, but not what it reads).

This means, LIDAR could just be additional sensor data augmenting the camera information. But it adds a huge cognitive load when combining the data. Besides the costs of the LIDAR system itself, it adds to the computational costs. Once the 3D-data from the cameras only is "good enough", you might get better results by spending the available compute resources rather on improving the analysis of the visual data alone. And the 3D data Tesla seems to be getting from the cameras seems to be pretty good already.

The big elephant in the room isn't to recognize a road sign correctly, it is to decide, whether it applies to the car or a different lane, road or whether it is actually a burger king logo :). There LIDAR might be just a distraction.

It will be interesting to see how the autonomic car race will pan out. Especially, when competitors are using different strategies. That als ensures, that not everyone is going into the wrong direction.

If 1-on-1 and group therapy isn't your thing, you might look into T-Groups [0][1]. The ones I've attended were mostly social interactions with strangers where there was an expectation everyone would give blunt, straight-forward feedback as to how people's communication was landing. The facilitators also had a few structured learning/exercises to keep things moving, but most of it was group directed. T-Groups are popular in MBA programs as a way to help future leaders better understand their communication styles, be more authentic and more receptive to noticing the reactions of the people they're leading. They're somewhat of a middle ground between group therapy and communications training exercises that you see in some corporate settings. But they can be pretty powerful in surfacing feedback that people are normally too polite to give you directly as well as giving you structured practice in building authentic relationships.

You're right, modern code definitely shouldn't use them. But there's a lot of code that isn't remotely modern so we still have to support them.

Also nobody ever bothered to add a better string library to the standard C library so lots of people who write C just take the lazy route and use `strlen` etc.
My numbers almost exactly match yours. I’ve been using “Coconut Battery” for about fifteen years to track this on various MacBooks.

The death spiral starts at 80%. Newer Macs and iPhones now get pretty aggressive about pushing users to seek service.

Also worth noting that, as of Big Sur, MacBooks that are mostly used plugged-in will not too off past 80% until asked. I expect that this will pay off bigly for consumers.

Those are all great games and great suggestions, but they are also very heavy and and long games. Even with skilled players, you won't be able to complete a session of Terraforming Mars in less than two hours.

While Catan is not a perfect game, it's a perfect beginners game: a bit of luck, but a bit of strategy, lots of player interaction, and not too long.
At the same time, it also shows its age, in that there are newer games that are beginner friendly and eliminate some of Catan's shortcomings.

Your main point, however, is still often forgotten: the oars games have come a long way since 1935 and even 1997.

This an option the German postal service provides. It works quite well. There are different levels of identity verfication available, and employees are able to complete the lower levels at your door.

An personal example I had a few years ago was signing a cellphone contract online. The postal employee delivered the sim card after verifying my identiy at the door (you can't get phone contracts without ID around here).

For the higher levels one has to go to the postal office, and it includes a bit more paperwork. These are only used for higher sums, mine was for a bigger leasing contract for my company.

> create drama as if this was somehow an unsolved problem threatening Humanity

The number one issue people around me have when talking about EVs isn't even range or cold these days, it's that they read somewhere batteries aren't recycled, together with some total cost back of the envelope calculation that showed an EV pollutes at least as much as a fossil fuel vehicle. Some of them are convinced hydrogen and fuel cells are the only way forward.

Now, I try to formulate rebuttals based on my engineering knowledge, but I tried to do my homework and could not find reliable information.

My hunch is EV is a young, rapidly scaling product class/industry/market (compared to entrenched fossil fuel engines) so the process has to scale up to be cost efficient and even work at all, it just can't happen overnight, but that no, they're not going to throw batteries in landfills.

My second hunch is that those otherwise green-biased, reasonable people get strangely irate about the thing to the point of persisting with buying ICEs so I'm thinking there's some agenda carried through memetic manipulative propaganda somewhere around it.
If it's a Leaf, losing 25% of the range may make the battery no longer useful, because the Leaf's range is just barely adequate for many people.

If it's a Tesla with a 300+ mile range, assuming the owner has a home charger, the difference in range really only matters on long road trips, and 225 miles is still adequate to drive long distances, albeit more slowly. The owner is not likely to replace the pack at this level of degradation.

The theory that ivermectin’s anti-viral activity is dependent on unachievable tissue concentrations is incorrect as follows:

In the cell culture study by Caly et al from Monash University in Australia, although very high concentrations of ivermectin were used, this was not a human model. Humans have immune and circulatory systems working in concert with ivermectin, thus concentration required in humans have little relation to concentrations used in a laboratory cell culture. Further, prolonged durations of exposure to a drug likely would require a fraction of the dosing in a short-term cell model exposure.
There are multiple mechanisms by which ivermectin is thought to exert its anti-viral effects, with the least likely mechanism that of the blocking of importins as theorized in the Monash study above. These other mechanisms are not thought to require either supraphysiologic doses or concentrations and include
competitive binding of ivermectin with the host receptor-binding region of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, limiting binding to the ACE-2 receptor;
binding to the SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp), thereby inhibiting viral replication (Swargiary, 2020);
binding/interference with multiple essential structural and non-structural proteins required by the virus in order to replicate.
The theory that ivermectin would need supraphysiologic tissue concentration to be effective is most strongly disproven by the now 24 controlled clinical trials which used standard doses of ivermectin yet reported large clinical impacts in reducing rates of transmission, deterioration, and mortality.

It’s important to have a good working environment with clear boundaries between work and private:

- Work starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point with a pause or pauses.

- Only work happens on the work computer, no work happens on the private computer.

- Keep private distractions away when you work (put your phone in another room)
> Why does it have to be a free charging station?

I think he means unoccupied.

> Now, you obviously need to use something like google maps to plan your trip, to make sure the place you're going to has a charging station.

What if the place you're going doesn't have a charger? I run into this issue a lot. I got on a trip that only requires one charge in between but, if I'm going to a family members house, they don't have a dc fast charger at their house. That means, even though my car is sitting in their driveway for a few hours, I still need to stop for 45 minutes on my way home.
Chromecast video quality is atrocious though. I have a Chromecast Ultra on my Roku TV (TCL 6-series QLED) considered to be a mid-range panel and has decent color accuracy, but on Chromecast all of it is out the window, the same video on the YouTube TV (native app) on Roku is so much better looking and accurate.

Not sure who’s to blame here.
Yes. Or, spend less time inside. That we spend so much time inside is a unique feature of our time, and a very bad one.

Regardless of air or sunshine (which are both extremely important to our physical health), not being outside makes us unhappy. People who work outside often sing while working; when was the last time you heard someone sing in an office.
The classic answer to your question is that if income tax is flat, then overall taxation is degressive, which most people consider unfair.

There are taxes (and comparable unavoidable/imposed costs) related to many expenses. VAT is often mentioned, but is far from the only one. People with low income need to spend a higher fraction of their income than people whose income allows more saving, and thus pay more VAT viewed as a share of their income. There are many others. Schooling is mandatory in most countries and generally involves a cost per child imposed on the parents (because the public financing never covers 100% of the school's needs), so the costs imposed by the state as fraction of the parents' income is degressive.

BTW, regarding that "unsustainable public spending"... if the interest rate the state pays is stable and low, then what makes the borrowing unsustainable? Surely the lenders' judgment of state finances is the one that matters.

I always see it like this, if it's cold you can put on more clothes (you probably already have them, and they don't waste energy to wear). When it's hot, there's a certain societal lower threshold for what you're allowed to wear in an office (depending on the office shorts are ok, but not less). So you can't individually cool down.
The in-your-face disclaimer at the top is really not needed. The site looks fine.

> Where did the post you reply to mention "racists and sexists"?

The post pessimizer responded to explicitly mentions neonazis.
Even if this policy were intended to be used this way, or winds up being used this way, (which I don't support), it still seems better than the alternative. If you reference your husband and somebody says "Aaah, political, can't say that" - do you want to be sharing personal details with this person? Would you prefer they engaged you in a debate about gay marriage or told you their anti-gay feelings? Prefer they sit in silence stewing with hatred of you?

If you have anti-gay coworkers who buzz you for anodyne references like this you could just not talk to them or buzz them for their references to wives, girlfriends, whatever. You could escalate to management or HR if you felt they were treating you unfairly.

If the corporate policy permits politics at worse, that would seem to make situation worse, not better.

> It’s not the only one, I suppose. But you’re painting it as if it’s not the primary one. It is far and away a position held by those who also profess conservative political values. I understand the hair you’re trying to split, but I don’t feel it’s worth splitting.

Maybe in Afghanistan, but not in the US. The majority of Republicans support gay marriage. Out of those that don’t, few would find “the existence” of a gay person “offensive” even if they reject extending state sanction to gay marriage. For a long time many Americans opposed re-marriage for divorced people. That doesn’t mean they found the existence of divorced people offensive.

I don’t see the point in treating everything short of complete acceptance as equivalent to opposing someone’s “existence.” Some people in America don’t want, as a matter of government policy, immigrants like me coming to the US from Muslim countries. They’re not opposed to “my existence”—invariably they’ll leave me alone if I leave them alone.
An apology should actually contain admission of wrongdoing and an attempt at making amends, as well as an honest undertaking to not repeat that wrongdoing.

UoM got caught doing wrong. Their "why" doesn't help because their actions are rightly seen by their targets as malicious. This is like breaking into a store, trying to steal something, getting caught and them saying "well done! We were just testing!" Yet this was without any agreement that such testing was prior sanctioned: their actions must be seen as malicious. They set out to deliberately do something where they could be caught. They did get caught. They didn't have permission to test.

They need to actually apologize and make amends. Otherwise they might get the idea that trying again is acceptable. The next time they do this things will be even worse.

So what was the damage or harm? Loss of trust is one big ticket item. They wasted other's time and effort. Some important feature or functionality was delayed and is likely still being delayed. Or documentation not written. Even something as simple as "enthusiasm to volunteer" might be damaged. These aren't trivial aspects to be ignored.
Chromecast Ultra has an Ethernet port. But the color accuracy is off and the video quality (atleast on Chromecast YouTube) seems poorer (overblown highlights, inaccurate colors, etc) vs Native YouTube app on Roku.

I live in a relatively new building in NL, where many of these configurations are applied and on its own it won’t go lower than 21C in winter and 25C in summer. Thick walls, thick anhydrous cement floor layer for insulation (although I think it’s also meant to give the option to implement floor heating), _external_ blinds on the South side.

I simply can’t justify a smart thermostat/radiator valve build, despite my inside nerd constantly whispering I should.

Only downside is the heat exchanger air recirculator: it dries the air terribly in winter. You need a humidifier to avoid getting parched skin and mucosa.

> But to others, "politics at work" means "are we paying women and men the same for doing the same job?" and "are our recruiting practices leading to a non-diverse workforce and missing out on great people who should work here?" and "what problems does our company sole, and for whom?". These are really important questions. Why wouldn't you want to bring them up at work?

I really detest such things, and the "problem" is easily solved by "I don't give a fuck".

I don't give a fuck if you are male or female, or anything in between, if you are, black, white, yellow or whatever, neither do I care about your sexual preferences, or your religion. And neither should anyone else care.

I do care about how well you can do your job, how well you fit in our team, etc.

I helped hire most of our team members, and by luck they are very diverse in all of the above mentions traits. But who should care?

This is 2021, nobody should give a fuck about those things anymore. If you do, in either direction, you're part of the problem, not the solution.
> Then there are issues where people don't precisely remember what was said during the meeting and it having to be repeated in chat.

In my experience that's crucial, after meetings there must be a short summary of what was discussed and decided, what are the next steps for everyone, and what they need to report on, and when are those expected.

There are times we ditch video too and go audio-only if it's really important, otherwise things are only discussed in chat. When working with people in other timezones that's where async chat communication really shows its value.
