Eh, we roadtrip in our Bolt, it's fine. We roadtripped in the Tesla, it was fine too. To go to grandma's house, which was way out in the sticks, we'd stop for a charge on the way there, and once on the way back, in either car.

The biggest difference is that there are more DC fast charging locations for non-Tesla EVs but they tend to have fewer chargers per location. Superchargers are less common but there are more chargers at each location.

Both chargers have less than stellar reliability, but I'd give Tesla the overall edge there. But the third-party networks are growing much faster overall, and the quality of their infrastructure is improving dramatically as well. At some point in the next couple years I expect Tesla will need to find a way to allow their cars to take advantage of these other fast-charging options, to stay competitive.

For example, overdoses and suicides are often quite difficult to distinguish.

Suicidal ideation does appear to have increased: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/mm6932a1.htm?s_cid=mm... But it doesn't correlate well to actual suicide rates. It's also quite possible that the emphasis on suicides has in fact raised awareness enough to prevent them. Or perhaps the way people are dealing with the stresses that lead to suicide has changed, resulting in that being expressed in some other way. Or a mix of all these factors.
The report had four categories, none of which seem to include bicycles.

The true covid death rate has been tricky to record in the UK, a positive test result within 28 days prior to death is recorded as a covid death, even if the death was caused by something else. We obviously don't know enough about COVID to know if it is contributing all the COVID registered deaths.

The generally accepted definition in the community is Tom Mitchell's:

> A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some task T and performance measure P, if its performance at task T, as measured by P, improves with experience E.

Statistical estimation methods are one way to achieve this, but not the only way, especially when an exact function can be learned, i.e. a typical layer 2 switch is a learning device. You don't program in the mapping from connected device MAC addresses to switch port, the switch itself learns this from receiving a message from a MAC on a port and then records the mapping. That is a very simple form of non-statistical machine learning.

I'm not really sure how you can start here but then say regression is not a form of machine learning. "Regression" is a pretty broad class of techniques that just means using labeled examples to estimate a function with a continuous response, typically contrasted with "classification," where the response is discrete. The method you use to do the function approximation may or may not be statistical. A genetic algorithm is not, for instance. I'm not sure least squares, which is what Legendre invented, should really be considered statistical, either. The original purpose was for approximating the solution to an overdetermined system of equations, before statistics was even formalized. It certainly became a preferred method in mathematical statistics, but mathematical statistics wasn't even formalized until later. It didn't start being called "regression" until Galton published his paper showing children of exceptionally tall or short people tended to regress to the mean, which was 80 years later. But you're performing regression analysis whether you use the normal equations, LU decomposition, QR decomposition, a genetic algorithm, gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent, stochastic gradient descent with dropout. Doesn't matter. As long as you're doing function approximation with a continuous response, it's still regression. Whether or not it can also be considered "machine" learning just depends on whether you're doing it by hand or via machine.

Though sure, typically people tend to imagine the more exotic and newer techniques that scale to very large data sets and reduce overfitting and deal with noise automatically and involve hyperparameters, i.e. not least squares.
You should try to finish it, it's pretty satisfying.

Do note some mysteries have more than one solution. It makes sense, when you think that "who" did "what" to "whom" has more than one possible interpretation, and the game tends to accept most of them as valid!
I think I will.

An ordinary camera would work if mounted rigidly to the car, you could shoot a video and then take out the center line after the fact. 55 miles/hour is about 80 ft/sec so the horizontal resolution is a little bit more than a foot with a 60 fps video, you could make out houses but not read house numbers.

I think most webcams have a low-level interface that would let you read out part of the display without reading the rest so getting a better frame rate could be done at low cost too.

As part of the 41% that recently swapped out their "gas guzzler" Porsche for a Tesla M3, I can confirm that they're ready for prime time.

The Tesla Supercharging experience has been pretty great. The route planner calculates charging stops automatically and you only need to wait 5-10 mins to top off ~100 miles before you're back on the road.

Without the Superchargers, though, the experience would be pretty terrible - how is the current charging station grid for non-Tesla EVs?
In the early 2000s you could reasonably expect people to have access to a desktop computer of some description and this advice would've been somewhat valid. In 2021, nobody really assumes you have access to a desktop computer anymore, but we do assume people have access to a mobile device of some description. In that world, a $300 mobile is a much saner investment than a $300 PC for most people.
Don't give hate a chance, guys. Just ask people to use `editor` to edit text files, it will open the default editor on their OS (at least Debian).

Statistically speaking, that's a low percentage of card theft.

You're much more likely to have your card information stolen at a physical, point of sale location - Restaurant, gas station, clothing store, etc.

If this is really a concern you have, a disposable credit card is a much more reliable way to prevent unauthorized charges.

> But if I’m going to share my info with someone, I would rather it be Apple than the likes of Google, epic, or some random app that’s allowed to take payments using whatever they want.

You're already sharing this info with all of these folks, plus many, many, many more. This is what I mean when I say your bank is selling that data to affiliated parties.

Basically - what makes you think this information is private? Apple has it and uses it to make money. Your bank has it and uses it to make money. Apple happens to be large enough and enough of a monopoly that they can generate money from that information without directly selling it (at the moment, in some places). But they're doing the same thing - Profiling you to make money.

The second Apple thinks it will make more money by selling that information, they will. Not to mention it's a tad on the late side, since your bank is already sharing it everywhere.
Statistics do not prove intent, unless you want us to use the same data to prove that the Justice system is an order of magnitude more sexist than racist because 2000% more men are killed then women. The numbers for incarceration rates and sentencing disparities are similar damning.

If we go by the data in the study, the likelihood of death by cop in the US is determined by age first, gender second, race third. If we look at other studies we can add social economical factors, geographic location, geopolitical and cultural factors, all which has correlation impact with age, gender and race.

> In the UK a study predicts a 7.9-9.6% increase in breast cancer deaths within 5 years of diagnosis due to diagnostic delays caused by COVID. [...]
Basically I guess what I'm really trying to get at is that while COVID is certainly a terrible disease, there seems to have been little to no cost-benefit analysis performed by policy makers regarding the lockdowns and other attempts to combat it.

I see this line of reasoning a lot, even in mainstream media here in Sweden, but it seems flawed to me. As I see it diagnostic delays and delayed elective care is caused by a lack of lockdown or other stringent decease control measures. It’s when hospitals are overrun by people infected with SARS-CoV-2 that they have to delay other care. This happens due to rapid spread of the virus, which happens when lockdown is not imposed.

What’s the argument for the parents opposite line of reasoning?
Actually, the figure 14.2% does not even appear in the research article. The experiment was between two groups of random Mechanical Turk workers: one group was not shown the cost breakdown while the other group was. The workers answered how likely they were to buy the product on a scale from 1 to 7. If you calculate the average increase from one group to the other, sure enough the number you get is 14.2% but it is not a probability.
> Social media did a lot to foster outrage and destroy nuanced thinking.

Way before social media, there was short wave radio, then cable news which introduced the 24-hour news cycle, and entertainment-shows-disguised-as-news with their permanently outraged talking heads (think Rachel Maddow or Tucker Carlson).

Political polarization is older than social media, and it wasn't emergent - it was a deliberate political tactic and it worked well enough until the other side adopted it too. It's like an iterated prisoner's dilemma and both sides are now locked into a cycle of defecting - doing otherwise makes no sense, and there aren't many deescalation off-ramps.

The Danube can't take anywhere near the throughput of the Suez Canal, though. The Rhein-Main-Donau canal, one of the bottlenecks on the route, sees about 6 million tons of shipping a year and can handle boats with a draft of 2 metres.[0] The Suez Canal handles the same tonnage every day and handles ships up to 20m draft. So this would not make a dent in shipping from Suez to Rotterdam, it would just be a nice bonus for anyone delivering from the Med to, say, Belgrade.

How does this relate to the comment that you're replying to?
I don't remember if the ABI kind of made it so that they can't increase that constant. Like if the next meaningful return code started at 65... As I recall they had this WAIT_OBJECT_0 + offset scheme, maybe offset 65 was something else meaningful? It's been a while.

But if they had meaningfully increased that, then they would run into the same scaling problems as poll(2) - since the return code gives you an index, you wouldn't have to loop through the handle set in user mode like pollfd requires, but every syscall would need an O(n) scan of the HANDLE[] array on the kernel side. You need something like iocp/epoll/kqueue where kernel mode has a list of interesting handles, that doesn't need to be scanned and copied at every syscall.

Biden’s $4T Economic Plan, in One Chart
Here's a longer answer:

I actually really wish i could (and other companies could), because I think it would make for some really interesting papers/studies/etc.

We normally publish a bunch of our productivity, inclusion, etc research in journals and conferences. For example, https://www.computer.org/csdl/journal/ts/5555/01/09361116/1r...

For this particular topic, I believe we have published some small amount of stuff, and there is some public info in articles like this:
https://www.cnbc.com/2020/11/18/how-google-improved-employee...

But I know for both us, and others i've talked to, there is a bunch of good reasons folks don't want to publish the more raw data, some privacy, some competitive, some legal, etc.

In this case, not releasing the data often means we don't publish more formal papers or studies because of the inability to make the underlying data available with the paper (for example).

I will say while this situation is a bit sad to me from an academic perspective, pragmatically, even with all the data from us, MS, apple, etc, i don't think it would pragmatically answer the broader questions for a whole ton of reasons.

It's definitely useful for research and further exploration, and trying to distill overall considerations and insight. It's probably useful on the internet to spike someone who says "WFH is more productive" or "Office is more productive".

But mourning has, in any case, changed greatly from Queen Victoria's time. It used to be a far more public life event for everyone. In the modern era, funerals are almost invisible on social media.

> Web apps don't require less trust than proper ones. Their developers can use dark patterns, abuse your data, etc.

They do, mostly because the browser allows it.

> I have no idea why you think I mind hypertext

Perhaps a better model would be that the web shouldn't be hypertext by default (or can be something else), and instead that hypertext is one of the possible formats for something on the web, along with others - the web would be the "envelope" and not the definition of the content.

If you follow your line of thought to the end, then the conclusion would be that we should be left to pure hypertext.

> Are you seriously claiming zooming is not an accessibility feature?

No, I'm claiming that there's no reason to not allow someone to control the behaviour of certain parts of the browser when browsing a web property of someone else, as long as it doesn't pose a security risk. While at it, the browser could implement white listing of actions, data, and other details that the web property has access to without my consent. If I visit a website for a game and it tells me "this website is going to: - disable zoom - change your scrollbars - change the right click button; check which ones you agree/do you agree" there's no loss of accessibility. And the same for scripts, watching mouse input, text typing, hijacking the back button, showing me popups, etc. Of course that would be technically very challenging to implement.

> Please stop the flaming.

The first rule is if you don't like something done to you, you shouldn't do it to others. Once you do you have to man up.

> Sure. And once there are strict accessibility laws, worldwide, that everyone follows, and all the legacy software has been replaced, we can give developers control over zooming again.

Why do they need to be strict and before-hand?
I probably could've worded it a bit better.

The point is you could spend hours actually developing subtleties in engineering, especially in timing and mixing, to produce something profound.

Or you could get a drum machine and a 303, and get someone sexy to sing/rap/speak over the top, make a video, and save a lot of time. A lot of pop music these days is quite simple, except for the singing, which I can admit is talented, but it's more about personality/fashion than music.

Because he/she stated it as a personal opinion while the other person said it as a matter of fact that couldn't be questioned.

I'll go a step further and actually suggest that authoritarian lockdown measure haven't done as much as they've been touted as doing. This is pretty easy to see by comparing states with less lockdown measures vs. ones that went full economy shutdown. Most of the "open" states aren't any worse off than the ones who went lockdown crazy and in some cases they're actually better off when you look at spread and death.
How to implement an exponential backoff retry strategy in JavaScript

I've been there (though not recently and not in an EV). And you'll find charging of some form everywhere you find gas, including the stretch of I70 in that article. (Actually in this case it's trivial for Teslas: there are superchargers in both Green River and Richfield, 123mi apart. I don't see any non-Tesla DC supercharging in Green River though.) Check https://plugshare.com if you just want to see charging facilities.

In general anywhere in the USA that is "on" an Interstate is solved problem for EVs. If you want to drive on I-whatever you're covered. The question above was about getting to remote areas far from infrastructure. And even there you need to work really hard to be far from a wall outlet.

Again, incremental costs to build out (non-supercharger) vehicle charging is much cheaper than installing a gas station, because it's ultimately just freeloading on the long-established electrical infrastructure.
> (including plug-in hybrids and fully electric models)

This includes plugin hybrids, so it's not that 10% of cars sold in Europe are BEV's. Majority of those are actually plugin hybrids.

And this already gives us like 90% of the environmental benefits. Sure BEV is more environementally friendly. But with PHEV's we can get more total amount of electrical kilometers driven on the road. And one only needs to be able to charge at home, no need to care about charging infrastructure yet. But when it improves one can use it just fine.

Basically you drive your daily commute with electricity, but when you go to summer cabin then you can use gasoline as usual.

This is an example of Finland, registrations for last month (march 2021):
6197 pure gasoline cars (includes non chargeable hybrids)
2121 Plugin-hybrids (gasoline)
1139 diesel
789 BEV
78 Plugin-hybrids (diesel)

At this rate it won't take many years anymore until pretty much all the new cars sold here will be chargeable, even if some of em still have ICEs inside them too.

I'm just about to change my winter heating socket into a charging outlet, and move into plugin hybrid. It just makes so much sense here. Because due to high gas taxes when driving with electricity it costs around 20-30% of what it costs to drive with gasoline. So it's simply a no brainer in economical sense.

I've been writing about application authorization here: https://www.osohq.com/academy/chapter-2-architecture (I'm CTO at Oso, but these guides are not Oso specific). It covers this in the later part of the guide.

Depending on your requirements, yes that's kind of what happens if you want to centralise. It can make sense for Google-scale problems where you really do need to handle the complex graph of relationships between all users and resources, and doing that in any one service is non-trivial.

In practice though, a lot of service-oriented architectures can get the same benefits by having a central user management service, and keeping most of the authorization in each service. That central service can provide information like what organizations/teams/roles etc. the user belongs to, and then the individual services can make decisions based on that data.

This is the approach I covered with the hybrid approach. With this you can still implement most complex authorization models.
