Do they ever use a parked carrier to power something? It seems like it would be useful to run at least a portion of a base using a carrier anchored in the harbor, or as response to downed power infrastructure after a natural disaster. Quick googling indicates an aircraft carrier allegedly could be able to power 12,000 homes.

>Does the steering column selector stalk go through the ui (and therefore is interceptable by the supposedly compromised interface) or is it directly connected to the 'backend' below?

It is directly connected to the 'backend' below and doesn't go through the infotainment system/UI.

You can manually kick off a reboot of the infotainment system on a Tesla while you are waiting at a traffic light, and still drive like usual just fine if the light goes green a second after. The only non-functional stuff will be the visuals on the screen and anything infotainment related (like playing music). All driving aspects are preserved even with the infotainment system being broken/in the middle of a reboot.

Again we’re not having a legal argument before a judge here. You keep saying things about what your boss or someone else can or can’t do.

That’s specifically not the discussion: you quoted the part of the OPs comment that called out the inappropriate behavior many like to engage in and agreed that it was wrong, but questioned its relevance to our discussion, it’s relevant bec many ppl don’t see it as inappropriate. Whether or not it’s legal is an entirely different discussion.
For me, it's when I am consciously paying attention to more than one thing either "at the same time" (watching YouTube while cooking) or in rapid succession (run unit tests in the IDE, check email, look at story in JIRA, look at the weather on my phone, go back to the IDE to fix a failing test, ...).

I was in this mode for years, racing around on overdrive, and I've been slowly learning to do One. Thing. At. A. Time. again. It's been hard because the habit is so ingrained. And probably also because it 'feels' like I'm less productive.

Am I anywhere denying that cheaters don’t appear kind and helpful? But it’s just surface level shine, they leave a trail of destruction behind that is inimaginable to normal empathetic people. Kind, enpathetic and helpful people that you’ve known for a long time are a different thing entirely, and they too are doing it out of self interest and that is to build a network of trust. The logic is simple. If you help someone today, that help comes back to you one day. If everybody helps eachother it becomes a net benefit for all. Cheaters exploit this system and if I catch them and if it’s in my powers I will punish them harshly.

Tell HN: “X commits since” links removed on GitHub releases page
Today I noticed on GitHub that the typical links for "X commits to branch since this release" are no longer visible on the /releases page of GitHub repositories. They are still visible after clicking on a specific release, but not on the /releases overview page which lists all releases.

This is an example of GitHub website regressing since Microsoft acquired it.

I want to be able to see how many commits have been made since each release on a single page overview, and I want to be able to easily click on the links.

Please open a support ticket with GitHub to let them know about this issue.

> But the agency ruled that the BSE test was licensed only for "surveillance" of animal health, and rejected Creekstone's request because it implied "a consumer safety aspect" that was "not scientifically warranted."

I read this as "you can test your animals if you want to, but you can't then use the results to make any claim or statement about them". I suspect they're free to test their animals, but not free to stamp "100% tested BSE-free beef!" on their steaks. I suspect this is what's meant by "surveillance". If that's the case, I agree with the gov't; private testing shouldn't be used to make claims. But it could be used for internal product safety, and if anything comes back positive, the USDA could be brought in to verify and take action.

It's not entirely clear to me from the article.
This sounds like a good article, I'll check it out. However, the claim that free trade doesn't lead to gains for losers in the economic sense is inaccurate. The poorest people worldwide have seen massive improvements to quality of life, even if things aren't perfect. Looking just at historical infant mortality rates, food/water access, education, and other broad metrics indicates life has been massively improving over the last century, worldwide. It's naive to think that free trade hasn't contributed to that.

As a quick example, free trade has allowed more developed nations (like the US) to leverage the labor markets in less developed nations, like China. As a result, money has flowed into those labor markets and increased the quality of life in those areas.

To be clear, those labor markets aren't perfect, and free trade as a universal good is a ridiculous idea. My point is just that free trade has led to a lot of good the world over and the referenced statement is over simplifying something that is very complicated.

okay, there is a robust repurchase agreement (repo) market on the Ethereum network that allows for anyone to enter the repo market to settle trades of practically unlimited sizes.

before last year this was exclusively the domain of investments banks given the privilege of using the Federal Reserve's overnight repo market. Where the Federal Reserve would provide hundreds of billions of liquidity and destroy it at the end of the trade, allowing the banks to use credit to finish deals overnight.

in the Ethereum network anyone is allowed to use this, it is called "flash loans" in that market, and as always, writing any transaction on the Ethereum network requires the use of ETH, the native fuel necessary to commit transaction to the state machine and save the state.

flash loans = repo market

the difference being that on the Ethereum network, people borrow from liquidity pools, instead of newly created dollars like when a central bank is involved. this has much greater accountability and confidence. the transactions are executed in one block, if it is not possible for the operation to return capital to the liquidity pool then the transaction fails and it was never executed, but the person that attempted it still pays the transaction fee in ETH as the nodes still did use compute time.

Ether is just necessary to access compute nodes on the Ethereum network - specifically to write, as reading is free - no different than dollars are necessary to access compute nodes on the AWS Lambda network. Its not that complicated. If you don't need to write to compute nodes, and you are also not providing collateral to liquidity pools, then you don't need Ether.

It's entirely possible for Apple or Mozilla (just for example) to run a service checking URLs. In fact they already do this IIRC. They could easily replace all of these redirect links with the real link. Thus every unique link would be visited exactly once. By Apple. Not tracked.

if facebooks non objective policies are enforced fairly and consistently.

But that is the sort of thing I doubt is actually possible. My interpretation of content that 'incites violence' will differ from someone else's. If we create more rules to define any phrase, we only shift the subjectivity out to concepts within the original phrase (eg: we agree on a definition of 'incitement', but then wind up disagreeing about what constitutes a 'threat' or 'bodily harm' or some other part of our definition)

What is more honest is to say 'our policy for moderating this area of FB is our employee Alice here. If Alice thinks your post doesn't belong here, it's gone!' That's close to the way message boards used to work.

How many people could conceivably be downwind of a nuclear meltdown? I think it could be much much more than that.

That's just meltdowns. Given that you can also use nuclear material to create weapons, I'd also point you toward Hiroshima and Nagasaki as examples.

> what benefit he received from fighting with regulators... whether he committed those actions... and that anytime Musk is in the news is good for the stock price?

The direct answer to your question is, since Robinhood users like those n-th order fights, he still got a benefit through the rising Tesla prices those Robinhood users caused.

But you're doing the thing where you're trying to make a model or a theory that starts stepping away from the direct mechanisms of action these people have now to affect stock prices.

I'm saying that a tweet from the Peloton CEO that just said "regulators are big doodoo heads" - if there are more Robinhood users who buy Peloton at ask than everyone else, and they like this tweet, the price will rise because that's how prices rise.

That's why you don't need a lawyer, you don't need the professional advice or the experts, if you're Elon Musk and your goal is to make stock prices rise.

What you're really trying to ask is, "When do smart people decide to stop being intellectually honest?" The answer is, as long as the intellectually honest text is longer than a short, simpler, stock-raising tweet with verisimilitude, people will choose short and high in verisimilitude over longer but true.
I mean, if everything runs at a loss, we eventually all starve to death.

I think there's a big difference between running things "for profit," which I agree is not always necessary, and attempting to run things "cash flow positive."

When we have resources like electricity that are very feasible to charge for, one of the best ways to make sure our overall system is operating efficiently and not just wasting resources is to charge for the resource and aim for slight cash-flow positive - the goal being to break even with a small margin for error.

If break-even isn't economical under the current market rules, but something is a social good we want to maintain, like nuclear power, we can adjust the rules of the market. This actually makes sense for base load power, as we know there's a floor that we don't want to fall beneath, and renewables are so elastic that we sometimes fall below that floor. Plus the transmission network needs to be kept in balance, so we can't actually handle huge swings in power.

But the solution here is not to say "profit is killing our planet," it's to fix the rules of the market to get the outcome we want. Profit, in general, is a good thing. But yes, sometimes the system gets into a state where bad outcomes are profitable, and we do need to fix that.

> This might seem like a sensible approach, until you realize that it eliminates, by definition, any chance for nuclear power to be cheaper than its competition. Nuclear can‘t even innovate its way out of this predicament: under ALARA, any technology, any operational improvement, anything that reduces costs, simply gives the regulator more room and more excuse to push for more stringent safety requirements, until the cost once again rises to make nuclear just a bit more expensive than everything else. Actually, it‘s worse than that: it essentially says that if nuclear becomes cheap, then the regulators have not done their job.
