You can at least entertain the idea, bad ideas spin themselves apart at the planning stage.

"I have a mobile smal bbq kit at home. I could bring that in for a try tomorrow. But were do we bbq. Fire detectors go off inside the building, so should be outside. Will bring it, but i wont grill out there in the rain, im for a rotating job on that. Volunteers?" There - death by self-execution. And you didnt even murder it by pulling hierarchy, which is always a good way to create a contribution dead company, were everyone just waits for the clock to go forward.

There is more to managing then making decisions (like in the movies). And in reality it should be more of a supportive role. And yes, sometimes you must entertain doomed ideas (like flying bicycles - those wright brothers, i kid you not).
Ångström is the shit
I was on the market for a new car this year in Europe and was happily surprised that every European brand now, not just VW, is offering a fully electrical model, at least, and several traditional models are offered as plugin-hybrids as well.

Audi has the e-tron[1] already, and plans to have every model it sells come with a fully electric version before 2030[2].

BMW has been selling the i3 fully electric model since 2013, now has several other electric cars[3] (including the iX, the first one it designed from scratch to be an electric car, and the ix3, an electric version of the popular X3) and most of its models come as plugin hybrid (I ended up buying an X1 plugin-hybrid, the electric models are still really expensive compared to hybrid, which are themselves really expensive compared to the old combustion engine models - but worth it because you save loads of money if the electric range is enough for your daily trips, like for me, and due to government bonuses and much lower taxation!).

Mercedez seems to have started a bit late, but now it's keeping up with BMW and also offers many plugin-hybrid models as well as the new EQ line[4] which is fully electric (I drove the EQC and it's amazing - the luxury of Mercedez with the modernity of a Tesla - but just a little too pricey for me).

Other brands are following the same pattern. For example, Seat has a new sub-brand called Cupra[5] which offers a more affordable fully electrical, but still pretty awesome, model called Formentor which seems to be getting pretty popular in my country. Volvo now offers the XC40 with a pure electric engine[6] or plugin-hybrid... and it has a subsidiary to challenge Tesla called Polestar[7] which makes highly performant electrical vehicles similar to Teslas.

Finally, Renault Zoe[8] is a fully electrical, small vehicle that is pretty popular in Europe (where small cars are more convenient to use in cities).

That doesn't align with my experience. In my experience, they pretend to care about the employee, but when the employer is in the wrong, even in an obvious way, they will side with the employer in the blink of an eye every time instead of trying to reason with the employer.
>Tesla owns VW now.

One is a company that make less money selling cars than trading bitcoins and emission certificates. The other is selling more cars than anyone else. It's less than 500.000 cars a year versus 2.8 million cars with just one brand from the VW group (out of 12).

Edit: According to VW's news site "Volkswagen delivered around 5.3 million vehicles in 2020". That does not include vans or trucks.

Tesla likely won't survive as a car company when other car makers stop needing their emissions certificates. Tesla would be deep in the red today if it didn't live off other income than cars. Look at their official numbers if in doubt. In 2025 Tesla will likely be an investment firm selling some cars.

To the (flagged) comments about China stealing research: I’ll abstract from lack of evidence.

Just stealing isn’t enough. Russia, I believe, ended up admitting stealing research on the Space Shuttle, and despite that their own project never really materialised. Even. You steal, that lets you catch up, not overtake.

So even if China is helping themselves (again, I don’t know), they still have to innovate and improve. Good on them if they do. And then, their own technology is also ripe for the taking if that’s how the game works.

It’s all progress one way or the other.

Not to drag on the OP but I really wonder about people who are the subject of these articles who supposedly migrate from x to y to z, because at least for me I'm still using emacs like I did 10 years ago. The things I focus on is more about doing work than what tool I'm using.

Do people really migrate or is this more about growth in a user-base? A higher rate of growth of one user-base relative to another user-base is not strictly due to people migrating (as if it's zerosum) but could be due to a tool capturing more new users, like junior developers and such. How often do people really migrate wrt tools they actually use for work?
The more valuable part was the technology transfer.
I have a basement, and use that to work out. (Canuck here, this is more reliable for me, than convincing myself to work out at -40C or +40C.)

I have a bike machine, which works well in front of a TV for some of my workout. Yet I found walking in large laps in my basement, to be preferable to a treadmill. Just the fact that my scenery changes, my view changes, even if I've seen it all a million times, seems to make a massive difference. I often end up thinking of work, or life in general, and my walking time is up before I know it.

I agree 100% outside is better, but even just circles in the basement seems better than a treadmill...

Iterating over characters is not that much more useful than iterating over code units, actually (the only sensible use cases I can think of right now are things you should never really have to worry about implementing at the application level, such as sorting or comparing strings). For many useful use cases you basically need grapheme clusters, which is a lot closer to what humans think of as a character. And once you're at that point it's much less relevant whether the code units are 8 or 16 bits wide.

Respectfully, I think your suggestion is an exaggeration of reality.

There is perhaps a correlation between masks and political leaning, but there is also cross correlation between those things and higher education, age, race, urban residence, and other confounding variables.

Moreover, I think it's a greater signal to refuse to wear a mask. At least where I live, pretty much everyone goes along with the mask guidance despite a large Republican presence. So if you're simply wearing a mask, there's not much ground to assume anything about your political affiliations.

I think it’s very significant. Interplanetary navigation and retro propulsive soft landings are tricky to get right. Several recent lunar missions have failed and historically about half of missions to Mars crapped out. China is rapidly racking up a very solid track record with their lunar and now Mars landings. Also rovers are a significant step up in complexity and capability from static landers.

The Long March 8 architecture looks like it’s suitable for adaptation for first stage recovery, and they have expressed the intention to attempt it, so China are lining up to overtake Russia as the strongest competitor to the US in space technology.

>That is a politically naive, idealistic perspective that does not align with reality.

No this is you misinterpreting the context at hand. The context is "Businesses" so when I refer to regulation I refer exclusively to "Business regulation." You are naive to think that a person with that ludicrous level of naivety and idealism even exists. If anything it is your views that are naive. Texas favors both people and businesses? How convenient. That's idealism through and through.

When regulating people the purpose is often to protect people but like you said regulating people can often serve to form cartels, monopolies or other business interests. This is utterly clear and obvious to everyone and it is not part of the context or topic at hand. Again the topic is "regulating business" or enacting laws that restrict what businesses can do..

Specifically to address your example of "Barrier to entry." A Barrier to entry is a regulation enacted on people outside of the business that promotes this regulation. This type of regulation is regulating people, aka the market not businesses. This is not what I'm referring to. Think about it logically. A barrier to entry is not a regulation on a business because the business likely already passed the barrier to entry so the business is effectively not being regulated. Why would a business be so stupid as to regulate itself? These regulations come from the people who serve the self interest of the people.

Make no mistake when regulating "business" there is little other reason why it is done other than for the purpose of benefiting the people. There are very few other reasons why regulation on business itself exists. Think about it.

The only other time this happens is when corporations are in competition with each other and invoking laws to regulate each other but this rarely happens as competitors are in the same industry, regulating a competitor may mean regulating yourself.

The single example I know of where business regulation was done to serve the long term interest of business was the light bulb filament oligopoly where light bulb makers were regulated and fined to deliberately shorten the length of time light bulb filaments would last in order to increase business within the oligopoly. But again this type of regulation is very rare.

> Profit comes from people do anything they screw people over for is usually obscured in some way.

This is a typo. I didn't notice but somehow a huge portion of what I was suppose to say was deleted.

Let me paste the corrected quotation for more clarity:

Additionally keep in mind businesses cannot directly screw people over. Profit comes from people and companies cannot directly screw over the thing they derive profit from. When businesses screw people over it's usually obscured in some way. Think again to the antics of big oil and big tobacco. If deregulated businesses are harming the people of Texas in some way you likely won't know until many years from now.
Yes this is the worst. Writing a long-lived daemon in Python is a painful excercise in slowly funding all the typo errors in the rarely executed code paths.

The words “extreme” and “massive” are subjective. MMT claims that the best way for a monetarily sovereign government to maintain aggregate spending at full employment levels is to hire anyone willing to work but who cannot find work in either the private sector or the permanent government sector.

Also note that the work of legal historians such as Christine Desan who are not affiliated with MMT economists concurs with this analysis.

Also note that most mainstream economists do actually agree with the tenets of MMT when individually stated but base their disagreement on a deliberate misreading/misstatement of MMT which they then proceed to criticise.

That taxation is sufficient to drive demand for a currency is not contentious, that it is necessary is unconfirmed.

A similar issue: I have seen multiple bootcamp grads get stuck for days on things like a bug caused by the difference between deep/shallow copy because they were never exposed to that basic CS concept. To their credit as soon as I explained what the difference was they seemed to get it immediately (identifying where to fix the bug on their own), but it's like... Only learning just what they needed for the bootcamp left a lot of gaps and a lot of them just seem to have no idea how much is out there.

I would say Earth is harsher but we have plenty experience designing things to last here and crucially we don't have weight limitations
18 days ago, I posted https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26952544, "This battery waste problem has an epistemological status similar to that of dowsing and witchcraft." This article seems to vindicate the viewpoint I expressed in the comments there: electric vehicle waste can only pose a significant pollution problem if capitalism is somehow prevented from profiting from it. (There are problems that capitalism makes worse, but this is the kind of problem that capitalism is good at solving.)

However, the reporters have acquired considerably more knowledge of the issues than I had.

At that point I looked a bit into the hydrometallurgical processes that were available, enough to convince myself that there were no showstopper problems that would make recycling battery waste uneconomical. But I didn't know about the pyrometallurgical processes at all, and I found that aspect of the article very interesting. Nor did I know about the current business situation.
I may have an unorthodox opinion about this, but I believe our primary goal should be to propagate life rather than to search for it. Sooner or later, we will need to expand our horizons as a species. When that time comes, we will benefit greatly from a long period of study regarding the forms of earthly life that can potentially survive elsewhere. To me, finding evidence of past life would be fascinating and groundbreaking, but not particularly actionable.

Exactly. I'd guess that a majority of VS Code users are relatively new to programming. Not to say that there aren't experienced people who have switched, especially among the TextMate/Sublime Text crowd, but the incredible growth in users? I think that's largely a result of new programmers choosing the same editor, not old programmers switching.

What's accomplished by banning camping?
personally, i listen to mostly informational podcasts (darknet diaries, select episodes of freakonomics, selfhosted, etc) - even if there's a story setup to it, it's not really what i'm there for - i'm not a genius or anything but usually don't need an artificial pause and consideration time - if i really need it i'll pause it myself or rewind briefly to listen to something again. I tend to listen to podcasts when i can't be doing anything else (waiting rooms, airplanes, maybe commuting, etc)

However, i'm not a 2x'er - i'll do 1.2-1.5 depending on who's talking - some others (in my weaker languages) i'll do at 0.8x

Personally not a fan of music between sections or artificial reflective moments ("did you get that?! wow...") or trying to make things grandiose. Though i guess i wouldn't like a monotonous drone either.

> Should Australia tax or ban rare earth exports to try to force value add industries here?

You're right that doing so would appear to be a hamfisted approach to creating a homegrown economy that is attractive to industry, and would likely be doomed to failure.

Rather than trying to browbeat the industry into slowing exports, provide the opportunities for using the materials here, within the nation. That is done by providing a less-costly way of turning a profit. Less transportation, etc.

This is done by projects that would consume those resources. Government-led infrastructure investment projects can be successful, such as the Snowy Hydro project which was delivered under-time, under-budget, and over-performing expectations.

We don't need to tax or ban anything. We can invest in creating existing technologies here in Australia... Rather than investing in pipedream technologies that don't yet exist like the carbon sequestration investments that were just announced.
I imagine a butt plug with two hoses, one for oxygenated fluorocarbon input, the other for output, and a cycle where fluid coming out from the butt will needed to be cleaned and re-oxygenated. The input hose could be long enough to reach the cecum (the end of the colon) and perhaps have additional holes to distribute the oxygenated fluid to the whole colon.
