This reads to me very sincere and good, and I hope the collaborations go well. At the end of the day building an AR hardware product is extremely risky, and takes a very long time, and it's definitely exciting - it's a great contribution to computing.

The problem with trucks like the F-150 is all marketing. My impression after seeing a recent F-150 is that the goal is to feel big and luxurious. Even on the ICE version of the truck, the area under the hood is mostly empty.

The reason an entire car hide in front of the bumper, out of the driver's view is that it makes the truck look cooler. The window sills are also at a silly height, to make the truck feel bigger, but at least that doesn't create the same safety issues (for everyone outside the truck) with no real value.
What exactly about sizing text causes issues? Do you mean fluid/responsive sizing?

AFAIK, the best modern way to do it is `font-size: clamp(0.75rem, 1rem + 2vw, 3rem)` (the use of rem as well as vw is to not break zooming for accessibility)
Depends on the size of the house's load and the size of the battery and the efficiency of the inverter.

Ford's promo site says 'up to 10 days with rationing power' asuming 30kWh use per day with extended-range battery. But it's not clear to me if 30kWH is normal use, and rationing would be less, or if that's the rationed use. A 300 kWH battery seems rather large to me, and i haven't seen an actual spec for the Ford.

Edit: reread their site after reading sibling posts, in a different blurb they say 3 days or 10 days with rationing with the same assumption about 30 kWH per day; so their rationing assumption must be getting down closer to 9 kWH per day. Either way, a nice feature to have that would eliminate a portable generator for me.
The mighty weapon is still the pen, it might is just dependent on how you apply it.

Tesla doesn't exist because Elon et al. went into his backyard and made a car, it exists because Elon et al. convinced a bunch of other people to cooperate on making a car.

Same with Jeff Bezos et al., and Amazon. Steve Jobs et al. and Apple. Bill Gates et al. and Microsoft.

Just posting on social media doesn't make your pen mighty, reaching out to people and convincing them to work on something does. On the other hand, social media is not a terrible place to "test" ideas to try and get an idea whether or not you'll be able to rally people to the task at hand.

I tend to open multiple windows instead. Though, to be fair, I usually do that on a per project basis. I try to close tabs once I realize I'm not going to be using them in the near future.

Basically the exact opposite of my browser habits, where I easily have 100 tabs open at any time, lol.

This feels like a losing strategy as other employers will be posting tighter ranges which will get more applications. Especially if the lower bounds is too low. Hopefully this sorts itself out.

Where is the "dominant market power" coming from?

Asymmetry of information is what got you to the top. You know more than your competition, more on a productive process, on consumer behavior, on business partners, on leveraging financial avenues, on political "contributions", on questionable use of insider information, etc.

And Information is what keeps you at the top: knowing who to "lobby" to create convenient regulation that hurts your competition the most, is the most effective way monopolies use to stay that way.

Monopolies are not monopolies in the abstract, they have to fight everyday to keep being a monopoly and they do that by leveraging information asymmetry.
What's your data backing this hypothesis, by the way?
Haha, thanks. I remember coming up with the userfox name pretty much solely because I really like foxes and we had an awesome logo :)

It’s worth noting Journeys can be much more than just videos - interactive slides and charts for example.

You make a good point about people being too laissez-faire but what we know is:
a) people already do a ton of research before being compelled to talk to a human - Journey allows companies to slide into that research process without being annoying

b) we fundamentally believe you’ll get more sales if you empower people to think for themselves rather than forcing them on to a call. Lead submission forms convert at approx 1.5% —- there must be more users out there that are intrigued but not yet willing to talk to a sales person (and btw we don’t cannibalise those that want calls, if anything we make it easier to coordinate since we embed meeting booking right there)

… and yeah our UI is a bit Turbotax right now and that isn’t the desired first impression, we want people to think we are Nethack (well actually a more accessible and beautiful video game) or something equally fun and interactive.

One of the fun but hard things about building this product is we have to dogfood aggressively - but then we are only as good as our product, not our sales slides. Which is how it should be! But it makes you have to be very intellectually honest about where you’re at today…

Lots to do…
The only gotcha with this, is that F150s are huge. I have an oversized garage and an F150 will barely fit. Many of my full-size truck driving neighbors opt to park in the driveway because they turn a modern two car garage into a 1.5 car garage unless designed specifically for giant vehicles.

I haven't seen consumer chargers that are designed to be installed outside. Most people have wall chargers in their garages, but I don't thing this is going to work for the majority of F150 home owners.

That being said, this is an otherwise incredible vehicle. The F150 is pretty much the ultimate vehicle for someone with enough space for one, and this improves upon it in nearly every way.
The location of the battery also means lower center of gravity and probably better control over the vehicle, and the curb weight is about the same. These will probably be net safer than ICE F-150s
Why does the webpage animation move on scroll? Why is it not just a video?

Most trendy product websites do this now (including Apple), but I can't figure out why? As a user, it feels extremely laggy since I don't scroll perfectly smoothly. I feel like they would have a better grip on the smoothness of the rendering if it was a simple video? I also don't like it because it feels like I have to scroll "hard" for the page to scroll down.

What's the benefit of this? I genuinely would like to know.
Ah right, of course, that makes sense.
Ford claims three days based on 30 kwh per day usage.
That’s why they should only have one lane for cars with a 25mph speed limit.
One of the things I've seen in the Powerboost (their hybrid model) reviews is that even when people disable traction control to launch it, there is something happening that keeps it from spinning out. I think the electric engine might have a mandatory control mechanism in it that cannot be bypassed.

Certainly looks nice, but all of these different version managers are just not necessary. When you have something like asdf written in what feels like 1 line of bash (obvious exaggeration) everything else feels redundant. I've been able to remove gvm (golang), tfenv (terraform), and several others that I can't think of right now.
I may be in the minority but I really don't care for listening to things sped up. If it's really just about maximizing data transfer, I'd probably rather read a good transcript at that point.
I've owned and driven a handful of trucks. Ranger sized trucks feel the least useful. Can't tow much. Can't haul much. Can't get into muck. Can't hold many people. Aerodynamics of a brick. An electric F150 is compelling. We just upgraded to a new one because we need the tow capacity and the F150 beat out the F250s we were looking at. It's a great size and checks all the boxes.
If I recall correctly, use of your Tesla for this purpose will void your warranty. It was clearly a more fringe case and needed possible modifications.

That makes sense. I’m trying to make sense of this statement (which seems to indicate it’s happening automatically when no one is home):

>” If a weather event knocks out power, or if a car happens to hit a nearby electrical pole, the F-150 will seamlessly transfer its stored energy back into the home and automatically notify the owner via a push notification sent to their phone.”
Yeahhhh, that’s a fair point, they sell every one they can make of those EcoBoosts.

The people answering your survey probably weren't aware they could power an entire jobsite with just a truck. Killer features such as this will be how electric vehicles penetrate the holdouts.
I'd use "vehicle" to be more general than "car". If I just bought one, I'd know whether I bought car, truck, SUV(ehicle), etc. Although, in some cases, you might say "car" generically if the distinction doesn't matter. Also, "vehicle" sounds a bit more formal, so if I were giving, say, a deposition, I might say that. I can't say that I think people around here overuse the term.

A van is better in almost every dimension for construction. Effectively the only reason to own a pickup truck (vs some other better utility vehicle) is if you have trailer that needs it.

The guilt by association here is now approaching Biblical scales. Like the guy in the comments who wants to close down the entire Computer Science and Electrical Engineering departments at UMN, which probably employ/educate the best part of a thousand people. Ha!

In general, the fury and seethe which this experiment inspired is amazing. IMO the real disgrace is not the experiment itself, but the response. The kernel developers need to stop being martyrs and playing blame games. They need to be rational and take responsibility for improving their own procedures. Because, if they didn't already have them, governments now have entire departments studying how to use deliberate vulnerabilities in open source projects, for military intelligence and other purposes. And they will not be deterred by the continued public flogging of the University of Minnesota.
Nobody sets out to overdose. I would agree that most people started taking heroin from a low point, but overdose is not an inevitable consequence nor is it necessarily a short-term outcome. Someone could have started using opioids a decade ago and finally had the numbers (and dangers of recent mixes that added fentanyl) catch up with them.

Sounds like a crazy conspiracy theory, next they will be saying the president is an Manchurian candidate/agent of Russia and launch a similar fruitless investigation.

If you come out of the sports team, we are the good guys mentality it's obvious this is tit for tat depending on who is currently in office. Many MSNBC viewers think the 2016 election was illegitimate just like Fox News viewers feel about 2020.
> ...our Software Developer 1 pays $70-90k, Software Developer 2 pays $90-11k, etc. However- we haven't decided which level of software developer we're going to hire you for.

I have seen some companies do this in a sense. They will post their salary "grades" A1, A2, A3, B1, etc. But there isn't really any correlation to say a Software Developer 1 will be a grade A3 or B1 or whatever.

Proxima Centauri B: Artificial Illumination as a Technosignature
Nice anecdote. Here, I'll add mine:

My wife at the time bought an SUV, a Toyota Highlander. She never went off road, we didn't have any children, she never hauled anything. 90% of her driving was to and from work on paved roads, a job that could have been accomplished with a Honda Civic.

Now let's play another fun game: how many truck and SUV owners do you think are like you, and how many do you think are like my ex-wife?
Death rate to confirmed cases is TX 1.7% (51k deaths over 2.9m cases), Florida 1.56% (36k deaths over 2296 cases), CA 1.64% (62k deaths over 3.74m cases) [source: google coronovirus stats]. So data does not confirm your conclusion.
They can. The companies not wanting to do it just don’t want to give more information to the sellers (labor), especially their current labor who might be being paid less while the buyer (employer) profits from the arbitrage.

Tbh I didn't read the article. There are operations running in Germany with recycling pods crushing batteries (powered by remain charge on other to be recycled batteries) and separating material. It was on YouTube one or two years ago. I don't know how things are evolving but it's pretty smooth already (even if scaling issue occur, its already running).

It's similar with the survey. In a mortgage survey, they basically verify that a house of the specified construction and square footage is on the property where it is supposed to be. Nothing you really couldn't see by just driving by.

When I have bought a house, in order to get a proper survey with the property boundaries marked by stakes I had to pay for that myself.
That's so sad this sarcasm basically became fact after so many decades of going the wrong way.

It's also why cities are taking back whole roads from cars when they can, as it's so hard to preserve a middle ground in a lot of areas.

VC here. The comments made about VCs being stewards of other peoples money, and therefore having a different risk tolerance are completely true. There needs to be some solid POC or a well known and trusted team or it is a no-go. But it is not about VCs being dumb finance guys -- some of us are very technical, myself I was a repeat founder and have an advanced technical degree. We invest more money in each deal than angels might in their entire lifetime, and actively help run and scale a company. I certainly have a lot of respect for non-shotgun angel investors, but one is a hobby, and one is a career!

> The "left" and the "right" can't find any common ground.

And would-be centrists presenting it as if this is equally the fault of both sides is a significant contributor to the problem.

The "right" has collectively decided that reality doesn't matter if it makes them look bad or disagrees with their increasingly-extreme dogma, that other people's lives are less important than rich people's money, and that democracy is bad if it means they have a harder time getting power. Oh, and that Nazis are good, actually.

There are certainly elements of the "left" that are unhelpfully unwilling to compromise, but they're not even in the same zip code as the problems with today's American right wing, and painting them with the same brush makes it much harder to approach genuine solutions to these problems.

As an outsider who hasn't used IRC or Freenode in over a decade, this situation is impenetrable. Neither the posts by the Freenode volunteers nor this post by Andrew paint a coherent narrative I can follow (maybe I'm just old).

> According to slides Google shared with Motherboard—from a presentation given after the publication of that paper—its deep learning system was 87.9 percent accurate at identifying skin conditions for Black patients, the highest of any ethnicity.

It's interesting that instead of highlighting how the system is biased [1] against non-Black people, the article ignores that in favor of the bias against a different sub-category of dark skin, that is then conflated with Black [2]. At one point Google tried to improve its data set on Black people, but that didn't satisfy Vice or other journalists either [3].

[1] Using 'biased' instead of 'less accurate' is consistent with other articles, such as those on facial recognition.

[2] Tweet embedded in the article: The algorithm was developed based on training data with less than 4% dark skin types. It should come with a warning BEWARE OF RESULTS IF BLACK!!!

> A map or pretty much any nontrivial data structure is not a flat region.

Not necessarily. A hashmap can be implemented in a way it stores both the keys and values in a flat memory region, as long as keys and values are fixed size, and such a structure is way more efficient that traditional array-of-pointers implementation, where fetching each key requires following a pointer and getting the value requires following another pointer.

99% of truck-driving Americans will starve to death in the first month of a societal collapse, and there's nothing their truck can do about it. If you need a truck with a 120 kW-h battery pack it's either going to take a week to charge it from the excess capacity of a domestic solar array, or you need to quadruple the size of said solar array. Either way, between the truck and the solar panels you'd probably have been better off spending that money on land and seeds.

Never use viewport-relative units (like vw) for text sizing, it is not a best practice for accessibility (part of the reason it's not in the examples here).

Modern browsers handle zoom just fine, regardless of units. We use rem in case a user has set their own preferred base text size (the same reason we don't use viewport-relative units).
How many 1000s of people have permanently lost sensitive data because they lost their FDE keys? How many companies had user data compromised because they didn't implement encryption best practices properly? Certainly more than a dozen or whatever.

It's a useless comparison because encryption has been around for decades more than cryptocurrencies. The point is about the format of the argument. It doesn't make sense to say it's OK to ban a technology just because many people don't use it properly.
