I grew up in a place where I can't even think of a family that didn't have at least one truck. I'm honestly confused by the dislike of them. I really don't understand how you can own a house with a decent sized yard and not own a truck or at least a trailer. How do you get any yard or house work done without one?
That's still the best name.

I had the same experience when I bought mine.

My self concept changed. Suddenly I was someone who could move anything anywhere. I felt like an animal that had crossed over into a new phylum.

Now I’m someone important to all my friends, and I have new friends. I’m in the club, wherever I go.

Nobody tailgates me. Life is good.
What they should have done is a $300 culture pass for the entire society to celebrate opening back up. If anybody should be open to such an idea it should be France.
Plus, from the article, I got the impression that the government will dictate what it can be spent on. I’m skeptical that for instance, Muslim art by French artists will be seen as French by whatever committee decides what is French. But I haven’t lived in France in 30 years. I lived in the very north almost Belgium and, though I was a child, attitudes at the time were definitely not inclusive. I hope to be pleasantly surprised.
It's pretty funny that your one-two punch here consists of accusing the Freenode operator community of defaming you, and then following up with a post that does little more than accuse them of assisting stalkers and abusers.
To clarify your point, with which I agree - without a good work environment which promotes excellence and the development of the country through industry and technology, there will be no one to support the art in a few years. Having a passion for art and culture is not enough if you don't have the means to promote, consume and sponsor it yourself.
So you capped your connection from a theoretical 75/15 to 20/8? I guess it makes sense if you value latency above all else, but for situations where throughput matters (eg. streaming or downloading game patches), it's unacceptable. Dynamically setting your speed cap would get rid of this problem, but would be huge timesink to get it just right.
My lexus has a 360 camera that turns on when the car is moving at low speeds (e.g. when stopped at a crosswalk). I assume new ford trucks at even a few trim levels up will have this feature. You can prevent these kind of fuck-ups with cameras easily.

Depending on how you drive and what options you get (engine is the big one), the F150 may well get the same fuel mileage if you are barely getting 20mpg.

Though the real answer is a truck for times when you need a truck, and bus/bike for everything else. Too bad transit in the US is in general horrible.
Autopilot is commonly lumped together with electric cars, but they’re really two completely unrelated things.

It just so happens that one of the most popular autopilot implementations is on Tesla, but it could have just as well been implemented on an ICE car.
Tesla does not really have "Model Years". The vehicle is constantly changing week to week, and priced so. You just need to buy when you want and be happy with the product. Just like an Iphone!

Also, other car manufactures actually change their prices all the time based on cost of materials, shipping, etc. The Dealer will change the price based on inventory space, cost to hold, etc. You just don't see it as much because it is hidden behind Dealership "Deals" and "Promotions" that come and go.

Traditionally, it has always been the best to buy a vehicle at the end of the year, when the dealers are trying to make room for the next "model year".
Cars aren't consumer electronics. Ordinary people don't just throw them away—they are usually traded-in to dealers—and most companies don't have big fleets that get replaced every few years, like companies replace their computer systems and other devices.

Car parts are overall more expensive, and installation, replacement and even disposal happens through specialized entities, typically. Most maintenance work is done by manufacturers or dealers themselves.

In other words, it's not inevitable that car battery systems would necessarily be sent overseas the same way that consumer electronics are when they reach end of life. With lower volume and more centralization, regulation will be easier to implement and enforce. And the economics may also make it cheaper for initial recycling to be situated in the originating country as well, given that the parts are more valuable and given the economies of scale that emerge from centralized reclamation networks.

Already in the US there is a healthy industry of third-party businesses that will replace hybrid car batteries and reclaim the old systems for refurbishment. Most of the reclaimed systems are refurbished and re-used.

There's no reason to think that with proper regulation and standardization an efficient & environmentally-safe reclamation market cannot emerge in first-world countries, preventing car battery waste from spilling over to third-world countries.

I have rented trucks and cars plenty.. it would be quite a bit of a hassle for a lot of these jobs though. The traveling back and forth to pick up the rental and then take it back would add significant time and require someone else to take me back and forth. $20/day would rent a truck like an F-150 plus extra costs for mileage. (not a big deal at all.)

It's not necessarily worth it with my Outback, which is itself a large car that city folks would sneer at.

But until this F-150 EV was introduced I was pretty much fully convinced I was buying a Tesla when my Outback needed to be replaced.

Spending $40-50k on a Model Y vs one of these F-150s is a whole different scenario, that's all.

Gas F-150 I'd feel like a jerk on my commute, EV F-150 I would not, I'd feel better than doing the same in my Subaru, and in many ways it would fit my use case better.

My Outback was < $30k and it's 8 years old. Putting dirty stuff in the back of it is not the same as putting dirty stuff in a brand new Tesla.

Awesome write up! That was a very fun and educating read. Never thought about running ads on a porn site before.

You said you can't be sure if your download numbers were correlated to the ads, but did you notice a drop off in new downloads after you finished the campaigns (or too early to tell)?

And does your ad run on all mindgeek websites or do you pick which ones/categories they appear on? Perhaps if they give more granular tools and you know your audience you can target towards your demo a little better idk?
The only thing that's clear to me, after this, is that the whole governance structure was never properly defined and codified. It all seems to have been based on gentlemens agreements.
Define "contemplate" :)

Carved out time to "sit and think"? I consider this a suspect method, because undirected thinking on demand is difficult. (It might work for you. It doesn't for me)

Carved out time to contemplate a specific problem? Depends on how many big problems are at the stage where that makes sense. I'd say 1-4h/week.

Making random connections and sort-of daydreaming about them for 5 minutes? All day, every day. It ends up in a commonplace book. I don't currently review the book, the act of taking the note alone is valuable enough. If I notice I keep thinking about something, I transfer it into a doc and grep through that during directed sessions.

It's a matter of demand and offer. If people were not going to zoos and aquariums there would be no incentive to operate for those type of businesses.
It actually makes sense because during the covid crisis, there's been huge issues with student poverty (post high school). So giving out 300€ for 18 years old to buy video games when 1 year older students struggle hard to make ends meet is not taken well by some.

A 1 time 300 bucks given to all the students with a scholarship would be way more appreciated than 300 bucks given to all the 18 years old without distinction.
At first blush, I like it a lot, and am eager to give it a try. I'm busy, and, no matter how much more efficient videos would be in an ideal world, I just don't have a lot of time to sit down and watch them. I also like to get away from the screen and go see what the outside world looks like every so often, y'know?

With a podcast, though, I can listen while I do dishes or whatever, and hopefully that will at least give me enough background information that I can understand the written parts more quickly.
Many new trucks have used turbo V6s instead of V8s for awhile now. There’s definitely some buyers who just want the sound of a V8 or don’t quite trust the reliability of a twin turbo BUT I think more people would be open to electric than you would think, even in people primarily just using them for transportation
I downvoted your comment until I read it more charitably, as "the most pressing need for young people is meaningful employment, and the government would be better off focusing on that". It kinda reads like you think culture itself is a waste of time and people should just get to work.

This is false [1]. The PDF clarifies a great many of the unanswered questions and verified that despite former staff attempt to say I was lying, all I did was spoke the truth and helped when asked.

Please review the PDF.

Lastly, I also run servers on freenode and have for years preceding the acquisition.

The PDF puts to rest all the falsehoods and uncertainties in my opinion but please let me know if there is something I missed!

Many Tacoma owners in Seattle (fun fact, Tacoma is the native name for Mt. Rainier). I'm one of them. I've owned it for 7 years, 3 in Seattle, and I've never once been asked by someone to borrow it. Guess I must be a loner. You can rent a cargo van from UHaul without much trouble.

Also, I have to laugh at all these anecdotes about owning a pickup as a personality trait. I wasn't inducted into some pickups dudes club when I got mine. People haven't treated me any differently - still a nerdy, introverted guy who does a lot of outdoors sports. I drive to the grocery store or trailhead or city park in my truck, do my thing, and go home.
Yeah, it's definitely an annoying trend. Some of the really weak dev/general 'what do you think' drivel split up into fifteen tweets is terrible too.

23 years is a solid dataset. Thanks
A bit tangential:

Back in the early 90s — on a recommendation from a realtor who was a close friend of my brother's — I hired an inspector who was close to retirement. He worked with his wife who served as his assistant tasked with, in essence, taking dictation of her husband's near constant commentary as he conducted an incredibly thorough inspection. Every outlet tested for proper ground, every nook and cranny looked at, wood moisture content, HVAC pitot readings, masonry, roof … just a super-duper detailed inspection that took about 6 hours to complete.

At the end of the inspection, he summed up by saying the house was good and that he had no qualms recommending the house.

Two days later, he stopped by with a three-ring binder that contained his inspection report. It first contained a summary that concisely covered the positive and few negative aspects of the house. Then there was a section about the history of the house: the year built, the name of the builder, changes in the neighborhood since it had been built, earthquakes it had gone through, flood events in the area, and so on. It also included the manufacturer names of things such as the windows, door hardware, etc.

The third section was lengthy, covering the precise state of the electrical, plumbing, structural, envelope, etc, and included all the notes his wife had taken during the course of the inspection. It included a sub-section with warnings about certain materials that likely contained asbestos and would need to be dealt with if we ever did remodeling.

Finally, the largest section was what he called a "maintenance work order" arranged as a schedule for the ongoing, recurring upkeep of the house but beginning with things he thought needed to be done immediately, replacement of the circuit breaker box, splash blocks under each outdoor faucet, tuck-pointing some of the chimney's brickwork, etc. And then his estimates as to when he thought systems might need to be replaced, the water heater, furnace, roofing, etc. As I discovered when the water heater burst, his estimates were pretty much spot-on. Over time, I added notes as we upgraded things, added low-voltage wiring, and remodeled the basement.

Nine years later, when I sold the house, the buyer was elated to have this owner's manual and I am fairly certain that the book was key to a very fast sale of the house which we did without a realtor.

As I look back on it now, I realize that inspection was perhaps the best $350 I have ever spent.

When we bought our next house, the inspection took about an hour and produced a few page report, most of it boilerplate.

Unfortunately, it's somewhat unfair to always blame the non-engineering folks. Many times is other engineering domains that run counter to good security. In my experience, cost or schedule are the leading factors but sometimes engineers want to push for certain features that are not compatible with good safety or security practices.
I love how they're still measured in acres but as a fraction. I have 2.5ac and our truck is usually filthy. :)
I have a rather silly question - when designing UI features, how do UI designers test whether a design works as expected/is objectively good, and not just "Oh, this looks good to my eyes, others would probably feel the same way too!"? Off the top of my head, I can think of two ways - (i) have a private test audience, show various iterations to them, get feedback, and choose those features with highest scores given by the audience; (ii) get feedback from the end users, and make modifications as necessary. However, I'm guessing (i) is an expensive and time-consuming route, whereas (ii) could potentially lead to poor user experience and be detrimental for user retention. Is there a better way? In short, what's the "unit testing" equivalent in UI design?

Presumably they would do so after consultation with kernel developers, like uhh... themselves.
I'll try to reword it in the hope of being clearer.

The observation is that disruptive innovation is inevitable.

The role of VCs is to protect against this risk.

You can't protect money by letting it in the bank, investing and hedging is the only viable option.
Proof of work determines who can mint a block its not the nakamoto consensus algorithm bitcoin uses its just part of it.

Proof of stake determines who can mint a block same as proof of work, the consensus algorithm is then one of many different algorithms people use for consensus.

Talking about proof of stake/work as if its the sole consensus is like when people call the case of their computer the hard drive part. I mean it does have a hard drive sure but your not really getting it.

Why would this program prohibit these 18 year olds from excelling in the areas of industry and technology?
The US does something similar: Those children enrolled in the fourth or fifth grade of any school can get free passes to National Parks: https://www.nps.gov/kids/fifthgrade.htm

Though it is basically "kids get in free" since other family members have to pay and you don't expect too many 10-11 year olds to travel to parks themselves.

Saying "I am not a supporter of gay marriage" in passing is very different than writing a book publicizing an opinion that gay people are somehow inferior to straights.

A more applicable comparision would be someone who publicized that they thought that gays were weak minded. I wouldn't say you should 'cancel' that person (what does that mean?), but I would say that person should be disqualified from the opportunity to lead a team that includes gay people. And any business should always assume that their team could include gay people.

Agree. Bigger vehicles going EV quells a huge portion of my resistance from owning one. The safety tests of these for pedestrians being better would further the point for me. It’ll be interesting to see those tests.
OK, I think I see what's happening. There's some other software that overrode the *.dev cert. I'll remove that and see if it works. Thanks for your help!

You can't do that. You can rent a truck no problem, but a truck that you can actually use as a truck cannot be rented. They carefully check to ensure you didn't scratch any paint, and that means no hauling.

There are work a rounds, but they are limited (home depot will rent a truck but the fine print is only to go from home depot to your house, no other trips). If you have a CDL you can rent a commercial truck that lets you work it. However for general purpose I need a truck to be a truck the average person can't rent.

I see this particular mistake crop up a lot, and it's a bit pedantic, but I don't get the impression that it's being intentionally ignored for educational reasons: The author repeatedly describes "the" recipe, "the" set of frequencies, .... The standard Fourier transform is only unique conditioned on the fact that we've agreed on a particular set of basis functions ahead of time. It isn't even the only choice of orthogonal exponentials we could have picked.

In terms of real applications that point often doesn't matter much -- especially in fields like lossy compression where you might not actually care much about any underlying meaning in the representation, and especially in fields like radio where your data is in some sense fundamentally represented as combinations of sinusoids -- but in general it isn't a sound leap to go from "this Fourier coefficient is big" to "there exists a big sinusoid that semantically matters to my data."
It's genuinely surprising to me that a researcher at MIT lacks the awareness to attempt at least the pretence of impartiality in a paper about bias.
Yeah, that's roughly how my conversation went, too. It's too bad, because if the role had had competitive comp (and, I strongly suspect they wouldn't have been competitive, based on what little info I was able to drag out of the recruiter), I would have totally gone through with the interview process. Oh well.

The only way I know of to break through that kind of BS gamesmanship is to do a lot of research and determine what the market salary distribution is for comparable roles. Sites like comp.fyi and payscale.com have been helpful for me here.

BTW, if you just want to get offer numbers on comp.fyi, use 0 years at company. If you need more data, you can try including 1 or 2 years at company, but, if you start including too much, you're going to lose the original offer numbers in the noise.
The Ratings Game, Part 4: E3 and Beyond
That's quite funny as just today the newest magazine from the local version of Consumer Reports came out and Tesla was rated pretty bad and this in total score (dealer rating is way worse). Tesla is rated on par with brands like Kia and Suzuki:

https://ibb.co/TgKvP2g

But of course Ford is even worse here but not in the dealership rating (which I of course can't find atm. as it were in last months issue)..
They lied in their abstract: https://twitter.com/SarahJamieLewis/status/13848760502079406...

They lied to their IRB.

What evidence do you have that they're telling the truth now?
I'm happy to see this. It's the most popular vehicle, so it will reach a large audience. Also, at least in my imagination, work trucks are a perfect use because they are used locally and parked on the job site. So the range and need for a charging station might not be impediments.

My pet peeve is that vehicles are getting bigger in general, and I don't need a big vehicle. An F150 won't fit in my garage.

An amusing anecdote, my friend got a brand new pickup, and was being really fussy about keeping it clean. I asked him: How do you keep the bed from getting dirty and scratched up? He said: Don't put anything in there. When he drove back to the family ranch, his mom noticed that he was being too prissy with his truck. So she waited until he was sleeping in on a Saturday morning, and borrowed his truck to haul manure. Lesson learned. ;-)
