That's just not true.

There are people who absolutely want other people to burn dirty coal because aligning themselves with the coal industry affects their bottom line in a positive way.

The Republican Party of Texas is highly anti-regulation when it comes to energy sources. Much of the party constituents' money is tied up in oil and gas. They were completely fine with people losing property and time if it could be used as a political wedge issue to get more donations.

I lost all the food in my house because I was without power for a week in the recent ice storms. Several of my pipes were damaged despite my best efforts to mitigate the issue. My work week was completely disrupted, and I was forced to scramble to keep my family and family pets warm.

I wasn't remotely alone. There is still no effort by the state to winterize the state's energy grid. Turns out that once your home costs past a certain point out here, you're probably running gas and they start to include generators too.
It will take some change in behavior, but it’s worked out ok for me. I charge over night (and frequently using solar in the day when at home). That leaves me with 400km of range everyday.

For those infrequent long trips I stop every 3 hours/350km and charge for 30 mins. Watch some Netflix, use laptop, or have a short nap and move on. Works out ok.
I'm surprised that negative numbers are needed here. But I don't know C++ and my knowledge about latches in Java is spotty at best. Don't know anything about barriers.
All social constructs are made up. Fiat cash doesn't have any value, gold doesn't have any value, bitcoin doesn't have any value, UNLESS the socially agreed upon norm for any of them is that it does. It's the same for any social construct - there are no countries, or borders, or monarchs or rulers, it's all just made up and agreed upon.

Blame for killing falls on the driver of the vehicle, not on the company designing it or the shape of the front of the vehicle.

Don't hit anyone with your vehicle and you won't kill anyone. I've been hit by a truck bicycling, thankfully not too hard. But I don't really think it would have been better to have been hit by a low slung sleek car. It would have put all the force through my legs.
Hang out at a bus station or a school during kid pickup time, you'll feel like you're in a coal refinery. I can't imagine that's good for your lungs.
Gaming EPA fuel efficiency regulations. Making them taller/wider essentially saves the manufacturers money because those regulations aren’t very well designed.
You have a point, but I also think we should be thinking beyond smartphones and try to act on what they are used for.

Not in a "guns don't kill people way", but because I think smarphone helped spread society's worse effects on girls, but they were already in a very shitty position, and we can't just get back to the status quo before the smarphones and social networks.

We can of course also work on reducing sns negative impacts, but I think it will also be a bad, long and thorny way before seeing improvements.
I hate SMB, but the real problem, from my perspective, is that SMB is the only option if you want everything to be able to talk to your share. With NFS or SSHFS or anything else, you're cutting out a bunch client devices & software. Like FAT32 in the early days of USB drives, you use it because everything speaks it, not because it's the best thing around.

FWIW the sanest way I've found to configure SMB shares on any OS is Docker on Linux. Concise for common use-cases, rock solid, config won't change out from under you for unclear reasons. I think an underrated benefit of Docker is that it strongly encourages cutting the bullshit out of configuration and getting straight to the point, for what most people want to do with the image. The config lines are gibberish, but at least they're very short gibberish. IIRC one option line per user, one option line per share (maybe one other per share to map the real directory to the container? Can't recall for sure), everything for each of them smushed together on that one line.

No "what kind of user is meant here, again, since there are two kinds?" garbage, no "all three of these options look relevant, but which one is actually being applied in this particular case?" or "which section does this option go in?" that I recall from the hell of trying to configure Samba to do very normal, boring things over the years. 90% of the time all I want is "anonymous read, this username and password for writes, share directories x, y, and z" which is so normal a thing to want to do with it that the config shouldn't occupy much more space than it took to write that out—and, indeed, using the Docker image, it doesn't, and you don't have to deal with outside-the-config user state because the image takes care of that for you, so the config is an easily portable, tiny text file that depends on nothing else but the existence of the directories you're telling it to mount & share, unlike a normal samba config file.
Here are some stats on fossil fuel deaths in general

https://youtu.be/Jzfpyo-q-RM?t=355

On average in the US, the CO2 output required to power an electric vehicle is 1/3 of an ICE vehicle. So theoretically this would translate to less deaths as bb123 suggests, but hard to compare to direct pedestrian deaths. (Yes there are some logical gaps as ICE C02 output is a very low percentage of total fossil fuel output).
It includes additional content, though I didn’t review more closely than that.
College classes are often split into lectures and precepts/discussions/office hours. I think the thing holding back your idea is the expectation of being taught in-person by a professor. For large classes, that’s only really possible in a lecture format.

My personal favorite method of learning was a TA that went through the material, meticulously calling on each person in order. You could skip, but it was still obvious if you were playing a game or browsing Reddit. Eventually you learned that you really didn’t have all the answers and that paying attention was probably a good idea. It also got people comfortable giving a wrong answer and that really helped everyone with the learning process.
>f150 is more for normal people who actually just want a normal truck that’s electric

Why? Does the look of the truck make it more practical? The Cybertruck does not have any paint, and can sustain far more scratch/shock that the F150.
It sounds like rasengan/Andrew Lee wanted a specific DNS change made which was objectionable to the staff, and that triggered the whole mess. I hadn’t seen it mentioned before but one of the chats from Thomas includes something about backing off from a DNS change.
Roads predate cars. Cars took them over from people and far slower horses.
The last thing I want is a cheap lithium ion battery sitting in my 150 degree car for months at a time.
Yes! If we can some how access the debug interface like JTAG or UART, then it is possible to add backdoors to the firmware. Even if the debug interface is protected, there are methods like side channel attacks or fault injection attacks that can set a certain bit to enable the debug interface. If a hacker could access the car's Over-the-air software updates server, then its pretty much over for the car company.
I think it's a clever point, but it falls flat for me on closer inspection because:

#1: The whole point of preserving the environment is to keep it inhabitable for humans. Fueling humans is non-negotiable up to at least a baseline level of survival, and still desirable beyond that level because we like being well fed.

and

#2: Due to that whole "we like being well fed" thing, most humans in the first world -- the part of the world where people worry about things like whether biking to work is good or bad for the environment -- are already overfueled. We have a surplus of human fuel that we're consuming anyway because it feels good. Might as well burn some of it off on transportation.
Hi this is Andrew from the post and freenode.

Long story short, former staff were upset about a logo but the logos were there since the start. I wanted to share that.

Secondly, staff claim there was a hostile takeover. I have owned freenode for years and was a great custodian as far as I can tell (only compliments from former staff some of which even flew into defcon and came to my house on my dime, internationally) - I intervened when a hostile takeover from the inside began taking place - my dns was cut and the internal structure was changing to a non democratic one. All of this is detailed in the post and screenshots for proof since there’s been a lot of falsehoods spread.

I had to step in and did just in time.

My belief is that Tesla is aiming the for the military and police market who like to have proto-military hardware to jerk off to. So, yeah, seems like they'll have this option.

Or maybe only the military version will have it.

I guess the military/police version will cost multiples of the civilian version too, if I were Musk I'd know I'd want to suck on that "virtually unlimited government budget" tit.
If you know anyone that works in or around the operating room (surgeons, techs, nurses, etc), ask them to bring some of the blue OR towels with you. So many of those just get thrown away cause you can't use them once opened (supposed to be sterile).
For sure these responses, which are predictable and common on pretty much any thread related to American trucks here or on sites like Jalopnik, don't reflect actual, real general sentiments about trucks or SUVs. It happens all the time and I've learned just to ignore them.
> an enormous, deliberately threatening-looking chariot that makes you feel big and virile

Most people with a truck are just trying to get their job done. They aren’t trying to look or feel anything.
I'm not exactly sure where this analogy goes, but I do kinda like the idea that the Nurburgring is a walled garden for those who want to go off and get in expensive violent crashes without harming anybody else.

I'm very happy that the Nurburgring exists, and would be even happier if we could find similar ways to wall off those who like taking certain kinds of risks that have the potential to explode all over other people. Indeed, they should go do what they want... somewhere else.
But otoh, you have a gas station at your house.
F150s are amazing vehicles. It seats six with an extended cab, haul tons & tons of crap in the bed, gets roughly the same fuel economy as a minivan, it can tow pretty much anything and It will also hold its value insanely well.

Compared with, say, a Honda Odyssey, the F150 is a better family vehicle in many cases. The only reason I can think of to go with the Odyssey (which is another vehicle I love) is vehicle footprint and long-term reliability.

There's a reason the F150 sells so many units in the USA: it's the ultimate vehicle, and it comes with almost no drawbacks.
I agree with your issues 1 and 2. Batteries do not yet match the energy density of petrol. There are plenty of cases where the shorter range isn't a problem, but buyers need to know have a clear understanding up front.

I don't think issues 3 and 4 really need to have much to do with electric vehicles. Autopilot and electric are orthogonal properties. The only connection is that they're both pioneered by Tesla. Otherwise there's no particular reason you should expect one with the other. The same goes for over the air software updates.

It would shrink, definitely, but as the other two it wont disappear as it's actually required, both as protection against inflation or also as a fast and no-middlemen way to send money.

And for specifically for bitcoin[1] the "goal in itself" is the anti-inflationary part. Nobody wants to lose what they have because somebody else thought that creating new money is a good idea. Putting your cash into other assets such as real estate achieves the same goal, bitcoin is just more convenient.

[1] I say "specifically for bitcoin" as what a value of any cryptocurrency is depends on how it's actually coded up (how/when it's created, burnt etc). Not all cryptocurrencies are good for "stores of value".
I got a good deal on something very well equipped with low mileage, and trucks tend to hold their value exceptionally well. It’s also just more convenient this way.

>It’s like the aesthetics of a pickup truck is offensive to some people.

I got a rental car recently and they gave me a bright red pickup because it was the fastest option. I was surprised by the good vibes I got from all the other pickup drivers, lol. It's like I got inducted into a secret club for a day with a lot of waves and thumbs up. A woman went up to my group in a parking lot and said something like "Hell yeah, you guys look like you're having fun."

And I thought, yeah -- I fucking love this. Kinda subverted my perspective on the aesthetics of these trucks and the people who drive them. Led to some self-awareness about how silly the city stereotypes are of such people.

You’re thinking of the monetary incentive only, which might be too narrow a view.

The “regulatory capture” principle might apply here – an auditor only meets any one client once in their life, but probably meets some landlords many times, presumably develops a relationship with them, and might want to tend to not upset that relationship.
These letters were sent both ways. That’s why I was unable to speak until now.
It’s not simply asymmetry of information though. Monopolies often have an incredible amount of financial power that they deploy against people trying to enter their market. Or maybe a company is on top because of their execution. I really don’t think the entire phenomenon can be explained by information asymmetry.
This is what this transition should be all about. It's not just a more environmentally responsible truck, it's better truck in nearly every way. Contractors are going to love the secure storage and built-in power for use on the job site or a farm. It has more torque and will be better at towing. They could have charged a lot more for these but instead it will be cheaper than the existing fossil fuel versions if you consider the tax rebates.

Ford knows their market and are going to absolutely destroy the competition with this.

They contribute patches to it. They contribute patches to a lot of open source projects. There is a big difference between contributing a patch, and "officially supporting" a project.

>Looking at some diagrams and videos for certain topics is a lazy and harmful approach to learning

god my eyes can't roll farther back in my head. your point would be less absurd if it weren't for the fact that algebraic geometry is an enormously powerful and productive area of math whose whole ass founding principle is that geometric interpretations of algebraic objects are extremely useful.

AND

spectral theory (what fourier analysis is called today) is an extremely geometric area owing to the dependence of convergence on the metric.

At $20/hour for a new F-250 rental, Home Depot has better options available. If people wanted to haul lumber, they probably wouldn't show up with a trailer attached, they would buy a truck with a 8 foot box.
> stereotyping of truck owners

It's kind of ridiculous, really. You know who buys F150s? Everyone. If there were a stereotypical "truck owner" then Ford wouldn't sell better than a million of these every year. They have broad appeal to diverse demographics.

A water supply, land, seeds, tools, enough food to get to harvest and having neighbors you can trust. Trucks and guns are way less important.

In the case of societal collapse you're probably not going far with your truck so taking a week to charge is probably OK.

But of course it's not about what you really need, it's all about perception. In that race, trucks and guns are the most important.
That's fine, I didn't think you were trolling. But I'm not sure what are you an asking an example for? Do you want me to write up a comparison or just tell you some cases where HTML/CSS is lighter than JS? I'd honestly just recommend building a flashy animation primarily with Javascript and then try and build it using only HTML/CSS. Most of the time it will be easier and more readable to go with the latter, as well as more performant and likely to stand up to the test of time.

There are definitely a lot of times where Javascript makes sense, but what I really just wanted to point out is that people usually default to 'Well I'm already writing tons of Javascript, I may as well write more!' as an excuse to create simple animations or transitions with dozens, or hundreds of lines of code, or bringing in a dozen external dependencies to handle it that also break in weird ways. I'm definitely not a NoJS zealot either -- I've been working primarily with React code full-time in production systems since 2014. But over time I've found CSS to be far more pleasant and faster to work with than testing, maintaining, and/or relying on someone else to do the same thing in JS.

Thanks for this! I’m curious how did you come up with the pricing model?
That's what I was most excited about, and agree it is a game changer. Hopefully we can get small e-pickups at some point - I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma that I love, and it would be amazing with a frunk, but you can't really get small pickups that size anymore.
Ford has said they reused much of the same parts for the ICE F150 so it makes sense they look very similar. This will also help the model be profitable as well.
One-way solenoid. Once the update completes, the car clicks the switch back off.
Yeah, this is a bummer for me. I don't really like crew cab (either how it looks, or how it compromises bed length vs. overall truck length), and this really doesn't need it.
I haven't kept up with Ford, but I know they have lane keeping and some sort of adaptive cruise control.

That's Autopilot like anyone else has, it's just not marketed as autopilot.

Anyway, I don't care about Effonefittys, I want an 8 passenger Autopilot vehicle that I can buy used.
I believe the idea is that the demon could be arbitrarily efficient since it opens and then closes the door, allowing a thought experiment of perfect efficiency. Like saying infinity when you mean an arbitrarily large number.

The big space clean-up – and why it matters
We crossed this threshold almost 20 years ago during the GWB administration. A senior administration official, believed to be Karl Rove, responded to a reporter:

“People like you are still living in what we call the reality-based community. You believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of discernible reality. That’s not the way the world really works anymore. We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality. And while you are studying that reality—judiciously, as you will—we’ll act again, creating other new realities, which you can study too, and that’s how things will sort out. We’re history’s actors, and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.” [1][2]

My Ridgeline truck has a trunk in the bed. It’s amazing.
Most sedans get somewhere in the 30s on the highway unless they are hybrids, so it’s about a 50% difference. Not insignificant, but not as massive of a difference as you would think. From a purely economic point of view you’d have to drive a lot for the cost of gas to cost you more than you save from having less depreciation.
