How incredibly bitter, you'd think tourists killed his mother. Some of the points hold true but others have changed since the 50s: guided tours and hotels are much less in vogue than they were and the advent of internet reviews applied to everything has both diluted the crowds at the "sights," aside from the world-famous ones, and allowed for more individualized experiences even in tourist-heavy areas, provided one does one's own planning. AirBnB has even returned staying in local homes to fashion, albeit through the medium of capitalism. I suspect Enzensberger would, if rewriting the essay, cast these changes as yet emptier commodities without even the humanity of a travel agent mediated by faceless megacorporations, but based on the original I don't think tourism has evolved as soullessly as he expected.

Hahaha they still do it's just harder to see.
My too. This is literally why I bought a pick-up truck 20 years ago. (Which I still drive today. The Tacoma will outlive me.)

I love it myself. I've moved with it, carried music equipment to gigs with it, brought home countless DIY projects from the hardware store with it, and even camped in the back of it. But I also have done many many favors for friends.
> At any rate, what exactly would objective supporting data look like here?

I don't know, which is why I wouldn't stereotype such a large group of the population. To a reasonable approximation, everyone in America is a truck customer. It's way too broad to have a common defining characteristic.

I agree that there is a subgroup (think of them perhaps as the 'brodozer' crowd, I guess) that seem to be who you're thinking of. They mostly don't drive F150s, they're more likely to go for a diesel HD pickup. And even then they are just a niche of that market. I know lots of superduty owners that want nothing to do with those folks.
Good luck when you get into an accident with your teardrop trailer, rv camper or even motorcycle trailer and you find out your insurance company won't pay it because you were over your tow capacity (if you even had any) with or without e-breaks.
There is not flaw in the system. Trees and large shrubs come down. Municipal compost sites have the space and equipment compost large amount of material that home owners can't deal with. The arrogance in this thread is unbelievable.
1. I'm really glad they didn't go with the "futuristic" look of the bmw or Volt, where extra "techie" lines create a muddled design. Just make EVs look like aerodynamic ICE vehicles, this will increase adoption rates.

2. How much power does the generator/house back-up provide? I can see it being enough for a couple tools on a jobsite, but how long will it run a refrigerator, furnace, lights, etc.?

3. In this page, Ford claims to have the largest charging network in the USA. How is that possible, I thought Tesla had a huge lead on supercharging stations and destination chargers?

4. Price: At 40k base, you'll be seeing average costs of 50k+, even after the 7.5k tax incentive. I'd take the larger battery for sure, it would greatly increase the utility of the truck for my cases. 50k is what MANY truck buyers are already spending, I don't see that being an obstacle at all.

5. Gripe: Most people who claim to need a truck don't really need to OWN a truck; they should just rent. I live in a rural area and 95% of the trucks I see have 1 passenger and on average almost no cargo in the bed. We are polluting our planet for the occasional privilege of using our OWN truck...people simply buy vehicles for the outlying use case, not the modal case, and it's incredibly inefficient.

6. Overall: These EVs are a step in the right direction. It's still energy inefficient overall, and renting an ICE truck once a month would still be better than buying a new massive EV truck, but this is a step in the right direction. It'll nudge the "I want my own truck" people in the right direction towards efficiency.
How We talk about CPU (or processors, or cores, or)
Some people count on that to take advantage of you. One of the easiest strategies is to start asking for small favors, and then move on to bigger ones. Because the person has already granted you a small favor, it’s harder for many to say no to the bigger ones even if they want to.

But if it makes you happy, I guess that’s all that matters!
So if your big codebase were profiled, and the 99th percentile case happened to spend 80% of its time in this function, you would still stick to the old function unwaveringly?
Even if your system was latency sensitive, and your 99 percentile spikes were far from acceptable?

Sure, there are many cases where this is a premature optimization. This blog never said otherwise. But that doesn't mean there is never a time for optimization. And if profiling points at this, then this speedup can be valuable.
You can buy giant drawers to put in the bed of a pickup, and still have access to what's in them even when loaded.

Mercedes makes a couple of models as well if the idea of driving a Ford offends you.
> you are saying the way to solve this issue is by getting rid of the filibuster?

Yes. If the party that wins gets to drive then they will be responsible for the direction the country is headed in. After a few years, If people like that direction they will vote for them, if not they won't. The current system let's them blame the other guy every time they fail to do what they promised, the new one makes it clear that it just wasn't a priority for them.

One way to limit partisanship is to work together, another way is to have one party win and be accountable, knowing that they will be replaced if they don't perform.

TSLA literally lies about the cost of the car on their website though.

Gas savings... What? This isn't some special tax credit you get, they lie about their pricing by including savings over time of ownership...

The author makes a hand-wavey argument criticizing a claimed hand-wavey ("complexity") justification for PoS. I don't think there is any way of deriving valuable info from this beyond just a personal opinion and some interesting illustrations.
This is because you are translating your words to fit the medium. It’s a reduction. This is exactly what DHH folks have to do, except it’s to practically a different language.
Suppose the seller got a bad report. Wouldn’t they just shop to a new surveyor to get a better one? The incentives are bad in this situation.

Also, even if the money first comes out of the sellers pocket, it’s still being paid by the buyer in the houses cost.
> I do notice (and sometimes make fun) if [...]

I think this is the key point in the whole thread. I have no idea how many people who live on my street have pickups -- I've never noticed.

The only pickups I notice are the ones which are "coal rolling", have multiple flagpoles flying political slogans in the bed, or are lifted so far I have clear sightlines beneath them.

I have never seen a "coal rolling" Honda Accord, in contrast.
With a compiler or architecture change, I guess this could create awkward to handle performance regressions.

I think it's interesting to look at this through the lens of Christensen's disruptive innovation idea.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator%27s_Dilemma

The move by Ford offers strong evidence that electric vehicles at this point have become a sustaining, not disruptive innovation. Incumbents like Ford can now compete using existing business models and possibly manufacturing practices/equipment.

EV companies like Tesla are now positioned very poorly. They've burned capital chasing the top end of the market during the disruptive phase. Rather than servicing unserved low-end markets that companies like Ford couldn't touch for business reasons, Tesla went after the very top end of the market. Piles of evidence say that this approach will fail, not necessarily for technical reasons but for business reasons.

Successful marketplace disruptors attack the market from the bottom by offering objectively inferior technologies with steeply improving performance. That tech trajectory eventually allows the disruptor to gobble the market from the bottom up, with incumbents only too happy to leave low-end, low-margin customers behind. Think microcomputers vs. minicomputers.

Rather than running this playbook, Tesla chose the alternative: attack the very top end of the market. It never went through the phase where its products were mistaken for toys.

Now that EV production costs and technologies allow easier transitions, Tesla's business model is upside-down. If Tesla couldn't consistently turn profits during the phase it held the advantage, it is going to become almost impossible now that the playing field has leveled and the incumbents can just run the playbook.

I really feel like some of the cuts these companies are taking should just be a flat fee. A ticket takes the same amount of compute and bandwidth to process whether it's $10 or $100. It's been a while since I've gone to a show but aren't the much reviled TicketMaster's fees still a flat amount?

My same questions still apply in the case of pedestrian deaths.

Have we decided we're okay with the number of pedestrian deaths caused by compact cars and SUVs? Some SUVs are heavier, have less visibility, and would presumably lead to more pedestrian deaths than cars, so why isn't there a similar condemnation against those vehicles? Or maybe there is?

And both chains continue - but it usually becomes very clear which chain is stronger - and the weaker chain can be killed off because it can be attacked more easily - which devales the value of that chain. 24 vs 520 in this case is the has rate difference, or a 20x difference.

Pretty cool. I'd buy one if they made a regular cab, short bed, base model version. Not gonna happen. Probably never will since it isn't a matter of simply producing a shorter frame and altering the body shell. Not enough call for it.

In my case (not that anyone cares), lower end trucks are fairly optimal. Low repair costs, don't care about gas mileage (not enough miles/year), good visibility, don't ever need a back seat, ease of repair and accessibility, need space for transporting big and tall stuff often enough. Kind of a no-brainer.

The emergency house power angle is the killer app for me. Plus never going to a gas station, changing oil, etc.

You do have to wonder how much longer any EV subsidy can last. It highly favors wealthier people (due to the tie to income tax in many cases) and won't hold up to widespread adoption of EVs

Just a small point:

> Trucks offer HUGE cabs (larger than a lot of SUVs), with the convenience of a huge bed for throwing toys or moving things

Generally, the huger the cab, the smaller the bed. It actually annoys me how popular 6 ft (or less!) beds have gotten in recent years. Especially when so much lumber comes in 8 ft length.

It's arguably not a strawman argument in the slightest.

There have been changes made to these trucks that do a great job of looking aesthetically "tough and mean" and selling trucks, while also making them more dangerous to other road users: not just to pedestrians, but to other cars via the bumper overlap issue.

Yeah, I get that. But at some point you have to let go of that fear & wariness. Arseholes are pretty universal, and whether they're having a go at you because of your accent, your immigration status, or the colour of your hair doesn't matter all that much. Arseholes gonna arsehole, and they'll find a stick to beat you with if they so desire. The vast majority of people, thankfully, aren't arseholes, and their intentions tend to be on the "good" part of the spectrum.

Same here. Even the wife part. The hardest/funniest thing is trying to elaborate the source of my thoughts.

Me: brings out birthday cake, we sing happy birthday to my son

Wife: What are you thinking about?

Me: That doorknobs probably got invented before door handles.

Wife: ...

Then I have to explain that I was thinking about the kitchen door and the dining room, and how we removed it when we first moved in, and how I was holding the cake with both hands and then thought about the door because it would have been annoying to deal with a door knob while holding a cake, that lead me to think how our house uses doorknobs only, and it's part of the problem of opening doors...and yeah.

...as a side note, I was wrong, door handles were invented first. It's because the mechanism is easer and relies on gravity, instead of a mechanism doing it for you.
I think it could be quite useful in construction, food trucks, events - any situation you normally see generators.

However, even better for that kind of stuff would be a hybrid with a smaller battery, but a generator in the frunk (sort of like the Volt).
I had a really bad fungus gnat infestation. I tried sticky traps, BT, and water with Fels Naptha soap. In the end, drying out the soil was the only thing that worked for me. I did it two different ways, but not sure if this is doable in your situation with veggies and planter boxes. For an avocado plant, I let the soil dry completely and then some before watering the plant again. The other was a money tree where I couldn't get the soil to dry fast enough, so I ended up repotting it with cactus mix. Once deprived of water, the fungus gnats disappeared.
You also probably miss out on the fraud and negative ROI that the investigations would conceivably uncover.

Also, making decisions around catching Tesla or GME at the right timing in the market… that’s not a great starting point for investment strategy.

And the DOJ needs to break it up.

If we continue to trend in this direction, Apple and Google will own 30% of all commerce in America. It's not okay, and it isn't legal. The DOJ hasn't been focused enough to shut them down.

The simple fix is to disallow app stores and "pay with Apple/Google". But if if it requires that the companies are broken into pieces, so be it.

If you're running a startup today, how on earth do you rationalize competing with these absurd giants? They're eating our lunch, and the only reason they can do so is monopoly power.

I realize that Apple and Google employees and stockholders may have different views, but this isn't an equitable or healthy market.

Conclusions: turn off lights, or put them on motion-detection switches, and use red lights.
So I can see the stars I turned off the outside lights long ago. Neighbors still light-pollute throughout the night, sadly. As I get to know them better I intend to ask them to change, maybe even offering the hardware.
If you keep lights on outside at night, why?
Very informative channel. City planning is extremely important for human life and only recently in the U.S. have we started to rethink how it should be done.
I think the difference here is that doing so would be a hardfork and would require everyone to opt into the change. Contrast this with PoS where if 51% of the stakers woke up one morning and decided to rewrite the last 2 weeks of the chain they can immediately do so, and anyone who disagrees must opt out.

I wouldn't say "capitalism" so much as "run-away capitalism", and the marxist stuff was probably where your downvotes came from. But that aside I agree, and this was more or less what I was going to post. Perhaps unlike you, I do generally like "progress" and believe that it "lifts all ships." But in the past several decades, this has become less and less true, for a variety of reasons. And fundamentally, you have to be sure most of your society has the basics before getting wrapped up in ever-increasing wild dreams of the future. For a little bit, those who were getting left behind didn't feel their disenfranchisement quite so painfully. I wonder if we'll have a nasty surprise when things crank back to full power again.
Yes, but how do you go about deciding which vehicles are OK to drive?
Yes, it does all depend. I guess where I'm coming from is people have skewed ideas of the thresholds that define "need" here, and often say "why do you even need a truck??" in an almost shaming way, and ignore your reasons when you list them off (you're not doing that here, but in general I'm sensing an ideological stigma against trucks).

> Even used, the marginal cost of a truck in maintenance and higher gas bills really adds up. Comparing a used F-150 to a used Prius, mile-per-mile, the truck is going to be more than twice as expensive.

Again, depends! For me, the cost of a truck in maintenance and gas is much cheaper than a Prius, because the Prius can't do most of the things I'd want a truck for to begin with. Gas included: I don't take the truck on long road trips. But I'm lucky and have a honda and a truck. If you only have budget for once vehicle, then yes, weigh the pros and cons much more carefully. If you have a used car and a used truck though, you can pay about as much as you'd pay new for either of them (less, even), and have much more utility.

Lastly, I'd wager that an F150 from the 90s is going to be a lot cheaper to maintain than a Prius in the long run due to the Prius' overall complexity. I wouldn't make that same bet on any truck built after 2005, though.
In all seriousness, this proves a good point: it's easier to work with people (e.g. lotteries) than against (e.g. shaming to get the vaccine), even stupid selfish people you might not like.

I think the author's point is that in a PoW fork, the hash power is a fixed resource and must split between forks. In a PoS fork, prefork holders can stake the same amount of coins on both forks, thereby "doubling" the total coin being staked. With PoW, the fact that the hash power has to split between forks gives a mechanism for a consensus between forks to be found. With PoS forks, you might as well just continue to stake both forks.
What I have see is construction workers where the step van is the "work vehicle" and a crew cab pickup is the "family car" - though as often it's an SUV or a minivan.
There is something off about the numbers. Ordinary, day to day auroras can locally reverse the magnetic field. So, maybe the average change was less than 10% of the average magnetic field, but I've no doubt that local variation can be much, much higher.

And reading further down, the article claims the change in magnetic field is slow. It's not. It's very fast.

The article does not get the basic physics correct. The one thing that is correct is that it is unlikely to damage your cell phone. What will happen is that massive currents will be induced in transmission lines blowing up transformers and possibly damaging anything plugged into mains.
IntelliJ's autocomplete is much better, but it's doing some heavy lifting to get such good results.

I haven't gone crazy testing ST4 btw, I played with it for like 20 minutes. It felt like it was maybe 65% between ST3's auto-complete and what you'd get with a LSP back-end using VSCode. Meaning it's closer to VSCode than it is than ST3, but not as good as a LSP, but there's also no effort to get it set up so it's a reasonable trade off if you're someone like me who just wants pretty good auto complete without configuring a million tools to run in the background.

I think ORMs are part of the problem. By abstracting away SQL, it becomes really easy to write something that generates terribly inefficient SQL without realizing. It's easy to not realize it in small test environments with small test amounts of data, too.

Even a single n+1 query can really hose performance by burdening the entire database.

If I was French or Italian, I'd be extremely offended at that implication that kids are being taught that crime is an acceptable societal and moral choice, especially just because one might not receive a government bribe because they don't meet an arbitrary age requirement.
The author addresses this and
I think is right about it. It doesn’t at all really matter about what happens in step 2 and what weird complex rules you put in place because fundamentally votes on the network are now coin instead of compute power. It’s the same with PoW chains. How you turn “I have some compute” into votes doesn’t change that the fact that compute
is the thing that produces votes.
So if you're going on a long trip, just rent a car.
