Looks like roughly 130kwh battery for 230 miles and 180kwh for 300 miles. Large battery is 1800lbs, about twice the size and weight of a Model 3 battery.

Towing range is always a problem with BEV's, to get good range they they usually focus on aerodynamics and rolling resistance which towing completely destroys. Estimates are it will be under 100 miles range towing its maximum of 10,000lbs with the big battery.

Starting at $40k its easy to see how fast battery prices are falling, being a large part of the cost, it feels a lot like how quickly solar panel prices fell.

Main issue is still energy density, both size and weight, which is going up albeit more slowly than cost is going down and it's being somewhat setback by everyone trying to move away from cobalt.

Other interesting features, all models dual motor 4WD, independent rear suspension with locker, built in scale to measure payload and tongue wieght, 9.6kw of inverter power for running AC loads off battery, optional 240v home charger that can also feed power back to a sub panel with auto switchover to act as power backup.

Also, court cases are not just decided by the amount of money you pour in them. You need money to prepare correctly the case and work a good strategy, but in the end facts are considered, and if someone violates copyright, they're going to be found guilty, be them a small company or a FAANG.
In this case those laws are enforcing capitalist-style property rights, which are not limited to profit-seeking associations. The creators, or their assignees, own the enforced rights, and among their property rights is the power to distribute those rights as they see fit. Socialist property rights are more likely to be assigned to the community, with less regard for the rights of the creators. A socialist OSS society may still have a GPL, but choosing that license would be less the right of the developers and more the right of political representatives.

Hah, this is me right now. Architects sold the business on a pie-in-the-sky grand vision, and teams are now busy implementing it even though its value is almost certainly a net negative. (Replacing something currently working with a highly over-engineered "platform" solution-for-all that will end up requiring heavy customization for each client.)

On the plus side, it keeps me employed.
Nobody should have any faith in anything in life that far in advance. You hedge your bets and save anyway even though you can't know if you will live that long, nor if the political reality will allow what currently looks like the best choice will work out that way.

Today in the US the Roth IRA looks like a great investment. I remember when they first came out my dad transfering everything to one even thoguh as he said then "I have to believe they will change the laws and so by the time I retire the tax savings won't happen". So far the laws still make it a good deal, but there is always the risk that the promise gets broken.

from article....

"Materials can be broadly classified as hard or soft matter. Hard materials, like metal alloys and ceramics, generally have a very regular and symmetric arrangement of atoms. Further, in hard matter, ordered groups of atoms arrange themselves into nanoscopic building blocks, called unit cells. Typically, these unit cells are comprised of only a few atoms and stack together to form the periodic crystal. Soft matter can also form crystals consisting of unit cells, but now the periodic pattern is not at the atomic level; it occurs at a much larger scale from assemblies of large molecules."
It's fun how one's own perpectives and opinions change and adapt with the experience of facing real-world problems over years of professional (or otherwise any kind of) experience.

I was contrary to the idea of 3rd party software repositories, and was of the opinion that one should strive to depend as much as possible from system provided packages.

But the same experience that you mention now, is what gave my point of view a 180 degree change, and now I'd rather install something from pip or NPM. I can just pin the desired version, and they more or less have the policy of holding past versions in a frozen state, so if I know for a fact that version 1.2.3 is exactly right for my needs, I'll keep using that one regardless of system.

The weak point of packaging systems (my experience is Debian and Ubuntu) is that normally there are not many (if _any_ at all) alternative versions offered for the same software. They are built with the general assumption that you should use the latest ones, and of course they don't even attempt to offer a history of versions of every package. So every time you upgrade, it happens what you say, "divert attention to the tool's problems instead of using the tool to solve problems" (very good wording by the way, I liked it a lot)
A much better solution, that doesn't violate the right to free association and private property, is for the government to fund the development of open-source peer-to-peer electronic cash systems.

Such systems would be censorship resistant by design, which is a far more robust solution to deplatforming than legislation written by Congressional representatives and their staff, that attempts to use one-size-fits-all rules determining under what conditions deplatforming is justified, or appointing all-powerful committees/agencies that make these determinations on a case-by-case basis, and thereby become the target of regulatory capture campaigns.
Why is it that treating collective nouns (e.g. Apple) as plural has a tendency to trigger an irrational negative emotional response for me? What's even weirder is that I used to think that made more sense and used it too, until convention in American society changed my thinking to flip to singular.
Your first link is a good resource. Thanks! I'm not a security researcher, but perhaps I can add a few comments on their discussion for other users who might not be familiar with the specifics:

> Firefox's sandboxing lacks any site isolation. Site isolation runs every website inside its own sandbox so that an exploit in one website cannot access the data from another.

It does seem that Firefox's site isolation is becoming more ready. From a Mozilla blog post two days ago, with instructions how to manually enable it on Firefox stable, beta, or nightly: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2021/05/18/introducing-sit...

Also, from the same link, they mention X11:

> One example of such sandbox escape flaws is X11 — X11 doesn't implement any GUI isolation which makes it very easy to escape sandboxes with it.

Definitely true that X11 sucks (sorry NVIDIA users). So we have Wayland becoming more mainstream now. I've been using it for several years already, on GNOME and Sway. Working great... even Electron is native now (Signal, VS Code, etc).

And lastly, they rightly mention Pulseaudio:

> PulseAudio is a common sound server on Linux however, it was not written with isolation in mind, making it possible to escape sandboxes with it.

In the last few months PipeWire became a mature drop-in substitute for Pulseaudio in my experience. It was designed with isolation in mind, and a whole bunch of other things.

Hoping Firefox can bridge the gap in security with Chrome so we can wholeheartedly recommend it to people without caveats! We deserve a fast, full-featured, secure, and open source alternative to proprietary web browsers.

I was a PIA customer precisely because I knew they donated to freenode (among other things; ie: financial sponsorship for WireGuard).

Doesn’t seem to me like staff are fully aware of what they’re destroying and how there will never be another real dominant IRC network. Freenode was it. Slack and discord have killed IRC for a lot of things already, and this is now the final nail in the coffin. “Libra”-whatever will not last long, and neither will freenode without staff.

Is all of this worth it? Did he really do anything that bad? Hasn’t a few years of financial donation to various open source projects bought any good will? Isn’t there a reasonable explanation for trying to put some of these things in LLCs and formal organizations, etc.? Someone has to own the domain, right?

It doesn’t sound to me like he was asking for a lot of effort.

Anyway, too late to cry about it, it’s done and over with now. RIP to IRC. I guess I’ll see you guys on Discord! I love the modern internet!!!
This is an interesting shift. When I lived in the UK, I was rather fond of how well public transport worked - in general, and trains specifically. In my native Belgium, on the other hand, it's all basically shit. While Belgium is slowly pushing for less state control in public transport (allegedly on account of EU competition rules), the UK is now changing direction.

Can anyone summarize the background of this decision? Has there been passenger backlash against the current system?

The thing I like the most about capitalism is the whole laissez-faire liberalism aspect. You do what you think best, I do what I think best. I don't have to do things your way, you don't have to do things my way.

In particular, this is what allows us to try out new things: for one, open source. It's really nice to not need approval from anyone before starting your new project, and to me that's the best part of capitalism (though you may choose to call that liberalism instead, it's the same laissez-faire spirit: each person does what they think is best.)

A capitalist world is therefore a great place for open source to grow and blossom—rightly or wrong, you might not like capitalism for other reasons, but this, at least, is to its credit.

(I myself would also argue with describing Open Source as socialism, for similar reasons—the laissez-faire spirit of everyone doing what they think is best is the spirit of capitalism as I see it. But that's mostly just a semantic point.)

I honestly believe the FB UI for reviewers only shows the picture and not the caption, I can't imagine any other explanation.

People are envious
The US has a worse version of this problem than most other western countries. When I used to visit the US on business I found it quite difficult to buy food in the supermarkets because the list of ingredients on even the simplest items had items that I had never heard of or that I could not understand the need for.

The other thing that bothered me was that quantity in many restaurants similar places seemed to be regarded as more important than quality.

I went into a grocery store once while out riding a bicycle to get some water. I picked a bottle that seemed to be water but which turned out to be sickly sweet even though it had no sugar.

Don't get me wrong, some of the best food I have ever eaten was in US restaurants.

I think the only solution is to bring up children without junk food. But I have no idea how that can be achieved.

I had my family with me once and we visited a colleague's house for Thanksgiving dinner. Our host's wife was rather taken aback when my three children asked for water instead of soda, and all three of them found the food far too sweet.

Mind you things are changing here too, when we moved here over thirty years ago one never saw a seriously overweight person. Now it is moderately common.
> I often wonder if something so amazing and vital as the internet and web could actually get made in the current climate.

I’d say the answer is no, it couldn’t. The internet was created during the tail end of powerful antitrust in America, which had the government actively fighting against the monopoly size of corporations. Both IBM and AT&T, had they not been kept in check with antitrust regulations, would have likely stifled the internet and the growth of the personal computer.

Hell, even the last dying gasp of antitrust in its feeble attempt to check Microsoft, paved the way for Google and the monopolies created since.

The answer is to actively support the ideas of anti monopoly and antitrust. To break up companies and punish them for suffocating the good parts of capitalism.

That is not an acceptable stance at an organisation of this size.

Policies don't just exist on paper they're enforced through the process. No employee should just be able to "cowboy" a solution like this.

How does someone bypass the policy if the only way to get your code out is through pipeline? That pipeline required other individuals in the company to approve. Even the most basic regulation that Salesforce would have to deal with talks about speration of roles & responsibilities. Great, a dev can approve their code to go out but ops is responsible for deploying that out to production for this very reason.
I get the sense that it's not a mispelling in the sense that Ariadne doesn't know how kerfuffle is spelled. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I also think that the comparison to Ariadne's bunny plushie - i.e. a fluffy thing - is related. Kerfluffle can be read as a portmanteau of kerfuffle and fluffy - a kerfuffle caused by Lee's need for a soft, fluffy thing to protect his ego. Dunno. Deep exegesis that could be entirely off base - maybe it's just a typo.
Such rhetoric again fails to note why such work is “work”: a significant fraction of the effort isn’t fun & fulfilling, it’s unpleasant and nobody would do it except others will pay to get it done at a price higher than what the workers could earn doing something else.

Food/housing/etc isn’t free. We pay others, and get paid, to efficiently rearrange workloads for better results at less effort. I write security software because few can do what I’m good at but millions need it; in return I pay others to make/do the myriad things I can’t do well. Few indeed would (out of love for the art) continue such work without profitable compensation; I like my job, but don’t wrangle encrypted keys just for fun & fulfillment.
It seems almost as if it'd be more useful to not explicitly expose operators as applicable to arrays, but implement SIMD optimization for operator expressions in .map(function) and something like .binaryMap(right, function) ex.

[1, 2, 3].binaryMap([10, 10, 10], (a, b) => a * b) // Produces [10, 20, 30]

This would be easier to optimize when compiled because the expressions can be simplified and mapped to the right SIMD instructions.

Lots of comments about how this is a good thing, but if private companies are still running the trains, and fares are set centrally, how are they expected to make a profit?

Possibly.

To the degree that you believe Shockley was an important catalyst, that does seem to have been largely happenstance. There are arguments to be made that the next phase after the minicomputer would logically be somewhere other than the Northeast. On the other hand, a great deal of computer tech prior to the minicomputer was concentrated on the northern part of the East Coast, so why a shift? Finally, given Compaq, Dell, and TI, why not a more robust Silicon Prairie earlier?

> The fact that bad people can occasionally benefit from something isn't a reason to not give it to the rest of us.

It actually can be. There's a continuum.

At one extreme are things like plans for nuclear or biological weapons. Nobody distributes those because terrorists really want them for horrible ends and they're of low utility, so we do without them.

At the other extreme are things like junk mail - we all just put up with that minor abuse of the system because having a cheap, flexible mail system is way better than not having junk mail.

Like I said, it's a spectrum, and sometimes bad people being able to abuse something is a good reason for everyone to forgo it.

>Chrome now provides on-device powered live captions [...] which could help alleviate some of the limitations for audio impaired viewers

That's a great feature! But it also highlights the limited accuracy of the AI machine learning algorithm for technical topics with jargon. E.g., at 27m00s, the caption algorithm incorrectly transcribes it as as "APL is joked about as a right only language" -- but we know the speaker actually said, "APL is joked about as a write-only language". And the algorithm incorrectly transcribes "oversonian languages" when it's actually "Iversonian languages".

The algorithm also doesn't differentiate multiple speakers and the generated text is just continuously concatenated even as the voices change. Therefore, an audio-impaired wouldn't know which person said a particular string of words.

This is why podcasters still have to pay humans (sometimes with domain knowledge) to carefully listen to the audio and accurately transcribe it.
