No- it's about federal power.

The department making the rules likely wouldn't have any federal jurisdiction over any offspring, as they'd be privately owned, and would not be "imported wildlife." They do, however, have (an absurd & abusive amount of) power over the initial import permits.

At least that's the "loophole" that has allowed all other marine mammal exhibits to remain open, even after their capture has been illegal for decades.
Same. Want nothing to do with them.

Also night driving. I love low interior indicator lighting. The big screens inhibit night vision. The older we get, the worse this is.
> * All of the weight is in the bottom of the vehicle, giving a lower centre of gravity. I'd bet this will kill the old F150 in a moose (or child!) test.

The important thing to note about the moose test is that it doesn't specify that the moose has to survive. It's simply a test of whether the occupants will survive hitting a moose. I would wager anything that is designed to pass the moose test will kill anything that it hits that is below the moose's center of gravity. So actually the vehicle is way less safe for pedestrians than a vehicle that would fail the moose test.

But if all that matters is the safety of the occupant I guess this is okay.

> * The lack of engine means the entire front part of the car is a huge crumple zone. This gives designers more wriggle room for pedestrian protection too. This is an increasingly important requirement in road safety standards.

The kind of "crumple zone" that enhances pedestrian and cyclist safety is more like a beer can. Again, the crumple zones in this vehicle are designed to keep the occupants safe but not designed to keep any other road user safe.
Although not exactly the same thing, California already requires employers to give pay scales for jobs when requested by an applicant and bars asking about their salary history: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtm...
Yes. I've heard this in so many places, it's kind of disappointing that a crowed normally better informed (HN) is being so reactionary about EV batteries. Oh well, guess I can toss EVs as another collective HN Dunning-Kruger domain along with diet and psychology.

The problem is larger than the power mix. Wind turbines & gas pipes can be winterized (which still hasn't been done yet). However, the Texas Interconnect is purposefully isolated because it does not want to be federally regulated and join the Eastern Interconnect. That is absolutely atrocious IMO. El Paso had power (West Interconnect) while the rest of the state went into the stone age. Crazy demand can happen in the summer as well. San Antonio almost every summer has rolling brownouts due to high demand from the heat. Cooling centers are a regular occurance.
I'll definitely check this out!
I think these people get a thrill from having power over people. That's why most of these "office romances" are nothing about romance.
There's no "could be" here. Not wanting to go to jail is a subjective preference.

That most people prefer the same thing, does not make value objective.

If it did, Bitcoin would also have "objective value" from its scarcity, difficulty of confiscation, ease of move between borders, and many other properties which are preferred by most.
I had a 1996 (iirc) Buick that had AC/Heat knob that did that. It was red on the right, blue on the left. If you left it at the detente position it was outside air. Turn in left, AC; turn it right, heat. Then there was just a separate knob for fan speed. Now that you mention it, I’ve never seen that again.
> two jobs may have the same title (Senior Developer, or whatever) but have totally different expectations of communication skills, leadership skills, ability to handle pressure, etc and would pay very differently. So you (and everyone else) would be tempted to apply for the top-paying job but potentially not be qualified.

What do you think makes this a problem here? You apply, you interview, the company either gives you the position or not. I don't think anyone would use the salary range as the one and only factor to decide where to apply. It can help to decide where to make more effort or what the comp potential is if I improve my skills.
In the US, discouraging individual ownership of vehicles is probably not going to succeed. I don't want to give up my car and I suspect that electric vehicles and self driving vehicles (when they get here) are going to drive the cost of trips way, way down which will increase the number of trips by a similar amount. The number of vehicles on the road is going to increase.

Because of the increased demand on raods, reducing road space probably won't happen. When cars can get to and from parking spaces by themselves, parking space can move into central towers or edge lots, but the number of spaces is probably going to increase, not decrease.

We all want better forms of transportation, but there's a lot of disagreement about what's better.
I never really "got" the float model for layout, so Grid is a welcome improvement these past few years. That said, this is still missing the one thing I've yet to find in any discussion of CSS.

How to appropriately size text. No -- for the 1,000,000th time -- I will not use Modularscale, which feels obtuse to me. Using some formula on a website that someone says works also feels arbitrary. Not to mention that the SASS implementation hasn't been touched in years.

With Grid, I felt like it was the first time I saw someone create a layout where it was obvious what was going on. I have yet to see something like this system - but for text sizing.
Use the `"file_tab_style"` setting. Do note that the older tab styles are missing some features, like highlighting the focused tab.

If you want to defrost your windows, you want hot, dry air. Air conditioning dries your air. If you combine A/C and heat, you get the best defrost performance.

A/C also consumes some amount of power and fuel efficiency- you may want the coolest air you could possibly have without A/C.
That puts it in perspective.

Ford sold 787,000 F-150’s in 2020 and about 1 million F-series trucks in total.

It depends.

There's a couple classes of 'Truck guys'. The Truck guys that just want power, yeah they'll probably go for this.

The Truck guys that like throwing turbodiesels in to get HP/Torque numbers like what we see in the lightning, I would say it depends on whether Ford makes it 'Moddable' or not.
multicar crash happens 1/cars times, duh, they account for the same fatalities but you are far less likely to be in one, because they are tied to exceptional events (i.e. snow) and non uniform across the population.
I would buy this truck for the 11 outlets with gobs of power alone. They get it.
The most Orwellian thing I have recently witnessed was around the days prior to the inauguration. MSNBC was covering the border and commentators frequently used the phrase "kids in cages", after Biden took office they suddenly went from frequent coverage of "kids in cages" to infrequent coverage of "migrant overflow facilities". Nothing had changed policy wise, the man took office less than a week prior.

Point being, Fox News aren't the only ones like that, they are just the only mainstream conservative outlet like that.
The minivan has the space but only if you plan ahead and allocate the space to hauling. I've underplanned trips in my minivan for large/bulky items (e.g. beverage fridge, ikea bookshelf) several times and had to do impromptu adjustments of the seats/positions to get items in. It doesn't help that I have a bunch of kids car seats to deal with when converting to "hauling mode".

Much less futzing w/ the truck I'm sure.
> If/when technology switches over to the micro-mechanical, we'll suddenly all be scrambling to re-introduce a generation to this 1800s-era mechanical design stuff...

Probably not. Micromechanics is completely different from larger scale mechanics, the kinds of problems you have to solve and the tools you have to solve them are often completely turned on their head.
Since I’m not familiar, can someone explain how powerco workers working to repair lines would be affected by households which get powered by their vehicle automatically when mains power goes out if their vehicle is plugged in? Is a switch going to auto trip to keep power from going out to the street?
Someone needs to start a dash company for these auto manufacturers. They are all hideous and have terrible functionality. Why would I ever want to control my heated seats through a touchscreen? Or A/C? Or Radio presets. I want to buy a newer vehicle but they are all so bad.
Two reasons:
1) The compressor uses some power from the engine, reducing gas mileage.
2) You can actually use it in conjunction with the heater to get dehumidified hot air.

> The important thing to note about the moose test is that it doesn't specify that the moose has to survive.

The moose test is about safely dodging around a moose that wanders out onto the road without wrecking the vehicle.

Why did you write this long comment as if you were an expert on the moose test if you don't even know what the moose test is? That's an incredibly disingenuous thing to do.

Handling Eventual Consistency with Distributed Systems
Speaking personally, I've never owned a truck but began considering it during Covid. Why?

The cost premium of hiring someone for home improvement jobs vs. DIY seems to have gone up. And the difficulty of finding someone qualified, reputable and with available capacity seems to have become exponentially higher.

"So I guess I need a truck" is what I've recently been thinking.
Ok, I'll check that out later.
I don't understand the concept of Maxwell's Demon.

Wouldn't this demon require it's own energy source to perform this sorting of hot/cold particles? It has to move it's arms or whatever it is doing to manipulate the door. It has to use it's brain and eyes to determine which particles to sort.

How is this any different then if you had a heat exchanger or other mechanical device sitting there? I must be missing something obvious.

> saving a bundle in shipping costs on new kitchen cabinets

Both Lowes and Home Depot offer free delivery for orders over $45. I've also done several home improvement projects, and never needed to pay a dime in shipping. Are you buying directly from the manufacturer or something I'm missing here?
> It's also true that the new homeservers aren't yet ready for prime time. But they're coming along really fast.

I have seen way too many being abandoned to believe that. In fact last time I researched I put Conduit in the abandoned list, though apparently I was wrong. Matrix is just a too complex protocol, and way too focused on one and only one server implementation. Which is ironic considering probably every other competitor protocol (save for perhaps IRC itself) is even more complex, but at least they were not that complex when they initially showed up -- so other people could actually start implementations that survived and growed along.
Ford includes several pictures of towing recreational trailers (travel trailer, boat) in seemingly remote locations among their promotional images for this truck: It certainly isn't the bulk of the market, but it is a very important market.

They're appealing to people who tow stuff currently and aspirationally (e.g. people who don't currently tow trailers, but like to imagine that one day they will. "What if" scenarios).

Eventually the charging infrastructure will be there, including for towing vehicles, and it would be a case of scheduling a lunch around a charge.
I live in one of the few places in the US that has the geography and density to make bike commuting one of the fastest and most efficient ways to get around. I would gladly ride a bike almost everywhere if it were safer.

I don't, because I don't feel like putting my life at risk on a regular basis just to get where I need to go.

There's a reason that bike ridership skyrockets when useful protected bike infrastructure gets installed. The demand is there.
What's the best way to have both Sublime 3 and 4 on my Mac? Would it be to rename 3 in ~/Applications and its subl to subl3, then download 4 and let it run as-is?
I'm not sure it makes sense though. Now you have to choose between transportation and powering your home. As well, the power needs to go out when the truck happens to have a full charge. I think it cost them little to add (because they already have on-board power ports, which does make sense), but from a practical standpoint, I don't know how useful it is.
Ironically, the frunk on electric trucks is a game-changer. Complementing the bed with an enclosed, waterproof, secure place to carry things (and no mucking around with insecure bed covers) is a killer feature. No more springing for a crew cab just to carry groceries in the rear seats. In terms of practical carrying capacity this dominates an SUV.
Ideally in the moose test the moose and car never make contact. It is a test of the car's ability to safely support extreme evasive manoeuvres, rather than its crash survivability.

Tall SUVs typically fare worse at this because of their higher centre of gravity causing instability:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose_test
There are a certain group of users that need the machines to be strong for towing, tall for required ground clearance, and with bed capacity to haul material, tools, and other everyday cargo.

There is another group that doesn't need any of things but is convinced that they might some day. They are aspirational requirements. Why are those people convinced they need these things? The same reason anyone is convinced they need anything in the modern world. Advertising. Truck ads tell you that the Ford F150 is a tough truck for men who are tough (or want to be) and don't take nothin' from nobody (once they get out of this crappy job) and are masters of nature (or surely would be if they didn't live in the suburbs).

They buy product placement in all the badass movies, their commercials look like b-roll from a transformers movie, and the trucks themselves get more comfortable and less utilitarian every year.

Ford is not in the business of selling (light) trucks - they are in the business of selling an aspirational lifestyle to a population that thinks they might one day become an action hero. The F150 is, and has been for a long time, a consumer toy and not a serious work vehicle.
What do you mean? I cannot afford to NOT buying a smarttv?
Fuel efficiency standards killed the small truck. In the turn of the century EV era, Ford had an electric Ranger which was built on the much smaller (at the time) Ranger platform. But you can't make an ICE small truck that meets the 200x updated CAFE standards, so the small trucks either disapeared (S10) or got bigger (toyota small trucks), or got bigger then disappeared and later reappeared still big (Ranger).

An EV truck presumably can be any size, but there's no current small truck platform to build on.
Range rovers have been doing something like this for a few years. Theirs can go between being radio controls and climate controls pretty seamlessly. I think it's a great compromise between touch controls and tactility

>a) reduce road and parking space in order to encourage better forms of transportation ,

I don't see that happening. SUV's and pickups are so popular in the US because most cities are more similar to Houston and LA than NYC or Chicago.

Currencies can continue quite happily without notable military power in the absence of outside threats, whilst an absence of military in the presence of invaders tends to hinder taxpayers' ability to create value regardless of what currency they were paid in before the invasion.

Arguing that military exists for the purpose of protecting currency is akin to arguing that cryptographers exists for the purpose of protecting currency. Technically, that is one of the things they do [for cryptocurrencies and banks alike], but it'd be fairly ridiculous to claim that making cryptographers more useful was some sort of negative side effect of currency comparable to Bitcoin's energy use.
Yeah, HODLing is underappreciated. I once tried mining, a long time ago. Dumped $5k in mining equipement and, at the time, barely broke even. Had I bought and held, instead of wasting countless hours on the project, I would've been way better off.

Then again, I did have the somewhat limited foresight to keep ~33% of what I've mined in crypto form so not a total loss ;)

I don't know how HR departments typically deal with this sort of thing. There's an obvious downside to posting a bunch of job openings that have effectively already been filled. The same applies to outside hires that effectively have had positions created for them (and job descriptions written with them in mind).
Is there any actual data that shows there is correlation between the mass of vehicles and number of people killed?

Obviously heavier cars are more deadly when hitting people with all the other variables fixed, but not all these variables are independent. They could also depend on the weight of the cars. For example, maybe the car becomes easier to control/steer when it's heavier (totally made up point), which counters the inherent risk introduced by the weight.

Without real-world data I won't be too quick to say heavier car is more dangerous.
Secret Phone Killers – Which apps are the most demanding on your phone
I can only imagine how much the Pandemic stretched the average home Internet. We had pretty good Internet, ~300Mbps in, maybe 15Mbps out, $100/mo, and when my wife and I and both the kids were on video meetings, it just couldn't keep up. I'd have to turn off video on my meeting to keep from losing audio. Upgraded to gigabit (30Mbps upstream?) and that helped, but it still struggled. Might have been at Xfinity...

About 6 months into it, we got hooked up for the municipal fiber network, we were not in the first batch deployed but were fairly early. Symmetric gigabit for $60/mo, and it's been working amazingly!

But, as the article says, "haves and have-nots". Our entire city should have the municipal network in a year or two. So the whole city will have it, and I think they'll be offering some incentives for people who can't afford the $60/mo. But nationally, and even in the rest of Colorado, there are still a lot of "have-nots".

What is this noisemaker? Is it sort of an electronic whine? I thought that was just the motors. Otherwise I've never heard any kind of artificial noise from a slow-moving EV.
> Home inspectors are a borderline scam. In my experience they never find any of the real problems and only surface superficial stuff that should be obvious even to a layman.

In most states, home inspectors are licensed and insured professionals so they can be held liable for obvious omissions from their reports. But there are a lot of holes in the system, and there's no clear guide for inexperienced home buyers to vet inspectors.

The benefit of a good inspector is that they aren't the buyer and thus have no temptation to overlook things the buyer might miss. A good inspector is thorough and will take several hours to perform an inspection of even a small home.

If you can find a very reputable inspector, it's generally a good idea to use them both when selling or purchasing homes. Inspecting your home before sale can identify issues you can quickly address and it gives comfort to buyers to see an inspection report on the counter when they do a walk through.

I got burned with a home purchase early on in my life because I used my realtor's inspector who wasn't licensed in my state. When we later discovered a foundation issue we had no recourse because the inspection report had a disclosure on it.

A general problem in the US is that it's mostly ok to be misleading as long as you have a disclaimer, and that disclaimer doesn't necessarily have to be upfront or obvious. As a result of have a lot of "Administrations", "Bureaus", and "Authorities" that superficially appear to be governmental or reputable but turn out to be scams.
