Yeah I think a balance is good. The point I'm making in the post though is that ultimately you ship the product not the code and I always want to work with folks who get that.
Well, thanks for ruining the www and selling patent rights to Google. (Imagine if those rights were owned by the EFF.) Its not so much the tracking of www users concept that is so annoying, its the need for web pages to trigger all these extraneous requests. A gazillion unnecessary requests to tracking servers returning no useful content to the user. Even the simplest of pages with minimal content transformed into dumpster fires of ad and tracking-related cascades of Javascript-triggered requests. What a mess.

Honestly, I do not understand how anyone except scumbags, e.g., the guy on his knees in the atrium, would think this is cool. Good luck.

Agriculture is the next frontier of big tech. The last several decades decades have seen continuous improvements in labor effectiveness with automated equipment. Ag is big business, big data and in the next decade (IMHO) will be big tech.

I believe ycombinator even invested in a few ag tech startups.

The idea that we'll basically poison you just up to
a point that's nearly fatal in order to kill the
cancer is such a terrible way to treat someone.

TBH that's how a _lot_ of drugs work - for instance, sabotaging certain parts of cell division can be an effective treatment because the disease needs that mechanism more than the patient.

It's also a hazard in drug discovery - the linked blog has plenty of examples of compounds that did a GREAT job of disrupting biological activity of a pathogen in a Petri dish because they're GREAT at wrecking biology in general.

One other note, re: "started from mustard gas" - many antibiotics are really just chemical weapons we're borrowing from fungi.
That's a bit reductive. All tribes may share this characteristic, but not to the same degree.

I hear what you're saying, but I also believe this to be a solvable problem
You're also just paying for predictability. While lemons are a thing, they're less so than they used to be, and there's something to be said--if you can afford it--for buying a car that can probably run for 10+ years with minimal risk of serious maintenance issues.

And, in snow belt areas, you start to run into rust issues 15 or so years on.

There are smaller festivals everywhere if you know where to look. And by that I don't mean they are secret or anything like that, just that they don't have the advertising budget of Star Wars conventions. A few Google searches is usually enough to give you some event close to you, and once you get there, if you are interested, people will tell you about more "underground" events.

And sure, Covid closed a lot of them, but the scene is not dead, in fact it is more than ready to start again as soon as they are allowed to. And by the virtue of being smaller, they are at an advantage: more flexible, less likely to exceed attendance thresholds, and sometimes a bit less legal.
Usually rentals require/include max comprehensive insurance (regulations vary based on the state in US), so if the warranty doesn't cover it then the insurance should.

While I am on the side of right to repair I don't see how this is that relevant to the issue. It seems like more of an issue with insurance/rental laws, transparency in legal agreements, tesla's pricing & service being a bad deal, and possibly negligence on the renter's behalf. I don't think that any company should be allowed to hold a renter liable unless it's proven they damaged the property on purpose. Usually there are a lot of protections in place for renters so it's possible tesla is breaking the law or the renter accepted some liability attempting to save money.

Rentals and shared ownership situations are always messy anyways... A lot of this just reminds me of: "My condo HOA decided to hire the most expensive roof repair company in town!! Why can't we just pour some cheap tar across the roof and call it good for a few more years?!?!"
>because of terminology like this "Electrified Garage also notes that the cooling system doesn't get anywhere near as hot as an internal combustion engine, and it's not likely that it would either, given that the operating temperature for most lithium-ion batteries is well below 60 degrees Celsius."

>So this repair is made on anecdotal observation of ideal conditions, and disregarding factory specifications, and actual Tesla trained technicians.

The context here is not "they're half-assing it because the system demand are minimal so they can". It's "this repair technique works just fine on real automotive cooling systems that are much more demanding".

>If this was your car, and this damaged was caused by someone else's fault, would you want a hack fix, or it fixed to the manufactures specification? He Broke Telsa's car.

Why don't you just be honest and say "if money was not object because it wasn't your money"? That's all your hypothetical situation changes.

Most people's answer is going to be along the lines of "sure I'll take a free battery but if the hose barb is functionally equivalent and gets me my car a week sooner than it'll depend on how badly I want the car back"
>suggesting that the administration would use door-to-door vaccination efforts as a means to “take your guns”

That's prognostication. Calling it "misinformation" is incorrect when it hasn't played out yet. They should remind people that the man who threatened that, Beto, wasn't elected to the US Senate office he campaigned on that promise, but that he did endorse Biden.
Appreciate it, thank you! I'm looking for Obsidian to be more of a replacement to Noteplan though.
The ESP-01 is smaller, cheaper, less battery heavy, and already speaks serial so it wouldn't be hard to integrate it, just for the WiFi... And at a quick look there's a bunch of TI<->Arduino stuff out there in the wild it should be easy.
Thank you! These look great, will tinker with these over the weekend.
More than the new markets, it would be great to get "boots on the ground" information of real honest no bullshit understanding of the pain points of farmers, agricultural industry in general. Sometimes markets are not well defined or don't exist but taking a fundamental look at problems is fascinating. This information is hard to come by and people like yourself can help.
I also loved this game, but then Stargate was released and I liked it more. Do you why they are so similar? Do they share any code or the same programmers?
If no product is ever developed, then there is no licensing or infringement. A troll may still try to use it to suppress some other product but that can be done regardless of whether a product is developed.

I looked at one of the patents from the Apple case, US6393286B1. Unlike the "small fry" scenarios described above, this was registered by Ericsson. I cannot tell whether the patent is actually inventive, but it seems likely that Ericsson themselves did create a product, as they were involved in creating the 3G standards in the 1990s and they also produced phones. The accusation here is that Apple also created a product based on the same technology, without paying the licensing fees. The current holder bought the rights to the patent in the secondary market. The effect on Apple is the same whether it is Ericsson or the current owner enforcing it.

Sure, it's all out there, and it's possible to build useful software using Go's channels.

I was specifically trying to explain why I say that Go's channels are not intuitive, because they require studying and memorizing these other arbitrary complications.

I'm also curious about what docs you're referring to, exactly. Here's what I found when looking for golang channel docs:

https://golang.org/ref/spec#Channel_types

If the documentation's described behaviour, along with code patterns to accommodate that behaviour, are intuitive to you after reading this, then you have a very different perspective on the world than I do.

I also found these: https://tour.golang.org/concurrency/2 https://golang.org/doc/effective_go#channels

Unless I've missed it in my reading, I don't see any of these clearly stating that the single-return form of channel receive will fabricate zero values when misused, or describing how you need to replace a closed channel with a nil when selecting on multiple channels to avoid spinning the CPU when it's been closed.

I agree that this stuff is learnable. I have learned it, and so have you. I agree that there are learning resources out there that help with learning the nuances of using Go's channels well.

Hopefully this can help you feel less shocked the next time someone says that Go's channels are not intuitive. If you disagree, can you explain more about how Go's channel management choices are more intuitive than the alternatives to you?

[Edit: I found the documentation on producing a zero value when reading from a closed channel here: https://golang.org/ref/spec#Receive_operator]
I would have personally sought out a plastic barb for the chemical compatibility reasons you state (one less variable to worry about) but if it's glycol type coolant brass will be fine. Also there may very well be brass elsewhere in the system informing their decision.

This sounds pretty amazing, but I also have no real idea what I'm reading.

> A modest numerical analysis is carried out on a set of example configurations, finding total energy requirements four orders of magnitude smaller than the solar mass.

Can someone smarter than me say whether this is within the (reasonable-ish?) realm of matter-antimatter reactions? Like Star Trek!? 4 orders of magnitude less than the sun's mass does sound like a positive development - still a lot but less than before, right?
Life threatening? Have you ever used cruise control? In most vehicles on the roads today it doesn’t even brake for itself. Should we recall all vehicles with cruise controls cause the drivers don’t pay attention? Perhaps not, and if you watched those videos no lives were threatened, despite your claim. Tech is advancing and you seem to be on the other side of this equation out of some safety issue.

Did you know 38,000 people die in America each year from auto accidents and another 4,400,000 are injured yearly [1]. I would like to see a decrease in unnecessary deaths and accidents on the road. Self driving cars are the future one way or another because they will be safer than humans. Tesla FSD is in beta, in the few hands of what Tesla has deemed as safe drivers based on their driving data. There have been no accidents on FSD and no deaths either. Autopilot is not the same as FSD.

I honestly thought this article was going to lead to something written by Charlse Stross.

I mean with lines like "A geometrical interpretation of the Eulerian energy is found, shedding new light on superluminal solitons generated by realistic energy distributions" I'm still not sure it wasn't...
When I was in HS, at the exams we were expected to use our TI-84+ calculators, but we were not allowed to have any programs of our own, so they made us clear the programs before they handed out the problems.
Had an industrial plant that used these very dated VBScript based controllers. There was a SQL Server for numeric logs, but nothing for textual logs and therefore no transparency into the system. The textual logs themselves were stored on the devices in a statically sized array, so if the machine rebooted or a lot of logs happened at once (say at interesting times like startup or during errors), it was common to lose any interesting logs.

Spent a while trying to come up with a zero-budget solution for this and during a literal shower thought "Why don't I just tail a log file?" I managed to alter the controllers code to transmit recently written log messages to a minimal server which would just prepend timestamp and origin to the message and append the line to a file. Then each control console would have a Windows-built tail binary that read the file over Samba, wrap it in a batch file that would customize the colors and text a bit, and Plant Tail was born.

The mostly computer-illiterate operators quickly fell in love with it as it provided an amazing degree of transparency to what they were used to and demanded an equivalent utility for all future deployments.

TLDR: Don't rule out simple solutions if you can leverage already existing infrastructure.

I have had so many experiences with this problem across many carriers

Interestingly, there was a a graphic designer named Brian Thorp - and he came up with the first 'magnifying' glass as an icon for search that I was aware of - I could be wrong, but he made that in ~1997 and it was the first icon I had seen of such... (Ill go search my memory)

ANYWAY - the point is that I have seen secret throttling happen across MANY (ALL) carriers in the following theft strategy:

"OFFICE SPACE"

They arent slurping your 'data package' in real-time-transfer... its the Chinese trickle method...

When the Chinese air-gapped Lockheed via a few suppliers in Taiwan, they were trickle hacking.

They didnt try to firehose. But when Lockheed found out about this, there were several security measures that went into action.

Most note: TLS across the board. and Delete ANY email older than X. . (they already had a mitigated exit surface with only 3 egress...

But the Chinese were aggressive on their phish-nets. USBs Dropped about... and more importantly, plants in def conferences... whereby agents were phished with an email a few weeks after the conf "Hey we met at conf X email me here at Y" and exploits abound...

trickle trickle... until you get caught - then do the firehose. until cut.

Cell carriers are *trickle charging you for data when you are attached to wifi so that you dont recognize that you are being robbed.*

Browse the exact same from a diff device that is wifi only.

The other thing I find not talked about AT ALL, would be the HDDs from [Sandia?,JPL?, Livermore?, etc?] -- The fn HDDs that were later recovered and supposedly found behind the copiers/MFPs, and supposedly there were some arrests... but no follow up.

---

Then there was the Chinese spy couple that the husband worked for [JPL?] and they lived this really weird minimalist existence (mattress on the floor, horror movie lighting fixtures, nothing in the fridge) -- and he was a nuke designer for [JPL?]...

My grandfather was a Nuke Designer for GE his entire career and helped design and build Hanford. (I have a lot of nukes in my family) - Every single one of them were the most organized, meticulous engineers I have ever known... Their notes, their books,...

No FN way this JPL chinese spy didnt have EXTENSIVE JPL info he was feeding.

I’m a little confused by this statement; but here are my service options for my datsun. I can order parts from my local dealer, an online dealer, (and I’ve never tried it but I assume from Nissan), and finally the Nissan Motorsports department.

If Tesla chooses to have no dealerships, then I have to go to them for support.

If I go to a dealership and get ripped off, I can call the manufacturer and they can assist with the problem. Happened to our TSX when the motor was burning oil and the guy who was at the parts shop was saying it was within spec. I had to get a support representative from Honda involved with the repair.

The worst case scenario is probably totaling the pack. So why not give the "hack" a try first. It wouldn't be dangerous since the car can sense overheats and shutdown before a cooling system malfunction would cause a fire.
I wish so too, but I certainly wouldn’t market my own products/services by highlighting their shortcomings.

Regulation or third-party analysis is the only real way to solve that problem.
To wake up in a capsule (Capsule B807) is to wake up in a place unlike anywhere else. There is a bed, a window, clothes everywhere and the sound of morning traffic. However, there is also something less tangible, something that makes every waking moment special. Maybe it’s the brilliance of the great round window or the quiet charm of the table, sometimes open and covered with junk, other times closed and silent. Maybe it ’s the door of the bathroom, appearing as if an entrance to a submarine. Or maybe it’s the scale of the room, a scale that seems just about right. Every morning brings a happy sense of the sublime.

I think, based on the photo just below of a room, that my reaction would not be well-approximated by "sublime".

The tone of this article is bordering on rapturous. My reaction would be something a lot closer to "Holy hell get me out of this rotting deathtrap of malaise and asbestos as soon as humanly possible!"

I know that this is subjective, but I thought that this mattered, but ultimately it did not. I rarely (/never) refer back to my electronic notes but I do occasionally browse through my handwritten notes. The advanced features that you mentioned were cool to play with, but are a distraction from the main purpose of note taking.

For what it's worth, I can barely make reminder apps/TODO lists work for me, maybe I should try a hobonichi or something. (/me makes a note to buy one, which I will probably never get around to).
The article doesn’t say his insurance wouldn’t cover it. It says his comprehensive coverage on his insurance wouldn’t cover it. Which is highly likely because this type of incident is usually a collision claim.

If he has comprehensive at all then he almost certainly has collision coverage. It’s just that, then it’s $16k accident that’s he’s at fault for.
Perhaps part of the confusion here is UK vs US? A collision in the UK would normally involve a third party.

In the rental space, collision damage waivers - CDWs - explicitly don't cover undercarriage, wheels, windshields and so on, the kind of damage we're talking about here.

Which is one of the issues with leases. I have some (mostly) non-functional damage to my car from a couple self-inflicted low-speed collisions in a driveway/garage. I'll take some hit when I eventually trade the car in. But I usually trade in cars at 15-20 years and the hit will be far less than if it were a leased vehicle.

Though, in this case, I'm not sure why the owner didn't have comprehensive on a presumably fairly new vehicle. I actually did but decided it wasn't the deductible and presumed hike in premium.
