Tesla charge ports are latched onto by the car, so when they get stuck it's because the car won't let go. You can access a manual release from within the trunk but it is by no means easy, convenient, or well-known.

That being said, I've had this happen exactly once 3 years ago. All the complaints I've seen are around the 2018 time frame which is when I had issues so I wonder if it was a software issue with the Model 3 that's since been resolved.

> Everything I've seen using CCS, "stuck" is because someone forgot to push the trigger twice to unlock both the car and charger side.

Trigger? With CCS there's usually a button which is just one side of a lever with a latch at the other end. It's purely mechanical and you have to hold it down to release.
They did controlled double blind studies on thousands of people to verify the safety of the vaccine before releasing it. This is FUD.
'native american' has always seemed off to me given that native people may or may not identify as "american" and america was thrust upon them. When referring to a group i generally use tribal name, "native", indigenous or "native people in america" (when needing to refer to a general world location)
> For pedagogical purposes you can argue that C rots the mind like BASIC but you can't argue that learning C is a waste of time.

That's a strong statement.

C's biggest flaw is that it lies about the underlying memory, but it's a small language that's especially suited to be easy to port.
> Americans being Americans, we will spend everything we got and then some, to make sure that people can work from home in an uninhabitable unimaginably expensive desert rather than working from home in a nice easy place to live.

By my recent calculations, it is significantly cheaper to live in Arizona (my home state) than pretty much anywhere in California (a "nice place to live"). And yes, cost of living includes food.
Things to Know About the Delta Variant
If you can literally pick up and shift to another cloud provider just by moving Kubernetes somewhere else, you are spending mountains of engineering time reinventing a bunch of different wheels.

Are you saying you don't use any of your cloud vendor's supporting services, like CloudWatch, EFS, S3, DynamoDB, Lambda, SQS, SNS?

If you're running on plain EC2 and have any kind of sane build process, moving your compute stuff is the easy part. It's all of the surrounding crap that is a giant pain (the aforementioned services + whatever security policies you have around those).

Just because a few weird individuals chose to do this doesn't mean you have to do it. It's a folk tale used as a rallying cry against Amazon. It has as much meaning as Googlers earning $300K/year choosing to live in vans parked outside the office. Some people make questionable decisions. It doesn't speak at all to any sort of environmental problems.

I don't have a source for this, but I've heard that coffee legitimately does affect some people differently. Because some people have a gene for an enzyme that metabolizes caffeine very effectively, and others don't.

Which, that may not even be true. In which case, I don't mind. It was all by way of illustrating, be careful trying to extrapolate from a sample size of 1. In fact, just don't do it. Conversely, don't assume an aggregate statistic accurately describes anybody in particular.
> She was clearly targeted, ostracized, and fired for speaking her mind. I don’t agree with her statement, but academia is poisoning free speech under the guise of righteousness.

Big claims, iff true.
Likely not ; they might be, by chance - but the exploits are often for bugs in places like media parsing libraries (e.g. jpeg decoder), which are not usually modified in those alternatives.

Different compile settings might render an exploit ineffective. But I’d expect any remotely popular Android derivative (e.g. lineage) to be tested by the attacker - and even postmarketOS, which is not Android based, is likely to use some of the same media parsing libraries.
Your side note is a really good point. I think it's renforced today with the reliance on libraries. These days, the "blub-iness" [1] of your language is not only the language itself, but mostly the libraries. Also, it's easier to wait for your language to integrate the good part of others (Java/C# with immutable records and pattern matching for example) than to change what you use. I sometimes fear that the more time passes, the harder it will be to start a new programming language.

I read the article, I was talking about all swatting situations in general.
>Caffeine reduced flanker conflict difference scores on the Attention Network Test (p < 0.05), theanine increased difference scores (p < 0.05), and the combination did not differ from placebo. Thus, under emotional arousal, caffeine and theanine exert opposite effects on certain attentional processes, but when consumed together, they counteract the effects of each other.

Haven't seen the actual paper yet, but generally reduced difference scores is taken as "better" performance on a cognitive control tasks. Which would mean, caffeine better than theanine, and better than caffeine plus theanine. Don't really know that however, because you lose information when you take a difference score. For example, caffeinated individuals may suddenly find non-emotional stimuli just as distracting as emotional stimuli, and so difference between conditions disappears. That's why its important to note the change in all conditions (emotional vs non-emotional flankers) in all experimental groups.
Haha, both of those cases are killing both the iframe and the UI. I have to get around to using totally different domain on the iframe to really take advantage of the Chrome process isolation.

>You have equal access to the same infrastructure. Feel free to start a trillion dollar company.

And this is such a lazy cop-out that ignores that Bezos had parents who funded his company (to the tune of half a million in today's money) during a time where he was in the right place at the right time. It insane how ignorant people are to how much luck in one's situation plays into their success. I'm not saying he isn't a talented businessman, but that alone is never enough to reach his level of success.
People make an account, and when there are enough people in that area and in that industry to make it feasible to do a union vote, you get a notification and can organize a vote quickly so that there's less time for anti-union propaganda to go out.
> pay his employees more

Doesn’t Amazon pay highest in its industry? I suppose people always want more, but it seems like they are already among the best.

Of course pay varies by location and what’s good in one state is good in another. But it seems the average warehouse worker pay is $12.61 [0] with states ranging from $9.66 for North Carolina (holy cow) to $14.84 in Washington [1].

Amazon pays $16/hour [2] so that’s quite a big higher than the average and even the highest state.

So it seems like an odd complaint, “the company with the highest pay should pay even more.” And would be more appropriate if they paid crap wages.

Warehouse worker isn’t the easiest job, but I’m not sure how a warehouse worker job for Amazon is harder than other employers.

It's not special, except that for whatever reason people insist on treating random data as gospel.

How long until we cure retinoblastoma? Everyone understands there is no way to produce a meaningful timeline. There are too many inter-related unknowns - various causes, various treatment modalities, varying funding on various fundamental and applied research, no real idea if the final answer is gene therapy, nano-something, chemo, etc.

I used to develop software for a defense contractor, and it was pretty waterfall-y. But we built risks in, to an extent. Not by multiplying Sally by 1.3x, Joe by 2.7x or whatever, but you'd chart it all out, showing interconnections (x depends on Y, which depends on Z and Q, which...). And then roughly figure out risks of each of those sub-tasks going long.

The idea NOT being you then just multiply by a weight, and ta-da, you have an accurate schedule. The idea is that you have now identified particularly risky chain of events, and now you at least have a chance of managing risk. Every day/week you'd have a risk assessment meeting. Where are we on X, Y, Z. What can we do to get X back on track? Can't, okay, can we we-jigger the dependencies, or is this a hard slip? And so on. I've never seen this done on the commercial side, and it just seems like people are flying blind as a result.

"Waterfall is terrible" you reply. Sure. But when you are building an airplane, ya kinda need the 1553B/ARINC bus installed before you install and test the avionics. You can't attach the engines if the wings haven't shown up. You can't redesign the fuselage after the wing builder started building the wings (in general). These are hard, unavoidable dependencies, and changes are often extremely to destructively expensive (hence the endless mind numbing meetings arguing about change control).

It is just (IMO) not an unsolved problem, but unsolvable. Too many unknowns results in unpredictability. Your only bet is to manage the risks, adjust as necessary, and accept some things are just unknowable. Agile does that in one way, sophisticated waterfall in another.

You said that it's a waste of time to argue what IQ score qualifies as "Idiot". There is a clear and concrete answer to that question, because the word "idiot" has a medical definition. Yes, you were correct in your statement that it's a waste of time to argue, but not for the reason you state: There is a clear and correct answer. (at least) one person involved in such an argument will be empirically incorrect.

>arguing the "prescriptive" versus "descriptive" models of language is trite

Then I'd suggest that in future you should avoid starting arguments about it.

>If you want to argue facts, just don't use pejoratives and insults.

As I have repeatedly pointed out, I don't accept it as an insult in this case. It is merely a fact, empirically correct. The audacity maintainers are scumbags (and to be clear, I mean all of them, not just the guy who blocked me, not just the muse employees: anybody who hasn't left the project, as they're all complicit in this behaviour).

Unless someone can give me the differing ethical viewpoint that I have repeatedly solicited to the point of tedium, you can't sensibly argue otherwise.

If this has any impact on the visibility/recommendation/moderation of posts this will further entrench the echo chambers on Twitter.

It might cut down on harrassment, but outside of bigger accounts "ratio-ing" each other on twitter it's just going to mean that accounts will consolidate further into their ideology.

Given the left wing bias as far as sheer volume on Twitter goes, depending on how "viral" that aspect is, we could see it also becoming an even more hostile place for anything outside of that viewpoint.

> I think part of the shade throwing is k8s has a high lower bound of scale/complexity "entry fee" where is actually makes sense. If your scale/complexity envelope is below that lower bound, you're fighting k8s, wasting time, or wasting resources.

Maybe compared to Heroku or similar, but compared to a world where you're managing more than a couple of VMs I think Kubernetes becomes compelling quickly. Specifically, when people think about VMs they seem to forget all of the stuff that goes into getting VMs working which largely comes with cloud-provider managed Kubernetes (especially if you install a couple of handy operators like cert-manager and external-dns): instance profiles, AMIs, auto-scaling groups, key management, cert management, DNS records, init scripts, infra as code, ssh configuration, log exfiltration, monitoring, process management, etc. And then there's training new employees to understand your bespoke system versus hiring employees who know Kubernetes or training them with the ample training material. Similarly, when you have a problem with your bespoke system, how much work will it be to Google it versus a standard Kubernetes error?

Also, Kubernetes is really new and it is getting better at a rapid pace, so when you're making the "Kubernetes vs X" calculation, consider the trend: where will each technology be in a few years. Consider how little work you would have to do to get the benefits from Kubernetes vs building those improvements yourself on your bespoke system.
Totally get your point! But I worry the industry is becoming bloated with people who can glue a few frameworks together building systems we depend on. I wish there was more of a focus on teaching and/or learning fundermentals than frameworks.

Regarding your points, I actually would expect a non-junior developer to be able to write a libary in their main language and understand the basics of OS internals (to the point of debugging and profilling, which would include troubleshooting *nix processes). I don't expect them to know assembly or C, or be able to write a compiler (although I did get this for a take-home test just last week).
I briefly worked with the FAA on their certification system and it’s surprisingly optimized for mass production. Which should be obvious as many aircraft components are needed in massive quantities even if the total number of commercial aircraft are quite limited. Aka the number of turbine blades is larger than the number of engines which is larger than the number of aircraft.

Unfortunately, this hits GA harder as they have vastly fewer components to worry about and small production runs are discouraged. That said, assuming flying cars are going to come from or limited to the US seems unlikely so the EASA also has a significant role.
I don't think you're missing anything - the sense I get is that it's primarily a knee-jerk political response. I suspect people like to take cynical negative views of things because it's both easy and a common method of trying to signal wise-ness, rarely is it applied consistently though. Bezos is just extremely visible and people take the positive space stuff as an excuse to 'well, actually' be 'contrarian' and negative. Irony though is this seems to be the mostly conventional political position anyway.

On the specific tax stuff, you can borrow against holdings and then pass them on when you die (I think people that inherit it get the cost basis 'stepped-up' to whatever level they get it at). This means some of that tax value on gains isn't collected.

It's all tied up in unrealized gains for the most part and since it's typically associated with massive non-zero-sum wealth creation - I'm not sure why it matters.

If people want to go after inheritance rather than taking wealth from people that actually created it, I suspect there would be a lot more support.

Because they do nothing to make it hard to add a coupling or break modularity.

You should of course use good discipline to ensure that doesn't happen. Compared to mutli-repo it is a lot easier to violate coupling and modularity and not be detected. Anyone who is using a monorepo needs to be aware of this downside and deal with it. There are other downsides of multi-repo, and those dealing with them need to be aware of those and mitigate them. There is no perfect answer, just compromises.
Oddly enough, Budgets seem to work, since I've gotten alerted to runaway services fast enough (I set it at 80% of my previously-free monthly AWS credits) to be able to log in and fix them, or shut them down.

Basically, once you're this rich, you can take hundreds of millions or billions of dollars worth of loans to cover anything you'd like to spend.

$12k for the airframe. Each engine (4x) is another $8k. I wouldn't be surprised if the out-the-door cost of the airframe, engines, avionics and controls surpasses $50k.
> mag cap is moot

The kid in CT that murdered his own mother, stole her guns and killed all the students was dropping half-full mags and reloading. IIRC, law enforcement interpreted this behavior as mirroring his FPS “training”. That would seem to indicate capacity didn’t matter as much as simply having a detachable mag. The guy that shot up that Batman theater in CO or wherever brought in a 50 or 100 rnd drum mag (IIRC) and had it jam on him (as they do).
Would you say republicanism/democracy are immoral due to the slavery of pre-Civil War America?

That is the equivalent of what you are doing. You are blaming a theory of government for the crimes of a specific implementation of that theory. Genocide is not a central tenant of either fascism or communism anymore than slavery is a central tenant of republicanism, democracy, or capitalism. Fascism and communism are more authoritarian than other forms of government so they are both more attractive for people who seek totalitarian power, but that doesn't mean they are synonymous with the crimes of those totalitarians.

If Jones identified as a Stalinist, Maoist, or something similar I would definitely consider that more worrying as that is more similar to someone considering themselves a Nazi. Identifying as a general

Is the dredging process stripping a great degree of archaeological context from the items, or has being under the sea for so long already scrambled them up to a degree that we aren't losing all that much information by bringing them up in this way?

I get the impression that modern archaeology tends to emphasize viewing a site holistically and painstakingly recording as many details as possible, to the extent that some sites are just left alone rather than risk an imperfect or destructive excavation, so I'm curious whether anyone in the field is upset that these artifacts are surfacing as a byproduct of an unrelated civic project that isn't even trying to adhere to those standards.

> Turboprop engines are most efficient at speeds between 250
and 400 mph and altitudes between 18,000 and 30,000 feet

Ignoring the detail that your source is talking about turboprop (so, turbine engine with a big fan attached) and not a small piston engine, that's still not low altitude. That's class A airspace!

Even in a piston aircraft, you have to adjust your mixture as you climb, right? You have to add _less_ fuel per unit of air. And there's still all the drag from the aircraft itself, it's not just about propellers.

Sure, I doubt this drone would have a turbocharger, so performance (or rather, horsepower) is expected to drop above 10000ft. But not efficiency.
yes several of the big benefits are: the people who run borg (and the ecosystem) are well run (for the most part). And, the ability to find them in chat and get them to fix things for you (or explain some sharp edge).
