So, assuming the same total number of vehicles is sold and used, then the mix of p% full EVs + (100 - p)% ICE vehicles can be better than the entirely hybrid fleet when

80 p + 250 (1 - p) < 180

170 p > 70

p > 7/17 ≈ 41%

So 1 EV and 1.5 ICE are roughly equal to 2.5 hybrids. And anything more is an improvement.

"This would apply even if the case were brought due to the company’s own acts of negligence, fraud or malice."

There's an extension for Zotero that allows you to just click and save. What Zotero does in addition to creating a snapshot of the page is generating a reference entry in the user's Zotero library. If you have a good way to catalog and search all the web pages you've saved, then maybe Zotero doesn't gain you all that much. Personally, I find the search capabilities in the app sufficient. You can also export your Zotero DB to any number of formats and throw it into your favorite search tool. I export as bibtex and use pandoc to weave references into my writing.

The academic uses of Zotero lean heavily on the metadata schema is uses, which is tailored for research and publishing. Things like DOI, ISSN, metadata about the publication, etc, might not be terribly useful for anyone outside academia.

> However, most of those variants will have existed in both the human and neanderthal populations, so they should count neither as uniquely human nor neanderthal (known as Incomplete Lineage Sorting, or ILS)

This makes a hash of the headline "Thanks to interbreeding, just 7% of our DNA is unique to modern humans" -- this would be just as true if there had never been any interbreeding between "modern humans" and their various sister lineages.
> The vast majority of bad remote managers are bad because they’re plain bad managers.

1000x this. Much of the time, people in management were promoted there because they were complete shit at line / front of house / customer or client-facing work and someone up top didn't feel like firing them that day. After all, if you were good at line work, why would they promote you away from it?

It makes perfect sense that they'd be complete shit at managing teams, too -- remote or in-person.

I am sorry but that's a very inaccurate analogy on this topic. The Ruby VM, in particular MRI, is implemented in C. The Erlang VM is also implemented in C. A better C compiler can likely benefit them.

But what runs your Ruby code is the Ruby VM (or even the JVM). What runs Java and Clojure code is the JVM. And what runs Elixir code is the Erlang VM.

The relationship between Elixir and Erlang is much closer to, say, Rails and Ruby (i.e. Rails is built on Ruby's abstractions and semantics) than Ruby and C. It is not a good example but it makes much more sense than the analogy above.
Wouldn't you think there'd be numerous examples of such arbitrage in the wild if so?

I'd argue that the problem is more that incest is commonly abusive to the point where i'm not sure its possible to separate the theoretical non-abusive case out.

In any case, i'm a believer in free speech, i don't object to him writing on such a topic, im just unconvinced.

As far as thinking for oneself, not on the incest subject, but i agree about the author generally. starship troopers is a novel where i heartily disagree with what is espoused. However reading it forced me to really think about why i disagree and what i really believe instead and why. It really helped me examine my own beliefs, which made it a very positive reading experience.

I find it really useful for practice, but it's obviously not the best thing to be using solely if you think that's going to reach you to proficiency.

It's a fun way to kill like 15-20 minutes a day, it's probably the closest thing I waste my time on that's like a video game these days yet 100x more productive. I've got books for learning Russian and German to go through along with using Duolingo as a pretty good option for practicing basically everything else. It's fun to compare how I got Spanish down via immersion without really practicing too hard on anything outside of rosetta stone (Didn't teach me a damn thing, was a very bad tool back in the day)... Just reading a book from the 1950s (Madrigal's Magic Key to Spanish -- highly recommended) and sinking myself into that world for a while took so many years. I'm pretty sure I would have done better off with some better programs and proper study instead, but it definitely gave perspective to where tools like Duolingo have their place and where they're the most useful in pretty much giving you gameified drills and tests.

As someone who also started reading the comments in this thread, I can wholeheartedly second this.

Remember, nobody is going to change their mind on this issue because of a perfectly worded response in an internet discussion. If you want to change anyone's mind, focus on the people you can speak to in the real world—and have a conversation filled with love and respect. Fear of vaccination is a powerful meme which cannot be countered by deriding the people who are sincerely captured by it. Instead, I suggest you walk them through the statistics and place them into human terms and human context. Show them how to calculate risk of death. Show them how to calculate risk of long term injury.
Yeah, I figured it was worth a chance.

Fwiw, multiple companies mentioned they would also move to require vaccination once it’s no longer EUA. I should have included that in my original framing.

To me, that sounds more like “once the government gives us more cover, we’ll do it”. But that doesn’t tell me “who would be convinced after this milestone, but not with the current data? What changes?”.
I feel like I should chime in here. I love going out and partying. I love meeting new people face-to-face. Yet I strongly, strongly prefer working remote as opposed to going to an office. I do not need an office to supply me with human contact - I can go find human contact on my own. Indeed, I much prefer finding human contact on my own rather than at the office because at the office, I have to be careful and somewhat repressed if I do not want to endanger my job, whereas in many other social contexts I can be much freer and truer to myself.
The graph is of annual electricity generation, so it almost certainly is not included. Natural gas used for residential heating doesn't get converted to electricity, it just gets burned by the home's furnace. Only around a third of homes in the US use electricity for heating.

"hvordan regne prosent" shows 2 dk websites www.humanrebels.dk, and havfruen4220.dk as 9th and 10th results

could be since the OP clicked on these links to find out google made his personal algorithm show even more of this stuff

thus, I imagine a never ending cycle of even more spam could easily be generated, specially for an innocent user

> I believe this narrative is being funded by the commercial real spectate industry.

You're right.

Idea: I live out west, where there's not enough housing. I was walking by a now completely shuttered cluster of office buildings near me the other day and wondered two things. First, "wow, commercial real estate people must be sweating" and second, "why don't we rezone this all this stuff and turn it into apartments?"
This is pretty valid, but sometimes people with limited knowledge will do something seemingly innocuous like ask where the 'toilet' is rather than the more polite reference and totally freak a complete stranger out. I think it's not a bad idea to do your best to try and learn at least a little bit beyond this before dropping into a foreign country, at the least because it makes the whole meeting new friends thing a lot easier.
Google Sued in U.K. For Overcharging Millions of Users
It seems google has lost its ability to block spam effectively. Since a few months, I notice an increase amount of outright scam being promoted on YT. I even got a ad for a fake Musk telling people to invest in a shady bitcoin scheme. Knowing that Google is willing to let these slip through just to maximize their ad revenue is really a warning sign that this company, no matter how large it might be by now, should not be trusted anymore.
Sigh. Coffee contains so much more than just caffeine; chiefly, large amounts of monoamine oxidase inhibitors. These have effects on our brains, but they are rarely investigated in coffee studies.

The same applies for tobacco and nicotine — in fact, tobacco smoke contains large amounts of many of the same monoamine oxidase inhibitors found in coffee.

Except you won't be able to do that with Duolingo. I'll go as far as saying that Duolingo is (very) negative for learners: it sells them the idea they are learning a language and progressing when they are in fact not.

A good example of that is a comment I read here on HN from a user defending Duolingo since it allowed him to master hiragana (one script of Japanese) after two years and half. This is normally taking a week, for a slow learner, and the rest is practicing for fluency.

The drivers license proves that you won't be an unreasonable risk to other people commandeering a 4 ton death machine on the road.
I'm really upset with this decision. I have not gotten the vaccine as I prefer the known, extremely low risk of contacting COVID over the unknown longitudinal risk of the vaccine. My right to make these personal decisions regarding my bodily autonomy is extremely important to me. Under no circumstances will I yield that decision to my employer! Their demand only further reinforces my desire not to take the vaccine.

Which sucks, I like my job.
“ Giving up to authoritarianism just this once is not a useful precedent to set.”

The precedent is already set for things of far less value. Vaccine disclosure actually seems like one of the few things companies require I provide that is valuable for the workplace.

One thing I’ve noticed is the people I know that watched PBS as kids have a generally less cynical outlook on life than those that didn’t. It’s a weird, unscientific observation I’ve made but I think watching characters that are role models like Mr Rogers and aren’t paragons of stupidity like Ren and Stimpy or Spongebob might be part of the reason why.

Regardless, I’m thankful that I only watched PBS (and TV Land and History Channel).
For all that Google search has been utterly crap for going on a decade now, I have to admit part of the reason is that they get targetted relentlessly by SEO spam operations like this. I like DuckDuckGo for now, but I imagine as they get bigger they're going to be a target for these kinds of spam just the same.
OK, gotcha thanks for explaining. Just for my general knowledge is Erlang/Elixir apps also affected with memory bloat (I mean memory that grows and grows and never properly garbage collection) which seems to be improved for certain apps with jemalloc 3?

I disagree. Duolingo is not trash as the op suggests, it's a great fire starter and makes you able to use other materials by handling the intro well. Peppa Pig is a sustainable language learning tool if you did something before to learn the basics and Duolingo handles that part well for free. How is that trash?
Cultural context is difficult but it also can’t be learned unless you already have some language skills. It’s not helpful to expect 2nd language speakers never to make mistakes Like the foreign exchange student asking for a rubber instead of an eraser, those mistakes can be great learning points.
Then they simply may not sell it.

The potential liabilities are gigantic, and the risk calculation may put the equation under water.

It's the problem with a lot of medical products, particularly vaccines which are hard for pharma companies to market.

But it's made worse in regimes that are either litigious, have little in the way of caps over civil claims, or have Justice Systems which are compromised.

South Africa is a very corrupt state, it's just too easy for that system to act in a way that does not have integrity.

That's the real world risk/reward equation and it's unavoidable.

It's for similar reasons that it's a lot harder to raise financing for building infrastructure in SA (or anything else) than otherwise - the interest rates charged are considerably more as there's greater risk of failure, or problems, and even addressing commercial concerns becomes difficult if the justice system is compromised. For this reason, the loans to SA would have those risks 'priced in' at much higher interest rates ... which by the way is the other way pharma companies would normally give on the indemnity issue negotiation - by raising prices, but price becomes a problem for other ethical reasons.
I've been using it on a daily basis for 2 years now and when I switched to 'completely type the answer' instead of 'clicking on words', it made a big difference in learning.

I think a big factor in its usefulness depends on the user. If you make it hard for yourself, you will get much more out of it.
There Is No Good Reason You Should Have to Be a Citizen to Vote
1) Studies show that vaccinated don't stop the spread of the variants but still slow it down compared to the not vaccinated.
>In fact, it's possible that the currently vaccinated will be more susceptible to spread the new strains.
On what is that assumption based? The vaccination effect is based on normal antibodies of the immune system, so there is no big difference between vaccinated and recovered.

2) You are confusing infection with infection disease. You can be sure you will get infected by the corona virus but that doesn't mean you'll get COVID. If 22,000,000 people get the corona virus if with low IFR like 0.003 you get 660 deaths and that's only for people under 30.
Additionally you are ignoring the effect of the variants you are referencing in 1)
Young people are more likely to get sick by the variants and herd immunity is based on antibodies and therefore have the same problem as he vaccine based antibodies. A new variant could make them equally useless.

3) We don't know the long term effects by corona either.
In contrast to the vaccines, we have already found evidence of organ damage in the heart , lungs and kidneys with Corona, which may not disappear even in the long term.

The bottom line is that the risk without vaccination is much higher than with vaccination.
