Except Voltec was also able to run the ICE at its most efficient setting by switching to Serial hybrid mode, where it was acting like the e-Power mode.

Voltec was using clutches to let you run like either the e-Power example or the Prius example on the fly, or even somewhere in between with the 2nd generation depending on power demands: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2015/02/secrets-of-the-2016-che...

Who's "we?" Africans are the most human human. Europeans are an admixure with Neanderthals. East Asians are admixures of Denisovans (twice).

My bet is that Neanderthals got absorbed, out-competed, swindled, out-procreated, and out-politiced by h. s. sapiens. Maybe they became a marginalized group within h. s. sapiens tribes (like Roma in modern Europe) that were shunned, banished, or held in low status, and so tapered to zero.
My point is that it's already automated. Those things I mentioned are already not hand-to-hand combat and don't have human soldiers risking their lives. So however scary some new automated weapon is, it should be no worse than existing automated weapons. What makes a robot soldier worse than a cruise missile or land mines or a bomber aircraft or a remote piloted drone? All those things can already be used by technologically superior enemies without incurring casualties themselves.

You mention attacks against a technologically advanced power (does an "enemy" become a "power" when it's a friend?), but obviously those powers will find ways to defend against them. Maybe it's just in the form of slightly more advanced "washing machines".

This fear thinking seems to come from assuming no secondary advancements occur. Suddenly robot soldiers are cheaply available and nobody develops any defense against them, either political or technological.
My complaint is more that they're willing to "deface" their website with a dark pattern like that.

Is it legal to force this before the vaccines are officially approved by the FDA? Or rather, will we see an eventual legal battle about this?
I don't think that's necessarily the case, but it's a damn good point; I'd posit that a number of advancements of modern systems could be retroactively applied to a much less sophisticated "base" system and still maintain reliability, because they're born out of increasingly sophisticated programming practices that are widely established at this point (unit testing, fuzzing, even formal methods).

I'm no longer sold on "added functionality" though. I want my computers to be dumber, do less, and be fully owned; I want a 32-bit Z80 (or something like it) that runs at 400MHz on an FPGA, and a graphics subsystem that's primitive and easy to understand and work on. It won't play Crysis - fine. But DOOM, sure! (There is a killer project about a multi-Z80-core CPU implemented on an FPGA, I'll find a link to the project later)

It seems like we made this deal that we get more and more functionality, and it's set us up so that computing could be taken away from us (walled gardens, the modern internet, telemetry, software that requires subscriptions, updates you don't control, etc etc).

But you've brought up an interesting point that I'll need to consider deeply about reliability and its effect on system complexity.

A whole lot of people's newfound official freedom to smoke the stinkiest pot and have the smoke travel through the vents to neighboring apartments does negatively affect very young children and elderly in apartment buildings.

Yet, here we are. Clearly, some negative effects on some people's safety and welfare are not considered as important -- oftentimes by the same people who are really adamant about making everyone else comply with their demands.

An attempt would probably destroy multiple developing worlds economies.

It's probably possible for a developed country with strong borders and checks like NZ but borders mostly are very leaky and ... Problematic. NZ will have to vaccinate enough and then live with it being part of life if it wants to open up to the world.
I worked for AWS, specifically on a backend component specific to EC2 Classic, until late last year, and this will definitely simplify things on Amazon's end. There were, as of last year, still some large customers using Classic. It's not just a drop in the bucket compared to VPC, though definitely quite a bit smaller.
Maybe if the article was right here instead of a click away, more people would read it.
IPv6-only VPC with dual-stack load balancers seems like it would be a great architecture if cloud providers would dot all the i's to make it happen.

> you have the authority to decide only to the point of electing politicians that push what you consider to be the right thing. This takes time.

Funny, a few posts ago you were talking about moral authority. Oh how the goal posts move!

Also, as a society we’ve already decided to use our legal authority to incentivize EVs, that’s what Toyota is whining about! They have lost both the political and the social (“hearts and minds”) argument, and are trying to use bribes to get their way again.

> How would you feel if you would personally be targeted in an effort to reduce global warming?

Drawing a parallel between a person being “targeted” (loaded word) and a corporation making the wrong decisions is extremely weird.

Toyota was not targeted, they failed to take advantage of the incentives available to them. Ford, Hyundai, VW, Porsche, and Tesla all took advantage of the programs available to them, Toyota did not. That’s less “targeted” and more “made a mistake”.

> That EV you dream of as stopping global warming may overall be responsible for more CO2 emission that my “normal” car depending on how the power you use has been generated.

This is actually oil industry propaganda, good to see that it still has legs.

EPA estimates show that an EV is marginally cleaner than a gasoline car for a pure coal powered grid for total emissions. Of course you have to live in West Virginia before “100% coal power” is anywhere close to an accurate approximation of what your power grid looks like.

Also, it’s not a stretch to say that Toyota’s fuel cells are powered by oil. The primary source of commercial Hydrogen is from natural gas.
The old definition of biological species was exactly that animals of the same species are able to breed and get fertile offspring.

So I suppose they made a point, by definition, by doing so.

I thought you meant 9/11 when you said 911. But having watched half of it now I am a bit confused, and I thought maybe your comment meant that it was about 911 as in emergency response, since they have a real life fireman talking in the middle. But so I went back to your comment and I think my initial understanding of what you meant is what you said. I’ll watch the rest and see. But I guess maybe being a kids show they are tackling the same subjects in a gentle manner.
SimpleDB is still supported though. You can still make new SimpleDB domains.

Thats part of what people love about AWS compared to Google Cloud. Google is quick to kill off services it finds no longer convenient for it to run. AWS has historically gone out of its way to keep old services running even as it releases new, better alternatives.

> since typing in passwords is tedious

i think passphrases are better for any situation where you might be typing them in multiple times a day.

since you can use all lowercase letters, it makes it much quicker than having to press the shift key for capitals or symbols, and you can make up for the lack of those characters by using a longer words/passphrase

https://www.useapassphrase.com

on top of that i usually spend a bit of time choosing words that are quicker to type. like words that have letters that alternative between each hand seem to be quicker than typing a word that's only on one side of the keyboard. avoiding words that have double letters for the same reason. making sure the end of one word and the start of the next are typed with different hands. choosing words where most of the letters go in the direction of your pinky to your index finger if possible

There is still a moratorium on evictions in many areas so you literally can’t sell a rental home. Then there is mortgage forbearance, meaning many people have paused or delayed payments allowing them to stay in the home longer and with less money. This means there is almost no foreclosure market. On top of that there are still unemployment payments and other various business credits or programs keeping people from going broke or failing to meet non-home obligations so they can focus on home payments. Obviously interest rates are all time lows, allowing people who refinanced to now afford payments as well where they might not have before. Once these government programs all end and interest rates rise we will see supply become available again. Prices won’t go down but they will at least stall again.

Genetically and physically yes, you would be way closer to a H. Sapien from the other side of the world than you would be to a Neanderthal who lived a cave over.

Perhaps culturally a geographically close Neanderthal would be easier to relate with than a more distant modern human, but that's pure speculation.

> I understand Heinlein is a culturally important figure in Science Fiction, but he should not be one of our heroes.

The man was born in 1907. That is so long ago that he was discharged from the Navy because he caught Tuberculosis in the days before antibiotics were developed.

Of course people raised that long ago were taught things that we find ridiculous today.

Casting off those sorts of cultural prejudices and thinking for yourself became a theme in his later works.
Nah, people falls somewhere on the adhd spectrum and people further in on that will have a harder time focusing when a big thing is coming up. That isn't a skill you train, but a thing you are born with. You can make it look like you are less distracted, and it isn't like managers notice your productivity, but you can't really be less distracted.

You can however practice a specific thing so it no longer feels like a big deal. If you have gone to a thousand meetings then having another one wont be distracting. But most software engineers don't do enough management work to get over that hurdle.
I love this idea, but I sincerely doubt it.
It's worth calling out that the TechEmpower benchmarks have been flawed as long as they've had Erlang/Elixir on them. People keep submitting changes and they keep refusing to implement them.
The person who knows the change and thinks that it shouldn't have changed anything is probably in the best position to figure out why it broke something after all.

Probably refactoring according to a pattern, and missed something. Still, the person with context gets the bug.

Crisco?

I don't agree with the claim that simply cooking fatty food results in a seasoned pan. Nor does oiling it before putting it away - that just deters rust.

I don't know what mixture of oils they're using at the moment in Crisco, but I doubt any of the ingredients is a drying oil. Drying oils polymerise readily when exposed to air, and especially when heated. Linseed oil is the most-prominent example. If you smear linseed oil on wood, it will harden into a tough finish in a few days.

Flax seed oil was mentioned up-thread; that's the same stuff, but food-grade.

If you have to season from scratch, invest in some flax oil, apply VERY thinly, and bake for an hour, then cool. Repeat 5 times.

If you need to strip it, caustic soda does a pretty thorough job.
Neanderthals, denisovans, homo erectus, etc. were likely just members of the shared human species together with surviving homo sapiens.

You could say they were separate subspecies, but it's not clear that such a designation is reasonable without likewise considering various groups of bushmen and pygmies (e.g. khoi, san, hadza, mbuti) separate subspecies from each other and from the rest of humans as well.
That's probably true. Forgive my enthusiasm. I have no dog in the fight.
you beat me to submitting the ec2 classic post. but only fitting that it come from you :)
How would that even work? The IPv4 address fields are 32-bits. If you extend them, you have a new protocol, just like IPv6. There could've been some parallel efforts (like opening up the 240/4 former class-E space for assignment), but that would just be a short term patch.

IPv6 has been available for over 20 years. This is way longer than IPv4 was available when the Internet went "mainstream" in the mid-90's. ISPs need to get their ass in gear.
How do you even pay for IPv4? You should just be able to advertise BGP routes to whatever you want.
Tiger Global: the technology investor ruffling Silicon Valley feathers
This is so true. I picked up a "ruined" cast iron griddle for free at a garage sale and used a surface grinder on it to get back to the metal, re-seasoned it, and now its the camping griddle.

Heinlein wrote a book in favor of polyamory ("Stranger in a Strange Land") and was strongly opposed to religion and theology [0]. I doubt he'd be at home with today's evangelical Christians.

For what it's worth, Soviet intelligence did infiltrate large parts of American society during the Cold War [1]. This historical fact is often obscured by accounts of McCarthyism and the Red Scare. While McCarthy was a liar and an alcoholic with little to no knowledge of actual Soviet spy networks, the networks did in fact exist.

> SAY NO TO URGENT ONE-OFF REQUESTS FROM MANAGEMENT!!!

The thing is, saying no to requests from management (if it is your management of course) is going to hurt your career prospects too. Instead you should say "sure, but this thing will move the completion date of this hard and extremely important project X days, is it ok with you?" (Not having any hard and important project in the works? Fix that ASAP as the article suggests). Then ideally you reach some kind of compromise (sometimes these requests are urgent and you are the best person to handle them). If instead they say "no, I want you to do this urgent thing and complete your other projects on time, here is a nice weekend that you can use", then it is time to look for a new job.
