It will be several decades before the vast majority of vehicles on the road are EVs. Even if all new vehicles sold were EVs starting tomorrow, the cars currently out there would account for the majority of road vehicles for at least another decade-and-a-half. There's plenty of time to recoup investment on a gas station.

Besides, most money for a "gas station" is made from the convenience store. Like you said, gas profits are slim. They make some money, but their primary purpose is to drive customers to the convenience store. When the tides do change, they'll probably just gradually swap out pumps for chargers and continue business as usual.
It's not just that tech can't bring much value to these industries, it's that the legacy players in the industries are openly resistant to innovation via tech. (They say they're not, but the best engineers often leave big corporations due to the stifling bureaucracies and the insane management practices.)

At the last large organization I worked for, I spent two years trying to convince managers responsible for a critical-path item database to upgrade their tech stack. They had me work on tons of downstream problems, every single one of which was a direct consequence of "the data in the database is incorrect". They refused to fix their tech stack, pay more for good programmers, change their approach to DB management, etc., so I left.
I would consider finding a journalist that is interested in the story. You should consider which journalist carefully, the wrong one might cause more damage. If the story gets enough attention, it might make Google pay attention. Good luck.
In the name of connecting the dots Google's algorithm is eagerly connecting anything to anything in order to generate some output. This is interesting for a prof of concept but to rush this to production half baked is not a very smart thing to do.
> Talk to any police or first responder, they have training to cover this.

That has no bearing on how common these types of collisions are. The original issue is whether Teslas are more likely to crash into a parked emergency vehicle than a human.

The training has a better explanation: while "number of collisions per mile driven" is vanishingly small, "percentage of law-enforcement deaths as a result of collisions" is very high. Out of the ~1,200 LEOs killed between 2000 and 2008, about half were due to collisions[1].

That alone tells you how such collisions can be rare, but still a top-of-mind issue for law enforcement.

Maybe the laws need to be updated. Nobody anticipated remote work when the laws on visas/green cards were written. It seems like an exploit that you don't need any to work for an American company potentially taking the spot of an American worker. American taxes aren't even withheld in this case apparently.

Still in Europe, just not in the EU.
So in 15 years from now someone living in a town in America will notice he can't find a gas station near him. So he will hop over to the next place for fuel.
This is just another example of how out-of-touch rich CA liberals are with the rest of the world. Allows them to feel morally superior and makes everything in their town more expensive (which they want anyway).
I think if you read lowtechmag much it's fairly clear they are true believers and probably have done a fair amount of washing clothes the hard way. They aren't simply armchair philosophers.

I've tried that too. But I work from home and not having the ability to use Banking apps on AOSP without a ton of patching and hacks that could fail anytime afterwards is an issue. Also the camera performance on AOSP is noticeably worse in my experience, and I'm not alone.

To make AOSP "usable" for my life, I need to install the Play Store. At which point I've already lost and would prefer an iPhone for my privacy.
I recently bought a Thinkpad T460p with 32GB RAM and run Debian on it. I use an iPhone because that seems to be the only kind of phone where I can expect security patches for more than two years.

The US has higher cost of living if you factor in the many externalities like lack of usable public transit, mass shootings, the opioid epidemic on the streets, and many other US disasters impacting the cost of getting an equivalent quality of life.
> Please remember that there are designated items onboard that may be used in difficult situations, and alternative measures such as tape should never be used.”

I'd be curious what these are, and why the instinct is to use tape instead of them. Stun guns? Rope? A strongly worded letter?
Gazelle.
Just walk me through this: Did the gas stations all catch Covid and die?

What is the correlation between pandemic related gas shortages and a need for more fuel pumps (vs. more of the fuel to be delivered to the pumps because of pandemic related supply chain issues)?

Also, where are these constant waiting lines currently happening? I'm personally in NJ, an extremely densely populated state, and haven't seen anything other than the normal rush hour "4 pumps, 6 cars" type of lines. The larger filling stations (6+ pumps) almost never have more cars than pumps at any time I've driven past.
Duct tape is a bad look… but if it gets to the point where it seems necessary, I don’t see why not.

Shameless plug - this was my own work (done as a 20% time project) kindly submitted by my wife.

Since it was a pro-bono project, it was hard to make it perfect but its a work in progress and i'll continue to make it better. I'd love any feedback so I can make it better.

There are numerous directions I can take the project, and since its not for a paying client, I have a lot of leeway to shift directions based on community feedback. Feel free to leave comments here or DM me if you wish.

Specific areas for feedback:

- Are commercial flights the best "network" to use? Alternatives?

- Are there good studies on the most impactful rubric for donations (deaths? cases? poverty? population density?)
It's not just software, other engineering fields are similar - same with fields like medicine.
When it comes to city planning, changes aren't made unless there's already a trend. A town isn't going to just decide out of the blue to ban new gas station construction unless there was already a trend away from ICE vehicles.

Most companies offer pretty good health insurance immediately.

Usually there are options like Kaiser in CA that are all inclusive similar to what you’d see in Europe. Some offer cheaper options. Some offer options that include health savings contributions from the employer to offset high deductibles.
I'm certain the colloquial use will remain, but "doesn't require a driver" should really be the one to get it's own name. Fully Autonomous Vehicle or Driverless Autonomous Vehicle.

"Self-driving car" is just woefully inadequate to describe the capabilities it encompasses. A century old Model T with a brick on the accelerator could be accurately described as a "self-driving car". It's not very good at driving, but neither are drunk people and we still say that they're driving.

Likewise, I would argue that a car that can maintain speed and steer itself to stay in it's lane is conceptually closer to a "self-driving car" than it is a "fully manual car".

> Cars shouldn't be allowed to be marketed self-driving, or autonomous, etc., until a driver isn't required.

That's going to be a licensing thing. Frankly it probably is time for the government to step in and create some kind of licensing for cars that indicates they're fully autonomous. Even if they aren't going to issue any at the moment, it would be good to set the direction that only cars with whatever government seal are actually able to operate without a driver. Then it'd be a little harder for companies to play word games.
sine is a real-valued function

There is a computable version for computable inputs, ie., we ask "what is sin(x)?" for some computable-number x_computable.

But there is no computable version for a non-computable real number, x_real.

Not sure about SF arrogance but the whole “Your job is going to get outsourced to India don’t get into IT/Software Dev” thing has been around since the 90s. It’s 20 years later and the job market is better than ever, salaries are better than ever, and a lot of companies who fully embraced the IT outsourcing trend are realizing it actually hurt them in the long run. Short term it helped but now they have lost their market place edge they once had. Also worked with a company who outsourced all their call centers to Eastern Europe from Scotland and other Northern European countries, their customers hated it.

Not against outsourcing it’s gotta be a mixed bag. You’ll be extremely slow if you have to wait until tomorrow to get any answers.
No. Because, as documented in the published material, hits are also reviewed by humans.
Which Europe? Every country has a rather specific profile when it comes to the prevalent kind of IT employment. In the UK and in the Netherlands there could be opportunities on par with SV, in Germany it's mostly IT departments of non-IT companies as well as mostly unimaginative EU-funded startups, in Eastern Europe (Poland, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria) it's a mixed bag between US/EU outsourcing, big multinationals and small local product companies.
Well salaries also ignore health insurance, unemployment benefits, pensions etc. which artificially inflate the difference between the US and Europe. Also other things like childcare and schooling. I mean just the difference between what one has to pay for childcare per year can amount to several $10k and then there is college. So these calculations are definitely not so straight forward.
IntelliJ includes a Swing builder (and is itself written with Swing).

The product that I miss for little SMB projects is Access. It was the best option for building single-user CRUD apps with a really thoughtful bundle of features. (It totally fell over with multi-user, and every user needed a license for the runtime (with some exceptions) and VBA had some major warts, but in terms of DX it was great)
Is the CSAM an issue for macOS? That would be my only concern since I do not own an iPhone.

Honestly, as much as I go to extreme lengths to limit invasions of my privacy, short of going full Stallman, it would take a lot for me to chuck my M1 MacBook Air. I know people say they have a non-Apple laptop that is as good, but that has not been my experience. Every PC laptop I have owned has ended up being a pile of crap for one reason or another. Usually the hardware is flimsy, plastic gets warped and scratched, it gets slower over time, etc. I have never had such experiences with the Macbooks I have owned other than my keyboard giving out on my 2015 MBP a few months ago. This is coming from a former hardcore Linux user who used to look down on people with Macs.

(that said, I would love recommendations on comparable laptops for the day that may come where I ditch Apple)

I really hope that I can prevent or block CSAM on my current Macbook if it's being adopted on macOS.

Nice to see another lawyer as well! I only counted two people back in my old firm (out of 1,000 lawyers there) who are from a STEM degree and knows some coding. We are definitely a rare breed but in a nice way.

Right now, I am building a simple social media website for home decor and designs just to test myself on using frontend and backend technologies. Then on the side, I am creating small projects with ideas being inspired from the legal field. I have just started on making a lightweight timesheet app so ordinary people or programmers can record their time worked (just like how lawyers mark their time spent on client’s matter) to produce a timesheet report for their clients.

Only hurdle I have is in the aesthetics, as I am OK with building the core functions of an app, but designs wise, the bit that are client/customer facing would require some work - or I could just hire someone to build some nice looking assets for me to use.

Apparently, a typical EV battery contains 0.13kg cobalt per kwh. That's 13kg cobalt in a 100kwh battery.

Over ten years, I might drive 100,000 miles, using 12,500 litres of petrol. That's 13g cobalt, in the form of sulphur-removing catalyst.

Very obviously, widespread adoption of EVs is going to cause a tremendous increase in the demand for cobalt.

You don't do EV advocacy a favour when you try to distract from these things.
There could be protectionist duties. These are sometimes justified due to the cost of loosing jobs. A trade-off.

I'm just not sure of relevance of the cost of asian versus african shirts in the U.S. It's not just shipping containers, but the rest of the transport network, how many trucks are available, the retail networks, and the middle-men to facilitate the trade, the different labor and cost of living, currency exchange rates, regulatory stability, etc.

Seems like there are a lot of confounding variables and it would be difficult to draw on what t-shirts currently cost in the U.S.
Detection is overstating things, current RADAR systems don’t have much in the way of resolution. So a manhole and an object in the road can be effectively indistinguishable in the raw sensor data.

RADAR systems are rapidly improving, but there’s a reason everyone shows Lidar data over RADAR.

> you go to FAANG or one of the numerous startups. In Europe, you go where?

* In startups.

* In FAANG offices (they have offices in Europe).

* In other software development companies which are neither of the above, but are still numerous in Europe.

To say Software development in Europe is mostly internal enterprise software development is blatantly wrong. I'm in no way saying the job market and domain topology is the same, because it definitely isn't, but this is an incredibly inaccurate take about the software market in Europe.
(1) That’s from 2018. (2) It does not say what you say it says. It does not state how much energy was “used”. The laser is about 1% efficient. (3) That 80%, which is the number that goes with this recent news, has nothing to do with the “energy input”. It is 80% of the energy that their models say was absorbed by the hohlraum. These are part of where my couple of orders of magnitude remark comes from.

It’s pretty much a staple item in Corporate Japan, which probably explains why Panasonic hasn’t offshored production as everyone else did.

I think it’d be great to see more overseas business pick up for these computers — it’s one of those classic bits of Japanese technology that looks hopelessly outdated until you use it, and then you hope it never changes. My label for such things is “In-N-Out Burger Technology,” for reasons that should be obvious to my fellow Californians...
One thing about this is that we are farther and farther away from "if there is evidence for a crime a jury can understand it and rationally decide what do with it" and we are getting closer to "if this lightbulb is glowing the machine says they are guilty, so better trust us".

This kind of stuff should not be evidence, if anything it should be a indicator where to look.

None. I am hoping that someone attacks me with a few dozen grayscale perceptual hash collisions so I can save them on my device, to iCloud, and hope it slips by Apple's checkers. And NCMEC's checkers, etc. Because I too want to retire as a king, and losing a few friends who can't really wrap their heads around a gray image attack ... well, no biggy, I'm kind of a loner to begin with.

Just because someone could force you to do something you don't want to do is not really a major concern if you choose, preemptively, to do the thing. The concerning part here is Apple signalling that they have executives that don't see phone scanning as a problem. That is a major black eye for their branding.

I live in the rust belt. No one is buying those 30k homes. Why? They're unmaintained, falling apart, need completely rewired, completely new plumbing. The housing stock in the rust belt is OLD. This is what makes prices "so cheap" to you lot looking in from the coasts.

But the reality is no one is buying the discount properties that need major work. They're in run down neighborhoods with vacancies everywhere and sit on the market for months. They're almost unsellable - many are held onto with the hope that a neighborhood will get gentrified. Cities like Detroit and Cleveland see Pittsburgh's resurgence and think that will happen there. But for every expensive Pittsburgh neighborhood there's a Clairton and McKeesport.

Random idea which probably doesn't work.

Let somebody create a pseudo realistic drawing of a imaginary person which is "not you" and try to make Google use that. The not the drawing looks like it could be a photo with a filter the better.

I have no idea if this will work, and it's not right that such a think might be needed but the idea is " if Google wants a picture give it a picture (of a person which doesn't exist)".
I make 55k per year and pocket about 41k, 14k goes to taxes.

To be fair I'm a 26uy old sysadmin, but my understanding of the US is that this would be low tier, whereas in Sweden this is quite great, specially considering my age. I get 5 paid weeks, 2 or 3 unpaid. Considering our free healthcare is shit unless you're about to die or get rendered useless I'd say there's a difference.

I do understand why though, American IT companies automatically have a reach of 350M people without a fuzz, the biggest you can go in Europe (in one country) is 80m speaking the same language.

What I mean is, an American developers code is more likely to be used by more people, generating more profit, driving wages up.

We need to regulate English proficiency in the EU (as in school wise or get fined a couple billions) to be able to get to the level you're already at.

EDIT: my employer effectively pays 77k for me with the "employers tax" too, so 77-41=36 almost 50% is taxed away, so that skews the numbers a bit more.

Lazarus is rather cool but even after you learn Pascal (which is rather alien to modern programming) the built-in not-so-smart code editor feels somewhat painful to use after VisualStudio and IntelliJ. These 2 entry barriers make it feel overly vintage and demotivate from using it.

As for Electron - the idea of learning the web front-end stack and designing UIs from scratch (rather than composing them from common controls), just to produce insanely heavyweight executables compatible with a limited set of platforms (e.g. Lazarus is much more cross-platform, it can even run on Haiku) doesn't sound inspirational at all.
That sounds... Awesome.
