I'm actually a little curious about how great the practical energy density would be in this case with a 2-stroke engine compared to a modern lithium ion battery and motor. 2 stroke engines are pretty famously inefficient, expelling quite a bit of unburned fuel.

That and I'd guess that the engine itself is pretty bulky compared to the electric motor, so the total bulk might even out compared to an electric setup for the same amount of energy, but I'd have to look at the actual numbers.
But where does it sleep at night? Where does it sleep on holidays? Near you? Or do you leave it home on a table, and the motion sensors say it’s on a table?
It would be quite interesting to see how these “tire contact” motors will perform once it starts raining or your tires get really dirty.

I think there is a reason, why crank or hub located motors are the norm now.
Anekdata doesn’t prove much here. Some things you might not be considering:

1. At 60 km/h you are going the speed of a car but car drivers don’t expect you to be going that fast and as a result aren’t wired to look for you. Doesn’t matter how fast you were going when a car going 60-90 km/h didn’t see you and ran you over.

2. Brakes are only half the equation. If your tires start slipping your brakes will lock up and then you go splat.

3. If you do happen to get off at 60 km/h you will have road rash that will take off large chunks of skin even if you wear an armored jacket and armored gloves. In spandex you’ll be looking like Deadpool pretty quickly.

4. Your tires will heat up pretty quickly at these speeds. That will affect how they handle quite a bit.
Who is going to put the time in to maintain it if the language is given by the implementation of the language? In the past, people wrote huge specs because you wanted multiple companies to implement compilers for their various computers. Now there's enough centralization that a single implementation of a language can exist. Why spend the time supporting 6 compilers when 99.99% of users will use the big 1 that the core language developers are working on? Labor is a finite resource, and because this requirement is gone the extra work that came with that requirement is discarded as well. If someone was willing to write up a full spec and maintain it for 10 years then I am sure it would be accepted to any open source language, but nobody decides to do that with their free time for some reason.
I am not sure what parts of my post you have issues with.

The White House claims to be an active participant and directing their attention to things to be removed. In case you missed that press conference, here's a transcript and video:

> QUESTION: Thanks, Jen. Can you talk a little bit more about this request for tech companies to be more aggressive in policing misinformation? Has the administration been in touch with any of these companies? And are there any actions that the federal government can take to ensure their cooperation? Because we've seen from the start, there's not a lot of action on some of these platforms.

> PSAKI: Sure. Well, first, we are in regular touch with the social media platforms, and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff, but also members of our COVID-19 Team.

> Quote continuing: Given as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue of misinformation specifically on the pandemic. In terms of actions, Alex, that we have taken or we're working to take, I should say, from the federal government, we've increased disinformation research and tracking. Within the Surgeon General's Office, we're flagging posts for Facebook that spread disinformation.

Unless you believe Psaki is lying which I hadn't considered.

Does it even matter when your location is also available from the mobile carriers? Best solution is if you value privacy is not to carry a phone on you.
“While it would have been nice to engineer some sort of spring-driven mechanism to control how forcefully the motor pushes against the tire, I kept things simple: I just deflated the tire somewhat, bolted the motor solidly in place, and reinflated the tire.”

I think Solex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VéloSoleX) did that better.

It uses the weight of the engine to press the powered wheel to the bicycle wheel, accounting for variation in wheel diameter due to tire pressure or tire wear. This could use the weight of the battery pack
I am a contractor who works for them, but have lots of friends working as direct employee. (Netherlands, software engineer mostly)

They pay you 12+1 salaries (1=you get half of your salary as bonus 2 times per year, as vacation bonus).

You get 40 days of vacation (Netherlands has 25 days of vacation standard, %99 of companies)so people are very relaxed.

ASML is able relocate you from another country, moving all your house (I think it was up to €5.000 costs). Bringing family etc. They show you around city, assign a guide to explore city, help for municipality stuff etc.

They also give a temporary (2months) accommodation until you find a place, or until they move your house.

They always hire because they are growing all the time.

They have people working since 20 years or even 25 years.

To me, frankly, it's like the Google of the Netherlands, because some people try to get hired by them and retire there. It's a good company in my experience.
It’s not just about how fast you are going. When you drive a car, do you look out for pedestrians running at 40? Would you be surprised if one showed up in front of you? Now imagine the same thing with a bicycle.

I've never heard the word "Semaglutide" before this moment in my life. However, to me naming the thing sounds like "people that did at least some of the homework, and I could probably look it up and see if it's interesting to me", and calling it anonymous "breakthrough medication" sounds like yet another scam that tries to suppress my rational brain and get money out of me before I had time to think if it's worth it. It literally does nothing to inform me or to make me think I may be interested - everybody who can hire a copywriter has "breakthrough something", and I certainly don't have time to pay attention to dig up real information on all of them.

I understand that the hustle is a part of the marketing. But medicine is not the area where you should lean on it. At least not on it alone. If you don't give me full and verifiable information about what you have, I won't be interested. Too many scams around and too high risk, especially with the new and yet unproven stuff.
the states that do actual hard and fast lockdowns do well.

That was indeed my point - you said it perfectly. I meant, that there is nothing for the customer in chiplets except cost.

Intel went the EMIB route to route through embedded silicon but people need to be reminded on HN that chiplet/fabric architecture is not something to brag about as a feature - which is what a lot of comments are doing (AMD did it first!). Intel went through this mess because they had to due to yield. It ain't a feature for the customer.
They also have a lot of insanely passionate and smart people, a few of which I know, but the culture can really stifle them at times which is a shame.
The motion sensor has to keep moving. Apps don’t need permission for the motion sensor, they can freely send it over, it’s not private data.
Since the business belongs to your Father in Law, you want to be sure of a couple of things. First, does he really want to sell the business to you ? It is not very clear from you post so I want to confirm. If you think you can do a better job but he doesn't think so, then it wouldn't matter. Second, if you think he wants a say in it afterwards, you need to discuss and agree on exact role/boundaries for him if he will still be involved. It cannot be like "sell it to me and then we will figure out how we can work together". Don't do that. Instead, have a frank discussion with him and let him know that you either intend to NOT have him involved at all or you can hire him a consultant on demand. But boundaries have to be set.

If you can get these 2 things in order, then I don't see why you cannot buy the business from him considering you seem passionate about this and you have experience in the business already.
If you limit yourself to like 25mph thats a nonissue though, all bikes are built to handle that speed.
I don't know if conscious, but prima facie it is a direct complement of the famous thought:

>The hard question which really has nothing to do with the tech, is what we do if a self driving car kills a person. Made worse if the accident could be avoided by the majority of human drivers.

we have already had exactly such a case - Uber. Even though Uber was totally negligent, nothing happened to them, beside probably some settlement behind the scene. In part they were able to wiggle it by showing a bad dynamic range video (which is completely different from how human eyes see in such situation) there the victim appears as if out of nowhere.

I think that case just sets the pattern that the autonomous vehicles will not be judged according to human driver standard.
sed, being a stream editor, is more efficient than ed, in that it does not need to keep the entire file in memory.

I hear that, but it seems like in the video he doesn’t place any blame on the platforms, and treats it as a kind of natural phenomenon (I stopped watching after he compared it to evolution).

I don’t think anything he said is incorrect, but he does seem to miss the world of possible incentive structures that would reduce clickbait.
Why is prose in monospace!? This style needs to die.
That is very clearly wage theft. Employee rights is not so clear cut, and when you really get down to it must be decided in favor of the employee. (Otherwise, e.g., an out of work engineer who can't take jobs due to a noncompete is put on unemployment, having the public socialize his previous employer's contract terms.)
It’s a historical thing.

In the olden days the only way to get an education was through privately tutoring.

So establishments where everyone was educated together were “public” - even though you paid to attend.

Nowadays “public meaning paid” implies one of these original public schools (Harrow, Eton and the like).

I went to a paid school, founded in 1513, but it wouldn’t be called “public” because it’s not one of those original schools and therefore not high enough in the class system. It would be called “private”.

“Public as in free to attend” schools are known as state schools.
It's clearly based on the HYPER-idealistic driving conditions of primarily high-angle sun with dreary-yet-predictable Phoenix "stroads".

They picked a good first experiments location but it's NOT representative of more than 1% of roads on the planet! It's a bizarro-world of simplified challenge and problem space. Drop such a system into any real world driving and it will fall flat on its face very quickly and endanger both passengers, other drivers and pedestrians.
You are getting something here by mentioning characters. Indeed there are a lot of distinct Chinese surnames written in the Chinese script that become identical after romanization, especially the romanization in the West where different tones are also ignored.

Wikipedia has a nice list of common Chinese surnames at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_Chinese_surname... and one can easily find examples: like 许 and 徐 both become Xu after romanization.
That would presume a consistent and systematic belief systems.
You know in an interview loop where you consider "culture fit?" That's it. That's the conspiracy.

For a journalism job at the Telegraph you're going to need to have a resume where you've written the right kinds of articles with the right kind of tone. Have a bunch of articles that you've written sympathetic to Corbyn and those around him and you ain't getting the job.

They won't even need to police you that hard once you've gotten the job, because you've spent 20+ years being brought up a certain way and you're probably not going to massively deviate from your past all of a sudden, particularly not if you're clearly getting paid well based on your current trajectory. Once you get vetted in the interview process they know what they're getting based on the way you present yourself, the way you talk, your background, where you grew up, the schools you went to, etc. And when you've been there long enough you'll vet other candidates the same way.

And its largely the same kind of interpersonal mechanics that govern the formation of cliques in high school, enforced by interviews and performance reviews, with large incentives where if you conform you climb the ladder and gain more wealth and power. Nobody needs to write it all down just like there's no written rules that he art nerds tend to hang out with the art nerds (and I'm sure there's examples of people who you think you can point to who broke the molds there, but they're notable precisely because they broke the molds).
Sigh. The deniers and antivaxers will have made up their minds already, and this will just be perceived as part of the mass media coverup. It's hopeless.
Some of that may be because brakes on old cars (drum brakes, undersized discs, etc) were often terrible. I think stock brakes have been quite good on most cars in the last 15 years or so.

For example, a 2021 Chevy Surburban is a HUGE SUV, but does 70mph-0 in 166 feet. Better than a 1999 Camaro Z28 or Mustang GT, at 184 and 182 feet, respectively.
Abortion is different as it's someone else life.
If you kill a baby in your belly, you're still ending another life and violating the non aggression principle. If the pregnancy is threatening your life, then you could justify it.

In regards to drugs - I think any sort of government interference is horribly wrong.

Yeah I want to add some last updated timestamp to the bottom of the site, I'll probably do that in the next day or so.

The data is updated on a weekly cron. I run a small python script that utilizes Parliament's code for downloading the docs pages and parsing them into json. From there, what I did was create a SQL schema with SQLAlchemy and load the json data from the Parliament script.

I open sourced the code for anyone curious, it's nothing fancy. https://github.com/zscholl/aws-iam-db

I'd seen the cloudonaut site but I kept going back to the AWS docs to answer questions like: "what are all the s3 write actions?" or "what am I actually allowing with S3:get*?"

I created this to help solve that problem without googling "aws iam s3 actions" and scrolling down through AWS' pages.
The ones Obama and Biden built have fared much better.
Weren't a lot of Sweden's deaths very early and from nursing homes specifically because they were taking literally no preventative measures, though?

They learned from this, and recommended different things for older people and nursing homes, specifically, was my understanding.

If you factor out all those deaths in the beginning - the difference in deaths is not 10x.

And 10x doesn't really matter. If 1 person died in Norway and 10 people died in Sweden, I don't think we'd be debating much. Even in Sweden, they did not have as many deaths as most other countries, and a lot of them were very early on.
I wasn't sure if my comment was in the spirit of HN given it's overly personal and is now totally irrelevant to the lithub post. But since you asked -- before the PD's conclusion I told myself I would just accept whatever they report. But doing that has now left me with the lifelong burden of falsely accusing two people of murder.

The people were desperately poor in-laws. He was becoming cash poor but was still home equity rich and often commented that if he missed too many remittances he would likely be killed. Poisoning was rumored to be a common way to accelerate the inheritance process in his native country. When this is about to happen, the rumors start but everyone is afraid to do anything. I heard the rumor from a desperate family member but who then ended the conversation with "please don't say anything" and another implying they will take revenge. The in-laws came for a quick visit, he soon became so ill he ended up in the hospital and died, and then they quickly left. I have law enforcement buddies that mentioned poisoning can be extremely difficult to detect and prove and no one in his country could tell me names of poisons that were useful to his doctors. His doctors could not explain why he was so sick, and the coroner mentioned some health problems he found that could have killed him but implied that this conclusion was not strong.
Japan does not consider someone an adult capable of making that decision until they are 20. Further, they won't force the decision (nor will the US) even after that point.

This leads to interesting issues. One such individual was in training with me but had to sit and wait 6 months until he turned 20 to renounce his Japanese citizenship so that he could obtain a clearance. This was 20 years ago, so things may have changed.
Anyone knows any scripts or whatnot which would enable the download of current timeline history (with places, establishments and their addresses and all other (meta)data), and import into the alternative open source self-hosted one?

Haven't tested Google takeout for that functionality yet, but I kind of doubt it includes that data, probably just GPS coordinates. (I could be wrong, though.)
> There are massive and obvious dangers in letting Google, Facebook, Twitter decree for millions/billions of people what counts as "science" or "misinformation", and they've already demonstrated getting it spectacularly wrong. It's vital to a free society to have a culture of open debate, and these platforms are now our media for such debate.

I'm highly concerned about BigTech regulating the speech of others particularly when the others are experts in their respective fields, and BigTech has none, but is merely parroting an authoritarian government perspective.

When we normally debate a view, people present data from opposing viewpoints and we sort it out over time. Sides present data. Sides explain relevancy and over time, we determine greater accuracy. That cannot happen in an environment where gatekeepers control the speech and dictate the tone and content of it.

> Without getting into rightness or wrongness of views, I think it's factually the case that those pressures are coming from a fairly narrow band of political opinion which is far from being the entire spectrum and excludes many mainstream views, so in that sense what we're seeing is something analogous to "regulatory capture" of the big platforms. This gives enormous leverage to one cluster of political opinions over all the others. It's a distorting factor which I think is against the public interest (even though I personally agree with some of their views).

> We need debate and persuasion, not hard use of power. This understanding was commonplace, in fact bedrock, for so long that many of us are shocked at how quickly it could be abandoned, and not just abandoned or even forgotten but replaced with a narrative in which it was never that way to begin with!

I think this is very well written, and can be related to much of the modern authoritarian use of power, of compulsion, by BigTech in cahoots with government.

The same result obtains when your phone isn't leaking your location data to anyone.

I used to believe that social media was a huge issue in society, I'm not so sure anymore.

I recently listened to a Podcast with Andreessen Horowitz, he mentioned this twitter account https://twitter.com/PessimistsArc

“No one got upset when bicycles showed up. No one said, oh my God, we just ruined society.” - https://twitter.com/i/status/1304134132709109761

We're quick to blame anything new for problems within our society.

He mentioned the point how Communism and Nazism spread without social media/internet.
People seem to believe what ever their social groups believes so I'm not sure less "fake news" is going to solve that.

fyi - I deleted my Facebook account for other reasons
I've already written this in a previous comment, however I think it bears repeating: I think Apple have introduced this client-side content scanning technology under the auspices of protecting against CSAM, while its true intention is to allow for the Chinese government to scan citizens' phones for subversive content. I'm convinced that Apple's upper management figure the minimal blowback they're experiencing for this privacy invading technology in the west is worth the expansion of their technology into a much more totalitarian Chinese market. I think that this development has been precipitated by a very visible decline in America's economic, and social position as a world leader. Why not risk this move? America's trajectory is that of almost definite decline.
So the a conspiracy that causes people to respond poorly to the threat is worse than the conspiracy that released the threat into the world in the first place?
