Range gives you options. My gas cars all have 400+ mile ranges. I've been in several places in the last 3 years with 130+ miles between (gas) services. That's scary even when the range estimator is saying "you're cool".

I just drove from STL -> Chicago -> Yellowstone -> Seattle. Range helps a lot since we multiple time deviated from the plan (Rushmore to devils tower). We would have had to be very specific with a lower range electric. Also our options for lodging would have been much more greatly restricted and we would issues have missed several cool small towns. And we'd have had to, while exhausted, charge the car at the end of a long day.

To get real detailed: Looking at their trip planner, and ignoring you can't charge up in most of yellowstone, CHI -> Rushmore -> Devils Tower -> Lusk -> Canyon Village is 390 minutes / 6.5 hours charging. Due to the limited number of stops in the trip planner, the remainder of the trip (which assumes a full charge at the start) would be another 110 minutes, (~2 hours) of charging. For a grand total of probably 9 hours of charging, or a full day of driving over that trip. I filled up 8 times on the trip, call it 10 minutes each, so 80 minutes. So call it 7 hours (420 minutes). That's 560 miles of drive time spent charging, which is basically a full day over that trip.

I did see several teslas in the park, but I'm guessing they were coming in and out from Jackson / Gardier / West. We did 250 miles a day in the park easy and we stayed in the park. Also exhausted at the end of each day.

Note I'm not a charging expert nor hyper optimizer so you may be able to do better but I had trouble just booking the hotels for this trip due to covid's impacts on everything.

My buddy drives for work as an engineering sales person. They go to factories from North Cali to Vancouver BC, and out to MT. Drives from Portland, OR to the UP, Michigan for fun 4 times a year. Those trips would be a PITA with a standard low range EV.

A year ago I went from Tuscon -> Ozarks, MO -> STL -> Chicago. IIRC the Tesla trip planner had us doing 7+ hours at the charger. We did the trip in 2 days in a gas car and went all over the place.

In 2019 we went from Cairns to Brisbane over 13 days, which is about 1100 miles, even less options.

In 2018 we did Sea -> Crater Lake -> Crescent City -> Tahoe -> Yosemite -> CV -> LA -> and then the 1 on the coast up back up to Seattle. 3800 massive miles, 82 hours driving. I can't even imagine what planning that trip with a low range EV would look like.

Sure I don't do it all the time but I'm averaging one large (2500mi+) road trip every year or so.

And this doesn't even consider things like ski trips where you're blowing a whole day if you can't get a charge/refill on time. There are a lot of EVs in the Seattle area, that means a lot of people using the chargers in remote areas and you're already exhausted and dealing with tired kids.

I'm personally waiting on a suv-ish ev with >500 mile range. And even then my cars are all in great shape, so it'll be a while before I buy one.
Im genuinely curious: how much different is obesity in women?
I often wonder the same thing. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that most (all? I don't think so but maybe) other industries can rely on trusted licenses, degrees, certificates, etc. Now I'll admit I never interviewed to be a lawyer, or a plumber or a telemarketer so maybe I don't have a clear picture of what other industries do.
Seems like quite a risk to only have one company provide these machines.

Semiconductor companies seem to follow the same trend, the major contributing factor seems to be the patent portfolio needed to secure cross-licensing deals.

It looks like patents are actively preventing new companies in the semiconductor business.

It's the AI companies to blame, always.
Obviously the algorithm is without blame, it's not a blamelable entity.
coincidentally I just finished https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sponsored_Content_(South_Park)
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth_and_Advertising is playing.

This is just an advertisement, unpaid. I had no idea who the company was until reading this, and also thought it was an incredibly thin post lacking any real justification for what it’s trying to do. It also has a clickbaity headline for the general consumer of HN. The Ads just keep evolving.
Also, it seems the norm in the US to take Uber to hospitals now because the shits driving ambulances will charge you $2000+ for the ride. They will literally take advantage of your life-threatening situation to make a quick buck off you.

Welcome to what thinks they are a developed country.
The only time I hear about people who talk about AI are average joes, ignorant journalists, generic business analysts, and upper management that don't know anything about programming. I wish I could point to these people and say "look at video game AI, we can't even make those without it cheating or following a routine to simulate human playstyles. What makes you think we can do that in real life without doing the same?"
That’s really expensive on top of the inherent inefficiency of cars: you’re paying a ton of money for something which uses a lot of energy and pollution (yes, even BEVs) to carry slightly over one person on average. Rebuilding the road system won’t change that or make climate change go away, especially since you’d need a lengthy transition period.

What might make sense is limited deployment in areas where the problem can be constrained: dedicated bus routes, truck convoy lanes on an interstate, etc.

For the rest of it we should be focusing on how to get people out of cars since even BEVs pollute far more than buses, rail, bicycles, or walking.
> Google has long shied away from providing these figures, in part because geofence warrants are largely thought to be unique to Google. Law enforcement has long known that Google stores vast troves of location data on its users in a database called Sensorvault, first revealed by The New York Times in 2019.

> Sensorvault is said to have the detailed location data on “at least hundreds of millions of devices worldwide,” collected from users’ phones when they use an Android device with location data switched on, or Google services like Google Maps and Google Photo, and even Google search results. In 2018, the Associated Press reported that Google could still collect users’ locations even when their location history is “paused.”
Agreed, just saying that it wouldn't be tax free income.
On the topic I often recommend the great book Hard Conversations, and another by the same authors Thanks for the Feedback. They give a detailed breakdown of how communication actually works so that my overly technical brain can apply it.
What to Do When the Sun Turns Violent in 2025?
FSNotes is amazing.

It's what I've settled on, not liking the lock-in (bad export options) of Notes.app, paying for increasingly crappier Evernote (I used in the past), cloud-sync-based note apps, very barebones FOSS apps, half-arsed stuff like Agenda, and Electron crap.
> If it is produced from e.g. methane (the blue version), then we are burning more methane than we would have if we had been using the methane directly

Yes, but since we're capturing the CO2, that's fine.

There's also turquoise hydrogen [1] - produced from natural gas by pyrolysis, capturing solid carbon, without ever producing CO2. This is equivalent to blue hydrogen, but the technology looks a lot more promising to me, because solid carbon is easier to sequester than CO2.

The big problem with natural gas is the losses of the gas itself during production and transport. This is only 1-3% of the gas produced, but methane is a very powerful greenhouse gas, so even that amount is significant. If that could be substantially reduced, turquoise hydrogen looks pretty good to me.

Something i haven't been able to find out is how much the loss rate varies. Maybe it's 2% on average because losses from old Russian gas wells are 5% and losses from modern North Sea gas wells are 0.1%. That would also change the picture.

> we are wasting electricity that could have been used directly in BEVs

It's vital to understand what hydrogen would be used for. The most important use i can see is substituting for natural gas in legacy domestic heating. There are over 20 million gas boilers in homes in the UK. We are slowly replacing them with heat pumps, electric heating, and better insulation, but it will take decades to replace them all. If we could replace natural gas in the supply with hydrogen [2], we could cut emissions much sooner - even faster than waiting for electric cars to displace petrol ones.

Vastly misunderstood this from the title and I suspect a few others have as well.

This seems to be more about internships than interviews for a qualified professional (or whatever you want to call those candidates).

Just make unpaid internships illegal. If you do work for a company that a paid employee would normally do, then you should be compensated.

But not paying someone to run around and get you coffee is just completely nonsensical these days.

I'd laugh all the way out of the door, and my country has a 40% unemployment rate. I'm just not going to do work I don't get paid for, because it turns out living is expensive.
I would say it's more strings attached than handing a wad of cash to someone. A service aggregator like this certainly would reduce the headache for the hiring company but for the person being interviewed they still have to 'play ball' by entrusting some commercial entity with private information, no?

SV is very particular about the type of employee it wants. It’s not like they really like independent thinkers here. They want someone who they can mold and will do the work exactly as they say. Leetcode stands as a good test for that.

It's an extremely common practice so I don't mean to specifically go after you about it. I'm sorry if it came off that way.

I just really don't like it. I see it as exploiting people in a vulnerable position.

You're right that there are varying degrees. Certainly the worst - for me personally - was King Games in Sweden asking me to spend a week on making a candy crush clone after a short phone interview. I was in a position to refuse but I cannot imagine how many peoples' weeks they wasted.
Once you submit your take home what do you think happens? We do it at my current company and I usually spend around 45minutes to review a take home and submit (what I think is) useful feedback. And I have to do a few a week. Definitely takes some of the company's time.

What method do you prefer over a take-home?
If the goal was really to repopulate the countryside some quick changes might make this much more appealing.

Manor house model.

If you want an old time feel, allow for full fudel style living. This would mean.

* Allow frontpage / living space be expanded keeping same style - so main home could add some outbuildings.

* Allow owner to hire out labor for the farming using outbuildings.

* Allow owner to use this as a summar house as long as at least 4 other people lived on property full time (farming / caretakers etc)

* Explicitly allow (screened) sat dishes / 4G LTE extenders for internet access if needed or get fiber to property.

Modern digital nomad modal.

* Go big on connectivity. Allow easy renovations behind existing look (ie, upgrade to modern comfort).

* Make it VERY easy to live in these including quick visas etc for folks with means and only a 1 year residence requirement etc.

* Allow digital nomads to easily bring partners / kids etc.

Commercial development model.

* Remove building / zoning restrictions. Ie, ugly modern houses OK. Tear down and replace OK. Etc. Let creativity flourish (including some horrible / weird / crazy houses or tiny shacks etc).

There is a reason folks are moving out of these areas - the tradeoffs are not worth it (currently). Maybe tweak those tradeoffs?

You bring up good points about privacy and regulatory difficulties.

I just don’t know why you focused on the monetary total earlier. You’re already spending thousands of man hours of your own engineers’ time to interview them - the gift card cost is not that consequential in comparison.

Mine drove me to Yellowstone and back with like two disengagements which were my paranoia about other traffic.

But yes: the example was an interstate in Texas. And I happen to know it actually works quite well on interstates. So a very reasonable experiment about whether or not automation "will never get there" on edge cases like the referenced interstate is to take a commonly deployed, already available automation technology there and test it.

But also recognize that shipping autopilot is now about a year old. All the FSD work hasn't made it to released cars yet. It's very much evolved, but visible only on youtube right now.
+100 to this. There is such a delta between interview skills (leetcoding, brushing up star formatting to suit target company values and leadership principles) and skills actually needed for a job that without mock interviews your success rates are significantly diminished. I know several folks who interview regularly just to not get rusty ... with interviewing! I blame commoditization of software engineering and plenty of NIH stack building!
I think the OP was talking about interviewing at 40 companies per year, not interviewing 40 candidates at their company.

Also hey man! Are you still doing work for Fusion?
I'm not arguing against paying folks, I'm saying the paperwork overhead is substantial and will bias the process against those that don't want to cough up tax info for every company they apply to.
Probably the occupancy requirement would take care of the issue better.
> The police used the altered location of the shot to imply that the defendant's story about what happened wasn't true. Which was that another person in another var at a different location did the shooting.

Ok that would make more sense, but I definitely did not take that away from the article. I’m sure there are better sources on this case though.

Are you sure you want them to work for Facebook? :-)
You are replying to me with your own tangential situation. Perhaps you shouldn't compensate all candidates, or compensate them less. I didn't say anything about why someone should be compensated, just how, if someone wanted to.

As an unrequested piece of advice, 150 hires to an engineering organization sounds like a gigantic waste of money. Perhaps you should give me the project and see if I can deliver it better for 1/150th of the price.
Not many. The biggest bummer is having to permanently reside. There is no way out or fudging it. Since all residents (including citizens) have to register their resident card (which ties your insurance, taxes, legal residence etc), there isn't much of a way out. (You can't be in two places of course! And you can forfeit your acquisition or penalized if discovered, although I haven't heard any such case yet.).

Think of zairyu (resident permit) as SSN with all personal details locked in.
Is there some reason you think the GP missed this point? Being able to restrict user access to issues-only would make using GH for project management a bit "cleaner", regardless of whether the repo is issue only or not.
Are you sure about this? In my tests floating points are always considered partially ordered, not totally ordered. This page [0] even mentions this in the notes towards the bottom.

It’s not a bad point (I can’t and didn’t downvote you).

However, I stand by my original claim that most doctors aren’t doing the kind of work that we collectively would want the very brightest people to do, if we had the choice. It’s just not leveraged enough.
Yeah, softball (not reflecting) across the country doesn't seem very real nor useable.
Teslas are not self driving cars regardless of what Musk claims. They aren't even close. Even Tesla admits that their "full self driving" mode is only level 2 automation.

I know this is off-topic and not your fault in any way, but I'm tired of the "spousal perspective" on this site when it comes to East Asia. Somehow most of the East Asian perspectives we get here are partners of East Asian folks, despite East Asia having lots and lots of engineers.
When I reached the end of the "article" I thought that my browser had failed to load 2/3 of the page. The part where they would explain how they then started using this for professionals as opposed to interns, where they measured how it improved the quality of their hiring, where they would explain if there is any screening before getting people into the "paid for" program.
If calorie restriction is causing those side effects, it is an indicator that the person is "doing it wrong" by either restricting their intake far more than is healthy or more likely their diet is very sub optimal (eg, 100% carbs causing blood sugar to spike and then crash when they "run out" of calories).

These are problems of application which are easy to fix with a food journal and perhaps a bit of research, not really a great argument against calorie restrictions effectiveness.
https://grammarist.com/phrase/on-a-lark/

The “lark” in the idiom “on a lark” has nothing to do with a simile to birds. It derives from an old Norse word which means “to play.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/lark#Etymology_2

Using correct terms helps to communicate effectively. What is wrong with promoting correct use of English? I always appreciate it when my coworkers promote correct programming idioms to me, it helps me become a better programmer.
How can an external tool do this? As far as I know, there is no way to show half of your audience a title/thumbnail and the other half another title/thumbnail. If they are not testing different variants at the same time, it limits what can be learnt from the experiment.
I'm considering switching from my current car subscription (because they got bought out by Fair, and since then the service has turned to shit). Hybrids like that sound nice but I'm still eyeing Tesla because they are the only ones who have a reasonably autopilot system.

Many others have lane keep systems that are designed to kill -- if you accidentally fall asleep at the wheel or become incapacitated, it will shut the lane keep system off and crash, instead of attempting to coming to a clean stop and putting on emergency flashers, which is what Tesla does.
Yes, it’s kind of a silly headline. A percentage compares two numbers, in the numerator and a denominator. If you don’t know what’s being counted or measured, it’s not a real statistic.

However, people do uses percentages metaphorically and we should try not to be so distracted by silly headlines.
The Mirai has an EPA range of 402mi [0] and the Model 3 long-range has 353mi [1], so it isn't a straight comparison.

And FCEVs are still in their infancy. There are only 6 production FCEVs so far [2] with very few charging stations built yet. They haven't reached anywhere near the same level of maturity as BEVs. Just compare the first list [2] to the second list [3]. What was the available range when BEVs only had 6 production vehicles on the market?

So I think it's more accurate to say the theoretical advantage hasn't _yet_ been realized in practice.

Probably not. I was going to upvote a few just to be friendly, but I don't understand what they mean.

Do you have a check to ensure that a person can't upvote twice? (Like cookies, or something similar.)
I agree with this - when there's an economic incentive to get clean data, you get clean data.

For instance, there's a lot of manual clean up work put into things like training data sets for speech recognition because there has been a lot of investment there. Same with self driving I assume because so much $$$ got invested there.

Radiology scans or cough based COVID detectors or medical claims on the other hand? I wouldn't expect it. It's just researchers trying to get a quick paper without adequate funding.
"proves" --that word doesn't mean what you think it means.
I can't wait for the rest of the series:

Climate change is 99% solved. The last 1% is the hardest.

We are 99% of the way to ending all wars. The last 1% will be the hardest.

Scientists are 99% of the way to curing cancer. The last 1% will be the hardest.

etc.
It states a range of 545km US, which is about 340mi, which is about the same as the 326 of the current Y.

Is this really new or just incremental range gains from the new chassis battery stuff?
Not doing any discrimination at all is a genuinely absurd position to hold. Discrimination is a necessary part of life without which society would collapse.

The question always is on which bases discrimination is good and on which bases it is bad. Discrimination based on race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, and other inherent characteristics of people is generally bad. Discrimination based on things like vaccination status is good.
Tesla has not "monopolized" charging stations in any reasonable understanding of the word. They spent somewhere south of $1B to built their own infrastructure. Any other company could have done that, but they chose to drag their heels instead. Even still, they could _still_ do that (and maybe EA will be that network). Electricity is pretty much everywhere, and there's definitely room for lots more long distance chargers. I don't understand how anyone could think what Tesla has done with it's supercharger network is a bad thing....
Golang did

That really depends on how “golang” fetches data: https://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/column_blob.html

C API makes it clear that if you request an int, you get an int, no matter what. The only way it could care is a client/wrapper library that looked at a column type, called a specific accessor function and then tried to push that value into non-compatible golang structure field(?). It doesn’t make the database incompatible, it’s just a wrapper with a poorly thought out type consistency. At C level, there is no such issue.
