Building the battery pack yourself would give flexibility regarding size and shape of the battery pack. Maybe you could put them inside the seat tube?
400 Euros is all it takes for a 500W battery, 500W+ direct drive motor E-Bike conversion.

200 Euros just for the battery pack. And we're not talking some shit 7Ah pack that will last half an hour. An hour at full power is the minimum, anything else is unacceptable.

Whether used for constant speed, acceleration only or pedal assist, what's the point of an E-Bike that's deadweight after less than an hour?

I actually have made a design using a 1KW brushed motor that replaces the pedals and uses the hub gear. It is cheaper, but harder to install (needs at least a custom frame for the motor) and is illegal on bike lanes as the pedals are removed. Could share it if anyone cares.
This was mentioned before, but the explanation is very simple - walking gets your brain flushed with blood, making you think clearer. That's all there is to it.

To take it further, recent studies suggest that exercise more strenuous than just walking makes you better at dealing with uncomfortable decisions and situations (as exercise forces you to power through discomfort).

The “real” problem is either: (a) You know the authorities want access to your data because <x>, and you travel across a border with it. (b) You possess sensitive information and are not aware of law enforcement’s desire to get it; (c) You’re swept up at random; (d) You’re a criminal, or carry a paper trail of potential illegal activity.

Solutions:

(a) Means you are stupid. The only way to win is not to play.

(b) Means you either didn’t follow your employer’s security guidelines or aren’t aware of the risks associated with whatever is on your device. You can’t solve that problem without understanding that.

(c) You should use discretion re: what you cross a border with and either accept the risk or do something else.

(d) Don’t really care. See (a).

A word of warning. I started looking a little into motor assist bike mods a few years ago, and very quickly you find that the biggest mistake people make in this area is not altering any of the other systems of the bike. That is, they'll put in the motor, and then just ride. Which works, but then you find that your brakes aren't quite good enough to stop quickly at the new higher speeds. Shocks are no longer good enough to prevent certain issues as well. Maybe the frame needs reinforcing... I don't quite remember the whole laundry list.

I don't know how important some of these improvements are, I just remember reading this advice more than once, and safety is important. So be smart and do your research.
Well, I guess there is more to being a hacker than just having programming experience.

I understand that the post is more than its title, but I couldn’t resist and got triggered by it.

For me, it’s about being curious, not taking any technical solution for granted and having the inner need and energy to explore, to experiment, to be skeptical and feeling the drive to improve things …
Oh, absolutely. But to me writing programs that way is a malpractice :D so I strive very hard to not have code and/or whole programs acting like this (long lead times as you said). So I break it down on smaller chunks and cover those with tests, extensively.

Definitely not a bullet-proof strategy but it gets me 90% of the way. The rest 10% I work hard to cover with telemetry / logs / "debug" print statements.

I mean don't get me wrong, I've done some pretty amazing things with `gdb` a loooooong time ago but gradually, as my career took a sharp turn mostly into backend web development, I lost the need for a debugger.

Since I am looking to branch out of web development again and likely land in Rust / OCaml lands, I'll probably need to relearn debuggers.

Such dishonest statistics, this source. For example,

> One of these neighboring Southeastern states had a statewide mask mandate. The other two did not.

But mask mandates do not claim to prevent COVID-19 deaths, rather transmission. A state with relatively low transmission but poor healthcare infra will see similarly unintuitive/surprising trends.
The feature exactly like that exists in Xiaomi phones. It's called Second space, and basically allows you to have second profile with different apps or accounts. Interesting thing is that you can set it up to open when unlocking the phone with specific fingerprint. The idea is to fill that Second space with dummy info, and unlock it with your little finger, for example (or vice versa, use it for sensitive information). Obviously, it wouldn't fool thorough phone scan (and if you dig deep enough in the settings you can see if the feature is enabled) but can be useful at quick cursory scans, like if you need to provide your phone at the border
Swede here:

It's complex. I'm extremely unhappy with the way the Swedish gov handled this.

I see two main failures:

1. Not reacting quickly enough. Denmark and Norway reacted quickly and strongly back in early March 2020. At this critical point, Sweden's "CDC" dropped the ball in a monumental manner, and the government didn't pick it up.

2. Not protecting municipal elderly homes in a competent way, early on. This is where most deaths happened. Norway in particular handled this so much better.

And of course we should compare ourselves to e.g. Denmark/Norway/Finland.

I think the root cause of all this is that Sweden has not been involved in a war in a very long time, unlike our neighbors. We're pretty good when things are stable, but apparently awful when things are dynamic/shit is going down.

Of course I have very specific opinions on what "actually" went wrong and why, but that would be too detailed to be useful here and also way too partisan.
There are parts of the country where you can buy unincorporated land. But most people don't want to live there. You are responsible for building and maintaining your own roads, pumping your own water and treat sewage. Police, fire, and public schools are a monthly fee. And if you don't pay and change your mind it's a retroactive charge.

It's the kind of living only the most dedicated can afford to do. Everyone else simply pays city/county taxes and assume the problem is going to get sorted.
If your phone shows up at the scene of a crime, even if you weren't the perpetrator, they use it against you. If your phone shows it wasn't anywhere near the scene of the crime, they claim it's irrelevant because you knew you were going to commit a crime and left your phone somewhere else.

The metaphor implies the biochemistry, at least somewhat. If you read the paper — anyone with a college degree should be able to understand it — most of the errors are about DNA being transformed into RNA. But the word transcribe means a copy is made! Maybe people also see the arrow as a chemical reaction product, being primed from HS chem, but arrows are used for other things. If you don’t know what transcribe means, you are likely to assume the wrong metaphor, I guess.

JSON is nice in that it has just enough structure to do a good number of tasks in one obvious way. The biggest omission is probably some kind of time and/or date type (but ISO8601 in a string is the obvious solution there).

It’s not a coincidence that JSON was reverse-engineered from a language with convenient literals for dictionaries and arrays, and most languages provide those two collection types because they cover most use cases, so JSON fits most languages fairly well.

It’s just handy having both arrays and dictionaries available, rather than stretching one data structure to cover both, whatever Lua or Lisp might say.
Ah right yeah, I'm not sure that is a great idea. If you don't develop against the same system you want to deploy with you are asking to find bugs in production.
Yes. I had build failures related to LTO on our production code that uses gcc 7.5 (Ubuntu 18.04). I had to build it with gcc 9.1 (Ubuntu 20.04) in order to get a useful error message that saved me an hour or two of faffing about.

> charging infrastructure can scale with the number of vehicles - other countries have power grids too!

Very few countries have made sustained investment in lots of charging stations, particularly not the ones that Japan normally exports to. According to Wikipedia:

> The most popular destinations for used cars from Japan are Australia, Bangladesh, Barbados, Bolivia, Brunei, Canada, Congo, Dominican Republic, Eswatini, Georgia, Guyana, Hong Kong, Ireland,Jamaica, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Lesotho, Malaysia, Mongolia, Mozambique, Myanmar, New Zealand, Pakistan, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Russia, Sri Lanka, Suriname, Tanzania, Thailand, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, United Kingdom, Zambia, and Zimbabwe.

In the case of some of those countries like Kenya, Uganda, Congo, and Myanmar, not all households are electrified, so you can't reasonably expect them to have national charging grids.

Given the amount of discussion this article has sparked on HN, I’d argue that as obvious as it might be, the technique is nonetheless obscure. The amount of highly experienced and accomplished programmers I’ve encountered who have no idea how floating point numbers work is astoundingly high.

If a similar article were written about how shifting an integer to the right by one bit is equivalent to dividing it by two, I highly suspect it would attract no attention on this site, aside from a couple dismissive comments grousing about why such a basic fact needs its own article.
Despite rumors to the contrary, the police aren’t stupid. They are trained to ask questions in ways that elicit a confession or falsehood.

The simplest example is asking “Do you know why I pulled you over?”. Typically, people spontaneously confess to speeding, sometimes they break down and admit that someone is wrapped up in a rug in the trunk.

The courts have consistently ruled that customs is different and you can be searched without a warrant. Don’t cross borders with contraband or evidence of criminal acts/dissident identity/your email correspondence with foreign agents/etc.

It's not a canard, it's well-founded by examining precedent. The courts already decided that compelled speech (the Fairness Doctrine) didn't make sense without scarcity of a medium or difficulty to publish through the medium. The precedent is that newspapers (which is a harder field to enter into than starting a website) couldn't be compelled under the Fairness Doctrine because it wasn't licensed and was wide open. That's absolutely not a canard here (do you know what that word means?).

Starting up a website is even easier than publishing a newspaper so it would be very bizarre for that precedent to somehow not be applied in this instance.
Not sure why new information has provoked such a personal response from you. As a native English speaker from London, have you heard of “as a lark”?
I don't think they hide their existence from each other however. If they're like Unix users, then one might see something like /home/user1 /home/user2 /home/user3, etc. so that all usernames would be clearly visible and the user could be then forced to reveal all passwords. The aim is to obtain plausible deniability, that is logging in as the safest user according to the situation, while at the same time hiding all others.
Hunter gatherers (who mostly aren't white) probably do way more walking than most modern people.
> Why would they do this?

Because if they did, another landlord would undercut them. But with all the landlords facing rising costs, another landlord cannot afford to undercut. Hence the rents all rise.

This is how supply&demand curves work.

Over the last few years, Seattle has added many various laws that are costly to landlords to comply with. This corresponds with a decline in affordable housing. I'm pretty sure the Seattle Council is well aware of this connection. But as the number of renters far exceeds the number of landlords, they know where the votes are, and they sell the fiction to the renters that the landlords will pay.

That’s bullshit. Lay magistrates deal with minor issues like traffic infractions, violations and minor misdemeanors.
> Whether used for constant speed, acceleration only or pedal assist, what's the point of an E-Bike that's deadweight after less than an hour?

I'd like to see some data on power usage for different percentages of user-assist for people doing average biking speeds. e.g. 25% of total power being motorised/assisted, the other 75% being human-powered, on average.

After all, using it at full power always isn't a bicycle, it's a motorcycle. The idea of e-bikes is to assist the user, on accelerating from a stoplight, on a hill, after a break, in a particularly strong gust of wind. At these short moments assist can be >90%, but when you're at speed it can be say <10%, averaging to perhaps 25%. The assist can be higher on warm days to prevent them becoming too sweaty days, but it'll still be to assist regular biking.

But yeah less than an hour is not really acceptable, I agree. Unless there's some kind of ubiquitous and convenient charging infrastructure, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
> being un-vaccinated will eventually hurt people (by increasing transmission, and hastening the onset of a disastrous mutation)

Your statement is missing the sorely needed nuance that individuals with immunity acquired through natural infection are at least equally well protected as vaccinated individuals. That is the consensus in the scientific consensus literature right now.

This fact is the central argument of the lawsuit presented in the OP.

It's imperative to move beyond the dualistic framing of these discussions as "vaccinated versus unvaccinated". At this point it's borderline misinformation to continue with such rhetoic.
I've been using emacs through termux on my phone for this. It's surprisingly usable, but I'd rather have something that works seamlessly with walking.

Not sending kids to school, eliminating social interactions, shutting down businesses, this was the drastic unknown experiment not the other way around. The effects are becoming more apparent now and I'm sure there will be a lot written about the subject in the future. Gloating doesn't seem appropriate at this point but sure after a year of the world screaming how bad we handled it maybe a Swedish moderate amount of national pride is warranted.
>Why are people still arguing about a countries population density in late 2021?

Because the effective Swedish population density is very low? The effective density is affected by household size, and about 40% of Swedes live alone without children[0]. Sweden had the biggest Corona infection vector neutered and still did horribly.
