As it seems many did not like the comment... I will provide you with a quote from Taleb. Maybe that will help some understand what I was try to get into.

“If you roll dice, you know that the odds are one in six that the dice will come up on a particular side. So you can calculate the risk. But, in the stock market, such computations are bull – you don’t even know how many sides the dice have!”

— Nassim Nicholas Taleb

It was pretty easy to travel from Moscow to St.Petersburg only using local trains („elektrichka“), but I also heard stories about traveling entire Transsiberian route this way in 1990s. As of 2017 this seemed already impossible, but still quite close with only few gaps, as can be seen in this story where it took author only 24 days and just 400€: https://www.yaplakal.com/forum2/topic2130672.html

Fingerprints aren't "junk science", but they do have error margins and plenty of room for mistakes. The problem is that many juries, judges, prosecutors, and even defenders forget about this.

This is the case for many types of evidence; witness statements for example can also be notoriously unreliable. It's not bad to use this kind of evidence, but you do have a problem if you consider any witness statement to be absolute truth and never consider any "reasonable doubt" there may be, and this is how you end up convicting people based purely on "I saw the suspect commit the crime from 50 metres away in the dark and I'm sure it was him!" or some such.

If you have six independent witness statements like that, or a witness statement and fingerprints then the reasonable doubt starts becoming a lot less reasonable.

This is also the problem with the case in this article: a piece of evidence over which it seems like reasonable doubt should exists is the singular piece of evidence tying this person to the crime. The problem here isn't the evidence as such IMHO, but that juries and/or defenders (depends on the case) seem exceedingly bad at sceptically examining physical evidence.

I get the feeling you use this phrase to dismiss anything you don't like. Nothing about this video at all describes or relates to a conspiracy.
Why not ask the people this directly? It's a major decision with real impact on the region. Also, there is a growing resentment among people that the EU leaders don't really pay any attention to the problems the average joe is facing on his daily life. You know stuff like job security, house prices, gasoline prices and all that has really deteriorated in most places. Instead they see their bills go up because of green energy transition. Many people no longer feel like the system is working for them (see this great article https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-how-capitalism-needs-refo...)
If the EU continues "not to ask" them because it is "complex" the resentment will only grow.
> Look at a Tesla, it’s an incredibly complex machine.

Tesla's EVs are overly complex, overly sophisticated. That doesn't need to be the case. Tesla adds enormous amounts of system and software complexity to try to be on the bleeding edge of supposed innovation. Tesla is selling that premise, that brand/image. If you remove it, people won't desire their cars as much, and certainly not at Tesla's price point.

You can make a far less complex, lower cost, 'dumb' EV. China is doing it right now and selling a lot of them.

What'll you'll see out of places like China over the next few decades, are hyper mass produced, high reliability, low cost, low complexity EVs that don't chase the cutting edge. China isn't yet great on reliability in auto manufacturing, they will be however if you iterate them forward in time.

It is also noteworthy that the video assumes that the truck would carry a battery equivalent of 1135 litres of diesel. But driving about 600 km a day at 30l/100km the truck only needs about 180 litres (140 kg) of diesel a day. Even with the 1:20 ratio, that would result in a 2.8 tonnes battery. Still punishing in terms of load capacity but much more realistic to offset through weight savings along the drive train.

Yeah, knowing or not, comparing with too few points is misconduct - that should be the fault of someone besides the defense, but that is somewhat tangential - does anyone with more knowledge know where the line is drawn? I imagine there are some outlandish coincedences happening.
I'm in a similar position.

It all depends on what you think as an actual job. An actual job of any worker is NOT RUINING BUSINESS - it is not only illegal but also criminal. So, your actual job is following rules of a company and if they make you wear uniform, because that would make you not stand out, you will have to oblige - according to the rules of a company where you are member of that extended family. Your teenage angst is not only wrong, but will mean booting you out of a company.

Like I mentioned before, if you have problems with business that is employing you and THEIR set of rules, that YOU have to follow and that is part of YOUR ACTUAL JOB, then you better SEEK OTHER JOB or CREATE YOUR OWN. No one is forcing you to follow rules - any rules, even CONSTITUTION(where whole NATION is regarded as an EXTENDED FAMILY), but you have to be ready to face consequences of alternative and that is INSANITY - not illegal, because you have not agreed on those rules, but good luck on imposing YOUR RULES or lack of rules on others... and have probably a very short journey in this fight YOU vs WORLD.

The world sucks if you have to adapt, but it is not right to enforce something onto others for your own comfort unless you pay others compensation. That is the base of any business.

Makes sense. You probably also spend less energy observing or caring about the consequences of your decisions the more "things already known" you used to decide.

>The Lindy effect (also known as Lindy's Law) is a theorized phenomenon by which the future life expectancy of some non-perishable things, like a technology or an idea, is proportional to their current age.

The Persian civilization is indeed thousands of years old and will be around for at least centuries more. But when someone says Iran is about to collapse they mean the current Islamic Republic that has only been around for a few decades.

These don't have "minor" loopholes to renovation or occupation.

Typically these will require the use of licensed craftsmen who can restore the building if they are the older style, and almost all will require 5-10 year occupation agreements and/or agreements to productively farm the land it comes with.

Further, there are strict restrictions on ownership by foreigners, and most of the akiya bank properties aren't eligible last I looked. Those that are will have little to no internet, you will be an hour or more away from a decent sized city, and you'd better be fluent in Japanese because noone in these communities will be fluent in anything else. Even signage in many of these places is lacking the English foreigners that have traveled there will be used to.

For reference I've lived in Japan, have a Japanese spouse, and my children are dual citizens. We have investigated this going on 15 years now and it's just not something you'd want to take on, if you were able to, most of the time.
The reason why the Swedish and German green party is so much in favor of green hydrogen is that it seems to be the best bet in their view for a future where the primary source of energy is wind. A storage for wind need to be able to last for months, have a output capacity that is proportional to the capacity of the wind, and be expected to repay the storage investment within a reasonable time frame.

The other storage alternatives each have their major drawbacks. Lithium batteries work great for solar as there you only need a few hours of capacity, and the current economical setup seems to be about 80% of output for 4 hours. Each day they get charged and each night they discharge and provide a relative fast return of investment. This doesn't work for wind.

Massive amount of reverse hydro has also been suggested, but getting the capacity up to the same output as current wind installations are difficult. Having a country like Germany operating for months on only hydro power would require a lot of land and constructions, both which carries with them a lot of initial pollution in terms of both methane and co2. It is also very expensive.

There are a few other lesser know storage suggestions like rust batteries and heat storage, but I have yet to hear any of them being currently economical viable to run a whole country.

Green hydrogen can however be created through converting a wind farm into a hydrogen production farm. The cost is currently still prohibitively more expensive compared to nuclear, but it is still the place where those political parties I mentioned early is putting their bets. They are hoping that prices will go down enough that they can start building those kind of wind farms and then convert existing fossil fuel burning power plants and infrastructure to use hydrogen instead.

(I had switched green to blue. Whops. Fixed).
Agreed people tend to fixate on the engine/motor, which might be less complex (even that's debatable), but the rest of the system supporting that motor is complex in it's own right.

It could come at the behest of police as in "it would be really helpful to our case if there was ShotSpotter evidence to support our cased". It could come from the fact that ShotSpotter is losing customers, and willing to do anything to make the product "feel" more valuable to the police to ensure cash cows keep producing.

The modern criminal investigation has so much negative baggage attached, from historical shenianigans, that it's easy to find ways to question the prosecution's case.
Japan isn't alone in having a problem with rural depopulation. Much of Europe as well. These cheap houses are not always going to be move-in ready, and there may be limitations on foreign ownership. So due diligence is in order.
Interesting. The problem described is the load capacity.

According to the video: The maximum capacity of a truck is 80,000 lbs or 36 metric tons. The average weight of a semi-tractor is 25,000 lbs or 11t, leaving 25t for fuel, trailer, and cargo. 300 gal of diesel at 7lbs/gal is 2100lbs or about 1t. A trailer is around 10t. That gives a cargo capacity of 14t. The difference between the Tesla and a typical semi is that the 1t of diesel is replaced by batteries, (according to the video) at a rate of 1lb to 20lb. As a result, the Tesla load capacity is small (or negative, according to my calcs here).

This is wrong.

I think the 1t of fuel is calculated as part of the 25t of semi tractor, rather than a separate weight. But that's a minor problem.

The big difference is that the range of a semi on 300g of diesel is about 1200 miles. The claimed range of the Tesla is a maximum of 500m. Therefore, the Tesla battery is comparable to 125g of diesel, or 875lbs, or about 1t. As a result, the Tesla should have about the same load capacity as a normal semi, just with 42% of the range.

On the other hand, that range is a problem. Truckers routinely complain about speed limits and limiters, because the difference between 55mph, say, and 70mph over a 10 hour (say) driving day is 150 miles. Drivers get paid by the mile, so that is some number of hundreds of dollars per day.

The Tesla's range of 500 miles per day (how long does it take to charge, compared to the driving hours schedule?) compared to the 600-700 miles per day of a typical semi is again some number of hundreds of dollars per day.

Does the Tesla have a hot-swappable battery pack? And how much does the Tesla tractor weigh? And why is this article flagged?

Starting somewhat earlier, she also mimicked adults pretending, we'd pretend to talk into her toy phone for example, and then she'd do the same. I think in those cases, it was pretty clear she was just mimicking, not pretending.

The play with dolls seems more explicitly pretend though. I dont think she saw adults to it first (though once she started, they definately joined in and reinforced the behavior though). She's still mimicking our behaviors, trying to feed the doll like we feed her, etc. But she uses toy bottles to do so, not the real ones, and she doesn't try to feed other real babies when she encounters them.

I suspect explicit mimicking and pretend play are something of a spectrum. We start trying to exactly copy the adult behavior around us, and then start abstracting bits.
> Fingerprinting is junk science.

How then do you explain the success of Touch ID on Apple devices and the equivalent systems on other phones and tablets?

Random people can't just walk up and unlock a Touch ID device with their fingerprint, which suggests that fingerprints are in fact a very good way to tell people apart.

Yes, it is possible to make a fake fingerprint that Touch ID will not be able to distinguish from my fingerprint. But that fake fingerprint will only unlock my device, not your device, so it is still correctly distinguishing our fingerprints.

Very true, that's why I think sticking to one framework is sooo much better. Because just like you said in JS land "so many options, the decision can be a little more complicated now."

Keeping it simple is were I am at... and if I need something from a python ML library I just connect it through Lambda on AWS or use an API for their data tools. JS is catching up in ML too though.

Even more interesting will be seeing the AI coming is VS code. That might break down many barriers when it comes to winning the framework battle.

Those comparing this to ICE car fire statistics are missing the point. The problem with EV fires is that they're often related to charging. And charging is an active process that happens during the most vulnerable time in a home (for about 10 hours while sleeping). This is a legitimate reason for having fear about EVs. ICE cars are completely off during the same time. It was bad enough with the Bolt EV that GM was recommending overnight charging the car outside the home garage. If this fear is not addressed in a strong way by the car manufacturers, it could sink the entire EV movement since overnight charging at home is the foundation of it.

I shared the same sentiment for a while, but then I thought about it a bit more. How would you implement a HTTP-based validation that really proves that you have control over all subdomains? You might think that you just have to extend the existing validation method to pick a random subdomain, but that won't work:

1. For many domains, you cannot just pick any random subdomain and expect that you can reach a server there.

2. For services where users share the same domain (e.g. *.github.io), proving ownership of a single random subdomain won't be enough, because you could just create that domain as a response to the ACME challenge. But that doesn't prove that you have complete ownership over github.io.

I cannot come up with any HTTP-based validation scheme that would prove ownership of all subdomains for a domain.
A few questions.

First, are you excited (or can you be excited) about this business and the customers (apart from the freedom and money). Do you want to be interacting with these customers for years, because you will be. It's ok if you don't love love love it, but if you hate it, that will be a slog.

What is the exit strategy for your father-in-law? Are you buying it outright, paying him off over a few years, taking out a loan to buy it from him? Will he be hanging around for 6 mos as an employee/consultant?

Do you want to be in the business side? You mention some technical ideas, but as the owner, you might get to play with technology, but most owners I've seen get sucked into the sales side and don't get to do as much tech as they want. Are you ok with that?

What is your best guess at the future of the niche? That obviously plays into valuation and how sustainable the business is? Have you taken a good long hard look at that?

Why is f-i-l selling? Sellers always have more info than buyers, so I'd ask about that.

How does this fit with your career goals? Do you want to improve as a developer? If so, as a generalist (in which case this might be a good move) or as a specialist (in which case this is probably a bad move)? Do you want to work on a team?

Those political processes aren't randomly slow. Someone paid a lot of money to slow them down.

But my point was that the market for paying off politicians is shifting. The Australian ex-PM who repealed a carbon tax is now speaking out against blue hydrogen, because he has a stake in a green hydrogen venture.

The game now is to profit from the inevitable policy response and leave governments and slow responding pension funds to carry the can for the costs of fossil fuel cleanup.
Charge speed is a lot faster than you think and getting better. Play with abetterrouteplanner.com where you can select the vehicle, conditions, and the route.

People also conflate 5 minutes of refueling with 5 minute stops. EVs charge while you go the bathroom, stretch your legs, eat, and anything else you and you passengers might do while stopped. I find in practice if you're roadtripping with more then 1 other person it's basically impossible to go longer than 3 hour legs and stop for less than 15-20 minutes. That's puts you right in range where you spend less than 10 minutes waiting for the car for every 3 hours travelled.
