> And the Volt was never the 'EV with a range extending ICE' that it was portrayed as, anyway.

That isn't true, the Gen1 Volt did.

The Gen1 and Gen2 Volts were very different AND they were very different from other hybrids.

The Gen1 Volt uses a single planetary gear similar to the Toyota and Ford Hybrids but had two electric motors referred to as the traction and generation motors. There was a clutch connecting the ICE to the generation motor and two clutches connecting the generation motor to the planetary gear. Under most operating conditions the ICE was off and physically disconnected from the generation motor and drivetrain.

The Gen1 Volt would operate in pure EV mode using just the traction motor at low speeds or using both electric motors at higher speeds until the pack depleted to a predetermined buffer level.

When the pack was depleted down to the buffer level, the generation motor would be disengaged from the drivetrain and couple to the ICE, the ICE would kick on and operate in Range Extending mode generating power via the generation motor for the traction motor. The ICE would operate with a wide open throttle at peak efficiency but physically disconnected from the drivetrain.

When in Range Extending mode, if you had a high power demand (e.g. operating at 100mph) then one of clutches would connect the generation motor to the planetary gear to allow the ICE to provide power to the drivetrain.

In the Gen1 Volt the vehicle could not be driven just by the ICE and undermost circumstances the ICE only acted to generate electricity and not to directly drive the wheels.

In the Gen2 Volt they switched to a dual planetary gear system with just two clutches that allowed for greater flexibility and efficiency but eliminated the ability run in Range Extending mode where the ICE was only used to generate electricity.
Health and safety requirements. If testing and contact tracing isn't properly done it can be a problem, but as you said is it worse than black market conditions with zero oversight and safety stands? Probably not. The real risk is a lack of health insurance, retirement benefits, and taxable wage by allowing the black market conditions to exist. From a problematic standpoint is the "hostile work environment" claims if sex workers become legitimate.

> “We know people hate passwords,” Vasu Jakkal, Microsoft’s corporate vice president of security, compliance and identity, said in an emailed statement

Password managers have largely solved the 'password problem'. Also: Microsoft doesn't even support hardware keys like Yubikeys. I tried to add a Yubikey to my MS account, and the only option was TOTP, which I hate using because it relies on silly apps. I much prefer physical hardware keys like Yubikeys which use the U2F standard.
Most likely nothing, but most companies seem to have the expectation that OSS has to take a backseat
Unfortunately, having a unique ability is no guarantee for not being treated like dirt, history tells us. E.g. look at how women have been treated historically up to recently.
Both the NATO and the USSR deployed tactical nuclear weapons on attack submarines during the Cold War. The US Navy used the TLAM-N cruise missile from 1983-2010, the SUBROC antisubmarine rocket from 1964-1989, and the Mark 45 ASTOR torpedo from 1959-1976.
I've been working through HackerRank, LeetCode, etc - they have nothing to do with actual software development. And most of them rely on knowing some obscure algorithm or "trick" to solve, which you wouldn't do in real life - you'd Google the problem, possibly add a dependency, and be about your business.

But I've also been in technical interviews where the problem was used as a discussion point, rather than a challenge, and I get that use case - though "let's build a web server" might be a better problem to solve collaboratively.
If it ain’t censorship, I don’t know but this went from front page to page 3 in 5 minutes or less.

This is why I’m growing more and more discontent with HN.

Either it was unpopular with the crowd, or the mods. Either way, though, f** manipulated discourse and whoever is instrumentally responsible.
Or group servers for a search query. This simple feature would be a game changer.
In HCOL areas of the US, 10% down is becoming more common with private lenders and 5% is even a possibility (or at least was pre-pandemic). Pre-pandemic we had multiple competing banks for a $1MM+ mortgage w/ 10% down.
As the other comments point out, reddit has cultural problems, but I just want to say that I love old reddit's interface. It's compact, unlike forums where people's signatures and profile pictures take up half the vertical space, messages and message indentation is clear, unlike new reddit, and most importantly conversations are threaded, unlike traditional forums where everything is a mess of intertwined conversations of people replying to each other.
TIL that Linux has pluggable congestion control algorithms.

Anyone know if there's one that can deal with severe buffer boat? I have a connection where I control both ends and I have seen ping times exceed 20s under load. Throughput is highly variable so I can't just throttle the connection.
Right, so do you have any examples of rising productivity driving up wages for minimum wage jobs?
> previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional

Exactly. In addition, the vaccine is vastly less life-threatening than acquiring natural immunity. In addition, the vaccine is more effective against the original variant and is very successful in that regard. The same will hold true when Pfizer/Moderna "print" updated vaccines.
Deutsche Bank have repeatedly been caught doing highly questionable things. I don’t think German capital considers itself subject to those same cultural constraints — quite the opposite in fact.
i quit my software job and bought 20 acres of undeveloped farmland. then i got a job on a framing crew so i could learn to build my own house. built a polebarn on the land so far. and getting ready to dig a foundation probably next year.

its been the most exciting fulfilling adventure of my life so far. just got first harvest last month.
Some of the best chats I've ever had have been on niche Internet Message Boards using some of the worst technology run by people who didn't understand how to run a website. But the communities were so tight-knit and dedicated to their conversation topic and produced brilliant and entertaining ideas.

And sadly most modern search engines don't rank these conversations highly in searches. There's a treasure trove of unbelievable hidden ideas out there that you'll never come across because search algorithms prioritize garbage, corporate churned content.
As a game engineer I can relate. Many of these deep technical areas are completely unknown to people outside of gaming / modeling / animation / graphics, and even then you are way outside my expertise with optical/pre-digital work. It is a great point that interviewers focused on typescript or redux (just to mention stuff worth knowing but that seem far from C++ graphics coding) won’t get the nuance of your technical contributions. It then becomes a storytelling challenge, which is a different interviewing skill entirely.

Can't edit but wanted to add: If you're not able to select IA for some reason, and don't know who to choose, might I suggest researching a bit on the "Sea Shepherds" project. They're real life pirates protecting the ocean - total badasses, and they're also available on Amazon Smile.
Billionaire Mathematician [video]
Well yeah, and Microsoft is the world's most experienced software company and a superscaler who really knows how to secure infrastructure well, you really can't hope to compete with their security teams, right up to the part where their images come with a garbage port of their WMI garbage containing uncountably infinite LPEs and RCEs running with uid=0.
If you're a manager of a forum and are considering doing this, I would encourage you to look at discourse.org. It's mobile friendly, looks great and easy to install. They have a one-click DO setup, which requires only a little technical knowhow and is extremely affordable.

I've managed a community—Product Notes—for several years on the platform and it has been fantastic.

Thats unbelievable. So they purposefully fucked with the car design to sell some juice? Beancounters beware. I wonder who it was that pitched such an unconscionable asinine idea. It seems like there were some missing NO men as well.
> At Apple? Maybe not.

Chris Lattner (inventor of LLVM and Swift) was pretty prominent when he was at Apple. He got stage time during at least one keynote and was well known in the macOS/iOS community. Not to mention that their engineering leads in general get to present their work every year to the devs who will be using it during the WWDC sessions.
I'm sure there are senior folk out there that would love to help. But the value most senior folk can offer tends to be specific to the organization - they know exactly how the tech stack works, they understand the business and the customer and what choices have been made in the product design.

You really need someone internal to fulfill this role. Otherwise you end up in a position where you are outsourcing your proprietary domain expertise, while having a staff of code monkeys. It should be the other way around.
>Don't build a custom house either. A simple home will make the process go smoothly.

I don’t get why simplicity isn’t more of a thing. Complexity is just asking for extra maintenance and the very high likelihood of something being done wrong.
I'm interested in chatting with you about this, and genomics on Spark more generally, feel free to reach out on Github or via my username at the usual suspects.
Demand Shocks Open a New Marketplace Era
Looking for a way to deploy a C4 modelling capability was the context in which I first bumped into this product. The last time I looked at C4 it was basically just a concept, I don't know if they have fleshed out a spec or not, but Ilograph can be used to build out something that meets it in spirit at a minimum.
Ben Shapiro says secession may be “the best hope” for conservatives
My point is that electronics should be prohibitively expensive. They have a lot of expensive parts in them. Today's budget iPhone should be something like $2000.
I did this exact think back in 2012 with a PhoneGap/Apache Cordova app. It had to use Xcode to run the app in the iOS Emulator. So I spun up a virtual machine on my Linux box. It worked extraordinarily well!

In the case of the poster you are replying to. Yes, Swift is open source and there are compilers for other platforms. The problem comes in with Apple's SDK and their proprietary libraries. Those are what are required to build an app that'll run on an iOS device. Those only run on macOS/OSX.
As someone who does consulting now similar to what was described, I would say the pros and cons in this article are totally on point. I'm not sure it's for everyone, but it's been great for me and I've learned a shit tonne that I couldn't have learned anywhere else. I get exposure to so many successful companies at inflection points and they have to tell me everything. You don't get that from blogs or conferences or books where they only tell you what they want the public to hear.

That said, at other points in my career I have been totally freelance, worked on a product team, and worked in an agency, and I would also say that each of those is hugely valuable and teaches you unique things. If I was advising a young and hungry tech worker, I would suggest they get a year or two of experience doing all four if they can.
If music is playing in a public area then it logically shares the same right to record as photographing someone in public. The infringement lies on the side of the person playing a licensed song in a public venue
I think I want a BBS. Text mode, fixed width font, keyboard-driven menus, no (or very little) bitmapped graphics. I've been thinking about the UIs for a lot of sites that I use to "do things" on the web. E.g. search for flights. Do I need any of that "beautiful" web design with pretty forms and fonts, bevelled edges, drop shadows, drop-down menus, hovers? Hell, do I even need a map? Heck no, I need three text entry fields and output a bulleted list, maybe table of results. Just give me the raw data and do as little presentation as possible, thanks.

I really think I want an internet console, not an animated magazine.
This is really good; I'll actually use it!
The Universe’s children: Born as lively teenagers and older than their parents
I’m going to be downvoted for this, but I love discord for communities. GitHub issues for tracking long-standing bugs or feature requests, and discord for more granular, spontaneous support queries is great. The new Threads feature is nice, the amount of control and automation with channels and bots opens up endless possibilities. Not to mention the search is powerful and blazing fast. Forums feel sluggish and dated in comparison. I spend an hour or more providing support in the Svelte discord, and I love it.
There is e.g. [1] which doesn't paint a pretty picture.

I don’t thinks so… it’s relatively difficult to get different phone numbers so it’s a good way to limit spam.

Plus in the real world, it’s also a way of separating your identities. I have a work number and personal number, and only attach the work number to business services. Sure, it won’t prevent Google from banning all your accounts but for everyone else it’s a hard barrier to correlating that you are the same person. Added to the fact that my work laptop uses VPN, and I’m pretty sure that sites like GitHub have no idea I have multiple accounts.
> Pro-tip: most fasteners (nails and screws) are not "structural"; they hold wood in place, but they don't support weight. That's why eg windows are framed the way they are, instead of just nailing a 2x4 between two others; it allows each piece of wood to be supported directly by another.

Very good tip. So very often I see decks (for example) built improperly, relying on non structural fasteners to hold it all together. This kind of stuff tends to fail in a number of years. I've seen a few collapsed porch roofs for the same reasons. Make sure your fasteners are rated for how they're used. A general rule of thumb is that wood sits on wood, not attached to the side.
It seems to me, reading on the relation between Australia and China, that Australia tends to have a superiority complex. Australia is a country of 25 million: they are no match to China or any other major powers, so whilst it is of course right for them to defend their interests I don't see how their current aggressive rhetoric can lead to anything positive.
I fully disagree, learning category theory (& friends) in undergrad does more harm than good.

An undergrad curriculum is expository in nature, the main goals being diversity of topics and developing a maturity.

Maturity is the biggest prerequisite to approaching cat theory imo. Similarly, without examples and non-examples from various fields, cat theory will feel like esperanto for its own sake. Given this, cat theory should not fall into undergrad territory, but will be present in any grad program.

Categories should show up naturally in Algebra/Algebraic topology, and not much elsewhere (in undergrad). Saying 'category of vector spaces over k' in a (linear) algebra course is effectively a waste of breath due to how little additional insight it provides.
This is a fascinating tool, I estimated that the corpus of the factual web was between 1 and 10 TB when I last played around with BigQuery using domain names which had low amounts of click bait. Seeing these search results I suspect my estimate was off by a couple orders of magnitude.

Although a search for "Fractional Reserve Banking" shows that some further ranking improvements can be made to exclude unrelated results, and potentially penalize old conspiracy sites.

I had to pass on it previously because it was hosted, the self-hosting + confluence support for next year will definitely put it in the running.
It is not possible to eradicate SARS-CoV-2. We eradicated smallpox and (almost) polio because we had highly sterilizing vaccines and no animal hosts. That situation doesn't obtain with SARS-CoV-2.
Vaccines are highly effective at preventing deaths and I do encourage vaccination, but vaccinated people can still catch and spread the virus. They are probably less contagious on average, but unfortunately that isn't enough to control community spread.

I love it. Even though it didn't give me the results I was looking for. I searched "new york fishing license", and it didn't give me any links to the actual new york fishing license websites. But it did give me a ton of really cute little websites related to lakes and fishing in New York. This one has amazing information about fishing all over Western New York: http://www.huntfishnyoutdoors.com/fishing.php
Would be neat if there were materials. Code for this has just started to trickle out earlier this year at https://github.com/google/ghost-userspace and https://github.com/google/ghost-kernel, but Google has been talking in public about userspace scheduling since 2013.

Discord accounts have hidden (until someone uses a bunch of hacking tools known as "dev tools") IDs which uniquely identify an account and never change. The username#1234 stuff is pure fluff. The per-server thing is also just an alias on the server, it still shows the foo#1234 name if you click on a profile.
Its best to stop bullies well before they have a chance to start causing real trouble. That was a lesson learnt the hard way in the 1930s.

If you mean by whining, protesting about the treatment of minorities in China, then you may have different values to Australia.

I assume that cheap stuff outnumbers nice stuff by a few orders of magnitude, just like every other consumer facing industry.
Quality is rare. As they say, 80% of everything is shit. If you want actual news, you need to talk to lots of people, preferably in person but also by (e)mail, who are close to the event in some way. That, or they have extensively studied some topic close to the event you want to inform yourself about.

This is really the only way to even get close to the truth. Every time I have read a news article on a subject I am an expert on, or about me, or about my family or friends, it was so glaringly wrong that anyone else who read it is now less informed than before. Sometimes not just in the facts, which might be mostly correct, but in the false narratives they present.
I remember when I used to post to stackoverflow (havent in years at this point), if I asked a question I would literally get harassed if I did not mark of the answers as correct. One of many reasons I stopped participating. It's a user hostile experience.
Since anti-satellite missiles could cause debris issues for everyone, would it be feasible for an adversary to launch a silicone payload at an enemy satellite, with the intention that any optics would be rendered unusable through some electro-static attraction between the satellite and the silicone?
Sure, but they also will have a much more difficult time getting the type of VC money American startups get.
I worked with a large publisher many years ago and had meetings with Genius. They were just awful to deal with and really demonstrated a "we don't care about the consequences for you" attitude (and by this I mean: potential for trolling, abuse, and reputation risk - not financial).

It was a sobering experience given I deeply admired what they had done - technically and culturally - at the time.
Strange take. In 40+ years, I've never needed a gun to defend myself. Nor do I even _know anyone_ that needed to use a gun to lawfully defend themselves.

So why should we all have something that A) the lawful uses of such are exceedingly rare, and B) ends up involved in a lot of unlawful or unintentional killings.
I'll try to express my point from a different angle. If E2EE were unavailable for adults, it would probably be easier for law enforcement to investigate sexual abuse cases in which adults are the victims. But, it would also prevent adults from enjoying the security and privacy benefits of E2EE and the protection E2EE affords against having their messages intercepted (which is something advertisers, hostile governments, and other adverse intermediaries regularly do). Many adults would not trade away the ability to use E2EE in exchange for a more empowered law enforcement.

Child sex abuse may be a more severe crime than adult sex abuse, but aside from how certain crimes are sentenced, E2EE benefits children just as much as it benefits adults. Before arguing that E2EE should be unavailable for children, I would consider whether the argument holds up if E2EE were revoked for adults as well.
As useful as discord is for its primary purpose, it's probably also one of the worst development for communities in the last decades. Discord is a chat, not a forum, nor a wiki. It's just not meant to make knowledge accessible. And even proper discussion are barely possible after a certain group size.

But on the other side, it's a very well protected walled garden, and communities can distance themselves from the rest of the world there quite well. Not really sure whether it's good to have so many communities growing in the shadows, outside the public attention.
Correct. Though sometimes apps also store little files as local databases, effectively, and switching versions of the apps can jack with that file as well. Making rollbacks more difficult
I can see why anti-rape self-defense is a popular rhetoric as gun ownership has indeed prevented crimes, and not being raped is a very good thing. Unfortunately, it's also used often as an emotional sales tactic, causing people who shouldn't be in possession of a gun to be in possession of one, resulting in unnecessary injury and death.

Coupled with the fact that even if you arm every single person capable with a gun, there's still going to be crime, you have to consider a balance. Some countries are doing very well without them.
