LinkedIn is in a weird place. It’s half a networking tool and half a recruiting tool. In my opinion photos are fine for networking but should be verboten for hiring and recruiting.

In truth, I really don’t know what to think about photos for LinkedIn. Both sides of the argument are compelling.
> NHTSA issued a notice saying it could impose higher penalties for prior model years for automakers failing to meet fuel efficiency requirements.

Pretty sure buying an average used ICE car will net MUCH less emissions than what's required for building and using a brand new tesla.

The issue with plastic bags is overblown and banning them doesn't solve the actual issue it just makes as all feel like we are doing something. Waste management is the problem. Sure excessive use of plastic should be prevented but what is more important is what happens after it has been used. Landfills are a horrible solution as trash is in the open and can migrate to water ways etc. Ideally all trash should be incinerated and the waste gases cleaned and captured. The heat can be used to generate power. The plastic should also be manufactured in such a way that it burns as clean as possible.
In other words, rumors are started because people imagined cross-code commits to be something more than it really was.

A company wants to use regulation to harm their competitors?! How shocking.

Sarcasm aside the only surprising part about this misuse of regulation is how blatantly obvious the motivations are.

For what it’s worth I am not opposed to fuel efficiency standards, but it seems to make a lot more sense to just use the existing lever and raise gas taxes, instead of trying to circumvent them by applying pressure to the market directly.

> "読む為に"

You can’t have suru work on a verb, so the author turns the verb “to read” into a noun by adding the no.

The kanji for suru and the lack of a wo kinda hides what is going on.

> Why does my TV need updates nowadays? My car?

Because they're connected to the internet or to internet-connected networks.

Anything that's connected to the internet needs to be receiving at least security updates. If it's not connected to the internet, it's your call whether the update is worthwhile

If you don't want to update it, don't connect it to the internet. Easy.

If you want to connect it to the internet, you need to accept the rules of society and one of those is don't leave vulnerable systems online where they can become part of a botnet and mess things up for the rest of us.

I could not care less about your data, but we've seen with hacked security cameras and such that insecure crap left on the internet causes problems for everyone, not just their owners.

MPG equivalent externalizes fuel production, which when charging your car at night - is primarily done by burning coal.

If you burned gasoline to make magic wizard juice and then powered your car off of that, it does not make the car any better for the environment.
the law is not meant to punish companies but to reduce e-waste. if everyone uses the same charger there is no need for a new one every time you buy a new device
I don't disagree, but I think there is a lot of nuance to it. Thiel is an ardent disciple of Rene Girard. If people want insight into how Thiel sees the world, I would strongly recommend reading The Straussian Moment. There is a Peter Robinson interview about the essay that can serve as a good primer[1].

80-90 years of mobility or 85-95 years trapped in one place is not a hard choice to make, especially when 60+ of those years are still in the future.

Yes, the pollution from cars is terrible. I lived by a major freeway for three years. No, the solution is not to give up all their benefits. For one thing, SF could actually enforce air quality standards inside apartment buildings, especially those near the freeways. Also future storm drain systems could be designed to settle out microplastics (many storm systems do have settling/collection ponds anyway).
You assume those restrictions work. This has not been proven at all.

The reality is all these restrictions could very well be taking a bad situation and making it 100x worse.

I highly encourage comparing public data between regions and across policy changes. There is very little correlation between restrictions and impact to key metrics. See for yourself: https://www.covidchartsquiz.com/

"As you might expect, developers love this new feature—anything that can provide them with more information regarding how users are interacting with their apps is a positive."

Here I am deliberately designing apps that track no user interaction data at all. Maybe that's why Google doesn't even list my app even though it's one of the longest running "web apps" alive and used to be listed #1 when it first came out. Now they have more ads for similar apps than search results on a search results page.

If the founders are around... trying to understand their economics. They claim to sell Jet A at the market clearing price. Jet A goes for $0.45/L. The lowest industrial electricity rates in the US are $0.05/kWh (double that in California where they are selling today.) With 100% efficiency, no capital costs and no other opex, you get $0.05/kWh * 9.5 kWh/L = $0.47/L electrofuel Jet A. How can that work?

The bits of the old financial system which duplicate bitcoin (doing simply electronic transactions) are very efficient.

I see no reason all the other stuff wouldn't still be around in a world where bitcoin replaced the dollar.

Also, there is no way bitcoin can come close to scaling to even a tiny fraction of the transactions which happen every day.

Sure, but like Trump, it seems pretty clear that Mr. Thiel deploys rhetoric mostly just to get attention and not to make a consistent argument. He and the people like him live for the moment, always trying to exert influence but ultimately having no other goal than simply to win.
There are many ways to re-internalize the costs of CO2-producing energy use, such as putting a carbon tax on energy providers which emit CO2.

In contrast, writing specific policies to target (specific uses of) specific cryptocurrencies, without exempting the renewable energy used in their production, and without targeting other "frivolous" uses of energy, would be an inelegant approach.

My father had this complaint about just about all cars manufactured post 1985(ish). Up until then, he, himself, could repair his own car for most issues with a basic set of tools that most people already had in their houses. Then they started putting computers and proprietary parts in, making it so that he had to take it to a dealership or repair shop who had the specialized multi-thousand dollar equipment to read the chips. Define "repairable." It was still repairable, just not by him.

It won't be a few cents because few cents/gal isn't going to get the behavior change that is the point of the tax.

The fundamental issue here is that you need to take what a lot of people currently see as their best option (driving an ICE car) and make that sufficiently worse so that the next best option is the one tons of people choose.

Anything that gets the behavior change will necessarily screw a lot of people.

If you're interested in split keyboards, check out the Keyboard.io Model 100[1], which will be shipping in January. They're a reputable company, having already successfully sold the Model 01 and Atreus with great success. Jesse and Kaia are great folk and send regular updates on the production.

Why Model 100 over other split boards like the Moonlander or Ergodox? 1. Sculpted keycaps take the ortholinear split board to another level of comfort (and help recognize which keys your fingers are on). 2. It's $55 cheaper than Moonlander. 3. The palm key allows you to layers without having to move your hand. 4. Aesthetics?

I've been using a Model 01 for the past few years and other typing experiences can't compare. I'm waiting for a Model 100 now so I can switch to its better (MX-style) switches.

There's not much reason to expect this to happen systematically in the realm of regulation. As George Stigler put it, regulation is purchased by the industry for the benefit of the industry. This data fits that story.
Only if it considers the total emissions required for making and using a particular vehicle. If I buy a 10 year old civic to drive for the next 5 years, I will be producing MUCH less emissions than what's released when building and using a brand new tesla. This will never happen though, because the virtue-signalling 'green' politicians and companies still have a bottom line which is MUCH more important for them than any real improvement.

Ah yes… the circular, self-referential argument for all these restrictions.

Cases down? Keep the restrictions, they clearly are working! Cases up? Keep the restrictions, we still need them! And the cycle continues forever.

Nowhere does anybody actually ask “do the restrictions actually work?”. The answer seems to be “not really”. Compare data and see for yourself: https://www.covidchartsquiz.com/

I like how client and server code is separated, but I do wonder how changes in expressions are evaluated.

I'm thinking about autocomplete that on new user input (needle='ad') filters previous result from server (needle='a') in the client before server returns a new response from new input (needle='ad').

Essentially can inner parts of expression update even when they are somewhat dependent on reactive data from server that comes from their parent expression?
