I guess my perspective (from watching struggles with public health & vaccine development information during early COVID-19) is that modern intellects aren't well exercised with respect to uncertainty.

Our predecessors lived in a culture suffused with unreliable information. There weren't even "alternate" facts, because there were few accepted ones to have alternatives to.

On the one hand, we know more than they did (stronger & longer mandatory education + post-primary + informal access). On the other hand, we've forgotten how to responsibly handle uncertainty.

Or, as I sum it all up: science should be a verb (aka process), not a noun (result).
That seems unlikely. source?
Oh! We work in the same place! Or at least close enough that it doesn’t matter what the actual name is.
You have to be moderately wealthy or live with a lot of land to be able to afford the space to work on cars in some parts of Europe (typically Northern Europe). I would have to rent out a separate space if I wanted to work on my car or vehicle with historical significance.

Also Governments tax old cars out of existence in some countries e.g. in Belgium IIRC I was being told by a friend that vehicles that are essentially deemed to old are made uneconomical to own because of increases in taxes. If you are rich this tax isn't particularly expensive. However if you aren't rich you are essentially forced to get a newer vehicle (which is expensive in itself).

Sure, many aren't, but when VCs are throwing dozens of millions of dollars at you and your only operating expense is employees, it's not hard to have a 5-15 year runway where the only bottleneck in growth is hiring.

I know three Series A corps with a 10+ year runway that have shown up on HN, and they all pay comically well for startups.

I'm not sure how valuable this is really. Most people, I assume, would wholeheartedly agree but since the CC culprits are not 'Christians who cause climate change', then the pope or Archbishop saying what loads of other people are saying is neither surprising nor worth it.

Personally, I would like to see practical ways of acually reducing fossil fuel demands but this is much harder for the church, except in their own properties, and easier for governments.
As long as they pay for it, why not?

Also a ban on new petrol cars I think might not really be necessary if petrol is properly taxed with carbon pricing.
Ask HN: How often do you take breaks while working?
General advice that I have recieved says you should take breaks every 30 mins, especially if the work involves being seated at one place. This also works well with the Promodoro technique. But 30 mins would definitely not cut it for tasks that need prolonged focus. I have also noticed people suggesting taking breaks 90 mins. I wonder what's the optimum frequency of breaks.
If you have Stadia Premium ( not necessary, you can play the free version), GeForce Now, Microsoft Game pass ( which comes with XCloud gaming whatever), you're at <$40 (~$35 if my calculations are correct). There's also the advantage that you can start and stop them at will(per month), so for instance if you go on a vacation for a month and know you won't play at all you can cancel them all ( and even continue playing all the games you've bought on Stadia for free).
> Too often, middle class people infantilise the working class, refuse to accept that they have agency, and ascribe their lives and behaviour to externalities and societal injustice. This doesn't help anyone, it just reinforces the division of society and stops us seeing our neighbour (regardless of class, wealth, etc) as essentially the same as us.

I disagree, at least to some degree.

My counterpoint is to merely point to the “fundamental attribution bias” as being the usual direction of human cognitive biases.

The general idea is to “enable” people to have more agency and to give them the tools and support they need to make informed, self-interested decisions. The idea is not to blame externalities directly.

I had a look at emClient but the trial ran out before I could evaluate it, lol. I'll spend money but not without evaluating it first.

I need:
- good search
- flexibility of outbound "from" address
- strong rules and filters. Ability to run external script on an incoming mail would be a game changer.

"cornering performance is atrocious"

Weight in corners hurts you in terms of acceleration out (which is not a problem for Tesla) and by the turning force required to change the momentum direction.

BUT that weight also gets you increased downforce and traction, regardless of aero performance at the time. You can essentially treat your car like it has an F1 wing that never stalls.

The result is 5000lb which breaks the four-door nurburgring record.

That's probably true, but that doesn't help the narrative and so people lobbying for an exception to the rule will ignore that point.

Frankly, even though I'm Italian, I think that there should be no exception.

Getting used to Thunderbird's appearance is probably worth it. It's just a question of habit and the UI itself is very efficient.

(first let me say I'm all for the ban if ICE are banned and I'm against an exception for Ferrari).

But.. common... everybody knows oldtimers cars aren't really on the road. Most collectible cars belong to people who own several cars and they very rarely hit the road.

That is precisely why the insurance is so cheap. I've got both an old Porsche and an old Ferrari and I pay 160 EUR a year to insure them both (100 for the first one, and 60 for the second one, as I've got a "fleet": two is a fleet, that's kinda funny).

People not only never drive these cars, they're also ultra cautious with them when they take them out. It's because they do so little kilometers/miles yearly and because people are so cautious that the insurance costs next to nothing.

They're more art pieces / garage queens than cars: remnants of a less civilized era.

Also... My insurance is ultra cheap but there's a gotcha: I need to have an insured daily less than 15 years old, otherwise I need to pay the regular insurance price for my two oldtimers. So it's not really true that people pay less: they pay less but only because they need to have a "real" car to benefit from the cheaper insurance.

These old cars are also typically huge gaz guzzlers, doing easily 3x to 4x the fuel consumption of a modern car: so using it on a daily basis would, in the end, cost you much much more than using a modern car.

I hope these exceptions for oldtimers will stay and that, at least once in a while, they'll be authorized on the road: say maybe allowed on the roads one saturday every month or something like that.

P.S: btw it's not just the insurance that is cheaper: oldtimers are typically exempt from the yearly road tax (in the countries where such a tax exists).

They broke the record for production EVs, not for all four door cars. In a test that was also officiated by Tesla themselves, so not very credible. In 2017 a Civic type R could do a faster lap time than Plaid does in 2021: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YSjItQneNM&feature=youtu.be
The Lab-Leak Debate Just Got Even Messier
It actually makes a lot of sense. I personally don't want to touch .Net langs because of their PascalCase and camelCase coding style which I find very unfortunate arbitrary decision. And well, didn't really want to get into Nim because of camelCase but since I've learned about this feature I'm reconsidering again.
I strongly believe platforms should be forced to allow interoperability and it should be illegal to prevent or frustrate access from other clients or services.

The idea that someone hosting a product on the internet should be able to control how I access my data or services is utter nonsense and it’s amazing that we’ve allowed it to become the norm.

This should include interoperability that allows “unbundling” such as using a site/app’s messaging feature alone with a different client or service and replacing the platform’s feed curation algorithms with your own or third party algos.

If they can’t make money under these conditions, tough. They either need to start charging for the core product instead of extracting value in hidden ways, improve their own money making services so people don’t go elsewhere, or die.

Guys, two points here. One, this proposal was rejected. This did not happen! Two, their proposal was for genetic manipulation of an existing virus, which research on the existing corona virus shows was not the case.

This has nothing to do with the corona virus strains we are currently dealing with, and more importantly, there has never been any credible research proving that Covid was made in a lab. The only paper that got any traction suggested it was non-manipulation based gain of function research, but that was disproved only a few weeks after the paper's release as well. I know we all want to know where it came from, but the odds against us ever having actual evidence of it being from a lab are virtually zero. And no, rejected research proposals do not constitute proof of anything.
ICE vehicles are more affordable for the people that buy cars and motorcycles to get to work without having to depend on public transportation.

Also, notwithstanding Dinoco, oil does not come from dinosaurs.

I'm concerned about all the batteries we'll have to dispose of if we transition to only electric vehicles.

I hope I'm wrong, but I think the only sustainable option long-term is to give up having individual engine-powered transportation, ICE or otherwise (and I say this as someone who loves cars).

There is some fantastic tooling for machine learning.

Databricks, GCP, everyone knows it.

The issue is that the data industry was raised from birth in complete fear of the boogeyman.

The boogeyman is Oracle. And the frankly ridiculous things Oracle did in the bad old days.

Hence most places have a constant internal conflict between "look here are all these brilliant data science tools" and "ah shit, GCP costs a ton of money when some idiot runs a select * query on a join across 5 TB of data."

But there are plenty of great tools.
This is so weird for me.

Where I work (backend software development), we do video calls and meetings all the time. Probably an hour every day or more is spent in direct contact. I see this as absolutely essential to get people on the same page - but none of the reasons that people have listed in this thread for why people prefer personal meetings apply to me. For instance, I am extremely grateful if someone writes up meeting notes, I read text documents all the time, and I often require continuous uninterrupted time and respect it in others, and I still prefer voiced meetings.

I think the primary reason is if I am trying to clarify an idea for a design or an approach, I will go to the people who have also touched that field of difficulty, and try to explain what I am trying to do to them in advance. The spoken medium in that case gives room for interruptions, immediate elaborations and feedback. A write-up either convinces or it doesn't; it can be edited but it has feedback cycles on the order of tens of minutes to hours. Spoken communication has feedback cycles of seconds, so even if I was going to write something up, I'd talk it through verbally first, anyways.

This has nothing to do with that. Especially considering how electric cars are still way too expensive for the working class.

The EU is just out of touch with car manufacturing. They are to blame for the SUV-epidemic in Europe. Basically they are making laws that sound good on paper but unrealistic in real world scenarios. Consumption and emission levels are skewed by the hybrid motors in the SUV. The laws are written so the mini cars like the Volkswagen Up are just not financially worth to produce. So in conclusion, the laws that were supposed to reduce the CO2 emissions actually made everything worse.

Tesla, again, twisted everything into their favor here, so they could market themselves better than they are.

According to the official Nürburgring Record Database, Tesla only beat SUVs and compact cars (Audi RS3). All other ICEs were a lot faster than the Plaid. Even a Porsche Panamera Turbo S, which is a 4-door sedan.

Also yes performance is lower when the battery isn't topped up, but "degraded" is a bit dramatic. It's less significant than, say, tire-wear.

The difference between movies and games is that popular games become entire entertainment platforms on their own. Fortnites revenue is about 20% of Netflix entire revenue, it would be really hard to convince them to join some subscription service.

And the second point, for games using a subscription service isn't cheaper. Fortnite is free to play, most people doesn't pay much so spending all your time in Fortnite and not using those subscriptions is the cheapest option for entertainment.

Indeed. And one of the reason EVs like Teslas and the Porsche Taycan corner so well even though they're incredibly heavy is also that their center of gravity is so low, due to the batteries being at the bottom of the car.
For me the things that sticks out is that they found the origin of the original sars in mere months, but nothing when it comes to Sars-cov-2. I don’t know how big animal reservoirs can be tbh.
