If you include indirect effects, lots and lots of our actions and choices become morally charged. It's a good thing to include that in one's thinking, at least if you want to get higher than average in terms of ethical thinking, but it quickly becomes untenable if taken as an absolute.

Opting for not taking the stairs and using an elevator instead probably has some kind of a statistical relationship to needing hospital care. Choosing a sport or physical activity that includes a greater risk if injury is, in some sense, ethically worse than choosing one that gives the same benefits with a lower statistical risk of causing strain on the healthcare system. Technically, if you live in an area where snow and ice are present in winter, wearing wrist braces (or maybe even a helmet) while walking would reduce your risk of needing medical care in case of a fall. (The need for medical care for injuries to limbs due to falls is an actual thing.)

It turns out most of these are actually social or personal choices. You can analyse the statistical risk and the expected cost to healthcare and end up with different costs for various activities, but just the fact that there is a statistical or potential cost matters little.
> Money has strong network effects, so it's not possible for Monero to win even if it was marginally better. It's a game of winner takes all.

Yeah and it sucks. I hate how popular bitcoin is despite being the worst cryptocurrency in existence. Meanwhile, monero can actually be used as private digital cash right now but nobody knows about it.

> However, Lightning Network makes bitcoin more fungible and private, so I'm not worried about that.

It also makes it less decentralized. What's the point of the blockchain if you need this high level stuff?

I would point out that businesses should not be a privilege allowed to exist by legislators or allowed to grow to a certain size by the same.

Second, I'd suggest that having large centralized organizations can only benefit legislatures as they have few sources to work with when either requesting data or bringing them to speak in front of Congress for yet another show trial.
I have to praise Netflix here for getting this right. They don't do pidly raises. They look at how much they have to offer to get good candidates in the door, and they give everyone doing the same work a raise up to that level. Some years I got 20%+ raises (and so did all of my peers). Almost no one left Netflix for more money. If they left it was either to do work they couldn't do at Netflix, to get a much larger scope (like going from manager to director), or to start their own company.
Easy to do. I stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake once. First impulse is to step harder, until you realize what’s going on. If your realization is slow, bad things can happen.

If bad things happen, the tendency is to blame someone else.

When Prohibition was active in both the US and Canada, St. Pierre & Miquelon was the place buy smuggle booze into Canada (and the USA).

In recent times, it was the source of tax-free, cheap Canadian cigarettes and Canadian booze. Neither of which the local French population consume, but are more than happy to sell it to Newfoundlanders visiting :-)

Pro tip: there’s people other than Mark Zuckerberg who own those super-voting shares in Facebook, who keep his power unchecked. One of them is considered a darling investor in Silicon Valley and pretends to be a voice of social justice (and funds a lot of that sort of stuff).

When your politicians put random employees and other paid shills in front of committees as proof that they’re being “tough on Facebook,” understand that it’s a giant charade. It’s only when they call the super-voting shareholders and the board that something serious is going on. These are the people who think you’re all too stupid to know how the game works.
It's extremely valuable in Emacs for the same reason it's questionable in other contexts. It lets one person reach out across any scope distance and tweak behavior. Which is exactly what you want when you're configuring your text editor. And exactly what you don't want when you're writing a program for other end users that multiple people are working on.

Emacs Lisp will, I expect, never ever drop 'defvar' dynamic binding. It would break the entire world -- it's relied on far too widely to revoke. Having lexical binding alongside as we do now is probably sufficient.

Hasn't Tesla now been consistently posting profits?
Ah yes, most companies just buy batteries from Panasonic and shove them in their cars, but the galaxy brains at Tesla instead buy batteries from Panasonic and shove them into “custom modules” which is clearly materially different.

I would be very appreciated if somebody could answer me :)

First of all:
1) I'm a self-taught developer
2) I spend last year building my app on MERN stack

The problem with JavaScript technologies is that you have to add many dependencies into your project. Each module / library / framework has their own documentation which is time consuming if you are self-taught to go through it

The question really is:
- Is .NET or any other framework so called "battery included" ? or I also need to add hundreds of dependencies i.e. authentication -> password hashing, jsonwebtokens etc..
- As .NET or any other framework requires more code vs Node.js -> does it pay off later on during refactoring? Means is it more productive vs any JS framework?

I'm really considering to spend next year learning C# with .NET because being solo dev it's really time consuming constantly monitor what did change and what needs to be refactored. JS stack doesn't help with maintaining the project in a long run (or I have limitted knowledge) it is really time consuming stack tbh

I agree that creating a simple CRUD app for web course it is easy but if you need to do something more advanced...

Should I start learning C# ? or .NET also require thousands of depedencies i.e. file upload (multer docs!!! Man I know them almost by heart now...)

You'll want to be sure to test FITS thoroughly for your use case. It really needs some love. It's using some outdated tools and has a number of bugs.

I think theres something else going on here, it's a bet that traditional car manufacturers cannot make the full shift to electronic vehicles. Tesla should not have been able to capture the market like they did.
But the least successful art is in every measure bad. I mean for example the movies that score 1.0-2.0 in imdb. But yeah, perhaps the comic book movies are not unlike Wordpress.
We'll just block their blocking attempts.
> They're all in different manufacturing maturity place

That's true, but the electric car race began with the Model 3 and is going to continue to outpace Rivian 50x next year if the volume expectation are correct [on both sides]. Rivian coming out with these cars is unlikely to capture much of the market anyways, given they're both over $65k. It's like Rivian's 10 years behind Tesla in maturity (besides their range figures), and their only saving grace might be the Amazon electric delivery vehicle contract.
Correct, but you seem to have disregarded half my comment. ECUs are not failure-proof and fail all the time.

I've never heard of anyone dying due to ECU failure either..I'm not sure how that would even happen given all the critical systems on a car are mechanical first with electronic assist. So you can't lose steering, braking, etc. The worst that happens is you lose power, which is about the same risk as a subpar standard transmission driver stalling out (and can also happen in a number of different ways). Can you expand on how an ECU failing might kill you?

I would love if someone could elaborate on why I'm wrong instead of drive by downvoting. This isn't reddit.

I haven't heard of kratom being used by non-addicts, so I'm not surprised you wouldn't like it - it's like a non-smoker using nicotine patches. It's mainly used by people detoxing from stronger opioids.

I did it when I was coming off heroin (locked myself in my parents' country house for a fortnight or so, took ibogaine and kratom for withdrawals, came out fatigued but basically well). Even then, I found it extremely acrid and unappetising, and not even the resulting 'high' was particularly pleasant. I wouldn't ever take it if I weren't experiencing brutal heroin withdrawals.
More useful is a bullshit metric.

You seemed to take all of this as an attack against you personally,
I assure you it was not, please calm down.

No one said there was a better source, only that Wikipedia is far from perfect.

No specifics need be given Wikipedia when its a truism that Wikipedia can be edited by anyone.

Nevertheless here[1] is a page from Wikipedia about the reliability of Wikipedia.

Wrong. Tesla has custom designs from form factor to chemistry.

Panasonic was crucial at the begining with their own designed\made 18650. their role is shrinking fast

Tesla's expertise when it comes to batteries is unmatched in the auto-motive industry, no doubt about that.

Tesla is not using Panasonic at all for their new batteries.
It's nice that more crops are available, because salinisation is a real problem. It's not clear if it's a new problem in the area, or that are used to haves less people there.

My experience has been that people just move slow af ever since the lockdowns and remote only. Like I get it we all have differing amounts of equity and “ceos are evil” is common amongst some of the boot camp devs. However, that’s not an excuse to just cruise control through the week. It’s pretty frustrating to see some that some people are barely doing any work, people are offline on slack or have blocked off whole afternoons as busy. You’d think it would have become more efficient with lockdowns..

I think they can't do that.

This is the answer I was fishing for. If you want the government to own the patents, they should do the work.

If they outsource some of the work in exchange for the patents, perhaps the work that they are outsourcing is specialized and difficult for them to achieve.

The difference is that the future Tesla promised came just not on the timeline Tesla promised. I have high confidence that Semi, Cybertruck, Roadster, and Robotaxis will be here as promised, just not on the promised time.

Rivian, on the other hand, has not met the promised future on any timeline yet. Perhaps they will, but their past experience does not leave me with such high confidence.
> The question really is: - Is .NET or any other framework so called "battery included" ?

Basically every other web stack is "battery included" compared to node.js. It is the only framework having this problem as far as I know. Rails, Django, the java frameworks, net etc, all of them have basically everything you need out of the box.
Established players can't produce these numbers for their own EV's so you believe a startup will?

This interview with Cornelius Lanczos is also worth watching. He is not one of the Martians, because he went to England rather than to America, but he grew up in Budapest in the same time -- and he is a formidable storyteller.
"putting aside the entire topic of this thread..." Blah, blah, political rant.

Go away.
"smacked in the face" might be a bit extreme, but I can sympathise with GP's point. I read the first line of the first example:

A :: ~ * ~> * => {(list A) :: |new |empty }.

And got stuck at the first hurdle. I started parsing it in my mind and read "A such that tilde star arrow tilde double arrow". I stopped there, and thought "I'm lost". I started trying to interpret it: * might mean wildcard; single arrow could be curried functions (per Haskell). But I don't know what tilde means, nor the double arrow.

Now, of course, I can go and look it up: it'll all be defined somewhere. But that first experience - that very first "I've never seen this before, it sounds interesting" hit a road block right there.

Maybe not smacked in the face, but enough friction for me to click the back button.
Isn’t this even more impressive with the current chip shortage affecting every other car manufacturer on the planet?

There are other ways to make money other than advertising. If they insist on ads, they should disappear.

Besides, not everyone creates a website for profit. Sometimes people just have something interesting to say. The web used to have a lot of those before these commercial interests started infesting it.
Their stock valuation counts on them taking 60%+ of the global car market, and their cars being a computer network that generates new revenue from software improvements in perpetuity.

Yes, carbon credits should be based directly on mass of carbon taken from the air, we can measure forests, seems like it could be? Saplings need caring for too, there is ongoing benefit and ongoing cost.
Humans define order. Entropy increasing is just like a falling water fall. If you zoom in on some region of chaos and say look at this pattern (like in cellular automata), you have defined that to be meaningful order. Every state in the statistical ensemble has equal likelihood of occurring, there just happen to be a small subset of interest to human minds.

Having visited Amsterdam once, I'm honestly a little surprised there are so few cycling accidents. The number of bikes is huge and the flow of it looked a bit like a controlled chaos.

The Dutch seem to have understood the street smarts and the unwritten rules of cycling (as applies to their environment) really well, so that probably explains it, along with a cycling-friendly environment.

The question is why are there collateral requirements at all for a straight trade, though? In this example there is enough cash in the system to resolve everything without debt.

If you go to the bookstore and give them $105 for a rare $100 book +markup, and they say they can't get it because they don't have collateral, how would that make any sense? You gave them all the money they need to buy the book outright. Why collateral?
Has anyone read any of these books? I'm interested in picking up a few but want to hear other opinions before I make a purchase.
