It's one of the aspects that is in my cons column as I decide on a new phone. I'm waiting to see what the Pixel 6 turns out like, but at the back of my mind is the knowledge that if there is a problem with it I'll be shouting into the void that is Google's support organisation, and I'm just not sure I want that.

Alabama governor signs bills to use Covid-19 relief funds to build prisons
They’ve been working on scaling for six years. You know any tech platforms that took six years to scale to the point of usability?

If they cared about scaling rather than milking greater fools, I think it would be solved.

Imagine if someone presented a database or OS that worked so inpractically and they said they were still working on scaling after six years. That would be the dumbest startup ever.
Right.

If you dig into the LoC Classification what you'll find are sections, some large, some small, that have been entirely retired or supersceded.

Geography is only one of those. Psychology has been huge, notably as regards human sexuality and gender. Technology and business, in which change and obsolescence are quite rapid, another. (Both have significantly co-evolved with the development of cataloguing systems and library science itself.) Emerging domains, particularly computer science and information systems, have struggled to find where they fit within the classification. And different domains are both idiosyncratic and specific to the Library's interests.
For the LoCCS, US history and geography are overrepresented relative to the rest of the world. And the entire Law classification, much of it relatively reasonably developed, has a markedly differnt style and character than the rest of the classification.

> Charging efficiency isn't 100%, so you'd have to tow it further than the range you need

That's not how it works. You basically get 5 mpg or less on the truck, while the car charges at significantly higher rates than the speed of the truck (in mph), because the car is more efficient at using the energy.

https://insideevs.com/news/514727/tesla-towing-70mph-fast-ch...

Towing at 70mph in the above example was charging the car at 65 kW. That's equivalent to ~260-270 mi/hr of charging rate assuming 250Wh/mi.
Well I never wrote "just a few", but I did write "mostly".

Also, disclosure: I'm intimately familiar with the ECU software of a major player in the industry, though primarily the part that governs the air system. It's surprisingly sophisticated and extremely configurable just by fiddling with those calibration values.
Perhaps but that didn’t stop me from isolating. Fwiw, my wife may have been asymptomatic in the past and she figured she was safe to interact in public.

The moral of this story is that vaxxed or not this virus can still spread, so you can only be safe about yourself. Wear a mask, wash your hands.

Good luck!
The only entities on the planet that thought Google Bank Accounts was a good idea, are Google and the US' 3 letter organizations.

Everyone else on earth wouldn't trust google with their finances even if Google were the last finance company on the planet.

Their history of interactions between themselves and citizens is abysmal. Their history of keeping products updated or even alive, is abysmal. Their history of making anti-human changes to their product to serve ads to those humans, is abysmal.

Google is an abysmal company, that does abominable things.

Who trusts Google? Not even Google trusts Google...
If you go the other way, the tetrachords share a note:

C D E F, G A B C

Swap these:

G A B {C} D E F

So, tuning by fourths, it lines up, indeed, when we take into account the shared note, e.g. these two L-shaped tetrachord patterns:

D - E F D - E F
C + A - B C = A - B{C}
G G

Or:

E F E F
C - D + B C = B{C}- D
G - A G - A

Fragmentation isn’t good. Open standards—-not open standards from one company—-is best. The shiny new computer will hold the title ‘fastest in its class’ initially but its longevity will be at the mercy of the company building it. Linux will get harder and harder to port over without jailbreaking.
Totally agree. The last thing I would do is allow an ad company or online seller invade my home with their closed widgets.
True, but that's not at all a requirement for a database, and MVCC can be built on top where needed.
I just got down on my knees and prayed that Trump having this lawsuit fail would finally put that stupid idea to rest.
I went through multiple iterations of Chromebooks as a developer. I really wanted to love them, but they're just not powerful enough for it. Even opening multiple tabs slowed down the Pixelbook, for example. I think at this point, unless Google indeed drastically revamps the architecture to make it much more powerful for the buck, it's a dead product in this category. Education seems like the only market where it shines.

At first I thought you were trolling but you're right, Coraline links to your Twitter post in the original Opalgate PR. I wouldn't really call what you did "instigation" though. You called out a post on Twitter you thought was BS, but that's way different than actually taking action to boot someone from a project, their career, etc. The former I would call "speech" or "an opinion", the latter I would call (esp. with Twitter mob backing) "bullying", "instigation", and/or "aggression".

If Coraline feels bullied or harrassed, my guess would be because people tend to react to bullying and aggression with bullying and aggression. "You reap what you sow", "You catch more flies with honey than vinegar", etc.
>Considering its popularity, vast ecosystem, and widespread use, you can't just state that it's hated so much - that is just your impression based on few very noisy people.

I wouldn't say it's popular; it's ubiquitous. It is the only language available for development on one of the most used platforms in history: The Internet.

Also, I'd wager there's more than just a few of those very noisy people.
Does Google actually have senior management? It just all seems to be random teams running around chucking ideas around and then sodding off after they've screwed it up. The place just seems to be in disarray at the top levels.
I never signed the NDA, although I follow the space distantly, and they went public on their own website a couple years ago with a list:

BMW, Bosch, Continental, Daimler AG, Ford, General Motors, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Toyota, and Volkswagen.

I always rooted for an older competitor GENIVI which (very handwavy in a general sense) boiled down to "make dbus great again". I just always have a soft spot for anything that replaces CORBA and DCOP. More or less GENIVI had the same players as AUTOSAR.

I believe AUTOSAR suffers from trying to do too much; GENIVI's "all you need is a compatible bus" is the minimum you need so simplicate and add lightness and that's what should win; doesn't really matter if that guy runs QNX and that other guy runs FreeRTOS as long as the busses talk; whereas AUTOSAR tries to own and control everything top to bottom which just ends up stifling any productivity.
Car sales plunge as chip shortages choke off supply
Tesla is valued at 10 times that, and if you subscribe to the old-auto-industry-having-problems-to-compete-with-Tesla hypothesis, then Rivian has the potential to become another dominant car company in the market. It’s clearly a bet, but it’s not a disconnected from reality bet. In fact, in a world where tesla already pulled it off, it sounds more grounded than the Tesla story.
Really? When talking to the laypublic, they think we know they are talking about a metric that most people don't even know exists? If you asked 10 people on the street, how many of them would even know high-energy plasma is involved in a fusion reactor?

It's so absurd when talking about an energy generation technology to talk about any energy metric other than energy in versus energy out, it's unfathomable to me that you could possibly believe it's not intentionally deceptive. Either these people can't be trusted with public communication from demonstrated incompetence or intentional deceit. Which one is worse?

They are using this metric in public communication because they know it gets them funding. Full stop. Do they not stop and wonder "why does this metric get us funding?" Your take is incredibly naive.
What enterprise laptop/desktop (Think* for Lenovo, Dell Precision/XPS/Latitude, HP Pro* and Elite*) hasn’t been sold with a TPM in the last five years? I know Intel has been shipping them standard since Sandy Bridge or so. I’m 90% sure my X220 has one.

I think the bigger problem might be the CPU compatibility list, but that isn’t being enforced to my knowledge.
Transferring $10k by ACH costs $0. A visa transaction is like $.30, there’s no speed for a “usual” transaction on Eth to cost that low.

> This is a good example of how innovation, competition and small businesses are being stifled by the anticompetitive behavior of the mobile app distribution cartel.

No, it's an example of how small businesses are foolishly making their business model dependent on a company that is known to be unreliable. What should be happening is that mobile app distributors should not be depending on Google at all; alternate mobile app stores should be out-competing them by providing better service to developers. If there is a "cartel" that is making that difficult, it's not the mobile app store gatekeepers, it's the mobile phone companies that are tilting the playing field sharply in favor of the Android phones they distribute, which are tied to Google Play Store, instead of allowing free and open competition in phone operating systems.
Then you would expect the Netherlands to have a lot more injuries than the USA, since the number of miles biked without helmets is a lot higher. For some reason, it isn’t. They actually found in the 70s that yes, the problem is cars.
One of the big issues with 40-60V systems, which have been right around the corner for 20 years now, maybe more, has been that typical relay contacts arc over at about 28V DC. Yes, there are ways to adress this. No, none of them are as practical as relays yet.

It's that nobody cares and the media doesn't cover it. A friend of mine-- his Tesla has broken down a dozen times and he still happily pre-ordered the cyber truck.

My 10-year-old Honda has never had any work done to it other than maintenance-- but that doesnt make the news either.

I would like to gently suggest we not do this. There are values HN holds dearer than "intellectual integrity", whatever that may mean to whoever writes it, and the most important of them is creating a space for curious conversation.

I've no idea how often it is done with the intent to end life, but doctors are legally allowed to give doses of medication that may hasten death, providing their intention is only to relieve pain and suffering - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Adams_(1957)

It can be argued[1] that only doses that are virtually certain to cause death lead to liability for the death, so no doubt there is some overlap between doses given to relieve pain and those that quicken death.

Diamorphine is also sometimes used for labour pain.[2]

If such efforts are not curbstomped early, we'll end up with fully closed computing devices architecture, belonging to different vendors who provide whole vertical from bare metal to OS. There will be Google's processors/OS/software, Apple's, Samsung's, plus some shit CCP will come up with, like, TikToks, and all of them will be mutually incompatible, with own programming languages and data formats. The future looks bleak.
OP is being opaque and probably exaggerating, And yet I still suspect that the underlying claim is true - Google likely did kill the project by killing their dev account.

This is still a fundamental problem with having only two global centralized app stores.
I did watch her video. More than that I had already read the entire transcripts of a few of the DoE Fusion Energy Sciences congressional testimonies[0], where the Bigot excerpt was pulled from (or rather Sabine pulled them from another video with an agenda that pulled them from somewhere I don't know).

I didn't draw my conclusions from 3 second supercuts of testimonies or TED Talks presented by someone who's making conclusions for me. Read the testimonies. Read the questions given to them by congress. Then you're at least partially equipped to pass judgment on whether or not Bigot was being deceitful. To be fully equipped you'll need to learn the history of fusion energy research and how the DoE conducts its communications.

I looked into this a few weeks ago while exploring purchasing an electric car, and from what I could find "tow charging" was experimented with but has basically been given up on. The expectation is that if you lose power, you will need a flatbed truck to cart the car to a charging station.

Chromebooks (and virtually all laptops) have an embedded controller (EC) but fortunately the source is open: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/ec/+/H...

If Google is building their own SoC they could move the EC on-chip. I don't know if it's worth the development effort.
Following what your competitor is doing has not historically been a winning strategy in tech, I hope it works out for Google.

Samsung with it's bespoke ARM chips and Apple with its chips make better, more capable, devices than Google can possibly make with off the shelf parts. That combined with having to pay the third party margin on the chips and you don't achieve leadership. But the challenge is that "organically" developing a core competency in semiconductor design is unlikely to succeed. Samsung was a chip company to begin with and Apple bought PA Semi for the expertise.

Not that buying a company would necessarily help, after all their track record there is spotty at best.

‘A perfect storm’: supply chain crisis could blow world economy off course
The Act of Smelling
I'm not sure in what way you're using the word "efficiency" here?

The research showed that the Go version of the programs were in average faster in terms of execution time and consumed less memory than the alternate Lisp versions, yet the Lisp versions consumed less electricity and were thus more energy efficient.

So the interesting bit here is that better performance and lower memory consumption doesn't always mean more energy efficient.

Now, there is definitely a link between performance and energy use, the research did show that for the most part, faster execution often reflected in lower energy spent, but there were surprising variation within that range where it wasn't always clear cut.

The gulf stream is predicted to collapse in about 40 years. You won't catch me making strong predictions about what happens that far in the future, but the gulf stream is responsible for keeping North America's farm belt temperate, aka, farmable. The North is expected to cool dramatically, and closer to the equator is expected to warm dramatically -- perhaps inhospitably so. Additionally, the oxygen levels in the ocean may deplete to produce mass extinction in another major food source. I'm not sure what all is implied by "medieval era" to you, but all together, it looks pretty damned bleak. Evolution doesn't turn on a dime, but the weather might.

In the long run we'll only use FPGAs and soft cores.

In 2050 if your old 2035 Ford needs a new ECU you'll just stuck a somewhat newer and larger FPGA on it, and if the 2035 ECU needs three hardware I2C bus with clock stretching, one of which bus has to do 10 bit I2C addrs and it also needs three hardware PWM pins with 11 bit resolution and two 8051 cores running at 5.25 MHz each and two CANBUS, you (or more likely Ford) will just compile the brand new FPGA to have exactly and precisely all that stuff and it'll work fine.
Two large reasons for the unnatural death of birds: Windows and feral cats [0]. In Australia, the government is hunting down feral cats to protect their biodiversity [1].
The cat lobby is very strong in many countries, including the US. Because of that, they stopped killing feral cats and use ineffective[2] techniques like TNR (trap, neuter, release). I can understand the fans of cats, they are cute lovely animals. And I think voting against killing feral cats is caused by a pseudo-moral of "killing cats is bad" and "cats are more valuable to me than wild animals". In the end, feral cats are an invasive species in most parts of the world. And feral cats surely don't have a nice life in comparison to the live of a house cat.

You completely missed the point of my comment. The wording describes a specific instance. And additionally, the rhetorical convention implies that there is no instance of the problem for which the description doesn't hold. This part is unwritten; the reader is meant to apply it from context.
It seems like this is why there's a big disagreement about this particular write-up. Some people are applying this additional constraint, and others (yourself) aren't.
If you counter that this constraint isn't written, and therefore it shouldn't apply, I'm sorry but you're wrong. The author clearly intended it.
