Though drive-by-wire throttles absolutely do modify and potentially hold back your throttle input for reasons of both economy, comfort and enforced driveline sympathy, there is also an inherent response difference between petrol and electric engines and also slop in the driveline system. That difference varies on the engine and transmission type.

Unfortunately I cannot find an easy good reference on what exactly that difference is quantifiably. Also many of the Electric cars right now are higher end even sporty vehicles, and more likely to have a throttle mapping that is more direct.

Perhaps they use investor money to make up for the difference (a kind of growth hacking). Perhaps their idea is to replace workers by AI at some point.
I liked the 'data analysis' part, and 'buidling your own trading software part'. However the work environment was very toxic for me, and it ended in a minor burnout. Now I work as a kind of Product Owner in a startup where I highly respect my boss, and I am super happy about it!
Dare we say it but this is by far a more sustainable/sensible option vs buying a new car. Also liked Toyota's idea to simply convert ICE's to hydrogen powered ones.
The first link is terrible. “Voir dire” is not pseudo-French, it’s an archaic expression from old Norman French (a lot of such phrases ended up in English legal language). Also, “nom de plume” is used commonly in French.
That's a very common criticism, but I don't think mathematics would work if you insisted on being 100% explicit all the time.

That’s a concern worth looking at.

On the one hand traditional media wants to maintain their position of preeminence, so having a viable competitor would presumably add deserved competition to keep them honest. On the other hand, competition from online media would drive a race to the bottom for clicks…

And both options are apt to use their power to ‘sway’ their readers/consumers as they see fit.

It’s kind of lose-lose for consumers without some legislation governing news… but that’s also a double edged sword ala dictatorship. I’m afraid there is no answer.

You could generate ideas for domain names with this too.

Many people work backwards from a domain name to build their business/project/whatever. That is, the domain is dreamed up first before the name, instead of having a name for a project and then looking for a corresponding domain.
> I used a shortened version of my last name for my account details.

So not Hetzner's fault, then.
If the account is in your name you're responsible for payment. But you can probably sue your manager for doing that. I don't see Hetzner's fault, they'll have to assume that you opened the account if it's in your name and was likely used by you.
To critique the writing, the section on why Wiktionary is wrong is so tediously verbose. It could've been shortened to say "This is based on a century (100 years) of 365 days each, without leap years.". All the numbers of millions of seconds, etc, is just so useless and repetitive .

I found this interesting with the current 'trend' of remote work:

The failure to attract and retain additional qualified personnel could prevent us from executing our business strategy.

- snip -

The market for such talented personnel is particularly competitive in the San Francisco Bay Area, where our headquarters is located. Many of the companies with which we compete for experienced personnel have greater resources than we do and can frequently offer such personnel substantially greater compensation than we can offer. If we fail to attract new personnel or fail to retain and motivate our current personnel, our business would be harmed.

I hear lots of people remark that the way we use tech has shortened our attention spans. Most often I hear this about reading, and ability to stay with a text. Has our ability to stay with a lecture also decreased over the decades, or is watching/listening to a speaker easier on our attention system somehow? Is a guideline from von Neumann still good, or are we now mostly twitchy and checking our phones at 30 min?

I won't argue that the US is at the top but there are many other developed countries following behind. I think education is definitely a part of it.
For me it's the other way around in EU at least. OVH's network is light years ahead of Hetnzer's.
I often had speed issues between OVH servers in the US and Hetzner servers in Europe. But not sure which fault it was, never got anywhere. Hetzner support was helpful, they claimed it was on the side of OVH. OVH never really got back to me on this.

The private system is better for some things (especially wait times).

In general the public system is extremely good if somewhat overloaded.

RE abuse of the system - many clinics charge a fee on top of the government subsidy, but you can always find one that doesn't. You still have to make an appointment, show up, wait in a room full of sick people, etc. It may not cost you money, but it's far less desirable than eating free food. In practice it doesn't seem to be an issue.
Yes, and to build on your comment regarding the employer's lack of knowledge and control over taxes: Equity comp also means the employee has control over when they get compensated.

Maybe the employee will sell equity as it vests, maybe they'll keep it and sell it all ten years later. These choices will all drastically change the tax situation.

A good employer will work with you as a team to help you realize your financial strategy.
I know of no requirement in the US Constitution that the US government fund the US Post Office.

The US Constitution grants Congress the authority to do so if it chooses to, and historically it has chosen to. Article I, Section 8, Clause 7 of the United States Constitution, known as the Postal Clause or the Postal Power, empowers Congress "To establish Post Offices and post Roads."

More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postal_Clause

I do think that the US government should ensure that you should ensure that the mail continues. I just wanted to clarify that government isn't obligated to pay for it.
Fair point, but consider that the separation of powers between the legislative and judicial branches of government is enforced by the constitution. Without a constitutional amendment, a fourth "public information" branch would have no such protection.

Furthermore, consider that these days even the courts (which are supposed to be politically neutral) have become highly politicized. I can't think of any reason why a supposedly neutral fourth branch of government would be any better in that regard.

I find C++ and Rust hard to grasp quickly. I like Go since I come from C but I haven’t looked at any frondtend in Go. I would say some kind of Rust + Go mashup with some kind of good frontend framework (especially something that translates for mobile devices) could do the trick. But I find that every time I interview for a company the tech stack is always a different combination and a learning curve for newcomers.
What kind of abuse? Very few people go to a hospital if they don't have to, they're unpleasant places. Even in countries with free medical care, they still have to heavily encourage people to go more often to discover problems while they're still cheap to fix rather than waiting for them to become extremely acute.

Co-author here :) Regarding your first point: You are talking about so-called marginal carbon intensity - and you are right, this would indeed be a better metric for incentivizing scheduling. Unfortunately it is extremely hard to compute (or better: to estimate), we discuss this in Section 3.4 of the paper.

Regarding the second point: This paper is more written from a data center operator or service provider perspective. They could, for example, (financially?) incentivize their users to give them some slack in when to schedule workloads.

Simply put: Computing should be expensive when energy is dirty. Governments could incentivize this via carbon pricing mechanisms (that are actually currently discussed at COP26)
"Not only are they the same in each species, but they crowd together in the center of the nucleus where they physically interact with each other, suggesting functional coherence,"

People often mix automation and abstraction. In some cases it is interchangeable. In lot of scenarios it is not. In my opinion there is true automation, for example automatic bank account creation, automated sales etc and then there is abstraction where you thinking you are automating but in reality you are adding n+1 tools. For instance, automated chatbot is an abstraction of a customer rep, if 90% of inbound ends up with an customer rep.

Ugh. Textbook regulatory capture. Sounds like hell. I've dealt with certification hazing in other industries; worse than useless. Further, my direct experience with CSC, McKesson, others is that they are irredeemably bad, complete bights on the economy. No different than every other big IT & mgmt consultancy.

Our problem with "meaningful use" was figuring out wtf they were even talking about, that there was no "there" there. Like being the boy who saw the emperor was naked.

HITECH was after my time.

During our time on the whipping post, we were grateful for all the standards for UI and reports. Less thrashing with customers. It seemed like every hospital had that one doctor who was an frustrated undiscovered human factors genius hell bent on sharing their vision with the world thru the medium of CRUD. Never mind the opinions of the actual users of ours stuff. What we'd call bikeshedding (or sabotage) today.

I don't know what to say about top down bureaucratic coercion. Short of switching to single payer, I can't imagine any other way to get competitors to play nicely together. That's not to say it's worth doing. But I've never seen outcomes which justify the effort (ROI), in any industry. Hopefully someone has examples, case studies, whatever of success that will prove my cynicism wrong.

As it stands today, all that federal money is just cheddar for campaign donors. Any accidental benefit to either patients or care providers will be quickly snuffed.

Hi there, I am very sorry that you had this negative experience back in 2018. If memory serves correctly, when we launched Hetzner Cloud during this time, there was a large surge in the number of fake accounts new customers tried to make. So I could imagine our teams being overly careful about new accounts, and especially if names didn't quite match up. Usually, we are able to restore data from locked servers/accounts within the first 48 hours, and to the best of my knowledge, we were able to do that back in 2018 as well. So if you responded within 30 minutes, and your account was re-activated, I think this could have been possible in theory. However, I am not, in fact, a technician or member of the cloud support team, and I am not aware of the details of your case. Perhaps there was something else that happened with your servers or data that I am unaware of. I am very sorry that you had this negative experience with us. Naturally, we don't want any of our customers to feel this way. --Katie, Marketing, Hetzner Online

Good question, I wrote about my own reasons for moving back to C from C++ a while ago:

https://floooh.github.io/2018/06/02/one-year-of-c.html

...and "modern C" is often misunderstood by C++ people who only know the fork of C known as the "common C/C++ subset" (which is basically an outdated, non-standard dialect of C that's stuck in the mid-90s):

However, I'm hoping to eventually abandon C in favour of Zig within the next 10 years or so :)
The simple answer is that any group that is considered to be “white” whatever their level of integration is fair game.

I don't get the vitriol.

BackBlaze is pretty clear on what it offers: for $7 a month, you can backup your entire computer with 30 days of history. Nothing more nothing less*

These short IDs are likely generated for performance reasons. Meaningful IDs would increase page size quite a bit (not just in the HTML, but in the CSS and JavaScript that references them as well).

Developers sometimes optimize their critical HTML to fit within a tuned initial TCP congestion window to improve performance, so this stuff can make a difference.

Until there's a NYT-like takeover of the editorial board by people that aren't so into free speech.
When Windows Presentation Foundation split layout, styling, and logic into three separate sets of files, it was a huge win for maintainability. I had my share of complaints about WPF, but it was never that. It was mostly that I wished the rules for how they interacted with each other were easier to understand.

I feel the same way about html/css/jss. It's not the fundamental triumvirate that bothers me. And I'm fine with their respective syntaxes. My problem is that the semantics of the whole system is an ever-growing Gordian knot of accidental complexity.

But that problem is very nearly unfixable, so I can't really blame anyone for tinkering with more superficial things instead.
I originally was on Crashplan until they killed the consumer service- my main motivation for going with Crashplan was based on 1) ability to set set deleted files to never be removed from backup sets automatically, and 2) no restriction for running the client on Windows Server. I've definitely had cases where I only realized that I had removed a file I wanted after the 30 day window that Backblaze sets for keeping deleted files. Also, I happen to run Windows Server on a couple of boxes in my house for fun and I'd like to back them up- something I can't do with the Backblaze client.

Then Crashplan killed the consumer service, leaving the Small Business service for rather more money. Recently they announced that they'll be instituting restrictions on file types and deleted file retention.

I moved to IDrive for my endpoints because of the pricing being more competitive than any other option. Their Web UI isn't as good as Crashplan, the client UI is also pretty poor, it's more difficult to figure out what the client is actually doing, and I had times when it would get stuck on files for days/weeks on large backup sets. However, it's actively developed and they've fixed some issues in recent months. It's cheap enough that it's hard to complain.

For my Windows Servers, now I use Duplicacy, which can target a few different cloud storage providers. I tried Backblaze B2 first, which was a bit expensive for me in the end when I realized how large the backup set was- after a year it would have been cheaper to build a NAS and stick it at a friends house and mirror to it. Currently I'm using Google Drive as a storage target using a Gapps for business account, as the storage limits are currently "suggestions". Though I am aware that is something that could go away eventually as well. Hopefully by then I'll be out of graduate school and able to afford a less-makeshift storage target.
That aside though, Duplicacy works pretty well if you're looking for something for larger backup sets that does a bit more than Rsync/Rclone (specifically deduplication) which can target both local and cloud backends, and has both command-line and graphical interfaces. The optional GUI for Duplicacy is pretty simple local web interface but it works.

I don't think news should be free - making it so leaves publishers beholden to patrons and/or advertisers which is hardly healthy - but I do think it should be friction free. Whether through microtransactions or a common subscription, I should be able to have one account with one monthly payment across all online newspapers, magazines, etc. The current system of every publication having its very own walled garden, its own monthly bill, its own potential for my information to be leaked (meaning that across all of them leaks will be a regular occurrence) is ridiculous. They all shot themselves in the foot by not collaborating on such a system and I feel no pity for them.
