There’s more than just 0-60 times.

There’s handling, driver experience, fit and finish, looks etc.

Every other EV is a everyday car designed to be practical and it just so happens that electric gives good acceleration/torque.

Take an existing premium sports car. It looks like a sports car, it handles like a sports car, there premium price will allow for premium electric engines and components, it’ll be a better electric sports car than the electric saloon several hundred thousand dollars cheaper.

You can get ICE cars today that are cheaper than Ferrari and with some bolt on components go faster than a Ferrari yet Ferrari has no trouble selling Ferrari’s because a Ferrari is more than just a fast car.

We have multiple tiers of ICE cars, we will have multiple tiers of electric cars. So far Tesla will not be competing with the Ferrari’s, Lamborghinis or McLaren’s and those brands will stay catering for the premium market with premium components , premium handling and premium performance. Because of their brand the first few generations they also likely can get away with a premium on top of the already premium price and still have a waiting list.
Graduate school is tough. Burnout is very possible. People come in thinking that it's basically continuation of undergrad (being asked "are you still in school? How's that going?").

It's a battle of endurance, not wits anymore. Things are hard, shit sucks. Find a support network with other graduate students, find new and creative ways to continue to be engaging (at one point in my PhD I was literally sitting on a camping chair with my laptop in the middle of the woods trying to write my thesis).

I am literally in my last year (hopefully) of my PhD and the final stretch is pretty much that. I was thriving earlier in my degree and right now I just want out. I wouldn't have survived so far if I didn't have my cohort of students and friends to support me (and for lack of a better reason, helping me complain a bit).

Don't work on the project more than you have to. Focus on what's important for your degree, the critical path. People will always want more from you the more you give. Take care of yourself first.
Just finished a new full-stack JS framework I'm hyped on: https://github.com/cheatcode/joystick.
Your interview process page doesn't mention anything about engineering. Seems to have been made for consultants only.
I won the IPO lottery and I’m in the middle ground between rich enough to never work again but not quite rich enough for the yachts/mansions/private jets lifestyle. I haven’t worked in 6 months and I’m struggling to find a larger meaning to my life beyond getting yet another tech job. I’ve considered going to college for a math degree, moving to my parents home country, and joining the military (among many other options) over the last few months. Just feeling very aimless so I’ve started reading Russian literature and spending hours on Reddit every day.

> Don't get me wrong: Obesity is still a problem and the United States is incrementally worse than most countries. However, the way it's talked about leads a lot of people to believe that the United States is some sort of extreme outlier and nearly everyone they encounter will be obese.

I imagine it is that extreme for people from south or east Asia.
MallocScribble is available as "opt.junk" in jemalloc [1]. As for guard pages, tcmalloc has TCMALLOC_PAGE_FENCE [2], and there is an issue [3] in jemalloc.

In any case, Apple and others have invested hugely in LLVM AddressSanitizer, so the Electric Fence-like malloc debugging features are considered more of a last resort these days.

What do you want to work on? It doesn’t sound like this is it.

Don’t worry about the funding - negotiate an exit that’s fair to everyone if necessary, taking into account the work you’ve done to get to this point.

Better to cut your losses and work on the underlying issues that you hint at in your post.

If you’re not sure yet, then take your time and be as upfront with your colleagues as you can.
The amount of in-fighting over a small disagreement is astounding, as is the conflation between "disagreement" and "causing harm". If you disagree on some intellectual framework regarding gender identity – to name something controversial – then this absolutely does not equal "discrimination". It's a massive distraction over the actual issues that matter, never mind turning people off from the left in general.

It's kind of amazing because people in the West live in the most free and non-discriminatory society in all of recorded history. Yes, there are still problems and it's not perfect and these problems require adressing, but try being gay 50 years ago, or in most non-Western countries. We really do have it quite good.

There is kind of a curious parallel with Trump's "Make America Great Again!"-rhetoric where he presents the US as a kind of dystopian hellscape, which is not that dissimilar to how it's presented among some of these people. My take-away from this is that there actually are some deep-rooted problems in the way we organize our society, and that the dissatisfaction, frustration, and anger over this manifests itself in different ways. Brexit is another interesting example, because it always seemed to me not so much about the EU, but more a general dissatisfaction about the state of things.

Why are you so concerned with who your kids are talking to? You have to teach them trust else they’ll continue on passing on this mistrust you clearly take as normal. How did the kids exist prior to Facebook messenger?
Obesity is also not evenly distributed across the U.S.
If you look at the rural/urban split it's more prevalent in rural areas[1], and if you look at the city breakdowns, the cities that foreigners are more likely to visit have lower obesity rates across the board [2].

So visiting the top-performing American cities (usually in the Northeast or West coast) understates the level of obesity in the country as a whole by a fair bit.

I had the realization that there are practically two different Americas after I took a road trip through the south after having lived in the Northeast for ~20 years.

Technically in your framing, there still would be a headwind (i.e. things limiting the rate of the acceleration).

Either way, this framing only works in very specific contexts, for example "renewables" or "many countries," many of which we'd arguably make progress on regardless (e.g. the cost of batteries would decrease over time regardless of the impetus of climate change), so it isn't very useful. Global emissions continue to increase, so, if we apply this framing more broadly, the net velocity is still negative (though acceleration has increased). As before, I'd also argue that simply increasing acceleration (towards reducing emissions/mitigating climate change) would happen regardless (e.g. as fossil fuel scarcity increases, usage of alternatives would increase), and still is not very useful.

If this is the framing of the article, it frames it this way very poorly, as you said. Instead it presents headwind vs. tailwind as two alternatives (i.e. "[r]ather than [..] we now have [...]") as opposed to things you'd always have (i.e. forces for vs. forces opposed).
As a primarily backend C# guy myself, I'm curious if you considered Blazor? I find it intriguing and if I had the motivation for a personal/side project I'd likely do an initial proof of concept with it.
I believe the case for micropayments was shot down back in 2002 when Scott McCloud first proposed it as an option for webcomic authors in his comic post "I Can't Stop Thinking" (the original no longer exists at his site, but various rebuttals [1] are still around)

Basically, people hate microtransactions. They hate the very idea of paying per article. They don't want to do it.

Ars, among many other sites, offers yearly subscriptions with various benefits (such as no ads) and that business model has worked well for them for many years.

The custom compiler backend is only intended to use for development, so limiting it to x86 makes sense (well, unless you are planning to develop with one of the new M1 Macs…)

For actual deployment (release builds for various architectures), the LLVM compiler can be used for Jai.

> The Crypto-USDT pairs will quickly go no-bid

I think what you mean is the Crypto-USDT pairs will go no offer (i.e. no USDT bid) as people turn to dump crypto against a fiat leg.
You do realize that the publisher of this is very far from a neutral party here, right?
yes, this mean they have more chance let someone to do this for them freely
> Compared with what?

I really don't get what is the glitch here? You seem fixated on finding logical parallels to an ongoing response to a global pandemic, which is honestly getting quite repetitive to discuss.

It's compared with the current level of deaths to vaccination rate given it's not going away.. The logical conclusion of unsurprising policies as a response to the novel coronavirus, or any highly transmissible zoonotic virus.

Are we even on the same page here that less deaths is better from the perspective of public policy?

Honestly your rhetoric, message after message gets so tiresome to engage with, by virtue of hyperbolic it is. "Relentless propaganda", "daring to have different opinions gets you attacked bullied fired etc etc".

It's a national healthcare apparatus' response to a virus, nothing more or less.

After reading it all, repeating it every which way, it's just not compelling to me. This doesn't need to be some hyper-emotional, hyper-politicized topic, where parents of young boys need to fearfully victimize themselves as patriot-martyr enemies of the fascist state. I'm getting to the point of having a kind of second-hand embarrassment at the characterization.
I think you are making biased comments.

There are good arguments both for, and against tightening, or loosening up a number of processes around voting.

Currently in the US, most voting processes are significantly weaker than processes around getting a driver's license, purchasing alcohol, or buying a gun. This encourages participation at the cost of security.

On the other hand, having to be at a certain place in a specific time window, or having to produce a strong identity can reduce voting participation to a minor extent. If this was altered such as by mass mail-in voting then this would reduce security at a benefit of accessibility.

Part of the penalties for a conviction can be paying a fine to your victims or to the state. A logical example of your argument would be that you'd permit Bernie Madoff to vote after his release (provided he lived) regardless of whether or not he fully compensated the numerous victims of his financial crimes.

yeah sorry i just made up 'mapped generic columns',

my progression was trying to find a soln for immutable key/values (immutable enabling some different tradeoffs then others might have) where most of my values are bigints so only a couple of bytes to store.

I worked through approaches:
1. obvious skinny table with duplication
2. EAV optimisation to reduce duplication

The problem with both of these is that having 1 key/value per row with a small value (8 bytes~) meant 23-27 byte row overhead, which obviously increases your storage cost dramatically.

So i looked at how to have more values on each row, so maybe 23-27 bytes overhead for 500 values..

3. EAV with values grouped into an array per row, similar to EAV but instead of 1 value per row, map N values onto 1 row using an array column. So N values are all in one array on a row, and accessed by index. This has the lowest storage overhead, because of row compression you can get on average an 8 byte bigint stored for only 6 bytes per value (so no overhead, actual savings on the raw values..), but value access via array index isn't very efficient especially for sparse arrays, or sparse queries across millions of rows. And tom says maybe not: https://marc.info/?l=pgsql-performance&m=131229661705005&w=2

Good thing about 3 is that you can abstract the value -> row array mapping in SQL, so app doesn't need to care about it, but array access is slower than i'd like, so how to avoid that? Maybe map N values onto generic columns instead? No array access penalty, and less framework fighting..

4. So like 3 but instead of N values in an array per row, have values in N generic columns per row (value_1, value_2 etc). It is too hard/bad ergonomics to do this in SQL/pgplsql, so now the app has to be aware of what value is in which generic column name, which was ok for us and it has much better query performance. In terms of storage cost, there is a relationship between number of columns/values per row and how much data is required to be paged in to retrieve a value (performance) and row overhead and compression efficacy. We landed on 100 values per row I think, this meant bigint was 8-10 bytes to store instead of the more efficient for approach 3 is tunable tho upto the column per row limit of ~1600.

Can dig up proper numbers later if useful but thats the general idea.

Really depends where you go. I grew up in NYC, then moved to SF and then Boulder, and it always shocks me when I see a fat person in my day to day life. But road tripping through Iowa, I see more fat people sitting in a diner than I do my entire year in Boulder.
> Regardless of what they are working on, if it doesn't exist, the value of it is presently zero.

That’s not true. Do you know how many multi-million-dollar companies have nothing more than an idea on a paper napkin that they managed to sell to investors? You didn’t even bring up the matter of whether they have investors who have placed a valuation on their business. Or even if they have paid into their own business’ equity, which is then of monetary value.

In fact a business’ monetary valuation has nothing to do with whether it has a product. Some high-value businesses have zero products. If we’re speaking valuation, what matters is the value of the assets they have listed under the business, their liabilities, their owner’s equity, etc.
> Driving to the south and midwest, I mostly just saw immensely massive parking lots for Walmart, Dollar Generals, some liquor store, and other big box markets.

If you're just driving through, as you stated, and never actually stopped or lived in any of these towns then I'm not surprised you have that impression.

What OP was mentioning is this:

> There’s no kiraana stores (i.e. small local stores) that sell grains and rice and vegetables here, it seems. (Or small stationery shops, or shops of any kind.)

What immediately came to my mind was feed stores mixed with a farmers market which there's an abundance of in rural areas. You're not going to find that that in a big city. For reference, I live on the West coast (not in NYC) and we have small grocers, but not specialized little mom and pops or something in-between like a feed store.

I wonder why Bluetooth is still somewhat fragile.
Because Apple has always been in education. It’s how they hook you on their products so you’ll buy them later when you’re an adult. The same reason Facebook is doing it as well as MS and a whole slew of companies you’ve never heard of. I know of one company that partnered with Sony for educational games to get PlayStations in classrooms for the same reason (from Sony’s perspective)
2. Maybe the original question was to do it in place and reuse all the nodes?
The scale is still no where comparable to India. There they have one on every street corner literally.
Yeah you can use a cheap Baofeng radio (can get as low as $15-20), an “APRS cable” for it (about $20 on Amazon or make your own) which takes mic/ptt and audio out and feeds it to a 3.5” TRRS plug (think iOS / android headphones with mic plug), and an APRS app on your phone.

Radio -> cable -> cellphone audio jack -> APRS app

If you have an iOS device probably using a lightning / usb-c to 3.5” TRRS jack too.
> In fact if you reduce your energy expenditure below some unspecified threshold it becomes utterly worthless.

This is not really true--it's not like lowering the security budget means all the old blocks can be rewritten at will. Roughly speaking, the cost of rewriting a block is the cumulative PoW cost of that block and all the blocks after it, although this amount typically decreases over time as better mining equipment lowers the present cost of hashrate.

For current transactions, if the security budget relative to the transacted value gets low, all it means is that one must wait longer to achieve the same level of confidence in transaction finality. It doesn't abruptly render the currency "utterly worthless".
The lack of a bank account doesn't have to do with centralization, for the most part, and decentralization doesn't matter if you can't spend the decentralized "money" without turning it into the local currency, because to do that, you need to have a bank account.

Crypto doesn't help bank the unbanked.
This reminds me of the recent study where vaccinated people had less non-covid related deaths than non vaccinated. Obviously this isn’t because of the vaccine but demographics of each group, such as healthcare access.

Having access to healthcare, for example, makes one more likely to seek medical help at the briefest presentation of illness. Being the latter more common among the vaccinated, analyzing for positive cases only among hospitalizations for “covid-like symptoms” is extremely disingenuous.
> a multi-national company that frequently flew people to the United States HQ offices...

> The people that I see day to day are generally extremely fit. (Or is it just students?)

To be fair to your guests, replace "students" with "folks you'll tend to see around the HQ of a multinational / the places those offices tend to be located", and they hit the nail on the head.

The US is interesting because it's a HUUUUGE single market with political power distributed geographically rather than democratically. Have you spent much time in rural MS or WV? There really are huge swaths of the country that, very unfortunately, fit the "third world with cell phones" stereotype. Except actually without real cell phone coverage. And not quite third world because military bases and welfare dollars do a lot to prop up the floor.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that multinational corporate HQ campuses and their surrounding communities definitely aren't Real America (TM)(R).
Don't worry the legacy of the LHC is likely that the SSC would not have given us much. (Unless there are funny resonances at 20TeV+)

This is one of my biggest pet-peeves. I write TS primarily.

It seems like destructuring came out, and suddenly people destructure everything, even if it hurts readability.

Stuff like this, I see constantly:

const {
id
name,
age,
email,
} = await getUser()

I write it this way:

const user = await getUser()
// later
user.name

"user" here is typed, so you can hover over it/trigger autocomplete to see the props anyways.

Same thing with functions, I see a lot of:

function createUser({
id
name,
age
}: {
id: number
name: string
age: number
}) {
// code
}

Which, beyond just being ugly (though that's an opinion I guess) takes up an ABSURD amount of lines.

I do this:

interface CreateUserParams {
id: number
name: string
age: number
}

function createUser(params: CreateUserParams) {
// code
}
Because it’s a legal requirement to not encrypt the message?
It's not like the problem is that Harvard is "unattractive" to minorities.

The thing is that if someone goes to Harvard, their children are more likely to succeed. It's effectively an inheritable benefit; it's just not actually just that "people X did Y they deserve Z"; but what do you want to set up for people who will be born 5 or 10 years from today; do you want it to be the case that you can statistically predict the success of one of those future-children will just be less, and the reason why can be directly tracked back to historical overt racism?

Obviously tons of people are uncomfortable with affirmative action (which isn't as severe as your reductive description makes it); if you have literally any other way to reduce the measurable racial-based disadvantages that exist in our society there's a ton of people who would be very eager to hear it.
I've spent some time using google maps to look around the world and it's absolutly shocking to see huge parts of india and China where every piece of land for seemingly hundreds of miles are small family farms. The immensity of it is shocking.
Happy birthday! No great answers to meaning of life, but work focused on societal contributions helped me. In 2009 I was burned out on consulting for banks and telcos, switched to focusing on public sector challenges. Lots of needs for purpose-driven design, dev, product. Also coaching and mentoring, especially for social innovation. Have yet to hit lottery, and make less than I could with industry clients, but better for my sense of making a difference.
I think you're stretching my meaning a bit here.

Money transfer services do convey money from one person to another, and along the way they may provide additional services. But the focus there is on the service provided. I don't just put money into my American Express card in hopes that I somehow get more money back later; their job is to give money to merchants I patronize while protecting us both from certain problems and risks.

What I'm talking to is more along the lines of poker games and Ponzi schemes, both of which "just move money around" in the sense that no more money comes out than goes in, even though certain individuals may do better than others.

Buying a cryptocurrency as an "investment" is much more like the latter than the former.
