I’ll start by saying that I’m not a Tesla owner and have only been in a few but frankly I think the peak of the UX experience in cars is having iOS/Android connectivity and plugging that fucker in and having full access to your phone. I don’t want some custom interface and I’m pretty sure I don’t want a big touchscreen (in fact I’m a Mazda driver and I love their stance against touchscreens). And I think until we reach level 5 that’s where we need to be because it’s distracting and dangerous. I think that any gap between VW/BMW/Merc today and whatever is meant to be magic about Tesla is insignificant.
The battery capacity however… different story!

Edit: it occurred to me maybe you mean their self driving tech - I think the reality is they and everyone else is really sooooo far away from this, it’s basically as far away as fusion power - just another 5 years. When a electric car can navigate my shitty rural roads or the streets of Rome, were there. Highway driving isn’t it and frankly I think the evidence is still out as to whether the high level driver assists are actually beneficial compared to something like lane warnings and that modulating cruise control which makes my regular 9 hr drives a breeze
The "e-bike" in that is clocked as hitting a max of 60km/hr during the test. That's not an e-bike to my mind.
Reminds me of the story of Zhuangzi, the Chinese philosopher, on how one thing can be used in very different ways:

There was once a man from Song who was skilled at making ointment for chapped hands. For generations, his family had made their living by washing raw silk. A traveler happened to hear of it and offered to purchase the formula for a hundred catties of gold. The man called his family into conference and said, ‘For generations we’ve made our living washing silk and never earned more than a few pieces gold. Now we can sell our formula and earn a hundred catties of gold in an instant. Let’s give it to him!’ Once the traveler had the formula, he went to the court of Wu to persuade the king to use it in dealing with his troublesome neighbor state of Yue. The king put him in command of his forces to engage Yue’s navy in a midwinter river battle and the forces of Yue were routed. The King of Wu carved a slice from his newly gained territory and rewarded the traveler with a fief. The traveler and the silk washer were alike in possessing the formula of preventing chapped hands; one used it to gain a fief, the other to wash silk – it was in the use of the thing that they differed."

That is basically zero covid strategy. You need to be lucky that 1. Virus don't change like smallpox and polio (not true for covid).
2. Vaccines stop infection or herd immunity is a thing (not true for covid)
3. Virus evolves into less virulent form and less transmissive (at this moment it is the reverse for covid).
Next year we will see how well zero covid strategy plays out in China.
Isn't the whole reason manufacturer make SUVs, that legislators realized way back, that it would be unreasonable to apply regular pedestrians safety standards to off-road vehicles, which were a small niche back then? Then subsequently manufacturers exploited that loophole with SUVs, saying that their huge and tall gas-guzzers, which are sure to murder any pedestrian who dares to wander in front of it, are made made for 'offroading'. I think the Cybertruck is the logical extreme of that line of thinking, where they dropped all pretense of pedestrian safety.
Well, I'm not a mathematician just a coder, so a lot of the proof went over my head... but my immediate thought was that this is a great formal architecture you could use to bake some complicated logic you derived from symbolic regression or a neural network into sets of bitmasks (or multibit / "color" masks). Laying these over each other could solve certain problems instantly by shining light through the physical structure. I guess any logic can be baked through a series of masks or gates and that isn't new, but the spatial format here is novel. I could even see some VM emulating these spaces as a way to speed up otherwise more processor intensive repetitive algorithms.
I think what these stories reveal is just how much people underestimate how common domestic abuse is and it doesn't appear to discriminate based on status, fame, career choice, etc.

As far as building healthier communities and what we can learn, I think it's definitely healthy to maintain and continue to improve the focus on helping victims and prevent potential victims from becoming a target of abuse. Everyone should be able to be part of a safe community without fear of harm.

I think there's another dimension that is significantly less popular, which is about enabling people who may have abusive tendencies to get the help they need. Society generally wants to dismiss and discard these people but that just pushes the problem into the shadows, as it's social suicide basically to come forward and say "I need help, I can't control my behaviour / keep hurting people / etc." Especially if you have any degree of publicity around your life and career.

Cancel culture was like a spark that started a fire that shone a light into these dark spaces, and some people are trash that need to be called out and exposed, especially people who get their rocks off on abuse, but there's shades of grey in between "victim" and "abuser" that don't fit the conventional good guy vs bad guy stereotypes, and it's in that realm I think there's a lot of progress yet to be made in identifying, preventing, and responding to abusive behaviours as a society.

I don't really have solutions but it's a multifaceted issue that needs solutions from all angles.
I'm not quite sure what 'housing' means in that quote because CPI specifically excludes most housing costs.

RPI takes into account housing costs such as mortgage interest payments, building insurance etc. I'm not sure what USA measure, but the UK shifted to CPI in 2003 to harmonise with EU.

So no, UK/EU/CPI inflation measures basically don't include housing related costs. Certainly not the price of houses, which might be the thrust of OPs point.
That are the numbers of October. Tesla doesn't sell many cars in Europe in October, as they are always produced at the quarter start, then shipped and sold towards the quarter end. This also means, that the September numbers, where the Model 3 did almost beat the Golf, are inflated. The truth is somewhere in the middle.

So, even if the Model 3 isn't quite beating the Golf yet, it is coming closer. This will even be more the case, once Tesla produced in Europe, as there are no import taxes on the vehicle and the prices lower.

TIL that the German "Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund", and I guess the Norwegian version, too (?), is a translation from Latin "Aurora habet aurum in ore". Apparently, this was, at least partially, meant literally (Aurora was said to have worn gold in her hair and mouth).
What's missing in this analysis is everything not a car or pedestrian. Bikes, scooters, ... So this vision can't become truth. Now I understand these are rare in the US, so maybe you're from over there?

My guess is we'll establish a maximum speed allowed to drive for humans, say 30km/h up to 50km/h. Speeds above this are reserved for robotic drivers, outside inhabited zones. Some of these roads are vehicle only, like we have E- routes in the EU or I-routes in the US. Here, non human traffic is forbidden. Then there are the secondary routes, where high speed should be robot-only and robots have to take care for other traffic. Roads can have markings adapted for easy optical recognition, but driverless cars are required to drive safely without them.

Eye contact with a driver does not at all make it safe to cross a street, as current death toll proves.

No, I mean that BooKing.com is morally flexible enough to hire anyone who claims they are willing to program in Perl, because it's so damned hard to find good Perl programmers who don't know any other languages they enjoy programming in more, and can't find better jobs than programming in Perl.

If BooKing.com were trying to hire JavaScript programmers, they'd have a vastly more enormous pool of young and old, well educated and self taught, local and remote, highly experienced and self motivated talent to hire from, and wouldn't have to be so flexible about who they hired to program in Perl.

And the moral flexibility of that company (not the programmers) also expresses itself through those "dark UX patterns" that BooKing.com is so famous for.

(Although they should probably talk to somebody about their domain name: I always assumed BooKing.com was an anti-royalist web site. ;) )

Before an AI confidently proposes interpretations of metaphors, it must really provide credentials of intelligence. Otherwise, you risk going in the direction of that fault which is a major mark of the "especially unrefined", of taking one's conclusions for stable and truthy instead of tentative.

In the specific case, some will interpret "gold in mouth" as "the best time to be active", which is very different from "delightful". So, it is best to remain literal, in order to avoid the pollution of injecting prejudicial interpretations.
This is amazing. My dad is like this, very resourceful with very less and creative with the limited resources he has as hand, and has lived/survived through life like this.

But there is a problem now. As a family, thanks to the incomes of the kids, have enough to survive (and thrive), but he continues with his efficiency-only approach, instead of the just-buy-it approach.

- So, we see plastic bottle based plant pots all over our house, instead of normal clay or terracotta plant pots, which look a bit better.

- We see DIY style visible piping and hosing to achieve drainage around the house where required, instead of hiring a professional plumber to have hidden piping (which would cost more)

- You come home one day and there is spray paint smell everywhere because of yet another (although very useful) project, and that paint causing asthma related problems to the kids (his grandkids)
- Etc.

And now I am confused. I am not sure to tell him to stop (and kill one of his interests in living life) or to etl him continue (while the rest of the family continues being majorly inconvenienced).

Note that, we are a subcontinental family, and living in a joint-family is very common, and moving out is not an option for me (it will kill him more than asking him to stop).

(Also, while writing this it was very helpful. I think while writing this, I have decided that I will let him continue, as my inconveniences are much slight compared to the damage it will do him and his, I guess its called "agency")

The USD vs other currencies cannot be compared to USD vs commodities which paint a more transparent picture because no one wants their own currency to be stronger than USD due to export competitiveness getting effected. So whenever USD goes down, they buy more USD with their own currency to keep the peg contained in a range. I know all are supposedly free floats central banks do buy and sell to contain volatility. So the thing that needs to be watched is not the ratio of currency but the USD denominated forex levels which as per my understanding have raised across the board as capital leaves US shoes to these countries. I don't have data to back it up but at least in non tourism dependent economies it is the case.
If you and your neighbors can run an electric kettle while having a pie in the oven without a blackout, the local grid is strong enough to support electric car charging during the night when fewer kettles and ovens are operating.

The real issue is building enough charging points in cities where people don't have access to a garage, but that's just a matter of investing some money and will happen naturally as demand picks up.
Opel are a part of PSA, now a part of Stellantis. The whole bunch is a but late to the electric party, but they're working on it, it's not like they've refused, it's just taking time.

Are you assuming interest rates and inflation are somehow uncoupled?
Europe built stuff like this long before colonization: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Cathedral

In Europe such constructions happened in many places, no other part of the world built similar things. No, not even Asia, Europe were ahead of them at this point.
Yeah they supported the right-wing dictator that deposed the king who then joined Pol Pot and enabled his rebellion to succeed. And policy shifted after the 70s when they decided communism was ok, as long as you opposed the USSR. This was the justification for normalizing relations with China, who wound up supporting the Khmer Rouge, since they opposed post-war Vietnam (who they had just supported in the Vietnam War), which was a USSR ally.

It was a complicated time to be deciding who to coup.

I see your point in theory but in practice:

- poor people have less money to repay interest on the debt after buying necessities at an inflated price

- interest rates rise following inflation which will increase debt repayment costs and likely offset any benefits gained from debt being inflated away

- it is very rare for 'people' to actually issue loans, I imagine 99.99% of loans are issued by banks

I was with you about valuing things that are utilitarian until you mentioned math. Solving math problems isn't really akin to the other things you mentioned. After all, you don't read poetry to solve a poetry problem and walk away feeling as if you benefited from it. Hopefully not.

But poetry is a fantastic analogy, and I think you may have selected that subconsciously. A great moment of seeing something mathematical with total clarity is exactly like the moment you suddenly understand a poem and have access to what the poet meant. Math doesn't actually have problems and doesn't need to be solved. It exists whether you figure it out or not.

What's sort of neat about this is that it physically demonstrates that fact.
Harry Potter was a "chosen one" who was given special attention by his teachers. I don't think his teachers gave the same attention to other students, who didn't have a thunder-shaped scar in their brow and couldn't speak you-know-who's name without wincing.

Rather, I think it was Hermione Granger that embodied the role model of the student from an underprivilged background who works hard to achieve academic success.
Not just left and right, but establishment, too. Eliot Higgins was an SA mod, who got into analysing images out of the Arab spring uprisings after learning that some of his fellow goons had gone there to volunteer for one side or another. He got picked up by the US/UK FP/MIL/INT establishment after his excellent documentation of modified volcano rockets in the Syrian civil war.

I think that wasn't just for his journalism though, but from worry that he might become another headache like Wikileaks, should be start focusing on other conflicts. They groomed him to be a bulwark against less friendly OSINT journalism.
This system is useless because it does not communicate the reasoning behind a downvote, nor is it objective in the first place. People downvote for many reasons, and quality is the seems usually to be the most likely. You could make the most informative and objective correct video, and toxic communities could downvote it because they feel triggered for some absurd reasons, or because it competes with their favored content-creator, or because of reasons which are independent of the video itself

You must be pretty deep inside the bubble of the topic, as also the bubble of the content-creator, to be able to evaluate the value of the rating. And that makes it worthless, because most people can't be that deep and follow everything. And the people who are, are more likely re-enforcing their own ignorance.

The Ratio is one of those tools which are making sense when they are fresh, but become corrupted over time, making it useless after a while.

Inflation does not affect (relatively speaking) the poorest more. On the contrary, it's a tax on people that have a lot of cash or cash-equivalent assets. That's not the poor. The poor have either very little cash or even negative (via debt), so inflation benefits them.

And you can see this historically, too:

Historical inflation rate chart: http://www.aboutinflation.com/_/rsrc/1369736825466/inflation...

Wealth gap inequality: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F...

You can literally see how the wealth gap inequality nose dives in the high-inflation environment of the 70s and then continually increases after low-inflation rates become the norm for decades after around 1982.

Inflation is a tax, should be seen as such but is a tax on the rich in cash (I keep insisting on the term cash because that's what inflation taxes, if you are rich in other assets inflation may or may not result in an effective taxation of your wealth). Monetary and fiscal policy should be designed with this in mind.
I think I can explain that. A real GUI provides more than just visualization, otherwise you'll have to re-invent the wheel and will likely miss important platform conventions. You need support for drag & drop from and to outside the application, standard folders and standard file/folder Open and Save dialogs, command/action abstractions to implement unlimited Undo/Redo, near arbitrary keyboard shortcuts for all menu entries (which adapt to the platform conventions somehow), standard Quit, Print, Page Setup and Help menus, support for internationalization, support for platform-specific layout guidelines (spacing, default buttons, button ordering), tray icon support, support for platform-specific notification and indexing APIs, programmer access to file icons (surprisingly tricky on Linux), standard packaging and deployment, support for code signing, and so on and so forth.

Most "browser-based" applications don't even get basic keyboard shortcuts right. Only few of them are really usable and not a single one has better functionality then its native counterparts. There is a bit of a bubble around web "apps" created by a startup culture. The problem is that most of those startups die within a few years. I'm not saying that a browser-based app cannot be useful, but it's equally important to be aware that many types of applications require a real GUI. It doesn't have to be native (e.g. Qt is not "native" in the traditional sense), but it needs to be fairly complete and respect platform APIs.
> The only problem is that you have to pay tax on the amount rolled over using your tax bracket in that year. Here is what you do...

To be clear: When you roll pre-tax 401k dollars over to Roth IRA dollars, you pay income tax rates, not capital gains rates. There's no 0% bracket to take advantage of. To do it tax-free, you can roll over only what you deduct each year, i.e. the $25,100 standard deduction in your example. Otherwise you're paying taxes.

The point of Roth conversions is to avoid the 10% penalty on withdrawals from other retirement accounts before you're 59.5 years old, not to avoid taxes. You can minimize your taxes by doing the conversions in chunks over years rather than all at once, though, also known as a Roth conversion ladder.

The usual plan here is to live on after-tax capital gains and qualified dividends (which have a 0% bracket, as you say) in the early years of retirement while slowly moving money from 401k and traditional IRA accounts to a Roth IRA. When the non-retirement accounts are exhausted, the Roth takes over.
I used those words to make a point. If an area would become anarchist as you say, I'd call it an anarchist state. And then that area has a military presence, areas with military presence uses that to influence surrounding areas, creating ruler anarchist areas, or ruler anarchist states. That will happen, it has happened at every time anything like this has been tried ever in history, there is no changing that. I will not submit to a warlord just because you want to run your thought experiment yet again.
