I genuinely believe this is indeed a deliberate overreaction on the part of Mothers Against Drunk Driving. I see their statements as catastrophizing.

This is one of the hazards of vaguely worded laws crammed into pass-or-die reconciliation bills. We really have no idea how to satisfy this now that it is codified into law. It might just be nothing, or it could be something intrusive. I doubt Congress will go back and pass a new law or amend this because of all the gridlock.

> further regulation ... moves more polluting production overseas where we have no control over its impact on the world.

Large corporations and not governments offshore production. Arguably this hasn't much to do with regulations but wholly different economies such that the comparative cost advantage is 10x or more. And of course it's possible to check under what conditions suppliers produce things.
> What kind of person voluntarily enrolls their children in vaccine "trials"?

Okay, I'll bite.

Exactly how do you propose demonstrating the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine (or any drug) in children without running clinical trials where you test it on actual, you know, children?
You overestimate the difficulty. The real difficulty is not the individual unit, but the mass production.

Many small startups have produced low volume of cars that are competitive.

The truck itself is really not that magically complex as you assume. And Tesla has lots of experience with the most important parts like batteries and motors. Far more then Ford.

What people here underestimate is actually the supply chain, specially of batteries while overestimating how difficult it is to make any individual truck.
The down round situation was probably the result of anti-dilution protection, meaning it was baked into the previous rounds documents, not something that was renegotiated. Anti-dilution protection basically says that if the company closes a Series B financing at a price lower than the price of the Series A, the Series A investors get an adjustment to their fully-diluted ownership (ie get additional ownership). In the worst case, the Series A shares are effectively repriced to the Series B price, but most often the adjustment is much less. These terms would be part of the Series A term sheet and deal documents, not something that is raised when the Series B occurs.

This is well written and deserves my upvote, because sparse-checkout is part of git and knowing how it works is useful.

That said, there's absolutely no reason to structure your code in a monorepo.

Here's what I think GitHub is doing:

1) Encourage monorepo adoption

2) Build tooling for monorepos

3) Selling tooling to developers stranded in monorepos

Microsoft, which owns GitHub, created the microsoft/git fork linked in the article, and they explain their justification here: https://github.com/microsoft/git#why-is-this-fork-needed

> Well, because Git is a distributed version control system, each Git repository has a copy of all files in the entire history. As large repositories, aka monorepos grow, Git can struggle to manage all that data. As Git commands like status and fetch get slower, developers stop waiting and start switching context. And context switches harm developer productivity.

I believe that Google's brand is so big that it led to this mass cognitive dissonance, which is being exploited by GitHub.

To be clear, here are the two ideas in conflict:

* Git is decentralized and fast, and Google famously doesn't use it.

* Companies want to use "industry standard" tech, and Google is the standard for success.

Now apply those observations to a world where your engineers only use "git".

The result is market demand to misuse git for monorepos, which Microsoft is pouring huge amounts of resources into enabling via GitHub.

It makes great sense that GitHub wants to lean into this. More centralization and being more reliant on GitHub's custom tooling is obviously better for GitHub.

It just so happens that GitHub is building tools to enable monorepos, essentially normalizing their usage.

Then GitHub can sell tools to deal with your enormous monorepo, because your traditional tools will feel slow and worse than GitHub's tools.

In other words, GitHub is propping up the failed monorepo idea as a strategy to get people in the pipeline for things like CodeSpaces: https://github.com/features/codespaces

Because if you have 100 projects and they're all separate, you can do development locally for each and it's fast and sensible. But if all your projects are in one repo, the tools grind to a halt, and suddenly you need to buy a solution that just works to meet your business goals.
Off topic but prompted because Fedora and Ubuntu sites keep pushing in this direction... Do you use snap or flatpak? Preferring not to learn a new technology in this space, I've stuck with apt-get and dnf. I guess the dichotomy is that snap/flatpak are for (desktop) applications whereas the system package managers are more for system packages? Neither flatpak or snap seem very common outside of desktop environments (i.e. server deploys or Docker environments).

Curious to hear from others about your experience with either flatpak or snap.

This is a pretty typical growth pattern. Industrial zone establishes and city is set far away in a safe area. City expands and resident need cheap housing. The cheap housing is built near the industrial zone as that is how economic forces work. People then see this and say they built industrial next to the poor people when the opposite occurred. Now the industry is giving cancer to poor people and needs to be punished. Who is right and who is wrong?

I think you are largely right, America is no longer a place where a white family can own a house and raise a family on a single blue collar income. We've returned to productivity levels on par with the rest of the world. Does that mean the government has stopped working? No, it means the the rest of the world caught up. The sooner rust belt types accept that they're no longer on top of the world the sooner we can start trying to solve problems that are actually solvable.

Environmental exposure is major factor, especially with heavy metals in the diet. Heavy metals can drive inflammatory responses and metals like lead are associated with cognitive decline. Lead exposure historically was associated with high-traffic locations (typically poorer people live closer to high-traffic zones, which also leads to asthma).

This could lead to all kinds of confounding factors, i.e. people with different lead exposure history could respond differently to 'anti-inflammatory diets'. Then there's liver damage; the liver processes many toxins and unprocessed toxins could cause neural damage and dementia, there's literature on that as well.
Most of the criticism about wokeness is directed towards the social science and humanities departments. I'd suspect that STEM graduates tend to be less woke than the average population, but they don't have the same cultural influence.
Gonna have to side with city zoning being the wrong party here. It’s really the people who represent the tax base that should be protecting said tax base.
It seems like, even if intentional, that it’s a sensible optimization. Among multi-car collisions, drivers’ side small offset collisions I’d expect to be vastly more common than passenger side small offset collisions.

In both single and multi car collisions, we will assume there’s a driver in all cars, but less than 100% chance for there to be a front-seat passenger in all cars.
Encyclopedia Britannica Films: Despotism (1946)

Perhaps the judge had read articles in the past about upsampling gone wrong (here's one that's also from the verge- https://www.theverge.com/21298762/face-depixelizer-ai-machin...). If the prosecution wanted to zoom in to show something that wasn't visible on the big TV, I think it's reasonable to be worried that whatever they want to show would be thrown off by sharpening algorithms or the rounding that happens when you blow up 97 pixels of video onto a 1920px screen

It sounds like what everyone in this thread needs is a database file system. This was always my favorite proposed feature of Windows Longhorn that never made the cut. Almost 2 decades later and Microsoft's latest OS still doesn't have this feature.

Another 'tool' I've used in the past:

We had customers that wanted 'permissions' for their "sub" accounts so they could have fine grained access to features. They would threaten to not use our system until this was implemented.

Implementing this feature was a lower priority and more difficult to implement for us then other revenue generating features (also a good way to prioritize things).

The interesting bit is they still used our system, despite the missing feature. I think because we focused on things that generated revenue. We kept good conversations with our customers and let them know when we thought we would add it. We kept delaying it and it took us 6+ months. In the meantime, we increased our (and their) revenues the whole time.

Once we finally rolled out the feature, existing users didn't really care and new customers just had the feature. This strategy worked really well a number of times.
Yeah, it's a junction point, but it's also useless. Open a command box and CD to it; now what? A file explorer and set it as the directory, again, now what?
Maybe it makes sense if the whole device needs to be installed in an inaccessible place frequently and most people would be unlikely to take advantage of a wired connection. Or maybe their statistics of the common usage of the equipment actually support it. Or both, I don't know.

In any case, since you're already being sold $2000 worth of equipment for the absurdly low price of $500, I'm not quite sure that a complaint about some adapter is in order.
To test this hypothesis, what matters is whether or not the people who DO actually insist on saying "Latinx" instead of "Latino" and "Pregnant people" rather than "Pregnant women" are overeducated. I suspect many of them probably have PhDs.

If I understand this article correctly, as of April 2021, you can run Windows on ARM under Parallels virtualization software, which is a Virtual Machine, or VM. So that's not direct to hardware, which I thought Boot Camp was?

Maybe I need to caveat it more, but I'm really focused on the range from, say, ≈5mph (uphill on a "leg-bike", or starting from a stop at a light or stop sign) to ≈25mph (roughly my top speed on a leg-bike or e-bike).

In that range, and in mixed traffic (which is unfortunately most urban riding in the US), a 5mph difference can be a step change in terms of whether drivers even feel the need to pass me at all. 15mph is only 50% faster than 10mph, but can totally flip the "who's passing who" dynamic from "cars passing me frequently+aggressively" to "cars hesitate, back off, and then I get ahead / pass the next cars in line at the next light."

This is cool, but I do find it odd that GitLab and Gitea isn't supported. It's always strange to me seeing people choose to build their platforms dependent on proprietary 3rd party infrastructure when good open-source self-hosted alternatives are available and easy to set up.

This article seems to be ultra out of date and it doesn't cite the specific crash data showing why they grouped cars the way they did.

For example he's grouping BMW and Mercedes right below Volvo.. at least in the case of the Frontal Small Overlap test that doesn't seem right at all. The Small Overlap Frontal test was introduced in 2012.

The Honda Accord in 2013 was acing that test, BMW and Mercedes were failing it miserably for a few more years. The 2013 Accord IIRC should have been rated at least as high as the Volvos.

I have a 2013 Subaru, it got 5 stars in the frontal small overlap test as well, years ahead of the BMWs and Mercedes.

Something is just off about the whole thing if you remember back to when these tests were introduced and you were looking at buying a car.

Tesla pretty much never got anything but 5 stars in these 2 tests IIRC, not sure where that came from.

The article would have been much better if it linked to the specific crash data to support the claims. IIHS has all that data publicly available IIRC. It is good stuff to look at when buying a car.

BMW, Mercedes, and Toyota/Lexus were the real outliers who had appeared to try to "game" the old benchmarks and then failed these new tests the most spectacularly.
It's not necessarily derogatory, it depends on the context.

"Normie" just means "ordinary", "average", or "uninitiated". It usually means someone with very conventional political or cultural views but it can also mean "someone who isn't part of a subculture or group" ie developers talking about laptops might say "normies don't usually need more than 8GB of memory but some development tasks require more to be comfortable". Other times it's used in a more derogatory sense to imply that someone is a bit too credulous towards the establishment of the day ie "normies think that corruption and inequality only exist in developing countries".

> let's try to remember that further regulation without industry input

Industry contributes all the time. Their contribution is to make sure nothing at all gets done by funding politicians, lawyers and fake science. This pattern has been repeated ad naseum with lead, asbestos, PCBs, climate, etc.

In a just world this kind of bad faith action would mean at a minimum industry is ignored in the policy process while a solution is imposed on them. Better would be to wipe out the shareholders in order to compensate for the externalities they've inflicted on others.

I'm quoting their copy here to make sure my criticism is accurate:

Vagrant? Maybe the "single command" is good? Am I just being too much of a mounting-it-locally-with-curlftpfs guy?

> Multipass can launch and run virtual machines and configure them with cloud-init like a public cloud.

I am already confused. Are these VMs on a public cloud or not? If they are on my local machine, it's not really a test of the cloud (hint: Testing problems with virtual machines is not the difficult part of simulating a cloud on your computer, testing the possible failures with the other 200- hosted message queues and databases is). Again, what is this getting me over Vagrant or Virtualbox?

> Prototype your cloud launches locally for free.

I am still at a loss to understand what exactly is the selling point of this tool. Is it literally just "vagrant, but for Ubuntu"? I really don't get it.

It's the same when people move next to the airport and then complain about noise.

In general this can be solved with an extension of property rights, the industrial zone/airport/music venue etc can own the rights to "pollute" the neighboring areas, much like buying air rights in a city. Then it's clear when you purchase / rent / what level of noise / pollution you can expect.

This allows market forces to work, if after a certain time the city is bigger and that land is more valuable for quality housing then they can buy the rights from the polluter and shut it down.

The cited B12 vitamin turns out to come from bacteria, not plants or animals. Humans used to get it by eating plants because they weren't washed well.
