My guess is so that no one would get pissed off at the rules that come with the stock grant and use the extra comp to get an equivalent per-year salary from someone else.

If you get a million dollar stock grant that vests over 8 years, that's $125,000 in stock per year. Startups don't usually pay super well, so I wouldn't be surprised if you could get something equivalent from Google or Facebook. Especially if you come in with the stock grant paperwork, effectively making that your current compensation. You could maybe even get a raise.

They only have 140 employees; if 10 get pissed off an leave, that's 7% turnover right before their IPO, which is bad. This will still likely lock a lot of their employees in, without the risk of them quitting right before the IPO.
Great article. Bosch seems to be the go to for most electric bikes sold in london. My experience so far is OK; school run replacement has been brilliant. The range estimation is ridiculously bad! I find the battery bars are better estimator.

I this spurs on more entrants or drives more features. Recharging feels too frequent. There's no feedback on 'driving' style and impact on range. I'd love regenerative breaking. Silly things like a clock on the control pane would be hugely useful options.
You're just replacing one human-created fantasy with another.

Which is all well and good, but don't pretend you have any actual insight into the matter.
You realize it is not hard for a cyclist to hit 25-30mph without motor assist, right?
Heh Titoist was bad in USSR? But Tito was the best!
Wow, things like this blog series are exactly what I'm interested in! Thanks a lot!
Fermi did not think that aliens would get past the speed of light, but what we have found out in the last 40 years does make his paradox less striking. If Fermi was alive today I expect he would not have wondered "where's everyone?" Instead I think that he would be saying that there's a range of reasons why intelligent life is vanishingly rare. The dynamics of most solar systems (big planets migrate in) and the role of Jupiter as a comet catcher as well as the insights into the history of life and the miracle of the eucaryotic cell.
Not true at all:

- no loss of power with insulated batteries

- heat generated in battery pack and motor can heat the cabin with a heat pump

- energy density in batteries is steadily increasing

- price of batteries steadily decrease

All of this would work with the tech from a current Tesla, but flight time will get acceptable in a few years.

Car and truck are going to be 90% electric in a few years

Planes are going to follow after, but not before.
In pedal assist mode, the motor stops when you stop pedaling. So it is the same concept. In full throttle only control, obviously it is not even the same.
It s because they only hire idiots at Google. Im from a big company, I just dont name it and assume humans understand my opinions are my own :D
Googles mistake besides giving ads relevant to them and not what the user searched for is that they indexed everything (although not onion sites or anything like that) so the issue is garbage in, garbage out.

A new search engine would just drop the top x sites from its index, and be aggressive with dropping sites. Blog spam? Link farm? Quora? Pinterest? Wikihow? Don't index them at all. A Shitty wordpress site that's just copying stuff verbatim from other sites? Drop them. Over engineered SEO? News sites? Fake news? Satire sites? Don't bother with them etc. (or maybe put a clear disclaimer in the case of satire sites)

Make search about what it's supposed to be, discoverability.

There are so many golden sites out there to be discovered under the absolute cruft Google and the like bury us in. And the new 'you.com' isn't any better because they're just getting their results from Bing, and they've been caught taking their results from Google!
> Too bad ruby stopped short of doing the trivial obvious thing and just making blocks be regular values.

Abstractly, I kind of see the point, in practice, I don't see it makes much difference, and given Ruby’s two flavors of function-like objects, it seems to work out for the best.

> the inability to do anything with a block literal other than send it.

But sending lets you do anything else you’d want to to do with it. Specifically, to get either of the flavors of callables, you pass it to “proc” or “lambda”, and then use the result.
If Bitcoin is decentralized what are these centralized exchanges doing?
Perfectly reasonable, but seems to be innocent of all the usual discussion of the Fermi Paradox[1], Drake Equation[2] or the Dark Forest[3]. Also I don't see any reason all civilizations would pass through a 'radio age' when we might overhear them, or be able to pick up our transmissions.

Yes. Google indexes everything. This isn’t great for most of my workflows. I typically want to search a small network of reliable resources (StackOverflow, GitHub, Gitlab, Apple Developer documentation, etc.). You can narrow results somewhat, but the behavior feels janky. Combined technical docs and code search at scale is something I keep looking for.

Yes, the TS16949 that's a tough one. Also depends on the auditor. Sounds like yours wanted to show you how much more he knows about the Standard than you do. But Auditors is where all this Standards fall short: they have private interpretations of the Standards and sometimes you have to get back to the letters of the Standard with them...
You definitely don't do that on your first audits or as an organisation which just wants to pass.
As a consultant you can get a talk with the auditor and straight some things out - in the end the customer pays the bill and is able to change the auditor or the whole auditing organisation.

Oh man I love this audits where you can get all nitty-gritty over the interpretation of the Standard...but most of them are straight forward. I am sorry that you had such a hard time with yours
Nuclear is easier to dispatch than building enough storage. Fossil peakers are just cheaper and we are still operating on what brings most profit, not what's best for us long term.

Thing is, if you do have option for new pumped hydro, go for it. It's usually less problematic than normal hydrogeneration, and it's great storage system. I'm all for it where possible. For smoothing lead-following reactors, the storage tech we have is pretty good. More can be gained by moving inelastic but high inertia sinks to nuclear power - various material processing (steel, aluminum, etc.) as well as making green hydrogen (necessary not just for storage, but also for smelting - renewables really don't look good on green hydrogen without nuclear) and so on.

My imaginary best option is switching the financials of power generation to benefit any fully dispatchable sources - This is easier to do with nuclear or classic hydropower, but such categorisation would also allow for renewable Virtual Power Plants (i.e. mixed renewables and storage, possibly with some demand control). At the same time this would cut down on instability caused by peak renewable production cratering prices for everyone else.

At the same time, let's target for grid that has oversupply and switchable sinks like green hydrogen, climate-neutral fuels for things that can't be easily powered by grid, etc.
i think we're just incredibly lucky to have been able to go through all this progress: https://www.southampton.ac.uk/~cpd/history.html

also, would oil/plastic/hydrocarbons be as easy to source on another planet? having millions of years of biofuel stored under our feet just as we were getting ready to exploit it must be really lucky
Speed limit on bike lanes in the city is 30 kph, outside it is 45. So those rules already exist (here, in NL).

Two-dimensional does not necessarily mean two spatial dimensions. It is dimensionality, or orthogonality, in the most abstract sense. For all practical purposes, complex numbers represent a two-dimensional system.

It is not a coincidence that they arose in 16th century Italy in the context of "completing the square" and related 2D methods/intuitions for solving equations.
That wasn't exactly an issue, more like a feature that didn't exist yet.

The Pentium IIIs were the first CPUs that could consume enough power to cause heat problems if not throttled. OSes didn't yet anticipate that; they didn't yet have the concept of issuing halt instructions when there was no application work to do, they just let the CPU spin faster on a waiting-for-message loop. The OS makers soon recognized the need, and halting the CPU became built in to the OS by the time of either Windows 98 or 2000, so yeah, in the interim, tools like Rain were what you used.
Peter! wonderful to see your post here, thank you for helping me with my visas and greencards over the years!

You've got it back to front. The Labour Party introduced a completely impractical amendment which would have been impossible to pass into law, so that when the Conservatives voted it down they could use it to convince members of the public that the government want rivers filled with sewage. Classic opposition playbook.
To give a simple example - Mandelbrot set is a direct consequence of amazing properties of complex numbers and has nothing to do with two dimension.

Well, it looks great in two dimensions
Framework looks great! I actually have no real need to upgrade my hardware right now though, as all my devices still run fine. I'd be very interested in picking up a RISC-V model once it hits manufacturing though, they seem very promising.
My anecdata was collected on humanbenchmark.com with a fast monitor.

Is there a personal utility to reading more arbitrarily, or do you have specific titles you're trying to get through? Do you find that these numbers are representative of what you actually want, or what you think you should want to spend your time on?

What do you spend your time on for fun (not tracked)?

I used to try and read a lot of my Pocket saved articles, but now have a different relationship with that. I find that I couldn't give two shits about any of the blog posts I've saved, and actually that it takes time away from things I'd rather do, like stare blankly at a wall or play video games. That's goes especially for something I ostensibly should inform myself of for a vague sense of self-improvement, but actually most knowledge is kind of a hollow pursuit unless I tie it to something.

Using my Stromer ST1X — which lacks the top of the line motor of the ST3 and ST5 — I can bike at 45kph at any battery % above 30.

I am probably 140kg with bike, battery, laptop, clothes, and stuff.

Outside the cities I can go in the bike lane, and I am absolutely twice as fast as most bikes.

I live in the Netherlands, so everything being flat helps.
XP was the best.

Vista was good but wasn't optimized for the average hardware of the time.

7 was pretty darn good all around.

8 was bad. 8.1 was better than 8 but still worse than 7.

10 was better than 8.1 and almost as good as 7 until they started tightening the thumb screws on all of the telemetry and forced redirects to edge and bing, then they started blasting you with ads and foisting new services on you left and right and taking control of your taskbar layout against your will, nagging you to stay with the setup that serves their desires and not your desires.

Now 11 makes it twice as difficult to get your personal baseline setup, actively fights against user alterations, and disables crowd-sourced workarounds.

I'm guessing that Windows 12 will come with a drone that will taze you every time you open firefox and Windows 13 will require you to stare lovingly into the eyes of a bust of Bill Gates to activate the login prompt.
> Have we learn nothing from communism?

no? I mean, right now in most countries instead of "to protect the children" you could use the excuse of "to stop misinformation", "to prevent damage from antivaxxers" and the majority will cheer your censorship efforts.
> There's no standard C function for this. My colleague came up with the following nice trick.

One of the big things about C is that there is no standard library function for anything remotely nontrivial. So successfully coding in C relies on "tricks", and snippets and lore that have been passed on over the years.

Rust, meanwhile, has a check_for_all_zeroes crate or something.
> the role of Jupiter as a comet catcher

Do you happen to have any info on this?

Attempting to answer my own question, I found https://earthsky.org/space/is-it-true-that-jupiter-protects-... and also https://bigthink.com/hard-science/how-jupiter-protects-earth... but I was curious if you knew of better sources to read up on it.
That's the exact same setup I've got! I'm looking to drop Todoist though, hopefully the next elementary-planner update gives me some more options for syncing my tasks.
So then we create systems which send 10 nonsense emails with occasional flagged words along with every one real message, inundating them with so much data they cannot begin the handle it.

They already cannot handle the reams of financial reporting data they began requiring a few years ago - burdens which have made good companies shut down because the increased overhead was so great that doing business was no longer feasible.

These politicians are so ignorant of technology and real life itself that it’s a wonder we keep electing them.
In my opinion the throttled e-bikes should be treated as bicycles as long as they have pedals and are under 25kg and 250W power.

That would legalize my e-bike that I have used for 14000km in city saving a lot of carbon emissions and not sacrificing much as I can park it in bicycle stand.

Of course going faster than 20-25km/h in pedestrian traffic (where bicycles are allowed) is extremely dangerous. But from my experience going fast in car traffic 35-40 km/h (where bicycles are allowed) is safer than chugging along slowly as cars don't have a need for overtaking between traffic lights.
In general you are right, it is not relevant, except in this case the area in question was about 30 pixels square in the original badly lit night footage.

Here are the picture sin question : https://preview.redd.it/ik22sbz2e6z71.png?width=2170&format=...

With an area that small in those conditions, you'd rather not use any algorithmic interpolation or machine learning in a judicial setting.

Quoting another commenter here : "Expert witness said he had no way to know and never compared his work to original, [...] if he ever held his enhanced image next to original to see if they matched. Expert said no I never did that."
Buy a copy of Parallels, run the Windows 11 ARM64 insider preview in a VM. Works pretty great for everything but gaming.

If you want to activate it, use slmgr with some sketchy third party KMS server.
We have a team distributed over many time zones so we have to send messages to each other at "off hours". Thankfully we have a good understanding that this is for the convenience of the sender and the receiver can reply the following day.

I have one team member in Quebec and the way they handle this seems to make more sense than Portugal's. Basically, the employees have the right to refuse 'overtime'. So, the boss can message them, but they cannot be penalized for not responding.
>>“The fact that CCTV doesn’t reduce crime”

CCTV absolutely reduces crime in areas where petty crimes are actually enforced. The evidence provided by the camera is critical.
I have a question for the author - what safety precautions do you take against theft for such an e-bike, especially when going to public places like supermarkets? I recently came to the Netherlands and have heard that bike theft is common, especially for expensive bikes. I would guess that such an e-bike would be an attractive target, so do you take additional precautions when parking in public places (like 2/3/4 locks), or simply not park in public places at all?
Svelte's main differences include being compiled, and being truly reactive.

Actually if you have a bottleneck in multithreaded pooler - something really goes wrong. The database should consume most of resources.
I'd be happy to help tuning Odyssey to someone who will bachmark both poolers (in fact there's only one number - number of worker processes..well, maybe pool_size too).

pgagroal claims performance superiority over all poolers [0]. I doubt that Odyssey was used in transaction pooling mode in those experiments.

I would like to see some figures for the average $ received by the founders of YC companies, for the first five years of YC. It wouldn’t surprise me if employees of those companies have a higher average $ return than founders.
I don't understand this comment. There are tons of non e cargo bikes. Are you saying they're unsafe to use? You could simply walk the bike if the terrain is too steep.
Every attorney I have spoken to in the past has said that something like this is a clear and obvious violation of H-1B visa terms, so I'm curious what the "gray area" you are referring to is.

I don't understand why this article is trying to portray good things as dystopia.

As someone who grew up ~poor surrounded by ~poor people, having achieved some financial security, one of my top priorities in life is to not live surrounded by poor people anymore. If technology helps that, great. I feel like the opposite perspective can only come from lack of personal experience and therefore misplaced compassion.

Classism is fine. Classism being connected with racism-punching-down is a peculiarly American development (the classic examples of racism+classism throughout history in Europe/etc. are generally against minorities perceived as "unfairly" succeeding).
I don't think you need to defend yourself so vigorously in this thread. But I would say that what you're seeing is distinctly the American experience with e-bikes and bike enforcement.

Americans are generally clueless about e-bike laws. This includes police and e-bike owners. American e-bikes are marketed as having throttles, being to bypass traffic at high speeds using the bike lanes and bike paths, and not needing licensing/registration. As an analog cyclist, my experience is that e-bikers jump the lines at red lights, sometimes shoving you out of the way. With the bulk of my cargo bike, they sometimes instead jump around me on the sidewalk instead, which is kind of funny-terrifying to watch with their heavy bikes. On bike paths, e-bikes stand out for their high speed in crowds and you wonder if the "assist" from the motor is a binary on/off.

If all bikes were given more room and more consideration from drivers, this may not even be a real problem as each type would be able to spread out. But the infrastructure is pretty poor and police enforcement against drivers is even worse. So all the "alt transportation" people need to cram together in whatever meager space was won at the last road reconstruction meeting. E-bikes look great for converting drivers to bikes so no one wants to talk about banning them. But they also end up keeping their car driver mentality of me-first and objectifying everything else on the road around them.
Why would classification come first? That's entirely backwards. Surely we should understand what characteristics of a vehicle make it safe or unsafe, and then build the classifications around that to legislate against.

If both are the same safety, why make one illegal? It seems like a law which restricts liberty for no reason (other than legislative convenience, or because 'the government decided to tie it in with pedalling because they decided to').

It seems like the argument is 'bikes with pedals which can be powered with a button can never be classified as bikes because existing laws say that they are not classified as bikes'.

1. When talking to a US startup or US company, how do you ease in and tell the recruiter or the HR about the H1B1 which is easy and totally different from the onerous H1B?

Because most of them have never heard of the H1B1 and many of them get scared when they hear H1B1 because they mistakenly think it is H1B.

2. How cheap and quick is it to get a new H1B1? In dollars and in days.

You are overseas right now and not in the US.

3. What signs can you use to predict which YC companies can support visa?

By their employee count, funding amount, founder origin?
My Zoe keeps my toes warm all winter long, and it does it 30 seconds after I turn it on in -20 c weather. My diesel needs 10 minutes to warm up the cabin.

Heat pumps rock. Internal combustion engines suck. Fight me.
Every company says that, the obvious solution is to never name it when you speak. Why do these people need to say "Im a googler" and then immediately "but forget it, I speak on my own"... obviously there s value in the fact they re at Google and it will color their discourse which is already probably forbidden.

Dont name your company if you intend to speak for yourself.

It sounds like they may face fines for this. So, if they're just asking which pub to meet at, I don't think they'd receive a fine for that.
