Perhaps it is because many ICE car components degrade with approximately similar pace. If it were just the suspension that would give up, it would be worthwhile to repair if the remainder had many km left in them. But if you know that it is just a matter of time until another expensive repair, then you throw in the towel at the first one, perhaps.
And make Toyota more money.

At least here, these leased vehicles are sold as second-hand, and often sold once or twice again after that. This works fairly well, and most vehicles live a fairly long life. However Toyota only really makes money on the first sale.

By taking the cars in and refurbishing them, Toyota can make money on the second and third sale.

Good thing is this might make cars be around for longer, which can have environmental benefits. However one potential downside is that older cars are usually fundamentally less safe than newer cars, so it might be detrimental to Vision Zero[1]. I doubt the refurb would drastically change safety features like crash structures, number of airbags and similar.

If that's true, couldn't someone just print out a fake invoice, with no way for them to verify it either way?

It appears that the US/Canada border is closed to water o or virtual flyovers. Selecting a location in NW Montana flys you right over multiple mountain ranges. It took me a minute to realize that the incorrect, straight line portion of the path starts where the river flows back into Canada. The strict no fly zone means it has to fly along the border until the river returns to the US.
I really hope this will support VR when it comes out.

> I was reading about it some time ago.

> In the 90s Green party of Germany built its identity around being anti-nuclear. Meanwhile Schroeder (who came from conservatives) had a problem with miners aggressively pushing to preserve coal mines.

Schröder was a social democrat not a Conservative, however it is true that miners still hold a disproportionate influence with the SPD, one of the reasons why Germany has not moved off coal as quickly as they could have.

> They formed otherwise unlikely alliance against nuclear power. This resulted in lots of propaganda and actual laws being implemented in order to dismantle nuclear plants, which impacts Germany to this day.

It was not an unlikely alliance, since the greens became a signicant power and the liberals (FDP) moved into the direction of a free market Liberal instead of social Liberal it was always the second coalition option. It was largely considered only a question of time until the greens became part of a federal coalition government.

It also needs to be pointed out that quite a few older plants got extensions on their operation certificate in exchange for operators not trying to extend other plants.

Finally it was actually the Conservative Merkel government which really nailed down the move away from nuclear. Knowing anything about how she did politics you can be sure that there was widespread support for this.

> Given ties that Schroeder has to Gazprom, he could have also other motives in not allowing Germany to be too energy independent.
I've found this to be true too. And unfortunately, those "in-between" users make up 99% of all users.
The best way to change your habits is to really understand and appreciate what they're doing for you. You're not running towards whatever your procrastination mechanism of choice may be; you're running _away_ from something else. This is why procrastinating has that tepid feeling of boredom, as you don't really want to click onto the next video / reddit / HN page, but you feel compelled to do so.

I highly recommend How We Change [0]. It was the first book in my long journey of trying to "read my self out of my depression" that was really insightful. It lays out why people choose to not change (tethered by their procrastination or other habits they deem to be fruitless), and only by seeing and appreciating that _fear of hope_ can you start to approach the (at times) extremely difficult task of authoring your life.

Did you even read it? They're arguing that keeping a strict lockdown for long has too serious negative effects, not that it isn't effective in combating an airborne virus, which it is.

Furthermore, it's from October 2020, more than a year ago. We have vaccines now and they're helping, but not stopping the virus fully. Hospitals are still filling up in some places, and for that various stages of restrictions up to lockdown are the main ways stop it.
Both words were in use at the same time, by the same people, for different contexts. And, none of them who wrote the two-syllable word, on earliest remaining records, spelled it with a "t".

To demonstrate that "often" came from "oft" would require evidence that does not exist.

> Presumably their storage will be more durable than yours.

Backup storage doesn't necessarily need to be more durable than the thing it's backing up, as long as it has different failure causes. (also, "my storage" or a replica of it could easily be rented from a different cloud provider, but generally, if a single event impacts my home storage and my email provider at the same time, I likely have other worries)

> What other reasons do you have?

Companies temporarily or permanently suspend users for a long list of reasons, often without warning. Companies are not safe from bugs or outages. Accounts can get hacked even if you're careful. E-Mail is extremely important and at the same time usually a small amount of data, so easy to back up.
Goodbye bangernomics. Let's hope we do something about the dire public transport in the UK to fill the gap.

> And let LEA access all of the content and seize/prosecute illegal content. Really not that different than storing your content on any of the cloud storage providers. With the exception that your data would be always guaranteed to be highly available, and not on just one or two centralized cloud storages.

It’s not that simple: if you host anyone’s content, you’re taking on personal risk (do you want to have to convince law enforcement that the pirated Disney movie or child pornography served from your home IP was served entirely without your knowledge?), giving up your resources (“Netflix is slow, turn off the mirror and see if it gets better!”), and getting slower performance/reliability (e.g. why OpenSea uses GCP instead of IPFS) immediately in the hopes that it will at some point in the future become worthwhile.

Note also that cloud storage is centralized administratively but distributed for reliability. I would give very long odds that you’re more likely to lose data through random IPFS nodes disappearing / dropping your data than on S3, and if you have to run your own geographically replicated nodes it’ll cost more in your time until you have a very large amount of data.

Statistically nobody does that, and because P2P networks need to significantly over-provision to compensate for unreliable nodes it’s hard to get anywhere close to competitive. The Linux world has the freedom ethos, no concerns about copyright/malware/etc., and still few people torrent ISOs because it’s usually slower.

My favorite example is Zendesk. They’re a customer support company with all their GitHub issues turned off, forcing you to use their support system. Of course, if you email them telling them they broke their library (for the 3rd time this year) and forget to email them on your account holder email they’ll respond that they only take requests from the designated email, and say goodbye.

Even when you use the right email you’re still playing telephone between some poor support person and a dev. Absolute trash-tier company, I have a backlog item to completely scrap their SDK from my apps I just haven’t gotten around to it.

Re Xenix 68k hardware - there's also Tandy. From the Xenix Wikipedia article: "Tandy more than doubled the XENIX installed base when it made TRS-XENIX the default operating system for its TRS-80 Model 16 68000-based computer in early 1983"

Apparently the TRS also had some unique extra chips, who knows if they may have been used for propping up memory management. (Z80 that apparently also worked as a kind of IO coprocessor, and some PAL chips mentioned in connection with Xenix[1])

> ... not when the engine dies which is probably the last thing to go.

The engine can be the last thing to go, if you are good about checking and changing your oil.

If you let the oil run low, or let it sludge up, or don't promptly detect a cooling system leak [1], that will damage the bearings, and then it is only a matter of time before it dies.

[1] Some engines can have the head gasket start to leak, which lets coolant into the combustion chamber (which is bad). Worse are the engine designs that integrate the water pump into the engine block. If the water pump leaks (which they often do, it drips coolant directly into the oil, which is super bad.

An external water pump, in contrast, will just leak on the outside of the engine onto the ground. In either case, the coolant will run low, and eventually the engine will overheat. However, in the external pump case, you can just fix the leaky pump, and assuming you didn't try to run it overheated, you're fine.

But with an internal water pump, by the time the coolant has run low, you've severely degraded the oil too, and likely damaged the bearings. In addition, replacing the internal pump usually means dropping the entire engine out of the vehicle, which is far more costly.

Thus endeth my rant on water pumps.

That's a really small number if I'm honest. Did they mean $5.5 trillion?
> Just to say maybe it wasn't scarcity all year long.

Society changed very slowly historically speaking, so yes, there may have been long stretches of peace just as there have been even much later in some parts of the world. However if we understand the purpose of the agricultural revolution to be producing more bodies for warfaring/conquest and consequently leading to the creation of bureaucracy and Civilization (as Fukuyama would argue), then the incentive for which would have been driven by a keen awareness of scarcity and a history of violent warfare. It would be no small coincidence however that this take fruit largely in the fertile crescent before expanding out. Agriculture did sprout in the Americas too for instance (and the strife associated with it), but it came later.

Anecdotally, I understand it can be pretty nasty - not "like a winter cold", more like bad 'flu (the anecdote relates to an antivaxx family).

Mine is 30 gigabytes or so. Using mbsync, it takes up to half an hour for the first sync, then 10 seconds or less to sync after that.

I do that once every minute using Cron, and it has been serving me quite well.

I don't usually open up my archive folder, when I do it takes quite a lot of time to open on neomutt at least. Notmuch works really well after indexing though.
I'd say that simplicity can very much depend on audience, use-case and opinion. The design and content structure between platforms appears quite different.

BookStack does support Markdown content editing although it is WYSIWYG or Markdown, jumping between the two isn't really supported (Yet, Hoping to achieve this later this year).
Even then it's hard to stop, mainly because it's a habit. I went through the same experience and for about 2 months I had the habit of trying to open League whenever I had free time (it wasn't installed anymore, but the brain wiring would still "think" of opening it). Every single time, I would need to tell myself that there are activities that make me happier. I would slip a couple of times, re-install and then immediately de-install. Luckily I broke the habit eventually.

After going through that, I no longer play games at all and would probably be fine with some degree of regulation in the industry. Many kids are growing up as addicts and it's a bit worrying.
You're right! We need to get rid of this "market economy" and have an official Government laptop assigned to us.

Your other option is to hash your monotonically increasing numbers. You don't want to use something like SHA, as it does not give good distribution. You use something like murmur hash (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MurmurHash). I've used it before for indexes at Google for values that may hotspot. See Google's impl here: https://github.com/google/zetasketch/blob/master/java/com/go...
"because of the large land use requirements."

It's also everything else, especially the monopoly on transmission.

Energy is a supply and demand game like everything else.

'Hydro One' in Ontario has a CEO, workers, and a quasi monopoly.

On what planet would they, in all self-interest ever decide to lower rates for something?

If energy prices went down a little bit, they could actually increase their transmission prices, lower end prices to users by a tiny fraction, and that's that. That's how a value chain monopoly works.

Getting rid of the transmission problem, at lest for 'last mile' would be a giant leap.
These people are victims of today's culture, which glamorizes wealth and fame above all else... Before they realize that they've been duped, they waste many years of their lives.

Startup culture is similar BTW - people who take moonshots to try and become obscenely rich, only to realize (if they're in the tiny minority that succeeds) that having so much wealth is not really making much of a change in their life and they've spent important years of their lives focusing on stuff that's not important (see Notch's wailing on Twitter for an example of that realization).

3. Many of the needs for title insurance (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/title_insurance.asp)

It doesn't need to do much else to be obviously beneficial. Keep in mind that once upon a time the entire internet functioned without https. I have no doubt many of the same arguments against crypto(currency, tokens) were also made against cryto(graphy) not long ago. A vast majority of users of cryptography still subject themselves to side channel attacks (stupid passwords, phishing) and yet somehow still benefit from the existence of https without even realizing it.

Since a lot of people still get hung up on the need for a link between an NFT and an underlying asset, consider that we somehow establish the exact same kind of link between a fancy piece of paper (a title) and a plot of land. If you forewent some of the (imo misled) notions that blockchains need to be 100% "trustless" and decentralized, and you JUST upgraded your county's title database with a blockchain, and you accepted that various forms of government are going to have to enforce a lot of it, hopefully it is evident how (1) (2) and (3) above now go away or at least change significantly.
I got totally sick of it a couple of years back - I'd had HP, Epson and Canon inkjets over the years, and with all it seemed like every time I just wanted to print something, I had to do a silly dance of "realigning print heads" or "unclogging" or whatever, all of which consumed both time and ink. And invariably after printing more than 3 pages it'd moan about low ink levels.

And genuine ink cartridges are expensive! The practice of locking to prevent using generic cartridges is terrible.

Inkjets are a scam, plain and simple.

So, I bought an inexpensive Brother laser printer. It's black only, but I switched to printing most photos at Costco years ago anyway - the quality is just so much better than you can achieve at home. Anyway, what a revelation! It starts up in a couple of seconds, and when you hit "print", it just does it, again in just a couple of seconds. No moaning about maintenance. No asking me to change a cartridge every 3 minutes - just a printer that works when you need it to!

And it came with a "small" ink tank, that is somehow still going! Even when I do need to buy another ink tank, a full sized one, it'll only cost something like £30 and probably last for at least 5 years!
I’m genuinely curious, because of the other discussions happening here. Why is the article bad/wrong?

Toyota is famous for extreme durability in functional parts like engine or electronics. But also infamous, how the chassis rots away very fast.

I back up my Gmail in case I'm one day shadow banned for a supposed, obscure violation of the terms of service. Usually there's no recourse in those situations. (I use getmail for this.)
Let's suppose they banned the account cause the information is already in use. No problem with that, but don't let me create the account in first place! And of course don't allow a user use it as main ID on a device if you know you ask a password for logging out. And as I said, calling for resetting a password? 2022 and a trillion dollar company.
> I've never had an employer unwilling to wait 3 months for me to start.

I've had employers unwilling to wait two weeks, and that was when I was the only person on the market with the specific skills they needed (in the UK). Hell, in later years when I've been contracting the entire job can be done and over in in three months.

Fundamentally if I need someone to fill a role, and if you can't do it for three months but someone else can do it in one, or even better immediately, I'm taking them.

Are the roles you've been in all in very large corporates?

> They can't just make up poor performance.

Of course, but they can fire you for reasons like poor performance if they are well grounded in that evaluation. Clearly it shouldn't be a surprise as your management should have been talking to you and helping you get up to scratch, but it does exist as a way to get rid of someone who is genuinely underperforming. Your post above made it sound like redundancy was the only way.
The X1 comes with a variety of CPUs depending on the gen and the price tag AFAIK. Make the comparison on CPU power and available RAM, not on the model. I owned an X1 carbon for a year and half (work laptop) and it would handle any workload (multiple open editors, dozens of browser tabs open, docker-compose with multiple services on, etc) without lag, while still having a great battery life. The price tag for my model was ~2200€.

Now I use a somewhat old P51 and it's an absolute beast, but is certainly a brick when compared to lighter models like the X1 or a MacBook.
The government's commitment to not open any new coal plants predates the opening of Datteln 4. They are still claiming a victory because they are opening one and shutting down multiple. Of course those four were going to shut down anyway, but by any normal meaning of words this is "going back to coal".

The plan to eliminate nuclear by 2022 and coal by 2038 should have been swapped. And lignite should've been banned a decade ago.
