You do not understand the definition of liquidity.

Price in the crypto sphere is only dictated by transactions (which is why it's illiquid) because there is no intrinsic value. There is no wealth creation occuring. Volatility is definitionally illiquid.

In the equity sphere, assets have intrinsic value, and their price may be affected by extrinsic factors as well, but if the price tanks overnight because of bad quarterlies it's because the intrinsic value declined. The business's wealth creation potential declined.

Tesla designed the entire chassis around the battery pack (as in, it's structural component). Traditional car companies are going to have to do a lot of very expensive retooling to something similar.
Is range consequential to you? The battery pack's already quite heavy (>1,200 lbs) and it takes both power and energy to move that much weight around. The bigger the pack, the more of both it takes to move it. The 100 kWh battery already gets 400 miles per charge. Doubling the battery pack with existing technology isn't going to get double the range. At some point there are diminishing returns where adding more batteries reduces the range due to the added weight.

Also keep in mind that with an electric car, most users will use a home charger and start each day at full charge (even the slow charger can manage this if you're getting enough sleep). At the article's state 55 mph to get their range, it would take just over 7 hours of driving to go 400 miles. That's plenty for daily, non-fleet use.
The biggest surprise for me is that organ transplant from animals had been attempted in the past, I was sure it had not been done yet.

Apparently there was a newborn that lived for 21 days with baboon heart in 1984: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_Fae

Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenotransplantation ) also lists one successful kidney transplant from chimpanzee in 1964:

> Out of 13 such transplants performed by Keith Reemtsma, one kidney recipient lived for 9 months, returning to work as a schoolteacher. At autopsy, the chimpanzee kidneys appeared normal and showed no signs of acute or chronic rejection.

I've never heard that IPS (not the content provider) is throttling down Video Quality by altering the traffic. Do you have some links to back up that claim? This doesn't make much sense, as they would have to download the high quality video anyway, then invest massive CPU power to downscale this. Most content providers will scale down the quality if they detect bad network conditions. If ISP would want lower quality, they could just artifficaly slow the connection.
That's not a legit reason to block it for everyone on the network. That's a legit reason for individual iPhone owners to turn it off if they value better performance over privacy.
IANAD, but from what I remember back when trans-species heart transplant research started in the 80's, it was that pig heart tissue is most similar to human heart tissue.

Hopefully there is a D on HN who can explain better.

I'm curious how they cool it under heavy performance load. I'm assuming they're making a significant performance compromise to extend range by limiting discharge speed/heat production.
If the virus is endemic, what even is the point of all this testing? What does is accomplish besides telling you “yup, this test says you have a virus”? I never got tested for respiratory viruses before when I got sick. Why this one?

We cannot move on until we eliminate all this mass testing. Yes test for confirmation before administering something specific to Covid but testing somebody whose only medical issue is something that can be bought over the counter… what is the point?

All this testing is just causing chaos in peoples lives.
These two aren't mutually exclusive. Tickets, however, have lower long-term survivability (in my experience). Outsourcing, migrations, there are many scenarios in which the original tickets become inaccessible over time - and some codebases do last for years and years. Meanwhile the repository content (and thus the complete version history) usually survives as-is.
I'd wager this is the prevent folks from streaming over 480p on the standard 'unlimited' plan, prevent unauthorized hotspot use, prevent hiding DNS for data harvesting, and a few other things. What would make more sense is simply to charge this at hotspot rates, since they can't determine if you're using more phone and low-res streaming bandwidth than your plan permits.

And those would be?
Pigs are very anatomically similar to humans but due to being a food source there were probably also fewer ethical concerns compared to using primates.
If you're using a car for everyday short trips then, unless you have some kind of mobility impediment, you're doing it wrong.
You might be asking, why a pig? I don't know, but forever ago I wrote software for a cardiovascular imaging lab and pigs were their primary test subjects. I was like, "why pigs?" and the PI was like, "Imaging-wise, pig hearts aren't too different from humans. Plus, we can give them a heart attack in the scanner and not go to jail. Some labs use dogs. I just can't do that."
It beats dying. (pun intended)

To be fair, pigs generally seem much more relaxed animals than humans. Will happily eat pork too for that matter. I'd just find some nice mud to roll in.
I've come to believe that pinned versions with an active dependency check is the way to go. A lot of the dependency checks/scans are build time rather than an "on going" approach.

If nothing else, that is a step in the direction of reproducible builds which are also in the Good Thing category.

This is likely going to be another maturing event for NPM and the community where they will need to decide how they want to move forward. The blind trust of a `^1.2.3` version specification is something that will likely be outgrown.

I still believe that one of the biggest problems that JavaScript libraries face is the transitive dependency explosion combined with the "always update" build policies and that in turn makes makes the issue of a suddenly untrustworthy developer more likely and more problematic.
Or maybe the commenter is also against the war on drugs? And yeah I'm sure China had more "freedumb" than the US. Actually I'm not surprised that someone who uses China as a positive example would be the type to say "freedumb" unironically as if it's actually a negative thing to want more... freedom.

Early in my career, HR refused to apply me a significant raise that they had written I would get, because I wasn’t old enough. I had support from my managers, great results and feedbacks. And yet it didn’t matter that it was illegal, illogical, and against their own written words, they still refused. I almost quit over it.

In the end one of the unions helped me, and collaborated with my manager to push HR to give me an even slightly bigger promotion based on my more recent results.

I drastically changed opinion on the unions after that, and have subscribed ever since. They’re not perfect, but HR can be worse, even if you make them money.

I was an engineer in Europe in a Fortune 500 company, for the record.
I'm not sure how to discuss TFA because I can only read half a paragraph of it due to the paywall.

Instead of commenting speculatively, I'm going to wait for someone to post more of the article, or a link to the full article.
> What has gotten me the most value is having either the branch or the commit message tie back to a ticket somewhere. -That- has the original bug, the comment thread that led to the decision around why this particular fix, any additional comments around tradeoffs we were aware of, and what other options we dispensed with, etc.

That works until the bug tracker goes down or the company decides to use a different bug tracker and the import doesn't preserve information, or the link in the commit message doesn't resolve to the corresponding ticket in the new bug tracker. This is far less likely to happen to the git history given that it's distributed.

That being said, adding information to the merge commit message linking to the discussion or actually summarizing it in the commit message itself would definitely be an improvement. The merge commit has references to the commit the branch is based off of and the head commit of the branch, so you can limit git log output to just commits in the branch long after it has been merged.
1. Because there is a harmful disease and we have an available protection. It seems obvious that there is moral prerogative to make that protection to those who want and need it.

2. Because the quicker and more widely covid spreads the more chance it has to evolve new variants, and those variants will spread worldwide. So everyone has an interest in slowing it down everywhere in order to protect themselves against potential future variants.

Let's at least start your argument from a place of intellectual honesty.
Socks are in fact immutable infrastructure. When your EC2 instance crashes, you shut it down and provision a new one. When your socks get holes, you throw them out and buy new ones. This isn't 2010 anymore, you really think people debug their servers and mend their socks?
I get it, I'm just trying to explain that my reaction to "this is lasting longer than we thought it would" is "I guess the precautions will have to last longer as well", and I believe that is a reasonable reaction. I don't find it difficult to accept that nobody knows when it will end. That's just how it is, we're in a pandemic, it sucks. I don't have any more appetite for it than anyone else, I hate it.

Health feedback is garbage. It is the "fact-checking" site that facebook uses, and has a regular pattern of presenting the political opinions of its writers as facts. For example, they flagged a WSJ op-ed by Marty Makary where he expressed a prediction, as misinformation:

https://archive.is/1JnsW

Regardless of what you think of Makary's original opinion, there's no universe in which a prediction of the future from a medical expert should be labeled misinformation. If that's the bar, then ~all of the statistical models used to make scary predictions about Covid are also "misinformation", as are 95% of the things Anthony Fauci says on cable news.

"Politicians are holding children hostage in the basement of a pizza place" => clearly incorrect factual statement.

"I think that Covid infections will be far below their current numbers by summer" => opinion about the future.

(Regarding the particular claim advanced by health feedback here: it's a "fact check" based on a single paper, written by Neil Ferugson's group, that attempts to validate the predictions made by...Neil Ferguson's group. There have now been many others that say the opposite [1]. At the very least, you'd hope that a reputable "fact-checking" site would discuss these to present a balanced picture of the debate. Health feedback doesn't bother.)

Now I see it:

> "The cathode will be made of a proprietary material rich in manganese that ONE says can be sustainably sourced at low cost. (The company has so far applied for 14 patents related to the Gemini pack.) The LFP cells cover 99 percent of the vehicle’s duty cycle, Ijaz told C/D, and the range extender is used for just 1 percent.

> As a proof of concept, however, the prototype pack used in the demonstration was powered by different cells. The capacity of more than 200 kilowatt-hours was provided by high-energy cobalt-nickel cells, while those intended for the Gemini line are still under development."

So this was just an energy density demonstration. It does sound like they plan to use LFP cells, not cobalt-nickel, for the production batteries.
>The only "value" in any of them is finding a bigger sucker to give you real money for your fake "money".

What's interesting to me about crypto currency is the ancillary philosophical discussion of what the necessary and sufficient features of "real money" actually are. Crypto shares a lot of the features we'd normally associate with "real money," people use crypto currencies as "real money," and generally people trust, to some degree, that crypto will have ongoing value (regardless of how misguided we may think that is.)

Does there ever reach a point where those claiming that crypto currency is "not real money" becomes analogous with the man yelling that US currency is somehow "fake" because it isn't backed by gold? The ongoing utility of both "currencies" seem to make both of these positions appear misguided (this coming from a fellow long time crypto-skeptic.)
When I was a teenager there was a novel adapted for TV by the BBC called “Pig Heart Boy”. It explored the emotional impact of this type of procedure on a teenager and the response from the public, both good and bad. I don’t remember much about it but it looks like it won a BAFTA.

It’s basically this. “Science” cannot tell you when Covid is “over” and the people who told us to be afraid will never say it’s truly safe. Moving on from Covid is a simple is not being afraid of it anymore. That’s it. All that is required. It’s all in peoples head.

We're getting good at building artificial nonorganic heart, still a bit away from growing conventional hearts.

I wonder how these future options intersect, whether one will win out over another, or we will be having hybrids?

Electromagnetic motors work fine, but a big issue with them is the method of powering them and maybe biocompatibility issue.

Normal organic hearts don't have this disadvantage but their downside is that they are in its infancy?

Signal has already changed history in a way. The past few years, as trust in a certain type of ethically challenged tech company has come crashing down it was vitally important to have a tangible example of a working, usable alternative.

Important for users, but also important for policy makers and other people in high places that are typically tech-illiterate and may assume that trillion dollar valuation implies TINA (there is no alternative).

Moxie and that tiny group of developers @ signal have been granted a moment of extreme leverage and they made great use of it.

Godspeed
The story of E2EE on Matrix seems like a pure vindication of Moxie's concerns about protocol ecosystems, since it took years for them to get from an E2EE design everyone agreed on and that was working in clients to a point where they could default that E2EE on for users, because of popular straggler clients.

The pig was modified to remove presentation of immunogenic sugars on the cell surface. Unfortunately, the recipient needs to be on immunosuppressants the rest of their life.

This rekindles discussions back in school about chimeras... in order for the organs to be immunocompatible, the donor needs to be partially human. What % is too human to harvest for organs?

I agree, it's now known as a "rare" side effect, but I wasn't aware either until after I got the vaccine.

How did you know something was wrong? I think a lot of people (including myself) feel heart pain after the vaccine but aren't sure if it's worth going to a doctor about it.
idk it seems like the healthcare industry as a whole made bank off this whole thing, if they want to help prove it wasn't largely a massive cash grab for the people at the top, then surely they'll reinvest their profits back into salaries to solve understaffing issues?

One of the advantages of using a language like Python is you don't need to set up a lengthy pipeline of program executions just to reformat program output. In my personal experience using Python for basic automation scripting, I just haven't really come across any need for me to pipe output from one command into another.

The problem I have with a lot of shells is that their variable syntax is almost completely broken if you want to do anything slightly harder than trivial. A recent example I had was trying to write a script that reads a shell and executes the last line with some extra arguments. So that should be `PROG=$(tail -n1 commands.sh); creduce-script "$PROG"`, nothing hard about that... except the last line was `clang "-DFOO= " bar.c`.
I don't want double, I want 20-25% more. That will cover all my edge cases.
Traditional car companies moved to "platform" based vehicles 20 years ago and they refresh the entire platform every 5-ish years. This isn't really a big deal for any of them as evidenced by both Ford and GM already rolling out EV platforms.

"There's no way GM can build a sub-$100k mid engine Corvette" was a common refrain too. They didn't get to that size by being bad at designing cars.
This was terrible advice. Rate of spread and our inability to treat it early on would have been catastrophic if we took that approach. Like it or not, lockdowns and mitigations were effective at keeping infection rates manageable and our healthcare system functioning.

It's a somewhat more reasonable stance since omicron seeing as our ability to prevent spread is greatly reduced and infection severity is also down, but I haven't been convinced completely yet. The current healthcare "collapse" is a real enough consequence to make me think twice.
I read about the "magical pixie dust" in a very old Time Magazine (that my dad had a subscription to). Since then, I have always dreamed of having the tip of my left thumb "regrown" using that or a similar technology. Glad to know that it is being used more commonly on nowadays.
> when in practice that range is unneeded on a daily basis

Which is great if you have space for and can afford two cars.

But if you don’t and / or can’t, you need your one car to handle both your daily driving needs and the odd long range trip.

> It’s like demanding a all-day battery from a laptop, only to leave it plugged in all day long anyway.

Which i’m reasonably sure is what’s happening to many MBPs, but if you do actually meed the odd all-day battery… then you do need it.
I always assume that it's because the apps simply scroll on both timer events and mouse move events. Wiggle the mouse to raise a bunch of mouse move events and you get faster scrolling.
I guess I'm thinking more in terms of faker, which I believe was a library for creating test data. Makes me wonder if licenses matter much for tools that are never intended to be included in the final distribution.

Internal changes aren't going to be detectable, so it feels like the best you can hope for is that they don't want the maintenance burden of a patch set on top of your project. At that point it's not much different than MIT.

That said, AGPL would scare off most companies :p
You don't care if hospitals hit capacity and healthcare workers become exhausted and people then die from lack of care? Preventing that scenario, which has occurred to varying degrees in many places, is and has always been the primary reason not to spread the virus.
