> There has been so much talk about how the lifetime of a BEV is much longer than a ICE

I haven't seen this talk - I think most cars get scrapped when the chassis rots, or the suspension goes, or the tech’s obsolete - not when the engine dies which is probably the last thing to go. So BEV should be no different?
Thank you! This kind of feedback means a lot, provides the fuel to avoid burnout.
386 may be a bit too far, but there was a high resolution shot of an 80286 on the visual6502.org wiki (now sadly offline), were you could almost read the microcode ROM visually.

I spent a lot of time staring at that and got at least a good part of the opcode pattern PLA. Many bits were so blurry that I could only guess what they are, based on what other opcodes I already had. The actual microcode is 53760 bits with a very high density, where the difference between a 0/1 comes down to a fraction of a pixel. I think with a better image, it might be possible to read those bits and even automate it.

Not sure if there are any mysteries left to solve though. In the PLA there are patterns with "don't care" bits to match opcodes 64-67 and 0F 07 to 0F FF, so all of these must be invalid (they go to the same address in microcode).

Some time ago I found out what the last undocumented opcode 0F 04 - and the F1 prefix - do by experimenting[1]. One slightly odd thing about that instruction is that the CPU seems to grant bus requests for DMA/refresh, but then completely ignore it and write at the same time.

On the first machine I tested this on, this caused some crashes and spurious I/O that I didn't notice at first, but on another one it did absolutely not work unless DRAM refresh was disabled. Maybe there is something in the microcode that explains this, but more likely it has to do with other parts of the hardware?

Bonuses and increased compensation if possible. If not, then increased autonomy, respect, and trust at the very least. If someone goes above and beyond outside of their job description, they're demonstrating initiative and judgement.

What you shouldn't do that a lot of places do is just give the person more work with nothing else. "Good job, now keep doing that AND all your other work for the same salary. That's cool, right? Your boss got a fat bonus for your work, though."
> I tell you about seeing a rare and elusive jabberwocky, and I told you it was deceptively [small | large]. Without further elaboration or context, you may struggle to deduce whether I mean that the jabberwocky is smaller or larger than expected or than it appeared, or both, or simply that it was smaller or larger than expected for jabberwockies, given just that single sentence.

I had no idea this was even ambiguous before your comment.

I've hitherto only considered the possibility that "deceptively large" means "large, but appeared otherwise. Having now googled this, it seems there's some debate about it, and while I can see both arguments, I think this is down to incorrect usage muddying the water.

In "A is deceptively B", "deceptively" is an adverb, so adding extra definition to the manner in which "A is B". Short of ignoring grammar rules entirely, I can't see a good case for arguing the opposite, even though it seems that examples exist where the sentence only makes logical sense by interpreting it as a negative.
Mbsync with the mailu project works really well for me, is recommend investigating it
The problem is that battery costs are so expensive that to get that kW of unreliable power, you need to build a kW of reliable power to back it up. Then rates swing from the very cheap kW when the sun is shining and there are few clouds to the expensive rate on cloudy days or night, and at the end of the day you have to pay for double the capacity. That's why electricity rates go up on average after the introduction of cheap unreliable power.

The production of cheap, long lasting batteries that can be deployed at mass scale and survive large numbers of power cycles is the missing link between cheap unreliable power and actually realized lower costs. So people are declaring victory citing the unreliable rates while electricity consumers are faced with much higher costs. We don't have that victory yet.
"I’m not sure it’s going to happen with renewables because of the large land use requirements"

I am pretty sure, we would have some desert land to spare.

Also most of roofs yet uncovered by panels. And you can do dual use: solarpanels that provide shade for agriculture use, etc.

Land or technology is not the problem - competing with cheap fossil energy in the ground is, as well as the massive investment required to make the complete transition to renewables.

This article is just flat out the dumbest thing I've ever read in regards to addiction
This isn’t just happening in California, in Austin lot splitting has been a thing for a while and the new houses that get built in the back yard of the old house often sell for as much as the original house would have.

It’s actually not hard to understand. People have a certain amount of budget per month they can afford, which converts into a certain mortgage value. Then they look for the neighborhood they want to be in, and whatever they can get inside that mortgage budget is on the table.

So they see two options:

Old house from 1960, 1800SQFT, 2 bathrooms, low ceilings, needs tons of renovation but has a nice big yard. $700k.

Same neighborhood. Brand new house. 2400 SQFT. 3.5 bathrooms. High end finishes. Almost no yard (it’s a half-lot). $700k.

Most of the people buying this are coming from rentals where they probably didn’t have a yard in the first place, and they are already stretching to the limit to afford anything so they won’t be able to remodel after purchase. So, no yard? No problem.
Cook's main strength has been that of a stable caretaker. He isn't going to lead Apple into new territory but he's been able to guide the company through the rising tide for the tech sector. Meanwhile Mark Zuckerberg is leading Facebook into the Metaverse, which might kill the company or might bring untold riches. Tim Cook would never take such a risk. Given the circumstances, he's probably been the right person to lead Apple but at some point their product line will become stale and need to move into completely new territory. That's what Steve Jobs was good at and Cook isn't going to be able to deliver on.

> mandatory vaccination will get rid of surveillance solutions like the Greenpass while also protecting everyone.

Would you not still need a vax-proof when vaccination is mandatory? How does it differ then to the greenpass?
It would then be mandatory to be able to produce that proof. Failing to do so may result in fines or land you in jail.

How does that help with the greenpass situation you described?

> And what is more annoying is that the "greenpass" is actually (at least where I live in Europe) a way that allows cops to stop, frisk and harass anyone. It enables the busybodies to play "I aM an auThOrItY and will use my imaginary authority to exercise power over you ..."

> The "greenpass" assumes I am always carrying my phone. It gives me anxiety about my battery going flat.

Making it mandatory seems to only make this worse.

That's cool. I recently built MFA into the access flow, with a sight to extend methods where needed, although any instance using the SAML/LDAP/OIDC auth options could enforce MFA on the identity provider side.
While I don’t disagree it’s also worth noting that for example the brakes on BEVs last significantly longer due to regenerative braking, up to 200k miles I believe. This is much longer than the “three year cycles” that the article is taking about. There is also no more oil changes or exhausts on a BEV.

So yes, there will be local mechanics for things such as bodywork and tires, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see only 10-20% of the number of them in 20 years time.
And led to a huge retardation (in the literal sense) of learning.

Which is fine (from the point of view of the people who run these schools). Because the modern HS process is designed around passing tests, and generating positive signals for admissions to elite schools. Which sometimes overlap with the goal of learning -- but in general are orthogonal to it.

By and large, "learning" as such has come to have at best anciliary value in the modern HS experience.

Not really. Attendance in person was about 15%, being limited to key workers' children who couldn't arrange other childcare, and children with special educational needs.

> if you were intellectually honest you would agree that the decentralized web/crypto both have positives and negatives.

If this were 2010 then I would agree that it's interesting technology with some possible use cases not yet clarified.

But this is 2022, and it's now time to turn this around to focus on actual solution first, get-rich-quick as a possible incidental side effect. Because we've had over a decade now of get-rich-quick first, "maybe solve a real problem, not sure how because I've not talked to domain experts to find out what the real problems actually are" as incidental.

Like, talk to any contract lawyer and ask them if "smart contract" is a solution to any of their hard problems. It's not. It just makes everything much worse.

Or currencies. You can't just (at best) say you'll bolt on AML/KYC to your perfectly anonymous currency "later". And without AML/KYC it's not actually a solution that anybody wants (except very rare anarcho-libertarians and ransomware people).

So does this whole space have positives? It's not impossible. Every single so-called solution in this space has made its intended space worse, and also created huge externalities (environment, e-waste (old mining rigs), resource shortages (GPU, SSD), etc...).

But it's not impossible that any decade now something will actually be a solution. But because the "solutions" are also get-rich-quick schemes, the "inventors" don't want to wait for the solution to actually be... a solution. Launch now, get rich, problem (of not being rich) solved.

Take PoS for example. Greta Thunberg is wrong to attack boomers. Looking at the age bracket of cryptocurrency supporters it seems that millennials are also pushing that whole "environment" thing to future generations. "Oh, it'll be fine with PoS eventually. But today we can burn the environment a bit because I gots to get paid".

So no, it doesn't "have" positives. It's one of the infinitely many pools of ideas where positives could come from, but haven't yet.
It would be practically impossible, the only way you can remove something from the blockchain is to ask all nodes to revert to an earlier version and purge the offending blocks and any blocks related to them.

This is also why using public blockchains for storing personal information is such a stupid idea, illegal even if the GDPR is involved in any way. Blockchains are designed so no information can be altered or redacted, and that's often an overlooked problem.

Ask HN: Ethical ads providers to monetize personal blog
I've just started my personal blog (link in bio), never done this before, but I'm looking forward to eventually get some money from my blogging activities. My first idea was to serve some ethical ads - I don't want anything that tracks the visitors, obviously. Something like a sponsorship banner, or, maybe, a precisely targeted context ad with the exact hit to the tune of my blog.

I'm talking about something like the banners in the header of FastAPI website[1], look pretty neat. Is it just cold emailing for those, who use the said framework, or are there providers of such sponsored banners?

Where should I look for the advertisers providing ethical ads? Which companies have you dealt with? I'm aware of EthicalAds.io[2], but it looks like I'd have to be an established publisher to qualify.

Maybe, you'll advise against serving such ads and share your experience of utilizing some other type of blog monetization?

Thanks in advance!

These stories pop up about once a month and are false. All the the big datacenters use closed loop cooling systems. I have worked on them and I know people that work on them at the aforementioned companies. They use a lot of water, exactly once. Leaks are addressed in those systems much quicker than any other plumbing systems out of necessity to keep datacenter online. If you know of a system that does not match exactly what I said, please send pictures and videos of these systems and show where they are located and what company is using them.

If you are looking for a waste of water then look into all the leaky aging pipes of city infrastructure. Some cities dump millions of gallons of water back into the ground every week and their citizens are paying for it. Reach out to the people that work on those systems and you will get far better breaking stories. City workers are much more open to leaking these stories now.

Well, the new distance requirements for wind parks are stricter, than for a garbage burning plant, for example. And there are still villages being removed, because of coal - so it is far from 100% support, but overall I would not agree, that the previous government was stalling renewables. But there was and is lots of general movement into renewables, so maybe there would have been a wind and solar boom, despite governments efforts.

I've got a Canon MX920 series printer. I only use third party cartridges (EZ Ink or something). Carts are cheap and I've got no issue only replacing them one at a time. Sometimes the wireless printing gets a little wonky but this has probably been the best printer I've ever owned. It just works and the ink is so damn cheap. One thing that is a little annoying is that you can't print without all of the carts being non-empty and you need both black pigment and regular black but this is typical of any inkjet printer.

>How is this not ripe for disruption?

As others already pointed out, covid is not just a danger to the kid, it's a danger to anybody in contact with the kid, like the parents the kid lives with, the teachers and aux staff the kid interacts with, the people the kid passes on the way to school.

>Edit: Please with the “but kids bring Covid home” hysteria. We have vaccines now.

Vaccination greatly reduces the risk of severe covid and death, but it doesn't eliminate it. I know people who despite full vaccination contracted covid and are now fighting with long covid symptoms, to the point where they are unable to work for months (but chances are they would be a lot worse off if they hadn't been vaccinated). In a society such as the US with very limited social safety there is a serious risk of loss of job due to the inability to work thanks to long covid or bankruptcy thanks to the inability to pay medical bills. Kids contracting covid in school (or anywhere else) and passing it to their parents may well result in the family becoming a lot poorer or even homeless in the extreme.

Immediate covid risks aren't just limited to death either. Covid is known to cause issues with blood clotting, which can result in all kinds of things like permanent brain damage, permanent heart damage or amputations of limbs. Severe covid is also treated with severe medications and procedures, like steroids which can cause permanent (partial) blindness, ECMO which causes loss of (some) mobility in the legs far more often than not. Just regular ventilation isn't free of side effects either, in particular because of the drugs to sedate such patients. Survivors of severe covid experience PTSD and/or suicidal thoughts at very high rates.

Immediate death and other immediate primary or secondary effects aren't the only risk to covid. Long covid is a thing. Other long term effects due to covid infections are not only possible, but according to preliminary results seem likely, even after covid infections with only mild symptoms or in asymptomatic cases. This includes damage to organs, in particular the lungs, the brain, the heart and the kidneys, which may well significantly lower the life expectancy and (later life) quality of life of people affected by it, be it the kids or their parents, family or teachers.

Looking only at the immediate fatality rate in kids is dangerously shortsighted and missing most of the picture. Pointing to vaccines like they are magic isn't exactly helpful either, as they are risk reduction at best, not risk avoidance.
