I don't understand how that is related to my argument at all. I'm saying that the lightrail is objectively not as safe or predictable as driving with my family, and for that reason, the reason to use the lightrail because it's better for the environment is of less importance to me.

The only UI a dishwasher needs is "wash" and "dishes in here are still clean don't put in dirty dishes yet." I've yet to see a dishwasher do the latter with the necessary nuance.

You mean like every pay-at-the-pump gas stall has for something like a decade? I hate this app payment system for chargers.

I spent something like 30 minutes once trying to get the ChargePoint app to play nice with my phone (didn't want to install on my Motorola phone) then once I finally got it loaded it took another 15 minutes to get my card added and turn on the charger. Then it finally told me the charger wasn't working after it tried to activate the charge cycle.

I eventually gave up and found a hotel 10 minutes away that happened to have a free charge stall. Took the front desk a box of fresh donuts and asked them if I could spend 30 minutes in their lobby so I could get enough charge to make it home in my Nissan Leaf. Luckily they were nice enough to let me use it and I eventually made it home.
Show HN: Mellow – Platform for suppliers and businesses to work together
Hey HN,

Launched my first MVP after a 2-week sprint. It's called Mellow and is meant to make it easier for suppliers and small businesses to work together.

This first minimal MVP merely lets suppliers create a small business page and accept orders (no payments or anything fancy just yet). Next up is a better inventory view and payments.

Check it out: https://www.playmellow.com

Would appreciate any kind of feedback :)
I can guarantee that the majority of the ineffective cycles are there because of environmental regulations (energy star in the US; there are equivalents in other western countries).

The big one that drives me nuts on new cars are all the auto start/stop at idle systems. They eat car batteries and starters (increase wear from oil starvation on startup too - consumer car engines are not positively lubricated; pressure has to pump back up every time the engine starts) and there is no way to disable them other than pushing a button every time you start your car (or hacking around with the wiring), but I'm sure they are critical in obtaining higher gas milage requirements so expect them to proliferate. It's crap that happens when you focus on one metric - gas milage - to the exclusion of "the big picture" such as total carbon footprint over the life of the car including the manufacturing and replacement costs/environmental impact of replacing prematurely worn out parts from "energy efficient" design decisions.
Or, maybe the detergents don't matter all that much and should be generic enough that you can use them in any dishwasher.
> “Would you like to order the same thing you did last time?”

The next iteration of this clearly for them to call you when you are likely to be hungry (and/or drunk) and ask you this. :)
My dishwasher is IKEA. It auto-opens when done which both tells me it's done and lets the steam away. It is screenless so I can have any facade on it I want. It projects the remaining time on the floor. This is what should be called "smart"
Empty driverless vehicles in endless circulation is a form of in motion idling. I expect anti-idling laws will expand to cover this as the machine has zero rights and a robot police car can ask it and it will confess and pay the fine. They could be made to refuse 'idling' behaviour.

> Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a pseudoscientific approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States, in the 1970s.

> In the early 1980s, NLP was advertised as an important advance in psychotherapy and counseling, and attracted some interest in counseling research and clinical psychology.

> However, as controlled trials failed to show any benefit from NLP and its advocates made increasingly dubious claims, scientific interest in NLP faded.[62][63]

> Numerous literature reviews and meta-analyses have failed to show evidence for NLP's assumptions or effectiveness as a therapeutic method.[Note 2] While some NLP practitioners have argued that the lack of empirical support is due to insufficient research which tests NLP,[Note 3] the consensus scientific opinion is that NLP is pseudoscience[Note 4][Note 5] and that attempts to dismiss the research findings based on these arguments "[constitute]s an admission that NLP does not have an evidence base and that NLP practitioners are seeking a post-hoc credibility."[80][81]

> Surveys in the academic community have shown NLP to be widely discredited among scientists.[Note 6] Among the reasons for considering NLP a pseudoscience are that evidence in favor of it is limited to anecdotes and personal testimony,[22][85] that it is not informed by scientific understanding of neuroscience and linguistics,[22][86] and that the name "neuro-linguistic programming" uses jargon words to impress readers and obfuscate ideas, whereas NLP itself does not relate any phenomena to neural structures and has nothing in common with linguistics or programming.[13][87][88][70][Note 7] In fact, in education, NLP has been used as a key example of pseudoscience.[76][77][78]

The article states that the "six most dangerous antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens" are known as "ESKAPE."

The viral phages used to target this group are used in tandem with appropriate antibiotics, and the phages are "trained" in several rounds to optimize effectiveness prior to application.

It would seem reasonable to begin general distribution of this treatment for ESKAPE, and begin preparing similar treatments for what we might guess are the next few dozen that will join this group.
I mean, especially on AWS, controlling access to 3306 is dead simple. and literally the one thing that anyone running a DB (which should be everyone) does to ensure that only certain machines, vlans etc can talk to 3306 on said DB instances...

Like literally ONLY this internal IP is allowed to contact the DB.

Also. as far back as 2014 we had AWS scanning all our machines constantly for open ports and alerts on such - we had to get an approval from within AWS to continue to portscan our own machines... they were pretty on top of port scanning behavior...

and I am surprised that the stance they take hasnt improved in all these years.

If it uses free software, you can reprogram it to connect to your own server (or anyone else's who wants your money).

> But this is so incredibly far beyond the capabilities of the enormous majority of people that it might as well not be a thing in the first place.

You don't have to be a programmer to benefit from free software. The latter simply removes the monopoly of the software developers and allows alternative developers to work for you if you pay them.

I'm afraid you're lacking imagination. Also, the irony of these being historical examples rather than made up seems to be lost on you. Humans are strange.

On a more serious note, if you were interested in what a modern society looks like that is no longer guided by science, you could study Russia. It seems a cynical blend of religion, nationalism, and imperialism is what it is. I'm not advocating for this, I'm describing what it looks like.

>> 5 decades of "belief" in science hasn't done much good.

> You really need to elaborate here.

I specifically prefaced it with "as underwriter of political projects". Over that time, the #1 influence on policy has been economics, and besides covid all of the most pressing issues today are economic: Stagnation, deindustrialization, inequaliy, and inflation. People are asking, if policy over that period was built on such solid scientific foundation, how come we've ended up here?
What a lovely story!
Okay yup, turns out this is correct and it's slightly upsetting to me honestly haha. Just for someone else if they're interested where contrapositive and contradiction both use law of excluded middle (the ==* step requires it):

Contradiction:

~(~A and B) == ~~A or ~B ==* A or ~B == A -> B

Yup - the amount of excess detergent alone that is being washed into the wastewater systems is staggering when you think about how much is extra detergent in fixed size pods is wasted across the board.

My parents had a GE dishwasher that auto dosed a liquid paste dishwashing detergent. It worked great, only dispensing what the dishwasher sensed the dirt load called for. For some reason my mom hated it and they replaced that dishwasher with one that they now use pods with. Sigh - I don't think she liked the feeling of not being in control.

We humans can be so annoying sometimes.

EDIT: that GE also did it without requiring a wifi connection or firmware updates :p
IIUC, these chargers cost $50-$250k a piece.

I imagine the technology will improve and they'll need to be upgraded in less than ten years.

Each gas pump probably costs similar or less - and you only need to use one for a couple of minutes. A charger you can tie up for a half hour or longer.

Even at that price - charging would be about half the revenue as the average re-fuel. So you need to charge more to make similar profits.

Gas stations don't really make any money selling gas - they make it all from selling candy bars and sodas.

I would expect the spread to be much higher on charging than re-fueling.
Thanks for the feedback. Hoping to get out another layout that does exactly this, and let users choose between them.

A washing machine already requires a fair amount of time spent on installation. I don't think "it doesn't work out of the box" is a good argument when talking about 200 pound appliances that have to be hooked up to your plumbing.

I generally agree with your points above, especially that it’s not a far left idea. It’s a mainstream left idea.

But one quibble. “Affirmative action,” as used by Kennedy and Nixon, originally meant the government taking “affirmative action” to eliminate discrimination in government hiring: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/learn-origins-term-af... see also https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/codification/execu.... So it wasn’t sufficient not to have officially discriminatory hiring policies, but you had to take affirmative steps to root out discrimination in the hiring process. Even today, affirmative action can refer to measures like broadening the recruiting pipelines. Recruiting at HBCUs might be considered a sort of affirmative action policy.

What the polls consistently show is that minorities support “affirmative action” in the abstract, but don’t support using race as an express consideration with respect to individual decisions. I don’t think its fair to say they’re not “thinking deeply” about the question. I think that instead the questions are referring to somewhat different substantive policies, and you’re seeing the result of people who agree with the general ends of “affirmative action” drawing lines between specific means they support and ones they don’t.

No business is required to do business with you. Now, if you incur a debt and then they refuse to accept your money, that could potentially be a problem, but otherwise it's perfectly ok for them to refuse your cash at the register and tell you to leave without the products you wanted to purchase.
I was asked by an Indian to use the term Indian: "I'm not a 'Native American'. I'm an Indian!"

Then again, a friend of mine who's Apache asked me to use the term "Native American": "The people who want to be called Indian are ignorant people from the reservation." Which, wow. Seemed kinda presumptuous to me, but whatevs.

Apparently, some Indians find "Native American" offensive, and some Native Americans find "Indian" offensive. Just ask directly, is your best bet.

Cars are a really inefficient mode of transport.

Walking, bikes and public transport are far better modes of transport for the vast majority of the demand.

Cities that prioritize these modes of transport offer a higher quality of living with lower impact on the environment and reduce inequality by making necessary transportation accessible to more people.
The Superchargers have two cables[1]. One CCS and one Tesla standard. In the US, they can start upgrading the supercharger network with that system.

> One of the parts was devastatingly expensive to substitute. It was a very low noise JFET which was being used as a high impedance amplifier buffer. We had to evaluate ten different parts from other manufacturers then hand select a suitable part with the right curve and noise figure parameters.

This is relatable even to hobbyist electronics tinkerers, at least to those dabbling in low-noise measurements.
When the hell was this mythical past in the west where people weren't absolutely destroyed and jailed for things that they said, media wasn't bowdlerized and censored to hell, and history wasn't rewritten when it was convenient or unpleasant?

What I want as a Tesla owner, is more non-supercharger charging. My biggest inconvenience is to travel, and stay at a hotel without charging, then I have to drive out of my way every few days find a supercharger, sit and wait while it charges then drive back. If hotels (which already have electricity) could install a few 20A-30A chargers that I could use overnight, it would make traveling with a Tesla significantly easier.
I don't have the ability to unflag this, but it shouldn't be flagged. It's a formal post from an important computer company about an ongoing topic relevant to HN.
Why did the government ever buy these? Apparently they could have had private owners pay for them directly.
Wouldn't they be outcompeted by others? Even 2022 solar tech is less convenient than 1900s fossil fuel engines that can just run day and night (ignoring lung damage like we've historically been doing).

Not necessarily. Academic research needs not be 'practical' or be ready for commercialization, much like research into fusion.
> These types of solutions (JIT or Lean) are designed to prevent the bullwhip effect and ensure that suppliers have predictable and constant demand, rather than feast or famine.

If that were true, they would have ensured the chip manufacturers had constant demand, rather than a famine period followed by a huge feast.

The truth is that just in time is being used as a cost minimization procedure, by offloading the demand risks into the suppliers and increasing any feast or famine event. That maximizes profits as long as there isn't an emergency, what seems to be the favorite administration goal of the current age.
Culture emerges from a set of protocols we use to collectively exchange ideas/information.

Right now the protocols are Facebook, Twitter, tiktok, Netflix, WhatsApp etc. In the early web, the protocols were http and smtp. Now those are mostly abstracted away. Corporations own the protocols, they control the medium and therefore the message is limited to the protocols they define. We’re all living in shopping malls, casinos, and office parks (metaverse lol).

The same thing happened in the 80s to the culture Cowen’s referring to. I imagine the web will be where normies do their thing and a counterculture based on some new protocols will emerge. (If that’s crypto, it’s kinda funny and sad that it skips the idea generation phase and jumps straight to a culture of shill.)
Well, one part of the charging problem they're trying to solve is getting cars in and out of slots quickly to increase overall capacity. For the existing Tesla owners in the US, there's virtually zero auth/payment overhead: they already have Tesla accounts and it identifies the car, so you just drive up and plug in and get billed. They also charge idle fees ($0.50/min if there are open slots, $1/min if the whole station is full) for occupying slots unproductively.

I imagine they could have added some kind of reliable payment-card reader, maybe. But then you're dealing with a whole other level of things like people trying 3 different cards until they get one to work and burning time, possible fraud, skimming, etc. You also have new hardware and failure modes in the charger itself (the reader, the screen, the buttons, etc), whereas right now they're featureless, just a tall plastic thing with a charge cable on it, and it's charging to a known card pre-registered in the account.

It seems a reasonable tradeoff (at least in the US, to me, at this point in the industry's evolution) to stick with the system they've got for simplicity and speed, and ask for a Tesla app install. The only other open charging network I've tried in the US (Chargepoint) also needs an app install and account.
