It'd work for me. I'd absolutely trade long battery life to only ever using 80% of the battery for pretty much all my electronics.
I haaaaate it when interviewers ask vague questions and then fault you for taking it in a direction they didn't want.

So many interviewers act as if they expect to hire someone who has already worked at their company for five years and knows the codewords of the local cult.

I don't doubt that, and I've considered replacing it. The lifespan of a "modern" dishwasher is about 10 years, a far cry from the 30 years that mine has run.

In the time that I've had mine, I would have had to replace a modern one about three times. I think that new ones would be more water efficient, but I do not see new ones being more efficient electrically. Mine is plumbed to hot water, so the heating elements are not used much and it dries them with blown air instead of heat.

If I am looking to reduce my electrical footprint there is much lower hanging fruit than my dishwasher. How much energy would go into the manufacturing, delivery, and installation of three dishwashers?
Funny thing is the "engine noise" in electric cars is purely artificial.
When I would watch BBC Shakespeare productions and follow along with the text, I noticed BBC would change things like "O Jesu" to "O Lord" or change complicated medieval political terminology to "we are fighting for our rights against the king." If they'll do it to Shakespeare, they'll do it to Dr. Who.
Joe Rogan has recently talked about that - that he just interviews people who seem interesting https://www.instagram.com/tv/CZYQ_nDJi6G/
> The article also doesn't explore the downstream impact from moving to shared fleets, and how great that would be for the environment.

I really question whether that will happen. Floating car-sharing does not seem to have affected car ownership significantly, and it provides similar benefits. People obviously still want to own their specific car.
That's actually what I meant. It's unfortunate because the car already has everything it needs to handle this situation. I admit it was an idiotic thing from my part to do, but still, you gotta expect better from a 56K car whose main selling point is safety.
I think it's important to keep an archive of unaltered content. But, given that much of this content is for entertainment, curation is important.

For example, when Disney Plus was new, I decided to watch Peter Pan with my kids. One was 4, and one wasn't even two. Curiously, I couldn't find Peter Pan in the "kids" mode, so I switched back to the adult mode and put it on. There was a very subtle warning about "outdated cultural references," but I didn't think much of it as I've seen Peter Pan a few times.

The Disney Plus version reintroduced "What Made the Red Man Red?", an extremely racist musical bit. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/What_Made_the_Red_Man_Red%3F) In the past, this song was cut from the VHS and DVD version. (And I have vague memories of wondering why the lost boys returned to their tree dressed as Indians.) I had no idea that this was put back in the movie. My jaw dropped when the song came on. I was in so much shock that I didn't think to skip the scene.

Now, I have no problem preserving the uncut film, and making it generally available! But I also would prefer to show my young children the cut version of the film, and only show them racist material when they're old enough to understand why it's wrong. (After all, those who forget history are doomed to repeat the mistakes of history.)
For example in the EU, the eCall 'feature' is a must since April 2018. I guess that removing it from the car afterwards entails loss of street-legality.
Yeah, I encountered this difficulty while writing the "literate" API documentation that my blog post was based on. The example in my post is very simplistic. The real thing makes numerous database queries to set up data, then creates an entire mock "client" with a mock employee, mock location, mock services, appointments, etc., by making successive requests to the (local dev) API. Order matters. And it's still a pretty simple example of literate programming (if, as someone mentioned earlier, it could be called "literate programming" at all in the sense that Knuth meant it).

In that regard, I'd say it is. True, we don't tangle and weave to separate artifacts. In fact, it doesn't tangle at all. However, I'd argue that in this case that isn't the point of the program. It's essentially a TUI to build an HTML artifact. Obviously we can't tangle `restclient` source blocks, but nor are we just dumping the results of `restclient` requests. Everything is piped into bash and post-processed by `jq` to clean up the final result for display.

That said, I accept that it's still not really "literate programming". It's literate API documentation.
Really? I'm speaking from a US perspective, but my opinion is the communication out of the CDC has too much nuance and is too concerned about being scientifically accurate. They forget they're speaking to a largely scientifically illiterate crowd, and that crowd sees the constant back-and-forth not as scientific progress but as a reason not to trust the institution. Never mind that it's often delivered with a tone of condescension people have come to despise from their institutions, and some of their policy recommendations are... debatable to say the least (recommending mass testing for high school sports/band/choir, for a recent example).

Honestly I only trust the CDC because I have the knowledge and capacity to verify what they say and ignore the bullshit. A lot of people don't have that. And there is bullshit to filter.

The message to the public, assuming the CDC is interested in actually convincing people, needs a simple path forward individuals can take to get said individuals something they want, even if it taps into a selfish motivation and isn't 1000% technically optimal. (i.e. Get vaccinated and the mask requirements go away). And it should be repeated in every statement, regardless of new data. It should have been consistent for the past 2 years. It should have a catchy slogan. It should be on fucking billboards. People would still bitch and grumble, and some would never be convinced. But we'd probably have more people vaccinated if that approach had been taken. Instead we confused people and handed ammo to the anti-vaxxers by the truckload, relying on peoples' better natures and assuming a higher average level of education than actually exists in the American populace.

In short the CDC should optimize for leadership and "good enough" solutions, not strict scientific accuracy and trying to save each and every life in their public statements. Publish the hard science/raw data in more obscure releases that only scientists will care about. And they need a better front person than Fauci. Fauci just radiates highly-credentialed-beltway-insider arrogance however nice he tries to sound and however right he may be.

Of course you could argue such a role should be the place of the executive, and the CDC was trying to fill the gap left by a largely absent Trump administration, and by the time the Biden admin took over Fauci's position as front-man/leadership was already too solidified. Maybe so, but the CDC and public institutions in general have failed the task of public leadership, although thankfully have had success in logistics/vaccine development.
People talk about the right to repair, but I'd rather have the right to run disconnected and stop updates without product failure.

I loved my Lumia 920. By far the fastest and cleanest mobile OS I had used.

App support was lackluster though. It always felt like companies and developers had absolutely no intention to reimplement their applications on Windows Phone, even when it had a bigger market share than iPhone, especially in mid/low-income countries.

So I was stuck in 2015 with no authenticators, no mobile banking, no public transport apps. Even some of the biggest apps out there like Facebook where not releasing all of their products, e.g. there was no Snapchat and many other big names.

Windows Phone ultimately was killed by lack of third party applications and Microsoft imho should've kept burning money for 3/4 years more into the ecosystem bringing more applications on their mobile platform.

Every dishwasher I've ever used, your best bet is to put everything on full blast, least efficient settings. Otherwise the dishes get "almost" clean. I always imagine the engineers standing around patting themselves on the back after testing, and marveling how their ideas worked so well most of the dishes got clean.

The dishes all need to be totally clean, every time, or it's useless to me.
The concept of whether something is "good for the environment" is fundamentally flawed because there really exist only degrees.

Literally anything we do modifies the environment. We generally tend to define "reversion to nature" as being a good thing, e.g. things that allow ecosystems to function independent of our fiddlings.

I think that the primary contribution to "ecosystem change" is not actually fossil fuel use (e.g. CO2 emission), but land use. There is no Amazon if you cut it down, the Swedish wilderness isn't wild if you criss cross it with roads, the lakes aren't the same if you dam them for hydro, etc.

We can't exist as a species of seven billion individuals that each seek to exact some amount of change that sums to an enormous difference without changing the planet. Regardless of whether you think it's a good or a bad thing, it just is, we do things.

We could create a car that runs on water and has tyres made of biodegradable leaves and it still can't go anywhere without roads that cause wildlife corridors.
If disabling an antenna makes the machine fail to operate, what happens when I live in a poor service area? There's places in my house where the cell signal is unusable.

And if they let you use it if the antenna is intact (tamper sensing cover for it, maybe?) but without service, then you just need a low power RF noise generator right beside it.
There have been improvements in the amount of water used since mine was made.
I think the cynicism is because organizations hire both kinds of people, but for different roles.

Management is hired to be mercenary, while employees are hired to be conscientious.
Not to derail the conversation but I really am genuinely confused about the high level of concern about cobalt and lithium mining I often see in comments on HN. I understand that it is a dirty and difficult process but the entire petroleum-based supply chain is dirty and difficult.

Is there some solid research out there that indicates that the footprint of this mining practice is much worse?
Sadly, I don't think dishwashers will last 20 years any more. Since 2005, I'm on my third dishwasher. The first one lasted 9 years, the second one around 5 (with one under warranty repair).

At some point the repairs/parts cost more than what the original dishwasher is worth.

Regarding the algorithm, I'm not sure they make a huge difference anyways. FWIW, The Technology Connections channel on YouTube has a couple of pretty interesting videos on how dishwashers work and how to get the most out of them:

What is the problem with editing a show for rebroadcast? If the archive is destroyed or inaccessible, that is certainly terrible. But seems perfectly normal to edit a show broadcast (the same way a modern version of a Shakespeare play is different than the original).

- Accepted fact 1: eating saturated fat causes more coronary heart disease thank unsaturated fat (very high correlation, and accepted as causal)

- Accepted fact 2: eating trans fat is bad. A diet high in trans fats can contribute to obesity, high blood pressure, and higher risk for heart disease, because intake of dietary trans fat disrupts the body's ability to metabolize essential fatty acids. Trans fat is also implicated in Type 2 diabetes.

Historically margarine was low in saturated fat but high in trans fat due to partial hydrogenation - hence the questionable "health benefits" of it vs butter.

Currently in most of the developed world vegetable spreads are not allowed to contain significant amounts of partially hydrogenated oils, and thus margarine should be healthier - but there is a powerful dairy lobby so the bad reputation will last for a long while...
Hopefully, we'll see at some point a standardized RISC-V compute module, that can be used as a building brick for all kind of devices. Besides laptops, an open-hardware server with 32 of those modules for instance would be a thing.
What you are experiencing is called culture shock. My advice: go with the flow, learn the language as much as you can rather than to default to English stick with your broken Estonian and gradually improve it. Do not expect a foreign country to cater to you, you moved, they didn't. I've lived in plenty of places and this simple rule made my life a lot easier.
This is the coolest project/product I've seen lately. Great idea to program the module via the website (+works offline!).

For less ambitious hobbyist projects, there are USB type C decoy modules on Aliexpress for around $1 USD each, in 9V, 12V, 15V and 20V versions. Not programmable, but should do the work.

Is there any solution to the equivalent of keeping someone's card of file and charging them in Crypto either on-demand or as part of a subscription?

I like the ability to allow for Crypto payments, but not having a card on file makes collections very challenging.
Of course you have to rely on experts, that is not the criticism. The criticism is that people with opposing views were silenced and declared as spreaders of misinformation. It is not hard to craft a counter argument if you have evidence for it. Just stating that you believe that X is wrong is enough. Having X removed hints that you do not have contradicting evidence. If said evidence is not politically communicable, you still should not ban people and remain on your position.
There is no reason driver-less cars have to be electric just because current ones are. In fact I'd go so far as to suggest that if/when they come out it they will be most popular in non-electric cars. That is trucks (of all sizes) that need to operate all day, and thus the range of electric is an issue. Take a driver-less truck and it doesn't need to worry about the DOT time limit of drivers and so it can cover a lot of road in 24 hours. Stop only for fuel- full service fueling is easy for a truck stop to offer, and only takes about 10-20 minutes per day vs several hours over the course of a day for electric.

For getting cars around a city electric makes sense. For longer highway trips it is questionable for cars (I know people do it, but they spend a lot more time recharging).

OTOH, if electric is enough cheaper maybe trucking companies will be willing to have their loads take longer. I'm guessing a mix, cargo that needs to be there fast will run diesel fuel, less time sensitive cargo will run electric (but trains still compete well on cost for this)

SecurityHub will notify you if you launch the managed ES service outside a VPC. It’s still your responsibility to ensure that there is no ingress from the internet to the associated subnets.

If you’re launching EC2 and installing ES on it, you’re probably going to have to create your own Config rules for auditing.

> The issue that plagues us is a lack of trust in long-standing societal authorities.

This misses a lot of the cause. People aren't listening on the vaccine because there were no WMDs in Iraq. All the "experts" said that too.

The fact that huge frauds have been perpetuated at scale against our entire society and nobody has been held to account is a major reason for collapsing trust. It would be very helpful if the parties responsible had at least been censured even if the political class couldn't muster the will to truly apply penalties, but few in the political class have even admitted that anything bad happened.

When trusted authorities perpetuate frauds or display extreme incompetence and then just paper it over (often at others' expense), they are destroying the fundamental trust basis of society. Opportunistic politicians are destroyers of civilization.

I guess it's kind a spectrum:

1. Wordpress in a default install, definitely not static

2. Wordpress with a caching plugin, wherein the cache is generated on request is only expired on page update. Still not really static

3. Wordpress with a caching plugin, where the cache is created on page edit but still served by the PHP code

4. Wordpress with a caching plugin, where the cache is created on page edit but pushed to another server to serve (i.e. using it as a headless CMS)

5. Your standard markdown -> html static site tool

To me step 4 is when the resulting site crosses over to a static site.

People have been talking about conservation and re-foresting, and preserving the Amazon for at least 80 years. Governments all over the world establish national parks and I know some are actively working on wildlife corridors to improve ecosystems.

If we existed as a species at only slightly higher density and energy efficiency there would be a lot more space for wilderness - the good news is that climate change mitigation is also consistent with that goal!
