I hope you are right but I am skeptical that the reduction in the number of cars will offset the increase in miles driven over the next couple decades where it matters most.

Shared-use vehicles exist (the taxis you mention, as well as car shares and rental cars) and with the exception of cities that have extremely expensive car ownership costs most people still choose to own a personal vehicle for commuting. Would you rely on the availability of a shared vehicle during rush hour to meet your commuting needs?

I have a very hard time imagining many Americans who live in a suburb or car-dependent city giving up their private vehicle no matter how cheap or reliable shared vehicles become. Perhaps if car ownership became two or three times more expensive (e.g. carbon taxes on new vehicles, no parking minimums, paying market rates for parking spaces, etc) people might switch, but I am skeptical that any of those will come to pass as long as most voters drive cars.
This is a massively disingenuous argument, and you know it.

WRT 2, plenty of people use more "programming" style notation. Most cryptography papers these days define algorithms as sequences of steps that look quite a bit like code, just with Greek letters for many of the variable names (but italicized words for function names). EG this paper[1] picked from the last week of IACR preprints shows the style. That's just the first one I clicked, the title looked interesting. Most of the rest use a similar style.

The big reason for single-letter variable names is that historically multiplication can be denoted by concatenation. It makes formulae shorter, so they don't need line breaks. Personally I don't think that's a huge benefit, particularly when there's more than one sort of product possible so you end up needing to explicitly denote multiplication anyway.

Where is the evidence?

I think it's extremely important that mass media organisations are held accountable to what they publish, given their reach. As such I always wonder if there is a collection of revisions that major news articles have made, especially in this age that it's simply a page on a URL.

There is archive.org but has someone identified the noteworthy alterations?
I hear ya. The stuff under "regulatory arbitrage" or "legal gray area" seems less interesting to me because of this. I don't have the expertise to tell if there's fundamental value or just breaking the rules.

That said, I'm interested in developments that do follow local laws, or explorations to what extent this is possible. Either that they're succeeding completely not as securities (pure utility somehow), or that they are clearly securities (ie trading stocks on the blockchain).

I personally think calling this censorship is cheapening the word and making it easier for real censorship to happen. If anything, we should make sure that everyone actually knows that mass-media has always been edited to fit the zeitgeist and that it is important to always be curious what the archival footage shows. Which brings me to my other nitpick: BBC are *not* censoring their archives as the title is suggesting, they are *editing* their current broadcast, which has been happening for centuries when old media is being reused.
that goes for other professions just as well.

the reason people make arguments like what you just wrote is so cheaper labor can be hired, and does not need to be compensated for prior education.

that is the real problem of our industry. it’s still a very young one with no unions or professional organisations that protect the interests of those working in it. law, medicine, construction etc all have solved these problems.
> How do I present myself as worthy in this landscape?

I do interviews at my company. What I do consider is:

- can we (you and me) talk about a problem in technical terms and come up with a solution in a decent time (e.g., 30 min.)? If so, I want you in my team (so I vote "hire", but others decide)

- your past experience (professional or not). Similar as above: walk me through your most interesting projects/products

If you are good enough that you can mock the previous 2 points (talk BS and the like) without actually knowing what you are talking about and you even convince me of the contrary... well, you are hired as well (that's like the Chinese Room problem, right?)

This has been going on for a few months now, and will probably spread in Europe. Remains to be seen what happens in the US, since Tesla has their own charging connector here. European Teslas use CCS, but obviously that wasn't an option for the first years of the US supercharger built-out, so it seems we're stuck with their proprietary connector here.

Tesla does appear to be planning some superchargers in Texas with CCS connectors available, because they're required as a condition of grant money: https://insideevs.com/news/556749/tesla-grant-application-su...

Could be they'll start doing that at other new construction if they want to bring non-Tesla supercharger access to the US. Or maybe they can make a Tesla-to-CCS cable adapter and sell it to people who want to join the supercharger club. Or maybe they won't do anything.
I don't think I've ever used a programming language that didn't say somewhere in the documentation that destructors were a broken feature that you shouldn't really used.

Practically the best kind of finalization mechanism seems to be the try-finally block, with and similar kinds of structure that are tied to some execution scope. On the other hand there are more dynamic situations where you really need a variable lifetime and there isn't a great answer for that other than building some manual 'teardown' infrastructure as is necessary if you want to build parallel processing pipelines with Java's Executors that always give the right answers.
"With your Tesla, you’ll also have access to the lowest Supercharger pricing."

This feels like something that would be illegal if say, a gas station had a deal to give better gas prices to Toyota owners.

Maybe, maybe not. But a lot of those companies haven’t existed for longer than my latest washer.

You buy those brands because you know exactly what you get. Basically guaranteed performance for the next 10 years, and very likely after.

I do wish they didn’t jump on the app bandwagon, but they really have no choice since the rabble wants it. I swear people will pick an appliance with an app simply so they don’t have to press the preheat button on their oven. And you can do it from the couch! Never mind that you don’t ever do that…
Nope, that's how you're "supposed" to use them.

Seriously, you too can save a bunch of electricity and wasted time by pre-washing stuff before putting it in the dishwasher.

I suspect the author may have tweaked the code for presentation in the blog without rechecking that it still works. Or else it needs some specific implementation and version of awk, with specific command line arguments that are not given, unfortunately.

Then don't purchase a smart dishwasher. I won't be purchasing one either, nor will I purchase a smart microwave or a host of other smart appliances. The person who made the tweet, made the exact opposite decision AND connected their appliance to the internet.
Back in 2014 Tesla offered up access to all of their supercharger related patents for free, but anyone who wanted to take advantage would have to agree to never attempt to enforce any other patent against Tesla or against any other company using your technology to make electric vehicles.

So obviously no one used it because "give out free access to all of your future electric car technology forever" is a pretty shit trade for "we'll share our couple year head start on charging" in the long term, and now we have incompatible charging networks.
For a company that received billions in subsidies having open infrastructure really shouldn't be a choice IMO. But the government is probably more to blame for not making it mandatory.
Normal dishwashers solve for this with a button or knob labeled “delay”. Breaking out an app to set the dishwasher to start late songs much less convenient. Occasionally I wish I had more granularity on the delay but never have I wanted an app to do it.

I don’t know what I’d do with any of that other stuff. Does your dishwasher actually try to measure water quality? Because that seems like a really poor fit. I wouldn’t trust water quality measurements coming out of my dishwasher anyway. It’s measuring hot water which isn’t what you should be drinking, and I’d give it a 99% chance that the person who crammed those sensors in didn’t do a good job of insulating them from the heat, vibration, etc.

Thank you for the clear explanation! Pretty sure we talked about open and closed intervals in my first week of undergrad but as a mechanical engineer we stopped there and never took a look at the more general concept.
A Paradox of Course Correction
That’s not my take at all. Many people respond with hand waving arguments: maybe epoll is faster because the benchmark is wrong, or only one file descriptor is used (which wasn’t correct but said anyway), etc. Other people also respond saying they’ve been unable to match epoll performance when trying to add io_uring support to their libraries.
Presumably the dawn of driverless cars is coupled with driverless mass transport, which would offset the environmental impact to some degree? Drivers of these vehicles are often - if not always - the most expensive part of the system. They can only work for so long, often only during daylight hours without a significant pay rise in most first world countries, and it's not a desirable job so very few people train into it.

As such, most bus transport as an example is limited in both routes and hours run. The use of public transport is directly linked with how accessible and affordable it is. If I have to get 4 different routes to get to my destination in 3 times the time as it takes to drive, I'll drive any day of the week. I spend thousands on insurance, servicing, repair, etcetera. If there are hundreds of busses, running just as many routes, at all hours of the day, you bet I'd ditch my car in an instant; driverless or not.
I think in the end it's not abut utility--adding "smart" lets you dramatically bump the price. Look at smoke detectors (as an example I was thinking about this morning): the best-rated (Consumer Reports) wired smoke detector costs $31. Ten-year sealed battery models cost less. But the smart smoke detectors start at $130.

These cost another $2 in hardware and some dev (and probably certification) costs to recoup, but they also open the opportunity for subscriptions and who-knows-what-kind-of in-app purchases which can be sold to anxious-complacent-frazzled consumers with extra disposable income.

Tesla is making dishwashers now?
Ooof, this makes me conflicted.

On the one hand, it's great to share empty supercharger capacity with all EVs, making EVs generally more attractive - and of course, more money for Tesla from charging maybe = even more superchargers.

On the other hand, the biggest challenges with an EV vs. ICE car are (obviously) range and charging. With this in mind, the supercharger network, and supercharger capacity generally being ample, probably rate pretty high when choosing a Tesla.

It mightn't take many instances of having to wait to charge due to non-Teslas filling up supercharger capacity for that USP to fade and the Tesla ownership experience to be significantly damaged.
> To be fair, it could also get functionality updates

This is an important point that owners[1] sometimes miss.

For example, if the owner makes a deal to partner with the maker of a particular detergent tab, the owner could create a new feature that only works with those tabs and not regular powder detergent.

When security researchers report SERIOUS security bugs to the manufacturers, as happened again and again the last years, without them acknowledging or fixing them for many months then I think it's safe to say they don't really care about security.

You can go and talk about complex software and that vulnerabilities will always exists how much you want, but there is no excuse for these big companies to not fix major bugs like this within a week from when it's been reported. I don't care if that means that the developers have to postpone their fancy AI face recognition feature that will make your face look like an emoji. NO EXCUSES.

>The founders, employees, investors all get their liquidity on day one (and even with vesting schedules on tokens, VCs have been selling their interest in their un-vested stakes). There's no incentive to build a business. The only incentive that exists is to pump the token at all costs. Your only incentive is to build a "community" and "enthusiasm" and spend your entire budget on marketing. Anything you spend building a business is a complete waste and sets you at a disadvantage relative to your peers.

Maybe a silly question, but does Miele require a specific kind of cleaning powder or packet, or does it have an option to tell it what kind of cleaning powder you're using?

My dishwasher you just dump any boxed powder in and I can use any brand I want. I'm assuming that for a machine this expensive and geared at long-term usage Miele would have the same capabilities, and it's not like a Keurig thing where the user is forced to use individual pods.

But if that's the case then I'm not sure how this would work unless the user enters a config setting or something for what soap they're commonly using. Water hardness the washer could measure itself, I guess.

I don't get where you got this from, you have global organizations without world governments, to supervise global rules - like the WTO, World Trade Organization (I made a typo called it WTC, should be WTO).

>The World Trade Organization (WTO) is the only global international organization dealing with the rules of trade between nations. At its heart are the WTO agreements, negotiated and signed by the bulk of the world’s trading nations and ratified in their parliaments. The goal is to ensure that trade flows as smoothly, predictably and freely as possible.[0]

I added smart plugs flashed with Tasmota to appliances to determine that they are "done". No need for proprietary apps or to call the manufacturer, just measure the power draw.

Someone still has to be there in person to put the dishes in the dishwasher, add the detergents, and close it. All this seems to be doing is moving the next step "Pressing the start button" further away behind more unnecessary steps (Search app store for dishwasher app, download dishwasher app, create dishwasher app account, connect dishwasher to wifi/bluetooth and pair with diswasher app, press "start wash" on dishwasher app from your bedroom and hope that whomstever loaded the dishwasher in person closed the door and added detergent)
