And the effect itself will go both ways for the likes of Old Neil. Until his recent tantrum I had no idea what a disgusting vile hateful piece of shit he is.

My wonderful kind loving gentle uncle was a young gay man when Mr. Young said this, and the idea of this pathetic coward using his power to be stirring up hatred against him and everyone like him makes me feel physically ill. I wonder how many gay beatings and murders and how much bullying this piece of human garbage's outspoken hatred resulted in.

Turns out he hasn't changed his spots either (which they never do they just try to blend in).

This loser looks like a typical hypocrite limousine liberal to me, attaching itself like a parasite to "causes" that others have actually sweat and bled for, in order to feed off its popularity, while actually being a hateful selfish hypocrite. A sad, pathetic, angry, cowardly little loser. A washed-up irrelevant has-been. Fuck Neil Young, we still don't want him around.

If Neil Young disagrees with something, it's worth looking into. Never listened to Rogan before, might give him a try now on Neil's glowing recommendation.
> In addition to BA.1 and BA.2, the WHO lists two other subvariants under the Omicron umbrella: BA.1.1.529 and BA.3. All are closely related genetically, but each features mutations that could alter how they behave.

Is this semver? Phrased as a joke, but I'm curious if anybody in the field hangs around here and knows how these bugs get their names.
I love reading articles like this where you cover the mistakes along the way. Not enough people recognize the value of sharing in struggles rather than just triumphs.

It's the same reason I like watching "Nailed It" with my daughter. You learn so much more about why each ingredient is important than you would by watching someone faithfully follow a recipe with typical results.
The situation is Texas was a complex interplay of a lack of winterization and over-demand on the natural gas network. This electric F-150 appeals to me for a number of reasons but one of them is that I could have powered my house for three days off this truck assuming I purchase and install a cutover switch, rather than have no power for seven days like I did last February.
Fair enough. Youre in a special situation. Seattle is close to refineries and the incoming alaska oil. Gas will still go over $10 a gallon in our lifetime and I bet your van smells like, well, burning fossil fuels.
Electric grids dont need to handle the load to charge cars if we all help support the grid (geothermal, solar, hydro, etc). Its possible, we just like the hand-wringing that goes along with 'its so hard'.

I agree that Microsoft has put tons of resources into developer evangelism. Wsl, vscode, and terminal have been a major turn around for them. But I’m not sure they’re trying to be anything more than “the only option that was presented to me” with anyone else other than executives that sign the office365 contract.

> thousands (millions?) of people are now full-time YouTubers

I would guess not millions. All the relevant numbers are confidential, but estimates seem to suggest that having a million subscribers[0] is probably the level at which you could comfortably make it a full-time job, and there are maybe roughly 20,000 YouTubers with that many subscribers[1].

Bear in mind, YouTube is a global platform, so that number has to be spread across multiple countries. Therefore, other than maybe the US, I'd expect that no country has more than 1000 people whose job is full-time YouTuber. Also, for comparison, Lego has about 20,000 employees worldwide.[2]

What most analysis if Microsoft misses, and I think this one does as well, is that Microsoft is mostly not an innovator. What they have always excelled at is execution. They were late to the internet, phones, and now the cloud. But given their foothold (in the IBM days, this used to be called Account Control, but we don't whisper that anymore). So when it was clear that cloud was the thing, they came up with Azure, and as usual, are executing on this very well.

Because of this, I don't think it is a good example for startups to follow. I think that successful startups are innovators.
It’s often useful to have the obvious or insignificant already established in the literature allowing one to focus on more elusive and revolutionary research!

It is a deterministic algo for SR that I've always thought would benefit from RL.

The biggest problem is SR research has been and still is the lack of a widely used dataset and reproducible results. There is a researcher who beats everyone's results within a year by publishing to Springer without code or data...
Capitalism really gave the wealthy a reason to not hurt the up and coming, by requiring the newcomers to pay tribute to the old rich.

It's not doing good per se(since capitalism doesn't care if you're doing good or bad, just profitably), just that you can't benefit without also benefiting some already wealthy folks. Thus, the wealthy folks are incentivized to allow the new rich to propser

I suspect as fullsize trucks become electric we're going to see a lot of "highfalutin commuter car" + "highfalutin SUV/minivan/compact truck" driveways turn into "single electric fullsize truck" driveways since the electric aspect projects a totally different image making these vehicles an acceptable solution for these people.
It should be fantastic for towing heavy stuff relatively short distances (less than 150 miles). Electric motors make 100% of their torque from 0 RPM. This is why freight trains are powered by electric motors, with diesel engines merely generating electricity.
That’s not our call to make when filing a safety complaint. The NHTSA is tasked with evaluating safety complaints from drivers, interpreting the rules and law, and reaching a judgment on whether a response should occur. Our part in the NHTSA process is to file the safety complaint, not to tell them how to do their job in response to it.

For those of you that file a complaint, please maintain your focus on the safety issues the update has created in your driving, rather than verging into specific demands of outcome. “I can’t find my front defroster while I’m driving since XYZ software update” is really great and specific, “so therefore Tesla and NHTSA should do ABC” is unhelpful and does not strengthen your case. No need to backseat-drive the NHTSA, just please do get the safety report filed.

Do you have data to back that up? 100 miles is pretty significant for a work truck, especially if youre assuming you wont be able to charge it at the turnaround point and get ~200 miles
That's not what's at issue here though, is it.
Browser makers do not want you to do this. Or at the very least, not enough to want to help you.

Plugins are no longer a thing except for the mostly useless extensions that are only a few steps above a bookmarklet.

As far as I'm concerned,HTML is the best thing we have ever had to represent basically anything that goes on a screen, but HTTP isn't great for some use cases, mostly because of TLS.

Beaker Browser is making a good effort, but I don't really consider any web technology usable till it has mobile support, and I don't like Hypercore's use of append only logs instead of being truly mutable-first.
Why European influences, vs the experiences of people that the Europeans screwed over to become wealthy?

This seems to ignore the history of bad people stealing land to make themselves rich, and the continuing wealth from that theft.
As other have mentioned. I am not an expert on the subject, but as far as I am aware Arcade owned and operate by the same company like Saga World London is a relatively new and niche phenomenon. Arcade for most of their life are just being sold and operated by other parties when Arcade were everywhere ( in Japan anyway ) back in the 80s and 90s.

I do miss SegaWorld London though.
This reminds of the times when I was at school and was solving the weekly online challenges for National Cipher Challenge (UK). My program which cracked Vigenere cipher was one of my first projects when I was learning programming. My solution depended on the fact that I knew a few words which will occur in the plaintext, and I would just try these words in all possible positions in the text and get the possible keys.

Crime is not the only variable affecting the economy. I gave you another variable - paying people to not work.

It's a question for you. Which would you choose?

As for trends, there's been a decades long increasing trend of people leaving their jobs for one reason or another and getting on disability. Disability pays less than their jobs did, but it's a workable life. Their standard of living went down, but it wasn't because of rich people. It was because they found a friendly doctor who could get them on disability, and they wouldn't have to work anymore.

https://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/statcomps/di_asr/2016/sect01...

Do you think that a 5 fold increase in the number of workers on disability in the last 70 years might have contributed to inequality?
Ok fair enough on the ABS.

I think drivers education is severely lacking in North America. If it wasn't we wouldn't need to rely so heavily on building $100k armored tank vehicles with .01nm of force behind the wheel that nobody has a chance in hell of repairing themselves. There's no reason Granny shouldn't also be able to catch a slide.
>It doesn't mean that but it should always be treated as a possible factor, and analyzed in light of other connections.

But do you not see how this will result in conspiracy theories? You are no longer engaging with the merits of a study and are instead questioning the motivations and source behind that study. You are shifting from a more objective argument to a more subjective one allow more room for conspiracy theories.

>Collusion is very real when billions of dollars are on the line and it is naive to assume otherwise.

Yes, which is why "do your own research" is often misleading because those billions of dollars have greatly impacted what research is available to you.
>Almost doesn’t matter how good these EV alternatives are if they can’t ship 100k units in the US.

Rivian is basically a startup, they shouldn't be lumped in with everyone else's capabilities. As for the existing brands, I don't think it's because they're not capable. They're still printing money from their current vehicles so they're slowly rolling over engineering resources and funding to the EV side of things. The EV truck market is basically non-existent. Rivian is realistically the only manufacturer who has to worry about competition for the next few years. The F-Series generated $42 billion in revenue for 2019[1] without any EV powertrains offered. If Ford put 100% of their engineering manpower and funds towards EV's tomorrow they would cripple themselves.

My company is already here. All code is built and tested on our cloud. Guess what, everyone still gets a $2000 MacBook even though a chrome book would work just as well. Developers don’t like to feel like their employers are cheap.
That's fair -- looks like the base model F-150 starts at ~$30k and the base model electric F-150 starts at ~$42k. I didn't compare any features though.
At the margins.

But let’s say there are 100 heart transplant specialists in the US getting paid $1M per year, but you need 200.

You can increase their wages as high as you want and you can’t create 100 of them out of thin air.

I’d suggest for highly technical roles, shortages can exist.

Unskilled or semi-skilled labor is a better fit for your statement.

I would guess that sterilization is among the most common medical procedures that people under-go between vasectomies, tubal litigations, IUDs, and hormonal options. Transgenderism might be the most elaborate way to go about it, though I believe in some cases they can remain fertile or delay procedures until after having children - I'd imagine it's a consideration when they talk to a doctor.
You are underpaid.

There are two types of American companies hiring devs from LatAm. The ones that are actively recruiting in LatAm and the ones that just hire remote and don’t mind you are out of the US.

The actively recruiting ones are trying to make the salary arbitrage work in their favor. They will offer top 1% salary of the local market. Which is a lot lower than American labor market for tech. That’s probably what you got.

Then there are those that just hire remotely and don’t mind being outside of the US. They are basically the same as in the US. They don’t recruit in LatAm. They are also small companies. You don’t find them on LinkedIn or through recruiters. You find them on AngeList and HN’s Who is Hiring. Look for those and it will not be hard to find a job paying a senior $10k a month (more depending on experience, luck, and negotiation). Those $15k seems to be the ceiling though, FAANG don’t hire like this

Plenty of people use half ton trucks like that. Sure it's a little harder on equipment and you have to put up with internet commenters taking cheap swipes at you over safety (the heck is the point of having a tow rating if everything up to that rating isn't fair game?) but the trucks handle the job nicely enough.
Considering the "downhill quick" progression of Google Maps, that's perfectly possible, especially if we count the PMs along with the developers.

It's also not like Trello is some wonder of software engineering either (or that impressive functionality wise).
Range of 320 miles. After that, how long do I have to sit to charge it? How is that going to work on a long road trip? Or even on a moderately short trip if where I am going has no chargers? What about if I am going somewhere away from home - now I have to make sure I can charge it? Gas stations are everywhere and after a few minutes pumping I have hundreds more miles.

Until these issues get sorted out, electric will remain niche. What I don’t understand is why all-electric gets all the hype, while hybrid avoids most of these issues while still polluting less. It’s similar to the hype around 100 percent self-driving, when lesser solutions like front-collision avoidance are proven and ready to go right now. They’re just not as sexy.
Im not sure what you're talking about presently.
This is true for everything in life, I believe. Kind of reminds me Shatner’s epiphany post Blue Origin flight, compared to Bezos’.
Even with wage inequality fixed, we would still be heading to a dual class dystopian future. The rate of capital return is running off and even those with "good" income will struggle to keep up with people starting their life with family wealth.

It's happening now. Specialists around me can't find an affordable house even with their relatively high salary unless their parents can help with their initial deposits for a mortgage and ,at least for my country, it's looking to get worse with no capital gains tax :^)
I'm quite interested in an electric truck (for camping/kayaking/skiing/off-roading/etc. trips). However, I'm quite wary of the range. I was talking to my dad about this a few weeks ago, and I'd be a little nervous to take a truck in the wilderness with "only" a ~350mi range (in perfectly ideal conditions). Your vehicle is your lifeline out there and if you run out of power, it can turn into a life-or-death situation (especially in the winter or at high altitudes).

I'm not sure how a Rivian or the new F-150 Lightning would compare to a more typical rugged off-roading vehicle (e.g. Raptor, a TRX, or a Rubicon), let alone a truly heavy-duty one (Land Rover Defender, H1, or G-Class).

Maybe bringing some gas + a generator would be a viable contingency? At the expense of some weight, of course.
The worst part is that the car is smart enough to be creative with touch controls and submenus, but not smart enough to automatically and reliably turn on the defroster when needed.

Is auto-defrost such a hard problem for a company that pretends to make self driving cars? Maybe it is, but if that's the case, don't make life harder on the driver by hiding the controls.
I would argue that it wasn't just social media. Before the internet, it was relatively easy for a politician to 'pivot', to say something to one group, but quite a different thing to another. Now it is carefully catalogued and these days carefully tracked by anyone with any interest to care.

Social media just put some gas on a fire with engagement optimization. The rest was just human nature.
The power grid will have to adapt the same way we spent trillions to build offshore oil rigs and refineries and tankers and thousands of gas stations.

by comparison beefing up the grid should be easy, especially since it is easy to incentivize off peak car charging which drastically reduces how hard this is to do
And for those of us who don't want to live exclusively in their walled garden, it's an ecosystem rife with friction and sludge.

I've mostly installed them on motorcycles over the years. The combination of a modulator/flasher (several pulses and then solid) and a bright LED tail light makes a HUGE difference in how cars behind you follow - I converted several motorcycles at different points in time and observed the rather significantly increased following distance on each one as I converted them.

I don't know the legality of them, but nobody ever complained on the motorcycles.

For all practical purposes a motor operating at full load under hundreds of RPM is stalled. Motors let out the smoke (or have to throttle back) if you do that too much. The operating speed range of a motor is not infinite. For really high torque applications that also demand high speed you are going to see 2spd gear boxes for the same reasons your power drill has a 2spd gearbox.

While this truck may or may not (I haven't looked at the specs) have a gearbox expect to see trucks with a gearbox (especially as we start seeing electric commercial vehicles). A simple gearbox consisting of two shafts, four gear and a dog clutch or one planetary and a dog clutch is going to be cheaper, lighter and offer less kludgy performance than over-specing the motor.
I agree it's a great feature, but how many people who would be served by a backup battery don't already have a backup generator for when their power goes out?

Enterprise seems like by far the best use for vr to me. I wouldn’t be surprised if companies start sending all their wfh employees headsets made by Microsoft for meetings.
I truly believe that UI in software must be done by an external consultant, on a one-time contract basis. Don't hire them full-time, they will fuck it up eventually. It is extremely limiting for a designer to work on the same app, same design every day. They will always try to bring in a new UI every couple years, just to maintain their own sanity. But it's not good for the product and its users. So let designers work on various different products.
Was this irony?
[sadly can't fix typo; I wish HN would extend its editing window from a few hours to a week or so.]
its pretty simple:

an electric truck can tow big stuff no problem, but not very far.

so whether it is good for towing depends on how far you tow.
