You being seriously injured or dying in an offset ~30mph collision, versus getting out of the car dazed and confused is the difference. And yes, passenger safety didn't change much for American cars between the 50's and early 80's.

You causing more pollution (particulate, NOx, etc) than a hundred luxury SUVs or more, is the difference.

Driving down the highway at 75mph able to hear the back seat passenger whisper versus having to talk loudly so the person in the front seat next to you can understand you.

A climate control system that keeps the car comfortable whether it is -20 degrees or 100 degrees.

Handling, brakes, and acceleration that is astronomically better than whatever your Chevette has.

There's no such thing as a "200mpg engine" - most modern car engines are very efficient, with the Prius's Atkinson cycle engine being the most efficient among worldwide-available, mass-production, affordable cars. It's a function of aerodynamics, parasitic electrical and mechanical losses, and weight.

> It's not all one thing or the other, and it never should be, but we've been milking the old internal combustion cash cow for so long we've virtually guaranteed her death, even though evolution of the internal combustion engine would be a net benefit.

Making an engine that would last 750,000 miles is certainly possible - just look at engines in big rigs - but people don't care about that in a personal vehicle, and the capex and opex for such an engine is incredible compared to the cost of making it significantly cheaper but slightly less reliable.

They want a low price tag and low maintenance during the period they own the car. That's why most engines have a 10k oil change interval (though part of that is due to much improved quality of oil, and better filters.)
Asking as a total layperson: have any automated machine translation techniques been applied to undeciphered scripts such as the ones discussed in this article? If so, what was the outcome?
If you know that you have a scheduled meeting coming up, and then you scheduled your "deep work" to run over the top of it, that's not great time management on your behalf. It's also potentially a symptom of inefficient scheduling, since it should be possible to schedule meetings (especially 1on1s) at a time of day that is least disruptive for the participants.

I do know how easy it is to get in the zone as a developer, and subsequently feel frustrated that a useless meeting just popped up in the middle of your flow, but that's not a good reason to write off 1on1s entirely. Worst case your flow will be interrupted once a week. Two if your team has a weekly retrospective as well. If two interruptions per week is significantly damaging your productivity, something is wrong.

Personally, I am not a fan of meetings in general, and I do consider many of them to be useless. But 1on1s and retrospectives are the two that I mandate in the teams that I lead - one is for the health of my reports, and the other is for the health of the team. All other meetings can and should be optional. If someone is feeling snowed under by all the other meetings, then it's exactly during the 1on1 or retro when those feelings can be shared. If you don't have those meetings, then you're relying on everyone on the team to always speak up whenever they need help, and while that might work for certain, very assertive and/or self-centered employees, it doesn't work for everyone. For that reason I think it's important to schedule these times in deliberately to give people the opportunity to express themselves.

When there isn't a culture of open communication - which is established through regular meetings of this sort - many employees find it difficult to be honest about their challenges and difficulties (on the negative side) or goals and aspirations (on the positive side). In either case I believe it improves productivity and retention to give employees dedicated space to talk about that stuff.

I'm not sure this is a good idea. SSH best practice is that you acquire the server's key fingerprints via a previous secure channel. E.g., Hetzner will email them to you when they set up your server.

Your comment is easy to misread. If free speech only consists of demeaning and bullying statements, why is it worthwhile to defend?

In this specific case, what about the tweet in question is worth defending? Is it worth defending only because it happens to be speech, or is there some actual merit to said speech?

well if that is true it would be pretty revolutionary, its about double most piston engines
Sounds similar to experimental designs by Rolls Royce for a diesel rotary during the 60s, in that it uses two separate parallel shafts and rotors for intake/compression and ignition/exhaust.

> In the case of the Rolls-Royce Wankel Diesel, the fuel-air mixture is first compressed by the lower rotary, and the output of that engine (which would be like the exhaust valve of a conventional rotary) sends the compressed diesel/air mixture to the intake of the smaller upper rotary engine, where it’s compressed to ignite like a regular diesel engine.

Seems like it had the same issues that have always plagued rotaries, primarily with apex seals.

You're basically just describing therapy sessions.

I don't need daily group therapy with my team or weekly individual therapy with my manager.

There's not that much to say, I can't invent that much to say, people rarely need that much communication.

I don't need to brainstorm ideas daily/weekly, don't need to set intentions. I often know what needs to be done for long stretches and am more than capable of communicating it ad hoc when it is most useful to communicate it. We have at our disposal half a dozen forms of communication, forced regular meetings can be the worst kind.
I'm unfamiliar with UK Law... Is this actually a court of law or was this done through the Sheriff's department?

The concept of Free Speech is very quickly being eroded around the world. Ira Glasser, head of the ACLU throughout the 80s until the early 2000s, was on Bill Maher last Friday. He said that when citizens don't defend Freedom of Speech, then you basically rely on the government to tell you what you're allowed to say, and that's extremely dangerous. Then you get things like this, where people are convicted of tweeting and censorship.

That said, I don't know if the UK has protections for free speech the way the US does. As a Canadian I know that the freedom of speech is not held in high regard as the US, so maybe that comes from its UK heritage.
The difference is, there's been an ammo shortage for like 10 years now.

IIRC the laws used in this prosecution were introduced when the UK was seeing a lot of ISIS support in certain segments of their population, and of course the various associated terrorist attacks.

There was a great outcry (led by Murdoch's media properties) that British citizens were tweeting pro-ISIS, anti-British sentiments but couldn't be charged under any law.

So the Tories changed that, and it was a popular change.

Of course, people always support laws that control "Them", but laws apply to all of us.

This kinda stuff is classic "Leopards ate my face, says lady who voted for the Face-eating Leopards Party".
Very similar in use, a bit different in how it does it (decentralized), a lot earlier in it's development.
I see no reason this thing wouldn't lose compression or backflow exhaust gas after wear-in, and wear-in would happen quickly with the cyclic load on those ball bearings. It's a pretty animation but unless they have some spring loading to press the upper and lower rings together the compression (and therefore efficiency) doesn't appear to be durable. There are also some limitations to having a single power stroke per revolution. This can be geared down, of course, but at an efficiency cost.
Yes, I am as well. But anything built on top of wasm to run everywhere should probably at least operate well inside a browser environment. Almost as an incubation environment for something bigger.

I used to work for a government organisation and it was the same. Once I got disillusioned with what I was doing I would put in bare minimum effort which was, show up for standup every day, filibuster a bit then checkout. I was still one of the highest out-putters in the department.
For me, the difference is crystal-clear and razor sharp.

"Putting money in every time you play" leaves the play experience itself pristine. The cost of each game is consistent.

"Microtransactions" pollute the gameplay experience itself. I don't know how much each game will cost. I might get hooked on the early stages of the game only to discover that accessing the rest of the game will require either impractical amounts of time, or some unpredictable and arbitrary amount of money. It also completely shatters the 4th wall for me, ruins the immersion.

Sometimes downvoting is purely to move a comment down when there's another comment right below it that's being pushed up (with an upvote).

>Ahead of that report, scientists are investigating three theories. Although researchers have sequenced millions of SARS-CoV-2 genomes, they might simply have missed a series of mutations that eventually led to Omicron. Alternatively, the variant might have evolved mutations in one person, as part of a long-term infection. Or it could have emerged unseen in other animal hosts, such as mice or rats

There is another theory, that Omicron is from a lab leak (or we might say "another" lab leak, but I don't want to jump to conclusions about that).

From what I've read about this, and how Omicron is lacking the signs of natural evolution (specifically having branched off a strangely early strain of COVID and having a suspiciously low count of silent mutations which are expected in natural evolution) they truly have some gall to leave this theory out of their list.

When something is in the entire public sphere, it feels off to call it "cool" when it only appeals to a certain small subgroup. At that time, the much larger general population had the opposite take on them. It's like calling Dungeons N' Dragons "cool" because nerds and geeks liked it a lot.
I in person interviewed with them late 2015ish, was extra cause the "office" was just someone's house. They ghosted me, didnt return calls/emails . I guess I was horribly bad candidate/human to deserve such treatment.

An excellent post that illustrates a common problem of perception. For those questioning some of the statements being made I just wanted to point out that the storyteller is probably engaging in hyperbole in order to help bake her point clear and persuasive.
This is kind of vaguely similar to LiquidPiston's engine[1], which is sort of like a wankel engine turned inside out. (This has a couple benefits. The equivalent of apex seals can be on the non-moving part of the engine and thus are easier to lubricate. Also, the combustion chamber can be made more closely to spherical, which in theory should improve efficiency and emissions quite a bit.)

As of awhile ago, the LiquidPiston folks were working on improving longevity. Building a test engine that works is an impressive achievement, but getting it to last also requires a lot of careful engineering and testing.

>I have a 1981 Diesel Chevette which can get 50 miles to the gallon when driven at a steady highway speed. If that forty year old fully iron engine can get 50 miles to the gallon in a car that's as aerodynamic as a brick, then why aren't new cars getting 80 miles to the gallon?

Because those modern cars have airbags, and thick pillars, etc, etc, etc and it's for your own good, peasant.

(also emissions, but modern tech to control emissions makes that a wash in the fuel economy department because said tech enables the engine to operate more efficiently on a per fuel basis)
well the claim of 60% efficiency would be 2x better than a normal car instead of 2x worse, that might inspire one to replace apex seals every five years

The Economics of Data Businesses
Arguably, the problem is one of audience. SICP is a dense book, but a liberal arts background is NOT the target audience in any way. Computer Science degrees evolved out of math and electrical engineering - those kinds of students are SICP's target audience.

HtDP does target liberal arts, and is a pretty good intro to programming, but either it or the course around it is not a great introduction to the kind of things covered in a CS degree.

Having taken and TA'd in-person course that corresponds with the MOOC about 8 years back (plus other courses)... the MOOC may be good as a standalone course, but the in-person version didn't know its audience. (Also, my understanding is that UBC has since stopped using the HtDP course as the intro for it's CS degree track.)

Business/arts students who took the course and no more CS courses did okay, but many CS track students were poorly served. It provided no real basis for understanding the data structures, logic, proofs, and low level stuff that showed up in later courses. My theory is that the course was so focused on the approach and specifics of the solutions that it never explained the why - so the programming knowledge didn't transfer well to anything other than the Racket-based HtDP environment.

It's also a miserable course to take for anyone with previous programming experience. The typing is arbitrary and not enforced by anyone but those marking the assignments. The dev environment was (maybe is?) quirky as all get-out. The libraries themselves are restrictive, or perhaps the libraries available for more interesting things aren't taught in the course - I never checked, I just wanted to get it over with.

That's not to say it was an awful course - TAing it, I definitely met students that benefited from it. However, HtDP and the course are not a SICP replacement - the targets are just too different.

In most cases I would agree, but in the case of tech reviewers? I actually kind of don't. Let me explain.

Tech reviewers have been flying under the radar a little bit, in what they do is actually already a form of advertisement. But wait, most of them are not really paid to review things... they're just given products for free in most cases that they have to return and so on. In reality this simply means the cost of the product is actually off-set to the users. When LTT gets the brand new nvidia graphics card (which he will return after testing) what he is doing is promoting the product and in my opinion he should be paid for that. By nvidia. Not by us.

Truly this is a very weird state of things, companies are getting tons of extremely cheap marketing (the cost is basically sending review units out) and there is a whole set of journalists that take advantage of our consumerism to generate content. Now, is this really a win for all? I don't think so.

In reality, I think, by using adblock you are sort of taking the cover off this completely irrational system. Why do we have to watch advertisement to watch advertisement? Reviews are obviously interesting, we want to buy good products and with so much offer it might get tricky to choose what is the best; but the way youtube reviews are sustained I believe is harmful to our interests... LTT do a great job to promote products for brands and that's why they are always some of the first to get review units but they are not some little joe talking about their experience with the phone they bought.

So I guess my point is kinda that professional reviewers are part of the advertisement machine and pretty much serve as a way of advertisement laundry for companies and like that maybe there's not really a need for them to exist as reviews are compiled and aggregated over the internet anyway. But idk, it's a difficult topic!
On the Taycan forum [0] a few people were working the math out and figured out a theoretical 2:30 charge route. It requires 55MPH cruise and a few other things, but doesn't seem that out of the realm of possibility for a manufacturer backed PR stunt.

I agree, hence why I said I don't think he should have gotten in trouble.
It's not insufficient scheduling.

If I have a standup at 10am every day, this guarantees that I'm not going to ever get anything substantial done before 10am. A 3pm weekly meeting can mostly destroy my ability to get in to deep work for that afternoon.

I don't "schedule" deep work, it is a thing that happens as a combination of what needs to be done, the time available, minor tasks, and interruptions.

Daily and weekly meetings significantly reduce the surface area available for these things to happen, and often serve as a source of boredom and frustration, being in a room with people who obviously don't have anything to say, saying words because they're supposed to.
Modern cars have improved drastically since 1981 by all metrics. Power, efficiency, safety, reliability, cost, and emissions have all improved. An amazing example of iterative refinement combined with economies of scale. If there is some cabal trying to keep cars inefficient and unreliable, they are losing.
Honestly, the gambling in Europe is so much sadder than the gambling in the US.
