> but there's no good solutions to charge your car in most places like apartment buildings

Sure there is: add chargers to more parking spaces. They don't even necessarily need to be fast chargers; cars parked at apartments will typically be parked for multiple hours at a time (heck, possibly even days). There are benefits for non-EV owners, too (namely: that power could just as well be used to run a battery tender or block heater).

Yeah, it ain't cheap (yet), but when you compare to the cost of gas (even without wars in Eastern Europe), it pays for itself.
Is it actually confusing anyone? If I search for Pepsi and some of the ads are for Coke or Dr Pepper, that seems fine to me. If it's counterfeit Pepsi or something that's clearly a different case, but if someone searches "ebay mittens" I don't think it's ridiculous to allow a mitten store to have an ad that says "we sell mittens too!".
Not really. They just fuse parts of the chip off.
This article on the overall is misleading. He’s using outdated, pre Biden numbers

There is difference between beliefs, often created by meadia and news, and witnesses. As Ukrainian, I'm a more authoritative source of information about Ukraine and Ukrainians than other people. When I will see beliefs about me posted by people who never visited Ukraine and formed by Russian state TV, I will post my witness. These posts are not equal. My witness can be used in court, while Russian disbelief cannot.

For example, the majority of HN'ers thinks or thought that «dang» is Chinese name, while very few know that «dang» means «dan g». However, the majority is not an authoritative source of information.

I'm lieutenant of Ukrainian army. Your ban is least of my concern. Russians can ban me forever. HN works well over EDGE, so I can read it more easily than other sites.

It's hard to write thoughtful comments for me right now, because I left my personal notebook at home, with all links and documents, because my internet connection doesn't allow me to browse internet freely, because HN may say that I'm posting too fast after writing long and thoughtful comment.

You are not providing us with tools to fight propaganda, disinformation, and beliefs. I need something like a court system, where everybody can lay out all facts, and then they are accepted or discarded by judges. Otherwise, I'm forced to repeat my comments again and again. Create and iCourt for me, and we will use it instead of your site.
It depends on the use case. As the sibling says, you want both, ideally a gamut, depending on the use case.

When I bought the light in my comment, I already had some Hue white lights, but they didn't make much of a difference during the day. Some pencil Osram lights [0] did help somewhat in the morning, so that's when I decided I should try a "serious" LED light. As this was for working during the day, I wanted a cooler light, but my experience with other "cool white" lights was that they looked too much like hospitals, so I settled somewhere in the middle.

While I never tried to measure the temperature, it's definitely cooler than the Hues and Osrams, but I still find it pleasant.

There are two factors to consider:

1. Fixed v. perpetual costs

2. Negative externalities from pollution

Even accounting for one of these (let alone both) puts renewables in pretty favorable light.

What you're describing is called "context collapse." Pre-social media you had face that you presented in different contexts, now you have one flattened out "you" feed.
Christ they’re obviously coached on more than just their stance. Watch the hand and arm motions. The manner in which those motions are coordinated with the dialog. It’s all one choreographed dance. Those paying close attention will even notice the similarities between speakers. I recall Craig F. doing the same fingers-meet-fingers posture as the MBP lady from todays presentation.
I understand the rationale behind not investing in your own company stock, but do we really treat our jobs as an “investment” in the same sense? To me it just makes sense that if you believe in the business you work for and have visibility into what is happening you might be in a better position to make a sound decision on this vs. an outsider? I’ve always held my company stock to all in levels.
Will four data points work?

N=1, 2008. Russia invades/attacks Georgia[1]. US President: George W. Bush; US Vice President: Dick Cheney.

N=2, 2014. Russia annexes Crimea[2]. US President: Barack Obama; US Vice President: Joe Biden.

N=3, 2017-2021. No invasion of Ukraine. US President: Donald Trump; US Vice President: Mike Pence.

N=4, 2022. Russia invades Ukraine[3]. US President: Joe Biden; US Vice President: Kamala Harris.

Since Russia/Putin has attacked its western neighbors during three of the last four US president's terms, it appears Trump constrained Putin's expansionism, regardless of whether we liked Trump's manner of diplomacy or not. And Biden was in office during the annexation of Crimea, so he can be the "control group" for pre- and post-Trump policies toward Russia.

DeepTomCruise on TikTok is probably the best I’ve seen at creating consistently good, believable deepfakes. But it’s largely because the actor is good at imitating Tom Cruise. The video fakery varies from mediocre to excellent, but it’s the voice and mannerisms that really sell it.

Apple pushes promotions of their services into my face all the time. Apple Music, Apple Arcade, Apple Whatever. I hate it. At least with Windows I can disable it once and forget about it.
It turns out that efficiency isn't the be-all and end-all of all of society! The objective is not necessarily to maximize efficiency/production/have costs be as low as possible for every product under the sun!

And of course there are duals to price controls such as production subsidies that can smooth things out. And policies that can otherwise influence things. Money is fungible, after all! And thanks to taxation as a general concept, the universe of people paying for all of this is not necessarily the universe of people buying it, so it's not necessarily "the consumers pay in one way or the other".
In the comment you're replying to I did not propose skipping the DOM, I proposed rendering the DOM via WebGPU. As an implementation detail of the browser, not as something websites should do themselves.

Um, Apple is far from the only vendor of high res displays. And not all OLEDs are PenTile. The trend in all displays is to higher resolution where subpixel AA is unnecessary complexity, and especially on mobile which is more important than desktop these days and where nobody ever does subpixel AA, even on relatively low resolution displays that could support it.
>Apple is one of the world's biggest proliferators of e-waste through indirect means.

This seems like a very disingenous way of saying that Apple is one of the largest companies on the planet and sells hundreds of millions of devices a year.

Given that Apple regularly supports devices almost a decade old with firmware updates, has one of the most aggressive environmental agendas in the industry, and has invested billions of dollars in recycling programs, I would hazard a guess and say that on an adjusted basis they probably compare very favourably to competitors like Samsung and other OEMs.

>USB-A is the de-facto standard for thumb drives. Are we all just supposed to throw them away overnight because Apple blessed us with computers without USB-A ports?

You're upset about having to reach seven inches further to plug in a USB drive. If that's enough to cause you to throw all of your thumb drives away then I'd say that reflects more on you than on Apple.

>Or, they'll sell you a dongle for $19 which can be had on Aliexpress for $0.75.

There's a considerable engineering (and therefore cost) difference between a dongle that carries all the required electrical certifications, and a 75c Chinese firestarter that stands as much chance of damaging your computer as enhancing it, but that's moot anyway since nobody is forcing you to buy the Apple-made adapter in the first place.

>Would it have killed them to throw an extra USB-A 3.x port on the nearly empty front panel?

Given the form factor, quite possibly. It isn't as simple as just cutting out a slot and sticking a connector in, you need to route that connecter internally and find space on the logic board for the supporting circuitry, which has all sorts of difficult implications for the board layout.

And for what? How many thumb drives do you think the average person needs to plug in at any given moment? Why do you assume that your extremely narrow use-case is so important that it must be given the highest possible priority for Apple's engineers to meet?

The overwhelmingly vast majority of consumers, even pro consumers, will do just fine plugging their thumb drives into the back of the very small box sitting in front of them, or plugging in a USB hub to one of the USB-C ports on the front. Why add complexity and cost to solve a non-problem for a tiny subset of users who, if they're anything like you, were never going to buy an Apple product irrespective of what ports it has on the front?
War Is Calling Crypto’s ‘Neutrality’ into Question
For people with big clunky PC boxes, they stick it under a desk or on the floor because that's where it fits and it's out of sight.

Because of the "sleek" design and smaller size, Apple has people convinced that the computer should be like children in the '50s--seen but not heard.

If you offer someone a computer in the shape of the mac mini or this new studio design OR they could have a typical PC style box, I'm guessing the majority of people will choose the smaller box. Even if there are no Apple logos on the smaller box. Nobody wants a 30+lb box any more. As an editor, you can take this bad boy on the road with you without incurring overweight luggage fees at the airport.

Thanks.

Most of what you suggest doesn't benefit from having significant mining capacity yourself. (Though one thing does.)
I think this is insightful thanks. We did this recently, and combined with the OP article, I'm really reminded of how fundamental and ubiquitous queues are. They aren't always obvious, or even intentional. I generally don't set out to design a queue. It just sort of happens while I solve a problem.

So yes, adding an MQ specifically just embeds another queue in your original queue. If your scaling problem is an unbounded, maybe unintentional queue, then the MQ can provide just the throttling you need to keep from overloading your consumer end.

Yep, the system just got more complicated, but now it's also more manageable, because we hacked a governor into our unregulated queue.

As discussed elsewhere, you still have to deal with the back-pressure on the producers' side.
- To lock up at night (locks all the doors and closes the garage door if I left it open)

- To adjust lighting throughout the house, and to shut off all the lights across the entire house when we go to sleep

- To turn on the oven or air fryer, so it's preheated when we need it... can even be done from the car on the way home

- To turn off the oven when you have that thought "did I forget to turn off the oven?" 30 seconds after driving away from the house

- To adjust the thermostat without walking upstairs to adjust the physical thermostat

- To get an announcement when the clothes washer is done so I don't forget to move the clothes to the dryer

- To send a quick voice message to my wife somewhere else in the house using the "make an announcement" command

- To adjust the volume on the TV when I don't have the remote nearby

- To start pre-heating or pre-cooling my electric car in the driveway while I'm still getting dressed

- To reorder common household things like pet food or toilet paper, and it shows up at the door the next day

- To check the weather before leaving the house, to decide if I need a jacket or not
I'd make that "sometimes" stronger -- if you're not failing often, you're not trying enough things! That goes also for process change.

Processes should be invented by the people who use them, and they should continuously evaluate their appropriateness and suggest adding, removing, reordering, or changing steps based on their day-to-day experience. These suggestions should run in limited trials and then either reverted or made permanent.

In the ideal case, you run a new experiment every week (or if the process is used more rarely, perhaps every quarter.)

----

Also note the critical distinction: it should not be "the organisation" that creates processes and seeks feedback on them. It should be the people the process applies to who creates it and they will naturally get feedback as part of their job executing on it.

Think of it not as "regulation" (an authoritative body demands something) but more as "standardisation" (the involved people come together to agree on the best way to do something, based on their collective experience.)

I've often seen that line that sanctions does not work. It is like saying that quarantine does not cure the disease. Sure. However, it definitely diminishes the ability of the issue to spread and makes sure that some really nasty people don't enjoy all benefits of being evil and being accepted in the wider world at the same time.

To be clear, sanctions are not related to justus or proportionality and they are definitely not served to anyone who deserves them, but they are better than nothing and much better than war.
I do the same with Scandavian music like Wadruna and then whatever youtube throws at me. No idea what they are saying but it's a nice melodic music that doesn't distract me and no worries about the song getting stuck in my head.
The Food War
If I developed a new browser today, my baseline graphics abstraction would be CPU-side pixel buffers manipulated by compiled (WASM/native) code. CPU rendering works equally well on past, present, and future CPUs, works with working and buggy and missing GPU drivers, works on every computer made in the last few decades, will never be obsoleted like Glide and DX7-9 and OpenGL, and is plenty fast enough outside of 4K or 144FPS rendering.
I can definitely see where that could cause some issues.

Personally, I don't like the /**/ style comments either. I was just playing devil's advocate.

I have an original iPhone SE and it's the best phone I've ever had. But it does have only 16GB and I have to suffer with offloading apps. Still, I was delighted last September when the SE made the cut for iOS 15. I'll probably replace it with a iPhone 12 mini sometime over the next few months. It's been a long run.

Free markets _do_ presuppose supply being available if given enough money! Free markets assume atomic actors, instant feedback loops, and nothing like a supply ceiling.

The Texas blackout had a supply ceiling, but no price ceiling (and low elasticity in choice from the consumers, because people didn't want to freeze). It's a far cry from a free market during that week.

Two things. First, these charts are for energy generation, measured in billions of kWh. That is very different from the problem for electric vehicles, which is power generation and delivery.

Since I can't know if readers understand the difference (you might, others may not), here's a simple example:

You have to lift 1000 kg of metal to the top of a massive 1000 meter tall skyscraper being built. It's a thousand 1 kg pieces. Let's say it takes 10 minutes to walk up to the top.

You can do this at least two ways:

One person moves each 1 kg piece up to the top, one at a time. That will require 1000 times 600 seconds, or 600,000 seconds. That's roughly seven days.

The other way is to do it all at once. We get a thousand people, each one of them grabs a 1 kg piece and, ten minutes later the entire load is at the top of the building.

Anyone can understand that these problems require vastly different scenarios.

Energy is about the total amount of work done. In this case it is the same for both scenarios.

Power, on the other hand, is a measure of how quickly this work was done. In this hypothetical, the fast delivery scenario required a thousand times more power than the slower version.

Electric cars require power. Energy is delivered over time. The problem with our grid and power generation is that it simply cannot handle this beyond a very small deployment. People driving electric cars today are enjoying the fact that they do not pose a significant threat to the existing infrastructure and generation capacity. As the numbers increase we will start having problems.

The idea of having a million or ten million cars simultaneously fast-charging today is likely an unthinkable reality.

Put a different way (just pulling hypothetical numbers out of my behind, these are not real numbers):

If we could charge electric cars over, say, 30 days, we might not need even one bit of additional power generation capacity or changes to the infrastructure. Sure, nobody would be able to drive more than once a month, but, hey, we don't need to build nuclear power plants.

However, that is not a practical reality. Tens of millions of cars will need to quick charge in 20, 40, 60 minutes. And another set of millions of cars will want to be charged over, say, 8 hours, overnight. This requires the ability to deliver power --large amounts of it-- in a way we are not prepared to do. This is both true in terms of power generation capacity as well as infrastructure, from the cables all the way to the power plants.

What the page you linked shows is an increase in energy consumption. It says nothing about power. Also, the increase you point out is only 60%, not a doubling from 1980 to 2020. Still, this is somewhat meaningless. I can consume 60% more energy if I keep the lights on 12.8 hours per day, instead of 8. I would not demand 60% more power out of the grid, I would just use the available power for a longer period of time. That's why speaking in terms of energy isn't relevant to the electric car problem. The problem is power, not energy. People need their cars charged now, right now. That requires power we cannot deliver.

“Alexa, set lights to 40%”

“Alexa, set an egg timer for 12 minutes”

“Alexa, set an alarm for 6:45am”

“Alexa, play Stories Podcast on Spotify”

These or variations of these are the most used commands at my house. Passive assistants can’t really figure out that I or my kids want to play a specific podcast or when to set a timer when cooking. Lighting is another tricky one. Sometimes I’m reading and want bright lights. Sometimes I want scenic lights. Sometimes I want very low lights while falling asleep.

I suspect most people don’t use their smart assistants for shopping. I do occasionally ask it a random question like “what year was Einstein born” when I don’t feel like whipping out my phone or play an occasional round of 20 questions with my kids. But that’s rare compared to the typical usage.
