There are many, many assumptions to such calculations. Here's PG&E's best guess at g CO2 / kWh based on time of day/year in California (page 2):

https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/sites/default/files/classic/fuels/lcf...

If you only charge from noon to two in Q1, then use have zero marginal emissions per mile driven (this is the best case). If you only charge from 7-8pm you emit 142.06 gCO2e/MJ.

1 megajoule = 0.2777777778 kilowatt-hour

Converting gives us ~512 g CO2e per kWh.

Car efficiency is measured in miles per kWh. 4 miles per kWh is doable (some cars are better, some worse). So, that's 128g CO2e per mile.

50 miles per gallon would be great. A gallon of gas emits 20 lbs CO2, or 0.4lbs per mile, which is 181 grams per mile.

So, if you only charge at the worst possible time in California (basically forcing PG&E to use natural gas plants to charge your car), then a 50 mpg car is still 50% worse than a slightly larger EV.

In practice, you charge during off peak hours. At night, emissions are about half worst case. During the day, they're 10% of worst case.
Wow! That is huge.
But there are far more consumers than there are sellers. Any system that is tilted in the seller's favor as opposed to the consumer is naturally going to have a hard time becoming the standard. This is at least in part why PayPal has been so enormously successful. It puts the customer's mind at ease.

The way I see it, people with money want to drive crypto adoption because it will tip the balance of power further in their favor. A fully unregulated currency and transaction system can be much more easily controlled by the people with the most capital without having to let that pesky democratic process getting in the way by letting the poors have a say.
Feels like we argue this here every week. It’s a dumb article and he could start by reading any of the previous posts around here but that would take effort.
megacorp; laptops have much enterprise security & surveillance bloatware installed. whirrr, such cpu fan, very compliance. by default no one has local admin rights for their work laptop. developers are approved local admin rights upon request.

once blessed with local admin rights, developers manually invoke a utility to grant themselves temporary admin permission for a limited time period each time they wish to sudo. this sounds worse than it is in practice, provided one doesn't need to sudo continually.
In the same vein as my sibling comment, the average is an average because not everyone drives a prius; tons of the US are dominated by trucks and SUVs. A more informed metric would be comparing EV vs ICE in cities based on those cities' percentage of electricity generation and average MPG based on the car population.

But notice that the commons clause and server side public license don't even show up on that list. There might some disagreement around where to draw the line but there is some general consensus that there is a difference between "open source" and "source available". And yet I've seen a few companies that market their product as "open source" just because their source code is on GitHub, even though the license is just as restrictive as any proprietary license.

And before that, there was the highly picaresque story of Abu Abbas, the mastermind of the Achille Lauro hijacking (and ensuing murder of American Jewish tourist Leon Klinghoffer). There are so many twists and turns in this story, involving diplomatic crises between the US, Italy, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and various Palestinian groups that it beggars belief.

When it comes to batteries, I can't imagine safety not being a major design consideration. EV fires are maybe exaggerated a bit in the media because of the novelty whereas ICE vehicle fires aren't as newsworthy, but they're still a thing that can happen and could potentially be very destructive and hazardous especially on something with a huge battery pack like a bus. Using a kind of battery that tends not to burst into flames if ill-treated seems like a good idea.

It's probably better to swap the command and option keys via the swap_opt_cmd=1 parameter on the hid-apple kernel module that way they are globally swapped, not just in sway. fnmode=2 is another useful one which sets f1-f10 to be function keys by default so e.g. pressing f10 sends f10, not mute because you forgot to press fn+f10.

> All the ports are on separate boards too. This might be the most repairable mac in a while.

This is sort of like saying "Great - the doors on my car can be replaced!" Obviously they can, but am I ever likely to need to do this? Probably not.

I've never once had to replace a USB or HDMI port on my desktop computer. I have routinely had to replace CPU, GPU and memory, none of which are serviceable on this machine. The computer's I/O ports being on separate proprietary daughter boards is not really a consolation, I'm certainly not celebrating this machine as a victory for reparability - the SSD is effectively the only user-serviceable component.
Non-American law student here - can any US lawyers explain how this would work in practice? Are you telling me that a small business could actually be sued in the US for not having a website accessible by, for example, a blind person? How is this not considered prohibitively expensive and an unreasonable burden?
Aside from what my sibling comment said about a fantasy world, why'd you pick Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and The Dragon Prince? Surely shows like Abbott Elementary and Euphoria would be more culturally relevant? Or recent animated movies Encanto and Turning Red?

And even as far as the Dragon Prince is concerned, it's interesting how you mention it as overrepresentation when much of the diversity is relegated to secondary characters. Callum, Rayla, Claudia, Soren and Viren are all white (elves are in some ways minority coded, but the British accent makes that remain firmly in the realm of coding), and seem to be straight and cisgender.

I personally love stories with "overrepresentation" - and not only just to make up for a massive history of erasure and underrepresentation. It makes me so happy to hear people saying "I usually don't feel seen, but THIS character, they look/sound/act like me!" Honestly, as a gay man I still don't feel especially seen - and as far as gay characters I feel connected to beyond just that, it's pretty limited. I can think of maybe... 4 main characters? And they're all in the past few years.
I think there are plenty of jobs that would be overlooked or mistrusted (by bad managers) if people can't see you physically sitting there 40 hours every week and some might even be questioned then.

When I was doing IT Support for employees of this one company I certainly got questioned why they pay me and what I do all day when everything worked. They would certainly notice very quickly when I wasn't doing it and they did notice quickly that things where not working anymore when I left and wasn't keeping these things running anymore. This was when I was going into the office every day and I think this would be even worse if I was doing this from Home.

No one had a clue about what I do all day. The same way that I have no clue who does payroll at my current employer or what they do all day, but I would very quickly notice if they decided to slack off.

The problem is that there wasn't really any way to track my performance or any way for me to show that I did actually work. The systems for that just where not there. So the only way my manager evaluated me was by me clocking in and clocking out every day at the front desk.
Indian Justice System is largely seen as fair, but it is tooooooooooooooooooooo slow.

Cases take years to be concluded. Sometimes, even decades. The backlog is huge and the relatively very low cost of suing creates a lot of civil suits. In the US, losing a case means paying the costs of the winning side usually - In India the costs are calculated at a ridiculously low rate, that does not deter frivolous cases at all.

Also, the Indian Govt is known for its over zealous taxation of foreign entities - termed tax terrorism. Hardly a tax haven.

> First, the ADA requires all places of public accommodation, including retail businesses, to
remove barriers to access whenever it is readily achievable to do so..

> "Readily achievable" means easily accomplishable, and able to be done without much difficulty or expense. This is an ongoing obligation, and is required even if you are not performing any renovations.

> In addition, if you are altering or renovating an existing building, the ADA also requires you to make the altered areas readily accessible to and usable by people with disabilities. The ADA also requires you provide an accessible route from the building entrance to the altered areas, so long as doing so does not result in disproportionate costs.

> "Disproportionate costs" are defined as those costs exceeding 20% of the overall cost of the alterations. For example, if you are spending $50,000 on alterations, under the ADA you may have to spend up to an additional S10,000 providing an accessible route.

How global currencies work past, present, and future by Eichengreen has a good history of currencies (from a European perspective). There were a few times when there were multiple currencies being used, and the ones used were the ones related to the countries who had the largest trade networks / 'colonies'. Of course credit was used a lot as well over long distances so folks didn't have to lug things around (Debt: the first 5,000 years by Graeber). Various cities vied between each other for the most transactions and business; Capitals of capital by Cassis has a modern era history.

Before that, gold and silver were often used as lowest common denominators internationally. See The power of gold: the history of an obsession by Bernstein for that. However metals weren't used everywhere: e.g., China used paper currencies for many years, and giant rocks where used in Micronesia:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rai_stones

Money: the true story of a made-up thing by Goldstein has a good pop-history overview.

Power often didn't come into play for currency choice, and neither did things "implode" as opposed to a gradual shifting in preference amongst currency users.
Buybacks are optimal when your share price is undervalued or when the Business has plateaued, which is commonly done for value stocks. In which case Buybacks becomes the best way to return value to share holders by purchasing under valued shares of themselves, trading their excess capital to reduce the supply of company shares that also improves dividend yield given its paid out to fewer outstanding shares.

It's the optimal way to return value to share holders when your share price is undervalued and you have excess capital. If the company ever needs to raise funds for a strategic M&A investment in the future they're always able to resell their shares again.

Some companies are content with maintaining a healthy business and not go after growth at all costs, which is a totally fine operating strategy.

My father snored loudly all my life and as he grew elderly (and sleep apnea awareness/treatments increased) it became glaringly obvious he suffered from sleep apnea and would literally choke himself awake repeatedly throughout the night. Of course he had a tendency to fall asleep watching tv for lack of any restful sleep overnight.

I think it goes without saying there was a psychological effect, it's too complicated with many factors I don't even attempt to link specific effects. But I'm confident the sleep situation wasn't doing him (and his family) any favors.
It is easy to make a basic web form, e-commerce site, or blog post accessible. But the web is largely becoming a space for arbitrarily-complex, fully-interactive applications. Today's web is full of products with:

- complex information architecture, with nuanced relationships between nodes communicated by position, spacing, boundaries and other visual cues

- real-time data updates that transform the document in arbitrarily complex ways

- screens where nearly every square inch is actionable, and these actions transform the document in arbitrarily complex ways

- controls that are not simply a button or text link, but regions full of structured content embedded within them.

- screens that respond to inputs in real-time in arbitrary complex ways

- rich graphics that eschew the traditional document model, with its established accessibility guidelines, altogether

To make such an application accessible requires:

1.) auditing all the visual cues, writing supplementary text if necessary, and adding the ARIA properties to communicate these cues

2.) communicating all document transformation to the user, either by navigating focus to the new content, or communicated to the user some other way. In the case of real-time updates, this also can't obstruct the normal usage of the site.

This is certainly possible at a small scale, but very hard to do consistently by an organization if engineers and designers on each product team don't have a solid understanding of how screen-readers work or the ARIA spec. It is also hard to have any quality control on this without having someone actually test every product on a screen reader.

Unfortunately, few engineers (and even fewer designers) have this expertise. Many years ago, I did a 12-week, 70-hour-a-week web development bootcamp, and, of those 800+ hours, exactly 0 hours and 0 minutes were spent on web accessibility. To be honest, I doubt the instructors even knew anything on the subject.

Sure, it would be easier to build an accessibility web by just simplifying product requirements. But I have had little-to-no success doing this as an IC engineer.

That setup sounds realistic, and I think the general idea is for the company (and other employees) to give employees what they want and recognize how they want to work. If someone prefers working at the office, it would be terrible to force them to WFH. However, it would also be unreasonable to force other people who enjoy working remotely to come to the office with them.

Regarding productivity, if someone does their best work at the office communicating with other people but prefers working at home, wouldn't they fall behind their colleagues when they opt for a WFH setup? And if they're still happy in that case, who are we to say they have to change the way they work? So let people realize that the decide for themselves instead of doing the reasoning and making decisions for them that they may not agree with.

Regarding social interaction, getting surrounded by other people at times is nice, since we're inherently social animals, but why would we utilize work to fill in that need? Getting isolated for an extended period of time would drive me insane, but getting surrounded by other people, who I may not be comfortable with, would also do the same to my mental health.

As for my case, I have found that people can disregard the practices we have developed in the WFH era since they can "communicate faster" now and that has been giving me lots of headaches lately. So when people say they are more efficient at the office, I automatically associate that with the tendency to ignore clear, coherent documents because people think they are "cumbersome".
There's no guarantee it would be invented in that instead of a new jetski.

It's not about who's worse, it's about what we can afford to do.

As Dan Carlin said, what's terrible about authoritarian countries is that fighting them forces you to act like them. If we set ourselves boundaries only we follow, we're doomed to lose.

Following the regular process just gives an advantage to the enemy because he knows he can just put all his foreign assets in the hands of private oligarchs and we'll have our hands tied behind our backs by our own noble principles.

If we don't act bluntly (like confiscating oligarch wealth) we have no leverage at all.

We _can_ afford to give rapists proper due process because society still functions afterwards. But look at what happened during the height of Mafia power. Both Italy and the US had to change the regular due process (RICO, Maxi Trial) because it cannot work when individuals are conspiring behind the scene.

And Russia functions as a giant mafia state.
