They pretty much do by buying credits from Tesla, which then (even on this site) a hoard of astroturfers use to say "Tesla is only profitable because it is subsidized by the government!!!". Sigh.

Per your comment, those credits are functioning exactly as designed, although I'd like to see them expanded.

Actually, I'd like a $10000 rebate (NOT tax credit) on EVs that drops $500-$1000/year. That would encourage adoption and companies to get their models on the road.

I would like the same for a 100 mile range PHEV, which would probably be a better use of the battery manufacturing capacity, and easier for more companies to get on the road.

EVs we have now are a good start, but I think the first big step is a LFP-chemistry 100 mile range PHEV with a compact range extension motor (like that "inside out rotary" patent or a small atkinson-cycle generator, or whatever Mazda comes up since they're going to take a swing at a wankel range extender).

Then when solid state, Li-S or whatever hits the market, we switch to those.
Having more strength is not always an evolutionary benefit, for men or women. If it were we would all have the hormone levels of a professional body builder. Having more upper body strength and being generally bigger costs calories and there is an evolutionary incentive to be physically smaller (to a point). Also building strength is an adaption to stressors, by exercising the muscles. If it is the males who do the majority of the hunter/gathering then they will be getting more exercise and consequently growing stronger. It's not possible to consider male and female evolutionary pressures separately. If males have adaptive pressures to grow stronger and evolve stronger, then females would have some of the opposite pressures.
¡Sí, que cabrón!
It doesn't deal too well with all the movement; it works sometimes but not reliably. I don't know if it is only the rolling or also the lateral swinging around the anchor that throws it off.

In perfectly flat seas it might work fine, but you don't often find yourself in those conditions.
I kinda disagree - I think the compositor's job is to composite framebuffers of multiple apps together, basically blitting and alpha-blending textures.
Imagine if it needed to decorations as well, how much info and dependencies would the pull in - it would need to be aware of the system themes and styles, have some library to draw them, which would be less efficient, since it would need another separate drawing context just for drawing the headers.
Why should you care ? Because maybe your data (with mistakes in it, too) will be used to make decisions about things you want (jobs, insurance), without you even knowing why you got denied. Because often that collected data gets exposed in a breach, and then scammers or thieves can use it for their purposes. Because letting your data get collected exposes the activities of your friends and family too, without their consent. Because if the safe majority of us allow the collecting to continue, the data of the threatened minorities also gets collected, and may be used against them in ways we don't like or expect.

The battle for privacy is not lost. It's not one battle; it's a long-running social policy issue, and it's an arms-race. We get new laws such as GDPR and USA's COPPA and California's CPPA. We get new technical tools, or changes such as Apple killing the advertiser ID in their phones.

Lots of your past data has been collected. But you're creating new private data every day: your location, activities, etc. Try to protect that data better. And you can reach back and try to obfuscate old data that's out there, by overwhelming it with new data. Or make it irrelevant, by changing phone number, email address, physical living location, etc. The fight is not over, or hopeless.

What's the upside ? Well, shouldn't it be your right to control your public image and your data ? If you freely choose to expose all your data, fine. But it should be YOUR choice. The upside is more control over your life. Less exposure to thieves and scammers. Less risk for people who are unpopular minorities.

I don't know what portion of US drivers park either on the street or in a parking garage, but I'm pretty sure it''s tens of millions of people. Driveways pretty much don't exist in my neighborhood. It's all parking garages and street parking.

Lining every parking garage and neighborhood street with dozens of chargers may be the optimal solution, but I'm skeptical.
>Interchangeable lens should come with chromatic abberation/distortion profiles on a chip that communicates with the camera so we can buy cheaper and lighter lenses with fewer elements.

Pretty much this, and this is what some people already do with pancake lenses, correcting the result in post. However there's a problem with this: for the universal vendor-supplied profiles to work well, the lens must still be made within pretty tight tolerances, so the cost reduction is limited. And proper manual calibration is really expensive and tedious, which defeats the point.

I don't know if there's a niche, but I'd love to see some startup doing the full-fledged lens and body calibration (STF/OTF and stuff) on demand to make high quality custom tailored profiles. That way you can use really cheap and compact lenses to get the same result; software correction can do wonders nowadays.

I have to wonder how lucky the Amazon card is: is the manufacturer consistent, or is it just a rebrand of whoever has made them a deal this quarter? Or several rebrands?
What is "correct tooling"? I haven't found anything that's remotely close to providing a nice stack trace, for example. How "micro" are your services? Can it manage to stand up a local dev environment? How do you deal with service interface versioning? Is this great tooling vendor tied?

Not a subscriber so can’t read, but when I see Caesar hit the front page, I upvote.

I think we can’t stress the story of Caesar enough in our era of demagoguery. A look into Rome at the time paints a picture of Caesar, like a lot of populists we’ve seen since 2015, wasn’t actually wrong about a lot of his complaints. The senate was a corrupt, spoiled, bunch who only cared so much for the Republican because it provided them a ton of power within a very powerful polity; and it was there’s the way a child thinks his parents back yard is theirs.

They believed themselves entitled to enrichment on the backs of plebs and to top that off it was still a very real political idea (and movement) that Rome allowing the peasants both political power bringing them into the legions was a grave mistake that desperately needed undone (similar, but to a much greater extent, than the ultraconservatives who think giving the vote to women and African Americans is a grave mistake.)

So it was easy for Caesar to point at these senators and say all of these things, because they were true. It’s analogous to the way someone like Trump or Bernie Sanders used sound byte rhetoric to play up peoples emotions. The promises they made (whether or not they believe in them is irrelevant) are second to emotions running high.

That Caesar may not have cared about the plebs is irrelevant, indeed it could have all been a personal vendetta dating back to the prescriptions imposed on him and his mother after Sulla took power.

Sorry for this rant, I’ve spent the last few years thinking about this and how to better tell the story in a way that fits nicely with current times and trends. I believe when the story of Caesar is told it usually plays up the tragedy of Brutus or Caesar, both of whom were what were consider tyrants today, when there’s a very real political message that is very important we understand today.
we call that “fuck it, ship it”
The only way to reduce complexity in a long running project is:

- diligence to propoerly research the domain and provide defined solution(s)

- leadership with courage to make the right choice that may have risk

- comittment from stakeholders to fund the scope of the initiative

- the team's grit to see projects through to the end (and not leave things half-refactored)

If any of the above breaks down, you get the problem of half-baked solutions that only end up making things worse by adding additional complexity.
I started that testing around a week ago! Will hopefully have enough data for a post in the coming weeks but it's a bit easier to test for speed first and before you kill cards :D
There are a lot of problems in the world and the US right now, and these shmucks are busy worrying about online piracy?
Too much overhead and DC fast charger networks are already approaching parity with the speed you could make that work. Trailers add another set of wheels to the ground, too, which is a failure point. Might as well just put it on the roof or something instead.
I use LineageOS exclusively to protect myself from such shenanigans. I hope it does at least, I don't know if they patched this shit out.

Every single person who's ever put batteries in the back of some consumer electronics device immediately thinks, "Why don't they just make it so you can swap batteries in EVs?" I was definitely no different.

I now own a few eBikes including a DIY conversion, a Sur Ron dirt bike and an Onyx emoto. The batteries are just so insanely compact and heavy, it's surreal. The Onyx has a removable 72v/48ah extended range battery which weighs 37lbs (17kg) [1], similar to the weight of the swappable batteries in the article. Let me tell you, that may not seem like a lot of weight, but it really is and it's *just so dense!* It's the equivalent of over 4 gallons of milk contained in two shoe boxes.

Seriously, every time I have to move - or should I say "manhandle" - the batteries in any of the bikes, I audibly groan and make sure to lift with my legs. The batteries are all different shapes, sizes and in various boxes and all shockingly heavy for their size. The sharp edges of the Onyx battery box is a true hazard as its momentum will give your thigh a nice bruise should you swing it, or your car a nice dent.

Anyways, I'm sharing all this to say: Batteries are heavy af. Really. As good as a solution this is for scooters, don't expect it to go much more beyond that. There won't be swappable batteries on your big Zero or Livewire any time soon.

The opt-in should technically take more time, since you shouldn't be sending PII data before the consent.

In the case of opt-out the only single thing that has to happen is setting a local cookie and closing the modal window, which are things that also happen when you accept.

Having to comply with a legal requirement is very real world. Practically the opposite of the ivory tower.
I agree. I think organizational scalability is an important benefit of microservices that doesn't always come up in these discussions. Having smaller, more focused services (and repositories) allows your organization to scale up to dozens or hundreds of developers in a way that just wouldn't be practical with a monolithic application, at least in my experience (I'm sure there are exceptions).
This article is far better written that most mainstream news articles on any topic. It provides detailed and balanced coverage of both sides of this issue. Wasn't expecting that from a site called TorrentFreak.
But Infiniband didn't do that.
I'm not sure what the earlier Chiron units used for a CPU (I think I read somewhere that the Chiron II used the DataMate-70 minicomputer), but I'm pretty sure that Chyron's iNFiNiT! series used 68k CPUs (possibly a 68060 in the higher end units?).

I think I've said this on HN before, but professional character generators are woefully underdocumented. In a lot of ways, they were at the pinnacle of computing power (generating quality NTSC imagery is much more easier said than done). I'd love to see something like an emulated Datavision D-3000 one day. Modern computers can push around video well enough that such things could actually be shoehorned into a modern workflow (make the emulator into an NLE plugin that is scriptable and you'd be much of the way there).

What I would like to have is a context switch latency comparable to a function call. For example, if in a microkernel system bus driver, network card driver, firewall, TCP stack, socket service are all separate userspace processes, then every time a packet arrives there would be a context-switching festival.

As I understand, in microkernel OSes most system calls are simply IPCs - for example, network card driver passes incoming packet to the firewall. So there is almost no kernel work except for context switch. That's why it has to be as fast as possible and resemble a normal function call, maybe even without invoking the kernel at all. Maybe something like Intel's call gate, but fast.

> they aren't compatible with anything that calls fork().

I wouldn't miss it; for example, Windows works fine without it.
The CPU and GPU aren't really relevant in a DSLR. What does matter, though, is the efficiency of the sensor and the quality of the lenses. If I'm shooting a DSLR I'm also going to be editing the RAW data on a much, much more powerful device than a cell phone.
You're wrong. The ePrivacy Directive does require that a website get consent before storing information on the end-user's device. Prior to GDPR, the local country implementations of the ePD allowed for implicit consent in some EU countries, and opt-out consent in other EU countries. GDPR redefined what constitutes legitimate consent to process personal data. Consent that was previously valid under the ePD was no longer valid under GDPR, which is why GDPR is about cookies, and every other processing of personal data.
I don't think there'd be much actual time savings. Every time I get off the highway to get gas (which means slowing down to exit, stopping at the bottom on the exit ramp, driving to the gas station, pumping gas, getting back on the highway, etc), it ends up being close to a 15 minute stop. I'd be surprised if you can pull off, hook up a battery trailer (and pay for it), then get back on the highway in a few minutes.

Might as well just stop in for a 20 minute charge at a DC fast charger, many cars can do an 80% charge in 20 minutes.
Its comforting to know the loudest critics refuse to face facts. That is actually how I predicted the run up to the last bull market - when the critics resorted to old or ignorant arguments. Have you heard of Chesterton's Fence?
The Book of Changes (also known as the I Ching or Yi Jing, depending on your favorite Romanization). Explaining what it is would be too lengthy here; it is better to start with a précis like the Wikipedia article, and then (I would say) to the introduction to the Wilhelm-Baynes translation by C.G. Jung. One can actually employ the divination rituals, which often yield "answers" which are often strangely relevant and sometimes shocking. I came to the Book of Changes via another book, _Psyche and Symbol_, by Jung, which I found very difficult. At the time I was 17 or 18 (so, late 1950s) and "we" were all going through an End-of-History moment when all relevant, important facts were supposed to be known and everyone was supposed to be well-balanced and rational. (This is so remote from contemporary cultures that I guess you had to be there to understand it.) It was "the old folks' home in the college" as the prophet Zimmerman put it, dry and asphyxiating. I wanted to break out of that. Jung's preface to the Book of Changes was included in _Psyche and Symbol_ and instead of being confused with his rather dense mythographies elsewhere, the part about the Book of Changes was very clear and included a description of the material practice. So I ordered the book (actually, in those days, two volumes from the Bollingen Foundation and far from a mass-media or hip item) and started using it immediately. Its style was not at all like the Bible, the Qur'an, or most of the other spiritual works of fame; I suppose some of it resembles the Daode Jing (Tao Te Ching) but since one works actively with it -- it requires interpretation -- the experience of using it is unlike that of any other books I know. It certainly changed by life by changing the perspectives from which I looked upon things. I had sort of escaped into a wider and stranger world. (Curiously, I later became a computer programmer, using from time to time the binary arithmetic supposedly invented by Leibniz under the inspiration of the Book of Changes, although this may be in the area of legend.) There are quite a few editions of the book online, some of them bilingual in case you can read ancient Chinese or you like the décor; but an investigation of the characters and their etymology may also be relevant.
>the risk calculation is already two steps divorced from the actions we can actually take to avoid it.

This is wrong. Many of us are in a position to avoid getting covid with high probability, at the heavy cost of a complete sacrifice of an offline social life. Long covid heavily affects the expected QALY loss calculation, so it's of enormous material interest.

>it's not like any sane person chooses to get covid

I know lots of insane people then. They say things like "Omicron is mild so I decided it was a good time to get it" - by which they meant they would stop paying the cost to avoid it (and predictably contracted it immediately). They might have decided differently if it turns out that long covid is a) common and b) life-wrecking.
Wait, you are on the hook for theft?? Just while you are logged in, or for what period of time?

I don't like the idea of running my life within the confines of IP law of another country especially considering that IP law is wholly moulded by giant corporations like Disney and not based on anything that actually makes sense for the modern provider/consumer digital world.

And breaking a law I don't agree with definitely won't keep me up at night, in fact if they catch me and force me to pay for all the content I downloaded it will still end up being a more convenient experience as I am very willing to pay in the first place.
The NEV standard would be great if people followed speed limits. Unfortunately, the fact that it is 25 mph it does not mean people will drive anywhere close to that. But it is a good start.
Most of the world is not the US. And fast charging of ~1 hour or even 25 minutes is an inconvenience that would make people choose a non EV.

"The oral polio vaccine that's used primarily in low- and middle-income countries - it's been the workhorse of this global effort to eradicate polio. But it is a live vaccine. It's cheap. It's easy to administer.

"However, this live vaccine is continued to be used worldwide. And while you're doing that, some of that vaccine has gotten out into the world. And it's mutated. It starts circulating again, just like regular polio. But early on, it's just - it's still a vaccine. It's not dangerous. And then slowly, it sort of regains strength. And they're finding they can actually genetically see this - that scientists can actually trace it back directly to the vaccine. And now these vaccine-linked cases are actually causing more cases of paralysis each year than actual traditional - what scientists call wild polio."

According to "Ludicrous: The Unvarnished Story of Tesla Motors", it may not have been abandoned. Instead, the feature may have never been planned:

"In 2013, California revised its Zero Emissions Vehicle credit system so that long-range ZEVs that were able to charge 80% in under 15 minutes earned almost twice as many credits as those that didn’t. Overnight, Tesla’s 85 kWh Model S went from earning four credits per vehicle to seven. Moreover, to earn this dramatic increase in credits, Tesla needed to prove to CARB that such rapid refueling events were possible. By demonstrating battery swap on just one vehicle, Tesla nearly doubled the ZEV credits earned by its entire fleet even if none of them actually used the swap capability."
What strikes me is the entitlement of some Apple customers. Just because Apple put an extra SSD slot in, for unclear reasons, unadvertised and not listed anywhere as a feature, this entitles some customers to insist the ssd slot work the way they want it to work, while the peanut gallery non-Apple customers go nuts about it. How can Apple abuse their customers this way?! Oh, the humanity!
That makes no sense. How is the browser supposed to inform the user what they are consenting to? The point of the law is, among other things, that you need to have informed consent when you process personal information. That’s not a technical problem that you can solve with a new API. It requires organizations to work differently. Unfortunately it seems that very few orgs have been willing to put the necessary thought and care into this, instead they just slap these cargo cult consent dialogs across everything.
