Battery wear is a complex thing and it's not trivial to control or test.
You could easily trade in an excellent battery and receive one that had 50% rated capacity. If you plan to wear them out very quickly, not to need the full capacity, and pay well above actual cost for the convenience of swapping, then it could work.

Otherwise, you will be ripped off by the better informed charging station that hands out only their worst batteries, and sells the best trade-ins as new.
It manifests as extra detail hidden in the shadow or highlights, which is only exposed when you start messing with color curves or drag shadow or exposure controls way up.

I asked a very similar question in another comment thread recently and the answer I got was that camera's awareness of the scene isn't nearly good enough when it comes to adjusting its own sensitivity curves, and that our eyes and brain are much better at postprocessing the raw data then the camera is.

Right, and my point was that the system should charge you and I, as consumers, to also cover the safety net need for utilities.

I'd be happy to reiterate my point if it was unclear and you thought I was suggesting we run a voluntary social safety net.
Those aren't scooters, they're cars -- and they showed up before Panasonic/Tesla attacked the battery-cost problem with roughly 100x as much capital.

Wasn't that the case in Western countries as well 30 years ago? Basically, formerly communist countries are 20-30 years behind in the sociological development, even if they catch up economically in some aspects earlier (though those are closely intertwined, because they are still at "I can't reasonably provide for more than 1-2 children").
Because Tesla knows that the vast majority of people will never need it.

Most people use their cars for well under 100 miles per day. With a battery-electric car, you can charge it at home. You never go to a station for anything -- not fuel, not fast-charging, not battery swapping. You come home, plug in, and get on with your life.

People will make a few long trips per year, and those cases are well handled by the supercharger network. It doesn't take long, and corresponds to down-time that most drivers should be taking anyway.

There is nothing for them to gain by a massive redesign that would gain most users little to nothing. Instead, they take the stable battery pack and design around it, even making it a structural part of the vehicle to save weight.

Replaceable battery packs for cars solve a non-problem. People who would want them would do better purchasing a gasoline car, which are readily available and will remain so for quite some time.
I would have expected that by now Nikon/Canon/Fuji would employ hundreds of ML engineers. Does anybody know whether that's going to happen, eventually? Or are they going to sit on their laurels?
One of my favorites in East Asia, well-known to everyone in China and Korea

四面楚歌 = 사면초가

"Four sides, Chu songs"

Refers to the conclusion of a bitter campaign in the 3rd century BCE for dominion in China. The famed general Xiang Yu (項羽) heard the singing of enemy soldiers of the enemy state of Chu and instantly grasped that he was doomed.

The phrase, used with cheerful irony, is very useful in many contemporary situations!
> It was such an innovative API that it took the frontend world by storm.

Only the React community actually. It's the majority, but I wouldn't equate it with the whole frontend community.

I remember when they were introduced - it was during the brief moment(1 year) during which I worked in React.

My code-smell-o-meter indicated that this is going to cause problems in the long run.

Ultimately it did, since you can't just replace everything with hooks and call it a day, as that is likely to cause massive performance issues.
As I build out my infrastructure for Adama (my real-time SaaS for state machines), I'm leaning hard into a monolithic design. The key reason is to minimize cost and maximize performance.

For instance, comparing Adama to the services needed to build similar experiences offered by AWS has interesting results. Adama costs 97% less than AWS ( https://www.adama-platform.com/2022/03/18/progress-on-new-da... ), and a key thing is that the microservice approach is amenable to metering every interaction which scales linear to demand whilst a monolithic approaches condenses compute and memory.
You won’t take advantage of the GPU cores, but the M1 is also a fantastic chip for compiling code. The core count and memory bandwidth are delightful.
Unfortunately this is not it. The game changer will be when they start closing off large parts of cities to cars and limiting them to small, slow and safe golf cart/scooter/bike type vehicles. Everything else will fall into place very quickly afterwards.

We have the technology, we need the political will. These scooters are nice but few people will brave riding them in a busy American street, not to even mention a highway.
For many of us though, ignorance and fear are blocking factors.

A company used a postgres safe migration gem that blocked default values with a not null constraint that became safe 3 years earlier, but 1) nobody questioned with the tool version changes 2) once you learn a constraint it's hard to forget it.

With the add that you have to take time to upgrade the gem if you want to keep using it.
Sorry - yes, should be 5,800MW.

They produced 51Twh/365/24 = 5.8GW in avg delivery.

Nuclear generated it's power around the clock. I'm not sure solar is covering the evening peaks and the prices for electricity make going to things like heat pumps and electric dryers much more expensive than you'd expect in germany so the economic case for electrification in germany has started to run way way behind the case in other places that have kept nuclear in the mix.
Probably true, but we wanted it for driving directions via CarPlay and were in a bit of a rush. The car's built-in navigation (which we otherwise never use) ended up working fine, but the browser versions probably would have been my next attempt.
The important statement is also useful is you're creating something to slap on some other code you have no control over. Examples of this from my experience are:

- debug tools that hijack the pages style
- quickly testing styles on the browser while coding
- widgets that are injected into client's websites; client's websites can be a mess, and might contain important statements themselves...
- browser themes or custom styles

Sometimes it really doesn't matter that! Important is bad practice, if the alternative would be 5x more verbose and confusing. And honestly I don't care what the father of CSS thinks.
Interesting - I had never heard of Myricom. I have used Infiniband quite a bit in budget super high performance applications - the old hardware can sometimes be found quite cheaply compared to 40gig/100gig ethernet (or it was at least a few years ago). Much more fiddly to get working but the performance was impressive once it did.
This Finnish comedian trying to makes sense of the word "shit" illustrates this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXH3HDE9Czo
The batteri should go in a trailer. Swap the trailer.
The car itself could be smaller. Luggage could go on the trailer.
I can't speak to media piracy, but I previously did work with a large supplier of professional software. This is not stuff people often use for fun, and the software had free and easy-to-get student versions available. The software still saw 80+% piracy in many markets according to internal metrics. This is a big part of why companies are so enthusiastic about cloud everything - recurring revenue is nice, but unpirateable recurring revenue is even nicer.

That's not to defend this bill. It sounds like rubbish to me.
I think that's a confusing reference to the fact that InfiniBand initially was supposed to be also a replacement for system-internal buses (i.e. a PCI replacement), before PCIe took that place instead.
Exactly what I was curious to know, thanks for sharing!

There is no definitive answer for the etymology of OK - your declaration certainly isn’t a fact. And it wasn’t in the 1700’s.

I am actually more wondering why we do not see battery trailers. Imagine a two wheel, 500 lbs trailer that you pull for the next 30 miles between two 1 minute stops on the highway that recharges your cars battery within those 30 miles. I know there are prototypes, but something seems to stop it from becoming large scale. Inefficient? To much overhead? Can normal drivers not be trusted with a 500 lbs trailer? I would like to know...
The reason why "we" are doing this is because in a lot of cases, the tech is no longer used as a means to solve a business problem - instead, the tech is the end-game itself and complexity is a desired feature.

The market has been distorted by endless amounts of VC funding for very dubious ideas that would never be profitable to begin with, so now you have 2 solutions: you can spend a few hundred grand building a boring solution with a slim amount of engineers, realize it doesn't work and quit, or you can keep over-engineering indefinitely, keep raising more and more millions, enjoying the "startup founder" lifestyle while providing careers to unreasonable amounts of engineers with no end in sight because you're too busy over-engineering rather than "solving" the business problem, so the realization that the business isn’t viable never actually comes.

Which one do you pick? The market currently rewards the second option for all parties involved, so it's become the default choice. Worse, it’s been going on long enough that a lot of people in the industry consider this normal and don’t know any other way.

I've commented/ranted about this before, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30008257, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24926060 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30272588.
> The argument usually follows that state is evil, hence object-orientation must be avoided.

I've found that it's really, really difficult to design good UI, without state. The "solution" that many UI systems use, is leaving the state in the view, but that often results in a pretty degraded user experience. Sometimes, the state needs to live in the model, as it may interact with a whole gaggle of views, or apply sets of state.

So the "solution" there, is to tie the views together, or save the state in little "statelets," connected to views; resulting in an ... interesting ... design.

I've come to learn that "hard and fast" rules are a mistake.

It's been my experience, that I often need to approach a solution in a hybrid manner, and really appreciate new techniques and technologies.

But sometimes, we need to stick with the classics.

>What do you mean that "the obscene fees you see in the US simply aren't a problem here"?

Typically when people talk about the ridiculous cost of college in the US, they bring up these obscene $200k bills that can never be paid off. I agree that $40k isn't ridiculous, and small change compared to the opportunity cost of not working.
Politics aside I'm curious to hear unreal environmentalist (I consider myself a "real" one) how they imaging the world.

For instance "gas pollute, stop ICEs vehicles!" fun to hear, who can provide new e.v. to replace gazillions of cars in a snap and provide the needed infrastructure to recharge them... Again for gas: I live in a "class A" home, so I'm all electric but how can a classic home be heated without gas or oil or wood? 30+kW power from heat pumps? Oh, of course we can build new homes, who pay? How this can be done in dense cities made of multi-apartment buildings?

Long story short: in 50+ years we can probably rebuild actual society in a new one with different infrastructures etc, definitively not tomorrow. That's the point.

Yeah, I think it’s clear that you would have to buy the cars off the lot with no battery included.
Your “every place” doesn’t fall in the same bin as JLCPCB or PCBWay and similar outfits.

I’ve done tons of PCB prototypes at JLCPCB and all you’ll ever receive is blue box, a plastic bag with the PCBs and sometimes a keychain.

There’s never a test report.

That’s why it $2 for 5 PCB, shipped to you within 48 hours after placing the order.
Not at all IMO. Concluding that they all perform about the same is informative in and of itself.

I did real estates photography for a while.

Most real estate photographers use HDR, and the higher end uses off-camera flash (as did I). There’s no nefarious reason behind this - it’s because photos where you can actually see out the windows look better. It’s also more like what your eyes would see rather than a crazy blown out white rectangle. When the house is on a lake you want people to see what the view is like. It was the rooms where I didn’t do that where I was hiding something, like an air conditioning unit being all you could see or whatnot.

The stupidly wide lenses most use? Yeah, that‘s deceptive. I also think it looks bad I tried to ride the line on using the tightest lens I could while still showing the room.
This is another reason I use a password manager. I will rarely ever manually type or paste my password anywhere.
Indeed. And it could be worse.
Are scooters significantly safer? (I'm assuming you mean the small 2 wheeled scooter that looks a bit like a skateboard with a steering post, not a vespa style "mini motorcycle" scooter which is the scooter referenced in this article).

I don't know how to clearly differentiate between the two types of scooter when talking about them.
Yes, we're developing a knowledge graph to score products and represent naming patterns we see across retailers. For instance, the Kirby line at Urban Outfitters is the Curiod line at Walmart and the North Avenue Collection at Amazon.
It’s actually just an obj-c method call. There’s no temporary builder object (or associated class) that needs to be implemented and instantiated like you’d need for a builder.
There's something infuriatingly help-vampirish about asking any question of the form "why don't you do x?".

The pithy answer is because of all the things in the world that someone might propose need doing, I can only do a vanishingly tiny fraction of them. Even the largest, most profitable company in the world can only do a slightly larger tiny fraction of them.

The reason we don't do the things you ask about is because we are focused on doing the things which we've prioritized using our best judgement. The idea that we somehow owe an explanation to internet randos about everything we don't do is indicative of a personality that must not be allowed anywhere near engineers with work to do.
It works nicely if you are debugging CSS via the inspector. But if you start slapping important all over the place you eventually converge towards a code base where a majority (or large number) of classes are using important which takes you back to square one.
>there are no information silos and why no one questions anyone else’s need to know.

I don't see the need to be that confrontational. Let's cool down a bit, I'm sure everybody means well here.
I suppose you could get away with a slightly smaller motor if you don't need super torque, but it's the battery that accounts for a huge amount of weight.
I wrote a second, much more standard Verilog compiler (because by then there was a standard) with the intent of essentially selling cloud simulation time (being 3rd to a marketplace means you have to innovate) - sadly I was a bit ahead of my time ('cloud' was not yet a word) the whole California/Enron "smartest guys in the room" debacle kind of made a self financed startup like that non-viable

So in the end I open sourced the compiler ('vcomp') but it didn't take off
If you have easy access to hosting and enough bandwidth, a <video> tag and static HTML is "good enough". If you want to get really fancy and are willing to touch JS, you can have some code swap out sources based on the screen size, if the video buffer has run dry recently, etc.

The killer problem is specifically the bandwidth. There is not enough capacity to scale video over IP transit[0]; individual creators will get hosed by bandwidth costs. The way that every video platform gets around this is peering[1], but that requires lots of capital expenditure; and last-mile ISPs will play shenanigans with peering negotiations[2]. This is also why video is a monopoly market: large companies can negotiate way better bandwidth deals than you can.

Someone else mentioned PeerTube; I personally do not consider it a solution because P2P is a privacy nightmare. It's still fairly common still for vexatious litigants[3] to sue members of BitTorrent swarms to try and extort settlements out of people. Not to mention, how the heck do you handle GDPR in an environment where every one of your customers gets every other customer's IP address?

[0] What most people think of when they talk about "buying an Internet connection" - you pay someone else to route your packets.

[1] How ISPs connect to one another. You set up a link between your network and theirs, either in the form of physically wiring up extra cabling or connecting up different switches in a colocation center. That link then carries all the traffic between you and them (and either side's transit customers).

This saves money over transit, if you have lots of traffic between you and that ISP.

[2] Notably, Comcast refused to upgrade their link with Level-3 because Netflix was one of their customers

[3] Also regular copyright holders too, but usually they give up once they get a DMCA takedown processed.

I am going to cancel my Netflix and start pirating because am not going to pay more than Germans for netflix and get an even smaller catalog than they get. Germany already pays more than the US for a much smaller catalog. We just get take to the cleaner just because, no reason whatsoever. The law that would require Netflix to pay a percentage to subsidice Swiss movies hasn't even been voted on yet and if it does pass will push the price even higher.
It's getting to the point that services will simply be hosted outside the United States, the index page will say "this site shall not be used by United States citizens," and then people can go about using the Web like it already works anyway. It seems Senators don't understand well what it is they're trying to accomplish because they don't understand how the Web works.

Nah, that's being a human. We put clawbacks and riders in utility rates all the time, even breaks to operating companies. This isn't out-there policy and charitable help programs for utilities are common. Were I still living hand to mouth I'd continue supporting social safety net policies.
