Can you share your source for the energy cumulative inflation number? I'm looking at "urban consumers all items in us cities average" on the st louis fed website and it's giving me 265->290, which is a fair bit short of 32%.

Even if you own something, there's no guarantee that you have your own private parking space to install EV chargers. Where I live (an old, very dense downtown), some houses don't have a driveway, and most can only accommodate a single car. Street parking is very common for residents. On top of that, apartments aren't guaranteed to have EV chargers installed.

Are you saying that the censor-resistant purity of crypto has the ability to inspire values of liberal democracy in the lackies who toil in NK's hacking farms?

That seems rather idealistic, let alone any likelihood of it leading to democratic values taking root there.
For sure. Except I don't think this site provides "official interaction with US government stuff". My expectation is that the government was involved only to create the regulation and the implementation was left to the credit bureaus. Which of course are incentivized to make the conversion rate of this site as low as possibly. So offputtingly sketchy is probably a good thing for them.

Most gas stations in my area are located near other amenities. Your average driver will still be inclined to hang out at their car though, since getting to those other stores and restaurants involves walking across huge parking lots or along high speed, pedestrian hostile roads.
"Those that came before us..." refers to Shang Chi's family tree, not the Avengers, that is the deceptive message here. It leverages fan's loyalty to sell a non-established hero.

Plus, depending on your interpretation, it might sound like Shang Chi is a combination or is more powerful than its "predecessors": "made us who we are today"

The key with priming is that it occurs subtly, without the viewer suspecting its effect on later actions - serving the purpose of a deception, under fans' noses
"It's not possible to charge on the street near your house."

This seems like a huge opportunity considering how much Street parking there is. Several interesting approaches come to mind for providing this, from running lockable (hardware and software) charging cables to empower residents to set up charging infrastructure of their home (plus legal changes to designate those spaces for those who improved them; to public infrastructure in the curbs.

"there are huge issues to be solved before widespread roll out of EV is possible."

I agree. One of the biggest issues in my mind is just deciding if we want to standardize and create infrastructure as a society, or if we want to empower individuals to make the changes they require.
MHD is a specific set of a assumptions you can make to reduce the plasma fluid equations to something more tractable. This includes things like assuming infinite conductivity and combining all of your species into a single "fluid". Those are reasonable assumptions for astrophysical plasmas but not at all for Hall thrusters, so we do not use MHD.

In my work, we use the Euler equations for ions (assuming they lack viscosity), with electromagnetic and ionization source terms. Electrons are treated as massless and generally steady with respect to the ions. Both of their equations of motion can be derived starting with the Boltzmann equation and applying simplifying assumptions.

Has anyone noticed lately there's an overwhelming number of laws designed more for virtue signalling than effectiveness? Straws for example. Shouldn't we be writing laws banning plastic straws rather than fine places for passing them out without being asked.

Also for EVs if there is a lot of money in charging networks, wouldn't the market just "work" for that. I'm kind of sick of liberal politics (but not liberal ideas - like people buying EVs and supporting a clean environment).
What gives me anxiety on that set up is the fact they they have a a dozen cables hanging down. Sloppy.
That's the cool part: everything is part in one transaction, so the lender is paid back instantly with interest.

Zero risk for the lender.
No offense, but I couldn't get into this piece due to the upfront clutter. Some readers may find it charming, but the privilege comment, the chart tweet, the subscribe button, the references to various novels... I just wasn't finding a good starting point to latch onto the content promised by the (excellent) headline. It felt like I had jumped into the middle of a podcast where the hosts are bantering and not making much progress on the discussion.
The loan is zero-risk for the lender because it's taken out and repaid within the same transaction (sort of like a database transaction). If the borrower fails to repay, the entire transaction fails/reverts and the money is never lent out.

Now, the borrower doesn't only have to put the borrow and repay calls into that one transaction. They can put anything in between, for example interacting with Beanstalk.
Agreed. I don't think Space Math represents a viable solution, I was just looking at it to survey the design space of math notation on a computer.
This is not an explanation of why the naming is a disaster. USB 1 devices work on USB 2 devices without there needing to be some insane renaming. Ditto USB 2 devices on USB 3 devices.

This naming was an entirely unforced error, and should be called out as such at every opportunity to keep it from happening again.

Edit: if you want another example of a spec with good names, checkout WiFi 6. They realized that no normal person could reason about whether 11n or 11ac was better, so they changed the naming scheme to make it obvious what was going on.

The downside for the city is trampling over businesses and their resident owners.
This kinda sounds like there's a marginal cost thing going on: you've made some kinds of problems much cheaper to solve, via experience. The things that those mental models don't apply to are then harder in comparison, even if they aren't actually harder in absolute terms than they would have been earlier on.
This sounds about right. When I burned out at my last job it took me 2 months to recover. I camped out of a car in that time, and removing myself from my usual environment helped a lot.

A one month litmus test is a good call, IMO.
Most old high rises in the West End do not have the spare wattage to install even one charger in the underground parkade much less several. Getting some from BC Hydro is expensive and they really, really don't want to because they don't have much to spare either.

I have two external monitors on my M1 Air. The "main" one is connected via hdmi and runs at 120Hz, and another one is connected via DisplayLink compatible adapter which is connected via usb to the same usb hub as the first monitor. That hub is then connected with two usb type-c connectors+cables to the laptop. It works quite fine. There is a small caveat though. The monitor connected with DisplayLink has a very small input lag, but for light work it works just fine. I would not tolerate it for a main monitor (some people would I guess), but it defintely is much better than not having a monitor.

> Modelling provided to the city estimated that about 30 per cent of gas stations and 40 per cent of parking lots would install chargers by 2030

Basically, they expect the majority of gas stations and parking lots to just pay the fee instead. Pretty solid indictment of the economics of installing chargers when even a 10k/year penalty isn't enough to tip the scale.
I'm from East England and moved to San Francisco for 12 years and have now lived in Seattle for 2 years.

Here is the secret of Seattle, why people live here: the summer is absolutely bonkers nice.

For example in the last 2 years, temperatures over 60 degrees, temperatures over 70 degrees, days with over 0.2" rain:

May: 9, 1, 7

June: 20, 5, 7

July: 31, 9, 1

August: 30, 10, 1

Sept: 23, 4, 5

It also remains super warm all evening. It's just great! But yes, being from windy gray England means Dec-Feb where it is very very grey doesn't bother me at all, I don't even notice it.

Good.

The US is supposed to be a "free market" of governments. Don't like the government in California? Go to another state. Don't like that businesses are leaving your state? Vote for someone else.

If you say that losing any businesses -- regardless of the potential benefits -- is unacceptable, then you essentially have a completely stagnant state.

If all the US states are stagnant like that, and there is no innovation in legislation, then we end up with problems that we never even try to solve.

California's economy is not going to die whether this bill passes or not (although it certainly will not).
Okay, I guess there are people who consider cryptocurrency as opposition to the government. That's fine. But how it relates to the current situation and specifically to the "Code is Law"?

So, if you already understand the patterns in your domain, then you can leverage your understanding to generate data, to train your models to recognize the patterns in your domain's data?

It sounds silly, but maybe it's easier than hand-encoding the rules yourself?
> This seems misguided to me.

Agreed, and for more reasons than those you mention. This would increase costs of gas on poorer people (who can't afford a shiny new EV) to subsidize more convenient charging for wealthier people (who aren't even buying gas). It's effectively an additional tax on gasoline that gas station owners will pass on to all their customers who do buy gas.
> Not sure what Toyota has to do with anything

They're probably referencing the fact that Toyota has hedged their bets on hydrogen fuel instead of electric. As far as I'm aware though, that hedge has been going poorly for them.
Yeah, the city should step in to fill this role. Perhaps they could pass some sort of law requiring that current oil-based infrastructure has to support battery charging as well. Gas stations might be a particularly good target, since they are already geographically optimized for refueling vehicles.

Unless I am missing something, iPhone doesn't have filtering quite like this. iPhone can filter "Unknown Senders." This is a fairly annoying feature almost as bad as the spam messages themselves.

Google is applying spam filtering. Essentially all the text messages I want come through. All the text messages I don't are a silent notification.

Pixel applies spam filtering on calls too. Few spam calls even make it through the spam filtering. When they do make it through, and you don't recognize the number, you can use Google Assistant to screen the call, which will provide a live transcription of what the caller is saying, all using a local on-device speech recognition system. If you want to pick up, you can do so. Otherwise, you just drop the call.

We would need to develop a single standard and a limited number of battery sizes for this to ever be feasible. Go look at how many different starter batteries your typical auto parts store has to stock. Now imagine doing that with batteries that are much larger and much riskier if they are stored/handled improperly.
I'm sorry...drivers are making a choice, they are not as naive as you seem to think they are and they have infinite other options for unskilled labor if it's really that "unfair", but most of those options pay less per hour - yes, they don't put as many miles on people's cars, but that's a tradeoff for getting cash now, which is often what people want. I delivered pizzas as a college kid, and made 1/3 of what Uber drivers make while driving the same amount, even accounting for inflation.

"Systematically exploited" is a really paternalistic view.
Exactly; mandating chargers at gas stations has to be one of the worst thought-out policy ideas for charging infrastructure that I've seen.

An urban Target store in my area has a row of chargers along one wall of its parking garage. A carrot, stick, or both to encourage that in other places with large parking areas, especially ones where people are likely to stay awhile, would certainly seem like the way to go.
Not only did my pay change not match inflation this year, but my overall income is lower now since I am now salary based position instead of hourly, but I end up working more than 40 hours a week due to degradation of our company and rapidly losing talent due to paying everyone well below industry average. I might technically make more per hour, but now I don't get any overtime like before.

The replacements for the talent leaving are way under qualified and even if they were qualified, we still wouldn't have enough people to handle things adequately beyond putting out fires.

I keep an eye on my finances. At this point, my net monthly income is breaking even only accounting for planned, repeatable, or necessary costs. When rent contract renews later this year, my rent will increase by over $1000/mo. With how the economics of the next couple of years looks like, I'm pretty stressed out.

My manager says I'm sadly at the top of the pay grade scale for our department and it can only change year over year by at most 10%. He says he wished it were different but it's all he can do. If nothing were to change for years, I would never reach close to industry average for this position for my area, which is rapidly getting more expensive in the past few years.

> There's no potential scenario where that happens

Maybe not in your lifetime. But you’re not practicing long-term thinking here. Global, trustless, decentralized networks allow humanity to fundamentally reorganize. Physical, nation-state borders are ignored by such networks. Cooperation for physical resources still does matter but that may also be lessened by technological leaps in sectors like energy and food production. Humanity, if lucky enough to not be oppressed by ultra powerful governments, will likely render federal/central governments much less important and thus much less powerful. Simply put, the value proposition of central governments is now on the decline.
Consider that it was intentionally built to function this way. The only insanity then is the belief by whoever is ultimately liable on Beanstalks end that the this setup won't land them in jail. Who knows maybe this is ruled legal and anybody can launder money in any way they want so long as they oh shucks are too dumb to setup proper contracts.
This is possible because of a concept called a flash loan. Using a smart contract, you can borrow (without collateral) and the smart contract would reverse the transaction if the money is not repaid. There is a cost to borrowing, but in this case it obviously made sense. Cryptocurrency arbitrage bots were some of the first implementations of flash loans that I know of.

> it has nothing to do with the other Avengers

_Yet_. If you've watched any of the other MCU movies you can easily predict that Shang-Chi will be part of the next lineup of the Avengers. They give you the impression that you will get a Marvel Avenger origin story, and that's what the movie delivers. Nothing deceptive about that. (Apart from that it also has plot connections to Iron Man 2.)
> Noah Webster created his first dictionary as a resource to use alongside the King James Bible because he had observed, in his lifetime, the drift of the meanings of words to the point that what the words meant when the KJV was written were being understood differently.

This sounds off; the KJV was written in an intentionally archaic style, which guarantees that, at the time of writing, popular understanding of some of the usage would have already diverged from the meaning as written. That was a goal of the project, which makes it a strange "problem" to address with a dictionary.

The counterbalance is that this is like a game of hot potato. You set up your platform with known flaw, and you wait around trying to hit max locked funds. But the whole time you're nervous someone else is going to spot the issue and take it before you do.

I would love to do this - and it would be easy, as I'm already forwarding from my own domain and have been for 25 years - but I receive so much spam (>600 per day vs. ~20 non-spam per day) that only Gmail's spam filtering is good enough. I've tried others (like Fastmail) and typically ~50/day get through their spam filters, vs. at Gmail where on a typical day 1-2 get through.

As soon as anyone besides Gmail can successfully do spam filtering, I'm stuck with them.

(Why do I get so much spam? Because I've been using the same email address, never hiding it at all even on Usenet, for 25 years.)
