It is not clear to me, why it would be cheaper to ship the batteries separately. The car shipment might be theoretically cheaper, however it is much more difficult to ship cars which cannot drive. On the other side, you would have the increased risk for the battery shipment with the associated insurance costs.
However, it is not obvious to me, that shipping electric cars is more risky. Actually all statistics point to electric cars being more safe than combustion engined cars.

As the article points out, it is probably necessary to change best practises of handling electric vs. combustion engined cars. Making really sure, that no car moves and crashes into others, change in firefighting strategies. Make sure, that the cars only contain a minimum amount of charge and of course continue to improve battery safety itself.

For LFP they (Tesla) are actually using prismatic cells which have even better density.

An advantage of cylindrical cells is that they allow for more effective cooling, but that’s not so necessary with LFP.
And it's not even that clever just to deny the facts for the sake of being contrarian. There's definitely a pro-Ukranian bias in Western media and on twitter, but there's still more than enough signal in there to determine that the war isn't going well for Russia.

Hell, just looking at Putin's facial expressions tells you as much, and that's just one tiny piece of information.

A little bit of selection bias doesn't mean that the signal disappears.
Yes, though bell pepper is I believe mainly US/Canada:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_pepper

>The terms bell pepper (US, Canada, Philippines), pepper or sweet pepper (UK, Ireland, South Africa, Zimbabwe), and capsicum (Australia, Bangladesh, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Sri Lanka) are often used for any of the large bell-shaped peppers, regardless of their color. The fruit is simply referred to as a "pepper", or additionally by color ("green pepper" or red, yellow, orange, purple, brown, black).[6] In the Midland region of the U.S., bell peppers, either fresh or when stuffed and pickled, are sometimes called mangoes.
Any custom made software is pretty high up in the list. Whenever I build something myself I always start looking for ways to move to something off the shelf.

Anothrer big one is browsers. I use Kiwi+Chromium+BitWarden sync, but I'm not completely happy with any existing browser. Nobody has an open source full-featured chromium with sync, and nobody so far has a practical decentralized web platform with any traction.

I would really like to get rid of the Thonny IDE. There are no good tools I know of for working with MicroPython, uploading code to boards, updating firmware, etc. Just piles of command line apps, and no mobile support.

I would also like to get rid of... basically all the methods of building an android app. Kivy's buildozer is great, KivyMD is still rather unpleasant to work with.

All the existing methods of making Android apps seem to involve ugly hacks to get UI working, and a lot of hassle to do stuff like background services, Bluetooth, and serial.

I suppose that goes back to browsers, since making more things as PWAs and browser extensions will probably be the solution for this stuff one day.
Early on, it was rumored that Russian troops were under orders to not damage infrastructure. That makes sense especially if they expected to take the country without much of a fight. Even so, one stereotypical difference between American and Russian approaches to war is that Americans try to bomb everything to rubble before sending in troops, while Russians try to preserve infrastructure they can use once they capture territory.

On the other hand one should see, how the masses of normies, uneducated about how even a single web page works, keep consuming the wrong stuff, creating huge incentive for companies to ruin the web we have/had for the for the people, who value consent and freedom. Normies just keep consuming and enjoying away their own freedom and the freedom of others, by giving power in terms of money to the wrong people. We have seen it again and again with companies like FB, Netflix, Google and so on, which create a dystopia of not being in control, what is done with your data and spying on us everywhere we go on the Internet. The normies, who consume without worrying are empowering them.

So yes, it is some gate keeping, but maybe that gate keeping is justified, in order to protect our freedom.
htmx is designed to work with a HTML API. Everyone here seems to love it, I found it forces terribly complicated routing and templating and IMHO projects grow towards unmaintainable very quickly. I'm saying this as a person who really tried hard to like it.

You can perhaps use Alpine.js plus sprinkle htmx here and there, to have the best of both worlds, at least on paper. Didn't try this myself.
Meal of a lifetime: what to eat at every age
If you go back to first principles, increasingly density of housing is the way to solve the housing crisis. We are currently locked into the idea that single owner / single family owner occupier model of housing - which basically means billions of individual housing units if extrapolated to global scale. Packing people closer together - as we once lived (google 'Hakka Walled Villages') and sharing communal spaces which we episodically and infrequently use - is the way.

So I approve of this innovation, even though it will inevitably be portrayed as a dystopic illustration of wealth inequality
I’d be curious to see if they publish the tech underlying this.

it's far worse than that. even volkssturm conscripts are being sent to the frontlines. it's everything that Ukraine has - which is a lot in a country of 40-something million people, against a contingent of 150-200 thousand men
The incompetence story is at this point only a cost-saving exercise to avoid paying combat-death compensation to Russian sailors wives and orphans. What a class act from the not-so-clean-anymore bandit Vlady. Btw. check out IC3PEAK March it's right on!
But I'd assume a huge amount of that net worth is due to Better.com's valuation. Valuation is, of course, just the amount the most recent investors paid for their shares, times the total number of shares. And those most recent investors include Softbank, who also gave the founder the loan.

Seems like a pretty scary loop.
The .org link seems to be a rick-roll.
The Ukrainian army has been massively scaled up since 2014, with western assistance.

Remember, the Russian invasion already happened when they marched into the Crimea. This is just a continuation.
It seems like mostly fog of war combined with media's incentives to have great stories. Really the Ukrainian military is not going to connect it's PR department up to its tactical to get a real soldier to confirm which class of boat was hit. It also serves them quite well that Russia might not understand which threat cost them the Moskva.
My cfs started after atrip too, in my case in a zone known as an hotspot of lyme disease. It took me 10 years to understand that it was lyme and not cfs,
the first test I did for lyme was specific for the American species and came back negative, finally the proper test for the 3 European species was done and came back positive.

That was pretty much a nightmare. With relatives and friends accusing me of being lazy whilei couldn't even walk.
Maybe what was a "good reason" 15 years ago isn't anymore, namely the lack in those days of WebSockets and, if I'm correct, widespread Server Sent Events?

This became true as the war continues. Wasn't the case in February.

Western intelligence was expecting Russians to capture Kyiv within several days of the war [1]

Therefore, western countries refused to supply heavy weapons. They remember the 7 billion of military equipment they supplied to Afghanistan [2]

The article seems to be looking for the decisions people make to lead to better or worse health outcomes, but perhaps it is the opposite—good physical health leads to higher IQ scores (on average).
They don't have VHF radio.
From reading about the topic I seem to remember that the rocket's (initial) flight path was mostly observed from the ground, but this text mentions that "early test rockets" had a camera onboard (just not on the outside) with the downside that the film had to be retrieved after splash, and that later development models used a radio transmitter instead:

Makes sense. If Better.com crashes, they're probably not getting much from the CEO, because so much of his net worth is tied up in Better and he would just file for bankruptcy. So it seems like this would be a tool to prevent the insanity of what happened with Adam Neumann, in which SoftBank had to pay a shitload to acquire his shares just to get him to leave and not tank the rest of their investment.
It might simply boil down on learning how to safely treat EVs. As the article points out, currently they are shipped like combustion engined vehicles and so far there is no differentiation in treatment. Combustion engined vehicles became relatively safe to handle by about 100 years of experience. Still, statistics point out that they catch fire more often than EVs. But that doesn't mean, one might not have to handle EVs slightly different when putting them on these ships. Like tying them down properly, adjusting the fire extinguishing facilities accordingly.
And of course, battery technology itself and the engineering of BEVs will progress constantly.

Russia cleaned Mariupol of nazi, they are now starting to clean up Ukrainian eastern army the most experienced fighting force in Europe they have been fighting the Donbass people republic army since like 2014. Ukrainian cannot join NATO or the EU as long as the war wages on. Those were the main objectives Putin said in his war speech at the end of februari.

Now within Europe the next most capable NATO army is the polish army which is even worse equipped than the Ukrainian one. As a person that still lives in the EU its kinda worrying to see the Russian chew through the EU NATO best regional armies as if it's just a sweaty warming up.

Regarding Russias great power status i don't agree they are a great power and one that isn't even that limited regionally seen, they are active in the middle east, north Africa and central Asia they are just not a super power like the US and China.
Google was the cheap competitor to TV last recession. That's definitely not true anymore.
And the other side could argue that continuously investing in things puts you at continuous risk, and stops you from saving for a rainy day. Also, it's impossible even under deflation to hoard wealth completely, because you still need to buy food and clothes. Presumably, under deflation you would buy more necessities and consume less unnecessary things. Also, setting interest rates is a form of price control (on borrowing money), and maybe lenders should be allowed to respond to supply and demand organically like they can with every other good.

Without hard mathematics, these debates are pointless. I don't understand why you can't see that. This isn't physics.

Define “intelligence”. The main reason IQ can tell you which of two animals is a human and a gorilla is that you can only explain to one of them how to take the test, but the number you get out of it doesn’t seem to have much to do with it.
Here in Germany, I can take a month off and still have 10 vacation days left, every year.

A month of vacation every 5 years sounds vaguely like slave labour to me.
0% finance just means you’re paying a bigger upfront cost. Buying a new car is never worth it
It's not a matter of being poor, but corrupt. The money was allocated, and later stolen.

Wheat importers are facing high prices, not starvation. The biggest importers like Egypt, Turkey and Indonesia all have significantly higher per capita incomes than India and are better equipped to deal with higher prices. As TFA notes, exports will be allowed to countries that need Indian wheat to meet their food security needs.
The most amusing thing here is what Ukraine is just the same post-Soviet country with exactly the same problems, but suddenly...
How much does it cost for a Dystopia Pod™?
Both the Americans and the Soviets shipped all material they could find about the V2 to their respective countries, this included both completely assembled rockets and parts which where then assembled and tested at home with the help of German specialists (the Soviets also had "their" group of German rocket scientists, just not as "high profile" as the group around von Braun).

The first Soviet ballistic missile "R1" was an almost 100% clone of the V2 for instance:

if this is the default, do they expect to win via attrition? I don't believe russia can out-industry the west. Perhaps they hope that the voting population gets sick of the cost, and bail out, giving russia the win.
Russia is also partially backed up by Donbas army but thats also pretty much an experienced conscription army. People also don't know that the Ukrainian army is probably the most experienced army in NATO to fight a great power rival and the best equipped army in eastern Europe.
There’s a lot of propaganda meant to make Russia look far more incompetent than they are.

There are also countless videos from the war showing Russia’s military is full of people more incompetent than even the most ridiculous propaganda could ever make us believe. I’ve seen loads of tanks and Russians getting blown up in ridiculous ways and I’m really not even going out of my way to search for it.

I think the division between land as natural resources and land as any non-Schumpeterian economic rent source (so broadcast spectrum rights but not brands because the company created those) is more between traditional and modern Georgists.

But it still runs into the same practical problems. The taxable value of "unimproved" Google.com is negligible (the same value as any other domain name, or vaguely pronounceable nonsense word domain name if you're trying to be really specific with your tax assessments), probably less than they're currently paying their domain registrar for.

If you're taxing billion dollar companies and their founders significantly less, you're taxing everyone else significantly more or providing fewer public services (in George's vision where LVT is the only tax). There's an efficiency argument that letting Googles be even richer is good for all of us because we get so much more stuff from it and people who use land to live on rather than to build social networks on deserve penalising for their relatively unproductive use of the land, but it's not one that necessarily corresponds well to the reality of the sort of CRUD-apps with lockin monopolies Silicon Valley VCs tend to build and the sort of employment and development opportunities the average homeowner has

Central bank interest rates are negative but consumer savings accounts are not negative. A quick google search shows that savings accounts are offering either zero or nominally positive rates (0.02%). I agree that interest rates are super low in Europe right now but they aren't actually negative for consumers.
Interesting, the SSH join form doesn't ask for an email, so they have no way of getting back to me with their answer.

Well, you're seeing one of the problems with systems based on consensus expressed in grocery prices now. Refusal to adopt the faith for any reason increases harm exponentially.

The notion that, if everyone just went along with things, then they would be better off, is why some people argue that free will doesn't exist and more to the subject matter, it's also why agriculturally productive land has been more and more centralized and industrialized, over the last few decades especially, in the name of creating this giant system of global food distribution which so many are now reliant entirely upon and which has also now just shit the bed.
I haven't been scared about interviews nearly as much as when I started. When I was getting started, I was a newbie with no degree. Now, I've got over a decade of experience with no degree. Granted, I haven't interviewed a lot: two processes in the last few years. Both times, the interviews felt like much more of a two way street and conversations between peers as opposed to me feeling like I have to prove myself to some way more senior decision maker.

Don't get me wrong, I still get nervous for interviews and want to make sure that I come off as a competent person. I still have doubts about what kinds of questions I'll be asked right beforehand. I also tend to apply for roles that are different from what I've done before, so I already know I probably won't know everything about the immediate subject matter. The process as a whole just seems less nerve-wracking now, though. Regardless of how nervous I might be right before an interview, at the end of the day I feel much more at peace with my own abilities.

I think there's a high chance this would change if I was more actively looking for different positions and interviewing a lot. Some caveats that make this easier for me:

* I don't bother with processes that do Leetcode-style whiteboarding interviews. I prefer take-home tests. Pretty sure if I was going for the former, I'd be much less "zen" about it.

* Both times I already had a good job and was just exploring other opportunities that came up. If I had a sense of urgency without stable employment, I'd surely be much more nervous.
Yes, exactly. Even the creator of Node says so:

"I think Node is not the best system to build a massive server web. I would use Go for that. And honestly, that’s the reason why I left Node. It was the realization that: oh, actually, this is not the best server-side system ever."

Heavy computation still ties up the event loop in Node.js. We're just not talking about it as much because most people deploy to serverless functions nowadays which can spin up compute upon request. I love serverless and use it with https://standupjack.com, but it comes with it's own tradeoffs!
The availability or non-availability of tagging on any platform has nothing to do with the quality or usefulness of the content. IMO, tagging is mostly useless because there needs to be a canonical dictionary of tags to choose from. That dictionary would have to be maintained by the HN mod and updated base on inputs. Otherwise every member may have a different spelling, wording, underscores or hyphens, etc.

I don’t think @dang has enough time to handle more requests and chores that add little or no value to the discussions.

I’d rather have larger fonts, an accessible interface, dark mode based on the user’s system/browser’s hints, etc. Those would make a much bigger impact for the audience.

Lastly, I’m being pedantic here: “Ask HN” cannot answer questions on HN’s implementation. Neither I nor anyone else commenting here has any clue as to why HN does not have tags or is considering adding tags in the future. Only the HN mod/admin can answer that, which can be asked by emailing them. A “Tell HN” would’ve been better to make a suggestion and get inputs.

> People didn't think the invasion would take place because it's a bad idea for the Russians.

Just before the invasion, French military intelligence told Macron that Russia wouldn't invade, because Russian military capabilities were not sufficient.
