Why is it hard to put out a fire when EV batteries are involved? If the fire doesn't start in the EV battery why would the battery catch fire?

It might sound like an odd question, but we have experience with this in Norway, and the results are counterintuitive. Cars in a large airport parking garage caught fire, and it had many EVs in it. Not a single battery pack caught fire. Only the interior of the EVs did. If they were all EVs the fire would likely be less severe, or not have started at all (an ICE car started it)

Battery packs are very well insulated against fires.

Assuming the fire doesn't go completely out of control, I don't see a reason to worry much about battery packs catching fire.

It seems like fly.io is the best option right now for edge-optimized Go apps. My dream would be that Bud becomes something that Cloudflare simply can't ignore :D

Their reliance on V8 Isolates will make it difficult, but if they add Docker support at some point, then we're good. I don't see how Bud would work with WASM at the moment, but if someone gets it working, that would be a very pleasant surprise!

I'm more focused on getting Bud working well for deployment targets like Fly.io, Heroku, Lambda, K8s, Fargate and EC2.
Why do think that? It's not like crypto dot com would benefit if everyone was trading at a higher price vs a lower price.
I like the mechanics behind lightning, but I prefer the RAND in USB-C. That central fillet, it has to be weaker than a simple male female outcome. There's very little to break in a lightning cable, no hole to get full of pocket dirt on the part most likely to be dropped or scrobbled for in dirt.

Ultimately, single charger/cable is a social good, but the path is rocky: a lot of moaning about "no bundled charger" is the least of it.

USB-c is really about the mechanics. The whole is it TBird is it high power is it audio capable can it do 4k is a continuing shit show. Thats sad, but a single mechanical connector is useful.

(Pixel and currently Moto owner but I know a lot of iPhone owners)

I bought the wrong model zendure 18,000 MAh powerbank, only USB-A style outlets and this is my life now, because nothing charges fast and I can't charge my laptop. But a $50 cheapo I got in a supermarket has USB-c and there's hope for the future. More expensive isn't always better.
That's an argument that people have been making since day 1 of Bitcoin many years ago. It's just dumb at this point, since clearly people see other reasons to buy it.

I'm not saying BTC is a buy at 30k or whatever price, but when you're writing the exact same post people wrote 10 years ago against the thing when it was at 10 cents you kinda gotta question whether your logic is sound.

> these people work way, way harder than me on something way more important to society (right now). Why are they so mistreated?

Just an aside, but oil & gas jobs are generally quite well paid, including the filthy ones. But maybe not all. The reason why very important jobs can be very low paid is no great mystery: it’s because the labor market is based on supply and demand, not importance.
> A deflationary currency makes certain low margin economic activity extremely unattractive versus just sticking your money under the mattress

We can't say that is a bad thing. A lot of that marginal economic activity is probably consuming resources that could have been better saved for a rainy day.

I'm all for economic activity, but the trying to incentivise people to consume everything they can is a bad outcome - someone doing something productive then putting money under a mattress is a fine outcome. If something unexpected comes up they'll have savings.

>Come on. The 1800s „recessions“ were minuscule at worst compared to today‘s global meltdowns happening every decade. Think about the Asian crisis of the 1990s, the New Economy bubble burst at the beginning of the 2000s, the sub prime crisis 12 years ago and now a post Covid recession.

This is completely wrong. The crash of 1873 began what historians call a 20-year depression. The Panic of 1893 was so serious that when Grover Cleveland needed oral surgery for cancer it was done in secret to avoid further panicking the country. J. P. Morgan basically bailed out the entire US economy in the Panic of 1907.

In all of these cases, labor unrest from the unemployed far exceeded anything seen in any post-WW2 economic crisis in the US. At multiple times the US treasury faced the prospect of being unable to fully redeem demands for gold in exchange for paper money. For the entirety of the Gilded Age, the two main political issues in the US were protectionism and free silver, both fundamentally tied into how the US economy functioned and how the US government paid for itself.
A scheme is a plan. Saying just that trivializes the massive amount of work creating a community, creating websites, working on the distributed system itself, doing the marketing, creating smart contracts, getting the smart contracts auditted, setting up bug bounties, writing documentation, moderating the community, creating tools for visualizing the blockchain or other stats, creating various other dapps, etc. Pretty much everything worked on is open source too. You can find it on github.

I don't go around calling Linux a scheme, or emacs a scheme, or blender a scheme.
I think that Musk is not very good at politics, However I might be wrong.
I'm not an expert here, but yes, there are a lot of incidents and accidents that need to be investigated that don't involve the ship sinking (remember the Ever Given?). Plus, having a device installed in some kind of floating pod which detaches automatically when the ship sinks requires a lot of extra equipment, it has to be on the outside, so exposed to salt water and corrosion, etc.

I seem to be one of the few people who don't like dopamin rushes.

I hate myself for 2-5 hours after intense sports. When I still did go to the gym I had to avoid people afterwards, each time.

Same for cocaine, it's fun. Sure is, but I don't like the personality I get. Nether do others.

I did Alcar (some dopamine level pushing nootropic) for a while. I loved it, but everyone started to beg me to stop it.

I still have no idea why I can't have fun with dopamine. Or what this ultimately means for me.

Keep in mind that not everyone pays taxes on capital gains. People with a lot of appreciated stock can simply borrow using the stock as collateral, and not pay a single penny in capital gains. Depending on the entity that owns the stock, the interest on the loan might even be deductible.
Dash, Voila, Panel, & Streamlit–Our Thoughts on the Big Four Dashboarding Tools
Negative electricity prices is an increasingly common phenomenon due to an increasing supply from electricity sources whose output can't be controlled, i.e., wind and solar. Proof of work mining sets a floor under electricity prices, as mining can be spun up when prices are low. This means that proof of work acts as a subsidy for wind and solar, and increases the proportion of the total power production that can be delivered from these sources.
All this causes is a massive amount of busywork just to have a shot at maintaining the value of your previous work. This is not necessary for a good economy, not to mention all the externalities it creates.

I don't really "care" about the business, not in any sense similar to the founder or CEO at the very least, but as a contractor who usually works long-term for one client, I always make it a point to ask what their runway is during the interview process as that will pretty clearly tell me how long, in the worst case scenario, I will have this client for.
Reality is literally the opposite of what you claim. I highly suggest you look at actually tax data and not comments from strangers on social media.

Rather than pocketing some percentage of the funds, the more likely scenario I've heard described is that they may have put some of the funds into slightly more risky assets than short dated T-bills and paid themselves the excess returns. While asset prices were generally rising this strategy worked just fine. Now that they have reversed and begun across-the-board declines, they may be caught out.
Oil and gas require oxygen to burn.
I hear a lot about that, but in reality it makes no sense. At some point in time the loan needs to be repaid and equity sold which carries a tax burden.

You could "step up" the basis when you die, but I find it hard to believe some billionaire would roll over debt for 30+ years, pay 200-300% in interest, just to avoid 20% long-term capital gains?

I read a lot of conjecture about how this happens and many people said Musk did this, yet he paid $500M in taxes last year?!?
> They are reliable enough but not exactly perfect. It’s pretty common to have the chain slip off.

It should not be common for a chain to slip off, something is wrong. The something may just be parts quality.

Derailers are a case of getting what you pay for. The cheapest ones are junk and will never shift well. My partner bought a bottom quality bike with no-name shifters and it has never shifted correctly from day one. It does also drop the chain. No amount of aligning will get it to shift well.

In contrast my 18 years old mountain bike with Shimano XTR derailers has always shifted perfectly and still does.

Bike derailers is one area where it's definitely worth it to go for top of the line components and never worry about it again. Low quality components will make you hate they money you saved every single time you attempt to shift.

EVs are safe if you remove batteries. If batteries can not be easily removed and serviced, it is unsafe design.
We need basic regulations around safety here.
>let me suggest that requiring TPM checks for people running (games on) PCs is like requiring your car to breathalyze you before starting the engine.

There are situations where this would make an individual less safe but for people who have received DUI this is a reasonable and existing practice. I don't think it maps to computers, where rarely are lives on the line.
The ever more prevalent phenomenon of negative electricity prices is a market signal that the energy could not be used more productively. If it could, prices would never be negative.
My intent was not to be misleading by posting this.

More context on the political situation would perhaps been relevant, but also very hard to give concisely in an understandable form since different countries work quite differently.

The political situation is such that this was basically the expected "go ahead" for the parliament to formulate the official NATO application, since you have start a formal process at some point.

The only party in the government that had not made it's position public was the prime ministers own party Social Democrats (SDP). It would be quite impossible for them to hold any other position than Prime Minister has. Plus - public opinion was heavily loaded for NATO (76%) already. This was not due to propaganda, but a very grass roots shift simply caused by the Russian attack to Ukraine. There are still people alive who had to abandon their childhood homes to areas ceded to Russia in WW2, and most people have veterans of that war in their family. Previous situation in Ukraine and Georgia were more "obscure" combined with seditionist movements. The attack on 24th February was an all out war.

I am not sure how well versed finns are of the tactical situation, but most of the units formerly positioned on the Finnish border are now tied in Ukraine or already neutralized there, so from a tactical perspective, given Russians rabid empire building stance it has taken recently, this was an excellent window to act due to impossibility of military response.

The entire point of defi is to circumvent the establishment/regulation. It makes little to no sense to say "but it was attacked"... Yea, that's the fucking point. That's why we have regulations, FDIC insurance, and reserve limits.

This boils down to safety of battery EVs.

Indeed, soon they will be everywhere. Think not only of cargo ships but of traffic, rows of parked cars, whole carparks, etc.

In this case, the change is that was probably considered an inert cargo (cars) will now have be considered a potentially hazardous cargo perhaps requiring extra safety measures.
It is fractional reserve banking which allows banks to loan money into existence, as long as their reserve is at least a certain fraction of their total loans. The alternative is full reserve banking, where banks aren't allowed to do that - or no-reserve banking I suppose...
At the end of the day, it's either proof of work or proof of force. You can't have a good society build on force, implicit or explicit. In a perfect world we could go with proof of stake, but the world is what it is.
> but the plaintiff shows it was trained on data that allows for discrimination

That's all data; there would be no need to show anything.

There was a paper a while ago by a team of doctors who wanted to use classifiers on X-ray images and FREAKED OUT when they realized that the first thing the classifier did was categorize every image by the race of the patient. As they note, it will always do this regardless of whether the race of the patient is present in the input data. (Because obviously, the race of the patient is part of the information conveyed by the structure of their body, which is what an X-ray shows.)

If people were suddenly capable of being 100% in control of their own thoughts, choices, and beliefs, every dark pattern experiment would end and the advertising industry would collapse.
Maybe we should demand same safety standards from EVs. Fill those parts that could cause fire with inert gas if that helps. Yearly or as often checks that these systems operate correctly.

Ask HN: How would you move a hobby WordPress blog to static, hosted on GH Pages?
I've made a couple of blogs for friends that are currently hosted on cheap VPSs, they are both classic Wordpress blogs with a few hundred MBs images.
To reduce maintenance and have more speed/uptime/security I wanted to move the workflow to a static blog hosted on Github Pages (assuming you can host hundreds of MBs there, the limit is 1GB afaik).
There seem to be so many ways to go about it, so I'm suffering from analysis paralysis: the workflow should be easy enough for my non-dev friends to update posts themselves without botching the blog..

How would you do it? I had a look at Pelican, Hugo and Lektor and I appreciate the "admin panel" in Lektor but I'm not an expert and you might have better ideas
Initial manufacturing defects are likely a decent cause. And you only need one in ten or hundred thousand to still have issues if such can affect other vehicles tightly packed around.

Putting money under the mattress is an awful outcome.

If people want to save then they should put their money in to a _bank account_ where they can earn interest and their money can be put to use productively.

Not only does this mean they’ll have savings, but it’s also safer (can’t get robbed) and it leads to the positive outcomes GP described around things actually getting built, and the saver ends up with more money than before because your bank account has a positive interest rate.

Where this fails is if the currency is deflationary, because then it’s extremely hard for the bank to offer a non-negative interest rate and so it really is more attractive to put money under the bed, modulo the risk of it being stolen or lost
