I wanted this just yesterday! I was searching several channels to recall how many bolts are holding the battery for the electric F150. Sure enough, Top Gear told me how many bolts the F150 used for its battery pack!

Result:

SPOKEN WORDS
"…kept things simple it recycled the same basic chassis and attach the battery which can be removed with just eight bolts from underneath and used carryover components wherever possible in fact…"
Plausible real-world applications make it more effective as a "staff retention project", eh?
That’s an old api we need to sunset. How did you stumble on it?
Not even theoretical. An early capability based OS called KeyKOS worked that way.
I was hoping for exactly this! Something like the "radar lock" and "missile launch warning" sounds in military aircraft. Maybe its time to dig into the plugin API world ...
I've been doing this with my parents, but for stuff I want. They have a lot of old computer stuff that they don't need. I've been taking some of it each time I visit.

It helps them declutter and lets me make sure they don't throw any of it away. I can always dispose of it later if I decide it's not useful.
It’s not just the effect of Twitter. It’s the whole point of Twitter.
Most people's 20% down is also a loan. Plus, in addition to that $150K down payment, I can point to my savings account with more than the loan debt inside. The only reason I have a loan is for the tax relief, if not for that I'd have purchased the home completely. My home loan is under 2%.
I suppose the difference is that the bank has to refuse you in the EU system, instead of pawning the refusal off to a third party that does the calculation.
Thanks for pointing this out. It is certainly what /I/ thought of.
I organize my life in pillars. One of them is Occupational pillar, made of Profession, Projects and Leisure. Profession is my main occupation, but I have other side projects as well.

I usualy book time in advance to work on my projects, but I also work on them when I have some free time from my profession. If I'm too tired then I go for my leisure time (rest is also important).

About routines, I have a morning routine (that I do everyday when I wake up) and a night routine (before going to sleep). Other than that I have simply morning, afternoon and evening work slots. These work slots changes depending on the day.

I simple way to avoid the "what should I be doing now?" is starting doing "what should I do tomorrow?"
This is a really good explanation as to why my credit score dropped by ~30 points each time I finished paying off a student loan early.
What's an example of a good tables package? Thanks
Agreed. However should Operating Systems for consumers only really cater to that use case? Because that is the problem IMO.
As some one not familiar with theatrical terms, what does the term "Dress Circle" mean? Is it a class of seating?
I am. But I also learn stuff I can apply on my job. I find it nothing out of order. I’m doing this job for 22 years.
It's a rebranded webview/chromium like basically all alternative browsers.
You see, this is how you do job interview, not waiting for some HR schmuck to ask you leetcode questions over the span of 6 months.
Hi - I'd be interested to hear more details about what approaches you suggest!
> that US can blockade PRC and somehow not escalate to full-scale war

Which is only possible by starting a war... by doing something like, idk, invading Taiwan??

> cruise missiles are nuclear capable platforms, as are even gravity bombs from long ranger bombers.

It's not nuclear capability that is the issue, so I'm not sure why you keep bringing that up. The issue with ICBMs come down to range - if a country launched an ICBM you have minutes before it lands somewhere. You don't know where, and you can't intercept it, and you don't know what the payload is. So if a country launched an ICBM you would assume it's a nuclear weapon and launch your ICBMs toward strategic targets located from the launch source.

A cruise missile can be equipped with nuclear capabilities, but the range is limited (~1,000 miles or less), otherwise it would be an ICBM. Use of cruise missiles so far has been strictly conventional, and if the CCP is under the assumption that invading Taiwan would result in the US and allies using cruise missiles which may or may not be nuclear tipped and then their response would be to use nuclear weapons, well, that's kind of their own problem isn't it? The clear answer here is to not really try and find out. Conversely you can just argue that we don't know what the CCP has equipped their missiles with, ergo we would use nuclear weapons in response to a conventional attack just in case. The whole scenario is really stupid. If the US and allies used nuclear cruise missiles, China could just use nuclear weapons in response.

> There's sides pursuing their interests but one side's interest is drifting from the stable 92 consensus.

I don't think that's clear in any way. Hong Kong is an example.

> No you can't... It's baked into PRC mythos by this point.

Well then war it'll be. There's no other alternative here. Maybe the US should launch a nuclear first strike just in case. I mean afterall you have suggested that China would attack the US mainland in the event of an attempt at invading Taiwan. Might as well get it over with, right?
> just another company

By using "another" vs "a" you are implicitly drawing a comparison. And, I think we all, and you, are very aware of that.
Yes, for me it's all about the morning routine. If you can start your day off early and accomplish a bunch of tasks it boosts your mood and also makes it easier to keep the train going for the rest of the day.

Routine is all about forming healthy habits, the best way to do that is to make them obvious and easy. I'd highly recommend reading 'Atomic Habits' by James Clear to help with this.

You can have a 2 party system and still have elections won by someone vaguely centrist in their policies. Both parties have moved toward their respective extremes over the last 20-30 years.
They could use further taxes but that would only negatively affect the poorer strata of population, as we are currently seeing with record high gas prices.

I have a hard time believing that big corporations can be pressured with this kind of policies, seeing that they can just pass on the extra costs down the line to the customers.
> I’m not sure if I can see many first principles justifications for giving rural areas such a mechanism of power

The primary justification to give states such power is that otherwise they might leave the federation. One have to first ask why areas with radically different population density should be governed under the same government, rather than having them rule over themselves.

Two clear examples of non-proportional representation is EU and Iceland. EU has given the 3 smallest nations 6 representative each, which is just a bit less than 1% of the total votes. However if EU used proportional representation they wouldn't even get 1 representative, as the smallest one has less than 0.1% of the population in EU. Germany in contrast holds around 13% of the votes, with about 20% of the total populations.

Iceland has non-proportional representation for a rather obvious reason. Over 51% of people who live in Iceland live in the capital region. A proportional representation democracy would be identical to a dictatorship. In order to avoid this they gave each rural area just enough representatives so that the sum would have more votes than the capital alone. If all rural area went together they decide, but the capital by virtue of being the biggest region still holds the power in practically all situations.
SwiftUI has been a game changer for me as a solo dev. Sure - you have to make tradeoffs like backwards compatibility, and some strange things are missing/don't work. But - it's been a force multiplier. You can break apart complex views into components by copy/pasting its body into a new `View` struct. It's so much simpler than ripping apart a storyboard into a XIB or fighting with layout constraints. The simplicity lets you try things and fail fast without too much of an investment in design complexity.

I find that I can deliver features and iterate much faster and that makes up for the time I spend fixing edge case bugs or bridging to UIKit when I need an unsupported feature.
Perhaps you could have channel owners register their channel if they want to be indexed. That would be super useful.
Trust is a requirement of a voting system (or any other system that is entrusted with controlling who will government) if we want a stable society.

So we either need to teach people to understand it or find a way to make them trust something they don't understand.

The religion playbook is useful for the latter approach but if the goal is to make people trust what they don't understand but we've been doing pretty much the opposite real hard for the past ~10yr.
We’ve learned that most software that we run on our computers shouldn’t be completely trusted and most users can be tricked into running malicious software. Pretending that supply chain attacks don’t exist isn’t security either.

The ability to sandbox software (with a lot of effort) means that you can run software you don’t trust. The web is built on this.
True, it is interesting from a game theoretic point of view. There is info about the algorithm's properties here in case anyone is interested:

That's why I got my dad a chromebook. ChromeOS is a really well-engineered system- good enough that I never ever worried about security.
The great junk transfer is the flipside of the great wealth transfer. It's going to be massive, and only just starting.
The Senate gets the less populous states heard.

The EC still results in most of them being ignored. Just because its dynamics mean California also gets ignored doesn't mean the EC doesn't actually make picking up voters in small non-swing states even less important and votes in Florida even more important.

The five most popular states add up to less than half the population and have very different political climates and priorities.
>I wonder why Americans just keep going for it.

We trade one for another; there's no social caste, royalty, or nobility here. Your worth as a human being is determined entirely by the sum of your assets.
I happen to have the Leopold tkl, cause when I tried to buy the 660 it was out of stock. Leopold keyboards are awesome!
Personally I'm still looking forward to the new android app, as the current one is pretty crappy.

I'm using the beta app and everything is good but it still doesn't support conversation view.

(I have yet to find any open source android email app which looks as modern as proton's, maybe AOSP email?)

They have also bought [SimpelLogin](https://simplelogin.io), the email aliasing service, and promised that SL would be intgersted in the plus plans when SL Is merged into proton in 2-3 months.
I'm hoping that they keep multiple domain support, even though I doubt it will happen.

As for proton calendar, its usability for me is pretty limited until they enable syncing with the OS on mobile and offer a Caldav server with desktop bridge. If they would also offer contact sync that would be super!
> We look the other way when people are doing things that seem bad, until they pick up a gun, then we blame the gun for the outcome, not the fact that government agencies looked the other way instead of intervention.

This always struck me as silly excuse. The gun nuts are pretty obsessed with personal liberty. Taking their guns is already beyond the pale, so I have a hard time believing they're going to accept being thrown in a sanitarium whenever they do something antisocial like show up at a school board meeting foaming at the mouth about vaccines...
That’s exactly what I intended to cover in my second paragraph (by making the restriction criterion “adult permanent, lawful resident” rather than “adult citizen”)
note: you can't really have 1000 people on a call. It's just a live streaming event at that point. You can use standard live streaming techniques for doing this. Yes, it will have 10-20 second latency (or more), but in large calls, most people don't interact with the speaker.

[Edit: Everyone read ChrisMarshallNY's comment, it's a less terse and more eloquent version of this :)]

My humble belief is that once one understands the inner workings of UIKit, Swift UI is about half of the interactivity of UIKit (read interactivity not as animations or formatting, but actual user controls and inferences from intended actions).

I had requirements to fully understand UITextView, then TextKit and NSLayout, then new ways to interact with text that I have no earthly idea how I would build my interactions in SwiftUI.

In SwiftUI, you get a lot of bang for your buck, but if you want to build something truly remarkable, you need to get your hands dirty and codify your opinions with UIKit.
Cadillac driver here (2021 model). I believe it's one of the very few new vehicles that have a physical button for every feature. Granted there is a lot of buttons, it's very nice you don't even have to use the touchscreen ever if you don't want. I theorize this could be due to the age demographic of majority of their buyers, that they have retained all physical buttons.
I’m of the opinion that lambda-as-in-serverless is an evil. I’m also willing to be proven wrong, and might be in time; I wasn’t fond of certain Docker use cases early on either but now containers are The Good.
Dark Reader and a bunch of lines of CSS via Stylus, functionally I'm fine with it.
Roe vs. Wade has not actually changed. Once it does, we can "circle back" and discuss the real world changes, which I suspect won't be anywhere near as widespread as we are led to believe. What has happened seems like an intentional distraction being played out; predictably enough, the results are exactly what would be expected; citizens provoked by fear of change rush to the town square to let "the other team" no this is "no bueno". But citizens in the street will always be comfortably ignored by those who purportedly represent them.
I'm surprised by the number of German websites (.de) I've encountered this year that don't support HTTPS. I think they're all small businesses or personal sites, but still unexpected.
This! Was fiddling with a Tesla touch screen to do something basic. During those few seconds, autopilot decided to steer me off the road - with no shoulder - at 80 MPH (it was during a sunset). Fortunately, I caught it in time.

After the panic subsided, I decided to learn the voice commands. It seems that each device, now, has its own language, which we have to learn in order to function. A modern tower of Babel.
Hi Simon! I'll definitely consider adding that in. Also, I love Datasette!
Pretty difficult to do guerilla surgeries. Those are regulated jobs and you need to study/finish education to have a license.

Also, let us distinguish “engineers” and say, I’m not picking a fight, “java spring boot developer with 2 years of experience”.

Sure, the analogy is not perfect — e.g. AFAIK there are no subsidies for v4 as there are for fossil fuels.

As far as existential threats go: everybody thinks locally and acts globally in most, if not all of their actions.

And existential threats and mortality are difficult for people to deal with. In fact there’s a whole branch of human activity devoted to that topic (religion).

I don’t mean to reduce the significance of the risk (I dropped my other work and now work in climate repair myself) but I think there is are fascinating and instructive lessons to be learned from this example.
I learnt CSS Grid and CSS flexbox using those froggy game.

The Arabic Numeral System
Does anyone find it odd that the solutions proposed are to fiddle with the method of voting for a delegate rather than de-delegating in favor of directly voting for or against things? Maybe the problem is the left word in "representative democracy?"

I've long loathed Texas' endless parade of constitutional amendments put before the entire state. The matters involved seemed unimportant to me (stuff like allowing railroad widows to collect the pensions of their second spouse). When I think of it in terms of de-delegating decisions, I think "why don't I and everyone else get a direct vote for or against a budget item?"
I don't think this is caused by the voting system. Polarization is a function of where the cultural discourse is at. By culture I don't just mean the arts.

I think it's natural for any culture to go through a time of division, polarization, and conflicting narratives as a culture and the people collectively wrestle with their identity, and try to work out where they stand.

I think it's natural polarization would occur at a time when previous notions of authority and truth are being revised.

I think it's only bad if that "growth process", that any culture must go through periodically, is corrupted / co-opted to artificially maintain a persistent state of division.
credit scores recover quick

More likely, multiple people got in a small room together and wrote it all out. Faster, less hassle, better collaboration and idea generation.
And I recently learnt that they also have the bang searches which makes them much more viable as a replacement for DDG to me. Brave Search, Andi search, and a bit of Yandex at times for some variety in results, makes for a much better search experience than DDG ever did.
Hi HN, I’m the OP and sharing the project I’ve been working on called ‘Never Published’. Additional info on the project is below.

Never Published offers royalty-free images for businesses and creative professionals who are looking for high-quality artistic stock images that are non-stock looking!

For this project my team and I have focused on three key areas to complete an MVP and to ensure that these components are solid before new custom built features are added as a part of our project pipeline.

Our first focus was on the functionality of the website and working with a developer to create a seamless experience in the customer sales journey.

Second, the downloadable product (images) which rely on licensing rights granted to the customer, so we worked with a legal team across the various licensing options, sales process and consistency of documentation when the customer receives their purchased product files.

Third, delivering an exclusive and distinct product library with simplistic and competitive pricing that attributes exceptional, high-quality and graded royalty-free images created and curated using the principles of photography and image making for commercial use.

The library will grow as we continue adding products on a monthly basis. Currently our in-house team photographs and curates, however we do have plans to open this up to a team of contributors to expand on the library’s volume and its diversity whilst supporting great image makers and their craft.

Again, our aim is to ensure that the functionality across the site and licensing was solid so that we can then concentrate on continually delivering more high-quality content.

Thank you in advance for feedback and comments.
>I’m glad you’ve lived the privileged life that has allowed you to think that this was some ascetic choice

I had to do military service too (Switzerland) so you don't talk to a complete stranger -> military prison etc.

But you had the chance not to do it...just saing, and 1999 what war was then? Kosovo conflict.
I stand corrected, then my issues are with the incomplete Sphinx docs I often see shipping with Python libraries.
And it does not. The title is misleading.
Before we even think of tweaking the voting system, it might be best to go back to a simple implementation people trust: paper.

As a programmer, I understand that only us really control the software behind voting system. Most folks don't have the slightest idea how it actually works, and if there's a bug (or worse, a vulnerability) the consequences might ripple nationwide. With paper, you get some failed counts here and there, but nothing major, and such errors tend to average out. And of course, people can understand how it work, and how to make it more accurate and reliable.

Once we go back to paper, a ranking system becomes quite a bit harder to implement. Much easier however is to give a yes/no answer for each candidate. Easy to count, and the end result for each candidate is how many of the voters support them. Throw in a void clause if no candidate manages to get some threshold of support (say 50%), and you even get to take "all politicians are bastard" votes into account (something that ranked choice does not have).

Alternatively, we could could give each candidate a degree of support, ranging from "unacceptable" to "ideal", and elect the candidate with the best median support. Slightly more complex, but quite a bit closer to ranked choice voting, and you keep the "all politicians are bastards" votes.
You need to analyze the organizational landscape to know what your role as a staff engineer really is.

If your manager has sole discretion on your compensation, then you need to be strongly aligned with her goals in order to succeed. If she sees her goals as solely delivery of her projects, then that's what you should work on.

If you work in an organization (like I do) where your compensation is determined by a group of leaders, then you need to look at what the group wants from you and deliver on that. In my group, a big part of that for staff-level engineers is making sure that the overall organization is successful.

Story for me this year: I noticed another team struggling. Their deliverable is really important to my boss 3 levels up, and I have the background to help them get unblocked and be successful. This team works on something completely disconnected from my manager's goals.

I started working with them, and after a month or two told my manager I was working on it. She agreed that it was a good use of my time, and my involvement didn't interfere with other commitments we'd made. I've probably spent about 3 weeks in total on it. At review time, there was widespread agreement that it was the most important thing I've done for the year.

To close - As a staff engineer, you'll see lots of gaps (if you don't see them, you're not a staff engineer). Most of them should be handed off to others. But some of the gaps are things you're uniquely suited to fill, even if it's not precisely in your area of responsibility. They're "not your job" but exactly the right thing for you to be doing. If your role is too narrowly defined, go negotiate with your manager (or better, your manager's manager) to broaden your role.
Not a very modern system if it cannot account for a credit card.

If you’re not using a credit card, you’re:

- Adopting significant risk (debit card protections are not as strong as credit card protections)

- Failing to establish a credit history

- Giving away a significant amount of money.

Credit card transaction fees are included in all prices.

I use a card that gives me 2% cash back on all purchases — effectively, most or all of the transaction fee.
Thanks for sharing this - I'll check it out!

> Tesla also has a buffer after 0% and still some energy after it stop moving.

The Model 3 performance is 80 kWh total capacity (82 kWh on the newer ones).

> We should be moving to smaller battery on light efficient vehicles

No. People will buy the cars they want. If they want the luxury of an Mercedes EQS then that's what they'll buy. If they want the excess of a Hummer EV then they'll buy that too.

There need to be better batteries with greater energy density for a smaller pack weight once decent range is achieved.
