What, you think having no car to drive for a couple of days every few months as a Tesla salesperson takes a few days to come and repair your broken Model X that you paid 120k for is not a way to brilliant customer satisfaction?

The fact that the Tesla forums blame my cousin for this (it’s still not clear what they are blaming him for, considering they don’t offer any suggestions about what he should do…maybe they’re blaming him for posting about it and therefore being anti Tesla?) makes it hard to believe that Tesla actually has any incentive to improve. And with the abuse my cousin received online for being horrible enough to ask folks for suggestion would indicate that many simply don’t talk about the BS a they face with their Teslas.

A large part of it is a cult. It remains to be seen how much the cultish behavior can overcome the poor quality once real competitors come into play.

Mongolia is the most 'democratic' state in the area. You don't have to face police corruption (robbers in uniform) or bureaucratic insanity like in man ex-Soviet states. That was very relaxing for me, because I hated the daily encounters with uniformed robbers in Kazakhstan.

And the Mongolians are nomads. So they have a tradition of traveling. Traveling is the most normal thing to do there. As a traveler this makes me somehow feel at home.

The key for Mongolia is time. The country is so big, you need time to explore and to learn how things are working there.

Serious question: what’s the difference? Do Linux distros actually audit packages very much? Supply chain attacks in Linux distros are pretty scary, as you can basically expect them to run install scripts as root.
You can, using Google Takeout:

However you can’t import it back in, so this is a one-way feature at the moment.

A fraction and based on my old Ruby gems memories, fairly out of date.

I remember that somebody posted a reply to a comment of mine here on HN years ago saying that s/he was rebuilding every single gem as deb package before deploying it in production and that was the only sensible way to do. I don't think it adds much to security unless they also read all the code, but it's a lot of work that none of my customer is going to pay me for. I also probably don't want to start a profession of deb builder for Ruby gems.

Yes, we can all "just" make it ourself, still nice when others make it.

And Toyota and Honda are interesting because they are Japanese companies who were pushed by the government to ignore EVs in favor of hydrogen vehicles.

The reason was simple. Most of the politically powerful Japanese companies are huge conglomerates who make a lot of money in heavy industry areas where until a few years ago hydrogen was an obviously better choice than electric powered motors, which meant that there was a lot of pressure on the Japanese govt to put pressure on the car industry to align in the same direction.

This values capital over labor to a far too large extent. The value of a (successful) company is overwhelmingly dominated by labor - including the labor of the founders and CEOs, to be clear - not by original capital investments. But, ownership is only afforded to those who contribute capital, and ~0% to those contributing labor (this does vary between companies, as some do offer equity as part of the labor contract, but typically only to certain employees; its very unlikely the cleaning person will be offered any equity, for example).
My question is what is that reference index? Tether is so large that the reference can’t be any of the big established crypto exchanges because they might be incentivized to “halt trading” to let the market “stabilize” rather than actually let it breakdown.

I think the supercharger network might be a significant asset, but I’m not sure what about their IP is so unique.

No, but if you made photocopies of all the pages, rearranged and sold them it would be. Modifying software almost always involves copying. Some (older) technologies like punched cards allow modification without any copying. But if you're loading firmware from a device onto your laptop and using an editor, there are plenty of copies being made throughout the process.
How frequent are the failures? It costs a lot less than $20 to repair a broken power supply, but if you break less than $5000 worth of power supplies per month you're not breaking even on the technician not even counting the management overhead.

I don't think small cost savings like that are going to be implemented simply because it makes the operation more complex without landing any manager a big fat bonus.

Unless I'm grossly underestimating the failure rate of those supplies?

I think cloud gaming only takes off when the games are built specifically for this use case.

Right now, streaming gaming consists of encoding GPU output, relaying player inputs, and praying everything in between doesn't notice the player isn't in the same room anymore.

Think about how much compute and memory resources are wasted because we are running thousands of nearly duplicate gaming environments with wildly inconsistent utilization throughout. How much latency and resource consumption could be shaved off if the game was aware of its circumstances and engineered for this purpose?
The Largest Known Prime by Year
"Closed-source" and "industry secrets" are holding gamedev back big time. We get away with many practices that'd be considered backwards by a web developer even 10 years ago, and we have no viable solutions to many gamedev-specific problems. This in turn leads to just the same stuff being re-made again and again since like 2005 or so.

> You have to be able to architect your application to send all write traffic to a single process ...

Counter-point: sqlite's sister project and SCM, the Fossil SCM, is a self-hosting sqlite client application and has been since 2007. Every hit on the fossil-scm.org website is its own standalone fossil process accessing the same copy of the same db file, all while the developers are actively pushing and pulling changes to/from that same db and while half a dozen or so folks are logged in to its /chat room (each instance of which is long-polling that same db 24/7).

In 14 years of using that db i've encountered _maybe_ two locking errors.

Similarly, sqlite3's own forum is a fossil instance hosting a single sqlite3 repository.

That all writes "have" to be channeled through a single manager is demonstrably not the case.

> Do Linux distros actually audit packages very much?

It varies widely depending on the distro.

Debian is the the most strict on review process but also on screening the volunteers doing the work.

Yet, most popular distros has been very effective at blocking a large number of supply chain attacks over the last 20 years.
> diesel engines will burn a wide range of flammable liquids

Rudolf Diesel's engine will indeed burn lots of things to produce power. But the diesel engine in your 2022 car isn't just Mr Diesel's machine with nicer bodywork, it has been carefully fine-tuned for efficiency, ride, emissions and other considerations, including by using self-lubricating fuel injectors. If you use the wrong fuel on a good day you destroy those benefits and on a bad day you're also destroying the expensive engine itself.

For your ears only: What’s behind Havana syndrome
This is actually a really interesting situation. Carbon-14 resides only in organic matter, and so a lot of stone age artifacts found can only be dated based on what surrounds it. Humans have a tendency to dig down to bury organic matter, which makes it very difficult to understand if the C14 readings are associated with what artifacts.

So while we can reasonably ascertain the age of (organic) artifacts, it does not answer the questions being asked.

I know a construction worker, a recruiter and a mechanical Engineer, among other random professions, that moved to JS without much trouble. It somehow seems overwhelmingly that it's other fellow devs that have trouble with getting started JS.

TBF right now JS is in transition from commonjs to ESM, and we all believe for the better, but this transition period does yield some strange issues like the article said, for instance I hope/expect that "Warning: To load an ES module [...]" will be default in the near future so we won't need that warning anymore.

Also knowing JS enough, if I see "SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module" coming from a package I'd know that the package is wrong, at which point I would just try to find other of the 2M+ packages, open the JS file to see how it works if I'm really interested, open an issue or assume the project is just broken (which just happens, not all packages are well built).

In practice, yes. Because you're just pushing the backing question on to them; banks rely on withdrawals being de-correlated. Not everybody takes their money out at once. A single bank-sized account ruins that model.

Also, the larger it gets, the bigger the money laundering question gets. "We're providing seventy billion dollars of financial services to unknown parties" is not a sustainable position with a reputable bank. Tether have already got banned from several banks and are being very cagey about who they bank with.

Thank you for your comments.

If I summarize your comments correctly, the weak point is the vote pool manager.

I agree that the vote pool manager is an issue, but the paper and the presentation present a web-of-trust technique to build vote pools in a decentralized way.
So then there is no vote pool manager (or state, for that matter) anymore.

I considered the problems with vote pool and vote conduction separately.
The motivation to do so was that indeed in many countries the paper ballot registry permit entrance to the voting booth based on passport.
In Germany for instance, you have to show your passport in order to vote. And then two students have a list on which they strike through your name.
That could be as well done in a TLS email system but the point is: When we do things digitally, we suddenly impose far higher restrictions on security.
I understand and respect that. But, the vote pool is something that exists regardless of the voting procedure (paper, digital, mail,..).

Exchange rates affect inflation for imports, but not for domestic goods. So varying exchange rates by 5% might only change inflation by 1-2% (depending which inflation metric you use).

Like many things in macroeconomics, the exchange rate / inflation relationship should be true in equilibrium. But several things are out of equilibrium right now due to supply chain disruptions and a demand surge after the pandemic.

Some distros ensure that hundreds of thousands of users deploy and use the same packages consistently before making a distro release.
