People buy smaller cars because fuel is expensive, and repairs for the most popular small cars are cheaper since material costs predominate.

In the US, fuel is inexpensive due to a lack of fuel taxes, food and other house home goods are sold in large containers leading to a cost savings if you can buy them and your big car can transport them, and labor is relatively expensive so repair costs flatten out when comparing car models. Lastly roads are huge so no one feels a pinch driving a big SUV.

That’s basically it, the economics of the US make it reasonable to drive a big car.
> Reading between the lines, I think your view is that the valuable contributors (the extreme outliers) will find a way to contribute regardless of background.

This is you reading in a total strawman.

There aren’t billions that would engage in science — there’s only 800 million in need of food security, total.

Of those, we’d expect only some small fraction to engage in science at all — maybe 8M, of whom a few hundred thousand will make substantial contributions and a few thousand groundbreaking work.

Of course we should help those people — but you’re off by orders of magnitude on your claims. I was objecting to your made up numbers, not whatever “between the lines” nonsense you read in to ignore that point.

And driving a total increase will require more people — because increasing the world by 2B population will drive more results than those 800M ever could. (While also being more realistic than “fix poverty everywhere”.)
If I can solve the logistics of publishing that data, then sure. In its most compressed form it's still of order 100 Gb.

I have a guess, but I haven't actually researched this specific case to be sure.

intoPIX seems to be based in Belgium. I'm not sure exactly what type of patents RED has, but there are types like software patents which don't exist in the EU. Or perhaps it isn't about the type and RED just straight up doesn't have EU patents even if they theoretically could. Combine that with intoPIX (and I haven't verified this) only operating inside the EU, or at least outside of the US. You end up in a situation where RED would have difficulty suing intoPIX, because intoPIX doesn't operate in a jurisdiction where RED holds the relevant patents.

Once Nikon enters the picture, things change. Nikon clearly has US presence.

Of course it could also just be that RED doesn't care about small fish and only started caring now because Nikon has the potential for a lot of revenue.

For many years, Firefox is my development browsers because I thought I would run into perf issue, problematic/weird behaviour more often. But recently I develop on app on Firefox for many months, then test it on Chrome, dang! It's almost 3x slower (rendering lots of dom nodes). So now I've switched to Chrome for development because if it's fast on Chrome it's going to be very fast on Firefox.

> Why should the government actively try to de-value people's savings? Is it a good thing to squeeze elderly retirees back into the work-force?

I don’t want to devalue their savings. I’m in my 50s and looking forward to retiring myself. I want them to have productive savings that grow and provide them with a retirement income. Savings accounts, ISAs, pension funds, stocks and bonds, even property are all productive savings that grow and can provide income in retirement. They help the economy and help savers.

> who gets to allocate my capital? I contend it should be me, you seem to think otherwise

Not at all, it should absolutely be you, we just talking about incentives. The question we’re debating is what should happen to the value of cash you keep in your pocket. Literal cash. Should it appreciate in value or depreciate? Is there a benefit to society either way?

If money itself appreciates in value that’s because someone is paying a cost for that to happen. I don’t think that’s a reasonable expectation. Beyond that, it benefits society if savings are put to economically useful purposes, such as savings accounts and investments. A small amount of inflation incentivises this.

I’m not telling anyone what to do. But on the flip side you can’t tell people what to do either. You can’t tell them what they will or won’t pay you to do, and they’re not going to pay you to keep your money in your pocket, mattress, whatever by inflating the value of cash.

Cash is a financial instrument. You own the notes, but can’t set its value. We all do that collectively, so other people have a say in it. That’s just the nature of it.

I agree. And these resources are not even limited to execution units inside cores.

Another one is bandwidth. On computers with dual-channel DDR4, aligned SSE vectors are delivered from main memory with a single transaction. For ideal scaling from SSE, AVX512 would need octa-channel DDR4, and 4x as much caches.

Another one is waste heat. On modern processors, sustained performance is often limited by thermals. For ideal scaling, AVX512 would need twice as much cooling compared to AVX.

Point like sources can be pointed. That's the whole point. ;)
They can be made to not reach eyes, or other places which are not their destination. This is probably very hard to do well, I think there is only one or two companies trying, but at least it is physically possible.

With radio waves, diffraction makes accurate pointing physically impossible. Depending on the frequency, within few inches to few tens of feet, your energy goes all over the place, directly and through reflections.

And the visible light that goes "everywhere" is not coming from a point source, but from a huge omni-directional source in the sky (sun) that passes through a huge diffuser (atmosphere).
Quick feedback:

German translations are pretty bad and sound like they are done by Google translate 5 years ago :-\
You know, I did that. Firefox is great, but it's using 600mb of RAM on my meager 2012 MacBook Air.

I think it's better on Linux.
The empowered teams can't be a team of only developers. They need to consist of multi-disciplinary skill-sets from the three main areas (Business, Design, Engineering) based on the related domain.
I can only second this. I was asked if I want to do business in German or English and clicked on German. The automated translation was so bad it was out of anything I would consider business worthy.

If I were to recommend such a thing to my clients they would laugh at me. And with every right to do so.

It might be a cool product. I didn't pass the language hurdle to evaluate, though.

It seems like in my daily life I use only three knots and then very rarely I use a couple more. My guess is most people spend all their life on <5 knots. It's a pretty fascinating topic and I like this resource. I use one knot that my life depends on (double 8 for climbing, weekly), the "normal" (double) knot for shoe laces (often) and the small knot for ties (thankfully, not so often). every now and then I go fishing and have to look up some extra knots :P

I'd be interested in recommendations for better shoe-binding knots (other than the old TED talk advice of doing it in reverse).

As an aside...my brain is really bad at doing knots. I have an old book and it's almost impossible for me to work from graphics+text only.

Maybe I got fooled. It was in an article from some newspaper or website and they quoted it, maybe they were fooled by the follower's name too.

The article described Musk responding to a Breitbart article which speciously claims that Gates is funding millions of dollars of attacks on Musk though various "public benefit" companies with "What a dick move" [1]. So it seemed believable in that context.

I use an extension called autoTabDiscard (or something close) that unloads webpages that I didn't access the last 10 minutes, or that doesn't load any tab on startup, but the tabs keep existing in both cases. Then you can setup exceptions as well.

That's an essential for me.
I (ab)use your comment to state what I've observed recently, just that, using your observation for Sydney projected for any other city because anywhere people live in apartments and do not have garages recharging is essentially impossible and in general is impossible to recharge vehicles on scale at least if we do not have a nation-wide smart-grid that tell all connected vehicles how much power they can absorb at any point in time to avoid frequency drops in evening/night for way too high demand.

Such issues are not there YET, because numbers of EVs around are not that much and generally who bought them have garages, perhaps p.v. or something else to recharge at least partially/sometimes them etc. But it's easy to guess on scale.

Also is easy to finds admissions and opinion on that very topic like https://www.motorious.com/articles/features-3/uk-eliminating... or https://www.vice.com/en/article/y3vny5/glorified-electric-go... and so on or essentially "hem, yup, we can't produce EVs for anyone so only few wealthy will get them, others will get just some public transport, and most who anyway get EVs probably get crap at a high price but that's is we can't do better"...

Every time I observe this I see reactions against BUT not data/reasoning/proof of the contrary. Personally I plan to buy an EV IF I found one at a decent enough price, since I have p.v. at home and WFH I can mostly recharge it, that just because I'll imaging in a very near future issues in finding diesel/gas and I'd like to have a backup. But I can't really see EVs on scale while all advertisement state the contrary.

Why would renaming be impossible to solve by a stateless terraform?
In a cloud setup with 3 VMs, and you rename 1 VM from A to B:

Measured cloud setup would have VMs
A + X + Y

New cloud setup would specify VMs
B + X + Y

You can easily identity X and Y as their names go unchanged, A and B would have similar config/metadata, instead of assuming A would be added and B would be removed you can ask the user if a rename happened.

This is not a new problem to solve by the way, this is how database migration tools handle column renames.
LittleSnitch was helpful on Mojave in this regard. However, since Catalina, there are literally hundreds of connections per day from "nsurlsessiond" and "gateway.icloud.com" (and a lot more), with no way to figure out what it is they are uploading/downloading/checking.

That happens whether or not you are logged into icloud/facetime/messages at the same time, or not.

Anyone aware of a way to figure out what nsurlesssiond is downloading/uploading in the background?
You may be right, I was actually just assuming. Nevertheless, in general one has to expect both possibilities.
With pfsense and pfblocker-ng you can just plug in facebook's BGP AS number, it can look up all the subnets in that ASN and block those.

In DC, a lot of the luxury vehicles are provided by corporations, almost all of whom are sited in/around DC to exert influence on the government.

So the people making these sorts of rules will not be affected by them, and they are just making a moat around the luxuries that they want to enjoy so that they have status over the common folk.

Oh that's nothing. In Java I came up with a way to pass config options using method references as keys, so you can write something like:

> Makes one wonder if Tesla's best days are in the past.

Their days of biggest EV market share? Probably. Their best days however? I doubt that.

Compared to other car manufacturers Tesla currently has the following advantages:

- multiple years of technical lead (giga casting, structural battery pack, 4680 cells, ...)

- no corporate debt

- way better gross margins

- much higher production numbers

- a supply chain which is already able to support their high production numbers

> Even if the Cybertruck is delivered in 2023, how can it possibly compete?

All car manufacturers are currently supply constraint when it comes to EVs and I believe that'll still be the case for a few years going forward. While supply already increases, demand seems to increase even more, based on the lead times when buying a new EV. In such a situation every manufacturer will be able to sell every EV vehicle it can produce without having to worry about what their competitors are doing.

Once we reach the point that there is more supply than demand, Tesla can easily lower their prices thanks to their high gross margins to a point where other manufacturers can't compete by price anymore. Once that happens I expect some car manufacturers to go bankrupt, leaving Tesla in an even better position than before.
