"Arkady Yurievich Volozh is a Russian businessperson with business interests in
IT and technology. He is the founder and the CEO of Yandex. Yandex is the
largest Internet company in Russia, operating Russia's most popular search
engine.
Russian State-owned banks such as Sberbank and VTB are shareholders and
investors in Yandex.

In 2019, Yandex agreed to a restructuring that gave a “golden share” to a newly
formed Public Interest Foundation built to “defend the Russian Federation
interests”. Through the Public Interest Foundation, the Government of the
Russian Federation is able to have a veto over a defined list of issues, such as the
sale of material IP and the sale or transfer of Russian users’ personal data to
foreign companies, both of which are deemed to affect Russia’s “national
interest”.

Yandex is also responsible for promoting State media and narratives in
its search results, and deranking and removing content critical of the Kremlin,
such as content related to Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine.

Volozh is a leading businessperson involved in economic sectors providing a
substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation,
which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of
Ukraine. Furthermore, as founder and CEO of Yandex, he is supporting,
materially or financially, the Government of the Russian Federation and is
responsible for supporting actions or policies which undermine or threaten the
territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine."

Didn't they clearly show bias from the DNC against Bernie? [0]

This also resulted in the DNC apologizing to Bernie. [1]

And did it not result in the DNC chair CEO, CFO, and Communication Director resigning? [2]

With actual email proof, public apology, and resignations it seems to me that there was more than just an aura of corruption.

That would hardly qualify as corruption. The DNC is well within its rights to determine how they wish to conduct their debates. A single question that was not posed in the exact same form would not meet the definition of corruption.

Nitrogen is 70% of the atmosphere but unlike CO2 it's concentration isn't going up in an appreciable way. So if a plant is constraint in nutrients by Nitrogen, it can't make more of those if CO2 goes up. If CO2 goes up it can only make things that require more Carbon and Oxygen, both of which only form very basic structures the plants can use to build. Not nutrients.
This reads more like poor planning than the woes of electric driving.

The drive started without the vehicle being fully charged.

They drove two different paths even though it was round trip.

They did not book stays in hotels that offer onsite charging.

The clickbait title is only possible because they averaged only 4 hours of sleep a night and averaged 4.5 hours charging.

Interestingly they managed to make time to interview people along the way, which gives me the impression they scheduled the charging around interview opportunities rather than efficiency.
Async has been in development for a few years during which the experience wasn't great. The popularity of Rust made it so many people wanted to try it anyway, with a plethora of frameworks being developed and replaced and not working when the next version of futures/tokio/hyper came out.

The experience now that futures are in the standard library and tokio etc are actually stable is much better. Most async libraries are thread-safe, contrary to the JavaScript or Python asyncio worlds, so you are free to call call block_on(func(...)) in whatever thread if that is your preferred coding style and the library doesn't already expose a blocking interface. The low-level "zero-cost" future composition is available to you if you need to squeeze a lot of performance but you absolutely don't have to wrestle with the "monstrosity" if you don't want to.
Does anyone know what the final state of Rust’s async will look like? It seems like everyone is dreading it now but will it ever get to a point that people like writing it?
Sure that's a nice thought.. Then reality comes knocking.

That actually clarifies the whole circus Musk pulled. He announced that anyone not coming back to the office (which obviously does not apply to factory workers) is effectively tendering their resignation. Then Tesla announces just days later that a 10% layoff of salaried workers is going into place. This is typical Musk behavior in that he tries to control narratives by pre-empting them. By sending this email out and then announcing layoffs later, it sets the narrative that it's an employee problem, and not a Tesla or executive problem. From what I saw of some reports of Tesla employees, Tesla doesn't even have enough desks and parking spaces for everyone to come back to. Musk knew what he was doing.
Generally people call things rights even if they are technically privileges. People do that all the time with "right to drive" and others. Even rights can be taken away by the government. It seems that driving as it is treated now is consistent with other many rights when it comes to restrictions and removal of those rights/privileges. There's really no distinction necessary in the context of this discussion given that the function similarly.

"2) my claim was about the justification that people offer for their claimed rights, not the rights themselves."

The definition that you provided says nothing about justification being a part of something being extreme.

"Our collective decisions to keep driving today don't have the same effect on our psyches"

That's because driving is not extreme. It's considered a moderate position and people accept compromises on it. Even the people that say it's a right accept some level of restrictions such as traffic laws, at least from a standpoint of not wanting to be punished.

Simply wanting the freedom to move about by driving is not an extreme position.

> Big-O assumes all "operations" are equally costly.

This is a big misconception about "Big-O". It does not "assume" anything. It's just not what people think it is.

It's an asymptotic upper bound on counting something. In sorting algorithms you count the number of comparisons expressed as a function of collection size. In collection insertion algorithms on some underlying data structure, it's counting some not-very-clearly-defined atomic operations that are being executed when inserting an element.

Where the assumptions come from is if you start using the notation to give performance comparisons and also start assuming things about Big-O that are just not true. But that has nothing to do with "Big-O".

There is a family of symbols, called the Landau symbols, of which Big-O is only one. There is a lot of misuse of the symbol and in many cases what people actually mean is Theta(N) or Omega(N).
You don't need to do the planning ahead of time, your passenger does it on the road on the giant touchscreen. And it's really simple, you're just choosing restaurants and hotels based on availability of charging.
I was a little more interested in composting.
From the text of that article:

"The 2016 Democratic primary wasn’t rigged by the DNC, and it certainly wasn’t rigged against Sanders."
I’d heavily bet against std::list having any kind of “extra capacity” logic, as it would have to be some kind of free list of Node types — best leave that to the general purpose allocator.

I think the list vs vector comparison is fair, as most people are taught to “just use the standard library, don’t be a hero, don’t commit a NIH crime”. I have done this myself at times, but in fairness, mostly when discussing adaptations of existing code, where there were bigger structural issues. And it cannot be repeated enough, that vector is far better than list, even at prepends or random insertions, for a surprisingly large number of elements (it was at least thousands of int32-s when I checked it about a decade ago). Typically the justification for a list is that the workload is prepend/random insert heavy, but in my experience there is more often than not a bound on the size that strongly favors vector.
STL list is great because it the only STL structure you can insert into without potentially invalidating iterators and references since it doesn't call resize. If you want a performant list-alike, you use a deque.
How do you manage this expectation when working in an environment where part of the office is in the physical building and part is fully remote? When we were all in the office (pre-covid), anybody could walk to your desk to have a face to face conversations.

My manager warned us not to deprioritize IM/calls or it could be used to justify reducing remote privileges (since there isn't a good face to face walk-up equivalent when remote).

I personally hated when people walked up to my desk without messaging me first, and I view unsolicited video calls the same way.
Agreed. I'd go a step further, there's a real-world heuristic that this implies.

Initially, prefer to task CPU over memory allocation. Crufty allocation generally will always have a real negative impact felt by the end-user. A low memory footprint is always a win, while going for a (theoretical) fast running time may be effort wasted.
Well, users are obsessed with Async because Rust authors themselves are obsessed with it. The amount of discussions around design and development of Async feature is endless. The common theme is how a normal crappy Go app will become super app with Rust's zero cost async support.

I can understand they chose this path to gain market share by having tons of web services written in Rust. And async might be great fit for it. But now one can't just go around and say 'Oh, Rust async is not for plebs they can continue with something much simpler to fulfill their needs'.
> The most obvious, but least talked about filter is time.

For good reason: there's been a lot of it so far. Even at slower than light speeds, it would be possible for a sufficiently advanced civilization to send probes to ever star in the galaxy (or even colonize it) in just a few million years. So why don't we see any evidence of any prior civilization having done that? It would only take one.
What did I say that you are disagreeing with?

>but I would never consider going on a trip longer than 1 full charge worth of range without mapping out the route.

This represents a level of planning that is far greater than what has been the status quo since the advent of consumer GPS, arguably longer.

> without mapping out the route. There appear to be apps that specifically do this for you instead of just searching for stations along your route as you go and no excuse as to why they didn't do that (other than trying on purpose to make EVs sound bad or being woefully bad at planning).

Having to search for services in advance is a regression to the days of paper maps, road atlas's and printed tourist guides (though in those days people were searching for food/lodging, not fuel, but it's mostly the same IMO).

I think the author was naive to just wing it but anyone pretending the current state of EVs is not a regression is either being dishonest or naively projecting their specific use case (traveling with family, lots of stops, etc) onto everyone.

> I was arguing in a discussion that ArrayList was *always better*

Tsk tsk. A critical rule for flame wars that also applies to mere discussions among common folk is that you should avoid using absolute terms, as it gives your opponent an easy opening. Instead, couch your statements in vague and wishy washy terms like 'usually' and 'often'.

This also helps when your opponent produces a valid counterexample - you can petulantly retreat to safer ground while grumbling about how of course there are occasional exceptions and then, if you wish, you can sidetrack the argument into a debate about how often it really happens. From there you can feign boredom and exit, think up a snarky, mic-drop conclusion, etc.

There isn't anything corrupt about having bias against Bernie any more than it's "corrupt" that DNC leadership has a bias against Donald Trump.

Party leadership is allowed to have preferences; the party isn't the public, it's a party. The primary election's purpose is to show the party who the public favors (because it is, ostensibly, politically-suicidal to run an unpopular candidate).

And in the end, the actual votes favored Clinton over Sanders. These votes may have been influenced by the party leadership suggesting to the rank-and-file that Clinton was a better candidate, but as it's not a general election that's well within their purview to do.

(Whether state machinery should be used to run elections for what is essentially a private political club is a great question that I think people should be asking about the way elections are structured in each state).
Sorry, I didnt get past the paywall so I can only comment on the line I did read.
>Our writer drove from New Orleans to Chicago and back to test the feasibility of taking a road trip in an EV. She wouldn’t soon do it again.
I drove from Seattle to Texas over the course of a couple days in an EV and the times we stopped to charge were perfect. Very low hassle, the sort of extended (30-40 minute) break you tell yourself you'll take to stretch your legs but never do. Think we averaged two stops to recharge each day? Oh and it was built into our route. We didn't really have to think about it.
>Given our battery range of up to 310 miles, I plotted a meticulous route, splitting our days into four chunks of roughly 7½-hours each. We’d need to charge once or twice each day and plug in near our hotel overnight.
The PlugShare app—a user-generated map of public chargers—showed thousands of charging options between New Orleans and Chicago. But most were classified as Level 2, requiring around 8 hours for a full charge.
While we’d be fine overnight, we required fast chargers during the days. ChargePoint Holdings Inc., which manufactures and maintains many fast-charging stations, promises an 80% charge in 20 to 30 minutes. Longer than stopping for gas—but good for a bite or bathroom break.

This is how the "idiots" "didn't do any research". It's not going to help your cause if you get angry at people who do significantly more research than normal to do a road trip, but who are not experienced enough with the intricacies of owning an EV to know just how detailed those plans need to be.
What are the biggest flaws you see with it? Also feel free to link the blog if that covers this. Thanks!
You're implying that the GOP is devoid of corruption. Isn't it always "both sides are corrupt"?

The key thing is that conservatives don't care about corruption itself, just the opportunity to smear their opponents.

I'd be more than fine with even more sunshine exposing the workings of the DNC and addressing what was found. Can you say the same about the GOP?

Edit: I'd like to be proven wrong, so tell me what I missed.

Rigging a primary would, by definition, involve the alteration or removal of votes cast. There is no evidence of this in the stolen emails nor outside the stolen emails.

The above article mentions leaked emails that bashed Sen. Sanders.

That is not an example of corruption.
I enjoyed the beginning of the article because it was actually informative. Once you get to the part where it becomes a blatant smear and misdirection campaign, it loses its interest and credibility. Why does half the entire read just focus on destroying this guys character?

If he actually did get caught with what they say he did, then sure he deserves to go down but it's weird how hyper focused they are on painting this guy as the devil in his personal life. It seems like it's because their isn't any real evidence present to nail this guy. It's all circumstantial and worse, in ways that could very easily be planted/faked.

> With all the information they hold about an account. Which is just the creation date and last connection date. https://signal.org/bigbrother/eastern-virginia-grand-jury/

It doesn't matter. The problem with Signal is that it is vulnerable to being shutdown easily.

So Google or Amazon or where ever Signal is hosted can just shut it down and will receive a request by the authorities to show that it is aiding and facilitating in illegal activities and will blame it on the tons of criminal networks, terrorists, insurrectionists and gangs all using Signal.

Thus, Signal really is a centralized dead end in the long run. Anything that is decentralized or allows self-hosting is the way to go.

These types of comments are equally as tiresome. We get it, you don't like Elon Musk and despise anyone making an argument to the contrary. Glad you could enshrine it in this comment that adds absolutely no value to the conversation.
You could re-phrase that as "doing a long-distance trip in an EV requires meticulous planning with little margin for error and no concessions for novices, which may add hours to your total journey time". Or maybe "if you buy an EV, you will need to re-calibrate your definition of a distant destination".

"Reportedly" means that they've had a report (from Der Spiegel, who claims sources in the German police.) What you're doing here is simply lying. What it seems you want journalists to do is to report what they've heard as truth, and to disguise their sources.

Or are you saying that Der Spiegel isn't a legitimate source and shouldn't be reported on? It's unintelligible.
