There's no evidence of that. I could just as easily make the claim that without Tesla we'd have had those cars sooner.
It is astonishing to me that anyone thinks signature matching is a good idea. It’s incredibly subjective, and I have no idea what my own signature from years ago looks like.

I’m pretty sure anyone buying a scooter would also be paying sales tax, plus taxes on fuel and electricity.

The only difference is a property tax of 2.5% assessed every year.

That being said, I would be surprised if this 2.5% property tax didn’t apply to car rental companies cars as well.
yeah that seems insane
After going on a number of long road trips in different electric vehicles, the bigger thing to beat is Tesla supercharger network. Electrify America locations just aren't as well spaced out and about every other charging station seems to have a broken charger. While it wasn't a problem for me, they also don't have enough chargers at each station.
I don't get why these aren't free-for-all. You abandon property on the sidewalk, seems like littering to me at best (something worse if you're doing it as part of some coordinated effort or plan). In most jurisdictions, you lose your claim to trash once it's discarded. So....

Same goes for vinyl. I love techno music from the 90th. It seems that there is an abundance of vinyl that magically survived 20 years of niche existence.

Especially records from the legendary Harthouse label, seems to be ubiquitously available. Harthouse was famous for its limited edition policy and restricted selling of its records. They were very selective and that's how the famous "sound of Frankfurt" was born: access to Harthouse records was limited, and distribution took mainly place here in Frankfurt. It was tough back then to buy certain records even in the famous Delirium store.

Nowadays you simply place an order in the Internets...

Yes, individuals just as mistaken as those who claim fraud is rampant claim there is not fraud. People make those kinds of mistaken statements all the time. How about "most reasonable people who understand the process and have spent a little bit of time examining how it works"? I thought that was closer to the standard in discussions on HN, not "some rando on Twitter spouting off", but I guess not.

It is not speculation that there are people who look for election fraud (and then prosecute it when found). And folks do get caught/prosecuted for just about every election cycle, so "all the time". And the links demonstrate that. I may have expounded on that a bit but the language is not speculative except maybe the portion about whether or not there is enough to make a difference. That is my opinion, but heavily based on the reading on this topic I have done, checking claims from a wide variety of sources, parties, etc. I make no claims to expertise but I do believe the information I have shared is accurate to the best of my ability and folks can do with that what they will (hopefully spend their own time actually making sure they are not misled).

Funny as I've seen iPad users complain that their iPads are getting too much like Mac OS. At it's core Mac OS is not getting iOSified. Some elements are borrowing ideas from the other platforms. Some things that have been in need of change for a while are getting addressed. I think it is a good thing that Mac OS is finally getting some TLC.
true > 5

> Since one of the operands is a number, JS tries to convert the other one to a number too. `false` converted to a number yields 0, which is not bigger than 5 — finally, something that makes sense!

I hate this converging of touch interfaces and desktop interfaces. I get that it's easier than ever to share codebases between your desktop and mobile app, but all you get out of this trend is interfaces that are neither good for touch nor for desktop. They're just... passable and occasionally annoying for each.

It's why I'm against the idea that so many have put forward of bringing macOS to the iPad. It just means that macOS will be forced into being a touch-first OS (since many people use iPads without keyboards, so every interaction now needs to be doable without one) and it'll just be a worse experience for a keyboard and mouse setup.
> Do you think kids should have recess? If so, for what purpose?

Sure, for the same reason that adults take coffee breaks. This doesn't seem to contradict what I said. In fact it's a very clear delineation between recreation and work. The problem is when children (or adults) behave as though they're on recess when they're supposed to be working.

> Or, what do you think of Montessori education?

I'm no expert, but it doesn't seem as though the educator/pupil ratios required to make it work are scalable.
This is very cool. I like that it doesn't use a build process nor code generation. And especially that the project doesn't need to re-implement parsing and type inference.
Almost all of these companies have a single business model. Regulation arbitrage.

They break laws and regulations and then count on either having those changed in hindsight or having a valuation as a result of breaking those laws and regulations that is much greater than the fine they will negotiate down later anyways.

That’s the Uber model. Along with passing on unwitting costs to their employees, and not paying them enough because they call them gig workers.

From the article:

>>Polaris pretends to be a cache server

De facto, it is a cache server, with the associated performance decrease. Isn't the main purpose of caching to improve performance?

>>We deploy Polaris as a separate service so that it will scale independently from the production service and its workload.

Assuming the scaling is horizontal, so then, to synchronize among the service instances, what do you do? Create another meta-Polaris service?

The scooters were never abandoned. They had GPS and a whole network of people to service them. At best they were "mislaid". See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost,_mislaid,_and_abandoned_p...

Dumping scooters in the street is much more akin to a public nuisance if you want to get litigious.
I graduated high school 1980. Started taking mainframe computer classes in 1981, family got an original IBM PC when they came out. What repeatedly blows my mind is the expansion of storage. A 300 Megabyte removable CDC hard drive was the size of a washing machine. Nothing was a gigabyte anything, the largest drive in the whole place was a 900 Meg beast.

I used to have a keychain with a collection of <8G drives and i'd estimate how much more storage on my keychain compared to my data center. With the large flash drives I'm getting, I estimate that the flash drive collection with higher capacity drives (the smallest they stock in the supply cabinet at work is 32G) has more storage than my entire backup tape vault in 1987 and there is probably as much duplicated data in both.
I wonder who evaluates how much those scooters are "worth." Like, where does the $6 million figure come from? As the tax office points out, how would you even sell $149k in rental scooters? Who is the market for seized Bird scooters?
Yeah, if you sort by closeness, this is the closest word.
So we can run unmodified TypeScript code without needing to bundle inside Node.JS and other implementations of JavaScript such as JS Core.

By allowing but ignoring types, you get the best of both worlds - optional type checking and runtime compatibility - without further compilation.

Frankly I think of this feature as a Node.JS feature and a reduce-duplication feature. You can store and run the same TS syntax in a file with a .JS extension.

Today, I often find TypeScript samples that I copy into JS projects and then have to painfully remove the TypeScript bits to get it to run. This fixes that. Your IDE can benefit from reading the types and tell you about errors - that’s where you can fix them anyway.

If you want <script lang="TypeScript" … /> to work, with compile type checks and everything, that’s a different feature?

Yeah, I don’t completely get this one either, but the way we are raised is that national ID is somehow a slippery slope towards federal agents wandering the street demanding “papers, please.”

Interestingly enough, the intersection between those who would advocate for national voter ID requirements and those who would fundamentally oppose a national ID is very large.

"collaborative" "Rust" "code editor" "CRDTs" is very reminiscent of Xi Editor by @raphlinus which shared all of these traits. Xi was abandoned with the conclusion that CRDTs aren't suitable as a basis for text editing interactions, or at least that implementation wasn't.

Is Zed related to Xi in history or as inspiration? Why are you confident that Zed will be able to overcome the issues that blocked Xi's advancement?
> but development (of SLT) feels like it moves at a snails pace.

This is how it's always been I think; their model.
I can see that. One can argue that the “difficulty” is front loaded. If or not you can identify the list of “context” is local. I guess you can probably come up with complicated dependencies and argue it’s hard to capture the dependencies and I would agree with you.

Now getting back to the “what’s really hard about cache invalidation” part. Even with a much simpler model. Say you just have a k/v store, no joins, nothing. Is cache invalidation simple in that case?

I went into details about why it’s still insanely hard. And the big example at the end might help make that point.

And this is one level beneath challenges from tracking dependencies, and I argue that’s what makes cache invalidation hard.

Now going back to your example with complicated dependencies. Maybe TTL is a better solution. With many dependencies, any changes from the dependency list might trigger invalidation. At some point, just doing TTL, would be simpler.
I suspect it's 99% of dollars because property tax on houses is really easy to track down, but some other property taxes would be more fluid (especially if "off the books" in some matter).

This is clever. Most chips tsmc sells are low speed, low power random ICs needed for misc parts of the board. It allows them to appear to be doing good while maintaining a valuable market.

I'd argue its a public good, its an alternate mode of transport that is very useful and reduces the number of car trips and their associated negative externalities. Certainly scooters take up less space than parked cars which seem to have been grandfathered in and getting rid of parking is fiercely opposed.
They don’t specify what the headline means and I can’t see a link to the survey questions or data. Feels like an ad rather than true research.
American "salads" are BS.

* BS Leaf (some worthless lettuce)
* Mostly filler of BS Leaf
* Poor in vegetables
* Poor in seeds / nuts
* Frequently small or cheap protein
* A 'shelf stable' dressing for flavor

Yes, I've _considered_ making a salad at home, but by the time I buy ingredients I either have to eat the same for half a week in a row to try to use them up before they go bad, or just outright overpay.

No, I can't go out and just buy one. Most places (there might be 1 or 2 out of like 30-40 restaurants 'car drive') near me only make a 'BS salad'.

What I could really use is a sort of 'ghost kitchen' that takes relatively simple recipes based on bulk ingredients that are in stock at fair prices and makes a meal. Or maybe even just reusable snapware packs individual ingredients at sane sizes.
I think a fundamental stumbling block for a lot of AI critics is a lack of concept of "universal function approximation". NNs map inputs to outputs. Period.

Theory of mind (or embodiment, or motivation, or "consciousness") really has nothing to do with task capability. The important questions to ask are "Is this task (and its strict definition including inputs and outputs) sufficiently analogous to what a human might do? Why or why not?".

You could argue whether or not hooking together (enough of) an amalgamation of function approximators could emulate what we think of as General AI - but I think while you're busy saying it's impossible, someone with a supercomputer farm is going to do it and get useful work done.

also, giving people money directly with stuff like unemployment and stimulus checks is extremely stimulative compared to say building a bridge.

massive supply shocks didnt help either. but they govt knew there was supply shocks and increased demand anyway. despite warnings by democratic economists. (we just found out yellen herself had misgivings about the 1.9T price tag)
You're correct, although Qt attempts to do fake native widgets on Win / Mac, and given how relatively lightweight it is compared to Electron, it's understandable how it became a obviously point of contrast with the latter, which doesn't even pretend to be native. Given a choice between the two I will obviously take fake native widgets over nothing.
This is pretty nifty.

My Finnish perspective on cold. Our seasons are not as extreme as in the Midwest, but our culture has adapted to cold winters by necessity.

The winter clothes you wear when traveling from one indoor place to another are not appropriate for extended outdoor use, and the other way around. Many people need years or even decades to accept that they have to dress differently for the outdoors. Until that, they often think that cold temperatures are automatically unpleasant.

Freezing temperatures are rarely a problem as such. Wind and humidity can make them a problem. Inland forests tend to be more pleasant than open coastal areas in the winter.

Darkness makes everything much worse. Snow makes everything much prettier.

Finnish residential areas almost always have forests with walking trails nearby. I haven't been to the Midwest, but my impression is that American urban planning doesn't like leaving large undeveloped areas everyone is free to roam near developed areas. That often leaves the residents with nowhere to go by foot.

It was just a random example, you can literally pick any level in any number of abstraction stacks that exist and make the same analogy.

Sometimes it becomes necessary to know how the level below works. That doesn’t mean it’s a requirement to be affective at the level above.
Why is the marginal cost important?

Cellular networks have enormous upfront costs.

They also aren't particularly profitable (at least by GAAP standards with how they do depreciation).

It doesn't matter. You're mostly paying for the windmill...

A bit off topic, but the actual geometry of a bike noticeably affects its stability. It is my understanding that the head angle (the angle from vertical of the pivoting part of the fork) and the fork offset (the distance between the front axle and the center axis of the fork) affect how stable the bike feels to ride.

Subjectively, my new gravel bike is considerably less stable than my road bike, and my road bike wasn't as stable as my tri-bike. The road bike we easy to steer and I could easily ride it with my hands off of the handlebars. The less stable feeling gravel bike on the other hand feels quicker to steer, but I wouldn't try to ride is without using my hands.
