> If powerwalls are that great, it should be more cost effective to install giant banks of them in cheap warehouses outside major metros since you'll have economies of scale on installation and maintenance.

This works only if the electrical grid has the ability to consume back your stored power. Most electrical grids in the US would have problems doing that.

For example, UCSD has their own generating facility; however, SDG&E was sufficiently backward that UCSD was unwilling to go through the grief necessary to put energy back into the grid. Therefore, UCSD only does load shifting or disconnects the campus from the grid during rolling blackouts.

Because of the poor energy grid transport, storage batteries make the most sense when you can consume the stored energy locally to minimize your grid consumption during high energy prices--ie. you have a high-rise office with lots of air conditioning or a manufacturing facility.
You have a bad manager who happened to be non-technical. I've had plenty of bad technical managers too.

A manager's job is not to be more technical that you, it's to manage multiple parts of a project and it's people. Of course they know what they are talking about- but often they have the people skills to get past the interviews.
I have my first hour booked Thursday lunch (I took a few hours lessons in school as part of the Air Cadets but lost the log book). I've also started playing Flight Simulator. All I've managed to do there is wreck a few F-18s :( What planes are you flying? Something more realistic to your lessons?

Have you ever been asked for PC help from normal, non-technical users?

"Oh, I might have thrown that away because I needed disk space."

"I don't know, I just click OK on everything."

"I had to install Flash Player."

"I have a new taskbar that I can't get rid of."

"Oh yeah I think I had to disable antivirus to get this game to play. Now my laptop is really slow."

"I can't log in to my bank anymore."

etc.

I like the freedom of PCs, but they're not great as far as protecting you from user error, and not making mistakes requires a good deal of knowledge and concentration.

Although I do not use VPN for any illegal purpose, I pay for it so that
1. My internet provider would not know which sites I am visiting.
2. My sites would not know what is my actual location.

This prevents them from creating my profile and helps me protect my privacy. (I hope so).

I have made a concious decision that I would rather trust a VPN like Mullvad than my internet provider or websites.

As someone who is in the 'geyser' category, I'll split the difference. Much of what determines how creatively one feels about oneself depends on how they themselves define it. Often the lens is some musical/artistic pursuit where the measurement is somewhat arbitrarily tied to someone(s) famous, which can produce a bad relative sense of self.

I have friends who artistically really have fairly mundane tendencies, but as chefs/cooks, mechanical tinkerers, etc they have all manner of (insert proper cliche here, a la "out of box") creative thinking.

But often they don't see those skills as "creative" so the domain parameters and how they are expressly defined matters a lot.

This is a bad faith argument, but I'll respond: 150km/h is not arbitrary.

In most Europe, highway speed-limits are between 110km/h and 130km/h [0] give or take 40km/h to 20km/h to get out of a dangerous overtake and 150km/h should be more than enough for most cases.

Notice I added (consistently) for clarity, there are very rare cases where one needs to accelerate, but I find it very hard to justify a car going almost twice the highway speed limit for 30 minutes non stop.

Have you ever been on I-10 in west Texas or New Mexico? Nothing but straight, flat blacktop and little traffic. 150km/h (93 mph for my fellow Americans) is kind of slow for that stretch. Granted it is 8 mph above the posted speed limit, but nobody really pays attention to that.

Advice needed for backing up and hosting large amount of files
Some of you may know Hong Kong has been attacked by China and most of the pro democratic media companies have shut down.

A number of us have been working hard to backup whatever we can and some oversea universities thankfully would allow hosting on their private library domain.

However I also would like to host these files on a public domain, just to ensure more people can revisit on these events in the future.

I am considering to start a very basic category based (eg event based) website, with text and picture files, while video files (close to 6tb) will be uploaded to censorship resistant sites.
And a torrent file that contains all files in that particular page.

It will be ran by my own fund/donation with monero.

What kind of option do I have? I am guessing it wouldn't be safe for me to self hosting, given the nature of these files.

If someone can give me a pointer, that will be great.

Thanks!
I'm not sure why this is the consistent take. We have e-scooters and bikes with limiters on speed, why would this be materially different than cars?

It's not like it needs to slam on the brake, it just needs to disengage acceleration past a certain speed. This isn't new grounds for tech and it is _currently_ deployed on our streets.

I'm not sure what the panic over this is, if anything this is a good thing - why should passenger vehicles go 200+ km/h anyways? Why isn't a more reasonable limit imposed, for cars that spend 99% of their time in an urban centre? What actual road is engineered to even support that kind of speed?
Thank you for the link. Wow, that was sad.

Most comments in this thread comments on the fact that Europeans are loosing their freedom do speed, and that they will not be able to drive fast.

But that's just the title of an Australian website.

In the article, and in the actual law, this is just about a *warning* to the driver, that can optionally be coupled with the cruise control, and that *can be overridden* by the driver.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_speed_assistance#I...

Basically all cars manufacturers today already have that technology. What this law means is that the car maker can no longer make this system an overpriced option when selling the car.

A better idea would be to mandate black-boxes so if you do get pulled over there is no contest on whether or not you were speeding or made a full stop at the stop sign. You can use that as evidence and it can be used against you as well. This way, when I am driving on 85mph limited road under ideal conditions and little traffic I can pass other cars doing 100mph or more to get past the current pack and stay under 90 till the next pack. The right lane is for driving speed limit, left lanes are for driving past the limit while passing until you merge back on the right lane(s).

In Texas at least the speed limit is "whatever is safe" (you have to obey posted signs but you also have an obligation to drive faster or slower as safety demands it, as can be proven in court)

Driving the speed of traffic is safer than driving the speed limit. Or what about when you’re seeking shelter during a tornado warning or bringing someone to the hospital. Or maybe you just want to get away from a road raging a-hole.

People die all the time on roads it’s true. Enforcing a zero tolerance policy for speeding wont stop that. It will have many unintended consequences.
>Are there situations where using a VPN (#3) is warranted

Anonymity and therefore privacy. An ISP-assigned IP address reveals a lot of information about you. With a court order it can be traced back to you. Suppose a dissident wants to publish information adverse to the government, there's a situation.

Please see the 10th amendment. "Freedom to speed" is reserved for the states to decide. However, like the Federal Government has done in the past (the since repealed National Maximum Speed Law), it may attempt to persuade states by withholding some, but not too much funding (South Dakota v. Dole).

I moved from the Netherlands (where I was born) to Germany, and I mostly use my VPN to bypass the location block on video from Dutch public broadcasting.

It's interesting. We were mostly funding at the PhD level, and in computer science.

I hereby declare that if I'm ever going to be stuck in a trolley for my entire life, I do NOT want the lever pulled. Toss me a smartphone charger and my life wouldn't even be that different, day to day.

As a compatibilist, I don't know what to do with level 28 ("Oh no! A trolley problem is playing out before you. Do you actually have a choice in this situation?

Yes, it's referring to Internet-only consumer brands like Bonobos, Casper, Warby Parker, Dollar Shave Club, etc. (Note that all of these expanded beyond DTC eventually.)
I'm not otherwise familiar with it, but the landing page linked describes Pact as 'a Turing-incomplete smart contract language'. Lurk could be used to implement smart contracts (with some glue connecting it to a blockchain — as we plan to do for the FVM), and we believe its characteristics will allow interesting applications in that domain. However, it's not inherently a 'smart contract language'.

It looks like Pact considers Turing-incompleteness a benefit, since it makes it easier to reason about the cost of programs in a blockchain context. I don't see mention of zero-knowledge or succinct proofs, which are some of the more 'interesting' features of Lurk. For example, in a blockchain context, costs associated with program running time are less relevant for Lurk programs executed on chain because verification costs aren't affected by the running time of the program. All proofs created by a concrete instance of the language are verifiable in constant time. This is an example of how Turing-completeness and succinct proofs provide complementary benefits.

It looks like Pact has a Lispy syntax and immutable data, so they seem to have that in common.
No, the 10th Amendment doesn't guarantee you the right to speed. The closest thing would really be the 9th Amendment, but even that doesn't imply a positive right to speed -- the strongest argument would be that nothing forbids a right to speed, which in turn must be justified as an actual right. Which, in fact, it is not.

(What you're describing has nothing to do with speeding under the law, which doesn't care whether different states have different maximum speeds. Speeding isn't a Federal crime, and when we're talking about it the sole thing we're talking about is the individual State laws that describe speeding in the US.)
This is a bit preposterous. First off, do you know how speeds are set? Civil engineers build a road, and then figure out the 85th percentile speed for that road based on sample data collected. [0]

That's a couple things:

1. Not based on any actual design criteria for the road

2. Assumes that 85% of drivers are somehow more knowledgeable than the engineers who are supposed to be designing our roads and transportation.

The claim that you should be always able to go 5-10mph above the limit seems to be a mythos invented in and ingrained in the fabric of the American psyche. Better approaches exist than to just pick a popularity consensus from a sample of random drivers in a study (who are predisposed to going faster, often because the study is done before full levels of traffic set in).

Probably because they got caught abusing enterprise certificates to sideload a spyware app:

"Facebook has been using their membership to distribute a data-collecting app to consumers, which is a clear breach of their agreement with Apple. Any developer using their enterprise certificates to distribute apps to consumers will have their certificates revoked, which is what we did in this case to protect our users and their data."

That puts it in perspective. Thanks for the reply and for taking the time!
30% is almost 1/3 of the app price! It is higher than income tax in most countries. It is stealing money from developers because their app is not successful due to being released on App Store, it is successful because it is a great product and people would buy it on whatever store it would be available. Developers were just unable to publish it in another store or use a different payment processor with lower fees.

Things like this take away not only freedom but also normalise and encourage a condition of continuous subservience. Those in power want everyone to live a sterile, "healthy" life under their control, one with neither risk nor personal freedom.
