You're restating the article's point. Naive DRY says make the dumb analyzer happy by abstracting out the coincidental similarities. If you work in a place that recognizes that this can be a red herring, then great, but a lot of developers and teams don't make room for that nuance. That is what the article is arguing against.
If I was worried about this offsetting purchases of Chevy Malibus, then maybe yeah? But they are still going to produce significantly less CO2 than their actual competition.

In the long run, manufacturers making all of their halo cars ostentatious EVs is a good thing. Offroad car bros are not one wholesome lecture away from switching to a bicycle. Let's let car makers make electric cars cool and then focus on actually providing better sources of electricity.
Cartoons don't look real and yet they are a useful medium. VR doesn't have to be real. VR just has to be better than regular phones.

Why would people leave home? With VR, there is no need for transport or additional real estate. The market will make sure that the average person won't be able to afford leaving their home.

I remember I was very excited about leaving Microsoft for Theranos when they were on the rise (before WSJ publications). I thought it would be a great opportunity to apply my expertise (machine learning) to their application.

But then I researched them and saw war criminal (Kissinger) on their board and total lack of people with domain/business expertise in the area. I decided not to join.

Always do your research on potential startups before jumping on board.

My observation is that in many countries people want to drive big cars but only in US non-negligible fraction of population can afford it: combination of 5th highest median income in the world, low (relative to the EU) fuel (and electricity) prices and availability of parking for large cars. A state can counter this by higher taxes, but looks like support for this is not broad enough.
I didn't fall into the trap. Objective reality isn't political. The total number of people killed in nuclear accidents divided by TWh generated is pretty objective.

Please share your math. At $15M to launch 50 v1 satellites costing $250k each to build, they are looking at $320k per satellite

At $110/mo with 500k customers, they can afford to launch roughly 170 satellites per month. That is about break-even for their average launch cadence over the last 3 months.

It isn't a BGAN terminal competitor until and unless the intersat mesh rolls out though.

At the moment it's a competitor for specialist yacht 4G packages, and whilst they're also eyewateringly expensive to anyone benchmarking them against mobile phone contracts, Starlink certainly isn't undercutting them.
“ Comparing larger vehicles, the original Hummer H1 emits 889 grams of CO2 per mile and the new Hummer EV causes 341 grams, demonstrating that behemoth EVs can still be worse for the environment than smaller, conventional vehicles”

So 1/3 the emissions of a normal hummer… I don’t think the normal hummer owner is going to ever switch to a sedan so that seems like a major improvement

If a scam involving high-up US[1] people (Kissinger was on the board) wants to involve you, here's a table for what will happen depending on your intended role:

Co-conspirator (everyone else organizing it): Nothing

Front person who talks directly with the higher-ups (Holmes): You'll get dragged through the media, but the high-ups won't let you get ruined lest everyone else see it and refuse to work with them next time they're looking for someone.

Axe-man who does the front person's dirty work (Balwani): You'll get thrown under the bus, because after working as the axe man for a few years, you've absorbed all the direct personal anger and discarding you means getting rid of part of the anger.

Peon (Theranos employees): You'll be hounded on the basis of your boss's guilty paranoia even if you want to comply and take home a paycheck, and when it all comes down you'll be out a few years of your life with nothing to show for it. Of course, this is no worse an end than what awaits employees at cultlike startups with bad management, except for the fact that you might unwittingly become a directly culpable axe-man bit by bit without noticing what you're becoming inseparable from.

[1] If the high-ups aren't enmeshed within the governing body you're beholden to, they can't protect you even if you're an equal co-conspirator or a front person they might need another one of in the future, and this ranking doesn't apply.
Reading through the code/docs it looks like you can subscribe to individual records (database rows) or collections (tables), is this correct? In your Records.getList method, you have filter functionality that would be nice to subscribe to (ie. subscribe to changes in "demo" collection where totalComments > 10). Subscribing to a specific result set seems like it could scale better than notifying subscribers of all table changes, which then get filtered in the subscribe() callback func in the SDK. Very cool work!
By default, China considers all ethnic Chinese to be Chinese nationals.

>In regards to the de facto practices of the Chinese government, Kris Cheng wrote in Foreign Affairs that "Beijing presents nationality as an elaborate legal question, but in practice the answer is simple. Only one rule applies: If you have ever held or could have held Chinese citizenship, you are a Chinese national unless Beijing decides you are not. And even if you were born abroad but you're of Chinese descent, Beijing still feels as if it owns you.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_nationality_law

China also requires all Chinese nationals to spy when asked.

>As long as national intelligence institutions are operating within their proper authorities, they may, according to Article 14, “request relevant organs, organisations, and citizens provide necessary support, assistance, and cooperation”.

I think Starlink is looking for more money. They've raised prices on everyone 11% after about a year. They've introduced Starlink RV at a 23% premium over their regular Starlink service (and a 36% over the original Starlink price point).

I think Starlink doesn't want to use too heavy a hand with customers using their equipment not as intended (as is the case with most companies), but it does look like they're trying to increase their average billings.

I'd guess that they're trying to pick up a lot of commercial business. While it only covers coastal areas at the moment, it'll cover the North America/Europe/North Africa/Asia parts of the ocean in 6 months and substantially everywhere in 9 months. For a shipping company looking to replace their old-school satellite service, $10,000 for equipment and $5,000/mo is probably nothing. For every rich person with a yacht, that's basically nothing. It seems like a great way for Starlink to grab a lot of additional revenue in areas where there won't be a lot of congestion - and from people who are used to paying much more outrageous rates.

And they haven't said that they're going to be heavy handed with people grabbing a $600 Dishy and putting it on their boat by the coast. Maybe they will be, but we haven't seen that yet.

I'd also note that it's likely that the equipment is a lot better to withstand the motion and environment of being at sea. These are going to have to withstand a lot of salt-water air and spray while maintaining their motors in good working order. They'll probably also need to be rated for a longer lifespan given the amount of movement the motors will be doing compared to a stationary one (not just the travel of the vessel, but also the waves).

I'd guess that Starlink is assuming that small boat owners will just grab a regular Dishy and service and Starlink will ignore it as long as they're relatively near land. This will add 45x the revenue for those who can afford it - shipping companies, rich people with yachts, etc.
Companies should also remove your trading window when you exit the company.
Arguably that’s why you need legislation to more strongly dissuade buying a ridiculous car like that via taxes or whatever. If you leave it to individual choice there will always be plenty of people who don’t care about the costs they’re imposing on others.

I'd argue that negative aspects of the world are inevitable in competitive environments given survival instincs humans have. The fact is, a lot of things really are zero-sum, like land (e.g. Russia and Ukraine)--there's only so much of it the way we take ownership of it.

Ultimately this sort of environment leads to competition over resources vs collaboration between humans. So long as environments are competitive and people want to survive, the rest emerges inevitably I think.

I always found modern conflicts interesting because humans basically formed societies to reduce competition and dangers, to help their odds. We can now take turns taking watch at night and I sleep most days vs living as a nomand I'm always in danger for my life and resources. We then moved from hunter gathers to agrarian societies because it provided even more security and stability, we didn't have to compete for food we could contribute, grow it, and share it. We formed towns, built houses. We worked together.

Then somewhere along the line we decided to reintroduce survival dynamics abstractly in these safer societies. We reduced your food security and livelihood security based on valuations of your contribution to society, we add power dynamics and authorities of control, created the idea of private property rights, we setup market places where people compete abstractly through wealth transfers in the forms of money, then we tied things back securities like food and housing to these things.

Maybe we got bored and many want to be in a threatened survival state. I'd like to think we, as a species, could toss the people obsessed with accumulating wealth and power to the curb and try stripping away many layers of abstract competition we created and look at creating layers of collaboration. It doesn't need to be another failed attempt at socialism, but it seems like we can at least be far less competitive to one another and still grow.
Do you think those aren't solved problems? First, fast reactors yield waste products that principally live only a couple of hundred years. [1] And even to answer your original question directly, there's a whole area of study that's fascinating on how to provide long-term warnings. [3]

Not necessarily in the Australian outback, Yucca Mountain is a great choice. [2] [edit](That area is adjacent to the Nevada Test Site which is already some of the most radioactive land on earth).

What greed exactly are you talking about? I've no financial interest in the success of nuclear power. I recognize it's more expensive than some competing options but it's a better solution.

Yes, or perhaps regulate these tanks that are a disaster for human life in all the years past 2150 (i.e., a time people born in the next twenty years will live to experience)...

I mean, I can't just bring a gigantic 500 kilo suitcase on an airplane. There's costs associated to the airplane and other passengers, and thus doing this is priced such that nobody does this for fun or mere convenience, but rather only very rarely out of necessity. In fact, only on the rare occasion when the costs are worth paying because the value is equal or higher than the price.

There's rules & conditions to using certain services and infrastructure like an airplane. Roads aren't any different, we just happen to accept rules & conditions that are ridiculously imbalanced, aren't pricing in the costs, and are disastrous on a whole range of categories: from climate change, to environmental pollution, to human health and safety, congestion and geopolitical issues around oil dependence.
I don’t have a dog in this hunt. Most of what I know about Theranos comes from HN and from watching “The Dropout”.

That said, it’s my understanding (and apparently the jury’s, too), that Balwani oversaw the day-to-day operation of the labs. It’s plausible that Holmes was insulated from some of the worst screwups and lies. In any case, while both of them were convicted of defrauding investors, Balwani was also convicted of defrauding patients, where Holmes was found not guilty on similar charges).

Given that the CEO and COO were both found guilty of some crimes, and the COO was also found guilty of additional crimes, I wouldn’t be completely shocked if the COO got a heavier sentence. If that says anything about our society, it’s that it’s bad to commit more than one crime at a time.

Carbon costs per-vehicle can be calculated based on your local grid power source, duration of ownership, and more: https://www.carboncounter.com/ -- be sure to click the "Customize" tab

If your annual driving distance is low (<5,000 miles) and your grid is relatively dirty (e.g. the midwest [SRMW] grid), a range of EVs have more CO2 emissions/mile than conventional internal combustion vehicles.

> In the cities and down south where parking and traffic are huge factors

Really, INME, just “in the cities” (with maybe also the coastal mountain areas between the coastal cities). The inland rural south is no different than the inland rural north in this respect, AFAICT.

But the population is largely in the cities.
Some elements are kind of well distributed but not others: gold for example, or minerals or hydrocarbons, or even wind.
They aren’t a wholesome lecture away, but they are a law, tax, or regulation away. Removing tax loopholes for large cars, tightening emissions standards, and perhaps adding extra licensing requirements for oversized vehicles could reduce the environmental hazard and the safety hazard these vehicles create.

Capitalism is well suitable to people at their current level, which is about developing a strong ego with intelligence and clear boundaries. Communism was appropriate in the past, when people had weak notion of self, is not appropriate now, and will be appropriate in the future when people want to give more and take less. "I think my nature was always one that strove to yield itself to the great whole of which it was such a small part - and by yielding itself, to draw back into it the sustenance of life." - a pretty good allegory on the essense of communism done right.

> Pricing them correctly means that the price covers the cost of the externality

My argument is that current fuel and energy prices do not cover all externalities. And I'm suggesting that maybe they should.

> This is exactly the sort of thing you want a market to sort out.

Yes and that doesn't work very well when fuel, roads, and the car industry are heavily subsidized in an effort to make car culture more affordable.

Part of the problem is that knowing the true price of relevant externalities is currently difficult or impossible. We'll find out eventually one way or another. Through the price of habitable real estate and lower crop yields if nothing else.
