The solution has always been electric trains. Make transport public, add more public transportation. That's the pill nobody wants to swallow.

It's not a technology problem, it's a political one. American auto lobbies destroyed public transport, it's not a secret.

Here is france a lot of busses use a LNG/fuel mix. Regional trains have room where you can put a bike.

Take a quarter of what is being spent on domestics cars, and allocate it on public transport, instead of subsidizing oil. Unfortunately, making something for the community so it can be collective, is immediately seen as a socialist or communist measure in the US, so it will probably take a revolution.

Americans will continue to be one the largest emitter per capita, and will lose the fight on the environment, while countries like china are already building a lot of nuclear power plants.

1. Maybe. But if the article is about communicating ideas, then I don't understand why to use a horse as an example?

horse != idea

Idea is by definition something abstract and/or intangible.

2. IMO, complex ideas by definition are bad ideas. Good ideas are simple, but they might be contrarian, seemingly impossible and/or non-obvious.

EDIT: found a really stupid idea: a USB stick horse ;)

Ask HN: Will Rust be a good filter to separate bad developers in the interviews?
Quick Leetcode style questions over multiple rounds have made the FAANGs, their cohorts, and most startups take in fresh grads who know Java as the only real programming. Nobody pokes around resumes these days in interview rounds.

Go-lang was materialized for these kind recently, but we are left with big spaghetti of code, far from clean and good practices. Programmers spend their whole career debugging the mess or just gave up.

Rust has given what programmers and companies want, giving no one a reason to complain. Less testing, low resources costs, quick deployments is what managers want.

Will the joy of programming return?

Will the cohort of employees be thankful to each other again

will they be passionate and innovative than recklessly money-greedy or burnt out?

Will the bad codebase be a thing of the past for the community?

Address validation is not 100% reliable, so systems should have an override "Yes, this is my address" option. Unfortunately many forms assume address validation is foolproof, so there is no mechanism for entering in your actual address. It just gets rejected.

As a customer, I wanted to buy something and the website wouldn't accept my address (since it wouldn't accept any "/" characters). Guess what? There are plenty of addresses in the US with "/", such as 50 1/2 Foobar Street. Address validation does not always work, so companies shouldn't act that way.

I would distinguish between consulting and audit.

Nobody thinks most auditors are experts. I have met a few, but mostly their job is to perform very standardised assessments, to meet compliance requirements. Internal audit is no different in this respect.

Consulting, on the other hand, I agree is hugely oversold. I have experience of being invaded by a swarm of big-name consulting firm graduate "security experts".

They didn't do a bad job in the end. They gathered the requirements, listened to the staff, and recommended pretty much what we would have recommended. Someone somewhere with more experience must have reviewed it at some point I guess.

In this case, the senior management was really paying for the "big firm" seal of approval on a big spend, not for any earth shattering security insight.
Didn't seem to be a problem for The Economist in 2020 and 2021 - I checked a couple of older articles and and they said there wasn't right or wrong - it simply depended on what data were keyed in to the technocrats' policy models.

I can kinda understand the desire to simplify it to "macOS". Through the years it was

- System 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

- Mac OS 8

- Mac OS 9

- Mac OS X

And it remained at "X" for about 16 years, with sometimes substantial releases being distinguished just by a big cat name or a decimal point. Arguably the "X" part stopped being part of the versioning, and simply became part of the brand but it was definitely redundant and "mac oh-ess-ex" is at best a bit clunky to say.

It certainly wasn't necessary, but I can at least understand why they'd want to do it.
> I'm hardly an expert on this subject

What are your opinions based on? I've seen some some "propaganda science" videos, which were essentially Tesla fanboys defending Tesla's choice for some reason.

IMHO, nothing ever is that one dimensional. Obviously those who invested in PHEV or something else will defend that point and I can't see how one can be correct and the other can be the wrong choice when all come with pros and cons.

Did Intel made the wrong choice x86? Did Apple made the correct choice with ARM? Isn't it possible that at different stages of maturity of the tech and the market the "correct choice" can be different?

Lately I'm very annoyed of the science and tech propaganda on Youtube. One of my favourite YouTubers, Derek Muller of Veritasium, was criticised for filming a propaganda video for Google[0] and I'm afraid that the critics have a point. Company positions in the skin of scientific discussion are not new but with YouTube is seems like we are having hard time to identify them.

If there are no other illness, heartburn / reflux, burps, stomach rumbling, stomach pain etc. is all quite common if you regularly eat outside. Taste sells, so food in restaurant use copious amounts of oil / butter, sugar, salt, refined flour, MSG, etc. all of which are unhealthy when consumed in quantity and regularly. Eating home-cooked food really makes a difference to your gut health.

That feels to me that you're blaming a poorly implemented editor / IDE for a language feature.

If you use ² and ³ a lot in your work, I'm sure you can install a macro / keybinding / whatever to access them quickly.

And in any other case, https://docs.raku.org/language/unicode_ascii is a bit of a Rosetta stone in the cases you don't know how to type them, because you can copy / paste them from there.

Finally, the Raku documentation also contains information on how to type these unicode characters on your OS: https://docs.raku.org/language/unicode_entry .

Another thing may be that reactive armor works. I read a Russian report claiming that only 1 in 10 Javelin strikes resulted in a tank kill. That's a plausible claim if you consider that Javelins are a bit old technology and reactive armor was specifically developed to counter that type of attack.

It would be more useful if there was such a thing as a check list for good bets, but it’s fairly interesting (at least to me) that the founder’s background is consistently over-valued in the results.

There is a world of difference between a cheap PR offensive that tries to convince the public that nuclear power is now safe and stepping up to shoulder the liability and costs if it is not.

So far the industry does a lot of the former and zero of the latter. Hell, the op eds about safety routinely coming from nuclear lobbies dont even acknowledge that taxpayers are 99+% on the hook if they fuck up.

Makes me feel even more safe that theyre now lobbying mainly to extend the life of old nuclear plants. What could go wrong?

This is a lot of words for the basic conjecture that he was killed by/for being a moonie.

The problem with this reporting is that it takes the killer's supposed words at face value. This is a big risk, especially as at this stage we are not entirely certain that those words are accurate.

Now, this may eventually appear to be the case, but the level of certainty presented in this article is unfounded.

I'm pretty surprised musk seems to have put himself personally on the line, rather than putting 'musk acquisition project llc' as the party making the offer.

If it was the latter, then everything could be arranged so there was no money in that company to pay for any lawsuits. As the worlds richest man, dividing up your liability like that into many LLC's would seem like a very important thing to do.

Hint that suggests a "world" where people keep the GPS connection on as standard practice.

E.g. on Google if you search for "how to tie a tie", a little info box may pop up with step by step instructions. This content is taken from some website, but that website gets no page hits or ad revenue. Instead, Google gets to serve ads on the search engine results page.

We had the technical argument about a decade ago. Toyota lost. I'm genuinely surprised to see them still fighting this battle as we're way past plausible deniability and getting into "this is embarrassing" territory.

PHEVs are better than HEVs and both are better than ICE, hydrogen is a non-starter (technically better than ICE but there's no infrastructure so it'll be niche) so the future is BEV for wheeled transport.

There are many tasks that do not require much intellect. For example, "here is a web store design mockup I have drawn. Generate the code for it. Integrate it with payment and delivery services". Today you need to hire developers, testers and other people. What if such trivial tasks could be performed by a neural network?

Another example is phone support. AI is already being used there, for example, in some banks (in Russia) you are first greeted by a robot if you call, and only if it cannot answer your question it will let you talk to the human.
Amazing! Have you insights into why permaculture wasn’t adopted on a larger scale yet?
The way I see it, Google is no longer in the business of searching websites, but in the business of ranking them from at least a decade.

I still remember helping a friend finding informations on the accounting balance of Rome's, Italy, public transport, and finding the most relevant link buried deep at around page 20. The first 15 pages were almost completely news websites with completely irrelevant news to the search query but they would consistently rank much higher.
Brake dust is vastly descreased due to use of regenerative braking. Hence why brakes last longer on EVs.
This comment illustrates why it's confusing to have the AM band and AM mode namespace overlap problem in the US.

Parent is referring to the AM mode, not the band. However the band is unique and important in a lot of situations due to its propagation characteristics.

Also since CW is considered AM...the mode comments may even be questionable...
More like 99% is wasted when you consider the modern alternative: a QAM encoded signal with many subcarriers with ECC sending efficiently compressed digital data. Do that, and you can transmit to the same population with far far less energy.
Is it just me or half the examples listed under "Sans Serif Invasion" have even the old logo in a Sans Serif font?
Hello world or “Why another blog”
You can fashion an AM radio receiver from very basic parts and it needs very low power. Transmitting and receiving is very easy, although the transmitter needs more power.

Digital radio is bad when it comes to components, for both transmitters and receivers. Receivers also have a very high power draw compared to AM radio.

In case of a catastrophic event (like war) digital radio will be next to useless and analog will be king. Decommissioning a fully working system while Russia is reviving the cold war again, is foolish. Especially since renewables are coming up strong now and the power draw of transmitters in terms of ecological impact won't matter anymore quite soon.
not really. Japan runs under a unitary government that has almost exclusively been controlled by a single party since the post-war era.

The US is a federalized country with quite big cultural differences between states, and at least alternates between two major parties, and frequently shifting administrations. You can at most get canceled by one side. Japan is centralized and monolithic to an extent that really has no parallel in any other democratic country.

On 4G have seen 5Mbps consistently, and reaches 25Mbps if you are closer to the cell tower.This 4G connection was my backup for remote working over a VPN. Primary was a 50Mbps symmetric fibre to my home, which costed about $10 per month, unlimited with peering for youtube, netflix, amazon, disney and other streaming platforms.

You just described a relationship that didn't apply to native species before domestocsrion. In effect they where growing weeds.

> Eastern Europe had to continue with phage therapies because they didn't have great access to antibiotics […]

This is a very bubble centric view of the history. Eastern bloc countries, notably East Germany, Hungary and Yugoslavia, had very active and thriving drug research and manufacturing sectors. The Soviet Union, whilst having the drug research and manufacturing of their own, was purchasing swaths of drugs from the three aforementioned countries.

Azithromycin, one of the most widely prescribed macrolide antibiotics in the US today, was, in fact, discovered in Yugoslavia and licenced to Pfizer in 1980s.

Phage therapy was considered a novel area of research in a few of the Eastern bloc countries, but it never became neither widespread nor a substitute for antibiotics. It was just as fringe in those countries as it was elsewhere.
Goldman Sachs & other banks are not burned in this. They collect commissions and fees from loans. They deal with increasing risk by increasing fees, collateral and interest rate. That will restrict the deals Musk can afford.
Doesn't this mainly have to do with capitalism and a sort of "tragedy of the commons"? Why do supermarkets look so dull, boring and not at all aesthetically pleasing? Because they're super optimized for selling to the majority of customers. And for the majority of costumers probably aesthetics is not that important.

I find this very clear also in European architecture of the ~1600. Some of the buildings all over Italy, Germany and England are these gorgeous pieces of art that would probably never have been built if the formula was "optimize the hell out of this so we can make short term profit".
Probabilistic Numerics Computation as Machine Learning (Free Book)
The half-lying, half-dancing-around-legality, reminds me of Trump.

It's like American capitalism has a big vulnerability and Musk is hacking it.

Capitalism always needs to be properly regulated to work properly, but it quickly cracks when some people work hard to hack it and cause problems.

As always, don't hate the criminals, just hate the game.
It is easy to fire on Toyota for defending their PHEV strategy... But that said: they are not fundamentally wrong. BEVs is not the unique magic solution to every transport problem (sorry Elon).
Like usual, the reality is more complex than that.

A French think tank named The shift project, also came to the conclusion that the fastest way to decarbonize and meet emission targets would currently not be BEV currently but switching globally to super-light ICE vehicle with very small engine and optimized consumption (consumption of less than 2.5L/100 km, meaning > 100mpg). A bit like Japanese Kei car. [1]

And when you think about it, this is not crazy. BEV makes perfect sense in country like Norway, France, Switzerland or Canada where electricity is already very low carbon [2].

It does not if you consider most of the world: Poland, Australia, India, most of Africa and Japan has an electricity still running massively on coal, petrol and gas. It will takes several decade to change that and this is more than the lifetime of a car.

Without even considering that many countries, including Japan, country of Toyota, do not have a power grid design to reload EV in individual home (100V, single phase low power network). That would take massive effort and an other few decades to change that. [3]

Like always: There is clean and nice solutions on paper... And there is the reality kicking in the face

Disclaimer: I do own an BEV because I do live in a country where electricity is low carbon.
