There are so many myths about charging, mostly coming from people who don't own an EV.

Most people don't realize that BEVs (not hybrids) have batteries large enough to last a whole week of commuting. This gives a lot of flexibility in when and where they can be charged.

They're typically configured to charge overnight, when charging speed doesn't matter, and electricity demand is low (if the demand shifts, they could be configured to charge at different times, e.g. when they're parked at work). EVs are designed to be left charging unattended, so they can just be left plugged in whenever they're parked. That's a different use-case than quarter-megawatt chargers for road trips.

New cars have vehicle-to-load capability built-in already, and there are trials to use them as grid storage. The more EVs there are, the more they can be used to shift renewable energy and flatten the duck curve. EVs can help the grid, not strain it.

Large fast charging sites for road trips typically have their own batteries, because it allows them to have cheaper lower-power connection to the grid, do price arbitrage, and use their own renewables. This is also a place where degraded batteries from old EVs can be reused.

Of course the electric grid will need to be expanded. Lament about that sounds like developed countries have forgotten how to develop infrastructure?
Because normal people will click on crypto scams. They're scared of what they don't understand - are you aware of how many billions of dollars of fines every single major bank pays routinely?

Probably not, because that's boring and doesn't make headlines you see as often.

8 of the top 10 most penalized companies in the world are banks that have nothing to do with crypto.
I like to have my `*_id` columns at the front, and `created_at` etc. at the back. And in the middle all the fields by descending importance. Just a personal habit so I can quickly lookup data in a table.
This is stating the obvious, the HN community generally leans against blockchain. That coupled with negative news traveling further than positive news means that HN mostly sees negative stories, and comments on both positive and negative stories tend to skew negative.

For a couple years I delivered and installed appliances for Lowe's. We brought back (ie customer returned) LG and Samsung just as much as Whirlpool and GE, even though we sold significantly less of the LG and Samsung appliances. I was told that the closest person able to service them was 250+ miles away. Also, LG and Samsung tended to scrap an entire new fridge for seemingly trivial stuff, such as an ice maker not working. I've never owned a LG or Samsung appliance but from the number of returns I've seen, I certainly wouldn't want a fridge or front load washer from either manufacturer.
If you are referring to the A80j model the Costco exclusive Bravia has a microphone disable switch because it has a microphone. The standard Bravia has no microphone at all.
Soothing my OCD is important, but it also helps when working in a team and having a shared ordering style. For example, we have certain types of columns that are always at the bottom. One would look there first. With PG you're forced to scan all the columns every time.
But that's not going to be how these watches are made. They set it to 150, which means there is almost no value in creating customised tooling just for the assembly. The parts may be mass produced (and used in other products), but their tolerances in this assembly will mean they have a low yield, and expensive manual quality control.

This is called batch production. It is not akin to a printer and even if it was, limiting the production quantity would, by definition, mean it is not mass produced.

Finally, quantity is irrelevant to whether something is classified as art. My point was that the fact that it was created at all is meaningful and valuable.

I wonder why this aspect seems to be neglected in the whole remote vs. office work discussion:

> Yet even now, as office space expands like poison gas into our homes, [...]

I am not a big fan of working at an office every day, but I consider effectively giving a part of my home to my employer (so I can work for them) as a significant disadvantage of working from home. Does everyone else just have a spare room which they can use, fully equipped with ergonomic desk and chair, screen etc.? Don't they have partners, house mates, family etc. who would also like to have a say on what happens with that part of the shared house?

What if multiple people in a household have gone to working from home? Does each of them have their own office space at home?
First: stop muddying the waters by accusing people of shilling for big oil. That's explicitly against the guidelines here. Now for the substance of the reply.

It's not a fable, it has its own Wikpedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_pickup.

The US doesn't consist entirely of the South, and guess what? The South is buying some of that AC power from the North. The Eastern Interconnect is a lovely thing, don't get me wrong, but you can't just handwave off the effect of some 20-40 million 9 to 5ers in the Eastern time zone getting home at the same time and plugging their cars in.

It is a solvable problem, most of those cars need to charge for ~90 minutes any time before the morning, but it will be a serious problem if it isn't addressed.
If I understand you correctly this is called "Night Mode" or something similar on many TVs, phones and other audio devices
For a lot of people, one of the things is having a change of scenery. I doubt I'd go in if I felt I had to wear headphones to work--I'm mostly fine with working in ambient social noise--but if I had a comfortable office a modest and pleasant walk away, I'd probably go in one or two days a week for variety.
I think the parents post is claiming that the grid isn’t able to handle the additional load of charging everyone’s car at the same time on top of the stoves etc that you mention. It will be in addition to not instead.
Yeah, the 400 billion which Germany invested in renewables really paid off. I'm pretty sure for the same sum you would get a nuclear reactor or two.

The best thing about this solution is that its an instant competitive advantage that Google will not be able (or willing) to copy.
Why? Because it's awfully inconvenient a subject for a certain political group. Easier to just sweep the subject under the carpet.

HN going the way of reddit. No discussion allowed!
> "family"

It certainly can feel more that way when the majority of employees have worked together in the same place for decades, when management has gone out of their way multiple times to accommodate individuals as difficult personal issues arose, and when most of the staff aren't constantly searching for better pay elsewhere. I have seen it.

However, I think that sort of situation is very much an increasingly rare exception, and unfortunately most of the managers using this kind of language are blowing hot air. It's like success or 'greatness', if you feel compelled to keep telling everyone you have it, you probably don't.
This! The top 10% of use cases (high mileage a day) have incentive to use substation (or at least commercial) charging stations. Many utilities are installing chargers at major brand gas stations.
Paging hyc!
“We” don’t dictate to the whole world how to live, that would be ludicrous as you just stated. We dictate the terms for behaving if you want to do business with us and our friends…just like the rest of the world. Most people don’t care about north koreas rules because they don’t want to do business in North Korea. Most of the world wants to do business with the west because it’s huge and rich and relatively unified in how you need to behave in broad strokes (obviously tons of differences in the details of implementations across regions).

Foolish Americans keep ending up in Singapore jails because they don’t think their rules apply to them when they go there and find out the hard way that they do. You don’t get to have your cake and eat it too because you disagree with the rules. If you want to do business with the west, you follow its rules or you stick to doing business with your own sphere of influence only.
I was just pondering where I'd find the time for my game's music and SFX, what with holidays coming up and a hectic new freelance gig (deadline around the corner). Then I thought about hiring a composer. Then I thought, damn it, I'll just buy some music and SFX online.
It's not luxury if there's 7 other people (talking, making noises etc.) in the same room with you. It's basically a hostel room.
Hmm I wonder if you could register a new account for the CEO of Experian and take his identity? That perhaps would create some incentive for them to change to better security. As long as its just grubby peons like us, why should they care?

Too bad our elite senators and congress folks have no interest in keeping people's identity safe.
In my opinion, making the office great should also cover a change in how office work is managed. Didn't the work-from-home of the pandemic highlight just how many office workers really do not need to be so closely observed and managed? Perhaps as part of the process of convincing people to return to the office, more control over schedule and the elimination of busy work like TPS reports could also be considered.
>If you don't like this then stop using proprietary software.

Or, you know, change the law. It doesn't have to be this way.
Is it right the EU forced cookie pop ups on everyone? Maybe, maybe not but it’s politics in a nutshell.
This is not unique to Germans, FWIW. RE is increasing all over Europe yet companies are trying to keep pre-COVID packages with a 'hybrid working' label added on.

Yes, those same packages that were already low enough to make things uncomfortable in certain areas.
I would estimate this one as more of a cult phenomenon, not the local mainstream Neanderthal culture.

After all, what do hominids do in caves, anyway?

They get away from the crowd and it could be an exclusive location where only the true "cave men" held their business meetings, smoked cigars, and stuff like that.

OTOH it could have just been teenagers trying to be rambunctious without getting caught. I doubt they were allowed to break off stalagmites just anywhere.

Either way a truly subterranean non-mainstream sub-culture intentionally differentiated by its members.
what does this have to do with Costco?
I also have some fond memories of writing a 'smart' algorithm in STOS Basic for generating Madelbrot fractals. And is still took hours to fill the screen.
Why are you comparing today to the future state?

Yes, there are literally grid issues right now, with electric cars being a tiny portion of car sales. We will get there but its not necessarily cheap and easy.

"Big oil talking point". You people are brainwashed into believing everything is a conspiracy.

Imagine believing you and the 2% of EV owners are on to something by charging at night, and it'll look the same at 20%+ EV market share.
Or have any company officer travel to or through the US any time in the future.

I once interviewed for a company that ran gambling websites (legal in the UK) and it was explained to me that if I worked there I would never be able to travel to the US. I declined the job. Some time later one of their executives was on a plane which was diverted to a US airport and he was arrested and charged.
Moon and The Thirteenth Floor are two of my favourite movies which have not received the success they deserved in my opinion, compared to say The Matrix (all three as good and dealing with similar subjects IMO). It's rare but nice to see them mentioned!

389 is afaik full-featured enterprise LDAP server, so I guess the main difference is complexity. One thing to note is that there is also FreeIPA companion project for 389, which a bundles in kerberos, sssd etc that are needed for full auth set-up
I personally think it's a bit too unstable if you are in the US, given the recent news about layoffs and the overall general feel about the health of a lot of startups.

In Europe, these problems still exist, certainly, but, it's a lot easier to find places/companies that can be deemed as healthy, or let's put it like this, that aren't making the news headlines.

I would propose that you do your due diligence and investigate the business, company, maybe even some of the C-Level people... It can be perfect or terrible, it just depends on each and every individual case.

About the offers themselves: Double the current salary feels a bit too good to be true, so, if a large part of this salary is paid out in equity/stocks, this can tie to the point above about evaluating the health/runaway of the company and how it's been doing over the last few months at least.
I configured Authelia in about 5 minutes, using glauth for LDAP.

Authentik looks good though, it's in my queue of things to try.
I agree. The problem is people are pushing electric cars as a solution to today's gas prices, not gas prices in future decades. Even if they could be manufactured, even if people could afford them, the grid would need some work to accommodate them. That isn't "big oil propaganda"
No, COMPUTE!'s Gazette was not C64 specific. It covered all the Commodore 8-bit home systems: VIC-20, C64, Commodore 16/Plus/4, C128. It started with the VIC-20 and C64 as that is all there was, and in the end it only covered C64/128. The C64 was certainly the only model the Gazette covered during its entire lifetime.
Nobody talked about luxury. The point of your home is a space for you designed by you. That's the definition of comfortable.

Otherwise it's just a living space with a bed.

In that case I would urge one to get themselves a home rather than an office job with great perks. That's a better investment in my book. No, I don't mean buying, even a shared rented flat could be your home.
I agree it isn't a substitute but for software dev you really don't need it.

Plenty of stuff gets built with just email and IRC. My team never turns on their camera because it's just an extra hassle and we get plenty done. Most of our collaboration happens over IM and PRs along with a short scrum at the beginning of the day. We used cameras for a few months and it added nothing to the meetings.

A lot of people mention whiteboards. I only do white boarding a few times a year but IME the best is to get a cheap (under $50) drawing tablet and use a whiteboard app (webex even has one built in, I use whiteboard.com for my side projects and tutoring.) One of my coworkers tried pointing a camera at a physical whiteboard and it was super hard to see much of anything.
It's weird... I was never big on writing, but when I finally tried my hand at a data format specification (https://github.com/kstenerud/concise-encoding), I found that I really enjoyed the experience.

It's 3000 lines and took me four years and countless revisions, but I feel it was worth it. I actually enjoyed writing the spec even more than writing the reference implementation :)
One way I gain confidence in it is to think about how it has had 2500 years of research and development, and in that time has not asked the majority of Buddhists to accept a set of beliefs blindly. It has changed drastically with time and culture: Japanese Buddhism is very different from Chinese Buddhism, Japanese Buddhism in the 1200s is very different from in the 800s. It is allowed to evolve with what works for people, and I find that quite compelling. Of course that alone is not enough, I have to also actually do the practise myself and see what happens
Well the comparison here is between openldap and lldap. I would use either as a backend for Authelia.

But I found Authelia reasonably simple to use too.

Your sibling comments have not mentioned or alluded to any such flaws. Do you have criticism to share?
I'm not talking about the physical layout of the data, just a thin UI layer that the DB tool could use. Maybe we could have two modes: physical vs UI ordering?
Regarding the PS/2 Model 30 using an 8086, it's important to remember that average consumers didn't quickly adopt the latest microprocessors like they do today, and it was very common for manufacturers to use much older chips in newer products. Hardware was expensive, and the latest hardware was crazy expensive -- the PS/2 Model 30 with its 8086 had a list price of $2,295 ($5,952 in today's dollars), while the contemporary PS/2 Model 80 with its 80386 was $6,995 ($18,142 in today's dollars!). Also, the software commonly in use on IBM compatibles at that time (i.e. DOS) wasn't particularly suited for taking advantage of the newer hardware.

My school had a number of 8086-based PS/2 Model 25's. By the time I used them in 1991, they had been retired to second-tier labs, but they were still perfectly usable for checking email, word processing, telnet to the UNIX server, and some light games. (I remember Star Control ran particularly well on its quasi-VGA "MCGA" graphics.)
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaslighting ...who presents a false narrative to another group or person, thereby leading them to doubt their perceptions and become misled, disoriented or distressed...

My perceptions - wfh is more productive and comfortable for me, the alternative narrative is offices are better (because reasons), and we need to have face to face etc etc. The arguments are presented without facts and contrary to the evidence, there is an alternative reason - control, lack of trust etc, that is being hidden.

as GP said they could make things nice but, nah
It is unsurprising that the situation gets worse despite "modern" consequentialist approaches to combat racism.

> institutionally racist

This condemnation would have been uttered regardless of the behavior of police forces because the diagnose is to a large part due to the vanity of the accusers.

We have a lack of expertise in people being able to really judge police work. Not from the UK but a similar country. Our police has some problems with bias but the diagnose of racism is very inadequate. If you do police work and see daily cases of crime you will get certain opinions and some people may be in need of some perspective. Currently those people leading such discussions on the other side are infantile children in most countries I have read about the topic.

> head of counter-terrorism means he is well versed in the challenges posed by extremism

I heavily doubt that.
I actually imagine that electric cars will be even more compelling for long-range — not because batteries will become that much better, but because of a quirk from electric car manufacturers: they care about aerodynamic performance, a lot more than their ICE predecessors. They have to, because of where batteries are.

Because of that, they are now getting close to having cars that can rely on solar panels for some of their energy. It’s not there yet, but there are working prototypes (Aptera is the most inspiring but not the only one). Telsa mentioned a solar roof extension on what sounded like a camper van. Large trucks have a lot of surfaces and would definitely benefit too…

If you look at how much energy has to go in and out, a very conservative drive on a highway has less acceleration per hour, and fewer buildings hiding the sun. You could imagine that a very aerodynamic vehicle driven slowly for long distances would be able to stay charged longer than a gas car.

You might hit limits of human attention (I think we did that a long time ago) so it might not be as beneficial as frequent high-speed chargers, but all that innovation tells me there’s more than a short commute and a disappointing aesthetic to switching to electric.
> As an example of the irreconciliable weirdness of NULL, consider that "NULL = NULL" is false, and so is "NULL != NULL

This isn't quite true - these comparisons don't evaluate to false, they evaluate to NULL.

I intuitively think of NULL as "unable to compute," a generalized NaN.
By late 80s the only "enthusiast" C64 users were mostly (and sadly) those who could not afford a better computer. And from what I can remember, even as a kid, that was not so uncommon.

After all, "a computer on every desk and in every home" was still just a company vision statement.
I have an original copy of the Apple II manual somewhere, with the ROM listing and handwritten changes. Will have to dig it out.
I borrowed this book from a library at age 10 or so - 50 years ago. As a kid, when we went on holiday as a family the first thing we would do would be to visit the library at our destination and get 'visitor tickets'. I was an only child (still am) and was expected to amuse myself. The title is perfect for an only child. I read this book pretty much cover to cover one holiday and remember making darts out of sewing needles and matchsticks.
Theodora’s last name is Walton and she graduated in 1978. She is married to the other Walton.

Lots of money apparently buys lots of wordsmithing.
The cartoon series is arguably the strongest instalment in the franchise. It's got the strongest story line and the most depth to it. It's a great loss Disney cancelled it
Apologies, Buddhist terminology is extremely difficult to translate accurately into English. For example the word "suffering" is not quite right for translating the sanksrit word "Duḥkha". It's easy to forget to clarify the translations, but that's part of why it is so difficult to learn. When we get more Buddhist texts that are written primarily in English first, it will be easier to communicate
The string ‘’ is as arbitrarily blank as 0 is a blank integer.
This story is decidedly anecdata, even personal, but I think it's illustrative of what's going on in certain fields.

- Had a friend who has multiple graduate level degrees in architecture related sub-specialties e.g. architecture criticism etc

- HN being what it is, I will mention that the pay for most of the jobs you would get with the above is zero or near zero.

- There is also a dramatic oversupply of candidates for available positions

- That being said, certain jobs can be prestigious e.g. curator at a museum etc

- Most places that would hire someone with these degrees will ONLY hire the children of very wealthy individuals

- Why? The thought is that a museum hires the child of a hedge fund manager, there is a non-zero chance the wealthy parent will give or leave money to the institution when they die

- This means a steady stream of unpaid internships for everyone else for, essentially, the rest of their lives

It's therefore not surprising that only wealthy/elites would go into these particular fields and, in turn, causes people to not even enter the academic subjects to begin with.

This isn't necessarily a criticism since everyone here is acting rationally from an economics perspective. I do wonder about the poor kid from a bad neighborhood who could have become the next great museum curator if not for the fact that his parents aren't wealthy.
In homes maybe that's true for the moment.

But we've got plenty of it in offices and public areas, and definitely within datacentres over here...
I suspect that it is only after you ‘got it’ that you can find this description nicer than anything else that you can find in the swath of monad tutorials.
Methodology is part of fraud and maybe ethics. It's also required in the future for meta analysis. It might be that published papers disagree on the topic. If there are problems with methodology you can't really use the data as it's noise (at best).
