Basically, most of these small electric car companies will fail. They generate cash through pre-orders and hype. Then they burn through the cash trying to manufacture the car at scale without the discipline and drive of Elon Musk.

So in the end, perhaps the only electric car companies that exist will be Tesla, old car companies that converted to electric, and tech giants.

Fun fact, that app hasn't been updated in years. It's super buggy.

It's a nice demonstration how vendors won't bother to improve if the user has no choice.
One more dark pattern: The explore screen, or however it‘s called, now always shows at least 3 videos. At least one of them completely. Half a year ago they would show only two.

In any case, now there will always be 3 things moving on this screen and that‘s why I can‘t use it anymore.

You can ask Emmaus to empty house of deceased people. Say your parents near the sea died and you want to sell the house, you go there to get stuff you want and then you call Emmaus to get the rest.

Emmaus will make money and get work for people, while you have cleared your parents house.

So, the best Emmaus are the one where rich old people live
I think that might have been the original use-case for Grammarly. The original developers are Ukrainian.
> Yes coal mines are horrible. However, reclaimed mines are not worse for the environment than literally replacing equivalent acreage with a blanket of monolithic fused-silicon solar collectors (under which, there is no environment).

Citation very much needed.

For starters, assuming we're mining the coal in order to burn it, rather than just for rock collectors, then the pollution and waste from that activity alone is enough to make it worse than solar. Killing more people, and animals, and destroying more environment while also costing more money.

You claim you're not the kind of person to minimize how bad coal is, but that's exactly what you're doing.

We don't need to do what you're suggesting (there's plenty of sensible places to put solar PV) but even if we did I would be highly surprised if it was worse than coal mining.

No, I don't trust Grammarly one bit. I think there was even a question in their FAQ asking "are you a keylogger?". The answer went along the lines of "No! Absolutely not! But also yes."

My team still uses it despite my attempts to get them to do otherwise.
Well, if you don't mind (or like) living in a small village, Black Forest area. Housing is very affordable for good standard houses (just bought 170sqm house for 450k with renewable heating, decent energy efficiency). Nature here is awesome, QoL for us just perfect, having farms, forests, small lakes nearby. Kindergarden, Elementary School, Farmer-Stores in walking distance. Expect some cold winters every few years though :)

By choosing your village carefully you'll also get decent public transport to bigger cities (1h by train every hour to Stuttgart for us, 2h to Lake Constance).

For example we were considering this one: https://www.immobilienscout24.de/expose/133826271
But it was just too big for us. Add another 50-80k for upgrading the heating to a renewable one, some roof insulation and you're at 480k for 220sqm.

I'd expect that you'd find similar objects in like 1-2h around Berlin.

No idea how you cannot find a place in germany with 200k/y. I make about half of that and that's me providing a single income for our family and still saving up some money for the future. I'm not self-employed but with 200k income you should still have more left at the end of the month than we do, and we're doing fine (but we also don't need fancy cars or have fancy expensive hobbies)

> "I can retire at 60 instead of 70"

It depends, what was my life like for those 60 years vs the 70?

I'd love to be financially independent, but I don't want to spend 60yrs working on projects I hate always chasing the next promotion with only the promise of retiring early. It really depends on whether that increase comes at the expense of my work life balance or not

We permit use of Grammarly only using the stand-alone app or website, and only for content that doesn't contain any personal data & isn't security critical, e.g. blog posts, etc.

As others have said, the browser extension is an unmanageable security risk and we prevent its use and installation.
Actually for someone using C only for microcontroller, it is an interesting approach.

Hardware drivers, like USB, SPI, etc could be done in C and wiring up things and pushing data around in a more high level language.

After considering micropython for exactly that purpose, I was disappointed because of the implementation complexity and slowness of computations on that platform.

What are your thoughts on this?
It's Free-mium, not just free, just like Github. They actually have a business model, and that includes a stripped-down version that they let anyone use for free to tempt them into paying for better stuff.

So it's also in their best interest not to anger their paying customers.

Edit: That doesn't mean they won't, or that they should be trusted, just that they have similar motivations to Github.

I had to difficult time replying to pembrook because their reply was so venomous that I felt out of breath by just how far off the mark pembrook was to how it was for me in 2017.

Crypto in 2017 really felt like the beginning of something big and amazing, like we were going to change the world's currency, solve reputation, etc.

Me personally, I've been weathered by the constant fraud. I still 'believe' in it, like I did in 2017, but I don't invest in it.
As an intern, I used expect in my first job to create a monitoring system for ~ 200 L3 Routers in a private network. Eventually I learned about SNMP and also that I probably should Google "How to X" before rolling out my own solution for anything.

> Having said that, just tax the externalities

That policy would not produce green energy that would replace the existing energy that we're now using at a societal level, it would just stop economic growth as we now understand it (mostly meaning more stuff being made, among other things). Yours is a call for more global poverty, plain and simple, which comes with its share of externalities.

Case in point: make natural gas more expensive or harder to get a hold of -> price of fertilisers increases -> less agro stuff being produced -> a lot more people in the developing world getting under the extreme poverty threshold and, in the end, a lot more people dying.
One of the objectives that central banks try to achieve is to ensure banks lend out money (within risk limits). Capitalist economies depend on it to thrive; not in a Ponzi-like meaning, but rather to ensure money isn't hoarded, but rather is put to work (loaned money is used to drive business forward).

When this drops and central banks want to increase lending, for example, they drop the interest rate banks earn from just holding assets with the CB, encouraging more commercial lending (at higher risk but also higher interest).

Diverting all these deposits away from lending banks and into Fed account totally undermines it. Worse still, as other comments say this is more likely in a crisis, exacerbating it (eg maybe in plain sailing customers seek out banks with better savings rates but in a pinch will redeem ASAP).

CBDC is a bit if a half baked idea AFAICT, but it would replace cash, not all banks. Someone would still need to lend the digital cash.

Those planes are allowed to be flown for specific testing purposes only. You cannot fly passengers nor even cargo with them. And each flight crew member must have a very specific, essential role. You can't fly e.g. a tourist and call him "mission specialist" to get around the rules.
> Gee I wonder why

The frequency dropped even before TPM was deployed on most machines and I guess most systems still haven't it enabled today. Reason for that is that there are simply more direct and profitable ways to get system access, see most applications of ransomware for example.

> It's nice that you have no key material

You can use many different types of authenticators. If you use Windows Hello you need TPM and they try to hinder you adding alternative means without TPM being activated. But that is a different story and solely on Microsoft. No need to falsely or passive aggressively suggest that a system would be insecure without these specific means.

Convenience store sued for using cameras with face recognition
The way IT security has been (mis)handled by firms large and small, it’s just a matter of time till Grammarly announces a system breach and uses corporatese to hide the true impact and what was lost. When companies in highly regulated industries (like finance) get away with hardly any punishment, I’m not sure what kind of actions or threats of actions would even be effective against an unregulated company. Yes, reputation matters, but I’ve seen that cost is the main concern for many companies.

I wouldn’t trust any company with sending every keystroke (almost) to the company’s servers. That’s why on iOS I don’t use any custom keyboards, and even if I try any, I don’t give them “Full Access” (which means it can send the keystrokes over the network).

I didn't, but I recently saw positions described as data ops / data devops so it might be a good place to start. I think Data Engineering also has to do with lot of Devops topics so it might be worth to go through that route (especially since Data Engineering is in high demand, i.e. https://www.mihaileric.com/posts/we-need-data-engineers-not-...)

I think a bit part of the difference of the job is that data encodes business logic in unexpected ways that are not written down as configs/sometimes aren't obvious from code.
Exactly!

This whole article is so pervasively American that it was just about unreadable to me. It's a fairly rare and quite novel experience: it's in my native language, but so completely based on US assumptions and presumption of shared knowledge that I do not have, that it just... doesn't parse.

* His parents apparently live on some plot of land the size of a largish city. Presumably alone?

* The vehicle is a perfectly normal full-size truck of some kind, but he keeps talking about it as if it were a toy. He constantly compares it to a "golf cart" as if those were everyday things. I played golf for a decade and have never seen one except on TV. I presume it's a thing for morbidly-obese Americans?

* It is a real car but it doesn't comply with fnargle-wurgle edict 27B § 42 from the Glarg of Bargwargle, but obviously everyone knows the Bargwargle so no need to explain that.

* I bought it from China for only $LOTS but really it was a cost of $LOTS because $LOTS doesn't count and $LOTS is always there anyway so it's OK to pay $LOTS for a toy. Hello fellow humans! I am a perfectly normal human!

* It is a toy but I can use it on my parent's private city where 100,000 of you peasants from the barbarian lands could live, but we are not barbarians and anyway we shoot barbarians here.

Such a very strange article. Such a very strange country.

There are still multi layer travel options available. And some previously unthinkable possibilities (e.g. moving walkways like the kind you see in airports, for short distances within a block – or different colored trains on different levels like ground/underground) are still possible.

Author has a bias against Microsoft. So do hacker news readers.

News of Pluton and its security goals have been readily available since 2020 from reputable hardware sites like Anandtech, or directly from Microsoft themselves. There's nothing new or hidden or surprising about it unless you live to dream up Microsoft conspiracy theories.

Many other hardware manufacturers have similar security offerings including Intel and Apple. Microsoft is arguably late to the game here, given their only recent interest in PC hardware. OS integration isn't even new. Macs have been shipping with T1 and T2 chips for over five years. Has the sky fallen on that ecosystem?
I wouldn't call what you're describing inflation but I can see why you would put it that way.

To answer your question, yes! People are doing that today, with Bitcoin and other coins. That is a large park of what was going on inside the defi ecosystem.

The company is looking out for itself, but it seems to me that you're not looking out for yourself. You're expecting the company, which is already over-extended, to look out for you as well.

In your situation (like many out there) it's a lot easier for you to get a new job with a much higher pay rate than to ask your current employer for that raise. They might be paying low on purpose, or they might just not realize the situation they've put themselves in. Either way, you're being undervalued and it's causing you stress which is not helping your productivity.

Sure, everyone would always accept a pay raise. But not everyone feels they deserve one at the moment, and the company can't know who feels that way until they're told.

Because the program it's used in is written in C too, as is most software that runs on Unix-like systems. It uses and depends on another C library (PCRE).

Primary dangers are that an account directly at the Fed is safer than literally anything else. It's safer than US Treasury Bonds or any other type of bank account. So in a financial crisis similar to 2008 where you're uncertain of institutions financial state the safest course of action is to withdraw/sell everything and move it to the Fed.

But if you sell US Treasury Bonds you're effectively spiking interest rates on the cost of the government to borrow, which is exactly what you don't want to do during a recession/financial crisis as the government maybe the only party who can fix whatever is going on and they may need to borrow heavily to do it (as in 2008).

So you make a bad situation potentially much worse.

As for CBDC's, I don't know the specifics of how they might implement them, but I have to assume they will want to avoid the above scenario, although granted given a crypto currency would have the attributes of physical cash but the convenience of being trivial to store and use I don't know how you avoid that. Unless CDBC's can only be held in authorised institutions accounts (banks) and not effectively in cash form which is something I could potentially see them doing.

The quote is:

It's a constant pain point that even in this thread people are conflating marketing with advertising. The reality is that advertising is probably one of the lowest ROIs of a marketing department.

To expand on the "advertising is probably one of the lowest ROIs of a marketing department" bit, marketing advertising is for brand building. That's those very expensive branded videos, banner ads etc. It's a very specific type of advertising which is generally pretty untargeted and doesn't aim at specific actions.

This is NOT search engineering advertising, which is highly targeted and typically part of the sales, not marketing department.
