Im a Vol Firefighter in a Major City Suburb with lots of highways and tons of crashes. We get 2-3 car fires and passenger extractions per month. The first question we ask on the way out is "Is this an EV?"

We need to know this because EVs trigger the rollout of Water Tankers from surrounding towns, as many as we can get. Usually a Water Shuttle has to be set up. Not many Fire Hydrants on Highways, and EV fires require A LOT of water, like several house fires worth...
Here is some external detail on this - https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-crash-fire-lithium-bat...

Also, we need to start calling more manpower. EV fires burn a very very long time while ICE fires are usually put out in the first few mins, and with 1 engine's 1000gal tank water.

Adding to this, the fire is usually under the car, and quite hard to get too. We are very good at opening locked car hoods and cutting metal to get at the fire, but when its deep in the guts of the thing, its impossible. At my department, we have started working on ways to jack the car up safely while its on fire so we can get water onto it. Trust me, its even harder than you would think...

The Standard Operating Procedure is to put water on the car and surrounding area so that nothing else catches on fire, but basically we have to let the thing burn out, and that can take hours and hours...

EV car batteries do not rely on the environment for their fires to burn. The fuel brings its own oxidizer, and it doesnt need anything else. We can put out Liquid Fuel fires by robbing the oxygen or removing the heat(thats what the water does), but once EV fire gets to a particular point of no return (which it arrives at very quickly) there is really nothing that can be done to stop it, just
make sure it doesnt get any worse...

Here is the current thinking from the NFPA (firefighting safety and standards organization in the US), you'll see EV car fires are long on problems, but even the most focused minds in the US Fire Prevention industry are short on answers at this time.

Better still, tell me what the update does, then offer me the choice.

Obviously that's easier said than done for a complex product, but don't expect sympathy when you screw up. Moving away from monolithic all-or-nothing OS updates would certainly help.
And I make both those distinctions exactly never in my personal life.
Still no support for arm64 docker executors after years of asking for it.
Owning gives you a different kind of flexibility. Renting is usually pretty restrictive in the US, and if you want to put up a fence for your dog, grow a garden, paint your walls, or whatever you usually can't.
My gmail regularly gets spam
Facebook/Meta has some really great advertising and branding, but there are now good alternatives out there too even if they aren't as well known. I have the HP Reverb 2 which is a pretty interesting device in its own right.

Which is to say, you can definitely still throw away your time and money on this fad without supporting Facebook/Meta :)
You say it like the kernel is, at that moment in time, running, when in fact is just a simple .dll file just sitting there and is being manipulated by the uefi no different than what Notepad does to a text file.

Also the article says it clearly that the uefi rootkit is searching and replacing functions within the kernel and then putting them back once the next phase is complete, in order to avoid security check.

Hooking in windows is a technique allowed by the OS, while this "hooking" is nothing more than just simple search/replace file operation. That's being taught like in 1st month on any coding school.
You still have not said who you think is lying, or what you think they are lying about.
Probably because Amazon is better at retail sales. For larger companies both Amazon and Google give an enormous amount of incentives to secure the accounts, so they have lower margins. Where they thrive is with smaller and medium businesses. Amazon is better at the market of selling to the average joe.
Supply and demand, yadda yadda, sure.

I can accept that the observed behavior on my end is "pay up or wait".

What I cannot accept is that the dealerships are pocketing all the markups.
Google has been "playing catch up" for a decade now. They also pay less than Amazon (source levels.fyi)
I don't get it. If you're paying for 1Gbps then why does it matter how much you use up to that amount? If they're overselling their capacity then they should just stop doing that. If they can only handle 80% of the sustained capacity, only sell up to that amount.

You pay for pipe capacity, you don't pay for usage according to sales page. If they want to change their business model they can. It's not my fault that I'm using what I bought to its full capacity

Swamp creatures certainly get around. It's no wonder Americans are so deluded about what's actually going on in Ukraine.
A few examples come to mind, are they similar?

1. BMW accidentally enabled the heated seats in your car, then later deactivates it? So you enjoyed a bonus for a while, seems like they're entitled to remove it.

2. Bank accidentally gives you $1,000,000. A while later they realize their mistake and ask for the money back / transfer it out of your account. My understanding is that this is exactly what would happen.

What are the differences from this situation? Is it really a problem?
With most brands, if I get screwed as a consumer I can generally expect other consumers to at least sympathize with my plight. With Tesla and Apple, I fully expect for other Tesla or Apple consumers to blame me for everything wrong and defend the company blindly against all common reason.

Good brands to avoid for this reason, even if they do make enviable hardware sometimes.
I used to run a website called "Perlhelp.com" and would do that.

I got some work from it, but I also lost my ass a few times because I didn't charge up front and there was one particular guy who'd tell me after I sent them a solution "I've already got this done".

Since I couldn't review his code I couldn't know if he used my code, but I do suspect he did screw me at least a few times and I had to decline his requests for help after a few too many times of that.

There was also getting up to speed on the real cause of the issue they were having. That can require some time regardless of your proficiency with a particular language.

I think concept is good, but I'm not sure a fixed rate to "Fix this issue" can work out well for both parties all the time.
It's crazy but also not that surprising to think that it's taken this long for ICO fraud from 2018 to be fully litigated.

As a new layer of payments infra I fully support and have supported crypto from the early 2010's. But I think we'll need further "waves" of boom and bust to flush the fraudulent actors from the ecosystem. Can't wait until NFT's enter the proverbial federal regulation wood-chipper.
Tesla is up front about the cost of the vehicle, save for the default display being "with fuel savings", but in any case the true cost is a click away.

Versus the dealership(Larry h Miller) advertising the car for $40k on their site, and not telling you about the $15k fee until you're in their office.
Something being "supported by market conditions" is not a valid test for reasonableness. During disasters for example, all manner of unethical practices can be "supported by market conditions". Yet we enact laws against those things for good reason.

You also seem to forget the fact that much of those market conditions are a result of anti-competitive and anti-consumer laws guaranteeing their the status a middle men by force.

If for example consumers were able to buy directly from manufacturers but chose to pay more at a dealership because they thought the extra cost was worth some surplus value provided then you might have a point.
Those are each distinct consoles.
The PHEV in Ireland was €52k when it released in Jan 2022, I ordered it 5 months in advance seems like this model was way cheaper in US and now reaches same price as in Europe?
Nope. Quoting the article itself:

"In the traditional use case of direct db access, RLS works by defining policies on tables that filter rows based on the current db user. For a SaaS application, however, defining a new db user for each app user is clunky. For an application use case you can dynamically set and retrieve users using Postgres’ current_settings() function ( i.e:

SET app.current_app_user = ‘usr_123’

and

SELECT current_settings(‘app.current_app_user)

)."

The policies that they define reference these settings, so they can do a "set" at the start of processing every web request, on a pre-existing db connection.
One missing approach is just appending the binary data to the end of the file, and then reading the resource from /proc/self/exe on Linux (or the equivalents on Mac and Windows).

It's not "portable" per-se, but all modern platforms [1] have a way to interrogate the binary contents of the currently-running executable.

I would submit that knowing the trend of ad revs as a percentage of the whole would tell you more than a single snapshot, which has no direction itself.
I once took our team from work to a VR center, as none had tried VR before. Circumstances were top notch: Valve, super high-end PC, large rooms, wide selection of games, all possible accessories.

We all had fun and that's it. Nobody ever talked about it again nor did anybody purchase a VR device themselves. It was more like a one-time ride in a theme park. Mind you, these are tech people with a good income. If here the hit rate was zero, that's quite telling.

I think VR will at one point have a true mass appeal, and when it does, it will change everything. Personally, I hope that moment is far away. This "let's add even more options to never leave the house" trend is backfiring.
Mars is extremely cold, has sand that is poisonous, little oxygen and a low pressure atmosphere.

Looks like I used the wrong word when I said dealer.

That’s down from 97%+, the direction is more important than the current number since the change over time indicates how the company is evolving and it is obviously moving towards diversification.

Look, the obvious point here is that you can't take someone's pretext for war at face value like the fuckhead who thinks it's okay to starve Yemeni children because of Iran did. There's always some kernel of truth to hang them on, but it doesn't justify criminal military aggression, either in Ukraine or Yemen.
The earnings call will be interesting.
I kinda don't care about the aftermath of this. I think this entire thing is bad:

1. Tesla offers a warranty.

2. Tesla is unable to properly make good on the warranty because they don't continue to stock the correct parts.

3. Tesla uses a better part, but then tells the software to pretend the part is much less capable than it really is.

No, no, no. Stop right there. This should be illegal. We should not get to any successive steps where Tesla can gouge you $4,500 for someone to spend two seconds clicking in some admin UI somewhere. That is just bullshit. If you replace a part with something that is more capable (because you no longer have the less capable version), then the customer should get the benefit of the new capabilities. Full stop.

to someone who is prone to headaches with poor eyesight and long eyelashes (smudges the lenses), the idea of working in VR all day is at best delusional and at worst discriminatory
I have a non cs engineering degree and went to a coding boot camp years after college. This advice would apply to basically anyone with a non-traditional cs background looking for a coding job, the Author articulates and presents it well.
As the title is “how to” rather than “should you” I will withhold further opinions on the subject.
I’m sorry, in what world is having an actual 90 physically installed by Tesla, and enabled physically by Tesla, able to be used and reported as such in the Tesla UI less relevant than some row in the Tesla sales db? Tesla did put in the 90 and enable it!

The fact that there isn’t a receipt proving that anybody paid for it is irrelevant. It could have been a gift, a reward, a thank you, a bribe, a reasonable business decision given the parts on hand, or an accident. Regardless, that’s on Tesla.

Am I required to ask the manufacturer if they will take back the Chrome wheels when I buy a used car just to make sure they didn’t put them on accidentally?
i have done this at time, depending on various things like whether i thought i wanted the job or not.

i prob read it somewhere as advice.

In terms of qualifications or just being a good fit for the position, does it sound like I might be a good fit? Maybe I'm missing some experience? For instance, I haven't done 'x' but, to me, that's baby stuff. But are there some other things?

The main idea at this point is less 'to learn' and more to 'address aspects of my skills/experience/etc. that did not come thru during the interview'.

Although I agree, when you look around, and especially when you look at AWS, Hetzner's offer is still excellent in terms of value for money.

The pricing on the RAV4 is nuts. For that commute, you could sell it and buy a used low-range EV, like a 2018 BMW i3:

https://driverbase.com/research/vehicles/bmw/i3/2018

and end up with ~$42K in pocket.

(It is particularly inexpensive because they significantly improved the range in 2019. However, the 2018 would easily do your commute.)

We ended up buying one in lieu of trading in an ICE pickup truck for a backordered electric F150.

To me, the crazy thing is that we could apparently sell you the used i3 we bought earlier this year for a 36% profit, and you could end up with a 60% discount on the i3 (vs. pre-Ukraine prices) by switching to it from the RAV4!
If a child really wanted to do something with a web app or something highly concurrent then sure. However, in my expereince kids typically want to engage in programming to do something particular. Make a game, make some music, etc.

I'd probably introduce someone to SonicPi after something like Scratch. That way they can make some music and have some fun while learning some kind of Ruby. It's built to be educational so should be straight forward to pick up following the tutorials and lesson plans.

Elixir is a fine language really. I don't think you're wrong in anyway, it probably would teach some useful skills while also being less frustrating to learn than something like C, but I'm not sure there's much point in a child learning a language for the sake of it. They're also less likely to enjoy it.
The problem is it's not just a software tweak, you're also lugging around 30kWh of batteries. They are useful when they add range; less so when they're just dead mass.

The response to this would be, fine reduce my range, but also swap out the battery for the proper size.
not everywhere. you have to pick it up in san francico for example
>You could publish a dozen similar anecdotes every day for a decade. What's unusual about this one is that the girl was stupid enough to later admit she'd been lying.

So? Once again, they are anecdotes. I can similarly provide thousands of anecdotes showing presumption of innocence. It means nothing except that those cases happened.

Do you have any proof "it is not a set of beliefs that people are willing to put into practice" on a systematic scale?
For the commit message, for time-keeping, in order to assign it back to her when the changes were made.
you should probably at least consider selling it according to these numbers.
Do you really think that's going to be the sticking point if someone tries to sue over it?
As an elixir engineer, start with something much lower level like Racket or Lisp first! Elixir has lots of shiny features but IMO it would be distracting / disorienting to someone transitioning from a no-code platform. Lack of a repl is also something to consider.
Some fees recoup costs. Some are explicitly for the purpose of getting more money from the buyer without putting it in the list price, and aren't a cost to the dealer at all.
You often have to pick them up at a service center.

Any light that is passing through a pv/window is not being converted into electricity, a solar panel that is both a window and a PV cell is not good at doing either

If you make that window reflective, now you have a bad mirror, a bad solar panel and a bad window
>but why does the extra money go to the dealership rather than the manufacturer?

Because the manaufacturer decided to not raise the price. This means the next person now has the ability to raise the price.
But even in that case, the restriction comes from law, not an arbitrary decision made by a private company.
>I far prefer the transparent pricing of Tesla

An interesting comment considering this is above a story of Tesla cutting functionality via a software update for a customer years after purchase and demanding thousands to undo it. That sort of stuff, their lackluster QC and the erratic behavior of the CEO has me pretty skeptical of them as a company.
Dealing with drivers is not a good use of my time either. It's one of the reasons I enjoy Linux as much as I do, actually. I plug hardware in and it works. No driver discs, no searching the web, or visiting a manufacturer's website to download drivers. Just plug-and-play. Only driver I had to install by any choice or action on my part was the NVIDIA driver (which was easily selected from a GUI tool in the control panel) to replace the slower but open source Nouveau driver, and I only had to do that once, way back when I first installed Linux on this particular machine.

No such issue with either of my laptops tho, which both have Intel video hardware (therefore just worked with the default open source drivers by default).
Because Linux isn't a _product_, it's a piece of infrastructure. Whereas the suite of technologies you list are products, where a company gets rewarded financially for them working well.

Frankly, people aren't usually interested in the last 10% to 'make it work' if it isn't a labor of love for them OR they're getting paid to make the last 10% work. When its no longer fun, they want to move onto the next thing. A LOT of a successful software product simply isn't fun, its just work that needs to get done.
Didn't read the Twitter thread, did ya, bunky?
Is having to write "SELECT [...] WHERE user_id=<123>" really considered a security hole? Isn't that how like every service in existence operates? Coming up with complicated auth systems and patterns just because you are scared you will accidentally skip that WHERE clause seems bizarre to me.
Not exactly what you're looking for, but many sports fans have discovered if they disconnect the center channel of their surround sound system, they can effectively mute the commentators without muting the rest of the broadcast.
It absolutely is up to the law to set the standard. Wishing people would all live up to your ethical standards for no reason will always have the same result: no difference. You can wish it all you want but it’s never going to actually cause an improvement to the world.

Making unethical behavior illegal actually does have an impact on what people do because it changes their cost/reward decision
You seem very intent on defending this sort of behavior. I wonder why?

In my not so humble opinion, while the used market can do what it may, MSRP is MSRP. This goes for GPUs as much as it goes for cars. I understand shortages. I am ok with waiting lists. I do not appreciate profiteering. Any dealership that tried to stick me with such a markup not only would blow the sale, but would not get my business in the future.
Not only will Tesla do something like this, but it seems half their customers will defend Tesla for doing it. So there isn't even consumer pressure for reform. Tesla is going to keep doing shit like this because their fanboys will continue to defend it.
Except that 30kWh of batteries cost several thousand $ wholesale, whereas heated seats cost pennies.
Do you remember which one? What do you think would be the source of latency at least in the local machine setup (not over network). Would not passing window manager commands be much faster than passing video or pixel level information?
It has been hovering around 80% for a few years now, hasn't it?
I agree - it's definitely not the right time to be getting a new car if you can help it. I said to myself I'd drive this car for at least 10 years...what's another year or two to let prices come back to earth.
If we're considering Administrator / root access as trivially available, then any exploit becomes trivial itself. Even on a BIOS machine root can overwrite the MBR / kernel / initramfs to contain an exploit.
Yaris 2007. The only things we needed to change on it in 5 years were filters, tyres, brake pads (previous owner braked a lot), a corroded brake line (previous owner kept it outside), and a stolen windshield wiper (including arm), for which we used one from a defunct Citroen C3 (had to use a saw to make it fit).

The aluminum engine is great for fuel efficiency, and the chain transmission instead of belt is convenient.
So You’ve Decided to Unfollow Me
How about, "I’m just going to take this question home to my office and work on it while out of all contact on no specific schedule so that I am not involuntarily preoccupied by my perception of a stranger watching me?"

No? I thought not. That’s why I simply avoid those kinds of hiring processes.
$500 is a far cry from $15,000. It's still insane for what amounts to some paperwork and processing fees though.
You wrote that you don't care about politics. Then you complained about agile style teamwork and related it to pronouns and trans politics, despite the two having zero with each other.

That is not just caring about politics, that is actively bringing it up. And it is not just taking side, but it is going out of way to blame the side youbare opposed to for stuff they have nothing to do with. (Like your issue to focus).

You do care about that stuff it seems to and you do care a lot about pronouns.

I can't wait to see how the space "industry" changes course now that China and Russia are firmly against doing anything with the rest of the developed world in space. The U.S. undeniably has an edge when it comes to deploying satellites and "heavy lift" capability. I'm unsure how the largest portions of the ISS were put into orbit, I assume the shuttle was pivotal here? Nonetheless, it'll be interesting to see how Russia adapts. Hopefully we don't end up with more military capability in space than we already have.
