Don't forget you often can't charge when away from home. So it's more like 50 miles a day of charging not 100.

Most cars charge around 3-5 miles per hour on 120v, and if you have an 8 hour job, 30 minutes for lunch, and 30 minute commute (approximately average I believe) you are gone for 9.5 hours a day. That's assuming no dropping off kids, picking up kids, grocery shopping, etc.
Honestly, this is an awesome use of DALL-E and I'll probably start doing the same for my blog

It's perfect because:

- The images just need to get across a vibe, they don't need to be perfect

- It's a low-value enough use of images that you'd probably never commission a human artist to do them; instead you'd either use stock photos, or skip having images completely

- The nature of header images for a tech blog tends toward the abstract/surreal, which means it's either hard to find the right stock images, or the ones you do find will be super abstract to the point of being boring

All of these make it a great use of the technology

macos is most popular with security folks. Programmers into security and *nix exploit devs might be into it from the small sample I observed. Even among very technical infosec people windows is still their daily driver but macs are in close competition. The more software security focused people are the more unixy they get I guess?
A generator always works at the optimal RPM for power generation. Cars do not.

Range extenders like the Chevy Volt and the BMW i3 REX have taken advantage of this. The drivetrain is 100% electric, there's just a gas generator to charge the battery when needed. Even on the Prius the accelerator has no direct effect on the engine RPM, the car picks the optimal RPM and any extra power is fed to the batteries.

Dunno why this model didn't catch up more. The current hybrid model is the worst of both worlds. You've got an electric drive train with a small battery and a full gasoline engine with all of its 2000+ moving parts that can fail.

That's kinda a different thing, though. People using VPNs to circumvent national internet restrictions is one thing. Securing a corporate network is another.
V8 has such a lax approach to memory management that I sometimes wish I could drop support for everything but Firefox. For example, Promise.race() leaks memory in V8: https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues/17469#issuecomment-685...

Another issue I ran into recently is that `Symbol.for(str)` will cause the entirety of `str` to be allocated forever in Chromium, but not in Firefox. (It's inevitable that `Symbol.for()` will have some memory impact, as a global allocation, but it's possible to mitigate it somewhat.)

IMO it's too bad that the effort to create a Node-alike driven by Spidermonkey instead of V8 never got anywhere.
It's interesting how physics lends itself to lay misunderstandings (like the parent comment) more than any other field of study, ie. chemistry.
I'm a fan of US Mobile personally. They let you make a custom plan that has ONLY sms, so you don't pay for what you don't need. Can also add minutes at will for $1. Bonus of choosing the underlying carrier.
i got banned from one of the big cloud providers when i was testing my backup client against a bunch of different storage backends. was too lazy to delete all the backups: just deleted the payment info thinking they’d drop my data after the free credits were consumed instead of letting my payment-less account accrue a debt.

maybe banned from multiple providers: not really sure as i only found out years after the fact when i wanted to use this particular vendor for something else.
I don't live in a single-family home. I live in an apartment complex with 50+ apartments.

Thanks for the explanation! That sounds exactly what I'm looking for, and I will definitely read those Schoenberg books. Really appreciate the pointer.
I thought the same thing when I noticed he's an economist - though I do understand what he's saying - the furin cleavage site is suspicious AF. For example

(https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5...)

"""
Furin cleavage sites are also found in certain bat-origin MERS-like merbecovirises, but not—with the exception of SARS-CoV-2—in the sarbecovirus lineage. The presence of a furin cleavage motif at the SARS-CoV-2 S1–S2 interface is therefore highly unusual, leading to the smoking gun hypothesis of manipulation that has recently gained considerable attention as a possible origin of SARS-CoV-2. However, with analogy to influenza, it was shown many years ago that the simple insertion of a polybasic site into an H3 virus does not result in a high pathogenicity phenotype7 and is likely to only function in the context of a series of other genomic changes provided by a process of natural selection. """

i.e. an actual scientist is saying it's suspicous (sort of), and his only rebuttal to that point of view is "just that doesn't guarantee anything". If scientists WERE doing this (which they probably were/are), it makes sense that while it doesn't guarantee anything, if they did get lucky and achieve a highly pathogenic phenotype and it were to contaminate something, that'd be that.

What I really don't understand is why this is so abjectly anti-US: US scientists trained Chinese ones in biotech, and they fucked up, and that's the US's fault? So if the US helps china, they're bad, and if they don't and 'try to contain china', they're bad too. Ok. Note this guy has been criticized for his stances on China. Hard to say whether that's reasonable or nationalist backlash, but this doesn't help IMO.

Reads like he's confirmation-biased himself into being certain that he knows what's happened, like many other conspiracy theorists. He's also convinced that there are forces suppressing "the truth". The difference is I guess he's someone well known.
How do you verify they are who they say they are, though? And verifying their picture matches their name?

Heh, indeed, I think I've spent $50 in 2 years. But I can charge at home, although I spent 1 year at 120v. Many live in apartments and can't charge at home which changes the situation quite a bit.
As someone who has done genetic screening to avoid passing a genetic illness to my children, it is not as easy as it seems.

In every IVF session, if you are young and healthy, they may be able to extract around ten eggs. Of those ten eggs, 50% will valid and will get fecundated. You are down to 5. Then, in our case, 50% of the embryos will be carriers and have to be discarded. You are down to two or three that can be implanted. And, from those, you are lucky if one gets implanted in the womb correctly and produces a baby.

What I mean it's that you can choose to a level, but you are quite limited by numbers, even if the technology improves or you are luckier, and you can get more embryos to choose from each IVF cycle.

All that, while the mother needs to be taking a massive amount of hormones that will make her gain weight, feel tired, etc... It's not a walk in the park.

By the way, we joked about the "boutique baby" with the doctor, and she told us that there are many traits that they could select but that it was illegal for them to do so.
I'm not the OP. I never claimed that sawdust in a home woodshop is a fire risk (it's not), just that brushed motors aren't what you make them out to be.
I've got more experience in this than I'm betting you expect. Wood dust isn't explosive, and class 2 protection for explosive dusts allow sealed case motors. Wood is class 3 at best, flammable fibers.

I think we are looking at this from different angles. Certain persons might not have a clue on right/wrong and/or simply lack a moral compass. That doesn’t mean there is a whole field of study on ethics and morality, from which I am viewing this.
1. Build tests (if you don't already have them) so you can refactor with confidence that you haven't created new problems.

2. Break into milestones so you can see progress. Celebrate the wins.

3. Find another developer to help out — you can bitch to each other, rubber duck ideas, and avoid some of the loneliness.

Even with these ideas, it can still just be nigh impossible to refactor if not enough resources are devoted to the task. Best of luck to ya, though!
The code is already public on IPFS I think.
That's not at all true. A CDN is a content delivery network. There is nothing that says it isn't a network of a single host on the same machine as the original content.

It's just a cache that returns content faster than the original content.

> The function of everything from Visa/Mastercard, Fedwire, SWIFT, Paypal, Western Union, etc, all rebase onto one global network with countless businesses competing on top of it to provide the most appealing user experience.

Even if they do rebase on top of one global network, what incentive do these companies have to change their product offerings or their fees? Consumers will not care what Visa/Mastercard or Western Union use on the backend, could be carrier pigeons as far as most people are concerned.

What would cause fintech to become more competitive? I'd love to see every transaction fee, loan rate, etc. go to zero. But would "one global network" lead to that?
SOHCAHTOA (https://mathworld.wolfram.com/SOHCAHTOA.html) is how I learned about the trig functions back in school. It's stuck with me all these years, along with the quadratic formula (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadratic_formula) from algebra class.
Exactly. Even the article gave a couple cases of convincing profile deepfakes. Admittedly they’re exceptional cases, but in general progress tends to be made.

I love the substance in your comment. Learned so much.

I am also impressed by your counterpoints to the published data and analysis. Deeply revealing in so many ways. Again, thank you.

Further to that, I am in awe of your analysis of the paper I linked. You know, where they authors say, quoting:

"At the start of RE<C, we had shared the attitude of many stalwart environmentalists: We felt that with steady improvements to today’s renewable energy technologies, our society could stave off catastrophic climate change. We now know that to be a false hope— but that doesn’t mean the planet is doomed."

and then, quoting, once again...

"Suppose for a moment that it had achieved the most extraordinary success possible, and that we had found cheap renewable energy technologies that could gradually replace all the world’s coal plants—a situation roughly equivalent to the energy innovation study’s best-case scenario. Even if that dream had come to pass, it still wouldn’t have solved climate change."

. . .

Every single one of these discussions reveals just how intolerant factions have become. Nobody is open to anything because the KNOW what they've been told is the truth and that's that. This is indistinguishable from intolerant religious belief. A world where all ideas are sacred and unassailable isn't a place where progress can flourish.

Give it a couple of decades, maybe people will wake up and smell the horseshit for what it is. What's sad about this is that we are going to spend decades wasting money, resources and valuable talent on futile pursuits rather than on things that could actually help humanity.

. . .

The other interesting thing is that everyone automatically assumes that questioning what we are being told is equivalent to climate change denial. This is NOT --AT ALL-- WHAT I AM SAYING. In fact, I go out of my way to explain that humanity has done this, how we've done it and more. And still, people go for straight destroying the messenger because they can't handle it.

It is OK to say "Look, this is real, but what you are telling me we need to do is questionable, and this is why...". But, no, we can't do that, because it is now a cult.
Let me rephrase — the type of people (consultants, VCs, industry analysts, blockchain bros, etc.) who use the term "fintech" on a regular basis consider crypto/blockchain technologies to be a key area of fintech innovation.

From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_technology: "[Fintech] is the technology and innovation that aims to compete with traditional financial methods in the delivery of financial services. Artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Cloud computing, and big data are regarded as the 'ABCD' (four key areas) of FinTech."

In contrast, the credit card networks which have been with us for decades are considered to be "traditional financial methods". Even Visa thinks about itself as a company that partners with "fintechs" and "fintech enablers" rather than being a "fintech" itself, e.g. "Our worldwide network helped fintechs like Chime, Rappi and Airwallex deliver on their vision".

Seeing what people complaining about "common core" mathematics are complaining about, and it is understandable that they are complaining.

At some point the idea came about that for things like addition, subtraction or multiplication, we should teach multiple different ways of viewing the same concept (like addition) in the hopes that even if students don't really understand the classic approach one of the other approaches makes sense. So perhaps the classic explanation of borrowing in subtraction does not make sense to some students, but one of a few other equivalent ways of handling it does make sense.

But then it got turned into a system where all students need to learn all these different different methods, and apply them in both homework and on tests. Which totally defeats the point. The who idea was that some students may find some methods useful and intuitive, and others find different methods useful and intuitive, and as long as every student finds some method can can work with we are better off than only teaching the classic method of the concept.

Very cool. I did a presentation with a colleague in a mid 90s context which was mostly focused on disk drives. Though we got into some earlier parts as well with the help of the MIT archive. It made you realize how the categories blurred.

I started to put together a video at one point but only got part-way there.
> I disagree that this means "giving someone else access to all your money".

It means giving someone the information that is required to withdraw money directly from your account. Yes, they're only supposed to withdraw the amount you specifically authorized for that transaction, but the fact remains that you have given them direct access to your account. The same risk exists when you write a check. Mitigating that risk by having a financial intermediary involved is, as I said, a genuine service. If you personally don't value that service, then of course you would not use it. But others do value it.

> all instances of fraud I had on my debit cards have been resolved painlessly.

That's fine, but I have known plenty of people who did not have the same painless experience.

Again, you're saying fiber optics provides features that telephony doesn't. The fact that telephony usually runs over copper cables, and telephony over fiber optics is a recent thing, doesn't change the fact that the comparison makes no sense.

Telephony (websockets) runs over the copper cables or fiber optics (HTTP/1 or HTTP/2).

Just get a card with wide acceptance and no annual fee: any basic Visa or Mastercard from any bank.

Keep it simple and just get one from the bank you already use for checking -- then you will only have one online banking portal to use for both your card and your checking account.

Set up autopay for one of your monthly bills to use the card. Set up another autopay from your checking account to pay off the card's balance every month.

Do that, and you will have a credit card that is regularly used, with a history of paying the bill on time, without spending any money you would not have spent anyway.
There will be more chargers and better integration with the car in the future.

Tesla already does this: their systems automatically know where you need to charge and will reroute if all stalls are taken. The car will even heat the battery to optimal charging temperature to save charging time at the cost of range. But they have better vertical integration than other manufacturers.

Other manufacturers are slowly following. The tech is there, it's just an API call. But for now it's all in the hands of lawyers and MBAs.
Refactoring to patterns by Joshua Kerievsky might help. It’s not the best book (Refactoring by Martin Fowler us another), but it might help with planning the work. Quantifying cost and writing up a proposal then at least based on a defensible foundation.

Looking at overall mortality seems pretty limited. In my 20s I would sit at my desk all week, then go all-out on the weekend. Long bike rides, hikes, backpacking trips, etc. I had pretty good base-level fitness, but ended up with knee pain and minor injuries from strain and lack of flexibility. A near-daily gym habit has solved all of that for me. Seems like maintaining flexibility requires somewhat regular practice, and that's how you avoid injury.

> I disagree that a debit card doesn't involve financial intermediation. The bank is still the intermediary and holds the money

But there's still only one transaction involved: the bank pays the merchant directly from your bank account. With a credit card, there are two transactions: the credit card company pays the merchant and you pay the credit card company in a separate transaction (and of course you pay once for multiple purchases made with the card). That's the intermediation that is not present with a debit card.
Both banks I've used for credit cards recently, Capital One and U.S. Bank, both show regularly updated credit scores. This is a relatively new thing and quite welcome!
#2 is actually a good point. There's the ability to fork, but I haven't actually saved what it was forked from. Would be pretty easy to add to the recipe page. Something like "forked from", and "forks of". #1 is pretty easy to do, since it's all markdown, just include the link to the pie dough recipe. At some point I think it would be good to do cooking techniques as well; it took me a long time to actually figure out what I was missing with sourdough (drop test to see if the starter was good), so I would sometimes get really great results and sometimes really poor and I couldn't figure out why. Also want to have kind of a pantry list, where items off your grocery list get stored, that way it could warn you if you bought bacon and it's about to go out of date, I hate wasting food.
There's actually an interesting section of the book "Moonwalking with Einstein" where it talks about a study was done on chess masters where they showed them the board in positions that would be impossible under the rules and suddenly the master chess players didn't do all that much better than random people.

The suggestion in the book was that really Grandmasters have spent so much time practicing, that they have memorized the game and the board to a certain extant that allows them to more easily handle the board and all the pieces on it cognitively.
You could make the same argument for Google searches. In my experience, yes, Google is trying to get better at understanding the (average) user, but average user really makes no efforts to get better at even basic ways to search better. Obviously advanced users try to get better, but both ends require engineer better search engines and better understanding of advanced user interfaces.
