The suppliers of car makers probably would gladly sell the components but they have to be careful as their largest customer might want to grab a premium here as well. Sometimes they still sell the exact same parts under another brand name though.

I believe Tesla has far fewer suppliers as other car makers so they probably also have a larger influence on the few that they have.

Aren't polyswitches too sluggish for a car of electronics? Perhaps sensible for starting the motor though.

When your next project runs in a different framework or language, you'd be using a different ORM. It feels like a waste of time learning ORM. Plus it's difficult to optimize.
the idea of a spectrum is still relatively new. Medicine goes through these fads all the time. There's also a natural tendency to define syndromes broader than they actually are. It still seems a very loose definition of the term, as they still, as far as I know, have yet to identify the underlying biological mechanism.

This is not to diminish anyone's suffering. There's also a danger of taking false refuge in a syndrome that can be equally demoralizing and even paralyzing. No one should be defined by their diseases or medical conditions.
As someone who has repaired both old and new cars, I would agree. I've rebuilt a VW Beetle from the ground up - tore the whole engine apart, new bores, the works. I could do this in a couple of afternoons on the Beetle, but I don't think I could do it in a month on a modern car. However, I won't need to do it to a modern car. A Beetle with 100k miles is ready for a total rebuild. A modern car with 100k miles is ready for a fluids change.

The biggest problem I have with newer cars is all the add-on stuff, and pickup trucks are the best example. My first truck, a 1985 F150 (straight-6 300, what a beautiful engine) didn't have power windows, locks, air conditioning, or even a radio. Why can't we buy a bare-bones vehicle anymore? You don't need that stuff on a farm or work vehicle. Why do we have to have touch screens and telemetry? Why do we have to have a full stack of software that is totally inaccessible to the end user? And what total idiots think that over-the-air interfaces (LTE) that let you program things like acceleration and braking were a good idea?

I admit I do like backup cameras, though...

I agree, in 15 years, we won't miss ICE for daily driving. EVs will be that good. I say this as someone who gets all nostalgic when I smell the motocross magic of VP and castor oil burning. We'll have solar panels on our roofs to help charge our vehicles, and I won't miss cleaning up 2-stroke trimmers and leaf blowers when they get all gummed up and won't start.
If you borrow 80k to buy that 100k house (20% down), and the house drops to 50k, you still owe 80k. You need to be able to sell it for at least 80k, or you ain't getting that other house for 50k. So what happens is anyone that bought at an inflated price aren't going to sell for a number of years (until their equity gets in line with what they owe, or inflation brings the price of the house back up).

Problem is that people were panic buying at inflated prices, because they thought prices would go up further in the future and had to move fast. But they get in over their head, and a slight disruption (life events happen) can cause them to miss payments. Now they are forced to sell or abandon the house, and the bank is forced to take a loss (if in the case of a short sell). And if someone is already losing their house, they aren't going to be doing much maintenance on it so the house ends up in poorer quality even if the current owner doesn't specifically try to sabotage the house. So now you end up with a bunch of houses on the market that aren't really move-in ready, so investors sweep them up limiting the supply, and cause the cycle to bounce all over again.

By what definition, principle or authority do you determine what is AI?

Don't take this the wrong way, but I find that people with more knowledge of the subject tend to be more open about what they include, whereas people with less knowledge tend to do more gatekeeping. AI has a "moving goal post" issue that is notable enough to warrant a wikipedia page:

> meaning that to deploy those apps requires embedding an entire web browser into every app

It doesn't require it, that's just what they choose, and it has little to do with the language. (Besides, if you actually observe them—and ignore what they tell you about liking JS—then it's clear that most of them hate their preferred language.) Languages and the bindings that a particular runtime exposes are orthogonal. You can have GTK apps written in JS, for example, or you can write a program in JS that compiles into a binary that runs on a microcontroller[2].

This is much more of a problem with the culture of Electron and the adjacent NPM ecosystem than it is anything else. Conflating the source of these problems is a great way to tank any would-be activism meant to solve them.

For sure. What troubles me here is that Facebook didn't fight it. What I'd like them to do is to fight overly intrusive requests all the way to the Supreme Court. Maybe this is trying to say they that feel that they got hoodwinked? If so, they need to say that very clearly. Because I'm not at all confident that Facebook is particularly committed to user privacy, especially when they are eager to suck up to politicians.

Memory leaks still happen if you have a misunderstanding of memory management, regardless of language. Keeping references to dead objects is one straightforward way to do it. C++ also has smart pointers so it’s usually a case of someone writing code that is smarter than they are. One example: since some people in Python don’t think about memory they are prone to writing loops that grow memory proportionally to the loop counter in machine learning code (e.g., implicit graph references across loops).

It's part of the "act like a chicken running around with its head cut off" antipattern.

In many organizations there is a lot of pressure after a dramatic event to come out with a statement right away and this denies people the chance to deliberate about what the message should be.

A big problem with Facebook's PR is that they reflexively deny that Facebook has any negative effects, that they had responsibility for anything, that anything is their fault, etc. It's a major reason why people think they are out of touch and why Zuckerberg has such low favorables. You're better off keeping your mouth shut and letting people think you don't give a f--k as opposed to writing a press release like that and proving it.

They've been outmaneuvered for one thing because even before the supreme court struck down Roe there has been a drumbeat about the risks that people could have social media and other digital communications used against them in an abortion case and those people have been waiting for a real case to turn up.

This seems to be a bold statement for an article that boils down to:

>Think of it this way. If you're a gay person, and the people around you say that men having sex with men is "abominable," does that make you more or less likely to freely express your sexuality?

>This IS violence and it's a way of silencing gay people. Dehumanization is violence. This type of speech is why gay people are marginalized and why they feel the need to keep their sexuality a secret.

There's a long history in many places of criminalising and discriminating against those who are gay.

That's wrong.

And it's understandable that folks whose liberties have been infringed by such laws and cultural repression would treat their orientation as a political issue and push their elected representatives to support their liberty.

And that's generally a good thing. But legislators have one primary tool -- legislating. Which is why we get laws that criminalise one thing or another, whether that may be appropriate or not.

At the same time, there's an old saw:

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will
never hurt me.

And that's, for the most part (patterns of harassment are a small subset of unpleasant speech and are already criminalised in many places), the truth.

I am a practitioner of BDSM. Which is often demonised as "abuse."

It isn't, of course, as everything I do with a partner is consensual.

I generally don't publicly discuss my sex life, because it's private.

But if I did (as I am now), and you were to say that I'm a "rapist" or an "abuser" or a "criminal" because of my practices, you'd be wrong. But saying such things isn't "violence."

Rather it's just ignorant, unpleasant and busybody[0] behavior.

If we accept your argument, then we'd need to ban any speech that anyone finds objectionable, uncomfortable or unpleasant/nasty.

And if we were to do that, I imagine you'd find yourself sharing a jail cell with the pastor you're deriding for his "violence."

Is that the sort of world in which you want to live? For me, the answer is an emphatic "no."

I've seen so much skepticism about this. People without EVs can't seem to believe that brake pads don't experience much wear on EVs.

I owned a Toyota Prius for many years, and while not a pure EV, it still used regenerative braking, and after several years of driving, the brake pads were no more worn than when I bought it.

I traded it for a Fiat 500e, pure EV, and I don't expect to have to replace the brake pads on it, probably ever.

I am curious how these are gotcha questions? To me they are the proper questions to ask, as a manager, they probably don’t care about react or vue or any other framework, they care about conversions and revenue and other metrics. That’s exactly what I want to understand, so that I can contextualize and see if React might or might not make sense.

Reasons why React might actually make sense, to show I didn’t just cherry-pick this as a “well duh obviously it’s stupid”:

- we use shopify as a backend, and they published a nifty new react checkout widget that we could replace our convoluted checkout with
- all our web developers are actually coming from react, and hate the current jquery mess, and really want to change. It would be time-intensive, but team morale would skyrocket,
- another department is planning to move to react as well

After a long time in tech, I really have learnt to not really care about technology that much (as you might see in my article about PHP and JS :).
Oh I certainly won't say that it was easy, mind you. The artwork was just done over a long, long period of time. As mentioned elsewhere in the comments, my 8088 MPH blog post from 2015 already shows an early version of one of the images (and a couple are even older). :)

Our toolset for this demo did include an image converter (CGAArt), which can in fact use several version of the CIELAB formulas for its metric, among others. That's by reenigne from our team, who has commented here so I'll let him elaborate on it if he wishes. Personally when I do this sort of artwork, I prefer to tailor it by hand to the target video mode; as you noted, certain parts were indeed converted programmatically, but a lot of that was down to time constraints prior to the party release. In the final version, I plan to rework/redo those.
I think you all can figure it out, it’s not a huge percentage increase vs people’s normal usage, and there’s plenty of time to incrementally improve - battery production is currently a pretty hard bottleneck on the production rate.

Yes. It's literally a crime. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intimidation#United_States

Note that the way you phrased that, "You are evil unless you pay me reparations." makes it so that the person isn't considered evil if they pay. That is significantly different to "You are evil therefore you pay me reparations.", in which the burden of proof of evilness is not based on payment. The person is still considered evil if they pay; they pay because they accept that and want to make things right. That's important.
The funny thing is I'd be totally okay paying $500/mo for good Internet service outside the city. The problem with this is that even in the city where Comcast has it's headquarters they will lie to you and then not show up at the agreed upon time scheduled 3 months in advance /and paid for/, then try to blame you for it and take no accountability. Which is exactly what Comcast did when I tried to get connected in my move last month. So, sure, organizations have Product teams that focus on pricing strategy, and part of that is amortizing capital costs to serve those customers and also averaging out the per-customer cost of service, but a bigger issue is that Comcast is just really bad at doing it's supposed job.

I wish there was a rural fiber or muni fiber project near me that I could subscribe to, and I'd happily pay 3x-4x what I pay Comcast, if I had some assurance that the person on the other end of the phone would actually keep their commitments and know what they are doing.

That's as it may be, and it varies by culture, but it is clear that there can be no requirement for an "authoritarian society" before there could be smaller/narrower vehicles sharing the roads with larger ones, as this is already commonplace in many different kinds of societies around the world. In some places motorcycles/mopeds/tuktuks are more common than full size cars.
An extra couple clicks does not really seem like a major stretch, especially for anything that should be secure.

Worst case do what many things I have seen do, the act of clicking the button opens a web page that simply states "thank you for doing X". That way regardless of what platform they click it form, it works.

I am assuming you are already building the functionality into a portal that managers can go to and see a list of everyone, so why replicate that functionality in email?

Wanting to have this functionality in email feels like a severe case off over engineering for things we have been doing for a very long time.

Electricity is going up like mad in England too, they’ve recently changed the rules so suppliers can increase the price every 3 months instead of 6 months to allow more price changes.
> Yes, I'm saying that the scrapyard full of five-year-old electric cars is bearable and can be dealt with much less priority than the real environmental disaster we're heading into, full-steam.

Well, the people that owned these cars won't go "welp, was nice owning a car for five years, let's go public transport now". Instead, they'll order a new EV and cause a massive amount of emissions during its production, which might even result in more emissions than if they simply continued to drive their old ICE all along. So yes, this is very much a problem we'll need to deal with now.
Hah! Thanks for that.
