> The guy that blew up his Tesla was right

That Tesla was completely stripped from all drive train components, including battery, before blowing it up. Those parts are now in use in an EV conversion project, in a Mercedez Benz G-Class vehicle, working just fine.

So only an empty Tesla shell was blown up, everything else was repurposed.
I would recommend you watch the talk in its entirety. The presenter explicitly addresses this point. She says modern cars are marvels of technology and the problems lie in the electronics/software architecture making the entire car operation dependent on every single part. That means if one part is broken (say central door locking) modern cars often will refuse to work at all.

This is a problem in itself, but is exacerbated by overcharging for replacement parts, and by lack of free-software support to hack around such issues. Examples are given of specific models exhibiting such undesired behavior.

The additional micronutrient is not added because I pre-supposed it would need more based on the plant's reputation, it's based on what it needs to stay healthy.

It is empirically determined by watching for chlorosis on the edges of the leaves. Not enough, and the leaves grow pale; too much and the plants are poisoned. Observations showed that brazilian spinach developed chlorosis if I did not give it a bump of iron compared to the other species.

That being said, there are plenty of confounding factors so you're also correct that one may not simply conclude it is iron-hungry just because it needs more micronutrients to stay healthy. It could also be inefficient at uptake, could be a pH problem in the water, or it could be growing at a faster rate, etc. etc. A more accurate reporting of my experience would be to just say a "15uL per week bump for species like spinach" without opining on a causation.

Readers should be aware that the article is riddled with problems like this, and should not be cited as any authority on botany. For example, I also haven't taken samples of the things growing around the roots and examined them to ensure they are mycorrhizae, although I assumed they are. They could also be bacterium or any other number of phenomenon.

The mediator of the strong force, the gluon, is a different beast compared to photons. It can directly interact with itself and create more of it. Add in the math that describe it and you get an emerging behavior vastly different from the one you get for photons.

Thanks for your comment, very insightful. One quibble - in Python - for a language with preferably one way to do things there are a lot of choices! In Java you are going to get strong typing and you are going to structure your code in an OOP fashion - simply by the nature of the language. Also dependency management is a solved issue - maven for most, gradle for some. Project layout in 99% of projects follows the maven style. Maybe I just don't have the experience in Python and these decisions are obvious to someone with more time in the language. I do however enjoy coding in Python very much.
I am impressed with the vibrant colors.

> DSLs don't.

DSL is a general name to any embedded language inside a host language. C++'s templates can be used to write DSLs, they are compile-time checked. Kotlin's lambda syntax can also create very convincing DSLs[1] to describe hierarchical structures\processes, and they are fully typed, compile-time checked constructs.

There are far more to DSLs than hacky strings (regex) or chaining method calls at runtime (fluent APIs). It's a very general pattern.

[1] Example from https://kotlinlang.org/docs/type-safe-builders.html

html {

head {

title {+"XML encoding with Kotlin"}

}

body {

h1 {+"XML encoding with Kotlin"}

p {+"this format can be used as an alternative markup to XML"}

}

That's a good point. I was probably blinded by the claims in the TFA to realize it.
> the problems lie in the electronics/software architecture

Is this shown in data? My experience is quite different. <50% of my issues have been electrical in nature and the electrical ones are usually much cheaper to fix.
> Serviceability of cars in general is becoming worse, but this has nothing to do with the drive-train.

That's precisely the point the presenter of the conference was making. She even explicitly mentions there's actually good, repairable products in the electric motorbike category.

Still, that's a sad situation that's damaging to the environment and to the countless trapped customers who have a mechanically-valid car but can't drive it due to electronics/software shenanigans. Given that electric cars are marketed as an alternative to save the planet, we could reasonably expect that they be held to a higher serviceability standard... not higher than ICE vehicles mind you, just higher than the "fuck you buy a new car" attitude all car makers are displaying right now.

Never heard the term cambelt - is that UKish for timing belt? Most cars use chains these days which don't require replacement.
They already do this. It’s not unusual to add “treatment arms” to a study.

However, that still wouldn’t be enough. This was a single arm uncontrolled study. No control arm, every patient knew they were getting treatment as did the doctors.

And since you need to pre-define your study design and endpoints, you’d basically need a more rigorously designed trial to actually get approval.

But all this is intentional. You start with quick, cheap studies to see if it’s worthwhile spending more.

Biased data shows a thing....

Given this shows the engine can't differentiate between UK and US data I would implore not to use that as a sensible source of anything. Also articles from biased groups are not a 100% unbiased source and demonstrate the public perception of this again being a partisan issue that would go away if the evil blue suits in the city all disappeared.

"Python is a very complex dynamic system that pretends to be a very simple dynamic system."

Python is easy to get started with but surprisingly deep to learn and I would argue not as straightforward as Java or C#. However, I like Python tremendously and find it more elegant if not as utilitarian. I think lots of folks equate Python == easy. IMO - Python is easy to get started, difficult to master.

> An unfortunate situation has arisen where any criticism of the current situation in the country is construed as 'minimising the damage of apartheid' or something similar, with the subtext that the critic is probably racist in some way (or just too privileged to understand).

I would suggest you meditate on an alternative reality where all the people who make the criticisms are in actual fact both racist and privileged.

What would that look like? How could you tell? What if in other parallel worlds 25%, 50%, 75% of the people, or the things they say could be categorised as racist and/or privileged?

In which of these worlds would complaining about how everyone complains about racism and privilege be a good look and a constructive contribution? In which of these worlds would the person saying it actually be saying something privileged and racist?

I don't think 100% of white south Africans are privileged and racist 100% of the time when they have opinions on the running of their country, but 0% isn't my estimate either. I can see a range of answers that individuals have to that question being reasonable given their different life experiences.
> Building resistance to tyranny into technology should be a number-one priority. A big part of that is educating people to treat it as the miracle of intellect it is, instead of being dumb, ungrateful, cargo-cult consumers.

I do think unfortunately the conversation is often dominated with "So therefore terminator?..." when dealing explaining advanced computing concepts to the public.

I do wonder how much success is had in demonstrating core computing concepts with bright colours and zero code. It would have to work as science outreach does with bright colours/concepts and no equations or data despite the messy reality of research.

I used swift till 2.x, and it’s really sad that Apple missed the opportunity and didn’t wanted to promote swift outside their ecosystem, if they did that, for sure swift will be up there competing with nodejs, rails, go, rust, etc in the backend space, it was really new refreshing language.

Because I stopped using it, I don’t know how much the language changed and how it compares with go/rust in terms of performance, I would bet that it is bear go performance at least, knowing Apple seems to care about it.
SaaS churn rate correlates to how much your customer pays
It is funny how the SaaS churn rate correlates to how much a customer pays.

The retention rate for our Basic plan at howuku.com averages around 5 months.

And, the retention rate for our Premium plan is more than 12 months, and Enterprise has a 100% retention rate.

Don’t underprice your SaaS product, the thing is, by underpricing your product you will attract the wrong audience who only subscribed because it is affordable.

Another observation is that the lesser they pay the more they ask for then they bounce.

What do you think?
> Furthermore, looking at legislation coming out of the EU, which places interoperability between services as a key element of anti-monopolisation, it may well soon be impossible for any social network to implement end-to-end encryption and stay compliant.

Public key cryptography has existed for decades now. With regards to your claim, the opposite is true: it's absolutely impossible to implement true and serious end-to-end cryptography and not be compliant with interoperability standards.

That being said, in this situation, e2e would probably change nothing, because governments would likely mandate a backdoor for search warrants, and this particular case was not a fishing expedition since there was a probable cause.

> Our problem is that we have failed to defend big tech, against big govt having fallen for the 'big tech bad' narrative and now we may well reap what we sow.

Big tech doesn't need defending. The truth is that big-tech and big-govt is a much more likely alliance than big-tech and the consumer.
You seem to think that 'marketing' equals 'deception to trick people into buying a product'. This is a very narrow view.

Marketing is a much broader field [1]. Of course a part of it is about how to effectively convey an idea to someone. However, deceiving people will only work for short-term businesses, as it is much more work to build your image after a deception or schandal. That is why brands often cease to exist after a schandal, as starting a new brand is much easier.

I developed an open source app myself and I'd rather inform future users about its limitations before they use it. This way, they have a positive feeling towards the app, even though it could not deliver value in their case. This has nothing to do with budget (for my open source project, budget is ~0 anyways). You need budget for advertising, reaching out to potential customers, engage with your customers, etc. The budget needed for clearly communicating the value of your product is negligible.

You seem to think that downsides or limitations are inherently negative. Knowing a downside in advance is actually a huge advantage.

Since seabelts are a good feature of cars, this does not mean at all that they would be a good feature for sailboats. Or for bicycles. In fact, they would be a terrible and very dangerous feature!
A heat engine needs a heat difference. If you operate the hot side, the reactor, at a very hot temperature, the cool side can be quite hot too and there is still enough temperature difference to generate electricity.

The hot running cool side can be air cooled, doesn't need water.

Traditional nuclear power plants operate at low temperature, hence the cold side needs to be cool for enough temperature difference. For that cool you need water cooling.

Thorium salts and other fluorides can go to high temperatures at low pressures. It's easy to make them high temperature.

Other high temperature liquids used for cooling include sodium and lead.

That's interesting, thanks for sharing! Are you aware of how many controllers an e-Up has? How easy/expensive is it to find replacement parts? Also how many are actually in the critical path to keep the car running?

The presenter in the video says only 3 micro-controllers should be required to operate an electric car in a road-safe manner. However every car model now has hundreds of these and a failure in a single part can take the whole car to refuse to start. So if you find an electric car with few and standard off-the-shelf components, you struck a gold mine and should let us all know about it :)
You fixed a wrecked Tesla?! What repairs have you accomplished?
No, people use Google Maps.

Maps are social. When I search for a place in Google maps, I get reviews, pictures, it feels alive.

When I search for a place on Apple Maps, firstly it may not even exist because who cares about Apple maps, and secondly it's likely to have few reviews or photos.

I just tried with a local restaurant. Google maps has dozens of photos and 100 reviews. Apple maps has 1 review and no photos.

If you just need a satnav, then Apple maps is OK I guess, if it has the place you're going to. But why take the risk? I never open the thing.

I remember interviewing for shopping centre chain (mall). They had this in 2018 already. It had an accuracy of +/- 1m but they had ways to normalise it to the layout of the store. Didn't require them to even be on the network just have their wifi on.

They not only used it to price their storefronts but also they also could tell their renters which parts of the store had higher traffic. Meaning they would know what sells better, where people go from which section. It's literally web analytics but irl.
