> Presumably the CEO bring something to the table - capital, fundraising ability. I mean why else have him/her?

You're so close! In fact, there's an expectation that the more you pay a CEO, the better they perform, and that those making the most must be the best. This seems to be a largely-unexamined assumption that "just makes sense," but it turns out when you try to see whether it's true, it's not[0].

By and large, highly-paid CEOs are a drain on corporate profits. As the research paper I linked shows, even those highly-compensated CEOs who win awards end up performing worse than their non-award-winning counterparts.

Everybody seems to like the idea of a CEO providing strong leadership and deserving their high compensation. The stress, they say, makes it worth it. Besides, if we didn't pay them that much, someone else would! And yet the facts don't seem to support any of that.

You do not need to send the additional data out of band unless you are claiming that sha-2 (the hash function used in ipfs) is vulnerable to second preimage attacks.
Interesting article, but I would suggest to the author changing the title to something like "How to present to people.", as at present, the title treats executives as some feudal lords that need to be specially appeased. Of course, job duties differ, but the advice the article gives is rather universal for any internal business/company/industrial presentation.
Don’t misunderstand, I’m not saying that I don’t think a driver’s side airbag is not worth it, I’m sure it is. But if that’s all it was, surely we would’ve just put a different steering wheel in the American version. The reality is probably more complicated, but it gets stuffed into this little anecdote.
I love Podman so much. It's seamless integration with systemd is a killer feature, as well as being able to generte Kubefiles. My main problem used to be feature parity with docker networking, but that seems to be mostly resolved since 4.0.

Trying to convince my team to use podman instead of docker (even though I've been using it myself primarily for months without issues), that's another story.
But what about Africa?!

But seriously, you can just put it in Tupperware and keep it for later.
The USA really needs better consumer protection laws. In my country that would clearly be an illegal bundled sale and illegal bait and switch. If you advertise product A for X amount, then a customer with X amount in their pocket should be allowed to walk out with product A, any deviation from that should be illegal.

(slightly off topic, but in my country consumer laws also mandate that sticker and advertised prices must be the final price including all taxes. The standard USA practice of stickers/adverts with pre-tax price is also absurdly anti-consumer).

> The military math of artillery is that Russians run close to 50 000 shells per day, Ukrainians have no adequate response and attack civilians.

That was in June. Now they have HIMARS and Russian stuff is blowing up left and right, even deep into enemy territory like in this case, and it is so humiliating that Russia won't even recognize that their whole aviation regiment was blown up in a single attack in daylight in front of thousands of tourists at nearby beach resort, despite earlier threats of Armageddon if targets in Crimea were to be attacked.

This war will stop when Russia finally recognizes its humiliating defeat. It's now day 160-something of a 3-day "special military operation", perhaps a time to face the reality, no?

I've seen a lot more interest for this kind of tool in enterprise environments recently. Never seen this kind of interest before. I'm curious on how this is going to pan out.
I agree with the article's point, except not to the exclusion of ego, and I also agree with all of your points. Part of their hypothesis is legal/political, but it's nowhere near a "political screed that doesn't belong on HN".

My wife has a large truck and we bought it when we had no neighbors living in the middle of nowhereville Montana. She bought it because she was terrified to drive her prius around because bigger trucks would tail gate, break too late and nearly kill her, and generally antagonize the smaller car. So she got a giant Dodge Ram and now feels safe to drive. Now that we've moved out to the city, she feels even safer.

I like that when I hit two deer in it there was zero, absolutely zero, damage to the vehicle. Thank you brush guard.
And I wouldn’t date a woman who judges me based on the kind of vehicle I drive. Oh well, I’m sure she’s a real winner.
Automotive EE here… I’ve been trying to explain this to people for a DECADE.

It’s all exactly correct.

Obama’s emission rules basically were impossible. So they made a CAFE-exception for footprint.

They told the mfgs “we’re going to grade you on footprint”, the mfgs said ok “we’ll give you footprint”.

Trump admin was 100% right, but this feel good bs damage is done. Biden admin has seemingly doubled down where Obama admin failed so badly. I want to believe it’s good intentions and they don’t know, but I’m pretty sure they all know the cause and effects here.
(Outside looking in perspective. I am not Indian.)

When I worked as a software engineer are capital one earlier in my career, thus was a very noticeable trend.

You had entire teams/groups (and to some extent geographical regions given the way the capital one workforce was split between Richmond Virginia, McLean Virginia, and NYC) where particular castes grouped together.

It became particularly acute when you took into account who was on visa/sponsored and who was not.
And yet there he was, fighting against technological advancements by feigning enthusiasm, because he didn’t like those things. Audacity can be very volatile.

I can't say for sure how they compare but the DX was what I was originally looking for. Unfortunately I've never actually seen a Kindle DX in the wild and they're rare as rocking horse poo on ebay here in the UK.

The Kobo Elipsa is the first ebook reader I've used where I can read PDFs without zooming, which is a game changer for me.

In general I think DX or Elipsa sized screens are more useful for text books even in epub format.

It's much faster than my old Kindle but I was never really that bother about the old Kindle's page turn speed. The Elipsa also has much crisper text but again I thought my anchient Kindle was mostly good enough.

The Kobo search features are much better. My old Kindle's search was too greedy which made it pretty much useless as I couldn't narrow results. e.g. I couldn't search for "act" without getting results for "actor" as well.

The only irk I've had with Kobo is that the default PDF reader doesn't let you set a zoom level to reduce margins as you read. You can zoom in but you need to zoom out again to turn the page.

That's only a very minor issues though, I can still read things fine with the default margins. Installing KOreader or Plato was as simple as dragging a file onto a USB drive and give you every ereader feature you could want including margin stripping PDFs.

I considered a Remarkable 2 but I'm not really one for hand written notes and I wanted a frontlight, which the Elipsa has but the RM2 doesn't.

I actually wish I could have bought the Elipsa without the bundled case or pen as I don't use either. The handwriting to text or drawing to flowchart conversion is fun to play with but it's not something I need, I'm strictly using it as a reading device.

I'd guess that the Elipsa would be a good replacement for a Kindle DX but that's caviated by how you personally want to use it. There's something very pleasing about keeping an old ebook reader going though so it might be fun just to keep using your DXs until they absolutely die and then see what's on the market at the time.

Hope that helps.

I'm with you in not always assuming the worst.

Not at all.

I'm also with you in that communication is hard and people high in industriousness and analytical can easily have a hard time with communication. Specialist have to pay attention to not forget how is it to communicate with "normal people" and speak more languages than nerdese.

Said that, I really don't think that evil has to be underestimated one bit. Ill intentions do exist.

Also, political agendas and ideological possession are brutally strong motivators for "secretly declaring war on your idea". Cancel culture is an obvious expression of that once you remove the secretive part of it and becomes overt instead of covert.

Docker existing shouldn't be an excuse for npm behaving like this ;)

But I agree, for deployment it is good. But you can still run npm projects without it
Pessimistically, if the next 20 years are anything like the last 20, I would expect most bandwidth growth to come from sloppy development and advertising, plus increased multi-device use, such that even if no single use needs that bandwidth lots of smaller amounts will add up quickly. Several hundred MB to load a normal webpage, before it starts streaming 5Mbps video ad, dozens of IoT devices phoning home orders of magnitude more often than the need to, on top of desired use of 50Mbps 4K TV streaming, and multiple 5Mbps TikTok/YouTube-like streams could easily make 100Mbps seem slow.
it is cool to see someone mention SAMM. I have been obsessed with this framework since it’s inception and am hoping more and more companies adopt it over time (and let it grow with their company). Often times these frameworks are only feasible to use once you have a pretty large security team at your company that can spend their entire job to parse schemas like the one posted. I wrote a post recently talking about how to make SAMM more obtainable to smaller companies starting out thinking about security https://www.lunasec.io/docs/blog/security-guide-for-startups...

I wouldn't be surprised if that's true: is there any reason to expect Australia to have higher than average lead levels? My understanding is that it's mostly from paint and gasoline, in which case it should be similar to the US and other countries.
They absolutely do (source, I know there's a sim card in there, they never take it out, it phones home, etc). You get the onstar reports, and can activate it any time using the active sim card.

You can I think get into the box if you have tools, and pull out the sim though. I really want to hack that thing, so I can control the display! I'd love to be able to put linux on my car. And I deserve to. It's mine! I bought it! As long as it's still safe, why does it matter?
There are people out there who want to avoid the war by all costs and so they will give in to any and every demand of the aggressor to avoid it.

Russian propaganda proposes partitioning of Ukraine. Sometimes they present Ukraine as small buffer after its western part is annexed by Poland as their pre-WW II territories and eastern part as being ethnically russian anyway. Regrettably radical polish right is dumb enough to pick this up and call for cooperation with Russia

But people forget that Russia is a mafia state and this war is little about Ukraine for them and all about demonstratibg their status as local superpower to internal population, to regain popular support for the govt.

CAFE is a huge driver of truck sizes and this has been known for many years. There is consumer demand in there as well, and once one of the big three go bigger the rest have to follow, but if the CAFE rules didn't take size into account it would be far, far harder for auto makers to increase the size since there is a fuel consumption penalty for more mass and frontal area.
Not to mention that to overeat to the point of feeling sluggish is possibly a waste of energy and time.

This is yet another reason to stop buying from GM … and the regulator should step in.
I suspect that a driving force of "large truck" is vehicles getting expensive enough that people don't buy two - whereas in the past you might have a commuter car and a family van and a weekend hauler, now you have to get one vehicle that fits all those roles.

And nobody wants to drive a minivan so they opt for a truck (need the bed) but they also want to be able to haul four people, so they go for a crew cab.
May be it should be the other way around.

If they have problems to work with lower caste people, they should change their company.

Apple shareholders aren’t demanding growth - they’re doing fine and given Apple’s history it’d make more sense to expand their consumer footprint, especially internationally, since that’s an area where Apple has considerable strength.

Cloud computing is also a hard field to move into: you need a significant amount of capital up front but customers will be slow to migrate. Google is struggling, I’m not sure what pitch Apple would come up with which is obviously better.
I don't know why Google (or really all the tech companies in SV) aren't taking this far more seriously. I feel like it opens them up to lawsuits and with the weight they hold, a company like Google can easily institute a zero tolerance policy against it. Send a message that if you do this, you're getting kicked to the curb.

In north Norway the electricity costs:
0.75 c/kWh
In south Norway the electricity costs:
307.00 c/kWh
In Latvia it costs:
1,240.00 c/kWh

It is like that every day everywhere in Europe. In Finland the transfer line to Estonia means a lot to our local prices. If we cannot get that line fully utilised (in normal non-windy day, and I bet producers want it to stay around 99%), it means that prices are fixed to Estonia (which you can see in that picture). If we get the line fully loaded, Finland divides to its own market and prices drop considerably.

In Norway and Sweden you can see multiple prices inside a country. It is because their internal lines are not sturdy enough to transfer enough electricity to south (in nordics it is common that electricity is made at north (e.g. a lot of rivers), but needed at south). The random energy (wind) has made this quite crazy. On windy days, the electricity price can even be negative. But wind energy is not reliable at all. But nobody builds or wants to run anything else as wind is easily the cheapest on windy days, and it is not that easy to always start and stop other facilities, which operate with losses on windy days. In general Germany jumped to a dwell, and everyone followed, and now we are where we are.
Have you heard of Rivian?
The frustrating part was that this was framed as "any time I'm wrong, it's simply a miscommunication." The author barely acknowledges that they can be wrong in the first paragraph, and it's phrased in a way that makes it seem like a legal disclaimer. It's not phrased in a way that implies the author ever believes that they're wrong. Because of this, the entire article is colored by the attitude that any time an autistic person is wrong, it's miscommunication.

I don't need it repeated over and over. That's overkill, not concise, and adds nothing of value to the conversation. Based on the comments I've seen in this thread, it seems clear that this point never made it across, or barely made it across.

This is unfortunate because the actual content of the piece is great. It highlights the ways that people with autism and people without autism can miscommunicate.

Coming up with a new steering wheel for the US seems significantly cheaper than redesigning a new vehicle.
This is a tangent and I know there’s already a front page story on it but still couldn’t resist.

By God the cars in the US are huge. About a decade or so back mostly pick ups were kinda big but now looks like the default size is pick up and it only gets bigger from there. Even Tesla model 3 for that matter is huge by Indian standards.
Teams does for example.
