Brake pads don't seem like they should be different on an EV. It's really just the engine components that should have less wear and tear and those only come into play at the 30k and 60k mark

>Second, research results in population group differences are social poison. They are memetic viruses that fuel violent extremism. The murderer of 10 people in Buffalo directly cited human behavior research in his manifesto. Extremist racist groups regularly discuss this research. This is a fact.

I am unable to write something to argue against this point because it would lead to this account being banned. I am unable to publish a paper on Nature that argues against the common beleif of racial equality. I am unable to use most modern communication media to do any of these things.

But I don't think that the current society is open and free. It is open-er and freer than what it replaced. It is also open-er and freer than some proposed alternatives. It is not the best, most open, and most free society that could ever be conceived.

> I will never accept a job candidate who will "learn what they need to learn".

That's funny, because I would say the opposite, if they do NOT, "learn what they need to learn", I would find it problematic.

I'm not a Java programmer, but it happens regularly that when java programmer truly get stuck, I go through their code and find the bugs, learning what I need to learn on the fly. Let's say they're having problem with network connectivity, I can learn how that should be done, reason about fault tolerance and teach myself how to look at the traffic in wireshark.

I'm not a infrastructure operations person, but if there are strange behavior in the trace, I can sit down with those who are, understand the network topology, and understand where and why the tcp connection may have issues, teaching myself what I need as I go.

Then I bring the network person and app developer together, go through the findings, explain to the developer what this looks at from the network side and explain to the network infra person what that means for the programmer. If there are some kinds of network instability that is irreducible, I can show the developer design patters that ensure that the code he's writing is resilient to that kind of problem.

I'm also not a Data Scientist, but when the Data Scientists are having problems, I can sit down and look at their problem, learn about the methods they're using, find patterns they did not see, prerequisites that were not met, or find errors in their math.

The key is to have both deep and broad knowledge of the basics of the technical
and mathematical fields. THOSE I do mostly know pretty well, from half a lifetime of being curious and taking the time to really understand things, instead of just memorize them. If you know the foundations well enough, learning a given application can be learned very quickly.
Its very much a US thing. Sure other countrys have flags and they like them but Americans really take it to a whole other level. In the uk every school I wen't to had a flag pole but would only fly a flag on special occasions such as sporting events and we would fly sports flags. In America they seem to worship their flag when I see they are scared to let it touch the ground.

From the outside it looks like Americans value the flag more than they value other Americans, in the uk we value brits more than we value the British flag as the flag is just a representation of the people.
In an EV you don't actually use the brakes if you don't brake hard, engine does energy recovery instead.
> While this is true, they have always been in favour of shutting down nuclear power plants and now they would have the opportunity to reverse this course, but they don't.

Because nuclear does not make sense. The financial risk of accidents at a Fukushima or Chernobyl scale is too high (as no insurer will take on that risk, the taxpayers will have to pay for it, and as the Ukraine invasion and the fighting around Chernobyl shows, disaster plants are a danger for decades!), a lot of the uranium comes from questionable sources (Russia and Khazakhstan [1]), and Europe does not have permanent storage solutions for the nuclear waste [2].

Renewable energies already make up 41% of our electricity generation, it could be 100%.

> What's so catastrophic about France? Despite all the troubles they currently have, their CO2 emissions per kW are still a fraction of Germany's.

For the sake of not spamming around the same text, I consolidated the list of issues here in a sibling comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32605337

As for the CO2 emissions: yeah because the CO2 everyone else in Europe generates to compensate their nuclear issues is not counted in their CO2 budget but ours.

National security is a subset of "the common good" argument, but one more focused on averting harm, than improving the state of society.

The rebuttal is not aimed at „everyone can learn“, but at „you can look up things that you required to memorize two decades ago.“ I can look up any important constant to hundreds of decimal points, find explanations for almost all publicly known algorithms, way more information than I could ever memorize. Tests often still pretend that knowing this is important. But what‘s more important is knowing what to look for and how to transform the general knowledge you can read into a solution. That’s a skill and it needs training and it‘s the skill that‘s important and should be tested for.

But those tests are harder to design, harder to grade and you cannot reuse them - since someone will just post the solution on the internet. And you need to prevent students from just sharing the solution during the exam.
Additional info for macOS:

Not only apps, but many other types as well. And the organization technique is nothing magical, they’re just directories with an extension in the name, and usually some standardized structure. They’re officially referred to as “bundles.”

Apps are bundles, various plugins are bundles (audio units, pref panes for System Preferences), and if Finder didn’t treat them specially, you’d never think they were. In a shell, they’re just like any other directory.
ELO is dependent upon the pool of players that one plays in. Engine ELO's have no relationship to human ratings because no humans play computers under normal conditions. For an example of this phenomena taken to extremes, Claude Bloodgood [1] was a strong amateur who ended up as officially rated as one of the top players in the world (and #2 in the US) simply because he was only playing against a pool of other prison inmates who were in turn playing only against each other. So all his rating reflected was his relative strength in the prison pool.

Computers are definitely much stronger than humans, but not 3600 better. Magnus would certainly be able to eek out plenty of draws, if not only because white can create "simplified" (as a euphemism for dead) positions in just about any variation if he really wants. And Magnus regularly plays these sort of positions literally at the level of supercomputers.

I'd also add that much of the dominance of computers is not based just on raw ability alone, but more psychological issues. Humans can become tilted, intimidated, frustrated, tired, and so on. One of the last major human vs computer events was Kramnik vs Fritz. Kramnik, in a relatively simple position, ended up blundering mate in 1 with plenty of time on his clock. It's unlikely he would have ever made the same mistake against a human. It's just very difficult to get in the same mindset when playing against a human as when playing against a computer. Chess, in spite of being a game of complete information, is still extremely influenced by psychology.

Uh, you picked a really bad example. There are plenty of instances in the not-too-distant-past of gay people being assaulted in the USA.

And "everyday more similar" is a progression, not an equivalence. A vector, not a single number.

I would not put it past the Southern states to enact laws making it difficult or dangerous to be "out" as gay.
EV with KERS use brake pads much much less, my mechanic can confirm, he always complains how much less work he has to do on an electric car.
I imagine the wear on the pads is reduced by the regenerative braking from the motors.
Brakes get a lot less wear because you’re mainly relying on regenerative braking using the electric motors in reverse. If your driving style is gentle enough, it can bring the car to a complete stop in a reasonable distance. The mechanical brakes are then only engaged when the car is fully stopped already.
I think both can be true and it might be more region specific. My girlfriend was born in the Ruhrgebiet and a lot of her family and friends family worked in the coal industry and were well taken care of when the plants were shut down. While they're not pro-coal or wouldn't poll that way I think there probably is more of a sentimental connection to it than to nuclear which that generation tends to associate with Chernobyl.
Dear author, if you're the one sharing the article: you misspelled "retpoline" in your very first usage of the word.

There are still laws making it illegal to have gay sex on the books in parts of the US, they just aren't usually being enforced. They could start enforcing them any time they want. They're not constitutional, but that hasn't stopped states from doing lots of other unconstitutional things while people sued to block them. Once those suits go to the supreme court, the modern set of judges might validate those laws.

In some cases these laws also criminalize some forms of heterosexual intercourse, as a fun little example of how discriminatory laws targeting the minority can often be repurposed to punish members of the majority who step out of line.

> We need to generate 100% of our energy needs every single hour. Renewables are practically incapable of doing this on their own. They can reduce the use of fossil fuelds (or nuclear power), but not replace them.

Install enough windmills across the entire coastal areas of Europe, add thousands of kilometers long cross-continental UHVDC links like China does [1] and even winter won't be a problem.

Besides: using biomass / biogas fuel for conventional burner plants is climate neutral, and the supply is enough to cover half of the deliveries of Russia [2].

Electric vehicles don't use the brakes that much as they can slow the car down by switching the elctric motors from using electricity to accelerate to using the wheels to generate electricity thereby slowing the car down.

Case in point that whole situation "recently" where a woman got a Tesla with no brake pads installed on it.
That’s a good point, but domains can be broadly applicable. For example, I worked with two programmers who knew data structures and I/o to a great level. After they left my employer tried to replace them with teams and teams and couldn’t.

There are lots of companies that need data structures and I/o.
I think tilling WM workflows are more practical than the UI design the article is describing:

>Everything is a Command Line

Tilling WMs naturally favors TUI apps and opening up a quick terminal in which you input text to do your task.

>To launch applications or execute commands, you first type them somewhere and then middle-click them

keybinding meta+d: dmenu-run

>Everything is Zoomable

Tilling WMs with workspaces (or tags) are more efficient than context switching by trying to find the desired window via zooming in and out.
I see a good variety of EVs parked on the street here in Cambridge, MA, USA. There’s a decent local network of level 2 and 3 chargers that are regularly used to charge the cars, in the neighborhood and at various area workplaces. Some are owned by the city and only charge enough to break even on installation and electricity cost. Workplace ones are often subsidized by the employers as a side benefit.

Clearly it doesn’t work in all locations; yours being a prime example, but there are parts of the world where it’s feasible to own an EV without home charging.

I did the 15km ride in my city to reach the factory.
I can tell you that it is very stressful to ride a bike on a busy road with no bike lane, filled with trucks driving at 70kmh (because this road is the one that trucks must take as they are not allowed to cross through the city). Then imagine doing it at 7 in the morning in winter, when it is still night and some ice patch.
Even if you make it alive, then comes the issue of shower availability. That's what is blocking me from riding the 35km from my current job: I have no access to a shower at work.

My city has the most extensive bike lane network in France, except for the place where workers are working. If you work in the city center, you are fine and it is pleasant, but then you are part of the lucky workers enjoying the benefits of living in a city.

Oil, filters and work on them is pricy at the official dealers (if you care about warranty). Also more failure points - turbines, injectors, gas pump, exhaust, gearbox, oiling system in general. Just a single gearbox or turbine failure can cost thousands. EVs are really cheaper in general, however you compare.
At some point, when a student find a truly novel way to gain an advantage, that can be seen as a kind of creativity, and may point to a strong career (hopefully within the law).

>>Your statistics show an actual fall in the past 10 years.

From 22.79% of GDP in 2010, to 21.49% in 2016 (the last year provided). This is after an increase from 10.44% to 1964 to 22.79% in 2010. The big picture is a massive multi-generational increase in social welfare spending, interspersed with tiny downward fluctuations over a small proportion of the years covered.

>>It's worse than that because the true picture needs to factor in local government spending now.

This is aggregate public spending, so it should already be factoring in local government spending.

>>If we pretend there's been steady investment, and imagine stable demand, the same thing can cost more than it did before.

Per capita GDP has increased in inflation-adjusted terms, so when social welfare spending as a percentage of GDP increases, that means a real (inflation-adjusted) increase in per capita social welfare spending.

The only possible way this leads to less support for citizens in need is growing mismanagement of the funds by the social welfare programmes.

Because it’s a religious motto. It’s not just the national motto.

And pushing religion on someone in school is against americas stated ideals.

> Tiling WMs naturally favors TUI apps

More like: "Tiling window managers only work well with resizable TUI apps" - there's still far too many text-mode programs that assume fixed-size console buffer dimensions (think: software still using ancient versions of ncurses) - also assuming that your chosen terminal emulator is capable of dynamically resizing (and re-flowing) normal stdout text.

One thing that is keeping me from getting EV is infrastructure cost.

Sure, maintenance is going to be cheaper and cost per km/mile lower, but there is simply not enough infrastructure where I live to charge the car. Friend of mine got EV. He lives in modern apartment where there are 2 charging stations for like 200 cars/garage. He was ecstatic year ago where he would charge whenever he want and it was free (due to subsidies) but now has to queue in own garage in order to charge it at all.

Based on anecdotes from colleagues it takes them ~10-20h every month to charge their cars. It also creates a mental load of "oh, where and when I'll charge my car next". To a ludicrous degree that some even can't plan life activities because they plan for their car to charge. If I put even like half of my hourly rate on the time spent maintaining car's charge calculations aren't attractive as they might seem.

On top of it sales of EVs grow much faster than infrastructure. With energy crisis looming I have my doubts.

That being said, had I had a house, I wouldn't care and take one.
Here it's actually cheaper to charge my EV on the public-chargers then doing it at home, europe has highly inflated electricity prices, but in my city all the chargers have fixed (low) prices, while my home electricity has risen from 21ct to 40+ct/kwh now.

It will probably get even better as soon as I can get solar on my house, but getting enough juice from public-chargers is sufficient.

Last weekend I even got a full (60+kwh) charge for free, as I was visiting Froscon, and the chargers in Sankt Augustin were all completely free, and there was a charger on the parking next to the venue.
I opened up the google sheet early, and seeing as it's open to public editing, the numbers have already been edited by people, because of course it will. Just FYI.

Interesting to see most of Western Europe go where we, Romania, were back in the 1980s under Ceausescu.

Just today I was thinking about how one of my fondest memories as a kid (because it involves me, my parents and our home from back then) is of my dad teaching 5 or 6-year old me how many stairs there were in our block of apartments between two consecutive flors, so that I could use them even after the sun was down, cause said staircase wasn't lit. And then how proud I felt when I was managing to go up and down on those stairs (we were living on the last floor, the 4th) at night, only by "feeling" and counting the stairs in my head (at some point the counting became an "instinct", I was not even actively doing the counting anymore). This was all happening in the second part of the '80s.

With all that said, I'm honestly not that sure that today's Western Europeans are mentally prepared to go through what we, Romanians, went through back then.
This is definitely a discussion I will leave to those researching teaching.

That said, for many years I shared the view. Some time ago a convincing argument for "memorization" was presented, and I am slowly changing to the view that it is a reasonable way to learn and to become more creative.
