I think Chinese (and other) pure EV brands will probably replace the existing car manufacturers.

However, charging what the market will bear in a tight market is not the thing that will doom them. Artificially limiting their production of EVs, through internal strife or plain bad planning will hurt them though.
Still unfortunate that HN doesn’t offer this as a builtin feature. So many people have already requested this during the last couple of years.
No, the problem is many people cannot think within the new reality. Even in the US there are power lines almost everywhere (https://hifld-geoplatform.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/geopl...), so nothing prevents from installing chargers every 10-20 miles. It's not like a gas station!

Even then, I think most Americans overestimate their range needs. A stop every two hours is recommended for every driver to keep attention at safe levels, and even then there are bio breaks and the occasional coffee or drink or lunch.
Isn’t that how we got region-locked DVDs?
Shouldn't be a problem for a dedicated criminal, but not as easy as submitting SSN and date of birth into a web form, so can't be done cheaply in bulk.
Yeah, its called an ebike. When you are using a vehicle as large as an electric car to run your errands, probably 95% of the energy is spent just to move the vehicle around, not you or your groceries but just the vehicle to A and B. With a 50 lb ebike and a few panniers running those groceries versus a 5000lb ev, you are doing the same work but a lot more of the energy spent is going to the actual work, moving you and your groceries, rather than the vehicle.

Now if you consider the length of it, things aren't any better. The next time you are in gridlocked traffic, look at the cars around you. Imagine the cars just disappeared and everyone was standing in the road. It's obviously pretty inefficient to wait in line with 20-30 foot gaps between the person in front of you and 10-15 foot gaps with the person beside you, but thats what rush hour is in cars.
It definitely performs well comparatively. Based on how it performs on the various tests its the best for PC building work and its more than strong enough for the usual uses.
Grid capacity is what blocks EV market share and will continue to be the blocker for the foreseeable future.

A 2 person apartment where I live will consume ~400kWh of power in a typical month. Charging a 100kWh battery twice a month per person would double the power usage. We don't have the power generation, nor power delivery for that, nor will we have it for some time.

I did not. I have a young child, and refused to follow the herd and just sit everyone in front of a tablet or Netflix. It made my life incredibly hard and lonely - have you tried occupying a 1-year-old for a year, when you are under effective house arrest?

However, I am not talking about my personal choices, or who needs to take responsibility for actions. I am just pointing out that certain people have benefited enormously from lockdowns.
Trying to contact support? Their response? Ultimately figuring out the real reason? When faced with an issue I usually try to figure it out first. After all, accounts can get flagged wrongly on outlook, gmail and other services as well. And the linked reddit thread does not relate to your case. To me, the very theory of account locked just because someone sends a spam email to said account is, honestly, ridiculous.

> They are by a long way the worst experience I ever had with a provider of any online service, so much so that I’ve since moved my own e-mail that was there back to outlook before some arbitrary spam caused the same thing to happen to me.

Well, I misunderstood you here. Wrongly assumed you meant it happened to you again.
This post reminds me of this excerpt from the book How to Measure Anything by Douglas Hubbard:

> What many organizations do to assess risk is not very enlightening. The methods I propose for assessing risk would be familiar to an actuary, statistician, or financial analyst. But some of the most popular methods for measuring risk look nothing like what an actuary might be familiar with. Many organizations simply say a risk is “high,” “medium,” or “low.” Or perhaps they rate it on a scale of 1 to 5. When I find situations like this, I sometimes ask how much “medium” risk really is. Is a 5% chance of losing more than $5 million a low, medium, or high risk? Nobody knows. Is a medium-risk investment with a 15% return on investment better or worse than a high-risk investment with a 50% return? Again, nobody knows because the statements themselves are ambiguous.

[…]

It is true that many of the users of these methods will report that they feel much more confident in their decisions as a result. But, as we will see in Chapter 12, this feeling should not be confused with evidence of effectiveness. We will learn that studies have shown that it is quite possible to experience an increase in confidence about decisions and forecasts without actually improving things—or even by making them worse.

For now, just know that there is apparently a strong placebo effect in many decision analysis and risk analysis methods. Managers need to start to be able to tell the difference between feeling better about decisions and actually having better track records over time. There must be measured evidence that decisions and forecasts actually improved. Unfortunately, risk analysis or risk management—or decision analysis in general—rarely has a performance metric of its own. 3The good news is that some methods have been measured, and they show a real improvement.
Private sector systems:

1. Find it easier to promote based on skill rather than tenure.

2. Can give bonuses or fire bad employees.

3. Are incentivized to avoid horrible outcomes like this for PR/financial reasons alone beyond just the ethical issues.

4. Are also incentivized to avoid it due to liability lawsuits.

None of these incentives or systems really apply to the NHS.

In this case the problems seemed to be more like general management and staff dysfunction rather than a need to reward "going beyond". Constant rotation of doctors instead of assigning the patient to a single doctor, some of whom were in training, over confidence, refusal to make backup plans, apparent inability to recognize sepsis even in the most extreme stages and consequent refusal to escalate to ICU, keeping the parents and patients out of the loop, working from home despite being on call, apparent inability to preserve records, promoting a doctor just weeks after he made critical mistakes etc.

In other words - rampant and systemic incompetence.

The problems here were seriously compounded by a dysfunctional aspect of British culture in which the NHS is practically worshipped, and treating it cynically is deemed a severe moral failing (I'm British, I've seen this first hand). The article dwells on this near the start. Several times the mother correctly diagnose the fact that there are serious problems with their child's care and each time is basically told to shut up and Trust The NHS, which she then meekly does. It's easy to imagine American parents at this point starting to threaten lawsuits, switch hospitals, remind doctors that they're the 'customer' or take other concrete actions to express their displeasure but none of this is available to Brits.

If you lose your job you're covered for three quarters of a year which is more than plenty to find a new job if you want one. If you voluntarily quit you're covered for two months. You can easily confirm both of these online, it's unclear why you're trying to claim otherwise.
When we ask if a government should allow a company to use religion as a basis for discrimination, we've reached a level of abstraction that defies any intuitive moral reasoning. Now if one thinks morality exists in an absolute metaphysical sense, then this isn't an issue. The author however is an atheist, and so has no possible moral justification argument that would be convincing to their religious coworkers.

The belief that notions like equality and anti-discrimination would hold any weight in a society of secular thought has now become about as laughable as Communist economics after the fall of the USSR. Now "discrimination" is merely a line used by each tribe in turn to justify why they should be owed special treatment for their victimhood. The weight of each group and individual "getting theirs" will not be bore for long. So I guess the author should enjoy his "ice cream" while he can. After all, it's not like (he thinks) there's any one to judge him for it anyway.
I also own a 5120 X 1440 screen and use it daily with my caldigit ts4 + m1 max 14' mbp. Mostly I use the built in dp 1.4 port on the caldigit to drive my screen with an dp 1.4 cable.

Fair enough. You can google though. There's a wealth of complains of people seeing their accounts locked.

Strictly speaking, Li’s Field is (was?) his dad’s. Not sure whether Richard inherited it, and even if he did, whether he has mastered it to the same level as his dad.

BTW, the Wikipedia article says “repels” tropical cyclones, but that seems not entirely accurate according to the latest “theory”: the field can also attract cyclones if Li Ka-shing deems it advantageous to his wealth - e.g. if the Hang Seng Index is dropping and Li wants to put a quick halt to the drop (as a typhoon signal no. 8 would force the stock exchange to close early). :P
That's not my experience; my self-hosted setup rarely sent more than 10 messages per day, but I could deliver to gmail, hotmail, yahoo. No problem, at least not since about 2009. Before that I did have a fair bit of mail dropped on the floor by the big providers. I spent quite a bit of time stressing about it. I don't think it's anything that I did that fixed it; it just seemed to fix itself.

A quick and dirty method is to read the voltage and current on the DC adapter. That will give you an idea of the upper limit. For example, an old D-Link router I have has a 5V, 1A DC adapter. So the maximum power the device will use is 5W (P =V * I). Really, there is also usually a 30% to 50% safety margin, so it's probably more like 3W in this case.

We charged two Teslas at an apartment for years, no problems. Using a single 110 outlet (shared, one car at a time). In the occasional road trips we also used superchargers. If it can work for two cars surely it can work for one car. You do have to choose an apartment where your outlet is close enough to the parking, obviously.
Not GP, but a programmer working the same hours as the people they need to regularly collaborate with is worth somewhat more than that same exact person working the other side of the clock.
If you think film as an art; it’s being colour or monochrome is become just a medium of choice and not improvement.

IMHO It’s even better now since RAW image information gives freedom to translate it in a monochromatic in a way director likes. Each monochromatic films has it’s rendition and contrast different, and you must use filters while filming if you want some different rendition than that (photographic) film intended.

Aside from that, I don’t know many examples films shot in colour film and reverted to monochromatic (schindler list maybe?). Instead saw more film shot in digital but converted into monochromatic (Eva, great polish film comes into my mind). Color grading has its effects so monochromatic conversion as well imho.
The metric system is such a beauty, that it's shocking that is not used everywhere. The fact that a liter of water has a relation with the size of the paper we use is just poetry.

You can always use “unwrap()” in throwaway code.

https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

If that code ever gets more use than that you expect, you can trivially find all the uses of “unwrap()”, and add the proper error handling. And yes there are quite a few places where things can go wrong.

But this explicit “signing for technical debt” when it relates to error handling is a really convenient productivity feature in practice.

A simple throwaway CLI for your own use is absolutely fine to use unwrap(), and you can fix it later on if it becomes a problem.
What I find so baffling is that these experiences do not match my own at all.

I've been running a non-profit ISP for about 23 years with a few friends. We've always been doing this from our own IP Space (/20) in RIPE.
Even when we had problems sending spam (compromised user accounts, compromised php websites) and we ended up on a blacklist, we usually could get removed pretty fast.

For a few years our mail system would sometimes generate late-bounces, that is accept a mail on the incoming MX only to then figure out that it actually cannot be delivered later on and generate a delivery failure notification mail.
Not a good situation.

That got us into some trouble here and there. But even that could easily be unblocked again.

When we finally managed to set up a new mail infrastructure (2 year project cause it's a hobby) we set up new outgoing SMTP servers which cycle through multiple IP addresses. There was exactly one ISP (Deutsche Telekom T-Online) that was not accepting mail from some of these IPs. One mail and a turnaround time of abour 12hrs later this was fixed.
Gmail or Hotmail/live.com/Outlook never had any problems with deliverability. Even with a few users forwarding all their email to their gmail accounts including the spam that slips through our filters.
That might mean that a single mail would not be deliverd, but other users never suffered as our outgoing IPs are not being blanket-banned.

There's one residential ADSL provider that has a blanket ban on one of our outgoing IPs. There's no way to get that resolved because their mail infrastructure is unmaintained and nobody is reading their mail. Common problem with that one ADSL provider, googling their name shows other people have the same problem. shrug We just use a different outgoing IP for them.

No DMARK or DKIM setup at all for outgoing mail.

So I wonder, what really makes the difference in experience? Is it just the fact that we have a decent sized IPv4 Network in our name as PI space?
You can have as much wild nature and as little advertising as you want. My vision isn't for a corporate-owned virtual prison. In my future the user is fully in control of their computer.

You could have a much richer experience of nature in VR than you could ever have today.

That you privilege "real" nature over the infinitely many possible "virtual" natures is a hangover of pre-metaverse thinking. It will only take a couple of generations for this kind of mindset to fade away.
I don't mind monochrome; I haven't watched much that was filmed and color and converted to monochrome but watching old black and white movies doesn't bother me at all.

But what really does bother me is when modern movies have all the colors shifted to make everything look drab, or blue, or green. The blue-shifting is the worst. I've even seen it done to re-releases of old movies that didn't look like that originally, presumably to make it "feel HD" or something.

It costs more or less the same amount of money to send one email as it does to send hundreds of thousands of emails.

Yes, outside the cities and villages, where the number of pedestrians is low and that of cyclists often not large either. In those situations sharing infrastructure generally isn't an issue.

Inside cities and villages, I don't think I've seen roads with a bike path, but without a pedestrian path. Maybe I've seen one in an industrial park or so.
Weird, I've had the opposite experience with Proton - I was able to recover an account with insufficient recovery info after having forgotten the password (100% my fault) after a quite thororough process. I've also completely lost access to a Google account on which I hadn't provided recovery info and my only "fault" was trying to log in from a new location (even in the same browser) - I moved places in between, so I couln't just go back to the old location.

I'm sorry this happened to you, but I find it weird that you make this out to be a problem specific to Proton. It happens to people on all major services, it sometimes even makes the front of HN. Do we have any evidence that this happens at a significantly higher rate at Proton than at other providers?
