Tesla is very vertically integrated. This is just how they operate. You can make the argument that they shouldnt be so vertically integrated but it has worked for them thus far.
If you’re living in an outer burb, maybe. In wealthier neighbourhoods and closer to city centres Teslas and to a lesser extent other EVs are everywhere.
If you don't mind a super-aerodynamic lightweight three-wheeler, Aptera has a strong commitment to right-to-repair. They're making parts and manuals available to anyone.

They also get significantly more miles/kWh than most electrics, so the charging problem's easier.
There's little public charging infrastructure here in the upper Midwest as of yet, which is a significant barrier for many.

What worries me if what happens when manufacturers abandon battery platforms. There have been a few stories lately of older cars- the Chevy volt comes to mind- where the batteries aren't made anymore, and replacing one is in the $20-30k, several times over what the car actually sells for.

Instead, it'd be nice if the battery packs were built in a modularized way, so that if one section dies, it can be replaced rather than the entire pack.

Otherwise, buying a used EV is a massive gamble for lower class folk who typically only buy used cars.

Zigbee also runs on 2.4GHz, but I wouldn't even count WiFi out just yet since those devices are on 2.4GHz where latency and throughput are almost irrelevant (to me) for that application. Plus it's usually cheaper.
I definitely prefer to have an ice vehicle for range and privacy reasons. But I have this irrational hatred of oil changes. For me that seems like the biggest bonus of an EV.

Edit: I guess I don’t like the idea that ordinary procrastination can, in this case destroy a 50k investment.

But this is the fault of the party you'd like to connect to; they are the ones refusing your direct SMTP connection because your IP address smells funny so that you have to resort to forwarding.

Maybe it's possible to work things out with particular such destinations. If there are certain parties to whom you'd like to send mail more securely, maybe they can give you an account on their SMTP server.

Owning my own house, I will say that I'd happily never buy another ICE car. Charging at home is so much better than waiting in line at the gas station every week. The performance is excellent. In basically all ways that don't involve absurdly long road trips, the EV is the better choice.

But price. That's the killer right now. They're popular, batteries are expensive. I may actually go back to a PHEV for my next car even after I swore I'd never own a non-EV again because I'm hooked. Because the price difference is 20 grand, and the EV will never save me 20 grand over its life compared to a good PHEV. I'm a bit miffed about the whole thing, to be honest. Prices are insane for everything. I need a raise, clearly.

Use this as a key value store in memory if you are working in C for speed. I've used this to handle multiple 200+ million entry tables in memory, that were not able to be handled as effectively using SQL.

Consider using this if you need to intersect very large data sets that otherwise would take a prohibitive amount of time to even insert into an SQL database (with or without an index) or otherwise even handle in a script language.
In my experience across three companies, COBRA just costs 102% of the total cost that was already being paid previously.

This just means that your employer was paying a lot on your behalf previously.
> Also an EV has more battery capacity than my house so it'd be pretty hard to charge a car in the winter when I can barely keep my house batteries running my house.

Not sure if you're just talking about something specific to your house, or making a broader point.

Once EVs are widespread, they can add a huge amount of storage capacity to the grid. Not hard to imagine utility and government incentives that encourage car owners to make some of their battery power available at peak load times.
>It's ok to arrest someone in the act of attacking another person.

Yes, if we're talking about actual physical assault and not mere criticism. Are you actually arguing that Lorenz prevented imminent acts of physical violence through her doxxing? Because this doesn't pass the laugh test unless you're relying on the usual vague "stocastic terrorism" arguments that are used to justify censoring pretty much any culturally conservative speech.

I think it's extremely suspicious, but often times breaches like this aren't through the core platform itself. For example, Equifax was a support site that was hosted and built separately from their main platform.

This whole thing does smell like BS to me, though as well.

Fair, I thought I was replying to the idea that old age must be miserable, but on re-reading I see that the poster I was replying to may have meant something else.

Still, smokers not wanting the last 20 do themselves a disservice by disabling themselves and their hopes of redemption. They often do not die sudden deaths that bring them respite, instead many spend years struggling for breath hooked to oxygen tanks. I think these initially rebellious smokers see themselves as going out in a blaze of glory, but COPD is anything but.
Overdimensioned: that can be a cause for low COP, and not always a surefire solution. But yes, properly dimensioning to your particular situation is more important than with other heating methods, agree. The best point I think is to target not the coldest winter you'd ever expect, because that means suboptimal runtime the rest of the year. Better is to target optimal runtime for most of the year, and accept horrible performance for a few days every 5 years or so.

Modern heatpumps work perfectly fine down to -20C or so, which covers nearly all of Europe.

If your winters are around 0C, it really pays to get units with better defrost management. You can use power output ratings; cheaper brands might have a third less output at 0deg, while others barely dip. In colder countries the cheaper units are funnily enough a great option, because once it's cold enough to continuously flow, you don't have to defrost at that often anymore.
Plausible, but I always come back to TCO. The real reason EVs are suddenly gaining traction is that prices for gasoline spiked and a lot of people are finally realizing that EVs typically cost much less to fuel. Think about how people suddenly start trading in pickups for compact cars when gas prices have spiked in the past -- and maybe that to save 25-50% on fuel cost. A bunch of people are realizing that going to EV is saving more like 75% or more, and that's without downsizing.

So of course EVs were going to become very popular. Just had to get people past the range anxiety and charging unfamiliarity. Now they see that all their neighbors are doing just fine with their new Teslas/etc, and they talk to them about their experience, anxiety goes down, and they sign their name on the waiting list.
To me it’s a clear case of bad policy. Good goals don’t magically make for good policy.

What does bad policy look like in your opinion, if not this? It’s an avoidable fuck-up.
> First and foremost, for reasons that are unclear to me, ObfDereferenceObject is exposed to driver developers through a macro3 called ObDereferenceObject. I don’t understand what the point of this even is, but in any case, we can find the documentation for the macro here.

Emphasis mine. The reason why this is done in big projects is adding just one more level of abstraction to be able to preserve how userland interacts with your library, but still allowing you to make underlying structural changes to the code.

We're headed for that everywhere, I think. I'm currently deciding between a MachE and a RAV4 Prime. The price premium for the Ford is so acute that there is no way it'll ever be cheaper TCO than the Toyota. PHEVs are looking very attractive right now.

So... no? They are clearly leveraging the NVidia ecosystem right now. Now maybe they have ambitions to get off of NVidia, but they're doing so in a rather asinine fashion. There's probably half-a-dozen groups trying to make a faster systolic matrix multiplication unit for the deep learning crowd. Tesla probably should have either worked with those groups and/or bought one out, for example.

I work in AI/ML content generation, specializing in video.

Hosting videos at scale is an easy problem these days. Pornhub solves the niche and hard problems of handling user uploads, transcoding from a variety of upload types, content recognition, validating legality, and search over poorly defined user metadata.

A new entrant could centrally generate a human millennia of videos and richly tag them by every searchable dimension.

Pornhub won't exist in ten years because the entire need for that type of software will be reduced to near zero.
I don't see how that contradicts GP's point ("Your pay is based on the cost to hire your replacement.")

Given the much lower fuel/power cost and reduced maintenance costs, they don't necessarily need to reach price parity.
I would argue that whether you're driving a gas-powered BMW or an electric BMW, all car companies are motivated to add internet-driven features and metrics to future cars. Your car could be solar-powered and this would still be the case. The only way dis-incentives could confidently outweigh incentives would be if governments use laws & enforcement to destroy the value of tracking users.
If a 4% increase seems like bad policy to you in a high inflation (~9%) macro environment, your expectations are likely unrealistic.

> But should location based pay be just accepted because that's the norm?

If we don't accept location based pay and start paying a uniform global salary, the wages will sync to Asian job market level rather than rising to SV level. Any company doing so will not be able to hire anyone in SV.

OTOH any company paying SV level wages to everyone will do so only for a short while before they realize that they can increase the profit by reducing pay elsewhere. Why would they not do that?
I love the idea of an EV, but ultimately it’s just extending a pretty unsustainable car culture involving the allocation of half of urban space to individuals moving around 1~2 tons of metal in order to do trips that would be much shorter with better designed cities, while letting walking, cycling and transit languish.

Yes - these are necessary in houses designed to minimise air leakage, because without them they can end up so well sealed that they do not allow enough air changes per hour.
I haven't found this to be a problem in practice. I have two USB-C laptops -- a ThinkPad T480s and a MacBook -- and both of them work fine with my USB-C dock, and with each others' chargers. That's all I need.
If they had built nuclear power plants even just to cover domestic use would that not have alleviated some of the pressure they’re now facing on the gas front though? Covering industrial and domestic is clearly harder than just having to cover industrial. Yes France doesn’t have as much heavy industry as Germany but they’re weathering the storm much better and I don’t think we can ignore the fact that a lot of that is to do with the fact they’re pretty much the only Western European country that’s taken nuclear power seriously. I do applaud Germany for the strides they’ve made with green energy but making nuclear illegal before they’d transitioned further along the green energy road is looking like a very bad move with hindsight.

Regardless, Russia have been in the Donbass and Crimea since 2014. That European countries and Germany in particular, have decided to increase their reliance on Russian gas since then rather than set up some serious back up plans is really rather complacent.
I had the misfortune of renting a Tesla right before a severe cold snap in Virginia. I was charging at 4 miles an hour at the public charging station. I’m not sure I would buy an EV in an area where it stays below freezing for weeks at a time.

> NVidia chips can do this job.

Presumably Tesla, at the time they decided to pursue this option, thought they'd potentially have a competitive advantage with in-house designs.

It's entirely possible that's just their hubris showing, time will tell if this was the right decision or not. After seeing the NVidia presentation announcing their latest datacenter-scale AI hardware, I'd be surprised if Tesla's in-house design is more than just a massive cost center vs. buying something from NVidia.

But sometimes you do things that appear irrational in part to keep your talented engineers from seeking work elsewhere. Just look at NASA's SLS, how much of that is a job program in part to prevent hoards of talented folks building rockets for competing nations?
Yeah. I'm frustrated seeing all the support for KF and their behavior.
Yep, the whole “both the source and the sink are capable of 90W PD but for some reason agreed to only do 45w on a cable that also supports 100w PD” is fun too.

I just wish I could buy a compact GaN charger that could charge a 16” M1 MBP at full speed that also had other ports USB-A and C ports to charge other stuff. Traveling with more than one charger in 2022 should be unnecessary, but the HYPERJUICE Stackable GaN 100w I have doesn’t charge the MBP anywhere close to 100W, the Satechi charges faster but has no USB-A ports, this Korean brand one with two A and two C I believe maxes at 65W per port, and the EGO EXINNO 240W is pretty picky about cables.

The least-bad solution I’ve found is the factory MBP charger, then use the MBP ports themselves as the charger, with A adapters where required :/

We were promised a future with less chargers waste, but I have more incompatible chargers than ever in my box of chargers and cables now.
> Your pay should be based on ...

Can't believe Stable Diffusion is out for public use and that's considered “OK”
I just completed a ~1600km drive back from visiting family. Half way through the outbound trip, in the middle of the mountains, I had to make a 300km detour due to a massive accident (two semi trucks head-on closed a mountain highway for more than a day). The detour was through a valley with no cellphone coverage for 150+km. At a rest stop I met a tesla driver in a panic. Without internet he was unable to figure out whether he should continue, turn around, or wait out the accident. That was the one and only electric vehicle I saw that day. There are some parts of this planet where it it very hard to envision mass EV adoption.

(Here is a link if anyone wants to confirm my story, but be warned. You cannot unread this. It was a horrible accident.) https://www.aldergrovestar.com/news/fatal-semi-truck-collisi...
I wasn't going to these lengths in my comment, but yes I actually think porn is pretty important to our society in many many ways.

It depends on your country, but most western societies have piss poor sex education. I think it got a lot better, but we still mostly expect parents to have "the talk" (like it was just a single conversation...). There is unlimited amounts of media touching on relationship dynamics, but comparatively way few fewer touching on sex itself, as we commercially punish that depiction.

What we have left to cover that is porn.

So yes, I think what porn touches on, what's depicted, and having a broad landscape matching as many orientation as we can accept actually matters. Porn restrictions are bound to a society's moral compass, I don't know if improving porn can bias toward a better direction as well, but at least we could try.

Find a clueful small provider, local to you if possible. On huge providers like Hetzner and DO, you are guaranteed to have spammers as neighbours some of the time, even if the provider rapidly shuts them down. On the other hand, a good-quality small provider may rarely if ever host spammers.
