>Strangely enough, startups/Tesla is the last place someone with advanced mechanical engineering knowledge would go. From a quality/feature standpoint, new companies have lower standards. Where an established company would be pushing technology and doing things that no one has done before, new companies are just trying to build a car. It would be a resume hit, because you worked on outdated/low tech.

Seems like the opposite has happened. Tesla, in its desperate attempt to stay alive(3-4 bankruptcy scares thus far) have found a niche where other OEMs didn't have expertise in (EVs) and really gone all out in innovation in areas where other OEMs have dropped the ball. In the car industry if you are a newcomer and you are just trying to "build a car" you are wasting your time/money and you will die. There needs to be a competitive advantage that claws people away from existing OEMs. I'd argue that the reason Tesla is clawing people away from the luxury brands. as well as getting people to move upmarket from the economy brands is the quality and innovation of their product in areas where typical OEM does not prioritize. Things such as software, day to day experience etc.

In terms of internal engineering, there are innovations as well. For example: The superbottle and octopump system utilize software and clever engineering to eliminate a complete coolant loop in the system. This eliminated parts, made the system more efficient and reduced cost. Tesla didn't have the organizational baggage plus they attracted some brilliant and dedicated engineers to make it happen.

There are many more documented examples of this.
> making the Russian government fabulously wealthy

Seems to be true, yes: https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/russias-oil-gas-reven...

Governments seem to be responding to this. This week, Russia is saying it will block all sales to any nation implementing the G7 proposed price cap on Russian gas. (Russia is free to not sell anything if they don't want to, of course).

However, thanks to this invasion, Russia now only has a few years remaining of such significant gas exports left, no matter what: the more time passes the more substitutes for Russian gas are installed, because it is unacceptable to NATO and EU nations for Russia to have the capacity to threaten them with reduced fuel supply.

There's also the question of what fraction of Russian export capacity to Europe would vanish in the hypothetical where the pipelines going though Ukrainian territory were destroyed for whatever reason (I can think of at least three scenarios leading to that).

> a fantastic first job

Of maybe it was a normal job which you were respecting to its true value? Being treated as a human being sometimes feel uplifting compared to other experiences.

I hired an intern (in France it’s a two-year contract for 20-year-olds where I pay their study and they get shit pay). One the first two days, she worked 6.45 hours (contract is 7hrs).

It’s her first job in an office (has once worked as a vendor) and I’m tempted to terminate her. She has learnt less at school than I thought. Maybe she’s young. I thought when you really wanted a job your worked 8hrs the first day, just in case. I can’t tell her that, because as an employer it’s forbidden in France. If I fire her, she’ll have to find a new employer before the beginning of the classes, which is impossible, so she would have to only start school next year.

But I fully expect that the reason she hasn’t learnt enough at school (like, not learnt Ctrl+Z, or using Caps Locks for a single uppercase, I mean common you’re a digital native, I’m not, I was expecting her to do most of our marketing), is the same why she worked 6.45.

I’m also upset that you can pass Baccalauréat and license degree and not master basic typing.

It doesn't say they won't have ads or sell your data. Hint: their privacy policy is already terrible. No mention of GDPR or of them complying with any privacy laws. Their privacy policy mentions "EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks" for exporting user data to the US, a framework which has been declared bogus by the EU courts years ago.

There's no many examples of "open core" calling itself "open source" that if they decide to switch to open core they'll just be another drop in the bucket.

The only conflict of interest here is the VC looking for a quick exit as rates are rising and your comment shooting down what appears to be a bootstrapped alternative/competition.

Althought I wonder how much it will take for this padloc fellow to turn around and announce that he decided to accept VC or even worse, issuing tokens on Ethereum.

We are almost at the Minsky moment and lot of founders are going to realize they no longer own the companies built.
The carbon monoxide is possibly more valuable than the oxygen.

It's a good feedstock for making hydrocarbons and petrochemicals and also as good a reducing agent as hydrogen for making metals. In fact you could use the CO to make, say, iron, producing CO2 which gets cycled back into the above reactor.
Gain Ratios
The grid needs improvement constantly always anyways.

My point is that the specific grid related needs of EVs are not the roadblock to their adoption.

My point is that: A far more serious problem for the grid is increasing temperatures and heat waves and the demands that increased AC puts on it.

So in terms of emphasis ... "the grid" as a talking point about EV adoption is mostly thrown up as a smoke screen to discourage their adoption. And it is intellectually dishonest.

I find this useful also, especially with new technology where I may not already have a good mental model of how it works.

I generally use Notepad++ and it's often just a set of notes about the value of important variables in certain files @ a particular line of code or at a particular time. I find that seeing that big picture at a glance can often give me immediate insight into what's happening. Something you can't always see when you're focused on a few lines of code in a method.
"as said institutions would put in place strong measures to avoid it"

I was going to joke, but this is NOT TRUE AT ALL

Based on my life experience, a more correct idea is, "as said institutions would put in place strong measures to avoid appearing to have caused it"

This tilts the argument back the other way.

Look, I don't know about lab vs natural origins of COVID-19, but I do know that big, human orgs tend to have more CYA theater than actual preventative measures in place.
> Don’t all lunar journeys start with a low earth orbit?

No, at least they don't have to. It's more efficient to boost directly into an orbit that's eccentric enough to bring you close to the moon, if you started from LEO you'd lose a lot of the gains.

> Or will the fuel needed to boost to escape velocity boil off over the wait?

No, but relighting an engine is a relatively high risk procedure, so it only makes sense if the gains are large.

The point I was trying to make is that if you want to deploy a professional (as in performant) static web site, just throwing some files in a folder and pointing Apache or Nginx at them isn't enough

Not the OP but i have a similar stance. However a mistake from individual employee doesn't mean that i instantly loose trust. Its the handling of the mistake what matters to me. Sweeping it under the carpet, dening their mistakes or outright lieing about mistakes is what results in me loosing trust.

That's not fair, these questions have existed in the public sphere for years now with no official explanation. This is one more "talk to the hand" played by the authorities. I suppose when authorities behave this way, they shouldn't expect themselves to have grassroots support.
(USA resident here) I've made several high value purchases ($100+) online without getting an additional 3D secure prompt.

Much more difficult syncability between desktop and mobile. Similarly, sharing a vault between multiple users is also quite more involved.
Even if you generate energy using oil or natural gas, it helps that the combustion happens in a 55-60% efficient combined cycle power plant rather than a 20-30% efficient car engine.

And of course it enables power generation that is not bound to inefficient combustion - be it hydro, solar PV, wind etc.

> keep all the energy company profits

With the new energy profits levy introduced in July, the headline tax rate for oil & gas profits is now 65%, which is some way off letting the energy companies keep their profits.

What the UK is doing is letting its energy companies make bank while prices are high, and taking a (temporarily enhanced) cut of that to fund a cost of living subsidy for consumers.
>because at least one guide is required for each donkey,

Why? Can you not assemble them in groups like other pack animals?
They were most probably aware of that yet
The alternative we do is:

* Order vegetarian when eating out. Non-western cuisines do incredible food that doesn't have any meat in it.

* Only buy meat + eggs from a local farm that effectively does things "small batch". Their farm is open for visitors and you can see pigs and chickens that actually look happy. The pigs even run over to you when they smell you and you can see their cute little tails wigglin'.

* Try to eat less in general.

I don't know if I'll ever personally break from eating meat. But I do think that paying prices that are actually related to the cost of raising the animals, and doing so from a place that actually lets them live a pleasant life before slaughter feels better.
> We’re also not seeing a clear economic picture in Canada and the USA because subsidies/tax breaks/etc can significantly transform the final costs of something like milk or beef in a grocery store.

Thanks, this was the question I came to ask about the why is my fake meat more expensive than ground beef at the grocery store.
Definitely use DRF for this kind of usecases.

The problem with his approach is that it'll always expose ALL the fields of a model to the frontend, like hashed passwords, and can come at a performance cost if the queryset was run with `.only("some", "fields")`. This can be tolerable for small projects but it doesn't scale too well on the long term...
> the substitutes seem unnecessarily unhealthy

As a meat eater, this has been my philosophy. If you’re gonna go vegetarian, just go for it. Vegeterian food is delicious and there’s so much choice! Entire cultures of amazing natively vegetarian foods with no need for weird meat substitutes.

Personally, legumes don’t have the right macros. Neither do fake meats. Cottage cheese and greek yogurt make better meat substitutes imo.

I agree it's not surprising but this not a convincing point. I'd expect "plants" to mean very different things in A and B. Not the same plants, not the same quality requirements... I'd expect almost everything to be different between plants-for-humans and plants-for-animals agriculture.

A lot of Web 3 stuff is about federating infrastructure in ways that still allow centralization of control. IPFS is just another one of those protocols. One other thing that turned me off about IPFS/Filecoin was the huge amount of compute power needed to run a node.

Slidge can be used to bridge XMPP and signal, and I'm actually more motivated to keep it working with relatively open services like signal than with services from Big Ad.

I personally think XMPP is superior to signal, being decentralised and with an open governance. For instance, I've not yet seen some cryptocurrency crap being pushed at me on the XMPP side, which I very much enjoy. I wish everybody moved to XMPP, but apparently it's not going to happen anytime soon, so in the meantime, I'll try to contribute to making XMPP the best instant messaging network. When everyone moves to XMPP, then slidge will have no reason to exist anymore, and my evil plan will have succeeded.
So a young developer inexperienced with COBOL and old computers tries to set up his modern days IDE for it, "laughed hard" (sic) judging it by modern standards, then publishes a long article to share his misconceptions.

Honestly, his "surreal" experience isn't caused by COBOL but his inability to understand a technology in its age and context. Why do we keep sharing content so little informed?

I totally agree, however there are some low-criticality services where 2FA is a burden and having it in your main password manager app is a tradeoff worth consideration. Definitely NOT your primary email address.
it will probably be replaced as part of a paradigm shift on the order of the web itself. what that will look like is hard to say, but maybe it will be a move towards more privacy oriented computing or high level specification languages for self-programming computers.

On the "adjusting them as you type" front, the Wooting keyboards already support detecting a key retrigger even without a full release. They are monitoring key position and if you start to release and then push again they can make it trigger a new keypress.

I agree that having a software defined key-press resistance would be amazing. If you could manage that and then add in haptic feedback to simulate standard mechanical keyboard actuation clicks...
The feminist "movement" is happy to take credit for those changes but the real reason why women were pushed into the workforce is that governments can't tax domestic work and billionaires can't take a cut of the profits.
Conferences are good because travel can be fun in any job, and because it means you are talking to other specialists in your subfield instead of your normal colleagues.

Hence, only buy hardware products that retain full functionality without a companion app, where applicable. Although the trend it clearly in the direction of locking everything down with software unfortunately.
> a language can be both easy to read and provide a way to avoid that larger code-bases turn into spaghetti.

"easy" is always relative, so compared to what? Compared to a language that isn't well crafted? Sure. And in practice, most languages could be optimized a lot. But that is not what I was talking about and thinking like that only distracts you from the bigger picture.
Framework bloat is community-scale efficiency. [Everybody uses a different 20% of the framework](https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2006/12/09/simplicity/), but it means that the core infrastructure, team, QA, etc are pooled. If you need to expand to 21% you already have that covered. If you look at the popularity of Spring Boot you see that people want more integration and between libraries not less. Now, it drives me nuts and definitely offers many sub-optimal solutions, but we need to face it, large frameworks are here to stay. Large frameworks are the new operating systems. You can do better with custom on bare-metal but there is a reason the Linux nevermade it on the desktop.
> I haven't heard about any surgeons giving up wearing masks in the operating room. Wonder why...

Those masks are as much about blocking blood spurts from the patient as they are about blocking spit from the doctor. They're not meant for blocking airborne viruses either way.
> It's clear you have never work with a lot of data.

Sure, I only wrote an open source distributed pub/sub system with channel-based sharding which has been used by thousands of companies to support hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, but I guess 'lots of data' is a relative term.
