With no horse in the race, it seems the WaPo article is trying to prove a negative (that the military had no involvement in spreading a disease) by asserting that it wouldn’t be the first to spread the disease, and had neither a motive nor enough knowledge to do it intentionally.

As for most negative proofs, that still leaves plenty of rooms for any other combination of event where some of the above are not true (e.g the military accidentally participating in the spread of an existing disease for instance)

That feels like a lost battle to me.
Chevy Spark supposedly starts at $13600, available inventory seems to start at $14595 + tax, title license and fees. I have never bought a new car so I don't know the + part, but that's got to be getting close to $20k.
Stable Diffusion now makes art history a desired line of study.
Your kid self isn't really wrong. However, your kid self is comparing the "mass market" versions of things while your adult self understands that "mass market" kind of sucks.

Mass market "fruit cake" is terrible. A "proper fruit cake" has a ludicrous amount of alcohol in it and is quite a different beast. I suspect I've never had "genuine" marzipan. And a chocolate peanut butter cup or creme filled donut made by hand at your local store is very different from anything "mass market".

However, I will also say that kid you is remembering a different food as well. Reeses cups have gotten terrible--the chocolate and peanut butter have gotten nasty. Similarly for creme filled donuts, I'm pretty sure that they don't even wave a dairy product over those anymore at Dunkin Donuts.
You seem to defend the social justice crowd without putting in any critical thinking for yourself.

I'd reflect on that.
EV batteries generally don't die outright. They just lose capacity. So instead of a 300 mile range you have a 250 or 200 mile range. It's still a useful vehicle, just not as valuable.
I drive 0 5-6 days a week. I also drive 2000 miles to FL and 600 miles to St Louis etc etc.

Somehow I put 32k miles in my EV in 2 years despite WFH with no commute
From what I can tell most racists are either born into it (grew up surrounded by it) or fall into it looking for a place to fit in. Mere exposure to an idea is insufficient. I propose you test this 'idea virus' theory yourself. Go find a racist podcast and see how many episodes it takes for you to start thinking that jews and black people are inferior. I'm going to go ahead and guess that no amount of hate speech will cause you to think that way, but feel free to try to prove me wrong.
The safety issues pre-dated any profit motive:

"In 2005, shortly before the profit-making firms wrested majority control of the laboratory from the University of California, the lab's "nuclear criticality safety program did not meet many of the" nuclear industry's standards, according to a DOE report in 2008."

The lab just doesn't have a culture of safety, it has nothing to do with profit. The profit motive was mentioned in the Japanese lab, not Los Alamos.

> does a hybrid exist that's battery first and then has an ICE to fall back on

That's what PHEVs are (Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles).

Relevant to the article, those include the (Toyota) RAV4 prime and Prius prime. I think the one I see the most is the Chevy Volt, which unfortunately is discontinued, but seemed like a good PHEV.
Having used all three clouds quite a bit in the past 10 years for various clients, I can safely say, GCP appears to be so far behind AWS & Azure that I don't see them becoming even close third to them, let alone take the #2 spot from either of them in the near future. They have a few bright stars on the Data/AI space and GKE, but that's about it...The other two are significantly more mature and robust in every way!

With that said, it's highly unlikely Google will abandon it. GCP is not just another product with some niche user base, it does generate a lot of revenue and there are some large companies including Apple that are using it and have substantial workloads on it.
at least where i am, these either do not have their own parking lots, or have multistory lots where maybe 5 spaces out of dozens are equipped with chargers, and I have no idea how feasible a full retrofit would be.

in the pre-pandemic world they had to implement a queue system for the charging spots, so you couldn't just park your car the whole day in one and had to move it out to let someone else have a turn.
Gas tanks are small and light compared to batteries and engines. It all comes down to how much battery you want, and whether you want an engine.
I think its easier to learn to develop software now than it was at peak Java/Object-Orientation.

A lot of the abstraction then was simply mind boggling, and while the patterns all still exist today a lot of them have been simplified by language features and put on a diet.
Fuzzy searching generally doesn't mean exactly the same thing as typo correcting or other full text search features.

It's more like you can search using word parts. Similar to how your IDE's search work when jumping to files. E.g. you can type 'smb' to find 'Super Meat Boy'. Or type something like 'sup mea acc' to find 'Super Meat Boy Accessed Content'

So it requires you to know exactly what you're looking for, but you can find it quickly without having to type a lot.

Generally for full text search like you're describing you need to do that on the server side. It would be too heavy to have something full featured like that on the client side.
Symlinks are just as problematic honestly, an app writing to it will change the object in the persistent "immutable" storage. The way the "check out" feature works is also weird, causing a change in the shared version history.
Also use higher voltages, and therefore lower currents.

Heat losses are proportional to the square of current, so relatively small voltage increases fix the problem.

Right, those Bubba said order are from a different lab, not the "profit motive" Los Alamos one.
>This type of thinking is what hurt Kodak ultimately I think. They invented the first digital camera, then scrapped it because they made money in film.

There is nowhere near as much money to be made in the digital camera market. They failed to adapt, but at the same time, there was no saving what was an immensely large company even if they did adapt.

Film revenue for Kodak was $16 billions in 1996, adjusted for inflation that would be $30 billions, that number will make anything digital look like nothing (15 billions is the current revenue for the entirety of the digital sensor market in current dollars and Sony has 43% of that pie, a share that has been dropping as more competitors have entered the market and as Samsung kept improving.). You see a Sony sensor in many phones, but Sony doesn't make anywhere near film-era Kodak revenue on that side of their business. The higher end camera business is more profitable, but it doesn't sell much in volume, and the low end of the camera business has almost disappeared because of smartphones. (Canon, the biggest producer of digital cameras, has all but ceased making compact cameras apart from their G7X model. You can still find other models on the market but they're older unsold stock and refurbs. They also announced they would stop producing new DSLRs and will solely focus on making a narrow range of mirrorless cameras. To put it bluntly, the digital camera market is in a very unhealthy state. Don't solely look at price tags either, Leica for example makes some of the most expensive cameras on the market but.. their revenue is $400 millions, not even $1B)
Being able to write the same program in both paradigms, perhaps even with the same parallel speedup, isn't that difficult (as soon as an appropriately rigorous definition is available a proof probably won't take long). The difficulty is in gaining the same performance from structured concurrency as non-structured -- a difficulty that plagues modern languages with respect to goto as well.
Yeah, so being not too smart is selected for in an ecology of indudtrual civilisation. Which doesn't bode too well for it as it depends on people able to deal with complex matters.

Also other traits are not selected for either as modern medicine saves us.
The problem is if you have a PC connected. PCs generally don't support HDMI CEC or eARC or any other mechanisms to signal the TV to turn on or change inputs. This is supposedly for security reasons.
And that right there is why a good CEO can make or break a company. They don't have to be experts in everything, but they need to be good enough to tell which of their experts working for them to believe, or to bring in outside expertise when needed.
The plan is more like 80% EV. A key feature of technological progress is that some people and some places will always be left behind. At least without massive government intervention.

Once EVs are in a clear majority, gas station network will start shutting down, as it is no longer a profitable business. Without easy refueling, old ICE cars will become almost useless for most purposes, and that 80% will start looking more like 100%.
yeah. paying to watch stuff on a website is a failed gimmick. i predict harsh prosecution once people realize they can get an infinitely better UX via piracy and not having companies choose what they watch and not having to do stupid stuff like web auth / web commerce

> Worker shortages are no joke, there are $20/h+ jobs that people aren't willing to do.

You can arbitrarily choose any wage level and complain that people are not choosing these jobs. The wage is not the point - the purchasing power is.

$800 a week is not a whole heap of purchasing power when you throw in things such as housing, medicals, etc, etc, especially if the person is time poor (due to commuting, schooling or other committments).

> It's almost as if a crash and a depression has to happen because of human psychology.

False choice. There are other paths that do not lead to a crash and depression, but these might force the upper classes to take a haircut on their expected wealth growth. Then again - for many people the rich becoming slightly less rich is pretty much the end of the world, I suppose.
Great question! People with a typical sense of smell get to experience the smell of expired food already, adding expiration dates for who can't is inclusive, not ex.
Those accounts seem the most likely to be randomly named per-site. Why would they reuse a username?
No. The solar panels are likely more than 10% efficient and the battery and motor are going to be pretty efficient. Hitting 100% efficiency on the solar panels is ~impossible, so even if you get really close to ideal on both sides of it you aren't going to do 10 times better.

I guess a wildcard would be making the vehicle lighter.

Here is another solution. Assume a head multiplies your money by `r = q/p', and a tail divides by `r'. This bet is fair (the expected value of a dollar is a dollar: `p r + q 1/r = q + p = 1').

Start with a dollar, after several tosses you have `r^(head-tail difference)' dollars. The game ends if head-tail difference is `N - i' (with probability `x') or
if head-tail difference is `-i' (probability is `1 - x'). The expected
value is still a dollar:

1 = x r^(N - i) + (1 - x) (1/r)^i

Solve this equation for x.
If you're extremely patient you can do it manually :)

That’s potentially plenty though. You only need street charging for a relatively small
Percent of the population. For most drivers 1 night in 3 would keep you fully charged.
A recent oped in the NYTimes argues there’s not enough lithium for all the world’s car. So using smaller batteries like in the RAV4 would stretch the lithium across more cars. Personally I would rarely use gas given the 42mi range. On the occasional long trip the hybrid engine means I don’t have to wait around to recharge. Best of both worlds.
Generally in the US it is assumed, I think, that if a public figure doesn't make an occasional comment about public events, then they are in favor of the status quo, which is itself a political statement. So, I'm not clear on what what a public figure "without politics" could look like.

I mean Taylor Swift managed to dodge the idea of politics for years (it was an explicit strategy because of what happened to the Dixie Chicks), but eventually people started directly asking questions, and saying "I don't want to comment on this thing my fans feel strongly about" is pretty bad for business I guess.
Well sure, he has to say that, because they have zero foothold in the game and have been campaigning to kill electric ev laws. Toyota also has 200 billion, yes 200 BILLION dollars in debt, they are the second most indebted corporation in the world.

Most people charge their cars at night because utility companies incentivize to do so via time-of-use rate plans. There's nothing natural or convenient about delaying the charge until the middle of the night, what's most convenient is plugging in the car as soon as you park it.

Wind farms generate the most power at night, so that'll continue to work. If solar becomes dominant, then they'll make it cheaper to use electricity when the sun's still up, and we'll stop delaying charges until after sunset.

It's going to take decades to fully transition to electric vehicles, plenty of time to build all the renewables needed, all the storage needed for time shifting, and all the smarts needed for cars to participate in the smart grid.
Not really sure how to think about that post.

Along one dimension, it says they "don't work". Is it safe to generalize when, in fact, lots of people successfully met the "love of their life" on some dating site?

Some sites are, in fact, $99/month (or more), others are free. It's not even clear to me that price is a measure of success. It might be along one dimension: if you're wealthy enough to pay $99/month, then that already says something about you (not sure what, btw).

As a retired computer scientist, I met a working computer engineer at a free dating site - that was 10 years ago. Is 10 years long enough to mark the event of meeting her as a success? I don't even know that.
Completely agree. I think the darker side though is that successful individuals must not only have good ideas, but advocate for their ideas effectively. I still haven't figured that one out, personally
Yes, it does, at distances of thousands of km and 50 or 60 Hz. One of the reasons why high-voltage DC is preferred over those distances.
> EV cars have a finite lifespan

But the same is true of ICE cars. Transmission, engine, catalytic converter, fuel pump, alternators (not to mention routine maintenance like oil changes). EV's win on ongoing maintenance, and even if you have to replace a battery at an authorized dealership, you will still come out ahead versus the maintenance cost you would have otherwise paid.

In terms of 'catastrophic battery failure' compared to 'catastrophic engine failure' - not sure the EV would lose that battle either.

In short, yes, EV's have a finite lifespan, but so do ICE cars, and ICE cars are much more complicated, with many more expensive components that can fail, and are extremely expensive to replace.
I think you are ignoring an important part of this question, which is what is going to happen in India and Northern Africa, where most of the population growth will take place over the next 50 years. I don't think these countries can afford an 'economy' EV, or widespread infrastructure to support them, certainly not in the near term. India is certainly making some encouraging moves [1], but your comment seems quite too optimistic and Western-centric.

Security is ultimately a question of cost to attackers.

Is their goal of “compromising your app” worth risking you noticing their (valuable, hard to create) zero-day and getting it fixed upstream?
300 years ago people like AnimalMuppet would have attacked you for writing the date as 1722 instead of MDCCXXII, for precisely the same reasons, and been precisely as correct. Fortunately not everyone is like that.
The economics just seem different. The batteries lose capacity with time, compared to ICE cars that wear out with miles.
Honestly, I don't feel the need to provide a source to support the claim that, if you decrease the costs of doing something, more people will do it. (Though, as I said a few posts ago, that's not to make any claim about the size of the effect, or whether adding bike lanes is enough on its own to make a difference.) If you want a citation, the Minnesota study seems like it supports exactly what I am saying.

> The presence of facilities also appears to be associated with higher amounts of riding, although the precise nature of the impact is still unclear. From this research, it appears that a facility can increase the amount of riding in an area even up to one and a half miles from the ends of the facility, but it is not clear whether the effect is larger for residents that are closer than this.

Here are some more:

* https://www.vox.com/2014/6/5/5782472/study-bike-lanes-really... (Haven't found the original study yet--the article's link seems to be broken. But the charts tell the story.)

> But when 2,283 of the cyclists in these lanes were surveyed, 10 percent of them said they would have taken another mode of travel (i.e. car, public transit, by foot, etc.) if the lane hadn't been built. Another 1 percent said they wouldn't have taken the trip at all.

* https://nacto.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Bike-Lanes-and-...

> This study finds a significant correlation between the presence of bicycle lanes and Capital Bikeshare usage, and also highlights the importance of population density and mixed-uses in encouraging ridership.

* https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2024399118
(Studies Europeans, though I don't see any reason why incentives would work on europeans and not at all on Americans--though maybe one would expect the effect size to be somewhat smaller in proportion to Americans' lower level of fitness)

> We find robust evidence for substantial short-run increases in cycling in European cities due to new provisional cycling infrastructure.

It bears repeating, though, that this isn't just about bike lanes.

If you weren't aware of what's going on in Iran right now. Here's my TL;DR:

* Iran's "morality police" beat a woman to death for improperly wearing a head scarf.

* This has triggered a major uprising throughout the country - people are sick and tired of being oppressed by the regime there.

* Which has led to widespread protests, with security forces responding with extreme force - mowing down protesters with assault weapons, using ambulances to sneak up on & capture protesters, using young kids as security forces, and a lot more. 100s / probably 1000s dead (hard to confirm). Steadily rising.

* The regime has also cut off most internet access, which has made it extremely challenging for people to get word out

The people of Iran could really use help building awareness of this, and getting some international pressure put on the regime that's in charge.
