Unless you're trying to make your own EV factory and compete globally on price, the fact that it's subsidized is irrelevant (unfortunately), because the way subsidies work, the China subsidized price is how much an EV like that costs.

Underwhelming. It doesn't explain anything, it just shows that the air at the top of the airfoil moves even faster than in the common "same arrival time" explanation, which would even strengthen the effect.

After showing that the video stops. No alternative explanation is given.
It's the same principle as with the largely family-owned German Mittelstand - so many of these companies are "hidden champions" are where they are because their leadership / ownership doesn't have to bow to the will of some obscure "committee", but can do what they feel is right for the company and will ensure its long-term success.

In contrast, transferring the trademark to a committee-run foundation (or to go into economy analogy again, a company that's traded on the stock market), the incentives for those in control can drift: short-term profit wins over long-term interests (e.g. trust of the public). We've seen way too many organizations in the FOSS world fall victim to that, most notably Mozilla and MySQL - the former is always embroiled into some sort of scandal and Firefox usage has fallen through the floor, the latter was mismanaged by Sun and eventually Oracle so hard that its co-founder was forced to fork off the codebase.
Ideology, much less deception, is not how you convince the commons on something as mundane as a web browser. Firefox didn't usurp IE6 because it was FOSS, Firefox won because it was straight up better.

Likewise, any contender to Chrome today must demonstrate objective, practical superiority (and be honest about it). The commons don't know nor care what FOSS is, arguing FOSS to the commons is a fool's errand.

I appreciate gorhill, a trusted name, took the initiative to release a MV3 adblocker, because that simple act stopped fools like you who would readily deceive users to force an issue.

Also, pro tip: Deception doesn't last for long, and once it comes to light you are never regaining that lost trust and respect.
I exercise daily. Transcendental meditation is a good choice for improving my mental health. I practice twice a day. Regarding health books, good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health by Gary Taubes is a great book for being healthy when you are older.
> I've found that Eastern European developers generally believe they are the best (even when they aren't).

Eastern Europe is an extremely ambiguous category, unless from where you sit the cultures of Estonia, Poland, Russia, and Armenia seem to produce similar junior developers. I suspect for US it translates to "post-Soviet countries", which is quite an outdated viewpoint.

It’s rare to feel understood, but everyone needs understanding. And those who take a genuine interest in others stand out against the drab self-interest common in the business world. True interest in others is the key to effective selling. When you use your scarce time and attention to understand your customers and offer them a plan that enables them to succeed, you can sell effectively but never sound salesy.
Maybe because the initial reporting got so much traffic, Citizenlab pushed far more resources into investigating NSO products? Maybe its political in nature? I can't imagine the reasoning is technical incompetence by NSO (have you read the FORCEDENTRY writeups? its insane). Maybe NSO's clients more haphazardly pursue targets, so there is a higher probability of recovering some forensic evidence?
Even then, few artist got famous on technical skill alone, surely less than those who got famous primarily for their message irregardless of their skill. And this is before getting into the endless pit of defining what art is.

Besides having an ai doing the legwork is no much different than Veronese giving large swath of paintings to his novices while focusing on the two/three major parts.

>The Maigret database contains not only the original websites, but also mirrors, archives, and aggregators.

Deeply unsettling. Having had my share of encounteres with people online taking personal interest in an unfriendly context, this is worrying. I don't need to run a search of my info to know to use different usernames, but an automated feature that allows just about anybody determined enough to easily find not only linked accounts but archived data. I'm glad I no longer use social media, at least infrequently and not the major ones- but the fact someone can find archived information? Time to make some adjustments.
Gotcha - thanks.
Ceramic knives are so prone to chipping that they effectively have micro-serrated edges even when freshly sharpened. A micro-serrated edge on a razor pulls hairs and cuts skin.

I don't doubt that in your experience ceramic knives cut food better than metal ones, but I suspect you have not used a well-sharpened knife. Mass-produced knives are typically sharpened using belt grinders and do not cut as effectively as knives hand-sharpened by someone skilled at it.

A large oil/gas/coal burning plant is more efficient than thousands of engines burning petrol/diesel, so just converting a large proportion of the fleet with BEVs nudges us a little bit in the right direction. Further, as the grid becomes greener (which it is, in most places in the world), the transport sector automatically gets greener in large fell swoops, without needing to replace thousands of cars. Plus the power generation plants can be placed far from large residential areas, mitigating the health effects on people.
Proprietary monoliths where you have to take or leave the entire package based on what is most profitable is not how you get creativity and innovation.

If you had to rent your cell phone off of ma bell with no other equipment allowed on the network we wouldn't have iphones.

If roads had ford specific infrastructure like the future elon imagines we wouldn't have tesla.

A balance between interoperability, end user control, and freedom for manufacturers is how you get innovation. In the current auto market you have none of the above.
What even are financial wellness tools ?
Can you be more specific? I know that population or geographic size alone has no effect on counting complexity - the number of people counting is proportional to the number of votes to be counted. Communicating the vote totals from electoral districts can be done through the same medium as the voting machines would use, and producing final sums takes only O(log n) parallel steps.

So where does the terror, confusion, and rampant fraud come from, and what is it about Brazil that causes them, when so many other countries manage to avoid them?

Not true at least in my experience. Approval takes around 2-4 days max for my extension.
Has anything good come from a manifesto in history? Or is it selection bias that I only associate the word with dictators and genocides?
> It’s not democracy that’s better at resource allocation, it’s the free market.

There is no "free market". Most (probably all) markets, particularly at national and international level are heavily regulated. Subsidies, levees, trade agreements, tax breaks... all of those are counter-freedom in the market, and also rely on good governance to perform well.

> All those stories of hollowing out an asteroid and turning it into a habitat or generation ship for 50,000 people aren’t looking so prescient.

If it's as loose as that then you could just put an inner steel "pressure" hull (the actual pressure from the outside would be negligible but it'd have to be able handle a human compatible air pressure) inside the asteroid and use the asteroid material as a radiation shield instead I guess.

Would work for a base but not for a ship with any appreciable thrust would shed material.

Could it be related to the age of buyers? Folks 16-25 usually have a bank account, but may not qualify for a credit card.

In my work there was pressure to enable PayPal when Netflix became popular (and they accepted PayPal, but not direct debit, so all the kids had PayPal).

These days it seems to have faded. As a payment option, it is really confusing to a lot of less technical people, and most banks here (Canada) offer credit-debit cards by default (except Desjardins).

You overestimate my knowledge of Rust :D I wasn't aware that NonZeroU32 is a thing, thanks for pointing it out.
I think it boils down to collection and processing of information. Add to that the fact that different actors in the system follow different kinds of goals. The real world is very complex and in order to transport information we need to simplify and quantify according to some model we made up. Further up instances work on the model instead of the real world. Those models become more and more abstract the further up in the chain you go. The reason for this is the limited information processing ability. One human brain can only handle so much. Talking or writing can only transport so much. An organization can only handle so much. We can have worse or better abstractions and less or more efficient organization structures and communication methods. But if your basic unit of information processing are humans with their limited brains it will always be difficult to do any central planning. Especially if the information gets distorted on the way and rules are not followed as they are intended. Then you need to add control systems that take further resources and control systems for the control systems and so on. I assume this is why central planning has failed in so many areas.

But what if we could create a super brain that can handle all the detail information collected at the lowest level and integrate it into one huge model of the state of the world? There would be no misaligned incentives inside of this brain, no communication bottleneck, no abstraction loss.

I'm sure that we won't "simply create" such a central instance and make it work in a single try. But I'm sure that it could work in some areas and produce very good results. Then it's up to our governments and society on how to use this power.

At least Android did a good job in forcing chipset vendors to keep up their BSPs with recent kernel versions... basically every chipset in use by anything with Android will have a decently modern kernel version.

Now, if Google would also enforce open-source compliance... the amount of hoops one has to jump through to get OSS dumps is absurd, and most of these lack critical parts (e.g. build toolchain, kernel config, partition layouts, DTBs) so it's OSS in theory but unusable to develop alternative OSes in practice.
I think you might be overlooking the fact that it's simply a lot easier to redirect a big object than it is to completely destroy it. If the cheaper option does the job of keeping our planet safe, why would we try to go with an exponentially more expensive one?
Thanks for your response. I've already looked into this list. The grants are either inactive or specific to individual causes. I've applied to the ones I could.
The article almost nearly hints at it by talking about ammonia and hydrocarbons, then goes on to talk about hydrogen storage tanks near solar farms.

Hydrogen has a very low volumetric energy density, and it embritles steel.
> For Brave, I was always skeptical of them because of how they are tied to crypto stuff.

The crypto stuff is already disabled by default, so not sure why people complain about it so much when it's opt-in not opt-out.

Brave doesn't require you to invest your own money, their coin holds practical value. People who turn on Brave Rewards get free money that can be withdrawn. Sure it can't make you rich but the money is still a lot more than Chrome and other proprietary browsers ever gave you, imagine getting paid for receiving (not viewing or interacting) ads. Their model works and they give away 80% of their revenue back to the users, who else does that?

Every time I hear someone calling Brave's crypto a scam, I immediately point out the fact that they're an independent browser company that was able to find a viable business model that doesn't require them to sell their soul to Google like Mozilla.

Everybody keeps asking, "What if Mozilla found out a monetization strategy that would make them independent from Google and allow them to make their own decisions", well that's Brave! It's the first independent browser company that's able to earn money on their own without compromising user privacy. I don't like crypto either but I do believe what Brave is doing has value and BAT is definitely not a scam, it works and it works well.
Yeah. The author is saying she doesn't care enough about the men in her life to spend time with them, doing what they like to do.
> There's also the inescapable incentive conflict of 2 wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

That problem isn't entirely inescapable, though. There's a whole mathematical discipline on voting systems (social choice theory) - unfortunately the important results are mostly negative (google eg Arrow's impossibility theorem, Condorcet paradox,...), but the specific problem of the "dictatorship of the majority" has a solution in principle, namely quadratic voting. But yeah, we won't really ever get a perfect voting system.
The Russian information space has significantly deviated from the narratives preferred by the Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) that things are generally under control

I think that in order to regain it's balance, the Kremlin will have the MoD take the blame.

And how much of tech valuations are based off of the bs revenues this genetates? Id venture a lot since a lot of tech valuations are levered up based on other tech valuations in a daisy chain
"A slightly less superficial article might note how such lies "naturally" arise in autocratic systems - where local officials are both under pressure to report good economic results, and have enough power to lie."

From the article:
"The explanation is probably simple: opportunity and motive. Part of what makes dictatorships dictatorships is that questioning the official line is dangerous. At the same time, autocratic regimes have a strong incentive to report healthy growth: its absence may be taken as a sign of incompetence or weakness, which dictators can ill afford.

Autocrats’ subordinates face similar incentives. In a related study Jeremy Wallace, a researcher, found misreporting by Chinese provinces, too. As he notes, a leaked American diplomatic cable from 2007 revealed the view of Li Keqiang, the prime minister, then a provincial party secretary. He had said, with a smile, that gdp figures were “for reference only”: he relied instead on proxies, such as electricity use."
Good writeup. One thing though - when possible it is best to use hashicorp package repos, this removes a lot of unnecessary actions, makes upgrades trivial and all that you have to do is:

1. Add repo for package manager of your choice

2. sudo apt/yum/dnf/pkg install nomad/consul -y

3. replace config files for installed packages.
> I feel like the reason we have ended up with Electron is that well-funded developments from large companies (like WPF, SwiftUI) always seek to lock-in developers to their single platform, well-funded from independent ones (like Qt) cost $$, and the rest just stays permanently underdeveloped from lacking dev resources.

The latter half of your comment asks some good questions, but I don't buy this initial assumption. As in: "The reason we have Electron is <truth>, <truth> and <unsubstantiated>" and then the rest of your comment is based on the 3rd part.

I don't think that's why we have Electron either way - the reasons for that are much broader & more complex but two large components of it are (a) the proliferation of web-technology due to the incredible success of the open web & (b) the overall development story of KHTML->WebKit->Blink prioritising their embedding API.

A fair and _competitive_ market is probably best, yet the constraints of both fair and competitive matter.

For example, it should be possible for a new entrant to compete in a market; but among other issues can fail with network effects (things tend to be cheaper in bulk), vendor lock-in (either literal or inertia), or credibility / quality concerns.

Competition can also be regulated out of a market with barriers to entry or a lack of (space for) alternatives. Regulations related to what type of housing can be built in an area, areas to build housing, transit options, etc.

An open, transparent, regulation and management of a market should strive to provide the best results for the people, and very clear to follow guidance about the needs of the people that can be fulfilled by offering more or better services. Resources those services utilize should also have clear and easy to comply with regulations. As an example; a location rated for use as a given type of building shouldn't need a complicated environmental impact assessment, rather the proposed use and construction methods should be compared to an already allowed impact with a pass / remediation / fail criteria.
By Firefox own stats, over 60% of their users don't have a single extension installed (?!) and Firefox users should be a more tech savvy ones.

I guess for Chrome that share is even greater.

Most people don't use extensions and don't know ad-blocking is even a thing.
When using Facebook ads I am fine with that.

First I argent for likes, after getting a lot of likes on the ad (from bots?) I switch to targeting the right demographic
1MB to only deliver a small text? You've got to be kidding.
How do you count number of calls in a dictators country?
They don't. But if you don't pay them enough, ad-companies will stop sending you any customers at all, and instead put their efforts into catering to other higher-paying clients. So you are incentivized to make a good ad campaign that generates a lot of sales.
> If you're an artist or a musician or a developer or, well anything really, what does it mean to be able to go online and are hundreds, thousands, millions of people who are far better at a thing than you are?

"hundreds, thousands, millions of people who are far better at a thing than you are" existed much before internet.

But when the world gets too big I take a walk downtown, and ask myself how many of these people I am looking at are famous, content-producing top talent developers.

Probably I am the only embedded C developer walking on this street right now. Maybe the only one in town?

How many of these people care about Vim vs Emacs, Rust vs C, etc? How many care about that guy that cheated on the wife?

How many towns like this, with none or a few software developers, there are in the world?

The answers to all those questions confort me.
Yes, the advice about the break falls from Judo or Aikido is one of the best advices possible, because getting injured due to falls is one of the major health risks for old people, as I have seen in many older relatives.

However, the break falls cannot be just learned, they must be practiced from time to time, which requires an appropriate surface, e.g. some kind of hard mattress, resembling a tatami, or even the real thing (i.e. a special mattress or tatami made for wrestling, judo or aikido, put on an elastic floor, e.g. a wooden floor).

Going to an actual dojo would be the best, if that is possible. While the practice of Aikido, as done in most places (i.e. based on cooperative training in pairs), is not something that would transform you into a killing machine or an UFC competition champion, it is a very appropriate relatively low-effort training method for old people, useful to preserve their flexibility and balance, making them much less prone to injuries.

Also the daily practice of some solo kata taken from some martial art, or of some Tàijíquán form, is something that can be done at any age with very good results for preserving the body fitness, by exercising all muscles and articulations in coordinated movements, with the advantage that no special space is required. Most such kata can be adapted to be practiced even in a small room, or outside on the ground in some yard, when no better space is available.
> For a substance that needs to be ingested in high doses for an average human (even a small child) over an extended period of time, what's the harm of having a contaminated park? You have relatively infrequent exposure, and you likely don't eat / drink from the area

Based on my experiences with how our children behave when they're playing in parks, I much prefer the thought of parks not being contaminated!

Small kids typically come home from parks dirty. Heck, small kids come away from pretty much anything dirty :)
The peculiar tale of the doubled revenue
I doubt Bitcoin mining is really suitable to use energy in realtime either. I don't think it makes financial sense to only run your expensive mining equipment during flares. In result the mining will run continuously, and just compete with other energy consumers.

To be honest I know too little about mining costs to dispute this. The Cambridge article about BTC mining using mostly fossils supports my point though. Having said that, I hope you guys are right in Bitcoin mining making energy greener.
