Nissan's e-Power line is exactly that. The ICE only exist to charge the battery and is not connected to the drive train. I think they call these "series hybrid"?

So instead of building some gas stations here and there we just install hundreds of thousands charging stations on private and public property across a metro?
>And on the rare occasion that I needed customer support, the experience has been very pleasant in comparison to almost every other tech company I depend on.

That's amazing, especially given that this is an Indian company, and "Indian customer service" is known throughout the English-speaking developed world as being terrible.

My Google Apps account does all I need for now, but I've heard enough good things about Zoho from you and others recently that it will be on the list of alternatives to check out.
> Somewhere between known incidents with 6.2 kg of plutonium and nothing happened incidents with some sticks there’s a point at which something could happen.

Yes, but that somewhere is an epsilon below the demon core. How do I know? All nuclear bombs have a core, that's more or less the size of the Demon Core. They don't go critical until they need to.

Here [1] is a photo of scientist holding a plutonium pit with nothing but gloved hands. He is smiling. He does not look like someone thinking that the likelihood of a criticality event is all that high.

Now take another look at the few sticks of plutonium in the photo. Draw your own conclusions.

Ask HN: Visual node-based data wrangling?
A couple months ago there was post of a new/closed alpha data processing SAAS. It was similar to patterns.app[1] in that it had drag-and-drop nodes on a graph, but allowed you to write javascript/SQL/python in the nodes to wrangle data. I lost track of the link -- anyone remember?

Battery cost are still falling 10-15% a year. $100 kWh batteries are here already. ie Tesla battery costs per car ie 50kwh are $5500-6000 Musk is selling $35k+ not because he can't make cheaper cars but because he can make higher margins on expensive cars with battery production capacity he has. We will get high quality cheap electric cars once the battery production capacity is higher than the demand for expensive cars. Which will be here a lot faster than people are thinking.

Experian also tracks employment history, legal and civil issues, income levels and what not, and makes those records available to anyone that wants to pay for them.

Such "credit scores" are not just limited to finances in the US, a lot more information than most would be comfortable with is made available to interested parties.
I agree with this. Tons of process that doesn't improve product quality in my view.
Perhaps it depends on the field. The software business has no standardized titles or career progression. Many companies inflate titles or let programmers choose their own. You “become” senior when your colleagues acknowledge you as such.
I don't think investing in it does anything meaningful. It's much more important to start using it. To do this, you only need to buy a small amount (a couple hundred USD is plenty). IMO for real life transactions, Monero is a pretty good choice:
- It is not practically traceable like bitcoin or ethereum, which gives plenty of privacy
- The community actively fight against attempts at centralization (building ASIC and GPU resistant algorithms) -- most Monero mining power comes from CPUs, which evens the playing field quite a bit [1]
- Transaction fees are minimal (typically less than 0.01%)

Some services marketed toward privacy-conscious users have started accepting Monero, such as Mullvad VPN [2]

The number one thing that is difficult is that there are lots of problems that have been already solved, but not well. Whereas at the beginning, being first to solve and ship the resulting features as a product was significant, and performance optimization was often a key enabler of feature viability, now quality of solution has lept to the forefront. No crashes, security errors, data loss or corruption. With high quality comes a larger degree of process.

It's not a bad thing. It just means that knowing one language and some algorithms - formerly the exact skillset of a typical CS grad - isn't really "enough" to do anything. Instead it's whole stacks of software that an organization has staked their own project on. At an old company, they built most of the stack, but nobody who built it is around anymore. At a new company, it's open source, but they don't have anyone to spare to maintain it. Eventually there is some threshold that gets crossed where the stack is the problem, and that drives an attempt at solving things better.

But it's no longer the case that most orgs have to build most of their own software; it's nearly always glue and one piece of special sauce.
A tanker, even empty, cannot get into the bush. Even an unprepared 4WD is often unwise to take into the bush. A few jerry cans of gas in the bed are no bother at all.

I think eBay has distanced itself from PayPal. The last time I sold something on eBay, about three months ago, I did not see PayPal as any part of the sales flow.
GP is right, it costs nearly 18-19 lakh on road.

Auto websites are a much better source of prices.

See: https://www.cardekho.com/tata/nexon-ev-prime

However, there are cheaper EVs available from the Tata stable, such as Tigor EV for under 12 lakh, so the point stands.
So there are no chargeback fees or penalties in Australia?
fwiw, in my industry, I should not assume anything about technical literacy. We’ve had honest debates over whether we can even rely on people to have an email address.

Again, it’s not that I disagree with most of your premise, but in fact, as the comments (not just mine) show - people have issues with submitting too early, so it can be a good decision to break that depending on context. Fewer errors. Which is why I brought up how the problem is presented to the candidate. You might be filtering out people based on something less universally accepted and understood than you think.
There needs to be more evidence of cheating then "no one calls with Jack crap" (they totally do), "she had the better had" (she did not unless she knew the deck which requires way more evidence than presented), "the pot odds were good" (which any player would know was true if their opponent didn't pair up or have a better high card), or "flustered player who just won $130k on a bad call is flustered".
This study is a joke. 20 years after exposure. Self reporting exposure. Done by a country with a huge reason to find positive results so bias is a strong possibility. No mechanism for how exposure could result in genetic modification specific to pulmonary issues.
Be really interesting to know how many times they actually do this.

Knowing PayPal, they might actually think about enforcing it. Could that even possibly hold up in court?
meow mode in linked article seems really well thought and effective, probably have to give it a try :)
What EV has 500mile range?
Heaven forbid for anyone like Akio Toyoda to have a pragmatic outlook on the future of four wheeled enclosed personal transportation that departs from the popular narrative.
You have to keep in mind that India’s best selling cars are usually under the 8 lakh price barrier. EVs are not there yet, but its only a matter of time before they go under that mark.

The US is disposing of chemical weapons because they're enormously expensive and simply not that effective. Chemical weapons usage by Cuba in Angola didn't really turn the tide of the war.

Also, the US has nuclear weapons plus a huge fleet of bombers with conventional weapons. Pretty easy to give up an expensive party-trick when you basically decapitate the military of most countries in just a few hours.
There's a decently high current power line available from street lights. Not sure if they're still putting them in with high current since so many are converting to LED, but sodium lights drew ~1kW iirc.

There's already been projects to put in chargers on street lights, like this one https://lalights.lacity.org/connected-infrastructure/ev_stat... and this one https://www.electronicspecifier.com/products/renewables/conv...
Where are all the "PayPal is a private company, lol they don't have to obey the first amendment, you have no freedom of speech, lol XKCD #1357" bros?

The grip of gasoline and corruption of government is severe enough that it is unlikely EV's will be able to scale to current gas vehicle use.

1. Electric charging will never be standardized. Gas is gas. Until we pass laws saying your electric car cannot have subscriptions or non compatability for charging you will always be stuck with specific types.

1. Gas stations are contracted to sell gas. That contract can say "no electric". The stores make money from gas customers. The drive range of EV's would have to run circles around gas to compete, and if it does, they won't be customers anyways.

2. The vast majority of people cannot charge an ev rapidly, if at all. Parking infra did not take access to electricity into account. I know at universities you have to pay extra, and it's just a normal 15A outlet.

3. Ev companies, especially Tesla, are rent seeking. The average consumer cannot afford it. Packages and subscriptions to your own vehicle are a cyberpunk dystopia.

We already cannot properly handle power demands. 100% green initiatives lack on demand scaling, especially in disaster conditions. The base cost of natural gas electric generation means it must take up a chunk of overall power gen.
Programming has always been about gluing together mystery meat. Now we just glue together bigger parts.
Experian and other credit tracking companies don't just track credit history and finances, but much more, like employment history, income levels, civil and legal disputes, etc, and make them available to whoever wants to know that information about you.

Then there are other firms that do similar things, like ClearView AI compiling dossiers on people's online activity and social media posts.

Yes, colloquial usage of "credit scores" in the US typically means FICO scores, but the more general usage that's used to describe China's system as a "credit score" can also describe very similar systems we have in the US, as well.

Most of that is private property. They could probably treat it like a telephone pole, but it's not as simple as "just go install 400,000 chargers wherever their is street parking."

To clarify,

Tata Tiago (going to be released in 2023, announced yesterday) costs Rs. 9 lakhs. (11000 USD) - https://tiagoev.tatamotors.com

Tata Nexon EV (released a few years back) costs Rs. 16-19 lakhs. (23000 USD) - https://nexonev.tatamotors.com/

A medium model between the two also exists, Tata Tigor, costs about Rs. 14 Lakhs (17000 USD) - https://tigorev.tatamotors.com/
I have worked for a few school districts and the security has always been very poor. Nobody really hardened Windows too much, leaving the attack surface wide open. In grade 8 I discovered blank admin creds. In grade 12 trivially pwned our grade system with url enumeration. I disclosed these responsibly. The local community college had numerical birthdays for student AND FACULTY passwords and published the full class rosters on Moodle for any student with basic OSINT skills to have some fun, although I think this policy was changed after they got owned last year. I tried to tell them. Schools either need to go full Chromebook, or get a SOC, or we need to start really investing in Linux-based school infra. Or Windows needs to make group policy easier maybe. I found something called Univention Corporate Server, a German debian-based offering which seems fair, but I can't speak for it in practice.. One of the problems is School vendor software is typically beyond bad. Very, very expensive with ANCIENT libraries. Payroll uses super old programs because they comply with obscure and complicated state tax requirements for schools, that they probably paid 40k for. I'm just ranting at this point... Sigh I just got hired to work at a college again and would love some thoughts this, news like this always triggers me. I'm not sure what I'll be walking into just yet. Lately I see districts moving responsibility onto cloud vendors.
I never claimed it was good play, just that it is believable play.

What do you think about the public school teachers union? They present their politics to the kids for a thousand hours a year, for 13 years.
This policy has been discussed on HN before. It’s extremely cynical, and unique to PayPal’s status as a service that holds money for you.

Any service could say that you’ll have to pay $2,500 for violating the TOS if they want to. Instagram could say it, but nobody would give the money to them willingly and since it’s a bullshit clickwrap contract they’d have a hard time finding a sympathetic court to inflict it on you.

The problem is that PayPal says it and then doesn’t just shut your account down unaccountably with no human recourse they take thousands of dollars of your own money when they do it, and you’d have to fight them in court for it. It’s a fait accompli situation.

No it’s not remotely ethical.
> 20 years after exposure.

Why is this a problem? They have medical records in Iran. It is a developed country.

> Done by a country with a huge reason to find positive results

What reason? This study was done long after the Iran Iraq war.

> No mechanism for how exposure could result in genetic modification specific to pulmonary issues.

Does every study have to explain a mechanism for cause?
Well, not exactly. EV's still have emissions, they are just displaced. They happen at the power plant instead of the tailpipe. You would cause more pollution if the electricity was generated with coal instead of gasoline, for example.
> 1 large potato… kill me! At the farmers market potato’s can come in very different shapes and sizes.

I may be alone in being annoyed enough to write a rant about it, but I suspect I'm not alone in being annoyed by it, especially when he does it over and over. His stunt may be useful in drawing attention, but I suspect it's counterproductive at drawing agreement.

Painkillers and anti-inflammatories are usually taken to shorten recovery time. It's usually a sign that an athlete can't keep up due to old age/injury or, if many athletes are using them, because the sport has an unrealisticly busy calendar.
From the introduction: "On the other end of the spectrum, formats such as HDF5 and BLZ address problems with large data sets and distributed computing, but don’t really address the metadata needs of an interchange format. ASDF aims to exist in the same middle ground that made FITS so successful, by being a hybrid text and binary format: containing human editable metadata for interchange, and raw binary data that is fast to load and use. Unlike FITS, the metadata is highly structured and is designed up-front for extensibility." [0]

Frankly, I feel like making the metadata of a scientific data structure human-editable is something of a mis-feature, or at best a non-feature. I use metadata in HDF5 files as a form of provenance tracking and I'd rather there be some friction to editing it.

At my company, external hiring and internal transfers are all on hold, at least until next year.

Comp is going to continue falling, given it depends more on equity than salary. Projects aren’t really slowing down though, and we’re continuing to burn people out at an even faster rate.

I’m waiting for my upcoming equity grant. Going to quit, do nothing for 6 months, then look for a job.

Is it a good idea to quit just before the economy really tanks and most companies freeze hiring? Probably not.

I’m so burned out from this fucking, abusive company. I hope the government steps in, jails their executives, and breaks this company apart. 70% of this business wouldn’t survive if that happened, and these cold, soulless so-called “leaders” would be begging anyone for a job.

Amazon couldn’t pay anyone enough for the verbal, mental, and physical abusive it offers.
He's a strong right wing biased writer (at least in the recent times) and his writing have been criticized by a number of environmental fact checking organizations. So uncritically posting his writings like they're some kind of miracle is disingenuous at the least.

I also think his Twitter name with MD at the end is some kind of attempt to give his name some sort of extra power. He's not an MD - those are his initials but he could easily modify it to be less indicative of a medical degree.

Tata cars are heavily built man. They are rock solid, have great safety ratings and many prefer them for their build quality.

What I understand is that in India

- Buy Maruti for efficiency and low cost of spares and service
- Buy Tata or Mahindra for build quality and sturdiness
- Buy Honda / Hyundai for good engines but high cost of spares and service.
OK I admit that the analogy is not worthwhile on second thought.

But if you have the legal right to run a proprietary OS the of course you can run open-source apps on it. Similarly if you acquire somehow the legal right to run Ultralight then you can legally run Muon.

Zelle has different hurdles. I recently tried to pay someone and the maximum daily transaction with a single person was set at $500 with my bank unless there was some sort of "history". It took me 5 separate days of payment to accomplish what a single check could do. The identity and confirmation dialogues were exceptionally clear that the bank had no liability so I have no clue what their issue is considering what inflation is doing to the dollar.
That is quite the false dichotomy (trichotomy?)
In cities, Nexon EV has become a common sight. And Tata has made good effort to ensure EV and Non-EV look and feel the same.
This drives me nuts because 'affect' as a verb means something closer to causing an 'effect', while 'affect' as a noun doesn't. Because of that, on the surface, it feels like 'effect' as verb would make more sense than 'affect' when describing the action of causing an effect on something.
So 10k+ in for a 5+ year old car with a “reconditioned” battery that should last another year or two for 100 miles range on a good day? All the early Leafs suffer from short range along with terrible battery degradation.
