The biggest element I think people are underestimating is Tesla's level of vertical integration in 2022. Boston Dynamics has no large scale production facilities to speak of. They have not invested millions in ML hardware/software/training architecture. They have not developed their own electric actuators designed to be produced cheaply and at scale (in factories they already own). They are not sourcing their own lithium for batteries. etc. etc.

A big reason Tesla is entering this space is because a huge amount of the things needed to make a functional android that can work in a factory they are/were already doing. There are so many synergies it would be stupid for them not to try something like this. And this is a decent amount of progress for less than a year, to the point where I'd be surprised if this didn't cause some BD people to swap teams.

And BD being "ahead" isn't the dig people seem to think it is. BD being ahead just means there is a benchmark Tesla knows they can get to with current technology and (probably) surpass. Saying BD is ahead is like saying Lockheed Martin/Boeing were ahead of SpaceX in 2009 – trivially true but woefully shortsighted.

> And the Ukraine Constitution was then changed, so elections after that aren't considered legitimate by everyone as a result

So unlawfully changing the constitution voids the election results? Because that's exactly what the pro-russian president did, reverting changes that turned Ukraine into premier-presidential system, gaining way more power than he used to have.

Imagine this: a president gets elected and immediately discovers that changes that stripped presidents of power 6 years ago (!) were unconstitutional. What a lucky coincidence.

You can read about it here: https://www.venice.coe.int/webforms/documents/?pdf=CDL-AD(20...

And the changes you are talking about didn't "change" the constitution, they reverted it back to previous commit.

But for the sake of the argument we can skip the details. Let's say you're right, the constitution was changed, and from now on elections are illegitimate. Are you suggesting to treat them illegitimate forever? Is there a process to make them lawful again?

Because if there is, my bet is that Ukraine has followed it: they reverted constitution back to the most stable commit, and held two elections afterwards. Those elections were recognized by everyone in the world, including Russia.

Do you have a better process in mind?
Sure, but none of them are readily available to someone you argued with on /r/politics who has taken agin you.
The issue is that Russia, China, and North Korea would all agree. Except they would say "Let the US go first".
I think most of the damage has been done by politicians who used populist rhetoric to set those inane time limits after which "all non-EVs will be banned". That is just stupid politicking that's easy to pass because none of them will be in office by that date. How about having both EVs and ICE?

In some european countries, the amounts being paid as subsidies for EVs are insane. In some parts of italy you get a Tesla for like $8000 . But this winter europe will have trouble charging them, and this model clearly does not scale. Let's focus on installing solar and expanding remote work instead
Electron doesn't actually do this. Most Electron apps you know have a native iOS and native Android counterpart for mobile. React Native and Flutter do allow you to do this, though. They are the true Electron heir. Flutter / RN even run on stuff like Car infotainment systems, tvOS, watchOS and so on. They've got Flutter running on embedded too.
With DRM, you have to pay extra for what used to be your rights. There are people right now thinking of ways to further restrict what we may do, so they can sell permission to do it back to us.

I don't really know if there's a better way to do it. If you're going to shut down and refund everyone's purchases, you need to disable purchases at the exact moment you make the announcement, otherwise people will buy things for semi-free knowing they'll get refunded in the future. If you tell game devs before the general public, it's going to leak out. If it leaks out you either need to lie and say it's not shutting down, or announce that it is shutting down, in which case the game devs didn't really get much advance notice.

Nonsense. Doing layout in Qt is much, much nicer than HTML/CSS. If you could just push a button and get executables for all the major platforms, by default, like you can with Electron, it would be winning.

> b) depict or appear to depict nudity, sexual or other intimate activities,

So you're not allowed to sell a significant amount of art? I'm not talking about artistic nudes, I'm talking about a lot of Renaissance style works (e.g. Birth of Venus[0]) or Art Nouveau (e.g. By the River of Tuonela[1] -- which also isn't child porn), which I think everyone agrees aren't pornographic in nature.

> (c) depict or promote illegal drug use,

Are Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson promoting weed? Cheech and Chong? Harold and Kumar? Do you incur a >=$2.5k fine for selling H&K Go to White Castle DVD to your friend?

> (e) depict, promote or incite hatred or discrimination of protected groups or of individuals or groups based on protected characteristics (e.g. race, religion, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation etc.)

Can we not sell old Disney cartoons collections? Or Loony Toons? What about more modern things like Django Unchained? Does this apply to books? That sure rules out a lot of important books.

I get wanting to be moral, but these rules are so broad it feels like PayPal is just saying "Don't use our service." You can make Nazis, fascists, Klan members, pornographers, and sex traffickers violators of your service without making people that sell historical art, popular music, and books violators.

>If you’ve stepped outside a devolved country for even a few days…

I've noticed, especially recently, that a lot of tech people are hilariously out of touch with anything outside of first-world metropolitian environments.
Most of the world only needs a car that will do 45mph with a range of about 50 miles.

What people need most of the time is basically irrelevent though. If you need a car to drive 20 miles a day for 364 days of the year, and 300 miles 1 day a year, then you need a range of 300 miles. It's the outliers that determine the requirements, not the typical use cases.

What makes you think they’re not nakedly self interested? They get the most out of the system, because they get to run the show. They not only get a powerful club against “bad white people,” but also get to hand-pick “representation” to shape minority groups according their own preferences. They’ll pick Hispanics who answer to “Latinx” but never one that believes that abortion is wrong. They’ll pick Muslims that endorses white American views of gender roles. They’ll pick the Asian that says Asian values are a “model minority myth.”

It's not entirely clear to me what you're asking, so please excuse me if I misunderstood something (please do explain if that's the case!).

If all you want is an offline map on your phone, you can already do that in Google Maps, just drag an area to download and you can position yourself using GPS and navigate around in it without needing internet. That lets you download a big area at a time (several hundred square miles). If you want something for the entire globe, you might need a different app, and it probably wouldn't be as detailed.

The OpenStreetMap project has data for the whole world, to some fairly good level of detail (depending on where you are and what you need it for). The dataset comes in about 100 GB: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Downloading_data and you can use one of these apps to view it: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Using_OpenStreetMap_offl...

Both Google Maps and OpenStreetMaps make extensive use of vector layers. An SVG is just one file format for storing vector shapes, but there are many others, and mapping apps usually use more specialized formats. But they are still vectors and share many of the advantages of SVG (smaller file size, cleaner lines, easier to edit, etc.) It's not really SVG but similar enough.

If you're not just wanting that for personal use and you want to MAKE such a map yourself, it gets a bit more complicated.

This is a helpful article on map projections, including lat long: https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/arcgis-pro/mapping....

An SVG (or any other vector shape) has no innate projection, it's just a bunch of lines and curves. You can georeference them (align a shape, like a building or lake outline) to real-world geography using GIS software, like the free and open source QGIS or paid software like ArcMap.

Then you'd save that into some geo-enabled format. For the web that would be something like GeoJSON or one of the ESRI web formats.

A geoJSON gives you vector shapes, much like SVG would, except they exist in some defined reference system of your choice (like the list here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPSG_Geodetic_Parameter_Datase...). You can use free software like Leaflet or OpenLayers to display them on a webpage. OpenLayers is good at taking different layers of geo data and reprojecting them on the fly to whatever you want, then you can add additional base layers (OpenStreetMap, aerial photos, whatever) below your vector shapes.

If all of that is too complicated and you just want to make a simple map you can share with friends or whatever, maybe try Caltopo, Felt, or Google My Maps?

If I totally misunderstood what you're asking, please do explain.
Congrats on the business, and thank you for sharing!
Except, forces that be won't be particularly thrilled about letting a formally verifiable, safe and secure operating system dominate the market. There's going to be serious resistance as long as humans are at the top.

The original budget for it was on the low side. It's launch budget went to the lowest bidder - SpaceX at $69m ( https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/nasa-awards-launch-servic... ).

The mission as approved 3 years before Arecibo collapsed and final assembly of the spacecraft was done half a year before. https://cosmosmagazine.com/space/dart-timeline-from-build-to...

The loss of Arecibo was a loss to the mission as the pictures that you most often see of Didymos were from Arecibo.

The mission itself was also a technology demonstration of a camera, autonomous navigation using that camera, solar arrays, new antenna, and ion thruster design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Asteroid_Redirection_Te...
I think kpop artists spend more time building an emotional connection with their fans. In Korea kpop stars are on TV a lot, usually doing things like playing games together, sharing stories, hanging out at home, at work, at a cafe or restaurant. It makes you feel like you know them personally. With social media there are more people doing things like this, and those people have similarly devoted fans (e.g. the Kardashians). In the west artists still expect and want some degree is privacy, they want to make music but don't necessarily want to be a "professional famous person". My understanding is that for a kpop artist that's basically part of the contract.
Yes for basic websites simple DB based session might be enough. And if you think about these sessions they are essentially opaque and stateful tokens pointing to a row in DB containing the information you need. But saying JWT sucks in plain generic terms is out of context statement, in large micro-service environment if every front-end service starts hitting an identity service the fan out is gonna kill you! You keep a basic set of information in token that is most often used, not every service will need user phone number, and all of his roles. 95% of your read traffic will need some basic ID, email, and basic roles that can be satisfied from JWT token. What OKTA is suggesting essentially is gonna push all the load onto a DB or some sort of datastore, so that it becomes SPOF, and now you have shifted problem to scaling that DB/Datastore. Answer IMO is it depends.
If something has more than 50% market share, then it obviously can’t double because then it would exceed 100%.

Honda doesn't deliver 2.7 million bikes a year. Maybe they did a few years ago and your info is out of date? Sales of petrol bikes have been declining for a few years in Vietnam, as the market has become saturated.

Honda, Yahama, Suzuki, Piaggio, and SYM combined sold 2,492,372 units in 2021. And that wasn't a massive crash due to covid, sales were "only" down 8.1% compared to 2020. Honda is about 75% of the market. So around 1.8-1.9 million bikes.

> The number of new electric scooters is not even six figures.

Sure, I didn't say it was a big thing nationwide, I said some cities, so we're not really disagreeing. They make up 10% of sales now, not 50%, and even if they did it would takes year to replace all the aging bikes on the road.

I said there are some cities in the north where they are very popular; I'm not talking about Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi. I don't pretend to know why some cities seem to have tons, whether it is local policy (I think this is what happened in central Hue) or because cheap Chinese ones have been available for a while (I think this explains some of the border towns) or what. Lạng Sơn is one place where I remember them being very popular.

> But they still ship the most passenger cars among other manufacturers last year.

Toyota sold 69,002 cars in 2021. Hyundai sold 70,518. THACO also technically sells more than Toyota but they sell under multiple brands so it's not really the same thing.

But you're right that I overstated things with Toyota; I was pushing back against the ridiculous claim that they will somehow have a monopoly and went too far.

What I see there is the cut edge of the hair overlapping the blade rather than any change in the blade itself.

The videos are very cool and I appreciate cool videos, but I don't see any evidence in them for the claim of capturing damage to the blades. It's possible that the press release omits clearer videos that unequivocally show damage to the blades during cutting.
I find it mildly amusing as a reminder about some of the irrational exuberance floating around the ether.

Last I checked it was a fair bit easier to put up 4 solar panels and an inverter than build your own oil refinery.

$1000AU worth of panels, a $200 charge and a $1500 battery will give you 30km or so a day.

Pays off in about 4 years vs $1.80/L even with very optimistic fuel economy. if you park at home then the price halves.

If you can put the panels where you park that goes down to 1-2 years.

For Cybertruck they literally built a giant new factory first because they didn't have the existing capacity to build it, and existing factories were better tooled for the successors to their existing car designs (e.g. Model Y).

A lot of that electricity is produced by nuclear or burning low grade oil at site and isn't connected to the grid in many regions.
The energy density of lithium-ion batteries per dollar has been doubling every four years for the past 20 years and that trend is continuing which means that by the time you have to replace your battery (assuming 10 years), you can do so at one fifth the original cost (or you can get a battery with 5 times the energy).

Sounds like a good deal to me.

According to semver there should be some heavy incompatible changes in this release, while it’s only a regular update.
