It's a pipe dream that we could have regulatory sense, but if they were standardised this would not be a problem, you'd just pay $200/kWh or whatever the going rate is at the time.
They will have to wait a really long time for that.

Tesla battery only degraded 20% in 9.5 years.

Aluminium wiring is still being used in buildings around the world. If the country where you're from banned aluminium wiring for some odd reason, it's probably that the wiring was defective and they couldn't legally or practically replace it with anything except copper wiring.
Any other stocks you like we should short?

Lots of things could work. The logistics of hydrogen make it laughable as a mass replacement for gasoline as an energy fuel for mass market.
Just so much crap to learn.

I started in the mainframe/COBOL days. There, the programs could be sophisticated but the systems documentation was excellent. Just a little complex and you really had to understand algorithms and such.

Then came client/server. That brought transaction monitors (like Tuxedo) and took away the benevolent dictator model (IBM) that gave you transactions practically for free. New stuff to learn, pitfalls to avoid.

Then came J2EE. A ton of complexity and false starts on fledgling technology. XML processing, etc. Finally REST came along and made things somewhat understandable-- but still you had to manage transactions finally.

And now we're in the Kubernetes age. Once again, tons of infrastructure to learn, but a strong framework. (So somewhat like the mainframe days.)

It's all a big circle. You have to constantly learn. I really think it is harder to get on board now than it was in the past.
Tesla is getting half million miles out of batteries. If my model 3 gets half that i’d be ecstatic and 1/4th that i would still be happy (and you can get them refurbed for 15k or less..which is cheap if you get another half million miles… )
This says that the trajectory was affected[1]:

> On Sept. 26, DART crashed into Dimorphos at a speed of 6.6 kilometers (4.1 miles) per second. The impact should have changed Dimorphos' orbital period around Didymos from 11.9 to 11.8 hours — a difference of just 4.2 minutes. This will pull Dimorphos slightly closer to Didymos.

> On the "social media" label, HN is one, but it works pretty differently from the others. Same goes for MMORPGs, drawing sites, reddit gardening communities etc. Putting all of it in a single basket makes the discussion a lot harder I think.

I become very much confused when people conflate HN with social media since I more closely associate it with a forum than media. Forums I associate with discourse. Media I associate with pushed content. Sure, most sites blur the lines but it is also pretty easy to figure out the underlying intent. Twitter is about pushing messages to an audience, even if a handful of people try to encourage conversations. Reddit communities are typically for people discussing things, even though Reddit tries to push other content.
Bolsonaro, also known as the Trump of the Tropics, is the incumbent far-right candidate for the Brazilian elections. He's widely known for his mismanagement of the COVID pandemic, misoginy, racism, anti-LGBTQ stances and support for fires in the Amazon.

Now that the voting is nearly fully computed, he received roughly 43% of the valid votes (over 50 million). Lula finished in first place with roughly 48% (over 56 million). They are going to run for the second round on the 30th of October.
How Much Does a Mobile App Boost Retention Compared to a Website?
I’m curious to hear your experiences in user retention via an app versus a website because we’re considering building one.

Push notifications plus screen real estate and higher barrier to entry naturally make it seem that user retention on apps would be greater than a website. However, hearing anecdotal stories and numbers would be great.

For example, the Whatnot cofounder said one of their major iterations on the way to pmf was a mobile app over a website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OKD0IAcwMig&t=291s&ab_channel=YCombinator

Thanks!
The lab that quip was from is managed and operated by for-profit contractors. I believe the intent was to relate how common it is to make safety shortcuts to boost productivity.

With that said, I'm not sure it call all be attributed to a profit motive. The article also states that this lab was historically the best funded and generally considered above scrutiny, which led to a culture of arrogance.
Respectfully, you can praise the achievement while still being dismissive. The two aren't mutually exclusive.
I'm not sure....I don't think it was turned on by default for AKS. I can do some digging if you want.
Hands down the greatest problem for programming as a profession/industry is talent identification. Every couple of years some new job board or head hunter claims to solve this problem, but they never do. The problem remains unsolved, and the reason is because there is no agreement upon definitions of minimally acceptable competency.

The effect is guessing. Everybody guesses on whether a candidate can potentially do the job. Some of those new hiring start ups might be slightly better at guessing, but its really still just job boards or head hunters with a large margin of error.

The way other industries solve this problem is to establish baselines of accepted practice. If you exceed the baseline you may or may not be employable, but you do at least exceed the minimal technical qualifications to practice. This is true of professions like: teacher, truck driver, lawyer, doctor, nurse, accountant, real estate, fork lift operator, and really just about everything else. Unfortunately, most software employers spend all their candidate selection effort attempting to determine minimally acceptable technical competence instead of more import things, such as soft skills, and even still its often just guessing.

Other industries apply this solution in one of two ways: education plus a required internship that may result in a license or education plus a license followed by an agent/broker relationship. Education may refer to a university education or a specific technical school depending upon the industry and/or profession.

To mitigate hiring risks, since everybody is just guessing anyways, employers turn to things like tools and frameworks to ease requirements around education and/or training. This is problematic as it frequently results in vendor lock-in, leaky abstraction problems, and catastrophic maintenance dead-ends when a dependency or tool reaches end of life. Even still potentially having to rewrite the entire product from scratch every few years is generally assumed to be less costly than waiting for talent in candidate selection since there is no agreed upon definition of talent and hiring is largely just guessing anyways.

All of this makes programming both easier and more difficult, depending upon which side of a bell curve your capabilities reside. Reliance upon tools to solve a very human competence problem is designed to broaden bell curves which allows more people to participate but also eliminates outliers. This means if you, as a developer, lack the experience and confidence to write original software then you might perceive that programming today is much easier. If, on the other hand, you have no problem writing original software without a bunch of tools and dependencies you may find software employment dreadfully slow and far more challenging than it should be for even the most simple and elementary of tasks.
I mean, that's true. But there's nothing to excuse here.
You total it out when the hood gets a dent, so ultimately what does it matter?
I'm referencing the many other classes that are perfectly legal to discriminate against. and the allowable discrimination is becoming broader.

But this disagreement highlights this major problem the US faces.

We live in two increasingly separate realities with different 'facts', where obvious is totally different based on your identity.

the one religious non-belief class example I gave is the football coach prayer case.

to me it's an obvious overreach and clearly breaks secular education norms (and past scotus rulings).

to such an obvious degree that the minority (on the court, majority in public opinion) broke precedence and put photos directly refuting the 'facts' the majority claim are truth.

that's also a bit spurious. i don't think anyone is arguing that churches must be forced to interview (or hire) other religions.

but the majority does believe that the state & courts shouldn't create laws that expressly allows someone to discriminate or refuse to provide service to someone else just because they are gay or trans or use different pronouns. or deny an adoption. or disallow kids from playing incredibly low states high school sports. or ban books. or not talk about gender & sexuality. i keep using queer-centric issues because that's my identity and I can speak to it better than race/trans issues. there are plenty of examples there too.

it's minority religion dictating laws that affect our lives and explicitly allowing those beliefs to take away rights from the rest of us.
This is truly incredible. The grandson of a president from the 1840's has to bear witness to ... the Tic Tok age and China's growing mind control of the world's population.
I also ANAL, but is it really like running on a proprietary OS? It seems more like having a dependency on a non-free library. An open source program which requires, for example, DirectX is pretty severely hampered, right?

Of course this one is a little bit more grey-area because it seems that it is easy to get free individual licenses for this code.
I agree. I think this publication is a net-loss for the world, for sure. People will find and use this code--people who could/would never create it themselves.

It will be used for many reasons, but the stalking is the most obvious.

What? Of course those $20,000 economy EVs will be sold in places where $20,000 vehicles are considered "economy" vehicles. Does any car dealer in California consider the price of used cars in Havana before pricing theirs?

If anything, there's no reason why those rich, first class bubbles should be able to buy $40,000 luxury ICE vehicles when the world is slowly burning, but try telling them that, and now those people who just lectured you about "first class bubbles" will brand you a Marxist.

Some people just want the status quo, whatever the ultimate price is. They can't be reasoned with.
> If you're hauling around a fossil fuel generator to plug charge your EV, that kind of defeats the purpose :)

How does diesel get to where you need it to refuel except for being hauled around?

With electric you have options. Charge off mains at home base 90% of the time. Then maybe you go to a camp and run off a generator for a couple of days a month.

There is more than enough lithium. There is a temporary shortage of lithium production.
The subject was rural India lacking the infrastructure for EVs, which was a ridiculous point. Obviously there's a market for EV's in Bangalore and Delhi, that's not really much of a discussion. The upthread commenter (who I think is the one you're arguing with, not me) seemed to want to have a carve-out for "EV's can't succeed because of undeveloped regions".
No, of course not: it's part of the premise of a secure group messenger that the server can't control the groups. Which is what makes it so incredible that Matrix screwed this up so completely.
I don't have much to add, but I just took a re-watch of Monty Python's Meaning of Life. The opening scene (after the intro short film) is amazing in that it's only a couple minutes and shows many of the pathologies of a modern health system (despite being 40 years old now), while also being hilarious. It depicts the birth of a child where the mother is basically an afterthought to all the expensive machines that the doctors get to play with. As soon as they have the lady's legs in stirrups, a gaggle of onlookers is welcomed into the room, but the husband is asked to leave since he's "uninvolved". But most important the amongst the crowd is the administrator who explains how they cleverly use accounting to manipulate the costs of the medical equipment.

To cap it off, when the mother asks if the child is a boy or a girl, Graham Chapman responds, "it's a bit early to start putting roles on it".
When I see a number with a leading zero, I think “octal”. Perhaps octal years are A Thing?
I don't get why you're being sarcastic to me?

You can recharge from mains, or a diesel generator, or a gas generator. Maybe put a big diesel field generator and tank static in a temporary camp location and then work out of that location charging each night.
You can still sell the battery after, or use it yourself to reduce your electricity bill

To be clear though, i'm not saying that its always direct. Plenty of things can be strategically valuable but not instantly translatable to $$$. Even businesses don't always do things for the short term profit exclusively - sometimes long term matters.

Hm, we've always made marzipan at home for Christmas. It's easy - start with almonds, scald in water and remove skin, let dry. Grind to almond "flour". Mix in an egg white (optional), add powdered sugar - mix by hand - like dough.

Optionally add coloring. Make into shapes. Optionally coat in dark chocolate.

Never realized the paste would be heated for normal marzipan - only that it can be baked to make a cake - but that ends up tasting somewhat different (still good).

> That’s not what you should have taken from that example at all, which is specifically why I used two white coded names

What’s a “white coded name?” Most Black people have names similar to other Americans. E.g. here are the top names by ethnicity for babies in NYC in 2013: https://www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/vs/baby-names-.... The top 3 Black baby names are Ethan, Jayden, and Aiden. Playgrounds in Park Slope are full of kids with those names.
Actually, I have an explicit agreement that I can spent around 10% of my time on issues of my choice, without having to check with the management. And sometimes, for bigger refactoring work, I have negotiated explicit to-do-list items. On the other side, in the process of re-evaluating the to-dos, I myself often recommend to postpone refactoring when I see the need for implementing a certain feature fast or when I have the impression that the code quality is "good enough" for the moment. Since management trusts me that I can appreciate the business perspective as well, I actually have little trouble asserting myself when I think a particular refactoring issue should be prioritized.

So in my case, it works in practice.
If we just do it a bit harder certainly it’ll finally work!
Be careful what you wish for. There's no guarantee that we're better off with the person who replaces Putin. From what I understand Putin's the moderate.
It would be an interesting "game" to play 20/20 Hindsight with those companies -- knowing what we know now, how could they have successfully navigated into the new world.

Sears seems like it could have transitioned if it didn't have its head up its ass. The death of film means Kodak would have to constrict and double down on printing, and simultaneously expand their general chemistry efforts into new markets (which I believe they did but too little too late).
I don't think the west should start getting involved...

However the plans in Iraq, Afghanistan and Syria didn't go well to this day.

First I'd have to find them, but I've never heard of that happening. On the other hand, I've had plenty of battery problems in ICE cars.
Thank you for the eloquent comment. I showed up wanting to post something similar, but you did it better than I ever could.

Can I ask maybe a personal question? Do you worry about becoming obsolete? I’m at the 16 year mark, and I was wondering when’s the appropriate time to panic. You seem to have made it about a decade longer than I have, so I figured I’d ask some tips.

The hardest thing about programming now vs then seems to be staying relevant.
> Software engineers have an average IQ of 110 with those in the 90th percentile scoring just shy of 130. Software engineers at the lower end of the average have an average IQ of 93. There is a misconception that all programmers have exceptionally high IQs which isn’t backed up by any research

The post seems to say this bit over and over in different contexts.

> Programmers are not smarter than average, they typically have an IQ of 110 which means they are at the top-end of the normal range for intelligence.

It also seems to want to say programmers are average, with 10-90 percentile being within normal range. But technically 110 is above the average.

> Software developers tend to have an average IQ of 110 which is above the global average of 100 but still well within the normal range. You will meet some developers with IQs just below 130 but these are rare. More than two-thirds of programmers sit well within the normal IQ range so don’t be put off becoming one because of an IQ score.

It seems to define 1 in 10 programmers to be 'rare'.
That was their MVP of retail. IIRC, they never hid their ambitions to expand their market.
Honestly; navigating the corporate and other “professional” systems is the nightmare for me - especially in big business.

I won’t go into too much detail, as it will just turn into a vent. And the current industry direction in general doesn’t make it easy (containers, industry leading black-box “solutions”, system admin and security).

In my immediate experience; cowboys that just “do” no matter the risk, informed or not; are really thriving right now. Not sure if this is a post-pandemic large lockdown results driven thing..

But if you follow good/great practice, are a responsible, policy and process following individual - constructive and critical thinker; you’re in for a hard time. Smaller firms seem to handle this better, in my past experience.

Theres also a group of individuals in between these two that seem to be struggling.
Where I live it already is, no ones talking or thinking about it anymore. Bars are full, no mask or vaccine rules, office full of people again.

> if you are going to play you are fine

I manage a fleet of off-road vehicles at work, and just came back from a camp location we were operating out of a wood clearing with no mains. We pack in our own generators and fuel for these periods where we can't access the grid, which could be used for charging.
My i3 was $22K, and is close to 100% factory spec. Leafs that needed new batteries were going for $12k; reasonable ones were $17-20k.

Last I checked, Anbox is completely abandoned by the maintainer and is getting no updates. Waydroid is the new Anbox. No point even considering Anbox over Waydroid
Do you not worry about the transmission, water pump, radiator, or even the engine itself failing? Does that mean you don't buy 2nd hand ICE cars at all?

I've had a water pump die on me within 6 months of buying a 2nd hand car. In nearly 20 years of driving 2nd hand cars I've had more issues with ICE cars I've bought than I have with the two used EVs I've bought.
I like your thoughts here. Not sure why your parent comment is getting downvoted.

There are probably multiple facets to this story as the article alludes to: a government funded private lab raking in the big bucks and government trying to rein them in a bit with this violation in an overly punitive way. Rendering then useless so production goes elsewhere...

Wake up, we don't talk about computers. We talk about cars. Big heavy maschines that can't be shrinked and where the technic is not evolving as fast as the first years in computers.
You will need the same amount of energy to bring a car today or in 20 years from a to b. And this amount of energy needs to be transfered to the place where you want to charge your battery. And there is the problem that will not change in 20 years. You can supercharge 5 cars an a parking lot now, but for 50 cars you need a complete other infrastructur thats bind on the same physics that cars have today.

And no, you never ned 1GB of hard drive for anything that was done with computers at this time. Now we use computers for completly other things. I suppose on cars the usage will not change as far as with computers.
