I think your experiences sound pretty rad tbh. I've been to a few small shows of varying genres including metal, funk, acoustic folk stuff, comedy, and many many symphonies, pretty much as often as I can. Almost always worth it.

Though our interests align, I have a hard time agreeing with your last statement. If you're intentionally closing off categories of experiences, then it depends on why you're skipping those specific experiences whether or not it's close-minded. If you're unwilling to determine what those are actually like, (excluding more serious things like distancing yourself from drug or alcohol culture) then yes I'd say that's somewhat close-minded. If you're just allocating your resources towards the things you definitely like, then that's just a matter of some level of risk avoidance. You might not have known those small shows in Bavaria would be any good, but they turned out to be, and the same could be true or not true of anything you've just avoided. I'm not much of a party guy, it varies from season to season and night to night. But sometimes I gotta go, and it's usually but not always worth it, much like the symphonies.

Hah! Your girlfriend and my wife have similar sodium habits (and perceptions). I've never been a fan of salty food but it seems the culinary consensus is to salt the hell out of everything although they call it "seasoning." I am convinced that salmon flavor suffers profoundly from the contemporary salting craze.
>Except they have learnt from Ukraine that if they threaten to use tactical nukes, people fold like a house of cards under your policy and Russia can get whatever it wants by holding the world hostage again.

No, they haven't. Let's not fall back into the dishonest takes after we made so much progress.

>What is to stop Russia doing exactly what they are doing now again?.

To repeat for the millionth time, the extreme cost that we impose on them for adventurism. They will not be willing to pay the cost they paid in Ukraine for fucking Moldova, for example.

>Why do you refuse to acknowledge that your policy just allows Russia to continue doing whatever it wants as long as it threatens nukes

Because it obviously doesn't to any honest interlocutor. I'm not sure what your deal is.

>My policy is to support Ukraine with any weapons that are not escalatory (ie dont given Ukraine its nukes back) and to provide Ukraine with the intelligence and support that it needs to push Russia out of its borders.

It's interesting to note the contrast between your actual policy proposal and the bombast of your rhetoric:

>The only thing that will stop Russia having its colonial ambitions is to defeat them in such a thorough and direct way that they never think of doing it again as it would risk destabilising their country.

It turns out you can't surely achieve the outcome of your rhetoric by adhering to the constraints of your policy. So which one gives first? What outcome are you willing to live with in reality, stripped of the rhetoric and cheerleading?

Google takes quite a lot of shit for this approach (understandably).

Sorry, Indian govt. is looking at EVs as a job creation engine. Charging stations, sales and service stations, investments in grid upgrades and installation of renewable energy sources, focus on green Hydrogen, etc.

One trouble I have with OAuth2 is that so much assumes social media providers or UI-based flows.

> EVs are definitely going to remain a first-world item for my lifetime at least.

How much longer are you planning to live?

EVs WILL be the VAST majority of autos sold globally in 30 years.

Depending on the curve, ICE vehicles could still make up the majority of vehicles on the road - but the writing for them will have been on the wall for a long time - probably within 10 years.

> Over a 5-10 year period, EVs currently pay for themselves in saved money on gasoline.

I don't know how else to put this, but that's flat out false. Looking at my miles driven over the past month, 10 years of savings won't even get me half of the value of a Chevy Bolt.

> Crossing the Mojave seems easy enough to me.

LA to Vegas is trivial, since it's a major corridor for tourism.

Driving around Nevada is not. Vegas to Great Basin National Park (4.5 hours one way) and back only recently became possible* since Tesla released their CCS1 adapter. Unfortunately, the EV chargers that the state of Nevada has subsidized are only 50kW, which means 4.5 hours of driving requires 1h50m of charging.

* You could do it before if you drove below the speed limit to reduce aerodynamic drag, but you had to drive way out of the way through Utah, desperately hope that you don't consume more power than predicted, and probably get shot by angry drivers.
The same way it works out for ICE vehicles.

So what?

Battery costs are still falling and the typical cost of a battery in a mid range EV is about 6000 USD. For the battery to lose 30% of capacity, it takes 10 years. So your amortized cost (crude) for 10 years is about 400 USD per year.

I am sure the gas costs will be much more than that, compared to EV running costs.

Still a great deal.

Crypto is not a better alternative for customers. Crypto is a better alternative for merchants, but primarily because it generally protects merchants against fraud. There are other reasons, but mostly it's a result of credit card companies, banks, and regulations, rather than PayPal itself.

No one wants to actually be responsible for credit card processing, but they want to reap the rewards of it. So PayPal is what you get.

As a consumer though, until crypto offers a compelling reason for me to use, it's nothing but risk for me.
Does this bolster the argument for 2A?
I never understood what the problem with hybrid EVs was. They seem like the best of both worlds. Drastically improved gas mileage - competitive with the effective mpg of a full EV - but without the requirement to build superchargers everywhere (and add 30-60min stops on your longer trips)
Software like this _already_ exists. Credit bureaus, advertising firms, data brokers, skip trace databases, three-letter agencies across the globe, and nearly all of the Big Tech companies do their business building centralized profiles of basically everyone and that certainly includes correlating online identities.

The only difference here is that one is more limited and open source.

> Interesting - I don't see this as legally different to a bank charging overdraft fees, or a credit provider charging late fees, which I presume are possible in Europe?

Neither of those involve any kind of arbitrary decision related to speech by the bank.

The core of the matter is in the difference in between the civil law (descends from Napoleonic code) and common law (descends from Anglosaxon medieval common law):

In civil law, the contracts in between parties cannot override the law in any way. So if the law says that you cannot do any such thing like fining a customer based on what the person says (literally there is no law that allows that), then Paypal putting a clause in an agreement in between Paypal and the user does not mean sht. The law is the law. It does not allow such discriminatory behavior and it will not happen.

In common law, everything is a mess: Laws, statutes, precedents, interpretations, all enter the stage and make it a matter of whose coffers being more deep. Paypal may put such a clause in the agreement. And the user accepts it. This, may, or may not be binding on depending the relevant federal laws, state laws, statutes, precedents and other sht that may come into play. If there is not a specific law that forbids this and that law does not take action without explicitly being specified in the contract, Paypal may get away with this practice. IF, however, the user takes Paypal to court to 'challenge' that in court, gates to a whole hell of common law opens, as explained earlier. Again, it ends up being tied to whose coffer is deeper.

Hence the difference in the behaviors of US companies when dealing with the users in the US and the users in Europe and rest of the world.

...

TL:DR; Common law is a feudal, medieval mess that should have been left to fade in the annals of history a looong time ago...
> I've taken a course taught by him in the early mooc days that I really enjoyed.

I think I took the same one, but I remember Sebastian Thrun being the better instructor.
I read that the average range is closer to 250 miles. Taking an hour to charge is still too long for my preference. The images of long lines at charging stations during peak travel seasons give me anxiety. This will be solved, no doubt.

I also have no doubt charging technology will continue to improve. I will switch when it’s closer to 10 minutes to charge and chargers are everywhere.

I think its subjective to say which car is more fun to drive. It’s about preference. I had the most fun driving early 2000s v6 sports sedans that could do 0-60 in 6 seconds, compared to an EV that could do that in 4 seconds. Mainly due to the handling characteristics when cornering.

I’m not opposed to owning an EV. It just can’t be worse along the metrics I care about.
Does anyone have the original quote by Kent Beck handy?

I feel like this is one of those things that seems obvious but is a bit more deep than that.
In addition to what you said (conflating lab leak with various things), there's another factor: Early on, the people who were funding the gain-of-function research at WIV put out a statement that considering possibility of lab leak == racism, and some people are still following those orders.

There is no proof that it was or was not a lab leak, engineered or not, intentional or not. Whatever evidence there was has been destroyed.
We have now several examples of markets (California, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, Netherlands) that electric vehicle sales follow an S curve like you're predicting.

In a couple of years, I think China & India should make it clear if this will be the global play out as well.

You probably know things that the person you are replying to doesn't and arguing is futile.

Nonetheless, electric isn't so great if you have to pack generators to make it work. It defeats the purpose, right?

My comment up there was from the perspective of a long distance motorcycle traveler. When I look around, I see cars that are already packed: children on parents' knees, one child in the back, and luggage on top. A generator and fuel wouldn't be trivial to add to this.

Above all, it means that fueling up becomes something you can only do where you stop. It's no longer a five minute break, but a constant logistical issue.

I'm not saying that it's impossible, but it's a tough sell. Have you seen The Long Way Up? They attempt a Pan-American trip with electric bikes, and boy what a headache.
Having worked a lot on a 20+ year old code base I definitely appreciate your point. I think the time frame in the context the quote came from is more limited though with the point being that if you can delay an important design decision/lock-in till next sprint or month, do it.
Some concepts to think about:

local introspection: validating the validity and lifespan of a jwt by checking it cryptographically. does not need to make a network call, thus very fast and a great way to perform a low stakes operation.

remote introspection: validating the integrity and lifespan of a jwt by checking with the server that signed it and/or the server that issued the session. this should happen at least once per call flow, ideally as few times as possible but also every time sensitive information is accessed

if you have a heavy call graph, you can do local introspection on everything in the middle. and then, when you go to retrieve pii, do remote introspection.

if your token is appropriately short-lived (15 minutes), this means that an attacker can only yield information within that window with token scraping. that means that an attacker can only access data for as long as they have a foothold. i hope you have strong reporting and immutable architecture :)

> If you’re building a simple website like the ones described above, then your best bet is to stick with boring, simple, and secure server side sessions. Instead of storing a user ID inside of a JWT, then storing a JWT inside of a cookie: just store the user ID directly inside of the cookie and be done with it.

so basically, if your application is doing its own authn/authz (most monolithic applications), you don't need jwts.
This is a great book--it starts with JWZ (duct-tape programmer) and ends with Donald Knuth. (One theme that runs through the book is that nobody likes C++ and nobody uses debuggers.)

When I read that section, I wasn't really convinced. Not that programming is not quite different than it was way back when, but the difficulty that we face is that there is so much more software around. Some bad, some good. Many more useful tools.

For example, since I started programming the following innovations have significantly added to tools that we have to apply to programming:

* The C language. Much better than writing high-performance code in assembler.
* SQL. The power of SQL is extraordinary.
* Lots of disk space. Now we don't have to store our programs on punched cards.
* Extraordinary increase in memory.
* Networking, beyond dial-up connectivity.
* Other highly useful languages, such as Python
* Google, probably the top-used resources by programmers
* IDEs

The illusion that we are hampered by lots of choice is a bit illusory. Usually our programming environment is set not by our own individual choice, but often by the environment we plug into--by what resources we are going to access, and other team decisions.
I think the 6502 is a lot more like the PDP-8, except that it has variable-length instructions (interspersed opcode bytes and operands). Looking at my list above of RISC features:

- fixed-length instructions: no

- no microcode: the 6502's PLA amounts to fairly extensive microcode

- usually one instruction per clock: the 6502 doesn't come close to this, in part because of its microcoded execution approach. http://www.6502.org/tutorials/6502opcodes.html shows that different instructions take from 2 to 7 cycles, depending on the addressing mode.

- a load/store architecture (no memory operands to ALU instructions): because the 6502 has only one accumulator all its ALU instructions have memory operands, and generally several different addressing modes are available.

- pipelined execution: no.

- a large orthogonal general-purpose register set: no, although you can use the zero page as a register file (as on the PDP-8) you can't use data on it for addressing (unlike the PDP-8!) or ALU operations with anything except the A register.

So I think the 6502 is in every way at an opposite extreme from RISC. Which is not to say it's overcomplicated — it's an amazingly simple processor, actually, almost an order of magnitude smaller than the ARM 1 or any other RISC processor, roughly on par with the much more limited PDP/8 — but that the design tradeoffs it embodies are very different from RISC. They're not particularly similar to the systems the IBM 801 was designed in reaction to, either, except I guess that the 6502, like the IBM 360 and 370, is byte-addressed and supports both decimal and binary arithmetic; and the low-end S/360 Models 30 and 40 used an 8-bit ALU, like the 6502, but they hid it from the user: https://www.righto.com/2022/01/ibm360model50.html

How many of that 100k are driving 3-4 hours each way?

5 minute charging is a nothing burger. If they are tailgating for hours, they can do normal level 2 and get what they need.

5 minute charging is something that sounds like a good idea if you've never had an electric car, and are used to only charging at very specialized locations that you have to seek out and spend dedicated time at, ie gas stations. But after actually having an electric car, the idea becomes superfluous. Current charging speed is going to be just fine for 99-99.5% of those driving long distance to a football game.
