5 years ago, the most common EV on the road only went 84 miles to a charge and couldn't charge faster than about 45 kW. Today, you can get EVs with 500 mile ranges and charge at over 300 kW. By the mid-2030s when EVs are supposed to be the only thing on new car lots, they'll probably take less time to charge than pumping gas did.

I think you mean discussed, although looking at the tone of the thread you linked to you might not.
I tried to find the original source, I could not.

That being said, I have witnessed this non sense during my professional career, we had meeting discussing the need to hire woman or black people.

As an engineer I can't possibly agree to that. I want to work with engineers, problem solvers. I don't think Melatonin or the presence or absence of a vagina to be a useful metric.

That's also the reason I left the Western world for the foreseeable future. It's clearly impossible to focus long enough on a problem without being disturbed by the new shiny ideology of the moment.
I don't think that this is possible.

Toyota doesn't even sell a car in the US that you can buy for $20k. The cheapest Corolla is $20,425 but you can't actually buy it at that price in practice. EV's actually have a huge advantage in that you can make a car at nearly any price point you want by trading off range. For example in China the top selling EV is a $5000 EV made by Wuling[1] with a 75 mile range, they offer slightly higher trims for more range. For the majority of people who live in cities a 75-150 mile range small vehicle is good enough and for something like that you can build it for $5-10k easily.

The German Politicians learned nothing from history unless they studied at a clown school. The attitude is a disgrace, trying to blame issues on the public, not those who actually did these insane things to europe like raising rates, cutting taxes, and increasing spending while shutting down the economy and shaming anyone who speaks against this nonsense. I'm glad I live in Ohio.

You guys got to get the gas on. If you are not willing to swallow pride on this, at least prepare as best as you can. Buy blankets, heavy coats, snow suits. People live homeless all the time in conditions like this and you will have the elements in your homes.

I realize this puts a spotlight on me. But what is happening right now is not the public's fault other than gullibly going along with all these emergency powers. If people did learn from history they would know that emergency powers are never removed easily.
>Your policy says to make it expensive for Russia to annex further territory.

Yes, expensive such that they will determine the cost is greater than the expected benefit. Every semi-rational agent responds to incentives, even Putin.

Yes, Ukraine will lose territory under my policy. How much remains to be seen. It turns out we don't get to unilaterally dictate how nuclear powers execute their foreign policy, not without risking a nuclear exchange.

>We cannot let Russia do what it wants or it will continue to annex territory from countries.

So your policy literally is that we should ensure Russia loses in Ukraine, up to and including a direct nuclear exchange. Why do the hawks refuse to acknowledge the logical conclusion of their policy? Why not just own it?

> For evidence of this just see Moldova - Georgia - Chechnya - Ukraine (2014)

This isn't evidence that NATO demonstrating a massively increased cost to expansionist policy will not prevent further expansion. What the evidence shows is that no or lukewarm response to expansion, in conjunction with continued NATO expansion or interference, results in further Russian expansion. We haven't actually tried anything else.

The point is, Tesla choosing not to pursue the mass market is no reflection on how viable that market is. At Tesla volume, they are better off devoting their production capacity to the upmarket. The upmarket has better margins, so you sell there until you saturate demand.
Piss and moan. Piss and moan. If newer forms of activity can yield more money than traditional scut work jobs then pay more. People had two years to learn all sorts of things and that should have included management. Those that learned will move forward. Those that didn’t will wonder what to do with all those buggy whips.

People wanted boomers to go away and many did (you’re welcome). The older end of the workforce are taking the jobs that opened up. This, probably, drags the entire workforce up the ladder. So the problem is entry level and scut work. There are new things like Amazon warehouses and delivery services to siphon off these people. Birth-rates were also lower so there’s probably fewer candidates..

The remains of Kodak does make film today, albeit in fewer varieties than they once did, and with far less production capacity.

Any yes, people are all over it to the point that the most popular varieties can be difficult to find in stock, and prices have climbed significantly from a few years ago.
The eBook market is different, because its economics are different.

Piracy costs video producers (TV, movies) more because the cost of production is higher, they spend way more in marketing, and most importantly, their power to set licensing fees for that IP is greatly diminished.

Books for the most part are cheap for publishers to make and distribute; no one is getting $10m advances for a mansuscript. Yet they still charge $10 or more for the digital version!
There are some really odd design choices here. Barrel shape with large doors. That does not appear to be well thought out design. I’m really looking for either plans or prefabs that are well thought out and designed.

Oh, I misread _dain_'s comment. I thought they said The Rock was based on the dossier. Obviously, they meant it the other way round.

I remember the official reasons for attacking Iraq back then being obvious bullshit. But that might have just been a function of living in Germany where the media was against the war (because the German public was a against the war), so the media would give that impression anyway.
many (most?) kpop members are contractually required to adhere to the image built for them. There have been cases of a kpop member's storyline being around their love of someone and when the actor/actress is found to be cheating they lose the contract.

I know of one kpop member who attempted to keep their marriage a secret as a result.
The effort is already underway.

California's building code requires all residential and commercial buildings have EV chargers starting on January 1, 2023.

The national electric vehicle infrastructure program (NEVI) has $7 billion in funding from the infrastructure bill passed last year and just approved the charging station construction plans for all 50 states. Within a few years we'll have "fast charge" stations for EVs every 50 miles along nearly every highway in the nation.

EVs already made up more than 10% of global new car sales this summer. Market demand will mean that apartment buildings and condos will start putting in outlets for EV charging on their own otherwise they'll not be able to attract tenants pretty soon.
So Lula was still corrupt as all hell, it was just that he was convicted in the wrong court..
This is not true. These protests are unique because:

1. For the first time, people are also willing to be violent against the regime.

2. This is more geographically distributed than previous ones.

3. It's distributed among all classes now.

4. It has been going the longest, despite the violence of the regime.

I think this is definitely the first time since the Green Movement that the regime is really sensing existential threats.

One thing to people watching the news:

This is probably the biggest woman's rights movement in middle east history (or the world). I don't think Woman fought this hard for their freedoms anytime (Could be wrong though). Also probably the biggest secular movement in ME history.

> The cure for discrimination is forgiveness. The cure for violence is forgiveness. The cure for hatred is forgiveness.

> The only way anything stops is for people to have the humility and wisdom to say “this will stop with me.”

This is how I used to think. It’s reminiscent of the thinking of the Dalai Lama, Gandhi, John Lennon, and countless others who have had noble idealism which sadly isn’t congruous with reality. Here is a quote which demonstrates the logical endpoint of this idea:

> Hitler killed five million [sic] Jews. It is the greatest crime of our time. But the Jews should have offered themselves to the butcher’s knife. They should have thrown themselves into the sea from cliffs.....It would have aroused the world and the people of Germany.... As it is they succumbed anyway in their millions.[1]

That is the logical conclusion of this idea, take your own life in hopes you’ll posthumously be considered worthy of having been spared, and worthy of having anyone intervene to spare you. Because unilaterally, arbitrarily deciding to forgive a transgressor who’s still motivated by their transgression grants permission and submission to their goal.

There is historical precedent for a similar notion being more realistic and effective: Truth and Reconciliation in South Africa. But what makes it more realistic and more effective is that there was significant, forceful pressure which motivated the transgressors to seek mutual reconciliation. To some extent, they were also willing participants.

Personal anecdote time: like probably many here, I was bullied as a kid. It was a shockingly regular occurrence for me to be violently attacked, sometimes even by people I don’t think I’d ever interacted with before they were beating me. I had a timid and peaceful demeanor even when some of my family strongly encouraged me to defend myself. Eventually this led to a group of ~20 kids kicking me on the ground while I covered my head and neck and hoped to make it out alive. I was 13-14 years old, I had endured beatings on a lesser scale too many times to count. Of course I knew I couldn’t defend myself from 20 kids, so I took another beating. But the next time I got jumped, by one kid, I punched him straight in the face. I didn’t even know I had it in me to do, but instinct took over. Then I got up, saw the kid who attacked me was embarrassed but physically okay, and I walked away. That was the last time anyone ever laid hands on me outside a sporting context with established consent. Now I can forgive those kids, because they’ve stopped beating me.

I’m not sure why you’ve been downvoted but this is a very prevalent attitude at hazardous facilities that are run by contractors. In particular, when the hazards are relatively low probability events and there are perverse incentives to roll the dice in the name of productivity.

In a previous job in a hazardous facility, I’ve had very senior managers sit me down to tell me I don’t want to get the reputation for slowing things down by enforcing safety rules. I’m personally glad I’ve moved on with my career.

My favorite nuclear disaster! Criticality events.

I lived in Los Alamos for a while. I looked into renting a studio space. I became curious about the property across the street from my prospective rental which was surrounded by a chain link fence with green canvas. I researched and learned it was the site of an original Manhattan site waste dump which had, a few years prior, been enclosed with a negative pressure tent and cleaned up at a cost of 2-3 billion. Apparently the government had dumped an unknown quantity of high level nuclear waste there in an unlined pit in the dirt in the 40s. This led me to research the history of the area.

After a couple of months I figured out that my house in White Rock was about 3/4 of a mile from the current waste dump for the entire lab, known as TA-53 or MDA-C or something. They were in the process of excavating the three 200 foot deep pits of MDA-C - one for low level nuclear waste, one for transuranic (as they call “high level” these days) and one for classified waste. If I stood on my roof I could see the negative pressure tents surrounding them. My favorite non-classified project which was disposed of there was the “experimental high temperature plutonium reactor”, from the 90s.

The lab has some rather interesting history. There was no concept at all of safely disposing of anything or even recording what they dumped and where until the 60s. The first ever radioactive metal working facility, out on a ridge by the entrance to town (TA 21? 23?) dumped all of their wastewater directly into the canyon untreated. This has recently been cleaned up at a cost of several billion dollars also, and now they are building homes there. The heavy/radioactive metal plumes went down into the earth over 500 feet. In fact, all of the waste from the entire lab used to be dumped into a stream in the middle of town. They cleaned it up, opened it as a park (“Acid Canyon”), then after heavy rains found some barrels they missed which were determined to contain plutonium waste. Oops, cleaned that up some more and now it’s a nature preserve and hiking area. There are still untouched facilities from the 50s where Feynman worked on polonium experiments sitting a few hundred feet from the banks of the Rio Grande.

There was a power plant right on the edge of a native reservation neighboring the lab. According to the federal government, the plume of chromium contamination it left ends exactly on the property line of the lab to the reservation.

Everyone I met in Los Alamos had zero concerns about pollution having an impact on them.

no, instead 2nd hand ice cars have to work about a degraded and very expensive engine. an EV battery is likely to last somewhere around 200000 miles (https://www.consumerreports.org/hybrids-evs/evs-offer-big-sa...), and over that period require essentially no engine maintenance compared to gas cars which between oil changes, break pad replacement (which EVs avoid due to regenerative), and all the other things that can go wrong with an ICE have an extra roughly 500-700 per year of additional maintenance cost.
Near mint condition used EV's were readily available for $20k before the gas crisis.
Engine replacements are complicated. Many specific parts.

Battery replacements may be much easier to complete.
This is all correct, but kinda shifting timelines.

For example, if Kodak had been first to digital, that doesn't mean they'd have had to give up any film at all. And since they were first, they could have set margins where they liked. Whether it would have survived and thrived...who knows. As others have pointed out, computers weren't commonplace back then.

Digital cameras did get commoditized, nearly 30 years after Kodak had invented it. So obviously, by today they'd had to have move on. High end sensors, glass, heck even cloud computing, something akin to Google Photos... there's no telling where they could have been if they'd have leaned in early.

That said, you point out the sensor market is 15 billion today... and Sony has about half. This is way, way more money than Kodak makes anymore. Today Kodak is at about a billion revenue per year.
Yeah, why would Toyota want to go all in on EV and lose the ICU/Hybrid market lead that they worked so hard to accomplish? And ICU/Hybrid are still dominating sales worldwide. You see those who go all in EV are usually those brands with not much to lose (like Volvo).

It's not like they're not going in EV, they are just doing it at their pace (which is slow typical of Toyota).

Tesla already got the first mover advantage. Kia/Hyundai/Ford etc are fighting for second place. The gap between second and the rest won't be as large as Tesla vs second.

Depends on what kind of programming and at what point you're at.

Learning programming today is difficult because of context. Some kids don't even know what a file system is. The idea of an interpreter evaluating a text file doesn't click because what even is a text "file"?

Being an intermediate application developer I would argue is easier than before and possibly the best place to be in your career. Web Development with React and Angular turns front end development into a more complex excel-like experience. It's still programming, obviously, but the tools take a lot of the complexity out of it and a lack of experience has you blissfully ignorant of anti-patterns and a lack of testing.

Back end web developers have the best life (technologically speaking). Complete control of the runtime, any language they want to use and normally pretty straightforward implementations. Security and testing are often overlooked but that's okay.

Senior application developers hold so much context that they are often frustrated by the design decisions of the tools they use. "Why can't we all write web applications with Rust, except using JavaScript modules because Rust modules are terrible, but only once Web Assembly has access to the DOM - actually the web sucks and we should write native applications. I can't wait to retire."

Devops is both harder and easier. It's easier to build a scalable reliable system, but is harder to get started because, while a simple cloud VM is still available, you feel dirty if you haven't provisioned everything using some form of orchestration.

Desktop application developers are in the worst place possible. Microsoft doesn't even know what GUI API it wants to use. No one uses Apple's native Desktop API, Linux is.... anyway (don't flame, I love GTK4). The best option is Electron until everyone is using a single platform.

Mobile development is hard af, there are almost no engineers in the field and you need a PHD just to install Android studio and pick the right Android SDK.

All in all, I love it
The cost to get old-school retail software on the shelves would set you back far more than 30%, not to mention all the hassles involved in physical distribution.
Not only was it expensive, but it was a crazy time to buy a modem. There was also 16.8k and 19.2k, which were proprietary if I recall correctly. (I had a 19.2k modem, and was overjoyed when I found a BBS that I could connect to at that speed.) Around that time you also had 28.8k and 33.6k, which I think were standardized by were incredibly short lived.

I remember sticking to what was effectively 14.4k until I jumped to cable internet. It did not make much sense to upgrade since ISP rates were lower for slower modems and serial modems were also more expensive. When I did jump to cable internet, I took some flak because of my obsolete computers. I was far happier with an always-on connection on an obsolete *ix box than dial-up on a faster PC (since I didn't have the money to have both at the time).

That would depend on whether they read the flow chart before or after coming to a decision. But I think it would almost always be an either/or, not both:

It would seem a little unethical to fire someone after they fried themselves & thereby performed a great service, making the next generation of techs much more likely to keep themselves both in the gene pool & lifelong contributors to scientific knowledge through their career.

Consider those fried persons & object lessons to be sort of the “Leeroy Jenkins” of their profession.
