>There are a lot of tractors that use diesel and gasoline. Mine is a 1947, still runs like a champ. I've wanted an EV tractor but with each generation of new vehicle, more and more hostile features are added.

Build one then. How much hp/kw is in your tractor? Cant be much. DC motor + batteries + controller. Practically drop it in and all you might need to do is an engine mount.

>Batteries are a topic in and of themselves. Batteries are evolving every few years and yet newer vehicles are being designed to take proprietary battery packs and this is only becoming more vendor locked-in with time.

Obviously he's being a bit ridiculous with his build but ev conversions are totally doable. If you have the know-how to keep a 47 tractor going you have plenty of know-how to do an ev conversion.

In terms of batteries. Always your last purchase when doing the conversion. They are constantly cheaper.

>I also looked into getting a mid-sized EV excavator. Same as everything above. Nothing but owner-hostile features. In my obstinate view, the market is tone deaf and not appealing to the right people. Backing my view I have not seen any construction workers using EV rigs and vendors won't even list prices yet. I had to call them. The only change I have witnessed is smaller 2-stroke engines going electric like chainsaws, some yard maintenance equipment that used to be gasoline, etc...

This weekend I was talking to same idea. "My combine needs to be able to operate nonstop to get the corn/wheat/whatever off in time."

So do you need a really large battery pack or do you mount 5kw of solar to the roof of the combine up high so it can rotate toward the sun? What's the cost of such a beast?

>The only change I have witnessed is smaller 2-stroke engines going electric like chainsaws, some yard maintenance equipment that used to be gasoline, etc...

Oh man, my very first one years ago was a weed wiper. The lack of shaking your hands to hell is a godsend. Now you also have robotic lawn mowers that just doo that all for you. Only possible as an ev.

>So perhaps gasoline will be gone in 50 years but I forsee many growing pains in this market and predict blackhat hackers will have to rescue some of the equipment owners, assuming the concept of owning hardware is still a thing. If the concept of ownership vanishes then I expect something better than they existing rental process. e.g. I press a button and the hardware shows up, I use it, then press a button and the hardware goes home and I only pay for the minutes used.

The beauty of capitalism. You could build your own first and potentially spawn a lucrative business for about a year or 2. Then Deere will come in with go-away money and you can go back to your original fun.
I would agree that it doesn’t have a fixed interest rate. But you might say it has a variable interest rate. The trick is to accurately gauge the true interest rate and only work on the technical debt that costs you over time. The real tricky technical debt is the one that has a small cost, but accrues frequently.

At any given time it is easy to tell yourself “this doesn’t cost much and would take me 10 times as long to rewrite than to just make this quick fix”. But if you (or more likely other people) have to keep paying that cost dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of times in the future, then the right decision is to schedule some time to take care of the debt.

The difference is that wifi has zero marginal cost and a modest fixed cost (ie. $100 for a decent router), whereas EV charging has a high marginal cost (30 cents) and high fixed cost (few thousand dollars for a charger).
The upper limit of the velocity of the explosions is stated as 5600 mph, which is 2500 m/s, and less than the 3000 m/s exhaust velocity on a Falcon 9 engine. Why is this useful?
Again I ask, what option? Let's discuss. See, if there was national unity and the rich saw everyone else as their own kind and everyone else saw the rich in the same way things might actually improve.

Of course you have on the extreme mainstream politicians who advocate for simply taking away rich people's money or how billionaires shouldn't exist. As if no one raised them to lnow taking others stuff for no reason is theft and wrong.

Criticizing someones methods of activism is always kinda a joke to me. If you care, and think you have a better way to win people over - MAKE YOUR CASE - don’t tell others they’re doing it wrong and if they just said the right words you’d get on board and help.

The scientist making a religious argument, when they didn’t believe it, is just as easily dismissed as the scientist making the science argument. Turns out you need pastors and religious leaders and conservatives to make those arguments to conservatives. Why aren’t they? You tell me - i’d guess that a few do and the audience would rather hear other things - plus all the nice oil money goes to media that pitches climate denial messages
A huge % of Americans live in home with garages though. Even if that’s all we get to adopt EV, that’s huge.
Mostly, though it could be used to dissuade that person from repeat offense, AND/OR to dissuade others from committing that offense, AND/OR as a retribution for the act.

An example of the 2nd one would be the death penalty, there is no 'corrective' behavior option for the person, cause they be dead. This is usually marketed as a deterrent for others, however studies have shown this rarely works. Most often severe punishments like death more appropriately fall under the 3rd case above.

This, and all the sibling comments, is just sad.

Not only are you happy to never challenge current power in any meaningful way, but you are sure you never will be. If there is a revolution tomorrow and the Trumpists are in charge, or the Marxists, or the Russians or whatever, you're still sure you will be fine with that order too and will never rock the boat.

You're also confident that if you do nothing wrong by them you have nothing to worry about.

Instead, you've been taught to fear the weak, the nobodies. The nameless savage in the night. As if they have any more reason to hate you than the powerful have.
I agree with that, I don't think the general internet public is savvy enough to go search for an alternative. But I hope they will.
At the time, it was a common talking point that Firefox never got beyond 25% market share. I’m not sure why statcounter has questionable data for that period.

Here’s a Mozilla blog post from 2009 celebrating hitting 25%:

https://blog.mozilla.org/metrics/2009/11/09/firefox-hits-25-...

That was the highest point.
I would tend to agree, if those risks are formally communicated and accepted. If they don't accept those risks, the employer is still legally bound to provide a safe working environment. What you see in many of the higher injury-rate industries is that the injuries are often traced back to a lack of diligence in that responsibility. What I've seen in practice is that risks are often downplayed due to cognitive biases or outright gaslighting. What tends to happen is that people want to either 1) push the risk down to a different person, who may not be in a position to either understand or accept that risk or 2) informally accept that risk so that if something goes wrong they have plausible deniability. This gives them all the productivity upside with none of the responsibility.

I don't think most people assume laws create rights (at least, those of the inalienable variety) but they create a framework to protect those rights. That framework is what allows people to objectively determine the safety of workplace and are relevant. In the case of something like OSHA, that framework gives the employee grounds to rebalance the power dynamic with management in terms of understanding and mitigating that risk. Sometimes I think HN is so skewed towards tech that many are unable to understand that people in other jobs don't necessarily have the same leverage with their employers. Laws help ensure they are still protected.
One of the things I love from this post is the collaboration on this kind of OSS projects.

- Providing a great deep-dive article that will trigger new ideas in the future

- Showcase the possibilities of Wasm and how you can overcome the current challenges

I really appreciate these projects are OSS :)

Congratulations for the project!

Well, there isn'a direct quote where he said this but it's pretty close.

https://www.birgun.net/haber/erdogan-bir-musluman-olarak-nas...

this headline is the closest thing in it he says:
'... and they are complaining about cutting the interest rates. Don't expect anything different from me. As a muslim, I'll continue doing what the religion/quran orders me to do. This is the ruling (of the religion).'
His problem is aphasia, not dementia. Aphasia makes it difficult to recall words and for him made giving his lines impossible.
something like this is happening on a daily basis in California, along the routes of major power lines. Tree contractors under the supervision of dot-mil cut well past their allotted areas. Once it is done, no arguing can fix it. The documentation of this is considered classified in some cases since the power lines are certainly critical infrastructure.

Awake and aware people may howl and writhe more, except that the backdrop here is catastrophic wildfire, which also destroys irrevocably .. (catastrophic has a technical meaning in that context). Things really are grim in many forests at this time in history.

hmmm, just opened Strawberry in Heaptrack. Here it uses 46 megabytes at most. 20 megabytes of those are icons it seems, and 5 megabytes seem to be some kerfuffle with Qt's stylesheets which don't seem to be super optimized (although I wouldn't be surprised if it's image loading here too).
How does one go about getting such numbers? Do a web search for "$BANK_NAME virtual credit card number"?
Thanks for the clarification! I figure if someone is curious enough + looks up links on their own, giving them a good answer is only fair. :)

I’m a software engineer with experience developing serverless, resilient, and efficient cloud applications. I recently built Seymour (https://seymour-active-monitoring.github.io/), an open-source active monitoring solution for testing API endpoints that is deployed to AWS. Prior to this I founded and grew businesses in the foodservice space, one of which was a franchise across 14 states.

I love learning and have a diverse background in a lot of other little things as well so let me know what you want to do and I would be happy to jump in!
As a northern British Columbia some of what you were saying makes sense. The provincial government has also just recently put in deferrals that very possibly could lead to about half of the mill shutting down.

If old growth was as you to defined it, I think nobody would be chopping it down, but as it sits for forest to be considered old gross it only needs to have one tree per hectare over a certain size. in much of the area up here second growth from the early 20th century is even being considered old growth. The restrictions were primarily put in place for coastal old growth which is closer to your definition.

From what I have seen, primary logging always goes to the Mills first since they are willing to pay more money.
How would you know it's not a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Have you considered that giving the talk and installing the idea that "cops are your enemy" might cause your kids to run away or resist the police, thus unnecessarily escalating what could be a perfectly civil interaction?

That number is incorrect, per Mozilla:

https://blog.mozilla.org/metrics/2009/11/09/firefox-hits-25-...

The peak was 25%.
This is really impressive!

I've been following Materialize as their blog posts are a great source of inspiration when working on OctoSQL[0] (a CLI SQL dataflow engine), but was a bit surprised with how few data sources they were supporting (basically Kafka and Postgres based on their docs), but now that they're switching/pivoting to being a database themselves, this makes much more sense.

I also think the architecture is really cool. Cloud-native is the way to go for modern databases and will make adoption much easier than something you'd have to host on bare metal. One question though, does this mean the open-source version is basically deprecated now and further development is closed-source, or does the open-source project represent the "compute" part of the "next gen Materialize"?

Congrats and good luck with further development!

I think their growth numbers would have looked much differently if they had transparently disclosed the reality on their login form from day one:

“Plaid will store your plaintext password and use it to periodically access your bank account.”

Burying truth deep in a TOS is seen by some as deceptive.
It would have been funnier if they used privacy.org.

I never expected them to provide any privacy of any sort, but I don’t think they could make matters worse. Privacy.com has been extremely convenient for me, private or otherwise.

I wonder how things might have turned out differently had we not immediately betrayed them after WWII.

Without constant threat of annihilation, they could have diverted funds away from military spending and towards productive uses, possibly also loosening their grip on power. It didn't help that non-authoritarian left governments, sometimes as mild as Bernie Sanders, were easily overthrown by the CIA.
Honestly, yes, and it would have been, like all other country names, except it’s barely used so it hasn’t been.

Those micro-chips exist on all knives through all kinds of cutting.

VG10 just is designed for those chips to sustain the sharpness of the knife, so it requires less sharpening. You can look at the ends of any knife that's been worn away, and its not as smooth as when it was originally sharpened.

The knife's edge is the thinnest part of steel, and may only be a few atoms thick when properly sharpened. It doesn't take much for it to chip off.
Even if it would be easy only pay per conversion, you would create a different type of perverse incentive in which ad platforms would exclusively want to target consumers their models attach a high preexisting (before exposure to ads) probability of conversion. That is OK for lower funnel tactics but it would severely reduce your ability to put your brand in front of a new audience.

At this point, the proxy is necessary because all the major browsers block direct TCP/IP traffic. They allow websocket connections so that's how we're getting around it.

There have been proposals to open up TCP/IP traffic but they've all been shot down so for the security implications.
Right now. But this problem existed a year ago, two years ago - it’s actually existed for decades.

Not doing anything real about it for those decades, and then blaming russia for your inaction for the past 30-40 years? Classy move.

Edit: re-reading this it comes off as a personal attack, which was not my intent - the “you” i’m speaking of is european nations - not the commenter i replied to
You'll come across them randomly in places you'd never expect. The problem still exists though.

1) Unless your trip is relatively short, you'll probably need to charge between your home and the hotel.

2) What happens when there's 4 EV parking spots at your hotel and 5 (or more) guests show up at a hotel with EVs? Are people willing to spend their vacations stressing out over getting one of those spots?

Personally, I think EVs only work as a toy for the rich and mass-adoption currently involves too many problems for average people that cannot be resolved anytime soon.
> Tesla is aimming for a 20K

Yeah, well, good number to use for marketing. Outside of that domain, this is an absolute fantasy.

Think of it this way: A humanoid is easily one order of magnitude, if not two, more complex than a motorcycle. It's certainly at least two orders of magnitude more difficult and capital intensive to design. A new motorcycle sells for $15K to $20K. Using that as a ROM (rough order of magnitude), you'd expect a reasonably capable humanoid to go for more than $150K at a minimum.

My guess is you are looking at $250K to $500K as the baseline range for a working humanoid for the next ten to twenty years. I can't see them becoming capable enough to achieve mass production scales for a decade or two. At that point you might be able to start approaching manufacturing scales in the thousands of units per month.

When you can open the box, turn it it on, tell it to go clean the house, take the dog for a walk and cook dinner, well, at that point we are talking millions of units per year, tens of millions maybe. That's a long way out.
