so 50cc is "small" moped ?

>This brake layout again confirms that the bike is intended to fit the “50cc” moped category, with a top speed of 28 mph and no more than 4kW of power;

for comparison, i have been using an hero electric "optima" bought exactly 3 years ago which has a motor of 250 watts and battery of 1kwh.

here is an updated version of this.it is still the same insides.

here is my actual usage pattern.
180Kg weight limit and i have consistently pulled 210Kg+ on this.

the battery has severely degraded to a point my first Km range was 50km while today i can only manage 20.

i have used this machine in rain, snow, sun and all the 6 seasons of the valley and has performed admirably.

plus the cost is also around $1000 or less so i don't really see why anyone would need anything more?

sure if you need high speeds and all, you can buy high speed versions
It’s mostly about protecting from a pandemic. China doesn’t have enough completed vaccinations for them to let it rip even if they wanted to, nor was their vaccine as good as ours.

And of course, just because you think long covid isn’t worth the risk doesn’t mean they agree.
I remember that there of course were efforts to adorn jails / zones with an easy Docker-like UX. I hope this effort continues and will result (or has resulted without me knowing!) in a great and simple developer experience.
Circa 2017 when IE8 compatibility was still a thing, I saw a metric that said more people use screen readers and/or have poor enough vision to need some sort of UI accomodation than there were IE8 users

Some very brief googling suggests about 3% of Americans are visually disabled. Having a team ensure your product is available to an extra 3% of people seems like a potentially reasonable investment.
They touch on wildly different genres and target a different public IMO.

SAO’s main point is to have people take VR seriously. The author touched on it in his previous series (Accelworld), but it didn’t resonate as much, so he kinda repackaged it to reach the same conclusion after 4+ arcs of novels/ anime.

Log Horizon feels to me less about VR and more like a sheer isekai, not unlike the many “I reincarnated into this dating sim as the villainess” kind of series we are getting in troves now.
If the data shows that, why not include it in the article, rather than hand waving with "back in my day"?
Well the heating with gas is cheaper than with electrics in most places.

So it is "heat your house by X at price of the gas heating" vs "heat your house by X at price of electric heating". And the price of old school resistive heating, not the more efficient heat pump.

So what percentage of budget from, say, the UC system went to administration forty years ago vs today? My point was that this should be public data, yes, surprisingly, is not mentioned.

Per https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d21/tables/dt21_334.30.a..., after two minutes of googling, if I am reading correctly, the percentage spent by four year institutions on “academic support”, which includes admissions, has remained at about 8% from 2000 to 2020. That seems like a basic statistic Silvergate should have on hand, and one that invalidates his hypothesis, right?

I wonder how long it will take for the technology to reach the point where it’s used for performance enhancement in sports. For example, if these red blood cells can hold a bit more oxygen, that’s an advantage for an endurance athlete.

> I have no idea why the hardware/software industry all focused on the linux kernel

I'll die mad about it.

So many in the OSS community applaud vendors for upstreaming a driver to the Linux kernel even though they haven't given any basic form of documentation. Not only is this a massive pain if you happen to work on a project that isn't GPL compatible (back to square one, legally required to clean room implement the algorithm if you want to work with Linux source), but you still have no idea how the device actually works and what the sharp edges are (good luck writing bug fixes!). It's utterly baffling that people have generally accepted Linux as if it is the only FOSS kernel that anyone should ever care about.

The bad part of company towns was that they didn’t pay you in normally accepted currency. It’s not the part where they gave you housing.

Japanese companies also own worker housing, sometimes even owning the CEO’s house (as a way of making his wages look lower). Some of them are also abusive, doesn’t mean they all are.

Plan A is traditional. Part of that is that I'm targeting middle grade with my first book (that is, ages 9-12), and it's honestly not obvious to me how much of a market exists for self-published books in that demographic. I'm still doing my research, but so far all of the self-publishing success stories I'm aware of are either in adult, or are a traditional author going indie rather than the other way around.

Having said that, I have helped other people (mostly family members) self-publish their books and it is very doable, depending on what your goals are. In those cases, we were never aiming to make money, so we were more than happy with the results we got.
Either that or they put in their own retail. It's no coincidence that Tokyu, Keio and Hankyu all operate their own supermarkets and stores throughout Japan's rail network.
The IRA was a fairly tepid bill (eg the cheaper medicines were very limited in scope and don't come into effect for several years) but the 15% minimum corporate tax rate was one of the less talked about but more impactful measures.

How do I know this? Because of all the resistance that particular measure got from many lawmakers.

So why is that impactful with the corporate tax being lowered to 21% in the Trump administration? 15% is less than 21% so it shouldn't matter right? But it does because the 2017 tax cuts effectively (in a complicated fashion) mostly gave a permanent amnesty on offshored profits. Previously, any repatriated profits were subject to the (then) 35% corporate tax rate. That bill ended that treatment. The replacement was more complicated and a much lower effeective tax rate.

So the 15% minimum actually hits companies who are currently paying less than that on foreign income. It's a good measure.

My comment however was referring to far stronger and likely temporarly measures, such as a windfall corporate tax of, say, 60% (or even higher).

Somewhat, but a lot is just diversifying away from China.
Electric mopeds are an extremely well established market overseas. In China both annual production and ownership have been higher than cars every year for the last 15 years!
I’m in the UK, and I can’t say your description rings true to me at all. There are some fans who passionately defend their tribe while attacking the other, but most people couldn’t care less either way. I believe it’s similar in the US.

Not sure I agree. A generation or two is eons in tech. In that timeframe there will likely be another massive paradigm shift that totally washes away today’s thinking about phones, communication, etc.
Some of it was an accounting loss as I understand it. Eg last year they lost $200m-ish, but $600m of that was stock-based compensation. So they were cash flow positive.

Of course taking a company private means you can't use the market to pay your employees...
Engaging in unethical activity isn't conduct becoming a US Representative. Using the information you have to profit off the economy at the expense of it's citizens is unethical and immoral.

That's what crooked means. Not just corrupt.
>And this is with great pay and perks

How do you know the pay was great? Because you were offering twice what existing employees make, as one does?

And as far as "great perks", does that mean healthcare with almost no out-of-pocket costs and a leave policy that is attractive to people who want to have a family, or does it mean a foosball table and free k-cups?
> IMHO often the purpose of these projects isn’t to deliver transportation, it’s to keep people employed in the project.

Bingo!

Another element of this is to use such projects to buy the votes of the large unions.

Just a couple of months ago these crews came through our street. They ripped-up the PERFECTLY GOOD sidewalks and rebuilt them. This street is 24 years old. In other words, it's new. Oh, yes, they repaved it once about a year ago.

The guys ripping-up the sidewalk told me they are going to rip-up the street and repave it next year.

This is criminal.

Revisiting a controversial question, looking for honest feed back not shaming
A year and a half ago I posed the question should I get the vaccine? After sifting through the hyperbole from both sides, I made the decision to get vaccinated, in no small part to the people on this forum that had a greater technical knowledge of how mRNA works and the time it would take to clear my system.

My government agency is once again reaching out to me to get a booster and I feel it is time to revisit this question.

On one side I feel like "In for an Inch in for a Mile" and "Who would the government really want to keep alive? The ones that get the jab or the squeaky wheels?" but in the recent past, there have been several revelations of how the vaccine discussion and it's efficacy was corrupted by big tech censorship and government politicization of corporate(and Public)media, our leader even made a joke about bribing them with 600 million dollars!(IMHO that was worse than joking about a gun in the airport security line, especially a handgun!!!)

I wish I could trust my government but over the last few years there are so many examples of at the best a misinformed leadership and at the worst an incompetent and willing to misinform me from my current government, and the controversies started just weeks after they were elected. (I am sorry if my thoughts are unacceptable Justin and please don't freeze my bank account Kristia!)

So please be kind and don't interpret this as anything other than an;

Overweight, High blood pressure, 50ish year old smoker and drinker that is still concerned with taking my 4th shot even though I am the posterchild for Covid death.

Thankyou for taking the time to read my question, I look forward to your opinions, thoughts.

Some things I have not been able to find the answers to:

Has the virus mutated to a less deadly strain? (It is my understanding this is a common trait of "pandemical" virial diseases.)

Has there been any determination of: The truth regarding the sudden cardiac deaths of young males and if so is there any information on how the vaccine is related to this situation?

Finally, I have seen some very partisan videos showing people having facial paralyses and in particular difficulty opening one of their eyes.
Is this just BS or has there been any reputable studies done on this matter?

I am concerned that these questions and possibly many other more important questions and studies have not been done due to the stigma and possible cancelation of reputable individuals for asking and or answering these questions honestly.
1. Anecdotally these layoffs seem to have affected mostly non-technical roles.

2. The US produces 65,000 [1] CS graduates each year. This doesn't include immigration and people who go into tech having graduated with non-CS degrees.

The layoffs are significant in their local context but I wouldn't think they're large enough to perceptibly affect much on the ground for SWEs.

Funnily enough, I've heard that SAO devolves into harem anime status.

RT could be considered useful to some as you can use it as a noisy barometer for russian sentiment. When you operate at a level where geopolitics are a concern to your activities, such an input could be useful. Elon parroting russian talking points is another matter, but he went a step further and talked to Putin directly.
Athletes already do this - they collect their own blood and store it and then transfuse themselves to supranormal levels prior to their sporting event. Lance Armstrong did this.

Lab grown blood would make this a bit more convenient, albeit at astronomical cost.
I don’t know if I’m qualified as a father of three.

The most important point to raise children from my POV and experience is: mimétisme.

The very efficient way to teach or train them to adopt habit or behaviour is by personating yourself what you want them to be.

Children are copying what you are more than what you do.

Want them to love book ? Don’t buy them book and keep watching tv, play in front computer, or frenetically scroll your mobile. Just be a reader in front of them.

Want them to be curious, just be curious yourself… want them to clean and order their room, just clean your mess and order the house.

It’a all about that Your behaviour is the most important.

Leadership is not about enforcing things to other. But being the living example of the behaviour you want them to adopt.

Another important point from my POV, is learning and emotional context of the learning.

The more relaxed is the emotional context, the easier the learning will be easy and the skills will be able to be reused with ease in the futur.

Each time you use a skill in your life, your body also bring back the emotional context of the time of skill learning.

Learning is joy, not pain, not stress, not tension. And they start learning and never stop from the moment they are out of the mother’s belly.

It’s your responsability as a parent to enforce a relaxed and joyful environment in your house.

I could say far more, but I will stop here and wish you the best of luck. Congratulation for you and your wife being a parents.

For the first three years, I cannot recommend anything else than reading and practicing what explain this book : https://www.gentlerevolution.com/products/how-smart-is-your-...

I prefer the model of making it properly free and opensource, but charging money for precompiled binaries and a support contract.

I'd add a simple startup banner saying "This program is UNSUPPORTED by @rui314. For a paid supported version, contact foo@bar.com".

The paid support would entitle one access to a forum of other paid support users, where bugs and feature requests can be posted and rui might prioritize them over regular bugs.
Diets do work, but you have to pick the right one for your situation. You need to understand why it works, and actually stick to it. If you have other sources of stress in your life that could knock you off your path, try to fix them! No aspect of your life is entirely unrelated to another.

I don't know if this will work for you, but here's my experience:

I started on the Atkins diet in 2009 and lost 45 lbs. I was taking my second semester of biochemistry at university at the time, and I discovered the work of Dr. Robert Lusting, and his now-famous "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" lecture at UCSF on YouTube. Then I brought back carbs but decided on principle to refuse to eat anything containing even trace amounts of fructose ever again. I read every label and vet every restaurant before I trust their food. I only eat once a day, and it is always dinner.

I have not had even a slice of birthday cake made with sugar! I was on a flight earlier this year, and they gave me a tonic water instead of a sparkling water. The taste of sugar was awful and I spit it out involuntarily.

I think my rule works because fructose is still by far the biggest problem with processed food. Fructose makes you hungrier than you should be because it messes with hormones that regulate appetite. Pot gives me the munchies while also robbing me of clarity, and alcohol is directly fattening, so I try my best to avoid those things as well.

I have never regained those 45 lbs after shedding them. I am now 42 years old.
I flagged this because HN isn't a safe or appropriate place to seek individual medical advice. Talk to a board-certified doctor.
This sort of thing is why I need a shed... sigh

A "one life in game per player" might be fun, though (or at least, one per multi-year game reset or something like that). Would be hard to do without something like Worldcoin's infrastructure underneath, but a sufficiently expensive piece of hardware it's tied to might be enough to make it fun.
If all you use your phone for is browsing websites and checking email, you can get a cheap chinese android for half the price that does all of that just fine.
That does help a bit.

Do companies provide such benefits directly in the US, or at least in certain areas? In cities I'm familiar with, childcare services are a personal choice, even if there is a daycare in your office building.

I do have some ideas and approaches, if you might want to connect I'd be happy to chat.
There’s no rule saying that happens. Most likely for earlier pandemics, it’s us that changed to make it less dangerous, by dying until we evolved past it.
These capabilities (not at that scale but still) were more common in more places in the 90's. Things like computers, phones, TVs, audio equipment, appliances, cars etc. etc. were not made in China back then. Definitely somewhat smaller scale though, there's a lot more consumers around these days.

Even today- I'm not in a real tech hub by any means but there are many injection molding places within a drive distance from me. There are also plenty of machine shops with CNCs. In the industrial area near where I live there are some major car parts manufacturers, they build yachts and more. Again, this isn't a major tech hub but you can probably make anything here, it's just gonna be very expensive.

I've heard a lot about Chinese manufacturing and I do get what you're saying. Yes it's pretty amazing today (which isn't just because of China's entrepreneurs, it's also western entrepreneurs helping create this ecosystem).
But I think it's not impossible to replicate. It wouldn't be the same, we can move things relatively easily in North America, we don't need one dense city that does everything with workers living in factories. But we do need a lot more automation to replace humans.

I've never seen manufacturing in China in person but I have seen large scale manufacturing in Taiwan. A lot of that was designed/built by western companies.

In terms of costs ofcourse they're lower when you pay people less, when the living conditions are worse, when there's no worker protection, environmental or health and safety requirements...

While I'm rambling ;) another thing that we need to consider is just making better quality goods that last longer. Then "cheap" is less of a factor.
