That only happens on color printers. It is called Machine Identification Code (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_Identification_Code).

Supposedly the reason is to trap currency counterfeiters.

Black and white printers do not add such dots.
Not the OP, but I've worked on a bunch of projects which use https://pre-commit.com/ that ties into git pre-commit hooks (or https://typicode.github.io/husky/#/ is another)

usually to run linters and validators, speeding up the feedback loop (otherwise it's annoying to push changes to a PR and then get a CI failure minutes later for trivial linting issue)
Yet, the original article specifically refers to the fact that hybrids seem to be more reliable on average than EVs currently. Might have something to do with the fact that the big Japanese powerhouses (Toyota, Honda and Mazda) haven't really spent any time developing high-power EV powertrains yet. But the atkinson-cycle and (relatively) small battery and elmotor combo has been around for 20 years and it's well honed in now.

The only reason Tesla drivetrains are reliable is because they've basically spent 10 years on developing not much else besides the drivetrain.
How can you characterize Twitter's current modus operandi under Musk as anything but "let's just ship it, we'll fix it later"? They're on iteration 5 or 6 of the checkmarks within the last week.

It is also possible he's just a lunatic who fired an innocent person.
Just want to point out this sounds more like a private->public pros and cons list. I’m not doubting it at all, just not sure if it’s due to the Montessori method. Most Montessori’s are or are operate similar to the private setting.
It seems to me that both of the books you cited actively promote not feeling guilt about what you seem to allege is grooming...wouldn't that undermine your argument? In fact, it seems that the more kids are armed with appropriate sexual education and--importantly--consent education, the less vulnerable they will be to sexual abuse. [0]

And perhaps you have been so blinded by your moral panic, but you appear to not have been reading my posts: I agree with you that texts like this should be restricted for younger kids. (I haven't stated this, but I vehemently disagree with outright bans that make them unavailable to all.) I merely contend that this is not in fact grooming or pedophilia, and that what the right is engaged in is yet another example of the moral panics they gin up to gain political power. (See: war on drugs, satanic panic, et. al.[1])

The right is weaponizing this panic, and ultimately conflating pedophilia with the LGBTQ community. See: countless anti-drag legislation, armed militias showing up at pride events, et. al.

The fact remains that most child predation happens by a person the child knows [2]

Basically to sum up: I agree with you on restricting the availability of books with sexually explicitly content in regards to young kids. I disagree with outright bans. Kids are sexually active creatures--whether anyone likes it or not. Lack of education about this topic leads to suboptimal outcomes: teen pregnancy, sexual violence, etc. These books don't strike me as grooming or pedophilia, and in fact, they seem to be the basis of a moral panic being used to gain political power.

One of my absolute favourite things is coming to HN to watch Musk fans do mental gymnastics in order to further lick the boot. This post though, this is an all time high. The judges are all holding up 10s for you.

It is a fact that almost half the US voting population is ready and willing to vote in somebody who would arrange never to leave office. Numerous billionaires support that outcome.

Elon's worldview of how an organization should be structured and run is vastly different than what I can glean about twitters culture. Could either of these types of cultures succeed? Probably. There isn't a definitive "one way" to succeed as an organization.

I think it remains to be seen if his other companies can be successful in the long term. Some may claim Tesla is but they haven't had to go through a car re-design yet [0] or face any serious competition. Once they navigate those for a few years it will be easier to understand if they are successful long term.

[0] tangent: all major car companies have to re-design their products every few years because in the US cars are status/part of identity and people get tired of seeing old designs and want new shiny things. Its irrational but it happens. There are compelling new designs of EV from other manufacturers, how Tesla responds once people are tired of the singular Tesla design and have other EV choices will be interesting.
I see billionaire individuals and organised charities as polar extremes of the same policy failure. Neither should exist, and when they do it should be as an ephemeral anomaly.

Any charity which fails to prioritise putting itself out of business is functionally a grift.

If society truly valued what charities do, their activities would be intrinsically valuable, and not require a special economic status to be conjured for them to be viable.
Johnson Space Center near Houston has one and it truly is an awesome thing to see.
There are a lot of things like this in the boltons library: https://boltons.readthedocs.io/en/latest/iterutils.html#bolt...

Business value for exact now and to how much it could improved in 2 working days if first is zero.

Imagine, you (co)owner of business, planning make sells on black Friday, sure you are not interested on coverage/traceability/etc, you need to proceed client requests, the more share of success, better, but anyway, 10% better than 0%, even if 0% code have 50% coverage and 10% code have 0% coverage.

I think I would love to work in an environment like you describe, but my one experience in an environment like this before was that people really emphasize working hard over working smart. (Also, if I'm not allowed to push back against management, that would be a deal breaker) I wonder what they do to stop and think of new approaches to work when everyone is tired all the time working 12 hours days. Often I find I can save 10's or hundreds of hours just from taking a break and thinking about the problem differently. Maybe I should interview to see what it's like out of the horses mouth and not rumors on the web, but my impression of the culture he is proposing is long hours for the vision, not because the work itself is engaging.
> One thing that can be said about Twitter, is it is really revealing of how people are, rather than how their PR teams try to view people.

This is extremely naive. Most people likely use their inner "PR team" when posting.
> The keyboard just works, sharing between apps just works. Keepass didn't really integrate with ios, in android I can select it as my own "autofill provider". I can have firefox with ublock.

Password managers work without any issues, I'm using Bitwarden happily.

Sharing between the apps is also a thing? I'm not sure what exactly do you mean but I have zero issues navigating, copying stuff between the apps, the only issue is with Google Photos when you remove them from local storage, as sharing in iOS won't detect those unless you manually download them again or share from within Google Photos. Learned to live with that.

I agree with lack of uBlock for Firefox, though new Safari has 'mods' and Hyperweb helps.

Keyboard is something I genuinely don't understand. How a company the size of Apple can make such a shit keyboard app is beyond me. It's nearly impossible to use if you speak two languages, their dictionaries are terrible and general feel is generally lackluster. I switched to GBoard which I like, even though Google doesn't care enough to fix few bugs and clear performance issues in it.

It's funny you call iOS UI inconsistent while most iOS apps are way better designed, actually adhere to styling guidelines and are much more intuitive to use once you get used to iOS gestures and behaviours. Unlike Android where it's literally wild west and Material Design changes so quickly that no sane developer is able to keep up with new 'redesigns'.

I switched from Android over a year ago as an ex-fanboy(I also worked as an Android Developer for a while) and I would never come back. Amount of shit that constantly goes wrong in Android ecosystem is baffling, while Google got ahold of permission system, insane battery degradation is still my main issue. Even though I loved my S9, barely a year in it wouldn't even hold a day on a single charge. Even after battery replacement, it just barely did. Android is so poorly optimized that background services can do practically anything they want. People learned how to work around Doze years ago, hell, I made commercial products that did exactly that. Apple's politic regarding background use is way more pro-user. The same thing happens to every Android phone I ever had, it works great for a year, then battery and overall performance goes to hell slowly over the next year, until it's just annoying to use.
I actually considered buying a Pixel device but Google is clearly too small of a company to offer their products in more than few countries and the amount of issues on release made me go with Apple. I'll pay premium if the thing just works and does what I want it to.
I’m helping to manage a Montessori preschool, so I’m immersed in Montessori at the moment.

There’s a pretty consistent underlying structure to the day, and the kids are taught to eg sit quietly for the class gathering (“circle time”), so I don’t think it’s accurate to say that the kids are taught no discipline. The periods that they’re asked to sit for aren’t very long, it’s preschool. But if you go an observe a class, they’re actually extremely well behaved. During their work cycles, they go and get their work, they sit individually to complete their work for a bit, then they return it to the shelf as they found it. And they’re learning relatively advanced reading, spelling, and math at 4.

One thing to be aware of is that many Montessori schools, especially nowadays, are “Montessori-inspired”, they don’t actually go through the effort (and the hiring requirements) it takes to be accredited by AMS. It’s more expensive to hire actual Montessori teachers, but the difference can be pretty incredible.
Paint issues can cause problems much more severe in consequence and more expensive to repair than an engine failure.

On the body, they may cause corrosion perforations and cause your vehicle to fail inspection. They may flake or peel and require expensive repainting. On structurally significant parts, a coating failure can do this:

> it wouldn't fit any common definition of web3.

To be clear, in my opinion, in summary, mastodon = "twitter without the centralised company", and
web3 = "useless crypto shit".

So I don't need or want mastodon to "fit" web3. I'm just pointing out that the above proposed definition of web3 can't be right, as it fits something that thankfully isn't and doesn't aspire to being web3.
It's true that it doesn't fit the common definition of web3 but that's because it doesn't involve blockchains. Since anyone can implement the protocol and use it without the permission of other users, it fits any common definition of decentralization.
It's even vendored!
I mean, Elon’s single biggest push at Twitter so far — ending the “lords and peasants system” by allowing anyone to get a blue check — is “politics and activism”.

Why not both? The only reason any movie exists, excluding amateur films, is to make money.

The only reason any product exists is to make money.

Something being made with money in mind doesn’t exclude its other properties. Apple makes iPhones to make money, but they make phone calls. Disney makes movies to make money, but they provide entertainment.
Years ago, I worked at a place that attempted this. They were so giddy about it. There wasn’t even a known leak, or, arguably, anything particularly worth leaking. They were just tickled by the idea that they could gotcha anyone who tried to leak something.

Then, as now, it strikes me as little more than sad and paranoid Tom Clancy cosplay.

I’d like to say I’ve moved on to a place with a culture of trust and faithfulness, but it doesn’t seem like anyone really trusts anyone anywhere anymore, and recent general infatuation with petty lords of chaos doesn’t seem to be helping.

So here we are, everyone fantasizing about espionage.
Methane emissions from incomplete burning, and also from upstream.

Methane emissions are an issue with basically all uses of gas that has been underestimated in the past and only in recent years it's more widely recognized how problematic that is. A lot of the "gas is greener than X" messaging from the past is simply no longer true if you consider methane emissions.
This is pure speculation - I have no prove.
I believe is also due to the target buyer: afaik the biggest adopters are municipalities and not general consumers.

I did Montessori between ages 6 and 15, then transitioned into more traditional education for the last three years.

The main difference was how much more challenging Montessori education was. The teachers really observed me and how I performed on assignments, and they could tell when I needed more of a challenge, and assign something to me that was just at the edge of what I was able to do. In the traditional education, if I consistently just did the bare minimum expected of everyone, I was a double-plus A plus student.

I was also allowed to explore subjects that interested me in greater depth, as long as it didn't come at the expense of subjects I found less interesting. I learned a lot of English and maths in the first few years!

If I had a disagreement with a Montessori teacher, we would sit down together and have a mature conversation about it and reach some sort of mutually beneficial solution (yes, even when I was under the age of 10!) In the more traditional education, there was the assumption that if I disagreed with the teacher, I was wrong and should shut up. (I ended up not passing a few classes in the traditional school because of disagreements with the teacher – I simply stopped attending the class at that point. Didn't seem productive to go on.)

I also had a lot more spare time in the Montessori school. As long as I did well on the work assigned to me and didn't bother my classmates, the teachers didn't really care how I spent my time. I could sit in a corner and read or do long multiplication, or go out and kick around a soccer ball. I would like to think this helped me learn independence.

On the other hand, I also have a notable lack of respect for authority figures. I like to think this is good, but it has also gotten me into trouble for disagreeing with hardline managers, refusing to do things I think are unethical, etc. I think some of this can be attributed to the Montessori school, where respect was based on fact, rational argument, and patient listening, rather than who should be commanding whom.
I refused to interview with Facebook on moral/ethical grounds, and I would do the same for any company owned by Musk.

Everybody draws their lines in different places, but he's far on the other side of mine.

I drive maybe 1500 miles per year and if I calculate in petrol usage for the next 10 years where a car wasn't produced for me, it will use less CO2 overall.

Since I live where the electric grid is already at the limit, my options to install a charger are limited as well. I could use 230V 16A to maybe charge it very slowly...

Batteries also degrade with age and we will have to see how a used car market will look like. I have a car for luxury only since my work is a few hundred meters away.

If you buy a new car anyway, an EV would be a good choice provided you have the means to charge it. Many people in the cities don't have that option. But it wouldn't be too helpful if you replace your current car just for the sake of it.
Anyone who still has any significant amount of money in any CEX, Coinbase included, is either not paying attention or irredeemably naive.

It's especially tiresome the fact that people keep pointing at these disasters claiming "crypto has failed", when reality is the exact opposite: CEXs are the exact antithesis of the core crypto idea of decentralizing trust. "Not your keys, not your coins" keeps being proven right.
I had the same experience and I was livid. I was 4 hours from home and had to rent a car to get back. It was out in a less populated area without a lot of options and it was a holiday weekend. I had such a hard time finding a car. Some less than reputable place ended up letting me take a slightly crashed car. It was the only thing left that could drive.

My car was towed to a Tesla service center and I had to pay like $400 for a new tire. Then I had to rent another car to go pick mine up a couple days later. I was ready to set the damn thing on fire by the end of it.

The lack of a spare tire isn't exclusive to EV's though. Most don't include a spare anymore.
No. What's happened is you didn't notice or retain any of it until he came out as right wing.
I watched Mudge's testimony to congress as well. Just because half the employees could access sensitive information, it does not mean that many did. Those who did funneled it to a few unless I missed a major online dump somewhere. Musk and others definitely have location history, DM's, relationships, and probably more that they could use against people.
My problem with assumption that you make is that you assume the billionaires came to their billions through some divine magic, and thus "a very few bad apples" can't spoil the bunch.

I start my line of thinking from the other end -- what kind of regulation and laws exist that can create exponential wealth for someone whose work output only ever scales linearly. The gap between single person's output produced and wealth generated is proof that our simple abstraction that "money is just a symbol proportional to one's contribution to society" breaks down at very large (and sometimes really tiny) scales. Effective altruism will never fix that because it presupposes the system where billionaires are created and exists comfortably. The alternative, of course, is taking a closer look at the system itself and making sure our abstraction of "money = effort given to society" functions properly at all scales.

>That makes sense, but I can't imagine that brake wear in particular moves the needle very much

It only matters if you're doing a TCO comparison that's time constrained to the first 100-150k where nothing expensive happens anyway. The difference between 2 vs 3 brake jobs or pad slaps vs pad slaps and rotors in that time will dominate the cost.
Teslas the majority? I always assume Tesla was a more luxury brand of EVs.

Is there any ranking of amount of EVs by brand sold to date?

AFAIR Nissan Leaf was selling quite well some time in Europe. And in 2022 I see BYD sold more vehicles than Tesla, but I can't find data for all the EVs sold in the past.

Not sure what we are talking about.

There are an absolute shit ton of battery factories being build. A huge ramp up in science and research.

There is also a huge ramp up in cathode and anode production facilities.

All major lithium companies have announced major build out of existing facilities and building new once as well.

A major expansion of both natural and synthetic graphite is being done.

Cobalt is not expanding as quickly but its getting systematically kicked out from the batteries anyway.

In addition to that, LFP batteries reduced the projected demand for nickel from batteries.

In addition to that CATL is introducing Sodium batteries as well.

So maybe you were not paying attention but there is a gigantic explosion in every part of the battery supply chain happening right now. With major private and public investment. There will still be some shortages of important materials, specially lithium however its certainty being worked on.

Of course there are also improvements in safety, reliability and so on. A huge amount of research and development.
