To clarify, yeah, the yellow "70f" bars are just completely wrong, at least from the Teslas I'm familiar with.

It claims a Long Range Model 3 like we have (310mi range) gets 215 miles, a 100kWh Model S about the same, and a 75kWh Model X barely over 150.

They don't list the methodology for the yellow bar, but since it's not experimental (they're comparing estimated and actual winter range with the dotted blue vs solid blue bars), presumably the yellow should be rated range, not tested range.

EDIT: Oh, now I see. If you scroll down to the car, they are, in fact, testing real world range at all temps. Claiming a long range model 3 gets 60% of its rated range at 70f is a bit mind-boggling, though. Ours has over 70,000 miles on it and while a full charge is now rated at more like 290mi, you'll certainly get over 200, even at 80mph.

There are many extremely awful things that have been normalized in SF that are not normal in most (all?) large American cities. For example:

Mentally ill people in high-traffic areas that openly use drugs and defecate on the sidewalk.

High chance of having your car window smashed and car contents stolen.

Retail stores putting ever more items behind lock and key.

Women feeling unsafe walking alone in many areas of the city after dark.

Public parks full of criminal element that make walking through it a high-stress, high-alert situation.

All of this results in a high level of general anxiety and makes it an unpleasant place to live or even visit. Anyone who still lives in SF, I feel extremely bad that this is your life. It’s extremely sad.
Winter tire (if you have them) and heating are the likely culprits!
> Not quite. Bank cards can be revoked after unsuccessful attempts while doing that with usernames is problematic.

The same happens with websites, have you never been locked out of a website (or had your IP temp banned) for failing too many login attempts?

Again, the reason that bank cards only require a PIN from you is that _the card_ provides the other half of the credentials.

If a bank card simply contained the equivalent of a username (say your legal name and address), then it would not use just a PIN.

No, it's subtly harder than that. It's not that some clients will get a better experience than others, it's that in an environment of widespread reliability issues, browsers and other TLS clients will need to develop a downgrade protocol to handle the cases where DNSSEC lookups don't work. That downgrade protocol will inevitably break, like every other cryptographic downgrade ever tried.

By way of example: until a year or two ago, the last great hope of DANE was on stapled DANE records as a TLS handshake extension. No DNS lookups would even be required. But then, years into the project, somebody realized that attackers would just be able to strip those extensions off of handshakes. The only thing that prevented the attack was the Web PKI roots of trust --- which is what DANE was trying to augment in the first place.
I don’t understand it either. Lows well under 20°F are fairly common in the US. The _average_ temperature in the winter is in the mid-20s where I currently live.

The talk about a delay was walked back soon after. I’m guessing it was an idea by Irwin and then rejected by Musk.

My wife has one metastasis on her spine , it was detected 33 day ago, I fear that moment where she will be suffering enough that she will qualify for medically assisted death. According to the paper accompanying her incredibly expensive drugs (5700$/month) she has between twelve and eighty-eight months left ... I hope that she will cost money to my insurance for a long time!

According to her oncologist we cannot know as the stats are always made in the past and they don't reflect recent medical advances like the to be scheduled next week xray scalpel surgery.

It’s interesting to me that private citizens and businesses in some places can reliably expect that the law won’t protect them but can also reliably expect the law to prosecute them if they defended themselves with the force that the law does.

I think this illustrates that the monopoly on “legitimate” violence held by the state comes with a very clear obligation to either use that monopoly or allow others to use violence, otherwise people will see the state as having abdicated its fundamental duty.
In the past I've not been a fan of the phrase "global elite" , or given it all that much thought.

But a few things have made me rethink that:

(1) I watched The Century of Self by Adam Curtis, which was a recommended documentary in this recent thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32799789

I feel like as an educated person in his 40's, I should have at least heard of Edward Bernays: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Bernays

But I hadn't until that documentary. Summary of what I got out of it: once TV arrived, it was inevitable that someone figured out the best ways to influence people's opinions with that medium.

i.e. everything people are complaining about with social media is not new. Once TV was invented, there was way to influence elections more effectively, etc.

It was very interesting to see who were the analogs of "Elon/Trump/Kanye" in the 50's. i.e. how politicians, businessmen, and entertainers all vied for attention and control over ideas. And paid for it handsomely!

I guess the main idea is how money can be converted directly and deterministically into the opinions of the masses.

I'm sure this is all old hat to people who study media, but ironically the current reflection about social media seems mostly ignorant of this, i.e. ahistorical. I had to learn this from a 20-year-old documentary!

---

(2) This is kind of dark, but it was clear through watching some of Kanye's unhinged interviews that he thinks of population influence as sort of an engineering feat. He admires objective metrics, aligned interests, power, etc.

He is amoral about it -- if trolling works, it works. It doesn't matter what it means.

He would love Bernays, or he probably knows 1000x more about him and his methods than any of us do.

He constantly talks about Elon and Trump because he admires how they control populations -- he says this explicitly. And Kanye is successful at it himself, so this is not an empty opinion. It's an interesting case of the mentally ill being more in touch with reality along one specific dimension than "normal people".

---

(3) "It's not greed that drives the world, but envy" -- Charlie Munger

(4) The idea of "mimetic desire" from Rene Girard (who Thiel studied at Stanford, etc.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mimetic_theory

So to me those are all basically the same idea, and a bit depressing ...

And it works on me too. Because even if you don't have social media accounts or "keep up with the news" (I've been failing at this lately), I still think you're the "average of the 5 or 10 people closest to you". And those 5 or 10 people are influenced by these memes / media, etc. It does feel like a trap

It is not an accident that someone paid $44 B for Twitter ... Control over the zeitgeist is simply valuable.

Take a deep breath and reread what I said.

Now, let's start:

> I'm saying you guys are wrong,

I read the article before I replied to you. I don't think OP said "don't read the article". They called it "rich criticism" coming from WaPo. That says nothing of the author. Literally no one you responded to has said don't read the article.

> [1] Though I don't for a second believe Bezos is any worse than "News Corp" or "China", or for that matter "Russia" or even "VoA" as an interfering owner.

All of the above are ass, but we're stuck with them. Personally, I read WaPo, NPR, WSJ, and the like. The only ones I actively avoid are Fox, NYT, NBC, and CNN.

Anyway, I'm going to stop replying now. Point is, no one said don't read it. It's okay to read it and chuckle at the facts around WaPo simultaneously. Nothing is diluted there.

Have a nice day!

The other thing it doesn’t take into account is that the stats are the product of:

1) Crimes that are actually reported to the police

2) The subset of the above that the police accepts a report on and chooses to tell us about

It seems obvious at first glance that those numbers are highly dependent on a bunch if things, and there’s plenty of ways the final number would get divorced from a close coupling with the “actual” real world number.

Or said a different way. Taking that as an argument has as a premise that you trust the police, which seems incompatible with other parts of the same open conversation we’re having about all this.
For some background on who this is:

https://www.neuroscience.ox.ac.uk/research-directory/mark-st...
No, it wasn't. I've been working in security since 1995. People have at times said that HTTPS was unnecessary for things like static content sites and blogs, sure. There has been pushback against the idea of doing HTTPS everywhere. But no serious person has ever pushed back against the need for HTTPS in some places. HTTPS and DNSSEC are not comparable. We've spent 25 years trying to have DNSSEC and not having it, and for a lot of us, the verdict is in: DNSSEC isn't necessary for a secure Internet.
Yep, I think the last proper embedded project I worked on before this one was on an i386EX running at 40MHz, trying to eke 40KHz sample rate processing the output of a line scan CCD. I, a brash 22yo, declared it impossible to process ~250 pixels in 10 clock cycles (there was DMA and cool dual-port RAM stuff going on). My boss at the time explained the obvious way to approach it and I tried again, I think I got to 36KHz or something after pulling out all the stops. Fun times.

The idea that you could just use trig functions and get away with it on a micro is still kinda foreign. :P

Of course it is and regulators will come down that way as it's even more blatant anti-competitive behavior than many other cases in the past.

I figure 20F is just sufficient to prove their thesis (effects of cold on EV cars). I don't think it purports to be an all-encompassing study, especially since there are variables like cabin heating which can have significant effects on range in lower temperatures.
Not very pro-crime to promote 60 arrests.
It does affect you though. Cause Bezos then lobbies that unions are evil and does everything under the sun to keep wages low. Including yours.
> the issue was cost

It has to be deeper. Google has deep pockets. Even it doesn’t want to touch them, one could sell interests in individual cars’ cash flows, a quasi-debt which neither dilutes the company’s equity nor puts its survival at risk.
If your identity is "simply" a public key, then...how does anyone actually refer to you? By a handle? That's not part of a public key. An avatar? I guess you could generate one à la Gravatar from a public key, but those aren't going to be very memorable.

A public key is a way to securely and uniquely say "this is me". It says nothing about who you are, anything about you, what you like or do, your links to other people, or anything like that.

All that information has to be stored somewhere.
I mostly write for myself, but occasionally a discussion with a friend or colleague will come up and I'll say "hey, I wrote a blog post about this" and share the link with them.

I did have one case where a job interview skipped a step because "we read your blog and it sounds like you know what you're talking about," so I guess it can kind of act like a portfolio if you link to it on your CV, but otherwise I can't be bothered to promote it.

As for finding content, generally my strategy is to follow hyperlinks on blog posts to other blog posts and bookmark things that interest me like it's still the 90's. Sometimes I don't remember a blog post's title, but I'll remember the title of the one three clicks ago that I bookmarked, and that's how I'll find it again. There's something oddly rewarding about rediscovering some far corner of the world wide web that you'd never get to otherwise, as if the amount of work it took to find is somehow proportional to the value you get from reading it.
Nice additions. I like in particular the removal of the indexes, and how quotes look better.

Ask HN: How to keep small kids busy?
Do you have good tricks of how to keep small children (18 months) busy?
When they meet other children, they usually play together quite well, but when you are with your kid at home alone, the kid wants your attention all the time (reading the same books a lot of times).
Two things that work quite well so far for me:
- letting him bring clothes to the washing machine from a larger pile
- letting roomba run around carrying things, so he can chase it around

Probably some of you have other good ideas?!
Sure, but isn't influencing policy the whole point of the Federalist Scoiety, and a half-century of effort spent to overthrow a pagan, immoral ruling?
You wouldn't be shooing them away if there wasn't something there to shoo them away from. It's just logical.
> consistently documented as a breeding ground for extremism and linked to multiple mass killings

Like churches? Maybe the problem is that 4chanism isn't a recognized religion.

Extremism is so relative and not universal that I can guarantee that the use of edgy language and some aneurotypical behavior is the least weird and destructive thing going on in our world right now.

For instance, antinomianism isn't just tolerated in the United States, it's taught and embraced at a level that the people who believe it don't even know the word for it. However, there's nothing more extreme or terrifying than people who live under the belief that nothing matters in life as long as they fulfill the mission of their faith because their true and eternal reward only comes after.

From those oddball Christian big game hunters seeking to prove that "God gave man dominion over animals", to companies that don't care about pollution because not producing to the limit of their abilities is wasting a gift from God, to the Hobby Lobby family funding ISIL by buying up ransacked early Christian artifacts, to child brides and arranged marriages in sleepy little towns across the country, there are people who are brainwashed into believing they're in a fight or die battle for their souls over things as non-controversial as celebrating certain holidays, bodily autonomy and consensual relationships, having equal healthcare access, upholding separation of church and state, or ensuring access to quality education.

On the other side of that coin are people who believe everything is okay as long as you or someone else is paying for it. It's a different type of religion and no less cruel or violent.

Not that they're harmless, but I'm not afraid of Pepe memers. I'm afraid of raising my family near a future Superfund site, that kids are growing up being better prepared for mass shootings than to succeed in college, and for anyone nearby when some cave dweller opens fire or sets off a bomb at a women's clinic.

The accusation hasn’t been proven false, and even if it was then nuking a whole newspaper archive is a lot of collateral damage.
> One interesting thing that points out is that internal combustion engines are also about 15% less efficient at cold temperatures.

They are less efficient at cold engine temperatures, but more efficient at cold air temperatures. This means that in cold winter, once the engine warms up (which might not take place on short routes), internal combustion engines are more efficient than in summer.
Where are you getting your more reliable stats? Consider that “the official stats aren’t reliable” does not imply “therefore any stats that support my favorite narrative are more reliable.”
Interesting timing for this post - I'm studying this for a new job at the moment and building myself my own little Wikipedia in order to learn it. 10BASE uses Manchester Encoding, 100BASE uses Non-Return-to-Zero, Invert-on-one (NRZI) encoding and Multiple Level Transition (MLT-3) with 4B5B translation, 1000BASE uses 8b/10b Encoding (8 bits for data, 2 for ECC).

More recent speeds all tend to use PAM4 encoding, meaning there's 4 voltage levels instead of 2! There's a great article on it here: https://blog.samtec.com/post/understanding-nrz-and-pam4-sign...

> Then I gave an interview in March 2017 in which I said that a trans woman is a trans woman, (the larger point of which was to say that we should be able to acknowledge difference while being fully inclusive, that in fact the whole premise of inclusiveness is difference.)

It's not only about being inclusive of differences. For example someone who previously had psychological issues then learned to live a regular day-to-day life shouldn't be called out. Facts being facts doesn't justify blanket restatement. In most contexts if a particular difference shouldn't matter, then it doesn't need distinct identification. If it was a hot topic for the guest, perhaps the host was first to break trust.
