> There are precious few charging stations in the Midwest (especially those affiliated with the Subaru/Toyota brands)

If you're looking for things to be explicitly related for Subaru/Toyota, you'll be missing a lot. It's not like you buy gas at Toyota gas stations. Outside of Tesla and Nissan Leafs the brand doesn't matter.

A quick look at plugshare.com filtered for CCS chargers show lots of areas with pretty good coverage of chargers. Some places do get a bit sparse, but kind of following along in Google Maps it looks like those are kind of sparse areas in general. Sticking to mostly major highways would get you practically anywhere around the Midwest in an average CCS EV from what I can tell. Obviously, if you're only ever in those sparse areas you're gonna have a hard time.

I definitely don't know your particular needs so I can't truly say that you wouldn't have had a problem charging. I'm just throwing it out to other people that there are over several hundred CCS charging locations in the Midwest today, with more locations being built out constantly. Use tools like plugshare.com to know the places you tend to drive and reach your own conclusions on if an EV would work for you. I agree EVs can't serve every use case and need, you gotta see what's best for you.

I disagree, it's little frictions like this that make it hard for newcomers to take the stage even when on paper they're better than established competitors. This is hackernews so obviously our population is going to be less likely to be significantly hampered by this, but I'm telling you for a fact that everyone in my family that checked out mastodon struggled to follow people that were on different instances, texted/emailed me about why they couldn't login on that instance, and have since stopped using it. Now I'm not sure if that's the only reason, but they all reached out to me about it and few about anything else, so it's definitely harmful for the ecosystem.
I'm similar, but replace the answer to all of those questions with "make a coffee".

No. SaaS has wormed it's way into your brain at such a deep level that you believe that "ops, hosting, security updates, and backports for compatability" are necessary to have high quality reliable software. None of that is true. Software can be written to just work on a machine you install it on. My copy of Adobe CS6 still works just fine, software doesn't just stop working on it's own. There are no ongoing maintenance costs for multiple versions. It works just fine installing off the same media it did 10 years ago. Security updates are not really necessary if your software runs in autistic mode.

The reason you believe these things is because people build software in stupid ways in order to justify ongoing costs. Cloud-first software architecture is something you do because you want to collect rents, and then you try to write good software DESPITE it. It's not a sound technical choice for most of the software that goes that route.

Not everyone lives in SF but the problem is everywhere. Even in areas where the city doesn’t give a shit houses aren’t magically higher quality. The problem is bigger than your local city planners.

I tried it to help me optimize some sql, but even after many attempts it didn't really do anything useful for me. The best thing was really to show how the syntax works for features that I rarely use - so in that sense it's a better stackoverflow.
I hadn't seen this before and I was curious what approach Ryujinx and Yuzu (mentioned here) take to emulate the GPU. Both appear to emulate the actual hardware rather than patch the guest to intercept graphics calls in some way. This includes recompiling Maxwell shader machine code into host-compatible shaders (GLSL or whatever). Impressive.

It's unclear to me how improving one's ability to pick out satellite reentry events from weather radar data either "mitigates the risk of orbital debris" or (as the article's title claims) "saves billions". Satellites (and space debris) large enough to show up on these radars are certainly large enough to be regularly tracked by the US SSN (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Space_Surveillan...) (which also provides reentry predictions and estimates), so this is largely a correlation exercise.

It's interesting work (IMO), but the post isn't clear about how the work fits in to the broader space situational awareness/space traffic management ecosystem.

It is certainly not as clear-cut as you are making it out. It's not theft to "possess" Call of Duty if you never paid for it?

Or, say I purchased a record of Rolling Stones "Sticky Fingers" back in 1977 or whenever. It is a copyrighted work that I paid for, as you stated. Now, can I go into Sam Goody in 1983 and just walk out with a cassette of the same album? In 1994 can I snag a CD off the shelf at Tower Records? Today, can I demand Amazon or Google or Apple provide me with a MP3 copy?

Let's say I bought every single Rolling Stones album, in every format, etc. I own every song they have ever released. Tomorrow they come out with a new box set -- every song in the collection is one that I already own... so now I can possess the box set for free without buying it?

It is not appropriate or ethical for ship captains to use euphemisms or other language that may downplay or minimize the severity of a ship running aground or any other maritime incident or accident. Ship captains have a serious responsibility to communicate clearly and accurately about the status of their vessel and to take all necessary actions to ensure the safety of their crew and passengers. Using euphemisms or other language that may mislead or confuse people about the true nature of an incident or accident could potentially compromise safety and hinder effective communication and response.

Update: so as mentioned in my blog post, my panic force reboot during the Firefox Snap update has definitely done something bad to my system. It's now failing to boot most of the time and also crashing randomly when it does boot. Not sure what the root cause is but it's a 1 year old laptop.

> I really don't understand why people are surprised.

Because this is the first time anything quite like this has happened. Yes I know shows disappear from streaming platforms all the time.

Anyone who says they aren’t surprised is, imho, full of shit. This is surprising because the economics of it seemingly don’t make sense. Which means the contracts must be structured in a way that people didn’t expect. TBH eve after the announcement it still doesn’t make sense to me! The only way it can sense is if you know the contract details. And I’m pretty sure you don’t, which means I think you’re full of shit. I’m not trying to be rude, just honest! However if you do know what the Westworld contract looked like please let us all know!
First winter with a Kia Soul EV here - and at -20° C this past week, after about 10 minutes with just heated seats/steering wheel on and no fan/forced air heating, it starts fogging up and my feet (even in decent winter boots) start getting chilly.

Turn on the heater and crank the fan, and watch the range drop about 3-5km per increment on the fan dial.

Our other vehicle is an old Jeep Liberty with a V6; gas mileage drops on it as well in winter - combination of some pre-warming and using full time 4WD more. I've always planned for 20-40% less range since I started driving well over 30 years ago, it is just something you do living in a truly cold winter climate.
Indian here. Yep, that's pretty much it.

I'm also not a fan of it being glorified because a) it shows how often there are systemic problems in India that force you to resort to "jugaad" to get stuff done and b) culturally, we tend to stick with "good enough" jugaad options instead of aspiring towards higher-quality products and solutions.
I can already do that with a ridiculous and stupid amount of friction and confusion.

It (theoretically of course) is not easier than piracy?

From what I recall from their advertising push from that time-frame, they advertised heavily their providing (I think) 1GiB of email storage for free, at a time when the other email providers offered on the order of 1 or 2 or 5 MiB of free storage. Their advertising "jingle" was something to do with "never have to delete another email". I think they also coupled this with supposedly better search capability to allow you to "find" an email you were looking for in that "never delete another email" pile you could collect.

Later they played up "better SPAM filtering" (specifically fewer false positives) than the competition (whether it was better I cannot say, as I have never been a gmail user).
ya got me there. but still, we can do better :)
I hope not. And if WASM does get access to browser APIs, I hope it will be behind some sort of user-visible confirmation, to discourage causal use.

Modern web is not always user friendly, and many users benefit from ad blocking, data extraction, per-site fixeups and so on. The limited and flaky Javascript helps a lot - we can block the 3rd party script, and the pages will continue displaying without the ads; any data fetching is via browser's http engine and in most cases using JSON or XML format; and the sites are expected to support a wide range of browser features so they are often compatible with much older/newer browsers.

Now imagine web using "compiled language" model (or if you are old enough, remember ActiveX or Flash-as-entire-website): you get that immutable blob of binary code and there is very little you can do. Reverse-engineering it is non-trivial, takes a lot of time and any patches you produce may break with the next release. A trivial change like making input box a big bigger is a major effort.

(one may say: "but wait! WASM will only replace Javascript, the HTML/DOM will still stay around, so it would not be that bad!". You are too optimistic, I bet there right now, there are people who want to do it all in WASM and only need canvas from web browser.)
Less of that, but more of the fact that Riot wishes to create distance between their brand and SBF. Considering that he is no longer considered to be successful nor positively influencial, further association with him can only cause potential reputation damage. Once an influencer has become a liability and no more value could be extracted, the only sane thing to do is to drop them like a rock.
Yes, but IGF-1 as an adult won't promote the kind of growth you want. It's actually something you want to keep low as it's pro-inflammatory.

> The National Park service confirmed that P-22 was responsible for killing a chihuahua that was being walked in the Hollywood hills last month.

No queationing humaneness aspect of putting to sleep, however was the decision connected to the attack? From what I've read:

- P-22 was tracked and captured 5 days ago after confirming attacking a chihuahua in the Hollywood last month.
- 5 days later P-22 was put to sleep

Would P-22 be put to sleep if there was no recent attack on chihuahua?

Does the obvious connection mean that the reason for putting to sleep was not "humaneness", but risk of attack on pets?

I also have a remote dev machine and love it. When I do any heavy cpu work my laptop stays nice and cool since it only has a terminal and a browser open.
I tried doing that for awhile, but I kept hitting `fn` by accident on the Macbook keyboard, since that's the button on the bottom left corner. I probably would have eventually gotten used to it, but I found it easier to just remap caps lock to escape.
I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to round a corner and be eye-to-eye with that beauty. Mixed fear and awe.

Fascist dictators are often "the weak person's idea how a strong person would look like". That means they are not strong in the sense that they have discipline, can carry a lot for other people, can defend their values etc. They are strong because they act strong.

Similar to that Musk is the mediocre person's idea of what a really smart person would look like. He managed to convince quite some people — even very intelligent ones — that he is an actual genius.

They wanted it to be true, so they ignored all the red flags. Replacing a train in a tunnel with a tunnel full of Teslas? Surely might look like the future, unless you have just a slight understanding of engineering, physics and safety rules. A scientific first principle would quickly let you optimise this: a fixed route? Rails are more efficient than rubber wheels, so put the Teslas on rails. Moving the batteries around is inefficient and a fire hazard, so let's move them out of the cars and replace them with the elctrical grid. The cars are bad at taking many passengers, replace them by fewer, bigger cars. So: trains.

If you apply the "scientific" method you would not end up with the stuff Elon does like.

You know what Elon Musk is? It is flying cars. Everybody who didn't think them through at least for a minute thinks they are the future. Why? Because they look like they are the future. I loved these illustrations as a kid and I bet Elon did too. The problem is just that they make no sense in the real world.

Elon Musk has an exceptional sensitivity in identifying products and solutions that look like the future. He has a very bad sense of going for actual good, efficient, workable solutions that make sense. Of anything really good comes up, it almost always seems to be despite him, not because he was involved.

The touch screens in the Teslas are another example. Looks like the future, while being less usable than what we had in the 90s. All the good ("boring") EV stuff in Tesla comes from actual good engineers who, you guessed it, apply the scientific method.

If anything the guy has shown some remarkable ability to change his mind once he realized his bad decisions have been bad. But how much of that was pressure from actually responsible, intelligent people is hard to tell.
It's not for you, it's for every new hire. You can always build on top of the base image, but it sets a nice lower bound and gets people started fast.
It is because a number is base ten is like this:

a + 10b + 100c + 1000d + ....

But 10 leaves a remainder of 1 on division by 3 so this number divided by 3 is the same as

a + b + c + d + ...

This is always my first thought when I hear these horror stories. Doctors need the feedback on when they were wrong, but it seems like they never get it.
Ask HN: Can you recommend an “instant-switch” Monitor? Does one exist?
Current situation:
- I have three sources connected to my monitor (1 HDMI, 1 DP, 1 USB C).
- The monitor is on a switched off source i.e. due power save mode.
- When I try to switch to another source, it takes 4 seconds or more to switch

What the monitor should do: S
- Switch instantly no matter if the current source is on or not.

WHY the long delay???
It is really something that angers me.every.damn.time.

I have a Dell U2723QE, but older models have that as well as others from other brands.

Would love to get a recommendation for an instant switch model.

For any integer base B greater than 2, the multiples of the number B-1, when represented in base B will always have the sum of the digits be a multiple of B-1. If B-1 is a square number (4,9,16,...) then the square root of B-1 will also have this property.

Spotify doesn’t need to “get better” - you’re paying the fee for streaming rights to an ever-growing content library. Same with Netflix, etc.

There’s also an unspoken but important accounting detail here - if you run an online software business and offer a one-time, lifetime purchase for your product, you are now contractually on the hook to provide that service to customers forever, even if your business stops growing, which means that the liabilities of your business are not capped. This is bad if you operate with a lot of cloud expenses, and it means that these businesses are unsustainable unless new customers keep coming in, whereas a subscription model scales with utilization.
> He has the numbers though.

He thinks he has the numbers. He could also raise the subscription price and make more money that way too, if most people stick around. Do that enough and they won't, though.
> Not really, because I saw too many software companies go out of business because not enough people wound up upgrading to the next major version -- the ownership model of software can be awfully feast-or-famine for developers' income, it's a very tough/risky business model.

How is a subscription model any less volatile to the long-term support of an application from the end-user's perspective? To my mind, a subscription service is equally likely to close up shop if the subscriber count dips low enough, which is something that can happen as easily as a "new version" failing to sell well in a purchase model.

The downside is compounded, however, in a subscription model because when a subscription service fails, every user is impacted, both those who would have upgraded had it been a purchase and those who would have kept plugging away with an outdated version. At least with the purchase model, abandonware continues to function for some time.

Funny you should mention owning music because I also prefer to do exactly that rather than pay for a subscription service. And this preference is for two reasons: (a) I like being able to use the music where-ever and whenever I want, and (b) I like that more money goes to the artist via Bandcamp than say, Spotify.
Organists might dispute that
Mostly plain old marketing and initial exclusivity (you had to get invited by another user).

That's what we have in France, and it has been in effect for quite a while. You get an A to G grade, A being best [0].

It didn't seem to have that much of an effect. The government has now had to ban the renting out of units that are too badly insulated [1], with landlords complaining about this.

Of course, with there not being nearly enough units in some markets as is (Paris, for example), combined with rent-controls, I bet watching this unfold will be interesting.
