> Wouldn't compaction be the logical result over time?

I don't think what's happening on that article is organic history compaction. For one, the controversy is about 30 years old but has been 'compacted' by an order of magnitude in about 4 years. I would expect organic history compaction to fairly linear and continuous (as the passage of time is.) Secondly, the controversies section on that article still has several paragraphs about less substantial stuff which happened almost 50 years ago.

Some cars already have this, for sound isolation… including the model 3 and model S. I’ve had some cars in the past with this feature as well. It is relatively common.

Imagine for example if we taxed the shareholders of CocaCola instead, they're the ones who got wealthy from obesity. And before you say "it was the consumer's choice", what was CocaCola's $4b/year advertising spend for, then?
I'm guessing some might have downvoted because I mentioned paid providers. As in letting you pay them to run a Mastodon instance. While the above poster seems to have read my "and more are sure to come" as more options in general rather than more paid options. But I didn't downvote as I agree, the promise of Tumblr support is a big deal and will be a good option for a lot of people.

Is Elon Musk Setting Himself Up to Lose Tesla?
I remember when Elon Musk slandered a journalist who reported on this in 2013, back before people generally knew it was a thing.[1][2]

Um, they did - China was the global superpower for most of human history. Western (read: caucasian) dominance is a relatively recent phenomenon.

And even that dominance is thanks almost entirely to the Islamic golden age that preceded it.

And just like the ignorant muslim empires in 1200 who assumed they would rule the world forever, Westerners haven't realized the rest of the world has caught up to them and the European age is over.
Obesity is caused by lack of access to quality food, being too scarce or too expensive. Sugar and fats are cheap, so most of the pre-made foods are just that. So increase the quality of the food available to the masses and do proper education regarding nutrition and healthy living, and the obesity rate will decrease.

Most of the obese people are like that not because they choose, but because they cannot do better.

Wind chill is mostly a number for TV weathermen to use to hype up cold weather. It does matter to some extent for people in that they may want to be careful to cover exposed skin and wear something windproof. But it's more about dressing for cold windy conditions than about an absolute number.
Populated Norway actually isn’t that cold. The average high/low for their coldest month is 0C/-5C. In contrast Seattle is 8C/2C. I’m curious how EVs are doing in a city like Harbin where it is -24C/-13C.

I wish people would use "You are not alone" or "We also have suffered due to cancer. It is awful. You have our empathy and we offer our condolences." or something else instead of the shorthand "Fuck cancer". But I'll accept "Fuck cancer" too.
I do live here. I don't watch local news, I'm telling you my own observations, which may differ from your part of town. I don't live downtown, but my friends that do did observe protests turning violent on their block(localized,not in mass) and that's why they no longer live downtown.

The nissan leaf demonstrated this problem in Phoenix immediately upon release, it is a known thing. Tesla seems to take yhe cooling loop very seriously. The batteries in the early model s had some issues but after that they seem to asymptote at 20% range loss and stay there. At least so far. I don't know who else takes cooling that seriously. I'd look for liquid cooling but also phase change hooked into the ac system, as liquid and a radiator only gets you down to ambient, which is too hot in an increasingly large number of locations much of the year.
My reaction, too! This is a minor feature, not a bug, and it's not surprising it had a low priority.

The ICE will not be "going obsolete." There's no real replacement and there won't be just because of the underlying physics.

There are too may drawbacks with EVs that they'll never be for everyone and everywhere.

If your 150k mile car is a reliable brand (i.e., Honda or Toyota), you probably have another 150k miles on it.
The ephemerality seems like a side effect of the underlying “problem”: Media consumers want what’s new and hot, that’s where the audience and money are.

Prestige TV imported the creative standards and financing levels of Hollywood films into dramatic television. Now, just like the movies, it’s become hit-driven.
So https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/social-platfo... explicitly lists "username@mastodon.social" or "check out my profile on Facebook - facebook.com/username" as examples (!) of tweets that will be deleted, and posting "instagram dot com/username" will be treated as obfuscation. Oh, and repeat "offenses" result in permanent suspension.
I think that's a fair challenge. There are a bunch of sub-communities.

I'll admit that one of my biases, either for our against a site, is how thoughtful the people in charge are. Even though the communities grow organically, they're inevitably influenced by the controls put into place by the site owner.

When the professed attitude is"I don't give a shit, pay me", I don't think the owner will effectively respond to the extreme cases
> Instead of "blind review", consider using "anonymous review". Context: Unintentionally perpetuates that disability is somehow abnormal or negative, furthering an ableist culture.

But.. disability is abnormal and negative? How tortured of a definition of 'normal' must one use to make blindness normal? And I suspect if the author of that sentence were offered, say, $100,000 to undergo a painless but irreversible blinding surgery, they would very quickly admit blindness is a negative - a greater negative than missing out on $100,000. In fact I suspect most people wouldn't accept that offer even if it had many more zeros.

But still we must pretend?

> Instead of "committed suicide", consider using "died by suicide". Context: Ableist language that trivializes the experiences of people living with mental health conditions.

And with this they tip their hand. The mental contortions required to conclude that "committed suicide" trivializes something, but "died by suicide" doesn't, are so extreme that I cannot believe anyone honestly holds that opinion. That leaves as the most likely conclusion that this document is not an honest effort to eliminate 'harm', but a mine-field, a list of sins and prohibitions, to be used as ammo against opponents.

There are straight up inaccuracies in this article which makes the know-it-all tone even more insufferable.

For example, they claim the sole reason nuclear is declining in the West is because of capital. This is straightforwardly not true. Politics have played a huge role, most notably in Germany.
Corbyn's proposal to actually tax millionaires failed dramatically because of his inability to handle the media.

Despite it being a policy supported by all sorts of economic think tanks from the IFS to Adam Smith, and has support from the Green party to the LSE, somehow he managed to completely bungle it and push the cause back a generation. Another thing I can't forgive him for.
Most non-whites in the US today are not black and have no connection to the black civil rights movement. Applying black civil rights terminology to all non-whites is definitely a white people thing. I suspect my experience with the term “person of color” is typical: the first time that label was used on me was by the overwhelmingly white administration at Northwestern University. I had never encountered the term before.

It would be nice if the maintainers of the site reviewed these particular design choices at some point, to perhaps opt for something more conformant with those accessibility guidelines. Although to be honest 4:1 is not far from the minimum. Just increasing it a little would 'technically' be enough. The downvoted comments colours are another topic...

In the summer, I can drive from Calgary to Edmonton without stopping to charge. I did one trip at -40 (without windchill) and I had to charge in Red Deer for about 30 minutes to make it.
That seems like a bit of an overreaction. Sure, tools are not magic and you should not use tools for the tools' sake but because they are useful.

Same with, say, ring binders: Having some is probably better than none, but if you have one hundred you have other problems.

Same for hammers, pans,.... Buying them won't magically teach you skills, but if you want to learn skills tools will help you.
I read though the suggestions. So "trigger warning" is now problematic and the proper alternative is "content note". And "Preferred pronouns" is hate speech, because you imply that pronouns are merely a preference, as if the person can choose their identity.

Godspeed.
Free Speech Absolutist, yeah?
Forget driving range... how do EVs cope with long term parking, and how much does the winter affect that? I have become acutely aware that some car designers have not really considered "must work after parking" as a feature of a car. I had not thought much about it, but some ICE or HEV cars cannot maintain their basic (non-traction) battery unless driven several times per week at minimum.

I had not thought about this much before the pandemic disrupted prior commute and travel patterns. But now, I think it is absurd that a parked car can ruin a perfectly good battery in a matter of weeks and maroon the occasional motorist. I can't understand how a marketplace allowed these designs to prosper. You shouldn't need to put a wrench to the battery terminals to park a car.
This is, frankly, pathetic.
* A few months ago SpaceX was on the verge of bankruptcy according to Musk.

* Tesla's stock is down and they haven't done any innovation in a long time. FSD is a complete failure. Musk's tweets are hurting the brand. People don't want to buy an alt-right electric car and Elon has become the brand.

* Revenue dramatically decreased at Twitter since Musk took over the company. Likely headed towards bankruptcy in the near future.

* Neuralink is a pipe dream that conducts unnecessary experiments that kill animals. He copied all the experiments of the lead academic researcher and passed them off as his own. There is nothing novel about what they have done.

* Boring Co. hasn't built anything of value. In fact, they have backed out of numerous projects.

It's a complete and total dereliction of duty.
Not just Elon, but also the Muskovites who ape him.

In Tesla's early days, I asked on HN and another online forum if cold weather affected range, and was soundly mocked for even asking the question.

It made sense to me. Heater uses electricity. Moving uses electricity. Using heater means less electricity for moving. But, no. I was entirely wrong because Musk has discovered the magic combination of pixie dust and unicorn farts that negate cold, or heat, as a factor.
>How do people find your blog?

Generally soeaking, they don't. I've just checked and my blog has been running since 2004 and I still get very little traffic.

Mind you, I just write about things that tickle my fancy or which annoy me. So I've definitely not got a 'target demographic' --unless there's some othe poor sods out there with the same eclectic interest as me.

Mainly I just write my blog because I like writing and I like using language. So it's more just scratching a personal itch than anything intended to draw a lot of traffic. For me, writing occasional blog posts is the literary counterpart of doodling in my sketchbooks [which I've also been doing since forever].

I don't have any stats-gathering software running on my blog. So I don't even know how many visitors I get. The only way I can ascertain there are any at all is from occasional comments being posted. Ironically, jusdging by this metric, my most popular articles seem to be fairly run of the mill 'how-tos' rather than the ones I'm most pleased with, from a 'quality of my writing' point of view.
Same. I'm having a difficult time imagining anything happening other than either (a) Musk removes himself or is forced out, or (b) it slowly fades into obscurity like Yahoo. I just don't see how any of this can continue other than maybe hostile foreign states pouring more money into it.
The reason you can get away with a 4 digit PIN is that you can only try the PIN if you’re in physical possession of the card. And if an attacker is already in physical possession of the card, you want revoke the card in any case.

Web sites however, cannot just revoke the username - it would allow for trivial denial of service attacks. I could just enumerate all account numbers for my bank and lock out all customers. So the best that’s available is a temporary lockout, and then the attacker gets to try again.
It is ludicrous to consider this more supportive of free speech than the previous iteration of Twitter. Twitter has always had issues but this is way worse.
> when things are going fine.

Things are not going fine. Things are on fire. How do you buy a company and immediately lose 50% of the revenue? That is a shocking failure.
> We still allow cross-posting content from any social media platform. Posting links or usernames to social media platforms not listed above are also not in violation of this policy.

Read between the lines and you'll see that this doesn't mean they're backing down from hiding links to popular mastodon servers behind warnings that the links might be dangerous or inappropriate.

For a while now Twitter has been reacting in various ways to people posting links to their mastodon profiles in their twitter bios or making tweets linking to mastodon profiles and tweets...shadowbans, warnings that links are to sensitive/dangerous content, and so on.

It's clearly a targeted action, as people have noticed only links to popular servers were being affected.

Elon is such a child.

> 3 IAM policies per month

This is... Not a useful number of policies. I've got a terraform setup for my one person business and I probably have two orders of magnitude more policies than this.

Who is this targeted at? Which policies am I supposed to use these three on? What kind of service only has three policies? How am I supposed to evaluate your service with this small number of policies? The problem is that they might be the "perfect" global maximum goodness policies, but they exist in a web of policies that all need to be correct together. So three does nothing to show me how good your service is, and it's not useful (afaict) for ongoing work.

Here's how I can see you fixing this:

- Just charge me. Give me a trial. Let me pay up front and have a money back policy. Let me generate what I need and see whether it's useful.

- Give me unlimited free policies, but charge for things like tightening down resource access (e.g., narrowing access to specific S3 buckets instead of just narrowing access to S3).

I'm not exactly sure what you're proposing to do here. This case involves a private media archive being sold to a private buyer, with said private buyer (potentially) using the purchase to suppress older reporting. An obvious immediate fix would be to eliminate the incentives that drive this behavior, i.e., ensure that the Streisand Effect makes this approach worthless.

Specifically: if this buyer is attempting to "catch and kill" stories by purchasing and destroying the archive, then a good fix is to ensure that there is new reporting that undermines the purchaser's goal and actually drives more attention to their activities. Indeed, far from being something to complain about, this Washington Post story seems like the first step in achieving exactly that goal. It now needs to be followed up by further investigation that identifies the specific individual(s) at issue so they can be explicitly named and shamed.

Your alternative approach is what exactly? Clearly you're correct that posting the archives to a public library would have been better. But I'm not sure how to force for-profit publishers to do this in the past (impossible) or even in the future.

FIFA has a product that is a glittering diamond for ascending or old (authoritarian) regimes irrespective of whether FIFA exerts any influence on the content itself (the games). That just doesn’t matter and also isn’t necessary so why should they even try to touch that? Makes no rational sense.

FIFA’s job is to get the teams that make the glittering diamond to play in the WC without too much fuss and without making any problems. In that context doing shady shit on the playfield would even be counterproductive.

If all (important) national teams feel like the games themselves are fair and that they are heard when there are problems on the playfield then at least that‘s not an additional area of conflict.

For that reason I think it‘s extremely unlikely for corruption to actually extend to the playfield. It‘s just no needed and even counterproductive. I think that might actually be the thing that actually breaks FIFA‘s power, so I would think that they don’t touch it.
The case is already out there. I read an article on cbc that was reporting some insane stuff around MAID, to the point of being scary: yes the government is trying to save money.

Helion's approach is I'd guess still dominated by capital cost, not fuel cost, so it's relatively bad at peaking. Granted, if they split the reactors into DD reactors making 3He, and field reactors burning the 3He (with reduced DD), it might make more sense to turn the latter up and down, if they have a relatively larger part of their cost from their fuel.
Android does not. That changed a while ago too.
Going to reply on this comment since it's a thorough response to mine.

Look; I'm seeing a lot of reasoning across comments from non-native language, keyboard input, autocorrect, and so forth.

None of this changes the fact that the usage is just flat out wrong. Have we become so soft in society that nothing can be pointed out because of speculative reasons?

If it's a 2nd language, learn the language. If it's the keyboard, get a better keyboard. If it's autocorrect, double check what you write. Stop making excuses for everything.

All these cries for why we should accept there/ their/ they're uncontested is no doubt a reflection of the frustration Carmack must have experienced, if HN is any indicator of the FAANG workforce.
