unless the EV industry pulls a rabbit out of a hat.

It's call h2, and multiple cars on the road (kia, toyota, hyundia) work just fine.

One federal funding/grant program, and refuel stations will abound.

And h2 is every bit as green as electric, for both can be supplied via green methods.

Not all 110v chargers are equal.

My BMW came with a 6/10 amp (software selectable) emergency use charger.

I bought a 16 amp 110V charger from Amazon, and it is more than enough to keep up with my daily commute. (It is equivalent to an 8 amp 220V charge cable.)
Personally for a while initially, I just didn't bother figuring out which one was better.

I'd say the lack of a push towards Atom might be one of the reasons.
Yeah, I can get basic user information pretty reliably just from the initial page load.

I had a secondary use case of allowing users to sign-in in order to import the (verified/creator) users they follow, but quickly realized Apple wouldn't allow that data to be used (after the whole OG app ordeal), so I never had a real reason to follow up and crack it again.
The way that Twitter/FBI relationship has been portrayed by certain people has been dangerously misleading -- don't fall for it. Twitter was compensated for assisting with investigations (e.g. collecting information), which is entirely normal, and has nothing to do with censorship. Don't be a sucker, the people pushing this conspiracy theory are depending on us to not investigate the matter for ourselves and to instead get angry.
I would be scared if you exuded confidence.

From my own experience, take effective notes, don't finish people's sentences whilst they are explaining things to you, even if you already know the answers.

It's a new stack, so you can hopefully make use of your previous experiences to help you find similarities and differences, to help guide you on what topics you should concentrate.

Ask questions, and don't be dissuaded if you receive unhelpful comments or remarks; keep asking, and keep making effective notes...

Recognise, if you can, the signs that alert you to mounting pressure, and to the associated anxiety. Use that to help you prepare for what you may see as inevitable, but what could be dealt with in a coordinated, organised manner.

Seek out and identify supportive, helpful people and teams; don't ignore those who appear less helpful because you may not be aware of their anxieties or the pressures they are experiencing. Don't align yourself too closely with any extreme, but listen to everyone.

Find mentors, but don't make mentoring a one-sided affair. Most people have something to offer, even if it's not immediately obvious. And keep learning :-)

And address the issues you are experiencing, as difficult as that may sound. Heck, you've already started, with this post...
Honestly? I think the agenda is less specifically "woke" and more specifically trying to be bland and inoffensive for its' primary intended use (front-facing support bots, etc). They don't want another Erin Esurance on their hands.
No. That's a waste of a useful resource. It's also illegal in various places.
Well, they're doing torchhikes through the area near Nuremberg on their meetups, they send emails through relays with hostnames like "Wolfsschanze" and devs with official suckless flair post on [website that's basically a clone of HN] complaining about "cultural marxism".

Obviously, you still have to interpret that yourself, but these are the facts about the people behind suckless.
At those temperatures you're up against the flash point of gasoline, which is already the lowest of any (liquid) fuel I can think of.
> Do they have special interview channels for 'regular devs' and another for people who can write dynamo ?

Not special interviews, but certainly different pieces of headcount. There are Googlers and there are Googlers. Being the second is a lot more work, but a lot more interesting.
https://archive.today/ii61f
Most of the time if you're not at your own home you'll be on 110V chargers. To get 220V charging at someone else's you're likely either at another EV owners house who's gone through the trouble of installing a 220V port or you're lucky and they have a conveniently placed dryer in the garage you can steal 220V power from.
Europe actually does have a few countries that claim that photographing or digitizing a public domain work recopyrights it. They also have neighboring rights and database rights regimes on top of that.

If you wanna know more, you should look at the one time the National Portrait Gallery threatened to sue Wikimedia[0] for having an archive of uncopyrighted material. It went nowhere - primarily because the US has soundly and firmly rejected the nonsense that "sweat of the brow" creates copyright. Hell, even the EU doesn't think you can recopyright public domain works this way. But the UK-hosted NPG is still asserting primacy of UK law over the whole Internet to this day.

The resolution is pretty good, but they got one other massive advantage over human eyes even without sound - a full 360 degree view at any given time that doesn't require turning head, thanks to the array of cameras covering everything all at once.
Universities like Stanford are notoriously liberal hotbeds, by what mechanism would conservatives even make that happen?
No, just driving on the motorway, at a solid 140km/h. Did the exact same drive in winter and in the summer just this year and that was the difference in consumption(I want to add that I can see the difference in daily use too, but I just happened to do the exact same 700km drive where the only different factor was the season of the year, so it gave me a very good reference point for specific numbers).
America's Coldest Christmas Eve Ever
There are a lot of conservative, liberal, or left-wing people I disagree with. The difference between them and fascists is that they're not threatening to take away my right to disagree with them by violence, nor do they typically suggest that people like me and my friends should be killed or imprisoned for being who we are. This is a fundamental difference that can't be reduced to a "both sides have extremists" analysis.
I write poetry because it's an extremely accessible form of art. It doesn't depend on muscle memory and the words in your head are exactly the same as the words you write.

Someone without the dedication to spend 3 years practicing can write something others want to read, and it can even be performed out loud.
Well, I envy wherever you live then, must be nice in winter!
It's the natural conclusion of their beliefs in themselves as ubermensch - that the rest of us are untermensch. I'm sure many are nice on the surface, but they fundamentally don't think of us as equals - there's a good reason why they didn't go to their state schools after all.

You can see it in people like Dan Gross who named his venture fund after the eugenics research fund Pioneer Fund and called other people "NPCs" in a lecture that got big on HN a few years ago.
What kind of precedent is this setting the world over, being a leader and allowing these things to happen? I get that this man and his wife must be very dedicated to their jobs, but why not at least give them a relatively cheap hotel room and like a bare-minimum of parental leave? Just absolute nonsense and I hope this isn't becoming normalized.
At what temperature would it consume 2000 watts keeping the battery warm? Surely it uses a heat pump, so it is pumping 8000-4000W of heat into the battery pack. That would be a large steady state heat loss!
Our new parent company -- that works in a security-sensitive industry -- rolled out LastPass over the last few months.

I sent a warning letter to the CISO listing the previous hacks and vulnerabilities in LastPass.

Then this new hack happened, and the CISO sent out a letter saying that there is nothing to be concerned about and that all is well.

When the news broke that the breach was worse than predicted, I sent another letter to the CISO highlighting the concern.

So far, I've had zero responses to any of my emails. Just radio silence. The cold shoulder treatment. Dogs barking in the distance. Etc...

I'm starting to suspect that the CISO is getting some sort of kickback from LastPass, because he's doubling down with every breach on a bad decision.

Has anyone else had any experience with LastPass offering outright bribes to senior staff to get sales? If I can point to a precedent, that would be helpful.
I so agree. I also love how it's content vs form focused.
I'm disagreeing with the idea that this will cause big issues. It's a known problem and it's hard to imagine SEO spam getting any worse than it already is.

> whether people will be less likely to publish content if chat is supposed to spit out its summaries and, potentially, reduce traffic to their sites.

Good. Today, kind humans summarize long winded articles in the comment section and often save me a click. Sometimes I'm that human.
I can’t tell if this is a repost or was cited in something posted recently, but I could have sworn last I read about this, they had a snippet about how one of the many weird rituals Stanford had involves running up and kissing strangers? That’s the kind of thing I wish one of the folks I know on the faculty had warned me about before I spent a summer in Palo Alto.

Speaking as someone who didn’t go to a school with any of the cutesy crap in the OP, and last read about the institution when someone had to yank a rapist off some lady, I’m not very sympathetic.

I tried very hard to get in someplace without an athletics program to avoid west coast equivalent of Dartmouth style shenanigans… then got into neither and quit my PhD after realizing it wasn’t going to end unless I excused and ignored a litany of abusive and illegal behavior.

I feel bad for folks who JUST put on an unauthorized costume but… I saw so much shit passing through when interning in the Bay I don’t have any sympathy for the party people of Palo Alto - most of them should be sent to the nuthouse.

(And not a bar.)
A bigger problem is that the batteries simply don't charge in the cold and also discharge much faster.

Reminds me of when congressman Josh Hawley needled the COO of TikTok for 10 straight minutes trying to get a direct answer as to whether any TikTok employees with access to US user data were affiliated with the Chinese communist party. That was 3 months ago. https://youtu.be/meWM8d4Uz7Q

18mpg would generally be a pickup truck. You'd be hard-pressed to find a regular sedan that has mileage that bad.
We’re just still in the early days of EV maturity.

I’ve driven in Canada for 40 years. Until modern low-viscosity oil capable engines — cars were required to be plugged in to block heaters for hours before attempting to start, at -20C and lower.

I didn’t expect EVs to perform better than gas vehicles; why would I, at this level of their maturity?

Diesel vehicles are even more brittle; oilfield workers simply don’t shut off their diesel trucks for days at a time, at low temperatures.
If you wanted something to do math you'd make something more like a pocket calculator. ChatGPT's real competence is in picking the most plausible, not necessarily the most correct, next word. That is how it is able to hypnotize people into skimming past its mistakes.

That can get you really far in English class or maybe social studies but it can't get you far in a field like math where you can really say something is wrong or right without any reservations.

Note that reasoning about math is fundamentally problematic because of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del%27s_incompleteness_...

because there is no algorithm that can tell, 100%, if a mathematical statement is satisfiable. It took mathematicians almost 375 years to prove, for instance, that

x^n + y^n = z^n

is unsatisfiable for x,y,z all positive integers > 0 and n a positive integer > 2. You'd like to be able to ask a math AI to try and solve an equation like that or to prove it has no solutions but there is no algorithm that is going to solve that in a finite amount of time. It's fair for something to go looking for solutions and either keep going till you tell it to stop, or maybe stop at a certain point and tell you something about what it ruled out.

This book

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach

has a number of dialogues between Achilles and the Tortoise where they try to build an impossible machine and take a long time to understand what they're trying to do is impossible. Some people see it as an indictment of symbolic A.I. that fundamentally revolves around logic but I see the problems as having to do with philosophy, logic and the limitations of "truth" (you might even say the word "truth" is a bad word if the intro of the X-Files can claim that "the truth is out there" or that it can be composed into a name like "Truth Social".) That is, it is not a limitation of the technology you are using, it is a problem with the problem you are trying to solve.
I thought this was a joke, but it's actually true; just verified on my account...
We’re in a golden age of board games
Diesel passenger cars aren’t popular in the US, certainly not in the segments that compete with EVs.

You’re right but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s not the right time for people in certain areas or with certain lifestyles to have an EV.
Ethereum runs the EVM, which is a Turing complete execution environment. It can run things of arbitrary complexity.

> Congrats, you've reinvented batch processing.

This is an extreme over-simplification of zero knowledge proofs. You would do well in digging deeper what is being achieved instead of dismissing it without any understanding.
He doesn’t need to be getting a kickback. He probably just wants to spin as hard as he can that his poor choice cost did not cost the company a bunch of money.
Letting the car consume a small amount of constant electricity to keep the battery above freezing is thankfully not very expensive compared to a standard space heater (usually 1.5kW at 720 hours a month, costing $150 a month in Seattle).

Defrosting and toasting the cabin to 92F in freezing conditions usually burns about 1.2kWh to 3kWh while plugged in, but that is just a few tens of cents (or free depending on the charger) to get nearly instantly toasty and ready to drive.
That's unreal. One bad year for admissions and the administrators will outnumber the students.
I wouldn't suspect kickbacks immediately, simply trying to avoid blame for the initial decision seems motive enough.
I heard stories about Russians in the red army setting a pan of fuel on fire under the engine block of their trucks to warm them up sufficiently to turn over and start.

Apparently some truck models over there have a built-in metal tray for this purpose.

The primary one is that in the presence of byzantine faults it goes for consistency over availability, however the Avalanche ecosystem generally prefers that choice.
Is LastPass one of those password managers that only encrypt passwords and leave other data as is? I always cringe when password managers do that. This is a funny joke for anyone who understands even a little about cryptography.
…is effective for some college students in the US and UK.

It would be interesting to see if it varies depending on age or in other countries.
That's not a very useful bit of information, is it?

We'd expect a very high conviction rate in very bad systems because of corruption and because such systems might be meant just for show.

However, we'd also expect a very high conviction rate in very good systems. Before a case gets to trial in a very good system first it would be investigated by police. Only if the police think there is a worthwhile case would it go to prosecutors. Then some prosecutor has to decide they have enough evidence to stand a good chance of conviction. There would probably be more review taking into account overall prosecutorial load to make sure they won't be devoting limited resources to a case they might lose.

The only cases that reach trial should be cases that the prosecutor is very sure they will win, so of course we should see a high conviction rate if the prosecutors are competent.
It's a possibility. But the way I understand it, he thought he was somehow above board with what he was doing. At least recoverable, eventually above board. Having dark wallets would not have been consistent with that.

Of course, that's what he wants me to think. I'm ready to learn that my take is too naive. But so far, evidence of a bigger plot is missing for me.
> But you know what I don't do? Freeze my ass off standing in a gas station in subzero temperatures and howling winds! Not missing that at all.

Right! And I suspect by 2035, not having a 220v outlet in the garage will be like not having a microwave in your kitchen in the mid 90's.
Merry Christmas!

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Wow. Thank you for taking the time to write all of this. I had seen studies that theorized the increase in allergies is due to introducing potential allergens much later in life, but it doesn’t sound like that was the case for you. So sorry for your son; that sounds extremely stressful for all. Glad for him you’re so on top of it. He’s lucky to have such attentive parents. Merry Xmas.
The neat thing about being leftist in the USA today is you can blame 100% of the problems caused by overregulation on "muh free market!", a mythical boogieman supposedly in control of the US economy but in reality essentially nonexistent.
> Suckless is one of the few islands of right wing outlook.

It has a concerning concentration of outright neo nazis.

If that's what you consider acceptable "right wing outlook", I can see how you'd consider "98% of all open-source software written is by left-wing or apolitical people [or "centrists"]", and that this is apparently bad.

I don’t think this makes the case that you are claiming. Smart contracts are not the equivalent legal contracts, it’s a very good word. As for #6, I think people are more interested in more complicated rug-pulls involving NFTs then just trading BTC.
> Remember that a lot of people have to spend 10-15 minutes warming up their cars before they drive them in cold weather.

People choose to do this. This isn’t required and it’s recommended against in modern vehicles.

> I do not want to go into details, better car mechanics than me should, but there is all kind of chaos that can happen if your engine freezes and you try to drive it immediately.

Engines do not freeze in the conditions common in most of the US, even with winter like we’re currently having. The engine coolant is a mixture of anti-freeze and water.
Because unlike Breakfast and Bedtime, this decision results in a higher density of People.

People have the right to decide who to spend time near, and if that can't be exercised by certain groups, then individuals in those groups merely leave and will be called bigots for "white flight".
I'm from Ukraine.

This is the hardest Christmas I've ever had in my life. Because of the war, they had to move to a safe place and constantly incur large expenses. Unfortunately, the war ruined all plans to launch my startup and a programming language that would help people be more smart and free, which I have been doing for 10 years. I tried to work on a startup while working at work, but the problems associated with the war, electricity and the Internet made it very expensive to exist. Unfortunately, the people I counted on and whom I helped to make a career also let me down. Also, the support of the Ukrainians was not as great as in the media in my case, I applied to many places. Now I am left without finances and without a job, this is the first time in my career in 12 years of remote work.

Maybe you suggest a place where I can apply in such a situation, maybe there are funds that help Ukrainians? Or maybe a place where I can get quickly find a job and get payout?

All hope is in God. Merry Christmas

Here is my project, any suggestion?

Merry Christmas to you all and HN too! Have a lovely time!
You don't have to 'hit rock bottom' to have temporary times of despair in your life. Even if you have a lot of things going for you, we all have times when we feel sad, depressed, lonely, in a rut, overwhelmed, or other negative emotions.

If you find yourself in one of those times, convince yourself that it is only temporary and look for the good. Help someone else out because serving others will give you a boost. Surround yourself with uplifting people. Make small steps if that helps.

Some people give religion a bad rep, but faith, hope, and charity are real and uplift the soul.
At my previous employer I remember saying don't do it with LastPass as the credentials will get stolen. The so-called tech lead said, "I hear what you're saying but it's been decided." I wonder what he is thinking now when he hears about this. Probably nothing.
Driving with an iced over window impairing visibility is illegal in most places, you have to address this with defrosting and perhaps scraping before moving the vehicle.

Idling combustion vehicles is bad, but sometimes it's a necessary evil to ensure visibility so the driver can avoid harming other road users.
Imagine every laptop, tablet, phone, watch had the same charger that was 100% compatible with all the devices. What a world would that be.
There's two main challenges for EVs in cold weather that cause extra use of energy vs warm weather; warming up the battery pack and warming up the cabin.

ICE vehicles also run less efficiently when the engine is cold, so this part is roughly analogous even if there is more extra energy required to heat the battery pack.

The main difference is that once the engine is warm, ICE vehicles can then heat the cabin "for free" using waste heat because an ICE is so incredibly inefficient. This waste heat is useless when it is warm but a nice bonus when it is cold. EVs must expressly spend energy to create warmth for the cabin.

But this is also why most EV owners know to schedule your vehicle to warm up while it is still plugged in before you depart. One advantage is that you can do this in a closed garage with an EV and not worry about fumes.

Cold weather reduces range on all vehicles, it's just more noticeable on EVs due to having less excess range and the aforementioned heating concerns.

But I drove a 2014 Leaf for 8 years here in Michigan, without issue. That's a low range vehicle in a very cold climate. It's totally fine.
Hmm. Maybe google "Hoover Institution".
