> Inside the module there are incorporated standard monocrystalline silicon cells. The surface, that is opaque at the sight but translucent to sun rays, allows the light to enter and feed the cells.

When they talk about "sun rays", do they mean the UV portion of sunlight? Because if the material were transparent to visible light, it would be, well, transparent, wouldn't it?
And as an addendum to this, faster/more efficient processors mean the phone takes less time before it goes back into a low powered mode. There's a strong correlation here.

Sure, but California, where PGE operates, is by far the biggest EV market in the US. Which makes the parents comments of

not necessarily true.
That's awesome to hear you were able to get something working.

And yes, 100% with you on this one. It's a very non-Rails like experience going to Turbo Native. You have to configure everything pretty much on your own and are left to figure it out by yourself for new things.

One of my goals is to fix this in the near future!
Its easy to point at what doesn't work well, there's tons and tons of things that work great that nobody talks about.

Municipal broadband: the best broadband in the entire United States is provided by the municipality of Chattanooga. [1]

Post: The USPS is the most trusted brand in the United States, above FedEx and UPS. [2]

Transit: The New York City Subway is the 3rd largest metro rail system on earth after London and Guangzhou. Ok fine, it's expensive to build - but it moved 1,300,000,000 people in 2021.

That's just three random ones.

That sounds like an interesting analysis, but I'm curious if this is one of those moments where economics around it will be deeply shifting over the next few years and any analysis will likely have to adjust frequently.

For instance, even before the remote work shift in 2020 many cities were heavily competing on conference and hotel space allocations for an interesting variety of economic reasons (tourism dollars that float alongside, for instance). As more "corporate Downtown" downsizes their office footprints to go more remote, some of that real estate inventory is going to go to apartments and condos, but also I would expect that there would be just as much pressure to convert it to hotels and conference space and WeWork-style hoteling office space.

I wonder if that's going to snowball into dirt cheap conference prices in a growing list of cities. Especially if you start to factor in non-traditional "hub" cities (especially those non-traditional for tech). I've heard that's an appeal of Denver, Colorado as an annual onsite retreat city for remote first orgs as it has a large conference and hotel inventory that still has some very cheap periods outside of the usual tourist periods. I can point out that cities like Louisville, KY and Indianapolis, IN have massive inventories of hotel and conference (and exposition) space with some incredibly cheap calendar windows and still heavily competing among each other for more hotel/conference inventory every year. (I can also suggest which of those two cities in particular has better tourism options, but that may as much be hometown bias, so I'll save it.)
True, but Gabe Newell owns over 50% of Valve so I'm guessing the pressure in this case is more limited.
Not sure what you mean here - our product does show up in the first position in Bing, it's just not our website, it's our listing on the VSCode marketplace. Our actual website doesn't even show up on Bing at all, irrespective of ranking.
I tend to agree, though on the flip side there's things like the octovalve, which is a construction that doesn't really exist on an ICEV. I think there are some trade-offs, though I expect that over the long haul we'll see that EVs are generally more reliable. For certain I think that the norm will be the battery lasting the life of the vehicle, and when it does get replaced it'll be about as bad as replacing the drivetrain in an ICEV. So a wash in that regard.
Airbnb wrote a few great blog posts about why they built a standardized metrics layer - I think this one gives better technical context on the "what" and "why" than this announcement does:

Twice to Larry Bird, Surely Jordan can't be the goat if he lost to Bird 2x in the very first round and not the finals?

You don't. It's widely discredited for comparing platforms. They also cherry picked JUST single core performance here (which has 0 bearing in any real life usage scenario).

JS-dependent sites are crawlable by bingbot, and Googlebot, and have been for years now. Otherwise, much of the modern web would be absent from search. Things can still happen, but it doesn't look like OP is doing anything unusual with rendering. If Google can crawl, I'd be surprised if Bing was entirely stumped (plus: meta descriptions).

> Having the page open also really slows down my laptop and constantly uses ~50%-75% CPU

OK here, for contrast: https://i.imgur.com/Qb2ux3o.png

On my own laptop, I see text in 100-200ms. A 3G connection on a simulated cheap mobile in Sao Paolo gets 2.3s: https://www.webpagetest.org/result/230209_AiDc5N_FKY/

These are both fine times: even a cheap device on a bad connection can get text rendering quickly. It's not a very taxing JS payload.
Do they?

I dont think every outlet in Europe can do the 20a to 30a at 240v that you'd expect for a car charger - just like most outlets here are rated for 15a at 120, most outlets in the UK are rated for 13a at 240 (and thats on a ring circuit fused for 40a, which may be shared with many other outlets) - its a difference of about 1320w (in Germany 10a outlets are common, which means even less, a mere 600w difference) in actual power delivery. Whereas a dedicated home charging ciruit in states will be 4800-7200w.

while yes, there is a difference, you dont know how many other devices that power line will pass, and it wont do in common space living situations where often exterior outlets are.. A) Shared and B) on the buildings meter, rather than the individuals.
Nationalization is different though. It's not possible for anyone to monopolize it

Yah that comment should be amended to: faster performance today means there’s no technical reason the phone couldn’t stick around for longer.

Of course the manufacturer could just choose to screw you over by not updating/not letting you update your self. But I mean there’s no way to account for bad behavior on the part of manufacturers (other than not doing business with them anymore of course).
DDG is powered by Bing, FWIW.
It is unfathomable to me that you believe living out of a car is privileged. I sleep on a camping mat that’s hard as a rock. I pissed in a bottle last night. My car cost under $3k and campsites are virtually free using DOC pass.

You are playing a bunch of semantic games to try and say "I wasn't TECHNICALLY wrong, as long as you redefine all of my words" but you're just serving up word salad.

So no, vaccines DO NOT CAUSE mutations. Mutations are a natural consequence of replication. Vaccines CAN cause FEWER mutations, as they reduce how much the virus can replicate inside you before your immune system clears it, reducing how many chances at mutation the population of covid viruses have.

There is a whole subculture of pilots seemingly trying to run around some of these regulations using "experimental" aircraft like the carbon cub: https://www.youtube.com/@TrentonPalmer/videos

I'd also encourage anyone here to check out Mike Patey: https://www.youtube.com/@MikePatey/videos

His current videos are about a really interesting and unique pool he is building at his house, but most of his stuff is about even cooler and even more unique airplanes he builds. He's an incredible engineer/hacker.

Yeah, it's important to note that all the money the insurance company pays for medicine is still coming from you and other policy holders, it's just in the form of a predictable monthly policy plan instead of a possibly very large unexpected bill. If the drugs were cheaper, you could get a cheaper insurance plan that offered the same quality of coverage. So extremely high insulin prices hurt you even if you personally don't take insulin.
Despite specifying what they did, it's still framed in a negative way
I get the impression that sabre/dav markets itself more as a platform on which one can build their own CalDAV/CardDAV applications.

I run it standalone, because I wanted a CalDAV system that could integrate with my local FreeIPA domain via LDAP. The only other project that met this requirement was davical [1], but it seemed much less active.

I ended up writing my own FreeIPA/LDAP authentication and principal backends [2] for sabre/dav. I believe they have a PDO backend built in, if you want to store your users in a database.

Basically, you composer install sabre/dav and wire all the components together in server.php. You'll also want to redirect the /.well-known/{caldav,carddav} URLs with a rewrite rule in your webserver. Most of this is described in their documentation [3].

If you're looking for turn-key solution with an administration GUI, you probably want Baikal [4], which is based on sabre/dav.

cheap, fast, saves planet: pick two?
Agreed, particularly in the states, we seem to be charging into electric cars by mandate when the infrastructure just doesnt exist for it. It doesnt have to be this way, we can mandate building the infrastructure too, or just outright pay for it - like 35% of americans live in apartments, they must be reasonably accommodated to help them with the transition. This doesnt even begin to touch on the issues rural places have with the electric revolution - again, all solvable problems that.. I think we're just assuming will solve themselves.

My largest frustration is, we're charging into electric cars in such a way that will leave the poor behind, and create a larger wealth gap. I genuinely worry that the poor will be priced out of automobile access in the states, and before anyone says "well, they shouldnt need a car" - the realistic truth is.. they do and there is a massive amount of capex and opex that must be spent to make it not so. In America, we have structured our world around personal transportation, and while we can change that, it will take a concerted effort and lots of money to do so.
Yeah someone else brought up webpage performance, which we will totally look into - definitely haven't fully tested on cheaper hardware. And wrt text, we have lots of blog posts, FAQ, etc to make sure that the term "codeium" amongst others appears a lot.

Encanto was quite good, Turning Red was Disney quality, not Pixar (I feel).

The problem with streaming is that you can stream repeatedly (believe me I know that) without incurring anything additional to Disney but costs. In the "old days" going to see Encanto in theaters would have cost our family easily $80+ - now that's just the cost for Disney+. And we would have gone, but why bother when it's available to stream?

They also cannot milk for MORE than the streaming cost/yr. I've noticed a lot of Encanto merchandizing on the clearance aisle, but I don't really have a way to track that.
I concede that bacteria may get introduced during final distribution.

I doubt they actually discover domains that way; for a search engine just knowing a domain exists isn't all that useful. Besides, loads of spam crawlers can find new domains plenty fast enough: create a brand new domain with a blank page and a brand new email address, link it once somewhere, and see how long it takes to get spam because some spam crawler bot found it.

As opposed to tossing an Android device into the landfill because it doesn't get any software support at all after a limited time?

> Six years is an awfully long life span for a mobile device, and certainly puts the 6S in the running for the longest supported phone to date. The iPhone 5S was five years old when it got its last OS update with iOS 12 but wasn’t eligible for iOS 13. On the Android side, Samsung has made recent moves to improve its device longevity by offering four years of security support for some of its phones. But six years of OS updates and security support puts the 6S in an entirely different league.

If so, please keep in mind that interviewers at big tech generally have to follow the HR script for interviewing. I have very little leeway as an interviewer in how to conduct the interview. I can select from a narrow group of problems, and I ask each candidate a couple of “soft skills” questions to gauge their level of experience, but the bulk of the interview still relies on their performance on the technical assessment.

As someone who was born and raised in the West, I think it's a little bit more than just valuing independence.

It's pretty common to see the older generation torpedo the relationship with their adult children by basically just abandoning them to work out the early stages of adulthood and marriage on their own.

Part of the problem is that this V8 engine is a 2x improvement. It's definitely an improvement, but a sub 10x improvement isn't enough to bring on a revolution. The article alludes to investors' lack of appetite for the risk, I suspect a larger improvement would convince them.

Which is quite subjective. I would say that a Mamiya 7, Fujichrome and drum scans easily match today's digital medium format. And I would say that 120 film is 'practically-sized.

4x5 transparency, good lenses and drum scanning is still unmatched in terms of overall image quality.
Job market recovery – best predictions for high tech? (for higher grades 6)

I took a trip to Fairbanks in February a few years ago. I was warned to plug in the engine block heater whenever I could. There were outlets many places. There was no charge for using the outlet but it was just the typical 110 volt US outlet.

If people would aim more for that kind of infrastructure - really slow but "too cheap to meter" - it would be more widespread. No need for the expensive upgrades to the electrical system, no need for cabinets with cooling systems, no internet, no computers at all.

You could put all the EV slots in one part of an apartment or shopping center parking lot, like now. It'd be nice if there was a proportional circuit breaker, so that if every EV was charging they'd get half charge instead of tripping the breaker.
Most employers provision ~100sq/ft per employee. In SF real estate goes for $50-$70 per sq/ft per month. Obviously there’s negotiating that happens.

The same exact thing happened to me last year. Before we moved, we checked with Comcast and the support agent told us they could provide service to our new home. Then after we moved, we called them to start service and they said we weren't within the area.
