> Many will be amazed to learn that Nic Thomas, Nissan’s marketing director for the UK, told Forbes recently, “Almost all of the [EV] batteries we’ve ever made are still in cars, and we’ve been selling electric cars for 12 years. We haven’t got a great big stock of batteries that we can convert into something else,” he added. “It’s the complete opposite of what people feared when we first launched EVs — that the batteries would only last a short time.”

> In fact, many EV batteries may outlast the vehicles they are installed in, then enjoy a second life in a stationary storage application before finally being recycled, according to EVANNEX. “At the end of the vehicle’s life — 15 or 20 years down the road — you take the battery out of the car and it’s still healthy with perhaps 60 or 70% of usable charge,” Thomas said.

> “It’s more sustainable to take the battery pack out of the car after 20 years, recycle the car, and reuse the battery. By far the easiest thing to do is take the complete battery out of the vehicle, put it in a shipping container in a rack, and plug that into a solar farm.”

Can’t speak to a Leaf, but I have fast DC charged my 2018 Model S almost exclusively over the last 100k miles and its pack has degraded only 6%.
> If thse are DIV what they hell are you setting tabindex — a value for focusable elements — on them for?

Seems to be because in the original example each of the divs have an 'onClick' assigned to them, so 'tabindex' is the right way to make them focusable by a keyboard user.

How could it not if it does for smaller masses? What is the theory for the difference?
Yep, like the olden days where the only people “in the know” knew Latin. Or, before that, Greek.

Then someone had to come along and invent the printing press.

Isn't it already, if you can just buy a CPAP machine off the shelf?
Just curious what makes you suspect that now? When 4 years first crossed the six-figure boundary, people were in shock and said the rising costs couldn't continue. Same when tuition averages exceeded $50,000 per year. What, in your eyes, makes today any different?
> * M1, Pro, Max were so good that people will wait for M3 or M4 to upgrade again. I'm in this camp.

This is me. I was dominating a 13" mbp m1 base model in startup mode for almost two years. I only upgraded to a 16" mbp m1 base model for the larger screen and higher refresh rate. The moment they release m3 or m4 or whatever without the display notch and even more improvements, I'll upgrade.

I'm fully expecting both my 13" and 16" m1 machines to still be almost as productive as I need them to be in a couple years...but this alien technology deserves to be purchased.
"You answered your own question there. Apple doesn't used "commodity" SSD storage."

what a weaird thing to say...

So.. tell us.. where does apple get its SSD's if it is not "commodity"? Do they have their own SSD factory?

Then you write "Apple's SSDs are enterprise-grade"... So like "commodity" right? Meaning others can buy "enterprise grade" SSD's and upgrade their non-apple laptops wtih them if they wanted to?
I think the 'grind it up and use chemistry to extract the valuable bits' is the future of recycling.

The reality is that lifespans of products is so long (eg. 30+ years) that no recycling process wants to be built to fit standard mechanical designs from 30 years ago... and 20 years ago... and 10 years ago... Multiply by the number of different designs from different companies and different countries (even with regulation, it is unlikely we would get one global mechanically recyclable design).

If process chemists can't extract everything, then you plasma-ionize what's left and now you just have plain old elements to deal with.
Don't assume so much about someone off of so little available information.
The theorem a/b * c/d = ac/bd doesn't hold if x/0 = 6, though.

The theorem prover HOL Light is a close cousin of Isabelle/HOL and doesn't adopt this, and just says that x/0 is some unspecified number. You can't prove much interesting about it. You can prove, say, that x/0 * 0 = 0, but you can't prove whether or not x/0 is, say, positive or not.

If you prefer null, there was a logic that allowed for undefined terms and partial functions that became the basis of the IMPS theorem prover. I found it most notable for the fact that it doesn't have reflexivity of equality: 1/0 = 1/0 is false in IMPS.

That is the "best case" benchmarks. The "worst case" benchmarks are of the Linux kernel repository.

why would you bother with the overhead to make it Palm-compatible though? at most, an emulation subsystem might make sense, but having all things including new development run in a Palm-compatible system right now makes no sense.

Note that it wouldn't even be a dumbphone by definition if it has an OS running arbitrarily installed software on it.

Eh... I've talked to RT's and the occasional pulmonologist enough about ventilators out of idle curiosity to learn that the pressures involved do need to be carefully set within certain envelopes to minimize risks, and I'm not quite as confident as you are in this statement.

OpenBSD was fairly anti-POSIX in the past. I don't know if that's relaxed at all, but they very much do not chase after it.
IANAP - why are these ideas so controversial? The article seems to suggest he has some (potentially) supporting evidence, and I don't have an intuition for how damning the counter-argument is ("This would necessitate making all particles lose mass as the universe gets old." Again, IANAP and physics can get weird).

In the US, I went in for a sleep study and had to fight for it. "You're not obese or old" yes but both my parents (admittedly old, but not obese) have CPAPs, and my wife says I stop breathing at night. "Are you sure?" Well, sir, that's why I would like to do a study.

I had an overnight sleep study scheduled several weeks later, during which time my insurance provider at work changed, and I had to do the process again, and this time only got a take home kit, and just missed the criteria for getting a CPAP.

Years later I went looking for alternate routes, which means paying out of pocket for a CPAP and accessories... But sleeping better and being more healthy.

I think the implication is that the retail index investors will end up doing worse.

One thought experiment is if being part of an index confers additional perceived value, the addition or removal from it index is an Arbitrage opportunity.

Imagine trading against someone who will reliably pay a premium for an index of "top 10 stocks". Price will spike for a stock that goes from #11 to 10, and drop for every stock that goes from 10 to 11.

Index investors will overpay for a newly listed stock and that money will go to an active investor that held it before the listing. Inversely, index investors will lose money whenever a stock is removed from the index.
Ventilator != CPAP machine
Because the conditions for the universe to allow for this configuration of matter existed before man.

Humans, a product of the universe itself, just discovered or found a way to configure matter this way.

Great question though and one I like to ponder myself.

Like the logic to describe math itself is put down by humans but that that logic is able to exist at all for humans to discover or exlore is perplexing.
I'd guess none for human-scale masses, but lots of evidence from particle accelerators of electrons having huge mass/energies.
The mathiness of it is, admittedly, a touch tongue in cheek. But the underlying philosophy stands: Despite there being as many different views on "What do I value" as there are people, it's hard to construct a value system where sitting on the couch isn't paying a significant opportunity cost, unless you axiomatically take sitting on the couch as the greatest good there is.
I earned a degree in economics, business & management.. But it doesn't matter much.

Re-reading my post, it looks like I could have written it better.

I was referring to the stimulus spending, in particular the last one or two huge packages. It might have been more efficient to not do them in the first place. At the time many economists were very concerned about the overall effects on the economy. We were already running at 5+% annualized inflation, right?

I understand the general ideas behind Modern Monetary Theory, that it looks like you and the original post are referring to. Wild spending corrected by surgical taxation...

MMT sounds great in academic papers, but it runs into problems in practice. We can't just raise taxes wherever and whenever we want. There are too many problems to list with attempting to do that, from the lobbyists, to officials wanting to get reelected, to the errors of misidentifying where the taxes are to be applied. Not to mention all the existing laws around taxing.

It's expensive to send out a bunch of money, and then tax it back... I suggest that it's more efficient to spend less. But I realize there is a fat chance of that ever happening!
Same, but I'll name drop: it was from a shitty Radio Shack pencil iron to the HAKKO.
I don't understand what you expect me to take from this by your sharing of it.
> stationary storage that will eventually EOL

I suspect stationary storage will never EOL. Even after tens of thousands of recharge cycles, the battery can still store some energy, perhaps just 10% of the design capacity, but thats still worth something so it's still worth running.

The only time it is worth throwing out is if the land is valuable and you need it for another project.

This does depend on there not being much 'parasitic load' - ie. fans and pumps which run 24x7 which cost money to run even when they aren't really needed when the battery capacity and charge/discharge speed is really low.
I myself am partial to the Latter-day Saint teaching that matter/energy has always existed (and forever will exist) and that the creation of the world involved "organizing" existing matter in an iterative process. That matches the pattern of creation I've experienced myself where I take something that already exists and iterate on it until it is in a refined state that I desire.

I find it hard to believe that the mindboggling complexity of protein machinery was purely accidental/probabilistic. I understand how evolution works, and it makes sense, but... to me at least, it seems more likely that there was a creative iterative process that "guided" matter towards the evolutionary system we have on earth vs lightning striking an ocean full of amino acids and DNA/cells/proteins coincidentally arranging in the right configuration to jump start evolution.
Getting to the root causes is often preferable.

For example if your air quality is bad and/or ventilation is bad and may cause sleep apnea (like high CO2 concentration often makes you feel drowsy).

But the seller of CPAP machine will not monitor your air environment.

With medical problems there are often multiple factors, and when a solution is found that fix the symptoms, care is no longer taken to find the other causes, specially if the solution is generating recurring revenues.

Have you seen the trends the US is moving towards?

I think you are writing off this quote too early. Also, the US has gone though this cycle before. When things got near the breaking point the elites threw some crumbs to the rest(eg. Social Security, Medicare).

>"After the dictatorship of the proletariat the organs of the state will naturally fade away." Yet everytime the proletariat gets into power it seems that the organs of the state only strengthen.

We've never really hit this point in the west because of reasons said above.

>"I shouldn't have to work other people should pay for me to continue to live." It turns out Karl never had a job, and spent most of his life mooching off of others, exactly as he accused the capitalists of doing.

You could argue Automation is paying capitalists elites to continue to live. Just spread more of that wealth around.

Me it reminds of that guy who DIY genetically modified a virus to cure his lactose intolerance (for a year).
His content suffers from the library size being large. I doubt in one sitting he’d suggest everything to a person all at once. I have adopted my own “stack” which works for me and many of the items I take work for me. So should anyone else who is interested in supplements. They should start slow and try to measure what works. They should periodically take breaks.

Those are controversial because in science you show the proof of something occruring, an primary proof being shown here mostly anounts to „trust me bro, the guy saying this got a nobel award in physics”. But the fault here is on media reporting, not Penrose himself.
Only reads can be distributed, and because of datomic's performance you will reach for them way sooner than with something like postgres.

> What proof does the physicist have for this theory he dubbed “conformal cyclic cosmology” (CCC) that goes against the current Big Bang dogma?

It doesn't go against the current "dogma", as the Big Bang theory only covers history up until a fraction of a second after the big bang. Anything before that is basically fair game, even though some ideas are further out there than others.

Penrose admits it's a "crazy idea of his", and that's fine. He's looking for evidence and not just speculating. It's much less out there than Hossenfelder's thoughts about FTL travel in her video from yesterday. And not even remotely comparable to Linus Paulings musings about vitamins.
> As a manager you are seen as the default main character of your team.

In my entire career I have never known anyone who viewed managers this way.

The best managers I've known have been viewed as great supporters of the team, people that advocate for you, get you the resources you need, and help run interference with leadership.

The vast majority, from the "meh" to the horrid have been viewed by the team mostly as obstacles in hero's journey to solving problems and shipping products.

And that's only from the IC perspective. From the leadership team perspective the view of manager ranges from seeing them as useful goons that keep lazy workers in line to, in the best cases, people who might be able to rise through the ranks to approach, but never quite reach, their level.

But I've never, ever encounter people who think of a manager a the "main character".
> You are obviously not the target audience for this article

That's a bit of a cop-out. If someone else wrote a letter into the wire-cutter asking about the best skim-milk, and the response was that skim milk is nutritionally inferior to whole-milk, so you should at least buy 2% milk if you aren't going to buy whole, and I actually want skim-milk, am I "not the target audience" for the article?

> The also are not going to put high-quality panels in any "dumb" TVs they do deign to manufacture

I don't know how it currently is, but it used to be that there were far fewer panel manufacturers than companies selling TVs, so anyone with enough volume could make a TV, so this is only true if "they" encompasses all possible TV manufacturers.
I have been using greyscale mode on my Android phone for number of years (starting when it was only available through dev console). It is very interesting cognitive experience. I learned very quickly that colors drive a lot of context that I usually don't pay attention to. I wouldn't say that I have been using phone less, because of the greyscale mode. Give it a try, maybe you will like it.

No, just the opposite here. I started getting grey in my beard a decade or more ago, but still mostly not grey hair on my head. I'm a little surprised actually, given that I'll turn 50 very soon. That said, if my experience is anything like my dad's, I expect to go fully grey very quickly once it starts.
i don't think they're actually advocating for micromanaging, they've just redefined training/mentorship as "good micromanaging":

Same with me but PTSD. Like the fact that I'm remarkably functional in crisis mode doesn't mean that it's not a problem I live there all the time. A surprising amount of medicine relies on having a stable baseline against which to compare and if that's not there, the tests don't work.
You're conflating a ton of unrelated issues.

Florida has more than enough budget to perform serious mitigation work if they want to.

If I did my math right, Florida has a budget of $112b against a population of 22m and an area of 170,000 km2. Or ~$5,000/pp or ~$660,000/km2.

As an example, Texas has a budget of $250b against a population of 29m and an area of 700,000 km2. Or ~$8,600/pp or ~$360,000/km2.

Add in the amount of Florida services funded through Medicare and Social Security, and it seems normal. Certainly not poor by any means.
That's true for the memory (RAM), but not the storage (SSD). Socketed SSDs are just as fast and almost as light as soldered, and there is no good technical reason why they shouldn't be upgradable for a long time.

I'm in the market for a new Mac. I'm currently using a late 2013 15-inch Retina as my trusty friend. If the M2 Max came with socketed SSD I'd buy it today with the 96GB RAM and max spec in every other regard, despite the price being nearly double what I paid for my current machine 9.5 years ago.

But because the SSD is soldered on, expensive and non-upgradable, and I'm always running out of space, and I want to be able to work with some large models, databases and VMs, I need to plan ahead the next 5 years in terabytes. Ensuring enough storage headroom for potential future use takes the price to a level where it's a major commitment I'll have to stick with for years, so I decided to wait and see what comes out later this year instead.

So count me as one of the potential M2 customers who was excited to get one, then after a long wait last year for the M2 MBPs to come out, and a long period of deciding which model to get after they came out, in the end decided to wait, with the unnecessarily soldered-in, non-upgradable SSDs being a factor in why.

(I have some other doubts: When I tried in store, the keyboard on the M2 MBPs is not as nice to type on compared with the 2013 model, and the trackpad is annoyingly large, and prone to triggering tap-to-touch from my hands while typing, and click-to-touch is not my preference. But those aren't bad enough to affect my purchasing decision, as long as the M1/M2 processors are still well ahead of the rest.)

steel recycling has the same concern.

Sure, you can rip apart a building and say "ooh, thats a nice steel beam - we could reuse that for another building, or cut it into sheets to roll flat into something else"... But it is cheaper and easier just to chuck it into a furnace and melt it down and start from scratch.
