> Now you have to target highly mobile devices with small batteries traveling at high speed in metal tubes connecting to unreliable networks.

In another comment[1], I called your earlier characterization a motte-and-bailey[2]. I'd wager it was probably not deliberate in that case. I have to think, though, that you're at least aware of how intellectually dishonest this move is.

Compare like for like. The existence of my phone, running a completely different system and set of applications, has _no_ bearing on how responsive to input an entirely separate machine in a traditional laptop/desktop form factor is or explain why the state of things should have degraded over the last ~10–20 years.

Looks like you are trying to respond to be without understanding the topic first and your above comment does not relate.

My reply was to this comment which said:

1. "The ban on crop burning (main cause of Delhi's pollution) was central to the farm bill"

2. "We do not vote for Presidents in India. The president was selected by the ruling party"

Can you please let me know how any of above 2 statements are correct?

Also, to your other comment:
>> There's a reason why Meta, Google and Aramco want to pour money into the country.

Companies like Meta, Google and Aramco invest and try to invest in all the counties for their own growth. This is also to target the huge population of India. These companies also invested in China, that does not make China any better. Can you please share a source for "infrastructure growth and economic policies have caught pace"?
Sweden is doing a lot of good functional experiments and practical research leaning on much of existing tech. Like this experiment with electrified roads to help address EV truck range limits: https://www.carscoops.com/2023/05/sweden-will-open-the-world...

The E16 experiment looked really promising and would rely on all existing tech (contactors on power lines, like the old trolley buses of old) and hybrid power plant for last mile: https://www.iea.org/policies/7162-electric-highway-demonstra...

Can’t find any reported results of this, but seems small in scale (100km). The concept solves the range problem. Imagine for example in California to have these along the 5? Now you can move things from Los Angeles to Seattle without needing to recharge. Add to it some driver assists and you have a much safer and more efficient transportation system which is as clean as the electric grid. Then you can provide financial incentives to travel in off peak demand times, etc.
Great idea to put things where dogs pee and poop.
I think this is close to fraud, they should be required to state the performance per Watt.

40% performance gain is ZERO if you have to feed it 40% more electricity.
When I tried phones and tablets were positive for "any-pointer" (not good!). From my tests the most reliable way to check for a mouse/track point/track pad are (pointer: fine) and (not (hover: none).

Personally, as a user, I don't like a menu that take the whole page when on a desktop, I find a top bar or a hamburger work much better, but those don't work with a small enough screen and without a pointer device (mobile devices), where a vertical menu with big buttons is more appropriate.

But I'm not a UX specialist nor a designer, so this is what I suggest but obviously follow their specs.

A figure that I've seen bandied about is that there are 17 states that have already adopted rules based on some portion of the CARB advanced clean transportation rules, and that those states represent I think 35% of the population and 50% of the economic activity in the US. That is less definitive than saying that all of these states will adopt the same rules (like the most recent Advanced Clean Fleets rule). But it's still enough that fleet operators, government procurement officers, and vehicle manufacturers are investing in zero emission vehicles and infrastructure faster than they would without those regulations.
Most Type 2 (AC charging of 3,7 to 22kW) chargers expect you to have your own with the car. Pretty much everyone has one in their car.
True. I was actually looking at Render a while back to host my app. The Render Disks were the one feature I was most interested in, as no other PaaS provider I was aware of provided persistent disk storage. The prices were a bit too much for a side-project though, and with no managed MongoDB, I ultimately made the app not require the disk storage and moved to Railway.

My sense is that this is a personality/neurological difference. Some people are more prone to metacognitive modes of thought. I'm not sure on the whole it's an advantage. It allows you to see stuff like this, but I think it can also make people prone to indecision, depression, etc.

> I’ll risk it and defend marriage to this crowd

It's not this crowd you should be defending against - it's the profiteers. Extraction of profits has been elevated above everything else and I feel the social contract between industry and individuals has been violated. Salaries are depressed and everything is so expensive, people need to have worked-out a decent-paying career before they consider getting married and/or kids, so people are getting married later in life, or not getting married at all because the dating pool gets shallower with age.

The societal effects of over-extracting profits are ging to be catastrophic, but short-termism is now built-in.
There are certain models which have a sixth stage to remineralize the water and balance the pH.

Also relying on municipal water for mineralization is a bad argument. The minerals in water supplies is highly localized, or drinking tap water could leave you deficient in one or more minerals depending just depending on where you live.

You are partially correct, but I think the value is not in generating a draft for the radiologist to review, but to take a radiologists “raw” dictation, which pertains only to relevant findings in a case, and transform that into a complete, well formatted report. This is what scribes do in lots of different medical specialties, and save a ton of time. In my experience, reviewing pre drafted reports, as from residents, can often make my job slower rather than faster, as you have to read the whole thing to know what needs editing.

Also, at least in my practice, I would double the number of CTs read in an average day :)
A few things of note:
1. Fuel prices are much higher in the EU, especially in the Nordics due to disincentive taxes (US gas is practically free in comparison), and we simultaneously have vast deployments of renewables and a EU-wide energy exchange that make energy cheaper (heck, electricity cost was negative again today in Denmark). This means that the EV benefit is much greater here. The US really should get their tax game together here...

2. Refueling of long-distance trucks over here are usually done in few, large highway locations that include sleeping areas to comply with driving time limits, and not city gas stations. Fewer locations to equip, making it easier to upgrade for fast charging.

3. Our 18-wheelers are usually smaller and lighter, and while road trains are used in e.g. Sweden, those are only for long-haul with the associated lower tire wear of driving at a constant speed and angle. Short-haul is usually just a light 3-axle box euro truck. But yes, there will be an increased tire-wear which offsets the fuel savings a bit.
Not necessarily. You can optimize for the majority, but still keep things functional for everyone else.
I would assume that any vendor is keeping convo history to improve their models and is unlikely to allow opt out at this point
What keeps me bullish about Tesla is that when I put "self driving" into YouTube, I see an endless stream of videos made by normal people, filming their own Teslas actually doing self driving.

No other manufacturer has gotten there yet. The cars are either geofenced or there are only marketing videos available.

So I take it, that Tesla does have a technical advantage of some sorts.

Considering how big the market for self driving is, I think the advantage in this field is worth the $500B market cap they have.
>> The West is so pristine it doesn't arrest protesters at all. Nor do Government agencies kill people randomly. Nor does it indulge in assassinations...

Classic Example of whataboutery.
It'd be awesome if we could get the utilization ratio up. Any given section of highway has a vehicle over it let's say 1% of the time. Rail's utilization factor has got to be 1% of that.

My Sci fi dream is carrier trains, where a car is disaggregated into a pod and a skateboard. But one can drive their vehicle to a train & the pod comes off & mounts onto the train with standard mounting & then gets dropped back onto a rental skateboard at the destination.

Or maybe if we had right sized e-transit with ebikes & small e-cars, we could just ride on/off regular trains, quickly & efficiently.
Indeed. And the change to post-industrial is one of the factors leading to fewer children.
Or retooling the overall transportation infrastructure?

Yes, pollution is bad. Diesel trucks are a highly visible form. However, there are too many unknowns for these sweeping statements about 'true' costs to be taken seriously. It is another example of the economic calculation problem.

Try as they might, researchers can't sit in a bureau and come up with figures to plan an economy with.

The only way you can get good at system design is by actually designing and implementing a system in your current job. Trust me, I have been trying to learn this from books but it doesnt help at all. But since one year I have been working indepedently on a new project where I had to make a number of design decisions that helped me learn a lot. DDIA is very good resource but doesnt help you design big systems. Only your current work can help you there.

So keep looking for new projects are your current job where you can lead a project on your own.

> diesel is nosebleed higher than gasoline in California this year, a disaster for businesses and tradesmen

Diesel at the pump in California costs about 10% more than regular gas, and contains 20% more energy (volumetrically) so it's ~10% cheaper than gas. At the peak of last year's fuel price spike, diesel in California was $7.011 and regular gas was $6.438, a 9% difference, still in favor of diesel.

The rest of your collection of sentence fragments is also a bunch of nonsense, but this is the easiest factual point to rebut.
Imo absolutely. Work has always been just that. You give your hours for pay. If coworkers are not aholes that is a reasonable bar. Instead you infuse words like impact and family in your working relationships you suddenly have this dynamic tensing towards Stockholm syndrome and passive aggressiveness where everyone smiles and no one is happy (except the sociopaths may be?).

Yes, you can run the services inside your own infra (AWS/AZURE/GC and on-prem bare metal), I think I should make that more clear on the page and maybe the post so this is clarified, thanks for the question and feedback!

Yes, but I for one welcome the volatile electricity price swings in the Nordics. Electricity cost was negative today in Denmark. Yay for renewable energy.

Despite attempts to artificially stabilize oil prices, volatility there does not spark quite the same joy. Marie Kondo would trash it in an instant.

The nonprofit hospice I - and a few people I know - have dealt with a few times over the years has an excellent reputation and lives up to it. I'm not familiar with all their operations, obviously, but I don't think it could even function as a branch of a large for-profit corporation, let alone as part of the government.

> In many instances I feel nonprofits end up acting like cat's paws for their donors. May not apply to hospice care.

There are ways I could see a hospice service getting fucked up in that way, by influence wielded by its donors (if a large amount of donations came from a single religious sect that wanted to impose its ways on end of life care, or something) but the difference is that I'd view a large for-profit corporation fucking it up as inevitable. The use of a benefit corporation might help with that, possibly, with the right leadership.

You also need to do multiple system design interviews. Yes, you might be able to game it, but I doubt you could game it and still be an incompetent programmer. You also wouldn't be able to keep that job very long, given the way performance reviews tend to be done.

Clean - yes. Working with CF Workers was (and I think still is) a joy. However, I'm curious if, with this many features that are mostly unique to CF, will there be a feeling of vendor lock-in when developing more complex apps? Serverless functions can be usually moved back and forth pretty easily, but if you become dependent on CF-specific features how hard will it be to migrate if there comes a need to?

From the Wikipedia link, "Westsplaining" is about characterizing the situation in Ukraine as a US-Russia great-powers conflict (Russia vs. the West), and how that denies and ignores the role of the Ukrainian people for self-determination.

But from your comments, you seem to be interested more in the Russian narrative which similarly denies Ukrainian self-determination.

So it actually seems that you yourself are part of the "Westsplaining" problem. In contrast, YouTube is ensuring that Russian disinformation about what's happening in Ukraine isn't crowding out Ukrainian's own voices and testimony.

I'm not saying whether YouTube's policies are good or bad, but they certainly are not a version of "Westsplaining". It's the exact opposite, in fact.
I think you entirely missed my point. Because there is no compiler they have to upload something.

With a compiler they can compile something locally which is easier to do.
So many people without understanding. Perhaps we need a tonne of different approaches?
What if it was always allowed to do compile time, but you could add a keyword to assert it did (like force-inline).

That way you get benefits by default. Whereas right now it's not allowed to.
Then you overbuild the pack. The criticism of the new EV hummer's pack is an example, and it didn't even need swappability, is just trying to get the batteries to stay adequately in place. https://insideevs.com/news/668428/hummer-ev-battery-teardown...

Imo rigidity still feels like a semi bullshit gripe though. A lift should be able to rise up under the vehicle and uniformly support the batteries. The vehicle can then let them go. I imagine the batteries more or less suspended underneath the vehicle in this configuration, with a latching mechanism holding them up. Some cross bracing to provide structure.

Making sure the batteries stay attached though, that they don't give flying in a crash, is a significant & obvious problem though, now that I think of it.
