> while 80% of people with EVs slow-charge at home

Suure... because 80% of people own a home where they can do heavy electrical modifications, and can afford the permits and the work.

Not sure where you think that is, but in USA that it not even remotely true.

That's a fair callout. But also they provided a one year migration timeline, let you keep using it if you already were, and gave you tools to easily migrate what you had left.

So I'd say if anything they increased trust by showing how to do it right.

And arguably that's a feature, not a product.
I can totally imagine a spinoff either to Oracle or IBM. Possibly Cisco as an outlier.

BTW I have to deal with Google Cloud as a “partner” and they’re a major pain in the ass - everything we do is mandated as custom, we have to come to them, etc - compared with their competitors who actually feel like partners. We’re always one Google reorg away from throwing away our efforts to be replaced with another goat rodeo.
I wonder what % of content is generated by old.reddit.com users, and what % from third party apps too. Figures not mentioned by Reddit mgmt so I'm assuming they don't favor their desires to end them.
Same. Got a van and converted to an RV. We don't need a large truck for our daily. The van only gets travel miles on it.
That doesn't absolve them of negligence. A crew hardly signs up to be killed.
But it's withstanding pressure(called external pressure, yesterday I learned), so can't they just have a clean, stepped flange to mate and to prevent slipping off, plus a simple lock to prevent unintended disengagement?
> It's really hard to find any kind of reliable data though, but in the absence of that I had to conclude it was just a gigantic scam.

Interesting! If I couldn't find reliable data, I'd have concluded that I didn't know.
My concern with some of these endavours is the opportunity cost to rescue services. Obviously, there is no question that if anyone is in danger in a remote location we should try our best to rescue them, but the corollary is that as a responsible citizen you should avoid putting yourself in situations where others have to go to great lengths to rescue you if it can be avoided.
Those use cheap diesel.

That's interesting that it might have an impact on plant life. What about animal? Whenever I hear about ULF/ELF, my mind immediately drifts to the Bryan Cranston "X-Files" episode "Drive" [1]:

> Mulder realizes that Crump is suffering from a painful sensation of pressure building in his head and that the only way to alleviate this pressure is to drive west. ... [Scully] then discovers a U.S. Navy antenna array emitting ELF waves stretches beneath their property. Scully deduces that an abnormal surge in these waves somehow caused a rising pressure in the inner ear of the nearby inhabitants. Westward motion and an increase in speed seem to be the only thing to help ease the pain of the increasing pressure

This stood out to me too. The article doesn't seem to touch on it, but I assume they have to ship more binaries to account for the vast variety of setups on Linux.
You’re right. Fuck the speed limit, I drive however I want. Speed limit 60? I drive 60 in the left lane where everyone else drives 80. The safest.

Better yet, since my car is old and I don’t maintain it, I will drive 50 on the highway in the middle lane so everyone has to drive around me.

Who gives a shit about other people anyways. Them driving faster than me is a problem but not the other way around.
As written it is vulnerable to shell injection. See the GitHub link at the very end for a fix.
I think using Electron is excusable if you are a startup, like you said your time is limited.

It's much less acceptable if you are Slack and still ship a slow bloated Electron app 10 years in.

"Most people no longer use gold as a store of value" may be true wherever you are, but not universally. The Times of India, for example, estimates than Indian households hold gold estimated at about 40% of annual GDP, and half of all households have purchased gold in the last two years.
The way I have been dealing with this is brushing up on my calculus, and probability theory, as well as matrix math, and filling in any holes in linear algebra I have, and then learning more about neural networks.

LLMs burst into more people's consciousness last year, but so did Stable Diffusion, so I have been finding neural networks in general more interesting. Once I get a better grasp of backpropagation etc. I'll see if I want to move on to learning about transformers and LLMs, or latent diffusion models, or both, or maybe some other type of neural network.

Iirc, you'd still get charged here if you weren't wearing a seatbelt even if the car was missing them. (based on my limited experience riding in the back of vans with no rear seats.)
Any ship needs to fly the flag of a country. They do so by registering with a country, following the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. By doing so, the ship has to follow the laws of the registered country.

If a ship or submarine does not register to any country, I think most coast guards will assume it to be pirates or drug smugglers. And they will probably surrender and arrest anyone on board or sink you if it comes to that.
I saw a video about that earlier. I think that part surprised me more than anything else. I was also surprised at just how close they would come to objects.

It sounds like the screens could be used as backup control mechanisms, but I wonder how much time they'd lose making that transition.
Mobile should be at the top of the roadmap, TBH. No mobile is a complete show-stopper.

I think it's commendable to build a chat alternative that is snappy. But right now, it's basically going to be a sync-ed mirror with Slack for everyone.

"It is actually kind of tricky to self host since there are quite a few services that needs set up and we could use quite a bit of work in our documentation." Uh... a second-degree showstopper for people looking for Slack alternatives. We have one-click deploys for rocket.chat and Zulip on digital ocean, vercel, render, etc.

Where do you believe your adoption will come from? I ask this sincerely. What is the burning pain that will lead people to adopt linen right now?

The whole "SEO" your community is such a red herring in my opinion. There are already many Discord, Slack, etc. bots that make public discussions readable and indexable. And LLM-integrated bots that automatically summarize discussions.

Why not prioritize what's really needed in this space:
a) Super easy self hosting. Make the devops/infra team happy.
b) Super snappy chat clients on desktop AND mobile. Make the users much happier than the alternatives.
c) API compatability with Slack, maybe also Zulip and rocket.chat. Make the devs happy and eat the lunch of your competitors by making it super easy to port apps to linen. (And, get SEO + autosummarization features for FREE)
The major benefit to Tesla here is that it pushes most of the costs of unifying the continent on a single standard upon third party charging networks. Ford and GM have minimal exposure to that, so they don't care, and it saves Tesla a lot of future heartache.

And it's a sensible move if you care about e-waste, given that there are far more NACS vehicles and NACS charging stalls in than CCS1 vehicles and CCS1 charging stalls. (And that contrast becomes even more extreme if you assume that the thousands of unreliable CCS1 stalls would be getting scrapped anyway.)

Meanwhile Nissan and Mitsubishi are still selling brand new cars with CHAdeMO plugs. So much for it being a universal standard.
It's probably less about being light weight and more about high yield strength.
More than the shutdown itself, the lack of any communications from Google has been frustrating. It gives the sense that this is a complete shitshow internally. Nobody seems to have an official answer on the fate of Cloud Domains, which is marketed as a separate product but runs on the same infrastructure (Gergely’s thread says insiders have been told that it is also going away).
In such a truly free world, you might have to check every piece of chicken for salmonella contamination. You might have to stop your truck at every turn to see if people are racing from the opposite direction. You might not be very sure that your alcohol is not actually methanol....

muscle strength peaks at 25, this is a well known fact. Likelihood of crashing a car or doing something stupid with a car drops sharply as you mature to 30. This is common knowledge and is easilly verified.

If you want to take that immune system analogy to the logical conclusion that I see, its this: An immune response can be good or in some cases very bad. Entitlement mentality creating an assumption of exploitation where one doesn’t actually exist feels to me is more akin to a allergic response or an autoimmune response which creates a harm more than a help. It’s an inappropriate response.
It also lowers serum leptin levels, which the body can interpret as "I'm starving" and send some strong signals to binge on food and stop moving around so much.
Yes, but I've found LMQL equally impressive. It has a much better documentation than Guidance.
This is not the general public, this is a few adventurers. Very different.

Also, desiring to give up power to an authority is authoritarianism (at least according to Oxford):
“ the enforcement or advocacy of strict obedience to authority at the expense of personal freedom.”
No.

Consumers/the general public are less aware of the risk, and as another reply said more likely to trust a company on it's safety. They aren't marine engineers so they have to. That's why it's a regulated industry.

Researches are making an entirely different risk/benefit calculation and it's useful to society that they can make different risk tradeoffs. Key example, astronauts.

In that is an implication that research is more important to society than a holiday activity.
Actually particularly shocking that they've sold Google Domains to SquareSpace. I couldn't think of a less aligned company. They deal with novice end users who want to make web sites with minimum technical knowledge but give them premium support. Meanwhile Google Cloud's ideal customers (generally) are engineering heavy, people who want to automate everything with APIs and manage seamless automated operations, but are happy with support from a python script.

The best I can think is that maybe Google did that analysis and found that all the customers for Google Domains were high maintenance novice users so it made sense to sell it off to a business designed to support them?

The labour was free - the tools required were not. That's a miniscule cost compared to the labour if they _actually_ had to pay for it.
I think you missed the point. The cost is how hard it is to make changes because of not breaking all those tests on legacy code.
Genuinely, Washington drivers are terrible. Especially those in King county.
It's clean because they don't need to obfuscate anything to avoid people blocking ads.
It's one thing for them to take the risk for themselves, but it's a whole other level selling to others. For example, if someone wants to drink a refreshing glass of strychnine soda, it's hard to stop them. But opening a stand and selling at the street corner is a bit different.
The difference is scale and ability to measure risk. We know how to make chicken safe and a lot of people eat it, so regulation works well.

For subs, it is a tiny number of people and risks are nearly impossible to assess.

This is something I've never understood. I would expect Chrome OS to be more like Linux or Windows, with a support cycle dictated by the software (including drivers) not the hardware.

Instead, it's more like Android.
That's because much of the Supercharger network was deployed with the assumption of only supporting Tesla vehicles. If any third party charging network deployed NACS fast charging stalls in your area, they would absolutely be compatible with any CCS1 vehicle with an adapter.
I remember being annoyed on the 2nd day of Econ class when the prof mentioned that empirically we know human preference graphs can be cyclic but we have to pretend that's not true for any micro to work at all.

I have literally never heard of this before… I’d appreciate some links from anyone that knows more because my google results give me nothing but multivitamin and supplement spam/listicles when I try to search anything even close to histamine and food, and it’s also not easy to pick out relevant academic sources when histamines are researched as part of food anaphylaxis so I’ve got a mountain of non-relevant material to sift through there.

If anyone has more information on this I’d be very interested to read it, because it’s landed firmly in the area of … sounds legitimate, but could also be modern “old wives tale” type of stuff where people just say it because it sounds scientific enough to be true and no one has ever researched it because it’s obviously wrong scientifically speaking but is addressed by unrelated fundamental knowledge in a scientific field Im not knowledgeable about such as industrial scale food science or something else.

So yeah would greatly appreciate anything more knowledgeable people on the topic can share, this little throw away line nerd sniped me.

What do you mean by "holding everyone up?" I'm constantly self conscious about this.

I refuse to drive more than 5mph above the speed limit after a particular incident a few years back. I drive quite a bit on a 3 lane 75mph highway. Consistently, I'll end up behind someone who doesn't know what speed they want to go in the middle lane, something between 65mph and 75mph. They're mostly 18 wheelers. I'll usually move over to the passing lane and go between 75mph and 80mph until I pass them.

Inevitably, there's some asshole that wants to go 90mph that appears out of the ether as soon as I start passing. They always want to be less than a second behind me, and never seem to understand that I want to keep at least 3s between me and the car in front. I always imagine they're saying the same thing you're saying in their heads.
In the context of programming language design, a lisp like Clojure would be simple if you ignored all the java things. Haskell is a simple-ish language (despite popular misconceptions).

For me, “simple” needs to be distinguished from “familiar”. Most of the time, people think whatever is familiar is simple, but that just makes the word “simple” less useful. The von Neumann style of programming introduces tremendous complexity.

I would probably agree that C is simple in design. I’m not sure, because I’m not extremely proficient in it, but I think I agree. Although it has tons of complexities in practical use… So perhaps it’s easier to speak of (and compare) the simplicity of higher-level languages.
This article is disappointing.

It’s mostly about BART and the various conversations on how to save it, with a few other anecdotes about cities cutting routes or experimenting with lower fares.

That’s not exactly reinventing themselves.

The biggest candidate for “reinvention” is the Chicago suburban rail network (Metra), which voted on and approved a change from being “commuter rail” to being “regional transportation” - almost akin to being an Amtrak competitor at the regional level. There are something like 4 different cities outside Metra’s operating zone that are exploring the possibility of getting connected into the network - two of which are in Wisconsin and two in Illinois.
Not even a banner on the domains console for me, you have to go to the support site before you see anything.

If you use Chrome, YouTube Shorts Block [1] is a good extension for that, and removes (mostly) Shorts videos. Not perfect, still leaves some traces (e.g. empty spaces, channel titles in subscriptions), but it helps to declutter your user experience.

And while we're talking about extensions to customize your YT experience, here's three more that I really enjoy:

- Clickbait Remover [2], to remove the usually clickbait-ish video thumbnails

- Unhook [3], to remove the recommended videos entirely. This extension helped me reduce the time spent on YT. I now browse recommendations on my phone much more quickly, add what I want to check out to Watch Later queue, so on desktop I only search, check subscriptions, or consume my WL queue

- Video Speed Controller [4]. This one is super popular, so probably you already have it installed.

> Is crucial to... what?

Before that the sentence was like this:
"The crucial metric we should keep an eye on is the amount of cognitive load we need to build in our brains in order to understand the code and deliver value."

So it's crucial in general. It seems I should rework the sentence for clarity.
After reading this, I'm also reminded of (among other things) one of the points that Paul Graham made in "Lies We Tell Kids"[1]:

> You can't distinguish your group by doing things that are rational, and believing things that are true. If you want to set yourself apart from other people, you have to do things that are arbitrary, and believe things that are false.

"Stupidity" seems so strongly associated with a motivation to identify with a particular group, in almost exactly the sense that I understand the old Sinclair quote about what a man will and won't understand when his salary is involved, that
I wonder now if "stupidity" as a phenomenon is JUST social signalling to demonstrate group association. Or does it has aspects beyond social conformity?

I imagine it will initially be migrated to SquareSpace hosted services for your interaction that you then use your Google account to oauth into, so a pretty seamless transfer from the end-user perspective.

Likely the total transition will take over a year to complete. You will probably get a notification a few months after the transfer of control that the registrar name is changing and you dont need to do anything but make sure your contact info is up to date. At some point, probably 2-3 years down the line, domains.google will cease redirecting to SquareSpace domains.
