Good question. They'll be understandably unhappy that their competitive advantage is being muscled away. I worry about the future innovation that was planned for these companies that are moving from CCS to Tesla, as adopting it really does put an upper bound on charge speeds. Definitely a big win for Tesla across the board.

The study with abstract is here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32673591/
Human beings have poured billions of tons of concrete into infrastructure that is designed for the climate to be the way it was in the twentieth century (or earlier). Sure, there may be more rainfall in some places, but we would have to build new dams and aqueducts, or expand the existing ones, to take advantage of that. Meanwhile, the stuff we already built may underperform its design goals. The aggregate cost of redesigning the infrastructure would be huge.

To make matters worse, we know that at least one thing — direct heat hazards to humans, crops and livestock — is very bad about global warming. Rising wet-bulb temperatures are no joke. Meanwhile, existing construction processes emit lots of greenhouse gases. That compounds the first problem, since reducing emissions conflicts (today) with building infrastructure.

Any hydrological or climatic "benefits" of global warming are very likely to be outweighed by infrastructure inertia that inhibits our ability to enjoy them, plus the heat thing.
That's out of date, I believe. Nvidia went open source last year, though they did that by moving a lot of code from the drivers over to their firmware (in binary blob form).

It's hard because it's being pushed and done by people with different agendas that also aren't necessarily the right agendas to be prioritizing.

- mistake #1, assuming it's a technical thingy that some techie person should do and they should just get on with it and do it. Whatever it is. The mistake here is that without guidance this person is going to be selecting some random tools mostly focused on operational things (logging, infrastructure). These have low value for other stakeholders. Yes you need that but these are also commodities.

- mistake #2, each of the stakeholders adds their preferred tools to the mix and the end result is a bunch of poorly integrated tools with a lot of complexity.

- mistake #3, assuming that selecting a tool means the job is done. It's not. Most of these tools assume that you have some notion of how to use the tool and what you want out of the tool. Getting the tool is a the beginning, not the end.

The combination is lethal. Lots of complexity, lots of data, lots of cost, and not a whole lot of value being delivered.

The fix is an observability mindset that exists in product, tech, and business departments. Select 1 tool, not 2, 5, or 10. The more tools, the more fragmented the effort and the more duplication of effort and mistakes. Have a plan, engineer for the system to be observable, have a notion of things that are important to track, etc. Don't dump the responsibility on some techie but actually reflect a bit on what you are looking to get out of this and what this is worth to you.
I also had to figure out how to enter chess notation. As it turns out you have to add "x" after the piece if you want to capture or "+" suffix for check.
Will SAE (or IEC?) take over the stewardship of the port at some point?

(AIUI, the comm protocol is (will be?) CCS/IEC 61851?)
Almost all good have a sliding scale for quality and how much you consume. It's not pretty or Pleasant but it's possible. I don't want to in any way sugar coat it, but it's possible. For example people don't need meat or eggs to have a subsistence diet. The fact that they continue to buy those goods at a higher price demonstrates that they are both willing and capable of paying that price before switching to something cheaper like rice and beans
If AR glasses become the only device we have (no macs or iPhones), then these ads could be everywhere. Almost like modern tech billboards. Obviously you can just not buy the product, but when everyone else has one it will be hard to do that. Imagine not owning a smartphone right now (a quick example).

Since you're projecting onto people, I'll provide a counter point in that I dislike Android enough, the hardware is often of poor quality, support for updates don't last very long, OEMs install unremovable software (unless you root).

You do. Yes, and lots of things wont work without the Play store (and its subsystems) but you can.

It’s nice that it’s an option, I agree. That’s not really cypherpunk tho, is it?
There is a combination of data processing and filtering happening. It's less about whether to change one's view, and more about whether or not to accept an input. If we accept a new input, our view of things must change, or else we will become insane, mentally ill or internally inconsistent.

I think we're talking about data filtration here, not data processing. Yes?

>There was never restraint and it used to be much worse. //

I think maybe, in the immediate past in the West it was better.

We still lived and worked more locally, standing with neighbours mattered; corporations had less power than governments; governments were less able to manipulate their citizens, perhaps.

Politicians seem to have learnt to give just enough to quell the riots and pervert the system for maximum financial gain for those who control them; spreading losses across all those being exploited. The UK's conservative government stole something like £30B using preferential contracts in just two areas (IT, PPE supply) during the pandemic.

In the recent past it seems highly unlikely that someone sacked twice for lying, Alexander Boris de Pfeffle Johnson, would get a job as an MP, nevermind becoming PM. In the past it would be inconscionable, now the party seems to shrug and say 'he brings in a lot of a Russian campaign money, lets make him PM'.

In the UK there has been a systematic removal of scrutiny and oversight: choosing BBC management, choosing the civil service boss (it was previously always under open competition), changing the nature of parliamentary oversight, and of course Brexit helps considerably to this end.

I've no doubt it was worse in the middle ages, but considerable doubt it was worse throughout the 20th Century.
I got to the chess move and didn't feel like putting in the effort there.

I think we're talking about data filtration here, not data processing. Does that make sense?

To expand on that, someone who gradually changes their view is a little skeptical, but can be convinced given enough accumulated data points to accept a new paradigm. They effectively reject new information up to a point. That's what slowly changing your mind means.
I have the same question. I'm not an erath scientist, so maybe I'm completely wrong. But it's my understanding that GHG emissions are artificially lengthening the current interglacial period, and (what I've read about) the effects of climate change seem to be preferable to the effects of an ice age.

This is actually one of the big no-nos of social gatherings in general in the US too.

You don't talk about politics, religion or money. There's no point. It's a no win situation because you're only going to make somebody angry, never change anyone's mind and everyone else in the room will be uncomfortable and/or leave because they just showed up to see everybody, share food, find out how life and family is going and have a good time.

This is also one of the main reasons that it's so easy to talk about sports.
"you would think the same would happen for significant events that have happened recently too."

Probably people on both sides of an issue feel this way - "how could the other side not have changed their mind".
Same here - it's much easier for me to not eat than to eat less. Though after almost 6mo of OMAD I better recognize when I feel full (and my stomach is has shrunk?) so I can actually eat less now which is a big deal. All my life I've been a big eater, and eating a normal portion always left me feeling unsatisfied after a meal.

Now a normal portion feels right and me weight is under control, yay!
like linux, cloud is a lot to learn, but worth it. it adds capabilities you didn’t have before.

like linux, cloud is best kept simple, or it can become brittle and confusing.

like linux, cloud has a lot of cool things, think zfs, that should be appreciated but not used.

like linux, using go makes your life easier. the aws go sdk is the documentation.

like linux, you have to learn a lot and then find the core utility you actually care about. for me it is:

https://github.com/nathants/libaws

like linux, cloud is very stable. focus on core utility.

would it be better if cloud wasn't the massive union of all customers needs with a bias toward large customers? sure.

the good news is some subset of those needs are actually core utility, well implemented, and stable.

I don’t think the VW situation is at all unique, just the handling of it. I understood Deiselgate because I’ve worked for managers who just wanted checkboxes checked, and I’ve seen people who reward monetarily or with praise for solving problems but who don’t check for dead bodies before doing so. Too many coworkers who get promoted for making messes others had to clean up. What if the cleaners don’t exist in sufficient numbers? Or get laid off?

When you combine a mercenary mind with oversight from a person who doesn’t believe in “if it seems too good to be true, it probably is” that’s when the bad stuff starts to happen.

There’s also a machismo school of business that lionizes force of will. Telling employees you want something that seems impossible and expecting them to get it. Nevermind that by far the easiest way to cross an impossible finish line is to cheat your ass off.

How many products do we need class action suits on? How many exposes on child or captive labor? How many superfund sites? How many companies going bankrupt ten years later when the truth comes out, before we hold people accountable and call bullshit on the “aw shucks” response to tough questions?

Or maybe a Bachelor of Arts from a business school is not enough rigorous education to run a multinational company.
It's an amalgam of Palestine, the Irish Troubles and period since, and a smattering of pre and post WWII Jews (both Zionist terrorists and Israel, manifest in the prefederation period and competing factions corrupting the "interim" government).

I am continually flabbergasted by just how sophisticated artistic expression was at the height of the Roman empire.

I've been in the industry for 20 years.

For 23 years, every time a discussion like this the same answers come up:

- The industry changes so fast. (tech is like that)
- People are only in it for the money. (as always)

My only concern with one is that we're giving one private company a monopoly on it. Is that good, I'm not sure but in general it's usually not good for consumers.
Company mechanics don't give a fuck that's why, either they are underpaid and/or underpressure to get as many vehicles done each night as possible. (Read up on how the mechanics trade works in general and its pretty shit, mechanics are often paid on minimum wage + "commission" on amount of work rushed through). It's not a field that people are going to stick their necks out and make themselves unhirable either.

In this case FedEx outsources the work to a fleet management services company to remove even more liability from themselves.
It sounds like you are suggesting that we build our own custom circuit boards. The people that I work for do not manufacture our own circuit boards. We largely do not have the expertise to manufacture our own circuit boards. We are not electrical engineers.

The Advanced Photon Source has electrical engineers, but we are not part of the Advanced Photon Source. If we go to the Advanced Photon Source and ask them to build boards for us, they would probably quote a price and ask us if we have the budget to pay for that. Or they might say that they are too busy to do it for us. That would be especially likely now since the Advanced Photon Source is in the middle of a major upgrade.

In the end, it is better for us to find vendors that make data acquisition equipment compatible with 5 volt logic and buy stuff from them. That is probably true for most of the organizations that make use of the Advanced Photon Source.
That would have been 2500 in exactly the right places. 2500 in exactly the right places could also have given the Conservative Party even more seats.

It's pretty shocking that all the charge networks are getting rug pulled because they couldn't figure out how to accept payment reliably.

I wonder if Tesla has figured that out for third-party automobiles yet. (I mean, I assume they have, but I assumed the other charge networks would be able to obtain working credit card readers, and that definitely didn't happen.)
Well, we incorporated in India and continue here. Our seed fund was led by an American entity, with Indian funds participating. So, I think investments is a red herring. There's enough capital here irrespective of where you go.

Considering that all three destinations are similar in their tax structure, I think the most useful explanation is what lots of others are saying - a stable environment. Indian laws can be quite fickle as you probably know, and I mean, Dubai _is_ a monarchy at the end of the day, so it depends on one man / one family. Singapore seems like it should work, so I don't know why more startups aren't incorporated there.

The second reason of having mostly US clientele is also reasonable. Definitely tax implications that way too.

But another, possible THE biggest one, is just that the perception of the US and especially Delaware as THE startup destination. Incorporating in the US might be a subtle status symbol for many...
