We wouldn't even need to change taxes if we just stopped subsidizing gas. Fuel would cost about $12.75 per gallon, naturally making the Prius significantly cheaper to operate than the F-150.
I have a $3k+ eBike and lock it in San Francisco. Not all places but many. I lock it with three locks. Main lock is a D/U lock Abus. Second lock is a "LITELOCK" for front wheel. Third one is the builtin cafe Lock. It is actually pretty quick to put them all on/off. Or at least I don't find it a burden compared to parking a car. All hex things have these security by obscurity hex locks in them. I also have a child seat on the back. Perhaps I've been lucky or perhaps the optics of three locks, and a child seat and often a helmet for a 4 year old dangling down turn off thieves.
You're supposed to stand by the pump so in case it doesn't shut off you can shut it off manually. You're responsible for spills, so you don't want to be sitting in your car while gallons of gasoline pour out and run under and around it.
I think 500 is a bit high, especially for an average. Much of the time they’re in a peloton, which will drop the average a lot. Peak can go way higher but it’s for far shorter bursts.

“During a normal stage of the Tour de France, pro riders can pump out around 230-250 watts on average, which equates to burning about 900 calories per hour. But on some of the harder stages they can average over 300 watts, or 1,100 calories per hour. Tadej Pogačar has a Functional Threshold Power – an estimate of the power he can sustain for around one hour – of around 415 watts. But for explosive one-hour attacks on big climbs, some Tour riders have been known to exceed an average of 500 watts. And in the final stages of a sprint finish, sprinters can hit maximal efforts of over 1,500 watts.”

I'm very pro bike (writing this as I've walked in from a 35mi ride tonight). Ebikes allow people that are not in the best of shape to get moving. It's worked miracles for some people and is a gateway to better health.

If we haven't learned yet, subsidizing has a way of creating glut, waste and abuse. How do you think Comcast got entrenched? How do you think recreation.gov came to be? The thought behind "hey we should subsidize ebikes" is a good one. Unfortunately it's the wrong solution.

I have used my Tern GSD ebike with my two kids under 6yo and it has been transformative to how we get around the suburbs of Portland. I have put on about 1800miles in a little under two years. We use it for visiting the park, grocery shopping, library, and getting to preschool.

All that being said it can be challenging in a few ways:

- Infrastructure: We partially chose our current suburb home due to the good bike infrastructure and will have to be even more hyper aware if we have to move again. The two important pieces to us are: trail systems that get you 80% of the way to most places without interacting with cars AND dedicated bike/ped under/over passes around major motordom infrastructure like freeways. Luckily our current home had both.

- Maintenance: I think there is a market opportunity for ebike components that are WAY beefier than the current incumbent components. In particular the brake pads and brake systems are just not up for the job in any hilly terrain. And given the weight/size of a cargo ebike getting it to a shop via a car is annoying. So, I have learned to just bleed and replace pads myself but it is a tedious task that needs to be done about every 600miles under my use.

- Price: The Tern GSD is pretty crazy expensive at ~$6k but was the only thing that checked the boxes of belt drive, integrated hub, and mid-drive assist for us.

Also, to share with friends and interested folks the ways we get around I started sharing recordings of my routes and rides with an overlay map: https://github.com/philips/bike-cam-map-overlay

Even IF Twitter could have been built with 30 developers (I have no opinion on whether this point is possible), I find it hard to believe that the system that was built by several hundred people (several thousands?) can be maintained by 30 of them. This is not a commentary on the ability level of either groups.

20 developers are just about more than enough for one on-call rotation as well, so hard to believe how the numbers would work out. At Twitter scale and across all their systems, I do expect incident to happen daily.
There's an emergency call option from the lockscreen (the one where you enter your pin/swipe if you don't just use your fingerprint) which I have set off a bunch of time in my pocket. Luckily I have my emergency contact set to my wife, so it calls her not emergency services. I _think_ I must accidentally put my phone in my pocket with the screen on, and then random movement gradually hits the few buttons needed.
No way they only have 26 devs total. As someone down the comments noted, Linkedin shows they have 700+ devs.
Always fun to continue to see innovation within the Minecraft Java space.

At Hypixel we ran (and I believe they still do run) a custom fork of Spigot from 2014-ish, with features from each sequential update to Minecraft being added to our fork via our Spigot fork. This let us diverge greatly and customize the Minecraft protocol to our own needs, saving hugely on internal bandwidth and letting us optimize crap out of the L7 "BungeeCord" reverse-proxy we used.
IMO this is the reason e-bike subsidies would be a gamechanger. Because everyone else replying on this thread is correct: when you know you want to get into the e-bike lifestyle you want great quality components and the start price for those is $3k and up. $4.5k for cargo bikes.

If you don’t know it’s going to fit your life that’s a lot of money to throw on a bet. I wasn’t sure so I bought a budget bike, a RadPowerBikes Radwagon. And it’s… fine. The components aren’t great. The gears are janky. The brakes are insufficient given the weight and speed the bike is capable of. But it’s $2k and if it didn’t exist I don’t think I would ever have dropped $4.5k on one of the better specced alternatives.
I totally agree with you. The current overflow of disinformation context doesn't help a bit but there must be a middle ground. I personally I'm slowly going crazy. I'm probably consuming more information related to this war than I need or should. I have some ideas on how to use software to balance things but haven't put the effort.

I’ve seen this in some cities too, but me this just says that those cities have such a lack of cycling infrastructure that only reckless people are willing to ride bikes.

I don’t think there’s anything particular about e-bikes that attracts reckless people compared to trucks or motorcycles.
time to subsidize 150cc petrol motorcycles. with modern ICE motor and emissions you can easily get 120mpg with near zero emissions (better than electric emissions )

you can build 20 small motorcycles using the materials of one tesla and 50 for 1 e hummer

set city speed limits to 45mph

typical quality e bike is about the same cost as a 150cc moto
The Ubiquiti controller is fine if you're managing one site, but beyond that it's pretty poorly designed IMO.

By far the biggest problem is that they don't give enough consideration to recover-ability of offsite devices. If something causes a device to disconnect from the controller their solution is to SSH in and re-adopt it. That doesn't work once you're dealing with hundreds of devices across dozens of sites.

A good example of where that becomes problematic is to look at the controller hostname override setting they have. You could change it to 'unifi.invalid' and it would happily push that change out to a thousand devices and leave them in a state where you'd need to be hands on with every device to recover. If you can do it on purpose, they can do it accidentally with a buggy update, so, IMHO, there's always a risk that an update could break things pretty badly.

That's not a hypothetical either. They (purposely) pushed an update that did something like that when they started supporting HTTPS for the inform URL several years ago.

The second issue I have with it is more of a design issue. Sites should be somewhat sharded and I should be able to update the controller version on a per-site basis. I think that does a lot to reduce the risk of an update breaking things.

I also dislike the default settings and prompts for auto-updates. I like the scheduled updates and think they're great, but the push to "update everything daily at 3:00 AM" is too much. I have a controller with 100+ sites and need to schedule updates to ensure any breakage is fixable via manual intervention up to the point of physically visiting a site. Edit: To clarify this, I'm sure I've been prompted to enable 3:00 AM auto-updates on the newer controller versions and accidentally clicking "yes" would be a huge headache for me.

The "rolling update" was also pretty trashy when I tried it. That was years ago, but I think it simply updated APs sequentially and happily continued if the previous one didn't come back up. How hard is it really to implement a rolling update that stops and waits for intervention if even one device doesn't come back online?

And the UI. I can't even use it without setting my browser to 80% zoom and it gets worse every time they push out an update. Everything is stuck into tiny little scrollable boxes. I have multiple 27" monitors and get stuck scrolling around in a 1" x 2" box that can't display more than 2 or 3 lines of config. Why?

And then TP-Link copied them with Omahda. It's almost funny. I wonder if they even realize they're copying off the dumbest kid in the class. Lol.

So just like any other lane a driver is expected to follow. I suggest we stop cutting drivers any slack.
Living in Boulder I have however noticed that most of the trails now have “no e-bike” signs as some of those are closer to electric scooters in terms of speed so YMMV I guess even around here.

When it comes to companies like JPM that blatantly disregard the law constantly and are never given more than tiny little taps on the wrist, yes? If it were up to me we'd start rounding up every C-Suite we could, let's see how much longer they'll keep trying to get away with things like this after that.

Tell me, what exactly is reasonable or appropriate or fair about such a pittance of a fine for such blatant corruption? We're not talking about some random mom & pop shop, we're talking about the largest fucking bank in the States and arguably the entire world here. Someone in the thread already did some rough back-of-the-napkin math, this 4 million is a bit less than 20 minutes of income for them, in what universe is that a reasonable fine?

I am convinced that every serious managerial position actually embraces two different roles: the visionary role and the executor role. They are very different in nature and require different skills. The visionary works on the _important_ things and engages in focused analysis, ideating, long term planning, thoughful networking, concentrated decision making, all of which requires uninterrupted time. The executor works with the _urgent_ things and is busy with making sure that the decisions are carried out, fighting fires, keeping the plates in the air, which involves a constant stream of interruptions and being generally available to everyone on short notice.

These roles are often assumed by the same person, however I think it's typically a mistake. If one finds themselves in a high stakes leadership role, where growth and development is expected, my recommendation would be: try to remain the visionary, and delegate the execution to a good deputy as much as possible.

In engineering this pattern is often realized as the "architect + technical lead" combination.
60 hrs a week and you're already posturing about health?

I mean you can do whatever you want - but for most of history people have been working far more than that.

60hrs a week is not bad, especially if the work is interesting and you get to work with talented people. It's not like you would have had to work there for the rest of your life.

Just a couple years there would have meant never needing to work ever again. Sounds healthy to me!
I once worked in a hospital laundry. We were supposed to wear hazmat suits as ppe, but no one actually provided them, and honestly, we probably would not have worn them due to the heat. I doubt anyone working at a gas station would actually follow the correct safety procedures.
That's exactly how it should be. Housing is a consumable, not an investment.
Its safe unless you are riding on very steep long hills. People rode heavy bikes touring before disc brakes existed and didn't die.
That seems insane, can you bribe the property manager $200/mo to not throw away your bike?

Regarding running out of battery, my ebike is 99% used for my commute and I just charge at home every 3 days I ride. Works perfectly. Shorter trips for food I use my regular bike.
Will the interpretations of the missing evidence be worse or better for them, though? Seeing as it's JPM, it's very possible that whatever evidence was lost (lol) would be a lot more damaging than whatever the prosecutors will come up with.

I'm not convinced this feature was ever particularly useful. A lot of web pages don't have meaningful dates associated with them. (What's the date of the HN home page, for example?) Worse, a lot of pages which do have dates have incorrect dates -- either ones which are always current, or ones which represent a date that isn't relevant to the content, like the date a dynamic web page was first created.
I would rather money to subsidize e-bikes go into creating safer bike lanes. Using a bike as a regular means of commuting is high risk. Motor vehicle drivers are inattentive, distracted, unaware, and sometimes intentionally vindictive.

Yup making cycling at full cost the better option (as you describe tackling the issues around safety, theft) will have a real long-term impact, otherwise you might end up subsidizing a fun little toy that is used for a few weeks then goes back to the garage.

Another problem with subsidies is that it targets a specific mode (e-bikes), while simpler, cheaper, normal bikes might be good enough already. It could also lead to local sellers increasing the price of e-bikes.
> But I feel like there's still room for a "magic" /nix/store that skips the copying and decompression stage altogether— something that works using standard nix invocations (like Magic Nix Cache), but presents itself as a Kubernetes Volume, so that in cases where a path already exists on-node, the existing files (in the cache pod) are simply mounted/served directly into whatever container ran a nix command.

Mostly a digression since it's not Nix, but I've wondered a bit about this sort of thing when building AUR packages on Arch Linux. The very last step of the builder is to compress the package, which in the vast majority of my uses is followed immediately by installing it, which of course decompresses the package. I've wondered why there isn't some (non-default) option to say "I don't need to keep the package itself around; just install it as soon as its built". I'm sure for my specific use case there's a simpler solution, but I've always wondered if there's a hacky way to get around things more generally by making a tool that can mimic the expected compression API but then creates a "fake" compressed artifact that no-ops (or maybe puts in a valid header followed by non-compressed data) and then injects that implementation into the PATH. You'd be able to invoke it with something like `fakecompress --zstd makepkg -si`, and it would invoke `makepkg -si` with the no-op zstd implementation.

I ride motorcycles, bicycles, and more recently e-bikes. The statistics for injury/fatality are worse than cars. However there's a few things you can do to significantly decrease risk of injury and the severity of the injury. The top three things are

1. Do not combine alcohol with the activity. A disproportionate ratio of fatalities involve the operator having some alcohol in the blood stream. I'll throw things like "being hydrated" and "not tired" into this bullet.

2. Using the correct safety gear. The amount of gear I wear is well above the minimum legal requirements. Specifically the DOT helmet certification is a joke compared to every other motorcycle helmet certification on the market.

3. Rider training. You get significant insurance deductions for taking a course every 2 years. That's because staying fresh on your training actually has a huge impact on accident likelihood.
This is just baseless and I don't even understand to what end. ESP32 isn't missing features vs say Arduino Uno and does not act oddly.
Yeah, it's shame those vital arteries of goods are always so choked up with personal cars.
One easy thing that should be a no-brainer is making bike share eligible for commuter benefits. In NYC people genuinely do commute by bikeshare, but it’s not eligible for pre-tax money. Meanwhile, if you commute by car, you can put pre-tax money aside for parking (and maybe gas?)

I don't really understand comcast or recreation.gov related to direct to consumer subsidies that likely actually create systemic savings on transportation infrastructure greater than the cost of the subsidy.

I do think that we should build infrastructure and penalize driving significantly which would encourage bike riding but subsidies don't seem like they will hurt nor create some weird monopoly like you suggest.
They're a bit expensive, but from personal experience and recommendations from friends: Riese & Müller, Stromer, Koga and Flyer. Be aware of trendy brands like VanMoof or Cowboy. An electric bike is not really high tech, no need for brands that act like they're a tech company or the Tesla of electric bikes.

But first of all, look for local dealerships and find out which brands they're selling. You need regular maintenance for your electric bike and many bike shops refuse to work on bikes bought elsewhere, especially cheap bikes bought online, and I can't really blame them.

A good electric bike ain't cheap, but lasts a lot longer than a no name/cheap one. A cheap bike with one problem after the other sucks all the joy out of owning one and is the surest way to a dust collecting piece of metal in the back of your garage, nevermind the extra costs.

And get electric bike insurance. Budget for it in advance. Getting your brand new expensive ebike stolen is quite traumatic.

> A single regression within a monolithic code base can bring the whole system (in this case, all of Uber) down.

Serious question: why though? I can't think of a backend system where a single regression could bring the whole thing down. If something blows it up, it rarely takes the whole application down. What's this scenario exactly? Maybe I'm only thinking of certain types of applications, but a single failure somewhere needn't bring the whole thing down.

A crash in a stateless distributed tier (e.g. web servers) will not take the whole system down.

But a crash while processing any request in a stateful non-distributed multithreaded system, can bring it down. It's much harder to make stateful systems resilient and fault tolerant. Usually it's solved by moving the state somewhere else (e.g. databases, message queues, or Kafka-style AOLs).

Exception: monolithic stateful systems using BEAM/OTP/Erlang/Elixir. Here the blast radius is per Erlang process, so in the worst case only a single request/user/session should be affected. There are some classes of errors (e.g. out-of-memory, overloaded process message queues, or crash in native code library) which can bring down an entire Erlang node. This can be mitigated by running a cluster of several Erlang nodes (which is supported out-of-the box by BEAM VM and OTP).
