The articles about chemistry of this author are very good. I studied a specialty in Chemistry in secondary school (12-18), so I can evaluate most of them but the details are usually above my level. When posted here his post get good comments and I upvote most (all) of his stories.

His conclusions here are similar to the hivemind opinion in the first post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36864624 My takeaway is:

1) It must be confirmed. (And if confirmed it's huge.)

2) The method to make the material are very easy (if you have a good lab)

For me, this post confirm that the chemistry part makes sense. Perhaps there was something weird abut the composition of the ceramic. Perhaps about the method to make it? If he says that it looks fine, for me it's a nice confirmation that it makes sense.

The explanation of the effect using "quantum wells" is more strange. I feel it's suspicious and that it will be explained in a different way in the future. Anyway, I'm neither an expert in superconductivity, so I may be wrong. I don't know his opinion about the "quantum wells" but I guess he also is not an expert in that field to evaluate it.

Superconductivity is a field where the experimental results usually arrive long before the theoretical ones, so assuming this is new material is true, it is possible that we get a lot of new materials in the next 10 years and a good theoretical explanation in 50 years.
seems like a lot of unwarranted conclusions. What if she doesn’t think public schools are good for other people’s kids either? What if she doesn’t live in an area with good public schools? I’ve known people that chose homeschooling and it’s not extreme at all

> "There is no evidence that the death penalty has a unique deterrent effect or that it has any impact on the use and availability of drugs," said Amnesty International's Chiara Sangiorgio in a statement.

Oh really? Then please explain why there are few death by drugs in such countries while there are hundreds of thousands of deaths due to overdose with opoids in the US as we speak where their use is completely decriminalized?

You don't get to say "X does not work to fix Y problem" without doing any kind of homework. Or then, make a statement that "death penalty is bad no matter what", but saying that it's not a deterrent is a very debatable question for drugs.

That's something each state will have to decide the Feds (Biden) have already allowed you to be pardoned [1] but a Presidential Pardon only applies to federal crimes so if a state convicted you (quite common!) then it does nothing.

By default, if an action you did was illegal at the time of performance & conviction then you'll remain in prison if the action becomes legal later on and won't be a valid basis of appeal. Your only hope is for a pardon.

If you'd care to list some of your most used - or most useful tools - I'd love to read it. I suspect that I don't even know about most tools available to web devs.

For what it's worth, I stick to server-side for most of my work. But occasionally I have to fix something on the front end - whether it be a UI issue in CSS/HTML or a real problem in Javascript. So a quick mention of those front-end tools available and what they do would be great. Thank you!

I don't think you need more data. Tesla had a team of people "managing" this issue to relieve demand on their service centres. What more data do you think would be useful to clarify Tesla's actions?
When going on a road trip Tesla calculates the time based on the route you put into navigation.

Obviously it will give a different estimate than stop and go traffic and starting the vehicle without pre-conditioning the battery.

Tesla does a great job with their scheduling functionality that lets you pre-condition battery before you leave and even when you near a supercharger to maximize charging efficiency of the battery.

That’s how it’s supposed to work. EVs, to a fault (some may argue), are so efficient that any change in driving condition can have a major impact on range.

Eg. Having a window down, slope, number of passengers, etc.
Probably somewhere along the specifying people and corporations that are conducting illegal activities - such as withholding information from congress and even killing people to protect this information. Even if congress doesn’t refer him to the justice department for perjury, the billion dollar defense contractors he’s making these allegations about should have no trouble suing him for defamation and false accusations.

It doesn't have the vertical stability to stand on its own. You need to make it thicker (how thick depends on how tall, but the important aspect is the staggered construction of multiple layers giving a similar self-reinforcement) to give it the proper foundation. Keep in mind that it's multiple thin horizontal layers held by a relatively weak adhesive, not a solid object.

A wavy wall reinforces itself against the same forces (wind being the big one) allowing for thinner construction at an equivalent height.

People hire because they want large teams and people to lord over. It has nothing to do with the business, you just need a business model that spins off enough money to cover the empire building. Look at Google, all of their revenue comes from ads but they have a huge team of people who aren't working on that but are supported by the ad business.

Most businesses become bloated like this because the kind of people who become managers have been waiting their whole lives to build the biggest team possible.

Show HN: I wrote an introductory data science book
Hi all,

After 3.5 years of writing I have released a book about introductory data science.

The book is available for free on the website, and there is a link there to purchase a print copy.

The book is a introductory reimagining of what data science could be. It develops and applies a principled, tested, reproducible, end-to-end workflow that focuses on quantitative measures in and of themselves, and as a foundation to allow students to explore questions that are of interest to them.

I would appreciate your feedback.
I frequently drive a Skoda Enyaq. The 'official range' figure is 330 miles, but we actually get 250-290 miles in real life usage depending on temperature. When you turn the car on with a full battery, the range estimate for us reflects actual distance not 'official' distance and seems extremely accurate and trustworthy.
> Arguing that you would be dead if your viewpoint isn't correct is a bad argument

When discussing tradeoffs, it's not about correctness but value judgments. Is it preferable for people like geocar to die than to continue allowing people to access all websites with arbitrary devices and software?

Of course, there are services that could be exposed through a website where the consequences of improper use would be catastrophic, but I would argue the web is usually inappropriate for control of life-critical systems without other safeguards or redundancies.
It's still relatively high-trust, though you are right not in the same way as other high-trust societies that are also monoethnic. There actually aren't that many places in the world (monoethnic or not) where you can order takeout food online and just show up to the restaurant, claim that you are so-and-so who ordered the food, and take it, without providing any proof (whether it be ID or an order number, what have you).

> Just ask any black person.

For what it's worth, I live in a Deep South city that is majority black. I used to live in a major coastal metropolis, widely considered to be very "open-minded" on race, with a single-digit percent black population. I think blacks and whites get along better here than they did back there. It's certainly not that case here that black people are treated with suspicion on a day-to-day basis.

> If you think your job is just writing code, then yeah, you're about to get replaced.

Honestly, even that would require major advancements, which is speculative at best. The last time I used Copilot to generate a few lines of code, there were three different mistakes. I spent much more time debugging than it would have taken me to just write the code myself.

It can do some things very well, but it fails all the time.

For the foreseeable future, I think we're firmly in the "this is just a tool" territory.

You can do the same with rsync, they just charge you for the extra space (the differential space, like with tarsnap) instead of providing them for free (from what I can see the limits in the web UI are like 1000 daily and weekly snapshots, 200 monthy snapshots, 100 quarterly snapshows, and 10 yearly snapshots, which I suspect are arbitrary 'good enough for most' numbers, not some hard limit based on what they can profitably provide). I personally use the direct ZFS option so I can set up the snapshots exactly how I want, but it is extra effort and doesn't provide quite as good a guarantee that they won't be overwritten (it's resilient against a compromise of the server uploading the backups because I've set up scripts that way, but it doesn't protect against compromise of the logic credentials for the VM in the same way).

Your 20% variation number seems valid for my EV.

I have a 2022 Nissan Leaf with 220 miles EPA range. I've found that this number is reasonably close to correct if one is driving under 60mph on country roads under moderate climate conditions. We live in Ohio and so I have actually done long drives like that to go to remote places to go camping. (There are, surprisingly, both L2 and fast chargers around in rural Ohio but you definitely need an app and need to check ahead of time.)

Speed matters because air resistance increases exponentially with speed, not linearly. Driving 60+, lots of stop and go, or using HVAC a lot will bring it down the range to as low as 180, but that seems like the worst range I've seen. That was driving ~75mph with HVAC on.

Here's how that argument would go:

GF: "If my stuff keeps working, why is it a problem?"

BF: "Is your stuff going to keep working? There's literally a website dedicated to the products Google has killed. What makes you think you're so special that they won't do that to something you use?"

GF: "If Google deploys this and then kills it, my stuff will keep working. So why is it a problem?"

...and she would be right. If it doesn't break her stuff when some websites start relying on it for user device attestation, then if Google kills it making it so sites can no longer use it for user device attestation those sites aren't going to just say "Oh no! User device attestation no longer works! Let's shut down the site!". They will go back to whatever they were doing before it became available.

That’s 24 bundles of heroin. 1250 doses.
It’s a controversial opinion but I really believe EV’s need 500 miles of range to truly compete with ICE vehicles.

Think: batteries not fully charging or depleting for longevity concerns. Having to stop at chargers before range is out due to there not being another one coming up, extra headwinds, extra heat or AC, simply ending up at a broken or crowded charger and needing it to a different one, pulling a load, etc, etc.

And much more than one would intuitively think.

I just finished a long drive for summer vacation. Driving through Denmark (completely flat) at 130 km/h would absolutely wipe the battery, would be surprised if I managed even 350 km on a full charge. Driving over the mountains in Norway however, from 0m elevation to over 1000m and down again, at slower mountain roads (max 80 km/h), yielded almost 500 km on single charge.

I did not expect flat+high speed vs hill-climbing+low speed would be that dramatically different.

It's an open secret in the industry that the CAN bus is not authenticated. If you connect, you can read the data on the bus and inject the data on bus.

But, that does require physical access to the car and hooking to the wires. Nobody complains that if you hook to the buses on a PC you can own it.

Now they have this security concept where every ECU on the car will have their own private key in their own secure enclave. You need that key to put authenticated data on bus and it can only be updated by the OEM's.

The authenticated bus infra will probably not protect against remote attacks ( since if you own the ECU SW you have the cert and you will still be able to publish signed messages) but will kill ability to change HW.

I really would not like to kill our ability to fix our vehicles but I feel this is the thing that is going to happen.
