And “you’re holding it wrong” is equally wrong in this case.

Funny how somehow the millions who were “holding it wrong” were not holding the previous model wrong nor were holding the next model wrong.

And while all you’re saying about the driving range being affected by those factors is correct, if the car cannot accurately predict the range for this particular driver using some pretty simple historical data it should have then the Tesla’s shouldn’t display miles remaining.

It really depends on how we treat digital properties, for example, a username on github will link to your identity and work, the same way a domain name might.

If a domain name was taken, it would have major consequences, trotting out “we never told you to spend millions on super bowl ads” would be a weird take.

Obviously it is based on the contract, but it is not far off.
So much gnashing about the quality of Teams here.

Teams is great. Slack is great. And I bet most big corps actually pay for both.

But per the free offerings, full Slack is free while free Teams isn’t full Teams. To get full Teams you have to pay. So not sure where the “bundling is bad” argument is coming from.

And Teams is so well integrated into the MS ecosystem it’s not like Slack at all.
Because it’s terrible.
"Pascal's Wager has two outcomes: 1) there are no angels 2) angels dance upon EVERY pinhead, sight-unseen. There are no other options. And we may dismiss the first one because of the unspoken axiom of the wager."

I have the 330e Hybrid Plug in. The electric range on a full charge varies from about 28km to 44km (17-27 miles). When I do my usual around town driving, I never need to go off all-electric, so this range works perfectly for me. The range shown on the dash is slightly conservative. For example, I can get from suburban Vancouver to SFU (on top of Burnaby mountain), a distance of 24km with a couple of kilometres still showing, but I can get back home using only about 50% of the reported range. The up-hill portion of the drive versus the down-hill return journey makes a big difference.

When I recharge at home (using Level 2), the reported "full" values range from 28km to 44km. I cannot figure out why there is such a big range.
I don't think this is the only way. I spent a couple of weeks in Rwanda last summer and was stunned by how clean the streets are both in Kigali and in the countryside.

I heard several years ago the picture was similar to neighboring countries (not good). This indicates that the cleanup is possible without introducing total surveillance.
You can make that argument, but they share quite a bit of hardware and software. Considering how many software issues Boeing ran into that alone was a huge advantage.

Plenty of things were updated like IDSS, though that’s an evolution of the old docking standard etc etc. But in the end the unmanned dragon 2 is using the same Falcon 9 rocket, on literally the same mission. SpaceX even called it extended dragon in several places. The crewed version of Dragon 2 is shares most of its design though with abort thrusters, life support, etc.

Your best course of action is to tell your police agency what you told us, and have them take the steps towards giving Google a subpoena for the footage from your account for the period requested. That subpoena will make Google liable if they fail to deliver it prior to its deletion, and make this no longer your problem.

Are you talking about the battery meter? That is just EPA range * battery percentage.

The precise estimate is in the navigation system, when you navigate to a destination and it says you will arrive with X% left. This takes into account speed, traffic, elevation, temperature, wind, etc. and is usually pretty accurate for me.

Chrome gained traction because IE was really, really bad. Now it has mindshare and you might could argue that Google maintains this mindshare with malpractice.

I doubt Google restarts all their machines once a day. Obviously not all at once, otherwise they'd have massive downtime. But anyway, Google's needs are very different than just about any other company on earth (except for a handful of others like Facebook and Amazon). So, they are usually not the best example.

If A answers "This toaster is made of plastique and paper, one would have to look up their tensile strength to answer your question"

And B answers "I don't know what materials this toaster is made of, but the best tensile strength in toasters is reached when using iron, ok tensil strength is achieved by using copper. One should avoid plastique and paper as these have very bad tensil strenght"

Then C could imply that the tensil strength of that toaster is not good.
It's not as simple. For example, look at the distance sensors used for parking and the data coming from them over the CAN bus.

That bus needs to be able to (at least indirectly) reach the brakes so that automatic emergency braking can take their measurements as inputs. And that bus needs to be able to reach the audio system to provide audible feedback to the driver when parking, and also mute the radio. Ergo, you have a bus that reaches both brakes and radio. Now, you might want to prevent the radio firmware from sending data to the brakes over that bus, but physically you have to have a connection between them, as we don't really want to make many separate buses for reasons of complexity, cost and maintenance; moving from a separate end-to-end wire for each specific purpose towards a shared bus was a great improvement.

> Operating a motor vehicle is a privilege

True. The license to do so is a voluntary contract with State which persons may or may not sign.
Alternatively, avoid "motor vehicle", and don't use words they regulate such as "operator".

Commercial licensure of that regulated activity using those words is a privilege.

But none of the players involved are "landlords". The 100k etc is just the figure they are charging for their services. It isn't mandatory that you get a security audit. You can just go ahead without it.

Whereas if you want to get those conventional licenses you have to go through mandatory licensing. This means there is unlikely to be a regulatory capture that would introduce licensing terms that would prohibit new players from coming in.

That is objectively a good thing.
See the sentence after that. You’re already married, but in today’s market, increasingly few people want to be married and have kids, women of reproductive age even less so than the average person. As a man, if that’s the goal of a relationship, unless you get very lucky, you’ll have to partner with someone who either earns less than 60% of your income, is relatively less fit than you, spends money at an unsustainable rate, hasn’t developed the social/psychological skills to be ready for kids, or some combination of these (perhaps all of them). Seemingly the only consistent way around this is to come from a wealthy family. (I’ve finally found an exceptional partner who I think I’m on a good track with, but there are still lots of compromises and issues, and I would not have found her without paying a matchmaker $5k+.) It does all seem a bit unfair, because it is, but I’ve accepted with time is that life just isn’t fair. Things were a lot more unfair for women just a few decades ago, when they routinely settled for alcoholics who beat them (and worse) just to have families.
You must have had a very different experience than me because I will literally never pump out as much code as I did when I was ~14-19. Free time, nigh infinite motivation and energy, and a brain that sucks up information like a shop vac after a flood.
> Speed matters because air resistance increases exponentially with speed

No, drag is somewhere between linear and quadratic as a function of speed, not exponential. (Although it gets weird around the speed of doing.)

Heuristically, if you’re pushing through a cloud of particles, the number of particles you hit per unit time is linear with speed, and the impulse per particle is also linear with speed (because it’s the difference between your velocity and the particle’s initial velocity, times the particle’s mass, times a constant that’s around two for an elastic collision).

And that is why I'll personally never go to any country that has a death penalty for something so stupid as "being in possession of X". We're not even talking kilos of the stuff with a potential to impact hundreds of people's lives. No, it is an amount consistent with her explanation she was "stocking up for a month". Yes, she admitted selling some of it. But, a death penalty for something like this is not just inhumane. It is uncivilised and extremely backwards. It reflects badly not just on Singapore as a country, but on all the countries that allow this to happen. Unfortunately there are a lot of state-sanctioned atrocities in the world. If we compare sentencing a small time drug trafficker to death in Singapore with mass organ harvesting from political prisoners in China the former seems less important. However the fact is, the western world has far less influence over China than a country like Singapore. Where are the threats of sanctions? Where is the mass condemnation in media? Kudos for BBC to write about it t, but their article should call a spade a spade, not dance around it.

I usually recommend chrome dev tools to newer colleagues by saying that they are probably the dev tools with the biggest budget. No idea if I am right but so so many features.

That said, 95% of my usual problems can be debugged with the console. Often it is faster, easier to grok and does not interrupt flow as much as a forgotten breakpoint would.

console.time, console.count, debugger; (breakpoint set in code) and $0 (code ref to highlighted html element) are super useful as well. Usually that is enough before manually setting breakpoints

also nice to know: Safari is great for (offscreen)canvas debugging

I'm curious what people are using that makes Teams look so bad in comparison to the commenters complaining about it. It's the second most seamless video chat I've ever used, just behind Google Duo, which is only seamless because it's so light on features.

And to be clear, this isn't commenting on the merits of an antitrust investigation; I understand the rationale behind anti-bundling regulations. I'm just talking about the complaints about Teams itself. Are people prejudiced against it because Lync was so bad?

The high water mark of Joe Q. Public giving a damn about DRM or anything related to it was when Keurig added DRM to their coffee machines. As soon as the normies who cared enough to do something about it (which still was nowhere near a majority of Keurig owners/users) found a simple workaround they stopped giving a damn again.

The general public doesn't care, and won't care until it actually materially affects them. Until then they'll look at the people who do care as weirdos. And even then, plenty of people still won't care so long as they can access their social media etc. on their shiny new iPhone 28 or whatever version is out when that time comes.
The rated range combines city and highway driving, and EVs get better city mileage due to the lower average speeds. So it would be expected that actual highway range (70+ mph) would be less than the rated combined range.
> Ads are a (the only?) effective way to monetize any digital device.

As stated this is not strictly true. E.g., Apple would object (with at least some merit) and every tech company before adtech (i.e decades of commercially viable tech) would object as well.

What is true is that adtech is the most lucrative way to monetize any digital consumer device.

This economic dominance of adtech is real and extremely distortive of the technology landscape but 1) it is predicated on questionable behavioral stances ("consumers don't care about privacy") which are manifestly not universal (see e.g. EU-wide regulation) and 2) is an incongruous and incomplete architecture for a digital economy: e.g., there is no hard line between consumer and business devices. Do businesses also don't care about commercial secrecy?

Effectively adtech short-circuited the digital society motherboard by identifying an emerging opportunity that did not exist in traditional physically organized economies. Large and vital sections of the motherboard (e.g. journalism) are now burned out.

Its a dead end.

The problem with config management is that it turns into a sprawling unmaintainable mess when you include everything in it. Back in 2014 I was working for a growing startup that was heavy into puppet. Everything was done through puppet. The puppet codebase was a gigantic mess. It has to care about a hundred different types of node. We containerized all of the internal apps and many of the other services (except for things like DNS, database and a few other bits and pieces). So yes, of course we "still had config management", but it shrunk from being a huge mess that we struggled to release weekly (and it always broke shit) to a simple codebase that was only concerned configuring the OS. Every developer was responsible for understanding their own container, and how it ran in production. And the infra team was responsible for providing a fleet of machines for that shit to run on. And a devops team took charge of building a system that scheduled containers on the fleet (pre-kubernetes-and-nomad). Simple, daily releases, and a nice separation of concerns.

Uncapped cost plus contracts (Time and Materiels contracts) are a plague, but not for the same reason, just like a Firm-Fixed Price contract that moves all risk to the contractor are a plague too, because if the contractor is carrying all the risk, they're going to make the government pay for all that risk (and aerospace engineering is risky).

Any contract type where the political leadership can't terminate a contract for cause due to excessive political pressure, or is forced into paying through the nose, is untenable.

The solution for that is not Firm Fixed Price or T&M contracts - but instead larger budgets and also multiple award contracts where you have simultaneous efforts competing against each other. When there are 5 options, all having company skin in the game, all as viable paths forward, and 1 option loses out, terminating for cause, enriching the other 4, no harm no foul.
