> Pardon my ignorance, but if the cost of the hardware is already baked into the cost of the cheapest options, which means they are paying for all of the hardware they have in their cars, including the hardware they can't use, how do they benefit?

The idea is that the “cheaper” models are getting the hardware at a discount. Very simply: are getting $30,000 of hardware for $25,000 because features aren’t active. Others are willing to pay $35,000 for the same hardware with the features active.
Obviously this example is over simplification of pricing and value, but that’s the general idea.

In this thread, the argument that chronic Lyme's disease does not exist, seems to repeat itself. It may very well be that chronic Lyme's disease does not exist, but the arguments that claim this still appear to miss some key points.

The argument that chronic Lyme's disease does not exist relies on the existence of a reliable test for Lyme's disease. The article questions the existence of such a test. If the tests are not reliable, any research that uses the tests to deduce that chronic Lyme's disease does not exist, is not reliable either.

There are researchers that believe in the existence of the chronic Lyme's disease. They have some arguments on why it is difficult to test, eradicate and even understand Lyme's disease.

First argument is that Lyme's disease is actually an amalgam of several diseases that work synergetically, such as borreliosis, babesiosis and bartonella. If you are cure one, the others take over, and make the body more suspective for the re-emergence of the cured disease.

Second argument is that apparently the side effects of the diseases are not actually caused by the disease itself, but poisons released during the die-off of the disease. This is called Herxheimer reaction. So, more you are able to cure, the worse you feel, initially. That is why it is difficult to recognize what is helpful in curing the disease and what is harmful.

Third argument is that borreliosis has been observed (by microscope) to change form, and "hide" within other micro-organisms and blood cells. Spiral form is only one of the forms. Perhaps antibiotics can only cure some of the forms?
>And a decent chunk of those games are running on the Unity or Unreal runtimes. Do they count as "running on Windows"?

if the developer released it as a windows build but is being played though a compatibility layer, yes. Unity and Unreal both support deploying Linux builds, but it doesn't mean making a proper Linux port is as easy as pressing the "Linux" button.

"“I am dying of squamous cell carcinoma, and the treatments that might save me are just out of reach:"

Sometimes I think its better to die, when you get off the treadmill, you may well see that life isnt good after all.

Thats why I'm all for euthanasia, I'd even propose a sort of turn up unannounced to the local incinerating crematorium, optionally leave a few beyond the grave messages, lethal injection and job done.

Any specific toothpastes with bioglass that you recommend?
That sucks. However, even rare coincidences happen all the time. There are about 8 billion people on the planet, and all of them have two parents that could die of cancer. It won't be common for them both to die of cancer, and even rarer for them to die of the same type of cancer, but if you multiply any small number by 8 billion you’re going to get a rather larger number.

You probably don’t have any more or less radon exposure than the average person, so that risk factor won’t be any higher for you than for anyone else. Given your genetic risk factor, it might be worth paying more attention to radon than average, but probably not worth stressing over it. Install a radon monitor and pay to have it regularly tested and maintained, but don’t let worry run your life. It might be a good excuse to move away from the mountains and go live on the beach though. :)

The CFC ban really threw the baby out with the bathwater.

We went from "let's put this stuff into every household item, and release it into the atmosphere by the billions of tons" to "nothing must ever contain CFCs ever again, including critical medical products that use only insignificant amounts".

Similar mistakes were made with asbestos and dental amalgam, where the panicked removal often released more contaminants than would have been during the item's entire lifetime otherwise, and the substitute materials were later found to have their own problems.

There's a big lesson in this for future regulatory action regarding environmental issues.

Do you mean overly-small SMT components, or any SMT components at all? For the former, I dunno, I guess bragging rights.

For the latter, it's because many parts are only available that way, you can make PCBs much smaller (and PCBs' cost is based on area), and also reasonable-size SMT components are just a lot easier to work with, once you have proper equipment and enough practice.

Except science isn't based on lies and deception, doesn't ignore self contradictions and false beliefs, is evidence based, is falsifiable, changes when new facts come in, and corrects mistakes when they're found.

Other than that, you don't deserve to use computers, networks, electricity, radio, cell phones, AI, room temperature superconductors, cars, air conditioning, mathematics, logic, antibiotics, or medicine, if you falsely believe science is a religion.

But if you're into religion, then logical consistency and truth seeking isn't your thing anyway, so you probably do hypocritically enjoy all the benefits and convenience of science anyway, while believing in invisible ghosts and magic, without a shred of proof.

Michael Levin [1] does brillant work on this "cellular language" space and the key point is that genetics is more like biological IaC, it only encodes proteins. Most of the actual control, anatomic and physiological homestasis happens at the higher level of bioelectricity - which works as a computational medium.

This is the same attack (and same people who developed) faulTPM[1] that was previously discussed[2]. This article is the same people demonstrating that attack against Tesla vehicles. The paper[1] and previous discussion[2] address the underlying problems with AMD's Secure Processor (AMD-SP) that is embedded in their CPU SoCs and previously and more commonly known as Platform Security Processor (AMD-PSP).

Unlike a web browser where W3C AntiFraudCG folk propose that websites would blacklist all impacted AMD-SP hardware and create massive amounts of e-waste[3], Tesla likely can't do much about this attack because Tesla (not users) would be responsible for a very expensive change of vehicle hardware.

If it's not an easy-to-execute attack like faulTPM, there are more complex (but becoming more mainstream and cheaper) IC reverse engineering methods like polishing the die down to take photos of each metal layer and regenerating VHDL, FIB editing an operational IC to bypass tamper detection methods, etc[4].

A security architect of the Xbox One presented a talk[5] a few years ago which provides some good background too. Largely the Xbox One has managed to avoid piracy because they made it economically not worth anyone's time to attack due to competitive pricing models versus high cost of attack. Similar to use of Denuvo for a month or two after release of a PC game, attackers aren't going to bother if their work amounts to nothing a month later.

Hacking a Tesla to enable additional features is worth a lot of money, so the economics are quite different. It's also different economics for printer cartridges, "pay to enable more features or performance" network equipment, etc. The cost of IC reverse engineering / FIB editing attacks (or other future attack methods) will keep reducing. IC tamper detection features will get more complex. Perhaps attackers will even get an advantage once they can readily reverse engineer 3nm ICs and defenders can't do much other than implementing ever more complex and obfuscated IC tamper detection features and VHDL logic (kind of like a Denuvo situation in hardware).

If you have any desire to lose weight, Fast Lean Pro may be a decent product for you. It says it can cause your body to consume fat better by turning on a switch that makes you assume you are not eating. It is not the same as different things you have attempted in light of the fact that it makes your mind think you are fasting, in any event, when you are not. You can attempt it to lose weight. Fast Lean Pro is unique since it has an alternate blend of things in it, similar to nutrients, minerals, and plants.

A few points I'd like to mention. LXD is good. It running lxc containers real easy and has a good interface. I think it's a good idea to make sure it's not deeply entengled with Snapd. A lot of people won't even try it because they've already decided they don't want snaps. Opensuse was already distributing it as traditional rpm packages. (This is pretty new. They might have had a plan to fork already when they started distributing packages) I support this initiative. Although suse seems to be spread pretty thin in terms of resources, they are (imo) trustworthy.

Second point. It looks like lxc is also having issues with resources dedicated to it too. It's also suffering from cannnibalization from lxd. Try to search lxc stuff and what you get will be lxd and its commands rather than that of plain lxc. This might be more of a search engine thing but it's noticeable.

> Commercially viable fusion energy. Will change a lot of things.

I would be curious if anyone with knowledge in the space could comment on whether or not LK-99 may get us closer to viable nuclear fusion?

My understanding is that magnetic field containment systems are at least part of the technical hurdles required to make fusion feasible.

Maybe in theory, but not in practice. Because no ISO fs implementation has support for writing to a mounted image.

I'd argue that even in theory the immutability is kind of a property of the image format, since it doesn't have file or free space fragmentation. So whenever a file grows or shrinks you have to regenerate the entire image.

Apple would argue the EU was stepping on their toes by imposing USB-C. Maybe whatever proprietary connector Apple comes up with is better in some technical ways. But that benefit has to be weighed against the emergent benefits of standardization.

Which would you rather have:

Option A: A vehicle that lacks the hardware for heated seats, heated steering wheel, and driver assist that costs $25,000 to produce and that you pay $25,000 for. If you want these items next year, you have to buy a new vehicle.

Option B: A vehicle that includes the hardware for heated seats, heated steering wheel, and driver assist that costs $27,000 to produce. You can pay $25,000 now and those features aren’t enabled. But next year you can enable them for a nominal fee. Or you can pay $30,000 now and there are enabled for life. Or $27,000 now and a $500/year subscription fee that you can later cancel.

If not having two separate designs and production lines means less cost to make that a reality, that seems like a reasonable trade off to me.
Excellent insight and perspective.

>2) Commercially viable fusion energy. Will change a lot of things.

How would that be any better than commercially viable fission breeder reactors (which seem far closer to reality than commercially viable fusion energy)?
I have chronic ulcers and colchicine helped a lot. I paid $500 after insurance for a single month supply.
Possibly for a Carrera, but for a Cayenne? Despite the Porsche brand, that isn’t anywhere close to a sports car. The platform is shared with the Audi Q7 and the VW Touareg. It’s a tractor with nicer seats. The weight of a battery fitting under a driver seat would be similar to a big shopping run, so weight distribution wouldn’t have been a consideration.

Manufacturing logistics probably played a bigger role.
It may actually be even better than that.

If the manufacturer hadn't done this, they would have to produce at least 2 versions of the car: one without any extra hardware, and one with all the extra hardware.

It may turn out that doing separate versions of the car could cost $5,000 more per car over its entire lifetime, including production (extra design, assembly lines, etc) and support, rather than simply making one version of the car.

So if the car company hadn't done this, the car might have cost $30,000 anyway without the extra features, and $35,000 with the extra features, so the poorer customers would lose while the rich customers would pay the same.

This works more or less the same if these costs are comparable or higher than the costs of the extra hardware. And I suspect they are higher, as it seems highly likely that the price for these premium features in cars are a lot higher than the actual costs of the hardware itself.

Sure, the company could still engage in the same wealth redistribution / subsidization / price differentiation in the 2-car scenario (and they likely already do), but everyone could still lose anyway because the total costs of all the cars could still be higher in total.
I have an identical suspicion.
No, it’s so much worse than that. Look closely at https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/pricing/ and note this line:

> You also incur standard AWS data transfer charges for all data transferred via the NAT gateway.

Yes, the $0.045/GB “data processing” charge is in addition to the usual $0.09/GB egress charge. You are paying an effective $0.135/GB for all of your egress, in addition to the $0.045/hr just to keep the NAT gateway running.

And yes, your ingress and even internal-to-AWS traffic is also billed at the $0.045/GB rate. (An example given on the aforementioned page is traffic from an EC2 instance to a same-region S3 bucket, which they note doesn’t generate an egress charge but does generate a NAT processing charge.) As far as I can tell, the only traffic which isn’t billed is traffic routed with internal VPC private IP addresses, which don’t hit the NAT gateway and thus aren’t counted.

There are highly paid AWS consultants who shave literal millions of dollars off of many company’s AWS bills by just setting it up a cheap EC2 box to handle their NAT instead of using the built-in solution. Doing that instantly wipes out the ingress charges and effectively halves the egress charges, and it’s probably a lower hourly cost than they’re already paying: an a1.large is $0.051/hr on-demand but that immediately drops to just $0.032/hr with a 1 year no upfront reserved plan. If you’re willing to pay upfront and/or sign a longer contract, you can get it as low as $0.019/hr.
Why? That assumes human evolution succeeded because it's as competitive as all other animals, rather than because there is an unique level of cooperation granted by language and communication that outweighs the baser "me vs you" bits.

Ants can do more than an ant because they cooperate. Efficient socialisation is what sets humans apart.

If an alien society outpaces us, it's because they understand the idea of making a big thing from many cooperating small things, and replacing physical competition with abstract competition - and comprehending necessary variables impartially.
