> but there are plenty of people .....

I'm afraid you are perfectly demonstrating my point that the pro-EV side contort themselves to extreme levels to try to justify the lack of maturity in EV.

The fact is: I own an ICE car. Whether I drive it 5 miles or 500 miles is irrelevant. I don't have to "plan a little differently" on my 500 mile journey. And I don't have to drive a different car on the 500 mile trip.

As I said at the start of my original post. I am on your side. I want to buy EV. But I suspect, like many others, I look at it objectively and I see that the technology is not quite mature enough. I've no doubt one day it will be, but not today.
> “If you commit murder, we will run a national lottery and execute the loser” should scare you about as much as “If you commit a murder, you could be struck by lightning.”

Interesting that it implicitly and without stating considers only the perspective of the murderer here. As a person who almost certainly won’t become a murderer the idea scares me quite a bit. Even more so when I consider all my friends and family and acquitances, all of them who i think are unlikely to become murderers, and all of whom could be executed under such a system by the lottery.

So no. “If you commit murder, we will run a national lottery and execute the loser” should scare you much more than the alternative.
> That's true, but I don't think it's altruism.

It's almost as if we already have a good system for discovering prices and wages.
Not quite doublespeak, but forced language, like how "shellshock" was changed to "battle fatigue" and then to "post-traumatic stress disorder" (George Carlin has a great set about that).

But it's really effective in changing the mindset. You're not just an employee or a laborer, you're a partner, we're in this together!

Or another take on it; in Scrum, during the retrospective, you don't list things that were shit, you list things that could be improved. This immediately puts you into a different mindset, not of things that are bad (and thus immutable), but how you can improve things. Thinking in solutions instead of problems.

Or in internet terms: removing the dislike button. Only positive enforcement, no negatives. Negatives are bad for business and conversion.
I mean conceptually this is just VUSXX (with a lower interest rate probably), but you can buy something online with it through a PayPal checkout page, or send it to a friend through the PayPal app, or send it across borders in seconds. I do think that has value from an ease-of-use standpoint.
That definitely also happens in UK, financial illiteracy and poverty/desperation exists everywhere I suppose.
> "a lot of people are surprisingly bad with paperwork."

I guess you're writing for a class of people for whom this is easier. But perhaps a more informative view of the situation, rather than saying "people are bad at this" may instead be to realise that if you're able to deal with this sort of stuff without issue, you are very likely in the minority (very few are as good at this as us). This can perhaps inform how you feel about certain requirements for certain programs.

As an illustrative example, a great many otherwise highly capable people who are able to write impressive art or fiction (including for example, many famous musicians and authors) struggle mightily with contracts and managers on the regular.
I guess if the point is to find out How long it took different companies to find product-market fit (title of the submission) you could argue that failed startups never found it?
do you just literally ask that or rephrase the question to "what are the expectations for me"? I mean sometimes what keep the VP up at night is not sth relevant to or disclosable to you.

> It's a dilemma because my social set & family are very pro-vaccine and includes a few doctors & scientists. I don't know what I'll say to them.

We are Bayesian inference machines. We assess risk intuitively. You have different priors than them.

We do this when we eat something and get sick: If you say "I'm going to pass on the banana ice cream, but you guys go ahead. I'm in no way against banana ice cream, I just got sick from eating bananas once, and now my body rejects the thought." -- this presumably wouldn't ostracize you.

If you were run down by a car once, you're more hesitant when you cross a street. That doesn't make you "anti-street-crossing", and there is no one correct pace or condition under which to cross a street. We just accept people behave differently. People will generally accept, "Oh yeah, he just had a different experience in life."

Somehow not taking a vaccine is categorically seen as being "against vaccines". This is too one-dimensional.

I had two shots and one booster. I'm not getting more flu shots. I'm too healthy, a flu won't kill me.

If a more dangerous strand comes along, I'll reconsider.
Be respectful and talk English.

And do you think it's unobjective to think that the conservative governements of the past have missed to lay the foundations?

We're sitting on our slow copper cable internet, due to Helmut fucking Kohl in the late 80s. Since then nobody has made any effort to improve the infrastructure significantly.

Instead the Deutsche Post was privatized and now the Telekom has obviously no incentive to lay fiber for fast internet, especially in the rural areas, when they can milk their customers on the copper cables.

And that's just one example of how past governments have failed the people.

On the other hand it's just funny _how much_ the new government is said to have run this country against the wall after taking over. I'd love if they had done that much at all.
But there's actually nothing to improve in a modern smartphone. Not even better CPU and more RAM and storage, because we don't need them. The only nice to have thing would be a better battery life, but faster CPU and more RAM will only make battery life shorter.
Who claimed that they were "the world's best employer" though? Always look at who proclaims that; it's never the employees themselves. Or if it is, it's a subselection of those that actually had something positive to say about it (e.g. higher management, IT, etc, not the warehouse staff).

Great idea to spread the work among students! "OpenMoji is an open-source project of the HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd by Benedikt Groß, Daniel Utz, 70+ students and external contributors."

An assignment for each student could be to come up with one emoji currently missing from Unicode. The extensions they have so far seem very useful: UI elements, field-specific concepts, regional foods and animals, e.g. https://openmoji.org/library/#group=extras-openmoji%2Ffood-d...
> Presumably 99.9% of those people now carry a smartphone with a fixed battery.

Your argument happily co-incides with the point I was making.

Smartphones have matured and are now at the point where you easily get a whole day's battery life, maybe a day and a half if you don't use it much. So who cares if the battery is glued in. (And as an aside, phones also charge a lot faster than they used to).

EV needs to go through the same maturity process.
Comparative Analysis
You've got part of my point. Over time, Apple is gaining market share. Meaning; previously Android had the greater share. That means that the number of old devices are disproportionately Android. Your experience is a product of the shear number of devices. So beyond the obvious point that one person's experience isn't gospel, the frame of reference isn't sound for forming any opinion on those grounds.
Competition for employees? In my capitalism?

> It's also not going to persuade china and india to change course.

Seeing how China essentially took over global PV market share from Germany and Japan and will cross 500GW installed this year, doubling that number by 2028, I think they were already persuaded years ago - it's just that ramping up production to the scale of a 1bln+ country takes time.

And they're not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts - it's just cheaper this way.
They also brought their coal phase out date forward by a decade, which seems like progress.
I'm a huge fan of Love and have many side projects on the go.

I quite like Lua although it took some getting used to.

You would have to be fairly disciplined to work on a big game with multiple programmers. The c# of Unity means you can be fairly lazy rely on the IDE to help you work out what is going on. I imagine you could make a real mess with Lua.

It's much better than Godot and Love is a really solid foundation to build your game on.

> Lol to the idea of eating tons of vegetables

It's not just "tons", it's exclusively vegetables which is probably fine as long as you make sure your diet is balanced.

However only drinking "juices" certainly for 3 months seems a bit wacky (of course it still depends on the specific fruits/vegetables). Chances are you'll consume significantly more sugar and significantly less protein and fat (of course fiber deosen't seem to matter..) compared to actually eating those vegetables/fruits directly. Which seems like a horrible idea..
It's legalese; they CANNOT be anti-union because the law says so, but they can doublespeak their way around it.

Goodonya. Here's what I did. It's not for everyone. It was painful,
awkward and led to a lot of bother... but ultimately I feel proud of
myself and how the other responded.

I rejected a gift that came in an Amazon box.

Very politely, and apologetically., I said, "I'm really sorry, but I
can't accept this." And why, (working conditions, monopoly etc).

It had an effect not only on myself - to make an ideological whimsy
into a real and binding action - putting my skin in the game - but
also on the other person who was initially embarrassed, then
emboldened. It led to a memorable and positive conversation.
[In the UK] despite the verbiage on most sites still saying "credit card", I've been using ordinary debit cards (from both Visa and MC) online for as long as I've shopped online, and never had a single issue related to them being debit. For many years I didn't even have a credit card

Edit: it's possible that this is an issue of semantics. My cards have been debit cards in every sense of the term - they are labelled as such, are linked to a specific current account, and debit it immediately - but I don't think any of mine have actually said Visa/Mastercard Debit. So strictly speaking they may be implemented as a sort of instant-clearing credit card - essentially shimming debit onto credit infra. I don't know a whole lot about the finance industry or its tech, so if anyone can chip in please do

Edit 2: Ah, my current one does have "debit" in the MC hologram on the back

In the uk there are a lot of groups set up for popular old tech on fb. Selling on those groups gets the machines to people who will be actively using them or even putting in a museum and there are people that can repair issues and source components. You get good prices on there. E.g. on "Spectrum for Everyone" there are several of the original developers participating. I think I still have an A500 around somewhere, I'm sure there will be similar Apple and Commodore groups near you. We even have a physical museum near me that is always interested in buying / selling/ donations.
I'm working on a couple of projects that are along these lines:

- Domain Verification Protocol [1][2] – proving authority over a domain. This is an application of our broader technology (still in development) where the domain can represent any thing (not just a company, e.g. an asset).

- NUM [3][4] a way to store structured data in DNS so that the domain name is the unique key to make a telephone call, GPS locate, make a payment, etc

The usual response to concepts for storing anything in DNS is MITM attacks but these can be mitigated. See DNSSEC, DNS over HTTPs, DNS over TLS.

Submit blocking is not only a feature targeted at admins (they configure how submit criteria), but also for users: users have to know if their change is ready to be submitted.

IIRC, The result of a failing Prolog rule was a single string, which would surfaced to the user. It was often impossible for users to understand why that condition triggered and what they could do to address the issue.

On a technical level the idea was also flawed. The Prolog interpreter had to be constrained (to avoid infinite loops), with hardcoded recursion limit. This meant that adding one Prolog rule too many could trigger a failure in the interpreter which would then throw 5xx errors and wedge the server.

Possibly a tangent, but I'd suggest that happiness and suffering are not opposites, so aren't both "x" in your function.

Someone might choose to maximise their personal happiness even knowing that their personal suffering would also increase (or even be maximised). Trite example: prisoner released from jail who sets out to kill the person who double-crossed him, knowing that he'll be re-incarcerated or even executed.

Happiness and suffering might be related but they're (somewhat) independent.

Even if it only increases the supply by 30% it might be a massive help. The raw number isn't as important as the distribution. If all the charging stations currently are in hotspots, rural areas don't benefit from them. But rural areas have gas stations which this law will affect.
I'm a big fan of love2d, but for _almost everyone_ it's not a replacement for unity.

Looking at https://steamdb.info/tech/Engine/Love2D/, there's only two games on that list that (based on steamspy numbers) that would actually be affected by the recent pricing changes.

If you're objecting to Unity on moral grounds for it's new DRM philosophies, or it's CEO, well those were just as valid almost 10 years ago.
The WHO said that it's a possibility. Group 2B classification is extremely precautionary and includes a lot of scary-sounding chemicals, but also a lot of quite ordinary things like aloe vera and kimchi. Many licensed medicines and permitted food additives are classified in Group 2B - while there's a possibility that they may be carcinogenic, there isn't enough evidence to justify withdrawing those products from the market.

How could Windows handle it by itself?

If it provides a framework for installers/uninstallers, it'll be fighting the inertia of decades of legacy software, programmer habits, and old tutorials.

If it tracks file ownership by program, it might accidentally delete user files. How would it differentiate between a VSCode extension that should be uninstalled, and a binary compiled with VSCode for a user project? A false positive could be catastrophic.

If it restricts what programs can do to accurately track file ownership, you end up with Android. Which is fantastic for security, but is a royal pain in the ass for all parties:

- The app developers have to jump through hoops for the simplest actions, and rewrite most of their code in the new style.

- The operating system has to implement a ton of scaffolding, like permissions-restricted file pickers and ways to hand off "intents" between applications.

- The user is faced with confusing dialogs, and software with seemingly arbitrary limitations.

In the age of shared runtimes, auto-updaters, extension marketplaces, and JIT compilers, managing installed applications is harder than ever.

Edit: the answer above applies only to Windows, because of its baggage. Linux'es are in a much better position, for example, though their solution is still not perfect.

> But… Overall retention is low (varies between 55-60%).

Assuming you have a yearly terms (which you should, if at all possible), try to identify customers who might churn (using the product less, etc.) and spend some time with them -- literally, just send them an email to hop on a call. Try to understand why they are using the product less. Do the same with the ones who love you. Figure out what is different.

Usually, this will grow into a "customer success" role, but it has to start somewhere.
