The Good Life: What can we learn from the history of utopianism?
Right but how will you know ahead of time which parents will be incapable of providing for their children?
My dad bought a truck with aftermarket headers installed and dual aftermarket glasspack mufflers. If you were going down a hill and let off the throttle, it would "popcorn" like you described, but not obnoxiously. It was loud when you accelerate quickly, though. Scared a horse once when he pushed the clutch in and revved the engine.

I'd personally rather have a fast, but quiet vehicle. Most vehicles people make loud don't really have enough displacement to warrant that much sound so it's usually loud AND slow lol
I have a diesel car. Every 3 weeks I have to fill my tank. This wastes me around 5/10 minutes, depending if the gas station is full of person that want to fill their tank. And this only thanks to the fact that I've one of the gas station with the cheapest price of my city 50 meters from where I work. Otherwise I would need to spend time (and gas) to get to the station with the cheapest price, because paying 2 euros for a liter of gas is not something I like to do.

With an electric car I can get home at evening, park my car and connect a plug, exactly as I connect my phone to the charger before going to bed. Time wasted? Probably less than a minute every couple of days. Also, I pay it in my electricity bill, the price of electricity doesn't go as high as the price of gas. Also... it's impossible to distinguish between the electricity used to charge a car than the one used for domestic purpose. This means that the government cannot add taxes on electricity used in vehicles, as it does with gas. Finally there is the possibility to install solar and produce the electricity myself.

> All it takes is a new pump at existing gas stations

Easy? We have natural gas cars since decades. Only recently (last 10 years) you find a sufficient number of stations that serve you natural gas. Still for nonsense rules in my country you can't fill your natural gas car by yourself but it has to be done by an operator, so good luck filling it in the weekend or at night. I imagine the same rules would apply for hydrogen.

Now, after decades of natural gas cars, they are mostly usable (my parents have one). Inconvenient, since you maybe have to drive 10km to get to a station, and you have the same range than an electric car (350km more or less). Will hydrogen be that better? I don't think so.

While all of this happens, electric car chargers are starting to appear everywhere. You go to a supermarket, there is a charger, you stop to eat on the highway, there is a charger, or more of them really, in the cities there are plenty of them (plus while the car is charging you don't pay for parking!).

It's nonsense to this day to not consider buying an electric car if buying a new car to me! I keep my diesel car since I already have it, it has more than 10 years, and works fairly well, and I don't like changing things that works, but when I will change it, I will buy an electric for sure.
The processes to make synthetic fuels are well known have proven to scale to a countries needs for energy. Germany did it in WWII, South Africa did it for a while too.

The problem is it costs a lot of energy, and so it ends up 4-5 times more expensive than oil from a well.
I imagine that would introduce way more sources of error you can't control for, especially since ethically you can't incentivize follow-ups using welfare services they would otherwise already be entitled to.

Most Japanese houses do not have parking garages or private parking spaces, so the ability to charge from home is irrelevant.

But in any case, single phase is fine for home charging and it's the default in many parts of the world. Three phase charging is a nice luxury, but far from a necessity.

> There isn't any effective difference between "assume false" and "no evidence for it, so we assume false".

This is very unclear to me, but if what you mean is something like "There is no practical difference between supposing something to be false and supposing the thing to be so unlikely that it shouldn't be taken into account in one's decisions" I might agree with you - both that it is true and that something like it is present in the Wikipedia article - and we could go on from that point.

>The reason we assume it's false is tangential to the fact that we assume that both the teapot theory and the fighting staircase theory are false.

I'm not sure what the "it" is in the "it's" part of this sentence, so I can't respond to this part of your comment.
I recently switched to Nobara Linux (a gaming focused Fedora spin) and it has run every Steam game I've thrown at it outside of Street Fighter 6 (which runs, but at low settings and multiplayer is spotty). Proton has done wonders for Linux gaming and after over a month without booting my Windows partition at all I don't think I'm going back.
Rich != Smart
I didn't downvote... but if you're being downvoted it's probably for ignoring the flywheel effect needed to scale novel tech in the market.

Yes e-ink has high wastage, and yes demand is low, but having had a strong arming expensive patent holder didn't help the situation. The patents are actually expiring/expired but at some point the damage is already done.

A great corollarly to e-ink is 3d printers: they were very expensive, very low volume products that needed to recoup expensive development costs... but when the 200 lbs gorilla sitting on the market in the form of patents started to die down, a lot more players start to iterate, which unlocked advancements, which made things cheaper and more accessible, which improved demand, which then incentivized more advancements... and now we have $400 printers that outperform $10,000 printers from not that long ago.

Most display tech starts high wastage, low demand. Patents aren't a guaranteed death, but e-ink was just a bit too far off the path for absolutely required innovations to overcome the added resistance. In the mean time other technologies got better: sunlight performance of non-eink displays has improved dramatically for example.

Now the moment has probably passed and e-ink is doomed to stay a niche sideline product as a result.
Hydrogen systems have zero advantage over GMO biodiesel (short-cycle carbon neutral) for energy capture, storage, and distribution.

The local Ballard H2 bus test platforms were reverted to diesel after 6 years.

Mostly, people see Hydrogen as a way to green-wash catalyzed natural gas (30000 years to reach carbon neutral).

The Battery people seem to think $7000/Kg for global lithium deployment is feasible. Look, a EV/pollution-relocation device is impressive, but is still unsustainable.

I retain the opinion goat-carts are the future. =)

I don't like any of the options though. It's all non-intuitive and/or irrelevant info and/or lots of wasted space on a page.
It leaks a lot faster if it corrodes a hole in the container. Hydrogen is fairly reactive.
> I left on 12/31 because the hospital could not tell me if my current insurance (COBRA) would cover the bills for days 5/6. Absurd.

For future reference, asking the hospital what your insurance covers will always result in a "we don't know" answer because they don't speak for your insurance. They can't risk saying "yes" when they aren't the ones deciding.

In these cases, call the insurance company. The reps deal with coverage questions like this all day long.

For long haul flight, hydrogen's main use is going to be producing fuels that can actually go that distance. Hydrogen has a volumetric problem and it just isn't a great fuel for that reason. Even over short distances this is problematic. It just takes up too much space. It's about 2.5 x that of lng in both liquid and gas form. In liquid form, you need to cool it to a few degrees above 0 degrees kelvin, which makes it very impractical in a plane. And of course lng even in liquid form does not compare that favorably to things like kerosene.

Green steel you can do without hydrogen. Basically you need lots of heat and some carbon to produce steel. Generating heat with electricity is not that hard. You can use induction, plasma heating, resistive heating, etc. And doing that is a lot more efficient than using that same electricity to first create hydrogen and then burn it.

Hydrogen has its place, mostly as a chemical half product that is used to create other stuff. It doesn't store very well; it doesn't travel very well. It's mostly used close to where it is generated. Which as of yet is done almost exclusively by expending large amounts of fossil methane or coal. Green hydrogen production is minuscule and relatively inefficient and costly. Most uses of hydrogen today are neither green nor sustainable. Or carbon free. And that's going to stay like this for a while. Even just shifting current hydrogen production to being green is going to take a massive investment and take decades.
Their domestic voltage is also 100v. I've never thought about it before but it does seem like that might pose some challenges in electrifying their road transportation. 240v is considerably more useful when you are trying to suck down 7kw or more.

Pedestrians should not be on the road.
Depends what you mean by "default". Windows ships with DirectX, OpenGL and Vulkan support. Call of Duty runs on Vulkan by default, for instance.

Vulkan is notable as being new (doesn't have legacy baggage OpenGL and DirectX have), is natively cross-platform, and is often more performant than other options for modern games.

This is one step in a long march. If you can remember this march, the next step is obvious.

The Civil Rights Act didn't directly ban using IQ tests for hiring/promotions, yet that's how the courts eventually interpreted it [1]. More recently, a test specifically made to evaluate teachers was declared racist and discriminatory [2], mostly based on disparate pass rates, but in part also on requiring some "cultural knowledge". Ironic, since imparting culture is a large part of a teacher's job - outside of STEM, nearly all knowledge is culturally biased (i.e. there is greater emphasis on US history in the US than in Poland).

That's right, but there's an even better option: making synthetic kerosene from green H2 and CO2 so it can be used in existing jetliners.
This all depends on what "should" means, and what kind of carrot/stick is hiding behind that phrase.

Might be nice to be able to include crypto relevant stocks or funds.

Might be beyond your scope, but any tax estimates regarding sale decisions is always helpful, and can save some grief.

That is a serious request, though I don’t recommend anyone else doing this.

But the legitimate context here is a crypto tool, so here is my use case:

Microstrategy’s market cap reflects a growing fortune in Bitcoin, as well as its business value. The result is it’s share price can both magnify & buffer Bitcoin changes on different time scales.

(If anyone does ever invest in anything highly volatile, I recommend (1) you don’t, (2) if you do, learn everything you can about the security, market, political, social, technological, and key player contexts, (3) constantly pay attention to changes in context & events, (4) only do this with a small fraction of your money, and if you lose it - stop!)

That being said, IRA’s, with their lack of tax implications, vastly simplify investment change decisions, by removing tax timing and loss issues. This is tremendously helpful for volatile type investments, because transaction timing constraints and house vigs (taxes) both significantly magnify risks.

I really wish there was a time-agnostic way to invest for taxed accounts. Like taxes that reflected the time between a purchase & sale so that taxes did not create perverse incentives for timing purchases or sales.

Dancing around non-neutral tax implications creates a terrible drag on performance & adds headaches to straightforward rational value analysis.

TLDR: Don’t read anything I wrote! Max out your tax protected retirement plans every year, and invest all funds cautiously and diversely!

I don't see why you'd look at a 2 hour wait somewhere and extrapolate that out as an impossible problem. Show an EV nerd a video of a 2 hour wait and they can probably tell you where it happened and maybe even when, because that is really unusual.

This is a solvable problem.
In the repository, I see

> By adding support for GraalVM native image, we could build javac binaries with custom configurations

Can you elaborate on what's missing for GraalVM native image support? Is there a particular behavior of javac (e.g. reflection, dynamic class loading, keeping threads alive at compile-time, ...) that is a show stopper for native image compatibility?

Overall this project looks cool, and native-image support may allow integration into tools like Babashka to do some crazy things like downloading Java source from somewhere then compiling and loading it into the running image.
Isn’t that effectively what they call “blue hydrogen”[0]? All oil companies seem very slow in deploying that; there is no question that it is much more expensive than just releasing the CO₂ in the air.

in their current format no. but I think there is sufficient demand for long range personal vehicles, and as the world gets more electric, battery tech will get better. I can easily see a future where 1000 mile range on a single charge will be a norm. and I can easily see an America that requires that. range anxiety will decrease as charging gets faster and easier to access. but I just can't see an America household going 2x electric vehicles until 1000mile range with a charge up time of an hour or two is the norm.

I'm actually a huge fan of full ev hybrids that have on board gasoline generators
HTTP/2 makes the browsing experience of high-latency connections a lot more tolerable. It also makes loading web pages in general faster.

Luckily, HTTP/1.1 still works. You can always enable it in your browser configuration and in your web servers if you don't like the protocol.
I mean yes, but actually no.

In this context it means that, on top of selling you trucks, they're also interested in upselling you by selling you chargers, charge management software, consulting you on power requirements, liaising with power companies... things of that nature, therefore helping you be emission free.

> An attacker could use the whole port space of TCP to create 65535 (theoretically) connections to the server and to send requests to them in parallel.

This is harder for the client than it is for the server. As a server, it's kind of not great that I'm wasting 64k of my connections on one client, but it's harder for you to make them than it is for me to receive them, so not a huge deal with today's servers.

On this attack, I think the problem becomes if you've got a reverse proxy h2 frontend, and you don't limit backend connections because you were limiting frontend requests. Sounds like HAProxy won't start a new backend request until the pending backend requests is under the session limit; but google's server must not have been limiting based on that. So cancel the frontend request, try to cancel the backend request, but before you confirm the backend request is canceled, start another one. (Plus what the sibling mentioned... backend may spend a lot of resources handling the requests that will be canceled immediately)

I am not sure about that! It seems like small models are emerging that are a bit more specific but can be very small, and thus have much lower latency. For example: https://arxiv.org/abs/2305.07759

The difference here is that long haul infrastructure needs a H2 station every 200 maybe 300 kilometers.

For personal vehicles we need orders of magnitude more, because refuelling a H2 vehicle is even slower than liquid fuels.
people want to be back in their own homes. i was in hospital a year ago (nhs, fractured ankle) and the guys in the whole ward i was on were literally desperate to get out of the place (which wasn't horrible, and i think the nhs is brilliant). it took me probably an extra week to get discharged that it needn't have done. but there is a lot of arse-covering going on.
It is also possible that Toyota's engineers are not the level they used to be, much like Fujitsu's engineers (who caused one of the largest banking outages ever) or (other company of your choice that used to be a great engineering company but was hollowed out).

Considering the work load at Toyota (it is often referred to as a "black company" by people I know), the level of pressure that is put on their shita-uke companies, and changes in what people consider acceptable work environments, I imagine that they might not attract the same level of talent in 2023 that they did in 1983.

Realistically you may be correct - however, it is within the realms of possibility that enabling poor people to take part in the economy will drive value creation, and that this increase to the tax base could fund UBI.

Stock buy-backs don't create any value, or, if they do, it is obscure to me. You may get a one-time bump in capital gains tax, but it's nothing to build an economy on.

A million new dishwashers, though - that's taxable profit and increased emploment. Could UBI drive a virtuous cycle in which everyone gets richer? It certainly looks from here like inequality fundamentally shrinks the pie, even if it works out nicely for some eaters.
