I've got plenty of gripes with Musk -- not the least of which are Tesla's marketing of assistive driving technologies, which the folks there had to know would be misleading.

I think this is somewhat unfair, though: that $10k is for a software unlock. Battery tech is hardware. Toyota can't charge extra for advanced batteries before said batteries are ready for mass production, for obvious reasons -- so they didn't really have the opportunity to engage in this kind of broken promise.

Right, but that's also the case for the cost of handling the resulting e-waste.

Maybe they meant "externalize" in the "externalities" sense—environmental damage, etc? If so that makes some sense, but for a full accounting you'd have to compare that to the externalities caused by all the people driving around to take readings (tailpipe emissions, adding to traffic, etc).
There are specific laws indirectly governing work-life balance, such as maximum hours worked consecutively, certain contract stupilations being null and voice because of general law, regulations regarding sick pay, and protections against discrimination, but I don't think there are many countries that explicitly state the right to a productive life with free time.

Rights to housing, welfare, and healthcare are generally handled independently. I'm not sure if there is a "right to transportation". Most rights originate from a basic "right to a happy life" ideal, but are split up and spelt out in particular sub-rights that are easier to enforce in court.

Article 8 of the ECHR and similar human rights conventions seem to come close, but that's mostly used against governments and laws.

I don't think it's a bad idea to introduce such a right, but it needs to be carefully worded or it will cause a lot of trouble.
The DMCA requires that you assert you own the copyright on some work (under penalty of perjury), and also that some other work infringes on that (no penalty at all).

Adding liability in the case that the work is found not to be infringing, including substantial punitive damages paid to the accused (covering their time, emotional distress of being targeted by a lawsuit, attorney fees, and some amount extra) and the hosting provider (for wasting their time), would be a good reform.
Yeah, I think PLC is awesome, but it's also just a whole parallel technology stack that has to be maintained and supplied. This is not such a heavy burden because it's mature technology, but it's not nothing. And while cellular and RF technologies in general are useful for many things, PLC is really only useful for this one kind of (lossy, high-latency, low-bandwidth) communication about electrical networks.
> But where does it get wetter? It's not helpful if the air over the oceans gets wetter while the air over dry regions gets dryer.

On average, global land areas have seen more precipitation since 1950. But even as much of the world has become wetter, some regions have become drier.

To be fair, the ammonia engine is an obvious holdover from their hydrogen attempts (which make sense in the specific context of Japan*). If they have the tech and they're not outright scrapping it, they might as well spruik it in case it works out.

*So, Japan imports most of the energy their electrical grid comes from, largely in the form of LNG. If Japan wants to move away from fossil fuels, then that new energy source needs to come in some form; importing liquid hydrogen has seemed an obvious prospect for years now.

This is important because if Japan's future electrical grid will run on hydrogen anyway, then a BEV's energy chain will be (imported hydrogen)->electricity->battery->car, whereas a hydrogen FCEV will just be (imported hydrogen)->electricity->car. Thus, hydrogen stands to be more efficient than BEVs in the specific context of future Japanese logistics.

But where does ammonia come into this? Simple: Ammonia, being NH4, has been considered as a better method of transporting hydrogen instead of liquid hydrogen (hydrogen has great specific energy (energy-per-weight) but literally the worst energy density (energy-per-volume), and ammonia could fix that. If so, then a car engine that uses ammonia directly could be more efficient than a hydrogen engine that's fed from ammonia anyway.
The DMCA does not allow 1, and they risk the possibility of legal liability if they do 2. The DMCA has no concept of fraud prevention builtin, and any efforts a web operator takes to prevent fraud fall into a legal grey area that could increase the operators liability. This is either a flaw in the DMCA, or a.feature, depending on who you are.

Dividends aren’t capital gains, they’re taxed as income at the marginal rate.

Unrealized wealth is exactly that, unrealized, which is why we don’t tax it. If you want to live a wealthy lifestyle and all you have is unrealized wealth, you will eventually have to realize some of it to pay for things, at which point you get taxed.
As another commenter pointed out, it cannot be instantaneous because the DMCA requires at least 10 business days before you can restore the content. So that way they would not be following the DMCA and thus not be eligible for the safe harbor. From [1].

The animated doors I've seen in bars are transparent LCDs, but the Walgreens screens in the businessinsider article above appear to be opaque & have a full (thick) monitor backing when opened. So they're... even less futuristic???

> Most countries will want their share of your property of you try to move out,

Under your model, what happens if I buy property and default on my military/police payment? Presumably I at least lose the rights to access that property, and I likely also lose rights to the property itself (since I'm no longer paying for its defense).
The industrial/corporate training provided at the university level is generally very very low. Doctors/Dentists/medical professionals are often thrust into systems where they are expected to handle billing and patients and paperwork and legal responsibilities. Experience during a residency is not sufficient if you are essentially starting your own business, even if you are joining an existing office.

Becoming an employer with responsibility for employee supervision, benefits, payroll, rent, etc is ignored in medical school.
If I get this right your product seems to be aimed right at the center of the PH audience, right?

It also seems like a lot of what you are doing is the good old fashioned hard work of marketing one would do for a product like yours. If I think of doing all this just to get #1 on PH it seems exhausting but most of it was you should be doing even if PH didn’t exist and it’s clear that you are not just hitting #1 on PH for that sake of hitting #1 on PH but rather you are able to turn that into being newsworthy and getting media coverage that is every bit if not more valuable, right?
> [...] You can save a lot of power by knowing what is going on [...]

I'm really curious how you go from "smart meter" to "save a lot of power". Just because I have a smeter, I won't save money. My regular meter already shows power consumption (not that convenient, that's true) and my smart meter won't tell me what actually uses my power. So, regarding saving power, it's the same as with a regular meter?

How do you save energy by having a smart meter?

There's a common talking point about corporations not paying their dues.

- A megacorp that pays 0% in income taxes still pays a ton of sales tax on things it buys

- Every employee pays income tax, sales taxes, income gains taxes on their investments, and eventually death taxes

- The owners pay taxes on dividends received and capital gains in rising share prices, and all the same sales et al taxes as the employees on the remaining amount.

- The economic activity generated by the 0% megacorp will create higher incomes for other corporations, all of whom are subject to the above taxes, and not all of whom manages to avoid all income taxes.

The fact is that dodging tax is at best a temporary aberration. There are many financial tricks to delay and minimize taxes, but the government will always take its pound of flesh eventually.

Also, at some point the owners of that money will spend it / gift it / die and then it gets taxed.

Even in the USA, where these corporations are supposed to rule the roost, government spending as a % of the economy has been skyrocketing for the past century.

Even if the government banned all income tax, they would stealth-tax us by issuing bonds and inflating the currency away.

To boost their careers, top bureaucrats the world over need their headcount to keep growing, so they demand blank cheques from the productive with an air of moral sanctimony that's almost impressive.

I fully support reasonable taxes to feed & educate the children of the poor and many other nice things, but the bureaucracy is a monster that never stops growing unless we make it.

Something to keep in mind next time John Oliver goes on a rant.
I have an Optiplex with an i7-2600 and 1050 Ti in the basement. We use it to Parsec games onto my wife's laptop when she (rarely) gets the itch to join in with our boys playing games.

Was the 9700K -> 7700X upgrade a nice jump? I've been running MSI afterburner and keeping an eye on GPU usage and am often only using ~80% while well under my monitor's FPS limit. It doesn't show any CPU cores pegged but I assume that's my bottleneck.
The gas pumps are the worst. I had to stop for gas in a (relatively) shady neighborhood pretty late one night. I was the only person getting gas and it was relatively quiet around. Though people were walking around and such.

All attention was drawn directly towards me with this screen blaring advertisements at me. I as very much "put on display" in a way I did not enjoy.

As far as walgreens goes. I hate dealing with them. They charge premium prices for every item. But their parking lot is always dirty and unkempt; and their employees are less than helpful; and there is always a line. I'd rather just go to CVS and use the self checkout.

Is it allowed to be said publicly now? Just a year or two ago such comment would have been downvoted to oblivion, perhaps even risking a ban from whatever platform it was posted on.

I wonder where does it come from, treating EU as some sort of divine deity not capable of any wrong doing and such an effort to sweep its flaws under the rug while chanting "EU is great!".

It's probably the most corrupt and undemocratic organisation on this side of the planet.
It's good enough for government work!

I agree with the author's call to action though:

"As engineers, we can, and should, and will do better. We can have better tools, we can build better apps, faster, more predictable, more reliable, using fewer resources (orders of magnitude fewer!). We need to understand deeply what we are doing and why. We need to deliver: reliably, predictably, with topmost quality. We can—and should–take pride in our work. Not"
I kind of doubt rates will go up like that. It's not like BMWs, Audis, etc are much cheaper to repair (by "authorized repair shops" at least), and those similarly are not wildly more expensive to insure.

I've probably missed an important detail here, but if the post-quantum algo can be broken on classical computers, what use is it, vs. a combination of classical and quantum computers?
It's my understanding that https://www.armbian.com/ has quite broad hardware support, and there are boards from Orange Pi and Pine64 that boast actual mainline kernel support, so this is more a case of a fragmented ecosystem than there being zero competitors that can meet or exceed pis.

Quantum factoring may not be quite as far distant as you might think

Most importantly, Shor is not the algorithm of choice for first-gen hardware where the central challenge is likely to be circuit depth due to error correction overhead. The current front-runner is a probably proposal by Regev [0] with a space-optimization by Ragavan et al. [1], which factors an n-bit integer with O(n log n) logical qubits and a circuit depth of O(n).

What you should be looking for when studying quantum computing press releases is "fault tolerance": A central problem in QC is that the underlying hardware needs to be better than an (architecture-specific) threshold, before error-correction can be applied without introducing more errors than it corrects.

Nobody has really crossed the threshold yet with scalable hardware, and when someone does, the overhead will be abysmal (2 or 3 layers of error correction, each with a factor ~100 overhead in space and time). Still, there are two reasons to be optimistic:

One reason is that once a system crosses the threshold, any improvement in hardware will result in exponential improvements in the encoded operations, meaning that there will be a Moore-style exponential development.

Another reason is that there are several "dark mode" VC-funded companies working towards intrinsically scalable systems based on optical QC: If any of these achieve fault tolerance, they will be scalable from day one.

Seems silly to debate a hypothetical tax you extrapolated from a single sentence.

The "billionaire's tax" Biden proposed earlier this year is closer an income tax that also includes unrealized gains and only if there are tens of millions in unrealized gains in that year.

That said: you pay property tax even if the value of your home declines. It's not that crazy.

Just loved this quote from the Cooler Screen people:

>When you think about it within the context of "I'm in front of an ice cream door and I want to buy," you have the ability to isolate the message to exactly what a consumer is focused on at this point in time based on the distance that they are from the door.

This also is achieved by a sign taped to the glass saying “ice cream, buy one get one free,” but where’s the VC money in that?

> Can you really be ripped off by psychics? It's not like you can sue a church because your prayers haven't been answered, so I'm not sure of religion or spiritualism can be a "rip-off".

Well, I would suggest that both are a "rip off" in the sense that they offer claims without evidence.

But a distinction that I see between religious services and psychics is that religious services are not offering financial transactions in direct exchange for services. They ask for donations, and they may make claims such as "God answers all prayers", but you are typically not offering a religious leader money in exchange for some sort of quid pro quo like having a prayer answered.

A lot of "psychics" offer their "services" as "entertainment" in order to avoid claims of fraud. But the fact remains that a lot of people still believe.

My wife and I are performing magicians, and we make it clear that what we do are parlour tricks. And yet I've performed "mind reading" tricks for people in the past who were absolutely convinced that what I did was not a trick even though I presented everything as "magic tricks." It's fucking insane and deeply uncomfortable. I totally get why Penn & Teller stay away from mentalism entirely. And I think this is your point: if someone is determined to accept a faith based belief system, can they really be "ripped off" when reality doesn't deliver their fantasy.

In my opinion, it depends what you offering and the audience / demographic that you are targeting. Magic tricks for entertainment presented as tricks is one thing. A "psychic" (even one that offers a "disclaimer" that it is entertainment) who knows full well they are catering to people that want to believe it is "real" know what they are doing. It gets particularly heinous when these con artists prey on grieving people who just lost a loved one. It's hard not to view a con artist presenting bullshit to a mother who just lost her 12 year-old daughter in a car accident as not ripping them off.
Sure, but two wrongs don't make a right.

The civil lawsuit by individual victims won't be effective. If it does, Alphabet and other US-based tech companies should have been behaved better decades ago. For them, this civil case means nothing. Think about it. Are you and all the people you know going to boycott Alphabet just for this particular civil case? No way.

The better solution is make a regulation which makes Alphabet and its boards criminal if they ignored it. But it looks like defamation isn't more important than copyright infringement in US.
> It may be surprising, but wall street firms (for example) don't have a concept of "Unrealized capital gains".

This is just false in my experience, well atleast for how you've stated it.

It may be true for some particular company but I don't know a single fund that doesn't track unrealized cap gains. Specifically around this time we start to look at how to defer realizing these gains till next year to push off the tax burden until the new year.

I mean, alot of large in the money option trades get written at this time of year just to lock in a price on a position that expires next year. We wouldn't do this if we didn't track unrealized cap gains.

Heck, the single largest impediment to growing wealth is taxes, we fixate an awful lot on the type of tax we pay and when we pay it.

Maybe you can expand on your response as it seems completely false to me that the concept of Unrealized cap gains doesn't exist.
