I'm not sure maintenance costs are really the relevant part. It seems like the problem is that Teslas are cheaper now and thus Hertz's fleet is worth less than it was before. Additionally, they find that Teslas suffer more damage, likely from collisions or similar. Routine maintenance costs are not mentioned in that article at all.

>In short, the declining value of the Tesla cars in Hertz’s fleet—a decline directly caused by Musk’s price cuts—has hit Hertz squarely in its profits.

>Without explaining precisely why, Scherr said Hertz is suffering a higher incidence of damage specifically with its EV fleet, where the repair costs are roughly double that of a comparable gas-fueled car.

>“Studies of current EV ownership evidence lower incidence of damage and collision than for ICE vehicles, not higher as we are experiencing,” he revealed.
Musk’s price cuts then become an acute problem when one of the Hertz EVs sustains so much damage that the cost of repair is more than the asset itself.

>“Where a car is salvaged, we must crystallize at once any difference between our carrying value and the market value of that car,” Scherr explained. “The [price] declines in EVs over the course of 2023, driven primarily by Tesla, have driven the fair market value of our EVs lower as compared to last year, such that a salvage creates a larger loss and, therefore, greater burden.”

>In short, Hertz then needs to book a noncash accounting charge. Together with the higher repair costs this led to significant profit margin headwinds.

Hey if you want to pay a dealer 300-500 euro to inspect your tires and swap air filter I’m not against that - you do you. Also if you buy a german car (ev or not) then yes a mandatory inspection is warranted
Isn't it expected? Chatgpt was trained on such texts as well.
> Whereas the distro repository is reviewed by the distro maintainers. Big distros have a security team even.

I don't think it globally matters and it certainly does not scale. Are you saying that Debian devs review all code in their repos? I doubt that, and they're certainly let log4j into their repos.

We already have pretty good automated tooling for detecting known vulnerabilities in deps, and updating and rebuilding is not hard. I don't see the added value of Debian's managing build-time deps of my apps.

It should be the devs' responsibility to audit code they use in their projects (including the toolchain), as well as it should be their responsibility to package, maintain and support the final product. I wouldn't want to support copies of my projects which were somehow modified by the 3rd-party maintainers before being provided to end users.

> the vast majority of projects don't have users on all the mainstream distros, macOS and Windows

I don't need to go far, if we're talking for example about some internal corporate tools, then the vast majority of projects have the majority of their users on macOS and Windows. In rare cases some deb-based usage is supported on best effort, but any other distro -- good luck!

The situation is not much different with some public projects, almost all devs don't go further than "supply a .deb and be done", and it's lucky if they support even that.

> It is great if cargo allows you to say "builds for 50 different OSes", but if nobody ever tested them, to me it's just marketing.

Cargo is not an end-user package management tool, it's a build tool for devs, which is then used for building deb, yum, whatever packages you need. It tracks mostly just build-time deps, and for everything else such as glibc, sqlite, any other .so I have no choice other than apt on Debian. This is fine with me.

I feel like the long term equilibrium of stuff like this is that in the not too distant future, anyone will be able to easily generate weird deepfake inappropriate porn / content for anyone. It seems unavoidable.

I might argue this could be good in that this sort of stuff will become so commonplace that it won't be a big deal and people will learn (be forced to shrug it off). Up until now-ish, the scarcity of celebrity nude leaks and revenge porn type stuff made it somewhat of a forbidden fruit. I like the idea of destigmatizing this sort of stuff so that it loses power.

That said, I'm sure there will be some casualties along the way. Eg vulnerable teens who are picked on by mean girls / boys, semi-celebrities / public figures who are targeted by online trolls, etc. I hope that the prevalence of this sort of stuff enlarges the conversation around this, increasing the reach of strategies to deal with this stuff psychologically, and significantly reduces it's impact.

I don't know many celebrities or politicians, but I suspect that after they see a few weird / porn related photos of themselves, they stop caring.

> It doesn't (need to) get packaged by a distribution until a program using it is packaged.

I think this is a key difference in approach. In languages with their own packaging systems, you routinely package libraries before there are programs using them. Publishing them on Crates/PyPI/npm/whatever is the bare minimum if you expect anyone to use them!

The number of tiny dependencies can go too far - I don't think I need to mention left-pad. But the difficulty of using dependencies in C/C++, and the results of reinventing stuff, vendoring, or using kitchen-sink dependencies like Qt, don't seem optimal either. There must be a happy medium somewhere.

Reading can't have been always foundational. Most people couldn't read a few hundred years ago(according to practically any source ever). The printing press has been around less than a thousand years. Paper has only been around a few thousand years or something. Ancient Egypt is like 5 thousand years ago. The agricultural revolution is like 10 thousand years ago and the foundational skills would have changed from running, hunting, foraging to planning out fields, strength and other farming skills.Best guess is that humans have been around 100 thousand years give or take.

What is foundational changes over time and depends on what skills you are trying to build. Given math and reading have only become foundational recently, there is no reason to think the skills considered to be foundational won't continue to evolve.

You may not know this, but ESRI is more or less the Microsoft of GIS (Geographic Information Systems). While they largely settled on Python, some of the newer "add-ins" for ArcGIS Pro rely on .NET, instead.

> For tiktok to be special in this regard they would have to allow something different that went way beyond what American platforms allow

I'm not sure that's true. There's a big difference between "Some amount of degenerate content exists on American platforms which are constantly fighting to identify and remove it" and "Adversarial foreign platform intentionally creates/curates degenerate content to push it to American audiences while keeping it from their own users"

Even if you're talking about content that both platforms fully allow, if one platform targets a group and floods their feeds with certain content with an intent to harm that group that is itself a problem. The fact that it is possible to find harmful content on youtube doesn't make it the same as a platform that intentionally and relentlessly shoves harmful content in your face. I can't say how guilty tiktok is of doing that however.

Here's a funny weird little fact. The IAEA inspectors and even Mr. Grossi himself have been documenting and even 'hearing' shelling 'on a regular basis' while present on the ZNPP premises. But they've never attributed the shelling to either of the parties, not once. [1]

Isn't that unusual given how quick all the officials and media are to blame just one side of the conflict (we know which one) for everything, with or without evidence?

> Experts who are more sympathetic to take-home assignments generally support the “10-minute rule,” a framework that estimates the ideal amount of homework on any given night by multiplying the student’s grade by 10 minutes. (A ninth grader, for example, would have about 90 minutes of work a night.)

I had never heard this but this is absurd. You're already forcing kids to go to school as early as 6-7am, a full 8 hour day, and then you expect them to spend an ADDITIONAL 1+ hours on take-home tasks? Plus studying? if they have extra-curriculars and aren't a genius, forget it. Not to mention kids with special learning needs and the lack of resources there. No wonder kids are stressed.
I would wager fewer people are murdered by police too.

Now, if you are trading commercially on the appearance similarity in a way which presents, either explicitly or implicitly on your images as Swift’s, then you open yourself up to right of publicity claims in some jurisdictions, and the same may be true of revenge porn laws in some jurisdiction, even without the context being commercial.

You make it sound like the US has a constant single minded strategy, but this flies in the face of how US foreign policy actually works. US foreign policy is typically reactionary.

This was very apparent during Trumps tenure in which the foundations of NATO were being questioned. Even at this moment, during the current election cycle, we have a number of candidates who are talking about a more isolationist, laissez faire response to things, including the current conflicts.

The US, being a country with democratically elected leader, has on many occasions through its history pivoted significantly in its foreign policy as certain parties and ideologies gain and lose traction.

This is in clear and direct contrast to countries like Russia and China with governments run by small groups over many continuous decades directing specific foreign policy strategies.

Django, not Flask, is the better choice for beginners' first serious web development projects.

While Flask's simplicity and clear API make it great for learning and suitable for experienced developers, it can mislead beginners about the complexities of web development. Django, with its opinionated nature and sensible defaults, offers a structured approach that helps novices avoid common pitfalls. Its comprehensive, integrated ecosystem is more conducive to growth and productivity for those new to the field.

This doesn’t seem very complicated

Assume that you have n number of hours per day in the classroom scheduled for instruction

Assume also that you have a curriculum, which requires H number of hours to successfully complete (at the mean time to complete)

Depending on the ratio of n::H will determine the number of students who need to have homework and how much

You then adjust either n or H based on desired measurable outcomes and then iterate

One aspect of Japanese culture that deeply resonates with me is its unique connection to the geographical landscape. It seems intricately woven with the very essence of Japan, a nation shaped by the terrifying reality of earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and volcanoes.

These influences appear to have profound influence on the collective mindset of the people. The constant reminder of impermanence has sculpted a distinctive perspective on life, rendering the cultural tapestry of Japan something that feels intrinsically tied to its specific time and place.

I often reflect on this thought -- Japan could have only ever happened in Japan.
You can verify your config with netplan-try. This works fairly well for me with the timeout feature. Additionally you could write a bash script that basically replaces the netplan config to the old state when the machine is no longer able to ping (or similar).

You can also experience ketosis as part of autophagy during the final throws of stage 4 cancer (i.e., when you can no longer eat and starve), but at that point, the cancer is growing strong rather than shrinking.

Rivian consistently ships a lot of new features and improvements, you can see the changelogs here [1]. I think you can pretty fairly critique a lot of them with: They are just solving a problem that they created by making it too techy, or they are shipping stuff they should have completed before releasing the product. I do think its hard to argue that the updates aren't adding anything of value though. There's convenience stuff like pet mode or bird's eye camera view that were added after release, but there are also things like new driving modes (soft sand and snow) or improved DC charging curves and smarter battery conditioning that legitimately improve the quality of the product as a vehicle.
