Because we already have the 12V infrastructure and part supplies in place. You're disrupting things for no benefit. We've been running split 24V/12V systems for decades now in automotive applications. It's not that big a deal to change that to 48V/12V systems as many European car manufacturers have done.

(From the outside) it seems hard to understand why something should be effectively be mandatory without being officially mandatory.

If collective agreements are to be mandatory, the government should just pass a law making them mandatory, then that's done.

Hiding behind the claim "it's up to each employer and their employees" to decide is just silly.
If you found this perspective impactful I’d like to recommend taking a look at the teaching of Advaita (“not-two”), or nonduality.

Wayne Liquorman does free weekly satsang via zoom at Advaita.org.

A book I recommend is I Am That by Nisargadatta Maharaj - a transcript of his Advaita talks and also one of the most influential books for 2023 or any other year in my life.

An Advaita pointer (a question to sincerely investigate - which investigation brings realization) that has been productive for me, has been to observe my choices and see what caused them.

I have been doing this for years and still haven’t observed an independent force which one may call “free” will.

Wayne’s take on “authorship” vs “doership” introduces the concept of “false sense of authorship”.

Hell yeah! Let's get those lazy workers on the lines working harder. Innovation and growth at all costs. Workers are cogs and if they're not behaving correctly they should be fixed or replaced. I, personally, am happy with a 21% illiteracy rate in America - workers don't need to be literate to make my flying cars faster.

Sweden might rank top for happiness and health but that's not going to make my bank numbers get higher for my annual two week holiday.

Talks of $80 to $300 per square foot construction costs.

20 years ago, with extreme measures to save costs, salvaged materiels, and so on; I built a house for $25 per sq ft. Online calculator says that the equivalent of $42 / today. That's half buried 1.5 floors and 3k sq ft.

Perhaps we can cut the cost of housing by making houses cheaper? Do we really need layers of flooring when a cement slab and epoxy coat on top of that make a resilient, useful floor for decades?

How much of that expense is classed as "trim" that could be left out entirely without degrading any of the home's functionality?

I won't even start on the things like GFCI / "Arc fault" breakers, which would be great if they worked as advertised but are required even though they really don't.

We have a gap in home construction where the "tar paper shack" used to be; we've decided as a society that housing must be high standard or not there. This error causes many of the problems we're concerned with.
Wow, Scandinavia - Big Brother's Man Cave!

No substantial bad factory conditions or request for higher pay, "just agree to collective bargaining agreements, that's all."

I was a welder back in NY in 1997, and joined a company and I was told by the Union's lackey that joining the union was voluntary. At the end of my three months, the thug came looking for dues. He clarified, "it's voluntary, you can take another job." Since then, the taste of a mobster mentality has steered me away from unions for the rest of my life. They once served a purpose, but my opinion is they have become less important and do not really do what they advertise.

The Swedish Trade Unions are dropping due to the ratio of native workers vs. immigrant workers, so it is a matter of time before the homogeneity of the population goes down, and trade unions with it. They're partially isolated from the EU, but too dependent to not suffer the coming collapse of the EU economies. Musk could just say FU to them too. With over 125,000 global employees, and a lot of countries subsidizing EVs to hide their real costs, the 170 Swedish laborers would quickly be out of a lot of work, and Sweden can buy other EVs and deal with them. The Tesla is most popular in Sweden, then Norway, and finally Denmark. The people who have already bought them would know who was responsible for them not being able to get their Tesla's fixed - not Elon, but their own government and unions. See how many other businesses get cold feet doing business in Scandinavia from this.

Maybe we'll see graveyards of Teslas in Scandinavia like we do of EVs due to failed startups in China. No win for anyone.
Author of Exploding The Phone here, thanks for the mention and glad you enjoyed it! One thing I did that I'm pretty proud of is that I put almost all the research documents that I dug up (FOIA, newspaper articles, etc.) up on my website, where you can dig through them. E.g.: http://explodingthephone.com/search.php?q=blue+box&sort=rele... (please pardon the lack of https!) And to the other commenter about Evan Doorbell's excellent tapes about phone phreaking: I was lucky enough to get Evan to narrate the Audible version of my book!

I've looked at web bundles and a variety of other solutions myself, but the service worker approach feels like a winner so far. There's no magic, nor any bug being abused, but the client does have to trust the server to behave nicely during initial setup. After the initial setup is done, the client never again has to trust the server again as long as the browser's local storage isn't purged manually; so if the server is compromised after the initial setup, the compromised server cannot compromise established clients. It's not perfect, there's still the need for initial point-in-time trust, but it's still a significant improvement on the standard way of serving webapps where a server can compromise any client at any time.

The way it works is the server returns a unique service worker script every time, and the script file itself contains an AES key. The user trusts the server not to store this key and the server never sees it again. This AES key is then used to encrypt all persisted local state and sign all cached source files. If the server replaces the service worker, the key is lost and local state cannot be accessed. If the server somehow replaces a source file, its integrity check will fail and the webapp will refuse to load it. If the server manages to skip the service worker and serve a malicious file directly (e.g. because the user did Shift+F5), the malicious file won't have access to any local state because the service worker will refuse to give it access. The server can destroy all local state and then serve a malicious application, but the user will immediately notice, hopefully before interacting with the app, because suddenly all their data is gone.
Here is a great idea: make a forum software that uses AI to turn topics into a wiki article that is periodically updated with new information. You could for example provide relevant feeds and examine those for content relevant to the article. Similar topics could share a wiki article.

Identifying and collapsing chatter/noise could also be wonderful. Sometimes people just want to [shall we say] socialize around a topic, it's fun but also making it horrible to read up on a discussion.

People seemingly forgot the self promotional qualities of a forum. If your high quality contributions generate customers [indefinitely] it all of a sudden becomes worth your time. It takes a good mod to deal with self promotion though unproductive posts. Have to ask: Is this worth reading? If it's not it's harmful to the prestige.

I think patent reform is a great way to get to lower drug prices but this means an update to objective rules. Selective enforcement and playing favorites by wagging your finger telling execs to be nice doesn't work. Not only does it not work but it invites corruption and political targeting. Having govt dictate price (ie price controls) aren't a new idea and have failed time and time again

It's unfortunate as this will take a lot of dev time from a well running project on the page router. Remix certainly looks good, I've done a small project with it and like how actions and loaders work. But it's also less polished and has a smaller community. For instance a relative simple thing as running Remix from a subfolder was overly complicated. There is also no guarantee Remix won't pull a 180 like Next.js did. The devs have a history of breaking changes with React Router.
Aggregate statistics give you a better view than documentaries, for obvious reasons. I could make a documentary about Mafia in Sicily that could make you convinced that you would have someone asking for protection money if you started a café in Denmark.

I probably should've clarified, I am talking about x64/Intel/AMD tablets. I agree size/thickness isn't the easiest, but it's more of an engineering challenge than something impossible. I wouldn't mind an undervolted 7 or 10 Watt i5 tablet at all, and currently surface devices are the only "major" brand selling x64 tablets that I know of.

Another interesting thing regarding small/thin x64 motherboards is the existence of 3.5" ultra-small SBCs like those by Aaeon. If they didn't cost so much I'd love to DIY a tiny, thin tablet out of them. The "advantage" of a small motherboard is that you can put it in a tablet, or put it in a laptop with a better cooling system, potentially reducing the need for another new component.
The best thing to do is almost never the most fun thing to do.

If we know almost nothing about them, we have no idea if they are worse than microplastics and until we do, such headlines are just scaremongering for clicks.
Why was China paying so much more? Just to ensure they would have enough for their needs?
It can be both. Higher voltage allows longer small wires, and/or more power on the same wires. Depends on what the car needs. If it is just a few lights on the back of the car you are looking for smaller/cheaper wires. However if you are looking to put something power hungry in back (work trucks have a lot of needs around this) the higher voltage allows the same wires to deliver more power.
Yeah. One reason I am trying to stay away from food and especially fluids packaged in anything else than glass. Even aluminium or paper containers are really just plastic where it matters -- the surface in contact with food is all plastic.

Unfortunately, this isn't doing anything to the plastic already present in the environment.
This was annoying because the seller is based in the UK and claims you should buy from them because you take your chances buying from China.

There are tons of eBay sellers who bulk buy from China and then resell with a huge markup but with the convenience of quicker delivery - and the slightly fake sense of being more reliable as they are UK based.
Does it? It seems like a world without violent worker repression and criminal organized labour is mostly possible. Many things have a use lifetime. I'm sure once upon a time, I would have needed a personal firearm to protect myself out on the Wild West but today I have lived more than a decade in the US unarmed and no bandits have accosted me yet.

No doubt organized labour had value once and perhaps even the crime lords who controlled them provided societal utility but smashing the criminal element within has been good for America. It still exists but cut down quite a bit.

Only old broken soldiers still fight won wars.
In production, postgres is virtually always run on Linux. I suspect pgbench results would be considerably better. This is more of a development use case. Still, the performance degradation even in development is quite impactful.
> it's not a sympathetic strike...They aren't striking against their employer.

You're defining a sympathetic strike.

I don't have a view on whether this is justified. What I'll contest is that it was unforeseeable. It was obvious a refusal to negotiate would infuriate--it's happened dozens of times, almost always with American companies, and it's close to an element of national and regional pride at this point. It wasn't a certainty, but there was a definite risk of it escalating across Sweden. And from there it was and is a virtual certainty that it would spread across Scandinavia, and from there will across the Nordic countries and eventually Northern Europe.

This is a stupid molehill to die on for Tesla. They should bite the bullet and devolve Swedish operations to a local franchise who can enter into a collective-bargaing agreement .
That's simply another pedantic distinction to justify state-owned and state-mandated organizations not providing core government services.
ah okay well both are true: if you use tor / vpn (regardless of what DNS server is used) you are blocked from archive.is. if you use bare IP but 1.1.1.1 as your DNS, then i guess you get blocked too
It's a very sweet deal for the unions and for large employers. The unions make sure to collectively "bargain" each year for extremely low pay raises and even for nominal pay cuts for their members. In exchange the large employers force every employee to sign up for union membership. Sometimes the company itself signs the employee to the union, without any consent from the individual.

In exchange the unions get to collect their fees on the salaries of their members, which is used for political influence and funneled to political parties.
A key element of a strike is that you don't get paid.

However, it appears the striking mail workers are being paid, even though they are not delivering mail to Tesla.

That in turn gives them a lot of power, because they can keep this strike going for as long as they like with no cost to themselves.
As mentioned in the 42v article they went with that due to 48v nominal being too close to 60v max on alternator/fully charged which is the limit shock hazard.

Not sure what chemistry/cell count will be for the 48v battery (which I assume it has) but 48v could mean 13s - 16s packs.
Despite your plethora of deeply hypocritical accusations, I’m going to cut this down to the central tenet

The politics here as I perceived them...

Way back, there was a rambling and expansive process to update the OpenPGP standard. Years. So eventually it was decided to do a more focused "crypto refresh" that would be restricted to just important cryptography concerns. The GnuPG program was part of this. During the process the head of the GnuPG project (Werner Koch) spent a lot of time pushing back against what he considered pointless or wrongheaded changes. Eventually things seemed to stabilize and there seemed to be a consensus and people started paying less attention. Koch was one of those people.

The process then wound up again and a bunch of stuff that Koch opposed ended up in the standards draft. Koch eventually noticed and ended up taking the position that the GnuPG project would not follow the new changes and would instead stay where they were.

I think the very best outcome here would be if the various entities would accept that the process is working to the extent of clearly showing that consensus has not been reached and can't be reached from this point. The process will have to start yet again. The root cause here seems to be that there is no real serious issue with the existing standard, so attempts to update it lack a focus. As a result there is a tendency to try to change everything.
The divide in US (and I suspect elsewhere) politics is not Left v Right, it's Stasis vs Dynamism. In this case the "progressives" are proposing a plan that will cause Stasis or even decline...

In general the problem is not that the documents are not readable or comprehensible - I understand perfectly well that in legalese it says that the situation will favor the business in every possible legal fashion and if some of those are not legal the remaining document will favor the business in every remaining possible fashion.

The problem is they are contracts of adhesion that consumers don’t have a real interest or consideration in, other than the performance being conditioned upon your agreement, and which they do not have any ability to debate or modify or generally any recourse except to go to another business with an equally odious contract as a condition of performance.

They’re not incomprehensible, they’re unconscionable, and solutions tackling the former are missing the point.

The problem is that the same “lobbying” that produced the regulatory environment permitting such contracts to be forced upon consumers also precludes any real attempt to tackle the latter. Businesses would scream here if you forced them to follow standard consumer protections, and our system is oriented to favor their interests over consumers in nearly every possible scenario as well.

Another “continental” solution to this would simply be to outlaw contracts of adhesion or contracts in which the consumer does not receive a consideration (other than performance of the contract). If you don’t have a consideration it’s simply not a valid or consciencable contract, people don’t agree to give up money or rights voluntarily in return for nothing, therefore these contracts must facially be coercive.

From afar it seems like the issues around Maven caused Google to pump the brakes on AI at just the wrong moment with respect to ChatGPT and bringing AI to market. I’m guessing all of the tech giants, and OpenAI, are working with various defense departments yet they haven’t had a Maven moment. Or maybe they have and it wasn’t in the middle of the race for all the marbles.
No.

There is 100% value in being able to decrypt a 20 year old email. It doesn't matter if it is a broken cypher.

A 20 year old email has very little actionable in it, but can have value in other ways.

It is absolutely vital that a project like this, supports some means for a modern machine/stack to access older data.

> I don't see all the millions of very, very bad games killing the PC or mobile platforms

Firstly, unlike a PC or phone, an Atari 2600 isn't useful without games.

Secondly, without ubiquitous reviews freely available on the net, players essentially had to choose new games based on the name, box design, and copy.

Beyond that, the games weren't necessarily low-quality in the QA sense, i.e. sloppily manufactured or buggy-- most of them just sucked, were ugly, and weren't fun for your average player. Keep in mind, these weren't targeted at video game enthusiasts: they were competing with home video as an entertainment device. You have to compare their appeal with movies, rather than then-current computer games or maybe even board games.

I worked in back-end web dev roles for over a decade, but more recently got an art school education in design (concentrating in a few disciplines,) and work in games in both design and technical capacities. Many old Atari games suck because they're either fundamentally bad ideas as games or disastrously implemented. Video game design wasn't really a thing back then, so all of the design work ended up being done by the developer that made the game. Though many developers get annoyed by my saying that design is a learned skill that you don't automatically gain by being a developer, I assure you that not having any designers involved ensures that these games will be more miss than hit. To make matters worse, Atari's success essentially created a gold rush condition. Everyone who was technically capable of making a game was trying to-- probably not even realizing that's exactly what everyone else was doing. It was like 2000 people on a beach saw 3 talented people surfing a wave, so they all grabbed the nearest flat object and jumped in to disastrous effect.

Poor retail strategy was obviously a problem, as others have pointed out, but if people buying games could be reasonably assured they were good, I doubt it would have had any more effect than any other big retail miscalculation.
