Computer chips use ~1.5V or so these days. Why go 48V->12V->1.5V when you can go 48V->1.5V directly? If it's more efficient to use an intermediate voltage, you can choose the most efficient intermediate voltage internally rather than using 12V.

I've been a member of my school's paid Rivals.com forum for over 20 years. It's great. Generally localized to my area with people who went to my university. The fact that it's paid keeps out bots and spam traffic too.

Over the years it's been great for local events, national, sports talk (of course), contractor recommendation, general life advice, people going through tough times getting support. Even saved one member's life who was deeply depressed after a divorce.

Highly recommend it. People these days seem to really take for granted to community bonds that collegiate sports create.

Should a mail worker be able to decide who gets their mail and who don't?

For example as a mail worker should I be able to opt out from delivering mail to politicians whose political statements I find deplorable?
To be fair, one solution is new regulations but another is removing legal protections. Consumers have effectively no avenue to legally challenge big tech.

At best there are collective action lawsuits, but those end up with little more than rich legal firms and consumers wondering why anyone bothered to mail them a check for $1.58
I agree that in a free market, workers should be able to unionize freely.

Having said that, this CFO is also an actual person who did actual work. Business owners don’t hand over this much pay & equity for nothing.

> This word is roughly pronounced "ick", "thee", "oh", "fuh", "thirius".
That's very close in Russian (and other Slavic languages FWITW); if I were to transliterate Russian pronunciation it would be "ikh-tio-fte-rius".

> The surprising thing in English is the ph-th bit

Interesting! I thought it would be the "ch-thy" part since "ch" usually sounds "t-sh"-ish in English, like "child".

I wonder if in English this phoneme uses the "k" sound only for words like "chrysanthemum" or "chrysalis" borrowed from Greek-ish languages.

> I don't know the actual Russian names but it will be similar.

Actually "ф" is just "ph" as in Philadelphia and "т" is "t", very close to how it sounds in the word "term". I think the key difference is that the "th" (sounds like in "the", "they", etc.) phoneme is a separate letter so it's decoupled from "t".
For me I just lived somewhere with a lot of companies close by. I’m not saying everyone can or should do this, I just think a factor in the large sentiment gap between people who think RTO is crazy vs people who think WFH is crazy might be that one group has put themselves through hellish commutes for years and the other hasn’t.

Zero precedent for this. Scandinavia has had the same economic model since WWII. There is a pattern of foreign companies naïvely blundering into it. But that has never changed that it's a valuable (i.e. wealthy, capitalist and early adopting) beachhead into Europe, from America, and the West, from Asia.

This fight Tesla got itself into was avoidable and predictable. The escalation, too, to the region and--soon enough--continent, is also as predictable as it is unavoidable (absent a course correction from Tesla).
We are approaching more regulation of tech than of major known bad industries like oil & gas, largely due to negative media coverage.

I think end to end encryption should be the minimum requirement for any private / direct messaging in any chat application. Group chats and larger I don't think it's as necessary since the guarantee that the conversations will be leaked is much higher, just reasonable encryption for those is fine. I do think its entirely possible to have a conversation that sounds incriminating out of context, and in fact is not even remotely relevant. If my shitposting conversations from my teens were taken out of context and shown in a court room I'd be facing several life sentences in an asylum.

Doesn’t matter. Even when you’re fully owned by a government, unionization allows you to do this.

This is what unionization is, protects the worker regardless of your employer.

I think the more important change that Tesla made is the change in the databus. Much higher performance ethernet. They changed the whole architecture of the car where there are now very few point to point connection, and its all essentially routed with a few major modules in each part of the car.

If you look at current cars there are sometimes huge cable bundles, lots of individual cables for everything. Its a nightmare to build up and very hard to install.

I think in their next generation assembly they will have these connection points be fixed and then just plug different sub assembly together at predetermined points. No more huge cable harness installed on completed bodies.
Considering all foreign investments account for only 8.5% of their GDP, I think they'll be okay if Tesla backs out.

Not familiar with `Clevis + Tang`, but the way I would solve is my implementing an IPC mechanism where an external process can provide the encryption passphrase.

This would allow syncthing to start at boot, but untrusted devices would start in paused state. Once an external process connects and provides the passphrase (libpam module for login integration?), syncthing would start syncing devices which require the passphrase.
They're almost all private workers exercising their right of association (or lack thereof) with a person who they believe is mistreating or trying to mistreat workers.

If a "customer" walks into a store and starts mistreating workers, it's totally reasonable for them to tell the customer to buzz off, and for their employer to support them. What kind of terrible boss or society would force workers to service their abuser?

If elmu wants to throw his money around to exploit and abuse workers, he can do it somewhere else. Few others seem to be having this issue, so it seems the root cause is him and his behavior. Whether or not he fixes himself, Sweden did and will do fine without this 1 rich narcissist with oppositional defiant disorder.
Meta's Ad Data Processing Banned in EU/EEA
Regulators in the EU are just trying to hamstring American tech competitors so they can build a nascent industry in Europe.

But what they need is capital and capital is frightened by these sorts of moves so will stick to the US. EU legislators are simply hurting themselves, although I have heard that recently they are becoming aware of this problem.

Wish those clued into the dangers of big data would name the precise concern they have. I agree there are concerns, but it seems like there is a sort of anti-tech motte-bailey constellation where every time I try to infer a specific concern people will claim that actually the concern is privacy, or fake news, or AI x-risk.

I find it insane that the workers of the state-owned postal office can decide what mail to deliver based on their personal views.

Opt-in by default.

Not all unions are great, but the median unionized worker earns more than a non-unionized worker in the same field. So the main reason people wouldn't want to join a union is because they've been conditioned to think they're bad, against their own economic interests.

Yeah, I've seen React pages where a tiny icon (like a little star) is inlined a hundred times on the same page. That's a lot of extra bytes :(

At least if they're in the same JSX component, the server can gzip that SVG string so it's not as big over the wire. But if the same icon gets used in different pages, the costs multiply.

It's nice to have the OPTION of treating SVG as code when you want it to be code, but otherwise, it's better for the user to treat it as a graphic and let the usual caching mechanisms (server+browser) do their jobs.
Absolutely not! But that isn't what is happening here.

Only 12 employees of Tesla are striking i.e. not showing up to work. Those employees might very well be compensated from union dues.

The rest can hardly be called a strike. It's called "sympathy strike" but it's more like "sympathy sabotage.

For example, the postal workers (who are not employees of Tesla but of postal office) are not striking. They are showing up to work, just decided not to deliver mail to Tesla.

Some other company decided to block ships with Tesla cars from entering ports etc.

I doubt this would be legal in U.S. I certainly haven't heard of anything like that.
Serious question: does this matter? The PGP key ecosystem is microscopic in 2023, and is actively atrophying. Consensus among cryptographers is that PGP hasn’t reflected anything close to acceptable cryptographic design in decades, and its lack of adoption in serious tools and products reflects that.

Without a serious use case hanging in the balance, this is just OSS drama.
And why is organizing a strike to extract more value to yourself not also considered merit?
Mild hybrids have been using 48V for a long time. There isn't much new here except that Tesla decided to do every component. That's going to cause quality problems with parts if they remain a tech. island in the industry, so trying to get everyone else on board makes sense.

> If union membership is really the way of life in Sweden, is there anything preventing the government from a legislative solution?

Nordic countries actually have relatively weak labour laws. What might be handled in legislation in US (e.g. minimum wage), is handled in collective bargaining agreements, that are negotiated between trade unions and employers' associations.

And the trade unions and the employers' associations like it this way, that the power is in their hands, and not in legislation. A government that would try to step on their turf, would be asking for a lot of trouble.
> which for some reason

Didn't you just explicitly say the reason? A SWE can go off and make Google in their Gargage; a EE can't make a fab in their garage.
This system has been in place for almost 100 years. Literally all other multinational companies shrug and negotiate an agreement with the unions, they know that Swedes are pretty cheap labor all told and that strikes are exceedingly rare here. The only reason Tesla is having problems is because Elon Musk is on an ideological crusade, there is no way this is economically rational.
It's unclear to me that Gemini/Bard isn't connected to the Internet.
1. You have transportation costs. 2. I believe their economy was in a shutdown somewhat so market was askew. 3. If they are the major buyer but lithium being sold to them is monopolistic market structure in its origins then supplier can set the price.
4. They buy lithium in long term contracts so spot price is probably a proxy for whats at the margins as opposed to what the big companies are paying.
5. Speculators.

JWST discovers an offset AGN 740M years after the Big Bang
I'm familiar with this one, but there may be others: embedded systems. There is a huge market of industrial controllers that were designed around the 6502 and for which there is a large, solid, existing code base. New designs often use 6502-based controllers in order to maintain compatibility with that code base, and existing machines need to be able to be repaired.

Fun fact: the ARM is largely based on the 6502. You could argue that the 6502 was a RISC chip before RISC was a thing!

- moving the voltage up means you can drop current

- increase the data rate by using ethernet and PoE

- using ethernet and PoE means you don’t have to run one off wires to each device, they can share a bus which results in half the copper being used in a lower voltage car

- moving the voltage up also means reduced heat produced
The technique in that paper, is likely not generalizable.

It works for EN/FR, less well for EN/DE... because English has a huge overlap with these two (more French than German) for its word by word translation. With something like Chinese, and enough time it might be able to guess its way in due to overlaps in the training data.

If you took two completely random corpus's from two languages, and jammed them into this model and handed that system to someone who only knew one language, the approach would fall flat on its face.

The correct way to maintain backwards compatibility in those contexts is to decrypt and re-encrypt, not support broken ciphers or weak modes of encryption indefinitely. The latter is security theater.
