I indirectly know someone who fits this description. (Friend of a friend, wouldn't be able to track down.)

Was part of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Chanology, got caught, went to jail. Yeah, super-illegal. But was it immoral?

If you don't know anything about the shady stuff that Scientology did, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QsCrFANMzc is a great video to start with.
> The argument is a clear strawman; it's playing down what people have genuine concerns with and focusing on the range aspect that's obviously unimportant.

The author is free to disagree about whether a particular consumer’s concerns are reasonable.

If some particular consumer believes that an EV would have numerous significant benefits for their every day driving, but is concerned that a single weekend trip per year will take an hour longer with an EV due to charging, the author is free to have the opinion that this consumer is not weighing those benefits and costs in a reasonable way.
I hope this will finally bully Australia’s Bureau of Meteorology to either implement HTTPS properly, or stop listening on port 443. Currently, https://www.bom.gov.au/ redirects you to http://www.bom.gov.au/akamai/https-redirect.html which says “we don’t support HTTPS”, which is far worse than just not supporting HTTPS. Until I found another last week¹ this was the only site I’d encountered in a little over three years of browsing with Firefox’s HTTPS-Only Mode where HTTPS was deliberately broken. (There were also another three or four with accidental breakages, mostly minor.)

I’ve tried contacting BOM by various means, but never received even a response. While they had weather.bom.gov.au it was OK because that was served over TLS, but then they shut that down last March or something for no apparent reason, without adequate replacement.

—⁂—

¹ “I’m an old-school shared host and this client hasn’t paid for HTTPS, even though by serving this page I demonstrate that TLS certificates don’t cost me anything any more and essentially just reinforcing that I’m out of touch with reality, reliving my glory days.” Can’t remember which host it was, but it was one of the pretty-well-known-in-hacker-circles ones fifteenish years ago.
You can get L2 charging at many RV parks. It isn’t what I would consider very practical though.
You are overstating the difficulty of finding and renting a public place. It takes about 20 minutes starting with looking up 'party space' on google maps.

You are also discounting the costs you have already sunk into throwing your own parties ("I have a backstock of beer and wine and cheese and a subscription to Apple Music, I can literally do it with 15 minutes notice, and have had plenty of practice at doing so.")

> What is fun and convenient for me is to have parties at my house, in the entertaining space space that does not require manual labour to reconfigure.

Good, I'm happy that you know what you want and are pleased. But I didn't say it was impossible to derive value from that.

> "kind of annoyed" by the preferences of others.

More frustrated with the way some people try to fulfill those preferences, and that every time I bring it up people get so defensive.
ETA: See also this better response to a similar question; we're myopically focusing on Twitter, but that isn't the real story here.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38863726

Musk regularly tweets about his companies. His tweets regularly move the share price, so it makes sense to me that they might regularly impact employees (not to say the share price is the mechanism by which that would happen, just that it stands to reason his tweets are relevant to the operations of the business if they're relevant to its valuation).

Also, if you listen to Musk, he has no regular personal and working hours, they're constantly intermingled.

I think many people in the thread have a misconception that because Twitter is something kinda silly that it couldn't possibly matter. I think it can be helpful to mentally substitute "Twitter" with "public statements."

As a thought experiment, if the CEO of your company went on a drunken bender (not saying this is what Musk did, just a hypothetical) and they started tweeting a bunch of really offensive stuff, do you think that could impact your job? Say, if you were a startup about to do another round of fundraising - they might alienate investors, and you might end up losing your job.
Hey, two out of those three things are kinda scary!
> I refuse to live my life as if these things aren't important to me. I refuse to average my entire life style down to my median day. My median day is boring.

Well said. And I think that you cut to the heart of what the electric vehicle advocates are doing wrong. They are telling us the only times we actually enjoy being in the car and travelling are the ones we should give up.

I don’t use a car in the city. An electric car can’t yet take me home in 2 days without perfect conditions and a tailored root.
ESP8266 as a daughterboard on a real microcontroller like an STM32. Or a Nordic device like the nrf7002, but I haven’t used that personally.
Many states are already addressing this by imposing additional fees on EVs. For example, states like California, Minnesota, Illinois, and Texas have implemented annual fees for EV owners, which are specifically designed to offset the loss in gas tax revenue and contribute to road maintenance.

In my state (MN) I'm actually paying more in annual EV fees/taxes then if I drove an ICE vehicle of comparable value
In a way disassembler output is exactly this. It’s a low level programming language, but one nonetheless.

There are tools like Remill (https://www.trailofbits.com/opensource/#binary) that disassemble to LLVM IR that can be fed back to the compiler to produce a new binary. You can actually target a different architecture, so it works for binary translation too.
Which seems to say that the Chinese government wants cheap workers for its economy, both as industrial workers and as health care for the elderly.

Is that really what's supposed to influence Chinese women to change their minds?

Is that why you think China needs to quickly increase its natality?

What if you and the Politburo are wrong, and the increase is best put off for another generation while China switches to a more culture which doesn't regard "women's labor" as free and instead pays more for socialized childcare and elder care?

Waiting would also make housing cheaper, which would make it more affordable to raise children.

It's easy for me to believe the interests of military, factory, and building concerns are overly represented in the call for raising the birth rate now, instead of waiting.
> If I had bad boss who isn't doing anything illegal or breaks company's policy, I would likely switch my job rather than taking the impossible task of fixing them if they don't want to fix themselves.

What they initially wrote the letter about the boss doing might not have been illegal, but it sounds like the government agency whose job it is to monitor this sort of thing thinks firing them for it is in fact illegal.

> It's fine in most companies to complain about the boss to HR or to the boss themselves, but not fine to complain it to someone else.

There's "fine" and "not fine" as personal opinions, and then there's "legal" and "illegal"; both of those things you listed are in fact legal regardless of whether you personally consider them "fine", but firing someone for them is not.
Can you link a resource that is able to adequately explain why they're called Key, Query, and Value? Every explanation I've read eventually handwaved this. It feels like understanding why they're named that is key (heh) to understanding the concept, rather than just blindly implementing matmul.
haha. nc1895 here. I was hella late to the game. but you may even remember me, I ran abuse@netcom.com and ix.netcom.com. I am keman-the-klueless, anti-spammers once called me. I went to abuse@home.net after ICG bought us out. Then after @home went under, I went on to abuse@exodus.net. Back in the spam fighting days before adaptive intelligent filters, it was all hard work of reading email headers, tracing things back, finding the user, and closing out their account.
T-cell is a type of cell. they can move and work. antibodies are small proteins generated by cell. usually, antibodies binding to something and help immune system work. antibiotics are some molecules we can add it into our body and only kill pathogens.

so they are different terms. in another way, if the molecules will be used as drug, it probably call antibiotic.
AFAICT it’s the BlackBerry keyboard a lot of other projects use.
Yeah, I can't imagine why anyone is interested in the world's richest man figuratively pulling down his pants down in public, shitting in his hands, and flinging it at everyone who upsets him, almost non-stop for years. All reporting on his antics must be a conspiracy. He clearly doesn't want attention, that's why he maintains such a low profile. Leave elmu alone!!!
Car fires aren't the a significant enough cause of car crash deaths to matter.

Maintenance seems to be a manufacturer problem more so than a hybrid vs others problem. Toyota Priuses have been the beater Taxi of America for a good decade now. These hybrids are troopers.

If Rivian and Tesla maintenance stories are any indication, Full-EVs seem to be an order of magnitude behind on dealing with problems during the ownership period.
Int64 wouldn't work because it's not floating point. You'd need to store the base and the mantissa separately for calculation.

However there are languages that are looking at F128 (https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/3453-f16-and-f128.html). The problem is that there isn't really hardware support for them yet so you'd do it through software.
If the edge cases are about missing charging infrastructure: this is not an inherent issue with EVs since the infrastructure for ICEs is simply way more developed. It will slowly become better as EVs become more prevalent.

It's a more difficult issue for very long range drives where an ICEs full range is required to get to the next gas station.
> You can find a road impassable because EVs almost universally have poor ground clearance.

Define: "poor ground clearance"

Tesla Model 3: 5.2"
Tesla Model S: 5-7" (in has a manually adjustable pneumatic suspension)
Ford F150: 8-9.5"

You can get bigger wheels for bigger clearances and you can also obviously put snow chains on Teslas as well.

As of September 2023, 11.05% of new vehicle registrations in Colorado were electric. It has a lot of both mountains and snow. It depends on the specific model and how cold, but a Tesla generally speaking can keep the heat on for ~72 hours or so if it is not moving in the cold. I lived in Chicago and survived three polar vortexes (the worst was -22F in front of my house) and my Tesla did just fine.
Ya if only we could be peaceful like ants!
California has ban the box, apply there
Nice! I never knew, and used dbx lots!
Iceland is small. It is smaller than the vast majority of US States. The farthest distances you can travel in Iceland requires not much more than a single charge.
It's always a fascinating sight to observe how dictatorships inevitably ruin countries. Simply because there is a force too strong for anyone to be able to object, and over time it starts making fatal mistakes not having any feedback. Chinese did that to themselves in XIX century and are repeating it again.
Given this requirement, they would be wise to have the test data be different from the example data. That would prevent overfitting optimizations.

Interestingly the government tried something similar - out of all the negotiated prices for private insurance, the government has to get the best one.

Good idea right?

Well it ended up raising prices. Because companies were happy to tell a small insurer with a good price "too bad" so they didn't have to take a massive hit on their government account.
Yeah but I can live with a gross car covered in shit that children drop and I get the convenience of a car whenever I want. I never have to pay some peak season pricing.

Owning things means you get to be your own master. That is worth different things to different people.

I know couples without kids who only rent cars but that number goes way down for people who have kids.
> My point is that there is a cognitive bias towards overweighting the allocation of resources toward low-frequency events.

As I pointed out upthread, low frequency is not the same as low probability.

It might not make sense to upfront allocate resources for a low probability event, but it certainly could make sense for a high probability event even if it was low frequency ... like a spare bedroom, or a dining room, or a car with good range.

The probability of using those things are 1 i.e. guaranteed.
… and then, right after telling ex-customers to go fuck themselves and not to come back, when asked what the plan was to replace that revenue, to offer nothing and say it “will kill” (Will!

https://supercharge.info/map

Every major automaker except Stellantis has made an agreement to obtain access to the North American Supercharger network, and there are few coverage gaps evidenced by the map provided above. On highway routes, you’re never more than 30-50 miles to the next Supercharger. Tesla’s standard has been developed by SAE (SAE J3400). Gaps will be filled and density will increase as the EV transition accelerates. Electricity is mostly ubiquitous in the developed world, anywhere with electrical service is a potential charging point (albeit at slower charge rates than 150kw-350kw).

Wyoming refused the terms for federal funds for fast DC charging stations. You cannot help those who won’t accept help, getting left behind is a choice.

>Speaking up against your employer should not threaten your job.

if you mean this as advice, ok, but if you mean it as "this needs to be a law", what are you even talking about, authoritarian much?

>That's how you get an echo chamber of horrible decisions made by the people who just so happen to sit at the top.

firing employees for speaking out might get you, the employer, an echo chamber, but perhaps for your product an echo chamber is the business strategy you chose. Steve Jobs was famous for his attention to detail, reinforcing and staying on message, "hold it up just this way, show everybody, look how thin it is! echo that or don't work here." Freedom needs to include the freedom to set a strategy and stick to it, and if setting the strategy is not your job but your dream, find that job for yourself, don't think you should get paid to undermine it for somebody else.
My hardest interview was at Roblox (passing Google and Apple). After passing the normal coding + system design questions, they throw you at leadership who ask you a random analytical question. I struggled with knowing what sort of depth to go into, and asking clarifying questions did not help.
What a goddamn joke. NLRB needs to be dissolved or given actual teeth to levy meaningful and impactful fines.

I tell the truth; tell them I’m in recovery and it’s a big part of my life (which is true). Nowadays everyone has a friend/brother/sister/uncle/parent where they’ve seen the horrors of addiction (and pop culture is educating people as well) and most people see it (recovery) as a positive thing. Leadership/managers either already know or learn quickly that I’m not going to drink too much at a work event and embarrass them nor will I ever not be able to work due to a hangover. I’ve been turned away from several jobs with my honesty but welcomed at others, from startups to national corporations.

With my record, I have to look at it as a “meant to be” sorta thing. If they turn me away after I share my past and what it looks like now, it just wasn’t the right place for me and I have to keep looking.
please explain this reference for non US/western hemisphere folks.

Sounds like work was also providing your social life?
(also sounds like your friends from work moved out of the area?) Perhaps joining some social organizations might help (gym, church, maker space, LUG, etc.)?
> It takes about 20 minutes starting with looking up 'party space' on google maps.

Sure. “Hi, I know it’s closing time, but can I rent your party space for my friends and I to drink our own alcohol in starting in 15 minutes time” is not exactly the kind of call a landlord would be particularly receptive to.

I think we’re done here.
What was your experience before and after that essay ?
The carbon comes from the ground. The car’s just the delivery mechanism. Why not phase out fossil fuel production à la the Montreal Protocol? If somebody somewhere someday can make money burning oil, they will. Buying an electric car isn’t going to keep carbon in the ground by itself.
That 10TB drive is 100% fake! Amazon is full of fakes.
A good rule of thumb right now is $60/TB, significantly less and you're approaching fake territory.
You make it sound like a dream. Where were you road tripping?
Even if you buy a house with an entertaining space, you can use it for something that you do more often. For instance, my house had a 'dining room' but I use it as a music studio/band practice room. This way it gets used every single day.
The one I typed above for the M3LR the first time was 13h34m vs 11h00m CR-V observed (2-way average). That’s the 23% increase, which I assume ABRP is choosing a time-optimizing cruise speed from the settings panel, so I took its time estimate. (I’m not a Tesla owner, so I’m taking route optimization choices at face value. My LEAF’s range suffers badly at even 70mph.)
Keep in mind she answers to Musk, you can't assume she had the leeway in this instance, especially since he likely got a bee in his bonnet about it and took an uncompromising position.
If it fits on one computer it's not a hadoop problem.
Why not buy one under 10k? How about 5k?
> immediately segfault somewhere during loading

Utterly terrifying. They somehow segfault before executing a single instruction in the program's entry point. Even the likes of gdb are rendered powerless before the might of this uber segfault. I was reduced to posting readelf dumps on stackoverflow. Mercifully people immediately spotted the problem (unsorted PT_LOAD segments).
Van rentals are basically the cheapest vehicle to rent.
I think your average Republican congressperson would rather be buried alive than have that happen.
A TV will likely have multiple inputs like HDMI, USB, Cable, etc and hence presumably more parts, more complex board and higher power needs.

I might be wrong, but that's an assumption.

A 'feature' of the Samsung TV that copes with this is that it has a motion sensor and turns off when no one is around. Would love an open hardware version of this.
I should be clearer - that drive is fake if it's an SSD, it's a normal price for HDDs. Cost per TB of HDD isn't linear, though, it's a bit of a bathtub based on drive capacity and feature set (e.g CMR vs SMR)

Trying to be objective here, they really have repair problems, especially in the parts supply chain. What are people going to do in a few years when mechanical parts wear out, shorts develop from car washing and so on?

Some details:

Long article on quality and repair problems.

Andrew Lundeen, of Santa Rosa, California, was driving his wife’s 2018 Model 3 in August when he rode over a speed bump and lost power steering.

Lundeen said in an interview that a Tesla service manager told him that a power-steering connector had corroded. The manager said the likely cause was a car wash, which he described as a known problem.

Lundeen paid $4,400 to replace the steering rack and a wiring harness.

“This is the only car that I’ve ever heard of where a car wash can damage the wiring,” Lundeen recalled telling the manager.

Lundeen said he was so shocked by the manager’s frank explanation of Tesla’s part failures that he wrote it down: “All I can tell you,” the Tesla manager said, “is we’re not a 100-year-old company like GM and Ford. We haven’t worked all the bugs out yet.”

It's easy to get hung up on specific examples you can't connect with, but our entire lifestyles are centered around preferences, not needs - and I'm sure it's also true for you. All you need is a 3 x 3 x 8 ft sleeping pod, a waste chute, and a dispenser of protein slurry. Almost everything else is there to accommodate the odd whimsical desire.

Do you really need an oven? Most techies don't cook all that often, and it can be cheaper to order take out. More efficient due to the economies of scale, too! Do you really need a smart phone? Do you really need a gaming PC? There's always some other, more barebones way of achieving the same result.

We tend to have a lot of tolerance for what we think enriches or streamlines our lives, but little patience for the same in others. It's also true for politics, where we're always eager to regulate other professions or lifestyles, but not our own.
The difficulty is creating the fastest implementation. If you look at the results of the submissions so far you’ll see a big difference in duration, between 11 seconds and more than 4 minutes.

11 seconds seems pretty impressive for a 12Gb file. Would be interesting to know what programming language could do it faster. For a database comparison you’d probably want to include loading the data into your database for a fair comparrison.
Some of these are family, friends I know very well, and even myself in the past. So I have some reliable information.
The whole EV experience seems tailored to suburbia where people can keep their car near their home and drive frequently on short trips. Many of them have the EV as a second car to circumvent the road trip issue.

I live in a mildly dense city and a lot of my neighborhood uses street parking. I almost never drive for short trips and a major reason I got a car at all is for longer more infrequent trips. I'd be happy to take a train instead but it is twice the price of flying and takes twice as long as driving. Instead of trains we'll get EVs and their infrastructure subsidized, no matter how much it ends up costing.

It's not just direct subsidy. Some local ordinances now require buildings to provide chargers so people who don't drive will pay more in housing costs.
