Let's draw a more complete picture with "car XC60 diesel" which needs 65 litres to cover 1000km. It's maybe 20% more efficient and 20% cheaper than car A, and with even cheaper fuel. Yet you picked your less efficient, more costly XC60 PHEV because...

> in my use case I'm within the EV only range nearly every day

Aha! Progress! EV only range didn't matter to you until just now despite my mentions, probably because your car has a meager 30km peak range while the U8 can do ~200km. So the U8 is for people who want an EV that's good for any daily commute (even with A/C or heating), with the engine for road or off-road trips. I guarantee you nobody sees these 2 cars competing in any segment.

> It doesn't, but I don't see any point in explaining to you how my own car works

Luckily you don't need to, we live in the information age. You said 10kWh battery, Volvo says it's good for ~30km in ideal conditions.

My friend, your car was the peak of compliance cars, built only to fetch the EV subsidy, with the tiniest of batteries in that segment, and less EV range than you're implying. You insist on combining it with the tank of gas so it looks marginally more efficient than the Chinese luxury tank. But almost nobody cares about that combo. People care about EV range or gas economy. Your car is a bad at both, with the comically short EV range and an inefficient gas engine pulling 2.5t. Why bother trying to make it look better by some skewed metric nobody cares about?
How interesting - I'm British, and I got the joke immediately. Yet, I'd hardly move my mouth if someone asked me to put on a frown. I'd never really thought about that one before.
I feel like this pattern occurs in too many companies across all sectors:

1. Company is product-quality focused

2. Beats competition and creates mini-monopoly

3. Sales becomes somewhat inelastic to changes in quality

4. This leads "cost-cutting" and marketing focused execs/decision making to beat out product quality execs/decision making

5. Company's product quality takes predictable linear path to the bottom
It's unclear from the article whither you are correct or you are offering a straw-man argument. Obviously the situation you are positing

1. You posit a distorted idea of "tyranny" - you extend it to all morals

2. You assume a second stage of Satan Worship, which might not be present.

From the article it seems far more likely to be an Atheist club that chose a name to cause debate about the cultural capital religion has.

Bear in mind that for centuries the church has been used as a means of control and to support autocrats and persecution. It's far more likely the Satanic club is objecting to that use.
Problem for Hertz is that everyone wants a Toyota. Why sell a fleet at fleet pricing when you have 100k in the retail waitlist queue.
The only version we have is from God following Satan's planned coup who just says a bunch of mean things about Satan's character. We know that Satan led around 1/3 of the angels in his coup.

Whatever Satan was fighting for, it was something that he managed to persuade a large amount of God's supporters to join him in fighting for.

That lack of clarity creates a blank canvas to suggest your own reasoning. Certainly, in the majority of cases where a significant number of people fight back against an uncompromising and absolute authority, they are fighting against the coercive control involved.

But that doesn't really matter because Satanism isn't really about Satan in the same way that Christianity isn't really about God.
It's the opposite. Supposed advantages often get you into trouble.

Constraints, in this case not being able to drive for eight-straight hours, is a good thing. Constraints are often a good thing because they introduce just enough friction to prevent us from harming ourselves.
Meh, YC started out dealing some money, advice and contacts to college kids.

I'd bet most of them don't regret it, but a survey would make a nice dissertation for some grad student: "Outcomes of venture capitalism in the early XXI century, a study of monetary and spiritual results for startup participants".

Does anyone else remember the 27C3 presentation on this? My take away was that Stuxnet was _largely_ enabled by 0day vulnerabilities in Microsoft's products. The especially damning one was the print spooler script running vulnerability.

Anyways, from this perspective, even back then, the analysis was pretty thorough:

(IANAL) The amount you win in a lawsuit has to be based on actual damages so if you want to sue for emotional distress it has to fit the legal definition which depends on the jurisdiction. Since emotional distress isn't bound to any hospital bills or other quantifiable harm, it generally pays quite a bit more.
The allure of short term profits is largely the point of all companies. Google in particular was never decent, they struck data harvesting gold with Search and Maps, then used the infinite money they were making off of advertisers to ensure that no other option besides Google could ever be viable, through manipulation of search results, manipulation of business customers, regulatory capture, etc. Now they are free to let the quality of their products slide into the abyss without fear of users jumping ship. Where would we jump to? This is what every tech company you've ever heard of has been striving to do for a couple of decades now. It's either that or create hype -> pump valuation -> sell the business to a larger entity before they have to answer for long-term stability.
I love hearing that from people :P
I thought Tesla's were low reliability across ALL vehicles (ICE included) but were the most reliable of all EV's?

I guess it comes down to what "reliable" means. In my opinion if it has a failure but runs, drives, is safe and comfortable it's "reliable". For example I read lots of complaints about squeaks or rattles when music is played. I don't call that "unreliable"

Yes, that sounds likely to be good business. The purpose of a commercial isn't to provide a thorough and unbiased technical brief, it's to cause more people to buy a product.

The imperative part is required to build a Web Component.

When you merely import it. you can use it as declaratively as any other HTML tag. Basically Web COmponents allow you to add your own tags that are rendered as components, and freely mix "built-in" and "custom" DOM nodes in your document.

> Baugh's lawyers said he faced pressure from former eBay CEO Devin Wenig to reign in the Steiners over their coverage of the company.
Mr Wenig, who stepped down in 2019, has not been charged in the case and denies knowledge of the harassment campaign.

I'm no D.A. but isn't this the spot where the prosecutor offers Baugh a reduced sentence in return for testifying against Wenig?
We just bought an EV (VW ID4) and it's fine, but the charging situation in the US is kinda fucked for road trips. Besides usually taking way longer than filling up gas, making sure there are charging stations on the way is a pain, they might fill up and then you're kinda just screwed (have to wait a long time for people to move), and the UX for these things is atrocious.

Gas filling is dead simple and fast even though I have no 'account', but filling up our EV at an Electrify America station takes considerably longer to start even with an account already present. The UI on the charging station is really clunky and slow, with some extra steps there for apparently no reason.

I've also heard plenty of stories of persistently broken chargers on various networks, only Tesla seems to have their shit together for EV charging.

More range, more charging stations, faster charging, easier charging, more reliable charging, these are all necessary imo.
The sense that you are a valuable part of a team is an intentional illusion, meant to safeguard your productivity and sanity. The "impersonality" of layoffs is the reality of your relationship with the company all along.
That's literally what Google and other tech company do when required.
There's no problem mailing dead animals:

There's some other restrictions on mailing dead wild animals, but mailing livestock carcasses is not restricted from what I can see outside of those broad guidelines.
> And I never said video games can't handle text. I said it can't handle at the same level as the OS or browser.

The actual metric is “can they handle text at a sufficient level”. I’m inclined to say yes.

> Due to the rendering model of game engines, you won't be able to leverage 40+ years of OS development and 30+ years of browser development. You gotta restart from scratch.

Oh baby don’t threaten me with a good time.

Web browsers are kinda terrible at UX. Native mobile apps are sooo much better than web.

> There are exactly zero game engines or game engine libraries currently that provide the automatic accessibility at the level of something like Electron. This is something else that must be rebuilt from scratch.

It’s weird that you say “nothing to level of electron and therefore must start from scratch”. As if there aren’t already libraries and utilities to build off of. At the end of the day electron “just” uses the documented Windows API! It’s not a trivial project. But it’s hardly insurmountable.
Tilt is pretty good for that, it will sync files into containers automatically (no rebuild) and can rebuild the image if some other files change (configured by you).

I really wish Linux swift was a thing. I’m a relatively new cs person, I’m going to grad school and doing interdisciplinary work where I am making all sorts of neural networks. So by default my language of choice right now is Python. But I’d love to get sharp at Swift! I like the syntax, I like how I could use it to write apps for my phone, I like how it’s fast.

But my daily driver is a system76 Linux box running PopOS… that’s not a swift friendly environment. I guess the best compromise I’ve found for stuff I want to run in both places is Pythonista? Which is fantastic to be clear, but iOS is really constrained…

I want the ML infrastructure of Python, the speed of C and the ability to write fast cross platform apps in a syntax that isn’t confusing violence… Save me programming language nerds.

It is, when you know what you are doing, and your peers know what they are doing. If you are a Python/JS shop, even if you get your dependencies right, one dev has the wrong Python version (because they didn't update), or wrong NPM version because they just joined the company and downloaded the latest obscurely incompatible version (because one of your deep dependencies breaks the build process). True stories from the battlefield. Of course other environments might have it easier. Containers can solve some of that pain (with other pain!).
Good for them. Either keep religion out of schools, or learn to accept that there's a wide variety of beliefs and that might mean some religions you don't feel comfortable with also holding events.
Google's daycare wasn't like that in so many ways, though.

* You don't just take your kids in to work with you. The Google daycares were not any closer to whatever office you happen to work in than some third-party daycare. [edit: they weren't particularly close a long time ago when Google was concentrated in North Bayshore, and then became even less so as Google's offices were spread out more and people bounced around more often, and then became even less so with wfh...]

* You can't actually get in. There was a waitlist and your position on it actually got worse over time (because sibling priority), then later a lottery system where you pay money to play but never win.

* From what I heard recently from a daycare provider (I can't directly verify), it wasn't very good if you did get in. The typical tenure for a teacher was like a month, which is shockingly bad. Like how do you screw up pay/work environment so badly that's possible? And their understanding of children's needs wasn't great either. For example, they organized the kids into rooms by age (which is common but not universal) and...had no transition period at all or hint to the kids that these transitions were coming. They were just in one room one day with one set of teachers, then unexpectedly in another room with another set of teachers the next, which was super confusing and alarming to them.

* It was supposedly subsidized but still strangely expensive. [edit to add: when I first heard about it, this was explained to me as a consequence of it having very high-quality staff who are paid well, but this doesn't match up with the bullet above. Maybe what I heard from the daycare provider was wrong. Maybe quality has gone downhill. Maybe it was never good. I think there are a variety of factors that would have allowed it to continue existing until now without ever having been good. An absolutely tiny proportion of interested people actually were able to try it. Those who did probably felt very lucky to get in and disinclined to complain/give up their exclusive spot, and folks on the waitlist disinclined to listen to their complaints... additionally, many of the parents who went there had never had kids in another daycare to compare against...]
How? What about a bar? A stadium? Is it just the number of people to you, then? If I can pack enough people who agree with me into a field, do I now own that field?

You either agree that people who own things get to decide how those things are used, or you think that people don't get to own things. There's no "well, a lot of people use this thing" exception to property ownership.

Or, I guess you could try to nationalize the space since so many people use it, but I'm guessing "as you get older" any form of government is objectionable, despite this being exactly what you seem to want.
As is Boeing.

You should check out Devbox (https://jetpack.io/devbox) if you want local dev without the container overhead.

It provide a nice interface for creating native, local dev environments using the Nix package manager, which is especially helpful if you or your friends struggle with the Nix language. It also lets you use your local tools with your dev environment.

The article seems really thin. I'd be curious what decision-making process went into the situation where "McDonnell Douglas bought Boeing with Boeing’s money". Was the MD management team just savy about mergers? Were consultants pushing for "value creation" involved? Or what?

Anyone have a better link?
Agreed. Second most popular EV here in Australia is an MG. Which is a state owned CCP company. Is Musk worse than the CCP/Xi Jinping? Really?
I was just talking to a friend who was going to buy a Tesla, got turned off by Musk, and bought an ICE SUV instead.
Marketing and adding features to eke out more sales in a space where tiny edge case populations are last remnants of growth it would seem.

I have been amazed over the years how much I can do of everyday work using simple lightweight alternatives. This is good example. Wordpad and Write were fine for quick docs or editing. I used ONLYOffice until found out was Russian based business .

Must admit though that office365 online editions now are "good enough" for everyday work and desktop quality of office tooling needed rarely in my work.
I imagine it's a necessary component to assessing damages. Aside from the criminal component, the claim of inflicted pain/suffering is necessary if they want to seek damages.

IANAL, but I suspect that claims along the lines that it didn't bother them, they found it amusing, etc would result in a much lower, if any, assessment of damages.
I love electric cars, I currently own two of them, and owned several others before.

That said, I can absolutely understand why a person wouldn't want to rent one: lack of charging at hotels or places you're likely to visit. At home, I know I can charge at home, at the office, and I'm familiar with the supercharger locations. In a strange city, I just don't want to have to worry about it.
Yeah, the inefficiency was incredible -- and not just on the actual development side. We exceeded their throughput goals by double on the first try, before even attempting to optimize anything. The dataset we were running on was actual production data from their historical busiest day. We managed this on three 2011 iMacs running as the "servers." Their stated throughput goal was 50% higher than the actual busiest day when their architects came up with the design spec. They were just barely able to keep up with their busiest day on a cluster of 100 Windows servers.
SE Asia had been hit hard for a while. The thing is we never really had a dot com bubble. Unicorns were raising hard, selling $1 stuff for $0.90, outsourcing everything, skyrocketing growth, raised billions, repeat. VCs would frown on companies that were raising money to use it as a warchest, YC style.

It choked out funding for cautious YC style growth especially after Grab acquired Uber operations here. So everyone else did it too, the fake it until you make it mindset became prominent. Eventually everyone runs out of fund sources and have to become profitable, but it's hard when you're now public and used to losing millions every quarter. The costs is often in employees, so waves of layoffs it is.

A lot of it isn't American money, but it's bad timing.

I don't know how people can believe this, based on a paper, when many average software engineers are still employed.
>They can't say in the same sentence they include native americans inclusively and spit on them at the same time with the name Apache Software Foundation.

Who said they "spit on them" with the name?

It's obvious that the name wasn't picked as a slur or meant as such. Well, Apache isn't a slur word anyway, so I also don't see the connection to the N word.

Since you served on the USAF, do you also take offense to the Apache helicopters? Or the Tomahawk missiles? Should Egyptians take offense to the Luxor in Vegas? Or blacks to the Black Python formatter? Or Greeks to the "Greek" frats and sororities? Or Italians to Little Italy? Or the New Englanders to the Yankees?

I'm all for the Native American cause. In fact I wouldn't mind if they gave the whole of the lands stolen back (so like half the land). But at least the US should give real autonomy to the reservations, stop messing with them, stop fucking native americans over to get at the resources found in their lands (like coal, uranium and such), and make recuperatios (real, not just some token handouts) for their displacement and treatment. And it should stop pretending no real harm was being done, or that the deals with native americans back in the day weren't unequal, blackmail, strong-arming affairs amounting to theft.

But it should be things that matter. Fretting over the use of a name is closer to token white-folk causes than asking for real change.
At $4k per kid you’re looking at $48k a year, could probably hire a nanny at that point if you have two or split with another family.
Profound observation. Further technology from here onwards is only the science fiction level.

Computers that can display information on back of your eye lids maybe (with gadgets no more than an earphone while lasting several days on a charge) so that you don't even have to hold your phone.

But that's really far far into future and even probably downright forbidden by the physics.
> Is google turning into a pure cash cow with no ambition?

I'm an outsider, but Sundar is a man who knows how to make the money machine print money. I'm sure he would claim that he is all for innovation and research, but if you're at google but not a part of the immediate money machinery, I doubt if he thinks about you at all.
Dunno if thats true.

Assume mid range 200w gpu. Assume 20 eurocents per kWh (I live in the northern europe and pay about as much on a flexible contract). Assume a decent PSU. A year of gaming (assume, very optimistically, 365hrs) is circa 17 eur for the electricity. Considering relative perf differences, I'd say a discrete GPU compares favourably.

I use an older version of "Windows Firewall Control". Regarding Outlook, I block ALL, except the server(s) that Outlook needs to contact in order to collect emails (i.e. you may have a couple of gmail accounts, etc.)

The pros: Outlook doesn't get to speak to MS
The cons: When an email has linked images, they don't load, which for the past 20+ years hasn't been a problem.
