This isn't really about using Explorer for file management. It is about using Explorer as the shell. That's the default setup for everybody. Changing the default steel is difficult and some programs may not be compatible with whatever alternative shell you switch to.

Most people don't want to learn a whole new shell. They just want the Explorer shell to have the features that it has had since Windows 7. Features that Microsoft inexplicably chose to remove in Windows 11 and that they are only now belatedly adding back.
How does a business that doesn't provide any service say in business?

From the article:

> How did the state-subsidized public charger system end up so problematic? California’s policies are at least partly to blame. The state chose not to require that charger companies meet performance standards as it doled out $1 billion in subsidies, grants and other assistance to charger companies, with billions more on the way.

There it is. I suppose one silver lining with this "just build chargers, any chargers will do" approach is the faulty locations that currently exist can be made reliable in time, at least the space is reserved. The state just needs to fix their broken incentives.
Yeah, this is my worry about autism research/diagnosis as well. When/If we lump together what are actually a number of different underlying causes it makes it a lot more challenging to come up with strategies for treatment.
We are talking about addicts having a bad drug crisis, so it doesn't really need to be far off from that. If it was a straight thinking thief, then ya, it wouldn't be worth it.

Frankly, a Tesla in Sentinel mode isn't far off (my parking port isn't fully enclosed, and most of the problems I have is with unhoused neighbors door checking my car and looking for things to steal there) from what I'm looking for, but I went with another kind of car instead without as nice of a tech package.
The only one benefit of proximity between industry and education is apparent. However, the current financial burdens and stringent prerequisites render these institutions inaccessible to many. High cost of living necessitates parental intervention, often negating the possibility of self-funded students. Prudent individuals are unwilling to jeopardize five years of their life and accumulate substantial debt for a potential. This perhaps elucidates the high attrition rates among higher education students.
Kind of? They are software upgradable, and I get the feeling that software upgrades are fairly common. They also have recently had upgrades to support the upcoming NACS->CCS adapters as well as to natively support NACS enabled cars.

They aren't recalls, though as this kind of thing doesn't happen with supercharger updates: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/13/nhtsa-asks-tesla-why-it-didn...

One medium to long-term strategy for most of Europe I've seen discussed is to move charging to the streetside and connect it in as a residential utility play with consumer ties -- in other words, chargers that could be used in "residential mode," where the resident just charges their vehicle directly, or in "consumer mode," where non-residents swipe a credit card and the resident gets an additional credit on the power usage.
> How did you know what you wanted in IT?

By making money - but I'm not a capitalist. When I was 12 years old I made a website about Dragon Ball Z and it became a hit and checks started to come to my house (ads but it was before google ads be a thing). I got passionate about coding after creating something out of nothing but nights of work and turn that into a revenue stream.
Most hackers aren’t finding their own 0days like this. If a motivated state level attacker targets you, you’re in trouble.

But most companies that get hacked fail in much dumber ways - like failing to update chrome long after a bug like this has been fixed. Or using stupid, guessable passwords.

Of course we should have sympathy for the 1% of companies who fall victim to 0days from state level attackers. But I have no sympathy for the other 99% of data leaks where the devs forgot to put a password on a public mongodb instance, or let their login cookies be enumerable or something equally ridiculous. Just because we can’t make security perfect doesn’t mean we shouldn’t make it good.
Now it will be absolutely impossible to accurately convey the artistic intent, when there's no way to know how it will look on consumer devices.
I spent a summer working on a fish processor in Alaska. The boat was owned by a Japanese company, registered in Seattle, crewed by experienced Philippino sailors, and staffed by Americans and Somalians.

The nature of international waters is that they are international. Focusing on where the ship was flagged or what the nationality of the crew is a really dumb endeavor. A ship on the ocean is a very useful thing and can have multiple different connections to different countries, but it can still be obvious to anyone asking who is responsible for its safety. In this case, the actions the UK took part of was part of a 12 country joint policing action.

I could imagine that in 300 years time people think that Elon Musk single-handedly invented the Turing machine, at the age of 16, during a weekend, while reading Hacker News.

I don’t know why you’re so confidently wrong about my position on quality control but it’s irrelevant to the simple fact that all of the failures we’ve seen are the responsibility of Boeing’s management: even if the unionized assembly workers are caricatures straight out of union-busting propaganda, aerospace safety is famously based on the principle of not relying on a single safety mechanism, but in these reports we’re seeing systemic failures where cost savings was prioritized over safety.

The plug-in hybrids on the market are currently not really cheaper than EV equivalents.

I don't think being cheaper is actually a given as EV batteries continue to scale up in mass production. PHEV will always mean having two drivetrains and all of the necessary accessories for both.

PHEV also only really works if you have daily home or work charging. BEV can be filled up once a week more or less like a gas car, but PHEV needs its small battery charged every day you commute to get the benefit.

I think there are definitely people and situations that benefit from PHEV. A big one is those who occasionally take long trips to remote areas, or those who tow long distance (See the upcoming Ramcharger truck). But I expect BEV to win out on price and provide enough utility for most people within 5-10 years.

Perhaps, yet how would you know if you refuse to engage with it?

I'm not sure how to respond when someone insists on remaining ignorant of alternative viewpoints and then suggests that any attempt to point out relevant arguments against their position is victimizing them.
In the commercial/industrial space, having the ability to do on-site QC visits of your supplier/manufacturer of goods is completely normal, often written into the contract itself and sometimes mandated by quality control certification standards.

Part of it is to be able to challenge QC reports submitted by the company. If you have a good you receive with QC paperwork which Boeing no doubt generates, you may want to go see how legitimate the process the paperwork is certifying.

The power of this paperwork extends into lawsuit ammo if a need ever arises.

The job of QC in commercial/industrial is legal ass-covering for both sides of a contract.

Yes but there is more than 1 CAN bus network and they are isolated from each other via gateway. So you can't just take control over infotainment and start poking into brakes. Messages won't get routed through the GW.
Of course, Akio has a vested interest in maintaining the internal combustion engine.

EVs have about half as many components as an ICE vehicle. They are cheaper/easier to build and maintain. This will allow many new competitors (such as China) to enter the EV market and drive prices down.

One breakthrough in battery technology could sink Akio's vision. And scientists around the world are working feverishly to do just that.

The EV charging station (i.e. not at my home) situation is abysmal. I get the idea is that eventually every parking lot you're in has one, but there are still concerns.

Here was my recent experience in Houston:

- staying at a family members apartment building. cool I see there is a chargepoint station in the building. the building admin (1) didn't know if there was one (2) where it was (3) how to get access to it. finally another admin told me where it was. Okay now I need a chargepoint app. Downloaded. Oops, that chargepoint account needs to be linked to a resident of the apartment. Fail, on to the next.

- Okay now I go to a movie and turns out there is a 50 kW charger in the parking. It's an EVGo. I drive up because I have no way of knowing whether it's being used or not. Parking lot is super busy and guess what - the EVGo charging block is just slammed in the middle of the standard parking lot and 3 of 4 parking spots that the power cables can reach are consumed by non-EVs. Only one car is actually charging.

- So I'm now 20 min late for my movie. I find a 6 kW charging station (24 hours to get 50% of my battery) on the other side of the building, and its in a corporate parking garage. I use the first chargepoint and says the connector isn't working. Turns out there is a small piece of plastic that has broken on 2 of the 4 charging cables. So I'm on my 3rd cable when it finally works. I'm now charging at a measily 6 kW. 2 min later I get a message saying "if you stay past 7pm, the charge goes from $1.50/hr to $25/hr"...wtf?

- Temperature drops to below freezing overnight and now my battery is degrading quite a bit. I have to stop at a Supercharger to get home to Austin. Awesome...250 kW tesla supercharger, will only take an estimated 8 minutes. Nope - it's super busy and turns out that it can only deliver 45 kW because there are 20 other Tesla's using the service. So now it's 25 minutes to charge my battery.
I disagree.

For example, in vscode if the sharer start a http-service the port can be port forwarded through the session so anyone in the session can interact with the service.

I don't get you. We are running dual stack for the time being, and indeed we cannot solve address depletion this way, but that doesn't mean we are doing it forever.

At some point -- maybe when 60%, 70%, or 80%, or 90% of the Internet is running on IPv6 -- Internet services at a large scale will begin to deem IPv4 as a liability, and drop IPv4 support along with the addresses they are holding.

I am not talking about a distant future either. We already have IPv6-only servers up and running, mine included, and we haven't even reached the 50% milestone. In a way, the existence of IPv6-only servers meant that IPv6 is _already_ preventing IPv4 address depletion, because those servers would otherwise have to compete for IPv4 addresses with the other servers too.

Furthermore, I find "I hate IPv6 because it hasn't eliminated IPv4" a really weird opinion (it's not exactly what you said, but it is how I interpret your first few comments combined) because it's sort of recursive: hate IPv6 -> continues to use IPv4 -> IPv6 is unable to eliminate IPv4 -> hate IPv6??? Perhaps you can elaborate on it further, but I don't think it will be agreeable either way.
Yeah, I'm middle-aged and ride around on an electric skateboard, including a daily but very short commute. I go out of my way (literally) to not inconvenience either pedestrians or drivers, so have had only a couple of drivers yell at me (much less than on a bike). But I do get questions and comments often.
It's a shame the research publishing industry is a bunch of walled gardens.

There are issues if they get placed too close to the amenities in busy lots. People will block them while not charging.

But you are right that it has sometimes swung too far the other way. I've seen struggling food courts like that where just being a little closer would be vastly better for everyone.

Beyond "is it on by default" (due to data privacy concerns) whether something belongs in a "core" editor or in a plugin is a whole separate can of worms - moreso if the core editor starts shipping plugins. There is someone who reads that agreeing it means the editor should be just a plugin store and if you want font hinting, syntax coloring, tabs, terminals, smooth scrolling, and so on then download them yourself. At the same time there is someone who reads that agreeing it means the editor should have anything possible related to working with text but if you want to play a video while you code the plugin system should allow you to do that in a pane. Neither are really right or wrong about what should be a plugin, it's really a matter of what the tool wants to optimize for out of the box.
As much as I hate to admit it, their pushback on account sharing finally stopped me from leeching on my relatives account.

Because if you can do that you can spend a few million dollars to hack millions of Teslas causing hundreds of thousands of deaths.

You are literally comparing a few bombs to Hiroshima. Except nuclear weapons cost billions to develop, billions to produce and deploy, are complex and difficult to successfully use against targets, and are almost impossible to use stealthily.

Turns out handing out nuclear weapons for less than the cost of a tank, or you know starting a new McDonald’s franchise, is a serious cause for concern.

"but this sounds like a muddling of what is required for arrest and what is the evidentiary standard for resolving a civil case in the US."

I remember seeing that the standard for what was reasonable search and seizure in my state was set at preponderance of the evidence. It seems to be in line with other states/fed where you need evidence supporting that the crime has been committed or the object exists in a specific place. This can be, and often is, just an affidavit from the officer(s). Being a one sided process, being more likely than not is satisfied if there isnt an issue with the affidavit like missing element of the crime or unrealiable testimony. The problem comes up when the judges aren't viewing these with an open mind or to the standarss that states set (often these are handled by magistrates that do not hold a law degree nor have passed the bar). Often times the elements of the crimes defined in statue haven't even been claimed to have been met in the affidavit.

As an example, there might be someone operating a still at their residence. Just the sight of a still does not provide probable cause (only reasonable suspicion, and even that could be arguable). For probable cause to be met, you would have to prove that it was used for alcohol and that the person didn't have a fuel distillation permit or was selling it, etc (and probably one or two other small things in the statute). This is specific to my state. Other states may have more stringent rules about even owning a still.

"I think realistically the trigger for a search or an arrest is going to be much less than what is necessary to successfully convict in a criminal case or to prevail in a civil case."

It is less than the standard for conviction. All it needs is to show the elements of the crime have been claimed to have been met in the affidavit. Although they aren't even meeting this standard in every case. Or in some cases the officers have lied or made mistakes.

It's not exactly the same as a civil case since the warrant process is ex parte and does not need to consider defenses to the charge. It's just the same level of proof but applied to one-sided testimony. For example, you might have shot someone in self defense and the witnesses all agree it was self defense. They can still charge you (in most states) and make you prove that defense in court. You could get into some malicious prosecution stuff here, but according to probable cause you have satisfied all the elements of the crime and can be charged. Proving your defense then happens at the trial.

IANAL either, but have some criminal justice background. These are just what I have seen as it applies in my state.
I guess I don’t really disagree. I happen to think Tesla will be the first company to offer autonomous ride share profitably.

There's a subtle circularity problem with your proposal in that "professional reputations" are largely based on those same scientific metrics, which we know are gamed. The ability of even other scientists outside a field to properly evaluate those within a field is very, very low. And then when you get to the general public, it's just going to be a popularity contest fueled by implicit biases.
It's not as bad as last year, but if you look at the layoff.fyi graph that goes back further (https://layoffs.fyi/#tabs_desc_471_2 ), I remember feeling that around September of last year that the huge amount of layoffs from late 22/early 23 had stabilized: a lot of my dev colleagues on LinkedIn that were previously laid off had found new jobs (but non-IC-eng roles definitely didn't fare as well), and there were even reports of companies that had had big layoffs rehiring.

So I'd say I was surprised by the big layoff numbers from the likes of big names like Google, Discord, Twitch, Instagram, etc. this January. To me it had seemed like we had already hit bottom WRT layoffs but apparently not.
To me, any adult that was that friendly towards kids probably had a panel van. It definitely comes across with that vibe to me. It's a very fine line, and better safe than sorry. I can get the ick vibe and make decisions on that without making any possibly incorrect disparaging remarks about someone. It's just the internal alarms do go off when grown men are attracted to children that are not their own. Yes, I'm painting with a very broad brush, but again safe than sorry.

Yeah, I saw a video recently where an EVGo stall was down because someone had reported a cracked connector. They are pretty quick to just disable things until they can have it inspected, and this can be the case even when the other cable might be fine.

It isn't an easy business right now.
