In the most recent quarter, Chargepoint had $367M in cash and cash equivalents. These large compensation packages suck a surprising amount of working capital out of businesses that already do not have huge runways. I'd expect better results if they focused on saving cash and building the business in a lower cost manner.

They are early stage businesses and losses are expected, but they need to focus on the long term and long term compensation plans.
Awesome had no idea this existed. Very useful, thanks!
Sorry, reading over my comment, I sounded more antagonistic than I meant to be. After all, we're here to enjoy discussion and not to battle against each other.

As an aside, on another post yesterday, I had a pleasant surprise about "templating" in life itself.

> The familiar distinction between software and hardware loses its meaning in living cells. We propose new ways to study the phylogeny of metabolisms, new astronomical ways to search for life on exoplanets, new experiments to seek the emergence of the most rudimentary life, and the hint of a coherent testable pathway to prokaryotes with template replication and coding.

Maybe DNA is the original templating language. (Hopefully with more sophistication than fancy string interpolation.)
Since we're on the topic, are there regulations about sewerage for longboaters? Are there "hookups" available at mooring spots or is it more of a "well it all gets diluted when we dump it in the river" kind of thing?
You can generally still use if the unit is otherwise undamaged. Plug it in, then lift/prise the remaining ‘thumb press’ part of the plug up.
Show HN: Yurt, a static blog generator that generates semantic hyperlinks
Yurt is a static site generator, built off the same principles as Nomad Hypertext (https://nomadhypertext.nicholaschen.io/).

At build time, it embeds all your posts into vectors and puts them into a vector database. Then, for each paragraph in a post, it queries the vector database for the 20 most similar paragraphs from all your notes. It stores these in a precomputed index. It then statically generates a blog for you (like Gatsby or any other static site generator), and uses this index so users can see related ideas when they click on a paragraph.

There are pros and cons to this approach. The biggest pro is that it generates a static blog. There's no backend to maintain, and it's quite lightweight and loads fast, while also providing the benefit of semantic hyperlinks. The con is that since the index is precomputed, you can't search for arbitrary things like you can in nomad hypertext.
You found Mr. Rogers creepy?

... I guess that proves you can't please everyone.

Mr. Rogers is literally seen as the incarnation of wholesomeness, part of the holy secular trinity of positive male role models with Levar Burton and Bob Ross.

You might consider not casting aspersions based on absolutely nothing. If there were any allegations of creepiness they'd have come out by now, so like... Keep his name out yo mouth.

adversary - one that contends with, opposes, or resists

It is a matter of trust of other humans with power. Government can do good but is made of flawed humans. Trusting the government to always be good and stay good is a recipe for disaster. For government to stay trustworthy it requires people to oppose oversteps. It is an adversarial relationship. That isn't a bad thing. It is necessary for everything to work and stay working.
I'm right there with you - my yet-unrealized dream is sublime's front-end with neovim powering it.
Hundreds of kilobytes is not a lot of information. Even guessing gigabytes would be going very controversially low. Just the delta versus some "average" human genome would easily be into the hundreds kilobytes. Even just modeling a human as the sum total of their sensory input, itself a simplification transparently obviously insufficient, hundreds of kilobytes covers just a few seconds of their existence, or with compression, minutes or maybe hours, tops.

Imagine trying to create a Marcus Aurelius that correctly output exactly the contents of his writing, while also being acceptably a human analog. If you think you can stick that into a few hundred kilobytes, there's a 500,000 Euro prize you should be starting forthwith as you're claiming many orders of magnitude improvement over the current best: http://prize.hutter1.net/

Eh, we'll figure out something that works. Change always has some bumps, no need to blow your top over it. It's a rougher transition than it needed to be because we wasted 50 years arguing with morons about whether water is wet (yes, idiots, climate change really is happening), so now we need to do it in a bit of a hurry. But, we'll get there.
I would expect "untrusted code" to mean "code in a sandbox" or "code I'm not gonna run at all anytime soon", so running code from thousands of dependencies in node is effectively trusting all of that code, unless it is your direct expectation that it is malicious (and even then, aren't you trusting it to be malicious ?).

The trust we give to random dependencies like that is quite arguably unwarranted to a large degree, but it doesn't mean the code isn't trusted.
Hard to say, the vast majority of people with 'Top Secret' clearances don't ever read a single actual regular 'Top Secret' document, even if they work at the same place for years.

So if it's declassified down it's unlikely more than maybe 50k people will ever know about it.

But then again it could be some super secret thing where previously only 500 people knew about it, or had the full picture, so that would represent a substantial loosening of restrictions.
Real time document editing and sync is actually a tall order. To make it editor/tool agnostic you'd need some kind of overlay fs + first/third party support in the various editors (as most editors don't hot reload file changes; they expect the files they have open not to be changing underfoot).
> Fanon's claims are consistent with this, he addresses it directly. Except he of course is talking about societies that use colonialist violence as a means to their ends, not those reaching for liberation through violence. Seems relevant here. If those who use violence for liberation are corrupted by it, what does it do to those of us who use it for no great purpose except our own benefit, as our societies certainly have?

Empirically, societies that employed violence for their own benefit (e.g. the British, the French, the Americans, the Israelis) seem to have suffered very few consequences, whereas the societies that have employed violence to remove them (e.g. the Chinese, the Haitians, the Iranians, the Palestinians) have done very poorly in the aftermath. While there are certainly some negative consequences for strong countries which violently impose themselves on the weak, (e.g. Americans pay for their Middle-East policy by having to take their shoes off at the airport), on the whole it seems like a successful invasion, however bloody it may be for the country invaded, tends to cause relatively few material problems for the invader. If there's any repayment for evil, it must happen in heaven and hell, because hardly anywhere is justice visible on Earth. Like Thucydides said, "The strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must."

While I do appreciate your deep insight, I am missing a bit of nuance in your response. Perhaps you can help me understand why Exxon reducing its supply of oil would not reduce its customer’s consumption of its oil.
Honestly... that's not a bad idea. There are all sorts of EVSE testing apparatus on the market, surely we can have W&M ensure that electricity dispensing equipment are providing properly metered power at precise prices.
Either “sandbox” was the funniest and most appropriate name ever chosen in tech, or the person who came up with it has never actually seen a sandbox.
The big difference is that most EV owners today are homeowners and they can and have installed home chargers that completely sidestep the question of public charging. Unlike gas cars that have to visit gas stations, EV owners charge at home. What's better than spending three minutes to fill up gasoline at a gas station is to just spend five seconds plugging in when you arrive at your garage and another five seconds unplugging. In other words EVs take advantage of a pre-existing energy distribution network that's basically already in every home.

How to Read an Article on the Internet
Aside from increasing contractor availability this has the bonus of increasing the access to these capabilities for actual operations (both ours and our allies'). If your magic satellite that can tell who in a crowd is running a fever is SAPed then you might not be able to use it to help your troops or your allies hunt down artillery launches (as an example). So then you need to either do some parallel construction to mask the actual source of the information or just sit by and not help at all.

So hopefully this means that we'll see some previously exotic space capabilities trickle down into more pedestrian use cases.
You get something in return for all the risks you listed.

This is why I said "If you are altruistic perhaps".

I'm not and I gain nothing by helping others after I'm dead.

Now if it was the case that in return for being an organ donor I get paid a good chunk of change or some other benefit then sure.

As things stand being an organ donor to me is similar to crossing roads while deliberately paying less attention.
When the government behaves as an adverse actor, they lose this trust.

Would you like datapoints about times the government lied and subverted communities?

Bc I have data points.

Many data points.

From many cultures that were illegally infringed upon hy the government.

Sometimes just taking a break, sitting and contemplating life over a shared meal is best.

Is this actually a “right”?

Genuinely don’t know, but do you have a right to fly a drone overhead and film “your property” and your neighbors backyard while they skinny-dip? Do you have the right to videotape your driveway… and the elementary school across the street?

I’m very suspicious that “if the video includes your property, you have the right to film it” - which is the implication here.

If the whole station was down I'd just go to the next one and wouldn't riot.

I'm a new EV adopter and so far my household gets by with the L1 home charger. We don't drive that far on a daily basis. Home charging is another disincentive to rioting. How much does home charging eat into demand for public chargers?
I understand that a lot of gas station revenue comes from selling stuff other than gas. I am somewhat surprised that gas stations didn't jump on EV chargers immediately, since charging takes a while and those customers might be more likely to make other purchases while waiting.
I have an overnight cron that flattens my duplicity backups from many incremental backups made over the course of one day to a single full backup file, that becomes the new backup. then subsequent backups over the course of the day do incremental on that file. So I always have full backups for each individual day with only a dozen or so incremental backups tacked onto it.

That's a core behavior of the LA Times. They have a guy dedicated to trashing EVs. They have a guy dedicated to trashing high-speed rail. They have a guy dedicated to writing FUD about solar, wind, and lithium batteries.

But anyway, it remains to be seen whether the perceived superiority of the supercharger network survives its initial contact with cars from makes other than Tesla.
Part of me loves this idea. I've had things fail, and would have been happy for warranty coverage. But:

* What about the market for truly inexpensive things? Do I get e.g. my plastic knife replaced every time it gets dull, for 20 years? Does a consumer still have the option to buy a truly inexpensive (and low quality) specialized tool, that they know(/expect) they'll only need once? (Or will they all be expensive, because it's now illegal to make something that won't last for 20 years?)
* How does this affect expensive things? What will a car cost, if I have to pay for all the possible issues that will come up with it over 20 years up front?
* How will this be enforced? Just form a corporation that "goes out of business" every year or two, and is magically replaced by another distinct corporate entity. Sure the warranty lasts 20 years but if the company servicing the warranty doesn't ... (The even more significant proliferation of e.g. HOOLEEZOO branded items?)

IMO they should never be used this way period, or at least not without also indicating the values with and without the change. You'll be accused of being dishonest if you use a number that is convenient to your argument (e.g. "buying this is good value!") but which a significant number of people will interpret incorrectly.
Your premise is flawed. The testers are the Nightly and Beta users, not the stable users.
Sure, but it also requires the decision makers to be rational.

I worked for a publisher that I had built a social platform for that encompassed a number of different things, but their main money maker was their classified ads system since they were in a state that allowed classified ads for gun sales (a big hunting and fishing site).

So this required a two tiered approach because we were not allowed to display third party network ads on pages that specifically featured firearm categories. Later, some bug got into the ear of the new company President about just converting everything over to a different platform and putting the classifieds system behind the same paywall they use for magazine subscriptions.

After telling her that we had already gone over the economics of the decision and why we stuck with what we had, she decided to switch over anyway. In her mind, it was unfathomable that people wouldn't pay her money to post ads on her site. Her husband went so far as to accuse me of not wanting to change because it would mean the elimination of my retainer.

So what used to be a section of the site that generated about $45K a month in ad revenue now receives about 80 classified ads per month, and a family that has spent a generation leeching off of the work of their parents is about to erase a legacy before the old man even dies.

Oops, looks like you're right. I mixed up "Linux x64 Shippable" with AArch64.
The whole argument here is that it isn’t just your property. Filming your property… and something/someone beyond is where the question lies. Generally people don’t have the expectation of privacy when in public (aka on the street) but I would think we conversely don’t expect “not private” to include “video of every time I’ve left my front door”.

Like, if you’re in a public park and someone takes a picture that includes you, generally we say that you consented by being in public. If someone takes a picture of you every morning as you jog by the park because they’re stalking you, we don’t extended “implied consent” to that. If you aim a camera at my house, does that count as implied consent, or is it closer to stalking?
For your first question about good devex, there are definitely some objective ways to measure it.

* The time it takes for completed code to be deployed to production
* count of manual interventions it takes to get the code deployed
* count of other people that have to get involved for a given deploy
* how long it takes a new employee to set up their dev environment, count of manual steps involved

Stuff like that
In Europe I've barely seen any broken chargers. Off course sometimes there is a charger out of service, or some random issue. Most of the time this is shown in an app/car navigation, so you don't even go there. But in general they do work as advertised.

But we also have a different connector (type 2/ccs instead of type 1/ccs), that seems to be less error prone. And for AC charging usually you need to bring your own cable (which gets locked by the car and the charger). Vandalism also doesn't seem to be such a big issue like in the US.
Do show us the statistics that demonstrate it
This is an understandable misconception but also one that medicine corrects for. Firstly, the team taking care of a patient never knows a patient's organ donor status. Only a few people have access to the status and they are called in to get the organs only after the care team has declared the patient dead. Even the numbers are usually in favor of the patient not being a donor given not many people register. So the most likely outcome of letting a patient die is just death not organ donation.

The team treating the patient is also made of human doctors and nurses who really don't like to kill people, their entire job is the opposite of that. Their drive to save the patient in front of them is higher than saving an abstract person somewhere else who may not even exist because organs last less than 24 hours outside of the body.

IMO if you're doing something that far into "don a rubber glove and root around inside somebody else's rectum" territory then the responsibility rests with the author of the crazy, not the authors of the program being fettled.

(and I'd note that I have written code that was very definitely in that territory, held myself to that standard, and having planned to do so from the start didn't find it overly onerous ... I do have a certain sympathy for people who didn't, though)

When it comes to core UX, the current-gen iPhones and iPads are less usable than Androids. For one thing, this whole idea of swiping from beyond the edge of the screen, in many places without even a visible indicator that it's an available gesture, to do the most basic stuff like opening Home, is a severe regression compared to simple buttons; and it's even worse because some of the swipe gestures do different things depending on how far you swipe. To be fair, Android also introduced this misfeature, but at least you get a checkbox to restore the old behavior.
But what if one is wrong about one's rights? A person mistakenly asserting themselves might have a car window smashed and spend a night in jail for obstruction. But a company mistakenly asserting rights can see equipment seized, fines, civil liabiliy, and possibly very negative regulator treatment. It is not unreasonable for a company to be very careful when saying no to US law enforcement. Cassually telling the cops to "stuff it" is a protest best left to individuals at the roadside.
