The popularity of SUVs is driven by a whole variety of factors. Eventually some of those factors will start to weaken. One of the factors is that many of the costs of SUVs are externalised.
The old adage "follow the money" still holds, you'll be forever monitored until it shows up. It's even easier in the digital world where they don't need to park a pizza van outside your house.
> the turnout (5.6%) is even lower than when it was decided to ban electric scooters public sharing (7.4%).

These things should really have a quorum requirement.
I'd hardly call a 2 tonnes EV a tiny car, which is the limit in the proposal.

The Tesla model 3 is right on that limit with 1.980 Kg, whereas the model Y weighs 2.4 tonnes.

In Denmark the model Y is by far the most sold car in 2023, with 1 out of every 10 cars being a model Y.

So I think it will be an uphill battle to enact the same law in Denmark.
ATC is notoriously white. Balancing it out isn't racism or inequitable. Same can be said for higher education.
> And they are cheaters, but it is like saying thieves can make money.

Absolutely not. Using your brains to keep track of cards is not cheating in any way, shape or form. They are simply using all the available information and some pretty basic math to them to gain an advantage.

Calling card counters cheaters is like calling chess players with better knowledge of patterns than their opponents cheaters. They are not cheaters.
That’s because it makes more sense financially for car makers to make larger cars [1]

Show them voice transfer with the boss's voice, that should convince them.
Regulation that came to be because of the aggressive lobbying.
It's really not. Have you spent so much as 5 minute of reading to educate yourself on the topic?
The EU is merely enforcing rules that the majority of citizens appear to agree upon. And if you care enough, you can always buy in another country and import those products yourself. Except, of course, if the manufacturer tries the monopolistic playbook and locks you out, to prevent you from circumventing their price differentiation. But I'm optimistic that Apple would never so blatantly put profits over its users' wishes ;)
This article leaves a lot of details out. As a Parisian who's been following this with attention, here are a few details:

* first, the "SUV" part is the intent, but not the reality. It's actually by weight: over 1600kg for ICE and 2000kg for electric/hybrids. A lot of French SUVs fit under those restrictions (for example Peugeot 2008/3008). It's unclear to me if there is really something specific to target those SUVs as well (I have not read the full text)

* part of the issue is width rather than weight: cars become larger and no longer fit in the parking spots. Parking spots minimum width in Paris is 180cm. For example, a Porsche Cayenne (a typical SUV) is 198cm without mirrors, 219cm with mirrors deployed. Being at least 20cm outside of the parking spot is an issue, roads are narrow.

* this is only for paid surface parking for non-residents. Residents price is not impacted (which is controversial). Underground parking is private and not affected. Free parking (outside of 8AM to 8PM Monday to Saturday) stays free for everyone.

* In general, underground parking is cheaper than surface parking even at the normal price. This will likely push those cars underground, which is IMO a good thing (especially because of the width issue).

* this vote is controversial in the first place (much like the rental scooters one was recently): the result was expected: it doesn't really affect negatively Parisians, only outsiders, and is strictly a QoL improvements for Parisians. I'm actually surprised it's not a landslide, but I guess the people who went to vote are generally more likely to have a car and vote against because of that.

* there were other questions asked for specific arrondissement. Those were important as well.

Edit: of those questions, only one arrondissement rejected its question (8th, which is also one of the least favorable over the poll). Those questions were mainly around reclaiming space from cars to allocate to pedestrians/cyclists/green spaces.
This is Paris we're talking about. The roads will remain the size that Hausmann built them. https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2016/mar/31/story-cities-...
OTOH the ways that you can improve upon node's shortcomings while staying compatible with it are limited. Bun is taking the pragmatic approach of providing fast drop-in replacements for node, npm and other standard tools, while Deno was the original creator of node going "if I started node today, what would I do differently?". So, different approaches...
I wonder how will Yandex Mail work after this (or maybe currently?) in regards to data protection. I know there exists mail.yandex.com and mail.yandex.ru... is the former, or will it be, based in the Netherlands, meaning that access from western countries with a court order would be granted?

They are able to. I've worked with AXA and Chubbs before in this space.

I don't think this was done because of cyber insurance

They most likely got bumped to make space for a better paying corporate conference.

Most vendors are now running a Cisco Live/AWS Re:invent type conference, and they've increasingly consolidated on Las Vegas because venue booking and block room booking is much easier there than in any other city in North America.

Also, DefCon has become massive, so the RoI has most likely shrunk due to staffing overhead.
It's quite tricky actually.

There's other negative externalities from car usage apart from the energy usage, like tire and brake dust, congestion, accidents, and road wear. And using up limited space in cities for parking. Etc. etc.

Even if you only wanted to tax energy usage, that clearly correlated with the amount of fuel or electricity used. Taxing liquid fuel is common and a sensible choice, however you can't slap on a big tax on electricity in general since if anything we want to encourage electricity use in favor of fossil fuels (e.g. heat pumps powered by zero-carbon electricity instead of gas heating, or indeed EV's instead of ICE vehicles). And arguably for electricity, it would be better by slapping a CO2 tax on the producers (or some roughly equivalent scheme like cap-and-trade) rather than taxing electricity generally.

And of course, if you want to tax by miles driven, that then gets into all kinds of problems how to track that in a way that doesn't enroach on people's privacy. Say, checking the odometer during yearly inspections?

So where does that leave taxing EV's? Maybe a flat yearly fee based on the weight isn't that terrible, and it's at least cheap to administer and doesn't leave much space for cheating. Although that is of course very unfair to those who live out in the boonies where parking space is not at a premium and drive very little.
The B-29 was the first bomber with a pressure cabin. This allowed it operate at a high altitude for a longer time than other bombers of the era, staying out of flak range, etc. I imagine that was part of the reason for the high development cost.

Prior to that bomber crews operated using electrically heated flight suites, gloves and used oxygen masks, when reaching those altitudes.

Yes, saying it's only axis loading is wrong

But the proportionality rule should be valid

Even if the actual power would be 2 instead of 4 it does make sense to limit axis load
Same here, my tmux bindings are hardwired in my brain at this point and switching over would incur a huge drop in productivity at first, not sure I have it in me to switch… floating pane does sound nice though

There will always be individual to individual interpersonal issues. Solving systematic issues are solvable.

I.e. It's one thing to have a lazy engineer, it's another to have Boeing safety culture.
I don’t see what benefit floating windows bring to Tmux workflows.

If I want to run something in background, I just Cmd+number to another window and run it there. Thanks to multiple panes & windows, I can have N things running “in background”, it takes a millisecond to switch to any of them, and I guess if I bother I could even have window tab title reflect the status of the process.

I’ve seen floating windows in Neovim, but I see only one use for them: expanded LSP error messages. Otherwise, I use floaters when they come plugin’s config, but they are more of a nuisance and are tricky to manage without resorting to pointer device.
The free market solutions are more of a thought experiment than a practical answer. They show how absurdly subsidized driving is. But if you actually implemented them they would make car usage not viable instantly which is too rapid of a change to go down smoothly.

The non market legislation solutions like the OP article are a much softer landing which guide people towards the end goal without immediately bankrupting people.

Family safari at Maasai Mara National Reserve

Family safari at Maasai Mara National Reserve. A Kenya safari tour with a family at Maasai Mara is an unparalleled experience that promises unforgettable memories for all. Nestled in the southwestern reaches of Kenya, Maasai Mara National Reserve beckons with its sprawling savannahs and diverse wildlife, offering a glimpse into the heart of Africa's wilderness.

Children of all ages will be enthralled by the chance to explore one of the continent's premier wildlife sanctuaries, where sightings of elephants, lions, leopards, cheetahs, giraffes, and vast herds of antelopes against the backdrop of the savanna create magical moments.

Maasai Mara National Reserve, spanning approximately 1,510 square kilometers, boasts stunning landscapes characterized by rolling hills and the meandering Mara River, forming part of the renowned Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.
Beyond its natural splendor, Maasai Mara is a testament to cultural heritage and conservation efforts, named after the indigenous Maasai people and the Mara River that winds through its lovely terrain.
Families find Maasai Mara an ideal destination for Kenya safari adventures, thanks to its abundant wildlife sightings and the exhilarating Great Migration spectacle. Moreover, family-friendly accommodations abound, offering a range of amenities and activities tailored to young adventurers, from nature walks to treasure hunts.
To enhance the experience, consider booking private game drive cars for flexible exploration and ensure safety by staying vigilant in unfenced areas.

For families with young children, fly-in safaris offer convenience and comfort, bypassing the lengthy road journey from Nairobi.

To enjoy your Kenya safari adventure with your family members, prioritize health precautions, including vaccinations and malaria prevention, and pack essentials such as lightweight clothing, sturdy footwear, insect repellent, and sunscreen.

Binoculars, cameras, and refillable water bottles are indispensable companions for capturing wildlife wonders and staying hydrated throughout the journey.
And now you also have to fight with the cinema/projector standard, where 4k is 4096x???.

Not to mention that 3840x2160 already has a (mostly) separate term : UHD-1.

There's also UHD-2 which is 4 times bigger, but I expect it to be renamed to something else soon enough.
In my state those factors are all used.
I think you're asking the wrong question, at least for me.

If "Yandex" is selling all Russia-based businesses/assets and is itself "Russian Google" - what's left then.

For me this means I now kinda have to dig deeper and grasp wtf is actually going on, because to me Yandex was exactly that, a Russian search engine and nothing more (although I saw some people hint at more in the past, never looked it up).
It’s also not meaningful if that career coerces you to give up your outside family life (by imposing a huge penalty for having kids) so you can keep working your desk job, report to a boss, and have your 3 weeks of vacation a year.
It's not bullshit. I am not talking about modern farm life, I am talking about the time before civilization rose (which is nearly all of human history before 10,000BC to around 400,000 years earlier when people would've been recognized as a modern human).

Do those families have access to modern conveniences at all? Like any goods shipped across the world by modern shipping, just as one of thousands of examples? They do, I am sure. Imagine you lived before that, where the only stuff you would have easy access to were goods produced within a few hundred Km (but mostly you needed to produce everything yourself within your "tribes").

Most of human history had no cities, very few roads, very little commerce outside local villages. I am sure they did have a lot of free time as others mentioned... but work was just not something you did for enjoyment and I think it never really is.
Stop being lazy.

Imagine if you could live in a parking spot. Or turn it into an AirBnB. Parking charges (and congestion charges) should equilibriate with rents for the same ground area.
Maybe you should have asked ChatGPT. It would have told you that due to regenerative breaking no break dust is produced.

The recuperation is pretty strong and there is absolutely no need to ever break inside a city, except in rare emergency situations.
The traveling and losing access to shows you were watching is annoying. But, to be fair, this is a rights holder issue and not a Netflix issue. I think all Netflix owned shows are available everywhere.

Your point still stands that it presents a service problem. Given the connectedness of the world now, regions should have been abolished a long time ago.
raises a hand

My terminal emulator (Konsole) has tabs. It also has tiling features I've never taken the habit to use. It has infinite history and allows me to easily select and copy paste many lines. It has a perfect scrolling behavior: it automatically scrolls, but stops auto scrolling if I scrolled a bit up. I'm used to its keyboard shortcuts to switch tabs. My window manager (KWin) also has tiling-like features when I need to see several terminal sessions at the same time.

I use screen when I need to be able to leave and rejoin later. I almost never need to restore several remote terminal sessions at once, and when I do, I'm happy to just ssh several times.

I feel like my use case is completely covered by the terminal emulator and the WM which are incredibly convenient and efficient. I would expect any layer between this efficient / optimized character display and the programs I run can only add latency. I also quickly feel overwhelmed by a screen full of characters. I think I would miss out on convenience by switching to tmux and it's unclear to me what I would gain.

Happy to be convinced otherwise, though :-)
Last time I tried it, it didn't add features I really felt would change my workflow, and the memory consumption was rather high.

In general I notice a lot more resources used for terminal multiplexing, starting with GPU-focused terminal emulators (or even ones using Electron).

Maybe I missed something, I probably could run screen + xterm and barely notice any difference. Almost getting a bit of FOMO here, but have yet to see e.g. a screencast that would make me envious.

Thank you for explaining! I guess that is plausible (and much less maddening than the matter-of-fact FAQ page).
OTOH Deno can produce self-contained binaries. For me this is a plus, it makes distribution so much easier. I don't care if it's 100MB, I just want to have one file which I can throw on my server,
I've been self-employed for the last ~18 months. In the past I started two VC-backed startups, then was a PM at some later-stage companies before returning to entrepreneurship.

This time around, I'm building a solo "digital product studio" [1] instead of a startup. So, I'm staying one person, haven't raised money, and have multiple revenue-generating products. Product revenue doesn't cover my costs yet, so I do occasional consulting to bridge the gap.

I like the flexibility of this lifestyle. I'm based in NYC, but writing this from Tokyo where I've been doing a creative residence for the past two weeks.

And, a fun technicality - I truly self-employed in the sense that I have a salary and a payroll system. This is because my company is registered as an S-Corp in the USA, which requires the owner to be on a salary.

i agree that the timaios is platon's most esoteric surviving work, and it's full of enormous amounts of nonsense, but i think it's still reasonably clearly written. sadly, it is a foundational text in not only western philosophy but eastern philosophy as well, and it took twenty centuries for most thinkers to reject most of its erroneous dogmas

Me! I started my solo, startup law practice almost by accident via a Hacker News comment years ago. It's now my primary source of income.

It's hard, but less hard than what startup founders do. It's nice having control of my schedule, but the flip side is that there's never a day off. Personally, I think being self-employed is great for people who naturally work really hard and want to capture the full output of their labor.

I don't think I could ever go back to full time employment for someone else. It's addicting having your own business that actually cash flows!

The definition of !Move was always the (rather baroque) "cannot be moved once its address has been taken;" this allowed you to construct them, allocate them, etc until you start manipulating them. Pin just took that contract and instead expressed it by having the value that is "the address of the !Move type" encode it.

The questions with adding Move were strictly around backward compatibility & useability, not with determining the semantics.

Would love to see the compile situation fixed - the generated executables are
~90MB+ at this stage and do now allow compression without erroring out. Deploying ala Golang is not feasible at that level but could well be down the line if this dev branch is picked up again!

The exe output grew from from ~50MB to plus ~90MB from 2021 to 2024: https://github.com/denoland/deno/discussions/9811 which mean Deno is worse than Node.js's pkg solution by a decent margin.

One potential scenario is bypassing rate limits, enabling abuse, scraping etc. because of the large IP blocks each customer is granted, and seemingly the lack of standardization there.

The assumption of there being a finite amount of IPs to cycle for an attack doesn’t entirely hold with IPv6, and seems like not all software is configured to take that into account.

Another factor is that car companies market SUVs heavily.
Companies/Vendors usually host corporate conferences around this time as well.

A large company has probably decided to move a conference to Caesar's during that period, and that got Defcon bumped. Especially because DefCon has become massive, so the RoI has shrunk due to staffing overhead.
