Interesting, does Oslo have a lot of chargers? For my area, this is an option only for those who have the ability to charge at home to pre-heat the car / battery pack. I live in a dense city and street parking is the norm, so for us this is not an option.

When I'm driving on my own with my wife's car, I turn heating or AC off, and it makes a little difference, but not all that much.

I mean, it is also far more affordable that a lot of the alternatives. I find that range is only useful up to a point. If you have enough range to meet your requirements, why spend so much more money just to get a bigger number?

I've long thought this saying was very dubious at best. In my experience, doing what you love in order to make a living tends to turn "what you love" into work.
"undelimited" is not a double negative. "Delimited" means "limited by an explicit boundary."

Also, one other comment that hasn't been mentioned.

Having one kid is actually pretty easy. There are two of you, one of them. One of you is always resting at any given time.

When you have two kids it's a big change. If you're sharing responsibilities equally, now you're putting one of them to bed every night. And you're with at least one of them all the time, and if you're not, the other is handling both (harder on them).

And with two kids you're starting to see inter-child conflict, so it's not just managing two separate kids, but also their interactions.

In the long run having two kids can be beneficial because eventually they start entertaining each other. Currently, my boys are around 2 and 4, and things are starting to settle / they play with each other. If you just have the one, one of you is always going to need to be with them.

If you have three kids it's pretty intense. If you have four.. don't have four unless you fully understand what you're getting into.

Standard "insurance" generally includes copayments for services, sometimes even percentage based. Insurance companies would obviously adapt to such a reform, and my entire point is to align the incentives better. Over the long term, "insurance" companies operating on a cost-plus basis don't even really want to keep costs down, rather denials stem from needing to make sure any payouts are bureaucratically justifiable.
I think there's a certain cultural movement that has been propagated violently across the world that rewards and requires such behavior. there are many enduring cultural traditions that teach patience and long term planning. "human nature" is complex, we naturally can do both honestly.
I didn't say I like what Steyn and co said or that they should be allowed to say it, but the process matters.

In the US we're supposed to have a very high threshold for what kinds of speech can be punished. For defamation, it is required that the plaintiff be able to show that there were damages.

The jury's awarding of $1 shows that they were not persuaded that there was any financial damage done to Mann by this think tank's actions. Their subsequent award of $1m in punitive damages shows that they were persuaded that Steyn's speech deserved to be punished.

That second part is what I'm not comfortable with. If they awarded him $1m in compensatory damages that would be one thing, but choosing the absolute minimum and then levying a huge punitive fine is a scary result for anyone who values the speech protections we have in the US.

My point is, if you wanna play with China, you better be ready to play.

We got a heat pump put in about a year and a half ago. We kept the oil as backup for the days its too cold (which if I remember right it switches over to oil somewhere around 40 F.

Our situation is the opposite. The house feels more comfortable overall. Its still a little warmer upstairs where the home office and bedrooms are but generally around the house it feels a little more consistent.

You can definitely tell when the oil furnace kicks in as the air is noticably hotter. But when that happens the house gets warmer faster and gets a little too hot before it turns off again. And stays a little too hot for too long.

We went with a midrange system. In hindsight I do kind of wish we went with a different installer who was pushing a more "cadillac" type system where the fan (according to him) would always be (or just about) on but be variable in speed basically keeping the house at the right temp more often and slightly more savings.

Your compiler doesn't need to emit byte or machine code to be real or useful. High level to high level compilers can be incredibly useful and relatively easy to write. For optimal runtime performance, you can target c or some other low level language and let it deal with register allocation, instruction selection and shared lib/executable generation.

That's not quite right. If the study is underpowered at n = 50 --- which is extremely likely --- statistically significant estimates are likely to be inflated. And as power declines, they also become more likely to have the wrong sign (e.g., the study will yield a positive estimate even though the true effect is negative).

Ask HN: Best practice for posting links to large Mastodon threads?
Postmortem on what happened here: https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=39305884

The v1 API of Mastodon limits the size of the tree that it will expand for users who are not logged into the server: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/blob/main/app/controllers/api/v1/statuses_controller.rb . I am guessing that this or some similar limit applies to threads being returned to unauthenticated users of the web UI. It just arbitrarily stops expanding the replies at some point, including the main thread from the OP.

If a thread is truncated, users expect it to expand automatically and autoscroll when you hit the bottom. In my desktop browser, that does not occur, and there is no indication that there is more to see. This is the situation of the web interface as of Mastodon version 4.2.5.

The issue is very sensitive to observer conditions. If you are logged into the server, the behavior is different. If you use a Mastodon app instead of the web, the behavior might be different. As the tree expands, the cutoffs become different. If you look at the thread on a different Mastodon server, the tree is different because every server has its own view of the Fediverse.

HN needs a best practice for linking to Mastodon threads in a way that provides a consistent experience to HN readers. The average Mastodon server would be crushed by hundreds of HN readers grabbing the entirety of a huge thread all at once, so this might involve some thread-unroll-and-cache service. I tried https://mastoreader.io/ but it did not solve the problem.

Alternately, we push changes into the Mastodon web UI to warn users when they need to click to see more and assume that people will get used to the navigation.

Suggestions?

So, I think you are correct. The jury messed up, wasn't explained to properly, etc. There are thresholds on how much punitive damages can be awarded and they are some multiple of the other damages...this one is more than that.

The reasons were...."....after finding that the pair made their statements with “maliciousness, spite, ill will, vengeance or deliberate intent to harm.”

So, the jury found that they made statements that were willfully intended to harm someone - they were deliberate to inflict harm. They found that the actual harm wasn't much in monetary terms but decided to levy a large punitive award to signal to others not to do this and punish the two that did.

That makes sense. You have to prove actual damages, either the plaintff didn't try to or were unsuccessful...so $1 and then a larger amount to punish the behavior and deter others from doing it.
A bit on a tangent, I have been always curious as to how much of the modern theoretical physics is just math. That is, how little print space the standard treatment of physical theory could be compressed into if all the purely mathematical stuff is assumed known (or delegated to a separate text).

>levy an enormous punitive fine for... reasons.

Do you not know what the word punitive means? Punitive damages are meant to be a punishment as well as to deter others from similar behavior. They are totally normal and not meant to make the plaintiff whole.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punitive_damages

> Punitive damages, or exemplary damages, are damages assessed in order to punish the defendant for outrageous conduct and/or to reform or deter the defendant and others from engaging in conduct similar to that which formed the basis of the lawsuit.[1] Although the purpose of punitive damages is not to compensate the plaintiff, the plaintiff will receive all or some of the punitive damages in award

I tried getting to Fedora but the package manager was slower even to deb, the hardware video acceleration in browsers required me to juggle drivers from fusion due to licensing problems, and I use AMD which I would expect to not have issues.
Ugh, the Sway/Kinoite Atomic spin is so tempting for me as a regular Fedora user. Two weeks ago, a kernel update borked my laptop, and for some reason it deleted the older versions, so I was forced to live boot, chroot, and install a beta kernel. A few days ago, my desktop stopped booting - something to do with Nvidia drivers, and older kernels don't help. I don't have the time to try and fix it any time soon.

But, there was definitely pains with this kind of desktop when I tried it last time. Regular old software I want to install via dnf is painful to install - you have to layer it on top of the base image, and then that makes it "nonstandard" basically from then on. I know they push you toward flatpaks, but the vast majority of apps I use don't have it (or I don't prefer using the Flatpak version).

Can anyone give a more recent perspective? It's been about two years - I probably used Fedora Atomic 35/36.
It's gross not net. The way they minimize is that they use basalt waste (so they don't dig for it, it's been dug for) and they deliver as local as they can so there's hopefully low transport costs. I don't know if moving basalt waste is something mines already do and if they specifically count that.

I suppose one could argue that by reducing the cost of getting that waste away, they're effectively incentivizing mining. You'd need a more sophisticated model to see if this will work.
Honestly if I got a resume featuring this I would immediately call them in for an interview it counts for massive bonus points.
I'm a classic Liberal, but I've never been convinced by the man-made climate change argument. I've always been much, much more concerned about pollution and chemicals in our environment, but that seems to never be addressed. I believe so strongly in protecting the environment that if I had the power, I would invoke anti-constitutional laws that would force chemical company CEOs to live within 1 mile of their worst factories such that those chemicals would be cleaned up immediately.

However, I have many questions about the climate change theory but every time I ask climate change enthusiasts, I get branded as a climate-change-denier or anti-environmental which makes me even more convinced that this is more of a religious debate than a scientific debate.

1) We know that the Earth was much warmer during the Great Warming Period. We also know that the Earth was much colder during the Ice Age. How do we know that right now it's because of CO2 and not because of some process by the planet?

2) As far as I can tell, the theory now is that the changing climate is evidence that the climate-change-via-CO2 theory is correct. I've heard people say that both warmer weather and colder weather are both evidence that the climate-change theory is right. It appears to me that ANY change is evidence that their theory is correct. But they can't have it both ways. In the scientific method, you make a prediction based on your theory and if your prediction doesn't come true then it means your theory is wrong. It appears that ANY CHANGE will validate their thesis, which is absurd, because the only outcome that will invalidate their thesis is NOTHING changes, which we already know is impossible. The Earth is not static and neither is its climate.

3) California had a 10 year drought (that was mostly exacerbated by pumping groundwater for farms but that's another issue entirely). Everyone was calling it "the new normal" but all it took was one good winter and all the reservoirs were filled again to above average levels. Droughts have happened before in California, but people were pointing to it as evidence that human-caused-climate-change was real. No one is talking about how it wasn't evidence at all.

I didn't say they didn't provide reasoning, I said that their reasoning feels icky to me. Essentially, the jury's decision says that no harm was done but that Steyn's motives for speech were reason enough for him to be punished regardless of the actual outcome of that speech.

To me that's a very scary result.

> I'm very curious how people manage to carve out this time?

I've never really had a problem finding the time. Like everything else, it's a matter of what tradeoffs you want to make. For instance, I also don't watch TV/Netflix/etc. -- I work on my hobby projects instead. A couple of hours working on something every day yields results far more quickly that you'd think.

But I'll admit, I apply time management lessons I learned from being a single parent. Doing that taught me how much stuff you can really cram into a day.
