BYD is nominally a private company. What you're really getting at is that governments can subsidize industries to give their domestic companies an unfair advantage, and China does that aggressively.

Other countries could do the same thing or punish China for it via tariffs etc., but doing nothing seems like a bad idea.
The more general point is people are asymptomatic growth and assume a never ending exponential, when in reality it’s probably something with a carrying capacity

So you support eugenics?

> From a libertarian perspective, while arguments exist that the mother has consented to this responsibility for some cases, in other cases she has not (eg rape).

Abortion, if the fetus is human, violates the non-aggression principle. From a humanist perspective, it wasn't the kid's fault.
>for ubereats , you have a chance to tip upfront which is basically a bribery since the company in California can't give their drivers a liveable wage.

From wikipedia: "Bribery is the offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of any item of value to influence the actions of an official, or other person, in charge of a public or legal duty"

How is tipping upfront any way related to the above definition? Or are you just using "bribery" to mean "exchange of money I don't like"?
No it won't. It won't even catch trivial errors like `import os; os.sdfsdfsdf()`.

Perhaps you haven't used static typing so aren't familiar with the kinds of bugs it can prevent?
> You also have no more information on the actions or intent of the youtuber than anyone, but you're defending him as the victim here

We know he's the victim because his passport got posted by the airline employee. That's inexcusable even if he was extorting them or whatever - he may not be innocent, but the airline is certainly guilty. (Unless you're suggesting he's faked the whole thing and, IDK, bribed someone to post his passport picture?)

I love this viewpoint. If a country takes a similar approach against the US, same people will go berserk about equality and cry foul. However, when they feel threatened, they can call for the very thing they are against.

Last updated in 1998. It's great of Indiana to preserve this.

One contemporary starting place seems to be this, with a mix of current and sometimes outdated info: https://www.scheme.org/

Or you start hanging out with one of the implementation/dialect communities: Racket, Guile, Gambit, Chicken, or one of the many of others.

Keep in mind that there are a ton of Scheme implementations (since, besides being a great research platform, some CS classes will involve writing your own Scheme implementation). So, if you see one that looks interesting (e.g., global super-optimizer and compiles down to browser CSS), before you gamble your startup atop it, see who else is actively using it, and whether it's solid and/or being updated (vs. left in a proof-of-concept state after someone's thesis defense).
The issue was getting all of the different banking systems into synchronization and forcing the banks to get there.

SEPA effectively got everyone to the level of some of the smaller EU countries that implemented similar systems by early 1990s. It wasn't easy, because some of those countries had population that still thought cheques are a good idea.

I've always found it fascinating how the Polynesians kept records of their families' history. Each family has a song, taught from one generation to the next. Each generation gets to add their exploits as a verse to the song, which can grow very long yet must still be memorized, recited, and taught to one's children.

One should be able to post a negative review of any corporation’s product or service.

I think it is important to recognize that's a predominantly Western take, and that free speech with consequences for reactions like this isn't close to a universal right today in the world.

In a lot of places, posting criticism and negative takes of things can have pretty serious ramifications, ranging from being doxxed (in this case) by a business, to at the very extreme end, your critical speech can lead to a trial, conviction, a penal colony and your death (Navalny in Russia).

What I meant with "Fsck around; find out" is the threshold for that absolutely varies by the geography. In the US (to pick an example country), as you say, this would be outrageous behavior by the airline with potentially serious consequences in either a civil or even criminal liability sense. Overseas? Potentially not so much, and I think your risk calculus as an influencer on these things (i.e. thinking about flying a small/local airline like this) needs to factor in the local atmosphere?

The US also heavily subsidizes its industries. It is just not done in a smart way. US money goes mainly into increasing profits of already rich companies, so they have less incentive to innovate and create new products. China spreads its money across the whole industry, so new companies will benefit and create a complete supply chain.
> And the motivation were things like not being able to get the temperature above 55ºF in the winter with the furnace running constantly.

Well, that was the impetus, but the motivation was definitely to make an ecological point - which, to be clear, I’m for, but there’s no part of this that pencils out for $300k solely on the money. Taking a work of art like that house and making it net-zero energy while preserving what makes it so special would have been a hell of a feat.

The printing machinery is quite unfortunate. Beyond being large, dynamic dispatch makes any attempt at stack size analysis much harder.

I’ve used Rust for some embedded side projects and I really wish there was a way to just get some unique identifier that I could translate (using debug symbols) to a filename and line number for a crash. This would sort of be possible if you could get the compiler to put the filenames in a different binary section, as you could then just save the address of the string and strip out the actual strings - but today that’s not possible.

Pretty high. What are the odds that 8 devs that bought new MacBook Pros all choose 32GB RAM and 1TB SSD? Both specs are above the baseline config, but they are in stock for same day delivery and worth the extra cost. Upgrading further forces you to either upgrade the CPU too or wait a few more days
The argument applies. I wouldn't use a computer with an app store though; I understand computers a lot better than phones.
If embryos are people, then there is a social duty to allow all of them to exist to the best of our ability.

Taken to the extreme, this would involve conscription of those to provide the physical birth.

That would be a horrific path for us to follow as a culture for a collection of cells that have no nervous tissue, and no capability of sentience.

There is a large number of people who believe that life begins at conception. Requiring those people to host discarded embryos would likely change their beliefs with remarkable speed.

I replied to a post asking „And if PWA were such a threat to Apple's business then why are they allowed in US.“

Whether Web Bluetooth, Web HID etc should be implemented in a browser engine is really irrelevant in this context - but the thing is they CAN be implemented in a browser engine. So can pretty much any native functionality currently guarded by the App Store.

There's no such tradeoff between food safety and flavor in general.

There are some dishes people may prefer less cooked (steaks, eggs) or uncooked (steak tartare), but airlines don't generally serve those in the first place. But even with those, there isn't any kind of tradeoff between safety and flavor. Steak tartare doesn't get tastier the longer you leave the steak lying around. Nor does sushi get tastier if the fish is starting to turn. It's quite the opposite.

There are some fermented and similar foods that can get tastier with age (cheese), but again there's generally no tradeoff with safety. As cheese ages, it may grow stronger in flavor, but it's not generally getting less safe. Conversely, when it goes bad after it's cut open and left on a warm counter, it wasn't developing flavor beforehand while sitting there.

(There might be some rare exceptions, but they're just that -- exceptions.)
At least in the US, Auto demand has slipped a little bit with the changes to financing, some manufacturers are still being hesitant to offer incentives, and some dealers seem insistent on acting like we are still in full-on covid whiplash shortage mode with slimy upcharges.

It's just as easy to take the mirror argument, though - crypto has been used to transfer money to terrorist groups, and that money has ultimately been used to kill innocent people. If they had been forced to send money through the traditional financial system, whether electronic or cash, it would have been more costly to them either through some loss of money to government seizure or simply the increases costs of evasion and transfer.

> Crypto is simply providing an alternative for people that have been unjustly stopped from processing payments.

It's also a useful tool for terrorists. This is a point of fact.

To be clear, I'm not saying we should get rid of it, just that this is the overly simplistic argument for doing so without considering the positive. Crypto isn't some outright evil, and neither is KYC. Both are parts of complex solutions to complex problems.
Emacs is not known for being particularly fast.
> Huh? China has something like $4 trillion in reserves plug ongoing taxation, it can and has subsidised EVs and other industries more than that.

That is not the thing I was giving a counterpoint to though. That was "EU trade is funding aggression against Taiwan" (with the implication that importing cheap EVs would increase the net inflow of capital).

> The point is that we've made a mistake and we're in a pickle. We're dependent on our adversary and we should be looking to get out of that situation in a way that doesn't disadvantage ourselves further.

> Are you just saying there's nothing that can be done? Just looking to change direction is a useful step.

But at least here, we aren't in a pickle. China has little leverage here, and they can't easily increase that leverage either.

Let me simplify my point: if China wants to massively subsidize the electrification of the EU's car population, why not let them? They won't reach global market dominance, and it both speeds up our electrification and saves our citizens' money. The only one's getting pinched are the shareholders of EU car companies.

I feel similarly about solar panels, even though China has achieved market dominance there. They cannot leverage their position there, because solar panels are not a prohibitively difficult product to set up a supply chain for, and the demand for them is somewhat elastic. It would slow down the closure of fossil power plants and maybe force a few old one's to reopen, but that's it. With EVs, buyers would just switch over to other brands and part of the global supply would get redirected as EU prices go up.

I worry much more about China's grip on rare metal processing and mid tier chip production. The rare metals go into "everything" hot right now, and everyone is so focused on high-end chip production that they're forgetting how many everyday products run on "low" density chips.
Not to mention, malware like Pegasus has proven that you can use Apple's default software as a malware delivery mechanism. Anyone that configures iMessage to working condition was vulnerable to their attack, not just sideloaders or browser modders.

I’m not one to be bullish on Tesla under Elon Musk but I don’t see how the Cybertruck was a waste considering that it’s squarely placed in the most popular and profitable segment of the automobile market in North America.

It’s almost dimensionally identical to the F-150 and the masculine “look at me” cyberpunk appearance is 100% in line with basically everything about the big three automakers’ trucks’ demographics.

The only thing BYD can do differently is eat up unprofitable markets like the $20,000 econobox EV.
I suppose it depends on how the ownership stake is defined for it to be “getting screwed” or not? The equity I’ve had has always been X shares, Y price, equating to A% of the current issued shares. In both companies this has been over 10%. It’s then always been explained that to maintain my %, shares would need to be issued to me as part of the follow on rounds, but even if they weren’t the value of my stake (which is all that matters in my opinion) still goes up (assuming not a down round).

I’ve never really understood the focus on percentages, they aren’t the value.
This is what I still can't comprehend about Amtrak. I priced out a bus trip to a few states away and it was <$40. Amtrak cost more than a plane ticket. Is it astonishingly overpriced because nobody uses it and then nobody uses it because it's astonishingly overpriced?
None of that has anything to do with reducing travel times to Mars unless your entire payload is on the order of a couple of pounds.

That's like replying to someone saying it takes too long to drive from New York to Seattle, by saying that we could build an efficient 1000 mile per gallon car, that travels at .01 miles per hour. How efficient the vehicle is isn't the slightest bit useful to solve their complaint.

A high thrust to weight ratio when the weight is a couple of pounds isn't useful. What's useful is having a huge amount of thrust that's large enough to shove multiple tons of mass at high accelerations.
To continue, if a fetus Auto aborts after the woman has eaten some ice cream and got infected with listeria can she be arrested for involuntary manslaughter?

Consider also the degree of investment this requires from society as a whole. To learn to recite large works from memory like that pretty much requires a person who dedicates their life entirely to the craft (excluding other productive work), not just learning the techniques and the stories themselves, but also eventually teaching others to carry on. These are all extra mouths to feed by the rest, and yet some form of it was historically extremely widespread in pre-literate societies. It just goes to show how important stories and generational memory are to us as species.
