I'm having a hard time understanding why consumers went for SUVs in this interpretation. Did they just really want to pollute more? Do regular cars have too high a gas mileage for their liking? It certainly wasn't that the SUV was able to become the cheaper option!

Skirting emissions laws only works as a complete explanation if it can account for consumer behavior.

My sense from talking to people who own them is that they chose them because they could function as a truck or as a minivan depending on what they need to do at the time, without having to own both. That's a much less exciting explanation than yours, but it does account for both consumer behavior and manufacturer behavior. Emissions laws may very well have increased manufacturer margins on these vehicles, but they're filling a real need in people's lives.
> It absolutely does.

Absolutely, absolutely, it does not.

The USA law is saying US law applies to US persons wherever they may be in the world.

The EU law is saying EU laws applies to ANYONE in the world if an EU person interacts with them via the internet.

You realize those two things are not the same, right?
I got the $700 figuring by looking up the list price of one of the mini PC's mentioned in the article, which use an Intel i5-6500 or AMD Ryzen 3 PRO 2200GE CPU (which each have 4 cores @ 3.6Ghz), I think if they'd compared against a 2 core 2.8Ghz Celeron, it would have been more evenly matched. The Raspberry Pi 5 beats the 4020 in both single and multi-core performance in this benchmark:

Don't let the name "Wo-We" make you think this is something deemed to disappear in a few months; the name could certainly be thrown away but the product will most certainly reincarnate under another "brand".

Does that matter? If it dies in 2 months and I can't find the manufacturer because it's operating under a different name now, is that any different than if the manufacturer folded completely?
> 1016 cd ~; chattr -ia .ssh; lockr -ia .ssh

Does anyone know what the "lockr" command is? I can't find any references to it besides people saying they observed malware trying to run it, usually (as is the case here) right after a chattr command with the same arguments.
TIL: Spanish has a sort of written contractions. I speak conversational Spanish so I’ve heard people talk this way, like Puerto Rico or Dominican Republic speakers shortening things, just hadn’t seen it written before.
tó = todo
ná = nada

https://www.spanishdict.com/guide/shortening-of-words
> There are a few apocopes of very common words that are pronounced and written in informal Spanish as monosyllabic words. These popular apocopes include
na, pa, and to, that stand for nada (nothing),
para (for), and todo (all). You may find these words written with an apostrophe at the end, but spelling experts advise against it.
How do you know it will have the same state of mind? And how much does that cost.
Yocto works the same way whether it’s Pi or iMX, most of the learning curve has nothing to do with the SoC. So it’s really strange to hear that your Pi workflow is better than anything you’d get with another chip..
Employees definitely tolerate this. As said above, this already happens in industry, and also for many years Amazon used to cap salaries at some hilariously low number—I think like 180k. That may not seem low until you try to buy a house in the Bay Area and lenders laugh in your face.

People would either be part of a two-income household or wait for their stock to vest, but for many years they tolerated it fine.

Check out our curve fitting calculator. It runs entirely client side. Tries to fit your data to 74 of the most common equations. Sorts the results by how each did and then plots the winner. It comes pre-loaded with some demo data to try it out. Let us know what you think! Our biggest issue that we can see is user data entry is clunky, any thoughts on that is greatly appreciated.

Hey thanks for the response. I’m looking forward to picking up the book now. Silicon Second Nature left a big enough impression on me that I did a performance art piece inspired by it in undergrad (back when I thought I might be an artist, LOL)… unfortunately I don’t have access any longer to video documentation but there are some pics and description on my (currently offline) website:

There’s also a short 16mm experimental film I made around the same time:

Just sharing since it’s pretty rare for me to meet someone who might actually be interested in these, ha!
At that point why not use your own hosted open source model that is more reproducible for you?
Not really. I've been researching this extensively lately to try to add GPIO to my stack of Dell Wyse 3040s.

Options with mainline linux kernel drivers:

- MCP2221A (i2c + 4x GPIO)

- CP2112 (i2c + GPIO)

Options without kernel support:

- FT232H

- Arduino nano and clones

- Raspberry Pi Pico running some interesting firmware

- ESP32 running something like ESPHome (completely separate from host)

I've chosen the Pico for now and forked the u2if project for firmware and host support[1]. I also put together a generic ESPHome-compatible protocol server in python to tie my widgets to Home Assistant[2].

Not sure if this is what OP's talking about, but heat pumps are several times more efficient than traditional heating.
This book is on my reading list! Guess it's worth mentioning I am working on a game to rival SimCity (and Cities Skylines), though aesthetically it looks like a game straight out of the 90s.

If Chris Sawyer made a city builder that dived deep into simulation.. that's what I'm aiming for.

Still in early development: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2287430/Metropolis_1998/
Shipments can be sent with freight paid by the sender or to be paid by the recipient.

Railroads, pre-computer, had tough operational accounting problems. Even with telegraphs, they didn't have enough bandwidth in 1906 to transmit all the paperwork ahead of the shipment. Some of the paperwork was actually nailed to the side of freight cars, like a mailing label.

Each car had a waybill. Each train had a manifest of which car contained what and where it was going. At each switch yard, cars were re-sorted by destination and attached to a train going in the appropriate direction, and that process was guided by the manifest of the incoming train.
Cabooses and freight conductors were where the paperwork was managed. That's what cabooses were for - the paperwork traveled with the train, and the freight conductor was responsible for it.

Copies of the manifests went to accounting offices where interline settlements were computed.
That's where the Chicago & Northwestern was credited with one-third of the total rate.
Interline shipments were complicated.
Every month or so, railroads would settle with their connecting roads over who owed who how much.
Probably with arguments between the various lines.

There was a lot of interline settling. If a railroad car is on another railroad's tracks, there's a rental charge. If a railroad car needs repair when away from its home road, it gets repaired by the railroad it's on, and the owning road is billed at a standard flat rate. All this still happens today. Here are the modern rules.[1]

That's part of what a Harvard economics student had to understand for Railroad Practice. The money followed the trains around, much later. Somebody had to make sure that the money didn't get lost.

Today, US inter-line settlements are handled by Railinc, which is a unit of the Association of American Railroads. Waybills travel around as JSON and there are APIs for submitting and retrieving them.
Waybills still do pretty much what they did in 1906. There are still dispute resolution procedures for when the records of connecting lines don't match. Settlement is still monthly. And the time limits for resolving errors are still measured in months.

No snark was present :)
Buyer beware - Dell mini PCs also have this problem, they run constantly and are clearly audible in a quiet room. The BIOS doesn't have any options to disable or reduce the RPM, software sensors don't see the fan and if you unplug it or try to undervolt it the motherboard panics and doesn't boot anymore. Had to sell mine away.

Otherwise they're a nice piece of kit. Perhaps someone can hack the BIOS to remove the fan protections.
It is part of USB-PD though, it is just a recent addition (PPS) that isn't that common yet.

I agree it isn't ideal, but you shouldn't blindly buy a PSU to any computer. Extra easy mistake to make when it is USB-C though.
Ah, yes, the remaining English speakers in Russia will overthrow the literal millions of the silovik class whose entire job is to repress (with violence) any independent political activity. There is no "lobbying" in Russia, if you didn't know.

If you hate all Russians just say you hate all Russians. No need for this "lobby your government" euphemistic BS.
Isn't that the whole point? SimCity and all its sequels and imitators present a very simplified set of tools and mechanics. Those tools and mechanics are more than the sum of their parts: They entertain, they teach, they advance a political opinion (Jeff Braun has been explicit about this[0]) and yes, they simulate, albeit very simplistically. The intersection of those things and the tradeoffs that are required in all simulations (which all reside on a spectrum of toy to faithful representation) are interesting. IMO it's (ironically) too simplistic to say that SimCity is a mere game and thus unworthy of thinking more deeply about, and I suggest that you're taking that "world in a machine" marketing phrase a bit too literally.

I don't trust Ali express for anything serious. Cheap and Chinese doesn't have the appeal it used to.

I'm willing to pay a little more for a respected brand with a little more QA involved (and less hassle to me as a developer).
Cost of maintaining architecture, cost of complexity of internal infrastructure, knowledge level required for self-hosting, complexity of local one-boxing, and a slew of other reasons.
I don’t see how using a go binary vs dockerized microservices is related to database concerns? You need a database either way, and this problem you describe doesn’t seem related to the application level

> Our company is often asked at expos if we supply 2 wire ethernet switches (e.g. Single Pair Ethernet SPE[1]) but the reality is there's little demand

This reminds me of a funny conversation I had in a small town stationers when looking for an item.

‘No, we don’t stock it. People keep asking, and I keep having to explain that there is no demand.’

Though this wasn’t for an obscure Ethernet variant.

You don’t need to pay that much. For example, Minisforum is selling a barebones MS-01 for $399 new

That doesn't really change my point that they are comparing the Pi to a PC that costs 4 - 8 times more (and in a much larger formfactor), so it's not surprising that it's faster.
Replacement by Wayland, for real
Imitators may get frustrated by the need to go deep with others because they can’t, but to say that experts don’t share that same frustration is nonsense.

There are many audiences who want you to go deep, but are not capable of a necessary level of understanding. In fact, these audiences are the ones who become what the author claims are imitators; pretending to understand when they do not.

Experts are experts not because they’re teachers; they’re experts because they’re experienced and are executionally excellent.

streptococcus + sepsis + necrotizing soft tissue infection.

Anyone who has worked with bacteria on agar will be fully aware of streptococcus (Staphylococcus aureus).

Those round yellow blobs that infect areas of the agar.

In my own work I noticed that I had a lot of agar contamination simply because I failed to brush my teeth prior to doing agar work.

We sometimes forget how contaminated our mouths are with all sorts of bacteria living in there.

I wrote a cynical take on "how it happened" at the time: https://joshua.hu/losing-sight-vision-mission-of-your-role

I think it comes from the divorce of what people are hired to do versus what their work actually contributes to. I also remember the countless cloudflare turnstiles that I've had to get through one way or another on airlines' websites which reset every minute (looking at you, airserbia, for being the worst).
They did. In fact the Post Office knew there were bugs because of course there was a bug database that tracked them, along with manual interventions to fix the ledger that SPMs were unaware of. Part of why this scandal was able to go so far is that the management of the Post Office routinely lied to the courts under oath and claimed no bugs were known, etc. They also presented expert witnesses (programmers) from Fujitsu who also claimed there were no problems and the discrepancies must be caused by fraud, whilst also knowing that it wasn't true.

Absolutely everything about this case is shocking and shows really evil behavior at every level. Evil isn't a word I ever use lightly, but Paula Vennells and her crew knew full well they were sending innocent people to prison and seem to have just doubled down at every opportunity. A good way to summarize the mundane evil of Vennells' character: when BBC One broadcast a news item about the scandal way back in 2014, she emailed the chair of the Post Office Alice Perkins to say it was just "hype and human interest" and that she was "more bored than outraged" by the whole affair. She then kept on imprisoning innocent people and lying about it.

Unfortunately one reason this case is neuralgic is that a big part of the blame lies with the toxic legacy of diversity hiring and the push for female CEOs at any cost. Something that came out recently is that the government and Post Office both knew that Vennells was completely unsuited to lead it way back in 2014 [1], with people saying she lacked knowledge had trouble working with people who challenged her, but:

The document also said it would be “more difficult” to remove Vennells due to the impending general election, which took place in 2015. “Ministers would be conscious of the political implications,” it said.

What political implications and which ministers? At the time the BBC were giving fawning bios that explicitly stressed in the headline that Vennells is a woman [2]. She was the responsibility of Jo Swinson, who was Postal Minister. Vennells was lying to Swinson too [3], so she isn't entirely to blame, but Swinson in turn is a feminist who felt it was very important to have more women in business and politics. She's written a book called "Equal Power" on gender equality, for example. Vennells was a high profile female CEO; firing her for mere incompetence was clearly not something civil servants thought Swinson would be willing to do. Instead Vennells was rewarded and made excuses for.

Spanish version is much more compact and can be pronounced quicker so it can be used as pun.

This English version, you cannot just punch it, there has to be a pause like after "yet" or a comma before yet and then punch is delivered but still "understands nothing" is a mouthful compared to "pero de ná entiende" even though my Spanish is non existing, still feels like I could pronounce it much faster or much easier.
That's often worth an FTC complaint for a CAN-SPAM Act violation: https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/can-spam-act...

What do you even mean by "better"?

Who is it that can manage the niche software needed to digest the data sets but have such trouble figuring out how to navigate that web page? Of what use would they be to the academics and weird nerds?

It took me less than two minutes to figure out navigation and how the menu works. If you really want to make an impression in this area it would probably be better to spend time on improving VO-software and organising study groups where you live.

I don't understand why they got down voted because this question has a rather obvious answer. Do you motivate a person to behave a specific way because it's instrumentally good for a higher purpose, or because the behavior itself is inherently valuable? That's a perfectly coherent, it makes a real distinction, and it's a legitimate question in this context.

I consolidated about a dozen raspberry pis and virtual servers onto a Hyper V server https://info.microsoft.com/ww-landing-microsoft-hyper-v-serv...

Hyper V Server runs any Linux VM via VHD or ISO installation image. You can provision using Vagrant to automate your setup.

It was nice to consolidate all of my resources, clean up the spider web of raspberry pi’s, and reduce VM costs by running everything locally .

Many of the MPG winds of the 90s and 00s were eaten back up by mandated safety standards. A 2020 focus weighs 10-20% more than a 2000 MY one, for example.

Everything's a tradeoff, but it seems that part of the tradeoffs include access to tools critical for your product to function correctly being taken away without a way to get it back. Maybe that can be an acceptable tradeoff, but I'd personally not like living with that.

Because software is fun, and I get to work with cool things. There is a joy in programming in and of itself.

I guess your question doesn't make sense to me. Just because it will eventually be broken, does that automatically mean there's no value in software? I don't think that's true, it just probably means you should have an analog backup process if possible, especially for critical things like government services.
While I can't disagree with your general candour, you might find that I will challenge you on anything else :-) There it is, the allowance to do so.

The manufacturer is the same, what dies is the brand name; the very same product is just being packaged in a box with another name. I mean, you shouldn't place too much importance in the name, just look at the real iron inside the box.
We, as westerners, are used to give a lot of importance to brand names, possibly because it comes from the old times when brand names identified products with the families that created them; that is completely different from how it works in far east today.

It's less likely for two stable parties to make up 90% of the electorate in such a system, because splitting parties is much easier. If the US had proportional representation, there's no way Nikki Haley and Marjorie Taylor Greene would be in the same party, nor Bernie Sanders and Kamala Harris. But this split will never happen in the current system because leaving one of the two major parties would be electoral suicide.

There are ten factions represented in the Knesset (Israeli parliament) and the biggest one (Likud, Netanyahu's party) got 23% of the vote in the last election.

It's true that fringe parties can have outsized influence in a proportional system, but the US system suffers from the opposite problem: fringe elements can take over one of the major parties, which seems to be well on its way to happening with the Republicans now.
