In this model you would never buy a car with a brand new battery. You'd buy the car and pay the first deposit on the battery from the dealers swap stack.

The car would be considerably cheaper. Your battery deposit would be a lot more than people want but basically ensured enough capex to keep new batteries entering the market of rented/leased batteries.

Lambo and Ferrari might be outside the model. And top range models from any manufacturer. Any normal car would be in this framework. If you don't care about cost and delay to recharge you wouldn't want it. Trucks and ordinary mortals would really be better off.
Paypal froze my account over a decade ago for not being 18. I had about 400$ built up in there from selling various gaming cheats as a kid. Despite being assured at the time I would get the account back after turning 18, many appeals later that never happened.
How much of this is driven by lumpy delivery? Tesla used to do this all the time: book thousands of orders, send them all over on a boat at once, then announce that they were the top-selling car in Swagistan (for that month, and no longer time scale). Is it the same story for BMW?

Hacker culture has changed in the past ten years or so. The lodestar is no longer ESR's Jargon File, nor the GNU Manifesto, nor Steven Levy's Hackers. They're just ideals of what we think hacker culture should be, but that's not how hacker culture is actually practiced (if it ever was).

As more and more queer and trans people have gotten involved with hacker culture, they've brought queer and trans political and philosophical thinking with them and with it, a new orientation. They're sort of terraforming the hacker space to make it more comfortable and welcoming to people like them. I mean Mara Bos, a leading developer in the Rust ecosystem, states that her goal is to "make the Rust standard library more gay". Cishets are still welcome, of course, inasmuch as they give due respect to queer and other marginalized people in the community and do not express regressive opinions about the same.

The Q in LGBTQ can stand for Queer, or it can stand for Questioning; and maybe that's the basic mindset of queer theory that's applicable here: to question everything, especially your assumptions, and examine critically the social constructs that are intrinsic to the environment in which you live and work. Especially give thought to who is centered and who is marginalized by your efforts.

Allison Parrish does a great job of explaining this attitude in her talk "Programming is Forgetting: Towards a New Hacker Ethic":

http://opentranscripts.org/transcript/programming-forgetting...

> which is contrary to the hacker philosophy, which respects merit and skill

Coraline Ada Ehmke slew the meritocracy buddha in 2018: https://where.coraline.codes/writing/meritocracy/

She and Parrish are probably the most prominent exponents of what constitute the new norms of hacker culture. Oh, and uh, both are trans women.

That's the thing: Hacker culture never was as inclusive as people claimed it was. It was still oriented around the cishet white male nerd; inasmuch as others outside that template were allowed to participate, it was made more difficult for them because of the cishet-white-male-nerd-oriented assumptions and norms that were intrinsic to the community (as Parrish elucidates with her example about Margaret Hamilton being unable to assemble her programs on the surreptitiously modified PDP-1). That's what's changing.

Remember, traditional hacker culture could never exist without vast sums of DARPA money to supply funding for the equipment, resources, payroll, etc. It only came about because the military-industrial complex wanted the missile to know where it is as it hurtled through the sky on its way to blow up thousands or millions of Others. It is inadequate as a general framework that allows for talented people regardless of background to make a contribution. The queer hackers are attempting to modernize this framework to better meet the goal of welcoming valuable contributions regardless of the contributor's identity, using their experience as outcasts among outcasts.

And I keep my sunglasses in my car's glove compartment to use when I'm driving, with the only times I wear them being then and when I'm doing physical activity (running, sports, etc).

New, less physically risky use cases for sunglasses will not appear in my life just because I get a more expensive pair of them.
Just don't do that. Some of us (hello) live in countries that perform or tried to perform HTTPS MITM on a massive scale, and only had to roll back because so much well behaving shit broke.

If software suddenly started accepting invalid certificates, they would have no incentive of rolling it back. HTTPS would make zero sense then.
Right, because the AVP is ignoring the only useful application for VR today by eschewing precision controllers to try to get OFFICE WORKERS to strap on this monstrosity of a strap-on facial PC to do PRODUCTIVITY tasks. What a joke.
If it's the Lumix S5 I have the same camera and as far as I know you are getting genuinely more resolution but it relies on there being absolutely no movement in the scene. So, great for buildings and architecture, terrible in forests or city streets.

I love the developer experience of Dear ImGUI, even though I use it through Python wrappers that confuse things sometimes. It just slices like a sword through several layers of often-pointless abstraction and puts the control over the main loop right in your hands.

And when you need to read the source to figure something out, it's just a few files of pretty self-evident C-ish code.

Love the retro design, but from the looks of it, it's a heavy and fairly bulky item to drag around.

I know there is no Pi 5 variant of the compute module yet, but it seems like a safe assumption one is on the way — if your goal is to design something portable, I'm not sure why you would design around the full Pi form factor and not the compute module?

While BMW does have some models that are blatantly electric like the i3, most of their electric cars look pretty much just like the regular gasoline ones. I think it's a clever move that taps into their existing market dynamic.
How was it possible for both "Cliff Stoll" and "Clifford Stoll" to exist? Shouldn't your legal name be used as it is (i.e. no nicknames) on all papers? Or did you change your legal name?
Well in any case, I’m sorry that happened to you. It sounds awful.
It would just be a change of law or regulations. Governments change these all the time, and sometimes it costs people or businesses money.

In any case, nationalisation has a long history in the UK, so it would hardly be setting a precedent.

> Do the current nanometer generations really make all that much a difference when it comes to drones or missiles?

For current-generation weapons; no, not really. I suspect the US wants to stop the export of Nvidia to prevent Russia and China from getting an all-inclusive SDK for computer vision and ML. That makes sense; Nvidia is partnered with Northrop Grumman and the rest of "the complex". Giving competitors parity with your flagship weaponry is a bad foot to start off future battles on.

My best guess (just flying by the seat of my pants) is that the US wants to push their advantageous relationship with key NATO partners like ASML to drive a hard tech advantage in the future. Chips like STM-32s and 8088 clones are already mass-produced without license in China and sold to manufacturers wholesale. America can beat them (on paper) by leveraging the IP they have domestically to create superior alternatives locally, albeit at-cost. In high-margin markets like weaponry I think this will work; but for consumer products it's going to be a doozy to stop relying on unlicensed Chinese components and cheap labor.

History shows this strategy has worked before. Without importing Russian engines, the PRC aerospace industry was utterly crippled for a good few decades. If the US can strand China on low-yield EUV nodes, there's potential to leapfrog Chinese compute capability by an order of magnitude. Both China and the US have committed to more than they're capable of with their domestic fab strategy, time will tell if either of them get anything from it.

Yeah k8s is great. It gives you an infinite rope generator to let you hang yourself with ever increasing complexity, but with a bit of restraint you can orchestrate pretty much anything in a simple or at least standard way.

I guess you're both right. People knew there'd be reasons computers would be nice to have, but scoffed at the idea that it would be realistic, or would become an actual necessity. People now know that there are ways VR could be cool, but many aren't yet convinced it can be done well enough/cheap enough to be worth it, nor are they imagining it being day-to-day tech yet.
Disclosure: I'm not a theoretician, but just an old industrial physicist who helps design measurement equipment.

What I've noticed is that most physicists are aware of the great epistemological puzzles, and may even have briefly dabbled in them, but also tend to ignore them if there's work to be done. There's a lot of pleasure and utility to be gained from just finding a hard problem and working on it, maybe even solving it, or inventing something.

When people find out that I'm a physicist, and ask me about those puzzles, I usually plead ignorance. I'm not dismissive of them, or anti-intellectual, but I think you shouldn't let them be an obstacle to the enjoyment of physics, either as a spectator or practitioner.

I mean, the R5 IBIS mode was always a bit of a toy. No compensation for motion blur, no compensation for hand held, and even when it works it's still not super-resolution without artifacts.

But it's mostly "shoot with a tripod, nobody move", and if I'm in that situation, most of the time you're better of getting a smaller FOV and taking shots for panoramic stitching.

In what way is it impossible to consistently apply?

Our opinions of the outcome of its application aside, this seems very clear to me: either there were bans on categories of weapons at the time of the founding, or there wasn’t.

Further, the existing ban on machineguns is on very shaky ground even without the recent jurisprudence.

A brief history: the National Firearms Act was passed in 1934, placing a $200 tax on the transfer of automatic firearms, suppressors, and disguised firearms. (edit: a $5 tax on “any other weapons”, which were intended to include disguised firearms) Initial drafts of the law also included handguns, but those were removed to help its passage. Because handguns were originally included, short-barreled rifles and shotguns were as well; when handguns were removed from the bill the others were not.

The NFA was not a ban at all - it was a tax intended to make it prohibitively expensive for everyday citizens to be able to afford those weapons. It was therefore seen to be justified under Congress’s taxation authority.

In 1968, the Gun Control Act prohibited the import of newly-manufactured automatics.

In 1986, an amendment of the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act was added (the “Hughes Amendment”) that prohibited the registration of any new automatic weapon. This was justified through the “power of the purse” - Congress explicitly withheld funding for the addition of new machineguns to the registry.

At that point, there is a contradiction - how can the NFA be justified through taxation authority after the law was amended to make it impossible to collect that tax?

In fact, that Marihuana Stamp Act of 1937 was modeled on the NFA, and by the late 1960s was widely considered likely to be overturned on the basis that it was not, in effect, a revenue generation measure. This lead to the passage of the Controlled Substances Act in 1970, which repealed and replaced it.
I was there in the 80s when it made the mall arcade circuit and again in the 90s when it made the college student union circuit. I was there in the 00s when 25,000 devices made the Silicon Valley circuit. I was there in the 10s when Oculus stirred things up again. I'm here in the 20s when Apple is trying. I'll be here in the 30s when the next round hits AND FAILS AGAIN.

People care about their faces. They're not going to strap a 1.5 pound dork-box to their face and head mussing their hair and makeup to do what they can already do on their phones or laptops. What they cannot do on their phones or laptops (or game consoles or tablets or rings or watches or whatever) they can do on a $500 Quest.

There's no market for a PC-priced device that straps to your face like ski goggles. It's an accessory. Price it at $100 or $200 or even $500, but you can't price it at $1000 or $4000 because it's a toy.

That's the same with.. the Linux kernel? I'd wager that most services people write have less complexity than the the kernel it runs on. We choose to do that not because we need its full feature set, but because it gives us useful abstractions.

I think there is a Jean shepherd story about his apprenticeship spent in a harp or piano factory. I think the arc is he started out lost and hating it, finally started to like it and then they chose to keep the other kid they hired.

So he was left unsure how he felt.
The book "Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion Against Big Tech" covers lots of stories like this from the industrial revolution. The luddites resisted having their work taken over by machines. The machines produced worse quality, but were cheaper and lowered the skill level required to do the work. It also made output predictable, allowed people to be bunched into factories and enabled child labour and other kinds of exploitation.

At the time people resisted having their autonomy taken away by smashing the machines and burning factories. It's a great book that will surprise you with how similar many of the situations we deal with today are.

I know the post is about "discernment", but I think the author kind of missed the real issue. It's about automation making things shitty, so that society can be reshaped to maximize profit extraction. We _could_ live in a world that strikes a balance between the relentless drive to automate and a more humanistic approach, but that would require structural changes.
I would go for higher than 16K. I believe BitTorrent's default minimum chunk size is 64K, for example. It really depends on the use case in question though, if you're doing random writes then larger chunk sizes quickly waste a ton of bandwidth, especially if you're doing recursive rewrites of a tree structure.

Would a variable chunk size be acceptable for whatever it is you're building?
Yes https://i.imgur.com/ZNv1AyD.jpg

Although BMW is making some nice EVs and they are selling more than they used to, the headline is misleading.
You are talking about something entirely different than myself or the OP.

OP, and this discussion is about PayPal the credit card processor (their main business), not PayPal the p2p payments things a la Venmo.

For p2p payments, you do need to verify the account, otherwise it will be locked. They go out of their way to tell you this, so if you refuse to do so, do not be surprised when your account is limited or locked.

> It takes half a year for the new account to become more trusted and be less flagged.

This is entirely made up. Simply verify you account. They offer several ways. They have to verify who they are allowing to receive/send money for very obvious reasons.

Fun fact, people love Venmo and hate PayPal - yet few realize they're actually the same company.

Lactate accumulates in the body only during a high intensity exercise, which generates lactate faster than it can be consumed by oxidation (like a sprint for up to 400 m).

When the intensity of an exercise is low enough that you could sustain it for much more than a few minutes continuously, there should be no increased amount of lactate in the body.
Cannot judge if you are in a bubble but BMW has more variety for electric models than Tesla. There are probably some customers that care.

It's not a sweet spot. It's less then 10 million MAU over 5 years for about $40 billion dollars. How is that a sweet spot. If you can't get 10 million MAUs in 5 years for $40 billion dollars, you're a failure. Quest is a failure. AVP being an even bigger failure doesn't make Quest a success.
TIL about Talos (https://github.com/siderolabs/talos, via your github/onedr0p/cluster-template link). I'd been previously running k3s cluster on a mixture of x86 and ARM (RPi) nodes, and frankly it was a bit of a PiTA to maintain.

> indie developers can't memorize everything in 100s pages of policies/rules etc

I am certain that if there are any developers that care about policies, it's the indie ones. And there are still too many rules for them to follow, and invisible lines they're unaware they can't cross.

The developers at Big Tech don't get banned from Google Play because Google isn't going to de-list Netflix, Spotify or Microsoft.
