Due to it being a common anti-EV talking point, tire longevity has been a strong selling point for EV tires. Longer lasting tires produce less particulates, so this natural pressure should also produce fewer particulates.

Popular EV's aren't significantly heavier than ICE vehicles. A Tesla model 3 and a BMW model 3 are both about 3500 pounds. Range is a huge selling feature for EV's and weight has a significant impact on range, so there is strong evolutionary pressure to lighten EV's. Crappy EV's like the Hummer are heavy; but popular EV's like Tesla's and Hyundai's have weight comparable to normal cars so that they can have impressive ranges without too many expensive and heavy batteries.

EV's increased tire wire is due to their massive torque at low range. If you want your tires to last, just don't drive like a hooligan. We got 70,000 km out of our first set of EV tires.

Tire particulates are an "all cars a bad" issue. EV's are not significantly worse than petrol vehicles vis a vis tire particulates. Their lack of exhaust particulates means that an EV produces about ~half the total number of particulates.
Yeah. As a general rule of thumb, dictionaries are simplistic, and extremely lagging, signals about everything a word can be about. No offense to dictionaries, since their goal is to be a succinct, useful, and universal summary of words, but it's usually a mistake to trot them out in an argument.

Would you take a dictionary's definition as the final matter on a complex philosophical topic, like epistemology? Or its starting point?

It gets even worse in the realm of something like politics, where different groups have contended over, and actively fought to redefine, the meanings of words over time.
The victims are the shareholders who were wiped out when the bank went under. The FDIC made the depositors whole, but not the other parts of the bank's capital structure.
When something sounds so outrageous, you have to wonder what the full story is.
It can't be as simple as the article suggests.

A bank CEO would have a solid understanding of debt and interest. I suspect he must have seen a legitimate opportunity but he didn't account for the human side of the equation that the crypto would be a rug pull.

Assuming you control a bank to such extent, you could potentially keep up a scheme going forever provided that you leave enough safety margins for interest rate increases.

I bet there are people running such schemes and getting away with them as we speak.

For example, you can loan money to someone you trust to buy crypto assets, if you and your friends hold most of the coins, you can achieve essentially any market cap you want... For example, you can spend $1000 a day to buy 1000 coins per day from your friend... You can move those newly purchased tokens back and forth 1000 times between different accounts so that your trading volume hits like $1 million per day. If you have 1 billion coins in circulation, your crypto's market cap is now $1 billion dollar... Becoming a billionaire on paper is easy!

It's basically the same thing that happens with stock markets except that the stock market involves more participants.

If you don't believe that this can work, consider that this is exactly how the banking system at large operates. It keeps borrowing new, increasing amounts of money into existence to pay back the old debts, using the inflating nominal value of collateral to justify the increasing size of the new loans. Literally the only difference is that in that case, it involves many real people moving money in a circle instead of one person moving money in a circle.

> Why can't we have nice things?

"Nice things" is a value judgement, subjective, and the question as phrased usually seems mostly rhetorical. It's always a struggle to communicate clearly.

We can, and do in fact have nice things. It's nice to be alive. It's nice to watch a beautiful sunset. It's nice to have potable drinking water. It's nice to have a computer with a keyboard and a monitor and an internet connection. And it's nice to be a part of a community.

But you have to take the good with the bad. We also have a fascistic police state. We have enormous wealth disparity and the resurgence of medieval plagues due to unsanitary living conditions on the streets of our cities. We also have microplastics in our bloodstreams. We have PFAS in our drinking water. We have Donald Trump.

I think your questions are pointing in the right direction. Profit motive. Dark patterns. Hamstrung governments. Acting selfishly.

Personally, I think we'll have a lot more nice things, and fewer bad things, when we can collectively acknowledge that the reason for microplastics and PFAS in our waters and bloodstreams is absolutely the result of the status quo. Just like addiction, the first step in getting help is admitting that you have a problem. And we most certainly need help.

It remains to be seen if we can admit that we have a problem.

> If there were problems with the margins or which types of apps were allowed regulations should have tackled that instead.

Yes, and no.

So, regulations did say: you can't prevent users from using other default apps than the ones you tell users to use. Hence users get a lot of new default settings: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41322904

On the other hand you can't really have a regulation listing all possible apps and app features that should be allowed on the app store: there are just too many of them. So the best course of action is to let users install the apps on their own. As a result for no reason at all Apple now allows gaming emulators on the App Store because alternative app stores allow them.

It's a tough balance to strike.

Another part to this is that there's a certain amount of cooperation between Royal Mail and councils street numbering and naming. Councils are the first authority over new streets/locations, changes like a property being split or merged (i.e. landlords converting to a property of multiple occupation and not telling them for various reasons, and then residents have issues getting post), residential/commercial, etc, and then that gets passed onto Royal Mail to update the PAF. If there's an issue with an address you've got to check with the council first, so there would be some good fit for centralization there.

But to get back on topic I’m not sure I get how wine is the same.

Wine is a product with large taste variations between the different regions and vine varieties. Plus depending of the year you will again have variations in the grapes which can be more or less balanced during the fabrication.

Some producers are known to have produced particularly great wine some specific years which lead to say bottles being very expensive but most of it is very much fact based.

The only dubious thing I see in wine is that the way aging changes the taste of a bottle is not an improvement indefinitely. At some point the wine just gets worst and the search for very old bottle is mostly posturing.

This is an important capability for the Hyperfiddle layer - a Universal UI is only as valuable as the data it reaches; i.e., as far as RAD platforms go, service connectivity is the only thing that matters. Today, connecting a service to a UI requires immeasurable amounts of glue code (constantly shifting, breaking, requiring ongoing maintenance) at the cost of ~$100k+ per year per service connection, and costs grow superlinearly with complexity of the service! Electric collapses to zero the cost of service connectivity.

> It is even possible that some of the laws of nature will be in conflict with each other in their implications, but each convincing enough in its own domain so that we may not be willing to abandon any of them. We may resign ourselves to such a state of affairs or our interest in clearing up the conflict between the various theories may fade out. We may lose interest in the "ultimate truth," that is, in a picture which is a consistent fusion into a single unit of the little pictures, formed on the various aspects of nature.

Mathematics alone cannot reflect on its conditions of possibility, and mathematical physics is as inept in that domain. The reason why the quantum physics vs. general relativity thing can't be resolved is not because we don't have the right math, its because to overcome it requires a paradigm shift away from the mathematization of physics, and to actually gain a familiarity with the conceptual apparatus that engendered these theories.

> Hot take: Markdown was nice back in the day when in-browser editors sucked

I don't think markdown came from that at all. It gets used that way a lot, but the point for me (and IIRC the point of it from the start) is that the format is just plain text that can be up-sampled to something a bit prettier where desired. It can be edited by hand, it can be understood by eye in its pure form, it isn't as verbose as other text-only options¹ meaning it doesn't distract from the content as much², it can be edited/viewed anywhere plain text can, etc.

It wasn't intended for web-based editors, web-based editors just started using it because it was preferable to them than other options at the time (HTML, BBCode, …).

Pretty much all non-Japanese food in Japan is some form of “cultural appropriation” to the extent that it plays into stereotypes/tropes Japanese people expect from that given “cuisine”. For example, Italian would consist of lots of cheese. Japanese “Italian” food is in a category of its own. In this case, it would be actual appropriation because it’s made by Japanese people rather than the given ethnic minority putting a spin on their cuisine. Best comment I’ve ever read on Reddit is that the Japanese don’t like cheese, they like the concept of cheese. Japanese people can’t stand strong smells nor spice, so that already greatly restricts the authenticity of food.

The exception would be if the restaurant is catering specifically or exclusively to the immigrant population. I’ve found this to be common in Vietnamese restaurants where it’s just a community hangout spot for the migrant workers.

Since you live in Yokohama, the entire town plays on stereotypes and tropes of what Japanese think of Chinese. Namely, all the fortune teller shops since the Japanese think Chinese people are mystical (the Western version is fortune telling machines feature an automata wearing a Turban or Gypsies).

Ask HN: Best path forward for cross-platform GPU compute code in 2024?
I quite like writing code for the GPU but I want to branch out and consider options that would run on both Mac and Windows. It seems the most wide-spread or powerful GPU technologies are quite platform-specific. Both CUDA and Metal are really enjoyable but each is locked to a single OS. There are efforts like SYCL but they have limited support or maturity for all platforms.

What direction should I focus my efforts? What alternatives am I not considering?

ETA 2:

> All but one of the crew survived. None of the passengers did.

___

I thought some passengers survived too? A nearby comment says, "His wife gave a statement about the storm and capsizing." Isn't that Lynch's wife they meant? [1]

I don't even know if he was married. But if he was, it feels likely his wife would have been there too. And since the six dead were Lynch and his daughter plus two other married couples, Lynch's wife wasn't among them. Either way, IIRC here were supposed to be ten passengers, and only six of them seem to have died. Also, wasn't the very first body found the ship's cook? [2]

So I think both of your statements are wrong.
