One of the best understandings of inflation is to use the mathematical concept of "equality" on those. They're two ways of phrasing the same thing.

A lot of people do a lot of bad thinking when they say "oh, well, inflation is umptybumpkins percent, so the fact that cars are that much more expensive is 'just' inflation, and thus isn't anything".

But inflation is prices going up. When the various sources release "how large inflation is", they are telling you "this is how much prices went up". Ignoring prices going up because "oh, the prices went up because of inflation" is basically using the thing's own existence to argue that it doesn't exist, which, while abstractly sort of impressive, is not strong thinking.

There are some arguments about what causes prices to go up, but that's a separate question.

Americans vote against their own self interests constantly. How is this any different? Or do you think the US govt couldn't backstop it's own car companies until they became cost competitive? Seems like a win/win if we want to speed up EV adoption and reduce global emissions. If a new $20k EV with 300 miles of range was released tomorrow, we'd see massive adoption similar to the original Model 3. Americans I believe are largely ready for EV adoption but the only thing stopping the majority is price.
> For all the talk of gross national happiness, it's hard to imagine a young person feeling happy in a poor country with very limited opportunities for upward mobility.

The early North American colonists had the same outlook about life among the Native Americans. However, is never a _single_ instance of a Native American running away from their tribe to join the colonists, but colonist defections to the tribes were a common occurrence, more among women than men.

Why? For all that talk of "upward social mobility and a better life", people figured out the Native Americans were _happy_ living in harmony with nature, and the women who escaped realized they had more personal freedoms with the "savages" versus the high-and-mighty Europeans who sold them on the good life at the colonies.

Upward mobility and money still aren't everything, despite the pressure those forces put on the world to appear so.

> I don't understand where this thinking comes from.

My observations, which certainly don't reflect the current state of the tech (although if I'm buying a used EV, I'm not buying the current tech). But that's my bias nonetheless. I do think I overemphasized this, though, because while this is what makes me shy away from the idea of used EVs, it's not the reason why I avoid buying cars that are too new (which includes pretty much all EVs).

Rather, to accept the article without skepticism requires one to believe that Trump is a white supremacist anti-Semite.

The matter of concern here (completely independent of the article) is that he doesn't seem to mind inviting such characters into his house.

But no, I don't think Trump is a fascist, textbook or otherwise.

The concern is that he unmistakably flirts with fascist rhetoric and techniques of psychological manipulation.

> add that to the list of disclaimers in the small print

Correct. Instead of a vague "registration fees may apply" disclaimer now there's a "registration fees assuming <city>, <state>" disclaimer. It's definitely not worse for anyone, and is arguably better for the customers who will register in <city>, <state>. That's a green light for a utilitarian.

Yes, all PHEVs have regenerative braking. I sold my Chevy Volt a few months back with 50K miles and the brakes were like brand new. It’s very possible that they’ll outlive the rest of the car.
From a brief look, I think he's trying to position it for "Exploratory DOM Analysis". The intro demo looks scheme/smalltalk like in that you are creating the structure and primitives as you go (as demonstrated by changing 'ivory' to 'red' and watching the syntax highlighting change in realtime).

I understand how we got here, but it's a shame that javascript frameworks and libraries aren't easier to just play with in the browser. It's just JS, you should be able to play with it quickly in a lightweight environment. This approach excels at that. This approach brings back the whimisical possibilities of HTML/JS. I'd love to see more stuff like that and less TS, rollup, webpack,...

It can, but the degree to which it does in practice varies. A used Maserati with $1000+ oil changes definitely will. Failure costs of components at end-of-life usually don't, until a vehicle is approaching end-of-life. But the regular maintenance for a typical (P)HEV is mid-life is similar to other vehicles.

> Do you really want a plugin car that loses its charge in 30 minutes?

Yes? Probably half of all my drives are 30 minutes or less, round trip. Some get closer to 40ish minutes of driving on battery, which would cover more like 90% of my drives.

AFAIK it's not (usually?) two drive trains, it's one electric drive train and a generator that's way smaller than a normal gasoline engine.
> Idealism?

From some point on, yes, because the modern world was born on many past such idealists. Fetishising material goods and materialism as a whole are a very big explanation for the mess we're now all in at the civilisational level.
To draw this parallel situation, you're stipulating a few things: microbes feel pain, X good is as good as X bad is bad, and that actively bringing about a good thing is equivalent to avoiding a harmful thing. I don't think any of these are true, so I disagree.

That’s my point: TCP in the datacenter remains a 1% problem, in the sense that only 1% of customers actually have this as a problem, and only 1% of those have the ability to invest in a solution. At that point, market conditions incentivize protecting their work and selling it to others (e.g., Public Cloud Service Providers) as opposed to releasing it into the wild as its own product line for general purchase (e.g., Cisco). It’s also why their solutions aren’t likely to ever see widespread adoption, as they built their solution for their infrastructure and their needs, not a mass market.
> Cheap-ish electric cars exist, they're just not, generally, suited to US consumer preferences.

Some of the brands you listed aren't even really available in the US, or if they are that are 100% marked up with tariffs.

Big cars are definitely a thing in the US, but I'd kill for a ~$20k smaller EV hatch commuter to swap out my Model 3.
The benefit of EVs comparatively is that the drivetrain is much simpler than an ICE vehicle. If a motor dies, unbolt it and swap in a new one. Same thing for the battery pack. Sure, it's inconvenient, but if these Chinese companies are willing to offer the same warranties as American manufacturers, then what's the problem?

Native widget libraries is whatever the OS vendor puts on the SDK, and ships on the installers for their compilers.

The large majority of Electron apps that happen to land on Mac and Windows land, usually come from GNU/Linux shops, that also feel like targeting other operating systems, and since that is the solution for GNU/Linux, they dump it into everyone else.

I believe the plan was to ask the TPM of the computer.

From what I understood, each TPM has a unique private/public key pair (Endorsement Key (EK)), and then this key is certified by the manufacturer of the TPM.

From there, you can generate a Attestation Keys, and these keys are signed by the EK.

https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/235148/whats-th...

So essentially, at the end of the day, Chromium would ask the TPM for attestation, and it would act as a unique Device ID.

Then they can allow only a selected list of TPM manufacturers certificates, to prevent emulators for example.

TL;DR: Chromium on Linux would ask the TPM chip for a signature, and each TPM chip has a different signature from the moment it is out of the factory.
Teslas are one of the few vehicles where you can actually get the model at the lowest price they advertise because they are all delivery. Almost every other make and model will show you a price in their advertisements that you can’t find anywhere and make you wait forever to order one. I’ve often thought it was deceptive advertising because the price they show in their TV ad is one almost nobody actually gets or likely could. I’m pretty sure Lexus has a version of the RX with cloth seats and no touchscreenthat they only make one of just so they can use the price in their ads.

I don’t know how many people actually opt for the lowest end version of Teslas but I believe you can get them with essentially no more difficulty than any other version.
> Are you willing to give that information to every dealer you're querying about price?

Dealerships generally get your name and phone number if you call them to ask about the price including fees and taxes. If you make them post defaults online, they get nothing from you. Clearly better.

> There are also choices you can make during the registration process that will change the costs a bit.

I'm curious about this. Do you have some examples?

Besides GP is also talking about things like the shipping fee, which are decidedly not variable or unknown. The dealership knows how much it costs them to ship the car from the factory and how much they want to charge you. They just choose not to disclose it.
Was yours a living donor or deceased donor? In my case, they brought several recipients of different organs together in the same hospital so that the transplants could be carried out quickly. This was a deceased donor case though, so they may have had a tighter window to meet.
Thank you for the encouragement! Avoiding alignment gaps is indeed pretty great: I have a vision of packing Arrays into 9 bytes split over two or three cache lines.

On typed indexes: If we accept only about 2^24 possible index values then we could use a 32 bit integer for our Values, or at least for Objects (if we want to keep 7 bytes worth of stack data, which is pretty hard to pass on).

Eh, I wouldn't count on it. Transit's trying to compete with the behemoths, and this seems to be their latest shot at securing a competitive advantage. I, too, hope they open-source their work eventually, but I also want to see them succeed in disrupting the transportation navigation space! (Not that those things are mutually exclusive, of course.)
I'm not sure about Bhutan, because I've never been there, but for sure I think that middle-class life here in Romania (for those that can afford it) is a lot better and more relaxed than middle-class life in Norway (for starters, people here in Romania don't have to fear the State taking away their kid at a moment's notice, as it happens in Norway). Which is to say that those "charts" are very deceptive.
> advocate for activating bio lockout at the border

This is a terrible idea. When you're crossing a border you have to submit to the rules of entry. If one of those rules is that you let them create an image of your phone with all of its contents, that's the rule. If you say no, then, if you're lucky, you get to turn around and return to where you came from. If you're not lucky, then you get to go to jail.

What needs doing is the ability to make a backup then a way to reconcile the backup at a later date with the contents of a device. That is, I should be able to backup my phone to my home computer (or cloud I guess) and then wipe my phone or selectively delete contents. Then I travel abroad, take photos and movies, exchange messages with people, and so on. Then when I get home I should be able to restore the contents of my phone that were deleted without having to wipe all the new stuff from the trip.
Okay, plausible, I guess. The problem boils (no pun intended) down to a problem of anthropocentric one; that is, it's impossible to ask a shrimp how much it hurts. Perhaps it hurts a lot or only hurts a little, or it varies based on other factors. It's not necessarily an unknowable, but it's an unknowable in human-relatable terms because (human) intelligence and theory of mind frame taking requires a prerequisite of linguistic understanding and compatibility. (Has not almost every conquering civilization deemed every indigenous group it encountered to be "dumb" or "subhuman" simply by not being able to converse? And, I'll take it one further that "intelligence" is purely a qualitative property inferred by performative interaction often respecting either strategy signals, complexity of response, or academic fashions... all requiring a shared language. This leaves out all other species because humans haven't yet evolved the intelligence or tools to communicate with other species.)

Also, why not endeavor to replace meat grown by slaughtering animals with other alternatives? The optimization of such would reduce the energy, costs, biothreats, and suffering that eating other living beings creates.

> Cops are a relatively recent phenomena. (Cops as a uniformed, central office, patrolling force.)

Not at all, Spain for example had local "brotherhoods" who were meant to protect the local communities against bandits and other unwanted people, and this was back in the 12th century. I'm sure other countries could have been even earlier with their early versions of a police force. "Santa Hermandad" is a term you can look up to find some history about it.
This is one of those arguments that you reach when you go in a certain direction for long enough, and you can divide people into two camps at this point by whether:

* they triumphally declare victory--ethics is solved! We can finally Do The Most Good!

* or, it's so ridiculous that it occurs to them that they're missing something--must have taken a wrong turn somewhere earlier on.

By my tone you can probably tell I take the latter position, roughly because "suffering", or "moral value", is not rightly seen as measurable, calculatable, or commensurable, even between humans. It's occasionally a useful view for institutions to hold, but imo the one for a human.

If you find this line of argument compelling, consider another alternative: engineering an organism which is much smaller and consumes far fewer resources than shrimp but which exists in a neurologically stable state of perpetual bliss. The survival and replication of this species of biological prayer-wheels would rapidly become a far stronger moral imperative (within the logic of the article) than any consideration for shrimp, or indeed humans.
Fewer side effects.
Yes, I've owned one for 4 years now and I genuienly believe this is what all cars should be, it's just such an obvious idea in hindsight it's crazy that this isn't what everyone is pivoting to. I do all of my daily driving on EV power using zero fuel and the car costs me close to nothing to drive(charging nightly on a cheap tariff), and when I need to drive across the continent to visit family I just put in fuel and go, no bother with charging on the way. And on slightly longer drives the entire system improves efficiency a lot - just did a 100 mile drive this weekend to a holiday cottage, averaged 45mpg both ways, and that's in a 2.2 tonne SUV with 400bhp. That's the kind of number you'd see out of a diesel normally.

> This is a vague claim made by the anti policing activists

Probably a conclusion people come to when they compare US police looking more like the US military every day, while their local police doesn't go in that direction at all. At least that's true for me as a person living in Spain but sometimes seeing the really crazy equipment US police seems to have.
The average car today lasts 12 years, or 200,000 miles, with 300,000 miles possible with luck and good maintenance. Modern EV batteries are designed to last longer than that. Moreover, EV battery capacity loss is nonlinear: most (I've read 80%) of the eventual loss happens in the first couple years.

So if you're looking for a car with the least amount of battery degradation between purchase and EOL, buying a used EV rather than new is actually the better decision.
I've built some prototypes and is there any particular reason you didn't go for NaN-tagged indexes instead unless it's for 32bit? Numeric cases would've had less loads since it's a number directly and indexes in the mantissa should be enough for at least about 48bit of ref space.

I did consider a similar system ages ages ago for more easily embedding a JS engine into a C/C++ codebase, type-shapes would be allocated on a per page-basis so the runtime/GC wouldn't need any V-table pointers,etc on top of regular plain C object shapes to locate the type info but instead rely on an indirection per-page for those types shared with the C world. Ultimately felt a bit too complicated for something meant for embedding.
In this particular case IMO it's bad because it essentially removes nominal typing for arguably no benefit.

Even in Lean, a dependently typed language where recursors can be made explicit, people prefer using pattern matching instead of them. There is even sugar for transforming some recursors-like functions into pattern matching like syntax. FYI in Lean recursors are marked as non-computable due to performance concerns, so you can use them to write proofs but not programs.

Seen from yet another point of view, this is transforming inductive types in a function corresponding to a visitor. And yet functional programming folks spent years trying to convince people to replace visitors with proper inductive/algebraic data types and pattern matching, so this idea is a step backwards even for them.
