Manufacturers aren’t making tires and then turning them into microplastics alone. Pretending consumers aren’t part of the problem is misleading.

We could add fees to tire manufacturers, but be honest: It will just get added to the price of the tire. That’s fine if the goal is economic incentives or funding remediation, but people start to lose interest in such fines as soon as they realize it comes out of their own pockets instead of from some imagined slush fund manufacturers are keeping to themselves. (See similar problems with conversations about tariffs, which people only like until they realize they will be paying for them.)
How is fast compilation possible with C++-like templates? That seems impossible.
Well, given a semi only averages 8x the miles of a car per year, your initial claim is wrong.

> Financial code needs to use integer math for everything. Floating point and 'decimals' lead to unexpected results.

Decimals are integers. There's no difference between integer math and decimal math, only in the meaning of the bit pattern afterwards.
EVs are heavier but I suspect the wear is less than you might think because the braking is gentler with regenerative braking, so less wear on the tyres.

Also, there's quite a bit of pollution from break pads and discs, also reduced because of regenerative braking.

I couldn't find numbers though, with a brief bit of googling.
We are approaching the third year and you're unaware to the degree the Russian military industrial complex was revealed as a fraud?

The NATO concern with Russia in a conventional conflict isn't whether they would win, it's if they would win so convincingly that Russia would immediately escalate to nukes.
The application menus (like File, Edit, etc) had a built-in way of detaching them when they were expanded so that you could keep them open and place them somewhere convenient on your screen. This was useful if you had to select different menu options frequently.
Still no science though. One exec's views in a large company doesn't equal science.

What are you trying to avoid, exactly? The cost?

I didn't say anything about avoiding anything.

I simply pointed out that the correlation you pointed out may not be causal, and asked whether the intervention you propose has been shown to be effective.

It sounds like the answer is 'no'.

It's really not that much heavier, less than double. A Model 3 and a 3 series BMW weigh about the same.
Genuinely curious if there are any real efforts to address this available to the consumer. In the kind of idiot who will buy more expensive tires because they shed less plastic, but as far as I’m aware I don’t actually have that opportunity.
Of all the things you can complain about the language, how could you choose the thing that Go got right? It's K&R style is probably the best.
How much do they? The bulk of the sound is behind the bike where it serves no purpose other than angering people because of how overly loud they are.
Assigning blame is less interesting to me than whether there are potential avenues for an alternative that both serves as tires and avoids this micro plastics issue.
As a recent (a few weeks ago, in fact) buyer of a Lightning, as well as a two-time Tesla owner ... I totally agree. My pickup weighs 6500 pounds and will hit 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. That is ridiculous. Technically that makes it faster than my Model 3LR (though traction on damp pavement is definitely better on the Tesla than on the Ford).

It's easily the best pickup I've ever driven. Perfect (and I mean perfect) 50/50 weight balance, astonishing power, low center of gravity, etc. It simultaneously feels like a 6500 pound truck, but also doesn't. It feels like it defies physics sometimes.

> The future of cars, including and maybe especially fast cars, is exciting.

1000% agree. We used to think that the horsepower wars of the 2010s was the pinnacle of performance, but EVs are just raising the bar even higher.
UX stands for user experience, not for interaction?
I don't think spark is easier to learn. Ada probably is. Ada sacrifices some performance for some of the benefits rust gets for free though, and deallocating memory is unsafe in the versions I've played with. If forbidding free is the way we choose to eliminate use after free, then there are a lot more memory safe languages.
Making manufacturers pay is equivalent to making consumers pay.

The price is passed on to the consumer. The idea of “making manufacturers pay” in commoditized markets like tires is a feel-good myth. Any additional fees will go to the consumer price.
A home address is considered PII (Personally Identifiable Information) because, when combined with a name, it directly identifies where someone lives.

When people share their address with businesses, they are generally protected under laws like GDPR and CCPA.

OP’s site seems a bit hosed at the moment so I can’t dig into their privacy policy and see how they handle GDPR and CCPA deletion requests.
Russia is an underdeveloped country. 1/4 of the population doesn't have indoor plumbing. If you don't live in St. Petersburg or Moscow, your standard of living is just not very comparable to the rest of the developed world. It's like if NYC and Seattle were the only two major American cities and the rest of the country was basically Appalachia.

"The Russian military is large and modern, but the modern part isn't large and the large part isn't modern" is a basically true statement. They have a handful of modern platforms for prestige reasons but in very small quantity, and a large quantity of leftover Soviet trash. And even the "modern" stuff is several tiers below Western kit.
Checking https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SPARCstation_20 implies that that's a perfectly reasonable price for what it was? The more interesting question is (relative) sales volume I think.

Ukraine is fighting a war that prevents direct NATO Russia conflict on the polish border.

Russia has publicly stated their geopolitical goal is to reestablish control of the Suwalto gap.

That is in Poland I believe.

An invasion of Poland prompts all NATO members to declare war and attack Russia.

With the state of Russia's armed forces, NATO would devastate Russian armed forces within a week to the point, the Russian regime would not be able to defend itself from internal threats.

That would imply nukes
Road wear depends on weight.

Semi truck tires have hard, slow-wearing compounds.
Before Rust, C was my preferred language. It's really hard to talk about Rust in a way that doesn't sound like talking trash about C, because Rust's main reason to exist is preventing safety issues that… people programming in C usually say are not C's fault, so there's nothing to fix there.

The other aspect is that Rust has been developed recently, and didn't have to deal with all the legacy constraints of C. The features that Rust has would be mostly boring compared to modern GC or scripting languages, but they're notable for being in a language that can be as low-level as C. Comparing them directly to C does like trashing C — namespaced modules instead of textual inclusion, macro preprocessor based on AST (do-while tricks not needed), no headers, no need for build scripts in most programs, package management that works on Windows and macOS too, etc. Many other languages have this stuff, but C doesn't, so they're an interesting upgrade from C just because C is so old.

Ah, ok. But how many illiquid companies pay out dividends though?

The real alternative is to not tax illiquid wealth.
You can tax producers, who will then increase prices. Or you can apply a tax to the product directly, and make it appear that the consumer is paying. But who is actually paying it is a question of tax incidence and a function of demand and supply elasticities.[1]

> The car enthusiast obsession with vroom-vroom noises

BTW this is a gross generalization. Many of us car enthusiasts, including oldsters like me, love EVs. And if I'm feeling a bit spicy, the fact that I can use 100% of the power without announcing that to the world is exhilarating. I love a big rumbly V8, too, but everything has it's place.

Great question! Improving the speed of writing updates to DuckDB has been a significant focus for us. Early in the project, we identified that DuckDB is quite slow for single-row writes, as discussed in this issue: https://github.com/apecloud/myduckserver/issues/55

To address this, we implemented an Arrow-based columnar buffer that accumulates updates from the primary server. This buffer is flushed into DuckDB at fixed intervals (currently every 200ms) or when it exceeds a certain size threshold. This approach significantly reduces DuckDB's write overhead.

Additionally, we developed dedicated replication message parsers that write directly to the Arrow buffer, minimizing allocations.

A community contributor has validated & enhanced the effectiveness of our approach: https://github.com/apecloud/myduckserver/pull/207

We plan to publish benchmarks on replication latency and query performance in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!

The expectation is that heating is supplied by individual tenants of a building, however they chose to provide (or not provide) it. The building itself functions as a public commons area with the same lack of accommodation as a sidewalk.

Bathrooms exist in a kind of weird grey-space where it's better to centralize the plumbing for all tenants to save space and money, but provide almost no other amenity than lights.

Having traveled all over the world, the relationship different cultures have with the distinctions between "inside" and "outside" a structure can be quite fascinating.

In the Eastern parts of the U.S., north to south, inside is strictly segregated from the outside due to various climate issues. But in the Western states like California, many semi-public venues like restaurants are open to the outside.

Western Europe tries to maintain a inside-is-outside like the Western U.S., with lots of cafes and open store and restaurant fronts. And they tend to withdraw inside in colder weather.

In places like Southeast Asia, Central America, or the Carribean, there may not even be a real "inside" with most places being not much more than rain cover or a simulation of windows with no glass.

South Korea seems to exist somewhere in this continuum with the first floor and common spaces of many buildings being a sort of "outside" while the shops and restaurants may be either "outside" and open to the elements or "inside" and warm and cozy depending on the season.

Public and semi-public restrooms seem to be universally "outside" even if they are in 4 walls with a roof.

Unfathomable why they are making the drama up. And, involving judges? Madness. Had a friend choose VAD[0] (voluntarily assisted dying) here in Qld and it was a simpler and humane process.

This looks like classic British exeptionalism combined with fear of headlines. Sure, there are some sick stories out there like Canada's and creeping features in the Netherlands but there are also lots of other places like in Australia where it's a massive success story of relief for terminally ill people who retain their faculties and want the right to die on their own terms.

We had one fuckup this year: the patients partner mouthed the pills when she died before using them. Arthur Koestler move over?

British politicians think they know best and have a conscience? Nup. It's nanny state bullshit. It's yet another sign of the intrusion of religion into matters of state. VAD is overwhelmingly supported by voters too.

What you describe in your last paragraph and what I’m describing are actually very very different things.

These types of loans are absolutely used as part of tax avoidance strategies employed by net worth individuals of a certain asset class. It is unlikely anyone on HN is doing this successfully if at all. As I repeatedly indicated it’s used successfully by people in a certain asset class, and it’s part of a broader strategy regarding how wealth is managed for the individuals that are able to take advantage of this.

I also linked several articles on how these things work, here’s another that talks about the tax loophole specifically: https://equitablegrowth.org/closing-the-billionaire-borrowin...

I did not say it’s the only way people live off their wealth though. That is something I never stated or indicated

Now as far as the rates go I wish I could find the article that that talks about it from earlier this year, but yeah if you really are super high net worth you aren’t paying 7%, but even if we take that off the table for the sake of argument, if you expect to net more than interest paid by a significant enough margin the loans still make sense, and for the class of folks I’m talking about they will almost always be able to outpace the rate by a significant margin
Depends entirely on price.
Pretty sure most wear comes from the back tires (I should say the "power tires" to consider FWD vehicles). Many electric vehicles accelerate quite quickly, which just wears their tires even more.

Braking is braking. If you're stopping in N meters, regardless of how the braking force is applied (regenerative brake vs discs), the tire is the artifact taking the load.

Even then, most cars don't routinely brake as hard as they accelerate.

Motorcycles, with their high performance, are notorious for eating rear tires much faster than front tires, and they can't be rotated.

Then, there's my vehicle, full time 4WD (not AWD, there's a difference), it wears its tires quite evenly in contrast to 2WD/AWD vehicles.

...and then the price is added to the price of tyres. Like, where do you think the money is going to go? People can't easily substitute their car use, and there's nothing out there replacing rubber that's road legal, so all you're doing is just adding a tax to car use.

You could do this just as easily with gas taxes, registration fees or any other system.
I, too, have a lead foot. EVs are quick, and tires are the price.
Competition Bureau taking a shot at this seems like they just copy stuff from lawsuits in the U.S. Do they really understand or use terms like "ad tech stack"?

It very much depends on where you plan to live and work. Work opportunities are not evenly distributed.

Computer engineering has become a niche and there are few potential employers. Most computer manufacturers assemble computers from components and subsystems from Intel, AMD, TMSC, Nvidia, etc. Although it does require a great deal of expertise, it is not typical of what is taught as CE.

Consider what the proposed CE curriculum covers. In many cases university courses fail to keep up with the pace of technology. Industry experience is far more valuable than theory. There just isn't enough time during a semester to develop in-depth practical experience in any given area.

Electronic / embedded systems engineering have broader potential areas of application. FPGAs are potentially a very good skill to have. But, as above, consider in light of employment opportunities.

At the lowest design levels EEs obsess over transmission line effects and EMF radiation from PCB traces. These days advanced electronic circuits are microwave transmitters.

What problem?
Hard disagree. The aftermarket is stronger than ever.

V8s have been replaced by turbo engines which respond much more dramatically to modifications than any N/A V8.

There are numerous enthusiasts cars to pick from across manufacturers.

Tuning companies operate globally. People get their tunes from obscure companies in Europe.

ECU protections are being cracked regularly. Even “unhackable” ECUs are getting tunes year after year.

Stick shift options are available on a lot of enthusiasts cars. They’re slower, but people can get them if they want.

I’ve been hearing talk about the death of the car aftermarket for a decade, but every time it’s really just someone lamenting that it’s changing. I think people just get upset when the car scene of their younger years is no longer the popular scene (Mustangs and Camaros with V8s and stick shifts)
