> I can tell you don’t own a BEV.

I don’t - my daily cost $1400USD, I don’t think there’s an EV on the planet that will work out cheaper before its batteries fail. Ignoring that I’d prefer one that could tow at least 5k lbs (which I make use of fairly frequently on my daily), seat 6 adults, cost only ~$300/year in maintenance (including tires and brakes), and go 750km without thinking about refuelling. And ideally would be comfortable and have good ride quality, which the vast majority of modern cars simply don’t (unless you spend far too much money).

> The range is a non issue 99% of the time when you’re driving around in your city. Charging at home is both cheap and super convenient.

I don’t live in the city, and trips to the city are minimum 50km round trip. Doable with most EVs, but that’s assuming I don’t actually go anywhere in the city. I also have to account for winter temperatures going below -30 relatively frequently, so would have to divide advertised range in half to account for regular worst-case conditions. And for used cars, maybe even more, especially if trying to hit anywhere close to the price point I pay for gas cars (and having to buy a car with older batteries).

I don’t go into work frequently, but when I do, it’s over 100km round trip, assuming I make no stops. That rules out pretty much all small “city” EVs when taking into account range loss in the cold.

Charging at home would be convenient, but I live 30 seconds from two gas stations, so I doubt it would be notably more convenient than that.

> Maintenance is cheaper, the car lasts longer.

Which EVs are known to last 3-400k miles without needing new batteries or having substantial range reduction? That’s what I anticipate out of my current car with only a ($1000) transmission rebuild at ~250k miles. The engine should outlast the car. Suspension components last ~200k miles, front brakes last 75k, rears last 150k. Tires last 40-60k and cost $500 for good ones.

> I don’t know a single person who buys a BEV and goes back. I know many who go the other direction.

Offhand I know at least 4. Mostly when they realize that “hey, my range has cut in half during this cold snap and I won’t be able to make it to X” or when they do the math and realize the extra $6-20k they spent they’re not saving in gas and maintenance before they buy another new car in 3-5 years. The ones who keep buying EVs usually do it for the image, or because they’re willing to spend substantially more money and sacrifice some convenience to drive a greener car. Most of both of those types (at least in my experience) also own a new luxury truck for hauling toys and taking kids to hockey, going on camping trips and that sort of thing.

> And as adoption rises and technology improves the case will get stronger and stronger.

I agree! But they’re not there yet. I would really like them to be, so that fewer people are buying gas cars who just want “a car.” I’d be happy to buy one myself if it made sense, but unfortunately it doesn’t.
I mean, yeah. Now that I have a stable well paying job I can say that. Back then I was kinda sad. My first interview in english. I was extra nervous.

The question is what is there to do now, especially for those living in the US.

My opinion is that probably strong and organized civil resistance is probably the only good venue now. Be it churches, clubs, unions or whatever. But not individuals in their homes.
Nobody knows what the “bad judgments” and what the “good judgments” are, and we certainly can’t trust anyone with self interest to tell us. Democracy is a means for empirical truth finding that’s resistant to manipulation.

> This is something one says on their deathbed when they have had a good life.

I can assure you the reaction at hand is not limited to those you suggest.

I know because I faced my own mortality, if only for a brief moment of time, far earlier than I ever expected and earlier than most would prefer I think. And when I did, this exact realisation hit me like a freight train. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a more profound, visceral moment.

What also may have helped, is developing quite a deep and close relationship with an individual who would later go on to pass from cystic fibrosis.

Now one of this is to say I may not now have an entirely different reaction when again it comes time for my card to be punched. However I feel like this has been somewhat tested by the SCI that would follow five years later. It's also not to say that what I felt had been a waste vs what is important will be applicable to all of us, in fact I am sure that realistically, it will be deeply different, personal and particular to each of us as individuals.

When I have particularly bad days as a result of my unlucky medical outcomes, I remind myself of what I experienced that night, and how lucky I was ultimately to be able to experience something like that, and then actually have somewhat of a "second chance" at taking a look down the second fork in the road.

TL;DR

I give 100x times less of a shit about a "career/being productive/min-maxing" than I once did. Your mileage may vary.

> (1) intentional fouling to get an advantage. It’s the only major sport where fouling can often work to your advantage.

nitpick: This happens in soccer as well. Oftentimes it's late in the game and you see the opponent has a counterattack that has a high probability of scoring. In that case, it's better for you to tactically foul them by taking them down before they reach your box and take the yellow card.
Hah, that one's still up even now.
Isn't road wear scale with the 4th power of vehicle weight?

EV vehicle weight definitely moves some needles in the wrong direction.

A Toyota Corolla weighs about 3,000, the Tesla model 3 weighs 3,500-4,000 depending on which model you buy. So a 16-33% increase in vehicle weight.

A Corolla will do 8.1 x 10^13 'damage points'
A light model 3, 1.5 x10^14 'damage points'
And a heavy model 3, 2.6x10^14

So moving to EV vehicles would move the damage done by the average commuter by an order of magnitude.

There are of course much heavier vehicles on the road as well, such as a standard empty garbage truck weights around 33k pounds and will do 1.2 x 10^18 damage points. So significantly more wear per mile traveled, but there are also far more vehicle miles traveled by those lighter class vehicles as well.

EV are probably still a net positive, but the real solution is to stop designing our cities and transportation systems exclusively around low occupancy vehicles. Walking, biking, and transit, also need to.be options for getting around.

> A Postgres `db.m6g.large` (the cheapest non-burstable instance) runs $114/month for a single AZ, and that's not counting storage or bandwidth. A `db.t4g.medium` runs $47/month, again, not counting storage or bandwidth.

This is why numbers do not stack up in the calculations – the premise that the DB has to be provisioned is not the correct one to start off with.

The right way of cooking RDS in AWS is to go serverless from the start and configure the number of DCU's, e.g. 1 to N. That way it will be even cheaper than the originally quoted $200.

Generally speaking, there is absolutely no need for anything to be provisioned at a fixed compute capacity in AWS unless there is a very specific or an edge case that, likewise, warrants a provisioned instance of something.

Other countries are not going to let the USA determine domestic tax policies.

If they did remove VAT from items imported from the United States it would lead to the absurd situation where a US merchant could import an item from Germany without VAT and then sell it to consumers in Germany without VAT undercutting German retailers and denying the German government their consumption tax revenue

Meanwhile Denver won it all with some of the lowest volume of threes in the league.
Yes, you are indeed repeating yourself. Unfortunately, that does not make what you are saying more right.

VAT countries export VAT free. Sales tax countries export sales tax free.

When you import something to a VAT country, the end consumer has to pay VAT. When you import something to a sales tax country, the end consumer has to pay sales tax.

Maybe we can make some progress if you could explain how these situations are not completely analogous, and what precisely is it that gives VAT countries an unfair advantage?

> People vote for a President with certain values and they follow those. It’s how it’s supposed to work.

That is not according to the Constitution. The President's role is to faithfully implement the laws. All of them, including the ones he and his voters don't like. He doesn't get to declare laws null and void by not enforcing them. For instance, if voters elect a racist, that doesn't mean it's legal for POTUS to then not enforce civil rights laws.

Yeah this is what I meant as well. Though I'd also argue that on the job returning is essential too. Which should come through multiple avenues.

I think the advantage these guys have is that when they do a shit job it's more noticeable. Not only to the builders but anyone else. Unfortunately we work with high abstractions but high skill is the main reason we get big bucks. Unfortunately I think this makes it harder for managers to differentiate high quality from shit. So they'd rather get shit fast than quality a tad slower because all they can differentiate is time. But they don't see the how this is so costly since everything has to be done at least thrice

The "Jellyfin for Kodi" plugin (not Jellycon!) supports a "native path" streaming mode that just directly passes the raw video file to Kodi, avoiding Jellyfin's transcoding entirely. I've never used it with BDMV's, but it does work with other formats Jellyfin can't transcode properly like Dolby Vision.

Also, if you do ever want to remux those discs, mkv does support both those features now (player support is lacking though). You'll want to look for "3D MVC" support, and including 2 video tracks in one mkv is no problem.

I knew about OP's problem for years with discord's piece of shit webapp being the most egregious offender. For my system the sound falls into a low power state and there's an audible pop/click when something wakes it up. Even with the tab silenced and all notifications turned off it would still periodically do this. Other sites that used WebRTC had same problem but not as frequent. I think I worked around the issue eventually by disabling the automatic low power state at the expense of some additional battery consumption.
This is an answer for your above comment because HN has a timer delay on responding.

You have a common argument

Because VAT was already collected during production, then VAT refunds remove that embedded tax cost. U.S. sales tax is only applied at final sale. There is no sales tax in production for EU

Even though VAT refunds seem analogous to US sales tax exemptions, the key difference is that VAT refunds remove tax burdens from exports in a way that US sales tax exemptions do not

As much as I would like to suspect that "Edward Helmore" might have some background in Civil Engineering or statecraft more generally, it seems he's just a New York-based author who writes for a British publication, maybe he's not the best to defer for about the consequences of this area...? I mean, it's not joke, people lose homes in fires and mudslides, and it's not like Trump doesn't know this, but if the current regime isn't optimally preventing or responding to these, then your options are pretty much to just try again.
I'm primarily responding with skepticism to JumpCriscross about humans minimizing "sentient suffering" — which would be measured by the aggregate of total suffering inflicted by all members of a species.

The extremes contribute the most in the ledger of agonies, but I don't think they are the most relevant — rather I fault human nature for tending to produce extremes. Is it Vladimir Putin who is personally responsible for all the suffering inflicted by the Russian state, or can we say that the environment from which Putin emerged played a role?

Thanks to their reasoning abilities, humans have enormous capability to inflict violence and suffering, which is not matched by a commensurate empathy which would dissuade violence.

This isn't the case for Ada on GCC, so the support is there, it just hasn't been extended to C:

> The use of trampolines requires an executable stack, which is a security risk. To avoid this problem, GCC also supports another strategy: using descriptors for nested functions. Under this model, taking the address of a nested function results in a pointer to a non-executable function descriptor object. Initializing the static chain from the descriptor is handled at indirect call sites.

> On some targets, including HPPA and IA-64, function descriptors may be mandated by the ABI or be otherwise handled in a target-specific way by the back end in its code generation strategy for indirect calls. GCC also provides its own generic descriptor implementation to support the -fno-trampolines option. In this case runtime detection of function descriptors at indirect call sites relies on descriptor pointers being tagged with a bit that is never set in bare function addresses. Since GCC’s generic function descriptors are not ABI-compliant, this option is typically used only on a per-language basis (notably by Ada) or when it can otherwise be applied to the whole program.

> For languages other than Ada, the -ftrampolines and -fno-trampolines options currently have no effect, and trampolines are always generated on platforms that need them for nested functions.

> If your premise above is true, then we'd expect to see similar sorts of variations in the various fonts derived from drafting style

If you look at the photos in the article, there are a lot of variations! For example, in the article, if you look at the first two sets of photos of keyboards, you see a variety of shapes, especially visible with the 6s/9s, 0s, Rs, Ss, etc. And then in the next set of photos (the ones with a selection of plaques), you again see a collection of various letter shapes - look at the varying shapes of Gs, Ss, etc. This repeats throughout, when you look at the random assortments of plates and signage.

Later on, after he discusses ANSI and DIN standards, the author goes on to say:

> In the regulatory space, the U.S. military canonized Gorton in 1968 as a standard called MIL-SPEC-33558 for aircraft and other equipment dials, cancelled it in 1998… then brought it back again in 2007.

Except that the specimens he shows right below, of ANSI Y14 and MS 33558 (and whatever the third one is), are very different from Gorton and even from each other - just look at those letter forms. Which makes sense, as their lineage is _not_ from Gorton, but from traditional lettering.

So that's what I mean - it's not that Gorton _specifically_ is everywhere, it's just that draftman's lettering style is everywhere, and in many variants, including the very popular Gorton one.
