If I have multiple choices that are equivalent then I will use other criterias like "Am I giving money to nazis?"
The richer Elon Musk gets, the more he (appears) to use that wealth to skew politics towards anti-"eco" policies. By giving Trump an unprecedented $250 million during the 2024 election, he may have even been the deciding factor in funding some of the advertising that led people to decide to vote Trump, or to stay home instead of vote for Harris.

And needless to say, Trump's policies on the environment ("drill baby drill") don't exactly align with the hippie stereotype of electric car buyers ("no more oil").
Do you think many people opposing the Nazis were buying VWs during the war?

The UK has a particularly weird history with fibre; in particular it's one of the few places where G.Fast (ie super-VDSL; 500Mbit-1Gbit/sec over copper telephone line) saw significant rollout.

The UK's finally rolling out FTTH with fairly universal targets, but it did have an unusually messy journey there, arguably partially due to BT refusing to let FTTC die.

Places also provide facade to some social networks. They can keep relatives having a job, can act like a store front for doing whatever deal.

Paris is a special case - you've got a great metro and everywhere is close to a station :)

Perhaps distance to a non-metro station (eg a TER "mainline" station like Gare du Nord) would give more representative results?

close, but of course far more complex, Wolves are
savy negotiators, highly social, and often (not always) fun loving, the variations in personality
amongst them is large.Wolves team up with Ravens, another species with complex behaviors, ravens work as airial spoters, and wolves take out the targeted prey, with both sharing the kill, in exceptionaly close quarters, it's easy to see that
those roles could change, with humans around, and
there is a limited window to prepare and consume, and drag off a large kill, before it atracts an apex preditor, or just a huge flock of hungry birds, that can decimate an untended carcas in miniuts.So teaming up, rather than dependency, is the most likely begining.

Even if the insanity ends in four years (which is starting to seem increasingly unlikely tbh, does anyone still believe next elections will be smooth and fair?), the US will be considered an unreliable partner for much longer.

A reputation of reliability explicitly means not pulling tricks like these. If you do, it means you're unreliable.
Ford is based though. I mean the CEO said publicly (on a podcast ) that the Xiaomi Car is better then anything they've ever produced.

Now that's a statement! (also the Xiaomi Car has massively under specced breaks. But that's hard to notice as a normal driver as he is)

They're invalid states inside the USB device, not inside the driver code. So nothing you do to the driver code can make them unrepresentable. The best you can do is avoid frobbing the device in the problematic ways.

As european and a driver of a model 3, I would also not consider buying a tesla again. It's not the car, it has some flaws, I never bought into the FSD bullshit and basically knew what I was going into. But now it more and more feels like driving a car with a huge swastika sticker on it, and I don't see that going away in the foreseeable future.

FTTH is extremely expensive to _install_, but once it's there it's pretty cheap to maintain compared to copper.
He's a co-president with Trump recently forbidding mentioning climate change in documents, destroying ecology research, pushing energy policy EO supporting fossil fuel producers, and dumping federal EVs and existing chargers in the buildings. It looks like he just cares about the profit from EVs and completely disregards the environment part.
Yes. I don’t really understand the “you will be replaced” mentality. I do things because I like doing them not because they have some optimum economic value.

Like read the ad copy of old apple or HP or xerox and see how they wanted to help make tools that help you think. Today everyone wants to make tools that help you make money. I just don’t see why my life needs to be optimised for making money compared to engaging in interesting ideas and creating peace and happiness in the space around me.

After using delta for a while, I'm going back to the regular diff view... it's not that it isn't good, but I'm constantly copying diffs (yes, I know I can generate patches) and the pretty output breaks that workflow.

Because he forwards political causes in the US and abroad that are vehemently anti-global warming and anti environmental protection in general (among other things...). This will likely more than undo any contributions he's theoretically made.
Yes - Tesla seem to make very big changes under the hood that aren't obvious from outside so you don't realise they're actually refreshing the models. For example at a refresh of the Y they changed it so that the whole floor was battery and the seats etc bolted to that. Massive castings come and go. Pretty huge updates.
So I spoke to one of the contributors of Tauri who got back to me with the following response:
"
It's not a thing tauri controls and the telemetry settings are an operating system setting since you are running windows this kind of telemetry is not completely avoidable."

He also kindly pointed to this GH Issue which discusses your privacy concern:
https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback/issues/105...

This quote from the issue stood out in particular:
"
WebView2 is considered a Windows component, and the data collection consent is governed by Windows Diagnostic setting on Windows 10 as a centralized switch.

End users are empowered to control the data collection of WebView2 and can do so via toggling the Windows Diagnostic setting on Windows 10. This is also what the Edge browser does. On Windows 7/8.1, because there is no Windows Diagnostic setting, we treat this as no consent for optional data. There is very limited required data that the OS always collects, unless you're on some specific SKUs. Developers are definitely welcomed to convey that to their end users and ask them to use the OS toggle.
"

I've been meaning to move away from Tauri + WebView2, this might be the best call to make (not only for this reason of course)
They're to protect Europe's car manufacturing industry, which is a significant industry which directly and indirectly employs a lot of people and circulates a lot of money. Part of that industry is green technology, which is exactly what Europe needs to build up. Europe has a challenge in that it wants to keep local manufacturing industries but also make sure that they are environmentally and socially responsible, which costs a lot more than other countries without those concerns and cheaper costs. I'm no fan of the ridiculous trade wars but totally free trade hasn't proved to be an outright success. I know the playing fields aren't level but I don't know what the sensible middle ground solution is.
This is why I did speak up: "softbank" hides "ARM ISA" from the people unaware of this.

Is that still the stereotype? This might depend on where you are (I am in the UK) but my stereotype of EV buyers is affluent with a tilt to urban.

Seeing as the difference was 1.89%, even marginally less effective campaigning would've doubtless resulted in a vote to remain in the EU.
Fingerprinting is terrifying. That a device (and therefore a specific person) can be reliably identified across all sites and across time is a major failure of browser design.
For me it's also the joy of working with a deterministic system.
I have seen the same in Sri Lanka. It was not as bad in my day and I was mostly educated in Britain.

Sadly, now the UK is becoming more like that. Schools are judged by league tables based on exam and test results. My daughter's sixth form college (school for 16 to 18 year olds) has deteriorated quite a bit since her older sister went there five years ago and its pretty clear to me that is the cause. A lot of other schools seem to be the same or worse.

In France, Tesla Model Y is -57% (compared to Jan '24) at 640 units in January, while other brands are growing at 2813 (Renault 5), 1548 (Citroen E C3), 1177 (Renault Scenic), 762 (Peugeot 3008), among others.

As a car enthusiast, I know that the history of VW is nuanced. And you should know that also.

Right now, with Tesla, there is no nuance. It's as clear day. A meme-lord douche is currently CEO and I absolutely detest what he currently stands for. When I see a Tesla, I see said douche sieg heiling.
> only charge the battery when braking

No, good hybrid drivetrains charge the battery during normal driving not just breaking. It saves gas by avoiding the least efficient RPM ranges of the engine.

~80%(battery & conversion losses) of 35% fuel efficiency easily beats 100% of 10% fuel efficiency. Using a 200HP engine to creep around a flat parking lot or run the AC while waiting etc is simply inherently inefficient so they turn the engine off. As a bonus you get that quick EV acceleration without an oversized engine that’s rarely operating efficiently.

As to emissions from car manufacturing, don’t ignore emissions from gasoline manufacturing. People get these comparisons wildly wrong by only looking at tailpipe emissions and ignoring upstream extraction, refining, and transportation emissions over the 25+ lifetime of an average car.
"Luxury fruits" lol way to go framing eating fruit as negatively as possible. Not that I have qualms with what you say otherwise.
Then the obvious solution is to put solar panels over parking spots at work. Doesn't need to be that much power, 1-2kW is enough if the car sits there all day (for typical distances people commute with cars)
>Just a reminder: People supporting Elon do not typically post here or on reddit.

Well the US have been very clearly saying that NATO is pretty much dead.

And NATO-countries are very much considering the US an unreliable partner. Also it's interesting that you wrote "partner": 2 months ago people would have said "allies", now it's "unreliable partner".
By your own moral compass of course. There is no such thing as objective good or objective bad, it's all in the eye of the beholder. Surely you would've covered this in literature class in your youth? Likewise, me thinking someone is a bad person doesn't mean it's some objective and universal truth. It's literally, like, my opinion, man.
Entirely possible. Have you got any numbers and real world examples? Growth? Profits? Actual quantified productivity gains?

The nuance your 'gotcha' scenario miss is that displacing fiverr, speeding up small side project, making scripts fo non-SWE, creating boilerplate, etc is not the trillions of dollars disruption that is needed by now.

I wouldn't say Jim Farley (Ford CEO) is a normal driver; he races vintage cars, modern Mustangs and other things too.
Maybe some examples would clarify your intent, because all the candidate interpretations I can think of are absurd.

The sin() function in the C standard library covers 2⁶⁴ cases, because it takes one argument which is, on most platforms, 64 bits. Are you suggesting that it should be separated into 2⁶⁰ separate functions?

If you're saying you should pass in boolean and enum parameters to tell a subroutine or class which of your 5–20 use cases the caller needs? I couldn't disagree more. Make them separate subroutines or classes.

If you have 5–20 lines of code in a subroutine, but no conditionals or possibly-zero-iteration loops, those lines of code are all the same case. The subroutine doesn't run some of them in some cases and others in other cases.
> Which is odd as it directly goes against his own interests.

His recent interest is power. He can use that for profit later in many different ways - he's working on firing people who wanted to investigate his idea of using X as a payment network, for example.
Very broadly speaking, I think it's going to have the same impact as search engines had where productivity increases but understanding decreases.

Obviously it wasn't a Hitler Salute. Are you cross-trolling from reddit, or associated with a competitor EV brand? Both?

The whole point behind any salute is clear communication and intent. It wouldn't make sense to back-pedal a nazi salute.

Americans fought the Nazis and lost 400k young men. If you honestly think a leading American businessman or politician would align with Hitler ideology and try to pump up the crowd using a nazi salute, I would suggest taking a vacation because your judgement is seriously impaired.
In Ireland in the early noughties there was an initiative to roll out universal rural broadband (previously, apart from very small WISP operators, affordable broadband (by noughties standards) was only really available if you were within ADSL-range of a telephone exchange). In practice this ended up with the state spending huge amounts of money subsidising point-to-point WISPs, terrestrial cellular solutions, and, where unavoidable, satellite.

Of course none of this was remotely good enough long-term, and the _current_ strategy is to just roll out fibre everywhere. The US (or at least this particular programme) is wise to start with fibre; you'll only end up there anyway. Money spent on gap-filling half-measures like terrestrial or satellite cellular is money wasted.
Ask HN: When and why did Git config change from –list to list?
Just curious, as like most people I'm far too busy to study the release notes of every version update of every tool I regularly use. However it seems like quite a significant UX (or DX?) change to deprecate "git config --list" in favour of "git config list". I'm sure there are reasons for this, the subcommand approach is probably easier for newbies to learn than the flag-style UX, and it certainly makes the docs easier to read if you've never used git before and are learning it for the first time.

However I just stumbled across this change by chance when searching for the syntax and found that the docs page [0] does absolutely nothing to highlight the fact that this has changed and so seems to contradict every other blog post and article in the entire WWW that tells you to use --list.

For a few minutes I thought I was going insane. Eventually, scrolling down a lot, I found the words "DEPRECATED MODES: The following modes have been deprecated in favor of subcommands. It is recommended to migrate to the new syntax."

Seriously, who thinks like this? Who has such contempt for their users that they would change the UX of a decades-old tool used by millions and not bother to put a warning at the top of the current doc page along the lines of "hey guys, we just made a major change here, so don't worry if all the other websites out there seem to contradict this, click here to read more about the change and the reasons behind it..." ?

Simply determining the value of something is difficult. This is a big part of why communism didn't work -- it's impossible for central planners, however wise, to figure out. The communists piggybacked on price signals from other countries but that's not a great substitute for ones own market generating the price signals.

Absent price signals, determinations of value inevitably get corrupted by other interests. Look at the long, sorry history of NASA's manned space program. Value there has become "does this deliver $$$ to my district".
Also, the decimal ASCII code for capital letter X is 88, and Musk likes to quote the infamous “14 words” slightly paraphrased.
