> going back on their promise of not selling users' data

Given that Google's CEO previously testified before Congress that the company wouldn't use information gleaned from your use of Google services to build out your advertising profile, I don't see "broken privacy promises" as a differentiation between Google and Mozilla.

Especially since Mozilla's post, linked above, says that their legal team now interprets selling ads as technicslly selling personal data in some jurisdictions.

They do have ads on new tabs, even if you can turn that off.

Again, I'm not seeing any reason not to switch to a browser where effective ad blocking will still work.
> I think America in its best expression is an amalgamation of many different backgrounds and attitudes.

In my view, the best expression of America is somewhere like Iowa--a flat society with intense, local self-governance. In every multicultural society, the democratic rapport that people have with each other ends up being replaced with relationships mediated by an increasingly large and bureaucratic government that can reconcile the conflicting cultures and interests. Democracy is reduced to mere voting.

> America really is at a fork in the road. In one world, they abandon all hopes of being an empire, becoming a regional power with highly protectionist economics

Seems like the current choice is to be highly protectionist, not sure if it means becoming a regional power.

Yeah if I implemented my manager's ideas, I'd be the one fixing them too. No thanks - if I have to deal with the problems, I'll decide the solutions too.
If you’re not being facetious, a unit of currency, minted out of metals of varying preciousness throughout the ages in the shape of a circle, usually imprinted with the monarch or head of state on one side and a symbol on the other.

If you’re being facetious, you’re probably aware that “coin-op” refers to any simply-operated payment terminal, as you’d find in a do-it-yourself car wash or parking meter (that doesn’t rely on some stupid phone app). In the past, you inserted the aforementioned coins into a slot, which it counted and provided you with some amount of time of use based on the amount you insert (coin op = coin operated). Nowadays, while there are still coin-op terminals (even in the western world!) they’re being replaced more and more by a pin-pad for processing credit- or debit-card transactions.

These are much preferable to having to use a website or an app, make an account, verify your account, add you personal information, add your vehicle and plate information, add your credit card information, etc. for each different network you’re trying to use, be it parking, car washing, or in this case, car charging. In the past (or present, for the majority of the population), you could drive up to a gas station, pay with some form of currency or card, and receive fuel. The parent was suggestion that maybe, people don’t want to have to deal with more complexity than that while charging their vehicles, especially when travelling to different cities/counties/countries, which are the most likely times they would need to use not-at-home charging (and also the most likely times they’d encounter a new network, and have to go through the rigamarole of new app/website, account, details, etc). By just putting a coin-op (or if you insist on pedantic precision, pin-pad-op) receptacle, someone can pull up, plug in, pay, and be on their way in 30 seconds or less.

Why reinvent the wheel and do anything else, which would take more effort in the best case scenario? If you insist on some godforsaken phone app, make that an option, but I imagine you’ll find most people won’t use it unless forced to.
You're 5 point comment is entirely based on the claim that someone included the entire world for hating the US ( well, Trump)

Which is ridiculous because that's not even what was said.

As we said, go check up on your non American friends to see what the world outside of the US thinks about Trump and his threats.
Aw, give him a break. Neither do OLED tv reviews, but I do not see everyone piling on them "well, technically the contrast isn't inf because the screen is scattering the ambient light"

> As he points out: it would be terrible! We’d lose the intuitive understanding of how to use the gears to solve any situation we encounter. Which mode do you use for gravel + downhill?

I have no idea, actually, what gears I should use for gravel + downhill, which is surprising since about 6 years ago I biked from Pittsburgh to DC, which had a fairly long downhill section. I remember mostly coasting on that section. I might've stopped a few times to make sure my brakes could cool down. I don't think there is a wrong gear on a bicycle when coasting down on gravel?

Perhaps I am the user who does need a nightmare bicycle with a gravel + downhill button.
See the reason why I have a problem with these analysts is because I don't think that China is an export-oriented country at all: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_exports_p...

China exports, per capita, around as much as Tunisia where I am from. It does, however, have a way higher gdp per capita. Per capita, China ranks at 104 far from most developed and developing countries. For some Chinese, exports are their bread and butter but for most Chinese, they are only dealing locally.

This does, in some opinions, explain the surge in their exports. As their internal market (which is their primary market) slowed down, they turned to exports. This might suggest that something is wrong with their economy, however: 1. it's not clear if it is as bad as the 2008 crisis in the US. and 2. the 2008 crisis was bad but not the end of the world. The US had a rather good decade afterward.

BlackRock to buy Hong Kong firm's Panama Canal port stake amid Trump pressure
> NIO might do it

The main obstacle is battery swap is capex heavy, hence PRC might do it, but most other places, less likely. It's pretty easy to extrapolate PRC auto parking / self driving cars sneaking out during low congestion to hit their battery swap queue. But that is a fairly significant logistics / infra issue when most countries would be lucky to get sufficient fast charging piles in place. Battery volume is probably not an issue since batteries will be rentals for minimum XYZ capacity. And algo might eventually bid for price, i.e. discount rental for partial charge if it means your car go for a swap by itself a couple days earlier.
>It takes a while to get all the surveys and permits.

Yes, that's exactly the problem, an over regulated permitting regime. If we are in a climate emergency then we should treat it as such, which means that if the Federal government can't overrule local permitting restrictions, they should prioritize funding to states that are willing to relax permitting requirements and get shovels in the ground.
Where did you hear that? You can buy replacement print heads for all cartridge-less printers I've ever worked with, including my ET-8550.

The difference is that they're purchased separately from the ink, so as long as the original one works you can continue to use it no matter how much ink you go through.
Will do! :D

I did, a quick thought, regarding https://github.com/docandrew/SPARKTLS: you might find https://github.com/Componolit/libsparkcrypto useful, too, if you have not already.

Nice projects BTW!
> that can be field replaced

Incredibly dangerous to put naked electrical connectors right next to something flammable that you can't even extinguish.
Google's goal is to make good products. That will enable making money. A positive externality of trying to create a good product is creating technologies such as fuchsia. I don't think there is more to it beyond that. If it's more complicated than that, that would probably be news to most people working on Fuchsia.
No thank you. All of the worst managers I've worked with know just enough to offer annoying suggestions but not enough to understand why it doesn't work (usually workplace politics). Sometimes I can't "just" do anything. The best ones I've worked with used to code 5+ years ago.

I don't want to spend my time managing my manager. He thinks I'm an idiot because I can't follow his simple instructions and I think he's naive and ready to fire me. Bad for all of us!
Tesla took over a decade before they open-sourced their supercharger standards.

From Tesla's own website: "NACS was originally developed by Tesla, deployed in 2012 with the first Supercharger and Model S vehicle and eventually published by Tesla in 2022 with the goal of industry-wide adoption."

Just like examples in the post it self, sure you can get better fast, but if no one cares why bother? Oh you got a bit better ELO in chess, nice, what now? Now your average friends don’t want to play you and you aren’t good enough to beat anyone at the chess club. So either you quit or you have to dedicate yourself.

Same with the shooter game. Do you really want to play a video game competitively? If yea then go ahead but you need to do more than just play to get good which again probably means switching friend circles
Funny that, I was looking recently for a small, local smtp server to get notifications from my printer and other stuff and... there isn't. All you get are the ginormous ones with decades of crud attached.

So I ended up writing my own of course; no need for all the fancy features, just PLEASE let me receive email over SMTP and deliver them locally with 'dma'. Pfew.
So ancient Egypt had more modern units than today's US. No surprise there.
> After an earlier version of this story published, the “non-core” properties was updated to exclude all Washington buildings and dozens in Maryland in Virginia that were previously included. The White House did not respond to a request for comment about why the changes were made.

The initial list included a bunch of HQ buildings that made no sense to sell. For example the Department of Justice is always going to need a headquarters and it should always be within the District of Columbia to exclude state interference.

And it's not like tons of DC commercial real estate companies are flush with capital to buy old federal buildings downtown right now.
I can't help but wonder while reading the article: why didn't this win in the market? As the author mentioned, the tech was there with the prototypes they built over 20 years ago. Why did Tesla and every other electric car manufacturer decide to go in a different direction?
It also didn't compare the capital costs to the costs of building an ICE refuelling station.

What is the cost of the tanks, fuel pumps, calibration, etc? Including the costs of rehabilitation of the ground from fuel contamination over the lifetime of the infrastructure as well?

That's what needs to be compared, not the current capital costs of infrastructure that is only just been sufficiently standardized and regulated to be able to be rolled out for all EVs, not just one brand or another.
One of the cuts is the entirety of 538. Sad to see it go, but it’s clearly been inevitable with how ABC has been treating them.

>As of July 2024, eight states had opened their first NEVI-funded stations, totaling 61 ports, and powered thousands of charging sessions.

That's not good for a law that was ratified in November of 2021. It might be about par for the course for the federal government, but that's the problem.
This doesn't solve fundamental problems with how America has built its charging infrastructure.

We never should have placed hardwired cables on the L2 or L3 chargers. The CCS plugs are broken about 50% of the time? It's a joke.

Rented an EV in Europe... the cable is in the trunk! You own it. Take it out, plug it into the charger, plug it into your car.

Having a bad day? Drive over the plug? Smash it with a hammer? Don't know how plugs work so you tried to kick it off your car? No problem, go buy yourself a new one. The charger still works for everyone else.

The charger HW can be agnostic. Car manufacturers can make up whatever crazy plug they want for their car, just provide the cable.

Tesla wants a 1" cable? No problem!

You want a 300' cable? Do it!

1. no 2fa in the webmail yet. work is currently underway at the ietf for standardizing chained SASL (auth) mechanisms, and passkeys. i want to look at implementing passkeys already for the web interfaces, but there is much more on the todo-list...
2. i as shown by yamrzou, i don't think so. SASL auth really just uses 1 auth mechanism at the moment. i think there is also standardiziation work underway for password+totp sasl authentication. but clients (like thunderbird) would still have to implement it before it's useful. there may be a trick to get 2fa-like authentication now, using both TLS client cert authentication (mox supports this based on public key identification, no other properties of certs) and a IMAP/SMTP-level SASL authentication.
3. no, but this is interesting. what kind of rules would you set? rules to match specific message headers/content that identify a message a phishing and reject it? for when attackers send the same message to many employees? do you need to remove messages from their inboxes after it has been delivered (assuming all employees would get the email at around the same time)?
4. no, but i've considered adding it. it should be very simple to add. and it's much better than mail servers modifying the message content to add messages like that.
The movement has been towards making batteries structurally integral to the vehicle to save weight in the frame.
In practice, many act as an intermediary who can take the credit for the wins while passing down blame for the misses.

It's not a good leadership trait but it's an effective career advancing move.

The entire list on the post reeks of aspirational intermediary that doesn't actually do any of those things as effectively as empowered project/team leads who do contribute to the product. It's fluff and very easy fluff to remove without feeling pain. Of course, mediocre teams will have mediocre developers who won't want responsabilty and will benefit from intermediary "bossy" managers.

Battery swapping isn't some top-down authoritarian decision made by the CCP and forced into the Chinese society.

Nio is just a company that's providing a much needed solution to this problem.
I tried for several years. There where to many issues. Even a perfectly configured mail server landed in spam folders of smaller providers. Had to constantly whitelist my server manually with the big providers. For 1-8 dollars a month, it was simply not worth it for me. Switch to encrypted mails where privacy matters. It is not like my emails land on private servers anyway, so the privacy aspect is more of a symbolic gesture than a real thing.
Trying to avoid all suffering is a bleak outlook on life.
It is actually practical position for an automated swap. You drive to the position, the door on the ground open, the robot pulls the old battery and installs the new one, no hassle.
Yes, that is a neat trick.

> As of July 2024, eight states had opened their first NEVI-funded stations, totaling 61 ports, and powered thousands of charging sessions.

As of FY 2024, $2.385 billion had been allocated from the funding. For 61 ports across 4 (four) charging locations. $39M PER PORT.

When cars where new they didn't go very fast and ICE efficiency was very bad. It just turned out that it's a lot easier to improve ICE power output and tank size than to improve batteries.

I dearly remember setting up NetBSD on various sparc stations and ultra sparcs (a II, and an Ultra 60) and running them alongside a set of various other RISCs and CISCs of late 90s. Based on the paper 'attack of the lemmings' (IIRC) by matthias something (IIRC), I wanted to create a 'how to portably code C' course that would run with just the basic netbsd tools - compiler, editor, test system, make, ... - write once, commit, have the whole weird-ass machine park response to the unit test for a given exercise. Sadly never made it happen fully.
Still - NetBSD! fun times, great documentation and such a knowledgeable crowd! Enjoy the voyage!
