There were issues with charging, motor driving, and batteries.

For converting from ac to dc for charging you had either a dc generator or old school selenium rectifiers or vacuum tubes ones. I used to have an old 60's battery charger with selenium rectifier. First car I drove had a DC generator. So wasn't until the 70's you got cheap high quality rectifiers and thyristors.

When I started my career in the 80's it was all coming together. Robust power electronics shows up then. By the end of the decade inverter controllers for motors were becoming common. And the mid 90's is when Toyota starts working on their hybrid drive. The battery they used was a nicad battery.

And then there are batteries. Before 1980 or so you're options were lead acid or nicad. The former have low energy density and the max output current was low. Nicads were expensive and also low capacity, but had higher output per weight. Which is why the Prius and the EV1 used them.

Late 80's I got a hold of some lithium primary cells they could put out a few amps at 4.1V. I did a calculation if you put 5000 of them at $10 each into an EV the battery would weigh 600lbs and put out about 250 hp. Weeee! And at $15 each the battery would cost $75k. Cause primary batteries it's $250/mile. 1 years later you had rechargeables with similar specs and cheaper.

I feel that in the 1910-20s when gasoline won the electric technology just wasn't there. People wanted electric cars to succeed buy the economics and performance wasn't there.
When were markets run by PHDs and Nobel laurates?

They were always run by politicians, oligarchs, capitalists and interest groups.
I have Lenovo ThinkPad T14s AMD, which always goes to sleep and wakes up just fine. Bluetooth works, it's fast, quiet and has a long battery life.

AND I can use Linux, which is a dealbreaker for me as my favorite operating system.
> If trade truly ends, I suspect it might end in a hot war

Have two nuclear powers ever gone to war directly?

I'm pretty sure it isn't going to happen because ultimately the leadership on both sides would be assured of being vaporized, and no leader on either side has the guts to actually die in a conflict (especially where there could very likely be no real winner, and no glory, at all).

As long as that holds, we're actually pretty fortunate in that we avoid these stupid types of wars, and we're forced into these frustrating (for chest-beating tough guys) economic rivalries instead.

I am pretty sure dtach is in Homebrew, but maybe you specifically like the exact set of tradeoffs from shpool.
the backup mx shouldn't have any special delivery privileges. when the primary mx comes back online, the backup should deliver to that rather than trying to deliver anything itself. this allows those spam checks which will still work to benefit from the normal delivery path.

you can have several hosts with the same MX priority, and only spin up actual service when necessary. given modern health check tools and raft-consensus filesystems, it's very possible to build a robuse mail network on the cheap.
EVs emit less carbon even when powered by a fossil fuel dominated grid. The power plant is more efficient than your car, and often uses LNG rather than petrol or diesel, and there are still some renewables in almost any grid. In addition, air pollution close to where you live will be lower. In addition, the grid can be decarbonised over time and your car will become greener as it does.

He equates protectionism with stagnation, being boring, the road to poverty, socialism, etc. Yet, the US was very protectionist during it's accent to becoming the world's largest economy. The free market zealotry came later.

Is there a name for this argumentation "there are three options 2 are obvious nonsense so whatever i dream up in the third one must be true"? Kind of like no true scotsman...

Back in the 90ies, in "middle school", we did the layout in our school newspaper with that. It made me even considering a DTP career.

I'm not convinced that software is really intrinsically valuable. We write it to help us make and deliver things that are actually valuable, which are physical goods. The whole service sector would be nothing without the physical. Finance doesn't exist just to see numbers changing on a screen. It's there so we can buy food after we retire etc.

Maybe games are truly software that isn't tied to anything physical. I can't think of much else, though. Can you?
The executive made an executive decision to be the final arbiter of facts.
Extra whitespace to put the `cond` clauses in columns can make it even more clear, for "visual" looking at code, rather than only "verbal":

(define (member? item set)
(cond ((null? set) #f)
((equal? item (car set)) #t)
(else (member? item (cdr set)))))

For bonus points, line up the key variable in the clauses, and it's easier to see visually that the `cond` is about that one variable:

(define (member? item set)
(cond ((null? set) #f)
((equal? (car set) item) #t)
(else (member? item (cdr set)))))

Which accidentally also lines up with one of the procedure's arguments, though I didn't intend that one, but you could double down on that:

(define (member? item set)
(cond ((null? set) #f)
((equal? item (car set)) #t)
(else (member? item (cdr set)))))

This isn't some deep thing; just a little example of how sometimes whitespace, other than just indenting at the beginning of the line, helps to exposure some of the structure visually.
No, these companies are massively scaled now. The only way you could sell domain names is to run a web-host and then sell domain names combined with other services.

You could pretty easily get a job with an existing registrar though.

The gold standard always fails. Whatever gold standard is established in history, it is inexorably debased.

The conceptual flaw with gold is that it is a desperate attempt to grasp at an absolute, because absolutes feel warm and fuzzy. Nothing is absolute in an economy. The relative value of everything changes constantly and trying to create an artificial peg to gold doesn't achieve anything useful.

In historical terms, by any measure you choose (monthly salary, purchasing power, etc.) gold is worth roughly 1/10th what it used to be worth a millennia ago and prior.

Adjusted for inflation, over the last 100 years or so, the value of gold has remained roughly constant in terms of salary and purchasing power.
He contradicts himself. Europe, in particular Spain, France and Germany are still manufacturing goods. And yet their economies are stagnant. Because those industries have seen no growth for decades already.

Can anyone provide some information on the differences between tmux and screen? Are there significant features missing from one or the other? The more "objective" (or unbiased) the better. As an analogy, I know of some features available in neovim not available on vim; they are not important for me, so I continue to use vim. On the other hand, the vim features not available in vi made me switch.

I use screen, but whatever I have read till now on comparison seems to point more to personal preferences.
Not surprised. Office 2016 is basically the "last" version of Microsoft Office. All the O365 stuff is pretty much regressive feature simplification over the top of it and in some cases abhorrent user hostile garbage (new outlook).

O365 pretty much killed Office for us. We barely use it in house now. At best it's hosted email. We don't even use the calendar / contact stuff as it doesn't sync with any phones properly. Apple won there by a mile. If only they did an enterprise iCloud+ with custom domain we'd just stop paying for O365 I suspect other than for a couple of Excel die hards.

Sure, but you know what you should do if you were trying to completely destroy the US? Side with Russia against our allies, put up huge trade barriers on our neighbours, torch the rules based order, look at the world as split into many hemispheres of influence, unpick all the institutions that protect the government and the US citizens from scams and replace them with the richest man in the world, stand down retaliatory measures against cyber threats, shake down European democracies you were protecting for mineral deals, undermine the very idea of truth itself and flood the zone with shit.

You can absolutely forget competing with China under these circumstances, their system is starting to look better than the US will after another 1416 days of this.
Money buys you freedom to live you life anywhere you want, and do whatever you want. Do you think grinding away for low pay until your mid 60s, only to end up facing a collapsing pension system in your final years with little savings is the best way to spend your time on earth?

Also how can a person that hasn't experienced the economic freedom the US provides to top talent accurately judge if their country of choice is better? I would like to see the statistics on SWEs that got wealthy in America, that regret moving to the states and would prefer to revert all those years.

(I've lived in Europe for most of my life by the way. Lots of good places to retire, but mostly poor choices for spending my productive years there.)
I'm in the process of reading the PDF but if anyone has finished it, is there an implementation of this running somewhere? Is it testable now?
> there is more to an economy than manufacturing

And what would that be? "Services"? The author tried to explain how that is basically a scam.

And, getting back to our present, hobbes-ian world, services won't help you put tanks on the ground and airplanes in the air in the event of a grand war, you need a pretty solid manufacturing base to back it up, you need to be the "arsenal of democracy".

Pencil Lead 101: Navigating the World of Graphite Hardness and Grades
How is "Baumol effect" different from supply and demand for any limited resource?

Let's say that some new use for copper is discovered, that drastically increases the demand for copper. The cost of existing items that use copper is going to go up, even if those items are no more productive than they used to be, because the new items are now in high demand.

You can see this effect in real life with GPUs; it's much more expensive to buy a gaming graphics card today than it was a decade ago, because GPUs are in high demand for other applications.

So, increasing the productivity of labor in some sector is going to do the same thing supply and demand does to anything else -- the cost of labor goes up, but not as much as the productivity in that sector, and the producers of labor will enjoy higher demand.

The convenience to me of being able to refuel anywhere quickly, plus the dubious carbon savings, plus the immediate discount on the car purchase (without any subsidies), makes it a moral purchase rather than a practical one. I am not very impressed by the benefits.

I like how EVs accelerate faster. Otherwise it would make my life way more inconvenient, which I surmise is a major blocker for most potential EV purchasers
£5k is a lot for the average person on £40k a year.

£5k for someone with £2m in assets and fears losing £200k due to the “blight” of a power plant is not a lot.

Does this factor in the environmental impact of the battery lifecycle in those EVs?
Well it wouldn't be that way if it were not for all the JavaScript. If we just kept on doing server-side scripting (PHP, CGI/Perl...) and used JS only where absolutely necessary (video players, games...) like in the early 2000s, it would all work fine on 15 year old hardware. But instead we use the browser as an OS and have tons of JS on simple news sites.
This can even happen long after you've done an initial pass through the material. A few years after college I reviewed some electrical engineer concepts that had simply never made sense to me, but this time around everything suddenly clicked into place.
Hasn't happened to me yet, but there are apparently ways if resetting the counter.
Indirect point: using an ad blocker protects the environment. Considering it also helps security (loading fewer things = fewer chances at exploits), it should really be the default.
It ain't necessarily gold, but a dollar 'IOU' in the end should give the holder something to concretely purchase besides military equipment.

You can argue dollars can also buy 'IP', but IP is virtual and only as good as the police and military enforcement of its regulation.

You can argue dollars buy oil, but once again only because of military enforcement of the imposed rules of not to trade in other currency.

In the end an empire based on massive consumption of the world's resources in return for not much else besides the threat of 'take this paper or we bomb you' will not hold.

As for the brain-drain. This was/is still a huge thing. But it hinges on the desirability of attracting the right brains. If you abandon meritocracy as the US has been speed-running, why would a capable person want to go/stay there? Seems like the attraction incentives are there more for the subpar performer in the 'modern' US.
>because that inevitably implies dismantling that trust to get there.

There is nothing to dismantle because it's already gone.

The society that elected Donald Trump on his current program is an exceedingly low trust society. The whole point backed by DOGE is that you can't trust government and must reduce it to the most basic, barebones function. A lot of the current silicon valley elite fell prey to the nonsense preached by people like Curtis Yarvin who preach forms of anarcho-capitalism and despise democracy.

The United States of America are no more.
A thing I discovered by myself when I was a teenager: do not update progress bars on every loop.
Managing bookmarks, custom searches, tab deduplication/management, download path settings. I think I could name a few more but these are most important to me. Also just numerous pseudo-small things like “find a gestures extension that doesn’t suck or spy”. It’s not workflow, but is part of migration.
If your boss can do your job, he can understand what you're doing and correctly determine how you perform. One of you is only redundant if the manager doesn't have his time filled with other things.

An engineering manager actually reads the output of the engineers and participates in having it applied to realise bigger projects. He makes higher level decisions about the engineering projects.

I'm not going to speculate about the reasons, because I'm not an expert. One thing to notice is that just south are the very same people forming a democracy. There was recently a coup attempt, failed in part by army and police refusing to carry out their orders. Not really a sign of slave mentality. Also they have a habit of jailing their politicians quite often.

Anyway juche, the current ideology of NK, does not even claim anymore to be communist.

I'm currently running a more classic setup with postfix and dovecot, because the updates and security fixes are managed by Debian. Once things are configured, I don't need to do anything using unattended upgrades (other than upgrade Debian itself when the LTS version goes out of support, that is!).

At this point it is easier for me to not touch what I have, but in my next mail server I will consider mox!
Long-Term Capital Management [1] was run by PHDs and Nobel laureates. And as far I understood you basically need to be at least at the PhD level in order to be a quaint on Wall Street, and for better or for worse Wall Street runs West's very financialized economy, it's not the politicians (see for example how a recent British prime-minister who had to back up and then quickly resign when her decisions were not viewed under a good light by said financial markets)

U.S. hegemony has also destroyed and subverted democracies and propped up very illiberal dictatorships. Protecting democracy for white countries only isn't exactly what I think of when I think "world protector of liberal democracy".
I used this for all kinds of school projects and stuff back in the 90s. I even used it to make birthday cards because it had a handy template to print out in a way that you would fold in four to make the card. It was my first exposure to "word art" which still holds a strange fascination. Every once in a while I'd wonder whatever happened to it. I guess now I know.
Elon’s end goal is off-world - maybe not for him, but his grandchildren at least. He and a group of other wealthy folk have the goal of getting their descendants off planet and living elsewhere, and they will do whatever it takes to get there. If humanity on earth has to burn so that they can go somewhere new and fresh and all theirs, they will do it.

Elon sees the rest of us as stepping stones to his long-term goals.

Is there a fundamental repudiation to Austrian economics?

All I know about them is that they don't like funny money, which to me as a systems thinker is perfectly reasonable. At worst you would expect it to be harmful, at best to obscure what is really going on.

I imagine zero based indexing is because resources were scarce and number of bits low in the bad old days. Why waste that zero index. From there is was backwards compatibility.

If machine code uses zero then assembly inherits that, them C and everything else. Even JS months!

My friend, not everyone makes 150K/year. Like yes, we can do it, and choose our freedom because of the industry we live in. But you might be very disconnected from an average person’s life. Average or poorer person in the US does not get to choose where they retire either. I promise, 70 year retired old ojiisans over here in Tokyo don’t think their life would’ve been better if they lived in Oklahoma.

You guys think everyone wants the same as you do, but it really isn’t like that.
Why do you present China as an alternative? I’d you’re a western country, the CCP is not a body you want anything to do with unless you’re desperate. They do not share western values. If you don’t ally with the US, you really, really want to be a separate center of power, because everyone who isn’t US wants to exploit you dry and admits it openly.
