Why do the rights of the local people trump the rights of people from "elsewhere"? The major question is what harm is being done to the local people by the existence of 50 story buildings, vs the harm to people that find an ideal

Couldn't agree more. In the same vein, I think HOAs should be illegal.

It is a concern, but for me (which I'm extrapolating to "most" using this technique: https://xkcd.com/605/ ) it seems very minor. It's not a concern at all for the first car in a two-car household.

Range drops by how much? How do you know that recharging happens "routinely" and what frequency is "routinely"? I drive 35 miles to work, more than most anyone I know. Range could drop 50% from the stated 200 miles an

He claims that he doesn't like that either, but that without those subsidies ICE cars are economically viable but Tesla would never sell cars. Anyway, I'm giving you the reasonable summary, don't go actually reading those co

Were the batteries brand new? Were the battery swap stations everywhere that had a supercharger? Did everyone know about it? It seems like there are possibly some other explanations than people didn't care about the recharge wait.

by ambrice 10y ago
Right. So it tells you that typically even when superchargers are needed the driver doesn't need 100% to get where they're going. In order to need the 100% you have to be driving 400 miles in one trip. The author acts like this

If you read the comments, he's a hardcore libertarian whose problem is really the tax subsidies on Tesla. The rest of it is just weak reaches for additional justifications.

No, the capitalist way to fight a monopoly is to provide a better product and/or a better price, not to force your competitor to raise their prices to a point where you can compete with them through collusion.

The problem is not that IE was included, the problem was that the OEM was forbidden from also pre-installing firefox.

As I understand it: So let's say there's 6 major publishers because I'm too lazy to look up the correct number. If apple had approached one of them individually and offered them the same deal and they had agreed everything w

Why is the life of our citizens more important than the life of an immigrant? How about whoever can do the job better and more efficiently?

So you're saying they should remove the -r option entirely from rm?
45.
by ambrice 11y ago
It seems to me like it's a bad thing that an accidental rm in an efivarfs filesystem can brick the system, regardless of whether the filesystem was automounted or not.
46.
by ambrice 11y ago
What you mean is: systemd could have fixed it, but it would have been a lot of work and a hack that wouldn't help you when efivarfs gets mounted on a sysv/upstart/openrc system. The kernel was the best place for the fix.

I've read that page, I don't see their words where they say Protobuf is not good at encoding raw bytes. You have not been able to confirm it because you didn't spend 10 minutes trying it (add a bytes field to a message and s

Also, it seems like a big leap from "unsuitable for systems that require routing of messages but for some reason don't know the schema of the messages being routed" to "unsuitable as a network protocol message format&quo

Where is their words that Protobuf is not good at encoding raw bytes? I don't see that anywhere. There is a "bytes" type specifically for that purpose.

The tag numbers are part of the message definitions, they're not assigned arbitrarily. So absolutely you can reorder them. And as long as you described them as "optional" in the original message definition you can remove th

It might be useful to make an LD_PRELOAD library that does the translation.

Thank you for at least using Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia in your ridiculous analogy instead of Nazi Germany.

What does proxying have to do with it? One of us is terribly misunderstanding the concept. As I understand IPv4+ concept in this article, your router gets address 1.2.3.4 then every device behind it gets 1.2.3.4.0.0.0.1, etc. That way al

I think you're making the OPs point about the parallels. You've come up with these technical arguments about POS system limitations and management expectations for why the waiter is "right" to be annoyed at being asked

by ambrice 11y ago
As to why you're getting downvoted, I would assume a lot of people (such as myself) don't agree with your anecdotal evidence that waiters never react badly to splitting a check, unless you "live in a weird place".

This isn't new. Your interface could have more than one ipv4 IP also. If two ipv6 addresses are throwing something off that means it wasn't properly handling this case before.

by ambrice 11y ago
"what"? Since you have a multiple IPv4+ hosts with the same IPv4 address, how would an IPv4 host communicate with an IPv4+ host?

Which is worse than none of them reverting back to default..

Right, I'm just questioning whether this consistency buys you anything. Either way you're checking the docs to see how to print an object.
