At least where I live EVs are becoming pretty affordable anyway, but in a slightly different way. 2-3 year old used EVs in great condition with good ranges are pretty cheap these days.

It’s a reliable car with a ten year warranty that doesn’t break the bank, and fits her use cases perfectly. What’s not to like!

I get what you’re saying. They probably only care about people coming in buying Lexuses paying cash. But to streamline things, as well as not discriminate Lexus buyers or cash, it applies wholesale. I’m very critical of the system in genera

Not in the states, but. Just yesterday I went to a Toyota dealership to take a look at a Yaris with my retiree mom. During the usual sales talk, the rep casually dropped that there’s an AML form that needs filling in if the sales go through

This fits my observations as well. With the exception that it’s sometimes the really sharp engineers who can do wonders themselves who aren’t really great at communication. AI really needs you to be verbose, and a lot of people just can’t.

His point was that they exchanged hiring people who are not like that because of the good deal they got to people who are like that because the deal they got is not as good comparatively.

Right, yeah, but isn’t the network large enough by now where a transaction would be routed around the censoring nodes regardless? Much like how there are censoring miners on the mainnet, but the censored transactions still go through due to

I happen to know a guy who has invested a lot in solar parks. He’s deeply unhappy about that investment because the electricity prices are often zero or negative when the sun is up and he’s underwater on that investment. I also know a guy w

The trade-off is different, sure. Much like the trade-offs between using a gasoline vs an electric car are different. But it doesn’t mean it’s not a solution to sidestep private corporations needing to serve as global content gatekeepers.

What problems does Bitcoin bring along? (Because this is a textual medium, I need to state explicitly that I don’t ask that in an adversial way, just want to have a conversation!)
163.
by jgilias 1y ago
Genuinely curious, how so?
164.
by jgilias 1y ago
It’s telling you’re being downvoted. But yeah, for one, Bitcoin does actually fix this.

I don’t think it actually reduces costs if someone better paid is now doing it instead.

Was it that common? Where I’m from that’s “winter driving mode” because it’s safer on slippery surfaces, but rarely anyone would do that in the summer time. My EV is set on max regen mode though, and I sometimes drive without pressing the b

Oh, but there’s something called “containment” that you measure and optimize on your chatbots.

UK law may be of no interest to you. But they can still press criminal charges, and Germany _will_ extradite you.

The future is not evenly distributed. I invite you to install Primal (a social network app), and send a 50 cent payment to Jack Dorsey just because you can. Can you let me know in this thread how it goes and what are your thoughts after doi

That’s literally impossible. There’s not enough cash in the system for that.

Ok, that’s a valid point! Though there’s a trade-off there, right? If both bar and baz can not find a file, they’re both going to return their own FileNotFound error type. And then, if you care about handling files not being found somewhere

You can import everything from a module with a *, but most people seem to prefer to import things explicitly. But, yes, you can generally figure out easily where things are coming from!
174.
by jgilias 1y ago
Is it really though? What’s the point of having an error type per function? As the user of std::io, I don’t particularly care if file couldn’t be read in function foo, bar, or baz, I just care that the file couldn’t be read.

by jgilias 1y ago
Yeah… Please no. I’m getting a bit of a macro fatigue in Rust. In my humble opinion the less “magic” you use in the codebase, the better. Error enums are fine. You can make them as fine-grained as makes sense in your codebase, and they end

Don’t forget some type of strength training. There’s plenty of research that it reduces all cause mortality. Likely by pushing back the time you become frail.

Well, yes. But nobody is running the entire industry. You’re running a company that has competitors willing to eat your lunch.

If those are remote positions, why do you care about any of this at all? Make it clear that the applicant needs to handle taxation in their home country themselves, and that’s that. I know many software engineers working remotely for compan

Towards or away from the center is the height, no? As in, you’re the bird at height Z observing the x-y plane under you, and the Z axis goes into you. Or away from you if you happen to be a mole under ground.

I believe this depends on the individual. For me, yeah, I am. But I do have colleagues who wouldn’t be.
