They typically serve four year terms. When any president begins their term the entire board will have been appointed by the previous administration. Now if games were played to make most of the terms expire at the end of the term that's also not okay under any means.

Totally agree that it is just something being thrown around to little benefit. That said don't compare catalytic converter materials to what they are talking about in EVs. The quantities needed are orders of magnitude different. The easier thing to talk about that gets glossed over is all of the energy expended to extract fossil fuels in the first place.

Bison behave differently than cows do. This is only anectodal, but that's the start of collecting some actual data to back it up.

That is incorrect, there isn't a single state in the United States where the highest paid state employee is the governor. They are mostly coaches at state universities, and where they aren't they are upper tier member's of the state university system.

Yeah using German translations is a well known simple strategy to see how your site handles longer word length, because of the language characteristics.

It will do a good job of pointing out places where you haven't built in adequate flexibility for longer words. It's not perfect of course, there are times when a translated word is shorter, but it is a nice real world test of the basic flexibility of your page layout.

I keep wondering why the US Strategic Command needs a social media presence. Is that just me?

> Well, that's absolutely false, actually, Zack. There is no way that a customer would not be able to sell a position they hold. We are simply stopping opening of new positions.

This is a problematic statement. Because to sell your position there has to be buyers, and the only buyers who were allowed at the table suddenly were those who wanted to pay significantly less then the stock had recently been trading at.

I think you are drastically misunderstanding the Nikola/GM deal. It is absolutely no lose for GM. If somehow Nikola takes off then they are supplying them with batteries and some other expertise they have. If it doesn't then the monetary investment, at GM's scale, was nominal. (Basically, if GM makes a mistake on a new car model)

I think the market is drastically underestimating how seriously the entrenched automakers are taking electric. They are coming from behind for sure, but I think one of the things you see consistently with Tesla is they are still very much trying to figure out the manufacturing and logistics pieces of building cars (rolling out new lines, scaling them, etc). The existing automakers know how to do all that. Are they going to make mistakes? Sure, but in 5 years you will see dozens of electric models spread through out them, and that will hurt Tesla.

Free trial is a bit different then what the parent was describing though. Which is paying for a month and turning off auto-renew effectively.

Speaking as an owner of a small car (Honda Civic), and 3 children in need of car seats (a Slimfit Graco which is a bit wider then the one you listed, but 2 of them are now in boosters which are narrower to begin with.) The problem isn't always pure width.

The rear seats in are contoured, for comfort reasons, in such a way that you need to put things under one side of the seat to level them out properly. And then the seats are so close together that leaving access to the seatbelt sockets for the children in boosters to access. So simplistic looks like this give you a really inaccurate picture of the problem.

I will also go further and say that even in larger vehicles getting 3 seats across any single row is hard. Adding a 3rd row doesn't even necessarily solve all of the problems if there isn't an easy path out if you have two kids needing 5 point harnesses done by the parent. Those seats block the folding exit mechanism that a lot of 3rd row vehicles use to let passengers in the rear row exit. You would have to remove a seat entirely to let that action work.

You are really dealing with a confluence of events that are affecting local news outlets of all forms:

1. Increased general interconnected nature of the world. People still care about local events of course, but there is a much greater concern for the big events of the whole world now. Your likelihood of being affected by the big news in some far away place has increased greatly and at an accelerating pace ever since the beginning of the 20th century.

2. That interconnected nature has become exponentially greater as the internet has rolled out. Before, your source to world events would still be your local newspaper/radio/television but primarily driven through aggregators (AP/UPI/major news TV/radio networks). Now people have the ability to get directly to the original more local sources. The odd secondary effect of this is that it has reduced the size of the local news sources in the first place.

3. Increased partisanship hasn't helped. People are much more likely to abandon a news source if they feel it is biased, true or not, ans they have other options now.

All of these together mean that news of all varieties has been heavily disrupted, but the long term replacement hasn't become readily apparent. I can't think of a similar system of disruption in other industries.

Typically speaking, all of the wiring is done in some central location for the building. The phone/electric/cable companies don't want to make individual drops to each unit. They make one drop to the building and then fan out to the individual units. All that changes when a new provider comes in is that they make a drop to the building and then connect the units wiring to it. They do not need to wire to each individual unit.

The level of complication for making the initial drop to the building will vary depending on the area and how wiring is done in general there, areas where there are pole hung wires making the drops are pretty quick to add areas where the wires are underground are typically a little more complicated.

It seems like you are misinterpreting the term housing unit. It isn't the number of buildings. A single apartment in a 200 unit building counts as a housing unit. What this number is telling you is just less than 1 in 5 households in the US live in a building with more than 4 units. I would suspect that the distribution of household size if anything is a bit biased towards single family homes having more people per unit in them if anything.

redux-observable can give you something rather akin to that type of behavior. It sees each action after it has already been applied to update state. This also separates out the reducer from those side-effects, which you really want anyhowto keep your reducers as pure functions.

> Microsoft has always been a headache. Recently its been a tiny bit better, but they still are a for-profit company that needs to continue to make a profit.

Just want to point out that Github was also a "for-profit" company.

So, I preface this by saying that I do feel like Slack could have better authentication mechanisms, decoupling the account from the networks. But I do think that some of this is by design as well.

I think it is worthwhile to think of each Slack organization as a completely independent and isolated network. This is one way that they can reasonably give some security to their corporate customers. I don't believe that there is any intention to ever lat you send a blind message to someone on another Slack organization, but maybe I am wrong there.

It would absolutely be nice however for me, as a user who is in multiple organizations, to be able to log in one time and have all of them be connected.

The Electoral college wasn't put in only at the request of the South. A number of smaller states wanted it (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Delaware); because, they feared political domination by the larger states. Same fundamental reason that there is both the House and the Senate.

The big concession to the South with the 3/5 compromise which primarily had an effect upon the representation in the House, and correspondingly an effect on the Electoral College.

Lots of design knowledge around vehicles, both from an aesthetic standpoint and in a number of other subsystems. But the bigger point is actually that GM, Ford, and the other major car manufacturers are really giant project management and logistic organizations. They are far from perfect corporations, but don't undersell what they do.

Funny little Winamp anecdote. We were going to be reinstalling Windows on a box, 17 or so years ago. (Now remembering the days of reinstalling the OS as just a routine action.) anyhow, before we did we decided to see what would happen if we just deleted the entire registry. The only application that continued to run was Winamp. Deleting the registry even broke some graphic components so it looked awful, but it just kept working.

He may have chosen to use newer syntax, but the same pattern can be used without computed keys with only a tiny more code:

  var stateUpdate = {}
  stateUpdate[event.target.name] = event.target.value;
  this.setState=(stateUpdate);

I don't think there was anything necessarily wrong with his tone as he was addressing the tone of the original article.

> owning a car is a visible blackhole of money

All shared vehicles do is distribute that same cost though. The owners of the shared fleets aren't going to no recoup those costs. If anything it simply makes the lost money less visible, but still equally present. (Feel free to argue that the actual costs are less with more sharing)

It does still have a choice. While the election is done the government doesn't change until next year, specifically Jan 20 for the executive branch.

On the other hand, it is a pretty standard practice when administrations change over, same happened for Bush->Obama and Clinton->Bush.

or just more /etc/passwd | less ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Except this had nothing to do with using a VCS system for package distribution, and everything to do with indirection provided by the index.

I found this one of the more detailed articles about the differences and why one might favor react http://jlongster.com/Removing-User-Interface-Complexity,-or-...

There are some legitimate reasons to use state, and I would argue that an HOC is legitimately one of them. (In fact fundamentally that is what redux's connect function really is)

High speed rail cannot come close to replacing highways though. It deals with a fraction of the overall traffic that the highway system supports without near the flexibility. This is why even the countries that are making extensive use of high speed rail still have extensive highway systems.

Please note, I am in no way trying to imply that our current highway system works well, but that is a far different discussion.

They don't say it, but if you watch how they behave that is the reality. The hardest worker won't tay on a pro sports team if they can be replaced by someone more productive, even if that person doesn't work as hard. At the end of the day pro sports, when done by successful organizations is all about production.

ES6 didn't define precisely how module loading worked, one of the reasons it isn't actually implemented yet. And there are actual reasons why the method babel currently uses won't precisely match the actual implementations (see hierarchal v flat dependencies)

That can fall amongst their side-effects, but it doesn't have to be. If you are experiencing them you should absolutely discuss that with your doctor, and whether the side-effects are tolerable at the level they are at. They also don't distort reality, they raise the level of serotonin in your brain. Now on the opposite side we do not have a fundamental understanding of how any of that works. For instance, the serotonin levels in the brain of a healthy person might be lower than those of someone suffering from depression. We simply don't have the knowledge know why things are happening specifically.

Speaking from personal experience, which is all I can really do given that I am not a medical professional, they brought be back to a basic level of functionality. In direct regards to what you had mentioned they didn't take away creativity, emotional range, or introspective ability, quite the opposite in fact. Before I began treatment I was rapidly falling towards not ever leaving my room and hiding from people all the time. I am not saying they are for everyone. I just want to point out that we all need to be careful assigning our experiences to others on this.
