Except Toyota doesn't actually have it's shit together enough to make them in any quantity.

2022 Prius Prime sales: 5353

2022 Ferrari sales: 4922

A Ferrari rare car is not the solution to anything. Last I heard the waitlist on the Rav4 prime was years long here in Canada.

Regular Prius, and Corolla Hybrid / Crown Hybrid are more popular cars than Prius Prime.

PHEV is the least popular style in the USA. But they're readily available at the dealerships in my region at least.


I know this is a tangent, but if anything, western culture is better about this. We're not an "honor" culture, and we don't warp family relationships to "save face". People are not even allowed to apologize in some other cultures because it brings shame on their family/group.

To give a really grotesque example, there is an country run by autocrats that carelessly unleashed a plague on the world because they prioritized their self image over taking descisive action to prevent an epidemic.


There are plenty of examples of honor culture within western culture, such as the Antebellum South. Dueling was huge amongst the aristocratic cultures of Europe and US (see Alexander Hamilton). It is certainly making a comeback today. In the US specifically certain people were against mask mandates to the point where they actually banned people wearing masks during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Masks became a point of contention where some people needed to defend the family/group from wearing them at any cost.

Is this because they are making a trade-off between surving some amount of solar flare activity vs increasing satellite weight by hardening them to radation?

I imagine it's preventable since the ISS and other large orbiters stay functional forever.


A LLM would probably make this better. Instead of asking the user to learn a DSL why not just translate SQL to whatever structure the render functions uses?


You don’t need an LLM for that. Also, SQL doesn’t capture all the information you might want in an ER diagram.


I see the other comment is marked dead now, but seriously why? I'm having a hard time imagining how a schema is viewed as actual intellectual property or a security risk.


Intellectual property: it represents what kinds of data you maintain, their naming, and their relation. That’s valuable on its own and also points to what your software does.

Security: well, see above—knowing what data is stored determines your value as a target.

Now is it the _best_ way to target an adversary? Probably not.


Outlook may have used Windows structured storage back then -- but then again it could just be my imagination.

Never? You guys don't use the BEDMAS acronym in grade school for teaching order of operations?

I've only ever called them brackets.


> You guys don't use the BEDMAS acronym in grade school for teaching order of operations?

No, didn't use any acronym for that in grade school, and when I did encounter one used in grade schools, it was PEMDAS, not BEDMAS.


> BEDMAS

Was PEMDAS for us.


Yeah, never. PEMDAS for sure. What part of the country were you in where you got BEDMAS?


FWIW, I did my schooling on the West coast of British Columbia in the early 90's and it was BEDMAS.


BEDMAS in Canada (Southern Ontario) circa 2000.


BODMAS for us...


BODMAS for me too, although the "O" always confused me, the "E" standing for "exponent" always made more sense to me than the O" standing for "[to the power] of"


I'm just happy enough that we aren't referred to as the "land mass to the north"
