Question:

How did elon maintain his share in Tesla during the finance rounds? He was not a cofounder. During the years, he did not have other significant sources of income. And Tesla has been capital hungry for a long time.

I am quite interested in his techniques, and am guessing so do a lot of founder wannabes.
libunwind is magic that lets you implement stack traces.
Honest question - do you really believe the two situations are equivalent?
>Processes mitigate risk.

Processes mitigate risk of repeating a mistake, but they don't prevent new ones, unless you have very wise people building them, and keeping them current.

Processes can be thought of as an institutional form of OCD. There are costs, and they shouldn't outweigh the benefits.
I agree. I have a TCL 4-Series with Android TV. I installed Google TV for "fun," assuming that I'd eventually get "upgraded" whether I liked it or not. I quite like having a unified watchlist (although Netflix has disappeared) and the recommendations are pretty good.
It was also trivial to mine it yourself back then, first with CPU then with GPU.

Some miners dabbled with FPGAs in 2012-2013, but the difficulty adjustment wasn't hit hard until ASICs started being used in 2013. Since then it's only been profitable to use the latest few generations of ASICs.
You are not the only one. I had to scroll down this far before I realised too.
Granted, Peloton Digital classes are more expensive than Zwift, but if you're ever interested, there's a whole culture of folks who use Peloton content on other bikes. Search for "Peloton app riders".

It looks like the IC4 supports power, so I highly recommend doing power training on Zwift, particularly for mountain biking. (I'm an ex-PNWer :) )
Github is accessible with ACT also.
This is a good one. Email3 sounds good. It shortens well - E3 message. The optics here are kind of important.

EDIT: Nanjing prices? Seriously Google autocorrect?
Just to help set expectations: 1.5 hours a day is a lot for a 7 year old. That's probably not much less than a full school day of actually sitting down and learning.

I have taught my oldest son programming via Scratch, Python, a Raspberry Pi robot and bits of Khan Academy and Code.org. He started about 7 I think, but I've always been really careful to ensure that the interest in it is coming from him and not from me. He asks me to teach him and I do.

I think with all things like this, you have to ask what the opportunity cost is. What is he not learning because he's spending the time doing this?
Honestly, I've been the same. I've been working from home since March and hardly go out. My partner does most of the shopping etc.

I blame my very own live in bio-terrorist, also known as my 2 year old child.
counterpoint - maybe MS telemetry shows that people don't actually like to use apps in Windows 10 and thus it makes more sense to show web searches!
as a software engineer, you have some* control over the scheduling and cadence of your features you develop.

You have no control over when you get a permit from the government like this. It's nuts. Even when the open source exception to ITAR was passed in the late 90s MIT was very careful not to release kerberos V outside the USA until they had very clear guarantees that it was approved.
A little mirror would work quite okay too.
I'm familiar with factor. The thing about factor is that its execution semantics depend on execution order (i.e. imperative), which makes it impractical / unsafe to allow clients to provide verifiers with an optimal execution order for verifying a contract.
ARC, not SPARC. Did the title on HN say "SPARC" originally or something? Because the slides never mentions SPARC, they discuss ARC, an embedded ISA.
It's disappointing to hear about such problems with Ruby. I hit the same problem with the Groovy Language spec when I first came across Groovy. Its creator, James Strachan, initiated an implementation, test kit, and spec all within 6 months of each other (impl beta-1 in Dec 2003, and spec JSR-241 in May 2004). The project managers who took over from him, Graeme Rocher and Guillaume Laforge, changed direction by stopping work on the spec and refocusing the Groovy reference implementation to be the scripting language behind Grails. (Of course, Groovy 'n' Grails was intended to chisel away at some of the market share of Ruby on Rails but that's another story.) Strachan often wrote that the spec was to enable anyone to make their own implementation of Groovy if they want to, and right up to his very last posting ever http://groovy.329449.n5.nabble.com/Paris-write-up-tt395560.h... on the Groovy mailing list on 5 Dec 2005, he maintained that what they were building was the reference implementation.

If Rocher and Laforge had come clean about how they turned the RI into the language itself, the backlash might have blown over quickly, but instead they led developers along for many years afterwards, not changing the spec to dormant until April 2012. Projects other than Grails who've tried to build atop Groovy have had to risk the ref impl changing in breaking ways between versions. The most spectacular incident was when Groovy++, an experimental static compiler built by Alex Tkachman that hooked via annotations into Groovy's AST, had to drop back down from Groovy 1.8 to 1.7 in 2011, and my own side project was also affected by the change. It turned out Rocher and Laforge had secretly employed a mate to extend Groovy with the exact same static type-checking and compilation functionality as Groovy++ and were obviously trying to shake us off.

Unlike Ruby, Groovy only has one other implementation, GrooScript, built by Jorge Franco, which generates JavaScript from Groovy syntax. When the developers of the most used implementation of a language want to protect their control, it certainly does hurt the ecosystem, turning it into an "echo system".
Well that was the response ("this time we'll do it differently"; Bernanke's "how to make sure 'it' doesn't happen here"), and the jury is still out on the consequences, IMHO.

I'm going by CPI and other similar measures around the world. Almost all US yearly CPI prints have been below 3%, with a small exception of late 2011.

Also, if (some) corporate profits stay on the same trajectory and interest rates fall, those stocks will rally like crazy. Interest rates are the most important prices in any market.
That is interesting. I'm a CTO, originally a CTO of a startup, now CTO of the much larger acquiring company. It is fascinating to see how different the CTO job can be across industries. I find my time is spent in almost the opposite direction, with the majority of it involving deep technical context switched rapidly.. and that really is the skill that I have need to refine the most - the ability apply high focus quickly. Cool to hear other stories.
The problem here seems to be that everyone kinda wants Nvidia's market capture. Intel didn't contribute to AMD's project - they started their own.
Charles Wheatstone was an interesting character. Obviously an extremely intelligent person, but it's a little unclear how many things he directly invented and how many were from his employees. The wide variety of his inventions is quite interesting, and the three I can think of off the top of my head; telegraph machines, railway points, the English concertina; are pretty diverse!

My knowledge is more in the concertina area of that, where I believe that Louis Lachenal is actually the source of a lot of the developments at Wheatstone before he left and set up a competing company (Lachenal). Sources are hard/impossible to come by on the internet for that, as most of the people who are experts in this are rather old by this point. I suspect that CW was a bit of a serial inventor whose attention wasn't held for long :)

FWIW I have a 1930 Wheatstone Maccann Duet concertina that I play regularly, and it is rather beautifully made.

EDIT: I was sure he was involved in the invention of railway point systems but I now can't find any references, annoyingly.
Some feedback for HN: repeating the story of PayPal/Amazon and saying "you just need lots of money" isn't an answer here. That's exactly what the author put in the question, they know.

Explaining _why_ the question is flawed may be a good answer, but otherwise think about the question and if you don't have a good answer, don't answer.
It appears to be permanent not temporary?

They are being banned for who they are, even if the decision is being delegated by Instagram to angry members of the public.
Same amount of courage as it took Apple to remove the headphone jack? :)
Thats exactly what they did with the free-speech filter in Denmark (which they said was only supposed to block child-porn). I know at least one dorm where the geeks just changed the DNS servers for everyone.
This is a discussion of the theoretical limits. They may be substantially higher than the actual engineering limits we can attain with real configuration of real atoms. (Or relevant other building blocks as appropriate.)

However, the theoretical limits turn out not be entirely useless even if we can never attain them in practice; they offer some insight about the nature of the universe, and it may yet be some thoughts on how the universe can process information that cracks open the problem of what happens in black holes, rather than what you might think of as conventional physics. There's been a lot of interesting work done in that area; for instance, read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_principle and observe how many times the word "information" comes up.
Oregon is 97xxx just so you know :-)
i'm not an expert on the processes, but i believe it only gets blocked for a finite period of time
Please don't use English & British interchangeably.
If nothing else, this is a reminder that any "private" information you reveal to the state may or may not remain private.

Hence the importance of "The right of the people to be secure in their ... papers ..., against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." That includes bureaucratic compulsion under penalty. Maybe this will persuade Ukrainians to demand real privacy protections (as in: the government can't have private info).
I know this is off topic, but Heart Surgeons barely make what this person is making [0]. Honestly, this person comes off as very greedy.

Trying to be less cynical, couldn't there be several valid reasons other then hype?

1) People hate car dealerships

2) The cars/trucks are really innovative

3) People hate car dealerships
Thank you so much for your kind words! As a frequent reader but rare poster, I find HN more daunting than I probably ought to.

Those unit conversion libraries look awesome! Way better than my pile of hacks. I only added the units I happened to use in recipes (surprisingly few). The most hacky thing is probably all the cooking-specific ways of saying "thing" (clove, pack, fillet, sprig, scoop, etc.).

The most interesting problem I ran into with unit conversions was actually around the user experience: when did I want units converted at all? Right now, the app simply always does it before rendering anything. This means converting to the smallest unit of that type, and then picking the largest reasonable unit to display. This can lead to annoying instances where you put an ingredient in one unit, but another is displayed. I also went a little overboard on the fractions, so you see things like "2/5 tsp" which is just absurd.
Why do a urinalysis at all when most treatment for acute uncomplicated UTI in females, complaining of cystitis and/or urethritis, is empiric as long as there are no signs of pyelonephritis? Urinalysis in the treatment of urinary tract infections is probably one of the most useless tests done in an urgent setting. Urine culture remains the gold standard particularly in areas of high anti microbial resistance.
> For the most part "graphing calculator" seems to be a catch all term for "scientific calculator with the features we need"

There are a number of scientific calculators that actually do a pretty good job at this, and they’re dirt cheap to boot.
Yeah, there's no doubt in my mind that this is a bad thing for the game and VR in general. We need less platform lock in, not more.
I'm a professional engineer with experience on these types of projects. CIPP has been used since the 80s, in the US as well as Europe (and I presume Asia and Oceania). Originally it was done with hot water, though steam curing processes have an economic advantage today. UV curing processes are now wide spread as well.

In the steam curing process high temperature water is circulated through the pipe to cause the resin compound to catalyze (industry term is "kick"). Steam is not allowed to escape from the liner into any sewer laterals. In fact, sewer laterals are plugged by the liner and have to be reinstated (cut out) by a robot afterwards. At the end of the process the steam is released to atmosphere, it tends to have an odor. From my understanding the odor is styrene, a common industrial solvent.

Sometimes people with flaws in their plumbing report the odor is coming from the drain. This indicates they could potentially have a more serious issue: chronic exposure to sewer gases. I always recommend they have a plumber investigate. Other times the airborne plume is enough to cause very sensitive individuals to complain. There are many industry veterans who have been working with these materials for decades - if you were serious about studying the potential for harm, you would follow this group. They are the canary in the coal mine. Folks with only transient exposures are at very low likelihood of harm.

The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the sewer systems in this country a grade of D+. Just above failing. In reality, and I see this every day, our sewer systems are in need of immediate overhaul. CIPP is a keystone technology for renewal of these assets, because excavation is too dangerous(!) and expensive to be our primary mode of repair.

FYI - pipeline characterization and renewal is a growth industry with a lot of opportunity for AI. In my opinion, a lot of these processes could be automated.

Video below shows the CIPP process.

I disagree that knowing the type of data being encrypted makes the technique flawed. Let's say you wanted to build a Speech-to-Text API that takes some encrypted audio, transcribes it, and returns the transcriptions encrypted.

Sure, you know that any files sent to you are going to be encrypted audio files, but you don't know what is being said in them which is the point of this technique.
Have you done shrooms? Wondering how shrooms work on someone who can get anxiety from weed.
I'm in Taiwan in day 6 of home quarantine right now. We get a call every morning to check up on our health. I don't mind it, it's a simple and effective method and it gives me confidence in the government and society, knowing that everyone is taking the situation seriously. Once I'm out of quarantine, I can feel comfortable being outside living a normal life, knowing that all known potential carriers are contained.
Only if it is a better Java 1.0.
I tripped over my USB-C cord recently - having never done so with 'magsafe' - and you know what? it pulled cleanly out, I didn't fall, neither did the laptop. And it wasn't some perfect angle that enabled that either.

In my experience, magsafe just meant that it disconnects on cord tugs so slight that they wouldn't even have moved the laptop if the connection weren't magnetic. Anything with the force to harm you or your laptop disengages connectors other than magsafe too.
I doubt it's designed to be stapled or clipped, because it's a dissertation, but you're absolutely right about the figure placement. I forgot to mention that.

Could you explain how one integrates a rubidium device in their hi-fi audio setup exactly? This sounds kind of fascinating. This is the first I've heard of this.
Well, it is pretty scary. The UI crashing and you not knowing how to restart it is a big deal.

It's not even like a traditional car where you can "restart" the electronics by turning it off and on again. It's a very specific sequence detailed in the manual...which most people aren't going to memorize.
That really is a problem and it took me a while to figure out that sites weren't actually/necessarily endorsing those ads.

There should be an easier way of black/white listing certain types of ads when setting up adsense.
yeah iframes on every modern webpage...
a problem is the adblock injection and it cost of curse. but please don't blame iframes for this...no one use iframes anymore accept for ads
HBO should release it in HD with a 4:3 aspect ratio. It would still be a gigantic improvement over 480i.
PHP is the standard bearer for the expert beginner. People write something that seems to be working quite quickly, so they feel they "get it" and know what they are doing. And then they stagnate and stay like that for 5, 10, 15 years even and never learn more. And then when presented with things they don't know, they resort to anti-intellectual rhetoric and trying to convince themselves that those things are "just a different way of doing it but no better than how I do it" and stay there in their rut forever thinking themselves an expert.

Haskell exists to write CS papers about it. It being the new LISP is just a side effect (pun intended).
I have been running Firefox without any blocker for a long time. Didn't mind the ADS, and I thought it an easy way to fund various things.

No worries, until those video and audio ads got out of control.

Some pages would bury my machine! And it's a good machine too. 2012 Mac Book Pro.

The memory profile of Firefox itself is kind of a pig, but not something I would worry too much about. Firefox with those ads? Out of control. Firefox with simple Adblock is back to no worries again.

I'll have to give uBlock a try.
never expected this from Airtel!
I think that's a bit cynical. This is the President of the USA we're talking about. His words matter for the sake of history. I believe it was smart to capture a log of his statements. It will be essential to the record. They should have also disallowed him from deleting tweets, but I suspect they have a copy of everything he ever posted since they claimed it was significant discourse.
Alternatively they may have believed they ought to respect the office of the president even if they hated the man in it. And they did right up until the storming of the capitol when they realised there was no amount of damage he wasn't willing to do.
Censorship can be performed by private companies. From Wikipedia:

“Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient." Censorship can be conducted by governments, private institutions, and other controlling bodies.”
The first one is only one bad consequence of the second.

Nobody owns email, Jabber or Matrix and that's how it should be.
That's really cool! Many of these end up looking like random noise. (So maybe they're PRNGs?) I love the way this one starts out before it devolves into noise:

I'm currently looking for 10 - 20 hours per week of development work. Looking for experience rather than direct remuneration. So I'd be happy to work on anything from open source source projects to commercial applications. I am self taught on technologies but confident that I would still be an asset if I can be pointed in the right direction.
I believe this is common practice in hospitals and other places where "nap rooms" are found. If you're actually sleeping, it isn't much of an issue.
It's not modern functional programming, but you can't go wrong with SICP videos:

I still don't understand how you can raise $14M for a social media app and not have an Android version. "Yes, Mr. VC, it's true that we aren't doing well on the iOS charts, and we purposely excluded 85% of the market from using it despite the proliferation of easy-to-use cross-platform dev tools. But we do have a lot of press and a cool logo....it's a Meerkat! Did Tom give you our wire instructions?".
Intel already tried something like that with Itanium and it failed to gain any traction.
I have this problem too, but just because the UK postcode database that a lot of sites use is wrong. There's not even a way to report it.

It means I can basically never pass a credit check at this address.
Which also won't work with post codes that are not numeric. The UK has those, for example.
Pretty terrible (but harmless) interview question. It reminds me of a pointless question I was asked once: name the 4 access modifiers in Java. That was the day I learned about "package-private".
"This isn't a liberty issue."

Wrong. Everything is a liberty issue.

"This is a you're probably a criminal issue"

This is why this is a liberty issue. Or did everyone just forget that it's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty? Even in the fucking article you have Branwen saying that most of the guys are probably just red herrings but that one guy might be a valid target.

Yet here you are making broad, sweeping statements and dismissing any criticism of the justice process through the lense of "people get what they deserve"... and then you continue to attempt to establish your authority as a criminal as a means to prop up your other claims.

"I have no pity. None."

Let me ask you seriously, who of the people being targeted do you have no pity for? Is it only for NSWGreat? What about Branwen? The other guys? Are they all immediately criminals in your mind? Based off what evidence?

Here's another reason your post is asinine: the way the current system is set up, almost everyone commits a crime everyday. This hasn't applied quite as much in the computer world but due to the fact that the powers that be woke up and recognized the internet as a threat, more and more computer fraud and abuse act style legislation is popping up and pretty soon it will be the same online (e.g everyone commits an online crime once a day)

You do realize, through your self proclaimed vast experience, that the justice system is corrupted as fuck right, and that simply putting bad guys in jail isn't how it always works out right?
