To claify the line before that quote says: "But a long-awaited third model in the i-series won’t be launched before 2020"

That's 5+ years for a new model. It's say that is pretty damn slow for car manufacturers that tend to release a model upgrade per year. Especially given ever developing tech position of electric.

Maybe they are expecting the development to be done in Audi/Porshe companies and BMW will tag along. I find it hard to believe BMW management dont see (and plan for) where the market is clearly going.
At the same time, some argue that not just BMW but pretty much all of the German car manufacturers sort of missed the train on electric and are now still playing catch-up.
It's completely disingenuous and is riding on the AI hype train. I've never once ran into a chat "bot" that wasn't human. It's ridiculous, completely misleading, and frankly waters down any real startups working towards that future.
Intel has always sold predictable, stable products. But the rate of increase in the core value delivered by their primary product line has slowed dramatically.

It's encouraging that people are thinking about this. We have way too much zero-sum economic effort going on. Most of Wall Street trading and most of advertising are zero-sum.

In the near term, there are some obvious moves. The $15 minimum wage. The 8 hour day and 40 hour week. (That means everybody below the 1% gets paid time and a half for overtime, and wage theft is a crime.)

Do you (and the parent commenters) not find it uncomfortable and unhealthy to work crampt over a laptop all the time?

It's certainly not compliant with European health and safety regulations. Here, we have to provide an external keyboard, monitor and mouse for anyone that uses a laptop for more than an hour.

Yup. I do plenty of "medium data" work on my overclocked i5-2500k and 64 GB of RAM on Windows 7 / Ubuntu mixed machine. I've had the processor since the 2500k was the thing to have (years ago). No reason to upgrade yet. Got a new GPU after 6 years but that was about it.
> Didn’t shut the company down after 2, 3, 4, or 10 years just because they weren’t on track to be a billion dollar company in the next few quarters

Who has ever shut down a company for that reason? Typically startups die when they run out of money.

Other than that I agree with you: they seem admirably humble and impressively reliable.
Git Pull vs. Git Fetch (and Stashing)
I read a bit about truffle combined with graal (before deciding to go with asm) but could not find many useful resources. Seems like it is a very new stuff. I will definitely take a look at those blog posts.
What are the arguments against it?
Re race - no.

OP argument is not that minorities should be substituted with conservatives (that would indeed be race-related). Rather that diversity should not be constrained to only two axes of race and gender.
(Sorry, 1 volt per meter, which is still a weak field.)
Only if your local generation plus battery system is equivalent or cheaper at providing power than the grid. Most battery systems aren't profitable even if power is free. So, no.
And electric cars.
But the type of equipment failure/missing vehicle that will result in extended delays can happen to a bus as well.

Presuming everything is on time - you take 45 minutes to get to SFO, 60 minutes before your flight, 90 minute flight, 30 minutes to get out of LAX, and then 30 minutes to Santa Monica. That means, normally, you are looking at 4 1/2 hours, door to door. Most of it pretty miserable airplane travel, hassle going through airport.

I would totally sign up for the sleeper bus.
Scuba divers are a very limited market. There are only a few thousand at most who dive along the California coast with any regularity, and few of those need to travel long distances. The standard recommendation is to allow 24 hours between diving and flying, but in reality if you've done a proper ascent it's safe to go straight from the dive boat to the airport. I've done that several times.

I also have to add that there is no reasonable "why" to excuse bombing largely civilian areas. Undoubtably the VC were crossing over the border -- the Cambodian side of the Vietnam-Cambodia border is ethnically and linguistically a mixture of Khmer and Vietnamese, and that border has been fluid up until recent history -- but still most people there would have been civilians.
IIRC they bet more heavily on Hydrogen and electrics' success is taking them a bit by surprise? Only an outsider's take.

Can you cite a prominent contemporary conservative who says "We think that progress is going back to a previous state of affairs"?

Because it sounds like a caricature that makes it easy to say "Oh yeah, of course we can't have these crazy conservatives around young people".

I would love to do Amtrak, but it is just so horribly slow and not at all cheap for as slow as it is (at least in CA). LA to San Jose takes 10 hours on Amtrak, and tickets start at $60 for a plain seat. That's almost double the drive time and almost double the gas cost, or only about $20 cheaper than flying.
Many fields advance without solid well controlled, repeatable experiments, at least through various stages of development: cosmology, geology, most of medicine, philosophy, science of mind, etc. You don't consider those all "science"?

The lack of threading is what really kills the usefulness of Slack. This is why we settled on Flowdock in our company.

If you don't have threading, you lose the one best feature of those new chat solutions, the single advantage they have over decades-old IRC: conversations at least slightly detached from time. On Slack, you have to be there all the time in order not to miss things or to participate in just about any conversation. If you aren't, soon it will be too late and no one will know what you're replying to.

As for other advantages, I noticed that one of the biggest uses is file exchange. If there was another simple way to just drag&drop a file somewhere and have people access it, those chat apps would see less use. But there isn't.

I haven't seen the bad effects in our company. Perhaps they occur at larger company sizes.
Yeah, it's stunning how little we learn about Asia in European schools. The "I'm a pretty informed EU person" attitude is part of the problem -- how many of the countries on the top 30 economies list have you actually ever read the History Wikipedia article of? Why not?

While a long time, five years doesn't sound excessively long to develop an entire new model, distinct from an upgrade to one of the existing lineups. As an example, look at the amount of time the Tesla Model 3 was in development and still remaining until the first deliveries.

Not defending BMW; they seem to have missed the boat in this iteration. Perhaps they'll be able to find their way, but they'll have to play catch-up for a while.
Thanks for bringing up the coexistence of zero-sum and non-zero-sum. Too many people talk about them without any real understanding. Just as a time-series can be infinite, it can also be non-infinite at any point in time. People who dismiss things as non-zero-sum don't understand this. Suffering is real - and it is immoral to dismiss it.
I didn't know what stocks were until my first job out of college as a junior civil engineer. It was 1999, everyone in the office was talking about stocks, all the time. There were magazines laying around like "Money", one I remember had a photo on the cover of a guy and the jet skis he bought with his smart stock investments. Lucky for me I didn't have any savings to 'invest', because it turned out all the stocks people talked about (Juniper Networks? comes to mind) weren't really worth anything, and led to permanent losses on a significant fraction of my colleagues savings.

So...I think it's important to consider fundamental value. A diversified low cost US fund makes sense. I've also learned about bonds, I think medium grade US corporate is a good trade off, when it comes to bond funds you want fixed maturity date 'bullets'. Municipal bonds are good as well. Yada yada, AAPL.

Because systems based on pure ideology don't work well in reality. Its the whole idea behind implementing a UBI in our quasi-free-market capitalist system.

The larger point is that not only is the idea of a UBI decent and moral, because nobody should worry about being homeless or starving in a rich society, but because its much cheaper the the alternative! Only someone completely blinded by ideology (or somehow profiting off of the existing system) would argue that its better to spend $50,000 dollars a year per homeless person to manage shelters and run a bureaucracy if simply giving that homeless person $25,000 a year and achieves a better overall result.

The peer review system is not just to help scientists, but to help outsiders have confidence that science is actually working (since outsiders often pay for it), and to help them understand what consensus is. That is my summary of the main point of the article.

I think of peer review as kind of a low-pass filter: it keeps out the obvious junk. The problem is when science is hidden behind paywalls.

How well does your solution handle non-white-people NSFW images?

I know it's only a matter of training with other inputs, but most solutions I've seen haven't been trained with enough non-Caucasian images to give good results. Since this at least seems to be detecting shape regardless of skin tone it has more potential, but it'll only be as good as its training set.
Lol. This sort of statement is often made by people who don't want UBI. "Its just communism/socialism/etc." No its not. Its penance for an otherwise ruthless and unrepentant capitalism which has successfully undermined the value of human labor. Its an invitation to join in on the modern world and an alternative to the paternal condescension which is presently favored. Without it most people will be left to become blatant wage slaves or worse. If we transition to a world where the majority are regularly humiliated and made to feel they're responsible for their own disenfranchisement I suspect I'll end up killing myself. I can't watch it anymore. I didn't succeed because I worked hard. I succeeded because I happened to be smart and I won't be made into an annecdote in support of a system that would have otherwise fucked me. Anyone with the capacity to succeed will readily pay for it via "hard work." It's the people without that capacity that are so "lazy." They literally have no way in which to better themselves. Not in this society. Capitalistic motivation is good and UBI preserves it. But eventually it's only good for a few and we need a solution for everyone else.

The article explicitly says, "Cisco built a special Falun Gong module into the Golden Shield".

Reading the abstract of brief, it looks like "built" is being used to me "specifically sold and configured hardware." So it's not necessarily some special asic, but rather machines configured specifically to target and identify Falun Gong members. Anyway, in the 21st century, the line between hardware and software that runs on dedicated hardware is pretty ill defined.

I was previously working in a company that used Flowdock[0]. Current place uses Slack and I've noticed that there are multiple things bothering me.

Biggest complain for me is that the Slack UI gives too much weight on the fact that someone has talked on a channel. This makes me feel like I should be reading that, even though it might not have anything to do with me. This creates a whack-a-mole situation where I end up constantly jumping between all channels so that I wont miss anything.

Another thing that I really liked on Flowdock was that discussions had separate threads. Especially on channels that weren't your main focus but instead you were invited to in order to discuss some specific thing you could follow just the discussion about that thing and everything else can be filtered away. This also makes it easy to know what any comment is about, since you can easily read the whole discussion thread without having to skim through the whole channel. This works great even if the messages have days or weeks between them. (Instead of having just the direct mention as a point of interest you end up following the thread that you were mentioned on and you might keep following it for longer time, even after the highlight is weeks old)

There was a major annoyance with Flowdock as well. At least when I was using it there wasn't a search that covered all channels. You had to either know what channel the thing you were searching on had happened or you had to one by one go through all channels and do a search on each one of them separately.

Main point here is that Slack fails to keep my attention on the things that are relevant to me and instead seems to suggest that everything is critical to me. This makes it feel like addiction instead of a tool that would be useful all the time.

Nitpick with #16: I don't like when there is no "why" associated with a style rule. I'm speaking specifically to #3, "Capitalize the subject line". Why is this preferred to not capitalizing a subject line? Is there a reason, or is it an arbitrary decision (which would be fine - sometimes a style decision is, "We need a standard, and we chose this one." But I think the author of the style guide should explain that that's what they're doing).

But in general I liked the article. It's under-appreciated how helpful a good commit log is.
On the other hand they've been moving to a subscription model, starting a slow deprecation of the standalone product. Towards this end they've introduced the $5 / month family plan and killed the Mac-only option, while raising the price of the Mac+Windows option. At this point it's worth noting that the Windows client is old and buggy. They did this, as I said, to raise attractiveness of the $5 / month family plan, being the oldest trick in the book: setting an anchor for comparisons.

First of all I find $5 / month to be expensive. Yes, that may be the price of 2 coffees, but if you pay that kind of money for any service/app used, pretty soon you're talking about real money. I also like to own things and I hate renting things, being a terrible tenant. I cannot justify a rent of $60 per year for services/apps unless they are investments producing money. Something like 1Password keeps me safe, but it doesn't make me more productive when programming and it's not helping me with sales either. I can justify subscriptions for Dropbox or IntelliJ IDEA or for keeping my domain active, but not for password storage.

I guess what really bothers me is that 1Password is moving away from the things that made me pick it in the first place: standalone app, Dropbox/Wifi sync, Everywhere interface. I expected them to build the Everywhere interface for opvault, to introduce GDrive/OneDrive sync as an option, to fix their Windows client and maybe to introduce a Linux client. Their new Windows client that's the successor to the old one is a "modern Windows" app distributed through the Windows store, which means I won't even be able to keep running 1Password through Wine.

But there's another reason I prefer standalone apps. With the family/business plans they promise a web interface and they promise that after you are dead your wife or children will be able to access your vault. Of course, if I'm dead, the subscription would end because nobody would realize that they need to renew it in time, so that's an odd point to make. But skipping over that, this means that the vault is now stored on their servers and they have access to it and to your one password whenever you login. If you thought the Dropbox sync was insecure, think again.

So unfortunately they took the bait and decided to spend resources on a subscription model, which is exactly what makes me run away. In the grand scheme of things I guess it makes sense and I hope it works out for them. But along with DRM, trusted computing and the overall trend of bait and switch, I find it to be quite treacherous.
I-80 does the same thing most of the way across Nebraska -- it goes through Omaha and Lincoln, and then it misses everything else by 3-5 miles. It creates this weird dichotomy in places like Lexington, where most of the town is far away, but there's a huge cluster of businesses being built next to the interstate. It's often not even a shorter route; compare I-80 to US-30 in that area.

There are a lot of things to love about the Interstate highway system, but it's not always the superior choice.
