I disagree.

Tesla only had to go Model S -> Model 3, just as originally planned, and they'd be much more profitable than today. Model X, despite its 25% margins or so, isn't making money due to manufacturing issues. Its too complicated with its Falcon doors, and doesn't really have an impact from a sales or marketing perspective.

Instead, Tesla spends billions ramping up Model X, only for GM Bolt to release before the Tesla Model 3. BMW and other companies are catching up as well.

Even the Nissan Leaf may release a 200+ mile model before Tesla's Model 3, all because of the delays incurred with the Model X divergence.

I really think the Model X divergence was a mistake. If Model 3 launched just a year earlier with more money in the bank, Tesla would be in a much healthier position.

It's an offensive joke to tout "vocational school will get you a college degree!" in an article like this. The wages quoted for electricians should make it pretty clear how unnecessary that is - $28/hour is an exceedingly livable salary, and that's just for a journeyman.

I think this piece just reveals how ingrained "college is necessary" is for the upper-middle class. Even when they tried to write a post about the power of vocational training the best the NYT could manage is "because maybe it'll send you to college".

The value added here was one culture dropped its inferior notational difference. There was no clear "cross-pollination", as each culture preferred its own notation, until reform came along.

What is the equivalent in philosophical cross-pollination? Are some philosophies going to be dropped in favour of better ones? This doesn't even happen withing a lot of western cliques.

The nearest equivalent to notational reform I can think of is terminology/lexical reform, maybe, though there are a lot of ambiguities that confound this (in contrast to mathematics). In fact, it might even imply that anglo-centrism is a good thing, due to the standard common language.

> And then the developer says "hey we'll just use AWS because thats what HN all suggest and it's cheap"

Never understood this, except from developers who've never actually had to pay for anything out of their own pocket. AWS is nice, and has a place.

And I do hear it from people, a lot. It's cheap compared to buying your own hardware and dedicated staff, yes. But for a lot of the standard webapp stuff you might want to do starting out, it's not as cheap as just getting a dedicated VPS someplace.

I've been independent/self-employed for a long time, and while I use various AWS services (including EC2 for some projects), it's rarely ever cost which is the driving factor when AWS is chosen. But it's because the $ is coming, directly or indirectly, from me.

A Ukrainian Hacker Who Became the FBI’s Best Weapon and Worst Nightmare
Well then I stand corrected on what philosophers (at least analytic ones) believe. I even agree that mathematics is the closest thing to Analytic philosophy. But it is still very telling that in your third para, you list names instead of theorems.

And you are right to do so, for the reasons I explained in my post above.

When you talk of current research, then sure, you talk of modern philosophers. But that's still studying a tradition: just the latest versions of it. When teaching students you reach further back in time (just as maths students learn ancient theorems rather than modern ones).

The conceptual barriers to entry that you say face Asian contributions are a consequenceof the whole discipline having learned more Aristotle than Kongzi in philosophy 101. Because the 101 class (in any field) is what sets the terminology and background assumptions behind even modern research.
What's even more alarming to me is that, in some industries, it is becoming tough get a job with just a Batchelor's degree. I work at a private high school where 70-80% of teachers have a Master's or PhD...most of whom couldn't get hired at a university.

Tips to optimise rendering of a set of elements in React
This greatly depends on the industry. I dropped out of high school after my freshman year and have never had any issue finding a job as a software engineer or project manager. I haven't even been asked about my education in 5 or 6 years. You just need to market yourself, be open to relocation and make your skill set seem like an asset to the companies you are applying too. This is an odd industry though.

I'm not surprised that people are having a hard time with it. What does it really say? After reading it 3 or 4 times, I was sure you made a typo. Then I realized you probably copy and pasted it, so it's not a typo.

In the end, I finally concluded that it is legal to park across a disabled access spot in the curb unless it's in a crosswalk or otherwise prohibited.

Which is contrary to common sense, IMO... But then, that's probably why they decided to codify it.
Seriously. We got serverless being the most BS term I've heard in a while. Then DevOps: a term I still don't understand as I've never seen a concrete description of it, its advantages, and specific examples. We have microservices that people either brag or warn about in HN articles.

Combine them to get... something! Um, something I'll avoid for now until the Cloud of confusion clears up.
Students Are Being Thrown Out of Prom for Revealing Clothes. Why?
The biggest reason people don't use BSD of any type is that you can't go into a store and buy a computer with BSD on it. At least not in any store an "average" computer user would know where to look.

As for someone like me, I used to build computers (more than a couple hundred) back in the 80s and 90s with alternate OSs to Mac (classic) and Windows but never tried BSD. I did try BeOS and OS/2 and Corel and close to a dozen different Linux distributions (I have the Penguins to prove it).

At the time I didn't know anyone else that used BeOS or OS/2 other than me. Personally I mean. So that isn't my excuse for not using BSD. Mostly I rarely heard about it. Now I'm old (laughing) at 55 and left BeOS and OS/2 behind years ago and moved to Mac Classic and then Mac OS X which runs on top of BSD. That's the closest I've gotten.

If you want more people to use BSD you really need to promote it more. Not just in nerd magazines but put out flyers around companies (don't ask, just leave them) with an explanation of what OpenBSD is and why they should be using it instead of Mac or Windows.

It needs to be brief and clear and you need to make VERY clear how they find and install OpenBSD and not just, "Go out and buy a computer and install it." That's like telling most people, "Go out and buy a nuclear reactor and install for the OS for it." It's not going to happen unless you are clear and you make it as easy for them as possible. People like easy and they want to feel like someone cares and that they will be taken care of if they have ANY questions.

Personally I feel that one of the biggest bad jokes is that "Microsoft cares". Really? Would you like to buy the Brooklyn bridge? Because it's for sale for $1.

If you get everyone you know to lay out flyers at businesses with what I describe above then you may get a few more people to use OpenBSD. But be prepared to support them in not nerd languages and without any attitude. If you have emotional problems (low self esteem, and I'm not saying that YOU do, well those people shouldn't be helping anyone else with anything) then I would suggest leaving support to other people.
Way to miss the point. Different precincts having different proportions is not the issue.

Anyone that lives in NYC is well aware that, no matter what the commish says, the officers on the ground do whatever they think they can get away with. It's not at all surprising to learn that intentionally wrongful parking tickets are a huge source of revenue for the PD.
The connection is closer to Philosophy <-> Law <-> Logic <-> Philosophy than Philosophy containing Logic. In context much of this discourse relates to their system of government.

PS: There is a great comedy about this stuff from the roman republic which has a great scene that roughly translates as: A: Yay communism! B: Who would work the fields? A: Why the slaves of course! Anyway, stripped from context it's really easy to misread many of their arguments.
Having gone through an undergraduate philosophy major and taken many classes on non-western thought, all offered by other departments, I strongly support the article's position. To have a class called "Ethics" that covers only the historical Western positions deprives students of the majority of the world's thinking on the topic.

What many of the comments here are missing by trying to separate "history of thought" from a more abstract conception of "philosophy" is that people do not develop their views of the world in a vacuum. Philosophy classes are not meditation sessions where students try and summon knowledge from the void, they involve reading the works of great thinkers in the field, analyzing their reasoning and engaging with their ideas.

The philosophers you read provide both the content and the tools you learn for use in your own thinking. As such, only presenting philosophers from a particular tradition biases the experiences of your students whether that bias is cultural as the article points out or even towards a particular school of thought within a culture, like the shift from pragmatics to highly analytic philosophy that took place in American schools during the second half of the twentieth century.

When I asked my department head why we did not, for instance, mention Confucius in our Moral Philosophy class, she explained that it is at least partially a bootstrapping issue. Because none of the faculty at my university had training in non-western traditions or spoke any non-western languages, they did not teach them nor did they feel comfortable advising graduate students doing their research on those traditions and in those languages.

Take a look at the graduate program requirements for the Ivy League philosophy programs and you will see that they all require students to know a second language, but the languages they are told to choose from are: French, German, Latin, Ancient Greek, or Dutch if you are really into Kierkegaard. You might also be able to get approval for Russian. The result is an echo chamber where we only teach western so we only hire western so we only teach western.

I doubt the article's suggestion of renaming departments will do much to change this situation but I agree that it would be a more honest representation of the materials taught and sympathize with the frustration behind their argument.

NVIDIA provides regular driver updates for both Solaris and BSD. I bought a NVidia GX980TX, downloaded the latest SVR4 package for my Solaris 10 desktop, and one pkgrm && pkgadd later, I was running accelerated 3D graphics on the then latest-and-greatest accelerator NVIDIA had for sale.

> By all means continue the holy war. Grab some performance statistics, and hook in the BSDs.

They take our code, and we take theirs; they help us with our bugs, and we help them with theirs. BSD's are actually great. BSD's have smart, capable, and competent engineers who care about engineering correct systems and writing high quality code. We love our BSD brethren.
That sounds a bit far fetched to me.

With enough of these in a city police etc. can track every single person in the city at little to no cost with accuracy only limited by the density of these readers. It's within spitting distance of having a GPS tracker on every car in the city 24/7.

Not only do most applications take time, I've found that no-degree jobs take far longer to apply for than fancy "skilled" jobs like software work.

The full interview funnel is long in software, but the first step is something like "upload your resume to some sites". Decent low-education jobs, meanwhile, require proprietary sites and lengthy applications. It's not uncommon to be asked for 5-10 years of past residences and credit information. Verizon (for a floor job) put me through a 2 hour personality test (as an initial application), then never contacted me again.

I can't speak to people coming out of trade school, but the only no-degree jobs that you manage 5-10 applications per day for are the really crappy ones like fast food. Anything better than that has a swarm of applicants, so they're free to be as demanding and time-wasting as they want.

I can't really imagine doing 10 applications per day for the sort of job where many companies demand several hours work and none of it transfers to the next place.
Wouldn't it make more sense to either standardise the notation, or translate papers into both notations?

I feel this is a poor analogy to cultural cross pollination: notation is not the same kind of 'idea' as those found in philosophical paper.

Well sure, because in salaried jobs no one counts your hours. However, in my experience in both finance and ad tech, you end up working more than 40 hours. My IT buddies making 250k+ work 55-60 hour weeks, easy. It's not much better in the UK, where I have also worked. When you do the math, the contractor is ahead, because that 200k figure you cited is a 40 hour week.
