It's important to remember that for a lot of network server purposes, your code only has to be fast enough to saturate your network interface, and after that there isn't much point in trying to speed things up.

Not sure how often that's the case in Instagram's use, but I've been using Python and Twisted to saturate network interfaces effectively since 2003 :-), and in those situations I've been more interested in the correctness advantages of a good statically-typed language rather than the performance.

Smalltalk and Lisp (via CLOS) would still be my top two choices... haven't come across anything better yet.
It doesn't seem unreasonable to suggest that a solution which results in the vast majority of true members of a class being unable to prove their membership is not really an improvement.

This seems like a ... sidegrade.
Cousin. Elon is the chairman of the board.
Thank you for your thoughful response, in particular reflection on the strong tendency to encourage men to "whiteknight".

There is an interesting convergence between feminists and conservatives, in that both seek to demonise and curtail male sexuality as much as possible. They do it for different reasons though.

Social conservatives believe sexuality should be channeled into nuclear families because stable monogamous nuclear families are best for society and also best for the individuals involved. Without conventional families they belive فتنة (Fitna) will rule.

Feminists OTOH do so for altogether different reasons, indeed they loath the stable monogamous nuclear families.

For reasons that are beyond what can be easily discussed in a HN post, feminists have won this battle for now, and use social conservatives as enforcers, something the latter don't realise because they fundamentally don't understand that they are being taken for a ride. In the long run social conservatives will win though, because they have way more children than feminists (male and female). Feminist attitudes will simply die out.

I would stick with the title of the Medium article: "I am good at my job". The fact that the author is a woman is completely immaterial to the post. (And of course, being a woman has no effect on whether or not one is good at their job.)
Two cousins of his founded it based on a concept by Musk, who I believe helped them start it up and serves as Chairman still.
I don't think we can assume that if the government saved $50 billion dollars using Linux instead of buying Windows that we would see that money going towards aid. In reality, that money would be going into the pocket of some other business owner for some other reason. I doubt anyone in charge of a large public budget says "Hey we saved a lot of money with that decision, that's take that saved money and give it away".
how does that work?
> Muting the mic won’t work, since it’s possible for an intruder to unmute it. Your best defense is probably to insert a dummy plug into the microphone jack to prevent sound from being picked up by the internal mic. You can create a dummy plug by simply cutting off the unneeded portion of an old microphone plug. This won’t prevent someone from listening to your conversations when you need the mic, such as when using Skype, but it will at least thwart them from using the microphone on their own without you knowing.

The question stands, why tape the headphone jack? The microphone is not inside the headphone jack.
On paper: programming books and the decline of paper
I wish they'd pick some other cut to grind up. I have to look really hard to find chuck steak. In my opinion it's the best taste/value combination - sure, a rib-eye tastes better, but you can buy five chuck steaks for one rib-eye, and chuck steak is usually cheaper, and tastier than trash like T-bones, top round, or London Broil.

I've broken down and bought the roasts and sliced them myself when I can't find proper chuck steaks.
I think this is partially a defense mechanism. Ask yourself -- how have people been hurt in the past that might make them want to react aggressively to these sorts of mentions? I think most people have, at some point in their lives, had someone treat them as morally inferior for their weight or their eating habits. So loudly extolling a positive perception of their experience is a way of creating a wall to preempt an attack on their character from a "superior" dieter/vegetarian/religiously-kosher/whatever type of person.

Of course, this creates a vicious cycle. Just yesterday, someone offered to buy lunch for a friend of mine. He said it would have to be vegan, and the guy lost his temper. Like "how DARE you be one of those pushy types!" When the guy only said something because he was being offered food for himself to eat. Which perpetuates the cycle of distrust and mockery.

The "Democrats hacked themselves" is not a very good theory. I can't fathom what they would have to gain from it and, regardless, I'm certain the Clinton campaign does not want to remind people how easy it is to hack private servers.
One simple way this could really help is just in naming. Tesla Energy is sure to turn more heads than SolarCity as Tesla is a household name now that people generally have good associations with. SolarCity always sounded a bit generic.
Yeah, it's not the best. Working on it!
Actually I never used MySQL really. But sometimes it's great to know why decisions are made. Actually I don't think they said, "well lets use MySQL over Oracle" especially since MySQL is a Oracle product, too.
There would've been a way to use MariaDB aswell. And I guess anything with license costs fall out already (they explained why in the article).

That's pretty typical for companies getting an offer. The company to get purchased goes up, as the buyer usually pays a bit more per share than market price, and purchaser goes down because of... the cost of it I guess. Unclear on the second one, but it's typical too.
> they do nothing for the user beyond the domain name

I completely disagree. A well-crafted URL can inform users of the publish date, product category, headline, etc. without the need to click the link.
TSLA would be paying ~10% of its market value to buy a company that loses money. And they would do so at a premium to SCTY's current market value. TSLA already had an aggressive CapEx plan. So TSLA going down makes sense.

SCTY should trade up into the range of the offer.
Given how much of a novice I still am in the subject, might want to take my suggestions with a grain of salt compared to others.

I have always really enjoyed just reading the source code for programming languages. As I learn more and more, I seem to take away a bit more each time.

Personally I've enjoyed reading through the source code for Go, since it is hand written in Go. Being hand written, it can be a little repetition reading through it, but I find it to be pretty easier to read/understand.

https://github.com/golang/go/tree/release-branch.go1.6/src/g...

Also, I have read (at least parts of) the book, "Engineering a Compiler", which being a novice in the subject, some of it goes over my head, but I think it does a better job outlining the topic than any other books I have read.

A locker wouldn't have that problem, as there is nothing to break. Public bikes in many big cities don't have that problem either (i.e. there's no assessment of the returned bike). A smart car doesn't have to have it either (sensors in the car could detect crashes, for example, and interiors could be built to be tough, like many public cars already - see Paris' AutoLib).

Ideally, one kid should be able to "flip / slide" his/her project onto another kids iPad with a option to put a link in the iCloud. Otherwise, its just a solitary activity with no social reward.

Your reply might be inadvertently equivocating on meanings of "request", although I can see an interpretation where you're right.

Bear in mind that in many government data requests, the government is really demanding or instructing someone to provide the data, in a manner calculated to make the recipient think that complying is not optional and that refusing to comply would be punished.

In other contexts, the courts have at least created suppression remedies when law enforcement agents order people to do things that aren't really legally required. And if you as a private party make an improper legal demand of someone, there could be a legal remedy against you just because of that (although maybe that falls under "[t]he law is then there to step in when there is a dispute").

I think there are also cases where people have maintained civil rights challenges against law enforcement officers who gave improper orders (for example, improperly ordering someone to stop doing something -- like photography!). I would think the legal system could pay attention in a broader range of situations to the difference between law enforcement requesting people consent to something and making people believe that they have no choice.
I do the same thing when somebody decides to buy the ultra-lean 95-93% ground beef. You've got to do something, or else burgers fall all apart and taste like shoe leather - the easiest is to just buy the cheaper, tastier, better, 75-80% hamburger...
You're doing it right. The important part to avoid DMARC filtering is that the actual email address in the From field match your actual sending domain. The display name doesn't matter (for DMARC filtering).

However, there's another problem: Many email clients hide the email address part by default, and only show the display name. So the recipients may not see "donotreply" without some extra clicking. Worse, if that address gets auto-added to their address book, they may accidentally send to it later: the client autocompletes "John Smith", and the user doesn't realize it's actually your donotreply email.

One way to cut down on this is to include your company in the display name. I usually use:

From: "John Smith via ExampleCo" <donotreply@example.com>

but have also had good results (delivery and open rates) with:

From: "ExampleCo for John Smith" <donotreply@example.com>
A rude awakening? The company was his idea, and he has been chairman from the beginning. Do you think he doesn't know how the business works?
It's tricky because your direct image link redirects me to the full page with ads, and it's not obvious to you. Try hard refreshing your image link.

(I'm pretty sure the way it works is: it shows the image for certain referrers, and when you load the "full" page it requests the image with a referrer of imgur. That way you get the image, and then subsequent requests to the image are served from your browser cache so the direct links work)

As a sibling comment has said, there are scarcity of energy and resources. Now let's even pretend that can be a solved problem (not that I think it is possible, just from a physics POV): there will still be a transitional period where the issues I outlined will exist, and all of my arguments still apply during that period.
Solar panels, too - for Mars.

I think it's only a matter of time until Tesla buys out SpaceX, too, though. Tesla will grow by 10x in the next 5-7 years (and that's just the car business), and will keep growing faster than SpaceX will. By the time SpaceX needs to go public, Tesla may just be able to afford it.
I specifally followed the PS3 market carefully, and made sure to buy a used PS3 that had the capability to install Linux. Installing it was a fun side-project, although I didn't use it much. Then I bought a game I really wanted to play, but it required the firmware update that would destroy the Linux. I've been upset, and was seriously considering buying another used PS3 just to be able to play my game on that.

So, I'm glad this finally won. I was disenfranchised by their obnoxious actions. Guiltily, I admit that the $55 I get back will probably go towards a used PS3 so I can play the game alongside my Linux-enabled PS3 :)
Elon would be the first to tell you how impossible that is!
Does Tesla have mining operations? Does SolarCity make its own panels?
Suprisingly, no. Parts of lower Manhattan are just far enough from LGA and JFK to be outside their class B airspace at ground level. The Freedom Tower is outside class B. There are lots of other special restrictions near NYC, though. Right now, there are two temporary flight restriction areas due to baseball games. There's a restriction on flying over the East River. There are special traffic rules for flying around the Statue of Liberty. There are special rules for helicopters.
It's one of the world's busiest airspaces; you have to expect traffic control.

Why does it matter that it's solar powered if there's already a ready source of electricity (i.e. your car battery)? Seems like it's only solar powered to be facilitate being an after market add-on you can click onto the car. Otherwise it'd require wiring.
Trying to work something out here, need input, as I've never had this happen before:

I advised a friend to buy Tesla and SolarCity stock some time ago, and they did so. The SolarCity stock was much higher at the time than it is now, perhaps $60-70.

I see that the offer from Tesla involves "0.122x to 0.131x" exchange for Tesla stock. So what does this mean for people whose positions in SolarCity were currently down? They have to hope the Tesla stock eventually goes up enough to recover the loss they suffered on SolarCity?

It's remarkable that the documents show the DNC positioning themselves as an ally of a prominent Democrat in May of 2015 (and October, re: Biden) who was not the nominee and who hadn't been voted on by any American.

In other words: favoritism in a party primary by the party infrastructure is supposed to be verboten.
Dragon mythology as an explanation for dinosaur bones seems pretty straight-forward. I'd even say that "dragon" was just the early word for "dinosaur", and the mythology is based on an earlier extrapolation of characteristics from fossil remains than what we use today. A somewhat less strict extrapolation, but even today a lot of what we 'know' about dinosaurs is pure guesswork.

But dinosaur bones driving myths of biblical humanoid giants? That's a much bigger stretch. Most dinosaur bones are pretty non-humanoid, and people who are generally a lot more familiar with human and animal skeletons than we are today wouldn't mistake one for the other. Also, while dragon mythology is mostly reasonable based on fossil evidence (except for the flying and fire-breathing... and gold hoarding) giant mythology is completely different. The biblical texts and non-biblical books like Enoch give them names and actions that are much more historical sounding than mythological. You don't get details like that from big leg bone fossils.

So, I don't buy dinosaur bones as the source of giant mythology.

I really enjoyed reading your very thoughtful response. I understand that you are making a recommendation that instead of using some form of stack ranking of employees that I should instead look to keep every single person until I am 100% sure that it is a fair decision to let them go?

I am not sure that what you recommend would work for the type of business I have. Perhaps it makes sense for a product based business where you can invest in someone for a year because they may create a revolutionary change to your product after that. My business is a service business - we operate on very tight margins.

I like everyone I hire and generally wish I could keep all of them. I don't have that luxury. I am forced by the economics of my industry to let people go... so I have to pick using some method. Stack ranking based on productivity seems to be the most fair way to do it. Is there a better method than stank ranking for selecting who to let go?

In my view bitcoin's challenges are a bit deeper than just the implementation. What these challenges are, depends a bit what you think bitcoin is:

-as an investment, bitcoin is fundamentally a ponzi scheme. someone may argue that it is a challenge only if you are too late in the game, but for me, that is a reason I am not touching it as an investment.

-as a money (store of value and measure of value), there is a fundamental issue that there exists no mechanism whatsoever that would stabilize it's value (against neither a typical consumption basket, nor USD or any other currency)

-as a currency (means to make transactions). You might argue that it is only about implementation that the network can handle a couple of transactions a second. But a widely used currency should handle _lot_ more than that. Assuming one billion transactions a day means roughly one transaction per person per ten days globally. Every single byte you need to store a transaction implies a gigabyte of data per day into the however implemented network. I would call that a challenge beyond just implementation.
> Liberal democracies usually operate under the principle that you can ask anything you want of someone, and it's up to them to say "no" if they find it disagreeable. The law is then there to step in when there is a dispute and say which party is right.

That is true, but there's a difference between a request and wrapping something in the flag and saying it's a lawful order. A LEO can ask me whatever they want; in some situations it's a lawful order and I go to jail if I don't comply, and in others I can say no. This doesn't mean that a LEO can stop everyone and demand things with no probable cause. With the FBI letters it's even worse because they carry a gag.
