TLDR; All you proles stop complaining about corporate corruption, problematic immigration, and stagnant wages because everything is great and you have us to thank.

Fascinating to see all the globalists' brazen propaganda messages condensed into one article. Thanks New York Times, we really needed that.

PS: If you're not a globalist, you're a Nazi for having loyalty to your fellow countrymen. ("Fascism, racism, eugenics and nationalism are ideas with alarming recent popularity.")

There is no wikipedia page for "The Great Enrichment" because it's not an academic term (yet). It was invented for the purpose of propaganda.
Just search for the phrase "Great Enrichment" and you will see who the kinds of people using it are...
And how many grandmothers have successfully defended themselves with a weapon? That's the missing side. (And yes, the numbers for that vary from 55,000 to 4.7 million total home defense use - good luck on narrowing it down to kabdib scenario of 80 year old grandmothers.)

I believe the higher number includes grandmothers who defended herself with a weapon without firing it, in which case the balance has to include all crimes which were committed with a gun.

Really I'm annoyed with kabdib for using a hypothetical scenario to justify personal gun ownership, when for decades everyone has pointed out how meaningless such scenarios are for meaningful policy change.

I never said it was "guns per se". I'm well aware of countries like Switzerland and Finland with a high gun ownership, though not as high as the US, and don't have the same sorts of gun-related violence.

I agree that real estate and vehicle titles are different things. My point was that I disagreed with the blanket statement "It's no business of the government's what purchases I make."
"The depth of the stupidity of the things you will say sometimes is unimaginable." -I'm pretty sure everyone who has ever had to do this has felt the same way.
Most of the popularized Tesla stuff is fantasy and pseudo science.

But what is it that is bad about the shrimp? Is it a particularly unhealthy variety of shrimp? Or do they contain traces of poisonous chemicals?
“This raises serious questions about the reliability of the SpaceX launch vehicle,” said Loren Thompson, a defense analyst at the Lexington Institute, which receives money from Boeing Co., a SpaceX competitor. “They are taking this technology to the limits.”

Loren Thompson is a shill. Do not trust his name or what he said.
"The driver was following the pilot car too closely: more than half the recommended distance for adequate response (400 feet, or a five-second response time, instead of the recommended 865 feet, allowing for a 10-second response time)."

Er, that's less than half the recommended distance. How did the copy editor let that through?
Yes, of course he is. Most people are not talented enough to run one company, let alone have the time. The primary thing that concerns me is I understand his rush.

As Tesla is rushing towards the Model 3, they remain largely without competition from other electric cars. From Musk's point of view, it's completely logical to press your lead. Very soon it will be extremely hard for gasoline-powered vehicles to compete - the relentless engineering of electronics has made its way to automobiles. Has any other vendor seriously evaluated a charging solution aside from Supercharger?

I wish I lived in a world where Elon had better pick one damn company to run, because the market to build electric cars was so overwhelmingly competitive. Or where the utilities were so ahead in renewal energy creation and storage that Tesla would be silly to also have to go through the insane trouble of building a battery factory. Or acquire a solar company, lol.

Musk's achievements impress me especially in comparison to his peers. Who's bothering to challenge the dealership lobby? Who's ready to start pushing software updates over the air to their entire fleet? Hopefully Apple, Google, Amazon, Uber, etc get into the game and also contribute to pushing things forward. Because honestly the old guard hasn't made me as excited. I hope Elon inspires millions to be as disruptive.
> All I know is he must be very lonely with so many people hoping he fails.

Huh, I'd have assumed the opposite -- that the masses of people following the progress greatly outweighs the man-will-never-fly crowd.
How China Is Building a Startup Boom
That rubber-band feeling is exactly what CVTs are known for around here. Maybe you got one the whole time? Of course, rental cars have the most terrible engines no matter what.

The fastest gear switching is on DSG/DCT engines, or electric cars which don't have gears in the first place. Both of those should beat a manual car in speed and mileage.

BTW, as an American who can't drive manual or ride a bike, and grew up in a city which didn't even have sidewalks, I recommend this as a great way to become a computer expert.
I disagree strongly. SpaceX has always felt, especially to those in the industry, to have a blatant disregard for even basic elements of safety in their design and operation.

They _did_ supercool their propellants, and pushing that envelope was indeed worthwhile to see what they could gain from it. Unfortunately they _also_ decided to stage the payload to shave a day off of integration time.

SpaceX is a very interesting company, and I wish them the best because there are a lot of smart people working there on difficult problems. But I personally can't stand seeing them take unnecessary risks and treating it as a necessary cost of business. It terrifies me that they want to strap three of these Falcon 9 cores together, or that they want to put people on top of this thing.
Does his companies have Aldus Pagemakers and Pro Tools as Apple had and saved many times from bankruptcy?
PEP 530: Asynchronous Comprehensions in Python 3.6
But with so much memory available on modern systems, the benefits of optimizing makes les and less sense.

It is often not worth the effort.
No. It is not that rocket exploding is not a set back. Of course it is. BUT, it is not a set back of the magnitude the press wants it be. This is inherent to the rocket business, especially when those rockets are new technology.
> I could totally see someone like Newscorp buying them.

I do too, but I don't see any bright future for Twitter and its users in this case.
It would probably end up being far more about a min/dollars rate, since the time operating the vehicle and human (presently) driving it are both costs in time and not inherently in distance.

Approximating some numbers...

60 miles / hour (2 gallons and lets call that 10 USD for ease of accounting)

5 USD mis overhead (and profit)

15 USD driver wage (while working)

30 dollars an hour is about 0.50 USD / Min.

That's probably the absolute floor: I've not left much room in there for profit, insurance, vehicle costs... idle time of work units, travel to/from endpoints.

I suspect that 1 dollar / min is a reasonable fee, if quite aggravating for cities like Seattle / Bellevue.
Are you being sarcastic? Because one of the failure modes of a rocket is to explode. It is unfortunate, but not unexpected. It's basically unavoidable for any rocket manufacturer, and certainly not a cause to condemn SpaceX.
I'm afraid it's a case of "Show me the money", meaning, "Have you achieved what you say you can and have before you move on to the next grand vision of the future?"

For him to say that 'stage one' is complete is laughable. We haven't seen Model 3s on sale for $35,000 yet, we haven't seen whether Tesla can get the required production (which they simply can't) and they haven't achieved profit on any car at all yet.
As an amateur space and SpaceX follower, could you go into detail as to what elements of safety in design and operations you believe they have disregarded?
The only subreddits in my experience that approach this "professional," disinterested standard of moderation are /r/askscience and /r/askhistorians. I know AH has a huge team devoted to enforcing their rules, and it's off-putting to newcomers from other subs but absolutely makes AH what it is. AS takes more of an unapologetic scorched earth approach to keeping focus on relevant discussion.

It can be, it you buy a kit dedicated for this purpose:

I'd say the main reason is curation; Hacker News has a lot of interesting content to be found in a single place. Okay, Reddit has some of that too, but it's split across hundreds of sections of which the vast majority of the content is just typical news or discussions. Feels like Hacker News provides a more rounded, more varied selection of things to read, and has more of a focus on said content being unique rather than it being new.

Feels like a 'best of' list made up of submissions from 20 or 30 subreddits.

I guess the quality of the discussion is better here as well, though I have to say it's generally pretty good on a lot of forums and subreddits, assuming they're not so popular to have been reduced to the level of the 'lowest common denominator'.
Not very strong evidence. Essentially, it says that Millennials are more likely to buy a car in the next 12 months than people 30-50 and people 50+...right because presumably such other groups already own cars?

By saying "did not clearly rise to lethal", you have changed the goalposts.

You started by saying the grandmother needed it to defend herself against assault. I gave an example of an assault where a weapon proved worse than useless.

You did not say the grandmother needed it to defend herself against manslaughter or attempted manslaughter, which is what it would have been had the level of force risen to lethal.

You said a weapon was useful so ""anyone weaker than an attacker" being able to successfully make themselves an unattractive target." Yet here was a case where the presence of a gun made the victim an attractive target for assault.
Then the CSE optimization that removed the printf would be just plain wrong. Why create a more complicated scenario just to point that out?
Wow, that was surprisingly moving. For some reason, I expected one of those dry hacker essays.
It can sometimes make a difference, but usually the compiler's optimizer does a good job of deciding whether or not a function should be inlined.

If you want you can nudge the compiler in the direction you want via the "inline" keyword, although the compiler won't always take this suggestion to heart. MSVC has "__forceinline" but it too will not always comply.

Before the "inline" keyword, macros were the standard way to do this, IIRC
Fun fact: this won't tell you which bad word. Google's implementation of the speech API returns asterisks for words it deems bad. See:

https://github.com/knpwrs/grumbles.js/blob/master/src/grumbl...

It's also interesting to see which words Google determines is bad, and which they mysteriously don't. The API does real time processing of sentence structure and will return "<three asterisks> on me" and "cum to the park" correctly, based on intent. (Sorry for the offensive speech!)

For a side project I needed to find every single English word/phrase the API would filter. Stumbled upon that in amazement.

(Side note: speaking a long list of bad words into a microphone very slowly was the most fun QA I've done)
Car free is tough, but using a car less is entirely possibly in a lot of places. All you need is a bit of infrastructure, and a bit less zoning, so that you can live close to other things.

Then it becomes a "right tool for the job" situation. We had a car in Italy, but regularly rode our bikes, or took public transportation for various things.
Ask HN: What does an electrical engineer actually do at work?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm a pure software engineer, and I sometimes wonder if I'd have been happier on the hardware side. But I've gotten some reports that these days the work isn't actually all that different.

>So you just use a larger low dpi icon. The problem is that the icon at the same physical size now has much more details and looks less clear.

In what way does it look "less clear"?

The problem with showing more details on the low-dpi screen for a 16x16 icon was the low resolution of the screen.

A hi-dpi screen doesn't have this issue. It's effectively showing 32x32 quality on the 16x16 "virtual pixel" size.

At worse, it would have looked as good as a 32x32 icon in a low-dpi screen. But in the hi-dpi it looks even better, much sharper and refined. You're getting an icon that's as good as a 32x32 icon would be on a low-dpi screen, but with half the physical size, so that it appears twice-as-detailed as a 16x16 icon would be.
I am not hoping he fails, and certainly where battery tech is concerned Tesla have moved on R and D - especially when it comes to battery pods and keeping batteries at a consistent temperature and state.

But.....the grand visions before the boring grunt work of engineering has been accomplished, and trying to build massive $5 billion factories before any kind of profitability is on the horizon is not going to help Tesla stick around beyond a few years at most.
Which I'm betting nobody will do
For readers who are (fortunately) unaware of alt-right symbolism, "globalist" is a code word for "Jew".
This is false. The Chinese writing system and Mythos have no connection at all with Egypt. Descriptions of rivers predominate in ancient myths and there is no reason to construct a hypothesis that has little explanatory power and even less plausibility.
I had to tell that to my own mother. It was 5 years ago this week. There are no good ways. There are no good outcomes. This is a good article about how bad it is.
It's "Swartz". Not "Schwartz".

Swartz had the advice of some of the best attorneys in the field during his ordeal. Nobody doubts the stress of a federal prosecution contributed to his death. But nobody familiar with the case believes --- or believes that Swartz believed --- that he was facing a double-digit-years sentence. His own attorney, who advised him to take the case to trial, believed that if convicted on all counts, he might not even get a custodial sentence --- that his worst case would be a felony conviction with a probation sentence.

You can read the sentencing guidelines (they're public) and see why. First offense. Non-remunerative crime. Highly debatable damage. Reluctant, ambivalent victims.
The current understanding is that people join abusive and captive organizations/people not knowing they are such, and stay because acknowledging the abuse, coercion, and lies means admitting you've been fundamentally taken advantage of, which in the short term is harder than simply believing the lies you're continually getting fed.
Few want him to fail, and we'd all love the grand plans to succeed....but at some point a dose of realism has to be injected. Elon isn't a pied piper. We do need to think for ourselves occasionally, as do investors.
I just don't understand, if the vehicle is totally autonomous how is it going to get down my friends mile long driveway that is little more than two gravel tracks with grass in the middle and find a place on his grass to park while missing all the ruts.

I hear all this talk about better infrastructure, however what about the places in the middle of nowhere.

I see more of the Tesla, with self drive being in the future. Kind of like the movie demolition man.
A Space-X booster failure isn't a disaster. Fortunately, Space-X fuels remotely. The USSR had booster explosions during fueling in 1960 and in 1980, each with tens of casualties. If Space-X can find out what's wrong and fix it, it's not a huge setback. If the craft had been manned, the pad abort system would have saved the crew; the payload module was unharmed for the first few seconds, enough time for the capsule to launch. The Falcon launch failure rate is about 4%, which is on a par with everybody else.[1]. But that's not counting this as a launch failure.

Tesla's "autopilot" was too much, too fast. It's not very good and was promoted as being more capable than it is. Tesla really needs to enforce hands-on-wheel strictly.

The Tesla Model 3 at $35K with big production volume is a big risk. It will probably come out late, at $50K+, and in lower initial volume. But it should make it out the plant door at some point. That's the biggest risk item in all this. Remember that when Musk announced the proposed Model 3 production schedule, the two top people in production quit. They clearly knew the goal wasn't realistic.

Tesla buying Solar City looks more like a bailout. The big Solar City risk is that they're building their own solar panels. They could be undercut by competition from China, as Applied Materials was. Solar City has the advantage that their plant sells to themselves, so they can resist competition to some extent. Solar City's big vulnerability is that they're heavily dependent on Government subsidies. Those are gradually going away as solar becomes able to stand on its own.

The big risks are financial, not technical. Hence the pressure at Tesla to cut costs, and probably use creative accounting, to get a profitable quarter.

Thanks! The "any system" is very broad. Look like I wont be making a side-business selling them a bunch of restored IBM sorting machines.

(Speaking of which, sorting machines and punched card I/O is an active hobby market. Apparently many people are looking for IBM punched cards. I think there's enough of a market should a small paper company want to sell them again.)
I disagree strongly. SpaceX has always felt, especially to those in the industry, to have a blatant disregard for even basic elements of safety in their design and operation.

Do you realize that this company does more testing and more rigorous tests than other launch service provider?

I'm currently discovering that it's amusingly much easier to live without a car in the city with a family-with-kid than with a family-with-dog. Not a lot of medium-or-larger-sized-dog-friendly public transport that I've found. But if there isn't a good park for your dog to run around in close by, and you don't have a yard cause you live in an apartment... it's suddenly essential to have a car! Same with getting to the vet, etc.
This "anomaly", as they're calling it, is why.

Better to have the rocket explode on the pad in a controlled test than in the air over a populated area.
If you actually want data on this, not just confirmation of your own bias that family=cars, here's a cohort analysis of driver's licensure and car ownership rates: http://nexus.umn.edu/papers/Cohorts.pdf

German carriers paid more than 700 € per resident (including non-users like children and elderly) during multiple spectrum auctions in the last 16 years just for the right to transmit mobile internet over the air – much more than in most other places (US carriers paid less than half per resident as far as I know, Austrian less than a fifth). That money has to be earned somewhere.
I live in nyc and owning a car is totally worth it. Today I drove to costco and sams club for some shopping. Tomorrow I'll drive to the jfk airport to pick up family. The freedom and convenience I get from it makes owning a car great. Even in NYC. Sure, I can go without a car but frankly it is a pain in the ass to go to costco or to the airport without. Convenience is my highest priority and owning a car is very convenient.
Agreed, it's neat to see an anti-feature being subverted such that it becomes a feature.

So there has been work done in compiling probabilistic programs directly into C or C++ [1]. Your intuition is correct that in many of these languages if you wrote an HMM and did MAP inference over it you wouldn't recover the Viterbi algorithm, but there is some code in WebPPL[2] that handles this case as outlined in https://arxiv.org/abs/1206.3555.

Thanks for the feedback. Will try and improve the home page. Auto mute can be helpful in cases like watching a video in one tab and if you don't want audio from another tab interfering, on devices when you press home button or when you receive a call, playing 2 games in 2 tabs, etc. Just there if you need it. Everything will work exactly the same way whether the browser supports web audio api or not. That's the aim anyway and if it doesn't its a bug. Definitely useful for games and any web apps that needs audio playback.
