Everyone here is focused on what this means for Tesla, but this may be intelligence on what is going on with the Microsoft HoloLens program if senior staff is beginning to jump ship.

What's going to happen with HoloLens? The team doesn't appear to be very large, and it's been stuck in research-land for a while now.

this "one guy" here. I would say that the availability of open access cards is almost excellent these days, at least in EU. The quality of those easily available cards (chinese) is questionable though. But there are cards available from other vendors as well (most notably NXP)
Ask HN: Node vs. .NET Core
For a medium-size web SaaS project with a roughly equal mix of computation and IO demands, which of these would you recommend?

A bit of my background as it relates to the question: I was an MS Web Stack guy for years and years, but I have spent the last few years getting a solid grasp of Node, and I use ES6 and a lot of third-party and custom npm packages and tool-chains. So I have a basic understanding of the pros and cons of the two platforms.

However, .NET core seems to be a game changer, and I wonder of anyone with relevant experience can help me update my understanding of the relative strengths and weakness of the platforms
Private clouds wouldn't be the recurring disaster that they are if the people who built them had used AWS before. Instead of "don't build private clouds," I'd offer "If you think Openstack means 'free VMWare,' you've already failed."
You should seriously look into Minoxidil. It stopped hair loss for me, I'm in my late 20s, only had to adjust my hairstyle and none are the wiser.
Another way to say that is the market allows people to do things they don't really understand the consequences of, which can be expensive.
Not the parent, but I have known a couple of places that simply cut hours, without either hiring more people or increasing the hourly burden on exempt employees, and then complained they weren't meeting their targets.

(I've also known one or two places where they flat out told people to not report hours above a threshold and/or "mysteriously" deleted the overtime from the hours recorded, and the employees felt they couldn't report it to external authorities without getting fired.)
I don't know if this is a strange perspective for software engineers or what, but the building doesn't just exist to facilitate the work being done within it.

Networking, knowledge sharing, consensus building and control are all indispensable to running a business like that. Having a physical shared space is indispensable for them. I'd argue that it's necessary to maintain a company culture at a certain scale as well.

Its not bizarre when you consider that what is called "socialism" today encompasses a range of attitudes towards economic policy.
Its not bizarre when you consider that the drive towards efficiency and concentration of wealth destroys the demand side of the equation.
The Nordic countries are doing great (better than the US in many regards) and this is what most on the left refer to when they speak of socialism.
I don't know how anyone can look at Venezuela or Eastern Europe in the 70s/80s and say "yeah, we should be like that."
Well it depends on your age, doesn't it. Project earnings and savings potential into the future, look at you at median age, then assess again.
The whole point made by micaksica was that people like her (elite, politically connected, white, women, etc) wouldn't be convicted. If she was just a sop, then the counterexample is even stronger, since it means they don't even have to do anything particularly egregious to go to jail.

I think the track selection and the crowds reaction will go over peoples heads who aren't familiar with garage. A lot of tracks EZ dropped in that set were huge in the 90's and early 2000's (in terms of the garage scene). If you live in London, its likely you would get nostalgic over those songs. You probably aren't going to get the same reaction in most of the US.
Being off topic probably had more to do with it. Personally, I'm happy to see that the first comment is related to the story and not the predictable China bashing.
Adding slaves into the analogy is a bit strawmanesque
Any old server gives you full flexibility. One key point is, what do you mean by secure? If they give this Turing-complete machine to their customers, and then the customer uses or is given the wrong software (Murphy's Law), how is it going to be assured that this is still "secure"? And are many other paying customers looking for this Turing-complete thing they can write their own software for, or don't a lot more customers want turnkey solutions to specific problems?
> what really limits the welfare of your average consumer is the production capacity of the economy

A counterpoint: some 795 million people in the world do not have enough food to lead a healthy active life. That's about one in nine people on earth. [1]

I do not think that is because of the production capacity of the economy. A little redistribution would go a long way...

[1] https://www.wfp.org/hunger/stats
If there was one constant in the human history it got to be injustice. What the current economical system does is just organise the injustice through a just livable repartition of a very small part of the wealth.
Yes there will be inflation but it will hurt the rich much more than the poor. Assuming the real world value of dollar goes down by 10x due to inflation, the median would still be the equivalent of $100k, while the top guys will go from $100B to $10B. As opposed to today's $2k median and $100B top.
Ummm the article isn't very clear.

I think the next interesting milestone would be beating top rated humans using commodity hardware. In chess for example, programs running on cell phone processors have Elo rating around 2800. Using weaker hardware means that the algorithms need to have more insight into the game and can't rely as much on exploring the game tree.

The review mentions that in this new biography the most frightening presence is St. Petersburg itself, noting it to be home to "meddling" foreign agents. Reports of Western agents being present and affecting things at the time are incredibly widespread. There is even the case of the MI6 officer who frequently described being involved in Rasputin's murder [1]. Fascinating angle that defies the generally-told story…

People will always think about keeping their own sweet comfort before anything else in the world. And then, they will try to get some more if they can. Meanwhile, for some weird reason, they won't really bother themselves with all the poverty in the world, because there is simply nothing relevant enough they can do about it. It's called individualism.

It's not a matter of rich people hoarding wealth, it's just that it's culturally natural to behave that way. Nobody blames rich people, it's just that everybody is jealous. There is nobody else to blame than every each of us, collectively.

Their method had a 89.5% success rate, which might seem great, but is pretty much worthless in real life. The US has the highest incarceration rate, so we can use the US incarceration rate as an upper bound for the probability of randomly selecting a criminal from the population (716 per 100k, P=0.00716). This means that if we apply the same method at random to members of the general population, there's actually at most a 5.79% chance that the result of "criminal" is accurate.

Maths:
Let Pc = probability of criminal = 0.00716
Let Pt = probability of test being accurate = .895
Probability of criminal given criminal conclusion = Pc * Pt / (Pc * Pt + (1 - Pc) * (1 - Pt)) = 0.0579

I increased the RAM of my EEEPC 901 to 2 GB years ago (2009-2012?) and I used it to develop Rails applications on trains and during a vacation. Not as fast and comfortable as my Core 2 Duo laptop at that time, but it worked. By the way, it still works even if I don't turn it on often nowadays.
For the purposes of Go, he is japanese. He learnt Go from Kitani Minoru from age 5-6, and he became a professional player at 11~ breaking records for his time (if I recall correctly). Back in the 70's japan was everything for Go.
That's not really true, you can find tons of cheap, good food in Tokyo. But foreign chains? Yes, they will be expensive.

I've been to the Taco Bell, and it's definitely a disappointment. They don't have chalupas or even nachos + cheese and the prices are twice or more than in America. It's like they missed the entire point of Taco Bell.
If bread becomes 10x as expensive, who will be hurt more?
Right, and if you redistributed the monetary wealth down to the starving people, they would quickly buy up all the slack in the existing food chain and still not have enough food. If we're lucky and the free market is allowed to operate from there (oops-- hope the government didn't institute a price ceiling for food when the price shot up or this next part won't happen!) then some yacht factory somewhere will be broken down and recreated as a farm to make the now high in demand (and profitable) food and in the end the production capacity of the economy would satisfy those 795 million. So we're not in disagreement, but I think the distinction between redistributing money and reorienting the supply side of the economy to be more egalitarian is very important.

I'm a poor moocher, on long term unemployment (for reasons I won't talk about here), and honestly, life could be much worse if I was not living in a developed country.

It's an analogy, not a logical proof.

Whether it is an appropriate analogy depends on whether you think it obscene that they make so much, especially for what they do. See my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13034873
I'm curious why you think .NET core is a "game changer". I used to be a .net guy for years as well but I haven't been keeping up as of late.
I'm in West Africa now, and it's staggering to drive out of a tiny jungle track onto a highway equal in size and quality to anywhere in the world. It's also staggering to catch up to the road crew and see they are all Chinese.

Same goes for the hydo plants, railways, etc.

Of course, almost all of the roads and railways are to extract resources, not to help locals in any way.
I don't really see that as the main point. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned it at all.

I don't see the practical issue with a model being brittle in the face of imminent mission failure. The model breaking down shortly before you self-destruct the whole thing seems like a rather minor concern. It's entirely irrelevant at that point what the model is.

It turns into an issue when somebody throws the software into a new environment without looking at it or it's requirements and then doesn't do any testing with it. But that's not on the original developers. Their solution was entirely valid for their problem.

Even if they had done something like report the maximum value instead, the rest of the software for the Ariane 5 could well have been expecting it to do something else entirely which would still result in a serious problem.

It's an issue of inappropriately using software in a new situation. Without knowing and account for how it behaves, you can't just use it and expect everything to work perfectly the first time around. It doesn't matter how well the software accounts for various issues - at some point something won't have only a single correct answer and the software you are using will have to pick how to behave. If you aren't paying attention to that, it can/will come back to bite you.

"They take ID photos of 1856 Chinese men [...]. Half of these men were criminals."

Because half of the general male population is criminal, of course.

The accuracy rate would be very different with a training/testing sample that takes the base rate of criminality into account.
That is totally crazy. If a billionaire becomes merely a millionaire, was he hurt more than the person who went from 50K to 5K and can no longer afford shelter and food?

Phrenology is still phrenology even if its digital.
You're making the mistake that OP was warning of, which is conflating a stock and a flow. If you want to talk about people's purchasing power, do that. If you want to talk about people's wealth, do that. Conflating the two just leads to confusion and erroneous conclusions.

And in case it's not obvious, consider: Person A just graduated with a law degree from Harvard; they have negative net wealth. Person B is a retiree who lost their retirement savings in a Ponzi scheme; they still have a fair chunk of equity left in their house, but they've already got two mortgages Which one do you think is going to have trouble buying food?

Yes - those list a bunch of values - but they don't help that much in terms of actual documentation. They list nothing but the values.

Even MDN, which is probably the closest thing to 'standard' has very few examples, missing definitions, nothing interactive.

W3C is only really the basic stuff.

Let's face it: the tool we all use for showing our stuff to the world basically has no documentation. It's a mess.

The Mac/Safari documentation is literally blank for tons of objects. I mean - $100B billion in the bank and they can't make docs. Even swift documentation is totally lacking in examples and hard to read (they're still depending on your ability to read Objective-C stuff).
For which people? If you look at India, 200-300 years ago, it was a major manufacturing hub and much wealthier and better-off than it is today.

They also deprecated GCC from the NDK, going forward only clang will be supported.

GCC is still around, because just like it happened with Apple, there are a few features that clang still lacks in order to fully replace it in the context of Android.

Brillo has even less GPL components than Android.
Haha I love HN.

EU might be the differentiator. I do remember seeing a lot of cards that would only ship to EU, or shipping to US was prohibitively expensive.

I bet in around 10 years time, the GPL will be surely missed, but then it will be too late.
China stripping all the resources at a fraction of the international price, raping the environment, hiring zero locals, and building roads and railways that go from some place useless to another place useless.

That's not an example of the conjunction fallacy, as far as I can tell.

You've got a cat in a box. It was killed or not based on the outcome of a fair coin flip. Your prior for the cat being alive should be 50%. If you hear meowing and your prior stays at 50%, you are not very good at applying logic to contrived scenarios.

We have a complex financial transaction in a black box. My prior on there being a technical fudging on at least one term of it is, hmm, maybe 5%. If you tell me "A reputable observer says there was no impropriety", that goes down. If you tell me "A socialist says, while fulminating about imperialists, that there was no impropriety", my new estimate is high-nineties.

The box is meowing, loudly.
System76 doesn't do the design, as near as I can tell. Their laptops are literally-literally Sager/Clevo models.
It's not the absolute numbers that matter, it's the proportional ones.
Emacs for all coding, and general writing. I like it because I've grown very comfortable with it over the years, and the extensive library of lisp allows me to do nearly anything.

(Years ago I wrote a Registry Editor for NTEmacs! Much Lisp is available at https://emacswiki.org/ )

The only exception is writing email for which I use vim. Mostly this is because I use a text-based mail-client (which I wrote) over SSH. So having a daemon-process doesn't make quite as much sense. Vim allows me to easily reply/compose to emails with spell-checking, and that's about the only thing I've turned on.

I can attest to this. I made a small fortune in Silicon Valley and retired at age 40. Every day, I'm thankful that I have my health and a full day to do whatever I want.

I don't know what I'd do with the investment income from the next level of wealth. The conspicuous consumption (for instance) of flying by timeshare on a private jet instead of on a regular scheduled flight would just attract problems in my life. People can smell money from a mile away if you don't keep your head down.

I am at Grübel's level of rich. I am healthy, have no dependents and own my own time. I enjoy taking a walk in the park on a Tuesday afternoon because I want to. The afternoon meetings I had to attend in Silicon Valley were the worst.

I saw a sign once that said, "My hope is to die in a staff meeting: that way, the transition from life to death will be subtle." I understood the sentiment 100%.

Even by Silicon Valley terms, I had a great income and a good career. But I will never return to it.
Shared between us, we can afford to keep you ticking over. Good luck to you. Don't waste it.
