This is exactly how I feel about this nonsense.

It has always been funny to me that Ray Kurzweil keeps predicting functional immortality within the next decade or two. How convenient that, based on his prediction, humans will attain immortality right as he nears the end of his lifespan.
Are you locked into their ecosystem or have you pursued alternative means of adding CO2? I've read an article here and there that attempts to prove simply buying the water from the store is cheaper over time.
No, he's not. One is about popularity and the possibility of overcoverage. The other is an unlucky trend of athletes getting hurt.

Which isn't the only source of revenue for these firms, since we are talking about the whole firm.

Even if we did want to talk about just wireline, you would still have to do an ARPU comparison and see how other nations do. The last time I had to analyze a telecom firm was many years ago, but American firms do very well.

Edit: ended up finding a decent primer for the America telecom industry.

> Perhaps the cold climate means people mingle less, and so social occasions are meant to reaffirm social cohesion, to the exclusion of airing differences.

My pet hypothesis is pretty much the opposite: until a century ago or so, these countries were quite poor, most people lived on farms, often far from neighbors, and for at least six months every year, anyone "nasty" enough to be expelled from the group was likely to be dead within days if not hours. So the "dissent gene" was weeded out.

You are right, but I am supposed to have personalization off and it is still in the 7th position for me. ("How to leave your wife" and "how to leave a group chat" being ahead among others)... But if I type "How to quit", Facebook is 6th... Who knows what would happen if you combined all synonyms and excluded unrelated topics...
Obj-C ARC could do this with NS_VALID_UNTIL_END_OF_SCOPE, but Swift only has withExtendedLifetime(), which is probably more typing than just using defer.

That's the point. ZCash could have a bug if the same magnitude, and we'd be none the wiser.
I haven't. I just raised the price when I took a new contract. It's the same game as when you're full time employed, except you get to play it 1-2 times a year.
I strongly suspect that's the strategy. Reusing supply chain/parts to build competitive new energy infrastructure, licensing commercialized technology to major manufacturers in order to fund R&D, and using early adopters/status products to "beta test" the next generation.

Nice reply.
I had heard of airtable and checked it out and thought: this is exactly what I have needed this whole time. It is a much slicker version of SmartSheet.

And then I just found out about Fieldbook through your comment and it looks really good too. It's the only other product I've seen that is in the ballpark.

And then both founders are right here on HN pointing out more features.
Yes, police are clearly evil.
I really like the user interface for this — very smooth and modern design. As someone who has a lot of Julia packages installed, this looks great for searching and finding new ones.
wait a sec.

Someone steals my credit card, and if I notice within 2 months, I can get everything back. Another advantage is that it doesn't take several hours (and huge amounts of wasted electricity) for a transaction to go through. My bank hasn't been siphoning my funds either. I wouldn't trust any cryptocurrency exchange with holding even 10% of my monthly salary.

Sure, governments can get my bank records. But my bank records aren't literally inscribed on a public ledger! I don't have to make a bunch of fake bank accounts to protect my privacy from the random data scientist with the blockchain, because if I use my main account and my identity gets leaked from some random service I used, then now everyone knows who I am.

It doesn't matter if they don't care about me. Nobody cares about me. But the incentives are partially aligned: systems with higher trust require less friction. And things like credit cards prove that you can build protections.

And "code is law" is not really extendable across society. We have contracts, of course. But almost all contracts include a "Use common sense"-style clause, which is the whole point lawyers and judges exist in the first place.

How can you build "force majeur" clauses into code without some third party arbitrator?

Of course, having a decentralized backbone is neat. A long time ago, anyone could make gold coins! It wasn't like some evil cabal was like "Oh, we shall unify all the currencies and CONTROL EVERYTHING!" Centralization happened because it was kinda useful.

Half of cryptocurrency stories are "techies discover why banks do the things they do". For example: I imagine more and more exchanges will partner up to do off-chain transactions. At one point, a lot of stuff will happen off-chain. Question: what do you think Visa does?

I do not see a decentralized currency ever becoming big enough to be a real fraction of economic transactions without it becoming what most of what we have. Competition is good! But I think some cryptocurrency enthusiasts are in for disappointment if they want critical mass

I'd argue that register_globals is never a good idea. Post-if is sometimes a good idea, with one case that is problematic (less readable, not even a negative affect on function)
Perhaps the fact that they're human?

I interface with my local police at least once a month, not for recalcitrant reasons; they are good people.

Is this an anecdote? Yes.

Do I like seeing police as a whole cast as evil? No.
Great Initiative, you have obviously considered the VISA issues. Would love to hear how you plant to tackle those.

Nothing sufficient to deter an officer happened. The taxpayers pay a cursory fine and the department adds some training, when their training probably already outlined acceptable conditions to arrest someone.

Only when officers are personally imprisoned will they have any second thoughts about doing this kind of thing again.

Does Tesla not pay well by industry standards, or is that when comparing them to software companies? Seems like they work their employees very hard, though, so maybe they lose out on talent– on the other hand there was a time when Apple worked its employees hard and they were still able to retain top people.

Regarding the data collection, that's a great point. I hope that's not the case though, as I would think the data is far more valuable than the bandwidth it's carried on. Though, I suppose the capacity simple doesn't exist to send it over the air the way you can just store locally and physically offload. Then I guess it comes down to whether the compressed data from an enormous number of vehicles still gives a significant advantage.

I own a Bolt, and I like it a lot. I have no desire to spend 4x that on a Tesla that is simply overspec'd for a simple commute car. I derive my self-esteem in other ways than fancy cars.

>Orta has been arrested several times since capturing the 2014 incident and, as the Daily News reports, most recently had a domestic violence case dismissed.

Authorities had accused Orta of roughing up and threatening his wife Feb. 13 at their apartment home, the Daily News reports. It was not clear why prosecutors decided to drop the charges, but Orta said that he and his wife were good.

What?

So we should be lauding this domestic abuser because the _evil_ police have been ostensibly incarcerating him for no reason...?

How is it that _NONE_ of the mainstream articles you google reference the actual charges he is going to be incarcerated for and _all_ of them imply he is incarcerated for filming this incident? Are you all so delusional you don't think this should be at very least referenced?

He is not in jail for taking video, he is in jail for breaking the law.

Personally I think Musk doesn't think this way. I think he sees the secondary aspects of Tesla's work on cars (e.g., the battery plants and larger infrastructure of the electric car industry and positioning on standards bodies) as the actual big fish to hunt for.

Tesla cars are nice, but they didn't need to make the entire pipeline. They're doing that because they want to reuse the pipeline and tech in other industries.

Step Forward in Microsoft Legal Battle for Transparency about Gov Data Requests
I think that this response is confused. What is your point? That people can't differentiate random notes from a duet? That people would believe that anything associated with tensorflow was imbued with sophisticated behavior?

How does that relate to this experiment? It's clearly not just playing random notes in the example video...
It's a combination of things. For starters, I generally feel that openness in terms of computing, and technology in the more general sense, is a Good Thing for the world at large. The more things are open source and unencumbered by various legal mechanisms (patents, whatever), the more people who can use those tools, build on them, innovate, and participate in the further advancement of technology. Think "virtuous circle".

Beyond that, when tools are Open Source it makes life easier and takes out friction for us as individuals. I hate the idea of ordering up a fancy new chip, getting excited about it, and then finding out that I have to pay a zillion dollars to download and use the programming tools. Or I get the tools and find out that there's some weird "field of use" limitation in the Terms and Conditions. Or worse, I lose my last copy of the software, the manufacturer goes out of business, and then later I find a few of those chips in my parts box and realize I will never be able to use them because I no longer have access to the software. Or maybe I still have the software, but it has a bug that nobody can fix because nobody has the source code.

That we still have to use some chips that are proprietary to some extent is something I accept out of pragmatism, but by the same token, I support efforts like OpenCores, RISC-V, etc. that may eventually lead us to reasonably usable CPU's that don't need binary blobs and aren't full of undocumented features, etc. At least one can hope.

Indeed. I had plenty of positive experiences on Reddit, but many subreddits are very chaotic relative to how popular the subject is and who ended up there. The voting system just doesn't scale well in my opinion.
Only partially. The decision ruled that the officers were entitled to qualified immunity on the first amendment claim because, while the first amendment does protect his right to film, that wasn't clearly established at the time of the incident. It was only the fourth amendment claim for which the court ruled the officers don't deserve qualified immunity.

Had they only hassled him and made him stop recording, they'd be getting off without a punishment. It was only because they arrested him (and it was only ruled that they arrested him because they didn't act with enough urgency to figure out what to do with him once they'd handcuffed him and put him in the pack of the police car) that they're being denied qualified immunity.
Cars as the traditional human "fitness indicator" seems to be going out of style, self driving cars will decrease ownership and probably hasten that.

How to save 51B lives for 68 cents with simple Engineering [video]
While ford had the cash to survive the Great Recession without a bailout, it would have not survived the collapse of the supplier networks when GM and Chrysler went under.
I'm very split on this.

I very much agree with the first sentence.

But I don't know if I agree with the second. People who believe that something is meaningless, or hard to do, are at least not doing any damage, while saviors of the world have done plenty of damage. We humans seem to have an inherent bias for powerful persons, in that we tend to like them even if they're a terrible influence.
It didn't?
Yes, fallacies of definition are one of the primary reasons for misunderstanding, e.g. we both are using the same word, we both have an idea of what the word means and/or are using it in a specific way; however, we both think the word means something different, and we both assume the other person is using the word in the way we are. Piles of disagreements have been built on this one simple fallacy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacies_of_definition

That's one of the reasons why I like how Rich Hickey begins all of his talks with precise deconstructions of the definitions for the words that are integral to the theme of his talk, as he does in "Simple Made Easy":

https://www.infoq.com/presentations/Simple-Made-Easy

Once you establish a common understanding for the meaning of the words you are using, you have not only cleared up any potential misunderstandings, but you have also implicitly established points of agreement and have established a solid foundation to build on.

I think Elon means well somewhere down the line, but he seems to be completely blind to ethical/social effects as opposed to the purely technological ones.

More and more I find this approach detrimental to society and likely to amplify all existing problems.
It is far too high a bar. The police have always been very resistant to actually allowing the freedom the Constitution promises. This is only the latest example.

Those changes didn't change the fundamental architectural basis of Windows. There are quite a few subsystems in the NT architecture, let's look at them in turn, but first have a look at the following diagram which I created years ago and hasn't changed terribly:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_of_Windows_NT#/me...

* the HAL - there have been changes here, but nothing so fundamental that can't be built upon

* kernel mode drivers - these have changed and new models keep getting released by Microsoft, but these rely on well defined interfaces and a lot of it is in the kernel mode driver framework (KMDF). A detailed history can be found here:

https://msdn.microsoft.com/windows/hardware/drivers/wdf/kmdf...

The user mode driver framework is similar.

I'm not going to go through the rest of the subsystems, you might want to review this document:

Second-order survivorship bias. The vast majority of delusional megalomaniacs are abject failures (at least when compared to their own ambitions), and the number of them who live in the gutter and eat out of trashcans is at least four orders of magnitude higher than the number who find success.

People who find success often become delusional megalomaniacs after achieving that success, when they see their success as evidence of their own greatness, not before. The idea that it's the megalomania (or a black turtleneck) that makes you successful, or even makes you brave enough to attempt the things that might make you successful, is an illusion.

A defining commonality of delusional megalomaniacs is their destructiveness and their danger to the people around them and themselves. Worse, they tend to attract followers who both amplify the reach of that destructiveness and who create an echo chamber that reflects back and amplifies the megalomania that attracted them, making the situation worse.

> That sort of delusional megalomania seems to be a necessary motive force for tackling hard, risky problems.
