Surely, the phenomenological existence of Santa can be understood by HackerNews readers, no? Santa is a spirit and exists spiritually in as much as he has an effect on this world. And so we find he has, and, therefore, does.

I don't expect most HackerNews readers to agree with that argument (I am of two minds on it) but I would hope it recommends to them a bit of intellectual humility.
Yes. This wasn't a very good example of the NYT's "Daily 360". Some of them are much better. About a month ago there was one about abandoned buildings in the Fukushima region that was very impressive both technically and aesthetically.
This has bothered me. Tesla has all the data, but will only release it when it benefits them. It is easy to control the public debate when you are the gatekeeper of facts.
This is intriguing, but where find more concrete information in how apply this kind of development?

I'm thinking in go with CQRS/EventSourcing and according to the parent post Actor make things easier, but how?

Jane Street | Software Developer | New York, London, Hong Kong | ONSITE, FULL-TIME, INTERNS, VISA, http://www.janestreet.com

Jane Street is a quantitative trading firm with a focus on technology, a scientific approach, and a deep understanding of the markets. We are a global liquidity provider and market maker, operating around the clock and around the globe, employing over 500 people in our offices in New York, London and Hong Kong.

It’s no secret that we’re big believers in functional programming; OCaml, a statically typed functional language, is our primary development platform. Jane Street’s technology group is small by design, which means we need to maximize the productivity of each person we hire. We believe functional programming (and specifically, OCaml) helps us do that. But it’s not about productivity alone: programming in a rich and expressive language like OCaml is just more fun. We’re also happy to spend time and money on making it easier for the people here to get things done. This ranges from big projects, like the work we do on development tools (e.g. Iron, our in-house code review and release management system, and Merlin, a tool for providing IDE-like features for OCaml), to little touches, like getting people whatever crazy keyboard will help them get their work done most comfortably.

Want to see some of our code? Visit Open Source @ Jane Street (https://janestreet.github.io/), where you'll find several OCaml libraries that we've released into the wild. These form the basis for all of our software, and we hope they make life better for some non-Jane-Street OCaml developers as well.

If you're not yet convinced, feel free to poke around our benefits page (https://www.janestreet.com/culture/benefits/). If you ARE convinced and want some insight into our interview process, check out https://blogs.janestreet.com/interviewing-at-jane-street/. Or just drop us a resume at https://www.janestreet.com/join-jane-street/apply/.

We’re looking for people with:

- Top-notch programming skills (no OCaml or FP experience necessary!)
- Strong interpersonal skills. Most work at Jane Street is highly collaborative,
and we are looking for people who can work effectively in small, close-knit
teams.
- Deep experience with — and love for — technology. There’s no specific
checklist; we use software to approach a variety of problems, so we’re
interested in everything from low latency networking to systems
administration to programming language design.

(Note: no longer accepting internship applications for 2017.)
Strange, I'm from Canada and I've never heard of go90. Is it another American only service?

Edit: yep, "US only", two years after launching... we're one of the best consumers of Netflix like services because of silly licensing deals. Netflix made a big deal about launching their streaming service in Canada and did it promptly.
This has to be the weirdest thread I've seen on HN in some time. Ignoring all the race and world war stuff, look at Californication as applies to lifestyle in Oregon. I'm not making a moral or ethical argument merely an observation that demographically replacing the population of Oregon with California people, results in a "northern california" lifestyle in the state formerly known as Oregon. So if you think you're going to live in Oregon with an Oregon lifestyle and retirement package in 50 years, you are in for a big surprise when there is no Oregon anymore, merely "north california".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Californication_(word)

Given the observed rates of demographic change, it seems very foolish to expect the "gold pocketwatch and pension" of 1950s to continue in perpetuity in the UK or Europe in general. For example when Europe goes full on Islamic how does Sharia law work WRT legacy 1950s era western pensions.

You can't wipe out a population, replace with another demographic, and pretend magic dirt means nothing else will change. Look at the lifestyle in Jewish Ghettos in Poland and Germany before and after the Holocaust for an example. Or look at Manhattan island two hundred years before the euro colonists vs two hundred years after the euro colonists. Thats all I'm saying. Regardless of right or wrong we're waving goodbye to what was Europe and it seems extremely foolish to assume legacy euro retirement programs will exist in the future due to magic dirt.
Frankly it seems like nothing really new has come out of computing in decades. Basically all the container hoopla happening right now were in use on mainframes before Torvalds released the first Linux source code.
Ford has all the infrastructure that Tesla is attempting to build now (aside from the batteries, but that is something that Ford could easily partner with another manufacture to get).

If that is done so "easily," why is Tesla building a Gigafactory?

The bet is that Tesla will be the first successful company to market, or that they will hold some patents which will prove valuable in the future.

Patents? Have you been following?
I have, and at least for my purposes it did not fit the bill. It has been a little while, and maybe they got footnotes working finally, but before they were horrendous. And yes the Zotero plugin is nice. Libre Office is definitely the closest alternative to MS Office, but just not quite there for me. I do recommend it all the time for people who are very lightweight users though.
They're willing to if they can bundle it in something large enough to be—and otherwise more resource hungry than—a (sane) minimal graphical OS. Electron, say.
What this says to me is that the stock asset class is broken. The value of a stock is supposed to be the amount of earnings you are expected to receive from it over its lifetime (adjusted according to the risk free rate or whatever).

But today a stock's value can be influenced by a cool factor. Stocks that never pay any earnings can have high values (Amazon) and investor mania can out-live any attempted short.

There has to be a better way to set up the market.

What if stock had an expiration, after which you had to buy it again? And what if, when you short a stock, you get the full face value of the stock and then only have to pay the owner the earnings? Since the stock expires, you don't have to worry about covering both the earnings and the stock price, only the actual earnings.

I think the result would be pricings that more accurately represented a company's earnings potential.
Everybody who has programmed in VHDL or Verilog knows that building hardware is very close to writing software actually. It's just a level of abstraction lower, and there is a lot more parallelism, but the concepts are very similar.
If you don't do user-friendly documentation, your project is that much more likely to die for lack of interest.

then again maybe they didn't set out to create something that provides insights to people who first came across their field of study five minutes earlier

The whole point of simulators is to learn things by experiment. If a tool isn't accessible and doesn't come with examples, it's unlikely to see much further use or development.
whats your email?
* I would not use a free service - I want to know that my company is a customer. I want recourse/support if there a problem. That said - be sure to get insurance, for when there is a fck up.

* I want to pay to make sure that companies we use stay in business.

* If my business is using your services to make money - you should be able to ask for money easily.

* The "free forever" send the message that you are shy about asking for money.

* Start testing pricing now. (with the price "reduced" to "free" - ie use strikethrough)

* Remember a startup is only a business if it is charging for its services. Otherwise, it is just an expensive hobby.
You may want to clarify the non-sequitur there. Yes, Ford doesn't have it's own network of "chargers" (300+ mile recharge in 5 minutes or less), but you know there's a solid network available; in the few places where chargers are lacking, you can easily take extra power units with you (disposably cheap at that).

That said, Tesla is pursuing the angle of enabling customers to install their own charging station requiring negligible maintenance, and no supply; charing networks are only needed for longer trips which most customers don't need. That is a game-changer for many industries.

What makes it useless?
> the community of people who can use and work in C effectively is orders of magnitudes more than Rust

The key word here is "effectively." For the purposes at hand, effectiveness includes memory-safety. Do you know of a single project that implements cmsg(3) in C or C++ in a memory-safe, well-typed, cross-platform way? Or a project where I can submit a pull request and expect it to be reviewed, tested across platforms, and fixed?

I do genuinely believe that the community of people who can use and work in C effectively, in the sense of effectiveness that I and the Tor Project are interested in, is orders of magnitudes smaller than Rust.

I have a very good idea of how many Linux kernel developers there are - and also how many high-severity security bugs there are. I'm a coauthor of a research paper where we wanted to talk about exploitable security bugs in Linux, so we sat down and found a local privilege escalation in hours (CVE-2009-0024).

For TN visas (Canadians and Mexicans only), computer programmers and software _developers_ aren't eligible for visas, but software _engineers_ are. Would this exact situation apply to this new policy?
Well, at least we are documenting the problems, you can filter by "docx" to see for yourself: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Tracking_Bugs

So it's easy to jump in, if one has a passion to fix interop issues..
There's no technical necessity for it to be closed source, though. That's a business decision.
It is all about who owns the future. E.g. how much would you value the stock of SpaceX competitors now that SpaceX can fly reused rockets? Doesn't matter how many factories these guys have. They will be destroyed because they will never be able to compete on price, with somebody who can just refuel their rocket while you have to build a whole new one each time.

People value stocks based on what they think the future holds.
Because people buying and selling shares think that ford will probably shrink and tesla will continue to grow at pace for years, eating market share from Ford (and every other hydrocarbon heavy manufacturer).
Plea deals do save time and money, but at what expense? They allow for courts to try more cases that they would otherwise ignore as insignificant. They allow those who commit major crimes to get off with much lighter sentences (I've read about child sexual abuse cases pleading down to child endangerment, which raises far less flags on a background check). They also allow people to be bludgeoned into accepting charges they are innocent of. I just don't see how people can justify it at all.
Man, you're taking me back to a time when I used to work at Stew Leonards. Their milk is probably one of the best I've had right behind Battenkill Milk. Battenkills is more creamy if you can believe it.

As for expiry dates, I don't recall them ever being that long, but I don't think I've ever looked because I just do a smell test and just trust everything on the shelf is fresh.

I've read the book. None of those companies would even acknowledge their competition. Ford/GM/all other ICE companies acknowledge both Tesla, and the fact that there is a clear runway on oil.

>a huge supply chain and R&D costs around combustion engines

You mean largely trouble-free engines that run on ultra-cheap gas?

ICE has environmental issues, of course, but the idea that electric is universally superior is questionable. There's no range anxiety with gas and any backyard mechanic can fix most issues. Your locked down $100,000 IoT car is a completely different beast.

>Much of this will be of zero value in the near future.

Says who? If anything everyone is bearish on electric since gas prices have fallen and how range and recharge times will always be less convenient. Electric might replace gas but it won't be in the near future and nothing stops Ford from launching an electric line of its own. Electric cars are a solved problem if you can convince people to pay the premium and deal with the range anxiety and long recharge times. Ford has already announced an electric Mustang and F-150 on top of the $30,000, pre-rebate, 2017 Focus you can buy today. Tesla has no monopoly on electric tech. The barrier to entry is non-existant for other car companies.

edit: saying that the government will ban ICE isn't a market statement its a regulatory hope and for most nations a far off proposal. The idea that Tesla can only succeed with the government literally making their competitors illegal isn't actually a pro-Tesla argument. You guys are much less convincing than you think you are.

Combustion engines in vehicles like the F series trucks aren't going away any time soon. You need generational leaps in battery technology and safety to compete with those trucks. The whole "rugged, dependable" thing that they play on the television is not just for show. I've got a former co-worker who buys a new F-350 supercrew every couple of years before selling it and the depreciation is less than a lease for a midsize sedan.

Right, there are so many 'little' things in MS Office, that people use all the time. It is likely that no one person is using all the features, but on any given day all of the features are key to someone's job. And since they have the home field advantage, it will be a long time before anyone can come close to killing it.

This article, and the follow-up on it (link is in the article) is about something very important, and should be more widely known about and discussed by anyone with an interest in science, research, and funding for it all.

It points (yet again - as we've all seen the various p-hacking commentary) to the very real problems in scientific research that seemingly threaten to undermine it - especially from the public's point of view.

It has been said that "religion poisons everything" - there is probably a corollary of "politics poisons everything" as well; both of these are really just social control and exhibition proxies. Ultimately, human nature rears its head, and the want for more money, power, and prestige (at all levels) leads to these results.

...and society becomes poorer for it.

The questions and the proposed ideas aiming at solutions to the problems discussed sound plausible (or workable) on the surface, but I tend to wonder if any and all solutions will just be able to be gamed anyhow?

At any rate, I'm glad that this was posted, though I despair at it leading to any solution, as it seems the problems lie within our psychology and society, and are thus nearly intractable.

Bureaucracy goes out the window when you have an activist investor asking you why you're ignoring clear market trends.
I suspect that "dozens" is understating the size of the required feature set by multiple orders of magnitude.

And it's not just the size of the feature set that makes tackling this difficult - that's something that a company like Amazon could solve by throwing hundreds of programmers and millions of dollars at the problem. But they can't just rebuild the education of the users to invoke their particular use case.
Thanks for the response. Great work here.
except ford is spending an order of magnitude more than tesla. it's much easier to spend 100 dollars meaningfully than a 100 billion. I also hope you're willing to level the same charge at Google and Apple.

That's completely different, there is interest to expose your CPU architecture in order to help people write better compilers and better programs.

But on a GPU, the whole interaction between the GPU and the application is abstracted by APIs like OpenGL and Vulkan and you own the driver, you own the compiler, you own the implementation and you own the architecture. So companies tend to protect their "secrets" since they own the whole product.

If you are asking me why is it different... Ask these patent trolls instead:
