> It is not manipulation. The stock is tremendously overvalued.

This. I was going to say even $180 is still ridiculously overpriced.

Teslas statements are not good by any means when compared to GM and are even poor when compared to a company in problem times like Ford. Tesla even has massively less capital expenditures than both GM and ford. For instance, Fords after tax income was 4 billion, they had capex of 1.7 billion, and an EPS of +0.2. Compare this to Tesla at -0.6 billion revenue, 0.7 billion capex, -4.8 EPS (and they are issuing new shares each quarter for financing). Yet Ford cost $11 a share while paying out a 5% dividend - and this is all from a company in rough patch.

I have no idea why anyone is putting so much money into Tesla. You have to give Musk credit for great marketing and creating a cult around his image and ideas.
Look at what happened in the etherium hard fork because of the dao shenanigans. That's why there are two etheriums now...etherium and etherium classic
Yes. But the space dust didn't intend to become us. It's something, not someone.
I guess Goldman knows better how to value a young car company that moves 5 times faster than the rest of the industry, makes mind blowing products that people want to buy without even seeing them, has an unprecedented cult following with many betting their entire 401k on the company, and has survived many near death moments and came out strong... I wonder what gives such armchair analysts conviction to comment on companies like Tesla, Amazon and Netflix who are driven by irrationality and ambition.
Yes, you could in theory be disciminated against for your shortness, or fatness, or mirth, or fashion sense, opinion, or eyebrow girth.

However...

Have you ever been held captive & forced into labour on the basis of your atheism?

Has your father ever been told you deserved no democratic vote because of your weight?

Have you ever told you weren't allowed to marry someone else because of your height?

Have you ever been held in an internment camp because of an intellectual opinion?

Have you ever been restricted to a particular school, or public toilet, because of your accent?

Maybe you see why comparing those characteristics with race/gender/orientation might not be appropriate.
Google for "Paypal froze my account" or similar things. Nobody can prevent you from getting a "Bitcoin account" and from spending your coins.
Honestly I think the biggest hurdle for breaking into the mainstream is still charging infrastructure and the all-electric nature of Teslas. Sure superchargers are a lot more common than they used to be but they're nowhere near the saturation of gas stations (the need for which will ramp-up if the model 3 sells) and good luck if you go out into a rural area.

For the time being EV/Gas hybrids like the Volt are a lot more practical and cheaper. I could walk off the lot with a lightly used Volt for half the price of a Model 3 and get the vast majority of the benefits (autopilot simply isn't a big selling point for me at the moment) with none of the downsides.
VW and GM are investing heavily in building infrastructure for the electric cars they'd come up with in near future.. That means battery manufacturing facilities, testing infra and tweaking/creating new factories.
The EU will have fun then with much more expensive consumer goods, and businesses keeping flagship lines of products out of them for sale. More likely this is just another tax increase worded as "consumer protection." No business will really design products based on government say, but will just raises prices to cover whatever penalty fee they issue.
That’s what Mozilla does, too, reading the article.

However, that’s not what the grandparent wrote: "For these I add warning specific suppressions”. I read that as disabling single warnings, not a compilation unit at a time.

For example, in Visual Studio, you can do (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/2c8f766e.aspx):

#pragma warning(push)
#pragma warning(disable: 1234)
...
#pragma warning(pop)

Intel’s compiler is compatible with this (https://software.intel.com/en-us/cpp-compiler-18.0-developer...), but it would surprise me if it used the same warning numbers.

GCC and clang, on the other hand, need (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Diagnostic-Pragmas.html#D..., https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#controlling-dia...):

#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored “-W...”
...
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop

Because you ideally only want to target the exact place that triggers a warning, either is fairly wordy, and it gets worse if you want to cater for all three compilers.

It also wouldn’t surprise me if Mozilla supported multiple versions of gcc (for instance because they want to build for an OS with long-term support, or for an obscure OS for which the latest gcc is not (yet) available).

(_If_ you use C99, at least with gcc and clang, you can simplify that by using _Pragma, which has the big advantage that you can use it in preprocessor macros, so that you may be able to simplify what things look like in the source)
> Going through life simply for pleasure is the sure fire way to have no lasting impact.

Not everyone wants that. Some people have had their run "making impact" and want nothing more than to spend time with their loved ones and enjoy their hobbies. I strongly doubt they'll be on their deathbeds thinking "I regret wasting all that time spent with family and doing things I love; I ought to have made a bigger impact at work instead"

Maybe useful analogy: "normal" here is used not as a synonym for reality but more in the way that it is used in computing, especially things like database architecture. I like to make my databases as normalized as I can. Doesn't mean that sometimes trade-offs don't result in realities/databases that aren't as normal as I would like.
I made FocyOverride for that, still need to update it for the WebExtension API
Sure, everything is easy when it's just you. The value of having abstracted, localized CSS on a long-lived team with multiple developers cannot be understated.
By making things accessible to disabled people you also make them accessible to computers. This can be a great asset, for instance in automated testing (much easier with accessible ui) or indexing (with captioned video).
Why would it? Aside from a black swan like a war or a super disease or something. The common list of problems I see are all problems that China always had and like I said, still grew despite those problems. Every single problem I see is becoming less problematic and any tiny bit of progress on them are tailwinds for growth.

The mere offering of assistance to people who do not need it, and feel they should not need it, can be construed as insulting.

> AFAIK the only benefit of decentralized peer discovery is to be resilient to censorship.

No, not really. One example where it's not about censorship is offline scenarios, but connected to the same network. If there is a central, upstream server for discovery, you won't be able to find other peers. If the discovery works offline/locally (as with Bonjour/mDNS), you can still find other peers. So it has a lot of value.
> white people have built up generational wealth on the backs of black people.

This is quite the claim. Some did, say owners of textile mills, but rednecks and white-trash and crackers haven't really gotten much there--since they didn't have much generational handovers to begin with.

Blue-collar tradesman didn't exactly make out well over the exploitation of blacks either.
While I don't disagree, people said the same thing about Amazon.

The supermarkets have changed very little about the way they've done business in the last half-century, and as such I have a difficult time imagining them doing a good job executing on something like this.

I've also tested the majority of the meal and food delivery services out there, and my experience meshes well with the above: the local supermarket chain in some ways provides a better offering than anyone (as they should–you're absolutely right about that), but for a few years now they've persisted in making sure the actual execution is the worst I've experienced of any service. I can't see that changing until they completely overhaul their hiring practices and put sufficient processes in place to ensure good execution.

(For the record, Blue Apron strikes me as a pretty mediocre product at a pretty uninteresting price, executed in a pretty bad manner.)
I remember this one: https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/beyxJM_pM6jH8AKDU0ITxXn9W1...

Maybe. We did iOS support on Ship 1.0, and I think it turned out pretty well. For Ship 2.0, the Mac app is a Cocoa app, and the codebase is already factored into UI/non-UI areas, so it's somewhat portable, but of course much of the UI stuff has to be rethought to work well on iOS.
10 seconds was tongue in cheek, a longer look didn't show anything I missed the first look. Your platform isn't complicated or detailed.

It doesn't take long to determine that while you have laudable goals, there doesn't appear to be a significant differentiation either technically or realistically that makes your product worth spending more time on.

For one, the quality of conversation isn't a technical or platform issue, but an audience/participant problem. I didn't see anything particularly unique that would make Lyra better as a conversation platform, or at achieving your stated goals, than any other services, open or subscription. An open forum with conversations isn't a "new" idea. A tree based conversation threading system isn't "new" or "novel" or "unique". Having Private and Public chats, groups and profiles etc.. are far from new or unique features for a conversation platform either.

So yes, "10 seconds" was enough to determine that you've got a great idea with crappy execution, no audience, are trying to solve social problems with "technical" solutions (and those technical solutions are not new or unique to the problem space). You don't actually provide anything of value, and my initial assessment that you've just gone and re-invented the wheel looks pretty accurate.

Also, your branding/naming is horrible. A search for Lyra shows multiple other products and services, I gave up looking for you after 5 pages of search results for everything but your product. That's a black hole.

Your persistence in trying to advertise this service in a post basically pointing out how people like you re-inventing the wheel in your own platform to solve the same problem over and over again is the problem is actually highly entertaining for me.

The fact your a non-profit only further makes me laugh. You've got no product differentiation, only philosophical ones (that aren't even unique), and no mature funding model, and you want people to use your product?

I expect another downvote for this, because you don't seem to like someone pointing out sense. I can't think of a better example of the xkdc comic/protocol joke than this in recent memory and I work with software engineers daily.

We have to increase the supply of women.

Trying to hire the same number of men and women is sexist when 4/5 CS graduates and 12% of nursing graduates are men. At 7%, men are underrepresented in nursing against their graduation rates. Imagine if we gave men special treatment in this obviously sexist field!

Is it any surprise that affirmative action of any kind offends high achievers of both genders? Accomplishments are called into question. It brings gender into roles creating 'women developers' hired for their gender rather than capability, leading to lower compensation used to further highlight the sexism in the field.

Preferential treatment based on gender should not exist. This is a simple, equitable principle. Men and women should be equally affected by the time they take to rear children. Hire based on merit, not gender. With EQ and mounting evidence on female managers, this means that we may see men losing out to women.

Let's eliminate the mysoginists and misandrists. It'll create a lot of job openings for the rest of us :)

> But that's a modularity issue, has nothing to do with exhaustiveness, and can also go the other way (as pattern matching makes it hard to add new variants to an ADT in a modular fashion).

I would disagree on this point. With exhaustiveness checks you get at least errors in every place you match against a data type you just extended with a new variant. So your compiler can point you to the places you have to edit after adding new variants to your ADT. That's a helpful feature.

I think the real question w/r/t manipulation is whether GS is somehow short TSLA and profits from a drop.
Yeah. I'm gonna attempt a Fermi analysis to try give an idea of how much room is still "down there". 1 sq um is 100,000,000 sq angstroms. The unit cell of crystalline SI is probably around 50 sq A. That gives about 2,000,000 unit cells per sq micron. My guess would be about 5,000,000 "surface" atoms. The SRAM is .025 of that---perhaps 120000 atoms. SRAMs are cubes, so about 40,000,000 atoms cubically. Assume an SRAM is about the size of 8 transistors (that's a big SRAM): that's about 5,000,000 atoms per transistor. I'm going to fudge it down to 500,000 atoms, to be conservative.

The smallest logic I've heard of is a transistor using 7 atoms in toto. That is a factor of 70,000x, or about 16 generations.

Now, how we'll get there, I don't know. Also, I think the generation gap will probably widen to 5, or more, years. So... 75 to 100 years of "room"?
TCP and IP header checksum offloading is pretty ubiquitous, along with segmentation offloads (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_send_offload).

There is a more heavy handed offload in what Windows calls "TCP Chimney Offload" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/ne...), but it isn't as commonly used and is generally disfavored.

I used it for almost two years for a variety of reasons - primarily it forces you to be a better cook and cook a much larger range of recipes than you would select on your own.
Eventually I had a stockpile of recipes from them to pull off of and we moved right across the street from a grocery store so was pretty ridiculous to keep using it.
I don't regret it at all - I'm a much better cook and I can cook a much larger variety of stuff now than prior to using the service. These services don't seem like they are able to sustain people for long periods of time. If people are like me you'd use it for a while then eventually find it unnecessary. Seems like the model is short-lived propagation than long-term use but I could be an anomaly.
Also used a few others in that time - Blue Apron was the most consistent.
This might be true, however it's probably still worth at least trying to get some (unmanned) telemetry to better measure the location so that we can evaluate hypothesis or determine if additional study is warranted.
Yes, but their definition of self-made to include people who "got a head start from wealthy parents and moneyed background," like Rupert Murdoch. I think most people would consider the next level on their scale, "came from a middle- or upper-middle-class background" (e.g. Mark Zuckerberg) to be a more appropriate cut-off.

Not for nothing, but the Forbes 400 list that year included Elizabeth Holmes because of her 50% stake in Theranos, valued at $9 billion; last year it was valued at $800 million. This is not the only example of wealth being more made-up than self-made.
AWS Price Reduction – SQL Server Standard Edition on EC2
Excellent point. What's interesting about it is that a stock price contains all sorts of assumptions and information and blends it all together into one number, which is simply the last price that a share traded at based on supply and demand.

Surely Goldman has baked a lot of assumptions about market expectations into this assessment, and surely Goldman is wrong about many of those assumptions and right about others. A more nuanced analysis would be a probability distribution of possible price bands at various future dates.

Surely by Goldman's logic it is irrational to buy (or perhaps even to hold) Tesla stock at above $185. But Goldman's analysis would also likely have discouraged investment in many other successful firms over the years.

One doesn't listen to Goldman because the advice is true, one listens to it simply to reduce the probability of major deviations from the mean across a portfolio.

The movies that get critical acclaim now are often like they, just as they were then.

> The 60s had a whole counter-culture, anti-establishment and protest movement that's not the same as the 80s (decade of the self, yuppies) and 90s or even today (identity politics and conservatism battling it out).

Sure, the cultural context is different today than in the 1960s, but your doubly wrong in characterizing politics today as identity politics vs. conservatism. Is identity politics significant, sure—on both sides of the left/right divide (just as was the case in the 1960s.) Particularly, white identity politics is probably more of an overt factor today than it has been any time since the 1968.

> Decades do have a character and certain tendencies or fashions if you like, including in the arts.

Sure. I'm just saying that you are wrong in your specific identification of how the character of the late 2010s differs from the 1960s. I have no problem with the much simpler claim that there is a difference.

You cant compare the two. Ever car needs a gas station a few times a month. An ev owner could charge at home and literally never use a supercharger. You dont need a supercharger in every tiny rural town.
Perhaps, but the traditional car manufacturers already have a massive head-start in profits. :) If it comes down to it they can spend some money/time to ramp up their supply lines to competitive levels and come out fine.

It's also worth noting that the differences between Tesla and traditional car manufactures are much less than the differences between SpaceX and the traditional aerospace companies. There's no real business innovation on the Tesla side that the traditional manufacturers will have problems emulating aside from autopilot, whereas SpaceX introduces a whole new industry paradigm.

I don't see this being mentioned anywhere, but the biggest reason I'd be wary of _any_ consumer vehicle manufacturer's high stock price is that the demand for cars will decline in the following decades as self-driving vehicles dramatically reduce the demand for ownership.

One troubling aspect of the bitcoin proof-of-work is its tendency to eat the world.

Miners will tend to expand their operations until the electricity cost approaches the block reward. So if we plug in some numbers[1] we can estimate that bitcoin may soon consume a significant fraction of all electricity production. And it gets even worse as the price rises.

Probably because the perception of Tesla is that it's more than just a car company. Retail investors don't see much of a future in the American car industry so they're betting hard on tech-first innovation.

I wouldn't buy Tesla for more than $200 but I really don't think it's hard to see why people do.
