I was also there in april, and I am surprised the tourists and kids are left unattended, taking selfies, touching everything. It's an accident waiting to happen. Most tourists (ashamed to admit, but this includes me) don't actually appreciate or care about ancient art, it's more like been there, done that.
The best way to add new language primitives without breaking anyone is to pick a syntax that currently fails to compile.

`reflexpr interface {...}` could be declaring and initializing a global.

`$class`, on the other hand, doesn't compile. One could also do `virtual class` or something, I guess, since `virtual class` is a combination of reserved keywords.
Plus the fact that as the source of electricity to the grid changes, so too does the cleanliness of all the vehicles.

Sure, things today may be a wash in terms of overall emissions in many areas, but as time goes on and dirty power plants are shut down and cleaner sources brought online, the emissions due to EVs increases.

I'm seriously evaluating buying an electric car like the Bolt (though the cheap interior is a bit of a turn-off for a longer commute) or the Ioniq EV (much nicer, though with less range) since many employers are offering EV charging at work. That'd make my out-of-pocket operating costs basically negligible (other than occasional air filter and tire rotations), which is nice.

I'd love to see the tax credit turned into a point-of-sale reduction in price so more people can benefit, rather than just those with a >$7500 tax bill.

I really appreciate Chad's honesty, humility, and transparency in all of this. I'm really glad to have these words in writing from someone who put so much effort into trying to do the right thing. I hope these words are heeded not just by the startups of today and tomorrow, but also by the megacorps now finding themselves unable to explain to an angry public what's going on on their platforms.
In theory it seems that with sufficient understanding of any ML system, regardless of sophistication, such examples can be constructed. It is essentially the brain in the vat problem. Computers have no access to objective reality, whereas we cannot say the same regarding the human mind without making strong assumptions about the nature of the human mind.

To put this in comp sci language, we can think of DNNs as proofs that certain inputs belong to certain classes. Since no proof system can be both complete and consistent, something outside the proof system can always either provide unprovable examples or adversarial examples.
I remember reaching out to them a bunch of years ago (2012 or so) in order to ask them to host a stack overflow sub-site for our product (from a sizeable company). We were willing to pay quite a lot (because they had the premier UX for this kind of thing), but they weren't at all interested. They just told us to try to grow things "organically", because they had decided to focus 100% on open stuff.

We weren't really interested in their google juice, all we wanted was their actual functionality. Some non-stackoverflow domain would have been fine.

It just seemed like a missed opportunity on their end. I don't think we were the only company asking for this kind of service...

Then host the APK on GitHub. They don't have to host source there as well. And I'm sure they can design a page in such a way that only the more technical potential customers go for the direct download.

It's also rather ridiculous that these services are accessible/usable/activated only via an installed app on my phone or tablet. Just make the service available via my web browser and the issue is resolved.

In the end I just don't bother with these services - N26, Monzo and now Revolut. I'll just stick with TransferWise.

Can such methods be used to "fingerprint" proprietary datasets by tainting them ? For example, i want to make sure that my dataset is not stolen and used by someone else (Waymo?). So I taint it using an adversarial method and create a "canary test set" that will uniquely identify if my dataset has been used in some training.

Also, thanks for the link to the code, I found the issue with keep-alive (in fact there are two such issues). The first one is that you're looking for the Connection header with the Keep-Alive value, but this is needed only for HTTP/1.0. In 1.1 it's by default so you will not always get it, it will depend on the browsers, proxies etc. The second thing is that checking for headers and values this way is very unreliable as the connection header can contain other stuff, like "TE" to indicate that the TE request header field is present and must not be forwarded to next hop. In this case, the Connection header tokens are delimited by commas and you don't know either if it will match. One could argue that all these cases are not very common in field but it's the difference between being spec-compliant thus interoperable and working most of the time :-)

As far as I know, most Bitcoin transactions take ~10mins to get confirmed, so I'm not sure the current infrastructure would work for retail.

Admittedly I don't know what would need to be changed to speed up transaction confirmations to the point where you could use it in retail situations.
I've sent money with them a few times from UK to South Africa and had no problems.

I remember seeing an article here these past few weeks talking about the business model of Wikipedia and how it's supposedly inherently flawed. Wikipedia doesn't bring in a lot of cash, but it rather sets a sad tone for itself how unfortunate that may seem.

If you want immigration due to diversity (which Canada dos) then it would make sense to limit based on country of origin, no? Otherwise you wouldn't get as much diversity.
I totally disagree. It is not the web or www that is hostile but many websites and services out there.

I think no one will go back to the old web, although I agree it was an epic experience back then. For me it is totally logical that many people try to find a way to earn money on the internet, and in this economy there is in principle nothing wrong with that IMHO.

No one forces you to use Facebook, Google or any of the great services available. But people seem to forget that in life almost everything comes with a price. For Facebook and Google you pay with your (more or less private) data. So? If you think it's not a fair deal, simply don't use it! But please don't blame the entire web for that.

The web as it is now has soooo much more to offer than the old web that it is hard to even imagine! A few things I use that were impossible in the 90's, from the top of my head:

listen music on youtube, learn and use any programming language for free, git, open source, read the latest news in online
newspapers from remote countries, buy tickets online, airbnb, online banking, broadcast on twitter, social networks, slack,
OS updates, World of Warcraft/games, crypto currencies, etc.. etc...

I'm happy to pay with some of my privacy to any of the services above, it's up to me to decide whether the balance is OK.

I feel like I'm missing something; you're saying the farmers (I presume you mean the kulaks, the landowning peasantry - please correct me if I'm wrong)couldn't really threaten Stalin, but at the same time say that implementing his policy massively threatened his position. It can't be both at once, and while collectivization turned out to have a heavy economic cost in the medium term, Stalin was able to blame the farmers for trying to hoard grain and eliminate their leaders. And as we can't see the future, it wasn't obvious beforehand how bad of an idea collectivization would turn out to be, so I presume he felt it was a gamble worth taking.
When I say retail I mean things like buying steam games or buying web hosting, not actual brick and morter store purchases.

You can retire comfortably almost anywhere with $2M. 3% is an extremely safe "withdrawal rate" if you invest the money in index funds, and that gives you an annual income of $60k. That's a solid middle-class income anywhere in the US, and luxury in South-East Asia.
Yes, most of them didn't last more than a few years before the bits started falling off. This may partially have been because most of them were SD (720kb) that I'd drilled the HD (1440kb) marker hole into to save money. Worked fine at the time, but probably didn't help boost their longevity.

If you present this argument to Linus, you will certainly get yelled at.

You are correct. But there is another side too. $ makes the language way uglier than it is now, and C++ is ugly language already.

> Can I even use e.g. a Scala collection from Java? (let alone Clojure, Kotlin, etc)

Yup to all. Sometimes the code comes out looking a bit ugly (e.g, you can access default parameters from Java, but it's done by calling methods with kind of awful auto-generated names), but the only things you really can't get at are things that relies on implicits, type tags, or traits with fields.

Thanks for the pointer, although it looks focuses on '3D' as in models and assets for games and renderers, not '3D' as in the dimensions and mechanical properties of concrete walls. Still I downloaded the spec for a closer read from the Github repository.

The two important clients for 3D cad data are analysis software (CFD, Structural, Etc) and CAM software for manufacturing. I didn't get a sense that GLTF was looking at that space at all when it was being developed.
Yes, but why wouldn't NPR publish what they have? I'm sick of news organizations hoarding documents so they can report on the contents. Redact any information that might identify the source and release it, otherwise the news value (and by proxy, the credibility of the investigating outlet) diminishes substantially.

Downvoters: the NPR article says they have obtained a copy. It's in the second sentence. So not publishing is a matter of choice on NPR's part.

> The majority of the EV market is high-end, luxury vehicles.

That's false.

> It exclusively benefits low volume, high margin EVs.

That's also false. It benefits high margin vehicles regardless of volume and high margin does not necessarily mean luxury.

> Meaning if you sell more than 200,000 cars you no longer get the credit.

That's also false. Crossing the 200k mark starts a phase out process that takes a year.

So if GM managed to produce and sell 10 million ICE cars in the United States in 1 calendar year, the buyers would all receive a tax credit.

As yet, no manufacturer has reached 200k sales in the United States. Again Nissan leads the pack but has yet to reach the 200k mark.
>When does this bubble burst? And, what is it going to look like? 100k people in a single day is crazy to me as a layperson, but if this was to be compared to a stock run (disregarding dilution) what type of alarm bells should be ringing for those with the most to lose? Or, are we past that point now?

Well we'd need to figure out what would trigger a sell-off and whether that sell-off could be sustained. I've got no clue what would trigger a sell off but for whether a sell-off could be sustained, I'm not sure, there are lots and lots of true believers at this point. I think there could be a really interesting psychological dissection of investors in BTC and other high volatility assets because there's a sort of annealing of their risk attitude where every dip is a buying opportunity, the risk perception of people like that might be completely different from someone like me with no stake in BTC.

Not really no. Most VCs and frankly most angels would not invest in a startup without a validated product - validated by revenue. The exceptions are usually where the team is being lead by a founder who has previously had a successful exit or worked as an executive inside the startup's target market. You might agree to build an MVP more for your own curiosity/experience. Consider making a bright line in your agreement around when they get customers. At the point you will carry a lot of responsibility and accelerating demand for feature improvement by default.

I'm not into FUD because I like the technology and I have money in it -- but come mid-month you might see some heads turn at the 2x fork. I haven't been following closely to what community tone seems to be, but if there ends up being a sudden correction because of the split, it will be interesting to see what happens. It bodes well for the tech itself, but it might shake a few weak hands pretty good. Especially if they're just getting in now...
Music sells fine with DRM too, so do games. Not sure what your point is. I showed you that EMI offered an option with and without DRM. We know the results. Do you have examples where DRM and non-DRM products were offered, and users overwhelmingly chose the non-DRM product? I'm genuinely curious to see if it has ever happened and how successful it was.

In any case, DRM is one of those things that I don't see going away. It might change its form. People have gotten used to the convenience of not owning digital goods and merely renting them, and companies have gotten used to making money off of keeping users running on their subscription treadmill.

The easiest way to combat DRM is to start gofundme / indie gogo campaigns, where the developer gets paid upfront, and that way they don't care about DRM since they already made money.

> Do you think this is a good idea?

Absolutely not. Coding for equity is essentially working for free since you have ZERO idea of when or if their business will be profitable enough for an IPO or a sale. And since literally anyone can claim to have a Facebook killer in their head these days, literally anyone can claim that they have a startup (IIRC, you don't need to file any sort of paperwork to be a sole proprietorship in the US).

Best case out of all this is that they pay you as an independent contractor. But even then, it's probably going to be a lot less than what you'd earn in a truly paid role. And you're withholding taxes on your own, so there's that issue. And the business owner(s) could still probably claim taxes as sole proprietors since you were never really employed (read up on contractor classifications). And etc, etc, etc...

Again, just don't do it.
