Okay - you're right. I'm surprised none of those show up in a title search. Reddit's search feature must be broken, because title queries are supposed to show even if the author is deleted.

So it looks like someone did make super obvious sockpuppets that posted some pro-Democrat content once. I still don't think you can generalize that to a trend - certainly nothing on the order of the Russian bots. If anything, /r/politics had a reputation at the time of being extremely favorable to conservatives.
Why are topological quantum computers more resilient? Do they handle the problem of decoherence better?
Exactly. That was the hardest part of making this extension... trying to decide what to strip off of peoples' profiles to get it to fit on a single page.
Their build quality problems are solvable. So are the production issues. These are not issues that will sink the company, especially because they are solvable and generally something to be expected during hyper growth like Tesla is right now.

> And this isn't even their biggest problem, which is that the cars are too expensive for the mass market.

How is Tesla's biggest problem that their cars have a very high ASP? Demand is not a problem for Tesla at all, much less their biggest one.

Now, if you think that Tesla should make a cheaper car, don't hold your breath. Elon has said many times that rather than make a cheap electric car, he thinks it will make more sense to make a mid-price car that can do self-driving to earn the owner money during off-driving hours that the owner can then use to offset the cost of ownership of a Tesla.

Yes it is a bold play, and it might not work. But Tesla's biggest problem is not that they make expensive cars. I'm not sure what their "biggest problem" would be, except for solving their current issues so that they could scale up more smoothly.
True, no one of consequence is offended by belittling fly over Americans.
My read of the study is that it more or less proves the opposite: the wage gap is the result of women having such powerfully different preferences that it shows up even when we know discrimination is impossible.
> If you are not taking about military gear then why bring up militarization in the same context?

I would assume because actually getting surplus military gear isn't the only manner in which police departments can get more militarized.

> I'm on the fence on this one.

What's there to be on the fence about? It's terrible and a infringement of free speech. But reddit has the right to ban it as a private company. It just make reddit look terrible and hypocritical.

But considering they are planning on IPOing, I guess they have to sell out.
edit: I'd like to see the downvoters deal in facts rather than emotion; Tesla is almost guaranteed to bring their burn down to a trivial rate by the end of 2018, it isn't a challenging leap from where they're at now with Model 3 production:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/07/tesla-q4-2017-earnings.html

Which part of it isn't looking good?

$3.4 billion in cash. $277m cash burn in the quarter (a dramatic decrease there).

43% revenue growth with the Model 3 barely contributing in the quarter. 10k to 15k Model 3's likely to be produced in the second quarter.

Build quality... you mean on the first couple thousand Model 3's? How is that surprising?

I'm not a particular fan of Tesla in any regard, and this looks pretty straight-forward. The pessimism is comical.

They could do a ~$2 billion equity raise any time - against their $58 billion market cap - and fund the company as-is for another two years, on top of the runway they already have, without missing a beat. That's assuming the Model 3 doesn't ramp up meaningfully and push them toward cash flow positive in the coming six to eight quarters.

How does 20,000 Model 3's in the fourth quarter sound? That's an additional billion in sales just for that quarter. If Musk avoids building another giant plant in the next four or five quarters, their cash burn will drop toward zero rapidly.
One issue is that the "new" left just can't get over open borders. It is in fact a major point of friction between traditional socialists and the more modern ones. The problem with that is as the article describes:

> Young workers must accept that our fate relies on our co-operation. If I accept an unpaid internship, I have undercut my generation. I have not only devalued my labour but that of my peers too. I am complicit in the denigration of my generation.

This same issue applies, as can be easily observed in any large city, to immigrants.

Having a fair labour market is fundamentally incompatible with free movement of goods (meaning we need to heavily tax your ipad if we are to have more equality) and with the free movement of labour (meaning equality and open borders are fundamentally incompatible ).

one might say, but not if we have worldwide socialism. That is right to an extent, but that effectively means that long as there are a few exploitative states we can't have socialism and fair labour markets anywhere else.

Needless to say, there is lots of propaganda about how it's "racist" to be opposed to large scale people movement, even though the economic reason for it is obvious in any large city : to enable the economic exploitation of the weak by the powerful.

I'm just hoping that at some point we can accept that "I want closed borders to improve labour conditions" will be recognized as obviously the non-racist opinion (and open borders, since it's real effect is exploitation of "the other", recognized as the racist option)
When you look at the current US President it's pretty clear that mutual trust and commonsense, once the bedrock of the country, has long since been displaced by every wo/man for themselves.

Largely this has been brought about by corporations first sending jobs overseas with wanton enthusiasm and then splashing cash all over Washington to influence government. Call it the paradox of thrift version 2.0.
> What interventions can be made to reduce this pay gap?

This is a scary question to me. Is making arbitrary changes to align the world more with your definition of fairness really a good idea? Isn't this the precursor to authoritarian/totalitarian thinking? People chose to drive faster, people chose to prefer faster rides, neither of these things are "wrong" in any way. The market is simply rewarding those who provide service which is most desirable. I'm not saying it's fair, but it's not unfair in a way we should try and control IMHO. Any human attempts to correct the arbitrary injustice/unfairness in nature are only bound to shift/perpetuate it.

Edit:

My point really is, nature is evil, but by making choices ourselves which harm others to decrease natures evil, we become evil ourselves. It's the classic trolley/surgeon problem. I argue it's better not to flip the switch on the track and let nature take it's course because otherwise you become the arbiter, and a murderer. It seems more heartless with the trolley problem, but it's conforms to intuition with the surgeon scenario.
Luckily in the free world we don't need "rights" in order to do things. In third world countries people are often put in prison for photoshoping their leaders. Hopefully this trend towards that kind of authoritarianism doesn't continue in the west.
So did Fitbit just decide that they didn't want that market to exist at all?

I actually use linux subsystem for windows for a few things and it works OK!

Otherwise, PyCharm + Chrome. I have VirtualBox for some VMs that I need sometimes (specific software that needs to be installed, etc..)

I used Conda for Python environments.
From a bit of reading, it looks like they do it with optimistic concurrency, probably at the expense of write throughput. When there is contention (writing the same keys) there may be a lot of retries.

It seems like a good solution for data that doesn't change too quickly?

Hmm. I'll have to read into that more.

I don't use any external libraries, I wrote all of the code in the extension, and the only external requests made outside of the extension are to Google Fonts, so I wonder if it'd be possible to infect this extension.
People always forget about ZeroTier's network flow rules. In a little text file/field, you have a full-on software-defined networking appliance, with filters on any kind of Layer 3-4 information, and a capability model. You could regulate a medium corporate network in about 50 lines, giving people capabilities as required or segmenting areas with tags. And it would work exactly the same whether laptops were inside the building or not. And you can do mad stuff like 'copy all TCP traffic with dport X to some machine running tcpdump'. The whole thing is a dream. I love it.

I personally use it as a replacement for AWS VPN Gateway using a ZT managed route and a couple of VPC route table entries. I detail that setup in my ZeroTier Terraform plugin: https://github.com/cormacrelf/terraform-provider-zerotier
How likely would it be that you could get that quantity over the border going South? Is luggage checked?

Assuming they could identify him from camera footage, he'd have limited options to keep an existing car or buy a car and stay in the US? It'd be a risk even buying a car in a friend's name.

Best bet might be to forgo a car, rent somewhere remote and informally with cash, and sit tight for a while.

Wow. And succinct enough that I’ll quote them in full:

ADULT PRINCIPLES -John Perry Barlow

1 Be patient. No matter what.

2 Don't badmouth: Assign responsibility, not blame. Say nothing of another you wouldn't say to him.

3 Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.

4 Expand your sense of the possible.

5 Don't trouble yourself with matters you truly cannot change.

6 Don't ask more of others than you can deliver yourself.

7 Tolerate ambiguity.

8 Laugh at yourself frequently.

9 Concern yourself with what is right rather than who is right.

10 Try not to forget that, no matter how certain, you might be wrong.

11 Give up blood sports.

12 Remember that your life belongs to others as well. Don't risk it frivolously.

13 Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are sometimes exempt.)

14 Learn the needs of those around you and respect them.

15 Avoid the pursuit of happiness. Seek to define your mission and pursue that.

16 Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun.

17 Praise at least as often as you disparage.

18 Admit your errors freely and quickly.

19 Become less suspicious of joy.

20 Understand humility.

21 Remember that love forgives everything.

22 Foster dignity.

23 Live memorably.

24 Love yourself.

25 Endure.

Wow, I haven't been following Nissan recently, but is that really their electric car? Looks terrible :(

To some extent though can you blame people for this form of cultural trolling? Some people will get violent with anger over what someone is wearing. Having the power to expose such a ridiculous reaction is probably very satisfying.
I believe this is called “type narrowing”, and no, Java doesn’t have this.
>Android security is Google's fault. Any kidding yourself that might occur through believing that OEMs deserve any blame for an update mechanism (or lack thereof) in a system designed by Google is pretty easily discredited

It would seem you still don't understand how Android is built. Google cannot update the phones made by other OEM's. OEM's download the Android source code, add their modifications and create their own forked version of Android. This is like asking Debian to update Redhat's Linux distribution. Blaming Google for the OEM's inability to update their own phones is disingenuous, but it does support your prime directive of disparaging Google every opportunity you get.

>especially when you consider it took Google five months to patch KRACK in the Pixel 2, when third party ROM authors did it in two days.

Those patches were provided by Google incidentally. Additionally, Google patched KRACK in Dec, 2017 on the Pixel phones. So where exactly did you get this 5 months?

>Also, Google's "reputation with security" needs some serious nuance: They are very good at preventing types of exploits they care about, but they are a literal joke when it comes to security that interfaces with submitted content and user choice. Consider that the Chrome Web Store is a literal cesspool of malware, and that a lot of websites blatantly try to force you to install extensions through the Chrome Web Store which steal your browsing data. Since extensions are permitted to request such a huge security hole, Google doesn't consider it their problem that extensions do it maliciously.

Could you point me to the malware on the Chrome Web Store? Since you claim it's a "literal cesspool of malware" it shouldn't be that difficult for you to point to those extensions. I look forward to those links.
Thanks, that makes sense. Definitely once we get to a certain size.
Surely there's a term for this? A company exhausts its resources blazing the trail for those behind it.
I recycle the same 60% of my wardrobe each week. And re-wear pants and shirts without washing them most of the time. But I do laundry every week, mostly under-garments and workout clothes.

I have some cheap clothes, which are functional, but my favorite clothes are all a step above. My 10$ Uniqlo t-shirts are much softer than my cheap multipack shirts. But I have a 40$ marino wool t-shirt that I love and one I don't like. Same with underwear. I have 2$ underwear that works, but is eh, and I have 10$+ underwear that is great, and I have 30$ underwear that I don't really like.

The Leaf has been in mass production since at least 2010, predating all Teslas but the Roadster, a limited edition vehicle based on the Lotus Elise chassis (edit) first designed sometime in 2004 or 2005(end edit). The Leaf itself first premiered in 1997 as a prototype at the LA Auto Show, and was sold in similar numbers to the Roadster over the next decade until the production model was released in 2010.

Why is Tesla getting kudos for something Nissan did first?

I'm a male at a tech company, and since the #METOO incident, I have taken defensive steps to ensure I am not embroiled in any career-ending accusations of sexual harassment.

I have:
- avoided directly talking to female coworkers other than "hello, top of the morning to you"-style greetings, unless I am forced to during meetings. I do not want anything I say to be taken out of context, whether it be a joke, a comment, or a discussion. It may seem cold, but this is my career and livelyhood on the line. To me, having female friends at work is not worth the risk of potentially losing my career.
- Never be caught alone with a female coworker unless the situation is being recorded, at least via audio. I record on my phone every conversation that is not exchanging pleasantries for my protection. My state is a one-party wiretapping law state, so I am covered legally.
- If I am forced to be alone with a female coworker during business travel, I bring a handheld recorder with battery life measured in days and record every minute of our time together.
- I do not offer help to female coworkers unless asked via chat or email.

These may seem like extreme measures, but even just the accusation of sexual harassment can cause the end of a career. I love my job too much to sacrifice it for the minor benefit of being friends with females at work.

I also find it interesting how I am supposed to be the one to #mentorher, when I am the only one set to lose anything in this exchange. I can lose my time, my job, or even my career in the blink of an eye. For what? So I can earn feel-good points from people who don't give a hoot about me and would surely mock me behind my back, were a female I was trying to mentor make a false accusation? Maybe I will have a brigade of people on social media release my private info to the internet, as has happened in some cases.

So no, Mrs. Sandberg, I will not #mentorher. I will not take all the risk for the marginal benefit of making female friends at work. It's just too dangerous of a position to take. As a non-rich white male, working in the tech industry, I can say I already feel hated for just existing. So honestly, just shove off, don't ask me to do any extra work while risking my career, and leave me alone to program in peace.
Not only, it's also a awful format generally.
First mover and Fast Followers, I think these are the terms your looking for.

Why is Nissan supposed to get credit for something GM did first?

edit: cute downvotes, but the fact is GM was the modern pioneer on electric vehicles.

"The General Motors EV1 was an electric car produced and leased by General Motors from 1996 to 1999. It was the first mass-produced and purpose-designed electric vehicle of the modern era from a major automaker"

You have to be incredibly out of touch to think people are going to want to rent out their personal car to filthy strangers to help offset the cost of ownership.

Europe is fairly backwards when it comes to free speech. A guy who made a silly video of his dog doing a nazi salute is getting charged in britain. Someone who criticized the turkish leader almost got prosecuted by the german government. Poland just enacted a law where if you call something a "polish death camp", you can be jailed.

Russia loved europe's censorship laws so much, they copied it.

For some ridiculous reason, people think europe is the bastion of freedom and human rights. There is a reason why these people gave us nazism and communism. Europeans have no understanding of what human rights and especially free speech means. These are american ideals alien to european shores.

" Their build quality problems are solvable. So are the production issues. These are not issues that will sink the company, especially because they are solvable and generally something to be expected during hyper growth like Tesla is right now."

Don't underestimate production and quality. It takes a lot of time and experience to get the supply chain reliable and cost efficient. This is not software where you can make changes quickly. You need tooling and production facilities which are expensive and take years to build.
Especially once more people start doing this the profit margins will go down quickly.
This is an interesting final opinion. Can you explain your reasoning? I’d like to understand more about why you dislike this?

This idea of altering images has always confused me. When I was a kid, I got a scanner and a printer. The first thing I did was take a picture of a Battletech Griffin 55 ton battlemech (a giant war robot) and replaced the robot head with that of my mom, titling it “Grifmom.” I thought it was awesome and she burst into tears and beat me terribly. I never understood why. And this didn’t have any nudity or offensive material, just a normal face on a robot body.

Perhaps this is related to your aversion?
Here is the money quote:

> We can explain the entire gap with three factors. First, through the logic of
compensating differentials, hourly earnings on Uber vary predictably by location and time of week,
and men tend to drive in more lucrative locations. The second factor is work experience. Even
in the relatively simple production of a passenger’s ride, past experience is valuable for drivers. A
driver with more than 2,500 lifetime trips completed earns 14% more per hour than a driver who
has completed fewer than 100 trips in her time on the platform, in part because she learn where
to drive, when to drive, and how to strategically cancel and accept trips. Male drivers accumulate
more experience than women by driving more each week and being less likely to stop driving with
Uber. Because of these returns to experience and because the typical male Uber driver has more
experience than the typical female—putting them higher on the learning curve—men earn more
money per hour.
The residual gender earnings gap that persists after controlling for these two factors can be
explained by a single variable: average driving speed.
Icelandic musician Jóhann Jóhannsson composed an album of music created with sounds created by the IBM 1401. This particular track also includes what seems like an audio recording of a technician going over the machine's specifications and some basic troubleshooting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPFAkBCizr8

>In 1964, a computer - the IBM 1401 Data Processing System - arrived in Iceland, one of the very first computers to be imported into the country. The 1401 has been called the "Model T" of the computer industry - the first affordable, mass produced digital business computer. The chief maintenance engineer for this machine was Jóhann Gunnarsson, my father. A keen musician, he learned of an obscure method of making music on this computer - a purpose for which this business machine was not at all designed. The method was simple. The computer's memory emitted strong electromagnetic waves and by programming the memory in a certain way and by placing a radio receiver next to it, melodies could be coaxed out - captured by the receiver as a delicate, melancholy sine-wave tone.
