How does Musk's ambitious goals relate to manufacturing quality?

He made similarly over-optimistic predictions about SpaceX. They were several years late with their rockets and yet SpaceX crushes competition today.

If you seek some objective measure of Tesla's engineering capabilities, maybe the fact that Model S was named best overall car 2 years in a row by Consumer Reports should be more pertinent that Musk's tweets (http://time.com/3721049/tesla-model-s-consumer-reports-car/).
I did a project in Xamarin Forms. The toolkit kinda worked, but nothing great about it. Amount of bugs was amusing: bugs from Xamarin + bugs from iOS + bugs from Android. Certainly does not fill most of my points. Writing anything custom was pain in the ass, since you needed both Android and iOS knowledge to implement the renderers.

Sure it would be the best to go fully native and hire 3 iOS + 3 Android devs, but who will do this when they can have 95% of the same with 2 flutter devs?

I don't have any experience with Toyota. But it definitely happens at the German manufacturing plants I've been to. There is an established process for pulling a vehicle off the line and reworking it. Sometimes there are specific "backup" stations for a process that isn't yet proven to be reliable.

I mostly worked in getting new models and lines up though, so it may be something that nearly never happens after the first 5k-10k cars or so.
My understanding is that medically speaking, increasing your testosterone levels is something you can do fairly easy, compared, say, to dealing with the cognitive impairment caused by heavy metal poisoning.

People at ivies mostly just had a lucky background (if you look at the statistics based on income). I really doubt they work any harder. Even side by side you're not really comparing apples to oranges if you compare the amount of work a low income person has to do to get into an ivy and the typical high income ivy kid.

I'm not sure. But suppose you did it another way then: Questions that are poor are (instead of closed) moved to a holding area from where they will either never return, OR they are improved upon, will be reviewed, and can return - at which point they don't have the baggage of multiple downvotes and close votes. Because they are now "reborn".

The only thing I'm trying achieve is that the people trying to HELP the asker, and the people who are trying to close questions now work as quick as they can, simultaneously, but towards opposite goals.

If you read this article, you will at least understand the reason why they introduce such law.

With 1.6 billion people, it's common to see chaos when a single person doesn't follow the rules, that woman in the news is a typical example. She didn't get any punishment from the railway company, nor the police can do anything about her behaviour, simply because there is no such law exists. In the end, she got suspended from her job as a primary teacher!
It does seem quite a bit verbose for a simple print statement.

I figure out what you were telling me to do on the data recovery on laptop or desk top drives. I am now needing some advise on how to unformat old storage (seagate) devices? I also have a iomega small storage device that locks up when i try to extract files i put on it, the power & usb cord for it doesnt seem to work.
Yes, and I’d still go with “stolen” over stolen. This data was handed out, not stolen.
The funny thing about philosophy is that it concerns itself with concepts that anybody can make for themselves. However, it also allows for unlimited nuance and detail, so the difference can be compared to a freeway vs. backroads through the same area. There's no requirement to adopt any of it as your own, but the same way programmers often learn new techniques and language features, there is a continually growing world of concepts and ways of thinking.
You pay enough to get them, it would be more expensive to hire people without experience.

Also I combined prescription dataset with provider payment dataset and it allows to discover potential conflict of interest where provider got compensated by drug manufacturer (speaking fees, stock, conferences).

Good idea to make this data publicly searchable.

It’s not that difficult.

So anyone could search for his favorite doctor name and find how much and for which drugs the doctor billed Medicare for.
And how often, how much and when he was compensated by drug manufacturers.

> "Protecting" a question in the way you described would likely result in people claiming a question and then preventing others from answering it in a timely manner

I was being unclear: I didn't mean protecting it from other people to answer - mainly from downvotes and close votes.

That is: I want to say "I think I know what this asker is trying to ask. I'm take responsibility for editing the question to be up to standard and/or mentoring the asker. Regardless - it WILL be up to standard within half an hour so just HOLD OFF with the ninja downvoting".

Answer it if you want. Kill it after I edit it if you want. But don't close it as it stands.
Public universities are not profitable. Quite the opposite: tuition and fees cover only part of their operating costs; the rest comes from the government. In California, AFAIK, public universities don’t have endowments. Government funding of universities is seen as an investment in the state’s economy and in greater opportunity for all Californians. That’s the story at least.

Theoretically they should be self-sustaining on the large scale: education -> greater economic output -> higher tax revenue -> funding for education. Unfortunately that hasn’t really proven to be sustainable in California for a variety of reasons.
Also, China has a few hundred million people without adequate housing.

It seems to me like you don't understand the crucial difference between Twitter and Mastodon.

There's no such thing as Mastodon, a singular social network. Mastodon is a series of instances that talk to each other. A sysadmin running the instance can do whatever he pleases in his instance, including closing the registration, banning entire instances from communicating with his instance, and enforcing whichever rules he wants to enforce.

Mastodon doesn't deal with such issues at all. It's sysadmins running Mastodon instances that are supposed to deal with such issues.

It's more like reddit, where mods of subreddits have nearly complete authority over their own space on the social network, than it is like Twitter, in which a single entity is in charge.
Eh... maybe. But that is only an initial hire effect. Once you get into a big company, there is a salary band for each pay grade, so things even out if there is meritocracy.

Years ago, when I lived in the upper Midwest, I had fellow manager tell me he liked to hire engineers that grew up on dairy farms. "They know that they have to show up every day. They know that a certain amount of st comes along with every job, even great ones, so you might as well just spend a few minutes with a shovel and get it out of the way. They know the work doesn't get done by somebody else if they don't do it."

As a manager I've had the experience myself of convincing kids from fancy schools that, yes, I really do expect them to contribute to the less fun assignments, too. Only once did that not have a good outcome -- but that guy had other issues, too.
That would only be a reasonable concern if a terrorist could determine in advance which flight is going to be sitting on the tarmac for a few hours.

I don't really see how it could be that, since manufacturing in the USA is more valuable today than it has ever been, has a higher output than any other country but one, and more than some other continents, and makes up 1/3rd of GDP.
>> "The American study found that key chemicals in the oils boost oestrogen and inhibit testosterone."

I find this highly suspect. If the effect were significant, every trans woman I know would be talking about their essential oils instead of salt cravings and estrogen pills/injections.

Is there something to this, or is it another case of shoddy science reporting?
And Google, now a defense contractor willing to work on weapons of war to make a (bigger) profit, will gladly assist them.

They're themselves creating the incentive to do that, just as when they got into the content and content licensing game, they ended up creating the most aggressive content censorship system on the (free) internet, beyond even what the laws require. It's no longer a matter of "choosing to do the right thing". The (bad) incentives are already in place. Now Google just reacts to the incentives it created.

We're also supposed to "just trust them" that their secret AI Ethical Board, which can be replaced at any moment, also in secret, will do the right thing when things will go bad with its AI. They've already created the incentive to cheat by keeping that board secret.

Philosophy teaches us that there's no such thing as objective answers. All of us are beholden to subjectivity and perspective, which means we can't reliably judge whether something is objective anyway. Consensus is moot, and I'd go so far as to say that consensus is how you get religions.
Another possible explanation could be that animals feeded on an artificial monotonous diet and set free from predation pressure, start showing genetic/colour defects quickly. Similar colour issues happen with captive birds and fishes unless we provide extra charotenes to complete its diet. In the wild the diet is much more diverse and finding charotenes is not a problem.

Or that when the mice population increases the animals just fight more. Domestic mouse males fight and bite other males. Mother with litters will attack males also. More animals in the same place = more scars by bites, and this could easily lead to an increase on white (regrown) hair patches. A simple explanation that does not depend on human contact. Is normal in birds to create white feathers after a predation event to quickly replace missing ones and cover bald patches.

And another explanation could be that when the mice population increases, their individual size decreases because there are less food for each one (and different hormone interactions non necessarily human related). If we extract some of those mice and put it in a new cage subject to the same human manipulation but with a more diverse sources of food, would the average skull size quickly increase again? Would the animals with white patches decrease? I bet that yes.
I could see this framed as a useless regulation because of the free market's invisible hand which will take care of this by having customer focused airlines NOT holding the customers hostage and gaining more market share. Same as with net neutrality. But the thing is that from time to time people forget that the airline industry is actually a cartel.

On some early graphical computer user interface, I can’t remember which one, one could specify that the mouse cursor would “wrap” to the opposite edge. It was like the ultimate non-Fitt’s law configuration. I hated it when I tried it, I would lose the cursor and not be able to find it.
I totally agree that these new technologies are an improvement, and I have no desire to go back to SOAP/XML, I was just commenting on the statement:

An rpc system with a schema and code generation is a must for internal services.

Which seemed to suggest that gRPC is somehow novel in this respect.
It means that even their own developers fail at choosing the “right” UI technology from the supported ones:

How to hijack RDS and RemoteApp sessions without using any external software
Yes, but it means AMD will have to do the original work. They can’t use a CUDA to HIP converter.
No, I read the article, not the book. Apparently he does consider the other cities which are declining (based on a quick read of the Amazon description), but it isn't clear how much time he spends on them.

But this would belie the title 'Why Cities Boom...' and comments here implying that urban centers are destined to prosper compared to rural areas. The reality is that some cities prosper and some cities are more horrible than nearly any rural area.
It's how you see things on the basis of never having read any philosophy. It's difficult to see the value in a subject that you know nothing about.

While that’s definitely a factor, I wouldn’t umderestimate just how much shutting down expression rubs a significant number of people in tech the wrong way. Some will object on libertarian grounds, some will object on slippery slope grounds, even when the examples are obvious and heinous. A lot more will object to “shutting it down” when the line is blurry, or object to the notion of the likes of FB, Google, and Twitter as arbiters of what is and is not extreme.

I’m in the middle. There is a lot of obviously violent, vile crap on places like Reddit that needs “shutting down.” I’m unconcerned with the rights of child and animal abusers to freely express themselves. I’m equally unsympathetic to Nazis and white supremacists, but after that it gets a little hairy.

Are people in the “Drop The T” movement extremists? I disagree with them, but I don’t think they should be “shut down,” but plenty would leap at the chance. I think Peter Thiel is a blowhard and a prick, but I don’t think he should be censored. Who gets to draw the line? And redraw it? Who gets to say there is a line? I wouldn’t trust myself to do it. I’m not sure I’d trust anyone else either.

Maybe it really is better to have a free for all, than a free for none.

It’s virtually a contradiction in terms to say that a phenomenal property is purely relational or functional. If it were obvious, or even plausible, that phenomenal properties were purely relational or functional, then no-one would be worrying about their implications for the philosophy of mind!
Indeed -- you just need to take a look at the graph in the original article for further confirmation (the one-child policy was instituted in 1978, and fertility rate was in definite decline by that point).

Innovation is what requires a critical mass. You can learn from books, or nowadays from the internet, any skill.
But what makes you move thousands of kilometers to a more vibrant city is the opportunity to grow beyond the old trends to create new ones.

Your achievement is impressive, but it just benefits you and your employer. Innovation is copied and used by the community as a whole.
Qt has a built in table widget [1], which although it's very powerful, doesn't come with that many features out of the box. And neither does .NET (or HTML), because what you linked is a 3rd party component which costs a lot of money. Not sure where you could buy something like that for Qt though.

>"I hear this a lot but is there any truth to this?"

Yes. In fact its not uncommon for flights to run out of overhead bin space before the plane is fully boarded. The carriers have now started offering premium boarding which ensures that you will have access to overhead bin space.

It has less to do with the thread of losing checked bags and more to do with the now standard $25.00 per checked bag fee that nearly all US carriers have.
Unfortunately, it is realistic to assume that they can, because they can make a flight sit on the tarmac for a few hours. It's not that hard to get an insider in who can do that.

I'd say the real objection here is that planes are not all that special as a place where people gather. The reason planes (legitimately!) require extra security and concern is that they are flying missiles. (Even the ability to divert a plane is, at a national scale, not really that interesting.) If they aren't flying, they aren't really that interesting of a terrorist target.
If someone can tell me how to convince 20-something developers that this law matters, I'd like to learn. "Why are your fonts so BIG?".
Precisely. I would have been less charitable in my response. Most software development is plumbing. To say we're solving new problems all the time and then to set that in some unclear opposition to what structural engineers do... I mean, just like software, each SE's project is different and yet similar across cases. That's uninformative, to say that least. So if you want to contrast them, it's best to actually know what you're talking. Also, I always hated occupational narcissism. It's a sign of narrow-mindedness.

(Besides, the question about whether software development is engineering or craft is very much real. John Allen, John McCarthy, Bertrand Meyer and Peter Denning have all written interesting things about this subject.)

What's the uplift between your super accurate model and 1-r? What's the uplift vs a 50 node decision tree?

Also accuracy is hard to talk about if you don't have the whole distribution you are estimating from; which generally we don't... Many highly accurate models (in the sense of working on the test set and n-fold xvalidation) underperform in production.
This headline is a bit misleading.

They say their models are more accurate, but more accurate with what data? It turns out models are better than humans at predicting how people rate themselves on a personality model. So humans are rating their opinion, vs algorithms that are predicting what people would say about themselves.

So I wouldn't take those numbers at face value.

The external validity comparisons are more compelling, but still, its telling that self-reported data is better at predicting self-reported events.

It's entirely possible that computer based models are better at knowing us than humans, particularly since algorithms can pay far closer attention to us, but there's plenty of literature showing that we have the capacity for self-deception, so I'm not sure how good a ground truth you can have here.
One of the factors is that Berlin is more "American friendly" (not that other cities aren't) but its relationship with the US is more special
I used gRPC for numerous hobby projects during my undergrad to glue together binaries running in different languages (e.g. a simulation server running in C++ and a scripting client in Python). By passing around a shared data structure (Protobufs), one does not need to waste time writing serialization/de-serialization adapters. It is also useful for gluing together microservices.

FB's Thrift also solves the same problem, and is an alternative to gRPC.
