I mean I get what your saying and I agree that Elon's reputation and past success should skew the risk equation a little in Elon's favor. But the risk question is not "being stretched a little" is been completely thrown out. There is absolutely no logic to why a company that produced 100,000 cars/year for a total loss of 2 billion is worth 2x a company that produced 6,200,000 cars/year with total profits of 7.2 billion. (That is not even mentioning the 12 billion in cash reserves held by Ford). I love Tesla/SpaceX/Elon as much as the next millennial but I would not touch Tesla stock with a 10ft pole.
I really like Go overall, especially for systems work. But there's various quirks that hurt my day to day productivity, and I think they only exist due to stubbornness.

For example, why do unused variables and imports, a style issue, cause a compiler error? This is a constant pain if commenting out lines of code during debugging or prototyping. On the other hand, the compiler doesn't care if I ignore or forget to check error values - which is almost always incorrect behavior.
We have been reading a lot about Facebook, Cambridge Analytica and privacy lately and the general sentiment is that Cambridge Analytica did something wrong and Facebook was complicit or at least didn't do as much as it should have to prevent it. Lets visit the story from the beginning.

So, there was 2016 US elections. In those elections, various lobbies either funded by corporate interests or by international money took sides... as did major corporations to get their candidate elected. On top of that, the campaigns hired individuals and companies for marketing purposes. One of those companies was Cambridge Analytica, which first worked for the Cruz campaign and was later hired by Trump team when Trump became the Republican nominee.

What Cambridge Analytica allegedly did was that it used the data that it had collected from political quiz answered voluntarily by people and used it to target political ads. The ads targeted in that way were very effective, compared to the targeting done by the competition.

What exactly did Facebook do wrong here? They had a platform for making apps, Cambridge Analytica used that platform to create an app to ask users questions about their personality and political preferences and used that data to better target their ad campaign.

Basically Facebook created an app platform and Cambridge Analytica did their job well. So, you maybe wondering whats up with the news and privacy concerns and all this? The privacy issue has always been the same since Facebook was establised and any app platform that can allow apps to request permission to users data or ask for user input can make use of the data. So what is it?

It's another nothing burger like everything else you've seen from these clowns since November 2016. Democrats lost with all major corporations and media houses backing their candidate and they can't get over the fact that they lost because the people didn't want their corrupt hag as the president. So, they keep making stuff up.

I think you're too blinded by the US, which is not even close to the majority of the world in terms of population or land mass. Would you rather be a Chinese woman born in China in 1950 or a Chinese woman born in China today? What are the odds you'd have been a victim of infanticide then vs now? How about your potential for education, food security, holding a decent job, likelihood of being victim of violent crime, etc? Do you think that the potential for jealousy overrules all of that?
Average Internet Connection Speed by Country
AT&T launches the base of its FirstNet public safety network
The original estimate is for the proposal, and it ended up taking about twice as long. It was small, but not that small, IIRC Blizzard South did the multiplayer and the cinematics among other things (after buying Condor ) so it's not possible to evaluate the time estimate/team size estimate on its own merits.

They would have to get 60X bigger in terms of output to get where Ford already is and has been for a long time.

Can you point out where someone is complaining about this while simultaneously denying US policy along similar lines as you describe?

It's also weird that the What's App guy is on the board and just called for everyone to #deletefacebook.

I have had the misfortune of having to pull them out twice in my career - in both cases they offered little in the way of guidance for the particular situation that came up.

The set of unknown unknowns that are typically missed make most of them unless in all but the most narrow of cases, because many companies write them, and then forget them. Especialy if they are as large as intel.

Interesting! I'd love to see a thorough comparison with the Amazon Polly service...

https://aws.amazon.com/polly/

Polly is priced at $4 per million characters and the Google WaveNet voices are $16 (compared with the Google non-WaveNet voices, which are also $4).

After listening to a few samples from each service, the voice quality and prosody modeling seem roughly on par between Polly and WaveNet, or at least the differences I heard didn't seem to justify a 4x price multiplier.

But I'd love to hear an informed opinion from someone with more expertise...

Actually they can. Just take part in what's called the Int. Cinephile Society with a lot of older French folks showing up at the screenings there.

However, I don't have to wrap my head around anything, because my point is that I don't think GIMP's developer's priority are in line with its users. I have hardly seen anyone complain about GIMP's bugs and stability problems (actually on that front it's been working great since I remember), and lots of people installing Wine because they can't figure out the interface.

> "but if you look in a comment below there's a first-hand experience of how GIMP's developers are annoyed by usability and the fact that users would want a more usable software."
It looks made up :)

Since you've gone around the thread saying everything people post is a lie, can you actually state facts since you love facts so much? Can you link to a conversation the devs had about usability, where they were saying that it's important to them, their users, and a priority for the project?
I wonder for how long Windows as a software can continue to grow. I looked at the list of services, and its crazy. So much exotic functionality, and so many of what i don't ever need. Then the file system, there are even hidden folders managed by windows itself, that just grow and take up space. All that adds to complexity, and increases the probability for bugs. I wish there was a version of the OS that just shed all that unnecessary functionality and returned to basics. Something like a minimalist Linux distro, but able to run all games and office.
Sounds a lot like Kerouac's "On the road", that heralded masterpiece of '60s counterculture.

It depends on your meaning of functionally identical. In the hypothetical non-copied Android ecosystem, it could be functionally identical. In terms of interoperating with Java, no. But I fail to see the relevance of the latter point with respect to copyright. Copyright says: don't copy. If that unfortunately makes it difficult to leverage the existing Java developer base for your multi-corps next megaproject, too bad. Develop your own ecosystem.
Good luck getting states to change their laws anytime soon. Ironically enough, car seats aren’t required on buses not because they aren’t needed, but they would cut off the poor with kids completely from transportation.
nit: blog.pinboard.in is classified as individual
Before we cared about how many children were killed by cars, kids piling onto bench seats was standard. Car seats are only required because car crashes are common.

If the safety promise of self-driving is delivered, car seats will become unnecessary.
Every state has election laws and an Attorney General to enforce them. They have already taken an interest in Cambridge Analytica [1]. Palantir shouldn’t expect partisan protection.

If you are trying to catch your cheating spouse, I recommend that you contact the hacker that helped me monitor my husband’s phone when I was gathering evidence during the divorce. I got virtually every information he has been hiding over the months easily on my own phone: the spy app diverted all his whatsapp, calls, text, facebook, text messages, sent and received through the phone: I also got his phone calls and deleted messages. he could not believe his eyes when he saw the evidence because he had no idea he was hacked.. if you need any type of hack you can contact him.

I agree with that. If you think of geopolitics in terms of game theory, we've reached a relatively stable equilibria between the "big" countries (which of course still fight indirectly via proxy wars, including to this day in Yemen/Syria) due to MAD. On any regular timescale it's just so much more beneficial for every party to individually refrain from using nukes against each other, considering how much to lose there is in a retaliation.

Plus, actually getting rid of all the nukes would make warfare more attractive, which makes acquiring nukes desirable again. And no nation under threat of total war would rather lose everything than use nuclear weapons. So I don't think the equilibrium of nobody having nukes is at all stable: eventually one country begins to think about warfare, decides they need nukes, creating a power imbalance, causing others to get nukes too.

Though of course the flaw of MAD, or even game theory in general, is that it assumes everybody will be a rational actor. People are people, and if someone stupidly violated MAD against their own self-interest or reasoning on some bizarre hundreds/thousands of years timescale, we could all perish. There is a small but nonzero probability on every single day of our lives that we and everything we know will be destroyed by nuclear weapons. So far that day hasn't come yet, and there's no way of knowing how likely it is. But given that banning nukes on an international scale seems unstable anyway, I guess this is the best we can do.
> So, as a user I have to identify bottlenecks, now..? That would be my first question.

Please do pay attention. The release notes specifically describe who did that and for what purpose, and what's in it for end-users. It's all there for you to read. Just please pay attention.

I have begun to teach my children this, which conforms slightly to what you are advocating. However, my children will know they are blending into a dangerous mob, while you seem to advocate joining and promoting that mob as "a good progressive".

If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot
stamping on a human face — forever.

While you and I may both agree that this is likely our future, you seem to be cheerleading it, or at least, trying to get in good with those in power (a good communist), while I am still struggling against it. Again, if you look at history, it's not only those who fight the evil who end up marched into the fields one last time. It's often also those who tried as you, to "not be ostracized", but still ended up suffering the same fate as those who resisted.

That you almost threaten my safety if I am perceived as being on the "alt-right" end of the spectrum, should fill you with terror. You should remember that many of the people who started the French Revolution ended up being marched up to "the national razor" themselves when their faction split into sub-factions and they found themselves on the outside. Also, FYI, alt-right is composed of many Ron Paul type people, who HN used to like. That such people should fear from the mob is not a sign of a healthy society.

>But they refuse to tell me when my data has been compromised.

Yes, they will not share when your data is requested under an NSL until that NSL is lifted. This is stated clearly. Every other service provider is exactly the same way. No matter who your service provider is, they will act in the same way: possibly attempt to fight the order, turn the data over, and not tell you about it until the order is lifted. The only difference is that with certain end to end encrypted services, the data they hand over may not be useful (or it may be, metadata is often valuable and often can't be secured the same way). In other words, your super secure e2e encrypted mail service is still going to have to give user logs to the NSA, and they still won't tell you about it.

So if that's what you consider lying, then literally every company in the US government's jurisdiction will lie to you about when certain data about you has been compromised. In other words, such a definition of "lying" is vacuous, and I'd ask you to give an example of a company either real or theoretical that does what you ask.

>They also say that my data is stored securely, when it is not. That is lying.

This, once again, comes down to your definition of securely. Your threat model is different than the average users'. To the average user, their data is stored securely. (Note: I'm also not sure where this claim is made, feel free to cite the place you're thinking of, I expect that Google is quite explicit in what they mean by "secure").

>Additionally, there is no reason that they couldn't make it optional.

Elsewhere you stated that you believe Google has backdoored your device via Gapps and is secretly transferring your data to their servers despite your having opted out.

In this thread you've stated that you believe that Google " lies about what they do with data, or how they collect it", despite having no evidence of them either lying about what they do with data (as I've demonstrated at this point, they are crystal clear about what they do with data, you just have ideological disagreements with those things), nor any evidence of them lying about what data they collect (you haven't even provided supposed examples of this).

Am I supposed to believe that if Google did provide such a feature, we wouldn't be having this exact same conversation, but with you stating that Google's secure option was secretly backdoored, and they had access to your data anyway?
I have a Huawei E5573 (a lot of carriers give them out free with data contracts), however I'd just recommend using an old phone. The battery lasts for around 2 hours when tethered, and the signal is no better than a phone (although you can connect an external antenna).

> Fortran, C and Scheme: Sounds like an old system. Is it still running?

Still running. Last I heard, as I was only part of the team responsible for rebuild and first six months of deployment, (I trained a team of six whilst we built it, now they maintain it), the system is responsible for about 1/3 of Australia's transactions.

Partial rebuild of an old system, but I wouldn't choose anything else if I was doing it again.

FORTRAN absolutely floors anything else for number processing, except very well written assembly.

C was just a nice wrapper to join FORTRAN and Scheme together.

The Scheme in use was highly extended, with some givens like GC disabled, using a custom allocator, had the ability to take ctypes as datatypes, which allowed as to wrap FORTRAN data and pass it up and down without particularly caring what language was inspecting it.

> The conveyor belt controller sounds like an embedded project. Why Scheme?

The conveyor system was management giving me a chance to prove a language other than C would work.

So I used a Scheme that compiles to C, runs baremetal, and is as predictive as C, runtime wise. GC was not entirely disabled, as refcounting worked close enough to runtime speed for our measures. (A u14s pause exactly every 38s, from my notes).

However, the time to deploy using Scheme, was half the usual projections.
