You're really looking for info on adtech in general. Adtech solutions will typically use 1 or more of tracking pixels, iframes and javascript scripts. The key here is that all of these create a HTTP request to a service and includes metadata about you and the website you're visiting such as your IP address, whether you're logged in, what the product you're looking at is. With this information, adtech companies can see a geographic area where you travel/live (by doing an IP to geolocation lookup), what your interests are etc. Often they're getting additional metadata depending on the permissions enabled (esp for phone apps). Other things that are done to identify you is to create a fingerprint of your computer (what cookies do you have, what OS, what apps are installed). Take a look at https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2017/02/now-s... for more information on what goes into that.

The big difference is that today all that data can be correlated together and used to serve relevent ads (or do whatever)

You need to factor in future profits, where Tesla is the strongest player for electric cars, autonomous driving (the first multitrillion dollar market) and benefits of the Musk ecosystem (Boring company, SolarCity, Hyperloop)

Ford isn't really one of the car companies that looks like it will remain relevant in 10 years time.
Neat! Thanks and welcome.
We need to solve the problem of companies gobbling up consumer data by means of "connectors". Remember back in the day when social was just a place to write on walls. Now people use it as their identity/email on the internet. It's like Walmart in that regard, the giant mega corp is just all too convenient to resist. We need more innovating ma' and pop shops on the internet if anyone other than ourselves will be stewards of our data in the future.

4. M for Move tool
5. Move

Please educate me how to make that 4 times faster with Pinta.

all puts, all well out of the money, so yeah, lots of people are hedging on a severe downturn within the next year.

Having said that, Short interest is right around its average over the past year, so I guess you can infer that investors are sick of getting their face ripped off by shorting the stock and are willing to pay option premiums to get short exposure.
I find it amusing that here we have all the corporatey buzzwords - "DeepMind WaveNet Technology" - but the other thing is called Tacotron.
He's been a long-time Tesla short-seller, so this may well be just seeing what he wants to see. It doesn't mean he's wrong, but if Tesla sees themselves running out of money in 3 months they must have a plan lined up already. No company that size would just ignore the issue this late in the game - they'd be raising money from sale of stock, which they don't seem to be doing, or from selling bonds, which they don't seem to be doing. My guess is that means they have private funding lined up to cover the shortfall (if indeed he's right in the first place that they will run out of money in 3 months - which I don't think we should take at face value.)
I had an idea this morning for a personalised "podcast" that could read out e.g. the weather in your area, any new and important emails, the headlines and first paragraph of top stories from your favourite sources and notifications from social media.

I think this is the missing thing that was needed to make this viable.

> Thompson manages $25 million and his Tesla TSLA, -0.42% short is the fund’s biggest position. To be fair, he’s been betting big against Tesla for years, which, of course, means he’s endured some brutal stretches.

Unless I'm missing something, what this article really means is nothing new to see here...?
I'm not a heavy GIMP user, but I've found that the macOS builds from Partha's Place work better than those from GIMP's website. They are compiled from the development source every few months.

Looking at the article again, that may be a fair interpretation. The Pew Research Center's article[0] from which one of the graphs is lifted says "white men are often used in comparisons such as this because they are the largest demographic group in the workforce". So the point of comparison seems to be on the basis of the size of the demographic rather than availability of past data.

It also notes a possible reason for the gap: among adults ages 25 and older, 53% of Asians have a bachelor’s degree or more versus only 36% of whites.

Am looking forward to the book. Read the first one in the early mid 2000s and it changed my view of programming forever. Java in the modern climate isn't the best choice anymore to do this.

The move to a less class-centric approach is a much needed and welcomed shift. It helps to illustrate the spirit of the pattern or technique without getting weighed down with the restrictiveness and arguably dogmatic nature of java.
Maybe some car company will buy them and make them into their electric car division, especially ones that haven't invested that much into electric cars and now feel a bit behind. The only thing is, it is not like Tesla got any special technology, Tesla is more of a marketing scheme, but branding and marketing certainly worth something, not sure how much though.
Does that include SCL and Emerdata and any other entities in this intentional warren of shell companies?

Even more recent changes have made this better too. The research in the paper only goes up to Apr. 2017 or so. Since then, the "recent zone" has been a) reduced from 5 days to 3 days, and b) more recent zone mixins are included. We haven't quantified what improvement that makes, but it should help.

"Their actions and statements really lead us to conclude as much, yes."

Facts, please.
Apparently I was mistaken. They don't just make a weird hydrogen isotope. They make plain-old hydrogen. 4 protons become 2 protons and 2 neutrons. The difference in mass between a proton and a neutron is 2.3×10^-30 kg. So, naively, you'd generate 4.1×10^-13 J per helium atom. Or, roughly 11 GJ (3 Mwh) per litre of helium at STP.

Seems a little low, though I suppose 1L is only 1/5th of a gram of helium. I still might be missing something, too.

Sun didn't just license the rights to the Java IP, but as a supposed standard established by the JCP, a farce of a standardization body that never was.

Yes it was about cost, but the cost would have been far greater then the licensing price ;-)

What if the person who gleefully shared everything on social media, and the person who hides their trail actually are different? People change their beliefs and spending habits all the time. It why we look back on our own writing from years ago and cringe.
The fun thing is that even MS admitted it break non-PAE kernels and pre-SSE2 processors (in the most recent one). I have been fighting a similar bug in one of the Jet 4.0 patches for a while now.

Just like all the vendors selling commercial JDKs for the embedded market.

They also offer customized versions fine tuned for their deployment scenarios, doing Java bytecode to either native (AOT) or their own proprietary bytecode format when generating the firmware image.

Or for example, IBM Java running on IBM i mainframe, where Java bytecodes used to be translated into the TIMI bytecodes, just like any other IBM i application.
In the EU you can.

That's all true. Equally, people cancelling Model 3 orders have found getting their money back taking many months - it does seem like they're managing cashflow very tightly.

I would find it unlikely they don't have a plan in place, too. They desperately need to get supply up and moving though...
Yet they didn't specify how much current the cell produced, which makes the 110 Volts claim completely irrelevant by itself. I would get a 10 Volts at 1 Amperes cell any day over a 110 Volts at undisclosed amount of current one.

Current is important as much as voltage. A slipper and a carpet would generate thousands of Volts at very low current as well; by rubbing both feet on the carpet one would generate roughly twice the current, and a crowd doing the same would raise the current by orders of magnitude; still all that energy could not move a toy car by a single millimeter.
That research is undoubtedly interesting, but it rather pertains to the

As my sibling says, it was there before me. Ruby and smalltalk also use this syntax, so it’s not without precedence.

As for lifetimes, that syntax is from OCaml, though they use it for something else. “life” and “lt” seem too short, “span” is overloaded. We tried to explore options but none were clearly better, so we kept what we had.

This is intriguing, though personally I never connected much with Fowler's writing in the past (though I have gotten into his ideas).

Actually, thinking about it, maybe what I'm really looking for is something for designing/architecting things in dynamic/weakly typed languages... (Been doing JS for a bit now, but I spent much longer in Java before).
> Tesla, without any doubt, is on the verge of bankruptcy

Haha! "Without any doubt". Okay, sure, Mr. Future Predictor. He gives it 4 months. This is silly doomsday insanity, Apple-will-be-bankrupt-soon kind of hilarity.

Tesla's not going away and certainly will not be bankrupt. This dude thinks that the entire financial world will abandon Tesla completely - but that's just not true. Tesla could raise as much money as necessary for as long as necessary and Elon knows it. This guy doesn't because he's old and curmudgeonly and stunk in his ways without at all understanding what drives people and investments today.
Security is hard. I don't think I'd have the stomach to work on kernel or encryption code.

Maybe it's more accurate to say that Tesla is the strongest for electric car technology development (and mindshare?), but is the weakest at manufacturing cars? Whereas a player like Ford may be excellent at manufacturing cars (personal opinions aside) but is not perceived to have the same electric car technology.

Maybe the battery capacity alone is the differentiator? If Ford wanted to start rolling out electric cars, they'd need a lot of batteries, and from what I understand Tesla may be the front-runner in high capacity, low price batteries. That is, until the requisite rare-earth metals are monopolized by a hostile (economically or otherwise) nation and squeeze rent-seeking profits from the electric car boom (fad?).
> A lot of software in science and engineering R&D seems pretty bad. Even the firmware/user interfaces to some instruments are terrible, like ease of operation is an afterthought.

nobody shops for a $250k scientific instrument on the basis of the control software, unfortunately. it's all about the machine's resolution or speed or something compared to the competitors.

or even just what you're familiar with from your previous laboratory.

> Then you have giant turds like LabVIEW by National Instruments who really should know better. I really don't know why it is so popular.

they dump a lot of money into undergrad lab/education. or did, anyways. and 20 years ago if you just wanted to pull some one-off analog sensors into a PC for an industrial process (without being an EE), NI hardware/software might very well have been the cheapest/easiest/fastest way to do it.

"Yes. They focus on features _they_ care about, not what users care about. The features announced in this release are good proof of that"

I feel almost sorry about wasting my time replying you, because you can't even read the first two paragraphs in the release notes.

2.10 rc1 is not about new fancy features, it's about fixing a shit ton of bugs and adding stuff that improves reporting bugs and making GIMP more stable and responsive. Try wrapping your head around that.

"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 :)

Oh my goodness I've been looking for the name of that game for ages. I loved it (including the hardcore element of it). Though IIRC I too had merely the shareware version.

For people who like CCG and roguelike, I can highly recommend Slay The Spire [1] as it combines the two in an easy to learn, difficult to master game. Its been developed and tested by Android: Netrunner players (CCG-wise I only ever played the orig. Netrunner and MtG in the 90s, orig. SWCCG, and recently Hearthstone). The game is what I wish Hearthstone would've been, and I haven't had so much fun for 16 EUR (compare to Hearthstone...). Its available early access on Steam. Third character isn't yet available.

Right now, those annotations (attributes in Rust parlance) are only made available by the compiler, but this year, the feature Rocket uses to define your own will be stable. You write a function that takes the code as input and produces code as output, to put it in the simplest of terms.
My iPhone started telling me that the app I wanted couldn't be downloaded. I wasn't trying to download anything. I rebooted it. Turned on my Apple TV an hour later and it said the same thing.

Figured at that point it was an issue with Apple web services.

It makes a bit more sense if you think about Tesla's valuation as a bet on future potential. Ford will probably stay at about the same size and make the same kind of money, at least for the foreseeable future. Tesla on the other hand is more of a gamble, who could end up being extremely big if things pan out for them.

And at least right now, investors seem to think that Tesla will become wildly successful eventually. Will that actually happen? Who knows.
Is it possible you have the causality reversed here? What if Thiel's confidence was born of a conviction, backed by research, that he could help swing the election for Trump?

> China's actions regarding Taiwan are nonetheless absurd because it was basically a colonial possession of the Qing Dynasty, having not been part of China before the 17th century, so China has no serious "historic" right to claim it aside from nonbinding agreements

Again, a viewpoint I entirely agree with but one for which you are making an awful argument. What became the US was not colonized before the 17th century, either.

We can oppose China’s actions regarding Taiwan because a majority of the Taiwanese people don’t want to be a part of China, not because there is no “historic” claim. If the absurdity lies in the lack of history, then it would be absurd for us in the US to support Taiwanese independence yet not return all our land to the Native Americans. Characterizing China’s position as “absurd” is self-defeating.

Also, you write that you’re responding to coldtea’s claim that China has taken no aggressive actions towards the US, but that is not at all what they wrote; rather, they wrote that it has “mostly been western nations doing things to China”.
> Facebook are war criminals. There's nothing more to it.

It is entirely unnecessary to jump to extremes like that. There are gradients and nuances here.
That would make a truly interesting development, like body movement tracking and other sensing technologies. If that's the direction, then I agree that power generation becomes irrelevant.
Just dropping in to say you are completely correct. It is called "maximum munch" and mandated by the C spec. I recently wrote a toy C compiler and was confused until I learned this.
Clean-room reverse engineering produces an implementation that is not a derivative of the original implementation. But if the API itself is copyrightable as a separate work from the implementation, then you have to consider whether the API of the reverse engineered implementation is a derivative of the API of the original implementation. The answer to this question is rather obviously yes, since the reverse engineering process is all about separating the API from the implementation and copying only the former. Clean-room reverse engineering is only useful in a world where APIs aren't copyrightable.
That's part of what makes the name great, though. It comes with both references to great scrying power, and admonitions about the inherent risks.
I think Thiel supported Trump because Thiel thought Trump was a better candidate, and Thiel wanted Trump to beat Clinton.
