Most the IT Managers / Directors I've worked with were never from developer backgrounds. They were either an "IT Guy" that stuck it out or the "network guy" who's extent of knowledge is seemingly plugging in a network cable.

Between that and the fact most established businesses I've been in still treat IT like it's a necessary evil and waste of money, I'm not remotely surprised when stuff like this happens. My current company had a data breach, the IT Director swept it under the rug. I contacted my attorney for what I'm required to do to (to cover my ass). I emailed my managers and moved on down the road.
> In my mind, equal pay is for people doing the exact same job, and the exact same number of hours, but that just my interpretation.

I find that hard to quantify in many professional settings. Say Sally and Tim are both project managers. They have basically the same education and experience levels. But Sally has more tact and is more organized. So she gets all the complicated and risky projects. Should Tim and Sally make the same? I'd argue, no.
Perfect use of the .me ccTLD :) Also clean and useful, nice job.
The "leaks" on email this last week have changed the narrative a lot. The leak last week (probably not planned) of "prove the haters wrong" resulted in a sell off, while the leak over the weekend cushioned the final numbers.

That said, TSLA, just like SpaceX plays really close to the edge with equity and risk in pursuit of a vision. What most Tesla shorts fail to recognize is that Tesla has already gotten to the point that if something really really bad where to happen, any number of well capitalized tech firms would scoop them up in a instant (looking at Apple in particular). The cars are really a minimal amount of hardware, with software wrapped around them. They have loyalty like the iPhone had loyalty and Alexa has loyalty.

The big bottleneck to this point has been battery assembly lines at the Gigafactory. They just installed a new line for the battery packing line that they yanked back from Panasonic. Now they need to prove they can start scaling more linearly.

The press reaction to all of this is a good example of the media not knowing what they are talking about. The press has issued breathless reports about there being too much skilled labor and parts by hand, then too much robotic automation. They point at the low uptake of reservation holders (30%) without noting that the reservations are holding constant, and that this is mostly a effect of only the most premium of the premium going on sale right now.

Tesla's barb on the Model T is interesting as well. "This is the fastest growth of any automotive company in the modern era. If this rate of growth continues, it will exceed even that of Ford and the Model T. "

What Tesla is trying to do is hard. There is a reason no one has been successful in doing it in more then 50+ years. Watching the people who are opposed to what Tesla is doing is just as interesting.

I'm not sure how you can say I'm twisting information when I cited 3 verifiable facts to support my statement. (You cited 0.)

«Anyone in the space»

You mean anyone on /r/Bitcoin, a heavily censored subreddit controlled effectively by one person (theymos and his minions) who is openly anti-Bitmain.
I used to be one of the people who poked fun at Musk and suggested people short Tesla stock (as the valuation is crazy compared to the production and penetration numbers).

But I am no longer that person. I read his biography (Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future) and this is a guy who genuinely wants to change things on a macro scale: opening up space, changing transportation. He is also a genuine risk taker, who will bet his own money and risk everything for something he believes in. I now root for Musk and his companies to succeed. I wouldn't take short positions on Tesla now.

Plus the deletion of the SpaceX and Tesla facebook pages, when told over Twitter they existed was pretty funny.
> But they can’t make me a buddy with Shaq, it’s not their job :)

This is what Facebook has always failed at, but where MySpace succeeded. On MySpace, I became friends with and met some minor celebs; no such thing has ever happened on Facebook (except maybe in its very earliest days). Facebook has never been about new connections, or even reaching a new audience; it was designed start to finish as a way to broadcast to a network that you already have. Unless, of course, you're an advertiser.
Fair enough, though I'd assume that to be considered IO and would very much expect to be a place which always yields.

Indeed. Given the number of down votes, either folks didn't catch that, or it's all the short sellers :)
There is more involved with landing on a carrier vs a land runway. The carrier deck is much shorter so the plane needs to grab the arresting cable and there is only a small window for this. If you miss it, you need to quickly speed up and take off again for another pass.

I second @tinker@infosec.exchange. Followed on twitter and was glad when they showed up on Mastodon.
>You cannot argue that all studies of complex topics are invalid simply because their topics are complex.

If you take a random sample of studies you can make a statistical analysis. You don't need to examine every cow to make an argument that there are no pink cows, but you do need to do a random sample. And that's if you only want to meet the highest standards of evidence. Much lower standards can be far easier to meet.
It's all one company. The reputation, stellar or tarnished, affects the entire brand. Their software QC has been bad lately, it's makes me question their hardware QC too. Those bugs/issues are often harder to find though - if they exist - they might not. But I think it's fair for me to question.

> Five hours is more than good enough

Was only a few years ago where any decently performant machine didn't get more than 3 or 4 hours anyway. Everyone has a different use case.
Different use cases: somebody may want a portable workstation, not a tablet with keyboard.

I am typing this on one: it's still technically a laptop, and I can still unplug it from the plethora of peripherals and take it for a walk - it's just that I rarely do that. Still, it does happen every month or so, so there's some value in the laptop factor. (Haven't moved my desktop computer for years, am using both; and on the road, the smartphone is powerful enough.)
Even for the relatively constrained case of booking urban travel that's not 90% the same trip over and over, there's a pretty complicated interplay of price, schedule, convenience of location, quality of hotel, participation in loyalty programs, personal time, etc. etc. [ADDED: And just personal preference.]

A longtime personal assistant who has your preferences really dialed in can probably come close. But given how much I sometimes end up fussing over even my own travel, it's really hard to see virtual assistants getting there anytime soon.
GM/Toyota/NUUMI would produce four times vehicles in the same amount of time in that plant. (about 120 to 130k/quarter, depending on the nuumi production numbers you believe)
Is that trend anything less of some "urban vegan hipster" concern, that doesn't even do a dent in global flights, where in fact, more people fly now, more often, than ever?

In other words, is this a non-trend, that only affects a tiny self-congratulating minority?

It might be a good thing, but until it is an actual thing, with mass impact and all, it's hardly an obvious critique on a new travel website that it lacks it.
Indeed. They say last week and next week will be ballpark 2K Model 3s, and that's good, but is that their new sustainable number or just an artificially inflated figure for this report? Their carefully chosen wording leans me more towards the latter.

But I hope they succeed in general and I guess we'll know one way or the other by next quarter.
It's vastly different when the person you're talking about is the main prophet/god of a religion.

There can't even be an argument about Jesus being a much better role model for an open society than Muhammad.

Muhammad was a murderer, held slaves and some argue that he raped women. Worshiping him as a person is at the very least questionable.
Shorts? Misleading? Never.

The game around Tesla stock is pure and simple speculation - by all sides. There is no world that justifies the current value of Tesla's stock, and there is also clear evidence that there is significant illegal market manipulation by shorts.. This is becoming more of a problem. Remember the fairly benign AMD "security" issue where it was discovered that root users could update security code? The announcement of that exploit came with a "this should drive AMD stock to zero" comment.

Just a little bit over oversight please, SEC?
My natural gas provider can't get my bill to print with me emailing them for over a year.

So their old 1990s site, worked fine. Upgrade to new whizbang bullshit and a steady stream of emails still can't get it to simply use a CSS print routine. Outsourcing is glorious!
>You say that women in their 20s are better at something than men in their 20s

I don't know what comment you read, but the comment I read said nothing remotely close to this. If you want to paraphrase what they said, it'd be more like "the very small sample of women I was exposed to in a small amount of time at one single professional workplace were better prepared for the job than the very small sample of men I was exposed to in a small amount of time at one single professional workplace".

That says absolutely nothing about men and women in general, no matter how much baseless controversy you want to drum up.
I hate to be /that guy/, but newer systems can run nix, which takes care of this stuff for you. I dunno about RHEL 6.
This would not be any better than women being payed less.
The entire premise of "equal pay" is that both genders paid roughly the same for the same job.
I'm not interested in a society devoid of compassion

That's a straw man, right? That's not what the poster to whom you were responding said.
That's why it's hypocritical. Same as not allowing Muslims to abandon Islam, but wanting to convert others to Islam.
A debt collector would apply since they have been contracted by a HIPAA-covered entity and the data they have likely came from that source. Grindr is completely unrelated to another HIPAA-covered entity and any health data you give them is solely your responsibility... so don't.
It seems in this case we are comparing apples and apples for their ability to be made into orange juice.
That's because people can ship dangerous things in the mail. The post office isn't controlling information sent in the mail.

There's a big difference between opening something up (many times needing a warrant, as your link says) because it may contain a weapon or biological agent or invasive seeds of a plant species, vs controlling what information is passed or not.
If women aren’t having the same access to more lucrative positions or fields that men are, then that is discrimination — in education or the workplace or both. Unless you believe that something about women drives them away from such positions/fields or makes them less qualified in such positions/fields, in which case you are in the Damore camp.
Why data scientists should master the small multiple chart
After they did their big push end of last year, they immediately down-ramped, and caught a lot of flack (rightfully so) for it.

I assume this is their way of saying, we have a sustainable rate here.

That said, the VIN numbers are rolling off at a massive rate. It's pretty easy to see if Tesla does that again.

Show HN: Twitter bot that tweets changelogs of popular front end frameworks
I think he's hugely underestimating the power of violence. Physical force can't break math, but it certainly can quite easily force you to surrender your key or physically take possession of any infrastructure. All the digital stuff he's discussing is actually very fragile and very dependent on a ton of complex infrastructure including but not limited to power and wiring, and all that is very easy to physically possess or physically destroy.

He's also forgetting about the majority of humanity. The other major problem here is inequality. If all the best and the brightest secede from nation states and go borderless and trans-national, that leaves the remainder of humanity to suffer in poverty. Eventually this condition would evolve into serfdom. Enforcement of a feudal serfdom relationship will require just the kind of totalitarianism that these cyber-libertarians don't like, and totalitarianism doesn't really work unless almost everyone submits to it. (Even the leaders of totalitarian regimes are subjects in that they are not free to oppose their own system. Kim Jong would be killed by his generals if he questioned his own system too much.) Failure to enact totalitarian control to enforce and maintain extreme wealth disparity will result in violent revolution. So your choice in the end will be submit to a totalitarian cyberpunk panopticon or be lynched by the masses that you have abandoned.

In short I do not think these ideas are viable as presented. This "cyber-Platonism" forgets about physical reality. Information systems are physical embodied things. Bits actually do take up space. "Virtual" is an illusion.

Case in point: Bitcoin, which he extols as an example of a borderless post-state information system, consumes a gigantic amount of energy that must be supplied by physical mines, power plants, solar panels, etc.

I don't want to totally dismiss everything Balaji says. It's definitely true that information technology changes the nature and balance of power. But he vastly overstates his case when he starts talking about post-statehood.

Not really. Apps that are signed with a free account expire after 7 days, which makes the free side loading pretty much useless. With a paid account, they work indefinitely.

I'm also a software developer and I also have a Linux/Mac mixed environment, and I feel no difference between the two.

To be honest, Mac does many things really differently. Yes it feels and sounds like double-think, but I do everything differently from my Linux desktop, and I can do the same things at the same speed, if not faster.

On the average, I use them equally, and can do the same thing on both.

One footnote is, I do not install anything via homebrew or anything massive which installs into depth of the macOS. For these stuff I have a Linux VM, which is fired up rarely.
Whilst I agree with you on all but mingw and cygwin, these tools are wildly different. Integrating microsoft's C/C++ toolchain into an existing makefile would be hell. And again, most people who have a mac don't have to buy the compiler. Most people don't buy extra software after the fact just to compile open source libraries. I can't imagine a reason to buy visual studio for personal use, and I can't imagine a reason as to why I'd dick around with visual studio in my free time.

As for mingq and cygwin, most regular people don't have it installed and configured. And cygwin and mingw are not _platforms_ which receive first party support, as unfortunate as that might be.

Desktop replacement laptops like that one are admittedly more mobile than real desktops, but the weight and thermals mean they can't be used the same way as a MacBook-sized machine: on a couch, on a plane, etc. They also can't last long on battery (the one you linked has a 330W draw on a 78 watt-hour battery?).

Expose a GraphQL Endpoint from Neo4j Without Implementing Resolvers
rickycook responded to this part with a proposal, but I have my own take on some of it:

For the "tied to a unique piece of data," that's why I want Bob to download lots of messages, hiding the fact that the person at 14.85.101.86 is the user with the recipient ID of ntULzh2AeEgPH9bKxrn3gUL. Bob should also be rotating his IDs all the time. Maybe they're single-use. And if Bob wants Alice to be able to send him messages, then he (out of band) has to give her a huge list of IDs he'll be watching for, in sequence. If they arrive out of sequence, he knows to be supremely suspicious. Also, yes, I recognize that key management is THE PROBLEM. And I'm essentially inventing dead drops. But in my defense, I'm trying to come up with a way to make it easy for a lot of people to use, thus making it easier for everyone to hide in plain sight.

For the "guaranteed expiration," I am actively assuming bad actors would download and archive all messages. I only propose a limited number of days to lessen the storage costs.

For the rotating keys, as I understand it, there's Perfect Forward Secrecy, but it's very chatty (think of it as "online"). There's also a weaker form of Perfect Forward Secrecy (think of it as "offline"), but the risk is that if the communication if broken at any moment, then you can't recover from within that channel - meaning you'd need to go back to the person out of band, and restore communication. I'm probably summarizing it very poorly, but my mental model for it is roughly, at the end of every message I send you, I tell you what new password I will use when I send you the next message. It's actually way smarter than that, as I understand it, but that gives me enough of a mental model to work with it as a lay person.
I discovered this library while looking for a nice GUI solution.

It's just awesome, the code is well tested and documented. I cannot NOT recommend this library for anyone who wants to be able to build both simple and powerful GUIs.

I don't understand why it's not widely used, so I decided to share it :)

Their critics are very loudly proclaiming Tesla is an immense failure, that the Model 3 is a failure, and that they're going bankrupt in a matter of months. The FUD being broadly directed at Tesla is astounding and reeks of bias of one sort or another.

The other major automakers are running years behind where Tesla is at today. That's where the embarrassment should be today: those automakers are still gleefully selling tens of millions of fossil-fuel-only vehicles.

Producing 20,000 Model 3 vehicles per quarter this year will be an accomplishment (even in spite of Musk's absurd prior goal). It implies they can push well over 100,000 units in 2019. These days they're being given little credit for what they are accomplishing. When they hit that 20,000 quarterly marker, the Model 3 becomes one of the best selling mid-priced luxury vehicles on the planet in its first year.
So on [1], there is an interesting question of cause and effect. Are women voluntarily taking inherently lower paid jobs on average? Or is it involuntary / due to social pressure? Or are certain jobs lower paid because they're predominantly taken by women?

The latter is at least a possibility.
Being a corporate entertainer isn't glamorous, but it seems like he probably makes a decent living.
> The big bottleneck to this point has been battery assembly lines at the Gigafactory. They just installed a new line for the battery packing line that they yanked back from Panasonic.

I like Tesla, but it doesn't give me a good vibe if they're blaming partners at this point.
The trick here is how to match men with women in order to make the comparison.

Do we group by job position, skill level, education, experience?
And what is "same experience"? In tech, it is usually counted in years, regardless on how many hours you work during the year. Compare to airline pilots where the metric is flight hours. The same kind questions can be asked for all other points. Even the wage can be tweaked. Is it by year? working day? hour? What about pauses, overtime, work at home, commute time, ...

By carefully choosing the metrics, we can say whatever we want.
Great work. Question, Product Managers don't naturally fit in your 3 pre-determined job types. How do I get notified about them?
