Definitely true. "Terrible" here means longer engagement, when what we want is efficient engagement. But efficiency has little time for ads...

(Side note, your comment read to me like something Douglas Adams could have written about bureaucrats on a far away planet. That twist at the end that summarizes the entire issue in a few words. Well done!)
I'm pretty sure those are his ideas ;)
Both are important.

They haven't ramped up automation yet, so right now they're burning the midnight oil on both regular production (i.e. likely with a similar labor/automation mix as typical manufacturers) AND tuning automation. Trying to do both simultaneously on a compressed timescale is what makes this hard.
That doesn't make much of a difference, given how fast the plane moves.

Being accurate enough in turbulent weather to catch the hook seems to be the main problem.

> Either update RHEL6 or keep using the version of C++ that is supported on your OS. It's really that simple...

Or switch to Windows: Here you can use about any version of C++ you want (just e.g. install the respective version of Visual Studio that supports your desired version of C++). No need to pay attention which version of C++ is supported on which Windows version. :-)
I don't understand how long will this bullshit continue. At the moment your average phone can technically support more than 16GB of RAM (LPDDR4), but not Intel's laptop CPUs. Is there some kind of massive obstacle that we don't know about?
Crediting technology platforms with the Arab Spring is a really misleading and troublesome narrative that a lot of people blindly accept.

"Credit" confuses causal importance with (human) responsibility.

Normal Borlaug engineered a variety of wheat that fed a lot of people and saved a lot of lives. What deserves credit? The wheat or the inventor? Or Mendel et.al, for pioneering the principles of genetics that Borlaug used in his work? Even if "someone else would have done it if Borlaug didn't", he is still (one of) the most important human actors responsible for averting the crisis. The materials/products used are causally important; not humanly-responsible.

In this case, humans were responsible for the Arab Spring. For the most part, social media platforms were causally important to the process.

It gets much harder to draw that line, though, when the platforms are behaving in activist ways (e.g. $literally_any_technology_headline_in_the_last_week).
Yes I am hoping to see Pencil support in developer tools. The Pencil does work for clicking on things and selecting text but unless you need to draw or use handwriting it doesn’t work that much better than a finger.
Edit: nevermind, thought it was paywalled as the CTA is to pay, but there's a second link on the side to download the PDF.
In retrospect, they might not want credit for the Arab Spring either.
It's easy for me to think "first world problems", but that's the aim off such clickbait-ish articles after all.

Hopefully this boredom will lead to the end of the society of the spectacle and commodity fetishism (bringing with them consumerism i hope).

Maybe this will result in a new approach towards entertainment, how to socialize between peers, art; it would be amazing if boredom would lead to a renaissance driven by science and helping others - let's see

Because your preferred allocation might not produce updates at Facebook's desired frequency. FB's revenue is directly related to manufactured urgency and FOMO.
If you read the article you would know that I have a Chromebook Pixel LS, and that has been my main (only) computer for almost three years. I still use it for things the iPad can’t do, or can’t do well enough.
There's a hard limit to what I as a user can reliably express in terms of explicit rules. I have a cousin I was pretty close to growing up. She mostly uses Facebook to post anti-vaccine nonsense and occasional bits of thinly-veiled pro-Trump propaganda and BS "stories" from the alt-right. I "unfollowed" her a long time ago, but it would have been nice to see all the updates she posted when her dad had a stroke.

I need an algorithm for that. There's no good way for me to say, "I don't want to see all the stupid shit she posts, but please show me important stuff" because I lack the ability to rigorously define "important stuff". And it's unreasonable to treat her unwillingness to personally text those updates to every single person she knows.
Calling Model 3 a luxury vehicle is rather a stretch. Even Model S lacks things Hyundai one third the price has.

While no other company can come close to Tesla in selling half-baked (or altogether nonexistent) stuff to the gullible, packaging Panasonic batteries in an overpriced golf cart isn't something that any company that knows how to actually build cars would be particularly concerned about.
I wish we could find a way to apply the model of the vending machine to mass commerce.

A vending machine doesn't make notes of who buys its products. A vending machine doesn't keep logs of its transactions or of the payment methods used. A vending machine does not make "recommendations" of what the consumer might like based on their past purchases. You give the vending machine a dollar, it gives you a soda. The transaction between consumer and vendor is done, and no tangible evidence of the transaction remains, other than the exchanged goods.

But we haven't figured out a way to scale the vending machine model yet, because when the machine gets stuck and fails to dispense its product, the consumer gets an attendant to help or kicks the thing a few times in frustration and walks away, because the lost dollar isn't worth the hassle. If someone paid $1500 for their laptop, however, they're going to want that convenience of being able to prove they purchased the laptop from XX retailer and be compensated if the thing is a lemon.

I'm not sure we can solve this problem, completely. But we might do better if we actively aspired to make our services more like vending machines.

EDIT: Yes, I'm aware that some vending machines these days can be paid by credit card. My university even had one where you could pay using your Student ID, which was linked to the balance allocated for your meal plan.
Another great use case is something like a mobile CAD/PCB/whatever design software. This is useful for contractor/consulting shops. It's super useful for them to be able to bring to client sites and be able work on "the real thing" right there. In that case they're still plugging in on the other side, but the portability is nice.
I am shocked by the amount of people browsing the internet on mobile/tablets. If you are not going to make the effort to get yourself on a seating position so you can actually create stuff efficiently, you 're definitely going to be bored because feeds are just other people's ideas and you can only have so many before you lose yourself.they should try a desktop machine

I wasn't attacking the parent or implying that was their bias.

I intentionally structured the response as a point about the extremely wide-spread criticism being directed at Tesla.

This: "The FUD being broadly directed at Tesla"

I inserted "broadly" for exactly that reason. I also intentionally avoided using "you" or similar (re-read what i actually wrote, you should instantly notice my reply is clearly not targeting the parent just based on what words I use), so as to hopefully avoid leading anyone to think I was claiming the parent was the source of that FUD.

Also known as reflection

And no doubt. Especially with people (myself included at times) peering and swiping through lists of content as we try to coax ourselves to sleep at night— traditionally an optimal time for reflection.

TDP typically scales as somewhere between the cube and fourth power of the clock speed if you're pushing the envelope (in the sense of running at frequencies where further frequency increase also needs a voltage increase). So having 10x the thermal envelope means you can probably clock about twice as fast, all else being equal.

> gives very good advice in one place for the basics.

And it's important to remember that these are the basics. I was able to perform a privilege escalation on a site (that I was supposed to be pen testing, nothing nefarious) by using a password of something like ' admin="true" password="'. This isn't something that an automated scanner will ever uncover; this list, which is awesome, is a good starting point, but not the ending point.
Well, it helps to remember that RFC 1178 is from the days of single monolithic mainframes. Today we've got virtual machines that do everything, so each server can legitimately carry one name. However, if you do call it "prod-app-web-7," then you need to make sure that it's a web server for the app application in production and if that changes, you need to spin up a new server instead of reusing the VM.

But, hey we don't name infrastructure sites "Site 1" and "Site 2". They're "Milwaukee" and "Austin" and "DR". So if we do that, why name them "EMC-SAN-1" and "EMC-SAN-2"? We're going to retire that name eventually and there won't be a SAN 1 anymore. And what happens after "EMC-SAN-9"? So, instead why not "EMC-SAN-ARTEMIS" and "EMC-SAN-APOLLO" and "EMC-SAN-HADES"?

There's a distinction between physical names and logical names, too. What kind of long term nomenclature planning should we have? Look at hurricane names. The NWS does that so people remember which is which.

Or maybe it was a lame joke by the CEO of a publicly traded company and as such totally out of order.

Intel Expands 8th Gen Core: Core I9 on Mobile
FWIW, I highly recommend using conda as a package manager for your own pure C++ packages. You can compile everything with the compilers they ship, and the only external dependency from your own system will be glibc.

Yes, it means you're using your own "mini-me environment", but you can share that environment across all of your C++ projects. As long as you build with:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,${PREFIX}/lib -L${PREFIX}/lib"

... then everything you compile ends up in the self-contained environment. Furthermore, distributing your build products to another user (or another machine) is as simple as:

tar -czf mystuff.tar.gz ${PREFIX}

Then your friends can take your tarball and unzip it in any directory of their choosing. The whole prefix (environment) is self contained (except glibc, which must be at least as new as the version on your build machine). It just works.

I believe he was referring to the NUMMI factory pre-Tesla, which produced about 6000 cars and trucks per week at its peak.

It does seem like Tesla will soon (3-12 months) eclipse that record.
We need new business models which depend on user-owned data, rather than treating privacy like a charitable contribution for saving the trees.

Instead of citizens sending data to the cloud, corporations can send code to citizen-owned devices where local computation can take place, with data only leaving via an open-source content inspection engine that enforces citizen-consent policy.
Originally Tesla was predicting to produce 5,000 per week in March 2018. The prediction was later downsized to 2,500 and now they didn't even reach that.

Investors have been funding Tesla so far based on all these predictions. I don't see any sign of long-term health here now that both targets have not been met.

It's not just owners. In fact, guarantee service can eat a lot of planned margin for TSLA.

Yes, it's very barebones right now, as the team has been focused on getting performance great inside of standalone headsets. We've found from early adopters of 3DoF and 6DoF standalone VR headsets that media consumption (videos, news, twitch, etc.) is the primary use case and unfortunately pretty choppy and poor today.

We'll absolutely build out the UI and feature set (especially WebVR/WebXR!), but wanted to release as early as possible to transition away from private builds, design, and feedback to public conversations with users, developers, and device manufacturers.

And obviously we're investing in more the ecosystem - we need WebXR fully standardized and supported by all browsers, tools, engines, and frameworks. We also need lots of great content and social experiences that work on the web. We and others are investing a lot in this space - it's going to be an exciting summer!

Tesla asked for volunteers to staff the assembly lines last week. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-29/tesla-urg...

I personally am bearish on this. If they worked so hard, but only made it to 2000 / week (their goal was 5000/week by December2017. They lowered it to 2500 this past week), then its all just marketing spin to make 2000/week look better, which is still missing their original targets.

Volunteer staff while cutting Model S / Model X production (and moving that staff over to the Model 3 lines) is not sustainable. They could do it for one week to pad out the numbers, but they need real growth to remain solvent over the next year.

Ignoring the 2000/week spurt last week, the other 7000 Model 3 cars were made over the course of 11 weeks. That's roughly 650ish Model3 cars made per week, on the average (when looking at it across the quarter). This is actually less than the 793/week Model 3 they did at the end of Q4.

Bloomberg estimates that Tesla's overall production has grown to 1000/week or maybe a little bit above that, which might be closer to the "sustainable" size (ie: not counting the volunteer staff + spurt last week).

I'd be surprised if Tesla makes 30,000 Model 3s next quarter (which is still grossly below their target of 5000/week by Dec2017).

Tesla NEEDS 5000/week. 2000/week is still very low and unsustainable for this company.

> "Tesla continues to target a production rate of approximately 5,000 units per week in about three months, laying the groundwork for Q3 to have the long-sought ideal combination of high volume, good gross margin and strong positive operating cash flow," it said.

This kind of incompetence directly endangers the privacy and security of anyone who does business with Panera. And it's reminiscent of the kind of incompetence that characterized the Equifax breach and other recent high-profile hacks.

Same thing with cable TV and satellite radio. 500 channels, and after a very short period of time you realize it's the same things playing on repeat. And very little of it has any substance to keep you engaged.

It's like someone with a lifetime supply of Hostess snacks saying they're hungry. "But you have all the food you can eat!" Sure... for certain definitions of food. When you've been used to getting that cheap and quick hit of dopamine but then suddenly you're not getting the same positive feedback from your brain, it's jarring. And eventually you have to find some complex carbohydrates that take time to digest. It's not as immediately satisfying as sugar, but it balances out the highs and lows.

The Web to me these days is a maintenance dose. Just enough to keep me distracted for the amount of time I want to be distracted for. But nothing more.

Even if you do link statically you can still run into issues like the std::string one you mentioned earlier. For example WebRTC builds itself with Clang and on Linux, at least as of last year, and I was having trouble with libc++ on Linux (stupidly I neglected to write down what the issue I was running into was, just that there was an issue) so I wasn't able to use Clang to build my project. As you can imagine that results in some fun because std::string and std::__cxx11::basic_string are two different things.
I think part of it is that mainstream technology has become so homogenized and consolidated. Both hardware and software.
