That is inaccurate. They did over 2,000 last week and are tracking for 2,500 by the end of this week. There are groups on the forums and such that keep track of the latest VINs people have. Also I believe the goal is 5,000/week, not 10,000.
Not sure what I should be looking at here.
Are people at top tier tech jobs (FANG) so secure in their jobs that they aren't saving for retirement? I had two years of living expenses saved up after two years at my first job out of college making 63K. Yes it was a cheap city, but I decided I wanted to start saving early after I noticed tech companies had so few employees over the age of 40. No, I wouldn't be living grand if I had to rely on these savings, but it would get me by in a small apartment.
I've never researched a "historical" film or "biopic" and not found out that much of the conflict was added in to create drama in the story. Even many so-called "documentaries" do the same thing, such as King of Kong. This duplicity is taught in Hollywood as standard operating procedure. It is an industry wide norm that they care about entertainment above all else.

It's an interesting concept that Trump might actually go against conglomerates.

By the way I'm commenting mostly because I hadn't seen a digg link in several years.
> Blockchain is perfect for a digital currency

It's not perfect for that either. There have already been cases where tokens were stolen and blockchains were forked to recover them. The very last thing I want for my money is for errors and/or malicious acts to be permanent and uncorrectable.
I still use a wire brush sometimes, but it's a different type with longer stiffer bristles. There's no way one of these bristles is going to get accidentally lodged in your food. These bristles just don't fall out and if they did you would see it pretty easily. You have to use it a bit more perpendicular to the grates, but it works. http://a.co/gyIkCeK
It can raise doubts and suspicions with employers though. Why wasn’t he employed? Does he have a problem with work? Was he in jail? etc. Even if misplaced, you, can’t stop people thinking that way
And that constant bombardment has reduced the effectiveness of advertising as well. So it makes sense that advertising dollars would be distributed differently than they once were.
According to the article they're currently close to but not quite reaching 300 cars a day, which would put them closer to 2,000 per week.
I had a different reaction. It felt very wrong. I don't like how our culture worships money. It's bad enough that more college students see 'being very well off financially' as a more important goal than helping others (compared to other generations) [1]. If children are getting these messages at an even younger age, that's disturbing. After all, children are more impressionable. I want the next generation of children to know there are more important things than money. I believe children will be happier their whole lives if they're raised with those values.

Saying "It exists, it's a part of our culture" is such a defeatist response. Culture is formed by all of us. You don't have to just let it happen. You can push back, and work to change culture for the better. That's why I like your last bit - we can engage with it and teach from it. I'd expand that to include: we can disapprove of it.
I also quit fb in 2017. A large part was the arrogant attitude shared by many of my young peers like OP. Another factor was the over-sweetened coolaid. Fb is not the end-all, be all. It's a great place, sure, but there are smart teams and people everywhere. I couldn't finish the article.
The initial problem was solved. It couldn't be solved using a mundane DB.

Scaling is a separate issue. I don't believe scaling is even mentioned in the original white paper.
He wrote that before he wrote the article I linked to. Also, this article mentions some deficiencies of stabilization in certain circumstances but nowhere does it claim that it's useless.

This is just BS. I quit about 2 years ago, and am turn down recruiters quite often, very employable.

Stop trying to scare people on the fence.
Unemployable after 2 years? In what world?

People take sabbaticals all the time. They raise kids. They start businesses. They take care of sick family members. They work on personal projects. There are a shitload of reasons people take time off. And then they pick up at a new job.

Wasn't that goal already met by the EV1 back in the 80s? If you're willing to live with compromises (short range and long recharge times), affordable electric cars are a long since solved problem.
That's a good point I didn't think about. Assuming you are most likely burning some midnight oil at a top tech company, you'd be stressed to keep up a social circle besides your coworkers.

I think that plays a bigger part in it than we are thinking

Diagonal promotion is a real thing across Silicon Valley.

I believe it is because the company that currently employs you knows you relatively well, both your upsides and your downsides, it has seen your good code and your bad code. It has you, and knows your level of work, and assumes you will keep going, regardless.

Whereas the new company has much more limited information and, as it needs someone more, it has to take the plunge.
That's because you don't know anything.
Lyft is definitely doing it too. I take the same trip at roughly the same time 1-2x per week. After doing that for awhile, i noticed the price went up like 10-20%. When I adjust the locations just a few hundred meters from my usual endpoints, the real time price drops 10-20%.

Why is it crazy? You can never start retirement saving (and I'm talking outside of a 401K) too early. If you've worked at a top-tier tech company for > 5 years and been even slightly careful with your money you're going to have that much saved up without even meaning to. Exhibit A: https://www.thefrugalgene.com/dumb-luck-rich/
If we're going to get pedantic, it's more accurate to say that both the Kingdoms of Spain and Portugal were dynastic possessions of the House of Hapsburg from 1580 to 1640. Hence why it's called a "joint monarchy" or "personal union" in English - Portugal was never folded into Spanish state control, it was just another hereditary claim of the Kings of Spain, like the Low Countries or Naples.

In terms of real-world impact in South America, based on the sources I've looked at, the joint monarchy was pretty negligible. Brazil was in many ways an independent state long before it actually split off from the Portuguese empire, anyway.
Agreed. In fact, the opposite may be true.

If your company is working with outdated software, or ignoring software best practices like testing or security, or even if you've just started to specialize in a very narrow way, it can sometimes be difficult to translate the skills you're using there into other companies.

It's very common for people to start to specialize the longer they work at a company. You can end up knowing a few things really well, and not much else.
I think Trump really dislikes the aggregation of power in companies where it hurts small businesses, he's had that stance from his early candidacy. Im not sure why but he's stuck with that just about as long as he's stuck by 'the wall'.

I went back to Digg from Reddit a few months ago and have been really happy with it. Reddit has sort of turned into Twitter with a better commenting system, where as Digg just has interesting content and no comments.
He fetched a stovetop espresso maker known as a moka pot. “This thing,” he said, “makes a better cup of coffee than that one,” and he pointed to the Keurig on the counter.

Seriously, a true hallmark of quality. I'm not surprised.
Thing is, you don't need every job, you just need one job. It's not hard to find teams that are reasonable and don't get obsessed over traditional "red flags" that actually carry almost no useful signal.
I only use Lyft for personal reasons but FWIW Lyft almost certainly uses this type of predatory regularly trip pricing. As I mentioned in another comment, I take the same trip at roughly the same time 1-2x per week. After doing that for awhile, I noticed the price went up 10-20%. When I adjust the locations just a few hundred meters from my usual endpoints, the real time price drops 10-20%.
I had the same thing happen at a Burger King last year. I was lucky to find it in the first bite. After years of avoiding Burger King because of their consistent low quality food I finally said what the heck, I want a Whopper. But no. Fate is a cruel bird.
I'm using MemSQL's columnstore myself and the performance is nothing short of amazing. I migrated from Citus DB to it for OLAP workloads.

But for what reasons are you using Citus as well? Would like to know if I am missing something or hear another perspective.

Good. I was long tired of paying to be advertised to.

From the release notes:

- Fixes an issue on iPad Pro that prevented the iPad Smart Keyboard from working after connecting to a captive Wi-Fi access point

I was sure mine was broken while I was staying with a family member in a hospital, then it "fixed" itself when we moved back home. I'd love to read a description of what caused this bug, I mean "use a captive wifi portal" → "hard wired keyboard stops working until reboot" isn't really where I'd look for a bug.
This is the fact that I always come back to when I assert that I think Adnan is actually guilty.
The end of the article suggests that employees who don't "volunteer" to work on the Model 3 after the X/S lines have been paused will have to use PTO or otherwise take unpaid vacation.

That's unfortunate, but I hope your post isn't suggesting they shouldn't have named their product as they did.

Should people who don't like large numbers not use Google? Should people who fear fire not use Firebase? Should people who don't like coffee not use Java? Moreover, should those people suggest the names be changed due to their phobia?

We could number all database servers. Server 1, Server 2, Server 3, Server 4... but 4 is unlucky in China, so we can't use that.

The task manager has gotten a lot of work. I massively prefer many of the old Windows-style control panel items like services, add/remove programs, networking dialogs, etc. I will give you that scheduled tasks is confusing and the event log (which is fast enough for me) isn't super comfortable.

Microsoft doesn't want to distribute more tools with Windows (like sysinternals) because they'll have ship them forever. They should, however, put them in the store.

It feels like a lot of the new features are half-baked. They have tried to go to a rapid release model which should mean continuous improvement but I don't think they're quite comfortable with that. It's like the worst of both worlds right now -- slow fixes but lots of churn.
It’s one thing for friends or family to think where you working at is cool and another thing for random people to be inflating your ego. Or you may start to think you’re better than other people because of where you work.

I’ve seen this phenomenon in San Francisco quite a bit. That is where the person and their entire social circles become cliques that serve simply to reinforce their ego.

It’s sad and weird to observe first hand.
This is all my opinion, I've never understood cable television. You are paying for someone to provide you with advertisements. Sure, you get a lot of channels and content but how many channels does the average person watch and how often are you just turning on "something" to have on? I've never paid for cable but as soon as Netflix DVD delivery came along I was on board and haven't looked back. Going back to watching television with advertisements is akin to nails on a chalkboard now. Which is odd because I still use free Pandora and have no problems whatsoever with their advertising.

I'm a Twitter power user so in theory this is the kind of thing I would like. (And I did upvote.) But I think you need a value proposition to get people to use the site that isn't just reading reviews, because most usernames I search at the moment will not have associated reviews. With a clear alternate value prop, you'll have time to build up the number of reviews and then do something interesting with them, like "most-recommended accounts for [topic]" or whatever.

Anyway, I do like the idea of Yelp-meets-LinkedIn layered on top of Twitter.

I figure it would probably be paid out in stock options that would need to vest over time. Sort of like working for a startup that has a big IPO.

If you're a youngish guy $1.35M over 50-70 years is only around $35k/year even if you do invest it wisely and luck out. And $35k/year won't be worth as much with inflation constantly eating away at it. Hell, just the taxes and paying off your mortgage on your California home will probably eat it up. Even properly invested it's close to poverty level income. Sure some people will move out to Montana and live out their dream of being Grizzly Adams for the rest of their life, but I thing more would stay and keep working that you might expect.
Hmm, doesn't that sound like a job for the hosts file (on any of the OSes)? Unless 'server' and 'router' don't have fixed IPs somehow?

Sure, if you sit on your ass for two years. But people reenter the workforce after even longer hiatuses all the time. Is it harder than getting a job while currently employed? Of course. Is it impossible? Not at all. Ask the scads of former SAHMs who went back to work eventually.

In case others are looking for something similar, I've had great success using Anker's 20100mAh USB-C portable battery to charge my Switch on the go. It's the only USB-C battery I've tried that actually works with the Nintendo Switch.

It also gets me a full recharge of my 15" USB-C MBP (though you can't use the MBP and charge at the same time, it takes a while).
You'd be shocked to see the numbers of cars bought from dealerships that need to come back for something. And if you look at those cars' respective forums, you see the exact same thing. It is nothing out of the ordinary. I've had to take multiple cars back for issues, including Ford, Toyota, Buick, BMW, and Chevy. The Buick literally had an issue where if you turned the left blinker on, the windshield wipers would stop working until turned off.

I am a Tesla owner of 2 years now, I never had to go back to the service center once, excluding the 1 year routine checkup. I've had zero problems with it. So when you see forum posts and all, also realize there is a bias of only the people with the issues go to post them. It is most certainly not the norm.

Oh, and of all the brands above that I mentioned, the one that was the worst.. the Toyota 4 runner. For all the talk of highest quality, etc, it was practically a lemon. And don't get me started on how many times I ended up just fixing my own Chevy because something else broke!

Which seems like a bit of a "no duh". Obviously you can't keep working on the same production line if it is currently shut down. It sounds like the Model 3 folks could use some extra hands so it shouldn't be that hard to find something to do.
Digging deeper, the TNW article provided more info and you’re right: they are buying $25 less than the price they charge for the package (between $75 and $475) worth of a random mix of a top 300 list of cryptocurrencies from an exchange, so it's probably not a lottery (unless some or all of the underlying cryptocurrencies are lottery tickets, which is probably not legally the case however much it might practically be.)
We're all supposed to imagine that software is Very Hard Work that changes Very Quickly and so, you know, it just can't be done if you're too tired to come in at 9AM -- better to get your rest and get your brain ready for the Very Difficult Work Ahead -- and you'll fall irrevocably behind if you step away for a year.

Of course, that's all nonsense. But it makes us feel so, so good.

If you're paying for Internet, you're paying for someone to provide with you advertisements in exactly the same way. Cable is merely the delivery method -- the networks and stations themselves are providing the content separately and using advertising to fund it.

If you pay for premium cable channels like HBO then you're actually contributing your money to the production of advertisement-free content.
If all devices actually follow the standard, then yes, a device should be able to detect a cable was plugged in even if the other end is disconnected. The trouble is finding compliant hardware, I fully expect it will be at least 2 more years before we start seeing common hardware that follows the spec.
