Musk in an interview last week said as much (re: automation). He claims that the Model 3 line was over-automated so now they're tearing out sections for rework while doing more with the labor on hand. (Although they're about to also install new sections from their German automation subsidiary so it goes both ways).

Machine Learning’s ‘Amazing’ Ability to Predict Chaos
"Elites are studiously silent about the familial basis of their relative success. Marital stability is now a form of competitive advantage for the upper tier ... amplified by the insistence that family formation is ... an obstacle to autonomy." - Patrick Deneen

Most of the upper crust finds marital/family stability to be very necessary to success, while many cultural currents try to express that its not a big deal (or that it is better to be a forever bachelor and forever child). Many of the upper crust probably try to downplay it too.

Think of how even the Clintons and Weiners[1] and Trumps are together and stay together, for instance.

The problem isn't elite dating apps though, the problem is the common man and woman's perception and treatment of marriages/families. Elite dating apps are just signaling out in the open something that the elite have known for a very long time. The big advantage that the elite have here is recognizing the importance.

[1] wiki says:

> Huma Abedin and Anthony Weiner withdrew their divorce case from court in January 2018, claiming they did so in order to spare their six year-old son further embarrassment.

The claim is one thing, but the truth is that in spite of his terrible flaws/nature/whatever, they both agreed they still have work to do, be it ambition or family.
market-specific residential REIT:

The cost is more than a JS->JS call, but not drastically so. Every argument must be converted from a number to an int32/float32/float64, which for SMI values is a single branch, for heap numbers a branch and a load. For other JS values, a ValueOf() operation on the JS value.

V8 generates little wrappers for these, with inline conversions. It does not currently inline the little wrapper functions, nor use ICs for the conversions inside, since branches are generally enough to get the interesting fast cases.

The idea of a super-expensive call is therefore a bit of a myth. You can try to measure the cost yourself, but be careful! Most microbenchmarks will end up comparing the difference between an inlined JS call (as low as zero overhead) versus a non-inlined WASM->JS or JS->WASM call. The proper comparison would be instead with a non-inlined JS->JS call. Defeating inlining for JS->JS calls is tricky. You can do it with cross-realm calls, or by trying manipulating polymorphism. In either case, it's pretty tricky, so good luck.

Our current adversaries are mostly insurgents - however, if you look forward at dwindling resources and nations doing the unthinkable and waging wars over them, then the F-35 makes more sense. With a complex and lengthy development process you're planning for the war after the next, not the current.

That being said, with all the problems the F-35 has, much like the Eurofighter before it, it might be no match for what another advanced economy could produce.
This sentiment is great, and I happen to subscribe to the view that financial wealth is an imperfect signal of value created.

In reality though there is a psychological effect that benefits those who make a lot of money as long as other people know they make a lot of money. How much money someone is willing to pay you is inherently a value judgement on their part.

I disagree from a technical perspective. WASM is a box much like an iframe or a Java applet or Flash media. Therefore the things contained within that box are isolated from the things outside that box. JavaScript, on the other hand, operates outside that box and, with appropriate bindings, can interface with APIs inside that box.

The WASM will replace JavaScript argument exists not for any valid technology reasoning, because people desperately need it to (only for personal reasons) and don't understand how web technologies work on the front end.

The goal of WASM was never to replace JavaScript, but to replace Flash (before Adobe announced the death of Flash) in a language agnostic way.

At least the way my multi-national employer is interpreting it, under GDPR you can't get away with "click here if you agree with our privacy policy". You have to explicitly say everything that is tracked, everything that is stored, how long, and why it is required for use. If it's not required for use, you can't ask for it and you can't store it unless the person explicitly says yes. If they say no, you have to let them use it anyway, without the tracking and without the storing.
Pause functions are actually considered a matter of best practice. It's a way of mitigating the contract's risk. Now, who gets control of the pause function is an entirely separate discussion worth having. The controlling address could be a contract implementing a multisig scheme, allowing for the decision to be made by more than just a single individual.

I’ve had a friend, a specialist engineer doing failure analysis, who has been largely incapacitated from any work because of Tesla. He sustained an injury during a high urgency project (which failed, whodathunk) which required him to work 16 hour days for a few months. During the course of this, he sustained injuries to arms and legs due to machinery issues (the machinery at Tesla often has workers contorting into unnatural positions, I’ve heard). It’s been 2 years and my friend is unable to pay for the requisite operations and can’t get a cent out of Tesla. He is unable to work because of his injuries and so really has been confined to his home for 2 years now.

I have no respect for Musk. An employer who has no respect for their employees, a leader who has no regard for those he leads, is morally bankrupt and seeks only their own good.

Sounds like QML, which even looks slightly like JSON if you squint at it right. Bonus (depending on your views) points: you can even use javascript in it.
The best way I've found to experience this is to first learn to ride with no hands. This works best at speed. You actually steer by shifting your weight, but the easiest way to learn is is to grip the seat with your thighs and think about turning the bike by trying to turn the seat.

Once you can stabilize a no-hands ride, try pushing on the handlebar with one finger. You will find the the bike turns in the opposite direction of what you would naively expect. The harder you push, the tighter the turn will be in the "wrong" direction.
How many of these people get prosecuted every year? Is there some sort of Interpol of spam/scam/phishing to coordinate efforts against these guys? They should be easy enough to catch. It seems that right now there's not enough disincentive for these people to stop what they're doing. If the decentralized web wants to have a chance to succeed, we'll need to find a solution against spammers and scammers.
Being jailed or otherwise detained for any amount of time, sure. But otherwise, working through the legal process wouldn't be something a regular employer knows about. You would have more errands to run than usual perhaps, that's about it.

Another example: as a programmer, if I run into legal trouble with the IRS and they sue me, or if my neighbor sues me for damage to their property, how would my employer know?

(I'm not saying it's good that employers might not know this. I'm just baffled by the article taking it as a given that practically all employers would.)
I'm not sure even in a world where dogfights are still a thing that the F-35 makes any sense. If we are talking the ability to deliver air munitions, again, I just can't see it. What makes an F-35 more special than a drone?
That is true, though there are still a large number of workers who have really been injured while working there. That is a fact.
>Not only will most frameworks and standard JS libs dwarf this

The original runtime that was used by Blazor was already a compact .NET runtime, and no matter how much you minify it (or any other runtime, such as the JVM), it will always have a considerable size.

>the average web page size has upped to ~ 3MB these days...

This is not an excuse to make web pages' sizes even larger :).

Btw, I'm not against the idea of using a managed language that targets WebAssembly for front-end development. On the contrary, I'm very excited about Blazor and I'm following its development, and I would love to see similar frameworks for other languages such as Kotlin or Swift.

But while I think the size of a runtime won't be an issue for web applications that use such frameworks, I don't like the idea of shipping large runtimes with wasm packages that might be used with other languages.

This is a textbook case of wire fraud, a federal offense under United States law. Other countries will have similar laws.

This reminds me of Bank of America and Air Canada. I used to fly to Canada every week for work and every week my card would be declined by BoA when I tried to book on AirCanada.com.

I had it down to a science, I knew the direct number to their fraud dept and I knew when I should place my call so that I'd usually be connected at just the right time to get the charge authorized with enough time to avoid the website session from timing out, although sometimes I'd have to start over. Eventually, air canada added a timeout popup which helped prevent this.

I tried everything to get BoA to fix this (escalating calls, writing letters, etc). By the end, I gave up and just accepted it when they "put a note" on my account so this "would never happen again". This went on for over 2 years. Thankfully my company switched our cards to another bank and I never had this problem again.

In that case, you won't have any reason to believe that they are an EU citizen unless and until they indicate otherwise, and there are provisions within the GDPR for it not to apply in those cases where you are not intentionally obtaining data from EU citizens. On my sites that don't get alot of EU traffic anyway, I'm simply blocking EU IPs, and on all registration forms, I've removed EU countries from the country selection for residence, and put a notice that says "You may not register for this website if your country is not listed above".

The reason all those things are so easy to do is down to years of work optimising the UI and handling errors well- we’ll get there with smart contracts too one day

I'd argue the F-35 will help keep it that way. The general idea with spending so much on military is that no country in there right mind will declare serious war on you, as it's impossible to win. The F-35 keeps it that way by furthering the gap with countries with significant airforces (of which there are only really two adversaries, China and Russia).
The chances of developed nations going to war with each other over dwindling resources is extremely close to zero.
Your ability to twist my words into the argument you wish I was making instead of the one I'm actually making is impressive. Infuriating, but impressive.

I will try to make this as simple as possible.

Facebook owns its platform (code, hardware, etc.). I own a house.

If someone posts on Facebook, they have the right to remove that post. That is their right over their property (the platform). If someone graffitis the wall of my house, I have the right to remove that graffiti. That is my right over my property (my house).

If Facebook wishes to punish the person (say they posted something illegal), they have to invoke the authority of the actual government. Facebook has no authority over people beyond how they interact with Facebook's property. If I wish to punish the graffiti artist, I must invoke the authority of the actual government. I have no authority over people beyond how they interact with my property. The government does, even though the country that the government serves is not its "property".

That is the difference between property ownership and governance, and it is why neither I nor Facebook are governments.

I don't know how I can make this any simpler, and I don't wish to waste any more time engaging with the umpteenth strawman you're going to throw up, so I'm going to leave it at that.
>That being said, with all the problems the F-35 has, much like the Eurofighter before it, it might be no match for what another advanced economy could produce.

Given that the F-35 was built with the latest tech that no other advanced economy even has I have no idea how anything could be built in the next 10-15 years that will significantly outclass it.
Let's say China builds a jet that is as good as the F-35. Given our ability to precision target planes with missiles delivered by drones, what's the point of the F-35? Putting a human in the cockpit of an aircraft for any form of warfare really doesn't feel like thinking about future wars to be honest.

Yeah, what a disappointment that purchase turned out to be with my precious allowance money. As noted, it had an impressive IDE for the horrifically limited abilities of the machine, but that didn't make up for the fact that your working set (if I might use that term very loosely) was measured in bytes. There just wasn't much to be done with it other than "print 'mikestew is awesome'; goto 10".

It makes for a cool party trick, but not something to charge unsuspecting children money. I got more value out of the 2600 version of PacMan (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pac-Man_(Atari_2600) ).
Laura, just want to let you know that your response (sibling comment to this one) is marked as dead.
I just hope the `__post_init__` method catches on and becomes a regular python dundermethod. I actually find it to be a very good quality in this new implementation.

Example from the PEP 557:

@dataclass
class C:
a: float
b: float
c: float = field(init=False)

def __post_init__(self):
self.c = self.a + self.b

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0557/#post-init-processi...

I could use this all over the place.

When I saw image of F-35 few years ago with some expected date of finishing the project I thought to myself. Why the hell does this thing have a window or even cockpit at all?

It was even before I read this: https://www.google.pl/amp/s/www.popsci.com/amp/ai-pilot-beat...
It depends on what you consider the goal of the F-35 to be.

If you believe it's to build a next generation fighter plane then yes it's a disaster.

If you believe it's a way to funnel trillions of dollars of taxpayer money to private defense companies then it's a rousing success.
Yes, that's similar to what I had in mind. Have you all looked at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zerocoin ? My understanding is that Zerocoin eventually developed their own protocol/ blockchain, but originally they operated a mixing service on top of Bitcoin.

I admit to being out of my element on this, so I may not be phrasing things correctly, but reading through this discussion it seemed like there would be lots of public metadata for a would-be attacker to work with.
My first response was going to be to use Lazarus/Free Pascal, but then I saw the OCaml requirement.

It's kind of funny, because one of the first things I wrote with Delphi when I first got my hands on it was a text editor. :-)
The outlined problem in the article has all of the requirements of a full GUI toolkit, yet the only GUI toolkit looked at is discarded as being too much. The proposed alternative is to recreate XUL in JSON. I weep for our industry.
It shouldn't be too long. I'm working on a Visual Basic GUI to zoom into those Arrival and Departure screens to extract any relevant information.
Seems to me that the strategic question is 'What is the cheapest means of attacking an F-35?' If the answer isn't another expensive fighter plane, e.g. a drone or flock of drones, then those future opponents may have an economic advantage, especially if resources are dwindling. I'm just recycling an old notion; at one time, fighters and bombers were much cheaper than the things they were attacking [0].
