Who said anything about teleporters?

Edit: My point is that a train is not a teleporter. A train spreads population density over a larger area, with multiple stops and takes more time to move people than an imaginary sci-fi device. The comparison is not fair and pointless. Why not just talk about how trains would work instead of using an imprecise analogy.
I'm not really worried about privacy with regards to my podcast listening habits. If that's the price of a really fantastic service like Pocket Casts, then so be it.

But if the app starts to suck, to insert ads and features no one really wants, and starts to remove the features I use... We don't really have a good alternative on Android...
It's like saying something is "fast" - its a platitude that can draw developers to at least look at it, which is hard to do with all the new projects coming out constantly.

I feel like to announce it as leightweight you should at least include memory/latency benchmarks.
Challenges are mostly around keeping lock-step timing across a lot of separate devices in the system at scale (using PTP) for frame-accurate switching, and working through getting the SMPTE-2110 standards completed for interop, but there huge benefits on ability to scale to well beyond what is practical with coax, as well as cost savings on cabling with more density (and weight savings, for mobile production trucks which is important). There are also big architectural advantages of having more dynamic infrastructure and device discovery (AMWA NMOS, etc) rather than hard-wired coax signal paths.

There are a lot of scenarios with massive scale on the back-end, with lots of streams managed as part of the production process ahead of delivery to consumers... We have an IP video router (https://evertz.com/products/EXE-VSR) that has 2,304 10Gbps ports (moving to 25Gbps per port), each of which can do 6x fully uncompressed SMPTE 2110 video (1080i 29.97fps) flows in each direction, with a 46Tbps non-blocking back-plane so the scale can get a bit crazy.

The full scale back-end stuff is pretty invisible from the consumer side. Eventually that internal infrastructure feeds into distribution encoders that produce lower bitrate streams for cable/sat/web distribution (for real-time events, with separate file delivery for VOD platforms like iTunes & Netflix)
This problem is bigger than just Stripe's business. It hurts many Americans and the whole American economy when unemployment is 2% in San Francisco, 8% in Detroit, and yet the rent is so much more expensive in San Francisco, many people will stay jobless in a cheaper city rather than move there.

I think that some of it is that many people who identify with these characters are themselves deeply unhappy and don't believe that there is no hope for them to ever be happy. From that perspective, it is logical to conclude that if you are going to be unhappy either way then you might as well be cool/tough/glamorous/rich.
In my experience it's not that people feel as though it's inappropriate to participate in political machinery. They believe that "politics" are inefficient and, as such, a waste of their time. I believe the incorrect notion that "politics" can (or should be) avoided is to blame here.
I absolutely agree with you that it is not the sort of place you want to go if you'd like to be left alone. No doubt there. However, I would say that constantly pairing really is nothing like an ongoing meeting either. A really good paired programming environment, if you like that sort of thing and work well in that sort of environment, is very effective for writing and deploying fantastic products and features. I find meetings are very not effective for writing and deploying fantastic products and features.

I'd really rather not say there is a "Pivotal" style as much as an Extreme Programming paradigm. Extreme Programming says that an environment is better when you work normal hours. It states that an environment is better when there are fewer meetings. It states that an environment is better when you try paired programming, test driven development, continuous processes, simple design, good communication, etc etc etc. I think all of these things are very good. I also believe a few of these principles don't work well for specific individuals. There are principles that effect the business (fewer meetings, sustainable pace, continuous practices). So far I have always seen those principles as good. There are also principles that effect the individuals (paired programming, test driven development, close proximity for communication). I have seen those not work well for some individuals and should be adjusted to your individual employees.
I'd think definitely not. But these things will be true in most cases. So what that means is that even if a company is completely and absolutely open and invested in being as upfront and inviting to each and every single applicant, you'd still expect to see an employee base that has some groups overrepresented and some groups underrepresented.
Nice work; it does look nice and I'm glad JavaFX is getting a little love.
If you read my initial comment I started by stating why I have some sympathy for Musk. Having been at the coalface I know the feeling of facing the so-called tough questions. You always have two choices, mumble something that you are aware of the issues and you are giving the issues the highest priority. All available personnel are working around the clock to deal with the issues. The truth though is most of the issues are too technical to explain to the crowd. Musk in making his statement said something I felt like saying to a whole bunch of people many times in my life. Piss off and leave me to do my job. Some of these issues took other companies decades to fix. As I said I don't hold any Tesla stock.
Perspective. Listening to a retail investor who never gets a seat at the table get to ask so many questions was a good thing - for Gali.

I can be cynical too and look at it as a PR stunt - in many ways it was given that he allowed Gali to ask almost 10 questions - but at the end of the day I was thinking - good for that guy.
It would be reasonable for AT&T equipment to block any private IP traffic outside a customer's private network by default. That's ignoring that AT&T's network is public, and it wouldn't make sense to use a private IP for a service they provide.

Reversing that would likely require AT&T to make a firewall change to literally every piece of equipment they operate, and that's assuming that they don't use the blocks internally. That, and I can guarantee that some customer, somewhere, would be using whatever IP they chose.
Sign of the times, I guess.
The opposite of YIMBY isn't NIMBY per se. You'd need to look for BANANAs (Build Absolutely Nothing Anywhere Near Anyone) for the opposite view. Or don't, I think the acronym gives the game away.
I have it on reliable intel that Thales has been employed successfully for heavy applications in datacenters used by CVS and the US Gov. Their products must be good.

Well, do you think it's worthwhile to implement your own collision map system, vector math, tile editor, etc. every time you start a new game?

It sure is tempting, but not necessarily healthy to the odds that you will ship a game. Though it's also not obvious how much a game engine will help you (like if you'll run into issues with your specific mechanics) until you credentialize in it, so it's always a bit of a crap shoot because games are so open-ended.

For example, I once migrated away from PhaserJS because I couldn't figure out how to add networking and server-side simulation without having more of the physics code in my git diffs.
Coming to Terms with a Life Without Water
I’ve read thru a bunch of the comments (many of which echo my own thoughts on my career), and have a thought:

Why is computer programming taught in universities?

Seriously. There are many people who learned some things but not what they would have wanted to learn when they look back on their life.

I wonder why programming can’t be like welding [1]. There are many different types of welders, from the person welding a spacecraft, to your backyard bbq. And everything in between. Welding stainless steel is totally different from welding aluminum. And welding on alloys is like it’s from a different planet.

The welding field has many certifications for different things. We depend on their work every day. Yet they don’t go to college. And their mistakes can kill people.

Programmers on the other hand, should be able to have cerifications on things like data structures, communication methods, data stores & indexing, UX, etc.

That would be a much better use of people’s time than what we’ve been doing.

[1] https://www.aws.org/certification/page/certified-welder-prog...

(EDIT): yes, I read the article, but my post is more targeted at the HN comments. For what it’s worth, the article didn’t reference overly-worked blue collar fields like welding, hence why I used it as an example.
"I love hiking mountains but its no walk in the park"

Not to be pedantic, but... :)
It's a marketing term. It is often not provable either way and sounds good.
> a well educated/talented work force

This one is the only part that's not really possible at this time. However, if a company is willing to invest directly in growing the housing supply in the bay area, they should be willing to make the effort to try and grow talent in other parts of the country.

And there are tons of other places that have some combinations of good universities, nice weather, good food and interesting cultures. Namely large parts of sunbelt region in addition to other cities which may not have as nice weather, but make up for it in business friendliness and cost of living. It's also important to remember that virtually all urban areas are liberal and diverse, even in conservative states such as Texas.
they're both undergoing a housing crises right now
The IRB is more onerous for the type of studies I do (I generally only work with simulated human subjects) and yet I manage to soldier on. And yes, they do have to try to understand studies, but they also have to balance that with federal law, and the fact that they're going to get applications from all over the place, and aren't subject matter experts in literally everything. A bunch of the things he complains about?

- Patients not knowing what they're being studied for

- Patients signing their consent forms using an alterable substance

- Study discontinuation criteria that aren't well defined

Are genuine problems with his protocol. They might be valid (though the last one really needs to be more specific), they might not be, but the process of asking questions is how the IRB comes to understand how a study is supposed to work, and what ethical issues are involved.

I've worked with IRBs in one form or another at a dozen different institutions now. Sometimes they're annoying, to be sure, but to be frank, reading his account, I doubt I would have approved his study.

And frankly, a lot of what he's put down suggests a really dangerous lack of understanding of medical ethics. He clearly didn't pay much attention during his mandatory training.

Hell, a lot of it suggests a really poor understanding of study design.
In my experience - a large minority of developers, especially among young, inexperienced, perhaps insecure developers, act like condescending know-it-all's their colleagues. I think this is borne out of a fear of being incompetent in comparison to other people who are also in the field.

For those who are not this way, or try not to be this way, I believe the festering of gross dog-eat-you cultures in regards to hire-ability can also fester imposter syndrome in many of us younger devs.
The information asymmetry is a real problem.
Gawd I get sick of hearing about impostor syndrome. Some people who claim to have it really are impostors and use the syndrome to somehow indicate they aren't.

No one knows everything. But do you know enough to get done what you need to in an economically feasible timeframe relative to your peers? Or do you perhaps do even better than they do? Not an impostor. If not then maybe you are an impostor and should work on that. It's not a fixed state.
Yeah I prefer sans serif over serif fonts for reading things on my computer. Serif fonts in the body text are primarily suitable for print.

It might be that people with retina displays find serif comfortable on their computer screens as well.

> It's the second time in a short while that he shows he does not want to run the company like it is a public company. But he does want access to that capital.

I think that Matt Levine (bloomberg) might suggest there's more & easier money to be had in the private market, anyway (see Uber, pre-IPO Spotify, etc...).

The problem for Musk, if he also shares that view, is that taking the company private seems (to me) like an impossibility at this point.
The one described in the post.
That's too harsh. It depends on the operation and the probability of success. If the operation is non-critical and succeeds 99.99% of the time, it makes perfect sense to show the user an "optimistic" result.

This is the same principle that multiplayer games use. When a game character is moved in a particular direction, the client shows "optimistic" movement before the server confirms the movement. This is the difference between a playable and unplayable game in many cases.
Possibly not a hoax. Intel published this today [0]:

> Protecting our customers’ data and ensuring the security of our products are critical priorities for us. We routinely work closely with customers, partners, other chipmakers and researchers to understand and mitigate any issues that are identified, and part of this process involves reserving blocks of CVE numbers. We believe strongly in the value of coordinated disclosure and will share additional details on any potential issues as we finalize mitigations. As a best practice, we continue to encourage everyone to keep their systems up-to-date.

Also, AnandTech seems to have picked up the story [1] half an hour ago, although it seems to rely on heise.de's report.

I’m sure that’s what his press releases say.
These documents are still things that can become out of date. Anything of this nature can be in a source file somewhere, even if it’s a giant overview comment in one of the main files.

I do think it’s fine to create pretty docs from source comments or generate pictures from graph descriptions, etc. Every generated page should clearly state where it came from though (e.g. revision number and date).

Frankly I don’t like having only an API doc without the implementation. Code should be open-source to those using it, under NDA if necessary. When I need to rely on hidden implementations from Apple, etc. I routinely have to waste time discovering things simply not working as described. Meaning, their pretty docs are out of sync with reality and it wastes significant time to find this out the hard way.
I think opinion is not a great word to use because while, yes, people have opinions that inform their world views this is a question of action. Inaction reinforces the status quo, which is bad, and "YIMBY" people believe they have a prescription for those undesirable conditions. I guess if you accept the premise that housing is in crisis then it's not ultimately about what you believe, per say, it's about deciding on what to do. From there I think it's easy to imagine that proponents may diagnose the opposition as having drawn incorrect conclusions about the world around them that need rectifying.
Your ad hominem attack is against the guidelines of Hacker News.

I simply believe that founders, products, and teams determine success and that investor happiness is a lagging indicator. This is clearly what Elon Musk believes too.

Wall Street investors are like sheep. You can curse at them all you want. They can bleat all they want. They'll still come running when the food is ready.

Believing investors could be loyal to Elon Musk based on his personal behavior is a good way to kill Tesla. They only value the profits that he can generate for them, and he knows it.
That refers to access to drugs that have passed Phase 1 safety trials. The study here wasn't close to that.
Yes Detroit has a high unemployment rate, but it is in the best interest of companies to go to detroit, and bring their work forces with them which they are refusing to do due to the belief that you can only find talent in the bay area.

I believe that this is just a self fulfilling prophecy, if companies invested in new cities, it would lead to more and more tech workers choosing to live in those places rather than in California.
Out of curiosity, what kind of bot?

I live in Oakland, in an expensive neighborhood near BART full of single family homes, and very much support rezoning my neighborhood to allow for 4-6 story buildings, and would take those buildings on my own block. No, I am not willing to tear down my own house and inconvenience myself for years while building a 4 story multi unit building. But I would wholeheartedly support a neighbor doing so. I want more people in this area, I want the commercial activity that higher density brings, I want the added demand for public transit investment, more restaurants, more diversity, etc. That is in stark contrast to the typical NIMBY view. So you can call it something else if you want, but there are definitely differences between mentalities.
Show HN: Weekly news and mailing list on the InfoSec affairs
YIMBYism, that is, additions to housing stock made by private developers, is a false fix. The idea that additional housing stock is needed is correct, but the idea that more and more powerful landlords and developers will create space for vulnerable people is plainly wrong. More luxury condos, buildings rented by foreign investors that never occupy them as a place to park money, and all the problems of the powerful setting the agenda for everyone develops.

Instead, we need public housing, strict regulation, and yes more units built at the behest of the state.
Yes, but that is the sort of "boring" detail that he routinely lies about (as are ramp-up schedules, delivery amounts, revenues and that sort of boorish stuff only Wall Street nerds care about)
It may be a "boring" problem, but people aren't just paying for a reservation for nothing, ultimately they are expecting a car. And if there's no indication that they can meet the promises, that's a problem and he shouldn't be promising or giving wild production estimates in the first place.

Unless you believe that Musk is selling the ability for people to say they have a reservation. In which case there's no point to even bother building the cars in the first place.
As spiteful as Enron’s investors were.
Read the HN thread on Alexander's article, which includes commentary from several HN'ers that have dealt with IRBs. Not everyone was convinced; some people thought he was sort of embarrassing himself.

Is it possible to write applications in languages other than C/Cpp ? Even with Cpp, it appears from the examples that this seems more about handling specific secure data and seem to rely on special data structures. How do we convert existing applications to take advantage of Asylo ? Does it involve moving the sensitive parts to a enclave app and communicating with it from normal one ?
Compared to a standard Electron app, I'm sure the Java version will seem pretty svelte.
There are always reasons to believe the market is at its peak and you should hold off. Time in the market beats timing the market. DCA is also worse than time in the market.

Is this speculation, or are you talking about some previous time where Tesla had to pay a lot more to raise after an Elon comment?

Also, can you point out who said "Tesla will not need money again"? Elon is always careful to say something like "We will not need to raise money in <relatively short timeframe>". And then he raises money, says he did it because the price was right but it wasn't needed. Shorts accuse him of lying. Rinse, repeat.
Personally I prefer authors from the 1920s: Fitzgerald, Hemingway and the like. But Moby Dick is a combination of long, a very American (New England) setting from a certain period in whaling, and a memorable story of obsession. I read it fairly recently and it’s actually a pretty good read. Fell free to start skimming when Melville gets into one of his long-winded encyclopedic descriptions of some whaling topic.
Shutting down illegal immigration and encouraging self-deportation of illegals (by for instance, limiting various forms of aid to only legal residents and citizens of the USA) would ALSO greatly reduce housing pressures; while also reducing both property crimes and violence against people.

EDIT to add: it's simple economics - less people competing for a place to rent = rents will go down.
> You’d certainly never run across such a program by chance—not even if you had a computer the size of the observable universe, trying one random program after another for billions of years in a “primordial soup”!

This is a remarkable claim, given that we did encounter this program by random chance, and it only took about 10 billion years (the estimated age of the universe) give or take a few billion years.
There is a difference between asking straightforward financial questions from his shareholders with grace and tact and "bowing down and kissing Wall Street’s ring"

Yes his shareholders, you know the people that were specificly invited to this call, own the company and that he has to directly answer to, by law.

Instead musk decided to childishly deflect.
That's the joke…
Interesting proposition: deflate your stock value which makes the stock more accessible to risk-tolerant investors, while shedding the sort of nervous investor you don't want.
