Your employer amongst other dinosaur hardware manufacturers is also making this a nightmare to implement in software because of the tiny packet burst requirements (40us). My team will spend thousands of man hours and our servers will waste huge amounts of energy because power-saving can't be turned off in order to hit these crazy requirements.

In 40 years time we'll be still having to comply with this nonsense because some manufacturers didn't want to update their FPGA designs. It's like fractional frame rates all over again.

This is really where the broadcast industry lost its collective mind.

Well, with Godel's Incompleteness Theorems, such behavior appears to be an unavoidable property of any mathematical or computational system that can do anything of note. We may or may not be able to build systems where such properties are further removed from the 'practical' aspects... although such work would necessarily build upon the work in the linked post, which is finding just how far removed it is in the current system.
My comment is directed more toward your opening rationalization: "The thing is that he isn't wrong."

I don't believe Musk's critics are specifically disagreeing with how boring earnings calls may or may not be. I guess if I expected these calls to be not boring, I would think Musk had made an interesting observation.
These days I'm the only programmer at a none-tech company and it's glorious, I answer directly to the MD.

I set my own schedules, timelines, I prioritise bugs and maintenance and I handle buying anything we need as well having complete freedom in the technologies I choose to solve problems (currently moving to TypeScript for front end stuff for example) - his attitude is to hire good people across the business and then get out the way as much as possible.

The boss sets overall goals and we agree together on what is achievable in a given time period.

Honestly my job has made me remember what it was I loved about programming (solving real world problems that have a measurable impact).

Even the fact I inherited the worst codebase I've ever seen doesn't get me down because my boss knows how bad it is (it's why he got rid of the outsourced company and hired a programmer in house) and I get to work on a bunch of cool problems (production scheduling in a varied environment, global logistics (we import from China and India), some C# stuff (production control), Android (inventory control, scanners)).

I actually get to 5pm and want to keep working but the boss bollocks me if I stay late (even though he does most days).

I'd have to be offered a spectacular pay rise to even consider working for a 'tech' company again.

> Musk is making a contribution to the world. The Wolf on Wall Street not so much.

This is such a dumb, narrow-minded statement. Musk isn't some angel handing out miracles. He's a businessman, on a business-centric call, and was being rude to other businessmen who are essential to the success of anything he wants to do. This isn't The Wolf of Wall Street, this was Toni Sacconaghi, an extremely credentialed analyst, doing his job. And if you don't think that wall street analysts don't "make a contribution to the world", you need some perspective. Tesla as a company literally would not exist without the funding provided by companies like the ones Toni represents.

If Musk wanted to have a TED talk about how cool the future is, then he should have scheduled that on his own time. This was not that. Posters on HN complain all the time about how they get pulled into meetings and then their time is wasted because their bosses only wanted to talk about irrelevant stuff. That's exactly what happened here, only Musk was the one wasting everyone else's time.
That is definitely not true at all the leadership level (ie podcasts, official communications. In my experience it's not at all true at the local either.

However, it is a common mischaracterization by outsiders that reflexively oppose YIMBY. For a while, it was common to say that YIMBYs opposes BMR and affordable housing in general, which is completely untrue.

I guess it's shifted now to say that YIMBYs are pro-gentrification instead, which is absolutely counter to any high level communication or leadership discussion I've heard, or any local desires.

If you have links to such statements, or people that I can talk to, I'd love to jump in on that discussion and point out with documentation how that supposed YIMBY is not representing a YIMBY viewpoint.
>>And in that set, you predicated that the user could not revoke consent.

No I didn't. I said that these contracts enable the user to sell their personal data. If a personal data sales contract includes a clause allowing you to 'revoke consent' AFTER 'selling' your data, then you are renting your data, not selling it.

By making contracts without such clauses illegal, you are reducing the space of contractual interaction, in making it impossible to sell one's personal data.

>>That means that it is not a free contract.

Again, I have difficulty responding to such immature mischaracterizations of reality.

Selling your personal data is a 100% "free contract".

>>No, what was absolutely reckless was the attitude of this industry that they should be entitled to suck up every last piece of data they could.

You obviously don't care to debate this issue based on rational arguments and facts. You're debating in bad faith. You've already made up your mind and are more than willing to mischaracterize the situation, and people's position, to push your views.

>>It still affects your future self.

Everything you do affects your future self, but this particular type of sale does not cover data genereted by your future self. It only covers what you have already generated.

It's absurd and totally dishonest to compare it to selling oneself into slavery. It's nothing more than hysterical fearmongering about the free market, in support of government limiting people's contractual rights.

>>Once again, you have twisted this idea of "freedom" so badly, that you are claiming that it is anti-freedom for the user to have the freedom to withdraw consent!

You're once again mischaracterizing the ability to re-voke a sale, after the fact, as "withdraw consent".

When you sell something to someone, you no longer have a claim to that something, and thus the other party no longer needs your consent to maintain ownership of it.

That I really need to explain the semantics of ownership to you, and explain how allowing retroactive and unilateral reversals of sales makes it impossible to sell something, shows just how completely delusional and dishonest you're being.
A lot of people are downvoting, I think, because they believe that you are representing that this is the state of the law, when it's really not so cut and dry.

I think one could say that one's "duty" is more about what is ethically required, however. I tend to think that, ethically, a CEO is required to maximize shareholder value. This doesn't mean that he needs to agree with shareholders about what that means, necessarily, and trading off short-term value for long-term value could be the right call.

I feel like sometimes "caring only about shareholder profits" is some kind of code for being greedy, when I think it's quite the opposite -- it's much greedier to spend your company's money for your own vanity, or to set up your next job, or to do favors for friends -- often the non-profit-maximizing activities a CEO engages in falls into one of these buckets.

It is also completely reasonable to say that it is in the shareholders' best interests that their company act ethically, and in accordance with the law.
I'll repeat what a lot of other people have said on this one. I think Rust puts the vast majority of its complexity up front, so that you have to deal with it even in toy programs. However, once your toy program is working, it can expand into a real program without uncovering bugs or running into a lot of new complexity. C on the other hand, can make toy programs appear simple. However, there can be a lot of undefined behavior in those programs, which will turn into serious bugs as the programs get more interesting. I like this article for talking about some of those cases: https://blog.regehr.org/archives/1520

I’m not sure I would want to work for a company that thinks spending an additional $5 is not worth improving my productivity. How much do you pay an engineer per year? You can’t afford an additional $5x12=$60, really?

This argument would make a lot more sense if it was $500 per month per dev, which some SaaS companies actually do charge per-seat for enterprise licensing plans. A $5 per user per month charge is actually an unusually low price for the enterprise SaaS market. In fact it’s even a low price for the individual developer market. Rarely does anything cost less than $9 per month...

Sorry but that is just a ridiculous criticism.

You can save this as an HTML file:

<canvas id="canvas" width="400" height="400"></canvas>

<script>
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
var width = canvas.width;
var height = canvas.height;
var imagedata = ctx.createImageData(width, height);

function draw(r, g, b, x, y){
var pixelindex = (y * width + x) * 4;
imagedata.data[pixelindex] = r;
imagedata.data[pixelindex+1] = g;
imagedata.data[pixelindex+2] = b;
imagedata.data[pixelindex+3] = 255; //alpha
ctx.putImageData(imagedata, 0, 0);
}

</script>

This gives you a 400x400 space to draw on. Open the console and call draw().

I didn't say anything about should or shouldn't. I was putting forth the idea that it is uniquely attractive to companies and workers. If housing were a normal market, supply would rise to meet demand, and the market could arrive at some sort of equilibrium. The present situation only serves rent seeking interests, and I believe that as a matter of public policy we should prioritize a broader set of stakeholder needs. On a macro level, prioritizing the interests of rent seekers is economically sub optimal, and transfers wealth from workers, companies, and consumers to land owners.

The rent control portion of sb827 may act as a deterrent to building new apartments. If you have to keep rents the same or pay 4 years rent to everyone in the building, it may be difficult to have the new, larger building pencil out.
Because there are multiple conflicting priorities here. On the one hand, it is good to keep software updated, and therefore software should check for updates. On the other hand, software should restrict itself to solving one problem domain. Interacting with the internet is something wholly distinct from decompressing files, and so the software should not branch off into a new domain. Choosing between these priorities is not necessarily straightforward.

I could also argue that automatic updates are themselves a security hole. They are a way for new code to be downloaded and run, without notifying the user. As a result, it means that your security depends on the security of a machine not under your control. Not too much of a risk for Firefox, but imagine having a program that auto-updated from SourceForge during its experimental fling as a malware distributor.
Notice that his response to the Economist is in the form that I said -- the word "need" is present.

Or you know, the author of 7-zip could pay for a digital certificate and sign the executable. Fake websites and "Trojans" are a known problem, with a known solution.

Unfortunately, 7-zip barely has any security involved. No digital signatures, no ASLR, no NX bit, no stack canaries, no nothing.

Hopefully these security concerns wake up Ivor. Its not the 90s anymore: developers have to participate to get a proper security posture. That's why Windows tried so hard to get everyone to use sandboxed Win10 Apps / Metro Sandbox by default, because these problems require the developers to care about security.

> I don't believe there is direct evidence that illegal immigrants cause proportionally more crime than the general population in the same socioeconomic circumstances.

There probably is if you consider all crime; e.g., while not all undocumented residents commit the crime of illegal entry (visa overstays don't usually), it's probably far more common among illegal immigrants than the general population. It's very hard to be undocumented and not commit any crimes directly related to that fact.

I never quite got to like lettuce. I don't know why people like it. It just doesn't have much taste, its leaves are too big, so have to shove them in awkwardly.

I'd rather have a salad with chopped ripe tomatoes, onions / chives, cucumbers, cabbage, etc. Even with those, I often wonder if people don't eat more veggies because American veggies from grocery store taste like plastic. So eating them is a chore, because well, it's "healthy" but not because they taste good.

I'm not talking about who sets the zoning laws, I'm talking about who makes decisions re: a particular property.

If you're into local control and people close to the ground making decisions, no one is closer and should know better than the literal property owner. If kicking zoning laws up to the state level helps empower property owners than it absolutely is giving more local control.
The title is misleading in the sense that the particular number depends on the model of TMs (one- or two-way infinite? what alphabet? is a left-move from the 0th cell a no-op or a halt? etc.)
