Agree with the conclusion, disagree with the reasoning.

In the end, good products and strategies win. Betting against Tesla is dumb because they've proven the doubters wrong about their products and strategies over and over again. They've stayed right on course with the ten-year plan they laid out ten years ago, and every product they've built has been loved by an overwhelming majority of its owners. Not many companies can say that, not even successful ones.

Short sellers need to tip their caps and recognize that Tesla understands what it's doing better than they do. The longer it takes them to realize this, the more money they're going to lose.

Hey folks, I'd really like some feedback on this before I push the final version to Maven Central.
Tesla cars being sold with 'full self-driving capable hardware' will NEVER reach level 4 autonomy. If you can create a bet around this with reasonable terms (so not waiting 50+ years because 'never' is a long time) I will put my life-savings into it.
You want to break --at some point--. The question is, who decides where to break? For gofmt, they decided that the person writing the code is going to make this decision everywhere. For prettier, we decided that the tool was going to make that decision, so that the humans don't have to.

If we want to do it automatically, we need to figure out an algorithm to do that. It turns out that if you use 80 columns as a heuristic, the vast majority of the code will look fine. A lot of people (myself included) tried to use different algorithms but couldn't beat that heuristic.

If you know of a better way, please let me know :)
It's GDPR compliant, also GitHub is now MS, so like the dark side, and GitLab is Han Solo.

Speaking as a former Googler, many (most?) Googlers never work on complex algorithms at huge scale. The interview questions are often completely irrelevant to their work.
I'm guessing the whole boot-process & platform will become more and more closed as apple moves towards custom chips all the way down.

You make a very good point. The dominance of x86 is largely because it forms the long-standing open PC platform, which while Apple and others have been trying to remove "legacy" features from and lock down for a long time, still remains quite well-documented and open in comparison to smartphone/tablet SoCs that have next to no detailed public documentation at all.
Interesting. I dropped Android a year or so back but can't remember bumping into an app doing it like that. Definitely encountered a few "are you sure?" style dialogues though.
Mission over economic/market efficiency. Short sellers are out only to profit, Tesla needs to profit to survive, but is out to electrify transportation. Make vultures suffer.

Brew being a set of ports as opposed to binary compatible is going to hurt Apple developers here. To compare, at Build 2018 I played with Windows Subsystem for Linux on an ARM64 Windows laptop. WSL being binary compatible meant all of the Ubuntu (or Debian, or …) packages for ARM64 were available.

The brain is random all over because it depends on liquid chemical reactions and diffusion and concentrates, etc. And those do not have fixed time courses, just probability distributions of reaction times. The brain is also ultra parallel with massive noise in all of its signals.

You do not need quantumness in the brain to introduce randomness, it is filled to the brim with randomness already.

> Now GraalVM provides a polyglot runtime for JavaScript and Ruby, but my understanding is it'll be commercial-only once it's released. So in a way, Oracle is preparing a Java exit strategy themselves :)

Your understanding is wrong.

GraalVM comes in two editions: Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE) (https://www.graalvm.org/downloads/).

Community Edition is open-source (https://github.com/oracle/graal) and has a relatively permissive license (GPL v2 + Classpath exception, all source files have the Classpath exception). The Classpath exception was added recently and will make a world of a difference.

Enterprise Edition provides additional optimizations and commercial support. Nevertheless, CE will take you a long way. Twitter says they have achieved a 12% speedup in the real world by running their Scala services with CE's Graal JIT.

All language implementations have been open-sourced by now (except for some EE optimizations). Most of them (including Graal.js and TruffleRuby) are licensed under Universal Permissive License or Eclipse Public License.

My favorite use of GraalVM is creating native executables with Substrate VM. Works great and brings startup time of my Java/Kotlin command-line applications down to 1 ms.
> unless you are seeing something like people with absolutely no programming experience applying for senior roles

Yeah, I see things like folks with a twelve-week bootcamp and no prior experience applying for a full-stack position aimed at junior-to-mid candidates. That's clearly a vastly under qualified applicant.

A close friend and mentor was on the advisory board for one of the coding camps and had me do mock interviews. The quality is atrocious, and only those with prior experience end up coming out worth a damn. I've seen grown men break down and cry because FizzBuzz was too much for them and, yes, I made sure they had prior knowledge of the relevant mathematical operations and syntax.

Further, there are a lot of sub-par contracting organizations. Warm-body-in-seat type operations. This further results in lots of unqualified applicants, but they're harder to filter out because on paper they look decent when in reality they have on years experience ten times over. The conversations usually turn sour when you simply cannot pay a senior salary to someone with the knowledge and skillset of, at best, a good junior.

> I don't think it is appropriate to make judgements like "vastly unqualified" based solely on a resume,

FWIW, I don't find replying in such a manner to be very appropriate. It almost seems as if I'm being accused of conversing in bad faith.

I have my experiences in my neck of the woods, and you yours. Unless we known one another, you don't know what I've seen.

Apple hasn't given any examples of removing APIs without a deprecation lasting at least a few years... on iOS.

If it's deprecated on macOS, it's going to be around for a lot longer. They can certainly make things hellish for users trying to install your kext, but the APIs will still be there.
I tracked down one scientific paper that mentions "1,100 Gt CO2" but the context is completely different from what was being claimed (total human emissions so far): it's an estimate of the remaining global carbon budget from 2011 onwards for the political goal of limiting global temperature rise to 2 ̊C.

"A temperature rise of 2 ̊C is consistent with combustion and release of around 1 trillion tonnes of carbon (1000 Gt C). The 2013 IPCC Working Group 1 report calculates the remaining global carbon budget from 2011 onwards consistent with the political goal of limiting global temperature rise to less than 2 ̊C to be 300 Gt C, equivalent to emission of 1100 Gt CO2. Current known and exploitable fossil fuel reserves are equivalent to 3100 Gt CO2, three times greater than this cumulative emissions budget. A conservative estimate of the additional fossil carbon resource that could be extracted is 30-50 times greater (~45000 Gt CO2)." [1]

Their reference for that amount is "IPCC. Fifth Assessment Report Summary for Policymakers, Working Group 1: the physical science basis (2013)". [2] However when I read and search that document that particular number is absent. A search of the full 1,552 page report [3] also comes up empty.

That would be fine if they were choices on the side, but most of these were foisted on users as the default choice, only to be canceled later. Making the whole exercise a complete waste of time rather than an interesting experiment.

The point is a lower barrier of entry because anyone can just buy your stock and therefore a larger pool of potential investors. The downside is that the mass of those investors (on average) are not as well informed as a few select big investors. This gave Tesla a great amount of money to work with as long as their star was shining but now it could backfire badly.

If we're totally screwed then it doesn't matter what we do; so frankly it isn't really worth thinking about. Better to assume we can save ourselves and try, than assume we are doomed and give up.
Unless the company needs to sell more stock or gives options/grants to employees. In either case, a higher price reduces the fraction of the company needed to be sold to get the same amount of cash. An increase is share price is almost always still beneficial to the company.
People used to make this same argument about why things fall to the ground when you let go of them. "Is it really surprising? Why wouldn't they just fall down? What kind of answer do you want?". You have to allow yourself to be puzzled by things.

So yes, it is surprising. You don't seem to understand the most basic principles underlying the so-called hard problem. Nowhere in your description about "complex things" and "integrating" and "complicated external stimuli" and "communicating about its state" have you even attempted to point out why it actually DOES feel like something to be that system. Why does all this stuff actually lead to the feeling of pain, or intense grief, or pleasure, or anything at all. That is the fundamental mystery - why does it feel like anything at all when this "stuff" happens, and what is the nature of the feelings themselves. There are tons of mysteries here that you can't gloss over by saying "well why wouldn't it??".

> I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers.

The operative phrase there is "knew you", not "evildoers". In Christian theology, Christians themselves aren't anything to write home about. They're just favored due to their relationship with God.

People can go out, find "good people", and emulate them. Though that's missing the point according to Christian theology. In fact, part of the sacrament of baptism involves admitting you're not a "good person". These aren't secret rituals or something. On the contrary, they're supposed to be public statements.
You have a point there: Kim Jong-un's nuclear research program has kept North Korea very safe, and was obviously the best use of resources. And since the US only spends more on its military than the next 8 countries combined, the US needs to boost military spending to implement Trump's pledge of rebuilding the military to its former glory by buying more horses and ironside frigates, instead of spending it on things like health care. /s

The difference is that Microsoft has more incentive to optimise their AV against both false positives, and false negatives. And it can afford to stay invisible if there is no threat. A commercial AV has to make its presence known, and most I've seen do this constantly: If you never get a virus and the program remains silent all the time, people will wonder if they really need a commercial AV. If you never experience trouble and Microsoft Defender stays silent, you have a happy user: Windows works without issues.
How does high limit order prevents your shares from being lent out?
1935's Triumph of the Will is a documentary. It documents the 1934 Nuremberg Rally of the Nazi Party. It is also pro-Nazi Party propaganda. A film can be a documentary and advocate for a certain agenda. These dual-purpose films existed long before the late 1980s.

I believe that most documentaries do advocate something. Documentarians adhering to Wikipedia-like NPOV rules of presentation are rarer than other sorts.

Vivado isn't just an IDE, it's a toolchain. Poor or buggy verilog support, synthesis bugs, etc. can definitely influence the choice of FPGA's. And FPGA toolchains are all very buggy. Current issues we have involve that Vivado cannot reproduce builds even with the same seed.

Our main reason to not have picked Altera was usually much poorer routing and inability to meet our bandwidth demands (>100Gb/s), but the poorer toolchain was also a factor.

However, for IDE, it can be a killer if use is a requirement.
>Not everyone comes from places where being informed is a value. Some even come from families or communities where wanting to learn makes them a target.

Take your statement and apply it to other values. As an example:

Not everyone comes from places where being honest is a value. Acting honestly is a privilege and the lack of it in
a person should not be viewed negatively.

Not everyone comes from places where saving for a rainy day is a value. Not spending your whole paycheck on non-essentials is a privilege and the if a person spends all his money on things he likes we should sympathize with his predicament when he has an emergency.

At what level are we going to take the notion of privilege? Suggesting that people read a newspaper regularly is in no way being insensitive to the other person's situation. If they come from a place where it makes them a target, I would suggest they first focus on changing their environment. You don't make progress by being passive.

There is no such "hidden assumption" - the question is just literally asking what the difference is between the non-conscious program and the conscious one (in your case).
It sounds like you're describing something more like loans, than a market. Short sellers increase market liquidity, and help with price discovery. There's no destruction. This is a good thing, especially for a mega-hyped but under-delivering stock like Tesla.
Not necessarily. Assume that LIDAR becomes a requirement in the future, while the cost of LIDAR is decreasing very rapidly (a quick Google search will confirm this). The retrofit then becomes much cheaper in the future vs today.

It’s similar to how renewable projects are being bid on and sold today, with the price of the power being determined by what the equipment will cost several years in the future when it’s installed.

How do you figure that?

If nobody buys the shares after the IPO then there is no demand and the market cap drops to zero. There’s no reward for the people who took the initial risk on the company and then what’s the point?

Ever heard of corporate raiding? A healthy stock price prevents hostile takeovers. It creates a class of emitionally invested citizens in the case of other external threats. It lets the public subsidize bonuses to employees (stock options) and in the case of a merger gives the company an asset that isn’t cash that can make up part of the compensation.
This link does not provide evidence that it would prevent broker from lending out your shares. This “lock” is only placed internally in the broker’s internal system, there is nothing preventing the broker from lending out your share anyway. If they can’t get your shares back in time before your order triggers then they would just compensate you.

Where did you get this idea from, anyway?
> Yes, the implication was that since then we've had a volunteer army. Sorry that wasn't clear to you.

Perhaps you should revise your writings, because nothing about the sentence would imply the "since then." This is an international forum, not everyone learns the history of US military recruitment practices.

> Weird, I was in my early teens then and somehow managed to suss out this was not the case (as did many prominent columnists).

I, too, sussed this out in my teenage years but by then the Iraq war was "waning" and the writing was on the wall.

Perhaps you're just much more prescient than I, as well as the millions of young men and women who signed up to serve their country with the belief that Iraq had truly done wrong.

> And the official line on Iraq was that the possessed WMD, not that they did 9/11.

In the lead up to the invasion, our borderline state media apparatus was heavily reporting that Hussein was building WMDs. There was also much accusations of him either funding or supplying Jihadis.
True enough, but you don't do that before you run into it :)
I feel there is another aspect to consider. The more committal action should require the more conscious movement to invoke. A great example being exiting an app being at the bottom of the file menu. Or on MacOS classic where they placed the trash can in the lower right of the desktop far from everything else.

OK and cancel don't consider this aspect as much, but IMO OK should require more conscious movement to accomplish. I'd rather accidentally cancel sending an email than accidentally prematurely send one for example.
