> if you really believe in your idea, you should work full-time on it.

Run away from this type of investor, simply because they no longer understand that believing in an idea and risking homelessness are two very different things that should not be correlated.

Investors want to make their money back, and they have every right to want to do that. But when they say things like that, they either don't understand the difference between the two terms I mentioned, it they simply care about making money and have no interest in your idea whatsoever.

Run. Away.
Yes, but how is he to communicate to his employee to stay vigilant?
Send your architect home to build a rocking chair over his weekend. See if he calls you back on Monday.

A take home test is a very clear statement by management that your time is less important than their process.

As a professional, you only have your time and skill as your saleable assets. You have the choice of giving them away for free. You could, of course, take the test and then present them a bill for your services.

Another interesting question to ask would be: "How many of your senior management were hired as programmers who passed a whiteboard test or a take home test?" Clearly, according to the market myth, those who did pass were "the best and the brightest". It only stands to reason that upper management is composed of programmers.

Ball-pits are in plain sight, if you choose to see. Ball-pit companies who whiteboard and use take home tests are also in plain sight, if you choose to see beyond the "best and brightest" market hype.

I really respected a Lisp legendary programmer, Daniel Weinreb. He worked at ITA software on airline reservation software. We had many discussions. I'd love to have worked with him. But ITA has the same testing game and I couldn't convince myself to bother. I'm certain I could pass their tests. I've been programming in Lisp since the 1970s. And ITA was a 5-star restaurant kind of company. But those tests are a "Clown-Nose" warning to me. I just walked away.

Walking away has a cost. But so does management games like quarterly status reviews, yearly performance reviews, monthly reports, 1 to 5 rating scales, etc. Clueless management does things like make a rating scale of 1 to 5 and then fires the 5 performers. They have never heard of the Deming Prize (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deming_Prize), and never bothered to learn what Deming makes painfully obvious. You really should watch Demings Red Bead test https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckBfbvOXDvU

Ball-pits and Clown-noses are a sure sign that managers are not well trained, indeed that they are not themselves professional managers.
You... do realize that it's quite easy to make the former out of the later, and that's how every FP parser combinator library works.

Using a combinator to combine two undecorated funtions into one, you don't need to result to two streams, you can significantly simplify your runtime by only needing one. It's been written for you: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.11.1.0/docs/Contro...

Please consider that the incredible strength of ADTs is that you can just write generic code to combine those things without resorting to the crabtastic pattern matches that you're proposing, AND avoid the ugly implicitly unpredictably ordered world that you're describing.

Heck, we don't even need to resort to combinators for this. It's just you making up a complex case by saying, "What if I hide half of example 2 by handwaving it?" You still are going to have a case1/case2 decomposition in your second version. It's universally worse.
Too many people don't care. Just look how many people are plugging away at AI even though it could easily lead to extinction level events. Even before that people were making the H bomb and even other smaller scale weapons. Too many people are too greedy and don't care.

I just don't think this kind of opting out is going to do much. Maybe slow things down a little, but not that much.
If they can pair you up with a drop-off already on the way to your exact location by having you wait a couple minutes, I would estimate this is easily worth 20% to the driver, assuming average trip time is on the order of 10-20 minutes.
You make a whole plan for quitting your job. Thinking about becoming a homeless for a few months but you give up. You aren't strong enough.

So, I actually quit my corporate job and spent 5.7 years homeless. I had my reasons (health related). It was the right choice for me. I can see it being the right choice for others at times.

But this is not one of those times. Being homeless sucks, and I had alimony.

If you think you feel like shit now, you really don't want to face choices like "Spend a few bucks on a hot meal because I have no cooking facilities or stand in line with other homeless people for up to two hours to get a free meal at a soup kitchen. The free meal will be lousy and I will be surrounded by sick people smoking and being assholes the entire time."

You maybe need a different social circle. My mom is an immigrant. I am very familiar with helping the extended family yadda. If your people don't get that, get new people. Their limited world view is hardly the only one out there.
Worked great on my iPhone 7, surprisingly. Very cool.
You can boot with two additional boot parameters:

systemd.log_level=debug rd.debug

That will get you very verbose logging to the journal, it'll include all the dracut stuff, and systemd setting up jobs and going through all sorts of logic. To read the result:

sudo journalctl -b -o short-monotonic

I prefer monotonic time even though with these two boot options the startup will be significantly slower, it'll give you a better idea of the relative cost of everything than date/time.
> I do have a problem believing that all of the problems since the Model 3 started production were caused by sabotage.

As do I. I don't think anyone's claiming otherwise. Model 3 certainly has had more than one issue.
“Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. At home I dream that at Naples, at Rome, I can be intoxicated with beauty, and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea, and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I seek the Vatican, and the palaces. I affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go.”
And the amount Uber keeps has to go way up too, if Uber is to cease operating at multi-billon dollar per year losses to become profitable. Currently they only take 20-25% and the rest of the required income to meet operating expenses is subsidized by VC funding.

And the losses are so large that it likely means both raising prices to riders and reducing the net payout to drivers at the same time.
Title is wrong. After reading the article, what the journalist meant is not "motivated" but "productive".

(You can still be motivated about many things except your work)

Maybe it's because every time people talk about FP, someone has to dredge up an OO (read: enterprise Java) strawman showing all of its alleged deficiencies?
It likely isn't what he's looking for, but if he's feeling that badly because of these difficulties (which are a difficult struggle, to be sure, but not catastrophic by any measure) it's not his life that's the problem. For some biochemical or psychological reason it's hitting him harder than it should; that's called, in many cases, clinical depression.

And importantly, in those cases, it's fixed by psychological means- usually not by life success, even when such success occurs.
With the recently released VPNHub [0], it seems like they're willing to branch out and I see this as a possibility.

I think that's (a small) part of it. The surface reason is that EA did the same thing for a long time, creating players that looked like their real life counterparts with their real life attributes and real life numbers, etc.

That's what bit them. You're really going to be hamstrung fighting an open-world, modifiable game unless you're showing obvious negligence in policing it.
Verizon, unfortunately. Though a lot of the issue isn't signal but bandwidth. There are just too many people. You'll have five bars and nothing will load. That's what caused me to leave T-Mobile.

> It would be good if either of you could back up your claims

If any of the people in this thread wish to have a go at that, try here: http://www.killedbypolice.net/kbp2018

Pick a year, note how many police shootings are listed there for that year, then generate 20 random numbers in the range [1, N] where N is the number of said shootings, and look at the corresponding killings. That should give some reasonable insights.
Pretty telling excerpt of the business BS going on from Wikipedia:

ESPN NFL 2K5 was the first in the 2K series priced at $19.99 the day it shipped, much lower than market leader Madden NFL at $49.99. This greatly reduced Madden sales that year; one EA Sports developer recalled that "[i]t scared the hell out of us".[1] EA reduced Madden NFL 2005's price to $29.95. In December 2004 EA Sports acquired an exclusive rights agreement with the NFL and NFLPA to be the sole creator of NFL video games.[2] The deal terminated 2K Sports production of any further NFL games. The ensuing season, Madden 2006, saw pricing returned to the $49.99 MSRP.

In December 2010, a U.S. district court judge certified a class action anti-trust lawsuit against Electronic Arts for anti-competitive practices to proceed.[3] Electronic Arts settled the class action suit in July 2012 for $27 million, and retained its exclusive NFL license.[4][5]

As sibling points out, cross validation, which is the front-line approach to avoiding overfitting for supervised classification problems.
> Wow, the level of paranoia he's going into is impressive.

Whereas my reading suggested a moderate and cautious response was being exercised.

There is a lot of wealth resting on this and similar projects not succeeding.

> And amazing how close his speech is moving (in form) to Trump's: it is all about "rumors", "alleged", "witch hunt", "unfair"

'all about' ? I'm not seeing the similarities at all.

He used the word rumour, but you've introduced alleged, witch hunt, and unfair into the above quote.
There is a middle ground here. He's achieved some great things for sure. No doubt about that. He's also playing fast and loose with the finances of his companies - and since they are all intertwined through various debts, any one of them faltering could be catastrophic for all of them.
> I’d like to see the Linux desktop improve. And I think a wakeup call is needed

This. Absolutely this. Please don’t take his post as a personal attack, and consider the possibility that Linux is not as usable as it should be.
One interesting counterexample: Bhutan. Open to all visitors, but they need to pay $200 per day for the privilege. This includes basic/3-star accommodation and meals, you can opt to pay more if you wish and Aman has a string of resorts with $1000/night price tags if you do.

Couple this with an authoritarian monarchy that does things like enforce local dress code by law, and you get most of the benefits of tourism without many of the downsides.

Of course, it's debatable how well this model would adapt to tourist destinations that aren't obscure mountainous hermit kingdoms...
I bought Blitz for the PC and remember playing it using my Microsoft Sidewinder joystick. Sometimes I'd invite my friend over and we'd play against each other on the same computer. He'd get the keyboard and I'd get the joystick.

There are some retro venues that still have it. Otherwise, it's pretty hard to find. I wonder if it can be played on Dolphin.
Not sure if it changes your point at all, but the changes were to the manufacturing operating system, not the car OS. I'm not familiar with manufacturing but I imagine there are a ton of different systems and perhaps not all are as secure as the other. I recall reading they needed some paint improvements, so perhaps they changed something there. I don't imagine they would have software controlling paint totally locked down.
Please. They drive around on roads that they don't pay for, in cars that they don't own, using drivers that they don't pay. The routing engine is Google's (they all use Maps). The rest of the stuff is impressive, and not something that you can put together in a day, or even a year. But I don't think it should be as difficult as it is for them to make a profit. I genuinely don't know what their expenses are other than giving away shit for free.
Won't there be some point at which they're established and don't need to work so hard at those things?
It also didn’t come with the Dreamcast, so no guarantee that a player would have one.
That's why they call it work.

It's not always fun or perfect.

Sounds like you are doing alright, able to help your family, find jobs and able to change jobs. So focus on the positive.

Now as far as doing your own thing that's a great dream to work at. You can do it while working. Just don't try to go the investor route.

> From the standpoint of anyone trying to sabotage Tesla, the risk/reward ratio is extremely high.

Can you show your working in that calculation please?

My understanding is that the reward / risk ratio is extremely high for more than a handful of obvious players.
Elon says that the person claimed he did it because he didn't get a promotion he wanted. That's probably true because it would be the least extraordinary possibility. But it doesn't hurt to consider and prepare for extraordinary circumstances.
I would say it's like the difference between China and America having a major environmental accident - we treat developing economies and businesses differently from established ones.
And fwiw, Mindfulness meditation exacerbated my anhedonic depression to the point where I was no longer able to take care of myself.

I wouldn't worry about it. If you're at the beta stage then the app is already ahead going to market that it would cost significant time/resources for a competitor to catch up. By the time they do, you'll have already iterated further.

Release, iterate, repeat.
There's a parallel in the tobacco industry of how seemingly harmful policies are actually beneficial for certain parties.

Philip Morris, the manufacturers of Marlboro cigarettes, lobbied in favour of laws restricting tobacco advertising. The logic behind this is that they have such strong brand name recognition, if tobacco advertising was banned they'd cement their position as the market leader, as there would be no way for other brands to gain market awareness.
Even the best funded public transit services are substantial money losers. Paris covers 70 cents of every dollar, Madrid 60 cents, and even in Berlin and Munich its 30 cents.

But that covers 100 percent of their expenses. If Uber had to shell out to fix the streets that they use, I bet it wouldn't be so cheap.
These machinations were not set forth by Donald Trump. This erosion has been a long time coming. He is a drop in the ocean.

In a lot of these scientific do or don’t debates - people tend to disqualify that there’s a consequence to not building the technology.

In the H-Bomb example, what would happen if Oppenheimer didn’t help develop the bomb? Russia most certainly still would have. And the world would be a different place today.

China, Russia, shit - North Korea are all working on super shady projects that you not I would want any part of. However that doesn’t stop the technology from being developed - and in some dire cases - not making the technology domestically puts us at a disadvantage.

This isn’t me saying that Amazon should continue providing Facial Recognition software to the Government. This is just saying never doing evil isn’t always the best solution - on a global scale.
I wouldn't suggest this to be paranoia. It's simply reality. Wall Street profits from the stock cratering right now. Its not unfathomable that some hedge fund would go to extreme lengths to embed a mole into the Tesla team to cause sabotage.

There's a (mediocre) documentary on Netflix about Bill Ackman's famous Herbalife short. In there they detail the hundreds of $1000 spent just defending his short position through hiring former Herbalife people, funding legal campaigns, funding support groups. If you're short to the tune of a few $100 million - a few $100k is pocket change for these guys.
This is a very naive comment. There will always be a small handful of engineers that can push the button to move code into PROD or even change code in PROD live. Ideally, with mature controls, the people in this list is short. But to jump to the conclusion that Tesla doesn't use good practises is very short sighted. Who's to say that external parties didn't target this person specifically because of their role/influence.
False equivalency. Grexit, Brexit, Frexit...the political realities of the EU are unlike those of most other TLDs.

As mentioned in the article, KDE. I started with xfce because I liked the lightweight nature of it. But it was lacking in a lot of ways. Once I started using KDE I never looked back. It takes a little bit of configuring to get it how you like, but you can make your desktop fit your workflow exactly how you like it. I've never had problems. Using windows or other desktop environments feels clunky and inefficient compared to the setup i've slowly built and tweaked to my needs over the years.

This is a perfect example of social governance: stockholders feeling empowered to control how a company operates. We need to see more of this type of governance. Ultimately, shareholders should just vote with their dollars. Sell a stock you dont like or dont invest in the first place.
> I would be generous in agreeing with a statement about Rust making it a little more difficult to end up with a deadlock or unwanted race condition, except that's not true when compared with many other high level languages.

It is easy to specifically describe what Rust prevents: unsynchronized memory access from multiple threads. What other high-level languages allow read-write shared-memory multithreading and guarantee that?

> Also nothing is impossible until you prove it via formal methods (e.g. TLA+).

The fact that unsynchronized memory access is impossible in safe Rust (modulo compiler bugs, CPU bugs, etc.) is something that nobody seriously doubts. It's obvious. I'm glad people are working on proving it, but the proof is an academic exercise.

There would be numerous problems with 100% made up teams and players that would make it too risky for any big developer to attempt.

1. It would be hard to market without a single recognizable face or team.

2. It would be hostile to casual/novice users who couldn't play the game at its full potential out of the box.

3. It would be hard to create the online and esport modes that other sports games thrive on as you couldn't allow those custom rosters in competitive modes.

That's not hard and fast, though. While no model is perfect, robust models can "handle" outliers. Worst case, you know when it happens and train with more a priori.
