GM just had their annual meeting for shareholders.

They said they'll increase production of Bolt but refused to say by how much and by when.

In contrast, Tesla lays out their future plans months, sometimes years in advance.

Tone aside, it seems to me that Tesla is being measured here by a completely different stick.

Compared to all other public companies they provide vastly more "legitimate" information.

Just for a few examples of "legitimate" questions that well known companies refuse to answer, even if politely:

* GM won't tell you any details about future plans for Bolt and other EVs. Tesla: "we'll make 10k by end of 2018". GM: we'll increase production, don't ask us when or by how much"

* Amazon only recently disclosed number of Prime subscribers, and only total number, not breaking down e.g. US from international

* Netflix won't tell shareholders viewing numbers for any of their shows

I could go on talking about information that companies don't share.

It's just bizarre that people expect Tesla will just disclose anything that's asked.
She only won compensation for identity insurance she had paid for. So, TBH, unless folks are willing to pay for identity insurance and give a lot of personal information to yet another damn company, there's still nothing the rest of us can do that don't want to do that other than wait around for our identity is stolen so we can sue for damages..

Edit: if you disagree, I'd love to hear how we can hit back. Because I've not found a way, nor seen anyone else do so in a way that doesn't require what West did in this article (paying for some service).

Edit2: I misunderstood, she did not have to pay for insurance to win.

As someone who has dealt with depression my entire life -- first therapist was at age 12! -- I'd like to share something with you all that one of my therapists shared with me.

The world is a depressing place, if you view it through the lens presented by the news media. Maybe ditch all that noise, and see if you're happier.

I don't like the idea of being uninformed any more than anyone else does. But this truly, truly helped me, and I say it on the off chance that it might help one of you.

I don't mean this in any way to dismiss sexual harassment as a non-entity, but in some cases, the difference between flirting and sexual harassment basically entirely comes down to the level of interest that the recipient has. If they're into the perpetrator, it's flirting. If they're not, it's harassment. Given that, surely you can imagine that evolution would favor men who overestimate the degree to which their advances are viewed as favorable by the recipient.
> Requiring protocol level DRM to be included in video/music streaming technologies has always baffled me.

> What's the point?

It's the same reason you put a lock on the door to your house. You know the lock is easily bypassed by tools. The windows are easily broken. The door can probably be easily forced open. But you still lock the door when you leave in the morning.

Locks are about keeping casual theives as honest people. DRM is about keeping casual pirates as honest customers. It's about making it just difficult enough to copy that most people will consider it not worth the bother. It's about saying, "You must be this determined to break the law."
Then there is no reason to market such systems and their imaginary future capabilities to be completely driverless.

A land tax would reduce the price of land, and farmers would borrow less in the future to buy it.

In effect it would probably be a one off hit to real estate prices. I think the distortions of a land tax are better than others and support it.

I own real estate but it's only 5x my wage, the current system sucks - taxing human effort and creativity is about the worst thing you can tax.
The first time I dived into R, I was confused.

The second time, I had a purpose and found enough code to copy to achieve it. I was rewarded.

The third time, I had a more complex problem demanding use of JSON from Elastic Search, and found that the two packages out there in git are basically orphanware, use dplyr in extremely confusing ways, and offer little or no advantage to simplistic HTTP fetching and direct to JSON parsing. Which is a huge shame, because the idea of an elastic search abstraction is very attractive. But. "it just didn't work out of the box"

I am very clear I am an R "consumer" not an R developer. But, at this point, absent Shiny and a gui, I think that Python and Numpy has as much to offer me basically.

Some people say the syntax is FP friendly. I have been trying to learn FP in Haskell and I think R is about the worst notation you could invent to sell FP.
What is the impact of this exactly? If "FP State" just means floating point register values then those rarely contain interesting stuff.

If this also affects register used for crypto acceleration then it could be used for stuff like leaking browser secrets from javascript, right?

I can't view the post right now, so no idea about the content or if anything is fixed, but that colon syntax is supported by NTFS and called "alternate data streams". Granted the feature isn't exactly prominent and tools have various support for them, but it is getting better. Powershell's Get-Item has a -stream option, for example.
Looking at libgcrypt's patch [1], it looks like the mitigation technique they're using is to blind the private key and message hash with a random number before performing point addition, and then unblinding the result of the point addition. This unfortunately requires an extra 3 point multiplication operations, so it probably isn't a good solution where performance is critical.

According to the article, the private key information is leaked through memory caches, so it looks like libgcrypt's solution just ensures that the data written to memory caches is random, rather than leaking the private key.

Also according to the article, libsecp256k1 isn't vulnerable, and they still only do 2 point multiplications [2] (compared to libgcrypt's 5 point multiplications). So it is possible to mitigate this attack efficiently.

Justin linked the blog post[0] which is probably the best written description. The short of it is that when you upload layers to Quay, it stream calculates the BitTorrent pieces. Private layers are given unique swarms isolated by namespace and peer discovery is protected by a tracker[1] that contains middleware validating JWTs passed in the announce URL of the torrent. A custom client[2] can be used to simplify downloading and importing of images into the local docker CAS.

Honestly, most organizations don't have sophisticated enough networks that the benefits outweigh the complexity of p2p orchestration. This is why it's popular at Alibaba, Facebook, Twitter, but most people are still just using the OCI distribution protocol[3].

Feel free to contact me (Keybase is in my profile) if interested. I'd love to get more people on the path to p2p, but it's often a solution looking for a problem.

> HN hates R. HN loves lisp, and R as a language shares a much greater affinity with lisp languages than python or Go do

HN was started by someone who wrote a book on, and flipped a startup using, Lisp. Python and Go are both used a lot by a buyer of startups, and HN exists to deliver startups, or their IP, to those buyers. R is more of a language for helping its users do data analysis, perhaps in corporate offices, and hence doesn't have as much use for HN's business purpose. Submissions on Python and Go are more likely to stick to HN's front page.
> I don't like namespaces. With namespaces a thing is known under one name here but not somewhere else.

I like namespaces for this exact reason. Basically, never ever use "using namespace foo" or namespace aliasing and always fully qualify your symbols "foo::bar". Now I always know where something is coming from.

> it also makes use of crude tools like grep much less effective.

It also makes grepping much simpler. For example, I can grep a file for "std::" to find all standard library symbols used.

As a side benefit, while I said above never to use namespace aliasing, I did recently come across a situation where it was actually beneficial. The code in question was using std:: containers, but it would have been nice to be able to optionally use EASTL containers instead (which are mostly drop-in replacements with different performance characteristics). One simple way to do this would be to use a different namespace in place of std:: (I'm gonna just say foo:: for this example) and then do something like this:

#ifdef USE_EASTL
namespace foo = eastl;
#include <eastl headers>
#else
namespace foo = std;
#include <std headers>
#endif

> (Btw., namespace names could conflict as well ;-> )

Sure, but they can be aliased.
I agree that everything you say is true or has been true of Bitcoin at some point.

However, the more important question is how all of those things will change going forwards.

Is Bitcoin's volatility decreasing? Yes.

Will Bitcoin ever become stable enough to be a reliable store of value comparable to gold or the US dollar? We'll see.

Will cryptocurrency security and management improve? Most certainly.

Will new regulations help weed out bad actors? One would hope so.

Will Bitcoin become easier to use on mobile devices? I can't see why not.

Will Bitcoin transactions become instant or near-instant? Many people in the space are working on it.

Will Bitcoin become more intuitive? I would bet yes.

It's not that they can get cheaper staff, it's that they can get reliable and talented staff.

Thirded. WeWork has horrible sound design.
can you back your claims? cause billions of dollars are stored as value and many people including me use it to buy stuff.
Owning the real estate is exactly why McDonald's is valuable :) but there are odd terms.

But it doesn't answer the existential question as to their valuation.

I don't see how WW has any systematic advantages at all.

Nobody really cares if offices are in WW or some copycat clone.

Many companies are wearing of paying heavy premiums for such offices and want out as soon as they can.

Real estate is an old business. There is no 'new' here. Dressing up places, making them cool and selling at a premium is not new.

I just don't see where the magic sauce in this business is.
Completely dropping all forms of speculative execution means dropping overall performance to a tenth of today. There are really hard limits on how fast any operation, especially memory operations, can be done. The way we have made our CPUs faster is by making them do more operations in parallel, at all levels. At the lowest level, in straight line code, this very often requires speculation to achieve.

Speculation is not fundamentally incompatible with security. It's just that literally everyone in the industry never though that leaking information out of speculative context was possible -- and so there is no hardening anywhere. Now that it was proven possible, people are rushing to find all the ways this can be exploited. New CPUs currently being designed will fix all these, and then eventually we will have speculation without security issues.

Except for Spectre variant 1. That will always stay with us, because there is no sensible fix for it. The only real solution to that is to accept that branches cannot be used as a security boundary. This is mostly relevant to people implementing secure sandboxes and language runtimes. Going forward, the only reasonable assumption is that if you let a third party run their code in a process, no matter how you verify accesses or otherwise try to contain that code, you should assume it has a read access to the entire process. Any real security requires you to make use of the proper OS-provided isolation.
I hear you on that end of tracking customer experience.

That being said, they trump up their internal social network as part of their valuation, but it barely gets used in my WeWork and I can see globally that it doesn’t get used much except for selling and some reference requests.

It’s used at a rate of like less than one posting a month per person.

I sort of feel "let a million lawsuits bloom" I think there's a usefulness in the death by 1000 cuts approach and I think there will be class action cases whether or not 100 or 1000 people decide to sue in small claims. I also think the schema is a little different (tho I am not a lawyer) so you can make somewhat different arguments and claims.
They bought Meetup recently so maybe they are planning some sort of synergy?
It's just a poorly designed language that teaches the wrong things. Once the things it teaches are learned they are difficult to unlearn. You forget how to do things without JavaScript when you write JavaScript for a while. You forget how to do much of anything that is not JavaScript.

Return on investment entirely depends on the market... you can do research fairly cheap with tools like spyfu, SEM rush to figure out what your market spends per month. Be really careful starting out and I would recommend getting your google adwords certification if you have time. Just be aware that in many markets competitors with non-related products will drive the cost up, or competition between market participants will drive the cost up so that there is nothing to gain except for market share (I.E. you pay google to not lose your place in the market)... you should also be aware of keyword situations where it will cost you not to get a good organic ranking as opposed to just having a good Ad position... [hopefully thats enough of a primer] tldr; research before doing anything & it can definitely be worth it if you're in the right position.
RHEL kernels are heavily patched, i.e. stuff gets backported from new kernels, sometimes even from -rc if needed. The version number is therefore not that useful.

The thing is, who do you think owns the identity protection companies, and what do you give you if they fail to protect your identity?
Tesla is held to a different standard is precisely because they have been so forthcoming in the past.

If a company is giving regular updates on production and targets and then gets weird about it for one meeting then you can expect a drop. It looks like they are back on track (and are again open about production), but you can bet if they get cagey about it again their stock is going to take a hit. They might be able to transition to less openness if they want to (so they only reveal what they want and don't spook investors), but not one extreme to the other in just one shareholders meeting.

I know this is nitpicking but I did not pay for any identity insurance. I said that if I had to, it would cost this amount and offered low end and high end costs for this. The judge decided to add these numbers together as if I had paid for it and awarded that to me (and I was clear about this in court, I did not fudge it to make it look like I had paid)

"It’s compelling to imagine that a horde of bears, zombified by a brain bug that triggers risky behavior, is terrorizing a small American town. But that’s more likely the stuff of science fiction than of good science."

I'm not so quick to dismiss that possibility. I'm having trouble finding info on Toxoplasma gondii's specific effects on bears, but considering the apparently-unusual taste these bears seem to have for cats, there definitely seems to be a connection there. Probably coincidental, but it's too tantalizing of a possibility to ignore.
Red Hat backports security fixes, hardware support and certain new features to their kernel packages, staying on a stable kernel version throughout the product lifecycle is what allows them to guarantee a consistent kernel ABI that virtually every other distribution throws to the wayside. Personally I prefer not having third-party kernel modules on my servers break every time I run `yum upgrade` like I do with Fedora (oh VMWare, how I hate you so).
Not that I disagree with your premise, but as someone who's never livd in America's most corrupt city, what is it about Chicago that inspires so much confidence with regard to municipal broadband?

You're missing the point. I care less about what she won, but how she won. She won in a way that I'm not willing to do (give info to yet another company, and pay them, then sue for compensation). I suspect I'm not alone.

"FP State" in this case includes MMX and SSE registers; they're handled via the same "lazy context switching" mechanism. Yes, you can steal keys which are being used for AESNI.

Leaking secrets via javascript -- I'll be impressed if someone pulls that off. There's a very tight timing window to exploit this before a trap fires and flushes your pipeline, and I doubt you can get the right instructions in there using javascript.
This is a stupendous example of someone going overboard on their criticisms in order to grandstand.

R may not be the most "beautiful" language in a general perspective, but it certainly is more beautiful than Python when it comes to actual data analysis. There is nothing in R that is as ugly as even the best implemented pandas, numpy, and matplotlib code. All of the options in Python, which is generally pointed to as the "superior" language to R, feel tacked on and hackish.

The real story behind most of the complaints is that they come from software developers who only rarely need to do data analysis that would require R, and therefore use it infrequently and mistake their unfamiliarity with the language with the language being bad.

I also groaned at the part where the author struggled to google questions about R because of its "stupid name". I have literally never, ever had issues Googling anything about R they same way I haven't ever had issues finding answers to my questions about "Python". The author is grasping at straws, and this is a programming blog's equivalent of clickbait.
