Here is better article that actually goes into explaining that it’s just part of the assembly line in order to fix a bottleneck (as in `in addition to`). https://electrek.co/2018/06/25/tesla-model-3-battery-product...

I think I saw that one of Watson’s engineers is now working on a crypto project. SingularDTV? Heh, shows how much confidence was left in the program.
Sure they're not putting together internal combustion engines but still, tolerances are important and can vary quite a bit without temperature control.
To be fair, there is very little technical content... I don't think they could repackage this content into an arxiv-style paper if they wanted to.
Thanks. So it looks like it is a website ( https://monitor.firefox.com/ ), and the browser will pop up a dialog that navigates users to it.
> What gives manufacturing experts pause about Tesla’s tent is that it was pitched to shelter an assembly line cobbled together with scraps lying around the brick-and-mortar plant. It smacks of a Hail Mary move after months of stopping and starting production to make on-the-fly fixes to automated equipment, which Musk himself has said was a mistake.

> “The existing line isn’t functional, it can’t build cars as planned and there isn’t room to get people into work stations to replace the non-functioning robots,” Warburton said in an email. “So here we have it—build cars manually in the parking lot.”

When the journalist abandons fact checking and simply goes with publishing this kind of tripe, the reader has no other option but to disregard everything the journalist, their editor or the publication touches.
I think the title of the submission is mis-editorialized. The comparison that my colleagues working on this project make is that it's like HTTPS Everywhere, or even more like the HSTS preload list, rather than like Let's Encrypt. I don't think you'll find the comparison to Let's Encrypt on the site itself.

(Edit: in addition to the site tester that you noticed, there is also a public policy list and some forthcoming tools to enforce STARTTLS on the client MTA side when delivering e-mail, preventing downgrade and MITM attacks.)

However, you can also use Let's Encrypt to make this more useful by getting a publicly-trusted certificate for the TLS service on your mail server, and then listing your mail server with this list!

The introductions my colleagues posted about this today are at

which will hopefully give a clearer explanation of what the service is meant for.
Why? Once the earth is covered by single cell organisms there's going to be an incentive for even the simplest of cooperation. Quorum sensing can help reproduction, survival, collecting food, surviving drying out, etc. Once cells loosely cooperation that starts providing more specialization. Cells that have thicker cell walls, or better offense/defense, or more expensive pathways for breaking down more complex chemicals, etc. Seems like the natural tendency would be towards more complexity heading towards where you have cells that specialize being outside (and help control PH and water) vs inside (that specialize in other things taking advantage of the ideal conditions).

Keep in mind how many single cell organisms you can have in a single drop, how many drops are in the ocean, and how long a billion years is. Even a small competitive advantage turns into exponential growth for the community of cells. The noise of random mutations is going to eventually lead to a cooperation between cells that's going to cause a feedback loop.

Cell -> multi cellular seems easy and obvious compared to no cells -> cells.
I'm no pro but I've worked in a few auto assembly lines.
They are constantly reworked and the only real support they get from above is lighting and HVAC. Stamping isn't going to get moved very easily, but most other processes are pretty much bolted to the floor. As long as you have power and reasonable environmental control I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's ghetto but whatever.
I just think that logically it makes sense that someone can not want to live any longer and I think my partner would understand that.

With my health there’s always a non-zero chance that I’ll just collapse on a long run from low blood sugar and that’ll be that. I figure if it happens it happens. My savings is mostly intended for my partner and my cat in that situation. Not interested in giving it to anyone else. And it’s not like it’s a ton either. Would get eaten up in a hurry by doctors and prescriptions.

One day when I’m older and the future is a little clearer, maybe I’ll be more interested in spending more of it or giving some away to other people.
I've said this before on other topics (new social network projects).

If you don't consider how your internet-thingie-service will handle/moderate abuse from the outset, your planning is fundamentally broken, and you will effectively be enabling abusers and harassers.

Proper security can often not be bolted onto products like this after-the-fact. Trying to ship a "minimum viable product" in the hardware space is extremely irresponsible, particularly if (like many IoT things) you have no facility for updating devices remotely.

My old Chief Flying instructor was a test pilot in the RAF back in the 50's and 60's. He has many stories about pilots who ejected from their 'out of control' jets only to hang in their parachutes a minute later watching their aircraft flying along perfectly normally.

His opinion was that most planes have a better idea how to stabilise than the pilot does, and in fact when taking us through emergency recovery manoeuvres in the air, he used to suggest in most cases the first reaction should be "hands off stick and throttle" (obviously only where altitude and time permitted) just to see if the airplane would self correct, before applying any inputs ourselves.

Ask HN: What is it like to experience a PIP?
Given the recent discussion around Amazon's "jury" system, I'm curious if people have examples of PIPs they've been on or managers that have put employees on PIP.

I was a manager for a short while and the only underperforming employee was transferred to a team of his choosing since he had a long history good reputation overall and just seemed to dislike my particular set of projects.

The whole idea of IBL is apparently just even communicating properly what problem you're having is a better learning experience than looking at an answer. As an anecdote a few times when I've asked math.stackexchange I found the answer just by thinking about my question.
The “tent” probably will result in a better quality production line since it is a single arch structure with no internal support pillars restricting access or positioning.

The “tent” also likely has better quality air due to not using 40 year old air handling plant.

The mischaracterisiation of the new building as a tent is indicative of the lack of actual concerns about the new line, meaning the short propagandists have to invent new fears.

> Everything you said is actually pretty strange. ... The idea that a scummy and a sympathetic defendant will get the same treatment is genuinely weird and not at all an instinctive approach to justice.

This is like a topsy-turvy world. The idea that a scummy or sympathetic defendant would not get the same treatment is genuinely weird and not at all an instinctive approach to justice.

Equal treatment under the law is justice. The only thing that should distinguish a scummy or sympathetic defendant are the __facts__ in their respective cases. Not the law.

By the time a case reaches the Supreme Court, it is never really about the defendant—the facts of a case are almost never in dispute—the question is usually a very narrow disagreement over a particular matter of law.

The figures you cite don’t seem to say anything about the fraction of people who stay in one place for ~15 years.

Is it growing? Shrinking? The data you link says nothing, since it is just YoY mobility data. People moving in that year was at an all-time low. But this does not preclude, e.g. average five-year mobility for simultaneously being at an all-time high.

This isn’t a problem, except that you so assuredly state that the parent comment is “factually incorrect” while not actually providing data that would back up that claim.
A mostly unrelated and offtopic comment: It's been a misconception that the $20 and $100 U.S. Dollar bills contain some RFID-like passive tracking capability embedded within the "ribbon" security feature. If you want to have an expensive and uneventful couple minutes, put a $20 in a microwave for a few seconds to "disable" the chip, but be sure to have a cup of water around. The foil-beanie wearing crowd claims that the result of the microwaving, which burns Jackson's face, is proof. Nevermind the actual fact that a majority of the ink on the front of the bill is on Jackson's face, and that the ink contains metal used for pigmenting and other proprietary security measures which is likely the reason it smolders or catches fire first.

Anyways, the reason I bring this up is to highlight the paranoia of some that think that long-range RFID scanners can actually locate large stacks of highly valuable "untraceable" currency, which might be used by the highway patrol to identify potential targets to pull over for civil asset forfeiture reasons.

the characteristics of the building are mostly irrelevant and a discerning reader will pick up the tent characterisation as hyperbolic. The main thrust is that the decision to set up an ad hoc manufacturing plant could be seen as either

- chaotic/desperate or

- pragmatic and brilliantly subversive of the status quo.

I'm sure we'll get lots of articles painting both sides. Time will tell which one of the two it is.
Which totally defeats the purpose of dll's, right? I'm not judging; this just seems like a pretty condemning argument against the practice as a whole
subjective experience here. i was once a server, and I'd have greatly preferred a living wage plus token tips.

the worst part being the loophole around minimum wage is that it incentivizes the widespread practice of tip pooling by restaurant owners.

nowadays when you tip your waiter you're also tipping the busser, foodrunner, hostess (and with the recent law change allowing it, the line cook).

it is too easily used as a tool to skirt wage laws by making every employee a tipped one.
The Dota AI system has 3 'levels' to it - team level, mode level and action level. The mode/action level can choose to ignore or respect the team level as it sees fit. [1] Additionally, they say under the "Coordination" section:

OpenAI Five does not contain an explicit communication channel between the heroes’ neural networks. Teamwork is controlled by a hyperparameter we dubbed “team spirit”. Team spirit ranges from 0 to 1, putting a weight on how much each of OpenAI Five’s heroes should care about its individual reward function versus the average of the team’s reward functions. We anneal its value from 0 to 1 over training.

To me, that reads as 5 individual agents, one for each character.

I think it depends on the company. Here's two anecdotes for what it's worth:

I worked for a well known defense force contractor and worked under someone who was put on a PIP. The PIP was just a formality in the overall scheme of things as they couldn't fire them without putting them through one first. It was a death march with no chance of success. It was hard hearing them go through it as they were a nice enough person, just not at all suited to the role they were in. In short, PIPs were not seen as methods to actually get an employee back on track in their current role or another one; they were already fired, it's just got a ~12 month notice.

In another organisation a coworker of mine was absolutely useless and were put on a PIP. They genuinely tried to get them back on track and the PIP lasted for a very long time and even renewed their contract when they had a perfect opportunity to let them go. Ultimately they weren't fired directly, when their contract came to its end they put the job up for applications and they didn't win it back. I didn't find out about their PIP until years after the fact and TBH I wish the team knew about it. For all this time we thought they were getting away with their terrible work ethic.
Much like in The Princess Bride, when companies say they are moving to the cloud for "cost," that word does not mean what they think it means. What they are really saying is that it is "cheaper" to swipe their corporate card for some AWS each month than it is for them to deal with the political and cognitive effort of doing it themselves. You know you can cook a better and cheaper meal at home but then you have a lot more effort than if you just go out to a restaurant and swipe your card. Same deal here, and most companies just want to get on with being a health care provider, energy company, financial services company, etc and they are willing to admit that they just don't have the stomach for IT. Going to the cloud is one of those places where they say cost but what they really mean is <networking | servers | power | etc> are _hard_.
I completely agree except for the part about what John Oliver does being comedy. It's just not funny. IMO this whole genre has devolved into being mostly not actually comedy anymore. Stewart and Colbert were both hilarious, but I feel like that was a primary goal of their content. Now it seems like it's gone from comedic and satirical opiniomated news/talk show to just a comedian doing an opinionated news/talk show.
I think Tesla could have taken an alternative, if very non-Elon-Musky approach. Their stock was sky-high based on the assumption that they could dominate EV production and sell huge volume for several years. Instead of building an entire new assembly line from scratch with debt financing, Tesla could have gone big. They could have done an equity deal to buy an entire car company with a flexible assembly line. They could have continued producing the legacy cars and produced Teslas. And they could have taken advantage of the acquired expertise and supply lines to get NUMI up and running much more efficiently.

Subaru, for example, would have been a bargain.

What structures today are likely to survive long term?

My point is that there is an attitude today that societies from antiquity are "primitive". This is the salient point. They were different and took a different technological path.

Yes we can do many things they didn't and they did many things we can't. The point is the attitude of today towards the societies of the past. All we can really say is that they were different technologically.

So what if we can communicate on the internet? That is a blip on the time scale. How long will that actually last? Is it a sign of "high technology" or is it just a different technological path?

If one looks at the technology available in the 1930's to the 1950's, we use a completely different technology today and all one can say is that it is different.

After looking at the subject for many years (decades in fact), all I can say is that we have travelled down a different technological path. Is it better or more advanced than another? I can't say since I can't see what could have been.

Technological systems can be robust or frail. How would you classify the technological systems of today?

A coal power plant is also a central spreading point of ... well poison really (sulphur oxides are essentially poison). The ugliness of coal power plants just begins with their looks.

They've got large coal dumping grounds. They usually have a freight train station that had coal dumped all over it, so everything within 10 meters of it died. They just let all of this sit in open air usually, plus there's the massive amount of smoke, so you can smell them from kilometers away even when there is wind (and let's just not discuss when there isn't, just visit Beijing).
Ask HN: Generalized trajectories of life choices
I'm interested in knowing - on an individual/familial level, across countries and cultures - what are the careers/achievements/joys/losses/mistakes of people similar to me. What is the career and likely trajectories of X people like, what their children and family life is like, and how they rank against other groups. ( X = first/second/third/fourth generation immigrants, non-immigrant, doctors/engineers, non-immigrant businessmen, non-immigrant artistic/cultural professionals).

What they're children's life trajectories are like, their average income, quality of life, what happens if they get hooked on drugs, what happens if they get into sports/music etc. Any other life choices. I try to get an idea through LinkedIn, of where people started in the 70s, 80s, and where they've ended up today, but it is a very small sample size. I'm lookong for some type of census studies/research on what groups of people are on average successful, on a generational timescale. But not statistics - actual life stories aggregated 100s at a time.
