Your analysis might make sense if money and profitability and staying solvent was what Elon was most interested in. However, money alone is not the goal; getting us off of oil is the goal. I think that Elon really wanted to make a mass-market car as soon as possible, which explains why he chose to take the harder path of making the mass-market car before the hypercar and the semi's.
The people who write the business logic and the people who do the analytics have different concerns. It's sometimes better to make different database choices for those two systems and just copy the data into the analytics system, rather than make a substandard choice of database to try to accommodate both.

If the devs want to use Mongo, it's their problem -- it shouldn't matter much to the analytics people, because they can just copy the data into a different database that fits their needs.
Critique? When did reciting facts become critique? It's difficult for me to imagine this as a mass market product / service when obesity is so common.

Again. Not a critique. Just stating a fact.
I really wish I could do this 100%.

I leave it off most of the time, but I have to be on-call for my day job every few weeks and can't really not have a phone then and still keep my job.

It's a shame that phones are so closed and proprietary. I looked into changing a phone's IMEI number, and turns out that's illegal in most places and a serious no-no. How can there even be a law like that??
Yeah I agree with you, but we're talking about a delay of two weeks, not years. That's how long it will take to make up the shortfall.

Anyway, Teslas are overpriced and of questionable quality.
Nihilism is exactly what Buddhism represents, in its passive form (rather than the active form of nihilism that Nietzsche offers as a solution) which is why the term "passive nihilism" is used by Nietzsche and Schopenhauer to describe it.

In other words, the key word for Buddhism is detachment (passive).

The key word for active forms of nihilism is destruction. The tearing down of established symbols in order to make way for each person to create his own.
Lots of scooters in SJ also. They seem to attract a disparately minority crowd - which is great except for the normal distribution of assholes who decide it's cool to nearly run down your kids in a pedestrian only area or do stunts right in front of your face.

Given the lack of accountability in policing good behavior I can understand why people are against scooters.
I'm curious as to where this backup battery thing came from? Surely the likes of ifixit would notice extra batteries. If you're going to assert that such a thing is still hidden, then frankly, your mindset is such that there is no lengths you can go to protect yourself from... whatever?

I would think a phone with a removable battery would otherwise serve your concerns.

My primary job for almost 2 years was bringing up boards. It is at the same time immensely challenging and absolutely unappreciated.

As an example of the challenge, My first task in the job was to port a ROM monitor to a custom StrongARM board. StrongARM had JTAG, but no run control, therefore, I could load and run code, but could not stop it or look at memory.

At first, I could only observe (with my eyes) when the board resets. Soon, I could toggle 4 LEDs on the board. That was enough for me to debug by streaming values one nybble at a time. Soon after, I could emit characters from the serial port.

That was the good old days.
Economist Michael Hudson often writes about this. The housing bubble is mostly beneficial to banks, as they get more interest. They know that house prices will go as high as they are willing to lend out.

Where would the profits that go to HFT outfits go if HFT wasn't a thing? Genuine question, I have no idea how that works.
OK, but most jobs do not require the use of cellphones. Aside from oncall periods, my software engineering position certainly does not.
The police department in Reno, NV uses this in conjunction with thermal sensors from a helicopter in northern Reno and Sun Valley. Mostly for drug busts.
That's cool. It sounds like how we all learned to think since time immoral, so I can hardly dispute it.

Rome and Greece showed up thousands of years after early cultures. Rome also had its democracy replaced by a dictatorship.

Okay, there's what the date _is_ (on what calendar, what system of reckoning dates?), and there's how you serialize it.

(month: July; day-of-month: 2; year: 2018) -- can be serialized (written) a variety of ways, ISO-8601 Y-M-D being one of them.

However (month: July; day-of-month: 2; year: Heisei 30) is a different story, not just a question of serialization.

(month: Tamus; day-of-month: 19; year: 5778) -- yet more different.

(month: Shawwal; day-of-month: 18; year:1439)

"Western style dates" above means "the Gregorian calendar". Yes, how you write or serialize it for machine-parsing can be another issue. But dates on _another calendar altogether_ is a bigger one. Although the Japanese calendar that just has a different name for the year, but the months and dates and beginning and ends of the year are synchornized with gregorian -- not as big as the "Hebrew" or "Islamic" calendars which have entirely different months and years with boundaries unrelated to the gregorian calendars'.
So, if I understand you correctly, we need to make houses not "commodities" in an investment sense. But doing so requires producing a lot more housing. That may mean making them "commodities" in a colloquial sense - that they're ordinary, pretty much interchangeable. (Most people, most of the time, don't care very much which brand of potato chips someone brought to the party...)

Easy Invention Ideas and How Timing Plays into It
Surely someone with some RF gear could quickly determine if an iPhone, say, in Airplane Mode ever transmits.
Fair enough. Perhaps there are other uses of mongo going on in addition to exporting it to a different database/format? Otherwise I'd be curious what justifies the mongo choice.

Certainly sometimes you are in a position where you just gotta take what other units in the org give you and deal with it.

But _someone_ in the org is hopefully in the position to be able to articulate why they are using mongo in the first place...
"they can just copy the data into a different database that fits their needs."

That's easier said than done when your database is over 10 TB big.
Ah. Interesting.
While that is true of the basic building blocks of the language, clojure.spec for example does have an overly verbose syntax (I would define it that way, even though it doesn't introduce new basic syntax elements) for function specs and that was one of the main motivations for writing Ghostwheel.

I wouldn't see this as some sort of development in Clojure though and I don't really know if that's what cutler meant anyway. Maybe he'll elaborate.

That's not a quote, it's a, well, headline-level interpretation. Followed by a more exact (but still not exact) interpretation, which states the existence of an inverse relationship; there's considerable support for the idea that an inverse relationship between unemployment and inflation exists at least in the short run, but that it is more complex than the original extension of the Phillips curve to unemployment and general inflation (it originally addressed unemployment and wage inflation) would suggest.
Well, I guess I'm in for a price cut someday when I move to a different part of the country. My electric starts at $0.27/kWh, then goes up to $0.48, then $0.55 for higher usage. I have no idea what the cutoffs are for hitting those higher tiers, as I've never done it.
As a roccbox owner and someone who has made pizza from my earliest memories, I would say there are some tasty frozen pizzas. Totinos comes to mind, it is nothing like a neapolitan or even dominos pizza, but the way it cooks up turns it into a sweet-sauced cheesy cracker. You just can't think of it as traditional pizzs.

It needs to be reminded that, from China's perspective, Taiwan is their territory. Anything that is invested in Taiwan may (or will) eventually end up in Chinese hands. As China grows, they will require deals with Taiwanese companies that are similar to mainland deals.
Mine starts at 27 cents for the cheapest tier, then jumps to 48 and 55 cents for higher use. I'm looking forward to paying the US average some day.

Almost right: the turbine will produce about three megawatts of power. The confusion between power and energy is precisely the problem.
Elon used the same over-promising strategy during the build-up to the start of Model 3 production. Elon promised that Tesla would start producing Model 3s in July 2017, noting that production would not actually start until sometime later; since some supplier somewhere would mess up and miss the deadline (and have themselves fired), they would inevitably be delayed. It's the same thing in this case: promise really aggressively, and be serious about the promise, but understand that Tesla will be delayed by the least lucky, least effective part of the team/production line. This way, Tesla can be aggressive, even though if you go by their promises, they should be _really_ aggressive.
How should we evaluate progress in AI?
I use the recipe from this book + the levain instructions — https://www.amazon.com/Flour-Water-Salt-Yeast-Fundamentals/d...

Highly recommend though I believe the author is located in the Pacific Northwest, and one thing I have found is nearly all recipes should have their hydration ratios adjusted to your local climate. Local humidity / seasons tend to have impacts on dough.
Realistically, Taiwan can't stop it. The language barrier is zero, and the number of Taiwanese living in China is just off-the-charts.

The truth they might have to ultimately face, is that China is too close to them and way bigger. There might be a way to keep balance in between within their means, but to think they can ignore/prevent Chinese influence is just fantasy.
Uh... this is crazy.

Are you suggesting that they both verify the same thing (that a particular legal entity is the owner of the cert, verified by a certain CA), so convey the same security-related information to a client... but with one of them, you pay extra to a CA to get a name in the URL bar?

If the browsers aren't getting a cut of this fee to have _their_ software put someone's name in the URL bar... they're really missing out! It's browser software that's providing the "value" to the person paying the fee, but the CA apparently obtaining the fee, and none of it seems of any value to the user... what am I missing?

I hadn't realized the cert market had gotten _this_ screwy.
I really like the look of that (the less moving parts and work I have to do the better).

The problem is data transformation in an API. Quite often it's not as simple as just taking data out and putting data into a table. I suppose some of that could occur in SQL and some moved client side though. Would be pretty slick to eliminate the whole framework in between.
It's still just 0.5% a year. If Chinese emigrated at the same rate it would be 7m a year. Well within the scope of other countries to manage.

After the war the whole British Empire had the right to live and work in the UK - all 1bn of them. Even with adverts encouraging them to come they only came in tens of thousands a year. The economic differential was even higher then. I think the French Empire gave the right of residence in France around WW1.

The significant mass migrations have come from wars and disasters. Such as Syria most recently. Economic migrations have always been far lower.
I recommend FireFox Focus for mobile. It blocks JS and third party tracking by default. I wish they'd let you toggle between either of those options instead of both at once though.
Well, we used to have a radium paint in our watches

And there used to be radioactive thorium used in the making of lanterns. One company that manufactured the lamps in the early 1900's would just dump the leftover thorium into the ground in downtown Chicago.

Now any time a skyscraper is built in downtown Chicago, the soil has to be tested and often remediated.

The poster to whom you replied has missed the essence of Nietzsche's writings. There is no such thing as "pure nihilism". Rather, Nietzsche talks of passive and active forms of nihilism with passive leading towards detachment and the abandonment of self (eastern mysticism, Schopenhauer favorite) and active being what Nietzsche espouses and offers up as a solution.

Active nihilism is all about "praxis" rather than detachment. The quote from Blade Runner comes to mind:

"The light that burns twice as bright burns half as long - and you have burned so very, very brightly, Roy."

Nietzsche would like every human being to burn like Roy Batty. Humanity performing a wild leap into the unknown trying to manifest its evolutionary potential, free from the straightjacket of religion and inherited morality.
That's good to hear actually.

Right now you get a subdomain of contentsnare.com

I think it really needs the space of a full browser window to get the full experience, especially if there are screenshots/wireframes in the layout.

If this was squashed down into a typical column on the website, it could get a little crowded and hard to follow but I definitely see your point on this.

The best we have right now is the ability to share a request with a link - no login required. So you could have a button in your client portal or a client-specific page to open their request
Except that devs have to do ETL every day so analysts can do their query work.
I think there's something to this argument. Elon actually realizes this part himself:

when he crashes and burns it will burn 100 billion dollars and the credibility of the whole tech industry

Elon has stated publically that it would be "really bad" (his words) if Tesla fails, because Tesla will then serve as an example of why electric cars will never work, and from that point it will be 10x harder to create an EV startup - to say nothing of the investment crater that's leftover from their death.

However, I don't understand the rest of the comment regarding the "con artists" and how this is at all like Uber.

Good job clearing the lanes before you drove. I'm sure that left an impression on the kids, that you might have wanted to leave on them even if you're behaviour had a risk to it - maybe they'll save up to buy a Tesla or learn about Elon. And the fact that it still felt unsafe shows that you have good judgement.

Ask HN: How does tripadvisor know all my Google accounts?
I clicked a google search result that brought me to tripadvisor and in the top right of the page there was a popup titled "sign in to tripadvisor.com with google" listing all my google accounts (name, email and avatar).

this was not a google iframe, it some just some html inside tripadvisor.com page (I can see my info when I click view source). I never signed up on tripadvisor with any google account, especially not with my work google account (which was also in the list). so how does tripadvisor know all this? after clicking the X on this popup I can no longer reproduce it.
You need to use pfSense now.

>By late January 2014, Rigmaiden and federal prosecutors reached a plea deal: He’d plead guilty and prosecutors would recommend that he be given a sentence of time served. The agreement was signed on April 9, 2014.

Like many cases involving stingrays, the charges were essentially dropped once challenged in court.
I'm conflicted on this issue.

First off, I'm an economic migrant. I also had the privilege of being able to move without a skilled work visa.

I'm all for freedom of movement, I think that borders are an artificial construct that cause more harm than good.

But we need to balance that with the fact that unchecked migration can cause excessive strain on infrastructure, cause cultural clashes, and potentially cause lowered quality of life for residents of the country being emigrated to, caused by residents being priced out of the market by workers willing to work for near-nothing because it's still better than the wages back at home.

New Zealand has suffered a lot of these problems.

Auckland in particular suffering from the strain of high levels of immigration on its infrastructure. There simply isn't enough housing for all the people. You end up with people sharing rooms and packing out apartments like a slum. I've heard of people fitting 4 people to a room using bunk beds. So you've got 12 people in a 3 bedroom apartment. The apartments aren't designed for this kind of population density, and it pushes out people who want a decent quality of life and a room to themselves, as they're priced out by people willing to share 4 to a room.

High immigration with a low barrier has also caused deflation of wages. Some Indian workers come to NZ and work for under minimum wage, either by employers requiring repayment of wages or underpaying wages (which is illegal), or by working for gig-economy services like Uber (which is legal).

For a lot of immigrants, working for $5 an hour and sharing an apartment with 10 other people is still a better quality of life than back home, but it drags down the quality of life for other Kiwis.

I think part of the problem is that it's possible for people to move anywhere in the world within 30 hours. Instead of migrating to a neighbouring country that has a slightly better economy to yours, if the world had total freedom of movement, everyone would flock to the most prosperous nations, causing the middle nations to miss out completely. How many undocumented migrants to Europe want to stay in Italy or Greece? They all want to get to Germany, France, or the UK.

I think that maybe the best solution for the world would be freedom of movement between bordering nations. Most bordering nations will have similar economies, running as a continuum across the globe, and will also have similar cultures (as I said, borders are an artificial construct that cut through ethnic and cultural lines). The USA-Mexico border is an exception here, with a massive economic disparity between the two countries. I think that it's wrong that just because you were born on one side of a line you're condemned to a lower quality of life than your neighbours, earning a fraction of the same income for the same work.

That's the opposite of my experience and understanding as a fresh PhD. In my field, social science, PhD students 100% own their research agenda. We get paid via a combination of grant (i.e. free money) and RA / TA work (i.e. money you work for). The better the program, the more of the money is free. And you always have the option to apply for external grants to fund yourself. In my (very fortunate) case, I rarely work on others' projects for more than 5 hours a week.

My friends in the natural sciences are more tied to the projects of their supervisors. But in the end they are still expected to be a mature researcher with their own agenda.

Caveat: I'm only certain that this is true for top-50 programs.
You only need to copy the stuff that changed since the last time you copied stuff.

If you are really generating 10TB of data more than a few times a day, you can look into putting it in something like Kafka for real-time consumption by the analytics team instead of batch copying.

I mean I guess define globalization because the thing immediately preceding it--colonial mercantilism--was just as global. That rise from poverty coincides with both the death of nominal colonialism and also frankly the rise of Soviet and Maoist communism and the CIA's banana republic crimes in Central and South America. Further "Free Trade" as usually used to characterize Globalisation still doesn't exist in any useful sense even in things like NAFTA which has free trade in the name.
