I would totally download an app that listed people in my area beneath my stated weight threshold who wanted piggyback rides.

However, it should prevent you from changing your weight threshold more than once every 2 days. Otherwise, you'd be able to binary-search to find random people's weights.
It’s also possible that hard work is not necessary for or predictive of success. There are tons of people who are hard working but unlucky, who are not successful. There are also plenty of people who are not hard working but at one point got their lucky break and are successful.

Hard working or not, it’s hard to find an example billionaire who, if you look back far enough, didn’t have some lucky event that enabled that success.

But that's a racist and sexist statement.

You are fundamentally seeing people as 'White' or 'Men' instead of as they are, people.
A persons ability to be racist or the victim of racism is solely dependent on if they are committing racist acts or having racist acts committed against them. Their race has nothing to do with it.

It’s a cool idea, and admittedly would be a sort of loophole, but it might just mean that such a drive would require an arbitrarily high amount to work. Maybe Stephen Hawking was right and as soon as you build a machine capable of time travel, turning it on blows it up, because of QM effects. It does seem a little neat if how we intend to use the machine is the deciding factor in how it works.

Well, the A8 was vulnerable despite being in order but it was a mediocre design with an unusually long pipeline for a core of its class. Of course even in order core speculate a little based on predicting branches and their pipeline lengths but there's a very limited window for things to go wrong without going OoO and almost all in order cores can't execute enough dependent instructions to leak data without realizing they took the wrong branch.

Snapchat code reveals team-up with Amazon for ‘Camera Search’
I've seen a few of these services recently, and my biggest issue is that they don't offer the protection that an online service does.

If there's harrasment, 9:22 can't block that person from calling you, because you've given up your phone number. And ghosting an online account is way easier than ghosting a cell number, as that is suuuper inconvenient. If you want that protection it's on you to setup a killable phone number which is non-trivial.

I think I understand what you're saying but it seems like a distinction without a difference. "Real" investors get stock. Employees get "equity" (in some form of stock).

It seems like a fiction that benefits "real" investors at the expense of employees "investment". As long as VCs can maintain this fiction they can exploit the other stockholders. Sort of like "Well, you're just a woman, you're not a "real" fill-in-the-blank. We shouldn't have to pay you like one."

> and a year later

I'm not sure I see where this "year later" is derived from in the article.

This is what the relevant section of the article says as I read it now:

After 4 months of failed pitches (in a process we organized poorly) the only option we had left was to cut expenses and break
even (here is how to organize a good process). We let a lot of good people go and doubled down on generating the advertising
dollars we needed to stay alive. Within 2 months we went from burning $250k a month to making $100k a month and we ended the
year at $8m in revenue and $1m in profit (Suhail, co-founder of Mixpanel, describes that tactic in a great tweet). We even
took all of our employees to Hawaii to celebrate

Starting at some point in time, they spent 4 months failing then 2 months in correction, then ended the year profitable and celebrated.

If t0 was in late June, the delta between the 6-month ordeal and the celebration would have been zero. If t0 was in early January, it would've been six months. (Plus/minus a month depending on calendar/fiscal year.)
Just because we did something in the past doesn't mean we need to continue doing it now. There's no reason for adult humans to continue consuming another species' breast milk and ingest all the saturated fats and hormones that come along with it to damage our health.

Well, yeah, but my point is basically that work is being pushed up the stack, hence all the energy going into UI development. The biggest challenge for backend devs is usually API Design.
I think you can find a medium: designing a city around the idea of “seeding” organic growth, defining the broad spaces to be filled in by organic development, and then responding to that development to shape the city’s growth constructively. Basically, more gardening than city planning.
In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.

“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky.

“I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied.

“Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky.

“I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.

Minsky then shut his eyes.

“Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.

“So that the room will be empty.”

At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

> the risks involved with heating plastics ... (they release different compounds when heated, both potentially problematic)

The article makes this claim:

> Studies reveal that even heating plastics such as PP, PE and PS releases moderate to highly toxic emissions – carbon monoxide, acrolein, formic acid, acetone, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, toluene and ethylbenzene.

Citing this[1] paper. But the paper only shows toxic emissions from recycling plants operating at 200-300 degrees Celsius, not at 165 degrees Celsius (ie the peak temperature of asphalt).

> I can't even explain how foreign it is to think that people raise and exhaust millions of dollars without finding product market fit.

I agree. It feels strange. Whatever people say, it was pretty uncommon for most of the time in human history that some people with a vague idea were given some million dollars to build something. Most people had to argue a lot to get this kind of money.

I think it's because money is cheap. Book money can be easily printed by banks and our currency is worth nothing and investors know that. If the price correction happens, the system could blow off and leave many people in poverty because all their wealth was based on debt. Investors are smart enough that they know that all those dollar bills are worth nothing and that the only currency for startups is attention and massive usage (talking about B2C here).

> We stole it from Swift.

Stole is probably too harsh a statement given the semantics are pretty different: Swift's if-let has closer semantics to TFA's as it only works with Optional but allows multiple patterns (bindings in TFA's version) while Rust's works with any pattern but only allows a single pattern (AFAIK).
Your comment does not address the contents of the proposed legislative changes, at all -- as such it is a sad example of resorting to the fallacy of ad hominem.
> You've still refused to acknowledge that my very first post talked about where I think the promise is coming from.

So I went back and re-read your first post:

> How could we make different choices? These choices are rarely made by developers unless it's their own startup.

That sounds very negative to me.

> For most IT jobs these kinds of decisions are made by upper management who have to answer to a board of directors, and ultimately to shareholders.

Ditto.

> No one ever got fired for using Java.

Ditto.

> Upper IT management can't just say "we're switching to Haskell because fewer bugs". They have to sell the idea to the folks who will pay for those massive changes which include retraining existing employees. And management does take into consideration how big the hiring pool is. That affects costs. A surge in demand for Haskell programmers would of course create a higher cost for hiring and keeping them.

Ditto ditto ditto.

> So they continue to hire Java programmers and students graduating from uni make sure they know Java.

Ditto.

> Where is the opportunity for us to make different choices? Should students refuse jobs in Java? Or without picking on a language, jobs at companies that have the highest software quality standards? That's a lot of idealism and responsibility to ask of someone whose is just hoping they can get a foot in the door and start their career.

Ditto.

> Or is there someone else you have in mind that could be making different choices? It does seem like my own personal choice to give up on Java has had zero effect on its popularity.

Ditto.

> There is far more at play than the "the belief that this is futile is a self-fulfilling prophecy" although I agree that too is a factor.

Mostly ditto.

And then, after wading through that sea of negativity, we finally get to this:

> I do have hope though.

Very well, I acknowledge that in your first post you talk about where you think the promise is coming from. But do you see how someone might come away with the impression that you were not entirely optimistic about it?
Wasn't that true, in general, for cloud and VPS providers?

2 years is a Moore's Law doubling, which I've found tends to mean hardware offerings will be different. They're not necessarily dramatically different, if there's no new/unmet market demand, but this was a noteworthy enough one that I was (and still am) touting it as an advantage of own-hardware over cloud infrastructure.

This might be the case for where you live, but I've see dozens of Lime bikes recently around the Boston area (not in Boston proper, but in Cambridge, Somerville, Chelsea, Everett, etc.) that are just on sidewalks. The main problem is that there aren't really a ton of bike racks around. Usually when I bike somewhere, even in Boston proper, I have to search for a bit to find a bike rack. I imagine it's similar for other cities that don't really have the existing bike rack infrastructure.
It's a weird thing to me too. I've worked with developers that have hundreds of tabs open (not using 99% of them), and they whinge and moan about performance.

Just stop opening so many tabs?
One thing that wasn't touched here is that you can actually map the developer tools to your local files. My old co-worker used Dev tools as his text editor. Pretty nifty!

> At a big corporation, like Intel, we cannot really talk about just one culture. I would say that your experience can vary quite a lot based on the team you’re in and to a certain degree the org you’re in.

Slightly. Ultimately, the high-level culture is set by the execs.

> Various people assign the ‘toxic’ label to various things. What may be ‘meh’ for one person could be ‘toxic’ to another.

No, definitions are important. The word "toxic culture" has a very clear meaning; and the article does not use it correctly.

Specifically, toxic culture means an environment that leads to high stress and poor mental health. That's not what the article discussed, and it's completely appropriate to criticize. A "toxic culture" is a very serious accusation, so incorrectly using the term isn't something that falls under the "I say toe-may-toe, you say toe-mah-toe" attitude.

You must not live in San Francisco, where I saw multiple scooters every day parked in the middle of sidewalks or otherwise in the way of pedestrians. Until the city temporarily banned them.

These scooters need docking stations and the users parking them illegally need to be handed hefty fines, just as a motorist would be fined for parking their car illegally.

You let customers pay 10% of the purchase price each year. For that, they get new releases as they become available (both bug fixes and new features). Those who don't pay get the version they were sold (with new releases and bug fixes for the first year).
Yes, but they are still shipping AOSP and still selling Pixel phones with unlockable bootloaders.

Clearly, Google wants to be able to support companies which want to sell locked-down phones.

But as long as they sell their own phones with unlockable bootloaders, you can vote with your wallet and buy those phones.

I am concerned about the reduction in use of the GPL, but what I care about is being able to run and modify the software on my phone, and as long as Google is still releasing AOSP (and the Fuchsia open source project), and selling phones that are unlocked, I'm happy enough with that.

Yes, they might change their policy in the future. But for now there's no indication that they intend to do that; they've always been good at selling their own phones and Pixelbooks with unlockable bootloaders that does allow you to replace the ROM if you want.
“Human fingerprint” on California's blistering heat wave
I don't know about Oakland, but in Boston these wouldn't be legal to ride on the sidewalk. Hell, they're barely legal to ride in the bike lane (only motorized vehicles that can't exceed 35 mph and that make a motor smaller than a certain size). Combine that with the fact that most riders won't be wearing helmets and it's a potentially deadly accident waiting to happen.
That $1400/month number strikes me as dubious. They mention the charger earns $30-50/day. Assuming a standard 22-day work month, $1400 would have to be $63/day. A more realistic number seems to be $40 * 22 days, or $880/month. Which is not a lot of money in the expensive cities Lime is active in.

> Add to that the heating of plastic to a tight upper bound lest it releases toxic fumes.

165 degrees Celsius is the maximum temperature for asphalt itself[1][2], so conventional spreading equipment is designed not to exceed that. The plastic is melted by the hot asphalt, not separately.

[1] https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/construction/reviews/revhma01.pdf

[2] "Hot mixed asphalt is manufactured at temperatures between 270°F and 325°F." (that's 132-163 degrees Celsius) https://www.forconstructionpros.com/asphalt/article/10297263...

And I'm beginning to have doubts that laughing at other people and making fun of them has any useful purpose in the greater political discourse.

Colbert in particular is incredibly caustic, and almost exclusively caters towards making fun of the other side and "how stupid / hypocritical they are". As far as I'm concerned, this kind of trolling and sarcasm is part of the problem. And while Colbert himself is relatively tame, the twitter / internet goons who worship him are just as bad as Musk's online Twitter goons and trolls.

But this is getting quite far away from Mr. Musk and the point of the article. Bringing it all together: the general problem in today's discourse are the hero-worshiping trolls who take a personality (be it Trump, Colbert, or Musk), and take their fight to the internet to harass others.

And btw, Mr. Colbert was one of the first users of this methodology.

http://www.cc.com/video-clips/z1aahs/the-colbert-report-the-...

This was Colbert in 2006, so 12-years can change a person. I don't see Colbert really unleashing the troll armies upon anyone else anymore. But it is good to remember that Colbert was one of the first to launch a "media invasion" on the online space.

In a very similar manner to what Mr. Musk is doing in the article.

Corner cases, the bane of simplicity everywhere.
As you approach the speed of light, the amount of time you experience gets slower as compared to a stationary observer. This means that a photon, which travels at the speed of light, actually experiences no time at all.

I like to think of time and space as two different directions you can go i.e. forward/backward (time) or left/right (space). A stationary observer travels only forward, i.e. through time. So they experience lots of time but very little or no space. As you get closer and closer to the speed of light you're moving less in time and more in space. Your vector gets closer and closer to pointing right (using this analogy). An observer traveling at light speed experiences only space, i.e. no time at all.

Then, once you exceed the speed of light your arrow starts pointing a little bit backwards. You're still traveling mostly in space, very little in time but now the time you do travel in is actually negative.

I forget where I read this vector explanation but it's one that makes the concept tractable in my mind :)
If you're feeling conservative, find another well paying job in your preferred area. Use your windfall however you deem appropriate (like saving/investing it to cover kids/retirement/emergency fund). If you're feeling aggressive, launch into another startup. If you're feeling somewhere in the middle, save some, invest some, seed some startups, and find another interesting job.

$1.1m is simultaneously not that much and more than you think, it depends a lot on your chosen perspective.
Why does this imply time travel?
You could look backwards in time, sure, but we can already do that.
I'm struggling to read your comment without the inference "culture and values " == mass surveillance.

Why do we have to accept that American devices are rooted at all? To me, "American values" means that US citens' communication isn't tapped without a warrant obtained with probable cause of a crime.

Instead it sounds like I'm supposed to choose between a surveillance state.
