TL;DW of the original video is

* Electronics, batteries etc. are far ahead of others

* Car drives very well.

* Traditional car parts are total crap. Chassis very heavy without any safety or other reasons.

Munro says in a interview that had Tesla outsourced the manufacture and design of of the car minus the scateboard to a company like Magna they would have hit every target and even Toyota would be crapping their pants now. If the traditional mechanical parts of the car would have been even decent, Tesla would have mopped the floor with everybody.

Tesla has been throwing money away because they didn't outsource and they have been loosing time against competition that comes behind.
Yeah, also I noticed that everything is logged, which is a little creepy too.
I wonder how Gates' charitable givings 8 years ago compare to Bezos' today. I suspect Bezos wouldn't look fantastic by comparison.
Can Anyone with a UAV Call Themselves an Aerial Surveyor? (2016)
A few guesses:

1. People who got into family fights over the weekend

2. People who loved online for a minute and got an upsetting work email and are dreading the coming work week.

3. People who feel isolated or bored and are online instead of enjoying their weekend.

Would be curious to see if this is random noise though it if it's consistent year to year.
Here's a blog article by Carbon Five on dependency injection in Elixir that I quite liked...

https://blog.carbonfive.com/2018/03/19/lightweight-dependenc...

For context, Elixir (which includes Erlang) is a compiled language, but it doesn't/can't catch a lot of compile time type errors that you'd only uncover at runtime. For example, one process can send a message of any type to another process. There just isn't a great way (for the Elixir compiler) to catch that at compile time. It gives you more flexibility, but you can't have confidence that it'll work just because it compiled. Dependency injection with tests is a really helpful tool in Elixir.
It really wasn't, 2 years ago there was one place where they told you which type of accounts to submit made up of 10 pages of single questions.

Except, I knew which type I had to submit and it was telling me the wrong one. I was obviously answering one question wrong. But I couldn't go back and I could see my previous answers, I could only start again.

That's basically a ten page glorified wizard with no back button, which is actually a big UX no-no. Must have gone through the damn thing 5 times before I finally got the right form.
> $150B don't mean anything

That's the silliest thing I ever heard.

Anyone with more than $50K net worth is or ought to be keeping nearly all of it in investments of some sort, what you're calling "virtual money". It's no more virtual than your 401(k) or Schwab account or home. By your logic, nearly the entire American economy "doesn't mean anything."
My guess would be that a larger percentage of respondents are not professionals in the field. The pros are afk.
I agree. In terms of market dominance, Google is a far bigger monopoly. It dominates search, ads, and internet overall.
Must be a more recent thing, then. Our 2011 has 15A and that's it. Do you know if it actually charges at a faster rate on 40A, or is it just a "cheater" to use in a pinch? Because I'd be tempted to seek out a more recent charger if it would actually charge faster.
You're being silly. I doubt your doctor would laugh you of the office for requesting an HSV test. Now a days HSV testing combines type 1 & 2 into a single test, so if you ever go in for STD testing you would get tested for both. You don't have to have symptoms to go in for STD testing. You keep everyone safer by being tested regularly despite the lack of symptoms. It's not usual not to have HSV at that age, I'm 30 years old without HSV, and my father who was in his 70s when he died had never contracted the virus either.
Huh? "To:mmt" would be a local filter (or a localized signal in the filter - implementation detail). At least, hopefully nobody else is receiving email addressed to you.

If you start marking someone's emails as spam and their emails start automatically landing in your spambox but not everyone else's, then obviously they do have localized filtering. They almost certainly do because some people actually like to receive "newsletters" and junk mail to clip the coupons or whatever.
> I have a 4km (!) commute so range is not an issue.

You could just get a long extension cord ;)
well, it's under the umbrella of IOHK, they particularly emphasize security, take a slow, deliberate and conservative approach to how they do things, in addition to this: https://callisto.network/

i don't find it all that surprising.

i also don't see ETH and ETC as being in competition.
and i hold both as well. :)

i can see a scenario where some applications are housed by ETC and others by ETH. sky rocketing gas prices and transaction fees kinda defeat the purpose i'd say (for anybody other than speculators and miners), and given the network load sometimes, that would make a lot of sense until some working scalability solutions are in place.
Wow. Since Amazon's IPO in 1997 (21 years ago), that's like earning $227/sec, $13k/min, $817k/hr, $19m/day, 7.2b/year, and, 150b/21 years. To put it differently, you could either hire jeff bezos for a year, or 60k "highly" paid software engineers. He's richer than God. (yes I know these comparisons are useless since it's based on valuation based on a single point in time, but it does give it more perspective)
The value of not worrying about buying/selling/maintaining a car is different to different people but I’m definitely ready to pay $100-200/mo for that convenience.

Next up is parking. If some car sharing service also includes parking near me, and that would otherwise be $200/mo then it’s suddenly very interesting.
>Good writers, comedians or directors know when to quit at the top their carreer.

Actually, no. I know this is getting away from the main point of the discussion a bit. But Adam Savage gave a good explanation as to why most paid people quit at the height of their career [1]. The idea is that once people pass their prime, the work they produce is worth less. So the only way such careers could continue would be for producers to overpay for a product, or for the actors to continue working just as hard for less money.

Sacramento was in fact dysfunctional until the Democrats won a supermajority. Every year was brinksmanship with the budget. They have since lost that supermajority; the CA Assembly is one seat short of a supermajority. Nevertheless, Republicans have been relatively well behaved knowing they have been punished and can be punished again by the electorate.
Both are customers though. As long as there is paying tier on the end user side, it is also a customer who has a presence in the decision that are made.

To Google’s credit, Youtube Red for instance goes in that direction. Same for Google Suite customers, Google Play users etc.

Of course the power balance is tipped toward the companies who are willing to pay more, but that’s a balance, and not a one sided relation.

For facebook I think the picture is darker, but then that’s facebook afterall.

He wouldn't be able to do it because houses dont materialize with the creation or burning of money.
I'm skeptical that this will be effective.

There are obvious cases of food being unsafe for consumption (ie. A food truck got 150+ people sick at a fair https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/contaminated-cronut-b...). In these cases, your website is kinda useless; everybody knows if a restaurant serves bad food, it will make the news.

But one time I got sick after eating out at a restaurant. My colleagues eat there all the time and have never gotten sick. But one day I did, much to the surprise of my coworkers who joined me for lunch and were completely fine. Was it the food? Did I wash my hands? Maybe I touched a door handle and put my hand in my mouth after. Maybe it was something at my desk when I got back to work? Maybe it was something in my breakfast?

I think you're just giving a soapbox to people who have no ability to determine whether or not their illness was food poisoning. And better yet, what's the purpose of just putting these claims out there for everyone to see? It makes much more sense for me to spend my time with the local health regulator, explaining my concerns to them, rather than complaining openly. Perhaps your service would be better if it was billed as a way to contact food regulators rather than a yelp-but-food-saftey.

Rain.
Wind.
Snow.
Freezing temperatures.
Hot & humid temperatures.
Bad neighborhoods.
Heavy briefcase.

All sorts of reasons.

Several years ago in Houston, we (there were several of us) drove across the street to have lunch most days. Over the course of a year, I never walked the route. Line of sight was maybe 500 yards, but a busy freeway was between the restaurant and our office. While you might think I'm crazy, I don't recall ever seeing any other business-dressed people walk under that freeway. you would be soaking wet from the heat & humidity by the time you got to lunch.
I think pretty much any argument that invokes terms like hate speech or Nazi is going to be controversial. The fact that people so casually compare others to Hitler and then believe it's not controversial or unacceptable to do so is if anything, part of the problem sentiment analysis is trying to address.

The 4channers had a clearly stated goal but it wasn't to spread racism: it was to reveal the hypocrisy of people who claimed they aren't racist but actually are (as in, they harbour hatred towards people of a specific race). It appears to have been very successful at doing that. After all, you can't really know what the intentions of the people posting the signs were. Are they really seething with hatred of Jews? Or do they just realise that a bunch of people will flip out and make themselves look racist, thus enjoying a masterful troll? Ultimately all you can do is judge what the words mean and the sentiment of those words: to do otherwise is ad-hominem. In this case the sentiment is clearly positive: saying it's OK to be <X> can never be negative, and assuming it's "wrongthink" requires an enormous number of assumptions about intention that aren't supported by the text itself (and ad-hominem isn't possible because you don't actually know who said it).

Even if someone disagrees with the above, and believes it's too obvious for words that anyone who says "It's OK to be white" is in fact Hitler re-incarnate, it's just terrible tactics to actually act on that assumption. To any neutral observer it looks exactly like racial hatred: tearing down the signs is literally a statement that it's not OK to be white!

Obviously if you're going to try and teach a computer to take positive statements and mark them as "polite Nazi" (as if such a concept isn't a contradiction to begin with), you're very likely to fail. Sentiment analysis based on surface level words is likely to be as far as computers go for the forseeable future, and why should it be otherwise?
Exactly. This is the price we pay to access the modern web.
I hope you realize there is a built in sentiment analyzer on HN, based on highly advanced, natural intelligence algorithms.

Your filter actually seems to dig strongly opinionated posts. They are not automatically bad, and they can be quite good.
Do you know details about the implementation? Did they try to customize everything?

> I launched Iwaspoisoned.com after experiencing a brutal bout of food poisoning from a deli in my hometown of Tribeca, NY. Out of concern for other consumers I called the deli to try and explain what happened and they hung up the phone.

Wow, sorry this happened to you. When I was at university, they served Thai food with nuts and didn't have a "Contains nuts" sign even though it's protocol to have one. I ended up puffing up and the manager took absolutely no responsibility and said "tough luck", I don't think he even cared whether or not I was sick. I had to run back to my dorm room and ruffle through my roommate's medicine to find some Benadryl -- overall one of the worst experiences I've ever had.

Crowdsourcing is very tough because of quality control, but this seems possible and I really hope this works out for you guys. Best of luck!
Agreed. The text of the report is only a small part of it. We are looking at a range of other things on the back end. Also a scenario like that is a red flag to us, and it triggers further due diligence. It'will also trigger public health, who will then require people to pick up the phone, it will require a 72 hour food history so on, physical site investigation. It does not work like 50 reports come in, and an outbreak is immediately declared - far from it. That is just the start of further work. Not to say someday the system won't be gamed, but we are doing a lot of hard work to ensure it does not happen.
It's a free demo with unlimited access to the web. I'm just covering my back for any possible misuse. If there's demand you can pay to turn off logging.

My advice is to forget the website building aspect and turn it into plugins for Wordpress and the popular website builders.
A website builder is not a good pick for a side project if your intent is to generate passive income. You have to be on call 24/7 to deal with server issues (and they will happen). Starting with plugins is great for side projects because they are easier to maintain and it will allow you to gauge if there is really a demand for keeping a website in sync with Facebook.

For some, "not supporting the modern web" is a feature.

In electing to engage with it, we are substituting our mistrust of .JS and .CSS files out on the web with whatever engine you use to chew those up and re-render the output as text-mode approximations.

It's fewer people to trust, to be certain, but the trust-by-default model has long been broken. Trust is earned, and easily lost.

So absolutely yes, because it is new.
Sorry to hear it, yes there is a lot that can go wrong. Thanks for the support : )
I grew up in Northern California.

The original movements to split the state came from the water wars in the early and mid 20th century. In the early 20th century the Los Angeles water district took water from Owens Valley under suspicious circumstances. The movie China Town came from this era. In the mid 20th century the movement to split the state was revived when Gov Edmond G Brown and Gov Ronald Reagan (Democrat and Republican) put in the Calif Aqueduct to take water from Northern California to Southern California. Back then water was a tangible reason to split the state.

The current bill doesn't seem to have the same compelling argument. Nobody has articulated a reason to split the state outside of possible gerrymandering. Have we really sunk this low?

Compiling is at least a legitimate excuse though, if you don't have a build server or something. If you can't get any work done when GitHub is down, that is a red flag that your process is horribly broken.
I was like "wait, that doesn't sound right". Nope. Nope it's right, it would average out to $226.49 a second if an even 21 years heh.
This, to me, seems incredible stuff. Can someone with some knowledge of the field point out if this is really ground-breaking?
I also hate the term anticancer which gets tossed around a lot. Everything that is toxic to human cells is anticancer which is what chemotherapy does. If we found a substance that wasn't toxic to normal cells and killed cancer cells, we'd have a safe cure for cancer.
I'm just curious b/c I use Instapaper but am surprised that it's risen through the ranks here.

Interesting idea for a measurement! That amount of money can certainly buy an army, but doesn’t account for equipment, logistics etc.
Comparing it directly to military expenditure by states is interesting [1,2]:

If spent over a single year it would be 3rd highest expenditure (second is China with 150-228 billion)

Could fund a military the same as France or Britain for 3 years

Equals the combined spend of Britain France and Germany over 1 year.

Could fund Greek or Swiss army for 30 years

Or Venezuela for 144 years

For some reason there is a .nobreak class that's actually enabling word breaks. Weird! And it even goes one step further and enables "word-break: break-all", so that the renderer will break all your nice words apart anywhere. That's not nice.

Erm... Spain and Greece has been in enforced austerity, no other countries I can think of. And neither have had typical, responsible borrowing patterns. (Nor does Italy, but it’s dodged that bullet.)

(Ireland had some problems just after the crunch but a) entirely because they took on a bank they could have let fail and b) they’ve paid that off now.)
It wasn't "one bad man", but it was a product of history. It's not a fucking coincidence that the Gulag system strongly resembled the Tsar's Siberian prison camps. There are pretty obvious reasons for what happened that have nothing to do with "the underlying ethical system", which you still can't elaborate on in a philosophically coherent way.

Also the USSR had waged labor, commodity production, bosses, and prison camps so it fails to meet several (basically all?) criteria of socialism that many people would claim except for Marxist Leninists (and even Maoists have a lot of disagreement about this).

You're fixated on this goofy "ethical system" explanation, but whenever you're challenged with history or to account for the violence inherent in capitalist systems you balk.
This is an interesting tool. I can probably name a few that are probably already on your platform. I imagine chick-fil-a & dominoes are already on that list, they are IMO always one step ahead in technology over their competitors.

One of the fastest ways for a restaurant to die off is social media and foodborne illnesses. Only big corporate clients, naming those in the 300+ chain stores would be looking into this technology. My question to you is - do you intend to eventually work down to growing chains and smaller independent restaurants as wel?

While these smaller chains do not have as much money, we are seeing an overall trend towards SaaS solutions in this market. Things like yelp, google, etc are already being heavily used. Do you intend to penetrate this larger but lower revenue market? If so, how would the offering be different at all, in terms of pricing? It seems like right now you are using a quote by quote basis which 100% makes sense.

Regulation. How can I, as a normal end user, trust your reports though? I see you mentioned how you are validating this information, but how can I really trust it? Also, do you intend to notify users based on a specific mile radius of their home/work address (e.g. 25 or 50 miles out). I wouldn't want to get spammed with places I don't go eat out a lot

Do you intend to do any partnerships with Tripadvisor, and or yelp, or google(for reviews) to subadvertise in the same medium? Because that is generally what most people look up when eating at a restaurant if they are picky about what they eat.

Next, what's stopping your company from pulling a yelp? E.g. predatory business 2 business practices, by hiding negative reviews etc. How do you intend to combat this, if at all, or big corporations trying to buy off bad social media if this scales upward?

In addition - do you at any point intend to remove outbreak data past a certain point? E.g. an outbreak 10 years ago at a restaurant might not be relevant today - they might have changed ownership, etc. How do you intend on combating this?

I wonder as well, if you intend on targeting smaller clients eventually (restaurants) would you also be targeting foodtrucks too & or caterers?

What big data analytics did your model use to "predict" chipotle's outbreak? I am curious about case studies.

Did you also at advertise yourself at the chicago NRA show as well. If so, what was the general reception of both small, mid, and potential big clients

With Penney's in particular, you can pretty much just always assume a sale is going on. I go about twice a year, and in the past ~6 years, there's only been one day where the stuff I was buying (dress shirts and slacks, mainly) weren't at least "50% off". If you get unlucky and show up on the one day of the season where stuff is (I think this is how it works) legally required to be at regular price so they can mark it down, just come back the next weekend.
Exactly. This is one topic where everyone is on the same page, people don't want to get sick, restaurants don't want to make them sick. We are helping restaurants to do better on their most important core objective.
Wait what? Makes up for it why? It's not like you couldn't virtualised servers elsewhere.

Bezos will surpass that several times over in the next few years. He's added tremendous economic value which is why so many of us pay him for his many products and services.
>he very evidently values a dollar bill with his signature as more than $1.

Wait, is it not objectively true that the autograph of a famous person tends to add value to the things they sign?

Ebay has a category for Musk-autographed stuff. People post stuff in that category, and sometimes it sells. Are you saying stuff advertised as having been signed by him would be worth more without the signature? :-)
