I can't speak for pseudocook but the fact that they replaced the dash with a tablet really puts me off of the 3. Not only is it ugly (IMO), its less functional.
They're slowly making appearances in public parking lots, train stations, etc, even curbside spots in some cities.

But yeah, nowhere near the number needed for the electric car revolution (tm).

Although I've noticed most of said chargers are usually empty, so I suppose it's a chicken and egg problem.
Also in the same boat here. I've enjoyed the SMS searching, typing out SMS texts via actual computer keyboard, location flexibility of GV, and being able to make calls from the same number without needing the cell glued to my head.

I've heard of apps like Grasshopper and have most features I'm looking for at a steep cost for personal use ($30/month minimum) plus the cell phone plan already being paid for. If I'm going to invest in a migration of my main communications platform, I'd rather have the majority of the features self-hosted and rely on the external provider like Twilio for the PSTN/SMS/MMS integration.
Lots? Woudn't it fundamentally be a DLC strategy?
Yes, sorry, it's the Tesla version. I was trying to be more clear, not less clear. I have owned an actual M3 and I hate people calling Mazdas and Teslas "M3"s. I was tossing around the idea of making "T3" a thing, though, as I don't think it'll confuse others in the car world.

What definition of "superset" are you using?
Keep in mind that in 1776 when the Continental Congress declared independence, Britain was the largest economy in the world. America's declaration of independence lists out all the abuse of power and lack of freedom people endured under British rule. Despite all that, Britain had become the wealthiest country in human history at the time, commanding the most cutting-edge technology (the USA copied steam engines from the British) and having the most extensive system of trade to have ever existed up to then.

Sure, a measure of freedom is necessary to allow an economy to grow, but not nearly as much freedom as people enjoy in the USA. China is a case-in-point: their economy has rapidly expanded as the communist party has started to understand how far a bit of economic freedom goes. For all the freedoms people have in Japan, China managed to unseat Japan as the world's second-largest economy, and is on track to become the world's largest economy within our lifetimes.

China is not the USSR. China has embraced certain capitalist approaches -- like capital markets. The Chinese have figured out what the USSR never fully grasped: economic freedom is not the same thing as political freedom. The USSR tried to micromanage every aspect of the economy, but the Chinese have figured out that it is good enough to have a party member seated on the board of directors.
Profane?

1.
relating or devoted to that which is not sacred or biblical; secular rather than religious.

2.
(of a person or their behavior) not respectful of orthodox religious practice; irreverent.

3. treat (something sacred) with irreverence or disrespect.

That all said, I wouldn't go as far as to say profound. Just insightful commentary distilled from experience.
This is not about what the Chinese or any other government is doing. It is about the decisions of Google and certain employees of Google.

Deciding to not join with others in the national defense is a very divisive and political decision.

Deciding to aid totalitarian governments with censorship and other activities is likewise divisive and political.

Deciding to back one major political party, but not the other - similarly divisive and political.

If they didn't want the criticism, they would just take the bucks and do the business for whoever is paying. They are at least giving the appearance of making these decisions on ideological grounds. This moves them more into the arena of being an political organization. In which case, saying you're just doing business is pretty lame.

We're not going to get very far letting machines guess what we want by making models we can't interpret.

Explainability is important, and critical in applications where lives are on the line.

Explainability where we're guessing what's happening in a black box model won't do either. Nothing but complete transparency of the model and why it's doing what it's doing. Its source code, that makes sense to humans, is needed. Full on model audit. No guessing.

I can think of only one company that's attempting to do this, and it's not anyone you hear working on explainability, including DARPA.
Here is a good example of what MBA's can do.

First, go to Disneyland and look at the ticket prices. They're really high, right? On a per-day basis?

So next you price out the season passes. You do the math and you find that if you are going 6 or 7 days in a year or less, you are better off without the season pass. If you are going 8 or more days ( for instance ), the season pass makes more sense.

So you do the math and think about it some more. 7 or 8 days sounds reasonable, my family will enjoy it, right?

The next thing you know, you are happily shelling out $1000 per family member, thinking of all the happy times you will have and all the money you are going to save.

Gov't: "We established the medallion system to stabilize the cost of transportation and ensure that drivers would be able to make a living wage."

The companies who tanked the value of medallions by ignoring the law and are now facing regulation similar to the medallion system: "What if we bought current medallion holders out of their medallions in exchange for you looking the other way and letting us not pay drivers a living wage."

They're not literally bribing the politicans but they're effectively putting up cash to make it easier for them to vote against the public interest.

You're completely ignoring that them doing their job often means promising features that do not exist on a timetable that is nowhere near reasonable, thus forcing me to bail their ass out by working ungodly amounts of overtime, punishing me for no good reason.

Brex (brex.com) | San Francisco, CA | On-site only | Full-time | Visa

What we bring:

- An environment where it matters to make the right design decisions the first time. "Move fast and break things" doesn't really work for the type of system that we build. We take less technical debt than other companies.

- At Brex, engineers make the product decisions with input from business people, instead of business / product people making decisions with input from engineers

- We'd rather have one strong, well-compensated engineer instead of having 5 mediocre engineers. Our customers are fine with fewer features, but are not ok with broken features.

- Small, accountable and autonomous teams of amazing people, eager to learn, teach and constantly improve our way of working.

- We believe that great individual contributors generate as much (or more!) value as engineering managers, and we compensate them accordingly.

What you'll bring:

- Exceptional technical background.

- Strong sense of ownership and accountability for what you're building. What you build today will be the foundation for dozens of other systems in the future.

- Frankness on discussing technical matters. If you disagree with how things are being done, we encourage you to speak up. You can attack an idea without attacking the person behind it.

- Passion for code. We love people that take pride in and love programming, especially if they've done so since a very young age.

- Experience in Haskell, Scala, Functional Programming, Elixir or F# is a plus

Does Brex sound like home? We'd love to meet you: https://jobs.lever.co/brex/befd063b-976e-4bb1-835f-e4564dee4...

That goes a little too deep into conspiracy theory territory. There are much easier ways for all of those things than making a heist, but even more importantly, more direct ways to send those messages.
These are long overdue reforms. The states east of the mississippi did not have the lionshare of their land retained by the federal government when they became states. West of the river is a different story. With the federal government owning 2/3rds of the land in the west, things are way out of whack.
You have to understand that statement in context of Apple promoting content blocking within Safari. So claiming adblockign functionality in iOS is expected and non-problematic.

The difference is that AdGuard works like a watered down little snitcher — letting you control specific network connections that your phone makes. And the filtering works within and without Safari.

I use it for monitoring the servers that various apps reach out to. Unlike Charles Proxy AdGuard does not allow any insight into contents.

It’s sad how far backward things have gone that we aren’t allowed even that modicum of control of a device we purportedly own. (Absent use of homemade VPN proxy or pi hole.)

This about face for Apple is the first time I’ve seriously considered going to back to Android. Google’s walled garden is much more porous, but it’s really a fool’s errand to look for a smartphone that treats its user with any respect.

My assumption with the diabetic strips is that well insured people can get large quantities from their doctors at the expense of the insurance provider and then sell them for a profit for cash. Alternatively, people in the medical supply supply chain likely have good sources for large amounts of test strips they could offload at a profit.

This is purely my guess having seen the same signs and wondered the same things.

Or, hear me out, let's have ride sharing companies continue to solve those problems while abiding by some, at least I think, basic regulations to make sure drivers aren't stuck in poverty. I do think it's silly to cap the number of drivers when a wage floor is a more direct way to achieve the gov't's goal.

This isn't an all or nothing thing.

I really like their Edge devices, particularly the ability to enforce a distributed firewall. However, it really isn't clear to me how their crypto works. They use PK to do something, and traffic is encrypted with a symmetric cipher. How are nodes authenticated to join? It isn't clear from their description. They don't do PFS, it seems like there is no key rollover at all? Maybe I'm just obtuse, but I don't think they have explained it very well.
Tesla’s ‘coast-to-coast’ drive on hold while Autopilot team focuses on safety

Résumé/CV: https://bloomca.me/resume.pdf
Email: seva.zaikov@gmail.com

Hi, I'm Seva and I'll move to Oregon in November, and want to find a remote (only) work. It is quite a time before it (probably I won't start to work before December), but I would like to start looking from now. My main skills are in JavaScript (mostly frontend, but I am mostly looking for fullstack/backend Node.js positions), though I am open to work in other languages – I did basic projects using Python, Go, Clojure, Ruby, so can pick them up as well.

I freelanced for about half an year, and in my more regular work we have WFH days, so I have some experience working remotely.
I am looking for a small company where I can significantly contribute to the end result.

My most successfull project is probably my blog – https://blog.bloomca.me. I was on the front page of HN couple times, featured in JavaScript weekly and Nodeweekly, and in total have more than 130k views.
There really is a way to balance these two things: you don't censor outright, but you just don't rank it highly. So it's not easy to find, but the moment someone searches about something, or spends more and more time narrowing down results in search of something that matches a piece of data - if they really want to find data pertaining to their query - then in the index they can.

It might result in a resources problem (or storage and computing power), but theoretically it could even exhaustively apply to spam. Even spam would be indexed in a radical free speech database, but with good algorithms it'll just take longer to find because a very small (almost zero) people in the world algorithmically denote it as content of worth.
Very few people write assembler code today, because compilers are good enough most of the time.
The same can happen if we get generic and robust enough ML tool.

> It's also noteworthy that amendments to subject drivers working for corporate medallion owners to a minimum wage were struck down.

Of course it was, because it's a law bought and paid for by the big taxi corporations.

It's not for the benefit of the drivers, or NYC residents. It's for the sole benefit of these corporations, who "donated" millions of dollars to the mayor and other politicians enacting this law.

The wage issue is a bigger problem. If Uber and Lyft control the taxi industry in NYC, and it's impossible for their drivers to earn minimum wage, that's something the government needs to fix.
