> .. you'll have isolated the most ambitious people ... forged a solid and mutually-respectful working relationship with them

You'll have found people who are willing to play petty games instead of having frank conversations about expectations. Those sorts of things are anything but mutually-respectful and encourage future childish behavior. There is nothing wrong with explaining "The meeting starts at noon. I expect everyone attending to be there at noon, and the meeting will be canceled if you're not there on time", there is a problem with expecting people to read your mind when their default mode of operation is to act differently than you expect.
Today is Tuesday. That's not exactly "instant."

Besides, the court cases exist in isolation of Tesla's opinion about them. It's more a courtesy to give them time to respond than an actual requirement. Tesla's position on these cases might be interesting, but it's not required to understand them.

"Both sides" is the journalistically lazy approach, by the way. It's actually pretty rare that you get an "unbiased" view of the situation by simply quoting both sides, as we've seen in lots of other tech and science journalism.

It's interesting to me that you're more outraged about the lack of a documented timeline of callbacks to Tesla than the consistent allegations of abusive environments within Tesla. This is not the first time we've heard about this.
> It's a rigid term

Ah, neat! I learned something. :)

You’re mistaken about only numbers and simple structs being stack allocated. All structs are stack allocated unless they escape, regardless of their contents. Further, arrays and constant-sized slices may also be stack allocated. I’m also pretty sure interfaces are only heap allocated if they escape; in other words, if you put a value in an interface and it doesn’t escape, there shouldn’t be an allocation at all.

It took me some time to figure out what they mean with "SICP". The author assumes that of course everybody knows "SICP" no need to tell you what it is. Now I realize it refers to the book "Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs".

The most modern CD ripper frontend for Linux I've found is whipper, which is a fork of morituri. It also has detailed log files, no ideas if "certain sites" accept them or not.

Due to dependency shenanigans I couldn't run it on Debian so I created an LXC container on my server running Ubuntu 18.04, passed the /dev/sr0 block device and it worked.

I was at a vehicle AI conference early this month discussing how AI will only output based on the quality of its inputs. And the fear coming out of that conference was if space wasn't correctly dedicated or allocated, the AI will optimize the systems as much as it can to squeeze out every single ounce of efficiency.

Qualitative items such as the ones listed are important for customer focused environments, however, I'm not sure if AI can account for such factors.

Yep. The "optimized" floorplans would be an order of magnitude more expensive to build than the original. I mean, drywall alone would take a lot more time with all the cuts, mudding and sanding more joints. The thought of framing out these walls makes my head hurt.
You make an interesting observation. By way of example, those who were taught rightly by Gautama Buddha apparently were trained to prefix their accounts with "I heard that…". The reason was that they were told when they say something they don't know then it makes karma in themselves which obscures their view of reality and can also come to ruin themselves. Simply put, if 51% of your knowledge is falsehood then if you were to try to teach others, it would make you change for the net worse by accumulating falsehood. So karma is something in a person which tries to make itself exist through its own activities and comes from what happened to that person, and makes a person see 'what was' instead of 'what is'. Anyway, I notice a lot of people saying Plato was a terrible person. He may have had an idealistic streak due to lack of specific training (the limitation of Socrates, perhaps). I believe it's true that idealism can kill. But suppose he had just stuck to reporting what happened during the trial and during the actual conversations with Socrates (and perhaps even himself). Do you suppose there would be nearly the surface area upon which to mount a campaign against Plato (culminating in accusations of being complicit in inciting totalitarianism etc) if Plato had said "I heard that…"?
Mainprise is a startup building a peer-to-peer bail payment platform on NEM Blockchain. The BAIL Token platform will enable family and friends to request low fee bail payments. Instead of throwing money away on bail bondsmen. Families apply for bail on the platform. After verifying their identity, they provide details on the accused such as name, bail amount, arrest charge, jail location, and booking number. The details along with details sourced from public data are fed into an AI-based risk scoring tool to generate a risk score. The tool will use data from millions of cases to help determine if the accused is likely to skip trial or commit another crime if released. Based on the score a fee of 0-3% is paid by the applicant.

Once the accused is released, we monitor the court calendars and notify them of court dates and changes. After attending court and regardless of the verdict, guilty or innocent. The bail payment is refunded by the court and returned to the token holders along with a share of the fee collected.

Evidence.

Instead of coming up with idea and guessing what would be useful, I did research on problems people had, and then got additional evidence that a particular problem I'd discovered resonated. (See e.g. https://stackingthebricks.com/how-do-you-create-a-product-pe... for intro this approach.)

That meant every time I had those negative thoughts, I could come back with "but you have so much evidence!".

(In my case evidence was: bunch of online discussions of people talking about problems, wrote some blog posts about those problems, one blog post got tens of thousands of hits, and other blog posts on topic got lots of hits too. So clearly a problem people have. And product is something these particular people will pay for.)
amelius asked why all of our skin does not heal like our mouth. Stating there should be some evolutionary disadvantage "otherwise evolution would have generated mice with faster-healing skin". Evolution does not have some kind of internal bias towards applying past positive mutations in other places, and random mutations are not exhaustive. We have no reason to suspect that a "mouth skin everywhere" mutation has already happened and did not work out.

Guided is perhaps not the right term, "goal-directed" being a better one.

Both arrays and interfaces are heap allocated. Slice is just a pointer to a heap allocated array.

Structure could be stack allocated, but any of it's fields would not if there is anything but a number.

A trivial example:

https://segment.com/blog/allocation-efficiency-in-high-perfo...

func main() {
x := 42
fmt.Println(x)
}

./main.go:7: x escapes to heap

So a trivial interface cast leads to allocation.

> It seems like the entire solar industry is focused more on extracting government subsidies than on creating long term revenue streams.

Some might argue this is the exact nature of government subsidies.

People are always going to make choices in their economic self-interest. Either solar needs to be the most cost effective solution for their energy needs, or the government needs to artificially inflate the cost of other energy (or reduce any subsidies to other energy to make solar more competitive).

Every time a hurricane knocks out a town's electric grid and federal funds are used to repair it, that's a subsidy. When government authority to exercise eminent domain acquires easements or land to erect power distribution, that's a subsidy. Not to mention utilities being absolved from responsibility for the pollution they create.

speaking from experience (I have been incarcerated in the past) the bail system is a complete joke.

If you get the public defender, you'll likely see about a 6 minute pretrial to set your bail if you get one. its factory-like in its efficiency, and you're lined up with 20 other inmates that were just loaded off a bus from the local jail. The judge is half-asleep, likely overworked, or just too jaded to care anymore. assuming you havent killed anyone, you'll get around a 50k bail. mine was just shy of $34,000 USD.

If you dont have the cash for bail, you can attempt to secure a bail bond at 10% of the face amount. youll do this through family members sometimes, but youll use the jail phone. Using the jail phone is about nine dollars per phone call as its managed by a private phone company. your access to this phone is often once per week, because jails are massively overcrowded and youre scheduled a 5 minute phone call.

After sleeping on a yoga mat in a group cell for about 2 weeks, you'll finally make bail. This often comes with a processing fee from the county or city. depending on your city, you'll also be issued a bill or invoice for your stay in jail. If you were assaulted or sent to medical, your bill will include any treatment. some jails can use this to refuse your bail paperwork...so no matter what you got for a bail bond, its now useless.
and behavior? Anything at all can be used to refuse bail processing.

Once I'd made restitution and been released from prison, the bond fee had been paid, and I was a free man. Or so you'd think. Most bail bond agencies have their own team of bounty hunters and they dont maintain accurate paperwork for many orders. Due to a misfiling, I was labeled as a skip-jump. Before even checking with the state for a warrant, their 'team' had tackled me in a taco bell parking lot at 8 am on my way to work. I spent nearly an hour in the back of a police cruiser until I was released. I was not given the option to press charges.

The standard shouldn't be that government decisions are set in stone forever, period. The standard should be good policy, in both directions. If a previous government sets a bad policy, a future government should not be bound to it. If it sets a good policy, a future government should uphold it. If a future government decides to be "bad" and tear up everything, no piece of paper will stop them.

the google play store does this -- reviews left on older versions of applications will be denoted as such. the developer response to comments is also made public, so a bad review on a 1.0 release could have the dev apologizing and saying it's fixed for 1.1, with the current version being 1.1.5, and one could infer (with enough faith in the developer) that the issue is resolved.
Only in the sense that it looks like an insect hive, I think.

Well, as the author of ANTLR, I will disagree with your assessment of the tool as you can imagine. It never claimed to be a general tool. Specifically, it cannot handle indirect left-recursion; hence, not a general context free grammar parser. It is however the sweet spot between generality and speed. That quote was having a bit of fun using a tiny bit of hyperbole. If you take a look at our academic paper you will see that the general parsers are like walking a minefield. One never knows when they will hit a landmine and the parser takes overnight to parse a file. It took me 30 years to find the sweet spot in power and speed (with the help of Sam Harwell). I welcome the introduction of new tools, but I'm not sure your assessment is accurate nor is your understanding of the parsing landscape.

Also as the paper says, "GLR return multiple
parse trees (forests) for ambiguous grammars because they
were designed to handle natural language grammars, which are often intentionally ambiguous. For computer languages, ambiguity is almost always an error." When was the last time you wanted to parse a language where the same syntax meant two different things? C++ and a few other cases, sure, but most languages are specifically designed to be unambiguous.

You are welcome to use a tool that handles all context free grammars, but the speed and ambiguity issues are not something I care to deal with.

You also mischaracterize ANTLR's handling of left recursion. It handles immediate left recursion through a rewrite automatically such as for expressions. It does not handle indirect left recursion. You may have not seen ANTLR 4, and are basing your assessment on ANTLR 3? There is no aborting at compile time for left recursion, except in the unusual case of indirect left record.

Like I mentioned, I have high hopes modelling vaguer aspects of customer preference can be incorporated by training a model on rendered generative design (e.g. with data from amazon turk), which can then be used as maybe some kind of penalization on the efficiency loss function, multiplied by a weight to give us a choice in the efficiency-comfort tradeoff-space.

There are solutions that I think show potential out there. I don't think our future AI designed world necessarily need to ignore difficult-to-quanitify dimensions like aesthetics. (Though amazon turk is expensive, especially in developer man-hours, so I can understand if that won't always be done.)

> along with a share of the fee

I don't understand this bit: if it's a fee, why return any of it? Is the returned part of the fee to cover extra cost in cases where they don't go to court? Otherwise that extra part is not a fee, just extra bail.
If you are a socialist, you ignored my most important argument :

> If the median income in a nation is $40K, but the median pension given by the state exceeds that income, then who is suffering unfairly if the pension is reduced to be more in line with what the average worker earns?

If government pensions pay out more at retirement than the median worker makes while working, would you agree that under socialism this would be considered unfair to the worker, and overly exploitative for the pensioner?
