TLDR: Apple has told people not to play DNS/tunnel games, you need to use their privacy protecting ad blocking infrastructure.

AdGuard didn’t, so Apple stopped them.

Absolutely no surprise here.
> What makes a statement a lie and what makes it morally wrong are the same thing – that the speaker tries to get someone to adopt what the speaker herself regards as a false belief.

This is one perspective. But it introduces a problem that if someone is manipulated, and by continuation they manipulate another (e.g. MLM schemes), only the founder of the MLM is morally guilty, even if everyone who joined was negligent in repeating his lies.
Sharing because this is a nice intro deck that new people on our team (Kaggle) have found useful for coming up to speed on ML
You're sort of cherrypicking those numbers aren't you?... If you look a few lines down, you'll see that total liabilities and equity have gone down by over $1B. Also it's not ~$2B, it's $2.8B from $3.2B last quarter, which was my point about the cash burn. It's clear that the fears of running out of cash and defaulting are completely unfounded. They have multiple years of burn rate.
Tesla sold fewer than 20,000 Model 3s in Q2. How is that an accomplishment?

Tesla is also claiming 50% of an extremely niche segment. It's like someone bragging about having the top-selling book in the Historical Sci-Fi Alien Albinos category.
Pretty sure `import * as React from 'react';` is the correct EcmaScript syntax because React does not expose an ES module compatible `default` export. You're just used to it working anyway thanks to babel accepting CommonJS modules, but TypeScript is the one that actually follows the standard here.
I agree. My original question came from curiosity, not incredulity :)
the PC metaphor is cute but it leaves out a few things imo. programming a robot to e.g. move things around in your workshop is intrinsically harder than eg. programming a home computer to do your taxes (for the robot you need computer vision, sensor fusion, motion planning etc). it will take the equivalent of BASIC before widespread use is feasible (= something that automates away the low level sensor-motor complexity). so is that coming soon?

Sounds like it still fits to me.

From his point of view, you aren't a credible source, so he thinks you are trying to manipulate him (he doesn't like it). But he respects the other coworkers so they can influence him (he likes it). It's not just about the message, there are a lot of factors in play.

*Not saying I agree with the parent's definitions. Just that they could still fit your experience
Rather, they’re moot once Tesla has exhausted diluting equity and issuing in the bond markets.

Cash on hand is important, but not the end all be all. See MoviePass and how they were extended additional funds ($5MM) even with no business plan and road to profitability.

Part of that is that in multi -vehicle accidents bigger cars do more damage to small ones because they have more mass. So the bigger car is definitely safer for its occupants, but not necessarily better overall.

Pedestrian vs SUV bull bars turned out to be so grim for the pedestrians that they've been banned in Europe. The occupant safety statistics only tell part of the story.
Interestingly, in defamation law we recognize reckless disregard for the truth, not merely actual belief in the falsity of the statement, as a mental state that (along with actual falsity and resulting harm) produces culpability.

As I said, unpopular.

It doesn't ignore human nature, it asks that you embrace your humanity. Until recently people would have argued that "unwanted advances" were "human nature." NO! As an adult human you're better than that. Control yourself.

I'm not really understanding why it provides "awful advice"? Why should your children bear the responsibilities of your lack of self control?
Given their market penetration in India, it wouldn't surprise me if they went so far as to set up in-person payment infrastructure. Wouldn't have to be complicated - it could even be like the Steam or Hulu gift cards you pick up at BestBuy. Any shop or market stall could sell them, just ship 'em out en masse and charge the store when they activate, possibly via the app.
I heard that many CS majors in India have never used a computer, some of them have impressive theoretical knowledge and become successful in real jobs.

It's hard to overstate just how weird the driving dynamics of a Prius are. I have a used one from like 8 years ago and going from it to driving a regular car is always a big adjustment because a Prius just doesn't handle like any other car. Solid commuter vehicle either way, though, and I can't complain about the gas mileage!
7500/35,000 = 21.4%

It's a 21% price increase, assuming the buyer would have been fully eligible for the credit.

Yeah, that's definitely going to change the math for a lot of prospective buyers. A basic Model 3 isn't worth $35,000 cash compared to other similarly priced EVs, especially not when those competitors will still qualify for the rebate.

If we’re calling 4 people killed a massacre, then the word has just lost all meaning. It was horrible, criminal, and infamous, but massacre is hyperbole especially when compared to the thousand+ (someone else in this thread posted a BBC article citing 10,000) killed at Tiananmen it’s not even remotely similar.

Microdosing: People who take LSD with breakfast (2017)
I am appalled that such an assertion can be made openly. It is, frankly, simply vile to suggest that children be taken away from struggling parents by society, rather than society being obligated to help those parents raise their children. To do so would be not only criminal, but profoundly immoral.
Hopefully, providing market share to other providers will eventually fund them enough to close the gap a little bit or even just help them approach the statisfice level for more people.

I thought your name sounded familiar! I played around with Mithril.js for a bit before settling on React.js and was really impressed with how you took the simplicity of JS and used it to your advantage with Mithril! Sad to say that I couldn't replicate that cleverness in my own code because I could not really wrap my head around the reasoning you used to come to code you did in your examples of using Mithril, but that's just more evidence that you're a smart guy, so thanks for making Mithril which helped widen my view of what could be done with JavaScript frameworks! Also is there any reason you chose Flow over TypeScript?
Wow. I have been studying philosophy for half a century (and in fact am planning to write a book on the subject), and I have never heard anyone claim that materialists don't believe in truth because they don't believe in non-material objects. That is one damn strange argument.

The fact is, materialists have a different understanding of the correct meaning of the term "truth" than that. Ditto the pragmatists.

The fact that you don't seem to be aware of that indicates to me that you have a quite poor understanding of Western academic philosophy.
I'm arguing exactly the opposite!

A parents lack of self/impulse control shouldn't be the child's responsibility. And we should strive as much as possible to prevent people from doing something that might cause that to be the case. Obviously once a child is born we need to work on making sure they have a bright and fulfilling future, but why not stop it at the source?
> A: have you tried `import * as React from 'react';`

> Me: Golly!

You're fundamentally misrepresenting that whole issue, and if you'd read just two or three comments down you'd see that there is a better fix, and part of the problem is a behaviour that's not even related to the ECMAScript standard.
I suppose the difference is that Android still tries to be a PC-on-a-Phone where iOS never intended to be that way. It's sort-of a Hardware+Software vs. Appliance nuance, while one is the other, the latter is not designed to become the former.
That's because New York gets cold enough that trying this in New York will kill you through the cold. You'd freeze to death in the first year.

I've got a Clownshoe but in 2015 I also bought a Golf R 6MT (replaced by the Tesla) instead of an F31 3 series wagon because of BMW's shortsightedness in not bringing a manual over anymore -- a car I waited YEARS for, basically since the E91 was discontinued. I always argued that by catering to the fashionistas instead of car people, they wouldn't have a "base" once the fashion went elsewhere. Well, the fashion is going to electric cars and they're being left behind...
Very good points, I think I concede with "stands against abuse" and "firm ethical stance". Apple will do whatever the board and the shareholders demand.

I am mixing up ethics with business motivation.

Apple - Good ethics, but tied to business performance. They cannot and will not exit China or go against the grain with the Chinese authorities.

Google - Sells your data to advertisers, but has good ethical stance against authorities abusing data. Google doesn't operate in China since a decade or more I believe. They've somehow convinced the shareholders.
Self control is unreasonable? You honestly sound like those creepy men who go around slapping random coworker's behinds because that's what comes naturally.

I have the feeling anything PG says these days is applauded w/o proper reflection. Maybe it’s just me, but I have the feeling most of his thoughts are quite profane
"that moment when computers stopped being massive machines that only a handful of corporations could operate to something everybody found a use for—small businesses first, homes some time later"
Banks are messed up in China and won’t officially lend to companies that aren’t really safe bets or politically connected (SOEs). As a result, a lot of shadow and underground banking was needed to fill in the gaps, the P2P lending being basically an extension of that.

For consumers, it’s a bit different, but again the kind of official loans available are much more restricted than the developed world, with lots of unofficial lending again filling in the gaps.
Awesome overview! I've built actor -oriented implementations in a variety of domains, from finance to education to messaging, and find it a very useful way to think about the world. It can focus your thinking around which state (and actions) should be colocated, and orient you towards event based interfaces that focus around that data rather than specific client needs. People coming from modern programming paradigms will find many useful analogies -- e.g. to SOA/microservice decomposition, to components in a redux event loop.

Some cautions: as with any factorization scheme, granularity is important. The actor model makes it easy to think within actors, and hard to reason about interactions. Don't overfactor!

Also, orienting around event streams means forgoing synchronous requests. This can lead to insane complexity where each actor awaits specific replies to act on remote state. When adopting a framework, never ignore the useful tools it leaves behind (like the way synchronous request interfaces imply a round trip handshake being handled by another layer).
Each to their own, however the Leaf looks good in its 2018 refresh, the earlier model was a design abomination but some people bought them.

In Europe with tighter roads and enough charging stations springing up the new Leaf is looking more desirable than the Model 3. The range has increased on the Leaf for 2018 and with the growing infrastructure in charging I am not sure everyone needs the increased range of the 3.

Nissan have earned their spurs in EV, as have Tesla obviously. I would be happy buying from them due to their innovation and design effort. I would not buy an electric VW Golf or even an electric Smart Car as that ground up engineering hasn't been done, it is a mere retro-fit of an existing fossil-burner.

I think the fossil-burner marques that thought they could just put some batteries in the back seat and rip out the ICE did so for regulatory lip-service reasons, a bit like how Aston Martin came out with a re-badged Toyota iQ so that the average fuel consumption figures across their fleet could be lowered. Clearly it is not in the Aston Martin DNA to make a car that is vaguely safe outside school gates. Neither has it been in the DNA of the Big Three or the German auto companies to want to do electric power properly.

I don't know what the Chevy Bolt is there for, however I think the Nissan Leaf has grown into something that suits the European market really well. Teslas are a bit too land-yacht sized for Europe plus European buyers have different standards when it comes to panel fit. Even the 'autopilot' is ridiculous in European markets where there are 'roads and motorways' not 'highways, surface roads and the interstate'. The ludicrous mode is nice to have but the novelty has worn off. The Leaf is quicker on the 0-60 times than the Nissan Qashqai and able to compete at the lights with pimped fossil burners, that is enough, there is no need for it to trounce passing Ferraris.

The BMW i3 fits a niche in London as it is compact enough to actually park. People can sneak into EV only parking spots and avoid congestion charges. There are people able to pay the premium for these benefits, they are not necessarily wanting to go green, just have private transport and be able to park it.

Tesla are working their way down from the top of the market and it could be a while before they create an 'econobox'. Realistically there is a good chance that the car you want comes from elsewhere, e.g. China, and that it has new technology such as a much smaller battery coupled to a supercapacitor for regen/city economy. Waiting for the fossil burning marques to produce something is a waste of time, EV is not in their DNA.
Why do we have to accept preventable deaths of any kind?

We can start banning all sorts of things to reduce car deaths.

Lower the highest speed limit to 35mph.

Ban having a cell phone in your car, because access to it is distracting.

Ban listening to music in your car because that is distracting.

Why focus on slowing progress on the best thing for road safety - self-driving cars, while letting humans risk their lives all day and night due to their own negligence?
It was the equivalent of US$1 in reais.
That's a pretty ridiculous comparison because of the difference in scale. There are significant opportunity costs to putting 10s of thousands of dollars into something that will depreciate in value over time rather than increase. Especially when you're in your 20's. That amount of money invested could be worth a lot more in 30 years. Compound growth is your friend.

Thomas Dolby [0] has a great anecdote about meeting Marc Porat and Bill Gates in his autobiography ‘The Speed of Sound’

“Marc Porat and I were eyeball-to-eyeball as he continued to fill me in about his company. Marc didn’t notice, but across the table, Bill Gates was ignoring the sycophants to his left and right, and straining to eavesdrop on Marc’s jargon-laden elevator pitch. Gates seemed to be getting more and more agitated, and was poking at his beef Wellington. As Marc explained his technology in more detail, Gates began rocking nervily back and forth in his chair.

“You’ll have these intelligent agents, as I call them,” said Marc quietly, “scouting and negotiating on your behalf, pulling in data from all over the Net. Eventually you won’t really need a PC, because all your work will be in a sort of cloud.”

Suddenly there was an explosion from across the table. “MARC, THAT’S FUCKING BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT!” It was Gates.

His tie was too tight and the veins were bulging on his neck. In the wake of this high-decibel outburst, a deadly silence descended on the room. Startled faces at both tables turned our way. Even the waiters froze, silver ladles in their hands. Amid the hush that had fallen, Marc Porat visibly shriveled in his seat, looking like he wished a hole would swallow him up.”

The whole book is worth a read.

This is not a direct comparison even though everyone should appreciate Toyota’s accomplishment. Tesla started from nothing.
