A huge portion of northern, eastern and southern queens, eastern brooklyn, and staten island is more than a 10 minute walk from the subway. I live in Queens and am a 40 minute bus ride from the nearest subway station. Swaths of brooklyn are the same.

Here's a map showing the tiny portion of Queens in walking distance of subways. https://cwhong.carto.com/viz/6dfca01c-47e5-11e6-9fd3-0ee66e2.... And yes, it's almost all residential zoned, filled brick to brick with houses and apartments.

Based on this density map (https://www.google.com/search?q=pppulation+densoty+map+nyc&o...) I'd peg it at 35% of the city's pop.
All of that is moot if it's the Saudi government buying in.

Tesla are by far the most advanced of all "green" car manufacturers; over the next 7-12 years there will be countries banning petrol/diesel cars.

If Tesla can scale their battery and car production by that time then you could be looking at a market share of Apple proportions.
I recently switched from a Hackintosh to a brand-new MacBook Pro. My desktop was/is way more powerful than the new laptop, but MAN is the new MBP more enjoyable to use.

Some things I ran into on a daily basis:

* GPU support (at least with Nvidia) is terrible. Anything GPU-bound was absolutely horrendous. The OS would just freeze and reboot itself a dozen times a day due to the GPU (and not obviously e.g. overheating issues). No issues at all when running Windows on the same box. And this was after I spent hours trawling forum posts and fiddling around with kexts and patches and installing random tools off GitHub that would let you downgrade from the latest Nvidia drivers to the last "known good" ones. This didn't used to be as bad, but High Sierra really fucked things over.

* I never got non-Bluetooth audio working. The community recommended a USB audio adapter; never worked for me. I'd occasionally connect AirPods, but not having proper support for the fast device switching meant it was a pain in the ass.

* iMessage worked... maybe 30-40% of the time? Switching over to my new Mac, I'm amazed how I'd trained myself away from sending text messages on my Mac purely because I didn't expect it to work reliably.

* Other little things didn't work that you wouldn't reasonably expect to work. Apple Pay in Safari via your phone, unlocking your computer with an Apple Watch, remote iOS debugging in Xcode / Safari, etc. Little things that I didn't really notice at the time, but are so much nicer now that I'm back in first-party hardware land.

I'm glad I did the experiment, and I'm glad I still have my custom box lying around for Windows gaming, but man am I happy to be back on first-party hardware. If I needed to switch back to using my tower as my primary computer, I'd definitely use Linux or Windows before going back to a Hackintosh.
My solution to that was to RD into a Mac Mini. It was good enough to fulfill my obligations, then I got away from iOS development completely.
Ask HN: What do you use for tables on the web?
Mainly a back-end engineer I'm looking for input in designing the most user-friendly and complete front-end for visualizing, filtering, sorting and editing the tabular data in my database.

It seems even after all these years datatables is still the most complete solution, for this seemingly generic problem.

Any suggestions? I'm open to any or no framework.
IP infringement and theft are different things, infringement is often done in regards to IP that is in the open, if I hack and steal your trade secrets which are by definition secrets and not protected by a patent what is that then?

And in any case you are arguing about semantics, "theft" is also technically not a singular legal definition but an amalgamation of different civil and criminal legal statues.

In most jurisdictions intangible property also does fall under the broader definition of theft:

There are solutions for street parking (both standalone and equipment that can piggyback off street lamp installs). In this case, you do need municipal buy in for the installation and maintenance of this infrastructure.
Depending upon one's state of residence, the liquor market can be anything but "free".

Chemicals can have levels of dilution, where below a certain level it ceases to be a threat. Diluted in air, or in liquids.

You cant dilute a fibre....

This is also the same reason why nanoparticles are such a threat.
1. So, what tangible benefits did you get from the country going to the moon? How has it affected your everyday life? Sure, we have more space based stuff, but most of those things don't contribute anything to our well-being. No new mining operations on the moon for new resources. Nothing. Sure, maybe in the very long term it will have a return, but now, nothing. All the auxiliary inventions from it were already possible without going to the moon itself, just continuing space exploration.
2. And the government was facing competition like a private business. Soviet Russia provided the competition. If Russia didn't, there's no reason for the US to. In that way, even the moon landings were operating capitalistically, just on a higher level. Most of the resulting inventions from it anyways were for bettering weapons of war than anything truly substantial for the people. So, we went to the moon, cool.
It’s always funny to me when people say “we’re killing the planet!” Uh no, we’re just making it uninhabitable for ourselves and some other species. Earth doesn’t give a damn either way
Or an alternative to number 2, the acquisition does not go through and the stock plummets 20% from current price and you're now deeply in the red. I don't know enough about Tesla to predict which one is the mos likely but I have seen this happen in other companies.
Same here, I've never even touched the PiHole other than checking stats and doing updates. I've got about 15-20 devices on my network (a few phones, multiple computers, smart TV, Hue Lights, Nest, WeMo, etc). Haven't had a single problem. My Pi just sits there running constantly without even having to reboot it. Can't say the same for any other device that I own.

I don't think he's at all concerned about the license. He's just saying most people won't and shouldn't do "real work" on a machine that could break at any point with no possibility for support.
Which is why I edited my comment to provide more detail. It's not just the EV rebates, Tesla has also received substantial government handouts; on the order of billions.
Financing on this scale would require a massive and likely quite lengthy undertaking if this is not a stop gap bluff it looks like they already have a buyer and it looks like all the usual suspects as far as financing goes are not involved.
Every employee holds stock. I don't think every employee is in the position of never needing to sell. A price crash is bad for morale.

How can you possibly say that when MBP keyboards are failing left and right from single grains of sand, while Lenovo keyboards are being lauded for their indestructibility by multiple hardware ratings sites?

You seem to not, but I do regularly. I just last month stuck an SSD into an old laptop (which to be fair you can do for some macbook models), and my desktops regularly get upgraded piecemeal...
There are lots and lots of very violent criminal gangs made up of white people from the US who speak English. Many of them are, in fact, white supremacist gangs.

I do not see any evidence that gangs have anything to do with being immigrants. I think gangs have something to do with a culture having an underclass.

Don’t you think they can’t learn that just like you did?
Not so easy.

In the US, the prison system is also used to deal with mental illness, unemployment and homelessness.

See NYC for how that works:

1., Create a zero tolerance policy

2., Invest in high police coverage

3., Arrest people on small stuff, like public intoxication, urination, etc.

4., Three strikes is a compounding factor, so three small things and boom, you're off the streets for years.

It did help clean up NYC, but rather going the social housing and mental health way, it simply put a lot of poor people in jail.

Now, is this for societies greater good? Is NYC overall a better, safer place for poor people? No easy answers there.
You're counter-argument is disingenuous, almost to the point of willful ignorance.

It's obvious that a missile can be used to send bombs across the world just as well as it can be used to send satellites into space.

Minecraft seems like a great form of entertainment that can be used as an educational tool. The fact that it might also be destructive to the development of children is non-obvious and takes some expertise outside the domain of software engineering to uncover.

Well I had them. As soon as I realised it wasn't trivial I wanted to know how to do it and why it couldn't be trivial.

It's OK to be bad at new things.
Yeah sure, but Cannabis fumes from the shared heating system are not. My friends are selling their downtown condos to GTFO to the suburbs.
I read the summaries and skimmed through the videos but couldn't find anything on ethics, fairness, transparency or data protection. Is there anything?

If not, I really think that these topics should be addressed (even if only briefly) in any "field guide" to machine learning. Especially FB should give those some more attention after their numerous scandals and "mishaps".

Now, before you downvote this or say "but this is just about the methods and tools" please take a moment to think about how much power ML models can have over people when deployed at FB scale.

I would like to see at least a (brief) discussion of the following topics in such guides:

- Data Provenance & Data Ethics (Can I use this? Should I?)

- Data Protection & Security (How can I protect personal information when doing ML?)

- Model Fairness (How can I ensure my model is fair and does not discriminate?)

- Model Transparency (How can I explain the results of the model to users and colleagues?)
I'm a newbie when it comes to calls and puts, couldn't they just fill their shorts now (no pun intended, I seriously don't know the terminology) if they're worried about it? Tesla closed at $370.
Would there be rumors though, when improper disclosure could potentially be illegal and bring down the SEC on your head?

Also, even if there are rumors, why would that necessarily logically go from bankers talking to each other to immediately blabbing to the press?

I wonder who Elon has been having dinner with over the last weeks/months...

I am sure hes already been lining up those who would want to do something - and it should be a clear sign about the Saudi position that was announced...

Basically, he's likely got House of Saud involved as they are flamboyant gamblers and would love to be associated with this if it succeeds, because the fame of this is worth more to them than the money at this point... so I am sure he already has the major financing arranged.
I've had some moderate success using Racket as a math supplement tool, but I waited for late 4th grade for a child that was already mathematically motivated.
Whenever this topic comes up, I like to link to this [1] study done by the ACLU. It is a study on people that have received life without parole for nonviolent offenses. It is truly shocking that US lawmakers have allowed even one of these sentences to happen. The "land of the free" is anything but. Here's one of the more salient quotes:

"...thousands of people are serving life
sentences without the possibility of parole for nonviolent crimes as petty as siphoning gasoline from an 18-wheeler, shoplifting three belts, breaking into a parked car and stealing a woman’s bagged lunch, or possessing a bottle cap smeared with heroin residue."

Are there any OSS maintainers who use air-gapped computers to sign packages (at least for major versions)? I would expect this level of precautions be taken for projects that may have large-scale repercussions in the event of a security breach.
I know Twitter is powerful, but its wild to imagine you're Elon Musk or Kylie Jenner or Donald Trump, you know that when you push send, the 280 characters you typed will cause millions of people to either smile or frown, lead to significant financial gains or losses, and set the course of news for the morning, day or week. That level of influence is crazy to think about.
Unraveling the mysteries of megadrought
I don't mean to rub it in , those people who said to short Tesla a couple weeks ago were sure wrong. Last week Steve Eisman who rose to fame in 2008 by betting against the housing market, shorted Tesla. That position is probably at least 25% underwater now. Not only that, but Tesla losing money does not mean it is insolvent, because it can keep raising money and most of those losses are capital expenditures instead of operating losses.
Look, I am an extreme pessimist in most things but here I disagree. If (big if) we escape some traps, we may be able to send at least unmanned space ships or Ships with Androids.
Makes sense.

But note also that if Musk pulls this off, he might be able to do it without external financing, because virtually all Tesla creditors and shareholders today (i.e., people who are in one way or another net-long the company) are true long-term believers in Musk's vision who are unconcerned with the company's short-term financial issues. (People concerned with Tesla's financial issues are either avoiding exposure to the company or betting against it.) True-believer shareholders (including converted creditors) will want to hang on to their shares as the company goes private and shares start trading "by appointment" on less liquid, secondary private equity markets, potentially at more unicorny prices due to the absence of short selling.

If I'm right, short sellers are in for a world of pain. They will likely have to scramble to cover their short positions in the face of a limited supply of shares before delisting.
What's not to get?

The owner gets more control - both on the company, it's long term vision, it's investors and the future of the company.

It's a win for all.

What advantage does being public get you?

It gets you $ at a massive cost - both regulatory and quarterly.
Sure, except Texas has far more moderate and right-leaning sorts in their cities than California and Washington to counteract viewpoints like this. Austin is my favorite frickin' city in the US and I had a blast living there. I hope to return soon.
Don’t forget about the defense
I am almost certain we have laws on the books to deal with that. The point is identifying that before they do anything.
Tesla has halted trading after Musk tweeted that he may take the company private
Part of me wonders if it isn't a side-effect, but the goal: put the squeezin' on the shorts. But, man, if that tin-foil hat theory is true, Musk better have someone in the wings at least pretending to want to finance this lest the SEC come a-knockin'. Normally, I'd just pass that off as "haha, wouldn't that be funny!", but given some of Musk's tweets lately, there's still a little part of me that entertains the idea as plausible.
Right, I see where you're coming from. RE: connectivity, I think I'm misunderstanding you here, but the latest x1s do charge via USB-c, and come with 2 USBc ports and 2 usbA ports... and a headphone jack ;)

This feels like a false argument to me. I don't think most people are saying he's an underachiever, just opposing the idea that everything he does is good.
>Tesla has also received a substantial amount of government support

Yes, the message here is almost all large industries in all countries receive substantial government support.

The amount of goverment subsidy for fossil fuels that normal cars run on, for instance, is much higher than for renewables.
NPR - I listen to All Things Considered and read articles on their website.
Thank you for the suggestion, I'll add some example outputs. Perhaps something like asciinema may be useful. I used to have some animated gifs of a recorded terminal session but I removed it as so many changes were happening it got outdated fast.

If its the Saudi government buying in then CFIUS will have something to say about this.

They normally weigh in on takeovers but this is in their jurisdiction as it would be a foreign entity taking on ownership of a US company.

If CFIUS allows this or not is definitively up for debate and probably a 50=50 call at this point.

At best you can say it would require some negotiation with Saudi Arabia at a time when things are great between the two countries.
Surely Bitcoin miners will snatch up these opportunities soon. Cheap electricity can be translated into money if you have the mining equipment.

"That is, an auto-car can be "on duty" even while just sitting in storage."

If you consider the robot to "work" for more hours than a human, that's great, but due to the lower average revenue, it needs to be cheaper in order to be competitive with humans. There's no way to move your self-driving car to the opposite side of the world for the night.

"Whether any increase would be drastic is debatable, but there's opportunity for something."

If self-driving cars are cheaper, it seems like that would lead to more of them driving longer hours than humans, which would lower the utilization rather than increase it.
tesla already build and ran this for a while in cali. not much interest for those reasons, plus tesla superchargers are fast enough.
> two Turing machines working together are not a Turing machine

They can be. For example multi-tape turing machines can be nice for modelling certain problems (e.g. "monotone turing machines", with a read-only tape, a write-only tape and a normal read/write tape appear a lot in algorithmic information theory).

> if made right you could cut the machine in half and get two lisp machines

I get where you're coming from in theory, but that's quite far removed from the common usage of the term "lisp machines" (i.e. those which were sold in the 80s), which weren't particularly different from other computers of the time, except for being optimised (in tandem with the OS) for particular workloads (i.e. Lisp programs).
A language by itself is almost never useful, every language needs a killer app, a concrete tangible thing that that language can do better 100x better than any alternative. Like how Ruby had Rails or JS had browsers or Python has ML. That’s not to say you can’t do other things with these, just that their competitor is good enough and has momentum and mind share. It sounds like Dart now has Flutter and I think that’s going to be a huge deal moving forward.
Like I said, it's not so much about them remembering (though that would be nice), it's about providing a memory for those within earshot.

If you know the laws and see a car breaking a law, then call the police and tell them someone is breaking the law

Do you live in a city with a big gigcar presence? These incidents only last a minute, so other strategies are necessary. FWIW, they are invariably also blocking the bike lane.
Yes, I wouldn't want to work on something that in the end just tries to sell more widgets, or serve more effective ads. I currently work in water management software.
Probably because gas stations and EV chargers have very different logistics and modalities. For example, you could realistically put an electrical outlet by every parking space, but doing that with gas pumps would be completely untenable.
I think the ideal solution would have been some sort of automatic tagging based off the folder structure. It would have allowed him to keep his previous workflow (maybe? I have never touched itunes) while allowing him to transition to tagging.

I for one love tagging search systems, but still need folder structures for organization. I feel itchy when all my shit is just slopped into a single folder, especially when I need to work in the terminal for something.
Nothing but a very comfortable safety net. I mean come on, his parents were part of the group of people who fled South Africa after the end of Apartheid... not exactly rags to riches.

Good. That's a well functioning market economy. Those who make poor investment choices need to feel the sting of losses else the market fails to work correctly.

You may be right, but history has shown otherwise. Tesla seems to always find a way to defy what seems obvious but is not. Musk would not have made this tweet wit ha specific target unless he was pretty sure he could get it all financed and finalized.
