I just want to emphasis that Elon Musk was never and never will be the founder of Tesla. Instead, Elon Musk booted to 3 original founders out of Tesla.

The original Tesla Roadster was no idea of Elon Musk and also not developed by Elon Musk. It was 3 engineers from the Valley who had the idea of the Tesla Roadster. Elon Musk was a Series A VC at Tesla at the time being. The founders had the idea of developing a hybrid as a following to the Roadster like the Fisker done at the time. At time it happend, I don't know how, that Elon Musk booted those original founders out, because Elon wanted an electric only car.

I guarantee that this village has no internet (other than 3/4G with a data cap).
A thorough explanation for a 0.1 project seems a high bar. I'd like to see an example or two where it loses data in the manner he speaks of, though.
More to the point, it’s proof of mental alacrity to find new challenges worth meeting.

To seek out cool things, even if they represent difficult accomplishments, and maintain enough drive to reach the finish line.

Imitating one successful chess strategy, and using it on only those who are unfamiliar with how to defend against it, is very different from being generally good at chess, and a handful of other complicated games as well.

Bezos. Amazon has revolutionised the way we buy things, meaning land is no longer needed for strip malls, oil isn't burnt driving to them, people aren't having inferior things pushed on them by dodgy salesmen, or wasting an hour to buy a single item, or buying the wrong item because the right one is out of stock.

Maybe if you had had free education you could have been a high income guy, perhaps even a doctor!
Older people find it easy to get for one simple reason. They don't stay for long. And if they do, they are already old. So they won't abscond or go missing to stay as illegal immigrants.

Young people are likely to stay for long, some times even tear their passports and throw away to become illegal immigrants.

Also there have been cases when elderly people from India visit the US on a B1/B2 Visa, and then work hourly wages as nannies.
They are going to buy them all then rent them back to the original inhabitants. Then write non ironic post about how everyone should build passive source of income because working a 4 hours week is great
Completely agree. I realized this perspective immediately after I made the post.

This is a very old story. Musk has become a celebrity. Everyone knows who he is. He dates famous singers, models etc. He has a drug dependency. He increasingly is making bizarre statements.

Dude needs a handler. His continued success probably depends on him getting one and being able to hand over the reins a bit, at least in terms of what he says in public. And he needs to work on the Ambien issue.

None of this means Tesla and SpaceX, which have deep benches of smart people, need to fail. None of it has much to do with those businesses at all. Fame takes a toll on a man.
For what it's worth I also read it as "I use the Chrome browser on Windows to get work done" and only slowly figured out the correct interpretation as the debugging adventure got crazier and crazier.
It feels to me like Elon is unable or not wanting to delegate. Working 120 hours a week is not productive.

His apologies tweet is indeed quite good. And shows that he is learning everyday:"His actions against me do not justify my actions against him, and for that I apologise".

I have used it and it works quite well, for certain types of work.

The 25 is just a suggestion, a starting point. There's no reason it can't be any other number.

But in the end I lost most of the ideas of the actual Pomodoro method (e.g. if you finish your work in the first five minutes of a Pomodoro, you still have to spend the twenty minutes left on improving what you did, no switching tasks within a Pomodoro -- I don't do that), what's left is just setting a timer and staying concentrated for that long. That works well for me.

What's hard is keeping the breaks short. I often start procrastinating during them and then only start the next Pomodoro much later.

There's a phone app / browser extension called "Forest" that's nice, you can set a timer and add a tree to a forest if you manage to stay off the phone / away from bad websites for that long, and add a dead tree to your forest if you failed.
> She wants to abolish Greek clientelism. Although every politician has promised this since taking office, none has succeeded. For centuries, the Greek administration was little more than an excuse for legal nepotism. Clientelism was the functional principle of society. Its roots reach into the Ottoman era, when clan leaders represented the Greeks to the Ottoman authorities, and they have continued to this day. Jobs in the administration served as a reward. Relationships were more important than skills for filling official positions.

That's Greece in a nutshell right there.
Skills were never relevant, and still aren't.
It's all about who you know, and what political leverage you have.
The results are there for all to see.
I left Greece 6 years ago, and unfortunately whenever I visit, nothing seems to change.
Nope, they are not actively enforcing this.

I went into the US twice this year, received "random" secondary screening both times, but my laptop never left my sight, and they've never asked me anything about my online activity.

> And I'd much rather settle Mars a few hundred years later if that in turn means that Mars will be settled by not-so-big-assholes than if it happened sooner.

I haven't seen a lot of evidence to suggest that Musk is an asshole. He deeply cares about what he is doing but he also seems to care about people. He is sometimes impulsive and perhaps volatile when he's running low on sleep. I have never heard of him subjecting others to something he would not subject onto himself.

Even if he is a complete asshole. If he advanced the advent of electric cars and space travel by a hundred years then I'd take it.
I guess it's back from the days when "internet suites" (a huge monolithic app with browser, email, IRC, etc) were still a thing.

+1 on hubspot. They also have nice APIs and their freemium package is very nice. API usage is part of the freemium package. We use it to send leads from our backend system.

I think their premise is that CRMs are a commodity and all the value is in upselling the type of features that they charge for. So making sure the baseline CRM is very good drives sales for that. Either way, it's a decent product.

I don't know how anyone could read this and not realise that's a direct search for a replacement CEO. With the best will in the world, Musk has a dozen people at Tesla who COULD pick up some of the slack, the issue isn't not having the right people, the issue is that he won't hand anything off. I don't see that changing.

Mission “Gaganyaan”: An Indian Will Be Sent to Space by 2022, Says PM
Conveying what types to enter is not an eno-specific problem, as a user without schema or code access you don't know which types a blank YAML/TOML file expects either!

Asides the absolutely valid meta solutions (e.g. in-file comments, clear key naming, documentation) there is an additional way this is approached in eno: If you use the type loaders provided by the API (say 'my_var = document.url('website')'), and properly expose errors to the user, the user will get a localized (!) error message in his language, like "'website' must be a valid url (e.g. https://eno-lang.org/)".

In the long run we can have community packages for any number of important locally unique types (loaders are just simple functions, so they can be easily authored), so at some point you likely don't have to write any one-off validation code, and neither the error messages or their localizations, you just pull it in as dependencies.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, really, from a broader perspective) you wouldn't be allowed to use the patent system to bar other people from asserting their rights in court.
I get what you're saying, but it seems you already have a place you want to go and are using the article to get there -- much like the other commenters.

While these things are important, to me the critical phrase in the article is this: ...It seems highly improbably that, as one of the most qualified people to diagnose this bug, I was the first to notice it...

My system hangs when typing text all of the time. Reading this article, this indicates to me that 1) It probably hangs for tens of millions of other people, and 2) Nobody either has the time or money to do anything about it.

That sucks. Additionally, it appears to be a situation that's only gotten worse over time (for whatever reason).

You can look for potential answers as you point out. More importantly, however, is the fact that nobody is aware of the scope of these problems. Millions of hours lost, the situation getting worse, and there's nobody hearing the users scream and nobody (directly) responsible for fixing things. In my mind, figure those things out and then we can start talking about specific patterns of behavior that might limit such problems in the future.

tl;dr Who's responsible for fixing this and how would they ever know it needs fixing? Gotta have that in place before anything else.

It's up to the person in the embassy to decide. Just because you're eligible for it, doesn't mean you'll get it.

You are right. They invest in various alternative projects (real state, construction... even Uber!) to protect the country economy from future oil decline.
Unfortunately, in remote greek villages, there is nothing to attract you. Old houses in bad condition, no infrastructure (no fast and kinda reliable internet connection, some don't even have 3G or 4G signal), nothing for entertainment other than the traditional coffee shop, almost no young people to socialize with, and most important, there is no willing from the government, local or centralized, to help improve living conditions there.

They are beautiful for a trip, but not to live forever.

As a matter of fact, Greece is not attractive for a young person to live and work here.

I hope there could be more tests on Brave browser, too, which aims to improve privacy. But its most lovely feature imo is opening any kind of tab (normal, private, private on Tor network) on the same window. I wonder if this causes some backdoors, though. I support so that it can become better.

> Definitely planning on backdooring devices and reading the messages pre-encryption and post-decryption.

They actually explicitly said that was the aim. From https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/consultations/Documents/expla... :

> This includes accessing communications at points where it is not encrypted.

I am an Australian, and I have been listening to the Minister for months tell everybody they were going to do something about encryption, but then categorically ruling out weakening crypto with back doors. I wondered what he was on about. Now I know I guess.

In case it's not obvious, they aren't just targeting phones. Anything with an app store or automatic updates is fair game. So this includes Microsoft updating Windows and Edge, Google updating Chrome and Chromebooks, and of course all of Apple's products. They don't have the expertise to write the software bugs to do this of course - but the bill allows for this by making provision for forcing the tech companies to provide whatever technical assistance is required (and encourages them to go further by providing voluntary assistance).

I see a few comments here that seem to think that encryption on (eg, Signal, PGP, encrypted hard disks, bimetrics) will save you. The entire point of these provisions is to get to the data when it is not decrypted, which it must be if you want to use it. Nothing will save you on these devices - once the bug is installed they are an open book. Possibly more open than you imagine, as they can turn on the microphone, camera, gps without you knowing.

Since there are commercial organisations they are targeting, I expect once they roll over they will do it in the most efficient way possible. Which is to say I expect it will be automated - something like the law enforcement agency will provide a MAC or some other unique identified and a few minutes later the bug is installed and sending data back.

What that means it is will be highly centralised, meaning you can compromise just a few people and/or pieces of equipment and you have the keys to the entire thing. A spy machine that can track everyone - it's an impossibly attractive target. I can't imagine state actors like Russia or China not to turning a gift like that from the democracies into something useful.

They are arguably sticking to the letter their promise not to back door encryption, but in reality they are legislating a centralised system that can see even banking password, everything you read, and everything you say, and everywhere you have been. It's pretty much the same outcome.

Way to go, guys.

> Locks are hard.

Yes, especially when the OS does nothing to help a backing-off contender acquire a resource that is greedily dropped and contended by another thread.

> I'll go into more details in part two

Great! In anticipation of that, I have a couple questions:

> but part of the problem would have reliably disappeared if I had been running a single-core CPU

Single-core or single-thread? Does the atomic instruction switch to the other HyperThread generally?

Do you see the same symptoms if you have a sufficient number of other unrelated CPU-intensive threads trying to run that the OS will want to deschedule the aggressive contender thread(s) from time to time?

The ways to deal with this that come to mind are the aggressive contender thread(s) sleeping from time to time, or yielding in hopes the decision about waking up the thread recovers some fairness lost by the decision about which lock waiter win. Perhaps one could just put the lock's cache line on as equal a NUMA footing as it can (a flush, for instance) so the aggressive contender has a chance to lose a race. However, having to reason about cache coherency protocols (differing from vendor to vendor and even same-vendor model to model) seems like a huge headache that anyone would want to avoid if possible. Is a fix described in the long crbug discussion?
I just stayed with Mate with Compiz (Ubuntu Mate) and my desktop is still as snappy as it was during Gnome 2 days.

Yeah - that seems crazy as surely you would have a very limited number of solutions given manufacturing constraints.

So then if a key gets stolen and you have to replace the system it could be literally impossible to do.
I'm not sure that's radically different from many other places. In Spain you have the common practice "enchufes" (plugged-in - somebody put in place by connections rather than ability), Italy too.

That should be market thing, really. Is the business sound or just cool? The difference matters.

> My concern is not for Musk's feelings, but for the way society goes about choosing, developing and critiquing the next generation of ambitious leaders, of whom we'll need plenty more if the world's increasingly complex problems are to be solved.

The question is also, if you build something large and ambitious, does it cancel out the bad things that you done in the process of building it? Do we want to celebrate large and ambitious in expense of ethical?

If another guy builds smaller company and resist pressure to be cool, but there is less price on employees, less lies to investors and public, the business side actually works, is that other guy really lesser?

> I should add that this applies whether we're talking about corporate leaders or political/community leaders.

Absolutely. Which is why it matters whether who we praise as role model is has ethical limits and considerations too. It matters very practically whether he/she is able/willing to foresee whether the dream business can work out - or whether he/she goes purely by own "I want it to be true" feelings.

>With the help of French officials, Gerovasili wants to lay a new foundation for the Greek administration.

I'm laughing at the irony of asking French official for administrative reforms. I mean each time in France the government tries an administrative reform we're either getting strikes and protests devolving in the usual riots or a reform that's either useless or make things worse. No reforms has succeeded to bring any positive change here, so it's pretty stupid to ask the French on how to reform, it's like asking a mole what colours look like.

No combination is needed, Ambien by itself causes such effects.
This discussion is ridiculous from an European standpoint.

In Germany all universities (with very few exceptions) are completely free and students have just to pay their cost of living (can apply for subsidies for that too).

There were many studies which showed that ANY fee is a deterrent for students from poor families.

In my opinion the current political development around the world shows that better education is absolutely required for humanity. Education should be financed via taxes (and taxes for high incomes should be increased accordingly to finance it).
I'm not sure liberalism has to be right-wing, but it's undeniable that blind application of economic liberalism somehow turns into removing worker protections and rising inequality.
