At this stage of a project, claims like that should be regarded as pure speculation. Elon Musk is not known for rigorously meeting deadlines. But even assuming that all the claims are accurate, what good does it do to build it more quickly if you have to kill >95% of the project value?
i don't find these comparable, at least not in Europe, drink driving cause very few deaths in car accidents statistics which are already drastically better than they have been and pretty much everyone adult drinks at least occasionally, I seriously doubt pretty much every adult in US shoot gun occasionally let alone own it

but I don't see problem with ban on alcohol even if it would save only few people killed by drunk drivers, because it would decrease cases of domestic violence and violence in general and most importantly for me we would get completely rid off those hordes of drunk Britons roaming our cities, also no drunks (homeless) in streets and cleaner public transport and streets would be nice, so it sounds like great trade off, not because of drunk drivers deaths which are really rare to ban alcohol from majority of adult population, but because of other factors,

so great idea and I say this as someone who was basically alcoholic for a year in my first job in China where we drink spirit (baiju) during lunch break and then after work, then after switching jobs basically stopped drinking completely and now back in Europe me and wife consume maybe 1-2 bottles of wine per month so it's not like we are abstainers that it would not affect me, although i think charging like 500-1000% tax on alcohol and raising agree limit to 30-40 years and strictly enforcing it would seem more realistic regarding voters than complete ban, after all those people with alcohol issues started usually very young
I'd love to give it a try but it looks like you only ship to the US. Are you planning to expand in the future?

I'd say the market is certainly there, and not just from Indians. In the UK curry is very widely eaten and many consider some dishes to be part of our national cuisine. While I've been abroad I've often struggled to find decent curry.

I feel like there was a lot of heavy bias toward the substrate in this write-up. I was hoping for more detail on the sequence of events, as operations cascade through the transistor architecture, to resolve input values to a result.

For example, if arithmetic operations are fairly objective, why is microcode needed in between the processor logic and the user-facing pinouts? Or is the microcode not adjustable firmware, but rather a fixed set of routing options to engage components appropriately for a given operation?
Whenever I read about high speed underground tunnel travel, I always feel a little weird because it just doesn't feel safe to me - even though I'm sure the people working on this are more than capable of running the numbers. I hope I'll be proven wrong because hyperloop transport is a super futuristic thing that would be cool to see. I wonder if folks back in the early 1800s felt the same way about trains?

This project sounds like it was designed to lose money for the sake of good publicity. I'm sure if it works out well for LA, we'll quickly see efforts to establish similar systems in other major cities with LA as the precedent before refocusing on profitability. If we're all riding in Boring Company trains to work 30 years from now, remember it started here! haha
That's not entirely true, since the majority of bandwidth is actually offloaded by ISPs with the Netflix Open Connect program. https://openconnect.netflix.com/en/. Sure, there'd be extra costs in distributing some of the more unused catalog to the machines, but realistically most people are going to be watching newer content en masse and not a large spread.
Conservatives are always embracing the free market. If there were a market for his ideas, he should have no trouble finding funding, advertising, etc.

If his ideas really are that popular, he should be able to create the conservative versions of Twitter, Facebook, etc. All of the FAANG companies started out competing against entrenched incumbents by offering a service they didn't. Why can't he do the same?
The linked article says nothing about the rifle in question being a bolt-action, Remington or other make, and nothing about how the rifle or ammunition was stored. Do you have some other source for your information or are you speculating?

This is not a game of chance. Hundreds of thousands of people have died. Let's base our principles based on what actually happens. I think it's ridiculous to give the U.S. a pass because the killing might stop in a few decades.
Why is the hello world example [0] unnecessarily allocating and freeing the uv_loop_t? When I see this kind of crap right out of the gate I immediately begin suspecting this is probably a pile of awful code written by a novice C programmer then documented and published as if it's the best thing since sliced bread.

Much of the value in making a struct (and hence its size) public and supplying a pointer to the initializer is the potential to embed or avoid heap allocation of the thing altogether, and here in an example which would benefit from both the simplified code in addition to demonstrating the advantage, it's completely missed.

Fixed form:

int main() {
uv_loop_t loop;

uv_loop_init(&loop);

printf("Now quitting.\n");
uv_run(&loop, UV_RUN_DEFAULT);

uv_loop_close(&loop);

return 0;
}

Did you keep reading?

> A different issue is whether defensive uses of guns, however numerous or rare they may be, are effective in preventing injury to the gun-wielding crime victim. Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was “used” by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies.

I agree that it's not a definitive link, which is part of why I said we need more data, but the it's not non-existent either. I wish police departments would track and report this statistic like they do murders and suicides.
The tricky problem with spice levels is there's a weird masculine/masochism vibe to it all, along with a highly subjective scale. So we end up with some way overestimating their tolerance, and some way underestimating. Both of these leave your customers with negative impressions, rendering them less likely to come back.

Really want to help your customers decide? Bring out a little bit of each sauce; and a bit of bread to try it with. Have them move from the non-spicy to the spicier -- let the server know which one they liked best. Not only is this an inexpensive course of action, it lets restaurants avoid disappointing experiences and allows for an inexpensive teaser at the start of a meal.

What cross-platform API would that be? ioctl(tty_fd, TIOCSWINSZ, &size); ? How does the user get the TTY FD? open("/dev/tty0")? Or should they implement SYSV compatibility and use "/dev/vt0"? Or perhaps follow FreeBSD, which has "/dev/ttyv0"?
Advertisements, perhaps?

I'm imagining something like in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Perhaps as you're traveling through the tunnel there are adverts playing along the walls as you go or perhaps even just the "windows" of the "skates".
That's subjective opinion. I much prefer the Windows way because I can either specify additional characters or keep hitting tab to until what I want comes up. "Display all 1026 possibilities? (y or n)" certainly isn't an improvement.

Not to mention of course that it tab completes things bash can't and doesn't, and all the other reasons your initial comment was wrong.
From my (admittedly little) understanding, part of the concern was that a user on part of the CPU could degrade performance for other users by sucking up proportionally more of the heat budget of the entire CPU, triggering throttling. Is this what was tested here?
Indeed. It's a complete joke and a big reason why "the rich get richer". I, for example, believe that artificial meat will be one of the biggest industries in the world once governments outlaw the cruel and barbaric practice of producing the "real thing". I also want to support the beginning of that industry. But is there any way for me to do that? No. The deals are done in private with a few very rich individuals. If those companies ever go public it's just a way to cash out because they are already turning a profit.
GET CORRECT PREDICTIONS
I was blessed to come across the contact a true professional Russian hacker who helped me make a lot of money from predicting different games correctly. Since he started working for me, I have earned more than $10,000. If you need any hacking services, I strongly advise you contact Vadim Albert on his Email- vadimwebhack@gmail.com or Whatsapp- +380683017209
He offers a long list of hacking services like;
-Website hack -Credit repair and score boost -Erasing criminal records without any traces -Phone cloning(Android and iPhone) -All social media accounts hack -University database hack and grade change -Retrieval of lost documents and tracing stolen fund -Sales of blank ATM cards and many other services, I really can't mention all here.
I like this from their FAQ: "Our goal is to defeat the snail in a race."
Mostly the clones feature. The most common use case: If you get a bug report, you can put the bug report, portions of the code related to the bug report (which could be spread over several source code files), any tests and test collateral related to it, all in one tree. When you make changes to the code in that tree, the corresponding source file will get touch.

Also, things like "Find all functions that contain some string and put them in a tree" is trivial, and used a lot.

These are out of the box. You can then script more advanced stuff in Python.

Even though it's all Python, it seems to handle heavy loads well. I once opened all the source code of my project at work (0.5M lines of code). It took a long time to load them the first time (initial conversion into nodes). But once I had them loaded, I could save it as a project and reopen easily. Then searching the whole code base for a string was pretty fast as well. I don't know how well Emacs can handle thousands of files...

The literate capability is really trivial as well. If you're coding with Leo, you likely will start using basic literate constructs. It's just natural.

But don't read too much into the comparison with org mode. I use org mode and Leo for very different things.
This is unrelated to the Hyperloop concept.
In fact, SV has begun to bring Chinese-style censorship to the US.

Fact 5:
The Chinese Government, which Google will collaborate with to operate in China, has upwards of two million Uighurs and Muslim minorities in what the UN calls a “massive internment camp.” Uighurs are also reported to be being detained upon re-entry into the country, with some then “dying in custody”

> I am not really sure why Google matters in China and how this matters to anyone. You enter someone's country and you ought to obey the local laws there. Just as Chinese companies entering U.S. need to respect U.S. laws.

That assumes a certain moral equivalency between local laws that just isn't the case. Would you say the same thing about the Nuremberg Laws?

I haven't tried it, but I believe it's easy/moderate to modify Leo to support other languages. It just supports Python out of the box.

Someone just has to come along and have a need for it.

Apparently one can use Leo like the Jupyter notebook, and indeed Leo can interface with Jupyter notebooks. I never tried that aspect of it, though.
There is a substantial performance difference in SSL handshake speed and site performance if you have a central server, vs multi-edge storage before you get to Cloudflare. The closer your edges are to Cloudflare's edges when the handshake happens the faster things go. The handshake delay is particularly slow internationally with Heroku running under CF, since you can't predict what heroku IP you are fetching from, unless you fix to one point and then latencies are still long at far away locations.
> 2,800 per game or event (5% of Stadium capacity)

Why not use bus-size vehicles? Assuming the same speed and following distance, moving from 16 to 80 passengers would increase system capacity by 5x, meaning four stations could serve 100% of Dodger Stadium capacity (vs 20).

This part of their plan never made sense to me.
The big idea here is to use small electric vehicles instead of a huge ass train pulling hundreds, thousands of people and speed up.
Super exciting, I can imagine using this instead of Kafka for more simple use cases. Wonder if they will add a full logging system so we can dump Kafka completely
A bashtardization:

esac
}

Dodger Stadium rarely has two events a day. I’m not sure they had a double header at all this year.

The number of passengers it’ll transport is like two sections in the stadium. This is a publicity stunt.
I believe the novelty here was that the patient was young.
Thanks. That is one of the funniest, most offbeat comments I have ever read. It was a snort-milk-out-your-nose kind of laugh.
Some valid relationships in the data model may not be representable in the sharding scheme. As a simple example, this is why many projection-based sharding schemes do not allow geometries in the polar regions. For any sufficiently rich analytical data model, you will eventually run into data or derived relationships that can't be properly represented in the system.

On a more practical level, non-homeomorphic representations also create a large number of additional edge cases that need to be handled to ensure correctness, many of which are obscure and non-obvious. In most implementations (including open source), developers tend to ignore many of these defects because they rarely affect simple mapping applications -- the reason they used a projection based representation in the first place is because it was easy. For complex, massive-scale geospatial analytics, customers have an uncanny ability to find these edge cases almost immediately.
They used to. And we did.

Cloning, or better: referencing nodes, is a feature I really miss in org-mode. Having both a list of tickets that I worked on and the list of current tickets, all having the same data, for example.
Illusion of security.

"We did something".
That's good advice, especially pools. Pools are sneakily dangerous and homeowners generally can't afford good security. (Not to mention the wastefulness of the expense of a private home pool.) Although some basic precautions (100% gate around pool) are underutilized but go a long way.
> The electric skates are based around the Tesla Model X platform and are propelled by multiple electric motors.

I guess they needed to demonstrate that they have a working tech in-house for this first iteration. I am sure that if it is successful, they can make plans to improve the skates' capacity but it makes sense that they make minimal commitments while Tesla doesn't have a larger model.
AWS and the like make a killing from the basic fact that most web devs don't know anything about the real costs of bandwidth (a blind spot, if you will).

HE.net is currently advertising 10gig ethernet for $1300/mo. Obviously there are various scaling issues associated with this but the basic premise still holds - AWS and other cloud services need major pressure to push their bandwidth prices down.
One question I couldn't see answered in the FAQ is what happens if one of the electric skates breaks down?

Given each of the skates is independently driven, the chance of failure would be magnified by N, for N skates within a tunnel. Seems like failures could be quite common and would affect the entire tunnel?
So this question is a little complicated currently, but I want you to know that I am planning on coming back to answer it, probably tomorrow morning
That doesn’t seem to fit with the project goal, it’s not Kafka-centric. It’s more like an alternative for Kafka Connect in that regard imo.
I regret having only one upvote to give you.

wow, i thought about making exactly this a while ago, so glad someone did it ! haven't been this excited in weeks.
I've wanted to use this for a few years, and finally dived in this year.

The good: If you can wrap your head around it and spend a fair amount of time learning it, it is quite useful, and the claims on the web site no longer seem crazy. It's not my primary editor, but I can see I'll use this a lot (primarily an Emacs guy).

The bad: Very poor documentation. A lot of the stuff on the site is outdated (so examples won't work). In my experience, people on the mailing list will help, so it makes up for the poor docs - but it is kind of off-putting. There's a ton of stuff it supports that are mentioned nowhere in the docs.

Some hints: Learn how settings work, and dive into all the settings - you can do this from within Leo. You'll learn a lot more about Leo's capabilities that way (as well as make small tweaks to the pretty ugly UI). Changing a setting doesn't go into effect immediately - for that I think you can do:

M-x reload-settings (honestly forgot the command).

Some settings, though, involve quitting and restarting.

Also, it's not really a great editor. Its power comes from nodes and scripting. So become very comfortable with nodes, and try to learn scripting immediately. I'm still a beginner at the latter, and sadly the docs just suck. So I slowly try, ask, learn more, make my own notes, etc.

If I keep it enough to become much more knowledgeable, I'll probably end up writing a proper guide on using it.

It very much is similar to Emacs in the sense that everything is a command/function. So you can reprogram it to do whatever you want.
Disney's streaming can afford to be less valuable. It's just additional revenue. Netflix's total revenue for 2017 was 11.69 Billion. Disney's revenue was $45 billion. Estimated are that once they combine with Fox, it will have revenue of close to $75 billion.

Another thing that makes Disney's content more compelling is that it's "evergreen" kids can watch the same shows over and over again. They will watch the first Toy Story movie just as excitedly as the last Pixar movie.

Here in India we have an app Hush[0] (not sure if it's widely used outside India).

They claimed they used to decide what company you worked for based on your "office network information". Anyway the quality of conversation was as bad as it gets even from a trolling and gossip forum standards. Now they have moved to collecting professional email address to verify and they still say it's "anonymous". The quality of conversation hasn't changed, definitely not for better. This kind of anonymity is one hack, or acquisition, or legal request away from going for a toss.

> QE bought a lot of long term junk-ish bonds (full of "AAA housing"), no?

No. QE bought T-bills in order to exchange them for increases in the banks' account balances at the Fed.

TARP funds bought junk-ish bonds back in 2008-2009, but all that did was make banks and financial institutions not go bankrupt from being forced to make subprime mortgages for several decades due to the federal government's policy to "encourage" home ownership.
I did on shrooms once. It had some nice patterns because my pupils were so dilated. Thankfully not blind.
To add to the arguments already made: You don't have to figure out serialization. In particular, writing out structs in C and C++ can break even between compiler versions if padding changes.

The baker comparison doesn't work. You don't see one guy or even three companies in Colorado controlling 99% of the messages going on cakes, globally, like you do with social media speech on Google/Facebook/Twitter platforms in California. Whether you like it or not, they are monopolies who are coordinating attacks on conservatives by stifling speech that is by and large perfectly legal in the US. Very concerning.
