It took me a few years (University?) to understand better the concepts of job creation (macroeconomics) and of zero-sum (game theory). I assume many readers (maybe even the author) of the article will not have an understanding of these notions either and therefore will not arrive at your conclusions.

Instead of "hating", maybe we could acknowledge the problem and try to come up with a solution? Not that I'm able to come up with a good one.

A bit off topic, but when I see adults who lack a certain concept, I take note of teaching my kids about that concept. For instance, I want to teach my kids the concept of "velocity of money" by adopting an internal currency (e.g., stuffed toys), where you can "spend" by asking a favor, and "earn" by doing a favor. Over time, my wife and I might also increase the pool of "money" whenever someone does something especially nice. No blockchain required ;-)
Could see it clearly on 5k 27" monitor. That's something alive, not foliage. Could have been a small animal but it's hard to gauge the scale.

TFA discusses a natural experiment with water pipes. Cities near lead production centers tend to have lead pipes, so they compared cities with that characteristic and acidic water (which leaches lead into the water) and such cities without acidic water. The study found a strong effect.
Yes both on touchscreen headlight is automatic same with wipers thought.there are also keybindings to the multi way scroll wheels on the steering wheel. It also modify bindings based on last action.if you manually had to enable wipers it switches the scroll wheels to activate it.
If you write some software for a very popular Web site, no one else need know you were 60 years old, in a wheelchair, fired from IBM, and wearing sandals, sweat pants, and a Grateful Dead T-shirt. What matters is the Web site, the design, the code, pleasing users, running ads, getting revenue.
right.

>Renovate Bot noticed that there was a new version of codeintellify so it helpfully created a pull request to update our main repository to codeintellify 3.6.0.

while this sounds really cool and I'll check it out later, automatically updating your code just because a dependency has a new version seems like a REALLY bad idea.
What I've done is deleted a majority of the amount of content I had on FB previously. I went back and deleted most of the content I had posted, and kept only a handful of posts. I still use FB for some groups that are only on FB and use Messenger for contacting some friends, so I can't really delete the account completely. But I've tried to clean out my account as much as possible.

I plan to do the same with Twitter as well. If anyone has links to good tools that can enable me to delete old Twitter content, please share!
I’m not sure what to take away from posts like this. On the one hand, I have only a few hundred friends (and practically no followers) that I would be walking away from. On the other hand, I don’t have a well-read blog and twitter following to fall back on.

So is it harder or easier for a nobody like me to quit Facebook? And is the main point of this post to migrate FB followers to Twitter followers?
Uh, no? Not sure how you thought that my mention of "parts of the US" might mean federal.
What do you do if you don’t have a Tesla? They’re not exactly a mass produced value car. And that’s what you need for real penetration to the car market.
Devonthink is the most robust, mature and versatile organizational tool in existence.

Nothing comes close anywhere.
That was bidded by private companies and financed by private consortium. My understanding is that ongoing revenue will break it even. Initial install was near zero margin.
Sorry, what's the purpose of this comment? Tesla has < 1% market share today, so it's hard to imagine why there would be a large number of superchargers today relative to gas stations.
The fix for this problem is not a whole new philosophy of version selection, it's being more sensible in implementing the current one.

Do any of Yarn, Bundler, or Cargo have this behaviour?
Excellent point!

California just passed a bill that won't allow high school or middle school to start earlier than 8:30am because there is reams of research showing that early starts cause worse learning and development outcomes.

Lots of people are up in arms because they need their kids' schedule to fit around their work schedule so they can drive them everywhere.

Somehow it's just too hard for them to envision setting things up so the kids are safe with a greater level of autonomy and can maybe get themselves to school.
I think it's that everyone can see the odds of something happened that are indicated by the bettors in the market, and that's valuable information that can be considered the absolute best prediction that can be made based on available evidence.

I was watching the betting markets on the night of the 2016 presidential election. As I seem to recall, at the start of the night when people were still basically confident Hillary would win, I was watching electionbettingodds.com and it showed a ~30% chance of a Trump win, so I wasn't so sure. And of course it moved smoothly to nearly 100% as more information emerged and was incorporated into the markets. A good example of how betting markets are obviously not omniscient (or else they would have had 100% for trump), but a lot better than listening to your friends or even the top pundits.
Totally agree. I just ordered an e-bike a few days ago because a lightweight, flexible vehicle that can travel with ease in a bike lane or on a sidewalk is much more appealing to me than investing in another car and everything that comes along with it (insurance, registration, inspections, etc.).
They are not crash dumps only. It includes images along with data of area where images where taken. It's not gbs thought. They only ask the car to upload relevant needed data. Example I want you to send pictures Everytime you get into a construction zone.
What does market share matter when you've captured the part of the market where all the significant margins are?
Yes, frightening!

Almost enough to put me off Mastodon.

Edit: Seriously, just why the bloody hell would I participate in some system where a bunch of trolls could get my account deleted? I seriously doubt that could happen here, for example, because moderators base decisions on values, rather than expediency. Another alternative, which I actually prefer, is for absolutely no third-party moderation, but lots of tools for users to efficiently control what they see.
That's quite useful information. Thank you.
I did lose some money,yes, but it was not nearly enough to mean I had to finance the trip on credit.

Also book sales are not the reason, the reason is that I cut down on expenses. I camped for free for months and months in West Africa, spending as little as $500/mo for absolutely everything for many months in a row.
If I were at Apple building it, I wouldn't have it run any MacOS apps, just iOS apps. There are lots of articles about how that would happen, see[1] as an example.

Which makes the original parent and dang's post even better.
No. Tesla does not use Nvidia software libraries afaik. They do license the socs and gpus on a board designed by tesla. Based on the drive px1 reference design. Being changed in 6-8 months to a custom made asic made specifically for self driving by Tesla.

Seconded. I have databases for household scans of bills, etc.; one for computer science stuff; one for my work; and so on.
I didn't. That's why I asked if there was in order to clairfy any points I might of misunderstood. Unfortunately, the biggest transportation changes are done through a federal level particularly through the NHSTA. For instance, the highways system wash deemed foolish by many but we manage to make it a reality through the cooperation in a federal and state level.

I forget whether it was Twitter or Instagram but one of them, maybe both, make it incredibly difficult to bleach or eject from the platform.

I hardly ever login to Gmail, as I pull emails over imap. But I switched long time ago because I am always excited to use the new UI.
Thank you for taking the time to comment.

My main goal here is to simplify developer experience without compromising on performance, flexibility etc. Storing all state and props calculations outside of views (i.e. redux) allows for nice separation of concerns, and focus separately on the view development/maintenance and the state/props logic - at least that's the idea. I think if we wrap this reactml project in an NPM package, then developers should be able to prototype quickly using only a YML file and maybe a few javascript functions - without setting up boilerplate projects, redux setup, setting up component libraries etc.

The model I've used in the reactml project still allows for custom components to be used in the view specification (using YML) so any complex components can still have their own state management, so use of "redux for all state" isn't quite accurate, it only applies to the components used in the YML spec.

Does anyone know of any similar projects? If there's something similar already available, I'd rather just use it...
Google has a simulation for their cars that does this. Nvidia has a hw suit for this purpose too and for testing autopilot hardware by feeding it data from another rack/server

Maybe I’m naive, but I’ve thought the idea of “groups” on Twitter would improve things. You join groups you like, you set your account to open or group only or private and you control who can interact with you. You could join global groups or very narrow groups, as you saw fit and created your own if none fit you.

Obviously the big drawback would be plunging “engagemrnt” and slower growth. I think it would be healthier. If you’re a wallflower, you find your groups, if you want to spout off, you join those groups... if you want miss manners, you join hers, if you want sailors, you join theirs.
Yeah, agreed.

If I were looking for a regular job, I would probably filter employers based on whether they use TypeScript or not at this point (assuming it was some JavaScript-adjacent project). I'm not sure if there's really a good way of doing this sort of filtering.
We’re going through a similar process at my company - how do we refactor the decade old startup-style JS without 1) spending a year rewriting everything from scratch generating little business value and potentially introducing regressions in the process 2) continuing to build stuff on that shaky house of cards. It looks like the solution we’ve kind of settled on has also been TypeScript. At this point it’s probably sub-5% of our prod code that’s TS source, and it’s daunting given how much we have to change and how many years it will take at our current pace, but it is the middle ground moderate way and probably the right way to approach things like this.

Tesla is not a company that wanted to nor needed to be cash flow positive until now. They raised cheap capital and applied it to grow their business faster than bootstrapping would have allowed.

Which is why the point about margins is so crucial. No one anticipated such great margins on an electric car. The tear down analysis demonstrates that the $35k standard-range Model 3 is not a unicorn, but will be profitable to make and sell once the production lines have any slack at all at the higher price points.
TypeScript was released in 2012, I wouldn't call a 4 year old tool an early release. And if you were already using Webpack picking it up was as easy as adding a loader.

IMO, using such early proposals isn't worth the risk in production. Especially for proposals that are so young that they haven't even settled on a clear spec as to its behavior, like the pipeline operator.
I have trouble seeing how decentralized services like Mastodon really improve on Twitter.

With regards to harassment, Twitter suffers from the moderator-to-user ratio pointed out in the article but ultimately decentralization must deal with whack-a-mole on bad faith instances (plus all the other issues described).

I fear that this sort of system also has the potential to drive people even further in to social echo chambers where terrible ideas and behaviors can flourish in harmful ways.

Modern design is not better. It is more accessible, less offensive and with no creativity or personality.
Ah. That kind of fake "reply" really wrecks conversation -- you left me wondering if you had misunderstood, when instead you were just grinding your axe.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for the future. What is the markup flavor being used by HN?
I don't think his talking about the physical button and the model 3 one uses a custom made one with a different layout. Their old one at one point was a Mercedes one they later switches to another design don't remember from which OEM.
Ask HN: API for categorized lists of public companies?
I'm looking for an API for categorized lists of public companies. Some of the examples of the lists are: IPOs 2016, Tech, Oil etc. If there's no existing API then any suggestions or ideas to automate the process are welcome.
I totally didn't say this in my post, so perhaps it sounds a little wonky when I put it like that. Apparently, the only growth that the finance analysts care about is growth in market share. Apple has always eschewed market share in favor of profit share. The markets don't really seem to care about that.

Apple destroys almost every other company on the planet in profitability. Amazon owns the market share for online sales and makes almost zero profit. Somehow that gets a better P/E for Amazon than it does Apple.

Anyway, short version, I think people use the word growth in very specifically different ways.
> In mastodon.cloud’s case, it appears the moderator got 60 reports overnight, which was so much trouble that they decided to evict Wil Wheaton from the instance rather than deal with the deluge.

In my opinion, what's missing are tools for instance operators to ignore problematic accounts. Unless there's huge churn, 60 reports per day would quickly become just a few. And this would also help hugely with the spam issue. And instance operators could share blocklists, just as for email spam.

Given all I've read so far about Mastodon, the only viable solution seems to be running single-user instances. That way, all blocking can only be user-specific. Instance operators can't (obviously) be forced to delete users' accounts. And if that's currently too technical for most users, then it needs to be streamlined and simplified.

Edit: spelling
US has been stable a long time (at least 6 quarters). International is still growing fast.
Cool! Could this be used to make on-disk DataFrames that store arbitrary Julia types? Serializing/deserializing such dataframes with JLD has given me lots of trouble (both too slow and also sometimes the files get corrupted in ways that can't be debugged.)
Nice! Didn't realize this was a thing. I suspect they could make even more aggressive optimizations if they made a TS version.
There's a JS version of the Closure compiler [0].

And the version shipped on NPM [1] has options for either native, Java, or JS.

Well, it is frightening.
It's not mandatory to buy the self driving car. They want it on the car regardless of the customer buys it or not. They have other uses for the hardware.
I had completely forgotten about that. Good point.

Do you happen to know how Braeburn compares to other big name funds?
> There’s an old car industry joke that you can see the organization chart of a car company in the dashboard, and also see that the steering wheel team hates the gear stick team.

So, Conway's Law then! Can anyone tell us more about this car industry adage?
I love typescript as a JavaScript developer, but having used go for personal projects, I find the type system complex (maybe necessarily so). Having said that, I cannot thank TS enough for how it’s made life easier when working on and refactoring large codebases.
Programs should be written in languages that model them almost perfectly. Languages that are too powerful or too weak for the application means the programmer will make modeling mistakes and either leak abstractions or obscure them.
I don't think the problem is federation. The problem is media where participants have nothing at stake, so that abusers can't be made to pay the costs of their abuse. Changing this isn't incompatible with anonymity - for example you could require anonymous participants to post bonds in a cryptocurrency. But e-mail spam, for example, would never have been a problem if the recipient of an e-mail could push a button and destroy $1 of the sender's money. Getting the incentives right for a social network is undoubtedly harder, but you can't even start until people have something to lose.
Sounds similar to what happened just recently at the Carnegie Library in Pittsburgh's rare books collection: http://www.post-gazette.com/news/crime-courts/2018/07/20/Two...
The other solar providers are usually done the traditional car way. You find some local company (akin to a car dealership) to install your panels, and they'll tell you how much it costs.

EnergySage does give you some insight to the price before you buy though.

Basically, you don't buy the battery from Pika energy, you buy it from a local dealer.
Anyone knows a book to learn social interaction? I am very awkward and despise office parties. I want to know reasonable modern etiquettes that can improve my interactions.
So it’s disingenuous to claim “similar performance” by arbitrarily removing metrics from the mix.
Thanks. Great paper.
Samba gave me flashback to last week where I had an external drive on my Fedora workstation which I wanted to share with my network... external drive was NTFS. Many hours later, and an setenforce 0 it showed up, but no permanent solution.

That's the usability of common things in everything not major desktop/user OS, and always has been. OTOH, when I'm programming, I would NEVER give up the comfort of GNU stuff. It's just so convenient. Even the editors. Yes, VS Code is great, but oh man - in vim I have a persistent undo with branching, among many many other things.

It's actually amazing how, on the one hand, you have this advanced system for complicated stuff geared towards awesome usability and on the other hand it trips over itself on mundane things which keep it away from the year of Linux (GNU more like it) on desktop.
Funny to see Fiverr people using EDA tools that can cost $100k. The below link shows numerous people selling antenna design services with CST Microwave Studio. I use this at work, and would need to charge 1000x that to recoup the cost of the software.

>I keep hearing people say things like "the Go team are changing their position" but I think what a lot of people missed is that the Go team were never against implementing generics in version 2. Quite the opposite in fact as they actually often said it was a consideration for Go v2.

They said that occasionally, but always dismissing any kind of proposal that wasn't theirs, including perfectly fine existing paradigms from other languages, and always giving the impression to many people that they were just paying lip service to the idea that they are OK with eventually adding Generics, or stalling for time.

The fact that it took 10 years for this to finally come as a concrete suggestion (and not even with a final delivery date or official roadmap yet), means that they were indeed stalling for time.

>Sometimes it feels like those who are the loudest critics of Go aren't even Go developers and instead just like to shout about how amazing their preferences are because it does xyz differently.

This tired argument has been said again and again. Many seasoned go developers have spoken in favor of generics over the years. And this features was #1 in Go's own developers poll year after year.

Besides, it's not like non-users of a language are automatically wrong. If anything, they could be the ones seeing its faults more objectively (e.g. people calling out Java world's obsession with overusing patterns).
We can't even handle parking meters out here, though.
I had come across johnnydecimal at one point but had a hard time resonating with the idea of having numerical enumerations since I already use tools to help navigate folder hierarchies (e.g. alfred, quicksilver, etc.).

Do you still find value in the enumeration aspect? Is this something where there's more value in it within collaborative environments?
All major changes are always far off in the future until they suddenly aren't. It's kind of amazing how often we keep being surprised by this.
didn't let you make a selfie while looking at the screen. (no front-facing camera)

To be fair no smartphone did in the first couple years.

didn't let you copy/paste text (for the first 2 years of iPhone)

I got the iphone right after this shipped just by chance, and I couldn't understand how anyone lived without it. Also the had just added the "task switcher" carousel and the precursor to the control center, both features I used heavily and was surprised to learn didn't exist just a few months prior.
So... I love Typescript, but...

"Because TypeScript already mostly works — that's part of the reason to adopt it"... c'mon
> So they were at least scared of the idea of a “browser OS” in the abstract.

Well you literally had Mozilla telling everyone they could that the browser is going to be the OS in that era. Microsoft was certainly paying attention.
For me, Yes.
> Wouldn't surprise me to find out that Office had their own browser rendering engine that didn't rely on anything in IE.

Outlook renders HTML for email but doesn't use IE.

This, of course, was a very smart decision even though Outlook's rendering of HTML is terrible.
What he's paraphrasing is "I have had a revelation about Facebook being bad, I'm better without it and you will be too. Rather than sharing this on Facebook where I'll reach hundreds of thousands of people that are using Facebook and might be helped, I'm sharing it on my blog where few will see it."
'echo chamber' should be nominated for some sort of worst-buzzword of the century award.

There's nothing wrong with people organising and debating issues among like minded peers. The dysfunction of twitter isn't rooted in 'echo chambers', but in the lack of grouping, which results in a Hobbesian war of all against all.

The Facebook marketing idea of a global digital village without borders is a nice vision for a corporate brochure, but no way to actually organise human communities.

Alex Pentland did interesting work on social networks and ironically enough it was precisely hyper-permissive and connected networks that produced bad outcomes and echoing because the opportunity to copy and descend into permanent agitation is largest in systems that have no barriers or idiosyncrasies. A barrier free system is a group-thinking sytem by design because it works too fast

It's easy to see why this is profitable for the people who run the platforms, but it is of questionable social value.
