is there anything amazon isn't going to "set it's sights on"? will they be building and selling Amazon Houses and providing Amazon Health Insurance soon?
It seems like most of the point of Jira Ops is to pull together disparate sources of information from different cloud systems (just based on what I see). Just makes me wonder about the server use case.
You could always parition them into chunks and upload to S3 as individual objects.

Why not?

Copyright is an unnatural right created in the name of encouraging creative output; if the person who owns the rights to control copying a work don’t enforce it, why should the rest of us do it for them?
In a thread about Tesle and Mercedes, I'm not sure I'm 100% qualified to speak to the luxury segment, but having traded a 2001 Hyundai Elantra in for a 2006 Mini Cooper some years ago (a pretty significant difference in fit and finish) I've done some thinking on this.

Luxury cars aren't build to last. The target market is generally not keeping their cars around for more than a few years. I keep the proverbial purse strings pretty tight for most things, but even for me, the additional cost of premium gas is largely unnoticeable. I do get frustrated by some engineering choices: On the Hyundai, if you had 13mm & 10mm sockets and a Phillips head screwdriver you could practically disassemble the entire car, but on the Mini I needed three different size Torx heads to take the stereo out - thanks BMW.

I largely avoid the dealer for maintenance, but after a few snafus at my local garage, I went to the dealer for a new radiator, and they gave me a brand new Mini as a loaner, and I lived 40 miles from the dealership - which in many ways feels more akin to an Apple store than a garage with a sales office. Every time they work on the car, no matter how small the job, it gets a complimentary car wash there.

Parts are marked up tremendously compared to my Hyundai, but again, the cars aren't necessarily built to last, so much as they're built for experience. This is exemplified in my Mini by "lifetime transmission fluid." There's no (easy) way to drain and refill the fluid in my automatic transmission (I'm in a city, I'm done with stick for now) because the fluid is "good for the lifetime of the car." At 12 years old and 150,000 miles, I've definitely exceeded the expected lifetime of the car.

But it's fun to drive. It's easy to park. It's surprisingly well equipped for something so old. The interior trim is nice, although particularly with a Mini, there are more than a few "form over function" UX issues. People express shock when I tell them how old the car is. The experience at the dealership is tailored for people who have more money than free time, and who trade for a new car after two or three years. No one ever expressed excitement about getting into my Hyundai, but I still get people telling me, as we get in the car, that they've "always wanted drive a Mini Cooper"

The other thing luxury vehicles offer that's less sexy but worth the premium: Advanced safety features. It used to be that you paid extra money for things like chrome and leather interior. Nowadays, what sets luxury vehicles apart are the cutting edge tech and safety features.

All that being said, my next vehicle is probably going to be a Ford Transit Connect. Hard swing back toward utility and serviceability. I'm going to miss the Mini though, warts and all.
How Two Designers Created Airbnb–and Turned It into a $30B Company
I was a bit annoyed that hardware routing is not automatically enabled for setups that can use it. It is not hard, but you have to stumble upon the fact that that setting exists (only on the command line).
That dealer avoidance also means that fixing a Tesla (regardless of warranty) might commonly become horror story [0]. And this drives insurance costs through the roof [1]. Having a network that can provide proper support might be more important than being able to make a sale when the product is shiny and new.

Why electric and not hydrogen?
OK - well, from my 4+ yrs of experience creating and maintaining a big Go project, take it from me that it's really a very pleasant and productive language. I am branching out and learning Rust as an intellectual exercise, but can't help but think about how obtuse its syntax is compared to Go. I will continue to choose Go in the future just because it's so quick to work with (while also providing solid safety and refactoring support). The `interface{}` thing rarely comes up as a problem.
If the Tesla pickup makes it to market, I imagine you could build something pretty nice on the back.
In the USA, parents don't typically arrange an adult daughter's marriage without asking her what she thinks either. (She also was living with extended family, a thing Americans tend to not do either. In America, we default to the nuclear family. When it began with saying she was cooking for 8 people, I assumed she had many children. Not so.)

Also, she liked to cook and if you are a woman and have a career, doing things like cooking is a way to bond with family. If you hire a cook, a maid and a nanny, you spend vastly less time with your children.

I was a full time mom for years. I can't imagine having kids and then just hiring other people to do everything for them. If you want nothing to do with your kids, I feel like you shouldn't intentionally have kids. (Though, unlike some people, I realize that not all children are planned. So sometimes people are just coping as best they can with what life handed them.)
How do they make the money to keep the site up than. Server cost is like 5% of the expenses. Journalist salaries, writer salary all that full time salary, where do you get that from. No other business model exists.
Yes, it can: https://github.com/grahamedgecombe/icicle
Wall Street historically has preferred manufacturers to concentrate on R&D and manufacturing.

Manufacturers with large offline presence would have inflated staff numbers, higher labor costs, massive real estate presence and are harder to operate in case of a downturn.

Having some well-resourced locals willing to take up those risks seemed like a win-win at the time.
I think the particular hypothesis in the following has been rejected, but the article introduces some of the interesting variations in photosynthesis and hints at different evolutionary pressures behind their emergence. To the point about the efficiency of chlorophyll-based photosynthesis,

Chlorophyll, the main photosynthetic pigment of plants,
absorbs mainly blue and red wavelengths from the Sun and
reflects green ones, and it is this reflected light that
gives plants their leafy color. This fact puzzles some
biologists because the sun transmits most of its energy in
the green part of the visible spectrum.

> I do stand by my belief that non-profits are not always necessarily beneficial for society

That's a fairly non-controversial claim (even regarding specifically 501c3 orgs), but something being actually “beneficial to society” is not the same thing as it being “meant to promote some greater social cause.”
Is the $20,000 i3 an EV or a hybrid? If the former, I wouldn't compare it to a Tesla.
It is also a bit stereotypical to think that an engineer woman should not be interested in cooking a meal for her family or doing chores at home. In the podcast I pointed to above - Dakshayani mentions her love for cooking and interestingly compares cooking to coding.
The point here is that they are out-lobbying Ford and GM. The car companies want to sell direct to consumer, and the dealers have managed to maintain their role as government-mandated middlemen despite that.
And if any exists, not enough people are ready to commit to it to make it a worthwhile investment.
> The big issue with Mozilla, is that they are dependent on outside revenue

While this is technically true it is kind of misleading to single Mozilla out as depending on a certain large sponsor given who owns Chrome (and who owns Edge, IE and possibly less problematic, Safari).
People are talking about the big manufacturers making competitors to the Model S/X/3, but who is a making the core component (i.e the battery)?

Tesla is the only one doing both ATM. Tesla will happily make batteries for other big manufacturers and will succeed as long a electric car uptake is standardized.
That is crazy. Even systems like ContentID are full of flaws.
Tesla has a history of shipping high-margin cars for as long as they can before shipping the base model. So no, no one should expect those cars to be rolling off the line by then.
Shouldn't your static assets be cached in the browser for pages 2 and 3, making your subsequent pages load a bit faster than the first?
How I hacked Gitcoin's tipping mechanism
just the opposite - it's highlighting the sexism she has to face, where she is expected to put in a full day's work and also do housework, including cooking for eight people.
I believe that will be a reality for electric cars regardless of self driving features. Its the essential next step is allocating vehicle costs correctly. Right now gas taxes take care of some of the allocation, but that obviously wont work in the future.
swapping new rotors and pads onto porsche/bmw/mb/volvo, etc is trivially easy. you need a basic set of tools(with the special one ~100 bucks) to compress the calipers and its about an hour and a half to do all 4 corners. Parts costs vary of course, but you can cut the overall cost basically in half doing it yourself

edit to add....tires are def a thing :)
> Saying it caused "a fatality" is being disingenuous.

It is accurate.

They pushed out an update that changed how AutoPilot behaved, someone had AutoPilot enabled, AutoPilot accelerated straight into a concrete barrier, and the occupant died.

Here is the NTSB's initial report on the incident:

https://www.ntsb.gov/news/press-releases/Pages/nr20180607.as...

> It's along the same false pretense as "we shouldn't use self driving cars at all, if they lead to even one fatality".

I didn't say anything remotely like that. I stated what had already occurred. Trying to put those words in my mouth doesn't seem like you're responding in good faith.
You can require all footpaths to be mapped, and make those maps publicly accessible (for free), without having to make it illegal to sell a footpath map.

That means the public can find all the footpaths, but if someone creates an innovative map, or a useful compendium they can still sell that.
How does one go about developing on an FPGA (i'm an absolute noob familiar only with Arduinos and ESPs)

Are there any go-to IDEs that everyone uses? Resources/tutorials towards a `blinkenlights 101` project that are especially useful?

Edit: thank you all for the very excellent answers! I'm going to lose so much productivity over this!
Where you think most content is, or where most content actually is, should have nothing to do with laws targeting all content. To say that there isn't a vibrant free web and counter with what is the majority makes me think you meant to say that a vibrant free web isn't the majority instead of completely, 100% non-existent. Lots of us have sites and stuff out here, and once again the EU is only looking at one big goose to make laws, albeit well intentioned, that will affect the rest of us here in the gander. Always more laws, always more rules, always unintended consequences and lax enforcement; the wise just ignore these governments crying wolf again.

Ironic, considering the issues Tesla has had with uncommanded door issues...
Do you mean panasonic
But we're still idealistic because at the end of the day, we're not only responsible of what we do with technology ourselves, but when we create things we're always enabling others to use them; be it by giving them away freely, and maybe a bit more critically when selling.

There was a case once where a software project amended the GNU GPL with a no military use clause... On that note, you can never tell exactly who your customers are, and you shouldn't fit technology with a built-in kill switch or have it call home, which is just the worst of all options, as seen with several unpopular videogame companies.
In my experience, having dated legit Indian women, housemaids are extremely common. Even low income families, had someone of even lower income working for them. Having food cooked for you by someone else is very much a norm for a lot of Indians.
The S is a pretty good car but I can still imagine Mercedes competing with it based on their luxury heritage. The 3 on the other hand is an astonishingly good car at a different price point and Mercedes will have great difficulty competing with advantage against it.

Meh until proven otherwise.

The Impact of Chief Diversity Officers on Diverse Faculty Hiring
It's sold as Vauxhall in the UK and Australia. Terrible brand here in the UK.
Don't people still have data caps?
Also don't forget that frameworks like Phoenix, or alternatively aggressive optimization in other ways, can be significantly faster at that 'first load' than you describe.
All of those are independent of how the car is powered.
Do you have any documentation on using the onboard packet accelerator with OpenBSD? I thought it was just binary linux blobs.
Is any mentioning of the sex of a person subtly sexist?
I wonder why more folks don’t use Lisp, or Smalltalk for that matter, for back end development.
What's probably scary about the Taycan is it's targeting the profitable segment of Tesla's lineup. Tesla's strategy of selling more expensive cars to fund R&D for cheaper cars completely falls apart if they can't sell the more expensive cars.

Interestingly, Porsche's strategy is almost opposite of Tesla's where they sell cheaper volume cars (Macan, Cayenne, Panamera) to fund R&D for their expensive cars (GT2, GT3, 918).
If a corporate Tesla-owned service center has an issue getting the part, why would a third-party-owned dealership fare better?

NoRedInk | Director of Engineering, Site Reliability Engineers, Engineering Managers | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE Pacific Time (PST) to Central European Time (CET)

We’re an ed-tech company on a mission to help all students become strong writers! Our team may be small, but NoRedInk is used by 1 in 2 school districts in the US, and students have answered over 5 billion questions on our platform.

We’re a group of friendly people who listen to and learn from each other. We discuss past mistakes openly so we can adapt our processes to the challenges that come with progress. Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones.

Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. Our back-end is primarily Ruby on Rails, although we are working to split off smaller services as we scale to keep up with our traffic. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog! [2]

In addition to spending work hours open-sourcing useful libraries we develop [3], we also invest financially in open source. We hired the creator of Elm, Evan Czaplicki, to develop Elm full time. [4] Evan discusses his plans for the language with the team every week, periodically pairs with other engineers on Elm, and cracks up members of the sales team with his lunchtime jokes.

We use Amazon AWS for our infrastructure and automate all of our deployments using Chef and OpsWorks. We write a lot of tests and use Jenkins for continuous integration. Our process for new features begins with our product team and in-house visual designer, continues with a GitHub pull request from a feature branch into master, and ends with our in-house QA specialist trying to break it before it reaches production.

We’re looking for engineers who want to work on a mission that makes a difference and who are the type of collaborators that value kindness and open-mindedness, over convincing the group they’re right.

For our Director of Engineering role, we're seeking an experienced engineering leader who’s operated and scaled a high-performing team, cares about tackling complex technical challenges, and maintains a high bar for talent and engineering practices.

You can learn more about what to expect through blog posts about our interview process [5] and on-boarding experience [6].

This has been my experience as well.

After seeing startup CEOs be swept aside for growth or scaling CEOs by their VC's, I decided I wanted to build lasting and transferable skills alongside the problem solving.

In hindsight there was little harm spending my twenties gathering 20 years of experience in 10 years. This is less about age, than how one levels up.

Putting in time helped understand problems at a greater breadth, depth and uncover inter-disciplinary connections, instead of the spitball ideation process.

After 10 years (around age), having 20 years of experience on average puts you ahead of many of your contemporaries, leaving you in a better position to recognize opportunities, and areas needing improvement. If this is you, let's chat :)
"On board quality - I paid a High School/College kid in Sri Lanka to do the board; I will give him your feedback." the most beautiful thing i'll read today.
I would beg to differ. I've owned owned a total of 4 higher end and one entry level Mercedes between me and my closer family members. Litterally for the first couple years the only maintnence is the general stuff like oil, filters and occasionally the breaking pads. And we all drive a significant mileage per year over various terrains. The actual cost of running it is lower for premium cars than it is for others. Disclaimer though after about 6-7 years of heavier use repairs do start comming up and they can be costly but that is to be expected if you want to run for another half decade or so. The only difference between the more expensive models is that once you hit this period the prices are proportionately higher. Though this excludes sports and ultra premium cars.

They are so nicely tuned and set up to last for a long time. Chains instead of rubber, higher quality parts and well tested engines really do work miracles.
And I expect to see very similar paterns for electric cars as they are all pretty much premium segment anyways. We just need a bit more time for the TCO to ve a good metric.

Sources: owned and driven a lot of cars from the very low end to the very high end with a lot of in between.
Apparently even good universities like UT Austin don't care about labs anymore. They offer an online grad degree in Mechanical Engineering with no lab work! Imagine calling yourself a mechanical engineer without having set a foot in the lab.

Look at this very site. People link here a lot, quote here a lot, and sometimes say controversial things here.

If every submission had to be pre-moderated, and royalty paid for every substantial quotation, this site would be very different, and definitely less vibrant and free.
Swapping bits and distributing hashes on the decentralized web
Do EVs really go through more tires due to torque? My impression was that the difference in torque was more than balanced out by the fact that EVs tend to brake more smoothly (due to regenerative braking).
My experience is only anecdotal, but I think most city centers I've spent much time in (Austin, Houston, Tokyo) haven't had many families around during the work week either. If you go to fisherman's wharf, you'll find it crawling with families (undeniably mostly tourists), and most weekends you'll find Union Square swarmed as well.
Dynamics are definitely changing in India, now more women finish school & college and are becoming contributors in household income. This although is happening in major cities and metros but in rural area women are still not able to receive good education, along with this there are also several cultural challenges which are involved as well. But stories like this definitely share a hope and optimism.
