Stainless steel cable is used in the fixed rigging (mast stays) of yachts precisely because of it's anti-rusting properties. Unfortunately the stainless still has to be completely replaced every 5-10 years because it weakens to the point you can't insure the yacht anymore.

Stainless has a very different failure mode to normal steel where a tiny nick in the surface of the stainless under tension forms a crack and corrosion occurs in the very bottom of the crack making it propagate deeper into the stainless until it fails while still looking shiny on the outside.
>I feel manipulated.

Is it that easy?
Is it the feeling of unexplainable unbridled pleasure ?

I am reluctant to call it similar to an orgasm , because of the sexual connotations. While my body does not respond in a way similar to an orgasm, the "dopamine rush" (I am being liberal with the term) I get when listening to certain music is very similar.

I often have raised hair, tears in my eyes and a general lightheadedness and the biggest grin after such a moment.

First time I put it that way. Hoping it doesn't sound too creepy.
The problem isn't this study, it's the reporting. We were initially taught that science IS truth, so every new study that was irresponsibly disseminated was believed. Now we've become so jaded by all these studies that we believe none of them (unless it follows our own prejudices). And unfortunately the news is built on trying to make things interesting - reporting the current scientific consensus just isn't news worthy. "This just in: Earth still flat." is much less interesting than "Watch this Californian kook launch himself into Space to prove the Earth is flat." or "Drinking straws - are they inseminating dolphins with reptilian DNA?"
To be fair, if a CEO of a startup is sitting in her office 5 days a week, she's not doing her job properly. She should be out there finding funding or finding customers.
your "clipboard commands" feature is pretty cool. have you considered implementing a plugin API for developing new commands?

your UX on this could use some work, however. i don't want the clipboard window to always be present, and i want "paste from history" to be a process similar to the normal "paste" process.
Can you cite one source that indicates that Model 3 owners are somehow dissatisfied? All reviews (by the general public and by journalists) say the car performance, quality and experience is excellent and above Mercedes / BMW's.

Have you driven one?
Not sure if that is better or worse for the CEO of a public company with a market cap well into the billions. Regardless it doesn’t inspire confidence in his leadership.
Then they all get fired, or progressively fired and replaced with non-unions.Not-working is not much of a leverage as much as non-selling is not a leverage for a company.
I think this does start to show that non tech people are starting to hear about AI quite a bit and the Hollywood movie plots and are starting to tie them together and ask a few questions.
Somewhat humorous though, but what can we really say!
There's no space in that area to build more housing. Pretty much all the space is being used to build offices for tech companies.

There's also the question of how people that do not work for one of those high paying tech companies are supposed to pay for their housing.
> His Facebook account was hijacked by someone pretending to be him / created a fake account and added Terry's family members

This is one of the things that should be remembered when people say "don't use facebook": if you're not on there and you're a "public figure", even in a very small space, it opens you up for someone else to impersonate you. I know a couple of people who have Facebook presences solely to prevent fraudulent facebook presences from being created for them.
>I don't think IPs were ever a viable tracking tool besides detecting the country.

That depends on the ISP.

Many cable ISPs assign DHCP blocks to nodes that are defined by geographical areas. These can then be correlated with cellphone apps on wireless connections that also return GPS data to the collector. After a few thousand samples you get a really good picture of IP blocks that move and ones that are somewhat static.
Yes, it is a bug, but until it's fixed it's a potential attack vector.
Ask HN: Is there a tool to generate arbitrary URLs?
I would like to test a little script of mine which normalizes URLs.

It would be awesome if there would be some tool to generate arbitrary URLs, probably configurable in some ways (e.g. add 1-n query params, generate URLs with percent-encoded octets etc.).

Does anyone know of such a tool?
Its not capitalism that creates spoils it is the government that takes money from people and then decides what to do with it.
Both techniques are deceptively effective; I know the following might be only anecdotally relevant, but it's the most recent case of a successful phishing attack I know of:

The problem with such a topic is that you cannot discuss it without walking through a galaxy sized minefield where you're guaranteed that every step will land on a mine. It's deeply subjective and tied to values that are different between the societies each of us might belong to.

But I think I can mention some facts without pointing at any conclusion:

- Not allowing people to live longer than is otherwise natural is not the same as killing.

- Societies today are allowed to kill some people for some greater good via the death penalty. A vast majority of people on the planet live in such societies: US, China, India, Pakistan (most of Asia), most (all?) of the Middle East, most of North-Eastern and Central Africa, etc.

- Having to leave your planet because you're being "pushed out" is not what I'd call an incentive or good (for who?). At least not more than the bank taking away your house is an incentive to explore living in an underpass. It's rather just a disincentive to stay.

>> ...going against recent studies, and backing the otherwise-disproven science of the fifties.

A handful of studies that find different results to a majority of studies to date do not "disprove" the majority results. Not even if that handful of studies is more recent. Especially if those more recent studies are few among many, also recent, that confirm the "science of the fifites".

I understand it's hard to know who to trust, like one of the responding comments says but here's a rule-of-thumb: don't listen to your gut, listen to the majority opinion of the experts.

... because "your gut" will typically be strongly biased towards discounting evidence you don't like (e.g. because it tells you not to eat the things you crave in large quntities).
"Only a handful of the largest tech companies have the technical and financial means to operate the sprawling filtering systems that this law demands."

The smaller platforms often use under the hood Amazon AWS, Google Cloud or equivalent.

Probably the copyright verification is going to be added at that level, and hopefully will be transparent to the platforms built on top of those cloud services.

So hopefully, this will not impact smaller SaaS companies as much as it might look.
It's quite hard to talk about a compromise when there's zero benefit in accepting the new law to begin with. Remember how effective the SOPA/ACTA protests were, the only reason these succeded was because no one was interested in a compromise.
GDPR is not a crazy law and it's pretty much the opposite of what you'd expect in a '1984' state.
Imagine you are in an empty room with a digital screen on the wall. The screen says 76°F. Over the next few days, you feel the temperature drop and rise over time, and the value on the screen always changes accordingly. You know that the real temperature and the value on the display are related, but you do not know whether the display is a thermostat or a thermometer.

Fed rate effects are difficult to measure for the same reason that the thermometer/thermostat problem exists. You cannot disambiguate cause from effect when monetary policy is used as a control system.

> I don't think you realize how much FUD is disseminated daily in the mainstream media.

FUD is what people do to Apple when they are making money hand over fist every quarter. TSLA is just a terribly run company that may end up out of business. Which is sad, because they have what appears to be a good product. Their production arrogance may not be able to be overcome though.

This is also standard Musk to blame short-sellers for TSLAs financial and production woes. Please tell me how short-sellers impact TSLA's production floor? The short-seller problem fixes itself if TSLA ever delivers.

>And Tesla plan to produce more than 300K Model 3 next year, not 100K.

I'll be amazed if they hit that number. They had to pull out all of the stops to hit the last one.
Between this and other recent changes they sure have been making some pretty terrible decisions lately. Hopefully this change is reverted.
IMO the best is a hybrid approach, where the world and places are hand-designed, but procedural generation tools are used to amplify the creative potential of the person doing the design. I believe that the developers of Horizon Zero Dawn used this approach, and it shows— the world is lush and appears very organic, but is also thoughtfully laid out and not at all same-y.

> Most of the people are not using massive complex rendering pipelines that these GPUs have but they are paying in terms of price and wattage.

This is not how compute on GPUs works now, or since G80 was released in 2006. The "massive complex rendering pipeline" doesn't even light up.
I don't have the exact actuarial data (nor the expertise to convert into numbers), but eyeballing figure 5 here: https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/NOTES/as120/LifeTables_Body.html

It appears that in 1950, a 20 year old had about a 73% chance of living to 65. In 2000, that likelihood was about 83%. A nice improvement, to be sure, but not an enormous increase.

(My point being that if somebody dies before ever paying into SS, they make no difference to the accounting one way or the other, and a lot of the change in life expectancy was indeed based on reducing mortality at younger ages).
Anecdotally, I'd say that the issues outlined here led to an even worse problem: the experience of founders pitching to them was poor.

I have to agree with you on all counts.

When I first heard that he did 100 hour weeks voluntarily, I was envious of his ability to put that many hours in. I’ve done that once and… vowed never again.

Now I am of the opinion that it broke him and he was unaware of it, and that all of his goals will be better met if he halves his work week.
They can try to enforce that, but my understanding is that your brain is generally yours outside of working hours, and stuff you dream up is also yours.

But, obviously it’s easier to quit and then do your inventing.
For the general public, SpaceX = Elon Musk = Tesla. The successes of SpaceX have carried over to the Tesla brand for consumers and probably many investors, both large and small. If Elon Musk was separated from the Tesla brand, it would be a negative.

It is also worth pointing out that Elon Musk's "other" public company, Paypal, today is valued over 2x Tesla's market capitalization ($105.7b vs $44.6b.) While what Paypal is now is far disconnected from Elon Musk today, that is a big win for creating an enterprise able of delivering incredible value over the long term for investors.

I don't have a problem with critical reporting on Tesla and Elon Musk from any media entity, backed by hedged funds otherwise. I do have a very, very big problem when they compare Elon Musk to someone like Elizabeth Holmes. (e.g. "The Age of Tech Superheroes Must End" WSJ https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-age-of-tech-superheroes-mus... )

My big concern is what happens if consumers do not want Tesla vehicles. The current problems are solvable. If Tesla vehicles become as desirable as a chunk of lead, then no amount of cash, engineering, or R&D will fix it.

You should perhaps, never look at how food is prepared at any fast food location. At every food prep place I've worked, we only saw the big boss when they were running over to tell us to replace everything because they saw the health inspector. Usually they had the line manager telling us to replace nothing, and firing or reducing hours of employees who followed the posted food safety guides
They did. I put in my order on August 1st, and they increased prices by about $1000 per car on August 3rd. I just got in before the increase.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SPDYNLE00INUSA graphs out life expectancy for the US since 1960. I couldn't find a source where it went back to 1935 as well.

According to the World Bank, we're averaging about 78 right now. So, with the same assumptions made in 1935, we should be working until we're about 76; a full 11 more years of contributions before withdrawal. Some will live longer, some won't make it. Life sucks. (Aside: who will actively employ septuagenarians?)

Combine that same thought with the idea of the maximum taxable limit ($128,400) and the "demise of SS" would probably be a lot less of a real threat. Then again, in its inception, it only taxed from the first $3,000[1] wage earned (~$55,000 in today's money).

Come on now. You cannot compare this to GPDR. GPDR was about protecting individuals, this is about protecting corporate interests. That's why this seems batshit crazy and GPDR is reasonable.

The rest of your points are worthless anecdotes. Yes it may have happened once, and yes it was stupid, but it's not like you will be chased down by the police if you walk around with a potato peeler. You cannot seriously believe that.

When looking at your resume, a potential employer needs to see immediately why you would be valuable to their organization.

If you could maintain mild hypomania (hyperthymia) endlessly without succumbing to depression or slipping to full mania most people would prefer to stay in that state forever.

People in hypomania maintain mental clarity and don't suffer from functional impairment. They have energy, confidence and increased creativity.

But it's usually just a phase between depression and mania.
It's a public startup company with ~$45bn of market cap.

A lot of people want to jump on the hypetrain but once they realize it takes actual work to get this company from Elon's wild dream to a steady-state market leading EV manufacturer while working under pressure from an obsessive man and near limitless public scrutiny, they immediately jump ship.

This is similar to how there was a big market in providing basic services (like file explorers or drive compression) to Microsoft's crippled operating system from the 1980s (DOS 3.x-5.x) and then Microsoft slowly adding them in the 1990s to their platforms (DOS 6.x + Win 3.x; Win 9x) and putting those companies out of business.

From the viewpoint of regulations on business:

- GDPR (Facebook/Google)

- Article 11 (Reddit)

- Article 13 (Github)

- Mandated EU Content on streaming providers (Netflix)

- EU Internet sales tax (Amazon)

The simple question begs: how many more regulations aimed at US companies are coming?

At this rate, the more regulations are created at fighting US companies. The number of internet startups and business located in the EU will one day cycle downward to zero.

What are they going to do next?
I don't agree with these copyright reforms, but I do agree with you. I remember thinking when the swedish pirate party got started in 2006 that it was already late to talk about these issues. Because there had already been so much written about it in the '90s and early '00. Now more than 10 years later neither the tech companies nor "the community" have dealt with any of it. Instead they have been chasing opportunities, not willing to do anything that might jeopardize their own position. Eventually reality just catches up with you and whoever can present a solution will get their chance.
> Kind of depressing that yours is the top comment, given how many outright lies it is based on.

Most of the time I comment, its more to get my ideas clarified, if you think I've outright lied then please correct me.

As your comment stands you didn't actually refute any of my points.

Is the Reno factory going to be building cars if not then its irrelevant to the topic of factories to build cars with?

The China factory hasn't started yet, so I think I'm on strong footing with this.

Tesla has also been cash flow negative for not just two quarters, but almost its entire life, now to be fair to Tesla, this was by design. It's possible with all the cost cutting and M3 sales that they could be profitable in Q3 but does anyone think they have finally turned the corner and will leave their trail of losses behind them?

I'm not convinced of that:)

I'm looking for actual thoughtful dissent to change my mind, but so far you haven't actually provided any facts or even opinions to show "outright lies" in my statement.

Ford makes 50-90k F-150's a month without the drama.

There is no universe where Tesla will be manufacturing 25,000 (300k/12) $40-50k cars per month. BMW alone sells something like 9,000 3-series vehicles in that price range per month. It's not credible that Tesla, with a limited sales network, limited charging infrastructure, high costs and long backlog is going to magically take away double digit percentages of the highly competitive small luxury sedan market.

They have been an amazingly innovative company. Hopefully when they do bankrupt the carcass gets picked up by a company who is a good steward of the assets.

I thought it was interesting nit-pick to see Musk smoking. I was hoping maybe some other tech/entrepreneurs on the site will open up about their habits. Is smoking weed generally helps programming, managing project? I wouldn't know.

Edit: you welcome to suggest and update.
Why does the image thing take 80% of the headlines and conversations, while Tesla just surpassed Mercedes and BMW in sales?

Can you find one major newspaper / website who reported that info? I certainly can find dozens of articles about Musk smoking weed, and yet not a word about the fall in BMW/Mercedes sales being hit hard by the Model 3...

We wouldn't be commenting about Musk image if they media were actually talking about the 50K deliveries of Model 3. But hey, Musk prefers to cultivate (or ruin) his image I guess...
