Sodas even became ubiquitous in our offices! And Hackathons!

But to be real; offices having free soda available has its own health downsides; A cola at lunch can quickly become a cola for lunch and afternoon snack -- and maybe even a pick-me-up when tired or stressed. Only, it leads to weight gain through its sugars and the full supressing carbonic acid; acids lead to bone, nail, and organ side effects; and sugars, hfcs, and phosphoric acid start leading us to diabetes.

Notably, it lacks an OLED display, perhaps (to me anyway) the best feature of the X.
I don't think this is not so much a property of the big company than it is of the public company. The only thing which generally unites public investors is a desire to see a positive return on their investment, typically with a high aversion to risk.

I would argue there is something to be celebrated about the "richest man in the world". Large private investors are more accountable than the public, and can act on ideologies or intentions other than greed (for better or worse).
They are definitely biased towards people that are interested in companies like Tesla.

However stuff like this is kind of factual ("an investor reported X ... we thinks it means Y") and it comes with some fair caveats. I come across their articles regularly and I haven't really seen them misrepresenting facts.

In this case, they add the following to the stuff they cite from the investor: "Electrek’s Take: I would take this with a grain of salt since those tours are controlled by Tesla’s investor relations department and there are obviously made to impress, but it’s nonetheless some interesting color on Tesla’s battery operations.". So credible source but they take their opinion with a grain of salt.

So yes, it's definitely a pro Tesla article and the 100$/KwH metric is an interesting one regardless. Definitely looks like they are doing better than their competition (which is not really news) and they seem to be out producing everybody else at this point at lower cost with more cost reductions likely due to economies of scale and improvements such as discussed in the article.

Also interesting is Elektrek's take on the infamous 35K variant being more likely to ship towards the end of the announced window. We'll see. Cost reductions definitely make this more feasible. But I can't blame Tesla for wanting to cash in on the apparently greater demand than supply for the more profitable high end models. I imagine they are not in a hurry to drop prices given the lack of competition and given the pressure on them to show positive results on their balance.
Well, in all seriousness... At one time, a lot of art was simply commissioned by religion or rulers or rich folks. No one else could afford it. Part of this was also to make those same people have their image known... with improvements, of course (old-time instagram filters!). The other art was things like political cartoons (which have a long history) and such - this was somewhat because a lot of folks couldn't read (church icons served a similar purpose).

More folks can afford to make artwork, thanks to both photography and much better printing.

So yeah, the reasons for making art have changed. I'm not sure it has ever been actually useful except to show off wealth or to improve surroundings. None of this matters, though. If you don't like art, don't buy it or make it. Maybe you enjoy some sorts of art (music and movies, for example) but not traditional artworks. Again, pass.

Now, as far as people being quick to make assumptions: I find that people need a reason for folks to do art. People attribute all sorts of meanings to artwork that I simply made because I thought it looked neat. I'm not sure why I can't just make something I like to look at and leave it at that.

Apple Describes 7nm iPhone SoC
I've been trying to clean up my excess node modules and found that when building a web-socket app, you don't need express (native http works fine) and you don't even need socket.io (unless your project needs to work on IE 9 or less) It's hard to find examples so I wrote one: https://github.com/chrisbroski/bare-socket
The SSCI might be less of a circus show than e.g. House committees, but you still hear preposterous things from them. Look at this interview:

https://www.wired.com/story/mark-warner-senate-committee-hea...

"I know Kent Walker. He’s a good guy. I respect him, but we had the lawyers back in November. This is a hearing that’s going to talk about solutions. I think it speaks volumes that Google doesn’t want to be part of that discussion. I don't think it’s good for them or for coming up with a good solution."

That tells me that either Warner doesn't know what Walker does on a daily basis (he could ask) or he just wants an excuse to skewer Page over China, as in the next paragraph. It's particularly glaring, because he goes out of his way to mention that the hearing was about solutions. Any solution at Google/Alphabet would involve Walker a lot more than Page, who's just not immersed in policy. "We had the lawyers back in November" is such a cheap shot. (Perhaps even cheaper if you know that Warner is a lawyer who never practiced...)

And this is from a Democrat who has more latitude to do his real job on the committee. Out of political calculation, Burr and co. need to avoid getting on the nerves of the guy in the White House by even implying that perhaps his victory was aided by another government. All of this to say that I don't expect much to be done. There's the DETER act, but it's not clear if it will pass, in what shape and with what kind of vigor it will be enforced.
Two days ago, partisan advocacy site ThinkProgress ran an article with the headline "Brett Kavanaught said he would kill Roe v. Wade last week and almost no-one noticed". The reason no-one noticed is because he said nothing of the sort and ThinkProgess knew as much. One of the fact checkers partnered with Facebook labelled it as false, they attached the usual warning, and this made ThinkProgress and a chunk of the left-leaning press furious. They accused Facebook of "defaming" and "censoring" them to "appease the right wing", claiming that this was actually some kind of partisan attack on the truth.

That, in essence, is how we got here. There are plenty of loud, vocal defenders of "truth" out there, it's just that the loudest and most vocal of them define "truth" to mean "what our side believes".

I'm surprised they didn't consider hosting their own vector tile server, instead of painstakingly rasterizing their entire dataset and optimizing it over and over to fit into the Mapbox data caps.

My company recently hit the need for maps showing several of our own proprietary layers at various zoom layers, and considering how much of the data is already in GeoJSON, converting that to the Mapbox Vector Tile binary format (MVT) was a breeze to implement on our own servers, compared to rasterizing all of the layers and re-rendering whenever any part of our datatset changes.
The world around Microsoft has changed though. Yea, they are still the same company even with their strategic realignment around open-source, but now they face healthy competition from arguably worse (at least just as bad) tech giants that makes Microsoft seem more benign.

Every now and then I hear some PR spiel or read some comment on HN about how great Windows is now and I try to run it, but I always run into some dumb thing like this that turns me off.
Also the interfaces for a bicycle have been functionally the same for over a hundred years. While they have changed with technology, a rider from 1900 could without issues ride a modern bike. I know a guy that uses a +70 year old bike daily, and it does the job he needs it for as good as any other bike. As a layperson it's possible to understand every mechanical part of your bike, and even fix them yourself with some effort.

To me bikes and computers are as different as they come.

You had thousands of folks working 24/7. Assuming you had that many SCBA in the first place (generally you just have enough for a given shift plus some spares, not enough for all the off duty shifts working at the same time as well), how would you propose keeping that many bottles filled? When it takes an hour or more to get to the work-site, are you supposed to take a half dozen extra bottle with you just for the commute?

This was obviously an extraordinary situation, and it seems bizzare to me that you would draw the inference that SCBA is not used in the US...
Millennials and Mainframes: How to Bridge the Gap
To put this find in perspective, behavioral modernity -- a sign of which is the use of pigment -- is generally dated to about 50,000 years ago.

Previous finds in Blombos Cave, 77,000-year-old ochre engravings (as opposed to drawings) showed the early evolution of modern behavior. This find, on the other hand, is a drawing, the oldest known finding of which was until now 40,000 years old.
Note that Context is a pretty new API (1), way newer than most state management libraries. Before that it quickly became unmanageable to lift state up and pass props down all the way.

"table salt" is pretty much just NaCl, but no I don't mean salts in the general chemical sense. I mean salt- the kind in all water and the prehistoric stuff that is mined. That kind of salt is a big ol' mix that is primarily NaCl but has nontrivial amounts of lithium, potassium and magnesium compounds as well.

Lithium salts in particular are more common in freshwater than other kinds of salt, due to various geological properties that I dont really know much about.
It mentions that several times.

On the contrary, claiming that using words like "diversity" or "inclusiveness" is tantamount to "meaning to do 'you' harm" is itself harmful.

Phoronix – Linux Hardware Reviews, Open-Source Benchmarks
Some people stop by on the way home the night before.
A handful of (mostly) coastal states manage to exempt themselves from criticism for how their culture and government policy unnecessarily makes being being less than wealthy a bigger pain in the butt than it needs to be by saying "look, we have legal weed and easy to get abortions, look how great we are!" and ignoring the economic reality that their government/society imposes on people who are living paycheck to paycheck or worse.

I really don't like it. The issues that the upper classes in states like to pat themselves on the back about are a lot farther down the hierarchy of needs than being able to afford to register your vehicle.

It's not even a left or right thing, it's a whether or not people have to spend time/money/effort jumping through hoops (thereby driving up the cost of living) set up by the government thing.

States shouln't be measured by how nice it is to be "average" there, they should be measured by how shitty it is or isn't if you're just scraping by.
I'm skeptical of that theory. Sunspot is up in the Lincoln National Forest. There are multiple trails and locations that have a great view of White Sands and Holloman AFB, which are located in the basin below. There isn't anything special about the view from Sunspot that I can recall.

The national RCS test facility is at Holloman, all kinds of interesting test pilot units out there as per the public website.

If you pull the list of current NOTAMs for Holloman, normally the tower is part time but is open continuous from 10-sept to 14-sept. Must be busy. As per the NOTAMs they are also doing a lot of construction work at Holloman, heavy construction vehicles all over and wingspan limitations to avoid hitting them.

My guess is the somewhat abandoned research facility will come off lockdown after the 14th.

My understanding of the research facility is its in transition and likely unsecured; once its secured to some minimal level, law enforcement will ignore it when they're doing something "interesting" at Holloman.

Or, when whatever test equipment they're installing at Holloman is covered by an opaque radome, they'll reopen the research facility.
This is mentioned multiple times in the article.

Please. All that stuff happens behind the scenes anyway
OP: "the demand for suppression of 'politically' offensive terms is ... a desire to make speech and thought malleable to political control." But OP feels that using speech to make thought comfortable with owning slaves and thereby supporting the political support for slave-holding is OK. Noobs routinely ask, "The term is WHAT? But slavery is bad." The answer is, "Not in this case. This is a case where slavery is OK." After years of living with this language, this (admittedly small) support for slavery no longer disturbs the experienced programmer. The programmer will even say that, on this side, there is no thought control in the language, but on that side, there is.

I'm no stock market expert but surely that's only true if the short sellers are right and the stock does lose a lot of value? Whereas if the stock keeps going up the short seller has motive to try and crash the stock price?

My understanding is that the article is referring to the new 2170 Cells (used in Model 3) which are produced at the Panasonic/Tesla partner Gigafactory in Nevada.

Even for the cells produced in Japan if they are using IP owned by Tesla in their construction or chemistry they could still have a say in who Panasonic sells them to.
Yes, but only promoted recently, and has more of an advisory role than a leadership one. Certainly a talented guy, but not comparable to Sandberg or Dorsey.
Very cool! I'd recommend changing the default oscillator. 1000hz sine wave becomes aggravating extremely quickly! Maybe 500hz (lower?), and 0.05 gain? Or at least a filter after the oscillator.

But I really like this idea - you could take it much further (I'm sure you plan too!) From a UX perspective I think most people will run quickly from this page, because unless you understand modular synths it will be very daunting to figure out how to make something that sounds nice. A dropdown with some defaults would at least let them play to get an intuition of what's happening.

I'd also make it easier to see how to add nodes - it's quite unintuitive at the moment. And a panic button to stop/play sound... The more I tried to make the sound quieter, the louder I accidentally made it!

But again, super cool idea - it would be great to make a SFXR/BFXR-type sound effect generator that would spit out web audio code!

I enjoy being a jerk and ruining a story as much as the next person, but you have to check your facts before doing something like that.

You don't. I use Hugo, and haven't touched a line of go code. For me, setting it up, using one of the available templates, with a few tweaks, seemed very easy. But I haven't used other static generators so I'm not sure how Hugo compares.

It all seems so obvious in retrospect because iPhones have defined so much of how everything works now.

Yep! Old batteries tend to still hold a charge quite well- they become less efficient under the same load, which gives the impression that they lose capacity much faster than is actually the case. If you derate them they perform quite well- a battery may last 60% as long as it did originally, but when used more slowly it will hold more like 80% of its original capacity.

In fact, battery degradation has in some cases been slower than battery innovation! Batteries have gotten better so quickly that the newer ones may have 50% more capacity even if the old ones didnt degrade much at all.

Edit: its also complicated by the multitude of batteries and chemistries. Li ion is incredibly diverse compared to other battery families, and the various types can't be used together. Practically speaking you can only reuse batteries of a single chemistry and form factor, and the chemistry changes every few years or less. Its just not a stable enough industry for that yet.
