I don't think it's a matter of flexibility but rather rigidity. One of the products I work on has a BGA with over 1400 balls at a very fine pitch (smt done at contract manufacturer with serious machines, of course).

The really high ball-count devices always go on thick multilayer PCB's (ours has 32 layers). Mechanical flexing certainly can break connections but that requires a significant force that "should never" been seen in the field.

BTW, one way to troubleshoot for already existing poor connections on a BGA (other than using boundary scan) is to blast it with cold spray or push down on it while running a test. If it stops working or suddenly starts working, you know you have a problem. The cold-spray/heat-gun/press-down troubleshooting techniques won't hurt good connections.

These things can be a pain in the ass, but a properly soldered BGA on an appropriate board with appropriate heat sinks and fixturing is very reliable-- they're everywhere.

Bought for $5.5 million in 1999, and going for $21.8 million now.

So about 7.5% per year in appreciation over 19 years.

Really good rate of return but not the eye popping numbers you expect to hear from the heart of Silicon Valley.

I'm not sure what he could be criminally charged with - neither he nor anyone else at the company sold stock and profited from his idiotic tweets. I believe you actually need to profit from manipulation in order for it to enter the realm of criminal.
Yes, but they are paid by the importer and (usually) passed on to the consumer. In effect they become a subsidy for local industry paid by consumers.
Oh, you're so right! I mis-remembered and didn't bother to check through the article first. My mistake. (I knew the article from reading it when it was published.)

Still, I'd be surprised if they expected it to be any later than 2019. Historically they never give information out like that early at all, so for them to break precedent and announce anything seems to indicate that they're fairly confident. Hopefully it goes better than AirPower haha.

"It's sad because in America we've largely relegated what should be a normal living environment to fascimiles of imaginary places."

This is deep and very quotable. It's one of the things I love the most about living outside the USA, when I'm able to do so-- not relying on my car to get literally everywhere. My happiness and quality of life feel so much higher. I know for sure it affects my waist line.
He doesn't even need to do that! The feds need to prove he never intended to take Tesla private, or that "funding secured" was somehow isolated from those intentions and tweeted disingenuously to move the stock price. Good luck with that -- all evidence is to the contrary (talks had taken place and the Saudis have entered the market in earnest, and relevant emails had been sent out across the entire company). It was a dumb tweet for a lot of reasons, and it's reasonable to subpoena emails and investigate (and obviously civil claims and losses are another story), but dwelling on "fraud" of all wrongs here is downright silly.
It "transpiles" to lua. So you can do anything lua does, run on any lua interpreter, use any lua library.

So yeah, blazing fast, with a decent macro system and fixing some of the odd corners of Lua at compile time. It's really a great little thing (it's 2k lines of lua, so super easy to embed/ship too).

China still hasn't pulled out the boycott card like they have recently done to both Korean and Japanese companies for perceived slights. A lot of F500 companies are reliant on China's consumer market to meet their quarterly goals, and would be vulnerable.
> in the EU it's seen as a good thing to protect people even when they don't understand why

Use of the word "elite" by the author encapsulates this mentality. What if they do understand why and still don't care? Or at least, to speak from my perspective, what if they do understand why but also understand that the approach used makes things worse? It is so disappointing watching so many praise the intent of the law instead of the practicalities that I wonder where real understanding is lost. Recognition of a problem, and even recognition of what might work in some idealistic situation, is not enough to be construed as understanding the situation.
We need a new labor movement. The control corporations have over the average worker is getting troublesome for society. Between non compete clauses, cartel-like salary caps and anti-union stances, no wonder real wages haven't risen in decades. While great for the capital classes, it is long term detrimental to the stability of society.

There's a difference in:

"We conduct investigations on a regular basis on a multitude of people over possible perceived wrongdoings."

-vs-

"We are conducting a thorough investigation on Musk, Tesla, SpaceX because we believe he did something wrong."

The first is a non-answer, and puts no blame anywhere. Its their reason to be, so its unsurprising. The second statement itself changes the market the very same way he was claimed to do, and paints him and the companies in a bad light, prior to any finding of fact.

I'm arguing for the defense and protection of the accused. By the very definition, they are not guilty/liable UNTIL the court says they are. But this style of bandying around "We're INVESTIGATING ____" Only puts strong implicit blame and guilt on the accused.
That's not true, $75,000 is the minimum amount to make this a federal case so the lawsuit is just saying it was at least that. He'll almost certainly have to pay a lot more.

The actual lawsuit is damning:

So there's a lot of coverage about the EU parliament process, but where did the drive for this copyright directive come from? There seems to very little coverage on how this directive came about. Whose interests are being represented by these changes?

Is this just not a problem in practice, or is there some technical barrier I'm not thinking of here? I'm imagining a system where you say "hey Google, I'm about to post content X" that you do right before it goes live on your site. No race condition.
No, but also yes... in the way that a table or div elements and css styles are also alternatives to flexbox.
I think we have to separate the ability to control our own information, demand privacy if we want it, and things like the right to be forgotten, which I find far more objectionable than gdpr. I should be able to tell companies they can't use my info and activities any way they want. We have large companies that are effectively general utilities that a modern educated person almost needs to use (email, linked in, to a lesser degree facebook) to be successful, and I even pay google for my email and domain but they still have complex privacy tracking descriptions that always looks like they can basically do anything inside their system with my activities that they track. I don't care that it makes their life harder, they are making plenty of money. I'm actually paying them and I can't really compel them to change their behavior.
Can you elaborate on the specifics of the copyright law?
Additionally when we import from China, we pay with dollars. China can either buy US goods with the dollars, or buy US assets (typically Treasury bonds) with the dollars. If you end the trade surplus with China, you end a cheap source of funding for the US government.

The DOJ couldn’t even prosecute any major banks for the fraud that led to the financial collapse in 2008. That is how hard it is to prove criminal intent for white collar crimes.

At best, they settle with Musk for some financial penalty.

Shorts drive the price down

Not on their own they don't. You can go and short Facebook right now and it won't move the price at all.
For simple grid storage the efficiency is just bad. The electricity-hydrogen-electricity round-trip efficiency is about 60%, pumped hydro or batteries can do better.

So it's only worth it if you have other uses for the hydrogen or need longer-term storage, e.g. gas reservoirs.

Plus any infrastructure you build will have to be overprovisioned because by definition it'll be designed to absorb peaks and run idle the rest of the time, which makes it even less profitable.
It would no doubt be disruptive, temporarily. And it would also prompt a multi hundred billion dollar redirection of investment into moving those supply lines to other countries. Vietnam would love to get some more of China's tech manufacturing action, as would a dozen other developing countries. Others would welcome gains to be had in apparel or autos by moves like that by China.

One of the biggest problems China has in this trade war: they're entirely replaceable. They offer nothing strictly unique that can't be replaced by another country, even though there may be a serious cost involved. The mistake of not being a large technology originator.
TLS authenticates in a technical sense. The purpose of EV was to tie the technical authentication to existing processes for legal authentication. That's why, for example, EV certs must include the legal name of the company or a registered DBA (note--edited to fix this).

> But while all of this technically works, most users don't bother with checking it.

Shouldn't that be a UI problem? But instead of improving the usability and utility of EV and OV cert content, browsers are instead just hiding it.

> I can trade your flavor of cynicism with my own: certificate authorities don't want TLS certificates to be cheap, so they come up with shiny options such as OV and EV to have something they can upsell.

A lot of people do feel this way. The objection to OV and EV certs has a large cultural component. Browser providers don't like CAs in general. Part of it is because most CAs are not as technically savvy. But yes, part of it is: who is going own identity and authentication on the Web? It's a tug of war with real business implications.

What gets lost in the fight is that EV and OV certs are not just stupid scam upsells. Conceptually they are different from DV certs, and contain different content that could be used to solve real problems for users. Sure--anyone can create a company and register it with a CA to generate an EV cert. But doing so leaves a paper trail that is easier for law enforcement to follow than just a DNS entry for a DV cert.

> The way to resolve that social problem is through more sophisticated education and training.

This is not how social problems get solved. We didn't provide sophisticated education and training to help people discern real clothing stores from criminals who will rob you; we used the collective resources of society to create processes and records that help us hold business owners accountable if they use their business to commit crimes.
I wasn't alive in 1977, but in the 90s, the perception was that downtown was busy during the day, but a ghost town after 5:00 PM. I don't believe that particular area was particularly unsafe or unwelcoming, it's just that the only reason people were there was daytime business.

>- the backing off of a deep pocketed investor in the Saudis

Musk is responsible for this because he actually rejected this deal, not because the Saudis were involved, but because it involved partnering with VW.
You're still misrepresenting the state of the law. Yes, you absolutely can use factors other than age, but not deliberately as a proxy for age. Again, Hazen. Also Taggart v. Time (which uses "euphemism" instead of "proxy" but reaches the same conclusion). Intent does matter, though disparate impact alone carried the day in Smith v. City of Jackson.

If you're going to play a lawyer online, learn the law. Using phrases like "plainly untrue" for areas of the law that are complex and still rapidly evolving isn't very constructive. As I said earlier, it's possible to use salary etc. in good faith, but it's risky and anyone who does it had better be extra-prepared to document their processes in case of a challenge.
This is really good to hear. WeWork has multiple office spaces in my city and I was not aware their full time staff had to sign non-competes. This seems insane considering their entire business is to provide space for freelancers and startups.

I've refused to sign non-competes myself, and have written about it previously[1]. In the past it really hasn't been a problem. People have typically changed their contracts when I bring it up. But in the past year, I had to walk away from two different jobs because of their refusal to remove non-compete language from their contracts.

Are there any groups working on getting national/federal regulations changed to invalidate or ban non-compete agreements? I'd want to contribute to such causes.

Only Yandex has something where you can inform them of upcoming articles/links before you publish. (As mentioned in the article.)
https://yandex.com/support/webmaster/authored-texts/owners.h...

If you ping Bing or Google before you publish, they’ll get a 404 and will take that as a sign that there is no content there. They also will wait longer before trying to reindex a page that previously returned a 404.
Ted Cruz was born in Canada. The naturalization requirement is a lot looser than you might think.
Nah, it's clear Musk hates short sellers. That's not the issue. Nor is his desire to hurt them. The question is whether he had scienter when misstating the finality of the deal he was negotiating.
Yeah, but there's only so much technology can do to mitigate a 40mph impact.[1] And I assume that 65 Toronado required wide turns (as did the 60-something Pontiac Boneville I briefly owned and stupidly sold because it wasn't sleek enough). Whereas pedestrians getting clipped by a left-turning car racing pedestrians is a regular occurrence.

That said, point taken. And those mitigations are based on real-world data, not my anecdotes. And, of course, nothing prevents us from having the best of both worlds--safer cars and safer streets. I was just thinking that streets are so stupidly designed today because, once upon a time, the same configurations may not have been as stupid. (I know that one reason SF streets are so wide, especially in the Western part of the city, is because they were designed to accommodate street cars and cars simultaneously.)

[1] Automatic braking is a huge deal but its far from pervasive. The last time I went car shopping three years ago, it was still an expensive option for both the Honda CRV and Mercedes GLC we were looking at. My lease is almost up and I think it'll be standard on the same model CRV. Even when it becomes standard industry-wide it'll be many years before I'd factor it into my mental calculus as a pedestrian. Less well-off drivers in older cars spend a disproportionate amount of time on the streets simply because of the economics (e.g. often live far outside the city because of housing costs, and drive into the city because neither their homes nor jobs are conveniently located to mass transit).
That would probably work, but it would affect legitimate users. They would see the gibberish, too.

Ask HN: My asshole tech lead steals my ideas
It usually goes like this:

1. I have an improvement idea (architecture, code organization, dependency handling, code checkers, etc.).

2. I propose it to the tech lead (he's not actually a lead, but works at the company the longest and is most knowledgeable and has most influence on decision making).

3. He doesn't accept it. I ran-out-of-arguments/cannot convince him.

4. A few weeks, even months, pass.

5. He proposes the idea as his own.

6. The manager accepts it.

I kinda furious at the moment because it happened again today. I think it's just weird to go to my manager and say it was my idea in the first place. Why he should believe me?

Any ideas how to handle it?
That's a realllly simplistic and one-sided view of short sellers.
Platform details are eventually going to leak, regardless of which one gets targeted.
Devs as fake executives? I’ve never heard of that specifically. Devs are often FLSA exempt employees due to their professional status, but that’s usually accurate. The effect of being FLSA exempt is that they aren’t paid overtime, but that’s just the law operating as intended.
Well, remember that 1999 was dotcom bubble as well. So timing is a factor. I wonder if the mid range or the bottom of the market (ca. 1999) benefited from similar price appreciation - would check but code is done compiling, back to work!:).

Asafetida today is probably best known for its use in Indian cuisine.
You can have whatever opinion you want on what the Internet should be, just like I can. But the Internet today is different networks settings their own policy. Google can say "connect to us and we won't charge you for YouTube traffic", but that doesn't stop someone else from saying "no, pay us for access to our networks instead". It doesn't really matter if something is available or not as such because the whole model is based on exchanging access to infrastructure.

At the end of the day what you are describing is some sort of regulated nationalized Internet backbone. Which would to a larger extent support such features. As it is now if you don't like the "mix" of access you are getting, you should change providers (which could of course be a problem, but that is another issue).

I'm not disputing effectiveness of statins one bit. They're effective, though not as hugely effective as we're led to believe by marketing. (15% RRR is probably worthwhile even if we don't know how these work.)

I'm disputing that the effect is related to LDL-C. There were no important differences in trials that titrated based on LDL-C or used fixed dose. Compare RR 0.63 vs 0.71 and full error bar overlap. There were also no relevant differences of outcome based on stratification by LDL-C levels.

I did not feel the need to address "genetic"/"metabolomic" studies. (Also known as data sifting.)

Standard MR is essentially n-D crosscorrelation of LDL-C levels with LDLR genetic variant and CHD occurences. We know that beforehand. It doesn't tell us anything of causation nor anything we don't know. The authors like to misuse R as "explains".

The stronger MR variant results suggest adiposity causes LDL-C levels. Which we already know, again, does not give us a clear treatment target.

The other advanced studies pinpoint specific lipids as the cause of CHD, but cannot say where they are from. And no, they're not quite LDL-C.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4816855/

I'm not entirely sure how the authors got the rationale from what they're writing about.

The better MR-like methods as mentioned are like stepwise crosscorrelation and median clustering. Not entirely sure how they can actually show causality.

When the statistical guesswork method (MR is one kind of) does not match the observations... it is likely that either the method is incorrect or that our treatment is misapplied and reality does not match it. MR suggests RRR 3.5 for all LDL-C lowering drugs. We see 1.15 on statins and none on PCSK9 inhibitors vs CVD mortality.

I'd bet on MR being invalid/confused.
Notably, by this standard Reddit isn't a site. Each subreddit, or cluster of subs with common moderators, is functionally a distinct site.

Obviously this isn't absolute. The site has a common structure for debate, the default subreddits have common traits (and common troll/bad-faith factions), and the media perception is of a unified site.

But the functioning of /changemyview, /askhistorians, and other highly structured subs is vastly different from "the reddit experience", and lots of other subs with less structure still have mod-enforced debate boundaries. As an example - the sub for "late capitalism" memes bans defenses of capitalism or debates on the merits of socialism to create shared values for discussion, while linking to /debatecommunism to provide space for a different debate.

Honestly, this is my biggest frustration with talk about reddit as "an alt-right site" or predictions that it will die out from ideological conflict. It's not Facebook, where things pass arbitrary distances along a graph. It's not Tumblr, where the basic communication structure is "here, talk to people who hate you". It's a siloed system where a huge fraction of users never experience any of what's popularly described as 'Reddit'.
