Are you asking how you can get your kids interested in something they're not interested in, because you are? I'm often surprised at the industry's determination to be so enthusiastic about programming. I enjoy it, and have done for decades, but I fully expect that on my death bed I'll regret spending so much of my life staring at a piece of consumer electronics.
>Just metonymy ---

I know, but you cannot use it "asymmetrically" in a case such as this.

Apple may metonymically call Amazon, but if the call (and the deal) is initiated by Steve Jobs, the call (and deal) is received by Jeff Bezos or by one of his top executives.

BTW there is an evident need for symmetry also for the "merit" of the fast decision/acceptance by the receiving party, you cannot incense the one making the fast, direct and serendipitous proposal and then hide the one (person) on the other side that so quickly accepted it (for 1M $) under the metonymy.

>Tim Cook told a story once that he was unsure what to do at some point with regard to shareholders or something, so he called up Warren Buffett.

Yep, he didn't call up Berkshire Hathaway.
That's exactly how it has worked for 10+ years. If you have no reddit cookie, the site will never be down (unless the CDN has failed too).

The problem is that when you do have a cookie, until recently there was no good way for the CDN to know if you needed data from the servers or not, so all requests with cookies got forwarded to the servers. In most cases, you'd still never hit the database on a home page load, except possibly to read your user data out and find out what subreddits you subscribe to. But you may have a failed page load because the servers were overloaded for other reasons.

I believe they are now fixing this by doing more on the frontend, allowing for caching of logged in requests as well.

The problem is that any non-fossil fuel derived hydrogen made from solar/wind loses more than 60% during conversion. Compare that to lithium with around 10% loss that includes outputting the energy (hydrogen would lose even more).

Hydrogen is a terrible battery with very little chance to catch up to current battery tech.

True. And yet I played and watched just as much football as my brother when we were growing up - and as adults he spends every weekend watching the scores come in and watches every game his team plays. International games aside, football does very little for me. I prefer to spend my time doing other things that give me the same buzz he gets from that.

You can push a kid in any direction. And for some period of time, they might even get behind it. Doesn't mean it will develop to fruition (otherwise I might actually have something to show for those years of piano lessons!).

Probably because Facebook Groups covers this use case pretty well and everyone already has a Facebook account. That's my guess.
It's not a fact that he lied. He believed he had funding and explained the rational behind that. He wasn't making it up. Intent matters.

Certainly, it was a reckless thing to say and a bad idea given that it wasn't 100% closed. "Secured" was the wrong word to use, no doubt.

Elon: "I left the July 31st meeting with no question that a deal with the Saudi sovereign fund could be closed, and that it was just a matter of getting the process moving. This is why I referred to “funding secured” in the August 7th announcement."

I missed that. If this was a one-off GMK set, it was very expensive. They could run those keycaps alone as a group buy and do pretty well.
>Steve Jobs said it well

Steve Jobs was a class-A asshole who people who are trained in leadership agree was a poor leader of humans, even if he had great success in business. I'm not sure I'd take his leadership musings without a few grains of salt.

As a counter example, Vienna largely converted its second major shopping street, Mariahilfer Straße, to a mostly pedestrian + bike zone, with parts of it also shared space with cars, though they do not have priority over pedestrians. Gets very crowded during core shopping hours, so much that biking there is rather difficult.

First one was Kärntner Straße / Graben, which is pedestrians only.

I'm looking forward to more streets getting closed off to cars. Way too much space is reserved for cars already.
The problem is that there are only few controlled trials for herbs and supplements, mainly because there is no money to be made because the substances can't be patented. If company A finances a controlled trial, then company B can just copy the claims.

Another problem is that these herbal cures may work initially (through placebo effect or a real mechanism), and then stop working. However, at that point the word has already been spread. This is especially troubling in the internet age, where people post reviews after one day of trying something.
It actually makes a real difference.

Then you need to be a manager. Organizations where there is a tech lead who does people management, or where it's "flat" (i.e. no managers) tend to develop informal, unspoken, or hidden political structures that fill the role.

You might be more comfortable with Python syntax than with standard mathematical syntax, but I wouldn't think of it as being closer to "just a logical description" or closer to being the "raw idea." You're just choosing to use different notation.

I would guess that most people comfortable with both representations would feel that standard mathematical notation is lighter and conveys the "raw idea" more directly.
In addition to what other replies have said, Elon also has pledged some of his stock in order to secure personal loans. He will have to fund margin calls or sell his stock if the stock falls below a certain price.

> Yes, but with a gym, you can switch if you keep seeing overcrowdedness. Not so with an ISP that has a monopoly.

And this is the real problem.

Then you wouldn't need to over-regulate how ISPs operate ... you could let the market decide.
Please define shorts. Google was unable to figure it out.
Start them off excited about the analog world before you get into digital.

Get an electronics starter kit from a site like Adafruit or Sparkfun with an Arduino or raspberry pi (I prefer the Pi). Start them out with basic circuits and switches, LEDs and maybe a small 5v fan to show them how they can control the stuff. I highly recommend “fun” gadgets like a thermoelectric/Peltier module because it turns hot and cold, and you can get ones that run on 5V-1A, which most microcontrollers and the Pis can output. Easy peasy.

Then you can start showing them how they can control the physical world through programming, like turning a series of LEDs on and off, or playing a simple melody with a buzzer, or combining a temperature sensor with the Peltier module to turn it on when the room temperature gets hot.

If I had that kind of stuff growing up, I would have started programming at a very young age.

I obviously lack a piece of the puzzle here, let me see if I get this right: a short means borrowing stock, selling it then rebuying it later (betting that the price would have fallen in order to turn a profit) before giving it back to its original owner.

I suppose if everybody shorts at the same time the huge amount of stock being sold could drive the price momentarily down, but then again the opposite happens when the stock is re-bought. So in the end it should be effectively zero-sum? Or is it just that a huge amount of people started shorting the stock at the same time which made it a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy?
I really liked Lego growing up. Playing with BASIC on my first PC back in the early 90s was like grown up Lego - putting bits (no pun intended) together to create something new was amazing. The first time my named scrolled down the screen in different colours was a similar buzz to completing a really cool model.

I guess what I'm saying - if your kid is the kind of person that enjoys the sort of buzz some of us get from creating with code, find a way to give them that buzz and then let them run with it and explore it themselves.
I wasn't sarcastic.
>Some day we need to realize that one person's right is another person's prohibition.

I take slight issue with that - for example, what prohibition on males was there when women were given the right to vote? I suppose one could argue the male vote was diluted but realistically no pain would be felt.

I say this because oftentimes for social services arguments, conservatives will ask me "well who's gonna pay for it," which I can often answer with "literally nobody. You are generating property value for yourself by housing homeless / increasing the value of your currency by educating disenfranchised youth / whatever."
If you short a stock, you profit when that company does poorly; since Tesla is one of the most shorted stocks out there, we have many people trying to spread FUD via blog posts/tweets/etc in hopes that they can drive the stock price down. (Or in some cases even going to extremes like fraudulently submitting reports to the NHTSA claiming design flaws and problems with Tesla cars.) This has the side effect of damaging public perception of Tesla.
I use state machines in my work (or did, less programming these days). They're an impressively effective formalism for modeling systems at various degrees of complexity.

What state is my radio in? When I receive this message what state does it move into? When I send this message what state does it move into? Etc.

Even if our programs aren't direct translations of this model, our specification comes out this way (or is better understood if you view it this way). All of our simulators take this model directly. Our automated testing, similarly, is done by using this state machine model of the system.
It’s important to note that Elon screwed over the “longs” (people holding TSLA stock) too, not just the shorts. Many people and funds bought more TSLA stock in the $350’s range on the assumption that of course the company could/would go private at $420/share. After all, hadn’t the CEO just said so?

This is not an early step. The trend has been clear for the past decade, and it has been going in the wrong direction, at increasing speeds.

This is pretty much something the tech industry brought upon itself by trying to always trying to outdo itself in terms of how much tracking and privacy violations it could get away with.

Nobody is born with an interest in anything.. If my parents pushed programming on me as a young person I might not have enjoyed it as much as I do since learning it would be for them, not for me.
Tesla's stock price is very high right now, largely on the basis that many investors expect it to do well in the future. This high valuation makes it easier for Tesla to raise more money to fund its future ambitions. The short sellers are promoting a story that Tesla will not do well in the future, and is overvalued today. If they manage to convince other investors of this story, the stock price may decline and hinder both Musk's personal wealth and prestige, and Tesla's ability to fund its future operations.

So it's somewhat understandable that Musk doesn't look kindly on the short sellers - he would prefer that skeptics stay quiet and stop trying to ruin his company's valuation. You are correct, however, that acting in a deceiving manner to make the shorts lose money is not an acceptable retaliation.

This is 100% acceptable. Just because you don't use it doesn't mean it's unacceptable. For more on metonymy and examples of it, check out the book "Metaphors We Live By". There are a few chapters devoted to real-world uses of metonymy, and this is absolutely common among native English speakers.

Also, do you have something against using the letter y for the "kit" vowel? I've never seen spellings like "simmetry" or "metonimy" before in any dialect. (Honest question.)

> Yep, he didn't call up Berkshire Hathaway.

Is it so unbelievable that wealthy people might have met once and exchange phone numbers? What use would Berkshire Hathaway be for him? He wanted advice from Buffett directly, not some other person, nor the company as an entity.

Also, your argument doesn't make any sense anymore. Why is it that you feel Tim Cook has to call Berkshire Hathaway (company) and not Warren Buffet (person), but you think that Steve Jobs called Jeff Bezos (person) and not Amazon (company)?
