Those short sellers don't care about any of that, they only care about making money and it's understandable that Musk is trying to find ways to ruin their game.

Musk should have run this type of tweet by his close business friends / counsel.

I hope he will only get a slap on the wrist for this.

Whoops, just reread your previous comment and somehow I missed the "no outbound traffic" part. That would indeed seem to largely eliminate the issue, although I wonder how long it will be until devices start communicating with each other wirelessly to exfiltrate cached data. I realize that last sentence sounds paranoid, but nonetheless it would already appear to be well on its way to a home near you. For example (http://www.m-87.com/),

> Our software for the Internet of Things creates a Proximate Internet, intelligently discovering and connecting edge devices when they are in offline environments with poor or non-existent network connectivity. This opens up new edge networking solutions for data trapped in IoT sensors, controllers, or mobile computing devices in challenging environments.

I'm willing to bet your cell phone has a data connection, and while I'm sure yours is running LineageOS or an equivalent, what about that friend you invited over for dinner later?
I actually think "give-up-itis" is a more specific term than "psychogenic death", and is a better descriptor for what they're talking about. First, "psychogenic death" just means a death caused by the mind, without any specifics about how the mind caused it—e.g. if you think about something really scary and make your heart rate jump up and manage to give yourself a heart attack, it seems like that might qualify as a "psychogenic death" (I imagine there'd have to be other things wrong with your heart for that to tip you over the edge, but I'm not an expert); whereas this is about a mechanism involving some kind of apathetic mindset. Second, "psychogenic death" can only apply after the person is dead; it doesn't describe someone suffering from the same mechanism that hasn't killed them yet. Maybe "psychogenic decay"? (But again, that doesn't specify the mindset involved; perhaps someone who spends all their time experiencing pain, or anger, or something else would decay in a different way.)

If they had to come up with a "medical" term for "give-up-itis", I might guess it'd be "apathetic psychogenic decay", or else some Latinized phrase. https://translate.google.com/#auto/la/disease%20of%20giving%... yields "De morbo dare sursum", who knows.

I also suspect this research is early enough that it doesn't make sense to choose an official term and commit to it yet. I am in favor of people not polluting the namespace of terms with things that, upon closer examination, should have been named something else.

The world would be better off without some people. That being said, there's a big difference between the call of the void and true intent to act.

I can't imagine that any parent who saw their child murdered wouldn't at least entertain the thought of revenge. But I also see a profound power imbalance in your story. The powerful can act with impunity. Give the parent the power of reprisal and things start to look different. The child might have lived.

Perhaps there would be a bit less corruption and dishonesty in this world if there was a bit more fear of real consequences for ones actions.
People keep saying this, and it makes very little sense. The Tesla that he "didn't found" was a boutique outfit formed to modify another company's obscure sports car to make it run on batteries. That company no longer exists in any sense beyond the name on the business license. The Tesla that exists now is indisputably there because of Musk's ambition, willpower, and engineering instincts, for better or worse.

Show HN: Blaze – a blazing fast ElasticSearch data exporter
Slightly OT, but you would be surprised at how much power PDFs have (especially when opened in Adobe Acrobat/Reader). I recently came across this monstrosity[1] on HN, and the author mentions this:

> Scripts can supposedly do things like make arbitrary database connections, detect attached monitors, import external resources, and manipulate 3D objects.

That's an unprecedented level of power for what is supposedly a simple document format.

That being said, PDFs are only a threat when opened in a with support for these obscure APIs, such as Adobe's own readers. You (probably) will be fine opening untrusted PDFs in Chrome's PDF reader (PDFium) and Preview.

i agree. there aren't a huge abundance of such job opportunities, but there are a few out there. for me it was a few years doing development with splashes of applied operations research (discrete optimisation, liner programming, etc).
I think this is true for a lot of poststructuralist thought, the most popular which have generally been subsumed into the cultural consciousness (e.g. Deleuze's rhizome becomes what we know as the distributed network). But I think it's still useful to draw upon those concepts to codify what we live and breathe.

Hi HN! I've been working with ElasticSearch the last few days and got tired of elasticdump being slow when dumping data to disk, so I wrote Blaze.

It dumps indexes to disk fast. It dumps them in a format compatible with the ElasticSearch Bulk API so it's easy to put the data back as well.

Please try it out and let me know what you think!

> A better thing does not necessarily exist yet

Ah, of course.

> Interfacing with a DB using a fortran inspired query language is archaic. Constructing the queries using string concatenation has been a security nightmare.

Perhaps, but this this often for very ubiquitous technologies. See almost every HTML authoring tool.

You can write full application servers in Oracle PL/SQL now. [1] And with PostgreSQL's row-level security, you can easily have a GraphQL server with PostGraphile [2]. But those aren't popular solutions.

> ou could build something waaayyy better off of prolog or mercury, full programming languages with the inductive logic engine at the core of their paradigm

That doesn't really change the equation. You still either have to (1) choose your DBMS's query language to write your application server (like today) or (2) use one language to construct queries in another (like today).

I won't argue that a Prolog DBMS wouldn't be nice. I will argue that in terms of the hard parts of a DBMS, it's not going to fundamentally change things.

I'm running a small reseller business on my own & I have hard time doing marketing. I'm just a developer & don't know much about marketing or sales? I don't want any partner, how do I do marketing efficiently?
Thanks for getting back to me!

Would you be able to link me to the exact courses? Or, the authors at least?

Were you trained in engineering, or self taught?

Where do you go to for your marketing knowledge? favorite sites, blogs, books, thought leaders?

How do you combine marketing with your other skills?

Any other advice for a person aspiring to be in your position?
Really nice idea.

On the other hand it's not the solution my company would use, as we have to ensure cross browser compatibility.

Anti-virus software was very easy to circumvent in the past. Getting the kernel32 address from the PEB, having your own PE loader and having most code xored with the Mersenne twister output in the data segment for obfuscation, as well as some runtime is_sandbox() heuristics and no AV would detect anything malicious.

Don't know if it got better or worse, but AV software was not very good at finding malicious code explicitly written to not run in plain sight in the past.

Wow, that's so wrong on so many levels:

- Of course, closed source, because security

He was perfectly fine to surrender his CEO position at Tesla (and any position of power in any other company he is in) in order to get rid of this "ability". He did not.

Certain positions of power just come with the ability to ruin your life in seconds. Some even can ruin the life of others in milliseconds. You cannot cushion these people from these facts. If they cannot deal with that, they should surrender the power. The concept is called responsibility.
Thank you, I may have a bad understanding here.
To be fair I contacted them after this incident because exchange rate shifts plus fees meant I lost money even after they unwound their transaction, and they immediately credited me the difference rounded up. No "please send us proof" no blaming someone else. Just money in the bank immediately.

In the past, I used Grafx2 (https://pulkomandy.tk/projects/GrafX2) for 'beadifying' an image. It can reduce color palettes to powers of 2 (2, 4, 8, ...), then provides a count of each color in the image. This way, I knew precisely how many beads I'd need (useful when certain colors were in limited supply, and as a checksum).

I'd match these colors as closely as possible to my beads, count them out, and start laying - using the on-screen image as a guide.

Your tool is better, of course ;-)

If your concern is about manually updating a lot of clusters, then there are many providers (GCP, AWS, DO...) offering managed solutions which most likely will handle the updates for you.
That won't be of any comfort, but I'm exactly the same as you.

My Twitter history is just a long litany of complaints to companies that updated by their products by downgrading them, usually by:

- breaking the product entirely (Apple Preview.app)
- removing useful keyboard shortcuts (Excel)
- changing the UI with no going back option (Gmail)

… and the UI changes usually boil down to: more whitespace, because those products are getting influenced by their mobile phone versions.
I'm still using my mid-2012 Asus laptop that was like €1300 at the time.

I did buy a few upgrades since then (16GB RAM, bigger SSD, new battery) but given that I don't do any gaming, there is very little that a new purschase would get me.

So this is definitely not a Mac-specific thing.
Well, that puts the opposite conclusion at the start.
Kubernetes already has many vendors that provide packaged distributions and long-term support if you want it.

If you use the managed hosting/cloud providers then updates are also automatic and easy.
In practice most people do not run k8s upgrades through a CD pipeline. They are much more conservative about it. This is not a technical issue, just a cultural one mainly. People plan and roll out upgrades. Most organization treat a cluster as a large pet. They would like to avoid upgrading if they can because it's viewed as a risk. Patch releases are not typically an issue, it is minor releases that cause concern.

So every 3 months is too fast for a lot of teams (again, not technical issue, this is culture of enterprise) so they may put off an upgrade. Once you do that the upgrade becomes more risky because there is obviously more change from 1 to 3 than 1 to 2.

What I'm describing is not an issue specific to k8s, this is just a general enterprise infrastructure issue and one of the many reasons enterprises like LTS releases.
This kind of thinking makes sense (Musk is smart, he must make decisions rationally) but it is sort of empirically denied.

>Blogger-hosted blogs vanishing with no trace, no warning, no notification, and no recourse.

Happened to me more than ten years ago. Had a blog on blogger. Wrote completely original stuff - thoughts, rants, one or two tutorials and had a small but growing following.

Then I went to back to college and stayed completely offline for a semester. On getting home, my blog was closed.

Google gave zero explanations why. Just an error message that said the blog was closed and would be unavailable for further use.

Not only that, my Gmail account was blocked too.

What is baffling to me is the length that some HN commenters will go to to tear down people like Elon and Steve Jobs.

Maybe you don't like him, maybe you don't like how much attention and praise he gets. But to be so dismissive of what those companies have accomplished with him at the helm, to me is just unwarranted bitter negativity.

In your mind, what companies are doing staggering heart-breaking Copernican-revolution work? What bar must be reached to not be "just applying incremental improvement and economies of scale?" Pretty bleak outlook if pushing the bleeding edge of rocket technology forward is humdrum small potatoes.
The proposed punishment is statutorily allowed for the infraction. Sadly, in this climate, it's not clear whether this is standard operating procedure for this, though, or whether a particularly vindictive response because of some political slight Musk may have committed towards the administration or the SEC.

TBF: the authors concerns were valid, mainly the advertising aspect, which later Google obviously addressed.
I think there are three groups of people:

1) Short sellers. Short selling, as opposed to simply investing in a stock, is something that requires significant resources to begin with. Take these people with resources and acumen, and now given them a multi billion dollar incentive to see Tesla fail. You create a major motivator for people to not only speak negatively but to do all they can to try to foster and drive negative sentiment towards the company and Musk. This group of people are the main reason Musk has a problem with short sellers. Shorting is not bad, but the twisted incentive structure created by substantial shorting is. This group is made doubly effective by the fact that Tesla has chosen to keep with the strategy of a $0 marketing budget.

2) Useful idiots or trolls who simply enjoy attacking people without much of any consideration for facts or data. These individuals are already ubiquitous on the internet and unknowingly work as tools for #1.

3) People who genuinely feel Tesla is not headed in the right direction and would do better with different leadership.

---

In my opinion, the largest group by far is #2 followed by #1, distantly followed by #3. The problem is that #2 is a really really big group. They almost certainly already outnumber, by far, the entire population of people that go out of their way to speak positively of Tesla. So you end up with a perceived mass negative sentiment, even when in reality it's not really supported at all. E.g. - recently there was a motion to find a different CEO and it was voted down by an 83.5% margin. Another issue here is that Musk has decided to point out the awful behavior the media, which has also turned them against him. For instance on that vote I mentioned, reuters instead of reporting the result chose to run an article, "BlackRock voted to replace Tesla's Musk with independent chairman" with the numbers given, without percentages, in the article body.
