I don't believe this. All those brainwashed Brits have voted for stuff like:

- There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside. (David Davis, 10 October 2016)

- The day after we vote to leave, we hold all the cards and we can choose the path we want. (Michael Gove, 9 April 2016)

- Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy – the UK holds most of the cards (John Redwood, July 17 2016)

- The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history (Liam Fox, 20 July 2017)

- Let’s give our NHS the £350m the EU takes every week.

- A vote for leave will be a vote to cut immigration.
You can criticise them for wanting to leave the EU for poorly justified reasons, however you can't really blame them for the execution.
My whole country is currently subsidising farmers because of a drought, this has been going on all my life, they never save their excess earnings for the hard times and the ones who do get bailed out anyway.
Ask HN: Would Musk's SEC lawsuit still be valid if Tesla goes private?
Now that Tesla stock is down. Wouldn't it be an opportunity for Musk to go private with a big discount. If so, it would prove Musk was for real all along, and the SEC lawsuit would therefore become invalid. What's wrong with these reasoning? Your opinion is welcome, thanks!
It's worth noting that most linux package managers are CLI and their GUI tools suck. It's hard to make a good GUI and App Store is no outlier in that regard. Unfortunate that there's no CLI alternative.
kbfs is a network filesystem, whereas Dropbox provides file synchronization. kbfs does not work when you are offline, whereas with Dropbox the files are always available locally on your machine.
I disagree, because Elon is not a typical CEO, he is a brand.

"nobody died" is the standard now?
couldn’t agree less.

does the author not know that the web standards body have already forked once? it’s not some crushing dictatorship that has no recourse.

broader input from more voices, lay voices, can only make it worse.

not that it matters. the standards bodies don’t really have as much independent control as one would think. the browser makers, ie 3 large companies, internally decide what they want and implement it.

one of them is obsessed with owning user information, another with ecosystem lock-in but with a nod towards stronger privacy guarantees, and the other with catching up. as independent as the 4th might think they are, they are solidly attached to the teats of the others.

No, it doesn't require it.

How well does that work? Do you get full access to the underlying hardware? Can you still access the GPIOs, HDMI-CEC etc? Are there any other downsides to doing this?
So why not strong eventual consistency and CRDTs? As they fit perfectly for such functions running on edge nodes and no silly limitations of 1 write per second necessary.
The SEC is not going after protonmail, but your company. They use legal powers against you. They don't care about technicalities. (Except on the delivery channel for the Gigabytes of data) If you don't comply, they put charges on you.
For some reason Youtube's recommendation algorithm has been pushing me this whole day. Is this the same for you?
Gwynne Shotwell is President/COO of SpaceX. Musk is CEO.
It doesn’t matter what AMD is building. The only thing that matters for Intel is how many products they ship because that’s where the money is made.
I don't think your sarcasm and over reading into ckastner's post is justified, at least not based on that post at all. I remain very appreciative of Elon Musk, and unlike what seems to be the current common thinking I've come to think it's not actually possible to separate out the daring and visionary part of people like him from the "less desirable" parts, though they can be moderated. I think it all tends to go together, and furthermore that the results do in fact largely justify the means.

However, the settlement doesn't sound like a "Kick Out" so much as a 2-year semi-hiatus. I see no reason why it couldn't be agreed ahead of time that he'd be right back in the saddle afterwards, he's remain a major shareholder, and could give his views known even if he had no actual executive power. Two years isn't nothing but it's also frankly just not that long, Tesla at this point shouldn't implode without him for such a short period, in fact it shouldn't even mess up the vision thing either, they've got plenty of very good challenging long term gigantic market stuff to execute on for a few years, hell for five years. It's only longer term that the innovation would become more of an issue.

If anything I really think a forced few years of stepping back from the day-to-day hustle might really do him so genuine good, and it'd have to be forced because that personality type can never stop on their own. Steve Jobs, with a much longer forced outing for real, came back and vastly stronger leader, still with plenty of drive and acerbicness but some of the most impulsive rough edges sanded down a bit as well. From the sound of it under the settlement Elon would merely be on a 2 year break freed from the daily stress and could have a guaranteed return, so free to really work on the vision and plans to bring back with him. Or just go hike and travel a bit and destress a little? That could help too. He's not an old man obviously, he has lots of time, and with no formal legal admission of guilt the long term consequences should be minimal. Plenty of people recognize his accomplishments and wouldn't mind writing off a lot of his current behavior after a brief time.

Maybe doubling down here is itself also an unavoidable part of his personality, and anyone who has dealt with startups much has probably seen plenty of maverick founders who are incredible founders but can't transition as well to different life-stages of a business. It doesn't make them bad, it's just another set of strengths and weaknesses. But I think it's also a genuine blunder which is kind of sad. The SEC is a scary opponent, and here it looks like they really didn't want to bring down the hammer, they offered a disciplining for a genuine fuckup on his part that CEOs just cannot do, never have. And the potential penalties for actual conviction are severe, including not just prison but possibly lifetime bans from C-positions in the related area of business, and Elon would not be able to just wave that away.
"he didn't start Paypal" - What?

Yeah, he absolutely did start PayPal which came out of merger between X.com (the company he founded) and Confinity (the company Peter and Max founded).
It's nice to postulate that the PM and cabinet are some cabal of highly intelligent villains who decided it was simpler to just leave the EU than fix the NHS, but it doesn't line up with reality. Nobody expected the vote to go the way it did, not the guy who called it and especially not the guy who ran the leave campaign.
>I didn't ask a question.

Allow me to rephrase: that disproves your statement, "nobody would invest millions into figuring out the right arrangement of atoms that cures some disease, if there wasn't a way to profit from that."

Everything else is noise.
Yes, Ethereum gave into the temptation of a special case, redacting code-as-law. But there were some users who understood that this can't be done without undermining the whole system as a social contract, so they didn't go along with the fork. The original, One True Ethereum, is still chugging along as Ethereum Classic.

In the 90's this was rare and a big lure for candidates. Now it's table stakes.
There is a difference between a low tier manager telling stuff on day to day business and negotiations during a multi billion acquisition.
I think it's less a calculated act of hostile design and more of a Hanlon's Razor moment; a manager says "It's working so it's good enough. We won't work on that because it's not a priority right now." I don't think the companies have enough time and energy to purposefully implement dark patterns.
Perfectly valid cert for the evil.com domain - someone below pointed out that I flipped the domain names.

In reality the "evil" page would look something like "https://www.login.chase/login?id=DEADBEEF/.evil.com". For a non-trivial number of users, that's enough - "I see the nice green lock, I see chase, and some crazy web address characters that are always there".
The UK can only deny entrance to EU citizens under very limited circumstances, on pain of being dragged through EU courts. Does that sound like sovereignty to you?
Yes, it's a combination of the fact we are living with increased dependence upon space based systems for weather, navigation, communication, defense, etc. And the enormous cost in production and deployment. Tracking space junk and issuing course corrections to orbiting satellites won't scale. As demand for low earth orbit real estate surely will increase with the coming New Space era of zero-g factories, space tourism and myriad other ventures. Clearing space debris is vital to continued exploration and represents an enormous opportunity, not to mention an engaging engineering challenge ;)

The linked bi-directional plasma solution seems really elegant to me. And is feasible even for objects several meters in size. With fewer possible mishaps than say laser ablation.

Yeah, consistency is really the important one. Almost none of my projects in wood are built "to spec". So, as long as the thickness is consistent between boards, the table will be flat, the joinery will match, etc.

Conversely, in metal, pretty much 100% of my projects are built to a plan, since they tend to be parts of machinery/tools/jigs that need to be the reference surfaces. Oh, the money i've spent on measuring equipment. yeesh.
Won't the move to TSMC give China the exact leverage it needs to steal Intel technology like the DuPont discussion we had the other day?

> By the way, he didn't start Paypal or Tesla.

Indeed, this is important to remember - he actively rewrites history to make it seem he founded Tesla, he even bought out the actual founder(s) of Tesla (Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning) so they wouldn't keep bugging people about the fact he / they founded it.
Tesla's board has 9 directors. Barring Musk from the chairmanship doesn't preclude putting a loyalist in to replace him. I don't see how 2/9 non-chairman directors being independent creates a drastic about-face in company policy.
It’s a question of form, generally referendums work by getting the people to accept a text instead of the Parliament. People can argue on what the consequences of the text will be, but not what’s in it. In the UK they voted on an abstract question.
I'm even more curious where this wacky idea that a variety of views is better than a single expert view came from. What's the name for that? It's an oft-repeated "truism" in the West but it's also... crazy. I mean, this is how you end up with Flat Earthers, right?
I'm pretty sure the 100+ hour workweek is a fairytale, the kind of marketing for Elon himself.

Because US media reports only things that have a direct relationship with the US.
Musk was talking about the Saudis - they were the ones who showed interest. The saudis had the money for whatever. It was upto to Musk/Tesla to make it happen.

I definitely think he should have taken the deal. The tweet was reckless.
This needs a date (2001). I was confused for a while why I wasn't seeing this show up in my RSS reader until I checked the date
You’re correct and I apologise - the US does not pay for red cell or platelet donation
How to make a web front end to a FTP server?
I want to implement something like this [1] were clients can login, upload files, make directories, etc.

Couldn't find anything here [2] or after a quick DDG search.

I know how to setup an FTP server, a web server, and how to make a simple web page, but I don't know how to link the FTP server to the web page, basically. Furthermore, I don't know how to do it securely. The goal of the project is to let clients access this service and upload big files (>100GBs) reliably over the internet.

I don't know where to start. Also, I'm new to programming (basic Java experience). Could you guys help me out?

> Fib is the poster boy for tail recursion

But recursive Fibonacci isn't tail recursive. The final function call is to `+` (addition), which means that the two recursive calls must each be put on the stack and later returned so the sum can be computed. Tail recursion requires that there is no final operation other than exactly a single recursive call.
What about the people that would benefit from Tesla's stocks dropping and did a big media push to highlight Tesla cars' shortcomings? It's not normal for a car accident to be in the media for weeks afterwards.
Could take years, per the article.

Yes, that there are commercial compilers for C and C++, products that people actually pay money for.

One of my favorite hacker news comments is:

The 48% is about federal prisons, the 16% is about state prisons. Generally the 'bad' crimes we think of (murder and the like) are state offenses, not federal offenses, which is why you see so many more in the state level for something worse than drugs. Drugs is one of the few crimes punished consistently on both a state and federal level. You could go to federal prison for murder, but it generally requires something special about the case for the state to not handle it.

>So I'd say the parent is right that 16% are in for drugs and would be set free if drugs were legal. The others in that 48% wouldn't be.

Both would be set free. 16% from state prisons, 48% from federal prisons. These are two separate prison populations.

Seconded, I've used Camtasia in the past and it's very user-friendly.

Not sure if it's what the pros use though. Maybe check on bloggers and streamers to see what they're using now.
You're right - technically I don't own TSLA outright. I trade CFDs. I should have made that clearer - my bad.

And of course you have to set your stop losses - that's just common sense, no?

But TSLA is not near zero, so I'm holding the position I've got, because I believe that if Tesla can overcome this hurdle - the price will recover again, because the underlying long term value Tesla produces is immense in my opinion.

And that's my point - what Elon and his companies / teams are trying to achieve is game changing and a big value add to society.

And you did talk about more than one subject in your previous comment - which I've responded to.
Indeed. This is just stage 1 of our storage plans. We have some really cool stuff in the works but we wanted to get basic KV functionality out there for people to start using ASAP.
That's a good point. In fact, you can't cross borders in the Schengen area as an EU citizen unless you show some proof that you are, indeed, an EU citizen - for example, a passport.

Although other documentation, like national ID cards will do, they can cause trouble. I don't know if it's official policy or what, but I travel by land and sea around the EU very often and I've had problems with over-zealous border officials many a time.

For instance, I've been delayed twice at the French border from and to the UK by French officials, who pretended they couldn't determine whether my Greek national ID card is valid (allegedly, because it doesn't have an expiration date; Greek ID cards currently don't) and kept repeating that "if you had a passport, things would have been so much easier, now we have to call a specialist to examine this document" wink-wink, nudge-nudge.

[The funny thing is, I was travelling with my cousin's ID card by mistake, but they didn't realise because we look very much like each other- "specialist" guy, my arse]

So while officially you can travel without a passport in the Schengen area, in practice, you better have some ID.
I'd be interested to see what the rate is if they only counted first marriages.

Anecdotally, it seems many of my Boomer-aged relatives who got divorced ended up getting married again (and possibly divorced again). The idea that you must be married to live together is very ingrained in their value system.

In contrast, those of my friends in the Gen-X / millennial groups seem to be getting divorced in their first marriage at the same ratio as the older generation, but almost all of them do not especially want to get married again, even if they have found new relationships and even had more children.

In other words, is it possible that the serial divorcees of the boomers are skewing the statistics?
Yes, that is one of the models we have been considering.
As ecologist this scare me to death. Yesterday I was wondering where are the predators who didn't fill this "empty niche" on cities? Dragonflies are natural predators on environment but cannot stand urban micro climate. Thinking something will fill a empty niche is a theory. Even "niche" occupation is a theory which is show to not fit many places (amazon basin).

Some consequences are starting to be measured and we're turning our eyes because we don't like bites? I got Dengue in two occasions and I really hate these mosquitos but we must not be innocent to think there is no consequences and nature will solve this for us.

There's a zero chance that holds in court. If it were possible to have a negative chance it would have a negative chance of holding in court.

Data protection does not in any way relate to "ownership" of data.

If the data are personal data then you are forbidden from processing that data unless you have one of seven lawful bases enumerated in the GDPR, and where the data are sensitive then those bases are reduced further.

I had to upvote you just because I plan on getting some mileage out the phrase "YOLO last write wins." It has just the right amount of snark to remind junior developers to not trivialize or discount the value of consistency.
If Intel’s competitors are building better products than Intel, then Intel ships less products or has to charge less for their products. It matters what AMD produces.
Alternatively, people get to the top in part because they where lucky, which makes them more optimistic than they should be.

I think that's because even the std::cout call could be precalculated, so no runtime string concatenation and stream magic is involved.
But is there any reason the Haskell compiler couldn't decide to memoize a function call itself if it determined that it would speed things up? To me that sounds hard for the compiler to do heuristically but a Haskell compiler should still have more scope to do optimizations like that than a C compiler has.
That's rather vague definition. And is also wrong. They obviously can't guarantee global consistency within 10 sec, as that would require consensus which is impossible to guarantee in bounded time and they probably don't even use any consensus algorithm at all, as that would be pointless for a CDN.
Definitely stupid. I want to know what his lawyers think of this. Surely they would have impressed on him the odds of success if it went to trial. How long will SEC case take?
I still struggle with the idea that an infrastructure software version can go out of support within 6 months. I still recall the days where we would wait 6 months on a new version of software, just to let it settle and get its initial patches out of the way.

It's definitely not a realistic measure of overall language performance, but I think it certainly has value if taken with the right caveats. It's probably a reasonably good measure of function call overhead in different languages, and I think it's good for getting a better intuition about the order of magnitude difference to expect from, say, C vs JS (~3x slower than C in simple cases) vs Python (~100x slower than C).
