I'd happily attempt a startup/side-project that offers an API for non-tracking advertisements, but I don't think there's space in the market. It'd be very difficult to compete with the existing incumbent advertisers.
It sounds like you missed the point of the article.

You can't take the ink out of the water, once it's in. When you sell your autonomy over a product whose properties give your life meaning, you pour the ink. Even more painful if that product then turns around and comes to represent values opposite yours.

Short of a buyback, which in this case is off the table, there's no sum that rectifies the regret of lost opportunity and the turning of the thing you built against you.

It's a hair callous DHH to be so direct about it, but as an observation, it seems sound – Acton appears to be a distraught billionaire when he might have been a sound-sleeping millionaire.

Perhaps that's not a trade worth making.
Of course a CEO "manipulates" the stock with every other word. But the words, especially ones expected to greatly affect the stock price, have to be accurate. Investors would lose confidence in the market (and thus not invest, hurting the economy) if CEOs can do things like troll about buyouts. The SEC exists to protect against these shenanigans and is right to take action if Musk trolling is indeed the case.
you can’t disrupt or otherwise show up all of these players: the us/eu/russian/chinese space industries (and by extension the governments of china and russia), the oil industries of russia/saudi/usa, the major auto manufacturers, power companies, professional car and truck drivers, and the us dealership association (what am i forgetting), all of whom are politically very well connected, and some of whom have their hordes of paid shill internet commenters, and upvoting/downvoting bot nets (not that that would ever happen on hn (and if it would it’s against hn rules to suggest it)) and expect not to get trounced. elon might have fucked up by sending that tweet, but the response here, on reddit, and by the gov’t is way out of proportion, esp considering everything positive that this man has accomplished and is currently working on.
In addition to causing a short squeeze, his tweet also swung the options prices unfavorably for the time-bound put holders.

It makes sense not to charge for something that is not your core product and drives the customers to your core product, when that something is a low-margin business, and your core product is a high-margin business.

Actually I don't thinks it's so surprising, the 90s did not have tracking and companies have survived and grown.

But tracking is probably +5x more profitable minimum, while Vivaldi or Mozilla might get some $1/user Google probably makes $5-$15/user. And the reason of all the tracking and why companies fight so hard against legislation that try to cut their cash cow.

I have to completely disagree with you on Elon not giving credit to others. If you have closely followed Elon Musk, ( please check his videos on youtube) even during unveiling Tesla’s new models you will find irrefutable evidence on how he credits his other team members , especially reiterating that people just think its just him but there are many others behind him who do the amazing stuff.
Fair enough. I totally get it with a drill. I just go with Ryobi on cordless and it's been good though for my purposes.

That being said I dont mean to minimize what Musk or the teams he has assembled have done. The first 90% of the work toward a new innovation is 90% of the work, then the last 10% is 90% of the work.

Tesla Model 3 is the most efficient and best quality electric vehicle I've seen. I've owned one for over 6 months now, and early on it was glitchy and needed a lot of software updates, but for the last 3 months it has been extremely rock solid stable, and I'm pretty certain this car will have great longevity. Not to mention, perfect 5 star ratings in safety from NHTSA.

First, I don't like Autosteer (autopilot), as I think it is a little too sloppy because highway lane paintings are not very good in some places. It does much better when tracking a vehicle in front, but I prefer to be in control because it gets a little scary for me personally when I'm traveling 1 foot away from adjacent vehicles and going around a curve and expecting the car to steer for me... This is mostly a personal thing for me - I prefer to be in control of my own fate... you might feel differently.

That being said, I love the Traffic Aware Cruise Control (TACC) - it's light years ahead of any other manufacturer, as it uses the Tesla computer vision system.

What it does that is really amazing is that you can set the speed to +10 (which is what I do) and with one flick of the steering wheel paddle once you get on the freeway it will set your maximum speed to 75mph (in a 65mph zone; +10) and it uses the computer vision system to determine when it needs to slow you down due to a vehicle or obstacle in front of you.

The amazing thing is that because it uses a computer vision system, it is smart enough to not brake when a vehicle is directly in front of you but you are going around a curve so you will never actually hit the vehicle. In other words, it keeps your maximum speed, with safe following distance, no matter what type of strange curve or oncoming traffic might normally fool it into emergency braking.
Agreed, longform journalism well-done is extremely satisfying.
Because there is always a risk. It is a risk/return question.

The risk is if Elon musk could be a misleading liar, and the return was 20%. Well the end result is that Elon musk is a manchild who deserves books thrown at him by SEC and DOJ.

The risk of identifier collisions with itemgetter seems really low. I've never had a problem with

from operator import itemgetter
sort(values, key=itemgetter(2))

The main problem is the effort of typing the import, but last time I checked itemgetter performed a bit better.

To me it depends on what I'm writing. If it's a library where performance will matter then it's the itemgetter approach. If it's a script it will be the lambda.

Well, it's also that the "web app" push only ever concerns itself with features never with performance.

You'll frequently see things like "native apps can do X, so the browser should, too" where X is camera, opengl, files, etc...

Not necessarily wrong, but you basically never see anyone pushing the boundaries of performance. I can run games at native resolution in excess of 100fps all day long, but I can't scroll a fucking web page at 60fps? And the round-trip communication with a webworker, the only mechanism whatsoever to leverage the other 75-95% of the system's CPU, is measured in 100s of microseconds to milliseconds?

Being an app platform isn't just features, it's also getting the fundamentals to perform well. And the web just... doesn't.
The only countries I could see Tesla moving to, if this plan is followed, are China, Russia, and North Korea. Obviously lawsuits would be the least of their problems if this occurred.

If they picked it out and bought it, yes, obviously.

However, there are a lot of products sold that perform selected tasks that run on preconfigured raspis with the consumer none the wiser. Kodi boxes, emulation kits, scientific plug-and-go kits, and much more.

I have been offered or asked about things running on raspi hardware on many occasions by people who were none the wiser to what platform they were using, and we recently had an event where we gave out around a hundred of them preloaded with run-once synchronized software for an event. How many of those people knew for certain they were holding Raspberry Pi Zero W boards with pared down Linux kernels? None.

They're a lot more commercial and common than a handful of snarks with downvotes realize, and OP doesn't deserve to be punished for that.
How is that even possible? How does it capture keystrokes (unless you mean Google searches where each key is sent for autocomplete). How does it break SSL?
In this case, having a distributed botnet of Pis at people's houses would make sure you didn't get IP blocked by Facebook, since there are also legitimate users at that IP. Facebook probably would not block it, and even if it did unplugging and plugging back in the modem is enough for most residential gateways to get a new external IP.
I have done this a few times for large parts of a projects.

Much more common, however, is overriding styles at the component level, which gets funky with this approach.

You either have to add JavaScript logic to assemble the appropriate class names or you wind up with a situation where elements have classes that conflict with their styles, because they are overridden. Imagine something with .text-purple, where the text is clearly not purple.

You just said that Musk memorized several textbooks... Idk what kind of source can bail you out of that one. Probably discredits the source if anything.
Totally talking without thinking about it too much here:

The classList API makes modifications to the class property very easily.

You'd be essentially limited to one identifier in attribute selectors. You can't really select from multiple identifiers with a data attribute without doing like:

[data-hover*="foo"]

which would search for "foo" anywhere in the attribute, which could mean incorrect substring matches.

Chaining attribute selectors would be rough too:

[data-hover*="foo"][data-hover*="bar"] {}

vs

.foo.bar {}

Out of curiosity, I specc'd out a Thinkpad T480 as close as I could to the base model MBP, and they are reasonably similar in price (the Thinkpad is $2100 to the MBP's $2400).

Thing is, if you drop a few upgrades, such as dropping the CPU speed by a few percent, dropping the dGPU, going to a 1080P screen, and using a SATA instead of NVME drive, you're down to $1400 for largely minor decreases in performance and capability (none of those things would affect my use cases appreciably, you might be different). Apple doesn't give you those options in a MBP, and the standard MacBook is pretty outdated, topping out at an old dual core i7.

I'm currently looking for a lawyer to pursue a lawsuit against Coinbase. It's been over a year, and I still haven't received my bitcoin cash, which was previously in a multi-signature account at the time of the split. I had tried to retrieve my bitcoin before the split, but it took several months because of a delay on Coinbase's part. Coinbase has failed to act despite sending multiple messages over the past year, and they have recently become completely unresponsive.

If anybody is interested in joining the lawsuit, please message me to see if we could join efforts.
This should be the top comment. I absolutely feel the same about Elon. We need him in this world to save us from ourselves.
Virtuality is arguably only less real in terms of its very dependence on the Real, in that you cannot you have virtual worlds without the physical worlds that generate and power them.

I think as we go along, a lot of Baudrilliard's ideas that seemed radical in the 1980s are becoming inert, as they are so ingrained in our everyday experience (eg, hyper-reality, the simulacra, etc). At least in this iteration of the technology. Moving into mass-scale mixed reality environments will be an entirely different proposition.

Policy push for consumer product longevity
It costs a few thousand a year already for their paid service.

Most orgs are already touchy about virustotal. I wonder if google is just being naive about this. Bigcorps take liability much more seriously than infosec,better to have the entire AD forest compromised than get sued for sharing PII with google.

Forgot what it was but they had an android offering for enterprises that crashed and burned because they wanted to sync your AD with their service.

I would feel like an incredibly naive and wishful person if I considered Google's continuous privacy 'blunders' anything but intentional malice.

YMMV. I think they need to respect their users much more.
Big companies deal with this too. The solution is golden handcuffs - create a vesting or well-defined bonus schedule that incentivizes them to stick around. At the very least, offer them a signing bonus that they have to return if they leave of their own volition in less than a year
I was just commenting to my wife how remarkable I find it that my 2012 Macbook Pro 15 Retina is meeting all my needs as a software consultant. I used to think 3 years, maybe 4, was the useful lifespan of a high-end machine for daily professional use. In a few months it'll be 7 (seven) years old. It has 3 or 4 dead pixels, but everything else about it is working flawlessly. Maybe they don't make em like they used to, but man have I gotten my money's worth out of this one.
> I challenge you to see a typical model flying at 250ft feet with anything not using a telephoto lens, even on a clear day, unless you already knew where it was

Do you think you could identity a drone moving at 50 feet using a video camera that recorded as 640x480? Because approximately the same number of pixels would by used on a 4k capable video camera at 250 feet, and that's before any optical zoom at all. As long as you can identify something moving, it can be zoomed in on and classified (either by the same camera or a secondary one dedicated to the task), or just give the camera more pixels and use digital zoom. A few of those in a cluster would cover an area quite well I think.

For another way to think of this, an object that is 8" (assuming a 12" drone at an angle) should appear to be a quarter the size of the moon to the naked eye at 300 feet.[1] I don't think that's something a good quality camera should have trouble picking up.

1: http://www.1728.org/angsize.htm, input angle in minutes 7.5, size .666, using their example which says the moon appears to be about 40 minutes in angle size.
Maybe if Elon had sold stock this would be in the realm of possibility.
He may have not insider traded but market manipulation is also a crime. It is on record that Elon was looking to hurt short sellers and making materially false statements about the company can be easily argued to be a criminal act used to do so.

> Even if you have 4 people in your family, do they all need separate rooms

“Need” is a flexible term; it's clearly possible for people to survive without any rooms. But, yes, there's plenty of reason to believe that there are benefits to having a private space.

But most likely a four-person family with a 4-bedroom house has two adults sharing the master bedroom, two children with their own rooms, and a guest room and/or office.

> and what is the probability that they all need to pee at the exact same time?

Hopefully, close to zero, since your hypothetical still has fewer bathrooms than people. But multiple restrooms.

But, it's actually quite likely that multiple people will be using bathrooms for either elimination or bathing at the same time, particularly in the mornings.

(It's also somewhat likely when entertaining, which is one of the reasons people want large houses.)
