If someone profiles you as a threat, you cannot generally redeem yourself by your subsequent behavior. Confirmation bias is very powerful. I was stopped once and before I had a chance to say or do anything, the officer decided that I was too quiet and therefore "nervous" and things cascaded from there. But it's not as though I changed my personality in order to avoid being treated badly. What I did do was grow out of being a skinny young male and driving across the country. You can't grow out of some visible categories though.

TLDR; MOOC model isn't working well in the sense that 90-95% of students dropout because (1) when students gets stuck, the flounder (2) without classroom peers there is no pressure (3) deadlines are important to keep motivation.
Just some friendly advice. When you're referencing stuff elsewhere on the web do it like this:

[1] https://trunkbaseddevelopment.com/

[2] https://continuousdelivery.com/

[3] https://cloudplatformonline.com/2018-state-of-devops.html

This means the links are clickable. Using the code indentation thing you did there causes all sorts of grief for mobile device users.
Well the manager could decide that the best performance is the people who does their work and don't make a fuss. Those who go to work even when they are sick, do a little extra without expecting compensation. If you reward those "performing" employees you get everyone trying to do the same. The reward then might even be very small but it would be presented as "this year the general pay increase will be 0.69%, but you have broken your back for the company so you will get almost double that, 1.18%". Just to create a divide and something to strive for. Im aware that this is the American Way and as a swede we value the collective more, as a culture. But a divide work force is an obedient work force.
You may be speaking to the HomePod, but the phone is the thing actually running the Shortcut. And the list of Shortcuts actions does not include controlling the music output of a HomePod. I would encourage you to file a bug report with Apple at https://bugreport.apple.com to request the ability to instruct the HomePod to play music.

As for the HomeKit scene, that sounds like a bizarre error to get from a Shortcut.
Just from a metrics geek POV: why didn't they add more stars instead of renorming the scale? Progress in car safety would have been more apparent had the scale gone unchanged.

Definitely tradeoffs with any model of car. I'm hopeful that when I'm ready to get a new car (in another 5 years or so...) that the electric car landscape has changed enough that there's something that ticks more boxes for me. A hatchback really fits best with how I use a car (an SUV would provide most of the same, but be much less fun in the city)
The I-Pace is just starting sales. The EQC is not yet released. You can barely reserve the iX3.

How are these even in the same ballpark as the Model S which has been out for 6 years and the Model 3 which has been selling in decent volume for months?

We have very little data about how production models of these vehicles drive/maintenance/etc.

It will be nice to see some competition to Telsa's Model X but none of them really compete with a Model 3 right now (ie, under $50k base).
Wouldn't the company own the scripts you wrote to automate their processes while you worked there? Sounds kind of spiteful not to hand them over, although I can empathize with your frustration (been in similar situations as well).
The Atari crash was more akin to the .com bubble. Vaporware and no way to tell what was in the bag until you bought it. Video games are a giant mature market dominated by big companies with sophisticated business models. Just like web businesses these days.
Hi HN, co-founder here. We're a team of 3, right out of college, building this for the past 5 months.

Boxware is a web-app that lets you discover, use & collaborate on desktop software in your browser without downloading or installing anything. We do all the heavy lifting so you can access them on-demand - streamed right to your browser. Think Netflix for Software.

In full-screen mode and at 4G speeds, its indistinguishable from using a normal computer.

Fun meta-fact: we built most of Boxware inside Boxware itself. Here's a demo if you're lazy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCTPDSW2NEk
Unions are good for the union members most of the time, and generally bad for everyone else: shareholders, management, customers, etc. I'm not saying that's bad, that's the most obvious position for the union to take, to maximize benefit for itself at the cost of everything else. We don't seem to have any problem acknowledging that corporations do this, but unions, while not technically corporations, operate largely like one.
Oh wow that's a clever shortcut. I didn't realize you could write shortcuts that execute JavaScript in the context of a Safari webpage.
Useless app. They rebranded it recently. It is not deeply rooted with iOs. I gave up a while ago.

Side not: This title is helluva misleading. I thought it is a list of shortcuts for OSX.
You are entirely right that the initial cost is a lot more for the electric car, and comparing it to a cheaper gas car means you have a lot of ground to make up and it not be just a sensible financial decision on that basis. It's not going to be cheaper than a basic cheap gas car that can do the same. Like compare a 15k econo box to the cheapest currently produced long range (330 mile) tesla, which you can see at tesla.com.

I thought you were comparing it to an equivalent 'luxury car' with similar specs like a porsche or bmw. I'd compare an AWD M3 (priced at 63k) with an AWD bmw, priced at about 45k, both plus tax. Before Jan 1 you get a 7500 tax credit; after that you get half the tax credit, 3750 back. So that puts it at about 55k for ease of math. Now you want to get back 10k. Those cars are really really expensive for maintenance, that might get you the money back right there. But your fuel price will be about 1/4 the cost or even greater discount than the gas car. You'll never have an oil change, muffler, etc.

All that Tesla maintenance should be free, and they give you a loaner when they are broken. I got a tesla loaner when my car had it's problem that took a few days to fix. There have been some cars with problems. All things made by humans can break.

You'll be able to trade in the tesla for a decent amount of money but it doesn't make it free. As an example, my S is 3.5 years old and I was just offered half the original price as a trade in towards a model 3 - I decided not to do it because my car is working just fine. This was by far the most expensive car I've ever bought, more than double my previous cars. It's not about saving money, it's just so much fun to drive and there's no more fun tech toy I've ever seen. I can use it to go skiing (roof rack), taken multi-thousand mile trips. And you can do all that with a Toyota prius - that wouldn't be awd like my car so dodgy in the snow, but I could have bought a cheap awd drive. I never thought I'd spend more than 30 or 40k for a car, but my old car was 10 years old and I couldn't resist Tesla once I drove it.

The m3 is a much lower price point than the S. If you really wanted to try a tesla, I'd encourage considering a used S with a 4 year warranty from tesla included. See tesla.com or the third party listing site is better, ev-cpo.com. Since electric cars don't break down like regular cars, it's generally considered okay to drive them up to 100k miles. But you have to check out any used car even if you buy from tesla in person to make sure it is in proper shape. The cars come with an 8 year unlimited mileage for the drive train, increased over the original ones that had like an 8 year 100k mileage drivetrain warranty.
Wow, they both sound a lot like PG! I guess it’s a sign of a true leader when people end up adopting mannerisms and idiosyncracies. Can any YC alumni share information on how much this is the case?
Shortcuts was the most exciting thing from the WWDC Keynote this year, but I still haven't really found a killer use for it yet. But I do have some simple ones, such as a Shortcut I use on an image that prompts me to rename it before triggering the "Save to Files" flow (as Save to Files doesn't let you rename the image before saving).

Federico Viticci over at MacStories.net did post a pretty cool one though, which adds iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max frames to screenshots you take. https://www.macstories.net/ios/adding-device-frames-to-iphon...

I'd love to see a version that just adds the rounded corners and the notch, instead of the full frame, but I'm a bit too lazy to figure out how to adapt his shortcut to do that (the idea being to share a screenshot that represents what's visible on the screen, rather than trying to make it actually look like the phone).
While this is a good thing, it's not nearly sufficient to stop climate catastrophe.
I paid $15.34 for 59 kWh ($0.26/kWh according to the receipt), which at the conversion rate you describe of 3mi/kWh comes out to 177 miles.

Using your example of 32mpg and $3.64/gallon, 177 miles would cost $20.13.

So roughly 25% cheaper for the supercharger vs gas. Bear in mind filling up gas takes five minutes whereas the supercharger took over two hours.

Good point about charging at home overnight though.

You have guns, which leads to the police having military equipment and being more violent. The Swiss also have guns but I haven't seen a lot of news news about mass shootings or police abuse in Switzerland.
bu paying more attention to other employees opinion than mine, have small talks between other team members using their language (not English), also better payment to them
the barrier is there to stop instances like this.
Unions: we think we are getting screwed over and want better pay and a safe work place.

Company: that seem expensive we will shut down and move the capital to another town and try to hire people that will accept this state of affairs.

Company fails

Innocent bystander: how could the union be so evil!?

Can somebody explain why GM would want to provide competitive advantage to its competitor for a fixed price?

Either GM has licensing fees in its future, or the project is proving to be too capital intensive. Or could there be an effort towards a consortium?

Most of the major talent in the field is gainfully employed. I simply do not fully understand the objective of all of this capital raising. I look forward to better understanding the strategy in the rear view mirror.
You can barely reserve a Tesla and the long term quality/maintenance of the Tesla 3 isn't known either. And if you want to compare with the Model 3 then obviously we have the hybrids (Prius, Camry) and the electrics (Leaf, Bolt).

The point is that the idea that the established car manufacturers can't make a decent electric car is ridiculous. They can. In fact they look significantly better than a Tesla.
Right, signing up for a MOOC is basically just a way of bookmarking it. It’s not really any different than how most people don’t buy all the stuff they add to their Pinterest boards.

I don't think civil forfeiture is what people concerned to record police encounters have in mind. That is, I don't expect that video evidence is likely to decide such cases. What, exactly, would you be looking for? In the example you mention, where a sum of cash is seized on the presumption that it's drug money or whatever, the point of dispute (i.e. whether this is a reasonable presumption) will not be settled by video.
Also, unlike the old heavy stack, it should be pretty easy to move forward onto the LTS.
On Android FF it's possible to side-scroll the images at least, but yeah, not on new (iPhone 8) or older (iPhone 4s) iOS+Safari.
I guess, but that means "long term" is ">1 year" now?
"as long as you don't run untrusted JS" is a surprisingly tough hurdle to hit, even for very experienced developers.

What is your reason for preferring JWT + localStorage for authentication and session handling? I'm genuinely curious, as httpOnly cookies strike me as better in every meaningful way.
A traditional set, say a studio kitchen for a food product shoot, is a first level reproduction: the set is a reproduction of a real kitchen; the food shown is a reproduction of real food; and that actor is a reproduction of a real chef. That's all easy enough to see. This apartment though has a second level of fakeness. What it offers is not so much a reproduction of reality as a reproduction of "influencer" life. You go there to take photos of yourself taking photos there. That's one reason why I felt that adult films were an appropriate analogy: porn conveys not only a direct pleasure fantasy but the second level fantasy of being a porn star. I think this second level fantasy may explain why don't care if the first level's fakeness is so obvious.

In this case though, the set is not even a reproduction of anything real. It is just a construction of symbols that recreates what a "trendy millennial luxury penthouse" represents. Maybe not even that since the community itself defined which values a "trendy millennial luxury penthouse" should have and how certain symbols signal those values.

Take millennial pink. It's not a real thing. Millennials do not have some biological attraction to that specific shade. The color started as a way to show that you had a specific set of values, say: uniqueness and authenticity. At some point however the color came to stand-in for these values; I am unique and authentic because I own a millennial pink chaise. Now the color doesn't even convey that so much as the idea of millennial, or more likely some ironic take on the idea.

Influencers make an easy target. My point though was never that influencers are the problem, just as porn is not the problem, rather I think they both capture how we are moving farther towards a hyperreal existence. In my view, the "reality TV" realities they offer are different from more traditional media because they are not just simple reproductions and because, more and more, they are constructed in the air.
So they have plenty of money not to have to choose.

Off Topic but your profile has some kind of key and a visual representation (similar to SSH but not quite) What is that?
The IRS made specific rules for vehicles because of a massive spate of “cars for xxx” charity donation scams. Basically, you could donate a junker car, the charity (more properly, the charity’s contract car donation service, a few companies did this for a large number of sponsor charities) would get you a massively padded appraisal, and then would crush the car and give the charity $50. You got a fat tax write-off, the charity got $50, and the service got the scrap value of the car, minus $50.
The config would be what you might call "guidelines".
The keyword is maximum. Yes, that can't be improved unless our genes have changed substantially in last few centuries. However average has improved substantially. The massive number of diseases that used to kick in before genetically imposed maximum age limit including diabetes, cancer, heart attack, pneumonia etc have gone down significantly bringing average closer and closer to maximum.
I agree with you that they should be much more explicit about this autopilot stuff and the name autopilot is very misleading. The other thing they say on their website (https://www.tesla.com/AUTOPILOT?redirect=no) is this longish quote: "Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available". But I can imagine you are just in the car and you don't have immediate access to that. A normal car's cruise control doesn't steer on most cars, and people don't expect it to. Because of all the hype around teslas its not surprising that you could think it could do all that stuff. But it's not trivial to turn on the autopilot, did you get that from the person who gave you the car? I think they could have explained it.

I'm happy that you were not hurt nor was anyone else. Tesla could be more explicit about this.

I guess it's another thing that you learn from experience, and they do talk about it but it's not obvious but when the car is more full, they charge the batteries at a slower rate, they can only charge them at a rate based on how close they are to full. I know that's confusing, that's just how they work. If you use the trip planner in the car, it will route you through the super chargers and tell you how long to stay at each one and what the likely % of charge will be. I traveled from Seattle to Banff and the superchargers have been placed at a good distance apart so that I never need to charge more than about 75%.

I hope if you ever try another EV that the people renting it to you provide proper instructions so that you can drive it safely.

Huh? Is that a rule? So when a given corporation's GPM drops, they have to give their workers a pay cut?
Why do you think it's basically zero?

To me, it just seems like an (admittedly difficult) engineering problem that we're likely to make a lot of progress on. I'm currently studying biology and it's pretty amazing what humans have discovered in the last ~100 years about how the body works at the atomic level.

As a meta-point, I find it fascinating how nearly completely divergent our bayesian priors are (I think our chances of counteracting all of those forces you mentioned are, on a long enough timeline and assuming we're not destroyed and we have sufficient energy, greater than 90%).
Yep there are heaps of reasons. For example, 'zero hours' contracts are all too common now. You have to be available for a shift, but if there is no work they send you home. (Or if you don't suck up to the supervisor he gives you less hours.) It's an unfair one way obligation.
UK accuses Russia's GRU military intelligence of cyber attacks
Yes, I think Toyota is bad. The S is maybe a little bit better than the 3, but they'll improve the 3. On the S the AC controls are always at the bottom of the screen, touch it at any time and they show up. The tesla isn't perfect, but it's so much more advanced than the competitors. Tesla needs competition so they can get better. Today's model S is the same as the first one I bought in 2012, except for a bit better battery and now AWD is available.

A guided tour of my recent papers on keyboard research
You make a great point. We have to be careful when we design a race to the bottom. We don't let companies do it to themselves, so we shouldn't let them do it to their employees.

There's also the fact that if you are free to choose it, you could also be pressured to choose it. Like companies that give you the freedom to cash out your vacation instead of taking it. It'd be great because not all of us want to go on vacation every year.

But unless there's a mandatory minimum vacation, some employees will be pressured into literally never taking a vacation. Think of Japanese work culture. Top down work-life balance measures are completely ignored because they're not mandatory.
Initial cars will have a reasonably high power consumption requirement. Vehicles with adequate voltage supply will probably have an advantage compared to less sophisticated energy distribution.

Other countries know that we lost our mind as a country and we'll revert to the mean after 4 or 8 years of living down by the river in a van, right? I hope that myself :-) We'll go back to believing in calm international relations based on respect, not whats on tv shows or helps a politician in certain state. We'll go back to being a normal democracy, assuming that our former close allies haven't been destroyed or anything. It'll be ok with our buddy Canada, right?

That sounds like a lawyer question. IANAL, but I can see it being kind of complicated to try and come up with some clever licensing for customers you're not sure you'd like to support. What I've seen some companies so is make the core product AGPL and then offer a separate commercial license. Take a look at the source code for JFrog's Artifactory; I'm pretty sure they are duel licensed (but I'm on my phone & can't confirm at the moment).
Short Story: Ezzy, Philip and Butch
The highest tax bracket in CA is nowhere near 80%. More like 50% (40% federal + 10% state). And appreciated stock held long-term is taxed at the Federal cap gains rate of 20%, so the max is closer to 30%.
We take certifications very serious in enterprise, but it depends on what type of certification and who issues it.

I mean, I get that a swarm of developers are brushing up on sites like coursea, Udemy, threehouse or whatever, but I’ve seen a few of those courses, and a lot of the instructors really shouldn’t be teaching anyone. I’m not sure a coursea certificate would be an advantage, because the quality of coursea isn’t recognized, but on the other hand, I really don’t see how it would be a disadvantage either. If it’s all you got, I probably wouldn’t hire you, but if you’ve got a CS degree and a coursea certificate, I really don’t see why that would ever be negative.

A Microsoft or Cisco certificate on the other hand is valuable and will get you a long way though. On the organizational site, prince2 is also really valuable even though the prince2 way of doing pm is somewhat dated.

To show you just how valuable they are, we wouldn’t hire a network engineer who isn’t Cisco certified and we wouldn’t hire anyone for operations who hasn’t completed a bunch of Microsoft and Azure certificates. Unless we absolutely had to, but then we would enroll you in the courses and get you certified.
I'm a "tech dude" who have struggled with emotional control. I used to think "I don't have that many emotions, I'm so rational" which many heated emails proved wrong. But I have worked hard at recognizing and naming feelings and emotions and trying to figure out where they come from,and I'm doing quite well now I think. So this is something I would have liked in the past but this is just a glaring symptom of a problem of people acting without knowing what feeling is in control. Sad.
