Being right or wrong is not a 100% thing across all subjects.

It's not Apple that's responsible for building rail, for zoning for apartments, it's the city. The city itself is not responsible for Apple's success either, and many of the residents would rather that Apple had never been sited in Cupertino so they wouldn't have to deal with all those other people.

That's the problem with Cupertino; a bunch of people moved there and changed it, and thought, "now that I'm here it's finally perfect and we shouldn't let anybody else in." That type of planning attitude, of "build it once and never let it change," is not something that's succeeded ever in the history of mankind. But we'll see how long it lasts this time.
I thought the original deal included a ban on being a public company officer/director, and the new one was restricted to Tesla. Matters for SpaceX, which might go public, and which I hope he cares a lot more about than a car company.

PG’s definition is only one, very VC-oriented definition. I think a layman’s definition would be a new for-profit organization started to solve problems, likely but not exclusively, using technology to do so.
Interesting. Thanks!

There is so little information about the Infinite Polygon Engine that my comment above is now the #1 Google search result for "Infinite Polygon Engine" (with quotes), even above that Eurogamer article. Without quotes, my comment is only #2. :)
Hmmm, I just tried to install emacs on windows. With all dependencies is 210meg! Tried installing vnc on Ubuntu following commonly found instructions. Required installing 119 packages (each of which is likely built from several libraries). I also tried building smb from source. It required tons of dependencies to be installed. Is npm actually any worse than any other environment?
As opposed to working them to death and requiring that they are able to stay awake all the time? Yes.

At least they realize the employees are still human.
Bring on FALC! Fully automated luxury communism. This, or simply the push for more free time for everybody, is one of my life goals. Kinda my main goal actually.
Some bootloaders can be really simple. Here is one I wrote recently for my security key product (this particular code is for an ARM M3).

Like what others mention, it really depends on documentation from the vendor for the chipset you're working with. I mainly copied and pasted code from a form post by the vendor.

And of course link to the security key product :)

If you come from a large majority of US jobs, you might actually enjoy the conditions you receive here.
The current method integrates with both init scripts and systemd. You shouldn't need to manually pass any of that information. Also, the -x option is not required if you are running HAProxy in master/worker mode in which case sending a SIGUSR2 to the master process would be sufficient. With that said, we do have further improvements planned for an upcoming release. Stay tuned :)
That was the threat the SEC put in their public filing after Elon/Tesla turned down the first offer.
I can absolutely get euphoria while pushing myself to the limit (I don't bike or wear Lycra, though.) I don't know if I have the free energy to smile in those moments...
Awesome! It seems such thin and/or light fonts are okay to read on retina displays (which is where I assume they were tested) but not on other displays. I happened to be reading on a non-retina display.
I personally think the additional bandwidth requirements would be rather large... I still don't get why they wouldn't optimise this (but would, for example, optimise all their icons into a CSS sprite)
So, basically, you're saying that the supercharger network has no value for anyone because you own a Leaf?

I can’t begin to imagine the mental confusion necessary to lead you to that conclusion. To be clear, no, that’s not what I said at all.
The article's fundamental argument is that using any separate service to sign in is a problem, and doesn't really distinguish between signing in with Google or signing in with Facebook, yet many products with a huge need for security (protecting PII of users) that I'm familiar with use Google sign-in. That seems to indicate a fatal flaw somewhere, either in the writer's understanding of Google sign-in, or the assumptions most companies are making about security.
What are your requirements? What do you want the system to do for you?
My friend Timo Ellis has a new song called "Serfs Up" (All Night Wrong) that makes a fitting soundtrack to this article. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1015708577141438...
I read (circa 2000) that IBM's product development processes would need nine months to ship a product that was just an empty box.
None of the tricked journals appear to be "leading" in any meaningful way. This mostly looks like a non-story.
Why did you ask just for a 3X increase instead of 12-20X?

If you don't value what you did, why should your employer?

Also, why should an employer raise your salary based on the fact you are automating stuff? It's part of your job, after all. That's what programming is about.
Thank you, that was a great example of a critical review. I need to find my Igon Values.

Well, a lot of major cities in Asia have already solved this by either changing how they handle the public garbage pickup requirements (e.g., Korea has special bags for regular trash and organic trash you need to purchase, else the garbage collectors won't take it), and also doing more frequent/regular pickups and having you sort your trash in order for it to be accepted. In my short time in Korea, just knowing you have a direct cost on the trash by means of the bags changes how you shop and produce garbage.

I don't think this is something you need an app for. Maybe the city can use it to manage notifications, but they could do this just as easily through free SMS or through a unified public announcement system/site. It doesn't seem like something looking for disruption, except for those who want to needlessly introduce a middle-man into garbage collection.
> You know how sometimes you love an article so much that you are annoyed you didn't write it?

I love this article because it changed my mind. I was one of the redditors who urged FiletOFish1066 to fess up to his employers on the basis of some moral high ground I felt I occupied. I see now that I made the mistaken assumption that work == goodness and went on from there.
In my experience Colorado has been a great place to practice mediocrity.

I hit a major plateau in climbing about four years ago after hitting 5.12d in the gym and 5.11 lead outside. No matter what I did, I could never seem to push past it and I quickly recognized that without a serious climbing-focused training program it just wasn't going to happen. Slowly but surely this lack of progress drained the fun out of the sport for me, and after a minor injury I stopped completely.

Fast forward a few years, I get into mountain biking. The same thing starts to happen. I become focused on speed, distance, difficulty, and anything else quantifiable. Thankfully after my experience with climbing I was able to put the breaks on that type of thinking.

Now when I go out I purposefully do not record my time, my distance, my heart rate, or anything else. No Strava. No Runkeeper. Nothing. The only measure of progress I allow myself is how much sustain I have over the course of a ride. And even that I will sometimes purposefully ruin by taking breaks I do not need.

And surprise -- I am having an absolute blast, my skills and endurance have skyrocketed, I'm riding trails I never imagined I would, and it's all because I go out with the intention of having fun and not setting a new PR.
No? Mishima committed actual suicide, this is a quote by someone metaphorically describing the 'strategic plan' of the board, rather than 'this move'.
also interesting is the debt graph's y axis does not start at 0 to make the effect more dramatic
It's silly. A security flaw could exist in any other oauth provider, or password manager. I bet Facebook handled the incident better than many others in the industry would have.
Do you know of any worthwhile patent as in general enough to be reused in a different chip but advanced enough to be a current blocker and not replaced by another technique or is it just to protect i686 proprietary elements ?
Could you share some reading material about your MTA example? I've never heard that before.
Posted by Telegram's founder Durov on his channel:

Some tech media reported that the Telegram Desktop app wasn’t secure because it “leaked IP addresses” when used to accept a voice call.

The reality is much less sensational – Telegram Desktop was at least as secure as other encrypted VoIP apps even before we improved it by adding an option to disable peer-to-peer calls. As for Telegram calls on mobile, they were always more secure than the competition, because they had this setting since day one.

During a peer-to-peer (P2P) call, voice traffic flows directly from one participant of a call to the other without relying on an intermediary server. P2P routing allows to achieve higher quality calls with lower latency, so the current industry standard is to have P2P switched on by default.

However, there’s a catch: by definition, both devices participating in a P2P call have to know the IP addresses of each other. So if you make or accept a call, the person on the other side may in theory learn your IP address.

That’s why, unlike WhatsApp or Viber, Telegram always gave its users the ability to switch off P2P calls and relay them through a Telegram server. Moreover, in most countries we switched off P2P by default.

Telegram Desktop, which is used in less than 0.01% of Telegram calls, was the only platform where this setting was missing. Thanks to a researcher who pointed that out, we made the Telegram Desktop experience consistent with the rest of our apps.

However, it is important to put this into perspective and realize that this is about one Telegram app (Telegram Desktop) being somewhat less secure than other Telegram apps (e.g. Telegram for iOS or Android). If you compare Telegram with other popular messaging services our there, unfortunately, they are not even close to our standards.

Using the terminology from the flashy headlines, WhatsApp, Viber and the rest have been “leaking your IP address” in 100% of calls. They are still doing this, and you can't opt out. The only way to stop this is to have all your friends switch to Telegram.

Looking to try out Kubernetes, will definitely give this a try.

Although the article starts with kind of a strawman (Kubernetes is robust section): you could do most of those with Docker (and compose) or with a non-containerized setup altogether?
Part of the problem is that to effectively automate a task or series of tasks you need to fully understand what is being done. The person currently doing this knows what they are doing (you would hope), and may understand why they are doing it (this is not guaranteed).

In many cases, what somebody does (and why) is not documented, or if it is the documentation is most likely out of date and inaccurate.

To effectively automate a task, you need to fully understand what needs to be done as well as have the skills to do the actual automation. Getting somebody in who is unfamiliar with the job, can work, but in most cases you will end up with an off the shelf system that has been customised to perform the original task but come with a large overhead of maintenance that may take more work than the original task.

My suggestion would be that rather than get an outsider to create the automation tools, up-skill and authorise the staff doing the work now to allow them to gradually automate the process. Make sure you make it worth their whiles to automate.
This seems awesome. I love the automated way to update Cloudflare DNS addresses via a trigger from the Kubernetes informer API.
Then I'm glad you have escaped from all those problems :)

BTW: The population is the total number.
as is too often the case, i would recommend the book much more highly. i thought the show was well executed (especially the attention to historical detail) but, without disclosing too much, they really threw out the slow burn and unworldly creepiness of the nemesis that i really enjoyed in the original, as well as the usual stuff like compressed character arcs.

You’re “hiding” an important aspect: you know that the two programs are equivalent, i.e. for all inputs they return the same output.

This is something an algorithm can’t do.

If you have a given set of equivalent algorithms and you know their complexity, optimizing is somehow easier (though you can still get into
complexity issues).
It looks like it isn't surprisingly affordable on Amazon. If I'm reading this right, EKS is 20c an hour per cluster, or about $150/month, and that's before EC2 costs for the actual machines in the cluster.

There is no shortage of boring automotive companies to invest in if that's what they want.

Invest in Musk if you believe the future won't happen fast enough if you don't. A corporate board making all the decisions would have been long ago crushed by big oil or bigger manufacturers, or their patents bought and buried to continue the status-quo.
Take a tour sends me to a video.

As someone who entered the Internet more than half a life I assumed it would be a a screenshot tour, maybe with animated gifs.

Like many others here I can't stand videos so I left that page immediately and slightly disappointed. I was not able to glance another place to find what I looked for either (screenshots and text explanations).

By all means, -keep the video, some people seems to prefer them but

- use a less confusing link text ("Watch a screencast tour" or something that indicates that this is a video)

- if you care about people like me: add a single page with images, possibly animations and text.

Like rEFInd and System boot and even the inbuilt UEFI firmware of most manufacturers.
Both settlement offers included Musk stepping down as chairman for a period, but being able to remain as a director.

The suit filed after he rejected the first settlement included the threat of banning him from serving as a director.
Like rEFInd in the sense that it replaces rEFInd. The kernel itself can be executed by the firmware directly as an EFI application.
Let’s be extremely clear here:

That’s fucking crazy. Musk is acting like a crazy person.

Financial regulators are extremely dangerous. They’re vindictive when spurned, have unlimited resources to fight it out, and are absolutely willing to string you up to prove a point.

Rejecting a sweetheart deal and forcing your board to fight is nuts. Pride goeth before...
> Empirically, the argument that raising the minimum wage would close these warehouses has an extremely low prior probability. Amazon's warehouses exist where they do because Amazon's customers exist where they do.

That determines the region, not the town. Equalize the labor cost and the optimal location may move significantly, e.g. to border the city from a different side. It would tend to move it from an area with low labor costs to an area with higher labor costs (and therefore cost of living) but closer proximity to customers or transport infrastructure. And making 50% more in a town with double the cost of living is no raise.
Ob: I know nothing. But the way I look at it is: what is the difference between a point and infinite space? Taken from the perspective of light (travelling at the speed of light), the universe is still a single point. That is, the size of the universe is Lorenz contracted to zero. It also takes zero time to go from one end to the other ;-)

From the perspective of light, what is the difference in the universe at the instant of the big bang and some time after it? Well... potentially nothing. The structure of the universe only makes sense from within the context of the universe itself. The space of the universe only makes sense inside the universe. The time of the universe only makes sense inside the universe.

It's not the case that the big bang exploded material into empty space. The amount of energy/mass in the universe has never changed from the perspective of the universe.
The big bang is the distinction of structure in the universe. What is the difference between a point and an infinite space of uniformity? When an infinite space of uniformity loses absolute uniformity, what happens?

Why did the universe not collapse into a singularity? Because it was already a singularity. It would require some kind of structure in space in order for a "collapse" to make sense. As soon as the structure is created, it is no longer uniform, and so it will no longer collapse uniformly - especially if space is expanding at the same time. I suspect there are several black holes at the "centre" of the universe, but I can not think of a way for all the matter to collapse into a singularity.
In the same way that recording your interactions with the police is protected.
This makes no sense to me. If the reporting is correct he screwed up by sending the Tweet without having an actual deal or planning in place.

I’m hugely inspired by the guy and think he’s brilliant to the point of being a bit of a fanboy, but I also think everyone should have to follow the law and play by the rules even if they are brilliant.
Slightly recommended: The Terror by Dan Simmons. I did not really think it was great, but it is an interesting alternative take on the Erebus-Terror disaster.
$10m cash is absolutely not spare change for someone as leveraged as him, ditto for Tesla.
This should be temporarily as it shows (IMO) an extreme misunderstanding of the GDPR:

- by default they are not allowed to collect more data than strictly necessary.

- additional collection must be opt-in, and there can be no punishment for not opting in.

- showing these dialogs that are opt-out seems like a way to beg for a fine: "We hereby declare to all our visitors that by default we collect way more information than we are allowed to."

I believe that this article is meant to invoke horror and show how artificial the penthouse and the industry it upholds by using words like "picture perfect" or "spotless". Personally, I'm all for it because the penthouse is just another step to making professional looking shots more accessible and attainable for the average person. As the article notes: "some were even booking hotel rooms or making covert visits to furniture stores to get their work done."

Instagram is no longer a platform for uploading amateur photos. It's become its own industry now and we should be treating it as such, and not just shaking our heads.

I think a different way to express this problem is comparative measurement vs absolute measurement.

If you can make a good chair, you can make a good chair. It shouldn't be too relevant that someone else somewhere can make a good chair.

The same is much harder to see, but is true for more sports-style activities. Someone who's decent at a sport is still worth respecting, in my view.

But somewhere down the line we removed the "decent", "pretty good", and "respectable", and replaced it with "sucks", and removed all motivation to get to those levels. Now you're either the best or you don't count.
Didn’t his ex-gf mention he was on acid during the “funding secured” fiasco?

Is Elon Musk really an asset that Tesla needs to hold onto? I'll admit that he's a great salesman; but he's also a spoiled child who throws tantrums when he doesn't get his way. If Tesla wants to be taken seriously as a car company -- rather than as a maker of toys for people who have too much money on their hands -- they might well be better off calling his bluff.
Well that totally doesn’t sound like someone with a personality disorder. /s

I’m fairly sure that history will almost instantly forget them, because they exist to be disposable, to be replaced, and as interest and attention moves on their “mark” on history will be exceedingly shallow. Maybe that’s the difference between this constructed “reality” and... reality. Something real can be lasting, while this cotton candy version of reality only seems substantial from a certain angle, for a little while. It’s a kind of shallow “reality” for shallow people with minuscule attention spans.
Most companies are making incorrect assumptions about security everyday.
At the same time, I have read from people making the transition from IC to manager that it's a mistake to hold on to your technical work. Surely this will vary from person to person, company to company, and team to team, but I find it hard to believe that people with 10-15+ years of professional dev experience are best utilizing their skills sitting far away from the code; at the same time, they can't get too focused on it and ignore their management responsibilities.

I wonder how much of it has to do with team sizes. I feel like a 4 person team (inclusive) would be ideal for a manager who also wanted to act as a technical lead and contribute a moderate amount. Any bigger, and the scope of what your team does, as well as the amount of time needed to devote enough time to all your employees, starts to get too big for you to contribute at a technical (e.g. source code) level. Yet we continue to take great technical workers and put them in this weird PM-hiring-HR-architect mixture of a position where they barely continue to leverage their skills anyway
