Everyone anywhere near Elon should do one thing: encourage him to get the hell off Twitter. Social media is bad for everyone, but it seems worse for certain personality types.

Please Elon, quit twitter. Even for a year.

Certainly, that was depicted in the movie Casino for example. Not that I would take a Hollywood movie as any sort of history lesson, but it is demonstrative of that point of view. Taking it as the true explanation for the sake of argument, why does the same thing not happen in Mexico?

On one hand it doesn't necessarily speak to the guy's technical capabilities. On the other hand, I at least wouldn't trust the guy to be principled enough to not pass this stuff over to <insert x group here>. (Especially if it was at the right price.)
I've been on a shared-host IMAP server for 20 years. I use my own domains and Tbird or another IMAP client. The host has excellent spam filtering (spam assassin & procmail) and doesn't spy on me. I even use gmail (but rarely) through an IMAP client. That way I never have to see their web UI.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The technology isn't there. There will never be self driving cars.
If some of these companies still manage to correlate this fake data to you (i.e. you didn't play the game well enough), it might earn you the flag 'untrustworthy' on your profile, and you'll experience the blowback from that.
Oh, right. I guess I did notice the change but sort of seamlessly just moved on. Aside from the sidebar(s), I still honestly don't notice any significant difference.
Bullshit. Facebook capitulated and have access. No doubt. They made backroom deals.

You have a good point, which is that cars have a horrible UI. One of the most important requirements is the ability to brake fast in an emergency, yet the UI requires you to physically move your foot to another pedal before you can even start to brake.

Why don't they change the UI, then? Mostly because of regulations, I think. It's unclear to me whether bringing a new driving UI to the market would be horribly difficult, costly and risky, or just plain impossible.

While you and a million others might not like the new $webapp UI, it's still a good thing that they can and do get changed. Especially in this case considering you can start using any email client anytime if you don't like the web UI.

> Add internal politics where some things which are heavily multi threaded built in staticly compiled languages had to be built in single threaded nodejs because everyone is using nodejs and your language is now banned it's not surprising there's noticeable performance differences, it was certainly predicated early on but they where to caught up trying to be google and using the popular language to hire as many people as possible and terminated anyone raising valid concerns i.e it's slow and node wasn't right.

What languages were banned? This is a very interesting data point.
I think car companies should prevent people from publishing safety or performance analysis of their vehicles. And restaurants should disallow public reviews of their business. (Very few people have the culinary knowledge to properly and objectively assess a restaurant's quality.)

The biggest problem in my opinion is not the new looks, but the degraded performance.

It seems after just opening GMail the website tries to cache every listed email in your inbox. After that is done, it becomes faster. My use case is not to leave GMail open in a tab all the time, so I have to suffer through this caching period every time GMail is opened now.

This, together with the recent Google-China upheaval, is the final straw for me. I've had a GMail account since the beginning, and am now looking into alternatives (ProtonMail, self-hosting).

You're living in a bubble full of fast, pervasive network connectivity, faster computers, and tech savvy, intelligent people.

The world is filled with people with slower connections, slower computers, and people who access their email in a different environment than Chrome on windows. Nearly all of them not a strong minority are adverse to change.

The latest google mail interface which they are on their way to killing so called "inbox" is slower not because it is so feature-full but because its poorly written. On a computer that is reasonably modern click on an email and wait 7 seconds is in a word crap. Inbox is only really designed to run well on chrome and switching browsers to run a single site is like changing religions because you like the other sides hats better.

You know what's comparatively amazing. Viewing email in emacs via mu4e and being able to access information in your mail even when you aren't connected to the internet and reading searching and composing as fast as your fingers and eyeballs work rather than waiting for a slow web only resource.

Via xwidgets it can even render pretty html if you need to.

This really doesn't change the status quo at Tesla at all.

We can armchair quarterback the company all day long about whether Musk is replaceable or not, but short of folks that have direct experience within the company we don't really know. What we can say with some confidence is that if Musk were really removed in any meaningful way the market would crush them utterly within hours. The shareholders want Stark Industries, not some near-insolvent car company with severe production shortfalls and a teetering runway.

> If you have full flexibility, I’d suggest aiming to hit 40 hours on a weekly basis rather than 8 on a daily basis.

I think this is an exceptional answer. I’ve been working as a contractor recently where I am hard capped at 40 hours a week and it’s been wonderful. Work 12 hours one day when I’m in the zone and don’t even think about stopping? Sweet, that’s 4 hours off my Friday afternoon. Can’t concentrate today? That’s fine, I’ll put in some extra time tomorrow.

That’s a major change from my previous position where I felt like I never had a “not at work” mode and there was always more I could do.

I think capping yourself on a weekly basis is valuable because it gives you flexibility on a day-to-day basis while retaining a regular cadence.

Stealing it would be if they block ads and show their own ads(as some blockers seem to do). Providing people who don’t want to see ads with a software that enables them to hide them is a valuable service of it’s own, and i don’t see what’s wrong with charging money for the significant development and ongoing blocklist management effort.

It’s the content providers that need to find ways to get paid for content and the users who need to understand that content needs someone to create it and these people need to make a living. That being said, a lot of content out there is low quality abd even written fir nothing but attracting search engines - creating traffic and views which get paid by advertisers. So there is a psrt of content and providers nobody will want to pay for and nobody will be missing if it’s gone. The people creating that stuff need to find a way to make a living off something that actually somebody wants and needs...
Is it web based though? I am looking only for web based renderers!
I’d propose that you’re wrong - with relocation and visa costs it’s significantly more expensive to bring in someone from overseas. Not to mention it’s frequently 3-4 months after interviewing before they can start, as opposed to 3-4 weeks for a local hire. We hire as many local people as we can, the interview process isn’t any different.

The other aspect of the founders believing in the importance of being able to hire talent from overseas is actually at the higher levels - the local talent pool of managers with 10+ years experience running large SaaS orgs is pretty small, given the industry here is fledgling. We’ve developed our own leaders internally, but there’s no substitute for bringing in an external hire to develop the next generation of leaders.

You don't think anyone uses browsers other than Chrome or wants to access mail faster than 7 seconds to load contents?
Legitimate or not, what the user perceives as problematic may make total sense for the business providing the service. Google (Facebook, Reddit, etc.) is not a non-profit or government agency that acts in the interests of the people. It's a business operating on capitalist principles, so profit is, by design, their main drive (of the business as such, not necessarily of the individuals who work there).

Somehow we insist on treating these mega-corporations as if they are always beneficent, and anytime one of them does something that doesn't align the user's and business interests, there is a storm of complaints like this.

Sure, it would be nice if a mega-corporation always acted in its user's interests, but that's not how the current system works.

Ideally, we'd end up with a system where you just pay a company to host your on-line end-points, keeping all data and the software you use personal, and you have the option to move to a competitor at a moment's notice, keeping all identifiers (like an email address now). Where just not there yet.

A lot of good answers but I'll throw mine into the mix. Assuming I know what the ultimate goal is for what I'm currently working on, the day-to-day becomes working towards what I call momentum tasks for the next morning. The start of the day is when I'm at the highest risk of being derailed, so super easy tasks are paramount. So before I wrap up for the day, I'm making sure I'm stopping at a point where I know - and perhaps am excited - to continue the following day. I never stop at an impasse, personally. That means I can sometimes put extra work in, but generally I come up with momentum tasks quite intuitively. I'll write my todo list before going for a 5k run after work [typically ~5pm to reset my brain for relaxing a bit, and often get ideas for how to overcome larger challenges that comes with the concreteness of thinking about momentum tasks. I find self-set constraints really helpful in my productivity. I am generally a pretty boring person, though, so it suits my personality. Just my 2 cents.

Personally, I find the push to allocating resources based on this kind of data interesting and could possibly be more efficient than the way it has been.

That being said, since these systems are abstraction on debt, the failure mode at the margins means that companies that become reliant on funds from these loans will be increasingly sensitive to people at the margins who will be denied such loans.

I also find it interesting that the public will also have increasingly more access to the data to be able to retroactively understand the factors that determine the go/no go (especially as these systems become increasingly automated). Combined with the above, it will be increasingly possible to create ways to dirty the waters in the signals for a variety of desired outcomes for 3rd party actors.

I am planning to hopefully marry my girlfriend in the next couple of years and her parents are already asking for "at least a small amount like 10,000 USD", because "I'm white anyway", meaning I must be rich.

Taking into account all the abuse she had to take from them, and their lazy and useless way of life, they're not getting a penny from me.

Many people though feel powerless to resist and ruin themselves financially by paying it.
Isn’t that what flattr is about?
neither of these are people "saying" stuff.
> The $40 million in penalties will be distributed to harmed investors under a court-approved process.

Does that mean the people who got their shorts called? That is kind-of the opposite of being an investor. It would be odd if Tesla would have to look after their best interest.
> First reason is that the transaction is more transparent.

Is it? If this concept takes off, these places will be set up for maximum data collection. I don't give consent to use my PII, but the camera in the corner has facial recognition, tracks what I eat, how I eat it, who I am with, etc.

I'll definitely avoid these places.
> The organized crime cartels have many streams of revenue. There's nothing there to legalize in the case of activities like natural resource theft.

True, however with less criminal opportunities due to more legal/decriminalized markets such as ending the drug wars, there are legal market opportunities to offset the draw to black market opportunities, and help stop theft and other crimes by reducing demand providing alternatives to make a safer good living.

Economic opportunities on legal markets need to be safer and comparative or better to the criminal opportunities/markets for any real change to be made.

Theft and any violent crime not related to non-violent markets like drugs that should be legal/decriminalized, those are real crimes that can be pursued as they take other's civil, human and property/ownership rights away.

Would there still be theft and other crimes? Sure but much less so if people had other routes to make money and survive.
Markets always appear next to scarcity, and laws against market operations always drive transactions underground, because supply and demand must be made to meet somehow. Without expressing approval per se of what's happening in China, I do have to express a total lack of surprise that people react to scarcity in one area in the same way they react to scarcity in every other.

Extreme gender imbalances are societally destabilizing, and the Chinese government, which is obsessed with social stability, should have reacted much faster once it noticed the gender gap in newborns. Now, it's too late, and a generation will be unhappy.
I think these people exist, and that their complaints are valid. I also think that the percentage of people who complain about it is not significant enough for Google to perceive this as more than a minor public relations issue.

1‰ of GMail's users complaining effectively means that a lot of people are miffed, but it may well be that this is totally acceptable and expected as far as Google is concerned.
While at is please KEEP Inbox. I went back to Gmail now that Inbox is being discontinued and its like going back to stone age.
Extract and refine it cheaply and then do logistics and shipping better. If you can do that and have enough, everyone will buy.

Oil/energy companies are still some of the most valuable in the world.

The films are encrypted, but the distribution media isn't necessarily physical. It depends on where in the world you are, but it has been pretty normal to distribute films via satellite, but recently Internet speeds have become fast and cheap enough to allow films to be distributed via the Internet.
It's better if the engine does analyze IP to bring relevant information but not keep it related to search history for later analysis.

Considering Gmail takes seconds to load now (250Mbit link, Ryzen 8core, 32 GB RAM), I don't see myself using Gmail if they upgrade in the same fashion in 6 months.
What happens if you don't pay? you need some written approval or what?
Which CA are you referring to here?
Not sure how many people have noticed, but there are 3 Gmail UIs that I've been seeing in the past few weeks. One is the entirely-new UI, one is the classic UI, and one is a subtly-modified version of the classic UI. It's hard to distinguish between the last two, but one way to tell is if you see "Sent" instead of the usual "Sent Mail". For some reason I seem to be switched back-and-forth between the two occasionally. I'm confused why they even improved that UI though, since it seems they want to shift everyone to the new UI.

And of course I hate the new UI. The information density is low and the graphics are (e.g. the Important and Star markers) visibly blurry under non-96 DPI.

I'm not aware of any price-matching clause. None of the key resellers would exist if that was the case. Retail stores would be unable to offer sales.

For Steam and Mobile, you need to create your own playerbase. Merely launching onto the platform will get you nowhere. If you are putting a huge effort into advertising and PR to generate an audience - you must think, why not direct them to a platform that charges me less than 30%? Android and iOS are effectively closed shops, but for PC I think its simply that no decent competitor has ever come along.
Agreed, but what do Google get out of making the new version?

The biggest negative business impact for them is that the new version makes talented developers less likely to want to work there. When Gmail first came out, it was breath of fresh air. It showed how to do email right. I remember wishing that I worked a company that could create such brilliant software.
It is poverty porn for middle class people. I cannot talk about the rest of the world, but one of the main reasons a large portion of Latin-American movies suck it is because of the huge disconnect between the middle-upper class people who do them and the more 'salt of the earth" common folk who are portrayed on them.
Sounds more like they forgot to transfer the movie from their central server to the screen server. Normal workflow has been to get the physical media via courier to the theatre, staff then transfer the content to a storage server and then a courier picks up the film and delivers it to the next theatre.

edit: A normal DCP (digital cinema package) is around 100GB, bigger if it's 3D/4K/Atmos. Some of the biggest packages can be 500-600GB with all versions (2D, 3D, dubbed, hard of hearing, atmos, auro, DBOX and so on). So not really feasible to download that via the Internet in a couple of hours.
My thoughts also. This just makes me sad to see our world going so close to all the post apocalyptic worlds we're used to see in Sci Fi.

I can't really relate to this -- my relationship with email is pretty different. Lots of my emails represent an ongoing todo item that requires some hours of work, or just some time to reflect, so I can't deal with it immediately.

I could turn each one into a TODO item tracked somewhere else and archive the email, then later search for the email and reply or take action. But it makes more sense to me to categorize the emails and use an organized inbox itself as my todo list.
I thint tgere are two strategies that work.

1.) Keep log of worked hours. When you want to stay longer, whether because need or because it goes well, stay longer. Note additional hours. Take those hours back (work less) within next two days or so. That way you will not overwork your self and will still take advantage of continuous time chunks.

If you are organized person, you can also note how much was "focused effective" and how much "staring into it butt in seet". I did that in past and it was eye opening.

2.) Work every day exactly same schedule and live very regular life. This his frustrating and hard for most people. Anyway, after a while you will codition yourself to be focused at exactly those times even if you are working on something big.

Large disadvantage of 2 I'd that you will become overall less flexible person that way.
