That's a totally different statement though. Model 3s are also only 53,000 of that, although that's still just under 2 years. But really, the number of deposits doesn't have much of anything to do with the actual demand. The number of cancellations and new deposits also makes it really hard to estimate what it actually is.

The bottom line though is that any reasonable observer will expect the Model 3 to keep a sustained demand at its price point. People really do like them despite what critics say.
You're right. The rest of the world has plenty of smart people, including developers and engineers. SV and some other metros have advantages in funding sources that let them brain-drain other areas through better salaries and stock, but it's not that people in other place just don't what they're doing.

RHEL does just fine with talent operating out of Chicago and Raleigh NC. If companies are willing to pay solid salaries, and give growth opportunities to people outside of SV (this was actually the biggest downside I noticed while working at a very large sattelite office of a SV-based tech company in NC), then they will find sufficient talent in most any large enough / educated enough US metro.

If your criticism of capitalism is that it's not pure and not perfect, it's a non-sequitur since there are no pure and perfect ideologies, not in economics and not in government.

I'm reminded of that comic with the cats on trial. Capitalism sucks in many ways, but it sucks a hell of a lot less than the alternatives we've tried. Same with democracy.

Maybe it works differently for bread, but with whisky, learning how it has made has certainly enhanced my consumption, if only to give me the language needed to describe flavors and compare and contrast.
>if we had implemented those kind of laws earlier, either everybody was forbidden of improving its conditions and freely shop for employers, there would have been enormous inflation (see Venezuela),

99% sure Venezuela's inflation problems come more from the fact that the president-dictator takes monetary policy advice from a ghost-parrot, and not as much from implementing occupational safety standards that have been normal in North America and Europe for a century.

The number of available jobs is _not_ limited, it's a supply and demand curve!

An employer doesn't just have X jobs to fill a business. They have some number of tasks to do, and there's always more they could be doing. If they have the option of hiring some people at $5/hr and some at $10/hr, the boss can figure out how to get at least $5/hr in value out of the cheaper people he hires.

I think the person living with parents is a bad example too. $1/hr is nothing, and it'd probably just be better for that person to not have a job at all. Sometimes doing nothing is better than having a job that crappy.
Geneva and Tampere (200k pop each! how many devs do they even have?) and Milan and Calgary are known for tech? Quite frankly that's news to me in each case. What are the biggest tech companies from each of those? After a quick google search for "largest tech company city_name", Milan was the only one to pop up with a familiar name (Accenture).
I understand your premise. Customer support through email is much like customer support in person. I spent six years doing in-person customer support while working through university. But email is a lot more than just a medium for handling customer support, I do hope you realize that. For instance, you can hire or fire a person over email, sign or terminate a contract, promote or demote, change organizational structure, among others. It's a powerful tool. Certainly when responding to clients, early is best, even if only to say "I'll look into it right away."

It's a real problem -- "only 18% of biographies are of women" on wikipedia and "between 84 and 90 percent of Wikipedia editors are male".

I also remember reading in the past year about how the male skew in wikipedia editors leads to all sorts of bias. They approve all sorts of wikipedia entries on fictional sci-fi characters and reject entries for female leaders worldwide (in the west but even more so when it comes to developing nations)

This sounds like a welfare problem and not a wage problem. If the market drives down the cost of labor, that's good for everyone. If there exists people whose skillsets aren't sufficient to maintain some minimum standard of living, we ought to give them welfare, either in the form of direct money or "free" goods/services.

This seems to be a bit of oversell, similar to how a gifted musician might declare that music can cure all diseases, including cancer.

We must take care to ensure that AI doesn't end up atrophying intelligence of humans, and make us its slave, like how technology seems to be doing. I mean, look at how people have lost capacity to do basic maths mentally, or follow a route based on landmarks only. Technology is useful as long as its our slave, like the slide rule or the compass. Same goes for AI.

The combinatorial example about chemical compounds is poor because, if anything, it only reflects the imperfect methodology adopted rather than something inherently insurmountable. May be they need more insight to help prune the irrelevant combinations, and actually act like scientists instead of tinkering inventors. If scientists rely on technology or AI to solve these sort of problems, either through brute force or clever algorithms, instead of engaging their intelligence, it would begin the deterioration of humanity as a whole. Though most of the significant scientific discoveries have been accidental, our progress has been due to application of our minds to understanding and harnessing them. Same goes for evolution of society due to philosophy. AI induced atrophied intelligence will push us back to the dark ages, only this time the god would be the AI, the oracles would be the software, and the heretics would be those propounding reliance on innate human intelligence.

Its ironic that a bunch of brilliant scientists creating a brilliant system, on par with human mind, risks destroying the collective brilliance of humans. We must tread carefully.
At the least, this is funny.
I think the key is interest rates.

Most housing doesn't face the demand part of supply and demand in the purchase price. The demand curve is set by the monthly payment. The relation between monthly payment and total price is controlled by the interest rate.

So if interest rates rise, home prices have to drop (or at least not rise) until wages rise.

Unfortunately, this doesn't actually help, because it doesn't lower peoples' monthly payments...

People criticize Amazon and Walmart more than other companies because Amazon and Walmart are bigger than those other companies. That seems like an entirely fair reason for them to get more attention.

Wow. What kinds of workstation tasks need this kind of memory, if I may ask?
I didn't twist it to fit my beliefs: i presented a scenario that is actually more expensive than what it would be in reality and showed how even that would not be a substantial increase in cost, even if it was paid for exclusively by increasing the price of products sold.

A $1M/mo additional increase in supply costs would be less than .1% of their revenue. It just manages to be .1% at $10M/mo. Given that the $1.2B/yr payroll cost I cited above is actually only 4.5% of Kraft's yearly revenue (I rounded up to 5% for simplicity), the additional supply chain cost you present would actually be covered by the 5% price increase I initially mentioned. It would in fact be covered by that 5% even at $10M/mo.
If you take a couple of steps back and think about this idea that future generations are more important than current ones you would probably realize that it's not such a simple thing to conclude on.

I never said we shouldn't do anything. What I said is that the idea of simply using the well being of the future generations as an argument for how the current generations should behave isn't empathic.

We should do a lot of course among others keep developing new technologies to solve some of the problems that humans create while still allowing the many millions who are poor improve their lives too.

That is the paradoxical discussion here and it's frankly way more important than some strawman about not doing anything here.

>And NYC's absolute market rent levels appear to be lower than SF's....

That's NYC, not Manhattan.

Manhattan is worse than SF, (and certainly worse than any other place in SV). And yet, it's not a monoculture. That's the point I'm making. It strongly suggests that the issue in SF is less about affordable housing, and more about the fact that SF/SV is simply popular with a certain type of person.

It's amazing to watch Pytorch and TF slowly converging and offering more or less the same capabilities. TF started in graph mode and are now adding eager mode. Pytorch started with eager mode (prototyping) and are now moving to graph mode (production). TF evolved from Google's production environment so it comes as no surprise that it was geared for production first deployments. Pytorch evolved from researchers which explains how it was tailor made for tinkering and prototyping. Good to see the two converging. I am guessing a year from now there won't be any marked difference between the two.
The natural counterpoint is, well, why aren't they? But that conversation is mostly opinions and hand waving on what is 'fair'.

Assuming they aren't entitled to equal or near equal shares though, we can certainly ask how much is too unequal? A single man having more wealth than 300k people earning in nearly a lifetime seems like it is probably too much.

Meh.

Silicon Valley is like a good chocolate chip cookie - liberal dough generously stuffed with libertarian chocolate chips.
So much said, and still no alternatives suggested. The reason we are convinced that there is no better alternative to moderately-regulated free markets is that this belief is so well supported, and so poorly refuted.

I have to conclude, after listening to thousands of thoroughly convincing accounts and arguments favouring moderately-regulated free markets; and not being presented with any alternatives in practice or theory which appear to be capable of replicating the incentives which have taken us from 95% living in extreme poverty about 150 years ago, to ~5% today (it's actually getting hard to measure); that, in practice, moderately-regulated free markets tend to produce what can be described as miracles, while high-ratio or total redistribution tends to bring great societies to their knees, and divide people into people whose job it is to suffer unimaginable horrors, and people whose job it is to enjoy the fruits of those victims' remaining breaths of productivity.
Very good points. We discussed a lot internally before adding content websites like Reddit. There are 2 reasons why we decided to add them in the end. First some people actually use such sites for work (they look up for information they need for work). Second, we offer a "Disable Notifications" option so you can avoid receiving notifications from all or specific apps hence giving you control over what can capture your attention or not.

Yes since recently you can add custom sites to Station. Simply go to the app store in the Station app and click on the "+" button on the bottom right. You will be able to request a custom app (available either just for yourself or your entire team).

Look forward to your feedbacks as you test the app!
While in the U.S. being libertarian is associated with being right-leaning, the small government vs big government debate is pretty orthogonal to left vs right. The silicon valley stance on economic matters doesn't fit cleanly into the usual liberal or conservative platforms.

On social issues, it's more clear.

Edit: I thought this was a fairly bland comment on my part, so can I ask what reasons people have for silently disagreeing?

That'd be like saying your end user should understand cache misses, however if you're starting a car design/repair shop you might want to know about how transmissions work.

The primary reason for dropping down to native is to get better performance. If you're going to do that you'll leave 10x-50x performance on the table if you don't understand cache misses, prefetching and the other things that manual memory placement open up.
Absolutely! PyTorch and React are both awesome.
> I stopped reading when I got to "C also operates inside of a virtual machine."

Then you missed my actual explanation and description, which is described in the rest of the post. Since others are also apparently confused, I'll re-state it here.

The C language is not defined in terms of hardware. The C language is defined in terms of an "abstract machine." This machine, being abstract, does not exist. "Virtual" and "abstract" are terms that are broadly speaking synonyms in general usage.

The spec even defines this in terms of an "execution environment" which can be "freestanding" or "hosted", and most C programs are, in the spec's language, running in the execution environment of C's hosted, abstract machine.

The rest of the post is exploring how this is conceptually the same, but different in details, than something like the JVM, which is what many people think of when they hear "virtual machine." As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, the sense of "virtual machine" that C uses is where LLVM gets its name from, yet people found that confusing enough that they changed the name.

This comment is also a re-statement of my point, maybe it helps: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18123642

You may also argue that the abstract machine is practically insignificant. I disagree, but that's what my follow-up posts are about, so this post doesn't address this question directly at all.

Does that help?

"C++ In the spirit of C" seems to be the sweet spot for me; think of a C++ programmer retreating to C but still keeping their fancy new C++ compiler.
At a simplistic level, the difference between RISC and CISC processor design boils down to having many registers and reduced instructions, or few registers and extra specialized instructions.

What was being described is going to programming from a RISC-like design processor to a CISC-like design processor, and how they felt constrained after doing so. It likely does feel more constraining (I don't really remember how I felt about it back when I did it, but I also went the other direction, and only in the context of classwork), but in the end, most people are programming a level removed from that anyways.

There used to be quite a lot of arguments about what design was better (IMO mostly fueled by Macs running a RISC processor and Windows running a CISC processor, at least until Apple switched to x86). I find it slightly comical that both designs ended up in a fairly similar place though (with RISC processors adding extra instructions, and CISC processors adding more registers, even if mostly just logical registers).
Whitepaper: The guide to financial governance in the cloud
For me it's exactly the other way around. Spent 20 years in C++ (before that 5 years of C), but slowly and steady got fed up by the language complexity, redundant features, standard library bloat and compiles times. Went back to C and it's like a breath of fresh air.

The turning point for me was realizing that C++ mostly helps with managing the complexity of many small memory allocations, but it's better to avoid such a "many small memory allocations" scenario to begin with. And without that, C++ looses much of its appeal over C.
In a 1926 interview to a magazine, World's Work, Ford said: "Leisure is an indispensable ingredient in a growing consumer market because working people need to have enough free time to find uses for consumer products, including automobiles."

He wanted people to have free time so they could appreciate the stuff they buy. Capitalism at its finest.
Amazon has never cared about net profit, they care about compounded growth through reinvestment of profits. It took Wall Street about 15 years to figure out they should leave Bezos alone.
The rather obvious reason (which I suspect you know full well), is that "capitalism" just isn't very specific.

Even believing that it is the best of all systems we've thought of (which I do) does not preclude one from optimising its specifics.

Re: C++ allows to build very impressive abstractions that are very handy. The main drawback is that this flexibility has a huge impact on the language. When you switch between two projects writen in C++, it is almost as if they were using a different language.

This has always been the two-edged sword of high abstraction: people use high abstraction to invent idioms that match their OWN head, and other heads have difficultly reading it. I've been in long debates with Lisp fans over the commercial practicality of Lisp. Lisp and its variations have had almost 60 years to "catch on" in the mainstream, and keeps failing, staying a niche. If you keep losing beauty pageants for 60 years, it's time to admit you may be ugly. Just because YOU like it and/or YOU can read a certain style does NOT mean others can.

Domain-specific languages tend to herd people into certain styles and idioms, making cross-staff reading easier, even if it's more typing. Standardization often trumps linguistic parsimony in real-world work. I'm just the messenger. (I'm talking general domains here, not necessarily specific industries.)

> After this three-week experiment, I think that work-life balance—a balance that might not even exist in traditional workplaces anymore—might look more like leaving our work, physically or metaphorically, at our desks when we go home.

This is so important to me. Working from home sounds luxurious, but when I tried it it felt more like living at work. You need to be able to draw a hard line between the times and spaces where you work, and the ones where your time is your own.
