There is overwhelming evidence that religious people, particularly those who attend services are less likely to be involved in criminal activity.

Your assertion that the religious or church attenders are mostly about 'belief in paranormal activity' is really quite missing the ball, to the point that it's almost offensive - though it's a common misunderstanding.

Most classical Churches, Synagogues etc. are basically old-school community centers, where morality, behavior, contentiousness is passed on from generation to generation.
Devotion to 'a higher purpose' and 'the community' is basically paramount and instituted into all ideals.

FYI - it's actually not that much about 'belief', funny enough it's mostly about 'behaviour' which is highlighted in the research that hints that 'attendance' is the strongest predictor, less so 'faith'. (Sorry, I tried to find that specific article and could not).

I'm not some kind of 'holy roller' or whatever, I'm just constantly shocked at the odd misunderstanding many super secular types have about religion. The original posters bit about 'God wanted me to keep the wallet' triggered me because that's basically the opposite of what most religious people would instinctively think: to most service attenders, that the 'wallet belongs to someone' is a most obvious observation. Most mainline religious groups are like 'boy scouts' and 'girl guides'. A little conservative, generally very conscientious.

> If changing the title doesn’t result in actively squelching the old title, I’m not sure how to interpret this.

"Changing a title" is not inherently an act of censorship because there are many reasons why a title could be changed. Changing a title might be censorship, but not always. In this case, it is NOT censorship because the title was modified based on a pre-established submission rule (i.e. from the HN guidelines "use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."), NOT due to any particular prejudice against the ideas expressed in the title.

It also seems a little strange to me that changing a title to reflect the author's actual title can somehow be construed as censorship. It seems to me that the person editorializing the title is more aptly described as a censor than the mechanism that restores the title to the original form and cadence intended by the author.
Blah, blah blah, did anyone notice that Tesla pushed out 80,000 of the best cars on earth during the last quarter?

Some people think that just happens by accident. If so the other car makers can only hope that they wind up in such an automotive accident.

Musk has more than proved his capabilities between SpaceX, Tesla, Hyperloop and PayPal.

OK he's a little idiosyncratic, well, driven people are like that. They are not like us.

Well, there is the huge problem. Finding meaning is not only a difficult problem on a personal level, but the entire inertia of the existing system is moving precisely to prevent finding that meaning.

This is cause to be skeptical of any technological solution.

Imho, it is easier to approach from a cultural level. To that end, we seem to be moving backwards: we already had huge cultural apparatuses which (mostly) eschewed material things for a meaning based (somewhat, depending on who you ask...) on humanistic connection. We have been doing our best to dismantle it in the past few generations.

A lot of answers to these questions, and the questions themselves, come from further down the food chain.

The flip side of the coin is that no start-up is moving a billion tons of rice, or can park an army off a foreign shore in a week, or lay 10,000 tons of steel rail across a continent every day, or delivery a million packages a day, or make 10,000 processors a day, each with the complexity of the entire European system of roads.

So speed is relative to the size of the task at hand. Large enterprise can move big things so fast it literally takes the air out of the room.

Indeed, but at end of the day he's human and sometimes we say stupid things driven by emotion.

You have to weigh the good and the bad, and thus far I'd say it's no contest. Elon has contributed far more upside.
It goes far more beyond that. We have an IT team that makes decisions without going through the consensus route.

I strongly believe the agility of an organisation can be addressed with:

- number of projects/initiatives worked on
- accountability of said projects/initiatives
- technology to facilitate the automation of admin to track these projects/initiatives
- collaboration tools for knowledge sharing
- mindset shift

And this is not something for just the management team or the employees but a collective agreement on this is how we work. It goes back to building and commuting to maintaining a high performing culture. It needs buy-in from everyone on what the expectations are and what the rules of engagement should be. Any sign of politics, bureaucracy? Management needs to snuff it out. The more we accept certain behaviours, the more we allow it to fester within the organisation.

Too many projects being worked on just causes backlog and confusion. We did have an agile coach to come in but the organisation remains the same.

If the fine is intended to be punitive or act as a deterrent, it surely fails. Musk's net worth is over $20B, so a $20M fine is <0.1% of that. At this rate, he could violate securities law 999 more times and he'd still be a billionaire.

It's a joke really, most Americans are lucky to even have a positive net worth. A traffic ticket hurts your average American much more than this fine hurts Musk and he committed a much larger crime than parking in the wrong spot.

According to the article, the settlement does not let him proclaim innocence (but it doesn't require him to admit guilt). As I read the article, this part was the unchanged between the SEC's first offer and the eventual settlement.

" Call me cynical, but I don’t think there is any “there” there. "

I provided links to three articles of data to support my primary thesis, moreover, if you do a Google search you will find overwhelming research in support of the fact that 'those who attend regular service are less criminal'.

My 'anecdotes' are there to help contextualize it for you.

So the 'there' is so obviously 'there' ... the question is, why, even when faced with actual data to people keep doubting? That's the interesting bit.

And to be clear I'm not religious nor do I attend services.
Based on the actuality I don’t think anything you wrote is accurate.
Good points. In my comment, I was focused on the difficulties around getting the information you need and being aware of what is happening in other parts of the company, but there is also the huge factor around punishing risk-takers too.

For example, I can build a chatbot in a day that will take some load of a bunch of people in my department. Will it be deployed? No way. Will it be seen as a possible threat to people's patronage networks by cutting their teams and budgets? You bet. Will I possibly be chastised for doing something that is not in my JD? Possibly. Will I bother making it in this case? Nope.
Exactly. The original deal was:

1. No admission of guilt

2. Bar from chairmanship for 2 years

3. $10 million fine for Musk and $10 million fine for Tesla

The final deal was:

1. No admission of guilt

2. Bar from chairmanship for 3 years

3. $20 million fine for Musk and $20 million fine for Tesla

So the 48 hour delay brought Musk nothing in return.

how is tesla the future? they are still figuring out how to reliably manufacture a very small number of stagnant models, whereas every other car manufacturer iterates on multiple models every year, and it all works like clockwork and yields very reliable and safe cars. my kia optima sxl is much less than 50% of a tesla and yet has a higher fit and finish and is more safe.

Life has whatever value you give it. I'm an atheist and I love being alive. Being remembered is an arbitrary goalpost. Being sentient is a gift, and being dead one day is a gift too.
I completely disagree with your first point, and agree with your second with caveats. The employer is usually not paying the employee for "the product"; they're usually paying for the employee's time and general ability. You can see this simply by the fact that most employees are explicitly paid a rate per hour/day/year and not something closer to a piecework basis. Differences in productivity don't effect the pay rate nor does the estimated value of the product. Employees don't work on a "fixed fee basis" on their assignments and for maintenance like work their pay doesn't fluctuate downward when the value of their product diminishes nor upwards when it increases. The product is a consequence of how the employee is directed to spend their time. If the trade is something else, it should be clearly stated in the employment agreement/contract that they employee is paid on some other basis. Unilaterally recasting the terms of your employment into some other basis is merely rationalizing not providing the real thing for which you're being paid.

For those that might say that a job description sets product based terms for employment, it's rare that they are offered that way. Almost all the job descriptions that I've ever seen (and all that I've written) have some sort of phrase to the effect of, "...and other work as might be assigned." A job description isn't a Statement of Work, they're usually just general expectation setting devices.
New space is being created between those two things.

When they move 1 meter apart from each other through space, they'd move 1 meter back again to meet up. But when space itself is expanding between them, they've moved 1 meter apart but now to get back together they have to move 2 meters.

This has some other subtler ramifications. It means that the space between the two objects can increase at faster than the speed of light (because you can't move through space faster than light, but space can expand faster than light). Also, with the Higg's field's nonzero rest value _energy can be created from nothing_ by creating space. Yes, this violates conservation of energy.

I don't want a red queen scenario where if you go under 30 commits per day you explode, especially because it seems to hit both the long tail of low-resource off-beat projects and anything that interfaces with areas of society that benefit much more from being long-term stable.

You say they are not legal, but then list all the requirements that they do comply with.

I agree that we'll start to see deeper integration across the development environment though, as more dev-hours are spent on building up the toolchain.

> It used 35mm movie film

And why was movie film 35mm wide? It seems an odd width. William Dickson was going for a frame 1 inch wide, then added 3/8" for the sprocket holes. The original specification was in Imperial units: 1 3/8" (34.925mm). I don't know when or why its name turned to metric.

"At the end of the year 1889, I increased the width of the picture from 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch, then to 1 inch by 3/4 inch high. The actual width of the film was 1 3/8 inches to allow for the perforations now punched on both edges [...]." --- https://archive.org/stream/journalofsociety21socirich#page/4...

To go back further, we would have to ask, why is an inch an inch?
Musk is just a human like everyone else after all. You know like having emotions, making mistakes and stuff.

How would you act if you'd come that far and then find yourself threatened by a horde of wild short-sellers and then the SEC?

Even though his behavior isn't rational, it's understandable to a certain degree.

What exactly does short-selling Tesla stock contribute to our well-being as a society? Even though I think it's correct that the SEC fights spreading false information on Twitter, it must be allowed to ask this question.

I guess Musk should get some sleep, spare some of his fcks about all of this for later and get someone on his team who is competent enough to talk him out of certain things when it gets hot.

I have learned that these "slow" traits are all some form of safety/security system. They're in place to avoid corruption, single point of failure, bias, etc. and try to modularize/compartmentize the risk. Most of them are terribly designed and often working against its original purpose, but nonetheless they're there. Building a big enterprise that functions properly is just as hard as building a large software (if not harder), and upgrading a small organization to a big one without a problem is nearly impossible, again just like software.

Azure AppServices are hard to beat. One-click deployments from Visual Studio, or it takes about five minutes to setup continuous deployment from git if you use a free private VSTS repo. If you want to use the tier that allows a real domain instead of the azurewebsites domain, it costs about $10/month.

Kubernetes seems like a lot of unnecessary complexity for small workloads. Kind of plinking tin cans with a nuclear bazooka. What is the break-even point where all of this stuff starts to really be worth bothering with?
Sure!

First of all, GK3 would create new nodes when one of them gets killed.

Second, builidng “cloud-native” applications means to build stateless applications, e.g. using 12-factor. So it does not really matter if your application gets killed, restarted or horizontally scaled.

> most Americans are lucky to even have a positive net worth

The median American has a positive net worth of around $55,000. That's higher than Germany or Sweden, and just below Finland.

> A traffic ticket hurts your average American much more than this

The average American has a positive net worth of over $300,000 and represents the fourth richest average of any nationality. As such, the average American would shrug off a parking ticket every bit as much as Musk would shrug off a $20m fine.

Outside of delivering a new development or product that might need someone to stick their neck out, the larger the company mostly the worse they get at everything. Sales, support, raising an invoice, paying your bill, correcting a mistake, you name it.

To customers it really does seem as simple as passing Dunbar's number means support will probably suck or border on non-existant, pre-sales questions will go unanswered or get a process driven irrelevant answer, invoice payment gets ever more lax, and so on.

Or maybe it's that companies smaller than this still have enough people around that care.
There are several employers paying that much to select from, and companies will reinterview you in a year after a semi-random false negative, so the false negatives are not really a showstopper.

I think a lot more would be automated by now had the right incentive structures been in place, there are still tonnes of low hanging fruit in areas that are to small or too diverse to productize.

One example I remember is a company I worked for that had a lot of people doing data entry, basically reading faxes from a variety of sources that could have been 90% automated by OCR and some trivial AI. It was too specialized for any off the shelf system but too expensive for the company to invest in automating. I probably could have built an automated system but it would take a huge time investment to get to a point where they'd be willing to buy it and they would likely not pay enough to support me full time.

Now imagine if I could retain some rights to my automation to my automation efforts? I could take one of these data entry positions and with a bit of my own time invested I could probably automate 20% of the work fairly quickly, freeing up enough time to further automate things without sacrificing my own time. Sooner or later enough would be automated that I could start doing multiple jobs if the company were willing to license it. Eventually I could take on another entry level role and start the process over.

I would come out in front, the company would come out in front and the world would be more efficient, but the incentives just aren't there.
I dont think that poem describes real world and real history. Hard times often generated men who did not created good times, but create even worst way more violent oppressive times. Think world wars, French revolution, communists in Russia etc.

Hard times create hard people and that that can have very unfortunate consequences.

And good times did not necessary created men who create hard times, they often created men wanted to keep things good.
Plus anyone else would face a criminal investigation for attempting to manipulate the market to squeeze short sellers.

>"Mr. Musk threatened to resign on the spot if the board insisted that he and the company enter into the settlement. Not only that, he demanded the board publicly extol his integrity."

This sounds as though the board is there to serve CEO. Isn't the purpose of the board to make sure the CEO is accountable to shareholders? Is the board just there to satisfy regulatory compliance? What am I missing?
I have a hard time seeing arguments against the SEC taking action-- especially here-- as anything but overcomplicated rationalizations rooted in a personal adoration of Elon Musk. Basically, "I like Elon Musk and so I don't want anything bad to happen to him."

But (a) laws don't work like that (b) selectively enforcing rules (especially those designed to prevent fraud and deception) isn't justice or ethics, and (c) he genuinely did something wrong-- multiple things wrong. He deserves to face adverse consequences for those choices.
He approached it perfectly. I mean seriously, what’s the worst that could happen? He leaves and the company sells out to Apple? Sure, progress would slow but Apple wouldn’t bungle it.

Meanwhile he would get to focus on the weightier innovation at SpaceX and The Boring Company (disclaimer, am a SpaceX shareholder and secretly this is exactly what I want)
Well to talk about this more would take the conversation in a completely different direction. Bill met with Steve Jobs and they divided the market by including and removing technical features. Similarly, they met with the various workstation vendors and mini vendors and agreed to add or remove features to create "effective monopolies" based on product differentiation. It can't be proven in a court of law, and it was agreements between top executives who would cancel or undermine internal development projects. Like networking, office software, hardware included -- the decision to support types of programs was negotiated. I worked for direct reports of three of the executives involved at different times (SCO, Steve, Bill) and heard the same stories - as projects were cancelled or competitors products were purchased/killed in exchanges which often also involved offshore transfers between "competing" executives. I'm always hesitant to say these things on HN, since people here always insist on proof - when those involved went far out of their way to insure that no proof exists.
Yep, the 'Durian' concert hall in Singapore, for instance, has an organ with an additional wireless console, which can be moved to wherever is most convenient. I was there as the German organ builders responsible for it were putting on the finishing touches.

What interests me about the organ in the clip is that the music, "putting on the ritz", has been slowed down. That implies that the mechanical pipe switching system must be a bit slow.

Given that this guy did the whole thing largely from first principles, neither of the above are meant as a criticism; it's a brilliant project!
