$1/hour is not nothing. If you work full month you get $160 which is more than $0 that you get playing games all day long (also you spend less on an electicity bill). So it is more beneficial than doing nothing.

In a market without minimun wage you'll have to compete against such people for a job.
Some sites are so broken that the only way to parse some of their HTML is to use regexps or substring searches on the source code. Maybe this tool can handle that through extensions.
These net worth figures don't take into account the differences in social models. The average German has been paying more taxes for their entire life. In exchange, their net worth won't be affected if they get cancer, they will get help if they go broke, etc. Comparing net worth figures directly doesn't sound fair to me given these differences...

Continuing my original thought.

This guy has been married to this company and it's what brought him the fame he has today. Surely, he was successful before starting Tesla, but at least from how I started to know about him, it's as Tesla's CEO.I can only imagine that subconsciously he feels very connected to the company.

I've deliberately used "married to Tesla" because i wanted to make an analogy here. I know very well that some people can start acting very weird in a relationship if they don't feel committed anymore, but at the same time do not have the courage to have a clean exit. They would make all kind of stupid shit to make the perfect scenario to arrange an exit where they would be victimized and their ego would take minimum damage. In my opinion, Musk's personality matches the aforementioned type very well.

Again, this is just my personal opinion, and food for thought, as someone's reply. Time will tell.
This is simply not true.

Having a hunch you can get some money, is not securing funding.
This is just like when Bart Simpson tells Milhouse he can read lips, and then admits he doesn't know what's being said. ("I thought you said you could read lips!" "I thought I could!")[0] It's fraud.

He said "funding secured" after an initial 30 minute chat. That's not a deal. That's not even a verbal agreement to make an LOU. He also did this without telling anyone on the board. The SEC even released text messages from the board and staff that directly asked him after his tweet "Is this true?"

Asserting shareholders are better with him, is highly debatable. He has run 3 companies simultaneously, put his brother in charge of one, and then when it started to fail, bailed it out with a merger with one of his other companies, then promptly spun up a third company because apparently he has to have three. The celebrated car company has serious logistics and manufacturing problems, and is deeply in debt, and doesn't make a profit.

Ironically, what might be his most successful venture isn't even public.

Essentially, yes.

Once it became clear that Japan was a strong regional power the UK and (especially) US began treating it poorly, which was a major cause of the civilian government losing prestige and power to the military.

But the windows aren’t opt-out (that would actually provide better UX if you don’t care, see cookie banners).

They are annoying precisely because they do comply and require explicit opt-in into tracking. In other words, they ask you to make your choice as the first interaction.

By default, they collect nothing - and immediately show the form. You are not punished for opting out and can continue the same way as those opting in.

But everybody is annoyed by being asked. Regulators perhaps expected this to be some setting hidden somewhere, but that’s so incompatible with free content business models that it was clear that won’t happen. This is the compliant consequence.
> Arranging himself an exit in this way, would make it look as he's the victim left with no choice but leave.

...which would be very convenient if he believed there was no way to meet the company's targets and fix its problems, thus being bound to failure.

...which, coincidentally, is what short sellers also believe and have been warning about for ages.

Thus the "I was forced to leave" spin would be an effective excuse to avoid the blowback and the stigma of failing to perform and deliver on his promises that the company was viable while it wasn't.

> seemed dumb to me to cool the interior of your refrigerator by dumping heat into your home, which your AC has to then extract and dump outside.

This doesn't strike me as dumb at all, unless the refrigerator's heat pump is more efficient [1] than the AC. Although it may be, it's not a foregone conclusion, and it stands to reason that a refrigerator would be designed to function better when pumping [2] heat into room temperatures than outdoor temperatures (as opposed to an AC).

Regardless, all heat pumps have to work harder (use more energy and/or run longer) when the temperature differential on either side is worse. You wouldn't be getting something for nothing by moving a fridge's hot side to a hotter outdoor location.

[1] Overall, including maintenance/replacement cost due to longer run-time

[2] or dumping, though "dump" suggest something more passive than what I believe is going on

The way it is supposed to work is you are supposed to be able to visit the site and get the same experience whether or not you accept the popup and ridiculous opt-out dark patterns. So declining should not disadvantage you.

Most of these pop ups appear to go against both the spirit and letter of the law, so will hopefully see some regulator response. Now whether regulators have enough budget to respond to all the wilful evasion remains to be seen.
What he's saying, in response to "OS X can already do that", is that OS X as it is currently can't do that.
Your premise doesn't explain why France - which has a far more expensive welfare state than Germany - has a median net worth roughly three times that of Germany and Sweden.

Or why Belgium is nearly 4x that of Germany. Or why Italy is 3x that of Germany. And so on. It's very clearly a problem that specifically has to do with Germany. Even South Korea, which has only started to become affluent in the last two decades, is well ahead of Germany and Sweden (and the US median as well).

You're also making the excellent point that Americans should be far worse off than Germans and Swedes, because they should be going broke constantly due to medical bills. And yet the American median wealth is still higher.

The US spends as much on its welfare state as a percentage of its economy, as what Canada and Australia do, and is just behind Switzerland.

The median American receives healthcare through their employer. That directly detracts from their income potential, and given how expensive US healthcare is (typically 60% to 80% more than other developed nations), it detracts in a very big way. By your way of thinking, we should account for that massive gap in cost of healthcare and how it impacts income figures (which impacts max savings potential). It's certainly not fair to account for Germans paying into taxes for eg healthcare, while ignoring that Americans lose out on income in the relationship with their employer due to the immense cost of healthcare in the US: that is the tax.
Example?

That is illegal under GDPR. I’ve yet to see it. The only dark pattern I’ve seen mentioned is “agree” and “fine tune the settings” (with rejecting all as level 2).
but manufacturing entirely new type of car? somebody gotta take the hit of being the first (most of the time, failing) one to try to do it on this scale. It's the only way forward. I think old and steady auto manufacturers are too stagnant to ever try their hand at such a risky but needed move.
Not to be "that stats guy", but i think the phrase you're looking for in your second paragraph there is the "American average", which is a totally different concept from the "average American".

If you must use the concept of an average American (which I'm generally against because people/entities with multiple dependent and interlinked characteristics are not numbers and so average is pretty ill defined), I think general consensus is that your first measure of median would be more appropriate.

Interestingly, since I started working in the US, I found that it is actually hard to get critisicm for anything: « honest feedback » is definitely not something that is culturally ingrained: most people will never talk to your face about the things you do wrong at work.

And at the same time I found that my family and my friends are the harshest ones about what I do too.

You selected the mean ($388,585) instead of the median ($55,876). One is America's average net worth per person (adult); the other is the net worth of the average American.

Given that these values differ by over $300,000, that's arguably even less accurate than saying that the average American's net worth is below zero.

EDIT: misread original comment's mention of median figure, but given its overall assertion in the context of this discussion, I'm leaving this here.

It is a smart decision, but still it's better to build something solid before you start consulting: an online presence, a blog, a podcast, network of people who know you, etc. So that your former employer is not your only source on consulting gigs.

But even then, most companies would refuse, because it means they have to contact their legal department to draft a contract, and change their workflow to accomodate for you, an external entity. I've seen people transition from employees to consultants for one company, it was very smooth though. It's just that some companies would have a kneejerk reaction of "errr, dude, listen, whatever, man, just if you're leaving, then you're leaving, if not, then not, this consulting stuff, I don't think anybody would approve of, so no, either you stay as you are, or leave, sorry." Because they don't think it's important, they don't value you, and don't really care, so by becoming a consultant you're presenting a problem and additional work for them, they would rather avoid it, especially if avoiding it is the easiest thing to do - nothing. HR will find somebody to replace you.

Or it may work out how you described, especially if you sell it to them with charisma and good vibes.

Back in the 90s I had a high school summer job where I had to run some scripts against a production database. I was told, "You have to watch it in case there are errors." Boring work. Essentially, I sat for 2-3 hours a day watching a status bar move.

I would run a backup script on a production database, then copy the backup over to a local storage drive, then run a sanitation script to clean up customer data, then copy the database again to a public folder where the devs could access it.

I would use the time to try and dissect the script and read up on SQL. A few months in, I added a few lines to the script that emailed me if there were errors (and of course this list of errors evolved over time...), and set it to automatically do the download and sanitation work.

Then I corrected a few parts of the sanitation script to block out a few more bits of customer data that whomever wrote the original script had missed, and then set it up on a schedule to pull a copy every hour... the devs loved that the data was coming down more frequently.

I was so proud of my little automation project, and I showed my boss. I was a little worried he'd be upset that I was running this script on production. He wasn't. He loved it. Then he told me to delete it.

"You cost me $8 / hour, but when you go back to school I'd have to hire someone who costs a lot more to maintain this. The budget is already approved for the year, I can't change it. This is great... and I know what I'm asking you to do is stupid... glad you're learning here... but really I just want you to sit and watch the status bar move."

They are clearly clutching at straws using the story about the rapist as a reason to want no judicial oversight for the ability to spy on all citizens. Why can't they get the messages from the teenagers phones, if they know they were sent?
Sum types, not having null in every type, multiple dispatch (useful for numbers) and higher-kinded polymorphism (e.g. X can also be a type parameter in X[T]) are at least four very useful features that Haskell has and Java doesn't. Haskell also has excellent type inference that makes it as succinct as Python despite the static types.

In practice, despite the features Java can support, it's typically too much work to define a new type for safety reasons. Strings are used everywhere, instead of more domain specific types. Even the designers made compareTo return an Int!
Random late reply, but: compression can compete surprisingly often. Latency can get less attention than overall IOPS numbers and such, but SSD service times for individual 4K random reads are often something like 0.1ms. You can pack a compressible page faster than that for sure.

(Intel's selling their new NVDIMMs as providing much better latency figures than SSDs, especially if you read a cache line out at a time instead of a whole page. Be nice to see the things and their pricing.)

Instead of a general LZ compressor Apple's stuff uses a word-at-a-time algorithm called WKdm, and there are others (there's one on GitHub called centaurean/density for example). Hardware can help--Samsung had a memory compressor in some chips and Qualcomm's server ARM chips used compression to avoid bottlenecks in memory bandwidth (but not increase capacity). Fun stuff, seems like somewhere more progress could be made.

Hypatia is the top journal in feminist philosophy.

https://feministphilosophers.wordpress.com/2007/07/11/philos...

> It can also be difficult to get publications in Hypatia taken seriously by one’s department: I know of at least one junior faculty member who was told that she needed to get some more ‘mainstream’ publications, despite her publication in Hypatia, the top journal in her field.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypatia_(journal)

Hypatia is the highest ranked journal in feminist philosophy. It has an impact factor of 0.712.

> The flagship feminist philosophy journal, Hypatia, accepted a paper (not yet published online) arguing that social justice advocates should be allowed to make fun of others, but no one should be permitted to make fun of them. The same journal invited resubmission of a paper arguing that “privileged students shouldn’t be allowed to speak in class at all and should just listen and learn in silence,” and that they would benefit from “experiential reparations” that include “sitting on the floor, wearing chains, or intentionally being spoken over.”
He is going to leave and do the promised buyout. The stock price is bargain. Tesla will be privately held company soon. My $0.02.
On the other hand, to my knowledge very few if any small-and-cheap double-Gauss "nifty fifties" are particularly great wide open on modern high-resolution sensors. Though it could be argued that the current drive for ultra-sharpness among the "Ad-Am" crowd again stems more from prestige—and the tendency to pixel-peep—rather than any real need. Especially in a world where the vast majority of photos are viewed at low resolutions, highly compressed, and on small screens.

Mirrorless, with its short backfocus distance compared to SLRs, does bring onto table the feasibility of inexpensive and compact "normal" lenses for APS-C and smaller sensors. The Panasonic 25mm f/1.8 for MFT is a good example, as is the recently announced Canon EF-M 32mm f/1.4.
> So speed is relative to the size of the task at hand.

I think of organisational decision making like organic decision making - that the speed of the organisation's reactions are dependent upon its frame of reference. The frame of reference here is the time between sensing and reacting.

The eyes and ears of small businesses are very close to the brains, and so decisions can be made rapidly by the small number of people who have capability to marshal resources into a response.
Enterprises have layers of processing between the eyes and brains, along with many more sensors than a small business, meaning that questions take longer to be settled and decisions made. However no small business can wield the same power as a large organisation when the army of deciders all focus on a single outcome.
Am i right that Tesla is his first publicly traded company? Maybe the pressure of continuous spotlight on him + need to keep up with stable CEO status is wearing him down? I no way know him or am able to fully state this as a fact but i feel like lately he seems like he has been under huge pressures, and does not like it. Maybe he just likes to invent and engineer things. Like much worse version of innovative coder/engineer who's inspiration and moral is crushed by soul-eating-meetings day after day after day.
