The validity of previous criticisms of Tesla don't negate current criticisms of Tesla. You don't get to say, well the media was wrong about Tesla last time, so they will be wrong about it next time. Sure, if there is a history of them being wrong (which the author claims there is), it can be part of your argument, but it can't be the entire argument.

It seems we both agree that not many people are currently criticizing Tesla for making bad cars, or not being able to hit production goals, or that electric cars aren't useful, yet this whole article focuses on refuting those points.

IMO, it seems most of the current criticisms of Tesla are that Elon Musk's antics on Twitter are hurting the company and that they aren't yet profitable and have some big debt payments due in the near future. The author of the post has done nothing to respond to those points, which is why I feel this is a straw man.

Look at it this way, even if you think there is a media campaign to make Tesla and Elon look bad, and all these criticisms are just pulled out of thin air, a broken clock is still right twice a day. You can't just say, well they are out to get Tesla because, even if they are, that doesn't mean what they say isn't true.
I do not get why your comment is so controversial - you are absolutely right.

Conventional cameras alone are not trustworthy for self-driving, and this is part of the reason every respectable company venturing into self-driving is incorporation technologies like LIDAR.

I find it sketchy that Tesla markets "future full-self-driving" when they are unlikely to have the hardware to make that a safe experience.
The site is not responsive. I can’t read on my mobile.
First: If one side decides to expand the court, I'm pretty sure that "hysteresis" won't be the reason. "We want our side to have more influence" will be the (unstated) reason.

Second, though, I'm not sure that you'd get more hysteresis. Let's say that, with a nine-member court, a two-term president is likely to get to appoint two or three justices. Now expand the court to fifteen members, as one side has suggested. Well, now a two-term president is likely to get to appoint four or five justices. I don't think that changes the hysteresis at all.
What do you mean by "figuring out what to do?" If you mean "write a detailed specification for every component in the system", then what is engineering exactly?
What a horrible way to end a post. Try - always be mindful and intentional with your actions and the actions of those around you. Work hard towards building a better world.
I was a Rails dev for the past 7 years, switched to a React position a couple months ago.

There was a lot of hand wringing a few years back that Rails was quickly losing popularity, but gauging by my recent time on the job market it is still very hot. It seems like I had just as many recruiters contacting me for Rails positions as they did React. I somewhat suspect this is because many people transitioned to other things and it's harder to find experienced devs.

As many others have stated it's a mature ecosystem and there's plenty of great learning material out there.

legal logic often is. your error is in reading it out of the tight legal context/boundaries it is part of.
Hi, I'm Asian and never got into an elite institution like Harvard, but did get into UNC Chapel Hill. I'm thoroughly mediocre overall and was when I applied.

I oppose this lawsuit because I see no evidence that this is anything but sour grapes on the part of the aggrieved parties, all of whom seem to have gone to other elite institutions that I could have never gotten into (like Duke). I am fundamentally opposed to the implication of this suit - the acknowledgement that literally any outcome outside of getting into Harvard is a net detriment to life outcomes significant enough to warrant a lawsuit. I believe this to be un-American and incredibly elitist. In addition, the DOJ's tacit support for it appears to be nothing more than a cynical ploy to drive a wedge between Asian-Americans and other people of color. I've seen some analysts claim that this could convince Asian-Americans to start voting Republican again - something I find amusing, because this country and community have significantly larger problems than pearl-clutching about whether one gets into elite school A or elite school B.
Side note unrelated to TLS.

Using telemetry Mozilla was able to precisely measure how many connections are actually established with TLS 1.0 and 1.1. Without numbers, they'd have been flying blind, making decisions with no rational basis. That's why I personally choose to leave telemetry on in applications that I trust. It helps the dev makes sensible, data-driven decisions.
My personal view (as an asian american) is that the United States owes african americans a debt that overrides the goal of perfect fairness to everyone else. Almost all asians came here (or their parents came here) voluntarily. The ancestors of african americans, by contrast, were brought here in slavery and then legally discriminated against until very recently (if that discrimination is even over). The United States has an obligation to fix the damage it caused by that.

I view it not as "discrimination against asians" but a tax to pay for debts long ago incurred. My family came here long after the decision to go to World War II, but I'm obligated to pay taxes to pay off the debt we still carry from that war. Likewise, the United States and the state governments enslaved and discriminated against african americans long before I got here. But those governments still exist as going concerns, are obligated to fix the damage they did, and as someone coming along after the fact benefiting from living in the U.S., I have to pay my fair share of the "tax" needed to fix that damage.
The question isn't "is it worth learning" it's "is it worth learning next". What do you already know?

Focus on learning theory and standards (e.x. HTTP, websockets, MVC, security principals) and learning tools becomes easy enough you won't bother asking us if it's worth the time investment.
Isn't this the entire idea behind Robinhood? Obviously, they make money elsewhere (from interests on deposits?) but hasn't it been clear for years that they were getting paid by internalizers for order flow?

Whoever you use to place stock market orders is also getting paid the same way. People have a funny idea of what a retail brokerage does. They do not execute orders on exchanges for you; that's a specialized capability that long ago became its own kind of company. Retail brokerages specialize in picking up the phone when you call with a complaint or request, and in advertising to acquire users.

You shouldn't care. The reason your order flow is valuable isn't that Citadel is trying to screw you. Rather, they can (occasionally) quote you better prices than they do the market as a whole, because they know you're not a giant investment bank or hedge fund about to roll over them like a freight train with a giant block order that will demolish every level of the order book. Internalizers can essentially arbitrage the difference. They're required by law to meet or improve the NBBO.
Would appreciate any pointers from people who know more about law than I do (which is practically nothing) on what arguments Harvard made back in the day about their discrimination against Jews. Are they structurally similar to the arguments they are making against Asians now? At some point did Harvard acknowledge that the policies that discriminated Jews were a mistake?
They did OTAs without code signing? That's an unprecedented level of incompetency! What were they thinking?
I disagree. Compared to cryptocurrency, NSA has at least done something good.
Cryptocurrency, I mean the stupid push and people wasting energy on it, at best changes nothing... maybe just making Winkelvoss rich, at the expense of other idiots.
Hey! I think Madoff might have done more good things for human kind, than bitcoin mania.

I'm sorry if you lost the money... But I'm not using cryptocurrency in any public space. Considering that cash is still way more anonymous... and US Dollars are fairly widely accepted notes.

Also, you don’t need another phone line/connection. It will use your same phone number. I’m sure Verizon will figure out a way to charge for it but it looks like it won’t be a whole new line.

We’ll see I guess.
How is it possible to save 2/3rds of a 90k salary in Boston? After tax, that's probably about 64k, which means you manage to live on 21k a year? The average studio in Boston rents for more than that a year...
There are both business and public policy arguments for not banning political ads, as the article notes.
An alternative headline is "Tool Makers Make Tools That Don't Help Doctors". I know a ton of colleagues who flinch every time someone mentions that this'll just hook into the EMR system, because they know everything will be broken and tedious for years before another vendor comes along.

At a conference I was at recently, I'm nigh positive "Decision Support Tool" was a dirty word.

Class and culture are inextricably linked.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Great Society legislation only happened because working- and middle- whites felt comfortable with their economic security.[1][2] The loss of well-paying blue collar industrial jobs may have been partly compensated with cheap domestic goods.[3] But nothing has compensated for the loss of jobs that one could reasonably expect to last for decades, if not for one's entire working life. You're not going to give on cultural issues if you feel that you're losing on the economic front. Quite the contrary, you're going to become extremely defensive and even cynical.

I'm not excusing racism and prejudice. Quite the opposite--I'm saying that it never left, its expression in popular politics only temporarily diminished.

[1] It helped that the poster children for Great Society legislation were, literally, white Appalachian children.

[2] I'm sure the same could be said for immigration in the U.K. It was tolerated or even affirmed by a working class who felt economically secure. Once they felt threatened economically by immigration, and as memories of the Empire faded along with a sense of intrinsic superiority, relatively dormant ethnic animus returned to the fore.

[3] As conservatives infamously argued during the 2016 election; that quality of life has remained undiminished or has even improved, notwithstanding stagnant wages, by pointing to A/C and refrigerator ownership rates. That's true to an extent but largely irrelevant to how people perceive equity and fairness.
And yes, the article makes the point that insectivores are disappearing as well with presumably a knock on though less direct effect on higher level predators.
Watch what happens when a drone smashes into an airplane wing
are you implying that a social media company known to manipulate the mental state of its users might want to influence the people who vote for the politicians that talk about Facebook like a monopoly and want to break it up? that's unbelievable
I’m so happy I can believe everything I read on the Internet again. Thanks Facebook!!
> People's safety isn't something to be iterated.

Look into the history of automotive safety to understand how ridiculous this sounds. Cars were total death traps for many, many decades.
I read that analysis when it came out. I'm not sure how accurate it is... in the end Robinhood still needs to make money since they aren't charging the typical per trade commissions.

You can probably back out what the HFTs margin is on this stuff by looking at public financials... KCG was public for a while.
Expanding the SC would be a terrible idea. Apart from the nakedly partisan optics, it guarantees that the other party would just put more justices on the bench when they have a chance.

In theory, maybe, it makes sense. Practically, it’s a bad idea.
I don't think the parent implied "actively coding on the project"...at the very least, I interpreted "execute on their visions" as having been granted the authority to direct the pursuit of business endeavors that previously didn't exist.

I'm also of the opinion that a technical manager who purposely relegates engineering to a forgotten past is one who is pragmatically posturing for premature obsolescence; an axe in denial who refuses the occasional sharpening cannot be discerned from a rusty shovel and will sooner dig his own grave.
Ask HN: What's the black bar at the top or HN right now?
"Diagnostic stewardship" is currently a hot topic in infection control and antimicrobial resistance work for exactly this reason. If we look hard enough, we'll find something to give you antibiotics for, even if you don't need them.
Misunderstanding what math?

If I'm misrepresenting that wiki page, then how about actually getting specific for once in your comments. It shouldn't be so hard to point out one example with actual details and questions if there such a large number of them.

P.S. If you think your comments about what is considered likely and not likely to CERN have nothing to do with the Standard Model then you really do need to read that wiki page again.

I don't see a single substantial and actually relevant argument in your comments so far. If I'm missing something, again, let's get specific so I have something that tells me you know what we're even talking about here. Are you representing "tensor interactions" as somehow capable of sufficiently explaining gravity and its interactions with antimatter? And are you saying that CERN is using constraints on "tensor interactions" as their reasoning to deprioritize such an experiment?

What are your qualifications in physics, by the way?
I mean if you want a great account of how little information can be used to find you, you have to include the greatest game of capture the flag: Shia LeBeouf's "He Will Not Divide Us" vs 4chan.

In case you really can’t see why: because it’s not actually respectful. It’s a dumb meme, it has nothing to do with Paul Allen, and– despite what you might think– a lot of people won’t know what it means.

Humor can be a powerful tool for coping with grief, but something like this reads as glib and disrespectful in a forum that holds itself to a higher standard of discourse than the broader internet.
I actually work in this field, and I interact with banks regularly.

The FATCA requirements are actually quite simple, and the theoretical penalties are just that--theoretical.

As a practical matter, the FATCA US customer report is satisfied by a relative spartan list of names, tax ids, account numbers, and balances. In other words, something a simple report should be able to generate in about .000001 seconds.

If a bank can't handle that type of compliance, you should take your money elsewhere because it indicates serious internal control issues.
How do we talk about this issue (and others like it)? Ignoring the politics is as useful and honest as ignoring your black eye when discussing your headache.

We all know the score: For some, it's a way to undermine affirmative action and also a way to distract from the much larger prevalence of racial discrimination against African-Americans and Hispanic-Americans - a way of implying that those issues aren't special problems. Others take the opposing side in order to push back on these issues.

Let's not pretend it is considered on its merits either here or in wider society, though most discussions try to talk as if it is. Possibly it will not be decided on its merits the politicized American judiciary: If it reaches the Supreme Court, for example, I think by only knowing the politics - and no facts or law - we could predict how several justices would vote.

I just wish we would discuss it honestly.
Apportionment paradox
Im sure it will vary depending on the ISP, but I've just had a different experience. I put a dns record on a domain I had so I could ssh in because the IP never changed for years. But every ISP after dialup has never changed my address after installing. That includes att, charter, Comcast, Comcast again, att and att again, and some regional ISP I can't even remember the name of.
Yeah, I know that. I’m Asian, remember :)
Great, let's evaluate the deaths caused by regular cars. Lets evaluate risks posed by burning fossil fuels. Let's evaluate pretty much every single little detail about other auto brands and present our findings in a fashion where we can compare and rank best to worst. Having just done this I'm completely satisfied with Tesla's approach in comparison to what other brands have been doing.
Given the choice between silently accepting drone strikes as status quo and getting to keep your billions, or speaking out and getting cracked down upon by the goverment...

...it seems most billionaires have chosen not to speak out.
Why is Wisconsin corrupt?
I'm not sure how reducing the size of units of measurements changes the overall quantities. What matters is the total class time = number of classes per semester/quarter * avg hours met per class. If you double the amount of total class time (by doubling the student body), and hold class size constant, you'll have to end up offering twice as many classes. If you don't hold those total hours constant, then you're short-changing the students somehow...and definitely short-changing the faculty by reducing their time available for research.
Plus hundreds of people working full-time with a budget of at least $1.25M/month (which goes further in a country where the average income is around a sixth of the US).

The big boost, of course, was the email hacking and successful use of their media outlets like RT & Wikileaks to successfully spin nothing into the impression of a scandal, which people are still credulously recirculating.

You can still argue that this was not significant compared to campaign spending or the larger PAC/media battle, but you don’t need to be donating your PR services to a foreign intelligence operation.
Like Arthur Kane, bass player for the New York Dolls. Goes to the hospital thinking he has the flu, is diagnosed with leukemia, 2 hours - HOURS - later, he dies.
Your problem appears to be holistic admission in general. And to that, ok, I do agree and it's not consistent or deterministic by design. But the idea that people should get so mad about this that they sue and raise a fit is silly.

There are two competing implicit narratives here -

1) The school you go to doesn't matter and you should do the best where-ever you are (I personally heard this quite a bit).

2) You will be irreparably harmed for life because you didn't get into School N instead of School N - 1.

Which is it?
Why would HFTs pay so much more for order flow from Robinhood vs other online brokerages?
He's done a ton for Seattle. A few of my favorite less known things he contributed are the Living Computer Museum and Flying Heritage Collection.

non-Hodgkin's isn't typically that rapidly fatal, unlike other types of cancer. my guess is some sort of complication from treatment
The way I remember it, IBM PC's (and clones thereof) were quite expensive compared to many existing home computers.
The connection seems reasonable enough to me: the social media platforms take it upon themselves to arbitrate truth - and fine, that's their prerogative.

The falsehoods at issue for this very moment are about election day logistics, but the longer term narrative of "fake news fools mindless voters into making bad decisions" has also repeatedly been on these same radars in the same efforts of these same companies.
What if one "side" traffics in far more falsehoods than the other "side"? An unbiased approach will fact-check them far more often.
Hey, I wounder why every comments you made are related with Amplify & AppSync. Could you add a disclaimer if you have any relation with this projects?
Improvements in satellite imaging have reduced the need for cruising at mach 3+; the same job can be accomplished with very different hardware.
I completely disagree it's crystal clear.

How does buying something indicate your intent, wants, or wishes? If I buy a can of spray-paint, the store has no idea if I am using it to paint my child's bicycle, tag graffiti, use it as a weapon and hit someone on the head, or as part of a wonderful "Rube Goldberg" device which at the end an implement hits the sprayhead which sprays through a bright white light as part of performance art.

Another example, a true story: yesterday I visited an ice cream store with my friend. She wanted a scoop with chocolate sauce, and I wanted just a scoop. 1 scoop was 4.29+tax. A 3 scoop sundae with chocolate, nuts, and strawberry-sauce was 7.98+tax. Even though we only wanted 2 scoops we got the sundae because it was cheaper and scooped the strawberry-sauce off and into the trash (crazy I know, we don't like it). Did we defraud the ice cream store?

People buy "more than they need" all the time, and purchasing a good provides no intent as to what one wants or how they wish to use it.
It's a td element with a bg color of #000000. Inside of it is an image tag of height 5 and width 0. The image source is "s.gif".
Humans format with rules that take into account semantic information, symmetry, and aesthetics. They know that a function call that gives the entries of a matrix is formatted as a grid for a reason even when the auto-formatter could fit it on one line. They know that that arm of the match that would be formatted weird if it were on its own is actually formatted well because it exhibits that case's consistency with the other cases in the match. Probably the most important formatting decision they make is to, rather than format a long line, break it into intermediate results and store them in local variables given human-meaningful names.
I don't think this passes the smell test. For example, an employer would not be discriminating if he had a policy of hiring only whites, so long as he says he only wants to help whites and harm to other races is incidental?
Fraud requires financial gain. This is just lying. People are allowed to lie in this way, and you should not believe everything you read, particularly if it sounds very appealing, gets your emotions fired up, or seems to offer benefit without requiring any payment or responsibility.
Harvard was founded and held by WASPs in the 17th century, was conquered by Jews in the late 20th century, and will be conquered by Asians in the coming decades. There is the interesting question of whether the cultural relevancy of an Asian Harvard will drift into something like Caltech but you can't stop globalism!
I can see an argument that correcting for bias isn't "hurting" someone that comes with a preexisting positive bias.

But if that's the argument, then you're not "helping" anyone either.

You can look at it either as removing bias so nobody is helped or hurt, or you can view it in comparison to a 'race-blind' process where it helps some and hurts others.

You can't cherry-pick half of each.
"We're not racist, we just happen to not like Asians."
> "is it more right to give privileges to the underprivileged, or take away privileges from the privileged?"

In a world with finite resources (admission spots at Harvard) that are already utilized at their full capacity, it is not possible to have one without the other.
