Money quote: For automotive applications where 80% capacity is considered end-of-life, using tab cooling rather than surface cooling would therefore be equivalent to extending the lifetime of a pack by 3 times, or reducing the lifetime cost by 66%.

Are Engineers Educated, or are they merely trained?
Alternately, really any visual screen space, including an icon, can be an acceptable target for innovation - its when the technology used opens avenues for other things to be done by unscrupulous or malicious actors that it becomes a problem.

People introducing new functionality need to be incentivized to focus on sand-boxing it in some way before we accept it as a web-standard tech. Barring that, limiting functionality is preferable. But business is business, so adequate measures are generally not taken, either out of cost-saving, or deliberately.

Also, these types of irresponsible practices now constitute an indispensable core of how large modern web-apps work. They exist in a moral gray area, where it can be argued that problematic practices are outweighed by their net benefit to user experience, and misuses of the technology can be blamed on malicious outside actors who have found a loophole. If you build a giant information weapon, you are also culpable for any of its misuses, no matter how unintended they might be.

I currently don't see a way of changing things without some kind of regulation, as problematic government interference can be. The incentives here are possibly too strong for the market to sort it out, at the current state of public awareness. Current efforts in the US seem to be focusing on pressuring companies to self-regulate, but they have still have little real incentive to do so.

Another complicating factor may be the rate in which innovation arises in the tech sector - most burgeoning industries spend some time in a regulatory wild-west, but as the issues become known, laws gradually catch up and a status-quo is reached. Now, its possible that by the time any technology has matured enough to have a widespread regulatory harness applied to it, another technology has already superseded it, and the regulatory void is renewed.

What was the lie exactly?

"Funding secured" after the Saudi repeated multiple times that they would pay cash for the operation – which was refused repeatedly in the past by Elon himself? Since most shareholders wanted to remain, the cost of the operation was estimated to be below $20B so who doubt that the funding wasn't secured?
It's harder than you might think to control for multiple comparisons. The Bonfaroni correction assumes that each experiment is independent, and so penalises correlated experiments unnecessarily harshly.

On the other hand, other tests typically require the researcher to make explicit assumptions on the correlation structure of the experiments despite the fact that it is not directly observable.
> Many important tasks take concentrated effort over many days or weeks.

This is commonly claimed, but I've never seen an example (in software) that stood up to scrutiny. People can always find a way to deliver some useful, visible value within two weeks of one person's work if they spend 5 minutes actually trying to think of a way to do it.

> Its pointless to go to standup and say "I've a problem with logging in the presence of disk errors, where the driver interacts with the log buffering by generating more log messages". Nobody going to offer useful help without actually recapitulating the work you've already done. So what's the point?

If you're making progress on your task and just need to spend some more time, it's fine to just say as much. If you've been stuck for a while, maybe it is time to ask someone else to come work on the problem with you - or at least time to warn the end client that what you're doing is going to be late. Taking a few minutes once a day to look back and decide whether you're actually making any progress or need to stop and reassess is about the right cadence, rather than blindly bashing your head against the problem for weeks or months.

(Sometimes bashing your head against the problem for weeks or months is the right thing, but it should be an explicit, conscious decision to do that)

And the flipside is that it gives people who need input from you a scheduled point to ask for it, rather than interrupting your work. Presumably you're working on the same product with these people and so what you do affects each other - otherwise why are you in the same standup or even the same team?
Good observation!

Even if we assume 90% uptime, it’s going to needs some maintenance, it comes out to a levelised cost of $6.34 an hour, plus parts and labour for the maintenance.

This still blows human labour out of the water because robots don’t complain about conditions, and they don’t intentionally run off with trade secrets.

Apple is proposing a new CSS color-filter property [1], which would do the same thing as Mail does for its content. Actually, Apple is already using color-filter internally in the Mail app.

Safari allows setting user style sheets in its Preferences: Advanced > Style sheet, so one could perhaps add a user style sheet with color-filter.

And they keep hiring amazing people, so what's the problem? Isn't it great to have people come and go if they remain strong believers in the company and are ready to work again with Tesla?

> His Twitter phone can connect to the internet only over a Wi-Fi connection

There was a lot of criticism regarding him using Twitter with regards to computer safety. I would think that the CIA or Secret Service approaches Twitter in such a case and tries to work out a custom solution to make extra sure the account isn't vulnerable to tampering. Like 2FA where he gets the pins from an assistant or something like that.
It's definitely not true that all soldiers carried a sword at the time -- for the most part, only the cavalry and officers did. Infantrymen had muskets (rarely rifles) and bayonets, and often knives/daggers. Even in the pre-gunpowder era most soldiers did not carry swords; the spear/shield was much more typical as a primary infantry armament. In massed warfare a spear is a better weapon than a sword, and it's cheaper to boot. Bayonets of the revolutionary war era basically served the purpose of turning muskets (which were already long) into spears, for use in close combat and especially against cavalry.

The most notable exception being a few centuries' worth of Roman doctrine, in which swords were used in combination with throwing spears as primary armament.
Sure, but then...

You know, there hasn’t been a technological advancement we’ve managed to refrain from using. So it’s either it’s just a matter of time, or it’s not possible due to some limitation(a).

> Who cares if they're actually standing? They can lay on the floor if you ask me, as long as they can share the status with team members.

Standing up was a specific solution to a specific problem. There may be other ways to achieve the same thing, but you should be aware of what you're doing.

> Your standup should be about tasks, not about people. The difference is subtle, because it the end everyone should share the same info - progress, blockers, etc. But by checking on tasks the team members automatically build mental model of current iteration. How far are they? Is the tempo OK? Or maybe there's some delay and, finally, can they deliver on time?

This really doesn't seem such an important distinction. You assign tasks to people in your iteration planning; if a task is stuck it will be because a person is stuck on it and vice versa.

"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."

A null result (no significant evidence for anything, a p value above 0.05) is truly null. It doesn't even confirm the null hypothesis.

Common wisdom says that Statistical Hypothesis Inference Testing doesn't work because researchers engage in "P Hacking". That's a half truth, researchers really don't understand the meaning of the p-value.
Modern combat rifles have much worse stopping power than older muskets, too, because the old guns fired really large and damaging bullets. The difference is you now get 30 shots before having to reload instead of one, so you don't resort to hand to hand combat when the first shot doesn't stop them; you just keep shooting.

If you want RPC and PUB/SUB over Websocket, you have the "Web Application Messaging Protocol" standard, which has implementations for Python, JS (node and in browser), PHP, C# and Java.

The best things about it is that you don't have to write the message schemas in advance, only the function signatures.
Note: at the beginning, you speak about learning a function "g" that approximates a function "f", then later, you swap them and learn a function "f" that approximates "g". That could be confusing;

Web Scraping with Curl Dom Parser: Create a Kindle Dashboard
I was unable to find a solution that was able to monitor my websites and servers using a single service, so I decided to develop something[0] to scratch my own itch. It has been open for almost a year now and it is slowly gaining some traction. :) It allows you to monitor your server for resources, your websites for the uptime, SSL certificate, broken links and mixed contents errors. It also has a public status page for you to use. Also the setup is extremely easy as it is just a single binary (and it is open source!) to run using your own crontab.

Feel free to let me know what you think about it, feedback is always greatly appreciated.

I’ll have to check Apple Books for this when it makes it into release WebKit. Currently we’re using :root[__ibooks_internal_theme*="Night"] to target the dark mode there (inverting black and white SVGs, etc.), but if we can use a more standardised media query that’d be a benefit.
Exactly! Stop government funded research!

Today, most science is funded by government agencies, like the NIH. This means, bureaucrats who know nothing about science allocate other people's money to research they don't care about. Since they don't understand the research, they need objective measures of "research quality", and they picked number of publications and impact factor of the journals as measures. What you measure becomes your objective, and we got "publish or perish" and all sorts of scientific misconduct.

Science needs a free market, too.

They sure as hell do not "all" carry bayonets. Most don't (dead weight), and they are so very rarely used in modern combat that every time I ask for a cite it's always that one skirmish in Afghanistan from over a decade where no one was even stabbed with a bayonet that gets linked.

Bayonets are obsolete, period, full stop. They aren't used in modern warfare to any degree that affects anything at all.

> if you can’t observe any difference from safe code, then despite having different intensional/operational definitions, they are extensionally equivalent, and that’s mostly what I care about.

That's true if the only things you care about are the things that are visible from safe code. But if you care about performance characteristics (which is presumably the whole point of this kind of monad) then code that gives the same result but has different performance characteristics is not equivalent for your purposes.

Ultimately, if x and y are marked as equivalent then a future maintainer will expect to be able to blindly replace x with y - and by convention that's true of <hnmarkupisbad> and ap. So you shouldn't define <hnmarkupisbad> and ap in such a way that replacing one with the other will change important characteristics of the code - you should only make things look equivalent in your code if they are equivalent for your purposes.
As a now fluent speaker of the language, I can tell you it is one of the easiest languages you can learn. There are very few exceptions (most come only from the predominant Tehran dialect), no irregular verbs, a strict but easy grammar. Understanding Hafez might require a bit of side knowledge and the use of more outdated words, anyway.
Getting a null result doesn't prove that the null hypothesis is true. It means that we can't say anything with confidence based on this experiment. There is a huge difference between failing to make X work and proving that X doesn't work and I fear that if people start conflating the two then many potentially productive routes will abandoned far too early,

Yes. A character falls to their death off a "cliff" that would be imperceptible to humans.

Another striking feature from the novels, not mentioned in the article but hinted at in the illustration, is the extremely strong magnetic field, creating an easy direction of travel (parallel to the field) and a hard direction (orthogonal to the field). The relative difference is so extreme that most cheela spend their lives just going back and forth, only running into other tribes when they're forced by circumstances to travel in the hard direction.

This is massive for Tesla. I cannot imagine they have achieved this after the tumultuous last few months. Tesla is bigger than Musk, that's the key to its success.

Congrats Tesla. Your growth is a source of inspiration for me.
It becomes unethical as soon as you discover the vulnerability and refuse to disclose it.

It's like if you have a key to an apartment and you move out without the landlord asking for it back. It's not unethical if you then discover that the key still works. It becomes unethical when you do not disclose this fact. Worse still if you start making copies of the key and selling it to people who intend to break into that apartment.

Amusingly not even illegal strike allows one to fire someone. In Finland even illegal strike gives you protection from retribution and the damages are capped at around 24000€ total (not per employee, but total sum for the strike and this is paid by union).
