The difference is that narcissism is grandiose and fragile, based on a need for admiration rather than actual confidence, and fills in for a lack of self-worth. Confidence doesn't prevent you from acknowledging mistakes or flaws. Narcissism does, because their self worth is based on achievement and imagined flawlessness. They think that without these things they would be worthless and unlovable.

"Windows 10 is the best Windows ever" isn't a projection, though. People wouldn't rush out to buy MS stock based on a statement like this. I hope not, anyway.

"We're going to sell 800 million Windows 10 licenses this quarter" would be a projection. People might buy MS stock based on something like this. Publicly traded companies routinely provide earnings guidance based on production/sales forecasts. And earnings guidance absolutely has an impact on share price. So if a company is knowingly providing unlikely guidance figures, they're also knowingly misleading the market.

I'm just speaking generally here. I don't know enough about the Tesla case to comment one way or another.
Ok... yet 99% of development is trying to write bug-free and readable code and do it pragmatically.

Elixir gives you that plus a lot of goodies that are really hard to get in other languages. The creators of Erlang were really clever and in my opinion, so are the creators of Elixir. If I ever were "bullish" on a language, Elixir would be it.

Elixir is a very pragmatic language. It doesn't get in your way, but still forces decent habits and design on your application.
This was supposed to be a key aspect of the original idea for EPCOT, too: streets would be tri-level, cars on the lowest level, delivery trucks on the next level, and above-ground restricted to pedestrians. You can see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPCOT_(concept) for more information.

Open sourcing isn’t likely but Microsoft has always shared a lot of source even if true open source is a recent thing for them. Doing their shared source initiatives through GitHub (as read only) wouldn’t be surprising at all.
“Overly optimistic”, by definition, is asking for trouble.

I’m not a lawyer, but I think even just optimistic projections should be avoided at all costs in earnings forecasts. They may be fine, if accompanied with a zillion “if all stars align” phrases, but it’s a minefield best avoided.

https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2012/11/08/giving-good-guida... (near the end, after a zillion warnings to be careful):

”Viewed with hindsight, overly optimistic guidance can result in financial cost to the company and its directors and officers.”
Except that all those IAAS solutions must be setup / manage by ops / devops, regular dev have no clue about architecture, infrastructure as code, security, backup, alerting, best practices ect ...

I have yet to see a dev with good ops skills. DevOps are not dev that moved into ops world it's quite the opposite. It's Ops people that moved into dev teams.

The other thing is also that dev usually don't want to do that, and when you force a dev to do ops things it gets very dangerous.

I live in a Canadian province that is blessed with many sources of renewable energy. We have enough potential hydro in the north to power much of Canada, and extremely favourable conditions for solar and wind energy. Despite all of these benefits, our power is still almost wholly generated by coal fired power plants (and our ruling party predictably opposes any attempts at a carbon tax).

Because of that, I believe that if fusion were to become viable, at least in my part of the world, it would have to start with a serious shift in worldview. People would have to become politically astute enough not to fall for stupid Trumpian divisive tactics. And, we would have to adopt a stance in which the far future is as important as our present.

I really wonder what kind of advancements a species like that would want to make. My suspicion is that a species like that would invest much of the savings into completely eliminating the very concept of poverty.

I know that eliminating poverty isn't a terribly sexy answer, but I think it's the most likely big change.

Consider: yesterday Amazon announced quarterly results and projections. It wasn't very rosey: next quarter will see growth, but less than usual. The stock took an immediate 10% hit.

Now, what if they had been 'optimistic'? Well, they might have said "yeah we're going to keep hitting growth targets!" And the stock would have done very well today. All those employees holding stock would have seen a nice boost to their bottom line.

But it is the responsibility of a publicly traded company to provide such accurate forecasts to the best level they can so that the stockholders- members of the public like you and me- can make decisions based on facts, not hopeful opinions. Amazon had to tell the truth even when it personally cost everyone in the company some net worth.

This is just one cost/responsibility that comes with being publicly traded.

I started programming DVDs back in the mid-to-late 90s. I got out of shiny round discs right about the time the HD-DVD/Blu-ray war was still raging recognizing that streaming was the future. I wasn't that entrenched into the HD disc formats, but I remember reading the master key for AACS was leaked making it easy to circumvent. It wasn't as easy as DVD's CSS to crack, but once the master key was in the wild it was game over. Just another example in the wild of why backdoors/master-key encryption concepts are bad.

Keep in mind that it wasn't simply "Muslims" that attacked us on 9/11, but rather a specific group of Muslims, from the other side of the world, who cited specific grievences against the US (related to our foreighn policy regarding Isreal and Saudi Arabia).

If it was simply the case that Islam causes terrorism, we would expect terrosists to have a much more diverse set of origins, to match the geographical diversity of Muslims.
I never asked anyone to run a business on "hopes, dreams, and aspirations". I'm a paying GitHub customer. They could have raised prices on me and I'd still pay.

People used to say, "If you're not paying, you're the product", so I've been careful not to depend on any free-with-a-catch services. I guess now I have to be extra careful not to depend on any VC-funded services, either, because if I'm not as rich an income stream as the corporate world, I'm still not the real customer.
I say this as a person who has been abused by a string of relationships with folks who almost certainly have some variation of NPD, not as a clinician. So take this with a big 'ol grain of salt.

A lot of the epistemological problems for people who are pathologically narcissistic come from understanding the difference between how they see things and how other people see things.

Part of the pathology is that they have a filter set up to protect a fragile image of themselves, and so they often don't understand why other people are acting in some way, specifically when other people's actions are only explicable in ways that contradict the fragile image.

They aren't able to take in information that would allow them to modify their behavior because even mild criticism will harm their understanding of themselves, and since that filter is strong they have a hard time knowing the difference between useful criticisms and all the other reasons people say mean or hurtful things to them.

This disconnection appears similarly to other pathologies where people have issues identifying other peoples' motivations.

For instance, most people have a healthy skepticism of other people's negative reactions: even though other people might think I'm a jerk for, say, constantly name dropping some person some behavior, I will probably keep doing it for a bit.

But at some point, I will (hopefully) notice the trend in negative reactions and either rework the name dropping habit so that other people find it interesting/relevant or understand that it's something that I should change about myself. But if I have such a strong filter against criticism of my identity that literally anything could harm that identity, I might not pick up on social cues that would tell me I need to alter my behavior.

I don't know a lot about asperger syndrome, so this is totally my lay-person's interpretation, but basically they seem similar because they both involve dysfunctions with how people parse other peoples' behavior.
Whenever I see someone saying something like "just a tool" with regard to technology, I always want to recommend a thorough read of Marshall McLuhan's "Understanding Media" ("The Medium is the Message" and other adages).

I think you've got it precisely the wrong way round: it is not the morality of the times that is reflected by the use of technology, but morality that reflects current technology.

The French and American revolutions that began the current age of modern democracy are, for example, unthinkable without the printing press. No newspaper, no democracy. It needed the equalising force of mass-copied text to abolish the sacred order of monarchy in people's heads. Similarly, it is hard to imagine fascism without the preceding inventions of radio and cinema. Or J.F.K. without television.

Culture, society, customs, morality - everything that has to do with what we call 'evil' or 'good' - is fundamentally a reflection of their surrounding media. Morals under the conditions of television will be different from morals under the condition of the world wide web.

One can see that we are currently struggling to adapt our morality to a new media reality by the invention of new words ("fake news", "filter bubble", "clickbait", "post-truth") to describe it; the old ones are insufficient.

I propose that rules and guidelines that emerged under the conditions of offline media will leave us vulnerable to the dark and dangerous sides of online media. We should develop new ones.
A true narcissist thinks they're better than everyone at everything. Trump is the best example of a narcissist I've ever seen. For example:

"I know more about renewables than any human being on Earth."

"I understand social media. I understand the power of Twitter. I understand the power of Facebook maybe better than almost anybody"

"Nobody knows more about debt. I'm like the king. I love debt."

"I think nobody knows more about taxes than I do, maybe in the history of the world. Nobody knows more about taxes.

"Nobody knows banking better than I do"

"I understand money better than anybody."

"I think nobody knows the system better than I do."

"I know more about contributions than anybody."

"Nobody knows politicians better than Donald Trump."

"Nobody knows more about trade than me."

"Nobody knows jobs like I do! Don’t let them sell you out!"

"Nobody in the history of this country has ever known so much about infrastructure as Donald Trump."

"There's nobody bigger or better at the military than I am."

"I know more about ISIS than the generals do. Believe me."

"There is nobody who understands the horror of nuclear more than me."

"Because nobody knows the system better than me. I know the H1B. I know the H2B. Nobody knows it better than me."

"I’m very highly educated. I know words; I have the best words."

"No one has more respect for women than me."

"I have the best temperament or certainly one of the best temperaments of anybody that’s ever run for the office of president. Ever."

"Nobody reads the Bible more than me."

"I’m the most successful person ever to run for the presidency, by far. Nobody’s ever been more successful than me."

Tired yet? Because I could go on all day with these. That's what it's like to be an actual narcissist. If that's not like you, you're probably not a narcissist.

I'll also add that its powerful and easily deployable macro facilities due to its homoiconicity hurts adoption as well. Macros and dsls can make for increased productivity /decreased loc for individuals and small teams, but the same features can be not so good for large teams and communities, as each program may tack on more and more macros to keep in mind before fully understanding the code being read. I find it easier to read through even a lengthy file of c code using the same old familiar primitives, ymmv.

It's not Luddism, because the "tech" in question here isn't technology but consumerism via consumer technology. When everything is abstracted how it is nowadays, the technological aspects are hidden from the end user. Teaching your kids to tap on a touchscreen doesn't constitute technology. Neither does knowing how to use an online search engine, or resource like, say, wikipedia. All of that an abstracted package that just happens to utilize technology on its backend, which the end user doesn't require to know or understand. All that is required is memorization, to familiarize oneself, mostly of UI elements and how all this abstraction links and works together. To be against the growing societal trend that fosters a dependency on these resources and the habits that form with them isn't to be against technological advancement.

And how are you supposed to teach kids about privacy when most consumer technology from the get-go is privacy harming? If you buy a child their first smartphone, do you tell them to not use SMS because it's plaintext, to not use any of the popular communications apps because they're owned by FB or whoever else, or to not use their phone at all because of cellular location tracking? How to you explain to them they can't watch Netflix on the TV, because the TV isn't allowed to connect to the internet to prevent it phoning home? No, convenience trumps all, and we all know the current state of things is that even if people are made aware of privacy issues, they'll disregard them if even slightly inconvenient.

There is no responsible way to "teach" consumer technology, at least not the way you mention. I mean, how exactly is the generalization "too much tech isn't good" relevant to technology? This is just common sense, it applies to everything. If kids are staying up late reading comic books and subsequently performing poorly in school, this is no different than the habit of staying up late on your phone. And, I reiterate, the latter has nothing to do with technology but with consumption. You either foster a (ever-growing) dependency in them, or you don't. And as you write, the former is inevitable, but then so is a lack of privacy, and so are the bad habits that are inherent to consumer technology.

Oracle's Larry Ellison Discloses Tesla Stake, Sees ‘A Lot of Upside’
I haven't bought a car for more than $2,500 in decades. In Minnesota all those decades, with snow and salt problems. I have had to educate mechanics in person by paying mechanics on the internet to answer questions. I do keep a spare car so I don't have to buy one in a hurry when one is on the way out. Only once bought a car from a family member in that time.

But it's pretty well established that near end-of-life cars are cheaper on an annual basis than at other points in their lifespan. I don't know anything about cars myself. Never worked on one. By buying before I need to (mostly) negotiation is easier. I can wait for the right price.

My biggest mistake was buying a (probably) repaired-after-crash car for $2,000 and not reselling it soon enough—everything kind of went at once. Best buy was $100 for a non-running car that a mechanic had been puzzled by that needed only $450 to fix, and is still running, five years later. (It did have a windshield crack that was hit by a tree branch before I could pay to get it repaired, so additional luck there—insurance covered the branch situation, but not the pre-existing crack).

All this said, I'm considering buying a new Model 3.

(The original idea behind) PCs continued to exist long after networking, in the form of video game consoles. A Gameboy Advance isn't all that different from an Apple II or an IBM-compatible PC running DOS: both focus on running one executable and giving it complete control over banging bits toward "rich" I/O devices, where instead of abstractions over ugly low-level interfaces, the peripherals have been designed with nice ABIs that are their canonical APIs (and, until the ARM era, the CPUs themselves were also designed such that their ISA, as written in macro-assembler, was the canonical "high-level" language.)

Of course, eventually game consoles became networked too...
