>Self-motivated learning, I think, is something special.

In certain disciplines, like philosophy or history, where narrative and temporality matter a great deal, "self-motivated learning" often puts people at high risk for falling in with total cranks and walking away with deeply problematic biases.

The problem is that there is a lot of cool, fun stuff in these fields. But to actually understand them, there is also a fair bit of boring stuff about methodology and self-examination where you need to unlearn certain biases and confront a few types of of cognitive dissonance that we all have. Self-styled autodidacts have a tendency to spend a lot of time on the intellectual equivalent of candy and junk food and not enough on the "vegetables," so they come away with weird and unbalanced ideas about how the world works.

> Hearing a 20-something Albertan casually reference "frogs" made the bottom drop out of my stomach. (This was the better part of 20 years ago.)

Still happens today, really. Lots of casual cultural/ethnic (if you consider Quebecois an ethnicity, which is an argument that can be made) racism that is somehow okay. Like how the Irish are often derided as being a bunch of drunks; I'm sure they love that.

I think it got better for a while due to social mobility and the ease of travel - it's harder to blindly dislike or hate a culture when you actually spend some meaningful time immersed in it. But with the recent rise of very nationalistic tendencies across many countries (Canada included, sadly, and from both the French and English populations), I'm worried things will regress.

> P.S. Shawarma Poutine. Whoever's appropriating what, I've made a mental note, for the next time I'm up there.

Oh it's delicious. And as someone pointed out earlier in the comments, I wouldn't call that appropriation. There's a heavy Lebanese/Middle Eastern influence in cuisine, especially in Montréal, due to the partially shared language (French is a common 2nd language for people that live in Lebanon).
This. I mean the term Marx would've used here is reification, we are so terrified to confront our actual practices with one another that we'd rather make out the sum of those practices to appear to be an individual pathology, separate and irresolvable from the domain of how I actually raise my children, their emotional cultivation, or treat others, or even how I relate to myself (which tends to loop back to childhood...).

For those who haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend the film Nightcrawler, which is essentially about the enablement of what we call narcissism/sociopathy in our media-driven society.
1) Yep, and anyone who has worked in a startup knows that these are "bet the company" moments. They had to ramp to model 3, they thought they gave themselves enough room. Turns out the engineering on factories were wrong - in particular Panasonic fscked up the battery assembly system and Tesla screwed up by over automating. That made it closer then they should have.

2) I've never thought that anything the street did around Tesla was rational. I just watched Mark Speigal still hold on to his position that Tesla is doomed.

3) I agree it was irresponsible - but I also disagree with your thesis that it was manipulation. Elon had access to the sales number, and the ramp. He didn't need tweet to inflate the stock - that would have happened (with a much larger market cap then today) at the end of the quarter. That just puts it back to twitter induced stupidity.

Thanks for the well-reasoned response here. I think we are agreed on Tesla governance going forward. I am really praying that the Mullally runner is correct. That would make me a very happy camper.

Reasons not to take your company public.
The timescales of the moats provided by the actual technology in the digital realm have always been short. That's why you see so much time and money spent on broadening and extending copyright and patents... that's the long-term moat.
Compiler optimizations are one of the primary culprits in making it difficult to reason about lock-free programs. Semantics-preserving optimizations in a single-threaded context are not necessarily semantics-preserving in a multi-threaded, lock-free context.

For example, if you're writing a spin-lock, the compiler may lift a read of the lock value out of a loop because, assuming a single thread, the value will never change. This can result in a non-terminating spin-lock. For more see Linux's ACCESS_ONCE.

The example you gave is unfortunate but the consequences of optimizing loops carelessly can be serious.
That's exactly how a white person would respond ;)
Windows is most likely to become another mainframe like OS, with its multiple execution personalties than yet another a Linux distribution.

Thank you for your reply.

The <body> element's start and end tags can indeed be omitted under certain conditions (which are being met in the "Valid HTML5" example). Here is the actual specification quoted from https://www.w3.org/TR/html52/syntax.html#optional-tags:

"A body element's start tag may be omitted if the element is empty, or if the first thing inside the body element is not a space character or a comment, except if the first thing inside the body element is a meta, link, script, style, or template element."

Then in "Example 6", it provides the following as an example of a valid HTML5 document:

<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<title>Hello</title>
<p>Welcome to this example.</p>

Now coming back to your issue, perhaps the selectors in your style do not match the actual elements that TeXMe is setting in the page? I am just guessing here because I need the actual code to be able to nail down the cause of the issue.

If you can share the complete code you have either here or at https://github.com/susam/texme/issues/new, it would really help in determining the cause of the issue.
Intent matters, but so does being aware of the effect of "punching down". Ontario, specifically Ottawa and Toronto, dominate so much in Canada, that people in repressed Quebec, impoverished PEI, or one of Ontario's western colonies may not appreciate it as much as you think.
If you do your own maintenance then it makes even less sense to "pay for quality" because the cost of addressing issues yourself is minimal. It's very rare to have issues out of the blue anyway.

I drive an early 90s shitbox and have an almost exactly 60mi commute. Obviously it would be a massive waste of time to try to keep it in tip top shape at all times but it's really not the stressful "am I going to break down today?" experience that some would think. The main difference between my current shitbox and the variety of late 2000s and early 2010s cars I used to drive for work is that the 90s interior rattles a lot more and there's more wind noise.
I've never used smooth scrolling in any browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE) that didn't feel laggy. It's the first thing I turn off anymore.
Definitely, I was able to see Interstellar at the one in the state museum -- I haven't rewatched it since because nothing could compare to that experience.
You can have the right goal in mind and execute terribly on it.

I think Microsoft has done this a lot in the past. Mobile is the standout example, but even the Skype debacle had some good intentions. Microsoft had a super fragmented ecosystem of "Windows Live", Office, MSN, Skype.. I think it was noble to try and unify everything under one login.

But they tried to push said login down the throats of unsuspecting Windows users (that more often that not didn't use that MS ecosystem but instead used Google's), and (IMO) ruined Skype's usability in the process.

I don't know what the _right_ way of doing it was, but this certainly wasn't it.
I am a paying customer of GitHub. I'd gladly pay more than I do now, if it provided value to me.

As it is, they're moving in a direction that's getting worse for me over time, so "get all my (paid) stuff off GitHub" is on my to-do list.

If you're suggesting that every company that starts with consumer-oriented products must inevitably transition into enterprise-oriented products, I don't believe that to be true. I can think of many counterexamples.
not to be a stickler but I think that the word would be designed. Otherwise you can apply that statement to anything, it's like saying smartphones weren't designed so much as grown organically. Just because requirements, and technology progress doesn't make it any less design for that time.
> There may still be very valid reasons to protest Google in Berlin, but I wonder if the people objecting understood the distinction: that this wasn't a hub for all of Google's employees, but rather a place that would help diversify the tech ecosystem in Berlin and give them access to facilities and other resources.

From what I know about the protest - reading public statements, how the protests began, how they now publicly celebrate their 'victory', and from having seen their early campaign websites - they almost certainly had no idea what a Google Campus is about. At some point certain parts of the campaign learned, but many never left the black & white painting behind for a more nuanced assessment.

What they are publicly exhibiting as "creative street art" may be very telling about their capability for nuance: https://fuckoffgoogle.de/2018/04/17/street-art-against-googl...

There is lots of criticism in Germany right now about these protests having chased away a startup campus.
Musk's tweet would have been totally OK if it didn't include the words "funding secured". That is a past-tense statement that was clearly false.

If he said "I'm planning to take Tesla private" that would have been fine, even if the likelihood of Tesla going private was very remote.

As an IT person, my observation is public companies make similar claims when it comes to IT projects. Claims like we are going to use IBM Watson to improve our call resolution speed by 80%. Only for the project to fail after millions spent with no consequences. Many ERP projects are late and cost twice the budgeted amount. The point I am trying to make is executives always exaggerate.
This twitter thread has some additional information from Wochos vs Tesla in which twelve different former employees told either Musk or Ahuja (CFO) that their production plans were impossible.

I have never eaten Poutine, but that sounds pretty similar to "döner teller mit pommes" [0], a popular variety of the Turkish döner kebab in Germany.

Guess the Poutine has the fries more drenched in gravy? And yes I know, shawarma is not the same as kebab, but for me, they are similar enough.

What you quoted does not at all warrant the response you offered, nor shame on the author.

The notion that human behavior can be manipulated and shaped by careful modulation of input is not remotely new, and it's developed considerably over many decades.

If you don't agree with or understand this, and would like sources, please say so and I'll gladly offer them when I'm at a keyboard.
Your private investors could sue you for this just as much!

You may also some day want employees, and it seems unlikely you will be able to compete in compensation on the private side.
There's also facts: Gutenberg plugin adoption is growing faster than Classic Editor adoption, so it's not likely it will have more active installs than any other plugin. But even if it did, that's okay, we're supporting it. It's not a failing of Gutenberg, just showing that people for whatever reason don't want change.

AFAIK there is no change to database or memory usage post-Gutenberg, especially since pretty much all of the new code executes on the client side when you edit a post. It may use more memory in your browser, but not anything that should cause issues.
What would happen if Bill Gates says "Windows 10 is the best windows ever", is he misleading the stock market? What if he doesn't actually believe its the best Windows? Seems like trying to see a line between optimism and projections an that's idiotic. Seems to me that legally an accusation of misleading the stock market should happen only when putting fake data on official marketing reports or sales reports not about CEO's tweets.
> I feel that covert NPD shares a lot of traits with BPD.

True in a sense some of the symptoms of mania can be the same, but NPD is much different from BPD in that BPD is a mental illness that can be managed with medication and behavioral/situational adjustments. BPD sufferers can be completely normal people under the right conditions.
As a graduate of a Jesuit University...a strong argument can be made that laws are legitimate since they reflect community values. But that same justification means that when laws don't reflect community values (corrupt politicians who may be motivated by greed rather than genuine community values), the laws are not morally legitimate.

I think most would agree that copyright laws fall into the category of "of, by, and for the 1%" as they currently exist. (They would look much different if the only goal was to protect inventors and protect society.)

The point is that the image has been transformed into a latent space encoding and interpolating those latent-space variables creates those mind-blowing effects (imagine just moving from one value to another via a simple convex combination). How are those latent variables constructed and what do they represent (or if they could be described easily) is completely up to non-linear optimization process running on a huge number of dimensions.
UPDATE: Tesla says it has not received subpoena on Model 3 production.

Seems like very sloppy reporting at the WSJ especially when information like this can move markets.

> (Reuters) - Tesla Inc (TSLA.O) said on Friday it had not received a subpoena from the U.S. Department of Justice regarding production guidance for its Model 3 sedans, in response to a Wall Street Journal story that said the electric carmaker was facing a deeper criminal probe.[4]

>The FBI is reportedly looking into whether Musk or the company made projections which they knew they couldn’t meet. [2]

This is wild! This makes 0 sense because Musk admitted a few months ago that he was wrong about automation at the factories. If that is the case, Musk really did believe he could produce those numbers.

How is it possible to try someone of misstating something that was "impossible", when they constantly do the "impossible."

This is what he said a few months ago on CBS This Morning on April 12, 2018:

"“Excessive automation at Tesla was a mistake,” Musk wrote, responding to a Wall Street Journal reporter’s tweet. “Humans are underrated.” He also talked about this with CBS News’ Gayle King, adding “we had this crazy, complex network of conveyor belts….And it was not working, so we got rid of that whole thing.”"[3]

For those that cannot read the WSJ article, this is what I think are the important statements that the WSJ stated:

> A few months later in July, Mr. Musk sounded confident that Tesla would be producing 20,000 Model 3s a month in December 2017, in line with his previous pledge of having 5,000 vehicles a week by year’s end. “Looks like we can reach 20,000 Model 3 cars per month in Dec,” he tweeted on July 2, 2017, days before the first Model 3 rolled off the production line.[1]

> In the early weeks of production, the company’s body shop, where the skeleton of the cars would take shape, wasn’t fully functional, according to an October 2017 article in The Wall Street Journal. Tesla was still hand-building parts of the Model 3s, and the body shop wasn’t fully installed until September, according to people quoted in the article that were familiar with the situation. [1]

> Now the FBI is comparing the company’s statements with its production capability during 2017. [1]

We're definitely working on making it more efficient, and will continue to. We tested with WaitButWhy posts that are 50k+ words. In the old WYSIWYG it wouldn't even load, Gutenberg can parse and load it in a few seconds.

He didn't really make "efficient financing" part of his portfolio of obsessions until recently. That's why suddenly the Musk magic/insanity began applying to doing more with amazingly less on the financial side.
You can lack self-confidence and still have empathy for the welfare of others.

Narcissists see other people entirely as threats or opportunities, not as separate individuals with lives and needs of their own.

They literally have no concept of empathy. Their actions are motivated by a need to destroy and devalue any perceived threats to their fragile self-image, while cultivating people, projects, and situations that make them look and feel good in front of the imaginary audience that judges everything they do.

There's no ability to think of others as equals. Everyone is either better or worse than a narcissist - not just in a passing way, but absolutely, infinitely, and obsessively.
I don’t think this is true. I paid for a personal GitHub plan for years to have the private repos and to support them, back when it was a simpler place. If 100k devs around the world did the same, they’d have enough plenty of money to do what they were doing then.

Instead they insisted on endless growth, hosting All The Projects without bound or limit and I’d say that’s what puts them in hot water, needing crazy amounts of money that individuals can’t provide.
Any vulnerability a white-hat finds is already for sale to criminals and governments on Russian dark-web forums anyway.
That's literally true. The GPS system sacrifices precision in Altitude for precision in Latitude/Longitude.
I'm sure there was "an iota of a possibility" that someone crazy enough would buy Tesla at $420.

Yes, but that is far cry from funding secured. Which company doesn't try to convey the image that they are the best thing the world has ever had the fortune of experiencing?

I partially agree. You can achieve a decent rank solely through good mechanics (APM, mouse accuracy, etc). However, strategy is definitely important at the higher levels of competition.

You've got enough rebuttal on your doubt of Azure.

But another issue with this comment is this:

As far as I can tell, they moved off RackSpace a long time ago. And they only use AWS infrastructure for peering, which makes sense with the amount of AWS machines that pull code from Github.

Well, misleading statements to your shareholders can still result in lawsuits. Lawsuits over this stuff regularly happen even within closely-help family companies. If you really want freedom to make up numbers the only thing to do is not have shareholders. Keep the company all within a single individual.
