I agree with the "don't give them feedback" but for a different reason.

If the company has this psycho in there interview rotation, he sends a strong negative signal, basically the company has a "tell" that candidates can use to avoid this guy or companies that would employ him.

If the recruiter coaches them to hide their "tell" [removed the guy from the interview rotation], they haven't really fixed the problem, just hidden it. Now, the next guy/girl who interviews won't know about the horrible guy he/she will be working with because the company "hid" him from view until it was too late.

This is an interesting concept but for some reason I expected it to be a curated list and not a list of unvetted user submissions. Still interesting though, just different than my expectations.
The chances of anyone raising a copyright claim for a 36 year old book relating to obsolete technology are quite low.
The title should have been "Monorepos: Please don't, at scale", but I suspect it was made intentionally controversial.
I'm starting to think that merging the power and data connections was a REALLY bad idea... Sometimes all I want to do is wire up something to a battery and some resistors to at least get me online long enough to send something important. Unless I'm missing something, that's getting harder and harder every revision.

EDIT: Yea, I know I'l probably cause some amount of damage in the process.
Toyota was founded in 1937, so it has a 80 year head start. I didn't say anything about market cap, but Toyota's is not valued as a growth stock.
Exactly. If it's a wired connection requiring physical access what is being protected? For the benefit of which party?
Sure, and Samsung and Huawei sell more phones than Apple. Probably Tesla is overvalued but that doesn't mean it isn't very valuable. Pricing power is much more important than volume.
I wish more shift work was done this way. There have got to be so many people working grueling hours and harming themselves otherwise needlessly.
When I was seven I got a (used) Commodore 64, and learned a ton experimenting with it. Started me on a path to eventually running a small tech company. So I hear you there. My oldest is 6 now, and I definitely want to get her started on similar things.

I certainly won't be giving her unsupervised access to my work computer though. Instead I'll start her on an old laptop with some flavour of Linux, and no internet connection. I'll also take an LVM image, so she can tinker to her heart's content and we can easily revert if it goes wrong. I expect she'll learn far more than she could using my work machine, where there are all kinds of things that could she'd have to be careful with, and that could cost me hours of work (or even worse, potentially, with email access and such).

Separately I'm also introducing her to minecraft, which is fantastic for exploration. Of course it needs an internet connected computer, but there's more supervision for that one when she's outside of the game.

It's funny, thinking back to getting that Commodore 64, I remember the best piece of tech advice I ever got, again when I was 7-8 or so. My parents' friend, who had previously owned the computer (my parents, like most people in the 80s, didn't have a computer) was teaching me how to use the word processor. He taught me how to create a new document, I think, and I was going over the steps, like "press alt, press f, press n..." And he says, no, no... Don't just memorize the steps—understand what they do, and you won't have to remember them. Then he goes through explaining how alt tells the computer you're going to start a command, f refers to the file menu, which has commands relating to... etc. Stuck with me like nothing else, and that attitude was hugely beneficial in not just computer science, but all aspects of life.

It's a bit tangential to the "don't push buttons" thing, but only somewhat. In both case the point is that you want to not just do things, but think through them and understand them. In my mind, that's a great lesson for kids.

I've come to believe that USB-C is a mistake that we will all regret.

USB-C enthusiasts are (from my experience) people who haven't really used it much and think that they will be able to get around with a single cable and a single connector standard.

People who actually tried to use it for a number of things quickly realize that USB-C is just the name of the physical connector, which has nothing to do with what the device supports, which in turn has nothing to do with what the (unlabeled!) cable supports. There are no standards for labeling devices or cables, so you quickly end up in a world where you have a bunch of cables and devices all using a single plug, but you have no idea which device will work with what. I daresay this is a worse situation than having multiple types of plugs and cables, because at least then you could set reasonable expectations.

Add to this the fact that there are no reliable hubs for USB-C connectors, so you're basically stuck with what your laptop/computer offers, unless you want to live in a world of crappy unreliable hardware (I don't).
Agreed, these are both killer apps for Tesla.
I've got a 3 and have driven my car with Autopilot and a few Model S with autopilot, and it's crazy tech. To me, it's not worth the money, so I didn't order it, but to others, it's the entire reason to buy the car.

Even though I've only used superchargers 4 times in 6 months, it absolutely solves the EV roadtrip FUD in a way that nobody else has figured out yet.

I think one reason to limit to base 10 is because we don't have an arbitrary number of digits, we only have maybe 36 if we use the full alphabet. And it will be difficult for people to follow along with if it's something they aren't used to calculating in. But I'm also guessing the results will become a lot less "rare" which is part of the cool factor here.
What is a massive red flag about a new workplace?
Tesla is the ONLY player with a direct to consumer model. They are a native EV start up. All others right now are legacy car makers (non native) using the old franchise distribution model. Tesla OS is its bread and butter. They built the vehicle from scratch for EV. They effectively "PULLED" ever other car maker into the MIX. The legacy car makers had no other choice but to jump into the fray and take their chances.

The answer is probably the same as for the internet - encourage development in the west, possibly with some DAPRA type subsidies to counter the Chinese subsidising their own.
> Just like with today's iPhone, you couldn't write programs on the device itself.

Tell that to the developers of Swift Playgrounds, Codea, Pythonista, Continuous, Hopscotch, Scratch Jr, Pyonkee, and plenty of other apps.

(Yes, I am aware that one can do a lot less with these than native development with Xcode, but that "less" is still non-zero. In the case of apps like Codea or Pythonista, a few now-native iOS games started life in those apps because they expose quite a lot of the native frameworks to the user.)
And I use an Aukey charger on my Switch. I never even used the stock one, it still is in the box. OP is misleading everyone by mixing the dock problem (which counterfeits can brick the switch) with something he imagined.

Free speech norms ≠ free speech absolutism.

People could rightly have complained from a "free speech" position if the NYT published only left-wing letters-to-the-editor. They could also rightly complain if the NYT explicitly refused to publish a totally reasonable opinion piece (or more extreme: refuse a paid ad that was totally reasonable) because of tangential critiques of the author's statements in other contexts.

Does that mean the NYT would have to do whatever the complainers say? No. But such complaints fairly relate to the ideas of "free speech norms" regardless of the NYT being an independent business.

I was once told by a Mozilla policy person in DC that Thunderbird was outdated and people should use webmail. They liked Gmail better and didn't see the point of using an IMAP client. It was a weird conversation.

I understood it was just their personal opinion, but finding myself advocating for Thunderbird against someone who works for Mozilla was a little strange. My take away was that Mozilla doesn't really know what its priorities should be and there is significant disagreement within the org about what they should be spending resources on.

I, too, found this really odd. I was a reservation holder for the 3, and none of that garbage 'accounting' showed up when logged in. It was only when going to the PR-ified website for non-account-holders that I found the gas savings priced in. Strange.
I don't disagree it's a relevant factor, but it's a bit disingenuous to list it like part of the MSRP.
I've mulled getting one from time to time. But they'd do a fraction of my house. I'm sure they'd have issues with cords and stuff lying around waiting to be packed or to be put away. Etc.

I've been getting most of my updates for this from /r/space personally, but I think that's the main attraction of HN for me. I don't need to curate my own list of subreddits to get links to content that interests me, because it's all (mostly) likeminded people on here that are on average interested by the same kind of stuff as me. I find more new interests on here than I ever could on reddit looking through my preconceived list of interests.
I'm failing to see how this is complicated. Imagine the following:

1) A token gets compromised.

2) You know which token. You need to revoke access.

3) You introduce state by storing said token on disk / in memory somewhere.

Key takeaways:

1) The authentication system (not the token) is now stateful. 2) You now have to check this data store to properly allow authentication.
3) A core benefit of JWT (stateless auth) is gone.

Your comparisons between power production of nuclear and solar is somewhat misleading since you are forgetting the low capacity factor of solar.

In terms of power production of solar in China:

>...The contribution to the total electric energy production remains modest[8] as the average capacity factor of solar power plants is relatively low at 17% on average. Of the 6,412 TWh electricity produced in China in 2017,[9] 118.2 TWh was generated by solar power, equivalent to 1.84% of total electricity production.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_China

In comparison:

>...Nuclear power contributed 3% of the total electricity production in 2015, with 170 TWh,[1] and was the fastest-growing electricity source, with 29% growth over 2014.[4

As far as long range plans in China:

>...By mid-century fast neutron reactors are seen as the main technology, with a planned 1400 GW capacity by 2100

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_power_in_China

In short, it looks like China is doing what any smart country is trying to do: develop all non-carbon based energy sources that they can.

> How do you skip a step in a proof?

Well, from the math profs I've seen, the usual method is to interpose “it is intuitively obvious” in place of the skipped step(s).

The tricky part is having a correct intuition as to what you should be skipping to, sure, but that's the same problem as you have doing a proof (minus actually figuring out the justification) since humans don't generally do proofs by exhaustively listing every possible next step from what is already proven in a BFS until getting the desired result and then pruning all the other paths.

Yeah predicting we won’t have trump as president at the end of the year has lost its meaning. It’s been a recurring message since before he even took office and it’s failed every step of the way to be the reality.

To me it seems pretty unlikely that there’s a bulletproof case to actually remove trump from office. In two years we basically have the same sentiments that trump was involved in illegal activity that we did back in 2016. I’d hope our government wasn’t so broken that it would take 3/4 of a term to get someone out. I remember a lot of the right saying the same with Obama getting impeached, while he enjoyed a full two terms.

At the end of the day the impeachment cries seem much more like wishful thinking on behalf of the party not in power than a realistic outcome.
