No, you can't get away with that, he used very specific phrasing, this sentence:

> Do I think that letting a baby starve to death because it is basically a parasite is morally desirable: no.

Is very different from this sentence:

> Do I think that letting a baby starve to death is morally desirable: no.

The unessential clause in this statement is, "because it is basically a parasite."

Stating it this way allows him to affirm that he thinks starving babies are a parasite on society while also signaling that he is virtuous enough to think its death is an overall negative. What is not stated, rather implied is the but, the but that belongs between the sentence:

> Do I think that letting a baby starve to death because it is basically a parasite is morally desirable: no.

And the sentence:

> Do I find the idea of trying to deduce an entire ethical framework from first principles fascinating and the way it is done interesting: yes

Basically stating: Should starving babies die? No, but, we should consider the entire ethical framework of economics from first principles that maybe requires that these starving babies die so that people are not robbed of their liberty by the taxation that subsidizes the starving babies.

The absurdity is that you defend it by exclaiming, "Those exact words are never stated!" No they are implied, I said they are implied since the beginning. Do you need a dictionary definition of what implication is in order to understand my argument? To understand his argument? To understand exactly how diseased of a philosophy AnCap is? Because that is part of the problem with AnCap, is that it implies much but states little. The implication is that modern principled society is flawed and we should return to a feudal state where the wealthy get to piss on all the plebeians because who fucking cares about peons.
I've read his post, and I think it's "not even wrong", in the sense that his conception of his rights is so fundamentally out of touch with reality, his premises so faulty, that attempting to engage with the arguments he bases on them is not worthwhile for either side.
Wait. Do you mean a cube of silver|gold that's 55|20 meters on one side, as in the width of the cube and not its volume? As in 55^3 = 166,375 m^3 of silver, and 20^3 = 8000 m^3 of gold? That 5.36m diameter cube illustration representing a single year's gold production in the source is already 154 cubic meters.
>slightest critical comment... fanatics... bizarre

I don't know if it's intentional or not, but your comment reads as if you're very angry at Tesla yourself, which makes it harder to take your comment at face value. FWIW, if you're just legitimately trying to make an argument on HN it can be worth trying to be judicious about throwing around terms like "zealot" or "fanatic" or significant hyperbole in general. Furthermore you've started with something more then dubious:

>that Tesla would go through their trip logs

Above link was the first time I'd seen that, looks like it's from 2013. But even just reading Tesla's response alone I noted they said "media drive", as in this wasn't the reporter buying his own car and then writing about it, but getting a temporary loaner from Tesla. It's completely normal and within the rights of a manufacturer offering a loan of something valuable for review purposes to keep logs or check it for reported problems on return, it's their property after all and if there were real flaws they'd want to be able to work on fixing them. After I read further comments made at the time it was stated that private owners logs are theirs in turn, no Tesla cannot go through their trip logs if they write whatever they want. But if you want to just try something out for free, well it's not yours. This would be the same as if you used a company car or system or equipment or whatever, the company may monitor that. And loaners aren't the only way for journalists to do reviews either, Consumer Reports for example famously buys things themselves (with confidential shoppers to boot) precisely to avoid bias or cherry picking or whatever from either side.

Given the above, I have doubts about your assertion of "a lot of potential customers" too. If you have some newer information indicating that Tesla was lying about not logging data of private cars without consent (real consent, with a signature) maybe include that in your post?
That's…quite surprising. It's a cool feature, but I'm afraid that it's just another surface that can will be used for browser fingerprinting.
> Most jobs are bullshit jobs. Employment today is increasingly a heavily biased and ethically corrupt way of implementing UBI.

Based on my experience - the cheaper the labor, the more bullshit jobs. If human resources are expensive, companies are very keen on adapting automation and getting rid of humans. But if a human being for 8 hours a day costs you 500 dollars per month, why bother?

Personally, I don't put Youtube in the social network category because most of its users are passive consumers. I think social networks as systems that explicitly model social connections and whose users have a relatively high ratio of send-actions to receive-actions.

That said, Youtube does have many of the same social problems as Facebook (e.g. use as a cheap and effective channel for pushing disinformation, cultivating hyperpartisan filter bubbles, etc.).
It's built in to the Tesla's on-board navigation. It's not a separate app. The interface on a Tesla shows a big map and it displays Supercharger locations on the map when your range is inadequate or you can also manually show the locations via an icon. It also automatically routes directions to Superchargers if the route doesn't include enough charge to reach the destination.
Logistic regression's decisioun boundary is linear, so it wouldn't work well with the first example as is.
Rashida Tlaib Is Not Fit for Congress
At 35 degrees Celsius (308 K, 95 F), it takes about 44 kilojoules to evaporate 1 mole of water [1]; at 55.6 moles/liter, that's 2.4 megajoules per liter.

Averaged over a year, the energy available to evaporate water over a given area is roughly equal to insolation from the sun. Saudi Arabia has excellent solar resources averaging 2200 kWh/m^2/year [2], e.g. 6 kWh/m^2/day, e.g. 21.7 MJ/m^2/day. With perfect sunlight absorption you could evaporate 9 liters per m^2 of evaporation-pit per day.

They're currently discharging 31.5 billion liters of liquid per day, per the article. That translates to about 3,500,000,000 m^2 (3500 square kilometers) of pit area. So that's probably one reason why nobody deals with desalination brine this way. It would require very large evaporation pits even if you have excellent sun levels to evaporate the waste. It seems like it would be technically possible in SA, as they have a low population density and lots of unused land, but it sounds expensive. Some countries that rely on desalination, like Israel, don't have the spare land area even in theory.

If so many people are being misemployed, why were they hired in the first place? Did they start off doing important work, and then slowly became irrelevant, or do big corporates just hire people without having a clear task for them (yet).

I'm genuinely curious, I've been self employed for about my entire career, so I have no experience with corporate lifestyle.

Take a look at our docs repo: https://github.com/TryGhost/docs, built with Ghost+GitHub+Gatsby.

All of our API docs are maintained by developers who are happiest in git and markdown - so those files live in GitHub, with the added benefit of being available for anyone to contribute to.

Meanwhile, our Ghost(Pro) documentation is maintained by our support team, and integrations & tutorials are maintained by our marketing team - all people who are happiest with the editor and workflows provided by Ghost.

The beauty of JAMstack is just how simple it is to combine multiple sources of data into a single site. Power, flexibility, and most of all choice.

We're not ramming Ghost down anyone's throat. If you don't like it - you really don't have to use it. The decoupling work we are doing intends to make it possible for people to pick and choose bits of Ghost that they do like, and use them however they want.

"Almost all (97%) of crash recovery bugs involve no more than four nodes. This finding indicates that we can detect crash recovery bugs in a small set of nodes, rather than thousands."

This was similar to a claim in the NIST slides on combinatorial, test generation. Most bugs were knocked out by 3-way testing. Virtually none made it past 6-way. They claimed this for diverse set of case studies. I'd love to see more replications to corroborate or refute that.

Man allegedly stole roommate's winning $10M lottery ticket
If Chan was sold into servitude by his parents, I think that's de facto slavery

What would you think of a boarding school, where there is a meritocratic selection of child candidates from among primarily underprivileged families? The families that are selected receive a payment. The child is housed, schooled, and given rigorous training in a prestigious performance art.

Is there something in that which is de-facto slavery? Isn't that a description of the circumstances of Jackie Chan's family? I would agree with you, that there is significant potential in such an arrangement for abuses, but it's not a simple black&white situation for instantly considered condemnation.

you can't sell the personal autonomy of another person, not even your children

Parents often override the personal autonomy of their children "for their own good."

No disagreement.
No, she didn't. She mentioned numerous times in the article that shes always worried about the range and complained about calculating the distances in her head as if she was using a paper map.

I'm not so sure about that.

The Intel playbook has, for the last 8 years, been either "same architecture, same clock speed, less power draw" (remember, Sandy Bridge [2011] and Broadwell [2014] perform within 10% of each other given the same clock speed- a consequence of chasing thin-and-light laptops and tablets) or "same architecture, higher clock speed, more power draw" after Zen hit store shelves. Instructions per clock haven't changed significantly in many years; Intel has just slowly gotten better at hitting higher clocks because smaller transistors pull less power.

Overclockers have known for years that 5GHz is about the maximum that Intel's architectures can do under standard conditions (i.e. not liquid nitrogen), and the bottleneck there has primarily been due to heat generation and not processor instability.

It hasn't escaped Intel that these kinds of clocks were easily possible- they had special CPUs sold at those maximum speeds for high-frequency trading applications (not sold to the general public), and that fact was being kept in reserve as a strategic advantage against potential competition.

But that advantage has already been used up (not that AMD has one at the moment either; Zen and Zen+ have practically zero overclocking headroom on their fastest examples). Intel will need a new architecture to compete, and that's still likely at least a year down the road- and unlike the last time this happened (the Pentium 4 was supposed to reach 5GHz, but capped out at 3.8 for heat and power draw reasons) they don't have another architecture waiting in the wings to save them.
Happy to see a photo of La Alberca. It's probably one of the most beautiful places in Spain, full of traditions, but very often forgotten by Spanish people, because it's isolated from the rest of the country and nowadays too few people live there.

CVE-2019-0547 – Windows DHCP Client Remote Code Execution Vulnerability
I don't know the details, but im sure that if there is a will, there is a way. You can call it a garbage tax, a homeless tax, a hipster tax. The obstacle is political, the same that voted prop 13.

> ..won't happen. The consumers and businesses that rent property (and the workers employed by businesses and whose sustainable potential pay is limited by other costs the employer has to pay to operate) will still bear the burden of the taxes, even if they are directly levied on property owners.

I disagree, this is not what economic theory implies with tax incidence, LVT, etc.
From a philosophical point of view, it seems like a design critique should be focused more on the design and less about where it came from? (Assuming it's open source and there aren't intellectual property issues.)

Industry standards tend to take on a life of their own, even if they came from one company. (Consider Docker.)
I might be misunderstanding you then; it sounds to me like you're saying that companies need to make more money without making any changes to their service. This doesn't seem to make any sense to me; if the service remains exactly the same, then the costs remain the same, so if you keep increasing how much money you make, eventually you'll become profitable and shouldn't need to continue to increase the cost of your product. Am I missing something?
It's almost always a mistake to view your work as important, at least if you work in a typical corporation. Shovel shit and get paid, try to find a better pile of shit to shovel, and/or a better paycheck. That's all there is.

What consensus are you referring to? The Bay Area has fantastic food, many critically-acclaimed restaurants & chefs, and some of the best locally-grown produce and ingredients in the country.

Not saying it's the best; I would certainly rate NYC higher (and with more of long tail cuisine-wise), and would give some other cities a leg up for narrower categories (e.g. LA's Korean food destroys SF easily).

But... "the Bay Area doesn't have very good food"... I'm entirely baffled by that statement.

Automating deployment strategies with Ansible
I think the author brings up some fair points. I respect that she tried to make it about electric cars in general and not Tesla specifically, which is probably why she tried to avoid relying 100% on the supercharger network. In that way, it could be more balanced than an article merely about the Tesla world.

OTOH, the very first thing I did was bring up the Tesla supercharger map and see 8 superchargers between Paris and Mannheim, with no more than 160km between any of them. It seems like she basically ended up testing the worst of both worlds.
I don't, im pretty sure is well below that. But its how much it spends. Precisely, as homeowners are disproportionately voters, the following step would be to restrict goverment spending: who wants to pay 2600 a month for a closed transit station, heroin needles and exporting homeless people.

But now, the homeowner gets a very sweet deal, probably 50k a year in rental per unit he has.
But the project moved ahead, and the company said it would retrain Gary to work on the new printers. It turned out he wasn’t much interested in learning a new job three decades into his career, however, and took the news as the latest in a long line of slights from management.

To me, it seems the larger problem is a lack of willingness to learn a new technology/role. Gary had an opportunity to learn the new way to 3d print molds. He chose to disregard it. [He pushed back. Production was slowed]* He no longer was needed.

because Dindim was rescued, fed and stayed with Mr. Joao for the entire part of the year where the species usually stay in the beach and breed, along the coast of Patagonia, it imprinted Ilha Grande as it’s land based home instead. When all the Magellanic penguins are going to Patagonia, Dindim goes to Ilha Grande and recognises Mr. Joao. Penguins are usually very loyal to their partner. They may live for over 25 years and usually mate with the same individual in the same nest every year. This site and partner fidelity certainly facilitated the development of the relationship between Dindim and Mr. Joao. The relationship was created by the accident suffered by Dindim and by Joao having rescued him.

"sold half of Europe to the Russians"

Huh? The Russians got control over half of Europe because they were among the major parties that defeated the Germans in WWII.

Meanwhile, both of the other things happened during a war in which the United States was the defender, not the attacker. They were ultimately in self-defense. There were probably ways of winning WWII that didn't involve quite as many civilian casualties, but hindsight is 20/20, and it ain't like either country the US bombed at that time was in the slightest bit innocent.

Besides, at least in the case of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, there's reason to believe the lives lost on both sides would've been significantly higher had the US not used nuclear weapons. The atom bombs were ultimately a bluff, the goal being to convince the Emperor of Japan to surrender early (by leading him to believe that America was equipped to wipe Japan off the face of the Earth in an instant) instead of continuing to convince his country to fight to the death. Had that bluff failed - or had the US not had a nuclear option - the Pacific Theater would've continued to be a bloodbath.

It was a decision that cost a lot of civilian lives, but the alternatives were worse.
EVs in general, and specifically NOT Tesla. If it was specifically about Tesla, she'd have used the superchargers exclusively and had a much better experience. OTOH, if she had used another EV with the same range, and not bothered to sign up for the various public charging networks' cards, she'd have had a much worse experience. This is.. a weird hodgepodge.
