It may have been news to the general public, but chances are car manufacturers didn’t really need awake up, as they already had drawn conclusions from the sales figures of the Leaf. Chances are, too, that they thought “if we offered a car below cost, we also could rake in orders”.

I think it will be years before we know whether Tesla’s gamble will pay of for the company.

Let me rephrase: I can't name a single market development that I can convincingly argue was significantly influenced by the launch (or success) of Nissan Leaf.

Nissan is way more effective than Tesla at mass-production, yes. But there's not one single market where Leaf is their most successful model (certainly true for 2017, I suspect for 2018 htat's also true).

[edit] Maybe that's true; I'm not saying that Tesla will win the market long term.

To make an analogy: you can say Tesla is Blackberry, not Apple. Maybe they don't "own" the smartphone market, and maybe in the end they day - BUT, they left their mark. Thay have had decisive influence in the industry.

The Nissan Leaf? From where I stand, it looks like a Nokia Communicator - or worse. A product that does sell, true - but mostly because of the parent company; eventually it doesn't leave a lasting mark.
what's your point? I'm aware of that, but the "first world problems" meme exists to point the finger at people who have so few real problems that they make a big fuss about trivial inconveniences (Starbucks ran out of skimmed milk so you had to use semi-skimmed, best blow it up on twitter). You're supporting a reduction where anything beyond "I'm dying" is a first world problem. Grief at the loss of a pet is not a problem reserved for those who are so privileged that they have lost all sense of proportion. Poor people get sad when their pets die too, but poor people don't generally express the extreme emotional fragility that "first world problems"-havers do, because they have actual problems to be concerned with.

> My suspicion is: someone in dire need of intellectual engagement might want to work at Tesla simply because of the opportunity to exercise one's mental capacity in a challenge of equivalent magnitude. (Not Tesla specifically: I suspect any company with similarly-driven heavily-pushed technical production would suffice, for a person with the knowledge of that sphere.)

I feel like you're over selling this by a lot, especially the Hawkings and paper comparison. Someone moving from Google to Tesla because of "boredom" is likely due to the industry more than the intellectual challenge. People go to work at Tesla because they believe in Musk's "vision" of a better world.
"The Art of Memory" by Frances Yates is an interesting and scholarly book on the ancient origins of this idea. It's not a light read but I find it fascinating how influential this idea has been over such long periods of time, and also how memory has changed and evolved with the accessibility of the written word. Reciting hour long speeches word for word from memory used to be a commonplace skill (rhetoric).

I think this is the strangest appeal of social media - the devaluation of your message. I'm not inundating anyone if I take a lousy picture of fireworks; write an unremarkable status; or check in from my preferred, uninteresting eating establishment.

I agree with this and I think it has a lot to do with free time. In college, if I was asked to go to a party by an acquaintance, I'd probably say yes. Once I started working, getting into serious relationships, and adding more day responsibilities; the answer changed to no. I'm at capacity with how many relationships I can meaningfully maintain, but I'm happy with the ones I have. That's not to say the acquaintances don't have value or I don't like them. I'd just rather go to a tech talk or spend time on one of my hobbies than go to a social event without any of my core friends. It's not that I don't enjoy the social events, they just have fallen far lower on my list of priorities over the years.
I think that's probably a little dramatic. To me, subjectively of course, it's clear as day. It's the first thing I saw. I think it's funny. It's just pattern recognition - it doesn't have to be a chance to commit a psychological critique of people you ideologically disagree with.
Apologies for the semi-off topic question and it’s not directed towards your project specifically, but why do Go projects always emphasise that they are Go projects? I never see announcements like “Foo, a C# library to do Bar”. That fact that it’s C# (or anythig else) will become apparent to anyone who cares to look at the source. With Go projects it’s always emphasized that they are written in it. Am I the only one who noticed this trend?

I think you misunderstood the point of the repo, then.

Personally, I could list off the top of my head several likely candidates for the top editors and IDEs, but I don't have anything useful to say about most of them, because I don't use them. I fully expect the author is in the exact same position.

You're absolutely right that the list is not comprehensive, and it's probably the author's own personal preferences. But if he uses mostly those editors, what's he to do? Just list off a few more editors/IDEs with no links to any useful resources, when the whole point of the repo is to have actual resources you can read? How would having a header saying "IntelliJ" or "XCode" or "Visual Studio" make that list better? How would just adding a random link for some blog post about any of those help, if the list's author can't vouch for their validity?

It's overall just best to put in what you know, and leave the rest to PRs.

It works on every database known to humans

Our team just bought a bunch of licenses of DBeaver and I think this is only correct if you mean 'relational' databases. We have a MongoDB and Eleastic and I don't believe that DataGrip supports either of these, which was a real drag.

We're fully on Jetbrains tools otherwise (R#, dotTrace and dotMemory, TeamCity as build server) so it was a no brainer for me to want to continue that trend but it didn't check all the boxes for us, despite its clear polish.

I tend to hate any IDE built on Eclipse (which I think DBeaver is), but I've been very pleasantly surprised with how well it works.

1. It's got very nice ER modeling where other tools (Like Oracle SQL Developer) make you jump through a dozen screens and a wizard to make a simple diagram.

2. It's got nice export tools to get your data to business partners in a more convenient way. Sure you can copy tables in pretty much every tool but there's just an 'excel' button that can pop open your current query in a new sheet.

3. It does have a weird delay when opening up databases sometimes where it 'reads metadata' about the table and it can sometimes take a long time to return even the most basic query. But once it's cached that data I've not noticed problems after that.

4. It does seem like the document database tooling isn't as baked as the relation tooling. I routinely get hangs when querying my Mongo collections, which is sometimes a drag. But it hasn't been a huge issue.

Overall, I'd highly recommend the paid version of this tool as it's helped me consolidate: Robo3T, Sql Server Mgmt Studio, SQL Developer, and MySQL Workbench into a single tool.

Not saying you're wrong, but the 4G speed in many US or European cities isn't very representative.

I live in Bucharest, Romania, a city of 2 million people, but it's very densely populated and the 4G data plans are cheap, on prepay or contract, so everybody with a phone has 4G bandwidth to use (not necessarily for watching Netflix, but enough for music or facebook).

And we get good 4G coverage both indoors and outdoors. Right now I'm at my office, indoors. As I'm writing this I just did a speed test on my connection and I'm getting 105 Mbps download, 10 Mbps upload, 17 ms ping. And this is the norm, I know because I like going to coffee shops and use my mobile connection for real work.

Here's a screenshot: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pw86k6tgd9rc5fd/Screenshot%202019-...

I haven't seen such good coverage and performance in the several European or US cities I've traveled too. E.g. in my experience the Internet in Germany or France is really poor.
But I don't believe that it is because of the 4G technology.

only if the company ensures that "Leslie" is one profile that is attached to one person. Reputation only works if it follows you, if you can create a new account or masquerade as another person (like in this case) then it doesn't work at all.

there should also be a certain barrier to entry so that e.g. people more likely to do something criminal or negligent instead won't get on the platform in the first place.
This is very impressive. FYI: Delaying the buffer spinner, not showing it unless buffering has been (let's say) >300ms for instance, makes the switching feel a lot faster. If you could also get rid of the black between switching out the media source buffer, they would feel instant.
> the mindset of someone who is writing an application is to build something cool

As a developer, this rubbed me the wrong way. "Building something cool" is definitely a thing we all like to do, and every developer worth their craft has introduced some features just because they found them "cool"; that said, developers' "mindset" nearly completely focuses on several activities, with a varying level of importance depending on a number of factors:

a) building something that works as close to the specifications as possible
b) making sure that other developers can maintain it, and also that it can be deployed, tested etc
c) (optional) making it as efficient as possible

Or, as the saying attributed to Kent Beck [1] goes: "make it work, make it right, make it fast". The "cool" factor is usually present, but is on a much lower level of importance than the above three. There are others, sitting in between and sometimes even rising to the top, with security definitely being one of them. But because of the focus on particularly "a" and "b" above, the developers simply don't have the level of understanding of security issues as is implied that the experts expect ("idiots" being a shortcut for anyone below that level). So they introduce the security features the best they can, such as that example of the key in the PHP app described in the article.

All of the breaches are, especially these compilation ones. I switched email addresses back in 2016, and despite having accounts basically everywhere, my newer account has never showed up in a breach. Even the email address I used primarily for new accounts years before that hasn't shown up in any. Only my original created-in-2006 Gmail account ends up in breach lists.
Perhaps it's simply that there's still a little insecurity around writing an application in Go, and authors feel the need to justify it.

I think it's unwarranted, though.

Not having the byproduct waste of energy production pumped into populated areas is a _massive_ gain(regardless of whether there is overall increase in usage of GHG).

Waste from coal powered electricity isn't emitted by every consumer in populated areas. It's emitted in a plant which

a) generally has more advanced particular matter capture technology &

b) to reduce emission further, only the place emitting the emissions needs to be upgraded(not the vehicle of every end consumer of that energy) &

c) is more readily replaceable by a cleaner source with minimal disruption.
It's not one mall but series of malls and offices between nanpu and lupu bridge near the Puxi side expo areas (mostly without much foot traffic or shops). They are there for over 8 years.

You probably can take a bicycle and ride along the Huangpu river from Nanpu bridge towards Lupu bridge. It's a beautiful bicycle path and you can see the empty malls and offices.
This is a very good point, I think.

I would say for every product that is in a well defined category (like GUI toolkit) there is a default set of FAQ that an intro for it should answer. Maybe it would be a good idea to create an issue with a template of those FAQ, so other projects can use them as well.
That's not what rent-seeking means; I am not sure what you are trying to say.
The interesting tradeoff seems to be investments in future models & infrastructure vs. expense of current workforce. Tesla is investing in developing 4 new models, production capacity for model Y, building 2 more gigafactories, building 1,000s of superchargers globally, building capacity for solar roof production, and I don't know where they are with powerwall.

Once to 10k is out, we can size it up, but my guess is that all that capital spend is greater than the cost of employing the 7%. Would be interesting to see the math that went behind the decision.

I agree that density would increase with better public transit. However, this is still a chicken-and-egg problem.

Anecdotally, I would claim that a lot more places in Europe with similar density have their density organized around existing city centers, plazas/squares, and other focus points, which makes public transit far more effective. The overall density may be similar (for instance, I live in a major European city and there's farmland next to me) but housing is more concentrated around specific points. Destinations such as grocery stores seem more conveniently located, at least in Switzerland, where every train station and major bus stop seems to have a selection of stores in the immediate vicinity as well as a large amount of housing centered around it, with density decreasing as one moves farther from the transit point.

It doesn't seem like that's the case in the vast majority of the US. While the density of California may be similar to that of France, it seems like people occupy much more of the land.

Here's an article I found that happens to illustrate what I mean, but it unfortunately only has data for a few places: https://www.citylab.com/life/2018/02/theres-a-better-way-to-...

Go is popular among open source developers, so announcing up front that the project is written in Go will attract more eyeballs and potential contributors.

If I'm going to contribute to an open source project in my free time, I'm more likely to contribute to a project if it is written in a language I enjoy working with.
Health Care also plays into this. In the US, most companies are paying for their employees health care. You can cut hours, but that doesn't dent the health care premium per employee.

In the rest of the modern world, health care is the problem of the government, so cutting back on hours is a more useful strategy.

> I'm really curious about this one. I have no idea why they would possibly want to do this

Traditional tv shows can also get buzz by people chatting and theorizing about them week to week as the episodes trickle out. This isn’t really possible with the Netflix binge model.

They can also release faster since episodes trickle out as they are done. Not sure how often this happens vs editing and releasing later.

Whether this type of “buzz” actually is that important from an economic perspective or if it just generates a bunch of noise online and at the water cooler, I don’t know. So far Netflix seems content to drop content using the binge model.
