A wise and correct perspective. Grief is an emotion and emotions are inherently subjective.

Our cat died two years ago and although we've had a few cats over the years, this cat was special. I was totally unprepared for the grief and pain that I, and the rest of my family members, experienced. I didn't feel like I could really even talk about it with people outside the family because it sounded ridiculous to so many people with the view of "it's just a cat!" But not this cat, and not to us.

My aunt died the same year. She was my mom's best friend and growing up I was at her house, hanging with my cousins, all the time. She was a total sweetheart: a kind, goodhearted, sweet woman with a heart of gold. When she passed I grieved, but although I feel genuinely ashamed to write this, the level of emotional intensity - the raw pain - did not reach the same level as when our cat died.

Grief over the loss of a beloved being does not come from a rational calculus of that being's worth.
except in Dongguan that ratio was not because of prostitution, but because of manufacturing unlike other sex destinations
I think for a company the size of Tesla it would actually be beneficial to have a well-organized worker council and union through which the employees could negotiate with the board of directors when things like this happen. Often this results in a better solution for everyone.

When the recession hit Germany in 2008 most large automotive companies were also faced with a massive decline in orders and were forced to aggressively cut costs. As employees in these companies are heavily unionized they of course protested against this and the worker council started negotiating with the board of directors. They found a solution by reducing the work hours for a large percentage of their workers (with an accompanied pay cut) instead of firing a smaller percentage of them, which allowed them to retain almost everyone and at the same time reduce costs. When the economy sped up again they were able to just increase the working hours again. This was great for the employees (as they didn't lose their jobs) but also for the companies, because they didn't have to find and train new employees after the crisis was over.

I'm wondering why Tesla isn't considering something like this as I imagine there's a lot of training involved in many jobs at their factory, and it's probably very costly to rehire and retrain new employees when the growth picks up again. Just my 2 cents.
I'm not incredibly familiar with gamedev, but I would expect most allocations in games to be performed by small-object allocators on top of the general-purpose allocator, so the choice of general-purpose allocator should not make that much of a difference, should it?
Exactly my thoughts. Considering Github's recent numbers (300M USD/year revenue) and its recent acquisition by Microsoft, something like 30M USD/year would be enough to fund 250-1000 people a year full time. Maybe there might be an upper limit on how much you can make through the platform (like 10k USD/month), so instead of ending up with a few millionaires, a 10% revenue share would be enough to fund 250-1000 people full time, much more people half-time. With such a system in place, I think everyone would be better off, including Github - Microsoft.
Nah I wish it were my site because that bugs me too :) "Start here" up top works, though.

If the crew is the same crew that is deployed in wartime, there is a reasonable chance that there will be casualties but the the ship has to keep going as best it can. It would be very sensible if naval doctrine had the ships somewhat over crewed as a routine measure.

If that also helps politically that is a bonus.

MUMPS (aka M) was actually my first professional programming language at Epic Systems, the tech giant of the Healthcare space. It’s contemporary with C (which is also still used), and has several features which were unheard of at the time.

1. M bundles a reasonably efficient database with the language itself. Every variable supports jagged hierarchical arrays (which we usually call objects in other languages). These were implemented as balanced binary search trees, which means it’s difficult to write slow operations (at the cost of slightly sub-optimal performance for everything).

2. M was designed for massive server/client operations, handling concurrent use and access by tens of thousands of users out of the box.

3. M was incredibly terse. We laugh about the horror stories now, but when it was developed, every byte mattered, so single letter keywords and white-space-award syntax were features, not bugs.

As a result of these strengths, M solved real problems for large organization, managing data and concurrency at scale, with a simple storage paradigm that prioritizes good enough performance all of the time.

At least on Android chrome you can check the desktop version option in the menu and get regular GitHub which is surprisingly very usable!
Dell made their money by becoming the first big computer manufacturer to let you pick and choose how you wanted your computer configured, and then delivering it to you a few weeks later (which was fast, at the time, for a personalized machine!)

Apple and Fossil and Samsung and all those others are trying to make varieties of watches, but perhaps by jamming every feature someone might want into most of their watches, they are falling short on other features (ahem battery life) that other customers prefer.

I own a Fossil watch and a Citizen, and they are very pretty (and do other things, too, I guess.) Like this parent comment, I want a smart watch that's mostly a watch, but not just a watch. I wouldn't mind getting email or text notifications. In my world, that's something that happens just a few times a day. So it wouldn't annoy me. But just because I don't want my heart-rate tracked or a built-in GPS does not automatically imply that I don't want any other feature smart watches have that mechanical watches do not.
For such a harsh reality the message was well delivered.
I'm giving this a go. Will report back (probably in a blog post) on the results.
That's not even remotely true. Sexual assaults are way over blown. This isn't the movies. No one is going to rape you in the shower after taking your lunch tray the day you walk in there.

Homosexuality is rampant in state prisons. No one is raping to get laid. If someone gets raped it's incredibly likely it was over a large debt or because they were a snitch or pedo but even then its super rare.

And its not a myth that if you stand up and fight people leave you alone. Its never about winning or losing in a jail fight. It's about whether you stood up for yourself and whether or not you kept your mouth shut about it afterwards.

Please stop making shit up on forums. You clearly don't know what prison is like.

Oh and I was 18 when I went to state prison. So its not a matter of being young or not. Rape just isn't super common. It only has such a reputation in there because people like you talk out of there ass about it.

May I ask you which company is this?
1. You can find plenty of examples, some for production systems (Elasticsearch, some algorithms in the Linux kernel) on the TLA+ subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/tlaplus/

2. Learning TLA+ from available tutorials until you can write serious specs of real systems takes 2-4 weeks (part time); achieving the same competence level in a full-time workshop takes 3-5 days.
Could also be a upside :)
EVs don't solve the CO2 footprint of cars, the improvement is too small. We must drastically reduce the low-occupancy car miles driven and reverse the car growth trend in developing countries.

Can you give me the address? I’ve seen plenty of new malls that are half empty but they’ve all filled up so far. In the six years I’ve lived in Shanghai the “cool” areas where foreigners live have expanded markedly. Then again I’d never even heard of the Lupu Bridge until I looked it just now. The Fabric Market is near there, unless they’re just refusing to let lie class tenants rent there any mall should be full like the old fake market at Qipu lu.
I might be wrong, but I think Flutter was conceived during a time when Google was pushing hard for Dart. They even pushed for including native Dart support in browsers. Google probably still considers Dart highly relevant, especially since the upcoming Fuchsia OS seems to rely on Dart (and Flutter) for its apps.

Aren't there plenty of non-native-gui desktop options already? I think what we really need are cross platform gui options using native widgets (and we shouldn't pretend the impedance mismatch is too large because we've seen successful yet either license encumbered or language-unfriendly options before).
I have found grief to be in direct proportion to the emotional dependence we have. A pet would have been more consistently there in times of emotional distress, while an aunt would not have been. It's not a question of animal vs. human, it's a question of which has more time and feeling invested, and humans tend to invest their emotions more in pets than each other so it hurts more when they're lost.
That looks really good! Thanks for sharing it.
I fear that this is really getting off track for the main and this might be in response to the wrong comment but is it really that surprising? (sadly)

In another comment of yours you mentioned choosing a pet or a random child? What about another, supposedly easier question, which would you prefer to save? A human life or $23? $23 might seem arbitrary but I picked it from my personal experience with a charity I volunteer with called ICM. It helps those with ultra poverty in the Philippines and I've had the great blessing (and curse) to undertake a tragic trip to the slums to meet these people. So I know the best I can offer is mine and ICM's word but that really can save a life.

I want you to know I don't bring this up to try and start a fight or be argumentative but this question plagued me when I returned home and to some extent still does. How can I buy a video game (random example), knowing that money I've just spent could have saved a life?

How do I, how do we, live like this? I'm an Australian and statistically, we're only giving less with each passing year, and what we do give? As on 2016 a measly $764. For comparison our minimum weekly wage is about ~$670. The least able of us (that are able at all) would only have to give a little over one of their weeks to match that.

Personally I'm the sort of crazy where I think of this almost every time I make a purchase and for the longest time it was killing me. The TL;DR of how I was able to answer this for myself involves a lot of reading, looking and thinking is basically summed up as follows. For most normal humans (myself included) we need to spend on ourselves to make us functional enough to care for others. We are sadly not infinite source of giving.

However I think society today has forgotten or changed enough that we no longer see this self healing as a means to enable us to help others but as the point of living, hence the ever decreasing percentages of people giving but I still have hope.

I'm sorry at this point I don't know exactly where I'm going with this at this but it's not that people value animal life above human life, it's that they value their own life and quality of life above others and as sucky as that answer is, I hope you find it help answer your questions in a manner that makes more sense.
Why? This may be how you feel, but you have no reasoning to back it.

They're not "high end" brands anymore. The companies that own the brands have it down to a science, every few years they start lowering one of the more expensive brands down, and the masses start using it as a status symbol, until too many of the masses have it, then rinse repeat with another more expensive brand. See Fendi, Gucci, Swarovski, Michael Kors, etc. The most recent one I noticed was Yves Sant Lauren, with their items badged with an ugly YSL logo.

Basically, if you see middle income people start carrying around products badged (having logos on it is itself a signal that it's not high end) with the brand and sold in Macys, it's being stripped of it's high end status. And then even the middle income people start noticing everyone has it, so it devalues it for them, so the fashion brands need a new company to present as "high-end".
Leaf didn't change anything.

What changed the general attitude was half a milion people that pre-ordered Model3 with $1000 cash advance, in a matter of days, without knowing almost anything about it (other than "it's a Tesla").

[edit] Why the downvote? That event was obviously a huge wake-up call that proved to everyone there is real customer demand for electric cars, and that existing manufacturers are risking their future if they don't jump on the bandwagon.
If you make minimum wage in the US and work 40 hours a week, you’re in the global top 10%.

I've used it intensively for Java, Python and even Rust and due to suspending my laptop i probably only restart IntelliJ every few weeks.

I've noticed that sometimes plugins can be a problem. The Help->Show Logs Menu can be quite helpful. I've had a plugin leading to a lot of freezes of IntelliJ and the threadDumps immediately showed where the problem was. Another nice feature (logging thread dumps when the IDE freezes).
With 'friends' like that, being a recluse sounds like a far better option. They sound like the kind of people who would think they are going to these events to 'network'.
I’m wondering why Tesla isn’t considering something like this

I’m thinking it’s because they aren’t firing people at random. They’re letting go their weakest performers. This is very common and has been encouraged in business for decades:

Whether Facebook is evil or not is not really the question. I frame it like this: We have a couple of big companies that make money from one thing: knowing as much as they can about you. Currently they sell ads. We have given these companies an important part of society. So much, in fact, that the choice is not "should I use X" but "should I chose not to use X and face not-so-small consequences for doing so?".

You can probably tell people how to physically secure their premises or not to put passwords on post it notes without knowing how to code but you can't help them write secure code if you can't you know code.

This is like taking drivers ed from someone who can't drive. In theory you could reiterate material you had read on the matter and some material may even be of value but only a fool would learn to drive from someone who can't.

The fact that not everyone is willing or able to see the emperor is a nudist doesn't mean his threads are real.
The trouble with that advice is that people on the receiving end of smooth talking don't think, "this guy is smooth talking me so I should promote him," instead they feel a mysterious attraction and then promote the guy for a reason they can't really explain but can come up with a justification for.

Musk mentions in the letter that Tesla isn't able to provide a work-life balance on par with their competitors. I take that to mean that they expect you to work overtime. It probably isn't a good starting point for the sort of deal you describe.
Has wag or a rep actually responded to this?

P/E is a backward focusing metric, stock price is a forward looking metric. So, unless the company is static they don’t correlate that well.

Look a BMW’s shrinking US / EU sales for the last several years and compare that with Tesla. You don’t want to pay a premium for a sinking ship do you?

PS: The stock market may be irrational, but it’s rarely dumb.

How rudely they responded.
> We will likely see them start to show their films in theaters to maximize revenue

Seems unlikely to me. They're doing it on a very limited basis right now, but that's not for revenue; it's to get the movies in the running for awards.

> offer one-time access for people to watch a film but not sign up for a subscription

Seems unlikely. The number of people who think Netflix is expensive enough to avoid, and don't have friends they can mooch off of or get a group buy with is pretty small.

> they're probably going to have to turn their series into events by showing new episodes on schedule, once a week.

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

In network TV land, broadcasters have time slots for shows so they can more efficiently sell advertising slots. Even if Netflix decided to start advertising, they can just tie ads directly to videos being watched.

That would imply that they're able to correctly identify their "weakest performers" with sufficient accuracy to do that.

From what I've seen of large corp. performance appraisal systems, that's very rarely the case.

Those systems tend to reward people who are good at self-promotion, not necessarily people who are good at their jobs.
It sounds like you're on the right path, combined with a decent personal passion project and some summer internships.

Some things I see that give me pause:
1) No project work. Lack of interest in building things on their own, researching frameworks, building out small apps, etc. I'd like to see even a small attempt at learning tooling and frameworks used on real world projects (it doesn't have to even be close to the toolings we're using, just anything).

2) Lack of reading the technology-centric, software engineering centric internet sites. Even attending a Meetup or two to start seeing what's going on outside academia (again, I live in a tech hub, so lots of opportunities).

3) Just general feeling of "hey, I got this CS degree, I'm ready to work", but not really showing much enthusiasm that they actually want to be software engineers as a career (it's a tough career that requires a lot of self-driven learning and curiosity to do it well). Believe it or not, I've seen students come through summer internships, and decide they actually don't like the real world day-to-day software development for a career.

Your comment makes A LOT of assumptions - in both ways e.g.:

- you are ignoring the benefits that EVs could bring, as well as synergies with future technology improvements. Radically better battery technology coupled with cheap, affordable solar might be a game changer of unprecedented scale.

- On the other hand, there's no proof that "drastically reducing the low-occupancy car miles driven" or "reversing the car growth trend" is either feasible or beneficial (how do you achieve the goal? Any measure is likely to have side-effects. I haven't seen any realistic proposal that doesn't have potentially horrible side-effects).

Lastly, let me just tell you that I love it when people living in developed countries know what developing countries should do (which is typically "stay poor", but delivered in a more politically-correct way)
There is no naval enemy on earth that is even remotely competitive with the US in any regard.

Ship to ship maneuverability and tactics, even? How can you be so sure? Do you think that it's impossible for a US ship to lose a "dogfight" at sea in Asia as tensions escalate? If the lack of training is as bad as they say, I have a hard time imagining them winning one.
