Also, they plan to tax ride sharing (which people have shown demand for) and use the money to improve public transit infrastructure (which people have shown distaste for). Why, why, aren't taxes like this directed to improve the infrastructure for the services that are being taxed? Elon Musk is on the right track - build out more roads, under the city, to improve capacity and reduce congestion. Don't burn the money on a service with ridership numbers that are in freefall.

Imagine if a private company substantially raised the price of its premier product (streaming movies, for example) to build tons of infrastructure for the product that nobody wants (DVD distribution hubs, for example) and neglected to build out the infrastructure required for the product in demand. It'd be gone overnight. This is absolute insanity.

The real solution:

- Tax all road users - most easily accomplished through license/registration taxes (IE, you pay an annual fee for a sticker that gives you permission to drive your car/bus/truck in the taxed area) and fuel taxes
- By statute, require the money to be spent to improve/expand the road infrastructure
- Where pollution is a problem, (optionally) spend a portion of the tax to build out EV infrastructure, and encourage EV use by charging reduced fees to EV users
- Subsidize use of ride-sharing type services for people who would normally use public transit services

This would provide efficient, clean, point-to-point transit services for ALL users. Economically disadvantaged folks could finally stop paying the hidden 'poor people transit tax' (increased transit times).

Was there another part of the interview where he said he would comply? That seems unlikely, given that he still hasn't complied. This isn't "cherry picking" so much as "taking the part that we're talking about, and ignoring the parts that have nothing to do with it".

That's true, but I think it's because of bad marketing rather than bad technology. The Chevy Bolt has the specs to beat the Model 3, but it is being positioned as a low-end car, a competitor to the Honda Civic rather than the Model 3. Power seats, for example, are not even offered as an option. That is not a car a rich person is going to buy to impress their friends. But GM could easily turn it into such a car. They obviously know how to make power seats. All the heavy lifting has been done. I have no idea why they aren't doing it, but GM has a long history of shooting itself in the foot when it comes to electric vehicles.

Honestly using Amazon is like tip toeing around a lion to get something valuable. Knowing that at any moment they could wake up and and absolutely swallow you whole.

If you use their cloud products, ala Netflix, they may decide to compete with you any moment. Netflix may have been too far along to be beat but the next product won’t be. If you sell products on their market place and if they do well you run the risk of them copying you. If you do anything in their ecosystem you are living with the fear that the lion may wake up and swallow you whole at any point and time.

Edit: Maybe I’m a bit paranoid but this feels like a great way for them to get to know exactly who your customers are and what their behavior is. All the while training their own personalization to get much better.

It's true that there are many junk vendors. Heavy politics and misaligned incentives for ad agencies usually means that the bad companies do better than the trusted vendors because fake data can obviously be shaped to look better than the real results.

That being said, location data does work. There are many ways to collect it from visual scanners in doorways, to open wifi networks that ping phones, to ISPs enriching data feeds. There are also 1000s of analytics SDKs embedded in apps that send pings constantly, so having a specific app open is not a necessity and never actually used by any serious network. Pretending that's the only way it works is just misleading.
i sure think it's possible but my decision is binded by Hanlon's razor in this case. don't attribute to malicious intent that which is attributable to stupidity/neglect/etc. so I mean it's possible they had malicious intent, but i mean, really, what did they stand to gain by having it? to me it just seems more likely that they just didn't notice.

I've been with HelloFresh for a year and a half. Before joining, I could only make the most basic meals, spaghetti, grilled cheese. Now, I feel like the training with HelloFresh and I'm a much better cook. The variety of meals has got me to try numerous things (and combinations of spices, ingredients, etc) that I normally would never buy for myself in a grocery store, or order in a restaurant.

I have to say that one thing about HelloFresh meals, they always plate so well. Over the time I've been with them, I've certainly collected a number of favourite recipies. But unfortunately, recipies are definitely repeating now.

There are a number of reasons I am still with them.

1. Having everything needed just show up is really nice. I waste way less food with HelloFresh (either over buying ingredients that go bad, or making too much due to poor portion control and no one wants to eat left over 3 days after). Having just the right amount of fresh herbs for a meal can really make or break the flavour. I do still go to to grocery store for some basic stuff that I use to supplement some meals with, as some meals are occassaionally small. For example, if the meal comes with 1 potato, I may add a potato of my own. I leave the meat portion alone, and I think this has gotten me to eat smaller portions as well.

2. Having a constant stream of different meals is nice. Before, my husband and I'd settled into always making the standard rotation of around 10 meals. That gets dull really quick. It was leading us to ordering pizza more than once a week, which is definitely not good (it is tasty, but not good).

3. I enjoy making the food, and like I said, it always looks great when it is plated, so I take pictures of each creation and proud to show friends and family.

The over packaging issue, so the box and the meals within is cardboard and paper bags, I recycle both. I noticed recently they no longer plastic bag the garlic or shallots, which is just fine by me. The biggest waste right now is all the small plastic bags the sauces and spices come in. I suppose if I wanted, I could recycle those as well since they are plastic. The ice packs are non-chemical, and reusable. I've given many many away to friends and family. Basically no one I know ever has to buy an ice pack again. And even then I have too many of them, so once in a while I cut a bunch open and wash it down the drain (they say it is a non-toxic salt solution, and safe to wash down the drain)

The boxes I've also given away when people want moving boxes, but I recycle most of them.

I think recently some of the meals have gotten a little "meh". I paused my subscription on some weeks when really nothing on the list excited me. I hope that trend doesn't continue. I have not tried other services like BA.
So our highest revenue product Amazon interestingly enough is already our biggest customer on, but the vendor refuses to go direct with Amazon and prefer we are the middle man. We have huge exposure here, but Amazon already has their recommenr dialed on this product so I wouldn't really care about them having a marginal amount of more info on it.

The rest of the product is largely under MAP policies excluding Amazon, and the products take a level of care and branding a bit more than Amazon's typical white label products. So, could they, yes, but we have plenty of bigger operational risks
I think it is not serious because on Tesla's earning call they already announced the same 500k number.
They also like to buy shares in smaller companies or outright acquire them. Not always competition.

May I ask what point you are trying to address? Did I say that there was a worldwide trend for veganism in the 7th century BCE? Or that eating meat was a recent practice?

You said you had no qualms with killing animals for food, and that "the issues people have with it are purely a side effect of chic urban programming." Even without resorting to a possibly contentious archaeological record, we know from recorded history that the Jains abstained from meat for ethical reasons from all these centuries ago, as they do today, which I think falsifies your claim. If you want to dispute the specific example of the Jains, there are other groups of ethical vegetarians going back thousands of years to cite.

It's a lot more involved than that, but reputable companies are few and far between. They reason there's so much fraud is because it's hard to prove the truth and fake results look "good" so people go with shady vendors that just make their marketing team look better.

We do account-based marketing (advertise to specific companies you want to sell to) but we're upfront on the minimum size that companies need to be to have a internet footprint. There are other methods to find people working at a company but one thing we see all the time is companies claiming to let you reach the CFO or an exact job title. That is 100% fake and it would be far more effective to just send a letter to that person instead, but people just love to believe it works.

Berating someone is never helpful. Setting out to embarrass someone is never helpful. The goal should never be to blame someone. The goal should always to educate someone on what has happened, what exploits have been enabled, and how this could cause harm.

One issue is that full-throated encouragement coupled with suggestions of problems couched in uncertainty is the Dale Carnegie approach. I suspect you're using it now! It's well-suited to a great many situations, as documented in the man's seminal work.

Unfortunately, this suitability is not universal. It is fallible, and in security those failure can be quite dangerous. The Carnegie approach thus described makes it very easy for devs to notice the encouragement and ignore the suggestions of criticism. I have personally encountered this reaction in both open source and enterprise-y contexts, generally from developers who might be charitably described as highly enthusiastic. Including right here on HN!

I've also encountered the hostility you described in reaction to kind, generous, compassionate security reports of the sort you suggest. This has happened in open source, startup-type, and enterprise-y environments.

The key to what I'm advocating is this: you are not your code and the other person is not their code. Who wrote a vulnerability is not as important as that it exists. How it can be fixed, and how it can be prevented in the future, are what matter.

Professionalism means understanding the distinction between a craftsperson and what they have produced. It also means understanding the distinction between yourself and your work. It means understanding that ignorance isn't a character flaw, it's a temporary state of affairs that can be fixed.

It also means realizing that some who refuses to participate in fixing their technical ignorance is someone who is being unprofessional. Such a person might benefit from correction.

The main seller here is ARM support for a modern IDE.

A few years back, my "main" machine was a Samsung Chromebook 2 (13") running Xubuntu (Ubuntu with XFCE) via crouton. Surprisingly snappy and quite useful as a thin client/web coding machine.

My biggest gripe back then was the lack of Sublime builds for ARM machines. This then, would be pretty welcome to anyone in that niche.
My point is I shouldn't have to beg some third party to include it. The developer made it, I want to run it, there's no need for anyone else to be involved in this process.

He's not oblivious. He's being obstinate and bristling at their authority.

He's been CEO of a public Tesla for 9 years now. Respecting the SEC and securities laws is just part of the CEO job. He's got great lawyers that remind him of this daily. And you'd think the $20 million fine and loss of the Chairman role would be enough of a wake up call.

It's so frustrating to see, because I really want Tesla to succeed and I think he's one of the great executives of our time, and he wastes his time and attention on short-term inanities like short sellers and daily stock price movements. If he just buckled down and built cars, he'd blow all of those short sellers out of the water.
I keep hearing that, and it is of course possible, but the point is that hardly anyone does it. That's what makes it meaningless that it can be done.

And it isn't insecure. If I trust the developer and get the software from them, it's just as good as trusting a repo maintained by random internets who have been known to not only not keep software in the repo up to date, but actually introduce vulnerabilities that weren't there before!
There are plenty of legitimate data providers. They're just overshadowed by shady and fake data vendors because they're cheaper and provider "better looking" results that help agencies look better and earn their bonuses.

Computing with Trees Not Numbers
I came across this meetup page (https://www.meetup.com/FP-Syd/events/vcqlmpyzdbkc/) where one of the topics is "Computing with Trees not Numbers". The description look intriguing as well.

It talk about tree calculus. Has that been around for long? I can't find much about it on the internet

Full Description:
Tree calculus is a calculus of combinations with a single ternary operator
(for building nodes) that has three reduction rules, according to whether
its first argument is a leaf, stem or fork. Its normal forms are the
unlabeled binary trees, which provide a better basis for computation than
the natural numbers: there is no need to encode and decode programs as
numbers, as the binary trees are simultaneously functions to be applied and
structures to be traversed. There are compositional, reduction-preserving
embeddings of the traditional models of computation into tree calculus. Also,
it supports self-interpretation without the need for quotation to convert
programs to trees. Tree calculus supports a type system that satisfies
subject reduction.

I've also noticed this when reading about ambitious ideas to solve this problem, they usually assume/depend on a tax on carbon and it reaching something like $150/ton by 2030, eg [1]

That means it is up to us, all of us, to identify the politicians who are delaying this and get them out of office very soon. In my opinion that is the next step in making meaningful progress and that is something anyone can contribute to if directed effectively. It's exciting seeing these kids around the world pressuring their politicians but I want to find an organized, well funded operation with only one objective, to prevent the wrong people from being (re)elected.
