At my high school the teacher advisor of the school store also taught social studies.

In his class you could buy snacks, passes to get out of homework or pop quizzes, rights to sit on the couch, etc.

He also made us pick stocks and bring in cash so he could buy them for us and said we’d get the $$$ + any profits back when we graduated.

When we were seniors and asked for the cash from all those stock picks he acted like we didn’t know what we were talking about.

Years later he got fired for accidentally stabbing a student during a very realistic wagon train history unit.

This guy was really amazing. Before being a teacher apparently he owned a strip club in LA but claimed to be converted by evangelical christian protesters outside his club so he packed up and moved to Erie, PA to become a HS teacher.

This is the kinda guy you want handling your club finances. ;)
Huh. Design-wise that thing looks a lot like a NeXT machine.

Yes! I've tried out a few of the services here in Canada, using first order promos, and I've found them all to be expensive and have a crazy amount of packaging. I'd love to be able to decide I want a kit, order it online at lunch time, and either have it delivered or pick it up on my way home.
I mean, I want 10 gbit+ peripherals and short of using PCIe extenders, what choice do I have? USB 3? Wait no, USB 3.1 gen 1, wait no USB 3.1 gen 2! (Yes, I know there's different Thunderbolt versions, too).

If Dell's going to do silly things like solder Wifi chips down on the new laptops, then you're damn right I'm going to be looking for Thunderbolt for fast connectivity out of a very expensive laptop.

Uber undercuts both public transit and traditional taxi services with prices that are unsustainable and can't provide a living wage for their drivers.

This was OK initially because taxis in many places were benefiting from localized monopolies and also screwing many drivers, but in the long run it means Uber kills all the competition and then just jacks prices back up anyway.

I don't dig the drunk driving fear mongering either. If I hired the homeless $3 a trip to carry drunk people home that doesn't mean my exploitative program should suddenly be free of municipal adjustment.

I've found short term fasting to be like a muscle I have to exercise. Skipping a meal with abundant calories around me was hard. I had to start off small (skipping one meal) and slowly work up to slightly longer fasts (skipping the next meal, etc). I think we all have different physiologies and different mental adaptations (certainly for me hunger is partly an emotion, a desire to satiate that only bears a passing resemblance to how many calories my body needs) though and what works for me might not work for you.
Excellent concise presentation. Anyone know of similar for Scala?

Talk to anyone with a reasonable public transit system about how ridesharing is clearing up the roads (spoiler alert: it's not, they're decreasing public transit ridership and contributing to a constantly worsening congestion issue).
Pretty much not. Plastic may be collected as recyclable, but there's really no market for it. It mostly goes to landfills.
That they are more closely related to eastern Asians on a phylogenetic tree has more to do with their time spent out of Africa, leaving (50-70ka). Which means they would exhibit the same lack of modern African alleles as eastern Asians, the anscestors of which left around the same time. Of course there was gene flow between East Asians and Negritos but my guess would be the genetic relatedness is more indicative of time spent out of Africa than gene flow between Negritos and East Asians
Agreed. Also consider that using taxation as a punitive tool is both immoral and ignores the fact that the government doesn't deserve the resulting revenue.

No they don't and Harvey Silverglate is not a reliable reporter. He habitually misrepresents the cases of his current-and-former clients and frankly I think he's only one step away from being a con artist who separates legal losers from their money while telling them it's not their fault that they keep losing in court.

This shouldn't be extrapolated into being a comment on the rest of the thread. There are all sorts of things wrong with society and the legal system but I wouldn't trust Harvey Silverglate to advise me on any of them.

I would think itd matter in which order devices are initialized in, for example, if you had a compromised device connected, is it initialized before your keyboard is so you can enter your full disk encryption password.

Id wager youd probably be safe because I think the bare USB keyboard support is provided by the UEFI BIOS and no OS level drivers would be initialized yet (e.g. why you can use basic USB keyboard and mouse support in the BIOS), but this is my mildly educated speculation. This is definitely not my area of expertise.

The congestion caused by Uber and Lyft in SF is bad. It's not because of the number of cars on the road, although that's certainly something, it's because of how those cars behave.

Ubers and Lyfts pull over at unpredictable spots (wherever the app says to) and then just throw on their flashers. It doesn't matter if they're blocking a lane in rush hour they just stop.

I will never for my life understand why an Uber or Lyft driver thinks it's any better to double park in an active lane of traffic than to temporarily pull out and block a driveway or a red zone. Both are illegal, but at least one of those doesn't block traffic and endanger other drivers/bikers.

Almost every day I see an Uber driver double-parked within 50' of somewhere they could have pulled over safely.

If the cops would give out a few more tickets for this, the behavior would get better and so would the traffic. And then we wouldn't have to tax the road use. Taxing the road use is crap, everyone should be able to drive their vehicle on public roads as much as they want as long as they follow traffic laws.

The Safeway near my house started selling Plated meal boxes and I love it! They're cheaper than the ones in the mail (by $1-2) and I don't have to worry about when they will arrive and if they'll spoil on the doorstep because I left town or something.

I don't know why the grocery stores don't just make their own boxes though.
>Short sellers can't make Musk bash the SEC or call people pedos; that's on him.

But they certainly can engineer a fake rumor of an SEC requesting contempt of court by manipulating journalists and forging documents, if sufficiently motivated. Consider the SuperMicro story submitted to mainstream publications last year that was obviously fake and caused a massive decline in their stock. I don't think it's above a sophisticated actor to socially engineer a journalist in service of a "short and distort" campaign. Even Jim Cramer laid out the typical tactics of a short attack: get a short position open and then spread false rumors to a "bozo reporter" [0][1]

I'm no big Elon Musk fan, but the funny thing is -- correct me if I'm missing something -- I can't seem to find any evidence that the SEC ever published the complaint[2] documents supplied by a USA today journalist on the sec.gov website. Searching for "Case 1:18-cv-08865-AJN" only brings up the original settlement from October 2018. That alone gives me pause.

Have you ever lived near a night club? I used to live in an apartment with a nightclub down the street on the next block. I couldn't hear noise from the club itself but I could always tell when it closed by the loud people on the street. I was 20 floors up.

People can decide they're willing to live with the noise for the convenient location but there will always be some amount of noticeable noise if you live on the same block as a night club.
I agree. What’s interesting is that it’s compatible with most devices/libraries (arduino etc), compared to using a consumer level garmin device with sms/data functionality that requires a contract (to be affordable at least).

Also, even though location info is typically the main feature, I believe it’s included automatically in the msg envelope (a kind of satellite caller id), which means you can use that more expensive bandwidth for your own requirement, while still getting the lat/lon metadata.
Hi there, I'm the author of this. This is obviously still a very young project. It works pretty well for my purposes, but I would love some help developing it into something more robust. I'm especially interested in help from more experienced gophers; I write Ruby/JS for work so have not had as much exposure to idiomatic Go.
Honestly, the USB-IF guidance is pretty sane here. The "USB 3.0" or "USB 3.1 gen 1" or whatever simply should not appear anywhere in the consumer space. Everything should be labeled and using "SuperSpeed USB X Gbps".

I'd go as far to say that articles like this exactly help keep the confusion up because the way they keep bringing up the term "USB 3.2" etc as something that consumers should care about, when it is something that should be avoided.

> What this branding meant is that many manufacturers say that a device supports "USB 3.1" even if it's only a "USB 3.1 Gen 1" device running at 5Gb/s. Meanwhile, other manufacturers do the sensible thing: they use "USB 3.0" to denote 5Gb/s devices and reserve "USB 3.1" for 10Gb/s parts.

Both manufacturers are doing the wrong thing: referring to the USB standard version at all. Devices should not say that they support "USB 3.0" or "USB 3.1 gen 1". They should say they support "Superspeed USB" or "Superspeed USB 10 Gbps".

Superspeed might be a silly name, but the branding there is almost perfectly unambiguous, and nicely explicit about the data rate in a way that "USB 3.2 gen 2x2" is not.

What is the most surprising is that USB-IF isn't able to keep the vendors in line despite being industry consortium and owning all the relevant trademarks and other IP. They really should start enforcing their policies more aggressively.

> If EV's do take off, it's likely to be the established car manufacturers who are good at making cars at scale who eventually capitalize on the opportunity.

This is what I used to think, but every year the "Tesla killers" fail to kill, or even wound. I never even hear about the other EV's by themselves, only as the competition to Tesla. Anybody who watches the news would have known that the Model 3 was a colossal failure. But it wasn't. It was just 6 months late, which is not bad given the scale of the project. The narrative is just not reality here. Tesla has a head start on the industry. That doesn't guarantee anything, but I think that it's a bigger advantage to Tesla than it would be to any other car company because one of Elon Musk's strengths (Spacex too) is iteration speed.

Last I heard they got the price down to $45K, so they are in striking distance of the $35K target and won't stop there. EV's are mechanically simpler than gas powered cars. Once the technology and economies of scale are there, they will be cheaper. And I don't see any other company in a better position to get there first.

Edit:
Predicting that the established players being the ones to take the lead in a new technology sounds like common sense, but it isn't:

> It's likely to be the established electronics companies who are good at making electronics that take the lead in semi-conductor manufacturing.

> It's likely to be the established mail order companies who are good at delivery logistics that take the lead in online retail.

> It's likely to be the established taxi companies who are good at running taxi fleets (and have a legal monopoly) that take the lead in ride sharing apps.

If the pattern holds (which is not by any means guaranteed), Tesla has more to fear from a yet to be founded startup than it does from the legacy car manufacturers.
They?
This begs the question: does Elon Musk seem like the kind of person who isn't willing to fail in public?

Whether it's for personality reasons or for the sake of keeping his other companies well respected, is he unwilling to let the public lose confidence in him and/or his projects?

My guess is he doesn't care that much about our opinions of him, personally and professionally.

He might be picking a fight with the SEC simply because he can.

There's something to be said for having "FU money" and using it, in the near-literal sense.
I really don't judge people for siding with penitentiary because it's part of a cycle: people want vindictive justice, the system upholds vindictive justice and politicians campaign for it, people learn that vindictive justice is the only solution. It's like trying to argue decriminalization of marijuana in the 1960s: people simply haven't started considering other options.

More and more I'm starting to believe that crimes are a "disease." Addiction (and locking up of addicts) is a common debate, but a lack of education can be "treated" and "cured" too. So can discipline and motivational problems. There are some problems that cannot be treated (they definitely exist), and those should be dealt with differently.

> and are likely to keep losing control (causing damage to society), then they get locked up.

Exactly, this is the caveat that I briefly mentioned. There are four functions of prisons [according to me]:

1. Penitentiary: execute justice on those who have harmed society. The victims may feel a sense of justice before the perpetrator is released, or executed. I've succeeded at petty revenge in the past and felt worse about the situation, so I really don't think this works.

2. Correctional: rehabilitate those who have harmed society. The perpetrator must feel a sense of remorse before being released.

3. Protective: lock the perpetrator away forever. Ideally figure out how to provide them with a meaningful life behind walls. The perpetrator is too dangerous to other individuals in society.

4. Psychiatric: lock the perpetrator away until some mental/medical condition is resolved. This could be for their own protection (suicide), or the protection of others (insanity). If the medical condition cannot be resolved (i.e. psychopathy) then society needs to be protected from this individual.

Correctional services seem to be foreign to most people, as so few countries implement it. Norway's mostly successful correctional system[1] changed my mind, but at one point correctional services definitely was a foreign concept to me. If others continue to believe that penitentiary is the answer after I've made my point, then I have failed at making my point.

"Living with guilt" vs. "dying/prison as the easy way out" has often worked, so far as getting people to at least think about alternatives, even though I don't exactly feel that way about the situation.

That's what I do, but it's a maintenance burden to run several instances. I run three PiHole VMs: one for parents (banning ads only), one for little kids (banning ads and mature content), and one for teenagers (banning ads and temporarily banning "time drain" sites until homework is done). I'd like to further customize the one for teenagers based on whether or not they have missing homework in school, but not quite to the level of spinning up (and maintaining) yet another instance.
I wish that there was a meal kit service without the meal kit. Provide curated recipes for X days a week and add the necessary ingredients directly to my Walmart grocery pickup or Amazon foods order or whatever. Would eliminate a lot of waste and shipping issues and give me all of what I like about meal kits.
Musk paid the SEC $20m in his last settlement, what do they want, gratitude?

There is definitely a cabal gunning for him, what I don't understand is why. There are funds short TSLA who are talking their books as well, but he seems to have provoked a deeper coalition of interests that is hard to pinpoint. All I can tell is much of the criticism seems contrived.

Maybe he's truly checked out because this is all just a simulation, and he wants to test what is symbolic and artificial, and what is real because philosophically and existentially it's the only meaningful problem to address, but from an investor and mental health perspective, that's dissociation and if that's really the case, I hope he likes painting in watercolors.
