> I think the focus, then, should be on holding elected officials accountable for their actions.

The unwritten corollary to this is that we elect better officials. And in that regard, this week's episode of the EconTalk podcast on cronyism had an interesting line I've since been pondering. Paraphrased, "It's not that we should get better people, we need to incentivize bad people to do good things rather than incentivize good people to do bad things."

If it was material information, he very clearly violated the policy.

The rules about editing don't matter, because this post wasn't an edit.

But what does "information material to Tesla or its stockholders" actually mean?

If we take it completely literally, then almost any tweet that mentions Tesla would be in violation.

Maybe that's the actual intent. But it doesn't much sense. Why wouldn't the agreement just say that? And he's posted tons of tweets about Tesla, largely referencing news articles, and the SEC didn't say a word about any of them. Did he get approval for every single one of them? I think it's meaningful that the only tweet the SEC complained about was the one that appeared to have new information.

It seems like there's an implication that to be "material" the information has to actually matter to the people that get it. If he cites something that was in a news article, such as the 500k number, then it wouldn't be a problem, because everyone already has it.

And again, it's not an edit, so he can't be breaching the rules about edits. It's either a straightforward release of material information and he's in violation, or it doesn't count as material information and he's off the hook.

tl;dr: Microsoft will sell to any USA-approved entity because their number one goal is to maximize shareholder value as a USA-based corporation.

Unless they're a public benefit corporation, an FFRDC, or one of any variety of non-profits, this is their only goal. (probably missed a few, but you get the point)

Here in northern Sweden we have a lot of wear on the roads. After a few years you can clearly see where most drive because there is a deep depression after the wheels. If you drive a truck in the track you will notice that you don't fit, the distance is slightly smaller than the trucks wheel distance. It does however fit exactly for the cars.

We do however all have spikes on the cars in winter, I'm guessting this helps a lot. The trucks usually does not have spikes. There is a lot of trucks too, hauling wood out of the forests.
I mean, I'd imagine that for some products (say, movies) more of the same might be a viable strategy.

Read speeds are pretty good but write speeds not so much. For our particular use case 99.99% of queries ran would have been inserts with reports only generated once per month.
I understand the opening sentence is a rhetorical flourish... but it is also astoundingly wrong.

> This year, on Imbolc – a Gaelic tradition that sees Ireland celebrate the patron saint Brigid, a Celtic goddess...

Imbolc is a celebration of the Goddess Brigid, which very few Irish celebrate. The feast day for Saint Brigid is on the same day, and is celebrated more widely. While she was possibly a Christianised version of the goddess, she is probably a real person who was later given the characteristics of the Goddess by her hagiographers and by confused lay people. Apparently the tradition continues.

> ...who allegedly had 7th-century lesbian romances and carried out the first abortion on the island...

I don't think that the 'allegedly' is a strong enough qualifier here. It's a relatively modern interpretation of a piece of hagiography (rather than a text considered to be more historical). Historically, neither has been asserted by the Catholic church or by scholars generally.

And finally... The goddess clearly existed much earlier than the 7th century, so assuming they're talking about the saint... she lived from the middle of the fifth century to the first part of the sixth. The book about her was written in the 7th.

I get what you're saying, and I have some sympathy for it. But the thing is that I'm a Christian, so my moral code simply does not allow those feelings to become actions. Vengeance belongs to the Lord, alone. (Yes I am aware that other people interpret it differently, this applies to basically every topic. This is my interpretation.) The moral story arc of the New Testament is that proportional punishment is not justice. If people hate me for sticking to my moral code, fine.

I hate to make arguments like that in a place with so many gray tribe members, but I feel like you could approach the same ideas with utilitarian arguments. It's not hard to make an argument that we should punish recidivism chance = 0 offenders to provide deterrence. But then the goal cannot be lowest crime, but the most efficient society.
No. The point is to never have to look at, modify, or understand the underlying code. So, in this sense, it's not a typical code generation tool where if you want to tweak something you need to do a lot of work to find the right place in the code.

The possibilities are kind of limitless. Redis implements a lot of data structures beyond a simple k/v map.

A simple non-caching example, but we use it for distributed locking, more specifically a distributed countdown latch. This is much cleaner and more performant (for us) than doing a similar operation in a traditional RDBMS.

Another very common example that is used in a lot of tutorials is maintaining a leaderboard using a sorted set.

In practice, there are a lot of ways to arguably maximize shareholder value, so this gives management a lot of leeway to do what they want. For-profit company cultures can differ drastically.

The real driver is stock options and other ways that employees (including the CEO) get rewarded for making the stock go up. This does not necessarily mean that it's the company's only goal any more than getting paid necessarily makes you a soulless worker drone who will do anything for money. But it does tend to encourage people to celebrate profits.
Thanks. I'll reach out to you offline.
It's not a slam dunk that more CO2 == good for plants.

As per https://www.politico.com/agenda/story/2017/09/13/food-nutrie...

> As best scientists can tell, this is what happens: Rising CO2 revs up photosynthesis, the process that helps plants transform sunlight to food. This makes plants grow, but it also leads them to pack in more carbohydrates like glucose at the expense of other nutrients that we depend on, like protein, iron and zinc.

It's easy of you consider he's just promoting facts as any normal CEO would.

He's not yet used to the idea he has to be hyper specific with some data.

He's a showman, a salesperson, he's always going to err on the positive.

Constantly pitching, selling.

It's the SEC etc. that care about very specific details that could affect the company.

So while you're right - as a CEO has has 'no excuse' - the fact he would do it makes perfect sense.

I don't think he's trolling anyone, he's the same as he ever was, probably under a lot of stress, a little manic, and avoiding what he probably thinks is the narrow confines of corporate culture and language.
In Norway the use of GPS has been discussed for a few years, and as far I understand the newest solutions being discussed have been approved by the data privacy watchdog, which generally tends to be very negative to government surveillance.

There are many options there, at the cost of making audits/complaints harder, such as e.g. only keeping GPS traces for a very short time (or not at all), and gradually overwrite more and more details, such as coordinates, reducing time precision, and finally consolidate to amounts owed. Those settings could be left under the control of the car owner as well, or let you dump a signed record of the precise data if you as the owner suspect inaccuracies and want to collect evidence, and then allow you to wipe the details from the device and only leave aggregate numbers.

The point is if the device is tamper-proof enough, you don't need it to record your movements, you just need it to monitor your movements and location with sufficient precision to decide what amounts should be added to running totals of tax.

Of course there is a risk some governments will decide they'd really like more detailed records.

I disagree.

The reason there will be no Snowden in China is primarily that China doesn't hide its spying, and secondarily becaue China does not maintain the pretense of moral superiority on international scale. Snowden-type leak from China would not change the way Chinese citizens perceive their government, and nobody else would care, much less exert outside pressure to change things.

Leaks and whistleblowers will happen, though - they do happen even in most oppressive of regimes.

Where the USB-IF messed up - they should have used their trademark to standardize these cables.

They should have visibly differentiated charging and data cables, and required all cables with USB connectors at both ends to be rated 100W, and this new 20 gbps (2x2) speed if also supporting data.

Cables with USB-C and another USB port at the end should be required to meet both the power and data requirements of that connector. (so no charging compatibility connectors). USB-C to USB-A should have been restricted to 3.0 only.

Alt modes can use a plain USB-C cable (like Thunderbolt 3 does), but cannot place additional restrictions on the cable if they want USB connectors on both ends.

If the cable has any other connector on the end (such as DisplayPort), it would be up to the creator of the DisplayPort alt mode to indicate if there are any differing requirements.

Likewise if the cable is integrated into a device, it can meet its needs - be charging only, only use USB 2,etc.

This imho would solve nearly all the problems - the problem is that I can pick up a USB-C to USB-C cable and it could literally be one of (at least) six things internally - with no markings to differentiate.

WWII was a thing, the Nazi party came to power and started pushing their agenda, and the holocaust actually happened. And the farther back in history you go, the more it becomes apparent that it's not really all that much of a statistical outlier except in scale.

That we don't need to continuously make sure we're strong enough to defend ourselves is a fiction that people in countries with strong governments that enforce the rule of law like to tell themselves. That's only possible because the government is there to be the ultimate arbiter, and as libertarians will quickly point out, that's only possible because they have, and ruthlessly enforce, their monopoly on violence (to our collective benefit, IMO).

No such thing exists for nations between themselves, except for pacts like the U.N. or NATO, and that's not a solution, it's just kicking the problem up the chain so we can act like it's not our problem.

AI is an element of this in a number of ways. First, though, this is not a platform for writing AI applications. It's a platform for making it faster to write messaging, social, collaborate, productivity, etc. apps much faster than.

One way AI factors in involves finding a core set of primitives that can describe all software functionality. Programming languages and web frameworks are more granular than Dry and so they require you to write a lot more code. Dry has a higher level of abstraction than concepts like arrays, servers, divs, database tables, etc.

On the other hand, Dry is not just a template system that gives you a predefined set of application types like messenger, social network, discussion group, etc. that you can just specify. That's a higher level of abstraction and can be fairly limiting and brittle.

Dry's abstractions are in at a level that is between those two extremes; it lets your write a lot of apps without needing to be too granular.

There is research in AI called "Knowledge Representation and Reasoning" that identifies fundamental primitives that can express a wide variety of concepts and ideas. I've been a researcher in this field my whole career and was a professor in that area once. We've translated those results into software and have used them to develop a core set of primitives that let you describe the behavior of a lot of software.

I know that is all vague, but we'll start to be more precise and concrete over the next few weeks.
