In fairness, musk is obviously contemptful of the sec, and public market norms/institutions generally.

He should probably find a way to exit as Tesla ceo, imo. Being a public company CEO doesn't suit him.

He built a car company from a cold start, made good cars, and pushed EVs forward by a good many years. We're now at the point where most major manufacturers make EVs. People are willing to buy them. Range is getting sufficient. Plans to start banning ICE cars next decade are getting serious.

Job done, and done well. Get a CEO that does platitudes to run Tesla.

Go do spaceX, boring companies, hyperloop... plenty of stuff to do. Plenty of money. Plenty of private investors willing to fund muskco projects.

This Elon Musk Vs the stock market stuff is not going to be fun for anyone.
HoloLens 2 Remote Collaboration is fake?
Facebook, Twitter and other media are still rumbling on the news from MWC-19 and Microsoft release of its HoloLens 2 with “Spatial” remote collaboration demo.
The project was presented by Spatial team and CTO of Mattel (iconic toy producer). The crowd is super-excited about the demo, however we’d love to give some thought on what Microsoft’s recent release really stands for:

1) Turning 2D images into full 3D avatars in few seconds sounds quite challenging. I mean, there’re awesome guys like Wolf3D, but it still doesn’t work just like that even for them. Have a look at Jinha Lee (00:21 on the video) standing with his back turned to the crowd, this is simply impossible to create out of 2D photos – not online or within seconds - ever!

2) Moving on to magical search engine (from 02:10) with predefined 3D objects: there is a 3D model with animation for every search. Looks more like a fantasy to me.

3) There is plenty of black color in the video, while HoloLens holograms are created by adding light to real life light. This means that white appears bright and black renders transparent. To put it simple you cannot see black color in Hololens.

Bottom line, we believe the whole thing was a replay with pre-recorded user actions(best case scenario) or a video. What really confuses is why the presented case was this basic. At some point the Mattel CTO states that the remote collaboration gives a faster way to the market + reduces time for travel. This is so true, BUT: in the remote collaboration demo we’ve spotted just the collaboration part.
As others have pointed out, make sure to mark files that are not supposed to be exposed to the client by prefixing them with a underscore, otherwise you'll have a bit of a security issue. Otherwise, you're good to go.
"significant time?" The author dismisses it in a single paragraph because of a single chart which shows that stagnation is not only among the lowest earners. Yet the same chart clearly shows that the same level of stagnation is not present among highest earners. Minimum wage laws do not just affect minimum wage earners. They affect everyone. Minimum wage earners are hit the worst, despite the laws being intended to help them.

It also affects inflation, which the author posits as the leading cause of stagnation (misprediction of inflation). Minimum wage causes inflation, and the effects of it are unpredictable, because you don't know who is going to raise their prices to make up the additional employment costs, or who is going to lose their jobs because smaller businesses downsize because they can't afford the increased minimum wage costs.
aha cheers!

Concrete evidence, you say?

I will give you a history.

Osama bin laden. Hafeez Saeed. Dawood Ibrahim.

All of them safe and sound in Pakistan.

Just extrapolate and you can arrive at the inescapable conclusion that Pakistan has and is even now, harboring all notorious terrorists. That extends to Mansoor as well. It's a foregone conclusion that Pakistan is the world's biggest exporter of terrorism.

Evidence of Hafeez Saeed's involvement in 26/11 was handed over. What did you do with that evidence, huh?

Pakistani's have lost the right to ask for evidence any more.

You are just another belligerent Pakistani masquerading as a pacifist, when in reality, you are equally warmongering.

You have been victims because you milked snakes in your backyard. Do you think you deserve sympathy? Having said that, Indian's felt sad when children were targeted in your schools by terrorists.

> My time is now worth twice as much as it was,

no. your time is now worth half as much as it once was. the tool is what brings the increase in value, not you nor your time.

the owner can now replace you with someone who costs half as much and is half as efficent and get the same result as before the new tool was brought in. even with this decrease in time efficiency, the cheaper less efficient worker has the same value as you did before.

so lets say the owner still wants to increase efficiency but cut costs. ok, they fire you and hire someone else for 75% of your wage and 75% of your efficiency. the owner can still make the same amount of widgets as before in less time and for less cost.

your value has decreased, not increased.
Good point -- Access is a great middle ground between kludging something together in a spreadsheet and writing an entire app from scratch.
I think a lot of people undermine the competitive nature and other risks that companies have to take in its pursuit of higher profitability only looking at a few with bad practices.

For example, a company may have to spend 1 year's worth of R&D to reach a new tool that would add 10% productivity to its current workforce. What % should go to increasing employees' wage? What are the risks of competitors finding similar productivity gains and not increasing employee's wage, leading to a competitive disadvantage to your company?

When a company hits a breakthrough that adds a multiplier to a part or all of its work, society, including its employees expects it to share more of their gains. What is the right balance? Who deserves the gains and at what %?

I do believe you have some fair points on the employee's side of things and that your last paragraph really hits the nail with a key problem society faces.

Regarding composability:

Suppose I want to add the following to that calendar:

1. two little emojis (or ASCII art) at the top to scroll among months. Bound to left/right arrow keys, and also clickable with mouse. This is a common feature of the calendar widgets I've seen.

2. clickable mutable daily content. So if I peruse my calendar and spot an error I can click to select, fix it, then click off it to update it.

Can this be achieved only using shell scripting?

There's a substantial audience for SBCs as Multimedia PCs, Emulation consoles, and even as a primary desktop. The RPi interface has effectively become a peripheral standard for all the different case/input/etc hats it can wear. (RetroFlag makes great use of this). With a low price point and reasonably decent performance, why wouldn't they have such an audience?

So yes, that the Orange Pi struggles to watch YouTube videos, scroll through web pages, et al is an important concern. It sounds like driver support just isn't there for the hardware it provides.

I'd hazard to say, on HN no less, that SBCs as tinker boards for robotics and cybernetics projects are the minority use-case.
> If he didn't want to be bound by the requirement to have all his tweets go through a legal review, then he shouldn't have agreed to a settlement with the SEC that required him to do so.

A lot of people don't realize this is industry-standard. Any reasonable CEO wants to make sure they aren't inadvertently committing securities fraud with the send of a tweet.

Tweets being reviewed by the legal department are par for the course at any publicly-traded company.
I agree with GP. Security is always a concern. I too used to think as long as it's behind the firewall, or a local only exploit, it doesn't matter. But it always matters. Small apps become big apps. Small user bases large ones. Someone gets onto your internal network and then your small userbase app for trusted employees becomes a jumping off point, etc.

Your sort of thinking is how you end up with Yahoo levels of account leaks.

Security always matters.
As a person of color, I always find your reasoning (not the dad's) somewhat ridiculous. The fact is being related to someone who may be impacted by these things does actually change how people behave. My non-POC wife married me, and obviously, she now cares more about issues facing people of color. Not that she didn't care in the past, but now it's not a matter of an abstract idea (which people rarely put themselves out to defend), it's her children and husband.

Cut the guy some slack. It's perfectly natural to prefer those you are family with.
Yes, writting an express backend is really simple, some plugins, error-handling etc. and you can run it in less than 1 hour.

But the Frontend with webpack needs definitely more time, hours and hours to fiddle webpack to your needs.
This project has a definded strucutre and support defined modules (react), so it could save you a lot of webpack config time, but you can not do everything with it. You have to use it as it is.
Back in the early 2000's, IIRC, Squeak Smalltalkers succeeded in getting a Smalltalk runtime down to 385 kB. Haters still complained about it being "too fat." There was an R&D project which got one Smalltalk image for a Unix-style command line utility to 45 kB. Back in those days, the standard class library for a VisualWorks Smalltalk image was about 12MB on disk.

In contrast, Perl had a runtime of something like 768 kB. Yet, VisualWorks could load its runtime faster, if you tweaked things, like shutting off the boot-up chime and notifier dialog.

Linux SBCs are in a bit of a sad state. There was a rush to the market, which has led to many boards being in a very sad state when it comes to software support. Moreover, no interesting SoCs have come out for these things in just about forever.

Software support for the Raspberry Pi is pretty good, but just about every other hardware platform doesn't get enough support. This is because the vendor doesn't want to, cannot cope with support, or the community isn't there. And that makes them very difficult to use. As is the case for this board. How do you release a board in 2019 for which the standard image is a three year old release of Ubuntu?

I'd say Odroid's announced N2 [1] is probably the first interesting SBC to come out in long time, just because it has an SoC that should be a lot more powerful and feature-rich than any other SBCs. 4x ARM Cortex A73 + dedicated gigabit + 4 GiB DDR4 + a Vulkan capable GPU is a really compelling package for $79 (or $63 for the 2GB model). But also for that it's a certainty that software support will suck, at least initially. They already announced that when running GNU/Linux the GPU will only support Wayland and not X11, and their initial Android release will run a 32-bit userland on a 64-bit kernel (how do these things happen??).

There are extremely tiny and cheap micro sd card USB adapters, basically just the size of the card. Stay away from generic ones though. Lexar and SanDisk make good USB 3 compatible ones, and are quite reliable.

Don't get Kingston, like this one, they seem to break leaving half the thing inside the USB port way too often in my experience :

Ace! but in terms of running it, how would Heroku know how to, ie. if there's no `package.json`, there'll be no `npm run start` defined?

I thought Qualcomm integrated all that onto the SOC after LTE. LTE was a huge battery drain at first because they weren't integrated.

Corporate environments where "endpoint solutions" snoop through all traffic to detect malware activity.
While I understand the use case, I would not support it. What I find unacceptable is, assuming the article is correct, that ETSI is asking NIST to recommend their crippled TLS in their new guidelines rather than TLS1.3.

Disabling PFS and thus enabling the decryption of all TLS sessions should be a conscious decision rather than something that was there 'by default' (and could easily be abused).
Sorry, I forgot to answer your last question. It turns out that, because of how the algorithm works, the number of blocks shouldn't matter. Since it is discretizing time windows in 10ms increments, the granularity of the "effective blocks" is small enough that putting two separate large blocks on the screen, each for a shorter period of time, is roughly equivalent to putting a single large block on the screen for twice as long (for synchronization purposes, that is).
Do people use vagrant in production?
I...uh... used to browse print encyclopedias for fun when I was kid. I frequently ponder what I might have learned or accomplished as a kid when I had all the time in the world to go deep on an interest or a skill if I'd had YouTube and Wikipedia back then.
REAMS OF UPPER CASE is what is annoying!

You should almost never use it in programming, unless you mean it. I've never written Common Lisp code in upper case, other than copying and pasting from REPL output.

Allowing upper case to simply denote lower case any time you want basically PANDERS TO THE MORONS WHO SHOUT LIKE THIS in internet forums.

Supporting case insensitivity in a modern setting requires carrying a large table of Unicode data about all of the world's scripts that exhibit case.

Which scripts exhibit case is controversial. Are Japanese hiragana and katakana in a case relationship? Should れつ (retsu) and レツ (RETSU, sort of) be the same symbol or not?

Programmers used to case distinctions see FOO, Foo and foo as completely different; there is no issue there. Literate non-programmers should also see them as different. "Pat" is a name, "pat" is a verb.

Mathematics uses case distinction. If you're writing a summation notation with Σ, you can't just switch to σ. You can't switch 3 + 4i to 3 + 4I just because you feel like it.

Basically, case insensitivity is for illiterate morons with no background in mathematics.

Why it appears in classical programming languages is because 1950's and 1960's hardware didn't support large enough character sets to have both upper and lower case. Even some consumer grade microcomputers in the late 1970's and early 1980's lacked lower case, like Apple II's.

The Unix TTY system still supports folding to upper case!

Try this at your Linux bash prompt:

$ stty olcuc # output: lower case to upper case

the reverse conversion is available on input.

Thus, old programming languages were written in upper case, but with increasing support for lower case in character sets and hardware, programmers wanted to use those same languages in lower case. A pragmatic solution was to support it both ways: allow lower case for new programs, but also upper case for backward compatibility with existing code.

So it wasn't illiteracy; there was a technical reason. The technical reason doesn't exist any more, and so repeating this in new designs is just illiteracy. If you're making a new language today, you have no existing code in upper case that has to work.
Post your sources. I've seen otherwise (especially for low level drug offenses) but you're the one making the claim.
You can add sugar in anything, to make it taste batter. That's the point of sugar.

That doesn't make the product good.

Ice cream taste great, but it's not base for a healthy society.

We need product that stand on their own if we want that children chose them over industrial junk good.

It's not being a snob. I don't think I'm a better person because I happen to live in an area where you still get good tomatoes. It's random luck.

But I do think that adding sugar in things is only legitimate when you are limited in the quality of things you get. It makes sense if the food supply is limited for example: you have to do with what you have, so let's make it taste good.

But in our western society we have an abundance of food. Our problem now is obesity. And having affordable fresh tomatoes somebody would choose over frozen lasagna would be great to have.

I say that because I honestly believed, until I became an adult, that cooked carrots tasted bad. The reason ? I only ate them at school, where it was the most horrible dish you could imagine.

Avoiding healthy products because of experience of industrial crap is pretty sad.

You could easily achieve perfect accuracy on the test set by just hardcoding the entire test set into your "model" and the entire model is "1. See image, 2. Look up image in test set, 3. Read off answer".

It would be interesting if someone would see whether they could sneakily (Sokal-style) publish a paper like the following: "We took (popular model X) and augmented it with an additional lexicon of specific lookup data, and the result blows away all the competition. This is deeply profound and implies that built-in lexicons could be the key to true general intelligence!" (When in fact all they did was hard-code the test set or part of the test set into their model.) Then see how many popular presses churn out sensational articles.
I agree with everything except the implication of this (so overall good comment!)

> In fairness, musk is obviously contemptful of the sec

Being contemptful of the sec (or even the justice system) isn't a crime, despite the name "contempt of court" means "disobeying a court order" not "being contemptful". Thought crime isn't a thing.

So currently there is demand for a DOM interface in WASM and WASM has none. I have seen several WASM applications that ship markup and then fabricate their own DOM-like instance to accompany that markup to allow web-like behaviors to the WASM application instance. That is a significant amount of overhead. If WASM had access to a DOM interface applications could be written in any language that execute DOM methods on accompanying markup without need for JavaScript. You get the benefits of a self-contained event-driven UI environment with minimal overhead and without need for JavaScript, but just because WASM ships with support for DOM method execution does not necessarily mean that execution reflects a state or environment outside the WASM sandbox.

Are they really that bad though compared to historical prisons? What makes them "hell on earth"? Modern prisons you get climate control, TVs, gym access, library access, (limited) internet access, 3 meals a day, etc. Not even 200 years ago, prisons were often the crawlspace under a building where the ceiling was only 4 feet off the exposed ground. If it was summer, you sweltered. If it was winter, you froze. No entertainment of any kind was provided, you couldn't even stand up straight without hitting the ceiling and you were lucky to be fed once a day.
You can throw half a carrot and some parm rind to help even out the acidity and salt without messing up the sauce. Some san marzano tomatoes simmered for 2 hours have plenty of natural sweetness.

Empathy is an often overused word. It is quite likely your empathy only extends to yourself and a few other intimate relationship. Empathy refers to the ability to actually feel another's pain. Very few people can do this for anyone more than their family and close friends.

Most people ought to instead focus on cultivating sympathy, which is the intellectual realization of another's suffering, and turning that sympathy into action.
