> Better to spend it on competent staff than a company lighting VC money on fire, no?

False dichotomy though. You either acknowledge that getting a vendor to do that for you also implies competent staff or you acknowledge that hiring "competent staff" is not like flipping a switch and requires training, ramp-up time, few wrong hires, getting managers to guide the teams, etc

I'm not sure which way is better, but I don't think the industry has decided either :)

Rumors are that the model (a stretched version) is aerodynamically unstable without FBW.

Stretched versions of the MD11 cargo also mad many stability problems.
There is no aim to get one or zero in output. We need to have enough ones for XOR algorithm to invert bits. A xor 1 => inverted A. A xor 0 = A. So if we have too few ones, source data will remain unchanged and that quickly become a pattern. The same is if we have too few zeros and amount of inverts become predictable.

You're mixing up two different probabilities. The chance of more fatalities is high, which justifies grounding the fleet, but the probability of a crash of the particular plane a particular person is on is still rather low. Not as low as other planes, but still low.

Same here - linux user for like 20 years, last 5-7 have been debian. I user it at home and work (3 HDMI monitors) no issues. I have a few things that don't work in the enterprise environment (Skype mostly works, cant transfer files or make calls directly - using Pidgin and SIPE; Evolution with Exchange connector is just OK, sometimes the Address book barfs; no Visio level drawing tool where I can share drawings with co-workers - have to use Windows laptop). But, everything else just works - running Gnome 3.22.3 - I am a NetSec engineer and I develop apps for my team using Python (PyCharm with Snap) - so, not totally FREE, but totally works and made my workflow faster and better. Tilda and Terminator as emulators, ZSH (best shell ever) - all in all, never going back.
Depends on my goals. If I'm buying or selling for investment, I just don't care about that jitter. Because my decision to buy or sell doesn't happen at that speed.

If I'm racing other people's orders on the sub-second level then I care. But what's the point of that? Why should people spend their lifes on it? Why should we as a society bear the cost of this activity? I'd rather see people do something with external benefits.

>> My comments on understanding can be summarized as such: either

Please don't do this. Too many assumptions about what and how I think leave a
bad taste.

Yes, a model that can identify synonyms accurately lacks human faculties,
including understanding. That's what modern machine learning boils down to.
There are many tasks we thought would require human intelligence or reasoning,
that can, after all, be reduced to dumb classification. In other words, there
is no need to claim "understanding" to explain the output of a classification
model, just because a human can perform the same task _and_ can understand it.

As to the representation- that is the only thing that matters. If you want to
claim a model represents a concept, you have to be able to show where in the
model's structure that concept is represented. If there is a representation-
where is it?
I suspect a good number of those stores are already in strategic locations, compared to other major car manufacturer locations which are all around major cities, I can think of at least several places I can get Toyota / Lexus cars in my city. For Tesla in my city I can only find one location and it's 58 minutes away from where I live. Let's see, I can drive 15 minutes or less to try out a Toyota, Lexus, and other cars from other manufacturers, or I can drive an hour to try a Tesla, worse yet if I can't even test drive one, how will I know I want one? This would be a problem if they closed up enough Tesla locations.

Yeah, in my case it was a pretty straightforward situation with 1 airline not having the 8max at all (despite an article saying otherwise?) and my other flights being on 737-700's. I read a fair bit about this whole mess today and saw some posts saying there was a way to use SeatGuru to reliably distinguish between Max 8 / legacy 737-800, but I didn't need to dig that much myself and as you noted especially for flights far out, they can't guarantee equipment won't be swapped.
Yes, but did I say anything else?

I let my nephews tear down broken old laptops for parts reuse, for example ... quite fun and useful.

And since I am in germany, I can also add more to the recycling part. We sort old glas by colors - they do get recycled.
Old paper - same.

And even plastic to some extent, even though I know that most of that gets burned.
But some of it actually does get recycled.

Our ordinary trash bin is quite small.
i think you learn both by surrounding yourself with people who do one or both (whichever you feel you lack). In my opinion, this is the one true secret sauce of silicon valley, living and working here means the likelihood of all your random encounters and people you are introduced to being dreamer/doer combos is very high (even if many of them may be misguided).
Getting people to do something means we start to solve these problems. Plastic in the ocean and food chain is not nothing.

Same for climate change, start fixing small things build awareness and move onto bigger things.

Alternately tell people to stop doing anything.
Airliners are exceptionally safe as a general rule. Small GA planes are TWO orders of magnitude less safe. Would you avoid a flight in a single engine prop plane? I wouldn't. While it's a certainty that many people will die in small plane crashes this year, it's still unlikely that the particular plane I'm on will crash.

I think this is a classic case of people overreacting to dramatic but unlikely risk. And to be clear, I support grounding the fleet.

It may be worse once we see other manufacturers producing all-electric (mostly) self-driving (capable) cars. For example I know Toyota intends to have an all electric lineup in the next few years[0]. However, I think it's possible for Tesla to remain despite all this. They seem to be quite ahead of the competition in having both all-electric and useful self-driving capabilities at least from my limited viewpoint.

Disclaimer: I drive Toyota, but I don't work for any car companies.

You could, and this is more or less how your computer generates random data currently. It takes in lots of data from the environment that would be hard or almost impossible to predict. But the amount of entropy you get out of that might be too low for your needs, so instead you use it as a seed for a pseudorandom number generator.

On Linux you can just feed /dev/random with whatever data you want, and it will be part of your seed.

That's the Malthusian hypothesis, an assumption that has been repeatedly and consistently disproven since it has first been formulated more than 200 years ago.

Strangely enough, it's still surprisingly popular.

Groups like the Club of Rome and reports such as "The Limits to Growth" often don't state so explicitly but when you assert that artificial limits should be imposed on economic growth you're basically making a decision about which human beings get to be born in the future.

In my opinion that's a both patronising as well as deeply anti-humanistic notion that doesn't take into account that there have always been and - extrapolating from the past - likely will still be paradigm shifts in the future which will allow us to make both more efficient use of existing resources and to discover new types of resources or new avenues for extracting existing ones.
But lowering the risk can only happen at the expense of other traders. So overall there is no lowering of risk. HFT is just increasing the cost of market participation for other traders. Because they pay the profits of the HFT traders.
It’s not that simple. You need to have a market and also advertise.

Actually, no. Step 1 is to increase your rates and start labeling yourself as a consultant. Step 2 is to start charging by the day, with an hour or two in each one reserved for your administrative work (email, prospecting, accounting, etc). The rest will follow.

And if a lead enquires about why you're so much more expensive than that option they found on some cheapo website, you can spell out the consultant's version of the iron triangle: cheap, competent, available; pick two.

Since the current three top-level comments are all the exact same environmental complaint, all without having actually read the link, here are the relevant quotes:

> It would be an attractive plastic alternative—one that would break down naturally in the environment, and wouldn't leach hormone-mimicking compounds into water
That's of course a lie. Both from practical standpoint (police will invent stuff out of whole cloth if needed with courts rubber-stamping it) and from legal one, too. КоАП РФ [1] article 20.2 6.1, "unsanctioned gatherings leading to interruption of… pedestrian flow… up to 15 days of detention" (do I need to explain that any gathering is in practice an "interruption"?). Moreover, УК РФ 212.1 [2] says that breaking the previous one twice in a half year is punishable by up to 8 years in jail. I'd also like to remind you about the case of Ildar Dadin [3], who got thrown in jail for 3 years for one-person pickets. Sure, he was released when the case got widely publicised, but the laws and court system that did it are still in place.

I reckon you have a very… optimistic and cursory knowledge of Russian laws in that area.

I think you're conflating direct communication with abstract representation. We know that (AFAIK) all primates, and many other animals signal each other, but have failed to find any sign of them creating abstract representations or being capable of learning them despite many concerted efforts to teach them, particularly with primates but other animals too. I think it's clear that these are distinct skills.

Regarding your speculation that it has to involve members of the same species, I don't see any evidence based reason to suspect that and plenty not to. It's looks a lot like special pleading. We've had great success teaching animals to do all sorts of complex tasks. You yourself cite an example of sophisticated inter-species communications and co-operation that argues pretty strongly against the expectation for any requirement for intra-special specificity to communications or learning in general. So given that there don't seem to be any other tasks, skills or communications facilities that require same-species specificity, I'd need to see an argument as to why this one skill is special and might not be communicable across species, when we've not come across such a barrier before.

I don't see the risk. Even in the worst case scenario he can still become a middle manager in some random company and get by until retirement.
And this is how to shrink a mounted filesystem in Linux when you use btrfs:

btrfs filesystem resize 4g /

It's just not supported for ext4. You can grow an ext4 file system, even when it is your currently mounted root, just not shrink it. While it's great that NTFS does (now) support it few other file systems do because it's a relatively uncommon and quite risky.

I certainly wouldn't shrink mounted filesystems even on those that support it because storage systems are quite fickle and the threat of silent corruption is real.

For most filesystems what you normally do is a full dump and restore. Closing all file handles and live migrating to a moved root filesystem is someone's idea of a showing off, it is absolutely not something anyone would do in production.

I think you inevitably take some risk. Tesla is, and has been since founding, a risk taking company. They bet the house on whatever they're doing next, and that means they may not exist later.

Also, electric cars are new, Tesla is new. So, the value of your 5 yr old tesla could (probably will) suffer more competition from newer models than an average ICE car, like the resale hit last year's model 3s just shouldered. ... Even if the companny is doing fine, servicing cars and the cars themselves age well... resale value is riskier than average.

This is just the cost of being an early-ish adopter. You could lease, or buy used to limit risk, but these have implications too.

The low risk, high resale value option is still (eg) an ICE toyota. You can't have everything. :)
The first two links you posted have 1 and 0 comments respectively. The third one is helpful though with lots of discussion.
You just looked up the class of a which is A and then you patched the foo method in the class definition of A. This is no different than you saying A.foo = lambda ...

But what you can't do in Python is monkey patch a method to a class for which you don't have a reference. Try it.

This is not an "implementation limitation", it is because Python is not a prototype language, so you can't monkey patch what it means to "call a function" for every method in every class because there is no "Function" object that is a prototype of all method calls in Python that plays a similar role to Function in Javascript. Similarly you can't patch "Object" de-reference and change the behavior of every single object de-reference. Those prototype chains are not exposed to you.

In javascript you can override methods of classes which you can't reference. That's huge. Imagine one person creates an object with a foo method, and someone else changes what it means for all objects of any class to call any method. Think about what you have to audit to determine what the behavior of foo is -- in Python, you just need to audit anything that has a reference to the class where foo is defined. In javascript, you need to know what all the code is doing. That's a big difference.

Free Book: Clean Architectures in Python
[I posted the original news here on HN on Christmas, so I hope this doesn't feel like I'm flooding the site with self-advertisement]

On Christmas 2018 I published on Leanpub a free book, "Clean Architectures in Python". It's a humble attempt to organise and expand some posts I published on my blog in the last years.

You can find it here: https://leanpub.com/clean-architectures-in-python

It has already been downloaded by 7,300 people and some of them were kind enough to support me with money. It already went through 7 minor revisions thanks to the help of some readers who spotted typos and errors (revision 8 is in the works). I want to say thanks to everyone who downloaded and read it. It's really good to know that some people find it helpful for their career.

The book is divided in two parts, this is a brief overview of the table of contents

* Part 1 - Tools

- Chapter 1: Introduction to TDD

- Chapter 2: On unit testing

- Chapter 3: Mocks

* Part 2 - The clean architecture

- Chapter 1: Components of a clean architecture

- Chapter 2: A basic example

- Chapter 3: Error management

- Chapter 4: Database repositories

Some highlights:

- The book is written with beginners in mind

- It contains 3 full projects, two small ones to introduce TDD and mocks, a bigger one to describe the clean architecture approach

- Each project is explained step-by-step, and each step is linked to a tag in a companion repository on GitHub

The book is free, but if you want to contribute with money I will definitely appreciate the help. My target however is to encourage the discussion about software architectures, both in the Python community and outside it.

I hope you will enjoy the book! Please spread the news on your favourite social network and thanks for downloading it.
It's worse than that. Tesla has embraced the modern concept of embedded computers - OTA updates, constant phoning home, user prevented from even attempting to gain root. It's a valid concern as to how long a Tesla car can survive the death of its company even with perfect mechanical servicing.

Does that also shrink the partition? Otherwise you're not comparing equivalent things...

P.S. I realize an existence proof makes us mathematically happy, but it's a little disingenuous to suggest file system experience on Linux and Windows is comparable merely because of the existence of some uncommon file system with similar capabilities. The reality is most Linux users are on ext4 rather than on btrfs or zfs, and most Windows users are on NTFS rather than ReFS or FAT32, so their experience with shrinking file systems is not going to be remotely comparable.
Please do. Same here... read the initial request, but when the lower banner thing popped up also begging for a star my perception of that was negative.
