I was stunned when people actually began 'Vaping'. I thought (and still think) it doesn't have the basic 'cool factor' that a lit cigarette has. (Why I think that's cool is something I probably should think about. It doesn't seem to be a naturally generated thought, but rather one that's been placed there through years of media influence.)

I imagine there's some deep social need that's being met by the e-cigs.

One of my favorite movie lines of all time is Aaron Eckhart’s (who plays a lobbyist for the tobacco industry) line at the beginning of “Thank You For Smoking” where he introduces the doctor:

“This is the man they rely on—Erhardt Von Grupten Mundt. They found him in Germany; I won't go into the details. He's been testing the link between nicotine and lung cancer for thirty years, and hasn't found any conclusive results. The man's a genius—he could disprove gravity.”

That's definitely a good improvement over a single final commit, but there has to be some cut-off time and it would be perfectly possible to control the voter's ability to make last moment corrections. Buy/coerce the vote close to the deadline, then keep them occupied until it's over.

A countermeasure might be an undisclosed deadline lottery: a guaranteed voting window until some time t, then allow corrections until an individually randomized cutoff moment t+x, with a sufficiently big range for x (up to two days, perhaps?). Don't provide feedback wether a correction went through or not to make it even more opaque to a possible buyer.

I think it matters quite a bit, but for testing rather than buying. If I know that I want a Tesla I can drive for an extra 40 minutes to buy it. If I am deciding between, say, a Volvo, BMW or Toyota I might test drive a Tesla if it is close, but not if I have to drive 40 min each way. This may not be completely rational (test drives take longer than we budget for), but it still affects such decisions.

* No battery tech

* Substandard electric drive trains

* No OTA systems

* No charging network

* Crappy entertainment systems (your long term concerns are ridiculous: Bluetooth, USB connections, auto wipers and high beams, voice commands, energy monitoring > this is nothing compared to the issues that the competition has)

* Poor self-driving tech and almost zero data

* No control over the distribution network (the dealerships are a PITA for a manufacturer that tries to sell EV, because dealer can't service cars that don't need service except washer fluid)

* etc

If it goes belly up, it’s no longer a going concern. Moreover, liquidation value of manufacturing facilities is pennies on the dollar. (Before legal fees, creditors’ claims, et cetera.) Supply chains are too tightly integrated; it’s expensive to swap in someone else’s kit.

> the pace at which Tesla is improving and innovating is far greater than the pace at which any other automaker is doing it.

What portion of Telsa's pace of improvements and innovation would you say is due to Telsa only recently having got started at this, 16 years ago, compared to Toyota 86 year history of automobile manufacturing, or Ford's 116 years.
The "meaninglessness" of distances in high-dimensional spaces, as defined in that Wikipedia article (i.e. the maximum and minimum distances of points becoming relatively close to each other) only happens when all those dimensions are independent. If the data is actually low-dimensional, such that PCA loses no information (trivial case: tack a billion zeros to all your vectors) then it won't change the distances at all, so it doesn't matter whether you compute them in the high-dimensional space or the low-dimensional projection obtained with PCA.

PCA works under the assumption that you're dealing with a low-dimensional signal that was projected into a high-dimensional space and then corrupted by low-magnitude high-dimensional noise. By taking only the top k components, you filter out the noise and get a better signal. But if you have a low-magnitude high-dimensional signal corrupted by highly-correlated noise, then naively applying PCA will filter out the signal and leave you with only noise.

So whether PCA makes your data more meaningful or less really depends on whether that assumption is satisfied or not. Dimensionality reduction is no silver bullet.
Monopolies that underproduce/underinnovate.

The 2008 crash involved a combination of a principal-agent problem (between mortgage underwriters and the ultimate sources of capital that bought the CDOs) and the limits of the market as a transmitter of reliable information.

The market does not by default transmit its signals in a way that humans respond optimally to (not even from the point of view of their interests). e.g. people discount the future gas savings of a slightly more expensive car in a way that implies an implicit interest rate much higher than the actual one.

The market assigns the power to consume (money) in ways that do not reflect actual human values - i.e. the decision that someone whose skills are in demand should be able to consume 4x what their neighbor can, rather than 2x, is not a question of efficiency but of values, and when it comes to the high and low ends the market's values are inhuman.
Is there an established link between nicotine and (lung) cancer? I wasn't aware of one. Of course there is an established link between tobacco use and lung cancer, but that's an entirely different thing.

Of the studies that I've seen, nicotine actually is quite healthy and has many upsides: increased working memory and recall, preventive against dementia and parkinson's, and a mild mood stabilizer/anti-psychotic.

My understanding is that intermediate CAs can be limited to issuing certificates only for specific domains.

Is it not possible to get a root-signed intermediate CA for someone who can prove control over a domain? This would allow you to issue certificates for "xxx.internal.mydomain.com", without the need for a wildcard certificate, and without the need for using a public CA for every individual certificate?

CT would still be a problem unless the CA could be flagged to "allow non-CT certificates", and the browser ignore those requirements as they ignore CT requirements for manually installed root certs

The benefits to this is
1) there's no need to manually install a root certificate on each client device
2) Your internal domains are not reliant on an external CA
I had a 40v electric mower with 5A battery for $350 new a few years ago. Battery life got shorter every run, the stopped working after 2 years, replaced under 3 year warranty. Second battery life continues to get shorter.

New 5A batteries are $150. I had some 2A batteries from other lawn equipment but the mower eats through those in 10m, plus puts another charge cycle on them.

I finally got feud up and got a Honda self-propelled gas mower for $400 that should last 10 years. I think battery mower is great for tiny lawns, say 0.1 acres or less. Anything bigger and li-ion tech is going to be too expensive over the years.

Love the battery weedeacker and hedge trimmer though. The battery blower is great for blowing the porch or driveway, but for fall cleanup or gutters it's the same story; get a corded electric for that.

It is remarkable they were outbid.

This acquisition has big implications for HPC in particular.
It not only makes it slightly harder to read - it can also make it slightly harder to modify.

For example, if all variables in a code base are camelCase but one variable StartsWithUpper, chances are every time you reference that variable in a future code change you'll call it startsWithUpper and then hit an error (depending on the language, either at compile time or run time), and have to go back and fix it. So it adds a little time to development in that way. Negligible, but non-zero

A snippet I liked:

"I used to work as a waiter, and we were supposed to up-sell various things like top-shelf margaritas and seasoned sour cream for the french fries. I sucked at it...

One day the manager wanted to know what was up, and I said something like, “Man, if they want top-shelf margaritas they’ll ask. I don’t need to push it on them.”

My manager said, “That’s true, they are likely to ask if they want something. But what if they don’t know we have it?”"
Front end Weekly Digest (4 – 10 Mar 2019)
1) In countries with public heath system, people who don't smoke are also affected when the government has to subside treatment for smoking related diseases.

2) Smoking impacts on individual productivity which directly impacts on economy:

> Current smokers missed more days of work and experienced more unproductive time at work compared with former smokers and nonsmokers. The average annual cost for lost productivity for nonsmokers was 2623 dollars/year compared with 3246 dollars/year for former smokers and 4430 dollars/year for current smokers. More than half the costs were due to unproductive time at work. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17033509

3) Tobacco smoking is the cause of many preventable diseases and premature deaths in the UK and around the world. It poses enormous health- and non-health-related costs to the affected individuals, employers, and the society at large. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that, globally, smoking causes over US$500 billion in economic damage each year: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4502793/

Dismissing discussions about impacts of smoking as moralistic is borderline disingenuous in face of the numerous studies freely available on the internet.

The C64's BASIC prompt. The concept of a computer booting into an environment - an empty canvas, if you will - that allows you to immediately create something was ingenious.

Similarly, what sparked my interest in web programming was the ability to view the page source code in order to see how a specific result can be achieved.

While perhaps not going as far as the web's original creators envisioned it to be (the user being able to directly edit and publish from the browser itself) this feature allowed you to quickly learn from and build on existing code as well as try out new patterns and practices.
