>...suppose for the sake of argument...

No, I'm not going to assume your bigoted viewpoint. It absolutely is inconceivable to me. The only way you could think this view has merit is through an extreme lack of empathy and a lot of ignorance.

>...pro-gay echo chamber...

Considering gay people to by like other people is not being "pro-gay." It's just being a decent human being.

Keep in mind that we are talking about the falsification of research to malign gay people and take away their kids or prevent them from having kids. This isn't about science but about what types of views and actions Google finds acceptable and valuable on a team.

I didn't say they were big, I said they had scaled to a level where they were competing very well in volume with established brands (c.f. the Jaguar example above) and that by extension, this senseless prognostication that "Tesla is going to fail because they can't scale" is stale spin and you guys need to find new arguments. They scaled.

I mean, yeah, they built one big (heh, giga) factory instead of a few smaller ones. Your argument seems to be "OK, fine, they built one big factory, but they for sure can't build another!". And that's silly.
"ask them question after question to justify their choices"

Asking questions is not assuming. I think you're letting yourself be triggered by a flippant remark at the end of an otherwise solid comment.
> In public school, the Japanese detainment camps were almost completely glossed over in history class

Don’t worry, American schools substantially whitewash (or sometimes just skip altogether) a long history of racist and often horrific American government policy towards Native Americans, Africans, Latin Americans, Catholic Europeans, Jews, Filipinos, Pacific Islanders, Chinese, Middle Easterners, ...

(Not to mention current ongoing racist policies toward many countries and people.)

There’s nothing unique about the way we specifically gloss over treatment of Japanese Americans during WWII.

Similarly, there is plenty of “casual racism” (not to mention the decidedly not-casual sort) toward a wide variety of groups today. Try talking to people from pretty much any kind of ethnic or religious minority and you’ll hear ugly stories.

I wouldn’t say Americans on the whole care especially more or less about human rights in North Korea or for ethnic minorities in China compared to e.g. Yemen, Turkey, Ukraine, South Sudan, or Honduras. Which is to say, some Americans care a whole lot about human rights around the world, and most couldn’t be bothered.

Before we rag on Americans too much though, it’s not clear that people or governments in other countries are especially more enlightened.
Should. Lots of shoulds there, honest to god, im not choosing that system. I warn them, that warning gets acknowledged, and then the "system" we always use is used. Which can be anything.

> Even if everyone started planning tomorrow, you'd be optimistically looking at a couple of years before this hypothetical new charging network began to be useful.

What if they started planning years ago, and also started deployment years ago? Because both CCS and CHAdeMO chargers are deployed (often as multi-standard chargers), with far greater numbers of stations than Tesla has, already.
Zoinks! that'll teach me not to comment before reading the article. Thanks for the heads up!

It's interesting how, in the OP, Barbour doesn't use much of the language he leaned on for "The End of Time' [1999, the source of the ideas I was referring to]. Maybe couching his ideas in more normal language is helping him reach a wider audience, which is great.

Side note : I once emailed Barbour with some question about his view of Machian dynamics, and he emailed me back a thoughtful and kind reply - helluva nice guy

p.s. his "other" book, 'The Discovery of Dynamics' aka 'Absolute or Relative Motion?,' is also a great read
If Agile really works so well, then why are there so many conflicting opinions about it?
Fewer overall cars because fewer people own cars due to taxis and uber
and
Higher utilization of the cars that do exist because a higher % of cars are taxis and ubers

Some combination of these two factors could mean that there are fewer cars idle at any time ("storage") and more cars in service at any time. I'm not necessarily saying that's what is happening but it's definitely possible.

Looking into the future, a great outcome of driverless cars would be the commoditization of car transport. You essentially say where you're going and whether you are willing to share the ride. A driverless car pops off the queue to pick you up, or a multi-person car slightly diverts from its route to pick up up (a la Uber Pool).

- Each physical car sees much higher utilization, allowing fewer cars to exist overall and parking space needs are reduced.

- A large network of efficient driverless cars means it's more likely you can get a shared ride quickly and with minimal diversion from everyone's route. Ideally an improved shared ride experience would result in higher usage of shared rides, meaning that fewer cars need to be on the road at any given time = lower pollution and congestion.
Related: Mancur Olson

"In his first book, The Logic of Collective Action: Public Goods and the Theory of Groups (1965), he theorized that what stimulates people to act in groups is incentive; members of large groups do not act in accordance with a common interest unless motivated by personal gain (economic, social, etc.). While small groups can act on shared objectives, large groups will not work towards shared objectives unless their individual members are sufficiently motivated.[3]

In 1982, he expanded the scope of his earlier work in an attempt to explain The Rise and Decline of Nations (1982). He argues that groups such as cotton-farmers, steel-producers, and labor unions have an incentive to form lobby groups and influence policies in their favor. These policies will tend to be protectionist, which will hurt economic growth; but because the benefits of such policies are concentrated, and their costs are diffused throughout the whole population, there will be little public resistance to them. As distributional coalitions accumulate, nations burdened by them will fall into economic decline. His work influenced the formulation of the Calmfors–Driffill hypothesis of collective bargaining.[4]"

I think OP's point was that if your company provides a service, and runs 10 containers to do it, then each container provides 1/10th of the total functionality of the service and is therefore a "deciservice". The joke being that you then can't say you use "microservices" until you've got 10^6 of them.

I don't know that normal contactless cards (Visa, Mastercard, Discover, etc.) couldn't be used as-is. Tap on >> full charge. Tap off >> short trip refund. Here in southern Ontario, Metrolinx Presto cards work this way, and I don't see anything about them that can't be accomplished with standard contactless credit cards.
Here, no pilot had any simulator training for the new MAX. Because Boeing was selling the planes as the "same as old ones, no training needed." It seems Boeing also claimed up to just a few days ago that the simulator training is still not going to be needed for the MAX, just the "one hour iPad" game.
I swear I've encountered propaganda bots/shills on HN lately. Maybe it's just my imagination or maybe there are just people out there who wanna argue in favor of megacorps, but I've been getting downvoted and argued with lately for saying pretty obvious things lately.

Anyway, I'm on your side. Two planes falling from the sky killing hundreds I mean that's a non negligible percentage of 9/11 casualties. Maybe we don't know exactly the cause (tho it seems we do) but at any rate I'd wager a large sum of money that this is boeings fault.
Exactly. Like BASIC.
Well, the plane might be at an insane angle, so then you need an insane trim setting to correct it :)

I'm never clear on why I'm supposed to be upset about model legislation. It seems like that's how the process should work: interest groups should, in addition to making valence appeals for their particular interests, also take the time to draft specific proposals. Moreover, especially on technical matters, it seems likely that private-sourced model legislation would be a superior starting point than whatever leg' staff would come up with themselves.

Rather than getting all swoony about ALEC, wouldn't it make more sense just to fund more countervailing model legislation? Wouldn't that move the policy debate out of the arena of subjective feels and further into the realm of nuts-and-bolts decisions? Isn't that strictly more transparent than what happens now in bills that aren't based in any way on models?

Or, put it this way: in my lifetime I'm almost certainly going to have no chance of having a hand in any legislation drafted by the staff of any legislator. But I could reasonably hope to spend time getting involved with an organization that drafted and then promoted (cough lobbied for gasp) those bills. Doesn't model legislation ultimately democratize the process?

And, sure, it sucks that the "Asbestos Transparency Act" protects companies that might have asbestos liabilities. But it's not as if legislators can reasonably sign bills based solely on their titles, or that we as citizens don't have an obligation to read proposals when they're published. Or, for that matter, as if the laws that legislators themselves draft don't have egregiously misleading titles.

(Just for what it's worth, there's a progressive alternative to ALEC, SIX: https://stateinnovation.org/).
Why? How? This would have to be a Federal program, and it doesn't fall under their purview to provide such a program. The States are all independent in this regard. For example, even though we all have Driver's Licenses, the 50 states have merely agreed to honor other DLs from other states.

I'd argue that use of clever or advanced patterns in BASIC actually renders the code rather opaque. I.e. compare coroutine usage between BASIC and ruby (if you're even able to get it working in BASIC).
Something this reminded me of: in the tutorial it is mentioned to check the project README for possible emails to send patches to, but darcs had a nice config option (pref) [1] to suggest a repository's default TO email address when `darcs send` sending an email patch. It's a small papercut in the `git send-email` workflow, but providing an automated way for a git repo to suggest its patch email list would simplify the workflow and maybe encourage more users to try it.

It's not tied to, it is implemented in it. I could swap out the rendering code for Vulkan, an no Lobster users would need to change anything.

Also, have you actually programmed in Vulkan? Even a simple primitive can be hundreds of lines of setup code. In Lobster they're often a single line. A direct mapping would not make sense.
Online dating: when limiting the technology is actually a good thing
I’ve observed a hard-to-overcome—-approaching mutual exclusivity—-set of trade-offs that exist between what I’ll call capability innovation and distribution innovation. Musk is a capability innovator first—-he designs things that are better than what we have—-and a distribution innovator second. Tesla is now dealing with a distribution innovation—-which is about how to get
the newly improved thing out to as many people as want it—-problem, which is what our investor community focuses on most. But Musk keeps thinking first about how to make a better, faster, cheaper, more eco-friendly car, and second about how to get them produced at scale for as many people as want them.

I am so tired of distribution innovation thinkers calling for the firing of capability innovation CEOs.

Seems to me that distribution innovation has dominated the discussion of business for the last 100 years, and this leads to everyone eating shitty Big Macs and corporate scum who use obsolescence as a profit tactic. That’s Big 3. I say let Tesla stay focused on Capability Innovation and let the market wait. We’ll have self-driving cars for free in no time.

Better still, let’s treat capability innovation and distribution innovation as separate businesses, and let’s support Musk in driving the first while hiring someone else to do the second, with the assumption that Musk will soon build a better product built into the whole cycle.

Most universities have Bloomberg terminals so you could use them if that is what you were looking for.

I think the real question here is what would generate more value.

I used to work at a company similar to Bloomberg and I can tell you that an individual user who would purchase the terminal subscription is most likely sophisticated enough to be using it at a high level (options, futures, swaps etc..), has a high tolerance for risk and wouldn't mind burning a load of cash "experimenting"

Before we make a technology choice, we should be clear what those choices are. SQL is a query language and DynamoDB is a database. "NoSQL" technologies can be fronted with SQL interfaces. Relational databases can vary a lot too in their ACID compliance ("I" being the component with maximum variance).

The choice of technology should first be based on the problem and not whether it is serverless. Choosing DynamoDB when your application demands strict serializability would be totally wrong. I hope more people think about the semantic specifications of their applications (especially under concurrency).
In my opinion the pilots here have attempted to follow that checklist as well as could be expected (bearing in mind that their lives depended on it). Having to trim to neutral before disengaging the trim would have contradicted the normal trim runaway checklist.

We're now talking about pilots having to have abnormal levels of skill and possibly even strength to fly this aircraft.

That's an untenable state of affairs. Boeing have really screwed this one up.

I recommend against deleting unpopular comments. Editing in something like "Update: I disavow!" if you've changed your mind is harmless, but in general there's a benefit to treating public statements as a sort of permanent record.

This practice exposes people to potentially underappreciated viewpoints and allows others to track the development and popularity of ideas.

I have many poorly rated comments preserved here, but on balance I think people respect my personal commitment to the truth, however I see it. In the realm of public expression, it's honesty and integrity which matter most. Everybody is wrong sometimes; it's part of the process of discovering truth.
I have a Mini-ITX board, I noticed that if I activate XMP, the board will cease to work, but it works with 4 GiB of RAM at standard frequency.

So it seems memory is a general problem among Mini-ITX boards? Perhaps the reason is that these boards have less available space for routing, fewer layers, and targets a lower price, so they trend to have worse electrical characteristics?
Great article - I'm kind of at a crossroads myself. I'm very productive with Rails and can scale it probably well beyond anything I'd ever need and can move away the big chunks to microservices later.

But there's also Elixir which can do away with most of these concerns.

So what do I do? Go with Rails to ship stuff? Or struggle a little bit more with Elixir to get that much more legroom?
I managed complex datasets of a few TB with standard Unix tools just fine. If you are lucky, you have a sustained read and processing speed of 200M/s (or more with, if you are put in some work), which allows you to sift through a TB in a good hour.

I think that what you describe would be great if it was all done out in the open. What ALEC (and similar organizations on both sides of the aisle) have done is basically "White Label" legislation favorable to their backers and then distribute it across the country.

I suspect that the people of the dozens of states taking up these laws that are extremely favorable to some bad actors would like to know where the laws came from. States and Federal bodies are fighting FOIAs all over the country to hide the origins of some questionable laws which gives the premise a very unseemly feel.
All 737s have a nose-up pitch moment from the thrust of the engines because they're hanging under the wings. The engines of the MAX are more powerful, and positioned differently resulting in a stronger nose-up moment.

The elevator is not enough to overcome the nose-up pitching moment of the MAX under certain conditions, but the trim is.

> I find the bias, when it exists, is in the presentation, not the facts themselves.

You mean something like a lie by omission? That is pretty easily solved with some form of source control and public pull requests. An equivalent to git blame would be pretty helpful (cue Sinclair Broadcast Group NPC script reading). Just watch http://newsdiffs.org/ for a while, these people regularly modify stories without editor's notes. It is kind of funny that further below you discuss the embarrassing conduct of the media in their coverage of Covington Catholic... do you remember what was in the news cycle right before they breathlessly pounced on a non-story? The media was getting embarrassed by a very rare direct denial from the DoJ in relation to their latest reporting on the Trump collusion conspiracy theory.

I agree with your broader point though: this won't improve the media. They're not even pretending to be unbiased and have no shame in telling laughably obvious lies about the most ridiculous thing - like koi ponds. Their motivation is clear: short sighted servicing of those needing confirmation bias conforming stories. This isn't a scheme hatched in a smoke filled back room, it is just a very foolish business plan.

I do a lot of interviewing at a big company. It's easy to detect when people are cramming technologies on their resume, and it's a moderate negative signal. They aren't thinking of the customer, or of the problem; they're thinking about the tech. That gets in the way of good design and is a red flag, in my book. I'm not at all alone in this, so I'm not sure it's as clear as you make it out to be.
