It takes awhile before people gain the ability to downvote, so an aggregate vote of 1 does not imply a 50% split. There is a bias toward positive vote totals, since people can upvote but not downvote when they join Hacker News. On any thread there are more people who can upvote than downvote.

It would be useful if Hacker News would either make a magnitude number available or the actual up and down votes. A comment that gets 3 upvotes versus 2 downvotes will have the same total as a comment that has 412 upvotes versus 411 downvotes, but clearly one comment was ignored while the other struck a nerve.

Apple can keep all the surveillance footage from all their stores.

Apple can run FaceID on any image they have.

In this instance, Apple must have run FaceID from images from the recordings that show the thefts. It is not necessary that they did this on-site or in real time.

A statement by Apple claims that they do not run facial recognition software in their stores. But the wording was very specific; they did not deny uploading the in-store video to an offsite server to detect faces and identify them. They certainly did it for one person. They could do it for more, limited only by their computing power. And they are a computing hardware company.

Sweeping generalizations do not an argument make.

Source? I'm sure most people would be willing to pay for a service in exchange for some reasonable level of privacy.

The "breaking up Google/Facebook" argument is completely separate from the privacy argument. Strawman much?

Source?

> "No! If they understand how much they were tracked they'd care!", but I don't believe that's the case

Again, source? If you told the average person the amount of information that Facebook and Google have inferred from them, do you seriously think they would not care?

There's no doubt that the data collection practices of Google and Facebook or pathologic. There is nothing stopping them from taking a more privacy-centric approach like Apple does and still make a ton of money.

But people have the mindset that corporations should be exempt from morality and that this is grounds for tossing considerations like privacy out the window. I'm getting the feeling you feel similarly.

Samsung fabs it. Do you mean chip design and tape out NRE?

Tesla spent several years designing their current chip, finishing about 1.5 years ago. They hired a industry guru to help them do it, I’m sure the financial investment was massive. Elon stated somewhat wryly “their entire expense sheet is FSD” which is to say their R&D spending in FSD dwarfs their other R&D spending.

They are also already working on a Gen2 of their just released chip for the last year plus.

For Tesla the hardware design is essential to achieving their goal. If they get FSD in the real world before everyone else, they can print money with the Tesla Network. And they simply can’t get there first using general purpose off the shelf hardware.

It’s a core part of the competitive advantage of the Tesla fleet. The fact that you can slot this new hardware into any AP2.5+ car shipped in the last couple years is an amazing perk of owning a Tesla. No other carmaker comes close to offering this kind of long-term support with software and hardware updates to a late-model-year car.
It's adjusted per PPI, which makes the income consistent across countries. PPI adjusted income is essentially a measure of standard of living.

So the graph uses different definitions of middle class standard of living and conflates the results.

I think this is probably the sticking point for people who don't see the point of this. At least for me, there's no unserved gulf between my phone and a computer. I've had a tablet in the past, but there was really just no use case where the tablet was the top choice over both my phone and computer; I always preferred one of those over the tablet.

I think the fear is that the same restrictions will affect shit-tier apps as well as aeronautic control software. After all, it's not like you can't already say "to work on aeronautic software you must have credential X or Y". So what's the point of restricting the word "engineer" as a whole?

We had a lecturer who tried this with an early tablet computer (c2005) and IIRC, onenote. He got about two or three lines of equations on the screen at once before scrolling it off the top, so there was none of the ability to slow down, comprehend, then quick transcription that moving onto multiple blackboards allowed.

Having the last 10 minutes of progress, or more in special lecture theatres - allowed cross-referencing and observation that is hard to replicate with pre-prepared slides or with a single window of view.
The blog post literally calls out Musk for inaccuracies:

> But while we agree with him on the big picture—that this is a challenge that can only be tackled with supercomputer-class systems—there are a few inaccuracies in Tesla’s Autonomy Day presentation that we need to correct.

Ask yourself why nVidia would feel the need to put out anything given that they and Tesla are no longer collaborators. Do you believe they’d put out a “Cool claims by Tesla” press release if they didn’t feel the need to point out corrections?
> I don't quite understand the bad press that Samsung is getting with this phone.

That the issues appeared so rapidly indicates to me that they didn't even do the basic test of letting some employees use it as their daily driver for a while.

If that's the case, then Samsung should get a lot of bad press about it. It's a failure of even basic testing competence.
You are conflating untraceable and private. You keep saying two things are different without explaining why you think they are fundamentally different.

What do you think about the fact that the US literally has a right to privacy in their constitution?

This is getting ridiculous. These guides to interviewing at specific companies are starting to sound like the video game cheat code books of old.

If the process is so nuanced that there's an entire industry around these types of guides (and Google even highly recommends you buy them!), then the process is fundamentally flawed.

But we already knew that, and as long as others are still playing the game, we are forced to play or miss out.
Land Rover (the brand) do not make anything called a 'Land Rover' anymore, only the Range Rover and [Range Rover] Discovery, so he's sort of not wrong in that the historical (farmers) Land Rover no longer is available at all.

That said, you can probably still buy ex-MOD Defenders, I see a few 2015 and onwards online that are clearly privately owned (repainted, on public roads, etc). And the Defender is the historical Land Rover vehicle kept current.

It should be noted that Land Rover (the vehicle) started off with farmers buying ex-MOD Defenders post WW2, and the company (British Leyland - Rover) deciding to make the defender available as the Land Rover.

Only the state is capable of intergenerational investment? There are a number of long-lived, fiscally successful private organizations that would beg to differ. Not everyone is hyper-focused on short-term yields, and as I see it the average politician is no more likely to take the long view and sacrifice their own present well-being for the benefit of future generations than anyone else.
From The Verge's review:

"All this week, I kept coming back to a thought about how we use our phones. We pull them out to check something quickly, but then, all of a sudden, a half-hour disappears scrolling Instagram or Twitter or whatever. It’s a real problem.

But it’s a problem I didn’t really have with the Galaxy Fold. When I was using the tiny screen, I just wanted to get something done quickly and put it away because the screen was small, and I wasn’t in a place where I wanted to unfold it.

On the flip side, when I was using Galaxy Fold unfolded, I was really using it. I had to hold it in two hands, and it felt much more like using a tablet, an active device I was choosing to use. It requires some small measure of intentionality — more than a phone, anyway.

I found myself using it in meetings, and nobody batted an eye. I was reviewing docs for the meeting, but I could have just as easily been messing around on social media. But think about the social rules of a work meeting: somebody messing around on their phone is a jerk, but somebody using a tablet is more likely to be doing something relevant. The Fold feels like a different device with different social rules, and that’s fascinating."
> can engage in the act of simulating the minds of others. We cannot read other minds — they are like black boxes to us. But, as Lachmann explains, all agents share almost identical “black boxes” with members of their species, and “they are constantly running simulations of what other minds might be doing.”

Maybe it is why it is so much easier to spot mistakes in other people than in yourself. If you are constantly analysing others to empathize.
This isn't true: a C program could read a pointer address from the user, convert it to an int and store it in the two-star pointer, then dereference it (this is essentially what gdb's `x` command does).

All this is essentially a double hashtable lookup (assuming the lexical environment is implemented as a hashtable, but if it's something else, it's similarly trivial):

environment[environment["i"]] = 3

People have been compiling extremely dynamic languages since the Lisps, at the very least; and, assembly itself isn't really a "statically typed" language.

But warranties aren't "get out of jail free" cards that excuse a failure of basic product engineering practices like actual real-world testing.
C4700 is a warning per VC++ docs:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/error-messages/compiler...

So by definition, if it's reported as an error, you're compiling with warnings-as-errors enabled, at least with respect to that one warning.

The default project settings you refer to are Visual Studio defaults (for new projects created from a template), not VC++ defaults. If you invoke cl.exe directly from command line on your code, you'll see C4700 being reported as a warning, but it still produces the binary.

/WX is a switch to treat all warnings as errors, but it's not the only switch that controls warnings-as-errors behavior - you have all the other /W... switches, from level-based approach to setting it for specific warnings. And /sdl is (in addition to all the other things it does) an alias for a bunch of those switches. Indeed, on the very page you linked to, it literally says: "/sdl enables these warnings as errors ... C4700". And you can even override that by doing something like /sdl /wd4700.

You can't manipulate the lexical environment using the standardized language, but sbcl and other lisps provide libraries for programatic manipulation of the lexical environment.

A popular poor decision is still a poor decision. We censure plenty of actions in history that were popular at the time. We should require people in positions of power and influence to be guided by an inner moral compass--not merely whatever is profitable, popular, or personally advantageous.

It's a problem from an LP's POV. There is no reason to invest in a VC fund that returns 2x when you can invest in a Vanguard index fund that returns 2x. You're supposed to get compensated with higher returns for the risk you take investing in VC; if you don't, the managers of that fund are failing at their jobs.
For things like window units and fridges, this will at least allow one of the better drop-in replacements for HFCs to be on the market. The charge size limit of 150g will still prohibit things like central AC units and mini splits, unfortunately.

> This goes against the idea that I should have the freedom to do whatever I want with my post-tax money. What if I decided I want to give my money to a bunch of random strangers on the street? Would you insist "they deserve it as much as anyone else"? It's an essential matter of freedom. Where do you draw the line? Would you say I can't donate too much to X charity, and must donate equally to all registered 501(c)(3) orgs?

You don't have the freedom to do whatever you want with your post-tax money. That's constrained by law. You can't give it to someone else, for instance, in excess of $14K per year you have to pay a gift tax. You can't pass it on to your children without paying an estate tax. You can't open a brokerage account in a foreign country and buy assets there. You can't pay anyone on the OFAC list. The list goes on, and on, and on.

If you gave a stranger on the street <$14K sure. More than $14K prepare to pay the gift tax, which treats it as income. I don't draw the line, you're welcome to spend it anywhere. You just can't give it to your children as an estate.

not sure how Samsung would profit from selling a limited early adopter edition (by reservation) of experimental product?

This isn't a mass consumer product. Samsung had explained that their customers would receive different kind of support and services, which means more cost to Samsung.

I think it's because Samsung is trying to protect the screen. I'm curious to see how the Mate X will perform. I won't be surprised if the screen wrapping around the outside turns out to be really fragile. People are notoriously hard on their phones (especially on the edges) and the Mate X is a phone that has an exposed screen that can't be covered in glass and can't be hidden in a screen case.

Samsung's approach has a better chance of succeeding in the long run simply because it protects the screen, but they clearly need to refine their approach. Without some serious materials wizardry, Huawei's design seems hopelessly flawed. According to this article, uneven pressure may be responsible for breaking the Samsung, think of what could happen with the exposed screen on the Huawei.
