Its a very unethical approach. And if you're caught, it'll destroy people's trust in you (and thats something that's hard to gain back).

If you really want a job there, I'd say try to get in touch with the hiring manager or someone who's on the team. Usually it's HR acting as a gatekeeper without understanding the nuances of what makes a good candidate good.

Reach out to folks either through your personal network if you have a connection, or via LinkedIn.
8000' is pretty comfortable from an air pressure perspective. In practice, I'll do 9,500' or so for longer durations in an unpressurized plane in the daytime. Lower at night unpressurized. Wonder if the event was at night.

Flying (as pilot), you require supplemental O2 if you are over 12,500' pressure for 30 min, 14,000 it is a must. Seeing them set the internal pressure to half of the 'you must wear a mask' levels makes sense.

I agree completely.

Perhaps it could be argued that the Roman Empire was simply ahead of their time, but we went from engineering marvels (of their time) such as the Roman aqueducts [1], the Pantheon [2], or the Colosseum [3], which held 50-80k spectators in 72AD, to very little of note for 100s of years following.

What I find intriguing is that the Roman Empire even 'discovered' steam power in the first century [4]. Unfortunately, they seemed to have only saw it as a toy, rather than realizing its full potential. It's fascinating to me to think about how far ahead we could be had the Roman Empire not fallen.

No it's people who are invested in Tesla being concerned about Musk's mental health and his ability to run his business. In particular because that wasn't his only scandal.

Have you shopped for a car lately?

What you get for your money:

20k-40k: Plastic

40k-75k: Plastic painted to look like metal and wood veneers

75k+: Maybe metal and real wood

This refers to everything you touch and see in and outside the car.

US manufactures aren’t in the 75K+ market for sedans, US mfgs only know plastic.

For the Germans, you need to be in flagship cars to get away from metalized plastic (A7/A8, S-class, 7-series). Porsche is a safe bet for real materials.

Tesla replaced everything inside the car with a giant, great looking screen. 90% of the “value engineering” by which existing car makers use to differentiate between their Low and high end cars... Tesla just got rid of it. Tesla has no intention on playing in the “value engineering” traditional mfgs have been doing for decades (it was the only innovation game left to play).

Tesla instead is competing with tech and features they can literally upload to your car overnight. There is no comparison to traditional autos.

Tesla is an iPhone moment for car industry (if they can manage to deliver the quality and experience they promise without going out of business).
> You wouldn't call a hurricane or a fire evil.

No, but you would call it evil if someone repeatedly built rickety buildings in a hurricane zone or built structures out of dry wood and paper next to a forest at high risk for a forest fire, and then acted like they had no responsibility when the buildings repeatedly got destroyed by fires and hurricanes and people's personal property got lost forever or looted in the resulting disorder.
You can option up a Tesla Model S in the US to $150k.
Veritas does a full sequence for $999 and had a sale late last year for $200. I think Dante Labs will do it for $599.

This is the whole thing, raw data included. Not 23andme crap.

Edit: Dante seems to be doing the basic 30x full sequence for $229 at the moment.
A fully-loaded S in the U.S. is $131k so $150k could possibly even be a little low to include Finnish VAT.
How much would their cars cost if they actually made a profit?

This is called “vendoring” your dependencies (taking a snapshot into your SCM), and has been common practice for about 30 years. Long before NPM and other language-specific package managers.

I'm an Amazon consultant and I wasn't aware that super urls were black hat until recently. Even today, "gurus" or big Amazon software companies promote urls and launch services.

I think Amazon usually catches on and starts suspending sellers after 6 months to a year after an exploit is discovered but that is a really long time. Even then a lot of these issues are probably small beans compared to the major abuse I see on their platform from Chinese sellers. I can't imagine what kind of counterfeit problems they might have but they have been making changes so I'm sure they'll figure it out within the next year or two. Changes like more seller suspensions for manipulating sales rank, TOS updates, requiring photo ID for new sellers, vendor central updates, and more.

In the long run, it won't matter what third party sellers do because Amz will probably sell directly themselves the 20% of the catalog that makes 80% of their sales whether through their own secret private label brands or their vendor program.

From a purely technical perspective, the bespoke equipment needed to buffer and search through the traffic flow of a single 100Gbps transatlantic DWDM circuit (of which there might be 40 or 80 possible circuits in a single cable, from Porthcurnow to NY/NJ) would be incredibly complicated and costly. Just the amount of RAM you would need is nuts.

Or to do the same as a passive intercept on a 100Gbps PNI between two ISPs at Telehouse Docklands.
Do you have any other sources you can post? In particular, the article mentions how the OCME claimed they had done studies on the reliability of this DNA technique, but in fact hadn't.

Has anyone written about privacy implications of data lakes and data warehouses? The Extract in ETL is usually supposed to filter out private data, but if instead all of the raw native data is dumped into a data lake, what ensures that data is handled with the same care as the individual systems that normally handle the data? What stops some random business analyst from running individual or aggregated queries that would be contractually or legally forbidden?
I do agree that 'don't interact with the modern world' seems like a ridiculous solution.

Personally, I think GDPR was a reasonable first step down the path of regulation. I would personally like to see a regulation in the US that forced companies to offer data reselling as an add-on to a base package. As a programmer in 2019, I think it's a bit hypocritical of me to opt-in to the industry that is responsible for the situation we are in while saying 'regulation is the solution here'.

But it's important to note that we've moved from a legal to a moral question. Legally, I believe the government is currently in the right. Morally, the situation sucks and we should change it.

Have you seen this thread [0] that's supposedly about their backend? Doesn't sound like years ahead, it sounds like an overstretched software startup chasing the latest silicon valley trends. How well will their cars work in 20 years? Will they have sorted out the service issues in five years?

Besides, when the other car manufacturers starts putting out electric cars with interiors that consists of more than a cost saving touch screen, their manufacturing and service experience will be a great benefit. Granted Tesla is pretty much the only option in their segment at the time, and have been for years. So why are they making such a big loss now, before the competition has really started?

I think Tesla was great for the car industry, and they do some things really well, but they've also made some questionable decisions. I still think betting on autonomous driving is a strange decision for a small company that have plenty of other stuff to focus on. The cars would still sell without it, let subcontractors worry about stuff like that.

The title is an interesting question, and I would recommend "How Everything Became War and the Military Became Everything: Tales from the Pentagon" by Rosa Brooks to dig into this question more.

The basic premise is that our simple "war vs. peacetime" framework no longer works.

Is cyberwarfare war? Maybe, maybe not.

What about one-off drone killings? The US definitely doesn't consider that war. But when you're at peace, killing someone like that is totally not OK.

What about US military involvement in building infrastructure in developing nations? Probably depends on which country it is, and what "infrastructure" means.

I just never really thought about this question much before, and I thought it was a thought-provoking read (spoiler: no answers provided) if you haven't thought about it either.
Surprised it took this long.

Whenever I've been working in Nim, going back to other languages is always - codewise - a letdown.
Alas, I often must go back, almost always for the same reason: The lack of libraries (and || or) attendant documentation. One doesn't always have the time, inclination, or ability to work everything up from scratch.

Otherwise, it's such an overwhelmingly pleasing toolset to work with. Clean code, ultrafast compilation producing rocksolid executables as small and tight as you care to make them. Joy all around.

Not sure what you mean here. Do you mean things like le forfait hospitalier ? Which is like 20 bucks a day you're in the hospital (if your complementary insurance doesn't reimburse you). Usually you're at 80-90% coinsurance when you go to the hospital in the US with a top-tier insurance (which is going to run you ~1000-10000$ a day). Your source is also a 2003 document, which predates a lot of the current health crisis in the US.

You're cherry-picking here: Germany is pretty well known to have lower wealth because of a prevalence of renting.

Tesla is one way to reduce carbon emissions from automobiles. It is not the only way. There is also:

* Battery-electric vehicles manufactured by other companies

* Plugin hybrid-electric vehicles manufactured by other companies

* Reducing automobile usage in general

* Developing energy-efficient processes to synthesize carbon-neutral liquid fuels using carbon-neutral energy sources

* Developing new and more efficient carbon-neutral energy sources and using them to synthesize carbon-neutral liquid fuels

* Developing the technology to trap or sequester carbon emissions

* Some combination of the above

Sounds cool, but then I'd have to use Spark...
What I don't like about these ACID storage layers is they reduce compatibility between different query engine. For example, Spark cannot read Hive ACID tables natively and Hive cannot read Spark Delta tables either. Then there's other tools such as Presto or Drill which can read neither.

When you use an ACID storage layer, you're kinda locked into one solution for both ETL and query, which is not nice.
I think bash is fine as a shell and I understand why the syntax is the way it is, I'd just never use it for anything beyond a one liner or a list of commands. All my points were about its weaknesses for scripting, ie, anything that looks and acts like a program. There's basically no reason to use it that way when there are a million better programming languages that are ubiquitous and relatively small.

I think it's unlikely they'll be acquired. Tesla has about $9B in debt, had never been profitable on an annual basis, and most other automakers are plowing forward with their own EVs.

I don't see much upside in acquiring Tesla. I expect chapter 7 bankruptcy (liquidation), or chapter 11 if Elon can pull the ripcord soon to have some money available to weather the restructuring.
While I rarely highlight or take notes. I'd be interested in seeing other people's highlights and notes. Is that something you guys would consider putting on your roadmap - sort of a social aspect to your currently utilitarian product?

> Tesla is [...] innovating faster

This is the point that so many people miss when arguing that an EV revolution is coming and others will catch Tesla. It's not that Tesla's lead is insurmountable; it's that Tesla's lead is growing, not shrinking, with each passing day.

No single feature or technology tells this story adequately but the compound effect of all of them does: it's 2019, and not a single manufacturer can produce a car that rivals a 2012 Model S.
That works if you have a low data rate, last ditch omnidirectional antenna fall back. Otherwise for deep space satellites you've got to run quite a bit of stuff to get and perhaps keep the antenna pointed at a transmitter, which for a satellite includes station keeping functionality.

My family history, for example, have always seemed weird in that regard. Genealogy up until 11-12th century is pretty straightforward and documented, with notable rabbis and doctors, but then it jumps straight to legends and familiar family names from antiquity, without any information from Dark Ages straight out missing from any records. And other old Jewish families I know are very similar: all genealogical information just vanishes for these centuries, even if there are older reliable sources picking up the story from antiquity and beyond.

> Come to think of it, this is also a problem with the Unix philosophy in general, in that it requires trading off performance (user productivity) for flexibility (developer productivity)

“Sure, Unix is a user-friendly operating system. It's just picky with whom it chooses to be friends.”
~ Ken Thompson on Unix

But seriously, I would argue that Unix is "superuser" friendly - very friendly to advanced users who like their power tools, and is only unfriendly to those who want to have a more casual relationship with their computer (which admittedly is probably 98% of users).

I am not really a developer anymore, but any system that expects me to use a mouse over a keyboard makes me feel less productive.
I would be moderately surprised if you could infer ECOG at 150 wpm via EEG. That would be roughly akin to claiming that, because you can infer water flow in an pipeline to Los Angeles from magnetometers welded to the pipe, you can do the same thing using a constellation of geosynchronous satellites.

There's a lot of things happened in between the pipe and outer space. Similarly, there's a lot of things happening between the arachnoid mater and the surface of the skin: innumerable liquid-solid interfaces of varying types being a major class of issues. The electric activity in the arrector pili, the galea, etc. Distance, bone, etc.

I get what you're saying, but there is a measurable quality of life increase over an A to B gas-powered car.

* No oil changes

* Charge at home, wake up every morning to a "full tank" for a lot less than it'd cost to fill up with gas

* No gas station fill-ups

* Autopilot is huge for quality of life on highways and in bumper-to-bumper traffic

* I keep the valet key card in my wallet, but there's no physical key that you need to keep with you. My car key was the last one I really needed, so I no longer carry physical keys

* The car has an API, so you can use it to automate various actions (like to start the HVAC system if the car is at work and it's 4:30pm on a weekday). With my normal schedule, the car is already pre-warmed/cooled any time I get in it

* Built-in dashcam includes side cameras, and sentry mode

* Summon, and (soon) enhanced summon

None of that helps if you're driving a loaner while you're waiting for parts, but it's tough to quantitatively measure the impact of just having things like this. And I've got more faith in Tesla to improve logistics in parts sourcing than traditional automakers becoming more like Tesla.

Yeah, but people have been saying they won't make it for over a decade now. It's tiresome and unproductive.

Meanwhile they've done amazing things that most considered impossible. They went for it despite the difficulty and actually changed an industry. Electric cars were thought of as golf carts! Not so anymore. The idea of covering the country with chargers was a pipe dream. Now it's reality.

Here's hoping Telsa continues doing big things.
Tesla is in debt largely because of their rapid ramp-up with costly investments in design, development, manufacturing and supply chain.

My layperson understanding is Tesla have been in a structurally profitable state for quite some time—but for their investments geared towards scaling up ever further.

The question you need to ask is "if you build a factory, across how many units should the cost of that factory be spread?"
