> Doesn’t matter if you actually harmed someone.

> What matters now is whether someone feels you as doing harm

Can you briefly explain what you believe the differences between those statements are, as I can very easily imagine a position where I would say that those are arguably the same.
>And seriously who on earth cares about acceleration beyond a certain point.

Being able to launch the car and be going highway speed nearly instantly is really useful whenever you have to merge in a short distance or take a right turn into high speed traffic. You can get by with an under-powered vehicle just fine in most of the country but if you're commuting in/out of a east coast city between DC and Boston it's going to come in really handy (possibly daily if your commute includes a really bad merge). Just last night some dude in a Maserati cut me off taking a right onto a two lane road where I was going ~70mph in the right lane. Had he been driving anything else I would have had to brake but he mashed the skinny pedal and I didn't have to do anything. If I had to take that turn every day I'd want something fast too. Sure it's a luxury feature but damn does it make things less stressful when you're in that situation.
Project management sprinkled with productivity and a dash of self-improvement
I'm pretty sure I was given peanuts as the only snack on my last flight in December (iirc not EasyJet). Not saying this is in any way a bad idea, but I'm really wondering if this will be more widespread in the future or if half of the airlines will go out of their way and half of them will do the exact opposite.
Are you implying that hand sanitizer is the cause of the rise of food allergies?

I'm sure China thinks of their censorship as education too. Whether Mozilla is big or small changes nothing. Censorship is censorship.
It’s not the same as say selling Microsoft Office, where the sales are stable. It’s not stable and will taper off if they don’t act on it, they also only have one game. So they got lucky and it’s fragile success, it can change at anytime, they know this and since they’ve been around since 1991 and have come close to shutting down many times since then. EA would be more what you’re thinking, where they have more diverse income from many titles and studios, one game failing won’t cause EA to shutdown, but that’s not what’s happening here. I can understand the righteous feelings, but it needs to be coupled with an accurate understanding of the problem to find a solution.
Avoiding a food court is relatively easy. There are other ways to acquire and consume food.

Avoiding airplanes pretty much means you never travel longer than a thousand km or so. That's a fairly big restriction.

(also, "a whiff of cracked chocolate" is perhaps not as much of a problem as "someone sitting next to you and chewing nuts, and accidentally throwing some of them in your face if there's some turbulence")
Biggest DevRel Challenges (and how to mitigate them)
The issue with treating college like a normal good is that there are positive externalities. So the customer (the student who is paying) doesn't capture all the good that is provided. There's value in having an educated populace and in inculcating common values. That value accrues to society as well as the student.

That means that we can't compare paying for college to paying for a normal good, say a car. If there was a way for drivers to give a car poor ratings and that affected the car company negatively, that's great! The market works. But college is about more than just skills transfer, and that's why having student feedback is important but can't trump other considerations. That's also why most universities have some state aid (either direct in terms of cash from the treasury, or indirect in terms of being a non profit).

I don't know how to solve this, though.
This is what a liberal arts college is.
The author makes the point that a standard is required.

I've heard of various implementations like kramdown and redcarpet behaving differently, so it seems that that is the case.
Coding is largely a ruminative effort. The process itself is difficult to transfer directly, it's mostly mapped through communication.

Encourage their effort and guide them on their own learning path.

Learning is a two way street. For every concept that is new to them that they bring to you, discuss it with them and find something new for you to learn.

Teaching is one of the best ways to learn.

I disagree —

Scientific knowledge is highly reliable when ingested via modalities like engineering; generally speaking, planes fly and bridges stand and computers do their thing. Cool.

But what about, say, psychology. Or sociology. Or economics.

I have to seriously question the notion that these fields are actually more advanced than the evolved effective theories found in religion, given their general proclivity to support what’s politically fashionable and the frequency with which their theories fail.

I think that’s what a lot of people mean, when contrasting science and religion: that the faux rigor of psychology is worse than the effective theories evolved over thousands of years, and unsuitable replacements with which to make choices about society.

Of course, given the number of scientists who have tried to insist that Copenhagen interpretation is proven science and I need to stop questioning them suggests that even particle physics has fashions and dogmas.
Simplify Your Life with These Timeless Principles
This is already happening with people driving.

Pay attention to other drivers, I've seen people watch a movie on their phone while driving.

I've seen people move their hands completely off of the wheel and drive.

At least with this you usually don't go hitting other cars, rather hit barriers and walls.

Agreed. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Revolut. Their app is excellent and I have been using it almost exclusively for the past 6 months.
I have never had an issue contacting customer support (I do pay)...and it makes me smile how I can have crypto alongside fiat currency.
I would say about 20% of my contact list also use Revolut and I have only heard positive experiences from them.
Evidence of claims?
I'm more concerned with plaintext passwords because most people use the same passwords over and over, so if you can break one system, you can break others.
If only it was so clean cut. Tesla isn't even operating in all 50 states due to specific laws in 1/2 which prohibit direct sales. This is part of the reason for switching to service centers and transitioning sales completely to app based purchasing.

Tesla is driving the biggest wedge of change through the world economy in the 21st century. The impact these changes have will affect everyone who uses, sells, services and advertises automobiles. It's no wonder the amount of outright vitriol the press propagates given the lack of advertising Tesla does.
IIRC, there was an article on HN a few months back about how she's given away tons and tons of money, more than anyone into her family. She seemed to be a good person in her interview, but I can't find the link.
there is a line of reasoning, rarely articulated, that EVs will never reach the price points it would take to fully 100% replace ICE cars in the private/personal market.

li-ion batteries have done an excellent job walking down the learning/cost curve, but we can all see the way it bends and how much headroom is left in the chemistry. we'll likely hit $100/kwh in the next few years, but even just $80/kwh is likely 5+ years away after that. the model 3 will never start with a $2.

so if you're going to bottom out at around 3x the price it would take to fully replace the existing market... then you have to figure out a way to get 3x+ the value out of the asset you're delivering.

that means some combination of lasting 3x longer (~500k miles) and/or being in use 3x more (~600hrs/year). the former is viably unlocked by the EV engineering advantages, but w/r/t the latter, individual drivers have no intention of tripling their car usage. so it simply has to be turned into some kind of shared asset.

imho self driving makes this a nirvanna, so I'm glad they're pursuing it, but its not actually required. tesla could add a basic uber/lyft feature set to their existing app and then when the last 0.01% of self driving winds up taking years longer than elon said it would he can blame the regulators and just make it a regular human-driver ride sharing app.

remember the mission is the end of carbon emissions, so any plan for "lets just get good market share and margins in the luxury segment" is a plan to fail.

How to prepare your data for your Machine Learning model
Huh? What you're saying is simply wrong.

Sure, the immune system is at fault, but it’s the inflammation that causes the damage. Since we don’t have great tools to tweak the immune system, if we prevent inflammation, we can stop the disease.
The relational model isn't arbitrarily hierarchical. We can place a map inside a map, or a map inside a vector, and keep going indefinitely until we run out of memory. Conversely, in a relational database we can't place a database into a table, or a table into a row.

It's true that we can represent relations using collections. In Clojure we'd write:

(def a
#{{:a/id 1, :a/name "a1"}
{:a/id 2, :a/name "a2"}}

(def b
#{{:b/id 1, :b/name "b1", :a/id 2}}

But these structures don't allow for efficient lookup or joins, and we lack inbuilt functions to easily deal with data modelled in this way.

Relational databases are based on relational algebra. If Clojure is based on relational databases, then we'd expect to be able to do relational algebra easily in Clojure. But we can't: the core library isn't designed for it, and the built-in data structures aren't designed for it.
Your premise is flawed. Unless it's a direct incitement to violence, speech does not cause harm.

Programming involves more thinking than typing. If you’re hunting and pecking, your speed will be limited by your typing speed. But there are shades of grey between that and full-on touch typing, where you’ll still be largely limited by your thoughts.

If you know the general location of every key on the keyboard with near muscle memory and just have to look down to make sure you’re actually hitting the right one, there are still some gains from touch typing properly, but returns are diminishing.

As for ergonomics: with small hands, I personally find actual touch typing requires a lot of reaching and stretching and causes me more RSI than moving my hands more freely around the keyboard does. YMMV.

That said, using 6 fingers instead of 10 is probably slowing you down somewhat. You may find it useful to take a touch typing course, which will train you to use all fingers even if you don’t end up actually touch typing.
This reminds me of the early days of .NET when COM objects could be used with a shim that allowed .NET applications to consume existing COM components... but the lifecycle and memory management of those objects were beyond the ability of .NET to control and an error in the COM object could still crash your .NET app even though the loading and unloading of the COM component was wrapped in a try/catch... such frightful memories! I'm curious how the GC/exception handling story will be different by going through WASM to MSIL as opposed to the days prior to framework 2.0 and COM components.
What is it about peanuts that you require them on your flights even if it could hurt people on that flight?
some guy told me to learn assembly. most valuable tip ever :d. on a more serious note, for me personally, programming is 'easy' to learn as long as you have an interesting project to work on. none of my 'mentors' ever sparked that interest in me as they always gave very generic excersizes or projects to practice in. It's a good idea to try and find what this person has an interest towards in programming, even if they might not know it themselves yet. creating that initial spark will drive them to learn more eagerly / efficiently. Like learning anything, if you enjoy it / have a good motivation, in any case it will go better.
Well there's the hygiene hypothesis, but then again, it's a hypothesis
I didn't. I got this update too. It didn't start entirely behaving differently - it was handling the outside world a little differently and was fixed within a couple of days.

I'm not defending tesla here, I'm just saying this tech is still far better than the average driver paying barely any attention to the road.

The idea that some people are extraordinarily sensitive to peanuts, to the degree that they can't be in the same room as someone eating a Snickers bar, is bunk. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology states[0]:

> There is no evidence to support peanut vapor as a cause of reactions or that peanut dust itself circulates and causes reactions.

I am a little surprised to see such uncritical propagation of this myth on HN.

Censorship is censorship, education is education. If China thinks of its censorship as education, it's mistaken.
You should (look back). Mapping it to Ctrl is a much more sensible choice. Can’t imagine using backspace instead of Ctrl-h, or Ctrl-A/E to go to the beginning/end of line, or Ctrl-W to delete back one word etc. Of course, Ctrl-[ is also right under your finger tips with Caps Lock mapped to Ctrl.

Well, if you are disappointed in the comments here on HN then don't read the comments on the article on the BBC site!

I think you underestimate how many companies do chip design. That part of it is actually quite unremarkable.

And while that transitional Nvidia hardware obviously isn't ideal, it's still necessary to run Autopilot today. And it is what is allowing Tesla to gather mountains of real world training data for its machine learning algorithms.

I'm not confident Tesla will pull off their vision of a driverless taxi business, but if they do pull it off, the business fundamentals promise astronomical revenues. Nobody questions that Uber and Lyft are viable businesses. Tesla's plan is to be in their space but with cheaper fuel, cheaper labor and a greater revenue share.
This isn't a software company. Tesla is a car company with only ~15% gross margin.

It wasn't ONLY Tesla that lost a bunch of sales last quarter. Across the board, Toyota, Ford, GM, and more have been closing factories and preparing for an incoming slowdown in sales. Car sales are well known to be cyclic: people only buy new cars when they need a car... and we're entering the cycle where most people don't need a new car.

A ~70,000 cars delivered quarter (like Q1 2019) results in a loss of $700,000,000. Tesla can only do this maybe 4 or 5 more times before they completely run out of cash (depending on how many capital raises / additional debt they take on. They currently only have $2.2 Billion, so their cash-burn currently extrapolates to a little over ~3 quarters !!).

And general economic conditions make it look like things are getting worse, not better, for Tesla and the general car industry.

> My point was that with Palo Alto Networks they have zero quarters of profit over 25+ quarters.

When you're spending $1 Billion/year on sales/marketing, and losing $100 Million/year, you have a sustainable business.

Palo Alto Networks is profitable as long as they drop their marketing expenses just slightly (~10% less marketing). I'm willing to give Palo Alto Executives the benefit of the doubt: that their marketing costs are worth the debt. Its also not a very big loss: Palo Alto Networks can sustain this net-loss for another 10+ years (Cash on Hand is ~1 Billion, and they are losing only ~100 million/year)

Tesla on the other hand has... like 7 quarters... at the current burn rate. And unlike Palo Alto Networks, there's no easy solution in their financial sheets: Tesla's financial statements look relatively lean, no fat in there and yet they are unable to consistently make a profit.
Actually discussing things that are wrong is just as important as discussing things that are right. Going through what's wrong is one of the ways to get to the what's right.

"It must be worth exploring" is the dangerous authoritarian ideology that is the basis of censorship. It's why free speech is a right. Not the "right to explore those worth exploring".

"What is worth exploring" is entirely subjective.

If we applied your logic, then things like LGBT rights, civil rights, physics, biology, etc are all left to the whims of authority. If people truly thought like you, then heliocentrism wouldn't have been explored because "it wasn't worth exploring" 500 years ago. Actually, it was blasphemy.

You do realize that "everything worth exploring" was pretty much banned, taboo or attacked throughout history? It's why the founders enshrined free speech into the constitution.

Things that are wrong are just as important to discuss as things that are right. It's part of the learning process and part of progress.
No, that's not at all what I was referring to. Please see my response for some examples.
Interestingly, I learned to program in a completely different way. When I started in 1979, the computer terminal where I learned could only run BASIC. There were no directories, just BASIC. We had one book that could teach you most of the commands, IF--THEN GOTO, SET, PRINT, FOR, NEXT, GOSUB. There was no WHILE statement. I think I spent months playing with those before learning about arrays. The biggest breakthrough was finding a Star Trek game in BASIC. I was amazed at what could be done with such simple commands. After a year or two, my father bought a TI 99 4A computer and I got a Commodore 64 about a year after that. You could write assembly code on the C64. I learned about ASCII file input and output in 1982. I don't remember learning about directories until I got to college in 1983. I don't think I used any libraries before 1986. (I did use punch cards in 1982). I think the first time I saw UNIX was 1990. I don't think I saw a package manager before the 1990's after I had been programming for over 10 years. The first time I did object oriented programming was about 1994 I think, C++. I got an MSCS in 1996.

The Jungle of Koalas, Pandas, Optimus and Spark
Understanding that current is a convention because it doesn’t matter if you have positive or negative charge carriers in many applications is not wrong in any way. Given the nature of electric charge (not to mention specific applications like semiconductors) even if you align the direction of conventional current and flow of electrons, it will still be a convention. That’s the cost of having an abstraction for net change in electric charge (which is a useful and insightful abstraction). Don’t believe schools are teaching anything different than this.
That's not what he said at all. From the paper linked above:

https://sites.duke.edu/evancharney/files/2014/09/Liberal-bia...

Statement 1 of the "open to experience" section of a popular personality test is the following:

>1. I believe that we should look to our religious authorities for decisions on moral issues. (Agree: Openness score goes down)

He claimed this introduced a political bias, stating:

>Statement 1 reflects a liberal ideological bias against religion. Is reliance upon scientific authorities, for example, close-minded? Granted, the question concerns moral decisions (so let us assume that science cannot resolve questions of right and wrong). Why, then, is reliance upon religious authorities as opposed, for example, to philosophical or ethical authorities or, simply, moral experts, singled out as an instance of close-mindedness? Academics often rely upon authorities when making decisions on moral issues (e.g., the authority of John Rawls when considering matters of distributive justice), although they would likely be uncomfortable characterizing this as reliance upon an authority (even if it is)
