Right to repair isn't just about J. Schmoe in their garage though. You also have to consider other shops that are well qualified to do the repairs.
It doesn't work. Not just a coding issue either, as the code matches their explanation for this "improved" method.
Journalism joins the list of domains that simply don't work as capitalistic institutions, alongside healthcare, education, higher-level academic research, and environmental stewardship.

That doesn't sound like a good question at. It sounds like you're looking for "Java programmers" instead of solid engineers.

When I interviewed for my current job using Java, I had been programming in Ruby and JS for the better part of a decade and had to refresh my Java syntax fairly quickly. I know I made some dumb syntax mistakes in my phone interview, like instantiating collections totally incorrectly. I distinctly remember one of my in-person interviewers saying "well, in Java it's boolean, not bool, but sure...". More semantically, I may very well have messed up mutability of collections and primitive conversions and boxing and such.

Enough of my interviewers saw through all of this that I got the job. Now people on my team come to me and say, "hey you're a java guy right?" and ask me questions about this stuff. I wasn't a java expert when I interviewed, but now I am, because that's what my job required, so I learned it. That's what my interviewers were looking for, to the company's benefit.
There are tens of thousands of those companies out there, they get less attention (on a per company basis) than the billion $ ones for obvious reasons, and occasionally stories about them are posted on HN, where they not infrequently rise to the top.
Isn't that what the legally so called "experts" are for?

Having technology that's too complex for most people to handle hasn't been a new thing for at least a couple centuries.
If you treat the populace as a closed system, and the government as an external actor, then these actions increase total utility by preventing larger losses to the external actor.
I've also been in "professional" shops where the qualification is questionable, but I understand your argument. There are Tesla Certified body shops; we'll see how the workload shakes out between those facilities and Tesla Service centers. Tesla recently updated their service intervals for all vehicle models due to fleet data showing less service was required than previously indicated [1]. How many times have you seen an automaker do that?

Rivian has yet to make a single Truck. It is vaporware until they have more than just numbers.
Not the US or SF. Been to a few converted garages in Sydney AU advertised as “Duplex’s” or “Granny flats”.

Small, dingy, cheaply done so the owner can earn as much money as possible renting it out. Garages are designed mainly as a storage room or just big enough to squeeze an average sized car in, newer builds you would struggle fitting a car in. Fitting a bathroom, bed, kitchen in? Not a nice place to live.
I see that this is now #3 on the homepage with 112 points but no comments yet. Are people already very familiar with this work? Can some expound on its merits?
Yes, I use tramp as well for all those things. The remote Emacs session is more for everything else I do with Emacs, mail, chat, M-x shell sessions, dev sessions in progress with language servers running, maybe a debugger.

I use tty emacsclient plenty too (including from my phone) and I could certainly manage without remote X11 and perhaps even without EXWM (ouch) but not looking forward to the prospect of losing it, in exchange for... what? Smoother window transitions and scrolling? I don't want my windows to transition, I want jump scroll and things to pop in place instantly. I disable that shit even on Android.

So I guess I will stick with X11 as long as I can and reminisce about better days once it's gone.

(Emacs having its own remote display protocol would be a way to tackle the first part and maybe EXWM could be re-implemented for Wayland somehow too but neither of those things exist today)
“Public sector will self report its misdeeds” is almost as good as “market will self regulate.”
I think it's highly task-specific. In network biology for example, taking advantage of the network structure, either through node embeddings or directly, is almost always helpful (even necessary). I'm not as familiar with applications to social networks, or graph DBs.
Seppin is right I don't know for sure but their are some indicators that you can watch. Bond yield curve inverting is one. Although there are some contrarians that are saying this time is different. The other big signal I look at is employment numbers in areas where raw materials are produced and refined. I've not done much reading on it but I've seen it as a leading indicator. Please take everything I saw with a grain of salt I'm not an economist I just try to keep up.
Or it means the process is well defined enough that you can create a level field by telling everyone how it works through guides like this instead of giving connected people a leg up due to inside knowledge of a poorly defined process.
Public sector at least has the pretense of trying to do what's best for society.

The market is a race to the bottom; public entities have their goals stated expressly, and there will always be some idealists who genuinely care about living up to those. Either way it comes down to people just deciding to do the right thing; there's no way around that. But capitalism gives otherwise-good people the excuse to do the wrong thing without feeling bad about it, because it's "just business".

A farmer in the 1st century? They’re likely slaves or serfs, so I’d wager they’re giving 100% of what they make away, and to their master, not to the state. They’d be shocked at how much they would be allowed to keep.

“In 332 AD Emperor Constantine issued legislation that greatly restricted the rights of the coloni and tied them to the land. Some see these laws as the beginning of medieval serfdom in Europe.” [1]

Not everything was better in the past.

Charge times are improved at deep to moderate discharge states. Little improvement (but not necessary for charge times expressed to be realized) at 80-100% SOC (state of charge).

EDIT: @clouddrover You asked "So is the Model S and Model X charge time improvement across the entire charge curve or just sections of it?" I provided a response to that question. Sorry if you thought I was restating what you already said, that was not my intent. Please excuse my exuberance, this is one of my few passions (rapid electrification of transportation).
The big papers post too much fake news. They have little legitimate value. This and not mass copyright infringement or a shift to watching vloggers and specialty social media groups regurgitate the days events is responsible for the decline. Legitimate honest journalism does not exist for the most part. People know when they are being lied to and do not take kindly to being played for fools. No one is going to pay to read Pravda except for laughs. Yes there are some exceptions that do real journalism. Some.
At mine we have an "applied" linear algebra course for engineering students and the "normal" one that math people take.

I didn't pass the "normal" one but I think that's because I had another 300 level math course, capstone, and four other CS courses at the same time. I'm certain I wouldn't have passed the applied one, it looked very tedious and that's usually what gets me with homework.
Here's the 2019 version.

The golden age of advertising started about ten years ago and we are starting to see its decline about now. The golden age of advertising for users that is, not advertisers. For over thirteen years we've enjoyed a web where power users can get their content for free using adblocking while the ignorant casuals supported our internet by looking at ads. I like to think of it as a symbolic repayment for all the time we spend doing free tech support.

That golden time is coming to an end I fear. More and more users are blocking ads, which has driven site operators to use more aggressive and more blocking-resistant advertising. I can see a time coming soon where ads are so intertwined with content it's effectively impossible to block them without crippling your browsing experience.
I always thought one of the big 3 US or German companies were betting on Tesla to fail. Once they failed they’d scoop up their tech at a discount. After the Model S’s success I think they all realized they need to play catch up.

Cities all around the SF Bay Area have been removing their red light cameras. Here in Menlo Park the city just dropped ours. And about time! They were widely hated for mailing people fake tickets for minor infractions that were not a safety hazard at all, like slowly rolling through a right turn with no other traffic in the vicinity.
I'm curious too. As a CS grad student with relatively little database knowledge, would this be a good text to start learning?
Yes. It is generous of you to call it a typo.
Because ad click through rates are so low and the signal is so incredibly sparse. It's all measured against a test set which the researchers rarely look at directly (because the data set is so large). So if something lifts ad vlicks by 1% and that's from 100 in 10k to 101 in 10k, they don't really care if 9k of the ads get appreciably dumber.
I'm totally sympathetic to how stupid these interviews feel.

Syntax is probably something that without fail novices screw up. I saw this in my own subordinates who simply would not see on their own laptops, even with the red squiggle underline, syntax errors in their own code. Also, I'm sure Google has data on its interviewing process and found in some important, measurable way that there's a problem with hires who screwed up the syntax. Correspondingly, none of my decent subordinates ever screwed up syntax once. I think this is the least controversial part of their process because it is dumbfoundingly easy and low cost.

Engineering interviews are overall a mature process and I honestly doubt there's that much innovation in terms of raw skills discovery. TripleByte, for example, doubled its multiple choice question count from 18 to 36, introducing design questions, and now has a brief 45 minute free programming problem. Hardly a huge innovation.

Clearly what's immature is the feedback and communication to candidates that fail. At Google specifically communications problems don't just crop up in threads full of rejects. Bad communications affect people working there, like product managers, admins and designers, who lack the skills they test for despite the tests themselves not obviously corresponding to anything the engineer actually does day-to-day.

It's bad for morale to test for stuff that doesn't matter. That may explain why smart people report the engineering org is not welcoming to people of different backgrounds. The empathy (or savvy) needed to throw out stupid tests is the same kind you need to understand people who don't share the same culture or values as you.

Google doesn't really know that because the company only knows the things it measures. It takes insight too to know what to measure and how things are related, especially when dealing with human beings and not software.
I write a lot of JS (read: TypeScript if I have any say in it) for work so I’m probably a JS guy.

I hate stuff like that. It breaks more than it helps. It overcomplicates trying to dance your way through reasoning what is actually happening. It’s unreliable and I hate it.

You know I actually think that society has changed.

I'm in my early 50's and it seems that everybody I talk to is spending their entire waking life working at something, be it a side business, fitness, training, learning or hobby. We've always had these things, but it seems that in the last 10 to 20 years the feeling of these activities has moved from a relaxed, something done for enjoyment to an almost desperate must excel race.

I don't know why this is, but I for one don't like it or the toll it's taking on peoples mood and health.
I think one can make some money by selling photos to photo stock sites. It's a kind of semi-passive income possible when you shoot landscapes or common objects.

It of course is unlikely to become a primary, or significant, source of income. It also unlikely to affect what you do for fun.
Do we know if that's needed with the new drivetrain?
Oh god there's so many easy reasons why bash is terrible.

* Significant whitespace in surprising ways (a=1 vs a = 1 or spaces following square brackets)

* Word splitting

* No data structures of note, nor any way to create them in any sort of non-hacky way

* No data types, really, for that matter

* Can't really deal with binary data

* Awful error handling

* Weak math

* Weird scoping rules

Honestly as soon as I have to do anything that involves a conditional I abandon bash and use one of the many ubiquitous scripting languages that has great library support for doing all the system stuff you could do from the command line anyway.

Here's a great list of BASH pitfalls: https://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls I can't think of any language other than maybe Perl or C++ that comes close to that
Is there something special about reversing a binary tree?

AFAIK, you could swap the child pointers and do that recursively for the child nodes. You could also do things O(1) by just changing the comparison function, perhaps by wrapping it to negate the comparison.
Of course shops that aren't qualified wouldn't be included in the category of shops that are qualified. That's tautological. Doesn't matter if they are "professional" or just plain old professional.

I don't buy into that anti capitalism argument. It suggests that people aren't aware of the value they receive through newspapers and a consumption based model is therefore not working. I do see a danger in monopolies (or even oligopolies) but that can be prevented by competition regulators. But apart from that it seems people simply don't value traditional newspapers enough to keep so many of them running.
A friend said recently, "people want to be employed without becoming employable". These guides really exemplify this obsession. Sure, Google has a nice salary and good perks and whatever. But after you get the job, you have to do the job. I wonder if the people who read these guides and try to study just the right topics to get a job, whether they actually like programming.

These guides act as optimizations, shortening the path you need to take to get the job, shortening the stuff you need to learn, etc. But in the end, the path is all you get. If you don't like programming and if you don't like learning, then are you really gonna like Google?

I suppose there's people who genuinely like programming who just need a manual to teach them how to play the game. Lord knows I've practiced my fair share of whiteboard problems when I'd rather be reading about compilers. But there's something wrong about having to play a game to get the job.
Come to Shenzhen, you will see, salaries like Tencent, alibaba, can offer are much higher than SV, in the conditions of you should be expertise in some technical area, and good background, like google, facebook, etc working experience.

Are Tesla owners really this sensitive? I mean they do have prototypes out there, it's not like they're making up what the mileage is, they clearly have demoed that it works, it's just about producing the vehicles now.
Yes. This problem is of particular importance in drug response prediction, where small molecules are represented as graphs where the atoms are nodes and the bonds are edges. These are difficult to work with because of the variability in the number of nodes.

He could have done any of those things, but it's not relevant to the story. In this case what 'pre-revenue consumer play' means they were a company focused on showing user growth before generating revenue, and the VC they pitched had more experience e-commerce companies (which usually have some revenue).
I'm guessing they have software that contains a full bill of materials for each vehicle. Boeing does this for every individual plane, and a plane is significantly more complex than a Tesla. I'm sure they are very aware of how many of each parts are out there on the road. I wouldn't be surprised if the vehicles themselves periodically phone home with use information so they can predict wear and tear.
The challenge is that even when clearly marked as opinion, they still accrue to the reputation of the publication. If you look at the Most Read links on WaPo or NYT, the opinion pieces are often more than half.
