Yeah it kinda feels like a pattern.. he made the Truck announcement at the heart of the ramp up struggles. And obviously the Autonomy Day was well placed. Now their fleet + over the air autonomous implementation ~felt like a solid foundation with potential to grow high and large (unlike previous version of AP). Which makes me believe that Musk still manages to steer progress serious into Tesla and is not just creating a russian doll ponzi scheme in a single company.

Funny to think that a company that has been around for much longer can’t compete with Tesla and they would be the ones to “build them properly”.

YMMV, of course, but to me this is a surprising take. I quite like C#, but EF Core is awful (it is literally not possible to create in your schema a non-nullable boolean/integer with a default value of 'true'/not-zero without making the member property of your object nullable) and ASP.NET Core is not fully baked.

Compared to something like Nest.js and TypeScript, or even Kotlin and Spring Boot, I wouldn't call it good, let alone "best".

Whataboutism (also known as whataboutery) is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy...

The term "whataboutery" has been used in Britain and Ireland since the period of the Troubles (conflict) in Northern Ireland.[10][11][12] Lexicographers date the first appearance of the variant whataboutism to the 1990s[1][10] or 1970s...

8% is in the ballpark of AA/NA, IIRC (those organizations claim that they've "never"* seen a person following their steps fail to stay clean/sober, but that's just tautological nonsense), and this is about the same as people who attempt rehab by going to church. To be clear about my biases I'm not religious, I'm not categorically opposed to drugs (see username), but I've also seen addiction wreck lives (including those of family members). It's not obvious to me that everyone who gets clean from AA/NA would also get clean from going to church or a work program like the one in TFA, and the same is true of those other routes. I suspect there are overlapping sets of people who would benefit from these different programs -- I don't know that, but it would be surprising if human psychology was so simple that they were all the same set, or that one was a superset of the other two. I've also known people who went to AA/NA briefly, got clean, and went back to relatively minor drug use without engaging in the sort of self-destructive excesses they had in the past. I bet that some of the dropouts still found improvement in their lives. I have mixed feelings about this article, and I'm not trying to defend Cenikor, but I'm also not trying to attack them, just adding some thoughts that might be relevant.

*IIRC, "never" has been changed to "rarely" in recent editions of the text, but only in the last decade or so.

I won't claim my reasoning is the what's keeping people asking for PayPal, but here is why I prefer to pay via PayPal:

My biggest fear of paying via Stripe is not having the ability to cancel payments on my own or to cut random company access to my credit card without having to talk to my CC company or bank.

PayPal gives me a bit more piece of mind because I know I can log in and find subscriptions and cancel them right from the back end and payments will be stopped. With Stripe, I can't do this. Not to mention Stripe dashboard is a UX nightmare from the consumer perspective. I don't think any consumer would log in to Stripe to manage their payments (assuming they could) as things stand right now. I think this is a missing feature that Stripe has to integrate in order to finally let PayPal die. That and time.

As a consumer, I want to be able to go to Stripe, easily log in, see all of my subscriptions / payments and be able to stop them with a click of a button. As long as this is missing, I would rather use PayPal's shitty UI and hidden subscription management area.
Because then they'd have stakes in two high profile L5 attempts rather than only one. That way, regardless of who wins, they'd still have their part in the inception of the self driving industry.
BMW doesn't need to pay top dollar for a prestigious brand, they already have one. Tesla will be bought out by the likes of Geely or Tata who don't have strong brands of their own, but have already been going around and scooping up smaller car brands like Volvo and Jaguar.
For most, leaving means going to prison.
As a techie I write good, but I always feel woefully inadequate when reading the nuances that real writers consider.
Conflicting reports about car brands .. I see people saying Tesla lack a lot of quality compared to German cars. Some youtube car guys like scotty kilmer are saying german brands quality has gone to the toilet compared to early 90s. Lots of over engineered electronics, a lot more cheap materials for parts (except for the actual traction subsystem).
Another article about tech IPOs pointed out that this year the number of public companies headquartered in San Francisco will double. Apparently there are only four now, and at year's end they expect nine.
There is a lot of software in cars, but cars are not software. Making cars is a lot harder from a business perspective than doing AI. In the end software is just a file that gets loaded into a module - one step in a very long chain.

> Musk specifically shot it down on hubris

This, of course, will ultimately catch up with Musk, just like it did for Jobs.

Elon success relies on the same 'distortion reality' shield that Jobs relied on. It forces his staff to keep trying to achieve his practically impossible demands.

Continued success requires that it keep working over and over while not burning out critical staff and burning through your investor's deep pockets.
The name "license zero" might be a bit too close to the CC0 license. Maybe a rename might be a good idea? It also doesn't describe the license accurately.
The solution is to divide your Data Lake into different zones with access control, so that user can only access what they're allowed to. That said, it's a lot of work to do this properly, so it's often neglected.

Since the fine hasn't been decided by the FTC yet, I am not sure I see the point of declaring a number?

For instance, if the FTC was going to be happy with say a $4bn fine, this tells them that FB is happy to pay $5bn.

The only reason I can think of is that FB is quite sure the fine wouldn't be less than $5bn (maybe FB is asking for significantly higher), and they are trying to price-anchor it. Maybe this is a way of telling FTC that FB will accept something close to $5bn without any lawsuits or other appeals, don't try to negotiate more?
>Last generation got there first so they get houses, this generation got here last so they get studios?

This is a self defeating sentiment. You're not going to drive homeowners out without buying them off. You're not going to serve more people with low density housing. Its just how it is.

With the availability of cheaper high density housing young people can at least start saving. There can still be nice high rise condos but the idea that everyone in LA and SF can have a single story home is just not going to happen.

This is it exactly. I think for Stripe to really succeed in consumer space and not just among techies, they need to have a manageable back end for consumers to log in and be able to stop payments any time and allow for storing of cc info so people are not asked to enter it on a random website.
Can we quit it with posting this quote every time something negative on Facebook comes up. It’s practically a meme now and, quite honestly, it’s getting annoying.
I found that gluten irritated my Crohns.

I recently started Remicade - it reduces the immune system to try to stop the auto-immune problem that is Crohns. It was eye opening what other little aches and pains went away once the immune system was turned down a bit and the inflammation was lowered

Certainly the extra inflammation was causing other problems where the inflammation is the main cause.
My interpretation: Gold jewelry is used as a store of value by many traditional communities in the middle east and also in Pakistan and in India. Go visit Rawalpindi and go to the "old downtown" area and look at how many jewelry stores there are. Literally hundreds. People don't trust banks, don't trust investment products which exist as intangible things in a computer record somewhere. People trust big ridiculous jewelry you can wear during your wedding.

The jewelry dealers in Pakistan who buy gold from the UAE most likely don't care about its origin, whether it's ethically sourced gold, etc. They care about its purity and cost.

I've been to these places and seen the hand fabrication of the jewelry in person. It's a pretty big part of the economy in Pakistan.
I think I finally understand Kafkaesque.
I honestly think there is a giant opportunity in building a network of warehouses with quality inventory API to enable smaller businesses to tap into that delivery network by keeping their inventory closer to the customers and offer 2-3 day shipping. i think saving on FBA fees + Seller fees would balance out shipping/storage fees for those businesses. It looks like some businesses have been created for selling on amazon and are constantly optimizing for amazon while other honest businesses are constantly outperformed by those 'expert' sellers. from my observations more businesses are understanding that being locked into amazon's platform is not a smart investment in long term.
More reason to keep an eye on hsCRP and take steps if it gets too high. (Most labs use <1 mg/L as limit, but small injuries already raise it to 0.4 for me. So 0 to 0.2 is probably desirable.)

Many of the “clients” at these rehab facilities were ordered there by a judge, so while they could technically refuse, the alternative is prison (likely involving more slave labor).
I got mine back without issue shortly after they made them available to order. I wasn't convinced it was for me then but I've changed my mind recently and now i'm looking to buy one again. I had no issue receiving a paper check for the original deposit.

My software FDE does not keep my password in it. There is nothing to extract after stealing. I will happily stipulate though that this requires a solid password and key stretching.

Cashflow and income (aka profit & loss) are different beasts. You can be very profitable and run out of cash and it's possible to be flush with cash yet post a loss.

In the near term, cash is what matters. If you run out of cash, the company is bankrupt.

For a "normal" big company, which is approximately profitable, it's fine to have much less cash-on-hand, because you will have established lines of credit and easy access to the financial markets if you need more. Much more importantly: you have a lot of cash coming through the door, approximately enough to cover cash going out the door. This varies by business: some naturally have very lumpy cashflow (eg mining) and others have very smooth cashflow (eg breweries).

A lot of what CFOs do is manage this cashflow. For corporate health, it needs to be smooth, which means at any given time some cash is being received, some is going out, some is being banked and invested in short-term instruments and some is being borrowed. Some haggling with suppliers and customers about payment dates is also normal, because cash delayed or brought forward is cash made or lost.

On the other hand, if you are not operating profitably, you will need regular infusions of cash to keep operating. You actually need a lot more cash and cash-equivalents on hand than the profitable business does, because it takes you longer to get cash in the first place. A line of credit is more or less instant, short term cash can be arranged in a day and so on. But selling bonds takes time, up to months. Selling shares takes time, up to months. You need cash to cover a cash supply delay that a profitable business doesn't need.

That's Tesla's problem. They have enough cash for a few quarters and it is not replenishing fast enough from sales income or deposits. They will need to raise money and the longer they delay, the more punitive the terms will be.
They (combined non-military intelligence agencies) have a budget of $50 Billion USD per year.

Would that be enough?
I’ve been most bothered by the exaggerated claims and projected deadlines for AP functionality and FSD. But not being able to raise money through presales, as well as banking on the premium image that leading in autonomy confers, would make Tesla even less solid of a company, at least financially.

Tesla basically creating a market for EAV is very cool, and no matter what, I think Musk deserves a place in the history books for it.
True, but it's now no longer possible to remove a package from npm, which kind of solves this module resolution problem.

Show HN: High Schoolers start video series on how to write data structures in C
Hi everyone! We (Christopher and Govind) have started a video tutorial series of 20-25 minute long episodes on how to make various common computer science data structures, such as vectors, linked lists, hashmaps, and so on. So far, we’ve done a two-part series on how to implement vectors.

Links to parts one and two of the Vectors series:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr0KzD_Owxc
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3kgbdhUIxU

(Sorry about the low quality of the video in the first link, we accidentally recorded in 720p. The second part is in 1080p!)

Although so far only one of us has done a video series on a data structure, we plan on taking turns to cover the most common data structures. Our endgame is to use all these data structures we build up to write a simple C compiler in a longer series of videos.

We have some plans to use a partially scripted setup to streamline the explanations of core concepts, and are currently simultaneously working on episodes on linked lists and hashmaps.

Let us know what you guys think!
Don't Press the Red Button
The regulations are worse than the problem though. Thankfully the HUD under this administration has been trying to slow it down.

In my friend's home town, the federal government has deemed it to be "too white", and is trying to build a 500 unit housing complex, and bus in people from 80 miles away to live there.

And to anyone who loves talking about how enlightened they are, ask yourself if YOU would choose to live next to government housing for 500+ low income people. Of course you wouldn't.

If that were true, then wiretaps would be A-OK as long as 1) the phone company willingly plays along; and 2) the tap never physically intrudes upon the subject's property.

SCOTUS ruled explicitly on this question in Katz vs. US -- wiretapping is unconstitutional, regardless of physical intrusion. Just because you route your voice through a switch owned and controlled by a third part does not mean you give up your expectation of privacy.
There's a lot of P&E on the balance sheet. If they liquidate I expect the creditors will look to flog that to the major carmakers.

So dogs are better than humans at detecting drugs because they have a better sense of smell than can penetrate packaging. What does that have to do with technology being better/worse than humans at driving, exactly?

They didn't say dogs were better than technology at solving problems, in any sort of general sense.
They have a budget in the billions.
>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.

Eventually you reach a point where everything is good enough so being better isn't much of an advantage. Like if Tesla gives you 700 mi range but Audi does 500mi, does anyone really care?
It's interesting how staunchly people will defend "standard Western musical notation" but I agree with you - from a design point of view it looks like notation originally designed to match a piano keyboard which has then had many years of extra features inelegantly bolted on to it. It works well enough for the keys of C or Am but gets progressively more ridiculous the further you depart from those keys. And transposition is a mess.

Some people seem to think that standard musical notation is "right" and you can't possibly have any alternative notation and yet this is clearly false. There are at least two or three alternative forms of musical notation in wide use today. Most guitarists use tablature notation because it's better suited to that instrument - standard musical notation is less useful on guitar since it doesn't clearly capture the different ways that a single chord can be played. So it makes sense to have a special notation for that instrument.

Secondly chord charts are used by musicians everywhere because they're very concise at conveying the chord structure of music and often that's all the information you need. Standard notation is just way too much information in that case.

The third, less commonly seen form of musical notation is just like the one you've described. It's seen in video games like SingStar[1] and in modern music composition software such as Ableton Live[2] and others. It's used so often in music composition software because as you've noted it's very intuitive and far less cumbersome than standard musical notation. Transpositions become trivial and everything just makes more sense.

I stand by that I wrote 100%. He is a polarizing figure and that is impacting Brave. The early adopters they need care about this facet of the founder. If you don't recall his financial support of that controversial anti-gay ballot measure in California, you are either being ignorant or dishonest, I'm saying the people they need to adopt Brave care about this, not just me.

Full disclosure: I'm working on an alternative to Brave in the crypto space. But I'm not shilling it here.

But speaking about disclosure. What I find interesting about discussions of Brave are that many people chime in here without specifying their positions. I don't have BAT nor shorts on them. Do you have positions, do you own BAT or have a financial interest in their success?
Your comment makes me realize that by "ideological battle" we mean something a bit broader than battling for a fixed ideological position. It also covers combativeness about ideologically charged topics. If you'd avoid doing that, and post rather out of curiosity and thoughtfulness, we'd be most grateful.

No. It's not always wrong.
I use Byron's rc every day, and it's installable on all machines I use.

Also they don't need it all necessarily. Just metadata could be extremely useful, on a long timeline.
That example causes panic because there’s an immediate major financial threat (yes, those charges can be reversed, but it’s still scary)

A better comparison would be something like “that hotel you spent a week in has a hidden shower camera and an employee has been found secretly spying on guests”
"We don't want to actually destroy the company"

It would be bad for investors, but... would it be that bad overall? I guess a replacement could theoretically be worse but they would have to commit to that ideal and not be dissuaded by the fate of their predecessors
I'm sure your friend lists them as a reference too. :)
