What's interesting is they ran the folding machines and even showed everyone to create confidence, but they don't seem to have dogfooded.

Wouldn't it make sense for a company like Samsung to hand out some of the devices to their own staff to use? I'm sure you can find realistic use cases among the staff of such a large company. If you're afraid of leaks give it to the family or upper management. By the looks of it even a handful of phones would have revealed the issues.

I can't rebut the comment that replied to me here, because it's dead.

But it raised a few points I do want to address.

Yes, people were oppressed under the Soviet system. American capitalism is oppressive to many, too. Ask a prisoner who can now only access books on an "allowed books" list.

No, soviet life wasn't better for everyone; American capitalism isn't better for everyone. Ask the millions who can't access health care and die prematurely for it.

Saying that "some suffered under soviet rule, therefore it is unacceptable" sets a bar of "nobody should suffer" that is unreasonably high; it is also a bar that American capitalism very distinctly fails to clear. Suffering is great in the US. Ask the homeless, ask the struggling. There's no American freedom for them, it's an empty slogan. There's only suffering for them.

My point that some prefer soviet rule is to rebut the generalization that it did not work. It didn't for many. It did for many others. American capitalism does not work for many; hence the extremism in political life. People want a change.

My point is that it's an oversimplification to say ours is good, theirs was bad, when the history and reality is much more complicated than that.

> I think it's possible to be using a genre voice unconsciously, or doing it consciously but for your own purpose. Just because the genre is X, doesn't mean we can assume the purpose.

Certainly. It is still interesting to analyze as a genre, this is how we make sense of the written world. Perhaps you are doing that same assumption of purpose with my writing.

> I think you missed the point about "purpose over profit", it really gave this guy a feeling of that.

Is the point of "purpose over profit" to engender a feeling of purpose in the people who think they are doing it? Is that the "purpose"?

I think everyone should endeavor to treat their customers, suppliers, and coworkers with respect as human beings, instead of trying to take them for all they are worth. I agree doing so will make you happier. Which can perhaps be surprising to someone who tries it and has never done it before, how much it improves their own life. This is called being a decent human being, and there's no reason for everyone in every job not to do it. There's nothing wrong and a lot right with trying to behave like a decent human being in whatever business you are in, it's commendable, but it's not "purpose over profit."

I think it's disingenuous to elevate the idea of "treating people like humans instead of just instruments for my own profit, while at my profit-focused endeavor" to "purpose over profit", and disrespectful to people who really do make significant material sacrifices for a non-profit-oriented purpose.

What do you think his "purpose" was here, and in what ways were any profits sacrificed for it?

So yes, this is equivalent to FinVect of the field of which entries in the matrices consist.

The difference is that here you construct the category from a simpler premise. To construct FinVect you need to include all set objects with structure satisfying some axioms.

The category of matrices is simply positive integers with as morphisms n x m matrices between the two integers. Composition is matrix multiplication.

Here [1] is a nice overview. If you can follow what is going on there, it is worth while looking at II, III and IV.

Between the breadth of their investments and the favorable terms they can get due to their size and positioning it seems very unlikely they'll significantly under perform the market in the long term. Quite literally, they're so diversified it seems very unlikely that they can completely burn the money.

It seems unlikely for them to outperform, but I don't think it's likely that they'll be notably underperforming.

Very little news (other than trivial news) is conclusively proved (or even provable) true or false in a way that all sides would agree on. All this would lead would be either just reporting after the fact news (a man was arrested in town X this morning charged with crime Y) or stories (even more) full of hedging language that cannot be conclusively falsifiable ("sources claim...", "some experts believe...", "we're hearing credible rumors that..." etc)
> There's not a single person, regardless of ideology, that wouldn't press this button.

You have vastly more faith in humanity than I do.

There is an entire class of people who define their success based on how much more they have than everyone else. It isn't enough for these people to be successful, healthy, and financially stable; it is necessary, for their happiness, that other people not have these things.

Many of the problems we currently face have, if not solutions, proven mitigations. These mitigations are complete non-starters in America, though, because a significant minority of people have been convinced that "those people" haven't earned it.

> It makes people fear and hate one another and further drive this perception that we have no shared values.

A more important issue is the fact that our legislatures are structured to have exactly zero concern for our shared values. If we take your cheap little pistols example (which is entirely accurate, as far as I can tell), we have one of those clear mitigations: universal background checks. This mitigation enjoys somewhere around 90% public support. It will never, ever pass as long as the NRA is allowed to terrorize politicians into voting against the public good.

I love how this is (was) down-voted but this is exactly kind of comment people on HN would use to poo poo the various ~700hp straight line rockets that FCA sells (which you can get with arguably better interiors than any Tesla). "It's not a true luxury car because it's only good in a straight line" is a perfectly valid (and widely held) opinion but if you invoke it against Tesla that's not ok.
fwiw, separate from the topic at hand, your experience of shockingly large road/sewer bills coming due is rapidly going to become normal. for a walk through of the math check out about three minutes of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVaEmg-S-j0&t=10m50s

most of these american exurban developments of 50 - 250 homes, with no other meaningful town or tax base, down winding side roads and cul-de-sacs, got built starting in the 80s and really ramping up in the 90s. they are all 40 - 60 year infrastructure financial time bombs.

the math never worked, it was just built on a long enough horizon that everybody got to assume it would be someone elses problem.
For my part, I wonder something similar about how most other people seem to entertain themselves.

Podcasts and audiobooks are easy to consume alongside activities that occupy my hands or my hands and eyes. TV isn't compatible with other activities that need to occupy my eyes, and video games aren't compatible with anything that needs my eyes or my hands.

You reach the scale to sell cheap cars by first selling expensive cars to people who can afford to buy expensive cars.

They'll model the scenario and conclude that it is fixed.
What does a "highly functioning society" look like, in practice? I think you'll find that the answer basically involves widespread awareness (however achieved - e.g., via basic education) of liberal/bourgeois values. It's not rocket surgery!

The emulator alone is not an issue, and indeed you have NES emulators that are as, if not more, capable.

But free NES ROMs download websites or equivalent are illegal.

Here, the combination of a port+the existence of an emulator provides a way to play the game without honoring the copyright (in fact, even the limited pool of actual C64 is an issue), even if it's a bit convoluted and a lot of work to play one game.

As much as this port is a cool achievement, and probably actually helps cultivating the nostalgia around the game, Nintendo has every right to issue this DMCA.

That being said, the usual copyright duration seems a little excessive for old computer programs and games.
I agree about unedited podcasts where people just talk to each other, but there are excellent podcasts that are closer to documentaries or audio books (Hardcore History, for example). They're pre-written, heavily edited, and performed well.
Done a fair bit of BI and OLAP this last decade, and I still feel NULL cause more issues than it solves.

For the counting case, sum(case when ... then 1 else 0 end) generally works as well, and generally att little to no cost.

Having nullability as a concept in the query language isn't very problematic though, I might even consider it be helpful on average bas long as a view or table can never contain nulls

Nullable columns in tables and queries is the problem. It boils down to how each nullable columns (in)effectively describes a schema equivalent to a table for each nullable columb, and one for the non-nullable, where the relationship between these tables are quite under constrained.

Thus to ensure data quality and correctness you will have to query all nullable columns of interest to make sure that the various combinations of nulls in those columns doesn't interfere with what you are trying to report. You will also have to track that no component of the system suddenly starts reporting nulls in columns where it didn't use to, as that is equivalent to a schema change.

This wouldn't be much of an issue if there were never more than one nullable column per table, or att the very least that only the absolute minimum of columns were nullable. This is however only very rarely the case, usually there are far too many nullable columns. To make reliable and stable reporting one then has to solve the under specification of the source system in the analysis and reporting pipeline for a class of issues that for the most part should be the responsibility of the source systems.

Best use of nullls I know of, is using them to lower cost of table scans in Google BigQuery.

Sure, you can replace brake pads yourself. But few people want to do it; let alone are capable. Saying "significant sources of income are therefore shrunk" significantly overstates just how many people would do their maintenance work on that level.

I know people who have paid people to replace the bulbs on a car. My wife rarely even bothers to refill the washer and I can count on 1 hand the number of times she's checker her oil in the nearly 20 years of owning a car.

Most people either don't care how cars work, don't have the technical capabilities to fix their own car or simply don't want to.

A second wave of issues would present an existential threat to Boeing, they are aware of this and you can be sure that every design element is being triple checked to make sure nothing at all is missed from the MCAS issue or anything else.

Even the greediest capitalist executives imaginable would not take a gamble on there being a second wave of problems with that plane.

Is This the Tesla Pickup Concept
> Audi chooses to limit charging thresholds to preserve battery life and your conclusion is that they must have a rapidly degrading battery pack? More likely is they're being ultra-cautious because they don't have their own data in place for how the batteries will respond.

Well, its clearly inefficient, whether it degredes rapidly or not was just a guess. My argument is that building EVs is harder than Teslas critics have admitted. If Audi don't know the degreadation state for their own battery then that kindof backs that up. The e-Tron is a nice enough car but it was trailed as being a Tesla killer and its clearly not that.

> This is all based on the new Model S having a range 80 miles higher than the e-Tron and 50 miles higher than the I-Pace

My argument is not really about range, its about range for a given battery size - i.e. efficiency. Batteries are heavy and expensive - thats why building an affordable long range EV is such a challenge. If your EV is inefficient, it will be heavier and more expensive than it needs to be.

Even if the e-Tron used 100% of its battery it would still only get 230 miles of range. Still below the base Model S, which - probably - has something like a 70/80 kWH battery - smaller, lighter and cheaper.

I like the look of the i-Pace but it seems to be smaller on the inside than it should be. It supposed to be an SUV and just 500lbs lighter than the enormous Model X but its got just a slightly bigger boot than the Nissan Leaf (17 cubic feet vs 15.3). Presumably, thats because its full of big heavy battery.

> I'd expect Tesla to settle in as something around BMW, luxury price points, decent profit margins, solid but not massive sales numbers. The model 3 has ended up solidly within that price bracket.

Yeah you might be right, I am disappointed that they abandoned the $35k target for the Model 3.

From the article you linked:

>Here’s how Apple avoids paying nearly all taxes in Europe:

That's blatant click-bait. It actually only applies to iTunes revenue which is a sliver of Apple's overall tax bill, most of which is paid on physical products taxed like any other manufacturer.

The basic fact is Apple pays a huge tranche of taxes to governments all over the world, more than any other single tax payer. Picking at little threads round the edges of their tax practices doesn't change that fact.
Sure I don't have that much experience, but IT positions in Italy are genarally underpaid. 75K/year is definetly not a common thing here and yes, I do believe you live like a 200k would in other places. Where do you live?

With the Mustang is that there's only so much you can do and still stay at the Mustang price point. The changes made to the Mustang (and Camaro for that matter) is dependent on technological progress making things that were once reserved for expensive cars cheap and regulatory compliance forcing updates to the main body structure (no reason to spend money to re-tool for a different tub if you don't need to since you gain basically nothing from doing that by itself).

Adding IRS was pretty significant though.

How can you be sure that "random" untargeted ads don't have just as bad of an effect? Ultimately Amazon can see the numbers and we can't, and they made their decision based on that. It's pointless to argue over theories without data.
I don't know, has there been anything of this sort in the age of Twitter and social media outrage? Seems like the unprecedented ability that we have for information to quickly disseminate could allow the 737 Max issue to live on a lot longer in the public consciousness.
