> you would expect that someone from tech revolutionizing an entire industry at global scale would get a little bit more respect and appreciation here.

I'm not one of the people negatively commenting but I personally think one's character is significantly more important than ones accomplishments and he doesn't really seem like a good person.

I admire that he is trying to do something about global warming. Nevertheless he seems like he's let his fame (or lack of sleep..) get to his head and I strongly disagree with the marketing of autopilot.

I understand why people would admire him though. He's done some amazing things and consistently.

Fun fact: some major coporations have a defacto policy to auto delete all emails older than 180 days. Period.

This alows them to bot have those emails available to government spying as a writ.

From experience we over-estimate the actuarial competence of insurance companies. In most cases they will trial a new product with premium calculated from incredibly basic stats, see how it goes and then up/reduce the premium as they have more in house data on claims.

With FB's dataset and employee count, it would be insane not to be concerned with malicious insiders. Even if you completely discount morality and honesty where Facebook is concerned (and I do), there's substantial liability risk, PR risk, regulatory risk and commercial paranoia, which I suspect was likely their biggest concern, at least until recently.
Yeah pretty much or they are getting so much data from FAANG that they don't know what to do with this is totally useless and superfluous.

Both citations seem equally relevant to the article.

If you think your legal citation is meaningful, then I'll point out that 1) the described (and alleged) retaliatory behavior are not listed as any of the punishments in the text you quoted, 2) punishment without being able to challenge the punishment is an abuse of power, and 3) why aren't the lawyers and activists simply arrested for breaking the law?
To be fair, the general cycle is that any ad network/publisher platform tends to get started with the shady affiliate and performance marketing scene, and then as they grow, they gradually get on the radar of more "reputable" advertisers, and eventually costs rise and they begin actively pushing the smaller ones out for brand safety reasons to let them drive up their CPMs for big brands.

The 80/20 Rule of Time Management: Stop Wasting Your Time
Manufacturing is understood and still hard because you have to execute well every day. With software once you are done it’s easy to replicate. Guess why the phone market is donated by hardware manufacturers? Because it’s hard to produce a phone at low cost and good quality. Same is true for cars. The development is relatively easy but producing is hard.

You can drink 4000 calories of ethanol and not gain weight though! It's the only macronutrient with no storage form. From this was derived the infamous lean chicken breast and tequila diet. Biologically impossible to gain fat on that diet. Dietary protein is used as such, very little is converted into glucose and of that virtually none becomes lipids[1].

Never said it's healthy, but you will lose fat. If you're not keen on the ethanol poisoning aspect of the diet, you can substitute complex fibrous carbs like broccoli or some such and get similar results.

Of course if you really don't care about health you could poison yourself with Dinitrophenol. It's the fat burning drug. Literally. Users routinely die from their bodies cooking them to death.

No question this is coming. But I think the current car manufacturers are very well positioned to ride that wave. I don’t see much room for startups there.
Yes this makes perfect sense if every person in USA took one car journey in a year.
I have read probably 4 or 5 of these articles, written by professors/teachers, claiming to have been punished for their speech.

2 common threads about them. The first is that they rarely discuss specifics about what positions or what opinions got them censured. The second is that the comments section is typically full of drive by commenters who aren't responding to the content of the post in particular but to the idea that a professor might be censured for [their view].

I think its fair to say that everyone believes that universities ought to be places where it's possible to explore radical ideas. But sometimes, things are just wrong. If a professor teaches a load of students that the Sun orbits the earth, they're going to be censured, and nobody would be surprised.

I can't say anything to respond to this particular post, because I have no idea what this guy in particular is even being censured for -- whether the idea itself has value enough to discuss. The fact that some students believe so is certainly not a high enough standard.

I find it ironic that Unity is used as an example... the immediate mode UI was/is considered a joke.

Terrible performance, doesn’t scale to UIs more complex than a form (... like the ones many games tend to have)

It got to the point where there was a website dedicated to track when we’d get the current non-immediate UI, and Unity actually hired the developer of the leading non-immediate mode UI library in the asset store to work on their own offering.

Incumbent car manufacturers are actually lightyears behind in experience that Tesla provides. Just look at their dealership model that is design to robe user at every step in the process. From tech perspective, majority of Toyota line up still doesn't even have good smartphone connection story in 2019. Honda still have bare minimum driver-assist. Toyota Sequoia hasn't been literally updated for years and a giant car like this doesn't have basic safety features that one would expect in 2019. Keep in mind these are the biggest, wealthiest and most powerful car manufacturers in the world for who money in not an issue. They have perhaps 10X more people working on improving designs than Tesla but at the end of year nothing really comes out. If you look at model differences between 2018 vs 2019 for large majority of incumbent manufacturers, you will see no difference or something tragically trivial such as offering new shade of color. You may think what the hell their design staff of thousands of people did this entire year?

Tesla's main strength is design, courage and agility. Everything from door handles to dashboard is made to delight the user. They are tech company that became car company, they move fast and they deeply care about delighting users. Ideas don't boggle down in bureaucracy. Model-3 is upgraded even before year was over. Model-3 is designed for million mile life. No incumbent manufacturer would dare go in this territory. The difference is same as incumbent software giant vs new startup.
These comments are weird. Everybody is stretching the truth to some degree but these claims are pretty bold.

Worth a try, but probably unsuccessful: Try and do a password reset with Namecheap in an effort to gain control of the domain. You have the credentials to back up what the site purports to be. Call frequently, because Namecheap would probably not want to handle something this hot if they knew it was this hot.

Make a (disingenuous) high offer to buy the domain through the filter on the whois. That'll give you a point of contact if nothing else.

> Why would advertisers bid higher when this is not the only channel and comes with less targeting and increased fraud potential?

Brave's model - like all ad-supported ones - depends upon them getting very big, enough that they get a substantial fraction of total user attention. They're going for this by blocking all existing ads, which in today's web makes the browser significantly faster and less annoying. They're at about 5.5M users as of January 2019, up from 3M in July 2018. That's still a long way to go, but it's growing fast.

> Why would users opt-in at all to see ads when they're already blocked?

Because they get money for it.

I'm sort of up in the air about it.

Although you're more likely to change the mind of someone at university than anywhere else in the world, you're never going to change the mind of your professor. They've invested years if not decades in their opinions.

I think pulling out the dirtiest, most underhanded rhetorical tricks is fair game in college. It's up to me to pick apart the nonsense. (Thanks philosophy!)

I also think it's completely reasonable to say up front, these topics are off limits - for no reason whatsoever. It's hard to get a 17 year old to say, no discussion of X.

Another aspect is, the classic victorian phrase, "you have the advantage of me". Some key word or phrase to indicate, i'm not prepared to deal with this, and you can't hold it against me. Not just can't, but will be held in contempt by every person participating in the conversation if you press the issue.

It requires subtlety, taste and discretion. I don't think an arbitrary set of rules can actually capture the subtlety required. Can tact be a standard?

What a bizarre perspective on the issue of whether or not the "Dark Ages" are incorrectly named.

The author seems to think that the term stems from the extent to which historical buildings were lost or re purposed. With that kind of logic, you could similarly say that abandoned towns are the height of civilization.

In other words, a very muddled thesis, followed by muddled, ill fitting justifications.
Repeated behavior probably has to be taken into account also, like if your friend does it 10 times - you'll want to break up that friendship.

I'm a fan of Brave's mission, and the browser itself is great (basically Chromium but faster), but the practice of hiding publisher's ads but showing their own, which may or may not end up compensating the publisher, seems fairly unethical.

I think a couple things would make it less objectionable and more awesome:

1. don't block verifiably "clean" ads by default, which basically means lightweight, no JavaScript, etc. Something like AMP for ads. If a publisher wants to show their own ads, given them a reasonable way to do so without buying into the whole centralized Brave/BAT system.

2. don't allow users to keep the money they "earn" from viewing the replacement ads. Ideally hold it in an escrow smart contract that automatically sends it to a charity if the publisher doesn't claim it after a certain amount of time.

3. come up with a way for publishers to easily allow users to pay per-article. I don't pay for a WSJ subscription but occasionally I want to read an article. Let me easily pay, say, $0.25 per article, otherwise I'll continue to find ways around your paywall.
The question is, can we see how Tesla can get yearly earnings of say $5 billion to justify the valuation?

Maintaining a high profit per car seems to depend on selling a premium product, or presuming that other car makers cannot compete. When shifting to the mass market (more than say 1 million vehicles per year), surely the profit per vehicle has to decrease sharply - even if Tesla can earn more than the industry $1k per vehicle (from the quote below).

From 2017: "Recently, Tesla’s valuation surpassed both Ford’s and General Motors’. BMW is among the other major carmakers in the rearview mirror. The logic of this is intriguing, given that Ford, for example, is coming off its second-best year in its 112-year history, earning $4.6 billion while selling more than 5.5 million cars worldwide. General Motors earned $9.4 billion selling 9.8 million vehicles." From article: https://www.vox.com/the-big-idea/2017/6/26/15872468/tesla-gm...

As a single male with extremely few material possessions, I'm one of those people that does my own laundry but never folds their clothes. I used to watch my mom fold our clothes when we were little and seemed like a waste of time. Seeing as I wear extremely casual clothes, this isn't a problem for me. If I wore more formal clothes, I would fold/hang those. I just leave my clothes in my basket and pick out what I need every morning. It seems to work well enough.
Agreed. Better to bore people with brief review than alienate a wider audience. I've had people say to me "I know that" angrily when I'm mid-explanation of a concept, but it's better to be thorough. This habit comes in handy in forums or in a room with more than two people. In both scenarios, lurkers/eavesdroppers then get background info and don't walk away misinformed.

"As to academic freedom, Professor Charney’s complaint argues that the criticisms of his classroom performance, and thus the decision not to renew his appointment, really had to do with his “radical free speech” approach, in which he forced his students to discuss controversial viewpoints on hotly contested issues of politics and public policy. The panel finds no evidence, however, that anyone at Sanford objected to Professor Charney’s raising of any particular issue, or expression of any particular viewpoint, in his classroom. Indeed, Professor Charney stressed that he intentionally introduces provocative views on all sides of issues and that students would have difficulty determining his personal views.

The issue was not what Professor Charney discussed but how he handled discussion of difficult and emotional issues with and among students. Professor Charney perhaps could have made more effort to learn to manage classroom discussion of difficult topics in a manner that would have left all students feeling fully heard and respected."[1]

In short, not everyone felt warm and fuzzy when discussing difficult issues - something which I believe to be a near impossibility - not when we live in a world where even presenting a dissenting opinion can be considered offensive -- indeed letting the discussion go where it may, would probably make many people feel uncomfortable.
