About six years now. I remember initially using some official tutorials that weren’t great. These new ones are much better:

https://cloud.blender.org/p/blender-inside-out/560414b7044a2...

The various Andrew Price videos were very helpful and once I had an idea of what feature I needed to use it made searching for tutorials easier.

For specific scientific applications, I can’t say. I’ve used various Adobe tools and CAD packages over the years for making artwork for papers and presentations as well as being inspired by animation from video games, documentaries, 3b1b etc.

One of my initial uses was rendering lambda_2 isosurfaces of turbulent structures from Direct Numerical Simulations.

I’ve used the Python API to script some topology generation for 3D printing which is great. I’ve yet to use animation nodes because for the current series I’m working on I want to give the students blend files of the animations in vanilla 2.8 should they want to explore behind the curtain.
Other Washington markets are ripe for this activity though. Lot of money is exiting the Seattle area and buying homes in the rest of the state.

If society decided newspapers don't matter, why should a billionaire prop them up?
Not only that, but do you really want all of the news organizations to be owned by billionaires?
When Google's internal turmoil surfaced about the work on Project Jedi, it did not ultimately kill the project[0].

As long as there's someone else still willing to compromise their moral grounds for the value returned, it's still going to get made. That's just how capitalist societies work: People need to make money and someone is going to fulfill that objectional need because they have a need to fill their own coffers.

One need only look at the fervor against Facebook and realise that they still employ over 35k people to understand that, at the end of the day, people are either willing to do the task or they're in a position that they have no other choice (considering that the US doesn't have much of a social safety net).

So, while "conscientious objectors" might be good for a single business direction, it - sadly - does nothing for the overall scheme of things.

...but even if all of the engineers organised in North America to create manifestos, under psuedo or actual unions, which dictated what the future of tech should be used for, this does nothing to dissuade the partners (e.g.: 5Is) from doing the same and then sharing that technology back to their own government.

I concede that maybe I'm misunderstanding the author's intent but to me, the posit seems too idyllic to be fruitful (overall) in modern society.

Many societies in the world does in fact collect money from billionaries to put towards society-wide issues like this and others. It's called taxes, and in the case of media, public service. The BBC is one such example, funded by tax money from billionares.

These numbers are wild. Why doesn't this happen more often in the US?
Society != market forces. I certainly don’t think that the value of everything in life should be determined purely from economics.
Except it doesn’t need to be. Set up a trust, form a company and don’t be the CEO. Trust sends money to the company for eternity, as long as the company follows any rules that were set by that trust (journalists must follow a specific code, etc).

It’s a great idea. Nobody will do it though because money.
How will your train your AI for that? How far as I know there is no AI remotely able to identify the important bits, put them in context and explain them clearly. This is very far away.
I generally agree.
I get that it's annoying to wait for Apple's review just for fixing critical bugs for example, but I feel like knowing the review block is there means you have to be more thoughtful about what you're deploying in the first place. Prevention is pretty much always better than treatment, and having code push means you can afford to care less about testing.

Option 2 gives the other side time to fight back, with much more resources than you have.

Option 3: pick the lesser evil, not the best option. Cut the money/power flow for the incumbent parties. Force them to compete. It is my hope for democracy's purpose - to force competition at governent level.

Citation needed here. In many countries it does not happen at all. It only works if you have enough billionaires with very different interests to compete against each other. And it does not mean they will compete about everything either.
The entire feature is marketing bullshit. There is no practical utility in making a car that fast go even faster, it's sold only as weapon in the battle to express the desired length of one's phallus in vehicle form.

They should charge $15,000 for the first "10% faster" and then another $25,000 on top of that for the second 10%.
I think what happened was auto dealerships successfully lobbied the state congress to raise the barrier to entry so they had less competition from private sellers.
It's an uncharitable low-effort comment labeling HN users with differing opinions as mainly motivated by greed. That kind of comment is discouraged by the rules and is why the downvote feature exists.

> Regular people here in Poland seem to universally think along the lines of "look at our gasoline places, it's so expensive [compared to the US], most of it is taxes already, and you want to add extra tax?!".

You could suggest changing the road taxes or exempting gas from VAT at the same time as implementing a carbon tax. It would actually come out cheaper, if we can get the carbon capture price down to $100/ton or less (some estimate $60/ton is viable).
I'm like you in that I used to code "against the IDE and test cases" by basically rapidly iterating and kind of refining as I go along. Always fast to compile and see what happens.

Learning to write code on paper for exams and on white boards for interviews actually improved my skills a lot. Maybe not everyone coded like I did, "against constraints", but having to slow down and take into account the constraints mentally led to making better code.
As far as I know, the current Nintendo Switch Online subscription that is bringing Nintendo money right now has a port of that old NES game as one of the games you get to play for free as long as you keep paying the subscription. Nintendo can easily argue that having a freely available port you can play lowers the value of their Online subscription service.
Can confirm. I interviewed last September and was given the choice between laptop and whiteboard. Picked laptop. It seemed this element was new to most interviewers at that time.

However, the actual practice of applying the now-legal practice to something like you described is far above the technical skill of most automotive shops. Some tuners may be able to do it, so it might be worth asking around and doing some digging if this happens to anyone else.

Ahhh cool. The GitHub link on the bottom of the page just goes to this empty GitHub repo:

I've been having issues with my transmission's cardinal grammeters going out of sync. I've heard if I get a turbo encabulator [0], it would supply an inverse reactive current into the unilateral phase destractors, which would fix the sync issue, but the price tag is more than I can swallow. I might just have to deal with the side fumbling of the ambifacient lunar waneshaft, even if it means having to regularly replace the spurving bearings.

It stands to reason that bulk preparation of these meals would lead to dramatic reduce in waste compared to individuals. It would be an obvious metric to monitor.

This is false. Check out the D-Notice system (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/DSMA-Notice) and note there are very recent examples of government interference, notably during Snowden's leaks and the Skripal affair.
That Gilette/HP model is something I consider unethical as well. It's manipulative (instead of a honest deal, it tries to mess up people's calculus), anticompetitive (undercuts honest dealers) and generates ridiculous amounts of waste - doubly so, when you end up in situations like people buying new printers every time their old ones run dry, because even with reduced-capacity starter cartridges, it's still a better deal than just buying ink cartridges.
Contract/consulting engineer (as in in real engineering of kind like electrical, control systems, rotating equipment etc) easily makes a lot more than that in Perth Australia, but you also pay a bucketload of tax and have very high costs for the location.

Also contractors are paid by the hour, so rarely sick (usually an amputation is required to not attend), always do overtime and hardly ever take holidays unless forced...

Question for Tesla owners: Is the recharge time ever a problem? Have you ever felt regret from not being able to just pull up to a gas station, refuel, and be on your way?

Beyond being indistinguishable but by intent, loss leaders deployed at scale effectively are predatory pricing.
This is an interesting point. One question. How does one distinguish between the institution and the people that make up that institution?
I'm not sure what you're referring to (maybe the big names of current podcasting?), but I can assure you the rest of the world has podcasts too and may or may not have ever listened to NPR at all.

The only difference I know of is that "all of calculus"[1] is covered in 2 classes, 18.01 (single variable calculus) and 18.02 (multi variable calculus), instead of the more common Calc 1, 2 and 3. Each class also has different variations that covers the same material in a more in-depth theoretical manner (18.01 vs 18.012 and 18.02 vs 18.022). Other than that, the material covered is the same.

You can find the material for both calculus classes in OCW:

- https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01sc-single-varia...

- https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-02sc-multivariabl...

[1] By "all of calculus" I mean the required calculus classes to get a degree. You can definitely take more theoretical or advanced classes.

There are already massive efficiency gains to be had in the world of refrigeration.

For example, in a typical refrigerator loop, there is a restriction to slow liquid flowing from the condenser to the evaporator. A turbine here would collect energy rather than waste it in the joule-thompson effect.

Also, refrigeration typically uses a phase change (liquid to gas usually), but the use of phase changes is incompatible with efficient use of counterflow heat exchangers. Future efficient systems will be entirely gas-phase.

Reciprocatibg cylinder compressors also have large losses to the walls of the cylinder, which for high efficiency need to have no thermal mass, which obviously isn't possible. Turbines are the future for efficiency there.
Yes technically that's true but it doesn't really matter, those laws won't have any effect on activities like this.

It is not used alot in modern code, the only use case that I think is reasonably ok nowadays from and used that way is template engines or config caches in development mode, that usually compile template code to generated PHP files, but eval() immediately during development for simplicity.
I thought the difference is that in one case you sell below market price (loss leader) and in the other below production cost.

So:
1$ production cost
5$ market price

Your price:
3$ -> Loss leader
.50ct -> Predatory pricing
I loved this story, and you all clearly did, too.

How can I possibly be the first person to get stuck on the fact that this fellow dropped $2200 on a niche domain without a business plan in mind?

It's funny, because on HN, it used to be (especially in the wake of Aaron Swartz) the community typically would swing in favor of amnesty.

Legal consequences beyond civil financial penalties for goofing off on the internet? Usually, the HN crowd (or any technical crowd) would oppose such a thing.

But the winds have shifted, have they not?

One has to ask: when? and why? If opinions have changed, what was the blessed event that worked its magic?

You could say it's generational, and that would be true. But the demarcation has very likely been drawn at the cusp of the 2016 election, when much of the world stopped making sense, and, natually, The Internet was blamed.

Truth is, though. The facts as claimed by the official narrative are dubious and absurd. As believable as a UFO.

Facebook? Russian trolls? Subversive media bot influencers? The low-brow term "fake news" instead of the historically understood term:Propaganda? Crackpot conspiracy theories? Anti-vaxxers? Flat earthers?

Those are the ideas floated as the harbingers of a botched 2016 election outcome.

And now. Now, the idea is that there should be real consequences. Jail time. Criminal records. Punishment for being an internet goof.

Previously, this mindset was confined to the more sinister spectre of child pornography, what with its intense and deadly taboos. Piracy, and even malware prosecutions caught a dim view.

But now, politicization has placed different opinions into play. This is actually kind of interesting. Not surprising though. Not so much unforeseen.

Polarization is more divisive in the civilian context than ever before. The last time things were this charged was when celebrity tar and featherings affected right wing conservative media darlings: The Dixie Chicks, after they spoke ill words against the 2003 Iraq invasion.

When George W. Bush stole the election from Al Gore in Florida, no one knew how bad things would get in less than 12 months. Now, I think, because of that. People get hotter, faster. And yet with all the same promise of being effective.

True to form, things are getting uglier with each passing day. I wonder what 2020 is really going to be like...
I had a full Plasma Wayland session running on AArch64 RPi in mid 2016, so this is just wrong.

The only issue is that the Raspbian downstream kernel and broadcom's proprietary userspace drivers are a pretty big mess and not compatible with anything.

When not using any of them, you get a much better experience with software compatibility.
By default OpenSSH _logs_ after three keys but it only gives up (if you don't have a fail2ban script blowing everything up) after six keys. And you can reconfigure the server as appropriate, unlike whatever this "active firewall" (which by the sound of things may just be a fail2ban script) does.

This is a bad fail2ban script, it's inconveniencing real users rather than targeting the bots you care about since they are doing password guessing anyway.

How about:

1. Sell products x cheap and y at higher margin.
(x happens to be what Z Corp also sells)
2. At some point in time, coincidentally after Z Corp
folds, decide to stop selling x cheap.

Was x the case of predatory pricing? Or was it just a loss leader to get people to buy y, and it's just a coincidence that the company abandoned it around the same time Z Corp gave up?

I find it bad that they hyped it up for so long and then removed it from online sales a month later, but you can still order it over the phone or in-branch.

Your calculation doesn't really make sense. Your calculation assumes that the free Ludicrous update offered to existing owners costs Tesla 10,000 USD, but existing customers can upgrade to Ludicrous for 7,500 USD. How does that work?

My assumption would be that the gross margin of the Ludicrous upgrade is closer to 90% than 50%.

The metric in a vector space is a dot product. If you just have one vector space, it’s not that interesting then, but if you have many vector spaces all glued together (like a tangent space to a curved surface), then looking at how the dot product varies between nearby tangent spaces tells you a lot about the surface (Gaussian curvature and so on).

No, a personal attack would be to suggest the moderators at HN are defending Amazon employees from criticism using intellectually dishonest tactics. That would be a personal attack.

Nothing I said was about the poster as a person, but rather the poster represented him/herself as a representative of a company at issue. If you're on here representing your company for good press, expect criticism. If you're moderating that away, look in a mirror and ask yourself why. Does one of the largest companies on earth really need to be defended in the public square by HN moderators?
