Do you know whether the hearing is open to the public, and what the details are?
"Enterprise Value", which includes debt, is a much more accurate measure of a company's size than market cap. By that measure, Ford's Enterprise Value is $190B vs Tesla's $50B.

Ford's sales are about 7.5X Tesla, and it's EV is about 4X Tesla.

Tesla's financials and market cap are not completely out of whack when compared to other car companies.
The problem: while there is absolutely a need for very senior level ICs, there is simply less of one than there is for managers, so despite parallel career tracks existing, advancement often substantially more available via a management track.
In Virginia, which I believe is the only state like this, a jury which renders a guilty verdict then reconvenes to determine the sentence. Everywhere else sentencing is done by the judge.
Nice. Their key insight: "Inspired by the observation that the faces under close poses look similar, we reformulate the facial pose estimation as a label distribution learning problem, considering each face image as an example associated with a Gaussian label distribution rather than a single label"
This comment might be snarky, but it does sum up my concerns pretty accurately. I would like to hear a veritable answer to it.
No, on purpose. Musk is reserving "regulatory" as the excuse that will be used when they fail to deliver: "we had everything ready, I swear, but regulators wouldn't let us launch".
Here's a paper that describes it, confirmed with real profiles, not just speculation: https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01955327/document

Google Releases New Java Logging Framework Flogger
A very thought-provoking article, but one that still leaves me with questions.

* The vast agricultural monocultures of the US have changed our climate on their own. Our fields of soy, wheat, and corn have decimated local ecosystems, led to high nitrate levels in the water, changed air temperature and humidity on their own, and encouraged a US diet that is high in processed food, leading to its own set of health problems.

* Yes, these vast monocultures are in a feedback loop with raising animals for meat. Corn-fed cattle and pigs and chickens are part of the reason Iowa is what it is today.

* If we all switch to tofu and tortillas with a side of Coke made with corn syrup, we overall preserve the agricultural status quo in the US. Is that really that big a win? Curious.

* Vegetables seem to be lacking in the standard American diet, and they're not subsidized by the federal government the way grains/corn/soybeans are, and they're also something a lot of us buy from far away. How can we change all that?

* Many people will still want meat products, some for health reasons -- it can be hard for some folks to be vegetarian or vegan healthfully (I had trouble with fatigue and anemia for instance, and yes I understand that maybe I could have tried harder/eaten more supplements/etc). How can we encourage the shift to animal production on 'waste' land, and decrease the incentives to ship beef from Brazil and Bolivia? Can we make goat meat cool again, for instance? or rabbit?

The alternatives I'm personally more interested in: shifting transportation patterns for US adults (biking and transit). Increasing green space. Re-encouraging locally grown food, where by local I mean the back yard. Rediscovering the foods you never knew you could eat but your great-grandparents did: nettles, dandelions, Virginia waterleaf, garlic mustard, purslane, daylilies, hostas. Many of you could get a whole week's worth of greens, even in May in colder climes, by walking outside -- and how many of us know it? Right now I'm motivated to rediscover these local foods for myself for health reasons, but it helps that they're $0 to grow and $0 to transport, and thus add 0 to my carbon emissions.

Major props for the Snow Crash approach!

Every warehouse/storage unit I've ever leased has included terms that specifically prohibited doing that, though. You might be able to get away with it for a while, but you should always be prepared to be evicted.
It's more that it's a very sensitive process with a lot of very delicate steps that'll be hard to setup. To get it started there will be some challenges adapting the processes to the lower gravity I'm sure and if it's not being manufactured on the moon transitioning the machines to microgravity is an even larger challenge. It's also just that those are some of the lighter components so building them on earth and launching them for outfitting in space will be ok for a while.

Also there's a lot of chemicals used in chip manufacturing that we probably can't get on the moon at least at first in addition to just getting the silicon pure enough and the other doping elements.

I'm not sure about the energy requirements but it should be doable.
I couldn't agree with you more. At $CURRENT_PLACE we preach an iterative spiral that I believe is appropriate for the sort of embedded safety tech we work on that has built in time delays for testing at (for ex) UL or whatever NRTL is the NRTL of the day. Whether we're succeeding at differentiating it from serial waterfall is debatable. I think we are because marketing travels to see us every other week and they're meaningful yet we avoid what seem to me like make work bits of agile and scrum. Absent the imposed processes everyone works closely enough together that we can finish each others sentences most of the time and most of us appear look forward to coming into a workplace where the manager is absent half the time but because his most important role is to his bosses from interfering with us and to clear out the obstacles in our way it works pretty well.
A true engineer! :)
I think the question "Is there any billionaire out there whose gains prove not to be ill-gotten" is a good question to ask.

There are over 2000 billionaires in the world, and rich people often pay extra for privacy. Learning about all of them isn't a small feat. It's good and proper to have public discussion about such questions before entering research.

SEEKING FREELANCER

Full stack developer.

Stack: Rails/React/Postgres/SASS

We need an eCommerce platform for small chains of brick-and-mortar shops (1-20) to list and sell their stock online. Mainly we are talking furniture, books, CDs and DVDs (... yes, CDs and DVDs).

Basically you'll build a more narrow version of Shopify.

We're not trying to win any Red Dot awards here but ideally you've got the ability to theme Bootstrap.

To give an idea, I'm expecting v1.0 of this project to come in at between $10k-20k.

I'm afraid there is no flexibility on the stack.

Rethinking Drag and Drop
It's totally depressing/demotivating.
Yes, that's only for writing. For example, to collect all lines matching a pattern into a register with

:g/pattern/y A

you need to use an uppercase register ("A" in this case) because it executes `y` once per match. With `y a` instead of `y A`, you would end up having only the last match in the register.
Even speaking as a fan, this is an excellent summary.

Like many states in India forbidding the consumption of beef? Or many entities forbidding dog/cat/horse meat? It happens all over, all the time.
I don't think the real problem is about Windows tools not working on Linux, but about Linux tools not working on Unix. Stuff like Systemd and Wayland don't even care about anything besides Linux.

Different people view being a piece of shit differently. It's good to codify standards no?
Yet your diet isn't solely personal choice.

Was it your personal choice to cut down rain forest to raise beef cattle, or palm oil? What about air freighting in fruit and veg that common sense says comes on a ship? No?

Your diet is small part personal choice, within the far larger part played by cultural mores and market-led financial choices imposed by producers and supermarkets. You can't escape the part played by billions on advertising, and the choices of restaurants and supermarkets that led to your "personal choice".

"The market" is not going to phase out ecologically reckless methods unless people stop buying. Yet how can they when that detail, very intentionally, never appears on the label, and 365 day availability ensures almost no one remembers when things are in season any more?

So much for personal choice.
A robotaxi isn't too far off if you limit where it can operate.

It's not infeasible to train an automated driving system specifically suited to the streets of LA or wherever. Some place where it doesn't snow, doesn't rain often, and drivers/cyclists/pedestrians are fairly predictable (at least compared to someplace like Asia).

Alternatively, a robobus, that is to say an automated system that drives from one place to the other on a highway or interstate, seems to be mostly solved.

In both cases, if the vehicles were mostly autonomous but could also be controlled remotely by a human in ambiguous cases, they would still be vastly cheaper to operate than existing taxi/bus services.
>> As someone from the EU, this reads like dystopian fiction.

As someone living in the US (thankfully well insured and decently paid), I can confirm dystopian reality.
Everything works well 97% of the time, until you have something that falls out of the confines of the giant decision tree -- and then things go really wrong. I used to think everything was well until we had a difficult pregnancy/delivery. In such cases, there are professionals who's service is bill reconciliation!

An injury to one is an injury to all.
Which is ridiculous. I'm sure there are plenty of people who could be effective managers and would gladly do it for less than the people they manage, if it weren't for the fact that they would have to be hired by other managers for whom neither of these qualities are actually desirable.
Yes Recaptcha needs a lot of work before it becomes usable again. It's not super friendly for humans and just as easy for bots to break failing miserably on both ends.

I've also noticed that Google search has become a lot less friendly. One of my favorite queries is "site:stackoverflow.com keyword" but 1 out of 5 times I see that annoying captcha (i think google gets triggered faster when I use this keyword to limit my searches to SO only) and then I have to tag a barrage of unending streetlights and cars just to get an answer :(

It has actually been quite beneficial to help me break my Google habit and move to another search engine.
I am way out of my depth; why would a state refuse that money? What is the cost of accepting it that 19 US states feel is too high? Not demanding this of you specifically; maybe someone, anyone, can answer.
No, we tend to take what people say at face value. Even if they're fraudulent hacks like James Hansen:

DC’s Clean Rivers Project is building 4 long tunnels to act as a buffer for the old combined sewer system. Some of the tunnels are complete and already functioning. Previously large storms would cause the sewers to overflow into the Potomac and Anacostia rivers. The EPA wound up suing DC and the Clean Rivers Project is the result. The new tunnels have already had a huge effect.

That's actually my point. Eventually someone will call you and want to negotiate to get partial payment.
Ghosn's handling by the Japanese is utterly despicable. No habeas corpus ... no due process.

Ghosn is credited with a stunning corporate turnaround and creating billions of dollars of value for a Japanese company and the Japanese people. I am certain foreign corporations who do business in Japan are thinking long and hard about the implications and potential risks of operating there.

To be clear - I am not saying Ghosn is innocent. He may very well have created special corporate structures to siphon off cash - and if he did, he certainly didn't do it alone. I think he regretted not taking the helm of GM where he saw US top execs easily earning $20, $30mm a year with no complaints from the public...
1.024^4 = 1.10

Inflation is usually targeted between 2% and 2.5%. So an estimated 10% over four years seems reasonable.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. The people with the permit to demonstrate were attacked and defended themselves, and are being railroaded by the justice system. It's not illegal to be proud of defending your right to free speech with self defense.

Meanwhile the people who show up with weapons and masks, and with no permit and incite the violence don't even get arrested.

It even happened a few days ago at a Trump rally. A reporter got harassed and attacked, and nothing will happen to the perpetrators - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j693_xvdGTI

Aerian | Bath, UK | JavaScript / TypeScript / React / React Native | ONSITE | aerian.com

We're a 25-person agency based in the woods just outside Bath, creating web and mobile apps and games for large and small clients. These include the BBC (hundreds of projects), CNN, Historic Royal Palaces (the Tower of London!), as well as lots of non-profits and public sector clients.

We're hiring mid-level and senior JS devs, ideally with experience with React or similar frameworks. A lot of the work will be TypeScript, but it's OK if you don't have experience using it yet. You'd be working on a mix of greenfield projects and maintaining existing projects, and while it would mostly be front-end it would probably include some Node work too - including voice skills.

Our hiring process has a short at-home project, and an in-person interview possibly with a phone-screen beforehand if you're not nearby. The interview doesn't have whiteboard coding or quizzes, but is based around discussion of your at-home project.

Perks include free gym, electric car scheme and working on lots of interesting projects.

If you're interested, get in touch with me directly: matt.kane@aerian.com
No, it doesn't have a chilling effect because pharmaceuticals are a global market. The dirty little secret is that the US having crazy rates like "$2000 for two ibuprofen" as mentioned in another anecdote in this thread is exactly what enables price fixing in most of the rest of the world to be functional.

The disaster that is the US healthcare system is architected to eliminate any concept of price transparency to directly confound free market processes, and is costly to line the pockets of middlemen and pharmaceutical and medical/biotech firms, because their pockets aren't being lined elsewhere in what is an essential and large global industry. The US effectively subsidizes healthcare around the world by paying out the nose, and the entire thing is perpetrated against the American people by intentionally introducing smoke and mirrors to the process.
Thank you, I appreciate the reference. I'll take a deep look at this.
It's writing. It's two short words. You can still read it clearly.

I think fonts are pretty neat in a "hey we can make things that look fairly different but are still perfectly recognizable as the same concept" way, like the different styles of house icons which all meant "go home" in HyperCard stacks.

I confess don't understand the extreme nit-picking about one line being slightly too far over. Or trying to explain alleged issues through strained metaphors. Yes, this lower-case "d" looks like it has a belly -- that is the shape of that letter! They all do.

They've got an entire operating system, and it's full of bugs -- as they all are -- and it has obvious and measurable problems that hurt usability. I'm not sure why a minor branding change justifies a blog post on their part, and I really don't see why unkerned text is "a disaster". I'm typing this in a <textarea> which (like everyone's 1960's-emulating terminals and 1970's-styled editors) uses monospaced fonts, which by definition cannot be kerned.
It's tempting to suggest that maybe Java has enough logging frameworks.
End to end means from client to client. Facebook wouldn't be able to see the messages.
Really cool to see the US Government posting roles here. Kudos.
I think purchasing private keys is an unlikely transaction because it would be impossible for the purchaser to know how many copies of the keys existed before the transaction occurred. It could theoretically happen.
> The company acts as a third party with very different (and often directly conflicting with the end user) aims that creates a much harder ethical situation for a developer to navigate and creates confusion as to who has the responsibility to sound the alarm.

This is very similar to structure I operated under as a corporate attorney at a bank but also as the Chief Information Security Officer. I owed a duty to the bank, as my "client," and also to the bank's clients, whose information I was charged with protecting. You are indeed correct that it's a difficult and uncomfortable situation to manage. I always tried to be a "zealous advocate" for the bank in all matters except those related to privacy and I'll be the first to admit that much of my zealous advocacy was indeed a net-negative for society. I did ultimately leave because of a disagreement over how to respond to (or in their case, chose to ignore) an ongoing breach of customer accounts.

All of that being said, I don't think it's an impossible ask with a bit of help from the government. I also served as the AML Officer and in that capacity I had the absolute final say on all matters related to money laundering thanks to the PATRIOT Act. The only way to override my decision would be a board vote. I never had any "disagreements" about how to handle an AML situation because my decisions were final while my decisions as CISO were merely a recommendation that management could (and did) ignore in order to save time, money, and bad PR.
