ASICs are all well and good when you can afford them AND when you have the volume to sustain them.

The main issue is that Tesla can't afford them. They have $2.2 Billion in cash remaining and are currently losing money at a rate of $700 Million/quarter.

Tesla's cash reserves are nose-diving and they're busy doing vanity projects like a self-driving ASIC, when their volume of cars being produced is well under 300k / year.

The volume simply isn't there yet to sustain this ASIC. 300k/year total car production, and not all of those cars would even have a self-driving capabilities installed. Tesla needs to work on expanding its Model 3 capabilities before ASICs make sense.

70,000 total vehicles produced Q1 2019. That's 280,000 vehicles this year if extrapolated over 4 quarters.
Yes real food goes off quickly and so isn't as profitable. Meanwhile most of the food on the supermarket shelves have so little nutrition that even bacteria won't eat it, it's cheap to make, stores long, and has higher profits then real food.
I think the closest analogue to this in the US is a mall food court. Many vendors instead of one, but similarly to the canteen, provides an open communal space with varied seating options. Of additional note: cheap, fast food (think McDonalds) is ubiquitous but low in nutrition - healthier canteen style is up against stronger competition than the WWII-era British Restaurant
Holy crap really?!?

As someone who loathes the pretense, attitudes, and money-grubbing of so called "Fine-dining" I've long dreamed of the emergence of canteen style dining in the western world. Where I live, every new restaurant is more expensive than the last, with average entrees easily topping $20 in mid-market establishments, and $30+ being incredibly common. Prices are so astronomically high, as establishments are now primarily competing on "experience," meaning they're spending huge sums on fancy architecture and furnishings, drastically increasing their cost bases. Since they spent so much just to get the place up and running, you're subjected to constant up/cross selling, ludicrously overpriced drinks, and the pervasive sense that if you can't afford to eat there without caring how much you're spending, you don't really "belong" there.

I would love for nothing more than a basic, no-frills establishment that serves simple, healthy food, counter-service style so I don't have to deal with uppity yet somehow obsequious servers grubbing for tips, as I'm more than happy to bring my own damn food to my own damn table and am more than capable of filling a water glass when I'm thirsty. I'd much rather save money, enjoy my meal in peace and put my dishes in a bin on my way out than deal with the conspicuous consumption as a performance that so much of dining out has become these days.
Hey Josh, thanks for your response.

>In the S/MIME case individuals need to be more participatory, and it's hard to get end-users to do anything, let alone correctly.

Do you not think there's a case to be made here for MUAs to implement e.g. ACME and make this seamless? Why shouldn't I be able to automatically get a certificate provisioned for my email account and then just opt-in to signatures/encryption as needed? If a player like Google decided to roll this out to consumer GMail (recall it's already available for enterprise customers) they could massively increase adoption.

>It will remain a niche system whether or not we participate.

Why do you think there's no chance of innovation if an automated certificate provisioning solution becomes available?

>There is no opportunity for impact that would justify the effort and expense on our part, no vision for the future of S/MIME that we're excited about.

This really is a shame and I fear it will pretty much cement S/MIME's fate going forward. As much as PGP has some strengths and I've used it for many years, it's poorly supported without external software and I'm not sure it's a good answer for the average user.

Out of interest: is there any vision for email integrity and confidentiality that you are excited about, if not S/MIME, or is LE really just about web PKI?

Join us to learn about the many intricacies of medical data, how to handle very large volumes of patient records, and how to build pipelines to operationalize cutting-edge machine learning models. We have developed a product major healthcare players want to buy and now need to turn it into something big that will streamline how healthcare works, come help us build it out!

Lead Software Engineer: We work mostly in Python and Scala. Main technologies include Spark, TensorFlow, and Airflow among others, mostly based in GCP. We’re always trying new things, and you will be part of making those decisions. We’re looking to build more robust pipelines to transform raw, often human-entered data into standards-compliant forms, and to deploy a wide variety of machine learning/AI models in a scalable, traceable manner.

We need several engineers at 4+ year senior/tech lead level. Requirements for more senior positions shift more toward demonstrated ability to architect and lead projects. In all cases though we look for independence, a strong sense of craft, and solid technical skills.

General Process (based on candidate we make small tweaks):

2.) Short take-home problem

3.) Phone conversation about take-home

4.) Onsite with us

Odds and ends: mostly onsite in lovely downtown San Mateo but flexible hours. Free lunch, ~25 employees, growing in a field that really affects people's lives. Diverse work environment with good, friendly people.

> There is also far more instances of conspiracy theories being true than just MKUltra, some of which serve to fill in the gap.

Yes, I particularly enjoy the ones about aliens - some conspiracy theories being true doesn't mean others are as well - each must be judged on it's own merits, and not as a group.

> As for the why him... why would they have gotten a CIA agent tied up into the whole mess to begin with?

Who are you referring to with the CIA agent? And let's be honest, he trades in classified documents - why wouldn't intelligence be involved with him?

I still don't understand what value brainwashing him would have - assuming he's not already compromised by some other power in this clandestine game of cat and mouse that apparently exists below the mainstream medias reckoning, why would we believe he is in fact one of the good guys?

Please disclose your conflict. What role do you have in the healthcare industry?
It's obvious.
Actually no, the lack of affordability is 100% due to political decisionmaking that for the past 30+ years has failed to generate enough housing to match population growth. No supply + extreme demand -> massive increase in prices.

Sort of. It’s just that if the solar power could be used to meet energy demands or stored in batteries, that is a more efficient solution than using energy to clean the atmosphere (because otherwise the gap will be made up with fossil fuels which will be more costly in total energy) so for any economically rational environment (which are most places) where wasted energy is not being produced, we would need to invest in extra energy producing infrastructure in order to justify doing this.

And that’s ok, I think that such an investment could be profitable. It has plenty of positive externality effects too.

I understand what you mean by the typical American cancer story. But I do get the sense you have pattern-matched this story for what I shared and may have missed the value of it.

We're not talking about quack treatments and unnecessary procedures here. Being intelligent about diving into the medical literature for a specific cancer, and consulting with academics and professionals in the field, in order to correctly identify treatments that may be effective for this case at the cutting-edge years before they enter the mainstream - this seems like an eminently correct thing to do. A simple Google search of "glioblastoma ketogenic diet" should show you the growth of research and good results now emerging in this area. They were ten years ahead of the curve on this.

And it's a fact that some medical professionals are better than others and this makes a quantifiable difference. There are bad doctors. And this is reflected in the studies. Doctors fall behind on recent developments, or have different levels of experience with specialised procedures (say, due to being in lower-population rural areas, as in this case), or just plain have worse manual dexterity. [1] [2] The original hospital did a bunch of damage, and I believe they even tried to sweep things under the rug in some way (I don't remember the exact details unfortunately).

What I am describing is not something the average person can do. Which is why it is not a mainstream recommendation on how to interface with the medical system. The average person will probably end up suckered into magic cancer beads, quack doctors, and then into the story you describe. This takes intelligence, effort and time. And risk-reward calculations. My relatives are quantifiably in the top one percent on measures of intelligence and education. As mentioned I chose to share this here specifically because many of us here fit the same kind of demographic.

But it’s not given unconditionally, they can be fired at any time. Highly paid employees typically face a huge switching cost and have every incentive to do whatever ensures they will keep collecting the pay cheque, long term, letting them maintain the lifestyle to which they’ve become accustomed.

Of course, if we are talking about earning massive bonuses from hidden/delayed risks, that’s a different matter.
All of the things you mentioned above are less penalizing then disbanding a corporation and seizing their outstanding assets, revoking licenses in particular - the shareholders and employees of the company could just re-incorporate under a different name and carry on with business as usual - I'd call this "Pulling a Blackwater" but this happens extremely frequently across a lot of sectors.

There are different types of leadership, which get confused or conflated when talking about promotions and organizations. There are people who lead by being exemplars. Such people might contribute greatly to the organization, yet have minimal management skills.

Then again, this also applies to different kinds of management. There are many different kinds and styles of management, which are differently suited to different situations. My wife and I often talk about her managing the "A students" versus the "B students" versus the "C and D students." Note that this is relative. If an organization is pushing into new and difficult terrain, some completely independent A students might become more like B students in the new context. Some "C and D students" might start to thrive in a far messier context. Think of the change of context between training camp, versus combat deployment in Band of Brothers and Hacksaw Ridge. In both of those shows/movies, the people who thrived and contributed the most in one context were very different than in the other context.

At the very least the host should be chosen based on it's current ability to host the games, not rely on tens of billions of dollars worth of construction projects to get there. LA is probably one of the few places with most of the venues already in place.

The other option would be to host different sports in different countries, so the burden get's spread out more. It's kind of ridiculous that countries have to build artificial rivers now and all kinds of ridiculous crap. Why not host the kayaking somewhere there is a natural river they can use.

Just what the world needs. More jabber before I can speak to a human. No, I don't want your hours of operation, unless you are closed. If you are open then I want (a) a human to answer; or (b) a message that says "Happy and Healthy Foods Here. Sorry we are on the phone at the moment. We estimate a wait time of 3 minutes. Please hold on, or press 1 to leave us a message."

I'd imagine they probably want to collect a good sample of data from their prospective customers to ensure it works across a broad range of businesses before going fully automated.

They could do this by going round loads of small businesses and asking for call recordings to test against, but launching with a manual offering first to collect the data seems so much easier.

I agree with you, except that I'd put the Olympics at the bottom.

They have their beauty pageant/silent auction/bid every two years, where cities across the world bid against each other for a single year Olympic event, and the process is riddled with bribery. The NFL (and all other pro sports teams) at least sign a multi-decade contract. Still a terrible deal for tax payers, but not as bad as the Olympics.

Phone robots are awful. Just this morning I had to call Fidelity, and their phone robot made me type out my 50 character randomly-generated password on a 10 key. It then asked me to state my question, it guessed wrong, and the support agent had to re-ID me anyway just to transfer me to _another_ phone robot that again requested me to enter my password on a 10 key phone.

If GOOG can actually make this process better (like in their example, if they could have texted me the buried link on fidelity.com that I could do what I wanted to do) than I'm stoked. Less stoked since this seems like a weird product for Google to build, and a prime product for them to try & shut down 18 months from now.
