Just adding that my model X has been in the shop since December 30th (self-drove into a highway divider.. nobody was hurt). So up over 4 months now and I'm just assuming there's no chance I'm getting it back before labor day.
Tangential, but its so sad the room is almost empty. Just a sea of empty chairs.

I was toying with making a long trip to a 'con of some kind this year. The last one I went to was a pycon in, I think it was, 2016. But are they dying?
I'm curious. What happens when your Tesla is in the shop? Do they give you a loaner Tesla for the entire time?
> I think it was issue 339 on GitHub. They basically explain they won't add it to sync data because there is no containers on mobile.

Makes you wonder how on earth their data sync is working with regards to mobile. Surely if it doesn't have the components to leverage the data it just wouldn't read it..?
If everyone has no income, that would make inequality exactly zero, I guess.

It is very common. But it depends upon who leads the team and how many resources they have.

When I hire a new developer, I always have them read TDD and Clean Code. Even if they don’t get it right away, I aim to get them to pause and think about it.

Some quick software that was written in haste could be running over a decade. And they might be stuck maintaining it
It might be useful to tell us what this code is about. I found this:

This is the source code of gngr, a new cross-platform browser that champions privacy. gngr is an independent implementation of web standards in pure Java. It is not a wrapper around other browser engines.

That's fair, and if you want to respond to the actual article on that basis, as opposed to just reflexing on the title, there's certainly nothing wrong with that. I've taken out the bit about metaphysics from my comment above, since it isn't necessary. The point is simply that the article deserves a better discussion.

I'm making an appeal as a moderator person. When the delta between an an article's quality and the HN discussion's quality gets that severe, it's proven helpful.
I didn't chime in to initiate debate on the subject. I was merely suggesting a potential resource for someone potentially interested in exploring the topic for themselves.

I generally do not debate such things.

Why would a peer looking over your code be so terrible?
I'm actually quite certain we would experience a superior intelligence with inscrutable motives as "soulless".
Because things like SMS history and call history are far more valuable. They can download your entire SMS, call and contacts list, get the text from that, and then create a social graph based on who you know and who you are in contact with. Then it becomes very easy to trace people and who they are affiliated with. Plus going through SMS history is a great way to find reasons to throw someone in jail. My friend coming from Canada to the US was denied entry for 10 years even though she lived in the US most of her life because of jokes she had in her texts about marrying her ex-boyfriend for a green card. It's very real and it happens.
Interesting, if this is the case it would also have meant needing a second set of pilots for the MAX if it received a different rating.
May I ask how this gets Boeing into trouble? The only thing pilots could do is strike which I find improbable.
Perhaps less about worldview and more about how some people just love their pets for the unqualified affection and nothing more. That is, not actually loving the pets, just loving _having_ a pet.

For these people, it’s just a shallow and transactional relationship masked with pretty words.
Instead of pidfd_send_signal I would have wanted to have PIDFD_OFFSET, which if you add a file descriptor (from a process's directory in /proc) to that constant you can use it wherever a process ID is expected.

Do you mean that there was literally only one instance of the hardware in existence? No physical duplicates of it for development/testing?
> we will need to adopt a new system or just use existing framework (facetime, whatsapp, etc.).

I already use white lists -- I simply don't answer the phone if the person isn't in my contacts list and I'm not expecting a call from an unknown number. I assume this is pretty common practice.

> If every cell phone has LTE and internet connection, why the fuck do we need traditional cell phone number?

I almost never have LTE or even mobile data of any kind when I'm outside of cities (for a liberal definition of city).

> Also, why can't cell phone providers use same spam filtering techniques used in email filters?

Because spam filters rely on contents in addition to meta-data. You can't pick up the phone and listen to the contents for a few minutes.
True, but people with deadly peanut allergies are still completely fine when peanuts aren't around... I can't imagine why vaccine mercury would explain life-long CFS.
These new software packaging systems (Flatpak, Snap, and AppImage) offer several benefits:

- All dependencies bundled in one package, which eliminates dependency hell

- Delta updates for smaller and faster application updates

- Software developers can support all Linux distributions with one release, instead of repackaging their software multiple times

- Application sandboxing for additional security (only for Flatpak, Snap with AppArmor, and AppImage with Firejail)

- The entire application is contained in one file (only for AppImage)

The various app stores (Ubuntu Software Center, GNOME Software, and KDE Discover) already support either Flatpak or Snap, which would make Linux software more accessible to users who prefer a graphical interface for software management.
> it's his job to assume you're lying and find the next legal option available to him.

Not sure where you live, but in the US it's actually his first and foremost responsibility to uphold a constitution that says that people are free from unreasonable searches and seizures.
AWS changed its PenTesting permission requirement
Yes, because Nokia 3310 has FaceTime.
Well, I'm not sure if it would be bad per say, but essentially, you you be taking away the freedom for people to do with that money as they please after they pass. In many cases, people in the US agree that private organizations, such as non-profits, charities, etc. do a slightly better job than the US govrnmt at allocating large amounts of capital.

I would personally prefer a person passionate about cancer research to allocate $1B rather than short sighted, sometimes pork-barreling, legislators.

The Hyundai Kona EV comes with 400Km (more than the base model 3) of range with a liquid cooled pack very similar in design to the model 3.

And it's 0-60 is < 1s slower despite being a front wheel drive CUV rather than a sporty, RWD sedan.

Yes I'm aware that Tesla has more tech in the Model S, X, and upcoming roadster but they can't laugh off other EV's like they did with the Leaf. Other manufacturers _are_ making progress and I hope Tesla keeps it together to lead the charge (pun intended).
When you find yourself proving that 2 + 2 = 17 this is your cue to examine the chain of logic that got you there.

The idea that one person can own everything and everyone is equally well off as if they all owned equal shares is wrong on its face.

In practice in an environment that isn't deeply unequal the landlord creates value by investing capital in maintaining housing stocks that renters may lack or not want to invest. They trade both current money and foregone future wealth for increased flexibility and predictable costs.

In an increasingly unequal one renters have no options because nearly 100% of the value they create for society is captured by others including the landlord or go to pay for their increasingly lackluster survival. In many cases they may end up creating less total value for society and themselves because they can't invest the time and money to maximize their own value.

Your 9 renters example is too small in scale. Back in reality some portion are pushed onto the street, some live substantially poorer lives, families barely see one another because one party or both is gone 60-70 hours per week, people die sooner due to substandard health care, people don't go back to school because they can't work 60 hours to support their family AND go to school. People don't take chances that would improve themselves because they can barely afford to live now. They live in the ghetto because that's all they can afford.

Having an increasing share of the wealth means trivially mathematically that others have less. Only for the upper middle class does that mean they have just as nice a house in a less desirable neighborhood.

Meanwhile in reality in the last several decades 25% more than previously, people take a look at life ahead of them and put a gun in their mouth,forego going to the doctor and end up dying of an infected tooth, or ration their insulin and wind up dead.
If you look at the graphs by eye, there is an extremely obvious divide. SVM just let them find it automatically, but if you gave a human those graphs, they could instantly point out where the line is.
To have computers that are anything close to what you'd recognize as a computer today, you'd need to have an electronics industry that's capable of manufacturing semiconductors, disk drives, CRTs, etc. These rely on many different raw materials which take complex industrial processes to produce. You will probably have to rebuild most of modern civilization (power plants, mines, factories, vehicles, roads, etc.) before you can even think of building computers.

Yes, you could build computers out of relays or vacuum tubes, but their computational power would be very limited. You're not going to be able to run Unix on hardware like that. That technology was very slow and had to be repaired frequently (if you have thousands of vacuum tubes, one would burn out every few hours).
I go with Warm lights for relaxing spaces e.g. bedroom, bathroom, living room, and Cool lights for workspaces e.g. the shed, kitchen, laundry...

It feels "right" to me having a lighting distinction between the types of spaces.
Shameless corporate plug: I am a Grab engineer, we are hiring like crazy right now. We hire engineers in USA (Bellevue WA and Seattle), China (Beijing), Singapore, Vietnam (HCM City), Indonesia (Jakarta), India (Bangalore) and I probably forgot some.

XP doesn't have any official support from Microsoft, and you'll find most vendors are reaching as stage of deprecating XP support. The OS itself is 5 years out of extended support from Microsoft, and it makes up barely 1% of the market place. You'll be hard pressed to get anyone to care if they've broken their software on it.
Similarly, I don't understand why people answer the front door when they can hear or see (through peephole or Ring) that it's a stranger.

> Assets that don't appreciate in value can be demolished and replaced with assets that do appreciate in value

It's more complicated than that.

An asset isn't necessarily an investment. E.g. cars, merchandise, foodstuff etc. People need somewhere to live, so they'll keep building houses and people will keep buying them and living in them, even if the "smart money" is chasing higher returns.

Now in the purest sense, someone with a family home could sell it and buy shares. Let's ignore leverage and say they fully own the home. That might be a smart thing to do. But there are other factors at play including tax, and including emotion and the practicalities of renting vs. owning. If you rent maybe you can get evicted more easily.

I can’t recommend a specific service to receive and scan mail, but if I were choosing one, I’d be more concerned about the integrity of its employees, its reliability and longevity, and its compliance with postal regulations (e.g., in the U.S., requiring every customer to submit PS Form 1583, Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent) than with the availability of source code for its software or its use of cryptography. You don’t want to lose mail or have to change your address if the service loses its lease, goes out of business, is closed by the Postal Service, or has its premises or data seized because another customer is suspected of criminal activity.

As for privacy, you could have the service discard the junk and forward the remaining mail to you unopened, so its employees never see the contents and don’t create scans that might be considered business records subject to subpoena. Remember, too, that the U.S. Postal Service already images the outside of most letter-sized mailpieces, originally for OCR technology development and security reasons, and now also to provide the Informed Delivery service.
Protip: No amount of wealth creation will ever trickle down to the poor people.

We can increase equality by providing free national health care and a social safety net that would allow people to take time off and retrain along with educational opportunities.

Turns out that this works better than giving handouts to the rich.
I do believe that -- in fact, I have no problem with a relatively modest income and wealth inequality. However, the wealth and income inequality that exists in the United States is far beyond that. In the United States, the top 1% controls 35% of the wealth in this country, while the bottom 40% controls less than 1%. This isn't just a difference in skills, effort, and risk-taking. This is flagrant exploitation and domination by the rich and powerful.

Furthermore, I don't believe that Jeff Bezos or any CEO has a claim to their billions. I agree that "billionaires are a policy failure" -- no one person has any right to that much wealth. Amazon's success is not solely attributable to Jeff Bezos, it was the work of thousands of employees and built upon publicly-funded technology research. That wealth should be distributed to society at large, not controlled by one man.

If you find yourself defending billionaires, I wonder, why? Do you think you will someday be a billionaire? If not, then billionaires are not your friend. Their money is money that is taken from your pocket, and the collective pockets of our society. The traditional argument for wealth inequality is "a rising tide lifts all boats", but that has been empirically false since the 70s -- despite a massive increase in wealth, most of it has gone to a very tiny portion of our population. And if you're not part of that population, what on earth do you have to gain from defending them?
"Earn" is not an accurate term, even if you don't agree with political analyses that define profit/rents as unearned. The fact is, over 60% of the 400 richest Americans were born wealthy. https://inequality.org/research/selfmade-myth-hallucinating-...

I don't know how tough the crowd is nowadays but I was already sold when I read the 1st and 2nd items above.
I would consider buying a house being long only if they bought the house cash only. And it has a negative carry (maintenance costs/tax). Probably better off being long a REIT and renting if you wanna play the investment game with housing at this point. Most people are leveraged long with that negative carry (plus interest rate payments), and on the hook for the downside risk. At this point in time, I prefer to rent somewhere cheap (at least until global housing prices comeback down from low earth orbit and wipe out most of the leveraged long negative carries like a dinosaur extinction event), and be long equity volatility and short corporate bonds.
I haven't been following any back-and-forth, but I'm a fan of exploit mitigation so I'll chime in and say to anyone browsing here that https://www.openbsd.org/papers/ru13-deraadt/mgp00001.html is an excellent explanation of them.

(I was shocked when I just googled "exploit mitigation" and all I got back was infomercial articles by Symantec and Sophos etc. Scary. So for people browsing here and googling terms, dig deeper!)

I think we need exploit mitigation _and_ process isolation _and_ the principle of least privilege.

Fwiw, the twitter article mentions capabilities. Something I can pontificate about! I've been lucky enough to chew a _lot_ of cud with some GNOSIS/KeyKOS/caps luminaries etc. And we were still mega-fans of the Capability Object Model but _not_ believers in Capability-Based Addressing. When I did some design work with Norm Hardy on the Mill CPU I designed a temporal
variant of the former that protected ... memory. OpenBSD is actually damn serious about the former. The twitter link is advocating the latter as a fix for something?

I would love to chat with anyone who wants to convince me that Capability-Based Addressing _works_ or is workable. I know that others from KeyKOS etc moved more towards the caps addressing. Anyone want to read up on some of this stuff, I warmly recommend the papers and talks for CHERI, even though I'm not a fan of caps addressing.
Concomitantly the tolerance for abuse has dropped rapidly. It used to be the government was racist and often genocidal, and the public tolerated or participated. Nowadays you cannot shoot and kill some protesters nearly so blithely. The state is armed to the teeth because the fear is greater: the populace also has magnified powers.

Emergentism isn't simply saying that we don't know the steps, it's saying that the steps are not fundamentally knowable by studying the base reality underneath; you have to study the higher-order system at it's own level of supervenience. The building blocks don't feel, the thing that emerges from the interactions between the building blocks is what feels, which isn't really a "thing" at all in the sense that the thing we've labelled as an electron might be a thing. That which we have labelled as an electron may or may not be a piece of the most fundamental, real reality (it could be implemented on some arbitrary hardware another level of supervenience down, but we could only theoretically discover that it is, not that it isn't). You and I, we're just labels put on the interactions between loosely defined collections of things, and those collections are just made up social constructs with no basis in base reality. We were useful to the patterns that repeat themselves many levels of supervenience below us, so we got made up.

I oscillate between believing that electrons probably feel, believing that multi-electron systems with any level of information processing (i.e. any implementations of any functions besides the identity function and the constant functions) probably feel, and believing that some more complex, not yet fully understood subset of implemented functions are all that feels. I'm not actually trying to argue for or against emergentism, I'm super undecided about it. I've been leaning more towards it since my last acid trip, but the one before that had me going the other direction.
Wouldn’t electrics have the same (or more due to weight) suspension issues?

Or does the lower vibration change that aspect?

What I really want is dynamic suspension that adjusts based on location. We already have cars going over every road: we could measure where the pot holes are or where the road is smooth.

The brand was originally devised as an inexpensive, mass-market product. Its imposing pachyderm logo, designed by Rollin Binzer was often paired with bright orange or yellow and black packaging, which was in stark contrast of the more conservative silvers and blues used by competitors like IBM. Shane's advisers feared this would undermine the credibility of the product. However, Elephant eventually became viewed as a premium product, eventually becoming one of the highest-margin floppies on the market and one of the best-selling media brands in history.
