> Constitutional Amendments were not designed to directly contradict the purpose of the constitution

Constitutional Amendments were designed to give each generation the power to decide both the specific content and the purpose of the Constitution; which was not ever intended to be a vehicle by which the long dead dictate the form of government to the living.

Not, of course, that national health insurance costs the original purpose of the Constitution, which is laid out in the preamble, however much one might argue it violates the details of the design.

> Why not allow states to do it for themselves? Broad-brush national solutions do not always work well.

Why not do it nationally? Isolated local solutions do not always work well.

National programs can, and do, account for local variations of the type you describe, and state-level programs aren't immune to having to deal with them, anyway.
Yeah, but I didn't want to sound too pedantic (I did change it silently in my response, though).

This is truly the argument for rooftop solar panels.

Not because they'd replenish a meaningful amount of range per day, but because they'd provide better-than-ICE unpluggability for stuff like long-term parking, cabin ventilation, battery maintenance, telematics modem sleep current, etc.
The argument that I was making was clearly stated at the beginning of my comment. It is significantly different from the supposed argument that you seem to be refuting.

Notice how I did not say that "the developers that certain degree holders find to be most 'polished' and easiest to work with will on average not have a degree".

Notice how I also did not say that a CS degree was not worth people's time.

This all started happening after Bayer bought Monsanto.
Is it fair to say they “cut corners”? They bought the best screen available at the time at size they wanted, and then tested it in-house. It’s not like the screen has terrible specs, but it is not rated to operate at 130°C.

So they tried adding software to keep the cabin below 50°C even when the car is parked, but either it doesn’t work all the time or people turn the feature off, of someone is parked in the sun long enough to run the battery below 20%.

The trade off was a higher rate of warranty repairs in order to build the car they wanted to build.

I think in the case of the Model 3, partially how they solved it is through special glass they used above the front seats. I’ve been wondering why the glass is so unique above the front seats but not the same tint for the rest of the roof glass. It’s very interesting — water droplets on the glass above the front seats look almost blood red. Now I’m guessing it’s filtering to block IR or other solar gain which might otherwise burn out the screen.

Thats the nice thing about Amazon, because of the "flywheel" (customers will always want lower prices and wider range) they've built a reputation of operating like a utility, and customers love them for it.

I dont see why they would ever sacrifice this, when they can easily keep growing by taking this same mindset into new industries (groceries, cloud computing, pharmacies).
Yeah, that's how it appears it really works.

That said, the fundamental idea behind bsearch is toddler easy. It's interesting that such an apparently simple algorithm, namely start in the middle, pick left or right depending on the key, and repeat, is so challenging to code correctly.
> For such a large coal producer to be struggling with that lower demand (and hence the lower price) suggests most of the sector will also be struggling with those adverse market forces.

That is one possible reason... and probably the most likely one.
> You have linked to your own website multiple times, advertised your own competing Indian artist services, and you are even answering questions that were posed to the OP

Yes I did answer a question technically posed to Koonchi, though they also directly mentioned Instapainting in the comment. In other areas I replied when Instapainting was mentioned and/or to clarify some outdated facts such as that there are also Indian artists on our platform that compete with Koonchi (someone implied we only had Chinese artists).

I'm not saying that HN shouldn't be used for PR, or promoting your own business (in fact it should be and is what show HN is for), but this channel isn't a PR channel exclusively for a single startup.

As for this direct thread, it doesn't seem like Koonchi provides deep-learning powered photo to painting services, which is something we do provide and why I felt it was relevant to the discussion of the commenter.

I can see why it looks like hijacking, especially the wording of some of the other commenters (who are unaffiliated with me or Instapainting) that commented and inserted "ads" for Instapainting well before I even woke up in the day. But I tried to only add to what was already there, because I'm also running a business after all.

As you may have noted already I've posted about Instapainting on HN many times before as well, and have always gotten other competitors mentioning their businesses in the comments, and I have never nor would ever question them on why they are "advertising" their businesses on my thread—because it's not actually "my" thread. I hope that offers a perspective window into why I responded or joined the discussion. I've been doing this for about 5 years now and also part of the HN community since pre-2011. It would just feel a bit odd for me to stay silent when a near identical business launches and for me to not offer any feedback.
The MCAS may not have been designed as an anti-stall system, but that doesn't necessarily mean it functioned according to design. The possibility for multiple activations integrates the control response, converting feedforward control into a closed loop (it will continue to act on the trim until the AoA decreases). Somewhere a decision has been made about a control system without requisite knowledge or understanding of the consequences, and this made it through design validation, testing and certification. That is highly disturbing, as there is no certainty that MCAS is stable in any circumstances where the pilot is making manual trim adjustment.
Tesla may not be the greatest company ever, but it's certainly not a fraud. I think we should move on from that point if view. The I immense pressure from shorters and fossil fuel lobby should have destroyed Tesla by now. But here they are, surviving. If Tesla were to go bankrupt this year, I would still call it a successful company.
That was my suggestion as well :)
The execs can't, like, force the underwriters to exercise the greenshoe, so they'll be stuck holding the bag until the price rises above the IPO price, in that regard.

Cloud peak?
I wouldn't mind a defined pension. It's easier to plan for and also I think more efficient. With a 401k you have to save up a boatload of money just in case. If you live too long you may run out of money, if you don't live long, then you have a lot of money left. So it seems to me that it would be better to average it out over a lot of people. Pretty much the same as with health insurance where one people will need more, some people will need less so it's better to average out out over a large number of people.
And "Windows variants"? Comparing Windows backwards compatibility to the ability to run Android apps across different Android forks misses the point. All versions of Windows are proprietary operating systems owned by the same company: Microsoft. Amazon Fire OS, Lineage OS, and other Android forks are not.

I'm more concerned about nuclear being more attractive wrt natural gas, since huge low-carbon nukes are getting shut down right after coal to be replaced with fracked natural gas. This is backwards from a climate change perspective.

Damn fracking pulled the bottom out of electricity prices, screwing over nuclear plants whose O&M is pretty high. They were fine when electricity revenue was normal. But fracking dropped it off.
> To see a huge gigantic company of this size and reputation pursue this kind of mistake that has real impact on paying customers is astounding.

It's a conscious decision, probably due to cost/production volume concerns. Musk had pulled this kind of tricks before with lithium-ion batteries before (remember the early Tesla fires?), they were initially using consumer grade laptop batteries (with a highly energy density/weight ratio at the time but more prone to fire and explosion comparing to other manufacturer's automotive grade lithium-ion battery chemistry, granted Tesla might have improved.)

And honestly, the cost of automotive thermal grade 2 certified central display for 17-inch TFT screen was probably (still is I suspect) cost-prohibitive for a low margin auto industry.

What's really astounding to me is the "cabin overheat protection" feature. As the article pointed out, what this really is Tesla trying to prevent the non-automotive grade screen from failing, even though it's touting for protecting dogs and children at extremely hot summer days. It regulates the cabin temperature at +40C, but that's the temperature children's organ will start failing.
I sometimes wonder if cultural sexism runs the other direction and is potentially a cause of the relative petiteness of women.
Yeah importing doesn't do it for me though. I know I'm not going to be able to get any people to go to my repos if they are on Gitlab. But if I could use Gitlab as the UI, that would be cool, and might be the start of something that would get me to eventually host things on Gitlab.
Well, just to be fair, that's something that would have happened with or without Tesla. You saw those prototype screens at auto shows like Detroit years ago. Crucially, the prototypes were all automotive grade.

In this case, Tesla simply wanted to be ahead of the curve. Worked for a while, then the known failure rate of the parts caught up.

Whether or not it was worth it depends on the strategic intent and whether or not that bet paid off. We'd really need more information to make that call. And Tesla is not going to give anyone on this thread access to the strategic and financial information necessary.
> Bignums, true rationals, and many other constructs are already available in Python. Numpy is too.

The difference is that these things all run dramatically faster in CL than in plain Python, because CL is compiled AOT. In CL, a C library for math is optional. In Python, Numpy is mandatory.

> Most importantly, infix is available in Python.

Infix is certainly available in CL too, as other posters in this thread attest. I just don't feel any need for it.
> Cernan speculated that the lander’s ascent module had been short-fueled on purpose: “A lot of people thought about the kind of people we were: ‘Don’t give those guys an opportunity to land, ‘cause they might!’”

I've always loved this anecdote. It really illustrates the adventurous attitude and boldness these astronauts. If they were fully fueled, there was a non-zero chance they would have just landed. What's Houston gunna do about it?
Sound like those temperature differences could cause condensation to short the device. How is that usually prevented?

Asking probably because my desktop pc went out with a bang last night, waking me up. It's probably the accumulated dust that killed it. You'd need all terminals and wires with potential isolated from air, no?
What’s confusing? Sagas were long, epic stories and now we use the term colloquially (sometimes hyperbolically) to describe complex events that occur over a long period of time.
Yeah mirroring is relatively easy. What I want is full and continuous synchronization of everything -- comments, PRs, etc. You could do it with a combination of the Github API and a web spider, at least with public repos.
The 707 is interesting as the UK air Registration Board refused to certify it in its original form. It had insufficient rudder authority in the case of certain engine-out scenarios because Boeing hadn't implemented full rudder boost, and the pilots therefore couldn't overcome yaw. That had killed two crews in training. In order to save the big BOAC order Boeing had to fit full boost and a tail strake, which they quietly adopted for all subsequent 707s

Then there was the 727 that had four fatal crashes within six months of entering service, which was put down to inadequate training. But it was later found that the high fatality rate was because Boeing had routed fuel lines along the belly, which severed in a hard landing and caused immediate fires. And they severed easily because bizarrely they were aluminium, in order to bring the weight within target...

Better yet, put them to work reclaiming mine sites where possible. Rape is not too strong a word to describe mountain top removal. I don't even care if it comes out of my taxpayer dollars instead of the pockets of the coal operators who need to be held responsible, I just want it done. It has to be done, there are places in West Virginia that have been on boiled water warnings long before Flint. And so much of Appalachian culture is having deep ties to the land, so it'd be very meaningful work in the same way being an nth generation coal miner is meaningful work, regardless of how misguided that seems to outsiders.
When I look at the (male and female) C*O and EVP of my company I would say height definitely plays a big role. The women are around 5'8" or taller and the males are > 6ft. there are exceptions but in a lot of meetings I have seen the highest ranking is the tallest or one of them.

This seems different than Tesla simply overlooking a quality requirement because of a lack of communication.

This is the top of the top, Musk himself, saying "screw that quality requirement, this is good enough", and plowing forward regardless (and having it bite them later).

Who knows how many other components they were able to cut corners with for now. And how many will start to fail in the coming years.
Shovels? How many people would it take to do the job without shovels is the question you should be asking yourself.

Unlike government entities, private companies are legally obligated to keep pensions fully funded at all times. And they're also required to pay a fee into a federal agency designed to cover the costs of the federal government bailing-out failed pension funds.

There are ways that companies can and do game the system. For example, during a merger the company might claim that the combined pension fund is overfunded and then stop making payments until the supposed net liability returns to 0. The "excess" funds often find their way into executives' pockets as bonuses, compensation for the several quarters where the company's ledger miraculously showed unexpected profits.

There are problems that need to be resolved, but they're resolvable. Private pensions can work, and have worked. Don't believe the rhetoric about pensions--it's largely driven by executives trying to raid pension funds. Executives don't like them because as compared to 401(k)s the ratio of executive compensation to worker compensation is lower. There are federal rules that require workers receive the same benefits as executives, and for various reasons executives will come out ahead with 401(k) packages.

The book Retirement Heist by then WSJ investigative journalist Ellen Schultz explains all the gory details.

Municipal pensions are irreparably broken, though, precisely because the federal rules regarding funding don't apply to them.

I think we did know all of those things, but Monsanto was very well connected to the political establishment. Is it so difficult to accept the fact that this whole thing screams "corruption on the highest levels"?

If I remember correctly, Donald Rumsfeld and the Bush Family were heavily involved with Monsanto.
So is the vast majority of public documents. That being said, having a record of actions, issues and opinions can be quite useful as these records age.

Sbcl has all the pieces in place for vectorization, but I don’t think anyone has actually hooked them up.

The place where I was working was pretty big and had probably 10 big teams handling different parts of their site, to compile your project you compiled the whole site. Furthermore it did stuff like compiled images every time although image assets were hardly ever added. Compile times at times could be in the minutes. Not to mention that their gulp file was badly written.

A redesign of the whole compilation process was undertaken - assets that were global were compiled through a different process and you pulled the precompiled results, assets that were hardly ever touched in the normal development flow were not automatically compiled instead you had to call the process to compile them, only paths or asset types that had been changed were compiled - thus if no sass files had been touched no style compilation happened, and finally you no longer had to compile everybody's subsection of the site only your own. Compile time was generally less than a second for our part of the site on my machine.

Yes, primarily-political sites are downweighted equally. And yes, there are other kinds of site that get penalized. For example, most major media sites produce more lightweight articles than substantive ones, so are marked that way in our system. I should mention, though, that there are plenty of ways for such penalties to be overridden, besides moderators turning them off manually. For example, they don't apply to submissions by users who have a track record of submitting solid stories.

Some of this is algorithmically determined and some of it is manually curated. The more complicated a decision is (e.g. is site X primarily political), the less likely it is to be algorithmic.
Coal continues to "thrive" because it went out of its way to keep those people impoverished and unable to fight back while it bought their state governments from governors down to school boards and sherrifs.

You should go read about the Battle of Blair Mountain and the Coal Wars. Big Coal more or less committed genocide in Appalachia and not only got away with it but had some assistance from the US government. That's how powerful they are. The number of senators these states have is pretty irrelevant in the grand scheme.
