In the 50's or 60's the Soviets tried some passive listening devices that were basically reflectors hidden in walls. When they were hit with microwave radiation, the reflected beams could allow them to capture conversations. It's not out of the realm of possibility that Russian intelligence services have improved significantly on this concept in the last few decades. Or that they found a way to weaponize it.

> This resulted in engineers that would purchase their own equipment and bringing it to work to use because they couldn't wait a month for a $200 piece of equipment.

That's a mistake. You should never pay other people's costs. If the company wants to put itself in a position where work is delayed by a month for the sake of $200 then that is the company's cost to pay.
Less harrowing than being murdered.

On some level i don't mind aws, I have a bastion in us-east-2 and it is only 35ms away. Still, it adds to the Rube Goldberg aspect of my smart home that the route between my light switch and my light goes through Ohio.

My practical beef is that if the net goes down, things stop working. Also it looks as if AMZN is cloning the SmartThings infrastructure, learning from the mistakes that SmartThings made earlier.
I think there’s another common reason to ship the buggy mvp: you launch, get promoted, and find a new job. All the glory and none of the maintenance.

Usually cost cutting at a high-spend early stage company entering a mature phase doesn't usually meaning counting pennies at the expense account level.

High growth companies that rapidly expand as they try to penetrate the market and conduct plenty of R&D have lots of exploratory avenues and quickly-signed deals with partners that could easily result in cost saving without affecting the primary business model or the vast majority of workers.

This is different than an older company with zero growth potential trying to find more profitability by choking out their squeeze the pennies from an existing business in order to keep investors happy.

Amen. It’s one of those cases where I think “if I had infinite money, I’d build a vector graphics app that works just like I want”. But then I realise that if I had infinite money, I’d have better things to spend my time on.

> This seems to be a very recent thing. First off, I don't think the justice system is meant to "bring closure" to the victims, whatever that means. And secondly, if someone close to me was murdered, I seriously doubt that "closure" would make me feel any better about it.

As someone who had a parent murdered ~15 years ago and still doesn't know for certain what happened, I can tell you that personally the fact that I haven't had closure regarding the incident has severely affected my life for the worse.

Depends on where you live. If Vermont, more than 90% of their grid is powered by renewables and other non carbon sources like nuclear.

Not to mention that the equivalent mpg for a Tesla is 100mpg.

Add to that the fact that mass produced grid electricity is massively more efficient and clean than everyone generating energy themselves. (ala internal combustion engine).

It would be like saying that everyone having their own gas generator at home is just as bad as having a single gas power plant that powers the grid.

Sure, there are other sources of pollution like the batteries but "all in", electric cars are still significantly better for the environment.
> Women might benefit from their higher percentage of body fat since both sexes lose a similar amount of fat during an ultra-endurance performance such as a 100 km ultra-marathon (Knechtle et al. 2010a, b, 2012a, b).

Sounds like BS to me.

Running burns about 100 Calories / mile[0] (62.5 Calories / km).

100 km means 6250 Calories burned.

Fat is 9 Calories per gram, so 6250 Calories is 1.5 lbs (0.694 kg) of fat. Even if the calorie burn rate is way off - say by 50%, there is no way any of those athletes is in danger of running out of body fat.

And that doesn't even count the carb gels and other food runners typically eat on runs.

Arotega's post outright states Tesla is spending money to grow to meet unmet demand, and that seems to be backed by actual Tesla unit and income numbers. You've countered with a static, ungrowing fixed income/cost model, with numbers pulled out of thin air, with no rationalization behind those assumptions.

I haven't downvoted you, but you've posted what's at best a toy mathematical model unrelated to Tesla. Others might be downvoting under the assumption that it was supposed to be related to Tesla, in which case they're probably downvoting based on the misapplication of math.

Expanding your math model by the tiniest bit - if $2M of those costs are fixed, merely doubling production could bring you to break-even (2x9=18, 2+2x8=18), assuming income and costs linear with unit volume. Further growth would enter profitability. But even this is super unrealistic - the entire industrival revolution was basically driven by our ability to use automation to drive costs sublinear faster than income goes sublinear, which also leads to profit.
I love Tkinter, but I could accept letting it be an installable package rather than built-in. I can certainly see its size and complexity being a burden on smaller installations. I think making "pip install tkinter" be bulletproof would go a long way. You're not going to start using Tkinter unless you're reading a tutorial anyway.

There's always going to be a good debate about which batteries should be included. I'd almost put numpy ahead of Tkinter, but maybe that reflects my bias for scientific programming.

That's a good analogy.

At what point does what we're giving up become worth it to solve all these crimes?

I don't have an answer, I'm just wondering.

Obviously solving 1 or 2 crimes isn't worth giving up so much private information. But 10,000? 100,000? Is there even a number?
My 2 cents as someone looking to get a new (mid-range gaming) laptop this year: The new ones coming out currently and within the next few months. You'll find the amount of AMD Ryzen in mobiles has skyrocketed the last two years.

We now have AMD Ryzen CPUs combined with nVidia dGPU solutions, unthinkable just a year ago. I'm still waiting for the Ryzen 3750Hs to hit the (German) market, but if I had to buy tomorrow, I'd presently opt for the Asus FX505DT-EB73. This one has an NV dGPU, there's also an arguably Linux friendlier AMD RX 560 of that laptop available, too.

I personally would also prefer an AMD dGPU solution, but the RX 560/580 is already old and I don't think AMD has a solution anytime soon either, unfortunately...
The nominal market cap of BTC right now is about $129 billion. A $40m trade represents about 0.03% of the reported market cap. That a trade that small would cause the market to crash by double digit percentage points is absolutely a sign of a thin market.

Also, the slow speed of price propagation isn’t a sign that the market is thick, it’s a sign that the market is inefficient.
Could you please point me to the location of that counter? Because I ain't seeing it anywhere.

Python cannot be atomized effectively, and the issue is political.

The problem is that I cannot count on being able to install new software in many environments.

If I fight the battle to get centralized IT to install Python, I now have a guaranteed set of standard libraries as well. I'm never going to get permission to install anything other than default. Ever.

Consequently, the standard libraries need to be very complete and very useful.

And, while people seem to love the Rust approach to libraries, I'm not necessarily a fan. Far too many times I have pulled a library that is "obviously" something that a language should consider to be "standard library" and gotten bitten because it was broken. Only VERY core libraries in Rust are guaranteed to work across multiple architectures and OS's.

I think Rust is probably doing the right thing for Rust as "batteries included" is NOT one of its tenets. However, that doesn't make it right for everybody else.
I think that says more about the nature of psychosis brought on by extreme stress than it does about the patient. The article says genetics can be a factor, but for this diagnosis in particular calling it a permanent attribute of the sufferer seems misguided. It seems naive to think that most of us wouldn't completely break down with the right amount of stress, maybe varying amounts for different people.

So how does a business actually deal with collecting and remitting this? Is it a special case they have to deal with separately from sales taxes, or is it treated like a sales tax? If it is a sales tax, do the sales tax service companies like Avalara and TaxCloud and Savos handle it for you as long as you set the right tax code [1] for the item?

[1] Sales taxes often vary depending on the type of good. E.g., some states might charge a different rate for food ingredients than they do for prepared food, or for food sold through a vending machine. The tax service companies assign a code to each category of goods that might have a different tax rate so that when you ask them to computer tax on an order you can supply the appropriate codes for each line item so they can compute the right tax.
It is not possible for a shell to know how to perform completions for every binary on a users machine. Shell completion scripts define the auto-completion for each specific binary, so for autocomplete to work (well) it needs to be supported both by the shell and by the application. This post is about writing shell completion scripts (the application side, not the shell side).
Eh, I still think a v8 with a flowmaster is pretty cool.
>this seems insane

A little bit. Big part of the issue was that the professional exam results were published by originating university.

So there was this really perverse incentive for universities to send only the most battle hardened candidates into the process to kept the very public stats on the uni's performance on these independent professional exams high.

And if you think that's wild - it gets better. This being HN: Some enterprising genius looked at this entire process and decided he's going to set up a recruitment company that does nothing other than exporting survivors of above process. Literally park them anywhere globally - nothing really matters & nobody cares where cause clearly these guys can cope and collecting a juicy placement fee is easy money. One of the best/safest business models I've ever seen - leverages a beautifully subtle anomaly in the global labour market that isn't immediately obvious to outsiders.

>Being able to handle acute stress is not that useful for a civil engineer or similar.

Alas in my particular world (Accounting/auditing) it is. 3 months of soul crushing stress and rest of year is more relaxed. Rinse & repeat.

>Teaching people to handle chronic stress?

That's one saving grace I guess. I find that 3 months of intense stress is bearable. Or rather it's about the limit of my endurance.

Certainly not healthy - talking about this purely practically.
Is HN "indie" enough for this definition?

There are plenty of non-facebook social media platforms. From HN to minecraft forums. Eve-online and hundreds of associated websites is essentially one large social media network. And there are plenty of online communities catering to all the stuff you cannot talk about on facebook (piracy, hacking etc). Teens gather in these places specifically to avoid facebook.

Each of these network nodes is run by an independent person or very small group. I think they together get at least as much traffic as the larger networks do individually. We just don't talk about them as much because they don't collect the statistics that facebook does. They don't market themselves to advertisers like facebook does. They don't seek to spy on their users like facebook does.
The vast majority of free software projects do not have a registered trademark. In cases where a free software project does have a trademark, distributions usually will rename the package (distributions do have lawyers and they will usually kick up a fuss in cases like this).

The case of the Linux mark is really weird, because basically all distributions are given license to use it but almost everyone still specifies that the trademark is owned by Linus.

(Also my example for GitHub was their fork of git, not Linux.)
There might be good arguments on your side, but this post only brings forth "it makes me feel uneasy", which isn't good enough for me.

For one thing, an unconsidered emotional reaction can often be reversed by thinking things through and hearing good arguments from all sides.
Alas, no. The entire recent incident is possibly an echo of what the Russians did to U.S. embassy personnel before[0]. My father worked for U.S. defense contractors in the 60s in a Washington office, and later his young secretary worked for years for the Dept of State in the U.S. embassy in Moscow. She eventually died of brain cancer.

Also, the Russians physically assaulted U.S. embassy personnel who were CIA under diplomatic cover. Right after 9/11, the CIA was on a heavy recruiting campaign so they gave permission for some former agents to tell some (general) stories. The CIA agent who first made contact with Victor Shemov[1][2], then a professor at Texas A&M, told us the story of that night. He had to shake his four man KGB tail, don a disguise, and meet Shemov. When he returned to the U.S. embassy, the KGB intercepted him and beat him to a pulp.

It would be interesting to see what kinds of optimizations they have done in terms of programming languages. For example, Discord releases blog posts now and then on how they squeeze performance out of Elixir
Your statistics don't support your claim. Non-verbal people can use toilets. People with an IQ less than 85% can learn to use toilets. 'Developmental, neurologic, chromosonal and genetic conditions, includes ADHD and dyslexia, neither of which prevents the autonomous use of toilets.

Also, all three of these studies were conducted either before or shortly after the release of the DSM V, and explicitly use the DSM VI diagnostic criteria for autism.:

"Although new diagnostic criteria became available in 2013, the children under surveillance in 2014 would have grown up primarily under the DSM-IV-TR definitions for ASD, which are prioritized in this report."

You seem to be arguing that the relaxed criteria of the DSM V is invalid because the studies on people diagnosed with the stricter methods suggest a more severe condition. This is circular reasoning.
No. The 10 months was based on the $2b+ raised. Tesla reported another $2b+ in cash at end of Q1.

> Sick days? Take as many as you need. I don’t want sick people at the office.

I hire people trained or untrained for my shed manufacturing business. Younger (under 25 years) people try to pull the "my stomach is hurting" and take the rest of the day off. I tell them they need to go see the doctor and bring a note from the doctor excusing the time off they need for their sickness. Otherwise, I don't get decent workweeks out of them younglings.
Haha, no, like most scholastic chess champions I had a super dysfunctional home environment. One parent definitely supported/pushed my chess, and I give credit there where it’s due, but I could only apply the label “good” to either of my parents with some major qualifiers.

Never too late to start training! Neuroplasticity is a thing.

Chess training software is super not saturated. The dominant program, ChessBase, basically hasn’t changed in 20 years. Still no Mac version or decent web version if I’m not mistaken.

There’s a lot of cool things happening in live play and steaming right now with LiChess, which is phenomenal, and chess.com is starting to up its game as well.

But serious training software is stuck in the 90s, hence opportunity. Not that there’s any money in chess, but that’s another topic.
I am sorry for what happened to you. But can you know in advance what having further information would do to your feelings? And there'll always be gaps in that information, even in the case the article was about.

For example, when my father died, I was presented with the option of having an autopsy done to find out just what had killed him. I declined, because it wouldn't change anything. He was just as gone, I'd miss him just as much, and I'd still think about him every day.

That sounds awful. I hope you got a good attorney and only work for the fun of it now.
Optimizations can be fun, but all bets are off when next generation of hardware comes out, and a thousand man-hours spent on compiler/optimizer. And most performance increases the last decade have come from multi-process/threading, while single core execution have actually become slower. I think in the future it will be increasingly more important for algorithms to work in parallel, so the performance can scale with the number of CPU/cores or Moore's law.
I'd say only go with NV GPU on Linux if you really need CUDA. Otherwise it's just pain, at least if you plan on using Wayland.

Affinity Designer also promises precision, but when it comes down to it I find it embarrassingly imprecise, buggy, and lacking in basic functionality. It can’t even do an acceptable job of joining two shapes at a point.

There's a big difference between physical work and knowledge work. Entirely different types of pain.

I've worked 12 hours a day, 7 days a week in construction, it's only physically hard, it's only physical pain. Solving problems and fighting through headaches, loading context into your head, there's real pain, but it's a mental pain instead.

Well yes, but I would attribute the first to simply doing illegal things and getting caught. The data breach just helped them get caught faster. The second, yes, although privacy was literally their number one product and I wouldn't categorize a leak quite the same as a breach.
No, this wont happen. A recession will push the ones on the bottom to unemployement which spirals them into poverty.

Recessions are most cruel to the poor.
I'm afraid you misunderstand. If popular belief is that this happens to somebody because of weakness, or because they are weak people, people will resist talking about it and letting on that they show symptoms ("showing weakness") and there will be no treatment.

Then in real life, some people do react that way when people have the courage to admit to it, and if people are made to believe their symptoms are a character flaw, then again, no treatment, only people feeling bad.

I didn't make this stuff up, I've seen it happen.

And it doesn't happen to people from "their weakness". It is a very jerk move, and absurd, to go anywhere near that phrasing. Just as we don't get cancer or a broken leg from being weak people.

That's a very short sighted opinion. There are plenty of very intelligent doctors that love to live in the countryside.

Due to the sheer larger numbers in urban areas, I'm sure you are likely to have the best of the best in cities, but everyone can't be treated by the top 1% of doctors.
