Debt Relief and Slow Recovery: A Decade After Lehman
I like to watch mindless things and giggle after a full day of working and frying my brain. Sometimes it isn't any deeper than that. I don't understand these misanthropic rants that come out of the HN crowd any time someone even half mentions YouTube.

How to Do Email Marketing Effectively for Real-Time ROI Experience
That’s why when I made my password generator/manager I included the option to generate translate the entropy into various forms including just alphanumeric and english words. https://slaymaker1907.github.io/password/

Not sure how common of a feature that is with most password managers, but I find it incredibly useful. For reference in case anyone wants to use it, my generator works by running scrypt on a master password as well some identifier for the site.
I'm very late to this post, so not sure if you're still around.

What are your thoughts on a poker tournament for bots? Do you think it could turn into a successful product? I've always wanted to build an online poker/chess game that was designed from the ground up for bots (everything being accessible through an API), but have always worried that someone with more computational resources or the best bot would win consistently. Is it an idea you've thought about?
I remember once I was using VNC on my iPhone, in order to remote manage it from my PC. I was using it to run a script on my PC where my mouse would send clicks on specific points in the screen, to keep-alive and send clicks on specific areas for game-botting reasons. When doing so I had the 3G connection off, so when VNC server on my iphone was ON, only the internal wifi network would be able to access the device, and not someone via the 3G IP.
I'd highly recommend reading [Designing Data-Intensive Applications](https://www.amazon.com/Designing-Data-Intensive-Applications...). The book gives you a great overview of designing data systems - foundational knowledge you'll need in any DE role.

The reason you can't find data engineering materials online is because real data engineering really only happens at a handful of companies - and those companies maintain this knowledge base internally and do not share it.

I noticed that you listed tools / frameworks to learn, as well as languages. Another piece of advice would be to not focus on those because they come and go (for example, Hadoop is pretty much deprecated in any DE-heavy company). What lasts is an understanding of distributed systems, distributed query engines, storage technologies, and algorithms & data structures. If you have a firm grasp on those, you won't have to start from scratch every time a new framework is introduced. You'll immediately recognize what problems the tech is solving and how they're solving it, and based on your knowledge you can connect the dots and know if that solution is what you need.

Another thing to do is watch CS186 from Berkeley in its entirety. This course is about relational databases, but will give you the foundation you need to speak the DE language.

The companies that create the wires are already taxed in France. Having "access" to those wires seems a poor basis for taxation - that would imply the whole world should pay the French government tax merely for the privilege of France existing and being connected to the internet at all.

As for access to the legal system? As far as I can tell this is a net negative for them. All I ever hear about around the combination of FAANG+European courts is rather overreaching and abusive attempts to force them to pay lots of money or do lots of things that were never previously required and arguably still aren't under law. I'm sure they would happily lose "access" to the French courts if it meant not paying taxes there - the flow of legislation is so overwhelmingly one way.

People mostly complains about how they handled the situation, not about the product directly (there's many people that say that the product is superior yet will migrate because of their response).

They weren't respectful and they didn't acknowledge their mistake of not showing any warning anywhere (instead deflecting to absurd justification).

> knowing they have recurring revenue gives me confidence that they'll be around for a while.

Recurring revenue is a thing that help sure, but supporting your existing user base (which he was part of) is another one. That thread show how they treat them. That give me confidence that if I get an issue, I'll get treated just as badly.

I'll personally will be looking at an alternative, even though the product is pretty great, support is part of it (and in the case of a password manager, that's quite an important part of it).
Tesla owns a battery factory (which both at the time and in hindsight, was of course the right thing to do; Tesla predicted at a 500k unit/year run rate they would consume worldwide battery production capacity if they did not build their own batteries). Their powertrain sled is years ahead of the competition (per Sandy Munro's teardown). All other automakers are struggling to secure battery supply, and still don't recognize that they're no longer just bolting OE bin parts together, but the powertrain (battery, motors, inverters) must be core of their business (V1 and V2 Superchargers used stacked Model S/X inverters, V3 now uses bespoke [more efficient] power equipment; what other auto manufacturer is designing and building their own charge infrastructure?).

It is unlikely a partnership would provide any value to Tesla unless a legacy automaker would like to hand over their manufacturing capacity.
Now you are a hacker.

VC4 works great in 64-bit, I've had WebGL running on some browser under Weston on ArchLinuxARM on a Pi3. I would expect V3D (VideoCore 5/6) to work out of the box on 64-bit too. Mesa very rarely introduces any unportable code – e.g. RadeonSI pretty much just works on FreeBSD/aarch64 :)

Don't you think self driving car will have added cost due to its technology, so that mostly ride sharing is affordable ?
So I've recently started driving a Model 3 and am a Tesla and Musk fanboy. That being said, I can still acknowledge things that are wrong.

The major issue is people depending too much on the system. I think it's great that the 'autopilot nag' is much harsher than in the US (except for low speeds, in stop and go, it's flawless and nags too much here). The static object thing is an issue, yes, but it's massively overblown by people who tend not to drive a Tesla, because the driver can easily spot them (if they're paying attention) and apply corrective measures. I say this, because as of right now, Autopilot is a driving aid, not a replacement. (Yes, people have something to say about marketing, but that's a different discussion.)

To me, the biggest issues with Autopilot (as it is supposed to be used today), are phantom braking and unexpected steering inputs. These require instant correction, are completely unpredictable and have the ability to scare other drivers or even cause crashes. Also, they happen a lot. Finding static objects on a highway is much less common than just driving on a straight road while being tailgated and therefore the impact is much bigger.

Another thing is Autopilot unexpectedly disabling and the driver not being aware, because the indicator is not that clear. Sometimes it's a pleasant sound and if you don't look at the screen because you pay attention to the road, you might miss the visual indicator.

Outside of the US, the major issue is that it's being built for the US and isn't fully adapted to non-US roads and rules. The 'Emergency Lane Departure Avoidance' feature (enabled by default before every drive) caused massive issues in the Netherlands on roads that have shared bike lanes. Also, in the Netherlands we have 'rush hour lanes', which are actually the hard shoulder, which is temporarily designated as a lane, as indicated by a green arrow over the lane. Autopilot doesn't know this and wants to move over, because it thinks the lane ends.

To get back to your point, static object recognition is a small thing to overcome and is, so it seems to me, massively inflated by media that are heavily opinionated against Tesla. There's a much bigger problem in getting it working for every country and every weird situation. And there are things that humans do that I expect will be hard to pick up in an automated system. For example: spotting the driver next to you playing on the phone and passing for safety, seeing headlights reflected in a window and knowing a car is about to round a corner, etc.
I guess because of the high cost involved, middle east has same sunlight, same ocean and only thing which differs is the money they posses due to petrochemical exports.
That's true, but it would also be true of a desktop app using an offline vault, and is also true of all the other desktop apps you run. The risk of someone running malicious code on your machine is a reason to use two factor auth, not a reason to avoid cloud storage for encrypted files.

Does the the application basically pass data to a user script (the user knows JS so it is useful for them?), and then the JS returns the data after processed?

Amusingly I asked the question and remembered that I actually worked on (supported) a hardware product that did this to some extent. It was a disaster as the scripting language would eat memory / cpu and crash the box ;)
That's not what I'm saying at all! I'm firstly criticising the use of a particular rhetorical device that I think has become ineffective, and secondly pointing out the inconsistency when those that would advocate all kinds of draconian interventions in our daily lives yet refuse hysterically any contemplation whatsoever of controlling our numbers as a species.
No it's not, what are you talking about? I've met thousands of young Europeans and ones that speak 4 languages are extremely rare. Unless they're from countries where they get 2 languages "for free" like Holland/Belgium/Switzerland. Definitely not "pretty normal".

What Programmers Can Learn from Rappers
Yes, and people used to dump sewage in the streets before we developed sewage systems. The whole point I'm making is that "status quo" is a terrible excuse for something.

I know that voters are generally a pretty toxic cocktail of stupid and self-interested[1], but what I was describing is that IME pro-car issues tend to be a whole nother level, where the fig leaf of pretending to care about the tradeoffs of the costs to society of one's actions is entirely dropped.

> Public transit is viable when your cities look like New York or Chicago. You put a little train station in a walkable/bikeable suburb, and then put all the jobs downtown. Most post-WWII cities don’t look anything like that. In those cities, it’s entirely rational to cater primarily to cars, because most people couldn’t use public transit and biking even if they wanted to.

Absolutely agree that cars have an important place in any transportation system; I'm not some pro-transit zealot that wants to ban cars and make everyone in the suburbs take buses[2].

But if you've paid any attention to any transportation policy discussions anywhere in the country, it'd be clear that that's not what I'm talking about: the fetish for cars rears its head all along the spectrum of density, including in the densest, most transit-suited parts of the country. We're a million miles away from a level-headed analysis of the costs, benefits, and feasibility of different transportation systems, and that's largely driven by the collective idiocy/selfishness of pro-car voters. Look at any transpo discussion in public or in private, and the status quo bias means that people systematically downplay and ignore the costs of car- and parking-centric policy while systematically exaggerating those of transit, bike lanes etc. (this isn't even close to balanced out by the horrific mismanagement of our big transit project boondoggles).

[1] To be clear, self-interest is a normal and important part of democratic decision-making; what I'm describing here is the subjective point past which we as a society consider the damage done to society from individual self-interest to be unusually selfish.

[2] though you're mistaken about the binary of requiring high density for transit to be useful: the Northeast is a perfect example of lower levels of density than NYC/Chicago making good use of things like commuter rail, often in concert with cars)
> Source?

"Source" is not a magic incantation that invalidates a statement. When subsidies change, price goes up, we have seen that repeatedly happening in the German electricity market, most prominently with the EEG.

> environmental impact for the end users that will still be alive by then?

You try to derail my point by underhandedly claiming I want more coal, which is false. I am pro-nuclear until we get fusion (also technically a nuclear technology) working. "But the costs are hidden, deconstruction will have to be paid by the taxpayer". Maybe - but when we were nuclear and before we installed bird-shredding and insect-killing wind farms, before we made everyone pay for large amounts of money to gift to rich homeowners to put solar on their roofs, electricity was considerably cheaper.

> What exactly is ridiculous about a price that reflects the actual costs?

The actual cost of power generation apparently can be a lot lower, because the hypercapitalist US pays about a third of our price.

Also, if you need to prop up an energy source with money, obviously it is not cost-effective.

> If you are paying 40 US cents per kWh for electricity in .de, then that's because you chose to, not because that's the market price.

I pay about 46 Eurocents per kilowatt hour, or around 52 US-Cents, with EnBW (900 kw/h per year[1], fixed costs factored in). Arguably, I could lower that to about 42 Eurocents per kilowatt hour if I change to Yello, who are famous for buying large amounts of nuclear electricity. Which, btw, is about to end here. With my low consumption, savings of about 36 Euros are just not worth it.

[1] So here I am - a single who moved to a small flat, all the lights are LEDs (which are considerably more expensive than the old ones), cooking rarely, enterntainment coming from a low-wattage laptop, actually turning off everything before leaving the flat ... I have done my part. I won't be painted as some kind of environmental monster or a right-winger because I do not support risking the social cohesion of our society to provide for some people's green renewable fantasies.

> So ... we should implement right-wing politics so that right-wing politics doesn't win?

So, what exactly is right-wing in not making the price of electricity rise to appease some crypto-right-wing Greens?
In advice, I look for actionable details, leverage, and credibility? Is the advice detailed enough that it can be turned into a plan without too much work? Is the advice something that leads to gains that greatly exceed the effort invested? Does the advice come from someone who knows their shit?

It only matters if the underrun is in the middle of a message, and the messages are short enough to fit in the buffer whole. I'm sure there are already libraries for driving WS2812b from Pi, such as from Adafruit. Certainly the WS2801 library works.
Well VW is due to release cars based on their new electric platform this year and the next few years going forward. They are called id https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/e-mobility/en.html. I don't think they are necessarily late. BMW and Mercedes have made similar investments in all electric platforms. They are all basically going full force in that direction now and have been for a few years. Note that VWs platform will find its way into cars of all of their other brands (SEAT, Skoda and so on).

BMWs CEO left recently because he did not execute quickly enough on their electric strategy squandering their initial lead.

It's not like anyone is forced to use their distro. It's newbie-oriented and extremely annoying for Unix geeks anyway (Debian base with its always-outdated packages, etc)

It's far more attractive, in my opinion, and I use both on a daily basis and I have far fewer frustrations with 1PW.

Strategically it seems to make sense to cooperate so as to have more cash to compete with Waymo, Telsa and Ford. Their joint sales are ~ 16.6m vehicles/year so even if they spend a bunch that's not so much per car compared with Waymo and Tesla for similar spend.
This is a very good resource. The one thing I would ask is that I would like to see examples of using DifferentialEquations.jl when you get to the section on dynamical systems, especially when doing discrete event simulation and stochastic differential equations. I opened an issue in the repo and we can continue discussing there (I'll help write the code, I want to use this in my own class :P)!
You're probably right, I'm too optimistic.

Perhaps the better model is army ants, or driver ants. I read they will sweep through a village and kill or drive out roaches, spiders, mice, and other vermin. The human inhabitants welcome them. Like all ants and termites, they're individually dumb, but the colony can accomplish a lot. So maybe the answer is thousands of one-inch crawling robots which bite anything that moves.

Wait - is the VC4/V3D driver open source? I feel like I missed that bit.

So basically, I should just cross compile RPi Linux and Mesa and it should work?

Interesting thought, I like to think about how there is an inherent juxtaposition of selfishness and selflessness required in evolution itself, and the manifestation of that "perfect conflict" from a non-thinking (un-intelligent) evolving line to a (intelligent )thinking yet still driven by evolution, line.

"In general Swedes accept taxes" overlooks some rather important facts.

Firstly, "in general" is very vague. There are famous cases of rich Swedes who don't want to pay Swedish taxes and successfully avoid doing so. IKEA's tax structure is legendary isn't it?

Secondly, Sweden has cut taxes in the recent past:

https://iea.org.uk/blog/how-high-tax-sweden-abolished-its-di...

Obviously many Swedes weren't happy with high tax rates.

In this very left-wing article about how Swedes love paying very high tax rates, it is observed:

https://www.theguardian.com/money/2008/nov/16/sweden-tax-bur...

'The median voter is a woman who works for the public sector, and around two-thirds of the electorate draw most of their income from the state, either because they work in the public sector or draw benefits from it.'

So yes the average Swede is a net recipient of tax money and is thus going to think taxes are awesome. Obviously in a world where a minority are forced to pay for the living costs of the majority, "in general" the population will believe it's a good system. But is a good idea or sustainable over the long term, let alone moral?
