It is a bit misleading to use an ASP number from 2018 as a measure of demand since they weren't delivering the entire range of vehicles at that tine. Tesla started out focusing on the cars with a high price and margin which artificially increased the ASP over where it would naturally settle. Therefore a decrease from that initial high is not any type of indicator of demand.

I’ve probably traveled through Breezewood a few hundred times over the decades. What’s strange to me is that it never seems to change. The photo from 2008 looks pretty much the same as now. And, it looked pretty much the same in 1990. With all that traffic, why isn’t there more there?

I’ve used Anki pretty consistently throughout my university studies for just about every course. I plan to continue using it to keep a high level overview of some of the important maths concepts I want to stay fresh on.

I’ve been enjoying Mochi[0] as an alternative recently. It has a much nicer UI and the core features I use are all there. I find it much faster to create my cards in Markdown and with a keyboard driven workflow than what I had with Anki.

I’ve been a design consultant for well over a decade now, and the vast amount of times that I’ve seen a carousel in production, it has been primarily a political tool. It’s a way to make everyone be front and center.

Of course, given the affordances of carousels, it means that no one is actually in the spotlight.

It’s been relatively easy to get rid of when it’s more of an “accident” than a political tool (or the result of the CEO/PM saying “can you make it more dynamic”), but when it’s tied to internal politics, it’s much harder to get rid of.

We need to first get serious about definitions and goals. The first step is to move away from calling it climate change to climate affectation. Climate change is a trap prone opening where people ask: do you believe in climate change? If answering in the negative, you are branded anti-science when your answer meant that you do not believe in significant anthropogenic climate change or some variant therein, which allows for healthy debates. If we can start from here we can start to have discussions.

Next, we need to lay out what we can and want to do: reduce CO2, capture CO2, or not care about CO2 and put a sun visor up in space. Then we need to identify what is politically feasible, not some Kyoto or Paris accords nonsense, we are talking people are going to do it; a good example is CO2 reduction enforcement in China, no matter what we say the other countries are doing, China does not care more than lip service, just like USSR and India, about the environment at their developmental stage. If you are not willing to go to war (economically or confrontationally) with China to make them follow the world rules, then everything everyone else does is worthless. If you want an example of the timidity you start at, look to Iran and its flouting of rules it agreed to abide to on nuclear weapon development and this is a country with a stated goal of destroying other countries.

Next, an honest discussion about energy sources. Solar and wind need to be dropped as energy sources, it is perfect for people on their houses, but solar kills natural landscapes and wind kills birds. The battery storage is not going anywhere and we are not providing an answer with these technologies to base generation. Nuclear energy may not be economically viable, but it is the one that is environmentally viable and should be given the subsidies we funnel to the companies; looking at you Solyndra.

Finally, as a thought experiment, what is the unaffected climate change that would have occurred and if we go below that rate with our actions, do we undo that?
CSV.

Just kidding, but I suspect it would be a lot faster.
Given the vast number of cultures which Islam has made into victims of "cultural genocide", it's not hard to sympathize with the Chinese on that matter.
Maybe they should make compiling the Rust compiler faster. Right now it takes longer and uses more CPU and memory than compiling a whole LLVM toolchain, then using that toolchain to compile a whole kernel and OS.

> "I was able to ask my PhD college, and several other institutions, to see all emails in which my name appeared ..."

How are different people with the same name distinguished in these cases?

Name might be (almost) unambiguous for some people, but lots of us have many, many namesakes. Is the institution required to reliably tell apart which of the messages were meaning the person making the information request, and which were talking about someone else? What are the penalties for leaking emails that were discussing someone else who has the same name?

Are you seriously suggesting that something that does require you to pay attention to a screen entire time you're using it (and touchscreen in a moving vehicle is not the easiest thing to operate even when you're not the one driving) is less distracting that something that is operable entirely by touch?

I'll stick with my experience trying to operate both. ANd I'll stick with cars that have real controls. Not that there were much reliable data yet, what with Tesla being pretty much the only ones who made something like that. Their crash statistics aren't all that impressive, BTW, but it is hard to discern which ones are pure accidents, and which ones are tied to controls, or AutoPilot, or general stupidity.

It will be interesting to see crash statistics of e-Tron vs. regular Q series, though, that would give some apples to apples comparison options.But then that assumes that Audi can actually sell a meaningful number of them...
Matrix would be a good fit for most research institutions, allowing cooperation trough federation. Heck, even Mastodon could be interesting, and ActivityPub as a transport layer for publications.

However, one issue is that small institutions cannot afford to self-host everything, or make the necessary adjustments themselves. I wonder if CERN and other big institutions could perform some heavy lifting (and maybe provide some shared services, hosting servers, etc.) without necessarily centralizing everything like it is done nowadays.
I think people should keep a few things in mind.

First, we have only one side of the story. The claim is the advisor never spoke to her about the problems he had with her, and we shouldn't simply assume the claim is true. OTOH, I can easily believe it is, given my experience in grad school. While some professors were quite fussy about quality in the thesis, others accepted that most PhD's (in engineering) are not targeting scientific research after the degree, and lower the standards to allow them to graduate. But they absolutely will not support such people in getting a research position at a university or a government lab. Some are open about it: "If you're targeting research and want my recommendations for that endeavor, this is what you need to do. If not, then all you need is X, Y and Z." Unfortunately, not all advisors are as frank.

Also keep in mind that the person may well have been a very competent researcher, while simultaneously being hard to work with. It's quite fair to point it out when asked, and it's quite fair to disrecommend someone because of it.

I don't think the article presents any evidence of active blacklisting, where one is going out of their way to tell everyone (without solicitation) "Don't hire this person!"

Finally, the real issue: What role should references play in the hiring process? I personally would love a world where we never rely on letters of recommendation and references - I think they are the weakest link in the hiring process. However, if we do accept references/letters of recommendation, then everything in the article is fair game. If you ever asked someone what they thought of a candidate before hiring them, you are part of the same culture that this person's advisor is.
Very few Americans demonstrate the level of ignorance displayed by previous poster. In fact the level of paranoia and distrust can be almost palpable.

Things like Vietnam and Snowden are why so many people in our country treat things like gun rigts as a quasi-religion. Fear of the citizenry is one of the few remaining serious checks on government power they believe we have.

However, based on personal experience, only 20-30% of people really realize the level of propaganda we have been subjected to our entire lives. One of the big reasons for this is because USA was the pioneer in government and corporate propaganda. They have been doing it so long and spent so much money on it that it's practically a art form.

In fact I doubt 1 in 10 people every really thought about the fact that the entire economy of the WWW is almost exclusively based on propaganda in the form of advertisements. Public Relations Departments used to be called Propaganda departments before the Nazis came along and turned it into a bad word.

But even then it's not lost on a great deal of Americans that the only people in the past 40 years who have ever gone to jail for war crimes, torturing, and other forms of criminal malfeasance on the Federal level are the ones that exposed it to the public.

In TC39, we specified BigInt to not participate in JSON by default, precisely because emitting it as a native JSON number would not be able to be read back by JSON.parse() and many other environments would also not be able to parse it without extra logic if they simply use IEEE754 double.

I explicitly asked for and achieved step 2. in the modified SerializeJSONProperty algorithm[1] so that users could decide and opt-in to serializing BigInts as strings if they so choose, with or without some sigil that could be interpreted by a reviver function. e.g.:

> JSON.stringify(BigInt(1))
TypeError: Do not know how to serialize a BigInt
...
> BigInt.prototype.toJSON = function() { return this.toString(); }
> JSON.stringify(BigInt(1))
'"1"'

I am truly sorry for your situation. I wish you all the best with being able to get the support needed, push science and open research forward and potentially save your child (and many more human beings) from this immense suffering.

However...

> Birth defects affect one in every 33 babies (about 3% of all babies) born in the United States each year. [1]

Why do we keep having children? Every life comes with a death sentence and immense amount of suffering. This child will have more than average.

Any rational or self-proclaimed rational human would quickly decide against these odds. Did you not know them? How do you decide to have children having this probability of impact (if people actually decide or we are just biological machines following our animalistic trend).

Overpopulation is the same as obesity crisis - lack of control.

But don't take it from me, here is why RMS won't have children [2]

Apart from all that, having a child way, way overshadows any other effort on climate change [3]. Deciding not to have JUST ONE child and you will "deserve" multiple transatlantic travels, cars, eating meat, not recycling and more...

If you can afford it and can controll yourself at all - stop having children.

For the couple(s) that already crossed that treshold - again, all the best. For the couple(s) that haven't and know this information and then you suffer - it's on you.

Flag me all you want because I wrote that in anger. But get the message around somehow.

Scale also matters.

According to your link about one thousand people were sent to Guantanamo. Right now in the region of Xinjiang about 1 million Uyghurs are being held in re-education camps (about 10% of the Uyghur population of the region).

Even if the USA compare terribly to the (rest of?) civilized world regarding human rights, as a non-American and non-Chinese I fear less the US government than the Chinese. (The fact that I'm not from a Middle East country probably helps...)

> Also, if you are literally having HTTP 400s internally, why aren't you using some kind of actual RPC mechanism? Do you like pain?

I just had a discussion about this yesterday where we have an internal JSON API that auths a credit card, and if the card is declined it returns a status and a message. Another developer wanted it to return a 4xx error, but that made me uneasy. I think you could make a good argument either way, but to me that isn't a failure you'd present at the HTTP layer. 4xx is better than 5xx, but I was still worried how intermediate devices would interfere. (E.g. an AWS ELB will take your node out of service if it gives too many 5xxs, and IIS can do some crazy things if your app returns a 401.) Also I don't want declined cards to show up in system-level monitoring. But what do other folks think? I believe smart people can make a case either way.

They explain the reason in README:

usbrip works with non-modified structure of system log files only, so, unfortunately, it won't be able to parse USB history if you change the format of syslogs (with syslog-ng or rsyslog, for example). That's why the timestamps of "Connected" and "Disconnected" fields don't have the year, by the way. Keep that in mind.

From the UK's ICO on the GDPR:

> Domestic purposes – personal data processed in the course of a purely personal or household activity, with no connection to a professional or commercial activity, is outside the GDPR’s scope. This means that if you only use personal data for such things as writing to friends and family or taking pictures for your own enjoyment, you are not subject to the GDPR.

"Your private emails" are therefore not covered by the GDPR.

Unless your definition of "your" private emails includes those you send in your work capacity?
>Is there a way to know that the present chips are not backdoored?...

As a practical matter, that's largely irrelevant to us in the West. The world that's shaping up is a world where we won't be able to get those processors in any case.
Like a lot of chip desicions, this one is based on the effects of the process node in question. So the answer is probably when a company gets to TSMC 7nm while being capable of the high end bonding on the package substrate between chips, at a per chip gate count probably close to the ryzen cpu chips. Before then, it doesn't really make sense.
The Issue of Negative Zero
I don't think I've ever used an app that was less intuitive and less user friendly than snap. That's probably why.
I suppose it literally "could be only be one place", but it looks almost identical to thousands of small towns across the US. My entire childhood roadtrip experience was up and down the west coast on I-5, and you could absolutely convince me this was somewhere like Grant's Pass, OR, if not for the signs with PA route information on them. You'd have to convince me a chain or two (Perkins, Sunoco) expanded westward in the past few years, but that wouldn't take much doing.

I still don't quite follow this line:

> "highway planners designed a looping interchange that lets drivers avoid the turnpike if they (hypothetically) want to"

That seems no different from any other exit (you could hypothetically avoid any toll road by exiting and stopping and just staying wherever you are), but I guess the actual 'bypass' function of this road in the real world is less important than what it's come to be.
Of course not. They're there just for the paycheck...

But on a more serious note his approach on dealing with the fallout was borderline illegal (saying this since he's not in prison). When you take the lion's share of the payouts (between salary and bonuses) you should have to take the lion's share of responsibility.

Every commentary I have read about the situation says it was entirely preventable. This starts at the top, with picking the right people and setting a strategy that creates the perfect conditions for that prevention. Obviously he failed. And once he failed he tried to hide it. We shouldn't read about how much money he's taking home but how much he's paying back and how many years of prison he gets.
If the internet loves this they need to go to Houston. This is every intersection.
Well, I'm proclaiming free will doesn't exist. Neuroscience exhibits supporting evidence that we don't have free will. There hasn't been anything exhibiting that we have free will.

Your rhetoric that nothing matters could have been used when people assumed the world was flat and others were challenging that popular assumption. Nonetheless, the world gets better overtime and when people have a realistic understanding of reality.

So change does happen but yes it's going to happen whether we like it to or not. That's a thrilling thing to observe and to be aware of that nature of reality is a good thing.

No, they should be rehabilitated and educated of the cause & effect for their actions. Otherwise humanity is failing the unfortunate that didn't have any real control.
I once made anki flashcards while reading a book on linux. I think I was able to memorize a lot of useful CLI utilities because of that. It also helped me stay motivated to get through a very dry book.
I guess it is pointless to argue about what topics are the most relevant. This "vital articles" list seems completely arbitraty and, frankly, not very important.
That's kind of ironic. I was doing paid contract work in 1994 (on Linux!) that involved customizing the open source CERN httpd server (before Apache existed, or loadable modules in a web server).
For me this only started happening after I offered feedback aka "Don't show me ads like this any more."
