Or maybe - just maybe - Tesla is actually a poorly run business that objectively has seen a dip over time in stock price and tremendously wasteful spending (see nearly empty Buffalo gigafactory or the highly automated assembly line for Model 3’s that was abandoned after who knows how many tens of millions spent on it).

I agree that corporations have undue influence on media, but come on. Tesla isn’t making their critics’ jobs very hard. Reporting the truth sounds pretty bad already. But sure, maybe it is all a conspiracy by clandestine cells of writers recruited by Big Oil. And they’re doing a great job, since multiple electric vehicles are coming to market more and more each year across all brands.

We're witnessing a party re-alignment in real time.
Long term, if Ukraine succeeds, it'll be because of pragmatic politicians like Zelensky. Not because of anti-Russian fervor.

And if HK and China do eventually become liberal democracies, it'll be because of gradual change within the Chinese government.

I'm personally very optimistic about their long term prospects, I just think history has taught us that violent revolution or sudden change usually leads to negative consequences in the short to mid term. There's more than enough examples in our lifetime.

On the other hand, most of the economic gains, the reduction of poverty around the world, the economic development of Europe, Asia and Africa have all been done thanks to the rule of law, relative peace, investment, etc... Not due to revolution.
That would require the ability to specify the username somehow, would it not, e.g. using tptacek@github.com:… and example@github.com:… instead of git@github.com:…?
This article paints 1.4 billion people with a broad brush. I have met personally highly talented and bright people in China like in many other nations. So I feel this is really not fine if you try to say they don't understand. The reason people in China do not agree with Hong Kong protestors is first about nationalism, they think Hong Kong protestors are attacking China's sovereignty and independence, indeed many put slogans for the same and carried flags of other countries. Even if it might be 1-2% of the protestors, they were widely supported by local media and protestors by justifying their action.

If Hong Kong protestors just followed the path of non violence without attacking China's sovereignty or accepting that they are first Chinese citizen and showing their discontent, it would have been different.

Why Hong Kong is protesting is another reason, which still has roots in economic dissatisfaction.

Instead of having a vault with just 100M euros, it probably makes more sense economically to build a huge vault that can store billions of euros, and then charge people to use the vault.

I partly agree with you but this is a separate issue. Whether or not the cap table is known is unrelated to the legality of deliberately driving all common holders to (or near) zero in the way described by the parent comment.
This isn't the first set of protests in HK, and they all have a universal thread: Issues with mainland oversight of HK

The extradition bill is just the latest one.

Many protestors have explicitly called for independence. Most are simply demanding things that are not possible with HK as a mainland managed province with the current powers that be in Beijing, and I can't imagine that they don't know this - it's a de facto desire for independence.

If the ROC was magically in charge, then HK probably wouldn't care about being independent.

Product manager / CPO etc. It would be a shame to let your analytical skills go to waste* and a real understanding of software engineering is is incredibly helpful to both you & the engineering teams you work with.

Another one that could be very interesting is Financial Operations in a Fintech company. Fintech companies led by finance-types typically have woeful software. Theres a great opportunity to really automate finance operations and give fintechs of this type a knee up on the competition.

If you want to look at recent trends, it’s hard to say the electoral college is helping Republicans. A lot of states have only voted in one direction since Bush Sr (the last republican to win CA). If you take those results for granted going forward, a Democrat needs to swing 83 votes to become president, and a Republican needs to swing 173. If Trump hadn’t flipped Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan for the first time since Bush Sr, Democrats would typically only need to swing 44 votes to win.

It’s also hard to say this is even problematic in general. The winner of the popular vote has only lost 5 times in history (or 6 depending on who you ask about 1960), and not by large margins either. But you can’t take this to mean that the results would have been different if the election was to be decided by popular vote to begin with. Currently Republican candidates have little incentive to campaign in CA or NY, and Democrat candidates have little incentive to campaign in TX. If the outcome was to be decided by popular vote to begin with, there’s no way to say that the outcomes would have been any different.
Some systems will have stricter latency requirements than that -- microseconds, always, no exceptions (e.g. studio audio, network packet processing, industrial controls). Others will have maximizing throughput as a goal (e.g. x264). In both cases CPU cache could be a bottleneck and GC would be the enemy.
It isn't, though. Any deal has to make sense for everyone who has to agree to it.

E.g. my last time around-- there was a deal that would have paid back investors and even paid a little to employees... but the acquirer would have required key technical staff to stick around.

The only way that deal would have gotten done would be if it was possible to carve out enough funds for those key technical staff. (It wasn't, so instead it was an asset sale that did not pay back investors).
If a state votes for the popular winner then they are already going to give their electoral votes to that winner, right? For the people of the state, this basically diluted the impact their vote has (kind of self evident, since that is the point of the electoral college)

This ultimately depends on your situation. I would have said Flutter since it is 1.0 and RN is still in beta. But my main problem here is that you will quickly run into difficulty in attempting to use C/C++ libraries in Dart.

Dart has beta support for native FFI but it is not stable unlike RN. Right now, they instead have 'Platform Channels' which has a significant overhead when passing messages back and forth compared to a native FFI. The issue is still open on Github: https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/7053

I can reuse and port my JavaScript/TypeScript projects into mobile very quickly thanks to React Native. Flutter on the other hand, requires learning Dart which depending on your use-case makes sense if it is a new project, not so if you have invested in JavaScript.

Perhaps once Dart gains a production-level C/C++ FFI, then I can seriously look at both Dart and Flutter again.
No body knows, but looking at geography gives a good idea of what future house prices will be. Is there a limit on land (surrounded by mountains, water, or similar)? If so, then house prices will go up, and new property will have to be built up instead of out. Both Seattle and the SF/Bay Area are like this.

Now, if you expect an economic down turn, there might be less people working and people who can't afford their mortgage, but imho that's not going to dent house prices in areas like these much, unless the downturn is for something like a decade. However, cities with sprawl or are effected heavily due to downturn will have a more variable price. A notable example is Las Vegas, where the majority of the industry is funded through tourism.
Yes, but if only the tooling was too complicated, it would not be too bad. IMAO the entire front-end JS world is one big pile of MISERY, complicated is not the word or the problem at all.

Not 1 year you can write the same kind of code (professionally), every month new libraries you have to use, always a new framework or cloud service on the horizon, always a new hype in the making. And if all the new things in the JS world would be great solutions it could be awesome (maybe). But the reality learns that it only gets more complex and tiresome every day. Juggling with design patterns, not because they are a better solution than the design pattern you were using before, no, it's because some famous JS artist came up with an 'idea' and the entire JS herd is following it blindly. Think you can still write in the old fashion? Nope, PR declined! You protest? Beware of the company politics, the herd always wins.

Oh btw, I guess the title is inappropriate, JS is deprecated, it's Typescript now! Not sure for how long, but the jobs where you can write JS are disappearing. So web developers are now forced to write in another language, with all it's brand new issues and pain points. Nice! Did I have problems with types in JS? Hardly, but that doesn't count, I now write about 20% more code to get the same result and regularly spend a few hours to get a basic line of code working because the TS compiler complains. It goes on and on, really, unbelievable.. Web development took all the love I had for programming away.. And I acknowledge it is a great recipe for burn-out, if you fancy that.

I originally came from C++ and recently went back to it after 8 years of web development. I totally unexpected rediscovered my joy for programming. I can code things again that actually work and are understandable, without all those black boxes of magic that are pure hell when something goes wrong. I gave up on it, it's not for me.. But still, I can imagine when you're young you can kind of enjoy the JS(TS) world with all those new and exiting things.
That's a great link, thanks!
I don't agree with this. Over the last few years I've watched the JS universe coalesce largely around three points:

- Structural, optional typing is good. Use it. TypeScript seems to have de facto "won", but just use something; the very act of thinking about input and output types tends towards better code and you always have the flexibility, within your module boundaries, to go outside the type system if need be.

- Structured, functional-or-mostly-so view libraries make your system less fragile. Use them. React, Vue, whatever. They discourage your developers from making tag soup; this is a good enough reason. (Yes, there are some people on the "vanilla JS" train, but there are reasons it's a minority group--it's harder, you run the very real risk of making a worse thing, and there's less out there to bail you out if you get yourself into a corner.)

- Do the work up front: lint aggressively, format consistently, run coverage tests, and so on. It's an investment in correct code, and get in the habit early.

What you use matters less in putting into effect good practices. Why you use it and what they do matter much more.
It's a very interesting thing they are doing though, one must admit. It really highlights to me the fact that pricing long-term leases is really hard. Companies (the tenants) are living, breathing things that change and evolve. Their staffing and office needs are constantly changing. Not to mention changes in remote working, be it 100% remote companies, or satellites within larger companies. This makes matching supply and demand difficult, and it's a problem for owners of commercial real estate that isn't going away. Lost revenue due to vacancy is uncomfortable for them to stomach - they will pay a premium for known cash flows.

You are right in that there is risk to what WeWork is doing, but if it's a hard enough problem, the premium paid by owners may be big enough to provide an acceptable margin of error. Secondly, perhaps there is a valid hedging mechanism? Third, does their large network and brand give them a competitive advantage at top of the funnel such that they can charge a higher risk-premium (spread) to owners?

We shall see.
The reason Java is no longer a system-wide framework, and the assumption that it is has to change, has nothing to do with the recent shift from a semi-free/semi-paid JDK to a 100% free one, and everything to do with the fact that the entire software ecosystem has changed and Java must change with it. Desktop OSes encourage the app store model, and people deploy server applications in containers; neither of these is particularly hospitable to a system-wide runtime. The majority of both developers and end-users prefer a bundled deployment model that fits better with the current software environment (and also gives developer better control over their application's dependencies). If Oracle were to support popular deployment options as well as those that were popular years ago but some people still like, it would come at the expense of other things, like moving the platform forward.

Not really, it balances the power. The knob that can be turned is the number of electoral votes each state has. Whereas changing it to the popular vote would favor the populous states, and remove the knob completely, so there'd be no path to balancing the power between small and large states in national elections.
Even if they disclose cap table upon hiring (which i agree likely they won't) - they are not obligated to keep doing that. So 1-2 yrs down the road - the picture will quietly deviate away from employee's rosy dreams and harsh reality will become visible upon (low probability) exit.
> For example. the protesters in HK was not even put into prison for some of their violent actions, and if that's not enough I really can't say more.

I'm neither educated nor motivated enough to argue with most of this. But preventing China from punishing HK people according to China's laws is the _entire point_ of the protests, is it not?
Yeah. SignalFX is great! I'm happy for them.

But also, dammit. Splunk will destroy it.

Instead of raging against. Perhaps consider solutions.

Example: In Japan, the plastic film label is perforated no glue is utilized. It is fairly easily removed.

More difficult simply tossing a bottle, sure.

Think for a moment instead of raging. 2500 variations does not mean 2500 different recycling rules. There are more than 2500 variations of your potential mate, that doesn't mean there's 2500 different ways to mate.

It is a consumer problem, consumers will have to deal with the results.
For them wouldn't a tech company and a software company be synonymous? It seems like software is by far the easiest way to create the growth they're after.

I want to point out that Hong Kong people tried every way they can before this protest. They are aware the consequence.
Former Marine here...the A10 is AWESOME. Nothing matches it. It has a huge amount of firepower, can take a beating and can stay in the area for a relatively long period of time. Grunts have a fondness for these planes.
It seems absurd that the cost of storing physical notes should have an impact on workable interest rates. Surely if the government wanted to allow you to sock away vast sums of money, they should provide a secure electronic sock and avoid the destruction of wealth that is your security costs.

And conversely, if they didn't want to provide the bed for you to keep your money under because it would defeat their interest rate policies, they should (and might) make putting money under beds illegal.

It just doesn't make sense for the sizes of socks and beds and cash denominations, and the security of locks, and the wages of security guards to determine macroeconomic policy.
The electoral college is a fault domain for voter fraud, and scaler to mitigate differences in voter accessibility, which cannot otherwise be fully mitigated given differences in geography.

Having a very simple API is not at odds with security, though. A simple API could automatically seed from the OS and then run a tiny loop with sha2 or sha3, for example.
If you're in the US, give two weeks' notice.

It's less about the company, and more about your reputation with those around you. Other people are probably fleeing the sinking ship too, but you want them to remember you as a person who at least tried to do the right thing. Walk out with no notice, and that'll be something they remember - and not in a good way - not something you want when they're about to hop into the hiring pool too.
First of all it’s 2 and not 12 pb. But more importantly the search doesn‘t go through those 2 pb. The search goes through the different ‚experiments‘ (or whatever you call that) and the dataset for one of those experiments may easily be hundreds of gb. Your hits are ‚experiments‘ not the content of those large datasets obtained during the experiment... this reduces the size of the search index by several orders of magnitude compared to the datasets itself. So if for instance each dataset was 10gb in avg, you‘d ‚only‘ be going through roughly 20000 entries. So letˋs make a very conservative estimate of the lower and upper bounds, say something like 2000-2000000 entries (although 2 mio. datasets/experiments would be A LOT - like 500 experiments each day since 2008. Anyway, that being the search feels snappy indeed, which is nice. I agree with the other comment that ES is a good guess.
>If Hong Kong protestors just followed the path of non violence without attacking China's sovereignty or accepting that they are first Chinese citizen and showing their discontent, it would have been different.

I don't think it's clear that the protestors started the violence. Most reports seem to indicate otherwise.

I also don't know that it's reasonable to expect people who were born and raised in HK when the governance was different and without mainland influence to accept that they should just allow the PRC to change their way of life and rule of law.

And of course there is an economic aspect to it. But much of that is due to industries such as finance beginning to withdraw from HK - there is too much uncertainty there. Beijing has begun exerting influence long before they agreed to with the handover treaty, and there is a general fear that they will continue to accelerate this.

I don't see any way that the PRC loses this, however. International observers aren't going to step in, and the rich in powerful in HK will simply leave, as they have been.
This is an interesting point. The EC provides a kind of process isolation, in theory.

Election fraudsters and hackers hoping to control the outcome of an election have to make big splashes in small ponds, so to speak. It seems intuitive then, that their shenanigans are more likely to be noticed - and are at least somewhat contained if they aren't.

If we're going down the "1 person, 1 vote" road, that isolation vanishes. No more big splashes needed - only very small droplets in a vast, vast ocean.
It's possible that the author meant 'multi-threaded memory changes, and multi-threaded tabs' rather than 'tabs' alone. And it's true that chrome DID introduce threaded tabs afaik.
The request here is for a simpler API. I and many others would be more than happy to get a function that returns a random u64. No traits, no crippling commitments to a specific API design.
Currently it seems that rural states push all the bad things on themselves, e.g. climate change and other environmental destruction, so how much worse can it be for them?

I found a simple 80% solution for home plastic: I avoid packaged food in favor of fresh, unwrapped fruits, vegetables, and foods from bulk bins.

Now I have a load of garbage to empty a little less than once a year and a load of metal and plastic recycling once or twice a year.

Plus my food tastes better and costs less.

Everyone is free to do what they want, and experience shows someone will have to tell me the solution doesn't work for someone, but I hope people do similar so the manufacturers' warehouses fill with plastic instead of the oceans and they stop producing it.

That said, Id love to support an open source solution that school providers (be it formal companies or people helping out) could use. Offline upload (eg by admins scanning docs at the school) is a must, also mobile support (where I am most parents have phones, very few have laptops)

Gravitational astronomy proves its maturity
I'm not saying that electoral system in Russia is perfect; it is constantly manipulated by authorities. They are very inventive and develop new techniques every time. Nobody can be trusted, because we saw how the head of central election committee was looking for excuses to justify banning opposition candidates that you mention and ignore their objections. The meetings were livestreamed and I watched hours of such videos trying to clear up everything for myself.

But this allows us to see what measures to ensure transparency work in such circumstances and what don't. We see that independent observers and paper voting at polling stations help to prevent fraud and electronic voting would be completely opaque and uncontrollable.
