No need to look at "self-driving" as proof. Solar City itself came with a lie that Elon was pushing: Solar Shingles.

Not only did Solar City fail to make Solar Shingles under the Tesla banner... Elon eradicated their contracts with Home Depot, fully destroying the future of SolarCity.

It should be no surprise to anyone that SolarCity is no longer the top solar company in the USA, but has fallen further and further behind. SolarCity, as a company, has been milked and discarded.
The implication hidden in OP's comment is that Amazon, a multi-billion dollar company, is seeking to pay less money to people generating content for its platforms and instead provide users with an inferior product. The question was semi-rhetorical, with the understood context being that the best choice would be for Amazon to pay for all the licenses required to make their products better.
I didn't interpret "seeks independence" as positive spin at all. It's clear and obvious that they are trying to become more independent of US technologies now that they are suffering at the whims of a mercurial personality. Indeed, the article goes into detail with quotes about how their desire for RISC-V is driven by the embargo.

I think you may be reading intent into what "seeking independence" means that is not there.
I think the _idea_ of a global audience was in mind, but when looking at who was a part of the discussions & how the language exists, it's pretty clear that a lot of cultures, nations, languages, and speech varieties weren't a part of the design process.

Maybe it could be said that Zamenhof's conceptions of "global audience" were those who were closest to hegemonic and/or supernational influence, which I think I'd agree with.

But I wouldn't call his design nor process particularly culturally inclusive.
From my experience implementing, integrating or customizing different CRM solutions is that it's not like ERP or MRP. You can have a most optimal way of organizing your stocks, or managing your manufacturing process, and there can only be so many ways to look at the data (in terms of reporting) but CRM is about how you create a relationship with your customer and how to maintain it and every business IMHO requires slightly more customized approach and I believe the approach differ substantially between industries as well.
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like it.

Not a problem if your colleague is skeptical, we'll have time to convince them. What type of role are they in?

Integrations will come. But for now every tool which stores contacts or spreadsheets has a CSV export. It's usually just one click to export, and uploading to Arrows Outreach is immediate.

So I'd hope they'd give it a shot if they have the problem we had, which is jumping back and forth between spreadsheets and Gmail to send personalized emails to a large list.
I’m arguing that Tesla ignored range anxiety and traded range for power and style. The other manufacturers weren’t willing to do it.

Batteries did improve but its not like Tesla had access to better batteries than GM (at least in their early days).
It took them two years to set up a department that sells their first product (besides gas and electricity): an outdated EV charger, from a company they bought that stopped innovating after acquisition and is now lagging behind competition. Not a car, just the charger.

Two years to set up the business structure isn't that much time in the scheme of multinational conglomerates. Especially when the market isn't yet that big and none of the other players are making meaningful profits.

On a separate note, SolarCity stopped innovating after it was acquired and went from being #1 worldwide for solar panel installations to a very distant #8 in the US (and not meaningfully ranked on a global scale).

Does Huawei sell Linux laptops today? Why not? Why would that change? If they don't think x86/Linux or ARM/Linux laptops are a good idea, why would RISC-V/Linux laptops be a good idea?

People love to come up with fantasies and try to work backwards from them, but sometimes you really can't get there from here.
A number of assets, including textures, audio, and prerecorded demos, have been stripped out of this release.
> Who said anything about Medicaid? That is a Federal program that States can opt into to varying degrees, and most States have longstanding separate programs for the purpose.

No, they don't. Many states name their Medicaid-participating program with a local name that does not include “Medicaid”—California’s is “Medi-Cal”, Oregon’s is “Oregon Health Plan”—but none of them have a general, broad coverage health insurance program for the poor that is not the state Medicaid plan (except to the extent that their CHIP program is separate from their Medicaid program, but that is usually not the case, and CHIP is, in any case, a similar federal program to Medicaid, but newer.)

> I should add, all of my experience is decades before the ACA Medicaid expansion.

At a minimum, your generalization of your experience across the country and across times and to the whole body of the poor and not those in specific circumstances, and the understanding of the administrative context which enabled your experience, is incorrect, but it's quite possible that the reported experience itself rather than the generalizations based on it (that is, that you had decent, free healthcare while being poor in the US) is correct, especially as a child.
More like they don't want groups of people to exclude KFC from their choices simply because there isn't a vegetarian option.
Oh I'm funded. Definitely was told not to go unless I'm fully funded. But $500k for computing resources is bigger than a lot of small term contracts (I'm mostly on research and usually don't have to TA unless there's a hiccup in funding schedules. Gov money...). I definitely see that amount for long term, but this seems like a pretty short project.
Service dogs are carefully trained animals that work for people. They aren't pets with a "wink wink nudge nudge" label.

There's an obvious difference between a seeing eye dog, and someone stretching the truth so they can bring their pet into the mall and bypass "no pets" policies in apartment buildings.

If you can't defend and enforce that difference, then protections for people who really need service animals will erode quickly.
Exactly why it doesn't hurt to save a bunch of times to be sure.
I feel bad for the author. To be labelled a nazi for using the counter-clockwise svatiska is undue.

On the other hand, it has been suggested that quite a few deaths that are actually suicide using a gun get reported as "gun cleaning accident", presumably to lessen the impact on relatives (however slightly).
And he chose to do this by lending money at way-below-market rates to a financial dumpster fire of a company that didn't, and still doesn't have any capacity or secret technical expertise to manufacture one component of his Mars plans, which are still decades in the future?

All the while, knowing that the financials of SolarCity are worse then he publiclly claimed?

Pardon me, but given the personal financial gain he had in the deal going through, this stinks so bad, you can smell it in Minsk.

Speaking of which - given his penchant for over-promising, and spectacularly under-delivering, I feel like only a lunatic would choose to settle in a Mars colony ran by SpaceX.

Also:

> The thing he avoids is having a custom part only intended for him which he is dependent upon another company for.

So, hold on. Was SolarCity supposed to be making custom parts for a Mars colony? Why would their expertise in doing financial engineering to sell people solar roofs be of any help in this endeavor?

If they weren't going to be making custom parts, and they'd just be making off-the-shelf panels, why pick a supplier decades before he actually needs one? Solar panels aren't sheet metal, but they are as close as you can get to a commodity, these days - and will be even more so, decades from now.

> The contract breech: Property taxes going up so fast that the only possible solution was to sell your home. Now, of course the value of the home was going up, which was what was driving the taxes.

The State of California offers another solution. It's called Property Tax Postponement: https://www.sco.ca.gov/ardtax_prop_tax_postponement.html

"The State Controller’s Property Tax Postponement Program allows homeowners who are seniors, are blind, or have a disability to defer current-year property taxes on their principal residence if they meet certain criteria including 40 percent equity in the home and an annual household income of $35,500 or less."

The taxes are deferred until a change of control, like due to a sale or transfer to next of kin. Many or most high-cost-of-living jurisdictions have similar programs.
Yep, it is /just/ an rc release note. However, it is interesting for Linus' comment on it being 28 years since the first Linux announcement.
Actually, what's to stop Huawei from just copying and incorporating whatever they need into their IC designs regardless of patents? I can imagine foreign foundaries refusing orders from Huawei to avoid manufacturing IP infringing designs, but are there foundaries in China that can produce the chips necessary while ignoring foreign patents?

As an aside to that, how do foundaries know whether their client designs infringe on patents? Is there some sort of automated system that goes through the design files they are sent looking for areas of silicon that may contain infringing IP blocks?

The group was formed after the acquisition in January 1997 of Zond Corporation of California, the largest US developer of wind-powered electricity at the time.

There is no question that these are Buddhist swastikas; they are clockwise and also rotated 45 degrees compared to the most common nazi version.

It is difficult to appreciate how ubiquitous swastikas are in the Buddhist world until you go there and see them everywhere. I have no doubt that this was an innocent decision.

It is interesting that support for nationalism is still popular with the older generations alongside their support for diversity, even after nationalism has been co-opted by groups hostile to diversity.

The younger generations see "I support the USA" as "I support the policies of the current administration", simply because that's how said supporters often identify themselves.

I think if you asked the younger generations if they still believed in the principles of freedom and democracy that the US represents that they would be largely in favor of that stance, but feel that the current government is not upholding those ideals in a way that they approve of.
I don't know why there would be _any_ porting involved. Arm and RISC-V are so similar that the compiler should take care of it.

The major pain points today are the JITs, which applies to Java and JavaScript in particular. There has been preciously little (public) progress on these.
I still struggle to see the point with every project that starts out using pipenv. Python -m venv & activate & pip install -r requirements.txt works more often(every time for me) and is faster. I have literally not once seen a project where the pipenv solution was better, but I’ve seen 12 where it straight up failed to install correctly and all others it was slower by a large factor.

For me pipenvs only selling point is that some people don’t know about python -m venv.

You need little yeast, you put the poolish in a olive-oil covered cup, and put it somewhere cool. And there it stays - for nearly a day. Then you add flour- and let it slowly come all the way. Then for all your work you get little bread.

French bakerys - have a very limited supply of baguetts - because they have limited space to let the dough ripen for a hour or more (if it ripens cold).

Don't even get me started on his brother (kimbal) and his multi-millionaire dollar salary to be a board member. He has zero experience in manufacturing or automobiles. Blows my mind they have allowed this go unchecked for so long.

Don't get me wrong, there are definitely some good things that happen via Tesla but the amount of shady deals done out in the open is mind blowing.
They don’t need to use oracle JRE. Oracle has fully open-sourced the JRE under GPL (unlike Sun).

If an app developer wants to use a version of the JDK other than that freely supplied by Oracle at https://openjdk.java.net/ , they can distribute AdoptOpenJDK, Apache Corretto, or any of the many other openjdk distributions.
I can buy either that or the other similar product at my local discount grocer, but it is twice the cost of the real thing, I have no idea what is in it, or how to work with it, so I opted not to purchase it.

I will prefer to wait for the labgrown meat anyway.
Maybe, but I doubt it. It's there to support a bunch of features that companies want (eg. remote management, trusted computing, etc.). The reason why the consumer version has it is that most consumers don't mind, and having a seperate sku with it disabled/not present would cost extra. This won't change with RISC-V. You might be able to get a low performance part without it, but all the mainstream (ie. high performance) parts will have it.
The "nice guy" or "busy guy" argument doesn't hold up in court.

You have an obligation as CEO (and Chairman at the time) to be ethical and legal in your actions.
You can safely use gets on trusted input. For example, your program might create a pipe or socketpair to communicate between the processes that result from a call to fork. The stdout of one process feeds into the stdout of the other process.

Unless you have an insane gets implementation that writes the bytes backwards, you can also safely use it on untrusted input. Simply place a guard page at the end of the buffer. You can do the call from a forked child that you let die, taking notice of the problem in the parent. On systems without threading (because of locks in libc) you can do a longjmp to recover.
Feels like the leather industry needs to launch an education campaign to distinguish the real thing from the cheap China knock offs... big marketing/branding opportunity for the sector. Most consumers, myself included, have no clue about grading leather, etc.
Because people want to keep eating things like burgers, hotdogs, tacos, etc. And not everyone knows how to replace the "meat" part. Basically not everyone knows or has the patience to build things from scratch. I'm fortunate that my family has time to cook things from scratch but I do see the market for all those replacements, some of them are good some others are yes weird.
The esperanto pronouns are almost exactly like the Eng=lsh ones. Unlike most European languages, there's no distinction between singular, plural or formal 2nd person, but just an everyday 2nd person pronoun and an archaic one. And there's three pronoun genders despite not otherwise having one.

The major distinction is that, when no gender can be determined English traditionally uses the plural for humans (and some people teach the use of “him”, “her” or “him or her”), whereas Zamenhof taught the use of the neuter - although most people imitate the revisionists mentioned in brackets.
A person interviewed in the article touches on it, but it's not surprising that the sort of patriotism espoused by older generations, much of which is performative, superficial, and one might even say "virtue signaling", has fallen out of favor with those under-40.
If anyone is interested in listening to a little more Esperanto, there's a great Esperanto podcast: http://pola-retradio.org/

It's been a long while since I listened to it, but the speech is very fluent and it's about as close to as a "neutral" Esperanto accent as you'll get.
They've gone a lot further than that: assigning names to tons of stuff, adding comments, organizing all the files, and setting up a full build process so you can recompile a new ROM with modifications.
Even if you are able to get 1,000 customers at $50/month, that's only $50k/month or $600k/year. That's barely enough to provide enough support personnel and hosting costs alone to support 1k clients.

Using Acrobat DC, searching for content in all PDFs in a folder takes ages. It is both slow AND single-threaded, the disk is barely moving.

NASA has already committed to a permanent moon colony. I think it's pretty inevitable that Mars colonies will become common. Humans love to explore and expand.

So why wouldn't you want to get ahead of the curve? Maybe governments and eccentric billionaires start paying SpaceX for their services and expertise in Mars colonization. Maybe SpaceX makes tons of money selling vacations to Mars. Maybe musk names himself Lord emporer of the planet.

Whatever is going to happen, musk wins for being so far ahead of everyone else.

As someone who looked hard into it, RISC-V doesn't really make sense for a GPU shaders, IMO. You'd have to change so many things about how the ISA works that you wouldn't get a benefit to using a common ISA. Stuff like how shaders are batched and dispatched, textures accesses make sense to be their own instructions, you want a larger register file on the scalar side, the memory barrier semantics are much more complex, etc.

RISC-V might make sense inside of the GPU accelerators though. GFX command list processing, DMA engines, and video codecs all make sense to be something like RISC-V.
I second the recommendation on hiring a tutor to help you through the first few weeks of either self-guided 6.004 or whatever the Stanford equivalent is.

Here's a few old Linux install-related Web pages:

* 1999 university lab/department-specific instructions for Red Hat: https://www.neilvandyke.org/lab-linux-1999/

* 2000 assembling PC with Linux-friendly components: https://www.neilvandyke.org/cheap-pc-2000/

* 2003 laptop-specific install instructions for Debian: https://www.neilvandyke.org/linux-thinkpad-560e/

One thing I notice in the 1999 one is that, although I was already interested in privacy&security, I was pretty cavalier about where I got RPMs. Maybe it was hard to imagine that anything Linux could be evil?
It stopped being an innocent decision once it was pointed out and he doubled down.

Put another way: I cannot put my or my employer's interests in Western markets at risk because something is acceptable in Eastern markets.
