> It's a little surprising that even with a two-speed Gearbox the Taycan has neither better range nor low range 0-60 acceleration than the Tesla P100D (which has the same size battery).

0-60 times probably don't matter on the track. Its probably more important to optimize the 60 to 120mph time, which is where the torque of a (single gear) electric motor begins to taper off. I bet that Taycan has superior 60-to-120mph times than any gearbox-free design, which would lead to superior track performance. Especially on a track as big as Nurburgring.

Even on highway driving, 0-60 times kind of don't matter as much as 30-60 times. (Aka: merging into a highway). The only reason to push 0-60 times is for drag-racing really.
I've been watching for a few minutes. It appeared to do a weird roll during braking, and then the line of descent greatly varied from the anticipated line. The room was jubilant prior to this, and now very somber.

Hopefully there will be good news. But I think it crashed.
I deleted my Facebook account months ago. Does that mean all of the other records were deleted?
Me personally?

I think it’s weird as fuck that you are telling me what I am.
As a religious person, I wouldn't personally teach the fear business that you describe. Choices matter, and I believe He has provided us consequences, as well as opportunity for complete forgiveness and tremendous opportunity for learning and growth, with family ties and other benefits that can go beyond the grave.

Was waiting for this, someone will show up and harp on the poverty! You need a budget for science, above all it inspires a whole generation of young people, it tells that kid in the gutter to dream big! It tells you to be hopeful when the chips are down! And we need this to counter the religious demagoguery in India.
If you go to bed at the same time as your kids you could get up at 4:30 and get 9 hours in bed. Really there's a slider for "free time at night" and "free time in the morning" that you can adjust; my wife is a evening person, so she gets up 30 minutes after the kids are up. I'm a morning person, so I get up an hour before the kids are up.
I am in the same boat.

As someone who used to be in this very space and even tried to get a startup off the ground based on it, I can tell you with absolute certainty that this will lead absolutely nowhere.

The short of it is that literally no business will accept data that is generated this way until someone shows that every neural net model trained in this way produces solutions that are mathematically equivalent to a validated method.

At best it might be used as a filter step in some pipeline, but that's not going to have much of an effect, and certainly not something on which to bet the success of a startup.

How would proving control of a domain work?
>Caves are an entirely different context

Respectfully disagree.

>A sick society inclines people towards damaging the structures built around them because they see those structures as symbolising their own oppression in some capacity.

If you don’t think oppression exists, and that it can be symbolized by structures, I don’t know what to tell you. Are you against the toppling of sculptures of Saddam Hussein?

What do you think of advertising? Do you not consider billboards “damaging to structures”? How do you think advertising differs from graffiti and do you really find advertising non-oppressive? No ad agencies ask my permission to assault my visual field with a billboard, and neither do graffiti artists. All’s fair in art and war.

I assume the grandparent had the opposite point: that it's obvious to anyone who's spent any time with birds around that everybody tends to notice the alerts they make. Other birds, humans, pets, wild animals.
No telemetry data since about 10 minutes starting just as it was about to land. Looks like it didn't make it.

When I registered my domain I got WHOIS protection and then LE just made sure I owned the domain. There was no asking about who I am or where I reside or what lists I might be on.

That's the problem with simply losing communication. It's not positive evidence of a crash, it's just a lack of information. Possibly the landing jostled antennas or power relays causing a communications glitch... but you can't rule out that it just crashed :(
Of course they don’t delete it, which is why they know not to automatically tag you.

If you're currently doing native iOS development, you might want to give native Android a try. It's not /that/ different from iOS development, especially if you're using Swift and you try Kotlin.

I only say this because -- if you haven't tried React Native before -- you're in for a bad time if you think you don't really need to know Android development to make an even modestly complex app. When you run into Reactive Native errors and you don't know what's going on in Android, it can be an infuriating experience.

I'm not saying it's the best bet for you. Just -- if you haven't tried it -- maybe give it a shot [=
Totally down in Austin, Texas at the moment as well.

Model 3 performance needs ceramic brakes for the ring. Car is too heavy for the Brembos and it is at the limit for brake size.
It's weird. My partner and I are late twenties and talk a lot about 'nostalgia for something never truly experienced'.

We were too young to experience the '80s, and most of the '90s passed us by as children. But now, looking back, there is such a strong appeal - technology was still exciting without the societal consequences and complications - we really only used computers to play games and not for productivity. The anxiety and stress of social networks did not emerge until we were effectively adults and therefore a bit more immune.

Anyway, we love Com Truise, HOME, Flamingosis, and other artists (Simpwave on youtube!) creating a neo-retro-synth-vapour kind of pastiche, but it's odd to think that it's all referencing things that we are experiencing only in hindsight.
I’ve asked pre-internet programmers and they said they used to keep reference books at their desk or even a small library/book room at their employers.

I’ve heard some government contractors can’t google because they work on non-internet connected computers. They probably keep a lot of books.
> This is a roundabout way of saying it's undistilled vodka.

Not really. Since you can make vodka from the same cereal grains that beer is made from, you could also describe beer as undistilled vodka, but that wouldn't make a ton of sense. Its major similarity to vodka is its neutral taste, not its base ingredients.
I haven't checked their TOS, but practically there isn't any limitations in getting certificates from Iranian IPs or for ir domains. If there is any problem, it is that browser vendors/root CAs/etc are not willing to trust CAs in those countries.

Different classes of stock with different voting privileges could at least prevent some abuses by speculators that buy up shares and seek to force through actions that benefit speculators but harm all the other stakeholders (long term investors, customers, employees...).

There are certainly questions about if a long term exchange can make a difference. But it seems to me possible that it could. It does seem to me the voting rights on the shares would have to be different for it to have much of an affect. It seems to me it makes sense to have voting rights largely vest with those interested in the long term success of the company.
> I want to dissuade people from smoking or excess drinking because it makes health insurance for me and my family more expensive while tying up hospital resources treating people for preventable diseases.

If smoking reduced total health expenditure (because those who die early from smoking-related illnesses avoid the costliest years of their lives), would you advocate for the government to encourage smoking?
I've only developed for Apple's ecosystem for a short period of time, but I could tell you right off the bat that this idea would have raised a few red flags during the app review process.

Sometimes we get so married to an idea that we forget to check in with reality..

I agree, this is kinda the point I was trying to make (probably very badly).

I like cufflinks as well so I appreciate your appreciation of them. Sadly I don't own any shirts :/
Your description of whiplash resonates with me. One of the most common bad management traits I've run into is constantly changing priorities. Typically in these environments every single thing is an urgent crisis, but the super duper critical stuff from earlier in the week almost always gets completely forgotten about because 1) It was never actually that important, and 2) Everyone immediately has to jump on the next "crisis".

Working in a place like that is exhausting, but very little ever seems to get done.
At the end of the day, all of AWS is simply "I wish to mutate the state in your cloud such that your cloud will subsequently respond to request X with response f(X)." At the end of the day, that's an API. It's just that you're also warming a "cache" that happens to be Turing-complete :)
> if your solution involved generating all permutations of a sequence, and you didn't remember how to do that efficiently, I would let you make up a black box function that just does it

Which seems pretty reasonable...large family sedan vs a sports sedan.

Besides, when the new Tesla roadster rolls out in 2020/2021, it is game over for everyone else anyway. At a price point of ~$200k, it'll kind of make the Porsche Taycan a joke. Unless you are a Porsche only individual. Which, to their credit, is a fairly sizable market.
The Rat Apocalypse in New Zealand
To me there are two ways to look at this. Either the laws of physics as we have them are too general when compared to what can be encountered in reality (in other words, actual reality is simple enough that a Turing machine approximated by logic circuits can manage well enough at finding a description) or, models found by fitting data are too specialized, ignoring subtleties not captured by loss functions acting on the data they were trained on.

Any physical model gained by fitting data which purports to be faster than those based on a computable approximation of the laws of physics is so constrained. There is room to maneuver however. If the model being replaced has a limited and known domain of applicability due to approximations made for tractability, a fitted model with suffciently large capacity and expressiveness will for sure improve things.

It's just that it's unlikely to be generally applicable without violating what we know about physics, which is why I am skeptical of the latter part of your post.

>Apple went to the mat to protect its customers from the FBI. That earns ️<3 from me. Do I think Google would look out for me like that? Hahah, no, I do not think so.

They implemented countermeasures on their devices to prevent the exact situation where the FBI would compel them to produce a signed, backdoored, firmware like they wanted Apple to do after San Bernadino.

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/05/insider-at...

Unless you have the device's passcode, you can't update the firmware that deals with passcode checking, unless you wipe the data.
Something like unchained.shop. Hybris is uncool and too expensive to customize. I agree it's a good thing for engineers to launch.

2 children (1 can no longer be classified as young) and I get up between 4-5 most days. Occasionally I have breaks where I sleep in till 10 am (lol - see aforementioned kids) but it's definitely doable. Just don't be dogmatic and listen to your body.
Two minor points: They are both real files. The symlink may be created first.

"Source" and "target" are confusing names because the target of the ln command is the file it creates, which is the symlink that points to the source file, which is the "target" of the symlink in an intuitive sense. The mnemonic works because it matches mv and in that case the file that exists must obviously come first. In ln without -s the file also must exist, which makes perfect sense. So it's easy enough to remember if you understand what the ln semantics are and don't get hung up by the source and target jargon.
Let’s see. If Google finds a vulnerability in IOS, Apple patches the vulnerability and it’s patched for at least all iOS users on the current OS, as of right now, that’s all phones dating back to 2013.

But Apple has also within the past three months released an update for phones back to the iPhone 4s released in 2011.

If Google finds a vulnerability in Android, what percentage of the phones would actually receive the patch?

Using a throwaway account. I am in the US on an L-1B visa and have applied for a green card through my spouse (GC holder). I have adjusted status and am waiting to receive my EAD and AP. Our local field office is super slow and we're easily looking at a one or two year wait. Here are my questions:
1. Once I have my EAD, is it reasonably safe to change jobs (and thus lose my L1 visa)? I understand nothing is guaranteed but I do wish to explore other career options.
2) Is it ok to apply for jobs while waiting for the EAD and if yes, what should I say to the question "Are you authorized to work in the US?"
Start a LetTheRestOfUsEncrypt.org based in a different country whose government isn't so full of themselves?

Sounds like IKEA was warned in advance and police were there to try and prevent people from hiding, letting them know it was not welcome.

I also imagine IKEA has a loudspeaker system. If they announce "please, everyone, store hours are over, leave the IKEA" but you stay hidden, you're trespassing.
The central banks can't force anyone to deposit money in negative-interest-bearing accounts, except for relatively small reserve balances that banks can't/won't hold in cash or other short term liquid assets. Without the central banks, those daily reserve deposits would have to be held in cash, which would have a higher cost/risk than the central bank, as evidenced by banks keeping their deposits in negative-interest-rate accounts. They wouldn't do it if they had a better option. If banks were not even required to hold a fraction of their liabilities in reserve then bank runs would probably be far more common, but interest rates might be slightly higher between the busts.
The look on the faces is not so optimistic

With regards to the supported SSL/ TLS versions you can get that information from Shodan. We do explicit handshakes using each version. For example, here is an overview of servers supporting TLS 1.3:

On this livestream https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CcJwjuo8pBo a commentator explains that the probe had some autonomy in choosing exactly where to land. So the deviation from the expected course was not necessarily something going wrong.

Edit: Apparently it can hover at 400m for up to 90 seconds to image the potential landing site. The loss of communication actually happened before the hovering phase started.
Questions (if you don’t mind):

1) What ‘level’ of engineer do you consider yourself to be, and does your employer consider you to be? (for example, do you have employees who are junior to you)
2) What’s your income from that job?
3) Do you think that income is fair and appropriate?

Apologies for the deep-dive in to details you may be uncomfortable sharing, they are important context that very few people share.
Andrew Yang has thought of this (like seemingly everything else). He's calling for amongst other things matching federal grants for helping repurposes dead malls (and the 300 malls he says will likely close over the next 4 years) for other purposes.

Ouch. I don't think many people consider implications of cnameing blog.example.com to blogspot.com and store.example.com to shopify.com and chat.example.com to discord.com, etc.
Convenience. Not having to charge something. Having something that always just works. I have a pair of BT headphones too btw. I think both have use cases and there is no good reason to remove a jack (unlike floppies)
At 400m is was 1km off from the landing site, which you can see on the descent map it's off centre.
Remember it like this: just as in cp, the file that already exists comes first, the file/link we are creating now comes second.
I've noticed that as I produce more projects and more code, I often turn to searching my own stuff before I search google. I will do an `ag --python foo.bar` before I will search google, because if I wrote the original code it's easier to understand.
Seven lines is even a bit much. You could do it all on the commandline if you don't mind a bit of ugliness, and all Perl programmers should be used to some ugliness.

There is a large overlap in ideas between Haskell and Clojure.

You will also find that many of the people who are interested in Clojure are also interested in Haskell and vice-versa.

In fact, they share enough that it causes a tension because it is a little "too close for comfort". i.e. the concepts they share are quite strong, and the concepts they differ are stark by virtue of being polar opposites.

No, they aren't they same along every axis, but they share enough axes that the crossover is quite palatable.
That's interesting, I wonder if they meant 100 Earth kilograms or 100 moon kilograms.

Edit: On 2nd thought they are probably using kg in terms of mass, not weight.
yeah? Zuckerberg promised? suuure
You are totally right that it's a hard sell.

At the same time, why "punish" everyone for the actions of a few?

Also, if everyone has access to a certain benefit, it's really hard to take advantage of it in a negative way. For example you can't resell it.

I feel like toilets/showers should be something like roads, ubiquitous, accessible to everyone and continuously maintained.

I haven't seen people complaining about trucks/busses using the roads too much/more than them, while making money.

One thing I don't understand about Let's Encrypt:

Why do the certificates expire after 90 days? What would be the downside of giving them a longer expiration time?

The idea and functionality looks good. Some quick friendly feedback:

For production I would want to run this in Docker in some sort of a portable fashion.

Looking at the documentation it seems that you have to manually enter the password when you start up step-ca. That's not really going to work for automated setups. You need to be able to inject secrets from environment variables, or these days, Kubernetes secrets.

There's also the issue of backing up your CA secrets, e.g. if your step-ca process dies and you want to restart it somewhere else. That may be out of scope for step-ca though and handled through some other process, which is fine.

Might be good to add some documentation on how to set this up in a high availability fashion so it is not a single point of failure.

I do like the relative simplicity of this compared to all the other CA solutions out there. Good luck and thanks for the work.
On the flip side, more certificate authorities (who, remember, also have the ability to delegate intermediate authorities) also means more attack surface, because except in the case of key pinning (which is rare to my knowledge) any malicious authority or compromised authority's certs could be used to effectively intercept web TLS traffic. If let's encrypt was the only authority, yes that would be bad in many ways (and i'm not arguing for that) but it would mean less authorities to worry about. Anyone remember the bluecoat scandal? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/78kkwd/a-controversial-su...

> They limit damage from key compromise and mis-issuance. Stolen keys and mis-issued certificates are valid for a shorter period of time.

> They encourage automation, which is absolutely essential for ease-of-use. If we’re going to move the entire Web to HTTPS, we can’t continue to expect system administrators to manually handle renewals. Once issuance and renewal are automated, shorter lifetimes won’t be any less convenient than longer ones.
