I guess what I was attempting (and admittedly failing!) to say was that Tesla vehicles hold up very well in very bad wrecks. The cars have tons of driver assist / active safety features, but they also have a huge crumple zone due to not having an engine, and an exceptionally low center of gravity due to the battery. There are many cases where people walk away from bad wrecks in a tesla where they'd have been intensive care or worse in most vehicles.
I'm not defending the Soviet Union, which was truly a horrible regime.

What I'm saying, is the proper response to a criticism of lynching, is to agree with the criticism, not argue that the crimes (no matter how horrid) of those who are making the criticism renders the criticism invalid.
They DO care about the fentanyl production (or feeder chemical production) in their country -- that's why there's so much of it.

IMO I think it's both payback for the opium epidemic of the 1800s, as well as a deliberate effort by the PRC government to "kneecap" their #1 Strategic competitor in the 21st century via societal decay.

Oddly the leaf sales peek in 2014 then heavily fall back. http://carsalesbase.com/us-car-sales-data/nissan/nissan-leaf...

So, I am not sure if they are actually moving the right direction vs introducing new car with better specks and keeping the leaf as cheap as possible.

PS: I am guessing a reverse halo effect is going on.
Good point - the committee must be horrible at judging people. Obama had essentially no foreign policy accomplishments at the time that they awarded him, suggesting they gave it out simply as tacit disapproval of Bush.

Reddit announces quarterly reports on content manipulation and account security
Very frequently top executives get substantial portions of discretionary compensation in the form of shares, restricted stock or options. So things which depress the stock price affect them personally. This is said to help create alignment between management and shareholders because management are shareholders. Short sellers have a vested interest in the price going down (they've backed that view with their cash by selling short after all) so their incentives are diametrically opposed to this.

Now, does the share price going down hurt a company? Somewhat, in that it's equity is less attractive so hiring people with options etc is going to be more expensive (people will value cash more) as will fundraising. Things like acquisitions become harder and more expensive too. But it honestly doesn't affect the company to the extent that would justify the obsessive attention that some CEOs seem to give it.

That all being said the classical view is that short sellers facilitate liquidity in a stock for when people want to buy and overall this should reduce volatility.

All of the above is assuming no market manipulation by the short seller (eg spreading malicious falsehoods about a company in an attempt to drive the share price down). This is something that is often alleged, but when you look at CEOs who say this, they frequently have the opposite tendency to positively spin things in order to send the stock price up.

The Texas colonias are inhabited by people who crossed into the US from Mexico. There are many Americans citizens there because everyone born in the US is automatically a citizen. But their standard of living says nothing about the accuracy of the statistics addressing the standard of living at the 20th percentile. (That’s 60 million people from the bottom.)

That’s not to say we shouldn’t “do something” about their living condition, just that your post is a non-sequitor. When Sweden accepted hundreds of thousands of refugees, the median income of the country almost certainly went down. But that doesn’t mean everyone became poorer.

Restricting routes to following existing streets would limit the privacy issues considerably. A drone following the street should not need to look at much other than the what is on or next to the street.

Compare to no route restrictions, where you would probably have the drones flying over people's back yards, which would be a considerable reduction in privacy.

I do it to trade options successfully. I use technical analysis and it's definitely possible. It's not a side project, it's my income.

I only use PHP although the cool thing now is Python and has built in libraries. I don't need near instant execution and I started a long long time ago so rewriting everything is not something I want to undertake.

I use minute based data with all sorts of different indicators based on the stock, it's market, and competitors.

It's not something I think you can do as a side project as you have to refine it each day, I think if you aren't spending 8 hours a day looking at charts it will be hard to adapt/evolve.

Current stance is the market is bullish. I was bullish in December also.
There is no such thing as an accurate image. What your brain sees when it looks at an image is totally different from what it would see if it was standing in front of the lens. And what my brain would see is different still.

Lenses are subjective. The question is: what do you want to see, and what lenses see that?

agree w/ another comment that suggested going through an algorithms textbook first. (MIT 6.006 online is also good.) i speak from experience: in some cases there might be tools missing from your algo toolbox and it could be worth more studying to fill in gaps.

for example, consider the maximum subarray problem (LC 53). this is a dynamic programming problem. but if you don't know DP, you could spend a long time staring at this problem without progress. even looking at the solutions won't be that informative if the concepts of DP are not familiar. MIT's 6.006 course takes four lectures to cover DP (not including the recitations!), which should tell you something.
This is a "news" story. It's supposed to be new. Writing an analysis story about how amazon are wonderful and green and citing evidence is just fine. Use good evidence. Write it and argue it well. That is not what this is. This is a naked play for positive PR and the facts are thin. Call it for what it is. Make this kind of positive PR at least as expensive as it needs to be to get. Make it so you have to do something to get it. Smoke and mirrors should not garner positive PR. This announcement is smoke and mirrors - there is NO order!! And if you think amazon are not smoke and mirrors then why are they doing it? It's a bad scene that makes them look dishonest and they should not be doing it.

"Virtue signalling" is not a cheap insult it's a useful discription of a behaviour. It also isn't in any way BAD. No really. Signalling that you are doing good things and should be thought of as doing those good things thus enhancing your brand reputation is actually what everybody wants, right? Positive PR for doing things that are good. Signalling to the market your virtue based on actual substance. Not paper thin announcements that we will be announcing something of substance later to stoke the news cycle. That's gamed up crap.

Again I don't see substance in this announcment. I see a false headline. I'm calling it because that is what it is and virtue needs to be real, not simply corporate PR "announcements" of no commitment. Or nobody gets good PR from doing good things of real substance.

Separate to that, looking at amazon stories lately is it possible to cynical enough about their PR? That's reflected here.
Looks like Alienstock is on. I'm seeing photos on Twitter that show a stage with bands setting up, a first aid trailer and tent, portapotties, a few booths selling drinks, souvenirs etc. It's hard to tell how many, but people are starting to arrive and set up camp.

So the reports that said there was no preparation at all are false, as are the predictions that no one would show up. Whether there will be a large crowd and whether they are prepared to handle that is a different matter.

I'd have to go back and look at the report but I believe he was dead for around a week before being autopsied. I believe that the examiner said it was not possible to confirm or deny any marks on his skin that would have signified external trauma, such as that from a syringe or something if Lamo was "assassinated covertly".

In all honesty, Lamo did a lot of drugs in his earlier years and in his later years he was overweight... I suffer from similar kidney problems at just age 27 so it is honestly possible that he simply died of natural kidney failure from our supremely processed American diet.

I'm sorry, but your response is a strong indicator that anyone and everyone needs to stay as far away as humanly possible from your company in its current form because:

1) company's leadership does not understand how FDIC insurance works -- trusts have their own tax ID which are not customer's tax id. Trusts cannot currently be created in real time.

2) company's leadership does not know what they are getting from a "partner" -- some random person who ran a couple of companies and consulted for some financial institutions should not know more about what is and what is not possible than a leadership of a company in a space

3) there's a lack of understanding among the leadership what are the implications of customer account being insured by FDIC.

4) leadership does not understand that ACH credit has a liability attached to it which needs to be managed very carefully ( especially with points 1-3 )

5) In no even should the points 1-4 stand should a company ever trade from its own inventory to satisfy customer's order.

Drop whatever you are currently doing and immediately hire a compliance person from a large commercial bank that does not have any reason to leave his or her position i.e. overpay for one of 100-200 experts that exist in this field so you can at least ensure that you don't blow up in the most spectacular fashion with a potential criminal prosecution.

This is not an Uber or AirBnB. If you mess up you will create potentially criminal problems not just for yourselves but for your customers.
Is there a really abbreviated reference to all of core kubernetes? Like, one page with just all the categories, services, objects, attributes, schemas, etc, for every component.

This does not take into account materials use in other countries that is in direct relation to the US economy. US is not primarily a resource-extraction economy, and many of its firms do most of their manufacturing overseas. Rarely will a high-tech company buy natural resources directly / from a US source. It won't show up in any of the studies' metrics of 'stuff used'. This objection came up recently in a panel discussion about this study as well.

Keeping high-powered weaponry out of the hands of complete and total fuckups, who dominate the list of spree shooters with high casualty counts. And potentially mitigating (obviously not solving) proliferation.

Within Constitutional limits (and without wading into a protracted argument about what those limits might be; Heller was 5-4!), devolving this question back out to the states, so states that overwhelmingly support restrictions regain some knobs to accomplish that (through licensure requirements). Letting the Laboratories of Democracy do their thing.

I don't see a fundamental reason why we'd want to take most semi-automatic rifles away from most owners, because while I don't actually believe most owners derive any practical benefits from them (I think overwhelmingly they're a hobby, not a tool), I also don't see what the point of reclaiming a firearm from someone who simply isn't going to abuse it would be.

No, as @dragonsh said, Kubernetes will be a bad choice for you. Kubernetes is complex, specially its network stack, you'll need to setup an VPN from each site to your control plane site to keep some basic functionality working (kubectl logs, for example).

If you don't care about a centralized API to probe status and manage each instance, Ansible should be enough to orchestrate these installations and with little effort (that also depends on the application at hand) getting zero-downtime rollouts with Docker can be easily done with it.

However, if you want a single control place to probe status and want to avoid writing your own rollout scripts, Hashicorp's Nomad [1] might be a good solution for this. It is a lot simpler than Kubernetes while still giving you nice primitives to describe jobs/services, health checks, rollouts strategies and etc. Treat every site as a datacenter of its own, setup a job of type "system" (akin to Kubernetes DaemonSets) and all you need on these sites is internet access to your HTTPS endpoint of the Nomad control plane.

If you want to talk more about this, hit me up on Twitter or Telegram, I use @rochacon as my handle virtually everywhere.

Well, teslas ARE more likely to crash than commercial airliners, because "everyone knows you are more likely to die driving to the airport than in the plane"

Other than that, tesla does publish some data:

That said, people commonly constrain the Tesla comparisons to newer cars or in some other way.
Technically you could use a DaemonSet for that, but the primary use-case is not that for DaemonSets. It should be used for "daemon" containers, like logging daemons (e.g. fluentd), network plugin daemons like calico, flannel or monitoring like prometheus. If you want to run multiple instances of your application, you should define a replicaset or deployment with setting Pod affinity instead.

Have you worked in the R&D department of a big company?

Did Nokia match Apple? Why not? Was it a resource problem?

> But debts in the Alpine country are far higher than in the US...

Debts make this comparison difficult to make meaningful.

A few cases:

- Minimum wage earner barely scrapes by but does not seek any credit.

- Someone in a high cost of living area takes out a mortgage.

- A young neurosurgeon with fresh educational debt takes on a very high paying job.

- A billionaire borrows to finance a major real estate project

The net worth of these cases goes from highest to lowest. The "means" run in the opposite direction.

Sometimes indebtedness is poverty. Sometimes it's consumption smoothing. Sometimes it's a reasonable investment in a home or earning potential. Sometimes it's a dangerous source of leverage on a foolish bet.

I don't know how we disentangle all those when trying to measure or compare human welfare.

That problem was solved long ago. Land on the roof and drop the packages down the chimney. Most roofs can handle a flying sled and 8 reindeer, so handling a small delivery drone should be no problem.
I would submit that mass surveillance is doing harm, see Cambridge Analytica and other recent scandals.
if drones are just following existing streets, there's nothing innovative with drone delivery... it will just be ridiculously more inefficient than todays modes of delivery.

No sane vendor will agree to these sort of terms and these companies do not care about privacy, they are all in the data mining and advertising business.
