> Tesla owners to brush off being misled and ignored by the manufacturer of their car

Huh? how so, can you provide examples?

> I own a P100D and the magic wore off for me. Apparently it hasn't for you.

It certainly hasn't, to the point that we got rid all of our gas vehicles for a 3/X (Owned an S since 2015). Also, four of our neighbors also randomly rang our doorbell in the last 6 months asking about the cars. An underrated feature of these cars is safety, I can't put a price on that.

I showed them the features, gave them test drives and told them my honest opinion and experience. A few weeks later, they all ended up buying one.
Right. Early thinking was to do that in the routing algorithm, before the Internet became so hub and spoke.
I typically remember at least one or two keywords about any site I visit. Usually, typing these into the URL bar will turn up the desired website as a suggested result in Chrome.
They have some legitimate reasons for the Gatsby specific CSS -- specifically because everything needs to be available at build time, and I assume the prismjs library depends on browser APIs that may not exist at build time.

It's also not too surprising to hear that it doesn't support code highlighting out of the box in React given it's a plugin for Gatsby's remark plugin.

However, because we added prismjs as a dependency, you can still use it in React without hacking it with `dangerouslySetInnerHtml` so no idea where you got that idea from: https://pathof.dev/blog/code-highlighting-in-react-using-pri...
in kotlin, named parameters are a good defense against this.

They help in many cases. Mixing named and default parameters in a method, modifying an API without breaking its usage, etc.

It is slightly more verbose, but I tend to use them a lot. Basically everywhere unless the params are obvious (max(a;b) is a good example)
I wonder, is the z/Arch millicode still written in PL/8?

It's a pity that (as far as I know) IBM has never released the GCC front-end it wrote for PL/8 [1]. (Not that anyone outside of IBM would have any real use for it, but still...)

I use to work for some company that has a very strict no-merge, only rebase policy, because they want to preserve a straight-line commit history. But I think what they actually need is an algorithm that can draw / print commit history in straight. To me, altering the model for the sake of view kinda of defeated the purposes.

Tesla bonds are rated deeeep into junk. Comparatively Toyota is high in the investment grade as are VW's. Having junk long term bonds is not great, having junk short term ones is downright scary. This is even worse considering it's a company that so desperately needs the ability to get cheap loans. It's not a narrative without its facts, it's a speculation based on concerning evidence.

Do you see a lot of games that run well in 4k@120hz? VR is much more demanding. Maybe if you spend $20k on a box with 8 GPUs it will be able to run it. But it’s not just GPUs, you also need much better headsets (much higher refresh rates, 8k+ resolution, wide FOV, very good eye tracking for the foveated rendering, much higher dynamic range). Most importantly, creating all that photorealistic content is a huge effort, and you need a lot of it for VR. How much are you willing to pay for it?

Wash more often. If you wash every day or two, the amount of water in your clothes will not be super significant. If you wash once or twice a week, then your relative humidity will spike. You can buy super efficient washers, so power consumption is not really an issue (especially in comparison to using a drier). The other thing you can do is to "change the air" in your house every once in a while, especially in winter. Just open the windows and let it breathe. Letting the cold air in reduces the water carrying capacity of the air. When you heat it back up, the relative humidity drops.

I know these kinds of things are not common in the UK, but when my wife and I lived in England for 2 years, that's what we did and it works very well.

Birds are generally prey and have a typical prey strategy; they lay lots of eggs and expect few chicks to reach adulthood, while the large majority become food for someone. Sparrows lay about four eggs per year and become >10 years old, for example.

You should expect lots of sparrows to be eaten. Otherwise, the number of sparrows would grow by >100% per year. What this study says is that the number of chicks to reach adulthood is below two per hen, sustained for 50 years.

>Their Instagram and Twitter accounts churn out constant brand building material.
>They’re building their personal brand

I don't even have an Instagram? And literally I made two business-related tweets in the last month, one of which was a RT of someone commenting on how the org I run is valuable. Which brings me to...

>They both have pseudo-startups

I run a nonprofit that's had about 42,000 students attend mostly physical, in-person events in 53 cities, over the last 10ish years. We are profitable and have employees. Our programs have a NPS of 70-80 and we get grants from a bunch of big companies on the basis of our outcomes. This has been my full-time job and only livelihood for the last 5 years.

>I’d be interested in reading an honest “Where are they now” follow up series that checks in with these founders at the 5-year mark

We've been around for 10 years, and I've been the ED for 5. We have continued to grow and improve our key metrics although we're not a startup and I'm not going for meteoric growth.
For a company not at significant financial risk why is their credit rating so low? Investors shouldn't be concerned about repayment if Tesla is likely to remain solvent.
Do you not use implicitly unwrapped optionals for IBOutlets?
Sure, but a large number of majors consist of non-STEM courses. I don't think that non-STEM courses don't teach you useful things either, but I think that most people don't have a use for what those courses teach. (Some people do have use for those skills though.)
I did once. It was wonderful not having to take the thing home.
Hmm, I don't quite follow (but I know you were there!). I know there was disagreement about the right way to do multihomed hosts on the Internet; RFC 1122 gets at this with its discussion of the "strong ES model" vs. "weak ES model," and RFC 6418/6419 has a survey of current-ish behavior. By now, most implementations seem to use the "weak ES model" by default or have it configurable. This allows all interfaces to have the same IP address if you want.

But that doesn't solve the problems that MPTCP solves, i.e.: (a) break-before-make failover of a TCP connection across different network paths between two hosts, and (b) combining the resources of multiple end-to-end network paths in one connection.

Because even if a host uses the same IP address for different interfaces (and therefore a TCP connection can survive failure of one interface), it's not like that IP address is going to be individually globally routable. There's no way for some router in the middle of the Internet to know that you just walked out of range of the coffeeshop Wi-Fi and are now only reachable via a commercial LTE ISP, and would like to have incoming datagrams start arriving via the LTE interface (and ISP) instead. They won't let everybody's laptop be its own one-host AS and do a BGP announcement every time it loses a Wi-Fi interface, and even if they did, it would take too long to propagate to be useful. MPTCP (and the mobility in QUIC and Mosh) solves the problem by keeping the network ignorant of the roaming and letting the connection failover to a different network path by having the end hosts address each other at different IP addresses. Similar story, I think, for aggregating network paths between two individually multihomed hosts.
So... Second Life in VR, but run by Facebook?

For me, the "but" is enough to completely outweigh any interest in the first part.

Because that seems to be the consensus among us owners who give test drives during Tesla meetups. Also add neighbors to the mix who ask about the cars.

I now referred 6 people this way. Not once in 34 years have I had given test drives in my previous (mostly german) cars or other people become curious enough to knock on my door.

Surely, there's something interesting going on here isn't there?
Right, and in that case it's pretty clear how errors can occur and what you should do to handle it.
> given that the parents are going to be the drivers of change in this situation I'd say it's reasonable.

(Note: I shortened your quote, and the shortened bit does not give your intent. But it's the part I want to respond to. Other readers should read OPs full text.) The drivers of change with regards to the Equifax leak was the voting populous of the United States- I image if the Equifax hacker sent the credit reports of everyone compromised by the leak to everyone compromised by the leak and claimed to be an honest security researcher, it wouldn't have gone well.

> If you were in the same position as the author, how would you handle disclosure?

The author mentioned having the contact information of the legal council of the school. Send an email to them saying that email addresses are PII and they shouldn't be widely distributed. Escalate from there. If they ignore it, send a spreadsheet of names, email addresses, and facebook accounts to the lawyer. If they ignore that, start digging, send more - anyway, the point is, start at DEFCON 4 and work your way up, don't immediately step to DEFCON 2. In this case, where the solution is to paste into the BCC box instead of the TO or CC box, a 30 day window ought to be sufficient, but a zero day window is completely unacceptable.

Of course you learn things in college. The point is that what we're doing as a society with college is inefficient. We require a certificate from job-seekers that says that they've gone through college. But college teaches a lot of people a lot of skills and knowledge that will not be useful for a large portion of the students. Essentially, our society requires a prospective employee to demonstrate capability in things that are not necessary for their job or even rest of their life.

Agreed. I didn't mean the snake would feel something akin to affection. And I didn't mean it would hesitate to eat you. I meant if might feel some kind of appreciation of you (the handler) being around because of all past good stimuli.

After all, it's not social, but it might have a use for such a feeling in the wild, to learn about good hunting conditions.

(This is all so much speculation and I have no great hope snakes might feel anything at all.)

I have a strong dislike for the 'see how they think' or 'code like you would in production' style instructions for take-homes - they're not specific enough.

I don't think that necessarily applies to real-time pairing exercises though. The interviewer has significant latitude to interactively question and prompt to get at the skills and values a candidate possesses.
I hope Google Earth (or similar) does a VR world that maps one to one with the real world, but makes traveling, flying, etc., trivial. Meet friends in the desert, on a cloud, on the Moon, in the oval office, but a virtualized real place. In other words, make it a map of actual reality instead of a fantasy reality. Allow sharable fantasy/historical/speculative overlays, but focus on croudsourcing real details, current conditions, the world as it is.

It could become more of a way to interact with the world than to escape it.
You're right. We'll need bigger datasets and more complex models to achieve more useful results, but machine learning models can give predictions in real time so you could have this running as you type in your IDE, instead of visiting a website, also with a model fine tuned to your code base. "simpler use cases like the results on stack overflow" could explain at least 10% of the work I do, so even just that tool would be very useful for mediocre programmers like myself.

Behind all the hype, predictive text is something machine learning models are beginning to do very well. G-mail has rolled out a lot of similar features from advancements in deep learning models.
LIDAR gives you precision distance measurements. But LIDAR helps you little, if anything, with object classification. And object classification, the understanding what the car sees, is the big challenge with self driving.

Yes, with semi-intelligent systems it gives a head-start, as you can reasonably easy detect obstacles, but it does not help in understanding how to react to the detected obstacles.

So I would consider LIDAR rather a system which at the current state of development helps with collision avoidance rather than with true self-driving.
Agreed, I just turned down an online coding interview as it required 3 hours dedicated time, especially for those of us with families 3 hours at home is precious and not usual uninterruptible. Companies who set tasks like this probably aren't the sort of company you want to work for.

Prior to having a family, I'd spend 12 hours on a test but claim it was only 6, now I'd be pushed to spend 3.

I can believe that consumer clothing wouldn't make up a majority, but I really want a breakdown of that textile waste now, instead of the NYT or cwkoss's ready-to-eat opinions.

The main source of textiles in municipal solid waste (MSW) is discarded clothing, although other smaller sources include furniture, carpets, tires, footwear, and other nondurable goods such as sheets and towels.

I though the same.

I think everyone should be able to agree that the situation, as it stands, is pretty unfortunate. Stallman has pretty clearly lost (or never had) the trust of many members of the community, and it seems unlikely that he will be an effective leader and public face for GNU, as a result.

I don't think anyone reasonable is trying to prevent him from airing his personal opinions (contra what many people are claiming in this thread), and there are indeed many people who are open to listening to those opinions -- but whether you think he ought to leave GNU or not, it's unfortunate that he triggers such strong negative reactions from many people. Some pretty responsible and knowledgeable people such as the EFF's head of cybersecurity have described him as a "creep". [1]

While I believe that what he said[2] is so far beyond the pale of responsible discourse that removing him from his positions, as two organizations have done, was the right decision[3], I also believe that that's not really relevant for this particular thread. He founded GNU. He runs GNU. He probably can't be forced by anyone to leave GNU. None of that changes the fact that he will probably not be a very effective leader of GNU, even if he was before.
