They didn't want a revolution.

They wanted progress, enlightenment, a better social and political order. They were just not able to see when the dream of a fully equal society died immediately, taken over by corrupt people wanting power and willing to exploit that dream to gain and keep it.

Human universals include a desire for improvement in their lives and for the species as a whole, and that means we're all vulnerable to manipulation from anyone who sells us on the idea of a "better way".
My gut says probably not?

More technical debt comes from growing quickly (engineers, turnover, employees) and changing business assumptions, not the programming language.
Evaluating the effectiveness of Google's “Testing on the Toilet” program [pdf]
Private schools are a 10k to 15k pay haircut in Seattle, most require a morality clause that makes being LGBTQ+ a firable offence, and the vaccination rates are appallingly low compared to public schools.

Seattle's Catholic Schools are single handedly bringing back Measles & Rubella as a latent disease, where it used to not exist.

With Running Start being an option for the last 2 years of High School (if your in public school), its much easier to advance your education rapidly if you so choose.
My expectations are what an Android developer using Studio 3.5 with NDK r20 would expect.

While the experience is still found lacking versus what iOS or UWP tooling are capable of, it still is much better than any third party language integration.
I was wondering how they managed to hit the only tree for hundreds of miles around. Its isolation made it a target, basically the only landmark around, so of course people would be driving straight at it.
I use Duet for my iPad to get a 2nd screen for my laptop. It’s not perfect but it works. If I used a Mac I’d be excited to try the new “sidecar” second screen function Apple just unveiled. But of course it doesn’t work with a PC.

Anyway this setup gives me the best of both worlds. I get a nice trackpoint and keyboard, one really good display at all times, and a second display when I really need it. My iPad is thin and lightweight enough that I always have it with me in my laptop bag anyway.

Only downside is Duet Display can be a bit resource intensive.

Its also a great time to replay the Contact Opening Scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWwhQB3TKXA which has to be one of the greatest scenes in history.
The street was expecting much higher than 100k. Down 4& after hour.

Currently Tesla's valuation is higher than both BMW and Mercedes. No doubt, they're enjoying rich multiple due to other forward-looking business units, but they're not generating any money. Their car business is what's keeping the light on.

On long term, Tesla's car business is uncertain. The first-mover advantage is eroding quickly as legacy mfrs are stepping up.

It's an extremely competitive business. And with $45k model flooding the market, the novelty factor of the brand is going to wear off very quickly.

Look at the new Porsche Taycan. To me, that's the new Model S.

Jung,
I'm not sure which approach this analogy supports.

Sometimes it makes sense to fix small obvious issues quickly ("oops, forgot to check for null here") before diving into potentially worse but more complicated problems ("user who signed up on legacy plan reports that some playlists are incomplete in new app").

Sometimes there's such a high impact issue that you have to try to address it immediately, even if you suspect that it will involve a hellish trek through the least-maintained code in the whole company before you can even isolate a reproducible test case.

And if you have multiple developers working on bugs, one person may be doing the first while a different person is handling the second.
The narrative of the trans person is what whatever he or she decides, I've noticed.
Fascinated to Presume: In Defense of Fiction
To be fair, when I Google "yesterday's weather" in my desktop web browser I don't get a nice little Google info card. I do get some web results for sites that show historical weather, however.
Hmm, the game can be played in portrait with one thumb without much loss. The only thing that has an orientation is the shot count.
Amazon made a profit in 2003 and literally every year after that.

Amazon can be forgiven for losing $1.6 Billion in the 2001 recession, but their pathway to profitability was rather short all else considered.

Amazon has famously low margins, but those low margins commanded a mighty profit for decades. They are not the company you want to compare against Tesla. Tesla's strategy is supposed to be luxury vehicles at high margins and relatively (relative to Ford / Toyota / its other competitors) low production.

In contrast: Amazon is low margins while out-producing its competition. A very, very bad comparison.
Did you pay for it.
Getting told by my director that the product manager thought it was rude when I answered a question by sending them a link to the answer in the relevant documentation.

I guess this is why nothing else at this company is documented, because why write things down when you can waste multiple people's time repeating things.
It depends where you are looking for them. They are plenty, but don't walk on the streets wearing a big sign.
Let's also note that it's down 30% from peak this year. And that the price is heavily based on hypothesized future performance. And that Musk took a hype-driven strategy that, while getting him low-cost capital and a lot of free marketing, also has downsides. In particular, it creates a population of skeptics, and increases volatility when negative events cause former believers to become skeptics.
I am who I am and I make no apologies for it, stereotypes be damned.

I get more value out of being useful than socializing. That's just the way I'm built.

So your argument is moot.
Major ones I would fix are:

- your 404 page is returning a 200 status code instead of 404 (making it hard for Google to know what's a broken page)

- your server isn't compressing (i.e. gzip) any of the responses which will impact speed a lot.

- you have several broken external links e.g. one to chandlerdpethpsych.com

I used this Chrome extension (I'm the author) to crawl and find these issues if you want to check and confirm fixes:

Cool. I am still looking into setting up a Pi-hole in order to block things on all devices. I haven't had the time though.
Amazon made their first quarterly profit 7 years after founding and their first annual profit 2 years later.

That's longer than average, but it's also a lot shorter than 16 years.
OMG, you must be a colleague from my old team. :)

My ex boss bought a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Blue switches(the loud clicky ones) that would penetrate my noise cancelling headphones and gave everyone in our shared office 'Nam PTSD flashbacks.

Nobody dared to complain to him about that. Still wondering if he did that on purpose to troll us or he was just really indifferent about the others in the office.
Nice catch. It doesn’t totally invalidate the “self made” narrative but puts it in perspective. A lot of EntrepreneurPorn glosses over the entrepreneur’s pre-existing family wealth and connections and other advantages they started the game with.
Yeah it's still good, just not perfect or ideal.

97,000 was above what several prominent forecasts had.

The meet expectations game is de facto Wall Street financial fraud. They very aggressively, very openly use it either direction to manipulate the market as they see fit. It's one of the few direct levers of fraud they have that won't get them thrown into prison.

And on the other side, you have companies like Cisco that for a decade had a notorious reputation for beating estimates perfectly, by a penny. Every single time, like magic. Obvious financial gaming.
1) Single occupant car transport is the least space efficient mode of travel in wide use, with wide margins. That even includes dedicated rail, if reasonably frequented, as in a moderately dense city.

2) Phrase it as you may, parking minimums raise cost of housing and/or disperse the cities increasing distances traveled, turning cheap options of walking or cycling into requisite car travel, which again widens roads, increasing distances...

3) No idea if true. Even so, less cars and less oil should leave more available resources for more useful things. Bad funding schemes are an argument, but I would consider it a sufficient one.

4) Yes they were bad. Probably still are. Trains can be electrified and no idea how that relates to wars.

5) I agree car subsidies are bad. Not sure about feasibility or seriousness of proposed end on pedestrian subsidies. Would you stop building sidewalks? Roads?

6) I will deflect to a more pressing concern and argue car travel inflicted pollution collectively does significantly more harm to health and quality of life of most residents, than the few, yet no less tragic traffic accidents.

How about we don't incentivize car usage, including all the reasons that make it convenient, useful and often almost unavoidable, like zoning, parking, wide roads, cheap fuel etc? Car is a car, and in this instance, newer cars may be even worse polluters with their tire particulate.

7) Sedentary life style is not about length of commute. If you don't own a powered personal transporter, you will almost certainly either walk more or cycle more or at least stand on your motorized scooter as you do want to get somewhere.
> Notice the keen implication in the title that testosterone causes reduction in cognitive empathy

Well, yeah. Kind of a "duh" from the article which quotes the scientist:

"Several earlier studies have suggested a connection between testosterone and reduced cognitive empathy..."

So no implication needed, creating supporting evidence for that hypothesis was actually already being done, and this one counters that existing narrative.
Not every loss making company is an Amazon in the making :)

Tesla is likely coming to the end of the period where they have a relatively unique portfolio of products. We're starting to see the traditional car makers come up with competitive vehicles.

Whilst Tesla may ride this out fine, it's likely to have an impact on things like margins, going forward.
Check the caption for the "Median Annual Wages..." graph:

"Teacher salaries are adjusted based on the assumption of a 10-month work year."

...which is a good way to give them a virtual 17% pay raise. I wonder if the same applies to other professions like independent contractors or lawyers, who can only charge for part of their working time.
A couple years ago I had TWO full-day interview sessions with a single company. That I had to take time off of my then-current job to attend. After a one-hour phone screen. Who ended up not hiring me anyway.
This is for organisations that either do not have skilled developers, or for organisations where the development team doesn't look after core infrastructure.

The target audience for this is traditional sysadmin roles and Windows technicians - in other words, people who are not used to non-GUI stuff.
The paper's abstract mentions that, "previous studies reported that testosterone administration impaired cognitive empathy in healthy humans."

When you're trying to replicate previous studies but get a null result, it's reasonable to put that right in the title.
What exactly is the bar for truly long-lived here? What are the examples they're referring to?
Ya you just have to scale by lifestyle factors. If the lifestyle factors are likely to change with location, then you definitely need to account for that with respect to your personal situation.
You can use existing information, especially that you are on this site you should know where to look.

Even ignoring this, how many successful European startups did you hear about? How many from US? Just rough numbers, are they anywhere equal or for each European one you have dozen or more in US?
No, in a truly free market the corporations can just pass on the negative externalities of their actions without any consequences if the other actors don't understand the negatives.

Ex. Price of oil doesn't count in future damages from climate change -> inputs to product are cheaper -> corporations profit while everyone is negatively impacted.

You really need a free market, with any global negative externalities taken care of by a government. I don't see why people (not talking about you) don't understand this.
"Without needing a car" is pretty vague. There are many people in the USA who live all over who don't own a car.

I lived in a small town of 4,500 people without a car too. Same for a 20,000 person one. Same for a 160,000 one. Same for a 600,000+. I've done it in multiple 1+ million cities too.

It doesn't mean your quality of life is the same as it would be with a car.

Regardless - I don't think comparing Germany to the USA with population density is going to work. A lot of Germany is clustered with high density. You can put a million people in 1 square mile, leave 999 square miles empty and it'll have the same population density as any other 1000 square mile 1000/mi region.

Sprawl is the issue with the USA. That 600 habits per square mile goes out forever whereas in Germany it has a tendency to fall off exponentially.

If you go to places like Norway then you'll notice they won't even let people build outside their city proper. Once you get outside Oslo, it turns completely green and there's just road and rail. Almost no houses until you get to small dense towns. In comparison to the USA where the houses go on and on and on and on and on and on. The lots just get bigger and bigger whereas the homes in these other countries tend to stay the same size and so does the property.
Did you visit London or any other western Europe city? I am asking because my parents live in 40 km away from the border of Bulgaria, in Turkey.
Secondarily, the backlog has increased which implies they're demand-limited.
'I may be a sorry case, but I don't write jokes in base 13.' - Douglas Adams
Some slight differences :)

Amazon chooses to make little/no profit as a long-term business strategy to reinvest everything.

Tesla is forced to make little/no-profit as a short-term business obligation to their suppliers.
Can the Taycan compete on price, speed, range, and charging network? AFAIK it loses in all of those categories.

Unless the position was for serious fuck you money and I really needed it, there's no way in hell I would tolerate 2 full day interviews.

I'm also guilty for spending lots of after work days studying for jobs I really wanted and getting rejected but at least I didn't burn any of my precious vacation days.
What's there to know? You divert some orthogonalizable flow (orders,
accounts, widgets, etc.) to a parallel setup. The trick is orthogonalizable
because if something in the main flow depends on something in the test flow,
you're in for it.
Ah my mistake, I didn't realize you were including Q4 2018 :) Still think it's a bit of an unfair comparison to compare Tesla's worldwide sales to other car makers' US sales.

Edit: Just realized the Model 3 actually is the 12th best selling vehicle in the US for September! 20th best selling vehicle in the US in Q3 :) Source: http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/us-vehicle-sales-figures-by-mod...
The location where a fan could hit the fuselage at dangerous speeds is probably well concealed no? As in, once spinning it's probably feasible that the fan hit the fuselage on the back, in the area right next to the fans, but unlikely that it hits on the front, near the cockpit, far from the fan.

I wonder if it could be an effective strategy to re-enforce the parts of fuselage that could be hit instead of encasing the fans themselves.
Your key takeaways align with mine, but FYI:

> the browser speaks HTTPS to my router, and my router speaks HTTPS to the servers

Usually this isn't the case. Browsers that aren't configured to use a proxy connect directly to some web server using TCP and as speak HTTP to it. On a lower level, it's being facilitated by IP traffic routed by your own router, the ISP and the Internet.

There are "Forward" HTTP proxies (e.g. software like Squid) that act like HTTP clients on the web and provide the real user with results. I suppose they're being set up at large organizations by IT, or at home by privacy geeks but I know no consumer router that does that out of the box.

> This seems to use private education as a benchmark for the entire argument. From quit rates, to pay, to conditions, and beyond, but ignores the obvious which is that private pay and private conditions are largely pinned to be just above public salaries and conditions

I read the article and over and over it mentions "public-school teachers" and "public-school students".

It mentions that the union lobbying organization compares their salaries to that of private sector employees with different jobs, but Masters, and who are not in rural areas as much as teachers. The author then argues that may not be the best comparison.

No where in the article do we see a look at private school teachers as you claim.

It's fascinating you're the top voted comment and no one has noticed your thesis isn't true. This suggests no one here in this entire thread has read the article. Weird.

Anyway, private school teacher salaries are generally lower than public school teachers anyway. Good teachers will take a salary hit to have better students, more control of their classroom and curriculum, and enforced discipline. When I went to a private school most of the teachers had PhDs and the classes were comparable to university level.
“The Mom Test” by Rob Fitzpatrick is in my mind the most revolutionary and essential business book for indie hackers in the last 20 years. It would have saved me $1.4 million in my attempt to beat craigslist at its own game a decade ago.

I prefer stop signs to roundabouts. In Ireland, I experienced several low-radius roundabouts in succession, and they always made me nauseous.

If roundabouts are made large enough to be pleasant, they are fine but take up a lot of space.

I'm very impressed with countries that slow down traffic by making the street a little narrower.
The short term "necessities" for tariffs aside, I don't see why in the long run we shouldn't be working toward eliminating all tariffs to begin with.

The argument:
-The US consumer buys $100B in Japanese products.
-Japan consumers buys $50B in US products.

US cries: We spent $50B more on your products, you MUST buy ours or we will raise tariffs.

How is that fair? I provide you with a product you wanted, and now instead of being allowed the same courtesy I have to chose between accepting a product back I don't want, or being hurt on my ability to reach my customer base?

It just seems like a mechanism for less productive producers to cheat by using the government to show arbitrary favoritism instead of actually working on improving their product(s) to service ALL their customers better.

> I do think that the default assumption is that people are better with more choices

The problem is that the default assumption is not a universal truth. It's a rule of thumb.

If someone is in bad financial shape and I offer a loan to them, they'll probably take it because they have immediate pain that they want to fix. They are not likely to consider that the loan may ease their immediate problem, but will cause the problem to come back, but worse, later on. This is basic human behavior -- we care more about what is real right now than what will become real later on.

Lenders, however, know this (or should), and to give such people the "choice" of making their situation worse later on in exchange for temporary relief right now is simply inhumane. I don't think it's unfair to characterize that lending behavior as "predatory".
Yes, but irrelevant. The details of the Walmart brand are essentially unknown in the UK, and the very fact that Walmart are now trying to sell ASDA for almost the same nominal amount they bought it for 20 years ago demonstrates the exact difficulty I was referring to.
