It means those guys weren't innovative enough to keep making them money in some way that they wished they would.
And you seemed to have completely missed my point.

Car companies have been doing nothing for years. But now for the first time they are all 100% committed to EV. And as we've seen with the Taycan, EQC and the ID.3/4 they can easily compete with Tesla.

If you think the Taycan is better in "every respect" then you haven't cross shopped them.

Its a good car, but this is as exaggerated a position as I've seen from anyone on either side.

Some people take it as a point of pride they eat no greens. I think you're sorely underestimating how much they value eating meat all the time.

Is Free Trading Ripping You Off?
Duh. YES. It's a scam. Look at the shiny "free" thing and don't notice that your assets in their hands is making them billions and billions of dollars. They make money on the interest they earn while holding your cash. They make money off of the payment for oder flow when you trade. They make money loaning out your stocks. Free trading is a hoax. Get in line to join allofusfinancial.com. We're going to give almost every dollar we make back to you. If you have $100,000 on our platform, we won't charge you a dime over $500 annually. That's capped at 50 basis points a year. Payed out of the savings we find for you, not out of cash in your account. All of the cash beyond fifty basis points goes back to you. Where it belongs. The system is changing because for years it's been built to serve the brokers, not the investors. #getpaidtotrade #gameover
The other bit of evidence she cites but doesn't quantify is that marketing new cards causes incremental debt.

That said, I largely agree with your sentiment that the article doesn't provide sufficient quantification. You also might want to consider that the author might have experience seeing that quantification and making decisions based on it that can't be shared in The New Republic without violating confidentiality agreements.

One lens through which to view this: Is a culture that tends to view its customers as mathematical entities likely to make the best decisions either for their customers or themselves? That's the real tragedy and is half of the explanation for the paradox that such genuinely intelligent and kind people do things that hurt others (and in some cases themselves).

Also idea for a power up if you're so inclined: when you get a hole in one on normal mode, visualize the gravity wells for the next level or two.
I would like the meetup question addressed as well. There are a ton of demographic focused groups on meetup and with a lot more members and active groups.

Porsche has 250 kw, just like Tesla does on the LR Model 3. But supposedly Porsche will soon have 350 kw.

The real metric is miles added per minute, though, and I haven't really seen an apples to apples comparison there.
It's pretty easy. With CL.exe (Microsoft's Visual Studio compiler) just use the /SUBSYSTEM:EFI_APPLICATION flag. You may have to manually specify the entry point. Note that there's no default cstdlib, so if you want to use the EFI APIs (e.g. for a "printf" function or other things from the article), you'll need to tell the compiler about the header definitions (as you would any C API).
There's some key part of this equation I'm missing.

The premise is that Microsoft wants to focus on Windows 10 but developing security fixes for Windows 7 isn't any cheaper now than it was when Windows 7 was 90% of the userbase, therefore Microsoft wants to stop developing W7 security fixes. But they'll let you pay them to keep developing security fixes for your devices and only your devices. If W7 security fix development is so expensive, how can these fees cover it? Once the fixes exist, why couldn't they be applied to everyone else's Windows 7 PCs? Would it take only a single person with access to the new post-sunset security fixes to distribute them to the rest of the internet in a form of piracy?
Are you looking for Devops?
Not the OP, but 'app dialogs' and their utility/uselessness are symptomatic of the underlying philosophy and business culture which made them a 'requirement' - so if the app dialog is undesirable, it carries implications about the internal environment in which it was developed, which may prompt someone to leave.

alternately: this was the person pushing the undesirable things, and other people pushed that person out as 'bad news', or, this person couldn't push more 'bad things' through effectively enough to his own liking and so left.
I imagine quite a few businesses will pay.

We'll certainly be at least reading up on this. Small business environment, running 7 Pro on most of our desktops, zero interest in Windows 10, zero interest in getting involved with enterprise-level administrative mess, but still stuck on Windows for at least some of those machines because of a few business-critical software packages and therefore still interested in getting security updates for those machines.

That said, given Microsoft's recent track record, half of me is expecting the other shoe to drop here. In particular, if it turns out that the updates offered are like the full monthly roll-ups and bundle in things like ambiguous telemetry and other user-hostile changes, our interest will immediately drop to zero in this as well. That sort of junk is part of the reason we're avoiding 10 in the first place.

There’s no mention of the amount of plastic caught, so I think it’s a safe guess it isn’t spectacularly high.

They also (IMO) somewhat avoid answering a question about it in the video (at 29m30s, “if you do the math, with enough time and enough systems, you can do it”). Or am I too skeptical about this?

Seems like there's a company offering those patches to individuals: https://blog.0patch.com/2019/09/keeping-windows-7-and-window...

As a Windows 7 user myself (on a personal computer) for whom upgrading seems clearly net negative, I'm tempted. Has anyone here used their stuff?
Obviously "barely edible" is subjective; I like many, although not all, of the flavors I've tried. Beyond that, RxBars are high in fiber -- something a lot of American diets are pretty low in -- and high in protein. Its fat is mostly unsaturated. And while it's certainly not low sugar, it has no added sugar -- the sugar in them comes from fruit, mostly dates.

So, no, they're probably not "health food," but they're no worse than much of their ostensible competition and arguably better than many, some of which are way closer to Snickers bars than RxBars.
Probably they were too expensive for people who buy laptops for work and too ugly for people who buy laptops for showcase.
They are a very common design-pattern in traditional C, as you kind of emulate object-oriented virtual function overloading by using them in structs. I don't think it's realistic to avoid them just by principle..

As in network server hardening, you can usually start by following where user-provided data goes, and harden its path.

In this case however the first problem was a clandestine bug (the double free in some cases), probably induced by the programmer trying to be a bit too clever with the management of these structs (if you're not threaded you could simply have a single static declaration for this info struct and forget the malloc/freeing, or at least malloc it just once upon each thread init, haven't looked at this code..).

Generally keeping track of all malloc/free pairs is tricky and you can go a long way by trying to simplify your logic, I mean even if you don't get exploited like this, you might simply crash sometime or leak memory or in general behave badly.

There are good reasons why there exist all kinds of memory-managed languages :)
Do you realise that most of satellite jamming is done on uplink, not downlink?

That remains to be seen. There's no evidence yet. As I already said, people have been making that exact argument for years.
I'm going to defend my "only" as at 2kg per wheel it's about 10% of the weight of tires and wheels (presumably disc brakes are also unsprung. so total increase would be less than 10%) of a (stock) BMW 3 series with 16" aluminum alloy wheels[1].

[edit]

Disc brakes add about 9.5kg on the front[2] (maybe half that on the rear?), so a single disc brake rotor weighs more than the entire weight of all 4 motors.

Obviously this is using Magnax's numbers for very large motors and assuming they scale down, which is silly, but clearly there is some weight at which it would make sense, particularly for a non-high-performance vehicle (1 motor per wheel has lots of advantages for handling, but AFAICT this is not unique to in-wheel motors).

For those that don't want to read the article, it is about the program Google has to post little newsletters about programming tools in their bathrooms. They hang them over the urinals too.

I was at Google for an event recently and found it interesting to read as I used the urinal. It was about an internal tool though so it didn't mean much to me.
The term that is generally accepted is "cis" or "cisgendered"
The distinguishing term is cis (born that way) vs trans (hormones, ops etc). Hence I'm a cis male because I was born as one. Had I become one I'd be a trans male. I think that's right.

> "regular women" can be perceived as insensitive to trans women

I know a few trans (mostly t-women) and insensitivity/nastiness is AFAIK not so tied to gender.
Well mission accomplished .. I guess. A great documentary if you haven't seen it is "Iraq: No End in Sight." It's pretty clear that the completely failed (non-existent) reconstruction efforts of the Bush administration would lead eventually to a failed state.

The same thing is happening in Libya after the Obama era bombings. These places weren't democratic paradises before or anything; I'm not saying that. They had corruption and human rights issues -- but they were stable. People who didn't protest against the government and weren't in poverty could usually live in relative peace. You can say the same thing about China to some extent as well.
You really should put that or a similar example on your landing page to show potential customers just what is possible

Well, it may first be worth asking how many Apple Watches have been sold overall. I haven't found any good stats for that, but it seems like it's around 30 million, and sales may have slowed down since then.

Meanwhile the iPhone's sales are in the hundreds of millions, and more are sold per year than there are Apple Watches sold since launch.

So it's quite probable many developers don't see the need to make apps for the device. The market isn't large enough compared to other places they could be focusing their resources.

Outside of that, as people have said, Apple Watch development was difficult early on, there are fairly few concepts that make sense for apps on a watch compared to on a smartphone, and it's more challenging working within the constaints of a watch than a phone overall.

So it seems like more work for a more limited set of concepts on a device that may not have a market large enough to justify the effort.

> as we've seen with the Taycan and the ID.3/4 they can easily compete with Tesla.

The Taycan is not really competing with anything but Tesla's highest-end and presumably lowest-volume products, and the ID.3 and 4 don't exist as production cars yet (AFAIK).

Competing with them is obviously possible but these aren't very good examples.
Something else they received backlash for is them limiting devices on the free tier to only 3.

From a pragmatic perspective, what is the West and the US in particular supposed to do about this?

We shouldn't have gone into Iraq in 2003 in the first place, but we did, so what now?

Our government is going to keep its boot on the neck of Iraq and stay involved over there as long as Iraq still has oil, right? If the problem now is more that we have too little influence, so what? Are we supposed to try regime change again because it worked so well last time?

The current Iraqi regime may not be good, but neither was Saddam. We still should have left Saddam alone, excepting targeted strikes if we ever got good intelligence about WMD programs.
Boo hoo. The people who got them to the point of selling still have to show up and actually do real work.

Maybe "products" are actually bad when they lock you into an ecosystem like the company Steve Jobs headed does.
Assuming this is a genuine offer from Microsoft, the strategy could be as simple as assuming there are going to be very many small businesses reluctant to move from 7 to 10 by January because of the well-documented concerns about 10, but still wanting to keep a responsible level of security updates applied on their machines. Businesses in that position seem unlikely to resort to dubious sources for their security updates. It's just not worth the risk, or frankly even the time, assuming the costs for getting the updates legitimately as quoted in the article are accurate.
This story is extremely saddening. It's sickening that Trump the supposed leader of the free world continues to ignore allegations against this tyrannical Saudi regime. America and frankly the world need to do better.
That's a nice idea - might be a bit tricky though. I'll consider it.

I like the ghost arrow idea a lot - I'm thinking of adding that to hard mode.
Stock price is down 26% in the past year. Either the CEO wants to show that serious steps are being taken to right the ship or the CTO is leaving for greener pastures. Since the article quoted the CTO as saying that he’s starting his venture career, I’m guessing it’s the former.
> This is the usual procedure by the freedom government

The "freedom" government blocks the internet to censor people? I find that somewhat ironic...

(I presume that's the name of the party in power or something. It sure doesn't seem like it's a description of their behavior.)
Probably that's why Google is trying to improve network protocols (QUIC, HTTP/3) rather than relying on one-off optimizations described in the article.

There was no specification in the OP's comment about whether it's good or bad. But the fact remains that all politics is local.

With the exception of the president, people vote for their local city government, their local county government, their local school board, their local senator, their local representative, and on the macro level (governor), they vote for the person who they think will best help their own, local interests.
In the Netherlands at least that pension is proportional to the number of years you worked in the Netherlands, so it would be very small indeed. And health care isn't free, just insurance is mandatory and standardized.

I think your apparently non controversial answer is spot on. However the idea that people are getting poorer is a highly contrarian position.
They screwed up a perfect piece of software.
Honestly, unless they're doing really stupid things, they were announced dead every month during the previous years. Incapable of scaling etc etc.. Now they do. I think they'll do fine. (unless they do stupid things)
But how do you detect when something is broken or know when it is good enough to deploy everywhere?
My wife used to be a teacher and there is something I haven't seen mentioned and that is all the district support staff. Her district had literally hundreds of high paid support staff. Many were older former teachers that either wanted out of the classroom or were moved to a support position instead of being let go, often with a pay raise.

Eliminating all the unnecessary support positions and dividing those salaries amongst teachers could result in a more balanced salary for teachers.
A Starlink dish is a transmitter, which is a beacon that says "come arrest me!" or "drop bomb here."

Seriously though: as bad as Trump is, I still think Bush II was by far the worst president of the past 100 years. Trump would have to do something much worse than he's already done to match Bush's accomplishments.
Yeah by all means you don't have to implement what everyone suggests.

No one can “easily compete” with Tesla until they’ve secured 50GWh+ scale battery production and built out a global high-speed charging network that approaches the supercharger network’s coverage.
The screens get wobbly at that point. I think 3:2 is pretty good.

At least in the US, trademark law is use it or lose it. If you are not selling products bearing your trademark, you are not actually engaging in "trade" with your "mark."

Copyright law is automatic, but it does complicate things if the original author of a copyrighted work is unknown or difficult to contact. For licensing, you need a name and address of an entity to license from. The whole idea behind Banksy's art is that he's anonymous, so precludes the idea of licensing his work.

Seems like this is maybe Apollo "shedding" it's older, non-related parts.

Seems like this kind of shedding, without screwing over your users, is exactly what they focus on.

How taxpayers may wind up subsidizing Uber and WeWork’s losses
Looking at it, it is revenue, gross profit and net income are all increasing by double digit percentage, every year.
Still Tesla is spending a lot more, but less every year compare to the revenue. They are expanding quite quickly (new factory in China starting to produce this month), maybe too quickly ?
It would be interesting to see during the next 6 months, how the production in China affects Tesla results.
I don't understand the matter of it either. If you badly feel you're in the wrong body and you want it changed, I'm ok with that. I don't see any other reasons are needed.
Giving them gifts from the gods (i.e. packages without contact) would only make them reliant on us and could have unknown effects on their culture, increasing (if they have it) human sacrifice in times of illness, for example.
Tesla's never copied an existing production line either though. The Model S, X, and 3 lines were all novel for Tesla. The Shanghai line should be a copy of the 3 line from Fremont for the most part.
