That annualized delivery growth figure does not take into account that the Fremont factory is pegged, they have another factory coming online this quarter, and have 4 unreleased vehicles in the pipeline—-more than doubling their lineup—-one of which (Model Y crossover) is in the hottest segment.
I have had a vasectomy (which my urologist knows, cause his office did it). I'd be curious why you say that. Is there a link?

Not outrageously expensive. I imagine quite a few businesses will pay.

Some robots feel like human flesh. They cost a bit more, but they are getting more real every year. I would be ok with interacting with one of those robots, provided it has a sense of humor.
Seems like you could use an invertible bloom filter or similar, but I'm not sure what the performance hit would look like.
Probably chronic allergies with post nasal drip. They've probably had it their whole life and don't even realize how often they're doing it. That doesn't make it an easier to tolerate though.
Actually talked with my therapist about this exact thing; apparently we're in a weird industry where your side projects matter more than your actual work that you're paid to produce.

The look on their face as I'm explaining how if I ever quit my job I'll need to put twice as much work into side projects to stay relevant was... enlightening.
Money talks, and RedHat is a business like any other. If customers are willing to pay more than it costs to continue supporting it, why wouldn't they do that?

As to why companies can't move forwards: writing tests sucks. whether it's the scaffolding, or perfect is the enemy of the good, writing tests is harder than it wants to be, if someone hasn't put in the effort to set up the codebase to be ready to accept tests. writing tests are often skipped, especially in older codebases that predate today's culture of testing, and even tests are often wrongly skipped in favor of expediency. Thus refactoring or rewriting old codebases is fraught with fear that it will cause regressions.

> you don't live in the UK which is ... full of red busses.

Well, London certainly is, the rest of the country tends to be mixed between green (arriva) and white/purple (first) these days.

In the days before deregulation, red was indeed the most common colour country-wide, but even then there were abhorrations such as west yorkshire's green and cream - there's another conversation to be had about 1950s and 1960s liveries composed of 'and cream' combinations that probably started with BR (well, the BTC then, which would have been the parent 'company' for most local bus services) 'crimson and cream' carriage livery - known colloquially as 'Blood and Custard'.

- You'll take my dual and triple monitor setup from my home office and work-office over my cold dead body

- But... on the go? Yes, I want the biggest possible screen, but also the best possible keyboard+trackpoint. So the new Surface Neo feels less than ideal.

I am open to possibility that a breakthrough in UI will make this attractive, and/or that brand-new, unimagined-today use-cases will come up; but today, I don't see how / for what I'd use dual screen with soft keyboard:

1. When I'm consuming media, portability is key AND I can only really focus on one screen (book, show) at the time
2. When I'm creating, I need a fast, comfortable, efficient method of inputing data. Today it's keyboard+trackpoint (when on the go), and I cannot imagine a useful way to type on dual screen that doesn't also make one of the screens pointless.
So for me, today, transformable tablets (with hardware detachable keyboard, the way Asus Transformer used to be) is the sweet spot.

But I'm eager to be proven wrong over the course of time. I fear this may be a Catch-22 device, if insufficient software/use-cases are available by the time hardware comes out, and it just fizzles out...

Conversely, what Asus is doing where I can have my cake and eat it too (second screen AND hardware keyboard, though it doesn't look great and no trackpoint), feels like the way to go / immediately useful / good transition device.

Are people really unable to tell the difference between when something is possible versus when it's likely? Maybe it's just my perspective as a physicist, but the gulf between those two things can be immense.

Considering the factory coming online very soon, I think the situation is looking pretty good, actually.
If the government's strategy was so risky, then why did it make money? The government wasn't gambling that there wouldn't be a crisis -- they intervened right in the middle of the crisis.

(I should have said became riskier, though. Of course the assets had some risk.)

Can you clarify the question? Big G is a constant everywhere. I can't think of an equivalent for little g (9 81). If you chose to define something it would depend where you are.

While the whole 'hate speech' concept does have its issues, it's still only about what you say, not what you don't say.

What is debated here is actually compelling speech, forcing someone to say specific things or be punished. This is not covered by hate speech concept/laws, and firmly puts its proponents on the level of medieval Church.
This is incorrect - if you have more than 10 employees that handle data, and that basically means everyone sitting behind a computer, your company has to designate someone as data privacy officer who has to make sure that things get handled according to GDPR.

These rules arent strictly enforced yet, but when you run into issues and it can be shown that you didn´t take steps to implement it, it has consequences.

I'm not sure how much that holds with the government running public schools and the primary stakeholders being children.

For example if you didn't really care the much about building a software project, but had to do it, you could probably find some 'developers' who would do the work for the same salary that teachers work at.

I'm not sure how the outcome would compare to that of public schools.

Your pitch is making an assumption that the hacker news audience is not in your demographic. It reminds me of back in the day when the example incompetent user was "your mother" or "your grandmother". I am a competent grandmother - I have a few thoughts:

1. My friend Jeff Johnson has a book on designing for the older users. "Designing User Interfaces for an Aging Population: Towards Universal Design" He lives in San Francisco if you want to contact him. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WPBK2V4/ref=dbs_a_def_r...

2. The Bay Area seems problematic for this age group because of rising housing prices. My non-technical friends are moving out of the area because they can cash out. My friends who are staying largely are technical or married to someone technical. I would target an area that seniors are moving into and need to meet new people rather than an area where seniors are leaving.

3. I am not sure how this is different than meetup. You would have to sell me to pay $15 a month when meetup is free until you want to host an event. Then it is $10 a month. And young people and men can come!

4. Most women are better at making and keeping friends than men. I actually do regularly hang out with friends that I have collected over the years.

5. I prefer mixed age groups.

6. I prefer mixed genders.
The biggest thing with teacher salaries that people usually forget is that you have to multiply by 1.2 to 1.25 to get the equivalent for a 9-5 job that works year round, if you want to compare apples to pomegranates. My mother as a school teacher worked 190 days a year. I work 245 days a year.

Granted, you're going to struggle to pull in the same kind of hourly rate during the summers working a seasonal job, unless it is something special. But, if you have a family, your kids are going to be off school anyway, so you could actually spend some time with them. There's some trade offs.
Full disclosure, I’m an undergrad at Yale.

I think that the high graduation rates at Ivy schools are fundamentally misleading in a couple of ways, if your takeaway is that getting a degree there must be easy. First of all, for academic and demographic reasons, most people at these schools would still have overwhelming odds of graduating elsewhere. Broadly speaking, it’s not the “dumbest” kids who flunk out, but those who are least likely to be in college in the first place.

The comparison of Berkeley/MIT/Caltech is interesting in that their attrition rate is much higher than HYP etc. IMO that reflects well on academic standards for the “alt ivies”, but I think the crucial point here is to recognize that academic programs have substantial influence in this regard.

Most obviously, there’s the difference in grading across fields, with STEM being the least forgiving across the board at top institutions. Thus it’s natural that the STEM dominant institutions have higher burnout.

The second, less obvious piece has to do with rules around changing programs, and opportunity cost. Notably most of the Ivy schools (and many alt schools) allow students to switch majors without significant hassle. Since many “soft” majors at Ivy schools are still on the FIRE/Consulting pipeline, the natural course of action for someone who’s underperforming in a more difficult program is to remain in the institution and change their major. This isn’t necessarily true for the STEM-first schools, whose humanities undergrads are less successful winding up in a lucrative east coast industry.

So I’m inclined to think it’s more about incentives than any conscious effort by the schools.
The problem with the teacher pay to me is obvious, market forces aren't allowed to play themselves out.

Think about it:
A teacher should be paid according to their skill, supply, and demand. A great teachers time is highly valuable and there should never be a cap on how much they make or considerations on such an important task to hinder on concepts such as tenure.

If I hire a private teacher for my kids to teach them programming, I know that a great teacher has options to go work anywhere and I need to pay enough to afford a good one. I might get a couple friends kids to join to afford his time. Put together a few different subjects and all of the sudden you have a school.

So the question is why is this simple concept not being followed? The answer is lack of accountability, artificial barriers to entry, limitations on control to pick your instructors, standardized testing requirements, checkbox mentality, teachers unions, etc.

Steve Jobs was right, if were going to continue taking money from peoples paychecks to fund a dilapidated educational system, we are much better off giving the money we spend on a kids education directly to the parents (with the obligation to spend it only on education), and letting them select the course of education for their own kids themselves.
This device’s whole point would be outside of the “we” point of view.

In general “we” don’t need a revolution of the current form factor. A sizeable portion of users have stopped upgrading and wait for their current phone to be dead, some are already clamoring for less, going back to iPhoneSE like phones.

I think the duo is not targeting the “we”, but way more specific user niches who have non generic goals and are not happy with even the bigger phones we have now. These people could be enough to float a product line, even if it doesn’t fish the other 90% of the users and their dogs.

I’d compare it to the Surface Studio, which was never expected to be a general public device as well.

I've had e-transfers just disappear on me. Sent a friend a few hundred bucks I owed him. The money got debited from my account, but he never received the e-transfer email. Called my bank, they said the money was sent and there was nothing they could do. Called his bank, they said the transfer never appeared and there was nothing they could do. Eventually it got refunded into my account after like a month, but imagine if I was living paycheque-to-paycheque and I was sending off rent.

Other times, I've had e-transfers delayed by a few hours. This is fine if I'm sending off rent, but what if I'm trying to buy something off craigslist? I can't exactly hang out with the seller for a few hours waiting for Interac to get their shit together. This isn't an email issue: Interac acknowledges that transfers may take "up to a day" on their site.

Further, e-transfers cost money to both send and receive at most/some institutions, while cheques are free. E-transfers also can't be scheduled in advance like post-dated cheques can.

Cheques may be antiquated tech but they're still very much useful for certain applications.
I thought Adroid had its own BSDish libc, not glibc? (But the implementation is likely mostly-identical anyway.)
This fucking year...

So, for starters I'm already really depressed and low energy due to a death of a really close family member. I have particularly low tolerance and high fatigue due to this.

So, we shipped a product, successfully on time in a company that has had many years of difficulty of shipping products in our target market. Which was the goal. So the new management decides to disband the team, most of the team is already laid off.

I get moved into an adjacent org, onto a ~15 person team building a complicated piece of technology that I have great expertise in, and have built 3 versions at other companies to commercial viability, sounds great.

Well, the team has nobody else anymore who has the experience building the tech we are trying to build. Has existed for nearly one year, and (almost?) the entire team has changed through attrition already (maybe more than once). We have the sunk cost of almost 150k lines of code, that is immensely over-architected, and still doesn't provide any customer visible features for what's expected of this type of software. The team is stuck thinking way to big, and the few people who will focus are kept chasing around the rest of the team like cats. At this rate we will build something that can solve any conceivable problem in about 20 years.

There are already a lot of hands in "architecture". Politics, and honestly my previously mentioned fatigue are preventing me from fighting the engineering fight I need to try to get a handle on it myself.

I honestly like the new manager enough. He listens to my complaints and recognizes my experience, but solving the problems are more difficult, and honestly I think we really should just scrap everything. This is already a rewrite and we have an old version of the code base that would be a better start, or I have enough experience to properly build a new one. But the sunk cost fallacy is ohh so stronger when you have this much of a sunk cost, and a lot of expectations from execs and external teams.

Ohh, and build times are like 40+ fucking minutes on a good day in a fast machine.

Anyways, thanks for an opportunity to rant.
It's not easy to define a gravitational acceleration for the milky way since for planets it's defined on the surface and the milky way has no clear boundary per se.

Why do we think they are production limited instead of demand limited? They’ve had to lower ASPs for close to 5 consecutive quarters. That’s not indicative of production constrained.

>I had a college professor in the nineties who took the whole “goddess culture” thing very seriously, that those many (many) figurines like the Venus of Willendorf were indisputable proof of a matriarchal prehistoric society.

1000 years from now such a college professor would declare that we today were living in a “goddess culture” and matriarchal society based on the prevalence in the corresponding archaeological strata of the main cultural artifact of our time - Internet - of the depictions of women with the "Parts of the body associated with fertility and childbearing have been emphasized" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_of_Willendorf#Interpreta...)

>Modern archaeologists have noticed that these figures are usually found in the junk heaps of digs along with broken things and animal bones

And the future archaeologists would probably also notice that the major collections of those supposedly "goddess culture" and the matriarchate related depictions were mostly kind of separate from the other artifacts of that ancient Internet.

I had at least a dozen projects in as many months started, reach a completed state, then canceled.

I'm on a very small team, I am the only expert in infrastructure, but all infrastructure code is reviewed by the lead engineer who is a complete novice at AWS/GCP. I've written thousands of words of documentation and had entire weeks of phone calls to explain what is going on and the rationale behind decisions. Those efforts have thus far been in vain, and large swaths of my docs have been deleted during yet another wiki reorganization.

In my other areas of responsibility I am prompt, spot-on, and thorough. I bring experience and perspective, challenge half-baked ideas gently and constructively, and have shipped tons of solutions. I keep proving myself, and I do my best to celebrate my other team member's wins.

I'm frustrated when I make common-sense suggestions that are skimmed over, misunderstood, and get argued against seemingly by default. Plain wrong solutions get approval, and prudent, cost-effective ones are ignored or even ridiculed.

I would understand a bit of politics and orthodoxy on a large team, but for such a small team I'm stymied as to why that needs to exist. I keep losing bits of myself as my genuine efforts are met with forceful rejection, day in and day out. I've sought direct feedback and gotten vague responses if any, followed by closed door meetings about me as I do.

The problem is, I believe in the company, even if my team is killing me.
