Read the Tesla forums about the reliability issues they have, and awake to the marketing spin of "fewer parts" being conflated with more reliable.
Personal savings can be equally disastrous - it's mismanagement of a pool or an individual. I get that individualism runs high, especially in this sector, which is running hot and people are enjoying being highly desirable, but pensions took the concern of managing retirement from the average worker for a generation. Would the average pensioned worker in 70's or 80's have had access to the education and resources required to ensure that they could save what they needed to to retire? I don't know.
I'm in Europe and my salary is far from guilt-inducing.
Many great videos on YouTube showing just how flight simulatorish orbiter really is.

You spend a lot of time figuring out how to time burns to manage your orbit.
No. Communism is a stateless and classless society, that, in Marxism, is the next step after the "dictatorship of the proletariat", or the ideology that wants to achieve this state. Socialism is the public ownership of the means of production. Communism is a form of socialism.
No, it is not in the same range; RX 5500 competes with the lower mid-range of GTX 1650 and 1660S coming soon.

What is the difference between Rentenversicherung and Social Security? They sound like the same thing.
Can I get a source for this? This just seems like a meatless claim meant to harm a company
Totally agree. When I first encountered Go, I kinda hated it for its lugubrious combination of being rather "braindead" and opinionated about being braindead at the same time. Typing it every day gave me flashbacks of programming Java circa JDK 1.4 (before the compiler-only based generics were introduced in 1.5, which I still believe didn't solve enough problems for the complexity it added). In short, it felt like a step backward.

But after seeing its gc performance sitting at the single-digit ms timeframes with huge heaps (60 gigabytes!) I realized I needed to hold my nose.

What helped me make peace with it is its automated testing story. It's baked into the language in a way I've rarely seen in any other runtime.
Most Deepfakes Are Porn, and They're Multiplying Fast
All the people I know with money that have shared their effective tax rate pay way less than I do. Way less than this chart shows as well. I'm talking down to the single digits for effective tax rate. I can't 100% confirm that they're telling the truth, but I'm not sure why they would lie.

I have not used it but I have heard it is as lightweight as you want (in the sense that it may be huge but you only need to use the basics if that is all you need).

But it has been quite a while since I last used Perl for cgi.
How has the conviction rate changed since 1999?
Cost and service (call it reliability) were my biggest issues.

I have a long commute and needed to buy an economical car a little over 2 years ago. I live in a rural community and anticipated that it would be difficult to get a Tesla worked on. I pass multiple Chevy dealers on my way to work, so I bought a Cruze diesel. For the difference in up front cost, I can buy a lot of diesel -- at least enough for the first 200k miles and probably more. And if it breaks, I know I can get it serviced locally.

Teslas are really cool cars, but the math and potential ownership hassles still don't work for me.
It's not that they can't, more that they don't want to, because that gives them leverage on their employees. Look at the recent GM strike : not happy ? We're cutting your health insurance. They reversed it ultimately but I bet it'll make people think twice next time they're thinking about going on a strike.

And you know what is even more efficient than market-based health insurance and pensions ? Socialist state-level monopolies. Yep, costs in Europe are about half of what they are in the US. Turns out governments are not more inefficient than companies, especially very large ones.
I don't think BMW's business model is lazy. You'll come up against design decisions again and again where the trade-off is performance vs. reliability.

Toyota would more often choose the latter, BMW the former.
It sounds like the post-shift screening shouldn't be necessary. If they're not paying you, you should be free to go. The worker should try opting-out of the screening: it should be an OSHA issue if you can't freely leave the building at anytime.
That makes no sense to me. If the company makes them undergo security screenings, they were hired to undergo security screenings. By this logic, it seems like they could make them do an hour of phone support at the beginning and end of each shift since that’s not what they were hired to do.
I‘ve been through the „I‘ll just use it as it comes from the factory“ -> „let me tweak every little thing about this and take it as far as I can“ -> ... cycle more times and with more devices than I care to admit.

This was that moment with my old 30GB iPod, thanks for the trip down memory lane!
> hired to retrieve products from warehouse shelves, not to undergo security screenings, and the company could eliminate the screenings altogether without impairing the employees’ ability to complete their work

Wow. They were hired to do work, not to be locked up for half an hour per day and treated like criminals. Moreover, it is obviously clear that Amazon could just stop locking them up for half an hour per day and treating them like criminals. Therefore Amazon owes them no compensation for locking them up for half an hour per day and treating them like criminals. That is one hell of a Supreme Court ruling.
Free data uploads. You could make unique binaries that when run start seeding a torrent. Maybe MS will put the kibosh on you uploading Seinfeld_S1_E1_obfuscated.exe to their cloud, but... how about a worm serving up its own updates through MS IPs?
POSIX is mentioned. Removing it can't be an issue or Apple and RedHat wouldn't be removing perl/python. There's gotta be something we're missing out.

RedHat is specifically targeted to government and enterprise. They would be aware of that.
Yup. That's the strategy the Military uses - https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/pent...
"At a cost of $400 million, some 1,200 auditors charged into the jungle of military finance, but returned in defeat. They were unable to pass the Pentagon or flunk it. They could only offer no opinion, explaining the military’s empire of hundreds of acronymic accounting silos was too illogical to penetrate"
My experience of learning Spanish as a second language was that there are actually relatively few true irregularities (e.g. ser), and that most of what our tutors referred to as "irregular" were actually regular in their irregularity (e.g. vowel shifts like dormir). I even found after a bit of exposure, I could guess which verbs would take which vowel shifts fairly accurately.

And there are, what, ~16 verb tenses, ~8 of which are compound (ancillary verb+participle: easy to learn) and several are very rare in common discourse.

Personally,if I had to pick a universal language based on how easy it is to learn, I'd definitely pick Spanish!
Note that no where did they apologize for removing her from her position.

Ultimately this was an apology for procedural failings, not their ultimate impacts. Reinstating the removed mod would be correcting something they aren't apologizing for.

Where are your sources that the less complicated drivetrain is more unreliable than an ICE drivetrain? Where are you sources the battery is not in general reaching its mileage rating?
Congrats on shipping it! I'm already using this for my client projects at https://uxready.com and it helped me find some errors and design inconsistencies when I clicked quickly through the screenshots.
Very useful! Really looking forward to your next releases.

Thanks for building this!

It is great, same system exists in my Mini with a pre-touchscreen and I use it with Spotify all the time. I love it to pieces. (edit: Yes, I know Mini is owned by BMW and that is why the same (literally) tech is in my car.)
Speed Is Killing the Planet. Time to Focus on Efficiency
It's hard to export electricity though. Probably better for economic development to focus on industries that can export.
That page has one section about conflicts and other sections explaining the rest. Look for the sentence starting “ Even without a conflict between federal and state law or an express provision for preemption, the courts will infer an intention to preempt state law if the federal regulatory scheme is so pervasive...”
To each their own. That's the beauty of choice! The range is certainly less in the cold, but it is manageable. We drove from Chicago to Kentucky (~385 miles) when it was subzero or so last winter and stopped at the same place we normally do south of Indianapolis to charge and eat dinner. Do you drive straight through 400-500 miles or do you stop to eat and take a restroom break? I live in Chicago and know of this cold you speak of, but not so much of mountains. I don't think EVs are for everyone, or will be capable of every use case for a few years, but they certainly are incredible for the right use cases. Most of the country is blanketed by superchargers and there are in fact 14 of them along the highways in CO (checked via https://supercharge.info) and 9 in NM.

You can watch Netflix while charging in the warmth of your car if you choose (It is called Theater Mode). If Elon is to be believed, and you should always take what he says with a grain of salt, Tesla will have 400 mile range vehicles by the end of next year. The use cases Tesla are bad for are dwindling quite quickly.

The data in this NYT article comes from research by the same authors as the above paper, which shows the top 1% having maximum effective tax rate over the years of around 45%? Confusing to say the least what is the difference.
Yeah, I think the joke is a knock on Bay Area (and SF) restrictions on building up
Rockbox + Sansa Clip+ is absolutely amazing. I wish mine was still alive :(
Note that all the Tesla sales numbers in the article are estimates by the author of the article. There are no sources cited in the article. Other articles on this site from this same author are very clearly biased in favor of Tesla and electric cards in general. I would take this article with a grain of salt to say the least.

FTA: "Tesla reports quarterly sales and does not break them out by country or region. Eventually, we get registration data from Europe, China (educated estimates at least), and Canada and can then make a more solid estimate of US sales for the quarter, as well as monthly sales estimates. However, it’s a bit early for all of that since we don’t have September numbers from most countries yet. Even our data-loving friend and contributor Jose Pontes of EV Volumes didn’t want to venture out too far on a limb and provide an early estimate that he might have to walk back. That said, looking at previous months’ data, September figures from the Netherlands and Norway, and deeper historical data, I feel comfortable estimating Model 3 sales between 40,000 and 50,000 in the US in the third quarter. For this report, I’ve settled on 43,000."
Yep - in fact it would make more sense to me if SO not only allowed duplicate questions, but also added a decay such that even highly-rated Q/A pairs would eventually get overtaken by newer content.

Questions and answers just aren't evergreen things that one can expect to last through the ages. And even if they were, treating them as such means that SO's new users generally can't contribute anything.

I find SO's current model really bizarre.
There is the one liner bash syntax for Ruby:

The -n option processes lines, the $_ magic variable yields from STDIN:

echo "Foo\nBar\nBaz" | ruby -ne 'puts $_.downcase!'

outputs "foo\nbar\nbaz"

The -p option processes lines and prints the output:

echo "My String" | ruby -pe '$_.downcase'

outputs "my string"

Just using -e allows you to pull all of STDIN with gets:

echo "My String" | ruby -e "puts gets.downcase"

is functionally equivalent to the last.

It's mostly for show, and at the end of the day, if the pensioners have enough political clout (like those of GM in 2008/2009), then they will get bailed out for real by Congress.
I fondly remember the days of loading this on my 4th gen iPod, having access to games and such.

I think this sort of behavior should be embraced by manufacturers, but I get it; everything needs its own app store these days for a continuous stream of revenue.
I am pretty sure that I would commit some kind of X-icide if I had to take productive time out of my day for forced social chit-chat of this nature.

They had best have at least donuts available as recompense for inflicting this kind of atrocity. Pizza or Chinese takeout would be more appropriate.
It is true that sex and gender is important cultural factor, but it is also stereotypical and reductionist to take a complex person full of individuality and reduce them down to a single bit of information; is it a he or she.

Taking a historical perspective with gender equality, there is two opposing camps pushing in opposite directions but with the same goal. One side want to eliminate gender, seeing that the shared humanity, traits and behavior is vastly larger than any differences. The other side want to highlight the diversity of gender while maintaining equal value for both.

So looking at both camps, gender is extremely important to people and essential part of humanity, while at the same time the least important part of an complex individual. It is important for gender equality and at the same time an unnecessary detail among a sea of commonalities.

As I identify myself as belonging to one specific camp, I would strongly disagree with the claim that "you can't cut out the gender of the speaker and maintain a human conversation". I try to do that every day and in particular when I see a gender stereotypical (or non-stereotypical) situation. If I meet a male kindergarder teacher I treat them as a individual interesting in working with children, and if I meet a female mechanic I treat them as an individual interested in working with cars. Cutting out the gender of the person makes it easier to maintain that human conversation.
Well, you see, we used to be apes.
I remember loading Rockbox on a Archos Jukebox back in the early 2000's[0] as being one of my first real exposures to using open source software. It was glorious, thanks for the hard work!

The price puts it well within in the luxury car range.
I had experience with one such group (Jehovah's Witnesses), so I can speak only about them, but yes, I believe they would happily accept artificial blood. The transfusion ban for JWs is related to their interpretation of Bible's verses about blood as a symbol, and verses banning consumption of blood. They already accept some blood-derived medication; generally, the smaller subcomponent of blood something is, the more acceptable they find it.

Slog: Cheating the low-latency vs. strict serializability tradeoff
Other than C++ in high school, Perl was one of the first languages that I learned. At the time I was working on Unix systems in a closed off, secured area with no access to the internet. I was doing systems work, and the only tools I really had at my disposal was what was on the servers I had in the space with me. If I was lucky I got a system with a modern Linux OS on it like Red Hat, but sometimes I had to work on a Solaris UNIX system that was pretty bare bones.

The options for scripting were either bash or perl. After some digging around I found some scripts that other engineers wrote in Perl. Mostly using it for text replacement, regex, and basic server functions.

I was intrigued by the weird syntax and very powerful one liners, so I got some books and taught myself basic Perl. I started writing some quick scripts and it made me feel like I had a super power. Most of all, Perl was fun with all the different ways you could do things. It was like a puzzle.

Fast forward to my first "real" software job. Most of the code case was written in Python, so I started learning that. I wrote a couple scripts in Perl to do some basic text stuff that I thought would actually be less elegant in Python. While I thought I was quite clever, the other engineers immediately jumped on me and told me to never write any Perl code again. Something about "hard to maintain", "too many ways to do it", etc.

After that I never wrote any "real" code in Perl, but I kind of want to write some clever, convoluted Perl code just because I can.
We're all professionals - we can learn new skills when they're high-value (like updating tickets with written communication)

I don't like the sentiment that developers doing things out of their comfort zone (like using JIRA) is unreasonable. Just get over it and be a professional.

That said, it's on others to motivate the use of such tools. It's easier to get buy-in when everyone understands the value.
Ok but why not choose an example to show what the language looks like today, vs >10 years ago? Perl CGI is deprecated, so if anything using an example this outdated proves the opposite of your point.

Surely a more constructive comparison might be looking at a 1 page app in Mojolicious vs Flask, Express, etc?
As somebody heavily invested in Perl (just check my nickname, and I've written books about Perl (though Perl 6, not Perl 5)), my impression is that the size of the Perl community is rather stable.

In an overall growing market of programmers and projects, this means a decline of relative market share.

Sources:

* Every four years I organize a German Perl Workshop, and the attendance is roughly the same each year (80-120 people)

* Take a look at the commit stats of the Perl 5 interpreter at github, looks pretty stable over the past years: https://github.com/Perl/perl5/graphs/contributors

* Just general, unquantified impressions from Perl communities I vaguely follow (twitter, Perl questions on Stack Overflow, some IRC channels etc).

* Work use of Perl and and hiring for Perl positions
If I read correctly, antirez's biggest complaint is English orthography (the way the spelling maps to the pronunciation - or doesn't, in the case of English!)

There's a secondary thread about native speakers being useless at adjusting their language to simplified English when talking to people for whom it is a second language. IME, that's something most people only learn to do when they learn a second language themselves.

My go-to entry point for exploring those kinds of questions was Isaac Arthur. He goes into the Kardashev scale [1], dying Earth [2], dying stars [3], farming black holes [4], and going past iron stars [5]. A Boltzmann Brain's description bears remarkable similarity to the Judeo-Christian concept of God before time begins, and has been fertile ground for ruminations [6], though none with any verifiable claims backing them in our current knowledge of physics [7].

Now if we could only restructure our implementation of capitalism to be pinned to advancements towards resolving physics questions to survive those kinds of timescales and challenges instead of locked down to a single planet's worth of baryonic matter and cognitive capacity...

You have a PhD. Basically makes you flexible mentally and ready to adapt to every situation.

You should try to apply also to some R&D positions, if any and if remote is possible.

About getting the rust off, why don't you profit from the #hacktoberfest on GitHub to get your hands dirty on projects that might spark your interest and get used to a normal routine?
Should people be required to own a Mac to release desktop software for the Mac?

How do you test your software without the machine you're targeting? Every programmer knows that VMs aren't as good as the real thing.
Sounds right but is not. We ask them to estimate the feature effort and not the effort plus other stuff.

It is about the metrics. However, I agree. A smart team would do that.
I love string encoded logic. Not joking.
In a bankruptcy proceeding, the courts try to balance the needs of retirement benefits along with the company's creditors. GE has enormous assets so it's not a safe assumption that the pension obligation just disappears in a bankruptcy.
That's what happens when the PM (or other deadline-obsessed entity) is in charge though.
With the difference that Teslas have Lithium batteries. Mobile phone batteries become so crap after a few years... Anyone have an old Model S and want to share their experience?
I'm still anti-NN because I hate how disingenuous and alarmist the pro-NN crowd has been. I don't think adding more regulation will fix anything.

But at least now we'll get to witness the power of federalism with regulatory comparisons between states.

Reasons:

- general opposition to regulation, because compliance costs burden smaller firms more, raising the barrier to entry

- does not address the root problem, lack of competition

- reduces choices for consumers

Lack of competition is caused by onerous local regulations which incumbents use to raise the barrier to entry. See: Google Fiber

Because NN does not address the root cause, and in fact the support for NN has not resulted in any significant support for addressing the root cause, it can only serve to further enforce the status quo or makes things worse.

Some examples of failed predictions / misleading statements made by NN supporters:

- Most Americans have less than 3 ISPs. This may be true depending on how you restrict which ISPs you're referring to. Mobile carriers cover almost the whole US, so there's 3 or 4 right there.

- ISPs will produce different packages for internet access. This hasn't happened.

- Speeds will reduce. This hasn't happened.
Here in Switzerland if you don't give proof of insurance the state will pick one for you. Then if you don't pay, it's like with any other bill, you'll get into troubles really quick.
How is searching and copying a password 'almost impossible' in LastPass?
I'm not sure how informative that is. It's natural for the poorest 50% to pay a lot less tax; they first need to have enough money to eat and live before they can even afford to pay taxes. This is simply progressive taxation at work.

Although I suppose showing that the top 1% has 19% of the income while the bottom 50% has 11% of the income does show the vast income discrepancy.
The graph in article is effective, not marginal. The poorest do pay less in absolute numbers because they are poor, that's a statement of income inequality, not progressivity of the tax rate.
