Last year I took a ride in a 4-5 year old Model S. I loved everything about the car except the interior. It was very drab, parts of the interior were hard where it should be soft, and the carbon fiber accents did not look as great as cars half the price. It was very plain, not quite Toyota plain but I felt it was missing something.

For Porsche money the Model S should be on point. All the above critiques would be fine on a Model 3. I hope the recent Model S’s have improved.
We started having standups are user stories instead of individuals. Reading the article through this lense made it irrelevant.
Flynn just became a Kubernetes distribution, IIRC.
It’s hardly socialist, unless the USA was socialist in the 50’s lol. Socialism anyway, real socialism is supposed to be about workers owning the factories they work in. What you’re describing is a welfare state.
This is not exactly true. There are some fundamental differences between spanish dialects. For example, "yo", "calle", are pronounced in an unrecognizable way between Argentina and Spain. But I agree that the mapping from written to spoken spanish is mostly deterministic (like that for French, Italian, and other romance languages). The mapping from spoken to written, of course, is not deterministic at all, which you can verify by looking at how illiterate spanish-speakers try to write.

No wonder scrolling is bad for us! Without line-tracking, scrolling kinda culls our attention span, patience and retention—all in one stroke. ;-)

I found the article very nicely written and do not think there was filler in there.
There’s so much that could be done if we taxed the ultra rich and huge corporations just a little bit more, and more effectively.
It was supposedly based on real events.
>> Okay so, basically, the only unique point to standups is that they "keep everyone excited"?

Skipping right past the part about "flag team blockers" in what they just quoted. I don't much care for the other nonsense, but sometimes I'm stuck on a problem, and I'll keep working on it if no one else knows, but it's nice to just broadcast where I'm at and see who thinks they have helpful insight. That happens a lot in my stand ups.

I get what you're saying, but these are the ways that management finds the margins that allow you to receive cheap products on your doorstep in 2 days.
Maybe true, although I haven't found that number (1/3) anywhere. But 20-30% of fuel taxes already go to non-roadway transit spending. Some states only spend ~20% of fuel taxes on roads.

And a dozen or so States have increased fuel taxes in the last 5 years, so maybe the trend is starting to reverse.

The current court is often rejecting cases that they feel are more the responsibility of the legislature to resolve. I had heard an opinion on this that the court thought it was the problem of Congress to fix this NOT the court.
Tesla is planning on releasing 3 new models next year (Y, Roadster, Semi), planning major updates to the S (plaid mode) have presumably started development of their fabled 25,000 car and are investing way too much money into self-driving. As an investor in TSLA, not putting every available penny into that R&D and returning a significant profit would have me start thinking about selling my shares.
This article fails to account for exemptions and deductions. This post[1] by the Tax Foundation explains it:

> However, despite these high marginal rates, the top 1 percent of taxpayers in the 1950s only paid about 42 percent of their income in taxes.

Today the 1% pay a little over 36% of their income to taxes.

1. https://taxfoundation.org/taxes-on-the-rich-1950s-not-high/
There were a lot more exemptions, deductions and credits back then so the effective tax rate was not even close to 70% and was not much higher than it is today. Not sure why this article didn't mention this at all but I can guess, coming from the New York Times and all.
“This stuff is always highly context dependent”

Well I think standups, on average across all possible developer contexts, are useless.

To put another way, standups are likely to be useless regardless of context.

So take Hollywood then: hardly thriving with originality these days, is it?

That is exactly what happens. And it happens with any new executable. I noticed it when i was trying out how well rust works on windows.
That's my primary use case for perl 'when it gets a little to complex for bash, just use perl'. Which is what perl was initially designed for. I never made the switch to python as it seemed to have more aspirations than that. I always thought that people who took perl further than 'great for sysadmin type tasks' were a little nuts.
Nothing specific to which I can point but I’ve never seen a language with quite the utility of Perl’s format feature.

As I recall, Starbucks actually looked into doing some sort of wine bar transformation in the evenings at some locations.

They implemented in at least one store in a Seattle suburb. I'm not a wine drinker, so I just know they had a flyer for it a few years ago. I don't know if it is still on-going. But your point stands: I don't know that one can flip baristas to sommeliers with a switch at 5:00. So is there a shift change? Employees are trained on both? I dunno, I applaud the thinking, but don't know that it's practical. I should run up to the Woodinville SBUX sometime and see if they're still doing it.
Well double majoring is different right? I'm sure if someone wanted to double major in physics and law they wouldn't be getting the social science part.
What way is the hash represented? Have you looked at NN libraries like faiss [0] and NGT [1]? Those can quite easily handle a nearest neighbor search of 10 million vectors and, from my understanding, they turn their vectors into some kind of hash that is then searched.

Every time somebody says that, I remember of this:

https://xkcd.com/1159/
> That's just good order execution.

The movie Margin Call makes an excellent depiction of what is just good order execution. Skilled sellers know if they're selling at the top. Should the buyers in the movie not have been upset at the sellers because that's how markets work? Yes and no. The buy/sell relationships in the movie worked because there had been years of trust built up, which the Kevin Spacey character was worried about destroying. He warned that they'd never be able to buy/sell in the market again if they offloaded their position in the manner they did, that nobody would trust them anymore. When there's a salesperson involved, people who buy investments typically trust the salesperson, or else they wouldn't buy.

You can argue that buyer beware should be the default defense. And this is not wrong, but if the salesperson is good enough, they break down that defense anyway. More importantly, taking the trust out of the transaction also takes the humanity out of the transaction. I don't think we should blame buyers if they were sold something on deeply human emotions (trust, camaraderie) and then have opposite deeply human emotions (betrayal, anger) if they find they were played. The sellers knew what they were doing from the beginning, according to the article. Hence, the buyers felt played. That's not something where I'd blame the buyer for being unsophisticated. I blame the seller because when one side has significantly asymmetrical information, that is preying.

How does it "affect fashion, etc."? You act like China is this super isolated place where nobody knows what's happening outside of it and everybody is just a conformist wearing their state-sponsored grey unis.

When in reality Chinese people are as diverse a people as any other, they are just as influenced by Western pop-culture as any other people.

Case in point: Asian hip hop, yes even Chinese hip-hop has seen quite a rise in popularity.

They copy a ton of tropes out of the US, like most non-US hip-hop has been doing for decades, but they also inject their own Chinese identity as part of the narrative of the songs [0].

Of course, that's a rather acquired taste, but I would easily count as "counter-culture", after all that's also exactly what it started out as in the US.

>2) What if more people decide to not get healthcare? If your job gives it to you and you "only" have to pay a few hundred a month for your family, you are more likely to get it than if you payed everything out of pocket each month (even if your compensation increased). People would see all the extra money and just not get healthcare. If enough people did this, healthcare would be too expensive for the rest of us.

ACA had a solution to this, it was an extra tax for not purchasing health insurance. Because health insurance premiums are basically a tax to provide healthcare to everyone. Because US voters don't want to directly pay the government to provide healthcare to everyone.

This is the thing that always drives cognitive dissonance for me. Computer professionals know how buggy and unreliable computers are more than anyone else in the world, so why would we want to actually drive a computer and put our (and others') lives in the hands of software to this degree? "It's a computer" is always my explanation for what I DON'T like about Tesla.

Many (perhaps not most? I haven’t researched broadly) large companies offer 100% match for 401k contributions, up to 6% of your salary.

If you say the denizens of the companies I’ve worked at are all very lucky, I won’t disagree, but it’s surprising to hear this is uncommon.

EDIT: Or perhaps your percentages are (unusually, for US conversations about 401k contributions) referring to total outlay, by which standard a 100% match is a company covering 50% of the total outlay? But in that case the limit is no where near $9500, perhaps you were missing a 1 in front? The max employee contribution to a 401k was $18,500 in 2018...

This article is looking at even smaller/higher percentiles than the article that you're referencing. I believe this explains the difference.
“while being paid six figure salaries.“

And that’s still not enough! Think of the value we return to an organization, and we’re only paid six figures.

Ya know, you’re allowed to fight for the absolute best working conditions as a worker.

You’re perspective reeks of some sort of corporate shill. Like I should just be happy to even have a job however shitty the working conditions. That perspective keeps developers underpaid and stressed out.
Assume for a second this is correct. What's to stop virus writers from embedding a ToS preventing Microsoft from running the code?

I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm saying it's really hard to work out how this is meant to work.
This isn't really hard. Use the pronouns people prefer. If you accidentally mis-gender somebody, it's not that big of a deal. Hell I do it with people I know and love. It happens. If you intentionally mis-gender people, then you are just an asshole.
Yes. The Supreme Court rejected a claim in 2014 under federal law. Plaintiffs replead claims under state law. While a district court found the claims barred by state law as well, the Sixth Circuit found the claim were not. The Supreme Court declined to review the Sixth Circuit‘s ruling, meaning the case can go forward under the Sixth Circuit’s decision.

The Supreme Court (and appellate courts) are a batch system, with high throughout but poor latency. The Supreme Court reviews 7,000-8,000 petitions for certiorari each year, rendering judgment in the merits after oral argument on about 80-100 cases per year. Each case typically has hundreds of pages of briefing, rulings below, etc., and requires reference to hundreds of additional pages of precedent and other authorities. All that is done by the nine justices, each with the assistance of four clerks.

> I also wonder whether religious groups who don't accept blood would potentially accept this.

I understand they don’t accept blood from other people because they believe the blood is tightly related to the soul. So if the blood is 100% artificial I don’t think they would have a reason to not accept it, unless they find another reason, and I’m sure some obscure group will find a reason to not accept artificial blood either.
I believe the nominal tax rate now is not ~20%, so then the graphs are all showing effective, not nominal, and their point stands.
Socialism: You give your paycheck to the government.

I have to wonder, did you really read the post? Your characterization of it as a "screed about the injustice" of standups seems wholly contradictory to the tone of the post. It literally opens with "your standups are killing your velocity." Correct or incorrect, it's an appeal to efficiency. I would hope that streamlining processes would be welcome in all industries including food service and construction.

I guess I fundamentally don't understand the nature of your argument; your reasoning essentially prohibits anyone daring to voice concerns about prevailing practices, because it could always be worse?
There is never such a time, if you allow any kind of flexibility or self-direction in scheduling. Moreover, if you are customer-driven, you will wind up with having calls here, there, and everywhere, that some subset of your people will be on that clash with any potential standup time.

The book looks fine, if a little random in its selection of topics, and it's probably as good a start as any, but is neither necessary nor sufficient. Much of data science in 'the field' is hunting down, gather and cleaning data. Knowing the right 'black boxes' to chain together in the right order to get the result you want, and knowing how to present the results in an easy to understand way so that the people that have to make the decisions can make the decisions they have to make.

Knowing the theory is important, but most of the time what you actually need know is to quickly knock together a script that pulls in, cleans up and merges some dirty data from 3 different sources, select the right out of the box algorithm for the situation and presents the results in a clear and pedagogical way.

There are only a couple dozen parts in a Tesla. Electric cars are much simpler in terms of mechanics, and everyone knows the more moving parts, the more likely it's to break. They don't need oil, there's no combustion, etc. Pretty much all you have to worry about are the tires and the battery. The battery is rated to 500K miles.

Edit: wow the downvotes. You guys fall for media attack campaigns too easily. You can see the talking points (Look at the forums!!!!, This X person reported Y!) Even though we all know the loudest people go to the forums to complain, that's not an accurate representation of Tesla owners. And it's not even a valid complaint, it's a complaint of complaints. If you have a reason why it's unreliable, post it, don't point somewhere else or use a talking point.

You guys have fell for the car industry and oil/gas industry's propaganda. You guys are now defending them and attacking an electric car company trying to dethrone them for the good of humanity.

Refinancing their bonds at a lower interest rate is an entirely reasonable business decision vs having to pay them off. Cash flow is king, do whatever possible to maximize it.
Anecdotally, but looking at older Model S on the local Craigslist equivalent, I see two listings right now that are ~6 years old with ~120k miles and say "recently replaced entire battery pack under warranty". If whatever fault that was happens to another Model S after the warranty expires, it's going to be a total writeoff. These cars are being sold now for below $30k (equivalent) with almost two years left of warranty.
I don't get it either.

Places like that do exist but I agree they should be more common. DC food halls often double as market places, but other cities do seem to lack that side of the hall.
Enterprise Value (shares + debt) is a much better measure of company size than just the share value alone.

I also do one-pedal highway driving... and that is my other use case problem with Tesla (that I originally chose not to bring up as it takes me out of the category of potential buyers).

I live in Colorado; my highway driving includes driving 400-500 miles over mountain passes sometimes in the winter down to parts of New Mexico. I have all-wheel and an 8-speed sport transmission; so the Mini eats mountains for breakfast, doesn't drink its fuel supply extra fast when it's 0F in the snow over mountain passes, and doesn't need me to spend time recharging somewhere in the unpleasant cold. Highway speeds (85mph), I can go 400+ miles before refueling.
