This is why you just go to the [EDGAR files](https://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml) and think on your own.

If you want entertainment, read the interpretation given by a news organization with your preferred bias.

If you want real insight, read articles with conflicting agendas. I suggest Barrons and WSJ as the obvious conservative-agenda choices, and Bloomberg and Financial Times as liberal-agenda choices.
Seems simpler to know exactly where the entrance is, relative to the entire building. You could build a hallway off it.
> Some of these cars are superior to Tesla e.g. Porsche Taycan

Depends on your metrics. IMO, the Model 3 Performance is the superior car. Half the price, quicker, longer range, and has access to the largest fast-charging network in the country.
It is! Oops... I just became that guy :P

But in my defense, it was a general sentiment and not directed to any - one - individual - or company.
> whatever actions against blizzard that they are trying to achieve

That is what seems so hackneyed about this. This is like doing marketing for “whatever product we decide to sell”. The goal should be defined first.

What would be too little from Blizzard? What would be a “good” response? When would it be too late? What exactly do these people actually want Blizzard to do?

This Google doc is an attention-seeker’s manifesto; it is highly inflammatory and uses emotionally provocative language about rights and freedom and doing the right thing, yet it avoids being too specific so that Blizzard cannot win because they cannot discern what response the protesters want.
Maybe I went too far back in time with Bulldozer, but Zen 2 is direct evolution of Zen. And to the extent that Bulldozer was an experimentation with a new multi-core architecture that more or less failed, I'm pretty sure AMD learned some valuable lessons that informed the Zen designs.
Not only Youtube, I've noticed a huge disparity between Duck Duck Go results and Google results when writing queries that could be thought of as containing a controversial/politically/racially/etc charged topic. Youtube recommendations and search/ranking suppress searches as it is, even if they were to leave the content on there, most of it will never be surfaced through organic means without a direct link or a search with a direct title match.
> It's affecting the quality of the web that you, as a user, are browsing.

You know what affects the quality of the web I, a user, am browsing? A bunch of damn videos I can't get to go away, a bunch of flickering GIFs, and a bunch of horrid banners. That's a very, very direct effect. The "reduced" quality is at best a second order effect.

There's also all the malvertising, the malware spread by ad networks. I grant that this, too, is a second order effect, but if we're going to worry that web quality is reduced by some ads not getting clicked, we should worry just as much about the malvertising.
No, it began when we all decided to tolerate involuntary telemetry in Windows. This is just a minor roadside attraction on the same highway.
I wrote a comparison of the quality of this autogenerated C2rust code versus the original sources (WEB code in this case), the last time this was posted: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21176806 (Though it's not a fair comparison as this particular automatic translation itself started from automatically translated C code, for unclear reasons.)

Posting comments in favor of a service without disclosing your’re its author is usually seen as a conflict of interest and, as such, a bad thing.

Beauty is relative. I find the look of Tesla “dorky”, especially the piggy nose of the Model 3. However, I’d not defend a design of id.3.
Very cool. Can I ask what marketing you do? Seems like it would be popular once people know about it, but that first step to building awareness must be tough.
Multinational Corporations like Bayer, IBM, and Mercedes-Benz collaborated with the Nazis. This is nothing new. The real question is: What are we gonna do about it?

>This Google doc is an attention-seeker’s manifesto; it is highly inflammatory and uses emotionally provocative language about rights and freedom and doing the right thing, yet it avoids being too specific so that Blizzard cannot win because they cannot discern what response the protesters want.

This reminds me of the critiques of Occupy Wall Street. "It's not specific enough! We don't know what they want." 9 years later and we sure do now. The goal is not to "win" with Blizzard. The goal is public humiliation and economic punishment for those who enable genocide.
I still get patches from Apple for my older Macs that are classified as obsolete. Mostly stuff like Safari etc.
That's actually pretty cool. It seems like you could transparently change the number of registers to whatever would fit in your particular model of chip, 0 to 16 to a kilobyte or more. Is there a reason you wouldn't use such a design for a chip today?
Or even something more distributed. Like each public library has a storage cube and each cube has an overlapping portion of history. They checksum each other peer-to-peer to detect anyone trying to change history.

There are 110,000 public libraries in the United States. Plus thousands more private libraries. Seems like enough for U.S. history, at least.
You're speaking for other people when you can only speak for yourself, and you need to get out more. A not-yet-existent, co-op-owned platform where creators share in monetization and have straight-forward/transparent content policies and processes, not secret ones, and not shady algorithms that curate user filter-bubbles without telling them how they're being shown recommendations. YT isn't the only web address on the internet. Apps, integrations, and plugins can be replaced if people are willing to support quality and minimally-censored content that respects creators' ability, autonomy and sometimes livelihoods, rather than a power-law income distribution beholden to random countries' censorship and corporate advertisers' nearly arbitrary whims.
That's a pretty cool idea actually :)
This has always been theoretically true. But only in the modern economy is it significantly true.

Prior to industrialization individual skill was the primary contribution of value to companies so, while a single person might own the premises, the value of the company was in those employees. In the modern economy employees have been commoditization to be interchangeable and the result is that employee power has been severely curtailed without compensation.

Compare a rando factory to a sports team, losing a star player on a sports team can drastically effect your valuation and thus those stand out employees are considered primary assets of the teams (and often times teams will have both injury and sudden contract termination insurance for their players). Your statement that companies generally aren't employees is correct, but it is newly correct and unhealthy for society. Those lower level employees are the only ones actually producing value for the company.
Apple had lots of competition from companies with sophisticated, established, distribution networks, etc. Compaq, Dell, IBM, HP. Apple had to build the Apple Stores.

Also, the car companies have legacy issues handcuffing them. Unions, dealership agreements.

Not saying Tesla can replicate Apple, but Apple didn't have it easy.
There's a good talk by him about how Moore's law isn't dead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIG9ztQw2Gc.

Obviously, people have different ideas about what they mean when they say "Moore's law is/is not dead", but I appreciate Jim's point that even if the current innovation curves we've been riding are slowing down, there are other innovation curves that we can take advantage of, and that the combination these curves mean that there's still plenty of innovation and improvement to be made in processor design.

Of course, the question of whether the x86 architecture will be the foundation for that future improvement remains to be seen. ARM and RISC-V are both eating x86 from below, and the fact that both of the processor architectures allow for greater competition among processor implementations suggests to me that one (or both) may catch up with x86 at some point in the future.
I think svn is a better way of thinking when working with documents, the fact that the timeline is contiguous too helps

It really doesn't.

In software, you need to track versions because you keep everything in multiple files, and you're making changes to multiple files, and you can have regressions with each new version.

In a negotiated legal document, you have just the one authoritative version: the offer you've sent to the other party (or the counter-offer they've sent back to you). For lawyers, this takes the form of edits to the document as highlighted by the Track Changes feature. (Prior versions are basically irrelevant except for historical interest.) And even then, the document going back and forth isn't even the executed (aka "production") document, it's just the development version. Once the document is executed, the development versions get deleted because the executed document is the only truth legally and so prior versions absolutely do not matter.
If that were true there wouldn't be so much bullshit on the first few pages. Try doing a Google search that gets lots of low-effort ad-stuffed "top x" or "best x of 2019" lists or similar garbage and changing the date range to limit results to before 2008 or thereabouts. It's incredible how much more useful, and easier to quickly evaluate, the results often are.
No, I'm talking about the Debian OpenSSL bug Luciano Bello discovered. It was a lot worse than Heartbleed. Kurt Roeckx didn't introduce Heartbleed, and Heartbleed wasn't introduced by removing undefined behavior, so there is no plausible reason for you to infer that I was talking about Heartbleed.

As for the cost of rewrites, there's a lot of evidence from software project metrics that the cost of modifying software can easily exceed the cost of rewriting it; see Glass's Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering for details and references. Also, though, it should be intuitively apparent (though perhaps nonobvious) that this is a consequence of the undecidability of the Halting Problem and Rice's Theorem — it's impossible to tell what a given piece of software will do, which means that the cost of reproducing its existing behavior in well-understood code is unbounded.
YouTube could solve this problem by throwing money at it, i.e. investing much more heavily in human moderators. They are extremely unlikely to ever do so, as the market would punish them for it in the short term and Google is unlikely to prioritize human rights over revenue.

This presents an opportunity for another Internet Archive-like repo as mentioned in earlier comments. Unfortunately the barrier to entry (just getting people to know about it) would be super high.

Pretending to be a bigger company than you are is not fraud, it's perception management. Whether justified or not, many potential customers will choose a seemingly bigger company over a smaller one (especially a one-person company).

Now if they were billing based on number of people working for a client, and they were charging for phantom people, that would be fraud.

This guy just has an optimized workflow that he presents as if it were a team of people. If the customer feels that's unreasonable, they wouldn't pay. There's nothing unethical about that.

It's true that companies generally style hybrid/electric vehicles to look a little weird, but....

Because when the first Prius launched, it looked like a normal car.

It was rather ugly in most people's opinions. From some angles it looks more bizarre than the subsequent Priuses.

See the various generations here: https://global.toyota/en/prius20th/evolution/

Seriously, it was a very odd-looking car: http://www.imcdb.org/i044705.jpg

To the extent that it looked like "a normal car", it looked like an absolute bargain-basment Toyota along the lines of a Tercel or something. Different is one thing; different and ugly is quite another.

Nobody wanted to buy one.

It was only sold "in limited numbers" in the US.

According to Toyota, the company was only "breaking even" on each one sold. They weren't really pushing them either.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Prius#First_generation_...

The second-generation Prius had an incredibly conspicuous
shape, and it sold like hotcakes.

Convenient narrative, but I'd say it's completely false. At best, it's only a small part of the story.

It's not as if the second-gen was a simple rebadge of the first-gen with weirder looks.

First-gen was a funky sedan of limited utility and performance. Additionally the concept of a hybrid vehicle was bizarre and foreign at the time.

The second-gen was a massive improvement in every way. Significant and objective improvements in power, range, comfort, capacity, and so on. Furthermore the hatchback/fastback body style is of much greater convenience and utility.

As far as looks... while it was certainly unconventionial and perhaps not beautiful, the second-gen model looked more "futuristic family car" and less "weird ultra-budget sedan" like the first one.
I run SideProjectors (https://www.sideprojectors.com) - a market place for indie entrepreneurs to buy and sell their online businesses, projects etc.

I created it in 2014, neglected it for awhile, and it was running on its own. It started to form a little community around it, so I finally got myself motivated to re-design this year.

It never made any money up until quite recently through some affiliate marketing channels, so it's not huge, but it covers the operating cost, which is very small.

For those who are looking to get into running your own little projects, come and have a look around. If you want to sell your projects and move on, then well, I'm happy to host your project for sale! :)

Edit: original title was about YouTube "erasing history"

They're erasing a good chunk of the present as well. It is widely known and observable that they algorithmically throttle and aggressively demonetize anything even remotely conservative in the US. E.g. Tim Pool (a liberal who nevertheless likes to point out the lunacy and hypocrisy of the leftist "free press") often gets demonetized under the flimsiest of pretenses.

They are fleeing to other industries, but the numbers are hard to get data on. This, in part, because some leave the work force for years and then come back into another industry. Anywhere from 20 to 25% are immediately going to other industries. It's an absurd amount.
I remember doing a due-diligence on Tesla during the Oil Crisis of 2015. The stock was at 195 or so, the company hadn't released anything other than high-end sedans, and the cars were still sold in stores.

If you went to their website, you saw that they were planning to have a $35,000 vehicle for sale by 2018, with rapid charging stations set up across the country (forming a corridor for coast-to-coast travel), where Tesla owners would be able to charge for free. And furthermore, the leadership - Musk - had shown his worth when he put his last dimes into PayPal just a few years earlier.

I said it was a good company to go long on for a three year timeline. (They didn't listen, I was only 17 and had never invested in my life).

It might be time to give them another examination.

Myself.

The Process is usually

1 - Think of idea

2 - Research idea

3 - Continue researching the idea for several months, promising myself that the more information I have, the better equipped I'll be to tackle the project

4 - Idea goes from "Simple idea X" to "This will be the new Google"

5 - Get so wrapped up in the previous stage that I lose track of the simple original idea.

6 - Get overwhelmed

7 - Begin to think "Well, X does this idea better anyway, why even bother?"

8 - Sulk

9 - Forget idea

I wish Apple would take the lead in documenting (for the public -- not just in support tickets) how to update your build pipleline to work with notarization. Lots of projects/devs who don't build only for macOS aren't prepared to update their systems and don't always do the testing required to overcome errors in the process.

That said, FOSS or not, this is the stuff that should be tested before shipping. It's disconcerting that apparently no one on the LO team has bothered to test an install build on the latest version of macOS (and if you buy a laptop or desktop from Apple today, it likely has Catalina installed).

> Do you realize that's the opposite direction of this? In that case you SEND something to a chat app, but this app can RECEIVE data from a web service. Way simpler architecture.

Well, it receives data by hitting a specific endpoint with a specific protocol. It’s “simpler” in that it may be easier to implement, but you still have to modify your service to get that to work. And if you must modify your service, you may want to implement something that’s better supported and doesn’t require users to install (and configure) yet another app.

Not an owner or shareholder. I encourage you to read up a bit more on their competitive strengths, including their battery, charging infrastructure, and autonomous driving tech. In that regard they are WAY ahead of the competition. I am stoked that VW is serious about playing the EV game, and you are correct that they are significantly more capitalized; however they are still WAY behind Tesla in the critical areas mentioned above. IMO, they are going to gain a lot more market share, for a long time to come.
