I'm done with stackoverflow and anyone who would infringe on my rights in the excitement of pandering to someone else's ad hoc demands when there was no substantial or life-threatening need to do so in the first place.

What is this world coming to, is everyone so asleep as not to notice that something is very wrong? This is an example where sick and toxic meets nonsensical and comedic.

Censorship has more contexts than just government-protected free public speech. Maybe this doesn't fit the definition of censorship under the context you are framing the term, but it definitely does under other contexts of the term.
Blizzard is motivated by money, that seems to be the chief complaint: Blizzard behaves on the basis of profitability rather than morality. So why would a moral appeal have any effect?

A boycott would get results, this just gets clicks.

I took the bullet for you; I have a similar lack of expression.

It just outputs very low confidence results, so the end result is junk. That said, I think that drives the point home even harder, as its built a profile based on incorrect data.
I wish them all the success in the world in the face of increased competition. They basically started the "no compromise electric car" market, in the face of an army of naysayers, and the last few years have been extremely rough on both the company and Musk personally. IMO they pretty much deserve to win.

Disclosure: I hold no TSLA, and don't own any of their cars. I just like dogged persistence in the face of impossible odds.
Oh crap. Got my Y reservation with the assumption it would be late and I’d have plenty of time to save!

I haven't seen it in Catalina yet but in Mojave, everything is organized by permission, not by app. If you want to review everything a particular app is allowed to do, you have to look in every permission category. It's not a terrible design but it is inconvenient in that scenario.

> There were multiple emails from journalists at supposedly neutral reputable outlets asking the campaign to check and edit their articles before publishing

Despite what the conspiracy bloggers would have you believe, this is standard fact checking. If the conspiracy bloggers did that, they wouldn't have anything to report.

> Also in an email Donna Brazile of CNN agreed to forward the debate questions to the campaign before the debate.

This was heavily covered mainstream news and resulted in CNN firing Brazile. Brazile also assisted the Sanders campaign as the Sanders campaign has admitted, but we don't have the Sanders campaign emails to see how much.

Tesla cars remind me particularly of Ford Europe's bland but also ugly phase of the early 90s, like the first model Mondeo that wasn't sure what it wanted to be, and the fugly frog-faced last model Granada Scorpio. Or Mazda of the same era.

They have the same ability to combine total inoffensive blandness, with some detail or corner that just looks plain wrong, ugly, the wrong size or damaged with vehicle lines that neither align nor complement each other. The Tesla Model 3 ends up looking like a poor attempt at a parts bin special, as though nothing at all was originally intended for the Model 3. Of course some actual parts bin specials were very successful - like the first model Land Rover Discovery.

Instead it’s an oversold fantasy. Is something okay just because everyone does it?

I suspect you didn't even read my reply.

First, I never made any argument along the lines of "everyone does it". I don't know why you include that in your reply to me.

Second, the final paragraph of my reply specifically addresses whether it's "oversold". There's much more to an experience than can be seen from a photograph of the scene, and I think it's fair to try to capture some of that in the final image.

Finally, "it’s a lie made for profit." No, this is outright false. In fact, the music festival I was shooting was entirely free. Nobody paid a penny to see the performances. And the musicians performed because they love music and want to share it; they weren't paid a penny either. You're letting your own prejudices bias your judgment.

EDIT: and just to round out the not-for-profit thing, I was a volunteer, too. My own time, my own camera, my own computer and software. I love the music and I love photography. I do this because I want to give something back to the artists who are giving me their music.
40 years ago, my father was a union carpenter on the construction of a big coal-fired electric generation plant in western Colorado. He worked for a big contractor and was the foreman for the carpenter crew. When they waited for the next task to be ready for them to work on, my dad did things like paint company vehicles and equipment, and clean the warehouses. He stayed busy instead of playing cards in the break room.

When that construction site started to wind down, he was the last carpenter to be laid off, and had many job offers at other places because of his conscientious work ethic.

I'd take any employee with that ethic in a heartbeat at my manufacturing business.
Why legal professionals are not using version control goddamit?! It's exactly the tool they need. Just recently worked with a lawyer who was negotiating settlement agreement on my behalf. The agreement in MS Word, edits highlighted with a color background, change requests in the body of the email - after 2-3 rounds of corrections reaching the other party nobody is able to keep a track of anything anymore. Seriously? Years of studies, prestigious profession, peoples' careers and lives at the stake, and this is how you work?!
Not sure why people think long term Tesla is in an amazing position.

Their market share can only go down. All of the car companies have or are releasing cars this year/next and are significantly more capitalised. Some of these cars are superior to Tesla e.g. Porsche Taycan and their ability to share platforms between brands helps to amortise costs.

As we've seen with Summon their FSD program does not look like coming out anytime soon and their inability to be profitable means they can't invest in it or even fundamentals like product refreshes.

Ah yes, forgot that we need to fall in line with the majority as soon as a disagreement is voiced. This is exactly how you get echo chambers.
> You have to be lucky

This is simply not true. It's a myth. And the only time it is true is when you're born into an underprivileged background (I was born into a working class family with little money) or environment (in a rough part of England.)

Look, life is easy: we all have hopes and dreams, problems and pain points. We want to make the hopes and dreams come true whilst we resolve the problems and take away our pain points.

Business is easy: make or do something that helps people bring their hopes and dreams to life. Make or do something that solves a problem for someone. Make or do something that takes away a person's pain point(s).

Luck doesn't make or break your business: hard work does. Time. Patience. Persistence. Being smart with money. And yes, to a point, having some money that can be used to bootstrap, but for most people on this site, that's not an issue.

A year or so ago I had a choice: take home my daily contracting pay rate (which is a lot) and keep it in investments, or find some problems to solve and invest it in a business.

I now have two businesses: I continue to contract whilst building training and managed services around the technologies being used because businesses and people need those things. And I brought my brother in law onboard the business (made him a director) and invested in him building a VR workshop service that helps teachers deliver complex, hard-to-teach aspects of the Australia science curriculum.

Luck is a factor, for sure, but it's not the main ingredient in your success. Yes I do get that being in the right place at the right time can land you a big deal, investment, or something else that sets you off, but thinking along those lines is equivalent to thinking that the only way to get rich is to win the lottery.

Good luck.

A: Drop it and see how long it takes to hit the ground.
Oh yeah, because if this was Apple no one would pile on.

At a certain point (and both Google and Apple are big enough) it becomes their fault. You should have good enough policies. It’s been 10 years or so since the app stores launched. This isn’t new stuff anymore. It’s not untrodden territory.

It’s laziness at best, and that shouldn’t keep getting excused.

No, they're not.

Many regulators around the world were willing to accept the FAA's approvals rather than do their own certifications. Many of those will no longer do so. The EU has already signaled this: https://www.seattletimes.com/business/boeing-aerospace/europ...

> But he said such a new review was necessary because there were parts of the original MAX design that EASA “had not completely certified ourselves, because we had delegated some of the tasks to the FAA.”

Additionally, I expect Boeing's self-certification privileges (https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/how-the-faa-al...) to be dramatically curtailed.

> In practice, one Boeing engineer would conduct a test of a particular system on the Max 8, while another Boeing engineer would act as the FAA’s representative, signing on behalf of the U.S. government that the technology complied with federal safety regulations, people familiar with the process said.
Tesla shares soar after crushing third-quarter earnings
> (C) is anti-collaborative, and an extreme measure that should only happen in extreme circumstances (not "just because it might be better").

I agree with A and B, but C just feels like gate-keeping. Open source license do not require collaboration with the original authors. You can freely fork any opensource codebase and modify it as you wish without asking someones permission.
This is just awesome, i mean why not. Git -> history. This is great idea for other historical writings!
how do we pollute or poison the telemetry data?
Youtube and Facebook, while convenient, aren't really appropriate mediums for them to share this sort of footage. Liveleak comes to mind as a service better suited for a public repository of this video.

Archival of footage shouldn't be dependent on a third party platform that can, at will, delete every single video on a whim. Likely for this sort of thing a diligent archivist will need to put in the effort of storing it safely, because those videos will almost all end up being deleted on platforms that rely on ad revenue.
Microsoft uses (and since 7 has used) automated compatibility testing.

It takes less time to test compatibility than it does to compile.
Sounds about right. They demonetize blancoliorio's in-depth commercial aircraft and pilot industry analysis as "sad content." Oh and donutoperator gets demonetized despite blurring almost everything and not swearing. Non-corporate content creators and random people have NO rights on corporate platforms like YT. The only solution is another platform that respects creators, has sane/straightforward policies and doesn't permit rampant scams and extortions.
Part of the problem is that the Internet has resulted in lots of these news outlets simply trying to be first on a story and then editing articles in real time. For example, that negative WSJ headline doesn't appear to exist anymore and now their article on the subject it titled "Tesla Holds Down Expenses, and Its Shares Surge" with the 54% number relegated to a subheading. Odds are that article will continue to be edited for days and will have a variety of different headlines in that time.
I'd go as far as requiring a statement of intent (soi) from developers requesting network access, describing the frequency and payload content and size. If the code doesn't match the soi then the app is crippled.

Sure, I agree that fire rules are written in blood. But not the blood of every single district. Once we've decided, we impose these rules across many cities, millions of buildings.

Well, yeah, for something so rudimentary. Use a library. Nothing to see here.
This is a volume problem that has no real solution. On one hand, it's a shame that this kind of content is getting removed, but on the other, it's also untenable for YouTube to hire thousands upon thousands of video moderators. It's a sad reality that if anyone uploaded content akin to Shoah[1] -- the 9-hour-long Holocaust documentary; a personal favorite and an absolute masterpiece -- it would get promptly removed. But it's a reality nonetheless.

YouTube is trying to straddle the line between platform and publisher and it feels like the hammer will soon drop.

They are functional, durable, and extremely common in my office of Learjet and King Air pilots. I agree with you on the battery life. Personally I'd rather have some world-timer, but I'm an asshole.
My experience with Luminar 3 was weird. It was one of those pieces of software which looks great in screenshots and promo materials and then disappoints you profoundly when you try it out. It just didn't produce the same quality of results as Lightroom, nor was it as easy to work with as Lightroom. I really wanted to like it too, I'm not a fan of subscription software, and the best alternative to Lightroom (Capture One Pro) is either $300 for a license, or $20/mo, both of which sound pretty pricey for hobbyist use. After a couple of weeks of trying I was back to Lightroom.

So before you rush to plop down your credit card for Luminar "preorder", I encourage you to wait for a trial version and try it out. There, I saved you $99. You're welcome.
I assumed it was a money-saving measure. If you have separate faucets you can't get warm water, only cold and/or hot. So to get warm water you're forced to fill in the sink and make use of that, which saves both water and heating.

C++/CLI is basically a set of language extensions, just like clang and gcc have theirs.

Right now it supports up to C++14, if I am not mistaken.

Many don't seem to realise that CLR started as the next evolution of COM, with the required machinery to support VB, C#, J# and C++, alongside any other language that could fit the same kind of semantics.
this sounds like extortion.
I moved from a MacBook to a Linux-only laptop this year. I enjoyed my time with Apple, they used to manufacture the best POSIX-ish laptops around. But I'm glad I left. They're no longer interested in making the best hardware for creatives. Other people are, though.

I think instead of trying to fix advertising, we should continue to work towards better monetization strategies.

Fixing advertising is an uphill battle, and while I do think there is such a thing as positive advertising, I see that way too rarely to justify all the downsides of advertising. Targeted ads are still bad 95% of the time, which is hardly better than content based ads, if not worse.

The current alternative is, for the most part, subscription services. The problem with these is that the number of websites I visit within a given month is just massive compared to the tiny fraction of sites I use frequently enough to warrant at least considering paying $5 a month or whatever.

That leaves efforts like Brave/BAT that look to create an automated solution to get the best of both worlds, which can be a step in the right direction, if done right.

There is also the option to use site A to onboard people for site/service B in a natural manner. The Backblaze reports which regularly make it to the front page of HN being one example of that. Merch shops from Youtubers and streamers being another. Obviously, that is not applicable for most websites.

Coming up with better strategies really is the only long term solution to improve the situation.
That is a fair counterexample that I didn't consider. I don't know why you're getting downvoted to oblivion on it. Thanks for making your point!

Best to look at the earnings release itself to get the most objective picture. Or if you want a single metric, look at the after-hours stock movement. TSLA is up 20%, so it can't all be bad news.
The equivalent for this for finance is recruiters having their job title as "Head of Quant and Research" (or similar) on linkedin.
That's disproven or just side-stepped given there's already a solution addressing my biggest gripe: factoring. It's been researched and optimized to death on classical computers. Quantum should get a massive speedup. Such a demo of quantum supremacy would be quite convincing even if not 100% proven.

The QC's aren't big enough for that yet. Surely there are other problems ultra-optimized for classical computers, lots of effort at improving them, and might still have a QC algorithm that beats it by QS-supporting speed-up. Something that fits in these smaller machines. Again, the claim that QC did what CC "likely couldn't" would be validated by the effort CC researchers put into doing it without same results.

I doubt their setup had nearly as many person years of R&D thrown at solving it as factoring, sorting, strings, BLAS, certain assembly routines, optimization techniques, etc. There's probably something in those with an effective alternative that's QC-able.
But why?

By the price of common and investor class of shares converging, the implication is that the economic value of the preferences and other arrangements investors get is $0. That does not sound right to me.
They are free to do so, and society is free to retaliate against them, and senators are free to send threats to them, about what future action that they might take against blizzard.
