So that rules out solar because... nighttime. So wind has to be the only reliable supply and you need to over build enough of it so a calm weather system in a region has no impact. The numbers stop looking good at that point.
Even non-bay area SWE in general is still much better than most other job types and probably much better when it comes to having a nice place to live anyway.
All your points are valid, with one caveat. The Model 3 Performance really is targeted at people that want the "fun" car, so I think it's appropriate to compare it to other sports cars. But that said - there is obviously a huge benefit going towards the Tesla in having more utility due to its size.
ML has always had easy mutables in the form of references, and the closest deployed language to Standard ML (Ocaml and Reason), has always had for-loops and while-loops. Mutable references are used frequently.

Rust is great because it's low level, high-performance, non-garbage collected and it's primary inspiration for higher-level programming is languages like ML and Haskell.

Of course porn websites will say they have advanced measures to moderate content. The reality is that these platforms do host illegal content [1]. Even beyond child pornography, they facilitate the sharing of revenge porn which content-wise might not be considered illegal, so I don't see any way an algorithm would remove it on its own (even a human would probably be unable to do so without additional information). Once that is out, victims are unable to do much about it. Perhaps the original video might be deleted but copies can spread around, even on the same website and are not taken down.

TLDR;

1. They don't have to worry about latency due to review delays.

2. They can use vision based detection algos for classification which are much reliable than NLP based understanding.

3. They recruit users to do reviews for in-site benefits.

Unsaid but I suspect they also don't have to worry about user driven random virality for any content.
> I wonder for how many of these "volunteers" this is the main motivation - is this a quasi-legal way to see illegal content?

Well the article said that only 1 in 20000 uploaded videos ends up getting taken down, "“Because we’re very aggressive in our patrol of content, the criminals know not to use us”. I'm not sure a .005% chance of seeing illegal content would really be enough "reward" to affect anybody's behavior.

Build your own machine learning web service with Django
I have a Facebook account, but I've not logged in for many years now, I've never had the app installed on any of my phones (last time I used Facebook the chat app was still working in the mobile version of the web app) and recently some kids seriously asked me what Facebook even is. As far as I'm concerned it's dead and I wonder how they are still even making any money?

Is it really just some old people there now and a bunch of influenza seeking self confirmation through meaningless likes and then the majority which is left is perhaps some bots and political activits to spam those few old people with shit that nobody outside their bubble gives a damn? This is a serious question, what's happening on Facebook nowadays that still keeps that domain alive?

> If a porn site were the subject of an investigation that revealed it had been home to millions of images of child abuse content, its parent company probably wouldn’t remain in business for much longer. For Facebook, however, a Times piece that alleged an epidemic of child abuse on its platform was just a bad news day. That’s a stark difference in reaction to the same offense, and one that should give us all pause.

So true. How is Facebook not being penalised really badly for this? Facebook distributing child absue through their unmoderated platform is the same as if Facebook would have build a bunch of robots who would have handed out child abuse magazines to millions of households. It is literally the same - a machine, which allegedely can't see - publicising horrendous content to millions of people. In the latter case Zuck would be locked into a prision cell on Guantanamo Bay for the rest of his life, in the former he just shruggs it off like nothing and keeps being one of the richest people on earth because of it. Quite stark contrast.

Compliance (or lack thereof) is just one element of risk that a company has to face. The folks that take those jobs are typically risk averse and struggle to move quickly, as one might imagine. You can't let them run the company or you're going to get destroyed by less apprehensive competition, but if you ignore everything they say you're running a completely different set of risks. It's a balance, like everything else in risk management.

France is a good examples of how nuclear power is more affordable than renewables.

Storage of waste is almost a non issue because they is just so little of it - the fuel itself is incredibly dense, so it’s really only the old concrete that takes space, and it isn’t very dangerous.
>I wonder how they are still even making any money?

Instagram is how they are making money
> They recruit users to do reviews for in-site benefits.

I think this would be the best thing for a social media platform. Using a site requires using credits, and you can get credits one of three ways:

1. Paying a monthly fee

2. Performing maintenance activities like content reviews

3. Opting-in to advertising
If you’re factoring in subsidies for wind and solar, those for nuclear and coal need to be considered too. Also, nuclear might be low CO2, but getting the fuel and disposing of it is part of the equation too.
While there might be some legal factors to it, I think the problem spaces are a little different on these two websites (or generally speaking any porn site compared to facebook).

Facebook revolves around user interaction, that is videos, photos and text (in various forms, even links to external sources).
Adult entertainment deals with those too, but those sites are mostly used like YouTube with lower session times.

Every minute "510,000 comments are posted, 293,000 statuses are updated, and 136,000 photos are uploaded"[0] on facebook, on Pornhub it is 22 video comments and 122 messages[1]. Xhamster should be comparable to that. The difference in volume is striking.

Now with lower volume it is easier to moderate. Scanning videos isn't easy but AI should help, but AI these days fails for text, at least for anything else than an easy classification task. Hate speech isn't just random insults, there is more to it, and current AI systems can't possibly understand the whole context to something.

Even if content wasn't released immediately on facebook, there aren't enough people in the world to moderate the amount of content posted on facebook everyday.

I really think the comparison of those sites doesn't make sense.

Beyond facilitation of child pornography distribution, there have been lawsuits related to rape being filmed and distributed. During the course of these lawsuits the videos typically remain up for streaming. There's also the underlying human trafficking problem that makes consumption of any pornography, even mainstream, a probabilistic endorsement and generation of demand for trafficking.

Nice set-up, really smooth.
What stops me on doing the same is that pirating through torrent via some adblock website seems a little bit less "despicable" than paying a service (usenet in this case) to enrich someone at the expense of someone else for my viewing pleasure/needs.

> When people on your team are wasting time Googling lingo to try to figure out what kind of object they need, where to put a file, or where a method should go, it's a huge red flag.

I agree, but for a different reason. If you've got a team of programmers on a project without any understanding of what the client is doing you're bound to implement stuff ass-backwards from the clients perspective.

DDD is fine in enterprise, but the domain does need to be communicated to all involved parties. You can't just dump a codebase on someone and expect them to get to work, that only barely works for non-DDD codebases let alone DDD codebases.

This[0] is how they make money. 2.41 billion monthly active users.

"Active users are those which have logged in to Facebook during the last 30 days."

Advertising on Facebook seems to be also very profitable (at least that's what I read several times). I don't use Facebook, however, it's still a thing. Saying it's dead is blind.

Right, I'm not saying they can't be broken down somewhat, but the parent comment said he broke then down until the tasks are trivial. I don't think that example is trivial! Or that it can be estimated to take up about a day.

Regardig the "research" vs "engineering", I don't think you can cleanly separate the two; many otherwise straightforward projects include a research component, even if it is just about using a new browser feature in a novel way, or some such.

What your describing is exactly the problem that decent planning solves. I can only imagine two possible reasons for the type of pivot you’re talking about. Either the problem you’re trying to solve has changed (not very likely), or your understanding of the problem has. You can avoid that, and all of the time you’ll waste, but simply investing the effort required to properly understand the problem up front. This is the reason I suspect that many successful founders are solving their own problems. They have some experience in some sector, know what problems it has, and bring a solution to market.
Mmm, Spectravideo. I started on an SVI-328, lovely machine. The MSX standard was based on it. (Almost the same, only a slightly dumber BASIC and some addresses changed. Back in the day, you could "patch" the SVI-328 in software and then run much MSX software on it. If I had only known back then... information did not flow as freely back then.)
Ultimately, the problem is that we are not good at creating stable APIs.
If we did have stable APIs, then once something (a feature, or even entire software) is written agains this stable API it would be available forever.

This is IMO one of the greatest challenge the software engineering field needs to solve.

How hard was it tried?

I imagine there's a reason that languages like Go adopted M:N threading... obviously part of the reason is that it's way more scaleable, but userspace threading is also supposed to be faster, as context switches don't need to switch to kernel space... were the problems tight loops (which AFAIK is also the problem in Go)? or maybe it's just so much easier / more efficient if you also have GC...

A lot of influential (Indian) people I follow on Twitter are indeed moving onto Mastodon (with stop-gap measures like apps to cross-post "toots" to Twitter during the transition).

It is being done as a form of protest against @TwitterIndia in particular, who seem to be willy-nilly closing down valid accounts of "liberals" whilst protecting the accounts of people who openly call for ethnic cleansing, massacres, riots, lynching, and carrying out active propaganda against minorities - primarily against Muslims and Christians, and to a smaller extent against Sikhs.

It is a seminal move in my opinion, and unless Twitter wishes a huge chunk of its sane demographic to move out completely, it had better start paying more attention to people's concerns.
HPV somewhat increases the risk of some cancers. You are still unlikely to get any of these cancers even if you have HPV.

You can also get vaccinated against HPV, which reduces the risks still further.

It seems pointless to speculate about future pandemics.
His house of cards fell when his mom died. While he was still devastated from the loss, board members approached him for leadership change and he just signed it off like that. Board members were extremely surprised because they though it would start of negotiation at some high unachievable goal and then drive to something low. Instead he just threw it all away. He had all the legal rights and means not to do that.

Personally, I think he is a good person and amazing enterprenuer. Yes, I've seen that can driver video and legions of article how Uber is losing money. I think people don't understand the herculean task of disrupting this entire space of 100 year old business backed by government sponsored monopolies and their extremely rich benefiting donors. This guy comes out of nowhere with nothing and puts up a fight in 700 cities across the world and wins. I believe if he was allowed to continue leading he would have disrupted entire logistics space and Uber would be bigger than Amazon. Unfortunately VCs and their media darlings don't want to wait for another decade and wants to milk the cow until it dies off.

You could argue that there is a difference between practical and theoretical power, but all laws are imaginary and exist only in our minds.
The author is essentially arguing that it's okay to regulate the tech industry because the porn industry survived regulation. It's fine to try to do good by regulating an industry but it doesn't free us from the burden of evaluating the value of each proposed law. Just because it's okay to regulate in general doesn't mean every law is reasonable.

It sounds like a pretext for end-to-end encryption regulation.

Facebook is still alive because it serves its primary purpose as a searchable book of faces. Even if gen z kids are not signing up anymore millennials will occasionally check in on their high school and college cohort and use it to look new people up. Meanwhile boomers actively use it to stay connected with family, especially if they have family abroad. It doesn't matter if everyone is in a little bubble, that's what they want. FB can still happily serve them ads. Twitter is for people with a global focus, it is where bubbles clash, Facebook is for confirmation and support from friends and family. Different people want different things.

An async function immediately returns a Future to the caller, so in that sense it is fully consistent with a sync function that immediately returns a value.

If you want the asynchronously computed value, then the async equivalent to "foo()" is "foo().await", and that is also fully consistent - the function body starts running, and returns the value once it's done.

But there's no sync equivalent of invoking an async function without awaiting it, which is where the hot/cold distinction manifests. Thus, there's no inconsistency, because there's nothing to be consistent with.
I find that graph of media consumption outrageously hard to believe. The average person spends 11 out of 24 hours every day consuming media? People average 4 hours a day watching TV and 1.75 hours a day listening to the radio?

You'd only need as much air volume as you have volume of things heavier than water. A boat sinks because air is displaced by water, increasing the density of the boat. If you make sure the displaceable air runs out before the density of the boat is higher than water it'll never sink.

In practice this is something that's actually done quite a bit. Fill a lot of air spaces in a boat with foam and you get to the point where if your boat fills with water you can simply pull the plug in de bottom of the boat and it will un-sink itself most of the way. You see this for example on small sailboats, the only caveat being you can't be on the boat as it's un-sinking since you'd weigh it down.

That said, seems to me that foam is a lot cheaper and easier than micro-engineering every surface on the boat.
Doesn't sound that fancy... Orbital calculations are hard maths, but when you've written code to do it, that code can run anywhere, including on the satellite. Very little compute power is required.

Also, satellites are in direct view of one another and can easily receive each others signals. A rather simple software radio could receive the signals from a basic omnidirectional antenna. The only challenge is subtracting out the very strong local signal before digitising, but considering the very strong coding gain in GPS, it should be doable.
I wouldn’t mind I had options, but I don’t. Instead we’re the ones to bend over backwards, as you put it, because Apple has a monopoly that we’re required to use.
