I can afford any production car. I choose not to allocate money that way and I’m far from unique there.

We drive 10K miles per year across two drivers. My daily electric (LEAF) costs me $0.05/mi for energy (and I love it). My wife’s SUV costs $0.10/mi for gas and a few pennies for oil (and she loves it). She pays $600/year max for fuel. That covers about a month of Tesla car payment.
I already said it in another thread, but IMO Linus's comments are best seen as a legal positioning to avoid Oracle's thugs going after him for copying ZFS features or for developing code that he knows will be mingled with CDDL.

Having said that, I don't understand why ZoL can't just declare itself as GPL to the kernel and get access to whatever symbols it wants. I thought the only legal teeth that mechanism had is for showing willfull infringement. But ZoL releases source and already bridges the GPL and CDDL by strictly delaying their mixture until runtime, so I would think additional GPL objections by the kernel would be moot.
One processor can't read from the other's memory. It requests what it wants and tells the other where it should be put.
So it's goopy pseudoscience?

This really is not the case. The closest thing is btrfs, which has a more limited feature set and a justified reputation for eating data; it's impossible to do a safe equivalent of e.g. a raidz2 pool with it
As a Norwegian, I have to say it feels crazy.

We had a decent New Year’s Eve with at least a thin layer of snow covering the plains to light things up when it gets dark. A few weeks before that the kids were constantly out playing in the snow.

And early morning January 1. we woke up to all the snow gone.

My kids are out playing with bikes now, something they usually would never do before March or April.

Completely bonkers.
As far as impact, soldiers (and handymen, etc) aren't counted as "not participating", they're pulled out of the denominator also. But yes, the different pools mean that if men and women have equal LFPR percentages, the in-dataset workforce would be 51.7% female. Even weirder, the "prime-age" and overall labor force participation rates can't simultaneously be equal between genders. All of which contributes to news stories like this one misusing random benchmarks.

Why measure it that way?

The BLS started collecting civilian labor force data in 1948. Participation rates had a gender gap of more than 50 points, so the implications of equal participation weren't very relevant. But 10 million soldiers had been raised during the war, many by conscription, and that same 10 million were decommissioned between 1945 and 1947 - all against an adult population of 100 million. So it was clear that during wartime any military-included statistic would have no real bearing on what potential workers at home were choosing to do.

It's not totally clear to me why government workers were counted at all. They don't get drafted and their numbers don't vary wildly in wartime, so it's less of a data issue, but it would include explicit make-work projects like the CCC. I suppose that if the point is to measure which available workers are choosing to work, CCC employment is more "valid" than conscription?

Why keep the stat that way with a comparatively small, all-volunteer military?

Continuity, pretty much. Changing definitions or abandoning stats ruins change-over-time data, so the BLS almost always adds new stats instead of changing old ones.
I'm not attacking a journalistic organization for having a bias, because WikiLeaks isn't a journalistic organization.

One piece of evidence for that is that they have moved to focusing on publishing only what will advance the goals of Russian inteigence.

Another is that when journalists receive a leak they work to authenticate it, ensure it's in the public interest, redact unnecessary personal information, work with whoever is being leaked from (eg the US government) to provide advance notice to minimize harms to ongoing operations, and then release commentery on the leak. WikiLeaks doesn't.
Except Paul Manafort is in prison for lying about this "treasure trove" of information to the FBI he was getting from Assange.
EV's definitely have an advantage in terms of maintenance, but I suspect it's a bit overstated. Most of the things you listed get checked during normal maintenance and might require replacement or adjustment once or twice during the car's lifetime. The big elephant in the room (and possibly an equalizer) is battery lifetime. How long will the battery really last, and how much will replacements cost?
(B). The company is worth $300 billion to the bondholders, and $0 to shareholders, giving a total value of $300 billion.

And that's assuming the company is being liquidated. Most companies with viable businesses are worth a lot more than their assets because the big part of the valuation is assumed future earnings.
He didn't hire people, to be sure, but he did actively encourage, _and_ _assist_ someone in doing so. The defenses against this ("he didn't _really_ tell him to do stuff, he was just talking" or "he wasn't _really_ helping crack those passwords, because if he wanted to he could") don't stand up to reasonability.
Note that the video is about manual trim in extreme conditions.

If pilots knew about MCAS and that in the case of a runaway trim due to MCAS they need to disable electrical trim and switch to manual trim early and keep it manual for the rest of the flight, they would not get into the conditions where it is hard to turn the manual trim wheels.

No, it doesn't. The original Standard Model from the 1970s did, but then neutrino masses were discovered and the Standard Model was modified to include them.

> Kubernetes requires very little maintenance. Kubernetes takes care of itself. A container crashes? Kubes will bring it up. Do I want to roll out a new version? Kubes will do a rolling update on its own. I am running apps in kubes and for almost 2 years I haven't looked at my cluster or vms. They just run. Once every 6 months I log into my console and see that I can upgrade a few nodes. I just click ok and everything happens automatically with zero downtime.

> BTW, learning Kubernetes can be done in a few days.

This is true if you are using managed k8s from a provider or have an in-house team taking care of this. Far, far from the truth if you also need to set up and maintain your own clusters.

I'm very comfortable with k8s as a user and developer, would not be comfortable setting up a scalable and highly available cluster for production use for anything more serious than my homelab.

I was thinking that if the steam had to travel up 10km to the surface, that would give it more time to cool down. Maybe in cold countries, they could use outside air temperature to cool rising steam before it reaches the top of the hole.
Re: "Writing is Nature's way of showing you how sloppy your thinking is"

This is why I dislike the down voting capability on sites. There's an impulse the person dislikes what they read or from how they interpreted it, and then they are able to quell that feeling with a single action vs. having to put the effort into thinking and articulating into words what they're feeling, why they are feeling it, and allow it to be publicly scrutinized - hopefully with respectful responses. This allows not only scrutiny and discourse to occur, however it also offers an opportunity for OP to potentially learn something - whether that their language wasn't articulated clearly enough and so interpreted how they didn't expect or other.
I don't understand your air quotes.

Being hundreds of dollars more expensive is objectively a disadvantage.

"not a very good email machine" sounds right, in comparison to something like a blackberry.

And that's it, he only listed those two things. He didn't try to make up fake reasons.

Something being better does not mean the disadvantages somehow don't exist.
I think you are deliberately emphasizing part of the op's post that wasn't meant to be the main point.

They weren't commenting on the severity of the punishment, but rather showing an example of a very old case where similar scrutiny was placed on poor workmanship making the builder culpable to negligence and the ensuing fallout of that negligence.

There was a lot more independence and respect 20 years ago. Now, much like the highlight in the article, there's a great deal of emphasis put on "team" and often cargo-cult style practices (IE: if we do these things, we'll be a high-performing team). Even as software has spread into more corners of our life and the number of developers has expanded, I don't see the professional respect that developers had 20 years ago. The infrastructure tools / documentation / pre-built parts have made our lives easier, but the number of tools and technologies we need to understand on a typical project has also exploded. We used to need to develop deep expertise - say on database management - that today gets abstracted away to AWS (this is not to say that those skills aren't still valuable and useful, just different...).

There's a lot more technology-choice-by-fad today. We didn't have as many choices or the instant access and bombardment of opinions back in the day, so decisions were slower, IE: we didn't just switch out tools on a whim because it "sounded like a good idea"
So happy I'm in a small team right now... I used to really hate doing this as an engineering manager. I had to do it for seven engineers plus submit one for my manager and one for a peer. And then I had to coach my team members on their peer reviews. And for each review you had to fill out a paragraph on seven topics some of which sounds similar. And then I have to clarify any major discrepancies between my review and two peer reviews for each engineer. And HR seems to reinvent the forms every year.
Apple is up 100% because it's kind of the safe haven among tech companies. It actually has the earnings to justify its market value even when using conventional P/E ratio evaluations. This means that if the current oversupply of "fantasy" in the stock markets, especially the tech markets, should ever run out, Apple will most likely be much less affected than most other companies.

Lots of tech-interested investors realized this and decided to take some of the gains made with more risky bets into this "safe haven", because this lets them continue to invest in a tech company at least. And that's why the stock is up regardless of any new groundbreaking product from Apple.
This stuff goes in a retrospective. Airing of non specific grievances, therapy, etc. A scrum should be as short as possible.

Iterative Product Engineering for Startups
Startups are in a constant battle with enterprises to attract and retain elite technical talents. For example, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Netflix, Salesforce, and Google currently have 20% more engineers than they need!

Other familiar problems:

A. It takes about 3-6 months to attract, hire and build out a product team, thus impacting your ability to execute with speed.

B. You might have to settle for less experienced/lower product quality due to limited capital and capability to compete.

C. Freelance Models are decade-old and rigid: They operate with an outsourcing model that is a project focused which makes it unsuitable for startups engineering which is agile and iterative in nature.

Grupa's mission: To empower product innovators to build internet companies that will redefine our world

We set out to provide:

1. Access to elite product teams: we have built a system to identify and onboard elite product teams to work distributed, onsite or remotely with startups.

2. An integrated workflow system: which imbibes an iterative execution system for road mapping, design, engineering and maintenance of your product. We provide the tools, resources, infrastructure, and processes to help startups and product teams build, ship and scale world-class products.

3. A solution for startups/teams: our systems cater to the product engineering needs of startups and engineering teams drawing from decades of experience in building, running and investing in startups as a founding team.

4. Affordable Service: our system offers startups the opportunity to subscribe to service plans suited for the stage of their businesses; similar to subscribing to AWS.

I will be happy to know your thoughts and possibly grant you early access to the platform.

What does tokenization (of strings, I guess) do?
Start with understanding what business problem the app solves.

Understand roles in application (admin, user, etc.)
Click through the application, do list of all URLs/pages, describe what you think it does and consult with PO/team to clarify understanding.

Then learn where data comes in/out and in what format.
Study schema of database (hint: ERD diagrams).
Then study business API (schema, endpoints, graphiql).

Then you can move to frontend. Frontend is easy after you understand all above :P You will basically know what it does/should do, so you don't even need to read code.

React code is very modular so it's easy to navigate, to find where to start simply use React Devtools (shows component name on hover), then you should be able to navigate rest of code via IDE/editor.

If codebase is of high quality it should also have React Styleguidist or Storybook with most components to play with.

To understand react it's best to write it yourself:

That's not true in the case of creating new markets either geographically or catering to clients who would not be in the market otherwise. If you as the rights holder don't, won't, or refuse to capitalize on those opportunities otherwise, it makes no difference to your bottom line - or might even increase it due to additional advertising by third parties/network effects. In that case (which exists to some extent or another in many common scenarios), it is wealth multiplication.

Referring to the article in [0], facts are not copyrightable.

If you're going to write some code, then you usually choose to base your work on a particular language, which means you copy a lot of the design decisions and original work that went into it, and that is hopefully what everyone wanted ITFP. You (or O'Reilly) copyright a thorough description of the language's syntax, not the syntax itself. An API's function signatures are a more specific and elaborate kind of syntax, but all are just facts about the world now that someone published the thing. edit: I mean that the uncopyrightable fact is that "if you are going to use this thing, here is exactly the way it must be done".

This goes much further than 'imitation is the sincerest form of flattery'. The reason e.g. Microsoft published the reference for MFC is because they wanted people to be able to use it, and actually use it. My shallow opinion is that interfaces are like that. You want people to build on top of it rather than making up a new and utterly foreign thing every time, so you want people to copy the exact things about it that make this possible, correctly.

You could argue that Oracle didn't own any of the code that different bits of Android were interfacing with, so they didn't have any incentive there. But that only means Oracle forgot or doesn't care about that thing called 'mindshare'. People learning and using identical interfaces "should" have been something that Oracle wanted.

(I don't mean to imply any notable similarity in the two cases, but people knowing when and where the trains were running-- so they could use those and keep on deciding to use those-- "should" be something that MTA wanted.)

On the side, obsessing over protection is precisely what I've said is distasteful about the GPL.

Alternatively it involves actually mathematically proving that the function is used correctly, which is rather hard in sequential programming languages, and nigh impossible in parallel.
Just proving the alleged "sync" works is a nightmare involving some proof or assumptions on underlying hardware. Exhaustive testing of parallel behaviors is near impossible too.

Removing logic can only go as far as the essentials that are required for solving the problem.
Thing is, we have more rules forcing people to be low density than we do forcing people to be high density (in the US). So we have, indeed, removed choice - from those wishing to be in a compact area.

To give just one example of these many, many, many rules, I just spoke with an architect about changes to my house and one of the rules is I need at least 2.4 metres of basically dead space where I meet the road because it's assumed I'll be sitting there in a car looking left and right before exiting. Saying "nah I ride a bike so I'm going to put a hedge up there" isn't an option.

"house with a yard, a few minutes drive from a walkable downtown,"

Problem is that every time you drive to that downtown you make it a bit less walkable by virtue of bringing your car. In effect, everyone there is paying a little bit of their quality of life for your parking. Sometimes, this makes sense (having a place for ambulances is good), but sometimes you end up with a tragedy of the commons.
> There are many legitimate reasons to short Tesla, including execution problems, car maintenance support, increasing competition, their poor self-driving software.

The problem is that those issues are exaggerated for Tesla and understated for other makes. This leads to weird volatility with Tesla, IMO, and I think this latest exaggerated surge to a high valuation is a part of that.

Execution problems? You mean like the delayed VW ID.3? These problems happen all the time. Reliability issues... hmm Ford had major transmission problems on the Focus, Honda had transmission problems on the Accord a few years back and Nissan has struggled with CVT issues for years. But these don't make the press all that much, because they are boring.

But Cybertrucks and an occasional battery fire? Those are front page news, and each creates wild exaggerated swings.

Overall the extra attention helps Tesla, of course.

They didn't have dual citizenship, only UK citizenship. The UK jumping through this hoop made them stateless, which is against international law. They are UK citizens, and only UK citizens, by birth.

And there's all sorts of ways around the law here. Like tacking on a new charge once he's on US soil that they then seek the death penalty on. Then the state office goes "oh no, how could we have seen this coming", when it was the back room deal the whole time.
Could I just eat the sprouts in a salad of sorts? Smoothies aren't really my thing.
I think where the analogy breaks is that Tesla didn't invent cars. Electric cars are new as a viable thing and have some advantages and disadvantages, but they're not a difference in kind, like a Blackberry/smartphone was over a thing that only makes phone calls. They compete directly with the old thing on the traditional terms, like performance and fuel cost.

People are going to start preferring electric cars. They're faster and more efficient and battery improvements are likely to continue to reduce their disadvantages (up front cost and range). The traditional carmakers could make a strong commitment to electric cars right now, the question is will they? It's like asking Microsoft to embrace Linux in 1999. They could do it, and they might be better off if they did, but you can certainly see why they might drag their feet in a way that makes them worse off in the long run.

They also have a huge problem with dealer incentives, because the dealers make most of their money on service and electric vehicles need less service, but the dealers are the ones choosing which cars to promote to anybody who walks in the door. It's no use to make a great electric car if any time somebody comes in looking to buy it, the dealer convinces them not to.

>The university agreed to several of their demands, including that, “A group of (mostly senior) faculty will review the introductory programming courses to ensure that they are inclusive of students from all backgrounds.” A working group was formed and it produced a set of recommendations.

That's a huge insult directed at exactly the student they claim to be supporting.

The trick with intelligence agencies is that the general public only ever hears about a small number of operations. A large intelligence apparatus undertakes a great many, most of which succeed or fail in relative silence.

This makes it impossible to generalize fairly about "most of the operations". You're working from a data set so heavily filtered as to be useless for that.

It's still a problem with Android. If you buy a Dell laptop running Windows, it will come with a bunch of useless bloatware. But you can just uninstall it. On Linux, obviously you can uninstall whatever you want. On Android, you cannot, unless you happen to find the right incantations at the right time for your device before an update stops them.
