After reading your last paragraph, I'm convinced that we are in full agreement, except for nomenclature choices.

Efficiency is just that, consuming less. One can also consume less end services, too. But if you're saying that a carbon tax is infeasible, then far more in feasible is just taking away with no replacement.

I am 100% in agreement with your plans to educate people to consume less, and have gotten active in local politics to try to effect the changes you suggest. These are exactly the types of things that we need to be doing! I don't think they will decrease GDP, and will likely increase it, as well as increase the quality of life of those who choose to live closer to more people with more transit and amenities nearby. Walking to a small grocery store that takes up 1/8th or less of a super market, and doing that daily or every other day to get the freshest food, is something that will make tons of people far more happy and likely reduce food waste, etc. but I think this will likely increase GDP.

Locally, the biggest pushback is from those who oppose allowing dense walkable neighborhoods. They tend to oppose "growth," be it economic, or population, or incomes, or basically any change from their car-centric lives, and walkable neighborhoods and the construction that comes with buildings taller than 2 stories are the prime culprit, or so they say. They control the local Sierra Club chapter, even. So we get to hear about the "dangers" of 5G tech rather than concrete proposals to stop climate change through local political change. Sigh.
Interesting code and fairly readable; I liked the simple scripting system, and there were a few comments and examples, and yes - double buffering of the Mode 13h screen (though the memory allocation seemed weird, but maybe there was a good reason for that). Certainly better written code than what I was writing at 16, mainly in BASIC and assembler at the time (was a fan of the Lee Adams series of 3D programming books).

Affordable C compilers (for a teenager at least) were not really a thing at the time (IIRC, even the DOS stuff, if you owned such a machine which I did not, still cost a couple hundred dollars around 1989-90-ish). I didn't manage to get a C compiler until the mid-90s when I picked up a copy of Turbo C for DOS, but I still think I paid $100 for the privilege.
Alright thanks for taking the time to detail it for me!

Most languages/runtimes indeed don't have this kind of execution model. It wouldn't often make sense for a general purpose programming language to function like this, but then again both Go and Elixir are specifically designed for the web.

You're right in that when there's no built-in design pattern for async stuff the language community finds various, perhaps conflicting, ways of doing it. In Haskell you could use threads or some Async library (that uses threads) to achieve concurrency, there are many different abstractions. But in a typical web API it's not common to be needing lots of async functionality, exactly because each request is already served in its own thread. It's ok to write synchronous code there as it does not block the runtime or any other thread.
product is being offered to be downloaded, which means re-distribution.
there was also the Moto ROKR, which was a Jobs-blessed product. But in any case, keyword research isn't just about punching the exact term into a search engine. It's about looking at all the different combinations of terms that would identify user interest in your product.

For the iPhone that would have included search terms for "camera phone quality", "phone with web browsing", "phone with headphone jack" etc. At the time, the vast majority of phones came with a non-standard 2.5mm jack for a wired headset. The concept of listening to music on your phone was alien to all except maybe a couple of Blackberry and Nokia models.
This still sounds like the iPhone to me.

A lot of other competitors will make android devices that are similar and eventually get a large market share, but the iPhone still dominates the higher end with better margins.
Earlier this year about 8 months ago, Tesla shares were down 38% on the year. At that time, I took a trip to Inner Mongolia. I was about 150 miles from anywhere anyone in the western world would call a city. I saw a Tesla there in the middle of the desert of Inner Mongolia [0]. That's pretty impressive penetration.

1. There is no long term storage facility anywhere in the world for nuclear waste. Nuclear proponents don't get to wave away waste until there is an operating long term waste repository or reprocessing facility. Short term on site cask or cooling pond storage doesn't count.

2. Nuclear, even state of the art tech, is not cost competitive against renewables or natural gas [1].

3. The time to build generators is measured in decades, not months of years. Investors don't want to invest without sovereign guarantees, both on the bonds and the facility itself. An enormous amount of investment is pouring into renewables.

It is a fine technology for your military navy, but a terrible technology for commercial electrical generation. Wind, solar, and storage are going to carry us to 100% renewables at this point. China installed almost 12GW of solar PV generating capacity in December 2019 alone [2].

It's true that the man pages aren't meant to be the primary method of learning Unix. But they are indeed a spectacular and irreplaceable resource.

One of the best things that ever happened in my career was having a desk across from the entire SunOS manual set. I'd pull them down one at a time and read them, cover to cover. It paid off, big time, and I strongly recommend it.

I've read somewhere that Cadillac's Super Cruise is vastly superior compared to Tesla's autopilot. I'm not sure the software gap is as wide as you think.

This tends to be more of an issue with GNU programs that have info pages. You are not really supposed to use the man pages in that case. The info pages for GNU tar have lots of examples scattered throughout:

BSD systems, for example, have much better man pages that have an actual "EXAMPLES" section near the bottom.
As I keep saying, we're using 18th century social technology to solve 21st century problems. Thus we are treated to spectacles like the Chief Justice of the United States reminding everyone that that the US Senate is 'the world's greatest deliberative body' literally at the midnight hour following a day of blatant partisan hackery punctuated with ceremonial roll calls, whose outcome is well known in advance and whose architects make sarcastic comments on their role in the process.

For the first time in history, we have technology that would allow every resident of the US to both receive transmit information more or less instantaneously; such delays as exist are not between our ears, nor do we lack for access to long-term knowledge or choices for how to share it. Vast libraries of knowledge fit in a pocket and participation in national conversations is not merely possible but expected; our every impulse and idea is recorded weighted, traded, and incorporated into a cathedral of civic participation.

At the center of this wondrous contrivance the national rituals are conducted, like psychic engines of historical propulsion whose operation is sacrosanct even as it propels us toward another iceberg, and woe to those who interrupt the comforting rhythms with anxious facts.
Interesting. Thankfully most of my current work involves a stack that works fine on Linux/Mac, and I don't foresee many other devs needing to work with it, least of all devs using Windows.

But I recall doing contract work where it took me and every new developer literally a day (at least) to get their Ruby on Rails stack working with the codebase, and where we often ran into issues getting multiple projects running alongside on account of them needing different versions of gems or Ruby. I can see how Docker would be a great timesaver there.
Just out of curiosity, how do you know it is your software?
>* more traffic

Homeowners generally don't fight nearly as hard against new office buildings. The bay area, for example, wouldn't have a housing problem if we built apartments like we build offices, and our traffic problem would decrease.

The problem is that the home value model of homeowner motivation fits the data much better than any other model.

Show me a bay area "homeowners for better public transit" rally and maybe I'll change my mind.

> School superintendent: Actually we've run the numbers, we have plenty of capacity and we welcome the additional tax revenue.

"we've run the numbers" is a poor response. Our local school has a playground covered with "temporaries" and a class size of 25-30 per teacher. School overcrowding is not a hypothetical concern.

Homeowners want their home prices to rise in the way anyone wants any investment's value to rise. But it doesn't mean they don't have other reasonable concerns.

FTFY.

Why?

It's what the stock market has become. It used to be a way for companies to raise cash to grow and pay dividends, and for investors to amass generational wealth at generational speeds. Now it is just a war of algorithms and differential equations to get rich as fast as possible.

Some reasons:

1. Option trading (really came into its own in the late 80's/90's)

2. Electronic trading (anyone with a brokerage account and $1,000 can play)

3. Algorithm trading (trades happening at the microsecond scale)

4. Insane speculation (Look at the historical graph of the DJIA and you will see in the last 40 years things have gone batshit insane)

5. Black-Scholes equation (the equation that governs the insanity)

For trading firms with servers in the NYSE building that are making trillions of trades a day at microsecond speeds, it is a statistical gambling model fought by algorithms (check out RadioLab's special on this) with no reason. For the rest of us, we're left with index funds that hope the average trends upwards.

Most of Apple's profits -- as of a few years ago -- came from iPhone sales. I'm pretty sure this is still true. In ~2015, the iPhone had a 63% margin.

It looks like the company as a whole averages a ~40% gross margin [1]. Tesla's appears to be closer to ~15%, with many highly negative quarters [2].

Of course, net income to revenue is probably more important to look at in this case. Apple's is consistently above ~20%. Tesla's has mostly been negative, and the highest it's ever been is around ~2%.

Tesla would need to sell roughly 10 times as many cars at the same margin to meet Toyota/Volkswagen/GM valuations. If Tesla were based on it's current financials, it would be valued at $5-$10Bn. It wouldn't be valued at $100Bn now if people thought it could be reasonably valued at $100Bn in the future. People must think it could reasonably be valued at $1T in 10 years.

For that to be true, Tesla would need to be selling 200% of cars on the planet. A lot of people think car sales have peaked. It's possible in 10 years there will be less cars sold. It's highly improbable there will be twice as many cars sold, and that all of them will belong to Tesla.

Definitely what I've sen as well.

Plus, traffic could be dealt with by better planning so you didn't have to funnel everyone through 2 intersections to get to work every day. But people instead want to add more lanes because more people automatically means more traffic.

It's less the property values as much as "I liked it when I moved in and don't want more people moving in"
Additionally, it looks like the OP's program is based on an open source program "InstagramBot" which seems to live as a copy in the OP's repo without a matching LICENSE.
The issue is that to justify a $100B valuation at current revenues means that the standard of proof is "likely" and not "not unlikely."

How does that work btw, would I just use rollback the commit and branch from the old commit if I wanted the apache license version?

I've also seen people try to erase old commits to change licenses, I was wondering what that actually means for use since the code would have still had an older version with the more liberal license
> It's unfortunate that games have become so complicated and mod-unfriendly...

Garry’s Mod was pretty popular a few years ago (not sure about today). It’s a very mod friendly game as it itself is a mod. There’s also Minecraft.

But yes, you are correct than many big (AAA) games don’t support mods anymore. I believe there three big reasons:

* Server control / licensing: With games like Minecraft where you can run your own server, you get to choose what mods are on the server. The publisher running their own server with other people’s mods could get them into licensing trouble.

* Complexity: Mod support takes time and effort. You need to ensure a stable API (or stable enough) do mods don’t break every time you update your game. Yes, you could just break the API, but fans of your game aren’t going to like that.

And finally, the big one:

* Money: Why add support for mods if you can’t make money from that feature? Yes, you could make it a DLC, but why put in the effort if there’s no guarantee of an ROI?
It's simple, I don't see why more people don't get it.

The stock is mostly about anticipation about the future. Tesla has hit all of its stated goals from 2009. Elon's other venture, SpaceX has also hit most of its stated goals or is on track to hit them.

These are world-changing goals, not your normal everyday corporate goals. Elon has proven he can hit them. The goals set out for the next 10 years are also incredible goals, which should set the company up to be a trillion dollar market cap if the goals are reached.
You shouldn't look at Tesla as just a company that sells cars. Uber has a market cap of $64b. If Tesla ever nails self driving, they could turn themselves into Uber almost overnight by deploying that tech to their already sold fleet of vehicles. That obviously isn't a guarantee and I wouldn't even say it the most likely outcome, but even at a low probability it is a possibility that likely adds billions to the company's valuation. There are similar scenarios for other industries with their solar, battery, and trucking businesses.
> Now I'm not going to pretend that homeowners are otherwise pure and virtuous and not even slightly concerned about the price of their house. But that's rarely the only concern.

it can be hard to tell the difference. most changes that the owner of a detached home would oppose are intrinsically undesirable to this kind of person. because they're undesirable, they tend to devalue the affected properties.

I don't think it's wrong for homeowners to oppose things that they don't want in their neighborhood. presumably they bought the house because they liked the neighborhood the way it was. everyone is entitled to advocate for their own interests. the problem is when they get an outsized say in what actually happens.
Indeed... its already happened with the Bolt. It beats the Model 3 on several objective practicality metrics.

It is also slower and perceived as less attractive. Due to poor marketing, I suspect most perceive it to be much slower, rather than just somewhat slower.

It sells really poorly. Most of these other competitors are going to run into the same fate for years.

A $100B market cap for a fast growing company with $25B in annual sales is on the cheap side, if anything.

The real question is why is VWAGY valued so poorly? A $100B market cap for a company with $240B in annual sales means the market is quite pessimistic about VW.
Yes. Even if they don't use your data (incredibly unlikely), they win just by scamming privacy conscious, or even apathetic, people into paying more.

I'm pretty sure the parent is talking about the court of public opinion. Every few weeks like clockwork now the New York Times or the Verge runs some breathless story about how IG/YouTube/Messenger/whatever is harboring pedophiles; it's easy to see how Discord could be next. The difference is, those other companies are big enough to manage the PR hit and fallout; I'm not sure Discord is the same.
You could if you wanted to, though for whatever reason people are much more comfortable with leveraging 5x to purchase a home than they are with leveraging 5x to invest in a brokerage account.
everyone thinks housing is supposed to be a great/high yield investment. that's only true if you're renting it out and even then, the rent to own ratio tends to be about 3-5% minus expenses and property taxes and insurance and taxes, which ultimately gets you to about 1-2% per year, plus the appreciation.

In the very long term housing can not increase in value quicker than wages (roughly inflation). And, if we were to actually make any progress in the industry of providing shelter, housing should actually lag inflation.
I appreciate that you liked the experience, but since I have not had that experience, would you mind explaining what it is that made you feel so strongly about the car?

Beyond the expected comments about Tesla being the iPod of the auto industry, I personally feel like these types of valuations during the beginning of an economical slowdown can be judged by the duck test. If it looks like a bubble, and sounds like a bubble, it will probably pop like a bubble. Unfortunately, most of the time this opinion will be grouped together with "Tesla haters", of which I'm definitely not one. I love Tesla and I want them to succeed, but runaway valuations based on hopes and dreams are normal in a bubble, and when you look around I see a lot more factors saying "yes" than those saying "no" when I wonder if this is another tech bubble or not. When valuations will level out though, noone knows.
Fair enough, that's a subjective assessment. They tend to be substantially worse for me. The very best of them aren't substantially worse, but they are still worse. My complaints about them are the the UX tends to be unpleasant.
Well.. the DuckDuckGo and Google implementations are a little different but on both sites the ads are designed to blend into the organic results. If we weren't talking about the icon we could talk about the background colour, font, text colour, layout, URL in green etc. I don't begrudge DuckDuckGo, they have a very large competitor on their hands and wish them a lot of luck.
There’s been some research lately about whether Private Equity outperformance is partly driven by the illiquidity making it harder for investors to dump their positions in a moment of panic. Your thoughts about housing illiquidity seem related to this concept. (If you’re interested, Matt Levine has covered it in Money stuff with links to the research papers).

In addition, we have affordable margin loans, mortgage interest tax deduction, property tax deduction to juice the system, not to mention additional legsilation like 1031 exchanges, prop13, etc.

Many of these were put in place as public policy promoting homeownership driven by the idea that homeownership would be less costly / beneficial to society compared to long term tenancy. That thought doesn’t seem to necessarily be wrong per se. but if you help out demand side legislatively while restricting supply legislatively, sometimes you’ll get cases of imbalance like we see in the coastal cities.

Given what we’ve observed in the last couple of decades around the world, a managed system like Singapore where property appreciates at a ~2% rate a year (and if demand suddenly shoots up, they’ll add transfer taxes or stamp duties or inject supply into the market) seems much more stable for society.
Yes, googling "reverse osmosis demineralized water" provides many options to add minerals back in.

The WHO stated that demineralized water is unsuitable for long term drinking due to the lack of minerals.

Not sure how significant this is or how many minerals you can get from diet instead of water.
