USB midi is already a thing though. And its a real pain to use if you want to connect 2 devices together where one of them isn't your computer.
simple back of the envelope calculation: in 3 years time, they will have 3 giga factories (+1 in upstate new york), each of which should be scale to 500k cars. at an average resale price of $50k (might be a little lower, but let's keep it simple), that's $75B in revenue. at a 10% profit margin, that's $7.5B profit. let's presume a 20x factor as a growth stock, you have an evaluation of $150B, which it's currently trending to.

This is excluding any other growth opportunities (self driving, solar, battery storage, drive train). just plain car sales...
Are you arguing that dumb people _today_ can't eat mushrooms and drive? That being decriminalized will mean people will suddenly think it's okay to drive under the influence? That decriminalizing it will make a lot more people take mushrooms, thus increasing the number of people dumb enough to drive under the influence of them?

You can be impaired by all sorts of other, legal drugs today. Is there an epidemic of say, ambien impaired drivers? Oxy? Etc.

Regardless, even if there is a slight uptick (which I doubt will happen) in the number of mushroom-impaired drivers, I think we're still much better off as a society than imprisoning people who use them responsibly.
That's quite an error margin for a $100 billion company.
There's some evidence: pretty much same platform as 3 should imply roughly the same cost structure for the Y. That+higher price implies higher margin. It would be akin to Performance Model 3 in that sense.
I assumed Standard ML was more like Haskell than it is. Going through OP's tour, I notice that it has enough features to actually be usable. It has primitives for concurrency and OS APIs.

Also flash player on the Mac was terrible and consumed a lot of energy. I’m not surprised Apple didn’t want it on iOS.
On which? Production or delivery?
I call BS. There's no casino game outside of a slot machine that someone could play that could turn a few hundred dollars into $1M in a gambling session.

This difference you're missing is the upside is asymmetric with options. Your losses are capped but your gains are essentially unlimited. In a typical casino game the house edge is >50%. If you're turning $500 into $1M at a blackjack or craps table you're cheating.

Gmail is kind of tricky, I am not sure if you are talking about the web interface or something else. The web interface is a slightly more complex case, as you'd have to patch the browser, and check every piece of javascript. You cannot check the server part yourself, of course. But you wouldn't use SAAS if you were interested in security in the first place, unless you trust Google's servers, in which case HTTPS+HSTS (+cert pinning?) should be enough.

Otherwise (android app? Browser js/html/css?) you separately compile gmail. Assuming the build is reproductible, you can check that its hash corresponds to what was sent to you.
Do you think California would be prosperous without connectivity?

It’s not 100% of it, but it is absolutely an essential prerequisite. Slow or no internet makes places a nonstarter. Having a fallback option to a single national telco lets lots of places start the long process of building an information economy that they cannot begin at all without it.
My quote was our observed performance across our fleet of developer machines until ~December of 2019. Maybe our project was hitting some pathological edge case (more likely this is just the performance you can expect for non-toy projects), but there's no documented way to debug this as far as I (or anyone else in our organization) could tell. Note that this was the performance even if nothing was changing on the mounted file systems and with all watchers disabled. Bystanders can feel free to roll the dice, I guess.
You asked what the bill thesis is. Bull thesis is there’s a ton of growth ahead for Tesla. Market reaction seems to agree.

If one disagrees with the market, short TSLA. Hasn’t worked out that well for those starting with relatively large amounts of capital, but maybe shorts are still right! Vote with your dollars.

Cool project - if you're looking to set up a secure VPN in a quick, no-nonsense way, be sure to look at [Algo](https://github.com/trailofbits/algo). Does WireGuard (and IPSec if you want), only secure, sane defaults, and nothing more. Hands down the easiest, most secure way to setup a modern VPN in a few minutes. Far better than using some random anonymous VPN service running out of some random person's closet that's.
I'd probably reach for Scylla wherever I would consider Cassandra (or similar), though the similar bigtable/columnstore-like services in most cloud hosts is generally still going to be easier.

The performance over C* is surprisingly good.
>Seattle is below Paris in latitude. Plenty of sunlight. That is definitely not the problem in terms of energy production.

Tesla has a pretty detailed solar power estimator that uses historical daily sunlight levels at a fine-grained level. When I used it, the time to pay off my costs was close to 25 years, and that involved a lot of assumptions about future energy prices.

Why is creative work the only 'real work'?

Do you honestly think someone who does an exhausting 12 hour shift repairing trains, covered in grease, is not doing 'real work' because they aren't creating anything?
From the article:

> When you connect devices together, the Capability Inquiry will immediately determine what each instrument is able to do: Your new MIDI 2.0 controller will automatically know which pieces of your rig are equipped with MIDI 1.0, which are capable of 2.0, and tailor its messages accordingly.

So hopefully backward compatibility Just WorksTM.
Probably just multiple people with different understandings of the word. For example, I picked it up from StarCraft multiplayer in the late 90s/early 2000s, where there were levels:

newb(ie) - New to the game (typically doesn't know what they're doing).

noob - Currently not good at the game, but is trying to get better (usually lots of overlap with "newb(ie)").

n00b - Insult for someone who isn't good at the game, and is not trying to get better. Often deludes themselves into thinking they're already good at the game.
True as that may be, there's a spectrum. When I'm regularly really stressed, I find myself eating more desserts and junk food. It's a coping strategy. So is heroin. It's good that the government doesn't mandate that I don't use sugar to feel good, and frequently argued as good that the government does mandate that I don't use heroin to cope. The question is where each drug lands on this spectrum. We have collectively decided that you can drink alcohol, but that can be a horrible way to cope.

My experience with mushrooms puts it pretty close to the marijuana/alcohol end of the spectrum.

I'm sorry if mushrooms contributed to a difficult upbringing for you.

Lessons Learned from 5 Failed Ideas
Thanks for checking it out! :)
Regarding the social impact, while likely overstated it has the possibility of making a real impact. Rural communities in upstate NY (Catskills, Adirondacks) have had their tourist season drop to ~6 weeks in the summer, basically because people can't take so much time off while being out of contact (there is limited internet and cell phone service. Not having either is the norm). Being able to work remotely from those types of locations will extend that tourist season and help the local economies there. For some areas, this may be enough to move the economy from depressed to prosperous.
Is there a central authority that makes the calculation and assigns the right value? AFAIK, there's no such thing and the price is determined by the amount that a buyer agrees to pay. It has nothing to do with company performance. The company performance can result in an acquisition, bankruptcy or shares sales/buybacks though, but until that happens nobody knows.
Needs more mention of emacs and org mode... :)

I am curious to see the general workflow expanded on. I hesitate to think there is a single correct way to keep a notebook. Seems flexibility is the key feature. And is why text is so well used.
They didn’t collapse because of CDOs. They collapsed because GSEs had pushed the real estate market to ridiculous levels. The GFC was a classic case of government interference creating market distortions.
Ask HN: How to evolve or sustain open source?
Opensource is great! It provides a medium for everyone to express their ideas, build products, collaborate with like minded people and feel good about it.

But opensource also provides the following:

* People (especially maintainers) getting burned out
* Not properly paid
* Conflicts due to war of ideas
* Criticizing and/or technology/framework/other policing
* Ignoring contributions / collaborations
* Certain projects are neglected (even though they are awesome) just because they are individual projects.

How do you think the entire Opensource community should evolve?

What do you think should be there for an ideal Opensource community?

If we are building an Opensource initiative from the ground up, how it should be built and what are the expectations?

What is lacking currently in the community (a.k.a the most important thing to address)?

I am actually pretty excited for it. My parents don't have access to high speed internet (that is reliable) outside of 4G (which is either very expensive or has tight data caps,) so finally they might be able to get themselves Netflix, etc.
Exactly. If they push cash out it doesn't work.

It doesn't seem so brazen that 40 years of proprietary IP could have built something to scrape 0.00000x% of the value of something much bigger that's roughly but not exactly built on mathematical principles and is largely unexplored due to a relatively short life.

The "sovereign pump and dump" is interesting. Fund A is 20% of your assets and is "clean". Fund B raises the asset value of whatever A is invested in, and A monetizes. You could maybe even do this without the manager knowing. But it seems so crazy inefficient surely if you had a billion dollars this isn't the way you would do it.
To support your point there's this bit of survey work.

> Out of almost 10,000 last year magic mushroom consumers only 0.2% (n = 17, 13 men and 4 women) reported seeking emergency medical treatment. Magic mushrooms were the safest drugs to take in terms of needing to see emergency medical treatment according to GDS2017. There was no significant different in rates between male and females.

> The rate is considerably lower than with LSD presumably because of intrinsic safety of magic mushrooms ( the greatest risk is picking the wrong type), the smaller dosing using units (a single mushroom v an LSD tab) and greater understanding of how many mushrooms may constitute atypical dose for a desired effect in your region. People who use psychedelics are generally very sensible and show some of the best preparation and adoption of harm reduction practices of any drug (see the Global Drug Survey highway https://www.globaldrugsurvey.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/...
Good point.

In the mobile and desktop world devs are totally fine with using native GUIs that ship with the OS (even encouraged to do so) but in the web world projects are criticized for using libraries like Bootstrap and devs and designers are expected to reinvent the wheel every time. Also don't use a native alert or you will condemned to hell.
There are scant details about what the launched product will look like in practice, but keep in mind that urban and suburban areas are spoiled by high-speed 4G LTE and wired gigabit. The vast majority of the US, by land area, has to chose from dial-up and very expensive pre-Starlink satelite Internet service. Even 1 Mbit is a huge improvement over 56 kbps.

I'm haven't looked into the economics of running fiber everywhere, as compared to launching an extensive constellation of satellites but I will note that SpaceX has the competitive advantage of having at-cost access to reusable rockets, compared to an outside party paying SpaceX market rates for transit to space.
I was actually expecting a pretty big drop today given the huge recent runup, so it's fair to say that my breath is not held.

But it's the long term I care about, and I'm fairly confident that Tesla is well-positioned for the direction things are headed.

Electricity (and solar in particular) - Continually reducing production costs on a resource that is unlimited, at least from the perspective of our planet.

Fossil fuels - Continually increasing costs as resources are depleted and externalities are accounted for.

What would be an example for professions that required at least two generations?
Your intuitions are correct; romance novels and thriller novels tend to be the most successful genres on Kindle Unlimited. Different pricing/distribution models attract different kinds of customers. (On the other end of things, I have seen engineers pay $30+ for PDFs about technical subjects without hesitation; I don't often see people spending that kind of money for romance ebooks.)

For similar reasons, the quality and genre of made-for-TV movies currently airing on the Hallmark channel is probably different from what you could experience for the cost of a ticket at your local movie theater: one of these distribution channels caters to people who want to consume several hours of content every day at no marginal cost beyond the monthly subscription that is already part of their budget, while the other caters to people who are willing to pay $15 to spend 2 hours watching a film that a studio spent millions of dollars marketing to them.

To be clear, the CPU on the container itself was negligble according to `docker stats`; however, the VM process was still using its max allotment. My money is on the volume manager, but we didn't see it being worthwhile to figure out how to debug deep into the bowels of the VM technology (we don't have VM or filesystem experts on staff) to sort it out. Note that we also tried docker-sync and a variety of other solutions, but the issue persisted. Eventually we gave up and just moved back to native processes managed by PM2. Our local dev environment sucks a fair bit more to set up, but it's cheaper than debugging Docker for Mac or dealing with the persistent performance problems.

False. Tesla earned a net and operating profit this quarter and last and looks set to continue the trend toward consistent profitability as they roll out their more profitable position in China. They've reached a sales scale where their operating income is annualizing to well over a billion dollars per year. Operating income was $359 million this quarter, and $620 million combined for the two most recent quarters. Free cash flow for the quarter was a billion dollars. They're sitting on $6.2 billion in cash now.

> This is because there is no native support on Mac for docker. Everything has to run in a virtualized environment that's basically a slightly more efficient version of VirtualBox. When people say docker is lightweight and they're running it on a Mac they don't quiet understand what they're saying. Docker is lightweight on baremetal linux, it's not lightweight on other platforms because the necessary kernel features don't exist anywhere except linux.

"grind to a halt" and "is not lightweight" are not even close to being synonymous.
