How in any way could me saying that he used buzzwords and quick insults, which he did, with me having "blind devotion" to poll numbers and hatred for him.

I don't hate anyone, and as far as the devotion to poll numbers. I am one of the people that heavily doubts poll numbers, and I am skeptical of these results as well, but I also personally believe that the statement the poll is making is true.

I would be glad to debate the merits, results, methodology, sample size, or any other variable with you if you want.
Indeed! I got a car with ~8k miles for 30% less than new. And it's a budget hatchback, not a rapidly depreciating German luxury sedan.

The Monroney sticker is only valid for new cars. Yes, the car had FSD when it was new. What Tesla alleges is that when they re-sold the car at auction, they didn’t include FSD.

Let’s say a car had a motor swap from a V8 to a V6, and is then sold at auction. Pointing at the Monroney sticker to say the car was sold with a V8 is not relevant.
Why bring mass-insult style politics into this? The polls described large differences in likelihoods, not large differences in numbers. People were not ignoring the polls.
Sure, but that's different from a simpler spacecraft that simply does not have such automated systems, affecting crew training accordingly.

Having one that has sophisticated automation which you need to constantly monitor in case it tries to kill you due to a simple programming error is not really comparable I'm afraid.
I also had to implement a Tic Tac Toe "AI" when I was in college about a decade ago. Last year I was revisiting my college files backup and decided to upload it into GitHub:

Eddie Bauer, once, a long, long, long time ago, was an actual outdoor-gear supplier. At least that's what it began as in the 1920s. It was Bauer down parkas that the first American summitting Everest in 1963 wore.

By the 1980s the line was better suited to arduous treks across a muddy quad to the campus coffeehouse, though outerwear garments from that era may remain serviceable. Today any modest muscular development simply exceeds the tailoring tolerances of upper or lower-body garments.

The "brand" still trades, or tries to, off its century-old origin story. That is an absolute lie.

It doesn't matter if there's no warning when it hits 1%, it matters if the behavior of the device changes several years into the product's lifespan for the worse, and without any warning that it will change or has changed.

It's also a bit nefarious that the slowdown coincided with a new product launch, so side-by-side comparisons show that the new devices are much, much "faster" than the old ones (which were slowed down without any notification). It's borderline fraudulent.

Good thing we've got people like you standing up for the trillion dollar companies of the world, though. They really need your help.
I resent you implying that I take my loved ones for granted. Providing for them is the only reason I'm so concerned about the money I earn.

You can standardize things, if you are respectful of the concept that foods take on geographical characteristics and definitions. For example, the recipe for paella in Valencia, Spain is very specific. However, most of the world says “I want to make it however I like, I will call it Paella Valenciana anyways”. It’s right to customize and make your own versions, but it’s wrong to not acknowledge the fact that true specific definitions do exist in certain cultures and geographies.

Simple example, ever seen a Chicago style pizza? It would be impossible to create a standard “pizza” recipe that covers all pizzas ... but you can have a specific style with a name. Culturally, there are places in the world (for example France) that do treat food recipes this way. The US is too individualistic for this to be found “acceptable” culturally.

Game of go have been played since Spring and Autumn period (~500 BC), at the time, it's just called 'The Board Game'.

Unless I am woefully misinformed, Tesla is absolutely 100% not allowed to sell a lemon buyback as a new car. It's a used car, and on top of that it has to be disclosed as a lemon buyback.
That is great, but don't forget that organized dogmatic religions is where many of those lessons started. I'm happy that some of the core positive tenants of religions (that have historically fueled some of humanities worst atrocities) have migrated to being simply accepted as part of humanity and not always tied back to religion.
Because it’s always about change in income, not absolute numbers. I guarantee you someone who went from making $50k to $100k in a year will report being happier than a guy who made a steady $1m each year.

Not really. My intention was to clarify that's not what most people should think of as potential earnings. ~1 000 000 businesses in London - how many are big tech or finance? Even ftse 100 which are not big tech/finance don't pay as high as median. Others on that board: C# £65, python £60, php £60, erlang £80. In fact, the more I think about it the more I think there's something fishy about that site.

edit: ah, those stats are based on advertised salaries, not actual salaries after the bait and switch - so they're all inflated.

There is a Netflix series "The toys that made us" which chronicles the history of the toys and the TV shows. In some cases, the cartoon came first. In most, the toy came first followed by a manufactured cartoon to sell the idea to kids:

Maybe that would account for a part (I am also not at all an expert in California, so it is just speculation), but those cannot reasonably account for 40% of workers.

I mean, if you live in SF and have a yearly income of "only" 50-60,000 US$ working some 2000 hours at 25-30 $/hour, and you live in a house that you can rent for roughly the same amount or that you can sell for (say) a million, what actually keeps you there?

Maybe you can find somewhere else a similar job, paid in the 15-20 $/hour range, you lose 20,000 on the job but get an additional 40,000 from the rent or from interests on the capital.
The other good development with Thinkpads is the introduction of AMD processors in their mainstream offerings (T495, T495s, X395, etc.). Unfortunately their screens suck though.
I learned recently that rail (especially continuously welded rail) is generally kept under tension (I don't understand how it is secured at the end of the line, though). So when it heats up in the summer, it is simply under less tension.

Unless it heats up too much, and then it buckles and you get derailments.

I'm always fascinated by people who not only stick to the same basic, boring classics, but they've adopted "house rules" of some sort over the years that they INSIST on playing by, because "that's what they're used to." And then they know how to cheat using the house rules they've come up with, and all their creative efforts become focused entirely on cheating the dumb, inconsistent rules, rather than any actual sense of tactical strategy.

It's like, come on! If you used the same creativity for coming up with real game strategy that you use to trick the other humans in the room and skirt the rules, you'd be really, honestly, good at this game. But people are unwilling to put that kind of direct accountability on themselves, for fear of failure I suppose.

I think the human mind has difficulty understanding the scale of the problem. Carbon capture cannot work. A ton of coal releases way more than its weight in CO2 when combusted. Same (but a little better at the margin) for oil and Nat Gas.

https://www.bp.com/content/dam/bp/business-sites/en/global/c...

We are talking about GIGATONS a year of CO2 that needs to be captured and put somewhere. For every mountain top that is removed, we would have to figure out where to put three more mountains. Not going to happen.

I get the analogy. My point is most people buying used cars will not see used cars and used computers as analogous.

And the other point is, even if someone sells a car that supposedly has FDC and EAP enabled it would be foolish to pay for it. Because Tesla can "audit" and remove it on a whim.
Agreed. It may not have the slam-dunk legal authority that a monroney sticker on a new car would have, but it is still documentation that shows features and a VIN, and including it in the car is tantamount to claiming that the car has these specifications. It was foolish of Tesla to include it.
I agree with you that the poll is probably poorly measured. However, there seems to be a lot of confirmation bias going on in this thread - “This surprises me, therefore it must be wrong”. They’re not point to any more reliable evidence that suggests the poll is wrong, just giving anecdotal opinions.
Please. 75k is the package good people can get 1-2 years after moving to London, basically when leaving their first company -whatever job they could get really- to move to an actual company that doesn't screw them over.

It's true that there are startups that try to get away with hiring people out of school for peanuts, from all across Europe. They often have a turnover of half the staff leaving within a year and it's no coincidence.
Exactly. Of you hand craft an array you probably need it in that order.

I understand the topic is naturally political, but it would be nice to see discussions not super political bashing Trump vs Clinton and so on. A lot of the comments I see here are pretty subjective, anecdotal and emotional. I really don't like seeing this on Hacker News.

Note in the article it says:
"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Nine in 10 Americans are satisfied with the way things are going in their personal life, a new high in Gallup's four-decade trend. The latest figure bests the previous high of 88% recorded in 2003."

In 2003 there were a lot of issues too. 9/11 recently happened, some wars in the Middle East... So why not read the actual article? They try to go into details as to why people are feeling happier. E.g.

"Household income, political party affiliation and marital status are associated with the largest subgroup differences in Americans' satisfaction with their personal life
. Roughly 95% of Americans who live in high-income households, who identify as Republicans and who are married say they are satisfied with their personal life -- and about three in four among each of these groups are very satisfied.

Meanwhile, adults in low-income households are the least likely to say they are satisfied with their life, followed by Democrats and unmarried adults. Among each of these groups, small majorities report being very satisfied. Low-income Americans hold the distinction of having the lowest percentage very satisfied

It's likely no coincidence that Americans' heightened satisfaction with their personal life comes as confidence in the U.S. economy and their personal finances are also at long-term or record highs."

The article even talks about races and genders, which again is correlated with income. Being married too. So presumably this happiness is in large part due to the economic boom of late. The article even concludes with this. Comments here can say the question is ambiguous or people don't know how they feel themselves all they want, but the evidence, and just plain intuition, strongly suggests it has a lot to do with the economy. People reeeeaaaallllyy care about bread on the table for their family, not tweets from the president, or the "political climate", or Bad Thing X, or any of the other comments here.

I fully expect downvotes, but hey ho, that's emotional politics for you. What I've actually written should be pretty non-controversial honestly: TL,DR; "People care about family and bread on the table a lot".
So you want people to apply with what a v1 of the product should look like and a vision ? Why should people do that for free and what guarantees do they have you won’t Profit off the suggestions ?

IMO this is very shady.

I listened to the first clip expecting it to be much worse than it ended up being. I'm listening on HD280pros, the headphones I keep at work, although I use Sony MDR-7506s when I'm in front of my audio gear.

The noise floor sounded more to me like bad gain staging than it sounds like fans and room noise. And I honestly think that the majority of people who watch that video aren't going to notice. I think you're too close to the process. I would venture that almost no one else in this thread would watch that video and call that an all-caps HUGE amount of noise.

A long time ago, I was mixing down some rough recordings of my band, and as I was putting everything together, I kept hearing the squeak of my cheap kick pedal every time I hit the bass drum. It was incessant, and it didn't help that I typically played at upwards of 160bpm. I tried EQ, notch filtering, all kinds of things available to me back in 2002 to try and get rid of that squeak without destroying the other things coming through the room mic, and I just couldn't do it, so I had to leave it in. No one else in the band could hear what I was talking about.

On my way home, I put in a CD by the band Cake that I'd had for a couple of years at this point, and I had heard probably a hundred times before. And even though it had never stood out to me at all before, all of the sudden the only thing I could hear on this professionally recorded album was THE SQUEAK OF THE KICK PEDAL. It was absolutely maddening.

I went on an electronic music binge for a couple of months after that, just to cleanse my palette.
It’s not even true - they may be _less_ likely to be satisfied, for reasons tht you may find ridiculoous (but are not to them). I believe satisfaction comes mostly from within, not necessarily with what you have. It’s largely on you to observe either what you have - or what you don’t.
Because you like the tinkering and believe there should be (fringe) alternatives to mainstream OSes?
Think they were implying that the security and happiness are not guaranteed by money, sometimes it's the opposite. I don't think you made a charitable interpretation of their statements.

> "Satisfaction with personal life" will have very different implications for different people to the point of being useless.

Of course "satisfaction with personal life", like many things in survey, can have very different implications for different people. But it does not necessarily make it being useless.

You could ask more questions about people specific satisfactions with personal life, it does not make the general sense of satisfaction with personal life useless.

Wasn't it supposed to be conscious observation that collapses the wavefunction and not uncertainty?
I think there is a lot of counters you might want both.

For example, supposed you have a list of ids accessing some system, you may want to count the raw number, but then also have some transformations thereof that are still ordered by count.

Example

l = getListOfAccessIds()
counts = Counter(l)
total = np.sum(counts.values())
fractions = {k:v/total for k,v in counts.most_common()}

#use the fact new dictionary is still ordered by most common
plt.semilogy(fractions.values())
plt.plot(np.cumsum(fractions.values()))

#still works like dict
print(fractions[id_of_interest])
A lot of lithium batteries are making their way onto both sailboats and yachts. With significant advantages come equal disadvantages, and those disadvantages are the risk of potential battery fires, which only a Class D fire extinguisher can snuff out.

Is there a text version of this thing?

And it would be really nice if someone could do this for, say, Bangladesh, Yemen, or Guatemala where it's becoming life and death.
Interesting. Hard to reconcile with what the article says:

> The dealer bought the car on Nov 15

> Tesla removed AP on Nov 18 (according to the note in the invoice)

> Alec bought the car on Dec 20.

If that's all correct, the dealer had the car with FSD for only 3 days, and without FSD for over a month.
I went to this discussion thread and am gratified to find the phrase 'Paw Patrol' in the top comment. Although I don't think its anything new, tv shows as insidious toy commercials has been around since I was a kid.
There's also the indication that this is official, and not just an implementation quirk. I still used OrderedDict in 3.6 because there was no guarantee 3.7 (or later) wouldn't silently break ordering on the standard dict. At least now it's unlikely to change because it will be considered a breaking change.
Plus it would be reasonable to assume at least one of the many live watchers already did that...
> So they basically "accidentally" sold more then they wanted to and then went after the customer (which by now happened to have changed) and forcefully toke it away.

And who ostensibly paid for it. Tesla can state that it wasn't paid for (I disagree) - the buyer can say "I wouldn't have paid $x if it didn't have FSD, _per the manufacturer sticker_".

You cannot escape environmental factors. As you cook more and more, you will understand your kitchen and environment more, and learn by feel what "medium heat" is, and how it affects food, and why you might use it. These things are always guidelines, and intentionally vague.

The most famous example is how most baking recipes call for 2-5 cups of flour, since the humidity in the air, the season the flour was harvested, etc. all affect how much you might need in the end. So you just learn when you've added "enough". That might make the engineer in you upset, but that's the reality of it.

There are no precise steps to "brown an onion", but you will know when you've done it correctly. And if you did it wrong, that just means it takes more practice and more learning about your skills.
And like that debacle, maybe what's about to happen is Elon is realizing what an ongoing PR disaster this is going to be, with the number of used Teslas going up every day. Any moment, perhaps, he will tweet a policy change.
If your biggest weakness is a major problem, then hopefully it is also something you're urgently addressing. If you're unfortunate and have to apply for jobs while you're still working on that aspect of yourself, then you may need to find a way to sell it, but really for most people this shouldn't be something you need to agonize over for very long.

Of course everyone who asks this question is looking for how you reply, and don't necessarily believe you'll tell them the absolute truth.
While there seems to be a lot of comments suggesting that no-one uses the LA metro because it's too short and too inconvenient, ridership statistics suggest otherwise. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_rapid_tr... points out that LA is the 9th most used subway system in the US, with riders/mile of subway beating out both the Washington DC Metro and Chicago's L, which are the 2nd and 3rd most heavily used subway systems. So while most of the commenter's here do not find it useful, about 140,000 people per day do use it, despite it being only 17 miles long.
