Elon's superlative talent is as a salesperson and as an inspiring leader. Very few engineers would come even close. Elon has probably never done much hands on engineering work himself. Instead he has hundreds of very talented engineers working for him.

When a founder becomes a VC, his interests in the company he invests in are different than the founders interests. That difference in interest should be obvious but since they portray themselves as founders first, which they were before, instead as VC, which they are now, it confuses that distinction. Agree that it was written a bit too strongly as an attack since I don’t think VCs are malicious when they do that (most at least).

If you don’t believe that, then see other comments that describe how founders in almost all other places other than Bay Area (Boston, NYC) prefer bootstrapping you VC.

Though one way I’m not convinced by the article, in my view what keeps the tension low and manageable in the Bay Area is the amount of money and small number of major firms, which makes treating founders well a key long term strategy, otherwise they’d get less deals (supply vs demand) rather than the power law distributions of this “phase” of tech firms. This long term strategy hasn’t evolved in Boston, NYC, Atlanta, etc, so VCs don’t play up their former founder roles, and the tension between VC and startup is easier to see.

Anyway, it’s not a bad thing, I would question the deal making abilities of founders who don’t see it, and just recognizing these tensions and finding win-win ways to resolve them is a woefully unrecognized part of growing a business.
The problem is obscure preferences. Maybe 30% of the time there's someone in my world who shares them, and maybe 10% of the time we're friends. Having a community usually requires openness to activities that would not have been my first choice, or my tenth. I never used to make that trade. It's worth it, though.
The way we played tic-tac-toe as kids is with three pebbles, so like the Romans, but one can move a pebble only to an adjacent position. Unfortunately, there's a winning algorithm for whoever starts.
> If there's institutional pressure to ostracize former members of a community, that's problematic.

I’m not sure, in 2020, I agree. I’m sensitive to the issue. The penalty for apostasy in Islam is death. But I don’t begrudge all the Pakistani cab drivers who try to convert me. They believe they’re doing me a favor. (I’m never the one to bring it up obviously. It always arises awkwardly when I mention that I’m from Bangladesh and then they assume I’m Muslim.)

Leaving religion out of it — nobody has a right to be accepted by a community. In a free society people can leave, but can they really demand a particular sort of treatment?

Buddhist's have had similar ideas/thoughts. Buddhism is ~2.5k years old.
Time and date may not be predictable, but the simple math behind the modern monetary system of central banks is quite clear. Print or die. Inflation or recession. When the F.R.B. of the USA stops printing the market crashes. You can watch it happen if you are watching what they do. Since they are now wholly locked in a corner they only have the two options. Inflation or depression. Soon they will purchase stocks outright. We may not actually see a 2008 type scenario, but I'm not going to bet my house, car, and business on it. If we all saved and did not borrow, they could not print.
This is really good. I will plan to test it out tomorrow. You’ve solved some very real problems in an elegant way.
Facebook Vows to Improve Security After Hack of 29M Users
I have a separate network for my IoT stuff - this network can access the internet, but cannot initate connections to my main network[0]. My main network can initiate connections to the IoT network. The Hue bridge works fine, with the default app, in this setup.

My main control device is a VM running Home Assistant, so the underlying system (Hue and TRÅDFRI mainly) doesn't really matter much.

[0] Mostly. There's a port open for one device to do HTTP POSTs of data to one machine on the main network. MQTT is also open so that my ESP32/ESP8266 stuff can push data to the broker.

I'm working on an programmable version of something like this: https://qworp.com
I picked up the international edition on Amazon a while back for $20 or so, significantly less than what they’re asking for now. I don’t see that one on amazon today, but I’ve seen that edition on other sites. I’d look for it.

I haven’t finished the 3rd edition, but I made it about 3/4 of the way through the 2nd edition and loved it. I picked up the 3rd specifically for the x64 material.

I found FreeMind (a mind-mapping program) back before 2011, and have been using it as both a daily task tracking system as well as for project planning, and task mapping.

I have introduced many people to FreeMind, and the interesting thing is that the numbers have not changed over nearly 10 years:
- 50% hate it and cannot grok it
- 50% love it and have used it every day since

(link:http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page)

I suggest you use the 0.9.0 version as it has only crashed and destroyed a file once is nearly 10 years..
Possibly, but wouldn’t it be nice to be proven wrong in that case?

I agree that Hubei province is the epicenter so we would expect higher death rate. But don't know whether 9 times high is reasonable.

Also, the same reasoning would conclude that China's death count in SARS in definitely fake.
Look up the word "savings". It is possible to rent a cheap apartment, buy a used car, and wait until you can afford better things. Obviously some people are going to run into financial difficulties if they have unexpected extraordinary bills. The vast majority of things in life are however, expected. Nothing is new under the sun. The overwhelming debt of the world increases costs. Additionally, debt temporarily tricks most people into thinking they have more than they actually do. I think more people would be interested in working harder for better jobs or opportunities if it wasn't so easy to get whatever you want by signing a piece of paper.
Thanks! I was originally writing in Verilog but made the switch after coming across multidimensional packed arrays, which made the audio implementation easier.
Which is absolutely a good trade-off for a modern desktop system.

I contend the actual death rate should be :

Deaths / ( deaths + recoveries )

Everything else is “in progress”, without a defined conclusion.

That would be (based on today’s numbers):

813 / ( 813 + 2,669 )

Which equals 23% (truncated).

I believe this to be more indicative of the potential threat of the virus, especially in the early stages. Well, at least it puts an upper bound on it.
The WHO and CDC have been trying to send people for weeks, and China has been refusing. Only today did they finally agree to let a committee from the WHO come to the country.
Maybe its cultural. Until all the old people with the old baggage die the population's behaviour doesn't change. I'm in singapore and last night i went to a few supermarkets. Toilet paper, instant noodles, bread, thermometers..are some of the things that are sold out. Singapore has 40 cases and people are reacting like its the zombie apocalypse despite the government saying there will be no "lock down" and supplies will be sufficient..
As many here have pointed out. Singapore is a police state. This is where contact tracing is going to work if ever.
And singapore was the first country to deny entry to travellers from china, despite the economy's dependency on china.
I mean. Why toilet paper? It comes from Indonesia right?

Light rail in Houston increased the time spent in traffic since it was intended to bring people who can't afford cars or taxis into the central business district, it was built at ground level consuming right-of-way, and ended up noticably obstructing the flow of traffic that was there before. The rail was not built as any kind of a substitute for very many established automotive commuters at the time, and it still does not take many cars off the road.

When waiting at a traffic signal for the train to pass, you notice how many fewer people make it across the intersection on the train compared to how many do it in their cars before you get the green light yourself.
Both Mormons and Protestants get this passage wrong most of the time. I don’t know about Catholics.

Entry into the earthly Kingdom of God is based on the ancient suzerainty covenant, the covenant you as a citizen of a kingdom make with the ruler. You are accepted into the kingdom by swearing “faith” (eg fealty) to the suzerain. In return you are promised the protection of the suzerain; you receive the rights of a citizen in the kingdom.

The key insight here is that the meaning of the word “faith” has changed from “to have loyalty to” to “to have belief in”.

From the moment you swear fealty (“faith”) you are a full member of the kingdom. However, if you do not fulfill the obligations of a member of the kingdom (“works”) you can absolutely get yourself kicked back out.

So:

1) you are “saved” from the moment you enter the covenant, eg express loyalty to God; and you remain saved as long as you remain in the covenant.
2) works are not optional. They are the wages required to remain in the covenant.
But then you've only got it locally. The advantage to VCS is that you can trivially have it on multiple machines (desktop, laptop, android with termux). You can even do it between your own machines via ssh if you don't like "cloud" stuff.
This is usually the case with executives but not for him, at least from several first and second hand stories I've heard. Musk doesn't do much long hours in front of a CAD program type work but he is definitely very involved in the engineering process and not just in a hiring and sales capacity. He is not just doing the "stone soup" trick. (I have yet to see stone soup actually work. I think its bullshit.)

I personally don't find him that charismatic in the salesman sense, at least in his presentations. He may be different in person. I do think he has some marketing talent but I think most of it comes from his legend, and that legend has resulted from a history of shipping very impressive stuff. He does not strike me as having a lot of the type of charisma that would work minus his reputation factor. Keep in mind that he was very rich when he started SpaceX and took over the skeleton of Tesla, so he had the capital to prove himself before having to seriously raise and sell.

Thank you for the visualization! Your category line delimiters make so much sense. For years I've used folding headers in org or vimwiki but named by content vs project status or supporting sections.

Pretty much any four-letter .com domain (even gibberish) would sell for upwards of a million dollars these days, too. $1.7 million for a recognizable four-letter domain is if anything substantially lowballing it.
OK. I just used the Deaths / ( deaths + recoveries ) formula:

Hubei province: 780/2219 = 35.1%

Other provinces combined: 32/1256 = 2.5%

So Hubei has 14 times of death rate as other provinces combined.
It wouldn’t surprise me at all if this was a quid pro quo for Dell(VMware owner) to get the highest tier of Intel availability & discounts.
That's because most reputable sources don't have enough information to make a reasonable estimate of the case fatality rate. The JHU map only shows raw numbers.

If you're using deaths as a proportion of known outcomes, Hubei has come down to about 35%. Other provinces are reporting, at most, six deaths. I don't believe the numbers coming from China for one bit. Yes, Hubei is overwhelmed, but it really wouldn't take much to overwhelm most health care networks (in- or outside China).

Dutch wire service BNO News is reporting that a Japanese national who died in Wuhan was believed to be infected with the coronavirus but not included in the official coronavirus death count.

Personally I don’t think the benefit of smart devices outweighs the risk of not keeping them “VLANed, pi-holed, or even MITM’d with filtering”.

The facts are a bit unsettling as it is.
I have found that the secret (for me) is to manufacture some reason to read the code. Code is difficult to read from top to bottom unless it's done in a literate style. Instead, it is much more pleasurable if you are jumping around reading code because you want to understand something.

I find that editing the code makes a big difference. Find something to chage. Refactor something. Add a tiny (even meaningless) feature. This forces you to understand what the code is doing. That, in turn, forces you to explore the code and to read it. It also gives you a gauge to judge the code against. Why did they do it that way? What if I changed it? Oh, I see why the couldn't do it like that. Yes, their solution is quite nice. That kind of thing.

I very frequently refactor PRs at work and show my refactoring to nobody. Usually it's 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other. However, it gives me an idea about how flexible the code is. Or I might start to implement the next feature that's likely to touch that code. Not TDD. Just sketching some code and seeing how easy it is.

If you've never tried it, I highly recommend it.
To push that point further, we had it easy in 2008 because governments used QE to push more money into the economy and prop up banks, but what if they can't grab that free lunch next time?
It absolutely has infected children, as young as 36 hours old. There hasn't, however, been any reports of children dying.
You'd be giving money to the company if the shares actually came from them. If you're buying on an exchange ... you're exchanging cash for shares with the counterparty almost never ever the company itself. The company is not acting as a market maker on its own stock, for example. The only way the company would benefit is if the purchase increased the ask price so that at the end of the day the price per share was higher.

I've heard some conspiracy theories in my time, but that's surely one of the lamest.

This was a search for a child who may still have been alive, and a suspect still at large. The cops were begging for tip-offs. Why in the fuck would they waste days or even hours with a fake search in order to "cover" for anything? Yogi worked out in the open, and he had an audience. Civilians were involved in the search, and in fact the body was actually found by a group of students who were assisting. People were able to watch the dog repeatedly lose the scent, backtrack, and pick it back up, working his way up into the canyon. That would be one hell of a dirty, dishonest performance by Yogi's handler, who by the way is still active in the K9 community.

Nobody knows exactly how Yogi did it, but given that dogs are to known smell at parts-per-trillion levels, and that there are many ways the killer's scent could be transferred to his own car tires, I don't think it requires an excess of credulity to take the police at their word.

I was associated with a capacity planning user Computer Measurement Group (https://cmg.org), also UK CMG and CMG Australia from the early 1990's. CMG and UKCMG are still going strong. A group of CMGA members still meet socially every once in a while.

Once I had done my initial on-the-job training, these groups were an essential way to keep my skill levels up and keep in touch with a group of national and international highly specialised IT professionals who worked across mainfame, mid-range and now cloud environments.

Presenting at user conferences was a great way to share experiences and maintain a profile in the industry.

That doesn't make sense. When .corp fails to resolve now, .corp.com is also a deadend because O'Connor turned the domain off, so nothing should happen to any software by not trying to access .corp.com.

Surely a rule can be made in the resolver code that specifically in the case of .corp failing to resolve, short-circuit it there and do not failover to internet domains.
