Tesla is not a car company. They are a data company. They are far ahead than any other autonomous car company because every driver is contributing data.

Hence they will likely be the first to come out with a fully autonomous car. That’s all. I want to leave it at that.

WHO never reported a 24 day incubation period.

There was a paper that talked about 24 days but that was a single patient and the more likely scenario is that the person was wrong about the timing or got infected at a later time period.
I don't know, this is providing a visual feedback that an action was completed, which is much better than the previous material-favorite of expanding circles of slightly-darkened color. I know in my password manager app the button is so small and the animation so fast that by the time my finger is up off the copy password button I'm not sure if anything has happened (thankfully they recently added a toast to prevent this issue).

I agree, a great product. Pip install only works for all native python libraries, but that is a limitation of not having a C compiler to build extensions.

UK debit cards used to be either Switch/Maestro or Visa Delta/Visa Debit depending on who you banked with. The Switch/Maestro cards were then phased out around 10 years ago and replaced with either Visa Debit or Debit Mastercard. I used to travel frequently to Germany at the time so it was super annoying not to be able to use my card anywhere but a cash machine.

Visa Electron was in a different category with Switch Solo. I think they tended to be issued on accounts with no overdraft facility. (I had a Solo card as a teenager and it was only accepted at a handful of places.)

I remember being really annoyed when my
They don't have to be large purchases, just everyday routine stuff. For instance, going to work, somebody might get a bus and a train. That's two transactions per trip, four transactions per day, 20 transactions per week. 25 if they grab a coffee on the way to work. 30 if they buy lunch. You're looking at ~1,500 transactions per year just for one person with this routine, even if they don't use Apple Pay for anything else. There are about a billion active iPhones out there, it doesn't take a large proportion to start using Apple Pay more to account for a huge number of transactions.

As soon as a city rolls out NFC support for public transport, that's going to be an instant boost of millions of transactions per year, because anybody with a smartphone or smartwatch doesn't have to bother with the hassle of buying tickets or topping up a transit card any more, they just have to wave their watch at the reader. Compare a transit card, where people typically top it up for weeks at a time with a single cash or credit card transaction, to Apple Pay, where there's at least one transaction every single day you travel.

I'm used to living in places where NFC support in public transport is ubiquitous, and when I visited San Francisco recently, it felt like I was living in a time warp having to mess around with a Clipper card. BART has ~125 million trips per year. How many transactions per year do you think Apple Pay will be boosted by when BART finally supports it? And that's just one single location for one use case.
Alternately, when they said "worst flu season in modern times", they said it specifically to exclude the Spanish Flu.

Ohh my god this. My current project has this highly overengineered (with C++ and templates no less) event system that persists. Despite being one of the biggest complaints of our customers. We continue to think that the event system is "just one more" small tweak away from solving all of our problems.
A few years ago I would have agreed with you, but I've been very impressed with the subtly moving backgrounds on some Android phones (Samsung?), which attract little enough attention that it took me a few weeks to register it at all. I'm no longer convinced that movement is inherently distracting.

I agree that I can't see a really compelling functional usecase here, but aesthetics is a worthy goal in its own right. I'm cautious, and animation will almost certainly make icons worse before it makes them better, but I can see potential improvement, and I'll always err on the side of expanding toolsets.
Ghosting means that the employee goes to another job, because he prefers that, but doesn't tell the first one about it, in case he changes his mind. It's about not making a decision even after signing the contract.

I'm not an employer, but in my dating life I had a girlfriend who was 20 minutes late on her first date. After we got together, a few weeks later she told me that actually she was late because she put another date with another guy at exactly the same time as with me, just she didn't like him in real life.

I had much worse ghosting situations as well, when a girl didn't show up, and didn't even answer my texts/calls.

Be happy if you don't know the meaning of the word.

I'd be interested to know how you would handle a baby sitter (who was very nice before) not showing up and not returning your texts/calls when you have a child and you need to go to a business meeting or to theatre for example.

You might change your mind about the Apple Watch, especially with a data plan so you don’t have to carry your iPhone when going out and about.

Your wife will need AirPods to squeeze all the functionality out of her new Apple Watch; required for playing music, pod casts, audio books, and more pleasant phone conversations using the watch.

My wife and I have a ton of Apple gear and we agree that the Apple Watch is a game changing product. It is so convenient for a lot of supported things to not have to get your iPhone.

After reading the post I was exploring some of the other content on this site. Hillel (the author) does consulting work to help teams design better software systems using a tool called TLA+

I had never heard of TLA+ at all until this point. I am going to reserve my opinion on it seeing as I have about 10 minutes of experience with it -- but I am super curious if others here have anything they'd like to share on TLA+?
I haven't read each edition in order to make a comparison. However, it's probably worth mentioning that, unlike the 3rd edition, the solution manuals for both the 1st and 2nd editions can easily be found online with a quick search. If you intend to sit down and start solving problems then the 2nd edition might be better, since you'd be able to check your answers against the solution manual.

Edit: I actually hadn't looked, but it looks like all the solutions for the 3rd edition are also available online [0].

>But there is some evidence — and we’re working on quantifying it — that coronaviruses do transmit less efficiently in the warmer weather. So it’s possible that we will get some help from that, but I don’t think that will solve the problem, as evidenced by the fact that there’s transmission in Singapore, on the equator.

The temperature of a human body is 37ºC it's odd a virus would be incapacitated or slowed by "warmer" weather. I know to kill viruses a fever is what our bodies use along with the immune system. And I know this is referring to it outside a body but it seems odd. I would have expected warm, moist weather to make transmission easier like an incubator.
When I got to that line I thought to myself... wow imagine inventing breakpoints. Like, hey guys this debugging is a monumental pain in the ass what if we did this thing here. BOOM.

At least in the US plenty of schools in hot climates do not have A/C.

https://www.the74million.org/article/exclusive-too-hot-to-le...

Even those that do have A/C don't cancel class when it breaks.

https://www.floridatoday.com/story/news/education/2019/09/11...

The real takeaway from the 74 Million piece is that information about HVAC in American schools is difficult to come by. It would certainly be interesting to look at COVID-19 in schools vis-a-vis A/C, but good luck prying information from the school districts about either infections or air conditioning. Perhaps it would be easier in a tropical country like SG where A/C is more of a necessity than a luxury.
There's an article I read a few years ago talking about the possible outcomes from startup equity, using the analogy of a 99 sided die.

It's something like:

1-50: nothing

51-70: a little

70-90: what you would get from a FAANG

90-99: millionaire

100: you're a billionaire

And then goes on to note that there is no 100 on a 99 sided die, seems like options are similar :) I have no belief in my ability to beat the market and treat them like a fun thing to spend some money on, not like an investment.

I have used Tesla’s autopilot...it has its moments...I don’t think it can make decisions within 10 second windows before obstacles.

It’s also very dodgy at certain merges. I take it off autopilot.

On a slightly diff note: I wanted a demo of auto parallel parking and also reverse parallel parking and summon feature after the last update. I went to the Tesla showroom. They were super nice but refused to demonstrate due to liability issues. They stood aside and a little away ..gave me instructions. Worked like a charm and it was awesome...but didn’t inspire confidence.
Can anyone here point out an actual case where the NSA was able to break or legitimately hack someone's crypto? I was under the impression that their track record was basically nil on this, and that virtually every instance of them spying on encrypted info boiled down to some sort of inside job that actually resulted in the encryption being weakened or thwarted. People speak about these guys like they have off the charts abilities, yet the available evidence is not so indicative of that. Just looks like a big government operation kinda bumbling along to me.
And that is with US manufacturers operating under a court system that is much more friendly to potentially challenging those demands.
Quoth Wikipedia¹:

[The two new months of Ianuarius and Februarius] were first placed at the end of the year, but at some point came to be considered the first two months instead.

The January kalend, the start of the month of January, came to be celebrated as the new year at some point after it became the day for the inaugurating new consuls in 153 BC. Romans had long dated their years by these consulships, rather than sequentially, and making the kalends of January start the new year aligned this dating. Still, private and religious celebrations around the March new year continued for some time and there is no consensus on the question of the timing for 1 January's new status.

As a good Bayesian, I was considering a risk analysis as part of the complete consequences, but didn't make that clear, so thank you for clarifying that.

To carry this through using the argument of the study that finds a small correlation between vaccines and autism: if doctors lie about this, there's no guarantee the information about the study won't come out anyway, and then it will be known that they lied about them. That, more than the results themselves, would add real credibility to the conspiracy theory that doctors are covering up a connection between vaccines and autism. And worse, it would undermine the credibility of doctors with regards to other things, unrelated to vaccines.

The OP isn't considering the full consequences of undermining the credibility of the medical field to promote one political agenda, no matter how correct that political agenda is. In part, this is because the OP is assuming covering up this information would even work, and it very well might not.

At a more fundamental level, it would be important to release this information because science needs a mechanism for discovering when we're wrong or when things change. Right now, there's strong evidence for the null hypothesis: we can confidently say that vaccines do not cause autism. But if studies started finding a correlation between vaccines and autism, we'd want to know that. Maybe the diagnostic criteria for autism improves, maybe a new chemical is introduced to vaccines by a new manufacturing process, maybe a gene becomes more prevalent that interacts with existing vaccines; the possibilities are endless. Right now we should operate on the belief that vaccines don't cause autism, because that's what the information we have indicates, but if new information indicates something else, we should by all means update our beliefs and our actions.
Viruses don't survive at all in open air due to uv. They need some protection, usually in the form of a water droplet. If that evaporates sunlight will kill it.

The ideal strategy for an adversary is to not implement the backdoor while you have still front-door access and people are watching. Then you get 100% deniability. You wait to implement it until you think you're about to lose front-door access.
Well, Erdos is dead, so you'd have to be in a movie with one of the two people who have a EB number of 3, giving you an EB number of 5. Otherwise, if one of the people who have published a paper with Erdos were in a movie with Kevin Bacon, that would lower their number to two. Somebody born today couldn't do better than 5, and they'd have to move quickly. Kleitman is in his late 80s and Reznik is 66.
"then it turns out that the cost of all table saw injuries exceeds the total value of the table saw market?"

I don't understand this comparison. The benefit from people using table saws is not equal to the "total value of the table saw market". I mean, if it was, even if there were no accidents, we could improve society by just not bothering making them.

My mom started as a data entry operator, who then became an accountant who had to pickup COBOL and FORTRAN programming on punch-cards for a time as part of her job.

In the early days of computing, women were only allowed to operate computers that were designed and programmed almost exclusively by men. To be a female programmer in the early days was rare, and to be an African-American programmer in the times of segregation would seem to be that much more difficult. The film Hidden Figures (2016) seems like a pertinent fictional-recreation/parable lesson in these barriers that were more prevalent in the past, but it's important to be mindful that biases are a constant of human nature and never disappear.

From previous reporting on this incident in 2018:

> “The driver had received several visual and one audible hands-on warning earlier in the drive and the driver’s hands were not detected on the wheel for six seconds prior to the collision,” Tesla said. “The driver had about five seconds and 150 meters of unobstructed view of the concrete divider with the crushed crash attenuator, but the vehicle logs show that no action was taken.”

https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/03/30/tesla-autopilot-was-o...

Also, the safety barrier that would've reduced the force of the impact had not been replaced after a recent accident just days before.

> Earlier this week, Tesla said the divider was missing a safety barrier designed to reduce the impact of a crash. The automaker provided an image of the location taken a day before the collision that appeared to show the barrier had not been replaced following a recent crash.

> “Gay people shouldn’t have the same legal rights as straight people” is a moral position? Which commandment is that one?

I've been trying to explain how it's a moral position for some people, in response to this statement of yours. I'm not sure how to make that argument in a way that would be convincing to you, in large part because it's not convincing to me.

And I suppose we may be getting some wires crossed - for a lot of people in the world, there doesn't have to be a justification for a moral belief - or at least not one you would accept. "My religious authority told me" or "my parents told me" might not be as acceptable in the society we live in today, but they've all been extremely successful throughout history.
I've wanted this for a long time, and also a frequently-amended working-tree-as-a-commit.

Why? I prefer a each branch to have its own staging area and working tree, which maps better to my mental model of "branch as an under-development feature".

Currently my workflow to achieve this involves a lot of stashing.
> A branch is merely a pointer to the tip of a series of commits.

But this is not actually correct because a branch can often point to a commit that is not the tip.
It's the curse of SAE Level 3. The driver is responsible for monitoring a system that works fine 99% of the time, they start to feel a false sense of security and when it does fail they're not paying as much attention as they need to be.

This is also why SAE autonomy levels are a poor measure of a vehicle's capabilities, but that's another rant.
