Did I get this right? those prices seem completely insane -- why would anyone want to use this?

For 100 transactions/day on the main net, you pay 0.018 € for bandwith and 409 €/day (!) for CPU. Compare this to AWS DynamoDB (for example), where you'd pay less than $0.0002 for the same amount of transactions.

And storage is even worse -- for just 16 megabytes of transactional storage you pay 2700€/day (!!). This comes out to just over 5 million € per GB-month, compare with AWS prices of $0.25 per GB-month.

Why would anyone want to write DApps with prices like these?
Yes, I believe that's how it needs to be done but I'm worried that since this is imposed directly and is temporary people will not get past that.

Raising awareness that something is patented on a public forum isn't considered polite.

Knowledge of something being patented changes potential damages to punitive damages, making potential lawsuit costs 3x.

Hence, nearly all tech industries prevent discussion of patent specifics outside forums designed for patent discussion. Otherwise anyone who reads this page is increasing their liability 3x, which isn't what HN wants to inflict on its users.

Code Reviews and the Things That No One Talks About
To be honest, I don't think giving away information about your strategic edge matters that much. What does matter is the culture of a company. If you're hustling, you'll create extra new edges big and small all the time. If it's a big edge, the general outline will be good enough to tip off your competitor without you talking about it. As the saying goes, execution matters a lot more than ideas.

You can share your knowledge, which quickly turns you in a gathering point for interesting knowledge. This makes interesting stuff, good employees and new customers come to you begging for attention, which is a much bigger strategic edge.

See for example the story of Tom Wilson's videocard at Mike Abrash's https://www.phatcode.net/res/224/files/html/ch64/64-01.html - a minimal hint which turned out to be wrong was enough inspiration for a better product.

On the other hand, imagine Dan Luu's example company that takes a year to approve a blog post. If your culture is that bad, even discussing if accepting a mountain of money laying on the street no strings attached is acceptable will take a few months. Show them your edge, and assuming they see it as actually valuable instead of extra work, it will still take a year of bureacratics before they start implementing it.

If you don't already have a monitor at home it's because you don't want one. So it doesn't make sense to spend $500 for something you'll use in a temporary WFH situation, then lose money getting rid of it once WFH starts. Much better to just bring the work monitor home for the duration of WFH.

Incidentally I do already have a monitor at home, that costs more than $500. And I'm not using it for WFH, because I find my 15" work laptop sufficient.

Show HN: Built this cool 3D Scatter using plotly dash
Philosophers distinguish three senses of "is":

- Identity: "Clark Kent is Superman." Anything true of Superman is true of Clark Kent and vice versa, since these are two names for the same thing.
- Predication: "Superman's cape is red." Red is a quality of the cape. It's not reflexive because not all red things are capes.
- Existence: "There is no Superman." In English, existence sentences usually begin with "there is" or more poetically, you say "Superman is ~not~." Existence is not a relation.

I don't think that's a fair interpretation of the previous post. They weren't talking about rewriting every tool in your preferred language otherwise how far down the stack do you go (Terraform in Rust today, Linux in rust tomorrow, etc)?

Their point is software you actually develop in house. So that might be HCL code used by Terraform (in which case you might still need to use another tool or SDK in place of Terraform) but it wouldn't be Terraform itself (ie the Go code used to compile the Terraform executable).
Right, I meant the specific approach of making a cascade "outside the model" by programming it by hand, as in:

clf1 = FirstTierModel(...)
clf2 = SecondTierModel(...)
clf3 = ThirdTierModel(...)
# and then imagine downwards
pred1 = clf1.infer(data)
if pred1 == False:
return False
pred2 = clf2.infer(data)
if pred2 == Fase:
return False
# ... and so on

(did a bit of a python-y syntax)

Then I went on with how it can be embedded inside the architecture and that's a better approach.

Knowing someone in a Tesla authorized service partner I can confirm the practices are... not great. According to the agreement they signed to become an authorized partner and under the threat of withdrawing said authorization, they have quite a few limitations that make for longer wait times and more expensive repairs.

For example they are not allowed to order extra parts for stock (they have to "tie" them to a car in service) and they are not allowed to use aftermarket replacement parts even if compatible. I am specifically referring to car parts, not consumables. So break pads yes, break calipers no. Light bulb yes, headlight no. For example you will not find aftermarket headlights for Tesla that you can install in an authorized shop, get warranty, and ideally not discover that the car already logged the use of an AM part. In this case most (all?) aftermarket headlights begin their life as an OEM part that gets modified and this pretty much bypasses the restrictions, technical or administrative.

These restrictions may be lifted as Tesla becomes better at making cars and can dedicate resources to making more spare parts, and as they start to allow others to take a bite out of their profit by manufacturing compatible parts but we are not there yet.

I think the author has it right, Swift makes things easy, Rust is more challenging but better for high efficiency, embedded, etc.

I spent many evenings playing with Rust early last year, and more or less liked it, but I didn’t have a use case for really getting into it.

I have been switching prototyping between Swift and Common Lisp for a product idea I am exploring. I am used to effortless development with Lisp languages, and once I started hacking around with Swift, I found that it has few pain points and is generally a nice language. Two big advantages of Swift are the free Apple dev tools and TensorFlow for Swift keeps getting better. Additionally, Apples newest CoreML is really good.
> In the Netherlands Tesla sales dropped from ~12000 in December 2019 to ~36 in January 2020 because those 'incentives' where dropped in 2020.

October 2019 also had almost no deliveries due to no vessels delivering Tesla's to Europe (think they arrive in Zeebrugge Belgium). One car carrier has 4000+ cars on it. They're then delivered quickly after that.

The incentives is just part of this.

I fully expect the Supreme Court to rule as narrowly as they can on this case. As others have pointed out, to rule otherwise could potentially disrupt the entire software industry.

"Alternatively, the Supreme Court could hold that software interfaces are sometimes eligible for copyrights but that Google's copying falls under the fair use doctrine. This would save Google from writing Oracle a 10-figure check, but it could still drag the software industry into a legal quagmire."

> You have all the exact code, but running it yourself has no meaning because users and all their data will not migrate to your installation.

Free software licenses are mostly about your rights. You can host your own instance with your data. Stallman said on many occasions that it is not possible to exercise software freedom using a service hosted by someone else -- there is a fundamental clash between the freedoms of the users and the freedoms of the administrators. Both groups should be able to exercise their freedom, but unless the users are all administrators (of their own instances) there will always be a mismatch.

> Hundreds of millions of them continue to use the services, forcing you to do the same.

This is a fair point when it comes to social networks, because the AGPL doesn't require interoperability or the ability to federate (such terms would make little sense in a copyright license meant to be applied to all sorts of works). The real-world example would be the "fediverse" -- you could imagine a circumstance where all fediverse servers decide to block instances that don't implement $BadFeature. I would argue that in that nightmare scenario there really isn't a great solution even in theory. If you require interoperability, you've restricted the software freedoms of the other operators and now people can no longer block bad actors. But I would argue the AGPL does make the situation marginally better -- at least you could run your own (isolated) fediverse.

"being a junior engineer that works on isolated bits of work"

Most Junior engineers aren't working remotely. I've been working remotely for a decade with different companies and almost all of the developers on my teams have been mid-level to senior. The junior developers always struggled and had so many roadblocks, it made working remotely difficult.

It's really not that difficult to replace an in-person meeting with Webex voice call and/or screensharing. I go onsite once every 3 months for a couple of hours and it's all that's needed.

Our meetings regularly have 10+ people from different departments.
I'm not so sure that this was "preventable" in a meaningful way. We may well find out (and I suspect) that there was no obvious, sensible moment for radical containment measures to be enacted that wouldn't have been far worse than the outbreak.

Note that assumes that such containment measures would have been enacted many more times over the last decade, incurring inconveniences [which you can model as "life energy and time lost", even if few lives are lost from them] if the containment criteria were tight enough to stop the initial outbreak of a virus that has relatively high transmissibility, many infected who feel relatively mild symptoms, those symptoms mimic other common diseases, and a week or more incubation period before serious symptoms show up.
Of course you need both execution and ideas.

But let's say you have very good ideas but you're a mediocre executioner.

1. Could you find a very lucrative job/partnership mostly because of your ideas, and get quality help with the execution ? It's possible.

2. Ideas are easy to steal. Do you have a decent strategy to prevent that from happening ? Those sometimes exist.

3. Not every business sucseeds. Can you try repeatedly ? Maybe, depending on context.
Like most manufacturers, Tesla leaves the most frequent controls on/near the steering wheel as sticks, buttons & thumbwheels (volume/track/source, air-conditioning, autopilot/cruise control, blinkers/wipers/headlights, gear, and voice command).

The benefits of the touchscreen controls (nav, settings, media player) are that they suck much less than most manufacturers, and with over-the-air updates can suck even less over time.
