It's remarkable how simple it appears to build lots of cars, but its one of those things that is completely and utterly counter-intuitive.

Logic says - get all these parts together, assemble them and off a car comes out. Forget about engineering - assume all R&D work is done/frozen, the supply-chain complexity alone is staggering. 2000+ suppliers, with multiple redundancies. Keeping the assembly line moving without a hiccup is a compounding a chain of all problems - all probabilities of things going wrong at each station/module/step.

Another beast of an industry(which I am intimately familiar with) is semiconductor manufacturing. But, it actually appears to be hard unlike car manufacturing. Making 4 million chips a day, containing 2 billion transistors sounds hard af and it is.

Manufacturing is a very interesting field to get into (even as software engineers). Ever heard of this game - Factorio? You get to play that in real life (with some pain and big rewards). If you can master manufacturing, you're unbeatable because the entry point is so steep, learning curve is steeper and scaling up is nothing like spinning up Kubernetes clusters and instances (no offense meant).

The numbers out of Korea are nowhere near 20%. About 0.9% of cases are considered severe, according to the most recent statements from the KCDC:

Have you double checked the settings for lane keep assist on your Audi? I have a 2018 Q5, and you have the options between "early" correction and "late" correction. If it's set on "late" correction, then it seems to bounce between lanes as your described.

When it's set to "early" correction, it indefinitely stays centered (assuming it can see the lanes).

Toyota makes ~9 million cars every year.

Tesla just made its millionth car ever.

Toyota market cap 201B.

Tesla market cap 112B (was ~170B at peak).

The stock market still has very far to fall before it comes back to reality again.
Is it really 100% python? I can't find any indication of what they use besides the python helper library for Kafka. Seems like a message queue would be conducive to partial rewriting of the system.
Mozilla is a for profit entity with some history of selling out their users (Remember Pocket).

The Mozilla foundation is a non-profit.

The Mozilla Corporation is a for-profit entity with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue.
"Every other browser vendor is a for-profit entity, ..."

Not the one that authored the text-only browser I am typing this from.

Whether Mozilla turns a profit or not makes little difference in this instance. Mozilla does not survive on donations from users. Its employees are not volunteers working for free to defend user privacy. Its generously compensated executives and staff need money from the online ad business, just like employees from the other browser vendors. If Mozilla stopped taking money from Google or some other online ad business partner, then Mozilla employees would lose their jobs.

> How can you even say you're running Java if you don't have objects or dynamic allocation?

It's not any different from, say, JavaCard, which doesn't even have java.lang.String or garbage collection.

> And when you think about how a GPU works, it completely makes sense. A high level language for a GPU will not look like Java

It can still have Java syntax, which can also leverage existing IDEs and other libraries (eg. for unit testing).
I am familiar with the concept (still think it's insane though; I value my freedom of choice more than my well being). I came up with this idea because it records me expressly refusing consent to the doctors if they are not in network. If they still operate, and are not in network, I'll see them in court with video evidence of malpractice and mayhem. I'm sure in the US legal system this has a low probability of success, but hey, maybe I can crucify them on the news for it.

The article does say:

> Furthermore, by using discrete rectangular coils inset into the stator poles, the HET needs 30% less copper than a motor of similar size. The design also eliminates end windings – lengths of copper that lie outside the stator in a typical motor, generating wasted magnetic field and heat.

So it sounds like less heat is part of the secret sauce.
Freedom of speech is not the freedom from consequences. One has the right to be rude and the inextricable burden of being judged.

Intentional rudeness is an expression of emotion. Fundamental truths and well-reasoned arguments, despite the article’s claim, do not require emotional expression. Open source contributors are neither punching bags nor therapists.
Because then they would have to say the unsaid part which is "Masks work but we failed to adequately prepare so we need to ration them severely."

Every country that's managed to bend the R0 curve has had masks as an integral part of their strategy and that's only been possible because masks were made a deliberate part of their public health strategy for over a decade (mostly due to SARS). It's only one leg of the stool as Japan is finding out as one of the few mask-wearing countries that's not getting it under control but a stool with one leg missing is a pretty useless stool!

Western countries are paying the price for a decade of staring on and going "those kooky Asians with their strange mask wearing practices".
How would you modify these techniques to reach out to the press instead of selling B2B? I actually considered buying this course a week or two ago but I was not sure if i could apply it to non B2B scenarios
There is the Unicorn Project by Gene Kim that was just released earlier this year. I believe it is a sequel to the Phoenix Project.
Will Covid-19 affect its production rate going forward?

It is intriguing to see what these companies do to deal with disrupted supply chains!
The question sounded like a challenge, so how about Autopilot? Even for two wheelers. I think going forward the autonomous driving will be even stronger differentiator.
Yeah, monkfruit and erythritol seem like a good pair. I'd probably add a tad of stevia too, but that's me. I find those three work pretty well as long as you don't try to generate all of the sweetness from them. Using them 50:50 with sugar or dextrose seems like a good balance. I liked xylitol for a while, but the cooling sensation and the gut bacteria effects turned me off.
When something doesn't need to change, that's at least an established algorithm. Algorithms like sorting, partitioning, hashing, reduce, map, swap etc. are common and don't change. Mathematics like linear algebra don't change. They are fundamental elements of most nontrivial programs.
China's ability to mobilize as one as quickly as it did is no doubt a consequence of strong central control. The same centralization, though, is also to blame for its inadequate early response. Officials in Wuhan didn't have the authority to act on their own without Beijing's permission.

After this pandemic has died down, we should compare and contrast different countries' responses and try to appraise objectively just how much of a difference they made. China is trying really hard to make the case that their authoritarian approach is a model for the world, and it's too easy to be persuaded by that rhetoric when everyone is afraid and panicking. Meanwhile, some countries are trying just as hard to persuade their citizens that everything is okay when in fact it isn't. When all is said and done, we'll see how well that works, too.

Depending on how things go, I think South Korea could become either a model for the free world or a lesson in the shortfalls of democracy. They were doing pretty well until mid-February without imposing any travel bans or other measures that might be considered authoritarian, but then the number of cases exploded and everyone had to scramble. Instead of strong central control, most things were delegated to local governments. Different cities and provinces took different initiatives, quickly learning from each other when one of them came up with a new idea such as drive-thru testing. The shortage of hospital beds was met by large companies (hello, Samsung) and megachurches donating their own resorts and conference facilities for use as quarantine centers. Hundreds of doctors rushed to Daegu to help with the medical crisis there, and faced very little bureaucratic red tape in doing so.

The decentralized approach has its own inefficiencies, of course, especially in places with incompetent leaders or when dealing with a cult that refuses to cooperate. But when South Korea says that there were only 35 new cases last night, compared to hundreds a week ago, you can actually trust that it's a good-faith report because it's been cross-checked by so many independent players. The central government misreported the case count for my city a couple of times lately, and the city immediately issued corrections.

Ask HN: How would a recession affect venture-funded startups?
I'm curious to see what people think of how the current startup ecosystem will fare if there is a real recession.
Officially it is no longer an experiment.

Otherwise I agree. Blazor will never be what they imagine it will be. And why should the office team migrate to another tech stack. That is wasted money.
The funny thing is that the corona virus will do more to reduce pollution than tesla cars ever will. Currently, they just sell luxury vehicles that are much heavier than existing cars (where did all that mass come from?), require hours to refill, and have poor range. The one trick they have is that they can accelerate fast, once. What progressives never mention is that the number one cause of pollution is population size.

Elon Musk is another one of those progressive tech people that the rest of society has stopped caring about because they realized that we weren't progressing to anywhere good, and that technology doesn't solve anything. None of them are leaders to anyone other than a small group of naive 20 somethings.
If you haven't already, you might want to get checked for sleep apnea. Many of those symptoms, especially sleep paralysis are symptoms of sleep paralysis. And sleep apnea is also known to get worse with stress and anxiety.
After several failed attempts to start learning programming, I'm in a similar situation.

I want to be able to build useful stuff on the web, so that seems to point to learning Javascript: you can program the backend and frontend of your app in a single language. However, I did not like learning JS at all.

I've now started learning python (which I like more than JS), thinking I could probably use Flask or Django to build the things I want to build. But once it comes to building the frontend it seems I will inevitably fall back to having to learn at least some JS, which takes me back around to "why not just learn JS only".

The above is kinda rambling, but I guess I'm just looking for advice as well.
The Shanghai municipal government took special care of GF3. They resumed production one month ago on 10th Feb.

http://www.xinhuanet.com/2020-02/10/c_1125555728.htm

However I do think the supply chain will need more time to recover.

And consumer market wise it's quite uncertain. People are locked in doors with limited travelling needs, and oil prices are historically low.
I wrote 90% of a strict URI parser over a year ago, I know that RFC way better than I'd like to. I stopped at 90% after discovering the reason why my fuzzer was generating test failures: the ABNF is wrong. I believe it was around the query portion of URI segmentation, where two potential interpretations shared the same order of precedence and there was no rule on the order of execution. I'll finish that project one day... because I still don't know how scared I should be about that sort of ambiguity making it through more than one ABNF parser.
I spent some time searching for a JS shim that enables AVIF files to be used in the browser, is anyone aware of one?
I use to think like that because I was always thinking about software the same way as I think about buying things as a consumer. Basically thinking about products the way I buy them from Amazon. Or buying a car as you mentioned.

But the reality of software sales is different. There are people at companies that get paid to hear software vendors pitch their solutions. Those are decision-makers who need to execute a budget and improve processes. They are dependent on finding the right vendors.

It's way different when you think about that way. If you're a decision-maker and have the power to buy software (and it's part of your job) you want to hear from salespeople. It's part of your duties.

If you have a problem in your organization and someone comes offering software that somehow solves it and you have the budget to buy this kind of software it would be irresponsible of you to not hear what they have to offer.
Read it in a court document I am too lazy to look up - he separately had admin on the virtualization (VMSphere?) management plane and used it to rollback whatever server did access management for the system in question to a previous snapshot where he still had admin access to that system.
Something we can all do as individuals is stop going out to unnecessary things. I'm avoiding restaurants, bars, gyms and large groups.

I think the Citroen Ami is what you are looking for (Assuming western bias)
Legal where? It may be legal to sell it where it's hosted, but will they check that it's legal to deliver it to the destination? And the site in question has text on it promising to pack the goods in dog-proof bags and they also promise to refund customers whose orders are seized, indicating they know perfectly well they're breaking the law and are happy to help others do it too.
>> Is it more believable that this guy circumvented their security, wiped his hard drive, but forgot about the life-sentence inducing child porn on his other hard drives? Or that is was planted by people who didn't like him, needed a scapegoat, needed a conviction, and had an easy way to do it.

> Neither, because they're both contrived strawman scenarios

Except that the first scenario isn't a strawman, or even contrived: it's exactly what the CIA/FBI/prosecution is telling us to believe.

While the second scenario certainly smacks of "conspiracy theory", it's trivially doable by the agencies in question, who have motive to do so, and incredibly difficult for the defense to even allege, let alone gather evidence to support. I absolutely agree with and am sympathetic to the idea that this is just conspiracy theory nonsense, but... would anyone really be surprised if it were true? I certainly wouldn't be.
The elephant in the room (re: the pandemic response) is the privatized health care system. With costs so high, people will avoid treatment, and with few security nets, people will go to work sick. How exactly do you prevent a rapid spread in that situation?
This was one of the first problems I tackled as a developer. My naive approach was to calculate the values of the offers independently, pick the top one, and then continue to try to apply remaining offers. Obviously, it's not the optimal solution, but I thought it worked well for the problem, because people like thinking they got a really big discount, even if their total savings might be less.
She chose to.
It's being on a mature market vs being on a new, not yet well-developed market. The second has a much larger growth potential. That is, while Toyota is great, it's unlikely that your investment in it will return tenfold. With Tesla, the chances are much higher.

Also, Toyota started making cars in 1933 (licensed GM models), Tesla, in 2012 (an all-new class of cars).

Ah, so you're an internet psychologist. What do I owe you, five cents?

> I never suggested in any way that these diseases were similar.

Don't be obtuse. It's implied in your initial question.

> Why did you ask which question when you devoted a paragraph to answering it?

If you have a question you don't feel was answered, please clarify. Don't waste your time speculating about my possible narcissism.
Rust is such a delightful language.
You hit the nail on the head. In addition to the fashion industry, Italy is a favourite destination for Chinese tourists for sightseeing as well as buying luxury and said fashion goods.
Photogrammetry should be accurate enough for that purpose. Just make sure to include some reference object for scale.

A drone would probably be the best way to shoot the photos for this.
Even if that were true, he's still completely right, and this advice is still good! What really makes him different is that he consistently follows the common sense advice the rest of us nod along with and then ignore.
Seeing the same thing happen across different cultures over very different kinds of crises I came to the conclusion that this has to be a Freudian slip of the fact that people subconsciously care more about being able to keep their rear end tidy than eating.
Yeah, but if multiple Singaporeans who are spending just a few days in Indonesia are coming back with COVID, it's obviously not 19 cases. Indonesia is where Iran was just a few weeks ago.
critically speaking, we are still WAY WAY short of their promise. Yeah, downvote or whatever, truth is truth.

Also... please don't come at me with what they accomplished, it's well documented. Simply assess them on the promise on where we'd be today according to them. Not even close.

How would you keep your balance on a self driving motorcycle? You would always have to pay attention to the road.
That's one take, but I'm more excited by the cybertruck and what it means for larger electric vehicles. I could see all-electric camper vans or RVs being a thing that a certain group of people wouldn't mind paying a premium for.
"It might be a cytokine storm".
I think in the us something as simple as paid sick leave for all service workers could make a huge difference.
Better safety features, for one. Chinese cars, especially cost-effective ones, cut corners that would make them unsaleable in countries with higher, enforced, safety standards.
Thanks for the reinforcement. If I wasn't a surfer I might go for it but I won't let them take my sessions :-)
> The numbers out of Korea are nowhere near 20%. About 0.8% of cases are considered severe.

0.7% have died, and even that's gone up in the last few days as more cases progress. I don't know the specific stats of how many were severe/critical but it's probably much higher than the mortality rate. If you take a look at the age breakdown of the infected it seems they've been good about keeping it away from the elderly, <2000 out of 7000+ cases have been 60+ years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_outbreak_in_S...

I was around when software "engineers" were called "coders". They were then called "developers". To me "engineer" is a bit of an aggrandisement of what is for most of us more akin to plumbing that it is to bridge building; but alas the world is replete with this sort of thing.

Most of us have to work quite hard to maintain a fragile sense of self. E.g. "I" the engineer, who is valuable and has a body of "knowledge". "I" who am "accomplished", "intelligent", "useful". Title, seniority and to a great degree even salary are artefacts of what we the people want.

I think over time the person who truly wants for transparency, meritocracy and flat structure is rare because obviously most devs aren't in the top 25%. Meanwhile, ambiguity, hierarchy, politics and other status quo preservers are much more reliable for the average.

The ageing dev; his complexes, aspirations and insecurities would be a marvellous book for someone to write; if it doesn't already exist.
> Politicians have no understanding of exponential growth

To be fair, that is true of 95% of humanity.

These politicians are representative of their voters, as democracy should be.
I don't have hopes of that, I'm just waiting for the dust to eventually settle so we can just use it and stop waiting for it.

I'm not sure what brute-forcing means in this context. Do you mean hard-coding every way to order 10 unique elements?
It's a solution for some situations, but not the one userbinator was talking about.

The problem here is needing to trust the filter program. Moving code into a sandbox doesn't help, because you still need an app outside the sandbox to make it actually filter, and the problem is not being able to trust an app.
