Yeah, but look at their cash positions. I posted an analysis [1] based on their published financials in another thread; basically their revenue could go to zero and they'd be fine for a year and a half. With a more realistic 75% drop in revenues they'd be fine for about 5 years; with a 50% drop in revenues they'd still be profitable.

The rpi started me on electronics, rabbitholed into manufacturing of all kinds... material science, applied chemistry.

I end up looking at nature with both my old eyes and the cold scientific ones. A piece of wood, pale shades, smooth, is also a matrix of nanoscopic sugar fibers. It's odd to confront the two point of views. Same goes for butterfly wings, or flower petals..
And those conventions change over time. So you might write something using Java EJBs at some point and then the world moves on and engineers no longer know how those things work. What looked like a great architecture is now confusing for most engineers.
I really wish they'd tested inability to smell/taste as a symptom. I'd be interested to see if it leads other symptoms.
This is a civil suit, they only need to prove that it was more likely than not that Musk intended to defraud investors.

Given that Musk's salary is based on the value of the stock, and that Tesla needed the stock to increase in value to avoid financial triggers, there is already sufficient pro forma evidence to satisfy the intent prong.

Unlike in criminal court, the true burden will be on Tesla/Musk to show that they did not intended to defraud investors. Given Musk's history of making misrepresentations, this will be a difficult task and it is very likely they will settle out of court instead of take this to trial.

Fair point; even if the combinatorical nature of it is superficially alarming, that's probably not a productive area to worry about feature creep in.
I'm still using an iPhone 8. It's been great and I wasn't looking for a replacement yet. However, it's nice to know that I can get one in the same size. I don't want a big phone. I was reading through some of the threads and found some arguments about Android. I'm a poweruser myself. I was on Android for a long time. I've used both mid range and high end Androids. All of them have died after 2 years max after slowing down terribly. Finally switched to the iPhone 8, two years ago and couldn't have been happier. I still have an old iPhone 5s that works like a charm.
This is super cool, but the fact that it only prints uppercase characters would be a nightmare if a standard case-sensitive filesystem is used.
Right but this isn't that. This is the new iPhone 6/7/8 upgrade in the same chassis (more or less).

This is not a new compact iPhone like the 4/4s/5/5S.
Amazon seems to have no clue what they’re selling a lot of the time (they are often criticised for selling counterfeit or inferior products).

I doubt they could comply with significantly upping their product control.
Not to be confused with the API framework for Python.

The list probably goes on.

It's bad naming.
The difference is more when it comes to precedence, which allows judges in Anglo-Saxon countries essentially to create law.

Judges in France still need to interpret laws according to what they intended to do. There's then a majority and minority opinion(s) on how that law is intepreted, and these things are set by discourse and precedence, with judges being free to decide.

In practice the difference is not so large.

People don't seem to understand that the current share price of Tesla is largely irrelevant to this case. What matters is the harm to the shareholders (or former shareholders) at the time the 420 tweet was still relevant (i.e., back in summer 2018).
Male leaders have been acting like complete bastards since time immemorial. I'd say we have a very, very small sample size of female leaders to judge from, so why not promote some ladies to give it a try? They can't be worse than the men.

As to age, off the top of my head, I'd say that how much time they have already spent within the system would keep them from thinking about fundamental change. I'd cite Merkel having been a PhD Chemist in her previous life for her success by giving her an analytical approach instead of a purely political approach.

And let's not also discount that women the world over are oft treated very badly by their society's patriarchy. Oppressed people can be some of the best leaders because of their vehement opposition to brutalities of every kind. Think Nelson Mandela.

Really what we need, regardless, are true public servants and not someone beholden to just one team. I don't care what gender they are or identify with or that of their BFF(s). They just need to have integrity and care and concern for our most vulnerable residents.

Perhaps women are better suited to such service; perhaps not. All I know is that at this point I'm willing to give it a try, especially with such brilliantly impressive thinkers such as AOC.

I was sad that Elizabeth Warren was eliminated from contention. She was -- by far -- the most intelligent and competant candidate, imo.
No. This study found no evidence of effectiveness as a treatment for COVID-19 in patients who need it.

A sample size of 20 is sufficient to satisfy a .05 statistical significance threshold that hydrochloroquine had even the slightest positive effect. In this population, it did not.

All therapeutic drugs are developed using in vitro and pre-clinical (non human animal) treatment groups no bigger than 20. When a well controlled and randomized study comparng two groups that are each four times larger than 20, we have a VERY strong indication that this drug delivers not only too little effect to be a useful treatment for COVID-19, but it very likely delivered absolutely NO EFFECT AT ALL in hospitalized patients. Don't expect any reputable physician or scientist to dismiss this evidence.

This is very bad news for the prospect for treating patients who need it using this drug -- those people who are likeliest to die or endure lasting harm. The other 80% of positive patients don't need any therapy except time.
No, De Blasio wanted to issue a shelter in place order on March 17 and Cuomo said absolutely not. Then eventually Cuomo comes around and they start a shelter in place on March 22nd.

I think we can all agree that the shutdown happened because of a genuine concern for what the new unknown virus could do. The last coronaviruses SARS and MERS could wipe 10-20% of the population, so that the baseline to prepare for.

Now we know the virus is not quite as deadly as anticipated (around 2%). And we know the economic impact is disastrous (+15% unemployment in the US after 3 weeks). So the strategy will have to be re-evaluated eventually.

My opinion is that politicians taking the decisions are too remote from people experiencing economic hardship, so they will let the economy get much much worse for way too long.
Can you share the passthrough setup?
Shareholder class-action judgements do take money from the company, and give it to both the shareholders, and their lawyers. The problem is that from the point of view of a long-term shareholder, it is taking money from one pocket, and putting it in the other (after compensating the lawyers for their trouble). Short-sellers will almost certainly not be in a class of shareholders, as they only hold the stock for a very brief period before selling it, and then only for a brief period before returning it to their counter-party; if they hold it longer, they are not short-sellers.

Among the shareholder class, there are a few different categories, each wins or loses a different amount due to the class-action:

1) Those who owned the stock at the time of the misrepresentation and continued to own it until the judgement/settlement. These people lose their portion of the lawyers' fees

2) Those who owned the stock at the time of the misrepresentation and sold it before the lawsuit ended. These people benefit from the judgement/settlement amount, minus lawyers' fees.

3) Those who did not own the stock a the time of the misrepresentation, but bought it before the end of the lawsuit. These people lose however much group 2 gained, in addition to some legal costs.

Out of the three groups, 1 and 2 are part of the class, but only 2 benefits from a successful complaint.
That's true, and weird unorthodox architectures can actually end up being more stable in the long run, especially if their design was an intrinsic fit for the domain. A weird architecture that is a good fit for its domain often has simple ways of meeting key requirements that would have been more costly to develop with more conventional techniques. I'm just hallucinating this from your comment upthread, but a requirement like "making sure audit logs are kept" is the sort of thing I mean. Any architecture can do that, but some make it much easier. When a business starts out with a weird architecture in its early days and ends up succeeding, it's possible that that weirdness gave some competitive advantage.
As long as you have the necessary tooling for source control, versioning, code search, etc. -- why is it the pits?

I mean, if you stick to a rigorous procedure of automatically exporting your stored procedures to files and committing them to git with messages... how is that different from any other development?

Serious question -- I've done tons of database work but only a little bit with stored procedures, so wondering if I'm missing a crucial detail here.

Yeah, 6'4" is probably the sweet spot. I'm a bit short of glory there, but I'm not complaining.

Fetishizing height might be more of an issue at your lofty stature, along with the thin air and whatnot. It's not what I'm talking about. Height is like facial symmetry, there aren't any downsides (talking about 90-98% here) and it just means more occasions when your crush crushes back. At the margins, this is a plus.

Everyone makes up for their deficits by playing to their strengths. It's important to acknowledge which is which.

Worth noting that sexual attraction isn't the only place this comes up, there's robust evidence that everyone, male, female, and otherwise, considers taller men to be more trustworthy(!), better leaders, and the list goes on. It's deeply unfair of course, but it is what it is.

Chinese ask me why in the world did Americans threw themselves on Saudis when they attacked them.

Chinese don't understand that. They cannot comprehend it at all. It breaks their mind. Chinese there think there must be some completely bizarre, terrible secret that is the reason for that.

I give them one popular explanation:

Imagine, some serious guy in the suit comes to completely shocked people after 9.11 and tells there is a "completely bizarre, terrible secret" behind this mess, and "this is why you trust me on this, and we must go help Saudis with Saddam."

Then years pass, US is in its 10th year of Iraq war. Everybody has since forgot Saudis, and can't care more why this has started when they have to finish this war at all costs. The guy serious guy in the suit keeps shouting "This is all Saddam who did all this! I have a proof, but is a state secret, just trust me!"

Imagine now somebody coming out and telling everybody: "there was no terrible secret" to begin with, and you had no reason to listen to that serious guy in the suit for all that 19 years long war.

Yes, I understand, though my question was more whether subs actually have the ability to issue an audible ping like in that movie -- and why they would ever do it.
Turing Award winner Robert Floyd also had FTD (the variant earlier called Pick's Disease). He died of it.
Actually, I CAN make that claim based upon the data in the article. The relative risk [RR] of developing ARDS on HCQ vs. in the control group was 1.14, with 95% confidence interval of 0.65 - 2.00. That means that 95% of the time, the relative risk will fall between those two guardrails. If we take the single-sided probability, then the relative risk will be less 0.65 2.5% of the time. "Reducing the onset by half" means a relative risk of 0.5, which is less than the lower 95% confidence interval bound.
I think they've indicated that the plan is to make NPM the ultimate public JS package registry and move paid plans to GitHub Packages.

See Nat's original words about the acquisition: https://github.blog/2020-03-16-npm-is-joining-github/

GitHub Teams get 2GB of free private package storage (unlimated for public packages) https://github.com/features/packages

He did mention that they were using their enterprise customers to subsidize the cost to allow them to offer Teams for free, so maybe if they get enough enterprise customers using GitHub Packages we might see unlimited free private packages for individuals/teams. I don't see a ton of value for GitHub/MS in that situation, but maybe.
Part of that is of course what you're used to, but a lot of Android phone makers put their UI and crapware over Android. I don't know why they put extra effort into making their phones worse. I tend to look for the purest Android I can find.

Cutting out the middleman (grocery stores) won't remove the hub and spoke architecture.

Particularly when it comes to staple commodities like flour, salt, sugar, etc -- grocery stores by and large buy these items from the same small number of distributors. Grocery and food distribution in general have been consolidating aggressively over the last decade or so.

More can definitely be done on this front with regional produce or prepared/processed foods though.

An old family friend was a brilliant engineer. He then had a stroke and recovered (early 50s), but within a few months started acting strange. He started making really inappropriate statements, and generally acting weird, started buying commemorative coins and not paying his bills. Then he started talking gibberish and couldn't understand people. His motor functions eventually deteriorated and he passed away a few weeks ago. Absolutely horrifying. By the time we all figured it out, it was a couple of years in.
You actually seem to believe both Google and Facebook depend on mere ads to exist. Amazing how many people still have this notion. According to this Google and Facebook will cease to exist in 2-1.5 years. Keep on dreaming.
>I think that restaurants being allowed to sell groceries would've been cool.

At least 2 restaraunts in my town do this. Order online, drive around beck (sometimes with a line of cars, but never more than a 5 minute wait), and they drop your food/tp/etc in the trunk. Much better than hitting up Safeway or Costco, and not really much more expensive.

Amazon doesn't do anything wrong here. If it can't improve in a month, surely it can't improve in 24 hours.
In this case basically all of those things are wrong.

Up until now (and possibly still now), the fate of Tesla has been in their ability to raise capital to develop technology and build factories. They raise capital by selling shares or borrowing money using their ability to issue shares as collateral, so a high share price is a prerequisite to their ability to raise enough capital and therefore exist as a company. Meanwhile the charismatic CEO has been a major contributor to increasing the share price.

Without the charismatic CEO they don't have a high share price, without a high share price they don't have capital, without capital they don't exist. At some point they'll be past that dynamic, but they weren't always, and maybe they're still not.

And it's an open question whether the existing auto industry would pick up the ball on electric vehicles if Tesla ceased to exist. It's not hard to argue that they're only doing it now because Tesla is forcing them to -- they could have started 30 years ago and they didn't -- and they don't seem particularly enthusiastic about it even now. They also have a lot of incentives to avoid it, because it requires investing a lot of money in new R&D and retooling factories, and then giving up very lucrative service charges since electric drivetrains are much simpler and require less maintenance. And if Tesla imploded it would be easy for anyone inclined to succumb to those incentives to point to it as an indication that electric cars weren't a good market to be in, as a justification for not entering it.

So right now the world kind of needs Tesla to succeed, at least until they've forced most of the incumbents to release competitive electric vehicles, which they haven't actually done yet.
Sigh - I hear you.

Obviously $1mil per infraction is a bit lopsided when the definition of which products are infracting is not clearly spelled out. Likewise, coordinating a review and implementing all measures in a 24h period is obviously not feasible when that hasn't happened over the last month(s).

This was phrased as a threat in the article title, but I don't see how Amazon had any choice until implementation of measures is either done or they have an answer to a court appeal. Likewise, there could be a case to be made that measures should already be implemented, but there is no documentation in the article over what progress there has already happened. Per this court order and event, I again don't see another response by them.

My understanding per the article is that this is not about applying a uniform set of safety standards, so there is no legal template we as outsiders can use - say, the safety standards implemented by their French competitors - to judge whether this order is or is not "fair". I also don't think it is my place to judge. Instead, Amazon has the right to determine whether or not they provide service within a country under that country's laws, and to raise awareness if _they_ feel the judicial system is giving illegal preferential treatment disguised in the context of crisis response. I don't see that as happening here either, though - at least not yet.

I had this feeling for many years then finally put together 6 months of effort on an MVP that got zero traction. That great idea? Not so great in reality, I’d been kidding myself. So if it’s any consolation, great idea and great executions are really rare. The common advice is to build a landing page and get x number of signups for a beta before writing a line of code. Makes sense in retrospect.
