And keep in mind that the State added a "Psychopath CEO wants to endanger workers to pump the stock price" clause after Musk's refusal to comply back in March when he tried to claim this same argument:

> Nothing in this Order shall be construed to limit the existing authority of local health officers to establish and implement public health measures within their respective jurisdictions that are more restrictive than, or that otherwise exist in addition to, the public health measures imposed on a statewide basis pursuant to the statewide directives of the State Public Health Officer.

There is literally no problem other than Musk is clearly lying about Tesla's liquidity and is desperate enough that he needs to produce cars this week. I mean he claims there was $8 BB in cash but is getting loans from China and refusing to pay rents. Something doesn't add up.

I'm super curious how this unfolds, especially if he thinks California is up and is now opening a factory in Germany. The meltdown's we'll get from his efforts in Germany are going to be just pure insanity.
A lot of the "Elon hate" is dull, generic, and irritating to read, from my point of view. It's clear he's accomplished a lot, regardless of what happens in the future. I don't think it would be too grandiose to say he's substantially changed the course of history with Tesla and SpaceX.

However, I would experience a great deal of schadenfreude at his downfall at this point, because he's become one of those larger-than-life people who think they are entitled to destroy anyone who gets in his way. It could be that the local official that he's fighting with has some faults, has made some mistakes. But she represents functioning civil society to me and he represents all the powerful people that are heedlessly trying to destroy it.
I suppose, like what is happening with Kubernetes.

Depression and anxiety - due to always failing, missing deadlines, disappointing people, anxiety comes anytime one even thinks of doing something.
So glad to see you in this thread; thanks for sharing! I've considered mailing you about Spring & Sun before (among other things: Blekko is also fascinating given how impressive it was, how much talent it had behind it, and then how it just sort of got subsumed/murdered into/by IBM); it's such an interesting project! You wouldn't happen to have a copy or know anyone who might have one, would you?
The Bandwidth Alliance was meant to solve this problem. Azure and GCP have joined, AWS has not. https://www.cloudflare.com/bandwidth-alliance/
You would be atypical if you were less productive by normal standards. Most studies I have seen on the topic usually show a marked increase in worker productivity in working from home. There is a bit of a confounding variable, however... Homes are not open floor plan for the most part. And we know from over 1,000 studies that open floor plan offices massacre productivity to a huge degree. So it might just be the benefit of not having all of the kneecapping and hamstringing taken away that is usually inflicted by business on their workers through open floor plans.
Either way, Musk can report no deaths.

I don't believe so. I had no trouble finding mine on the lot late last year, and there were plenty to choose from. It is possible the Y is momentarily sold out, but the other models should [or would be] easily available.

Note you can use this on Zygote to preallocate stuff: https://github.com/oxinabox/AutoPreallocation.jl . It doesn't support GPUs yet, mainly because the dev on it needs a GPU CI setup, but it should mostly just work (issue https://github.com/oxinabox/AutoPreallocation.jl/issues/10)
For cases where you need to change the behaviour of the function, you get more maintainability and better results by doing it in a way that's visible in the code. For profiling, you get more maintainability and better results by using something less powerful than full AOP (e.g. stack sampling or tracing). There is certainly no case on the JVM where AOP leaves you better off than not having AOP, and I'd be surprised if there were such a case anywhere else.

A guy who consistently founds or joins successful companies is not someone I would call “who happen occasionally to win big”. He founded Zip2 that was acquired by AltaVista, he joined PayPal that was acquired by eBay, he joined Tesla, he founded SpaceX. His record is stellar.

Of course it is understandable that Berkshire Hathaway wouldn’t hire anyone like Musk. They are as far from tech and VC as any investor could ever be. I admire Buffet and Munger, but the guys are 90 years old, I honestly couldn’t care less what they think about IT industry.
Google already did. They offer significant costs savings over AWS. Google also allows unlimited egress to other Google services.
This is the best answer in this thread. By far.

Until you’ve internalised the contents of the linked article, you should refrain from investing any money. In anything.
That is cool but I think what the OP meant by analog DOOM was actual analog circuits driving a TV PAL/NTSC signal or oscilloscope output.
After consulting with GNU sort manual:
sort has -m option just for the case of merging presorted files, so you can test this by using 'split -l', then 'xargs sort' (to parallelize), then 'sort -m' to merge chunks
Sure doesn’t look like it. A shame.
One factor could be while of course they are peered it might be paid peering or if they allowed the traffic unmetered it would upset other free peering arrangements due to subsequent asymmetrical transfer rates.
> left libertarians and socialist anarchists

What gives you the impression that these are different groups that "could be allies" but "can't stand talking to each other"? Every resource I can find seems to say that social anarchism is a subset of left libertarianism.

> Not sure what you mean.

Over the last decade there was often a major problem in GPU supply. Huge users like Amazon were presumably buying in bulk direct from manufacturers as custom runs so weren’t trying to buy them on the open market like everyone else.

Even other clouds had major problems getting them at some points.
+1 for the request, though I am skeptical you can find good ones. I am subscribed to PMHQ blog. I mostly find it to be corporate people writing great things about their own products. Nothing mostly which talks of rubber meets road kind of stuff. I would gladly read two kinds of product blogs

2) Things which explain a startups decisions step by step. Eg: Why did Uber choose marketplace model instead of a fleet, how did zapier decide to pick a specific niche while starting off, etc
"[...]disconnected from any actual cost basis[...]"

Not everything is priced based on the cost of it's inputs. In this case it seems to be what the market will bear.
If Torvalds can do it...
Correct me if I'm wrong but there's many reasons:

- It's an unregulated market, so there's nothing preventing wealthy actors from buying up tonnes and artificially increasing the price, e.g: "pump n dump".

- It's inherently speculative and has no real use besides investing and unregulated money exchange.

- It's a global market, people from all over the world have access to the market with little overhead, making it volatile.
There was plenty of good graphical design on the web in the 90s. There was also a lot of bad graphical design which usually gets highlighted today.

There was an underlying issue that web design was difficult before browsers supported CSS 2.1 well. You really couldn't get HTML elements to fit a graphical design reliably. CSS 1 didn't really have the ability and table layouts were pretty coarse. Using raster graphics was pretty much the only way to get fancy designs to look right across browsers.
Python decorators are a (limited) form of AOP: they let you transform functions in-place to implement cross-cutting concerns. Aspectlib allows you to do a more intrusive form of AOP.
As some who occasionally has to gather small groups (~5 people) --we all work remotely (pre-covid too), so one can't just swing around the corner-- I would be quite bothered to find my colleagues booked every last minute of their time, such that it would become impossible to schedule 30 minutes sometime in the next 2 weeks. Especially knowing that this was used, I would then have to ping everyone and see if they actually are free at such-and-such a time. I suppose that's the tool's intent.

Everyone should block off 1-2 hours a day for themselves. Consistently blocking your entire day could slow down the organization, if meetings are a place for reaching consensus and decision-making.

The Chinese outbreak was much less controlled when they allowed the China factory to reopen.
Granted, this one is tougher, but not that much tougher than a bad strain of influenza.

Again, I'm not saying we shouldn't be doing anything. The catastrophe movie, Hollywood-like global mass hysteria was totally over the top and unwarranted, though.

We have ways to deal with epidemics that don't involve completely changing the rules, talking about "being at war" and so on.
Alongside the PLANdemic and forced vaccinations, man you can't make this up.

Well, then you need to tell me your age, to know whether I should care about what you have written above.
Alternatively, some regions are cheaper to add capacity to than others (either cap-ex and/or op-ex), so extra capacity gets steered there.
Taking this quote out of context is impressively dishonest. It would be incredibly inaccurate to describe Elon's history of winning big as "occasional", and for that same reason it would be incredibly surprising if Charlie Munger described Elon's career this way with no qualifiers.

Not surprisingly, he didn't. This quote is the end of a much more nuanced statement to conclude the point that he generally prefers to invest in operators who take less risk.

Regardless of your opinion on Elon, this sort of manipulation of reality damages the discourse. It's not helping anyone.
It looks like you got downvoted. There is a certain group of people that if they catch you outside without a mask or if you say publicly people should return to work, they'll post pictures of you on reddit and advocate for your murder, but as soon as Elon Musk says people should return to work they will immediately defend him because they think he is a God that is faultless.

Your reply is a really good one because I totally got this impression from the other replies here! So Godot isn't fundamentally incompatible with consoles, it's just the open source part of it that is.
Strong claims need better evidence. The evidence is shaky, and obviously backed by political interests.
Bold move to extort public officials with threats to move a factory you're attempting to fully automate and a few hundred white collar positions to a state where your main bargaining chip is jobs when you possess less than 5% market share, a vertical monopoly and a luxury product in a crashing market. Excited to see how this one turns out.
The fact remains that there are more women studying engineering (not just CS) in less egalitarian third world countries than in progressive western countries, despite the latter having campaigns, funding, etc.

The idea that male and female primates (including humans) have different ways to look at the world seems very sensible to me, and that would explain why "women care more about people" and "men care more about things".
Suing the county, really? There's hundreds of thousands, probably millions of businesses that have been shuttered by COVID-19, and yet, of course, who should it be but the constant media circus that is Tesla--whose hit is miniscule compared to the restaurants, hotels and other businesses that actually can't earn revenue--that decides to publicly take it to the courts.

I truly hate to say this, but it really smacks of a solipsistic kind of attitude: that Tesla's problems matter more than other companies', and that anything that gets in its way, whether pandemics, short-sellers or lawmakers, are just an irritant.
Did you try sublime? Also try running bootcamp because my personal conspiracy theory is Apple only optimizes their releases for the latest hardware
Ask HN: Why don't browsers have billing+shipping APIs? This would kill Amazon
Every time you do a purchase online, you need to send the site two pieces of information

- billing information (credit card information)

- a shipping address.

You could go through the site like you normally do, create a shopping cart, then on checkout, the sites sends the user to an XML/JSON page saying basically:

"The user wants to buy this, can we have his billing information?"

At that point the user confirms the shopping cart locally, the the browser sends the billing information to the site.

This is done right now with credit cards but not with addresses.

If Mozilla or Chrome did this it would REALLY hurt Amazon but also really ENABLE smaller merchant sites.

IT would also make buying things from 3rd parties super easy.

One of the nice things of buying from Amazon is the one click shopping which doesn't exist anywhere else really.
this. the only way I can make profit with my web service is by using a third party low budget CDN as a caching layer. Even with that, S3 data transfer remains my biggest cost.
if I could spare the time, I'd make a custom caching layer so that S3 is never hit at all except for upload, and is used only for disaster recovery.
I’d like to know what Tesla factory workers think. It’s seeming clear to me from various polls that at most 20% of Americans think ‘oh everything is fine let’s go back to work and school tomorrow.’ So opinions on social distancing are not as polarized as you would think from the media.

Many elements were owed to CRT displays and larger pixel sizes, so rather domain specific. E.g., the mandatory drop shadow typography wasn't to be seen in print. On the other hand, I wouldn't like to witness modern screen design on a CRT. Moreover, the 1990s came just after a massive retro design trend in the 1980s and there were still some informal reference to 1950s design around, countered by a rather blocky "who cares" trend (probably rooting in free-style/low-end design as featured by April Greiman in screen design and new electronic trends in print as by Emigre Graphics), even featuring illegibility. At the same time any custom elements had to match the few "probably installed" type faces (Times/Times New Roman, Helvetica/Arial, Verdana, Courier/Courier New, maybe Symbol). Moreover, fonts rendered in sizes relative to OS presets, most probably what was 12px on a Mac rendered like 14px on Windows (which is huge on a CRT in 72dpi standard resolution), and custom elements had to provide visual stabilization to accommodate the design to the various forms of rendering. Last, but not least, the entire environment of the presentation was rather blocky, from OS elements to the housing of the CRT, and you had to accommodate to this, as well.
Nice one OP! looks great!
They care, its just perfomance is only one of many factors that people consider when they buy a laptop. Screen quality, customer support, resale value, sad speed and many many others.
It definitely does, you are reading way to much into it. Look at the full list. How do you think all the other essential workers are going to get to and from work?
Oh it sounds like I do, but the issue is also the individual interviewer. You never know who you're going to get. Hence the importance of carrying oneself in interviews in ways that don't unnecessarily disadvantage oneself. Flippancy can go both ways and is not always appreciated.

You can already see from the comments on this thread that there are strong opinions on both sides of this -- it's not a consensus. Flippant questions are a gamble is all I'm saying.

p.s. that said, if it were me, I'd treat it as a minor irritation and move on unless the candidate demonstrates a pattern of a lack of seriousness about the interview. It's one thing to be relaxed and casual, but not taking the interview seriously is not a good look.

Also if a company is extremely casual and everyone is in jeans and hoodies, ignore what I said in this entire thread. It doesn't apply.
Most businesses aren't in a position to sue the county. If Tesla sues and wins, those other businesses will benefit as well. I'm not sure what you're objecting to here.

Backblaze B2 is what you’re looking for.
The grandparent's argument is that AWS is extorting the customer to remain a customer by making the cost of moving data out of AWS prohibitevly high. I don't think it is actual extortion (at least legally), since the egress prices are public, and you could argue if the customer had done due diligence they would have known the price when becoming a customer in the first place.

But if they had changed the price after a customer became sufficiently invested in AWS, that would be using "unfair means", to obtain the customer's continued business.

I think comparisons to FreeNet are misleading, because IPFS doesn't let you publish content to other people's nodes, and it doesn't try to provide any way to browse content in IPFS. It's more like torrents, if torrent applications were tuned to serve content to web browsers quickly.

It seems like every single thread about IPFS on HN has several people asking "what happens if you run an IPFS node and a random person online puts something illegal on it?", and that's just not a thing that happens with IPFS.
I seem to recall that Newt Gingrich & company were convinced that the market was being unfairly stymied in providing maps, so they worked pretty hard to choke off funding and narrow the mission of the USGS. There's been far too small a budget to keep maps even vaguely up to date and my understanding is that current Republican lawmakers are keeping this situation going for the same political reasons. The US is huge and underfunding the USGS means that every part of the government that works with them is getting bad data. I can't imagine the FS is having an easier time when the base maps are ancient.
What's your definition of 'know'? It's very common to have surface level knowledge of the class only to dive in and see that it does something else. So do you 'know' the code as well as you thought so? Probably not. Fact of the matter is you can't magically 'know' everything about a class based off a class name. And this includes your 'seasoned Java developers'.

You're throwing out some very large assumptions as well.

Are those actually comparable? Neither of those options appeal to me, but the MNT Reform does.

Not much activity recently - why share this now?
If those other business were classified as essential by the state and ordered to remain open, but then the county ordered them closed, they absolutely should sue the county as well. Unfortunately they probably don’t have the same legal resources as Tesla does. If Tesla wins this case it could be beneficial for other businesses as well.
> I don't like it when we go off script, because it's hard to compare with previous candidates.

Wow. Meep, zorp, hire me. The beauty of this section of the interview (as someone who also has done countless of these numbing, repetitive 'script' interviews), that it allows for candidates to be tiny bit unrestrained. Go on, ask whatever you think is important. Or funny. Or something that can give you insight into this job you're tyna get into. That's the part where you can actually differentiate between robots who memorized answers (whatever answer they might be) and people who are actually interesting that YOU, and your team, would find pleasant to work with.

If I've got any sort of work to do, where I could just as easily load up a game, I say to myself "I'm going to work on this for ten minutes until 3:30pm. Then if I'm sick of working on it, I'll just play the game instead."

It's exceptionally practical, since 95% of the time I end up working on that thing for longer than that ten minutes. For me, it alleviates the pressure of thinking I'll need to push through a task for hours by giving myself an escape hatch.

It's a "motivation follows action" technique/trick/hack.
