Not OP, but mid 30s and I’m getting a bit tired of folks who are out of touch because of their age believing their past experience can extrapolate a future they don’t understand (Buffett in particular has done a very poor job understanding and investing in tech).

It’s terribly ironic that they think Musk is just lucky considering Munger and Buffett were able to invest during one of the most prosperous times in American history.

Admit you’re passed your prime and move on. Make way for innovators instead of valuing reading a 10-K and preferring conservative companies you believe are undervalued, or distressed companies you’re going to try to twist their arm into a deal (as Buffett did during the GFC with banks).

I’ve been planning to get a Tesla, but I can’t buy one anymore. Between this and all the crazy, and sometimes illegal, shit Elon says, I just cant do it.
You don't need to look very far: countries like Denmark, Germany, and New Zealand are high-functioning democracies that exist right now.
This is the same Charlie Munger who backed airline stocks when everyone else was dumping them, outside only to finally realize how terrible they were far too late and finally dump them weeks after the rest of the market did.

His opinion is absolutely valid, but it’s not like his track record is any more exceptional than Musk’s.
I think it's more just that you have to go grab the console piece separately, in the same way that Ubuntu can't include the mp3 codec as part of its distribution even though you can trivially go and install it yourself for free
Good. The economic devastation produced by the absurd government overreaction has destroyed orders of magnitude more net utility (measured in dollars, or imputed uniform-weight utils, or QALY, or whatever) than any realistic projection for the destruction caused by this virus. It's should now be abundantly clear to everyone what was clear to people who looked at the available data with a level head months ago: these lockdowns are pointless at best, and realistically they have been incredibly destructive. I would hope that people would learn from this whole thing why the airheaded "lives are more important than the economy" rhetoric is an absurd category error, but I think that may be expecting too much of people.
My point is that this is yet another case where it is Tesla who is in the news for some controversial conflict. Such as the many times it's attempted to fight the SEC, played fast and loose with health and safety regulations in its factories, attempted to manipulate markets to burn short sellers, or bricked the cars of second-hand sellers. Sure, one or two of those events could be explained. But there is a social compact here. At a certain point, it reminds me of Uber's historical attitude towards local regulations or user privacy. This is not a comparison that I am happy to make.

This, of course, is besides the highly contentious notion that anyone will "benefit" from a public health order being overturned.

Elon Musk is behaving like an entitled and pampered child, did you see his irresponsible tweets a few days ago? How can someone in a position to impact millions of lives be so irresponsible?
> I suppose that's the tool's intent.

Quite the opposite in fact: we built this for manager-types who have many meetings and for the very reason you cited need to appear available.

It purposely makes the slots of time that we book “free” until the day is too full, and only then changes it to busy.

The result is that my calendar, for example, appears free from 11am to 2pm, but if suddenly that time starts filling up, some time (30-60 mins by default) gets held for lunch.

In other words: it does exactly as you prescribe (blocks off 1-2 hours), except without the rigidity of fixed events, making it easier for people like you to call (hopefully good) meetings.

Give it a try!
Claiming luxury car production to be "critical infrastructure" to get employees back into factories, crazy lockdown protests, poor people of color affected most, probably nobody talking about all the people without proper health insurance, and some people right now probably becoming broke despite paying for health insurance..

Sitting in my european "communist" social security net reading US news I fear it is the "invisible hand" of out-of-control capitalism reacting to a global pandemic in the most lucrative way over there (= indifferent towards lives lost).

Edit: So who is downvoting all the comments in this thread that are critical of Teslas factory reopening? Wondering whether you've got the courage to explain yourself?
“Pretty good” certainly isn’t true in my area. Most businesses aren’t labeled, or are labeled incorrectly, and certainly no houses are labeled.

As best as I can tell, there are simply no boots on the ground on the east side of Indianapolis. Unfortunately I’m not in a position to do much about it myself, but the sheer volume of missing data is a pretty strong deterrent.
If you zoom to 200% it should look sharp again :)
If having the disease spread more widely among populations and more COVID deaths translates as "benefit" to you then yes. Tesla is concerned about only profits but what's profitable for the company may not be for people.

I would expect Netflix to have reasonably detailed strategic analysis and projections of all of the available options - moving to Google, moving to Azure, moving to Oracle, moving to multi-cloud, colocation, not to mention things we can't even imagine because ... well, we have no real idea.

At different points any one of these may make strategic sense, but as others have highlighted here such moves would consume resources that could be allocated to other areas.

My take would be that increasingly the Netflix business model is really content and production. Disney is the real competitor here. Technology is necessary, but not sufficient.

So the features that the dissertation claims Rust doesn’t have are:

- Single-threaded mutable aliasing

Actually, Rust supports this in the form of the `Cell` type. It’s admittedly not very ergonomic, though. Also, Bolt runs on the JVM and thus has a garbage collector. This pattern is more powerful in a garbage-collected environment, because merely reading a pointer is enough to guarantee it won’t be collected. Suppose you (1) read a mutable field of type string, (2) call some other code that might write a different string to that field, then (3) access the string you originally read. With garbage collection, this is safe; without it, your string might have been freed by the time you access it. You can also make this safe with reference counting – most interpreted languages do this, Swift does it with class fields, and there are libraries to do it in Rust – but fiddling with reference counts every time you access an object is fairly slow.

> Concurrently mutate disjoint parts of object

Out of the box, Rust lets you take mutable references to disjoint parts of an object and send them to different places, including different threads. Bolt also apparently lets you pass these around as linear capabilities; translated to Rust terms, it’s like if you could take a Box<(Foo, Bar)> and split it into a Box<Foo> and Box<Bar>. Rust doesn’t support this out of the box, but you can get something equivalent with the owning_ref crate (again, a bit less ergonomic, but still safe).

> Concurrently mutate object, locking overlapping state

You can easily do this in Rust with Arc<Mutex<Foo>>. Bolt apparently inserts mutexes automagically where needed, but other than that I don’t see any ergonomic difference. Most Rust programmers would probably not appreciate mutexes being inserted automatically; locking is expensive and creates the possibility of deadlocks, so for both a performance and correctness standpoint you want to understand where mutexes are being used.
> Seems to me that excessive contact would ruin the strongest relationships even faster than no contact would.

Fair assumption, but my fiancé and I are doing just fine. If anything this proved for sure that we can go ahead and get married.

What COVID-19 lockdown has revealed, imo: relationships that were on shaky ground accelerate their demise [0]. Those that were "meant to be" come out more intimate.

I think that you are considerably underestimating how small and numerous viruses are, and how difficult one like this is to stop once it's spreading in a community. They've evolved for billions of years to do exactly this, and they are very good at it.
Predicting the future is notoriously difficult and reviewing the past can only show what happened from a single course of action. There's literally no way to know what would have happened if no lock down happened.

There aren't even good examples of other countries that didn't lock down since basically everyone did.

So, since I'm no an epidemiologist, I'll defer the expertise to those that are.

AWS Lightsail is a possible workaround for bandwidth heavy simple workloads. The smallest $3.50/mo instance (t2.nano behind the scenes), comes with 1TB outbound bandwidth - equivalent of about $90 for the same in EC2 excluding the instance cost, and bundled bandwidth increases for larger types.
> ten times the resources for doing the same thing

Is it really ten times the resources, and really doing the same thing?

My computer today uses much less power than what I had in the '90s, and cost less too. It has an internal 4K display and two external 4K displays.

My '90s computer had a single 1280x1024 CRT where I always had to tweak the focus and alignment to get readable text. With no GPU, scrolling in an editor was always an exercise in patience, watching the text repaint line by line.

Today all my monitors are high-DPI, everything scrolls instantly, and those vector fonts are what allow for crisp, detailed, and readable text on each display.

Don't get me wrong, I think this '90s font site is a wonderful exercise in nostalgia and CSS ingenuity and is very cool!

But you couldn't get me to go back to those days.
Also ... Dropbox is a good example of a product that has lost it's way. It went from a very simple and clear product with strong value to something we all now work around. Its more reliable to email or slack files than deal with whatever confusing thing Dropbox is doing.
Eric Schmidt, Who Led Google to Dominance, Has Left Company
> I don’t get how some people work different hours at home..

Not every company will have a stack of meetings or require you to be on Slack. For 10 years I did WFH for a company where everything happened via email, and it was designed to be asynchronous. That meant I could choose any hours to work, and I often worked at night & slept in through the morning. As long as the work got done and milestones were finished on time, it didn't matter.

My personal opinion, but if a company is requiring you to work synchronously from home, something has gone a bit wrong and their processes are fragile. It's like multi-threaded code but the threads are always blocked waiting on each other. (In that case, the company is probably just doing WFH to save on rental costs and to get the employees to buy the office equipment instead.)

At least in those cases you still get the benefit of designing the work environment you want with the gear you want, but you miss out on the time flexibility.

When I was reading that comment it seemed like a lighthearted question was a plus if it happened, but obviously not a serious metric that anyone is tracking.

I don't know why commenting and replying has to necessarily be so hostile and adversarial.
You can say you know more about this subject than I do, and that might be right. But that doesn't mean you'll find success, especially with that attitude. Plus your idea of 'content-agnostic' ads don't work because by existing on the same page and site, it's viewed as an endorsement. If it's not because of the video itself, then it'll be because of the videos that your site hosts. That's why people have gone after advertisers whom had ads on sites such as Breitbart. The alternative is ads which are purely browser-based and if that's your revenue model, then you were already beaten there by Brave.

But no, I won't 'reverse my thrusters'. You want me to change my opinion, then prove me wrong. Otherwise all you have is your word, and words are meaningless.
For concrete examples, take a look at any word where a 'd' is followed by a letter with a vertical stroke on the left side (e.g. "did", "middle", etc).

> This is the missing link for IRC.

What exactly makes it the missing link? It looks like it provides basic support for its features, which software like ZNC does anyway, but without needing to hardcode the protocol like jbnc does. (also, you're missing a \r in your protocol messages, which would be necessary to actually be RFC1459 compliant. It looks like it is also missing SUMMON, so I guess it would be more accurate to call it RFC1459-like)

This is a pretty broad argument, that if there exists, somewhere, any jurisdiction that would permit Tesla to operate their factory, but Alameda County does not permit it, then the Equal Protection clause has been violated.
>> There aren't even good examples of other countries that didn't lock down since basically everyone did.

If you mean via government mandate, Sweden is a good ongoing example of this.
This addresses one part of concerns with online commerce, and might well be relegated to a separate shopping application (total segregation of normal Web + commerce activity and resulting data).

It's still only a part of what a major ecommerce vendor offers, other elements being, potentially, supplier relations, purchaser guarantees, ratings and feedback systems, fraud detection (both buy and sell sides), fulfillment, physical delivery, advertising and brand awareness, lobbying, and more. Competition in these areas would remain.

Any browser-inherent features would also all but certainly move more slowly than independently developed capabilities.

Given the present browser market, it would also have to specifically appeal to Google, even Safari and Firefox are extremely distant rivals in that space. Though as noted at the top: a free-standing open shopping/commerce dedicated app might appear.

It's still quite possible an ecommerce monopolist could capture or repel such an initiative, whether in existing or new applications.

All that said, I'd encourage exploration of the idea, it's certainly occurred to me previously.
I thought anticompetitive behavior was the exact opposite of price gouging. You sell below cost to put your competitors out of business. Evidently AWS isn't doing that with bandwidth.

Here's an HN thread [0] from a few years ago regarding "advertising" in the MOTD, specifically, and Ubuntu's "dynamic" MOTD, generally. (I'm not sure if all of the hardware/system details were being sent back then, though.)

The relevant "snippets" responsible for this behavior live in their own directory, /etc/update-motd.d/, if memory serves. That may not be exactly right -- perhaps unsuprisingly, I don't have an Ubuntu box handy -- but it should at least be close enough to help you find the actual directory.

> Rust doesn’t support this out of the box, but you can get something equivalent with the owning_ref crate

Rust does come with something like this out of the box for the case of arrays: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slice.html#method.sp...
Light maps are when you use any lighting algorithm to generate a pre-rendered texture of all the lights and shadows in a scene. The result is a big packed texture and an extra set of texture coords on all the scene geometry that says which bit of the texture corresponds to what. You can use any lighting algorithm to generate the map, but presumably something that's too slow to use in real time, and that's in some way better than your real time shader.

Light maps only work on non-moving lights and non-moving objects, but they're usually combined with light probes, which are samples of what the shadows would be like in a given chunk of empty space if an object were there. Moving objects can shadow themselves using these.

Light maps can be combined with other lighting/shadow algorithms. For example you might leave out the direct lighting from the most important lights in your scene, and use shadow maps for those instead, so dynamic objects can cast shadows.
