It’s clear from the comments that many people have no positive experiences with LinkedIn. For me, LinkedIn was the tool that not only helped me get into better companies, but also introduced me to Hacker News.

I joined Skype/Microsoft, then Skyscanner, then Uber: all after a LinkedIn recruiter reachout. They were opportunities I did not know or think about and I would have never applied to any of them at the time. I was very happy the time working in investment banking, and had zero reason or motivation to change this up. I needed that "nagging" from a recruiter to actually consider what if I was building the next Xbox that millions of gamers will use on day one, instead of a trading system that no more than a dozen of traders use.

In hindsight, all the positions were a step up in professionally, financially, and from a personal growth point of view. I even learned about Hacker News when I was working at Skype, from colleagues. If it wasn't for LinkedIn, I might have permanently been stuck in investment banking and my career would have turned out very differently.
Putting aside the obvious “not if there is a clear and agreed upon plan for naming their replacements,” there is actually a very different last resort for organizations (typically non-profits) that are deemed to be in service of the community (even if just as a place of employment but especially when they are furthering a mission) where the courts are granted custody of the non-profit and appoint a respected member of the community to maintain core operations as they oversee the process of creating a new board of directors, possibly by setting up elections, creating a committee to establish new governing bylaws, etc so that the good a non-profit has been doing isn’t wholly undone by the dissolution of its governing body.

Pepsi's cockups are no doubt the catalyst of the events that unfolded but can you say that they are responsible for someone murdering someone else during what happened? are any actions the protestors undertake in anger the responsibility of Pepsi?

Relay has quite a few users, a partial list of which you can find at https://relay.dev/en/users. I personally prefer it myself.
The Mac (a PC-style computer) is a strategic investment, due to its role in software creation. The brand is also part of the core image of the company.

Apple still commands only a fraction of the overall PC market, and while that is not growing as whole, their portion could by a great deal.

You’re right that there have been major missteps. But there have also been major corrective steps as well, which are just as important in gauging how the company will behave in the future.
I've written "offline first" web pages, not sure exactly what your offline app requires though.
I didn’t lie when I indicated I know DCF, but mom knew almost nothing about my professional work. She was able to endorse me without any knowledge and that pretty much eliminates the value of an endorsement.

I realized then that it was more of a social network than a business network.

I think value of LinkedIn increases as you progress in your career and/or into harder to fill roles. I've now passed the 20 YOE mark in my careers and have moved into management, and it's at this point where I'm really starting to find value from LinkedIn. Yes, there's tons of spam ("I've got a great entry-level role for you!"), but I was able to use it very effectively in my last job search. Of the 4 opportunities I pursued through the final interview/offer stage, 2 were initiated by someone finding my profile on LinkedIn and 1 was a process that got stuck that I was able to get unstuck by reaching out to a connection at the company. The two "inbound" opportunities were both Director/VP level roles at companies I was interested in working in.
I think it is pretty likely in the next 10 years they will be selling the Model 3 for around $25. That is definitely mass-market pricing.
Sort of. Lots of Uber drivers already had a car, phone, and commute that they could make and extra $20 each day on if they drove an extra 15min out of their way. This isn’t too much but over a month would add up.

Of course now that COVID is a thing much of this has stopped.
I've never lived in an apartment in the US that didn't have a fridge. The only time I have needed to buy appliances was my apartment in Tokyo and luckily I had a roommate that supplied most of them from their old place.
Basically, comparing Apple and Samsung based on number of phones sold is a poor metric. The same applies to Tesla and GM.

Vertical integration is a huge difference between Tesla and other car companies. GM and Ford outsource a significantly higher percentage of their cars than Tesla. On top of this their an automotive dealer which captures more revenue and by making cars on demand has lower capital costs.

Bosch, Denso, Magna, Continental and ZF Friedrichshafen so more than just make auto parts, but still end up as huge players in the automotive industry.

>Public libraries got shut down, they opened a replacement

And they did it in the most blatantly illegal way possible, with a press release that removed any doubt as to whether the infringement was willful. Brilliant!

IA could have, for instance, reached out to local libraries to see if IA could "use" their physical copies for proxies of the digital ones IA was loaning. This would likely have been illegal, but far more palatable, justifiable, and importantly not willful infringement.

I recently had a successful experimental surgery in this countries nationalised health service. Interestingly the idea had come from a study where the surgery I had was a control group and the 'real' group had a stem cell therapy as well. My problem was resolved, the single payer system didn't waste $100,000 on stem cell therapy. Good result. In the privatised system that carried out the original study the additional stem cell therapy is being done. It seems like optimising for profit optimises for cost.
Here is the MIT Framework for Publisher Contracts:

https://libraries.mit.edu/scholarly/publishing/framework/

It requires that:

1. No author will be required to waive any institutional or funder open access policy to publish in any of the publisher’s journals.

2. No author will be required to relinquish copyright, but instead will be provided with options that enable publication while also providing authors with generous reuse rights.

3. Publishers will directly deposit scholarly articles in institutional repositories immediately upon publication or will provide tools/mechanisms that facilitate immediate deposit.

4. Publishers will provide computational access to subscribed content as a standard part of all contracts, with no restrictions on non-consumptive, computational analysis of the corpus of subscribed content.

5. Publishers will ensure the long-term digital preservation and accessibility of their content through participation in trusted digital archives.

6. Institutions will pay a fair and sustainable price to publishers for value-added services, based on transparent and cost-based pricing models.

Not surprising that Elsevier couldn't meet these requirements. #2 in particular seems antithetical to Elsevier's philosophy.

What was surprising was the number of institutions which had signed onto the framework - my alma mater included. I'm curious how many of these still have an Elsevier contract.

It is clickbaity. There was no "typo" (Pepsi said it was a "system error") and there was nothing that cost them $32B.

But we don't have to lie about the content of a story in order to make this outrageous, it's already outrageous enough with the facts.

- Pulumi [1], which supports amongst many other languages Python as well

- SaltStack [2], which has a broad range of execution and state modules, uses by default a "Master/Minion" architecture, but can be used push-based through "salt-ssh" [3] as well

- POP/Idem [4] - which originates in the concept of idempotent SaltStack states, but exposes this functionality as Python code and uses the POP paradigm [5] coined by SaltStack's founder Thomas Hatch. A lot of SaltStack itself will quite likely move towards this architecture in the foreseeable future as well

I'd never heard of them before. Here's wikipedia on them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikola_Motor_Company

It appears that technically, your statement is incorrect in that they've produced some prototypes. And they have orders (not sure if that counts as sales), but they've not actually delivered a production vehicle yet. Which makes their market cap seem insane, but it seems like most publicly traded companies have had insane market caps since the 90s.
If you have the land, building a large shed or pole barn isn't expensive. You can get a nice workshop for under $10,000 installed. Heck, constructing a large shed isn't that difficult. You can do most of the work yourself and outsource the electric.
Alpha Go Zero used a combination of deep learning within a classical AI Monte Carlo simulation framework. Without a similarly effective framework its not surprising that Alpha Star wasn't able to achieve similar success. I've watched a lot of Alpha Star replays and the lapses in forethought glare through pretty regularly, though other aspects of its judgement (not just reflexes!) seem frankly super human.
Regarding finishes, I highly, highly recommend the book Understanding Wood Finishing by Bob Flexner. Flexner applies a very no-nonsense scientific approach which greatly demystifies the process. For example he explains what that pre-stain conditioner actually is (chemically), what it achieves (with photos), and exactly when you would want to use it. There is a lot of marketing and folklore around wood finishing which makes it a lot more confusing than it is, and this book helps cut through all of that.
Cool! Thanks for that. I am glad ln work for you and thanks for sharing. :)
> I don't give a benefit of doubt to any cop.

So in other words cops are guilty of being racists (And everything else) until being proven innocent?

Anyone charged with a crime is innocent until proven guilty because we feel as a society it is better to let guilty go free rather than convict innocent...Its why the standard in criminal law is beyond a reasonable doubt. Everyone should be treated equally under the law, regardless of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation and occupation.

That's an interesting perspective. What system would you propose to allow people to be "paid to do" this sort of creative work in a fair manner? Particularly since it's not always clear what the value of that work is until you see the finished product. (E.g. It's possible for two movies with identical multi-million dollar budgets to be produced, and one to turn out to be unwatchable garbage and the other a masterpiece that everyone loves.)

The tendency to go for most popular library/framework/etc, with all the assorted justifications (which are valid to a degree and thus misleading) is an indication of just how rampant cargo culture is in software. Everybody always looking for the default thing to throw at the wall, hoping it solves their problem. And it’s fine, for prototyping and fast growth “products” (really mvps and demos) but with anything serious you must do the required legwork to figure out what is actually needed, and it’s often best to limit dependencies on external libraries and frameworks as much as possible.

Which is a distorted discussion already. Instead of questioning the benefit of the technology for policing on the whole it is already shifted to the issues of bias. In the end the algorithm and the data will of course have bias in some form but that isn't even important at that point.

I've heard that whenever someone uses autopilot on a Telsa, if they override the autopilot, it sends the car's video and commands from before, and uses the override as the "correct" decision.

If Tesla has every one of their cars feeding their models more data, it does feel like a natural conclusion that they will be able to overtake waymo.

Every activity is basically a mini app. Take a gym log for example. It has an activity for recording an exercise. It also has an activity for viewing the list of exercises in a workout. It has an activity for viewing a list of workouts. It has activities for editing each of those lists, discovering new workouts, watching videos of exercises, taking notes on particular sets, and adjusting settings. Maybe it includes social features, graphing, reporting, etc. But whoever wrote it started with just a couple of activities and grew it up.

+1 for goodrx, they helped a LOT when I was doing residential and commercial carpentry and had a piece of slag bounced off my cheekbone, up under my safety glasses and right into my eyeball.

Many flushings and a few days later I go to the ER (after being threatened with being fired if I applied for workman's comp).

ER doc numbed my eye and scraped out the slag and metal shards in my eye. Prescribed generic antibiotic eye drops.

I thought cool antibiotics arent expensive and per the manufacturer website is literally just diluted penicillin in an eye dropper. Boy was I wrong! 200 with insurance copay, 150 if i paid cash no insurance. Was recommended goodrx by the pharmacist and in 5 mins had created an account and had a valid 'coupon' for the drops at $50.

It's incredibly sad this is where our country is at with regards to health care, that we have to find workarounds like this.
Some projects do, yes. Django, for example, has a library to provide types. In my experience, types are useful even just in my own application, since the libraries I use tend to generally only accept simple/fundamental types anyway. Things could definitely be better when it comes to library type support, though, I agree.

> Tesla is a car company. Their current products are great. Their upcoming products might be industry changing. The Semi is going to lower the cost of longhaul freight, which has ripple down effects across many industries. The cybertruck is a moonshot granted, but just might hit it big. Allegedly, they have over 500,000 reservations for it which is more than the Model 3 ever had.

I don't doubt that Tesla is a great car, I plan to buy one myself. The question is whether this justifies that kind of valuation. Cars are a commodity, and for as long as they've existed, there have always been great cars, shitty cars, and everything in between.

Re: cybertruck. Ford already has already demonstrated its F-series all electric pickup prototype. I don't doubt that the semi truck market is huge, but again I ask: what specifically does Tesla have that would make it a monopoly here? Seems like another commodity market.

> Plus a static energy provider (powerwall, powerpack, megapack).

> Plus a solar provider (solar panels + solar tiles)

In theory, yes, but in practice they haven't sold much of this at all. Remember, the current revenue growth is on the back of their car revenues. Vast majority of their opex is in car manufacturing and sales.

> Plus a large refuel / recharge network provider (superchargers) who has a huge lead on literally everyone.

This is a strong point, but I'm not sure that it's really that much of a competitive advantage. While you're right that Tesla has a huge lead on everyone, that's just because the vast majority of consumers still drive ICE cars, and get the energy for that from Chevron/Arco/Shell/BP pumps sprinkled all over the world. The world will gradually shift away from ICE -> electric, but installing electric chargers at gas pumps isn't a huge lift for your Chevrons of the world — they already have the humans, capital, and real estate.

> Their current stock price seems a tad low if they're able to execute effectively in all of the markets they're in. So far, it does appear that they are.

I don't doubt that Tesla will continue to exist and be hugely successful — I'm even rooting for Elon because he is IMO the most interesting industrialist of all time. It still doesn't necessarily mean that they are worth $200B+.

An interesting side-effect of the shift to open access will be that anyone who's still publishing in closed-access journals will be at a severe disadvantage in getting cited compared to people who publish open access and make preprints available.

Industrial animal farming. Deforestation and greenhouse gases from it are destroying the planet when you don't need meat to be healthy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_meat_p...

> "The livestock sector is also the primary driver of deforestation in the Amazon, with around 80% of all converted land being used to rear cattle.[37][38] 91% of land deforested since 1970 has been converted to cattle ranching.[39][40]"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_meat_p...

> At a global scale, the FAO has recently estimated that livestock (including poultry) accounts for about 14.5 percent of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions estimated as 100-year CO2 equivalents.[57] A previous widely cited FAO report using somewhat more comprehensive analysis had estimated 18 percent.[8]

That's not even getting into the cruelty of slaughtering 70 billion a year (vegetarians are not exempt from this - farm animals are slaughtered when they can't produce any more milk or eggs). Most western countries would be appalled at eating dogs and cats but because it's cultural to eat cows, pigs and chickens for example, the cruelty of slaughtering them is normalised, ignored and casually joked about.

They miss some deadlines, but with the Model Y they were early. That is arguable the most important part. The giga factories are making pretty fast progress as well.

I think the narrative that they are always late on everything is wrong. The set insane goals and most of the time they miss them, but they are still fast even in those cases.

I bought stocks for the first time right in the heart of the Covid-19 crisis, Tesla is riding two massive waves of change, electrification and self-driving. It will take 10-15 years to shake out completely but I think Tesla will be the big winner of this shakeout.
I've used pre-stain conditioner when applying a dark oil-based stain to pine. It does seem to help even out the finish with soft woods. It is pretty useless on harder woods though, and since I don't typically use pine or stain I have maybe used it once or twice.
