It’s never been about selling product, although it helps. The hype around autonomy and full self driving has fuelled their share price growth for some time.

Just selling cars alone does not justify Tesla’s current valuation (how could it? Making cars is a notoriously tricky and oftentimes unprofitable business).
On Twitch:

- Not only I have seen secrets revealed on stream, like passwords and tokens and such... I have seen people working with databases full of personally identifiable information, and you could see names, phone numbers, e-mails and addresses on stream. There are irresponsible people out here.

- I have seen people doxxing themselves by showing their git identity, or some popup window with some licensing information such as "Registered to: John Doe", or when the autocomplete suggestions on their browser search bar shows "[Facebook favicon] John Doe".

As you can see, there are many, many ways to leak your identity on stream. If you want to have a discrete online presence, try to do all your work on a dedicated VM, or take measures such as using a dedicated browser for your stream related activities, a separate git identity, hide splash screens, and pay attention to detail at how things look before you go live.

Another example of the haphazard throw-it-against-the-wall approach of what our country has chosen to have as our national experiment.

This cannot be good for either side. Do we want to live in a system where if you hadn't been paying attention to the news for 1 week, we might have kicked >100,000 people out of the country?

> You don't have to wait. The current Ryzen 3000 series processors support ECC.

The post you were responding to asked when they would get official ECC support. ECC is not officially supported on Ryzen. If it works on your particular board/BIOS, great, but it's not officially validated or tested, so nobody besides you will actually be testing whether it works, and if it doesn't work in some edge case (or at all) then sucks to be you. If ECC doesn't work right on some future BIOS revision that fixes a security issue or some other critical bug, and there is never an updated version that does support ECC, sucks to be you.

That is specifically the problem that people are looking to avoid by asking for official support.

As it stands, you can probably count the number of boards that anyone would bother to validate ECC on on a single hand - Asrock Rack has two server boards, Asus has some "WS" series that might, maybe some of the high-end Asrock consumer boards. And it will never be officially supported by AMD, if there is a critical bug then welp.

As such I think "ECC is supported on AM4" is a bit of an exaggeration or a clever bit of terminology spin from some fans. If you call up AMD and ask, they will tell you they don't go out of their way to disable it (except in APUs) but it's not supported. I think "functional" or "enabled" is a better term.

(Intel validates support on their consumer processors, by the way... i3s and Pentiums officially support ECC. Supermicro/Asrock Rack/etc test those configurations and if they don't work then you can complain and they will fix them.)
> let's call a spade a spade: it's not a "goof," it's a dangerous and deceptive business practice

There's a very odd tendency for people to engage with corporate PR packages in the same way they engage in interpersonal interactions. In the abstract, sure, they get that it's a crafted artifact meant to maximize profits, but in the immediate sense... they act as though the words have any intrinsic meaning at all rather than "white noise that maximizes likelihood of profit, while ideally not instigating litigation or regulation."

It's not unique to Tesla. It's every single time a major corp. issues a significant public statement, as though it's some sort of earnest missive from the founder rather than a PR-crafted artifact vetted by legal, compliance, and probably the COO and CMO, if not a board member or two.

Corps are profit-maximizing engines. They are not your buddies. They are not speaking from the heart. They're not even spinning something that started off as something from the heart. They are designing cognitive drone strikes meant to optimize public reception of current business practices.
Chomsky & Herman have an entire book on why news agencies can't and don't work either. However, they clearly point out that there is also a lot of truth from those news agencies, but often not when it comes to domestic & foreign politics.
A lot of software development still happens at businesses that are not 'software companies'. The experience is very different, with a much different culture around software.
I think it was more a punitive action against both foreigners and higher education in general. Remember that Trump doesn't care about anyone whose presence in the U.S. cannot directly benefit him, his family's businesses, his party, or his reelection campaign. Highly-educated people and naturalized citizens are among the least likely Trump voters you could imagine. Of course he doesn't care about how these sorts of actions affect universities and foreign students. He will take advantage of any opportunity to harm non-white, non-U.S. born people (see: literally everything he's done relating to immigration) and higher education (see: Title IX reforms and endowment taxes).
Agreed that there’s a market for home electronics that doesn’t try to sell on looking coolest in a store, but are reliable and work well in real life. No beeps, no unnecessary LEDs or LCDs, no fancy branded™ features. Just simple, basic, sturdy design that looks right in a home.

Start reading magazines about gardening, retirement, group travel, birds, and other topics that skew 40+. Plenty of ads for such things there.

Don't get me wrong but do you always look at historical numbers to predict the future?
I recall a story about someone at a government contractor who did a major refactoring and removed thousands of lines of code from a project, increasing its performance, only to be told by management that they'd signed a contract that said the company got paid by lines of code delivered, and his improvement would cost them tens of thousands of dollars, so revert the whole thing.
To be honest, when I do searches on google video, I always hope I get a youtube result. If it's not, it's often a webpage with an embedded youtube result, but the native non-youtube videos are even worse from a usability perspective. I sometimes use site:youtube.com to improve this. Youtube is just really good and the vast majority of competitors are bad.

Except for Vimeo. Vimeo is great. And I hope we get more youtube competitors.

EDIT: Also, I don't like the search system within Youtube itself. Googling for videos seems to work better.

ORMs are just a tool, and they really don't preclude query optimisation.

All the ones I've used or written allow bypassing selects, joins or an entire query and manually translating results, so they don't have to get in the way when optimisation really matters, but the vast majority of the time IME in most apps that just isn't necessary so I'll take the reduced friction of a query builder that automates the basics as long as it allows bypassing it when required.

Hello,

I am remote web developer seeking remote role. I have over 4 years of experience with PHP(Laravel), Javascript(Ember.js, Electron.js, a bit of React.js), Html, CSS, SASS, ColdFusion(FW/1), system administration and other technologies. If you are interested, let me know so we can arrange a chat or call. Thanks!
I don't think that has as much to do with eventual consistency as with the old school system design of "the UI is a database editor, here are your plaintext fields" that still permeates a lot of businesses today.

I would love to be able to "sleep" while preserving consciousness. Willingly losing consciousness terrifies me. It's like death. You are physically unable to observe the moment you transition from consciousness to unconsciousness, because observing inplies consciousness. Sleeping is basically leaping into the void.

I seriously cannot understand how it is he gets away with all of his gimmicks. I mean, insulting federal government agencies is not a crime, but so many of things he does seem to be awfully close to a crime these agencies are supposed to prosecute for.

P.S.

Hmm... How comes his brilliant TSLA price evaluation of 2 months ago isn't cited? If anything, this should have been captured for future generations.
Thank you! We actually have a waiting list for those:

Some use cases where package maintainers might be willing to pay to promote their packages:
* API companies that want to promote their product, mainly newcomers to the market that look for developers' mindshare, but probably incumbents as well.
* DB and other infrastructure companies that have packages (drivers, libraries, tooling)
* SaaS companies who's users are developers (e.g. monitoring, logging, analytics)
* Some indie developers who are willing to pay a few bucks to get those first thousand users to their package and get it off the ground.
* Software development firms/agencies that build packages as a means of showcasing their expertise, use the package as a way to build reputation and get more clients

Vote for someone who doesn't have a track record of bankruptcies and has respect from most of his ex-colleagues? Is this really that hard to grasp?
I also love k8s and agree with the author.

K8s gives us declarative infrastructure with eventual reconciliation. That's massive, and there's nothing else around that really does that.

I have a hard time taking anyone sesriously that makes the case that k8s is bad that hasn't fully grokked the above.

I don't get it, isn't that the point of open source and free software, why doesn't the author, or a group of like minded people simply fork the old software and release a SimpleEtcD?

Of course, you could argue that the people who made it more complicated in the first place could/should have forked instead of taking over, but that ship obviously sailed a long time ago.
So they stop reading once they get to the message in the article? You're going to feed the message to conservatives like wrapping a pill in cheese and giving it to a dog? This is both infantilizing and doesn't work.
Why VS Code is so popular?
It's not supposed to be a complete survey of all news sites. It's sites that are posing as local news sources, when in reality they're just cookie-cutter "news" article farms that are connected to larger orgs that have a historical political bias. How does one not being around NYC invalidate the rest? Isn't it entirely plausible these organizations don't see value in attempting to persuade locals in those areas? Additionally, the vast majority of these appear to be in suburban to rural areas; there's none around Seattle, LA, or Atlanta as well.
That's fair. Coincidentally I just saw this article about using org-mode + mobile apps for task management [1].

To be fair to the parent - it would be if you tried to make sure they weren’t hired anywhere.

You were making a biased and snap judgement about a candidate - but that happens a lot in the interview process - same as if you rejected an African American candidate because you didn’t think they would fit in.

What would you do if one of your existing employees was found to have that kind of twitter account?
Too bad about the low-contrast gray on white text. It is a source of eyestrain.
Most of these are routed and in very active use. I have suballocations of large chunks from 12/8 and 38/8. People will be unhappy if you picked most of them.

73/8 is entirely owned by Comcast and used for customers. 44 is no longer a /8, but sold+split and half in active use by AWS.
Bing image search and video search are way more accurate than Google for me.

Google still reigns supreme in the text search department though.

You'll probably notice your disks not mounting and your vms not starting up and your users not being able to take data etc. Or not, depends on how frequently accessed it is.

We'd definitely notice.
I have worked on both sides of this in the enterprise world (as a support agent in the middle of dev team, as a end user and as a developer on the receiving end) and it is never simple.
A bug report takes time to make and many times it might take time to reproduce or narrow down to a simple test case.
A developer should of course get the information needed to fix a issue, but very often (s)he can find the issue with very little detective work if they know the product. The problem I've seen is that you have a fundamentally broken system where:
1. The devs don't really know the product in the sense that they do not use it. They have very little experience how it actually is used or the workflows and might not have good overview of the code base.
2. The support agents, if they exist, have little clue of either development or the product and just as a filter to remove the absolute majority of known issues but at the same time mess up the communication between end-user and devs
3. The end user have neither time or experience to test or report issues so you get very bad reports that vary wildly.

When working as a support agent I have spent a lot of my time acting as a filter to stop making the end-users go mad with all the requests from the devs and preventing the devs from being flooded with crap reports (of course, some always slip through). That means a lot of time spent on reproducing and testing (and sometimes pointing out where the bug is in the code, even suggesting patches). But very few organisations pay for that knowledge and very few allow agents to muck around for a day with a tricky issue to make sure the devs can fix it without a major hassle.

It is very easy to ask for more information as a dev, and very often it is needed, but a lot of the time it is just pushing the cost to the end-user when a minimal amount of detective work (or even a single quick test) would do the same and save everyone a lot of hassle. I would argue that in a lot of time when we, as devs, ask for more information we do it to push the issue into the future and to save ourself a minuscule of work now, not to have a quicker resolution.
Is this carbon-friendly, or is there a more modern way to accomplish the same goals?
You seem to be under the impression that there has to be a simple "situation in, binary judgement out" function that always works. I don't think that exists, as for pretty much any large-scale social problem, especially if you expand it globally, and I don't think my comment suggested that. Doesn't mean it isn't a useful heuristic to suggest why people (in the anglospehere, nowadays) are generally less worried about "just jokes" about Irish people than about trans people.

I never got around to trying a firebase client so I have no clue if it interacts with a different interface, might be worth taking a quick look at.

Executive branch is overpowered partially because the senate refuses to do its job. The original intent was for the senate to be slower moving and "cool" house legislation leading to slower moving governing structures. Over time, the executive branch was given additional power to "get stuff done", and we find ourselves in the situation we have today.

You could argue that they're not actually talking about the Paradox of Tolerance. (See philwelch's comment for what the real Paradox of Tolerance is, according to Popper.) You could even argue that they're not actually talking about the Paradox of Tolerance as defined by themselves. But at that point, the Paradox of Tolerance becomes useless, because whether it's being applied correctly or wrongly depends on the honesty and correct judgment of the one applying it. And it's really tempting to use it without honesty or correct judgment, all the while claiming that your side is the good guys.
I simply changed my mail configuration to use a different character, in my case _ though X would have worked as well.

> What is increasingly clear, though, is that China’s insistence that the West ignore the country’s “internal affairs” is a sentiment that is not reciprocated; the list of Western companies bullied by China for Western content is long and growing, the country is flooding Twitter and Facebook with coronavirus propaganda, and is leveraging WeChat to spread misinformation and to surveil the Chinese diaspora.

None of those are "internal affairs" to any Western country. Those are international companies that have an interest in not pissing off their cash cow. If they poured money into the Cascadia independence movement then that would America and Canada's internal affairs. But the only party doing that is the State Department and NED.

There's a lot of inaccuracies in this article. He seems to think knowledge in tech translates to knowledge in other things. Pity.
Ah, that's very a good point.
I've found Facebook video tends to be the source more often for live videos or recently live videos. For instance, my state's coronavirus briefings are live on their website and Facebook. When there were protests/riots in my town, videos of it happening were coming from Facebook, not YouTube. I presume at some point it ends up on YouTube, but for "current events" I find myself often bounced over to Facebook.

Meanwhile, I never find like... quality channel content anywhere but YouTube. The sort of thing where a scripted, well-recorded and annotated video is produced regularly... YouTube leads there by far.
