Tesla is poised to become one of few greatest tech behemoths of the world, taking a position were Apple is the closest comparison. Comparisons to existing automakers ignore a host of strategic advantages that are very hard for them to replicate. The details would require a long wall of reasoning, but it's there.

Investors have only realized the credibility of the über Tesla bulls in the last year or so, taking the stock from 5 years of stagnation into a valuation that assigns a significant probability of this happening.

It could certainly run ahead of the ideal probability-weighted likelihood of success for a bit. Also, with the likely S&P500 inclusion triggering a float contraction due to $25 billion of index funds forcibly buying at any cost, a latent buying pressure from $20 billions of short interest and a ~$50 billion actively managed S&P-benchmarked active funds that might buy, a lot can happen in the next few months. The discount rate for "Tesla has a significant probability of being in the position of Apple in 10 years" is not obvious.

This is not some random bubble obviously fueled by braindead retail investors.
Call things what they are. If one entity gives orders to other entities and they must carry them out, then don't call these the "primary" and the "secondary" entities, because then you've given them a vague and non-descriptive name. I'm not saying you _have_ to use "master" and "slave" when there are other reasonably descriptive names, just don't avoid it artificially because it reminds you of bad things.

I have a good password and I am sure my son is not able to run bittorent on his console or phone. My parents only have phones and they are not technical enough to install bitorrent also won't download a PC video game.

I also do not see the shit I torrented, probably because it was not the latest movie or video game.
The lead (or lede, if you will) is brilliant:

> The six lungs were taken from brain-dead patients and offered to transplant surgeons. But at major medical centers, one surgeon after another refused the organs.

> They were damaged, swollen and soggy with fluid. Like 80 percent of lungs offered for transplant, these were just too far gone for the operation.

> But researchers at Columbia and Vanderbilt saw an opportunity. They had been working for eight years on a system to restore damaged lungs.
Oh thanks I missed it, will do.
I agree with everything except creating legislature. That seems like a slippery slope in a country that doesn't pay for it's citizen's medical expenses.
> "So you're fine with money laundering as well?"

Is this your best effort attempt at assuming good faith?

> "parallel construction is inadmissible evidence laundering."

Well, it's concealing a source, which is what I said. If you have an informant who's life would be in danger if they were revealed, then anything they tell you would have to be paralleled. There's nothing illegal about their evidence, they would just never testify to it.
You might consider experimenting with different masks and pressure settings to see if it helps a bit. CPAPs are awful but the common alternative is surgery.

I am certain your experience was as your describe but I do wonder if the community is making a mistake by continuing to recommend Ubuntu or the like as I've always heard most stories of this nature from there.

Which is kind of funny considering Arch is generally considered not stable, but I am was able to depend on it during my uni years as well as now when I am a full-time software dev, running close to a decade without major issues in fact.
What was Eisenhower? A General. What is a General? A Generalist. Relegating "Generalists" to a "Specialization" is playing with words. An alternative is reading Philosophy: Plato, Aristotle, Pythagoras, etc. I'm reading The Pythagorean Sourcebook, right now. I cook my own food from scratch whenever and however feasible, and research the original old world traditional recipe versions of things. I also spend hours per week arranging and playing jazz music. To make that possible, I don't watch TV, listen to pop music, drink booze or play games.

FWIW, great Systems Thinking books relatively popular in the softdev community (Jackson's "Problem Frames" comes to mind) are pretty great guides to becoming a decent Generalist. In my own career hiring techies, I find better System Admins are also pretty good Systems Thinkers and Generalists, which is not surprising. Better Developers have a keen appreciation for getting words, logic and taxonomies right. Get the words wrong? We're almost assured of getting the Worlds wrong.
It's perjury. Read the other replies. There's nothing good faith about perjury. If you're trying to protect a source, get the source protected by a court order.
It definitely seems like a marketing ploy, but I'd also have to wonder if the paper container is light enough compared to the glass/metal container to make a big difference in distribution costs.
How does this work? I thought the whole idea of the torrent protocol was to prevent identification of who downloads what.

The memory management system isn't Rust's only good feature. I and others enjoy Rust's type system and functional features, for example.

You know full well the difference.
Bhutan doesn't have any traffic lights. They tried one out briefly, but the people didn't like it. They do have some programmers, probably more than a few Linux installations. Not sure if they have any Linux developers, but it wouldn't be incredibly surprising if they had a couple.
Concentration of capital is such that choice is effectively limited.

This is particularly striking in a place like, say, South Africa (even though there it's post-Apartheid, not post-Slavery): Nearly all of the land and the large industrial and commercial enterprises are owned by white people. So, the black person who now has full political rights can choose which white proprietor to sell his labor power to.
i like the sound of how its done on GitHub alright... if you ever change your URL structure, you dont have to rewrite all your pages to point at the new location, plus if you did, you could write redirects in there too... it would also allow for checking of links; if you link to newpgae.md, not newpage.md, it should throw a "compile" error... what language are you writing this in?
Except for getting people's names right.. if people don't notice something wrong with the typesetting, is it truly wrong? If the people writing and reading documents don't notice the difference between en dashes and hyphens, then in what sense is the difference important?
This is called parallel construction.

>The quote I posted has him explicitly imagining

It's him imaging things that he think couldn't be done on computers under one definition, based on vaguely defined terms. Dreyfus was open to another, more expansive definition that included things like 'holistic' and 'tacit' knowledge, which he believed were outside the scope of what computers of a certain sort could do. That distinction turns out to be moot because all the 'new' stuff: e.g. neural networks, GAN, GPT-3 etc are, while in some sense new and innovative, ultimately are running on foundation the same old of logic gates, zeros and ones, and ultimately are, really are, computable in the classical turing machine sense, which is exactly what he had spent his whole career denying. It was a limit of Dreyfus' imagination that he didn't understand that computation, even the kind he criticized, could model the higher order conceptual structures he thought were inaccessible to classical computers. He's not wrong to think that something called 'tacit' knowledge would be important, and would call for specialized approaches and new concepts. Where he went wrong was in veering to the insane, overconfident extreme of denying that these were computable.
Hmm, there isn't much info on the tech and how the cable is physically laid.

Here is a forum topic (in French) detailing how it was attempted in France [0] ca. 20013 to bring the network up to speed. A technician explains[1] that this method is no longer used on new deployments, because of an unexpected issue: hunter's stray bullets often severed the cables. An interesting video [2] is linked in the top post.

Maybe the real innovation is that there is no need for a technician to supervise the thing. But I doubt it: it could be cheaper to pay someone to watch it than to deal with the consequences of a failure. Though I am not sure the one I linked could cross pylons, and as such could be only for HV, not MV lines.

As usual for a press release, a lot of marketing speech, light on technical details, and the infographics is bullshit, comparing top-end, almost-future fiber optics with previous gen technologies (100Mbps twisted pair vs 25Tbps fiber)

There are a number of other incubators that are serving some of that role. The community is growing, but it's still fairly small.

Basically it amounts to taking audio related to self development and layering over electronic beats. I like the format and think it's a really cool way to spread ideas.
It's really interesting to me that in Los Angeles, we have every technology except for "Gunshot Detection". Anyone know why? It seems like one of the less intrusive forms of surveillance. Isn't this the thing that turns a series of cameras in the direction of a very loud sound? Seems less harmful than specifically copying down every license plate that drives by an intersection, or every face that enters a building. (Which isn't to say they should have it, just that it's an odd omission.)
It's also hard to rollback quickly when you've got a 2-week lag between when you steer the ship and when it starts to turn. I can't see how anything other than a gated approach over significant time can be preferable, unless the motivation is political (spoiler: it is).
I think there's always a time and place to do something risky. For example when boredom sets in, financial freedom is present to some degree and an idea fun and worth pursing is there. For me that's definitely not right now, but at some point in the future I'll give this a shot again.

> the coronavirus effect on the economy has just demonstrated that economic growth is fundamentally not impacted much by around 1/3 of all jobs. The labor product and consumption activity of that 33.3% just doesn’t matter.

If you're right about that we're into revolution territory. If COVID reveals that we've built an economy that not only doesn't care, but doesn't even register the existence of 1/3 of the population, the body politic may have had a poison dose.

> Bloomberg paid Igalia to implement CSS Grid in Chromium and Webkit

Oh wow I knew Igalia was an employee-owned open source company, but I assumed they were a very minor consultancy like you see lots of open source programmers running to do a couple of contracts here and there. I didn't know they were operating at the level where companies like Bloomberg were going to them. That's an incredible sign of their maturity.

I think I also read something about how they pay everyone in the company the same?
I compiled Erlang and Elixir on a Raspberry Pi 3. It's OK on that ARM chip. Maybe the compiler doesn't fully support the new Apple chip yet.

I thought about it, but the abstract does a pretty bad job of stating that hypothesis, which I think is the most interesting finding in the paper. It's definitely a bit sensationalist but I don't think you would've read the paper if that were the title. :)
As jehewson said, among large commercial publishers it's common to outsource abroad. For journals run by professional societies, it might be more common to do things in-house.

That said -- and keep in mind that this might be different in different academic disciplines -- I'm not sure that this would be appealing work for a graphic designer. There just isn't room for creativity of any sort. Mathematics papers have an extremely homogeneous look and feel, and everyone in the discipline is perfectly okay with that.

Maybe textbook companies would be a better bet -- although with its $200+ textbooks that industry has its own set of problems. That said, if I were writing a student-oriented book (as opposed to a research paper), I would welcome the chance to work with someone with creative ideas for the visual presentation.

Good luck!

> Doesn't make copying someone else's work without payment right.

I believe it is right in a moral sense. The illusion that any art is always to be treated as having a value commensurate with the effort involved (or the transient demand), is a fantasy that has been commoditized. Thats the current worldthink.

Many of us create over years and see our programs go to waste without a second thought in the same way. It has been a brutal set of lessons over the years. Media creators are no different than me and both arts are better serving humanity in the digital age where the information can flow freely in society. Software licensing is bad and media copying is goid. I believe this now (20 years later), as I always have.

Sphere packing is a genuinely interesting math problem. But it really should not be thought of as any kind of solution to a serious public health threat. Six feet apart is only a recommendation. The virus can transfer based on many other factors such as airflow, shared surface contamination, and spending time in proximity to asymptomatic carriers.

Leave such math topics for home school study questions.

“We become what we behold. We shape our tools, and thereafter our tools shape us.” - John Culkin (1967) A Schoolman’s Guide to Marshall McLuhan
My favourite in this category is the impossibility of a halting oracle, which relies on the assumption that there is infinite memory. An assumption which is wrong in most practical cases.

There's a trivial implementation of a halting oracle when memory is a fixed size - run until a state is revisited or the program exits.
There is also the significant risk that you are wrong. I haven't seen this mentioned; maybe it's obvious and you've considered that aspect too.

A short bet means unlimited downside, and if you arrive at 1/5 of the current market cap, there seems like a significant risk the market has seen something you haven't. Tesla was at $200 one year ago.

The PBGC is an insurance system. Of course, pension plans haven't always been able to pay out, but the fact that an insurance system exists for them doesn't make them any more of a failure than a savings account backed by FDIC.

Facebook built a new fiber-spinning robot to make internet service cheaper
Bravo. This is very cool. Well done shipping it without getting bogged down in all the possible features and workflows that could be part of this sort of thing.
This would be a game changer. I live in a connectivity desert (Bay Area, California). Outside of downtown SF there are virtually no residential options for Fiber. My house is 100 yards from a fiber pump - the quote to run the line was $50,000 (the ISP would waive the first $30,000). When I complained to the tech, he said they only have 7 residential fiber customers in the bay area. If Facebook really can bring high speed Internet to California they could bring it anywhere!
The other side of that is that most of these surveillance technologies could potentially be used by the population against the police and public officials.

For instance, protesters don't exactly wear body cameras, but they have been using cell phone cameras to document police violence. Many of the other technologies listed (license plate readers, facial recognition, etc..) could also be used, though it would be harder to use those things as effectively as cameras are used now.

Author here; you make a lot of good points! I should have phrased the context of this article more clearly: I am aware of the existence of these 'good' publishers, and in machine learning (my main field), the publishing is mostly done via conferences anyway.

My bad experiences stem mostly from established publishers such as Springer or Oxford University Press, who are often very important for certain application areas, such as as bioinformatics. The point about equations is very much true, though: _despite_ the fact of existing LaTeX templates, they take your paper and typeset it once again---often with detrimental results :-/

Concerning the peer reviewing: I fully agree! I myself am seeing reviewing as an honour and a duty to support my field. I am objecting to the reviewers/editors doing all this work and the publisher charging ludicrous prices to access a paper. Wiley still charges 42 USD for a PDF download and online only access of a paper I wrote 6 years ago! This is absolutely bonkers and not useful for people in countries/universities that are less well-off...
