To me the most important part of that blog post is the bit about serendipity. Serendipity or spontaneous interaction is one of the biggest factors that determines relationships. I'm not sure if there's an official name for this theory, but I remember studying it in grad school. The gist of the study was that increased frequency in unplanned/spontaneous interactions was correlated with increased likelihood of a relationship (or maybe the correlation was with a stronger relationship).

Your friends from school are your friends because you had the opportunity to see and interact with each other every day, and get to know each other.

Same thing with romantic relationships. If you keep running into that cute girl or guy you kinda know, you'll have more chances to talk and to get to know them well enough to ask them out.

I think this is partly why dating apps have been such a crapshoot for so many people, they don't get the chance to interact past the initial swipe or chat. This is also partly why it's difficult to make friends as adults. You simply don't have as many opportunities to meet new people. And you don't have as many opportunities to turn those new people into familiar people and eventually friends.

Spontaneous encounters can only occur if you put yourself in a place for that serendipity to occur. So if you join a community like the blog post encourages, then you set yourself up to have more of those spontaneous interacts with the same people.

My first job was technical support for an internet service provider in Seattle (seanet.com). Dan Kegel's ISDN page was in my OmniWeb bookmarks (we were a NEXT shop), and got me through many rough calls.

Later in life I had the pleasure of working with Dan at Oblong Industries.

I'm such a fan of his work, and him as a human.

There is no doubt in my mind that EVs are way better off because of the pushes Tesla has done. It's also very clear that Tesla wouldn't be where it is today without Musk.

The same can be said of SpaceX.

But when you mix in the weird shit he says, off kilter predictions about where Tesla will be, petty public bickering with public figures, his stupid stance on COVID, and just general oddity... he's just a difficult figure to appreciate without some cynicism. A lot of people have trouble with successful people in general, but you add in all the weird crap and it's easy to see why Musk is such a divisive person.
I agree. There needs to be more maintenance effort to reduce the "technical debt" of accumulated laws.

Sadly I think it's not done because there is no incentive. Voters don't vote out incumbents who add too many news statutes or who don't remove outdated/irrelevant/unconstitutional ones. I think it's a lot like refactoring code without the ability to write unit tests or know if the change had any secondary side effects for years or decades after.

What kind of heat would the person or party that started this hack get? What could be the expected consequences? Going after political figures, including the former President of the US, should, I think, trigger a digital man hunt.
How is an immigrant status related to (presumably) business/political issues the victim had? Do you believe that it is safe anywhere when you make deals and conflicts with people whose values do not include lives? Remember terrorism acts in both US and EU in last two decades. I'm assuming you're honest in your anxiety, but this rhetoric sounds just alarmist. As if some cityname was equal to a bunker-like safety zone and not just street-crime protecting area. What did you expect from local authorities to do to prevent his sudden murder? Put a wall around the city and profile everyone for a week to allow an entrance? Nobody and nothing can protect you from a random professional hitman, neither a personal protection service nor a gun, but as a regular person who does a legal business in a first world you're damn safe everywhere.

It's not uncommon for murder victims to be dismembered to make disposing of the body/evidence a lot easier.

That is what I like to explore in UI design. Can you have a large number of features, a complex set of features, that are easy to use?

What you do is you use COBRA to keep the insurance you currently have and just build in the cost to your hourly rate. Companies expect top pay more per hour for a contractor than a salaried employee.

So you are paying for your health insurance yourself, but you keep the same plan.

There's still the risk of them not bringing you on at the end of the contract or terminating it early if it's not going well. But I think the upside of easier interviews and trying out a team out weighs the downside.

It's also validates the scam for other users. When they see BTC being sent they are more likely to think it is genuine. I can see sending dust to track the coins but other than that it's a damn foolish idea.
Yes, but you don't have to spend it all. You could take just what you need to live on and invest the rest elsewhere. You'd give up some of the tax-deferral advantages of the 401k, of course.

yes the DTB is in 5.7, but if you compare the dtb file merged there and the one in the kernel fork that's being worked on you'll notice that a lot of stuff is not in mainline yet, so those components are left out. For example in 5.7 it doesn't support display yet.

A patch has already been accepted in linux-next for the driver for the display and will be in 5.8, ther are a bunch more components that are missing with a pure mainline kernel.
We had a decentralized system before. It was called the mainstream medias.

The reason is that workflows are inherently imperative.

Configuration formats work well for domains where declarative programming makes sense. For example, Terraform defines "what should be done" instead of how it should be done.
Some workflows can be described using declarative syntax. But these belong to some specific domain. In this context, Terraform HCL can be seen as a workflow definition language for infrastructure deployment.

Temporal/Cadence are targeting nondomain specific workflows, so they have to be imperative. And I strongly believe that JSON/YAML/XML/etc. are awful languages for writing imperative programs. They add no value but introduce immense complexity. And they almost always embed some expression language for condition and other evaluations.

For imperative programming, any general-purpose programming language beats heads down any configuration based language in clarity and other features like IDE support, debugging, unit-testing, mocking. We have software systems built form millions of lines of code, and people still make sense out of them. Just imagine Linux kernel written in JSON instead of C.

Note that some workflow engines define workflows as code as well. Airflow is a notable example of this approach. Note that Airflow uses code to define DAG. But the actual execution engine executes the DAG and not code.

Temporal executes the workflow code in a general-purpose programming language directly without any intermediate conversion to AST/DAG or similar.

Then the question is, what makes Temporal workflow code a workflow? Is any code a workflow? Temporal makes workflow state, including local variables and thread stacks fully fault-tolerant. It is like having a computer with a fully durable RAM. Actually, Temporal provides even stronger reliability as a workflow code is not linked to a single computer is automatically migrated between computers or even different clusters when infra failures (or just new code deployments) happen.

I would recommend checking out the documentation (https://docs.temporal.io/docs/overview) and samples (https://github.com/temporalio/java-samples, https://github.com/temporalio/go-samples) to see it for yourself.
Its not hard to believe that a group with the ability to hijack the twitter accounts of some of the world's most influential people could also hijack the "posted by" metadata.

One thing that worries me about Tesla, is all the electronics.

Modern consumer grade electronics, are not known for lasting very long. And by long, I mean on the scale of 20 to 30 years.

Often, circuit boards deteriorate. Either the solder goes bad, or some resistor, or what not fails.

This is one reason why I prefer old style appliances, with minimal electronics. And I refuse to buy a smart refrigerator, because when that circuit board goes bad, then your refrigerator is now a huge paperweight.

With an expensive Tesla Model 3, that can cost upwards of $50,000 USD, then the risk of an expensive paperweight here, is very real. And Elon is not in the business of repairing old Tesla cars, since it does nothing to boost his stock price.

And with all critical instrumentation now being virtual, and displayed to you on the center monitor, then, you now have a very high risk of cascading failures.

A better design, would have been to keep separate, the critical instruments needed to drive the vehicle, like the speedometer, battery charge meter, etc., from the infotainment system used to provide auxiliary support, like the GPS mapping, music, video, internet, browser, Netflix, etc. And especially the AutoPilot program, should definitely be kept separate.

Or maybe, the people who can easily afford to spend $50k to $80k on an experimental car, doesn’t concern themselves with such frivolous things. And they buy themselves a new car every 5 years, so to them, everything I mentioned above is all irrelevant.

And a lot of people who bought the $80k Model S, did so just to drive in the car pool lane. Once that privilege is revoked, then, its importance will diminish.

This is correct. Company pay much more per hour when you are on contract because they don't have to cover FICA, insurance, etc.
OK serious question perhaps someone connected to matrix / element will see this.

The name change from riot coincided with the murder of George Floyd and following surge unrest under the banner of Black Lives Matter. What's the teams position this, are they trying to distance themselves from the protests, if so why? If not, why?
> But now you're arguing for a bunch of policies supported by various sects of Black Lives Matters supporters, all of which could be summed up in various ways as "reduce police interactions with black people".

I think community-oriented policing is actually intended to increase police interactions by adding more non-adversarial interactions in order to establish trust.

I don’t think “reduce police interactions with black people” is necessarily desirable if that includes things like ignoring 911 calls from black neighborhoods. In fact, that strikes me as deliberate failure to provide equal protection under the law, and could be even more ruinous to black communities than the status quo.

“Reduce police interactions with black people” is yet another thing that might sound like a good idea at the time, but would ultimately lead, in my opinion, to unintended negative consequences for the very black lives it’s intended to protect. Even if your ideal solution would turn out to have fewer police interactions, setting that as a goal is just begging for Goodhart’s Law to manifest itself.

Also, I think you’re minimizing nonviolent crime. DUI, car theft, burglary, and arson are all “nonviolent crimes”. We can’t just ignore them. A neighborhood where these things happen frequently is made more dangerous and impoverished by them. So when you talk about having more police presence in black neighborhoods resulting in more non-violent criminals behind bars, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If you drive drunk through a black neighborhood, you might run over a black kid, and that black kid’s life sure as hell matters so I hope the police are around to catch you before that happens.

If you’re talking about drug crimes and arguing that the enforcement of those laws is worse than the offense, then maybe you should just repeal those laws. And if I disagreed with you about drug laws I might argue the point with you.

> People who agree that some form of action is necessary, cool! But people who think the status quo is fine and dandy, that's the group where I can't quite square things

We got into this mess by agreeing that some form of action was necessary. Stopping to make sure we aren’t just making things worse is reasonable.

>How many people have died because of that lax safety attitude?

Just because someone doesn't kill someone driving recklessly does not excuse their behavior, nor does it mean they won't kill someone next time.

The rest of your post seems to be hand waving away serious safety concerns. Chernobyl and Fukishima involved the people who were in charge of the plant making poor decisions. They both played stupid games, and they were not the sole recipient of the stupid prize. Neither of these events were cakewalks for the people affected by them, or the people fighting to prevent an even greater disaster. Dumping ocean water on damaged reactor cores is not standard operating procedure. Lots of uncharted territory in both. It was not sad that a major nuclear meltdown was one of the main focuses of the disaster. Your downplaying of these events is not reassuring. This is why nuclear has a bad image. Very shitty things have happened due to human negligence and they're just hand waved away, as if they won't happen again, but they do happen again, and both of these examples could have been much much worse.

>To call it waste is even debatable.

Are you volunteering your basement to store it in? Even if it can be reprocessed at some point, ya gotta store it somewhere until then, and that day may never actually come.
They never had Tweets
Many powerful actors, including state actors, would love to see Twitter, as a political instrument, go away. It could even be our own, or a dissident group within our own, IC. If someone can get a presidential candidate and an ex-president's twitter account to say what they want, then that is pretty much the end of Twitter as a political tool.
This would make for a great episode of Black Mirror.
> Tesla's have lots of new and untested technology.

Tell us about some of these, beyond Autopilot. Because this is a common refrain from Tesla owners, some of whom believe that only Tesla has adaptive blind spot sensors, or that only Tesla will keep you in your lane actively (and not just do the pinball bumper drift sensor), and so on.

What other new and untested technologies is Tesla deploying today?
Indeed it does.
