I cant help wonder about the economic(choices) side of this around 1) Should this victimization be taken into account when punishing offenders eventually tried and 2) Is the damage done to the content moderators marginally worth keeping the marginally caught content off the platform (recall there already is automation doing the bulk of the work)...

I do think we need to think about the side effects of laws where some US citizen demands that Facebook must employ content moderations else be liable for hosting it, it doesnt result in Facebook executives, engineers et al. bearing the burden. It results in some poor person in a 3rd world country bearing the burden.

Kind of like the environmental aspect of things I would think the best investment is in total prevention of the heinous acts in the first place. ie, it's much cheaper to prevent CO2 than it is to clean it up after the fact.

Not sure if its because I've been using React for the last 6 years and I've "fallen out of love" or it is actually starting to show its age but...

React, which was once the greatest thing to happen to UI frameworks, now looks like a very leaky abstraction.

The prevalence of `useMemo` and `useCallback` to get around perf issues,
`useEffect` to try to interact with event systems outside of React, and
`useRef` to save things that don't quite work when persisted in the component's state.

I'm watching Svelte with interest these days. It seems like we're ~1 year away from Svelte, or a framework very much like it (one that moves concerns into the compiler), taking off and revolutionizing things the way React did 7 years ago.
Oh man, I remember reading your blog when I was in grad school (mid-2000s) doing molecular simulations on HPC systems (and not really enjoying the science aspect, but I did like working on the tools), thinking that you were a great example of being able to bootstrap a business in the HPC space. Sad to hear it didn't work out.
There should be slight reduction in tuition fees. For example lecture halls need no cleaning. However the physical buildings still need to be paid for during the pandemic.
Nikola is a downright scam. Literally nothing they say makes sense or has any credibility. On one hand they claim magical technical improvements on the other they claim to have partners do basically everything.

They have not shown credible prototypes of their vehicles. They don't have a factory or locked in partners with a factory.

They are essentially a couple 100 people in an office and many of them seem to be in marketing.

They couldn't get funding threw venture capital so did the reverse merger thing to be able to be stock traded. That was great for them because their 'we are Tesla but also totally different and much better' routine works with people who don't know the industry.
A “record rise in violence after the shooting death of a young boy” is wording that the reader should perhaps scrutinize more carefully, considering the justification for sending these federal agents has consisted mainly of graffiti and property damage: https://www.dhs.gov/news/2020/07/16/acting-secretary-wolf-co...
An integer datatype would also be very useful. 53 bits isn't always enough.
One would expect a widget-manufacturer that is supply-constrained to have flat revenue until new factories are opened, unless you are talking about raising prices to increase profitability. It doesn't seem Tesla is that concerned with short-term profitability.
I am stating the definitions.
How are we to determine who came from what source the customer came from? Offer them a choice to say, "I found this book on my own and just want to buy it here, discount = -10%"?
>Quarterly revenue has not shown any growth for nearly 2 years, despite introducing more models and expanding global deliveries.

Isn't this pretty easily explained by the total number of deliveries not growing? They might be expanding internationally to new markets or introducing new cars, but total deliveries have been pretty consistently around 90k for the last 2 years also. They still seem to be selling every car they produce and aren't able to produce cars fast enough to increase total deliveries. The real question is what happens when some of those new factories come online and at what point is demand saturated.

They lost me at "css-loader". How about just import your components and they style themselves? The whole philosophy of React is JS-first and really, JS-only.
Most companies have shown big declines due to covid. Just being flat is good.
i’m talking specifically about their questionable accounting outside of the product itself.
Yeah it’s an awesome system! Similar ideas exist for controlling carbon emissions (like a cap and trade system, where, to oversimplify it, everyone gets an equal amount of “greenhouse gas points” which you can either spend on polluting or sell to others)
At some level sure there will be differences, but for the end users, unless something went wrong, they won't be able to tell much of a difference.

Blueprints for a house are much, much closer to being reproducible than design docs for a software project.

If you give design docs to 3 separate dev shops, the end results will be wildly different.

>There is a reason why engineers are required to inspect the project at some interval and perform quality checks.

It's true that there is still some room for interpretation because blueprints are still a model. But most of what your talking about is because people will cut corners and not follow the specifications, not because the specifications aren't there.
WeChat but you need a mainland Chinese citizen to verify your QR code which only lasts 10-20 minutes. Even Hong Kongers can't verify non-Chinese citizens.

I was able to get this in San Francisco with relative ease, and when I accidentally gave the CCP my address book, pretty much all my asian contacts were already on it.

Maybe also easy to get verified with the student body of major universities.

For an example, most recently, I was trying to verify a client exists and couldn't find anything on Google, but when I had the mental spark to check WeChat they had a whole business page, lots of updates, easily accessible representatives, followers, accolades, etc.
Online courses have been around for years and they all still suck.

If anything this is a boon to colleges in the long run - it has proven, without a doubt, how much worse online learning truly is. It has been around for a decade now - and it still sucks.

Yeah, and they made an interesting point about how these problems are compounded by the lack of mental health awareness and the difficulties of defending mental health trauma in a court of law in countries like India and the United States. I didn't think of that before.
How on earth does the size make any difference to the supposed problem? Even if we somehow had a stable and viable size capping system to whatever nebulous concept of "too big" there would still be people exposed to the same content. Not to mention in the US said restrictions would get a "haha no" from the courts on First Ammendment grounds against arbitrary limitations on speech by source.
The mob makes the rules, not LEGO's internal policies. That's cancel culture.
Reminds me of a personal rule I have about real estate: there are no undervalued properties, except those resulting from my personal value system differing substantially from the market and I'm planning to hold on to the property long enough to realize that value (because when I sell presumably the market's values won't have changed much).

In reality, of course there are better and worse deals out there, but the rule keeps me from thinking I'm smarter than the market and being blind to risks or problems that others have seen.
I am really surprised how solid their finances are. $320 billion is definitely over-value in term of profit/value ratio. They are starting to be valued as a tech company which is good and bad. It looks that Elon is not valuing Tesla as a tech company in the traditional sense, but a utility/car company. It builds custom tech to improve those services.

Their intellectual capital is undervalued in my opinion and may worth more than $100 billion.
No car company at this moment, can come close to Tesla, and they are all spending billions, to develop batteries, vehicles, self driving tech, and infrastructure. They are even working together as they can't cover the costs on their own.

Imagine Tesla selling their batteries/engines/platform/superchargers to every car company(like an intel for cars). They can sustain their revenue by providing the supercharger network(cloud service) to go with it; with a supercharger network being the new gas station, using clean energy(near zero cost energy). Then add their self-driving platform auto companies can lease.
Sports it heavily depends. Mega successful sports schools (Alabama for example) make money. Also some tiny schools make money by getting paid high 6 or even 7 figures per game to play as a cupcake against the mega schools as a way to pad out a schedule. The schools in between are a much more nuanced conversation and I'm not sure where the dividing lines are.
What you describe is the exception, and not the norm. It's also what usually gets shown as an example in the media, but isn't entirely honest. Some industry with uniform waste streams (zero net waste plants, etc) might do what you describe, but it's not common for municipal programs, who might have 2-4 different bins for dozens of different plastics.

And keep in mind, for most materials, and especially plastic, the recycling center pays for someone to take the material. Metals used to be a big exception, and could be used to offset the cost of recycling the other materials, but even they have greatly decreased in extractable value recently.

And even bales like you describe might need to be re-sorted for cleanliness, color, type of contaminate, or anything else. Most municipal programs are not producing "ready-to-recycle" bundles of plastic, unless it's being used solely as a filler.

With that in mind, dumping the stuff of lower value in Asia makes sense, where people can pick out individual things of value, or things that might have value after getting washed in the local river.
No worries and thanks! Reploy looks great. It's especially useful for teams on AWS/GCP who want to run this in their own VPC. Per-seat pricing makes a lot of sense for that model.

Donald is openly dehumanizing US citizens that have political views contrary to his own (and indeed, contrary to HIM).

But more than that, he is using Federal Officers to inflict violence on protestors. True, some protestors have been violent(mostly to property, but not entirely), but Federal agents are also using force on clearly peaceful protestors.

As a US citizen myself, I am speechless. How is this our reality?

But it doesn't go without my notice that this is EXACTLY the treatment that African Americans are protesting. And now, allies of the BLM movement are subject some of the same dehumanizing and violent treatment from law enforcement that we are protesting against, regardless of race.
How is that in any way better than the US government just paying the market rate for postage when it sends election mail?
(I've posted this before, it's worth repeating)

I think the current TSLA situation is simply about betting on the future, and it's easy to see why they're so much higher than Toyota. The stock price of a company not only represents what it's doing right now (sales, profits, whatever) but also a prediction of what it might do into the future.

Tesla are doing OK now, (kind of) breaking even, and making a decent number of cars. I think most would agree they're more solid now than ever before, and it seems like they're probably here to stay. But much more importantly we have to look at what they could be doing in 5-10 or 20 years.

Often people say Tesla isn't anything near the behemoth that is Toyota (true), and their stock shouldn't be higher than Toyota's. Toyota now make just under 9 million cars per year worldwide [1], exactly the same as they made in 2007.

In 2007 their share price was ~$75USD and now it's roughly similar. While they make a ton of cars and are profitable, they're not growing or really doing anything drastically different to almost 15 years ago. It's very likely in 10 or 15 more years they'll still be trundling along, doing the same things, making a similar number of cars. That's solid and good, and their stock price reflects that.

Tesla, on the other hand, are going all out for expansion. With the new factory going up in Germany, and one about to be announced in the USA for Cybertruck, it seems like they have no intention of slowing down, and plan to continue to grow extremely rapidly. In 10 years they may be making as many cars as Toyota is now. In 20 years they might be twice the size of Toyota (in terms of units produced).

Whether you believe they can pull that off or not is a matter of speculation that isn't worth getting into. That "guess the future" is exactly what we're seeing in the stock price. Toyota's stock price is not skyrocking because they're not doing anything radical, and aren't growing exponentially. On the other hand Tesla's stock price is skyrocketing, which we can read to mean a huge number of investors think they can pull off massive growth.

Of course time will tell, and in the mean time we can all gamble on what we think will happen.

(Note - I haven't even touched on Tesla's plans for self-driving, their "revolutionary" new battery chemistry, home storage, large scale storage or whatever else they're (maybe) cooking up. Also important is the inevitable extinction of the internal combustion engine. Those are heated topics of disagreement, but again, the fact the stoke price is climbing so fast shows people think Tesla have a very bright future)

Factory construction expenses aren't explicitly broken out in the financials. But cutting R&D could more than double their net income this quarter, if they wanted. What's your point? Do you believe that doubling their number of vehicle factories along with significant expansions at both existing factories isn't having a material impact on their expenses?

They are doing it because they need more capacity to increase revenue, because their ASP is lower in the new markets they've entered. And because they need local factories to reduce tariffs. And do you really think that comparing this quarter YoY is a good way to evaluate their revenue growth?
I am thinking about how a machine might expose a UI to an AR viewer of some kind. So, the scenario is: you throw on a pair of AR glasses and open the network-viewing app. I imagine being able to see UIs for thermostats, media players, audio equipment, etc. I suspect a Windows IoT device might get one closer to such a goal? Maybe not?

As much as I dislike making students paying high tuition fees, as a Canadian, the alternative is worse I feel.

What would end up happening should tuition fees be reduced overnight:

- Universities / Community Colleges would experience a fiscal deficit (or substantial cut to their income). Here in Canada, that means taxpayers' will be on hook.

- Should Educational institutions cut salaries of their staff - they would risk losing their top faculty and support staff.

Just like people rush to support local businesses and local economy, they should also support their local education institutions. After all, they employ a large number of people and have a huge hand in inspiring next generation of workers and provide lots of social programs for local community.

On another note, I often see people discussing merits of University degree / Community College diploma and often point out that Computer Science degree is not worth it. I beg to differ - the Modern World owes quiet a lot to army of University / Community college graduates who have made quantum leap in civilization's advancement possible.

Just over 40 years ago, overwhelming majority of workers didn't have a post-secondary education. But since then, around the World post-secondary education has experienced a boom and we that all corners of the World has experienced substantial gains in their economic output which in turn has led to better health conditions and a better living standard.

Can we ditch the disclaimer already.

Fair notice yes, but you do not need to post a dis claimer. This is an internet chatroom, there is no need to file a disclaimer as if it has any legal currency.

In this case: Thanks for your fair notice, that's interesting you're working on Matrix, I'm intrigued and I might have some interesting comments and it got me thinking further. But no no I won't sign your disclaimer. There is no legal effect or otherwise statute limiting outcomes of posting a disclaimer.

And why not?
We all have biases, and posting a disclaimer won't absolve you of still having the intentions you may have and bring to a discussion. That's the nature of human society and simply by being an actor you already accept this fact. So in conclusion, nope, no disclaimer needed.

Thanks to Wikileaks publishing the Dutroux Dossier in 2008, we know hundreds of snuff films were recovered from the notorious pedo-rapist Marc Dutroux.

Just because the police keep those films as sealed evidence that are never published does NOT mean snuff films are an Urban Legend. I can see why the police always keep snuff films secret. Imagine what would happen if snuff films were uploaded all over the Internet? There would be mobs of angry villagers armed with torches and pitchforks descending on jails and prisons to lynch pedos. It would make harassment from QANONs look like school yard bullying.
What specifically do you mean? On page 6 it shows that global inventory is currently lower than it has been in 3 of the last 4 quarters.
this is ridiculous. you expect people to give you their labor for free? not only expect it, but CELEBRATE IT IN ALL CAPS?! and you encourage others to not have to pay a developer a "market salary (or any salary)"?

also it's not working for free if you've got fat equity on the way because you're a co-founder - you're just taking your compensation in a different form.

so not only is this not some virtuous thing that they did out of the good of their heart, it's exploitative and should be looked at as an example of the reprehensible attitudes toward labor that have proliferated in the valley.

you're probably one of those people who think interns should work for free, and that weekends are for catching up on work.
