Wouldn't that suggest then that the "ideal" way to do it is a very part time job then with high volume? Like say 5 hours a week. It would be a scheduling and logistical nightmare of course but it would give more "dispersion time" for trauma.
>Tesla posted positive free cash flow (CFO - capex) for 4 of the last 5 quarters

Can you explain how their capex is decreasing as they build out more factories and invest in new technology? Seems odd, doesn't it? Yet is sure makes that cash flow number look good. These are the kinda things that analysts consider red flags.

>it the only company with increase in # of deliveries among the 10 largest autos globally

Do you think this is a reasonable comparison when Toyota builds as many cars in a few days as Tesla does in a quarter? Tesla can futz a few thousand cars with a fleet sale or inventory build and drastically change their growth trajectory.

By the way, what's a "delivery"? I don't think I've ever seen them define it. I would assume it means "car delivered to customer", and yet they build inventory. Very opaque.
The timer itself is a CSS animation with 1000 keyframes evenly spread, that runs once for 999s (just realized it should be running for 1000s, oops!). I can't link to lines in the source code because of the 1.23MB filesize but you can search for "timer" in the raw source to see the relevant code: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/propjockey/css-sweeper/mas...

Here's the part that controls when the animation is running:

#level-none:not(:checked) ~ #ram #timer::before {
animation: timer step-end 1;
animation-duration: 999s;
animation-fill-mode: forwards;
--pause-if-won: var(--win-state) paused;
--pause-if-lost: var(--game-over) paused;
--pause-if-randommenu: var(--randommenu-visible) paused;
animation-play-state: var(--pause-if-won, var(--pause-if-lost, var(--pause-if-randommenu, running)));
}

Though the design is responsive to the width of the window, I suspect you mean how slow it is: it's 1.23MB of HTML + CSS, and clicking anything causes almost everything to redraw. It's only a little laggy on my computer but the idea was to test the limits of what's possible and is expected! :)

My comment wasn’t whether it was poor taste or not.

I think saying the president is clearly supporting white power because he tweeted this video is incorrect. This video does not support white power. I don’t think it’s intent is to further white power. I think representing its purpose as promoting white power is incorrect, or misleading, or confusing, or anything other than accurate and truthful.

But I agree about the poor taste comment. But I think there’s a big distinction between a rude person and a white supremacist.
YAML will never be a sane format for machines to talk to each other. There are just too many ways to interpret it. It's not even really a good human-readable format.

Maybe something like TOML? It's very human-readable and simple. But it's not a very good serialization language.
Maybe it’s me but what I read in that paragraph is:

If you use the SRD, you are required to report any vulnerability. If you didn’t, you are not required but encouraged.

It doesn’t say if you used it you aren’t eligible for reward
So glad you liked it :)

To be equivalent to the gravitational impact of Neptune the mass would have to be about 70,000 times the mass of Neptune. This is more equivalent to trying to find Planet Nine [0], which, although was also “discovered” through gravitational effects, those effects are much subtler and the planet might not exist and if it does, hasn’t been found.

You should tell this to your therapist and see what happens. To me I've learned a lot following this line of thought.

For you, it sounds like you think that the therapist "might just be doing it because I'm paying them", and that their emotions care towards you might not be genuine? Maybe that you want a kind of selfless care and the monetary aspect would make it feel less selfless or sincere?
It's also almost certainly setting up for an anti-trust fight over the app-store. See Apple v Pepper from last year allowing a suit to go forward about the App Store and lot of other anti-trust news against the tech sector in general.

Pretty odd to consider that every other carmaker, obsessed with optimizing their business, would rather pay Tesla straight cash than rush out an electric drivetrain car. Across the Taycan, i3, and Bolt, there’s certainly plenty of evidence that they can.

I think it'll surprise you how long it lasts. These big car companies take a long time to change in a meaningful manner and every month they spend trying to do that is time Tesla is advancing themselves.

The (and rewards) bit isn't saying that SRD users are ineligible for rewards! Rather, it's trying to encourage non-SRD users to report vulnerabilities they find. If Apple explicitly stated that SRD users are ineligible for bounties, I'd be pretty confident Apple has lost their minds, as the SRD devices would be completely worthless to vulnerability researchers - only serving to contractually restrict them, and offering no practical benefit.

To show that "you aren't eligible for bounties on any bugs you find while using it" is false, let's break Apple's quote into two separate statements, and only consider things that are explicitly stated in them.

First:

> If you use the SRD to find, test, validate, verify, or confirm a vulnerability, you must promptly report it to Apple and, if the bug is in third-party code, to the appropriate third party.

If you use SRD in the process of discovering a vulnerability, you have to disclose it to the software authors. Got it.

Second:

> If you didn’t use the SRD for any aspect of your work with a vulnerability, Apple strongly encourages (and rewards, through the Apple Security Bounty) that you report the vulnerability, but you are not required to do so."

If you don't use SRD, Apple strongly encourages you to report the vulnerability. But they have no way to force it.

I understand how a casual interpretation of those quotes could be seen to imply that SRD excludes you from bounties, but that's not what Apple is saying.
They’ve lost a $7500 subsidy in the US during that time period, and just recently had Coronavirus. So it’s not that surprising.

No, they are imaged in reflected light, rather than a transit (silhouette).

The parent star is masked off, and I’m pretty sure it’s an image generated from multiple telescopes, “interferometry”, as others have mentioned.
It's super hard to put together because you have to first do a factor analysis to even decide what the component parts are. I've always brute forced it using the (admittedly difficult) Excel function and the underlying dataset is not pretty!

> When your spending 100k on a car you expect Mercedes type of luxury

This is the old way of thinking, and it illistrates perfectly why the other auto manufacturers have been caught flat footed re EVs.

For many decades what you said held true - more money on a car meant a higher quality interior.

Now things have changed dramatically, because what we thought of as a "car" has changed so much.

You can now spend 100k to get a car that never emits a single toxic chemical while being used. A vehicle that much cheaper to drive and own. A vehicle that requires significantly less maintenance, a vehicle that is silent and less fatiguing to drive, etc. etc.

This are all the reasons besides "I got a more luxury interior", and they're the kind of reasons that make an EV compelling.

While I agree with you, the term "computer science" has not had a consistent definition over the years.

I have a degree in "Computer Science" (1987) but it was not a math program. It would not surprise me to learn today that there are many existing "computer science" programs that are not math degrees.
Well yes, that is the point. Tesla's deliveries have been limited by their production capability for a while now. If the problem was a lack of demand, you would expect inventory to grow or production to slow, but neither of those have happened (beyond a slight decrease in production due to COVID related closures).
The potential upside for Tesla is huge. If they can become the Apple of electric cars and if electric cars become standard, they could be worth trillions. The reason their valuation was not in the trillions is because there is a risk that they will go bankrupt, that other companies will take the lead in EVs, or that EVs will not be where the market is headed in the foreseeable future. The reason for the jump in valuation is that those risks are being steadily reduced. EV competition is scarce, Tesla's cash reserves and consistent free cash flow hugely reduce the risk of bankruptcy, and the market is continuing to demonstrate that it wants electric cars (at least Tesla electric cars, that is), even during a pandemic. There is certainly an element of speculation and retail investor FOMO, but if Tesla's institutional investors didn't think this valuation could be justified at all they probably would have sold by now. Time will tell how reasonable the valuation really is, but betting against Tesla has not worked out very well so far.

Tesla's IPO price was $17. So you got in right on the lowest price the stock has ever been and never bought another share since? Amazing.
Not being an office 365 user, how is it any different than other software? For instance, I believe the LibreOffice installer defaults to install all the modules. But I can change it to just install writer and calc.
If Tesla cars were really in high demand, and supply was the problem then I would expect them to raise prices, thus increasing revenue. They haven't done that, which means Tesla's are probably not as sexy cars as they try to paint them.
I think the best counter to becoming desensitized or depressed is having an over arching sense of mission and identifying your work with a cause for good that is greater than yourself.

take ER doctors. they daily witness human trauma far worse than viewing horror show videos and images. do you ever hear about ER docs who become depressed or mentally ill from being exposed to so much horrific human suffering? Doctors have a personal sense of doing good in the world through healing. They witness so much trauma that they become so desensitized that non doctors often criticize them for seeming so detached and for treating human bodies like mechanistic processes. But doctors have to be somewhat detached in order to do their jobs well.
Ask HN: Help me break my P2P C++ library
Hi everyone,

I've been working on a project called QuantumGate for at least the last 3 years and the project is making some slow and steady progress. I'm looking for cryptographers and hackers who would like to take a look at it and give feedback, and especially try to break it.

The project and C++ source code (MIT licensed) is on GitHub (https://github.com/kareldonk/QuantumGate/) and the wiki there has a lot of detailed information on it including examples and tutorials.

I published the first alpha release yesterday that includes pre-compiled binaries for those who want to quickly try it out without having to build everything from source code (with all the dependencies etc.). There are some test applications included that you can try that I mainly use for testing purposes.

Thanks.

If you use a new cloaking image for each picture you upload to social then they will all be embedded in a different location for a given feature extractor and an adversary wouldn’t be able to reverse search for linked pictures—that’s at least my understanding of how the method would need to be used. But if you keep using the same cloaking image, your adversary could definitely learn that process and effectively undo it.

There was an article I came across where a black startup founder was frequently mistaken as a regular employee while his white co-worker was mistaken as the CEO. On multiple occasions the unaware person shook the hand of the white co-worker, ignored the true startup founder, and so on.

"Adding to the insult, [Will] Hayes finds himself at a distinct disadvantage in meetings that open with a case of mistaken identity. Venture capital is based on relationships, and investors aren’t typically primed to write a check when they feel unsettled. “You see it in the body language, you see it in the lack of questions and engagement,” says Hayes, 39. “They can’t wait for this meeting to get over.”

For nearly four years, Hayes would attend investor meetings alongside [longtime colleague] Messick, the former chief marketing officer at Lucidworks. VCs are trained to look for patterns in startup founders, Messick says, and there aren’t many Black Mark Zuckerbergs. 'Years and years of a Black guy and a White guy walking in the room, and the White guy is the CEO,' Messick says. 'Whether malicious, whether negligent, it was always awful.'"

I learned a lot reading this, thank you!
That's actually really nice. It does appear that Rust will peel all the layers away when opt-level is 2 or higher. I could live with that. You can (re)set the value from anywhere, but at least it has to be marked unsafe. Fair enough!

When I tried to do this a couple years ago (with mem::uninitialized), I failed to get something usable. I think I was also concerned that having to use unsafe for the reads would prohibit compiler optimizations, even if it could be wrapped in a safe wrapper as you did here. Maybe that was worrying for nothing. Maybe it's time to try Rust again.
In this context, it's relevant to note that the VLT was built with interferometry in mind, and they are now getting it to work reliably. See for instance the page about the GRAVITY instrument: https://www.eso.org/public/teles-instr/paranal-observatory/v...
> "The list goes on in terms of growth & profitability"

It better. Tesla has a market cap of 4x that of VW, a car maker with €256bn revenue and ~€17bn profit in 2019.

It is beyond me why anyone would buy this stock over VW, let alone pay 4x the price for it. Even if Tesla could put out 900K cars in a quarter instead of the current 90K, they'd still not come even close to the competition is terms of financial success.

Tesla would need to utterly dominate the car market to live up to its current valuation. Dominate as in market share, not relative quarter-to-quarter growth.

I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here, but trying to make a point that a new product "copied what [you] are doing" just seems inappropriate. Is there perhaps a better way that this could have been phrased?

Both products operate in the same space, and are attempting to solve similar problems, but as far as I can recall Release attempts to manage all environments from dev -> production, while Reploy is specifically targeting the developer experience around managing and sharing staging environments.

The concept of dynamic staging environments is not new; I've personally built in-house solutions to solve this problem years ago, well before Release went through YC. It's not really fair to say that anyone who comes out with a similar product is "copying Release".
