The other part of it was to be able to 'chip away' at criminal enterprises. Especially in the past (i.e. before the age of digital surveillance, cheap/easy video, etc.) it was much more difficult to get enough evidence to catch some of the more-organized criminals. Remember, for a criminal act you are supposed to be considered guilty 'beyond a reasonable doubt'.

That's a huge part of why asset forfeiture is civil and based on 'presumption of guilt'. Remember, the only thing they every got a solid conviction on for Al Capone was Tax Evasion. Unfortunately it is a system that provides perverse incentives for law enforcement that have been abused more and more over time.

Children only have a certain amount of time in school. We can't just keep adding subjects that everyone needs to learn. Kids already spend a massive amount of time in school and on homework, so something's got to give if we want to add to the curriculum.
Funny, I was just thinking about this the other day when I wanted to convert a bunch of JSON into YAML.

There were a number of online tools that did the conversion. The first thing I did was test them with dummy data to make sure it was fully client side and worked offline.

Can't be too safe if you're planning to run these tools on data that is protected by contract or NDA. Even if it's not, I still wouldn't want a third party site saving and potentially doing something with the data.
It seems like we're really far down the "arguing semantics" curve at this point.

The practical consideration is: These APIs are only supported by one browser. Other major browsers have announced that they have no intention of supporting them. Therefore, use them with caution. If it's an Electron app and nothing but an Electron app, you're probably good to go. If, OTOH, it's a web page or site, and you don't want to alienate non-Chrome users (which would include all iOS users), then you should make sure you aren't doing anything janky when these APIs aren't available or don't work as advertised.
We were given a similar choice at that age (in Germany).

Due to all my previous negative experience, I chose to sort-of-quit PE altogether. It was impossible to actually quit, but you could compensate it with an equal amount of extra credit, so I happily replaced it with Arts credit.

Surprisingly, no one as much as batted an eyelid at that. The snobby attitude of "who needs PE anyway" was certainly prevalent in my age group.
Another argument for justifying the run up in price is that investors see the promise of TSLA being more than just a car company. The future of the Solar City division means that part of the company can be viewed almost as a utility co. There is a data play too. With an ever growing volume of Teslas on the road, all stocked up with the very latest in sensor technology, the company collects tons of valuable data not just for maps but also for Real time road conditions and traffic. At some point, they may find lucrative ways of monetizing that. Then we look at just the trends for their core product, the cars. The crazy thing that Tesla is doing is turning all other luxury cars into Cadillacs (ie products for old people). They are doing the same thing to Mercedes and BMW that the Apple Watch did to Rolex. If you want to signal that you are part of the new rich, you buy a car that shows off power + environmental friendliness. With the flight out of major cities in the US, Tesla is going to be a pretty popular choice for new car buyers that just landed in the suburbs.
At this point in its life the Sun is in equilibrium: it loses mass (which would make it smaller), but this decreases its gravity and pressure (which makes it larger), and these two effects cancel out almost exactly. So the Sun will remain approximately the same size for another 5 billion years or so, until the next phase of stellar evolution.
I’m not sure what you’re talking about, to be honest. First, what does this have to do with the type system? Second, C++ typically uses vectors, which know exactly where they end, with the option to use an indexing into them that will throw an exception if you try to access them out of their range. C certainly does not have that.
I mean... doesn't that same sheet of published specs state that it's running at 5400 RPM?

If they lie about that on their spec sheet, how can you believe the power/noise levels written on there?

Also, I've always had a fair amount of scepticism for digital product spec sheets. I've been looking for a projector with low input lag for a while, and the measured value has constantly been way off the claimed value (> factor of 2). Admittedly, this seems to most often be the case with some of the cheaper chinese brands, but definitely not exclusively.
Here's the "model" that justifies a price target of $600: Vols x Price - Costs - Taxes = Net Income

Net income is traditionally defined as Revenue - Expenses.

From what I can tell, the Twitter formula is deriving net income from the market price of the stock, which is flawed.

It sounds to me like your threat model here is that two sites (A and B) which would like to share identity, and you want to stop them? Perhaps A has identity (for example, you log in), A gives you links to B, and B runs some third-party JavaScript served from A. For example, A could be FB/Google/etc and B could be a news site. Site A can add any query parameter it wants to the outgoing link, and then parse it on B in their third-party JavaScript. If they always used the same params (ex: fbclid/gclid) it would be easy to detect and block, but if they were trying to get around the blocking it would be easy to rotate these parameters as often as they wanted because the same entity (A) controls both the producer and the consumer. Now your two identity bubbles have been joined.

I had an interview where the tech lead was typing on her computer the whole time and didn't seem to focus at all on the interview. At one point she asked me a question and went straight back to typing. When I was done with my answer she didn't even acknowledge it - the manager had to jump in and ask me another question after about 10 seconds of silence.

They offered me the job. I turned it down. The manager was surprised and asked me why. I told him about that part of the interview and that if she wasn't able to give me any attention to even acknowledge my answer to her question, then I doubt she would give me enough to guide my work or lead me. The manager gave some weak excuses and practically begged me to take the job, even contacted my current manager at the time to pressure me. I still declined. No way am I willing to jump in that dumpster fire of a team.

One of my favorate quotes ever comes from an old article about BSD development, and contributor's code in general:

People repeatedly report quality issues with Teslas. Not some minor stuff but stuff like rain getting inside.

I'd put a big question mark next to this one, because they don't use LIDAR. It's laudable that they want to build camera-only autonomous driving systems, because that makes them more affordable, but this has a cost in quality/performance.

> The article claims that Tesla valuation is not based on fundamentals but it fails to present any fundamental model.

> If they keep growing at 30-50% for the next 5 to 10 years

What makes it a bubble is the above statement you just made which sounds reasonable but is actually absurd. I'm curious how in year 10 Tesla will grow 50%. Do you have any idea how big that number is? How will that be accomplished?

Curious, I just ran math on Tesla growth at 50% for 10 years. That means Tesla's revenue will be 1.2 trillion dollars and in year 10 it will GAIN 461 billion dollars worth of revenue growth.

For comparison's sake, in 2019 Telsa revenue grew 15% (by 3 billion dollars) to 24.5 billion.

I've listened to the bulls continuously say things Tesla can double every year for the next 10 years and so on, but there is no path there. It always involves moonshots like self-driving taxis, a new eletric grid powered by Tesla batteries ect ect. All of these are super low margin businesses with heavy competition that require heavy investment with unexpected payoff.
In countries with massive income inequality, public parks are usually the only places where everyone can congregate, regardless of income or status. I go for a walk in the park near my house and I see people hanging out there whose daily incomes are less than the price of a coffee and a sandwich at Starbucks.

I think that's worth saving.

He claimed he was innocent, and I think I believe him.

My therapist does some work in the state prison system, and he told me once that most prisoners go through the full 5 stages of grief usually within a couple of months. And by the end of those stages of grief, it is no longer painful for them to accept and openly admit that they committed a crime. He can only recall two long term prisoners that he worked with that refused to admit guilt after a year in prison...one of them has already been fully exonerated (not commuted, but actually cleared of all guilt), and the other was recently granted a retrial. Anecdotal, sure, but I find it believable.

The driver wasn't drunk. He refused a breathalyzer (and presumably a field sobriety test) which is what every defense lawyer worth a crap will tell you to do (and there is a very good chance he was advised to do in the future by his lawyer when he received his first DUI). Because there was a solid 10yr when the public lost its minds about DUI the public treats anyone who is accused of DUI as though they don't have any rights so the police felt they could regularly abuse civil asset forfeiture against DUI defendants. They basically see it as a no-risk way to extract money the same as picking on drug dealers.

I've occasionally looked at the favorites of highly active users (e.g. the list of karma leaders), and I've rarely found other users to have used the feature. As for me, I love using it – it has the right amount of friction such that I only end up using it for things that really are my favorite. I never look through my own upvote history. But whenever I need to find something that I remember being great, it's almost always in my favorites list.
> Or do you also want to include the fringe engines like kHTML, Trident, links, etc too...all of which also wouldn't run the APIs in question?

Don't try to get me to defend a point that I never made in an argument that I never weighed in on. The only point I was making was to correct the more-than-implied false claim that we have "2 browser engines". And I think I made it clear by pointing out that WebKit is bigger than Gecko that if Gecko is a valid consideration that WebKit cannot be considered "fringe".
That’s a failure of checks and balances. If the same people are in charge of all sides it’s really just a one party system.

The US constitution was not designed for political parties. If it it was you might see things mostly the same except the house was elected based on national vote for proportional representation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proportional_representation Which would result in more fluid party representation.

You don't even have to change any of the movie. Morpheus can believe in the battery thing. He can tell everyone this because it's what he's been told, because it's what the person before told, etc.

This mindset is prevalent in the senior management ranks and I'd say this mindset is a prerequisite to climb the social ladder. Poor people believe in rules and think that good behavior will get them a better life. Rich people know that there are no rules, only competition, and every move, including breaking a "law", has a risk-reward ratio. Our current US administration is a caricature on this mindset.

Hi HN, long time lurker, first time poster. We've been working on a new funding model for the web as we believe content creators should be paid for their hard work. satotious.com is a unique twist on paywall, users can access content by viewing ads or with micropayments(on the Bitcoin Lightning Network).

We think the time is right to try micropayments again as an increasing amount of content is going behind subscriptions and ad revenue is declining. Reasons we are different:
1. We have a free option with ad views.
2. We run on the Bitcoin Lightning Network as it makes micropayments feasible without the need to track users.
3. We tackle cognitive cost associated with micropayments with our browser extension/app which can auto-pay the paywalls.

For more details of our vision have a look at our site and blog posts, satotious.com. Right now we're in beta and are looking for content creators, no matter how big or small, please get in touch: ruby@satotious.com

You can test out the paywall on our site, all feedback welcome :)
On my MacBook, I create a separate conda (Anaconda) environment for TensorFlow.

A few years ago I bought a System76 laptop with a 1080 GPU. I rely on the System76 update system to keep Python + CUDA + TensorFlow all up to date. I manually install PyTorch for when I need it. This works well because I only use this laptop for deep learning.

Among the many horrible things that happened in the last months because of COVID, the new-found possibility of a different type of working is not one of them. If your job allows you to do so, remote working is a great opportunity that many people will benefit from. Whether you are looking for a longer change of scenario (as you said a couple of months in some unknown country) or spending a couple of weeks in your home town, close to the people you love.
I obviously see the downside of remote working, but as far as it concerns me, the benefits overcome them, and I would definitely spend a some time in a country I've never been before as soon as the pandemic is over.
Also, positive side, the pandemic will be over eventually, but I do believe that this new perspective entered permanently into our lives (for the better).

While this may exaggerate the case, it will continue to largely be true so long as we relegate huge portions of our population to 2-3 jobs while the VC system sustained in part by Ycombinator rewards capital formation to a degree that is damaging to society.
