That is a wrong attitude since you chose to marshal your arguments forward without listening to the other party. Should always think whether theres a possibility that you’re wrong and that’s the best strategy for learning something new. If you think you’re abdolutely wasting your time with an antivaxer then don’t debate. If neither party is listening then it’s a pure waste of time and not a debate
It also puts less strain on the wire, making it last longer. This is really important in say a TV studio, where the cable that connects a camera can cost thousands of dollars.
Despite the hype, Akbar was not tolerant at all. Like most Muslim kings in India, he was heavy-handed towards Hindus but was also towards Shia Muslim [1]. He ordered numerous massacre of Hindus (e.g. massacre in Garha in 1560 AD[2], order to weight Janeu - a cotton thread worn by hindus - of killed Hindus which weighed 200kg [3], rewarded Abd al-Qadir Badauni with gold coins who soak his Islamic beard in Hindu infidel blood [4]), had many Hindu temples razed/looted and destroyed, among many other things. Despite many facts, AFAICT, India is only country which portrays its invaders and looters as heroes.

TSLA shares fell back to levels not seen since August 17th, 3 entire weeks ago. In the meantime, the company confirmed that it sold $5Billion of additional shares into the market last week. It's not just the S&P news, IMO.

Disclaimer: I am short $TSLA since about 2 weeks ago, because I can't wrap my head around the valuation and near parabolic move short-term. I do think that they are more valuable than some other large automakers, but probably not more than all of them put together. :)
Dvorak was at least interesting back in the 80s even if he was (often) wrong--sometimes spectacularly so--about some things. But at some point, he became way more about being controversial and curmudgeonly than he did about even trying to be insightful.

My beef is with the assumption that tests can fully encode the requirements - to the point where any bug would trigger a test failure. Having such a test suite is no simpler than having a perfect implementation of the requirements - i.e. it's probably only feasible, at all, in the simplest/ "didactic" cases.

Having a perfect implementation is not bad, of course. It's just not realistic.

Ask HN: Good resources for freelancing (e.g. tax, business structuring, etc.)?
I'd like to start freelancing in the near future and want to make sure I do things properly.

I know this changes region by region, but was wondering if anyone had good resources for how to get started in this space? Things like what taxes should be filed when, how to structure the business to protect myself, what kind of accounting is necessary, invoicing, etc. I've been able to find a lot of disparate information but wondering if there's any kind of centralized resource (book, website, etc.) that glosses over all the aspects one needs to understand to go through with this.

I would be careful in mirroring a site. It's very likely to violate copyright or similar laws, depending on where you are. I think archive.org is considered fair use, but if you put it on a personal or even business page it might be different. For example Google News in EU is very limited in what content they may steal from other web pages.

There's something about games as your motivation for learning to code that is quite unfortunate: Games, especially the popular ones, are monstrously difficult to write.

And I say this as a C++ HFT guy who's written a load of programs for all sorts of other things.

- Games will break your OOP tutorial learnings. If you're starting out with a game, it is gonna get mighty difficult to fit whatever it is into a set of objects. By the time you come around to an ECS, you've probably got a fair bit of experience under your belt.

- A lot of games have a realtime component. So now you need to know about performance, so that you can draw a frame in a few ms. To do that, you need an abstraction of the machine that includes things like cache misses and branch prediction.

- Syntax for c++ is probably the weirdest among common languages, and you need to know it in order to do all the allocations and type safe calls. You'll need a bunch of knowledge about how the thing builds, which also isn't trivial. (Why h files?)

- Games might have 3D graphics. Now you'll need a math course, and a bit of reading about some particular lib.

- Games tend to have multiple abstraction layers. If you need a high performance data structure, you'll have to spend time on writing that while also thinking about the thing you're using it for. You might end up mixing the game logic with your data structure if your thinking is muddled.

- You'll need some artwork. It's not as easy as you might think to come up with some nice colors for your characters. Textures, see 3D graphics.

- Gameplay itself is a huge topic straddling coding, design and culture.

- Want to play with the computer? Game AI is another huge one.

I'm not surprised if 99% of kids who thought they'd learn c++ gave up.

As for my own journey, it tended to be connected to trading. Before I did that, there were moments when I wrote code, including at uni, but they never amounted to a whole that could be used for anything useful. I think having a domain problem helped focus things a lot, in that certain things are prioritized. I still don't know how to do graphics, game AI, and artwork, because trading systems tend not to have those.

Once I got to a comfortable place in terms of skill, I branched out into apps and websites, though I don't consider myself an expert on those. That's also a useful journey, bringing in large areas of experience that I hadn't started with.

An new interview training app that use AR and machine learning
I'm sorry, but I don't really understand your comment. Certainly history has been filled with violent conquest, but the question was about contemporary religious tensions in South Asia, most of which are traceable to British colonialism and the breakup of India and Pakistan. But yes, religious tensions have existed between peoples for millennia. I am actually working on a startup to help alleviate this problem, so it's something I'm intimately familiar with.

Your narrative is also rather misleading; Islam has been in India since just after Muhammad and many early Muslims were traders, not conquering armies. "Islamic colonization" is a meaningless phrase here, as most of the "conquest" was done by Central Asian tribes with non-religious motives. It's pretty easy to draw a line from the Mongols to the Mughals (after all, Mughal is a Persian-Arabic derivation of Mongol) and the Mongols certainly weren't on a religious crusade.

Otherwise, it is an immensely complex story and situation and one-line summary rebuttals aren't exactly helpful. I'm not an expert on Indian history, but to paint it as a straightforward narrative is unquestionably false.

Are you talking about the engine automatically shutting off when you come to a stop and starting again when you take your foot off the brake pedal?

I recently replaced my starter motor ('09 though, so I definitely don't have the feature,) so I'd be wary of that, but don't they fit longer-durability starter motors in those cars?

Actually, come to think of it, (please correct me if I'm wrong) they probably keep the fuel pump primed while 'on' but at a stop, but I'd be concerned about the lack of oil at engine start. I always was told to turn the key to on, wait for the ~2 seconds for the fuel pump to prime and after you start the engine, and let it run a bit before starting to drive.

My cynical side wants to think the start/stop is a planned obsolescence 'feature,' but obviously I don't really know for sure.
Different observation, but I usually just listen to my playlist. I listened to Discover or whatever Spotify puts together and it was good for a bit, but then seemed to devolve into songs that YouTube personalities had made and posted on Spotify.

But Tesla does more than just cars. And their timing on the recent share issue seems to have been spot on; no one really flinches that much after a post IPO drop.

Personally I'm withholding judgement until after battery day.

> you may not have much of a choice in the future

I have a choice because I choose to have options, but many consumers won't care or understand options are limited to them if they don't take a stand for their choices.

If people who work at these companies want to continue to rationalize these models are ethical, then that is their choice as well. They just shouldn't be surprised when their models are pulled out from under their feet later.
From the website:

"This report recommends (on page 50) that governments implement transparent user data privacy and user data protection frameworks that apply to all social media networks. If companies refuse to comply with such frameworks, they shouldn’t be allowed to operate. Independent audits of social media algorithms should be conducted. Social media companies should be transparent about the guidelines that human moderators use and what impact their decisions have on their algorithms. Governments should require that all social media platforms investigate and disclose information operations being conducted on their platforms by state and non-state actors. Disclosures should include publicly releasing datasets linked to those information campaigns."

Yes. If we could get Google, Facebook etc. to do this. That would be great. Thanks, signed someone in Europe.

I'm sure Facebook will be lower than this in terms of awareness of adblock, considering the number of oldies there (including my relatives) who can't distinguish between sponsored content and original content.

I know nothing about advertising, but does it really matter if you are getting bot traffic if you are still getting conversions from the ads? If you know that for every $10 you spend on LinkedIn ads, you get 1 person to sign up for your service, then it doesn't matter how many mistaken clicks or bots clicked on the ad since click through isn't the main metric you are using. Isn't that why websites have so much tracking? So they can attribute an ad to a conversion rather than just looking at the number of clicks?
We are making an interview training app that will use AR and machine learning to enhance the training as well as engagement on the community.

On this service, those students or any job seekers can not just train but actually connect with the company as there shall be many self portrait videos of them which can replace paper resumes on our server.
I think the way this service enhance the interview training can be applied to any communication training such as presentation, sales talk, foreign languages, etc but will focus on interview for time being.

the beta will be released on web and mobile in 1-2 months.

> pop music lacks musicality, most of what they listed were to do with sonic tricks that are not really tied to musicality or musicianship

This is a paradox, though. You’re saying that one of the most popular types of music “lacks musicality”. The only way that can be true is if you start with a narrow and arbitrary definition of what “musicality” is.

If you examine the history of ideas of what is “real” or “authentic” or “objectively good” in music, who has been a proponent of those ideas through history, and why, you will find is that a lot of it is rooted in white supremacy. The idea is that a certain style of white European music is the only true music, and that other music is only valuable to the extent that it happens to fit within the theoretical frameworks developed around those styles.

I guess what I’m saying is, please watch this excellent video, “Music Theory is Racist” by Adam Neely: https://youtu.be/Kr3quGh7pJA
These 90/100% figures really vary by society. I'd argue that in Ireland, because of the public singing culture, there's more people that can sing passably than in the US. Like learning another language, you're much better off doing it young. I know many fellow Americans who never sing (and are embarrassed to, even though no one has any great expectations) and as a result aren't even passable at it. Relative pitch recognition and vocal pitch reproduction are both nontrivial and better learned young. Fortunately I had some music classes in elementary school that involved singing and I've been singing along to music ever since and thus am OK at it, but many people haven't and aren't.

And yet... no widely used DL library is in Julia, and they are all in Python.

It's kind of a silly point to try to score: "it's possible to write an efficient deep learning library in Julia (although no one has done it yet), and yes, you can do the same in Numpy in Python, and XLA in Python will outpeform it, but someone else wrote some C/C++ there to make that possible!"

You are much more likely to want to write CUDA kernels (in C!) than you are to write C framework code to interface with Python for machine learning.
