What about GM’s role in benefiting from this fraud? By forming a partnership with this fraudulent entity:

1. GM put up no cash but received an 11% stake in Nikola (worth over $1 billion) .

2. Nikola will pay GM $700 million to manufacture up to 50,000 Badger electric pickup trucks (and a future fuel-cell version), production that will help GM achieve economies of scale.

3. GM keeps 80% of the regulatory emissions credits from sales of the Badger and can bid on the sale of the remaining credits — helpful in offsetting GM's continued sales of gasoline-powered trucks and SUVs.

4. GM will also supply the fuel cell systems to Nikola's future big semi-trucks.

Whether GM was part of the fraud from the get go, or happened to stumble upon it and willingly participated in it remains to be determined by SEC and DoJ. Given the current times, I would not be surprised the administration letting GM, an American company, keep its loot.

Nevertheless, this seems like a smart fraudulent roundabout way for a flailing company to secure public market funding, subsidies and business without the burden of its own brand or financials. Will this become a new blueprint in crony capitalism should authorities fail in prosecuting and unwinding this fraud?
It does. Set browser.ssb.enabled to true in about:config.

The US had no problem with dead 500,000 Iraqi Children, why should they care for a million uighurs?

The very premise of this article shows how demented Western culture has become. The attitude of,
“I invested 15-20 hours reading this book and, boohoo, I’m not a subject matter expert on the book’s topic” is absolutely insane. It takes a decade of serious work to really get a strong handle on a topic. Books aren’t supposed to teach you something to know, they’re meant to teach you how much you don’t know. Hopefully from that impetus one can go into the world and gain skill.

I have been a Software Engineer for over a decade now and I do seriously difficult network and kernel work right now. There has never been another point in my career where I have been so incredibly aware of how much I don’t know about what I work on. If you’re doing your career right you should feel your ignorance more and more. Books offer us something incredibly valuable, the feeling of ignorance. I can’t think of anything our culture could use more of right now than humility.

Of course, it's not above the US government to attempt to pursue non-citizens for US crimes outside of their borders, the hurdle I imagine would be much higher to extradite though.

> That's just because installing and maintaining your own email server is extremely complicated

It's not anymore [0]. However, good look on getting Microsoft's or other's mail servers to accept your e-mail. That's a big reason why even tech savvy users give up on hosting their own mail server. I've been running my own mail server for over two years now and the situation hasn't improved. My last problem was that a mail server from a government agency straight up refused the SMTP connection and contacting their postmaster mailbox yielded no response.

(For anyone wondering: It's not a problem with the configuration of my mail server, I've checked it about 10 times now. It passes all MxToolbox checks. However, I'm using an .xyz domain which might contribute to my problem.)

Can anyone explain why this feature would need to be region-locked? Are they doing something more than simply storing CC info locally?
You're not wrong, the entire thing is because of poor management decisions and poor processes. I don't really shit on specific people, more on the entire process.

> This reeks of bad documentation to me

Not necessarily, you can document your entire application, but production support only looks at the logs, and does a data extract based on what they see. It would be far more beneficial if you had someone who has a clear understanding of the application so that they can help with debugging and actually solving the problem.

At the end of the day, production support are teams who help with 10-20 applications, it's impossible for them to truly understand specific applications. They receive a bug report from the business, investigate and extract logs, then pass it to the relevant development teams. If you need extra info, well though luck, you can reply to the ticket and wait for it to be picked up again. It's no surprise companies like this move so slow.

IntelliJ rocks but you’re seriously underestimating tools like SonarQube and CI pipelines. If you’re working in a crusty old system, you will be blown away by the kinds of things they uncover out of the gate. “Strict” CI is all relative, one option is baselining your project, which adds suppressions everywhere that has errors, allowing you to track new violations and fix the old ones as you go.

Someone needs to have a talk with whoever there thinks Commercial Real Estate is a good hedge in 2020.

Why were our grandparents willing to sacrifice their life for the Europeans?
What surprises me, more than the ton of comments about Google's credibility, is that I suspect nobody even tried to get more than a superficial understanding of what the product is supposed to do and what differentiates it.
Surely I can't be the first one to notice that you can't even find out what this product does? The value proposition is a series of images, but you can't look at any one image & absorb the details, because it auto-scrolls to the next image & there's no way to stop this behavior.
I agree. Doesn't make sense to do a build right now. Wait for this fast SSD and Zen 3. Coming soon.
Oh we'll let it fester for as long as possible because our political class are cowards. We are in the peace at any price stage.
My memory of the details is a little fuzzy, but Great Britain played a role in all that as well. As I recall, they had a mutual defense pact of some sort with the US, to the point that they declared war on Japan before the US did, in response to the Pearl Harbor attacks. The US then declared war on Japan shortly afterwards. The Germans apparently saw all of this as "the writing on the wall" and realized that US entry into the war in Europe was inevitable, and so declared war on the US.

Something like that anyway. It's been a while since I read up on all of this.

I made this little comparison for myself, comparing 1 TB 970 Pro, 980 Pro and Intel Optane 905P 960 GB

970 Pro 980 Pro Optane
TBW, TB 1,200 600 17,520
QD1 random read, IOPS 15,000 22,000 73,000
QD1 random write, IOPS 55,000 60,000 66,000
QD32 random read, IOPS 500,000 1000,000 575,000
QD32 random write, IOPS 500,000 1000,000 550,000
Sequential read, MB/S 3,500 7,000 2,600
Sequential write, MB/S 2,700 5,000 2,200

May be it'll be interesting for someone. Most numbers are from specs, some Optane numbers are from benchmarks. I guess that sustained write load will yield lower numbers for Samsung, because they're using their DRAM cache to achieve those numbers.
TypeKit does indeed send tracking data back to Adobe through the domain p.typekit.net. This is also likely reflected in
Adobe's privacy policy.

Luckily, it is possible to use Content-Security-Policy or client-side scripts to block this domain while allowing use.typekit.net, which simply hosts the font files.
This seems to confirm what I'd read earlier, which is that they're cutting the TBW durability rating in half for this generation. I don't have PCIE 4 at this point, so I'm considering sticking with a 970 for an upcoming upgrade.
That's a reasonable option, I'll have to try that. My only concern is that when an anchor tag has no href attribute, the styling is different. It usually behaves as plain text, if I remember correctly, which is really confusing if you expected a link. Nothing that styling can't fix, but that's why, historically, I have always tried provide an href tag, even if it's just href="javascript:void 0".

Still, your solution is nicer in many ways, thanks.

Because the political forces, as documented in the very fine article, started what appears to be a purely political trial. The kind of which “everybody” would be outraged if it would be done somewhere without the support of the US, and for a common human more imaginable via works of art like Orwell’s and Kafka‘s than when trying to comprehend what is happening right now.

These political forces decided to make it be about 175 years.

Probably compliance - haven't/yet/don't want to confirm that it's adhering to data protection/similar laws in multiple jurisdictions?
Speculation on my part, but this seems to be much more geared towards data analysis of your environment rather than just having an SVG for reference.

I'm assuming like most things AWS, this is not targeted at your small-sized startup running 2 VPCs, a handful of subnets, and 10-20 EC2 instances. This is likely built specifically for major enterprises running a hundred thousand instances, with hundreds of VPCs, thousands of subnets, hundreds of thousands of security groups, etc. In such environments, a static SVG isn't feasible and you might want something that allows more analytics instead, which I think is the entire point of using Neptune.

You think they will stop with Tibet? The CCP wants China to be the new world hegemony. They think that their illiberal system is the only way and they want to spread it to every corner of the world. War is not the answer because it would be inconceivably horrific. But the world needs to stand up to China and stop putting up with their crap. Stop buying their crap. Start calling them out for their imperialism.

The only suggestion I have is practice, it's a skill like many others where practice makes you aware of patterns and these patterns have common or known approaches. Of course just blindly applying patterns won't cut it, the practice part is that the common ones become ingrained and you can focus your mental effort into the specifics of a new problem.

Rehearsing your knowledge of data structures and algorithms while studying algorithmic quizzes can get you pretty far, it's time-consuming though so it needs to be something you get fun out of it, I don't get much fun out of it so I have done the bare minimum that is needed for this industry...

We haven't used Spring MVC since 2015, all our services are running Spring Boot because it is the most mature solution on the market to create the webservice layer. Our Spring apps are then containerized and optimized with jib[1]. Our frontend is built on React Hooks + TypeScript, fully SPA. All the work nowadays in our company is focused on data engineering, by that I mean: databases, parsers, managing the data pipelines, orchestration, Python for creating the models and Java for inference in production, our teams consist of data scientists that are using Python and software engineers that are using Java and TypeScript.

I don't understand why people consider Spring to be overengineered. We find it very productive, time to market is huge and we can focus on other parts of development instead of reinventing the wheel. We are also considering Quarkus for some of our services that aren't supposed to run for a long time.

DOJ routinely indicts those abroad and either seeks extradition, sanctions (i.e. asset freezing, prohibitions on travel, etc.), and/or local/regional law enforcement cooperation worldwide.

> which probably made getting pulled into that war inevitable

As Japan saw it, the US oil embargo forced Japan to choose between war or a humiliating capitulation to US demands. [1]

The major takeaway is: never force a near-peer to choose between humiliation and war. Aristocrats are insulated from the true cost of war, and will always prefer it.

VPN’s for example are not adverse to customer privacy. Generally customer data isn’t worth much, so every business is balancing that vs direct sales. Where an ISP has minimal fear, at the extreme other end, a brothel has serious risks.

That would be nice, but these are ultimately US based and US lead companies. Moving work into other countries does create complications, especially with the West coast only having a workday overlap of a few hours (at best) with Europe. That really has a non-trivial impact on productivity and decision making latency.
Women of HN, how about shipping something new in 30 days?
I have mentioned it before and pretty much its an issue many have seen before, some executives take far too much pride in their real estate to the point it can negatively impact their employees and the communities they are in. Apple's in particular really came off as one of the most audacious expressions of corporate ego in years. Everything about it seemed to be them screaming "we are so much better than you". From bragging about glass work to the damn chairs in the building. It was just so odd.

The employee impact is real in that these same executives and managers are loathe to see their pride and joy empty. even my work place shocked a lot of people with a declaration that anyone looking to continue remote work post pandemic will need VP approval for three days a week; as in they don't even want to consider full remote and the previous two days with permission is being clawed back. the biggest boon for many in my work for WFH has been the severe reduction in meetings.

what it tells me is that if their claims of everyone is doing so well remotely is that perhaps they feel threatened that they don't need to exercise on hand control for work to be done, as in they themselves might be more redundant than they want to admit to.
