> It's the confluence of the low profit margin, high barrier to entry (FDA) and inelastic demand. The market does not support more than five or six players worldwide. It's like that for any generic.

That's precisely what I'm saying!

If we agree on the facts, our difference seems to be that I don't consider FDA regulations "natural". They can be reformed, and then we'd see many suppliers cranking out cheap plentiful insulin.

It's hypocrisy to claim that religion X is divine revelation only to turn out to be man-made.

I don't think this logic tracks - there are so many Cokes produced annually that even if every can had only 0.1 mL of lemon oil they'd still probably be the largest consumer.
Funny you mentioned Jeep, I remembered reading the Consumer Reports review of the 2021 Wrangler, it was bad. It's by far the lowest rated vehicle there. Pretty much everything is terrible on that thing. Road Test, 36/100, Reliability 1/5, Predicted Owner Satisfaction... 4/5. I had to go back and double check that again, just to be sure. Apparently people love those Wranglers, no matter what.
Wow, great comment. I ran into similar issues that DoorDash had with Celery/RabbitMQ a while back (~2013-2014) so I'm surprised the plague still continues. It's for that reason that I pushed for going with SQS after that point.

The way I saw it, a message queue is a really fundamental piece of reliable distributed systems. It's fundamentally stateful and I would like it to never go down and certainly never result in dropped messages/tasks. Like with an RDBMS, if I can pay someone else to solve that problem for a reasonable fee, I will rush to give them my money. The next time I built a queued task management system, I used SQS. In the past 7 years I've used it, it's generally worked like a dream.

I can understand if for performance, cost optimization, transparency or portability reasons you still want to run your own RabbitMQ cluster. But my default bias is against that. So with that said, I'd like to ask a follow up question to this excellent comment: did you consider a managed queue like SQS? If so, why did you elect not to go with it? SQS even has a celery broker now (although certainly not as cleanly integrated as Redis or RabbitMQ).
> Am I being too cynical

Nope, I don't think so; battery breakthroughs are reported (probably) several times a month, but what eventually becomes available to the consumer is more evolutionary than revolutionary; we've NEVER experienced a 2x jump in battery capacity for example, it's always been incremental.

That said, I may need to take that back; this page (https://cleantechnica.com/2020/02/19/bloombergnef-lithium-io...) seems to indicate that li-ion battery capacity seems to have doubled or tripled since 2010, while prices dropped by 87%.
What is a fair tax policy, then? Because the vast majority of tax policy debates I've seen are trying to craft a fair policy. Even folks I disagree with vehemently are generally interested in fairness.
Safety issues are recalled, so you would see them regardless.

Since Tesla has less than 1 million cars built IIRC, it's actually much worse of a problem. Other automakers have hundreds of millions of cars on the road with different designs, each with potential problems.

Yet something safety critical like a roof falling off happens rarely, but get recalled.

Has there been any Tesla recalls?
It may take a bit more speculation. If it is like almost every large organization in 2020 they are under going a consolidation effort to mitigate the economic fall out of covid. You often don’t throw away talent due to a consolidation until after you determine the redundant roles. The roles did not begin as redundant. They became redundant after smooshing teams together.

This is probably on your TODO list, but I wanted to make sure you were aware in case it isn't.

Your terms of service and privacy policy are:

a) Not linked to anywhere except the login screen in very small text. Seems to be part of Google sign in?

b) Clicking them goes nowhere. I suspect you setup Google login and didn't provide links to a terms / privacy screen.

If you're going to be collecting logins (maybe all you store is an email address?) you should probably throw something basic together. Kind of surprised Google doesn't require it when using their sign in.

I personally won't login / enter information on any website without knowing their terms of use and privacy policy.

Using your example with left-to-right domains and needing a delimiter, one could build a URL structure for mail that changes the protocol but not the path.

https://com.google. for the main page

https://com.google.mail for gmail

https://com.google.mail/localpart for one's own gmail account

mail://com.gmail/localpart to send mail to what is currently localpart@gmail.com

Alternately, we could continue to use '@' and put the localpart first. The URL method of specifying a username or username and password does this for HTTP/HTTPS.

http://username:password@com.site/login

And currently we use mailto:localpart@example.com but we could use mailsend:localpart@com.example instead.
I found Surfingkeys far more configurable than Vimium. I too looked at the alternatives and think its the best of the bunch. I'll have to try those mappings, seems like good tweaks.

From garden streets to bike highways: four ideas for post-Covid cities
I am as certain as I can reasonably be. Most of the "coordination" was actually done over a picnic when we came up with the idea, and then tweaked over several other social meetings but the actual keyword was picked in my head. There's only one Amazon account in the household, using a dedicated email address, the Echo was in an unused room, and the language of the household isn't English. I picked whirlpool because it doesn't sound like anything in my native language and I have no interest in the actual appliances. I'm sure that quite literally the only way for that word to be "served" back to me on Amazon is either the most incredible of coincidences, or the Echo leaked it.
Probably not. If the grapefruit is coming into your system 12 hours after the drug, the drug's already been processed by the P450 system. I think the odd coincidence here is that grapefruit is a "breakfast food" and thus people take it with their morning meds.

This article doesn't explain what those digital proofs actually prove. Or to be precise, what kind of attacks they prevent.

AFAICT, it's at least partly timestamping (you can get OpenTimestamps proofs from Woleet). Re: that, I'd suggest reading my OTS announcement blog post which starts by covering what timestamps can and can't prove: https://petertodd.org/2016/opentimestamps-announcement

tl;dr: timestamping is much more limited than people often think, because you can timestamp contradictory things.
Well, the claim was "Graphical User Interface (GUI)", not "overlapping windows". There are many examples of GUIs without overlapping windows and even usability experts claiming that it makes no sense to overlap windows. If I recall correctly neither Mesa nor Cedar used them.
One powerful feature for the "Bitcoin transaction as a packet" approach is that it can be extended to facilitate extra input and output scripts.

Basically you can encode not just vanilla HTTP requests but also payment in a single Vapor request.

By default you can already build web apps with Vapor by simply using the base protocol. But by structuring everything as Bitcoin transaction, you can for example implement monetized APIs and money programmed routing (Implement routing and authorization based on Bitcoin script payments and/or resolution)

Increasing the Price of something by 1000s of % IS an ethical deficiency. Its a legal ethical deficiency, but its an ethical deficiency, nonetheless. The GOP will allow anything marketing rigging rules you want.

also, compliance costs for a drug already on the market cannot be blamed for a random price increase. (Particularly increases in that % price increase range) - Other countries have solved this issue, while facing the same issues. They just have more ethical leadership I guess.
Out of (self-interested) curiosity, what are you referring to with the "nvme->timely dataflow on a laptop" reference?

It's a reasonably segmented group. Charpentier and Doudna deserve the breakthrough credit they're getting. Individually Feng Zhang did more to push CRISPR forward than anyone else has thus far.

I believe a startup of 50K coders also can create something of value for humanity and be commercially successful. It will just happen in another part of the world. It's up to the US where they want to draw a line.
I'm pretty sure it's PCIE4 and requires a minimum of 5k - 7K IOPS though so just any NVME won't do.
I think it depends on your experience. I’m old enough to remember my 12 inch B&W TV and broadcast analog NTSC being normal, with 483 lines of resolution.

So I don’t mind the old stuff, it does not distract me at all.

But I can understand that if you only experience 1080P and above your whole life, 483 lines in b&w is distracting.

To expand on this there's these things called ion thrusters that use an electrically generated magnetic field to accelerate gas particles at extremely high velocities out the spacecraft thereby generating thrust. These are stupidly efficient but also very low thrust. Due to the high power usage I don't see much of an application for even incredibly dense batteries as you still need a sufficiently large power source anyway - though I'm no rocket scientist.

Google did that: for compatibility with existing Java tooling, which is software.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting everybody!
My point is no matter what your commit strategy is, the reality of what actually happened is debugging info, and worth preserving to help debug later. While debugging and digging through history I'm often asking the question "what were they thinking?", and the info that you made a commit just to move to a different machine might make me e.g. consider it more likely that you left something out, or stopped a line of development early because you needed to do the commit earlier than you normally would. Squashing tries to hide the "how" and "in which order" so you only get the "what" of what was developed. But "how" and "in which order" are valuable pieces of information too.
> 7. AWS Lambda runs locally

Although true, I have found it to be frustrating in practice compared to the simplicity of running a standard API locally. I have even seen some people rig their lambdas to accept a boolean param which changes it to a standard server to get around this.

I think lambdas are great but the current tooling needs to advance a bit more for adoption to really take off imo
Pertinent how? H1B visas are exceptionally relevant to Silicon Valley/Y Combinator, and the topic is understandably treated exceptionally.
I'm actually curious on the effects of this on international students who come to the US to study CS. One of the biggest reasons international students come to the US is to be able to live and work after graduation. If anything, this will deter international students from studying in the US, thus reducing much needed out-of-state revenue that colleges get from international students, which consequently only raises the costs for in-state students. I see the point of this rule, but I'd be interested in seeing the tertiary effects of it as well.

The most recent of these is 5 months ago, that's fine to do a few times in my opinion (especially if the owner improved it!). Those four are submitted much closer together though (span of 2 months it seems), it shouldn't be a repetition of that now...
Folks realize some of the people at Google were actually previously on the Java team.
Wow that chart is telling.

But I designed interior parts, so it's my own Engineering take. Tesla's were not competitive at all. The gaps between panels were so bad, you could stick your finger in it. That's not just an appearance issue, kids and adults will mess around with large gaps and put stuff inside.

And features in the interior were non existent. (Especially for a luxury car)
On the other hand, despite minor quality things, my wife loves our Model 3. For the price and what it achieves it is a great vehicle. I always tell people Tesla is a software company that happens to make cars. In that regard they are a decade ahead of traditional manufacturers in my estimation. Look at how low quality the software ecosystems of most traditional manufacturers are.
It seems like if you choose to record transactions to the blockchain you end up posting every transaction to the blockchain which is quite expensive; why not only store the hash of the HTTP request and use a Merkle Tree to store multiple requests in a single Bitcoin transaction? The only reason I see why not is that then the actual request data could be lost or not revealed, but since this protocol saves all requests to an internal database as well, I don't see why that would be a problem.
For what it's worth, I was very critical after the last update due to the lack of focus on Wayland. So much so, that I actually pulled my funding. However, Povilas was kind enough to come into the comments and explain their reasoning more thoroughly and managed to change my mind.

Today I restarted my, decidedly small, contribution. Even if I'm frustrated with the amount of work there is to do, I'd rather the project be thorough and really attempt to be a unifying solution to this problem.

Reflecting on this I think we're watching the wrong people.

Politicians in general have shown they don't have the moral probity to be trusted to direct a democracy.

Layoffs of technical staff at Chef after Progress buyout
Sure, but as mentioned there are basically 2 versions: steal, or modify in place.

With the former, the device is already stolen. The only difference here is that the thief can re-sell it. That's not a huge win for the user who it was stolen from.

With the latter, you need ongoing physical access in order to install and maintain a presence on the device. That's a sophisticated attack, but sophisticated attackers already have ways of doing this.

> If I expect the end user to have libreadline installed on their machine (from debian / redhat repos, and for argument sake Debian/Red Hat/et al aren't distributing my app), I think I'd disagree. I'm not distributing any GPLd code.

Well, IANAL, but I fail to see how you are bound by the GPL in any way on that situation.

There used to be a market of proprietary software patches, that fixed stuff the software creator didn't bother changing. AFAIK, nobody ever contested its legality until EULA came and made it illegal to the end-user (instead of the distributor). There is a famous guy who sells proprietary security patches for Linux, isn't there? Your example is much clearer than patches.

The situation of RedHat distributing both isn't as clear.
Do you think American citizens should be allowed to choose to work in the Bay Area and New York if they want to?
They are very much a lifestyle vehicle. They offer an idea of "mobility" and "going anywhere", basically vehicular freedom to tackle any type of terrain, even if most people never will. Very American sentiments that resonate with Wrangler owners.
Of course Tesla has dealerships. They just operate their own, rather than relying on third parties.

Not all Teslas are ordered online.
Scheme is properly tail recursive. That means that CPS conversion is going to work. Seen that way, call/cc is just a convenience feature that spares you the work of the conversion.

Introducing weaker language constructs and claiming that they are easier to reason about seems spurious, because there still may be full fledged continuations coming with CPS. I guess this so called reasoning will only work for a limited subset of all programs.

I actually think that call/cc has the advantage of forcing people to realise what the ramifications of proper tail recursion are.
Ford's had about 112 years, and Tesla's had 17.

I'm not saying that makes it excusable but I think the scale is important, other major car manufacturers have been around 4-5x as long.
Yeah. Apple's "security" basically almost always boils down to "please trust us that we implemented this the way we claim we did", with many things trusting Apple servers unconditionally — like iMessage "end-to-end encryption" where an Apple server manages keys. Such end-to-end, much wow. But FileVault was at least reverse engineered enough to prove that it trusts the end user more than Apple.

Yes. Sometimes a manufacturer will switch battery types but I've seen this more with real consumer grade products than prosumer/pro ones. (Have a couple Black and Decker products I've had to throw out because batteries died and couldn't get replacements even online.)

But it's pretty much a given that anything like a cordless drill will have the batteries give out long before (and even multiple times) before you need to replace the tool itself. Batteries are consumables in any mis- to high-end product with a long lifetime, like it or not. (Same with cameras.)

In my bathrooms, there's already a drain in the shower (the shower is recessed an inch) and in the centre of the main area. They don't clog. I don't know about you, but I don't tend to wash baked-on lasagne from myself in the shower as happens in a dishwasher. I think it would largely be dust and the like if it wasn't left to build up.

I'm thinking these things would be designed for new-builds rather than retrofitted. Recess the floor an inch. Sealed door. Pressure sprays angling down that hit the wall up to a height of around 6-7' or so. Doesn't need to be fully watertight. Run an exhaust fan during and/or after. Maybe have a linear grate/drain at the shower end, and an air spray to help push water as well as dry the tiles.

Seal or hide power points. Cabinets would need a loose seal (they're sprayed, not submerged).
