I’ve gotten quite a bit of spam, mostly from well known breaches - surprisingly few leaked out to become pure spam.

However, I’ve received several LinkedIn and Facebook invites to these emails from businesses I interacted with - so I know LinkedIn and Facebook (at the very least) have — at least in the past — failed to make the connection between identities.
Tesla is an immature car maker. They might have great designs but they haven't matured their processes. They haven't spent years fine tuning their QA processes so these things slip through. One off type stuff like this and designs that are generally less manufacturing optimized designs coming from them are not surprising.

I don't see why all the fanboys get their panties in a knot when people point this out. To everyone who actually knows anything about cars or manufacturing it's kind of a nothing-burger that everyone expects will slowly go away with time.
Cool project and helpful write up. One thing I wish is that the benefits were quickly summarized at the very beginning ⏤ don't assume all interested readers are already familiar with them!

I am not sure if there were any other implementations of overlapping windows on the Alto other than Smalltalk-76 (which was what Steve Jobs saw in his famous visit to PARC). The windows idea was cleaned up and implemented in more static languages for the Star, of course.

As Dan Ingalls mentions in his recent HOPL (History Of Programming Languages) paper, several times an idea would be discussed between different groups and in the next meeting the Smalltalk guys would show it working while the other groups were still sketching on the whiteboard. Seeing the idea in action would prompt them to also implement it in Mesa or similar language.
This was the first question that occurred to me.

Just a couple of days ago I needed to buy another iphone USB-lightning cable. If you want to get a sense of just how broken Amazon reviews are, try searching for one of these. It's a nightmare minefield of 4.7+ rated products that have these highly dubious 5 star ratings, but with a telltale sizeable chunk of recent 1 star reviews.[1] So I ended up having to also check various meta-review sites or other product review sites just to to buy a stupid cable. For certain product categories, reviews have become mostly noise.

[1] I tend to discount really effusive, highly detailed 5 star reviews for basically mundane products. "This ethernet cable was both highly attractive and yet lighter than others I've bought in the past. I plugged it in and it immediately started working! I was amazed!"
Born here in the US. Grew up in California. I would have loved to have it as good as our visa friend above (while in the US). Growing up poor can be rough. I can spin a sob story that literally has had folks from across the world reach out and say that they teared up.

When I finally broke into programming as a career at nearly 30, my life changed. A couple years into it, I found out I was making 80% of a new hire QA dev on visa where their salary had to be posted in the break room or something. As a back end engineer who was part of a team of 4 writing code that was earning our company over $50M a year, I was surprised that she was making substantially more than me. Turned out minimum salary visa stuff protected her from my salary.

I’m now doing better than most, but I’d expect that there are many like me who would just were/are unaware they could make it comfortably as a software developer.

Not sure where I was going. Something about more poor Americans would accept those jobs and live crappy conditions if they new how to get them. Those conditions are just “life” for many of us.
How did I know that this would be the result from the headline? It's just like the old saying. Garbage in, garbage out.
Though for the purposes of this case it is interesting to note that oracle did copy the aww api and did not comply with the apache 2 license (nothing, including distributed derivative works like their api documents, contains attribution).
While TSLA does seem to have a history of these issues I wonder how bad the problems are relative to other car makers who have had to make a large number of recalls over the years. I wouldn't be surprised if Tesla still has a higher defect rate, but I think it would be much closer than these articles will have you believe.

In general, anything Tesla related gets more coverage than an equivalent issue for any other car maker. I remember a few years back when Autopilot accidents would make national news while any other generic car wreck doesn't cause anyone to think twice.
I don't see how you could disagree on the first point though. Not only is is often done today to varying degrees of success depending on country and technology, it was exactly how much of consumer crypto got its start back in the earlier days of the internet. During the 90's technologies like RSA, PGP and others basically got built and released while constantly treading all over extremely shaky legal ground. It was their widespread usefulness and steadily growing adoption by users that allowed them to in effect circumvent archaic laws until they were simply recognized as legally usable.
That is just absolute unmitigated nonsense. Teams require more than just "people who code" and what you describe is a highway direct to disaster.

Netflix Indicted by grand jury for lewd depiction of children in film
What may throw Oracle for a loop is that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was considered in legal circles to have a strong view of property rights and many people I've read online considered her to be a near-certain vote for Oracle. Her death makes this a much less certain Oracle victory.

To quote The Verge:

"The absolute least important part of Ginsburg’s legacy is that she was the most reliable vote in copyright law cases, tending to vote in favor of rights-holders. Her loss also means that Google v. Oracle is being heard by eight justices and is therefore prone to a split court. (In the 1996 software copyright case Lotus v. Borland, an eight-justice court split evenly and was unable to set national precedent)."
You forget to mention the Broad Institute is not a disinterested party, they stand to make a lot of money from patents, and thus have a strong incentive to inflate their own claims and minimize those of others.

If they decide it narrowly I bet they overturn the federal circuits decision to override the jury (constitutional right to a jury trial, oracle waived the argument about a court ruling on legal aspects of free use when they agreed to the jury instructions) and leave all the interesting legal questions open.
A strong community of invested users is achieving these goals of trustworthiness on a bargains aggregator site I use.

Exactly, governments are incentivizing transactions: “if you borrow and spend in the real economy then it offsets what you pay us, here are a few perks to help that along.”

People also dont seem to understand that a limited partnership can borrow other people’s money, have overhead costs and also pay you a salary+distributions, but the partnership tax returns passes all the overhead costs to your personal tax return showing a big “loss” while not showing you personally made money that year because the losses naturally eclipse that. You can still buy a mansion in all cash and not be in debt and not have anything to pay governments.

Doesn't take an army of accountants and lawyers to understand that. Well, except for the people that think they need an army of accountants and lawyers to form a Limited Partnership.
Maybe it's a culture / location (country) thing?

> How does having a "professional critic" only prevent you from getting fake reviews? It could easily be manipulated by companies paying reviewers for biased reviews. Same as sponsored YouTube reviewers.

It doesn't of course, but (going back to the RT comparison) it would be a major scandal if it were ever discovered that a well-known professional movie critic were being paid off by a studio for biased reviews. A website that focused on this could keep track of and remove the special status of reviewers caught doing that. Given that obtaining the "professional reviewer" status is quite expensive (relative to making an RT account) and such people have much more to lose than a random user, I tend to trust the RT critic score much more than the user score.

If it's possible to establish a similarly robust reputation system for user reviews with no external source of validation (e.g. a newspaper/journal hiring someone as a reviewer) I'm definitely all for that! That seems much more difficult to me though. But maybe if it continues as a niche community as you say, it could work. I hope it does.
There was prism. Whenever people talk about Apple and privacy I wonder if they just ... forgot?

Dell has them at least for their "pro" lineup (e.g. [0]), same for Lenovo [1] or HP [2]. Said "pro" lineup is meant to be serviceable.

You don't buy a Tesla for reliability. You buy one to show your friends.

No other automaker gets this pass(except maybe Jeep vehicles).

Anyway, as bad as Tesla quality is, customers getting new cars from new companies should have little expectation of quality. (Although Tesla made it's first car in 2006, at when do they stop getting such sympathy?)
The batteries absolutely fail before the tools do. As long as you stick to a range (for me, Makita Lxt) you’ll just need a few working batteries between all your tools as a diyer. At least that’s what I’ve found. They slowly fall apart, but you still get fairly good value from them.

I started “collecting” tools a year ago and my first batteries are starting to go now. They’re actually still plenty good enough good enough for my impact driver (best tool ever) but they die too quickly in my chainsaw. Couldn’t say how many hours they’ve given me but it’s a lot.
If free speech in the real world created a world of "superstition, poverty, social unrest, and war" would I consider removing free speech there too? Well, no.

If we except social networks, I don't believe free-speech causes such a world either. But if I did, unlike you, I would support limitations.

I sympathize to some degree with your preference: as an abstract idea, I find censorship distasteful. The thing is, I believe social media is doing enough harm to the world, that the pragmatic thing to do is, to put it bluntly, to shut people up.

This seems unnecessarily dismissive. It sounds like you're arguing the Laffer curve doesn't exist, which is a pretty bold claim not backed up by scholarship. This is a very different claim than "the US is on the left side of the curve" which even a lot of conservatives agree with. If you're arguing against the existence of the curve, it would mean that a marginal increase from 99% to 100% would increase revenue which seems unlikely.
O-1 visas are an incredible pain to apply for, and you need to prove at extension requests how you've "remained extraordinary" during the time you've actually been working. As far as I'm aware, no graduate would be eligible unless they've produced some kind of world renowned thesis.

Let's say you join Google as a SWE on an O-1. If you just perform your duties for the duration of the visa, you won't be able to extend. You'll have to, during the visa, continue to do something "above and beyond" (in SWE, maybe tech talks/events, host conferences, etc.) and show proof of all of this, plus obtain written documentation from employers about how amazing you are. It's not for everyone.

The O-1 works for internationally regarded film directors who want to move to the US and produce work here, but it doesn't work really well for software development.
Dishwashers spray hot water around an enclosed space, how would a bathroom work?

Would teach component (bath/toilet etc) have an enclosure, or the whole bathroom? How much hot water would you need for that? What liability would there be for being inside when it went off?

Probably a tile-crawling robot would be a better bet.
This is a really great idea. Good job, it looks great. What kind of privacy can I expect if I sign in with my Google account?
"In September, Business Insider reported that a Tesla owner found non-standard parts like plastic straps and faux wood, that looked like they were from "Home Depot," holding the cooling unit of their Mode Y in place. "

I have no skin in the Tesla game. I'm not much of a car guy. But I just recently bought a new vehicle and I ruled out Tesla because of that story from last month. I was looking at cars when that story came out. I don't know if stories like flying roofs, and the wood and the other stuff only make the news because they're Tesla and maybe these things don't happen all that often, but that non-standard parts thing really made me steer clear of Tesla while shopping for cars last month. It seems like so many of these things just don't happen to other cars?

Good points in here, but I disagree about using a person's name as the From address. If I'm getting an email from Notion, I want it to show up as "From: Notion" in my inbox, not "From: Ivan". I have several companies that do this and I never know who the email is from, which adds some cognitive friction I don't need when triaging my inbox. You can put your name in the subject line if you want.
The article says that grapefruit wipes out cytochrome P450s for up to 12 hours.

One of the nice things of Celery is how it abstracts away the queues.

This is unfortunate if you want to see the queues from up close.

I don't have the full picture, but I'd move to multiple brokers first, which seems like a low effort move, then away from Celery, in order to split worker code from the rest of the application. In the meantime, I'd instrument the hell out of Celery to see what was going on and push those changes back into upstream.
I'd hardly call it a "great design". From a specification point of view Tesla is below Kia on everything from exteriors to interiors.

It's a low cost design, not a great design.
I was going to ask why the architecture needs Bitcoin at all, when it could just use a simpler identity system (like PGP), but the excellent documentation says:

That's incredible, and my support for this technology has increased greatly after reading that.

The way X,Y,Z axis are portrayed in the way that is most common in computer graphics. X is left-right, Y is up-down, Z is front-back. That's convenient because X,Y are your screen coordinates for 2D work, if required, Z is stored in a separate buffer, aptly called the Z-buffer.

Orientation of the base vectors can vary between tools, engines and APIs but the Z axis is almost always perpendicular to the screen, and having the Z axis perpendicular to the mirror follows this convention.

And a mirror certainly flips things. In a mirror image, parity is reversed, right hands become left hands, screws turn the other way. A person in front of you doesn't see you flipped, he sees you rotated 180 degrees around the up-down axis. You can achieve the same effect with two vertical mirrors at a right angle from each other. Because there are two mirrors, the image is flipped twice, and because of the way parity works, it is the same as not flipping.

One thing we can say is that flat mirrors both flip and rotate. The flip is always the same, there are only 2 parities and the only thing you can do is go from even to odd and odd to even. The rotation depends on the position and orientation of the mirror. If the mirror is vertical, the axis of rotation is vertical and therefore, it will flip left-right. If the mirror is horizontal the axis of rotation will be horizontal and it will flip up-down. Funhouse-style distorted mirrors also flip, like all mirrors, but will apply a complex, non-linear transformation instead of a simple rotation.

T2 is basically a bridge (EDIT: as others have pointed out for this term I meant a temporary fix for non ARM Macs) between Intel Macs and Arm Macs to allow for macOS 11 to work on both platforms with feature parity such as Siri.

Its probably a good idea to get a new Arm Mac as your next Macbook Pro because the T2 chip doesn't even need to be there anymore.
There are two basic reasons to give up on religion. Reason One: It's obviously silly. Reason Two: Some personal epiphany.

For a lot of people, Reason One just isn't enough. They need a story to go along with their revelation. They need to look at a picture of a galaxy, or watch their religious grandmother die slowly, or read about pedophilic priests, or whatever.

People are irrational.
There are a number of youtube channels that would (probably still will) tear down the PS5 as soon as they get one.

This way Sony gets to control the messaging. The person doing the work has disassembled a ps5 dozens of times, doesn't question any design decisions, or share any information that could be learned from the PCB that Sony doesn't want to publicize.
People have been saying that for years at this point, and yet the quality problems remain. How much more time does Tesla need?
I've found that explanation to be pretty good, as a matter of fact. The paradox seems to arise because from a psychological effect of "projecting" the directions with respect to the image "looking" back at you. Once you get people to stay in their reference frame (left, right, top, bottom above) they see their mistake.
I owned 3 Xbox 360s which all failed due to cooling issues aka Red Ring of Death. More power to Sony if it results in a more reliable system.
Had roughly the same question - was actually a bit disappointed when seeing some products. There should be a reallybuyforyourwholelife.com :) I mean cast iron skillets are spot on, but I don't see most fridges, shoes or socks last a lifetime (though obviously there's going to be huge differences between brands and types in durability). Then realized it's hard to come up with a mechanism forcing users to really post only this particular 'last a lifetime' category. Except goodwill. Though on the other hand if the site gets used enough, the reviews sort it out automatically.

Yes, that's precisely what I'm talking about. The very structural nature of lisps (you're basically editing the AST directly) makes it easy to make something like that.
