I've yet to see these carbon nanothings on the market. It's been 10 years now that we hear about carbon revolutionizing everything and it never pans out.
Here's the wisest economic saying I have ever heard: governments should run the economy like a housewife runs her household budget. That was Margaret Thatcher.

The second-most insightful saying on economics I have ever heard: The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. -- Friedrich August von Hayek

Forget the AI, forget the experts, forget the professors with their PhDs in economics. They're all just guessers, making guesses that are as likely to be wrong as they are to be right. Got that?

I don't know. Sure, if you can build batteries with the energy density of gasoline, you can build an electric plane with them. But is this really necessary?

Right now, we have relatively large, relatively fast, jet planes. Do we need that size and that speed to be commercially viable? Could we also run a larger fleet of smaller, more automated planes or helicopters? If there was no kerosene left by tomorrow morning, would there really be no alternative?
I largely do the same. Mixpanel uses this technique right now. I do not think Cassie is actually trying to reach me about webinars but if you are Cassie, send me a whats up so I know.

I still think trying to look like a real person probably makes me pay more attention. This definitely works if there is any "real" interaction with that person in the onboarding.
I think you are over-focusing on the word "consequences" here. Nobody is saying all consequences are fair play.

"you get thrown into a labor camp" seems to be a different kind of consequence than "others use their free speech to disagree with you."

I don't like it when my bad ideas or ignorant statements or heck, even my true but unpleasant statements are criticized by people who either know better than I do or worse, don't, but nobody is actually throwing me in a labor camp. I can continue to speak back to my critics and either accept their correction or continue to disagree with them.
Tesla is an unconventional, scrappy company led by an unconventional, scrappy CEO. I'm not surprised that they do unconventional, scrappy things.

I'd be totally comfortable with the wood load spreaders from last month's stories or the fact that some of the cars are built in tent factories. I don't think those issues are blockers. I do think they have a general need to improve their quality and fit/finish, but those are in some cases things that must come from experience and track record of mass production, but I think those are unrelated to scrappiness.

(Disclaimer: I am short $TSLA on the basis of comparative valuation only, not because they are incapable. For that, I'm short $NKLA.)
> The question the judge would have to answer, is the non GPLd portion a "derivative work" of the GPLd portion and is that derivative work being distributed.

Technically the derivative work is the combination of the two, not just the non-GPLd portion. Part of the argument that a lawyer would have to do is to define what "the work" is, and arguing distinction in linking technology might not be that great strategy to an non-technical judge or jury. If you present a video player what people likely will see as the work is the video player, not some independent code, independent glue and 20-30 independent library dependencies. As programmers however we might see things a bit different in the same way a painter will look at paint on a canvas.

However I would agree that if there exist multiple interchangeable libraries the argument for two independent work seems to be much stronger. There are for example multiple libc implementations, and for those one could make a case that a program and its libc dependency does not create a derivative work. In practice however I doubt such argument would be much of a benefit in real GPL infringement cases.

The wine project has a rather strong fair use clause regardless of the outcome of this court case, since it would be a rather difficult argument for Microsoft to argue that wine has caused considerable commercial damage. Basically every point of fair use is applicable here, from "Purpose and character of the use", "Amount and substantiality", "Effect upon work's value" and additional values like acknowledgement of the copyrighted source (if the API is copyrightable). Wine is a compatibility layer, not an re-implementation. Courts would naturally have to consider if that distinction is relevant but I suspect they would have a much easier time than java on android.
There are many ways to do this, but one way is to use Vapor as a proxy. Vapor server takes care of the authorization/authentication, and it routes the requests to an internal auth-less API endpoint not exposed to the outside world.

Basically you can build a CRUD app without authentication at all (only accessible by your own API clients). And then allow only Vapor to write to the API internally.

This would be the most basic approach. I think it will become more clear once I release the implementation, just wanted to get the protocol out there first.
It's a common pattern: The main revenue source (in this case licensing money from Google) isn't cutting it/drying up, so the company tries all sorts of things to try to come up with another success. In reality they're just throwing stuff at the wall to see what sticks, which is usually not a recipe for success, but you also can't really fault them for trying - when no really good plan B ever materializes so you can just go all in on that, you're left with the scattershot approach, or just lying down and dying.

Hum... As an example of what the article calls "everyone", I do expect that email.

I will not read it, just mark it read and archive. It is not the contents that are important, what is important is that your email is set correctly, and receiving the service's emails without problems. So, any future issue can be solved over email.
Doing things like that was exactly what got me into programming. The first code I ever wrote was an infinite print loop on an atari and that was like the coolest thing in the world to me at the time.

From there I made guessing games and text based rock paper scissor games and stuff. I didn't get into any kind of graphics programming until I was older.

Just being able to tell the computer what to do and make things happen with words on the screen was what got me fascinated with programming.
15-year-old me wanted to control an army of robot minions from a moon base.

Rotating pressure sprays mounted about 6-7' up that spray the shower walls and bathroom floor, aiming diagonally down. Water would quickly drain via floor drains. Besides the toilet, it really only needs to deal with a bit of dust that wouldn't be hard to dislodge if cleaned every few days. I don't think it would need to be so hot that it was an issue if you were caught inside - just like being on the lawns when sprinklers go off.

Powerpoints would need to be sealed. Room would need to be slightly recessed (inch maybe). Cabinets would need some sort of seal.

Or it could just do the shower, which is generally already recessed, has no powerpoints/cabinets/towels. In my bathroom, that would leave the toilet (its own beast), floors (easy to do), basins (bit annoying around the taps) and benchtops (easy).

If a shower had a powered, pressure nozzle, it would probably be easy enough to do yourself once a week while in there.

The toilet is the thing to solve though. My kids are old enough to leave streaks but not old enough to reliably clean them without touching everything they shouldn't!
> Right, the mirror doesn't actually flip.

Isn't the point that it does? It flips front and back.
I am very ambivalent. I love electric vehicles for the environment, but I grew up with and love sports cars. The Tesla is just too clean and clinical for me. I do have to say, though, I own a high end Ford truck that carries their flagship infotainment system and it is /nothing/ like the Tesla. It actually crashes more often. The only thing it has going for it is CarPlay, but even that can be buggy and not work right at times. Meanwhile the giant infotainment screen on the Tesla generally just works and behaves nicely. It is one thing to read people nitpicking Tesla and another to drive them day to day and be realistic. People love the cars for a reason, they are fun, have really great resale value, are very easy to maintain, and can have very exciting driving performance.
That is an absurd position. APIs are facts, like sports scores, or the amounts and ingredients in a recipe. Those are not protectable, and making them protectable is plainly ridiculous.

It's not just USB 3, Thunderbolt 3 also has an interference problem. I had to get a 1 foot extension cable for my Logitech Unifying receiver plugged into a CalDigit Thunderbolt 3 dock to prevent my mouse from freezing. My wife had to do the same with her Unifying receiver plugged into a LG 5k Thunderbolt monitor.
> Overall the PCB is not very condense. Everything is quite spread out on it... again I assume for cooling. It looks like cooling is either a major concern for this device, or that Sony over-engineered its cooling in order to prevent problems.

It's heatsink, and PSU would've still pushed the outline past the PCB dimensions, so why not to go for a bigger, lower layer count, easier to route, and cheaper PCB?

When you describe it as a "Rotten Tomatoes" style platform, I think of only having a handful of trusted people/experts giving reviews for items (IE established movie critics). It looks like anyone can leave feedback on an item, which is a little different. RT started as (and still is) just an aggregator of movie critics, not a community review site.

As others have pointed out, once you gain traction, fake reviews are going to be a big problem. It seems like the solution to that is moving towards a more "Rotten Tomatoes" style system, where only the established experts give feedback. This might start as having two ratings - "experts" and "community", but I expect you would quickly find the "expert" rating to be much more useful to people.
QAnon scares me. But the persecution is scary too. That Gelinas was hunted down and made to lose his job. That Facebook is dismantling a movement with millions of followers, a small country, with the push of a button. At that scale, being given a deadline to move off platform seems fairer.

Most dishwashers are designed to drain into the disposal, but they usually still have some kind of filter going to the sump before that line. Maybe you have some extraordinary model which truly has no sump filter, but otherwise you should still regularly examine and clean out your sump filter even if your dishwasher drains to the disposal.

The water in the dishwasher is being reused by the pump and sprayer while in cycle. The sump filter ensures no particles larger than the sprayer heads are being sucked up by the pump and pushed through to the sprayer jets, as tough food particles could damage the pump or get clogged into the sprayer heads.
This is a typical pattern for large compensation payout with little effort after the large initial investment.

Engineering Daily podcast has various podcasts that come up around this. One that comes to mind was the one with Slack. Slack had hyper-growth, they went out and hired individuals who had already tackled these problems at the same numbers or larger.

You get hired at a company, and you look around at what FAANG is using, you implement that because you can always say, "But it works at Netflix". You build up immense expertise in the project, the tool, etc.

Switch jobs, ignore everything the existing company is doing, where the landscape is going and shove your agenda of implementing the same thing such as Kafka. Measure everything.

Look like the saviour of the company. Point to this, ask for massive stock compensation, bonus, etc. based on the metrics that make you look good.

This is such a dumb point. When Ford started, horses were the main means of transportation. Comparing that to Tesla’s beginning, which was at the peak of car manufacturing, is stupid.
How to Become a Successful Programmer
Interesting concept! I left a review, tried to click the stars on the right side but it wouldn't let me do so.
> he spoke with a Tesla representative, who said that "everything was done correctly" when manufacturing the car.

Does this mean they expect a roof to fly off even when things are done "correctly"? What happens when they make the inevitable mistake?

Normally I'd say this is a PR disaster but just like other companies which command blind, unwavering loyalty, Tesla can also afford such disasters knowing that opinions will stay the same no matter what. Whether you love them or hate them this will do nothing to change it. Tesla is a very emotional choice no matter which side of that choice you land on.
I think they also benefit from the fact that off road hobbyists really do use Wranglers. They just use ancient models which have been lovingly restored and modified over decades, but they're Wranglers.

So then the more aspirational type want to emulate them, but they want it newer and shinier and with a warranty, so they wind up with the substandard SUV which is the new Wranglers.

Exactly the same story with Land Rovers in the UK, incidentally.
The NY Times prints the views of paid employees rather than every rando off the street (usually), but it is a private non-governmental organization, so it both is and is not like the others.

Exactly this. It has been frustrating watching basically any other news about this administration get flagged to death (or at least shoved off the front page) because "politics isn't allowed on HN." Then, we get an article like this and are expected to pretend that it isn't politics when it's happening in the context of the election being weeks away and while people are literally at the polls casting their votes as we speak.

There's loads of interesting news coming from the administration each day, but when only the items that least offend people's sensibilities make it through the flagging brigade, it acts as a politically biased filter.
Deplatforming basically comes down to removing unpopular opinions or those not conductive to advertising and business. While you get some nasty fishes removed, you also get a lot of other users. Mostly those you don't hear about. That isn't something I would want on the platforms I use.

If you ignore them long enough, most followers will evaporate out of boredom or because it became too stupid. These movements live on reactions, positive or negative. Your solution is to make platforms less accessible.

As @geophile said, your software requirements dictate your choice.

Personally, as a system administrator that does photography on the side, I ditched my Apple stuff and went back to Linux. That meant ditching Photoshop and Lightroom, favouring open-source alternatives, but if you are willing to put on the work and you do not care about open-source or learning new tools, there are ways to run Photoshop on Linux inside a Windows or macOS VM — dual boot is another option.

If all you care about is something that "just work" and will run both Photoshop and the Microsoft stuff out of the box, the MacBook is the clear winner. However, if you are willing to put on the work, it is my opinion that a ThinkPad with Linux will last you much longer and make you happier in the long run — the T14 with Ryzen CPU is what I would recommend.
I looked for an app like this and a few exist, but all of them fall short of meeting our needs in quality, universality, and ubiquity:

- Quality was lacking on many of them. They looked and felt like a side project from some bored dev in lockdown, probably because they were! But I wanted something polished.

- Universality wasn't there, meaning that it would work with all the big streaming services. All the ones I found were specific to a single service, provided by that service, or only worked with a handful. We watch movies from all over so it needs to support all of them.

- Ubiquity is the big one. What I mean by that is that you can use the sync service on every device. Lots of the streaming services have their own half-assed group watch feature now, but most only work on their website and not in the Apple TV or Roku or WebOS or whatever else app. We all watch our movie differently, so it really needs to be cross platform.
I've heard bad things about it, though if you bought PS4 Pro with red dead redemption 2 bundle [0][1], the noise is non issue. Cooling noise is not noticeable probably 95% of the time. I assume the system runs hotter, though..

I've taken to running all my amazon purchases through fakespot dot com first. It's highly discouraging.
Just my own personal experience, I've owned two Teslas (a 2014 Model S and a 2018 Model 3) and they both had a pretty good number of problems here and there. The S was particularly bad, though that is maybe not surprising since it was one of the first 50k cars the company built, but the 3 has had its share of issues as well.

But the thing is, I've never had any issues that rendered the car undriveable or unsafe, and service has always been a joy to work with. Every problem I've encountered has been addressed quickly and effectively with no hassle or charge. So, I'm willing to forgive some of the rough edges, and I suspect this is why they get such good customer satisfaction ratings despite the relatively high number of issues.
Why? What big crimes have been caused by QAnon conspiracy theory?

Or, is is possible that this movement may be swaying voters in a particular, undesirable, direction?
Jeep has gone downhill quite markedly now that they're Fiats. I don't have any history with Fiat but I do know since the merger of Chrysler & Fiat in 2014 Jeep has gone downhill. As others have mentioned it's become a lifestyle brand instead of a utility brand. IMO once more people become aware of the significant reduction in their utility value then their sales will plummet. But I could be wrong. All I know is I have a 2008 Jeep Wrangler with 220,000 miles on it and I found it worthwhile to drop a new engine in it. That was a cheaper and more reliable option than getting a new vehicle - even knowing in 2-3 years I'm going to have to put a new transmission into it.
> paper sent over a month earlier was rejected by Cell

Cell rejected an almost-nobel-worthy paper? Is this business as usual? Would they maybe have got the nobel price, if they had submitted to a lesser journal instead of Cell?

Can we make a rule of thumb, that in general you should submit your groundbreaking work to the most prestigious journal possible, but if you feel your work is of nobel caliber, then play it safe and submit to a mediocre journal to avoid the high publication threshold of the top level journals?
The first thing that struck me was "what about drugs that have little-to-no bioavailability after being ingested?" Would it make it possible to give drugs that are rejected for other reasons?

> when it's Google's intention that will decide this case.

Why do you presuppose to know the legal rule that the Supreme Court will articulate in its decision? I mean, you seem to presuppose that the Court will uphold the Federal Circuit on all contested questions of law and only reconsider whether the decision on the facts is reasonable, which is...mighty presumptuous.

It's quite conceivable that Google could win on a more fundamental ground, since the question of whether the API is even protected by copyright or unprotected as a functional element (which also does not turn on Google’s intent) is a love issue in the appeal. They win on that, and the Court doesn't have to touch anything else.

Even if they do need to address the fair use question because Google loses on copyright ability, the Court a lot will turn on the standard of review and the Seventh Amendment as to whether the Court is really probing Google's intent (de novo review) or merely probing whether any reasonable jury could have concluded that the use was fair, as the actual trial jury did here, preserving the right to jury trial. I would expect the latter, the Federal Circuit seems to have gone completely off the rails invoking de novo review to overturn the jury verdict.
It is indeed very much out of place. But if you regularly do cocaine it isn't, if you know what I mean.
