Neither CNN nor Fox is quality journalism, "quality" being the adjective you left out.

The NYT also issued an apology for their coverage about WMD which was not rigorously fact checked. One of the reporters, Judith Miller, later joined Fox News.

Quality doesn't mean 100% correct all the time, it means significantly better than the alternative.

Comparing the coverage of different sources is part of how you can reach your own conclusions, instead of blindly adopting whatever opinion is broadcasted to you.
It's exceedingly verbose, but decent, if you have a recent language version and/or Boost.
I'm really disappointed in these sorts of low-effort responses because they seem to be interested in shutting down discussion without allowing for any differences of opinion.

The idea that animals should be revered and never used as food is an opinion, not a fact. One can be sympathetic toward the treatment of animals raised for food, and advocate for better treatment while still consuming animal products.

The funny thing is that your comparison is also just flat-out wrong: the technology in question is also in part a product of empathy! Yes, there are efficiency and cost concerns around incubating eggs to maturity where the (male) chick will just be discarded, but there's also a strong empathetic argument that terminating an egg shortly after fertilization is much more humane than killing male chicks after birth.

This isn't a question of knowing a service is down. We're assuming the team that is fixing the service, knows it is down. It was a question of not having the resources to direct literally any other person in the org to log into an admin panel and flip a toggle from green to red.

You can change this behavior of the widget (data-start="auto" instead of default data-start="focus"), or you can start it programmatically.

The reason you wouldn't always want to start it in the background is if the user may not intend to submit the form (perhaps it's a form that is in your footer of every page and only a small percentage of users intend on sending it). Starting it on focus of the form is a good default.
That's the new story from "Battery Investor Day" after they failed to deliver on the big promises of "Autonomy Investor Day." Now they say autonomy isn't important and everyone else will get it within a couple years of Tesla anyway (meanwhile others are ahead).

Some newer game companies are using Blender, I think. It's definitely making inroads -- I've seen it mentioned in job postings. But larger companies tend to have decades-old pipelines that tightly integrate Maya/3DS/etc, so they're not going to switch any time soon.
C2x is expected to gain the char8_t type and almost certainly will not gain any new string handling routines. In the year 2030 I am expecting to still see more rounds of posts comparing string libraries for C. With more than 4 decades of development, we still don't have a great solution to string handling in C.

Every library like this is incompatible and most make slightly odd choices like in this library ownership of the string is denoted by a bit in the info/size field. Not that that is a bad choice or anything, but it is one reason someone might decline to use it and decide to write their own.

The lack of namespacing in C doesn't help, this library chooses str_ as its prefix, which is a bit likely to collide with other libraries. It also makes it harder to try to write libraries that allow for the string library to be switched out.

My comment was in the context of the assertion that a team that knows the service is down and is fixing it is too busy to update the status, therefore no one else can update this status. Certainly it is understandable that if the issue is unknown that status cannot be updated.

Amazon was at least aware enough to recognized that AWS circular dependencies were a bad thing. From what I heard they had to make changes. A big problem is the largest services like S3. If part of S3 were to use DynamoDB and DynamoDB used S3, then if one goes down, they might never restart either service. There is strong manager incentive at Amazon to build on other services as a way to ingratiate with other managers and VP's in the company. Unfortunately it leads to circular dependencies.
Not at all. WiFi worked out of the box. However I had to use the i915kms driver from ports as I could get the video working as it was with the previous version of FreeBSD that I was using (I can't recall the version). These are the steps that I had to do after trying many i915kms drivers (both the basic one included and also the ones available from pkg):

1. Get the ports.

2. cd /usr/ports/graphics/drm-kmod; make install

3. Add: kld_list="${kld_list} /boot/modules/i915kms.ko" in /etc/rc.conf

4. Optionally install the `mesa-demos` package and run `glx-gears` to test acceleration.

I think there were some changes to the i915kms driver because the previous version I was using (non-stable) the driver was working absolutely fine. Hope that helps if you're experiencing the same issue!

There is a comment on the article that is spot on - why the hell would you make an electric JET? Especially for lower altitude / shorter hops? It honestly makes no sense.

In a prop or turboprop application, the energy is sued to turn a prop, and waste energy (exhaust gases) don't really play a role in energy generation.

In a jet, you accelerate the air in the core. Is it even REMOTELY efficient to accelerate air this way using electric power?

Boeing didn't put that much money into them, if their tech was as amazing as they describe, why not go ahead and get other funders?

Finally, the go on about their patents. I took a quick look. Pretty trash - generalized system design patents.

"System and methods for implementing regional air transit network using hybrid-electric aircraft"

"Systems, apparatuses, and methods for overcoming the disadvantages of current air transportation systems that might be used for regional travel by providing a more cost effective and convenient regional air transport system."

This is hardly the type of stuff that gives you a big breakthrough.
Some people point to Tesla's margins, which are very high by industry standards. However, IMO these margins will decrease as real competition ramps up and the market turns further from performance/enthusiast to true mass market vehicles.

I don't know if that is a typo given you normally call them "fat pointers", but they are "pretty hot and tempting".
The whitespace craze is directly at odds with Tufte-ite principles on good information design - for knowledge workers there is a delicate balance between establishing hierarchy via whitespace and producing visualizations which are appropriately dense with information. My guess is that the root cause as usual comes from designers not being consumers of the product - if they were, this trade off would be obvious.

Think of Bitcoin like your savings account, moving the entire account happens within an hour. 2nd layer networks (lightning) work on top of it and have very cheap transaction costs.

The energy spent on securing the network makes it antifragile and eliminates the need for many functions of the finance sector.
If you’re going to claim Schneier is wrong on crypto stuff, you’ll want to bring a suitcase of evidence along…

How about $348 billion dollars that says he's wrong about his take on Bitcoin?

Look, I get it. I respect Schneier's knowledge on encryption but he is wrong about blockchains and about Bitcoin in particular.

But he wouldn't be the first establishment technologist/economist/politician to be wrong about Bitcoin.

As I write this, the market cap of Bitcoin is a little over $348 billion dollars [1]; there's no way it gets to this valuation if its distributed trust model didn't work.

That is the kind of outcome I would expect from a bootcamp like that: it gives the impression whether the person has the interest and the aptitude for software engineering and then a long way to get good at it. The article does not get into details about the course which is mentioned and I do not want to make presumptions but if they advertise their course as an entry ticket into the IT job market - especially in the current circumstances - then to me it is a borderline malevolent type of business model.

> Regular Expressions to do not compose well.

That is patently untrue. Regular expressions compose under a number of important mathematical operations, such as union, intersection and concatenation. If your PL supports string interpolation, it's trivial to compose them in these ways (well ok, maybe not intersection). Nobody says that your regex needs to be written as a single string.
I'd say they are just a tech company that happens to make cars. No matter how they position their battery advantages everyone can easily copy them. They don't have magic chemistry. Plus batteries are so cheap already it doesn't matter anymore.

Every other car company has an EV, some with similar battery sizes. But no-one has infotainment and gizmos like Tesla has. This is where Tesla's premium kicks in (asides from packing bigger batteries for no particularly good reason).

I'm looking for an EV for my parents in Europe and Tesla is basically 1.8x more for quite much better range and way better tech, but questionable build quality. Basically non-starter for now.
They don't actually need that much to justify their valuation. Go look at some of the bull cases by analysts. Some of them have a stock price in this range and their targets for Tesla are 5-10x below what Tesla targets in the next 10 years. If they can keep the current growth up for a few more years, and they continue to improve margin, this valuation is not just justifiable but will look like a steal. They have been improving their margin thanks to vertical integration and will continue to drive this further into battery cells and much more.

Tesla also is the dominate player in home battery storage and the biggest provider of grid battery storage. Two gigantic growth markets. They already have very good products for this markets and with their own battery production, this is a market they can continue grow in for 10+ years. Tesla is also a very large solar provider, that is another growth market.

Now I know on HN its considered good from to shit on Tesla and Self-Driving, but the opportunity in that market is so gigantic, that even a small chance of getting there is huge. Tesla has huge resources invested in it, they make their own hardware and they have a bigger fleet in the world then anybody and have much more real world data then anybody. And Tesla unlike other don't need 100s of million of venture investment to keep working on it.

Tesla numbers are quite comparable to Amazon a couple of years ago and there we had the same people who for 10+ years said how overvalued they were. Tesla is a huge company playing in even bigger markets growing faster then anybody.
And to add to that, those defenders were probably all (much) taller and heavier than Maradona.

> if you know it, you know it everywhere. What you don't know is this.

Right, one language might have anythingBut(" ").endofline() and the next language might have a different . operator like anythingBut(" ")->endofline() or it might even require nesting calls. None of these things are a significant hurdle and if we standardize the names (endofline, anythingBut, ...) then you can make the same argument. It's a chicken and egg argument: just use regex because that works everywhere -> it's not universally implemented -> it won't work everywhere.

And aside from that, I have a similar experience to the sibling comment: when using some command line tool that I forgot (is it sed? Vim?) the default is that \( is a capture group whereas in normal regex ( is a capture group. Grep offers you three regex variants to choose from. I have to look up regex syntax or do trial and error every time I don't use a language that I use daily. And I don't know all of regex to begin with, I just know everything I ever needed but people posted examples here with (?:x) which I don't know. I once read it and remembered it for a few days I think... so anyway, consistent and descriptive method names seems a lot easier especially when you consider autocompleting IDEs.

Great, a nice positive claim — where’s your evidence for it?
From your article:
>The last time CO2 levels were this high was during the Pliocene Epoch, 5.3 to 2.6 million years ago, when the Earth was several degrees warmer, sea levels were an estimated 50 feet higher than they are today, and forests grew as far north as the Arctic.

Doesn't really point to phytoplankton populations crashing as being a likely scenario.
I'd tag the trouble you are running in to is that many people understand that inequality isn't a problem. My neighbor doing well isn't making me worse off.

The current growth in inequality does look bad - the bank bailouts in '08 are a good example of a problem - but if you try to start a conversation first with inequality you aren't going to the underlying problem. The underlying problem is that increasingly the people with power are wielding it to stamp out prosperity. Commercial failures, in particular, should go bankrupt, not be rewarded. Companies that rely on massive amounts of debt should be crumpling under the load. The major governments of the world are creating an environment where these companies can limp on for extended periods of time, burning resources (that other people could have used) as they go.
The naming process often boils down to balancing a decision matrix of objective and subjective trade-offs between positives and negatives for a given scope, audience, market and requirements (legal, perceptual, cultural, linguistic) as well as constraints (time, money, creativity). These tend to be priced in different, 'currencies' and individual preferences that are challenging to reconcile.

As someone who has done quite a bit of pretty successful product and company naming, the choice "Mmhmm" has quite a few negative aspects which I consider to be fairly important, though not requirements.

* Hard to only hear first then spell correctly.

* Hard to only read first then pronounce confidently.

* Hard to find when searched, even in combination with other likely terms (e.g. video, streaming, app).

* Can be confusing when introduced as a new-ish term in conversation.

* Such a notably 'unique' name can trigger discussion about the name itself which can lead to distraction or delay in communicating the product's value prop (as seen in the first third of their own intro video).

* Even for those who may find it "clever" or "cute" initially, it will likely become annoying over time for those in the company as well as the company's most valuable stakeholders.

Against that, the upsides don't appear (IMHO) to be a good trade-off.

* Short

* Quick to say

* Unique

* Memorable (at least on the verbal dimension, if not written)

* The domain was apparently affordable.
was thinking the same thing. a couple of quick searches show that, Thailand, for example, has a ~315 baht minimum daily wage, which is around $10. Assuming ~20 work days, that would still be ~$200/month minimum. It seems there's probably some places where this $100/month might be a decent supplement in some parts of the world, but still doesn't seem like a 'livable wage' on its own anywhere.

So in short France is supposed to abolished everything that actually makes the country.. French?

It's simply a stupid idea to try to emulate the US. The world doesn't need more gigantic global conglomerates which are largely built on homogogenous large domestic markets with unified languages to scale up (hence the dominance of China and the US).

Countries like France, instead of dumping taxes or eroding worker rights, should focus on small business and human scale technology. Privacy, encryption, protocols rather than platforms, open standards, open source, healthy and diverse ecosystems rather than growth. Switzerland is the example to follow, not the US or China.
This seems like a solid assessment - we should at least keep our eye on the ball.
