I doubt it. Car dealerships are still very politically powerful.

They are major contributors to state legislative and congressional races, support local charities, etc and employ lots of well-paid local staff.

As electric becomes more common, that will tip as manufacturers buyout dealerships. But that will take awhile and bigger dealers are gobbling up little dealers in the meantime. IMO, the dealers will be less of a big deal as they consolidate into regional players. Dealers were a barrier to Tesla selling cars at all -- they have traction now. Plus, the Uber-consolidated dealerships will continue to consolidate operations and shed overhead costs in the process) Even Coca Cola still has 60-70 independent bottler franchises.

Well... yes. That's called judgement, and execs at firms like Boeing get paid positively stupid sums of money to provide the good kind. Which they didn't.

Or you might prefer not to tax corporations at all, only distributions to shareholders. “Profits” or “cash flow” kept in the corporation is reinvested capital. It’s creating jobs and growing businesses, even if it’s kept in an interest bearing bank account.
The author whose books I maintain changed forever how I saw, spoke and reflected, Gene Wolfe, wrote a book that uses a corruption of a fragment of Sappho to remind the main character of his identity:

"Though trodden beneath the shepherd’s heel, the wild hyacinth blooms on the ground," is Wolfe's take on, "As on the hills the shepherds trample the hyacinth under foot, and the flower darkens on the ground."
I abhor this, but what can be done about it? I genuinely don't know how to push back against measures like these and I'm hoping people here have some ideas.
Have a very similar problem in our organization, and our project manager stepped in to be that helpful friendly reminder for high performing engineers that often fail at the organizational side of things.

Works out well, but you do need a person to play the role that could be called “babysitter” if you were a pessimistic person, and it takes a friendly work relationship and self recognition of (perfectly normal and common) deficiencies in organizational skills by the engineer.

In our org, everyone is friendly and respects each other for the most part so these things are taken positively rather than negatively.
Why does taking private loans against his private assets count as socializing risk? The banks he gets these loans from understand the risk and do not represent "society".
No I think they sold him for parts.
I agree. Related to this, sketches (i.e., small data structures that can be used to recover information about large data sets) are also fundamentally new (and most of the techniques are from the 21-st century).
This has little, if anything, to do with protecting the data on your phone. You would have to never post any information anywhere on the Internet.
Honestly, I grew up playing those games on CRT screens, i'd prefer to play them upscaled on my phone screen than go back to CRT's.

>Some mediums allow a lot of interesting things, for example when Donkey Kong came out, Nintendo loved the pre-rendered 3D look, and demanded their next game be that way, Myamoto (that was orignally hired by Nintendo as artist, NOT as game designer), then made Yoshi Island to be the extreme opposite: art that is obviously 2D, with a painted look. I just want to see more people pulling that sort of stuff, instead of replicating something they don't understand, when they clearly have skills to do better.

I think you're comparing two different intentions here. When those games were made, the goal was to push the graphics of the snes as hard as they could. Most retro games are made with the intention of, well, looking retro.

If you look at a game like say Hollow Knight, that's where I feel like art styles like Yoshi's island evolved to. There's still people going for that painted look, you just don't notice them or compare them to retro games because, they don't look retro.

Failing budget? I get that it's super popular right-wing talking point but it just hasn't been true for years. Prior to COVID (which has decimated state budgets Red and Blue) California had a huge surplus and massive rainy-day fund.
Since (B|Z)DDs are basically just fancy DAGs, I wonder what the relationship between them and other automata is like? Like can some of these techniques be applied with regexps to make something truly monstrous?
IMO people are overreacting, both people who like and dislike California. Musk is an American citizen and as such can live wherever he likes within US borders. California will be fine without Musk. They've still got nice weather which will attract people willing to pay their high taxes and if they have some tax base loss it's not the end of the world. Maybe they'll have to cut some fat out of their budget but there is plenty of fat.
You just described a startup SAAS.

Nothing in comparison to what states offered. Giving businesses subsidies to attract more employers isn't anything unique to California.
Assuming they don't die of COVID-19 in the meantime, at least.

But yeah, exactly. This is the crack legal team that misspelled "district" on the first line of their "kraken" lawsuit.

You can sue for anything. The only way to tell if your suit has merit is winning. You can tell pretty easily that your suit doesn't have merit by getting tossed out of court -- which all of these have.
Who, then, decides what is true? Random YouTube commenters? Joe Rogan? Rush Limbaugh? The QAnon Twitter-sphere? Perhaps we can just vote on whether gravity exists.

Probably the best they want to do because they do not want to allocate more resources to it.
Let’s say you are a painter, and you paint 20 pictures and sell 10 for 100,000 each. You pay taxes on the 1m you receive. The other 10 painting are sitting in a storage unit. Then at some point in the future someone, one of you previous customers sells their painting in a private sale for 10M. They pay capital gains on $9.9m. Now you as the painter hypothetically have $100M worth of in paintings in your storage unit. Traditionally this net worth is considered unrealized capital gains and is untaxed. It will be taxed when sold.

Replace paintings with ownership of a company (equity) and you should get the idea.

Trustzones or secure enclaves can be "broken" via uncapping. They are designed to be resistant to that, not unbreakable. Uncapping is not new and has been around for a long time, it just takes a lot of expensive hardware and expertise. Ultimately, the keys are bits on silicon, and with some acid, a scanning tunneling electron microscope, and a lot of time, the keys can be pulled off.

There are even articles from 2016 on how this is possible:
https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/02/how-t...

It is very unlikely this sort of technique would be used against anyone but the most extreme threat actors (potential terrorists, etc). But with physical access, all bets are off. It isn't a matter of if they can decrypt, but how long it will take them given the resources available.
“Not only are intelligence and aptitudes unequally distributed among the members of society, but the residues as well.“

Thanks for the link, whose article is understandable by non-security technology types like myself.

Here are some limitations to the T2 vulnerability which give those of us with T2-equipped devices less to fret about:

> There are a few important limitations of the jailbreak, though, that keep this from being a full-blown security crisis. The first is that an attacker would need physical access to target devices in order to exploit them. The tool can only run off of another device over USB. This means hackers can't remotely mass-infect every Mac that has a T2 chip. An attacker could jailbreak a target device and then disappear, but the compromise isn't "persistent"; it ends when the T2 chip is rebooted. The Checkra1n researchers do caution, though, that the T2 chip itself doesn't reboot every time the device does. To be certain that a Mac hasn't been compromised by the jailbreak, the T2 chip must be fully restored to Apple's defaults. Finally, the jailbreak doesn't give an attacker instant access to a target's encrypted data. It could allow hackers to install keyloggers or other malware that could later grab the decryption keys, or it could make it easier to brute-force them, but Checkra1n isn't a silver bullet.
I might literally get double the salary just for moving to the US, and still I don't want it, either.
Computationally I understand that cracking PINs is trivial for modern computers. But does anyone know by what means these mobile forensics tools are able to brute force? I thought iPhone's will lock you out for a certain amount of time after a certain amount of failed attempts. Depending on the device/OS, are there ways to extract some sort of hashed password then crack on desktop like usual? Is a vulnerability of some sort always required to extract phone hashes?
Many people here seem to think this is due to incompetence, I don't. It's due to a lack of focus on speed as an indicator of quality.

I think Google devs are perfectly capable of building fast frontends, maybe they even want to, but if they're not rewarded for it (but are rewarded for "getting things done") they won't.

It's management's fault.
It wasn’t just 10 years of support, it’s 10 years of ABI stability as well. If that wasn’t a big selling point, I don’t think Red Hat or Microsoft would be as successful as they have been in enterprise.

I usually work with React and you can make webapps fly. If you even try a bit you can double load speed fairly easily, and if you are willing to put effort you can reach an orders of magnitude of improvements in webpage load speeds.
So I've always been confused by this argument of just start taxing the money that goes to shareholders because the business will reinvest it and create jobs and what not.

What keeps the company from reinvesting in the form of company luxury cars for the executives, a company home that they let the CEO live in, and executive compensation. Essentially redirecting the money that would've at least gone to index holders to the shareholders that we felt were getting too much of the pie to begin with.

Can someone explain this to me?

EDIT: just to clarify I don't mean they actually sign over the deed to the house to the ceo but rather the company maintains the house as an "executive" hq that the CEO just happens to live in, and the company doesn't give the execs luxury cars they have company cars that the executive just happen to have they keys to and only the execs. Things like that, the company claiming as corporate assets that are really only used by execs. And I am sure there are baskc laws to try and prevent something like this but there are also highly motivated CFOs to find loopholes.
If he's productive, then you have a lot of other possible solutions besides just getting him to do more paperwork. Hire a team secretary, or junior engineers to shadow the seniors, or just be the amanuensis yourself.
I felt the same way with Amazon. Before then it was easy to navigate and finding the product that I want to buy. Now, I couldn't navigate it well like I did in the past. And asian-sounding names products took over first few pages of result which made it difficult to filter out. And they are crap quality products. It is easily to tell which products is made in. Hint the brand name is all capitalized.
Once Volkswagen gets its Modulare Elektroauto Baukasten rolling at full production speed it's game over for Tesla anyhow.
Why does anyone need to decide what is true? Each person can decide for himself in his own heart what he believes. We reach consensus through discussion. There is never, not once, in any situation whatsoever a justification for forcing a particular perspective on the public instead of letting the marketplace of ideas function and find the truth organically.

This idea that certain ideas are dangerous and must be suppressed is the mark of every insecure tyranny. Secure beliefs don't need to be propped up with censorship, and a belief isn't secure, it's because it's just not adequately backed up by facts.
My understanding is that car dealerships and the laws around them are essentially a sales union. They are in place to force manufacturers to leverage local sales people instead of their own.

It blew my mind when I went to a dealership that had radio ads about their great lease deals on a Chevy Volt. I walked in, told them I'd like to lease a Chevy Volt and that I was very excited about the deal.

They spent an hour trying to talk me into other cars and the sales people didn't know the first thing about what made the Volt so special. GM apparently didn't either since they discontinued it.

Are they talking about going fabless? I thought they’ve only discussed making some parts at TSMC, not all of them.

They’re not on the first iteration at this point. They’ve been on 14 nm since 2014. 10 nm and to a lesser extent 7 nm is failing after many iterations and many years.
Keep seems to have gotten slower and slower over the years too - the web version is practically unusable on mobile, not just because the UI design isn't responsive (!), but because it's so painfully slow.

I'm not 100% on this, but I've heard it said that the UK was often a 'shield' for the more frugal EU countries (mainly the Nordic countries), as they often voted with us. As we were the bigger country, we were usually seen as the 'bad guys' though.

UK was in a lot of ways not a great fit for the EU sometimes but sometimes I do think it was good to have a larger player in the UK take a different position. I'm a big fan of the EU but they do seem to make mistakes, and completely ignore certain problems (like immigration).
California has a $54B deficit this year.

It's been all over the news, including very left-wing sources like NY Times and Politico.

The state _projected_ a surplus and was off by an entire order of magnitude into the red.

The state has been campaigning to Congress all year for about $14B in bailout money.

As unusual as it is to use “Google” and “privacy-respecting” in the same sentence without sarcasm, the creation of this infrastructure in the sole interest of serving humanity is a positive example of what is possible and gives me hope.
The consensus on HN (search for Intel 7nm, cobalt, ...). It's all speculation at this point. I doubt that Intel would publish details on their processes and its defects so soon.

Intel buying some TSMC capacity does not mean it is going fabless. Nor does it mean Intel is abandoning being vertically integrated.

I like your Boeing remark. It's better to fail at doing something aggressive than to fail to innovate.
It seems like this would be a classic case where hiring an administrative assistant or an intern to handle this scutwork would be the best solution.

I find that people rarely think about how much money they are spending having highly-paid people push internal paperwork around...
So your systematic rules for ensuring equality in a world of biases is to simply tell people to "judge people" better? And we as a society will know that we've done a good job because we feel like we did?
