"Fools rush in where angels fear to tread"

Tesla might just be the next MySpace or Friendster. They're coming in, figuring out how to get the technology to work, paying for the infrastructure (or getting others to pay), and setting it up so that Toyota can come in and scoop up the market.

I think Tesla is in for a difficult future. They seem to not understand that the people that buy Camry are not the same that buy Mercedes. Playing the same brand to the luxury crowd and the cost-conscious crowd has never, to my knowledge, worked. People will probably point to Apple, but Apple isn't luxury. It's premium. You really have to compare Rolex or Patek to Apple Watch to see where the rubber meets the road. The Model 3 is about $10k over the price point they need to be, and rolling that out just about damn near killed Elon from reports I've read. As they target the cheaper market, their margins drop and then they risk losing the Mercedes crowd entirely. So there go their fat margins. I'd imagine their warranty costs also increase and will squeeze them as well.

I can't imagine Panasonic, LG, etc. sitting around while Tesla whips them around on the battery tech front, either. Tesla is like a toddler trying to be a conglomerate. Elon is stretched so thin he's going to have a mental breakdown.

What about users who don't consent to that, who would prefer to manually update in a safe manner?

Making the decision for a user is the issue. Consent to run software A on Monday is not consent to run unknown/unexamined software B on Tuesday.

In the vast majority of cases, receiving userspace updates in a timely fashion is not worth this real-time remote access vulnerability.

Some of the books are gripping without much happening, but some of his books are just shit. I feel like I’ve rarely come across an author who’s able to combine such great books (Spy who came in from the cold) with such dross (Looking glass war).
If you are interested in the history of smell, one of the first book to touch upon the subject in the 80's is a highly recommended read:

The lack of smell pollution nowadays is something we really take for granted and the book is a nice reminder of how much of a luxury (although in other cases also a loss) that is.

Check out Craigslist 'housing' section. Oklahoma City as suggested by other commenter has 1 brs for under $600, but I'm sure there are places in California or elsewhere at least as cheap. If you're willing to share a place, you could even find cheaper places, or more desirable areas

I agree with some part of what you are saying, but tariffs are a miserably blunt instrument.

Think of the supply chain of something immensely complex like the Boeing 787, which has, quite literally, millions of parts (including LCD screens). Many if not most of those parts are imported. If there are tariffs on imports, either:

1. Boeing will pay tariffs, increasing the cost of each plane. Great for Airbus, bad for Boeing.

2. The parts are sourced locally instead. These parts will invariably be more expensive, as if there were cheaper local options, they would have been sourced locally before. Again, Boeing planes get more expensive, great for airbus, bad for Boeing.

3. Boeing, to avoid raising prices and giving market share to airbus, decides to move manufacturing outside the US.

What applies here for Boeing, is also going to apply to Tesla, Caterpillar, and hundreds of other companies. Tariffs create incentives to source locally, but they simultaneously create incentives to manufacture abroad. It is a very thin tightrope to walk and I haven't seen any evidence that Washington can.

Yes, absolutely. Oh, the amount of outdated software that your average corp runs is mind blowing. Not only that, but if you have a tight IT department, the amount of shadow IT that happens because of the too onerous processes put in place by IT will leave so much infrastructure that is critical but not managed correctly.

As a security professional, getting people to upgrade simple software is difficult enough, upgrading critical infrastructure used 24/7 by the development team... forget about it.

>Get off your bourgeois partisan high horse and read the damn emails and Luntz's response (he was included in one of the produced email chains)

I'll let the relevant authorities do so. As I understand it, they have a laptop or the contents thereof, and are conducting an investigation.

If that investigation warrants charging Hunter Biden with any crimes, he can be tried by a jury of his peers and, if convicted, punished appropriately.

Adherence to the law isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a partisan issue, nor have I made any statement to that effect.

If you believe you have uncovered some relevant evidence, I suggest you take it to the authorities for further investigation.

Thank you for sharing your point of view.

> one of the great things about biking is that you get to pick and choose between car rules and pedestrian rules

Oh, I hate that! Bikes are transit, and are not supposed to leave the transit in the middle of their way, especially not for negotiating an intersection. Bailing out of the bike and going on foot with the pedestrians does not count as "doing the correct thing", just that using the bike is impossible. Besides, it is annoying for the pedestrians.
Most countries don't have an oath of allegiance, at least for the general populace. I think most of the world thinks of them as some weird third reich-esque thing.
Funny how you ignore the 7 years the stock remained flat before this 2019 yet on car deliveries alone they grew 2400%.
Which it should be. The fact that it isn't puts all of us on the hook for the next $trn bail out, if we are lucky enough to see administrations that act fast enough to do it and have the head room to do it.

If not, welcome to a real depression....

The truth is that as a society we can't afford this, and it is flat out negligent that we are being exposed to it. Of course the drivers are to cover up the realities of the exposures of certain institutions because they can't get out of their hole and don't really want to. Someone needs to get a grip on this and drive change in the real situation, the regulations and the culture much faster and harder.

I learned about the microplastic issue (coming from tyres) from my college professor. he argued that it's a major problem and yet most people don't know about. That's because stakeholders (global leaders) know there's nothing much that can be done to avoid this issue so they withhold this info from the general public.
This is the key. Additionally, updates can be verified to be the same thing that everyone else got, by checking them from multiple different clients/IPs/countries. Targeted attacks are much harder, and if the compromised update is untargeted, detection risk increases drastically.
For those unaware, Russia had an explosion involving a missile containing a nuclear power pack that released radioactivity into the atmosphere and ocean recently, on August 8, 2019.

It appears there was a chain reaction, so some kind of detonation, that was recorded as a seismic event. Some of the technicians died of radiation poisoning.

There was a coverup by Russia, so air traffic was not notified of a test, and a nearby village was not evacuated.

I have doubts that it will fix the problem. It's not just drugs that these cartels control--it's kidnapping, avocados, cross-border smuggling, etc.

As far as I know you can reliably change a few bits and get a collision, not create arbitrary data with padded info whose hash collides with the original data.
Or if they do, they focus on high value targets. And those high value targets in a free market should be able to pay for their own protection.

>Their wage-dollars will now buy less stuff.

Well, you don't seem to understand the fundamental problem. Whatever labor force exists in America should see rapidly growing wages because the unemployment rate is relatively low. The reality is that not only do we not see inflation the fed has set the interest rates to almost zero and injected an insane amount of money into the stock market with no change in sight. There is slack in the system, a lot of slack. This causes wage growth to stagnate while rich people in the USA still make loads money off Chinese labor. They don't have to care about Americans because there are work forces abroad waiting for them.

>The US has the world reserve fiat currency, so there are no examples because a fiat reserve currency has never existed before, but we know

This is completely irrelevant. The primary benefit of a world reserve fiat currency is running a trade surplus without financing but if you don't produce anything, not even housing that advantage is meaningless.

>hyperinflation is a likely outcome.

Banning investments into real estate might not be optimal but hyperinflation is not going to happen because the economy isn't even close to it's production capacity.

>Now, from the experience we do have, ~30% inflation like in the 70s is the best we can hope for.

There is a response to your commend that disputes that we even had this "experience".

>A zombie economy like japan's would frankly be fantastic given the conditions.

The USA is already partially a zombie. You have public companies with record stock growth despite no changes in fundamentals. It's easier to make money off the stock market because that's where the rich are using the watering can of the fed even though there are lots of withering plants surrounding the almond farm. The stock market looks significantly brighter than it should.

"Anti-free-market-ism is the anti-vaxxerism of the intelligentsia."

It isn't - the fact is that the "free market" is in fact a market shackled to whoever has the capital to manipulate it. That's seen in every market in history sooner or later. The time and extent of capital dominance is determined by regulation - the more regulation, the later and less rigged in favour of the richest participant the market is.

These are just facts - free markets aren't free, they aren't efficient and they aren't good.

Unfortunately the known alternative is a fudge.

Sounds nightmarish. IPFS would work if the project took aim at becoming the default filesystem for linux. There's no storage issue if every new server, terminal and handset was an ipfs node by default and local storage volumes and proprietary cloud storage platforms were the fragile fringe use filesystems. Perhaps the Open Library and the Wayback Machine only work in a more open internet than we have today.

I have a .vimrc I set up a decade or so ago. I can't remember what's in it, just that I have to comment out a few lines every time I copy it from a Mac to Linux or vice versa.

In retrospect, I probably should have just gotten used to whatever the default is, because using Vim without my .vimrc doesn't actually feel like Vim to me.
This only works for casual untrained observers. A proper infosec analyst looking at this would first wonder why there is HTTP traffic related to .NET assemblies at all (this sounds weird). Then comparing two requests or so would likely show a suspicious pattern of all the hex changing randomly while the rest of the payload is cookie cutter the same.

Unless the outer layer is a legitimate service that's actually in use, this kind of thing only fools people who'd dismiss this traffic as "something I don't know about, but which is probably benign". Then there's the whole figuring out what IPs this is going to part, which would raise more alarm bells.

Cute, but I think you could do better. Hiding from someone looking at your traffic is very hard. The more important part is how well you hide from dumb automated tools that people rely on for initial detection.

Then again, a huge portion of the auditing/"infosec" market nowadays are untrained random people running automated scanners who actually have zero reverse engineering or proper security research experience, so I'm sure it'd work well against those.
> The difference is that when a cyclist is rude and selfish, it might put you in a bad mood for the rest of the morning.

Had a cyclist illegally cross horizontal to a lane on a 40mph road, almost resulted in a 3 car collision - luckily all three drivers (including me and the car behind me) were paying attention.

A cyclist absolutely can cause deaths by not obeying the laws of the road.
Thanks for the reply.

> Because my understanding is that most Chinese people do not consider the CCP to be virtuous nor do they "identify" with it.

Perhaps its not meant to signal virtue to the majority but instead to the decision makers. Perhaps the majority do not identify as a member but the members do.

That would be covered by signaling virtue.

Well, in France, some accidents are not a matter of law, but insurance arbitration. There is not "whatever the situation", just a default assumption that pedestrians and cyclists have priority. Then there is a case study.

The insurance arbitration can be weird though: if you are getting out of a parking spot, with all the indicators and cautious maneuvers, and get hit, you are at fault. Bike, car, bus ...
I've pondered on this and wonder if religion could be the answer. I say this as an atheist. But churches, typically already established well in these areas, could have the community structure combines with good social values and zeal/commitment, even fanaticism to see through what would likely be tough time initially to cleaning up areas.

Something along the lines of a Knights Templar where segment of a community devote themselves to the protection of people in the area. It might even give youth an alternative to avoid gangs as while jobs are scarce they can join a 'higher order' so have an alternative that provides purpose and a raise in self-status.

Note: I know nothing about these areas or problems really so approach this mental exercise from a position of ignorance and Hollywood.

So many of the books are magnificent in their depth. So are the filmed adaptations: the BBC productions of Smiley's People and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy; and the more recent film of the latter; and the Night Manager miniseries.

What has also given me a lot of pleasure was the BBC Radio productions of the eight George Smiley books [1]. They've often kept me company: sometimes on long car journeys, sometimes when I'm feeling contemplative but need distraction. Such a treat.

Thank you for it all Mr. Le Carré.

The NSA regularly launches cyber attacks using the signature/SOP of other countries in order to frame them, so attribution is usually useless without evidence.

I don't immediately trust such studies, which are created with ideological bias. Afaik even the famous "blind orchestra auditions" study has been debunked by now.

Most VC capital comparisons like that neglect that women tend to do startups in other industries than men. At least the one from the HN submission here tries to correct for that.

Theranos has shown that women can raise a lot of capital.

Edit: from the first link "VCs who are scouting for extreme outperformers may be underwhelmed by women’s more measured pitching style." - this could be a huge part of it, if women tend to do less ambitious startups. For example. The basic assumption that men and women do the same startups and the only difference is their gender is probably wrong.

Edit: the second article argues with the usual "only x% of vc partners are women" and neglects to mention that far less women try to do startups.

It’s also often more dangerous for the cyclist anyway because drivers pulling out of parking lots, alleys, side roads, etc. nose their way into the crosswalk as long as no pedestrians are in their immediate way. They aren’t expecting a bike going 15-20 mph on the sidewalk.

Another great read on the topic is from Calm's CTO - https://lethain.com/build-vs-buy

Some interesting takes

1) There's more to it than the 'risk' factor, consider value & costs!

2) Ask yourself "What can I actually build right now?" and be brutally honest before attempting any comparison (vs external tools)

3) Solutions that hinder your efforts to move any component outside their ecosystem are best avoided. These prove to be costly in the long run.
