Meh. India similarly trues hard to manufacture stuff on its own buys weaponry from USA and Israel and France and other countires? Why ? Cant they produce gunmetal ? Yes they can but the ministers who take the decision get kickbacks from countries. Essentially for a minister, it is a financial incentive to buy from USA because he/she will get a share of the deal. If India starts making their own, this revenue stream will dry up and they cant let that happen.

I have this debate at the office somewhat regularly. The so called intrinsic quality of code is a poor indicator of the quality is a product.

Which, really, shouldn't be shocking. It isn't that they are unrelated. It is that we don't know how to measure either.
I have always assumed these information is not sensitive anyway. It is not a secret party. Party members have meetings regularly so everyone knows who is in the party or not. I didn't look into the leak though.
It might not, depending on how or when they found out about the charges.

Because no one wants to reinvent a complex wheel of login/acls and identity management ?

When you are buying a product owned by facebook what login do you expect ? Google ? Is it okay if a German citizen starts obeying American laws on German soil instead of German ? It makes no sense.

Imagine being the lawyer in FB who cleared this, obviously he was right to clear this because there is fundamentally nothing wrong with this, nothing illegal or immoral. Even as VP or PM I do not see why anyone would object to a Facebook login on a device owned by Facebook. Heck, even my website supports login via Facebook.

Clearly German government officials do not have a job to do so they are picking on this sort of things.

If they are hired through normal hiring portals, listing the party membership status is a standard feature of said portals, so yes it would have been known.

There are of course several implementations though it seems the Apollo framework dominates. I've been using the Expedia implementation for Kotlin & Spring Boot lately, which uses the graphql Java implementation. While not perfect, it's a pretty nice implementation and really easy to get started with if you already use Spring Boot. It basically autoconfigures when you add the dependency to your classpath (and get rid of some conflicting ones). It then generates graphql end points for any spring bean implementing the Mutation or Query endpoints. You don't write a single line of schema; it's all generated.

You are right, we all assume Tesla is much more than a car company. BUT - to justify its current value, Tesla must monopolize all the sectors you have mentioned.

It's a bit like crypto speculation.
False alarm due to Geminids?
Isn't the point he tried to make that if you've chosen an entry point into Bitcoin anywhere in the last -12 - -5 years you'd still be ahead 5 years later? So that if your time horizon is at least 5 years and if history is any indicator (here is the real fallacy imho) investing in Bitcoin is a good idea?

(Sure, that's way more than 7 entry points :)
To the layman, theories on the efficacy of free markets sounds like a type of fundemantalism, and economists who promulgate it are suspected of being coopted to promote the interests of a corporate elite.

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

To this group, anti-free-market-ism is seen as a form of contrarianism, that open-minded/free-spirited people engage in.

One of the problem with Tesla’s is they cannot have long periods of sustained acceleration due to the way battery cooling works. They could probably rig up something fancy, but at least none of the models right now do this easily.

I’ve been using John Decimal since reading about on HN several years ago, so for every critic, there are folks happily using it and paying no mind.
I didn't say trivial implementation, but rather a trivial solution (i.e., a general approach). Regarding the issue that, in addition to alcohol, there exist a large number of drugs potentially diminishing one's ability to drive: it could be approached using Pareto principle. Either focus just on alcohol (which most likely is responsible for 80% of road accidents) and ignore the other 20% (distractions, lack of attention, drugs, etc.), or apply Pareto principle again, now to the drugs class, and identify most frequently used ones and/or most potentially impairing ones and design relevant sensors to cover the 20% that causes 80% of issues.

While I certainly recognize potential benefits of autonomous driving (and automation, in general), relevant global or nationwide deployments are still a very long way to go; it's not "a bit more time", but most likely decades. Imagine how many lives could be saved with simpler sensor-based solutions (which, by the way, could very much help with the problems of "tiredness, distractions, and simple mistakes") in the meantime ...

This is truly a great system. Simple to use and simple to maintain. Kudos for formalizing the data organization methodology.
I wonder whether software ends up being complex, because the building blocks used by most programmers are simply insufficient to model complex systems.

Those building blocks are procedures, subroutines, control statements and modules/sub-programs.

Just because these can (eventually) be used to model complexity in code that increasingly approaches a big ball of mud, doesn’t mean they are the ultimate abstractions.

We need to invent and use better abstractions.

How does C programmers handle integer overflow?

You can’t really check if an integer variable is greater than 2^32, since that itself would cause an integer overflow.
"Germany still has a strong industrial base, without a race to the bottom and with strong unions. So it is possible :)"

A lot, and I mean a LOT, of German industrial base is now located abroad, in Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania. These countries are rather close, but because they belonged to the Soviet Bloc, their economic development was retarded so much that local wages are 20-30 % of wages in Bavaria, but the workforce is qualified and the infrastructure adequate. This is a historic anomaly you do not have in the U.S.

Come here (I am in Czechia) and look around, the countryside around cities is absolutely dotted with German-owned factories that mostly produce parts. Those parts are then moved by trucks to Germany where the final product is assembled - and so the miracle of higher "work productivity" in BRD is created. Of course you have nominally higher productivity if you finalize products.

This is, by the way, how Viktor Orbán gets his political way. Hungary is absolutely vital part of German industrial base and German industry gets premium conditions on the ground. So for all the shouting about values and rule of law, German CDU/CSU and Orbán always find a way to coexist.

And as for race to the bottom, look to former East Germany. There, people want German wages from German bosses. They do not get them, most of the industry moved abroad where cheaper workforce is. Former GDR is an economic periphery where anti-system parties command majority of the vote.
Cryptozoology is the field where you try to keep abreast of all those new cryptocurrencies. ;-)
Show HN: Instantly search 28M books from OpenLibrary
I love that show, the only thing from Apple TV I actually watched. Got a subscription for buying something from them, and after 7 months decided to give it a go and try something less dark and gloomy. This is such a lighthearted gem, the perfect thing to watch for me right now. Not too much drama, just pure feel good stuff, don’t even know how to describe it, but I love that show.
Quick context: I built this from the Open Library (Internet Archive) books dataset (https://openlibrary.org/), as a follow up to this comment on the GoodReads post earlier today: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25408186

Thank you @mekarpeles for helping me get access to the data quickly and giving me pointers about the schema.

I should add - I built this in about 12 hours as a weekend project, so there might be some lurking issues.

> Details about the Tech Stack:

The dataset has ~28.6 million books and is indexed on Typesense [1], an open source alternative to Algolia/ElasticSearch that a friend and I are working on.

The UI was built using the Typesense adapter for InstantSearch.js [2] and is a static site bundled using ParcelJS.

The app is hosted on S3, with CloudFront for a CDN.

The search backend is powered by a geo-distributed 3-node Typesense cluster running on Typesense Cloud [3], with nodes in Oregon, Frankfurt and Mumbai.

Don't you innovate during the other 85%? Likewise, couldn't you spend that remaining 15% doing rote, uninteresting work of your choosing?

To me, the concept of 20% time is the freedom to choose what you're working on, not how you should be working.
I guess future will tell. An interesting thing from the book mentioned is that how toxic something is is not only about the amount we are exposed to, but also at what stage in life. Apparently premature babies have higher cancer rate later in life because they where exposed to these endocrine disruptors from intubation at such a sensitive period in their development.

I spent about six years in psychology with some graduate school so understand the biases you’re referring to. Generally awareness of them helps minimize their impact.

Perhaps it is merely that we disagree on the matter (or where “center” lies, which is interesting in and of itself).

And that’s fine. The political environment of grad school in social sciences, then hard sciences, industry in the more formal sciences and industry in software. Growing up around strong conservatives in rural areas. I’ve seen a decent sampling of perspectives.

I do not fault HN for its (generalized) leanings. It’s just a feature of this specific community and I enjoy it for reasons unique to it. No indictment or whatever.
Computer Security Versions of the Halting Problem
> Regularly watching cyclists flaunt the rules that the car driver would be cited for breaking

Yes and no. I am sorry when cyclists flaunt the rules — it does happen — but there are also those of us that strictly obey the law. (It helps keep me alive.) But I see cars break many of the same rules, quite often. For example, seeing a car run a red isn't even a rare thing. (A rare one is seeing a car driving the wrong way.) Between the two groups, I don't think I see one break the rules more often than the other. (I certainly see more violations from motorists… but I also see more motorists.)

> never seeing a single cyclist cited for the law breaking,

I've seen this, multiple times. Oddly, only while biking. Probably about as (in)frequently as I see motorists get cited.

> So as long as the law says cyclists must obey the same rules car drivers are also supposed to obey, the subset of cyclists that break those rules on a regular basis do not help, in the least, the arguments to try to convince car drivers to be more respectful of cyclists.

That there are those out there that don't obey the law should not matter to validly argue that the world would be better — that is, fewer cyclists would die — if both motorists and cyclists alike would obey the law.
So.. never?

I interviewed there years ago, at the time it solely managed Peter Thiels personal money because all the other investors had pulled out.

Ok, humor me here, you guys are certainly smarter than I am.

This would be based on a flawed assumption that history is a good indicator of future performance. I choose an entry point into Bitcoin somewhere in the last 12 to 5 years. From that point on, 5 years later, the price is always ahead. Those pairs as you said are not independent. How does that matter here?

Edit: And why would that make a bad observation or a bad strategy?

If you change enough variables at once, it's pretty hard to get clear knowledge of harm. We're not out there running controlled experiments on every new substance, or collecting robust data. The rapid rise of unexplained autoimmune disease over the past few decades (one of quite a few negative health trends) indicates that our knowledge of what is harmful is incomplete.
Also... if SolarWinds owns Papertrail and Loggly, assuming they eat their own dog food, should customers of Papertrail and Loggly be afraid too?
I think the position is then;

- Waymo seems to be ahead in some targeted ring fenced areas given active service.

- Tesla seems to be more ready for nationwide rollout due to already collecting nationwide driver data + cars.

The question is which one is more likely to result in a broad scale market first, or other significant market revenue generating position.

It seems likely Tesla could roll out taxis to a ringfenced area in Phoenix (or similar ideal area) relatively easily. While Waymo is a long way from offering a nationwide service compared to Tesla. This in my mind puts Tesla ahead but there probably a bunch of other factors known and unknown too.
