This is not a blind spot, it's explicitly part of their company's long-term strategy; Musk's plan from the beginning was to start with a luxury-tier offering (Roadster), and gradually work their way down the price-points as they achieved greater economies of scale.

Musk wrote about this way back in the day (2006):

https://www.tesla.com/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-j...

> Almost any new technology initially has high unit cost before it can be optimized and this is no less true for electric cars. The strategy of Tesla is to enter at the high end of the market, where customers are prepared to pay a premium, and then drive down market as fast as possible to higher unit volume and lower prices with each successive model.

You might criticize their execution for failing to reach the mass-market sedan price-point fast enough (though I think that they have done an impressive job of starting a car company from scratch), but I don't think the "blind spot" claim really holds water.

There's often a gap between what the employer wants and market reality.

The employer really expects devs to be productive on day one and not have any training to do. Often they whine that a CS education isn't more like a bootcamp. But that's not how it works.
You must make the difference between the institution and the members. Just because Congress can change the makeup of the Court, doesn't mean that the institution has. It's a Catch 22 - in the end the final interpreter will always have absolute liberty over meaning.

And again, in theory Congress can make exceptions to it, but in the end its still up to the Supreme Court to decide that they make sense. A piece of paper has no meaning in and of itself.
Additionally, you can use state machines server side to track stateful processes by simply serializing the “current” state of the machine and storing it somewhere.

With the next request, reload the “current” state of the machine and transition to the next based on the incoming request.

I think a goal of legalization should be making buying coke easy for addicts, and hard for non-addicts.

The problem with your solution is that's not nearly enough cocaine for addicts, so compared to the current drug war you've made it far easier for non-addicts to buy drugs, without really influencing the supply for addicts.

I think a better solution is to allow people to buy up to a personal amount of coke for an addict, 1g per day. But require a request one month in advance. This allow addicts to purchase enough cocaine to satiate their habit, while still making it difficult for an individual to pick up some coke on a bad day and never stop.

Hyperbolic discounting can be our friend.
Interesting. It seems that Compound is a direct competitor of Carta (formerly eShares Inc.).

Any companies that offer ISOs without at least a ten year exercise window is just spitting in your face and trying to leave an avenue to clawback your hard earned and well deserved compensation.

It’s not that early stage equity is worthless. It obviously isn’t, it can be worth a ton. It’s the instruments that VCs and founders use to offer early stage equity to employees that is worthless. That is a huge distinction that’s worth emphasizing because when people say “oh it’s probably worthless” it’s not just saying that the company is unlikely to succeed, but that if it does succeed you will be scammed out of its value via exercise windows, dilution, getting common instead of preferred shares, etc

I’m not a CSV fanboy by any means but I have used CSV with a number of enterprise solutions because that’s all they’d offer. And my experience is that the comments levelled against it in this discussion are overstated.

Should Ross Ulbricht, founder of Silk Road, be pardoned?
Definitely possible, but I (not an expert) think unlikely. Viruses still have to contend with physics and limited resources.

For example, by “something like hiv” do you mean something that acts very slowly, but eventually kills you? That indicates a low viral reproduction rate - which means you’re spreading far fewer virus particles than something like covid, thus a low transmission rate, even if airborn.

Do you mean “attacks the immune system”? How does it get airborn, if it’s in the relatively few immune cells in the lungs? I suspect if you inhaled an aerosol of hiv particles you might catch it, but it doesn’t have a way of getting in the air.

Again, not an expert/wild speculation, but I think the risk of something fast acting, highly transmissible, and highly lethal, is more of a concern than a slow-acting lethal virus.

Also from the article:

However, Stats NZ national accounts manager Paul Pascoe said the effects of Covid-19 on different industries had varied “and for some industries these may persist for some time”.

The rebound was not enough to make up for the lost activity during the lockdown period, with GDP in the 12 months ended on September 30 down 2.2 per cent on the prior year.

I haven't been able to test any Zen 3 CPUs. Now I'm curious!

From benchmarks listed here: https://calomel.org/aesni_ssl_performance.html
it seems that Intel had similar performance in their 2015 release of the i7-6700 as AMD's 2017 release of Ryzen 7 1800X.

Raw general purpose benchmarks I found via Google put the Ryzen 7 1800X at about twice the compute capability as an i7-6700, but their AES performance is quite even.

Why is that the next challenge? Why aren’t we using this on other diseases we haven’t been able to generate vaccines for and just continue to research it as a general therapy since that’s not yet an “engineering” problem?

HIV, Ebola certain cancers, etc. What about using it to train our immune system for more complex diseases like Malaria or various bacteria? What about investigating if the general techniques can also somehow combat simpler diseases like prions which don’t even have RNA.

I can really relate to the parent comment. I have worked at two VC-funded startups, one which was an "uber of x" and the other is a IoT consumer electronics startup.

The former was unethical in the way it treated the workers (I mean independent contractors). The higher ups treated the app/company as a beautiful product that would save the world (or the yuppies at least), but rarely acknowledged the actual workers who made the cogs spin, and was more focused on Growth and branding than actually treating people well.

Something I always think about is the dark pattern they had in the app which would only ask you to rate/review on Yelp/app stores if you had given a 5 star rating to the job. They also hacked Yelp to show the Yelp option to people they determined were most likely to leave a good Yelp review. If you have a good product/service that you believe in, you shouldn't need to do this type of thing. Oh, and of course the company was not following the labor/insurance laws in the states where it worked and had several cease and desist orders they ignored.

The hardware startup had like 20% RMA rates because of components would fail over and over. They used VC money to subsidize the returns/repairs instead of fixing the problem. They would prefer to ship more crappy products instead of fewer good products. Not so much illegal (hard to be when selling electronics, yay regulations), but unethical in that they would ship so much garbage despite being "customer obsessed." They operated more like a software company than a hardware company. It's easy to remotely fix software, but hardware is a very different beast and that was something they didn't want to admit.

Compared to my current company, a 30 person electronics firm that has already been acquired and never did too much VC nonsense. We are profitable and sell a good product (1% RMA) that customers enjoy. Instead of "moving fast and breaking things" (a slogan I feel the first two companies embody), we work hard to get things just right before shipping the product so that we never get any returned merchandise but get lots of return customers.

In my experience, the "later" may come too late.

I've seen code copy-pasted and slightly modified over a dozen times, sometimes without even eliminating dead code! Copying a function or even a whole file is fine if you actually take a moment to consider whether it needs refactoring or not, but more often than not people will just copy and bash at the code until things work without actually making a conscious choice to duplicate code over refactoring.
It did start in the 70s!

I never had an ARM one, but imagine they would be a bit slow. However, they are still a fairly wide use case on a laptop, so to speak. And that gets blurred further by tablets I guess.

The M1 is a nice product. But let's not pretend it's the first ARM device in the world. It has plenty of merits to rest on that it don't need that qualifier as justification, anyways.
I wouldn't personally mind. I mean, these researchers are, presumably, the most informed people in the world on the subject.
Ok, so I understand that when there is enough evidence to arrest the property owner, there is also enough evidence for a criminal forfeiture, so my concern up there does not happen in practice.

Also, whatever judgement happens, it's initiated by the owner, so there isn't an issue with timing.

That clarifies a bit how it works.

Anyway, the idea that just having large quantities of money creates strong suspicion of drug crimes that appears again and again on that linked document is beyond disgusting.
Yes, it's a direct result from the linearity of time evolution in QM. Like you say, if state1 x raw_material -> state1 x state1 (i.e. we are able to take some raw material and clone state1) and also state2 x raw_material -> state2 x state2, then linearity forces us to also have (state1 + state2) x raw_material -> state1 x state1 + state2 x state2. This is not the same as (state1 + state2) x (state1 + state2) which is what we'd want in order to clone arbitrary states.
The problem is in the word "their". If they stole it, it's not theirs. If they bought it with stolen money, again, it's not theirs. Or at least, so goes the legal theory.

It seems straightforward enough, until you realize that it basically shifts the burden of proof for any ownership to you. And that includes the recursive problem of the money you used to buy it, so merely having a receipt doesn't suffice.

In a straightforward sense, it really does turn out to be that the word "their" is more complicated than it seems at first blush. But it's also clear that this complication is easily abused, and has been -- to a degree that courts should have stomped on long ago.
It will get even bigger. "Defund the police" will turn police into for-profit self-funded organization :-)
I think you've proved your second point by getting your first wrong. The benchmarks posted are for a stack including PHP, not PHP itself (and not the fastest stack with e.g. pgsql).

Which gives ~75h-100h, way more credible than the 15h the author mentions in the post..

My students have 3h/week of Lecture, 2h/week of labs which is about 75h of classes (15 weeks). If we add ~60h estimated time for two projects, it's 135h. It means to me that you had enough time to learn the concepts and may have internalized some/most of them..
As someone not at all involved in Rust but interested in its progress, I think this is an important milestone to hit.

In most orgs that I've been a part of, no language tends to meet the standard for consideration until it has been the core of at least one very large public software project.

A functioning GUI toolkit is likely a major barrier to that happening in Rust.

Until then, we know it exists but doesn't pass inspection for inclusion. So far the largest things we know of built with it are Servo's CSS engine and the NPM authentication service.

Delivery of the RNA is hard. To the right cell type, not immediately degraded, not accidentally integrated into a critical part of the genome, with a payload that is actually effective, etc.

The original gene therapies (early 2000s) were essentially RNA therapies (adenovirus). And their unethical rush and subsequent failures caused a bit of a 'gene therapy winter' [1]. We've since made enormous progress on both the ability to safely deliver genes, but also our ability to generate/design new useful genes.

[1] https://www.labiotech.eu/in-depth/gene-therapy-history/

> In 1972, a paper titled ‘Gene therapy for human genetic disease?’ was published in Science by US scientists Theodore Friedmann and Richard Roblin, who outlined the immense potential of incorporating DNA sequences into patients’ cells for treating people with genetic disorders. However, they urged caution in the development of the technology, pointing out several key bottlenecks in scientific understanding that still needed to be addressed.

Well, (a) obviously working age extends well past 40s, generally to mid-late 60s (and higher in some countries). (b) people in their 30s and 40s often have older friends and relatives, who they are disinclined to kill.

I'm 35, and am not super-worried about dying of covid; it's certainly possible, but not hugely likely. However, I'm extremely worried about being a vector.
I think the theory behind it is straightforward enough (and indeed, Moderna was founded 10 years ago with this sort of mRNA vaccine as their explicit goal), but the practice is more complicated.

Figuring out what sequence of mRNA will be the right one to get a cell to produce the right antibodies for the job, getting that sequence sliced out of the viral RNA, getting that all into a form where it can be absorbed by cells and not just instantly degrade are all nontrivial tasks.

The devil’s in the details: compare to the field of software or cpu engineering... seems straightforward enough to just have more instruction decoders, but due to complexities only ditching x86 has actually made it possible for Apple to do this.
Hands down the best paper in software development.
