Non-recourse financing in this context means that in the event that shares (which are held as collateral) became worthless there is no personal recourse. I.e. your savings, house and whatnot are not on the hook. The contract is just dissolved.

In this scenario you spend $0 of your own money on exercise.

The "catch" is that you'll have to share the upside in case of a better outcome (according to pre-agreed rates). But the reality is that it's still a better option than just waiting for IPO/acquisition to exercise and sell shares at the same time (so called cashless exercise) [1].

Having lived in the country, hitting deer at 55pmh (100km/h) is a fact of life. You repair the car and move on. Many will call the sheriff, but that is because if you report it you get a permit to eat the deer (otherwise it is poaching - the sheriff is supposed to make sure you aren't intentionally hitting deer with your car).

If you hit a dog with your car it is the fault of the owner for not taking care of the dog.

I worry about children though, as we all know they are not as smart as they should be.
One of the "interesting" things about the new strain is that generally there is genetic drift happening all the time with the virus and you can trace it internationally into a sort of 'family tree'. This can be used to work out how it is spreading geographically, its like a fingerprint that changes as it spreads.

e.g. the tree diagrams in this tweet: https://twitter.com/firefoxx66/status/1340359989395861506

The new strain is notable because it has no obvious ancestors - it has about 14 or so changes that can't be traced backwards in the tree. This points to it arising within one immunocompromised individual.

See https://virological.org/t/preliminary-genomic-characterisati...

"The accrual of 14 lineage-specific amino acid replacements prior to its detection is, to date, unprecedented in the global virus genomic data for the COVID-19 pandemic."

"These considerations lead us to hypothesise that the unusual genetic divergence of lineage B.1.1.7 may have resulted, at least in part, from virus evolution with a chronically-infected individual. Although such infections are rare, and onward transmission from them presumably even rarer, they are not improbable given the ongoing large number of new infections."

In all of this, its worth remembering we've never tracked an epidemic in this much detail before, so perhaps this sort of thing is just par for the course.
I don't know that I completely buy that. Shipping/transport and resource management at the scale of automobile production is a rather different world than consumer electronics where literally everything anyone cares about fits on a plain old wooden pallet.

Apple does have smart people, and they obviously have a ton of cash. So they absolutely could make a play here. But to imagine that they'll walk in to a market that Tesla has been growing successfully in for a decade and be competitive out of the gate seems like a stretch.
If you stay in downtown SF in a "YIMBY"/new construction building, there's no rent control and the prices are astronomical. $3900ish for the cheapest studio in some buildings.

I don't know anything about this company. But I work at FAANG as an ML scientist and spent about 3 months this year working on a research project that demonstrated big performance improvements of a new tech. It got enough interest that it led to a new project that brings this to production.

This has led to countless headaches. The skills needed to solve these challenges are very different. My more academically minded colleagues don't seem to have the intuition for seeing around this corner and understanding what it takes to build something that actually works.

This is a long way of saying: if a company is founded by and ran by such academics, I can see how this would be a recipe for disaster when it came to actually building and shipping products.
Linus Torvalds don't thinks so
If you’re writing blog posts then you’re not spending the time working on your projects.
Yeah, that is what modern supply chain management is.... being able to manage a ton of different outsourced suppliers
Tesla and Apple have figured out that could is a better stock multiplier than does.
The last thing we need is the Executive rewriting legislation that has passed through Congress, broken as that Congress may be. Fix the legislature if you think the legislature is broken. You don't further skew what little remains of the separation of powers.
"The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every ‘superstar,’ every ‘supreme leader,’ every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there-on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam" - Carl Sagan

And that pale blue dot means nothing in a cosmic scale. Stop worrying and enjoy the incredible fortune of being alive.
The basic problem is understanding WHY I liked something. If I watch Tintin because it’s a cozy throwback to my childhood, that does not mean I would like every single Studio Ghibli movie in my recommendations.

Similarly, if I play Blacklist in the background as basically noise, I don’t want to see a bunch of related shows. I guess I could give it a thumbs down but I only do that for actually terrible movies.

Also Spotify and Apple music seem to have okay recommendations
In my anecdotal experience, non-AMP pages are/were strongly correlated with the type of ads you're describing.
Globalization is a factor too. Doesn't matter if Ford workers are 200% more productive when Mexican workers are 30% of the cost at similar productivity levels.
Yes Java is uqititous and it's not going away for 30 years at least. See Cobol. Java also has had significant improvements in the language so that there is less incentive to use other JVM languages like kotlin and it's fully interoperable with heartland code bases as far as I know
Yeah, and while things like the Saga pattern[1] is interesting, it hasn't impressed me with its elegance or cleverness :[ (also, there seems to many real life cases where it would not work)

For starters, Serial is universally regarded as an exceptional project – i.e. the exception that proves the rule – and a project that has always been under a considerable amount of controversy. In any case, the podcast itself never insinuated that it could make a case for Adnan Syed's innocence. And more relevant with respect to Caliphate, the foundational facts are not in doubt: Adnan Syed was indeed the ex-boyfriend of the victim, and he was indeed convicted of her murder and serving a life sentence.
IMHO they should do a sprinter van with a built in sleeper - and a commercial model for last mile delivery/service/transport. Hit the high end Winnebago market, family size Uber market, AWS delivery/service market, and US Postal Service.

Don't compete with Tesla on sportscars. Be the new minivan.
The title is a little misleading; pilots will still need to earn carrier qualification if they are assigned to squadrons that deploy from carriers but that would be after earning their wings and they would be using fleet aircraft (F/A-18, F-35C, E-2) rather than the trainer aircraft. If they fail carrier quals they can see about re-billeting as a C-130 or other non-carrier pilot slot... or turn in their wings and do something else.
I'm being sincere. My research indicates both problems cause roughly $40 billion/year in damage to the economy. It's not my fault that most people posting here don't see the impact of wage theft and/or the impact of tangling shoplifters in the criminal justice system.

Your median wage thief probably steals way more than the median shoplifter.
I think it was a joke about zero Kelvin.

I really enjoyed this song, but is this ambient? I feel like there's too much of a discernible melody for it to be ambient. The example in the article has no melody.
I believe the OP said 0K, not OK.

There may not be a universal law which says everything will be OK, but there is one which says everything will be 0K in the end.
Actual title:

Astronomers Get Their Wish, and a Cosmic Crisis Gets Worse

There seems to have been a reframing of the "crisis" at some point, with "discrepancy in measurements" becoming "expanding faster than expected" which latter seems to imply the Reiss camp has the expansion rate correct compared to the earlier mystery as to which might be true and why they might be different but both sides on an equal footing otherwise.

Reader (me) misunderstanding, actual change in scientific perception or PR work by somebody?
That's CURRENT debt. The joke has been made that GM is a pensions and healthcare company that also makes cars...
I'm not curious about other car companies because their products are on the market already and their differentiators are well known by everyone...

> they have literally ZERO differentiator compared to established car companies. They are going to tank so hard stock wise

Their stock is insanely overvalued, no argument there. But they have one of the largest installed and fastest growing DC charging networks, software that doesn't suck, and the most capable and fastest improving driver assist system enabled by a proprietary custom ASIC. That's far from "ZERO" differentiators, especially in a world where other manufacturers keep faceplanting on their software efforts over and over again.
What will be the changes in bundling? Will it just be a simple webpack plugin or will more discipline be required?

Can this be run in any other back end other than Node since it only transmits a stream of serialized vdom?

Apple is quite good at knobs and buttons, and what may eventually become interior finishes.
Yes but your plans to retire at 50 are certainly taking your pension into account, no? Or could someone survive in Scotland on $500k? I'm not sure what the investment landscape is there but in the US $500k will only get you about $20k/yr on conservative withdrawal schedules.
You could put me in charge and assuming I really go 100%, I doubt I'd pull it off. Point is, it also takes someone who really wants to and can do it.

Also, I'm just a guy on the internet, I really hope Cook sees this and decides to spite me and build an awesome car, I'm also a dreamer.
Wikipedia[0] says this:

> Ferguson's research has raised questions by virologist Hendrik Streeck. Ferguson is the corresponding author for a paper titled "Impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) to reduce COVID-19 mortality and healthcare demand", which describes itself as having "informed policymaking in the UK and other countries in recent weeks".[55] Streeck stated in reference to the paper "In the – really good – model studies by the Imperial College about the progress of the epidemic, the authors assume, for example, that 50 percent of households in which there is a case do not comply with the voluntary quarantine. Where does such an assumption come from? I think we should establish more facts."[56] The computer models which Ferguson authored were initially criticised as "unreliable" and "a buggy mess,"[57][58] but subsequent efforts to reproduce the results were successful.[59]

Simple: with respect. Don’t assume it’s a conspiracy theory, and don’t assume that just because you disagree that your friend is nuts. It’s far too easy to label something you disagree with a conspiracy theory.

You're not factoring in debt. GM and Ford have a combined $300 billion in debt.
I just checked and if you want to be technical it's "move to normally, could move to during a capture if a piece was there, or holds a piece you could capture".

Pawns are the only case that where those three are different but they see all three:

- directly in front (move)

- forward-diagonal (normal attack)

- horizonal exactly only in the case of a enemy pawn moved to that square last turn that can be taken en-passant (capture). That square goes dark if you move another piece.
butterfly keyboard buttons maybe or a circular touchbar on the wheel?
There are a number of programmes like this one at Imperial - https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/197217/home-testing-coronavi... and another that I can't find a link to at UCL. The UCL one in particular was about regular whole-family testing, although I pity the parents who try to regularly test their kids - my 5-year-old would probably chew her own arm off rather than have a cotton bud shoved a long way up her nose again...

Edit: This was also an interesting BBC podcast where they spoke to a researcher who found antibodies that respond to this coronavirus in blood samples from children that were taken years before this outbreak, suggesting that children have some kind of pre-existing immunity: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000mzpr
What was wrong with the modelling though? Even after all we know now leaving the epidemic unchecked would easily triple our yearly mortality. Based on what we know now we'd still do lockdowns. Probably more severe and shorter ones sooner.

From a city that has a lot of public transport (Prague): some people will dart in front of fully loaded buses, trams, or even trains at a railway crossing. That is humanity at its finest. (/s)

I would be pissed off if maximum speed of a train (a 20000+ bhp murder machine, by your standard) that I use to commute was lowered to some 10 kph in order to keep those candidates of the Darwin Award alive.

Being weaker (pedestrian) does not absolve you of all guilt if you decide to hazard with your life.
>The existence of a consensus opinion isn’t an argument from authority.

That's exactly what it is. The rest of your argument boils down to, "if a lot of prominent people in a field believe something, it must be because there is a lot of merit-based evidence". That assertion is completely false. Merit-based evidence is one of the ingredients that lead to consensus, but hardly the only one.
Apple always innovates on top of a user experience change. I doubt this time will be different. Tesla made the touchscreen dominant, but Apple won't copy it. Touch screens in cars leave a lot to be desired -- they aren't particularly ergonomic and they lead to screen fatigue. They also don't make much sense in a fully autonomous era.

Apple will likely build an AR-centric user experience using the windshield and new control paradigms. There's a huge area for creativity here and I don't doubt Apple can come up with something that will make a big touch screen seem archaic. If they can make the driver optional, there's even more room to think different.

> they've really thought through the UX of a semi-self driving car

Minor side note. I'm sure a lot of the experience is well-designed but I can't help but grimace every time I see that huge touch tablet instead of physical buttons on the dashboard.
So is speeding.
I don't honestly think I'd mind.

I think they should prioritise physical controls for stuff you use regularly and I'd be happy to have voice on controls for stuff I use very infrequently.

Like putting the rear window wiper on, barely use it and half the time I accidentality turn it on (or someone else using the car does) and I have no clue how to get it off again. Just saying "siri clean the rear window" or "turn the rear window wiper off" would honestly just be easier.
How was he as a boss?
Blogging about a topic is a good way to build network and raise awareness. A 10x developer surely strives to be a good blogger; writing is a key skill of such developer, and it needs to be continuously improved.
They don't need to buy GM, though. They could buy someone smaller, such as Mazda or Subaru.
> The biggest lesson from Tesla is that cars are not cellphones. Having one display off to the side, without buttons, that does everything is an awful experience in a car.

This is both the most functional and most beautiful design choice I've ever experienced. My favorite part of my Model 3. You quickly come to realize that voice control does everything and that you should never have to reach for a button or fiddle with climate controls, etc.

Tesla realized what all other car manufacturers failed to see, you don't need physical buttons because you don't need buttons of any kind. I'm never buying another antiquated car with physical buttons again.
Right. They surely could have gone with a better institution if they were honestly making the best product for their customers.
> I think that someone who produces 10x as much code as someone else has left a wake of destruction that will slow down other developers. I don’t think 10x counts if you achieve it by slowing down everyone else. I think 10x has to take into account how you impact other people.

A 10x developer doesn't (usually) write 10x as much code. They get 10x the work done in 1x of the time. The quantity of work output is famously not measured in SLOC.

I've had the pleasure to work with a few. We all know the names of most of the dozen of 25x or 50x developers that exist in the world.

I think this person is writing to their preordained conclusion that the idea of a 10x developer is a myth. It's not.
Well, I agree with you on trump but I feel like the people who have to live with the economic reality of all the mom and pop stores never reopening in favor of big international companies wont be very happy with us

Agreed. I read that this morning before seeing it on HN - and this sentence stuck out to me. These are the people who should be on the receiving end of a revolution.
No. The definition of "creativity" is to have the desire and ability to create new stuff. Many people express their creativity by creating computer programs.
Electric cars are really simple to make (Apple doesn't need the help). GM is a legacy business with a legacy business model selling dozens of indistinguishable cars via multiple competing dealerships. Its both terrible for customers and not compatible with Apple. The reason GM is priced so low is because its half obligations and dead weight. I would not personally want to bail out the doubtlessly billions of dollars of unfunded pension obligations of GM as an investment (ie, why should apple pay for the people who last worked at GM a decade ago?). Cleaning up that mess would take serious, distracting, decade long effort if its even possible.

Apple should poach the best employees from the industry, not the companies. They could probably straight up double everyone's salary and still pay less than SV engineers. I'd also look to buy out some manufacturers in the supply chain.
Monopoly on what? They sell about 0.5% of the cars sold worldwide.
Me too. Mostly because it’s a smell to me that I’m mutating some internal state. I try to avoid that as much as possible because it quickly becomes soup.
Here is the only algorithm you need to know:

1) identify the most important problem you're facing
2) solve it somehow

If you get better at your craft, you can get better at #2 as you'll understand the costs and benefits of different approaches and how to accomplish them.

You may wish to select an environment that makes use of your skills vs one that uses skills you don't care about.
This is soooo nice. I wish there was a +10 option on HN - it'd be the first time I'd use it!
It appears to consistently break zooming and reader mode for me on iOS. From an accessory view point I cannot wait for it to just die.
That sounds exciting, indeed!
Any particular recommendations?
Spent many hours on BeOS and visited their booth at PCexpo in NYC around 1999. The big draw was the multimedia centric OS where the GUI always remained responsive. It also did things like allow you to open up a dozen AVI files on a single core sub 1GHz Pentium 2/3 and not have the computer grind to a halt. Instead the videos skipped frames and you continue to work on other programs. It was a pleasant experience compared to the rough shape of early Linux/BSD and the obtuse horror show that was Windows 95/98. We even had a somewhat working port of Netscape and there was some momentum building behind it. But then came Windows 2000 and Be sorta lost steam on the desktop and then went in some bizarre internet appliance direction and it was over shortly after.

Don't quote me on this but the another powerful feature was the decoupling of media codecs from programs. Adding support for a new media codec was as simple as dropping a .so lib file into a /lib/codec directory and all your media programs now supported that codec. This applied to all media including audio, video and images. This was all part of the BeOS API.

It also had a decent c++ API and multithreading was a first class concept in the system allowing one to easily write programs to take advantage of multiple processors. That allowed the machine to easily scale as you added more processors, something Windows 98 couldn't do at the time. This was well before the concept of multi-core. Back then you needed more sockets to add more processors and it wasn't cheap.
What does it mean to not pass the great filter? Humanity or their successor stop existing?
