Sounds like the staff who quit probably enjoyed their revenge, and also got a great story out of it.
Parking structures are:

1) an eyesore
2) poor use of space in dense urban areas

Sure let’s reduce urban housing supply cause suburbanites need to drive into town for a little culture. Bringing the noise, smog, and road rage along!

Or build culture out there and bike or walk. Omg.

It’s insanely toxic, and the epitome of first world entitlement.
Same thought.
If Apple are going for a luxury EV, then they ‘only’ have to get better than Tesla. I hear Tesla still don’t have build quality sorted, and issues can take months to get fixed.

I imagine more practically minded luxury car buyers would jump at an Apple car that met Tesla on the performance front and exceeded them on the ease of ownership.
I don't think you can supply-chain-manage your way into making cars. The hard part of manufacturing automobiles isn't design, it's manufacturing. You can't just pay some third party contractor to spin up a car factory that does 90% of the work for you, like you can with electronics.
The engine of my electric car has one moving part. One. Made in house from raw materials. Rolls of steel, copper, and aluminum. It’s also considered a single part for manufacturing and servicing purposes. So not simply one moving part. One part, period.

>The number of parts/unit differs by an order of magnitude

>car companies often rely on hundreds of suppliers

See above. You must be thinking of ICE cars.

>aren’t as transferable as you may think

Other than pulling a few things off the shelf like tires, windshields, and wheels (and more; those are just a few examples) the manufacturer of my car stated from scratch. Prodigiously hard for sure but Apple is good at hard.

>will last 100k miles

Try one million.

>will take years

Again Apple excels at this.

The real problem for Apple is having Tesla as a competitor. They are used to competing with Google, but it’s easy to compete with lame. Tesla is not lame, by a long stretch.
The way heroku approaches this is by deploying the new version while the old version is running and then within a few minutes switch routing from the old version to the new version, and then shutting down the old version.

I rarely recommend videos but this one in re: Jaywalking is funny and informative: "The Real Reason Jaywalking Is A Crime (Adam Ruins Everything)"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxopfjXkArM

I was telling a coworker about this once and he didn't believe me, but it was basically a deliberate and successful attempt at mass social engineering through domestic propaganda.
We went from vilifying reckless drivers as "speed demons" to vilifying pedestrians as "jays" (yokels or hicks.)
BMW did this, too, starting with the E90 3 series, if I remember correctly. It's awful, because in almost every car I drive, and especially in BMWs (E92 and the E70 X5 I own now), the steering wheel blocks the top of the speedometer and the turn signals entirely. The "modern" turn signal sounds are too soft to be heard over music, and the switch itself is stateless. I think BMW finally gave up on it for their newer models, but I'm not positive on this.

Both the Tesla and the X5 annoy me when I can't tell the state of the switch by feel. Which is funny, because, IMO, BMW has some of the best-feeling and best-weighted stalks in the business. It sounds silly, but I positively LOVE the way engagement on the steering wheels stalks feel on my X5, and every other BMW I've owned or driven.
Building startups and finding product market fit is really hard, I suggest that if you’re this annoyed at such a small issue you’re going become very annoyed at all the failures you need to have to make something people want. I would love to know about what you are building though...
On second thought, "dissemination" / "distribution" would have been clearer. Don't think it matters so much how much money is blown in the recording studio.
If Apple can get most of their parts made by direct competitor, same can be true for car components supply chains. Most if not all, top components suppliers, can become part of apple supply chain. Apple just need to become designer company. There is plenty of tech outside Tesla, and when investment become distributed much larger capital can be employed.
Something like smallpox, then?
"Lead Developer" is just as accurate to put on your resume, no reason to put the exact technology in the title (job titles are often internal to companies anyway -- at one place my title was Senior Associate).

For every time you were given additional responsibilities, list that as a separate section. And as long as you are safe at your current job, you can just keep applying with your salary requirements, and often times places look at your salary as a proxy for how well you perform.
I have never felt safe using any touch screen while driving.
This is because information in your brain is constrained by physics. It takes tangible time for signals to travel between neurons. When you're young, you're small, and the distances are shorter. As you age, you grow in size, and the signal length grows also. Thus as you grow you literally think slower; though hopefully, more effectively (wisdom). Your perception of time changes accordingly.
I look forward to steering and shifting gears with a multipoint touchscreen, don’t you?
I’d rather point out the absurdity of two known Russian FSB operatives saying they were there to admire Salisbury’s famous 123m spire

An information dump is far more beneficial to the discussion of the case than a discredited former ambassador who tends to side with kleptocratic maniacs in Russia
I should clarify; that technique doesn’t work if there are calls between systems on different versions unless they are tested on both.

I wouldn’t run a system where the two servers call one another.

This is a technique for reducing risk via toggles at the load balancer. The reduction is achieved by making it possible to deploy smaller changes to users, and by reducing the latency of rollback.

These are only useful if you have the ability to introspect the system state in production and confirm whether a new version is working correctly.
This is exactly what always made me very skeptical about microservices (as I said, no actual experience so I might just change my mind if I start using them) - for any non-trivial problem reasoning about your data in a integrated and coherent way seems pretty daunting.
Just FYI—the title of the HTML page is still "Screen" :)
No? Susie has written 598 reviews. I think it is quite possible that

1) people within the "Amazon reviewing community" know her (by her online identity, and maybe also her offline identity)

2) friends/family recognize her profile, maybe because she has sent links to articles she reviewed, or because she shared an Amazon wishlist ...

3) it is possible to get her personal identity from information disclosed in her almost 600 reviews (maybe including pictures?).

Of course you did not share super critical information, and of course you did not write the billing address next to it. But it worries me that you choose to disclose any personal information at all for no good reason. Feels like a violation of trust.

The fact that everything is on the center display is the biggest reason keeping me from seriously considering buying a Tesla. Distractions don't belong in a car.
Prostitution exists because of the things I've described, not in spite of it. Yes if sex were truly free and easily available then sex work wouldn't be as lucrative as it is today. And, as you say, there'd be no need for it because everyone's already getting their rocks off.

One can dream...
You've completely missed it. Apple was manifestly incredibly great at the "nuts and bolts of making a phone". That's the entire lesson of the last 13 years and the most successful single product in world history.

Tesla's "you don't truly own your car" was bad enough, now one of the most prominent opponents of right-to-repair is getting into it too? Do not want.
Apple has no experience dealing with the extensive government regulation surrounding car designs. I would expect that to be a major risk factor for Apple.
> b) because there's a power dynamic. I can accidentally kill a pedestrian, a pedestrian can't accidentally kill me unless they throw a brick off an overpass.

I'd argue the opposite conclusion and say that as one operating dangerous machinery you should be given lower right of way for safety reasons. The burden should be on you to drive safely more than others to safely stay out of your way.

> So that they take responsibility for their own safety

And what about your responsibility as the person choosing to speed around in a ton of metal?

> In car-heavy suburban areas where everything is super spread out? I don't think this is a necessarily a good idea.

There's a chicken and the egg problem here. Such cities came about because of monopolization of streets by drivers. We can't change that over night but given the vast benefits of people centric urban design we should be tilting the balance away from cars and towards people.
Nu shell is also really handy for these types of format conversions (and querying):

> echo '{ "a": { "b": { "c": { "d": { "e": 5 } } } } }' | from json | to toml
[a.b.c.d]
e = 5
> supporting different mounts (Nikon F, etc)

I might not be super plugged in to how Apple does things, but I genuinely cannot see them being able to help themselves from making a proprietary mount, then being the only people licensed to sell mount adapters...
Or gravity is constant but time is not.

If 'time' is not continuous and gravity and other effects share 'time quanta' then the more gravity from any source a thing experiences the less of other change can occur - just like time dilation where your 'time quanta' would be consumed for positional change with fewer remaining for other changes.

Then it wouldn't be that the systems are orbiting more slowly, or gravity is no longer constant, but that time itself is actually slower for them.
If the start up offers market-rate wages, I am not seeing the downside. Job insecurity vs. chance to get more experience/lottery ticket? Seems reasonable .. but then again, I don't work at a startup.
The message to Iran is: "Relax, we're not going to have any conflict as long as that submarine remains in the Persian Gulf."

A valuable asset like a nuclear sub would not be risked if there was any likelihood for conflict. A nuclear sub trapped in the shallow, restricted Persian Gulf would be like 'shooting a fish in a barrel'.
See for me hooks - while a bit obtuse and weird - are not this kind of magic because they come down to just function calls. You can use almost nothing but your existing knowledge of JavaScript and reverse-engineer what's going on. That isn't the case with a lot of this other stuff
> So food is cheap because the govt intervenes, ignoring the giant private market, and healthcare is expensive because of the private market, ignoring the massive govt intervention. How convenient.

The only thing convenient is you not addressing my point :) The government intervention is a desparate attempt at not letting people die of disease and pestilence literally outside a point of care. You're asking for a dystopian hellscape. And that's what much of the last 300 years was with respect to medical care.

> In the 1980s the US did not have a 40 percent socialized system. The fraction of people on medicare was far less. Yet it was not the most expensive system in the world then. The US system is definitely failing, but it isn't the 300-year old market system that is causing it.

Yes it is.

Canada had a similar system until the 1970s, and it was bad. Then it switched over and things got better. America remained on the private system and it just got worse and worse.

Venezuela is totally and utterly irrelevant to this conversation. There are so many functioning systems with socialized medicine (all of Europe, especially the Scandinavians, Canada, Taiwan, etc, etc), Venezuela is an outlier and not even worth discussing. It's a failed state.

Whether you call it coercion or a power differential (you will die, the insurer or provider won't) this precludes a voluntary meeting of the minds necessary in a free market. Period.

If some parts are running xp exposed and unpatched, your organisation needs to fix that before tackling application architecture. The question doesn’t make sense; I might as well ask which galaxy I should colonise.

No technique or tool will fix your organisation.
This always baffles me. You buy a startup that has made some progress. You want to keep going on the current product? Then keep the employees, let the 'founders' go. The founders have done their thing. But to keep the lights on will need everybody who knows how this unique thing works.

Yet they always do the opposite. As if the founders have a clue how the software/deployment/support system works at all.
> Having a guest network also means you are not liable if someone misuses it

Wrong. Remember Dmitry Bogatov's case. Yes it was a Tor exit, not an open WiFi, but it doesn't matter. Even worse, there is now a law here in Russia that prohibits running WiFi access points that don't take technical or organizational measures to identify (e.g. get passport or phone number of) the person who is connecting.

Hopefully you fix compatibility with newer versions of windows years before XP goes end of life. A lot of people seem to have created these problems for themselves by buying into proprietary platforms that then get yanked from underneath them. You can generally choose stacks that don't have this problem (or not to nearly the same degree).

The strains being transmitted the most are likely to keep the host the most healthy for the longest time.

However, this is only true in the LONG RUN, when different variants have played out for a while.

In the short term, there could be a highly transimissible strain with a much higher mortality. It will eventually come to a point when the most common strains in a population are milder strains... but one of the reasons that happens is that hosts with immune systems unable to handle the strain die off... and those who survive do so because they can handle it better. So, at a later stage, it looks like the virus got milder, but:

- it doesn't generally apply to all strains

- the strains look mild later because only those for whom it was mild survive
Since auto supply chain in the U.S is still very strong, might it be that Apple will try to leverage them instead?

It is also the most free eyeballs your product is ever going to get. Start off with an intro paragraph like "Our new widget, available now on Amazon, is the easiest way to toast bread in the morning without starting a kitchen fire! If you like toast..."

On the flipside, my 2012 "dumb" car with the good third-party bluetooth adapter I got last year is the end-all, be-all of car electronics for me. It can only go downhill from there.

To me, car electronics should be like a Kindle is for reading. There is a period after you launch the Kindle but before you start reading where you interact with it like a smartphone or tablet. But then once you get started, the notion that you're interacting with a digital device just disappears.

I want my car experience just like that - set up Spotify, Google Maps etc. before I go, then hands off any touchscreen until I stop. And I only use the audio driving instructions from Maps.

Come to think of it, the same applies to running - set up music, tracking app etc. on your front porch, don't touch the screen again until you're finished, that's a sign of a good run.

I would say this stems from the the social benefits of consuming content that others consume.

If a large swatch of people with even weakish bonds all watch the same thing, that's a lot of additional value. Smaller groups consuming the same stuff can also work, but you need very strong bonds to commensurate.

The latter stands a chance of producers have a UBI to fall back on. It's kind of like how growing an orchard takes 10 years to turn a profit, but growing a wheat field is instant gratification.
Why isn't this that? It definitely looks like that

1. We might reasonably assume that a worker who expects compensation through due process would also expect that same due process be used against them for causing property damage.

2. If I had assumed this to possibly be the case, I could not have reasonably made the argument. I am assuming this is a case of fraud and therefore it should be theoretically subject to legal recourse. If it's possible for the workers to cause 7 million dollars worth of property damage, it should've been possible to liquidate some of that equipment to pay the workers.

3. The company responsible for paying the salaries is not Apple.

I'm not a historian, but to me the difference between despotic (and I'd say Imperial Russia was despotic at all times, given that it was always a system of unchecked executive power) and authoritarian is splitting hairs.

Sure, it would be impractical for the Tsar to exercise this authority at the individual level all the time, but all the various local vassals only had their power subject to the Tsar's unchecked authority and when the Tsar wanted them to do something, their choices were compliance or ruin.

> people don’t typically use terms like “authoritarian” or “totalitarian” to describe the Ancien Régime.

Alexis de Tocqueville does, in L'Ancien Régime et la Révolution [1]

"In this book, de Tocqueville develops his main theory about the French revolution, the theory of continuity, in which he states that even though the French tried to dissociate themselves from the past and from the autocratic old regime, they eventually reverted to a powerful central government."

You are correct. That motion of the mirror itself is responsible for most of the noise, and some wobble of the camera as well.

It's a trade-off, though. Seeing the actual image through the lens, and not a digital representation, which is what you get with a mirrorless system, has its benefits.

Apple will likely buy Tesla if Tesla goes under $300/share.
The first couple of generations of the iPod kinda sucked too. It's really hard to get everything perfect in the first generation, probably impossible. Having the agility to iterate on the design quickly so you can capitalize on the initial hype is what Apple does so well.
I’m not sure you have to look too much further than Tesla for a taste of it.
Is there a better option? And what is it? (genuinely curious, I've never had to deal with scale beyond where a single RDBMS could handle atomicity for me, and I'm curious about the best practice for handling this in bigger systems)
I've mostly been staying out of this thread because I really don't know what the point of this discussion is, but:

> Scheme is far, far more performant than C.L. and that's due to language design choices.

That's nonsensical. You're comparing language specs for performance, and not implementations here. Both can achieve high levels of efficiency from their code, depending on the implementation decisions taken by the particular compiler/interpreter you're electing to use, as well as which data structures and mechanisms you elect to use from each language.
