Yeah, that’s sort of what I like about the Tesla: the interactions I care about are almost all accessed through the controls on the steering wheel (volume up/down, next/previous track, play/pause, cruise control adjustments) or through sticks. The screen mostly is for setting up music when you first get into the car, navigation, car status info (speed, fsd visualization, speed limit, energy consumption). Also, when charging, it’s nice to have a big screen for Netflix.
Apple makes more money per unit selling an iPhone than most automakers make from selling an entire car.

The auto industry has historically been a low margin, low volume, high capital investment industry with significant government subsidies.

Yes, I remember that "you're holding it wrong was" a) actually several years into the product, not at the beginning, and b) was hilariously overblown and not a real issue for about 99% of users, including all users who had a case on their phone and almost all users who didn't, and c) a reliable identifier of cranks that don't really know much about the iPhone.

I was waiting for the Muskians to swoop in and spread their nonsense.

Guess what? I drive a white model 3 long range AWD and I love it. I'm still 1: an engineer with 10 years of hardware experience and 2: skeptical of every ounce of BS Elon Musk has ever spread.

You know how many parts are under the car? Have you taken one apart? They're complicated machines with, again, orders of magnitude more parts than a phone. Forget ICE vehicles, we're just talking about EVs and iPhones. You don't think Tesla relies on thousands of suppliers? Who do you think makes the screens, wiring hardness, cameras, brakes, glass, acoustic devices, steering, battery temp management, motorized seats, etc etc. And who do you think supplies their parts? And theirs? And so on and so forth. Its a complicated web of suppliers and manufacturers, much more so than what goes into a single iPhone (which is still very complicated). This is why a Tesla costs 35k+ and an iPhone costs ~1k. There are more parts that are more complicated and manufacturing them takes more time, effort, and people. Elon may have a magic car printer in his wet dreams but that won't happen in reality for four, five, or six decades.

Also, nobody, I repeat, absolutely nobody is holding their breath for you to hit 1m miles in your Tesla. Currently they don't even have a story for repair and so many parts are fused that if something breaks you can't replace it. The car is totaled. I recommend you watch all of the early Rich Rebuilds on YouTube if you really want to understand some of the nitty gritty details of these vehicles. Yes they are simpler than a normal ICE. By an order of magnitude? Certainly not. Progress is made at the margins, in increments of 1% then 5% then 10% then 15%. Not 1000% in one swoop.

I’ve shopped around a lot and most projects targeting a similar featureset are generally adopting the Next.js APIs for server-side data fetching. So it’s probably not as bad in terms of lock-in as you’d expect.
JSON is so slow and inefficient. All that marshaling and unmarshaling is crazy. Binary formats will rise again.

This comment says it best I think, "On the other hand, if you only need 53 bits of your 64 bit numbers, and enjoy blowing CPU on ridiculously inefficient marshaling and unmarshaling steps, hey, [JSON parsing] is your funeral." - Source https://rachelbythebay.com/w/2019/07/21/reliability/
Am I right in saying that the goal of any lockdown is not to completely stop the spread of the virus, but to instead merely keep hospitals from filling up?

The health of the population, in general, is not the primary concern. We just need to stop the hospitals from collapsing.

We live with all manner of sickness and disease every day of the year without trying to eradicate them. Covid is only different from heart disease, lung cancer, and rabies in that it has the potential to swamp us.

Adjusting the throttle for spread might mean jewelry shops being open but sandwich shops being closed. It might just as well involve lockdown for anyone born in an odd month, or with a name ending in a vowel, or ginger hair. The measures are arbitrary and only used as a throttle for the inevitable spread.

This is how I sleep at night. The alternative is the worrying thought that no one in power really knows what they are doing.

In the UK we have a good setup where is a pedestrian walks out it's on the driver to be careful and try stop, therefore the presumption is normally that the driver (or larger vehicle generally so lorry>car>cyclist>pedestrian) is at fault in most cases. It sounds chaotic but in practicality it's balanced by the fact most people don't want to be hit by a car and we teach kids from a young age how to cross roads.

I'm a fan of IBL style courses. I don't know if it scales well but it isn't obvious to me that it can't. If a student can teach better than the teacher, then that should be good enough. The point of higher education is to create independent critical thinkers. IBL is particularly good at this in STEM courses by my personal experience. It's a narrow perspective admittedly.

I suspect this is how education was really done before all this non-sense about grades. Elite schools select for the the best teachers anyway. Plus, knowing that students can eventually produce other students makes it easier for researchers to focus on their specialty. They may even come to the students for help.

I'm not a big fan of time and deadlines either. Being quick and clever is great but you can do just fine being a conventional thinker that is persistent and diligent. The point is to refactor the academic system to be robust enough to adjust to a person's life. Right now it is a rigid system traumatizing the people it's supposed to serve.

I think if you look at historical atrocities, most of them cracked ahead without needing records (eg Hutus vs Tutsis, Myanmar people vs Rohingya, US Settlers vs native Americans, whatever). Also in the last century governments have had records on almost everyone and for the majority they have not had atrocities. I think it's a mistake to blame one for the other. Even with the holocaust although IBM record keeping may have made things more efficient, anti Jewish pogroms had gone on for centuries before.

It's insane to me that for a few years so many organizations were somehow convinced that MONSTROSITIES like trying to do distributed transactions using things like 2 phase commit just to make the almighty microservices god happy was an acceptable way of doing things.

The first law of Microservice architecture should have been- do the microservice boundaries you have defined result in the need for cross service transactions? If so, slam on those breaks hard.

I have to agree. As far as I recall the Netflix search engine has never found the exact title I've been searching for. Even the recommendations it then shows me are so far off piste that they're not really even close to what I'm looking for.

At least with Amazon Prime there's a high chance they'll at least find the title one searches for and if I am really motivated I can pay a few bucks to watch it.

Netflix just draws a blank.

That's not to say I haven't watched some entertaining things on Netflix, but they seem much better suited to TV series than movies, and I almost feel like I found decent things to watch inspite of their recommendation system, not because of it.

An ML tool from Netflix? It feels like the last thing I'm likely to use.
Congrats1 This was always a dream of mine to get to this with raptfm.

Definitely consider creating a preset which positions the users around an object or in relation to each other when they first arrive, e.g. "conference meeting table" or "trailhead".

Another one is carefully composing the physical constraints within a space, especially when others are present. In virtual, social boundaries no longer hamper us from flying around or other behavior which can alter how a shared space feels for everyone. It may be necessary to impose rules of movement to preserve the main premise of communication.
As for the first one, I think the reason was that Navalny called him after the investigation and clearly showed at the beginning of the conversation that he knew a lot of secret things, including the surnames of the other agents, facts on when and where they were, etc. Probably, the FSB guy just couldn't believe that there was a chance that a person who doesn't work for the government could be so aware of the details of the operation.
FWIW I think a sane (ground) transportation system would have at least three or even four inter-connected subsystems:

1. Pedestrians

2. Bikes

3a. Cars

3b. Buses

3c. Trucks (shipping)

4. Trains

(And we're starting to get motorized bikes and scooters which might be their own category, at least by speed/power/safety measures.)
Not exactly a plateau. More like a singularity threshold.
There's no evidence that was the root cause of the hack.

Also, you have to design for incompetence. Technical users are the most dangerous ones of all.
Are you joking? Do you not realize that any current problems were caused by the current system?

>So instead of trying to solve the problem of crushing student debt, we let people at 30-35 tank their credit score so they can never buy anything again.

Seriously. The inability to discharge debt is the primary source of crushing debt. Predatory lenders can turn you into a debt slave through student loans and you have zero recourse. Since student loans are guaranteed by the government it doesn't matter to the lender whether you are able to pay the loan back or not. They can just give a $100k loan to someone who is 100% going to drop out. It doesn't even have to be your fault. Universities are incentivized to spend money on student retention and basically zero money on actual education.

>So we're doing NOTHING for people 22-30, and we're ruining the 30+ year old's credit so they can't actually buy a house. It doesn't help anyone. That's our point. It does nothing to solve any real problem, it just makes everything worse.

Except lenders are not going to hand out $100k loans willy nilly anymore. They will actually have to look at what and where you are studying. If students can discharge their debt then it's possible for lenders to make losses and do you know what businesses hate the most? Damn losses. Those losses will have to be covered higher interest rates and do you know what happens when people are faced with greater interest rates? The maximum principal they can borrow shrinks and there will be no more infinite flood of money that inflates tuition costs year by year. What about people that can't afford the loans? They can always choose a cheaper degree. If getting a CS, EE, civil engineering, law, medicine, whatever degree improves your employment chances so that you can pay off your loan without trouble the interest rates are going to be way down and thereby make it extremely obvious which degrees and schools are the most lucrative. You'll be able to measure the quality of a college and its degrees by the interest rates the lenders charge and even in the worst case you can get rid of the loan trivially. Collges will be able to make money off of good education instead of just admitting as many students as possible by luring them in with an expensive lifestyle.

It's funny how Americans keep telling me about the advantages of hire and fire and how it increases economic efficiency while simultaneously they have the most socialized private education industry on the entire planet which means they get none of the benefits of socialized education and none of the benefits of private education. Seriously your current system is so broken even abolishing it completely without a replacement would still lead to better outcomes than whatever crap you currently have.

Apple's been reasonably good with the buttons they do make, like the crown on both the watch and their new headphones. Also, a dedicated silence switch on the phone is something not every manufacturer thinks is important.

The title should be changed to say, generating cryptographically insecure random numbers with coins and a cup.

Apply the von Neumann trick on top of the results and now we're talking. The real benefit here is the cup-based flipping technique creating independent trials.
Another take - and why I like AMP.

Web developers deliver crap, ad laden slow websites - with HORRIBLE users experiences.

Content jumps around as the web page loads, sometimes even 5 - 10 seconds later!

Autoplaying content is hell - but they seem to love it.

Popovers, unders and sliders gallore.

And for some reasons the GIANT mess of analytics trackers and CSS and dynamic content means the thing is

a) slow
b) nightmare on a phone

Google has basically FORCED a bunch of these idiots to actually make a page usable and pleasant. It loads fast.

What I don't get - all these high and mighty web devs can't seem to deliver clean websites that work without Google beating them over the heads with AMP. Is it that they cower in front of management with demands for YET ANOTHER tracker (seriously, websites ship with like 10 trackers - why?) They feel the need to show off their lazy loading dynamic content skills that jank the page?

So thank goodness for AMP, perhaps developers will actually try to compete with it a bit by building usable non-amp websites.

And trust me, users are getting trained that the lighting bolt actually does mean FAST.

Anyways - when I read another rant from a web developer about AMP - a small request. How about de-jankifying and de-scamifying the web first a bit more? Then we won't need to turn to google for all this stuff.

> When we say that a random number has 78 bits of entropy, what we really mean is that an attacker has a 1 in 2⁷⁸ chance of guessing the random number.

I don't have any experience with cryptographically secure randomness, I'm just curious. Assuming an attacker knows that a biased coin has been used and that a random number has 78 bits of entropy instead of 128; how in practice would the attacker use this knowledge to guess the random number?

> It isn't synchronous, it only looks so.

Ah, all the more dangerous then.

I appreciate that throwing promises is a clever flow control hack and that y'all have proven it to be a useful micro-optimization, at least in current V8. But my experience tells me that I'd rather a junior developer write incorrect async/await code than accidentally introduce a synchronous dead-lock. Async code that looks synchronous can mask synchronous code that should be async much easier.

> However, they do leave us the ability to use sync I/O in the cases where it makes sense

async/await don't stop you from doing that either. The .NET CLR/BCL has a lot of optimizations in place today for fast-pathing synchronous Task<T> (and now ValueTask<T>) code. As Promises become more and more common in the JS ecosystem it should be expected that more and more such optimizations will arrive in JS engines "tomorrow".

Even if we don't feel like we can expect such optimizations soon, server side code is obviously easier to scale for the application developer and less needful of such micro-optimizations, and I think adds more weight to my gut instinct that explicitly async (async/await) code on server side would possibly be one good way to make a distinction between client and server-side only code.

Hm - but older from what perspective? Since light travels at c, aren't all journeys light takes instantaneous from the point of the photon? My understanding as well being that all known natural processes (like beta decay) are time-dilated at relativistic speeds.

But a train is on specific tracks where a pedestrian has little need to be. That's not the case with cars, which intermingle heavily with pedestrian areas. In those cases I think it's perfectly fair to restrict their speed for safety and to put the onus on the driver to prioritise safety. The alternative is we either ban cars from pedestrian areas completely or we just accept the deaths or heavy inconvenience of pedestrians (which seems to be the current US model).

The above poster was talking about the entire car not just the motor. Sure, the motor is far simpler than an ICE. But there's still a cooling system, with pumps and hoses and heat exchangers. Those are all parts. There's still seats, with sensors and motors and mounting rails. There are steering assemblies, with linkages and actuators for power steering. There's the whole infotainment system, which contains just as many parts if not more as an iPhone would have. So when comparing the idea of a car having an order of magnitude more parts and complicated supply chains its still true even with an electric car.

I'd say that subjective passage of time is more related to the amount of time you've lived.
