As awful as Tesla is, all the other car manufacturing companies are far far worse. Even with massive government incentives, even with their massive war chests, even with their massive production capacity, even with their access to capital markets for big investments, even then, they didn't make the smart move and had to be shown the path by an annoying megalomaniac who gets way too much attention.

So yes, I regret giving money to Tesla, but it is the least bad option out there as far as giving money to these car companies. The only winning move is to not play the game, but unfortunately that same government that is paying for the EV transition is the system that, by law, is denying my ability to live a car-free daily life.

There are no heroes here, nobody is doing exactly the right thing, but Tesla and the government are doing things partially right.

My main small day-to-day usability gripes with C are lack of type inference, lack of destructors and terrible ergonomics for error handling. Go solves two out of three, but it really dropped the ball hard on error handling which is very disappointing IMO.

Things like generics and garbage collection involve some deep tradeoffs, so I get Go's take on them, even if I don't necessarily agree with it. On the other hand IMHO Go's crappy error handling boilerplate is not something I find acceptable in a modern programming language.
That would depend on the transaction size and market, no? As early as yesterday, any single transaction involving ETH would have cost no less than $3 due to gas prices even at the slowest acceptable pace, and that's before the bid/ask spread on the exchanges eat some more

That is annoying in the first place, then when you try to sign up the password field has finnicky rules like requiring upper+lowercase+numbers+symbols and min length 10.

This is compounded by the fact that it does not integrate with Chrome so I can't easily get an auto-generated strong password stored with all my other ones. Nor does it allow using a Google or Facebook account to signup.
Which is kind of irrelevant---preventing the export of code is not the issue. This is an economic sanction against Iran by preventing companies from doing business there.
I agree with most of what you said.

Also, the fact that EVs produce almost zero local pollution makes them incredibly compelling. So much so that I'd still be in favour of them even if they produced the same amount of CO2 overall. Just to make it clear which "team" I am on.

I'm just pointing out that the EV debate seems to have become one of those things where people pick a side and then stop accepting any nuance.

The comment I originally replied to was making the typical glib lazy assertion that ICE cars are some terrible medieval technology and EVs are all sunshine and rainbows. It's more complicated than that.

Battery manufacturing emits a lot of CO2, to the point that out of the factory, an EV is less green than an ICEV, and it takes about 2 to 3 years of commuting just to catch up. Now with a plug-in hybrid assuming it has half of the battery capacity, it could very well be that the PHEV is actually greener than an BEV.
A smaller battery that is enough 90% of the time + an ICE to make up for that 10% could very well be greener than a BEV with twice the battery capacity.

Virtualized x86 in the browser doesn't get anywhere near the performance of a traditional VM that is doing kernel-level virtualization. Also, your VM images will be huge for most software packages that do anything useful.

The upside is obvious, it's idiot-proof and zero setup.
>If you operate recursively until the first unit of capital and the first unit of technology you end up finding that all value is the product of land and labour.

That's simply untrue. When a stock tanks, billions in value is lost. When a stock surges, billions can be gained. That sudden change is not the product of labor, nor the destuction of labor, but a capital multiplier from belief.

Also, arguing that since the first of any process happened in some manner implies that everything later in the process is created the same way isn't true.

>There are certainly a great many economists that agree with this definition

A great many are Austrian school, and would argue things like this, but this is overall a tiny fraction, and none are among the world's top economists. Do you claim the majority or even more than a small fraction of economists would agree with this definition?

>Actually, a famous economist gave a talk at Google

Name?

If what you're arguing for is the Labor Theory of Value [1], which it sounds like, it's widely and almost universally discredited. Every model macro model I can think of creates value in the manner I described above. Some intro examples [2]

Here's another take hitting more modern economics [3]. The "land and labor" is an ancient and not very tenable argument from this modern viewpoint.

The question is the cost of making things "secure as possible".

Should you harden memory? Setup SELinux? Yeah, do those things, those are good meaningful things to do.

Should you prevent users from running apps? Prevent downloads? Restrict third party apps? What about tracking everything the user types in? Tracking every app the user opens and when they open it (eg, Apple)?

What about bypassing user firewalls (Apple again)? That's for "security", right? Forcing your own DNS resolver (Google)?

User hostility is never an acceptable tradeoff for security.
The US government SHOULD be put in that situation since they are war criminals. I don't understand why we should give leeway to criminal organisations.
Don't forget that Purism also pays for the software development, while Pine64 uses that software for free (10 euro donations per sold Pinephone do not cut it).
> Running this in the browser makes for a ridiculously easy setup. You can get up and running very quickly by just giving someone a URL (probably with a pre-unpacked image)... I'm not sure of where I'd use it outside of teaching... but it's quite impressive.

Teaching seems like a great use case. Maybe they'll use similar licensing as their Cheerp compiler [0] and provide a basic community tier. You could give students a foolproof (?) way to run a controlled set of applications locally without the confusion of setting up a local VM host or the expense of hosting virtual machines for the class. That assumes your students have decent computers.

Actually, this would be a nice way to sideload real applications onto Chromebooks. Certainly more secure/accessible/maintainable than unlocking all the default protections and side-loading Linux first.

I'm not sure how the title got so wrong. The github repo named "fontpreview" allows you to "create preview images from one or more selected fonts."

Mind you, this is far more usefull to me than the original title. Though I wonder how it interacts with configuration files you might have on system. Previewing things implies that that's what the font will look like once used on your system.
It depends on your definition of "C's philosophy", no sarcasm, and no implied preference by me for any particular definition, as I believe many have merit. Language philosophies evolve, and C, being so many decades old, has evolved a lot. The original philosophy is probably little more than a seed crystal at this point for the several philosophies that have been loaded on to it over the years.

It is probably reasonable to say that Zig is closer to C's current philosophy in practice, which encompasses many additional developments over the decades to deal with various aspects of C and programming real machines that have arisen as both have changes, and Go closer to C's original philosophy of simplicity and relative ease of use. (In modern times, C is not one of the easier languages to use any more, due to significant advancements in the field of making easy-to-use languages. But it was originally intended to be an advancement there itself.)

By similar logic, I can say with a straight face that all of Go, C++, Zig, Rust, and Swift (and more) are "evolutions in general-purpose programming languages like C", despite their wild differences, because the world has gotten larger, and there is room for a lot of variations like that, each addressing different aspects of the newer, larger world.
This is thankfully work in progress at least on the PinePhone:

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/PinePhone_Software_Releases

The list contains many existing Linux desktop distros. The PostmarketOS edition of PinePhone even shipped with a USB-C docking station that you can use to easily connect a monitor, keyboard, mouse and even ethernet.
The problem will start with such offerings only if third parties (like employers or banks) demand turning this on. The patronizing of users that started with saftynet is horrifying. I think it will become crucial that some commercialy relevant group uses non play store content. Otherwise the affordance to use non main stream stuff will become higher and higher.
>This reads like a letter by someone who keeps all their money in CDs rather than stocks, because they might lose money.

That's a good thing in medicine and science- it's called the "precautionary principle". We have what we know (two does in the trials) working, so trying something new like a one dose regimen is risky.
I have a company that has over 10k teachers and am interested in anyone who wants to help drive it forward: https://www.go.literatorapp.com/ It consists of a webapp and iOS/Android apps that help teachers track student literacy.

I'm irritated by the downvotes you've received. It clearly _is_ hypocrisy.
>the epistemic assumptions we tend to make about Occam's Razor and the (so-called) beauty and parsimony.

The vast majority of ways to write a program are unreadable messes. The shortest way to write a program is sometimes an unreadable mess, mainly when it's been code golfed. The longest ways to write a program are always unreadable. Proofs work the same way - and if Alpha Go selects randomly from all of the ways to write a reasonable-length proof, it is virtually guaranteed to pick an unreadable one.

Yes it amuses me how banking apps refuse to run on a rooted phone, but the same bank's website works on the same phone. Suggests that they've placed a little too much trust in the app. Never trust the client...
These are great threads to have, but I do worry some underestimate the amount of interviewing they should do for a co-founder they've just met from here. As a rule of thumb if you can't imagine yourself being close friends with this person, it's probably not a good idea to have them as a co-founder. It's a much more important, long-term, and intimate relationship than a simple partnership or internship is. I'd suggest hanging out with prospective co-founders exhaustively, including plenty of idle, personal, and off-topic conversations before committing, and to remember that just like dating, there's a decent chance it may not be the perfect fit, so you have to be willing to move on and try again if so.
Any thoughts on a simple way to benchmark that? I suppose it'd be easy enough to time some python scripts in the hosted REPL against local execution....
This is fine. Whenever things change, some proportion of the userbase pushes back and wants to just keep things like they are. Not a problem, and doesn't mean the change is not worthwhile.

I can't imagine anyone meeting WordPress for the first time today would say "It's great but I HATE that editor! Don't they have something a bit more... classic?"
The modern web is nothing at all like the original one, so I don't really feel like it makes sense to say nothing better has come along: many new things have come along and replaced what was originally created.

But the bigger problem with arguing for projects like the LHC or the moon landing based on the side benefits of what was invented there is that there isn't really a demonstrable causal link and it provides no real support for any of the actual projects being undertaken, just to the idea of employing smart people in an environment with free time.

Of course it does. There's a separate justice system for the rich and powerful.
Let's say this guy gets 2 years for conspiracy. Not even doing the crime. He loses 2 of about 45 years in the workforce, or vaguely 5% of his lifetime income.

For this to be proportional, ticketmaster should lose either 2 full years worth of income, or 5% of all profits in perpetuity. The amount they were fined for actually doing the crime was a rounding error by comparison.
I have periodically stopped drinking coffee but didn't see any benefits, so went back to consuming it because I like it. I get plenty of sleep and don't typically have any caffeine after about 2pm. I have never noticed a difference in mental ability/clarity when drinking caffeine or not and the only physical effect I've noticed is a slight headache that lasts for about 2 days when I stop consuming coffee, but that is easily controlled with advil.

Interested to know whether anyone else has had a comment send more traffic than their own original posts.

I don't know why this is difficult to understand. Any decision Github takes has a trade-off that will affect all users. Any time they allow a bypass of 2FA and email, they are putting potentially every account at risk of compromise. It doesn't matter how good the excuse given to the Github customer service rep is, bypass shouldn't be allowed so that all users' data is kept safe.

Let me put it in HN terms. One person grousing how they lost their account due to their own fault is a minor HN comment in the middle of a thread. A person complaining that Github customer service assisted an attacker in account compromise is a front page thread by itself, probably picked up by mainstream news. Does that make Github's decision easier to make?
Are we sure the availability of options equals entropy? It doesn't appear as though we all act to simply increase our options. Preferring options over reward may also constitute delayed gratification and sacrifice, which is another interesting can of worms, but can it be predicated in terms of just preference of options over reward when those are your only two artificial options?

Human behavior appears to point towards the maximization of current order as an investment in power/potential to drive future entropy, as opposed to simply maximizing entropy. This is the difference between building a nuclear bomb and keeping it, as opposed to building the bomb to use it. When one was used, it was meant to end a war, not start one. And success in life may as well be defined by hoarding order, be it technologically, financially, socially, or just objects. The pyramids were a feat in lowering entropy, not increasing it. And we love our diamonds.

This is also an extrapolation from the evidence in biology that energy entering a system increases order and contributes to the orderly structuring of matter and hence life [1].

Sony has a head tracking OLED sub-display for VR/3D content creation in office setups, Looking Glass was doing crowd funding recently for an apparently very well done lenticular digital photo frame, those two comes off top of my head.

Lenticular 3D limits resolution to a fraction divided by double of the number of viewpoints in an axis, e.g. a 4K by 2K panel with 10 viewpoint along its width means effective resolution is 400 by 2K. Okay for demos but not practical atm.

There definitely is violent scenes and sounds in the game. I would not recommend playing it with young children for instance. However I would myself not put in the same box as other games in the "intense violence" category.

Mostly because and this may sound silly, but it's not "violence in motion". You are viewing a murder scene, and someone died, and you might hear someone take the last breaths of their life. Which has a very high emotional impact which should not be ignored. But that to me is still fundamentally different from gory/bloody games with often fast visceral violence.
As mentioned by others, the scenes themselves are calmed a lot by the dithering art-style.

I would say about the emotional content though that this hits differently from other stories where characters die because of the narrative tool. You never have a Game of Thrones moment where a character you are heavily invested in suddenly dies, because even though you learn about the passengers and feel for them in their misery, you also realize up front even before you learn about them that they have died and you are just looking at memories before that event.
FWIW, nowadays, thanks to Project Treble, most ROMs have GSI (Generic System Image) that will work on any device released with Android 8 or more recent, assuming OEM allows bootloader unlock.
