Having worked at a car dealership- don't work at one of those, at the very least. Like many established industries, being a car mechanic doesn't have too many ways up from there- you can get all the certs you want, but you'll never be management- and compensation increases are based more on tenure than anything else. If you can teach yourself and then get into a performance garage or something like that, go for it! You'll likely wind up better off buying a project car to learn on or going to a technical school in off time than going full-tilt into mechanicary- and you'll have a chance to see if it's right for you before you switch. Also, if you like that stuff, and want to create things, consider mechanical engineering of some flavor.
Exactly. The concern was that you'd immediately and mostly find Slate Star Codex (or NYT articles discussing it) when googling "Dr Scott Siskind", i.e. the name of your psychiatrist. The other direction, successfully googling "Scott Alexander real name" is much less problematic.
To be clear, Amazon is taking over maintenance of ES and Kibana. That’s explicitly what’s happening.
I find Visual Studio intolerably slow, I don't quite understand why but it's been bad since at least Visual Studio 2017. Rider and IntelliJ are both much faster and I prefer them.

The documentation is excellent in my experience though. I love it. Visual Studio is really the only Microsoft developer tool I don't like. Even Visual Studio Code is much better.

Don't forget that we've just come from a world where the US president would continually cite "people are saying". Which people? Name them.
And Amazon wouldn't have ElasticSearch without Elastic.
According to the World Shipping Council, “Upon review of the results of the twelve-year period (2008-2019) surveyed, the WSC estimates that there were on average a total of 1,382 containers lost at sea each year.”[0]

So this was actually quite a few to lose from one ship!

Its not exploited. There are several other license options Elastic could have used other than the one that says "Do whatever you want".

The license communicates to others how you approve the usage of your copyright work. If you aren't communicating "do whatever you want" don't pick a license that literally says "do whatever you want".
Look, I posted the article for context. Not to support the OP. Notice how I didn’t even say anything.

I have no idea nor pretend to know the timeline. I just know that Apple is working on Project Titan for a while now.

Take your issue with the authors who wrote the articles.
I doubt it. There's no reason to bother doing the research to add another mechanical component which can wear and fail early, when you can just put a more powerful electric motor in.

That's the thing: the incentive structure has changed. The better use of time and research dollars is going to be just upgrading that motor till it's adequate. There's a logical cap on the maximum road speed you need to accomodate, so the problem is eventually "solved" in practical terms.

I think if you're writing a widely read, critically acclaimed, publicly available blog and feel that anonymity is crucial for your safety then yes, it would be appropriate to practice opsec.

Journalists should be hostile, in the sense that they should not collude with subjects on how to present a story to the public. The crisis in journalism we see today is that there is too much collusion between subjects and journalists.

There's a clear public interest in knowing the identity of a subject. Ideally there would be no journalistic discretion at all. Reveal the information, unless there's a clear, concise, and open policy rationalizing not doing so.

Kafka is an ASF project, and not controlled by Confluent. There is nothing stopping anyone from offering a hosted Kafka.
You seem to be conflating Kafka with Confluent's own products.

>No. Apache Kafka is licensed under Apache 2.0. The license change only applies to our Confluent software that was previously called “Confluent Open Source”: Confluent Schema Registry, Confluent REST Proxy, Confluent ksqlDB and some Confluent Connectors.

I love that they try to make it sound like they even have a choice in changing Kafka's license.
My understanding is that that was a myth. The data which was exfiltrated from Parler was retrieved through their mobile API, which allowed for easy enumeration of content and didn't implement some expected access controls (like blocking access to deleted content).

>The problem was that AWS is better at acquiring customers for their competing hosting service.

I would actually take this a step further and say the problem was that Elastic apparently never had no plan for how to deal with Amazon. If hosting is ever on the table, this has to be part of the plan from the beginning. For every customer that says "your hosted solution won't work for us, we're thinking about deploying on AWS" they have to be able to translate that into profit. This seems like a lose-lose for Elastic as they have effectively ceded all that away to this fork. The use of SSPL also seems like nonsense here that won't result in them seeing a dime from Amazon.
> They believe that restricting their license will lock others out of offering managed Elasticsearch services, which will let Elastic build a bigger business.

meanwhile AWS is fighting for what?
That makes sense. Too bad it doesn't work that well yet- could also be used in cases such as this: https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2021/01/21/highland-hospit...
I certainly agree.

Even when Apple formally announce a product, there’s still a possibility that it will get canned. Like AirPower.
I have no affection for Elastic Co, but why should they sit there and let Amazon eat their lunch?

Maybe I’m forgetting something but I can’t think of a single significant open source project created by Amazon. As far as I can tell they prefer to keep their differentiating services proprietary to their platform. That’s about as far from open source as you can get.

There’s nothing wrong with that per se, but I do think it’s pretty rich that they’re going to try to claim the high road in a dispute with a company that actually has created something as useful as Elasticsearch and released it as open source (with caveats, yes). It’s pretty easy to be high and mighty about open source when you’re on the taking side.

It seems to me that if companies like Elastic can’t defend their ability to make a profit from companies like Amazon there’s a good chance we’re all going to miss out. I think it’s pretty obvious that Amazon’s not going to create the next Elasticsearch and release it as open source.
that part really made it "chef's kiss worthy".
If AWS has only 35% of that market, shouldn’t Parler have no problem moving to another platform? If they can’t find another platform willing to host them, I’d say the problem is Parler, not AWS.
That is not true. The law applies to who the Treasurer of Australia decides it applies to.
Yes in the US politicians using private media channels is common and I think it's one of the largest contributors to the partisanship in the country and general engagement driven circus that politics has become. Even with a 'proper politician' such as Obama I'm not sure where the presidency ended and the Netflix deal began.

If everyone has the feeling that politics feels like a mix of a season of Survivor, the West Wing and the Apprentice is because that's precisely what it has turned into.

I don't think politicians should 'speak their mind' to the public in unmediated fashion, and everyone would be better served if the focus was on successfully conducting the business of government rather than politics as entertainment. I haven't counted how often Angela Merkel went on private TV in her 16 years as chancellor but my guess is it was fewer than a dozen times.
Not OP, but it doesn't block Twitter sponsored posts for me.

> People dont like to think they are being tricked, and will actively reject truth if it contradicts what they already believe.

I never liked that study because people always read it like that.

When people receive new information, they try to make it consistent with what they already believe by making the smallest possible change to the existing belief system to make them consistent.

That could be as simple as just not believing you.

This can strengthen their belief in the existing thing because they just evaluated it against some potentially conflicting new information without rejecting it.

Just not believing you doesn't work for an article like that because it's reasoning rather than facts. They have to find a hole in the logic if they want to keep their existing beliefs. So they'll come up with something like, maybe that's how it works for other conspiracy theories, but this one is real so it doesn't apply.

But now the logic is in their head, so the next time the conspiracy theory has to be reframed to match a changing reality, they notice that what's happening is consistent with the logic. It makes them doubt.

And the more information and reasoning they're exposed to which is inconsistent with the conspiracy theory, the more they doubt. It just like how the Big Lie works, but in reverse. You expose them to truth and logic over and over until they can no longer make the conspiracy theory consistent with it.

> Doing something like this can be great, but it takes time and effort, meanwhile acts of terrorism are being committed now.

"Acts of terrorism" aren't speech so as soon as they go there they go to jail. I mean they were planning it openly on Facebook, it was kind of a discredit to law enforcement that they weren't arrested for the conspiracy to begin with.

> Most qanoners dont really believe it, and if separated from their echo chambers, will deradicalize themselves

But that's why we need free speech, right? To avoid echo chambers.

Even if private censorship is allowed, that doesn't make it a good idea if it causes people to leave for some Voat-like cesspool where they won't encounter ordinary people anymore.
Noooooooo! You may be undervalued, or in the wrong field. Einstein was not an accomplished baker- you might just not have found something you feel you fit into. It might also be impostor syndrome- please don't devalue yourself because you don't like your job or what you do there. Your job doesn't define you.
I was at Intel. Everyone I know who was good was systematically Assassinated or otherwise undermined by the career mediocre. The spectacularly good moved on to Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook etc.

At this point, suspect it’s nothing but dregs. Would not hire any of the people I left behind who are still there. Period.

> Tesla or one of the Chinese or Indian manufacturers who produce low-end EVs in higher quantity than Tesla

I don't see Tesla ever becoming a gargantuan multinational carmaker giant like Toyota or GM - it's just not in their corporate ethos. I compare Tesla to Apple: they're technological leaders who set the benchmarks (and own the patents) but who also keep a relatively small and simple product matrix. There's loads of computer form-factors that Apple doesn't produce products for (e.g. rugged laptops, industrial control computers, "affordable" computers, and so on) - the demand for these products which are typically lower-margin are met by other manufacturers and I see Tesla being fine with this: let Toyota, GM, etc stress over meeting demand for a sub-$30k BEV while making hardly any profit.

I think the importance of self-driving / autonomous cars should also be considered. GM has Cruise, but Toyota, Ford, Honda, etc are either uninterested for some reason, or hoping Google or Apple will license them their Waymo or Titan system, or playing catchup very, very slowly - given Tesla is looking like they'll make their FSD an open-beta this year (and a public 1.0 release before the year's end, I hope!) that further widens their moat and with their current (overinflated, I admit) valuation that could see them buy-out a smaller carmarker to cement themselves should anything detrimental happen in the medium-term.
He doesn't have the power to do anything. He's just researching stuff and reporting it. Many of his complaints have been ignored BTW, so the powers that be are not just doing whatever he wants.
So in a one world government China and India should decide what's best for the rest of the world... Got it.

I'm pretty sure that the Emailer wasn't a friend, but just some random guy. And I don't think it's the suggestion of war crimes that's humorous here, but the idea that some random guy emailed him with creative suggestions for revenge. It is a pretty absurd situation, especially when you consider how disproportionate that kind of response would be.

If you don't find it funny that's fine, but I'm not sure it's fair to construe that paragraph as an endorsement of war crimes.
I use this on my Roborock S5 - it’s been flawless - no fuss, and completely reliable. Hooked up to home assistant. Only time I’ve had to restart is for the rare update.
> Distributing it widely means enormously lowering the risk of it all being lost.

You may not have intended it, but that sounds like loose statistical language meant to misguide the reader. Yes the probability that ALL is lost is lower when works are distributed, so your statement is correct. But what actually matters is the expected total value of the works successfully preserved over time under each methodology.

I’d bet on libraries, specifically top tier institutional libraries, where they have whole preservation departments for whom disaster planning is a key responsibility.

Yep, that 40 million really is cheap. An apples to apples comparison puts 200 MQ-9 for 8 billion vs 600 F-35’s for 400 billion. So about 40 Million vs 667 Million.

But that’s just the start, the MQ-9 costs about $3,600 per flight hour vs ~35,000 per hour for the F-35. Though that slightly favors the F-35 because training an F-35A pilot costs a little over 10 million dollars.

That said, the MQ-9 is designed for a very different role so per aircraft numbers are deceptive. F-35’s have a much higher payload, higher top speed, stealth etc.
Everything sound of the Rio Grande is Latin America.
Them using a trial version is not a myth; that is from the official Okta Twitter account.

My understanding of the scraped data is that some APIs used both sequential keys, and ignored both permissions and their soft delete flag. It’s not clear to me whether or not that API was permanently unauthenticated, or if it failed open once Okta locked them out.
People getting mad about a code of honor in a decades old, brutal business environment is truly bizarre to me. This isn't a playground pickup game, it's business.
Working with a team on a project with a moderately complex build process (say python and node), it soon becomes a painful to onboard new team members and get their dev environments set up.

Even assuming they have the same version of macOS, homebrew constantly evolves so getting everyone developing with the same version of dependencies as you use in prod is super painful. If they’re on Linux they likely don’t run the exact same distribution as prod.

Even if all that is the same, maybe they have to work on multiple projects simultaneously with different dependencies.

Scroll down to jurisdictions banning fossil fuel car sales. It’s a problem only until the government no longer allows you to buy a petrol vehicle. Canada’s ban starts in 2040, although I expect that to be pulled forward to align with other jurisdictions targeting 2030.
Found the surveillance capitalism apologist. I know it may seem hard to accept, but the ubiquitous presence of cameras and other broadband sensors to facilitate widescale population monitoring hasn't been nor arguably should be the norm.

> it basically just demands that Google negotiate with media entities for a price-sharing agreement

This is not an accurate summary of the law's effects. Yes, that's part of what it says. But if they can't come to an agreement, Australia gets to set the price sharing amount. And declining to link to news content isn't allowed, so if it costs Google more than the news is worth, well then it's effectively just a tax that applies to only a single company.

This is like if I, the mayor, said, you must negotiate with this man to rent some rooms of your house. If he doesn't like the price you give, I'll decide what it is. No, you can't choose not to rent rooms to him.
> It’s a problem only until the government no longer allows you to buy a petrol vehicle.

Right, you're nailing it - it's a problem today. A problem we could solve today. By popping a range extender under the (currently empty!) bonnet of a Tesla. Then everyone could get an EV, figure out how to make it work right now, and be ready for the way forward.

Don't think about what we could be doing by 2030 - think about what we could achieve right now!

And it's not just about petrol - don't fixate on when petrol is phased out - it's about diesel as well.

(An unrelated problem is that EVs need more form factors, such as off-road vehicles, which Teslas don't currently do.)
None of this is happening because someone posted “punch a lib”.

Your argument is extremely disingenuous. You can read through AWS’s complaint against Parler and see some of the shocking content they refused to moderate.
A lot of things that may be sound career advice in SF tech scene would make terrible advice for other fields and other places. One example is frequent job hops. SF software companies may not judge you negatively because of it, but Zurich architecture firms (as a random example) might.
But Google won't be in their jurisdiction any more, right? So everything is working as it should? Not a capital strike on democracy. Simply Google and Australia deciding to go their separate ways.
No thanks. Apps like Firefox should use the libraries - windows, menus, etc. - installed on my system. Please don't ship your own libraries for this stuff.

Containers are an even more insane approach, so maybe we are in violent agreement.
The identity of a subject is perhaps the single most important piece of information possible to contain in a news article. It certainly shouldn't be left out when known, merely because the subject prefers it not be stated.

If there's a clear, consistent, and disclosed reason for not revealing the subject's identity, that's one thing. But you're suggesting journalists, or worse subjects themselves, should decide whether their identity has journalistic value?

Furthermore, I disagree with characterizing the use of one's real name as a "slip up". It seems like pretty clear evidence that the author did not seriously care about their anonymity.
No open source license prevents people from capitalizing your project. Adding a non-commercial clause to an OSS license makes it not comply with OSS anymore.

Preventing companies from hosting the software with propietary changes can be done with licenses like the AGPL, but again, the objective is not to disallow commercial use, but rather to force the source code to be available for the users of the software.
Relevant quotes to answer the title:

You might not see it, but that is what is required to justify the stock market price.

And the vision of becoming that is not exactly new. See https://www.tesla.com/blog/secret-tesla-motors-master-plan-j... for Elon Musk laying out that plan back in 2006.

And he's been sticking to the roadmap. For example that blog post was the first public announcement that they would eventually produce a family sedan called the Model 3. And indeed they eventually produced a family sedan..and called it the Model 3.
So useful. I have been wanting this feature.
It's a consequence of development times. Large, complex projects take a lot of calendar time. It's generally more important to keep things from going awry than excelling.

Consequently, you look around and see nothing but conservative people putting in their time. If you're someone more driven, you get tired and leave.
I guess "I believe this is correct." would be more polite. But on a social media site where everything is about prompting the next comment, and no one can unilaterally end any conversation, it's obviously toothless. In that context, the "polite" alternative could come off as tentative.

I hadn't heard "twitterism" before. Is there a list of these? I unplugged from Twitter more than a year ago, and have benefited immensely. But I'm sure I'm missing references because of it.
