Yeah, they just keep moving the carrot. By the time Tesla comes with FSD the current model lines will have reached their end of live and the $6k+ that people paid will be lost with the car.
Just a note that it’s useful to think about what merit criteria you have and what really matters for your job. There’s a lot of room for biases to sneak in under the guise of an objective measure.

For example, looking for only people who graduated from a certain tier of school limits you by adopting whatever discriminatory practices that those schools have adopted. Or looking for people with a particular experience that is rarely afforded to a particular class of people.

Instead, by working identify the merits that actually result in high performance and then working to evaluate those in an interview can get you better and more diverse employees.

I wonder why they could write "Fruit" as a complete word, but "Vegetables" was too long? It appears a few times in a few images. If it was shortened to be 'hip' you'd expect "Fru" and "Veg".

It's odd to see certain words being dumbed down in other countries, be it 'trimming' or using a version you'd use when communicating with children (as per usage presented in popular media, i.e. saying "eat your veggies" to a child).

white men in power want this to control all others below them. Its a divide and conquer strategy.
There's an old joke / adage in Italian, which goes something like this:

A lawyer and a client are discussing an agreement. The lawyer says: here we f* them; here we f* them; here they f* you. Here also. And the client is left asking: why when we f* them it's us, and when they f* us it's just me?

This is just to say that, most likely, PwC didn't pay anything, nor any of their lawyers or consultants go to jail.

> "Becoming a GM" only seems possible for people who reached master strength by their early teens.

Mostly, I think, because becoming a GM is a full-time job and you don't earn any money while doing it.

You need to go to a lot of tournaments around the world, continuously study to get prepared for opponents, and have enough money to fund it all.

So, you really have to want it as an adult and have nothing else that you would prefer to do.
I use em dashes a fair bit (and have to remember the spacing style of the publication I'm writing for). But I'm much more inclined to break a sentence in two rather than use a semicolon unless there are two very connected thoughts.

If I kill your brother, is it proper justice for you to kill my brother?

Many crimes are irreversible; and revenge only serves to make the victimized feel better but ultimately does not restore balance. Justifying revenge quickly leads you down to inhumane punishments - after all who's to say the victim was given their fill of revenge? This is why there has always been a philosophical line between justice and revenge.
The story in the linked article details despicable conduct.
I would at least start by distributing for free all standards targeted by a legislation.

Because those suckers cross-reference each other like crazy, a standard can have only a few paragraphs of useful content (and pages and pages of legaleeze and revision management around).
There's an important distinction here. Laws (and court decisions) are freely available in many (most?) places. Relevant commentary on how these laws are applied tends to be more costly.

I'm not very familiar with the situation in France, but I can offer a data point from Switzerland: The civil code is (of course) freely available online and in PDF format. A printed copy is available for CHF 15 or so¹, both from the federal press and from other publishers who might throw in an index or a keyword reference at the same price.

However, if you're actually looking to apply any of the contents, you'll want qualified explanation and references to jurisprudence alongside the legal text. Affordable commentary² on the civil code start at CHF 250 or so, and the industry standard "Basler Kommentar" to the civil code is sold as two volumes, retailing for CHF 598.- each.

¹ It's a few hundred pages; IIUC the price pretty much reflects the cost of printing, binding and logistics. Key point: Nobody is getting rich off of selling these.

² For the civil code, specifically, you'd be in luck: Some consumer advocacy organizations publish hands-on guidebooks that are significantly cheaper than the usual commentaries. So you might get by on CHF 100 or so. But these tend to not be available for other, less mainstream, laws.

What are the criteria for 'best'?

If MIPS offered adequate performance and features, good performance-per-watt, and a competitive licence fee, and if none of its competitors could beat it, doesn't that count as 'best'?
Late reply here but yes, canbus is binary, so is midi. They are both pretty simple. When I say that Protobuf is harder then canbus what I mean is that you have to deal with e.g. variable length integers (“varints”) and key offsets. And yes, that’s very true, full spec parsing is a pain, but that’s also a very rare special case. “In the real world” you usually don’t really care about full compatibility. If someone can find and send your printer data to get it to print securely and your customers can browse and login to your web page and your app, and you can send your Kafka messages to your order service, then everyone is happy, and none of those things require a full spec parser for anything.

I call it a dark pattern because it indirectly discourages the use of interoperability in file formats.

The suggestion is 'use xlsx or suffer this annoying pop up'.

It's an easy fix. Have an option to disable it.

The other dark pattern, since we are chatting about them, is that you cant disable auto formatting. Excel will try to guess at your data, forcing you to jump through hoops to prevent it. The subtle suggestion is 'just use xlsx and this problem goes away' when in fact, they could offer an option to disable autoformating.
pricing page is fixed, it should be more clear now
There's the other end of the stick too: in many countries, where white collar crime is treated almost like a joke, both in terms of fines and jail time, you'd need to throw a shoe to a judge to get sentenced.
US in general is a legal minefield with so many shades of grey. Not sure what's the ideal model but it's definitely not on either side of such stick.
It's not completely random, e.g. it would be very hard for a politician in USA to convince population that it is a good idea to bully Canada. And it would not require any convincing for Turkish citizens to accept any action against Greece. So being extremely suspicious of Turkey is the only possible policy for Greece.
That's kinda true for most things in competitive arenas, right? Sports, chess, e gaming, etc. I hate it, but at mid life I'm way slower thinking than I was 20 years ago, there's no chance I could compete with young people on raw talent in many areas, I might win some online games because of superior strategy, but I'll never have the speed to beat young, experienced gamers.

Barcelona: Particulary sad. As a tourist one could sense the unworthiness of this proud city going thorugh this transformation. From something that stood on its own feet (rich, industrious history) and aimed at creating its own future (there are still some tech-giants left - although it feels like remnants of a once brighter outlook) into something dependent on wealthy foreigners, whether it is domestically unbearable rents or a battered public life because of agressive hawkers at day and aggressive thieves at night (which eye the tourists, but pollute the place for the citizens as well). I remember somewhere in the 2000s Barcelonians put out a map for visitors (domestic and foreign) of what kinds of robberies/con games to expect in what area. And then there was of course this guy: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2015/aug/11/commuting-fro...
Knitr theoretically supports anything you can call from R. Chunks pass their code and options to "engine" functions that return the results. Knitr provides a bunch of engines out of the box (Python, awk, SQL). But you can also write your own.

> Justice can't be separated from rehabilitation. If your punishment system predictably increases recidivism rates for crimes that have real-world consequences, then you basically are punishing innocent people for other people's actions.

If we grant humans responsibility then this is not true. If we jail someone for knocking over a liquor store and then he gets out 5 years later and kills an old lady, the responsibility for those crimes is his. Not "society's," not "the criminal justice system's," only his.

My argument is that humans can make choices and therefore we are responsible for our actions. You argument is that humans cannot make choices, we are rag dolls tossed around by fate (or whichever system you feel like attacking).

> Unless you plan to keep every prisoner in prison indefinitely, then the state that they are when they leave prison matters. It doesn't just matter for them, it also matters for everybody else who lives alongside them in the future -- people who don't deserve to live in a worse, more dangerous society just because we determined that somebody else completely unrelated to them didn't suffer enough yet.

> Prisoners who leave prison without being properly rehabilitated are a liability and a risk for everyone else outside of prison -- and even if you don't care about the prisoners, you should at least care about the other citizens who live around them.

Talking about "prisoners who haven't been properly rehabilitated" makes my skin crawl. Criminals are human beings and you don't have a right to mold them according to your whims just because they broke the law. You only have a right to punish them in proportion to their crime, nothing more or less.

You believe that through empirical and rational reasoning you can "rehabilitate" criminals in order to reduce crime. I don't think this is true. I think your perspective is driven by emotion, a distaste for punishment, and a sense that the downtrodden are always right. But even if it is true, I'm against it on humanistic grounds.

A society where criminals are punished proportionally to their crimes is an end in itself.
For one or two standards? There's just the headache of getting approval to spend the money.

But when it gets to dozens/hundreds, plus requiring vendors to have their own copies, it quickly multiplies into a massive burden. And that's not even getting into the open source issues.

Not to mention the fact that you might not know if you NEED the ISO until after you've already bought it.
No is the simple answer. It's like education and certificates, everybody will encourage you do it but won't be around to give you a job.

All the 'Yes's reflect survivor ship bias. (ask them to access you once you learn some basics which should not be difficult, if they are willing to put their money where their mouth is)

Of the more nuanced answer is - it depends. ( not elaborating on that because it often will not be useful advise).

And finally the only way to really find out is to plunge in - you will know in 5 years where you stand, you will be either doing well or really miserable.
Being able to steer the car effectively is only one part of an enormously complex engineering problem. A fully autonomous vehicle would need to:

1. Be robust to bad visibility, not an easy task in computer vision.

2. Have access to extremely detailed maps that include things like driveways and parking lots. These maps would need to be continuously updated. The labor required to make and maintain such maps will limit how many places cars can be fully autonomous.

3. Understand the etiquette of the road. For example, a person seeing a car stop in the street near a parking spot would assume the car is about to parallel park and give it room to pull off the maneuver. An autonomous vehicle wouldn't give it so much room, because it can't reason about context in that way.

4. Negotiate ambiguous situations requiring interaction with other drivers. There are frequently situations where it's not clear who has the right of way from the rules of the road. People resolve these by gesturing with their hands and with their cars. A fully autonomous vehicle would need to understand these signals.
I am curious, for example, why "Constellation" and not, say, "Comet". I've done quite a lot of volunteer work for jails and prisons, so yes, I'm dismissive that the guards would care about that. The article mentions they are using a chessboard, noting moves, etc. Nothing about keeping it secret. What was banned was face to face board games in common areas.

Issues with guards come from different scenarios than this one. The cell areas are typically very loud and chaotic from a noise perspective. That's mentioned in the article.
> problem with someone fitting into the culture, then it is the culture that needs to change.

So the team should change to accept a racist, a rude asshole, an elitist narcissist, all the other toxic personality types.

In my experience "doesn't fit culture" is code for they're an asshat.

Culture in this context doesn't mean ethnic culture. It's referring to work culture, work ethics and personality at work.

Also thinking the world needs to change to fit you is the epitome of entitled snowflake attitude. A cultural misfit anyplace I have or would work.
I think the issue is "a minute." You still feel pressured to get moving and keep talking, even if it buys you a little time. My favorite part of the job is whiteboarding with colleagues, but in an interview there is something that feels inherently adversarial about it. This isn't necessarily the fault of the interviewer either, it's just sort of baked into the format. There's a natural power discrepancy: the interviewer makes the final call, and they selected the problem to begin with, which means you can't possibly be on equal footing. That imbalance means you spend the whole time on the back foot. I'm not sure there's a better format available, but that's definitely an unnatural environment and can lead people including me to perform much differently than they do in a normal work environment. Unfortunately it may be the best we can do.

> To be clear: you think economics is _not actually empirical_

That is a misrepresentation of what I said.

To be clear, I think what I said:

>>A large part of economics is not empirical at all

E.g., as an example, Kahneman's Nobel is solely a product of taking an axiomatic theory and designing experiments where regular people who are actually not being paid according to their performance are gently prodded into violating the axioms in weird settings. It is attractive to people who want to claim that clearly the plebes cannot be allowed to choose for themselves as they are not "rational".

The only meaning of "rational" in Economics is that individuals choose the best alternative according to their preferences among a constrained set of alternatives. Here an "alternative" or "bundle" is a point in the entire commodity space.

The only test of this is consistency with GARP: A choice is not rational if a feasible and more preferred alternative exists.
Fruit & Veg is a common expression in the UK.
They do meet the factual definition whether you like it or not.

If I'm Palestinian, I live my life completely according to the rules of Israel (because of the blockade and checkpoints and control of the territory). As a Palestinian, I also cannot vote in Israel and will never be granted the ability to vote in Israel, in order to preserve the ethnic majority of Israel. As a Palestinian I can also have my home taken away from me to make room for Israeli settlers.

That's apartheid.
It's not just technical and marketing, it's legal too. And this article references emails from tesla legal team. So legal is telling dmv that it's L2 so it doesn't have to get permits, but that doesn't mean the tech isn't destined to be L3 when it's fully developed and they are ready to submit themselves to regulatory scrutiny.
Then they don't decapitate, they decorporate.

> So you are a real engineer and Musk is not?

Real engineers don't bullshit. Real engineers understand that there is a certain responsibility that comes with people trusting their lives to their engineering skills. Real engineers can give you confidences on everything in hard numbers with data. Real engineers can provide realistic estimates of timelines. Real engineers make mistakes sometimes, admit them candidly, and know perfectly well how to adjust those timelines based on past estimate errors and extrapolate adjusted project timeline estimates with basic math. Real engineers know the limits of systems and how to write spec sheets that describe them accurately. Real engineers don't always know the answer to every question, and know when to say "I don't know".

It's managers, investors, analysts, and sometimes customers who don't want to listen to those extrapolations and estimates and uncertainty. And so many real engineers gradually become increasingly fake, because the other (corrupt) parts of the system spread their toxic thinking into the engineering.

I have a lot of respect for Musk, who was a real engineer, probably REALLY wants to stay a real engineer, and is still mostly an engineer. But he is indeed forced to be a part-time <strike>bullshitter</strike> non-engineer by the system, which demands bullshit by its very incentive structure.
“Fruit and veg” is absolutely standard British English idiom.

A common advice is to avoid playing anything in prison. You will always be forced to pay something if you loose (and you probably will loose because people don't play fair there) even if you didn't intend to bet.
I'd say the dick move is firing someone without any kind of coaching or explanation about what you'd like to see done differently. The coaching should have happened well in advance of the firing.

A firing that comes as a complete surprise to the employee is generally a sign of a bad manager (not always, but true enough to be a useful heuristic).
I'm not sure I am; the current behavior is almost always surprising and unexpected. You effectively need to keep a list in your head of everything that will clear your clipboard, which is really a list of everything that could ever cause problems, more often than not a flag that is entirely unrelated to your actual intent/action.

You might as well have it clear the clipboard if your next action isn't immediately paste and be done with it. Just don't bother to set the expectation that pasting will work like elsewhere.
That'd be quite the underwater cable. It'd span about 900 km to get to the Scottish mainland:

Level 3 requires that a human be available to take control in a certain amount of time.

Whether that's a mistake depends on how long that amount of time it.

For example, 10 seconds is perfectly safe. It's fine to completely ignore the road until you hear the beep, because 10 seconds is plenty of time to look around and figure out the situation and take control.

I would argue that any system that requires constant human concentration is not actually level 3.

Level 2 is the one that's dangerous by design.

Edit: Though since the main difference between level 3 and level 4 is the ability to pull over, I wouldn't be surprised if level 3 gets quickly left behind or skipped entirely by many developers.
