Tesla Apologizes for Its Handling of China Customer After Outcry
Seeing reactions like GP’s I’m surprised at how many people don’t know this expression.
I don't know where you're looking. I'm looking in relatively small midwestern towns (Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota) and I see listing for homes valued 20% greater or more compared with last year. A small four-plex that would have listed at $400k and sold for $380k (or so) last year is likely to have listed over $500k and may sell over-asking this year. It's ridiculous.
Completely off-topic, but I was just watching a YouTube video about lemmings with my 6 yo to answer some questions she was asking.

Lemmings to not commit suicide from cliffs, en masse. This is a myth that came about from a staged incident in a Disney documentary about the arctic wilderness. It's completely made up.

Was an interesting 5 or so minutes:

You can also launch the Windows file explorer the same way. "explorer.exe ."
I'm still convinced the long term plan is to stop people being able to boot a Linux kernel on desktop hardware (think secure boot) and when people complain the response is going to be "but you can run Linux on Windows!"
Sooooo idk about this stuff but isn't starting to pay the rent before you have permission a bit questionable?
I agree, it seems like results are getting worse, a few years back I could ask a question and get an answer. Now I don't even bother and go straight to sites to search, be it wikipedia/ github/ stackoverflow/ ebay. Googling for it is just a waste of time.
> I just write JavaScript?

This is the tell. If you are able to satisfy your business requirements with "just JavaScript" then you are in a completely different world than the people building production-grade web apps and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that. If you can be productive with "just JavaScript" then that's awesome!

However, I'm sure you understand there's a massive difference between simple pages that need *some* interactivity and a full-blown app inside a web browser.

I'm sure you've come across projects that probably didn't need the same tooling that I'm describing which ultimately boils down to a judgement call.

> I've never been like "boy I really need a virtual DOM" so I guess I've never really seen the appeal of React. It just seems like a bundle of complexity, obfuscation and anti-patterns.

That's because you've never needed it before. I've never been like "boy I really need a batteries-included web framework" so I guess I've never really seen the appeal of Rails. It just seems like a bundle of complexity, obfuscation and anti-patterns.
You made my day! So excited to try this

Besides that, if their "research" patch gets into a release, it could potentially put thousands or millions of users at risk.
I explained to you what kind of epistemic tool the Razor is. There are plenty of other tools that let you make arguments about the likihood that there was an additional person present. You can't make that argument with that Razor.

If you would like a more detailed understanding of why the Razor is limited to this use, you'll have to out more effort into learning epistemology than perusing wikipedia. It is an interesting topic and worth your time and attention.

The sort version is that this is the only way to use the razor that increases the reliability of your epistemic process.

So, by that logic, a summary must be so vague as to be meaningless, lest it risk being incorrect by the strictest of standards.

We can do better. It would be very easy to establish a broad “good-faith” standard for a legislative summary while also specifying it’s use for “informational purposes only.”
I think you have it backwards; psychological safety is something that executive leadership has to build into the culture of the company.

What it comes down to is a culture where decision making is transparent, questioning the status quo is encouraged and no one person holds the power to make / break a product. At the team level you’re always going to have good managers and bad managers, but with the right culture the bad managers blast radius will be diminished. A good manager can’t do a whole lot to overcome a shitty culture.
Do you have an example handy?
That sounds like semantics.

Who needs a privacy-respecting operating system when a popular privacy-invasive operating system runs the Linux software just fine?
Node-the-software-project is a feat of engineering.

But the API, the client language, the ecosystem, and even the idea are bad, IMO.

Bad API example: Tell me how to deal with time zones in Node without pulling in a big third party library. Answer: You can't. So, a "scalable" backend platform can't handle datetimes from different time zones? Neat!

"Well, that's JavaScript's fault" you say. Node certainly has (a few) APIs that don't apply to the frontend, so why not add more of the important ones for backend work?

Or, maybe JavaScript really just doesn't belong on the backend at all...

Not to mention that it's single-threaded, so the answer to scaling up better is to just run more instances. -_-

See? I should've stayed quiet. ;)
I tried to be careful in how I worded what I said. If I were black (I'm not), and I saw news accounts over and over about police shooting blacks for what (at first report) seemed to be trivial reasons, I would not feel safe. The number doesn't have to be statistically significant; the reasons can be better than they appeared at first report. None of that matters. What matters is that the media is beating into my head that this is going on, so I think I'm not safe. Doesn't matter whether I am or not. If I think I am unsafe, everything I said in my post follows. (Including the main point - that this isn't about economics.)
I can't wait to get this running to see Word 97 in Wine.
I think there's some disagreement on whether the CPI is really an accurate representation. For example, healthcare can vary wildly and can be very expensive.
Commercial real estate is often leased as an empty shell - while it is true that you could probably find a storefront already outfitted as ice cream store, or at least for foodservice, the tenant is probably still going to need to bring all kinds of fixtures, branding, etc. I'm not sure how the line is drawn between whether you need an architect for that or some other kind of designer, but point is that leasing a space which is habitable but not ready for commercial use is common in the US. Commercial tenants often get really broad license to customize their entire space within the confines of the walls.
Love this since I saw it ages ago, and despite a bit of Burrough's woo, it helped me to be careful, and strive for physical grace, in the things I'm doing. Personally, I tended to physical extravagance, and enjoyed that as a goofy hyper teen, all edges and elbows. This provided a surprising rationale and reminder to move more carefully. Now, I reconsider when I find myself flailing or thrashing, so that instead of pushing harder, or searching for bigger hammers and longer levers, I pause and reconsider. It's a bit of nonviolence to the world that results in care for yourself, with impacts like walking more gracefully, or remembering to turn a wrench so that you don't injure yourself when it slips.
no idea where you live but since masks have been enforced everywhere here (including: the beach, hiking trails, walking alone at night), with the police actually checking people, we've had 3 subsequent waves of covid. i'm only talking about exteriors because i haven't seen a single person not wearing a mask inside – no mask in a shop? you don't get allowed in.

expecting more than this and discussing the result of a study that can't really be done in a lab is debating philosophy, but of course critics can go on downvoting.
You see that very much anywhere where an outsider wants to disrupt entrenched market participants - they have a friend on the city council while you do not. This sort of corruption isn't at all confined to San Francisco.

In my corner of the forest, someone tried to get permits for an apartment complex that would have relieved pressure on the rental market and cut into the profits of the established landowners. No permits for him, and the rent remains too high!
In Ireland there was a referendum to repeal the ban on abortion referendum there was very heated arguments, bot twitter accounts and general toxicity. For the sake of peoples sanity, there was a "Repeal Shield" implemented that blocked bad faith actors.

This news makes me wish to implement my own block on the same contributors to any open source I'm involved with. At the end of the day, their ethics is their ethics. Those ethics are not Linux specific, it was just the high profile target in this instance. I would totally subscribe to or link to a group sourced file similar to a README.md or CONTRIBUTORS.md (CODERS_NON_GRATA.md?) that pulled such things.
What aspects of this are actually SF-specific ice creamism, is there political chicanery preventing this category of business, not understanding the permitting process/timeframe, or spending lots of money without derisking the project?

Or is it/also a "gubberment regulation always bad," "anarchism/libertarianism small gubberment always good" hit piece?
if you google, you can find a reddit thread that has the full text.

The tl;dr is that he paid $7,500 * 24 months ($180,000) in rent before deciding to give up. 1 year of that was held up by competitors directly nearby filing to block his permits, so he had to wait for court case. The other year was in architecture planning and permits (which included health permits since it was food related). And he then estimated an additional $120k (plus ongoing rent) to actually build, so he gave up.

Prop-H apparently did away with the anti-competitive allowance of nearby businesses to object and it forces the city to respond to permit request in 30 days. But unfortunately, he has already enriched a landlord for two years in the process.
To me even 90 days is insane, at least in Indonesia, you could open an ice cream shop tomorrow in your own house if you would like
Should it take a year to open an ice cream shop? I get it when you want to build a GW scale nuclear reactor or a vaccine manufacturing plant that it takes a year of permits or longer. But an ice cream shop.
YMMV. VirtualBox couldn't coexist with WSL2 in the beginning, and even when support was officially announced by VirtualBox and listed on Microsoft's website, it still didn't work for a lot of people. I had that problem during 2020 and gave up, but it appears that others are having success in 2021: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/WSL/issues/798
This doesn't have anything directly to do with the specific topic, which is the culture of whales. Please don't take HN threads on generic tangents.

On HN we're interested in the diffs [1]: what's specifically interesting about an article. Generic tangents pull threads away from that into the gravitational field of the nearest large topic, sort of like a spaceship flying too close to a black hole [2]. The generic topics are larger, more familiar, and more repetitive [3]. Familiarity is seductive, but repetition is bad for curiosity [4], and curiosity is what we're trying to optimize for [5]. The generic themes are usually more sensational and inflammatory, too, which is doubly not what we're looking for.

It's super tempting for threads to hop to the most-generic adjacent orbit. Often they make several such hops. By the time a discussion reaches "People are cruel", that's a good example of a black hole. No light is going to come out of such a thread.

p.s. Not saying the generic topics aren't important in society at large. They're usually much more important than most of what's on topic here. But a site like HN needs to stick to what it's for.
> How many line engineers at Google let alone a random tech company can question a VP/director's pet project? Heck, how many middle managers can? Psychological safety should mean you should be able to call BS and be okay with others calling your BS (in a non-inflammatory way), but in reality it means stroking others' egos, especially of those in leadership.

Employees should have psychological safety to voice concerns within their domain, but that's not a license to start backseat driving upper management. It's one thing for a line engineer to raise concerns about their team's choice of frameworks for a project or the chosen architecture of the system. It's a different issue entirely if the employee is simply "calling BS" on company directives or cynically referring to initiatives as "pet projects". From a managing perspective, there is a stark difference between people who voice concerns reasonably and those who simply like to complain.

The good team members raise their concerns with an open mind, seek more information to understand why certain decisions were made, come prepared with alternative suggestions, and most importantly are willing to disagree and commit if they don't get their way.

The bad apples do things like "call BS" on initiatives without understanding the whole story, aren't interested in learning more, don't have any constructive suggestions, and tend to drag their feet or spread dissent through the ranks when they don't get their way.

Psychological safety doesn't mean employees get a free pass to be disgruntled or push back against what they're being paid to do. Questions, concerns, and alternate suggestions are welcome and should not be punished, but at the end of the day employees must be willing to commit to the chosen direction and get on board with company initiatives.
Then there is also the downstream effects of buying these "safe" bonds on the secondary market: strip mining the "highest" quality collateral out of markets, and making markets ever more reliant upon fewer on tradeable cusips…
The world works better without everyone being untrusting of everyone else, and this is especially true of large collaborative projects. The same goes in science - it has been shown over and over again that if researchers submit deliberately fraudulent work, it is unlikely to be picked up by peer review. Instead, it is simply deemed as fraud, and researchers that do that face heavy consequences, including jail time.

Without trust, these projects will fail. Research has shown that even in the presence of untrustworthy actors, trusting is usually still beneficial [1][2]. Instead, trust until you have reason to believe you shouldn't has been found to be an optimal strategy [2], so G K-H is responding exactly appropriately here. The linux community trusted them until they didn't, and now they are unlikely to trust them going forward.

Sure. Apologies.
I'd expect in aggregate at the country level, its fairly accurate.

E.g. its unlikely deaths increased 100%+ across all of india due to existing death-causes.
> “Hey. Do you have a minute? I think I have a psychological safety topic.” I was stressed. Without a single frontend developer in our engineering team we were starting to slow down. I had finished the performance profile and sent it to my teammate two days ago.

It's weird, there are so many of these pieces and they all sound the same. Is there a template that everyone uses who wants to get into personal brand building? "Start with a direct quote. Then set the context with some sentences. Now throw in a snippet from some study you've read. And use funny images!"
If you allow development to happen in SF, think of what will happen to the historic laundromats[1]!

> What's preventing those bad actors from not using a UMN email address?

Technically none, but by banning UMN submissions, the kernel team have sent an unambiguous message that their original behaviour is not cool. UMN's name has also been dragged through the mud, as it should be.

Prof Lu exercised poor judgement by getting people to submit malicious patches. To use further subterfuge knowing that you've been already been called out on it would be monumentally bad.

I don't know how far Greg has taken this issue up with the university, but I would expect that any reasonable university would give Lu a strong talking-to.
1. You had it before in Linux, too; what you didn't have is OpenGL acceleration under for Xwayland clients.

2. No, CBL-Mariner uses Weston, and then RDP to tunnel it into the Windows side. Client decorations are CSD, for window management you will be stuck with Windows shell. Try PowerToys (Fancy Zones), makes it less painful.
> Reality also incentivizes sharing things publicly.

Lol, no it doesn't. This is some strange, un-self-critical shilling for Facebook driven by an impulse of what seems only to be contrarianism.
Ouch. You didn’t even have to do anything crazy with that money (like YOLO BTC). If you just kept it in VTSAX your down payment would have gone up 57% in the last three years.

Maybe from a developer perspective, the grail is a confident salary and a kind team. Shipping well fosters, but does not guarantee, both. From a management perspective, "pyschological safety" is not about self actualization but performance.

Management is foremost about solving the problem you are accountable for. In development, that will likely mean that success is when the team ships something useful to the business.

In an unsafe environment, members of the team are afraid to act and speak. The working relationship devolves to "tell me exactly what you want done". Teams can ship like this but managers need to overperform and it sucks for everyone.

In a safe environment, manager and team have a shared understanding of what the goals are, and we work flexibly to acheive them. if something doesn't work, learn from it and try something else. Collectively, we still have to deliver. For sure, we can all be safe and still fail. Safety needs to improve the odds.

The manager question is "how do we best ship?" What dynamic best predicts team success for a given goal? The bet is that a safe team will perform better at solving the typically squishy problems that stand between you and shipping well.

My belief is that safe teams perform better by allowing more people to engage constructively and critically on any one problem (more traction), by learning efficiently (low latency), and by demonstrating work incrementally and frequently (more cycles). This is failing fast, failing better, and converging well.

One additional point of "safety" is the question of "how do you want live?" As manager or team, what do you want work to be like? People flee harsh teams. How do you succeed then?
Yes, hyperinflation is a universal regime-ending event, but 50% annual inflation (a more plausible target while the USD is the world's reserve currency) is no joke, and would be on a completely different level than stagflation of the 70's. How it would play out in the world's largest economy is anyone's guess. Replaced hyperinflation with "major inflation" in my conclusion.
Thank you for these specific points of advice.
You're right. Fixed. SQLite is more-so the winner but Mongita appears to squeak ahead in id lookups https://github.com/scottrogowski/mongita/blob/master/assets/... (to be fair, it might be the thin translation layer I built). Regular MongoDB struggles a lot and I don't think I'm being unfair to it in any way afaik.

Thank you for pointing that all out.
This is a naive reading of what has happened.

There may well be some cross immunity in some communities due to previous coronavirus circulations. And the numbers in China are not all that credible - one guy at my work had three of four grandparents die of "some winter cold" in March last year. It will be quite some time before the numbers in China become clear I think.
The article says, "number of people being cremated at special Covid sites"
Maybe not environmental review, specifically (which differs quite a bit state to state), but zoning and onerous building regulations more generally are a significant factor. At this point the burden is really on detractors to explain why artificially limiting supply for decades didn't affect prices.
After all, there must be something diabolical when Microsoft is just doing something to appease devs who have for years railed against them for being dev hostile.
Sounds like a place that really doesn't want small businesses.
Yeah this is just like when IBM's OS/2 ran Windows applications. Software developers thought "Great. I'll just code it once for Windows and be on OS/2 for free!"
As long as in the end you can disagree and commit I’ve found that being willing to disagree in the first place is treated as a moderately positive trait by most managers.

If you won’t disagree and commit that’s a different story.

I mean, “the iPhone prevents well-behaved software from accessing data without a password” and “software, known to exploit vulnerabilities to get around security features, currently doesn’t have any such exploits” are very different.
Should be a top-level comment.
I think that is a sensible way to deal with this problem. The linux community is based on trust (as are a lot of other very successful communities), and ideally we trust until we have reason not to. But at that point we do need to record who we don't trust. It is the same in academia and sports.
I imagine it'd be hard to get a permit to open up a shop at a property you don't own/rent.
I hope they take this bad publicity and stop (rather than escalating stupidity by using non university emails).

What a joke - not sure how they can rationalize this as valuable behavior.
Awful idea, and also wrong.

The only two true rights are freedom and property.

You are born with free will, and you can do whatever you want, unless someone actively prevents you from doing it.

You are born with your body, which is yours, your original property, and is the source of all other property you may gain through your life by using your body (including your brain) as a tool to obtain it.

Those two rights are yours by origin, you were born with them, society doesn't need to give them to you, all the other rights are just corollaries of those two, and whatever infringes these rights are not true rights.

The right to life is derived from the respect others should have for your will to live, and the fact that they shouldn't damage your body (property).

In your comment you are painfully confusing right with a warranty. There is no warranty for anything. Even in the midst of civilized society there is no warranty you'll live, what you do have is the warranty that society will do its best effort to punish those who killed you.
As much as I'd like to believe that the Microsoft of 2 decades ago is dead, I can't help but feel like this is a clear example of the "embrace" part of EEE.
