The pitch on their home page is "puts academic language features to work". But one of those academic languages, Haskell, has a GHC-based compiler to Webassembly (asterius), and it's not clear why someone would prefer Grain if "academic language features" are what they want.

There are a bunch of languages that compile to webassembly, including Rust, Golang, Python (via Pyodide), and Kotlin, so that by itself isn't a great competitive differentiator either.
We hope one day there will be a decentralized version of Etherscan, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko with no human team behind them and let the code track the liquidity pairs since day 1 with logo, description, and detailed information about a project uploaded directly and instantly by the token creators. (Uniswap that's something you guys can excel in)

I got into crypto, seeing the philosophical beauty of a peer-to-peer seamless world where decentralized ideas can flourish and around the world can have equal opportunities to build projects. However, in the past decade, I have witnessed some of the most audacious displays of centralized cabal back-door deal makings and maneuvers that may suffocate and kill creativity in the decentralized crypto world.

We can all do better for the decentralized future that we all hope to build. And I will contribute with my effort, start with Dogemusk.

We suck up to no one. We are truly decentralized, unruggable, and here to stay.
It’s doublespeak. To regulators Tesla claims level 2 but for customers they brand it as literally “Full Self Driving Beta.” That way they can avoid any unpleasant regulatory certifications of the actual capability of their system.

“Just weight the steering wheel and it’s basically level 3!” - probably something a Tesla salesperson has said to a prospective buyer

This is a complete non sequitur as a reply. The commenter you're replying to asked people to prioritise his grieving family's wishes over your own curiosity. He/she was absolutely right to do so.

Your reply talks about other families who lie and state a false cause of death, which would be morally wrong but in this case is completely irrelevant because that's not what's happened.

The one bit of your comment which is relevant, I think, is wrong: namely "the prevalence needs to made public so we treat these things like the crisis they are". We have anonymised statistics on suicide and overdose deaths. That is not the same as demanding a specific person's cause of death - and the sense of generalised academic interest you're alluding to is plainly not the reason for which people are curious about how he died. I wish we would get a grip on ourselves here, because it must be upsetting for anyone who knew him and is reading these comments, as surely some of those people are.

Edit: I died of a heroin overdose, briefly, before I was resuscitated. If I'd died permanently, my family may well have wanted to keep that information off the record permanently (easier in my case of course because I'm not a public figure). It's easy to think in the age of Wikipedia that all information is in the public domain and belongs to everyone. It's not, and it doesn't.
> If you let the water fall far enough, it would hit terminal velocity

Does it ever hit terminal velocity? There is no air in front of it, just more fast falling water.

It's well known that water gains velocity until it vaporizes. I assume it vaporizes because some small flow turbulence gets strong enough to atomize it once it reaches enough speed.
The decline in the wage share: bargaining power of labour or tech progress?
Ok 3 cities. Russia is in Europe like Turkey is. So make that 4 cities.
Foolish consumers and their primitive notions of “ownership”.
That is a good point. Perhaps a different statement makes more sense: it's hard to believe that there are no options where the benefits outweigh the harm.
This may be controversial, but I don't agree. Any legitimate item can be used for bad things if someone wants.

At the risk of making a bad analogy, a car can be used by someone to go on a rampage and mow down hundreds of people. If that happened you can be sure that someone, somewhere would suggest that the auto manufacturers have a responsibility to stop this kind of thing from happening again by making a "kill switch" available to police that can be used to stop the vehicle remotely.

Another bad analogy would be using a hammer to kill someone.

Clearly there is a fuzzy line there somewhere. I am not saying that companies have no responsibility in keeping their products from being used in bad ways by bad people, but I do think it is important not to only look at the bad thing and say that companies need to stop that bad thing from happening at all costs.
> The Ioniq 5 is currently the top of my

Same. We used to have 2 cars, we ditched one early on in the pandemic and haven't missed it. Now we just have a small Toyota Aygo which barely fits a stroller for the kid.

I'm trying to postpone the need to buy a car as long as I can to have more electric options.

We just bought an electric cargo bike with a kids seat and that has been great too so far.
“Gracefully” could mean put the hazards on, gradually reduce speed, and move to the shoulder. It doesn’t have to mean “come to a halt in the middle of I-95”.

> This is why I pirate shit

I stopped seeing any value in purchasing/renting rights to movies and shows from the streaming giants. Want to watch The Office, sorry removed, no longer on Netflix. Oh, you are in a country that has a funny name, content not available in your region. Oh, you are trying to access your Hulu subscription from a Linux device? Max video res capped at 480p. It is such anti-consumer moves that makes me not feel bad for pirating.

IMO, the most maximum returns on home media consumption is gained by acquiring and archiving your own collection of media. I don't have to ask anyone for a license to watch my favorite movie from 1999 when I have the copy on my plex.
Cool, didn't know SVG has this capability but man does it look ugly
I'm okay if the terms of the rental or subscription are clearly defined. For example, I have no problem subscribing to Netflix and I expect to lose access to its library if I stop paying.

What is not okay is buying a perpetual license and lose access to it because our big tech overlord decided someone shouldn't and go away with the money. At least locking the account and forbidding access to buying more content would be a fair middle ground IMO.
My reading of the Tampa Bay Times article is that the company name was copied from that of a supposedly defunct front for a spammer. The individual supposedly behind it has done DoD contracts before and has supposedly retired.

Both of these leads have a lot of "supposedly"s attached, but the one to the spam front is a lot more tenuous.

I've actually taken this on existing infrastructure (Amtrak has a bus from Sacramento to South Lake Tahoe). The train to Sacramento from San Jose takes at least 3 hours and the bus takes another 3 (in winter weather). It's not terrible if you want to go to Heavenly but would be completely useless if you wanted to go anywhere else.

Also, last mile transportation in San Jose/SV, especially if you were carrying around skis would be a pain. Add in the fact that it costs $60 each way and it just isn't worth it. There used to be ski busses that did the route (and presumably would take you right to the slopes) but I have no idea if they still run. Those seem like a much better option.
Speaking of bad@ss, the Hummer EV sure looks the part...
> I’m asking how do you price things reasonably if they potentially last forever?

They can potentially last forever, but humans don't. Since Apple's stuff is associated to a personal account, I don't see an issue here, vinyls can also last for a life.

On the other hand, consumers have lost the right to lend, give or sell the stuff they buy. That's not priced either, and we see every possible move be done to make these operations user-hostile, if not forbidden.
Musk recently admitted on Twitter that Google is far ahead, so he finally seems to face reality.

Some acquaintances in the industry have said for years that Tesla is in the bottom of the self driving competitors.

While Tesla has a wealth of data, Google has thrown countless PhDs at the problem for over a decade and is not anywhere close to level 5.
Ah, okay, that makes sense. Do I get it right that there are then essentially these two additional problems going on here, beyond short-term slots being a scarce resource:

- When manufacturers change their minds quickly and pay the price to buy up a lot of slots last minute, they are effectively also "burning" some slots that will simply no longer add to worldwide production of anything? and

- Being such a big customer with a high variance in demand, the car industry have are making it nearly impossible for the rest of the market to make rational decisions based on long-term forecasts?

(It might sound like I'm stating the obvious here but I know how often I think I understand something but later turn out to have missed the mark completely anyway.)
I think it may be like an elevator.

About 15 years ago, I had to spend a little over 3 weeks in Beaumont, Texas, for work, leaving Beaumont just before Thanksgiving. I dislike flying and wasn't paying for the trip and had never taken a train, so asked to take Amtrak.

My train trip was from the Tacoma, Washington Amtrak station to the Beaumont station and back, via the Los Angeles, California, station. It's a 3 day trip each way, and so on the return trip I was traveling on Thanksgiving day.

Pretty much every stop that day had a ton of people getting on and a ton of people getting off, often whole families. They were all just taking the train to the town a few stops down the line to get together with family from the neighboring towns for the holiday, and then return the next time a train going the other direction came through (trains came through each way three days a week on that segment).

So yeah, it may not make sense to have a cross-country route if you just consider people who are traveling from one of the route to the other, just like an elevator does not make sense in many buildings when you just consider the volume of passengers traveling between the penthouse and the bottom of a five level underground parking garage.

But just like an elevator between that deep garage and the penthouse is also an elevator between every other pair of floors, a cross-country train route is also a route between every pair of stops between the ends.
This is very nice, but I'm more curious about why there is a "repostindays=413" parameter in the URL :)
I just signed up for amberelectric.com.au. They offer the wholesale power rate (set every 30m by the electricity market authority) and the wholesale solar power feed rate, for a $15/month flat fee.

They avoid the Texas problem by limiting the maximum rate to be no more than the government regulated "default power offer" over the entire year.

Planning on getting both solar power and a battery system in the next 12 months, changing my electric hot water to a heat pump and moving to hydronic heating and split system airconditioning.

I'm also going to install a second circuit back to my smart meter that will connect to my apartment garage space so that an EV charger can be installed in the future.
I don't know. I have many tapes at home.~15-25 years old. I almost never touch them, but when i do they seem to work fine. Maybe the quality is bad, but i have nothing to compare it to.
I hope Amtrak is capable of using these funds in a non-corrupt way.
The person who's going to come up with new idea's isnt spending their time memorizing old ones. They learn to index where to retrieve knowledge when necessary in order to allow them to cover a wider breadth of knowledge. And this will allow themand to pick the best one for the job at hand as opposed to the tool they are an expert in. Sometimes you need a handyman instead of a master plumber because they are better able to see the big picture beyond all the shit.
There is a few companies releasing PR announcing they’ve achieved level 3 and 4 but I don’t feel like I’ve seen any on the street (or maybe they are hard to spot?).

I’ve been in a few Tesla and they drive themselves quite well (I’m not an expert in self driving but I’m a good driver)

I’m genuinely curious, which other manufacturer has a similar level of self driving as Tesla, can deliver an electric vehicle within a week on my doorstep within the same price range?

This is exactly why the more I think about it, the more I just want to git-push-heroku-goodbye and be done with it.

I don't care about setting and maintaining AWS instances, docker containers and jenkins.

The older I get, the more I realize how precious my time is and now I have very little patience for anyone or anything that wastes it.

This is also why I've basically cut off all social medias from my life (except HN occasionally), have always preferred working from home to avoid wasting time in traffic, have cut off people who I don't enjoy spending time with and spend more time with my family instead.
Trump was correct that it is the Wuhan flu, that the WHO was involved in a coverup, and that it's pointless to work with them.

Yeah, I think some light editorializing would help here even if the list content stayed the same.
> It's simple: if apple want to terminate your account, they need to refund you for any content you lose access to as a result of that termination.

I like that idea a lot. I would add that, at the very, very least, they should give you a personal link to download a snapshot of all of your data from their cloud at the time of termination: email, calendar, contacts, photos/videos, docs, et. al.

There’s a big difference between 2 weeks and 1 month, we know that now. Also the main concerns of the article are long term protection and protection against new variants. Both of these issues can wait until more people are vaccinated, and again we don’t have long term data on J&J vaccine, and I don’t see why it would be better than the mRNA vaccines.
on a second thought, we could re-use the names and some of the texts on these slander sites with the newly generated posts (with the generated picture) to give website administrators a hard time figuring out which post is a real person and which one is a duplicate, bonus, google will index all these "john doe" and "jane doe", bluring the real person/victim in a ton of results with different pictures so anyone looking at the results will think the site is total garbage (which it is)

Not where I live. You can’t sign away rights given to you by law.
But I can't buy a car from any of those self-driving competitors, so it doesn't seem to matter.
That's way too strong of a statement. Musk is personally very popular and that spills over to Tesla and SpaceX. You can't make the claim that had it not been for Musk's bullshit self-driving claims that Tesla wouldn't have been able to raise funds. In fact, I think those claims made little to no difference.
I’m with you. The original applications of Project Builder, Interface Builder and TextEdit were better because they were focused.

Feature creep is never a good thing.

It’d have been better to build tools for Swift in its own right, allowing those tools to integrate - probably by using distributed objects.

But, it isn’t that way so such is life.
Flightgear has so much potential... I really would like to see its development advancing faster and become more popular among flight-simmers.
Do you have an accurate pendulum measuring system?
I think the absolute time and distance is what matters, and it would still substantially benefit from being high speed, even if it is meandering through upstate NY and along the great lakes.

Eventually, a more direct NY - Chicago high speed rail route could be built that is even faster.
It’s common knowledge amongst most educated people. Sorry if you had to find out by googling. Probably a sickening feeling if you’ve been a subscriber or passed along any of their retracted news as fact. I too used to trust the nyt, but “show me incentive and I’ll show you the outcome.”
Explore a new platform. When I moved to a Linux desktop a few years ago I felt like a kid again.

It could be any hackable platform - Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Windows, Linux, Android, Tizen, PineTab/Phone/etc..
And the other part of the problem is that you're going through a continental divide. Prior to air travel, I assume NY to Chicago was a major route so there may be good reasons for why the routing is as it is.
Apple can just rent you their entire catalogue similar to Apple Arcade or Music, then nobody would say you own the entire selection, just like it’d be absurd to say you own Netflix forever.

In the Netflix case it’s be even more difficult to argue since Netflix doesn’t own the IP and the catalogue is ever shifting. I’m afraid the future is rental at least because the consumer is no longer technically prepared to own and manage their own digital catalogue.
I don't understand why people think Lucid is going to be so great when they aren't even mass-producing yet.

It's easy to forget that building a concept car or small quantities is dramatically easier than mass producing something that's affordable to the masses.

I own a model 3 and I certainly wasn't dumb enough to pay the 10K for the FSD. That being said I'm not a fan of the other electric cars because the charging infrastructure is garbage. Whenever I stop at a non Tesla charging station I have a very high probability of having to try two or three different plugs before I can get remotely decent current. Electrify America is the network VW was forced to fund after the diesel emission scandal and it's pretty bad. ChargePoint is the other one and they're not very good either.

Definitely don't think the build quality on Tesla's is what it should be and I look forward to the factory in Texas coming out to solve that because Fremont is not going to cut it.

That being said these other cars might be better for the price but good luck charging them.
Oddly enough, I see people stopping in the middle of I405 quite often (about once a month)

> In the future, you won't be allowed to be anonymous online.

I avoid extrapolation because it can be very deceptive. We're talking about this website, now. As it is, it's very easy to have two accounts: one linked to your startup/company/real identity, and another one where you can express your opinions more freely.

Yes, of course there are many people who are aggressive about their views and basically intolerant, but if someone crosses the line they'll be downvoted here too, even if they have leftish/progressive views. Frankly, of many places on today's Internet, HN is one of the nicest to be.
I think he wasn't aware that he was overselling it. He suffers(?) unrealistic optimism. This is a double-edged sword: the drive and self-belief can spur progress where prior consensus was that something truly feasible was unrealistic, but it can also be an almost Theranos-esque "we're almost here, it's really happening!" delusion.
I could recast each of those as:

- Effective cost benefit analysis that realizes rail is a net win environmentally

- Ability to control costs & graft on large projects to keep labor costs reasonable

- Effective government that understands it's worthwhile to allow some private loss for the net public good

At the end of the day, I believe we'd all be better off with more highspeed rail in the US. There's is no fundamental lack of resources preventing us from doing it; the problem is a lack of competence and political organization.
In order to accomplish this, I’ve had great success by:

1. Looking at natural light first thing in the morning.

2. At 9-10pm, turning off all overhead lights and using a usb-charging lantern. I usually call family at this hour.

Because you can determine if they organize and test things in a repeatable and maintainable way or do they have trouble organizing structures and make questionable performance decisions. Are they clear on the hasA vs isA. Do they know what a mutex or static scope is? These are the things that will cause huge debugging nightmares. Syntax issues are no where close to as problematic so why use whiteboards vs an actual computer? In my experience of interviewing, questions about Security and Threading(performance / micro-opts) are good for separating the wheat from the chaff.
The problem with reality distortion fields is they last a short amount of time. Tesla’s is already losing power. You have to deliver regardless of the hype, and frankly, Tsla hasn’t.

Elon’s gamesmanship to maintain access to capital so he can lengthen the runaway is a tactic, but again, you have to deliver and this can only go on for so long.

I’ve said this a thousand times. The difference between SpaceX and Tesla is Gwen Shotwell. She is an excellent check on Elon Musk.

You need both. It’s the difference between a company with exceptional engineering talent that also runs well, and a company with exceptional engineering talent that doesn’t run well.

I’m really happy with my Model 3 and I continue to wish them success. But these kinds of moves are just pure uncontrolled Elon Musk as-the-engineer. He’s as bad at estimating as I am. I knew the state of machine learning when I decided to just get EAP and not FSD. I’m not celebrating their miss, I’m just saying all this was avoidable.
