My landlord here in a wealthy area of Mexico is supposedly extremely well-off (and the main house looks somewhat mansion-like from the street), yet the back part of the house that you can't see from the street is halfway finished. Hopefully he is going to wait until my lease is up before he really picks up the construction again. I think that's what he said.

Taxes might have something to do with it. But also Mexico is so poor, I think there are just a lot of cases where people just don't have the money to finish a project right away or even tear down an old building. So it's just almost normal to see derelict of half-finished buildings in certain areas. My theory is that it therefore becomes sort of customary and acceptable to leave things like that and so it is more common. Even in cases where people could afford to finish more quickly.

Million/billion is more familiar to non-Indians, but I don't understand how that system's more scientific.

The point is Elon knows exactly whether estimates are achievable or not, but does it anyways.

There is a reason why legally Autopilot/FSD is a driver-assist system, but for marketing purposes robotaxis are just around the corner.

There is a fine line between 'overly optimistic' and misleading, and more often than not, Elon crosses the line.

Without effective retail finance, which is not possible without other things in place first, which are not possible without a baseline of functioning governance, there really is no 'organized' solution that's going to work.

You can't have well run banks without commercial law, you can't have commercial law without great schools, law schools, good legislators, a judiciary, acting in good faith and 'not corrupt'.

Without a systematic, organized solution, it might be worth teaching people skills and abilities that serve to create value without the overhead - for example, carpentry, masonry etc..

My grandfather and family built their own home, their own cottage, installed all of the plumbing themselves and this is in a 'modern nation' less than 100 years ago, and it was not uncommon.

However - they were highly skilled craftspeople, with knowledge and abilities passed down from generation to generation, information that made it 'across the Atlantic' from Europe into the new world without state organs, schools etc. to do so.

We have a hard time today grasping that, we kind of expect 'the government' to make the right trade schools, colleges and universities available for 'where all the knowledge is' but it was never really that way.

Without extra currency floating around to facilitate loans etc, then it's the labour of communities i.e. family, friends children. Amish and Mennonite communities are strong examples of this kind of behaviour, not that they are necessarily the perfect example, but you can see it in action.

There's so much focus on 'top down governance' approaches in these areas because it's the issue that our own governments can speak to in terms of money, grants, investment, and actors on the other side can sign agreements talk about plans etc..

But in reality it's probably worth sometimes looking at such systems as not very governed at all, and developing things that work very well on the local level.

>The fact that the specification was wrong might actually be a pretty good counter argument

The flawed specification was done in-house by Boeing employees. That design wasn't outsourced.

>your position that outsourcing doesn’t matter.

That is not my position. You're misrepresenting my argument even though I've stated it clearly : The author's claim that outsourcing leads to less innovation is incomplete and flawed.

Outsourcing does matter and can ruin a company. But it can also enable innovation and the author doesn't cover that scenario. That's my specific criticism of his article.

>I’m also very sure Boeing does not do more building than NVIDIA. These companies maintain absolute control over design, processes, materials and component sourcing, because it’s critical to their product, whereas Boeing has also outsourced all of that.

You've got that backwards. NVIDIA doesn't focus on materials science of chip fabrication. They let TSMC worry about that. NVIDIA employees focus more on engineering the instruction set, the microarchitecture, the firmware, etc. (Somewhat analogous to ARM chip design.) There have been presentations where the CEOs of both NVIDIA and TSMC are on stage together talking about their different core competencies.

>, whereas Boeing has also outsourced all of that.

Why do you believe that? Take a look at the Boeing open jobs list showing ~478 engineering positions: https://jobs.boeing.com/category/engineering-jobs/185-18469/...

Why does Boeing hire all these engineering positions if they've outsourced everything?

Let's try to level set the discussion. NVIDIA outsources the chip manufacturing to TSMC and then the whole card is outsourced to Foxconn. NVIDIA did not spend billions to build or acquire any factories. See the "NVIDIA does not manufacture anything directly, instead designs are sent to suppliers specializing in the technologies needed to create these devices, and the
products are then tested for quality control." excerpt from [1]

Boeing spent billions in building physical factories in Washington, North Carolina, etc. They do final assembly, stress testing of wing loads, systems integration, flight envelope testing, FAA certification, etc. Boeing outsources a lot of components but they also do a lot of in-house work.

And from all this, we still conclude NVIDIA does more actual building than Boeing?

>Do you think the same kind of mistakes would have been made of the people writing the specifications actually did some of the software work?

There will always be a specialization of skills so expecting non-programmers such as managers to code the software is unrealistic. And yes, Tesla conceivably had a more "closed loop" of in-house software programming instead of outsourcing and they did make the same kind of mistake analogous to MCAS with a self-driving car.

> Separating the password from the email field with an extra mouse click sucks if you are using a password manager.

If I understand correctly, the reason behind this pattern is SSO.

Most websites are gaining SSO capabilities. Before asking for your email/user, they don't really now if you're gonna login using password, or you should be redirected to an IdentityProvider.

I'd be happy to know if there are better patterns here but I think password managers should get a bit smarter and work with this trend.

> The other thing for which OO works much better than plain data is GUIs - and I think it is not a coincidence that OO popularity exploded together with the the coming-of-age of GUIs.

Yeah, and I think the reason has nothing to do with objects per se. I've recently been coming to conclusion that the one thing that makes OOP last is that it's neatly packaging an important feature that other programming paradigms struggle with or ignore: late binding (aka. dynamic linking).

Is it better to write a class Foo with a method Bar(stuffs), or a struct Foo and a function Bar(Foo&, stuffs)? I don't care. They're literally the same thing.

But say I want to change the system so that, in some cases, it calls Baz instead of Bar - but I don't want to rip the system apart and change every call site. With OOP, I just make a class Quux inheriting from Foo, have it override Bar(stuffs) to do Baz code, and shove a Quux object into the system. Done. Dynamic linking ensure that my new implementation gets called for Quux objects.

Meanwhile, in most programming languages, you can't pull that same trick with a struct. Not without having to manually reimplement dynamic dispatch - at which point you may as well use an OOP language.

Dynamic dispatch is a super useful thing to have. You can minimize its use - and probably should, for performance reasons - but when your language doesn't support it as a built-in feature, these few cases in which you need it get very painful to write.

Possible but doubtful. Check market price history - the overheads of dealing with crypto are historically tiny compared to the profits of being forced to hold any.
Yes. I too find that Amazon tries to hide (maybe even obscure) information of who the third party seller is.

So is amazon a marketplace or a seller. Hard to decide. I think courts should also give importance to how amazon markets itself.

EBay, always, marketed itself as a marketplace. There was never a confusion about whether it's a "store" or a "marketplace".

From the Amazon banners/ads/and other marketing material, I always get the sense that Amazon tries to market itself as a "store" and not as a "marketplace".

With that and the _hiding/obscuring_ of third party seller information on the amazon website, I think courts should treat Amazon as a seller/store more than a marketplace.

That’s certainly enough, if you can call a constructor, you don’t have to think about how it works and that the classes are related.

The part about “rejigging” and simple truncation happens before the constructor call when you cast ref-to-Child to ref-to-Parent.

I agree that this is a dark pattern, but I also empathise with whoever first implemented this. Negative reviews are often just "this doesn't work", no further information.

Each year there are almost 10x as many Indians migrating to Canada as there are Americans:

https://www.immigration.ca/where-will-canadas-401000-immigra...

Despite being a country of European heritage, there is no European country in the top 10 for migration into Canada. Most of the migration source countries are places where labour is cheap and working conditions are poor. If your objective is to increase population, increase 'diversity', and depress labour conditions, then Canada's immigration settings are suitable.
Clodl: Turn dynamically linked ELF binaries into self-contained closures
Even a few weeks would likely be at least some disincentive; and anything less than that - like fines - runs the risk of being "costs of doing business" (e.g. most of the EU's laughably low fines, and US fines are very unpredictable, though at least somewhat higher).

If it's not going to be imprisonment, then the fines need to be much quicker, and much higher; enough to threaten a corparation's viability. For some perspective the largest fine/court settlement in the past few years is VW US's, which was 37 billion, and vs. a tech firm the 2012 FTC settlement with facebook at 5 billion. EU's largest antitrust fine ever (vs. google in 2017) was just 2.4 billion. Those kind of costs are so low that they're unlikely to be preemptively discouraging, especially given how rare they are; alphabet's revenue in 2020 was 180 billion, and it's market cap is a little less than 10 times that.

Of course absurd fines that are rarely imposed are more like a reverse lottery than anything else; not exactly ideal either, really.

Bitcoin is currently enabling a massive epidemic of ransomware, which is not only crippling businesses but also critically important societal services.

At this point, it is neither ethical nor moral to use bitcoin, or do anything that helps it thrive.

Bitcoin is a crime against humanity, and must be destroyed as soon as possible.

I think people should not think that much in terms of supply-demand for speculative phenomena. At least not in a macroeconomic sense.

The value of a coin is determined by the expectation of selling it in the future at a higher price, nothing else.

These expectations are affected by the supply level only via auction dynamics: lots of newly mined coins in a short timeframe tend to result in big sell orders and downward pressure on the price.

That's an effective but also very limited way to impact the price.
For instance the increase in supply of a non-speculative asset reduces its marginal utility: the more oil available the less useful it becomes.

But there's no theoretical limit to the price of a coin and therefore no limit to the return one can expect!

As it's all about auction dynamics, a highly inflationary speculative asset with well-timed and strategic increase in supply could very well defy any macro supply-demand logic.

If you are a foreigner living in Denmark, it is really hard to get mortgage loans due to unexplainable risks.

You are somewhat right so I think it needs to be clarified to non Denmark living people that it has nothing to do with banks and all about Danish government regulation. They have specific laws that look differently on foreigners depending if they are EU, non EU, living for 5 years in Denmark, living less than 5 years. I think what OP might refer to is that he comes from a specific non-EU country that Danish system doesn't look kindly on. (check the recent changes in the way citizenship is granted to read more about it)

If you are EU and if you have stayed more than 5 years in Denmark you should have no trouble getting mortgage. Basically also if you are non-EU if you have been in Denmark continuously and hold permanent residence.

If you are EU citizen you can get a house and mortgage immediately if you have 5% (or better 20%) but in case you leave Denmark you won't be able to rent it. (as I remember correctly).

Current mortgage rates for 20 years are around 1% if you deposit 20% of house value. Most of the time if you are looking to buy something that hasn't skyrocketed in value, you will be paying the same (with taxes) as you would the rent equivalent. (aka if you can, go for mortgage)
Miele is a private company. Also, they have a large depth of manufacturing - they "even" make their own electric motors and most everything in Germany, too https://www.miele.de/haushalt/produktionsstaetten-2244.htm

Their washing machines and vacuum cleaners tend to last 30+ years in the experience of my parents, and my vacuum cleaner is over 15 years old at this point as well. Still more silent than most new ones, with great suction, and ergonomic.

That said... the thing about Eco mode is quite horrible indeed. There should be a self-cleaning program that runs as often as necessary and a corresponding reminder on the display.

This is not for you since you mention prices in Euros... I am always surprised when I read about bad experience with their products in the US. Especially the service seems to be some overpriced BS. Miele service is what regular electricians do in Germany.

UX research also shows that one of the most important things is consistency. Internal consistency as well as consistency with other websites the user is familiar with.

99% of sites don't have so many features and sections that they'd need to omit some of them from the landing page. But for some reason they think replacing UI elements with screen-filling fancy animations and a lot of empty space inbetween is somehow a good thing. I never saw any upside in this.

I have a short attention span and am easily distracted, and modern UI trends are catastrophic from my perspective. I don't care about a fancy "hero area", just give me a menu bar that stays in the same place and gets me anywhere I need.
