I think it's the best car you can buy, electric or otherwise. That's why it baffles me that Musk feels the need to consistently lie about autonomy, because the car is already great without it, and the "intelligent cruise control" which the car does have is convenient and as good as anybody else's.

It's as if Apple made the best computers--which some people think they still do--but Tim Cook was tweeting every day about how the MacBook Pro can solve the halting problem. No it can't; of course it can't. Why would you continue to drag down your company's good name by lying like this?
> "Furin cleavage sites naturally occur in coronaviruses"

> https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187350612...

They exist in the human HCoV-HKU1, HCoV-OC43, MERS-CoV and appear to have evolved independently at least 6 times in betacoronaviruses.

Furthermore while this article claims that the furin cleavage site has not found in any sarbecoviruses, that is now outdated information:

> "Evidence for SARS-CoV-2 related coronaviruses circulating in bats and pangolins in Southeast Asia"

> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7873279/

Both RacCS203 (91.5% similar to SARS-CoV-2) and RmYN02 (93.3% similar to SARS-CoV-2) have furin cleavage sites. So we're up to 7-to-9 times now that evolution has evolved a furin cleavage site in betacoronaviruses, including 3 sarbecoviruses that may or may not be directly related.

The whole "furin cleavage site is an indication of human engineering" argument is just falsified at this point.
>libgtk doesn't work for all the use cases, e.g. vulkan, libdecoration doesn't look "native"

The solution there would be to fix gtk to support vulkan, and to fix libdecoration so it looks better.

>I consider them to be quite the jerks indeed.

Please stop, this is assuming bad faith and it's not helpful. The mutter bug tracker is an inappropriate place to give this unrelated feedback about this, when those issues you talked about are problems in libgtk and libdecoration. That's why the issue is closed. If you are just going to throw flames and don't want to discuss real technical solutions to the problem then I'm going to end the conversation.

1) sleeping/reading/etc whilst driving long-distance
2) getting home from the city after drinks
3) pick up kids from school/practice (this would be a major time saver)

So does taking a shit job and that being in your employment history.

From the employee perspective it is a lot easier to monitor the job market and actively seek out employment while not employed.

It’s true unemployment is not enough for most people to pay their bills, but that is also true of a lot of full time employment...employers can blame unemployment for being unable to fill positions but if your full time position can’t compete with unemployment benefits the answer isn’t to take away a minimal safety net so employers can force shit wages and no benefits on workers...at best the employer gets the employee they wanted below a living wage and it’s left society as a whole with a significant number of unemployed works with absolutely nothing and not even enough shit jobs with shit wages to employ them all.

I am in favor of more laziness. Spend 20% of time automating 80% of the work. Spend more time with your loved ones, pets, take longer walks.
IMO it was always a fundamental mistake to force the programmer to deal with the event loop by default. Run async in the background, but present as sync to the developer unless otherwise requested, would have been a much saner design. Unless you're developing a framework or library, odds are good your ratio of leveraging async versus contorting yourself to make it (from your script's perspective) go away will be 1:10 at best.

JS keeps coming up with new ways to make this less painful, but it's ridiculous every time because it's a fundamental problem with how Node presents itself. A comical sea of "await"s in front of damn near every call is the modern version of this, and is utterly typical in real JS codebases, but before it's been callback hell, or screwing around with promises all over your codebase when 90+% of the time you just wanted things to execute in order (from your perspective), and so on.

get()/set() is the same as a public property, until you change the implementation, while maintaining interface compatibility, which is the point.

In C# you'd have a point, they have parametric properties and readonly properties. So you'd favor just declaring public properties.

In my opinion this is the single strongest piece of evidence against the lab-leak hypothesis (and it also refutes the whole "furin-site uses non-canonical amino acids which shows evidence of human involvement" hypothesis as well).

One thing that I have not seen said is about the stability of unemployment.

I remember last year that there were a lot of people waiting a long time to get on unemployment due to the pandemic. Months went by before those checks came in.

Now, if you have the resources to work a job, you'll have to go off unemployment. But if that job fires you, you're stuck back in the possibly months long process to get unemployment. Sure, you could try to get another job, but that also has a time lag and other risks, and diapers don't buy themselves.

There is a lot of confusion here to unpack, but the central idea, that taxes pay for the government is the key confusion. Taxes are a means of wealth redistribution and method to curb inflation. Taxes don't fund the federal government - it can print money just fine.

Honestly it's really hard to believe you. That may have been what you were told but there's hundreds of well documented cases of sellers manipulating reviews where Amazon does not penalize the seller.

The logical explanation is Amazon has decided not to punish sellers who manipulate reviews if Amazon thinks it's a net gain for Amazon.

Re employment: The standard move for these companies was to basically auto-file a lawsuit if you were over a certain title threshold, and below they didn't do much. All the execs I knew would take a one year "vacation" and magically start work exactly 365 days later at the new company. It didn't affect rank and file except for this moonlighting + competition combo.

Re significance of 500 miles, state courts generally ruled that was a reasonable distance for non compete at the time, and so your company's lawyers would put together the most conservative contract that was borderline.

I'm very glad to have left that employment market, it was clear why startups never seemed to start in RTP unless they came out of Universities, specifically because of these huge liabilities for any investor.

I see what he's saying, though I have different philosophy of what the world needs.

If I'm attempting to repeat back his sensibility: It's an aspiration for people to be self-responsible. Look after self, then others. We're individuals first, and must look after ourselves, and then the collectivist-minded activities come after looking after the self.

This self=>others axis is the basis of Maslow's hierarchy. But it's the inverse of many cultures' (including the blackfoot tribes from which Maslow borrowed the model, which put community at the bottom of the pyramid of needs, oddly enough)

I respect his view (it's rather effective in some contexts, esp environments of scarcity), but I'd rather embrace the collectivist and interdependent aspects of humanity as the foundational principle.

My general impression is that both of these worldviews could save us in different contexts. Maybe the collectivist would save us from climate change, and individualist would save us in some armed conflict. I feel we need to keep both, and keep them balanced, and respecting one another. It's like keeping a seed vault -- different wisdoms for later, and part of a diversity of thought we should probably preserve for unknowable future challenges.

Musk's engineers know this but for whatever reason he can't or won't understand it.

> Money printing is a tax on everyone.

Its a “tax” (a reduction in real value held) on holders of dollar denominated assets, transferring value to holders of dollar-denominated liability.

> More so on the poor, who have fewer assets that inflate along with the money printing.

The poor tend to have most of their gross assets in tangible non-financial assets (like a car and other durable goods), which do tend to inflate with general inflation (they may depreciate independent of inflation.)

In terms of dollar denominated items, the poor tend to be net debtors, and inflation reduces the real value of that debt.

The first question is "through static analysis, can you guarantee that the structs do not leave the scope?"

This comment breaks the site guidelines—more than one of them actually. Can you please review them? https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

The generalization you're making is far from true, and with most of the comments you're talking about it's pretty easy to see why they'd get downvoted.

Also - the GP comment was about media and censorship, not China, so if downvoters were reacting to the topic of the comment or to the point it was making, it more likely had to do with that. Downvotes on comments making controversial points about divisive topics are to be expected anyhow.
Unfortunately, I don't think those would help, and they might hurt.

Your first suggestion doesn't address paid reviews. Usually the scheme is "buy it, and we will reimburse you with a little extra on top after you leave a review."

Your second suggestion would probably bias towards fake reviewers. It's pretty rare for someone to get paid just for one review.

One of the hard things to realize is that paid reviews are written by real people. Most of them probably know they are doing something shady, but not all - some think this is a legitimate marketing interaction. Many of them also leave real reviews for stuff - including negative reviews. It's generally not actually bots writing reviews.
