When Tesla announced the initial move they received a huge amount of push back for the environmental concerns. And it didn’t look good for an EV company of all things.

There is a trend I’ve seen of a company making a decison, everyone hating on them for it, then they reverse the decision, and they are still criticised.

If a company turns around and reverses a decision citing the very reasons they were criticised for making it, shouldn’t we applaud them for listening?

I mean, isn’t this exactly the behaviour we want to encourage?
The Benefits of No-Code Test Automation in Ecommerce
How about mass transit, bicycles, running, walking. Lets stop using airplanes and use blimps instead. Maybe there are benefits to using energy? Energy usage is how society and technology advances.

I wonder if someday we get even more absurd. Musk wagers company money on the Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, announces this on Twitter, then hedges his bet when Vegas moved the line after a bunch of pro chiefs action. I mean, it’s not like there aren’t hedge funds that do sports gambling already.

The ICAO airport code as used for navigation. They're different from the IATA 3 letter codes that most passengers know. US airports start with K, European with E (e.g. EF for Europe-France).

Often for large airports the code is very similar to the IATA code for passengers, e.g. KJFK for JFK and KSFO for San Francisco. But not always, as in EGLL for London Heathrow which is LHR in passenger codes.

Honestly, most Node/Express tutorials are 1:1 copies(try googling sometimes). Not Node/Express specific though, majority tutorials are material to signal author's knowledge towards potential gigs/jobs, not to share knowledge. Which is why a hello-world in Reactjs tutorial needs to setup Redux, or a java tutorial brings in SpringBoot etc..

[Disclaimer: my own experience, ymmv.]
First, I assume when you write "normal workers" that you mean non-executives and non-passive income earners. (Executives can get a lot of equity or dividends that accrue taxes at lower rates; passive income earners use asset depreciation to lessen tax burden.)

The top 1% in the US is ~400K USD.

Real question for OP (and others): What do you think is a reasonable effective income tax rate? (Please do not confuse effective and nominal tax rates!) In my view: "All in" should be about 50-55%. When I say "all in" I mean absolutely everything -- federal, state, local, national pension, national health (if applicable), yada yada yada. That would mean top 1% still have net income (after taxes) of more than 200K USD.

If you look at highly developed economies, it seems hard to provide a healthy social safety net without 50% effective income tax rate on top 1%.

In Hongkong, the top effective tax rate is about 15%. The social safety net is appalling. The number of poor, working, elderly people (collecting cardboard in the street to sell by the kilo to recyclers) is heartbreaking. You would not use the public health system, nor the public school system; nor depend upon the national pension, nor unemployment benefits. One bright spot: The public housing system has served well the working class and below. (I joke that 15% only gets you a good metro system and airport.) Hongkong feels like a semi-feudalistic society.
When I think of a "free game", I think of shareware. In what era did "free game" mean really free?
This is very very cool project for entire planet!
I'm not suggesting anything here, but it doesn't seem outrageous to think that after the SNL appearance and all the dogecoin references that Tesla/Musk may have bought substantial amounts prior to that before the obvious shilling on live television.

If that's the case, he would not have expected it to crash.

i.e. This may be desperation to fix the quarterly results after the plan backfired.
& I'd be surprised to know that Musk didn't know the environmental impact of bitcoin before he pushed bitcoin to the sky?
Why is this guy not in jail? This is blatantly manipulating cryptos almost every other week.
There's a big difference. Even if people using EVs now effectively burn coal to do it, they replaced an ICE and can migrate to greener sources over time. On the other hand, crypto mining exists purely on top of existing energy usage. These are not really comparable situations.
It was not marketing manipulation until now?

That's an interesting way to put it. Python does have a form of prototypical inheritance (given how objects end up being `__dict__`s with behaviour defined through `__class__`, though not only that!).

Python descriptors are extremely flexible though, and I _guess_ you could emulate almost all of it through Javascript proxies, but I can't imagine the performance of that being great. Hash tables would also not be re-usable between JS and Python (since Python hash tables allow many more varieties of objects), and Python has a distinction between attributes and keyed access (which JS lacks).

Python exposes much more of the global environment and internals than JS does, and doesn't have some of the requirements JS has put on itself for security reasons. I'm not super sure you could emulate Python blocking style with a JS transformation statically. Blocking Python for something that is only available in a non-blocking JS environment would require effectively wrapping every Python operation (since almost every Python operation can have arbitrary side-effects).

I think there are people who write sort of syntax-y transpilers, but that's not really going to lead you down to nice code re-use.

As an occasional speculator in this stuff I've gone zero Bitcoin, quite a bit of Ethereum as I figure the energy and environmental cost of Bitcoin is too much while Ethereum is going proof of stake. I think it's probably the way things will go. I'm guessing Ethereum may take over as the largest cryptocurrency by market cap.
It's absolutely logical when your primary criterion is M' > M.
> Dogecoin has exactly the same energy spending incentives as Bitcoin.

While the incentives are the same, Dogecoin has roughly 7.4x lower energy requirements than Bitcoin currently, so accepting Dogecoin instead of Bitcoin is a tad less offensive.
Incorporate in a low/zero-tax jurisdiction.

Form a second corporation that resells your product to your US customers at an insignificant markup. It pays tax only on said insignificant markup.

The company it buys from has no US operations or dealings of any kind, therefore does not even file US returns.

A lot of people are fond of security indeed! And I can imagine many even excited about this new technology. Maybe they just don't buy into this campaign.

"-In python- it completely makes"

It is a pitfall. It's not about what python developers think about it. It is about what people from other languages experience when they learn the language.

(Though it's not my main point, I want to add as (also) a python developer, that I think this is a terrible design choice, which could easily be avoided. In this case python doesn't "threat everything as object" it treats small int literals differently than bigger int literals)
Is this new, or was it already available for a while?
Every time I imagine what it must be like to watch countless highly disturbing photos and videos, with the only goal being to prevent the public from seeing what you’ve seen (and not even being able to privately vent about it), I shudder. Timelines with your friends’ baby photos come at a cost.

I wonder whether content moderation jobs at Facebook et al. include sufficiently stringent pre-screening of candidates for mental fitness.
SDL gives you an API for 2D rendering, mostly limited to drawing boxes, lines, and bitmaps. OpenGL lets you program the graphics card for any use case, most commonly 3D graphics with room to add complex effects and post-processing. The SDL API is just nowhere near flexible enough for what I want to achieve.

Plus, Vulkan is not really "faster" than OpenGL. It just gives you a different API for programming the same graphics hardware, which in the hands of the right person can be used for writing code which is "faster".
> Meanwhile they started accepting Dogecoin at SpaceX

What does that mean ? That SpaceX sells LEO trips in dogecoin ? Or that the coffee machine takes dogecoin ?
I knew a woman who worked with soldiers suffering post-traumatic stress, who was hired by Facebook to counsel some of these people. On the one hand a good sign they’re at least trying to look after them, but still a pretty grim indictment of the work.
What is the use? You can’t recover the data from the hash, and the hash doesn’t prove the data is truthful.
No, because this makes it seem like they are not making the right decisions because they are right, but only because doing the wrong thing made them unpopular. It makes you wonder what other wrong things they do that doesn't elicit enough of a popular response to make them reconsider.

It's not like the environmental impact of Bitcoin was a subtle or obscure issue when they first made the decision. They should have known better, and it remains worrying that they did not.
Yes, that's my question, too. I remember when Sketch was all the rage, Apple provided photoshop templates only ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sure, but none of it makes any sense. I have to imagine the decision to buy Bitcoin and accept it as payment was vetted by a lot of people internally, not just Musk himself. And the environmental impacts from mining are well known. Musk isn’t stupid either - he must’ve known this would be an issue for Tesla’s image.
The problem is that you can't really take a company at face value if they reverse course after having already profited from their "lapse in judgement". The parent post lined out potential motivations behind all this that IMO aren't really that outlandish. It's speculation, but it's not some outlandish crackpot theory
Why it’s so hard to work with a creative genius
I'm not sure that being the natural choice for another pump n dump scheme is a good thing.
This is out-of-context quoting. The passage in question is actually about a woman he met and how she was not these things. The very next sentence says:

"British Trader, on the other hand, was the sort of woman who would end up a useful ally in that postapocalypse, doing whatever work—be it carpentry, animal husbandry, or a shotgun blast to someone’s back— required doing"

In other words he is comparing personalities and attitudes, not making generalisations about literally all women. But the subset of women he is generalising about are exactly the sort who are now trying to make him unemployable by quoting him out of context (i.e. being "full of shit") and demanding that Apple shield them (i.e. "cosset") by getting rid of a guy who finds other kinds of women more attractive. They also appear to be objecting to a passage that states something about the murder rate and naming of high schools in a particular area, which is presumably factual? So, they're kind of proving his point for him.
It's better than staying on a wrong course, but it would be even better if they had thought it through before announcing the plan. It's not as though the environmental impacts of bitcoin were a well kept secret that Tesla couldn't have known about.
If anything, it's good that its public now that its an energy problem. For the average person dealing with bitcoin this wasn't known (at least in my circles). Great way to get everyone's attention.
KAPA is the code for Centennial Airport in Denver. It's likely many US pilots would either know what that is or be trivially able to look it up, non-pilots not so much.

What's the definition of a breakthrough here?
Exactly, proof of work is even more for rich because it's all about availability to processors and cheap energy - guess who has that? super rich and corrupt.

Proof of Stake is validation by faith in the network which is infinitely more reliable and fair. In fact it's much more alligned with bitcoins philosophy of positive-greed than proof of work is in the current day. Heads of PoS need the network healthy for their assets to be healthy - heads of PoW can rotate shitcoins every month since they mine all the same.

I was thinking the same. Maybe it's because Figma imports Sketch files quite well.

I've done it before with the Apple Sketch files, did not have any issue.
> There is a trend I’ve seen of a company making a decison, everyone hating on them for it, then they reverse the decision, and they are still criticised.

World is a complex place and there are groups who have different opinions on this. Bitcoiners were cheering when Tesla started shilling BTC, now they are booing. Environmentalists are now tipping Tesla but not that much because they still remain sceptical.
I wonder if electric ships could be a reasonable option? I don't have enough of the relevant numbers to do the math on whether a modern cargo container ship with some fraction of its mass dedicated to (perhaps) lithium iron phosphate batteries at about 150 watt hours per kilogram would be able to go any reasonable distance.

If we assume for the sake of argument that it's not enough for most reasonable-length routes, maybe if there was charging infrastructure at regular intervals that would help? I'm imagining for example a ship crossing the Pacific from the U.S. to China, but stopping in at Hawaii, the Marshall islands, and the Phillipines to charge. Maybe not even in a port; maybe there'd be power lines that run out to buoys that have the maritime equivalent of a DC fast-charger.

Also, one could imagine overhead lines being installed over the Panama and Suez canals. Ships could reach up with pantographs and charge their batteries as the traverse the canal.

The extreme case would be to have power lines that stretch from one continent to another, and ships cross whole oceans without ever unplugging. I'm not sure how that would work, exactly: floating cables? Cables that run along the sea floor, but the ships run an extension cord that drapes down to meet it? Lots of mechanical problems that would have to be solved.

Even with charging infrastructure only available in some places, if ships were configured with diesel engines that can take over when the batteries are dead, running off of batteries at least part of the time could reduce the fuel consumption by quite a lot.

I was starting to write a reply about how much I agree with you, but then I came to the second half of your post.

> And it’s a grave disrespect against them to say that nobody actually cares about anything.

I think you might have completely misread my intent. For starters, if you're a HMH watcher, I invite you to tell Casey how much society cares about software quality, you're probably going to trigger a well-deserved rant.

When I say as a society we now have less low-level tools developers per capita, that's not supposed to be an insult to you personally, nor is it necessarily a lamentation on the state of affairs.

> If you really are worried about this, don’t just complain and cry about it, be the change you want to see in the world.

I have no idea where this criticism connects with what I wrote or meant. I did not mean to "complain and cry". My GP post was set against the backdrop of the article, and my disagreement was specifically with the article.

It's working extremely well compared to the U.S. The death rate in S. Korea is 37/1,000,000, one of the lowest in the world. In the U.S. it's 1,797/1,000,000. That's 48x better than the U.S. I'd say whatever they're doing is working even if it isn't absolutely perfect.

>So you would need a scenario where you get a token (let‘s say valid for an hour) and you use it on a computer that you trust and then someone can copy the token but afterwards you somehow trust the device again.

Wrong. You need to be able to invalidate tokens to other devices. (Lost device / revoked access use-case)

Polkadot/Kusama are amazing projects, but not designed to be used primarily as p2p currencies. As much as I have some issues / doubts with Cardano, I still think it's the most viable PoS cryptocurrency for mass adoption right now. ETH2 maybe also, whenever the transition actually happens.
Ask HN: Why are there so many stages during the hiring process nowadays?
I'm currently in two hiring processes, and also had submitted my application to another two.

Last time I interviewed was 6 years ago, and back then, you had at max two interviews: screening and technical.

Now, one of the hiring processes I'm in has 5 meetings, in which actually one of them has 3 embebbed meetings. The other has 6 meetings. The other two I have applied but I haven't received any response are 5 and 7...

So, what's really the point of these long hiring processes? Screen, tech, take home, another tech, culture, manager, CTO, offer....
Honestly, I think it is high time people uploading content to the web were subjected to standard laws, as any other citizen trying to share something on the public square:

You are pasting graphic content on the square: try it and see how soon the police come after you and you have to at least answer before a judge.

You are uploading graphic content to the web? We call the police, nice and simple. And let the judiciary deal with it.

Otherwise what you have is this: people with absolutely no training, with no real support and with bad salaries doing something they should not: policing.
Level 29: The BBS
That is anarcho-capitalism to you. Even though I'm a libertarian leaning, I still think we should put a tax from CO2 emissions on crypto transactions. Something in range of 300$ per tonne of CO2. So with bitcoin emissions at 0.5T per transaction, it would be somewhere around 150$ per transaction. And to cash in on bitcoin you should be required to document the whole history of bitcoin you own.
Is that not market manipulation?
