It's worth noting that 'Smart Contracts' are more 'Financial Instruments as code' rather than 'Ricardian Contracts' which are what most people think when they see 'smart' and 'contract' together.

I had a comment on the last time this came up where 'A computer language for law' was a bad idea unqualified, but this page actually seems to address most of the points I raised in that comment.

The thrust of the comment is 'Law is not something that will be executable and that we just automate' but more 'Law is something with an underlying structure that we can use engineering tools to write, validate and understand.' That is to say, the tools are there to help the humans with doing law stuff, not doing it for them.

This page is pretty wooly and high level, but it does seem to be going more down that avenue, which is laudable. It does mention smart contracts and Ethereum which I think might be distracting in the early days, but we'll see.

2.5mm is already pretty common in the audio industry, so the size of the connector shouldn't be an issue.
The article starts out with bullet points, the third bullet point is this:

"Burry previously mentioned in a tweet, that Tesla’s reliance on regulatory credits to generate profits is also an impediment to the company’s long-term prospects"

When the Tesla stock price is tied ostensibly to some ephemeral aspect of Elon Musk, who gets his lulz from wreaking havoc on cryptocoin markets, does that kind of analysis really matter? I guess it doesn't until maybe, possibly, eventually it does?
Infamously Musk himself tweeted 'Tesla stock price too high imo' at around (can't get accurate atm) $150; it's currently at $573.

(Not that anything Musk tweets should be taken as anything other than.. an indication that one or all of TSLA, Bitcoin, or Dogecoin is about to move rapidly in one or both directions..!)

You are absolutely right.

However the proposed plane has 3 wings, which, naively, would have the same drag as a wing 3 times longer.

Non-naively, it goes beyond my knowledge of aerodynamics, but it is worth noting that multi-wing designs were very popular pre-WW2 but they are almost never seen today, which suggests a design compromise made obsolete by modern technologies.
Public transit is the only option.

I would love to see a general audit of night shift work and ongoing plans to keep it at an absolute minimum, but that's probably too utopian a project to see in this country any time soon :/.
BT 5.0 in theory could probably stream lossless so it is a bit weird they didn't consider it. Maybe they did and it wasn't really stable enough longer distances.

But not being able to be tethered without using a digital to analog to digital adapter is so silly. Come on apple.
Your point about the lab is great, it's just very hard to dismiss the idea that a lab error was at fault.

But i too think it all too likely that we won't be any wiser about the origins.

Though it would be great if a timeline could be established, i don't remember seeing a good explanation on Covid in Italy being discovered in 2019.

https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-italy-tim...
I posted similar. And the only thing I'd caution is don't do the breathing exercise while driving or near water. There's a rare potential to faint if you do it wrong.

And nobody is suggesting to replace existing approaches for ADHD with breathing exercises. It's just another tool to consider and try for focus or physical exertion.

The funny thing is there's lots of credible science with Wim Hof if you care to Google. But what's the point when it's so accessible, harmless and easy to just validate a claim for yourself?
It deprives you of future work from the developer. Costs are real even if they're not marginal costs.
I know this sounds odd, but at this point I don't think it matters, as far as what we need to do next, and more pressure on this point may just make that harder.

1) Regardless of whether or not this virus came from a lab, could such a thing plausibly happen in the future? Unquestionably yes.

2) Do we have international bodies to do inspection of the safety standards of any lab doing this kind of work? Ones that have the authority to require changes, or even shut down a lab, if those safety standards are not met? Unquestionably no, we have no such international body.

3) Could we make one? Yes, if China and Russia and the USA all agree to make one, it could be made binding on the rest of the world.

So, let's get on with that. I fear that the discussion of the origin of covid-19, while it has certainly been useful in showing what the potential future problems are, may get in the way of setting up something to prevent it happening (again?) in the future.
lockdowns in responses to pandemics have been around since medieval times. The quarantine is probably the oldest social measure against disease (in fact the word derives from the Italian phrase for '40 days' because that's how long Venician ships needed to stay isolated at ports). You think the fact that people in different places came up with the idea of "people spread diseases, so people need to stay in their homes" at the same time is some sort of 21st century academic influence campaign?
Not mentioned here, and more importantly in my opinion, are Burry's bets on US Treasury bonds crashing.
The 'X' was meant to be "various letter extensions on the 5800 series", such as 5800U, 5800H, 5800HS. I probably should have used different terminology from the model number, as there are other Zen 3 mobile processors like the 5900HX, 5980HS and 5980HX that if anything make the point stronger.
>The question isn't whether the data exists. It does. The question is, why isn't it being displayed?

I just took a look at the Google Maps for Midtown Manhattan and they appear to be from around August 2019. Google surely has newer satellite images available for NYC. What is the reason they aren't updating them?

I think current events are making everyone a little too paranoid here. The images were required by law to be of lower resolution until mid-2020. The law changed and Google hasn't gotten around to updating the images yet because there is always a lag in imagery being updated. No real conspiracy theory needed.
> The "Russia is invading our country" narrative is only held by some.

Mainly those that believe in concepts such as 'borders' and 'sovereignty'

You might personally feel that those residents welcomed foreign troops with open arms, but it's not a narrative that Russian forces crossed Ukraine's border to annex territory that didn't belong to it.
> Even the SPEAKERS inside of the Model 3 and Y are designed by Tesla

In this particular case, is this really a good thing? Porsche's high end option for example is getting the speakers, amplifiers, tuned filters etc. from Burmester. Since Burmester specializes on this kind of thing, and the sound system (not the head unit and interface) are pretty much entirely distinct from the rest of the car, except that it has to be tuned to the environment it will exist in, that intuitively feels better conducive to focus areas and quality all around.
This makes no sense whatsoever, regardless of what side you are allowed with. Satellite imagery is inferior to simple cameras at documenting what's happening in Gaza, war crimes or not.

You are not improving the reputation of Palestinian concerns with your post, so you if you want to help them, rethink your approach.
There was a large discussion about that article:

The deterrent effect of punishment has been proven many times to be no where near as strong as law abiding people believe it to be. Now you can say "well you just need harsher punishment" but many systems has disproven this as well.

Jail should be reserved for people who a direct physical threat to other peoples bodies or properties. Continued incarceration should be viewed from that lens as well.

Victim Compensation should be a higher priority instead of punishment, instead we put almost no priority to Victim Compensation instead viewing the crime as a "crime against society" and the person "pays a debt to society" that is the wrong position.

Sounds like a two pronged question. Will EVs dominate auto sales? And will Tesla dominate the EV market.
Lab leak does not necessarily imply the virus was engineered. Indeed there is reasonable evidence for the former and little, but not none, for the later.
There was an article posted to HN recently that went into detail on the evidence contained within the virus itself, that it has features not consistent with natural processes. However, it wasn't secretly created, it was created (in part) with grants from the US, which are public.

https://thebulletin.org/2021/05/the-origin-of-covid-did-peop...
Yes I've been using goatcounter and it's very simple and to the point. Recommende.
I would say there are three main hurdles:

* Convincing the public to spend 50-70K on a car

* Convincing the public to buy an EV

* Convincing the public that Tesla can be trusted for long term repair costs/reliability

Right now Tesla is squarely in the luxury vehicle market, competing against Lexus/BMW/Mercedes, rather than against Mazda/Honda/Kia, and it's a new automaker, so we don't have good long term reliability or serviceability data, nor do we have good info on how long the batteries will last, or what costs someone buying a 10 year old model Y will face.

These questions will resolve themselves with time, but whether they will all resolve in Tesla's favor is another matter.
Men between a certain age is a pretty none specific target audience.
Is there any evidence for that assertion?

I am also interested in seeing a tabular summary, but it seems to be quite a big task to collect all or most candidates. The published paper alone lists quite a few references, each one possibly offering an alternative electrode composition.
Rough numbers, back of envelope calculation:
500 trillion square meters on earth * 50 pixels per square meter * 3 byte pixel depth = 75 petabytes uncompressed. Assume 90% image compression and remove the 71% of earth that is oceans and you're down to a little over 2PB.
This answers the Fermi paradox.

I don't really relate to the author's motivation. Who is "the kind of person who carries a notebook"? Surely it's someone who has something to write down, it's an odd perspective wanting to force yourself to take notes.

I took diligent paper notes for the first three years of my PhD. Lab notes, research ideas, mad science, meeting notes, presentation drafts, diagrams, graphs, specifications, diary entries, poems, songs, tirades, rants and drawings...

In the end it was only marginally useful, mostly to recall what was said in meetings. It's too much data, hard to search and 99% of it ends up useless. Really their main use was to work through problems and ideas as I was writing them, as well as to look back at past me and frown at how stupid I was.

Now I've switched to an e-ink solution (Remarkable) because I've got dozens of paper notebooks that I don't know what to do with and the waste of paper gave me a mental block over time that made me reticent to write down more stuff.

I do agree with him that notebooks should be append only, anything else is a lost battle which will force you to censor yourself to keep things clean. Unless you use binders, then you have a better control of the paper stack.
No chance with that comparison. Per unit economics are different, marginal utility is different. Total cost of ownership is different. Pandemic has wreaked havoc for automakers and... for WFH Tesla owners made the 1k monthly car payment look unnecessary while most iPhone users upgraded phones.
No, but when the second hypothesis is the one that CCP has banned any investigation and news of, is not cooperating on the investigation and when there had been claims about the WIV safety and the WIV has openly stated that they were researching bat-borne SARS-like coronaviruses, then the lack of evidence for any other cause makes this one seem all the more likely. That's a lot of coincidences.

If CCP are covering it up, then of course there will be a lack of direct evidence. The above doesn't prove it conclusively, but it does make it rather suspicious. Why would CCP be hampering the investigations if they have nothing to hide? It was over a year before they let the WHO have a look. Plenty of time to get rid of any actual evidence.
The US needs an ally in the Middle East that is more reliable than any of the Arab nations are. Better than being even more beholden to Saudi Arabia.

US interests also benefit quite a lot from Israeli industry, from Intel to Cellebrite
Hi! I've used your library in various projects and am very grateful for it!

I figured it'd be worth a shot to ask you this here, since I just caught you: have you considered adding some support for "rehooking"/"restarting" the library, so that callees can restart your library whenever they detect that their environment has changed (e.g. input devices have been (dis)connected, etc)?

I've contributed with some info to this issue https://github.com/boppreh/keyboard/issues/264 as to how we're dealing with this in some of our projects. Funnily enough, I didn't know about `python -m keyboard`, and had I known about it, it would definitely have saved me some time!

Once again, thank you very much for your hard work!
Telsa's only significant achievement was to create a company structure that allowed it to pursue a loss making manufacturing startup to begin with. The big auto makers have golden handcuffs and can't risk that sort of paradigm shift to a new market. Now they know people will buy them they will easily retool towards electric. I think Tesla will either be crushed or end up a midsized player.
I have a feeling stocks had little to do with fundamentals for pretty much as long as you were able to make more money trading them than from dividends.
This is actually a good point. I think you changed my mind :)

Thanks for the thoughtful post
What do you make of the claim in this article [1], which says that intermediate host species were found within 4 months of SARS1 outbreak, and within 9 months of MERS outbreak? Admittedly I can't find the underlying source for his claims.

Ah, yes. The well-known moving of the goalpost only scrum fans are capable of. Where scrum is simultaneously the solution to everything, and also never "done correctly."
Non-story. AirPods Max only stream via BT. Hi-Res Lossless requires INSANE bandwidth. Bluetooth is naturally lossy. Therefore, AirPods Max cannot support lossless.
That's apparently their strategy, much like Facebook: impair the mobile web experience and push users to the app(s).
When they provide an interior that isn't inferior to ICE cars (e.g. physical buttons and readings/dials in front of the driver) - and don't lose half their battery life for me in the winter heating the vehicle - then I'll probably buy an EV.
>I still don't understand your argument here though. It's impressive because Apple was able to get first dibs on next generation technology?

The M1's performance lead wasn't created by a move from TSMC 7nm to TSMC 5nm.

See, here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27184236

The Firestorm cores in the M1 in the M1 get their performance from (among other things) having a very wide core that performs more instructions in a single clock cycle, despite running the cores much more slowly than AMD does.

There's a good break down of that and other design advantages here:

I'm a french speaker, Jolie is a common woman name, yes it also means pretty, but that's like people called Lily or Prince. The logo is also a woman's eye + brow.

It's possible the author was going for the meaning of pretty, but there still seem to be a strong personification happening with emphasis on it being a beautiful woman, and it's that aspect that unease me.

Again, you can call your language however you choose too, and I'm not going to judge it by its name, but I still personally find this womanization trend in programming language names a bit weird.

I'll probably get used to it, though it does feel like an interesting meta-psycholigical subject as well. Where are the programming languages named John, Richard and David? Why are we calling a language by a person's name? Why are their logo becoming human facial features?
We went pretty quickly from "it started somewhere in China" to beating elderly asian people to death in the streets. I think the backlash was more against the justifications people use to be awful.
Is it possible to make a single lens microscope with modern methods that's capable of resolving at the cellular level? I've never heard of such a thing, and my optics is spotty but I wouldn't think a spherical lens would get you there. The discussion of aperture sizes in the paper is over my head, do they contribute to the resolving power?
There have always been conspiracy theories but I think it's more relevant to note how quickly this theory was co-opted by anti-asian racism and converted into a version where that lab escape was interpreted to be an intention action to cause a world wide pandemic.

I really sympathize with both sides here - I think it's quite possible a lab accident was involved with the virus escaping into the world... but the benefit we'd get from knowing that would mostly involve labs being a lot more careful with PPE and I think we've seen PPE usage tick way up and the dangerous involved with disease handling get a lot larger of a spotlight. And, I also think that beating up or harassing Asian-Americans is wrong and if we need to tell a big societal level lie to people to get them to stop then I'm okay with that.
I don't think I've been advancing the idea that this should have been consequence-free. I just think some people (who, fortunately, haven't had much insight into "the system") may not be aware how the burden, financial and otherwise, for punishment can be in excess of the explicit punishment for a crime, and fall on far more people than just the offender, in ways that result in punishment being de facto much worse for the poor than the rich, even when prison time is in some way involved, and cause significant harm to families and communities in ways that don't seem particularly useful to the pursuit of justice. I find some of the ways these things are applied to be poverty-reinforcing, which is a really bad idea if you want less crime to happen, rather than more.

(FWIW I haven't downvoted any of your posts)
> why would anyone buy a Tesla over a comparatively priced Audi, Porsche, Mercedes or BMW

Because you want to drive far?

Tesla model 3 range: 354 - 504 km

Porsche Taycan range: 333 - 463 km

(and most certainly not comparatively priced)
it seems likely from the "Quest" section that they're using

In retrospect, thinking about the end problem, he really should have written a custom front-end that used SSH (or TLS) and a custom protocol to remotely send input and receive telemetry, as most term emus don't support this kind of behavior. It could still be a TUI, but it'd be local and use evdev. What'd be nice is then you could actually use a joystick if you had one ^_^
I don't know who is acting like that, but that's the kind of thing that becomes very interesting if you believe COVID leaked from a lab and not appeared suddenly at a wet market.

Circa 1999, I was a member of a search and rescue team through the explorer scouts. We got to carry milspec GPS devices on a hike once, because the forestry service wanted accurate maps of some trails. We were under strict orders not to deviate from the trail or tamper with the devices. Very fun cloak&dagger atmosphere for what was otherwise a lovely walk in a park. Hilarious that the need for such missions was obviated a few months later
All of these problems sound like they come from developers who don't know how to develop distributed systems. If anything this should be simplifying an otherwise intractible problem. I have seen people overuse messaging and had to fix what I could. I otherwise reach for RMQ as a simple solution to horizontal scaling and I write the software to easily switch brokers (Aws SQS, on prem RMQ, cloud RMQ). It's not something that you choose to adopt and then force developers to make every interaction a distributed message.

Fair enough. Especially the third one. Especially outside US.

I've been joking to my wife for years now that we should get a Tesla eventually. Over that time, I've seen her going from "what's up with these EVs anyway?", through "that's a really expensive car", to "sure, but if anything breaks, IIRC the closest shop that can repair it is in Norway".

Welp; meeting him briefly by accident once was the reason I decided to go straight into the field of development instead of going to school for it around 2008.

I took a moment and read some of his contributions - very fascinating to read his comments on the whole Oculus thing, especially!

Thank you so kindly for sharing that.
Maybe this is how Reddit is juicing the numbers; force users to create several alts, and voila! our DAU are up!!1!
