Martinez made the mistake of going full TJ Miller, you never go full TJ Miller. There are costs for mistakes.

The people in the club don't want him in and they make the rules. Unlike Soviets, Apple isn't the state and Martinez can go elsewhere. No one forced Martinez to pen the book. There are all sorts of books you can write that will cause a negative reputation to precede you. Your reputation has consequences! Imagine that!
I think 20 year old cars have different requirements than new cars.
Here the deal:

It's scary to know what is going on in some poples head. You see their crazy dark thoughts and you just can't ever trust them anymore. You don't want to be alone in a room with the guy, because he obviously has some serious issues.

Can you see how that affects other people's ability to do their job?
There's a difference between countries routinely buzzing airspace with military aircraft to show they can and test the response, and entering airspace with military aircraft to threaten a foreign civilian airliner, which could reasonably be interpreted as an act of war.
Vaporware with shipping units and published source code?

Most high-tech startups have a significant percentage of their stock held by their employees, though I don't know if that was the case here; Torrone's note about hackaday's history suggests otherwise.
Any major customers using this and if so how?
Then it's on Tesla to deliver product instead of press releases about what they might do in the future. It is not the responsibility of the consumer to financially support Tesla's pie-in-the-sky, but perhaps I have misinterpreted your comment.
I guess I'm still not being clear - when you read John Carmack's programs you realize that it just isn't necessary to do complex nonsense.

If you take a look at the doom source code you realize this isn't the cutting edge of mathematics, he is cranking out great software by avoiding all that and using high school algebra (literally and figuratively) instead.

While other people spin their wheels sweating over following snake oil bob's pamphlet Carmack is making programs that people want, source code that people want and work that stands the test of time.
Right, but newlines are not semantically meaningful in JSON. JSON with newlines stripped naively will parse identically to JSON containing those newlines.

Please re-read my post and you'll see that I wasn't defending the article. In point of fact, I merely highlighted the fact that you said this article's evidence doesn't hold up, and then immediately said, "There is no way I’ll believe most drivers want to be employees."

That sounds like you would refuse to believe any other data, always and forever, if it contradicted your personal belief. Before anyone else might be able to chime in with other sources that may be more concrete, you have shut that down entirely. Your mind's made up, and that is that.
I'm unclear how you have a threat model that isn't based on speculation. Unless they are having third party audits that I'm unaware of, I basically have Google's word right now that they are deleting my data. I agree that the evidence suggests that right now, Google does not sell your data, and that they have adequate security. That doesn't mean I trust them when they say they delete my data, or that my data will be safe forever.

I'm not even saying that Google is selling it, I'm just arguing that it makes practical sense to me to have that assumption from a privacy standpoint.
In all seriousness - how is that any different from ChromeOS or Android? It's not like the kernel is what determines privacy issues.
The aggregation is just a search engine with thumbnails. It will do the same job as youtube - a search engine for videos, without hosting any.
If one objects to that I might think they take themselves too seriously.
Linux is GPL.
The way that common lisp does this though is pretty much creating a core dump that you can execute, which isn't what most people are expecting from an executable. It's not a _bad_ way, it's just pretty unique to common lisp.
They might want to keep their driver source closed, and even if they don't upstreaming code into the kernel is simply a ton of extra work.
Ah, then it finally clicks. I really think you need to make this a lot clearer though. As others have already pointed out, if you're going to require this information, I think you need to ask for it up-front - don't ask for it at the end of the installer.

Something else I would add is that there are almost 300,000 people "in my team" using my business email domain (yep, it's a big company). I think better wording here would be "organization", rather than "team". But...

...I'm personally pretty unsure about this whole-company team/organization thing overall - for example, I work at a consultancy/outsourcer, and we can't just share whatever we want beteen divisions or teams. You've raised a lot of money (congrats :), and at some point you and your investors are going to want to make some money; so you can either charge individuals (which you've ruled out), or charge companies. Assuming the latter, and assuming you're going after larger companies with a lot of devs/sysadmins, I think your approach/presentation needs to be better tailored to that audience. If you're set on this "team" approach, I personally think it would be better to have it more like Slack (and many others), where someone has "ownership" rights for the team, and can manage its membership.

Thinking some more, I'm guessing your plan is something like: get as many individual devs/sysadmins on board for free, so they want it at work. If that's right, you need 2 better approaches/presentations: let individuals get it without barriers (like asking for business email...), and have a clearly separate paid plan.

Imagine thinking that money solves such problems.

Who are you going to pay for that? Your neighbor Joey, he will go and perform an intelligence operation in a foreign country? Or maybe some professional CIA-as-a-service corporation?
> I personally don't feel all that productive spending like half my time just navigating the code rather than actually reading it

Had this problem at a previous job - main dev before I got there was extremely into the whole "small methods" cult and you'd regularly need to open 5-10 files just to track down what something did. Made life - and the code - a nightmare.
Genuine answer: power.

Power consumption is a hard constraint. The benefits of A64 have to outweigh the cost in power consumption, and the benefits just aren't there. Coin cells, small solar collectors and supercaps are among the extremely limited power sources for many Cortex M applications.

People often ask what a union could do for tech employees given they are already extremely well-compensated.

One key thing would be to stop bullshit like this.
"Don't be Evil" is outdated. Now it's "Do the right thing".
We’ve had terrible, smoke smelling, old taxis serving small areas compared to today, that may or may not show up if you lived a little out of the way.

I suspect many people can’t afford the level of service that Uber/Lyft have gotten them accustomed to over the past decade.

A possible solution would be to let drivers bid on trips proposed by passengers.
How is underscore these days?

Lodash as an npm module is out of control, file-size wise, and I'm not sure I'm really getting anything for it, other than once a year having to make sure we don't have ten copies of it that can't be deduped (Currently it's occupying 29MB of disk space on my production machines)
The problem with reinforced concrete (2016)
Yes, as it turns out, open source projects cannot dictate what people work on to the same degree as companies, and there are far more people willing to do non-spec work. Those efforts aren't fungible though; progress has been made on both fronts, the spec work is just far less visible.

"is important" != "the most important thing"

Didn't gloflo officially announce they will stick to >14nm a few years ago? Have they started developing a new node? IIRC they just didn't have the capital to keep churning out a few dozens of billions on r&d/equipment every few years, so they shifted their focus on maximizing yield on older nodes
To be clear, you think most commercial software runs on linux because you think most commercial software is services running in data centers?
The hiring was a massive mistake even if you discount the person's attitude toward his prospective co-workers:

He had very publicly ridiculed user privacy, which is one of the core defining values that Apple purports to uphold.

He had very publicly aired all sorts of dirty laundry about previous employers, which was virtually guaranteed to happen eventually after some period of employment at Apple, and which is something Apple particularly hates.

So it's entirely beyond me how anybody thought he was a good fit at Apple.

That said, once hired, I think he's owed some monetary compensation for steps he took in reliance on the new job (at least morally, and quite possibly even legally, even in an at-will state).
Episode 1.
I feel like we could have the same conversation about the Docker folks and so this feels more like a popularity contest than an objective conversation.
Certainly it is misleading, but technically correct if you check those tenses:

"these will be the first Tesla vehicles to rely on camera vision and neural net processing to deliver Autopilot, Full-Self Driving and certain active safety features."

Future tenses all the way. Someone might make them clarify this, but the clarification won't be as high profile as this release.
> Having worked as an engineer at one of the above it was clear that the amount people are willing to pay for a ride or food delivery is fundamentally less than what you need to pay a driver.

Every market has an equilibrium price. The old medallion system enforced a given (high) price, and the result was that the drivers had to work 12+ hours to break even due to the medallion price and the low demand.

Uber has shifted that equilibrium point. I'm not sure it's above minimum wage, but note that taxi medallions didn't enforce a minimal wage either. But nobody would be doing it if it wasn't profitable.

That is neither a beach ball, nor a tree.
Purely anecdotally it looks to me that a lot of it moved to (pretty profitable) youtube channels, all the way from Mark Roper, to Applied Science, Simone Giertz, Michael Reeves, etc.
We need something like github for news articles.
I can't replicate the exact numbers, but I don't see how one random string looks more authentic than the other. Whereas a handmade autograph with all its human inconsistencies looks more authentic than one made with a mechanical device.

I'm just as good as the most accomplished artist at reading numbers from /dev/random, that's why I don't see why one random-looking string would be more valuable than the other.

This sounds like a disruptive competitor to existing Siemens product lines (50% of the functionality for 5% of the price). Maybe your best hope is that Siemens management doesn't notice that Tindie is a sales channel for things like this.
Can this be (or will be) integrated with Stripe Connect?

So that a StripeLink buyer who is being charges can also later receive revenue ?
"Gain of function research" is when you stimulate micro-organisms so that they gain new attributes. For viruses these properties could be infectiousness or antibody resistance.

One way you can do that is by putting evolutive selection pressure on the micro-organisms. For instance, submit a colony of bacteria to something they are vulnerable to. Stop when 90% of the colony is dead. Cultivate the colony back to a full size, then repeat the protocol until you get bacteria that are fully resistant.
The DNS protocol is just a landmine even for the most experienced developers. Just look at those recursive name fields!

I think it's time we come up with something better.

Not listening when people say things that they don't want to hear.
Trump Derangement Syndrome (which is more than mere opposition to Trump) is a religious phenomenon and its adherents are just as incapable of acknowledging their irrationality as fundamentalists of any religion.
Do you have an example of such a website? I'm genuinely curious if such a thing exists. I've been doing some CSS+HTML tutorials lately, and the ones I've been reading, I don't see how you would without style attributes in all of your tags, which is essentially just using CSS.
I disagree. One of the things that stops people from actually using Linux is that it is so hard to get devices working properly.

I would be willing to accept some closed source drivers if it meant Linux actually worked reliably on most modern hardware (no it really doesn't).
Have you tried multiple instances or searched for content on a PeerTube search engine like https://sepiasearch.org ?
I disagree with your take on the "makers" market. The maker world is far more interesting today than in 1985.

Yes, there are no "brick and mortar" stores because in 1985, brick and mortar was the only type of store that existed. Nowadays, Internet shopping is so developed that Adafruit, Sparkfun, Digi-Key, etc. don't need brick and mortar stores. The experience of shopping for parts online is much better than at a Radioshack -- it's not like you need to physically inspect a 555 timer to gain any information about it before you buy it, like you would with a winter jacket. The only thing lost is the ability to get a part today which sometimes sucks but that's life. We don't need 6 magazines anymore because people put their code on Github and their projects on YouTube, and for free. Profits in the industry are probably lower but that's because there's more competition from other vendors and from people just sharing this stuff with no profit motive, which maybe sucks for the industry but is fantastic for the hobbyists of limited means.

Today, hobbyist makers are building stuff that actually does something useful, that has no commercial substitute. With Github, YouTube, forums, people are inspiring each other to make more interesting things than in 1985. Back in 1985 people were usually building stuff that could be bought. Today people are building stuff that can't be bought, and if there's enough of a market for it they productize it with Kickstarter or Tindie. People are sharing code and board designs and projects, and whether at the high end like Mark Rober or the low end like some guy's homebrewing controller the maker world is really bursting with success.

The irony.
This is one of those OSes that has the possibility to be very interesting, the article lists 3 devices that have shipped with it, but all 3 are more appliances, vs full fledged computers.
I feel this must explain why every Android device I've owned has felt janky in some way, while with an Apple phone it just seems to work.

Why do you need the blockchain for any of the stuff you mentioned?
Yes, but you get it fast, with service and no random customs problems. Sometimes for things that don't scale ($20 vs $10 one time) it may not matter much for some.
I'm also interested in this, and someone recently shared this with me: https://stripe.com/newsroom/news/taxjar

Apparently Stripe's acquisition of TaxJar is meant to expand their offerings in sales tax compliance.

From the article:

As the latest addition to Stripe’s revenue platform, TaxJar will help businesses automate tasks such as:

- Providing accurate sales tax rates at checkout, tied to the exact street address of the customer.

- Automatically submitting tax returns to local jurisdictions and remitting the sales tax collected.

- Producing local jurisdiction reports to show sales and sales tax collected—not only for each state, but for relevant counties, cities, and other special jurisdictions.

- Evaluating a company’s products and intelligently suggesting the right product tax code.

I wouldn't bet on it. Sounds like IBM OS2 all over again.
On the 14th of June 2017, a gunman radicalized by Facebook shot a member of Congress, Steve Scalise, after asking about his political affiliation. This actual shooting which actually left Scalise in hospital fighting for his life with serious internal injuries which required multiple life-saving operations did not lead to any of the media hand-wringing about political violence that the storming of the Capitol - where the members of Congress who "feared for their lives" were barracaded securely away from the supposed potential threat, and the only person who got shot was one of the people storming the building - did. Instead, the Democrats and publications like the New York Times pushed a completely false narrative that actually, Scalise and his party were the ones that inspired the shooting of a member of Congress, falsely blaming the shooting of Gabby Giffords on them when in reality that had nothing to do with national partisan politics at all.

This isn't even a "both sides" thing, because I'm pretty sure there isn't any actual equivalent of the attack on Scalise but on the other side. It stands almost entirely alone in recent US political history, a uniquely awful example of America's political polarisation turning into a justification for violence and attempted assassination that came incredibly close to succeeding. (Also, I would be shocked if one of the things that radicalized the attacker wasn't false claims of presidential election rigging, just because they were so utterly pervasive on social media amongst people with his political affiliation back then.)

All the mainstream American media narratives about the dangers of political violence have nothing to do with actual political violence. It's a weapon they use against the political side they oppose and stop caring about or even become apologists for when the side they support is carrying out the violence.
I might go. But I'm not sure an out of shape balding programmer would be much help.

It's appealing to try to help this person, though. Maybe other people feel the same.
Apples to oranges. You providing this as an equivalent example to the current state of politics-based censorship is a more telling embodiment of the situation.

The example here is demonstrably provable by pulling out a copy of Hamlet and flipping to Act Five, Scene Two. When Twitter shadow-bans accounts and hides hashtags of discussion they don't agree with politically, they aren't able to do this. Their thought process is clouded by the illusion that they're positively not-wrong...but when questioned or presented with counter-evidence, they defer to Hitchens's razor (a flawed methodology) and put wax in their ears.
Sure, that's one way to parse this format. The advantage is that individual records can also be manipulated by JSON-agnostic code, so you can easily do things like stream processing.
I guess that's the point being made by ancestor comments: When prices are that low, it's hard to make enough to support a large operation for (relatively) low volume, even if individual margins are high.

Plus, until recently, you could order things from aliexpress or banggood etc. at low Chinese prices and not even pay shipping (that was essentially free).
> I wouldn't get matched with a driver but he'd be willing to drive me home for $50, paid via cash or venmo (for comparison, my Uber ride to the airport was $12). After watching the drivers a bit, SURPRISE, the app wasn't buggy. The drivers were just working as a cartel to deny every potential fare, which jacked up the prices in the app. Then they'd swoop up to frustrated travelers and offer to drive them home for an even more exorbitant rate, while also sidestepping Uber's cut.

Someone should go report the plates to the airport authorities. Pretty sure it's illegal for individuals to offer "cash-only" rides like that.
The regulations apply to new cars.

That’s how almost all regulations for vehicle standard enhancements are implemented.

It's interesting they might be banned not for allowing controversial content but rather selective censorship. It worked for these sites in the US, may not be tolerated elsewhere. Those using the f-word to describe the government, should know that the government wants full free speech, not the California controlled version of it.
The current implementation of Fig is a native macOS app (Swift/ObjC) that exposes an API to access terminal specific information - edit buffer, working directory, current process, etc. On every platform we support, we'll implement this natively.

As Fig grows, we want to enable an ecosystem of UI extensions for the terminal that are built to go cross platform. Using web technology here made sense since we can leverage built-in webviews for rendering or bundle a lightweight implementation like Tauri[0].
