It's likely market positioning factors.

A big part of Tesla's success was making electric vehicles that were covetable, rather than being obvious "we made this for compliance reasons or to get a government contract" products. This means targeting a luxury market segment. The way they chose to wow luxury consumers was with high performance and a lot of technological gimmickry.

> There are also catch-all laws in the US that one can go to prison for, basically for acting in "bad faith" but never actually doing anything else criminally wrong.

As someone who used to be a criminal prosecutor in the US, I would be very interested in seeing citations to whatever statute you are referencing.

As far as being charged as an accessory, you generally need to have known that a crime was or would be occurring, and to have provided some form of assistance. That doesn't need to be direct actions in the act, it could be financial or emotional assistance.

And no one is going to prison over shoplifting unless we're talking about repeat offenders or large amounts of cash. Let alone just happening to know someone who shoplifted and failing to report them.

Having said that, definitely don't talk to the police without a lawyer present.
> their paternalism shouldn't be called out

Totally off topic: that phrasing made my brain skip a beat. I've always seen "called out" used to convey confrontation, especially in a public manner like "He called out Apple on Twitter for their paternalism." Turns out a similarly common use is the more general "to bring attention to" in a positive way.
"[N]early two million apps" and almost all of them are total junk because no one adheres to Apple's Human Interface Guidelines[1]. It's a sea of garbage. Real quality operation you run, Schiller. Every time I browse the App Store I feel like I'm walking through a bazaar. No coherency. No taste. Nordstrom my behind.

Ask HN: What Happened to Classical Planning?
Classical planning is the problem of reaching a goal state from an initial state, given actions with preconditions and effects. It dates back to 1971, with STRIPS. Nowadays problems are written in PDDL ( https://planning.wiki/ ), and there's a competition for solvers. Many real-world problems from logistics to robotics can be modeled in PDDL.. it's like SMT but for plans instead of propositions.

But PDDL is low-level and cumbersome, the competition problems are small and stale, the solvers haven't gotten much better in a decade and nobody seems to use it in industry. The whole field is stuck in AI winter. Why?
Even the most extreme proponents of the 2nd amendment have examples of it working

The various police forces during the capital seige - in January, remember how that was this year - said they used less force because the participants were armed and knew they could shoot back

Their whole thing is that they will make the state think twice, whereas the peaceful and unarmed protestors get knocked around with no recourse

Without examples, its easy to think they are advocating for actually killing government officials with their guns in order to get their way, but after a year of examples I can at least say I have experienced competing and conflicting ideas in action
> Foreign languages

This reminds me of how Wheelock's Latin is the introductory Latin textbook. It's 65 years old and still in use.
That answer is so informative and yet it completely misses the point.

The problem is even called out in the answer itself:

> For example, our example "Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since 1999" signifies the fact that "capital of Scotland" depends on the time at which it is being considered. Such context-dependence is a reality, both in natural languages and programming languages.

"Therein lies the rub." Such context-dependence doesn't have to be a reality in programming languages. "2 + 2 = 4" is an eternal verity, not subject to context-dependence. The whole point of FP (going back to Backus' Turing Award paper where he introduces and defines "FP") is to operate in the pure realm of [binary Boolean] logic.
There's no way the DOD would allow only China to make components that their contracts require. I'm sure there are domestic producers.

My understanding is that `wad`s are specifically for the Wii (and Google seems to back me up on that), so regardless of where they got it from the fact that it was a `wad` means they were playing the Wii version. If it was an actual Wii U version it would be some other format.
Well, give it a go! Or alternatively, look for languages that have been successful in enforcing any kind of purity and that also permit unrestricted use of higher order functions.
Ok, I was commenting on the US subsidiary of Canadian firm example (which you didn't seem to agree on).

But I don't think that the meaning of "forcing all revenue to go through a single point" is clear at all.

From the point of view of most countries sending money out to Cupertino wouldn't be an improvement over sending it to Cork if that still means that they don't get to tax it.
What you're saying is obvious. Yes, of course, research, especially of the incremental kind results in innovations we see every day.

But there's a difference between the steady, ongoing improvements that follow from continued iteration and improvement and the whole "Groundbreaking, revolutionary technology that will change everything but is always decades away".

The fatigue doesn't come from the obvious incremental improvements, but those earth-shattering ones that always promise to be just around the corner but end up unattainable. From fusion reactors to flying cars, graphene-powered supercapacitors to 50%+ efficiency solar energy cells, and even, dare I say it, truly level 5 autonomous vehicles, these things are always just here, but fail to materialize.

No one is doubting the progress of technology. The problem is the science fiction-like promotion of technologies that fail to see any commercialization.
Yeah, probably not any worse than fish (well, specific varieties of fish that have been found to have deleterious levels of mercury and received cautions against consumption).

I get the criticism but looking at the history of caching plugins' security issues and the commonality of screwed up caching, it's obvious there isn't a one-size-fit-all solution.

Rather than dynamic caching, most users wanting to survive getting hugged on a simple blog would probably best be served by one of the static site generators for Wordpress. Takes out the main bottlenecks and leaves a lot more flexibility in how to serve it.

That applies to literally everything that goes against business interests. It's not an insurmountable hurdle.
The problem with these roundabouts is that a car driver cannot simply "exit the roundabout". They have to watch front, side and rear for cyclists. IMHO a roundabout should only ever impede traffic on entry. Once you're in the roundabout your journey around and out should be entirely unimpeded. Following the basic principles, there should never be a situation where a vehicle is going around the outter circumference of the roundabout blocking a vehicle from exiting. (Even a bicycle)
I am not sure many people don't want to focus. Some of us simply can't because they need to feed their families. Thus, the question for me at least, is not if I want to focus, but when. When can my side hustle generate enough income so that I can stop having a day job? The other option is to get external funding, which has its own set of problems.

By the way, many businesses have been built like that. Take Nike, for example. Phil Knight, the founder, worked as an accountant during the day for many years while building his shoe empire.
I always understood the side project thing as a way to develop skills that you don't develop at work. I'm never really going to improve writing simple python stuffor crud. I have no reason to get better once I'm at the point completing my job satisfactorily or even have opportunities to get out of my comfort zone as far as programing goes. I have no way of knowing what I don't know.

When I was working on side stuff all the time, I was getting better rapidly, finding new ideas, solving problems in better ways and just always out of my comfort zone. I stopped because I did get burned out a bit. The focus was never resume filler though.

The vast majority of non-commercial truck use is not towing or hauling. Just look at the pickups you see on the road. Most are just luxury vehicles at this point. Not much difference than a slightly more practical sportscar.
From the article:

> How to help someone get promoted

Any strategic or tactical advice is particular to each company. This is not a skill. The other skills include mentoring, so this seems a little redundant.
Non-profits and charities perform at the behest of the whims of a small number of rich donors instead of needing to get through the reality filter of making a profit in the broad consumer marketplace.
I know it’s all hypothetical, but do you think the startups would have grown if you had focused solely on growing them rather than the side projects? I know that the median case has bigcorp earnings outpacing startups but in my startup experience (main source of my assets) the early engineers who were super plugged in made an outsized impact on our outcomes that turned into a good financial outcome for them.

Maybe the principle is different though (not startup can bigco)... I did a bunch of side projects in school and at bigco before concentrating focus, so in a way we both went broad then had success going deep.

Just thinking out loud, I think we agree.
So it's like withdrawing money from the bank as cash to use. I get that, but after I promise the money to bunch of people how does the system prevent me from double spending or just redepositing my money to my account?
> Not only do you avoid looking like a jerk by trying to end a conversation with "look it up" or something similar

What on Earth are you talking about? Your whole comment is in reference to rebuffing a request for more details with "look it up". _Nobody here is doing that_. The original comment mentioned FIRE without describing it; presumably you don't think every mention of an organization must come with an executive summary? The response then whined about how the previous comment left them with an ungoogleable dead-end. My comment simply said that, with context, it was far from ungoogleable (and thus the aggressive tone towards the parent comment wasn't warranted). The reason I personally didn't provide more information is that I myself am not that familiar with FIRE, certainly not to the extent that I'd be able to summarize why they're an adequate substitute for the ACLU.

> you evangelized something that you believe in instead of leaving them potentially thinking "People who like FIRE must be jerks

This and the rest of your comment is a perfect example of the decay of discourse behind things like the ACLU's troubles. Instead of trying to understand what they read, people like you are desperate to pattern-match to some imagined ill and then mistake your hysterical emotional response for moral reasoning.

Because not all hosting providers compatible with Wordpress are compatible with these caching addons, it's as simple as that. Wordpress runs on the lowest sane PHP+Apache+Mysql environment.

Now I can't access this website but it looks like it doesn't need to run on PHP, it should be using a static site generator.
So true. I don't see how anyone could feel financially secure with less than a few million in net worth. Everyone else is one accident away from drifting down into poverty.
A few questions:

- Why does the number of twitter followers matter? Did the employees also see a rise in the number of users who signed up for the product?

- A dead giveaway on bought followers is the lack of interaction; Your account has 100k followers but only 5 likes and one reply..

My suggestion would be "Don't do it", but if you already did and went down that way then hire a freelance social-media person for a week, after they leave you can pretend its their fault.
Free speech is table stakes for a free society. Those claiming otherwise are playing with fire.
I think it’s impossible for a human to read a mainstream body of minority political work and not come out with an association between black and oppressed. The entire dominant narrative is that all minority groups are oppressed. That association is definitely present in the text. Maybe it’s the case that we need to explicitly remove all negative associations for things like skin colour (potentially a hard problem in its own right) to generate more egalitarian text. But it’s not merely a matter of AI getting things wrong some negative associations are actually present in the text.
Agree completely. I failed greatly at #11 at my last job. And payed for years. And absolutely second your endorsement of The Managers Path. If anyone here has ever read a “management” book and been baffled by how stupid it was, know that this book is very much a different breed.
The ACLU’s mission isn’t about defending the constitution, plenty of other organizations step up for that. Their scope includes all those liberties which don’t show up on the constitution which is a much larger issue.

“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as”

Many people just have a problem with word except on that line and so many other places in society. As such the ACLU’s goal is to push for improvements not simply defend the current situation.
Their PR lets them have it both ways.
"Doesn't work" would be a significant loss of efficiency compared to colocation. I'm not going to try to define "significant" rigorously. Something like, "if you adjust everyone's salary to compensate for it, nobody wants to work there any more." Whereas fully remote would be a small enough hit (if any) that people would choose it for the other benefits.

There's a few people who have experience in successful mixed environments. I'm curious how, so I hope to hear more from them.

ADL's stated mission is "To stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment to all..." It seems like the ADL has legitimate work it can be doing, unless you think Jews and all people are treated fairly. I don't think you're saying that, and I do think you're saying it's not doing the work that it could be doing. Could you say more about that?

"Of the 1,715 victims of anti-religious hate crimes:

60.2 percent were victims of crimes motivated by offenders’ anti-Jewish bias."

https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime/2019/topic-pages/victims

Anti-Jewish hate-crimes make up a majority of the anti-religious hate crimes in the US. (You could argue they should be classified as "Racial/ethnicity/ancestry bias" but that's another discussion).

The statistics aren't perfect - not every crime or possible crime is reported to law enforcement, and not every law enforcement agency in the US shares hate crime information with the federal government. A recent law changed that so it's required instead of optional, so likely more will be doing so in the future.

Interesting how she talks about this being a big pressure in creative fields. I'm in the UX space, and it seems like people always like to talk about their side hustle, or getting a side hustle. This is especially true for connections on LinkedIn. Meanwhile, I couldn't care less about having a side hustle, and don't really want to have one as it seems that the people with side hustles are working all the time.

I wouldn't say Amazon is doing the exact same as Walmart. Walmart never attacked the long tail of retail, the specialist shops where people talk to the retailer for advice or guidance on purchases. Walmart never offered these products.

That's where Amazon hits, once a customer knows what to buy they can find it on Amazon.
And when you learn that basic accounting, a couple of things. Cost accounting and financial accounting are related, but different. For financial accounting, there are often a number of different ways you could account for something. The right answer may well not be something you can figure out from first principles. You do it the way FASB says to do it. This took me a bit to appreciate.
Or you can use a hypergeometric calculator https://stattrek.com/online-calculator/hypergeometric.aspx

I made a recursive hypergeometric calculator in python for fun and learning. I believe there's technically more efficient ways to go about things. This comes up in many many situations where you draw without replacement.

If you are drawing WITH replacement, you can use a binomial distribution https://stattrek.com/online-calculator/binomial.aspx
That's pretty awesome. I only know a few people who have managed to make any money at all on art, and very few who have regular buyers. Art these days has become so cheap and commodified. Even if you don't break even getting to travel on it and 'break even' is worth it.

The questions is how did you arrive where you did? Did you paint for years without any return and then found patrons who buy your works regularly? Did you market and advertise? Did someone you knew send buyers your way?

There are a trillion people on youtube trying to make money selling art, and feeding themselves on other things. There are a much smaller number regularly selling physical paintings.
The ACLU has never defended or supported Hellerian 2A rights (https://www.aclu.org/other/second-amendment), and its not clear that they should change their position due to a shift in SC precedent, anymore than that they should shift their position on speech if the SC decided to revert to Schenck.
This is a good list, and I'd add Nietzsche's classic aphorism to it, as these are also vital:

Ein Mensch mit Genie ist unausstehlich, wenn er nicht mindestens noch zweierlei dazu besitzt: Dankbarkeit und Reinlichkeit. (A man of genius is unbearable, unless he possess at least two things besides: gratitude and cleanliness.)

There's kind of a lot of missing pieces here:

* This is a simple strategy, which is fine, but also means you are not the only person who has noticed this. Why do you think this makes money? Is there some risk you are being compensated for, or is there some forced trading you're picking up the other side of, or something else?

* Which of the common equity factors (https://mba.tuck.dartmouth.edu/pages/faculty/ken.french/data...) is your strategy exposed to, and by how much?

* What are the basic return statistics of the strategy, like Sharpe and drawdown?

* How sensitive is the strategy to parameter variations? What if you sell the second best ETF instead of the best? What if you sell on day n+2 instead of n+1? What if you buy the worst ETF?

And about a dozen other things that you should look into before you actually try trading.
Normally you want to reserve the "unused" opcodes in order to assign them new semantics (new instructions) later in an updated CPU model. To discourage programs from using those yet unassigned opcodes, CPUs usually trap if they encounter them (i.e. raise an "illegal instruction" interrupt).

The 6502 approach of just executing some random (but deterministic) logic leads to a situation where the "illegal" opcodes cannot be expected to be unused (programs actually use them), and where assigning them new semantics effectively breaks compatibility with existing programs. That’s why CPUs usually invest in the extra logic necessary to give those opcodes undesirable behavior (i.e. traps).
I kept nearly all of my textbooks from college 40 years ago. None of them are outdated. They still fetch high prices used on Amazon.
To follow this advice, you have to:
A) Be the type of person who can focus on only one thing
B) Love not learning or doing other fun things because a career trumps all things in life
C) Like putting all your eggs in one basket and hoping your career or skill is always relevant
D) Love being the best you can be for the benefit of your boss
E) Want to work in a career for the rest of your life

Of course the most successful people you mentor are the ones who are only doing what you are guiding them to do and aren't distracted by life, it doesn't mean they are better.

This sounds like propaganda given by the CEO to have more effective employees. There is no doubt that focus can help you improve and get there faster, but at what cost and with what life goals?

Side hustles can be fun, profitable and life changing. We've got at least 3 that has allowed my partner to reduce her work hours to 4 days a week and generates half of her salary. We can buy fun stuff and business expense it and if we continue to improve we can gain more control and freedom.

Original post was about having hobbies and not feeling guilty about not turning them into side businesses. It would be better if our culture was set as a default to say "that's awesome, it's so good you could sell it if you were so inclined, but feel no pressure to do so, I just want you to know it's that good", instead of saying "you should make a store/service to sell your hobby" and make people feel bad, even though it's just a compliment.
