>soon enough after that we will be able to build electric cars from kits

I'm skeptical.

An internal combustion engine is a complicated, engineering marvel. But a complete engine, as a unit, isn't difficult to remove/insert. It's big, heavy and awkward, sure (so are electric motors and batteries), but an experienced person can do an engine swap in a couple of hours. And yet there aren't many people building ICE cars from kits. Why not?

Because the drivetrain is only one part of what makes a good car good.
BluRays are fully digital so just moving it from the disc into another container on the computer, without touching the actual video and audio data, is a possibility. It's called a "REMUX".
Now go look up the Thermomix. Apparently pretty popular in AUS/NZ but very niche in the States and Europe(?).

Cool idea, but I can't imagine they have a long life if being used with any sort of regularity.

Some unbiased sources there.

And yet, many of them did do violence and there's plenty of video evidence of that.
No need for a trailer, since a typical EV already has more capacity than most home battery solutions. Example: A 2021 Tesla Model 3 Long Range AWD stores 82 kWh[0], while a PowerWall 2 only stores 13.5 kWh[1]. So a single Model 3 is the equivalent of up to 6 PowerWalls. All it's missing is official support for vehicle-to-grid connections.

The range is the death of these vehicles. Otherwise they look great.
Lots of good points. I gotta blame my Elixir tutorial (Dave Thomas) for some bad habits: over-reliance on pipes and pattern-matching in function args. He hates if-then in a function. He would take an if-then in a function and split both clauses out into their own function. Seemed fishy to me. Trying too hard to be elegant.

I think the original article is predicated on the notion of "management" as a role (specific person so designated), and not a skill, that can be taken up by any developer. If it was the latter then the whole argument would fall apart.

Personally, I think managers are primarily intermediaries between capitalists and laborers. So they are needed under capitalist mode of production, where surplus value is extracted (according to Marx, at least), but they are probably superfluous under different modes of production, like that of open-source software.
This is a sadly accurate comment. Please pass the hemlock.
Lol yeah, "I have no idea what you're talking about". I bet you sell that bullshit in San Francisco.
I don’t have any special insight, I’m just pointing out that Amnesty doesn’t have a sterling record in this regard.

The story is definitely in the US’ favor geopolitically, though. Look up which countries have condemned China for human rights abuses in Xinjiang at the UN. I don’t think there are any Muslim-majority countries on that list. Compare it to the list of UN countries which have condemned the genocide of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar.
I canceled cable in 2009 and have been collecting media for 10+ years. It's grown into around 60TB and has become effectively my own personal streaming service that I share with my family and a handful of close friends.
MakeMKV. It's mainly geared towards Blu-rays but it does DVDs too. Basically you put in a disc and maybe select what tracks/audio options you want and it spits out an MKV.
> It's saying that you don't need price collusion or racketeering or mens rea of any sort to informally converge on a position.

It is saying that, but that's not a reply to the question.

The question wasn't "What is it?", as in, "What is this, if it's not collusion?"

The question was "What is?", as in, "What would it take to count as collusion, if this doesn't?"

"This isn't collusion, it's just the market" addresses the former question. It doesn't address the later question, the one that was asked.

With the implication that a super narrow definition of collusion is not very useful.
Well... Inheritance have some use, sure. But productive code is code that is easily refactrorable, uncomplicated and easy to read. Inheriting, or rather subclassing too much will kill you code base (i'm currenctly working in a bank, writing mostly java and groovy, i think everybody agree except managment).

A good alternative is composition, but you have to have a clear view of what you want. I alway try to make one function/method per action (when i have more then three indent level in a function, i'm prototyping), and that helps more than inheritance for code reuse (and i avoid comments inside functions). And i use a lot of interfaces and "default methods" to emulate "traits" which is imo superior to inheritance, in a lot of way.

I still dislike java and groovy, when you spend hours depiling constructs to understand how to make a minor change on data collection, this is not a good language.
Frankly I am amazed we don't already have remotely piloted vehicles.
> I could not disagree more. For much of human history, and most of American history, saving currency was exactly how you saved value.

For much of human history we pooped in the street and murdered each other with reckless abandon - then we found a better way. I'm not sure the rose colored glasses mean much here.

That may have been how we did things in the past, but there's no reason to couple a medium of exchange (short term) and a store of value (long term). There's really no justification for it, and the economy has been much better off for it. Stability has improved dramatically over a gold standard.

> The fact that putting money under your mattress is no longer a viable strategy is why we have massive and growing wealth inequality.

As I explained these are completely unrelated. You're conflating a social policy issue with a fiscal policy issue. There's no reason to believe that if inflation were 0% wages would not have remained exactly constant in notional dollars, and if there was deflationary currency they wouldn't have just gone down in notional dollars.

> It is horribly unrealistic to assume that every person can or should become financially savvy enough to make smart investments in the global economy, and it is naive to think that just buying some index is efficiently allocating capital.

> Wages have barely kept up with CPI [0], which is not true inflation (see my other comment on this thread).

Agree to disagree.

> While I don't agree with most of their economically illiterate proposed solutions (minimum wages, wealth taxes, etc.), the people clamoring about a living wage have a point these days.

Works all over the world, why not here?
I really miss "real buttons", meaning not just something tactile. Things like a power button that actually opens a circuit. Or a volume dial that doesn't lag because it's actually a potentiometer and not a rotary encoder. Too late for all that, I suppose.
One could argue that doing things on a county/city basis made way more sense, though. Most states locked down way too early, and in my state (Minnesota) it was especially ridiculous to lock down the rural areas at the time when we only had a few confirmed cases in the entire state and summer was close.

I hope if we see this again in our lifetimes governors will be more levelheaded.
I also have a 2017 Pacifica, and for the most part I don't mind the controls (the physical buttons are responsive enough that it doesn't bother me), but there are definitely a few functions (heated/cooled seats, mainly) that I wish I didn't have to dig through menus to find. Such a contrast from my 2009 Civic (albeit no heated/cooled seats on that vehicle).

They link to the CDC slide deck. Slide 14: https://www.fda.gov/media/150054/download

488 total reports from Pfizer-BioNTech, 301 reports from Moderna.

Slide 18 shows proportions. 12,169,692 doses administered. Expected number (base rate) of Myocarditis/pericarditis cases in persons under 25, 10 to 103. Cases observed: 277. So it roughly quadrupled the base rate. Which brings the adverse reaction rate up to... 0.000276%

This is only good advice for the most senior people or anyone who has unquestionable trust from their management/leadership.

Turns out if you're not one of those people, at review time nobody values this behaviour.

It's only "what did you deliver".

So yes, it's important to train, document, and delegate. It's valuable. You should do it.

But if you still have yet to earn trust or a reputation, and you want to actually exceed expectations and be known as the type of performer that gets things done, you have to lean in a little more into delivery and a little less into all the instructions on this page.
At the time of writing, Go was extremely overhyped on HN. I wanted to cool off the excitement a bit. These days everyone is aware of the points I made, but back then this was a refreshing take.

I had this after COVID in April last year right at the beginning. I suspect it is an immune reaction to the virus not the vaccine itself.
Here's an example. Suppose there are two buttons, A and B. If you press A for the nth time, then you get reward n. If you press B for the nth time, then you get reward 0 if n is not a power of 2, or reward omega (the first infinite ordinal number) if n is a power of 2.

If the above rewards are shoehorned into real numbers---for example, by replacing omega with 9999 or something---then an RL agent would misunderstand the environment and would eventually be misled into thinking that pressing A yields more average reward.
CyTube has performed well as a synchronized watch party. Though it was tricky to install and the UI was quirky.
It's a postmarketing surveillance system [1]. Not a controlled trial, so the true exposure vs. reported cases isn't known for these data from VAERS.

> "There were 283 observed cases of heart inflammation after the second vaccine dose in those aged 16 to 24 in the VAERS data. That compares with expectations of 10-to-102 cases for that age range based on U.S. population background incidence rates, the CDC said."

They use Observed vs. Expected cases in order to calculate e.g. a reporting odds ratio [2], which can loosely guide you in finding events which occur disproportionately.

> Because I think they service me better this way. I don’t want to have an ecosystem that allows malware to be an option.

You already have one. iOS exploits and vulnerabilities are cheaper than Android exploits because they're so plentiful. The App Store was responsible for shipping hundreds of millions of copies of Xcodeghost, as well.
In terms of legal liability, it would be a lot harder for Amjad Masad to prove damages from this post versus the webapp. Especially since Masad's emails are there in plain site. It's sad riju is offline, but at least there's a record that it happened. Putting ethics aside, I think this move reduces financial risk at least.

But this situation is terrible. I've seen multiple YC CEOs bring out the fancy lawyers that they got connected to through the incubator. In some cases, these were multi-million dollar arguments that really arose because the YC CEO screwed up (in very very basic ways!) and then the they got butthurt when things didn't go their way. And YC is connected with they very kinds of lawyers who are happy to make money off of bullying their way through "deals."

Why does YC keep funding CEOs who get their egos bruised so easily? If you're a CEO and you're using your legal leverage irresponsibly, just imagine what the company books must look like.
I agree with Dave on the pattern matching in function heads, at least from your description. Garrett Smith’s blog post on tiny functions[0] has heavily influence my Erlang.

That is a hypothesis but there isn't enough data yet to prove that is the definitive truth. We know it's rare, its above the expected mean, but could still be just statistical noise.

It would be irresponsible to report that as the headline because this is still a developing topic. What's important is that the FDA was watching it closely enough to detect the effect, and are following up on it.

Good job FDA. That's the kind of thing I want my taxes spent on.
I guess you are right. The OP said "buying" and I suppose in the trajectory my career has taken me the concept of buying code is foreign to me.

Not OP, but original author.

I’m not sure I would agree that poor naming is even the same category of problem as ignoring error return values.

Haskell/Rust provide much more robust error-return mechanisms that can’t simply be ignored or forgotten.

MakeMKV is the easiest route. On Linux I found it was way easier to just rip the disc with MakeMKV and watch the file than to get a Blu-ray to be read by VLC.
It's easy to deride middle management especially when they try to micromanage by requiring people to be in-office or via other forms of surveillance.

However measuring productivity / output is an really tough problem. If you're a manager, how do you tell if your team is spending 50% of the time slacking vs. working on a problem that is twice as difficult as everyone thought? Especially with software, estimation is notoriously inaccurate.

I think one of the only methods is competition. Was another company or team able to deliver the same feature with less resource expenditure?
They're not objectively better. They're more suited to what they want: a device with fewer features but more direct control.

Lots of people want a car with more features, and don't wish to control it directly. They would rather have a solid-state device that can't be repaired, but doesn't need to be. They don't want to upgrade it themselves; ideally, they don't want it to need upgrades until they buy another one.

But you've got it exactly right: many consumers want the car industry to go iPhone, for the same reason they want iPhones. That's neither objectively worse nor objectively better. The only objective thing is that a ton of consumers want it, because it suits their needs. And part of that is achieved by avoiding development by the kinds of techies who think that their preferences are objectively better.
So they do. I'm pretty sure they added that after I read it.
That's really awesome. Maybe someone will build custom EISA boards for old PCs, and EISA motherboards that accept 486 processors, for the retrocomputing market.
I was wondering this too.

Different countries have different invoicing requirements.

This may not be obvious for people from the US since invoicing there is super easy.
I love Jellyfin and the fact it exists is amazing, but I try it every three months or so and it feels like while there's amazing progress, it's still on the last 20% of work left before it's entirely painless. The web player would just not load subtitles every other video, and there's no native player (yet!) for my family's TV. From what I've gathered from Github, all problems I encountered are being worked on (I even tried to fork it and fix a thing myself but failed miserably), so hopefully in a year or so it'll be the Emby killer.
The “this feels good” part of the high typically lasts maybe 1-3 hours, after which you smoke more. The actual stimulant effect lasts much, much longer, maybe 12ish hours. That part very heavily depends on the dose size and quality, tolerance and your individual response to it.

Yes, it keeps you from sleeping. At my peak I didn’t really have much use for the concept of separate days since I was normally awake for ~72hrs at a time.
> "Modern cars are absolutely terrible in the UX department, but they are a hell of a lot safer, so there’s that."

tangentially, "safety" is highly cargo-culted. things that seem so obviously safer are taken without question as better, but in many cases, such features really only provide a false sense of security along with substantive unintended consequences.

most safety features in cars (e.g., lane-keeping) allow people to be less skilled and less attentive at driving, rather than lowering crash/injury/death rates. the better solution is to make people better and more attentive at driving through more rigorous training/testing, more thoughtful design, and importantly, culture, rather than just technology for its own sake.
(Well, it wasn't me, the comment I'm replying to now says 37 minutes ago. I did downvote your first comment just now, before seeing your self-reply. Sorry. I upvoted your second, to reimburse you.)

When I saw "I want to say" I stared at it for a minute..

I've been hearing it for a while from Yasser Seirawan (US grandmaster) doing chess commentary on major tournaments, on the St Louis chess youtube channel. He's a great storyteller and commentator, seems a wonderful guy, but a kind of walking verbal accident-waiting-to-happen. Like he seems incapable of pronouncing about 50% of names. He started saying "I want to say" frequently in the last couple of years. Lately one or two of his co-commentators starting saying it too. It seems to just mean "I think"—i.e. not "I think it was 1987" but "I wanna say it was 1987"—for no apparent reason except it's more words. (Maybe because no-one can say "You're wrong" to "I want to say"?) I really loathe it. Why tell me you want to say something, why not just say it?! Uh but it doesn't mean that apparently, it just means "I think". That was a perfectly good expression. "I want to say" makes me feel like going into a forest where I never have to hear humans speak again. (Related: I downvote any comment I see starting "Fun fact:"—that should be most strongly discouraged, I believe, being similarly barbarous.)

This is the first time I've seen it in print. I considered replying with a strong objection, imagined whether that could change the expression's course of popularity in English. Was considering favouriting or screenshotting it for further reference when I saw the comment I'm now replying to. Where does it "I want to say" (meaning "I think") come from?!

Apologies for long rant, but I felt I owed you an explanation! Maybe your other downvoter was also trying to nip "I want to say" in the bud on here, before it becomes another "literally" or "fun fact".
The now defunct Viewpoints Research org chased an idea similar to this. It was a meta language that was based around PEGs, intended to allow the easy creation of DSLs. I imagine the papers are still up somewhere. It was called OMeta.
I work in the automotive. I think that this is the trend. At the begin, smartphone projection was just calls, music and navigation. Now such systems are interested in signals coming from the car.. guess why!
I think that's exactly the point OP was making. They are saying that even in a situation like Manhattan where nobody had any idea that the land would one day be worth a fortune, the average annual percentage increase in land value has not actually been that high. Certainly if you picked some random plot of land that's not part of a huge city, the numbers would be even smaller.

They are alarming based on the measure of Observed vs. Expected cases.

Observed (O) cases in that age group: 283

Expected (E) cases in that age group: 10-102

So at least double the top of the confidence interval, for expected.

Crude rate seems to be observed cases per million doses administered.

So a lot more incidents than expected, but still extremely rare (0.002% of doses).

Edit: missed an extra "0" in that percent, thanks for the the catch everyone who did
May I ask why you think that? (Sincere question, not meant to be snarky). Even assuming electric car assembly is simpler than an ICE powered car, there are still a lot of large, heavy, and expensive components. And that's setting aside all the regulations around it being a "street legal" vehicle, which can place odd constraints and vary from location to location.

I could see there being ways to build your own, just as you could build your own house or laptop if you acquire the right parts. What makes you think that people will broadly want and use kits? (or am I misinterpreting what you're saying?)
Yeah. When I stumbled across this I had some conversations, with the net result that URLs containing authenticator tokens are no longer shortened :)
