It’s a relevant metric for car enthusiasts. But most people (overwhelmingly) are not car enthusiasts. Even Tesla owners are not car enthusiasts. They’re just stans for Elon and Tesla - they don’t care about any other cars. So, for them - acceleration isn’t actually important. It’s just bragging rights.

For most people out there, FSD is way more interesting than some insane 0-60 time. It’s impressive that Tesla has made this accessible in an everyday car (mind you, it requires a special drag strip to hit claimed numbers). But it’s not really that relevant or even interesting to 99% of consumers out there - the difference between 2.2s and 3.2s is very significant to an enthusiast but to most people (including stans) - it’s not relevant. They’re not going to be gunning it on freeway on ramps - that is quite clear from the number of Teslas I get behind within the Bay Area.

I like that Tesla is pushing the limits and getting EV adoption going but I see them selling snake oil and gimmicks as much as I see them selling a compelling EV car. They live for the gimmicks - without them there is very little reason the stans would be interested.

With respect to graves especially, they are an archeological treasure trove.

If in the far far future we develop a means of resurrecting the dead, the epitaphs on tombstones may be used to determine who deserves resurrection. But of course this is extremely fanciful speculation.

I don't really care about winning any global arguments. I see bad logic and I try to point it out. If you didn't like that some of your points were easily rebutted then you shouldn't have written them. Leaving them unchallenged makes your position seem artificially strong.

I couldn't resist bringing up the poker bankroll example because I think your in-game-poker example was poorly chosen. To me, it looked like you came up with a situation where the criterion obviously had no hope of being applicable and then used it to argue that the criterion is useless.
E.g. I could find a whole list of things for which calculus is not applicable, but that would not be a good argument for 'calculus is useless'.
The example I gave is at least closer to the assumptions of the Kelly Criterion.

I think the main thing I wanted to do was to correct the misconception that Kelly is only maximizing expected log utility, because it is a shame if someone (including other readers) thinks that the Kelly Criterion is just a fancy name we gave for the argmax of E f(S) where f happens to be the logarithm.

After all this, you (and other readers) might still conclude that the criterion is useless. But the set of justifications, and maybe the certainty, in that position, should change.
Same thing in vehicles. If you’re driving consistently at interstate speeds, you should be able to cool a cabin down below 72F while driving through 120F weather. Too many vehicles fail this, and frankly it’s repulsive for something you buy for 5-6 figures.

You're driving what is essentially a greenhouse, I don't want to pay extra for a cooling system that's designed for temperatures up to 150 degrees. Though also I wouldn't pay 6 figures for a car.
100 watts seems like a lot for a receiver. Any idea where all that energy is going? Signal amplification?

Considering all metrics going consistently up, can't it be concluded that they're not properly adjusted by inflation?

Also, apart from debt, none of them are broken down per generation. The author does acknowledge this but without additional data this is mostly an opinion piece with graphs.
One would have liked to examine the data behind the "growth in real income has been much larger" link, but unfortunately that links to an ad for a sort of small appliance called an "air fryer". As usual, examining GDP and income separately, as TFA does, is quite misleading. Enlightenment comes from viewing those together. [0]

I have a direct A/B experiment on this: I have one work laptop which is centrally managed by big-corp IT (I'm not the admin), and one laptop which is a project machine which I manage and admin.

Guess what? The big-corp IT managed computer which I only use to check email and edit Word docs is almost unusably slow, weighed down as it is with antivirus, surveillance software, centralized updates, etc. The project machine which I manage and have admin access to remains snappy despite its workload (Visual Studio) and older hardware.

Also, you gotta love the "cost savings" of let's outsource our IT, not let developers be admins on their own machine: now we have to buy secondary machines that developers ARE admin of, so they can get their work done.
It also has to send using a phased array as well.

That's why we millennials famously don't have to go to college to get union jobs that can support a family of four or more on a single income with guaranteed retirement.
The grill(e) does more than cool an internal-combustion engine. It also acts as a source of (relatively) cleean, cool air for ventilation and other purposes.

Electric cars also consume energy, and that energy consumption is not 100% efficient, so once more, cooling is required to dissipate much of that heat production due to inefficiency.

The grill(e) is here to stay. It may not be as prominent, but there will always need to be one.

It's pointless showing us ICE and electric versions of the same model car showing practically no difference in the grilles. That's because the economies of scale are not there yet, so it's easier to slightly change an existing mass-produced body-shape rather than produce a completely different body-shape for so few electric vehicles (relatively speaking).
It was from the Works Progress Administration so yeah but also practically everything else was also funded by us taxpayers back then. It was a kickstart project.
> If GDP is calculated correctly, it should correspond to mean income levels

That's equating Apples and Oranges. Gross domestic product is the total value of all the finished goods and services produced within a country and does not correlate to personal income.
Nothing belongs to anyone. It’s about what you can occupy and defend.

This article ponders why Semmelweis went insane. While it’s possible, likely perhaps, that medical issues were involved (injecting yourself with Syphilis is rarely a good idea), how would it feel to watch women, new mothers die every day before your eyes, while you know the solution, but the people around you refuse to believe you, and refuse to take action, basically out of pure pride and arrogance.

Imagine watching mother after mother die in front of you. Imagine knowing the solution. Imagine the people around you ignoring it. Surely that would be enough to drive any normal man insane, or to alcoholism, or some other escape from reality

Because these people are Rust partisans, who are hiding behind generalized language and confusing "About" pages to push their partisanship under the guise of benevolence, since shaming everyone who disagreed with them backfired.

They have more information on their website about how to give them money than they do about who they actually are. This makes it easier to route cash to rewrite-it-in-Rust efforts without having to defend these decisions.

How was your desk, screen and keyboard setup? A bad setup cause bad sitting posture too

I used to be picky about having a good chair. My back, legs, shoulder, and neck got sore. But now, try to improve the setup and it bother not much anymore. I just got a normal chair. Some issues I used to have and why:

- sore legs: I keep raising my legs or holding tension without me knowing it. The setup should keep your legs relax

- sore back: I didn't lean on the chair without me knowing it. Because screen might be a little far and I'm short-sighted. Naturely, I lean forward to see clearer

- sore shoulders: the table is too high or too low. I realized my shoulder needed to work all the time to keep my hands on the right position

- sore neck: screen angle is too high or low. I realized my neck also adjust naturely for the eyes to look at the screen. Set the screen at the right angle allow neck to relax more

Hope it helps

I was disappointed by the lack of RAIDZ2 resize when I built my ZFS fileserver, but it turns out that my data growth is slower than the growth in size of HDD's, so I just replace the drives every 4 or 5 years and copy the data over. Now drives are so big that I might just go with mirroring instead of RAIDZ2
Is a person on the spectrum or with aspergers or with asthma more worthy of immediate death alone on an island compared to a "typical" person?

You might have unexamined biases and assumptions about the nature of reality.

You might also be a little falling into the is/ought fallacy.

The decision you find easy, rational and ethical, is only so if you have one of a few particular views of human value and you hold it strongly/dogmatically and in your supreme surety have no scruples in executing that position on actual people.

Unexamined and implicit beliefs make life easier for normative people but they are not often intellectually rigorous.
Dr. Semmelweis Ignác Fülöp was Hungarian of German descent. It would have been "mossa kezét" (most likely using the formal third-person). Since he was not churlish, he would have approached such statements as a request, not an order.

On that point the article uses what is a far too prevalent action - redefining words to align with a particular position being advocated.
These workers have just obtained regulatory privilege that shields them from competition from other people who may want to apply for their positions, while allowing them to exploit MapBox's investors by suppressing their contracting rights in deciding who to hire.

Of course, ideological hocus pocus is needed to obfuscate the exploitive nature of regulation-entrenched unions, so you get statements like this:

>>Our operations are informed by an intersectional perspective on power and privilege.
It’s misleading because it’s not standard. When testing production road cars, it’s very common to test on standard road surfaces - not super glue.
Building cities of several million people in regions with no water? Growing cotton, cattle, and world renowned golf courses? Yeah, that’s pretty obviously broken.

I grew up in Arizona. You regularly hear people saying, “well, there’s no water left to build but hey, people keep buying so we’ll keep building!”

Cheap land and subsidized water paid to give to a bunch of ranchers who despise socialism. “Broken” is being generous.
In addition to what people have said about the temperature of surfaces in direct sunlight, you have to account for the power the electronics are using. The aluminum backplate is serving multiple purposes, but judging by the gap pad they are using and RF electronics in general, it's likely a non-trivial amount of power.
I bought one used off of ebay for my home office. It was pricey for a used chair but worth it. Now I want a 2nd one for my gaming PC.
The central thesis of this article that is stated ad-nausium is that “Look! Millennials have a higher standard of living, they must have it easier.” This is no different than when some talking heads on Fox News tried to belittle Gen X’s financial hardships by citing the fact that almost all homes now have refrigerators. If you define worse and better in ways that people don’t actually mean then of course your thesis is proved and you get a snappy title.

Higher consumption doesn’t mean higher disposable income, it means higher consumption. I consume a lot more and have more “disposable income” because I cannot afford things like children, a house, a nice car, that would make my income non-disposable.

You will realize the gains that older people have now when you’re older is a huge maybe.

The author is taking the wrong thing away from Bulmol’s Cost Disease. The split between goods becoming much much cheaper and services much much more expensive (remember that increased consumption thing? I can afford very nice acrylic nails but not the labor for someone else to install them) is that when you need services the bill hits like a truck and cost of living tracks mostly goods not services.

Houses being bigger is meaningless when the location is what you’re paying for. If you don’t have the choice to pay less for less it doesn’t make any difference that you’re now “getting more.”
That's a lot of words to avoid acknowledging it now takes many more hours of labor to gain/achieve the same things.
Meanwhile inflation rises to make up for tax cuts for the wealthy as the inequality between the rich and mortals widens.
But I'm sure there are plenty of ways you can angle statistics to support any POV, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
tl;dr: when you leave a company, you generally have a 90 day expiry on your options. If you exercise, in some jurisdictions (like the US), you also have a tax burden.

Here are Internet Archive scans of some of the books produced by the Federal Writers’ Project described in the article:

From page 178 of the New Orleans book:

“Parades may be viewed from the street, balconies, windows of homes and business houses, or from specially constructed tiers a story or so high. Each view has its advantage, but to mingle with the joyous crowd of the street is to feel the real spirit of the Carnival. Many await the parade on St. Charles and Canal Streets, for it is on these streets that the kings meet their queens: Momus and Comus at the Louisiana Club, 636 Gravier Street; Hermes at the City Hall, 543 St. Charles Street; Proteus at the Boston Club, 824 Canal Street. Although the varicolored lights of Canal Street give the parade a certain splendor, St. Charles Avenue is the better place to see a night parade. The avenue, with its beautiful homes and wide neutral ground, is not so highly lighted as Canal, and stars overhead wink back to the twinkling lights. Red-robed Negroes carry gasoline torches, calcium burners, and star-sparkling flares.

“Soon after noon, when there is a night parade, ‘pop’ stands, hot dog counters, peanut wagons, cotton candy sheds, and souvenir boards sprout up along the streets like mushrooms after a spring rain. Cars, whose tops will be used as reviewing stands, are parked on the side streets near St. Charles Avenue. At five o’clock spectators begin to appear, and the crowd thickens so fast that one must walk in the streets. On the night of the parade all traffic along the way is rerouted to prevent interference. Children form human chains to whip through the crowd, and there is much laughter and noise.”

"Sufficient Reliability" still needs mechanisms to resolve the rare issues that occur. A 5 9's system still needs resolutions for the 0.001% scenarios. In the case of your phone's alarm if your phone crashes, runs out of battery, app cache gets corrupted, whatever-- you can intervene with your human judgement to determine an appropriate resolution. What mechanism do smart contracts have for 0.001%?

Your phone's alarm is also not a critical transaction worth a person's life savings or the wealth of a country or a transaction involving life-critical supplies etc. The bar is a bit higher here, and even the most reliable systems ever designed have the ability to insert human judgement when the rare issue happens. Smart contracts are supposed to be appealing because they avoid the need for biased/imperfect judgement in favor of something "trustless", or at least that's the vision many see for them.

Contracts can also have hundreds or thousands of clauses, making "sufficient reliability" a much higher bar than an alarm clock. Especially because many of those clauses entail human concepts that would be extremely difficult to translate into code: What is the algorithm for determining "force majeur"? That's a pretty basic clause that appears in many contracts, but I don't know where you'd even begin to get a computer to understand & properly identify such events.

I don't see a pathway to sufficient reliability in smart contracts anywhere on the horizon, save for very simple cases. Even then, here we have IRON, which should have been relatively simple as these things go, but failed because the simple case of "Titan has no value" was not considered.
The page literally includes the words "Using C and C++ is bad for society, bad for your reputation, and it's bad for your customers." This is not a good hill to die on.
It ridiculous to try to make the comparisons the article does, when you look at real purchasing power instead of trying to fake these numbers. You are completely right, no one could dream of owning a house and supporting a family of four with no college degree today, yet that happened up until around the early 90's. It wasn't unheard for someone to be completely unskilled and get a good paying union job and learn the skills on the job.
Wouldn't that go on top of the truck, rather than in the truck?
You’ll never be able to avoid the monetary incentives anymore outside of using a testnet. Ethereum testnets have real Dapps on them that you can use. You can also use layer 2 networks on top of Ethereum to avoid high transaction costs.
We're only a week into the official batch, which has been packed full of bootcamp classes on sales, marketing, analytics, product development, and fundraising, but the additional resources have been incredible. Various deals with former YC companies and other major service providers have already saved us a lot of money, and access to Work at a Startup helped us scale up our team very quickly. We're excited to see what else we'll learn over the next couple months with our group partners and our fellow founders.

In terms of future roadmap, we're looking at:

- Layer 2 contracts and additional wallet providers' balance synchronization

- A custodial wallet providing best execution on any exchange

- Automatic rebalancing, yield optimization, and tax-loss harvesting under an investment adviser license and money transmitter licenses

- Smart contract marketplaces and fiduciary, discretionary execution

NASA systems appear to have the property that they are both perfectly designed when HN commenters do not understand the code and amateurishly designed when they have errors.

This bathtub style curve for perception of NASA design by HN commenters makes me question if the perception correlates with reality.
Yeah, and their typical failure mode, yellowing around the edges, still looked better than a lot of other vehicles from its era.

I don't like their handling of it from a warranty perspective, but I'm also not sure that their initial decision was actually the wrong one.
Ahhh yes, let’s cherry-pick an example of a small slice of American back in the 50’s and assume that’s how everyone’s life was up until Millennials came around.

Those jobs disappeared 40+ years ago and regardless they weren’t available to everyone.
I don't know, so this is a genuine question, but is that a safety-critical part in that case? If it's not it's still not ideal, you want to make sure that your parts will happily survive the car's environment, but it's not as bad.

This. I would add that role titles also exist for negotiation purposes. For example, a new employee may prefer to be called "research engineer" instead of "ML DevOps" to open up future career opportunities, even if the work done is the same.
I agree, it wasn't arrogance.

Deliberately going forward with something in spite of knowing for certain that it's not fit for purpose is called engineering malfeasance, not arrogance.
From my perspective, I see a project that took years of prep. Multiple papers were written. It was tested on software sim, and NASA's physical space simulator[1]. And it finally _successfully_ flew on mars, with some minor bugs.

In my opinion assuming they were "testing in production" (production being mars!), or writing code that "definitely not have passed code review", or that they did not do couple of hours of flight testing on earth, is an unnecessarily unkind assessment of this project.
