> I think our economy is so rich and efficient now, that scenario could actually exist, but everyone is still duped by the workaday culture infinitely persisting the 40 hour work week idea.

Not sure we're duped by the 40 hr / week idea so much as we're slaves to our desire for consumer goods. That and housing is very expensive now which means more work to pay for it.
Question to anyone more knowledgeable than I am in fiscal or business matters: why did Panasonic invest in a large client? Wasn't it risky? If 2020 had not been kind to Tesla, Panasonic would've been hit twice.
>In survey after survey, beautiful people are described as trustworthy, competent, friendly, likable and intelligent, while ugly people get the opposite labels.

Does this actually provide value without being contrasted to "objective" measures? Are attractive people actually more intelligent, friendly or trustworthy? If they are, this sounds more like a useful heuristic rather than an unfair stereotype. I know I can find this research myself, but it seems weird to not even make reference to any objective measures in this context.

One ‘Bad Apple’ Can Spoil a Metaphor
Because there are more factors beyond the long-standing ideological project to spread the doctrine of NATO (hiding behind terms like "democracy" and "human rights") around the world.

For instance, the US has an enormous mutual economic interest with PRC, and recognizing ROC's claim to virtually all of mainland China (the PRC) would be enormously complicate that crucial material relationship. ROC and PRC are mutually exclusive concepts because they claim the same territory, and PRC is the far more valuable economic partner.
We're almost to one complete star system! Crusader and Orison look pretty great: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZDrCUwHclg

Along with that in 3.14, new power management and missile stuff that will hopefully make multi-person ships effective compared to each person in their own ship.

I'd like to think this lets them finally settle on a flight model and figure out combat balance, but not optimistic because the planned ship armor/damage system isn't in yet. I'll continue to fire it up for a couple of hours every patch to go sightseeing, but it's a ways off of gameplay that I'd want to sink real time into.

All that said, you can get in for $45, and I've paid more than that for worse games. I'm looking forward to my next sightseeing trip to the volumetric clouds of Crusader.
Yeah, it's hard for me to whole-heartedly criticize the slogan when the people who have made it stick have thought about this issue (and the way to promote it) a lot harder than I have. It's certainly been effective in spreading the idea!

> I’ve never been given a cancer diagnosis, but I’d imagine it’s much, much worse to be told you have stage 4 cancer versus stage 1.

It's bad all the way.

> If you are one of the people with a false positive, you schedule a follow-up and move on accordingly.

People already do schedule follow-ups and additional tests and second opinions when they get a positive.

> Your position is anti-progress just for the sake of being against accidentally scaring a few people.

No, it is cautiously ethical because:

1. You probably shouldn't tell sub-1.5 million people who don't have cancer that they have cancer

2. There are more false positives than you think, if you are suggesting regular blood tests
That is very interesting. I assumed that false positives is generally a testing error (testing with another method or from another company would not lead to the same result). If the false positive is a result of a non-dangerous anomaly of the person being tested, then, I see how testing without symptoms can be worse.
That’s incredibly disrespectful. With that approach, I would be shocked if anyone would want to contribute to your project again after such behavior.
Buried beneath the sensational headline is the fact that Panasonic has been slowly divesting over the past year. They did not just "dump" the stock today, they simply reported that they had finished selling all their shares today.
You can route through your pair. Say A has a channel with B, B has a channel with C and C has a channel with D, you can make payment between A and D provided that B and C are online. In a way that nobody can steal money from one another, and neither B not D know who is paying who.
In practice, B and C would probably be like banks or exchanges, with many channels, while normal users only need one channel open.
> At large, I also think that this means some things can't be codified. Such that some activities are highly dependent on expected duties of the employee.

I'm pretty sure you mean "some things shouldn't be codified". I'm not trying simply to nitpick; I think using the word "should" signals very clearly that you are making a value judgment, not a judgment of what is possible.

Here's how I'm interpreting your words: "There are many employee behaviors that employers want to promote that are too nuanced or complex to codify". I have a lot of concerns with such a statement:

1. I've seen a lot of people make such a statement because they are unwilling and/or unable to design policies. Some people want perfection, and the messiness and complexity of the real world bothers them. Instead of embracing and managing this uncertainty, they retreat to the false dichotomy of "if we can't do it perfectly, we shouldn't try it at all".

2. I find the statement implies the wrong goal. The goal isn't perfection; rather, the goal is to make policies that *improve* relative to *the next best alternative*.

To design policies and assess performance toward such goals, I like to use a combination of systems thinking, probabilistic reasoning, and realistic models of human behavior.

This also depends on your role. If you have a leadership role, you will likely see that not designing and advocating for policies is an abdication of your responsibilities. In short, no matter how imperfect, you have to make a decision. To quote a movie title, you can't be neutral on a moving train.
I miss office cubes. Last 2 jobs where in an open office. Also while I haven't disliked my bosses, the last 3 I've been seated less than 15 feet from them. Covid work from home was a pretty nice break, and we're going hybrid from now on.

I don't use Twitter, but that doesn't sound like the usual use case. If the device you're using is trusted, why log out? If it isn't trusted, why enter your credentials at all?
I completely agree. I used to make games back in the GWBASIC and DJGPP/Allegro age. I tried to retake that passion a couple of months ago and boy the complexity of Unity or all other gaming frameworks today amazed me.
So I guess “stocks like Tesla” are really just tulip petals? What are people paying for?
Why would it be a conflict of interest or some vague ethical concern, instead of just expecting the TSLA valuation to drop as they expand their client list?
Without climate crisis and emission scandal emobility still wouldn't be an issue.
No reason it can't be both. Obviously Elon memes helped a lot, but they are making very real and significant progress.
> As a consumer, I can't say I care.

As a consumer who would if possible prefer not to support companies who take what they want, however they want, for their commercial gain and to hell with the wishes (and legal stance) of the creators that says they shouldn't, I gather my priorities differ from yours.

Of course if those features truly are must haves for your work/life (and they aren't all available in one product elsewhere which I don't think they are), or you simply didn't know about these matters before purchasing, then the equation is quite different. If you have no practical other choice then you have no practical choice.

I don't need the featureset enough to ignore my objection to their behaviour with respect to the kernel's licence (and possibly the licences of other components their devices use). Until a competitor offers the same/better or they change their tune, I can live without.

Even if a company can't fire you immediately, they can certainly revoke your access and remove all of your responsibilities while they process your termination.
My biggest mistake... is not a technical mistake. It's a mistake about the career in its entirety :)
The story is that I spent all my university years (and a couple of years after that, working in the IT industry) thinking that what I really wanted to do was being an CS academic. For a few personal reasons, I really inflated the idea. Then, finally, moved countries to start a PhD in one of the best universities in the UK, and... quit after not even 6 months.
The mistake: idealising the academic lifestyle. I thought that being an academic was the only way to really work on something you love, being free to do it when and where you wanted, engaging with brilliant people. It turns out that two things are true: that you can find these things in many other professions; and that... often the reality is you won't find these in academia (of course, there are great exceptions). Moreover, a PhD – especially in the UK, and especially in computer science – is an really, really narrow endeavour. I wanted breadth on the side of depth, and a PhD (nor 90% of academic research) would ever be like that. I had entirely idealised a profession without looking at the reality of what it's like, and the reality wasn't a good match for what I wanted. It's taken me about 10 years to process and be happy with it, though :-)
I don't disagree with you, but the common retort I hear to this sentiment is that "they aren't a car company, they are a battery/energy storage company that currently sells cars".

What are your thoughts on that sentiment? Just curious to hear from rational investors on that specific item.
There is a famous, possibly apocryphal story of Hutton coming at the end of a beach upon a cliff face with, above eye level, thousands of layers of sedimentary strata, with a thin layer of gravel at eye level, and then to left and right thousands more layers arrayed vertically. When he grasped how much time it would have taken to lay down the bottom layers, tip them up and over 90 degrees, and then erode them down to the gravel layer, and finally lay the hundreds more strata on top, his legs went out under him and he plopped onto the beach.

Among other things, I had a year of technical drafting in high school. I also had a year of photography (including film development, printing, etc.). My first two jobs out of high school were: Customer service at a professional photo laboratory and then technical drafting at a film studio. I have zero debt from college.

Nobody leaving high school is going to make money sipping wine while discussing the finer details of Roman history. Sorry to take such a harsh line on this. Culture and context is VERY important, of course. We just don't need 12+ years of it.

The first 12+ years of school is our "young-adult factory". We get one shot (over 12+ years) to produce young adults with a solid future. We do not do a good job of this. We waste a good deal of that time with pursuits that will not deliver measurably significant improvement to the rest of their lives. That's a crime. In this context 2020 was a rounding error.

This paper which was published in May 2020 established that the IFR of Covid was in the 0.05% range for people under 70, lower for those without comorbidities. It was peer reviewed and published by the WHO in October 2020. There is no excuse for how long it has taken people to come to a more accurate assessment of the risks of Covid -- and public opinion polling shows the public is still grossly overestimating that risk.

Dumping is half of pump and dump. Which if you do it right is making a profit. (I don't think this trade is pump and dump, just arguing usage with a commonly used term)
The timeline seems way too short for a lot of usecases to be honest.

For young projects, where it's kind of expected (trade-off of being an early adopter), or for small projects (which can be easily maintained by a third party), it's acceptable.

But for bigger/core projects this is far more problematic.

Just for comparisons, a lot of Linux distributions will maintain a specific version for ~5 years if not more (Debian, RedHat), and if for smaller components, they can do things like backport patches, or even create the patches themselves, however, for larger ones, they are reliant on upstream providing stable and maintained versions for the life of a specific version of the distribution.

Also, I've seen quite a lot of large and complex projects taking several years to reach production. In these contexts, having to constantly rework components (and re-test them, both individually and as part of the overall system) is not really feasible.

There is no ideal solution, maintaining backward compatibility is costly, and can lead to messy code bases, and it's legitimate to want to avoid that by deprecating API/functionalities. However, downstream (distribution, users of a given library) needs stability and generally cannot afford to rework their solution every 3 months (keep in mind that downstream generally relies on many upstream components, if a lot of these components break at the same time, even in minor ways, this can result in a huge headaches).

IMHO, a more desirable compatibility period, at least for big/core components, would be around 5 years.
Just look at Norway and the Netherlands which seem to have a 2-3 year lead on EV adoption. Volkswagen brands have already surpassed Tesla sales there. Tesla makes a terrific product and they single handedly provoked that change we are seeing now. However, the German and Korean brands make great cars too. Given the choice I would trade good build quality, some more physical buttons and a quiet cabin at highway speeds for Teslas ride and futuristic infotainment on most days.
Amazon's proven a much better steward than Facebook, though. Twitch seems pretty independent other than some Prime perks, Eero doesn't seem to have changed much, I'm pretty sure they forgot that they even bought IMDB and DPReview, etc.

> All citizens of Canada live immensely higher standards of living than they would otherwise under the Colonial umbrella - including aboriginals.

I mean, that was a typical argument in favour of slavery. After the apartheid ended in South Africa there was a pretty large movement of former slaves protesting about their lower quality of life and demanding a return to the previous status quo. We don't only consider standard of living when making moral judgements about structures of government.

It is the standard paternalistic European attitude. And the last vestige of justification remaining for residential schools so I'm not so quick to just let it slip. It's the analogy to a parent soothingly telling a child in tantrum: "You'll understand why I'm doing this when you're older". As if they should thank us for raising them out of their savagery.

I also reject your comparison to immigrants, like Syrians literally running for their lives from a civil war in their country of origin, to aboriginals who were living within their own land of origin and had this life thrust on them unrequested. The circumstances couldn't be any different. Immigrants make a choice of self-determination while aboriginals are being deprived of self-determination.

> The political situation on many reserves is more of a hindrance than not and will require reform, which will probably take the shape of falling more under the Canadian legal norms

On this we agree and it fits into the complexity of the situation. One area that most Canadians would find hard to stomach is that some traditional tribe hierarchies are patriarchal. It is a difficult balance to allow self-determination while also upholding concepts like universal human rights.

We've gone a bit deep here and I admit I'm pretty far out of my depth. In fact, the only real thing I'm confident on is that this issue is too complex to fix with money alone.
lol - I don't grow (obviously) but I know people who do (legally). They don't use LEDs, but I did use LED lights to grow some indoor veggies. From what I read (again I'm no expert) the low end LED stuff just doesn't cut it. Maybe there's a high-end LED market I'm unware of?

If you could design an algorithm for your wardriver gear, you might be able to detect when growers switch from 18/4 to 12/12 hour light cycles.

> in professions that ostensibly have nothing to do with attractiveness

I can't access the article, but I think attractiveness can be a factor in many jobs. People are called "ugly" because they create a negative emotion when you look at them. Having to be around people like that is objectively a bit worse than being around regular/attractive people. It's a bit like talking to someone who's always a bit abrasive vs someone who's always a bit kind.

I do agree that compared to other forms of discrimination, there are no legal protections for these people and that maybe that should change.
comps are very simplistic way to value companies. in this case, your comparing apples to oranges. for starters, tesla is highly vertically integrated. so it doesn't really make sense. you would need to comp tesla to the auto supply chain. they make their own seats, speakers, driving assist programs, glass, they stamp their own metal, paint their own cars. They have their own chargers, service centers and do all their sales directly without a dealership network. All the companies you have listed outsource these tasks. Furthermore, they have an energy business, auto insurance, etc.

dcf models are the best way to think about valuing a company.

It's a weird one.

Events should auction off a percentage of tickets, and reserve a percentage "for fans" -- and all fixed to a name & photo id.

One has to suspect that many events are in-cahoots with scalpers, and are just pricing their tickets below the market for PR reasons.

If it's "pretty benign" to save a user's email before they click submit, then it wouldn't be a big deal to inform the user that you just saved their email instead of trying to silently hide the fact.
