I don't understand this claim that left-leaning media is biased against Assagne. Pretty much all the left and center-left outlets I know say he should not be prosecuted:

Vox: https://www.vox.com/platform/amp/policy-and-politics/2019/4/...

The New Yorker: https://www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/the-indictment...

Washington Post: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/traditional-j...

The Atlantic: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/04/julian-ass...

NYT: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/11/opinion/julian-assange-wi...

Where is this impression that "the media wants Assagne in jail" coming from? It doesn't seem supported by any evidence beyond people disliking other people's tweets.
Furthermore... the HFT market participants are not using CPU-intensive calculations to win consistently. They are using simple calculations(eg 6-period SMA) and extremely low latency to win. They are competing with other HFT participants to get their order on the inside bid/ask before everyone else.

I'll tell you what!

You make an embedded Linux device with a read only partition based on a hardware switch. You figure out all the bugs that are caused by software not being able to write temporary files to disk. You figure out how to do configuration management on a separate system with something more complicated than a ten line YAML file.

Want to change your password? That's /etc/shadow -- did you some how rig that up to be writeable, while the rest of /etc was not? Also, since I presume your management decided to not let the users have root, because of course they did... You'll need to resort to software tricks to make sure the user can't change the root password.

Oh, and remember. No software read only tricks. Hardware switch.

Please let me know when you finish, I'll help audit your system.

Last edit: To all the reply guys, yes. I know it's possible. My statement is it isn't easy, and there are many challenges. (Especially compared with the simplicity of a power cut switch to a webcam.)

I can make you a microcontroller with a firmware update switch that blinks a light. By the time you scale that up to a full fledged embedded Linux system with a board designed in house, with weird hardware that is keeping you back on Linux 3.16 because nobody knows how to port your drivers, with cryptographically signed updates, fault tolerant firmware slots, and a nasty stack of software developed by web devs that can't fathom why they can't write to disk, that has to interoperate with legacy hardware and systems, that has a management bureaucracy that can't understand why it's taking so long to implement the new media server plugin, and devices in the field aren't getting automatic updates...

No. No it's not easy. Part way through, management will kill the project, you'll end up with a switch that's read in software, and eventually wind up on the front of HN as someone who did security wrong.

But by all means, take your "easy" idea to WD and tell them you'll have it working on their devices by Q1 2022.
It's not as doom and gloom as you think. I've worked a few companies that colocated at a datacenters, bought some refurbished hardware slapped Xen and Proxmox on it and grew their business to $50mil ARR. It's much much cheaper than you think and avoiding large AWS bills was the primary motivation for doing it.

The budget for one company I worked at's infra -- 4 full racks in two datacenters with power, network, and a dedicated site-to-site between them was $200k over five years plus $3k/mo ongoing costs. The upfront cost was tiny tiny -- they started with a router, two switches and 4 used supermicro blades. That lasted them the first 4 years of their startup. It took two FTEs to manage the full infra and provide a PaaS style thing to the developers.
For what it's worth IBM has transitioned to OpenShift and it is a very successful product line. I think there are a lot of problems with marrying OpenShift with IBM's other products but OpenShift on IBM Cloud is pretty good.
> Can you give an example?

Considering just the educational side:

For policies that have already been put in place, the 2016 revision (partially undone by the 2019 revision) of the Borrower Defense rules are an example.

For not-yet-implemented rules that have been proposed, rules imposing total cost limits on programs accepting federal loans, or imposing other cost and quality requirements on such programs, are common. As are simpler reforms like making income contingent plans the default repayment plan, and other rules governing direct loan servicing (an issue with the student debt crisis haa been servicers active directing borrowers into deferment rather than income contingent plans.)

Nobody is perfect, and it isn't hypocritical to be imperfect.
I'm not sure how you got this conclusion, it seems like the exact opposite of what they're saying.

Placing animals in buckets of "useful" and "useless" is not empathy; that's back to the point of treating them like tools or exploitable resources.

Love and empathy is not intended to be conditional on what value you can reap from it. At best that's a business relationship, and at worst it's something very dark.
You’re saying basically 17k to 2k??
I used the word "everyone" rhetorically, of course. The point is, to a first (and second) approximation everybody uses email and nobody uses RSS.
Ah yes, the registered dietitian, the pinnacle of scientific and deductive capacity, renowned for their field’s history of uniformly correct recommendations.
No idea where I picked it up. Looking back at old email I can see that I've been doing it since at least 2004. I'd guess longer but I didn't do a good job logging old forum posts, BBS messages, etc.

What do you think about cooperative hunting between humans and dogs? Not the same as modern domestication, but some have theorized dogs may have domesticated themselves by eating scraps and/or leaving scraps progressing into sharing, hunting and training with humans. These relationships could have slowly progressed to human ownership of dogs. If we gloss over the hunting ethics, where would you draw the line for when this ethical cooperation between unequal partners turns unethical? Or do you reject the premise?

That movie is biased propaganda advocating a particular diet, not a proper scientific study. You can certainly cherry pick a few elite athletes who perform well on vegan diets, but the vast majority of elite athletes are omnivores. Ever some of the movie subjects ate certain animal products such as eggs.

If you search around a bit you'll also find numerous anecdotal reports from elite athletes who tried vegan diets and found that they seemed to have more difficulty recovering from injuries. There seem to be some subtle nutritional deficiencies which aren't fully captured in the USRDA. This issue is difficult to study in a rigorous, controlled way due to individual differences so we'll probably never get conclusive data one way or the other.
Imagine the religious imagery if, instead of burning to death or suffocating in the ash, volcano eruption victims developed acute radiation sickness and stumbled into nearby villages puking their guts out and melting from the inside out.
> The first step of the trial was for charges to be filed

No, that's neither the first step of the process (even the formal legal process) nor any step of the trial.
Its because they renewed the model and they can't produce anywhere close to that many of the new ones. The 2340 are basically all S, X is not being produced.

I will like not go up to peak, but it will be much higher then it is now.
I agree with everything you say.

What I’m saying is different though. I’m arguing that even if COVID had a 0 death rate but the same hospitalization rate and severity, we’d still be vaccinating everyone. Because we decided to protect our health care system.
That the dog was doing what a dog is instinctually likely to do, depending on their temperament. This would be a failing of human training, because human training is intended to replace some instincts with learned behaviors, since dogs have such a 'people pleasing' mindset when trained with compassion and positive reinforcement.

I'm not sure what your point was. Their dog doesn't share their ethics, nor should they be expected to. I would not expect a dog to 'de-escalate' a situation with another very angry dog, despite expecting humans to try and do that when faced with another very angry human.
I wonder when (or if?) we'll see scale result in lower pricing. The M3 was originally meant to be Tesla's "affordable" vehicle, but it currently costs $42K base ($39,990 + $1,200 dest. & doc) with no tax incentives at all.

That isn't affordable, that is lower end luxury. A plug-in Prius Prime starts at $29,215 (inc. dest. & doc) but has $4,502 in federal tax incentives.

Also, if I have $42K to spend on an electric vehicle why wouldn't I buy a Ford Lightning instead of a sedan? The Lightning isn't even more expensive in its class of vehicles (short-bed trucks), whereas the Tesla Model 3 is $15K more than its class (mid-size sedans).
I think you are projecting something negative to my comment.
I was simply analyzing the situation. Billion in revenue/car is going away. Tesla should easily survive by diluting stocks.

If you think in numbers, it's clear that current valuation of Tesla is not coming from selling cars unless Tesla takes 40% of the car market in next 10-15 years.

You need to add Tesla is an energy company or something else into the mix.
Tesla actually halted production of the S/X for most of the first half of 2021 as they retool for the Plaid Model S/X.
Event Sourcing Tutorial in Ruby
Not particularly surprising given that Model S production was shut down for almost all of H1 to switch over to the refresh.

I’ve already done it, and it’s not that hard. Others have done more. It’s the best way to avoid SD card or flash write wear. My production devices default to read-only mode and must have a dip switch toggled before any changes persist beyond the shadow ram-resident overlay that resets at power cycle.

(Aside: As for my idea of a configuration system, I’ve developed entire [incremental!] build systems that take a kernel source tree and configuration files and generate fully boot-ready images with drivers, packages, and even GUI support down to specifying the themes and customizing panel layouts, and more via a fully declarative syntax. The images have been booted on commodity hardware not under our control spanning some twenty-plus years of technology on more than a 100k machines. This is HN: not everyone is merely an armchair expert in whatever the topic of discussion is for today. It can be beneficial to assume expertise is out there and seek it rather than deny things are possible.)
Agreed, except that we're starting to see people put "influencer" as their job title. I see this especially on TV shows now. So while they might be creators, or might just be wannabe celebrities, they're self-identifying as "influencers".
The big OEMs are aiming at 2035 to stop ICE production. So I think it is just a question of time by now.
If a company pays your startup costs, they are your only "client", they control how much your staff get paid, when they work, and where they work you do not own a business you are an employee with extra steps. Steps that only benefit Amazon.

This is bizarre, I can get that people get accidentality stuck in these situations, but willingly staying there is just straight up dumb.

Cancel the order, go the store, get a new fridge. It's honestly not that difficult.
The rejection of meta-narratives is the underlying theme of postmodernism, and is common throughout it.

I would suggest you dig deeper into these concepts, as you seem to have basic misunderstandings about what they mean.

And there's nothing wrong with safe spaces. You're not owed "logical discourse" on your terms. People sometimes just want to occasionally not be bothered by every bro who thinks that because they've watched a lot of Jordan Peterson videos that they're suddenly on the pinnacle of philosophical thought. It's tiring in a way orthogonal to the validity of any points being made. Additionally safe spaces aren't typically where instruction is held, and, despite the propaganda, not an effective way to avoid topics completely by design.
Pretty obvious, isn’t it? Doesn’t it kind of go without saying that we should progress as a society beyond high water marks set over 50 years ago?

Heck, I’ll do one better. Why not pick 1890?

“Workers should be paid less today than in 1969” is a sort of crazy thing to say out loud, but here we are.
Containerizing IBM's software and forcing it all on OpenShift is such a weird move to me. When you force your customers to become Kubernetes admins when all they really want is some other solution I think you have a drastically smaller target.

I think a lot of Red Hatters are tired of having the IBM sales force show up in their OpenShift accounts asking about upgrading them to Cloud Paks.
You can use an overlay filesystem to do this or do like CoreOS or ChromeOS and have a read only root with necessary symlinks to a writable directory. Systemd also has helpers for this.
Prius Prime is THE vehicle for people who care more about the environment than electric luxury, which Tesla serves.

For starters.

How about this? "Gates opposed waiving some provisions of the World Trade Organization’s Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, or TRIPS. A waiver would allow member nations to stop enforcing a set of COVID-19-related patents for the duration of the pandemic so that low- and middle-income countries can produce or import generic versions of vaccines.

Gates met with U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai last week to make the case for protecting these patents..."

He would rather poor people die than let IP rules be weakened, even for a a little while.

The reason you don't hear about it is because he is one of the wealthiest men in the world and he has a lot of power/influence. All that money buys really good PR.

I mean the guy strengthened his friendship with Jeffry Epstein AFTER he was released from jail for being convicted of procuring a child for prostitution.
This is a perfect example of why our current media feels so exhausting. There's so many conflicting viewpoints and studies that all seem reasonable.
I thought that was a solved problem w/ "unionfs" or such. Lots of Linux-based devices boot from read-only media.
They just couldn't produce enough due the the revamp and some missing parts. And the once they produced couldn't all be delivered in time before end of Q.*

The X production line was off for the full quarter, and the S has just restarted.

Try ordering an S/X and see the delivery ETA!
They stopped building the Model S&X for several months to cutover to refresh (Plaid et al). So that's 2340 cars sold in a 3 week period.

In addition, dinosaur feathers that have been discovered have been in fossils where it's obviously still part of the animal, or preserved in amber where feathers were unexpected and it raised questions.

Who's been looking for neanderthal fur at any scale? It could be hiding in plain sight. AFAIK, geologists and archeologists don't try to run DNA tests on every bit of biological matter they come across. Humans are known tool users and clothing (and fur) wearers. If someone found fur near a hominid and it wasn't on their head, would anyone be jumping to this conclusion?

Surprisingly, there's never been an HN thread about this (as far as I can tell).

From the Wired link: "Today, the study in Poppe's Berlin apartment is lined floor to 12-foot ceiling with bookshelves full of volumes on art, literature, and political science. But one shelf, just to the left of her desk, is special. It holds a pair of 3-inch-thick black binders — copies of the most important documents in Poppe's secret police files. This is her Stasi shelf."
I'm not a fan of CRT, but you're 100% right.

The issue with CRT is that every other theory and research of this subject (eg. IQ differences) has been shut down or obscured due to allegations of racism or fear of how society would react to such knowledge. And that poses a problem. You can't even propose any alternative theory in the current climate.

Second, the same criticism applies to CRT. There is a double standard. For the sake of simplicity, let's see what Wikipedia has to say about it under the "Academic Criticism" section: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_race_theory#Academic

> Farber and Sherry additionally posit that the anti-meritocratic tenets in critical race theory, critical feminism, and critical legal studies may unintentionally lead to antisemitic and anti-Asian implications.

I don't think I have to explain to anyone why this theory would have any antisemitic or anti-Asian implications, everyone has to know it on some level. You might not necessarily agree with it, but you should know why. But the most interesting and telling thing about everything surrounding the CRT is what this criticism doesn't say. Nowhere does it even mention anti-White implications. Imagine reading something explicitly focused on the overrepresantation of Jewish people in positions of power and saying "wow, this could hurt some innocent Europeans".

I agree that the divisions are already here (and pretty much always have been for that matter), and that individualists are wrong in just pretending like the problem doesn't exist. But forcing this down everyone's throats without any possibility of defending yourself will only end up in a disaster.
Voltaire didn't say "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it", and in fact I've only ever seen that quote used to make fun of people who naively believe in the "principle of free speech", or by people who believe in centrist talking points about "cancel culture".

That means that your comment, too, must some kind of meta-commentary on trolling, delivered via trolling. Assuming the purpose of "trolling" is to incite other people to waste time by responding, you are brilliant- I wrote a long and involved response to your message before realizing that you are probably just pulling my and anyone else who reads your message's leg.
I disagree with this attitude. Many demos such as this one with Quake code are intentionally looking for (funny) outliers by bending the rules. But this is not how anyone would use the system in a real scenario (no one should select license by typing "// Copyright\t" and selecting whatever gets auto-completed), so it doesn't really demonstrate any new limits besides what you could reasonably expect anyway (and what's mentioned on the Copilot's landing page).

Basically, in order to fall victim for this "code theft" (or any other "footguns" from Twitter threads) you'd need to be actively working against all the best practices and common sense. If you actually use it as a productivity tool (the way it is marketed) you'll remain in full control of your code.
Since some experts get some things wrong some of the time, we should not trust any people who study things deeply. Anecdotal evidence is the only real truth.
Your own article link is very positive on the future of regulatory credit sales

> Tesla is on a roll selling emissions credits to other automakers, and the end certainly isn't in sight.

> According to Credit Suisse analyst Dan Levy, regulatory credit revenue is poised to grow to $2 billion in 2021 compared to the $1.4 billion in 2020

> Levy believes the future will continue to look positive for Tesla, pointing to Europe's stricter emissions standards as one reason. While we don't know for sure how things might look in the US under the new Biden administration, just about everything points to huge support for electric cars.
It will be fascinating to see what the impact of the electric F150 and Tesla's increased battery production will be over the next few years. Does anyone know where Ford is sourcing their batteries from?
>The other part might be just the organic result of shoving the complications of varying hourly load and varying worker availability week-to-week onto those willing or desperate to work extra hours.

Much of the "middle" (or upper middle, however you want to label it) class's luxuries are based on goods and services being cheap enough due to the people at the bottom not having a choice but to deal with unsteady income and changing schedules.

I am actually enjoying stores and restaurants closing early because they do not have enough employees, or prices going up so that people cannot constantly afford to eat out. It means there are people that can finally be home with family at dinner time, or if they are working, they are earning a premium for evenings, nights, weekends, etc and perhaps they themselves will be able to enjoy those services.
Even worse title: "Best Covid-19 vaccines are only 90-95% effective, so some vaccinated people still die."
Government requirements are continuing get more and more difficult and because Tesla is producing more cars, even if the price of regulatory credits drop they might get more money from it.

And what really matter is automotive unit margin and Tesla is doing well there even without regulatory revenue taken into account.
