If you exclude non-recurring revenue like the regulatory credits, you should also exclude non-recurring expenses like Musk's stock grants. Especially given that the stock grants don't cost Tesla cash.

IOW, Tesla is profitable with or without the regulatory credits.
I felt the need to write an article about this whole situation too:

"Built on Stolen Data": https://rugpullindex.com/blog#BuiltonStolenData
I think that's too simplistic.

Here's an animal. The options are:
- Owned/managed by a human
- Living in nature
- Not existing

The animal has consented to exactly none of those. But living in nature is not a bed of roses. Is it moral to subject an animal to that?

In that analysis, human ownership (if humane) seems like the most moral option. And "nature did it first" has nothing to do with the analysis.
Can you please email me at elijah@elijahlynn.net? I would like to connect with you and other vegan tech folk (ideally a video chat). This is open to anyone on this thread.

I've been nutritarian vegan (Eat to Live book) for 16 years, fwiw.
Because the majority were civilians incapable of putting up a fight.

>If we replace "dog" with "human" it would get upvoted. This is called "speciesism".

To put it lightly, I don't think this idea holds water in the general case.
You might consider those taxes but nobody else does.
I could imagine a civil or criminal case relying on shredded documents as a source of evidence.
> more aligned with the KGB rather than the party.

What was "the party?" The party itself been the puppet of:

1. KGB

2. Interior ministry

3. Military

Which were the real power behind it, and essentially were the source of CPSU policy, with ordinary low rank members being mere "shesterkas" errand boys.

So now what was the actual political force running the CPSU is now having an even more direct control of Russia, and without military, and MVD competing with them for power.
If people stop eating meat, who is paying for the well being of those billions of animals?

I'm not trying to be glib. If humans did not ever eat meat, we would not have ever domesticated cattle, but we did. So if everyone stops eating meat, what happens to all of cattle?

We can set them free, but we have bred out most of their ability to compete in nature on their own, we would be leaving most for death. Or we can continue to farm historically domesticated animals benevolently.
> Yes in an American court, they are the ones charging him with these crimes.

Yes, the USA is charging him. It would be very odd for extradition hearings on US federal charges to be heard in a US court, and, in fact, these are not. Assange is not on trial, and the process he is currently undergoing in is not in an American court, though there are charges pending that he would face in a US court if that process completes as the US prefers.

I can see you arguing that that's not important, but falsely denying the assertion that its not in a US court is...I mean, what's even the point?
If you're being consistent, you must believe that the (Republican-led) Senate Intelligence Committee also fabricated a narrative when they wrote in their report:

"It is our conclusion, based on the facts detailed in the Committee's Report, that the Russian intelligence services' assault on the integrity of the 2016 U.S. electoral process[,] and Trump and his associates' participation in and enabling of this Russian activity, represents one of the single most grave counterintelligence threats to American national security in the modern era."

How forbidding something that is not used makes sense?

They could still let the people who want to produce their own optimized APKs and sign them with their key just do it as before, while defaulting to whatever they plan to do now.
Hey, you should check out the Humane League, and consider becoming a Changemaker. I did it a couple months ago and now I have a large network of vegan folks around the country that have been a great support system. Many of us are in tech, too!
Is this why Apple picked Siri maybe? Something slightly more unusual
They aren't. Do you look at all the obese people and say, man, that non-vegan diet you are on looks really malnourishing?
Dunno. I go to HN because it's the one place where I can whine about AI being total bullshit, for the exact reasons as we're now complaining about wrt. Copilot.
Yes, I've considered it. The thing is I really dislike captchas so I tried to avoid deploying one. I do have a hidden form field that gets populated with a secret value in JavaScript, so the bots must be running JS at least to function.
Devil is in the details and I also guarantee you there are important differences between how western bureaucrats operate and how they operate in USSR/elsewhere despite any commonalities that can be drawn.
Agnostic of actual political nonsense, an email scandal finally gets someone in leadership. That's the unluckiest SOB ever.

PS: After an experimental physics colloquia on their campus up the hill, IBM Almaden offered me a paid dark matter RA job when I was 15. It didn't happen thanks to sabotaging parents. Also, a computer scientist-programmer lady from IBM volunteered her time at my high-school which was really cool.
Remembering the “Fat Men's Club” that begot competitive eating
> eating nondigestible plants is not a good idea.

Almost every plant is nondigestible.

> But a vegan diet has been approved for humans at all stages of life

Well if it’s been “approved” then no need to worry! Who exactly “approved” it and why do I care what they say?

> There's a big difference between a well-rounded plant-based diet, and living off sugar or cellulose-heavy raw plants.

There are like 4 edible plants that don’t provide 90% of their calories in the form of sugars (starches are a kind of sugar). There are also very few plants that don’t have a huge cellulose content.
Doctors usually don't know statistics so when they review papers like this they don't see any issue. They do it on paper but not in practice. You see it in most published medical papers, no matter the bias or leaning, but the only time we get up in arms over it is when it supports causes we think are wrong.

First, at least IMO, RSS readers tend to have far better reading UX since their primary function is consumption.

Second, related to the previous, I prefer the "infinite scroll of content" UX of an RSS reader versus the typical email paradigm.

Third, it segregates the content so that my email contains those things that actually require effort to respond to, and not just content I'm consuming.

Fourth, you can blend your newsletters with other content published via RSS, creating a unified content feed of things you want to read (in my case it's a combination of newsletters, long form news articles, blog posts, etc).

Finally, again, RSS is far more convenient for converting to other formats like ePub.

Can you get some of these benefits with the right kind of email client, filters and config, etc? Probably. But, the original post was from someone saying they didn't want to use email. So this is an alternative. If you're happy using email, keep on keeping on!
> "I literally cannot afford the cheapest electric car and will be homeless and starving without a vehicle", "I need to heat my home to keep it habitable in sub zero temperatures in the winter", "I want to eat and not starve to death", "I want to cook food", etc.

Obviously we talk to different people but I've actually never heard anyone use this as a justification for our behavior. It's either non-acceptance of environment-scientific facts or acceptance.

> The objection to global warming isn't that it isn't real, it's that without fossil fuels most of us will die sooner than the worst case climate change effects ever will and so we have no choice.

The political debates I'm following, North America and Europe make me believe that actual climate change denial is very much a real thing. More so the more rural and/or the more dependent on the oil and gas industry you get.
My emailserver runs at linode. It delivered fine for some 10 years, then I started getting blackholed (at Microsoft live, hotmail, 365, outlook). This IP does only mail. Server is secure, up to date and has all the DKIM/SPF nonsense.

It's impossible to reach humans that can help. It's impossible to unlist. So I'm now on my third IP, my last one running mail for 4+ years, from Digital Ocean. Only now, occasionally, does an email get through.

I'm almost 100% confident that Microsoft just blanket blackholes or punishes anything from Digital Ocean or Linode.
Corollary - I did keto for just over a year while on a vegetarian diet with the main goal being weight loss. During that time I felt extremely energised and healthier. While not strictly vegan, my diet was basically the low-carb nuts, legumes, mushrooms, fruits, vegetables, eggs and cheeses. I did have to add a few supplements, otherwise I'd feel like utter shit, magnesium and electrolytes mainly had a significant effect on my mood. But otherwise it's the healthiest and most alert I've felt since I was a teenager.

People I mention this to assume the toughest challenge is variety but as I love to cook it wasn't too hard to make it interesting each day. The toughest challenge was convenience, you grab a coffee or a lunch with friends and there's very few places that cater for all. The second most challenging aspect was cooking meals for the family, as I am the main cook for my wife and kids who did not at all buy into a vegetarian diet let alone keto, but that again wasn't too bad since I could just cook a normal meal, scrape out the bits I can have and whip something up for me afterwards.

After about a year on that diet I ran a sub-1hr 12km charity race which isn't exactly a world record, but not bad for a 40-something always-recovering alcoholic with weight and mental health problems. I'd definitely recommend keto (with proper medical supervision) but... maybe not at the same time as trying to eat less meat.
A trillion? Well I guess efficiency doesn't concern you...
How did they get so wrong...
This isn't a new loophole, though. Major US airlines do the same thing with regional carriers. If you live in the US, you've probably been on a SkyWest flight and not known it. The big difference is SkyWest is regional (they're not on the East Coast), and they contract with America, Delta, and United, so they actually have some leverage.
I want to be clear that I have zero doubt that illegal domestic spying happens in the US. I chose my words carefully.
Show HN: Video Pitches and Feedback for Founders
We've just launched a new place for founders and makers to pitch their products and get immediate feedback from the community in the most personal way. The format is built around short video comments that can be added on top of any content (websites, screens, product pictures etc.). Would love to have you on board!

All you need to do is head to our website (https://getbubble.app/web/home/), sign up with your email, and make sure to respond with "Product Feedback" to the question "What makes you unique as an early Bubble user?". Looking forward to seeing you!
The fur thing just isn't compelling. Hominims lost their fur prior to developing tools in order to develop sweat glands all over their body, allowing them to expel heat better than their prey (and so hunt by literally chasing an animal until it got hyperthermia). Neanderthals may have been hairier to help in colder climates, but it's pretty remiss of the article to not mention that losing fur was one of the key developments in hominim evolution.
>Heck, even the most aggressive wealth taxes I've heard about amount to taking 3% of current networth for people with networths > $50 million.

I'd be curious if you could cite a source for this information.
It speaks volumes about the marketing industry and how readily ethics and compliance are accepted even by companies that theoretically face consequences (though CanSpam seems to be lacking in enforcement here).

There are products that definitely make it past the seed round and sometimes even as public companies before enforcement notice that their entire product runs afoul the law.
It’s just hitting modern marketing requirements. In old
Newspapers anything other than the headline didn’t sell the paper, so could be informational. Now the article headline determines click through rate and therefore revenues. So, you are understandably being annoyed by a shift from informational to click bait.

But, ask yourself: which one would you click on?
Very interesting that this was posted as I literally JUST watched an even MORE interesting youtube upload about this very bit of code just last weekend.

Here's the very fun video if anyone wants to take a look:

The film The Game Changers has plenty of examples of thriving humans on a vegan diet, it is the opposite of what you claim.

You are just showing a bias.
There are nuanced differences.

Slavery (as seen then) implies that the person you are enslaving as subhuman (remember the 3/5s compromise?). Most slave owners treated their slaves as investments like a farmer would treat a tractor today. In fact, for the really terrible work many slave owners would hire Irish immigrants to do the jobs they didn't want their slaves doing out of fear of the risk of harm to the person doing the job. They were tools, not humans.

Racism, which we have now (though probably to a much lesser degree than what some people would want you to believe) acknowledges that the other is human but is inferior due to skin color or ethnicity.

Bigotry is more cultural. The other is human, and should have all the rights thereof, but the bigot doesn't like the culture of the other person. This is called racism by contemporary standards, which is very wrong.
If you consider 98.8% to be quite a bit less than 99.7% then fair enough. It's still a lot.
Huh? I travel every few weeks from Berlin into my tiny little home village in the Ore Mountains by train, and what's not reachable by train has bus connections. The urban infrastructure is (mostly) fine. I guess doctors can simply make more money in cities with a bigger selection of rich privately insured patients to milk :)
Cool, sounds like you have some cool milestones to work towards! I've thought a lot about a product like this and it's really cool to see that you guys have already got an MVP going. I would love to chat some time about current implementation and long term vision of Napkin if you're down! Maybe hearing my gripes will help you guys flesh out the road map lol
The GP is saying they should hire more drivers, and reduce the workload on each one. And that the cost to doing that doesn't really bother him.
Robots were supposed to take our jobs. Instead, they’re making them worse
Freelancing is great if you've built up a network of professional contacts who appreciate your work and will both contract you and recommend you to their network when someone is looking for work done. You typically get paid a far higher hourly rate than if you are working full-time - my contract day rate amounts to nearly double my full-time day rate.

And presuming you keep delivering, impressing people, and gaining more skill and experience, it just goes up and up and up.

Like anything else, it is much harder if you are on the bottom rung.
I disagree it's too simplistic. It's a logical fallacy that we wouldn't be advocating for in any other context than our treatment of non-human animals.

It's also just a disingenuous argument. If our actual concern were the welfare and lives of animals in the wild, we would be capturing and caring for those individuals - not breeding new ones into existence.
It won't be long until IBM starts the write-downs of the goodwill from the RH acquisition.

It looks to me that he’s a self-aggrandizing liar. This Reddit thread contains a few good links. https://www.reddit.com/r/moderatepolitics/comments/oc31pe/dr...
It’s quite literally stealing code from repos under a GPL license and suggesting them to people regardless of license (if any) they’re using. I do not see how this is legal.
Yeah, I don’t think government jobs are the main driver of a complex tax code, but rather lobbyists who help write loopholes from which their companies can benefit.
The encoding used a prime number as a factor of the number reported, i.e. the ordinal number of each option is multiplied by that prime factor. The prime was selected as the largest possible number based on the max digits to send and the number of options to encode. That created a sparse distribution of possibilities, so that typos were more probable to get detected. It also enabled that by simply factoring the report and using the factors to identify the type of wheel that was sending the reports, allowing one single phone number to receive reports from multiple wheel types or versions.
> quantum physics

> cute cat

> neither is more right

There's an awesome joke in here but I can't see it.
I started seeing the value of this ideology recently. I have a really strict routine before I write a single line of code on a complex issue. All of these ways of thinking ultimately came out of efficiency gains I learned on my own in the kitchen. Prepare, then work. Trying to prepare while you work is chaos (but sometimes essential).

The very first thing I do after finishing a design review narrative is to type up a list of discrete tasks that I plan to execute. These don't necessarily say what to do line-by-line, but draw out a very clear picture of what code areas are edited and what the dependency graphs look like. These also highlight specific configuration or other UX points to reference during testing. These task lists are specific enough that other developers could reliably execute them without any additional guidance.

Then, I take a short break and review my task list when I return. 9/10 times I find I want to tweak it a little bit.

After the final confirmation, I sent notification out to my team that I intend to execute the task listing so they have a super clear idea of what functionality to expect on the other side.

I have found that this reduces my anxiety/stress by orders of magnitude throughout the day. Starting with visual studio and fumbling around various parts of the code base might be a good way to get your brain warmed up in the morning, but its certainly not a rational way to go about solving a complex problem.

For trivial issues, production RCAs, etc., the process is certainly a little bit more streamlined than what I note above. This is more about how to do work on big tasks.
Sabu should have been detained and on trial at that point, the FBI is thus complicit in any illegal acts he does as they are the reason he had the opportunity. Even if the FBI was not aware of the action, their agent was responsible for it happening.
Postmodernism is literally founded on the idea of rejecting meta-narratives.

Lyotard in fact defines postmodernism as "incredulity to meta-narratives".
Why do you believe that almost every vegan is malnourished? How do you know who is vegan, and how do you know who is malnourished? Are you basing this off of anecdotes you've read of people eating plant-based and then feeling unhealthy? If so, that's not very reliable info.

On the other hand, here is every large nutrition institute around the world agreeing that veganism can be totally healthy for all stages of life: https://youaretheirvoice.com/pages/the-clear-consensus
At least stick the word "Some amazon deliver companies revolt". It's by no mean all companies.
This OK, if you dont like it go and create your own newspaper, news agency or media conglomerate. This is the world we live in right now.
> Watch The Game Changers and read Eat to Live.

The Game Changers was manifestly stupid propaganda. If you fell for it, this is a really bad sign wrt your ability to filter out dietary-pseudoscientific nonsense.

> Do you look at all the obese people and say, man, that non-vegan diet you are on looks really malnourishing

The average obese American is on a diet much closer to a vegan diet than a meat-based diet. They get most of their calories from bread, rice, peanut oil, soy products, corn syrup, canola oil, etc. etc.

That's essentially it. They outsource the loss of delivering packages and make the company pay for it on top of it.

LinkedIn Connections Growth Analysis
Been playing around with this for the last few days - it’s fascinating.

‘Peppa Pig by H R Giger’ produced startling nightmare fuel, while ‘Victorian Robot family portrait’ was utterly charming.
I'm not sure where I stand on this since the topic is outside of my expertise. From a distance it looks like someone talking about their area of expertise, related to their work.

How different is someone like me making a questioning a claim that the ECS scheduler clusters can't possibly reach 5000 nodes based on the fact the I wrote the original code (the example is obviously contrived and doesn't match neatly like for like).

This comment would be outside the expertise of readers and moderators at Linkedin. They'd be ill-equipped to intervene, I'd say.

I'd say this would be problematic and way too subjective for anyone not to be worried about said action.
> The world is depending on him given his outsized influence and wealth.

Bernie Sanders had a great response in a town forum where the panelist was trying to get him to acknowledge how grateful we should be for billionaires and their helping hand during the pandemic. What he said was, he thinks it is great that they (billionaires) are doing charity work, but the fact is, for a nation as rich as the United States, being thankful for billionaire hand outs is ridiculous.

We (developed nations) honestly shouldn't be in a situation where we rely on billionaires to prosper and be excited about it.
