$10K is the current price. Early last year it was $7K. The price used to be around $2K. Regardless of the price, Tesla is selling a product that it may never deliver.

Absolutely incorrect. Gun control is another racist policy meant to keep control over those the elites fear.
It's a bit of a nonsense for a few reasons - first the idea that this requires new hardware but actual FSD wouldn't. Secondly that this isn't FSD but the subscription is literally called FSD capability subscription.

It's also worth remembering that FSD stands for Full self driving, not "kind of some extra driver assist that still requires the driver's attention and intervention and doesn't work at all under a load of conditions".

As the politics in this country have curved in a liberal direction, I'm quite surprised that gun control issues seem to have moved the other way. What can explain that?
Should we? I spend my life staring at electronic screens, it’s nice to not do so for reading round, or sit outside and do so.

Maybe it’s an age thing, I used to have a lot more tolerance for this before my 30’s. Kindles are fine, but for leisure/fiction reading, or anything technical - it’s nice to be able to flip back/forth.
My guess is that some companies don’t what to hire professional murderers, not for moral but rather for practical reasons. One might suspect that people who have killed others are damaged and thus best avoided.

Show HN: X.app: Picture-in-Picture Extension in YouTube for iPhone and iPad
I'm not convinced that it's feasible to design a language that way because features and the underlying system generally seem to influence each other so much, so that I'd suspect starting with 'what you want' has a good chance of making the system unworkable due to breaking something like computationality or making classical logic unsound while making it very hard to notice (if it's not a theoretical property, then something more practical could also be problematic. Something like automation isn't a panacea either because a system needs to be amenable to it). Extending existing systems with something like intersection types seems already hard enough.

As an example, it's very hard for me to judge what it means for equality to not have a type without an underlying system to go along with it. Since it's still featured as part of types (such as your dom f = A ∧ cod f = B example), you still need a typing rule, but what would that look like? It's at the very least non-obvious to me that this doesn't potentially have some issues.

Or, what does extensionality for types cover that isn't done by subtypes? And should this just be a metatheoretic property, or also something that can be stated inside the system?

Besides that, the current items on the list are of course reasonable enough (though nil strikes me as a regression from option types and paraconsistent logic strikes me as totally unusable in the general case as you'd lose A \/ B, ~A |- B, which is absolutely essential.)
Indeed, there's definitely an appetite for bizarre/weird stories on HN and as someone who lives outside of the US this seems totally bizarre to me. Even more bizarre that some other states already allow this.

But actually, not that interesting to me. Provided they stay out there and shoot amongst themselves as is their "God-given right", or whatever it is.
Database optimization posts are always interesting, but it's really hard to do any apples to apples comparison. Your performance is going to depend mostly on your hardware, internal database settings and tunings, and OS level tunings. I'm glad this one included some insight into the SQLite settings disabled, but there's always going to be too many factors to easily compare this to your own setup.

For most SQL systems, the fastest way to do inserts is always just going to batched inserts. There's maybe some extra tricks to reduce network costs/optimize batches [0], but at it's core you are still essentially inserting into the table through the normal insert path. You can basically then only try and reduce the amount of work done on the DB side per insert, or optimize your OS for your workload.

Some other DB systems (more common in NoSQL) let you actually do real bulk loads [1] where you are writing direct(ish) database files and actually bypassing much of the normal write path.

The better analogy might be gold rather than the stock market, but I think your point holds.
Stocks pretend to be backed by real business activity. Without being propped up by central banks, there is no guarantee they would be profitable. They might be destroying value, not creating it.
This helps eliminate a victimless crime. The criminals will still carry illegally and this bill actually upgrades the felony for those who are caught carrying who legally could not.

Now someone who needs to carry who can't afford the overpriced classes, fingerprints, waiting for the state to mail you a card to give you your rights is gone. A lot of poor people need to carry a gun for protection, and either cant afford the other hurdles, or just can't make time to jump through all the hoops.

Remember, we're not the first state to allow this, not even the top 10, permits continued to go UP in states that passed these laws, and crime did not go up.
Yes, this product historically was a BeOS product, and eventually it became cheaper to put together a version of Haiku with no show stopping bugs for their customers on hardware you can actually buy than to try to find hardware that would still run an obscure 1990s operating system.

The very first versions of this product are essentially BeOS, plus an existing MP3-player type application, plus a little bit of software glue, the right off-the-shelf hardware and the know-how to use it for radio broadcast.

It's definitely one of those products some HN regulars would dismiss as "I could basically make that in an hour". Me too. But, after an hour nobody else can maintain it and it doesn't work on anybody else's computer. The hard work is in turning that into a product that generates some net revenue, which is mostly non-technical work.
this is bad news as it is close to palm springs, and anything like this should be kept out of the LA area.
I’m curious about what parents from other states think of when considering moving to Texas. The priorities of the State Government seem to be mis aligned with the actual problems facing its people. This law in particular arguably both makes the state less safe and encourages a gun owning culture.
So glad to see more genomic research around cannabis. I have a jar full of seeds from my late grandfather. He said it was from the same hemp that the Constitution was written on.

It wasn't until flying into Seattle that this east coaster learned of oreGONN. Which is surprising because I'd always pronounce the game title that way. In any other context I'd say oreg'n. In general east coasters lean on the 'schwa' much more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schwa
That’s the hardware for the 2016 version. The latest version of FSD needs newer hardware.
Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems the only changes here over upstream are jamlloc and/or malloc_trim. I’m not as familiar with malloc_trim, but jemalloc is fairly trivial to setup without recompiling Ruby (using LD_PRELOAD), and there are even buildpacks for environments like Heroku. It seems like more time was spent on the marketing page than on the actual optimizations.
The US Gov holds ~$4Bn in Bitcoin alone. The Chinese Government ~$11Bn. Are they using these funds to undo the damage? That would feel like an obvious option.

A Man Who Cleans Up After Plane Crashes
Genuine question: can you elaborate on "without any problems"? As a European I find the level of gun violence in the US to be shocking, so I don't understand why lax gun laws like these are not a problem. The Bill Hicks quote "There's no connection between having a gun and shooting someone with it, and not having a gun and not shooting someone, and if you make one you're a fool and a communist" is perhaps overly simplistic but it does feel like it gets at a truth that when you have lots of people walking around with guns, lots of people are going to get shot. I recognise that how the US gets to low gun ownership from where it is now, and whether the US even wants that, are tricky questions, but I really have trouble wrapping my head around the view on gun ownership in the US in general, let alone particular aspects of it like private ownership of assault weapons.
Self-Plagiarism Is Not a Thing (2018)
I think you're misunderstanding me. I am not selling you anything. I make no money off this. I am not invested in whether you personally choose to move forward or not. My point is different.

Your original statement basically equates quality with authority: you believe a project is qualitatively good if and only if it's officially blessed by an authority you trust. And that belief is fine. Most people either aren't able to, or don't care enough to, verify quality themselves, so we defer to trusted authorities. Nothing wrong with that approach in general.

The thing I'm trying to tell you though, is that in case of MRI, there have been multiple past cases when the lack of official authority blessing did not in fact mean a lack of quality. This isn't hypothetical: there's a proven track record. My own track record is proven as well.

What is in it for you? Well, reduced memory usage, improved performance, faster and lower-hassle installation and security patching!

There is always a risk, yes. But all I'm trying to say is that the equation "lack of authority blessing == lack of quality" is proven not to be true for a Ruby project such as this. Whether you want to take the risk of trying it out, that's entirely up to you.

> You don’t have to share your mesh connection with all 30 units and the equipment you install wouldn’t be able to support 30 units.

Right, and that’s the key problem with building management approval. They’re already disinterested and they’re even less interested in installing something that only benefits one apartment or maybe a couple. There’s already a specific exclusion against the likes of DirectTV satellites that only serve one apartment on the roof.

So the best chance of getting approved is to go down the fiber route, but that’s a so much larger and complex solution that there’s less chance it’ll ever happen. Feels a little catch 22-ish: the small solution is too small to get approved, the large solution is too large to get approved. None of this is Mesh’s fault, it’s just that plodding real estate interests in the city always default to doing nothing if they can.

(worth noting though that a number of folks in NYC live in co-op buildings where the apartment owners are the building management, I imagine the fiber option could make inroads there much more easily)

Of course I understand that but you seem to be working from an assumption that brains are not sufficient hardware to run consciousness on. I submit Human wetware is a little more sophisiticated than your avant garde binary computer. That does not mean that consciouness is a superanatural or ethereal process not emanating from the brain.

IDk anything about promises vs this but... the key point for me, here, is subscriptions.

Both software & subscription based business models have proved way better than just selling stuff. Tesla's business is increasingly proving that its in these businesses. If Tesla can normalize >$200 software subscriptions, this changes the game.

For example, there is an interesting & contested economic question about planned obsolescence in cars. Once a long lived product reaches maturity/saturation, demand plateaus or depletes. Refrigerators, for example, are a different industry once most houses have one TVs too. Some theories of the great depression, for example, have market saturation as a primary culprit.

In the 30s, planned obsolescence was transparently promoted as a depression ending plan^. Orwell, writing 1984 after the war, predicted continuous low level warfare, a means of destruction to counterbalance production. It was widely thought that saturation points were the weakness in modern industrial economics.

In any case, Henry Ford's engineering ideal of simple, built-to-last cars lost out to GM's annual design changes... demand based in fashion & trivial novelty, rather than utility.

Today, Japan absolutely enforces obsolescence for cars. EU countries, often via environmental taxes also push old cars off the road to encourage new ones. Many cars are built to last 100kms/10yrs. Between insurance, tax, biannual roadworthiness tax and such, the most economical way to own a car is a cheap, new one.

Anyway... contrived obsolescence is just the most on-the-nose way of keeping the ball rolling. One of many. There are also new markets. There's fashion, like it or not. There's technological improvements, at least during some periods. Any can work.

In any case... subscription and software business models could change some real imperatives in the auto industry. Building cars to last is possible, manufacturers just haven't had the incentives to. If the number of Teslas on the road becomes a multiplier for a meaningful revenue source... the incentive to build long term becomes significant. Turns a linear trajectory to a saturation point into an exponential.

To the extent that this succeeds, the auto industry is going to be all about the fleet, rather than the factory door, soon. As always, affordability will not be the endpoint.

People on both sides like to have options to protect themselves and family. So many new liberal gun owners these past few years with the pandemic, civil unrest, liberal president calling for bans and restrictions on everything. Conservatives welcoming new gun owners with open arms. I have heard from so many friends talking about their liberal friends asking what guns to buy.

Yes. Start from known-good database and then update or insert with needed deltas. You could even have more than you need in the template file and truncate/drop what is not relevant for the current context. Depending on the situation, it might be faster to start from a database containing all of the possible things.
Fuchsia is based on the same idea and has support to just one OS. The BSDs are not even a good example of 'something really unified' from the start anyway.

The actual reason for all of this is that the distro's themselves (and the BSDs) bundle 'hundreds' of external third-party system packages as first party just to get a 'basic desktop working'. I don't want to start pointing fingers at where a bug could be located at as it would be very painful to maintain and start searching through the whole Linux or BSD desktop stack. Good luck with that.

The only difference with the BSDs is that they just have a different kernel. Everything else has the exact same software stack just like many Linux distros.

Hence this, with having little to no OS fragmentation, it is also the reason why everyone only targets Mac and Windows. 'Official support' gets very expensive when 10 or 20 distros need to be tested on a CI or guides need to be updated as users tweak or mess around with their Linux distro.
You think a person capable of getting into Google is not capable to get into any other FAANG company? I'd assume they're the ones persuading them to switch - why'd the FAANG companies look for candidates without that experience (e.g. on Linkedin) and reject someone with it?

There are numerous current (and past) legal cases against Google, including numerous antitrust / anticompetitive cases. Several of those hinge on influence and manipulation through that chief organ of a democratic society, media.

As usual the "science" on this issue is garbage politics. Gun violence by legal gun owners is statistically near zero despite owning hundreds of millions of guns in the US.
> Lawsuits are expensive

So are Teslas.

I get the argument. I’m not saying we legalise fraud. But if we’re spending the earnings of the average American, who barely earn enough in a whole year after tax to buy one, I would want to be damn sure there isn’t anything applicable to them being de-prioritised. (Hint: there is.)

The goal of Fullstaq Ruby is to democratize the fight against Ruby memory bloat. Democratization means that as many people should be able to reap the benefits as possible. It's 2021 now, and expecting users to compile Ruby or Jemalloc from source is no longer realistic. Compiling anything is no longer a non-scary, low-friction thing to do.

States that have passed these laws saw no dramatic increase in shootings, and optional permits actually went up in these states.

What makes you think he’s fit for IT management? I work at a place where there are lots of military veterans and the IT dept has the worst time with them because they are too structured and stiff at the top and too “yeah whatever bro I’ll just shoot the thing” at the bottom.

Unfortunately nothing of what you mention makes him stand out as an IT manager. Does he at least know what the difference between a problem and an incident is?

Maybe have him look into the ITIL cert. I personally think it’s junk because I’ve been in IT for 12 years, but my boss could def benefit from some terms since he’s not an IT guy. Still sucks to have him as a manager because it’s a waste of time to talk to him every time. He can’t help me when I have an issue and he can’t really defend us if needed because he can’t check the veracity of anything technical.
