I can only speculate, but within the last few years it's become vogue to hate on Elon Musk and his companies, despite the incredible amount of good Tesla has been doing for humanity and the planet.
You're right, a deeper analysis is probably required and hopefully was done. In general though, I think any investment that develops the means of production of a country is well spent. Having the capabilities and equipment is a huge long term boon I think.

Like I'm not sure what else would money be better spent on then education towards a knowledgeable workforce and the means of production to produce and service people.

Within that category, I agree there is an opportunity cost, like is battery manufacturing the right thing to invest in compared to other products or services? That's a much harder thing to predict though.

Animals will often misinterpret an attempt to pet with an attempt to grab. It helps a lot to attempt to pet with the back of your hand rather than your palm and fingers.

Luke and Leia were teased as a romantic couple in Empire, she kissed him on the lips to draw Han's ire, and then it's hinted that she's his sister in the final scene of Dagobah/when he calls out to her via the force. The incest thing is something that Lucas was deliberately playing with, whether Splinter took that into account or not.

Yup.

It’s funny how people forget history so quickly. Even Facebook’s story is simply forgotten. Fb does what google can’t … copy features and products, and cannibalize their own audience when a product is obsolete/outdated.

Google usually tries to copy, but launches as a separate product.

Or they buy and mess it up.

Facebook is good at both integrating acquisitions, and at copying features and leveraging their userbase.
i'm not surprised, look how invasive the cleaning techniques are.
I remember an exhibit at the old OMSI location (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) that was a telephone handset you would speak into. You would attempt to read something that was printed on the exhibit (The Gettysburg Address?) and your voice would be played back to you with a slight delay. No matter how hard I tried, I was reduced to a babbling wreck with a matter of seconds. It was totally maddening!

The problem with this specific subsidy is that it will disproportionately benefit the already industrialized states.

The economies most likely to take advantage of it are those with automotive foundations.

Essentially, it's Spain funding Germany's leap ahead.

Germany will import Polish Engineers and workers to support it - and those 'lost bodies' represent a hugely problematic issue for E. European economies.

In addition to that, general free market access to E. European industry has resulted in more money exported to foreign owners of Polish industry than Poland receives in direct transfer subsidies.

Particularly when combined with the essentially 'hard money' requirement of the currency union, which favours Germany, and you have serious problems.

It's a thorny issue.

I think this subsidy probably makes sense, but it should be on a national level, not EU level.
The potential issues raised are a bit tenuous

Hyperbole such as this is why we end up with so many bad policies. You can be pro-investment and also expect that governments focus on good investments.

Not all investments are not good investments.

I just wanna say why is this in Rust:

Rust is a system language.

For example, one shock is that you can't print! or dbg! anything (without adding Debug/Display to each type).

The reasons?

Where it will print in a Airpod? yeah: Rust is made to work in places where NOT exist a place to print to. Or where NOT exist a filesystem, or HTTP because not exist TCP because not exist a network card.

So, in Rust all start in the deepest of the deepest bottom.

I have a good metric to select frameworks/libraries:

- If is too complex, NO except if is the only game on town

- If have crazy deps setup (ejem: OpenSSL, bastard mess of dep!) NOOOOO. (except if is the only game on town)

- If is too big, damm be good and solid (ej: PostgreSQL)

Whatever the lang, this have served me well, and when I have been lazy (I get a deps to OpenSSL and waste 1 week fixing CI builds with it then remember this and cut that mess) the pain quickly fix it.

So, next time you get a trouble like this (in Rust or whatever) ask what alternatives you can use instead!
Proof-of-work is necessarily a resource-wasteful scheme. I think it's okay to make a moral judgment about that with regard to it becoming the world's most expensive game of guess the number, principally for speculative purposes. We live in a resource constrained real world and this is something exclusively for the world inside of computers but with negative externalities on the real, outside world.
Tin requires a supply chain[1], but bronze requires no special technology to create. Refining iron is much more difficult, which is why we had bronze first.

Pottery long predates ironworking. So does agriculture. I'm not sure how you're defining "mass technology", but ironworking isn't the first one.

[1] It's not just tin. Copper has to be sourced from specific locations too.
Today is always a good day for a general strike. Your job needs you more than you need your job. You are the means of production, so reclaim yourself.

Oklahoma hospitals deluged by ivermectin overdoses, doctor says

I'd like to see this claim validated experimentally. My guess would be that any observational claim would be confounded badly by the kinds of factors that select people into financial literacy (whether that be regional factors that drive both opportunity and availability of financial education; personal factors that drive wherewithal to seek education or interest in financial literacy).

My sense would be that there are cases where people are taken for a ride -- extremely bad decisions around payday loans, high APR leasing, bad use of credit, gambling, etc. -- but it's unclear whether or not most of these come from a lack of financial education or rather a sense of struggle and fatalism around pre-existing lack of economic opportunity. Likewise, we can all name people we know who are single mothers and are diligent about credit and clip coupons and have great savings tricks, but for the most part this headroom might be enough to stave off drowning but it never enables freedom because the costs and salaries don't enable freedom.

By contrast, I know plenty of 6 figure earners who more or less don't give a shit and still manage to be more or less free. Some of them will reap what they sow come retirement time by virtue of having not invested well, but when we say freedom we typically mean something more here and now.

I'd love to see a longitudinal RCT that actually uses a paired subject design to look at the impact of a 2-4 year financial literacy component to education. My guess is that the effects, though probably positive in sign, would be marginal in magnitude.

The article motivates this as "people on benefits spend them without budgeting", but another way to look at this is that 30 years ago, people on benefits had access to a robust council housing market, the ability to climb the property ladder, career advancement prospects even in unskilled labour, and a better public pension system than now. Maybe financial literacy has declined, maybe scams have increased, but it seems like the biggest free variable is the degree of comfort state support, even if budgeted well, provides. This is pretty well documented; Ken Loach's I Am Daniel Blake covers this, the well-regarded "Up" documentary series is unintentionally almost entirely focused on the effects of the erosion of the welfare state, deindustrialization, and the death of blue collar opportunity...
This is super cool, I wish it went more in depth as to how the mechanism works. I assume it contains some kind of camshaft system for each digit that encodes a fourier series? Really beautiful
It's one approach. A bit carrot-and-stick, but what I have seen in restaurants in upper class neighborhoods is chastising changes to public policy. Each menu page has a footnote mentioning there's a X% charge (that isn't the tip) applied to each menu item due to a rise in minimum wage.

Since they re-printed the menus anyways to add the footnote, they could have simply been more transparent and increased each menu item's cost. Most people regularly dining at fancy ocean-view restaurants (which I rarely frequent) can afford the higher cost.

I haven't looked at how the kernel is written. But Linus has a problem using a more powerful language - if Linux adopted one just for OOP, then it will become impossible to hold back contributors from using every last feature of that language. I can understand the reluctance to deal with that.
> Going back to self-driving, the main challenge on the roads seems to be the fact that anything or anyone can suddenly appear on the road in front of the car. It can be a drunk person, a slow animal (or a fast one), it can be a huge but empty cardboard box, or it can be a fridge in cardboard packaging left on the road for whatever stupid reason. The possibilities are almost literally infinite. A good FSD system should be able to assess, try to make a good prediction of the behavior (it's kind of OK to hit an empty box if I don't want to cause much discomfort to my passengers, but not OK to hit a fridge).

How does a human driver determine if the box they are looking at is empty or has a fridge in it? How many times has there been no way to get to your destination without ramming refrigerator boxes? How often do you even find yourself pondering whether you should ram a box?

A good FSD system need only distinguish between obstacles to the degree that it can predict if the obstacle will remove itself or if it will need to find an alternate route, with the latter being a safe default assumption. Claiming an FSD system needs to do something even a human can't do is just moving the goal posts.
It’s moments that I read articles like this that make me wonder why I’m putting so much energy into making a better SPA or trying to engineer solutions to faster more performant web animations. I feel like I’m not using any of my technical acumen to advance human civilization but instead to line my own coffers and those of the corporation I work for.

With that said, it is always good to keep in mind just how fragile civilization as a whole can be to things like global catastrophic events, as this article highlighted these are events that could have happened but did not, thankfully, however if they did the world would be very different today

Healthy food mandate is a terrible idea. The main reason masks and vaccines are mandated is to protect others, because when you don’t vaccinate or wear a mask you spread the disease and overwhelm hospitals. Moreover the mask mandates are mostly backfiring anyways.

People would never allow a healthy food mandate. If you push and force people to eat healthy and exercise they’ll double down on junk food and sedentarism, just like people are resisting masks and vaccines.

In fact it’s already happening in the southern US, where “southern pride” = chicken fried steak, mayonnaise, red meat, sticks of butter in every meal. Obese people who are made fun of for ignoring their health, make obesity and health ignorance their identity and then go out of their way to make their health worse. I know there is
healthy food and ways to workout in southern culture, but i never hear about them.

You can’t force somebody to lose weight - you can starve them, but as soon as they have access to food they’ll put the weight back. When they make the choice to lose weight, you can help them and make it easier for them, e.g. by not buying junk food. But you can’t force them. We need healthy food and exercise incentives, not mandates.

What the other person meant, I think, is that when you buy services from the companies, those companies then pay a 20% tax on profit to the state, additionally, all the salaries they pay to people also end up ta ed at 30-40%, so much of the labor cost will be returned to the state and only raw materials won't (but if they are sourced locally, the suppliers will also contribute some taxes). Don't know the exact division between labor and materials, but my armchair guess would be that 20% of the cost of factory will end up as tax paid to the state.

My dad was a commercial pilot, and taught me to fly at a young age. One of the bits of sage advice was something along the lines of "if your nosegear has two or more wheels, try to get it bang on the centre line, every time. Otherwise, miss a little tiny bit. The lights go THUMP-THUMP-THUMP and eventually drive you mad or, combined with a little gust of wind, cause you to hop once more".

I think there's a lot of Old Pilot Superstition with more than a dollop of truth in it.
> Physicists believe they understand quite well how the universe works on large scales

Why would a physicist write an article and talk about physicists like they were some mystical "other" single minded group of people. I just hate that characterization, so unhelpful and damaging in my opinion, and kind of manipulative to open up an article with that.

I don't actually believe most physicist believe they understand how the universe works, I think most of them feel like there's still so much they don't understand, that it's probably why they wanted to become a physicist in the first place. But I might also be wrong, and in any case, you just shouldn't start your article with a big fallacious generalization that has no data or rationale to back itself up and also somehow position yourself as some sort of "knows better".
Rust generics can be written in a more compact way,

fn f(x: impl Test) { ... }

Is basically the same as

fn f<T: Test>(x: T) { ... }

Having to annotate the return value of functions is partly to make sure don't break semver accidentally, but it also constrains type inference to a local search rather than global search, avoiding spooky action at distance (when modifying a function changes the signature of another function). It seems that semver hazards are more important in languages with static types.

That pub? It's punching waaay above its weight! Having things private by default protects against semver hazards too, but it's also the major tool that enable writing safe code that uses unsafe { .. } blocks underneath. That's because a single unsafe block typically taints the whole module it's contained (such that even safe code needs a safety review). Being able to write safe abstractions of unsafe code is the pull of Rust so people need to get it right.

For example, setting the field len of a Vec to a value larger than what's initialized in its buffer will cause UB when accessing that memory; if this field weren't private, making a safe Vec would be impossible (likewise, a function that could set the len to any value must be private, etc).

So pub can only be used for things that are safe to export, and people should be careful with that.

Here's my least favorite syntax from there: that damn Ok(..). Ok-wrapping sucks. There were proposals to remove it, but they were rejected. There's a library that removes it [0], and people should use it. It also makes the Result<..> return type implicit in the function signature too.

This might be one of the worse cases of an editorialized headline I've seen on HN recently.
The difference between pub in Rust and _/__ in Python isn't that big. It's like Go that uses a capital letter to say what code is public. There's also a difference in philosophy between public by default and private by default. All in all, it's a small detail and doesn't affect things.

Sure, business logic is more readable in something like OCaml than in Rust. On the other hand, Rust isn't really worse than something like Java, and I like having more information than what you have in Python. I'll also add that Rust is often chosen for speed and reliability, and that part of that syntax is here to guarantee that. It's not directly business logic in the traditional sense, but it's something you expect from your code.

All in all, Rust is still not at the level of the "platonic ideal for syntaxes", especially not for most of the code I write (business logic for web apps, which wouldn't need Rust's speed). Still, in the realms of programming languages that are used, it's one of the best.
Come on, it is definitely not the case that nobody cared about readability. My sleepless nights after arguments about syntax in 2011 and 2012 very much say otherwise.
