I think the goal with the Gigafactory and iterations on battery tech is to keep increasing energy density/efficiency so that the pros outweigh the cons.

The same could be said for solar as well. AFAIK panels are a net negative until their efficiency outweighs the cost of making them.

It's all a means to a noble end. Rather this than continuing to burn and release carbon?
There are good libraries around authentication and authorization. There was at one point an analogue to ActiveAdmin, but it looks to be a dead project now. I generally discourage the use of those kinds of interfaces but if you must, this is more current: https://github.com/mojotech/torch
yes, this correlating effect is specifically argued against in the book 'wisdom of crowds', which discusses the conditions under which group decisions are better than individual ones. echo chambers are defined by their strong correlative impulse, which means they're statistically much more likely to significantly deviate from objectivity.

another relevant phenomenon derived therein is that a range of opinions, most of which are wrong, is completely normal and acceptable, as far as reasonable group decision-making goes.

but correlation of opinion is the core issue here, and human social dynamics constantly corral us into such correlations. only folks sufficiently and intrinsically principled have a strong enough will to incur the social costs of having truly independently-derived opinions from the herd (which doesn't guarantee objectively better perspectives either, but does help the herd hedge against catastrophic over-correlation).

Although I was originally thinking those aren't great examples because of their fringe nature (vs the more common mundane stuff that people can get cancelled over), that might make them good examples. Neither (by themselves) are illegal opinions (yet), so as long as they keep it out of the workplace it should not be part of the employment decision.

Most clicks on ads are certainly misclicks. The business is to make store owners believe that they are getting exposure, not to actually give them sales.

All of the little guys like me who tried to run a Goggle Ads and Microsoft Ads campaign know that we can spend a few thousands dollars without a single impact on sales.

Then the salesman from Google calls you and tells you it’s because you’re doing it wrong. Try such and such keywords. Link to your payment button to see your ratios! Try to optimize for CTR and EWQ and ASDF (not the strange proximity between those ideas and random letters on a keyword). It must be you. It must be YOU!

The business is to make the business owner believe as long as possible that it will work.
Those permissions have pretty clear use-cases which benefits the user itself and enables things which otherwise wouldn’t be possible.

> I wouldn’t expect to see any change.

But then you subsequently need to buy a charger, which is what? $15 if you want to get a reputable one?

Even if you only got a new one every three phones, that's essentially a $5 tax on every device. ($6 if you consider that the cost of the device wasn't reduced, with a $1 actual cost like you suggest)
> but building a private charging network makes me think they really don't give a shit about anything but Tesla.

duh? They're not a company for public good. They're a company to make money.

There's a bit in 'What I worked on' where he says

"Hacker News is definitely useful. I've learned a lot from things I've read on HN. I've written several essays that began as comments there. So I wouldn't want the site to go away. But I would like to be sure it's not a net drag on productivity. What a disaster that would be, to attract thousands of smart people to a site that caused them to waste lots of time. I wish I could be 100% sure that's not a description of HN."

> Moral hazard is a major source of systemic risk

This is unsupported by the literature. Moral hazard creates risk. It has no special power to create systemic risk.

Systemic risk is created by risk interconnects (the more opaque the better), predominantly, and crises of faith, less dominantly. (The latter is more of a classic case. If the government is collapsing, yes, you have systemic financial risk, but, one, that's obvious, and two, that's not the most pressing problem.)

Once you're done mopping up the systemic risk, nothing stops you from curing the moral hazard. If China bails out Evergrande, I don't think the executives will have a fun time. In America, post-crisis regulation was sharpened to limit the chance of future bailouts. (Though, in my opinion, not enough.)

What matters is what happens at work. I don't care how bizarre my coworkers' beliefs are, as long as work and non-work are compartmentalized. If you segregate people based on belief, then you amplify division and intolerance.

Good idea. The escrow company should also be in the business of advertising for their clients. "Here is a list of SaaS products you can depend on for the long term" they'd say, and I'd believe them because, worst case, the source code gets released. Whenever I thought something like "I need a finance app" I'd head on over to saasescro.com to see who they recommend. The escrow company could then use this clout to win more customers.

We're heading towards a world where there's 20 SaaS apps for everything imaginable (or are we already there?), this could be a competitive edge.
Google's current consent flow violates the GDPR, so that's a bad example.
Exactly. Being able to copy data from the PDF instead of relying on OCR or copying by hand is a great asset.

Also, in my country if I send plain screenshots from important things like bank transfers, legal documents instead of the generated PDF file I get politely asked to send them again. If the original is on paper a good quality scan is OK though.

And, you can't certificate or password protect image files (unless you use another format as a container).

I think there's a slight distinction to be made between "games that have built-in low/no-code content editors" and "games that can be modded via an SDK, but you have to code".

The former are good for any creative kid (or adult!) and don't require you to learn a programming language, just logical thinking (as in logic gates/flows). The latter, depending on tooling, can require everything from simple Lua scripts (a common game modding language) all the way up to learning UnrealEngine or Unity.

Games with built-in content editors:

* Warcraft & Starcraft series (oldies but goodies)

* Fortnite

* Minecraft

* Neverwinter Nights series

* Divinity: Original Sin series

* Age of Empires series

Code-moddable games:
Too many to list, see here: https://store.steampowered.com/tags/en/Moddable/#p=0&tab=Top...

In particular I'd check out Warcraft, Neverwinter Nights' DM mode, and the DOS editor for a good sampling of what the industry can offer. They are a great stepping stone to actual programming, with triggers, conditionals, and other flow control structures all wrapped behind a veneer of fantasy gaming.

I think you are being downvoted because it is not a completely apt comparison. While Tesla does make luxury/performance cars, they are also used as people's primary means of transportation, not just track cars like the FXX (or the Enzo which I believe is the road-legal equivalent). So they are less like Ferrari and McLaren where I can't any new car for less than six figures and more on par with Audi/Lexus/etc.
Younger generations understand less tech than older generations, although they use tech more than older generations.

That's an interesting premise but I don't know how true it really is. Certainly today's younger generations haven't necessarily had the kind of curious exploration phase that those around GenX had and a lot of the modern technology is much more about lock-ins and walled gardens at the moment. That's a relatively recent disease, though, and breaking down some of the tech giants and their de facto monopolies might go some way towards curing it.

At the same time, the digital native generations tend to have much more street smarts than their predecessors in that world. Today's teenagers are much less attached to individual personas online and change social media accounts frequently. They know not to give out their personal details or even their real name too readily. They're often more savvy about common online threats than their parents and staying safe online is routinely taught in schools now. And they are often much more willing to engage in campaigns about issues like equality and environmental concerns, which their whole generation recognises as an existential threat in the future and a sign of generational inequality, and quite knowledgable about these issues.

It's not hard to imagine a near-future scenario where a big company tries on some sort of greenwashing to justify its obviously greedy strategy of forced obsolescence, it gets called out prominently by the next Greta or Malala, that message spreads virally throughout whichever social media platforms are popular with younger generations at the time, and that corporation's stock price crashes over the next few days as their PR team scramble to tell everyone that environmental protection is very important to them and their previously unannounced follow-up to the earlier announcement involves reversing it as quietly as possible.
If you are a business looking to market your product/services in this day and age, what are your options? Will you buy bus stop ads? Billboards? TV commercials?

Facebook is where you go. I’m not saying it’s the only option, but it’s a major one.
Depends on the area. In my state, over 60% of production at night is from wind. I have solar at home and so I charge my car during the day.

Besides, the average emissions per kWh of a large power plant is significantly lesser than several thousand smaller ICEs due to basic thermodynamics.
I agree with what you're saying, but want to clarify that you're talking about 'AdSense' (the display advertisements), not 'AdWords' (the search ads).

Ok let's get pedantic.

Not having to store fuel means:

- I have to spend less money on logistics because I don't have to put out fires, I don't have to train people to put out fires, I don't have to hire people, etc. etc.

- Less fuel needed to be held means more working capital needed for energy consumption, less time to fuel up.

- Less fire risk means I have to allocate less money for risk based allocations (insurance, hospitalization for people getting burnt, emergency planning and services required to deal with fires, etc.)

- Less fuel means the cost to create an aircraft carrier is much less

- A smaller fuel tank required means a smaller overall aircraft carrier, which means I spend less

- etc etc.

This is by all means an economic decision.
Being honest doesn’t make him wrong. If Thiel is known for something is for being insightful early.

A lot of people in the startup world still value “first mover advantage” as something that gives them an edge, when evidence says it’s hardly the case. “It’s not about being the first X, is about being the last one” is a brilliant way to put it.
Content on the web was much better before the scourge of advertising took over. I very much wish everybody would universally block ads. Appealing to the current situation in a static sense is a cop out that lets you condemn what would be a welcome reversion.
It sounds like you are having difficulty drawing a distinction in your mind between the journalist who did the reporting on the story and the art department that had to come up with something that conveys "small chip" to an average reader without having actual photos.

Most stories about COVID include inaccurate artistic renditions of the virus, but that does not discredit the reporting.
The trick to writing a great job description is not to write it at all.

I've seen HR depts with spreadsheets and lists of acronyms and frameworks and really none of that matters. and "very competitive salaries" but absolutely no numbers anywhere.

You want to find the person you're going to hire, then write the job description. You're looking for fast learners and innovators, they can learn a framework in a few days at most.

For college hires, just sponsor a prize at your local school's hackathon. Anyone you meet there with an interesting project just bring onsite for an interview. For more experienced devs, better go with internal recommendations. Your top performers all have friends, and some of them might be bored right now.

And be upfront with the numbers; You'll waste less time. I knew someone who wasted 5 rounds of interview with someone (this was outside the Valley) before revealing compensation. The candidate just flat out said he needed 3x or it just wasn't worth his time.

"... it’s untenable for Apple, or any other company, to “support our employees’ rights to make their own decisions regarding their reproductive health” and ask any woman to work for the company in a state with a law like Texas’s.

So you'd rather integrate with an API that involves network egress to an untrusted third party system?!

There's plenty of formats they don't involve SQL. It could easily be JSON or XML or YAML or anything else. SQLite is built into Python, you just need to open the file and query it, no importing needed.
Unfortunately, they don’t want to debate, so all discussion gets shut down. Even when you present ‘evidence’ to substantiate your claims.

I can only give people who reason otherwise, the benefit of the doubt if and only if they provide compelling evidence for everyone to see so they can draw their own conclusions.
Absorbing the negative externalities of a process is the same as subsidizing it. The subsidy value here is bounded above by the net present value of the negative externalities in question.

There can be, and I strongly suspect Microsoft would prefer there to be - reviewing and signing all the UEFI drivers consumes significant resources. Nobody else with sufficient resources to do this job has stepped forward.

This might depend on your jurisdiction, but in general legal systems are quite lazy: if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's a duck. If it's something that I have exclusive control over, and I paid someone else money for that exclusive control, then it's my property. There doesn't need to be a written contract or a deed, any more than there needs to be a written contract or a deed for me to sell you, say, my bicycle. If I agree to accept payment, and you provide payment and I provide you with the bicycle, there is no sense in which you are not now the owner of the bicycle.

The crypto space does have an unfortunate history with a kind of legal mysticism, in which people ignore legal practice in favour of attempts to re-derive everything from half-remembered Locke, or something from Nick Szabo's blog, or some weird way of doing things that turns out to be an elaborate attempt to evade securities law rather than any actual legal requirement for sale of property. The term "smart contract" takes this tendency and multiplies it. Ignore this stuff and focus on simple principles: party A paid party B for something that party A was indeed able to transfer to party B in return for the agreed payment. Unless there was an agreement specifying otherwise, B has just acquired some property from A.

Actually, it's west (not sure how I messed that up). Yes, it's a fully functioning town/city of ~60k people with all the major things you're used to (convenience stores, grocery stores, etc.), though you might need to go into Toluca or Mexico City if you're furniture shopping or something.

It's a common weekend and holiday destination for people from the city and there's some foreigners living there permanently, though the big draw for foreigners is the paragliding community.
The rebates are more directly intended to spur an EV auto industry, preferably dominated globally by US auto makers though? And I think you could argue that they did a pretty good job of this- at the very least they seem to have fast forwarded EV market share by 5-10 years, allowing at least Tesla to bootstrap itself and spurring the big auto makers into the EV game in a real way. The way things were going until 2005ish, GM would create a lot of headlines by putting a battery into some golf cart that could barely handle a trip to the mall and back and then put up its hands and say "See this just isn't practical and this is the best our MIT engineers can do vaguely waves at its ICE car lineup"

And through that lens, when it certainly felt that EVs were really going nowhere aside from a few prototypes that were completely uncompetitive, or a niche for really rich people, these subsidies have essentially launched a legit EV industry that can stand on its own, and the amount of carbon reduction that will lead to seems astoundingly cheap for the price paid. I guess you can always second guess what would have happened in the absence of these incentives, but to me they seem to have legitimately pushed forward the EV market quite a bit. Without these incentives and Tesla, I personally feel that the big automakers would have continued to pay lip service for another decade or two, maybe even three, until peripheral advances in battery technology made EVs too competitive to ignore.
