> No generation ever has had this, full-stop

This is a totally different statement. Every generation said the kids are being corrupted. It may be the case that this time the kids really are being corrupted.

The whole point of the thread is that armchair psychology says the same thing it always does: the kids are being corrupted. Actual research says: the kids are being corrupted and that IG is different.

The point is that we need the research.
I have to agree with this. On the basis of results, I'm not sure that this person was a particularly good CEO or leader, but I'm also not sure that I'm qualified to make that judgment.

If you want to be mad about climate change, or economic inequality, or the lack of social safety nets in the USA, that's reasonable, but I'm not really sure that it's fair to pin this on Carson.

>>>To my knowledge, GM did not cancel any chip orders, because GM itself had no chip orders (this is oversimplified).

Come on, Really? So GM cancelled the orders for all the tings that the chips go in, and you want to spin that as "well technically GM did not cancel the chips"

That is bullshit.... The supply chain does not work like that, if GM cancels an order for 100,000 ECM's the supplier for the ECM is going to cancel their order for 100,000 chips for them to make the ECM for GM, it is unrealitic to believe anything else would happen.

Certainly the phone manufacturer (and OS provider if different) can have a go at anything they want.

I'm not sure what all counts as "getting data off" the phone, but some other methods of smartphone tracking:

- wifi (sometimes even if wifi is "off")
- EXIF on photos you take and share
- QR code usage
- public USB charging ports

Then there's cross-tracking by other means. It's likely someone has enough data to associate your phone with your credit or debit accounts, or a public transit card, or vehicle plate numbers & toll tags, or with your face and voice.

Scrum is like Myers-Briggs and all the other personality tests that they have. It is all 100% bs, but it makes the HR people pretend like they useful and pretend that they are using some kind of metrics, and for the developers of them to make money. But they are all just pseudoscience. (Pseudoscience consists of statements, beliefs, or practices that claim to be both scientific and factual but are incompatible with the scientific method.)

A lot of people here are saying it is a religion, and a lot of people are saying that it is great if done right. The people who say it is religion are correct. The analogy is that religion supposedly, if done "right", will make someone a better person. But meanwhile, people cheat, steal, lie, commit adultery, murder, rape in any or all of these combinations. Religion is not based in reality nor does it help, and the same with scrum/agile.

Religion and scrum are just a money-maker for the people selling their voodoo (pastors and priests and scrum classes) and for the manager who implement scrum, they do it to pad their resume for the next job.

And as someone else noted, it is a way for people who don't have needed skills to get a job.

I used scrum one time. Boy was it the worst. Well, the actual worst was when management made us as an entire company watch The Secret movie. But that only happened one time. For scrum, management wants that to be continuous. Basically, scrum, Myers-Briggs/personality tests, and The Secret are the exact same bs. Exactly the same.
Market cap = number of shares * price per share

Enterprise value = market cap + debt

The thinking is that to buy the company you need to buy the equity and then retire the debt, therefore when a company takes on more debt this increases enterprise value.

Another way to think about it is the liability side of the balance sheet. You make $20 in debt and $30 in equity so your total liability is $50. Then market cap = 30 and enterprise value = 50.

> Many of the big US car makers, apparently, pay pensions from their own balance sheets.

No, pensions are paid out of pension funds, which is an off-balance sheet liability. The only way it kinda indirectly would show up on the balance sheet is if the automaker got sued for underfunding their pension fund and had to issue some debt to make up the shortfall.

Let's say before this large coffee with investment money came in, there was 25 individual coffee shops in the city. Let's call them Starbucks. Then this company comes in with economies of scale and is able to sell coffee for 10% cheaper. Their product is more consistent. But there are individual coffee shops that produce higher quality coffee, and others who produce lower quality coffee, and both are more expensive.

If this is your first time in the city, and you don't have any information from friends about the quality of random shops, your going to pick Starbucks. This is the value of a brand. And while they are still competing, everything is all good.

But 5 years later once all of those individual coffee shops have gone out of business, you're left with just Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. And they don't compete on price. Quality drops.

Each of those 25 shops were doing their own creative thing. They were trying out all sorts of innovations. Some worked, others didn't. Now we have no innovation. The big shops are conservative and move at glacial pace.

As a worker you were helping drive those innovations. You were testing stuff out. Now working at BigCo, you follow orders. You do what the machine tells you to do. If you're working for Uber, you pick people up, follow the route, and drop people off.

Here's this question asked on quora: How much does soda cost?[0] This is in no way an authoritative source, but it's a neutral third-party that can at least end the slander that you are operating against me.

The answer they give is that it's fair to say that basically the water and sugar is free, cost is right around $0.10, and after shipping it's about a quarter. So was I wrong by 250%? No, because they don't only offer cans of soda. Most of the soda they sell is at restaurants and all they need to ship is the dry stuff. I figure the $0.10 average is right on the money.

Breaking memory ordering will breaks software - if a program requires it (which is already hard to know), how would you know which memory is accessed by multiple threads?

I don't think money is a problem in this specific case. Because of car shortage conditions they can afford to add a few hundred dollars to the MSRP and pay more for non-cutting edge chips and still come out fine.
It is similar in the UK as well regarding WhatsApp. Not quite to the extreme you describe, but WhatsApp has 100% replaced SMS. No one uses SMS. It is all WhatsApp. People don't talk about texting they say "I'll WhatsApp you." If you join a new social circle, whether it's personal or professional, the first thing is to be added to the WhatsApp group.

The only thing I'll say about the security aspect though is the on-by-default cloud backups make the E2EE a red herring. Even if you turn it off on your own phone, it is almost certain the person you are talking to has it on. And if you turn it off it nags you to turn it back on after each update, most users will just do it to make the nagging go away, and FB know that.

None of those are competitive with Teslas.

Range, performance, comfort, features are all miles ahead in the Tesla. Price may be the only factor they're competitive, but the sales numbers don't lie. Nissan has sold 500k Leafs in the last 10 years. Tesla sold 440k Model 3s in 2020 alone.

Also, the EV aspect of Teslas is not the only thing that attracts buyers. I know many here on HN don't realize this, but people love the OTA updates that make your car better over time. Tesla takes a software company approach to cars. I don't have faith in any of the existing manufacturers pulling that off. It's a completely different business model that none of incumbents show any proficiency in.
I am an engineer in a field that has been using >100VDC relays for a hundred years. There is a sizable supply chain out there for these things. You can buy them in whatever amperage you need, they just use different construction from typical low frequency AC relays. Wipers are often high quality metallurgy to extend life and they make use of simple passive magnetic snubbers to 'blow out' the arc that is self-extinguishing in AC circuits. They aren't substantially more expensive than regular high quality AC relays and use standard form factors.
Nice idea on double platforms! It would be neat to see a world where that was done uniformly

But I agree, that world is not ours.
I know nothing about how processors work so tell me if this even makes sense. But other than the time and money is there any reason that say a Google can’t create their 100% from scratch CPU and instruction set? Same for apple and all the others?
People pay twice the price for other reasons too. Performance and cost seldom have linear relation.
I'm watching that now, and it's definitely making me consider an electric motorcycle for my next bike.
You're thinking of market value, I think. Enterprise value is primarily (market value + debt - cash). Market value does not include debt.
I think Rivian and Lucid will not be around in 10 years. Legacy makers will still dominate. EV doesn't change the fundamental nature of the car sector, which is capital intensive, low-margin, and very buying cycle.

However, longer term, EV will follow the path of Android as cars become more autonomous. Things like driving dynamics, active and passive safety innovations will matter less and less.

The only thing that will matter at that point is data, software, and battery technology, which Tesla dominates. I wouldn't be surprised 20 years from now, if Tesla isn't even making any cars.
They’ve produced an uncanny cgi to illustrate the eVTOL vision[1]. While intrigued by some aspects of it (self driving cars, seemingly clever AI assistants and seamless identification across devices - it’s inevitable) I can’t help thinking it’s a dated perspective of the future of work.

I never said she "deserves" the hate that she gets, I speculated why she gets it. And my theory is that hate begets hate. On paper Coraline and her ilk have good values, many of which I agree with, but her combative style of proselyting her values has the side effect of enraging people and making them want to punch back.

If HN should be nuked from orbit, Twitter should be nuked from orbit a hundred fold. It's a breeding ground for hate and mob justice.
> This 'argument' comes about because everyone's forgotten about why it is that we don't want government to infringe upon certain rights.

I think the argument comes about because it’s first amendment case law with plenty of Supreme Court opinions.

What’s ignored is the flip side, that even governments (meaning federal, state, county, city, etc…) can regulate speech.

But let’s pretend that the case law was different and it were somehow unconstitutional for businesses to make rules that restricted your speech. I have never heard a proposed legal framework for how that might work.

If you have a brick and mortar and ask me to wear a mask, then fuck you and your rules I’m entitled to go into your store without a mask? And yes, wearing a mask or not is speech. Or what if I want to come to your store with a bullhorn and preach, you can’t remove me? Are your store hours a violation of my speech because I want to appear and protest in your store in the middle of the night when you are closed? These are not extreme examples, there are cases with similar facts which SCOTUS has dealt with when it is government and not private business with similar rules. Is Joe Rogan violating my free speech because I can’t go on his podcast when I want? If you have a website, can I sue you for not hosting my content on your website when/where I want? It just becomes a exercise in saying “I know it when I see it” and Twitter can’t moderate user content on its own platform but the law will not be applied equally to all businesses. The aim of the law should be to remove those kinds of discretionary standards in favor of plain letter law with bright line rules.
I distrust ZeroHedge to the point that I would assume they’re actively lying about stuff most of the time, but... if true, this would be beyond shocking.

Obviously, I cannot say for certain if what you’re saying is correct or incorrect. However, if you’ve read HN for any length of time, you would have seen that Google clearly manipulates search results to control competition or to punish certain companies.

Furthermore, no company would be asinine enough to allow bots, AI, or ML make decisions without a way to undo those changes. This tells me that Google employees are doing these things or your contractors are.
I do not support mandating vaccines. However I recognize the argument "all kids have to have x numbers of vaccine to attend school already, what is the difference?". Of course not all vaccines are made the same and because of this more and more people will be against the other childhood vaccines that are already here. This is like mandating the flu shots on everyone when really the people being affected by any viruses are going to be the old and those with underlying conditions (those with obesity and diabetes especially)

He won the Nobel for the invention of the CT scan. The clickbait-y part mostly concerns EMI. EMI is strange company. It started as a merger between a gramophone producer and a record company to create a vertically integrated business in the 30s. Capitalising on their expertise in sound production and broadcasting equipments they became a very important producer of radar equipments during the Second World War. And it’s this expertise in military radar technology which lead to the development of the CT scan. Meanwhile the recording part of the company merrily lived its own life and happened to produce the Beatles.

Personally, when I see FB on a resume, it’s a factor. I want people who will help push the company in a healthy direction. There’s always pressure to make changes to the app that increase addictiveness without adding actual value to the client, and I’m proud to work somewhere where colleagues push back on that kind of thing. Working at FB is a (relatively weak) signal that they won’t be that kind of colleague. It will come up in the interview.

If they can convince me that they stayed there in a ‘change it from within’ capacity, great. Otherwise, yeah it’s a negative signal.
> The more amps, the thicker the wires need to be (volts are irrelvant).

Nitpick: the wire as a whole includes insulation, which technically does need to be thicker at high voltage (though at 40-60V, and maybe even at 40-60kV, it's probably dominated by tolerances for erosion and abrasion and such).

High voltage power lines use air, which is actually a fairly good insulator per se, but has the problem that wires tend to pass through it on their way to a short circuit if not well-restrained.
