What most of them do is they will use Wordpress exploits to get into random wordpress website ran by people who know nothing about managing a website and are running on a $3/mo shared hosting account.

After they get into these random wordpress sites, then then embed links back to their sketchy site in obscure places on the wordpress site that they hacked, so that owners of the site don't notice, but search bots do. They usually leave the wordpress site alone, but will create a user account to get back into it again later if Wordpress patches an exploit. All of this exploit and link adding is automated, so it is just done by crawlers and bots.

This is done tens of thousands or even millions of times over. All of these sketchy backlinks eventually add up, even if they are low quality, and provide higher ranking for the site they all point to.

Think of websites like mommy blogs, diet diaries, family sites, personal blogs, and random service companies (plumbers, pest control, restaurants, etc) that had their nephew throw up a wordpress site instead of hiring a professional.

I don't mean to pick on wordpress, but it really is the most common culprit of these attacks. Because so many Wordpress sites exist that are operated by people who aren't informed about basic security. Plus, wordpress is open source, so exploits get discovered by looking at source code and attackers will sell those exploits instead of reporting them. So Wordpress is in an infinite cycle of chasing exploits and patching them.

It's interesting that early user feedback indicated that if you wanted to max your Safety Score you actually had to drive unsafely in specific ways. For example, stopping correctly at red lights and stop signs would show up as braking, so gently running yellows/hollywood stops would produce a higher safety score.

Umm... no. I want vscode.dev's context menu.
If this were accurately reflected in the rates I'd be interested, but past experience suggests that it's going to be more like "if you drive perfect you might get $5/month savings, but if you brake hard that one time your rate will shoot up by $50/month".

You assume extra risk that the company won't screw you over for what is likely to be a very modest upside. There are lots of case studies of people who got massive unexpected bills because they were trying to save a few bucks. Especially since they will be able to assign the blame to the customer for their high rates. Never trust corporations more than you have to.
> Once every other company is releasing high quality electric cars?

Like who exactly? Only the American automakers are taking this seriously. Most have them have a target of maybe 50% of their offerings to be electric by 2030. Some European brands are now starting to play serious VW at the forefront of it. And the ones resisting the most are the Japanese. Mazda doesn’t even commit to a hybrid and realizing more efficient ICs coming soon in 2024. Toyota and Honda are actively seeking to block incentives to EV makers.

And even if startups like Rivian or big players like Ford,GM and VW eventually start making cars at a much better quality, they still have to match the level of vertical integration that Tesla has. The lead they have is no joke.

Yeah, the politics and concepts in Liu's writing is pretty typical of realist CCP/Chinese thinking.

Apple Will Force Unvaccinated Office Workers to Get Tested Daily
In recession, companies offering the most innovative products tends to speed up and quickly gain market shares.

I reject your false dilemma split across a parenthetical aside (which shows your prose skills :-P). No, it's not either "he didn't start Firefox (though was aware of it and soon incorporated it into Mozilla's strategic plans)".

Market valuation depends on expected future profit margin per car. Not on how many million low margin cars you have already shipped. Walmart has the highest revenue, while Apple has the highest profit. Shipping a bunch of low margin stuff is of little value.

The market expects tesla to beat Toyota by an order if magnitude on profit margin per car. As simple as that.

I think seeing Tesla as only a car company is a mistake.

They're a car company, but also a battery company, which means they have the potential to be huge in everything that requires batteries (e.g. cars manufactured by others, grid scale electricity storage) even when they don't make the final product.

I'm not even sure that the car business will be their main business in the long term.

This is a valid question that does appear politically motivated. But, the downvoting does appear politically motivated.

If we look at the from-state/to-state patterns, we may see evidence, one way or the other, that vaccine mandates cause healthcare workers to change jobs. We may see that the mandates do not cause any significant change. Any significant change (15% or more) in the number of healthcare workers can result in a change in healthcare quality from one state to another. If quality of healthcare changes significantly (positively or negatively) in a state, due to vaccine mandates, I want to know: especially if it is in my state.

It was actually a suggestion, to have with the fries, but not fully jokingly, because it reads in good way and does need NO suspension of disbelief. Not that it would be my source of knowledge of the subject, k?

By telling as it is I referred to what is here, what I'm aware of elsewhere, not that it would be unconditionally and universally so. Just that it is a trend and a desire of the involved governments, industries, bizniks and utilities.

In this case YOU don't know why that is. Maybe someone who is wary of such systems spoke with his lawyers and protested? So smart meters are installed but not linked, pending on judgement of several things, the principle as such, because 'the smarts' are wasting energy, the reliability and security of the things, and their accuracy.

No doubt: the regex syntax in Perl is most efficient. I can envision using Perl more if I ever got back into a command line focused text manipulation workflow. I tend to use lighter-weight tools for things like your one-liner— I believe `sed -i '.bak' "s/foo/bar/" *` is equivalent, but I disagree with the neckbeard purists who say you should always use the lightest-weight tool possible. If you're using Perl anyway and Perl can get the job done with the smallest cognitive load, that's the correct tool.
So what do we do? Just admit that it's all doomed forever? Perhaps the only question left at that point would be exactly what even needs to be blue and red team'd. In other words what is worth using at the risk of being abused. If you also assume infinite extent, then nothing is worth it because everything can cause harm.

Otherwise, we actually do learn ways to converge towards more generally secure systems. Safer programming languages and safer hardware will lead the way, but it seems much slower this round than the stories we hear about the origins of everything.

I'd put a good wager that "speeders" may fall to that category.

I find that I generally travel above the speed limit and feel far safer than I do when I set my cruise to the proper speed limit. Why? Because when I'm passing others I get to choose how long another vehicle is in my blind spot, or how often someone is trying to park themselves in my back seat. When I go the speed limit I always end up in a pack of cars all jockeying lanes with someone far too close to my rear bumper and a guy in front of me swaying up and down in his speed... I feel generally unsafe leaving control of my speed/position up to the other cars on the highway.

* Very obviously, these are subjective takes and likely don't reflect reality. No vehicle accidents in 17 years makes me think I'm doing something right though
Does every question have to be supported by verifiable information, or is it just an offhand question?
"One's philosophical / metaphysical worldview determines how one views reality." I fully agree but I fail to see how it is true in the case of ontology of mathematics. All ontological frameworks will have to explain the existence of the same entities so what is left is the difference of vocabulary and maybe cultural practices embedded in each view, but the reality will be the same. You won't meaningfully deny the existence of triangle only because you changed your ontology.

Try the other EVs then. Try a Taycan, try a Mach-E, try an E-tron GT.

I'm not trying to call out you specifically, but there are so many people who are completely unaware of what the auto market actually looks like, and then they compare a new Tesla with whatever old mid-range ICE they had before, and of course the Tesla seems like a magical space-age vehicle that is better than anything else they've ever driven.

But the competition isn't slouching. The Taycan isn't far behind the Plaid in performance, and it beats the Tesla in repeating launches. The EQS has longer range and way more tech. Super Cruise and Blue Cruise are better than Autopilot in the areas they are enabled. There's plenty of cheaper EVs than Teslas, like the VW ID.4 or ID.3. There will be tons of Rivians and EV Hummers and F150 Lightnings on the roads before the first Cybertruck is delivered, if at all. You can get a EV truck from Volvo, today, and other truck makers are following suit, so you'll get an electric semi from the competition way before the Tesla Semi sees the light of day.

And every single one of them has better interior quality, better fit-and-finish, and better customer service than Tesla.
It's really hard to compare Apple and Nvidia, but a bit easier to compare Apple to AMD. My best guess is performance will be similar to a 6700xt. Of course, none of this really matters for gaming if studios don't support the Mac.

Yeah, and I'd also applaud the effort to have wages rise more proportionally to overall productivity gains. The big story of the US is that wages are stagnant but productivity has only gone up over that same time. If they have leverage, they should absolutely use it.

I think the reasons are certainly cultural. Underneath it all, some of the reasons for adjective-assigning reticence are:

1. An expansion of the concept of 'harm', so that now even casual word usage is thought to be evidence of causing harm. (ex: "Indirectly suggesting some students are 'not gifted' harms them")

2. Operating on an ideal that we are all born equal (not speaking of 'rights' here, but competencies, value to society, etc.). We are but a blank slate, to be molded by social structures. Any unequal outcome on anything has to be a sort of 'systemic discrimination'. (ex: "I see that there's some group that is underrepresented in that gifted program, therefore they obviously are discriminated against")

3. Operating as if humans do not have free will. Any underperformance on anything is not their fault, it's "the system".
I'm going to say something taboo that desperately needs to be said. Ethnic/gendered/sexual orientation based disparities in "gifted" programs, relative to overall population statistics, are not evidence of racial/sexual discrimination. At some point if we do not acknowledge that cultural and genetic differences among populations are the primary drivers of inequity in a meritocracy, then we will all be brought down to the lowest common denominator, with disasterous consequences for society at large; all functioning systems require competence and an unfortunate property of the reality that we live in is that only a small proportion of any given demographic is typically capable of functioning at a level sufficient to design, build, and administrate the technologies and systems that we need if we wish to see our populations thrive. And the size of this proportion varies from demographic to demographic - regardless of which set of properties you choose to define your sub populations.

Denying high achievers the extra resources that they need to excel for the benefit of society at large may increase measures equity, but no amount of money or attention will ever bring the bottom of the bell curve up to parity with the top, short of genetic and radical cultural engineering. The neo-liberal/progressive blank slate experiment has already failed, and if we do not collectively acknowledge that inequity is an inescapable property of human nature, the decline of western civilization will only continue.

Audi doesn't even have an R&D team for engines at this point. They're all in on electric, Mercedes is on a similar track. I'm not saying other companies will catch up soon, but Tesla needs to sustain their advantage for literally decades for this valuation to make sense. 10 years isn't enough.

Right. Hopefully, I've clarified my question in my reply to adrian_b. I don't claim to have cutting-edge knowledge on this topic but it seems that not all descriptions I've read are consistent, nor for that matter is the nomenclature.

In my opinion the word 'virtual' doesn't help as it's a catch-all word for when we've no clearer description. That's certainly not a criticism of you for using it, it's just a bit vague or general when we also apply the name in connection with Zero Point Energy/Quantum Vacuum, Casimir and static electric/magnetic fields etc. My point is that a 'virtual W' is significantly different to the others I've mentioned.

That said, you'll note in my reply to adrian_b that I'm no angel in such matters either in that I've postulated somewhat by repurposing a Feynman diagram as a graph. But then, Wiki led the way by providing the axis!
