The battery can be heated, so you can reduce the cold weather range problems by preconditioning the battery before a drive. Naturally this uses some power, so Tesla recommends keeping the car plugged in when it's cold so it can keep everything nice and warm.
> Language tech improved, PHP didn't come with it.

I'm curious what you are basing that on?

PHP is not a fixed language. 8.0 was just released last year and has significant improvements. And has had several minor releases since (latest one being just weeks ago).

It has a package manager, a community of OSS libraries, tooling... everything a mature language has.

According to Github in the last month:

> 36 authors have pushed 311 commits to master and 329 commits to all branches. On master, 413 files have changed and there have been 19,469 additions and 7,581 deletions.

Not including popular libraries like CakePHP, Laravel, Wordpress, Drupal, etc. All of which are also very active with hundreds (if not thousands for some) of contributors.

That doesn't seem stagnant to me.

Edit: As a note, I don't even use PHP anymore (though I used to a lot in the past). I'm just confused by how someone can say it hasn't evolved with the times. If anything PHP has proven time and time again it is in fact willing to involve. With releases that make leaps and bounds for performance (with benchmarks) and add new more "modern" features consistently for over a two decades.
Fb has been sending me a lot of interview requests for product manager roles lately, it kind of feels like they're looking for a patsy to "take the fall" on their past practices I must say... Even though the salaries look good, I wouldn't want to have to go in front of congress and testify for decisions I never made on the job. Hard pass. :(

I also got a call years ago from a company once to develop pr0n web sites for a pretty good annual salary (around 200k base), but turned them down after my interviewer kept laughing during the interview... I felt the work environment would be too distracting on a daily basis... :/
> Conspiracy theories are a manifestation of skepticism.

They're a manifestation of biased skepticism. Conspiracy theorists tend to be skeptical of everything except their own favorite conspiracy theories.
But WTF-16 paths can be converted to WTF-8 just fine. You can even use the same algorithm, just only pair surrogates if they are matching an otherwise interpret them as UCS-2 values and encode those normally to "UTF-8".

This is exactly why I share my salary. In order to curb the pay disparities in marginalized groups, we have to be willing to be honest about wages.
All the time. Pay transparency has as a far outreaching effect. I tells students, friends, anyone. Sometimes I feel like I am bragging, but most of the time it's just to highlight what you can make in the tech field and I still feel like I'm paid on the lower end.

> Luxury ride. I've a Model 3P, 0-60 in 3 seconds, decent lap times at various tracks, and pretty competitive with today's semi-exotic rear engine corvette (0-60 in 2.9 seconds), and will beat quite a few of the corvette's on the road today in a 0-60.

Performance isn't luxury. I've seen plenty of powerful cheap cars. I mean the look/feel of being in there. The Tesla is fine, but a nice car feels good, not fine, to be in.

But yeah, I expect good performance from any EV.

> Driving cross country with a kid, dog, and partner works well.

Except for the need to stop at superchargers along the way and wait. How did you manage to choose the one use case that Teslas (and all EVs) manage to be worst at?

As for opening their supercharger network, Musk announced it would be to any car that could plug in (with an adapter they plan to sell), if the drivers downloaded the Tesla app.

Meanwhile, I'm surprised people use any built in map/nav/entertainment system. I have a phone and a tablet. Why would I want a second rate experience baked into a large purchase? Like "look at the quality of the tablet permanently mounted into this wall" isn't a selling point to me for a house.
> The lithium iron phosphate cells are less energy-dense but much longer-lived.

And apparently much less explodey.
Is it possible to quantify these changes in some way?

People say musicians always made a pittance, has that substantially changed in the past 20 years?

Labels seem to be buying up old catalogs, so there's some truth in that.

His point about platforms not being effective in breaking new artists seems right though. I remember an article where Grizzly Bear was quoted as saying that without Radio play, you seem to hit a ceiling in terms of building a large, permanent fanbase.

My personal suspicion is that without repeated exposure to new music, done semi-forcefully through radio, it becomes much much harder and expensive to break new artists.
Another note to the same quote: for me it looks like classic half mask respirator is not that "good" against COVID, as it only filters on the intake, not the way, out. At least my cheap one does. Therefor, while it prevents you from getting it, it does not stop you from spreading it. Right?

Sure, that might very well be what you aim for, but from my understanding, FFP2 should prevent both, at least theoretically, since wearing them correctly is another point of failure.

OP here.

We do not version our services in that sense. It's a monorepo after all.

We do have microservices.

We use kubernetes.

Deployment is a breeze. Only services with changes are actually deployed.

We do hourly deploys to production.

None of the issues you describe apply here and the monorepo works awesomely for us. This is a SaaS situation where all services making up that SaaS solution and that we host are in that monorepo.

YMMV if you are in a different situation such as having to ship versioned software for customers to self host/install for example. Our accompanying software that is usable in conjunction with the SaaS solution is not part of that Monorepo and each of those are versioned and deployed to various external marketplaces.
First and foremost, this is a nice recruitment post. Not that it’s devious in any way.

While Cloudflare has introduced many industry disrupting features, the pace of innovation isn’t that fast if you look a bit deeper. For example, it only took like three years or longer for domain registration to be available for new domains (it was only transfers until then). The reason given for this on a HN comment was a non-answer. If you visit the forums on Cloudflare, you’ll also see different kinds of billing related issues that, while they may be a bit complex, are not responded to as well as one might expect.

Nevertheless, Cloudflare is doing a lot of stuff that will prod the competition to wake up (or just let them die).
I agree with this in general, but let’s not forget that everyone has a different budget structure and comparing these is apples to oranges. On one hand, that guy has a family and obviously is short on everything, but on the other, this guy has no family and spends on various substituting activities to make up their life. The difference may be 5-10x, but personally I don’t care how much it is to someone, if that is my baseline. It is not like free money, it is like that some people are cash sinks by design and operate out of some negative basis. If they didn’t, they couldn’t be themselves.

Also, sudden 10x may destroy your identity in just a year. In my circles it’s called to punch with money. Most people cannot manage that and become hostages of their various delusions.
If the post is referring to WS then the characterization is actually wrong.
Both dogs and healthy humans have said gene in the genome, but hypersociality in dogs and WS-affected individuals are caused by different mutations in it (structural variants and a full deletion respectively).
Is this a serious thesis? The point is the average car owner can make some money off an existing asset (instead of having to buy a medallion), and the average person needing a ride has more options to choose from. Cab infrastructure simply does not exist at a reasonable scale in most cities. Money, Time and The Planet basically do not come into the equation when the alternative is getting stuck at the airport.
I second this. I would also add it negates my need to rent a car when traveling about 80% of the time.
Tesla opened all their patents… so not sure what you are referring to?
There is a particular American culture twist to this though as Americans are conditioned to be over-confident and project knowledge even if they know little.

An American asking a Brit "Do you know XYZ?" The foreigner will reply "A little" and to an American that means the know nothing - an American who knows "a little" will say they are good at it.
I'm not confused lol. In America homes are just bigger now than they used to be. You can still go small though. No one said you had to take on a huge mortgage. That's why discretionary is a bad metric to use.

Don’t.

A lot of people in CS are passionate about what they’re doing. They start early (in their early teen), and just love it. They breath and live for it. You’re never going to measure up to them cause it’s all very technical, and quite boring to most outsiders.

You also need a certain mindset to be good at it, which you can’t know cause you’ve never tried it.

If you’re not excellent at it, you won’t get rich at all. You’ll get middle class, which is fine for most, but you won’t retire in your 30 and pursue an acting career.

If what you really want to is acting. Do it now. Acting requires a lot of training. And when you’re 30, it’s kind of late to get in the game.

If you want to do acting for fun while making money with a full time job, go and work in finance. It’s a little complicated but not too much, and you’ll find most people there are in it for the money. With some work, you’ll get good salaries quickly.

And honestly change your attitude. You’re coming across as an entitled brat who thinks everything is easy for them and you could be just as good an engineer as you’d be an actor. Life ain’t that easy.
With AI, you'll never meet them and know what they look like.

The article is interesting, but it fails for me to make a convincing case that looking stupid is necessary, most of the time.

Particularly in interviews, what I'd like to read is a reflection not on how to avoid thinking in the way that results in saying or asking things that sound stupid, but how to keep the same internal process without communicating the results in a way that confuses quite so much.

An analogy: a mathematician proves a non-obvious theorem. In their proof, they skip so many steps that it looks like they say intuitively wrong things.

It is NOT that they should stop thinking of these proofs in the same way, it's merely a failure of communication.
Why did you go with PHP over another language? Do you have comparable experience with other languages to have had legitimate alternative options? Genuine question.

I'm deeply interested in your project as I have a similar goal. I would also like to create my own custom entertainment setup, throwing in commercials/trailers with feature presentations. Do you have a website or place I can reach out to you with questions?

Or for Hacker News readers, if I want to create a similar custom media playlist kind of thing, is it possible to do that with VLC or would I have to write a custom solution?

> Serum Institute was appealing for financial help to boost production capacity. But the government completely neglected that,

This is not true - the govt gave Rs. 3000 crore (the asked-for amount) in aid to SII.

> They jumped at it with all hands and today account for 90% of all doses administered.

True, but it's likely that the government's commitment to buy 100s of millions of vaccines played no small part in giving them the confidence to scale up the way they did.

> India is like top 3 in the world in pharma manufacturing

True, but SII is the big daddy of vaccines. Even before Covid, they were making 60% of the entire world's supply of vaccines.

> Many companies were ready and willing to switch to vaccine manufacturing but were tied up in bureaucracy with no support from the government.

SII had the capability and capacity, and committed to deliver the quantity as well. They had started manufacturing Covishield in the millions as early as November 2020 or so. Bharat (Covaxin) had a fully developed vaccine. Under the circumstances, why would the government (or any other buyer) risk spreading itself thin over many different suppliers instead of going with those which already had a product in hand?

From what I've seen Tesla is trying to push through this factory from land acquisition to first production at an extraordinarily fast pace.

These projects usually take many years and Tesla tried to basically do it in one and is annoyed that it is stretching out to two.

In the big picture 2-3 years to get a new large auto factory online is pretty normal. There are definitely some parallels to SpaceX in Boca Chica, TX. They both are hitting regulatory delays, but stepping back it seems they are the result of intentionally trying to "move fast and break things" with their development timelines.
Hi Hussam. I really like the hTime idea! The compelling perspective on this, for me, is to see it as a planetary frame of reference for thinking about time. Of course there is UTC but we don't casually and habitually speak about UTC because it involves "conversion" (between our own TZ and UTC) and "disambiguation" (what what, are we talking about UTC here? gotta check the TZ, ah, yes). The way your hTime differs is that it uses new a new alphabetic nomenclature for the global time, so it carries the signal right on its face that it is this new system. Definitely a subtle point, but I think a reasonable one. It'll be great when hTime "faces" for smart watches are available. That would speed adoption by making it easier for people to start "living" in planetary time. Personally, I'm all about this planetary cognitive context in my own work, so I have sympathy for the challenges you're dealing with landing the message of the value that hTime offers. Good luck and keep it up, it's an important innovation.

Plaid Pushes into Payments Business After Scuttled Visa Deal
Somewhat tangential to the article, but here's what I would like: A site like reddit, but you have to get your government ID verified when you sign up.

You can still pick any alias you want, but mods see your location within, say, 100 miles.

Imagine reddit with no bots, banning has consequences, and local subreddits can actually just be people who live there.

The painful sign up flow makes that totally unreasonable, but it would vastly improve my online community experience to live without bots and more limited trolls.

*edit to clarify* -- i don't want them to _have_ my ID, just use some kind of service from stripe or visa or whoever where they get a hash, so that banning is stickier.
I think that questions is interesting because...

If you are standing in front of someone who makes 5x or 10x what you do, or vice-versa, you probably know it. I know a group of doctors/lawyers who each make 100X what I do. Literally, they are like super rich with investments and properties and the like. Under all normal circumstances, we would not meet up at a party, or be hanging out in the same "store" for example.

My point is, normally, people that make that much more or less than you typically do not dwell in your social circles.

None of them would ask me what I make. I would never ask them what they make.
How do they "own" it exactly?

They do influence the development of ethereum, however what's great about blockchain is that the community can "fire" the developers and choose new ones if they want. This almost happened after the DAO rollback drama in-fact.

Hmm where I am Uber and taxis are interchangeable. Except when it's a high demand time (event or something) when you're more likely to get an Uber because of the demand surcharge.

I’m generally a very transparent person. My wife considers me an over sharer. There was a time when I thought it was silly to keep secrets like your salary. However, over the years I’ve seen much more harm than good come from sharing my salary with others. This includes people in the industry because not everyone is at the same level.

Here are some examples that taught me to keep my mouth shut:

One time I met a friend at church who was also an engineer. I thought it would be fun to invite them to my house some time to hack and collaborate on a side project. It became clear pretty quick that we would not work well together although we could still make great friends. At one point he asked me how much I make. Being a fellow software engineer I didn’t even hesitate to tell them. Their reaction made me very uncomfortable. They were so surprised and they started commenting on how expensive my place is (I was renting a couple rooms in someone else’s house at the time so it didn’t seem extravagant to me). A few weeks later I was at church talking with some friends outside and someone comes up from behind and starts telling, “Don’t talk to this guy! You can’t afford him! Trust me! You can’t afford him”. He was attempting to be funny and possibly even compliment me or brag for me. However it made me extremely uncomfortable and it changed the dynamic of a great conversation we were having prior. One that wasn’t about me at all and I didn’t appreciate the sudden subject change.

Another time a friend asked me my salary when I was helping them with their non profit website. When I told them they were floored. They brought it up every time I ever saw them going forward. It seemed so odd that I just stopped hanging out with them.

Both of these stories are from almost a decade ago on a startup salary that most people on HN would think was very low. It’s just such a different world than outside our industry still.

On the other hand, I’ve also used levels.fyi to help encourage friends and family members to get into software if they express interest but want to know what to expect.

I do let people know but the list of people I’m transparent with is very very small now.

The vast majority of general aviation aircraft fly with 1950s technology air-cooled engines that also require 100 octane "low-lead" gasoline as certified. That includes Cessnas built in the 2000s. It's not just old planes like the DC-3.
