This is true for their normal search, but for their image search they always seem to say "results from third parties" if you click the info button.

Maybe their image search just hasn't encountered enough websites featuring the word "bird" or maybe their disclaimer is shown more often than intended, but I get the idea that image search is always done externally.
A bit different, but I’ve tried ANC headphones and earplugs, and earplugs work much better for way cheaper.
No just export, but in country controls. The government wants a monopoly.
Multiple commenters have observed that Tesla faces increasing competition from Ford, Porsche, and others. But I don't think it's obvious at all that competitors can catch up:

* Autopilot. Safe or not, autopilot is very convenient and super permissive, and owners seem to love it.

* Superchargers. Third party charger maintenance is an unsolved problem, and CCS DC fast chargers are often broken, where they exist at all. It's truly awful. Maybe the federal government will bail out Ford here with a charging infrastructure program... or maybe not.

* Status symbol. There's a reason Tesla has replaced Cadillac as a symbol of luxury in pop culture.

* The Model 3/Y itself is a smooth, luxurious and fast ride. Don't discount the car's ability to compete on the traditional merits. (Edit: this is my opinion, based on comparing a Model 3 to a 3 series as well as various Nissan cars. YMMV; it's subjective.)
Also, where is the block of salt for the death rate? It was already absurdly low without factoring in everyone that got sick, recovered easily, and never reported.

I use fish as my default user interactive shell but I still agree with you. I despise this philosophy of "configurability is the root of all evil" coming from fish and "every preference has a cost" coming from GNOME.

I think these projects are extremely opinionated and they will inevitably drive a lot of users away. Both fish and GNOME strive to provide "good" defaults out of the box but those defaults will never appeal to everyone. I ended up liking fish but I still despise GNOME and everything related to it.
> Bottom talent is stuck in low-productivity old-school employers in the Bay

The Bay Area is the world's epicenter of tech talent. It's got the biggest software companies in the world, and recruits talent from around the world with its extremely high salaries.

People working for FAANG, or Oracle, or Adobe, or a thousand other companies are some of the best devs around.

I actually work better in an office, so I drive in nearly every day. (But it's probably just the free food.)
These are actually all great examples of real "tech first" businesses that do compete and win on the basis of (among other things) the quality of their code. My point was that Under Armor, which is also on the S&P 500, sells a lot of clothes online and every dollar they save on software they can spend on R&D for fabrics etc. which is what they actually sell. I would bet that an hour long meeting with 5 software engineers and a PM so "we can agree about nested ternaries" costs as much or more than a day of prototype garment work on a new pair of socks.
That is really cool isn't it? I was awestruck when I discovered in the early 90ies that I could converse online with people in locales very, very far from me.

Not really.

I mean the iPhone did hit the shelves not long after that demo. So anyone on the street could try one out (they had physical demo units in store). Theranos wouldn't let anyone just play with their machine.

But we're talking about a company that has a track record at shipping OSes (Apple). Even if they faked the iPhone demo, it would still have been believable that Apple could write an OS for a portable device.

Bit of trivia: The Bob Morris mentioned in this and many other Multics-related articles was the father of one of the people who made the implementation of the Lisp dialect this website runs on (and, of course, one of the founders of YC).

He later went on to do more UNIX-y things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Morris_(cryptographer)

Multics was an elegant system and design kneecapped by a few ill-advised decisions and poor choice in contractors. It's worth exploring, if only for a little while.
I'm trying to make sense of this. From the content I'm going to presume you're male, otherwise you'd be discussing from a female perspective instead of speaking for a select few based upon your understanding of their world.

In either case, whether or not their perspective is to want to make room for others doesn't mean that all women feel that way. I've had quite a few talk about this exact kind of experience including former mentors and managers of mine (I've also been lucky to work for some kick ass women). They tell me that they have to prove even more, dress/act more masculine, etc to be taken seriously. This isn't just one woman who has told me this either. This is quite a few over a 15 year period.

Staying gender neutral is an easy way to create room and make it feel less skewed, especially when the context is a senior leader (aka glass ceiling). I know you did with your original they, so I'm talking more generally here rather than this specific instance. The last year has had an outpouring of people's experiences being different in all these respects, and stories in business are easy to find. This week is also the Society of Women Engineer's conference where there's talks on navigating these kinds of environments. Perhaps you might find it interesting to attend and hear. It's available virtually.

I'm not making this out to be dire.. it's quite minor. But that doesn't mean minor things don't add up when you're an outsider. Being a gay man, I've seen that change in language over time to be less presumptive. I don't get offended when people ask about my wife (they'd be right the majority of the time!), but it is nice when people make room for my spouse to not be female.
Github Codespaces is a way to do exactly that, but you have to pay for it by the hour.
This has always been the case, regardless of any Tesla involvement. This just makes the correlation between safe driving and lower cost a little less abstract.

It will be interesting to see how this develops. Will they begin selling this data? I imagine it's valuable for rental car agencies, ride-share apps, etc etc.
It looks like this is the cited report: https://hired.com/state-of-salaries-2021

Interestingly, tech workers in cities that Hired designates as "Tier 2" (Boston, LA, Seattle, Toronto) now out-earn workers in "Tier 1" cities (London, NY, SFBA).

I wonder how much of this is distributional in general - i.e., if the driver is that more experienced talent has the leverage to demand remote work (or onsite work in non-HQ cities) and the ones stuck behind in NY/SFBA are increasingly those who aren't good enough and/or senior enough to do so.

I looked up the report because I was wondering if figures were inflation-adjusted, it doesn't say but my guess is that they're not. So real wages probably went down by ~4% in those areas, compared to a pre-COVID trend of, what, +5%/year or something in real terms? That's a pretty big swing - though again, this is all probably distributional and it's unlikely that any particular tech worker (let alone all of them) really took a direct pay cut instead of a pay increase. (Ok, I actually happen to have taken a pay cut recently, but I still don't think that's representative.)

Is there a good parametric / code based CAD that's good for (amateur) house or garden design, and which runs on linux? I've used openscad in the past for simple parts prototyping, but haven't tried it for 2d work. I always found its preview kind of awkward, so I can't see it exporting or printing particularly well.

I've been learning qcad recently, which is OK, but it really wants you to make extensive use of the mouse. I feel like I could probably be just as productive by typing code and seeing a 2d plot of what I specify. Way back when I used SweetHome3d, which works pretty well for interiors, but (at least when I tried it) didn't have very many tools for exteriors.
There was a story earlier this year about a startup that had a government contract to detect crime using AI, but turned out not to actually have any AI technology, instead appearing to pass tasks to humans: https://www.vice.com/en/article/pkd7pk/banjo-ai-surveillance...
What other sort of benefit is there supposed to be? The reduction in infection and transmission risk for Delta from the vaccines is marginal at best, wanes quickly, and might well be defeated completely by future variants. If we're acknowledging that the immediate risk tradeoff might be negative, these would be the first vaccines in history that people were widely expected to take on those terms.
PS3 clusters are limited in supercomputing tasks largely by RAM, each PS3 having 256MB which is anemic.
There's like 4 subthreads in here that are all fixated on unions and how they might be evil or dysfunctional or actually just fine, even though:

- nothing in the Reuter's article says what's causing the slow downs

- the twitter thread from the Flexport CEO seems to be giving 2nd hand info that the main cause of delays currently is stuff not getting picked up _from_ the port, which may be more about the situation with trucking, and specifically he says there isn't a work slowdown at the port.

- and we _know_ that the rest of the supply chain, including warehouses and trucks are also under a lot of pressure.

So even if your people and equipment can unload ships quickly, you quickly run out of space unless customers come pick up their stuff. And that doesn't happen unless customer have both (a) trucks/drivers to pick stuff up and (b) warehouses to receive. And crap, what if they have too little warehouse space because they can't ship stuff out bc container ships are sailing back across the Pacific empty? Or because they're full of A which would ordinarily be consumed to produce C, except production has stalled because everyone's missing B because of the messed up supply chain.

The rush to blame stuff on the unions seems to distract from the actual complexities of the current situation.

Apple compared the M1 Max to a 3080m. 4x the GPU cores and up to 8x the memory makes a difference, and it wouldn't be at all surprising to see that their numbers are accurate.
Doesn't that mean that the manufacturing process is more or less a standard one? and that Panasonic has the same battery tech now?
You more or less described how Apple hype works.

The M1 is fast like a Ferrari, it's expensive and nice in the brochure but you can't take it many places in real life let alone use more than 20% of its potential.
thanks for the link to the die yield calculator, very handy!

And I agree - Apple making their own chips is sure looking good for their bottom line vs buying from Intel

Rhel on desktop makes sense for development for rhel on servers. Can’t think really of any other use case. At least they could try out centos stream? For all its hate it’s really nice for certain use cases. Although people are religiously against it (rh needs to really work on that before it dies on the vine)
It did fall, but apparently has recovered to 2019 levels already.
This is actually a real concern, as more phones have gobs of RAM thanks to sloppy coding and marketers needing more and more space.

The difference as I understand it is your Fish equivalent of a $PS1 (and other Fish shell behaviours) have to be defined via that path. If I understand it correctly, it sounds a lot like git hooks but at a global scale rather than per repo.

Now I’ve got nothing against git hooks nor Fish per se, I just don’t see this particular model for defining behaviour to be convenient (eg what if you want to quickly change the prompt of a session without affecting other sessions?)

There might be more detail I’m missing and if that’s the case I apologise. But from what I’ve read thus far I’m not sold. It might appeal to others and good for them.
So breakthrough infections are more likely for people who have been vaccinated vs people who have already caught SARS-CoV-2 and developed natural immunity. Interesting.

Still a good idea to get vaccinated to fight / reduce risk of infection.
All I wanted was an M1 that could address/use more memory. The first one could only use 16gb RAM, which was a dealbreaker for me.

Apple delivered that and so much more. I'm happy. I think there are many people like me.
Rents are still down vs peak (ref: ApartmentList historical data for SF-Oakland-Berkeley and San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara metros) but housing for sale is way, way up (9% year-over-year, 35% over 5 years).
The first iPhone demo involved bringing in a portable cell tower, hardcoding signal strength to always show 5 bars, and repeatedly swapping out phones throughout the demo because using one through the whole presentation would have caused it to crash[0].

I believe Theranos was worse in many ways, but running misleading demos to drum up hype sounds pretty par for the SV course.

Is this a good move for Microsoft? It feels like what IBM tried with OS/2: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OS/2#Windows_3.x_compatibility

IBM created a Windows compatibility layer. However, that meant that developers saw that they could write their programs once for Windows and OS/2 users would be able to use the programs. The reverse wouldn't be true. So there was little incentive to create native apps for OS/2 compared to Windows.

https://www.howtogeek.com/688970/what-was-ibms-os2-and-why-d...

> Also, OS/2 had a chicken-and-egg problem. Its best selling point was its compatibility with MS-DOS and Windows applications. However, this meant few developers took the time to write OS/2-native apps. So, why run OS/2 at all?

Do developers start believing that an Android app is enough to also court the Windows market? Android apps, even if they run "well" on Windows, won't be as well adapted to the Windows UX as apps intended for Windows. This isn't the case of Microsoft saying "you can now develop for Windows using the Android APIs." It's more, "you can now run Android apps with their phone UX (as submitted to a phone app store) on Windows."

I'm not saying that the feature won't be popular. However, it is potentially a weak strategy. Let's say that Microsoft makes Android apps on laptops/desktops popular. That makes it easier to market ChromeOS/Android-based laptops/desktops. If people see their apps as coming from Android and not Windows, why bother with the Windows license?
I’m fascinated by this because it feels like a perception thing.

Does the notch remove pixels or are you getting added pixels on both sides? What does the resolution and ratio tell us?

If it was just a black bezel all the way across nobody would be commenting.

If they make it all black unless an app can utilize it well (ie. playing a video full screen is a rectangle, rather than a rectangle with a notch cut out) I don’t see the issue.
I guess they implemented it using a html link because it's easier. They reserve the JavaScript magic for very special cases.

You can still spread while vaccinated and while it may still lower the chance, it means it would be nearly impossible to prove who you were infected by.
Additionally, where is the recourse for those who suffer from the adverse effects? Why are the pharma companies protected from lawsuits when they have so much profit from this? Maybe they should set the precedent here, and then we could hold those who don't take it accountable as well.
> For one thing, there are autos all over Paris, so at least in principle it ought to be possible to build in ways that are both highly attractive and allow for cars.

It doesn't "fool" anyone, because it's not foolish. Tesla buys Bitcoin, that's an expense. Tesla sells Bitcoin, hopefully at a profit, that's revenue. That action gets reported quarterly, which is what happened to generate this submission.

Tesla can time that to happen in specific parts of the quarter to either make its overall revenue look better or worse. It's not fake, it's not "fooling" anyone, it's just part of the balance sheet.

Companies do this all the time with non-crypto assets, crypto is just probably easier than buying/selling an office building, especially when your CEO is Elon Musk and can control the price of Bitcoin with a tweet.
I don’t know. I’m saying that custom rom use kernels that make your phone work. In the best case that involves shipping 1) the driver and firmware blobs the vendor provided while supporting the phone and 2) a kernel that is binary compatible with those blobs. Because of how Linux works, in the best case (2) is an old kernel of the same major version as the vendor shipped with the phone, with maybe some security fixes that made it into the mainline kernel or in the Android kernel. But if your stock rom has security bugs in e.g. the wifi driver, graphics driver of baseband firmware, your custom rom has those exact same bugs. Even if the custom rom is years newer than the latest vendor update.
Well that’s weird because one came about in 2008 and the other specifically exempts truckers.
I think this is their biggest challenge. I also think that companies like Ford, Toyota, etc. have centuries of combined experience of supply chain management and relationships that they can leverage. I also think that if these large companies are battery constrained, then so will Tesla, even if Tesla is able to capture more of the supply, it won't matter because customers will have to continue to go to Ford and Toyota for cars in a battery constrained world to get ICE vehicles.
It's not, at least for me. If you checked in devtools, that's gzip over the wire size. Hover over the size and it'll show you the actual resource size, still 285k for me.

A Polish relative of mine used to just gave an arbitrary substitute name (e.g. "Dave Smith") for restaurant reservations, because even if they could write his last name, they wouldn't be able to pronounce it.

My sibling has a name that has an accent, and just enters it with the plain letter most of the time. The name was once rare and "ethnic", but became popular a generation later so people know how to pronounce it regardless.

Our parents gave us two middle names, wanting to preserve our grandmothers' surnames, but also in the spirit of "Bobby Tables", having ambivalent feelings about the computerization of society tending towards inflexibility.

According to:

...misunderstanding of naming customs in the US has actually led to significant consequences due to last names not matching on legal documents.

I remember reading a story about how there are people in China whose name incorporates a character that is obscure enough, the authorities are trying to eliminate it and get them to change their name. If I recall correctly, Chinese has a particular problem with characters that are part of names that have been around forever, but are no longer used for ordinary writing.
