I've read it more recently, and he did mean it literally. I've cut this together because it's far too long to quote en masse, but the full thing is at [1]

Desperate for something to feed my jones, I snaffled my other sister's
abandoned flute. And wow! I was a natural...immediately better with it than
with the guitar I'd been hacking at for months. [...] This was delightful but
mystifying. All I'd had to do was learn to play a scale, and this amazing river
of music poured forth with barely an effort on my part. It seemed almost as
though my hands and lips had always known what to do, had been waiting for me
to pick up the flute. [...] I got these stunning rushes of pure timeless joy,
when my consciousness seemed to expand outwards from the limits of my skin to
fill the universe and I could no longer tell whether I was playing the music or
the music was playing me. Nor were these effects just going on inside my own
head. [...] I was walking home, idly puzzling over this peculiar incident, and
damn near fell over when I finally got it. That girl had been trying to cope
with a theophany; she had looked at me and seen a god. A particular god. And I
knew, suddenly, with utter shattering certainty, which one it was. And that it
probably was not the first time I had inadvertently triggered such an
experience, and would almost certainly not be the last. [...] Not that I took
any of it seriously as a description of the real world. It was an intellectual
chew-toy, perhaps at best a way of understanding the pathologies that prevented
human beings from living the infinitely more desirable life of reason and
science. Until I realized, finally, belatedly, what had been happening to me.
Until the Great God Pan reached out of my hindbrain and thundered "YOU!". And
his gift is music and his chosen instruments the pipes and flutes. And his, too
the power of joy; magic so strong that when it flowed out of me, even before I
knew what I was doing, it amazed people into awe and incoherence and poetry.
[...] (And, oh, yes. The first time I handled a set of pan-pipes I could play
them. Fluently. Effortlessly. And knew I could before I touched them.)

By my interpretation, the empty set would cover no users, not all of them.
Same approach I take in a research group in computational biology. Our datasets are often around the ~1-10 million rows range so those get processed in R or the command line. But often the summary analysis fits into a single page in excel.

I personally make my notes in markdown, but when I share them with others I convert to word docs or html because it’s not fair to make others deal with my raw text when it is so simple to format it for them.
It's amazing looking back that Spider Man was a recurring Electric Company character:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tM22mzqWUec

Morgan Freeman narrating a silly Spider Man comic book / live action mashup is surreal and hilarious. And incorporating the reading part is subtle and most kids watching don't realize it's meant to teach them to read.

I used to watch the Electric Company just waiting for the Spider Man segment, back before there was limitless Spider Man movies and cartoons available on Disney+.

And it's impressive that Marvel lent one of their most valuable pieces of intellectual property to an educational effort. But it probably helped them marketing the character and merchandising efforts.
Their CMS is trash though. Treasure throve of bugs and issues, especially if you sync your stuff to it. Not to mention 10k limit across all projects even on Enterprise plan, non negotiable.
Incredible move today in $TSLA.

I believe Apple was the first trillion-$ US-listed company and made it in August 2018 - 38 years after its listing.

TSLA accomplished the same feat in 11 years...

That obviously says something about TSLA... but also a $trillion isn't what it used to be. We'll be seeing more trillion-dollar companies in the coming years thanks to inflation.
What are you talking about? The court ruled in favor of the administration in the first case, and against it in the second one. The administration complied after the second decision. This is how checks and balances work.
HAHAHAHA, articles about Fauci torturing dogs flagged across HN.

We get this instead.
A company doesn't have to be a Hasbro monopoly to be guilty of illegal anti-competitive behavior. Take the alleged collusion between Google and Facebook that was revealed recently: does it matter if Facebook or Google are monopolies or not? Hell no! It's illegal as hell (allegedly) whether they're multi-billion dollar companies or struggling startups.

> Our unique Stream2own model splits the cost of a digital download into 9 plays.

> Plays start off cheap when you're discovering and as you fall in love with a song, you come to pay the full price.

> There's no transition out of Resonate to buy a song or album. Purchase it directly, or just keep listening.

I'd be interested in seeing how the 9 plays number was derived, or a deeper discussion or article more than what's on the linked page. This is an interesting model, I hope it works out the way the creators intended.
Some of it would need to be runtime checks to be fully consistent and unsurprising, I think.
I can be not offended and still feel it to be petty.

When FB came out I thought, who puts their name on the internet? This is going to end badly.
"Teamster" yeah I heard that a lot. Teamster is mostly dead. They (companies hiring / employing drivers) kind of destroyed the reasonable union and saved a dollar, only to their own demise.
No, like the phrase "I don't remember how to count that low", I've pretty much only heard it used ironically to poke fun at how infrastructure can complicate simple use cases.

Want to host a 1PB dataset, globally available with enough failover to handle a moderately large nuclear war? Easy! Want to throw up a 200KB web page with best-effort reliability? Surprisingly complicated.
Nextdns works on both cellular and wifi. They have a profile you can download so it’s definitely possible but maybe not through the GUI.
It doesn't have to make sense, market cap is a flimsy meaningless value... If everyone holding TSLA tried selling at this price, a small fraction would manage to execute orders at that price before it plummetted.

The thing that doesn't make sense is treating (number of shares * last executed order price) as anything more than just that.
My point is that saying iPhone users are by default AT&T users rests on the assumption that people have stuck with the same decisions they made about mobile network and phone operating system that they made over a decade ago. That isn't even factoring in the growth of the market overall and the people who have bought their first smartphone within the last decade.

There is no need to turn this into an argument by suggesting that somehow WhatsApp banned its engineers from getting together. That never happens, ever. We are obviously discussing scheduled meetings and scrums.

By the way, this is mentioned here:

Hertz: Places order for $4 billion worth of cars

Tesla: Market value increase by $100 billion

Yup, this is all very logical.

Edit: Guys, we all know the term "Future Value", we all also know its a purposely undefined buzzword you can fit any insanity you want into. Virtually everything a company does adds "Future Value", the question is "How much Future Value".

Does selling $4B of cars really signal an entire General Motors worth of value on top of their already insane "Future Value"?
> Is doing something that the Supreme Court may later overturn--and bear in mind it was a close decision--actually "illegal"?

It's not illegal at all. Making it illegal would never work in practice.

It is however supposed to be politically embarrassing and should in theory hurt your party.

However right now, in practice, due to the polarized two-party shit show that is US politics at the top level, it doesn't matter. The constituents haven proven to lack both will and tools to hold their elected representatives accountable, who in turn have learned they can get away with pretty much anything.

What could they have done to avoid a president who would behave that way? Elect Trump? Hah.

Not for long.

TikTok is going to eat the world. They'd be stupid not to.
The if-expression and if-statement are different things.

if-statements result in conditional execution of different statements, but do not return values themselves. Borrowing C's syntax for if statements the following is not allowed:

int next = if (odd(current)) { 3*current + 1; } else {current / 2;};

That's not a valid expression in C.

if-expressions return a value, and C does have an if-expression with its ternary operator:

int next = odd(current)? 3*current + 1 : current / 2;

if-statements are ubiquitous to nearly every programming language. Even when they aren't done with the if keyword and more familiar syntax, even unstructured languages with conditional branching instructions and goto permit you to write something like an if-statement (just disguised by the usually more verbose unstructured form).

if-expressions are less universally available (though I'm unsure of any higher-level-than-assembly language still in popular use that doesn't have an if-expression equivalent).
Every time I read about a coding bootcamp, it comes off as, if not outright fraud, then at the very least sleazy and deceptive.

It's not an illegal rule until the Supreme Court actually makes a ruling. The Supreme Court does not determine Law merely by speaking.
> I mean it’s theme-park food so you can’t expect too much from them.

It doesn't have to be that way. Compare the range of restaurants at Tivoli in Copenhagen [1].

You can even spend $150 all at once, if you pick the set menu with basic drinks at Gemyse [2].

This is an extreme example, but American theme parks are missing a trick if the only options are fast-food style. With better options, mum and dad can eat in a nice restaurant, leaving the kids to take the rides.

Monopoly over what? How does FB force users to use their products over their competitors?

I recall CRT TVs being extremely unreliable. We had to take ours into the shop all the time, especially in the 70s and 80s.

As I recall, they were becoming more reliable in the 90s, and I rarely had to have mine serviced. But my current TV (a plasma TV) is 10 years old with no servicing at all. Perhaps I just got lucky with my Panasonic?

To be sure, when it does have a problem, it will certainly be unrepairable. But while flat screen TVs are nearly impossible to repair, they seem very reliable to me, perhaps because they're solid-state.

As usual, keep in mind that Tesla shares are very forward-looking. Their current quarterly performance was probably priced in around 2018 and at this point the price is assuming they'll be the largest car manufacturer (they've said they want to do 20 million units by 2030). Given their relative performance over the last few quarters compared to legacy OEMs, it's not very hard to believe.

There's also various other bits priced in already - parts of FSD, utility-scale storage. I don't think the Tesla Bot is priced in yet.
yeah that's not correct sorry
You used to be able to use it as a way to create a free self-managing SMS distribution list. Pretty cool, before I had phone with data capabilities.

That was even a use case I understood. Now I feel too old to understand how to use twitter. But that can't be it. Much older people seem to have no problem.
> My own read. Facebook is fighting for - and likely losing - the attention of younger users.

100% agree. Mark's seen the numbers and he knows the demographic ship is sailing. That's why he's leaning so heavily into Metaverse. He wants his company to compete in 3D/VR/AR/games.
I see it more cynically. It's more likely to be that if you don't return it on a full charge then you will face a hefty recharge fee.
I think this would work well in places like Norway where electricity and water is cheap and people are used to food being expensive already.
And what would you say for the behemoth that is $AAPL?

We have had better iPhones for 10+ years … and maybe the iPad, Watch and Airpods… this from the richest gizmo company.. No Apple Car… Pervasive Health product is a long way from the current watch

Now tell me again about $TSLA valuation ?!
>Sure, you'd get pretty mad if every time you get robbed the police searches your vehicle but they don't need to break anything and you will get over it.

Or I'll stop calling the police, especially if that first invasive experience doesn't end with my belongings returned.
Again, how does this connect with why Whatsapp won as an app?

Consumers didn't follow this logic. At all. They went for the convenient and free option.

I'm so confused by this thread. It's like you guys are pasting the output of an ML model with only the input "secure" at me.
Your comment (especially the colloquial use of the word "literally" as emphasis) implies that I didn't address the existence of that photo, but I did when I said "scroll down to see photos that actually demonstrate its size". Your comment and subsequent lack of clarification ("Yes.") is confusing and has the appearance of rudeness, but I can't guess why you would want to use that tone (if it's on purpose).
That is dangerously incorrect. Successful autorotation requires high inertia rotor systems with controllable blade pitch. Small rotors like on this Jetson don't have anywhere near enough inertia, and it looks like they're running fixed pitch props. The type of motor is irrelevant as long as the motors can be de-clutched from the rotors.

Those do not define authoritarian, unless you redefine the word. By the new definition, everything but anarchy is 'authoritarian'.
The fact that not everyone is going to sell at once is built into the price.
Reason for it not being a compelling system aren't inherently obvious to most people:

Games are developed currently to run on x86 Windows machines. Predominantly Windows machines. If the game is designed to run on MacOS, then more likely you'll see a performant experience. The issue isn't inherently architecture or Apple's chips, it's the lack of software choices available on the platform. Though you can now argue that Apple's platform has increased significantly due to the compatibility with the App Store bringing games from mobile to the desktop.

Gamers would like to play the games they've bought (or free to play that they've dedicated time to) on platforms those games support, and most of those games do not support MacOS, or Linux.
However, with Proton emulation, and EasyAC & BattlEye now working with Valve to improve Anti-Cheat on Linux, we may see a greater compatibility with the aforementioned systems enabling cross-platform play.
It's primarily TikTok and Instagram.
Your Law of Optimization reminds me of the (often popularly ignored) denominator in the famous e = m c^2 equation.

I believe the full version has a (1 - (v/c)^2) denominator on the right side; I think the Lorentz transformations motivate this.

The upshot matches your observation in spirit: the closer you get to the optimum (the celeritas/speed of light) the more energy you require.
There were a number of 'media' laptops that had "i.Link" ports (advertised that way by Sony), but you still had to buy adapter cables for it. It was a little bit of a mess but you could make it work.

Yeah, I bought a house not far from a Costco. I don't hit the food court every day, but I pretty much only buy Costco gas.
It’s not just EVs though, Tesla is going to vertically integrate and parlay a lot of their EV tech into general energy solutions. The gigafactories and solar installations are the future imo, the cars are the side show.
I migrated away from cloudflared to dnscrypt-proxy because cloudflared didn't start up properly for me. On each reboot I had to manually stop and start it otherwise it was flooding the logs with failures. It was a bit weird and frustrating to diagnose.

>To me (again, as a crazy anti-car person), the negligence was in ever thinking you could operate a car for 40 straight years without eventually sending some kid to the hospital.

Any rational person would not expect to send someone to the hospital, based simply on the numbers.

The pedestrian fatality rate is like 2/100k per year. If you are an average (bad) driver, you are unlikely to kill anyone. Add a huge fudge factor for hospitalization vs death, and you are still very unlikely to send someone to the hospital.

Why would avoiding non-injury fender benders be the goal post? People expect to have a number of them in my life and that is why drivers have insurance.
I’m a (begrudging) TS/Node developer who has previously spent over a decade in the .Net ecosystem, and I would like to point out that this kind of @&/%} doesn’t happen in other ecosystems.

It should not take a 3rd party like GitHub to notify you that there’s a security hole in a hugely popular package. If the NPM registry can’t do any better self-policing than they already do, they should at least start tagging packages with “verified” or “official” like Docker does.

I would also say they should start advocating for experienced developers. The “even or odd” package getting hacked should have been a call to order, but apparently it wasn’t.
Expected future value. Most rental companies haven't committed to large EV fleets. This changes things.

That said I think the current valuation is a joke.
So Tesla is now worth more than Toyota, VW, Mercedes, GM, BMW, Ford, and Exxon combined. That seems like a lot of "looking forward" to me.
Yes, and some people write an OS that is similar to Minix and won't ever be ported to anything beyond 386 and AT harddisks ;)

I really wish I could see an industry/education level cross tab. Anecdotally, we're seeing a lot of churn in tech where education levels are typically quite high, but in the data in the article, if you don't break down by sector, the numbers would suggest quit rates should be lower than normal...

There's clearly a very complex dynamic going on, here, and I have a very strong suspicion that while the macro numbers say one thing, what's going on at the ground level actually varies significantly from sector to sector, geography to geography, and demographic to demographic.
Nice, thanks! Apt timing. Easier than the grep & find commands I've been struggling with yesterday for the ua-parser-js debacle (though it's probably a virtue to know those!).
The world really needs _two_ projects, a practical one that is interoperable with the here and now, to get incremental improvements in security from bits reimplemented in Rust.

And then, in the longer term, someone ought to write a book about operating system implementation in Rust that ignores Linux interoperability and focuses on readability, maintainability by showing use of Rust's idiomatic style.
A Net Walk in the Woods
Fair point, but let's not forget the USSR was not a very mobile society. You didn't just "move" from your government-allocated apartment, if you even had one. Where you were born greatly contributed to your trajectory, especially if it was Moscow.

Education-wise, YES, the USSR was a meritocracy, way more so than the United States. My father was born in a God-forsaken Ukrainian village, and he studied in then Leningrad.

After you graduate, of course, it's different. It requires significant maneuvering in the political system and ample butt-licking to get anywhere serious.
I wonder about the intersection between nuclear-armed countries and countries at risk of disruption. Isn't it believed that North Korea either can or will be able to shortly launch nukes in Asia? I think some people even believe they're not far from ICBMs.

We're probably not close to that being a concern, but it would be better to work on before it becomes a concern.
