That's correct, the stock market uses information from the present to make a determination about the future. Hertz isn't buying Teslas because they are engaged in charity, they are doing it because they likely came to the conclusion that it's cheaper, or more optimal in some sense, to have a fleet of electric vehicles over ICE vehicles. Unless Hertz made a grave miscalculation, one can expect other vehicle rental companies to come to the same conclusion, along with other companies/industries that maintain large fleets of vehicles.

This move further entrenches Tesla in the electric vehicle space, along with all other related technologies (electric charging, insurance, battery technology, etc etc...). The truth is that most other car companies are just not well positioned to transition to electric vehicles.
I'm not sure about the speed and schedule of adoption, but I believe that SWIFT systems across the world (including USA!) are migrating towards ISO 20022 messages which has technical support for characters outside US-ASCII; and requirements such as these are a driving factor to migrate away from the earlier SWIFT MT standards.
I’ve been calling this a scam since day one. And the founder has been trying to promote anti-college sentiment. It just needs to die.
The EFF appears not to publish board minutes, nor to have posted its constitution or charter to its site (but does advocate for transparency)

Are board minutes considered private? What is the logic behind not posting the constitution, that sounds odd...
Flatmap calls into user-defined profiles in 2 places: first when processing each input element to map it to a vector tile feature, then a second time right before emitting all vector features in a layer.

That second call lets you manipulate vector features on each tile using JTS geometry utilities (i.e. merge nearby polygons or lines with the same tags). PostGIS uses GEOS which is ported from JTS so you have access to pretty much the same geometry utilities - often with the same name.

It's definitely not as flexible as a PostGIS based solution - especially if you join faraway features that don't appear on the same tile, but in practice it was enough to port the entire OpenMapTiles schema.

See the basemap layers package: https://github.com/onthegomap/flatmap/tree/main/flatmap-base... for example see the landcover layer https://github.com/onthegomap/flatmap/blob/main/flatmap-base... which was ported from the SQL contained in https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles/tree/master/lay...

Also, this OpenMapTiles PR might help improve your existing pipeline after it gets merged: https://github.com/openmaptiles/openmaptiles-tools/pull/383

Nowadays, not everyone who trades options in a personal account understands the risks.

It's not interest and it's not guaranteed yield. It's yield enhancement. You are exchanging one reward for another, without totally attenuating the risk. You can lose money if the stock falls below your purchase price minus the premium collected.

Collecting interest can be risky too, but it's a question of default rather than price action.

Some candidates also can get into this “word salad” mode, where they just talk and talk, and don’t listen to what you are saying. They have their script and talking points and just go on autopilot, filling every silence with words and words. You can give them obvious hints and cues: “Just give me the simplest answer and we will go from there!” …and they launch right back into 5 more minutes straight of talking.

As an interviewer, I have to manage our time appropriately so we can get into all the questions, and will sometimes even have to firmly say “STOP TALKING. Unfortunately we need to move on to the next question.”

It's been on the decline since 1776
My PowerPC G4 PowerBooks have that.
Kudos, it works and thee source code is a beautiful read.

Thanks so much for sharing!
This complicated decoding makes a pipeline longer. This means that in case of branch misprediction there would be a large penalty.
Love it. I'll be reaching for my wallet tomorrow. Thanks for making this!
I ended up Tailscale for Wireguard myself. I was really worried about letting all these server software out on the wide open internet because I can't guarantee I'll be around 24/7 to monitor in case of a security problem and this way I can be lazier. :)

The added benefit is that I can force all devices to use PiHole while connected to Tailscale and have DNS-adblocking on the go!
Lake Titicaca in Peru which is 12,500 feet above sea level and it sits in a sedimentary basin that was apparently below sea level at some time in the past since the lake is made up of diluted salt water.
If TSLA was 'very forward-looking', it wouldn't be so volatile. People are just gambling on stock value. Nothing more, nothing less.
I dislike how in Visual Studio, hiding a sidebar or bottom panel requires closing every tab, or marking every "split" as autohide. And showing the sidebar requires reopening every tab, or marking every pane as docked. And you have to do this separately in edit and debug mode.

Jetbrains does okay, since you can use Shift+Esc to hide a panel (I prefer VSCode having separate shortcuts to hide the left sidebar and bottom panel).

Qt Creator comes pretty close to working well (having to switch between CMake/build/stdout viewers is annoying, but it's also bad in JetBrains). But I dislike how when I enter debug mode in Qt Creator, I sometimes get a debugging bottom panel over a stdout bottom panel, leaving not enough room to read my code. Then I have to mash Esc to (unfocus the Find bar, close the Find bar,) close the stdout panel, and then stop mashing (because if I press it again, I'll exit debugging mode).
I call it bullshit because a lot of Basque names+surnames could pass the 30 char limit with ease.
Even server market is small compared to mobile.
> c) "I don't like the website that posted it"

It's not the only reason, but it is definitely one. It's part of a kind of "baloney detection kit", inspired by Carl Sagan; or something like the Crackpot Index. You should of course assess claims made by people in circles and websites frequented by cranks, but bear in mind mostly cranks post in those websites.

Likewise, if you read claims in websites where UFO conspiracy theories often post, you may find a nugget of truth, but it'd be healthy to keep a strong dose of skepticism. Reasonable people don't post in UFO conspiracy sites; likewise with LessWrong.
Your name isn't unpronounceable, people are just lazy.

And this isn't someone "being offended", this is a legal requirement of the GDPR to accurately record someone's name.

Not sure what the implication is here?
The market for retail as a category is way larger than the market for personal vehicles. Tesla is valued at a price that implies that the majority of cars being produced will be from Tesla.

It's a dumb tech stock multiple except the marginal cost of another car isn't zero like it is for a salesforce instance.
The only thing that's tempted me when it comes to automation is whole-house light dimming past a certain hour. But AFAIK that would require buying a whole bunch of really expensive bulbs (or, otherwise, re-wiring a bunch of stuff), so I've passed on it for now.

If you get used to candle or other low-power nighttime lighting, typical house lighting seems obnoxiously bright. I'm convinced it's a major contributor to the sleep troubles that, it seems, nearly everyone in the modern "West" has. It's way more light than you need to get around, play board games, play or listen to music, read, et c. It's like we're trying to make our houses as bright as they are in daytime, which seems like it'd have to be really bad for sleep.

I'd just put dimmer bulbs in all around and forget about automation, but I kinda do want the daytime-like brightness for at least 2-3 hours after sundown, in Winter, or the option to turn it back to full brightness if I've got people visiting and they don't like it (it's not that way so you like it, it's that way so you get sleepy when you're supposed to—but whatever)
Haha. Having Hertz as a customer is a huge validation for Tesla. It means other rental fleets will be asked questions about electrification. It also means a bunch of people will test drive Teslas - people who wouldn't otherwise look at it. The car sells itself, because it is great.
Yeah, if the future is for Tesla to integrate more storage solutions for the grid with renewables... There is logic in being bullish. Large-scale energy storage is probably one of the most critical sectors not solved of the green energy effort.
Does anyone here have 2x10km of fiber optics handy? We could put a monochromatic light in one end of each spool, and then look at the the interference pattern as we recombine the beams after their 10 km trip through the fibers... then change the height of one of the two spools by a few CM... while keeping everything carefully at constant temperature, to see if a phase shift occurs.
Facebook has the data to explain.
I think it's more that the $4B Hertz order is a big vote of confidence from a big rental car player that signals a higher likelihood of all the other big rental car companies (since this made the news, I'm assuming other big rental car companies haven't done so, or at least on that scale, at least for an "ordinary" vehicle, since a quick search shows you can rent a Model S from Enterprise, but only from their Exotic's section) to follow suite, and a potential ensuing continuous revenue flow for Tesla as these rental cars end their life-cycles and need to be replaced. Of course these are all just possibilities, essentially bets.
not to mention that we're speaking of colonists who intentionally set out to genocide the native population on a regular basis. and most were slavers, putting the lie to any talk of freedom. in the end, little mattered to them in that revolution than removing English fetters on themselves. that people identify with a group that would almost certainly would have denied them the right to legal personhood and look to them as guarantors of freedom only speaks to their historical illiteracy.
I was hoping someone would mention this.

Shoving everything into a sub-menu made device statuses invisible and involved extra clicks to interact with them. It's user-hostile design.
You could use US Intl. keyboard layout and use RAlt+z/l/w for æ/ø/å. If you have a QMK Firmware keyboard you could even reprogram it to use Alt + '/;/[ to send these keys and you'll have æ/ø/å in the usual position.
> It actually had a 9600-baud serial link between the computer and the screen, which was run by a separate CPU you couldn't reprogram without an EPROM burner.

Such a missed opportunity… it’d be easy to set up a memory-based terminal to be read/written at QBUS speed… It could have a serial keyboard, as those were relatively abundant, and a composite monochrome output.

It’d make a world of difference. And they could sell it to DEC customers who used PDP-11’s as technical workstations. If there were companies using IBM 1130’s connected to 2250’s, there has to be someone who used PDP-11’s…
Wow, really? OK, now I'm actually excited.
USSR was something else, more akin to oligarchic theocracies: a state where the means of production are owned collectively by the ruling elites. So party functionaries enjoyed a significantly better standard of living - the higher in the hierarchy, the better - but all of that was strictly conditional on being in the party (and helping maintain that state of affairs).

In comparison, Imperial Rome had full-fledged private property, and it was entirely possible to be rich outside of politics, or for a politician to retire and still make use of all the capital accumulated by their application of power.

(One could also reasonably argue that this is why USSR was ultimately dismantled from the inside by the very bureacrats who ruled it: they all wanted to secure their slice of the pie.)
As if ATT gets on the line with end-users to debug site-specific issues!

Aggregate data usage is one thing, but retaining any kind of detailed logs on where one goes or how much data was used on a specific site is unnecessary for the base provisioning of network connectivity.
My biggest fear is that nothing comes of this. The elected representatives of Missouri are making accusations that should be laughed out of court.
Are all features available on all recent Macs (Intel + M1)? iirc there were some features that there were some exclusive M1 features to come, but also overheard rumors that they'd still roll out on "old" Intel Macs.

Edit: Apparently some features are indeed M1 only. Those features are

- portrait mode in FaceTime

- apparently the new Apple Maps design

- the interactive globe

Seems like the most important features (for me it's livetext) are available on both architectures.
I want to thank you and the team for developing and improving this project. I used it early on to prototype a system based on Raspberry Pi's and AWS. It is very easy to build on and the library of integrations is great.
I like how NSO simultaneously claims they "hav nothing to do with the software after it's sold" but can also "shut down the software at any time, we have the technology".

So pegasus operators probably have some sort of licensing data that gets sent. Either way this is no different than them selling guns to terrorists and then being like, "but they said they were going to use the guns to FIGHT terrorism. No way we could have predicted that. Whoopsie-daisy!"
My Cave Paintings
Wikipedia tells me that the Lascaux Cave contains “nearly 6,000 figures, which can be grouped into three main categories: animals, human figures, and abstract signs.” Hell, I can do that. Maybe not 6,000 of them, but I’m working on it. Welcome to my cave. Try not to breathe on this stuff. That’s why the authorities closed Lascaux to the public: Visitors’ exhalations caused black mold to grow on the walls, and degraded the artwork. I’d hate for that to happen to this newsletter.
If there are words on the screen and the TV show talks about and explains the words on the screen, the kid is reading and being taught to read, no?
If it wasn't a compilation error it would have been something else to cover up an unconscious bias or a 'gut feeling'. Basically seeking out the evidence, no matter how weak it is, to fit the 'crime'.

I wouldn't believe anyone who said they've never been there. For all the times you're told to trust your gut, there are plenty more times where your gut is just plain wrong and you have to go against it.
Wait until an entire parking garage of Teslas goes up in flames, let's see if the stock price budges then...
Why aren't the insurance industry more active about this?!

As long as you use something like the official PSU and don't connect particularly power-hungry USB devices to it you should be fine.

As far as the SD card goes you can boot off an external hard drive or SSD via USB and that should guarantee longevity.

My biggest problem with headless Pis was that they would randomly disconnect from the wifi network and disappear, turning off power saving on wifi didn't solve it. In the end the real solution ended up being to just create a 2.4ghz-only network and connect them to that. Somehow they just don't play well with networks that have the same SSID for 2.4 and 5ghz on my Ubiquiti gear.
It is, but TSLA has been like this since 2014-ish? They do well on one product and the market automatically thinks they'll make the next one even better.

Also, because it's sentiment-driven, it's very volatile. Nothing wrong with trading on sentiment, as long as you know that's what you're doing.
I think it's a good thing though. Parents could watch with their kids and still enjoy it. From what I've seen of today's children's programming, it's not very enjoyable for the parents. I guess it doesn't really matter, most parents just give their kids a tablet.
Does anyone have insight into what the primary disagreements were between Gilmore and the rest of the board?

It looks like there is subtext that there was a contentious issue they couldn't agree upon, I wonder what it is.
Kind of a big annoyance if your hotel does not have chargers though. Especially if you already booked it.
Google is also censoring a large list of search terms when used in combination with reddit. For example, you'll get zero results for "site:reddit.com underage".
The solar business is basically dead. Tesla is a car company that builds electric cars until it shows otherwise.
Actually data shows that adults are way better at learning languages than children. Children just have 100s of hours of doing nothing besides learning languages so they succeed faster in calendar time. If you spent all day every day learning a language you’d be way faster at it than your kids.
Isn't Solar City just a trainwreck? From the acquisition which looked almost entirely like Elon bailing out his brother's business, to all manner of customer complaints now about fragile installations that are having maintenance and reliability issues and people being unable to get that dealt with because everyone involved keeps passing the buck...
This will be a 11 figure project, if not 12. That's fine if Bezos is paying for it, but it's a lot of dosh if the taxpayer is.

For 9 figures you could take a Starship, kit it out on Earth, launch it into LEO and land it 6 months later, replenish supplies, swap experiments and launch again.
Thanks for finally providing me with the source to this piece of wisdom that's been stuck in my head since I was a kid reading through some programming book I had. It's really stuck with me and I've been repeating it ever since, but I could never remember the attribution, just that I saw this quote in a book! I can't quite remember the book, but it was something like "Programming games with C++" and it came with a CD with a demo of Visual C++ 6.0 on it. Must have been around 2002-ish...
We (Optimal Agriculture) have built an autonomous growing system for high-tech greenhouses and have achieved 'superhuman' performance in a recent tomato trial. We collect a bunch of sensory data about the crop and growing environment, run cloud-based optimisation, and then control the actuators of the greenhouse autonomously (lighting, screening, heating, cooling, irrigation, etc). We are turning $100M greenhouse facilities into IoT-connected-devices and then building an intelligence layer on top.

We are now building a commercial-scale facility in the US which will produce 50,000kg of fresh produce daily. And then we will scale from there.

Our goal is to accelerate the deployment of new greenhouses around the world to increase the availability of healthy locally-grown food and to secure our food system for the future.

If you want to find out more about us or generally want to geek out on tommies then give me (founder) a shout: david@optimal.ag
I suspect the upcoming HW need of XR metaverse is in the foveal rendering required for low latency retina resolution immersive HMD. For cost/weight/power that probably means eye-tracking, which is gold standard for ad tracking and marketing attention metrics.

Give away the hardware to high status college students and sell their attention metrics to advertisers. Very FB! Of course you need content too, but users can provide that, right?
I agree that the cases of power and displays were very badly handled, but how often does this happen in practice? Your laptop came with a power cord, and if you pick up the wrong one, most retailers are really good about returns. And who needs a collection of display cords?

For 90% of use cases any old cord will work. The edge cases sting for sure but overall the design of the plug is a huge win.
Nice, after looking at all the other bash attempts I learned about ncal today.

I have my pet peeves I would love to change. But they are mostly not close to kernel or "OS" level; rather they are UI quirks.
I suppose because searches sometimes feel partially like thoughts and partially like actions. They also mentioned "names" and not just phone numbers. In any case, names/phone numbers/addresses are often ambiguous, so it's trawling in things that don't feel like probable cause.

There's also a screenshot of one warranted search in the article that had no names/addresses/phone numbers. They wanted everyone that searched for combinations of "cardboard", "bomb", etc: https://i.dailymail.co.uk/1s/2021/10/06/15/48837793-10063665...
That's very "thought crime" to me.

Pre-internet, it feels like a warrant for anyone that ran their finger down page xyz of the phone book.
Learning an additional, "learning language", be it a real language like Pascal or an entirely conceptual/theoretical language like pseudocode or flowchart is the only way to become a programmer.

Programming is a very particular and abstract way to look at performing a task and most people need to be eased into it, trained to think like a computer.

This ideea that you can take a shoe salesman, make them "proficient" at JavaScript, and let them loose in the job market is a bit strange. It might work for a very limited number of people with an knack for it, but most people I've seen will approach the task as some sort of incantation of magic formulas that make the computer work. When the complexity of the task exceeds what can be achieved with magic formulas, they give up in frustration.
None? I've had this for a long time with no issues. That's weird. I'm on it now listening to spotify, reading WaPo and browsing HN. What sites complain? I'll try it?
I miss the times when the EFF and the ACLU would both do what's right 100% of the time, instead of doing what's fashionable. I think there's a trend here.
That's as much a one Vietnam, or two Ukraines.

What is that "but does advocate for transparency" even supposed to mean? EFF is not a government, it doesn't have to be transparent at all.
Names, phone numbers, addresses.
I think I agree with you, but my reading of Tolstoy was that his position was more absolutist: the Great Man didn't matter at all, and someone else would be in his place if he wasn't there and that person would make the same decisions with the same results. His metaphor was a herd of sheep that wandered randomly this way and that, and that through the lens of history we look at whichever sheep was at the leading edge of the direction the herd was moving at the time as a "great leader," because the rest of the sheep seemed to be following that sheep.

I do agree that we make a "Great Man" to be much more than they are: that the achievements we ascribe to them would be impossible without support, work, and desire by a great number of people for the thing the leader wants to do, and that this leader can't unilaterally substantially change the course of history without immense support.

Where I disagree is the idea that that person is completely inconsequential; that a similar person would rise just the same, given the circumstances of the time, and that the results would be of no difference.

I'm open to the idea that Tolstoy was just taking an absolutist approach as a method of rhetoric and that he didn't actually believe that leaders have no consequence.
What is logical is massive amounts of leverage in the form of call options results in a gamma ramp. Option dealers bought anywhere from $50B to $100B of Tesla today. Such a tremendous injection of capital must affect the price.

Gamma ramp down will be equally massive.
