> They will build/sell 1000 cars this year! They should be doing that every day for this kind of evaluation.

This sort of statement doesn't really make sense. Investors don't invest based on how a company is operating today. At that point, it's basically too late. They invest based on how they believe the company will be doing in the future.

Personally, I'm agnostic about the future of Rivian, and suspect this valuation is probably way too high, but I definitely don't think that because of their current production numbers.
You wrote "One could compare police statistics with victim surveys".

On could also compare other statistics, and show that police are over-funded compared to other sorts of enforcement agencies.

The very act of picking which statistics to use is itself biased.

Simply pointing to NCVS is not going to be convincing. Which numbers should we look at? What correlations should we draw? How should we understand the biases in the interpretation? What alternative explanations are there for whatever it is you haven't actually said?

Without pointers to what what your actual point is, I figured it was just as appropriate to point out how your foundation is itself crumbled.

> China has basically been the single biggest driver of global growth over the past decade. Its highly overleveraged real estate market is a huge threat to its overall economy, and that has plenty of potential to create a massive knock-on.

I think what Western observers are missing is that this was an intentional "let fail" in order to prevent this structural weakness from becoming too big of a problem.

China is basically euthanizing this industry because they perceive it as a structural weakness.
> When something goes wrong it can easily go terribly wrong.

I encourage you to look at the numbers for yourself. The equivalent baseload power technologies are all WAY more dangerous.

Go and tally up the human casualties from nuclear over its entire history. Use the most damning numbers you can possibly find. Go ahead and include the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki if you like. Include any count of potential cancer cases too. Even using the most biased, openly political casualty counts you can find, it is challenging to get to 1.5 million over the entire history of the power source. If you stick to relatively credible sources you'll certainly be below half a million.

Now look at the human casualties from coal when it's working properly. No accidents, just regular power production. The first duckduckgo result for me estimates about 8.7 million deaths per year, not including accidents, bombs, or non fatal casualties.

The casualty rate from nuclear's entire history doesn't even approach the death rate from coal, oil, or gas in a single year.

> nuclear waste

One person lifetime of electricity creates about 350ml (about a coke can) of solid nuclear waste. We know where that waste is, and what it is doing. We can monitor and control access and keep people away from it.

In contrast, one person lifetime of coal power produces hundreds of thousands of TONS of waste, much of which is also radioactive, but lets not forget about the toxic heavy metals and carbon. Most of that waste goes into the atmosphere, where it cannot be tracked or controlled at all, and where it causes millions of deaths per year. To be fair a lot of it goes into the water and ground, too.

The fact that there are options AT ALL for nuclear waste puts it miles ahead of the competition.

Nuclear is by far the lowest carbon, safest, lowest waste universally available baseload power source ever invented. Casualties from nuclear aren't even a rounding error compared to the alternatives on the table.

You are absolutely right however, that it is highly volatile politically.

Safari itself is not open source so it's unclear how much/little they have modified WebKit and the JavaScript engine. Given that this bug involves JS (events not firing), and MacOS doing its own thing with JS, it's entirely possible that this is a Safari only bug that resides in the proprietary parts of the codebase...
Hydrofluoric acid and other "fluorinating" chemicals like chlorine trifluoride really are horrific. Most of my experience in chemistry is from a brief stint working as a student helper in an undergrad chemistry lab, and (thankfully) never encountered HF, but we were told many times just how dangerous it is.

It's been a while, but I remember the biggest danger isn't the acidity itself, not even being a strong acid, but fluorine's tendency to "deep dive". It just sort of slowly eats into things and creates layers that are comparatively hard to remove. So if you spill hydrochloric acid or whatever on yourself, you wash it off, maybe get some severe tissue damage, but it's localized and washes off.

On the other hand, the HF tends to stick around, and as a fun side-effect, the fluoride salts it creates are poisonous to the body. And HF is tame compared to some fluorine chemicals used in chip etching/production...
Assets can already rise 30% in anticipation of 5% inflation above risk-free interest for 6 years. Then you can buy in right at the time that interest rates rise to counter that inflation. Congrats you've just purchased assets that now drop due 30% due to interest rate increases at the same time you're margin loan interest increases to 5% to hold it.

In Seattle at least, Google Maps real time public transport support was way behind an app called OneBusAway which was built as a graduate project by students at the University of Washington (https://opentransitsoftwarefoundation.org/overview/history/)

I had this app for at least a year before Google Maps released similar functionality. I still use it occasionally as the UX is better if you already know what bus stop you want to use.
I can only assume you refer to "level 5" from a personal source rather than DMT-Nexus (which only has 3 levels) or PsychonautWiki (which mentions levels rather freely and goes to Levels 8+, also spreading out the descriptions into various categories).

It's going to be impossible to convince you that your subjective experience isn't an absolute truth because it seems like the entire foundation of your approach to the discussion and psychedelics is based on that assumption.
What you're entirely wrong about however is regarding the definition of science: science is (1) a set of logically consistent statements for a set of givens, and (2) meant to have its validity tested constantly in order to be invalidated so that a better fitting approximation can be found.
Science, down to basic axioms of mathematics, is not debating "Truths" but only relative truths, and is making statements that for assumption A,B,C one will observe logical results X,Y,Z, where it perpetually strives to refine the process such that more logical links can be established and any assumption that leads to incorrect/invalid/uninteresting consequences can be weaned out. When in fairly abstract fields, even those assumptions are usually also explored over time and utilized by people as they see fit (maths without ZFC, relatively quick acceptance of relativity in the world of physics, and so on).

If your insights about science as a whole are so off the mark, I'm frankly not surprised that your assertions come off the way they do. And I happen to disagree with the stance that takes refuge in absolute truths (unless its validity were to ever be proven somehow), and even the mightiest of psychedelic trips of dozens of kinds (including ridiculous doses of DMT, Changa, DOM and what have you) have not fundamentally changed a thing about it since I wasn't susceptible to that belief in the first place. That you can just come out and say "well it was simply not enough drugs you took buddy!" is much more likely to be indicative of your wish for personal bias to be a truth than any alternative. And much like with religions in general, I'll respect your right to dive into your personal belief system, but my perspective will be wildly different from yours (and perhaps not as fixated).
Agreed. It still surprises me that so many other languages fail at the fundamentals (minimal learning curve, static binaries, fast builds, reproducible dependency management, great tooling, great stdlib + ecosystem, etc) and yet many devotees of those languages have positively hyperventilated about Go's error handling and type system for 12 years. Go is finally getting generics and I'm sort of cautiously excited about it (like I was when Apple added the TouchBar to MacBook Pros), but any net benefit is going to be positively negligible in comparison to the degree in which Go raised the bar on the fundamentals.
learning some tips and tricks has made it all a lot less spooky. I hate that it's like this but it is kind of about that nowadays, for certain companies anyway. I guess they assume you have unlimited time to study, so if know enough it shouldn't be too hard. But if you are just walking in there cold as an experienced applicant, you can end up having a really bad time.
This is a good case of perfect being the enemy of better. Why should Uber (and, by extension both drivers and users) be forced to treat all users as if they are the most expensive users? Assuming that 10% (WAG) of Uber cars are currently wheelchair-accessible, and a rule like that doubles the number of wheelchair-accessible Uber cars, you've cut your total supply by 80% to satisfy a small percentage of users (and in doing so made the experience worse for those users as well, because they are now competing for a smaller supply).

As someone who didn't go to school, I struggle with doing algorithms and implementing data structures in front of someone. Outside of timeboxed interviews I negotiate them fairly well, but I'm almost always seeing something for the first time. Then again, for as long as I've been in software it's always been tailored for academics. This seems to be just fine and even championed as a good thing.

My reaction is to plan my exit from the industry whenever this job comes to an end. I'll end up going back to school in my thirties, despite being qualified, because of self-imposed constraints by this industry that have little if anything to do with the tasks I'll be given or planning day to day.

> “I don't think that uber should allow drivers to use any vehicles not equipped for wheel chair transport”

Poor and handicap people will suffer more so from a price hike resulting from your suggestion — disabled people should just pay more because (1)they are taking up more time to service and (2)they receive benefits that everyone else doesn’t to compensate for such scenarios. The way it is currently setup is likely the most optimal configuration for all parties involved.
How am I abusing the data and what narrative am I claiming to have? I know the audience on HN and I know I don't need to hand-hold anyone here when presenting statistics. I even included a disclaimer for people like you.
These are micro-optimizations that aren't very meaningful.

It's more important to simply just have a car, than it is to have a car for a very specific price.

It's the same reason why people would pay $12 at an airport for what they could get in bulk for $0.50
All this "no longer ancient" means is that zip is now out of the window. Its value has been lost.

The format has been perverted, and we can't trust zip as the "just works" option that will open in any platform, with any implementation, anymore.

All because somebody thought it a good idea to try to leverage the zip name's attached popularity to try and make a new format instantly popular.

Great job. This is why we can't have good things.

The Rest of the Process

Our application process is outlined roughly below.

But, before you get there, we want to apologize in advance if this process seems...imposing. We have put considerable thought and refinement into each one of these steps in an effort to make sure our hiring process is as well crafted as our software. And just like software, hiring is a lot more complex than it might seem on the surface. Our hiring process is far from perfect (like our software), we are still learning and tweaking, but we want to assure you that each of these steps gives us crucial information regarding you and your development abilities that is essential for helping us to determine if this is a good match.

Consider this: our entire process is less than a week's worth of effort to make sure that where you spend the next 1-5 years of your life is a good fit. Isn't that worth it? Keep in mind that we have deliberately structured our process so that the earlier stages require less effort. Our hope is that if you make it to the later stages of our process, where the time commitment increases, you will have had a chance to get to know us a bit better so you can decide if the time investment on your part is worth it. We care about your time (and ours) and do our best not to waste it!

My experience with Dell's laptops, despite being supposedly ubuntu supported, would randomly restart, trackpad stopped working, and their docks wouldn't be compatible with linux.

Dell arguably did more damage: by releasing a flawed product, then the rest of the OEMs said "See? No one wants linux".
> If feels like they are trying to create a world where everything can only be good, better, even more better, which just doesn't represent reality.

It's part of a trend towards fake, cloying, passive-aggressive forced positivity across the whole industry. It's a California thing.

Time was, if you didn't like a bit of code, you could say so. Nowadays, you have to wrap criticism in right zillion levels of disingenuous praise before you can even start getting to the point -- and the you get fake "thank you for the excellent feedback!!!!1!!" typed with gritted teeth and fantasies of backstabbing later on.

I've always found the in-your-face New York style more genuine, more honest, more efficient, and ultimately, kinder and more respectful.

YT can counter brigades by giving viewers even more statistics about a video. Example: what’s the like to dislike ratio of a video in the past 7, 30, or 90 days, compared to all-time?

Steam (a video game store) does this already. They categorize reviews as either being recent (made in the last 30 days) or all-time. If a game has excellent all-time reviews, but mixed recent reviews, then you can suspect something has recently upset the playerbase.
> The same is simply not true of YouTube or any other kind of social media upvote/downvote system - anyone can sign up for an account, and their votes immediately count and have equal weighting.

I don't think this is true for YouTube - you need a Google account, and you can't create a Google account without verifying your phone number. (Unless you can create numerous accounts with one phone number? But that seems like an easy loophole to close.)
Give me a break, Walter. I explain that you're viewing this from within a bubble, and your response is to insist that you're not in a bubble because you, personally, haven't lived somewhere without fixed rates? That's the definition of a bubble argument and self-centeredness.

If you really think your ideas are unique and revolutionary and "correct," then I recommend going down to your local utility and pitching them heated rocks, instead of trying to convince the internet that you're right about everything -- see how long it takes for them to stop laughing.

As an aside, my father invented, developed and sold a heated rocks system over 40 years ago. It definitely worked, but the concept itself proved to be too inefficient, impractical and non-scalable, and because of that it never got adopted beyond a few off-the-grid folks. So, when I say that your ideas would only work in very specific circumstances, that's based on actual historical information, not some imagined universe where the entire world is exactly the same as you, personally, have experienced.

Even if they do, does it matter? Everyone already seems to be ok with Tether lying about the backing of USDT. I don't expect USDT holders to decide to sell based on loss of value in the assets backing USDT. Especially when Tether is so opaque that's it's hard to know what the real impact might be.
There's a significant difference - misleading/malicious content.

A fake trailer can for example be spotted by the number of negative votes. If the negative votes concept is gone, using a low number of positive votes as indicator is less effective.

This is one area the article did a very poor job of explaining. In some processes, you treat the entire wafer before you get started with the rest of the procedure. One example that does this is SOI (silicon on insulator) processes. Others may not need this "global" doping, and from what I know most bulk silicon cmos processes do not do this.

Then you do the lithography (photoresist developing, etching, etc) to expose specific regions on the silicon that you want to dope to create devices like transistors, for example. So first you might expose all of the p-type transistor (PMOS) diffusion areas and dope them. Then you'd remove all the photoresist, repeat the procedure to expose n-type diffusions and dope that. And so on for the various needs of that particular wafer.

PN junctions are created simply by having p-type doped silicon adjacent to n-type doped silicon. The boundary between the two is the PN junction. In practice what I usually see is a square of one type with a ring around it of the other, but these devices are not frequently used.
Steam has a useful chart which shows the votes/reviews over time with the ability to filter by language, purchase type, play time etc.

I'm not really optimistic for Tuvalu, I'm guessing their culture may out last any legal standing. But I've learned in history the idea of the modern state with its political borders and such is kind of a novelty. For some people, it's just pointless lines drawn by Europeans from long ago (e.g. Pashtuns on the Afghan/Pakistan border) and others it's something like an inconvenience (e.g. rich people who live anywhere they want, corporations putting their profit far from their headquarters, etc.,) - wish stories like Tuvalu would further the discussion on the role of the nation-state in the modern world, because it looks like we're probably going to have a lot of refugee crises in the decades to come. In a way the world is getting smaller all the time and we even have more people going to space than ever, its own thing beyond geopolitical borders.
