Worse,

if res, err := actually_important_bits(...); err != nil {

}

The actually important bits are hidden in the middle of line noise. In the "common case" where `actually_important_bits` is just a simple function call it's not necessarily as bad, but the problem is when you have ten successive instances of this and one is slightly different. It's impossible to notice the important difference at a glance.

For an industry that is just starting to understand that code is read hundreds of times more often than it's written, golang fails at the few things we actually know for certain about what makes it easier to understand code at a glance.
It was higher when I participated but still adjusted by country purchasing power. The duration was longer than last year and we had three evaluations instead of two.
The screw up will be scale. Securing enough batteries and producing them in volume is not something they have (publicly) announced.

Making 50k a year would barely dent their annual truck sales of 1mil.
Robinhood literally pushed me a notification that their ipo was available. Never even looked up the company on the app or heard of it really before that notification. Smells like a pump, waiting for the dump now.

They are likely to get penalized, thanks to the CLS metric.
> To me, they seem to be building on top of a more modern infrastructure base and do not have the super-prevalent NIMBY problems that exist in the West.

How new the roads and houses are doesn't seem like the most relevant factor for future economic growth.

The US built modern infra for the time, then it stagnated.

Japan built modern infra for the time, then it stagnated.

The US and Japan otherwise took very divergent economic growth paths.

China could go either way, but the increasing central control is hardly without risk for future economic development. Miss a few big bets and you have less of a backup plan than a less-organized economy.
Well, even its late here, I could still have enough creative energy to insert the minus in there ... yeah, thanks for that. So now I feel really behind because sure, it's packaged in Ubuntu 20.04. Thanks again.
If it rises to the top it has something going for it, even if it is just the thumbnail. Also the recommendation algorithm still takes dislikes into account so trash will still not get recommended.
I can only affect my kingdom, what others do is mostly not my concern. Reminds me of the corporate garbage “food” products most people consume. I speak out but not going to steal their doritos.
The more serious problem is when organized mobs , which may be politically motivated and even organized by oppressive states, use the report button to flag videos as inappropriate, which , as i understand, do not appear in recommendations and other listings. And youtube is very happy to remove those.
That's not the only reason for turning off downvotes... I'm a musician, and have dealt before with competing musicians downvoting me in hopes of driving my videos below theirs. Or occasionally someone can share a video publicly and initial response is based on brigading or just not well received. The display of lots of downvotes before views are properly accumulated can cause bias towards the content. Things were just fine when creators had the control over whether or not to show dislikes.

Many creators use Youtube for different purposes. Youtube does a big injustice because they don't fairly separate content based on the type of entity that's posting content enough (i.e. an indie music producer versus a big industry music company or indie vlogger living in their parent's house versus a well funded TV news channel).
I think he was talking more about serverless functions, where 300ms longer for answering an HTTP-request would be pretty long.
There is no catch for array (or slice) index out of bounds. You either code it in yourself or the best you can do is watch for `recover()` and log it.

I wish that one use case was handled better. It is just too easy to mess up.
In real life there's still going to be pressure to come up with an answer regardless of how long that takes and how distasteful it might be. What I don't need is for someone who is completely risk and pressure-averse to have a meltdown because they feel that the answer to the question I ask is going to be unsatisfactory. I want to know what the correct assessment of the situation is so that I can make an informed decision going forward, not some glossed over bullshit that turns into a bigger problem down the road. People like that are their own worst enemies.
> Smart to focus on smaller businesses but foolish albeit expected to only include Apple products in the solution.

Eh, it depends why you think they are doing it.

If you think they are offering this because they want to get into selling MDM software, then yeah, it's foolish.

If, on the other hand, you imagine that they are offering this because they want to encourage small businesses to go 'wall-to-wall' Apple, and for a benefit of this to be that if you go 'Apple' you effectively have some level of a technical support contract too with on-site hardware repairs (not really offered in a compelling way by any other hardware vendor), then it might not be so foolish from a commercial perspective.

I suspect it's the latter - make going 'all in' on Apple a super appealing proposition for small businesses.

The second thing is, Windows is very appealing for small businesses because, amongst other things, configuration and management of users, sign ins, security policies e.t.c. through AAD / Office 365 is brilliant, so this seems to close the gap a bit.

> Apple doesn't sell servers anymore or allow anyone to develop server products for them.

This seems to be more like an MDM/device management and user management/onboarding solution, not something you would install or use to manage servers.
"The only explanation for this valuation is that"

There is an abundance of cheap money courtesy of the FED that is finding it's way into the market. It isn't Joe6pack buying Rivian.

"Rivian managed to build a car that people actually want."

Didn't FORD do this with the F150? I don't know of one contractor that is going to buy a Rivian. Most drive beat up F250's/RAM 2500/etc.

"I think Rivians high valuation just shows that they managed to nail a market segment that Tesla floundered."

>as of Sept. 30, it had roughly 48,390 orders for its truck and S.U.V. in the United States and Canada from customers who each had paid a refundable deposit of $1,000.

Here are Fords numbers.

https://fordauthority.com/fmc/ford-motor-company-sales-numbe...

So far this year approx 500k F150's and that's during a chip shortage.

Anyway, I hope they're successful but there is a lot of future growth and profit priced in and time will tell.
They should get some stats on the probability of dying of dysentery before reaching one's destination, too.
EVs have fewer parts overall, and therefore should require fewer manufacturing hours, among other efficiencies. But more straightforwardly, look at Tesla's margins as an object proof. Their gross margin is 50% higher than Toyota's, and Tesla is still sub-scale for an auto manufacturer. I would expect any EVs shipped in any meaningful volume to realize similar margin gains versus ICE vehicles.

> The California compliance EVs were sold at a per-unit loss.

Those cars were never intended to be a real line of business. My measure of when a legacy automaker decides to make a "real" EV is when they attach their existing brand equity to an EV.
The Chevy Bolt fails this test, as do the BMW EVs. I think this distinction is important because automakers have the capability to sell vehicles that they do not intend to be part of their strategy or scale to meet demand. The California compliance EVs also obviously fail this test.

The Ford F-150 Lightning is a real EV, as is the Mustang Mach-E and the Volvo XC40. I don't believe Subaru has even announced a real EV yet, as the Solterra does not count. We will know Subaru is serious when they deliver an Impreza EV; until then, I consider all their EV offerings as compliance vehicles.
I’d never heard of Spruce Pine, interesting. I wasn’t able to read the wired article but another article said it wasn’t the silica/silicon that’s the world-beater there though, it’s the quartz for use in crucibles etc?

Also - does the US really have microchip supremacy? The highest tech fabs are non-us (Samsung and TSMC)
Since you asked, China basically had an inside man in the Californian pension system and purchased a large amount of Chinese tech stocks. Beijing then pulled the carpet out from under them, causing 400B in US pension losses: https://www.google.com/amp/s/californiaglobe.com/articles/us...
It does seem to be a trend in less-than-professional blogs.

Robinhood pushed me a notification that their ipo was available, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was fueled by meme stock folks who saw that notification, and just bought it because fomo. Dangerous imo that robinhood can push these pumps on people.
And see who’s looking for it.
It sounds like you've had the good fortune of never running afoul of a harsh interviewer. I don't believe I've had either, but certainly stories abound. And I've definitely encountered interviewers who were checked out and seemed rudely unfocused on the interview.

While interviews might not be inherently adversarial, they are at least inherently confrontational, there is a power asymmetry. One is being evaluated. The fail state of rejection is present and the other party is willing to use it against you if you fail their expectations. Whereas at most companies with non-toxic cultures, your coworkers do not consider doing that to you. As such, interviews are always inherently different social environments from day to day work.
I see what you’re saying, but it’s only true in the sense that dysfunctional government refuses to operate without a dysfunctional incentive. It is possible to improve the percentage of wisely chosen projects.
OK, but are you arguing against the substance of it? 2020, that age range would have all been Gen Z, I'm pretty sure. Still 31%. Do you think the breakdown of Gen Z political opinions, ordered by prominence, is "socialist (51+%) -> Trump supporter (~31%) -> everything else (less than 18%)"? My educated guess would be you could flip those "socialist" and "everything else" numbers and that'd be way closer to correct—which is still a huge increase over other generations, if it's even as high as 18%!

FWIW if we had a viable, actual socialist party, I'd vote & even campaign for them. But I think you're way wrong about how far things are shifting, with Gen Z, unfortunately. I do hope I'm the one who's wrong, but I doubt it.

I'm a millennial, but if I look at my social group (mostly gen-z through gen-x) it's nearly all socialists and left- or off-the-spectrum-anarchists[EDIT: probably a couple would identify, specifically, as left-libertarian, now that I think about it, which is very unlike right-libertarian—at least one of those might pointedly insist on just calling the left-libertarian position "liberal"]. That's my bubble, though, and doesn't reflect the proportions for the rest of the country.

[EDIT] Maybe we have different thresholds or definitions of "socialist"? I'd believe that over half of Gen Z wants a "public option" for healthcare, and maybe even M4A, for instance. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if some Gen Z Trumpers want those (Trump did, oddly enough, give some lip-service to reform in that direction in his campaigns, though not to M4A)

And now Susan is proving those downvotes were more than justified. It's not just that though, also all the left-wing stuff being downvoted is hurting feelings over at Google HQ. They desperately want to believe the public is overwhelmingly on their side.
Yeah, I guess I don't mean that my examples are explicit ponzi schemes, but merely similar.

I certainly wouldn't say they are fraud.

I think my examples are instances where people are good at selling an idea and not having full intention of executing well after receiving financing.

I'm certain that some percentage of entrepreneurs actively think "If I can just sell my idea to investors, I can get rich regardless of whether the idea works or not." That's my ponzi scheme analog.
Except yes it does for coal and a myriad of other dirty tricks by corporate America. So I remain amazed that we don't channel that energy into doing good.

> The EPA said that the potential area is too broad and the satellite data “does not provide enough tangible information of potential sources in which to conduct a programmatic review,”

Perhaps we should have airplanes/drones fitted with similar measurement instruments as the satellite, so we can take a closer look when necessary?
It does wrestle a lot of control from the individual though. It's not hard to imagine possible abuses of power. Tracking everyone's movements is just the start. What if some government decided to deny service to someone? Or not let certain groups travel to certain places. Imagine opportunities for havoc due to hacking

I'd still like driverless cars, but privacy and freedom of movement rights protections need to be thought about.
My favorite in the breathless overreporting genre is when debate wins are described as "evisceration."
Unless you're running a MITM proxy for SSL traffic with root certificates installed on the home devices, this statement can not be true. And if you're running such a proxy, you would need to have a guest WiFi for people coming into the house who would like to use internet without installing the certificate. At that point, circumventing the tracking is the matter of connecting to the guest WiFi.

How much $ should I realistically expect to spend on design, verification, and fabrication, respectively? I've heard $20M is the ballpark for a mask on a leading edge node. What is the marginal cost per CPU?

> My neighbor traded in his truck for more than he paid for it two years ago.

Sold my 2018 Toyota Tacoma pickup to Carmax for over $32K. I probably paid more than that a few years ago when I bought it new, but I thought it would have depreciated much more than that.

It's nice on the selling end.
Please don't jump to grandiose conclusions from a couple of data points from the stochastic stream.

Adding this for some context.

While it’s not clear to me if the fine accounts for Google’s total revenue from Google Shopping while the infringement occurred it at least is based on a percentage of revenue which increases with each reoccurrence.

According to [1] “the starting point for setting the fine will take into account a percentage of the value of sales to which the infringement relates, multiplied by the number of years of participation in the infringement. Under the fines Guidelines in force since 1998, the starting point of the fine is based on a lump sum, depending on the degree of gravity of the infringement, to which a 10% increase is added per year of infringement.” and “The Commission's fine of €2 424 495 000 takes account of the duration and gravity of the infringement. In accordance with the Commission's 2006 Guidelines on fines (see press release and MEMO), the fine has been calculated on the basis of the value of Google's revenue from its comparison shopping service in the 13 EEA countries concerned.”[2]

You can probably google more, but here's a prominent example of why you're incorrect with your assumptions:

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-09-25-total-war-rome...

"Total War: Rome 2 has suffered a Steam review bombing run over women characters and a recent update - but it turns out the game is working as intended.

"Creative Assembly's PC strategy game, which came out in 2013, saw hundreds of new negative Steam reviews this week over the frequency with which women generals show up in the game and related claims about historical accuracy."

and another one:

https://www.techspot.com/news/91212-life-strange-true-colors...

"The reason behind the Chinese users' anger is the inclusion of a symbol banned in their country. On the main street of the game's Haven Springs setting is a shop called Treasures of Tibet, which displays a Tibetan flag prominently outside the store."

Valve has come out on more than one occasion to let customers and studios know that they are constantly working to mitigate brigading.

No, that perfectly illustrates what happens when you censor free expression by only putting an upvote button on a post, and no downvote button.
Propaganda was just as bad before the internet existed except people had no idea it was propaganda because there wasn't an easily accessible open space that allowed them freedom of communication with alternative views and without censorship like the internet.

I trust no one to censor in a neutral way. It's inherently impossible.

>dark psychological strategy that hijacks our brains reward system.

This is fixed by personal responsibility and properly teaching children how to handle the information. It's really not that different than any other addictive tendency. The fix isn't just banning it.
What lazide saying is that some important information is stored at the end (as in the very end of the book/movie or at the end of the line). So imagine there is a 1TB .zip archive in the tape, the tape device have to go further (deeper) into that 1TB file to get that last bit of vital data that the user want to see. Normally the vital bit usually at the start of the file (as in the front line/beginning of the book) that the user have the information ready before they could transfer it. But for lazide case, the tape device have to keep reading the entire 1TB zip to get that last vital bit of information which made it slow. It is more like it cannot "skip the line" and would have to go through entire line to get there.
