This all reminds me of 18 months ago on HN when I pointed out how a Covid vaccine could be developed and released in 6 months.

Ridicule and condemnation was heaped upon me, all explaining how it simply must take 2 years at least.

And yet it was released 6 months later, more or less doing what I suggested.

I'm going to be proven right on this one, too :-)
The great irony is that Google of all companies should know this is poor UI design.
This makes me wonder - are there programming languages that are naturally suited to be written in some particular human language?

Off the top of my head:

Perl should be written in Welsh.

Lisp should probably be written in Greek.

not sure about others, but personally -

Cobol in German.
The interesting part, to me as a outsider, is that they used human cancer cells, exposed them to PA and then those cells had some kind of "memory" after being transplanted into mice.
I really think Go’s opinion here arises from a sense that some abstractions of control flow just should be verboten for concurrency. For example exceptions dumping a stack trace in a concurrent program is often OK and occasionally extremely cursed.

Sure. But that doesn't change the fact that Amazon, as a company, clearly likes to vertically integrate and build its own stuff (be it servers, warehouses, or even its own distribution system).

Amazon used to rely upon USPS, FedEx, UPS. But what did it do? It built its own. Similarly, Amazon is now looking at the cars it bought for its delivery service, and clearly wants to vertically integrate, by help creating the Rivian company to make those new cars.

The valuation may be stupid, but the business plan is solid. Bow down before Amazon, build cars exactly to Amazon's specifications in a way other manufactures cannot... and get Amazon's money.

I don't think this business plan is worth $100 Billion, but it sounds like a fundamentally good business plan at its core.

>Was it "politically motivated" then?

It can be politically motivated now, and reputationally motivated then. It can also be both, then and now. We know nothing outside of what YouTube's PR department is telling us, and all PR is nonsense wrapped around bullshit.

It's pretty obvious why they're rolling it out now. YouTube spends a lot of its time suppressing signals it doesn't like.

But, in the end, who cares? Everybody not suffering from brain damage knows that YouTube manipulates the hell out of all of the public metrics; and everybody who isn't clinically dead knows that these things are gamed into uselessness.

I would not say that. This is a long time coming for apple to finally acknowledge with actions that apple devices are used in an enterprise context for many, many companies and to start thinking about proper first class support for that use case. "Innovation" wise it's independent of their other efforts IMO.
I just bought a car. I wanted to pay cash, and made it clear I would come back with the a cashier check the next day when my bank open. They said in order to “lock” the car in for me overnight, that I’d have to sign up for a loan (that I could just pay off immediately). It took a bunch of back and forth to make it clear I just wanted to pay cash and I’d be back tomorrow with a check. They finally relented and said ok we’ll put a complimentary hold on the car and accepted the fact I was paying cash. Then of course after finalizing that they pushed a bunch of vastly overpriced maintenance programs and severely misrepresented the expected costs of said maintenance if I didn’t purchase the plan. At least they had the courtesy to give me the time to quickly run the numbers in order to verify it was a terrible deal for me.

The whole point is that buying a Tesla doesn’t involve this pointless, anti-consumer, borderline lying, slimey process. People shouldn’t have to worry about being scammed when making one of the largest purchases in their life. The traditional dealership model is terrible for your average consumer. Why on earth are you defending that?

When a private business has to meet the legal demands set out by laws governing serving disabilities, it is up to the business in question to shoulder those costs, not society.

Don't like it? Close down shop. Someone else's business will replace you, you won't be missed, and life will go on.

It's outrageous to suggest that private businesses have to be bribed so that they follow the law.

The only explanation for this valuation is that Rivian is pretty much exactly what people wanted in a Tesla pickup.

Rivian managed to build a car that people actually want. Their car is a really great pickup truck with all the stuff that people want in a utility vehicle (flexible storage space! air compressor! power outlets! easy to build out!)

And the Rivian looks close enough to a normal pickup that people aren't going to feel stupid driving them.

Nobody who wants a work / camping / towing truck is going to buy a Cybertruck. A cybertuck is a car for programmers who make too much money and want to feel like Robocop.

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

> For the house I have a house folder, for the car I have a car folder.

I found that such an approach doesn't work for me. I currently own two cars but in the past I have owned over ten cars in my life. I keep purchase and sale documents for each car in a separate folder until no longer needed. I keep maintenance records in their own separate folders. When I sell a car I no longer need, I pass the maintenance records on to the buyer, and I easily locate the title to sign over in the purchase/sale folder from last time. Having these together wouldn't make sense because purchase/sale is a one-time event whereas maintenance happens all the time. For example, to answer the question should I accept my mechanics' recommendation to replace some given part, I review the documents and show them that they already replaced it last year, so they better have a really good reason why it needs replaced again this year.

Finally, there are other records related to cars such as insurance documents. These I just keep for one year only so having them separate in their own folder is a better idea to make it easy to prune out the old/no-longer-necessary documents.

They do - it’s very slow, and entirely linear. It also puts wear on the tape, so if you do it a lot you’ll break the tape in a not-super-long-time.

And since you wouldn’t know where the end is by reading the beginning, you’ll have to keep reading until you hit the right marker - and seek backwards (which you generally can’t read backwards on most tape drives, so you need to jump back and re-read).
First: So anything that can be misused or abused should be abolished? That's your argument? I think I would prefer a more nuanced view and a more nuanced response.

Second: You claim here that downvoting an opinion "censors" it. All I can say to that is, you need to look up "censor" in the dictionary.

Third: You are seriously arguing that moderation should be illegal? Please tell me that was a joke.

Exactly this. While valueing companies on future growth makes sense, Tesla's current evaluation is bigger than the 10 largest car manufacturers by market cap after combined [1]. That kind of implies that people think Tesla alone will be as profitable as these other ten combined, which just seems like a totally crazy bet to take. Tesla would have to take over huge parts of their market share while keeping high margins on expensive cars. There isn't so much population that is able to spend 50k or 100k on a car.

Just looked it up and it's true -- this is actually pretty cool!
There is a clear intrinsic value ( and critical need) to avoid fossil fuels, nobody is disputing that. However to imply nuclear is actually cheaper today fiscally is not accurate as original commenter was saying, given variances[1] in plant construction between estimates and actual cost incurred, also uncertainty over long term disposal method and poor understanding of those end of life costs makes it very poor choice for policy making on selecting between clean options.

If there are no other(clean) options having equivalent characteristics (consistent base load, scalability, location etc) to augment solar/wind etc ( whose costs are very well understood now including end of life costs) , then we are not choosing because it is cheaper, we are doing it because there is no choice.

[1] All plants will have some cost deviations, but nuclear has much higher both time and cost deviation from plan estimates.

No. The fourth amendment does not apply here. In US legal doctrine there is no right to privacy. The fourth amendment exists to provide a right against improper search and seizure.

> The battery is still one of the more expensive components and it is only going to get cheaper.

That's a forward looking statement. To make it even more interesting is that CPI just clocked in at the highest rate in 30 years. That's not to say that battery prices will correlate 1:1 with CPI, but accelerating CPI does not bode well for any supplies getting cheaper in the future.

Yes! I'm against this decision, but dislikes are so unreliable as indicators of propaganda that they might as well not be there. All they indicate is how the video was received by its audience (duh), and decent propaganda is designed to rig this game.

The only times I remember seeing a high dislike-to-like ratio are on things that went viral in the wrong circles, so internet decided to mass-downvote the for inconsequential reasons, like Rebecca Black's Friday or the announcement for some video game that isn't made to appeal to the "core gaming public".

I was joking, that's the wrong conclusion. The math does not actually work out. Taking the low estimate (S&P500): 400k/22k = 18x multiplier. So, worst-case scenario, you'd need 1 in 18 devices to pay out that well to break even. Closer to 1 in 5 if you take the larger (NASDAQ) number.

Pinterest, like most sites hosting UGC is protected under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) DMCA safe harbor laws.

The majority of pins on Pinterest are from the “pin-it button” a small snippet of JavaScript which content creators embed themselves on websites. Pinterest offers opt-out mechanisms but the majority of content creators see huge value in the additional traffic generated from Pinterest.
Zone.js is very useful. You can observe the life time of a chain of asynchronous operations without requiring that they return promises or use callbacks. This makes it very useful for providing "no code" SSR of an otherwise frontend framework. You can reliably know when the page has completed rendering, because the zone has become "stable", that is to say it no longer has any way to run any handlers for future events.

Zone locals also allow you to maintain "task-specific" state, for instance allowing you to access the current request being processed without it being passed around. Another use case is having your logger show context information- Frameworks like RoR have done this forever- they show the request ID on each log message that results from processing that request. I don't think there's any good way short of passing the logger around everywhere to pull that off in Javascript short of using Zones.

What it does to Promise and other parts is definitely an annoyance, but the benefits you get for it are a lot. If Zones were a standard part of the JS runtime none of that "patch the world" would be needed, as the JS runtime would support it out the gate. Zone.js was always meant to be a polyfill of the Zone concept on the way to standardization. It is unfortunate that standardization has failed because I think it's a very useful idea and there isn't any real alternative to achieve the same goals.

The Facebook team has alluded a number of times about making some of the “third party” platforms become first class members of react native. They haven’t officially announced anything but I’m guessing Microsoft’s work on react native for Windows/macOS will be folded into the main repo at some point in the near future. Facebook (seemingly based on git commits) has a number of full time employees collaborating with Microsoft on the Windows and macOS ports. Facebook messenger for desktop is already built with it.

I haven’t seen any type of movement on react native web becoming something official, but it works amazingly well at the moment and is in use in production at Twitter.

We just need a Linux port and the react native ecosystem will be pretty complete.

This is quite amazing.

On my Intel Mac it still requires 4 thread with close to 100% CPU usage to play a 4K AV1 using latest VLC. ( Which I assume comes with latest dav1d ) This is easily 20W usage.

But on M1 this takes less than 1W.

This basically eliminate any argument against AV1. Even with software decoding. You could watch AV1 4K video with passive cooling on a MacBook Air without it ever getting warm.

It may be a good question to ask, with these kind of processing power, what can we do to further push the next gen video codec.
