What downsides?

Why can't we just say we don't like what we don't like?

You previously suggested that it was be a good thing to "change or influences others" to not get vaccinated.

That is the statement that I am taking issue with. When you implied that it would be a good thing for less people to be vaccinated.
> the electric version seems to cost about US$10K more

Disagree. F-150 Lightning XLT is ~$5k more than the ICE equivalent, which means it costs less after the tax credit. (I'm not sure the baseline model is the same as the baseline ICE F-150.)

The Bolt and iX are essentially compliance/concept vehicles that don't have ICE editions, so you can't say they cost more than their comparable models. Once those two get real EV strategies, we will be able to make direct comparisons between e.g. the Chevy Tahoe and the Chevy Tahoe EV.

This money should be fed back into the regulatory system to provide fund for expanding audits of these companies which are clearly out of control. Corporations are basically entities without morals. They only care about the legality of situations and interpretations thereof that their lawyers think they can get away with so as much oversight as possible would be great.
It is less the tax laws and more the trade agreements between countries. Until a few years ago the biggest tech companies used a bit of creative accounting to make sure that all their EU profits would at least on paper be made in Ireland because it had the lowest taxes of all and Ireland had no reason to change that. The EU stepped in once it came out just how far the Irish tax office was willing to go to support that scheme, I think they outright allowed Apple to skip the pretense (and several shell companies) entirely while declaring their profits to be Irish.
What do you mean by setup? I have a strong, but not rigid preference for free/open/hackable.
Could you clarify what this means for a layman? AIUI you are saying that a car dealership will borrow money from the bank to purchase their inventory, but nowadays with no inventory, banks are not getting payments from the dealers for the money they've borrowed. 1. With no inventory, why does the dealer need the money from the bank? 2. If the dealer is still borrowing money from the bank despite having no inventory, don't they still need to pay interest? I think there is something fundamental that I am misunderstanding here.

Then that would be a shitty world to live in. Good thing it isn't true.
Yeah, this is a meme that circulates in the $TSLAQ world, often appearing alongside shrieks of "Panel Gaps!". There really isn't a source, Super Cruise just isn't very available in public yet (just a tiny handful of cars have it, with probably less than 20k users).

The core of the point is generally that Tesla AP is deployed as a hands-on solution, requiring regular steering wheel input (just twisting the wheel a bit), where GM ships this in cars with cameras pointed at the driver (Tesla has them too now, though the wheel nags still exist) that take the entire monitoring load. That makes it "hands free", and therefore better. This is often combined with a conflation of "hands free" with SAE L3 Autonomy (which isn't correct) to try to emphasize the point, skipping the fact that the hands-free areas are limited just just a few hand-vetted highways. All Tesla would need to do to compete with that feature would be to implement the same geofencing, basically. But that's not where they're aiming.

I mean, in the real world, AP is pretty amazing and SC is mostly vaporware. My car took me 429 miles last Thursday and the only input required beyond wheel nags was some editorial differences I had with it about proper lane selection (and even then, I was only right about 60% of the time).
A lot of Apple’s older hardware will run the latest OS. Which is the same operating system across all of those devices.
Doesn't that prove parent's point though? Effectively those aren't work trucks. Because of this widespread trend, most new models have dual cab and it is now hard to find "real" work trucks so the old, 2-seats-only models are highly sought after in the used market, at least based on what my farmer friends tell me
Thank you very much. You're not the only one who's been surprised about the iOS 15 thing. We'll be more mindful about version compatibility with the next update. We're not using any cutting-edge features here, so we probably don't need to set compatibility to the latest os version.

They have to own something for $30B+ [1]. It is unlikely it is anything in significant in the U.S, both because it is harder not to be noticed as you say and also greater risk of interference from regulators etc.

It is not unreasonable to think China has good chunk of those deposits, and in China real estate is a big component of the economy and growth in the recent years.

Chinese real estate market is both large enough and opaque to be able to ingest that kind of capital.

[1] It is possible they are issuing tokens out of thin air without actually taking in equivalent USD/fiat currency, but given it trading volume on crypto exchanges it seems unlikely say 90+% of their $73B + are tokens fake. Even 10% is $7.3B a very significant sum.

Right, especially since what's considered "toxic" is a moving needle (that quote of the General de Gaulle that Zemmour like to use for instance was perfectly fine at the time it was said and still is for a lot of people) and is also not uniform across the world. In particular sexual jokes or double entendre are perfectly fine in French most of time while they're often considered harassment in the US culture.

I don't speak for Google, however I was involved in Summer of Code from the open source side when this decision was made. The reason given was that they were concerned that the amounts were having a disproportionate impact on some students, paying significantly more than the jobs it was meant to compete with to the extent that getting into Sumner of Code was one of the main objectives for students rather than a nice to have.

I can tell you that when it was announced it was a very unpopular move with the mentoring organisations, where the strong feeling was that equal work deserves equal pay, but ultimately the decision for mentoring orgs is to participate or not, and the vast majority chose to participate.

> someone should comment something like "This video is garbage." or simply "Dislike" and the amount of thumbs up on that comment can be taken as video dislikes.

The problem with Youtube as I see it is that these comments never rise to the top. It's always compliments and ass-kissing and high-fives that make it there.

Twitter tends to gravitate towards the opposite.

It's all fascinating though.
I have worked in high tech since 1983. Over my career, I have received unsolicited bonuses, stock grants, and other perks, from time to time.

At the same time, when I thought I had made a material contribution to the company's success that was above and beyond my normal role, I would ask for compensation of one kind or another. At times, I was told no, and at other times, my request was granted. I believe Wayne Gretzky said something like "You miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take."

My lived experience is that life is not fair. In the organizations where I was an employee, owner or executive, it has never been the case that everyone, in their "heart of hearts," really believed everything was entirely fair.

I think it's right and proper to recognize and work to correct injustices, to the extent possible, yet I think it's also true that people vary all over the map and on a perhaps uncountable number of dimensions, and trying to achieve complete fairness is simply not possible.

I will also say that my belief that life is not fair does not require us to go through life constantly angry and frustrated.

I could be wrong, and I don't wish to put words in your mouth. Interested in your thoughts, if you want to say more.

$18.94 billion would have been a more acceptable amount to fine them. You have to make these companies really hurt in order to get their attention.
No, they aren’t. I unfortunately can’t tell you how I know due to contracts, but I am 100% sure you are wrong about the price and the implied assumption that Amazon will only buy from Rivian. Also, commercial van margins are nowhere near as good as pickup margins. The van is a cash flow generator, not a massive profit center.

I think 7.2x-10.4x is the opposite of "not that much higher".

That's the difference between making $100,000 a year or $720,000 a year (or $1,040,000 a year).

Yeah, that's a big difference.

I think they still might be upset about that.
This is not what users want and it's not surprising having now observed multiple rounds of YT censorship campaigns. One way ppl fight back against annoying political narrative videos is to downvote them to the mantle. That also gives everyone solace to know that most everyone else believes the opposite of said political narrative videos. Make no doubt about it, YT and their partners have gotten as political as hell in recent years.

What OS? Do you always use the same terminal program when pasting the token? Always use the same method of copy/paste (middle button "selection" vs. ctrl-c/ctrl-v)? Any chance there could be some invisible whitespace getting copied? Are you using command line git or some other gui tool? Sorry for the issue, the personal access tokens have worked reliably for me fwiw (only ever used from Linux).
Whether this is good for creators is one thing, but it's definitely bad for viewers. Likes to dislikes is an indicator of the quality of the video, and how well it matches the title/description.

This will fundamentally change what I use YouTube for. If I can't determine the quality of a video without having to waste time watching it, I will just look somewhere else.
They are succsesfull because of windows monopoly on enterprise market. Office 2007 was mostly ok. 365 not so. I'm trying very hard to like any of Microsoft's products because my employee force me to use then ( they might be part of a contract). But MS Office is, and has always been a PITA.

Absolutely. This is exactly the kind of thing that creators should be able to opt-in to, just like disabling comments. Very disappointed to see this shielding of everyone's eyes from videos. If a creator wanted to opt to hide it, sure, but flat out hiding it is unfortunate.
I wonder if the catalyst was the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack video dislikes. Many said Nintendo wouldn't even notice but maybe they did and advocated for the change.
The people copying code off the air were mainly trained that a particular sound required that you type a particular key. The traffic was all encrypted. The cypher text was passed off to others for decryption.

The US Navy trained Filipina natives who did not speak English to copy Morse by ear on typewriters. Cypher text was 5 character code groups. A lot of routine Pacific Fleet traffic went that route. The decryption was done by military personnel with clearances.

No better feeling though! Especially when running the numbers post-fix (insert CS joke here) and comparing to shop quotes. I keep spreadsheets for two cars and an older jet ski and I've saved ~$12k this year alone by wrenching solo assuming $100/hr = standard labor rate. I've learned a TON of cross-functional skills, have full control over the parts and repair, and it's just a feel-good way to step away from my desk when things slow down at work.

I remind myself of the the 5-digit savings whenever I'm in line at Harbor Freight... which is often.

Our 13-year-old doesn't have IG/FB/Twitter and he is fine, and even proud about it. He does have Minecraft, Discord, and other video games (and some access to YouTube at his other house, but he doesn't have an account). There are of course problems with every platform, but we have watched a bunch of the social media documentaries and talked about it, and he's aware that what he is "missing out on" is primarily the kind of interaction that won't leave him feeling good. Being off "social media" doesn't mean being without communication with other kinds online.
It's a great topic :) and with so many interesting ideas and constructions.

In my comment I was trying to make the more general statement that is (likely) impossible to achieve strong metadata privacy (or unobservable communication) without cover traffic.

However, metadata privacy is a bit of a spectrum (see my other comment above).

Adding latency at the relays/mixes already helps to make it harder for an adversary to correlate the traffic as their measurements get more noisy. This then very quickly gets to a level where we have "practically unobservable communication" as the signal to noise ratio is very low.

By increasing/decreasing the latency of the intermediate hops one can directly control the trade-off between latency and anonymity. Check-out e.g. Figure 6 in the Loopix paper (https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurit...).

Similarly, this holds for cover traffic. In an ideal scenario the rate of the outgoing traffic is fully independent of whether one communicates or not. In a less ideal scenario we just add some other requests on top (e.g. a random browser bot on Tor) to create noise. In some cases this might be good enough. However, it won't satisfy any theoretical definition of unobservable communication which indicates that an observer can mitigate the noise by extending their observation over a long-long time.
IIRC, vegetable oils (unsaturated fats) exploded in popularity in the middle of last century when chemical companies figured out how to mass produce them. Prior to that, we got most of our fats from saturated fats.

> Knuth estimates 2% of the world has what it takes to be a programmer.

Without knowing Knuth's criteria it sounds arbitrary. Would it be Knuth caliber programer? Then 2 percent seems high. Or one could change webpage color / deploy some simple app with click of button or running couple line of script. I guess 80% of adult population might be able to do in 2030.

Well minimum wage workers are also not interested in that for long term. However that's what people will do if it is the only thing available.

The BBC article is referring to high purity quartz, not silicon. It is used to make a quartz crucible - a large cup - of that high purity quartz. It’s essential that the crucible not contaminate the polysilicon.

(A note in passing: the semi industry doesn’t use hyperpure silicon. They use a lesser grade and add epitaxial layers.)

The crucible can stand the high temperature of molten silicon. The purified polycrystalline silicon is melted in the crucible. Then a single crystal ‘seed’ is dipped in the molten silicon and slowly withdrawn, while rotating. That’s how you make a high purity single crystal silicon ingot.

Before it’s zone refined, the poly is synthesized by reducing high purity silane gas (SiH4), which was in turn produced from quartz sand.

It would be interesting to know if the industry is still using natural quartz crucibles - the latest wafer size is now 450 mm - nearly 18 inches. Maybe someone else here can comment whether the traditional pulling process will be used at 450 mm.
I am pretty certain to replace my 25 year old Chevy 2500 with an electric truck over the next few years and am not really even considering the Rivian. The small bed is not really appealing at all compared to the F150 and it's not that interesting compared to the Cybertruck.

I'm pretty skeptical that Tesla can pull off the Cybertruck for the prices they initially announced, but if they do, that's going to be a big advantage.

Their SUV does look pretty interesting though. The Model Y is too small for what a lot of families now expect from an SUV and the Model X is very expensive.

How are you able to reproduce this? I didn't see steps in the article and I haven't seen this appear, but now I'm curious.
Yes, but that is a completely different setting than an enterprise one.

Having supported large enterprises and pieces of the movie production industry I can tell you there’s a vast difference in how end-user IT is treated.

The users you are referring to are power users that get to select their own tools, more akin to developers (at decent places at least).

Currently a dev manager, about half of my dev team want to use mac. They can, with zero support from central IT.

That’s not a choice our sales org have, for example.
We could think of language models as public figures and developers and users as supporters. Every public figure has heard nasty language: it's up to you to decide whether to support a public figure who goes around repeating said language.
Ah, but what if the updated shared lib broke other apps depending on the old version? Pros and cons.

I am really just starting out my channel, so I am not sure I really understand what is the (real) purpose of this change. A dislike hurts somewhat, but it is unavoidable this to happen when you have a large public. I have not seen dislike attacks (not to say they don't exist), but I'm pretty sure they can be avoided with other tactics.

I suspect that not showing the dislikes drives up engagement, but in my experience as a user I rarely look at the number of dislikes to judge a video.
The same happens with all those like-for-like groups instead it's the other direction and they don't bat an eye there

It would also be great to have an extension that does a twitter search on the current URL. It could run automatically every time you load the page or just run when you click it.

And the results could be limited to people you follow/follow you or all results. Just a nice way to see what people are talking about.

Not sure this belongs in the same extension. But both are manual fixes for social media problems.
Nope! Many are 2WD (RWD), perhaps even most depending on the area. Some are full-time 4WD, but many have the manual 4WD selector 2H-4H-4L.
Yeah, hard to say. For me it was a long process of inching closer and closer to the problem. Which meant it happened years later than it should have.

I suspect therapy can get you there a lot faster. For some people, getting high or tripping can help.

The first step is looking for it though. If you find yourself saying "I want to do X but I keep not doing it", that's a sign something's messed up. I imagine that meditating on that feeling can target the neurotic drive directly.
It IS an anti-abuse / anti-sockpuppet feature. I can see why you think it is elitism since, in a way, it is. But I don't understand why you think it's "passive aggressive".
