2fa is a good idea. Still, I think it should be my choice whether I use it or not. If I want to have an account that I can always log in just with my user and password, that should be possible.
The previous poster already explained how it is incorrect to say the odds are stacked against a healthy unvaccinated person who gets the virus. Can you elaborate what else you need explained?
Hm, when you put it that way, yes, it wasn't really small but the intent was to make it a spot where you could sleep with a couple of people in some comfort if you wanted to, not something garden shed sized.

Agreed on the temporary spaces that don't need interior walls, the carrying capacity of a geodesic dome frame is incredible relative to the weight of the materials that are used to put it up. You could hang a couple of hundred kilos from the central joint in the top of the frame and the frame itself was constructed with nothing but 2x4s. I was a bit skeptical about the strength prior to that but afterwards I was totally sold on the concept strength wise. Seeing is believing I guess :)
Monolithic has been doing this in the US for years, https://www.monolithic.org/homes.

It's disappointing that it hasn't caught on, but there are practical reasons that make the design difficult despite it's greater efficiencies and resilience.
Although it's an apples-to-oranges comparison, I wonder how the efficiency of these domes compare to Earthship designs[1], where the intake of solar energy is prioritized over leakage prevention.

Residential developments around coastlines typically drain directly into the bodies of water the coastlines are on.

Eutrophication can occur from lawn maintenance runoff alone. For coastlines around larger bodies of water, chemicals and heavy metals can deposit near the coast, and concentrate in filter feeders and animals higher up in the food chain to the point that it is unsafe to eat things that are caught off the coast.
> In what world is this a useful comparison?

In this world where we also compare to C++ programs.

In this world where — as you acknowledge — we also compare a C# regex-redux program that does not use a third party library.

https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/...

> Interesting, why does it need that?

2 out of 10 tasks regex-redux and pidigits accept third-party libraries, the other 8 out of 10 tasks do not.
Sounds right. [1] The mission patch is hilarious.

I assume you're asking about authoring one's own `macro_rules!`? I find them handy when writing tests (especially integration tests) to create sub-modules that all function the same way, just with different input-output pairs. This is better than using functions because each module can contain multiple functions to test. So instead of `test1a(input1, output1); test1b(input1, output1)`, I have a macro `test_input_output!(test1, input1, output1)` which generates `mod test1` containing the individual tests.
and that they actually keep the car updated and push out improvements

...also known as fixes for stuff that should've been caught before you were sold it. The whole "update culture" that has permeated into everything is a horrible abomination. It justifies leaving flaws unfixed before release, under the premise that "we can always fix it later", and indeed that's what appears to have happened --- except, in a lot of cases, it never gets fixed.
Problem is, all of those can be true, and the startup still fails to find market fit, or traction, or pivot exactly right. Or something happens 3 years down the line that results in the company failing for no internally foreseeable reason.

The road to hell is paved with good intentions, as they say, but that road is build with some really solid engineering (it being so hot there and all), and we only really hear about the successful exits which reeks of survivor bias. The well run companies just fade away in our collective consciousness. I can name Uber and Lyft off the top of my head, no problem, but their defunct competitors? I'd have to look them up to name more than... Flywheel, I think it was?
Mark and sweep garbage collection is optimal for some kinds of multi-threaded algorithms. If further minimised with judicious use of value types, it can be surprisingly difficult to outperform it even with carefully tuned C++ or Rust code.

Thanks! AWS was costly compared to the free HPC cluster but it was sub $1000 per month and our bottlenecks were person-hours rather than money. We had a lot of work to do. As some have mentioned there wasn't a strong technical argument for switching to AWS, it was more about productivity with those tools. I'd built up a bit of credibility with the team at that point and was like "I can make this better" and my boss was said "ok cool". As I mentioned in the article the team was very open to try new things.

I can see an alternate timeline where I set up Buildkite in AWS to run Slurm jobs on the HPC cluster, rather than using EC2 spot instances. Using Buildkite + S3 were probably the more important infra changes.
All you've done here is reiterate what he said and insult him for thinking it. That's not even remotely persuasive.
It's a lot of circular logic and wishful thinking. A lot of it boils down to something like:

- Tesla will "win" the race(either to self driving, or some magical EV adoption level, or the gigapress will let them sell cars for half the price of other mfgs) and then swallow 90%+ of the market. Other auto manufacturers will just disappear or something, and will live in Tesla's shadow forever.

- Tesla makes robotaxis and everyone on the planet will simultaneously want to own a Tesla as well as pay for rides in rented Teslas. Again this argument usually rests on the assumption that Tesla will do the impossible and no other manufacturer will ever keep up.

- Tesla is a (software, navigation, power, battery, robot, mapping, AI, etc) company. They will take all of their tech an monetize it. This of course will not require any overhead and Tesla will make 110% profit on every market they enter, which, of course, they will dominate and no other existing manufacturers will be able to compete.

If you call out a Tesla fan on this, they will cycle back and forth between some variation of those arguments until you give up. Generally the Tesla fan has quite a bit invested in Tesla(via stock or just $10k beta test fees), and they argue as if conceding the argument will destroy their investment and prevent humans from colonizing Mars.

I think it's worth mentioning that Tesla doesn't just compete against other auto manufacturers. They (currently anyway) compete against public transportation systems and well designed, walkable cities. They seem to be a better solution than, say, IC cars, but in the long run we may see the world moving away from personal vehicles, electric or not. If nothing else, as cars become more intelligent, they become smaller, lighter and cheaper. Tesla may not have much advantage when we're all whizzing around in self-driving mopeds or whatever the future provides us.
At my former workplace in the north suburbs of Chicago it happened to a few cars. I think they were on the edges of the parking lot.
Yes, explain what is wrong with my statement. Where exactly is the error? Write it out and bracket the parts that are incorrect.
This.

It’s not just a random part of a car their stealing. It’s entirely possible that loosing the catalytic converter cascades into being jobless and homeless.
Driving without a converter is incredibly polluting and should be considered a crime against humanity, so stealing them should definitely be a serious crime and not just stealing an “autopart”
the Green New Deal (GND) (now mostly dead) included a lot of real support for oil workers and others who would lose their jobs without this plan -- so, since we didn't get the GND, I would presume a lot of these folks will be losing jobs, but presumably a bunch of them will get jobs to help destroy the planet in other ways -- building highways, etc.

https://berniesanders.com/issues/green-new-deal/

A just transition for workers. This plan will prioritize the fossil fuel workers who have powered our economy for more than a century and who have too often been neglected by corporations and politicians. We will guarantee five years of a worker’s current salary, housing assistance, job training, health care, pension support, and priority job placement for any displaced worker, as well as early retirement support for those who choose it or can no longer work.
> Their heat pumps and giga press are first of their kinds. They were things the old players said would never work and are now trying to adopt.

I can't find anything that says other manufacturers said "heat pumps won't work".

> It's also worth pointing out that Tesla's have a lower accident rate than the national average.

What does this have to do with innovation? Many of the vehicles on the road have lower accident rates than the national average.

Tesla is also notorious for vehicle accident and safety stats being misleading, and doubly so when its around the topic of AP/FSD.
There are always optical usb3/displayport/thunderbolt cables but that adds a lot of $$ to the build
This is indeed nasty. Imagine you have a server built using asyncio style multitasking, and one of the tasks tries to do disk i/o ... This basically throws the entire asyncio style programming out of the window.
I know that this was "a thing" among American Jews as well in the first half of the 20th century. Yiddish was the language you spoke when you didn't want the kids to know what you were saying, and you didn't pass it down because you wanted to assimilate.
That's clever, this sounds like an improvement on the way they were making these in the 70's. Or maybe they coat the inflated forms with the plastic that will become the vapor barrier later? Anyway, there are so many variations on this theme I'm pretty sure that you'll be able to find examples of all of those in practice.

What I find a bit annoying about dome construction in general is that people are always incredibly busy showing what things look like as they go up, but not so much when they are in actual use, what kind of maintenance they end up with and how they look after 5, 10, 15 and 30 years. Because the interesting part of a building is how well it holds up over the longer term.

The person who shoots you being judged to be "white trash" won't bring you back from the dead. Don't test those signs in America if you value your life.
I agree, if only.

I look forward to a more multi-polar world. As an elderly USA citizen, I have been enriched by our owning the reserve currency, but I think that free ride should end sometime, my guess is within the next ten years. I am of course grateful for this advantage that I did not earn.
It's because they're live examples. If you change the css in the textbox, the example will be updated with your changes.
The danger of this shit is that its stopped being a choice. 10 years ago I had a choice I could pick „safe“ non-startup style business to work for. No anymore now every young person that has come into the field sees acting recklessly and being a douche totally cooly and our management have drunk Jeff Sutherlands coolant. I fantasize about becoming a bee rancher in southern Germany.
Yes. Tesla is notorious for initial quality problems. To the point they are the only major automaker who doesn’t voluntarily report the numbers. In states where they are obligated to they rank a distant last.
My experience is the exact opposite. As a well-educated generalist, I’ve been able to drop into a number of different fields and find great opportunities.

By gaining “medium” competence in multiple areas, I have repeatedly been the only person in town who could bring three or four competencies together for a task.

I think one of the most obvious ways “jobs are moving” is towards self-sufficiency and small, flexible teams that can jump into new and rapidly changing situations.

Generalists wanted!
> No-one is advocating for "massive populations", so you're pretty much throwing shade on a straw man.

Many people are. Our current global population is massive. Humans and their livestock account for 96% of all mammal biomass on earth and we're rapidly exterminating the remaining 4%. And people want it to grow significantly, e.g., the person I just replied to.

> On the contrary, advocating for population reduction is inherently classist, since this requires government management, and ruling classes will inevitably protect their own ranks first.

No it doesn't, that's just false. The most highly consuming countries on earth have naturally stable or declining populations.

And making arguments about the ruling class protecting their own ranks or deploying authoritarian government control over others doesn't really make sense because they do that now, they'll do that when populations are growing, they'll do that when populations are shrinking. You can't have that as your argument.
I took my love of gaming and parlayed it into a YouTube channel. It’s been a fantastic experience.

Making videos is hard work and the learning curve is steep if you don’t have a background in video and (more importantly) audio. But to your point about an audience: on YT, if you build it, they will come. Most interactions in the comments have been pleasant and interesting.

If you’re at all that way inclined, I recommend you consider it or - even better - try it.

EDIT: Forgot to add, although it might have been clear from the context - I’m heavily introverted.
But these aren’t just bug fixes which, unlike other manufacturers Tesla does fix over the air, they are new apps, games, and other features. I don’t expect a product to ship with every possible feature and never be updated. Do you not update your OS on your laptop?
I think what we are witnessing is an evolutionary paradigm shift.

For most of human history, contraceptives didn't exist, so evolution just made us want sex and the reproduction part followed automatically.

Now that contraceptives stopped that trick from working, only the people who genuinely want kids will be selected for, while the people who merely want sex will die off.

What no one seems to be connecting is revelations about the NSA-SCS presence in US embassies, including the one in Cuba, to the microwave theory. The RF spectrum around those sites are probably the world's most monitored places in the world, done so by some of the most sensitive instruments available. If this was due to microwaves, the USG would know it, and it would now be too politically difficult to hide or ignore. So we would know it by now too.

SF has ranked choice voting for local seats, no primary. Anyone willing to put an (R) next to their name doesn't have a serious chance, because they're clearly just out of step with the city.

In practice elections are often quite competitive between the two major Democratic factions: moderates and progressives. Right now the mayor (Breed), state reps (Weiner, Chiu), and congressional rep (Pelosi) are moderates. The board of sups is 6-3 prog dominated, partially due to Breed becoming mayor and her seat being lost to apartment-tax Preston.

There's a shuffle happening right now due to the downstream consequences of Harris becoming VP that will result in Chiu's seat being taken by prog-allied Haney or Campos (no viable moderate is running, I believe). The rest of the progs support Campos though, so Haney is shifting toward moderate positions (e.g. supporting housing approvals) to improve his chances.
Ha, my i9 7900x can go beyond that doing video encoding. Bit I suppose it’s a HEDT part I suppose.
You’re talking about an asset that you could have bought on 90% of the days in the last 10 years and made a profit. That has seen at least 50,000% or more gains in that timeframe.
This seems like a quick path to losing respect from your team. Are you an IC or management?

I mean, I kind of get it, but I also believe that there's a sense of zen humility in, say, doing the dishes.

You always get functions handed to you in programming languages. CPU instructions are handed to you. Scheme, has a small core of special forms which are handed to you. You build up bigger specific things from small general things.

In factorio you create bigger functions from smaller ones as explained in the article in great detail. The routing and layout part is about organization, but the more abstract notions of combinations and ratios are "functional" in the sense of the article.
"Given that there is a highly virulent novel virus, [the odds are stacked against the anti-vaxxers] because if you believe that you can somehow avoid getting infected then you are not calculating probabilities properly and so you are underestimating the odds of contracting the virus and surviving, i.e. [the odds are stacked against them] and they don't realize it."

Previous poster explained why the odds are not stacked against unvaccinated people who are otherwise healthy.

Hopefully that clears everything up for you.

> "It hasn't been done so it probably can't be done" is a really dumb attitude. It's utterly defeatist.

No, that's not what I am saying. What I am saying is that if something has not been done yet, you should think why that is. And if it turns out that someone could have already done it with existing technology, one should really consider why is that. Yes, maybe it's one of your reasons, or maybe is that it isn't worth it, or that there are implementation issues that are independent of the storage technology, or whatever. It's a basic step before evaluating any solution and it is missing constantly in crypto discussions. And the worst thing is that, when we point out that there are other issues apart from crypto/nocrypto, the only response we get is "but it could work" and "don't be defeatist".

That basic question could be applied to your avatar example. A game developer could implement a similar system where the only allowed avatars are the "official" ones, and you need to buy them. You don't need NFTs for that, and yet you don't see it a lot. I think PlayStation had only official avatars, but they discontinued them in the latest PS5. Could it be that it isn't a feature users want? That the development costs are greater than the possible profits?

Not good, they are hard to affix solar panels to and the amount of light that makes it into the interior where it can be trapped as heat is minimal. Insulation properties can be pretty good though and you could make it into a selective surface with the South side black and the North side white if you wanted. That should help to trap and retain at least some heat.

I've visited an Earthship somewhere in Iowa and it was incredible how efficient it was, midwinter and absolutely comfortable inside with barely any extra heating. Passive solar is a very powerful concept, but you will need a massive thermal sink if you don't get enough sunlight during the winter to tide you over the bad days. Probably easier to add a small amount of auxiliary heating to take the edge off if you ever need it.
Umm I don't know seems like a lot of words for someone / something that got lucky. I am only familiar with Flipkart where Tiger global invested billions and it would have turned into humongous piece of turd. To think about it everyone was losing patience with Flipkart loses including proven "investment genius" Masayoshi Son. If that Flipkart investment sank billions, Tiger Global would never have recovered. But Indian governments protectionist policy of not allowing Walmart to settle previously. And then later on suddenly allowing to Walmart to take majority stake in India's "crown jewel" Flipkart. For those who know India it was a kind of "License fee" for Walmart to operate in India.

Flipkart owners were absolute crybabies when losing money and market share. They claimed it is another case of enslaving India by foreign companies like East India company hundreds of years back. Later on they forgot all nationalism and quite happy sold majority to Walmart.

I am sure with enough time and effort one can find many more of these kind of investments from Tiger Global. All this talk of outsourcing work to external consultants seems straight from people who would not know head from their ass.
So even after spectacular failure of Son's Global Fund people feel this kind of cultish hype about investors work.
I mean just leave a window open unless you're starved for memory? I always have an emacs org mode window open and a vscode window open.
I'm very hyped for where AI will go. It's like the Internet in 1993. We're seeing a lot of toys out now and a few practical uses. In a decade we'll still see a lot of toys and more practical uses, but it might take a bit more time to really see lifechanging stuff. It's quite likely many will switch to working with AI by 2025, in the same way many switched to working on React now.

The catch is that curved edges are a pain in the ass to fit furniture in, and varying sizes of dome homes have different curve angles, so you can't just make standard "curved" furniture. An box is a box regardless of size, and any couch fits against any flat wall. Sectional couches now let you customize the size to fit bigger or smaller boxes.

Unless you get a lot of custom pieces, you can lose a lot of space or end up with awkward and ugly situations, so it really only works for people who have the time and resources to spend on custom interior design.

Because of all this, resale of the home can be difficult, because your market is limited to the small community of people

Perhaps as 3d and custom manufacturing becomes more commonplace and price competitive with assembly line products, there will be more of an appetite for the amount of customization that these kinds of homes require.
Yup, Elon Musk suckered us all in.
They don't seem to be weighing any factors at all, other than fire safety. Wood is renewable, cheap, cheaper to construct with, much more environmentally benign than concrete, very fire-safe (though not as safe as some), etc., etc.

As was mentioned by other commenters, affordable housing has a value that can be balanced against fire safety. Carbon contribution as well.

Everything has trade-offs. "Safe Enough" needs to be an allowable state.
Not exactly. Here’s a really good blog post on the perf improvements: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/performance-improvemen...
Yes, the averages can and do change—that is my point. A changing average suggests something about the system is changing. It doesn’t need to be compared to preindustrial temperatures, but it is a good baseline because the temperature variation (as shown in the chart) was pretty small within that timeframe compared to the changes we are seeing today.
