> Sucks that others had problems with it but everyone I know including ourselves couldn’t be more happy with their Tesla

This is my experience talking to everyone I know with a Tesla. Not saying the complaints aren't real, but the internet really does bring out the selection bias when it comes to people having issues with their purchase. If you look at Consumer Reports for most satisfied car purchases, all of the Teslas make the top 10.
One Target store. One spike in shoplifting. What does it mean for SF?
The NES version is quirky, as your link points out. It's best described as an 8-sided die, with rolls for 8 or the previous piece triggering a single reroll. The probability of the next piece being an "I" do not increase after a long drought.

Newer versions of Tetris give random permutations drawn from a 7-tetrominoe bag, so the longest possible drought between two "I" pieces is 12 tetrominoes.

"Custom" meant to me that the item was customized for the user.

Here it's being used to mean that the item was customized for the manufacturer, which is completely different. Any color of keycaps you want as long as they're black, no printing available on the non-querty keys, but six types of switches.

Also bad if I need any spare parts, because they're nonstandard, and would be hard to source and expensive.

These are more like exotic cars than working tools.

They basically want you to swear loyalty to the Party, and even after that, if you're a straight white cis male your diverse experiences are judged insufficient and you won't get hired. Universities are no longer grounds for intellectual exploration; they're factories, and professors are assembly line workers pushing out tiny variations from the accepted ideology du jour.
Yeah seems like this would be a simple workaround if companies did start adopting this practice
yup - strict tables is very welcome.

This also is an interesting tidbit:

"The query planner now omits ORDER BY clauses on subqueries and views if removing those clauses does not change the semantics of the query."

Curious how it might improve queries -- I wonder how many folks were doing potentially redundant order by's in subqueries
rare occurrence I imagine but good check to not have everything in one place
IMO Git is decentralization-ready but the rest of the infrastructure necessary to make it practical is not widely available/in use. The necessary peer-to-peer and networks of trust are still not a solved problem, or if they are they've for some reason are not popular enough to be in wide use.
This is only tangentially related to the article, but I think it is quite interesting that how a change of context reveals our biases.

I know people who would usually argue that immigration is inherently good and beneficial to everyone. They tend to be either libertarians or left-wingers. Ordinarily, it would be really hard to convince them otherwise.

However, when it comes to climate change and the possibility of waves of climate refugees, almost all of them seem to agree that there are some downsides.

You're right. That's my fault, sorry about that.

I pretty much perfected my smokes over a decade of practice so I could sleep and leave it alone all night, but some part of my subconscious kept me awake all night, thinking something is wrong. I would wake up and check the remote every 2h or so and, despite the fact that everything was fine, I never got over it. Once I hooked up the Guru I slept like a baby. It's likely because of my experience with my cheap smokers back when I started in 2010 that required constant attention. Either way, the most benefit I gained from this setup is recording smokes for future reference. It'll help me plan a lot better.
A Docusign hack would be downright amazing. Among other things, you'd probably get to see how much big oil pays direct to dictators, or (more likely) the entities they control.
> As San Francisco remains locked in a fierce debate over how best to respond to crime, shoplifting has become one flash point of the battle, dividing people across sharp political lines.

It's interesting how one political party is perceived as "pro shop-lifting." I never would have imagined that would be a position any reasonable person would take.

> Are those taxes effectively targeting products that are imported?

Nope, pretty much anything that is not deemed basic biological need has some amount of Luxury Consumption Tax, or ÖTV.

Alcohol, electronics, cars, fuel ,communication services, communication devices, cola and similar drinks, cosmetic, newspapers etc.

The rate and the items will change all the time. Especially for the fuel, it's used as a buffer to keep gas prices stable as the Turkish lira and oil prices fluctuate. Currently the luxury tax on gas and diesel is 0 because they gradually reduced it to keep the price somewhat stable as the oil prices soar and the Turkish lira falls. When the oil prices were low and the lira was strong, Turkey had the most expensive fuel prices in the world. Currently, it's the cheapest in Europe.

The real kicker is that they're still other people's computers. There's definite benefits as well as costs. Ignoring either is not a good idea.

"It looks like you forgot to do X; that's needed to do Y."

"It looks like you forgot to do X. That's needed to do Y."

I would actually prefer the second one here. It's neutral and to the point.

I guess the problem with the first one is that the reader might interpret the semicolon exactly in the way that you intended it, as an attempt on your behalf to "control the tone". Depending on the personal disposition of the receiver he or she may or may not like it.
Thanks for the suggestion, but for now I can only bookmark it for later. My priority right now is to reach basic competency ASAP, so I'm running Spacemacs. I love the "batteries included" thing, but just installing it took like an hour of fiddling before I just gave up and ingored the error message. I don't think it'd be wise to fiddle around with the settings if even the defaults are going haywire.

You don't want to know the answer to this question.
I'm totally serious too.
This is why I insist on never calling it "pinned pointer" in the post, even if not explicitly.
I'm aware the term is used in the standard library docs (for context: `Pin`'s tagline is "A pinned pointer."), but in my eyes that's a misnomer 99% of the time.

It might be a good idea to split the wording thoroughly and officially (into "pinned" vs. "pin"/"pinning …"), since this is such a common sticking point and seemingly mixing concepts right now. (I.e. "pinned pointers" are (usually) "`Pin`-wrapped" but not "pinned in place". It only becomes more muddled once you have inherently-pinning or "add-on" pins without `Pin` in their type.)
Both should be the default.

Rust has a robust memory model, but everything else about it insists on copying the fragility of the NPM ecosystem.

The recent hoopla around a bunch of Rust mods quitting revealed that my suspicions are precisely true — key Rust staff also sit on the NPM board!

Wow, this is beyond ridiculous. This is the NGO I was involved with. It did not scale to 30,000 it failed miserably at merely dozens of simultaneous Users. The linked Video is the Exec who took responsibility for ordering Polis trying his best at PR Crisis Management. He was fired shortly afterwards. Apparently You don’t understand German, because in the video he is admitting the technical problems with polis. I‘m just amazed how anyone would point to that video, to tout the supposed strengths of their platform.

Emojis would like a word with you ;)

In all seriousness, I think standardizing letters and symbols has done a lot to promote basic literacy. And there are plenty of language innovations like slang, emojis, kaomoji, new words like email, the prevalence of alternate text treatments like bolds, italics, underlines, strikethroughs, etc etc.
So... People who aren't criminals... Might become criminals... After committing a crime... I guess?
We're trying to do both at the same time. And there's no reason not to do both at the same time. a) We are all pissing in the same bed, and b) if we truly believe the Mbuti and Twa are people just like we are and, ipso facto, deserve the same protections, then we must fight for both. We can't carve out an "exploit pygmies" exception and be consistent.
The way Fethullah Gülen got red-carpet immigration treatment in the US stinks to high heaven, though. It seems suspicion the US was behind the coup attempt is widespread in Turkey and not limited to AKP supporters.

Just because two applications have somewhat the same features - the purpose of the application as stated by the developers is different and with that there are different kind of optimization and shortcomings . ;-)
Maybe the simplest way to explain NFTs is to compare them to casino chips: "if you have a casino chip and that casino goes out of business, your chip will most likely be worthless"

Say you take 10 grand to Bob's Casino in Las Vegas, buy chips and turn them into 100 grand at blackjack. You put the chips in your bag and go home to sleep because you're pretty drunk. Bob's Casino burns down overnight and Bob announces it he now bankrupt and going out of business. Your 100 grand in chips are now worthless.

The top answer for "are casino chips legal tender?" on Google is Because casino chips are not legal tender, they are not legally transferable. That doesn't mean some people don't try to exchange them for cash or chips at rival casinos. Although the practice was once popular in Las Vegas, the government stepped in to prevent money laundering and counterfeiting.

The U.S. dollar is the global reserve currency because it is backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and people have confidence the U.S. will last. Bob's Casino chips are back by Bob.

NFT's are backed by who?
It's not that hard to push to multiple remotes. Perhaps more projects ought to have multiple GitHub/Bitbucket/GitLab/etc repos. Then it wouldn't matter if one of them went down now and again.
The problem with art is good provenance. NFTs specifically solves this issue. Provenance was a common word used by art collectors describing the issues with Art auctions during NFT.NYC. Noah Davis really opened my eyes to this topic, here's his speech at NFT.NYC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeVZeXsRKhs

It would take a while to explain provenance in crypto space. It's largely based on credibility and ownership of addresses. Once credibility and address is established, it is a simple operation to prove the Bridge picture came from a specific artist. Things like ENS (Ethereum Name Service) are examples of deep support for provenance in Crypto.
Imagine letting toxic HN comments get to you lmao
Fair, but feels like that significantly reduces the utility of pinned types then if for certain values you lose the ability to mutate values when the compiler overwise knows that there is a single mutable reference.
I just described that very arc to my partner as one possible new direction to take my career. I have 30 years full stack experience with embedded systems, and I am at a point where I want to look for founding engineer positions. If my team grew bigger than I could manage myself (while still being able to keep my hands in the code), I would happily step down to an engineering director role. In the improbable event that it was wildly successful, I would want leave before things scaled too far… only to repeat the cycle again somewhere else.

Ahem. €700 in Munich gets you a room in shared accommodation. €1200 would still be a pretty good deal.
Interesting to see them mention tulpas here. It's always been a bit of a meme online, but I knew a pretty tenured hypnotist who was utterly terrified of the things. He'd seen tulpas cause irreversible psychological damage to the people who adopted them, where many people would become completely attached to a character or particular fiction in their head. This could cause them to act out involuntarily, induce constant paranoia or even completely alter their perception of reality. He figures the human brain is simply not meant for multiple inhabitants, and I'm inclined to agree. Hearing the occasional story of a person who's gotten in too far with tulpas just makes me sad, particularly because there's no real easy "fix" for it. Oftentimes, people wall themselves in to an altered reality and refuse to leave, be it by their own volition, or even another's.

What? You’re gonna need to expand on that.
Their model was something like buy houses for 'market_price(house) * 95%' and then sell them for 'market_price(house)'. The article argues that they should have devised a core complex model for asking prices, but an equally viable strategy would be to make sure their market price estimations were sufficiently accurate. That doesn't take any company specific information so it is entirely plausible (although false) that their Zestimate values would work well enough.
I might have this wrong but there was a definite use case for the semi-colon: it follows a colon in a list; can be used as a more flowing version of a bullet point list; can do so without interrupting the readers chain of thought.

edit: grammarly says I'm wrong and that should be a colon followed by a comma separated list. I might just be old or confused.

Perhaps we should downweight major media opinion pieces. They seem mostly not to be very good for HN.
Your argument is pure sophistry.

Microsoft is a member of the RIAA and works closely with the MPAA to further control over society with DRM and intellectual property restrictions like the DMCA.

It is well within the power of an entity the size of Microsoft to oppose something like the DMCA and the fact that they don't indicates not that they can't as you imply, but that they don't want to.
You have to watch Vanilla sky! I think most people's problem is that they want something easy to watch, and recent. This is because we're lazy, and we are attracted by novelty (and novelty fades away quickly).

"And APIs are way more complicated than that."

APIs for crappy social networks are not more complicated that the needs of electrical safety, power transmission, etc.

you should pick up a book on electrical engineering, maybe then you'd learn to respect 'real' engineering where you can't get away with spit balling everything the way we do in software design. If mechanical engineers had the attitude developers do, planes would be falling out of the sky, and civilisation would have collapsed and died of famine.
Oh it's a long story...where to begin?

It all started in 2006 when the economy grew at 6.6% in Q3 and the Fed still claimed that not tightening was a great insurance policy.

Fast forward:

Subprime crisis

Bernanke says "subprime is contained"

Subprime was not contained

Wheels come off in 2008

Everybody runs away like chicken with their heads cut off

Everybody goes back to Bernanke asking for solutions

Bernanke proposes QE, something that he claims "works in practice, but not in theory"

Slow recovery

More panic

More QE

Temper Tantrum

More QE

13 years of regular QE

2 years of QE on steroids due to COVID

Asset prices only go up

Everything bubble

And here we get to the current scenario where scam companies are worth trillions and Docusign is worth 50B

Your theory has been seen before in other contexts - https://arxiv.org/abs/1110.1556

The Mathematics Department of Moscow State University, the most prestigious mathematics school in Russia, was [around 1975] actively trying to keep
Jewish students (and other “undesirables”) from enrolling in the department.

One of the methods they used for doing this was to give the unwanted students a different set of problems on their oral exam. I was told that these problems were carefully designed to have elementary solutions (so that the Department could avoid scandals) that were nearly impossible to find. Any student who failed to answer could easily be rejected, so this system was an effective method of controlling admissions.

Stories like this terrify me, particularly because I got away with much crazier stuff in high school. In my robotics club, I witnessed a freshman nmap our entire school's network to find the control panel for the school's CCTV cameras. It was completely unprotected, no password or anything. It's hard to say who's at fault for stuff like this, but pushing the blame onto kids seems like an unfortunately common practice nowadays.
> Turkeys' EU accession plan went nowhere, despite Turkey being genuinely serious for years on end.

Only the Turks are to blame for this. Maybe they were serious, but they did a shit job.

Had Turkey quit their bullshit regarding Cyprus, things would probably have gone very differently. Turkey has no legitimate claim to any of Cyprus, as evidenced by literally nobody wanting to live in the Turkish controlled shithole.

From a purely pragmatic point of view it’s hard to imagine a world in which northern Cyprus is genuinely worth more to Turkey than EU membership would be.
The OP said NFTs were "unenforceable", I disagreed. That was the extent of it -- I didn't claim they do anything another identifier can't. A physical ticket is enforceable, isn't it?

The location of the NFTs (what wallets they reside in) is public knowledge on the blockchain. The enforcement part comes by proving you are the owner of one of those wallets. Can someone steal your ID, or your phone with a wallet on it, sure, but as I said earlier, nothing is 100% resistant to illegal activity.
Office is what, 80M lines of code? Impossible for any human to understand.

I expect it is only added to because 1) nobody understands what would happen if you removed something and 2) if you intentionally or inadvertently remove some obscure feature then it breaks the workflow for people who inexplicably depended on that feature.
Which doesn't help either because in the Inspect view you can just click "Screenshot node" on the HTML element.

As with many situations with enterprise software vs. roll-your-own solutions (FOSS or otherwise): reliability, responsibility, and liability are the reasons.

Most enterprise software is purchased to do something the company requires, but is not within the company's actual line of business. Payroll, tax calculations, identity verification, etc.

In these cases "cheap" is not very important so long as the solutions are cheap enough relative to the value of what the company's business. This is also why companies routinely contract out vast amounts of work to highly-paid lawyers - paying someone six figures to do work on a deal that's worth 9 figures is a rounding error, and is not a cost worth optimizing.

More importantly, the third party provides two important pieces: responsibility and liability. Docusign is on the hook if they fail to validate the signers' identity, and if anything goes awry Docusign is on the hook for fixing it. These are features, not bugs, to enterprises who need a function performed but really do not want the liability or responsibility around it.

This is similar to why tech companies outsource to cloud services rather than run on their own metal.
So why is it 50b company?
