One of the secrets about Musk is that he is actually a much better speaker when he just goes of on technical stuff like that.

The problem with Musk is that when you ask him an even slightly open question, he always basically goes to the what he considers the fundamental answer. That's why so many of his answer are the same and people who know him well can already tell what most answers to most question will be.

However good interviewer can actually lead him into explaining into going into actual detail and ask smart follow up question and his answers are usually very good. The problem is, far to often he is either doing presentations like this with Q/A or he does podcast aimed at general audiences.

The best interviews with him are with people like Everyday Austronaut where he gets to follow up multible time to actually get out really good information.

I wish he would do more interviews like that, where people can prepare questions and be more direct at what they want to learn. Musk comes of much better in interviews like that and its where you actually learn more of the technical information. We understand that reusable rockets are important, but not why the engine doesn't blow up after 5 runs.
I can't reply the other one but you truly are grasping for straws, in your exemple you coud get convicted in the origin country if buying was illegal, for importing and for owing/using it in the destination country if those were offences. That's exactly what is going on here, there's no middle man providing the telegram service for people in Germany so if hosting/providing that service is illegal (because telegram allows pro-nazi stuff or whatever) who else but telegram will be held responsible? They are the ones operating in Germany providing the chat/group message thing, if there were a middleman (like it happens with games in some cases) the court would be talking to them, just like happens (traditionally) with importers.
By pure luck.

And any driver facing several years in jail for an accident caused while using the Beta FSD, will engage a proper legal team. Any legal team worth its salt, will immediately subpoena Tesla for documents.

They will present a legal case, that will include past YouTube videos
and Tesla company presentations. They will state that their client was
misled by the company statements, Twitter and YouTube endorsers,
and the contents of the car documentation were minor standard disclaimers.

Contrarily to what many think, most legal teams are actually pretty
smart and astute;-)

I found an old mix-tape (cassette) that I had bought from a thrift shop a long time ago. I needed (mentally) to shift focus from other projects so I decided to see if I could put together a site over a weekend to highlight the mixtape and let people share their own compilation albums.

Fun story: I tried building social-media share buttons (just links, no creepware SDKs or JS imports) and was so confused why my icons disappeared as soon as I added links. That's what happens when you've been using an ad-blocker for so long you forget it's there. :)

GDPR is not merely a list of bad things not to do. You aren’t compliant unless you follow slow, expensive processes to continually demonstrate compliance.
Sure, but satellites do cluster in useful orbits — it’s not some uniform distribution over the space. That significantly increases the chance of direct collision, which has already managed to occur a few times, despite back-of-the-envelope low odds.

And the risk of a runaway effect is fairly unique to the orbital setting. If cars magically kept careening down the highway after a collision, constantly tumbling and shedding parts and disintegrating without losing any kinetic energy, we probably couldn’t tolerate the current density of vehicles on roads.
The X-700 was my first SLR, and I loved shooting with it. The exposure meter on it was spot on and I don't think until later in the DSLR era I had a camera I could trust as much as I did the Minolta to be right without a light meter.
> Do you get it yet?

Every example you listed is an intuitive correlation. You can address the causative relationship between these, but not with the data you provided. All you've done is list a bunch of correlations, and asserted a causative relationship based on shared implicit context. There may be one, but you have not demonstrated it.

Let's work an example without implicit context. I tell you:

P(A|B) >> P(A)

What have you learned about B->A? Literally nothing because the relationship between A and B could be any of:

- A causes B (direct causation);

- B causes A (reverse causation);

- A and B are both caused by C (common causation);

- A causes B and B causes A (bidirectional or cyclic causation);

- There is no connection between A and B; the correlation is a coincidence.

No. This is a better approximation for boundary layer turbulence, it's not a golden equation. Better approximations for annoying problems in fluid dynamics are published quite often. I think has plenty of practical use though, I'll probably be trying to integrate it into some cfd work to see how it behaves compared to our current approach at work. Disclaimer that I am not a physics phd, but I do work with a hydraulic research group so I've picked up bits and pieces.

If you want to see a fun example of fluid dynamics approximations, look at the Wikipedia pages for the Darcy friction factor and Colebrook white equation.
Nice — in a similar realm I made kcal[0] to scratch a very specific itch for myself and my spouse. Our diet is mostly plant based but we both also do a lot of weight training and running so we needed something for close tracking of macros. It’s maybe 75% finished but takes care of all our needs with some quirks so it’s slightly neglected now.

> HN is famously dismissive of new ideas that go on to become billion dollar companies or products (the iPod and dropbox for two easy examples).

That's a pretty misleading conclusion to draw: for example, here's the whole Dropbox thread:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863

One guy says “you can already build such a system yourself” but that point was immediately contested on quite accurate grounds. Someone else had the correct take (“This is genius. It's is problem everyone is having, and everyone knew it”) and the rest of the thread is similar – lots of use of terms like “great”, various technical questions, comments on how to improve their presentation, etc.

Re: the iPod, are you sure you're not confusing HN with Slashdot.org? The iPod launched 6 years before HN.
I never understand all the hate for certain tools. OOP is a tool, FP is a tool, and other programming paradigms are different tools. If you're bad a software architecture and you tend to write convoluted OOP software, you're probably also going to make a mess using FP as well. Applied correctly, they can both be great tools for different problem sets.

Writing something that inherently has a lot of state, like a simulation, game, or user interface? OOP might be a good choice. Working on a backend API that's basically a database wrapper, a data processing pipeline, or something else with less inherent state, FP may be a better tool. Choose the rights tools, design good architectures, and stop blaming the language paradigm.

Some Christian societies are more individualistic than others, but almost no non-Christian societies are individualistic. And even the Christian societies that aren’t individualistic are still much more so than virtually anywhere else.

I think he's more in-depth about the rocket stuff than the Tesla stuff. He seems to exhibit more of the broad sentiments and more manager-esque talk when it comes to FSD.

I don't know how that plays into legal ramifications at all; I'm sure there will be the inevitable "well Elon said it can drive itself and make breakfast and solve P=NP!" but I have no clue if that carries any legal weight and frankly I don't care. He's a bit of a massive douche (no worse than bog-standard billionaires) but he has nerd chops and done a good job of hyping electric cars and space.

Honestly I kinda wish he'd just focus on the rocket stuff and lay off the FSD until it's a bit more mature exactly because of the media and lawyers chomping at the bit.
Since I already butted in...

I can sympathize with a sensitivity to things that others take in stride: for example, TVs in public spaces, jumping and cutting frenetically, impossible to really ignore.

But here's another example: in the 80s there was still a live issue of the convention that 'he' could cover both genders, and so on. I'd been reading long enough, with enough older writing, that I can remember how attempts at nonsexist writing could be jarring and awkward -- arresting the reader full stop for the sake of a cultural-politics position completely irrelevant to the point being written about. (Especially since those newer conventions had to evolve.) For people to come over to the newer way took time (and I wasn't won over instantly myself) -- maybe it's useless to say this, but the Right Answer to How We Should All Talk is not divinely revealed.

"But this isn't for liberation! It's dumb!" Maybe. The point is that in a dynamic free culture you get comfortable with genuine differences and you learn it's pointless to make a fuss over such a harmless eccentricity. And a dynamic free culture is the type that can learn to get better over time. I think seeing so many complaints, so consistently, about this eccentricity, is a real (albeit trivial) signal of a cultural problem. (Admittedly I dunno, maybe it's just that HN has a lot more commenters and the fraction who do this is a big enough number now. But it's part of a broader pattern.)

I hope this helps you see my point of view, starting this thread. Can't speak for Kragen.

> I panicked, I realized that I am as bad at picking bad stocks as good ones. I felt like a fraud! And I was laughing so hard that I felt like a fraud.

Seems easy enough. Just tell them to give the money to you to buy them "special" stocks and options, keep the money, and make them do the New York Times crossword puzzle or something. You've then just "special stocks and option picks lose all [their] money fast and intelligently" and kept your end of the bargain. The original task is in such broken English anyways I doubt your legally liable for anything.

The front downstairs bathroom if there's one near the entrance would be about all that seems suitable.
If Telegram is illegal to use in Germany and it has no presence in Germany, its users in Germany are the ones breaking the law.

How do you know what really makes the govt look bad eventually gets declassified?
Like sibling post mentioned, you don't seem to be the target audience. I know a lot of people, friends and family, who constantly leave stuff behind, in restaurants, other people's places, on the train, in shops, you name it. 99% of the time, no one's gonna steal it, but trying to figure out where the hell you left something, if you do leave stuff behind often, becomes increasingly difficult. With something like an Airtag, it's no longer an issue. You get altered before you get too far, and even if you do, you can figure out later where your stuff is.

I once left my umbrella in a hire car. It took me 2 weeks to realize it was missing. Turns out no one touched it and I could see it on the map, in the parking lot of the hire car company. So I showed up, and within minutes, we pinned down which car it was in. Without Airtag, I would not even remember where I could have possibly left it, after two weeks! Learnt my lesson to turn on separation alert after that.

Now I need a smaller Airtag for my sunglasses — expensive and easy to leave behind.

Needing an Airtag is like needing a case for your phone. A lot of people keep dropping their phone so they put a case on it. In 13 years of owning a smart phone, I've never dropped mine. But I don't claim that phone cases are only useful if you throw your partner's phone off the balcony after a fight.
I did the math on this recently. Supposedly NYT paid $3m for Wordle. The NYT games subscription that includes their crossword and potentially Wordle is $40/year. If they put Wordle behind their games subscription, they would need 75k new users to break even in one year. That seems realistic given how popular Wordle is.

I'll also speak anecdotally. As someone who has done the NYT crossword every day for several years... Wordle + the social sharing has been scratching the same itch and I've actually stopped doing the daily NYT crossword. So buying Wordle could also be protective of their existing revenue.

But aren't they doing that mostly for performance via better memory layout and thus better cache locality? ie: arrays of objects vs objects of arrays.

> Every student debtor is 7.5% less in debt in real terms than they were last year.

Because Federal Student Loan payments were deferred last year, interest free.

Such loans can also be forgiven -- canceled and considered paid in full -- for borrowers which qualify for certain programs. One of the most widespread are programs for Public Service job holders, Teachers, and National Guard members. These borrowers are credited as paid in full after holding a qualifying job and making payments for ten years.

The student loan payment deferral due to COVID-19 relief did not extend the terms of such borrowers; they are credited with the year of service, even though payments were not required.

Then there are a constellation of programs to have student loan debt reorganized and in some cases reduced. You can settle on monthly payments of no more than 15% of your current income, and if you can make every payment without fail for some time (is it also 10 years? I think longer) then the remaining balance can be forgiven.

Global, blanket cancellation of a student loan debts is not yet a thing, and may never be.

All this is Federal debt. Private debt is another world... but private debt can be reorganized, renegotiated, or discharged (canceled) via bankruptcy.
If your car has a smart key, it can be over $100 to replace and another $100 to have a dealer or locksmith re-program it.

Edit, more things that are expensive:

- if you live in an apartment with nfc entry, they might charge an arm and a leg to replace it, even if the actual device is only a few dollars

- IDK how much it costs to replace an apartment mailbox key, but I've been warned that if you lose one they need to re-key the whole mailbox

- maybe you don't feel safe with a house key in the wild and need to re-key your house (same for your car/s)

- if you have work keys, they might over-charge to replace lost keys
When was the last time you picked up the phone and checked? Serious question, because I try it all the time, by default. They will either not answer the phone, refuse entirely, have a problem with payments, or mess up/deprioritize your order. In fact a lot of restaurants that do take phone orders still use Doordash and the like on their end, and you'll end up getting an email/text from them regardless.
Yeah I thought there were a lot of weird things about the results. As you say, it's hard to explain the pattern observed in terms of the pre-K program itself; the explanations in the article sort of ignore the interim outcomes.

My guess is something like what you're mentioning is going on, or there's some kind of odd, subtle sampling bias or attrition bias.

Then again too, if there's another similar design that comes to the opposite conclusion maybe it's just sampling variability and it's all null in the end.
> I thought it a good idea to kindly ask for my wallet and phone back by convincing them the phone was several generations older, it would be locked as soon as I returned home.

About a decade ago when El Salvador was more dangerous, cell phone theft at gun point or knife point was more common. And well SIM cards used to be easier to remove from phones.

So the "good thieves" would allow you to remove the sim card from the phone before stealing it from you.

There were also times where the thief would be "pickier" than you, so if you had a very old or a damaged phone they would just give you your phone back after mugging you.

Two tricks were faking an ugly phone while carrying without a battery cover and cover it with duct tape. Or carrying a hidden good phone and a visible old phone.
