>S&P 500 will end 2022 at 4,700

What are these guys smoking? S&P will be below 3500 optimistically speaking by the end of 2022
1. Couldn’t have been won without it though. 2. Ships, jets, and rockets all require fuel. Coal is required to produce steel. 3. Could have been, but this trend is reversing. The only place becoming more unified might be Europe, and the relationship between China and Russia. We are shifting away from the unipolar world order of dollar hegemony. 4. Would agree if nuclear is counted.
The same way people buy a phone without trying it. Electric cars will be appliances. Some will pay premium for Tesla like for Apple, and others will find that Hyundai's are a good bang for buck too.

There’s a tremendous amount of political power that can be gained by promoting climate change, i.e. the ability to control every aspect of the economy and peoples’ lives. You don’t think that’s a potentially juicy incentive to a budding young technocrat?

Dumb question: what’s the best way to learn proof writing — let’s say for “fun”?
I got some Lions Mane capsules, and tried taking them. The recommended dose is 3 capsules per day. I started with 1, but after a couple of days started having slight headaches. I didn't feel like continuing any more.
> Ford envisions a new process that will result in a non-negotiable price for EVs and rely on customer orders, rather than dealer inventories

It's worth noting that Ford was one of the major automakers who funded the lobbying effort against the very Tesla model they now seek to join.
Yeh, MS seems to be like every other large corp in this case. Too big to handle for one security team. So you end up with, some parts of it that got security down; but all those < V3 services? they seem to be written by 3rd world contractors who code-review via stackoverflow
>what problem Bitcoin solves (inflation).

Some inflation is fine (some would argue has some value/purpose) - what you don't want is too much inflation, or deflation ("hyper"). But I doubt any cryptocurrencies can truly solve it (Bitcoin least of all).

But what I find fascinating, especially from the Bitcoin crowd, is how they trash all fiat currencies ("because inflation!!"), but still use fiat to compare/set the price of Bitcoin.

Basically, without fiat to give it value, their precious Bitcoin is worthless.
If you're willing to wait, ordering a Ford EV online isn't much like buying from a dealer. They're involved, but it feels only incidentally. Of course, if you're not willing to wait, the "price" is dealer markup and the usual experience.
Should do it for all models. The new Ford Bronco is in high demand with low supply. Some dealerships are adding anywhere up to 40k on top of the MSRP as a “market adjustment”.
Non-US intelligence agencies exist.
Cryptocurrency needs to be banned.
It's a major factor in climate change
"I think it's fine for them to be on platforms as long as they share my views and say the things I want them to".

Man, what a crybaby.

Corporations making meaningless gestures for empty "support" is not a positive, it's virtue signally to sell you more widgets. It's a more subtle version of ads. Why are you asking for more of it?
Wasn't aware that it was a country lecturing you
I thought Google Wave, then Google Buzz were really starting to go in the right direction. I vaguely remember following a tutorial for writing custom code for Buzz; I don’t remember the details but I remember enjoying the experience.

BTW, I set up an instance of Apache Wave for some family and friends and no one was really that interested in using it. More excitement when it was a Google service, to your point that changes often rely on a “massive name.”
> there’s no reason to charge different prices for the same product in the same state, same county and sometimes even the same town

There is, and that reason is that you want to charge the maximum amount that the customer will pay. And different customers have different maximums.

Airlines are the kings of a low-margin industry being incredibly aggressive about optimizing pricing, and the exact same ticket will cost you wildly different amounts through different sales channels, on different days, etc.
Nuclearize all the things, like we are in 1960s. It’s actually exciting that it came back in force.
It depends on which department you take math course in. Any course offered in a math department, even statistics and probability will be treated formally there because that's what mathematics is. What you probably need is to take math courses from an applied mathematics department like physics or engineering.

But math is a broad field so you're going to have to pick specific courses. For example, partial differential equations are quite common. But if you learn it in a math department it'll have proofs and full rigour just like a course in set theory. While some techniques for solving them will be covered, we mostly study the underlying mathematical structures, why certain techniques work, etc. If you take it in a physics department they'll teach you techniques and numerical methods to solve a certain class of problems like heat equations or fluid dynamics. But learning through direct applications will inevitably limit you to those techniques while learning things in full generality tends to make it easier to pick up specific techniques when needed.
> you should judge a military operation early

what matters is how you adjust vs your mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, even during military operations, because nothing is known in advance.

Definitely not always the case, but quite often you end up needing to take on more responsibility, at least within the same company. The states has different bits that I'm unaware of, but in Canada there's no such thing as not paying income tax, but there are places with lower income tax.
Good job! That's what I wanted to do
And a big mountain with weird atmospheric anomalies around it. There are a lot of myths about Mt. Tahoma, the Native American name for Mt. Ranier. Probably because of the various atmospheric anomalies, or... who knows :)

Just kidding around, I see strange cloud formations and other odd looking things wafting off the top or side of it. I can see where someone could mistake some of those things for something super natural. IMO, Nature is pretty super!
> I'll hazard an analogy: if I refuse to debate certain people on the Internet who don't adhere to my rhetorical standards, am I "imposing my regime on everyone else" (and thus I should be required to debate everyone who wants to debate me)?

Yes, you’re forcing them to abide by your “rhetorical standards”. The point of debate to help someone see your point of view. Nowhere does it require abiding by a certain process. If so, one could make the argument that only those that have not taken logic and learned the proper way to debate can engage in such things. So yes, you’re forcing people to play by your rules, or you refuse to play. It’s actually quite a bit childish.
Maybe they are learning that any hot vehicle made by Ford, Chevy, or even Hyundai is an absolute joke to purchase. Focus RS? Hell I was trying to buy a Fiesta ST and the dealer treated it like it was a Shelby signed by Carrol himself. I had to call so many dealers to buy a Honda Accord at MSRP last year and not get the seat protector, nitrogen tires..., tint, wheel locks that do fuck all, etc.
Why do you think the manufacturer is just going to leave that money on the table?
It’s very easy to not be evil, just define yourself to be good and thus any act that you perform is a necessary part of propagating good on the world.

That you are questioning my status is evil by definition!
I imagine that's why they split into two separate companies. They can run the electric business much like Tesla as a competitor to their ICE business and let it slowly die with the dealerships.
Hi, I'm Jesse. I'm 1/2 of Keyboardio. We have, indeed, been through some stuff, but don't let that scare you off of hardware. We're currently in manufacturing for our third keyboard product.

We're generally pretty happy to chat with first-time hardware founders. Feel free to drop me a note at jesse@keyboard.io.
Since all the comments I've seen thus far have been anti-dealership, I thought I should provide one single solitary reason for dealerships. Before I do- I've never worked at a dealership, or a car company, nor owned a car, nor have I driven a car in over twenty years, so I have almost no skin in this game other than my wife and I bought a car last year.

The one thing dealerships do is that they do have a very slight incentive to address issues related to recalls. This is because dealerships are incentivized to do recalls because these service calls are covered by their agreements with the manufacturer as an independent entity, where as a company owned site would not be.

It could then be argued that dealerships provide some level of accountability to manufactures to be independent in reporting defects.

I think this is a weak argument and does not justify the existence of dealerships, but it is a real argument nonetheless, even if it's not sufficient to justify its own existence.
nobody cares about table service.
Exactly, and with Hydrogen its quick, just like gas.
Ordering online doesn't guarantee you a non-dealership experience. There's no stopping them from adding a $5,000 "market adjustment" to the price of the car you ordered online 9 months prior when you go to pick it up. You cannot force them to sell it at MSRP. This has happened to people that ordered Mach-E's, multiple times.
>The itch.io response here is uniquely abrasive in the field

"Uniquely abrasive"?? I see you haven't seen all the trash-talking from the Laser-Eyed bros in Twitter.
I was told a story about a neuroscience study that involved paralyzing the lead author with curare and manually manipulating his eyeball to study his perception as a result of the manipulation; I was told it was never repeated, although a quick Google to find a reference revealed at least one similar study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3232712/), so I guess it's more popular than it used to be.

Another famous one was Werner Forssmann, the first doctor to perform a cardiac catheterization, who performed the operation on himself first (then walked over to the X-ray room to get a picture to prove he succeeded).

The most useful apps still come from the indie developers; it's just not as high profile as it once was. It's become more artisanal.

If you read MacStories [11], Six Colors [12] and other indie Mac websites, you'd see lots of innovative Mac and iOS apps.
You still get the markup, Tesla just does it directly.
We're now at a point where college math departments have to offer an "introduction to proofs" for students who have never seen one. Even high school geometry is now taught with few or no proofs.
If they change the price last minute can you renege on your side of the deal and get your money back and cancel?
I was pretty prepared to hate this product and, for the first time, leave negative feedback on a LaunchHN telling you not to do this. I'm pleasantly surprised to find that you're not amplifying metrics that (mostly) college attendees would succeed in, and that you intentionally talk down the algorithmic interview and replace it with a real-world-esque system with real-world tasks. I hope you succeed, and let us know when you get further along so I can recommend it where I work. I hate our interviews.
It looks like current pumps fill hydrogen at a rate of about 1kg/minute. A class 8 truck would take more than an hour to fill. At they point just go BEV.

There is absolutely no way that Google will derive direct financial benefits from defending some Ukrainian journalism project from DDOS attacks. So it should be obvious that your assumptions about their motivation is wrong.

Yes, maybe their actions will garner some sympathy among the public. But that mechanism is so generic, it just leads to the same conclusion, i. e. that companies are capable, interested, and legally free to act in the public interest.
The market doesn't pretend that it is science. But it doesn't keep alive things that clearly don't work when there are alternatives that do.

The market values many dimensions, not just a few considerations or what someone decides is "science". Like switching costs. Or failure to get the product into people's hands, even if it is better.

Even setting the price too high matters. Or setting it too low to pay the bills.

And many other things. Including the preferences of millions of people.

A scientist couldn't design an experiment that replicates what the market already is.
This isn’t a hard position, but I’m leaning towards the idea that we may actually have all the desktop software we need, at least in broad strokes. The applications could of course always get better <cough>Microsoft Office<cough>, but I’m not sure there are all that many unfilled needs in desktop software.

“The platform is the application”, in a sense. The last piece of software that really truly changed my life was Waze. And that software couldn’t have been desktop software. The next piece was one of Google Translate and/or the many language translation apps in the App Store, including the camera-based ones. Again, that’s software that if it was useful at all would have a very different level of usefulness as desktop software.

At some point I suspect AI will actually become useful, and that might - MIGHT - open up new desktop software categories. But we aren’t there yet.
Yea but here is my problem.

uint8_t type : 2 // tag = {SSO|OWN|REF|VUE}

I had thought the tag was part of the SSO, but it’s not. Well, not accessible but I think that what some of the unused bits end up being?
Sorry, meant to reply to you earlier.

I got some Lion's Mane capsules from Amazon (though I'm not sure how pure they are; for all I know they crushed up some whitecaps and put those in there). I started with 1/3 the recommended daily dose and started having slight headaches. That was the end of that experiment. :-(
Do you have a general source? I know in many places it's the dealerships themselves contributing to some PAC that advocates for banning it, eg. Oklahoma HB 3994, but I haven't heard of Ford directly doing this. If anything, Ford has locked themselves into the dealership model via historically partnering with them, so now and forever they have to share profit margin with them while Tesla is able to enjoy the full 29% of their automotive gross margins[0].

Good question. I'm interested to know the answer as well.
yeah but you go to the back of the line for another one at a different dealership who hopefully won't screw you.
He was 66-year old at the time of doing this. He wrote a scifi novel that was an expression of his dream and his drive to make it a reality.

He was fully prepared for a terrible ending. He weighed the risks and rewards, and thought it would be worth it.

And it was.

> It's not just Mac software - desktop software in general seems to be stagnating.

Well... the golden ages (which I'd say are the mid-90s to 2010-ish) are over.

- Business software has pretty much consolidated and the existing tooling from office suites to data warehouse and workflow stuff (i.e. SAP) offers so many options that it's incredibly hard for new players to gain a foothold - you need to identify some niche, build it out well enough to offer an actual benefit and market the hell out of your idea, and maybe in 0.1% you have a chance at lucking out.

- there are a bit of open-source efforts (e.g. Thunderbird, Mozilla, LibreOffice) but they lack funding so they struggle along, mostly used by those not wanting to spend money on the above-mentioned pay products

- Utilities from file management (Winrar, Winzip, Total Commander) over media players (Winamp) to task managers have been absorbed by the operating systems. These days, particularly Apple is known for outright ripping off ideas from popular App Store apps.

- the people who made the really innovative apps in the golden age were highschool and college students. These people have since found employment at big companies, removing both the time and the ability to work on side gigs (hard to do a side gig when you're staring at a screen for 40+ hours a week, and why bother with side gigs when your employer demands copyright even over stuff you do on your own time?). Today's young people aren't interested in programming any more, they're more interested in Tiktok or to fight on the political level.

- All major OS platforms have alienated developers. Microsoft with win32 -> .net/WPF -> UWP -> WTF, Apple with Cocoa -> WTF, and Linux never got around to settle on one way of packaging applications and dependencies or on window managers or on <insert long list of forks, disagreements and other crap that happens without a central steward here>.

- it seems like the flurry of cheap or free high-quality IDEs and the consolidation (basically it's VS Code, IntelliJ or Eclipse these days) directly coincided with the end of big-corporate desktop app developments. Basically when no one pays four figures for an IDE any more because no one wants to develop for desktop, it makes sense that the others go down in price (Visual Studio/VS Code) or vanish (Borland).

- Mobile, web-based SaaS and subscription based stuff lured a part of said alienated developers with better pay and actual innovation

- ETA: Games... that's a different beast. Can't argue that there is innovation present. But most of the attention of the major actors seems to be focused on console-exclusive or other walled-garden deals, and the mobile market draws in the f2p whales. There are rare gems (e.g. Factorio) that simply would not work on a console due to a lack of a keyboard, but that's it.
You'd have only put down a refundable deposit with Ford, which the dealership can apply to your purchase, or you can get it refunded by Ford. You have no contractual relationship with the dealer, nor any ownership interest in the car, which is why the dealership that does now own the freshly delivered car is able to demand more money for it.
Because of the reputation. I've bought two cars without driving them first.
Earning Trade fees on stables seems the most legit, and doesn’t require another token as a reward. I’m not convinced staking rewards as a service can work over a longer tail, what ever happened to masternodes as a service lol…
Still a lot of capital going there now.

It’s interesting to see what happens when incentives end on the platforms that don’t just run away with customer funds. 98% of the capital is in place today because of incentives. These all must end eventually.
I can’t imagine my life without audacity lol
If you have a J interpreter installed, I'd like to see what preferred calculators can offer.
That's a pretty common pattern. To a first approximation, you will never outcompete clones on cost or distribution. Chinese patents and trademarks are actually helpful if you need to enforce, as are good contracts written by a Chinese lawyer in Chinese.[1]

You can outcompete them on customer service, community, brand, and quality.

For most consumerish products, I would not be worried about a clone stealing your design files. It is incredibly cheap to clone the mechanical parts of a product from photos or a single copy bought retail. For most consumer electronics, the clones would be unlikely to use the expensive western parts and designs you would. Instead, you're likely to see really fascinating cost engineering around parts you didn't know existed.

[1] I have sued a supplier in China, who did some sketchy stuff. It was a fascinating process. Contrary to the conventional wisdom and to our expectations, the court actually helped us get back our tooling and inventory.

Well, a lot of AWS and GCP infrastructure use it, but they hide it from you.
Tesla has stopped doing the mobile service thing(at least in our area). Used to be able to get a mobile appointment at a cost, this time I couldn't even get them to come out to swap a battery(much less an LTE upgrade).

If they can't provide service I'll be going to other brands that's have a larger service network.
Its not one person, these are groups of people who likely have a single strength in a particular area. the guy who is good at hacking, is the guy sending phsining emails isnt the guy setting up the bank accounts.

My novice POV is that you would expect russians to have a higher ratio of hackers to script kiddies as opposed to a country like Ghana who scams just as many that is mostly just script kiddies trading techniques on underground markets.
Is your last sentence a joke? Because the major new tool for this called Aha: https://www.aha.io/
This is somewhat similar to how Swift represents Strings internally (https://github.com/apple/swift/blob/main/stdlib/public/core/...).

Swift needs to support a few other options (it tracks UTF-8 vs UTF-16 encodings, and needs to know if a String is bridged from an Objective-C object), and it doesn't cap lengths or offsets at 32b. Those details aside, this is a very familiar approach.
If you're using a pre-certified BT module, the costs can be dramatically lower than you might expect. Ditto doing your lab testing "over there" rather than in the US.

If it's not an intentional radiator, you can get multiple rounds of FCC+CE testing for USD650 in Shenzhen these days.
32 bits for Len & offset doesn't play nicely with mmapped files.
Money requires consensus. I think it's the FLP Impossibility result that ultimately prevents CRDT-type (eventually consistent) schemes from implementing consensus.
Researchers in eventual consistency pretty much just assume this.
e.g. in the original CRDT papers -- bottom of page 10 in : https://arxiv.org/pdf/1805.06358.pdf; top of page 11 in : https://hal.inria.fr/inria-00609399v1/document
The only real conflict of interest is that dealer service centers are often the profit centers of most dealerships, so a 50% maintenance cost reduction[0] will likely translate to declining revenues for the dealerships.
