> The point is, building tunnels underground for personal transport vehicles as a "solution" to traffic is a terrible idea, and something only a showman can sell.

The fundamental point of boring company is to reduce the cost of underground boring. Shoving cars through tunnels is a means to an end of reducing the cost of underground boring. It's about finding a path to make some kind, any kind, of money off of boring in order to make the product development costs self-feeding. This is why the idea of cars driving through the tunnels was done rather than the original idea of putting cars on platforms through the tunnels. Cheaper and faster to market.

Musk started boring company with the idea that transportation needs to be 3 dimensional, and not just adding another single layer of transport under the ground (trains/subways), but having a whole ton of layers going deeper and deeper into the ground. Now they've done their first iteration of tunnel, which is quite bad, rinse and repeat until it gets cheaper.

BTW, Musk has never come out against subways, his point was just that in the US, people drive into cities in cars, so if they're using cars, then the transport system in the city needs to handle cars in a three dimensional way.

I'm german and never heard of "Trader Joe's". Seems like it's really an US store, that was acquired by Aldi Nord.
I think you would really enjoy Doing Good Better by William MacAskill.
Agreed. I've been in this situation and managed to have "non-negotiable" confidentiality agreements and intellectual property contracts changed. It's never a pleasant experience but clarity and communication are essential to achieving the results you want.

I think the key elements are a) mention your intention to review IP contract language early, in writing, so it isn't a surprise later (because it WILL be a surprise otherwise) b) only talk to people who can actually make a change (no low-level people) c) be reasonable yourself (don't overreach) and be specific about your change requests (don't make them guess) d) don't get angry (can be difficult), it's a negotiation e) actually be willing to walk.
The point is that it probably wouldn't get any better than that in your life. Ever. No matter how much you spent on audio gear.

As for the differences over 30, it's annoying because I very much wished it wasn't true but high attenuation is so well documented I wonder why anybody would even try to argue with it, to all intents and purposes your ability to distinguish the finer points of that violin concerto in the 15KHz+ range (where a violin still puts out plenty of harmonics): you won't. Especially not if it has been recorded and then played back, doubly so if it was compressed along the way. Of course you're going to hear major differences, but the kind of subtlety that requires high end audio gear will be lost on you.

If it makes you feel better to spend $20K on a turntable or a set of speakers, by all means. But realize that it most likely won't move the needle (pun intended).
Claiming that that case proves or even implies that Musk manipulates crypto currencies markets to make money is quite the leap of imagination.
I recall a class in metalworking, which started with the teacher handing each student a chunk of metal and a file. The task was to file out an end wrench. The point was to teach the students the feel of metalworking before introducing them to machine tools.
>extrapolating that everyone else will feel the same way

Whoa, where are you getting that?
They're underestimating GPU costs substantially by looking at the MSRP, even for AMD cards, versus AWS pricing which is based in part on Amazon having to actually buy hardware.

For the 6800 XT, $900 is more realistic than $650 right now, so it'd be fair to add another 50% hardware price by about 40%.
Look at food borne parasite rates for fish in the world, and what percent occur in Japan.

In the US, all fish intended for raw consumption must be frozen in one of two ways that kill any parasites.

In Japan, this is not required.

Salmon is extremely high compared to tuna in parasites. In fact if you eat it regularly cooked, you've almost certainly seen little white worms at some point (though you may have dismissed it as just fat or something). I've found them even in farm raised salmon.

So in an environment where there's no freezing of fish to kill parasites, it's not particularly surprising that fish that more frequently ends up with parasites isn't popular.

In fact, just read over this Wikipedia page, which hits everything from salmon being high in parasites to the impact on raw consumption:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fish_disease_and_parasites

A choice quote: "A study in Seattle, Washington showed that 100% of wild salmon had roundworm larvae capable of infecting people."
I've had to push back on this provision in the past - the one where your employer now own all of your side projects. As a blogger and open source maintainer this is a deal breaker for me.

I always manage to get it altered, but it is such an annoying point of friction.

I'd love something like the YC safe financing documents but for employment contracts - a free resource with well vetted, well explained contract language so I can say "let's use this language from here" and everyone can get on with their lives.
I just want to collect the major options for Google Drive on Linux in a single comment, since a few options are scattered around:

Insync works well, and it's 50% off for a couple more days: https://www.insynchq.com/ Not affiliated, but $15 is not a lot to pay, as opposed to waiting for something that probably won't happen.

Rclone has support for Google Drive, and it's open source: https://rclone.org/

There's a command line client that uses a push/pull workflow: https://github.com/odeke-em/drive It was written by a member of the Google Drive team.

Gnome supports Google Drive, or at least used to, directly in Nautilus. I don't use Gnome, so I can't comment.

There may be other options I've missed, but the point is that there is already good support in multiple forms. I'd be interested to know what support Google could provide that's not already available.
"Learn to code" was a critique of how journalists covered job losses in blue-collar industries, compared to how they covered job losses in journalism. Harassment has become a seriously devalued concept if people replying to a tweet unfavorably qualifies. When public figures make tweets, they aren't entitled to unanimous agreement and applause.
One could argue that life is complex technology.
Right, the crucial part is legislation. The context is that the original comment said "EU could have requested browser vendors to implement a mechanism to accept or reject cookies".

What we're missing today is:

- An automated way of having browsers know what cookies are used for (What I'm suggesting is quite easy), and

- Legislation to prevent companies fron lying (What the general context is about)

That would be the general fix for the entire situation.
If you're buying in bulk you can get GPUs for close to or even at MSRP (AMD at least, and I assume it's similar for Nvidia).
The demographic for Trader Joe's is people who want to feel quirky and original about buying groceries, but not by paying Whole Foods prices. They've nailed that marketing position pretty well, yeah.
> If the SEC really had nothing, Elon with his army of lawyers, would have been happy to tell them to take a hike.

I think you should listen to the full quote. Musk said that bankers were withholding funding to Tesla when they were having a funding crunch so if Musk had pursued the defense in the lawsuit rather than settling then it would have bankrupted Tesla. Musk WANTED to not settle, but wasn't able to. That's what he's saying. BTW if you note, Musk in general has never settled basically any lawsuit he's ever been engaged in besides this one. He always fights until the end win or lose.
> Using a hashing algorithm to protect sensitive data (should I hash passwords with SHA-1?)

You're almost certainly fine! A collision oracle doesn't actually make it any easier to conduct a preimage attack.

We normally recommend against using hashing algorithms with known collision attacks for password hashing because (a) these hashes aren't well-suited to password hashing in the first place (b) because having a collision attack implies structural weakness and you don't really want to be caught relying on that hash if a preimage attack does turn up (c) as a fashion statement.

> using it as a convenient lookup optimization (should I use SHA-1 to identify git references?)

Now this is a bad idea, because having collisions in the wild means that someone can swap out one for the other without the hash catching it, so now you need to build in extra complexity to mitigate that.

(Of course, collisions always exist in theory, so you want to design around the possibility. The difference having collisions in the wild makes is that as long as they're only theoretical, you can get away with e.g. screaming loudly about running into an impossible situation and guarantee that you don't do something actively dangerous, or falling back to something horrendously slow but always correct; once collisions exist in the wild, that's a denial-of-service.)
The young people don't want the jobs that the immigrants are willing to take.

They want their cake and bread served to them on a silver platter, to which they can then pitch a hissy fit and knock the platter away as not being made out of gold.

We have a similar problem here in the US.
I do the same in the Ergodox QMK firmware, no app needed on the device. Just mentioning it since OP has the same keyboard!
¡Vamos Chile!

Yeah wow well there you go. You know Norwegians own most salmon farming in Chile, don't you?

And let me say also, this validates government export offices. In fact I visited the Japanese Government export office in Santiago, they gave me really valuable information about exporting to Japan where the market for wasabi was at the time. What do you know, you pay taxes and you get back something for it?
> vulnerable to length extension

I think this is only relevant if you're using a hash as a MAC, in which case you should be using HMAC-SHA256 instead which is not vulnerable to length extension attacks
The right has plenty of criticism for Sanders but they don’t criticize him for being an identitarian because he largely isn’t. There’s nothing wrong with gendered language, but that wasn’t how I was using “cheerleading” and if we want to lob accusations it seems pretty sexist to imply that men oughtn’t be cheerleaders.

What is super interesting is that Aldi only moved to barcode scanners very late (past 2000). Before that cashiers entered the product codes manually - they knew them for each product and were super fast at it. The conveyor band never stood still, and they were entering codes the same thing it moved. It was super impressive.
The surveillance state likes it that way.

CDs and DVDs are cheap and burning them is fast and easy. Make several copies, calculate the checksum, and store them in different places. Every few years see how badly they've degraded and after hitting some pre chosen threshold you can return all of them. If their data really is less than 1 GB they could even store 4-5 copies per DVD for additional redundancy. Even on a single disk I'd imagine the errors are unlikely to be in the same region on all 4 copies.
>Recycling was a scam invented to pretend plastic is acceptable.

It's only a scam because it became a thing so recently.

Recycling of glass is no more economically viable than plastic recycling and even it was a thing until we started making domestic labor and industry ludicrously expensive.
> All of those things existed before Musk.

I didn't say Elon Musk invented electric cars.

I'm saying he accomplished something in these fields.

If you want to pull him down among the rest of us, why don't you just point out that he's inhaling and exhaling in exactly the same way as everyone else?

The assumed time requirement simply establishes an infinite present value lower bound on the cost in money. This becomes clear once you admit the possibility of an incorrect current understanding of the mathematics.

Ergodox can map any key to whatever you want via modes, definitely recommend this as you'll end up with specific workflows mapped to their own modes. Its a little overwhelming at first but the learning curve is worth it imo.
Yes, one of my issues is the syntax as well.
If banks could create money out of nothing, then they could not be damaged by a bank run. They would just create enough money to satisfy the run.

The reality is that they can be damaged (or bankrupted) by a bank run, because their books do need to balance. That is why the U.S. created FDIC insurance (which is funded by the banks themselves).

China has their own internal immigrants that they worry about, and they need to kill a few million more Uighur Muslims before they're likely to need to worry about troublesome non-Han Chinese immigrating to the country and causing cultural problems.
I wonder what would happen if someone said “if you own everything you also accept all liability for it”.
Honestly the best answer is to this question is one that requires more effort than "burn once, sit on shelf".

The best answer is "host a NAS that you actively maintain and has an offsite mirror".

I personally host an all-flash NAS for the performance and MTTF benefits over HDD. Since it's always on and performs regular scrubs there is no concern of bit-rot. The data I put there will be there as long as I'm around to take care of the box and pay the B2 bill.
That's true, I'm looking at retail prices here.

Can you really get MSRP on a $20,000 order though? That's small enough that people could coordinate group buys instead of going through retailers if it were easily doable.
Oh sure, lol. I was thinking about the bars, and of some sort of weird contraption extruding small bars of soap on demand.

>Overengineering
Perhaps they're referring to salmon mislabeling, a common form of food fraud. E.g. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/food-matters/to-every-s...

> Overall, they found close to half of the samples were mislabeled (43 percent), and rates of mislabeling were especially higher in restaurants vs. grocery stores (67 percent, vs. 20 percent). The most common form of mislabeling was farmed Atlantic salmon being represented as” wild” salmon. These trends persisted when comparing all of their salmon data (466 samples) spanning over four years.

Without knowing how much salmon is consumed at restaurants via grocery stores, it's hard to validate that "most" wild salmon is actually farmed.
Even replacing an 0805 is a pretty significant challenge. I have no idea how people do BGAs with anything but a pick and place.

Plus, without x-rays, how do you know you got it right? There's a lot of ways something can have a weak joint that isn't immediately noticeable. And, unless you have CNC equipment the result is more art than science, the quality depends largely on your hands.

I wouldn't trust a device that had been repaired by anyone but an experienced pro, seeing as how these devices(along with phones) are the cornerstones of modern life.

That's called "believing the accuser", and that statement didn't actually lead to him gaining any money. So I go back to my previous statement.

Also there's recent news that Musk was forced to settle despite believing that he would have won the case because bankers were holding Tesla hostage.
> Yes, advising people to drink raw milk and avoid pasteurization is dangerous advice.

Pasteurization is useful for commerce because it allows milk to be transported greater distances and stored for longer. But raw milk is not inherently dangerous if consumed fresh.

There is some evidence that pasteurization lowers/changes the nutrient content of the milk, which is unsurprising given how many constituents are present in milk and the temperatures at which proteins denature [0].

No worries, I thought to myself, "You know, the soap pump thingy, like I use at home. Am I not thinking this through?"
I find it really annoying that people--including notably and particularly Elon--are trying to make this sound like some kind of attack on efforts to stop climate change as opposed to merely a statement about whether Tesla, as a single player in a growing ecosystem of electronic vehicles, is or isn't over-valued.

Honestly, I don’t mind a VPN moat on top of even that, but it’s definitely a good tip. Any unencrypted data over a VPN is a liability anyways.

That said: for the moment, I still have some SMB1 clients inside my network. Yes, this is terrible, and frankly it is surprising Samba still supports it (I won’t be too surprised or too angry if it gets removed now that it’s separated out.) I should probably segregate SMB1 clients onto a different fileserver on a different VLAN or something. Until then, it would be annoying to force SMB3 on all clients.

(As for why Anybody would use SMB1, the answer is retro computing. I also suspect that Open PS2 Loader is an SMB1 client, though I have not checked.)
This is ultimately the best option - checksummed in-flight data has a higher likelihood of being verified at both read-source and write-drain endpoints.

Money not spent on storage (that you cannot charge anyway) does not evaporate. You can instead spend it on something else more useful, like more panels. Money is always that way.

And, storage adjacent to the point of use is less at risk of being wholly unavailable, e.g. if there is a problem with the cable. So, you need good reasons to put it somewhere else. That is not to say there cannot be such reasons, but what they are is of interest.

> but mechanically it probably wouldn't spin up

might not spin up. I recently booted a Sun 3/80 from 1990 and while the battery backed RAM that told it how to boot was long dead, the HD was not a problem at all. Once I replaced and re-coded the RAM, the machine booted right up. And this isn't just a one off story. I've got a bunch of machines from that era, and the HDs are not usually an issue (although occasionally they are).

>only drops body temperatures by a few degrees F

This is the most amazing thing ever because it may point to a metabolic cause instead of a physical one, like a phase change or w/e (I mean, metabolism is physics in the end but you get the point).

And if it turns out to be metabolic, drugs could be made to induce it, in principle.
Optical media doesn't hold enough, though. I've got a terabyte of downloaded media. Even with Blu-rays that hold 50 GB, I'm not going to bother burning and storing and keeping 40 of them.

I go with simple external hard drives. I get a new one every couple years and copy everything to it as my main backup. The likelihood of my in-machine drive and fairly young backup drive failing at the same time is pretty low. Even if that happens, the previous backup drive will have a good portion of it. And my important docs folder also goes to Carbonite online backup.
