In the first movie he commits extrajudicial killings (maybe these are murders, maybe not) and then when leaving the scene almost kills a 'friendly' pilot, while laughing about it all with his buddy.

No, they need to show user growth. This is the problem with the public markets. Companies must grow, QoQ or they are a failure. Its at the root of so many of our issues. Some businesses should not grow, or need not grow. Stability is good for the market, but not good for today's Wall St pump and dump where the goal is to fleece others, not to build a viable, reliable business.
> Uniquely among public-company CEOs, Elon Musk has in the past pretended he was going to take a public company private with pretend financing! I am not saying that he’s joking now; I am just saying he’s the only person who has ever made this particular joke in the past.

> Perhaps he has decided that the joke would be even funnier if he signed a merger agreement, lined up billions of dollars of financing from banks and equity partners, committed to a $1 billion breakup fee and a specific-performance right in the merger agreement, got through antitrust review and a shareholder vote, showed up at the closing and said “nope, just kidding!” I mean, that would be very funny.

I would like to start off by saying this is a very cool idea, and I can see the hard work and ingenuity that went into this effort. I think it is especially impressive if this is a solo endeavor. However, as someone who has quite a bit of experience with React, a tool like this I could see getting in my way. I don't see this being particularly helpful, maybe for prototyping for designers. It looks like a solution looking for a problem to me, honestly. Anyway, at least it is cool, and shows off your skill! Thanks for sharing.

Turkey chose a really bad position in this. They have tremendous power over the black sea and Russia's naval base in Sevastopol is largely speaking meant to keep Turkey at bay.

Add on top of that Russia - Turkey relations were severely damaged and they legitimately saw Russia was actively destroying their economy at the expense of their own. Then Turkey shot down a Russian fighter at the Syrian border. NATO saved Turkey's bacon that day. If Turkey wasn't in NATO they probably wouldn't exist today.

Turkey then spent considerable diplomatic effort trying to rebuild relations with Russia. Then ukraine happened and Turkey smartly went neutral. No naval and air assets may go through Turkey anymore. Russia can no longer operate in Syria, nor leave. Guess those russian soldiers get to starve?

I don't take anyone that uses the Asperger moniker seriously anymore; the guy was - in all likelihood - an eugenicist who picked out the "good" kind of autistic children and sent the "bad" ones off to get "euthanized"; see e.g. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5907291/.

Plus, it's often used as an excuse or a mark of honor; an excuse for unacceptable behaviour, and a mark of honor for being super smart and not like those Other Autists who struggle in their day to day.

The word has been besmirched by its namesake and the behaviour of those using it to distinguish themselves from "other" people with autism.

Sometimes the core sector makes a boatload of money, and the people supporting that work in turn get promotions. Companies tend to try to minimize churn in "staff" roles as there are fewer people ready to step in and replace the person who left. Similarly, recruiting for staff positions is often harder than line positions as folks often want to work on the core product mission of a company.

As an analogy, consider the lone sysadmin maintaining the lone linux server hosting a multi-billion dollar companies ERP, Billing Software, and website. The company probably cares enough to ensure this person has a backup, and is paid well enough not to leave. If the everything works the company probably doesn't care enough to do a migration to a SaaS provider, replacing this admin is likely very expensive.
>He went from being wealthy growing up

This most definitely is false. Elon grew up middle class at best.
Hey! Author of Preview.js here :)

It's early days and you might find that Preview.js can be a little difficult to set up in a large, complex project (working on improving that now) but please send through any feedback on the GitHub repo or Discord server, much appreciated!
Interesting - thanks for the tip!
This is a great point - there's been a lot of times that I feel like I was able to save the dev team work by being in a meeting and advocating for a solution that would also work well with our existing architecture, rather than something that may sound better but be much more complicated to implement.
Yet another attack on peer to peer electronic cash, masquerading as a benefit handed over by the amazing thoughtful overlords to their ignorant peasants. Cryptocurrency is CURRENCY, meant to be spent and replaced and worked for, not “Hodl bro” like idiots everywhere tout.
Check out the "Death By Meeting" by Patrick Lencioni for his take in a non-tech scenario.
Meetings can be very useful, especially when, as you say, they are well prepared, but only when they are not too frequent.

In my experience at many companies, from small startups to large multinational companies, weekly meetings are fine, but daily meetings always waste much more time than they can save.
I would simply say that I was freelancing. List all of your projects on your resume.

It really shouldn't be a problem. Just say you want to work in a team environment to grow as an engineer.

Also perhaps you want to grow your freelancing business instead. That should give you more control on your schedule to take care of your family. Just my 2 cents.
Also which white people? Do the Greeks or Romans count? Because if they do...

The movie industry in the united states is a culture exporter. Probably uncountable examples from just that alone. Surely some of that is both OP's definition of 'White' and appropriated outside its original countries.
I'd be more interested as an alternative to chain or belt drives but I'm not sure how you incorporate gearing without power electronics. Chains can be up to 98% efficient and I'd prefer not to throw away 10% just to eliminate gears.

They have some value relative to the system they are found in. Consider some fungible tokens which still have value. Say gold coins in online video games. These have some value, even when trading them is against ToS and will get you banned. Their value is relative to their usefulness in the game, and as long as the game in enjoyable, people will assign them so value relative to the enjoyment they can extract. Nothing about the game must be engaged in. There are people who live their entire lives without ever touching an MMO, much less a specific one like WoW or Runescape. Yet fungible tokens still have some value within those ecosystems.

Mobile games have taken this much further, with people buying fungible tokens for hundreds of dollars for the enjoyment they get, though this has become questionable as more of the game is engineered towards feeding an addiction which will cause players to pay more for their enjoyment.

The issue is the approximate cap on this value. Even by the inflated standards of whales paying for mobile games, we still see a cap of value around $1,000s for a month of value. Thus an NFT that provides value in a similar ecosystem should be able to max out at a similar evaluation, assuming it is tied to a system with as much investment in the fun as the big hit mobile games (which is often quite a lot of investment compared to what any single player, even whale, is spending).

We see NFTs going for much more than that in systems that have far less investment in being enjoyable, which I think can be contributed to people investing to get rich by selling at an even higher price.

In conclusion, I think that NFTs can have some inherent value, as much as fungible tokens in a game can, but that such value would be far below where the market currently is. Someone should only spend as much on NFTs when the enjoyment they get from spending on NFTs matches the enjoyment that similar amounts of money would bring from their other hobbies.
Without this deal TWTR could easily be $15-$20 right now.

You’re assuming extreme precision and competence. I’m guessing they have an incomplete database of GPU samples and a fuzzy result came back like “86% match to Intel 630,” and that’s what they published.
> Or, maybe you just don't give a damn about masking, too tired, just not interested.

I strongly feel this is the case with not only Musk, but a lot of high ranking "leaders"; I believe that you need an amount of ruthlessness, of indifference, an ability to turn off your morals to be in that position and get even richer. I mean just look at how he fucks his staff over and expects them to work ridiculous hours, bragging about how much he works (the difference being he gets paid for every second he is alive, while staff only gets paid for contract hours).
That is unequivocally false. Amplifiers (inside the DAC) are not ideal voltage sources at all loads and frequencies. Depending on the capacitive loads the amplifier might need to adjust compensation to make sure it remains stable in all situations. For resistance you will need to limit the output voltage to ensure you’re not going over the over current limit, or you can get hurt on dynamic range for high resistance loads. To make a good product then you’ll need to dynamically detect the resistance and adjust the voltage. All of these problems are trivial and would increase efficiency greatly if you know exactly how much load there is connected. With all the crazy 3.5mm jacks there are it is inefficient to make a product that fits all. And don’t even get me started on splitters and all the types there are.

Plenty of managers and executives go off on some stupid tangent and actively harm the organizations they mange. Being a harmless kind of incompetent is worth something. Maybe not what these kinds of guys get paid, but still something.

You see this a lot in very rigid bureaucratic organizations where you "need" to have a body in the org chart because of the rules. The people who just bumble about harmlessly wind up managing things that don't need management, the box gets checked and everyone goes home happy.

One of the most mindblowing parts of array languages is that there are no loops. Everything is just arrays and operations composed to produce more arrays. A few weeks ago, I was firmly in your camp, and thought APLs were indecipherable, but they're really not. It's just a totally different philosophy of programming.

Fair point about the deal on deal off. I would have to say though, he probably wants the deal to go through but not at the current market prices. Whats the quote - 'all's fair in love and war'?

True about security. Maybe that insecurity is the force that has driven him to actually achieve what he has accomplished. Sometimes your greatest asset can be your largest liability. Let's hope it stays on the asset side - for all of our sakes.
Not the parent, but in my experience, working in a regulated field the pay tends to be better since the stakes are higher and there is a larger push for quality rather than "ship it". I work in the Medical Device space doing embedded work and find the compensation to be very good.
The characteristic is being able to see the talents of others and exploit them. Jobs was and Musk is great at that, although Musk is an actual [software] engineer.

Those employees trapped on an island for months developing SpaceX rockets in miserable conditions did the work.
Yeah, there's two parts to it.

The first is "Can you build your code, for the correct target with the right cross compiler. Is your linker script set up correctly etc.". This isn't too bad once you've done it once, as long as your toolchain isn't proprietary and the target is sane.

But the second part is painful every time which is "what code do I need to run at startup so that my hardware is correctly configured". This is before you even write a driver. This is so specific to the particular chip, and even what you're particularly doing with it that it always takes time to get right.

I'll tell you that as a "pro" in this field, any time I can skip the second part I will do. STM32 chips for instance need a lot of clock config and selecting the right muxes because their chips are very flexible as to which peripherals can come out of which pins. They have a graphical tool called "STM Cube" where you can select your chip, configure the function for each pin and then it'll generate you a full project with startup code. We threw away the project and just used the startup code, regenerating it occasionally when we changed something. It saved so much time and suffering and is a big reason why I'll always choose an STM32 if I can.

I think the AI drawings are far better than the human ones.

The human ones are basically a collage of items accurately created to a strict specification, while objects in the AI-drawn ones are all integrated and more artistic and creative.

Although this is probably because the humans were people motivated by money who were paid to spend 15-30 minutes to make the artwork and just tried to check off the requirements (I can't possibly imagine a decent artwork being created in 15-30 minutes).

It's very interesting though that humans are more robotic than neural networks!

AAC and LDAC should be good. I even use them with PipeWire. Once you switch the mic on though, you end up with a different (low quality) audio profile. It should switch back to high quality profile after but I guess it does not?

Also does dual connectivity even work with LDAC? I feel like the best way is to use software to connect manually. You do have to specify the address and such, and execute the action, and you have to disable Bluetooth when you don't use it. Advantages are less tracking and interference.

As for XM5 it is expensive compared to XM3 and XM4. If you want to spend that extra money there are better targets (victims of current war for example).
> The Free Drive system works by converting the rider’s pedaling power into electrical energy via a small generator housed between the pedals. It then delivers this energy to the rear wheel (or wheels) via cables strung inside or outside the frame of the bike, rather than sending it mechanically through a chain or belt. Excess energy created by pedaling is fed back into the battery. The end result is a power system with fewer moving parts to complicate construction.

Well, here's how at least one tax avoidance scheme works. eBay and Amazon deny wrongdoing, though:

These are not easily trackable items - look on eBay for things like electric toothbrushes and baby formula. Where do you think the sellers got that stuff from? The shoplifting rings that run amok in major US cities are not selling that stuff on the streetcorner, after all. Most are not getting caught.

it is an opinion. The policy setting is not a fact based research, but ideologically based opinion. i would argue that any research is basically paid opinion pieces to try and convince someone on the fence.

the justification is in my comment above - it is taxed less than wage income to encourage people to spend their money investing, rather than spending it in consumption.

Curiously, the term "line manager" denotes the person that is in charge of promotion, development, review and vacation request approval + expenses approval of a report (rather than the development of new product lines, which is nowadays done by distributed team in matrix settings led by a "project lead" or "technical lead"), so one would classify them as support, perhaps.

To confuse things further, the "project manager" isn't the most senior manager of the project, but its _administrator_(the "project owner" is responsible for the project).
