Not as efficient but uBlock Origin in advanced mode lets you get fairly close, although not with quite as fine grained control from the main UI (however you do get very detailed control via the logger and directly writing rules). The one thing I've had an issue with is that replacing a frame with a link to popup the frame in a new window seems to not work the same, at least last I checked maybe a year ago (the easily available method didn't do quite the same thing as uMatrix and I gave up before figuring out if it was possible to get uBO to do the same thing via some means). This mostly means that I've had to run google javascript on sites with embedded YouTube that I didn't before, but otherwise there hasn't been much difference in practice once I got used to the uBO way of doing things. The other major issue for me is the lack of the "ruleset recipes" as far as I can tell that means you need to reload a bunch of times if you start blocked an only allow certain stuff (such as the YouTube videos) for a particular session. I have left more scripts always enabled because of that even when I don't need them much of the time.
If bots are over 15% of Twitter it might effect value by 40% due to network amplification effects.
It is indirectly though, since the vast majority of the compensation is in the form of stocks.
You need to look at the business as a whole. Software only business are profitable because the per unit cost approaches zero as your volume increases past the development amortization cost. Say profits in the order of 80%+

Embedded systems are part of tangible products. They have an order of magnitude greater non-recurring engineering costs, then cost of components, manufacture, packaging, inventory, distribution and after-sales service and support. Due to the huge up front costs, volumes are generally limited by capital funds. So the net profits are likely to be 15% - 20% range.

When you look at the differences, it becomes clear why tangible product companies are unable / unwilling to pay like software-only companies.

I think the confusion is while the post says nice weather, it's more about nice climate. There are other factors, good latitude is just the better starting point in my opinion.

But you are right, Houston is really not the same as it doesn't have a directly adjacent ocean and mountain backdrop and there's a big difference between sitting on the Pacific than sitting on the Gulf.

One thing to consider is that if he can show that something potentially material like the fake account percentage was incorrect, then that may offer him an out.

Musk can claim that he relied on these numbers when making the offer. "Material misrepresentation" is the term he'd use and it just might work. There's an implied good faith in every contract, so irrespective of how "strict" the terms are, Twitter may have difficulty enforcing the agreement in this scenario.

That is, Twitter would have had to literally disclose that these numbers were unreliable, and have Musk agree under those terms in order to not have a fight on their hands.
If it never bought anything of value, was it ever there?
The plates go with the vehicle in California most of the time. It just gets complicated when you sell to someone out of state because you have to turn the plates in yourself. If you a used car in CA, it's not unusual for the plates to be the same plates the car had since it was first registered in the state.

We bought our last family car from enterprise and one day this family walked by while my mom was waiting for me in the store parking lot. The kid recognized our car as a rental they had on a road trip once and got excited about it. Awkward. xD

Custom plates are weird. You can either give them to the new owner or transfer them to another vehicle or return them to the DMV.
> Is there some kind of politics more important for corporate decision making than claiming the $20bn or so you're entitled to by contract?

Sure. It's the principle-agent problem. Twitter as a whole might make more money under scenario A, but the people who make that choice on Twitter's behalf might make more money under scenario B.

Of course, that's short term thinking if you're a C-level executive. Because scenario A gets you more money at your next job. But if you're thinking about retiring, it could work.

> nobody knows an alternative way of testing a candidate in few hours

Why test? Seriously, why are interviews tests?

Everyone seems very worried about incompetent job candidates, but what about incompetent colleagues and managers? We act like interviews are one-way when in fact they're two-way, and the candidate needs to decide if they actually want to work for the potential employer. Does the candidate get to test the interviewers? Nobody wants to work with incompetent colleagues, and especially not an incompetent manager, which is the worst.

There are a lot of incompetent engineering managers, and indeed I would estimate that engineering managers are more likely to be incompetent than engineers, because engineers are frequently promoted to engineering managers despite having no background or training in management.

It's ok though, I'll let the manager do a take home test in their spare time.
It's ok for seed stage startups to flail a bit. Even if the tech cofounder left, that can be ok -- if he didn't have the stomach for it, he should go.

It's ok to have only 6 months of runway. Startups are always running out of money!

Did you get a BUNCH of stock options when you got promoted? If not, nothing else matters, leave right away.

If you did get an enormous additional grant, then you are being compensated fairly and you shouldn't base your decision to leave on "6 months of runway left". You've not given any info to assess the quality of this startup, or any useful info on other factors, like general morale, prospects based on the current product direction, strength of team, and so on. The fact you know the runway at all is a decent sign of strength.

It's absolutely fair to leave now! But don't leave for the wrong reasons.
>disparate impact seems to be around the sort of requirements you are allowed to put in a job description.

That is a common example, but it is much broader than what goes on a job ad. For example, I have heard occasional rumblings about how whiteboard interviews are a hiring practice that would not stand up to these laws (IANAL).

>My point was that I think algorithmic processes are more testable for these sorts of bias

Yes, this is true, but that doesn't really matter. If there is consistent discrimination happening at the margins, that will be evident holistically. If that is evident holistically and there is no justification for it, that is all we need. We don't need to run resumes through an algorithm to show that discrimination is happening at an individual level. We just need to show that a policy negatively impacts a protected group and that the policy is not related to job performance.

>do you feel that existing disparate impact regulations are good at catching/preventing this kind of thing?

I think the bigger problem than the regulations is that there is an inherent bias against these type of cases actually being pursued. First, it is difficult to identify this as an individual so people don't know when it is happening. Additionally, people fear the retribution that would come from pursuing this legally. People don't want to be viewed as a pariah by future employers so they often will simply move on even if their accusations are valid.
I'm not any kind of stock valuation expert, but I figure a big part of Tesla's share price (and GME's for that matter) is just the natural market consequence of too many short positions and someone calling their bluff. The current valuation might not be rational, but that's beside the point. A lot of money was invested betting that Tesla would fail (or at least, the stock value would fall), and the consequence of them losing the bet is that they have to buy stock at whatever the price happens to be, thus driving it higher. I see it as just the market correcting itself, not some inherent bug in the system. (There's an argument that maybe allowing people to short stock in the first place is a regulatory bug.)
>> land doesn’t have freedom of choice the way people do

I mean that's your best argument, but it's not as clear cut as that to me. What I do with my property and what I do with my labor are both matters of freedom of choice. But yeah, I get you. I don't want to be told what to do with my labor. But I don't want to be told what to do with my land either.

>> We also currently tax land based on its market value which corresponds to the most productive use of the land

No, don't agree. If tore down the house I live in and built a 12 story apartment building on the same piece of land, it would be worth more and be taxed more. We currently tax property on its market value, not land on its market value. At least where I live.
The Fall of Terra with On-Chain Data
No. I am saying it's part of the pattern that points to how American citizen's have given in to anxiety and fear (created by politicians), that they are willing to compromise on their hard won democratic rights. In this case, the pervasive fear for the safety of American kids allows American politicians to manipulate American parents to compromise on their rights for the "safety of our children". (Demand for Apple to scan all iMessages for Child Sexual Abuse Material is an extreme and good example of this).

Show HN: First Letlang Module Compiled
Hey HN, author here.

My side project ( https://letlang.dev - a programming language targeting Rust) is making progress.

I'm proud to show you the first compiled Letlang module :)

It's not much, it's not even useful yet, but it proves that the runtime works as intended, and that the compiler is able to generate valid Rust code.

Now that the hardest part is done, all that remains is implementing all the features of the language, finish redacting the specification, and make some programs!

Still a huge amount of work yes, but baby steps! I'll probably open-source the code next week or so.
They locked all new threads. You can still post in an existing thread but you can't create a new one.
This is an interesting topic :)

After Apex was introduced in 2006, Salesforce suffered criticism (misplaced, IMHO) over the fact that it was proprietary. In 2009 it did a partnership with VMware to create a Java-as-a-service proto-PaaS so business logic could be written in Java instead of Apex. This service (VMforce) never worked for a variety of reasons, leaving Salesforce to look for an alternative -- so in early 2011 they bought Heroku. Thats why the first thing Heroku did post acquisition was build Java support.

Turns out this wasn't a great product idea to start (the limitations of externalizing business logic, especially at that time, weren't worth the effort), so the strategic reason for the acquisition was no longer relevant. Years later there were successful integrations that had different value propositions, although those suffered from the constraints described above.
They even banned some chemistry books.

If I remember correctly, this one had an experiment to distill alcohol and another about creating chloroform.

BTW does c2tsv handle multibyte UTF8, \r\n vs \n, regular escapes e.g. embedded dbl-quote/nl/lf/comma, as well as CSV garbage that doesn't exist in theory but is abundant in real world (e.g. dbl-quote inside a cell that did not start w dbl-quote, malformed UTF8, etc)? Handling those in the same way Excel does added considerable overhead to zsv (and is the reason it could only perform a subset of the processing in SIMD and had to use regular branch code for other)
I feel like this statement undercuts the value of a good leader. I've worked under both good and bad management, and it's super frustrating and draining when leadership can't focus and prioritize for the best interests of the product. In addition, leadership skills appear to be much more rare than say, good coding skills. I've worked with tons of good programmers, but not very many good leaders.
I look for folks with this background to join my team at my Day Job. I need folks with a solid hands-on technical background who want to stop building things and start telling me which people SHOULD build and which people ARE building those things so I can give those people money.

It’s tricky because I need hands on experience but the desire to switch to a more strategic, executive-style role. Plus folks need to have the core communication and people skills to manage a complex set of stakeholders.

Hard to find good people, but the people I find tend to be very very good.

A rider on a regular bike has poor aerodynamics in every direction as their cross section is not that much different with an open frame and spoke wheels.

It is indeed a no-brainer. The Tesla wins hands down.

I've owned many very good German cars for the last 30 years and loved them, but my Model Y makes them all seem quaint and obsolete.

--Electric cars don't need dealers. I want to be able to buy a car online without spending an hour kicking gravel and haggling with some commissioned salesperson over the price.

--Electric cars don't need as much service as ICE cars, and it doesn't need to be done at a dealer's high-profit service bay. When my Tesla needed its rear seat coat hook replaced, a technician drove to my house and replaced it. For free.

--Electric cars need very good batteries. Tesla has a 10-year, several-billion dollar lead over every other car manufacturer on battery technology. Everybody else is playing catch-up. Ditto for motors and single-piece castings.

--Electric cars need very good UI software. The Germans make the second-worst automotive UI software of anybody (only the Japanese do an even worse job). Tesla's UI has elements I don't like, but every other car's software experience is so bad it's not even worthy of criticism.

Mercedes, Porsche, and Audi are all offering electric cars with specs inferior to Tesla at much higher prices. This will be unsustainable after they stop coasting on their reputations and the supply of German car snobs who refuse to try a Tesla dries up.

I'm sure the Germans will eventually catch up; Mercedes invented the ICE car after all. But Tesla invented the modern electric car and it's a whole different beast.

The rule to never include anything from a header is just the ultimate cleanup.

I reiterate that I think it is unfortunate that the author of this article collected no numbers. It would be interesting to compare them to the Linux kernel’s numbers:

| v5.16-rc7 | -fast-headers-v1
|--------------------------------|---------------------------------------
'touch include/linux/sched.h' | 230.30 secs | 15.6 builds/hour | 108.35 secs | 33.2 builds/hour | +112%
'touch include/linux/mm.h' | 216.57 secs | 16.6 builds/hour | 79.42 secs | 45.3 builds/hour | +173%
'touch include/linux/fs.h' | 223.58 secs | 16.1 builds/hour | 85.52 secs | 42.1 builds/hour | +161%
'touch include/linux/device.h' | 224.35 secs | 16.0 builds/hour | 97.09 secs | 37.1 builds/hour | +132%
'touch include/net/sock.h' | 105.85 secs | 34.0 builds/hour | 40.88 secs | 88.1 builds/hour | +159%

Doubling and nearly tripling the compile speed is a huge win!

But the really eye–opening numbers are further down. Here are the first few rows from the table:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Combined, preprocessed C code size of header, without line markers,
| with comments stripped:
------------------------------.-----------------------------.-----------------------------
| v5.16-rc7 | -fast-headers-v1
|-----------------------------|-----------------------------
#include <linux/sched.h> | LOC: 13,292 | headers: 324 | LOC: 769 | headers: 64
#include <linux/wait.h> | LOC: 9,369 | headers: 235 | LOC: 483 | headers: 46
#include <linux/rcupdate.h> | LOC: 8,975 | headers: 224 | LOC: 1,385 | headers: 86
#include <linux/hrtimer.h> | LOC: 10,861 | headers: 265 | LOC: 229 | headers: 37
#include <linux/fs.h> | LOC: 22,497 | headers: 427 | LOC: 1,993 | headers: 120

Note in particular that sched.h includes, directly or indirectly, 324 _unique_ header files. Header guards are not going to help you here, because there are still 13k lines of code to parse and compile. The speedup comes from reducing this to 64 unique headers and just 769 lines of code to compile.

You cannot rely solely on #pragma once or header guards. You should definitely use them for correctness, but if that’s all you do you will leave a lot of compile–time performance on the table.
