SLS is a new rocket and you are comparing its development cost to the launch cost of a SpaceX rocket without its R&D cost.

Ariane V, delta, and soyuz launches are all cheaper per kilogram than SpaceX.
Because they devalue your ad business. Your views don't lead to enough click-throughs which don't lead to conversions for the buyer.

Also, you can't just consider temperature without humidity. The way you feel about temperature depends hugely on the humidity levels in the air. This article is a very simple analysis, it's a lot more complex than that if you want to make reasonable choices.
This only looks at one dimension: temperature. There are other dimensions to look at:

- Humidity, or rather: Dew Point. 22ºC / 72F feels awesome or nasty depending on whether dewpoint is 10ºC or 21ºC. Anything above 16ºC is generally unpleasant.

- Sunshine. Many overcast days can do a number on our well being, but some people actually prefer the softer light.

- Rainfall. Some prefer more on the dry side, others more on the lush side. Again, it's a personal preference.

- Variety throughout the year. Some of us actually enjoy the diversity of seasons while others prefer constance.

> expert witnesses are just a concession the law has to make to get anywhere.

I'm not sure why you don't think that applies here? Only a slim fraction of the population is knowledgeable enough to grok the methodology of EHT.

I mean, if an appeal to authority were as you defined it, then engineers would be making an appeal to authority when they invoke Newton's laws (after all, they haven't derived them), biologists would be making an appeal to authority when they write python code (after all, they didn't write the python compiler), and so forth. Trusting that specialists can do their jobs isn't a logical fallacy – it's a type of inductive reasoning and, critically, a type of reasoning essential for the modern world to function.
There are different attitudes,congestion and interactions for cyclists in different cities. NYC drivers seems particularly antagonistic towards cyclists, I have seen many examples of what seemed like intentional strikes to me by taxis and commercial drivers who are likely to be more time crunched and build up a frustration towards cyclists. But cyclists also seem to be of a more daring rugged stock there too.

Granted, my only personal comparison would be to Buffalo, Albany, Poughkeepsie and San Diego, all which have much less congested city centers.

The only east coast city that matched the "needles and feces" attitudes I have seen was Philadelphia. As soon as you start driving into the city it is impossible to notice how much trash and car debris is in the road. The moment I parked, we saw needles on the ground and as a result I was more likely to notice I imagine. But, it was truly a filthy city.

Buffalo city centers do have a high rate of panhandling and street scams, you just learn coping skills.

The way you structure the fees is very reasonable. I am just surprised that the fees are that high. Instead of waving the fees you could try to bring them down. As long as there is no manual involvement, why should bookkeeping cost more than a cent?

He wasn't unhinged.

He was definitely self aggrandizing and attention seeking.

Jobs was an asshole, but he was an adult asshole. A mature asshole. He wasn't a juvenile asshole. Both Musk and Trump give the impression of having the emotional maturity of a pre-teen.

I suspect it's because much of the field is actually quite junior, relative to the expectations of a senior or principal contributor. It's not until recently that I started to grasp how much breadth you have to have to be functional in embedded systems.

To be functional and independent at it, you need:

- a very solid grasp of C/C++,

- a good understanding of the concept of a state machine,

- a decent grasp of digital electronics and communications protocols,
and

- some comfort in debugging (or at least diagnosing) electronics issues.

These skills take years to accumulate.

At the same time, I keep hearing the claim online and IRL (particularly among SWEs who try to get into embedded) that "it's just software - you don't need a good understanding of electronics" to be a competent embedded systems engineer. These are also the same people who get hung up on pretty fundamental problems with simple solutions, like:

- I2C buses missing pullups

- Power supplies not delivering enough current (Hi, everyone who's ever tried to drive a huge NeoPixel panel from a RasPi alone)

- IO logic levels not meeting input specs (e.g. driving a 3.3V input with a 1.8V signal)

Maybe I'm needlessly cranky but I've seen a non-trivial number of people go from "It's just software" to "OMG what do I do help" in the face of very basic hangups like these. It highlights to me that folks who have the breadth to do all of these things comfortably are extremely valuable, and hiring companies know this.
I read a few blog posts about FIRE and they seemed to promote spending less now so you can work less in the future. That's fine, but there rarely seems to be mention of risks with moving to a fixed income.

If you look into What Bill Gates' attention is focused on (massive landholder, wants the world fed synthetic beef, hopes the next pandemic will be centrally managed and controlled, ownership stakes in media, connected to Epstein), regardless of intent these things have 'scarier' implications than Musk's electric vehicles, rockets and Twitter ownership.
It's simple.

You say "this company turns over 20 billion a year revenue. If I want to I can flush the whole damn lot down the toilet."

Apple begins arming Store managers with anti-union talking points
unhinged is absolutely the right word to describe him. Not just in terms of acting up, but also in terms of testing the boundaries of lawful behavior. A kind of behavior that can only be explained by the assumption that he thinks he is above the law (probably because he has a large number of fanboys and money). This is also similar to the behavior of the US politician that you are alluding to.
A laptop satisfies most needs. If you can't make a modern VST sound good, the problem isn't the tools.
Ford pioneered modern car manufacturing, and Boeing got stuff farthet out in space. Shooting a Tesla on a SpaceX rocket was just a publicity stunt. A genius one it seems.
Right, it's an equivocation that often comes up, when people try to tell you that basically almost everything is political, ergo you are already allowing politics, ergo you must allow all politics, ergo I must be allowed to spew the generic mindless stuff on your platform too.

Orwell introduced the term duckspeak in 1984, and it best describes the way how people understand "politics". “Ultimately it was hoped to make articulate speech issue from the larynx without involving the higher brain centres at all.”

People usually don't have a problem discussing societal issues, most discussion topics somehow relate to how we live and work together and is political in that way, but more people have issues with the sort of partisan politics where the point is to score points against the "other team" over all else, painting the other side with vile adjectives, generalizing them, considering your own side as obviously, axiomatically good etc. You know it when you see it.
Funny how many smear articles against him are going on. Because he wants to stop online censorship of conservatives.

There are good reasons to avoid C dependencies in go though. Because it's essentially a big black box to the runtime and so you loose some benefit when you go there (no pun intended).
>PayPal is profitable

Elon was gone way before he could have had any influence on modern Paypal's profitability.

>SpaceX is the cheapest way to get cargo into space

Well, we don't know the financials, so it could be cheaper for the customer, while burning investor capital. But this one seems like money-well-spent, at least.

>Tesla is 3x profit per car versus Ford/GM

Are you talking about gross profit margins?
Depends on the tolerance of what you're trying to hide. If the goal is just to obliterate the way something was previously anti-aliased, or make it trigger tons of false-positives, then a small blur and not relying on the inbuilt rasterization would probably do the trick.

Prior to this it had never occurred to me. But yeah, more randomness. Noise filter and blur, then a bit more noise, then photograph it, print the photo, scan it on another device, put it in the washing machine, leave it on the porch for a week and repeat.

That doesn't square with the fact that people who can afford it choose wildly-different places based on weather. Loads of people move from places like Edinburgh precisely due to weather, and move somewhere which is hotter, drier and sunnier, while I and some other people do the opposite.
Isn't this the type of problem a "quantum" computer with enough qbits could solve extremely quickly?
I watched those interviews on his Everyday Astronaut YouTube channel.

Musk looked bored with Tim, was often evasive, gave the appearance of wanting to get away from a fanboy.

The few times he would "open up" it was more like a recitation from someone to a disinterested audience — or as though Musk's mind was somewhere else, not really engaged or focused on the interviewer.

EDIT: Skimming the two-part interview again, Musk seems to switch between seemingly being engaged to not. Maybe it is because the interview went on really long and appears to be uncut.
> PAYPAL

Musk was CEO of Paypal for 6 months back in 2001. He was fired because he was running the company into the ground. Peter Thiel managed to save the company and sell it to Ebay

30 Billions of subsidies and credits in 20 years to arrive to the same financial achievement as Ferrari in the 90s. Only Teslas don't look like Ferraris unfortunately. They are also still more scarce than Ferraris, if not on the roads, for sure in absolute numbers. Pretty poor performance when the Italian brand makes 9,000-12,000 cars per year dependant upon macroeconomic enviornoment.

Also they are cooking the books. Everybody who looks at musk and how it operates understands this. He believes in manifestation and faking it till you make it.

I also thought the sub-ms numbers can't be right — SQLite is fast but not that fast on millions of rows, but didn't look into it until now.

Turns out the benchmarking code is wrong: it didn't read the rows returned from db.Query, so the mattn version simply didn't wait for the results to arrive. Once you apply this patch:

modernc SELECT performance becomes pretty comparable, actually a little bit faster than mattn on my Intel Mac with high row count.

Not only that, modernc INSERT is noticeably faster on my Intel Mac...
I had not heard the "Staff" designation before Google popularized it. I believe in early 2000s, the popular job prefixes were "Senior" and "Principal". The "Staff" prefix always confused me and gave me a feeling that if layoff ever came "Staff" will be protected while everyone else was expendable. I don't think Google adopted this prefix in the sense it was popular in militery.
When Musk started selling his TSLA shares to buy Twitter, TSLA fell by like $200 or like 20%.

It was becoming obvious that to buy Twitter, TSLA value would have to decline severely. IIRC, Musk only got around to selling $8 Billion pretax before quitting.

Musk thought he could afford Twitter. He sells some TSLA and the market collapses, and he suddenly decides against it.

Everything else is smoke and mirrors. Musk doesn't have the cash for the deal anymore (maybe he never had the cash for the deal). I guess Musk is looking at the $1 Billion ejection clause now and trying to weasel around it.

But at this rate, it looks like Musk owes Twitter $1 billion cash for this broke deal.
Yeah lol, 24? With the size of German economy it should be 240 or 2400, definitely not 24. (if it was irony then I'm sorry I didn't recognize it)
Unhinged? It is possible, that Musk didn't expect the twitter deal to become as politicised, as it did. Maybe he just got afraid of getting into the center of politics in the US. For example the state is a major customer, and they could just stop buying launch services from SpaceX for example, as the president might not agree with the politics of Mr Musk.

I mean look at Bezos, he got into a fight with Trump, and the pentagon preferred Azure to AWS, all of a sudden. Yeah, and a year later that deal got cancelled too, by the next administration [1]. I mean Musk has a lot of business with Uncle Sam, he really can't play his own game, in terms of politics.

I mean, i mean, they really have a lot of 'leverage' with Musk, to begin with. I would guess that Musk would be looking for a way out of the twitter deal, in order to protect his business. Also the economy is going into a recession, therefore his deals with the various governments are going to be much more important. Look, there is even talk of Musk building an e-tank with a German firm, Rheinmetall [2]

Identifying the graphics card/OS doesn't sound impossible.

They figured out it was Wordpad (presumably based on line breaking or similar) which narrows it down to Windows, and the graphics drivers probably subtly affect the font rendering in the same way that can be used for canvas fingerprinting.

That said, Windows 8 or 10 using Wordpad and Intel integrated graphics doesn't exactly narrow it down.
Proceed with caution.

Not to be a worry wart, but a long time ago we got a batch of monitors with a defective board. A capacitor overheated, melted some sort of glue on an adjacent component, which in turn dripped on a power supply component, shorted out and started a fire.

A couple of days later, it happened again… and we ended up getting all hands on deck to find those monitors.
I wish flutter3 would be simple and lean C which does not require a grotestquely and absurdely massive and complex c++ compiler.
What a crock.
I seriously doubt the compiler deduplicating header files that specify "pragma once" is what is slow about parsing all those header files. I really think the main issue is that all the different translation units have to reparse the web of headers, which this doesn't solve since you still need to manually figure out the correct order and include them all in each source file. Seems like a lot of headache for no gain.

Holding things by pointer on the other hand actually does let you prevent the includes since you can just forward declare in the header, but it's an indirection :-/
How has he lost his sauce? He's actually delivering on his two major companies. He's shipping electric cars at an insane growth rate. He's doing what car companies had 100 years to do and still can't get right in the US. All the other electric car companies are basically vaporware VC money pits. He's also delivering on SpaceX. I get it, you don't like his politics or share his sense of humor but don't pretend like he's some unhinged twitter personality.

At one place I worked full-time, the time-tracking software explicitly had a checkbox, "billable", which meant this time can be directly billed to clients, and you were expected to be able to check that for some specific percentage of your working day.

The percentage I'm expected to bill to clients is 100%, 8hrs a day. We are even expected to make up time spent on non-billable things like company or department meetings. Definitely wears on you for sure.

I remember a few weeks ago when the deal was first announced. A bunch of folks reported that conservative accounts were gaining followers while liberal accounts were loosing followers. The analysis back then is this could not have simply been organic because of when the followers picked up and dropped off, basically looked like a script doing the work.

This led to the theory that Twitter might have way more fake accounts then it's leading us on to believe. There was some speculation that the "Less than 5% figure" would come to bite them in due diligence so they were panicking and dumping bot accounts. Now this...

I'm not saying these two events are related, but there does seem to be something fishy going on. My gut says it will come out in the next few days that Twitter has something like %10-15 of their accounts being bots rather than the initial "Less than 5%" figure.
