I worked a few months during my PhD on Seiberb-Witten theory, a specific supersymmetric quantum field theory that undergoes symmetry breaking (Higgs like, due to the scalar field) and the resulting moduli space (space of parameters) can be understood with elliptic curves!

A monument of theoretical physics and mathematics!

The ICE parts of my last 2 cars (a Toyota and a Ford, respectively) were the most reliable parts. It was the electronic parts that kept failing... (Note that the Toyota lasted for 15 years before we got rid of it; the Ford is 11 years old and still going.)

I humbly submit that electronic parts might actually be less reliable than mechanical parts.

Maybe they could get him to stop lying about colonizing Mars, while they're at it.

(Starship is wholly inadequate to even start colonizing Mars. It might be just barely adequate to start an outpost with a half-dozen staff. It probably could support an active moon base.)

He has anyway not lied about the possibility of suborbital passenger or freight service lately, to my knowledge. BTW, Shotwell has, too.
It happens on the JLCPCB mobile site when opening the order tracker.

The tracker has videos accompanying each of of the stages the order goes though. When viewed on the mobile site it just starts playing them all.

Or at least it used to. I just started using the desktop site when I need to track my orders, they might have fixed it since.
Service is the reason I'm selling my Tesla. (Well, it was the first reason. What Elon says in public is the other. Embarrassing.)

It took a a year to get my Model X into an "acceptable" state, and it still has seven outstanding issues, six of which they simply refuse to fix.

If I wanted to get another service appointment now I would have to wait at least a month, and if they decide they're actually going to try to fix something (they often refuse), they keep it for at least a week and no, you don't get a loaner car in return.

It is an absolute disaster and I would recommend no-one ever buy a Tesla simply for this reason.

Can we stop with this disingenuous oversimplified "big number bad" argument? Dogecoin is the only major coin with an intentional long term inflation rate comparable to real world fiat. That has merit and novelty as far as cryptocurrencies go, especially if your goal is for it to be an actual currency.
You gotta start somewhere. We’ll have to get used to it. Lots of people are going to be new at their job, given turnovers lately.
What I mean is that your reality may not be same as OP.

Some stages in life are better in Europe other are in US.

I lived in Both.

Want to live hard and play hard? Having two weeks vacations as a good thing? Go to US.

Want to drive YOUR car, have YOUR house fill the tank and eat bad food? US.

Want to have more 2 children, have 30 days + sick leave and well .. work slow? Go to Europe.

Europe is like a cozy trap, you enter, feels nice public transportation, healthcare, all things already decided for you and cozy.

But then you are on your 60's the Medical specialist has a long queue, your treatments are limited.
Then the state is telling you which doctor you should go, which treatment is good for you, etc.

Then You don't feel so good to bring groceries on the public transport.

Then You don't feel so connected to the local culture.

I am not doing a US VS Germany thread. But OP should looks in how he "fits" on each place.

Some people discover that food can be delicious, cheap and healthy in Europe.

Other people discover the power of individualism in US.

Are you going to fit on local culture or be in the expat circle?

Are your kids be in the local school or the "new school" made for new people?

The more discerning question to ask is:

In that video, Alex Jones was quoting (in his own, 'passionate' way) a study that linked Atrazine (a widely used herbicide) to hormonal disturbances[0]. Mainstream media had access to the same study. Why was he the only one (besides niche, specialized publications) talking about it, or the numerous studies like it, including some in humans? Why were the media, governments, and celebrities, who often promote issues ranging from important to frivolous[1], silent on this? Where were the reproductive rights groups, on this issue that relates directly to people's rights not to have their fertility attacked by Big Agro lobby groups? Why was Alex Jones directly attacked, quite aggressively, and even denounced as "anti-LGBT" [2] for his video? One can argue it's because of his "style", but why did the media universally denounce it as a "dangerous conspiracy theory" instead of simply covering the issue more dispassionately?

Was the US National Academy of Sciences targeted with these same labels when it published[3] the original study? No need to; there was no way a scientific paper itself would go viral. But coverage of it was suppressed. Why?

Cue 2021: "Reproductive Problems in Both Men and Women Are Rising at an Alarming Rate", Scientific American[4]. Oh, really?

Note: do not mistake this commment for a plaudit of Alex Jones. It is a study in narrative control.

I've been using computers too long to be able to "see" them through the eyes of a new user. But being user-friendly doesn't mean making every single feature user friendly or discoverable through visual manipulation. It means making the most common tasks user friendly and discoverable. The vast majority of users can be productive on macos without ever using a single keyboard shortcut.

I think macos does this better than pretty much any other desktop OS. Granted the bar isn't very high.
Yes, it is.

The buyer is an "other part[y]" from the seller's (edit: or better yet, developer, who might just be contracted by the ultimate seller...) perspective, and performance is basically impossible to quantify, therefore price.

No that sounds like something Triplebyte might have set up. I got something similar but no plane tickets and Uber since I was already in the bay area. But I got the stack of interviews and several free meals / coffee courtesy of Triplebyte. Plus I still have the jacket and coffee mug. I know the current Triplebyte experience isn't anything like the early one, but this thread does start to sound like a false alarm.

An interesting feature of bitcoin is that it can't afaik become insolvent.

Objectively it's worthless, that's a given. But as long as chumps still want to speculate on it, it will get some price support. And so there will always be some incentive for miners to step in and keep it running. That's not the same as a stock, which can definitely go to zero when the underlying company becomes bankrupt.

The question I guess is how long until it just moves to a corner somewhere where suckers and scammers play a little game with each other, and what price will it settle on there?
Length doesn't mean much, it's size that matters, and that comes down to total transactions across all blocks, as transactions per block is not some fixed number.
> Really? In the experience of myself and my friends, dealer repair is at best hit-and-miss and at worst feels downright dishonest... most of the people I know who felt "in the know" always used third-party repair people that they trusted.

Agree. I use dealers since they are the ones who provide authorized recall repairs. Otherwise, I go to the local, independent for much faster & cheaper service.

Dealerships have a really bad reputation so they are sometimes called stealerships.

Not sure the dismissive tone is warranted. It's a craft that requires skill and training. Here in Germany it's a full vocational program that generally takes three years. You can only learn so much in a year and just like in any other profession after a year you're still going to be a beginner.

Even after so many years in strict keto, I still can't tease out where exactly which benefits come from between calorie reduction, ketosis, gut microbiome, etc. I feel like it's definitely a combination of more than one of the above but teasing it out would require too much experimentation and I'm reluctant to 'mess with success'.

The fish 3.5.0 release is not responsible for my tmux issue. False alarm.

Downgrading did somehow help me regain shell interaction, but I can't create a new session/pane, etc.

Hardly. Toyota and Honda's OEMs sell parts to anybody. I had my old Accord serviced at a hole in the wall style repair shop that always had original OEM parts: I never went to the dealer in 10byears of owning it. The shop I went to was run by old-school mechanics who owned their business and didn't waste my time with ridiculous upsells.
> In that case land acquisition costs make it too pricy since attractive downtown plots in a big city like Toronto are easily hundreds of millions per acre. Because they are zoned for 40+ story buildings.
And why would any land owner seek to zone for less than the maximal allowance?

> If you mean forced downgrading of the zoning or replacing existing suburbia with mid density developments, or subsidizing mid density as opposed to suburbia, that’s an entirely political conversation since the roadblock is zoning laws and the legislature.

You appeared to be claiming that land will be left vacant in the absence of political changes (with the frankly bizarre suggestion that land needs to be downzoned to encouraged more building). If that wasn't what you were claiming then what were you claiming?

You mean that's how the dealers make money? I'm pretty sure you pay the dealer to work on your car, not the manufacturer. Warranty work is paid to the dealer by the manufacturer. But I don't believe any car company is making much money from repairing cars. Many car companies don't even make parts for cars that are over 10 years old.

But I mean, if the dealership is the manufacturer, then you definitely have a bigger conflict of interest as far as repairs go.

As someone who works in the reputation management sector, fulling legal requirements is crucial in establishing a presence in key markets. However, oversharing of internal information that's not required by legal requirements can lead to unnecessary reputation damage, which would lead to a decrease in value for key stakeholders.

I think many engineers often overlook the business implication of disclosing security issues, as it would impact multiple business units as well as the board's stance on security, resource allocation, and potentially the stock price too.

Food is a core deliverable for a restaurant, whereas information on a potential breach is not for a SaaS service unless it is legally required.
There was an interesting discussion in 2019 after a group of people started cracking the passwords of the original Unix developers that had been obtained from an old /etc/passwd file in this repo (https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/BSD-3-S...).

Rob Pike spoke out against the effort, calling it “distasteful.” https://inbox.vuxu.org/tuhs/CAKzdPgw0Vz8UFbK7c_Jr+RHGMssSxN=...

Nonetheless, in the end every password was cracked. Some highlights:

Suffice to say: I wish. I have a decently powerful computer now, but that only happened a few years ago.

Indeed, SSDs are much faster than HDDs. That is part (but not all) of how computers have gotten faster. And yet we still wait just as long or longer for common applications to start up.

Advice I Gave Myself
Whether this is true or not, nobody has created a new auto manufacturer from scratch that works at scale in a very long time, and doubly so for an EV manufacturer. Literally nobody alive is experienced at this job.
I agree. For the most part they both have to maintain: tires, electronics, brakes, suspension systems, lead-acid batteries.

What electric cars do not have are timing belts, sparkplugs, fuel pumps --otherwise ICE propulsion are pretty reliable.
For years I thought of him as "Steve Jobs without the charisma" but increasingly the wild Monorail style promises about Mars and Hyperloop are also leading me to think Trump.

1) Does anybody have a digestible summary of what the the AICOA actually does and how this law might be abused? In this article they glossed over what effect they think it might have, but I don’t think they simply spelled out what the law actually is, or went over any possible unintended consequences.

2) Whether or not Mozilla’s opinion here is right is something I’m not quite sure about, but what I’m sure about is that Mozilla comes across badly. They lost their extremely big league in the open web by focusing more about woke politics than the tech, and now are whining that they can’t compete. Boo hoo. You have millions and millions of dollars in resources. Build a better browser rather than writing about political censorship and other nonsense you’ve been doing in the past years.

Servers are expensive, too. Humans waiting on servers to process something is even more expensive. No software runs in a vacuum; someone is waiting on it somewhere.

Adding more servers doesn't generally make things faster (latency). It only raises capacity (bandwidth). It does, however, generally cost quite a bit on development. Just about the only thing worse than designing a complex system is designing a complex distributed system.
If disruption does happen, it's better to be the one disrupting your own product than let others do it.

Yeah, at 600MB/s, 50 seconds of loading is 15GB... So ok, it can't fill my RAM at HDD speeds, but no, none of those use anything near 15GB of memory at startup. (If they did, my question would be WTF are they doing with gigabytes of memory.) And well, loading from disk ought to be the bottleneck of any reasonable cache.

About pre-computing things (that's very likely the answer), the question is what things? Excluding Visual Studio, those are very plain GUI programs, that have a huge amount of options, but not anything near enough. And on the Visual Studio case, all the indexes and intelligence helpers are certainly cached to disk, as it's impossible to recalculate them at load time (the information just isn't there).

One thing those 3 have in common is that they have complete language emulation environments that are exposed to the user but are not related to their main function. Yet, language emulation environments start-up much faster than that, so they can only explain a small part of that time.
The problem in this case would be they seem to be hiring almost exclusively from a rather obscure religious group. That means they're illegally discriminating against members other religions.
