I believe Cassandra does not have a Master\follower architecture; it's following a ring based structure.
You’re right, and I didn’t know that. Fascinating law. I blame being ESL.

However, I wonder if it actually is fraud. Intent matters. The intention isn’t to defraud the employer, but rather to short-circuit the whole process of job skipping for a correct wage. So it’s actually not an unfair gain, and that is precisely why I think it’s not even immoral in this case.
Fuck Tesla and Elon Musk then. This puts me off ever buying a product.
And by visiting just about any large IT-related convention you can easily collect a hundred or more pre-paid business reply mail cards.

At least that's what a friend told me. ;)
FSD does transfer to next owner with any private sale.

If you sell it to Tesla, they often remove FSD and resell without it; but that's no different than anyone else modifying a vehicle they own and then selling it in its new state.
Edit: nevermind, you already wrote about this elsewhere. Leaving the below here for context.

I'm curious, is this more of a social block or is it specifically the work medium (e.g. a whiteboard) that gets you blocked? I personally would happily let you use a laptop with whatever tooling you're most comfortable with, for instance. IMO whiteboards are okay for communicating high level architecture/ideas but abysmal at writing complex solutions (and IMO whiteboards imply you ought to have memorized the thing because of how punishing it is to need to rearrange content).
CEO sold worthless crypto tokens and used proceeds for Hawaii condo, DOJ says
Maybe more philosophically aligned with the product, rather than the corporation behind it. Microsoft is slowly turning GitHub profiles into networking tools and the core SCM offering into a social media experience. GitLab is similar in some ways, but not quite as aggressive about it in my view.
OP basically described how shady fractional reserve banking is. But I'd say that thinking in terms of masses of people storing Bitcoin in banks is probably a fundamental misunderstanding of how Bitcoin can and should be stored.

There's no genuine need to ever send Bitcoin to a bank for safekeeping. It safely exists in the blockchain so long as you have your keys. And unlike other types of assets, you don't need a bank to transact with Bitcoin.

You absolutely need some kind of secure vault to safely transact in large quantities of gold.

You absolutely need some kind of secure vault to safely transact in large quantities of physical cash.

You absolutely need some kind of processor to handle checks.

You absolutely need some kind of processor to handle credit cards and wiring money around.

But with Bitcoin, everything exists in a blockchain. You just need to hang onto your keys to perform the main function that a bank performs. (And with smart contracts and the like, you should be able to use assets like Bitcoin as collateral for many kinds of loans as well)

Banks are largely no longer needed in the future if crypto ever achieves real widespread usage and develops as it should. No wonder there's so much derision directed against it by authoritarians who crave control over others' lives.
>> Sounds like all around bad decisions.

Disagree.

>> The previous owner shouldn't have sold it as a 90 or at least disclosed that, "It's a 60 but Tesla swapped out the batter with a 90 and left it configured as a 90".

Yes, they should have said that and did. You agree with this decision when you say 'Why not get some good will out of it? "Hey sorry about your battery. We only had a 90 so we threw that in there. Enjoy.'

Tesla, being notified, should have just enabled the 90 and made the customer happy.

Tbey did. Not a bad decision.

The only "bad" decision was to revert it from a 60 to a 90 and stick to that. Hardly "all around bad decisions" but a very bad one at the end.
I've had several people I've known affected by malware on Android. Its not entirely uncommon.
There’s also a difference between not having a plan and not being able to articulate your plan. Articulation is a skill that needs training and people who rarely need it are rarely good at it. I can take people who have strong plans and train them to articulate it in a few weekend sessions but someone who doesn’t have a plan requires multiple years of work to develop a plan.

HEAT.Gov – National Integrated Heat Health Information System
Is that part of the genesis for these conversations about how perhaps the physical constants of the universe are slowly changing over time? If you look at the 'right' experiments, the speed of light slowly crept up over time too, IIRC. When the movement is all in one direction it's easy to speculate that maybe that's because the target keeps moving.
The only issue here is the amount of control Tesla has over “private property”.

It is not their car. They should have no say over the operating parameters.
yes that is a problem, even bigger is that pluton is intended to make this as close to impossible as is possible.

pluton is about burying TPM and keys in the processor package rather than as a separate host on the bus. this could be defeated by using microsurgical technique to reveal the die and alter the connections, an extreme effort requireing an extreme motivation.
All upgrades (e.g., FSD, acceleration boost) stay with the car. This is huge source of frustration for those of us who purchased FSD, but want to move to another car while retaining FSD.
Games that challenge the standards, therefore making them good art: Factorio. Papers please. Obra Dinn. Prison Architect. Even old-school Minecraft did amazing work challenging definitions. (Subnautica?) I haven't seen an artistically interesting AAA game in decades.
In context I think it’s clear the comment was talking specifically about the books banned from classroom teaching in certain US states.
Very yes on both, especially with firewalls.
I think, the decisive point is really in the warranty regulations, like "equal or better". You chose one (which may have been the most convenient to you at that time) and went with it. Anyways, this is how you chose to fulfil the contract. Are you really going to "fix" this years later by a withdrawal? Who has ownership of the car?
I feel like these are examples of what I was claiming more than anything
Like I said, firmware updates for the ME and PSP are generally tied to system firmware updates, so it's not just a matter of Intel and AMD packaging stuff - they'd need to change a lot of development methodology to ensure that these updates could be decoupled from the board vendor. And as far as Microsoft requiring that they implement a TPM - that's basically what they did? Microsoft just provided an implementation for them to use as well.

Pluton can be used in different contexts, and it can certainly be used in more IoT focused scenarios. UEFI doesn't really integrate with the DICE case terribly well (I'm dealing with DICE at the moment professionally, because I've made some poor choices in life), so I don't imagine it'll be relevant in the general purpose computing segment.
In other words, the Apple Solution, most of the time. Many things they do I don't agree with, but customer service is one of their stronger points. Friend of mine had a laptop go in for repair, they couldn't repair it, sent him a brand new current equivalent of his nearly three year old laptop. Now that's customer service. For the remainder of his life he's going to sing happy Apple praises to anyone who asks.
I think there's a lot to be said about the restrictions you put on a system when it comes to design.

I like Outer Wilds! It's fun, I'm currently playing through it. However, Celeste is the more mechanically interesting game when you combine the intentionally limited movement and the forgiving nature of its levels. My 9yo is currently trying to work her way through it, yet gives up on harder Mario levels. Celeste made hard, 2D platforming accessible.
The title is confusing. I did learn it that way…

> Yet Netflix and the movie industry itself hasn't been able to reduce torrenting by much,

They don't need to. Clearly streaming services have been and continue to be successful. This is not a zero sum game. Nerds who hate paying for stuff will always exist, but most people aren't going to hack a device or even download Kodi to their Fire Stick. These people are satisfied.

The old school movie studios definitely care a lot because they hate innovation, and they've definitely failed.

> Most of my non-technical friends pay for one service or maybe two, everything else is on Popcorn Time.

Sorry, you're still posting on Hacker News which has certain implications regarding the people you like hanging out with. Your non-technical friends are still unusual.
>In general, looking up where someone lives to attach a threat of violence (ie - Russian tanks in $your_city) would be considered a threat.

No, it wouldn't.

Similarly, when someone says "What if it were your child?" , that isn't a threat -- it's a request for a change in perspective.

The idea is to impress upon the reader that they're not any safer than the victim; rather that they got lucky to be unaffected and should consider the positions and perspectives of the victims when coming to a judgement of the situation.
I think the point of the original comment was that it's extremely feasible for attackers this sophisticated to have access to browser 0 day which would allow fs access, "insecure" browser or not
All time lows at only $2/tx... While the median Monero fee is at $0.0012. Even if LN transactions are free (they aren't) you still need to make hundreds of transactions before you recoup that one Bitcoin fee.

And the kicker is that Bitcoin's fees goes up when more people use it, while in Monero the fees get lower.

It's laughable to suggest Bitcoin scales better wrt to regular payments than Monero, despite Monero transactions being larger and the blockchain is harder to prune.

My hope is that the right person will see "whythehhellwouldisignupforyournewsletterafter10seconds@nevercoming.back" and get the message.
I agree with your main point - a decent working knowledge down-stack really helps with network stuffs.

"nearly complete" strikes me as a whole lot of hubris though - I've spent almost 20 years at a career that can be summed up as "weird stuff with packets on linux", and the only thing that I'm certain of is: every time I think I'm starting to get a handle on this networking thing, the universe shows me that my assessment of how much there is to know was off by at least an order of magnitude.
GitLab offers a free and open source self-hosted "community edition" and understands it to be in their strategic interests to continue with the open source offering. GitHub does not offer it and does not appear to believe that an open source self-hosted offering is in their best interests.

Supporting GitLab on those reasons alone, and choosing to pay for GitLab Enterprise Edition because they offer the Community Edition, is "philosophically aligned"
I'm confused, what's the catch? Is it satire? I know a lot of people who would take you up on this in a heartbeat.. I would if I wasn't already gainfully employed to program Typescript.. I love both mountains and Typescript. Haven't been to Nepal, but Dharamsala is close and absolutely gorgeous
Over 500 Israeli tech employees fired in one day, amid ‘bubble’ fears
alaska has 736,000 but now subtract the populations of juneau (fairly well linked to BC and WA by coastal barge service and alaska marine highway), and other SE alaska coastal towns with tug+barge cargo service, the anchorage metro area and road system, and fairbanks area.

anchorage and fairbanks have normal road links to BC and the rest of the continent, albeit long and costly for fuel.

very different cargo movement situation from what's categorized as a "fly in" community which is accessible only by airplane during 75% of the year and ice roads during the other 25%.

the remote fly in communities in alaska are closer to nunavut in terms of cargo movement costs.
Sharding is the only scalable way per my experience. The point about scalability here is, i can control the load as the data gets bigger.

I thought it was cool they retrained their Oracle DBAs into other roles as part of the project.
This helps a lot with font rendering in Linux: https://pandasauce.org/post/linux-fonts/ It's a bit of work but I was a lot happier after making all the tweaks. The biggest thing is that Chrome has its own completely isolated view of anti-aliasing independent from the system and you have to take very specific measures to configure it appropriately. I ended up just switching to Firefox and have had less troubles and more consistent fonts.

At least as early as the late 90s, servers were sometimes sold with parts—disks, controller cards, CPUs (in the days when multi-socket was more common), et c—disabled in software, unlockable if you paid for an upgrade.
> it's a reasonable assumption that it might become locked again in the future

it is absolutely not reasonable that someone will mess with your car, whether they do it by software or by breaking into yuour garage. Both should be treated as crimes.

If they want to touch the car, they need concent of it's legal owner or they can go to court, and make their case to the judge. I wonder if they can convince a Judge that Joe Bloggs should let them mess with his car, because they made a mistake while servicing Jamed Smith 10 years ago. Most likely the judge would tell them to get lost, it's their mistake after all.
That sort of thing has been going on for a long time. The 32K TRS-80 Color Computer often had 64K RAM chips installed. Early on they were populated with "half bad" 64k RAM chips, with a jumper set to which half contained the bad memory. Later in the product cycle, half bad chips really didn't exist anymore, but Radio Shack still wanted to be able to charge more for 64K models, so they still jumper disabled one of the banks of memory on models sold as 32K. Lots of people figured out they could remove the jumper to get a free upgrade of double the memory.
I remember the discourse around changing Jim's name in Huck Finn and banning To Kill a Mockingbird. Those changes and bans were wrong. But still the scope and intensity with which the extreme right are gunning for books is alarming. They're doing it more, it's more widespread, and they're using state power.

When "the left" has opposed books they try to use social pressure to get book settlers to voluntarily not stock those books. The right is currently using state power to prevent the teaching of certain books, their presence in public libraries, and are even suing to make private sales of certain books a crime in Virginia.
"M" is the highest trim level for BMW. 218i would be the lowest trim for the BMW 2 series. The owner is passing an M2 as a 218i.
Out of those I've only played Baba Is You and it's a great game, and certainly pushing game design.

It's not too unlike other programming puzzle games from zachtronics or Tomorrow Corp, but its interface is a lot more abstracted and it feels like a different paradigm than those.

I haven't played Glittermitten Grove, but Frog Fractions is a great meld and full of surprising genre shifts. It's not revolutionary, but it certainly has its own feel.

I'd have added Return of the Obra Dinn and Papers Please to the list, though. Maybe instead of Celeste, like you said.
"The metaverse" has been "a thing" since long before Facebook laid claim to it. Second Life, OpenSim, and all the various spinoffs of them beat Facebook to the punch by decades.

So, if you buy a Tesla, know your resale value is artificially low because of the actions of the company. I would expect you will also be a target of a lawsuit if Tesla reduces features to the next owner by update unless your sale contract is ironclad. Even then, if you claim features in your ad or sale agreement that might come back to haunt you. In this case, if it was branded a 90 then you are in deep.
I get €15.92 / month for monthly payments, €10.40 / month for quarterly and €3.99 / month for yearly. Are you looking at the yearly payments maybe?
I still refer back to APUE often and push my junior folks to read it.
That the buyer believes in the same thing the company "believes" in.

Eg: GitLab has an open-core product and GitHub is owned by (evil?) Microsoft.
>not about any promotion
You sure? Last I checked Google, Microsoft, and Texas Instruments have aggressive business deals with the educational sector to make sure no other company gets an edge there. I had to buy a nspire calculator for example, since teachers received commissions for the damn things (while in obligatory school).
In university, we had our own servers for various services such as email, until Microsoft came wavering their money around and literally "offering for free" their products for that university.

The sheer market manipulation these companies do is obscene, there really isn't competition, and our kids aren't offered the high quality and respectful services they deserve. In the case of Texas instruments, parents will have their pockets robbed. Thing cost my parents 200 bucks, and the only thing it was used for, was rendering some fancy parabolas.

Anyways, I didn't mean to throw private contracts out the window completely. And, have since clarified that in another reply to this thread.
Seriously, look he hasn’t even blink once
What a terrible PR stunt. Leaving the extra capacity in place costs them nothing. The money for the bigger pack spent long ago. Now they have bad PR and an unhappy customer. How many people are going to read this and say to themselves "Yikes, I won't ever be buying a Tesla, look how they treat their customers!"

They should have used it for a little warm fuzzy "Hey we see this was in the system wrong, your car is in fact a 60, but you may now consider it officially a 90. If you haven't already, we'd be happy to send you a complimentary 90 badge to put on the back." Cost practically nothing, instant goodwill.

I enjoyed my Tesla, won't be buying another however.
Ask HN: is learning Elixir suitable for a kid who currently uses MIT’s Scratch?
Someone asked me about this on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/ralmidani_exercism-activity-6957666476564619264-4VVf

I am not sure how to answer. Part of me thinks starting out with Elixir would wire the kids’s brain to think about transformation of immutable data, isolating side effects, implicit return, and everything is an expression before encountering Imperative/OO programming. Would learning Elixir now be good for his long-term development and future career?
Initially that’s the case, but once the production yield improves, they frequently start gimping large numbers of them.
If the demand was high, why was the pay so low?
> no, FSD does not transfer to the next owner

It does transfer to a new owner in private sales.

I think you are referring to the point that you can buy it for one Tesla, and it doesn’t transfer if you upgrade to a new Tesla.

I have a model y, and I will say that all of the “little duck bites” are vastly overrated for my use case. I can imagine someone for whom these duck bites may be an issue, but I am not one of them, and none of my friends who own teslas are either.

I imagine that you will enjoy your new Tesla immensely, and you will wonder what all of the negativity was/is about. Imho, it’s just contrarian yipping against something trendy.
Columbia House even had 8-tracks back in the day.

Terra Houte, Indiana was actually a semi-important force in the music industry at one point due to Columbia house.
That's been my feeling with ChangLi cars in general. USD$2000 cars that are considered "fun" to drive on Alibaba seems very much like a leading indicator for a disruption curve of some sort. (Imagine if you saw $2000 cars on Amazon tomorrow.) A lot of people are still assuming the base price of EVs is going to remain around current ICE prices or worse the current ICE price plus "EV luxury tax" (which often seems to be misattributed to battery costs and/or battery supply chain issues), but ChangLi seems to be showing us that assumption may not hold up in the long term (especially once supply chain issues are sorted) and playfully remind us that there's a greater less explored vehicle spectrum space between "golf cart" and "real car" that ICE extremely underserved and EVs open up more niches to easily/enjoyably explore.
Here's the comment flow:

> Even if its an act of sabotage, like someone shooting at the battery. It would not happen with a regular diesel bus.

He's saying, even with sabotage, it would not have happened with a diesel bus.

Then a link was posted showing a diesel bus catching fire, no sabotage required. Diesel vehicle fires aren't some impossibility, as a quick google search will make clear.
Starlink at 130km/h (80mph) in Ukraine
From Mykhailo Fedorov, Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation:

As of now we have over 12K Starlinks in Ukraine. They help with access to high-quality internet in difficult conditions. Still we are wondering of all possible ways to use @SpaceX tech. Our telecom team made Starlink test drive on the road at a speed of 130 km/h. Check the video.
You've probably heard about them a lot on HN but i'd recommend Mullvad, they are also big on wiregaurd, lots of servers, lots of countries, well known for privacy focus... i don't even use their app, just download the wiregaurd configs and use wg-quick to bring them up from the cli, been using them for few years now I think.
I've been involved in screening candidates where we basically did just put aside applications from people whose commercial experience was not exactly what the JD was asking for, and indeed some were those with a background in testing/QA when we specifically needed a developer. But that's because we had a ton of resumes sent through by recruiters where it seemed like they'd done very little to ensure they were sending us relevant candidates.
To be fair we would have put your resume aside if you'd removed your QA experience too if you didn't also have significant commercial experience as a developer.

But in general if I was responsible for the final call on a junior hire I'd definitely prefer someone with industry experience even in a different role over someone with none at all.
This is definitely true sometimes, but the “wrong” kind of experience can definitely hamper people.

I have a highly skilled senior developer with a desktop app development background who joined our web team, he’s excellent at many tasks but keeps getting tripped up when dealing with state. He logically knows how it works, but his muscle memory when programming is so used to being able to rely on state that it’s hard for him stop letting those concepts leak in and trip him up.

He’s still an amazing asset to the team, but in this case he does have some experience that’s hampering him in a new role.
Usually I’ll add +myfeelings on the local part in case their MTA does subaddressing. And making it unique increases the chances of adding a new entry to their list.
