This is another one of Tesla’s innovations/disruptions that is clearly better and the rest of the industry is too stubborn to change even if it’s better for the consumer. No likes being hassled and pressured by a dealer.

Does any other car company let you order a car online for a flat price with minimal overhead and have it delivered right to your door?

Tesla has fought every other car company state by state with little support to be able to give the consumer a significantly better buying experience.

I’m sure if you asked the CEO of Ford today he still wouldn’t support Tesla’s business model. You can’t play both sides.
That doesn't track.

When people who are and have been marginalized, after centuries of fighting, finally get some of the establishment on their side, it doesn't suddenly become "punching up" to mock and satirize the efforts to get them the recognition, opportunity, and equity they deserve, even if said punches are, on the surface, aimed at individuals with positions of power.
Managed Airflow doesn't even solve any of the author's outlined frustrations. It keeps the "obscene" syntax, it's still stateless, it's not "decentralized" etc.

Honestly, the article is so disingenuous that it comes off like a paid-for puff piece for Astronomer. It's the article-equivalent of the late-night infomercial guy who rips open a bag of potato chips like the hulk because he doesn't have this special tool that's just four easy payments of $9.99.
Apparently most of that came from arbitraging bond ETFs and bonds. The spreads started to diverge in early 2020 when covid was just coming out, and Jane Street had the balls (and cash) to hold until the spreads converged. Helped significantly by the US fed pumping a bunch of money into the market.

Can you help with some fun jumping off points?

I'm a dev interested in learning more.
What I said was actually just linking to his "pedophile diver" twitter comment, and a NPR article about his ongoing spat with the SEC. Definitely not the smoothest presentation, but I figured it'd be best to let more neutral sources speak than express an opinion in my own words.

And sure, if a person unconditionally worship someone, that person would probably consider anything that tarnishes the image of that someone as inconsiderate.
Heh. Read about cosmic microwave background: it's a print of some microscopic disturbances in the baby-age Universe, now permeating all of it.

It's just how this world works. Tiny early events grow to colossal scale as the thing that experienced it grows, be it a code base, a company's culture, biological structures, all the way up.

No matter what, we have to put up with that, and tread lightly when anything of consequence depends on us. For which, of course, there's never enough time.
"It's because of inflation" - that these companies continue to increase through the roof by engaging in corporate greed.
What? If you live in the very small towns of America you drive 30 minutes to 2 hours away to the dealerships in bigger towns which are usually owned by people far away.
I'm pretty much of the same position: I would vaccinate (and did) because I think that it is the right thing to do (unfortunately I caught a pretty bad case of the virus well before vaccines were available, so by the time I got the vaccine it was more for mobility reasons than because I expected a major boost against the virus from it) and at the same time oppose a vaccine mandate, it just doesn't seem right to me, people should have the right to choose such things even though the net result for society is negative and if they catch if for them personally it is even more negative or even fatal.

As for Afghanistan: that's a mess that has such a complicated history (going back 100+ years if you really dig into it) that someone who is mostly following orders by whoever is in command of that particular group is likely not going to bother reading up on to make up their mind on which side of that particular line they want to stand. Otherwise they wouldn't be in that line of business to begin with.
He's no longer in the running.
that's one solution

What about accounts that should "stick around" (eg Twitter's keeping past presidents' tweets available indefinitely)?

Why 1 year? Why not 1 month? Or 10 years? Should it be a blanket rule? Or one that every user can manipulate for themselves?
I think I'm missing the connection between how HFT's trade and how it takes money away from regular people.
Ask HN: What startsups made the best early-tech decisions?
I've always been impressed by Discord's engineering culture and think they made most of the right decisions regarding their tech stack.

What other startups got their tech stack right?
This is, I believe, why British surgeons are properly addressed as Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms LastName, rather than Dr LastName: originally a way of keeping them in their place (because only physicians were "real" doctors), it has since been adopted as a badge of pride.
This something that annoys me to no end about VPN ads. I listen to alot of podcasts so I can't go a day without hearing an ad for ExpressVPN. The ad read always includes a bit about "hackers being able to see your data on an open network".

And while technically true, I could technically run an old http only site and you might happen to be on the same network as a hacker using the decades old Firesheep, so yeah technically that could happen, but it's just so disingenuous when they come out and hammer that point home.

Anyways rant over.
If we hit a 3rd quarter in a row of contracting GDP, would you call it a recession?
Economists have always kind of applied an "I know it when I see it, typically after the fact" sort of test for recessions (the two-quarter thing is a rule of thumb, but isn't taken that seriously). But just "there's highish inflation" wouldn't normally be considered a recession, and it is unusual to have a recession with very high employment; historically nearly all periods that ultimately get called major recessions have significant joblessness as a feature.
Code is law only if you are an NPC. If you are a normal user, code is just rules that are potentially breakable
I wonder what confusion led to this, macaroni cheese (no `and`) has been a British staple for centuries.

Boxed macaroni cheese can be purchased at every Tesco as "cheesy pasta".

Judging it to be disgusting I would agree with, but 'unknown'? By no means.
I didn't realize college admissions' affirmative action had reached SCOTUS. I wonder what the outcome will be.

Key summary:

> "Today Yale joined peer institutions in stating emphatically that student diversity is essential to the missions of American universities and promotes educational excellence for all students,” President Peter Salovey said. “Our amicus curiae brief makes clear that the way we consider race and ethnicity as part of individualized applicant review is crucial to achieving a richly diverse academic environment that enhances students’ educational experiences and maximizes their future success. Yale stands firm in supporting universities’ established right to compose incoming classes that are diverse along many dimensions and in its commitment to enrolling students from all walks of life."

I wish I had more understanding of the topic. Diversity seems to have two dimensions to it: (1) diversity of thought, (2) diversity of background. Diversity of background would seem to encourage more diversity of thought, which I think is typically desirable, but has this been proven out/quantified? Conversely, governance seems to be a lot harder (i.e. require more authoritarian approaches to get goals accomplished) where there is diversity of thought. Please note I'm not making a normative statement here.
I've found that both are pleasant to work with, on the cloud side at least.

That pleasant demeanor doesn't always translate into getting immediate results, but how could it really?
Got the same thing with Ebay. I created an account. I attempted to sell a Linguistics textbook. I was immediately banned. They wouldn't tell me why. My account will still let me BUY from ebay. But I'm not going to.
I worked at a place in the '90s with a call center where legal caught wind of the desired demographic being young attractive females. It was said people got fired over it.

Also, I like "Trying to stretch the formula to cover complex political issues feels like it's just attacking strawmen". So many discussions and debates involve building strawmen and "destroying" them to make one think that "owned" the other.
I imagined, based on the title of this article, that Dilbert had turned into something like the Babylon Bee. (If you don't know, the Babylon Bee is a deeply unfunny attempt at a right-wing Onion.)

Instead, I found myself laughing at all of these comics. Yes, Adams has gone full nutjob, but the restraints of the comic strip format seem to keep his more bizarre views in check.
I’m confused. Why would browsers’ isolation of anything preclude rendering native controls? Native controls aren’t all in some global singleton process shared across non-browser apps (at least not in any environment I’m aware of, and the thought of a design like that fills me with dread).

All a browser needs to do to render native controls securely is to render them as opaque to the JS/DOM runtime. This has even been formalized as “shadow DOM”. At least so far as I’m aware, Safari still renders native controls by default. Other browsers vary in their use of native controls but that’s been the case for decades.
If I'm selling a product, I can either take on distribution on my own (no dealerships, self-serve) or partner with resellers (dealerships).

With the former, I control the entire sales UX and receive a higher price. If we're talking physical goods, I do have to spend more effort getting my product out there for people to inspect, try, etc. With the latter, I'm outsourcing sales to someone else. They have to procure the land, build the showroom, etc. I as the product maker just need to dump my products on them. That person receives a cut of the sale.

Assuming I have my understanding above right, I see the following factors challenging the dealership/reseller model:

* The product doesn't need to be physically inspected anymore. Much like the purchasing behavior around an iPhone, if the customer can easily grok what's going on a webpage _and_ easily return it, they are more open taking a leap of faith sight unseen or "less seen". At this point, the reseller model brings friction into the process.

* The product is so in demand that the reseller accumulates leverage and starts to upcharge which OP's video is related. The product maker has no control over these premiums. In a high volume low margin business with added pressure to eke out anything, the product maker begins to wonder.

* Due to high real estate costs, the reseller underserves certain geographies.
Labor numbers are NOT strong, we still have not gotten back to Pre-Covid Levels

And U6 unemployment is raising, suer U3 is not, but U3 is a terrible statistic in the first place.

Exactly my point. They are selling in fiat currency a lie. That 100% is accessible for litigation. The whole crypto->crypto thing could be seen as not a crime because who can tell it’s worth other than the darn fiat converter!

Toyota can get away with it because they're the Kitchenaid or Levis Jeans of cars. They spent time building up a very reputable brand image and now premium consumers have it in their mind that they're "good" and any action they take can then be justified post-hoc.
The website is a sort-of voluntary enthusiast thing where subscription fees cover the costs of everything.
No, that would not be a rephrasing of my comment. But you probably already knew that.
I don’t know if car scalping is a major thing, the risk reward doesn’t really work out IMO and arguably the dealership is the one doing the scalping…
I've had reasonable experiences with the Subaru dealerships

Currently have a 2022 Outback on order and final price including drive-away costs in Australia came in at ~3000$ AUD below the online build price.

That was including some accessories and delivery costs to a different state from the dealership where I ordered it...
No. Companies being beholden to shareholders is absolutely a law. The shareholders own the company after all, they can fire anyone at the company they want.
And as we know, a rare anecdote reported on in a sensationalist rag is credible evidence of a widespread phenomenon.
Tesla has a year backlog and no scalper issue. So it’s not that.

Yep that can be good. Sometimes.

I can't agree with you that this kind of training is very good, however. It is often very political and propagandist.

But I value taking good things from everywhere. E.g. I am not a Christian but I know there are some good things in their teachings as well
“Other people in the world are inconsiderate assholes, therefore I should be an inconsiderate asshole to help my coworkers prepare for the inevitable. And if they can’t handle it, too bad.”

By the same token do you cheat at every game with your children to teach them the cold truth about society?
If I have it right, she feels a great deal of frustration and betrayal. But apparently not enough to give up hope that her idea is the best course to achieve progress for society.
I would like to support your opinion here. I’ve been a beta-tester for one bank as well as I've been reading it’s CEO's blog where he was occasionally explaining what stays behind their decisions as a bank and I had learned a bit from their back stage.

When you as a company (especially financial one) is serving thousands or millions of customers you must have/rely on statistics with a heuristic to detect fraudulent or an abusing customers. Also you have to decide whether you will have any troubles by giving a loan to a particular person. Such heuristic systems are scoring using hundreds (if not thousands) parameters like age, marriage status, sex, whether you believer or not, what is your smartphone (e.g. according to bank's statistics Android users are tending to not return credits more ofter) and so on…

What’s most important: banks will never disclosure what has lead them to their decision like to decline in a credit line. Just to avoid further cheating with their heuristic systems.

I believe the author had become a victim of such heuristic which is likely had detected something unusual, then it considered his profile + recent connections (perhaps he had specified a different country than Turkey), and finally «free tier» had added some alarming amount to scoring. Otherwise I can't explain why support had wrapped up a chatting so quickly and unfriendly. For me everything points out on that there was a distinct reason for them to cease his account and they won't like to disclosure it in any way.
I'm 55+ and left the field ages ago, but I experienced this in my late 30s and 40s since the field was and apparently still is mostly dominated by people in their 20s, which from an overall point of view can also be a good thing. It's not their fault however; workers in the IT field are often regarded as numbers, exchangeable commodities that can be moved around at will by HR. "I know a team of smart guys very prolific in C++" becomes "I have 5 C++ resources", so treating them as machines where the newest one is always a better version of the older one is just a matter of time.
This comment is setting off all of my "culture war" alarm bells that typically I do not find on HN. References to TikTok and "paid activists", "never working a job that isn't 30 minutes of work."

I'm not sure if I am supposed to take these claims seriously or whether they are exaggerations to paint a picture. Obviously this caricature doesn't describe the vast majority of engineers at Google or other "FAANG" companies.

> I don't fault anyone, especially anyone who graduated in '10 or later for this. I just hope they are preparing for this.

The '20 post-covid labor market was weaker for graduates than in '08 [0] and hiring in tech is more challenging.

The Renaissance Periodization diet app is the best app I've ever used. It's main goal is to help you plan the number of calories and macronutrients in your meals for bodyweight-based goals. However, it has the shopping list, recipes, and meal planning that you want also. Best UX I have ever had with any of these apps by far!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Clever parsing code, multiple commits to get it right (https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/commit/2f7c583143bc6e8090213..., https://github.com/WayneD/rsync/commit/3d7015afa223494e33184...), no tests, seemingly no code review. Not an attack on the maintainer of rsync - this pattern is typical for security patches.

Within a few days, tools like Twistlock are going to alert on the CVE, and companies across the world will blindly upgrade without reviewing the change. Rinse and repeat thousands of times per year.

Our industry continues to not take security seriously while pretending that it does.
Hello everyone! we would like to share with you this podcast (for Spanish speakers) about the importance of QA in development projects by our QA Engineers Mariano Castillo and Facundo Mallea. They talk about what it’s like to work with QA, what they do, what tools they use, among other things in the world of testing.

Even for languages that can compile to wasm (Go, Rust), the compilation toolchain doesn't necessarily run in the browser. AFAIK there's no good way to run LLVM in wasm yet. You could do the compilation on the server and then send it back down to the browser to run, though.

Theoretically, it should be possible to do it all in the browser, just a lot more work given the state of things now.

In those cases regulations say that if you inform the customer of it you are conducting a tipping offense - which carries criminal penalties.

At places like Starbucks I wonder what all they do behind the scenes to make sure the network is secure. Like if I go into a mom and pop coffee shop and ask for the WiFi password, that's one thing. But with starbucks all having a standardized wifi infra in their stores, I wonder what sorts of things are happening behind the scenes to make sure everything stays secure. If consumers are worried about WiFi at these places, I bet Starbucks IT obsesses over it.

> I think Google has much more and has been getting away with it because of all its profits coming in.

I feel like making the suggestion to go to someplace else with your grievance is a moment in a conversation after the participants understand the immediate blockers to an issue. These CS responses always resembled a stonewall to me. It is not how I would make that suggestion.

I leverage that response by trying to make the client feel like I am bringing them closer into the loop. Make getting involved in the suggestion board feel more like an invitation. Let them know of the team that wants to hear from them. If on-boarding is not considered a part of a client's problem-pain calculus, white-glove the sign-up process. Since people have gotten comfortable with video calling, clients have enjoyed getting personal attention from executives in 30-minute qualitative meetings with the product team.
Yes, trying not to offend people is fundamentally important to working together.

"How do I know what offends a particular person?" Basic cultural competency will dictate that there are words or stereotypes that are considered offensive to certain people. Outside of that, yes, you will probably make mistakes and aggrieve people from time to time. Again, making an occasional social blunder is a basic part of human relationships. When that happens, listen to why the person is offended. Often they will have real, good reasons that center on them feeling disrespected, and having that disrespect hurt their career or life. Then, apologize sincerely. Then, don't continue making the same mistake, that would be extremely disrespectful. If you wholesale disagree and think the offended person is being trivial or absurd, just don't bring it up or find a new place to work.
