It is irrelevant. Once anybody is elected to congress they become part of a society which fraternizes together, schemes together, colludes together, and looks out for each other. It's one big party with engineered fake differences to keep commoners bickering. Congressmen and congresswomen don't represent you or your interests any more than necessary to get reelected. Candidates burn unspeakable amounts of money to get their face in front of the public to get elected. And even if they get voted out for enacting unfavorable policies there are zero consequences and their close buddies are elected instead. You can only vote for members of the same family. They may be affiliated with one or the other party but it's fundamentally just one family. One society that anybody is allowed to pull candidates from in practice. Outsiders will almost NEVER be elected. If they are, the mistake is quickly corrected with a character assassination (Trump) by the Intelligence Community, which works very closely with The Family. This money comes from special interest groups which willingly burn that money to stay in power. Once in power, the elected ones kick back favors to the same special interest groups that allowed them to ascend to power (again, by allowing candidates and incumbents to burn cash to put the candidate's name and face everywhere). Most people only vote for familiar names, faces, those who they are told to vote for by their pastor or other organization, or along party lines. It is a miracle this country still functions.

We’ve been hearing that for at least 4 years at this point. Along with scenarios where Volkswagen or Ford is going to teach Tesla how things really work. I’m not persuaded.

First, my understanding is that Tesla has a night and day lead in battery sourcing.

Second, Tesla doesn’t have the legacy costs that the others do.

Also, at this point, Tesla is still selling cars faster than they can build them. Even if demand weakens, they may still be at max output.
There's a way to point this out without the hostility.
Hear hear.

To add, I started treating most information outlets, including HN, as endless faucets of propaganda, misinformation AND misdirection. The outrage is, at best, a farcical play of human dramas unfolding on a stage. To take any of this seriously is borderline pathological.
> Why are you so angry about this? Honest question.

It’s performative, hypocritical, and a form of social aggression used to assert your own standing/power, not to actually help a single person.

“Acknowledgement” has not been practiced for “many TENS of THOUSANDS of years”.

> I’m not guilting anyone to do anything.

Of course you are. See all the “yikes” and “woah” you post, and weird capitalization of “TENS of THOUSANDS” above. You absolutely are attempting to leverage vapid social aggression to guilt people into following your silly religious dogma.

> It’s not even posturing.

Of course it is. It’s a meaningless, modern, invented platitude used by people like yourself to advertise how virtuous you believe you are.

> It’s tradition for the people who walked this land long before me.

Your useless “acknowledgement” of having stolen the land while refusing to give it back? That’s not some ancient tradition.

Every group prior took land from others, claimed it at their own, and didn’t pretend to performative “guilt” over having done so.
But the question was how many execution ports it has, not what's the latency/throughput of one port.
I hate california because out of hubris they create their own huge problems, ignore the obvious but slightly detrimental to the elite there solutions, claim the actual solution is some huge overengineered, overthought, magic bullet solution that is pretty much impossible to actually happen, and then that all allows Republicans to point and laugh and pretend the rest of the Democrat led states aren't perfectly functional and doing very well.
I’m not shilling for “Hey” but preventing this type of spam is the primary selling point of the service. All email should be deny by default. Not some, all. Only explicitly allowed senders should make it to my inbox, and only I should be in charge of managing those explicitly allowed senders.

Grassley’s confusion between email and physical mail is just another reason why we need age caps for holding office. Grassley is 88. We’re approaching gerontocracy territory with people like this in charge. No one over 70 should be allowed to hold public office. If you’re running for Senate you should age out of eligibility on your 64th birthday. 68 for the House, and 66 for Presidency.
> women are not as capable as men at life.

I don't know if it's "impolite" but I do know that you can't troll HN like this. We've banned the account.

If you don't want to be banned, you're welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com and give us reason to believe that you'll follow the rules in the future. They're here: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

What happened to those human rights when apple used uyghur slave labor in china?

I guess profiting off of genocide is a-okay?
Queue "yo mamma" joke.
Look in your Gmail spam folder sometime.

Then consider this: this spam is sent, continually, even in this day and age, because someone somewhere does fall for it.

It's the same reason telemarketers still exist despite the vitriol you'll hear from here and many other places - there are still some people somewhere who will buy something from a cold call.

I could never imagine myself buying or voting for something in response to an unsolicited phone call or email - at this point it just seems like common sense to me.

But I guess there are people out there that are really sad or angry to the point where if something makes them feel better about the world, they'll give things more trust than they should. I think it could happen to anyone, really.
If you’re not talking about federal roads then I don’t think your comment is relevant to a discussion of US Government projects.

Of course, I use make most of the time, but I'm used to having a .o file right next to my .c file.
I have a bluetooth audio receiver in the home office, bt in my car and bt headphones and none of it has given me any trouble. Just works. The only issue I have is which phone the car decides to pair with when we get in to go somewhere together. Oh, I guess we also have one of those bluetooth battery powered speakers for taking to the park. It works fine too. I connect to the bluetooth audio receiver with my linux, mac and windows laptops on an almost daily basis, no problem.

What problems are you running into?
Kids survived perfectly fine in the past without their parents being available 24/7.
I anti-recommend Clash Royale. It is a really good Tower defense game with all the p2w mechanics you hate.
Well, it's a '49, ...
Decided to go into the source again, and yes, it's mostly implemented in Makefiles, but they are wildly different from the kind of makefile discussed in the article, with considerable amount of machinery in macros and external C programs (whole "features" thing) to the point that individual makefiles in subdird probably wouldn't parse right if not executed through kbuild wrapper
It would be incredibly irresponsible to travel with an active COVID infection
This looks great. How would I apply this retroactively? I.e. tell SQLite to compress column x in an existing database, say, of type TEXT?
Yes that's the one I use. Totally functional but agreed it could be better. Grateful for the app all the same.
Growing up, my teenage friend group would frequently dive into mental diagnosis and personality assessments. This feels like a very common teenage thing to do and TikTok didn't invent it. At that age, you don't know who you are or why you do things you do and there's comfort in learning about this stuff. For that matter, it's a joke among psych students that you begin to diagnose yourself and your friends as you take abnormal psych.

Or maybe it wasn't a common thing for friend groups to do and mine was strange. We didn't have the WSJ to tell us.
> Is it fair to say that stimulants having a significant impact is an indicator for having ADHD?

Honestly I'd say it's the opposite. Stimulants barely touch the sides with me, even the non-prescribed types a younger version of me may or may not have dabbled in were pretty ineffective.

My observation is the opposite, I actually very very rarely get anything from Republicans, but non stop garbage from Democrats.

> In the case of Secret Labs they’re making something for £5, selling it for £10 and claiming it’s worth £15.

Suggesting that a company shouldn't be allowed to make this claim is absurd because the "True value" of the product is an opinion. It's equivalent to saying something like "This chair is the greatest chair known to man kind."
Desktop was 3 years from 6.06 onwards, only server had 5 years. Might have changed recently. This meant you had a year to upgrade the old LTS before it went end of life (from 2008 releases moved back to April, 6.06 was the first LTS and I assume they took a little longer getting it out. I think the version before was 5.10)

I guess it basically comes down to: how likely is a call from an unknown number to be important for me? It turns out this is wildly different for different lives.
Like playing an instrument is just following the notes?

You can do it, but the result won't be good until you practise some. Mistakes will be made. Results may have to be eaten due to financial constraints, good or not.
> Then you leave ISO on auto if it makes sense for the lighting conditions, or manually set it if needed

Fun thing with modern cameras is that "iso" doesn't actually matter much at all. Typically you can just use one or two fixed iso settings for everything and adjust the exposure in post as needed. Keyword for reading more about this is "iso invariance".
> We're just reacting to what appears to be agreement with that approach, even if unintentional.

Agreed. I'm addressing precisely the point in GP comment "neurodiversity is not a falsifiable diagnosis", which is something I feel quite strongly about. Other issues in this complex space that I think also are worth being discussed but I am not trying to get into in this thread:

- overdiagnosis of ADHD/ASD

- underdiagnosis of ADHD/ASD in certain subgroups (especially women/NB, minority, and underprivileged groups)

- ADHD/ASD are/are not on the same spectrum

- drug-seeking behavior for access to stimulant meds

- overmedication, undermedication, and incorrect diagnosis leading to iatrogenic harm (eg giving antipsychotics to a "bipolar" individual whose "bipolar" is realdy emotional lability due to ADHD/ASD

Each one of those topics I could talk about at length. They are related, but distinct.
Er, that's the topic of the thread?
A while loop is not semantic support for incrementing a number on each loop. It is semantic support for checking a condition on each loop.

You can increment a number yourself, but at that point you're doing something where there is significantly better language support for just using iterators. You may as well claim Rust has semantic support for, idk, bubblesort, because you can write bubblesort with it.
So your arguing that they are illegally marking this despite FDA rules and regulations?
Yea, thought not. So we agree that they are following the rules. So this whole “you are supposed to do …” doesn’t really constitute an argument.

Also both arguing that the drug is overpriced because it’s just a combination of two other available drugs that you could just buy separately and take together, and then also arguing that they should have conducted a separate tox and efficacy study on the exact formulation they are using is crazy.

And you state it yourself in your argument, you are allowed to make changes to the formulation, and not suprimo no Ku they where allowed. And they are not illegally marketing this, so what on earth is your argument?
you could distinguish a loaf of bread, which is processed, from boxed bread products like crackers or cookies (ultraprocessed), but i doubt that distinction matters much for our health, as they'll both likely include said additives in varying amounts. in shopping and food prep, i'd consider them synonyms--as in, things to avoid (but not dogmatically, sometimes you want some potato chips).

processed foods only comes in a box, bag, or can; that is, most of the center aisles in a grocery store. buy mostly fruits, vegetables, meats, seafood, and dairy--things found on the outer ring of the store. if you want grains or beans, prefer buying the grains/beans directly, not the boxed form of them.
This is all well and good if you've got a smartphone with Google's authenticator or have a safe deposit box. The people using a library for Internet access don't necessarily have access to either of those things. They also may have had access at some point in the past but no longer do.
- Terraform to spin up VMs in the cloud (e.g., "give me a Ubuntu machine with 4GB of ram")

- Ansible to provision such VMs

- Docker to start/stop containers on such VMs

It feels like a breeze of fresh air!
I do not. I had a psychiatrist years ago who insisted I was ADHD. I was also on heavy dose of Zoloft. He prescribed Adderall XR. Took it for months. Did nothing. Years later, I've done a ton of transformative work on myself. I realized it (the supposed condition) was mostly about me not wanting to do what was in front of me. I've tried taking both standard Adderall and XR in the recent past and it does absolutely zero.

Possibly related - my PCP gave me a genetic test and it showed that I have some gene configuration that essentially makes me immune to the effects of caffeine. Which makes sense, because I have to drink a boatload to feel anything from it.
Singapore, Gibson details, is lacking any sense of creativity or authenticity,

I find it interesting the impression I personally formed of Singapore exactly matches the one Gibson did over a decade earlier. I understand how a particular kind of person could see it as a paradise, but personally I found it the most depressing place on earth.
Yeah, we had two telephone bills into the mid 90s. One for the phone line, and one for long distance. And before my time, you used to have to rent the phone from the phone company as well.

Fangamer | Fullstack Ruby Engineer | Full-Time | Tucson, AZ or REMOTE | https://fangamer.com/jobs | jobs@fangamer.com

Fangamer sells video games and video game related merchandise. You can view our catalog at https://fangamer.com .

We prefer to build our own in-house apps as we have found that coding our own workflows provides the force multiplier to allow us to efficiently launch, ship, and promote new products weekly. As an example of some of the products our web development team works on:

* A shipping system that interfaces directly with Zebra printers.

* A purchase order system to manage the parts necessary for each product (a Collector's Editions may have many parts that need to be ordered from different vendors.)

* A privacy-centric customer service app.

* A privacy-centric file download system for certain products that does not require any data collection (ie. get the MP3 with the vinyl).

* Internal financial app that manages our royalty calculations.

We're looking for someone familiar with Ruby, Rails, Postgres, and interfacing with many different APIs. A huge bonus for experience in e-commerce or being privacy-aware in general.

Although we are based in Tucson, AZ, our company is about 25% remote, with half our development team being remote, and have had a remote-first culture from the start; so no need to go to our office. As such, we are an asynchronous team with different developers being heads of different apps or modules.

And we have great work-life balance so taking time-off absolutely fine, and we have encourage anti-crunch throughout the company since we know that crunch is endemic within the gaming sector. ("Michael, go home" is one of our internal mottos.)

If the above interested you, visit the listing at https://fangamer.com/jobs/ or email jobs@fangamer.com . (Salary range is listed on the fangamer.com/jobs page.)
I was struggling with that until I started prepping ingredients ahead of time.

If you already have diced onion, bell peppers, and mushrooms in the fridge, then it doesn't even take fifteen minutes to make an omelette, a salad, or some sauteed vegetables with sausage.

The only thing that you need is that after bringing groceries home you need to prep the vegetables and put them in the fridge. The good thing is that all that labor is amortized for the rest of the week, and it makes home cooking easier and faster than ordering delivery.
I think they still have a significant lead in actual production manufacturing engineering. It's one of the primary things they do, and have some of the best minds in the world for it. I think Tesla can catch up, but right now Tesla has a very outmoded plant itself, its a former GM plant built in the 60's and rebuilt for NUMI in the 80's. While they're building new ones, a majority of the big three's plants date from 1980-2005, and are newer in structure.

If you talk about how cars are built, all auto manufactures seem to follow the same basic model to build cars, robotic welded bodies, a mix of manual and robotic paint and a moving assembly line to put the rest on - everyone does it the same way with some minor variations. Similarly Toyotas JIT supply system is used the world over by all auto manufacturers because it improves the balance sheet.
I regularly recommend Blindsight here.

It's not an easy read by any means. But the ideas are too good to ignore.

> about an alien species whose brains are so much faster than ours

The reason _why_ they are much faster than ours is fascinating too.
Hell no. Im a big convert. It solves a !lot! of problems.
This is a wildly incorrect approach. Ideally, they would separate the core of what's necessary for any one thing into one composer package, and then everything else into their own (e.g. a youtube package, a drive package, etc.)

This way.. I can see you having a code dependency that needs Drive, but b/c you've cleaned out everything except YouTube it's going to fail - and that's sort of breaking the way Composer is supposed to work.
>The top ten automakers have huge amounts of debt

They have huge amounts of debt because they run huge financing departments and therefore also have a huge number of assets on the balance sheet.

>Their gross margin on cars is the highest in the industry.

They have a completely different sales model, so it's apples to oranges. Most OEMs wholesale cars to dealers, of course those margins will be smaller.

>Tesla has been hitting their goal of growing at 50% per year for a decade and plans to continue until they are making 20 million cars a year in 2030.

Base rate fallacy, extrapolated into infinity, sure.

>The next 5 years are critical for the existing players and many will shrink dramatically or go bankrupt.

Some will disappear or merge, of course. But the next 5 years is also crucial for Tesla, since they are still a rounding error in global market share.
I lived at that time, and I don't remember it looking like that. All the colors are washed out!
The issue is rather that nothing in your rule-of-thumb works.

Frozen corn vs whole corn? Were you planning to eat the cob? Does it help my diet to cut corn kernels off manually? How?

Meat you have to cut? Maybe you're thinking hot dogs here, my first thought was ground beef. Does breaking out the meat grinder, and cleaning it, help me eat right? How?

Fish you have to filet? Can I just buy the filets? Or is it 100% necessary that fish skin rot in my garbage can.

Boxed wine? Generally I consider corked wine undrinkable, and I struggle to think what other contribution a cork per se can offer to wine.

Sliced bread? I mean. Look it's a really bad set of rules so I'll have mercy here, the kind of bread which is available only sliced is not great for you, so at least here I can infer your meaning.

Not that it matters because the #1 source of extra pounds on my waist is whole loaves of sourdough bread. I slice them myself.
