> The rich keep 10% of their portfolios liquid

While it's true most rich do keep a proportion of their portfolio in liquid assets, this doesn't imply cash:

> Cash equivalents are typically investments that have short-term maturities of less than 90 days and are considered liquid assets because they can be readily converted to cash.

> Stocks and marketable securities

> U.S. Treasuries and bonds

> Mutual funds

> Money-market funds

Hard disagree. I love Web menus like these, because it means I don't have wait staff constantly disturbing my conversation. In Australia, a lot of them are rigged up so that - even if I'm paying for the meal on my tab - the person I'm dining with can order from their phone instead of the "pass my phone around the table" dance that you describe.

No more "sir are you ready to order" when we haven't even glanced at the menu yet at restaurants. No more "can I get you another drink". No more desperately trying to attract the attention of waitstaff.
No more "oh whose round is it now" and trying to remember 8 different orders when you're out at a bar.

An entire suite of dining annoyances just... gone. I love it.

Edit: note that this assumes that they're using a system that allows you to order and pay through the web system as well. Others are talking about PDF menus and that's quite rare here now.
I may be wrong but openssl was never deemed poor quality primarily due to the devs not giving a damn but because of legacy code and lack of funds.

If this is true, how would a founder or large shareholder ever retire (or even unexpectedly die and have their estate liquidated) without immediately killing the company they are a majority shareholder in? It seems like this must have happened at some point.
That's not necessarily true. For example, Apple is the king of both additive and subtractive bullet point features, and they sell like hotcakes.
Not forgetting of course that Twitter almost certainly uses several languages on the backend, and has it entwined in their infrastructure. As TFA says:

"One former Tesla engineer, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly describe the matter but was not involved, said Tesla engineers would have trouble capably assessing Twitter’s code. Distributed systems, the large-scale and spread-out network that Twitter is composed of, are not the automaker’s specialty, the person said."
> not genuine interest in someone's work

That's your threshold for asking employees to summarize what they've been doing recently?

Two things are happening here. One, we're bringing on much more Lithium production all around the world. The price increase is coordinating that, but people can also see the writing on the wall. There's plenty of innovation happening in Lithium mining and extraction.

The other thing is we're innovating in battery chemistry. It would not surprise me if Lithium were only one of many options in ten years, depending on the storage capacity and number of cycles needed per kg. Sodium is a likely candidate, and it's as cheap and available as salt. Iron, aluminum, and others are a possibility, for stationary batteries where weight doesn't matter.

I know people here are very skeptical of every battery advance press release, and rightfully so. But nonetheless, some of that is going to pan out, and the world of energy storage is going to fundamentally change the economics for cars, airplanes, and grid storage within the next decade.
Wealthy and diversified is different from holding a bunch of cash.

Certainly the gini coefficient of actual cash is lower than what it is if you take into account other assets.
Aye my skoda has a touch screen but I rarely use it (2016 model with touch screen and proper buttons, not the horrific current design of xbox style touch buttons) because I have 2 scroll wheels (volume and screen between the rev counter and speedo control), buttons to skip back and forward music, button for voice assistant, and a phone button. Its the best design out there I'm convinced.

I could not / can not be as brave as Andreas.

There would seem to be great uncertainty in how much money
he will make per month.

He does have multiple income streams which is great, but none
of them fixed (I think).

I was a freelance / independent developer for a while, but I worried
far too much about not having work that I wanted to have multiple
projects going at the same time in case one got cancelled / ended.

However, they all kept getting extended, which was good but also bad.

I was working on 3 contracts concurrently.
working from home and working 95% of the day I managed to
to keep then all happy, but it was taking a toll with
stress and no life outside of work.

I was making good money. Yet I was too risk adverse.
Once they had all finished, I ran to a corporate job again.
(which meant turning down several contracts offered)

I think most people on HN are a lot better at handling

There is zero chance this would have been accepted for publication in any serious journal. Alina Chan's paper got stuck in review for nearly 2 years. I think the authors were smart to solicit feedback in public, even if it's messy. It at least forced some engagement.
I get the point but that's also a little like saying Windows is quite simple software because it is simply full of 'if' and 'for' and 'while'.

A modern great CPU or GPU chip is not that simple to design. It is not just an ALU copy pasted thousands of times. Otherwise there would be more competition.
Finally someone who gets it: history rewriting is the killer feature of git. If you don't curate your local commits before pushing, you're not using git properly.

Squashed commits essentially reduce the development workflow/process to the level of previous generation VCS tools (e.g. subversion).
With the numbers on that chart, the relative molar masses of lithium and lithium carbonate, and assuming 160g metallic lithium per kWh, at current exchange rates, I got $132 per kWh.

Which is a surprise, but so is a x15 increase in a raw material cost.
Well it can amplify praise and neuter criticism, of course.
I feel a bit conflicted here. On the one hand I absolutely love having positive interactions with waiters and I will judge my dinner companions on how graciously they treat service staff. Good service can make a great meal even better.

But also sometimes you’re at a busy chain restaurant and you don’t want faff. I still hate QR codes that just open PDFs. I hate the default iOS implementation that doesn’t open a Safari tab by default and so disappears if your phone goes to sleep. But if I can do my whole order (including three indecisive kids) from my phone, and then pay, it’s a lot of pressure off.
Maybe they disable if an airbag is triggered?
Could also be the child lock requires constant current, so that it’s off by default?
I think it's a straw man to say "we couldn't eliminate all API calls, so fat events are useless" - even removing 1 dependency at a time is a win. In my experience, you generally can do this, and that was the approach taken for reliability improvement.

> it’s very difficult to efficiently create event bodies that contain everything that all receivers are going to need.

"everything that all receivers need" seems like another straw man, a "you won't get it perfect so don't try to improve". I've seen it work well enough to be worthwhile.

> From a maintenance perspective, the sender doesn’t know what the receivers depend on

At a glance, no. But it's not imponderable, assuming a limited number of in-house consumers. The absolute statement about it isn't accurate.

> it’s just an assumption that the receiver needs the version of data in the message, rather than the latest version. So I don’t think this is a strong argument for fat events.

I've seen it cause a severe and hard-to-diagnose failure, when system A lags enough, so I think it is a strong argument.

> Maybe I should have said, “I’m on team thin by default.

Sure. I'm on team "fat events" by default because it can solve more issues than it creates. If it turns out that 90% of the event gets ignored, with no issues or http call-backs, then this might be a case for thin events.
Intention and context matters. The goal here is clearly to significantly downsize the operations with the least amount of severance to be paid.

I decided to wade through the comments to see if this article was in fact as not-news to me as it was to someone else.

I'm not trying to be drab on the article, nor people who found it to be something new that they just learned.

I will echo your sentiment and add that lead is also listed legally as a "hazardous substance" here in the US which means that incentivizing it to be recycled is the most economical while also being ecological.
Instead of QR menus, can't restaurants have landing pages after you connect to wifi that let you view the menu and order. For those that want a waiter you can put a big button on the top to request for physical service. For those know what they want, just select the dishes like you do on a food ordering app and the instructions are relayed to the kitchen.

This by no means solves the issues in the article, it might actually expound the privacy related issues and it deepens our reliance on mobile phones. But it does allow the best of both worlds; letting people choose the sort of service they get. The other choice is to have a physical tablet on each table for people to order from (although that sounds very gross).
>I am also under no delusions that RISC-V would be better at this.

RISC-V is already way better at this.

e.g.:

The early boot process (SBI) was standardized years ago, and widely deployed in current hardware.

Late boot process (UEFI on RISC-V) was standarized early this year, ahead of relevant hardware (servers, laptops, workstations).

ISA Profiles standard 2022 is in public review right now, and will likely be effective before the year ends. Hardware where this is relevant (e.g. SoC used in VisionFive2) already released this year is already compliant with the draft.

Future hardware will be widely compliant. Linux distributions and other operating systems target these profiles.

Relative to the utter chaos ARM has when it comes to these important topics, RISC-V is way ahead, being well prepared before the hardware floods the world.
I thought that was already obvious when Google started working on cars ;-)
My rule of thumb is to size and structure commits so that they're worthy of cherry-picking. This is blame-friendly, too.

NIO has a pretty cool battery swap tech which treats batteries like replenished fuel, over the course of the cars lifetime. The battery gets swapped many times depending on the charge levels and location.

https://joinyaa.com/guides/nio-battery-swaps-coming-to-ameri...

I kinda wish Tesla would merge with them in China.

The car companies should standardize their batteries as well and provide market differentiation on how the car makes efficient use of the power. That would eliminate a lot of waste, kinda like the USB-C standard for mobile devices. EU needs to get on this.
It will not.

The industry will simply speed up RISC-V adoption.
Being asked to summarize your recent work is "a living hell"?

Have you ever done manual labor for a living? Or worked a service job? Or taken care of a relative who needs round-the-clock care?

Would you really characterize as "summarize the last few months of coding at my software engineering job" as a living hell as compared to those things?
I do not understand, in what way did it change?

Were they the no.1 share holder before?

Or in the other direction, did they also acquire shares as part of Musk's deal? Or do you mean it would be easier to influence Musk than the previous shareholders? I understand what leverage China has, but how did the Saudis get leverage over Musk?
My side project is a JS canvas library. I don't monitor it: no logs; no tracking; no service uptime stuff. I do check the GitHub repo daily, just in case someone has wandered in and asked a question (3 questions so far in 2022). In a moment of vanity I did set up a discord channel; I check it weekly or so just to make sure nobody's messed up its pristine state with comments and stuff.

What I do monitor is the competition's GitHub repos. Some of them are a lot busier than my library's repo. Sometimes people ask questions like "how do I do X and/or Y with your library" which leads me to think how X and/or Y can be achieved in my library which sometimes leads to me committing code to solve the ask - just for the heck of it. It helps keep me engaged with the project.
It's a misquote. Ellen Ullman writes "computers" in her book.
So he was a right wing extremist who murdered several innocent people. The parent was saying that left wing extremist attacks aren't nearly as prolific.

Not really. The NVIDIA acquisition would be done already.

This is happening way later, with an industry that's already chosen to and taken steps to migrate to RISC-V, and thus is much better prepared to cope.

> That feels unliklely - most of the menus would mostly static web (or worse pdf) interfaces, and an order button.

You say that like it's a given, but why? Products that can dynamically update the menu when something is out of stock with a couple of touches from FOH staff already exist. It's not exactly complex.

> I don't quite see how I could customize any order with a web interface, realistically (food intolerances).

This is harder, but that's why I don't think you can replace all your staff with a web interface - you still need a human in the loop to ask about important things like this.
Steam can actually be waste heat from electricity generation, so mostly free.
I am very surprised the regulations are not more stringent than that. Requiring a manual door release on every door should be the bare minimum.
But we can both accept that the meaning not being clear in the code is bad, right? And the ideal solution would be the code being clearer, not the commit messages being clearer? I just think I’d always put my effort into the code and incentivise that over everything else. I mean, if you have a highly involved Git workflow already, aren’t you doing code reviews and catching this stuff anyway?

In the mental model in my head, Japan is off the coast of China with Taiwan between them and the Philippines is east of Japan.
That's not really code review though, I'd argue. The report was that they wanted their code printed on paper, and to review it. That seems very... specific to the code itself. Not the same as reviewing code coverage, documentation and Ops specific workflows.

Of course, those things are absolutely vital, and must be long and tedious work, and I give you kudos for having these skills :-)
> I don’t need to see your thought process as you get something wrong three times then spend another three commits fighting with the linter all before you present your final thesis. I just need to see what you’ve finally settled on.

I don't think parent is advocating for a commit to stay the same before a merge. You can simply clean up those WIP commits via rebase + fixups and put them in a coherent order and structure (i.e. make them atomic as the article mentions). This and rebase-merge workflows make git history a delight to work with.
No such list that I'm aware of and the US govt would be at the top of the list ;)

Because of inflation and FDIC protection limits, most people don't carry around excess cash. It costs money to hold cash.

Fidelity will let you hold up to 1.25M before getting past FDIC protections. Many don't like their cash to go beyond FDIC protections, so 1M or so cash is around the upper limit people would regularly want to hold.

I don’t understand your logic. Users pay 0.01 ETH for gas fees to perform some action like transfer USDC from A to B. Majority of that fee is burned but some small percentage goes toward a validator for their services. The price of Eth may even depreciate in the days or weeks that follow, leaving the validators with less fiat value than they had when this whole exchange began, and parties A and B are no worse off.

What is negative sum in this example?
> A's state to lag behind it's own events,

Real systems don't have just 2 services. There can be 100s and the "own events" assumption may not hold.
Thank you for your list! Would you be able to share what "T.R.A.F" is as I was unable to find out more by Googling it.
I would imagine this fact is obvious to any Tesla engineers reviewing code. I would imagine they look at more factors than simply lines of code.

From (the) experience(s of many, many people), I've learned that GM makes mechanically terrible cars. Digitizing a handle that doesn't even require a lock tells me that they're simply bad at design and build across many domains. So my misunderstanding is, why does anyone with enough money to finance a new car, ever, buy GM? What do people see in their cars?
I guess there's a little bit of a misunderstanding here.

The maternal womb is also considered an environmental factor, so by the time they are born the offspring has already been affected, greatly, by the environment. And that's precisely one of the major hypotheses of this paper.

Of course, genetics also influences our personalities greatly, but as seen in this paper with genetically identical fish; even in this case there is shown to be individuality. Now, this paper doesn't say anything about how much of one's personality is genetics or how much is influenced by the environment. What it says is that in genetically identical individuals that grow in (pretty much) identical conditions there is already individuality that's present at the time of birth which is possibly mediated by the pre-natal environment.

Here's how it's implemented on the one that's used pretty much everywhere where I live.

Option 1: Everyone orders and pays independently. Website takes payment through all the usual options + Apple/Google pay. So long as the whole table orders within 5 minutes, all the orders come through at once.

Option 2: One person sets up a tab, which generates a QR code. The other guests scan that code instead of the one at the table. People can order their own food/drinks as above until the tab owner closes the tab. If you forget to close the tab it closes itself at the close of business.
I don't think the problem here is that users are running heavier calcs on their cards than nvidia intended - there's been a teardown showing that some of the plugs on those power cables have weak connections
Why? I mean apart from the vast costa of such installations they are really flammable targets.

Imagine a world where oil stops being sold to the Western world - we have enough EV and solar to keep ourselves happy. Say 2040. And then imagine how Saudi and Iranian armed forces will think - those armies have petrol powered tanks and aircraft. And they have oil wells and refineries in their countries borders. If we blow up the refineries then they won't threaten us anymore. Now add in domestic resistance to the regiemes who see the same calculus.

Once the money stops flowing in the oil will be blown up by someone and quickly.
