> If apple.eth is held by a squatter, should courts be able to override the protocol to send it to trademark holder Apple? In the end this can get resolved by regular dispute mechanisms but without compromising decentralization and integrity of the protocol.

How exactly do you think this works? With DNS, there's a trusted third party who can help recover from errors — if you lose access, you might have to prove your identity but it's not a hard process. If someone squats your domain or steals it when they compromise your computer, the registrar can sort it out or will respond to a court order.

With ENS, the answer is you're screwed if you lose the key or whoever has it currently isn't responsive. Maybe you can track them down and get a legal action strong enough that they honor it but that's a lot more work and has a lot more failure modes which look like the apple.eth service having to move to apple computers.eth because the system is designed to fail hard. Very few people are going to want to build on something like that because it means that even a trillion-dollar corporation is one phish away from a massive disaster.

Yes, I went to a Montessori school through 6th grade (now 25 years old). I have mixed feelings about the experience.

I agree that it did well to set my up academically. I ended up going to middle/high schools that were relatively average academically, so I was pretty strong in all subjects in comparison to my peers. Ultimately I went to a very prestigious college and now work in a wonderful finance job I love. However in the many years of therapy I’ve had as an adult, I continue to identify Montessori school as a foundational contributor to my social anxiety, and ultimately my ensuing clinical depression over a lack of social life which haunted most of my college years.

My Montessori school had about 15-25 kids / class year. Some of the larger years were split into two groups with separate teachers. Every year, maybe one or two kids left to go to other schools and one or two new kids joined, but for the most part I grew up with the same core set of children for seven years. I honestly believe this had a permanent negative effect on my ability to socialize and form new friendships that I am only barely beginning to correct over a decade later. Admittedly I did not participate in any extracurricular outside of Montessori school (particularly because it had its own after-school programs). So when I transitioned to a public school for middle/high school, it was a sharp culture shock and I definitely struggled to fit in.

I think Montessori schools are worthwhile academically, but you should be careful to keep your children in contact with other kids outside the Montessori bubble.
OK, and then he proceeded to turn that fledgling entity into a massive industry-launching company. This is enough to be considered a business genius.

Even if Tesla fails, which seems unlikely given their pile of cash and very popular cars, he has already succeeded in his stated goal of getting the switch to electric cars started.

> BusinessAbstractFactoryIBuilder

While I understand and agree with this meme[1], I think that's the other extreme, where everything is a Factory Builder thing.

Even so, I would rather too much information than too little, which is what FP programs tend to do. Over-abstraction is also a problem, in my view. Even in a LINQ lambda, for instance, I might write

someEnumerable.Select(what_is_actually_inside => doSomething(what_is_actually_inside))

rather than

someEnumerable.Select(x => doSomething(x))

This is awesome advice!

And it turns out the library is less than a mile away from me. How cool!

I have almost a thousand epubs mirrored on my NAS (and backed up elsewhere). The device I read them on changes periodically, but the actual ebooks don’t wear out, are easy to transport, and get much more use than my physical library. I still love paper books and would never part with mine, but they are more like mementos or even artwork to me now.

My paper books are heavy, get dusty, almost died in a flood once, can tear or be stained, are a fire risk, and would be very difficult to replace if anything happened to them.

Digital preservation has its challenges, too, but acting as steward for epubs has been much easier than for paper books (for me, anyway).

> “Logical time” actually matters when you have side-effects

"Time" doesn't matter; causality/dependency is what matters. That is modelled quite well by passing around values. For example:

let hostname = lookup("hostname")
username = lookup("username")
password = lookup("password")
connection = connect(hostname, username, password)
in query(connection, "SELECT foo FROM myTable")

The 'query' call depends on the result of the 'connect' call, so it must "happen afterwards". The 'connect' call depends on the result of the three 'lookup' calls, so it must "happen afterwards". The 'lookup' calls don't depend on each other, so they're concurrent (note that concurrent does not necessarily imply parallel).

This form of data dependency is no different than, say, arithmetic: to calculate '3 × (2 + 4)', the multiplication depends on the result of the addition, so it must "happen afterwards". (The imperative equivalent would be 'push 2; push 4; +; push 3; ×;')

> Worth noting Haskell ended up reinventing the statement/expression distincion in the do-notation

Yes, do-notation "desugars" into plugging return values into arguments, like above. This gets a little tedious for things like 'IO', where we pass around a unit/null value to represent "the real world".

Still, a nice lesson from Haskell is that there's value in making things opt-in; e.g. many languages have Maybe/Option, but it's less useful in languages which allow 'null' anywhere; many languages have IO/Effect/Task/etc. but it's less useful in languages which allow I/O anywhere; etc.
To Lock or Not to Lock?
Thanks for the much-more-useful explanation here. I thought the question was a complaint about verbing a name, not being unfamiliar.
Please don't mix the two things. There are a lot of abstractions in Haskell (monads, monoids, ...) but those are 100% orthogonal to pure functional programming. You can do the latter without any of those abstractions even existing in the language.

And if you want to see an example for a language that is not like that, look at Scala and ZIO (www.zio.dev). It is a library for pure functional programming, but look at the examples - those abstractions you mention are not there. The library really aims at making concurrent/async programming easier by leveraging pure functional programming but without crazy category theory stuff.
The OP talks about the size in kilobytes, not bytes. That will almost certainly give false positives, but if you limit the time range, it may not be that bad.

Not a bad idea for initial filtering, I think, but I doubt it would hold up in court on itself.
I think it depends on your tolerance for ads. I hate ads so much I end up closing browser tabs or switching off whatever appliance they're on. My hate for ads is much greater than the love for the content they are attached to.
It's an incredibly high bar but this may be one of the most foolish comments I've ever read. I'm not even going to bother have a good life dude.
No radio transmission that is above 30 MHz or so is really "high range". The modulation doesn't matter. The only thing that matters for range in non-ionospheric bouncing radio transmissions is the height above surrounding terrain of both ends of the link.

SMS works because the cell phone companies pay the big bucks to their base stations up very high above surrounding terrain.

There are transient exceptions like atmospheric gradients in water vapor density creating brief tropospheric ducts which VHF radio can bounce down but these are unreliable. And tropospheric scattering propagation requires very high powers and high gain antennas at both ends so it's not really feasible for people operating under FCC part 15 or even ham radio power restrictions (ie, <1500 watts).
Yes, absolutely. I have two kids under five at the moment, so the long hours in office requirement might not currently work. But I'd consider taking an engineering IC role in future. Elon is a wartime CEO. Tim Cook is probably the best peacetime CEO active. Working for either would be an extremely interesting experience.
Because we haven't released the server yet, the open source client currently only really supports git right now, so sl init --git is the only way to init a local repo for now. Perhaps we could make that message clearer.

I'll take a look at the help later to see what we're missing here.
For issues with drivetrain etc -- absolutely. But it seems that a lot of the problems center around fit and finish of the body of the vehicle, trim, accessories etc -- stuff the industry has decades of experience with. It really sounds like quality was sacrificed for efficiency there.
> smtpd has been removed according to the schedule in PEP 594

Damn! I guess it's time to cross out my snippet of running a debug smtp server in almost any Linux distro & Mac:

python -m smtpd -n -c DebuggingServer localhost:25

> Remove the distutils package. It was deprecated in Python 3.10 by PEP 632

So apparently we need to replace

from distutils.version import StrictVersion

with

from pkg_resources import parse_version

A bit labor for my code but OK.

Nix has every maintained python version, so does Arch User Repository, and those can definitely be in parallel.
In my opinion the only way to delete a chat message from any of the corporate messaging platforms would be to have root on all of their databases, message queues, backup management systems, cloud storage accounts and vaulting appliances. One would also have to scrub all the debug/developer logs, log aggregation systems like Logstash and Splunk, etc... And of course root on all the big-data, machine learning, AI platforms and their backups. One would also have to prove that private messages were not relayed to third parties for machine learning. When a person deletes a message it is just flagged in the storage system as deleted.

Discord for example has every single public and private message ever sent since day one. Not a single message has been lost. They are all stored in Cassandra. And this does not even touch on the facets of speech-to-text transcription that is retained forever.

I probably sound like a defeatist but my point is that if one is not running their own self hosted platform then the corporation have unlimited means of preserving sensitive data. Even self hosted has limitations, in that anyone you direct message can copy the contents and republish.
That’s demonstrably false. Each EV is an immediate ~13k kg hit on CO2. Average ICE passenger car is .4 kg CO2 per mile. Even if you have a source of zero carbon energy to power the EV, that’s 32500 miles of driving an ICE before you break even on CO2.
That makes sense, but I can't imagine that brake wear in particular moves the needle very much. I typically just change the brake pads every 60,000 miles or so and that's like a $50 expense if you buy the nice pads and new hardware set for my car. Of course, I don't drive some exotic car with carbon ceramic stuff that costs $8K to replace (my car seems to stop well enough regardless).
>What's really surprising about the Ford Maverick rated so highly is not really that it's a brand new vehicle from Ford, but that it was engineered to be the least expensive truck possible.

Ford kicked off the Maverick project with the goal of low sticker price AND the expectation of low sales volume.

To cut the sticker price they reused a bunch of proven tech from the Focus/Escape/Transit Connect parts bin rather than the half baked New Hotness(TM). In order to recoup engineering costs despite low volume they were forced there was little room in the engineering man-hours budget for the automotive equivalent of "trendy JS framework of the month to the detriment of everything he works on" and other "pad my resume and/or hit my KPIs to the detriment of the product" behavior that plagues BigCo engineering projects.

Basically they were forced to attack it like they were building an Escape (an already reliable and well liked vehicle) with a bed and facelift, not a new vehicle and that path offers a lot less opportunity to build bloated trash than the "develop a new vehicle" path does.
How about cost and availability.

I admittedly don't know much about Jobs, but I believe he was known to be temperamental. Was he so quick to change his vision and goals? I find this Job's quote pretty stark in contrast to how Elon has been dealing with Twitter:

"It doesn't make sense to hire smart people and tell them what to do. We hire smart people so they can tell us what to do."

Though I don't know if he lived up to those words or not.
I haven't had a spare tire in my last 6 cars going back 16 years. Manufacturers cut the cost and no longer supply them. 3 of those cars have been EVs, 3 have been ICE.
I've had a few minor unplanned maintenance issues on a Tesla. Maybe slightly more than my gas cars now that I think about it, but not often enough that I'm thinking about it. Each one was handled at my house so it never really struck me as a significant inconvenience. In one case, they were the ones who showed up to replace a battery before I even knew there was an issue.

Overall, planned maintenance is significantly less on my Tesla than on my gas cars. It's a pretty easy car to own and drive. As others have pointed out, build quality isn't the greatest - at least not commensurate with the price. Now that other options are available, I think it's pretty hard to recommend Tesla, but I wouldn't call it a bad car. It's better than most out there despite its flaws.

Without a doubt, EV is better than gas in most situations. They are just easier, drive better, lower cost to operate, etc. I'm not buying what this article is selling.

Musk Got $55B Pay Deal to Ensure His ‘Tenacity’ for Tesla, Chair Says
What Elon is doing right now with twitter is two-fold:

1) Getting rid of employees who are not a fit for a high-pressure, performance focused, environment, either by firing them directly or them voluntarily resigning due to stricter working conditions.

2) Iterating on the product to increase revenues.

1) results in massive cost savings and 2) increased revenues (with time).

This very much needed since twitter has been a commercial disaster for many years and is heading towards bankruptcy without drastic changes.
It's interesting that Tesla, one of the newest automakers, has far more issues than the EVs made by the established players. So it may be less that the Model S is only 10 years old and more that Tesla itself is relativley young and inexperienced.
I work at one of those "big corporations" and we buy our scam domain takedowns from a firm that specialises in that. It costs us €200 per domain.
This is absolutely not a "true scotsman" argument. I am talking about very distinct classifications of languages, with wildly divergent feature sets, runtimes, libraries, and communities. The differences are real and objective.

This is just a special case of the more general principle, "Don't write X in Y". Don't write BASIC in C. Don't write C in Python. Don't write FP in imperative. Don't write imperative in FP. Don't think you've solved whatever problems you have with Y when you're forced to use it by writing X in Y. Writing X in Y inevitably leads to the worst of both worlds, not the best.
I'm going to split hairs here, but i disagree that it is only for specialized purposes. I honestly believe that it is good for general purpose, but simply smaller scale. So, yes, agreed with your note on it being smaller scale. But i do believe that it can successfully be used for many, many scenarios fit for a CRM. I stick to my opinion that anyone thinking that they need functionality of a CRM should begin with a smaller scale tool like Monica, and then over time see if an "upgrade" to a larger-scale CRM is appropriate. Just my opinion of course. :-)
It's often a good idea to check for weird characters in a text file. Something like this:

Windows is free. I refuse to believe you actually pay or have paid for it before. Mac is free sure, only with the purchase of a $100000k MacBook.
Yes. Speaking from experience:

1. You're typically working on small teams with some wickedly smart people around you. Very, very few dummies or under performers at his companies. Definitely a community feel where you know everyone in the spheres around you. Also, everyone wants to help you, and so you tend to respond in the same way back to others.

2. You get to question everything, and the first answer is often not the right answer but you have to actually use your brain to get to the right answer. No inactive listening, even when you're getting feedback or asks from execs.

3. You know what the North Star is, and you're laser focused on it. If what you're working on doesn't build toward that mission, you're encouraged to speak up and question it, no matter where you are in the company. There are generally no rules for who you can and can't talk to.

4. He pays the most attention when things aren't going so well. If you and your team keep a tight ship, keep up with the (fun) timelines, communicate out well, and grow and learn appropriately, things will tend to go smoothly. Not always true, but it tends to be.

The Twitter situation totally sucks, and I empathize with everyone impacted, but I think Elon is working to bring the style that is proven to work for SpaceX and Tesla over to Twitter. There are definitely growing pains to switch to this model.

If you believe in the stated missions of each company, and think your work will do a net good for yourself and others, then it's a no brainer to want to work there.
I think the Aussie system is flawed because of the party preferences thing - but that's more because the average voter just wants to tick a box for their party and be done with it. I'm not sure that the perfect system would actually be practical.

A coincidence in your imagination, perhaps, but public dislike of Musk has been widespread for a very long time, and his newfound disdain for the political party that would like to raise his taxes is hardly surprising.

That you have only noticed the anti-Musk sentiment very recently says more about you than his critics.
> ... they have their own weird language, there's a hierarchy, and people on the inside operate under a constant threat of ostracism.

Aside: A good rule of thumb for when you should start getting out of something is when the group comes up with a cute little name for those outside the group, typically ending in 'ie'. Normies, heggies, fundies, libtards, etc. It starts out innocent enough, but when those artificial divisions spring up, that's when the brains start shutting off and people start preaching to the choir.
> Much of what see in public is the agitators being angry.

In this case it would appear that is also the CEO, which is flabbergasting to me.
The Tesla infotainment system pre-2018/MCU2 is pretty laggy. The software also writes too much to the eMMC and bricks the MCU after a few years in the original design. And without Android Auto / Apple Carplay, you can't bypass it by plugging in your phone either, which is still a problem now.
The underlying logic of someone who made and gave away billions being overall ahead of other people morally is sound, IMHO

I'm not sure what to do with this. It is, obviously, not sound. There are a variety of ways in which such a person could be less moral than the pitifully ineffective non-billionaires. I'm not kidding when I say that we worked a lot of these problems out in the 16th century.
Exactly, that's the beauty of it. You get to choose them.
> Why have we as consumers become to addicted and depended on brands? Are these companies exploiting something innate in us? A need that needs to be fulfilled?

This can't possibly need explanation? People want/need pacifiers. Cigarettes. Coffee. Alcohol. Twitter. Music. Movies. Taylor Swift. Youtube influencers. TikTok. All of these things are exactly the same.

At a certain scale you can capitalize on this and steer the narrative. You create fear of missing out. You create pop stars. You create addicting doom scroll behaviors in apps.

I have very old memories (6? or earlier) for attending for a approximately a year. It might have been Waldorf, it might have been Montessori.

There were several young people who I later transferred in HS back into their district and remembered.

Lots of little learning puzzles and nap time. LOTS Of stories. In fact I would say the curriculum, and this is a long time ago, was primarily fables besides what was self-directed and puzzles. The teachers were mostly kind.
Silly question but what else are we going to do?

Once you make well more than you need for pure survival, buying and consuming is the next step? Consuming is entertainment.

I don’t work my job to survive, I work it for the fancy toys. I could survive on a fraction of the hours I’m working, but then I would have a lot more hours I’d need to fill, desirably with some sort of consumption.
