You spent your whole comment focusing on their self driving claims while ignoring the rest of the company.

If you look at how fast they are updating the internals of the cars, you'd see what I was talking about. Their engineering feedback loop is astounding. Things such as moving towards partial castings -> structural pack -> two piece castings etc. within 1.5 years is breakneck speed.

Simplifying the cooling loop design by using a software defined octovalve to eliminate a complete cooling loop in the system is a result of multiple divisions cross collaborating and integrating fast to try a new methodology. Instead of departments fighting with each other to protect their turf(and the end product ultimately suffering), they are breaking down barriers.

The VW ID4 has numerous complaints about their software and reliability. One example I know is that their battery casing is done by an external supplier and the extra mass hurts them in effective range. This is not the mentality that a fast moving company operates on. You bring up mercedes benz but they had to cancel their EQC EV because after so many delays it could not be competitive anymore so instead of launching it they just canceled it. This is after years of it being touted as a Tesla killer. I saw this car years ago at the NY auto show and after years of waiting it amounted to nothing.

There has always been a limit. Especially with replies.

I recall the XBox support team having to juggle 8 or more different handles to get around that limitation.
Nah, that's too simple an explanation. Someone in China obviously wanted cheap gas, so they had to force the Russians to stop selling to Europe and turn eastward. But it can't be Xi because he was enforcing the lockdown, so must've been someone else. My money's on Jack Ma - rich, powerful, directly interested in getting the economy running at full speed again.
> Telemetry has certainly been misused and will continue to be, but it can also be an invaluable tool for product development.

This perfectly exemplifies the whole problem. Google views Go as a product which Google is responsible for.

Go is a programming language. Go is critical infrastructure. Go is not a product. Viewing it as such is a fundamental misunderstanding of what Go is to its users.

This will practically implement my choice of programming language going forward. My question will no longer be, "is Go the right choice for this?", but rather, "is a Google product the right choice for this?". The answer is often yes to the former question, and no to the latter question.
No, most people simply don't care about some esoteric 'privacy' when giving it up offers them much more comfort and ease of use. It's always been this way, and will always be.
People want answers. Google isn't giving them answers.

If you ask google a question then an awful lot of the time the majority of top 10 results will be promoting or selling stuff.
My advice: Buy basic notebook, buy basic pen, and just start. It's easier to do that on paper - it removes all the digital distractions. Start with an intention to write something every day, no matter how long, with the ultimate goal to write at least one page daily. Use ChatGPT for ideas to write about if you can't find anything yourself ("Give me 3 concrete ideas to write about in my journal").
And those trackpads! I was skeptical until I held mine and got to use them - they're a real joy to use.

One funny consequence is: refactor code only well covered by tests, decrease nb of lines of code => test coverage decreases. This is normal and test coverage is not itself a target, but that's funny.

SOCOM does actually get a brief mention, but in a way that makes the whole story even less plausible. At the beginning, Hersh claims that the divers used were chosen because they were just "Navy only" and not part of SOCOM, which is allegedly a legal loophole to avoid having to report the activity to the Gang of Eight in Congress, apparently done because of concerns about leaks.

Setting aside how legally questionable that premise sounds, especially because the entire rest of the article is full of references to the involvement of clandestine organizations beyond "Navy only", Hersh then goes on to describe an operation apparently involving an absolute clown car full of a bunch of other people including 3 foreign countries, at least some people running a major NATO exercise, and what sounds like half the Norwegian Navy. Operations so secret you can't tell 8 Congressional leaders (as required by law) but you can tell Norway, Denmark, and Sweden about do not sound like a thing.

A while back I priced out what Algolia would cost us and it ended up being thousands of dollars per month for something that was currently running a t3.micro Elasticsearch instance. Our usage was just worst-case when it came to their pricing dimensions: A large number of very small documents with a low search volume.
Have the feeling that we are in a state of overreacting (news outlets love the headlines).

In addition, my gut feeling says that Google does things better than Microsoft.

This comes from my experience with working with Google and GCP products vs working with Microsoft Office/Windows and Azure.

With Google, everything feels consistent, well documented and well presented: from Meet/Gmail to BigQuery, Tensorflow, Cloud SQL, Firebase, etc.

With Microsoft I frequently observe inconsistencies in design patterns, broken links and outdated documentation. Just compare for example Office products, the concept of Office 365, Live Account vs Outlook account, Windows, Bing, Azure products, etc. Basically its hard to find any commonality and it feels that there is generally a lack of vision for the entire suit.

I therefore extrapolate that Google will answer this hype in a more structured way, anchored to a vision, putting it against a grand scheme of things and deliver it as a seemingly integrated solution to the suite.

> If Putin wanted to shut down Nordstream, he'd just stop sending gas.

Indeed, Nordstream hadn't been running gas for about a month at the time of the explosions. (Indeed, Nordstream 2 also never ran gas). That is critically useful information for assessing who had motive to blow up the pipeline, yet everyone speculating on the matter seems to assume that it was being used at the time of explosion.
Perhaps the "rare mushrooms" should be left alone. Perhaps they would become less rare.

That's a pretty strong false dichotomy. The government is in charge of a lot of things, they must do multiple things at once. Passing unrelated laws and passing laws relating to climate change are orthogonal.

If we vote to, say, ban the sale of new internal combustion automobiles, sure, it restricts future generations. But it also restricts the voting body, today, by restricting their ability to purchase new cars. The voters are weighing the necessity of fighting climate change against the restriction of their freedom to purchase an automobile. Perfectly fair. If we instead are voting on "lets ban the sale of automobiles to anyone born after 2000" or "lets ban the sale of automobiles starting in 2123", then the people voting on it are not, and never will be effected by the restriction that they voted to put in place. THAT is unjust.
Is it completely normal on HN to comment on articles you haven't read and to freely admit so?
Me either. It’s to convince you’re a great intellect. That or to record a historical archive.
I know a few people who make their living selling arts & crafts. They all sell online, of course, but all of them report that they get the most sales in person. Fairs and festivals, saturday markets, that sort of thing. It's not as easy as just running an Etsy store, but it is more lucrative.

And for all of them, the bulk of their sales go to people who have purchased from them before, or who were referred by people who have purchased from them before.

And yes, all of them charge prices much higher than what you would have thought if you weren't familiar with the industry.

> The more possible configurations there are, the greater the entropy. And this explains the second law: given a set of measurement values, the more states there are which produce those values, the more likely we are, all else being equal, to observe those values. And so a closed system will evolve by pure chance into a state where the entropy is maximized simply because you are more likely to observe values corresponding to greater numbers of underlying states.

This is an argument for observing high entropy macrostates at any time, assuming all microstates are equally probable. But not for evolution in time that makes entropy higher in the future, or at least non-smaller in the future. You assume the closed system evolves its microstate in time "by pure chance", i.e. any microstate is equally probable as the next microstate, which ignores many constraints there are due to physics laws like conservation of phase volume or energy. This probabilistic argument could be applied to past just as well as the future. But observations show entropy of an isolated system is lower in the past than in the present. So your argument does not really derive all aspects of 2nd law.
It honestly gave me goosebumps. Think of productivity increase per person for many analyst roles, and the potential layoffs :/

Which programming languages are the closest to 'finished'?
C# support should be pretty good. You've got options. You can use the Mono ecosystem, including the MonoDevelop IDE, Mono runtime, and libraries like GtkSharp; these have been around for a while and some Linux desktop apps use it. You can also use the official Dotnet SDK and runtime, which lacks some stuff that Mono has for compatibility (like Winforms) but should have a good developer experience in either VSCode or Jetbrains Rider, and supports the latest .NET and C# features.

I don't know much about F#, but it seems F# isn't far behind. There's a useful page about getting started and other than the omission of Mono it is similarly supported.

It might help to make a diagram for them using load testing and spoofing tools. Then attack a stand-alone version of your company code and show the differences before and after.

For what it's worth, I have always set synack retries to 0 on my web, smtp and dns servers. I leave it up to the client applications to retry. This is just my hobby crud but I agree 5 is a risky default that can amplify attacks. I have never run into problems setting it to 0 but I do not have the most all-inclusive set of applications to test. Most companies put their applications behind a load balancer that has some SYN protection enabled by default and that is probably why it's less of an issue.

As a side note I have also found that some of the syn-spoofing-flooding tools lack some TCP options that are very easy to filter within iptables modules such as missing or odd values for MSS in syn packets, odd tcp syn lengths, etc... One example from my raw table:

-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --syn -m tcpmss ! --mss 1220:1460 -j DROP

Most home connections will be 1460. Some Cisco VPN's are 1454 or 1424. Cell phones using ipv6ipv4 gateways are sometimes 1280 or 1380. There are other less common variations such as people using jumbo frames ranging anywhere from 9036 to obscenely high numbers. The most common scanning tool "masscan" does not even set MSS at all. Same for hping3 and a few other tools.

Another obscure one in the raw table I use when I do not need or expect cell phones to hit a port and this happens because most cell phones enable TCP timestamps which usually bumps their TCP SYN length to 60. Why cell phones? Modern bot farms seem to be using many old cell phones to launch their attacks and I have no idea why.

-A PREROUTING -i eth0 -p tcp -m tcp --dport 1:442 --syn -m length --length 58: -j DROP

As a more obscure note, there was a time I increased syn/synack retries beyond the default and that is when we used NFS Diskless in our production datacenters. But that's a much longer story and a much older kernel.
Spying on people without their consent is not ethical.

> this isn't some new feature. If the government orders you assets frozen/seized, then a bank is going to comply with the order

You aren't seriously trying to imply that it would be feasible for a government to decide to seize 5% of everyone's bank accounts at present? Being able to do something in a targeted manner and being able to do that same thing to the entire population at once with ease are not at all the same.

This is actually where a lot of people's perceptions about government tyranny seem to break down somewhat inexplicably. Guns? The police can show up right now and outnumber you so it makes no difference if they're outlawed. Restrictions on movement? The government can already blockade roads if they want to so it makes no difference if checkpoints are allowed to be constructed. Mass surveillance? The government can already wiretap you without your knowledge so it doesn't matter if that process is allowed to be automated.

All of those positions are very obviously false and yet a significant portion of the population seems to struggle with the common underlying concept. Enabling a behavior en masse with little to no friction is not at all the same as something targeted that requires noticeable resource expenditure to carry it out in each individual instance.
> All the actual design work happened in the C# world, and our job was just to tag along and mimic whatever they had come up with.

What's the unique guiding philosophy or use case of VB that would justify developing bleeding edge new language features in VB first? Maybe I am just being overly critical here but I just don't see how the use cases which VB accommodates would benefit from getting new features before C# gets them, and the divergence would create unnecessary pain across the whole ecosystem

If telemetry is on by default, the vendor obviously wants you to have telemetry on. They are incentivized to make switching it off as difficult as possible, and even pull tricks like turning it back on after a delay of 7 or 30 days or so.
