I think there's a lot of sunk cost in those comments, along with a lot of frustrated ideology. For people who thought they had finally gotten a way to bring their ideology into the real world, or imagined all sorts of riches, the state of crypto and the burgeoning regulatory environment may be too much to emotionally process and accept.

As for why there isn't much in the way of thorough rebuttals, I suspect anyone trying to formulate one would pretty rapidly run into the wall of reality not agreeing with their existing stance.
So, it’s stable as long as you understand it is unstable, and helps people without access to banking but with a stable, constant internet connection and perfect operational security, access none of the benefits of having a bank account.

Oh, and it’s actually neither of those but if you wish _reaaaaly_ hard and ignore all the practical problems, it might be, someday.

The parent poster (me), isn't arguing that in all cases its better to feel hungry all the time than to be fat.

The parent poster is arguing that for some individuals, the experience of being hungry would be preferable to the experience of being obese. Would you disagree with that?

For some overweight and obese people, there are costs like sleep quality / apnea that CPAP might not solve (leading to all sorts of health issues), there can be sexual dysfunction (erection quality, difficulty even accessing the genitals or having sex in many positions), there can be shame and embarrassment (regardless of if you think society SHOULDN'T have that shame, the reality is many overweight or obese people feel it, and avoid certain settings and activities because of it), there is just the raw feeling of physical tiredness, back pain, knee pain, etc. that can come along with the physical stresses it puts on your body, I could really go on.

For some people, those things ARE worse than feeling hungry most or all of the time. For some people, they CAN tolerate a mild or moderate feeling of hunger by distracting themselves or avoiding dwelling on the feeling, and they might find the other parts of their lives improve enough that it's worth it.
It has been said before and it can be said again. The fundamental problem is that agricultural users own much of the water.

Urban areas, faced with the choice between purchasing those rights to increase their allocation, or spending on increasing urban efficiency, have largely chosen the latter because it is cheaper.
The increasing volatility of fiat is making this less of a problem.
That's my list exactly. What a trip down 40 years of programming!

* 6502 in my Vic20 and Apple ][, as a teenager (both computers' manuals had complete circuit schematics)

* Z80 assembly during my Elec Eng degree

* 8051 assembly for embedded systems I built for some consulting clients during my PhD

* DSPs including DSP32C (1992) and TMS320Cxx, considered for radar processing during my PhD (though by that stage, the 486 turned out to be good enough!)

* x86 for everything else. Especially once PCs came with the x87 floating point processors (for 386, before the 486 integrated the FPU into the CPU).
Yes, you have to think when you use tools that you aren't familiar with.

How is this a legitimate complaint? Your brain is not yet wired to handle the additional functionality, but you blame the functionality for that, and not your brain?!

I had a high up at Microsoft try to get me in trouble with my boss because I tried (appropriately) raising concerns that Azure was an near-impossible to target platform for OSS cloud software due to basic missing features. I had another thread with a higher up, with Russinovich on it, in which the principal manager lied repeatedly over, and over, and over about the entire shape of the VMSS API. They shipped anyway and have spent years adapting that API in the exact way I pointed out, and of course now have to support both. I had a team ask me not to ship a feature for (open source software you've all undoubtedly heard of) because they wanted me to use their Azure-proprietary flavor instead. I'm pretty sure that feature never even shipped because that team had designed it so poorly that it wasn't even suitable for tiny deployments.

Microsoft is excellent as using young, passionate folks, especially ones that don't have experience in advocating for themselves, and pretty terrible at promoting or rewarding individual contributors doing their best to push things forward. Oh and my total comp was garbage. I joined a startup and got a 40% bump without even asking.

What's the argument for outsourcing workplace safety to individual lawyers? Bumping the max fine up by 10x or 20x would still leave room for excess liability while simultaneously guaranteeing actual repercussions for negligent companies. In the current setup, if the estate decides not to pursue a lawsuit since it's a horrible process that will take several years, the company basically gets off free?

There are a couple of other options, although I'll agree that none of them are ideal:

1) You can set up Github Actions to automatically close pull requests: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/close-pull-request

2) You can use "interaction limits" (in repository settings, under "moderation options") to limit repository interactions to collaborators. This can only be set for 6 months at a time, though, so you'll need to reactivate it periodically.

3) You can archive the project and unarchive it temporarily when making changes, disabling all activity on the fork.
I mean, that's just a bit petty... Nothing to see here gents.

> Employee experience and productivity should be equally important in these discussions as cost and security. And if you are making a decision about available tools on behalf of others, you need to spend time to understand the needs of the people you are deciding on behalf of, if you want to make a good decision.

I work in a larger company where only 20% is development. We are thrown in with the 'rest' of the people, and as such have insane restriction on tools, both online and on our computers.

The problem is that our voice is not large enough to get to the CTO.
Depends on the particular bus line. Yes, they can be unpleasant.

However, you do gain a whole lot living in a quiet area compared to living in the middle of the shitshow, and it's not close to comparable.
> it's pretty common for a spark to jump the gap of the leads while you're plugging it in

If you’re referring to seeing a spark while plugging something in, that’s just current jumping from the socket to the pin that’s entering it - it’s nowhere near possible for current to jump between the pins on a single plug (in air, at least). The distance between pins was specifically designed to prevent that possibility at the given voltages.

Not saying our plugs aren’t poorly designed, just that that’s not one of their problems.

Nope, didn't forget it. The numbers I gave for disposable income are after taxes and median rent. So those have already been factored in and $111k vs. $59k is what you get.

Another way to put it is that in SF you make more money, after taxes and rent, than a dev in Tampa makes gross. $111k disposable income vs. $106k Tampa pre-tax

Well, might want to look those up before you continue down this line of thought.
The structure of the election process itself, is what determines whether it is a plausible conspiracy or probably impossible.

In an election where each vote is counted by hand, it's indeed quite hard and implausible for the government to conspire to rig it.

If, however, the government presented you with a process which had very few points of failure - a single person counting tens of thousands of votes using machines, or mail ballots where all the workers never needed to see the voter, and rely on government supplied information to validate the person exists - these do not require huge conspiracy but only a select few.

It is indeed bordering on conspiracy theory, and the border is exactly on proper process.

Another way to "measure" the security of an election process, is instead of looking at votes gap, look at how many people are needed to conspire to change the results. If your answer is very few, for example, a hacker with access to voting machine, the worker which counted thousands of votes, or the voting machine manufacturer, or the dude with the mail ballots database, it is a possible conspiracy, because it is possible that very few people aren't honest.

A properly designed election process really does require an implausible conspiracy to rig.

An improperly designed election, is almost like a backdoor, and the conspiracy theory defense no longer works.

By the way, there's another side to the coin: in a properly designed election, fraud claims simply do not happen, because it would take hundreds of individual and independent claims of fraud, to be able to claim that the results should be different.

Because the most simple solution, hand counting, works, if the government fails to give you proper verification, it is already the government's fault.

This is also the explanation that should be given in any functioning democracy. You shouldn't need PR campaign or media to establish trust in elections. Well designed democratic elections, by design, the losing side as a verifier can tell they were fair by the protocol itself. The losing side can try to see how many parts of the process they don't trust, and almost always in normally decentralized election, they could discount those parts and the results would barely change.

If your government fails this verification, skips the rational explanation and instead gives you cliche media campaign, and uses an inherently bad process, that's the part where you should already stop and distrust it.

At that point, the government already broke through all the security boundaries of the election process, and it's impossible to know that they didn't exploit it.
I am an EV user. My connection is not Tesla compatible. I wish the government would prod manufacturers to create a common connection for all EVs the same way there is a common gas intake for all gas powered vehicles.

It looks like there's a lot of correlation between the location of the school and the amount of VC funding associated with the location. Yes, it leans heavily towards elite schools but especially towards elite schools in (or in the orbit of) Silicon Valley, Boston/Cambridge, and NYC. (Schools like Yale, Princeton, and Cornell are obviously not in NYC but I'd consider them most associated with it.)

I work on Copilot now, and I can say this guy is totally full of himself.

Thanks for the reality check, and Occam's Razor suggests this is (unfortunately) the most likely explanation for what we're reading.

Sure, employees get taken advantage of, and screwed over by politics all the time. But something about going online and openly (and quit caustically) negging your employer while still on their payroll suggests that there's something seriously off about this guy.

And that in any case, his synopsis of the situation is not to be taken at face value.

Edit: Actually we don't have information about his current status with them. My mistake. Thanks to the commenter below for pointing that out.
One fact that's not widely appreciated: Tesla is very efficient, and this efficiency is starting to have macro effects such as this. They've been building out their network diligently for over a decade, they have the permitting, assembly, uptime, everything dailed in. Every single dollar of capex they put in the network will get them more connectors and more sites in less time than if EA or any other company will get for that same dollar.

They might also be the only major manufacturer outside of China that can build EVs profitably at scale. 5 years ago the Model 3 had no competitors and today they have plenty, when looking at the spec sheets. But no one has been able to ship the sheer numbers of EVs Tesla has, because they either physically can't or won't do it because can't make money (it's hard to say as legacy autos don't break out their EV divisions)

The Model 3 now costs $40,240, which is $33,400 in 2018 dollars after inflation. That is, they are making comfortable margins on the $35K base model they aspired to when they started selling the model.
Is there any reason to buy a non-Tesla EV before 2025?
Or he's a jerk. I don't know either way but there do seem to be at least two possibilities. A third is he's a jerk in real life and people are envious of some of his accomplishments. Hard to say, so I try to reserve judgement.
This comes up again and again, and I think absolutely there is space in the world for a site that takes people through some of the basics,and then iteratively deepens. I'd be happy to provide supplementary/complementary material where appropriate.

Part of the problem is that people don't know what they want. Another part of the problem is that people ask about really advanced things that they are not ready for, and where they don't have time to dedicate to learning the basics.

So you have a challenge with what to include, how to arrange it, how to get people hooked,and how to get them to put in the sustained effort needed to gain a genuine understanding, rather than a superficial "I know what's going on."

For your own interest ... what would you start with?

People seem to like the idea of studying (or more accurately, to have studied) Linear Algebra, and perhaps Graph Theory.

I wonder what else ...

// standing in the corner at a social event where everyone else is having a good time

I used to be like that, and I would judge the people I was disconnected from like they are dumb for having a good time. Eventually I figured out, I was the standoffish jerk - and forced myself to learn how to go say hi and be more part of the group (although I am still not amazing at it, I realize that if I am disconnected in the corner, it's because of what I have chosen to do/not do)
When Tesla sells someone a car for $50k, what do you think is the value of the data on how often they charge it? $20? Surely it can never be a significant revenue stream.
What’s the risk in doing your job inside a large corporation?
Most people don't drive 500km per day, the average is closer to 50 or so. So on average, you could easily top of your battery pack on 240V/10A circuit. That would be around 10kWh, which you'll do in 5 hours. Double the average and you'll still be topped up next morning.

Because the rest of your comment kinda boils down to "it means whatever you want it to mean" which renders it effectively meaningless.
I'm sure it was a combination of not wanting to spend money and customers feeling the new pumps with vapor recovery systems were too difficult to operate and so sought out stations that hadn't yet upgraded.

Probably a few reasons:

1. Number of rear end and front end collisions and how expensive it would be to repair charge ports.

2. It would be ugly, people complain about the radar placement on some cars, imagine every car having both a radar and charge port right in the middle.
I'm a "tankie" and my MO is to point out the millions lifted out of poverty in communist China and the fact that the Chinese are apparently a lot happier with their government than Americans are with theirs. China is the workshop of the world and meanwhile much of the American heartland is a fentanyl-addicted hellscape with totally neglected physical and institutional infrastructure. That's pretty much all you have to do: material circumstances trump all and any communist understands this.

Of course China does spook shit. What are they supposed to do: refuse to do intelligence out of some misguided sense of morality so the CIA has free rein to do whatever they want, wherever they want, whenever they want? You might as well just assert that China's bad because they refuse to get owned by US intelligence - it's an equivalent sentiment.

Oh thanks for reminding me of SOME, I might try participating for sure. The reason I asked B) is because I need a starting point since there's so much I could talk about, so e.g. "limits always confused me", "integrals never truly clicked", "the idea of derivatives and really the whole of calculus went by too quickly", or "polynomials and their properties are still a mystery" would be the sorts of starting points I'm looking for.
Not only does gasoline contain toxic components, it's also incredibly flammable. While using gasoline as a degreaser was a common practice, it's a pretty dangerous habit. Not to mention back when leaded gasoline was a thing, it left a shimmering effect on your hands after the gasoline evaporated. Fun times. Diesel is a lot safer.

For cleaning bike gears etc. I've used a DIY degreaser with water, fuel alcohol, baking soda, and dishwashing liquid. Works ok, and is cheap.

Why is the submarine bolted shut from the outside?
It's still basically just used to describe self-described socialists and communists who deny atrocities committed by communist governments or engage in deranged levels of whataboutism. I rarely see it used against garden variety lefties.
> What's the argument for outsourcing workplace safety to individual lawyers?

That isn't my argument, so I wouldn't make it. OSHA oversees that, and fines are one of its tools. That's a separate issue from compensating people who are harmed as the result of workplace safety violations.

You wouldn't say that the FAA or NHTSA IS "outsourcing safety" just because they aren't the ones handing out civil penalties, right?
I wasn't referring to the cells, but the products themselves. CATL produces cells, and yes Tesla uses cells from many of those companies. But a battery storage system is more than just the cells. I was specifically referring to Tesla's PowerWall & PowerPack/Megapack products, which has been growing at a fast rate. Just in the last ~3 weeks there were two several hundred million dollar battery storage projects announced that use Tesla Megapack[1][2].

In terms of cell technology, it's really hard to say whether those press releases announcing major break throughs actually matter or not. Tesla is also producing its own cells, but they'll happily buy whatever cells are available since at this point they're constrained by cells.
