> wouldn't you consider your statement itself to be a giant heads up, right now

No, I'm saying it's fucked this is the status quo across the country. Making severance--particularly in cases of business failure--the private obligation of the employer is recapitulating employer-funded healthcare.

(That said, yes. If you work at a start-up you should maintain a cash cushion if possible. That, and check your contract's severance terms and ask for them to be proper before the company enters shitsville.)
Does it matter when the latter of those two turns off and loses the additional users it gained from the more enticing description because it’s half-baked and unpleasant to use?

Intuitively I’d think the former has better long term prospects, because it’ll have word of mouth (people love talking about things that make them happy) eventually make up for the reduced initial interest.

> Part of me thinks the lack of mechanic knowledge around Teslas make it really easy to exploit owners.

This has nothing to do with Tesla or mechanic knowledge, as actual mechanics working on non-Teslas routinely scam owners. Scumbags are just always going to exploit people without knowledge.
Most of the reason is that asset prices (and thus wealth has shrunk), inflation is higher, so people are buying less and there's no Fed dropping money from helicopters.

Beyond the importance of controlling the placebo effect, I am worried that a lot of the drug-depression research is overlooking an important possibility: that the thing about ketamine/psilocybin/etc that is helping with depression is not some latent property of the molecule, but rather the actual transcendent experience of the trip. In other words, the trip is the point, not the mechanistic neuro-tinkering [0].

Importantly, this tracks with what we know about the protective effects of things like religiosity against depression. As such, the qualitative experience of the drug might not be something we can (or should) do away with. I would even go as far as suggesting that an absence of transcendence in one's life is precisely what causes a large segment of people to become depressed in the first place, and that perhaps drugs are helpful only insofar as they produce a transcendent experience.

This isn't to say we can't take a scientific approach to treating depression, but that has to be balanced with something profoundly metaphysical: the actual qualia of life experience. Wellness isn't the absence of disease; it's the presence of thriving, and that includes within it a component of things like hope, inspiration, and elevation above the ordinary. We used to have various ceremonies designed to turn us towards the numinous, but we've pretty systematically dismantled those in favor of a grounded hyper-rationality [1]. As a scientist, I can't really object to rationality on its own, but it may be worth considering non-rational, transcendent experience as a fundamental psychological need.

[0] If you're a materialist, you might object that neurological machinery is not differentiable from qualia. Fair enough! I even agree! My point is simply that medicine needs to consider qualia as a major parameter in the treatment of depression. Fixing depression is not like fixing a car.

[1] I suspect most people here are familiar with Nietzsche's "God is dead quote". Many people in my entourage are floored to discover that he correctly predicted the dramatic increase in anxiety, depression, neuroticism and nihilism that is present in modern life.

Agreed on 1; people in the court case are saying Google is better.

Given that, why wouldn't Google negotiate a lower rev share?

Consider this from Apple's Eddie Cue: "Cue implied that Bing’s technology was inferior to Google’s, saying that he doesn’t 'know what we would have done” if negotiations with Google ever fell apart.' " [1]

If I were sitting across from Cue at the negotiating table and knew he felt that way I certainly would be looking at a lower rev share and saving some billions of profit for Google...

He could buy 6 million people a Tesla if he sold everything and this had no side effects on the company etc. Not sure why he would do this though because of a $30k repair bill.
Correct. It's important to remember the existence of a placebo effect isn't correlated with the efficacy of the drug being tested. I suppose that is obvious, but placebo studies tend to have a negative connotation.

I concur; the graphs didn't show much difference to me (but I was on my phone so I couldn't be certain :-) The study seems impressive from the title, but reading it not so much. The Alzheimer's patients in the study are older, more male, and less educated than the controls, so it seems quite likely that they are eating worse which would explain the different microbiota. This could mess up the mice in multiple ways. (Seriously, the mice that receive Alzheimer's microbiota could have a stomach ache and do slightly worse on the tests.)

As for why there is so much interest on HN, I've noticed that Alzheimer's is one of the topics that is overly popular on HN, along with category theory, Lisp, and problems with Tesla, to name a few.

I don't know, but that has nothing to do with the FCC. The FCC does not have the authority to regulate what online companies do. Data portability is something Congress has yet to pass laws on. If Congress passes such a law, then it would probably place the responsibility of enforcing data portability onto the FTC.
Tesla has a functional autopilot?
SwiftUI exists to solve exactly this problem - the ui is declarative and state driven.

However, its predecessor UIKit is mostly imperative and it takes a lot of manual code to keep the UI reflective of the underlying data model. For this reason I find many IOS apps, and especially apple’s own, to be always mildly broken.

Programming in UIKit is like programming in JQuery, or maybe Backbone at best.

SwiftUI brings us to the modern age of react (but with less capabilities and more bugs)

IOS developers though tend to be pretty resistant to such “modern” paradigms. If you read the rest of the discussion on this post, you fill find that even using Swift, let alone SwiftUI is still a very debated issue.

Maybe the grass is greener, but I don’t find the same resistance for new ideas in the web (typescript) or Android (kotlin) communities.

I do wonder if this resistance is combing from an objective evaluation of the new tech, or the lack of desire/time to learn something new.

How would you characterize that policy?

Sure, you always have the choice between changing yourself or changing the experience.

If you're the kind of person that can change themselves to appreciate everything in life, good for you. Otherwise changing the experience (including multitasking) is a more simple approach.

It was a quote, not their own claim. Perhaps they included it to show the claimant was not very smart.

But, ok, Wikipedia says Musk is worth around $250 billion, and let's say Tesla 3 costs $35 thousand. Elon could buy a little over 7 million Teslas. There's 8 billion people on Earth, so you have a little under one in a thousand chance to get a Tesla. Not bad!

If Elon is not a fan of a lottery, he could also buy a Tesla for each person living in Kyrgyzstan...

> issues with police that wildly escalate a situation, in ways that result in things like "burn-half-the-city-down riots".

That is one way of putting it. Another and in my opinion more correct way is to conclude that some groups of people are looking for reasons to burn half the city down and find it in "police brutality" or "racism". When the police is just as brutal towards different groups of people the cities do not burn down.

You can have a look at the areas which gave heed to the calls to "defund the police" to find out whether that has led to a decrease or increase of crime. If the police were the cause of these problems you'd expect fewer problems when there are fewer police encounters. In actuality the result is the opposite and what most people who do not hold with the narrative expected: less police leads to more crimes committed.

No, reducing police presence in these dystopian areas is not the solution. A better trained police force with better tactics might be. Giuliani managed to turn New York around so it can be done if there is the will and the opportunity to act upon that will.

Giving up and giving in will lead to streets empty of stores instead of streets with empty stores which will promptly be followed by claims of "discrimination" and "structural racism" because there are no shops in those areas without a single person asking why those shops left. Giving up and giving in is not an option.
This is really impressive work tbh. Good job.

The question there is why you're operating using teams of 5 devs. The most productive environments I've worked at were ones where single devs had ownership over a chunk large enough not to require that much interaction (IE an amount of interaction that you would contemplate between teams, not between devs on a team)

The issue with that is that you have to eat a big handover cost when people leave. But these environments had great retention and long contractual notice periods, so it wasn't a huge issue.

IMO the "two pizza team" isn't as productive as people think.
If some kind of disaster happend to the car, like it being flooded, yes. But if it was normal rain that all other cars survived, I think the insurance is going to point at Tesla.

This being Europe, and the car less than a year old, it's on Tesla to prove this wasn't a defect in their car. Otherwise it's reasonable for the consumer to expect it to keep working if it rains, and Tesla is going to be on the hook for warranty. Unlike some other jurisdictions you can't really get out of warranty if you sell consumer products in Europe.
This is a fantastic essay, not just about the web, really, but technological or industrial artefacts in general.

I’ve often mused on my role as a developer, thinking really that we’re just another set of gatekeepers. Within normal economic relations at work, it seems we’re often taking agency from users and gifting power to others.

This isn’t anything new, and we need to not be blinded by technocratic ideas of efficiency or technological progress, as if they’re not deeply political terms.

It’s very telling that we’re regurgitating Keynes’ idea, from the mid 20th century, that growth, technology and automation will liberate us from work, when it’s done nothing of the sort.
Tax deduction for renovations is $5k per year ($7.5k next year). Or well, less now that 1 USD is 11 SEK instead of 10.

You make it sound like you can just start a company and hire yourself, and the biggest drawback would be more complicated taxes... No, the biggest drawback is that you're starting a business and taking a (much) larger risk than being employed. Hiring an accountant to help with the bookkeeping is a minor thing in comparison.
I can't wait for a foldable iPhone, I think it's the kind of tech that Apple is going to knock out of the park. It's currently at just the right level of established-but-not-yet-perfected, and software/UX/ecosystem is one of the main hurdles other companies are still wrestling with

But I don't really see the appeal of a foldable iPad. I can't imagine a situation where I'd want my iPad to be half or double its current size

If qualia are not different that our “neurological machinery” (and all available evidence shows this so far, not least the incoherence of definitions of qualia that try to exclude such) then medicine is already considering such as a major parameter.

If they are different (and exist at all) then such needs to be demonstrated before they can be reliably considered.

Given even proponents of qualia can’t reliably agree with each on what they even are defined as (other than using vague circular reasoning)… frankly, I’m not holding my breath.

Planning on it and I'm almost 40. I'm in tech now, but in life I really enjoy deep 1-1 time with people more than anything else I do at work.

I've got a 5-year plan to leave tech and go back to school to become a therapist, specifically working with people suffering from OCD (and perhaps some other forms of anxiety). At this point it's mostly meeting with people in the industry to hear their stories, with a goal of applying to master's programs in the next two years.

Most likely complete a 3 year program and then open up a private practice.

Demand for therapy in my area (Seattle) is at an all-time high, and there are often considerable wait lists when it gets specific like OCD.
But so does Tesla. They have high end (S and X) and lower end (3 and Y). They also have plenty of options with each trim level so you can get a base model version or one fully decked out. Plus, most of Apple's "8 iPhones" are just previous years' models. Tesla famously doesn't do standard model years but I'd challenge anyone to point out a specific need or level that one can't get between Tesla's trim levels, options and used models (trucks obviously notwithstanding).

Believe it or not, but if you manage to damage your engine by driving through deep water that snot under warrenty either, unless you own an ambitious vehicle. There is this incredibly odd and incridibly forced mentality in drivers of "Well I was on the road and I need to get from point A to point B, so nomatter the conditions I can't be faulted for driving through them". But if you drive through deep water and damage your car that's very much your own wrong doing and your own bill at the end of the day. And if it happens that there is no way from point A to point B that doesn't have the potential of damaging your car then you need to just not go at all.

The nice thing about AI's scalability is that in another 3 years they can run all these books through a better version of voice synthesis that's going to be quite better at inflection than what we have now.

Yeah probably because the whole situation is sus as hell.

If the moisture ingress is defective manufacturing, Tesla warranty would cover it. If the cause is the external environment then auto insurance should cover it. That's not to say that this would happen without someone having to argue with someone, but the fact that this obvious information is missing is a little bit too uncomfortably familiar in this style of journalism.
