Yeah, I also stiffen under, "I want you to..."

In those cases I strongly prefer to use and hear, "Will you please..."

There's something in it that feels like I don't exist. It's just an announcement of what the King or Queen wants. I'm not worthy of consideration in the request.
Pretty accurate take. There are two truisms is corporate leadership world

1. They are never at fault
2. It was always the fault of the prior leader after a re-org

It's perfect.
Until someone has a fusion reactor producing energy for the grid, fusion is sci-fi.
> which is then a lever that the sales department use to book the film on screens. On an average week there are multiple new films jostling for the same fixed amount of cinema screens.

This sounds like a zero-sum game. Someone's raking it in here.
> No, that was never in dispute though, strawman argument?

Well that was the point that I was trying to convey, I'm glad that we are in agreement.

> Treason is betrayal as it applies to aiding an enemy, not a trusted ally. And almost never in times of peace. The specific term is espionage not treason. But still a betrayal of trust. Usually assets are just waiting to be bought, it's better for an ally to buy them instead of a hostile country/agent. Lookup the CIA MICE acronym on how to develop assets.

The person who sells the classified information would obviously be the one that commits treason, not the spy agency.

> Are you saying if the US president was nicer, US spying would be acceptable? Or are you making my argument for me that precisely for the reasons you mentioned, european intel agencies are spying in/against the US?

What I am trying to say is that since there is no guarantee that the next president will be good it would be wise never to accept intrusive spying. No I don't think spy agencies should wiretap the phones of their allies leaders, if they are allies. That would be dishonorable and shameful.

Collecting intelligence can still be done through other means of course. The information in the link below, for instance is probably not collected trough wiretapping:

> Think about it this way, not much has changed between EU and US relations even after snowden reveals and trump.

Yeah which I think reflects really unfavorably on the politicians in both the EU and the US.

> Ultimately the interests of both parties are largely aligned and intertwined and embarassments like the US spying solved diplomatically.

Diplomacy can still be based on threats of violence, so that doesn't really impress me very much.

> But what concerns me is much of both US and EU is too many generarions removed from the chaos of the old world. They are not aware of the treasure of peace and friendly relations we all enjoy. We are debating over a website instead of with bullets from foxholes and the current state of spying is largely a reaction to WW2 and the cold war. It can change both for better and worse, so vote for foreign ministers that will relfect your views and priorities so they can solve this stuff.

People in Ukraine, Palestine, Sudan, Yemen and many more, might not agree with that. Furthermore Europe is being overrun by refuges created by the turmoil which also seem to point to the fact that things aren't that stable.

You could also argue that during the USSR all the countries in that sphere where living in peace, others would say that they where living in fear of the secret police.
No incentive to do so? I can’t speak to the motivations or lack thereof, I can only say (as someone who eats out fairly frequently) that this is a non issue for all but the most in demand restaurants. In my metro area of 1.2 million I can count the restaurants that have had issues with this on one hand.
So the owner is a special case (and I specifically used the term owner and not CEO), because he/she can do whatever they want as long as it is within the law.

If they created the company just to feel important and needed then who am I to tell them they need to make themselves redundant?

Obviously, there are good reasons for the owner to actually be redundant and if I was advising them, I would try to argue that the business might be healthier and their ownership less risky if there are other people who can pick up the responsibilities of the owner.

For example, I have seen companies where the owner would be the only person to have access to the company account and pay out salaries. The issue with this is that sometimes he would be busy and salaries would not be paid on time but maybe a day or two late. The owner never ever lived paycheck to paycheck so had no empathy to understand what is this feeling of uncertainty doing to his people who expect and depend on the money arriving on time.

Obviously this was a serious legal problem. But I argued with him that even if it wasn't he would still benefit from somebody else having access to the account and making payments on time just to avoid damaging morale of his entire crew.

In this case, the owner could not stand the feeling of surrendering the access to the account to an employee. I advised that he makes two separate accounts, one where he keeps majority of funds that he and only he can access and the other which has enough of cash on it to allow his employees do day to day business without disruption. This way any damage from an employee would be limited. That placated him somewhat and in time he started to enjoy the feeling of not having to be constantly pressed for time to various payments and started keeping larger buffer.
I recently went through their interview process, it was very smooth and I had a great time. If you're thinking about applying, go for it!
What’s chiral Au? Can we get it OTC?
Bold of you to assume there was a CTO back in the days of ISDN... even in a bank.
>4. Test-Driven Development (TDD) (Once you’ve learned all the above, you always start writing tests first)

I've seen like bilion discussions about TDD and I still dont understand why is it so overhyped.

Additionally it sucks that for some people you either do TDD or dont write tests at all (what the f...., indeed)

This whole red-green step in TDD makes complete no sense when you're writing new code.

The only value provided by TDD when writing new code is that you're forced to think from caller/user perspective, so it makes your API design better, that's it.
It defers a tiny piece of complexity in the language to every program written in the language (at least, ones that care about correctness).
Do you have to generate embeddings with openai? I'm assuming this is the quickest and easiest way, but what's the complexity if you do this on your own hardware?
If they want to use the expense they made on the (apparently) failed film to reduce their tax burden, they can trade that multimillion reduction in their tax for the (according to them) worthless materials they did end up with.

If those materials have worth, then they shouldn't be writing them off in the first place while also sitting on them. If they don't have worth, it shouldn't be a problem. Except in some zero-sum type thing where they'd rather destroy it then let anyone else benefit, and then there's a question of if society at large should be footing the bill for the destruction of value in order to stymie competitors.

Now, clearly, that's not how the rules actually currently work or we wouldn't be in here at all.
Yeah definitely, starting the project in 2007 to releasing publicly in November 2009 is very fast. Then reaching a very stable 1.0 in 2012 is also fast.

That's only possibly by reducing scope. I don't think more people help, because you can't really divide and conquer language design.

(As far as I understand, the early project was something like "take Ken Thompson's C compilers and add goroutines, garbage collection, slices, and interfaces")

I don't use Go regularly, but I've also had some very good experiences with it lately.

They have kept the tools simple and predictable. Getting started is a breeze.

The MIPS support worked surprisingly well, e.g. on a machine with 64 MB of RAM.

I've had and still have a lot of gripes about (mainly being a sort of closed ecosystem), but you can't deny that it works well, and is a big achievement.
I don't care if I am or aren't stealing. They face no consequences for blatant GDPR and privacy violations. Why should I take the moral high ground if there isn't one?

Your comments are an insult to readers' intelligence. Efficiency is good. Cutting fossil fuel use ASAP is crucial for the future of humanity. Shifting demand from air travel to high speed rail and from air cargo to ocean freight are unalloyed goods.

I don't know if that was the real intent of this code, considering all the weird nuance around NaN in Javascript - however I agree with the point the author makes, and will take it one step further:

We should be building these semantics directly into our languages, not relying on programmers to strictly follow a "best practice". In this case, it would be making values non-nullable and baking in Result/Option/etc style types that force programmers into handling the null (or NaN) case.
At some point in the past it strikes me people could have made the exact same argument about any higher level language beyond assembly.

The best answer is really if you ask chatGPT "how has the forging of steel progressed since it was invented?".

To me, you are basically worried for no reason about what happens when the apprentices no longer spends their time heating and hammering iron to remove impurities and increase carbon content. There is a trade off involved here. I am sure the apprentices of old understood at a base level what was really going on in the forge better than a modern apprentice but that hardly is an argument against progress.
I don't think it will get shadowbanned if it hasn't already got shadowbanned:P
This makes a lot of sense - but how? By definition, management does a different job from individual contributors. How do you make a manager feel the pain of a messy code base, for example?
> the problem itself is turning out to just be harder to cover properly than foreseen originally

Than foreseen by Tesla. Everyone else knew they couldn't possibly achieve what Musk was claiming.

> Tesla also has the most promising tech on this for many reasons

After Waymo maybe.

> considering even the NN chip hardware can be semi-easily upgraded if really needed

Haha there's no way 20 year old cars (minimum; by the time FSD actually works) are going to get sensor and compute upgrades. Not going to happen.

> That sounds like someone saying muskets are a fad.

I'm not sure what your analogy is meant to mean but I think you misunderstood me. I'm not saying driverless cars in general can never exist. Clearly they will eventually (maybe 10-20 years?). It's the upgrade to FSD that people have paid for that can never exist.
Does anyone know of a fix for "Suggested for you" pages in FB feed? I used a very clean feed with just posts from my friends and all ads blocked but for some reason none of the lists used by uBlock Origin is able to block the new code for "Suggested for you". Any ideas?

EDIT: This is also a call for you, ex-Facebook engineers who once wanted to make the world a better place. You can help now to deobfuscate this code and make this trash disappear.

The criminal matter is, the liability for damages is still going to be thrashed out between insurers.
Gotta love the business model of FTX, Coinbase, Binance (and all US retail brokers): receive money from clients for the purchase of securities, deliver nothing in return unless you feel like it.

When your fraud moves against you, you can just restrict buying or selling or all trading until you're solvent again. All good. No biggy.

1 guy at FTX went to jail, I hope (for the future of the US) that there are many to follow.

As I understand it, Go is funded by Google in the sense that core language development is largely undertaken by Google employees, not in the sense that an independent language foundation organization that receives funding from external backers invests in core language development.
Your question implies a central planning of allocation of resources which we know from history results in exactly the hellish abject poverty you were so concerned about. Market economies full of rationally self interested people create the best life outcomes for everyone around. We are ALL better off if we are all in friendly competition to live the best lives possible.
Tesla is nowhere near the leader. The problem is hard, who could possibly have known? Oh right, any person with a bit of knowledge of how computers work and drive a car. Tesla can't make it reliably work in the car-centric USA. I'd love to see it perform in a busy Indian city or even just any old European city.

Tesla cars do not last long, and the battery costs a fortune to replace when it dies or gets damaged out of warranty.
I feel like I’m missing something, so perhaps there’s an aspect of corporate taxes here that I don’t understand. I would expect a write-off like this to reduce the assets of the firm on paper, perhaps having an impact on the market valuation, but don’t see how it would impact taxes.

Wouldn’t the actual expenses of production reduce tax liability immediately when they are incurred, regardless of whether or not the corporation later is able to make a profit off of the product? Or do they treat the production of a film as net-zero from a tax perspective because they had $X million in expenses and gained $X million in assets in the form of the finished film?
I think also the problem is that what is considered left and right in one country (or even state) is different to another. Typically US Americans are not good at seeing themselves as a small part of a larger world. These kinds of simplistic parochial articles do nothing to help.
"The best solution" for who? The studio? They're not going to do that, because if they do, they lose the option to change their minds later and release the movie in the usual way.

Tangent to this idea is the concept of 'back pressure' related to data flow, and the need to have a way to return feedback in a system.

I assume Subaru has different marketing and brand positioning than in the US, where it’s more of an outdoorsy version of a Toyota Corolla.

As a side note, it frustrates me that a Subaru is the only way to get a wagon without buying a luxury car, especially because I don’t want a Subaru.
Then the CEO should have explained that, end of story.

(It's possible that they did, and the retelling is so biased as to exclude that fact. But it seems unlikely.)
I think the real problem being illustrated here is that the IT side of the shop needs autonomy to do what it knows to be correct somewhat independently of the business side of the shop.

Ultimately, trust is what governs how much oversight you should be expected to suffer in an organization. In my shop, I don't have to ask for permission to do anything unless it touches our customers in some way. If I see a machine that is struggling or a SaaS plan that is reaching quota, I simply upgrade. Every now and then someone will ask me about a new bill or increase, but I don't have to subject myself to multiple depositions to move the ball forward.

The suits should consider the downsides of creating an environment where one has to plead for permission to conduct the most trivial tech work. How much innovation is going straight into a burning trash can over convoluted change policies that were established in some ivory tower a decade+ ago?

Can we somehow reframe the organization in a way where the business is modeled as a customer of the IT team? That seems to me like a much simpler way to think of things, because at the end of the day if the business fails, the IT shop is has no raison d'etre.

It's not like it is a fact of life that is outside of the unions control either. If they wanted the work, they could let people work on Tesla vehicles. If they don't need the work, then there isn't any reason to do so.

> "When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do" When in Sweden....

But you can also choose where you want to go and that sounds like what Tesla is doing. They aren't forcing Swedish unions to do anything that Swedish unions don't want to do. And Swedish unions aren't making Telsa do something they don't want to do. Sounds like a win win for everyone.
Your comment is funny because Comic Sans is actually pretty good from a design and accessibility perspective.

It would be interesting to see how this holds up in the US market. I've always held an assumption that the more driver assist doohickeys on a car makes the drivers worse. More expensive cars usually have more doohickeys than less expensive ones.

I had a Cisco 1604 ISDN router setup at work to autodial to save money rather than being connected all of the time. Unfortunately, I discovered IBM AIX when the web browser package was installed contained periodic telemetry dial-home to Big Blue every hour or so that prevented the lab network from idling happily until I added a firewall rule to the router to block that sneaky shit. Even in the late 90's, Microsoft, Sun, and Novell weren't as brazen about telemetry as IBM.
Only if the world ends it won't. At that point Tesla will have licensed it to a ton of other manufacturers, possibly even reached a certified standard like they did with NACS so competition will be even more behind.

Your kind of thinking would say that no one will ever need more than 840k of memory or that rifling will never take off
It's been kind of buried, but KDE has the first steps of tiling mode built into it now, in addition to the default screen edge tiling (on KDE 5.27.8 on up). Meta + T to enable tile editor. Shift + window drag to move a window into a tile.

Hopefully a lot more coming, including different layouts per virtual desktop & full keyboard nav for the tiles. But it's a decent start.

I have the perception that HN is quite ruthless with the feedback. I appreciate constructive criticism, and HN is mostly constructive and self moderates against non-constructive criticisms, but for me, HN is the platform that gives me the highest anxiety when I think about launching something - more than product hunt.

Edit: and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that if you only give someone encouraging words and positive feedback , you are doing them a disservice by stunting their growth or sending them down a wrong path.
