Of course he can. What makes a business have government approval is two things.

1. economic viability.
2. No visible opinion against China.

Your saying there's something else:

3. Visible support FOR China.

Number 3 is not required. You don't see Marvel movies and hollywood pandering to Chinas greatness do you? You only see an absense of dissent against China.

Here take a look at the clip. We all have the ability to judge tonality and the detail Elon puts into that statement to make the qualitative judgement call whether he's pandering or he believes in what he says:

Also one day I recommend you go to China and see what's going on there with your own eyes. It's like going to Yosemite half dome vs. looking at pictures of it. The difference between the US and China will floor you.

Some cities introducing low emissions zones have done exactly this for poorer residents with older ICE cars. They get cash bonuses plus mass transit passes, vouchers for car shares etc..

I think the answer is that bullshitters are great inspiration. They're fun, they get the smart people pumped up. The combination of a bullshitter and a more precise but less gregarious person is powerful. See a lot of successful companies.
I don’t think US really threatens violence when people collect on the public debt. This is quite rare historically because it makes people weary to lend you money.

Payments, including interest, are regularly made and of course individual debts are paid all the time.

I still feel Final Fantasy 6 was the best JRPG of the retro era. At the time it had heavy themes you wouldn’t expect a child to grapple with: the ideas that the good guys can just straight up lose and having to live with the consequences, characters whose arcs may never truly be redeemed (because they can fucking die), and even complex issues like the passing of loved ones, committing suicide when all hope is lost, gambling addictions, slitting your own mothers throat for some money, rape and genocide, interspecies relationships, racism, speciesism, the rise of fascism and the use of technology to enslave the masses. It should be a required play through for a young child, and a seasoned adult should provoke conversations about events in the game.
There are plenty of dense cities around the world where I'm sure the owners of apartments in the (walkable) center would have enough money to buy a house/McMansion in a nice suburb.

And some do. But plenty don't. And building dense walkable cities with nice public transportation works very well and does not make these cities less attractive as far as I can tell.

I did the same in Toronto.

Then I bought a car.

Night and day. Life became 10x easier. Suddenly Costco trips were possible. Weekend trips to cottage country. Visiting friends on the other side of town was a two-hour TTC (Toronto's public transit) ordeal; suddenly it became a 15-minute comfortable, safe, addict-free, warm car ride.
As a tourist? No. You need to give your national ID (Social Security Number) to the salespeople so they can check you are receiving some sort of government assistance already.

What you are describing is also the reason why China has lost more jobs to automation than the US to China.
It does seem like a situation where the pie just grew around it. There are so many kinds of job now. Even manufacturing is skilled work, more than it ever was. Their skill might be the ins and outs of a particular machine (like one of those big green injection molding machines), but it's as skilled as any kind of office work.
Yeah, I worked at one small scale place. Our final products were very expensive (around $5k-$20k, depending on features). The case that the instrument went into cost us almost $150 a pop from a local metal shop, which was (relatively) small and easy to add on to the price of the device, so the customer barely noticed anyway. Of course, we had people who'd worked in mass-produced ventures who complained constantly that it would be so much cheaper in large batches. They projected $5-15 per case, if only we sold in bulk, of course we didn't so it was lunch talk for years. They knew why we didn't bother for more “molded” parts made in China and such, but still never let it go. :)

My guess however is that within a few months if this goes semi-viral is there will be $1 versions from ali-express after they get a little time to play around. Obviously they won't be manufactured as well, but they likely will be good enough to fool some people into buying them and working for a few months before they wear out
It can be cheaper to run things in the cloud if your workload is very spiky or short lived.

That's what CBT tries to do. Treatment for social anxiety typically uses a CBT process of both exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring: where you learn to replace negative thoughts, especially dysfunctional ones like "this person will hate me", with neutral "this person might hate me, but so what" or positive ones.

I'm over simplifying, CBT has a bunch of other techniques as well.

You're talking about a different topology, though. Twisted-pair is cheaper per metre so allows you do to star topologies which work better. Especially so if you consider equivalent cables, so a hypothetical Cat6A equivalent coax vs Cat6A UTP or whatever.

That's not how this works. It's not about income any more than it is about race. Racial disparate impact is enough for the FCC to fine you to oblivion. The fact that it's listed after "income" does not change that.
The EU has an elaborate system of VAT taxation. It is an accounting nightmare, but it is fair tax: every part of the chain is paying according to their value-add. Whole of the EU has it. If EU wasn't so anachronistic, the accounting for it could be completely automated.

But nobody ever thought to make a similar system to pay people for the value they add to the chain. On the internet it's possible, and many blockchain systems promise something similar. But big tech wants all the profits, from everyone's creations, all for itself. And governments are silently guilty standing in the background
I dug around to find the study you're referring to (after a now-deleted comment asked about it). Is it this one?

https://hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/heavey-hurlburt-2008.pdf

If so, the interpretation you describe seems pretty far off base.

Also, my impression is that that meme was not sparked by a psychological study, but that a few people did draw on this study to justify it.
Donations to "keep the site running" .. our costs were actually relatively high, but our donations were several times our needs.
Or just the earlier works have been forgotten. It tends to surprise people when I mention the 1939 Wizard of Oz movie (one of the first(?) to showcase color and still known for that because of the transition) was an adaptation of just the first book of an older series.

yeah, that message plays if the face detection can't find a face. It's a little wonky because on their end the face detection gets their whole webcam (and then crops to just the face) - but the cropped version is all that's transmitted to you (I thought it'd be deceptive to transmit more). SOmetimes the face detection struggles to find a face in the cropped face. But I thought cutting the video there was safer than letting it through.

Glad you had a fun and weird experience with your other play session. That's certainly the intended experience.
I'm talking generally about this reasoning, whether used by security researchers or governments condemning land for megacorps (or anyone else):

I haven't ever put "living in a city" together with "elitist". Living in the suburbs away from the cacophony of the city, a 5 minute drive away from all your favorite chain stores and malls seems much more elitist to me.
Getting around without a car is perfectly enjoyable if you live in the right neighborhood in the city.

Right - the essential problem here is that the "economic infeasibility" standard is impossible to overcome. Most businesses are looking at impact at the margin - is opening up in this new market going to be profitable or not?

On the other hand, it's not economically infeasible to extend FTTH to any given area I decide to point out, it's just a question of how many unprofitable areas you'd have to service before your business as a whole failed. Presumably at that point, you'd meet the economic infeasibility standard.

No-one can run a business that way; literally no-one.
No it's just physics. Carrying around an extra several thousand pounds of steel will always be a burden on more than just the one doing it.

Transportation spans a huge spectrum. From walking to hoverboards to bicycles, e-bikes, motorcycles, cars, trucks, semis, trains, planes, cargo ships, etc.

Gasoline/diesel vs electricity is orthogonal to most of that. So is "self-driving".

It is great to have progress in batteries and charging. It is great to have progress in bicycle wheels and in snowmobile treads. It's great to have advances in cheaper rail beds and rotary masts.

It would be amazing if we had serious innovation on creating safer separation of transportation modes that promoted more progress on multiple axes simultaneously.

My biggest frustration here is that it can't understand simple responses to questions it asked me. I'll ask Alexa to turn off the lights in a certain room, sometimes she'll respond "a few things share that name, which one did you mean" and I cannot say "both" or even "all of them". The command equivilent of none-of-the-above or all-of-the-above feels table stakes for an assistant which can ask you for specific selections if it is confused about which you meant.

You can ask to "turn off all of the lights" - but "all of the lights" or "all of them" isn't a valid response once you're into the question-and-answer phase, at least not reliably for me.

Start paying 250k a year for cobol developers and the problem fixes itself really fast. That or start migrating the system. Or more likely they keep using it until it completely breaks and then run to the government for a big handout to fix it.

> nobody ever thought to make a similar system to pay people for the value they add to the chain

of course, you are joking! look in the USENET news archives.. from the early 1990s.. you will see many proposals like "micropayments" .. later, even standards proposed. Also see the importance of "ad free Internet" and how certain govt-company groups try to add their own "ID" to people and machines.
>It's quite easy to find where the minorities are. The Census data is quite accessible. It like is not wholly complete given many minorities lack of trust of government officials, but it will give one a strong idea of where they reside.

> on the organization that gave you this platform in the first place. Seems a little unhinged.

I think the reasoning was pretty concise although throwing shade, referring to it as unhinged is uncalled for. I think I see this a bit too much on HN but bears repeating: your favorite trillion dollar company does not need to be defended. It is unlikely you'd be calling it unhinged if similar sentiments were expressed about Google, Microsoft or Facebook.
The difference is that modern broadband internet is more akin so a necessary utility like water or electricity than it is to luxury goods. Further that telecomms have received billions in subsidies to build out infrastructure to these communities and have lobbied against municipal competition.

If you put yourself in position of gatekeeper of an essential service then it's reasonable to put a burden on you to do due diligence to make sure that service is equally accessible.

Not to mention record profits, so it's not like these giants are hanging on by the skin of their teeth.

Any open source code that requires constant maintenance either has FAANG support or would switch license in the future. I don't think that donation or pay for support could pay market rate to talented developers except in a rarest of rare case(e.g. sqlite which has very high user to developer ratio).

Just treat not open source product differently than open source. Assume that the current version is all you are getting in open source.
Nope. Training data for the big LLMs is a corpus of text, not structured data. There would be much more dimensionality with regard to parameterization as far as I understand when it comes to structured data

That is changing fast and most of the jobs that I have seen have sane requirements now.

> H1B fresh out of grad school

Grad school - they're advanced degree holders(MS or PHD), that's already above a fresh CS BSc graduate.

H1b has not been a source of cheap engineering talent for years now. The salaries of H1b are legally above median, which squarely puts them out of the CS graduate category. It cost a company $20k for my L1b in 2016, H1b was about half with 30% chance of success and 6-12 month wait.

Saying that CS graduates compete with fresh H1b is ignorant at best.

Advanced degree holders do not compete with CS graduates, that are BSc... let alone bootcampers.
> Regarding payoff: My research says 5-8 years on average (12k miles per year) after accounting for production and emissions (generation for EV, gas for ICE), so I'm curious to know where you get your data.

> It's well known that EV batteries degrade faster than expected, aside from early year Prius hybrid and later Leaf batteries which seem to be holding up well for some reason. So even if the car lasts, you may have replaced the battery multiple times already.

Well known by who? Leaf batteries degraded fast because they had no active cooling mechanism. That changed in 2016, which is why later Leaf batteries have held up well. Any EV car you buy today that was manufactured in the last 7 years has active cooling. Leaf was one of the last to adopt it.

Anecdotally, I drive a 2018 model 3 with 120k miles on it. The battery has degraded by 5% (310 miles to 296).

> None of this even accounts for microplastic production from tire and road wear, which goes as the fourth power of the vehicle mass. EVs obviously on the losing side of that vs bicycles, ebikes, even small ICEs.

Agree. But I'm not sure that microplastic production is something to really be concerned with. Unless we are talking about transitioning to more public transport, it's a secondary issue vs CO2 production.
I have it on good authority (Chrome Devrel) that the method described here https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/migrating/to-se... is no longer limited to only managed devices for enterprise or education.
> We should not sacrifice the many

I don't see how forcing the many to have sub-standard ad-blocking software isn't a sacrifice of its own. Ads and tracking demonstrably harm user privacy.

We have two harms: rogue extensions siphoning off user data, and shitty ad networks eroding user privacy. I don't think we need to choose to solve only one or the other.

And it's not like MV3 really protects users from rogue extensions. It's pretty obvious it's a plan by Google to reduce the effectiveness of ad blockers; the alleged privacy improvements are an unproven excuse.

I think voice assistants are one of those things where what they could do when they first appeared was sufficiently cool that many of us were willing to overlook the many shortcomings. Now, quite a few years in, it's probably a matter of "Yes, yes, you can set a timer but what have you done for me recently?"
Essentially it will work fantastically until you hit the capacity of the cache memory and then the write rate will drop, sometimes only a bit, more often quite a lot.

There are drives that can maintain their write rate 'forever', but those are substantially more expensive, for instance the Samsung 970 pro, see this graph from a Tom's Hardware article, it's a good graph because it very clearly shows how much cache the drives have and then it's game over:

You don't think it will change when your aunt comes to you asking why the adblocking you installed for her isn't working anymore?
Depends on budget I'm sure, but the prices are lowering fast. You can buy a used 2020 Model 3 from Tesla.com for $28,700 with 34,219 miles, including a 10k + 1 year extended general warranty, and the 5 yr + 100k mile battery + motor warranty. New 2023 is $36,650 minus $7500 and minus state incentives, so $29150 or less before tax.

Another option, a 2019 eGolf is $17,000 with 120 mile range used with 36900 miles and still has some warranty remaining on battery + drive train.

I think those are comparable to gas alternatives. If you factor in gas savings, the monthly payment starts to work out for a ton of long commuters. Then, once you pay off the loan it's insane how much you save. I pay $116/mo for insurance and $350/yr on reg for my 2019 model 3 now that I've been driving for the last 4.5 years. If you have to charge at superchargers it's less savings, but if you can charge in a garage or at home it's about $30-40/mo to charge vs $160-200 /mo I was paying in gas.

Moving closer to the city can cost $500+/mo more than living farther outside the city for a similar sqft place. Plus you get cleaner air, quieter environment away from the main city. Some people don't like city living.
As CSS has developed over the last few years it is amazing how much you can now do on the front-end without JavaScript.

I think what OP is saying is that once AI can replicate these performances (and my coding skills) these things will no longer be scarce. So maybe it's not artificial yet, but it will soon be. Assuming the AI itself doesn't get exclusively owned by companies that implement their own artificial scarcity walls.
A big factor is that the urban population is much larger and tends to vote for things that make sense in their context, but any laws would also apply outside it.

So those in the countryside might be badly effected by a car ban imposed by urbanites.

It's a similar effect to the way policies tend to get made that are good for the middle class but bad for the poor.
