No, it all matters. Supporting yet another protocol was not wanted by anyone.

Ah... nice to see dylan is still alive. I used kiss linux for a while. It always makes me wonder. There is an obviously very talented programmer, creating multiple projects that all kick of in some kind of a way (or very good documentation, like his bash bible). And then, all of a sudden, dead silence and goes ahead with a completely different way of life.
So you’ll make that decision on my behalf, that any sort of upward mobility wouldn’t motivate or benfit me.

Sure, the the EU has _massive_ cultural baggage because it's comprised of civilisation whic, by-and-large, have thousands of years of history with each other, on the same (limited) land. The US is vastly more culturally homogenous, with more land, and a unified government.

Damn, what the MVP does right now, is check for already established facts. So basically, what we define as fact is something that has proof. For example, we stray away from political views as those are opinions, and stay with “facts”. As for disputed facts, we would also stay away from them unless they have a significantly larger backing than the other. The source currently is LLMs that are trained on huge amounts of data. We have a learn more feature, so whenever you get a suggestion, it gives you the link that the information was pulled from so you can check yourself to see the source. So in a nutshell, we focus more on known solid facts like historic and scientific information. And we are not capping about our age, here is my linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrew-jiang1/

> Wasn’t the whole point of the GPL that there could never be a rug-pull?

This single statement seems to show a few separate misunderstandings. We'll start with the point of GPL: users having enduring and unalienable rights to run, inspect, change and share the code running on their computer.

But you cannot remove somebody's existing right to code under MIT/etc. You make it closed source, I still have yesterday's branch and every right to it I had then.

You can change the license for the project (by CLA or getting every contributors permission, or excising contributions) and that's true even in [A]GPL projects. Again, this only affects code going forward. Everyone who had the code, still has all their rights to it.

So moving to GPL fixes very little with rug-pulls. It will stop another developer making closed source versions of your code. They don't have to contribute their changes upstream (only to their users).

And GPL scares closed-source developers; AGPL terrifies them. They have their purposes but you have to be real with how they're going to be —rightly or wrongly— interpreted. MIT's prevalence is reciprocal convenience.

Any project owner can decide to be arseholes and change their licenses but the community just routes around. Valkey is a great recent example of that. Never touching Redis again.

I'm not sure this is just a matter of priorities. Isn't political leadership in the EU disappointed with the lack of tech industry in the EU?
I don't disagree that it's bad, but this article seems to give the impression that this is new. TLO (owned by TransUnion since 2014) has been selling this stuff since the 2000s.

Basically, assume any parking lot or other surveillance camera you come across is reporting back either the raw data itself or the processed data, like which license plate has been seen. Even the tiny mom-and-pop's, through some deal with either their (or whoever they lease property from's) surveillance or software provider.

And it's regularly been abused by bad actors among debt collectors, private investigators, police, and background check companies selling their access. Like to amateur rap crews from North Carolina, in this example:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/thomasbrewster/2018/10/12/how-a...

So.. yeah, call attention to the practice and the fact it's expanding, that more and more companies are gaining and selling the data. But it minimizes the scope and scale of the problem to focus on one relatively new company's actions over the course of a few years.
I think it is driving the decision yes, and I think bureaucracies are hopelessly politicized and corrupted.

Of course it's the third CCS plug. Europe uses type 2. North America will slowly give up on Type 1.

But they'll still be using CCS, as you yourself admit.

Tesla's protocol is dead.

There's a BIG ol 202Wh 10.8v lithium ion battery in there. The camera's also just a generic 5mp CSI camera hooked into a daughterboard that has a Lantronix OpenQ 624A SOM on it.

IIRC... Android, of some kind.
Yeah nothing about my Tesla is mature technology. Every update is a couple steps back. Every design revision is cost cutting and feature removal (in the name of simplicity of course). We still don’t have auto wipers that work.new still don’t have rear cross traffic alerts when backing up. The cars are laughably bad at parking themselves still. Tesla made a slightly polished MVP and stopped there.
I like the fact that they actually embrace the Nerd Font variants on their own blog - this is awesome to see!
That's not what parent means. They are arguing it's not generally used to delegate partial root access to unprivileged users, i.e by adding narrow sudoers rules to allow "some" specific things to be run as root for some users who don't have full root access otherwise.

I tend to agree that 99% or use cases are just a convenient way to gain full root for users with full root access. Configuring sudoers for the former use case has long known to be a bit dangerous, i.e it's easy to get it wrong and create privilege escalation holes.
> A simple settings file set in stone by the CTO, such a hard task to do.

It does seem hard thing to do. Working over dozens of enterprise shops in last 15 years I have not see such setting done or dictated at all. So whole codebase used to be mishmash of person styles.
Do you know any cops they don't give a shit about the law.

The EU didn't conquer and replace the old society, most of the governments in the EU predate the EU. The US did take many concepts from Europe (common law, republic government), but threw away many others.

The EU looks a lot like the US articles of confederation which the US scrapped after about 10 years for the current constitution because the articles were not powerful enough. (though I personally think the articles only needed some minor tweaks - that is a different debate not worth getting into). The EU's is seeing the same problems those who wanted to replace the articles with the constitution were seeing - but are the worth replacing/fixing is an open question that the EU should be debating.

> So it isn’t about the money for them.

One wonders who would own the other 92.5% (YC gets 7%), if the founding team isn't about the money.
If there is a bad culture then work to fix it. If there are underperforming employees then root them out. Like you said, it's not like 500 totally incompetent people built out the largest and most powerful EV charging infrastructure on the planet in a matter of a decade.
The usual point is that to "justify" Tesla total valuation they can't just be an automaker.
Why does it need to keep a long-term history, though? Isn't an ephemeral ping to get the current location enough? Or if you're trying for better resiliency, let it ping as often as you want but be responsible and only cache it for an hour or a day or whatever. Even a day is probably too long to be practical. They're not going to send help to a location ping from 18 hours ago...
From an economics standpoint, does that make tech giants good, or does it make the US's GDP weaker since so much wealth is concentrated among so few players?

I keep wanting to push back on whether GDP is the best way to measure an economy, but most of the articles I find bring in concepts like "[GDP] doesn’t meaningfully account for successful management of priorities like public health, economic equity, climate action, or racial justice."[1] But you're making it clear you're talking from a purely economics standpoint. So pushing back on the ethics of applying GDP doesn't even apply.

The speculation that I heard was that Tesla saw a potential government enforcement of 1 type of connector. So they made the deals with other car makers and opened their connector so that their connector would be the open standard instead of something else. So yes they gave up their advantage, but there was a possibility that is was ending either way.

Huge waste of human capital kind of applies to the auto industry in general. There are so many makes and models and variations all requiring advanced engineering and manufacturing. We could solve a lot of other big problems w/ those engineers.
True. But if:

#1 - You need a new car
and
#2 - All your new car options are connected
then
#3 - See #1

Or, maybe those cheap new Chinese EV's I've been hearing about will not be connected, nor connectable, "because cost-cutting". That trick might also save the Chinese manufacturers a load of legal headaches and issues.
Then write that.

> At a tech company, you’d be a second class citizen without a degree (unless you were a genius programmer).

That's definitely not true. When I was at Groupon I met a couple of people in sales who didn't have a degree and yet were most definitely not second class citizens. If you can make it rain, companies nobody cares about your traditional credentials. The same is true for marketers, too.
If either of those were true Musk would sell Tesla and/or step down so he could have cash and time to do something else.

What the data says about crime in the U.S.
It’s fine to use an AST interpreter if you pair it with really great JITs.

That has its own problems though - using an AST as a shared source of truth for your JIT compilers is cumbersome for implementing stuff like OSR. But from a perf standpoint, it’s probably fine.

Also - say you want to optimize just for startup time, like if the code you’re running has minimal looping or reexecution. Then AST is better because you skip a step before first execution.
AI companies are making millions producing election content in India
Modern car ownership sucks. I’m sticking with my 2016 model year vehicle that has no internet connectivity for as long as possible. The only nice feature it has is a backup camera.

Just as third party shops can repair any vehicle and have access to the physical parts. Consumers and repair shops should have access to the firmware that control the features of the car.

I should be able to reflash the firmware with a compatible replacement and be good to go.
Ireland is certainly wealthy but not as wealthy as her GDP suggests. What is required is other measures like GNI, GNP et al.

Cracked Rabbit R1 APKs running on Android phone
I will always remember what one of my previous bosses told me.

I had built this whole E-Commerce platform for him and his company (I single-handedly did all the coding, infrastructure, etc. Not taking any credit for their incredible sales team.) that was running in multiple countries, bringing in millions in sales.

But I started getting pretty bored once it was stable enough and just running and started seeking greener pastures.

And he said (I'm paraphrasing) most people are either builders or maintainers, and rarely both. And he said I was a builder at heart. So I hate maintaining things. Which is why, when I helped hire my replacement, he was VERY much a maintainer, and he flourished in that second phase since it had reached maturity.

Using that framework, I think that the ratio of builders to maintainers at Tesla is not healthy right now. It seems VERY healthy at SpaceX, for example. They're innovating on new technology AND on efficiencies of the existing tech and logistics.

The builders got them to where they are (I'm still a generally happy Model 3 owner), but the maintainers are the ones who make the maintenance and service experience great, incrementally improve manufacturing, parts availability, all those unsexy things that have more to do with logistics, building superchargers etc.

Because they are too lopsided with builders, they keep inventing new stuff instead of continuing to innovate with EVs. For a while there were enough builder type challenges with manufacturing but even those challenges seem to be exhausted.

I'm surprised to see that they've gutted the supercharger team because it seems like the ultimate "services" sector where they're in better shape than anyone else to make basically free "services" type money from ALL EVs in coming years with NACS.
>I bet you can have a better life in Portugal or Greece than Alabama, Mississippi

Most people need to earn money through labor, and earning money is much easier in Alabama or Mississippi than in Portugal or Greece unless you have one of those jobs where it does not matter where in the world you live as long as the internet connectivity is reliable.

Some are going be tempted to reply that that might be true for people whose earning target is sufficiently high, but for just earning the median income, Portugal or Greece is easier. I disagree: I say it applies all along the continuum of incomes.

If you are disabled (unable to earn money) or have all the money you will ever need (as savings), then yeah, you can have a better life in Portugal or Greece.
I rented a Tesla and did a East Coast to West Coast journey in a week and the Tesla did all the work for me for charging planning. I had never driven a Tesla or any EV at that point and I figured it out in about 5 mins on how to drive and how to plan charging after playing with the computer. I didn't think about it at all, and a week later got the charging bill from the rental company and it was hilariously cheaper than gas.

That's the advantage
> Russia has attacked basically every neighboring country in Europe that is not in NATO.

That's not true, Russia has participated or initiated the following wars in the greater European area (i.e. excluding Syria for example, but including the Caucasus) after the USSR collapsed:

* Georgia (a couple of times)

* South Ossetia

* Abhkazia

* Transnitria (part of Moldova)

* Chechnya (also a couple of times)

* Dagestan

* Ukraine

Mostly,these were local conflicts inherited from the USSR or border region disputes, not country invasions like in Ukraine.

Russia did not invade, or threaten to invade, any of its main European neighbours:

* Finland (which only became NATO last year)

* Norway and the Baltic states (members of NATO)

* Azerbajan

* Turkey (border by sea)

A lot of bad things are happening already, no need to make things up.
FWIW, over the past ten years I've pieced together the largest collection of MCA DiscoVision LDs in the world.

My goal all along has been to digitally preserve it for all.

I have a background which lies at the intersection of embedded programming, broadcast engineering, and video restoration, so I definitely have the technical chops to do so, but what I lack is time since I have three young children at home.

It's somewhat stressful having what would otherwise be a neat retirement project hanging over your head in your 30s, but I feel fortunate enough to possess so many rare pieces.

I just wish I had someone passionate about it to share it with in order to give me drive when my drive is low.
