I’d recommend doing a Tesla test drive. I did it for giggles and immediately bought one.

Im actually a big truck person but I put my identity on pause (so to speak) because I loved the car so much.

Everyone who knows me can’t seem to process that I don’t have a truck.

(Also the test drive was very low key. Schedule online, Just greet the guy, and he sends you off on your own for a drive. No pressure when you come back either.)
> Also, a Camry is substantially cheaper to maintain and repair.

I wouldn't say this is a given. We've had a handful of small issues in 100k miles on our early-production 3 that I doubt a Camry would have had, but parts have been surprisingly cheap ($89 for a 12v battery direct from Tesla SC was cheaper than I could get one at Autozone, for example). I doubt I'll ever replace brakes, I'll never have to replace a timing belt, and battery pack coolant is supposedly lifetime unlike the coolant on the Camry.

I'm surprised more restaurants aren't suing DoorDash for damage to their reputation.

Inserting themselves unrequested into the ordering process, then delivering cold food, the wrong food, etc. the customers just blame the restaurant ultimately.
Leases right now are assuming much higher residuals for EV's than for ICE cars which is where much of the difference is coming from. It's hard to say whether that will turn out to be true or not, but if the manufacturer/dealer is willing to take that risk it might be a good idea to take them up on it.

From what I can tell there is a bug with the current implementation, but I have a hard time believing that had anything to do with Google's decision. If that's what they wanted, it'd be a lot easier to just check the user agent. Most people aren't savy enough to fake their user agent.

No - all web apps should be designed with the idea that the client only has a little CPU, ram and storage, and if the user tries to do something outside those capabilities, the server should do the work.

The recipients of the settlement are mixed about this. Some raised this suit because they felt the Sacklers were not sufficiently punished. Others felt that this was likely to be the best deal that could realistically achieved and dragging out proceedings in court for years and adding uncertainty of any settlement or victorious law suit was not worth the risks and emotional turmoil.
They learned it from the tobacco industry probably.

> many of the top programmers in South Korea

Odd statement. How did you know that the people you met are "top programmers?"
You can make it both stricter and more explicit. This is a 30 year old API from when C++ was a very different language. In a modern context, this example was explicitly designed to be as loosely checked as it is, it isn't intrinsic.

Backward compatibility means they can't change this API to not allow these cases even if it is straightforward to do so.
US$ 6bi to be disbursed across hundreds of local governments to use for settlements over millions of individuals is nothing compared to the damage the Sacklers inflicted. On top of that having a sweet deal to never see any future liability case is an egregious misjustice.

The minimum would be for them to be arrested, if we pushed drugs to someone who eventually dies from it we wouldn't be getting just a fine. At the scale they did it's simply inconceivable to me that paying a fine which is less than their profit is anywhere close to justice.
The cheap leases for EV's from other brands ($250/month for a Hyundai EV6 is a steal) rely on high residuals. So even if you can buy the vehicle back at the end of the lease there's a good chance you won't want to.
> 80% of Americans are happy with their personal lives

I think it's fair to point out that this number (actually 78% who say they are "satisfied" or "very satisfied" with their lives) is "near a record low".

https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2024/02/12/american-...

But I do agree, the "miserableness" online seems much greater than "the real world", but that's also kinda my point. So much tech is designed to addict you (i.e. doom scrolling), that I find I'm happiest when I get rid of tech from my life (leave my cell phone at home, go for long walks in nature, etc.) This wasn't the case for me in the 90s primarily because lots of tech was a nice diversion but not a constant negative distraction.

It's a shame xenon is an anesthetic. If it did not have that effect, one could pressure xenon until it was the same density as the body. It would still be a gas, and one could include some oxygen in it so one wouldn't suffocate (although breathing could be more laborious, perhaps require mechanical support).

Suspended in this gas, one could be subjected to much higher acceleration without injury, up the point that density differences in the body become important.
> Comparing cities doesn't makes for a serious comparison...?

No; comparing antiquity Rome (a city whose collapse is a subject of ongoing historical debate) to NYC (a city that was built 2600 years later) does not make for a serious comparison.

Better comparisons would be present-day Tokyo, London, Moscow, Paris, etc. These cities have similar infrastructural problems that they've been able to solve in ways that NYC hasn't, sometimes for political or historical reasons (e.g. being bombed so thoroughly that building new infrastructure is the only reasonable option).

> And to be clear, I love the NYC steam system, but for romantic reasons, not economic.

I don't love it, or hate it. I recognize that it's a piece of infrastructure, and that infrastructure comes with assumptions. You can either pay to maintain those assumptions, or pay to upend them. Either way, you pay. With NYC paying to maintain them is frequently optimal, since upending them requires revisiting other, even more costly assumptions.

For NYC's steam system, concretely: there's been no real public noise from ConEd about the system's unmaintainability or unsustainability. They recently agreed to a new rate/fee schedule with the state PSC[1], on which I can find no significant controversial reporting.

Edit: to make it more clear: ConEd's steam network provides heating and industrial steam to around 1500 buildings in Manhattan. That's 1500 buildings, most of which are near or over a century old, that would need to have steam boilers retrofitted into their basements (or have their entire steam plumbing ripped out and replaced with something else). That's a lot of time and money in already one of the world's most expensive labor markets.

A lot of misunderstanding about this comment. I think adding solar energy capacity to the energy supply mix is helpful. What I want to clarify is this, adding all energy supply has costs. Rare earth metals and other mining and habitat destruction that goes into increasing renewable supply needs to be considered. Like I said all additional energy supply has a cost.

The real problem is we need to reduce consumption. We also need to rework our energy supply chains with renewables when appropriate as well as nuclear that isn't vulnerable to meltdowns.

Agreed, you should make a decision on who is the CEO. Eventually this will become clear anyways, so just deal with the awkward situation now. When (if) you go out to raise money, the CEO should be the person doing outreach, pitching the vision, and closing deals - that might clarify who wants to take on the role.

Separately - it sounds like you're having trouble aligning and moving forward. Slapping on a CEO title won't resolve that. You'll have to get comfortable with conflict and a bias for action. The pricing question might not matter unless you have PMF - but your relationship could decline if you can't discuss and move forward without resentment.

A few things that might be helpful to read - (1) Radical Candor by Kim Scott, (2) Stripe's operating principles handbook.
It depends on what your personal views are here.

If you wanted the outcome of the case to be at least some money going towards opioid treatment, then this decision could jeopardize that outcome.

However, if you thought that the Sackler family being able to escape any personal liability despite the myriad of evidence of many of their involvement in stoking the opioid epidemic— and they still got to keep a very sizeable amount of the family fortune— is morally repugnant and legally dubious, then this court decision is a positive.

I would personally prefer many of the executives and members of the Sackler family to be held liable, their assets seized, and formal charges brought against them. But that’s unlikely
Idk if that's true you could hire me as CEO for much less.

> This is an absolutely absurd argument against spying. Should no one ever spy on Russia or North Korea just because they make a law against it?

It's not an argument against spying. It's an argument against saying that spying "is not illegal". When you're spying on Russia or North Korea, you are breaking Russian or North Korean law, and you can't avoid that by saying "but my own country's laws say otherwise". There are many cases in which breaking laws can be justified (the canonical example being breaking segregation laws in the USA some time ago), spying on Russia and North Korea might be one of these cases; but you're still breaking the law.

Huh, okay, I didn't know that, but apparently it is true.

Using clang, program #1:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
void * p = malloc(123);
void * q = realloc(p, 200);
printf("%p == %p -> %i\n", p, q, p == q);
free(q);
printf("%p\n", q);
return 0;
}

prints out:

0x5f867a8a9300 == 0x5f867a8a9300 -> 1
0x5f867a8a9300

Program #2: (only difference is the extra printf after malloc)

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv) {
void * p = malloc(123);
printf("%p\n", p);
void * q = realloc(p, 200);
printf("%p == %p -> %i\n", p, q, p == q);
free(q);
printf("%p\n", q);
return 0;
}

prints out:

0x5bcba8225300
0x5bcba8225300 == 0x5bcba82257a0 -> 0
0x5bcba82257a0

So if we print out the pointer before reallocation then they're not equal, but if we don't then they are equal.

Funny enough, "-fsanitize=undefined" doesn't seem to detect this. Neither does "-fsanitize=address" (but with ASAN the results are now consistent and in both cases compare to not equal).
The situation that you just described would be a pleasant improvement for many of the private sector sole proprietors and small business owners that I know.

Her situation sounds actually far more stable and easier than theirs in a variety of ways. Her client is likely quite well-established, and the risk of it "going out of business" or running into insurmountable funding issues is small. Her client will likely be feeding her a steady supply of work, without interruption, effectively forever. It doesn't sound like she has any marketing, advertising, or customer-acquisition overhead. She doesn't have the overhead of negotiating a contract and fees with each client. Her working conditions are likely quite safe and comfortable (as compared to those in the trades, for example).

I don't think she has much to complain about when compared to what those in the private sector have to deal with.

> "If you find a way to hire and fund thousands or millions of tutors worldwide to provide no charge education, get in touch with Sal Khan, since that's what he has been trying to do for the past 2 decades."

To add on to this, this is actually an existing project founded by Sal Khan in 2021 called "Schoolhouse" at https://schoolhouse.world/about. There was a recruitment drive to try and encourage undergraduate students at my university to volunteer as tutors, in exchange for a letter of reference and tutoring experience. I suppose that the program was effective at recruiting volunteers at my university, as it had official support from my university's administration—students received recruitment emails from a faculty member, rather than from an external email address.

But I'm unsure about the quality and effectiveness of the program with tutors as volunteers, as I wasn't involved in the program myself. I also predict that it's hard to retain talent, as professional tutors can earn a very high hourly rate—I've seen many independent tutors charge more than $60 per hour.
From the article:

> Harrington objected to the release of additional claims against the Sacklers, saying it would be unfair to potential future plaintiffs.

> Purdue criticized Harrington’s role, saying that groups representing thousands of plaintiffs have signed on to the settlement, which could not have happened without the Sackler family contribution.

The concern is the set of current plaintiffs is incomplete and those plaintiffs who are missing are going to be hurt by this and the bankruptcy judge over this decision does not have the authority to approve this deal despite the current set of plaintiffs wanting it.
In my experience, its always higher level management that doesn't want to change, not the labor people.

You're probably onto something. Being too big leads to problems. But also leads to power.

You can't fuck with the US/China, even if nukes were removed, because they are a massive force that will crush you beneath their heel. So there is mass power in unity. However you look at europe, and you see a lot of gains as well, where multiple smaller governments exist, and a unifying body was created to compete with the likes of the US without giving up their individuality. But also the US is distributed since states govern themselves with overarching federal oversight.

It is massively complex. At the end of the day we need not only a small anarchistic state, we also need reasons why some cult of personality won't be able to rally his million followers and start guns blazing taking over neighbors. Unfortunately I feel like democracy is the least bad system we got.
I wonder if Google is making Deepmind people switch from their cool original research to doing LLMs like everybody else.

I think SQL doesn't go away anytime soon and will live through GraphQL.

With distributed systems you probably interface another web api of some type instead of an SQL-DB and often it is just annoying.

Some people pretend that you shouldn't use any SQL-server today and instead use current-hipster-web-accessible-database. But these often just simply don't deliver, are expensive, have performance problems, lacking compatibility and a whole other issues.

edit: Some cloud consultants increasingly say that nobody uses SQL anymore. Makes me chuckle a bit.
