Why would he volunteer any information on that situation at all. Seems incredibly foolish.

> It is not possible to do "innovation" with megaprojects

I generally agree but I think the are examples of some successful projects that did innovate. You could probably consider Gemini + Apollo a single megaproject as they were designed to run consecutively, building towards the moon.

It could just be the tasks and goals one sets for one's self. Or as basic as hyper focusing on coding to until you realized all grocery stores have closed for the night and you don't have any food in the house.

> Artificially restricting the number of people who can go to medical schools by imposing ridiculous requirements is not going to make better surgeons; it will mostly just drive up prices like in the US.

This is largely untrue. A recent debate: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/k2ofqw/the_a...

I am also curious. How does this person just decide to stop paying rent? I think we would all love to do same but paying for housing is really the only option if you want to remain in a city where you already have an established network of friends, family, etc. The only thing I can think of is a communal living situation in a rural area.

Edit: sibling comment posted as I was typing. Apparently its couch-surfing and religion.

I think you are trivializing problems that many people struggle with. From my understanding hyperfocus is not at all "being able to focus on a task at hand" but rather being unable to focus on anything other than a specific task. Often this task is often NOT what should be worked on during the allotted time.

For most people the value provided by using the modern web, which for all intents and purposes requires JS, far outweighs the risks.

There are of course exceptions, those in particularly sensitive situations, but in those cases other precautions should be taken as well.

And yes, the text based browser you use may see fewer security patches in the change log, but it is also far less tested. The user base is just not there. If no JavaScript is that important to you it can easily be disabled in Firefox and I'd wager you'd come out ahead in terms of security.

They don't mean the actual cells but the tech supporting them. Layout of the cells, battery management system, battery cooling system, charging circuitry, motor controller, etc. These are the hard parts and they are custom Tesla designs.

Oh please. Is this suppose to be some sort of gotcha about the dangers of using JavaScript? I don't see how the existence of hardware level (CPU) vulnerability that could impact any software, including the browser itself, applies here.

If you refuse to use a modern web browser, that's a totally valid choice, but doing it based on some misguided notion of security is nonsensical.

If by aging millennials you mean people from 25 to 35 years of age then that is the often the largest and most sought after demographic for any product...

I do agree on the politics of googlers though: once released its ignored.

Completely agree, I was searching the comments to make sure someone pointed this out. The vector here is the how the injection occurred and not whatever the injected script is doing. Once code is injected its game over.

The US has built many nuclear plants in modern times and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, they are all in naval warships. I wish the same political will could be applied to civilian nuclear research at least.

This was very evident with Altered Carbon as well. First season felt like it had a budget on par with the best blockbusters. Second season had the budget of some cut rate 90s SciFi show on a third tier cable network.

That's great to hear. I want to thank you for your work on Nomad. Its been a pleasure to use and has allowed us to scale without unnecessary complexity.

I feel like if you were to devote huge a chunk of the top engineering talent in the world for 10 years, as was done with the moon missions, then it would certainly happen.

If you took pictures please consider adding them to the Wikipedia page. There seem to be relatively few available.

> Note that this is a truth; the only real variable is whether it's acknowledged to be true or not. Anyone who disputes it has their thumb on the scale in one way or another, consciously or unconsciously.

Could you elaborate on the actual argument for why this is the case. On the surface it seems like the opposite of what you are claiming can just as easily be true depending on the situation. For example take a widely used utility lib such as lodash or jQuery. In your scenario there are two options:

1. Use lodash via a package manager and rely on the lodash team to fix bugs, write tests, and add new useful utilities over time.

2. Fork lodash and take on the maintenance burden yourself. You are responsible for keeping up with security vulnerabilities and making patches. You are responsible for writing high quality tests for the parts of your code that diverge for the original.

Think about how much ramp up time is required for new hires to become familiar with a company's codebase. Why would you ever want to devote that amount of time to maintaining code that for the vast majority of businesses is already "good enough". For some companies the engineers working on the open source project may even be more competent than the resources available in house. Sure there may be edge cases were performance or security is absolutely paramount, and in those this approach may make sense, but not for the majority of generic CRUD apps.

I would have a very tough time trying convince a competent manager that it is beneficial to devote so many man hours to this task rather than to business logic, new app features, etc.

Could this not be solved by by Grindr setting up CORS properly for that resource? It's unlikely anyone would ever open the script directly in their browser.

> In the past couple of weeks I've made a point of writing out the ideas and reasoning behind what I'm doing before writing any code. What I'm finding is I spend a relatively long amount of time at this, but even without writing code, I'm finding issues with my solutions on paper.

I've done this for a long time and have observed similar benefits, but I often just type out the plan in a text editor with lot of bullet points instead. Do you find that physically writing aids in the process?

Well, considering the Model 3 Performance starts at $50k and the M3 at $70k, winning at all is impressive. I agree with the OP, there are a lot of problems with the Model 3, but most serious automotive journalists have concluded it drives incredibly well.

I believe many breeds can have a black coat.

I'm not sure how owning a bike qualifies you as "the tech elite"

> whats' to stop someone from bringing a few gallons of chemical explosives in their backpack, mixing them in the lavatory, and blowing up the plane?

Same thing that stops people from blowing up buses, trains cars, shopping malls, movie theaters, etc: not much. There just isn't a sufficient incentive and will to do such things.

> Many of the PHP extensions are direct exposure to underlying libraries. MySQL introduced a 'real escape string' in their client library, PHP exposed that directly. Had they ignored it, or renamed it, or changed param order, people would have complained about that too, no?

Don't most ecosystems use some type of namespace for that instead of exposing everything as global functions? Those practices were quite late to the PHP community.

I've been very pleased with Nomad. It strikes a good balance between complexity and the feature set. We use it in production for a medium sized cluster and the migration has been relatively painless. The nomad agent itself is a single binary that bootstraps a cluster using Raft consensus.

Isn't that the advantage though, that you can do exactly that without concern.

> deno run --allow-write=~/only-evil-here http://dangerous.com/evil.ts

I think it works fairly well for the use case of a scripting runtime instead of an application runtime. Consider a common command such as:

> curl -fsSL https://myapp.io/install.sh | sh

Thats pretty scary. It might do anything to user data. The deno sandbox would offer more assurances of course:

> deno run --allow-write=~/.myapp https://myapp.io/install.sh

You know it would only access what you expect. Same with another command:

> deno run --allow-read=./my-data.csv https://data-app-thing.io/visualize-data.ts my-data.csv

It's as described, a browser, not a server platform.

You're responding to a comment claiming that technical questions are not as important by saying you passed all the technical questions. I was on the fence about OPs theory, but this comment does not help your case. You didn't really process the feedback, even if you don't agree with it. They might look for that.

This seems a like a false equivalence to me. There is far more than just Amazon that has facilitated the benefits you described. The Internet, portable computing, etc. all played a role in the general standard of living increase. If Amazon had not become dominant entity its very possible that another or many other competing players could have done things differently.

It's a lot harder to argue that another player in the market could have filed the niche that Elon identified and continues to expand.
