it's still hard to understand the motivation, because these husks of companies with large debts (like toys r us) keep ending up defaulting on their loans. so at the least, the people that make those big loans lost. I pay moderate attention to my 401k, but I notice (at least when I look :-)) when I have a giant loss. How can these bond or loan companies afford to lose so much and stay in business?
I used my own experience working in a variety of companies including large corporations, and the way they sometimes told us information ahead of earnings and how cautious we needed to be about when we might sell something. I have never been more than a second level dev manager, but I can't imagine how this could happen by accident. So I had required training, cautions every quarter ahead of time, reminders when there was an open period, reminders about not talking to the press. This isn't rocket science. So someone who works on earnings announcements, knows the quarterly facts early, has experience with this just forgot or something? It's not credible.
It's very unlikely that he didn't know about the security problems, that hadn't be released. I'd say about 99.9% chance that he knew. We know that it's very tempting for otherwise intelligent people to fall victim to this, like our favorite domestic lifestyle wallstreet-er CEO, Martha Stewart.
Well, you could deliberately enter false credentials to your old email addresses, checking if you were connected to the real world, mixed in with some correct creds. And see if it works as expected. But this is pretty hard to remember. Suppose you just wanted to do this with a variety of gmail addresses just using memory. Would they still be even working? I probably have about 10-15 passwords I use frequently enough that I could use them to verify if I was connected to the real thing. I could enter a few fakes. It's an interesting question, how can you tell if you are in a vr or not via credential checking with deliberate fakes.
Meets Altered Carbon. But if you wake up in virtual reality, when you enter your key, how can you keep them from taking it from you? You'll never know if you are being man-in-the-middled.
I think the reason they don't do this is because we, the consumers, are not the paying customer to the credit bureaus. We have to defend against them messing things up for us. They can give out credit in our names that we then have to pay, or spend lots of time and money fighting against.
If they were consumer focused, like say a bank, they would make it easier to control. If the credit bureaus had to pay for the fraud, they'd try to control it more intelligently, like banks. If they did that it would hurt their business somewhat, because it would make it harder for people using their services, businesses trying to sell me a car or whatever.
yeah, herbalife is like a lot of the mlm schemes, taking advantage of the poor and disadvantaged. maybe now that he's given up on it, it will conveniently just die? just because you know something is doomed it doesn't mean you know when it dies.
It's at least true for the foreseeable future that he'll be the leader. Just like you don't know if a current relationship will persist through the end of your lives until one of you dies. :-)
Those people are free to move to the us, free to petition to join as states. How do you think Hawaii and Alaska did it? I can move to those places. A better argument might be that poor people are actively disenfranchised by people they don't politically support.
Exactly - we'll lose the long haul easier to automate truck driving jobs first and that will decimate the employment of the field. That's the easy part.
actually tesla's ability to deal with dynamism (even without lidar) is something that puts them ahead of most cars. the famous waymo required pre-mapped roads, it didn't work on changes. They even had lidar and they had that restriction. I don't know if they've relaxed it since then.
Yes exactly, they don't clarify at all that the full driving capability is after they finish the hardware. and they have taken forever. I'm glad I have a hw1 tesla. it works, not full automation but a lot of good features like tacc
all those people "blocking you" already moved to seattle, it's just going to get worse. so lets deal with reality. certainly there is a limit to the number of people our infrastructure can handle comfortable. As someone who rides a bus to work each day, we are past that limit already.
We should do both, both will get expensive. It does seem wrong that we aren't building to ballard at the same time we are building through bellevue to go to microsoft. But the whole thing takes so freaking long, I want to start working on all segments at once, subject to our capacity to plan.
There was a server problem, and it was fixed. Tesla was upfront about the problem and pushed out updates to resolve it. Compare this to all other auto dealers - hiding problems, not fixing them, no ability to improve them online. Tesla has a generally well designed system, with separate computer systems running the drive train and the 'entertainment' console, you can reboot the big panel without affecting driving the car.
One other thing, notice at the start of the article they say "the cash was contaminated with fentanyl and other street drugs". Back in the 80s and 90s, this was used as an excuse for why the cops would seize people's money in the us - often it was a poor person without ability to challenge it. One of many problems with this was that all cash was "contaminated", having some trace of drugs. Canada should strive not to fall into the civil forfeiture hole we have in the us, where the govt seizes people's property separately from charging them with crimes, because it dirty drug money or something. of course they should stop money laundering, but the govt should strive to use factual reasons for taking someone's money.
I'll grant you that is somewhat true. The manager should get the hell out of the way and help his team be successful. That's the goal. Also, figure out the needs of your team members. Maybe one of them is a little too sensitive about code review comments. Or doesn't make accurate estimates of their work. Help them to address these issues so they can be more productive and more successful. Similarly, figure out what your boss needs from your team, and work to deliver that. Being a manager ain't so hard, unlike grammEr.
toyota prius have this problem. there was another problem, you couldn't set a mapping address while it was driving (even if you were the passenger). the soln was some kind of inline clip that cut the wire conceptually that was telling the mapping system the car was moving.
It's an old worry. For years people have complained about microsoft word's hegemonic recommendations. I've read articles where 'real writers' had to turn off the recommendations, it was messing them up. Today we have less of a world wide leader (would google's algorithms be number one?), so there's less chance of one thing winning.
I've always wondered, why don't they have fences a few feet from the edge of the platform, with many open gates? Then you could stand at the fence without being able to be pushed into the train's path. Since they aren't on the edge, you could get off the train okay. It would reduce free movement but would not matter unless there was heavy traffic - and in that case, it would be welcomed, by me at least.
Let's see if I can do this with ascii art, just for fun:
There's no point to these early Fuschia review attempts. I don't see how it demonstrates anything. It's like looking at the famous first email from Linus Torvald and figuring out what the os would be in the end. So it boots, it has windows, but not apps, and prints some things to the screen. It tells us nothing about real intentions, future capabilities, etc.
