Nissan and GM already have vehicles. I believe Ford has recently changed their stance and are making their own.

Tesla had outstanding marketing but failed in mass production.

SpaceX claiming to put humans on mars in our lifetime, an active reddit marketing team, elon's twitter, and a worldwide desire to reduce gasoline usage- All fantastic marketing.

Everyone is aware of the production issues, shoddy engineering, and people are getting wiser to Elon's outrageous claims.

I dont know if there is a way to save Tesla. It already peaked in popularity.

There were hundreds of alt coins before ETH, they were bitcoin copypastes and no one cared.

When you start talking about offchain ETH solutions or using multiple ETH systems to scale, you are removing the only thing that provides value from Blockchain - Trust.

When an ETH sidechain can get 51% attacked or the entire system is verified through a few centralized locations, you remove the only reason you should use blockchain.

I used to drink the ETH koolaid, I now realize blockchain shouldnt be used for apps.

You were happy at different jobs and in a relationship.

Could you replicate similar in a 5 and 10 year plan?

It had the lessons of Bitcoin and hundreds of dead alt coins.

Every time ETH gets used for an app, it takes down/log jams the network.

I dont think it will be possible to use blockchain to power the web. Slow, unreliable, and expensive.

Using blockchain for a web database is a gigantic waste of bandwidth and money.

Ethereum flopped as it couldnt scale, and outside casino games, people dont care about decentralized verification.

My programming circle likes bitcoin but is totally against using blockchain for everything else.

> Also shocking, AAPL is already worth $1.1T

This is why shorts on FAANG are so high.

Seeing GM, who has a gigantic infrastructure that is paid off being worth 60B, but Apple has... fans? Patents?

Tech if anything can be changed in years.

I believe in Amazon and Google due to the sheer use from consumers and business, but Apple is not like these.

They have a segregated population of non-business consumers using 1 product in an increasingly saturated and competitive market. I dont know if I'm allowed to say this on HN-

My (work) iphone has significantly less features than my pixel/android. Apple needs to innovate NOW.

I can confirm I know more and likely am stronger than every hunter gatherer.

Hunter gatherers didnt know what chemicals to mix to create a battery, or use that battery to power magnets, and that if you power them in the correct order you can spin things, and with spinning, you have our modern way of moving energy.

I also lift weights, likely unbelievable weights that couldnt be sustained for a hunter gatherer due to lack of food.

Size doesnt matter as much as environment. I have an abundance of food and information, while this was scarce 10,000 years a go.

Social media is just as untrustworthy as traditional news.

Friends sharing news/propaganda from various outlets. Fake users astroturfing on reddit/twitter/HN/facebook/insta.

I dont know what the future is, but I'm positive its going to be first-hand sources. At least that way, you are going to be skeptical the entire time and that persons reputation is at stake.

>Two of my coworkers are currently being forced to look for a new place to live in a tight housing market because their current landlord can make more money renting on Airbnb

Isnt this economics? Travelers are moving money to your location. Your coworkers wont pay the increased rate, but travelers will.

Why are travelers looked down upon? New ideas, patronage in the city, and creating relations around the world.

Why is CSV bad?

I'm a huge fan of SQL, but curious what pitfalls CSV has.

They probably mean in places that C or C++ would be used.

Embedded systems should be made 'simple' and C++ is the opposite of that.

But I agree with your comment. I found the alternatives equally as harmful, especially as they have a smaller community.

>In fact, the former president of the DCB has said that bitcoin mania is “worse” than tulip mania: “At least then you got a tulip.”

How can someone in such a high position say this? Are they unaware of the rarity/scarcity of Bitcoin? Are they unaware that you can send BTC over the internet?

I can see if people were skeptical of using altcoins that print infinity money or sending money to people was a solved problem- But that is not whats going on.

Serious question- why is someone in this position so 'stupid'?

>standards of code here are so much lower

What do you mean?

In the early 2000s, we didnt have trillion dollar companies.

Its been a decade from the last economic recession.

Past performance doesnt indicate future performance.

I wont deny that top talent is located in Cali and washington, but the situation has changed an incredible amount.

I believe this is a dying problem. The next social media will be based around a real life user.

First name, last name, photo, home address(or similar). Everything verified or at least enough for people to feel like they are talking to real people.

Given how easily reddit is astroturfed by Aldi, Tmobile, Samsung, Tesla, Donald Trump, and more, the next gen social media will revolve around real people rather than usernames and corporate accounts.

This hits home the most in Industrial Engineering.

That field was not invented by academics, that was done by industry, and academia realized there was demand to teach it.

Getting a PhD in Industrial Engineering seemed like a contradiction. The studies my professors were pushing seemed useless and untestable. I tried to make suggestions towards my interests, using big data on life at home, or specific ergonomic issues were useful to every human alive.

When I left both my meetings with the professors, I realized I would be at their whim for the next 4-6 years.

>Yet little has really changed. Academia is still largely a medieval guild, with a few powerful elites, many slave-like apprentices, and members who hold a monopoly on the research patronage of princes and the teaching of their sons. Outsiders still complain about bias, saying their evidence is ignored, and many observers [Gh,Re,Syk,Tu] have noted some long-standing problems with the research component of academia.

I dont consider 'research' science. I consider engineering more scientific.

You dont get to fudge data when you need things to work. Things need to work. And if you did mess up, you will keep working until things 'work'.

Academia produces a paper and these are rarely verified.

I can only speak about the times me and my wife had taken it together.

It gave us an ability to talk about everything. Nothing weird, just a fantastic conversation.

The next morning-

>I had 2 TVs side by side as monitors(previously, she was worried about 'what the neighbors would think'.)

>We had our finances planned for how we would deal with upcoming house work.

>We learned about each other during sex, nothing weird, just better.

This is the big stuff that others can likely relate to. It was like 3 hours of fantastic conversation.

Not to mention digits SUCKS.

My wife used this for her business since it was free at the time. It cost her literally thousands of dollars of missed/unconnected calls and dozens of hours of customer service.

After being a Tmobile customer for 6 years(and leaving this year), I do not trust a word they say.

Here is a list of unethical things they've done-

>Claim UNLIMITED when restricting people at 10gb hotspot and 50gb data. Their depriortization is unusable, but they claim otherwise.

>They sent their social media marketing team to astroturf in an /r/frugal thread critical of tmobile.

>Their customer service person canceled a plan and added a plan when moving around numbers. I dont know if this was intended or an accident, but after 2 months of paying extra, I asked for a refund, the store wouldnt do it. I had to call. This was a 2 hour process.

So 2M customer data? Says tmobile.

So no passwords stolen? Says tmobile.

I remember when they were 'the good guys'.

Let me say thanks for vocalizing the problems you were running into. Googling axios for the third time this week...

Experienced will tell you the refuse to release without X Y and Z because if B happens your server will crash.

Junior wont even know the problem and hack it together.

But hey, thats what reddit /r/askprogramming is for... right?

I completely agree.

What if losing the war causing you to go into exile multiplies by 0.

Irresponsible IMO. I run a data website and I find quantifying things like Protein Per Second somewhat hard to quantify given things like Beef Jerky, McDonalds and the variable distance to a location, etc... But the claim isnt that this is 'the best ever'. The claim is that you can use the data to make your own decisions.

Too much buzzfeed quality content exists, I'm glad people are objecting to irresponsible data.

Pretty much sounds like my situation.

Work your butt off until your late 20s, live cheap, have enough money to stop caring.

I work a day job because I like my coworkers. Sure I'd probably need to work at least a minimum wage job for the rest of my life to survive, but right now I could live for 5 years on my investments.

That kind of security changes things, I do things out of interest and enjoyment.

I get paid great at my job, but its an extra benefit of the necessary social atmosphere I need to be around daily. I tried working alone and I hated it.

Very quickly for professionals, life stops being about survival but rather fulfillment. I live frugal so I can spend money on grand projects.

My only wish is that tutorials/frameworks would name everything with Foo

like iFoo, or listFoo, etc... When using these, I often dont know whats an Object that cannot be changed, and whats a variable.

Sure you can play around with it, but I feel like I've lost plenty of time trying to understand other's code.

Absurdity, silliness, and foolishness.

A blanket 'Stop buying products from companies with an address in a location that pays taxes to the US government' is foolish.

Up until there is violent war, you are going to lose on your boycott.

Target malicious companies and policies, not an overtly radical 'line in the sand'.

You dont like Apple because their aggressive approach to control over hardware and software? Boycott them. I havent bought an Apple product in my lifetime.

But to stop using a fantastic web server company hosted in New Jersey with 50 employees is silly.

I find this clickbait.

>The problem with the current social media age is that it is difficult to tell how serious a problem really is.

And ofc, Tesla gives stories to people who write favorably about it. Elon has his one sided twitter propaganda outlet.

One of the greatest issues is that despite lots of people online, only a few people have voices that are noticed.

I have a hard time understanding if this is bad.

Economics says that things are designed to work this way. You have felt the economic indicators and made changes accordingly.

The economy(you, your friends, your community, the world) benefits when you make profit. If your prior path was burdened with massive debt with little way to repay it, it sounds like a bad decision.

I cant imagine too many situations where doing something that pays significantly worse and puts you in more debt is better for society.

Its important to clarify these arent 'doctors', these are Physicians.

There are doctors of physical therapy who make 60-100k.

Physicians have a government monopoly on prescription and referrals.

The scarcity in MD and DO licenses drives up the cost due to the power granted by the license.

Eh, I scoff at Ford Motor company trying to get experienced people at 83k/yr.

Sure its a decent pay vs Walmart cashier, but once you are paid 115, you cannot go back.
