Don't have much of an opnion on him being good at the engineering stuff or not, and not saying I would bet on it, but I could see the logic in shorting TSLA either way, he's distracted, it seems possible that Tesla's customer

I've seen once or twice people admitting to doing this deliberately to get around brigading/doxxing rules when they actually do want to share the username or whatever - not sure if it's allowed because "they tried"

I think in the same way we have expensive cars or whatever to say "I have so much money I can afford to waste $x" we have suits to say "I'm so organised I can spare some effort dressing kind of impractically, just to loo

This is a good point, but on the other hand, couldn't any application be hijacked in the same way to include a keylogger/upload plaintext password DBs stored locally by browsers/etc? Somehow this hasn't happened on a mas

Mostly agree but if your diet is particularly bad, just eating less will mean existing nutrient deficiencies are magnified and (probably for this reason) you'll feel more hungry than you need to, increasing the chances you give up. IMO

Some companies, you can tell, have realised the word plastic has negative connotations and try to avoid it, normally they'll use the word polycarbonate instead, I think that was what they were playing on. (I myself hadn't realised

I guess you've heard it before but “Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. And, weak men create hard times.” I don't know whether it's true or not... hard to prove there'

Sometimes you come back to an area to fix a bug or whatever, and it's useful to know that the hack wasn't absolutely necessary, just a matter of time constraints - it may be that moving to the proper solution is the easiest fix fo

This feels like it proves the point, I believe this is true, but yet, for all situations that aren't very specific and technical, the earth is round, and saying otherwise will cause more confusion->harm than good.

So much emphasis on thinking about gear changes does seem a bit unfamiliar to me - but it could just be since my first driving experience was also manual, I was learning all this in the background while my main focus was trying not to hit a

People who are net-contributors feel like they're likely to eventually be elderly, and unlikely to become disabled, I guess (so the inverse of your feelings)- combined with deception by governments that social security programs are lik

More bluntly - if you're a greater-than-average user of healthcare resources, this seems like a dangerous line of questioning to bring up.

This is important to say - but I guess the question still stands, if they had somehow secretly developed nukes in say 2008, would they have been left alone? (and should we let everyone have them for world peace? I don't think I like th

I'm not sure if you're saying this as an argument for standardisation (ha, let's debate the spelling) or not, but these people will always find something, from frameworks to linting rules - the amount of discussion stays the

I'd never heard of the guy until now so maybe it's obvious but you do wonder in these situations, he must have realised that the questions were leading to an article but did he expect the transcript to be published verbatim?

So is a million, I've never got this surprisingly common argument based on population size, would it be fine for a country of 100,000 to do nothing/would a hypothetical country 10x the size of China be reckless if it didn't a

I've noticed a couple of LED bulbs (one with warnings that it's non-dimmable) where the PWM (presumably) means that even when I'm not looking for it, I'll move my hand quickly to grab something and it looks like I'm

More difficult to bot on iOS? If they're worried that their verification process might have flaws and don't want thousands of fake accounts on day 1 and all the bad press, the cost of the devices and difficulty in jailbreaking is

It's normally much easier to buy e.g. a computer, a mattress, various household chemicals than to get rid of them properly. We need to tackle one or both sides of this equation, or people will just dump stuff in their local river if yo

Had a similar experience: I think regrettably if the timescale is this short, no-one knows who to talk to (from other teams/the proper managers the level above), there's some need for memory/dealing with long-running things,

I mean, I'm not convinced by the comment, but I think the article is talking about managers of developers, nearly all of the people here are involved in development, mostly at companies which are predisposed to trying to replace humans

It's an example of the general problem, it would be better if Intel (and some "competitors" to keep prices low) could always perfectly adapt to new technologies etc, and retrain people. When they can't it's good com
