What do you mean by "same people"? Who are these people? The comment you're responding to certainly doesn't specify, but somehow you know that they're the same as the people who said whatever batshit thing you think they said.
I'm prepared to be wrong though. I searched the internet for six whole minutes and found no evidence of even a single person, let alone the group of people you say exist.
I'm not changing it to be more corpo-propriate now.
Look, I'm not wanting to be rude here, and this is obviously all hypothetical since you're likely not actively pitching to investors, but if you were, being stubborn in this way would be a deal breaker for me as an investor.
I see all the reasons you have for keeping it, and they're reasonable, but the mere idea that that's a hill you're willing to die on is a red flag. I'd see this as one of many potential points of friction. Where else will you choose to not make compromises?
Maybe it's not rational on my part, but you're trying to convince irrational entities to part with their money.
You could look at it this way: if someone offered $17M to change it, would you?
"Listen, I'm no doctor, but your shit stinks in a way that makes me think you need to see one," said while you're in the stall next to him, or any other time, couldn't hurt.
If you'd kept reading the sentence, you wouldn't be asking the questions you're asking.
A product can be both, according to the current US administration
The person you're responding to isn't trying to convince you that a tent is two things, they're telling you that the US government wants you to believe a tent is two things.
I am a good hacker, and I find this interesting. This is on topic and should not be flagged. When an influential tech leader says "Silicon Valley can’t be neutral any longer", I want to hear what they have to say. I want to hear what the HN community has to say about it.
people with real knowledge on the subject
...tend to be qualified to write a lot of books on the subject.
I don't think you're being fair. You're turning "I don't like the framing" into "a culture war".
Every time I read about them arresting somebody...
You're clearly not reading enough and are a part of the problem if you believe what you're saying to be true.
Indiscriminate can be defined as "done at random or without careful judgment" - I think the latter part of that definition perfectly describes ELITE.
I find it nonsensical to dismiss an anti-ICE argument because of one word.
No
Given that, I'd suggest not offering "alternatives" to the features described in TFA for a service you've never used. There are people here talking about oranges, a lot of them with domain expertise, and you're not just talking about apples, you're talking about bird migrations.
Get this: I've used what you guys built back then almost every day for the past 20 years. (also, long time no see - we should catch up).
Most macOS keyboard commands that let you cycle between things (like windows or applications) can be "reversed" by adding the SHIFT key.
So CMD+TAB+SHIFT cycles in the opposite order of from CMD+TAB, etc.
Good luck trying to paint the picture that AppleCare is a waste of money. I've owned hundreds of Apple products since AppleCare became a thing. I've "had to use it" once, and that one use replaced a $4500 product for $0. The ROI on AppleCare always works out.
In the context of Hacker News, when the "worked conclusions" are that of an AI (however accurate or well trained), yes, I suspect that people tend to prefer that less than the opinion of a random stranger.
I'm here for the people. No AI is going to tell me what you think about something.
I obviously can't say for sure, but my guess for why you're being downvoted: we don't need humans telling us what the AIs think. We're all capable of knowing that for ourselves.
What I'd guess most of us are interested in is what you have to say.
You keep using the words "favorite president", yet the quote you're picking at isn't concerned with Zuckerberg's favorite president. The quote says "America's best president and 'it's not even close'."
That is a very different thing than "favorite president" - that's someone who believes they're being objective, that there's no arguments to be made about what others should see as a simple fact.
Do you have any links to where this plan is described?
I think ousting Musk would be a marketing win for Tesla, and likely the only path to staying in business at this point.
Most people I talk to about Tesla, some of whom were diehard Musk-can-do-no-wrong fans as recently as last year, tend to share similar sentiments with me today.
This article is about the defunct online bank.
Assuming you meant X.com (formerly known as Twitter) - in no universe is there a Twitter cofounded by Musk.
I've actually only put about 50k miles on myself, but it's still perfect for my needs. Battery health isn't at 100% any more, but I still get an actual 250-300 miles of range.
Mechanically, the car is solid. Doesn't rattle or squeak. Clear, chip-free windows. No quirks of any kind, really. Pretty remarkable considering the number of miles on it. I have a Toyota van with fewer miles and with the exception of the bullet proof engine, the rest is barely holding itself together. Had a window literally just fall off it recently, as the glue had given up.
I know Musk's antics are impacting my ability to sell my own car - someone recently drew the word "swasticar" (which is pretty clever, I'll admit) in the layer of salt/dirt/grime one gets during the winter on my car. I have to think that had something to do with Elon.
Local used inventory has rapidly grown as well recently. I've been checking weekly for about a year, and today, there are probably 3x as many available on the market than there were a year ago. Obviously there are a lot of variables at play when it comes to used markets, but I doubt I'd be wrong to believe that Elon's behavior has contributed to that.
Elon Musk's charisma
What little charisma Elon Musk had in 2019 had no influence on my decision to buy a used Model 3 at the time. If anything, Musk's "charisma" pushed me away from Tesla entirely, but the car's performance and charging network wasn't just better than the competition, it was fantastic, period. Elon or not, the deal I eventually got on a used one was worth it.
Today, 250k miles later? Because of Elon Musk's "charisma", I'm both highly motivated to sell it, but also can't. That's because you're not entirely wrong. Turns out, when a celebrity billionaire starts let his evil show openly, the products he shills start to lose their appeal.
You can't just replace Musk and Tesla starts selling a 25k car.
Can't you?
As a shareholder, I'd welcome a proposal to fire Elon Musk, whether his replacement could produce a 25k car or not. It's clear to me that he has no interest in the success of the brand and will gladly see it fizzle if he has his way.
Didn't DeepSeek train on Nvidia hardware though?
I can't see how DeepSeek hurts Nvidia, if Nvidia is what enables DeepSeek.
How is this bad advice?
keep up your software engineering best practices
It's not a best practice to over-engineer solutions, and indeed, it is a best practice to find the right solution.
To be fair, you can choose still by declining employer provided/subsidized coverage. The cost of doing so, of course, makes it very much not worth it.
On impulse a few years ago I decided to drive our Model 3 on a multi-state road trip that'd take us through Colorado, Utah, Nevada, California, up through Oregon, then back to Colorado instead of our perfectly fine ICE car. I use the car mostly for local, sub-50 mile drives, which it excels at, and never considered it as a road trippable car (less because of the powertrain and more because of lack of road trips in general).
I have zero regrets about picking the EV at the last minute, and would 100% make this choice again. I assumed, like I imagine most people do, that having to wait while charging would be a deal breaker. I quickly learned to love the wait though. It makes long road trips so much more comfortable when you take a break every 6 hours that's long enough to go for a walk or take a nap.
I could employ that strategy with an ICE car, sure, but if I compare my ICE to my EV, the differences between the two in terms of comfort, functionality, and cost of operating put the EV way out ahead of the ICE.
There's no reason you should be getting downvoted for this, and I say this as someone who loves their Model 3. You're stating a fact about yourself that is, at the very least, loosely relevant to the posted article.
It's like a bunch of people who are a fan of the color yellow got mad when you said you're not a fan of yellow.
Are those Omada based routers? For the price, I've been very impressed with the Omada based APs from TP-Link. All of my equipment is configurable through a web based interface that's served by a Windows app (or through an available hardware controller).
My daily average isn't too much better and I have no concerns. I know that the time not spent writing code is spent reading code, working within processes that ensure security/quality/performance/whatever, improving my skills, or any other number of things that ultimately make the value of that code worth far more than it would without that rigor.
Never bad advice to get your eyes checked, but I may not have described it well enough.
I used to see a similar thing with a flatbed scanner that used RGB LEDs instead of a CFL tube. You could often see the flicker of the PWM signal they were likely using to control the brightness of the LEDs as solid flashes of red, blue, or green.
GP post said: "if you are sensitive for temporal hijinks" - I think I'm just really sensitive to temporal hijinks, especially in my periphery. I suspect most people are, as our eyes have higher concentration of rods to detect movement in our peripheral vision.
I've noticed that the quality of light I get out of a constant current light meant for videography is fantastic and has none of these "temporal hijinks", and I think it's because it simply doesn't flicker.
Still - none of this is said to undermine your good advice.
