bradbury's stance on Fahrenheit 451 is what convinced me that authorial intent is irrelevant.

OTOH the vast vast majority of people who will be reading this will be mathematicians who are familiar with the jargon. IMO it's perfectly fine for wikipedia to optimize for the primary audience, instead of optimizing for the rare curi

I'm just baffled by this narrative about a shadowy cabal of nefarious short sellers. Is the claim that there is no reason to have legitimate concerns about Tesla? Honestly it just reeks of people being in over their heads regarding the

Why are you so hostile? It is eminently clear in OP's comment that we are talking about transportation in cities. Even if it wasn't, you could give OP the benefit of the doubt.

not sure I follow; what's so interesting there? Wouldn't a continuous output ultimately have to be translated into a discrete action anyway?

was this comment supposed to contribute anything? We've already went over those. Most reasonable people would probably not prefer to sit here and reiterate the same points multiple times. edit: And as was explained - they hardly have a

I don't understand why you're so intent on doubling down here. There are other strategy games out there that focus on strategy more than micro mechanics. Why not play those instead? I don't think "I want to play Starcraf

I'm trying to read through it and I have to agree, his math isn't that clear to me. What do you recommend?

thanks for this comment. I was reading the article thinking "do people really use stepwise / all-subsets regression these days?", but your point is fair.

In fact, a lot of the gigafactory tech is Panasonic's. They lead the battery cell manufacturing at the factory.

I use a white noise generator at night as I live near a major street. More customizable than a fan, extremely compact, and won't affect the temperature. Just putting this out there so people in similar situations become aware of this o

I get these cynical responses, but ultimately don't many HN readers - me included - want this kind of law too? Why are people so hung up about the guy's motivations? seems like a case of letting perfect be the enemy of good

1. western countries developed faster and started all this mad consumption and environmental abuse. Everyone else is copying us 2. the west is in the best position to start addressing this. Better educated, more prosperous, etc. 3. Much of

The only reason we have free online content to consume is because content creators expect to be reimbursed through ads. When I block ads I am free-riding off of people that don't. Whether this is stealing or not is semantics, and I don

I'm quite certain GP meant intel / information / analysis. Slightly abnormal word choice

yes, agreed completely. In general I've come to this conclusion: avoid buying hardware from small/lesser-known companies if possible. It doesn't matter how cool their tech is - what I'm sacrificing is not worth it. Every

uh, what? take care not to overgeneralize your personal experiences anyway, their pool of available actions is still constrained by user preference, even if you believe facebook is that crucial.

it actually got better for me later on. The first half was horrifying. But at the emerald cockroach wasp and onwards I wasn't as repulsed, as cockroaches are disgusting, and the rest - toxoplasmosis, rabies, influenza - aren't eas

It's literally his job to talk to investors. He explicitly invited those questions, too. Obviously it would be boring to you as a layman with no money on the line. I'm sure I'd be bored too. That's not relevant though.

You've clearly wrapped up way too much of your identity in Musk. If you actually care about his enterprises you should care about their financial sustainability. Want to kill Tesla? Do you understand who he was talking to? These people

GP noted that "some Chinese cuisines" are underrated. Emphasis on "cuisines." China is huge - food can be divided into 8 regional cuisines. In the US you mostly see 2 - Cantonese and Szechuan - and no, Chinese-American d

LA has similar problems as well, so you're stuck either way. Price of paradise I suppose.

unfortunately, I can assure you that NIMBYism is alive and well in LA too. Maybe not as bad as SF (I don't know how to compare), but even if that's true, unless regulation occurs this is just kicking the can down the road

Absolute BS. The only reason you would perceive YT to be "left-leaning" is that advertisers in general don't want to be associated with alt-right content. YT is merely mirroring the biases of the advertisers.
