At his level who has had consistently more or the same level of success doing something similar to him? I don’t understand all the Elon hate lately outside of people being bias for the sake of the narrative.
I don't equate entrepreneurial success with knowing what you're talking about. Even Elon's entrepreneurial success is debatable with there being many stories of SpaceX and Tesla being successful despite Musk.
Wealth? There's like 0-3 others. So what? Lottery winners show no more skill than anyone else.
Visibility? Well, you've got Zuck (no what's-her-face in hiding from Meta anymore), not Jack Dorsey anymore, no Sergey or Larry or Bill or Steve... I can't think of anyone outside of tech. Clinton, Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden, they're more visible and seem to have a hard time keeping things together, especially since end of Bush, but they didn't fire half their workforce and make their operations break down frequently. I give Clinton and Obama decent marks for leaving the economy in a good shape for their successors to screw up. Jimmy Carter had great success in his endeavors.
Eptitude? I think the ept have avoided getting snared in awful deals like Elon stuck his finger into.
I think we're at the bottom of the second inning of this game of Twitter-ball. Let's see how it goes from here now that the team is down to a bare roster.
in my experience that isn't the case at all. People who are most vocal tend to be parents or those that have a harsh commute and that isn't a clean overlap with slackers at all.
I bought my first two houses over the last 10 years and each time I thought we were at the peak, and I was way wrong. First mortgage had over 5% mortgage rate and 2nd was the same.
Outside of closing costs mortgage rates are temporary (can always refi). Land is a finite resource. It should continue to go up.
You really think the people who got a <3.5% interest rate loan will let go of their properties in the next 5 years to purchase a 5%+ mortgage for a more expensive monthly payment? What incentive do they have?
I just let go of my 2.25% mortgage to move out to the boonies at 7%. It's painful but still makes sense given the cost of living difference between here and the insane Bay Area. I am admittedly gambling that rates will come back down to something at least in the middle within a few years, but who knows?
That said Projector round tripped all the key strokes to get new draw commands (unlike VSCode) which also results in lag. The new IntelliJ remote architecture is much better, and it seems Uber is moving that way too.
They're using this now, but I imagine the user ValleZ's comment is about a past time working at Uber or hearing stories from Uber developer friends, in which I can see why spinning up a low-latency (but still over 30+ millisecond RTT) virtual machine would be an early solution to developers trying to cut down on build times and whatnot.
There will always be insane people in this world. Was Hitler and the nazis radicalized through the internet? Was Timothy McVeigh? Censoring people out of the fear semi casual relationships occurring between them and radicalization doesn’t work.
It’s not like people who apt to deeply believe radical ideas once their source becomes censored they just stop there. Human beings don’t work like that.
I don’t believe libsoftiktok is causing real world harm.
> Was Hitler and the nazis radicalized through the internet?
They radicalized millions of people via their speech, which is the correct level of abstraction. Whether it was offline or online speech is a distinction without a difference.
> There will always be insane people in this world.
Mono-causal explanations are factually wrong. The Dylan Roofs of the world clearly have severe mental health problems, combined with being radicalized online by other people's speech. It's the union of all these factors that causes the observed outcome.
> I don’t believe libsoftiktok is causing real world harm.
Well, it's harder to make a case for libsoftiktok than places like 4chan. I think it's reasonable to say that 4chan et al. have literally caused people to die via mass shootings.
I assume you’re saying the way they prevent misuse is because the ledger is public and it’s trackable by anyone who wants to look at the ledger.
If I’ve mistaken your argument then please correct me. I’m familiar with blockchain and have contributed to multiple projects in the open source community back when I saw potential and promise in blockchain tech.
If you’re depositing into a bank or exchange it’s not like 1 person is controlling that entire entities wallet(s). Deposits have the same risk of being misused in crypto as in fiat.
No but with these exchanges collapsing I keep seeing the argument that it people kept everything in a soft or hard wallet then everything would be OK. I disagree with that premise for the reasons prior. Also in the case of Luna and many others their coins are effectively worthless.
Totally valid criticism about the coins potentially being worthless.
I just want to stop the ignorant, misinformed takes.
It's so paradoxical that HN is paranoid about the government changing settings on your phone without your permission, and yet HN does not think we should prevent the government or an opaque set of third parties from arbitrarily seizing and freezing your money.
> You may be trying to simulate a ‘session’ where a client performs many steps in order to achieve a goal. As Gerard Meszaros writes regarding the test smell, this is appropriate for manual tests, but rarely for automated tests.
Integration tests are typically easier to write / maintain and thus are more valuable than small unit tests. Don’t know why the entire premise argues against that.
Difference in those are vaccinations that yield quality, long lasting immunity whereas the Covid vaccine is comparable to the flu vaccine in terms of effectiveness. Also, those are battle tested and widely accepted at this point, but the Covid vaccine was a type of vaccine that reached production for the first time with these.
Polio vaccine caused side-effects, up to and including polio.
Every vaccine has carried some level of risk. I do think attitudes on that risk have changed over time though.
(I have a relative who was in the first trials of polio vaccination, and I asked her if there was the same kind of reluctance to get it we were seeing with COVID. She smirked and said "Well, let me think... I was in private school, and we were having an indoor play day that day... Indoor because the plane was gonna fly over to spray the DDT and they didn't want us to get directly dusted... Anyway, no, all our parents wanted us to get it because they all personally knew someone, or someone who knew someone, in an iron lung and didn't want that for their kids").
