What? You have to be authenticated as a superuser or other role with a very specific privilege.

> Immune response in reaction to what?

Autoimmune diseases like Crohn's and colitis?

> Go is type safe

Functions that accept or return the interface{} type are not type-safe. These are _common_.

The part of this argument I don't really understand is that it seems like the cost of bad programmers is higher, not lower, with a "simple" language where it's _normal_ to have type-unsafe code and mutable state everywhere.

For almost all jobs at SpaceX, only permanent residency (i.e., a green card) is required, because that's what ITAR and EAR require.

But, yes, of course companies have no choice but to exclude non-citizens from jobs that require a security clearance, because getting a clearance requires citizenship.

I'm not sure what your search query is supposed to prove. That something is rare doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I have personally used this YAML feature, albeit very rarely, obviously.

>it can be considered a form of vigilantism

No. Vigilantism is extralegal. A lawsuit is by definition not vigilantism.

It is a strange, strange world in which Uber is considered "tech" but turning around a rocket after it's boosted a payload toward orbit and then landing it back on earth exactly where intended isn't technologically innovative enough to qualify.

> You're comparing a Mazda 3, which is an economy car, against an entry-level luxury sedan. This is a bad comparison.

Indeed, that was my point. The claim that "'economy' cars like the Honda Civic, Mazda 3, Toyota Camry, etc. can easily push up against $30k with a few options" is trying to assert that people buying those kinds of cars are in the Model 3 market. But they really aren't. People buying small luxury sedans like the ones you've mentioned probably are, though.

> There's no reason to buy any other car.

This seems beyond out-of-touch. There are plenty of good reasons. Cost, size, and the fact that you might need a car now and can't actually buy a Model 3 yet would be chief among them.

It seems like a pretty great car if you're in its particular market though.

Yes, it seems pretty common to spend $35k on a vehicle, and of course people buying $35k sedans are in the Model 3 market, but I don't think that includes even new small economy car buyers.

It would be difficult to spend $30k on a new standard-engine Mazda 3. Mine was $18k brand new. The top standard-engine trim is around $25k. That other $10-17k is another $165-285/month over 5 years at 0% interest, and that is not an insignificant amount of money to many/most people.

If you can't save that much monthly in gas, and all you want is a boring, basic, reliable car, it's not worth it (yet). Tax incentives help, but Tesla is going to hit the 200,000 vehicle limit well before filling even all the Model 3 pre-orders.

I think I'd resign if someone in a position to be reviewing Python code scolded me for using a list/dict/set/generator comprehension.

But Go and Java are both compiled, garbage-collected languages.
