The Bolt has its own aesthetic, less suave, glamorous, beautiful (whatever those means in non subjective settings) than the Model 3 for instance. Yet I cannot help looking at the Model 3 as a shrinked lo-fi luxury Model S which makes me cringe more than the 'ugly' bolt. The aesthetics fit the market better somehow.
> Great, then the Gigafactory can start manufacturing that instead. It wouldn't be obsolete.

The Gigafactory IIRC has a $5B budget. The building and the land isn't expensive, especially given the preferential treatment by the government. The machinery and infrastructure, tailored for lithium battery production, are the biggest part of the budget and you won't be able to "just switch it out". The Gigafactory is a lithium battery factory on a massive scale, nothing else.

> New revolutionary hardware technologies don't just appear

Do you remember the revolution that got sparked by the iPhone? That one needed half a year to totally turn over the mobile phone market. It's not uncommon.

On the other hand, I agree that a revolutionary new technology is unlikely to appear - and with the Gigafactory, Tesla and Panasonic can basically control battery prices for the rest of the world.
The BBC does have freedom from persecution or prosecution (assuming it doesn't publish things that are e.g libelous). But, due to the particular way it is funded, it doesn't have freedom from government intervention.

In particular the BBC charter is reviewed every so often. This process involves the government and can affect things like the level of funding available to the BBC, and its remit in terms of the services it is allowed to offer. It's no secret that the current government are not big fans of the BBC, both for ideological reasons, and because of cozy relationships with certain commercial broadcasters. They are already waging a war in the press trying to convince the public that the BBC has an intrinsic left-wing bias, and are mooting ideas like preventing it from making programmes that are too popular and so may draw audiences away from commercial rivals. In this environment, and with funding already being cut, and jobs lost, it's not hard to see why you would think twice about running stories that could lead you open to allegations of an anti-government agenda.

Although the particular details of that situation are unique to the BBC, it's important to note that commercial broadcasters, and media outlets in general, also don't have freedom in the sense of freedom-from-consequences. For example there was a story last year about HSBC pulling adverts from media outlets which ran articles critical of its business practices. In an environment where, particularly for print media, margins are tight or non-existent, it's easy to see how this can give commercial interests hidden editorial control over a "free" press.
If you make $900k/y and you're fine losing $378000 then we need a flexible system. Where people like you you'd be working %42 of their time for free, while people like me would chose to earn each and every minute back. Time is more valuable than money. I'd be fine losing %42 of my annual salary working %42 less.

My dream for years has been to get a '79 Stingray shell, build it as electric and do a fully modernized interior. I've just always loved that particular body style.

It was 300000 for lobbying grease to land the contract, 30000 profit, 6k for hardware and 500$ for one intern to write it.
It's a complex topic though. The papers are distinct from the research (and public money), and the authors willfully give publishers the rights to their writing. This is also not "free" but in exchange for prestige for promotions, etc. I don't think this is a good system though, but it's legal. NIH does require open access after one year for publicly funded work, at least, but I think a better solution is to require summary reports submitted directly to NIH for every project.
> $100k from someone who's making $250k

40% tax? Sounds about right. So long as there are good social services. That's about the taxation level in the Nordic countries, so with that I expect universal health care, 1 year combined parental leave per child, free college tuition to state colleges, state coverage of old age homes, free college, 30 days of holiday, good roads, clean water, etc.

> Someone who studied hard (for example), got into student debt, etc

If tuition is free, there's no need to go into massive student debt. Cuba, with the Latin American School of Medicine, pursues medical diplomacy by providing free medical education to international student, including US citizens. It cost Cuba about $15K/year/student or about $90K total. Some of the US citizens do this so they can return home and worked at a free clinic or volunteer in communities that are underserved by those who go into $100Ks of debt. (See http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/cuba-offers-poor-med-stu... ).

Those medical students are making a statement as well - that $250k/y isn't what drives them to be a medical doctor. (I bring this up to highlight that a lot of people make statements, not just those with high incomes.)

> Billionaires should get taxed %50

Note that "billionaire" refers to wealth, not income. Are you proposing a global wealth tax of 50% of the richest people? Picketty's proposal is only 5 or 10% for billionaires.

FWIW, the highest income tax bracket in the US used to be ~90%.

> If you make 1 million dollars a year you'll never become a millionaire

If you make $1M/year with 50% income taxation and no wealth taxation then you have 500K. If your lifestyle costs $250K/year than you bank $250K/year. It will take 4 years to become a millionaire.

If there is a 50% income tax and 2% wealth tax on $1M/year income and no savings (and the same spend) then you'll have $250K in savings for the first year, $490K the second, $720K the third, $940K the fourth, and by the fifth year you'll have over a million in savings.

I guess it depends on how you define success. Certainly it includes the word, eventually, because it's not ever happening on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd expected by date. The analysts do tend to be conservative but they're also advising on a lot more than $1000 buy-ins, so a lot of their hesitation is completely legitimate "show me the goods". Investing isn't exactly like gambling on chance you know?
This is quite interesting. Friend of my from other city is trying to do similar thing - build platform for recording, publishing (not on YouTube) and archiving city council meetings. He told me they use some proprietary and "prehistoric" solution (from 1990 - 1995) with insane maintenance costs so he want to migrate everything to cheaper or ideally some open-source solution.
For example, not having to run all (or huge parts of) your stories through a censor before being allowed to publish them (e.g. China, Israel).

Or, like in Germany, various protections like e.g. the police not allowed without complex judiciary checks to monitor the phones and internet connections of a journalist, or to go into a newspaper office and seizing random data to uncover a source.

I have to completely disagree with you. I think it's actually a great looking little car. I find it interesting how such an item can bring out great differences in tastes, like ours.

Additionally, I'm sure that aesthetics will actually make a big difference to any potential buyer and so do matter a lot, so I think you are right to voice a subjective opinion on how it looks.

> (2) Don't do architecture review in PRs.

The issue I'm finding in reviews is often that I end up with a summary of "this problem can't be solved nicely on the current architecture of this module so there should have been a redesign first". Such a review is essentially saying "start over from the beginning" and it's a huge waste of time. Often you just don't respond with that, instead making a mental note to fix the technical debt, and you do a superficial review of what was actually written.

(In this scenario the developer is inexperinced or not familiar with the code base, so wouldn't see the architectural problem, and instead tries to implement the feature in anger on the current architecture).

One could require the lightweight design document approval first for all issues, but that would be a huge overhead. I have banged my head against this problem for years.
One thing I like about the Bolt over the Tesla 3 is the fact that it has buttons for climate control and basic music functions. I'm really not a fan of where your are forced to do everything on a giant touchscreen stuck to the middle of the dash.
I doubt it, there's ~4,000 plugs right now, the Tesla "experience" gets watered down when you have to wait for the plebes to charge their POS daily driver.

I wouldn't be real shocked if the Model 3 has to pay to charge. Not only because of the electricity cost, to keep the stations available.
You buy a recurring ticket for your phone and it's billed for anything else. It's like a tax plus extra use fees.

Privatization is not a general solution though. It needs regulation and oversight to keep unfair market practices to a minimum.

I totally get why you'd not want to finance many things, and I'm with you on most of those, but the world isn't that simple and human behavior/psychology surely isn't.

1, 2, 3, 4, 7) Totally with you here. The biggest defect is that government officials cannot be held responsible for their mismanagement and thus have no incentive to not screw up. This is totally different in a company. Steve Jobs got kicked out but that won't happen to a politician let alone made to pay for losses created. This needs to start with the people. First, getting elected to an office and office in general has to stop being about who gets the most money and money/favors must be eradicated from lobbying totally. Second, voters must stop treating elected persons as if they're replacement monarchs. They should just use Hollywood stars for that and buy their t-shirts or whatnot instead. I'd argue that feudalism still exists in the minds of most if you look at the way governors, ministers (not the religious kind) are treated with a red carpet, awe and looking up to. They're representatives voted into an office to manage things and are still just nothing more than a city clerk but with more decision power in the chain. People have a fascination with those in power and won't stop living in virtual feudalism because of that. Also that a US candidate has to look for campaign money and cannot focus on the agenda (s)he is trying to get votes for is a huge defect in the system. This is less of a problem in other countries.

The spending of taxes is broken and sadly you cannot hold anybody accountable. We could be living on Europa by now if we spent just 0.1% less on wars.

> If those committees decide that of their own free will, then they think the benefits of Elsevier are worth the costs.

We don't know what's happening here, but when elsevier holds the keys to funding scientists, they are not going to turn against them. Elsevier can "bribe" without money in this case. Counter example: the mathematicians' boycott of elsevier. They could pull it off because their career does not depend on it. A biologists' boycott? never happened.

Elsevier can ask for all the money in the world and i don't care, the problem is that it's an abuse of copyright law to give them exclusive access without an alternative method for the public to see the results of publicly funded work. Why this kind of provision does not exist is not clear to me, but i suspect lobbying from publishers has played a role.

While you can dismiss it as a 'greedy business', elsevier plays an institutional role here, and it holds that role purely by inertia.

p.s. Yes , 30% is exorbitant profit, academia has different standards, and most scientists would prefer a non-profit.
Unless you specifically want a pure EV, a hybrid with a gasoline-powered generator onboard is going to be more practical. I have a different perspective because there are no superchargers within 50 miles, and in fact for the most common longer drives I make there are no SuperChargers within range of the vehicle. So they are a non-factor in any consideration I would have in deciding on a possible EV purchase.
Project managers don't spend 1290 hours to plan a 1 hour implementation.

It certainly is indistinguishable from a tax from the licensee's perspective, so I agree with the classification in that sense (e.g. for evaluating the tax pressure of UK citizens etc).
The important takeaway however is that unlike proper taxes the money isn't politically controlled.

I think I understand what you are saying, but official crash test ratings have not been released for either vehicle yet.

I don't think crash test safety can be "benchmark-optimized" per se; outside companies do the testing and the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. However, there may be vehicle incidents that would not be covered by safety or crash tests. The safety dollars go to mitigating incidents with the highest rate of fatalities.

Implementing HAL Hypermedia REST API Using Spring HATEOAS
If they can prove it works at scale this tech instantly eliminates the usefulness of beacons.

Wifi has always been the obvious solution to indoor location (lower power than GPS / works indoors / piggybacks on installed hardware / somewhat "open") but fidelity was too low.

Hence the rise of beacons.

Beacons IMO are the least elegant solution to the problem of indoor location because they require (a) a whole separate location framework (b) requires vendors / stores to install & maintain hardware to drive coverage (c) are owned by the OS.

I've been watching this game unfold for years - Apple bought WifiSLAM in 2013 to improve indoor location / wifi (1), and then bought "super accurate GPS" firm coherent NAV last year. (2)

There are also several startups attempting to use sensor data + geomagnetic or inertial navigation to solve this problem. (3)

If these guys actually got Wifi working, and figure out a way around the callibration problem, they in one fell swoop solved one of the major barriers to the hyper-localized advertising / consumer tracking that we've been promised (threatened with?) for years.

But the workforce participation rate is at a twenty year low...

This confirms what I said - people don't want to work. Workforce participation rate = (working + seeking work) / population.

I'm also curious who is "lazily" not working, and somehow still eating and sleeping under a roof.

People on public assistance. Millions are exploiting lax standards in disability programs: http://apps.npr.org/unfit-for-work/

The vast majority of poor people (75% or so) don't work and are not seeking work yet have consumption of approximately $20k/year/consumer unit. Where do you get the idea that people will be homeless if they don't work?

In the macrospective economy, I would like to see evidence of unsupplied demand at the minimum wage for child care or construction workers.

It's pretty easy. Offer child care for $7.25/hour and see if anyone tries to hire you.

The Bolt (if the numbers $30k and 200+ miles) means that a company that isn't Tesla can build a car that is competitive at least on range/price with the Model3.

I thought Tesla had an advantage on battery tech and/or production that meant the competition had to produce vastly inferior (on range) cars, such as the leaf/i3 etc.

If GM can produce a 200+ mile range EV at this cost, then Toyota, VW or BMW should soon be able to produce a good 200+ mile EV at a competitive price.
Your analysis is good except that last part. Google hires tons of geniuses who could handle Rust easily with a bit of training. The extra efficiency would reduce datacenter requirements even more. Most of their tools are also internal where scripting community has minimal contribution.

So, I don't see a clear benefit for them to choose Go over Rust except saving face. They'd be better off investing in both for various reasons with critical stuff like F1 RDBMS in Rust and rapid dev in Go.
Regarding your last point, assuming you'd be an employee with a steady income of one million dollars per year. I believe you'd be a CEO in a large corporate or you'd have a very generous employer. Then yeah, you could chill and plan for the next 5 years. What if you're a small business with no regular income? You made a million dollars thanks to your hard work in 2015, which might not happen again in 2016. They took away %50 of that million dollars.

I agree, billionaire refers to wealth not income. At that level your income is the money you generate from your own money. Which is an income, which should be taxed at %50 if your wealth is in the billions of dollars. That's what I was referring to.
