I know people have said this before and been very wrong for it, but I just don't think there's much in those constraints to innovate (read Blackberry). Unless you change the only fundamental aspects of owning a car (driving, parking, and maintenance), all you're doing is polishing a turd.

If Apple is just building the car, and fully autonomous transport is out of the picture, then all they can hope to do is make it electric and install all kinds of shiny gizmos inside. Battery tech won't advance on their doing, so we can't expect their "revolutionary" change to involve any actual gain in commuting, but we can expect to be inundated with a lot of beeps and boops. Oh and maybe your Apple watch will unlock the doors.
Even if Apple is working on a car, I can't imagine that it will cost any less than $50,000. I've always felt the amount of money people spend on luxury vehicles is obscene.
All I want is an Ethernet port on my MacBook Pro. Please stop the maddening war on ports.

I don't think the car's logs are automatically transmitted to Tesla. They reside on the car, and Tesla can login remotely to view them if they have a valid reason to.

DV is well-understood and proven in the field. I am not so sure about the newer WSN routing research (Directed Diffusion, LEACH etc.). Also many of the WSN protocols assume a high density of nodes (e.g. a production plant covered in sensors). A Thread-type network can be quite sparse.

But they are also growing by about 50% year over year (and more!). In 2015 they sold as many cars as Porsche sold in 2000, this year probably as much as Porsche in 2004.

Tesla's made enormous strides in core automotive engineering but to answer your question you have to ask, what would make a 10X difference in a product category? That's Apple's rough criteria for entering a space. It's not just moving to electrics.

The answer, at least for Apple, has always been in user-facing software. The hardware is a "pretty box" (to use Jobs' phrase) and certainly there is impressive core engineering there. But the 10X difference comes from fundamentally re-envisioned software platforms and user interfaces.

So this doesn't make much sense for cars if we only think in terms of traditional automotive engineering or "merely" shifting to an electric platform. Tons of incredible feats of engineering, but not a 10X difference in user experience or opening of a new landscape like the Mac, iPhone, etc.

BUT if we look to the (semi-)autonomous future then it's a huge wide-open landscape of innovation. And it's all about the software smarts and user interface. It's critical to understand that the user interface is essential, i.e. that we will not simply jump to fully autonomous cars. They will be cars that interface with human drivers for quite some time. So that's where Apple will compete with Tesla.

And yes getting the underlying (electric) automotive hardware and production right is a huge challenge in and of itself, but ultimately technically feasible. The software layer on top of it is more of a proprietary differentiator in the long run.

I just urged a local startup here to apply. Told her that I'd bet the prevailing attitude on HN would be that it was a joke. Fewer applicants gives her a much better chance to be noticed.

I'm way older than Snapchat's target demographic but I love it. Few people from the startup world on there but the quality of the advice is high.
Well, yeah. If you don't fit the standard of "reasonable person", you're going to violate normal standards, and going to be judged harshly for it unless you put a lot of effort in.
Yeah, it seems their only hope might be to construct another ship out of those deck chairs. If you read that announcement the mandate of the company gets even more general and vague.

The Hyperloop Test Proves the Future Will Still Be Boring
First, Apple's historic design advantage is probably gone - since the competition has greatly improved. For example, the watch didn't offer something significantly different(10x) than other smartwatches.

But i can see your second point being true, maybe full-autonomy will take a long time. So even if Apple will design a great interface, it would probably be copied by competitors fast enough, unless there's some big barrier to copying that interface like the phone had in apps. What could that barrier possibly be ?

The only exception i can think of:

The addition of radio for most cars was an important invention.

So let's go wild - what if Apple succeeds in making siri a true AI, with a great personality, someone you'd have great fun driving with, everyday to work ?
Thank for you advice!

Which clearly cannot both be true at the same time. It isn't that it's impossible but there is actually some way to do it. It's just regular unadulterated impossible.

So why not give up the charade and publish the source code to the DRM? That can't cause it to be ineffective because it's already ineffective. It's not even a fig leaf, it's just security theater.

I have found that most sites that promise matching to many possible positions have a two way signal-noise problems. You are likely to get too many recruiters; and companies are likely to get too many applicants.

1) Find a conference that videos presentations in a domain that you are interested in. Apply to companies that represent speakers for topics that you are interested in. (also gives you material to talk about in interview)

2) As you find interesting companies, select the ones that you have never heard of, and find them on sites like linkedin. Use tool to find similar companies (this is useless for large and well known companies).

3) Of the 'match maker' sites I've used, Craigslist is surprisingly good (this may be location specific). Some of my most interesting interviews were from random craigslist jobs.

That's not really true. Yes there are challenges with reified generics and yes Scala's generics don't fit. However you can work around it by doing the type erasure yourself. You can always consider a List[Int] to be a List[Any] and be done with it. And yes that's going to generate inefficient code, but ClojureCLR doesn't seem to mind.

No, the reason for why Scala.Net didn't happen is because nobody cared. To find proof of this, you only need to look at Clojure. Its .NET implementation is well maintained by David Miller, yet it's very unpopular. And the reason for why .NET developers don't care is because they don't have an open source culture. Or in other words, if it doesn't come from Microsoft, then it doesn't exist.

You mentioned Blackberry. Pre-iPhone, the world probably would have said there isn't much you can do to innovate on smartphones. They will always need keyboards so the screen has to be small, etc.

With cars I want to underscore what I said about a "10X" improvement in safety and convenience. That is not just polishing a turd. What does it take to actually get to a car that largely drives itself, on myriad roads and conditions? It is wishful thinking to believe cars will do this all by themselves without drivers anytime soon.

Instead, think of a UI that is much more about "mind-melding" with a human driver. Letting them know exactly what it is planning to do, how it intends on navigating that stretch of Highway 1 without driving off the cliff. THAT will probably require fundamentally rethinking the cockpit. You will be mostly focused on "driving by instruments".

If they can achieve that, then we get cars that really do save thousands of lives and make the journey much more relaxing.

> Please consider dropping the adversarial attitude.

A debate is by definition adversarial. I do tend to be more passionate when debating certain topics. If I've come across to you as aggressive I apologize. It's just my style of writing and you can freely ignore any aggression you see in it.

> > Only if the programmer or his management were incompetent

> This is just short of a personal attack, which is against the rules.

That comment wasn't about you so it can't be a personal attack against you. It was about a fictitious programmer and his fictitious management used in our examples.

Attacking what you've written is not a personal attack against you. I will rip your words apart, try to prove they are wrong, show where you've either made a faulty assumption or an error in logic. That's what a debate is.

I will never, ever under any circumstances attack you. If you can see that distinction I will gladly continue to debate with you.

This whole thing basically ballooned from this statement of yours:

> The antivirus basically unplugged the disk. What can it do to recover? There's nothing to be done.

Those are the words I'm challenging. You have two points there. The first is that the antivirus unplugged the disk. While I know you're not being literal you're not being accurate either. It locked one or more files.

The second was that there was nothing the program could have done. To this I gave an example of a program that does handle this exact situation and more.

From your other comment replying to someone else but still quoting me:

> > Think of your torrent software. If you crank your firewall to block it while it's running it will not crash. If your disk fills up it won't crash.

> No one was saying it was okay for the program to crash.

This is the example program I'm talking about. I wasn't implying that you think it was okay for the program to crash. I was giving you an example of a program that can handle disk and network error conditions without the need to restart itself (automatically or manually) nor crash itself or the system.

> GPUs are bastards. They ignore what programmers want, almost by definition. And as someone who has spent way-too-many years wringing as much performance as possible from them, I assure you that this is a realistic characterization of a possible outcome.

I believe you in in that situation. GPUs have been designed with speed in mind and that makes for a very complex interface to them. But that reinforces a few arguments made by others in regards to this story, that being should medical equipment be using hardware not specifically designed for the purpose.

But going back to my comment of:

> > As for displaying random data, why would the programmer want to do this?

Based on your GPU comment above we may using different definitions of random data. I took your "random data" as "looks right on the screen but the numbers are wrong". If the programmer knows that his data source is temporarily unavailable, showing stale or corrupted data is the last thing he should do.
