I think Tesla will make money regardless of whether the established car companies come up with a good or better car; they're investing heavily in battery technology, and within 5 years, Tesla will be the world leader in that respect, undercutting the competition and managing to buy up most of the world's raw materials for batteries. See it as them becoming the oil industry, instead of the car industry - designs, efficiency, laws etc are fickle and tend to vary a lot, but oil and petrol has remained relatively unchanged for a long time (as far as I can tell).

Battery tech could still face a huge revolution though; if Tesla isn't able to acquire that and go with that, they might see themselves out of the battery business very quickly.

I suspect that as long as getComputedStyle() exists, there will be ways for it to leak identifying information. Browsers already break getComputedStyle for some things (i.e., to close the history leak of being able to query whether the "visited" styling is applied to a link), but it may end up that this API just has to disappear completely.
The decision about what database to use still isn't a business requirement in that case though, more of a nonfunctional requirement that can be determined outside of a particular feature.

I'm not pigeonholing Heinlein, thanks. There's a few recurring themes in some of his books; one is an enthusiastic embrace of militarism (and it's far from universal, it's mostly in his earlier books for younger readers). When something comes up, it's good to see it reproduced in a screen adaptation.

Militarism is intrinsically fascist. It's all about banding together, being stronger when pulling in a single direction, under the leadership of the state, and not brooking any dissent. It's intrinsically a dangerous social setup only suited to extremes of survival. I'm not a fan of fans of military qua military.

Depends on where you work. Anything influenced by the English-speaking world (IT, multinationals) – never attach a photo. A small local company – always attach a photo. Anything else – good luck deciding what to do.
The theory is sound [1], but as in many situations with a lot of different actors, you get some coordination problems. Already many countries have some rules about how and when you can use certain anti-biotics, and some countries completely ignore them, or ignore them when it's profitable (farmers, usually, from what I gather.[2])

Even given the variety of anti-biotics we have now, if they were on a kind of 4 or 5 year rotation schedule that was actually followed, given the reproductive rate of bacteria i suspect that would work anyways, so hoping for coordination would certainly help, a solution that wouldn't require humans being more cooperative would be greatly expanding the diversity of our anti-biotics.

Selling your software company and giving away all the money
The money quote:

> "I wish we had put that car on the road and not Tesla," confided a senior engineer at Porsche. "We have to earn money at the end of the day though."

The article also talks about "how will the German brands win back customers from Tesla?", but really, if you look at cars like the Mercedes S-class, BMW 7 series or the Audi A8, their sales are unchanged or even increasing since 2012 when the Model S was launched. Audi has been setting record sales numbers in the US, which is Tesla's biggest market, for five years straight. So it's a bit hard to argue Tesla has taken many of their customers.

Maybe most Tesla drivers were never petrolheads in the first place, and drove a boring station wagon before the Model S came along?
Not always at all. Also often, the forerunner disappears when other companies jump in at a later, proven, profitable stage of the technology, when both technology and the market are ready for mass production.

Where there is not very much repetition required, simply use repetition instead (e.g. in the above example I would just copy & paste use-db to the relevant locations). The increased readability makes it worth the repetition where there's not a lot of it.

Where there is a lot of repetition I'd consider that a bug or feature required in the schema and would refactor the YAML schema and the parsing code so that less repetition is necessary for most configs.

I don't consider the above CI config particularly easy to understand and even with the node anchors and references there's a bunch of repetition (e.g spinach 1, spinach 2, spinach 3, etc.). That's partly because of the node anchors and references. It would look better if they refactored the schema.

Tesla doesn't really have a big investment in battery technology, Panasonic owns the technology and manufacturing process IP. What Tesla is investing in with the Gigafactory is taking economy of scales to the extreme (Musk has freely said as much publicly). That's not something which is difficult for others to replicate once it's proven to be a profitable venture.
Ask HN: How do you manage all your online passwords?
The thing is, that while Tesla cars might be the coolest thing on the market, but it won't matter one bit if they run out of money. The question is - can they make themselves profitable before that happens?
The only reason they won't have cancelled the service is because they haven't done proper customer profitability analysis.

There is absolutely no way a customer running a Tor exit node with ~50Mbps traffic 24/7 on a €4,90pm server is sustainable.
As a sysadmin with 10+ years of experience moving into development, I agree. The only issue with DevOps is that unless you have a good CS or programming background, you need to spend a few years studying up on coding, coding tools etc. A lot of companies looking for DevOps are asking for Senior Developers etc instead of senior SysAdmin experience. I have however seen one or two companies starting to hire both too balance the knowledge but this might just be experienced managers :)

Technically, there's no requirement (or guarantee) that NULL is the address 0, there have been multiple architectures with non-zero NULL. And every architecture out there allows accessing physical address 0 (OS may map logical address 0 to be unaccessible). So they could well have knowingly decided to load address 0.

Tesla needed to have something groundbreaking like the Model S, otherwise they would never have gotten the attention and sales that they got. The germans already had an established business and didn't need to take risks. Also their sales are strong and even increasing, so i don't buy the argument the press is spinning that Audi/BMW/Merc/Porsche are being left behind by Tesla. They have some very impressive technology in the works and Tesla still has to prove that it can be really profitable.

Still i love Tesla for what they did and the movement they started.

I wonder what exactly will happen to all the cars if Tesla goes completely bust. I remember when SAAB fell over, their cars took ~10% depreciation and a noticeable insurance bump overnight.

For a car company that vehemently blocks third parties from doing maintenance on their cars, and with a big complex software at the heart of the vehicle, I wonder just how big of a financial loss it could end up being for Tesla owners. Might we see 50% value loss overnight? If no garage has the tools, software and knowhow to fix it, what do you do when it breaks?

Mustard Systems Ltd|London,UK|On-Site|Full Time|Python/Linux|Senior+Junior Roles
At Mustard we research and manage automated sports betting algorithms that we use to trade and make profit. We run multiple systematic strategies that connect to sport betting exchanges and are semi-supervised by humans. Our stack mostly consists on Python plus some Go using ZMQ and PostgreSQL running on Ubuntu bare-metal servers on LXC containers. It's mostly backend work with minor JS UI stuff and a bit of systems administration.

We have a very flat hierarchy and relaxed environment. Our devs cooperate with quants and sports traders.

We are looking for developers who have solid fundamentals in programming and maths and an ability to pick up new technologies. You don't need to be interested in sports or betting.

> Ah, the joys of nondeterminism!

In TLA+ nondeterminism is as natural and graceful as determinism (it's a matter of ∨ vs ∧), and the functional concepts of parameterization and function types are just special cases. Nondeterminism is what allows refinement relations. You have it whenever you have types, but the language you use just doesn't use the same words to describe it.

> because it's a static assertion about the program

Mine is as static and as global as yours (and has the benefit of being easily verifiable mechanically)! You're just not trained to see it. You've been told that concurrency and imperative constructs are "dynamic" and are hard to reason about. That's just because FP is bad at reasoning about them, and prefers syntactic decomposition. There is nothing dynamic about a proper, pure description of what to you seems a messy dynamic process. The entire program is just a single, pure semantically unambiguous first-order predicate.

I had a discussion about this with a PLT person once, and he kept asking how you prove static properties in TLA+. It took me a while to understand what he meant, as "static" vs. "dynamic" are necessary when you want to reason about syntax. In simple logic, there's just a single formula.

> Almost invariably, the program is a much simpler mathematical object than the computations it gives rise to

You don't reason about each computation, but about what you'd call the "program", which in TLA+ is called the algorithm, as not to unnecessarily confuse with ideas that are related to syntax. The algorithm is just a boolean predicate, and my proof is that that predicate implies another (which implies the property).

Now when I look at how FP people reason about code I wonder why they have to complicate things so much. Sequential, concurrent, parallel, nondeterministic, deterministic, algorithms, properties -- they can all be reduced to a single first-order predicate, with the simple implication relation proving anything you want to know about any of them (that the program satisfies a property or a "type", that the deterministic program is a refinement of the nondeterministic one, that the parallel program computes the same result as the sequential one, that the sequential program has a worst-case complexity of such-and0such), all with simple, familiar logic and semantics that fit on a single page.
That's why it's a good idea to ask some experienced folks for feedback on your passionate writing before showing it to the public. The internet sentiment of "yay we don't need editors or reviewers" is certainly inspiring, but it also leads to a lot of writing that's passionate and wrong.
It's going to depend on you. I'd probably just party hard for a year or two... Then set some goals.

Exactly.

He believed in all kind of weird things, he had visions and was extremely paranoid. But he also knew that likely he had mental issues (possibly because of his drug abuse) and that there was at least the possibility that it was all a figment of his own imagination. Not surprisingly this is often (always?) a theme of his own books.

The VALIS trilogy really explores this. The first book (VALIS) is about two protagonists (who are really the same person and really represent PKD himself), one who has visions and suffer from delusions and the other much more grounded. The second book (Divine invasion) is a oniric sci-fi/mithical story, with little grounding in reality. The last book, The Transmigration of Timothy Archer (which is not even sci-fi), is narrated in first person by an atheist, skeptical person investigating possibly paranormal events.

Describing PKD works are meta is reductive.
I've had a similar experience. I occasionally give talks, and often my best talks were about topics where I didn't have to prepare much, because I'm deeply familar their topic.

It's a win-win situation. Preparation mostly reduces to deciding on the order of topics. Maybe researching some details I don't feel confident about. Maybe drawing some diagrams and/or looking for nice pictures. That's it.

The only "trick" is to have an audience to which my topic is all news.
They're all full of hot air until they actually deliver a real EV that can compete with the Model S. I saw an article on a Mercedes-Maybach EV concept car the other week which made me roll my eyes.

It will be very interesting to see what happens to the used Model S prices now that Tesla took away the buyback guarantee for new cars.
The question is actually "Will they run out of money before being able to access more money?" That might be from revenue exceeding costs (eg profit), but it might also be from loans, more investment rounds, an exit, etc. A business only fails when all the available funding avenues have been exhausted.

I don't see Tesla ever actually 'failing' in the sense of ceasing business - if they run out of money then a big manufacturer will very likely step in with buyout. Toyota already owns a stake in Tesla, so it'd make sense for them to buy the rest if they can. Many famous brands have done this in the past - Peugoet-Citreon and Volvo were bought by Chinese led groups, Rolls Royce is owned by BMW, GM owns Vauxhall (Opal), Ford owns a stake in Mazda, and VW owns Audi and others.

Behind the scenes the motoring industry has been consolidating for a long time. Tesla has a brand people like, so someone would buy it.
