So if legislators with their car dealer friends ban Tesla from selling directly to consumers, could Tesla do something like "We'll pay for your flight out to nearest place you can buy a car and drive it home. You'll get free nice hotel stays on the way home?" I can see that for someone buying a Model S or Model X. The sale was not made in that state so it should be fine.

What would the states do then? I am guessing force buyers to pay a steep registration tax, but they'd just have to word in a very strange way. Can't people then just register the car quickly out of state and then re-register it locally so it looks like "a move" legally and not a sale? It seems for any trick these states can come up with, the other, Tesla friendly, states can come with an alternate trick to counter it...

Nokia sold millions of camera phones that were the best of the market and the Iphone actually brought it down for a while:

"The launch of the initial iPhone may have harmed mobile camera tech development. There was a rush was to put touch screens on everything and cameras seemed to be less important all of a sudden when busting out a top-end spec list."

I think the author glosses over the issue of keywords. In order to be productive in the Wolfram Language (or any language), you need to build up an understanding of what operations it supports. There are thousands of such operations, neccesitating a method of looking up the correct operation for each task. And it's not always clear how to glue them together. What kid would think to type "GeoPlot" or "{n,20}" unprompted? In other words, people still need to build a mapping between their internal desires and valid syntax. We are still a long way from being able to compute in the language of thought.
My thought is having a dealer network is getting less useful for car makers. Historically dealers provided an interface between the car manufacturer and the end user in an era when.

1. Cars were a lot crappier than currently.
2. Shipping replacement parts was slow and expensive.
3. Communication was expensive, long distance calling, or slow, post.
4. Mass marketing was not fined tuned as now.

Dealers thus provided a service. They stocked parts performed quality warranty work. Sold and marketed the manufacturers cars.

Gasoline powered cars tend now to be very reliable, especially if you stick with manufactures that specialize in low cost of ownership cars. cough Toyota cough. The advent of electric cars will likely push reliability even further.

The other thing that's happened with cars as well is price transparency. Dealer could make work for themselves by specializing in getting better prices for the manufacturers cars then they could if they had a unified price list.

Chip ATMs are extremely rare in the US. Which sucks, because the chip in your debit card is only as good as the difficulty of finding a non-chip ATM.
Big Sur is awesome, but ~3 hours away by car. Yosemite is also reasonable weekend trip from SF, maybe ~4 hours away. Preferably plan to spend at least two days, and camp in the park, in either case; there's at lot to see/do and that's a lot of driving to only stay for a short time.

Muir Woods (which is under an hour away), Point Lobos...there's a lot of really beautiful stuff within a day trip of SF. I'd buy a tent, and plan to spend the night out for some of these, since most of the really good spots are at least a couple hours away.

That said, one could easily spend a week (month) on SF and Bay Area city exploration. There's a train that connects SF with the entirety of the rest of the bay area, so you don't even need a car to visit Mountain View (Computer History Museum is a must see!, though you'd want to catch a bus or Uber from the station to the museum, as it'd be a longish walk), Palo Alto (Stanford, Facebook, etc.), and several others along the CalTrain route.

Given how little time you have, I'd probably recommend you focus on minimizing travel time, and hit on stuff that's really close. That limits your "natural wonders" options, but there's a lot of really cool stuff made by people in recent history that's also worth seeing. SF is one of America's great cities.

Very simple math + a couple of new habits:

3500-4000 cal equals about a pound of weight. If you lose about 500 cal/day you will lose about 4 lbs/mo. To lose them you can either burn them or stop taking them in, or both.

First goal is to STOP gaining weight, second goal is to START losing it, third goal is to KEEP an average weight.

Count calories. How many did you eat during the last 7 days? How many do you need per day? Do the math and find out where you are.

Don't stress too much about healthy eating. Use common sense when picking your meals/snacks. Sodas are poison but once a week it won't kill you. (rule of thumb: eat what your grandparents ate)

Smart habits:

- Plan your meals. Just have a mental list of options so you avoid picking an unhealthy one.

- Move your ass thrice a week. Make it fun. Anything counts: 20min bike to work. 40min walk to work. One hour jog.
Stripe Atlas is not for everyone. Caveats based on my experience.
Interesting article and thanks for chiming back in. I also discovered and enjoyed the metaprogramming features of ruby perhaps 5+ years ago. As I've been learning it recently, can I ask if you have any particular take on lua? To me, it feels a bit paired back, more purist, smaller core/libraries than ruby, but also drawing from the same tradition - ie. lua's tables/functions equate well to lisp's lists/S-expressions (though practically largely equivalent and including metaprogramming support) - despite not being directly derived from a lisp.
Can't pay for housing on a credit card (usually). Most rent and mortgage payments are checks in the mail or ACH web portals.

I'm surprised rent as a percentage of transaction volume is so low. We don't all live in the Bay Area, I suppose.
Go further north up the 101 and visit the redwoods. I literally grew up on Endor. You will never see trees bigger. Head up to Humboldt county and check it out. The towns are meth filled hell holes but the camping and National/State parks are amazing.
Yes Yes Yes! There's the distinction of "Natural Elements" and I've always suspected that it was a somewhat temporal distinction. While I believe that the Periodic Table is a Universal Truth, "Natural" vs "Man-Made" elements always struck me as a Earthly way of looking at things. Not bad, just not the whole truth.
Rent an RV for a month and live in it full time first before buying one. After you're sure that you want to live in one then get a Good Sam membership and the rest will come naturally.
No, it's because the breathtaking places are breathtaking for a reason, and the infrastructure built up around them before is still relevant now. I'm not discounting how wonderful, say, a national forest is, but the areas deemed a national park are classified that for a reason.

Often that reason may simply reflect where the water is, and how the wildlife follows that water.

Isn't there a federal law about states not being allowed to interfere in interstate commerce?

What could they possibly do to ban internet sales?
"Near San Francisco" coming from Vegas / LA gives you many options. Big Sur is definitely worthwhile, Yosemite is amazing but a bit out of the way.

Big mountains are between Vegas and LA - perhaps go through Mammoth Lakes and Bishop on highway 395, you go skiing at Mammoth and see Mt Whitney, the highest point in the lower 48 states, while driving through Lone Pine.

Note all the roads crossing the Sierra Nevada mountains are closed south of the Lake Tahoe area after they get enough snow, usually in November.

From LA to San Francisco, take the 101 freeway through Santa Barbara, which has great beaches and hiking (writing this from there). Recommend the courthouse (Spanish Colonial architecture), the botanic garden and Butterfly Beach.
The southern Los Padres National Forest stretches for 40 miles behind there in the hills, with some of the beautiful hiking and camping far off the tourist trail the parent comment refers to: http://santabarbarahikes.com/hikes/sanrafael/

Wine country for the next 200 miles north through Santa Ynez and SLO, then leave the freeway for highway 1 to go through Hearst Castle and Big Sur.

Note vast parts of all the above have recently been or currently are on fire, so consider calling the ranger station to check conditions before you go.

More specific recommendations depend on what you're into, but usually the weather is nice in early December, though getting down near freezing at night away from the immediate coast.

If there's rain in the forecast at the coast spend the week skiing powder at Mammoth.
You unfortunately cannot "just use csv" if you're dealing with modern tabular data. (non-ascii)

Here is an example of basic BOM ignoring and delimiter insanity demonstrated by SAP:

Long story short, Excel is to tabular data as IE was to HTML/CSS/Javascript. Its headed for a cliff once people start realizing how bad it is as doing basic tasks.
It's easy to say "this charge is fraudulent, I didn't make it" and your credit card company will make it go away and mail you a new card.

Neither Citi nor Capital One entertain "I made this charge but I don't want to pay it because I'm angry at the merchant for bad service" (or whatever) easily. At minimum you have to prove that you tried to remedy the problem with the merchant and they're refusing.
Big Sur is, coarsely speaking, the stretch of coastline between Morro Bay and Monterey. Route 1 hugs the coast, and there's cliffs down to the ocean on one side, and mountains and an occasional canyon to the other side. Hearst Castle, the Bixby (Creek) Bridge are here, as well as a few state parks, ocean-bound waterfalls (rare), a lighthouse on a rock (Point Sur); it's quite fascinating. Plus you arrive at Carmel, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, and Monterey, which are scenic in their own right.

After that, go to Santa Cruz. The Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is the southernmost redwoods park on the coast. It's not quite as impressive as the Redwoods National Park much, much, much further north, but it's got the trees and the atmosphere. You're still south of San Francisco at this point. You can take Route 9 (a winding road) or Route 17 (a less-winding road) up to Silicon Valley from Santa Cruz.
I'm not sure. In Rocky Mountain National Park for instance, there are things above 9000 feet you can't get to unless a ranger takes your money; and in every experience I've ever had, that's the only way to get access to those experiences.
Noisli: Listen to abstract
I worked out at Muir Woods National monument years ago, when it was free to get in. Most of the tourists were from other countries. ($10 to get in today--crazy.)

It seemed like most tourists cared more about eating, and buying souvineers. (Most were on a bus schedule though. It went from San Francisco, Sausalito, and then Muir Woods.)

They seemed to like being around other tourists? Never quite figured them out. I do know this, some tourists didn't appear to be on vacation. They looked misserable. They seemed annoyed at little things, like ice in soda. I was asked so many times, "Why do Americans put ice in soda!". I used to tell them that we want to delay diabetes. Then, I got to the point where I just said Americans are stupid. The second one they got.

Most didn't seem to care about the large Redwood trees. The only group of people who seemed genuinely interested, excited to see such large trees were a group of Amish tourists.

My buddy introduced me to BLM camping, and one day, I hope to be in your shoes, enjoying life in a RV.

Or, just buy an old one. Renting costs ~$100/day (and that doesn't include the cost of RV parks, fuel, etc.). You can buy a travel trailer for not much more than a month of renting, if you don't mind an older one.

Buying a new RV would be madness, of course unless you're really sure you want to live this way and have a lot of spare cash laying around. They depreciate at an incredibly high rate. My first motorhome cost a bit over $30k when I bought it (it was 7 years old when I bought it), and I sold it last year for $12000, after living in it for most of the six years that I owned it. If you take your time, and shop carefully, you can find really great deals.

But, yeah, it's definitely a major life change, and one that maybe shouldn't be dived into without careful consideration.

Not to mention tours, accessible restrooms, refreshments...etc. it also has to do with advertising. If I am planning a trip, I have never heard of Bluebell knoll but I have certainly heard of Yosemite. I live in rural appalachia. There are a thousand state parks and 2 national parks by me. The locals know where the best places are. Tourist tend to go where ease of access (picnic tables, maps, refreshments, etc), and accommodations. Highly trafficked parks are also geared towards tourists and are heavily more well funded. People in general like comforts when they are away from home.
The problem is compounded by users not knowing exactly what it is that they’re storing/transmitting/archiving, and not caring enough to push for something leaner and more accessible.

It is also sad to see people deleting things to “make space” within some quota, when a massive amount of storage is clearly caused by unnecessarily-bloated files. How do you convince them to abandon the only editors that are familiar to them? How do you make plain text the new default?

People seem to like cracking open Word, typing a couple paragraphs and “sending that” to everyone. They don’t realize the kitchen sink comes with it. In the old days, sending large file attachments to an entire organization could be a disaster. If the server wasn’t very smart then it encoded and COPIED some monstrous Word file to everybody’s Inbox. And copied it again for reply-all. Inboxes would run out of disk space because E-mail sizes were insane! It was really frustrating to see that the amount of useful content was so small compared to the footprint.
Actually, its not even an address its a pointer.

To get the address of an object you use the unary 'address of' operator '&'.

His macro was #define address *

The * is a pointer. You can declare a variable of type pointer to T with as many indirections as you want. int * * * * * * foo is fine. But you also use it to deference your object. bob = * foo;

You can't practically have a different name for each level of indirection to what ever the IS0 standard/Compiler limit is for * .

Also you end up with nasty indirections like this.

**(*((struct foo*)(*bob.x))).y

Its nasty enough as it is without trying to name each pointer indirection.
My assumption is that because most people don't really use line numbers actively. This might seem weird since we all go and enable line numbers asap but when I think about it, I rarely use them. If there's an error on line 26 I simply jump to line 26 using whichever shortcut my editor gives me. Line numbers are very poor bookmarks as well. In a constantly evolving code file, what use does bookmarking line 26 have when tomorrow the contents of it could have changed.

Basically the idea behind line numbers is to give a point of reference. Points of reference have two types of uses. Immediate and long term. Immediate reference points in code are good for debugging. For that you have a line jump shortcut. Long term reference points in code are essentially useless as explained. The whole purpose of a reference point is that the contents shouldn't change. In a book, page 37 always means the same thing no matter how much time passes. Not so in code

But why do we all enable line numbers then anyways?? My hunch is that it's some form of comfort usually. In editors like vi it's a little more robust since we use the line numbers to jump usually but I've discovered that as my vim skills have improved I don't jump to a line as often as I jump to a specific word. So with all that taken into account, it feels like line numbers are really one of those things we have an odd relationship with where we take comfort in them being around every now and then but we can get by fine without ever needing them..

Edit. Re pairing sessions. You are right. There are a lot of line number references here. One of the few times that you will be having repeated requirements of immediate reference points to be shared. But this use case doesn't make up the majority of use case of how we develop most of the time. Pair programming will mostly be two people at the same computer (which makes sense. How do you keep the files and therefore the line numbers in sync if you are using two machines). So that again doesn't need line numbers constantly. And so we come back to the main reason it's disabled by default. Because that's the default behavior really

You can write C in any language. You can also write any language in C.

The fact that it's possible does not imply that it's a good idea. Some of the macros here are in common use (e.g., countof, although often with other names); some will make experienced C developers say "what's this? Oh, you mean <insert expansion here>; why did you use a weird macro?"; and some, like the redefinitions of case and default are actively hostile and are guaranteed to result in bugs when exposed to experienced C developers.

Yes, CL has old and useless functions.

There is zero need to ever use SETQ for example. SETF is a pure superset of SETQ's functionality. For other examples, I don't know that I've seen a serious use of PROGV or PROG in this century either.

Most experienced lisp programmers never use EQ, since EQL is more well designed, and the overhead is either negligible or nonexistent. Yes it's annoying that EQUAL doesn't recurse into non-string vectors.

Useful equality in CL is roughly: EQL for comparing non-aggregate types and identity checking of aggregate types, EQUAL for comparing lists, and EQUALP for case-insensitive comparisons. Some people add in = for numeric comparisons, but that's a style question (seeing = means "these arguments are definitely going to be numbers" and not much else, as if you're doing an equality test between e.g. an integer and a float, then you're doing it wrong, and differing numeric types is the only time = is different from eql when all arguments are numbers).

Comparing non-primitives is typically done with domain-specific comparison functions, as there are many ways to decide if two arbitrary objects are "equal" (for the old-saw OO example of 2d geometric shapes, you might have shape-area-equal, shape-perimeter-equal ...).

Some things I like about CL:

I find its package and macro system combine to be an amazing sweet spot of simplicity and power for metaprogramming. Scheme's hygienic macro system is the stuff that earned several people their doctorates; CL's is explainable in under a minute, and 99% of hygiene problems are solved by the package system (IIRC Clojure inherits its macro system from CL, using namespaces to solve the "FLET" problem).

CLOS+MOP made me feel like perhaps OO wasn't the colossal mistake I'd always thought it was. It's not the only great OO system out there, but it is great and so much better than the various C++ derived systems that I was first exposed to that it will always have a special place in my heart.

The condition system is great. The only quick summary I can give is that you can have condition handlers run in the stack context in which the exception was thrown (which lets you do much more useful things than running in the context in which you establish the handler, which is how all other exception systems I've seen work).

Common Lisp has amazing development tools; in particular the combination of SBCL/SLIME puts nearly all other F/LOSS IDEs to shame[1]:

It's a high-level language, but you can view a function's disassembly, capture instruction-level profiling data, recompile a single function and rerun all of that without stopping your program. The overhead of edit/compile/debug is essentially zero.

All that being said, I do need to take a look at clojure again (I went through Fogus's "Joy of Clojure" book when it was new, but haven't touched the language since).

1: http://pryrepl.org/ is apparently an attempt to bring some of this to Ruby, but I have on many occasions seen Ruby programmers say that "If you're using a debugger you're doing it wrong" and Pry doesn't seem to have a lot of users.
Tourist do visit the ruins we have, Monk Mound, Mesa Verde, Montezuma Castle, Gila Cliff Dwellings just to name a few. I don't want to be culturally insensitive, but our ruins are not as impressive as the pyramids in Mexico, South America or Egypt for that matter. We have nothing that even comes close to ruins in Itally, China, Burma, Syria, or Iraq.

I've even been to a bunch of ruins and ancient dwellings in the US and I had to look up their names.

"The world is as Just as we make it." - There are limits to this. There are forces far powerful than we like to admit. Systems man made. Systems that are that of nature. With all our might we can bend some of them, but sometimes we can't. Along with things that are full of happiness there are those that fall into depression, poverty, sadness, loss, regret, and suicide. Sometimes we are victims to circumstance.

The man that fell from that tower that day didn't want his world to be what it was on that sad day. He didn't give up as you put it. To me he is brave.
Higher oil prices are good for the Bakken. It's not economically feasible to get at that oil at lower prices, which is one possible reason for the recent over production from the Middle East. Drive the price down low enough and the companies working in the Bakken fold, send their workers home, and it takes a long time to build back up.
