The point at which Tesla will become not a pie-in-the-sky wet dream is when the price point matches a run-of-the-mill Honda.

Right now, having a Tesla is like having a Maserati.

I know zero people who have one, my wife (a structural integrationist) _works_ on people who have them, so I am like two social tiers away from thinking of affording one, which, for me, is like dreaming of that Kawasaki Ninja I had postered on my wall as a ten year old boy.

He, and his team, need to dramatically scale down costs somehow. I read something cool today about Chinese charging stations that swap batteies instead of sitting and waiting to recharge. I wonder if something like that with an attendant would work to extend the battery "life" ad infinitum for grids in other nations.

Seems like his head is on straight though. He took profits and looked up. He said, yeah, I could drive down prices on my car by saturating more, but I'll build rockets that don't waste as much on reentry costs instead. That's smart innovation, that's passing the baton in the 400m instead of sprinting 10m and saying "I win!".

I do think there is stigma (even in my own mind, and I really am a fan of Elon) surrounding borrowing money over and over, but the reality is: almost EVERYONE does this. If you aren't Dow, or Ford, or some huge ass fucking company that has a war chest the size of Dubai, you aren't going to weather the stormy market conditions we are facing as a result of globalization (see Brexit et al for moreon that topic of discussion).

Businesses need floating because they don't exist in a vacuum, they exist because they aren't welcomed by their competitors, in fact, they are actively "sabotaged" by those that stand to lose market share, and that, my friends, is a HUGE problems with mercantilism. Unless we decide to get along, it's not going to get better, and corporate espionage has not lessened in my lifetime, not by a moonshot.

So, yeah, play nice and he and those like him will stop having to borrow money, and maybe he will throw us a bone and make a car that doesn't cost as much as my entire post-secondary education (including grad school).

Peace y'all.

Using the GitLab calculator: If you are a developer in Medellín you are paid 3x less than if you are living in the Bay Area. If you are a customer in Medellín you pay the same as a customer in the Bay Area. In this case, "cost of living"[0] only applies to employees and not customers, which in my opinion says a lot about how much the company values their staff.

I appreciate the openness from GitLab on this matter though, they're pretty up-front about it so if you don't like it don't apply.

[0] When the word "cost of living" is mentioned but it's not reflected in the price for final users then you know you're about to get fucked.
> If your litmus test for "viable" is what currently makes you the happiest you'll be blocked off from not only helping the world but likely helping yourself too.

I find that terribly narrow minded. It's not about "happiest". I've tried almost all of those before, several of them in multiple ways. I don't like the taste nor texture. So since I don't like the taste of what you like I am thusly being selfish and blocked from helping myself and the world?

This isn't how you win people over to your side. This is the type of thing that actually reinforces someone's opinion and makes it worse getting through to them.

Instead of trying to make yourself sound better than the person you want to convince of your position, you would be better off trying to find common ground and working from there.

Unfortunately it is impossible to know volumes of crime because you can't know about all crime and you can't rely on the reports of people who report the crime you do know about. Both of these are tainted by biases.

And even if you would know, and it turns out that blue men commit more murders than green men, would that make it not racist to shoot a blue man just because he is blue and therefore more statiscally likely to be a killer? He may also not be a killer.
For those who wish to hear this sort of story from the author's own voice, Finkel was recently interviewed on Maine Public Radio: http://mainepublic.org/post/north-pond-hermit
"I doubt they are any worse than any other company introducing a new model."

Except they are. The Model S is 5 years old (even the refresh model is a year old) and they are still running into parts and build issues. It has improved a long way but during the whole process they had to cut the number of interior and exterior colors/trims just to streamline the production. Other manufacturers introduces new fit/finish and trim options along a model's life span and Tesla does the opposite.

Case in point, the original P85+ came with sports trims inside (such as the red piping on the leather seats) and some unique fit and finishes, with unique sports suspensions and chassis tuning. But later on they eliminated all of those and now a top of the line P100D have the exact interior trim and chassis tuning as the cheapest S60 that cost less than half as much, all for the sake of streamlined production.

And even then they can't find parts for when cars need service or are in an accident.

This argument boggles my mind. Are we all body builders? Why do we need to eat like them? There's this protein craze going on that we all need to eat the densest sources of protein cause we all look like Arnold.

What does Hyperscript have to do with web components?
Understand. We can be careful to be more accurate even in less technical contexts in the future.

Serverless is supposed to mean: a database with serverless pricing, for serverless applications.

There's always a tension, too, between "does a feature exist somewhere" and "is it actually usable?". For example, you could perhaps run MySQL Cluster across multiple public clouds...but would you want to? It's surprisingly hard to design for true cross-continent global replication, and the additional latency of crossing public clouds makes it even worse.

We've tried to design the best database. We can put in some bugs for you to give it some downsides.
I'm not a fan of punitive jail sentences for exactly this reason, and I feel like the purpose of prison should be two fold:

1) Primarily to remove dangerous or disruptive individuals from society for as long as they continue to pose a danger.

2) Rehabilate and educate people who became criminals due to a poor upbringing or lack of opportunity, and to move people into medical or psychiatric treatment when relevant.

I don't think punishment vengeance or deterrence should be considered at all. Obviously certain people are going to be irredeemable and should be kept in prison for the rest of their lives. But it shouldn't be because they 'deserve' it for whatever reason, but because they're likely to go back to crime on release. I think certain white collar criminals should be as likely to serve long sentences as people who commit armed robbery, depending on their motivation and background, etc.

Hi Nico, I'm sorry that you suffered our unreliability this week. We do try to update @gitlabstatus for everything that we see happening, no matter how small. We're determined to make GitLab.com a reliable platform, but we realize we still have a long way to go.
This isn't correct. The atomic updater classes don't rely on generics to do anything. What they do is perform safety checks on every access to ensure you don't segfault your JVM, resulting in heavy performance losses compared to sun.misc.Unsafe.

I'm sorry if I seem a little obtuse here, but... why? If you need the files from the actual game, and the actual game comes with the tools to run it (i.e. DOSBox), what is the benefit, or in fact the real purpose, of this project as-is?
You eventually realize that it's next to impossible to hate someone when, if you were born into their situation, with their genetics, their environment, their condition, you would very likely have done the same exact thing. There's a tragic amount of predetermination in life.
And this is a perfect example demonstrating why no one will ever win a protracted war against an entrenched insurgent population.

Holy smokes!! Commander Keen takes me back to when I first discovered hacking, clear back in the early/mid 90s. I actually met a good hacker friend of mine on a completely different continent on a train. He was playing Commander Keen on a laptop and playing the music super loud. I recognized it and introduced myself. That was almost fifteen years ago and we still work on projects together!
I'm not fully up to date with that, but I think it was meant to be enabled for more residential streets recently? And the AP2 is also still speed limited making it somewhat useless on interstates?

In any case, I'm pretty sure there shouldn't be a button that instantly makes your car swerve into the ongoing lane..
> Does it really matter that much?

Yes. Not every person "damaged" in this manner gets a life sentence, having committed lesser but still serious crimes. How we treat them in prison and afterwards matters, and an understanding of the causes helps.

Punitive, harsh incarceration likely creates/exacerbates a bunch of damaged people with little hope of a future afterwards.
There you go then, it sounds to me like sticking with your original choice is the wise move. I for one wish you the best of luck, and wouldn't be surprised if you ended up fairly happy with your decision in the end.

Yup. I'm a "trailing spouse" for an American diplomat, and this is so true.

One thing that always, always, always happens to Americans when we repatriate is the "grocery store freakout". At some point, you will go to a grocery store, and freeze.

"Man..." you'll keep saying, "Americans really love breakfast cereal..."
One thing that makes this easier is that FaunaDB does not support session transactions, rather you must express your transaction logic as a single Fauna query, which is executed atomically. Transactions can still involve arbitrary keys, however.

And yes, for reads, by default the coordinating node chooses a timestamp and uses that to query all involved data partitions. Each partition will respond with the requested data as of at that timestamp, or will delay responding until it has caught up.

One nice thing about this approach is that any chosen timestamp is enough to provide a consistent snapshot view of the dataset at that time. This ends up being useful for bulk or incremental reads, where a longer running process needs a stable view of the dataset.

Do you happen to have some examples of these problems? I recall there are some

running into other problems as well.
It would probably be easier to have charging stations with people hot-swapping batteries, than charging station with extremely fast charge times. It would be a task that could be automated right out of the gate too.
How Big Data Is Changing the Business World, and Why It Matters
I don't think you can class the likes of Breivik with common criminals or run-of-the-mill manslaughter/hot-blooded murderers, or even professional killers. Breivik is a self-professed enemy of society, he sees foreign armies all around him which he is entitled to fight with lethal force. There is no solution for that but to keep him away from anything and anyone. This is not even punishment, this is simple protection of the species. Even if there were a cure effective 99.99% of the times, society simply cannot afford the 0.01% risk.

By all means treat him as best as you can, but he just can't be released in society anymore. The best you can hope from him is that he becomes a great monk.
Temperature in this sense no longer has anything to do with kinetic energy. A quantum system at absolute zero would simply be in its ground state, which is perfectly possible. In open space you only run into problems that there's not a particularly clear minimum.

You do run into some problems with quantum fluctuations which may or may not randomly add energy to the system, I guess that's what this new result is about.
A master probably could pass it onto their students though. Imagine if we had apprenticeships for software dev the same way we do for other trades. A first year would come in and see how things are done, work on some minor things. Later on when they have skills they can handle more projects themselves and eventually take on their own apprentices. Most of the programming people do is the same old crap and anything new can be learned by self-education there are science components but overall I think we're far closer to trades than a lot of people want to admit.
True. US gangs totally do the same thing, but more often with phone area codes which are also 3 digits, instead of the more verbose 5 contiguous digit format of zip codes (the US equivalent of a post code). "I'm from the four eight two three four" just doesn't have a great ring to it.
I imagine there are probably plenty of Uber engineers who are stuck with vested stock options that they can't afford to exercise. If they were to leave before an IPO they'd be losing out on tons of money. Golden handcuffs.

Honestly though, this comes up a lot "catching more flies with honey" but I don't think these things should be spoken about obliquely, truth should be spoken plainly. I spoke true to my experience and knowledge as best I could and tried to be as polite as I could. Best of luck to you as well.

>Women invented computer science.

Please stop pinkwashing history. Women did not invent computer science. Also, the gender gap only needs to be "fixed" if it is true that women have an equal interest and potential in computer science, this has not been proven. The push for more women in positions of power in tech (who will thus displace men, and know to whom/what political faction they attribute their success) is a power grab by the American left to seize control of a power and influential industry they can use a tool to advance their interests. This is why there no real push for gender equality in female-majority fields, or non-lucrative/influential male-majority fields, e.g. offshore oil rigging or construction.

It's correct that if EVs take off, there is going to be a lot of new demand for batteries.

It is also correct that as a car manufacturer, owning a battery producing company and selling to the rest of the industry, is a competitive advantage.

It is not correct that building both of these companies from scratch, in parallel, is the way to do it.

Focus on building cars an become the leader in that, then buy Panasonic or a flailing manufacturer.

As someone who was diagnosed with Aspergers, and someone that greatly dislikes annoying, confusing, and overly excited people that rely almost entirely on certain forms of non-verbal social cues to communicate (to the point I think they're just as broken as I am, just in the exact opposite way; they seemingly lack the ability to use words and logic to convey ideas, preferring emotions and impulsivity to interact with the world and others)...

I doesn't sound like some of these people were particularly bothered by him getting free groceries and otherwise leaving the place essentially untouched.

I am not saying that makes his choice "morally correct" or anything. But, you are trying to impose a determination here that dramatically differs from the evidence we have been presented for how some of these people felt about the situation.

>- You can't reach infinity

That's the hard bit. The infinity could simply be an artefact of your description. You could for instance describe direction on a map as 'miles east / miles north' and conclude that it's impossible to move due east or west but that's clearly not the case.

A more sophisticated example would be the event horizon of a black hole, where several quantities seem to become infinite, but it turned out this wasn't the case with the right coordinate system, meaning that it's likely all too possible to cross the event horizon.
