Genuinely asking here, because I know very little about batteries;

What happens when a gigantic battery like that starts failing and needs to be replaced? Can they be recycled or maybe refurbished?
I’m no Tesla defender, but how is anything “known” about a car that was first announced a couple of hours ago?
Yes, that's a real problem. I took my Model S P85D to the track (fun, but felt really heavy in corners) and had a concussion for 3 weeks afterwards. And that was just Insane mode, not even Ludicrous.

No, the key part of the complaint is that the combination of price rise and tax structure mean that a lateral move requires liquidity he does not have.

It's a first-world problem for sure, but it's still a problem caused by the fact that we have various fairly dumb tax policies.

Elon Musk decided that spending days or a week preparing for a presentation is not the best use of his time. At least that much time is generally what it takes to pull off a really smooth presentation. I heard that he does not script them and just does them off the top of his head.

Tim Urban has a great essay about different levels of prep people do for talks [1] which he wrote when preparing to give a Ted talk. Musk's talks are on the "Wing it" side of prep while a Ted talk is suppose to be on the "Follow an exact script - Happy-Birthday-Level memorized" level.

Deep learning will allow software to infer how your comment maps to a CRUD operation, and instead of having someone code up a backend and think through a schema, it'll happen on the fly.

So yes, I suspect deep learning (or ML more generally) will eat up a lot of the CRUD, glue code, and repetetive data-pipeline related crap I deal with daily.

I yearn for the day when I can tell my db "store this" and "give me that" without having to think of the umpteen* data stores that back it all.

* No joke. We have a real-time feed, a few warehouses, and external data sources we need to wrangle to build applications. From my perspective, some statistical machine could easily do that with a bit of human help.

If you think we should rearchitect our infrastructure, your right! But doesn't that seem like something a computer could be good at?
What it is used for is unrelated to what its capable of doing. The danger always lies in the capability, not the intent.

Thanks. I didn't know that distinction.
Yeah, I think it makes a very poignant statement about the potential of VR headsets when VR enthusiasts don't want to use them. SLers are the real deal, people like zuck just don't get it. Too many people have dismissed SL foolishly. Glad it survived and proved them mostly wrong.
I'm looking at the exact same source you are. What part of what I said is not correct, exactly? The capital gains are $1 million. $500k of it is excluded (assuming you're married filing jointly). The rest gets taxed.

If you think that's incorrect, what do _you_ think happens with taxes when selling a home for $2 million that was bought for $1 million?
Uh oh, I think I'm about to rant. Scuse me.

Given how cheap even powerful general purpose computers are I don't think they ever will be prized beyond availability. Aficionados, internet stores, arm, Linux, market forces, etc.

To some part, good riddance. Software engineers and product designers are the reason the PC is effectively broken by design in UX. Because they are inexcusably slow. There is 0 reason anything I want to do with e.g. office would not have 0 wait time except non-user centric design. My friggin circa 1984 Mac Plus felt faster on most stuff than the generic desktop PC.

The decade when Moores law gave freebies to software is probably one of the reasons for this astronomical sluggishness. Application feels slow? Well, just wait a year and get a new faster CPU. No need to spend resources on optimization.

I don't know who started with the idea that it's smarter to buy more hardware than to spend resources on programming but if I had to guess, it were the mainframe vendors. Cool for embarrassingly parallellizible batch processing jobs for massive bureaucracies, not so much for desktops.

And don't get me started on the idiocy of thinking it's fine software developers don't need to develop domain understanding in the field they operate.

With the general purpose computer desktop development, we have a system that's broken on so, so many levels.

At least Os X seems to try to do the right thing at an attempt at fluency and I can get a linux desktop to operate smoothly. Even windows 10 starts fast but O brother and sister of the clunkyness of software.

Despite what I said, I think the situation is improving. Immediacy in handheld devices puts pressure on the desktop to concentrate on not wasting the users time as well.

Let's see how it goes.
This really destroyed my day. I really have a big problem staying positive for at least a day now that you've eloquently expressed what I've had a creeping feeling of but just quite couldn't word in any discussion.

Yeah yeah, but unless it can do this, it will impress no Lambo buyer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_SR4WlncmC4
Pretty simple, really.

1) People are building business with cryptocurrencies

2) Bitcoin is the biggest, oldest, most conservative, and most reliable of the cryptocurrencies

3) Therefore, as crypto businesses grow, transaction volume increases, and more people need to hold and save in Bitcoin

4) More people holding and using it, with a supply that is capped, means the value per unit would tend to increase with growth

Now maybe that growth is over-estimated, or already priced in, or speculative forces have over-shot the true value.

Or maybe more people are finally waking up to the real potential, and it's actually under-valued right now.

Hard for me to know. That's why it's curious that others have such great certainty.
They clearly learned the power of the preorder with the Model 3! This is a great way to raise funding without going back to the equity markets.

thats probably true with the machining tools, but if you wear gloves and a helmet there's really very little damage you can do to yourself or the machine with tig. they also generally make you make mig before tig which is kind of a waste.

if you add up all the fees, assuming you have a big enough space, instead you can buy a lot of that gear used or on the low end. have a blast learning. keep your work and stock next to your tools, and specialize in the processes that interest you.

the only exception i can think of is the sheet metal tools, they need quite a bit of floor space and are shockingly expensive. i don't think tech shop had a water jet, but that too would be worth paying for time on.
Now if only the folks in front of me would accelerate from the on ramp to the highway at more than 45mph.
Indeed! I didn't leave too much to the imagination with my replies on the original post[0], though.

Honestly, I'm mostly curious about how much of "KVM" you're running that's stock, how much is modified, and how much of the userland is running on the far side of PCIe rather than in host ring3 (particularly given "C5 instances are built using a new light-weight hypervisor, which provides practically all of the compute and memory resources to customers’ instances.").

From the situation as you describe it, it'll likely require a government mandate or "Good Samaritan" type of law to resolve the issue since it derives from fear of litigation. Unfortunate.

I imagine getting something like this implemented at a state level in one or two key states could enable collection of large scale medical data for analysis on behalf of the public.

Edit: Question for you, given your experience do you think it might be possible to convince big pharmaceuticals to collect high fidelity data if said data was collected into wearable devices and only processed after the fact? As analogy to use a "black box" recorder approach rather than flight control systems. Though not sure how far to take that "black box" analogy.

With abandoning of segwit, Bitcoin will step away to other coins, because of the high transaction fee. It's already too high, so only large sums make sense.
Idk about you guys but this is not what I think of when I hear the word "cookboook"
To use your Google analogy, Google in 2004 might have looked like a "one trick pony" and people thought they were not worth $23 billion.

In time Google came up with products like Android, Gmail, Chrome, Youtube etc. They moved away from their "one trick" of relying only on search engine ad revenues and serving ads on those platforms as well. Given that serving up ads is getting costlier if they relied solely on search ad revenues, no one knows what might have happened.

So, on that note pray tell what kind of diversification is happening in bitcoin? People can't even let go of a simple change like the block size. There is so much infighting for it that any thing else looks impossible.

Unlike what people, specially bitcoin supporters, think many believe blockchain has a future but not like this hype fueled boom. As the same guy noted in the end -

"Sago noted that blockchain is a great technology and one day bitcoin could become a major means of settlement.

“But that will be years away, possibly more than a decade -- so there’s no need to buy bitcoin now. Since no one knows when the bubble will burst, the best thing to do here is to stay away from it,” he said."

E-Ink. It is the "correct" choice for display technology, and with enough research money put into it, it could replace these abominable light-emitting displays. But what we already have is "good enough", despite all of the hidden costs, and so we're stuck with it.
Symbolism is a powerful thing, isn't it? It holds all the power in our lives, bestowing meaning upon one thing and withholding it from another.

I certainly don't mean to justify modern organized religion, but it seems without a strong sense of symbolism and a bit of superstition to hold it in place, it's hard to get anyone to subscribe to your cause.

We see this kind of dramatic rhetoric everywhere we turn as people vie for our attention and support, irrespective of the organization. How are we supposed to protect the masses from such a profound system of control without engaging in symbolic gestures ourselves?
I've tried it before as well (because of studies), but I found it tensed my body up so badly I could barely move.

I wonder if there's a way to condition oneself to somehow ignore it and not lock every muscle up? I'm not necessarily talking about Wim Hof, but it would be nice if I weren't so easily affected by cold.

Am I the only one who's worried that Tesla is really starting to bite off more than they can chew? Right now their finances are a mess, they are publicly struggling to produce their most important car ever, their CEO is spending time figuring out how to dig holes underneath LA...and now they're announcing a semi truck and a roaster in the same day? Don't get me wrong, Teslas are incredible cars. But this seems like an overreach considering they are struggling to figure out how to meet demand on the Model 3. It's also insane to announce this car with what boils down to a bunch of CGI! These are some very bold announcements and there isn't much explanation for how these goals will be met. I hope this all turns out as advertised, but I'm very skeptical.
I found flights to Curacao on Flychecker  at 605 €
Cost is still a big factor - you need fairly decent hardware (minimum GTX 970 / RX 480) for an acceptable experience on Vive/Rift, and we're still a generation away from that performance hitting mainstream price points (generally nVidia's x50 range is considered mainstream, and next year's, let's call it the 2050, will probably be around GTX 970 performance).

Even once you have the hardware, you need the space, and you need to decide to spend $500USD on a less-versatile HMD rather than a high-framerate gaming monitor.

For me, space is the hangup - my main PC has the grunt, but I share the space with another PC on another desk, and that takes up all the floorspace. The cost of getting more space makes the cost of PC hardware look trivial....
Give Tesla a few months before you decide that the Model 3 release is a fiasco.
Yep. I've found that my troubleshooting methodology and being able to break down complex systems is equally transferable in between software and mechanics. I think that systems and software people are the "modern" mechanics of the world. It explains a lot as to why my father and grandfather were both mechanics and tradesmen, and I'm now a systems guy.

Competing anecdote: I once dunked for a few minutes into a very cold bath at a Budapest bathhouse, and the next few days suffered one of the worst flus I’ve ever had.

Keep doing whatever works for you, but I don’t think either of these provide especially convincing general evidence. (Note I’m not blaming the cold bath; for all I know I would have had identical symptoms either way.)
This guys says as much towards the end -

""Sago noted that blockchain is a great technology and one day bitcoin could become a major means of settlement.

Did people really think the arms race of heuristic malware detection in bolt-on security software would be be sustainable?

Sandboxing applications and ending the free-for-all over the user’s entire file system were a long time coming. Then spammy software download websites and “Download Now” banner ads bigger than the official download buttons for popular software made it obvious that we needed a trustworthy distribution center. Of course someone starting an OS in the mid 2000s wasn’t going to adopt the Windows shareware distribution model.

The Linux distribution model of a vetted, quality controlled repository of software from a trusted middleman was so obviously superior, of course it won. I guess it’s surprising that iOS got so far with no escape hatch, but Android is the far more popular platform and has always let more technical users peek over the walls if they so desire.

I’m more surprised that so many people are content to type on glass. I was sure that the blackberry keyboard was the future.
Mobile Augmented Reality or ARKit, But it was just hype as previous. I mean nothing in mainstream.

I think main reason is UX or User Interface. It is very hard for people who do not know how it works and expect it to work perfect (in low light etc) as with normal user interface of smartphone. It was not very intuitive for normal user because of Smartphone limitations.

I can think that it might take in future if they improve the correctness of platform. It have lot of potential and let's see what future brings.

> But, alas, 200k, I want it to be perfect forever. Even used in 5 years @ 130-150k.

The good/bad thing about electric cars is that they're sort of like computers right now (they're getting twice as good every 1-2 years), so I expect they'll depreciate more along the lines of used smartphones than (the existing market in) used cars.
Do you really need those numbers though? Why not cut down the power a little and make a more fun car to drive? The P1 is RWD and people love driving it.

At the end of the day, a roadster of that price is at minimum a second car and more than likely just an expensive toy. Make it fun.
He states that they have spent a lot of time talking to truckers and truck companies. I would guess they believe that with an electric drive train repairs and maintenance will be an order of magnitude lower (not sure how that works for tires and wheels). Body damage should also be much lower with automatic breaking and other features of enhanced autopilot. As Musk said, broken glass is a big cost for trucking as you can drive with a broken windshield. They think they have a super glass that is "nuclear blast" proof.
