It'll be interesting to see if they can keep the battery power output up for a sustained length of time. Acceleration numbers are all well and good, but racetrack performance is about sustained high-load operation, and Tesla has had some trouble there:

Does anyone know why I prefer being cold more than others?

I sleep with all the windows open and my other half has pyjamas, a double duvet and a hot water bottle. Like in December in Scotland.

I also dislike wearing Jackets or Coats under any circumstances. I dislike hot drinks maybe apart from Soup.

When people go on Holiday and basque in the sun saying it is perfect weather. My actual perfect weather (I believe I feel like they do when it happens) is for a low crisp negative temperature with no wind.

For a long time I have wondered why I prefer this side of the fence and wonder if I have some weird lineage from the North.
What does simulating IoT hardware even mean to you? For example, most IoT stuff outputs one or more values when queried or when triggered. Are you looking for something which generates the values in a way which looks like IoT? That is, a random generator which will generate a temperature over time, or a random door sensor generator which will generate open/closed in a pattern similar to a real door?
It seems to me that it would be almost trivial for you to write these random generators yourself and feed them with the distribution of (time,values) that you want to randomize.
Or are you looking for more intricate simulation of jitters, failures, errors, flaws similar to real embedded IoT hardware?
Can you elaborate?
Why Flutter doesn’t use OEM widgets
I'm sympathetic to your general point but it doesn't seem very relevant to this discussion.

It's one thing to have employment law where you can't hire/fire people at will. I agree that's relatively inflexible and I'd prefer the American model (as a European). There's no free lunch here, you either need to pay for this out of your taxes (as in France), or pay lower taxes and save for the unexpected loss of job yourself (as in the US).

It's an entirely different thing that a company can't meet its basic contractual obligations, i.e. the ability to pay salaries. That's a case where a contract was made, there seems to be something very wrong with basic US corporate law that would allow this to happen, i.e. a company should have enough assets on hand to pay salaries in the event that it goes bankrupt.

In most of Europe companies are obligated to insure against this eventuality. I can't drive a car on public roads without insurance, why should a company be allowed to operate if it isn't insured against failure to meet its basic contract obligations?

I don't see autopilot or any sort of autonomy mentioned for the new Roadster. That sort of makes sense, but I'm also a bit disappointed about it.
What? My decision is based on years of observation. I applauded MariaDB at first, but they almost went bankrupt, merged with another company, changed he business model (release new code parts in a different license). And on the other side I still remember Cyanogen + CyanogenMOD that got so much worse and died because of a certain "sponsor". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CyanogenMod nowadays forked as LineageOS, but many things got lost incl older devices. So a small number of companies with deep pockets are like cancer to open source projects, the good thing is they can be forked. But see MaxDB for an open source database that never got forked, and there is no open source project anymore, it got closed source, and nowadays powers parts of expensive SAP HANA data store. It is better to install Percona MySQL fork, or MySQL community edition.

I think freenet is very different. I know freenet from back in the 2000s. It is a platform to decentrally, anonymously store data. At some point, they did add a friend-to-friend option I think (which is what used to be called "darknet" - now that refers to sites like silk road, but back then it meant closed P2P like WASTE). The closest analogue would be Tor hidden services.

> So basically this becomes viable with...

Well, some startups think they can make it viable. Either they can or can't, but making fun of them for reinventing "buses" isn't going to help.

Likely any company in this space is looking to as many users as possible while breaking even, banking on self-driving tech developing in the meantime. When the vans drive themselves, the economics will change drastically.
I just want to be clear that society at large has instituted regulations like "You need to be 21 to drink" and "You cannot drink in a public park", but there are no regulations on how much you are allowed to drink, that's where personal responsibility to social norms comes into play.

So you're saying it's ok for the government to manipulate you, but not a company, because their goal isn't a vague idea of societal good, it's to make more money? I find it much easier to understand why a company does X, rather than why the age for drinking is set at 21. I take that understanding with me every time I sign up for any kind of service.

If anything should come out of any of this, it's that personal/private information should be fully controlled by individuals in the same way health information is handled. It shouldn't be so easy to generate huge databases of people and claim ownership over them, and it definitely shouldn't be so easy to use those social ties to create an addiction.

All great points, and to the meta discussion here of whether ideas are sufficient, I think you just demonstrated that ideas need experience and experimentation more than they need funding :)

That said, I think the fact that some folks misuse factoring in some industries doesn't mean it cannot be correctly used by many folks in other industries, even alongside other capital sources. Lowering the expense could be one way to innovate. Reducing the chagrin factor could be another.

FWIW, I have been at several >$15MM tech companies and in most cases worked directly with the CFO and team, and I don't recall having a FTE doing collections in any of them; sure it was a problem on occasion. The bigger problem was the routine elongation of the receivables cycle. We got paid in full 99.99% of the time - but slowly. We didn't need collections, we just wanted cash faster. Even at >$15MM...in fact more so!

Reminding them wasn't the problem in my experiences - though I'm sure there are many who have this problem - they deliberately engineered delay into their system. They were rewarded to delay. I have been on the other side of that table, doing the exact same thing admittedly, so I know.

Perhaps, I'm sure it's not a one size fits all type thing, but I would bet that humans (and all animals) are wired to create heuristics for things that could impact their safety, and for more advanced species, heuristics that could indicate something that could help them. And probably throw in some power or ego issues in there too, which might not have any other reason other than to pump up one's self worth.

Seems like a similar article could have been written 10 years ago for "why we rolled our own browser UI components in Flash" with a panel of "popular" sites showing off how they'd reimplemented things like buttons & text scrolling.
In early 2013 I read this article:

It described what seemed like an incredible advance in capacitor design that would allow xenon flashes to be installed in even the slimmest of smartphones.

I consider xenon flashes, which are found in most cameras that aren't smartphones, to be wildly superior to LED flashes, which are used in phones, and assumed that within a couple of years, the new technology would be ubiquitous.

But it never happened. So far as I know, the partnership between Nanyang Technological University and Xenon Technologies never really went anywhere.

After a couple of years of waiting, I even went so far as to try to contact the researchers to find out what happened, but never got a response.

I hope that someday this tech does hit the mass market. Although LED flash quality has improved somewhat, xenon flashes are still so much better.

It leads to the most famous of his ideas and the worst translation of his works. His "Leap of Faith" which really is the "Leap onto Faith." Deciding that what you currently have isn't what you can stand to be the rest of your life and to leap out away from despair and into faith when you don't have faith.

As a cancer dad who has lost a child I am in fairly large network of families that have also lost their child. There has been many times when the grief for friends have gotten so great that they ran into a life crisis. (Usually happens years after the death of their child)They think they are crazy and that they should have gotten to a place of acceptance (That doesn't really happen, at least in my case). There comes a place when you can't just accept your lot without just losing one's self. This leap onto faith seems to have happened with a few families and it really changed people's lives.

I wouldn't call it a lost art... Assembly is used many places, even for new projects. But it makes sense that assembly programming might seem impressive (or antiquated) to the HN crowd, which I have an impression is composed of a lot of newly grads, web developers, and comparatively few old hats.
I only know details at the level of war story, secondhand. I may have overstated a bit. For sure there was a build process relinking in old object code for many years which no one knew how to reproduce. Possibly there was still associated source code, but the object bits had been declared "golden" and no one knew exactly what source version or build process had produced those "golden" bits.

No a mess is not really like serviced apartments. It's more like one big communal house. Most of the areas except bedrooms and bathrooms are communal and you would normally eat together with staff waiting on. It isn't a new idea but most techies probably have not experienced that kind of lifestyle, so will be new to them.

I'd love to live in a living space like a mess if I wasn't married.

Well I would argue it has all the same goals and steps of a traditional contract, but automated and electronic. Your points are all valid today...but I recall similar points about e-commerce and e-banking circa 1999. I can hardly be considered a blockchain fanboy (I own precisely 1.0 ETH for experimentation only). But I do sense that the problems you mention can and will be solved by someone or several someones with enough time and money since there are real pain points here. Maybe 5 years, or 15. But I think our kids will find this post in the 2020s in their AR equipped Waymo and laugh at how we did things now.

Tapeworm and other parasites are fascinating things.

One of the most interesting cases was when Laurent Fignon, at the height of his powers in 1988 withdrew from the Tour de France (which he'd won in 1984, and would just lose in 1989).

The pundits at first blamed Fignon’s problem on a return of the hypoglycemia that had plagued him in the past but, after the eighth stage in Nancy, he suddenly discovered the real cause of his fatigue when his trainer pulled six feet of a tapeworm out of him.[1]

Implicit Nirvana fallacy. Yes, ridesharing is worse for society then using (and voting to improve) traditional public transportation. But it's still much better than the popular default of each person owning and solo driving a car, which sits idle most of the time taking up valuable urban space.

GWT was quite complex. You had to write a lot of code for achieving very little.

There also was a huge impedance mismatch between Java and JavaScript at the time. Nowadays you can write decent functional code in Java but back then you needed anonymous classes for that.

Also it is common in English and most other countries to have different spellings for the same name. In English it is called Anglicisation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglicisation

Jesus was never called Jesus (probably). His name was Yehoshua (Joshua but Hebrew has no J) but when translated to Greek we get Jesus. In French Jacob is pronounced James due to some name meaning of James being having a limp. The New Testament Book called James in English is Jakob in Greek. These things happen for a thousand times.

Also I went to college in Minneapolis and Swedish is used as frequently as Spanish is in most Northeast cities. I met dozens of Sorens and none of them pronounced it differently.
