Sure that worked well for Tesla early as they were growing, but this is a company that is already shipping three vehicles to the consumer space.

They shouldn't be trying to do "small quantity" work , and instead should be focused on going wide and getting those Model 3's out the door to the those that have already bought in to the Model 3.
I would have thought, by now Anti Ageing related research and products would be mainstream but most of that area is still fringe research and the products seem like snake oil.
I didn't know that, that would have been worth looking into. Depending on your job the local water jet shops can be reasonable. but we pay more than the tech shop monthly for a smallish 2 hr job. Kevin at SMP is pretty close to the ex-TS location.

> Chiron is traction limited for most of its run

This sounds very dubious, unless it has negative aerodynamic downforce. Even then, the times for each successive mph drop off too fast for it to be traction limited. Even F1 cars are not traction limited for more than a brief spell of straight-line acceleration. Aero drag dominates very quickly.

Cornering or braking, on the other hand...
This car will bring in hundreds of millions of dollars in preorders immediately, and cost much less than that for them to produce when they get around to it over two years from now. That doesn't seem like a good idea to you? If Model 3 isn't in full production by 2020 then the company will no longer exist anyway.
Eh good riddance. I recall encountering a litany of safety issues at their first location. For instance... a properly set up machine shop has the milling machines placed in the corners of the room, and the remainder with shields around them. This is so that if a part is improperly fixtured, the part won't be shot out of the vice at a neighboring operator. When a certain mill made a terrible noise at the speed I needed to operate it at, I was told to crank the speed up until the noise went away. This is when the location was run by the core group of people who started it... and thus I'm not surprised that it was mismanaged at scale as it grew.
As I've previously mentioned, it turns out that natural language processing on the natural language webpage that users see is a better way rank pages than invisible metadata.
For real life advice, you should learn and develop your understanding, skills with the help of different articles & with live demo.
These computers do exist on tabletops in labs; the problem is that it's comparatively difficult/expensive to mass-produce and miniaturize these components compared to silicon (where you can etch billions of transistors at once on a modern CPU). There are really cool things you can do, especially in terms of continuous/non-discretized-time computations, but I wouldn't hold your breath for this to become mainstream.
The economy version is the ultimate goal, along with industrial applications like the Semi. But high end cars make headlines, make people believe and make people excited about the future. That’s more important than you’d think in getting the economy version to be a reality.

Though I do understand the concerns about constant hype and not fully delivering on it, I think that’s infinitely better than the alternative where nothing happens at all.
Gas will always have sound. The growl of an Aston Martin V12 on startup, or a Lexus LFA screaming through a tunnel, or the flat-plane V8 burble from a Mustang GT350. EM cars only have a dull whine the faster they go. Motorheads are secretly all musicians who happen to love driving.

The best combination is ultimately both though, hybrid systems are already used quite frequently in everything from LMP1 WEC racers to modern hypercars.
>If I was a consumer sitting on a Model 3 reservation I would be pissed that they are taking yet more money for yet another car they can't seem to ship at scale.

I mean, by the same reasoning, Model S owners should be pissed, Model X owners should be pissed too. But the money from both seems to have made Model 3 possible.
Well you should see how common they are in China.
Exactly my point. The "huge" improvement is perceived as important although has no real impact on advancing the field and solving core real issues.
lol what? Your comment was specifically countering my statement:

> Make it work correctly and efficiently

Now you are saying: well obviously if it's full of bugs and slow as hell then it doesn't really work.

Which is exactly my point.

You can't claim that something "works" if it doesn't work "correctly" and "efficiently".
> Lower drag coefficient than a bugatti veyron

Also, the coefficient is then multiplied by the frontal area of the vehicle. A semi has a helluva frontal area.
> a lot of Chrome's success came because they "made it work" in ways that Firefox (horribly wasteful of CPU, memory, battery life)

Uhh, do you have an ounce of self awareness?

Yes, it performed way better than Firefox, which is exactly my point.
True I haven't even touched on them either! Tesla has yet to prove they can build cars at scale, they are nothing compared to current auto manufacturers.

I think they are biting off more than they can chew.

I have two big reasons why I didn't get a smart watch. Number one is the price, I just don't think it's worth hundreds of dollars not to pick up my phone when I get a notification.

The other is that the interface is too small to do anything but consuming notifications or looking at a compass. And, I just don't see the problem being solved by speech recognition either, I don't want the rest of the bus to know that I have to Google "where do I buy bigger condoms?".
I could be wrong, and this play could totally pan out.

But their current Model S, X, and 3 aren't exactly flooding the market either.
If you walk down the street you will see literally hundreds of people owning it as an asset.

So yea, they don't care. But does it matter ? People are happy as long as they get paid at the end of the day. They don't care about the quality of code written.

Not saying its a good thing or bad thing. Just the way it is.

Neither are internal combustion engines. What crumples are structural supports, not all the components within. And if they go that route I guess they'll go with slightly different battery chemistry as well to avoid a fire. They might have to do so anyway to sustain power output.

can we please be honest here? Is anyone who's claiming it's all about "staying hip with the skillset" actually over 40? Because if you are, and if your skillset totally matches what the job asks for, and especially if you are nimble and quick to boot, then I promise you have heard "overqualified" and "culture fit" many sad times, most often after you nail the first sixteen (i kid, but only a little) interviews in record time and find yourself at the sunny end of a kick-butt onsite at which your facial lines can be seen. Then what was once "the team loves your passion and personality" becomes "we just don't think it's a culture fit". I'm going to have to start sending in a body double. It's that bad/sad/stupid.
Eventually at some point, you have to get some work done, and you just can't do that with a tablet screen or a touch interface. The mouse and keyboard will reign, and even if the concept of a non-sanboxed system goes away, the future will still have hardware which look like desktop computers and laptops. The OS filesystem won't go away because applications on these personal computers need to be able to talk to each other somehow, and the current iOS method of "launch a file in this application from this other application" is too limiting. The only thing that will change is the application packaging, which will become optionally centralized and have permission levels just like Android apps. I think overall, future computers will be just as pleasant to use, just as programmable/configurable, and just as easy to download software from decentralized sources.

Just think, Chrome OS has essentially failed to take over the OS market, so I doubt anything using this overly-sandboxed model will be successful in the future.

Briefly about lottery: In each round there are 100 slots for betting on 0.01ETH. You can fill one or more slots. The minimum bid is 0.01ETH ($3) Upon reaching a fixed jackpot of 1ETH size, a raffle and prizes are distributed to the winners. In each round, 20 slots win. Each winning slot brings the winner $12. At the end of one round, the next round will immediately begin. The maximum length of each tour is a week.
R&D engineers and car designers are usually separate people from manufacturing and supply chain engineers.

Now that Model 3 has been passed onto mass(-ish) production, Tesla is using those engineers to develop other products. Tesla would lose those talented people if it asked them to just sit and do nothing, or if it asked them to work on areas completely outside their (not just lose, but lose to competitors).

I'm out of date. Does E-ink still have ~500ms latency of refreshing the screen? If so, that's the #1 reason I believed it wouldn't be successful when I used them 6 years ago.
There are also undocumented instructions and prefixes. For example at this year’s DEFCON someone presented a particular kind of e9 jump prefixed with 66. That instruction is incorrectly disassmbled by all hitherto known disassemblers (IDA, gdb, objdump, VS, etc). And since that will change the length of the instruction, effectively you can make the disassembler produce garbage.

Gonfig: Go package for program configuration
UDP for fast file transfer.

Working in the television industry at the time and a few companies were making tools based on UDP, for sending large files across public networks. Smartjog, Aspera, Signiant. The companies are still around, but only operating in the B2B space as far as I know.

I thought this technology was going to replace FTP. People wanting to punt bigger and bigger files around, they needed better tools. Smartjog even open sourced an early version of their tool.

Anyway, it didn't happen. I'm not in the televisual industry anymore and find myself entirely satisfied with the current file transfer tools commonly available (FTP!). I guess there was just never consumer demand and I was looking at things from the perspective of a very narrow niche.

It may seem innocuously altruistic, but there are bigger implications of this work. If Watsi donors are paying for the healthcare of individuals in developing countries, what incentive do those developing country governments have to build functioning health systems?

Is it somehow better for the patients if they are allowed to suffer or die because they can't afford the treatment?

Perhaps it's true that in the long run, crowdfunding individual treatments gets in the way of the government building a health care system, I'm not sure that's true. Look at the dismal state of public health care in the USA, one of the richest countries in the world.... it seems debatable that much poorer countries are even capable of coming up with a workable public health care system.

But in the meantime, why not help some people out that otherwise couldn't afford the healthcare?

I understand that it can be degrading to have to put your healthcare plight on the internet and beg for donations to survive... on the other hand, what other option do these people have today?

Thanks for citing mow.cli [1] and glad you're liking it!

And you are spot-on regarding closures: it was a design choice made expressly for the purpose of being able to:

- scope command specific flag and args, instead of having one giant catch-all context map

- declare real and typed Go variables instead of something like context.String("--option")

- use the same pattern as the flag std package (flag.Bool, etc.) which I liked a lot

Of course, but what I mean to say it's a not-insignificant amount of short term (2y?) cash.

More generally, my point was that producing a high-end vehicle with (most likely) much better margins for the company than, say, the Model X, would subsidize advancements in their more accessible options.
No cars under 2s and about 20-30 under 3s.
> This is several years of development which amounts to wasted resources in light of the manufacturing setbacks of their truly disruptive product.

Different teams. Model 3 design & engineering was completed in July.

The folks working on the Roadster design would've otherwise been idle (or mostly idle except for maybe any refinements that might've been necessary due to production process limitations/issues) during Model 3 production ramp.

I'd place good money on them having already produced the first draft of this design as part of the whole lineup remodel that did away with the Model S's nose-cone prior to the Model X launch. i.e figuring out a "Tesla" design language that worked across the S, X, 3, and R (and perhaps the Semi, to some degree)

It works because they're using a stack & roll approach to financing the corporate build-out.

In two years they'll have a new thing to take deposits on. Stack the pre-orders, roll to the next announcement, deliver the last thing, then do it all over again. They're floating a lot of cheap financing this way.

In the meantime, the approach of announcements & pre-orders keeps their stock charged, which they can also abuse for financing if necessary.

It's precarious and dangerous (inevitably stock market decline & recession), and it works extremely well while it works.
I’d say cars to belong to that category. Oh, and guns sold to private citizens maybe?

Something that really impressed me is how smoothly the Model S launches in the Wet, see here:
https://youtu.be/iyXSJAICaBc?t=210 [Real Time @ 3m30s]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNzLTW_l2q0 [Slow Motion]

Elon talked during some event how the latency / response time of the torque control in the Tesla drive-train is ridiculous compared to gasoline and for that reason even RWD models should handle well in the snow. To be fair, some people talk about the (at least older) RWD models being a bit crazy on Snow/Ice. I can only assume that the newer models are much better and the Roadster likely better again - plus it's actually AWD but anyway the point was more about the torque control :)

By comparison one of the kings of Launch Control is well known to be the Nissan GT-R. You can see in this wet launch that while it still does a great job, it definitely has some spin as it basically intentionally causes a loss of traction at the start, calculates the traction available based on the acceleration it does get to then adjust the power output and differential splits.

For other really fun scientific/computerised stability control, this video about the Koenigsegg Agera R is great:
https://youtu.be/SywqgH7n-5g?t=34

It shows him literally reefing the wheel side to side at 1m15s while full throttle. Even my 2009 Evo X has surprisingly good stability management in the wet - and it is now probably nearly 2 decades old technology behind any of these other cars and only a 50k car not a 200k-1m car. Still crazy and computers are amazing.
It wouldn't be wrong to say that I took an extended vacation from early 2015 to mid-2017, if not from the industry entire, then certainly from modern fullstack dev - spent the time working with best-of-2008 because reasons.

Coming back, there weren't all that many surprises. I went from first exposure to ES6, Babel, Webpack, protobuf RPC, and Kubernetes, to shipping, inside a month. And I am not in any way special. So I hope I might be excused for feeling I have some basis for the statement that I think you're vastly overestimating the scale of the issue here.
To avoid redundancy, here's why I don't think phones and tablets will take over the concept of a personal computer in the future. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15719836

I believe the situation is even better. Desktops and laptops, no longer needing to support the layman on their phones and tablets, will actually become more oriented toward the needs of power users, although their total userbase may decrease. In a decade, Macs will no longer be heading toward being "Facebook machines" because you can do that on your phone, so Apple will focus more on the target userbase of creative digital artists. Windows machines will always need to support word processors and CAD programs but in ways that are cleaner to install and manage. Linux will keep growing to keep up with the number of programmers in the world, so more professional and amatuer solutions will be made available.

There are too many cheap, low quality PC hardware solutions in the market now. Their users will switch to phones and tablets. Higher class hardware will remain the same as the power users will keep buying these.
