I mean, technically it is a potential explanation, just not necessarily a correct one.
For the past 15 years people had been trying to make the mass market EV. The envisioned future was that the every day man would be driving this basic EV instead of their $15k ICE commuter car. That was the goal, obviously influenced to a great extent by both fuel prices and climate change concerns. All EV car models before the Tesla Roadster were trying to target this market.

The Model S targeted a new market entirely. Nobody had tried to do a luxury sedan EV and kodus to Tesla for spotting that niche, but that was not the goal that everyone else was chasing. It was something else entirely.

From an economics and from a technology point of view, building an $80k EV with decent range is insanely easier than building a $15k EV. Even if it has to be a luxury car and look good. It still gives you that $20k leeway to equip you car with a massive battery.

The misleading part was trying to claim that they had solved the problem that everyone else was working on, when in fact they had not. And they still have not today as evidenced by the $35k price tag of the Model 3.
As far as I know it's not. Here are two pieces of anecdotal evidence:

- cycle responders in London [1]. I can't see how private companies can get enough "client density" to afford the fleet in a congested city centre to reduce response time. Moreover, centralized dispatch is inherently more efficient.

- centralized and somewhat open control of life-saving procedures' efficiency [2][3]. In this particular case it's children heart surgery. NHS not only applied country-wide risk-adjusted statistical model, they also did a project to communicate it to patients. I'm not sure if it's possible in the US healthcare system.

From the POV of a recent immigrant it looks like most dissatisfaction with NHS stems from their approach to mundane and/or chronic problems, that's where you see GP resistance and long waiting times. They seem very good at not letting people die. Arguably it's a reasonable tradeoff given their constrained resources.

It doesn't.

We've had user-based permissions in the mainstream on personal devices ever since XP, and they have totally failed to protect us from anything. It is an utterly broken, worse than useless, backwards model of security for this class of device.

If you think I'm wrong, by all means tell me why instead of just downvoting like some reddit user. I'll happily provide you with a list of all the ransomware that didn't require even a single elevated permission to ruin someone's day.
The Bolt has DC fast charging, the Volt is a PHEV and would make it from LA to NY with 5 minute stops.
That is a very interesting perspective, and as far as I know it is correct, though perhaps Intel's situation in the mobile market was exacerbated by complacency?
Their margins are limited by law and the people paying (employers) are mostly price inelastic.

This puts them in a position where they're incentivized for costs to go up, because 15% of $2000 is more than 15% of $1000. In other industries, you'd see insurance companies push back because ultimately consumers will push back and either drop insurance or switch to another provider.

Switching insurance at an employer, though, is a colossal undertaking that is bound to frustrate employees, so often it isn't done. And until recently, individuals would be fined for not having insurance, so dropping insurance wasn't really an option.

If consumers were the ones paying for it, switching weren't a pain to do, and insurance companies weren't incentivized to maximize costs, that'd go a long way toward fixing this.

You can be sure there's a young hotshot with sparkling eyes at SEC who is already typing a letter to Mr. Krzanich politely asking about the circumstances of that sell.

At the same time, noone is doing eight figures transactions which require reporting to the SEC without talking to a lawyer. Right? Right?

Daycares in the USA get away with it, and, sadly, a lot of parents are very happy about it. Look at the gender % for daycares and elementary school. This is actually a rather larger problem since we are not properly providing young boys with role models.

The whole point of my Echo is to play music and set timers and pre-heat my car in the morning and such. There’s no avenue for any consumer anything unless you allow it by using the device to shop. I don’t entirely understand why people are surprised that using an Amazon device to shop on Amazon might result in biases toward what Amazon sees as beneficial. Buying stuff with a voice assistant is antithetical to the sort of comparison shopping you need to do to have a hope of retaining some agency in what you decide to buy.
The reason the US healthcare system remains as it is, is because it's actually working extremely well for the top 1/3, which also happens to be most of the voters.

If you make $50,000 per year in the US, which is the median full-time wage, your healthcare is almost entirely paid for by your job. The top 1/3 earns far more than that, they have extremely good coverage and extremely fast access to healthcare - along with easy access to the world's best medical technology and drugs - that is superior to comparable systems in Canada and the UK. The top 1/3 in the US do not suffer from rationed care, as other systems do. That top 1/3 has access to elite doctors, and elite hospitals. That top 1/3 is the wealthiest large group of people on earth, in basically every regard.

That top 1/3 has absolutely no interest in changing the status quo until it no longer works for them.

The elderly in the US also do not want the system changed. In France, Canada, the UK, and many other similar nations old people have highly rationed care access. Whereas in the US, old people drain an immense share of healthcare resources, far out of proportion to comparable nations. Old people in the US are a large voting block, and a rather powerful influence group (AARP etc) in terms of lobbying to keep what they have.

The bottom 1/5 gets free healthcare, and it's OK. In the US, it's primarily the next 20% above the bottom 20%, that suffers when it comes to the existing system (they make enough money from time to time to fall on and off free healthcare, they're trapped in healthcare hell frequently, and they make up a large percentage of the people that declare medical bankruptcies every year).
If they don't offer to pay you for your time you should not bother. Sometimes such tests are actually real work disguised as interview tests.

You had the whole spectrum throughout the year. It is interesting how a company can change from great to complete opposite in a year time.
It reminds me a bit on my 2016, I left eventually after one more merger happened, it was hard to follow which companies joined ours, which systems are going to be ditched and so on.
I think the idea is that it is worse because the bug is in the hardware. The OS patches are just a workaround to make the hardware bug unexploitable, and they can lead to a significant performance penalty.
Honestly, that serves Google right. I've been saying it for years how stupid Google is for encouraging 99% of Chromebooks to be powered by Intel chips (even more than Windows machines), when the Chrome OS itself is architecture-agnostic (for the most part).

It was just stupid through and through. Even today we see ARM coming to full versions of Windows, but Google is still kicking it with Intel CPUs.
I work at a Fortune 500 (non-tech) company, and your first two paragraphs are very familiar. I’m not sure why people often act like the government has a monopoly on lazy and incompetent people.
Indeed. Musk is a tech guy. The real tech guy, not the usual CEO of a tech company, who really does mostly marketing and management. He knows his physics and is involved in engineering decisions. For me personally, it's Musk who defines what does it mean to be a "tech CEO", and most companies we discuss here every day don't even qualify.

> I remember reading a book about Tesla and I always felt like he saw opportunities in the gaps existing between what is available and what is possible.

My view is that he focuses on what should be possible from first principles, ignoring whether or not our short-sighted markets find it desirable at the moment. It's a good strategy if you have a non-monetary goal in mind and resources to bankroll the efforts at forcing the markets into accepting your work.

>It seems like it's pretty hard for the government to compete with private industry in compensation. Federal pay grades are capped by Congress, and the top grade is around ~$150k a year [1].

For the kind of work that some divisions of the NSA does, it's the only place you can do it legally. If that's your passion and you don't want to risk fines and jail time, well you have to take the pay disadvantage.
ok. I was more thinking about the "INTC decline" than the "AMD rise". you make a good point with previous volatility.

I didn't have options activated till this morning, because i hadn't gotten around to it. Had I been able to activate them yesterday afternoon, I'd be in on INTC and AMD, both sides. Anyways, I have options in play on the intel side but not the amd side, so while "Talk is cheap" - I'm in.

The argument is not that "it's unfair to compare". The argument is that everything else being roughly equal, people prefer to wait for the Tesla because of its style.
Oh my, the mental gymnastics you're doing. Males and females are asked to rate eachother, males clearly rate females in a normal-distribution way, females highly skew it in favor of the more attractive males.

Steve Jobs was basically a salesman. A brilliant one. Nothing bad in that; I just wouldn't call him a "tech leader" - he was involved with technology only incidentally.
> I think Model S solved electric driving.

Not so much: The actual Cannonball record is a bit over half the EV one -- 28 hours and 50 minutes -- and Roy himself drove it in 31 hours and 4 minutes. I'll be curious how much of their journey was charging time, a figure someone will probably extract from their GPS track soon.
Hi ericschmidt, your comment is dead for some reason, so I'll reply here

I like Jason Fung's theory best too, but there still are some problems. Its true that I've mischaracterised it somewhat, but he seems to hold several theories at once, for example:

* The overflow theory: https://www.dietdoctor.com/new-paradigm-insulin-resistance

* The insulin desensitisation theory: https://www.dietdoctor.com/insulin-causes-insulin-resistance

The desensitisation theory (eating too many carbs too often without pause we desensitise our insulin receptors, causing increased insulin secretion) has the same problem as the lock-and-key/fat model - how come the liver receptors are still just as sensitive to insulin when it comes to producing fat? There is some inconsistency there, for sure - its either my lack of familiarity with the topic, or a problem with the theory.
Building Static Haskell Binaries with Nix
I am saying that men have less of this difference in the first place.
> Women are far more off in self-reporting their levels of attraction, arousal and the reasons for it.

Women are conditioned by popular culture to resist sex at every turn, either to play "hard to get," to not be too "easy" for men to take advantage of, to not be perceived as slutty, to outright being taught by media that sex is something women dole out as a reward to the men in their lives, not something they are supposed to enjoy, let alone instigate.

It's not at all surprising to me that they'd be reserved about what revs their engines, where men are very straight forward because that's what we're taught that we're supposed to be.
The stock price is the present value of the future profits. Since this shouldn't have a huge effect beyond 4 years, that's saying profits for Intel in the short term would be down by 20 percent.
What, they are never allowed to sell shares then? There are constantly bugs being found in major software and hardware.
Government has been doing this for a long time already. To see it in action, just try to buy some thalidomide, or book a flight with an airline that only requires 20 hours of training for their pilots, or buy a new car with no air bags. The question of whether the government should decide what people should be allowed to use or what products should succeed was answered a long time ago with “yes, it should.” The only question here is what side of the line this particular product falls on.
Well currently they'd have to completely rebuild the hardware.

This person gave a very good explanation here:

https://np.reddit.com/r/Showerthoughts/comments/7m91u9/if_go...
I never said "wife", but I did say you were free to assume. You can comb through my whole history of comments here on HN; I have never (to my recollection) said what I am or what I am married to. And that has been almost entirely to avoid ad hominem in discussions such as this.

As a matter of fact, my spouse acts a lot like my father and I act much like my mother. He also makes every little task a needlessly complicated affair, but he largely does it to get attention and recognition, as an insufferable extrovert. And then he doesn't get it, because my mother and all their children only look at the actual results. Somehow, they're still married, even after so many decades of putting up with the other one's crap.

And my spouse and I are sorted. As I mentioned, the only way to not do any of the work yourself--including the mental/emotional effort--is to let someone else do it their own way. So if my spouse does a job in a way that I find grandiose and inefficient, that's fine. If I do a job in a way my spouse considers to be half-assed and slipshod, that's also fine. There is an equitable division of labor insofar as we can both agree on what actually needs doing.

Either of us is, of course, free to do other things that the other person does not care about, but that work will not be paid as well with the intra-family currency based on gratitude and respect. The greatest sticking point is that my spouse wants to be paid (in that currency) by the hour and I want to be paid by the job. And that mirrors in miniature all the people out there that believe in the labor theory of value, versus all those that do not.

I don't care how hard you work at something, or how long it took for you to do it. I only care what you got done. And if you did something that no one else wanted, your effort doesn't count for as much as if you had done something that everyone needed. So when I hear you say that women do N hours more work inside the household than men, I feel I must rebut:

Time is not how everyone measures the value of labor.

That, of course, raises the question of how the value of labor should be measured. The tick marks on your household yardstick might be equally useless or worse, like SLoC or story points. Anecdotally, I have found it's usually better to not have an accounting based relationship, and to avoid keeping score on everything. If you feel emotionally as though you're working too hard, and your partner not hard enough, maybe talk about it to move expectations closer to reality. But telling your other that you are working 18 more hours per week on your relationship than they are is not likely to produce the result you are hoping for.
On an organization's network, protecting resources from the user is a concept that makes sense.

On personal devices, protecting anything from the user is a backwards and broken model that doesn't respect reality. It's the user's device, they should be able to use it any way they want. There is no need, or desire, to protect it from the user. What we really want to do, is protect the user's data from malicious actors, and getting in the user's way and annoying the crap out of them doesn't accomplish that at all (case in point: ransomware).
My guess is that it will help cloud providers. In most cases they don’t guarantee x operations per second but rather the type of cpu you get. If that type now gets 30% less performance you’re most likely going to have to pay 30% more. Again the guarantee is not on operations per second but either exact processor, class of processor, or processor units.
> You tried very hard to make 'computer science programming nerd' not roll off the tongue, just sayin'

This was a pun that "for the average person" computer science, programming and nerds are "all the same" (and they don't care the slightest what this is all about - they just pack all these esoteric things together into one package).
I think his math is right but that still equates to 9.5$ a day on food and travel just to break even which is a lot.

It's not something special to government, it's just that any place with a lot of red tape, a lot of organization/bureaucratic process, and where one person is a relatively insignificant contributor will have it. The problem is that for many government is the biggest example of that type of organization.

> If you could know all of the addresses of important kernel routines, you could potentially execute a "return oriented programming" attack against the kernel with kernel privileges. Without modifying or injecting any kernel level code.

The user <-> kernel transition is mediated (on x86-64) with the SYSCALL instruction, which jumps to a location specified by a non-user writable MSR. How does return-oriented programming work in that case?
Inside that negativity there is some truth too. Tesla for one is leveraged 7:1 and that too in a time of easy and near zero interest rate credit. With Feds changing rates they might be painted into a tight box.

I am sure situation is same for SpaceX too.

But if a man earns enough to pay for the needs of his wife in addition to his own, that means he is paid much more than her. I wouldn't deduce that from the man's total compensation, since it essentially is an expense like any other.
>where you can wear a hoodie instead of a tie.

A little off topic observation here, but people who can't handle adhering to a business professional dress code are exhibiting a low resilience personality. Not a good thing.

Not to mention the reality that a button down shirt, slacks and a tie, when properly fitted, are not constrictive at all.
