The most neutral way to put it would be to say "Tesla Reports Loss of $675.4 in 4th Quarter." So yes, there's some hyping going on, to get the clicks from all the Musk haters.

However, this isn't a team that won the game; it's a team that lost $675M in 3 months. That's not wonderful good news that got manipulated and twisted around by the media. Not even if you use that trick where you make up a number ahead of time and then the reality looks good by comparison.[0]

Some will say it's an "investment" of $675M. That will become true if it pays off, but currently it's a loss, and will remain a loss unless/until it makes money. Investments vs. "bad investments" (losses) are defined retroactively in other words, and we dont know yet.

There's a great collection of Barlow's writing here in EFF's archives:

Modern sewing machines are cheaper because the intricately machined cams and drive mechanisms that connected the upper mechanism that moves the needle to the lower mechanism that moves the bobbin are no longer used. They're replaced by a pair of stepper motors that are driven by a microcontroller. Instead of having collars and set screws to adjust timing, it's all solidly built and ruined the minute the stepper motor slips or a tiny plastic part breaks and something no longer actuates. They're unrepairable because you'd have to get the actual OEM somewhere in China to release the source code and put a jtag pinout on their boards rather than getting the chips loaded at the factory where the main board is made. That's the difference. Same reason that cam machines have been replaced with vertical machining centers -- CNC is just waaaay cheaper.
Some of these things are pretty good things to be mindful about in adult life, most of them in fact.

However, applying them all would make you the worlds biggest doormat.

I suspect what’s going on is that they’ve already invested software and hardware time in HEVC and instead of making a corresponding investment in a codec with similar performance they’re focusing that effort on the next generation with better performance. I suspect that if the full story of VP9 performance & HEVC licensing had been known at the time they’d have made a different call; HEVC got a lot more expensive late in the game when a lot of early plans had been set into motion.
Mike Godwin, who worked with Barlow at EFF back in the day, talked briefly about the Declaration of Independence of Cyberspace in a recent essay:

"Barlow, best known prior to his co-founding of the Electronic Frontier Foundation as a songwriter for the Grateful Dead, was writing to inspire activism, not to prescribe a new world order, and his goal was to be lyrical and aspirational, not legislative. Barlow wrote and published his “Declaration” in the short days and weeks after Congress passed, and President Clinton signed into law, a telecommunications bill that aimed, in part, to censor the internet. No serious person – and certainly not the Electronic Frontier Foundation and other organizations that successfully challenged the Communications Decency Act provisions of that bill – believed that cyberspace would be “automagically” independent of the terrestrial world and its governments. Barlow’s “Declaration” is best understood, as Wired described it two decades later, as a “rallying cry.” Similarly, nobody thinks “The Star-Spangled Banner” or “America the Beautiful” or “This Land Is Your Land” is a constitution. (And of course the original Declaration of Independence isn’t one either.)"

> Elon has said many times that rather than make a cheap electric car, he thinks it will make more sense to make a mid-price car that can do self-driving to earn the owner money during off-driving hours that the owner can then use to offset the cost of ownership of a Tesla.

What Elon is really saying is that the early adopters are subsidizing development of fleet vehicles that aren’t aimed for significant individual ownership.

Owning a personal vehicle and renting out it's idle time is a big maintenance and liability commitment which inherentlt reduces the reliable access that is the whole reason for ownership.

Specialized rental operations will be able to optimize handling the liability and maintenance overhead. Individual owners will be better of not owning and doing on-demand rental of self-driving vehicles than renting them out, because specialized rental orgs will drive the rental price down to where non-specialists won't be able to make a profit with the maintenance and liability costs imposed.

Same group as you. I primarily use it for reading.

Just want to group together a few response to you and others about my experience:

-battery life has been fine, especially when used mostly as a reader.

-no web browser/apps is actually a plus to many who are focused on reading or creative things as they are a distraction. LCD tablets fulfill that need fine.

-no swiping on docs is ok by me - less marks from dirty paws

-refresh rates in my use are not 'one or two seconds.' I think people tend to exaggerate wait times in general. A page flip is probably about half a second when reading Reviews of Modern Physics

-I've only had one crash/reboot.

-The latest software seems a bit snappier and has some improvements when it comes to pen use settings

-No issues while annotating pdfs

-its a little bit slow refreshing the document lists/library but we are talking a second, maybe second and half worst case

-I understand why they are using cloud, though its not really important to me (syncing docs across multiple devices). Likewise, nothing I have is super confidential so that again is not (yet) a big concern to me

-the zoom feature is a little bit clunky and can be improved

-I would like a future iteration to include a backlight

-Any future version should also be slightly larger, perhaps
1x1.5. This would likely enable viewing of letter size docs without the need to crop the margins. That said, its only a minor inconvenience to crop things like journals so they are viewable without the need to zoom

-Some ask for handwriting recognition though I think first (and easier) would be some type of option to do version control on modified documents.

-A fair price is probably closer to $450 but have to remember this is hardware version 1

All in all, I am pretty happy with the device and hope they continue to improve the software. Were a second generation to be released, I would consider upgrading if it had a backlight and faster cpu/memory combo.

[edit for clarity]
They are principles; meant to be guiding rules of thumb, but of course not meant to be applied blindly and systematically. Otherwise they would be dogma.
The entire point of the paper is to show that you can observe a statistical anomaly like wage disparity whenever you compare two different populations, even when you essentially control for job effectiveness and isolate out any influence from malicious discrimination. The Uber case is being used to crystallize an example where there exists a bias in the results, and yet it is clearly not due to prejudice. It is illustrating the point that just because there is a pay-gap doesn't mean the source of the pay-gap is employers who don't properly compensate their female employees. Non-malicious systematic influences can easily cause such an effect.

And yet you still have people in here wondering what we can do about this new problem, or how this just goes to show that it's really the SYSTEM that's biased, man. All I can do is shake my head at this point.

I don't know about violence in Ubers specifically, but in general statistically men are more likely to be the victim of violent attacks than women.

If men are simply more willing to face those risks for money than women, how do you fix that (apart from trivial theoretical solutions like "remove all violence")?

Relaxo actually grew out of Couch DB.

Relaxo used to be a couch query server (https://github.com/ioquatix/relaxo-query-server - not so useful any more) and ruby front end (https://github.com/ioquatix/relaxo-model - still useful). But I got frustrated with the direction of couchdb 2.x so I rewrote it to do everything in-process and use git as the document store. It organically grew from that.

Unless you are operating at scale, doing things in-process is vastly more convenient. Sending ruby code to the query server to perform map-reduce was a cumbersome process at best. It's easier just to write model code and have it work as expected.

Systems like Postgres a great when you have a single database and multiple front-end consumers though. You'd need to put a front-end on top of relaxo in order to gain the same benefits, but it would be pretty trivial to do so - just that its never been something that I've needed to implement. The API you'd actually want is one that interfaces directly with your Ruby model instances, rather than database tables and rows. I think there is room for improvement here - probably implementing a websocket API that exposes the raw git object model and then allowing consumers to work on top of that.

Are you looking for a solution, or more information? _The information: a theory, a flood_ by James Gleick is good. I read it because I'm in that line of work, but I think it's a good summary of why content is produced and what the challenges are. You could also do something like _The shallows_ by Nicholas Carr, which is more of polemic than anything else, though I did enjoy it.

Perhaps _You are not a gadget_ by Jaron Lanier or _Hamlet's Blackberry_ by William Powers, but neither of those are books I could finish.

Finally, I read _Deep work_ not long ago and thought it was pretty good.
I didn't do anything on the level of speech. I figure it's a form of 'treating the symptom'—of course I'm not a medical professional, though :)

One thing that did seem to help was just changing my values about how much proof one should have in order to act with certainty. I was reading some William James and he talked about the tradeoff between one's ability to act and one's choice to continue contemplating possibilities. I had previously viewed it as without tradeoff to continue analyzing possibilities, never fully committing to one viewpoint—it was just a good thing, an expression of my capabilities as an analytical thinker. I don't see it that way anymore.

I still have some anxiety issues but they don't run my life anymore. I think the biggest thing was regaining trust in the non-conscious parts of myself—seemed like I was living an extended Centipede's Dilemma (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Centipede%27s_Dilemma). Meditation seems to have helped also (partly in relation to regaining trust). Learning to see anxiety as okay or at least totally beyond one's control, rather than trying to fight it, has also helped.

I get the insanity, but you don't need to no tell anyone anything--maybe mom, or dad if they have a rebellious streak in them, and most don't.

The last person you tell is your girlfriend. I know it's difficult, but it always backfires.

There's a book out there called "How do you Keep a Secret between three people? Kill the other two."

The book is about law breaking Bikers, but the title goes to the extreme to tell the truth.

There's a part of me that wants some bad guys to get away clean. I guess it's a FU to the system? A system that forgets some of us?

I once had a girlfriend, and we were watching Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. She enjoyed the movie. And the end, she was glad they were shot.

I looked over at her, and was astonished. To this day, I think about that night. She was a very conservative girl, but cheated in college. She's now a very powerful head of tech something.
It's probably that most people hate the idea of making fake porns of people who don't want to be in porns, and if one likes to pursue that idea, the companies they can find will also harbor other crazy ideas.

These ideas basically self-select fringe groups.
Even if they are the same factories (if talking about genuinely expensive/quality stuff, not something that just has celebrity name markup on it) the process and quality control are quite different.
OK, I see why people like this list. But I would definitely argue with several of the principles presented.

Here are some examples.

Be patient. No matter what.
There are times when presenting impatience is the right way to get results. They are usually overused, but deadlines do have a proper place in your motivational toolbox.

Never assume the motives of others are, to them, less noble than yours are to you.
Never? And what if the other is lying, cheating and stealing? I fully agree with "do not lightly assume", but "never" is the wrong standard.

Never lie to anyone for any reason. (Lies of omission are sometimes exempt.)
If a person is using force to attempt to steal from me, or harm those I care about, it is fine for me to lie to them in self-defense. Again, "never" is the wrong standard.

Reduce your use of the first personal pronoun.
I find that people are much more likely to accept and act on criticism if I tell a story about myself which parallels the problem that I see. (Sadly "much more" does not mean "very".) This is a concrete example of how my increasing my use of "the first personal pronoun" was a good thing, not a bad one.

Remember that love forgives everything.
Only if you define forgiveness in the right way. If someone steals from me, and I have a loving understanding of them, then I can forgive them their past action. But I still probably shouldn't put myself in a position where they can steal from me in the future.

Endure.
I did that with my ex for a quarter century. I learned that some things SHOULD NOT be endured. My life is much better now.

I haven't been to San Francisco in a very long time. And that's one of the most beautiful things I've read in a long time.

I struggle every day with the mask I put on for others+. Embarrassment or shame over my own hobbies or interests, even when there's nothing to be embarrassed or shamed by. To witness those people living their lives on their terms like that...it makes me tear up just thinking about it. No, seriously. I'm close to crying right now. How great it would be to be in such an environment where people felt completely free to be themselves. Maybe I could take it in by osmosis.

I guess the US Government / Air-force, and other launch customers paid for the launch since they have active Falcon Heavy contracts with SpaceX. This test was part of the certification process.

"Ponzi scheme" seems to have become a catch-all term for any fraudulent or unusually risky financial activity. A Ponzi scheme is when you use the deposits of new investors to pay promised investment returns to early investors. Since no one is promising to pay interest on cryptocurrencies, I don't see how they at all resemble a Ponzi scheme.

I had obtained shop manuals for every car I ever owned. Almost always I only used them to find out how to disassemble something. Somewhat interesting observation that before model year 1995 or something like that the shop manuals generally included detailed mechanical drawings of various custom tools and jigs (detailed enough that you could conceivably manufacture the thing with dremel and lathe), since then you only get order numbers.
