That comes with an assumption that right now is the only time Tesla want customers to buy a car from them. Tesla wants these customers to buy another car from them again 3 years from now, and wants them to show off their Tesla to all their friends and have them remark about how cool it is, so that they want to buy a Tesla three years from now.

Not having the fit and finish perfect is going to be something that works against them on both those fronts. If Tesla is truly deciding to optimize for production targets over quality, that seems incredibly shortsighted.
As I understand it, that "inventory" is from their policy to repurchase cars from owners to assure a high resale value. They discontinued that program in 2016 apparently [1]. They also repossess cars that they financed for buyers.

I haven't found any evidence yet that they don't sell every car that comes off the assembly line, to an end user.

Both of those factors interact. However, it would be ridiculous and extreme to say that human culture is entirely genetically inherited and transmitted. Given the data, I'd say that the lion's share of culture is learned. When it comes to biologically based systems, the lesson of Darwinian vs. Lamarckian evolution in 2018, is that, "It's complicated."

I agree, but I think you overestimate: (1) how many companies actually care about security and (2) how recent this security-focused movement among large companies is.

Furthermore, Cisco deals with security problems that few other companies worry about, such as the wide-scale availability of counterfeit devices and convincing foreign customers that their devices are backdoor-free.
> The purpose of this library is to prevent TC39 from adding Array.prototype.smoosh and Array.prototype.smooshMap as replacement names for Array.prototype.flatten and Array.prototype.flatMap. They usually don't listen to popular votes, but they do listen to the Web and usages of JavaScript in the wild. So here's your chance to vote with your code in production. Put this library in your production large-scale website (it's very tiny! won't hurt) and we'll have a compelling case for TC39 not to break backwards compatibility.

Why do I not want TC39 to use smoosh or smooshMap?

It's important to point out that thinking of free versus paid in financial terms alone does not reveal the true scope of the issue. As you are probably aware, you are 'paying' with personal data, which can be viewed as a more durable asset than cash. When you can afford to pay for something, you can buy it and it's a done deal. When you pay with data, the other party knows something about you forever. They can sell it an unlimited number of times to an unlimited number of buyers. It is quite different from a one-time monetary purchase.

I'm not going to preach that one way is right and the other is wrong - I just want to point out that they are two quite different schemes. Also, you sound well educated and underemployed - I wish you good luck and hope you get paid closer to what you are worth soon.

I have been pulling back from Google services every time I see them do something I disagree with. Doing it one service at a time helps with the transition. I switched to DuckDuckGo and from Chrome to Firefox. I also transitioned from Hangouts to Signal, but that was because Hangouts is garbage. Eventually I will put Google in the same group as Microsoft and Oracle. Those companies must atone for sins in their past before I can trust them again.

The comparison with Redis is on page 10, and (obviously) takes into account the number of threads. It is a bit presumptuous to post a comment like this without minimal effort, please don’t.

Regarding embedded processing, it’s very easy to embed whatever single-threaded language you’d like into C: Lua, Javascript or something new like Gravity. This is orthogonal to the storage / network architecture.

A better argument would be on the extra operations and data structures that Redis offers, not being a simple key-value store.

> The deflationary forces spiral the economy lower and lower.

With free banking, there won't be net deflation either, as the market forces on the creation/destruction of money prevent it.

As pretty strong evidence, there was no net deflation or inflation in the US dollar from 1800 to 1914, while the economy grew from subsistence farming to superpower.

To argue that this cannot work, one must explain that.

That's funny because I think of emacs the same way... it is my editor and Unix is my IDE. The only "modes" I use in emacs are different syntax-highlighting and the occasional visual buffer-compare to unsnarl a particularly awful merge conflict. In spite of being a Lisp and Scheme programmer back in the day, I have never had an urge to extend emacs with anything. I think it simply has the right UX for me.

It possibly goes all the way back to me using Wordstar on CP/M as a child, which had a similar buffer-focused UX with control keys to temporarily do some non-text entry. I also nearly always use emacs in X windows mode with multiple "frames" (separate X windows) opened into the same set of buffers and rely on the mouse-driven menus to find less frequent options and commands that I don't keep in my muscle memory.

I can get by in non-X mode over SSH but feel crippled, much like I do when vim is the only option on a system. Then, I'll just get in and out quickly to make small changes, preferring to navigate around via the shell/grep/less etc. while I plan my attack on a file.
I use Tarsnap for storing backups of my files. Data is encrypted client-side, so the server can't decrypt it. Tarsnap is designed for backups, though, not for general file storage.

So original creator posts videos of static. Then another company says, wait, we have a copyright on that and so they start getting revenue from the videos. The original creator now looses revenue while they go through a process to counter the notice.

This is fair, how?

Why should the other party automatically start getting revenue? Why can't that money go into escrow and whichever party prevails gets that money?

The problem is Google has no incentive to make this better.

For fixed mortgage rates, the inflation over the period of the note is guessed at. The reason fixed mortgages charge more interest than adjustable ones is to take into account the risk of inflation increasing.

Many other loan rate, such as margin interest, are "prime rate plus X". The prime rate is inflation plus a constant.

Again, the people loaning out the money are not fools about inflation.

> The bit about compressibility tickles my mind.

One of my favourites is 'electride' bonding, where you compress a crystal so much that the electrons get squeezed into the gaps (interstices) between atoms instead, essentially making the electrons themselves act as anions.

This is really cool, and makes you wonder what other exotic high-pressure physics waits to be found.

At least in the US, they tended to win those lawsuits, thanks to the fact that online content hosts receive a liability safe harbor if they comply with the DMCA provisions around takedowns and terminating repeat infringers.

This was one of the good details of the DMCA, although other countries implementing the WIPO Internet Treaty may have done a less hoster-friendly job.

Unless the problem was lawsuits outside the US or they wanted to make the US lawsuit nuisance go away (both entirely possible!), I imagine they started playing nice with the media conglomerates so as to be able to offer Google Play Music, Movies, and Books, for all of which they need licenses.

Note for anyone who looks at my profile and sees Google among my former employers: I never worked for YouTube, Google Play, or Google legal and had no involvement with these decisions. I'm not speaking based on inside information or otherwise speaking for Google here.

The person I'm responding to said, "I mean, if you're in the US you do live in the safest place in terms of foreign invasion in the world." (emphasis mine). Their wording indicates that they think the US is also a heavy outlier in terms of safety. So I think the comparison is fair.

I picked Switzerland because it's a fairly unambiguously disproof of their statement, but I agree that there are a great many other examples of places which are safer from attack by an outsider than the US. Depending the criteria you use to measure this, the US probably doesn't even rank in the top 10.

Nice job missing the context:

Inflation is good not because of inflation itself, but because of what it signals: a growth in demand outpacing the growth in supply.

If supply is not outpacing demand, there are no investments in additional capacity.

> thats actually how malinvestment occurs.

No, that's how gains in productivity work. And that's how competition works. As demand increases, multiple agents will invest independently to supply that demand, leading to oversupply, leading to reduction in prices, leading to trimming out of inefficient capacity and a new equilibrium at a higher efficiency than before.

That's the economic cycle.

> price inflation is a necessary consequence of monetary inflation.

But not vice versa, you don't need monetary policy to have inflation, you don't even need a monetary system, or even "money" or currency. Inflation is just a continuous change in value between two goods due to a difference in supply/demand between the two. If there were only two commodities in the world, A and B, both with the same demand, but A is being produced at faster rates than B, there would be inflation.

> a gradual increase in prices is a sign that more dollars are chasing the same amount of goods, ceteris paribus.

Indeed, so there will be more dollars invested in supplying those goods.

> not sure that condescension is warranted.

That's not a condescension, it is basic economics.
I write all the official DevTools docs. My docs philosophy is “more energy put into a doc = more knowledge retained”. So I strive to make my tutorials as interactive as possible. DevTools is particularly fun because I can embed the interactivity directly into the page. In other words, you learn how to use the Console by opening DevTools on the very tutorial page. You press buttons and see messages get logged. You use the Console to change the text content of a DOM node on the page, etc.

My other philosophy is to solicit feedback as much as possible. I’m always on the hunt for new ways to find out if users actually find my docs useful. At the bottom of the page I make a personal appeal for feedback. My reasoning is that people have banner blindness around feedback, but if they know that it’s actually coming from me, and that I actually look at it, they’ll be more likely to take a moment and respond.
That is a fair point, the 'second' car sale is going to be tougher. And yet that has always been the case since if Tesla is/was successful the second car purchase would come at a time where there were many more choices.

Very few people are alive today who have witnessed the founding, growth, and eventual success of an automobile company. It is an insanely cash intensive kind of thing. The whole notion of discriminating on fit and finish is its own interesting story when Japan, which was synonymous with "junk" cars decided to compete with American car makers on fit and finish. Until that point, only very high end German cars were achieving the level of precision that defined good engineering at that level.

There is an interesting lesson here for people who are able to see it, around prioritizing cash expenditures to achieve the highest revenue (and thus survival), rather than engineering excellence. There are examples of dead companies that went the other way. Understanding this trade off is the difference between a senior engineer and an engineer who can operate at the executive level.
