It is clear that Tesla is failing to deliver any competitive advantage besides its early start.

It has failed to achieve what is the standard baseline for mass production of cars today, a sustained production rate within controlled quality parameters, and failed to differentiate in other areas, falling behind most other automakers (and non-automakers) in innovation (especially autonomous driving).

There is still hope that it will solve the Model 3 problems, but at this point (including the desperate "volunteers to prove the haters wrong" email) it seems more and more unlikely.
Warning: this warning contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
I always disable third-party cookies and I’m actually surprised by how rarely it’s an issue. Get your point, but the approach makes me suspicious it’s less about protecting users and more about getting them under Mozilla’s increasingly-suspect umbrella (see their recent efforts with Cliqz).

When people say "overregulation hurts small business in California," here's an example. Imagine just wanting to sell people coffee and not knowing you need to warn people about cancer risks of all things! Imagine getting fined by this regulation, or the myriad of others of which you could possibly run afowl. Just yikes.
Also things you probably shouldn’t eat all the time either.

Angular 5 is very popular now. Big teams with data intensive administration dashboards are choosing it over React.
While that certainly does factor in, it normally just means that it takes longer for it to change. And well, people have been murdered with guns for centuries already, so I think those would cancel each other out.
Oh God you've brought back some memories from when I assembled my PC.

I also bent a pin. Now, the pins in my case were on the motherboard (my understanding is that this used to be reversed, and they used to be on the CPU. Frankly, I am quite happy that they're on the mobo, since that's the cheaper part) and IIRC they don't point straight up (they're slanted, and just kinda graze these contact points on the bottom of the CPU).

It turns out that, for my particular motherboard, ASRock's manual's instructions and images describe a different piece of hardware than the one I actually had. Same model number though, IIRC. As best I can tell, at some point, there was some sort of hardware change, but like so much tech, the docs were never updated. It was only after scrutinizing the manual very closely that I discovered the error, but it was already too late and the damage was done.

I contacted ASRock about it, sent them images detailing the differences and obviously laying out the problem. The representative essentially just sent me the same bad instructions back. Finally caved and had it repaired, which they did not cover under warranty (which I consider a violation of the warranty). (I also finally figured out the correct procedure, which I had to figure out in order to send the motherboard back to them for repairs, as they claimed they would refuse it if I shipped it with the pins exposed, which is extremely frustrating when they also can't tell you how to actually accomplish that.)

The next motherboard I buy will not be from them.

Finally got it all back, and now, equipped with the knowledge of how not to screw it up, got it all assembled. Still didn't boot. Got a friend with a working machine to swap parts with until we could isolate the failure; turned out to be our first guess, the PSU. But it was somewhat surprising at the time, as we thought the PSU was good. You can short two of the leads on the main plug from a PSU with a paper clip, and that is essentially the signal to "turn on" and start supplying power. We did this, and it would start right up, but it never started when hooked up to the motherboard itself. Beyond that, IDK. (and since you have to short the two contacts w/ a paper clip, the plug isn't attached to the mobo at that time, so you only really power things like the DVD drive, the fans, and the HDD, which mostly then go into loops b/c they can't find the motherboard.)

Finally, it booted. I'm never taking that CPU out again, either.

Californian voters need a warning that Californian voters enact stupid laws.
A buddy of mine did a 3 month training program at BBG after undergrad, so I can confirm that they have a program of some sort, complete with an independent project. He also said that his class wasn't all on the same level when it came to experience, so the collaboration with others learning new technologies with x years in the industry was invaluable.
Living causes cancer.
Don't forget about the $800 Alternative Minimum Tax faced by every company registered in the state (or doing business in the state, or having workers in the state, or...). That's $800 even if you make zero dollars, or if you're a nonprofit, or if you lose money. California literally says "for the privilege of doing business" in the state. The ole small business assassination program.

FB is on a whole different level in terms of revenue (and profitability) and users.

While it may be possible that FB fails, there’s not a whole lot of symptoms apparent that it will, unlike MySpace.
California seems like a state of contradictions. Antivaccine yet some of the best universities. Too much regulation yet opiod overdose is prevalent.
That fact seems tangential to his comment.

Should carcinogenic warnings be on all those examples he mentioned? If no, why should it be on coffee? If yes, why isn't there legislation pushing for french fry warnings?
Key bit right here:
"These vehicles are being stored on an interim basis and routinely maintained in a manner to ensure their long-term operability and quality, so that they may be returned to commerce or exported once U.S. regulators approve appropriate emissions modifications,"
Welcome to Costco. I love you.
I remember realizing I could reassemble my dad's 386 out of the parts I had stopped using.

I used to go to a screwdriver shop (in Federal Way?) that had some memory and a power supply sitting around at the counter. They would POST a new CPU and board in front of you before you take them home. Less stress than ordering from some random in the Computer Shopper phonebook.
In fact, I think that is what it means to lose the war :)
Im studying CS right now (community college) and we have two low level courses. In the first one we use Nand2Tetris and also build a SAP-1 (simple as possible) computer following Ben Eaters YouTube series. One of the coolest classes I've ever taken. We all built an actual working computer on a fricken breadboard.

The second class is the one im taking right now on x86 assembly and its cool but definetly not as fun as building a computer from scratch.

If no ones has watched Ben Eaters videos I highly recommend them.
Good idea, but just as easy to detect (send a message).
A bit of both.

Lots of designers/devs will use existing assets to save time. They often pull materials from asset packs that other designers publish, as you mentioned (The Noun Project also comes to mind).

On the other hand, a lot of designers make it a point of pride to make their own assets from scratch. I'm certainly in the later camp, though I have friends in the former. It's nice to be able to say "I made everything on the site", but there's a definite cost in time and effort and pain.
Mertonian norms (Merton's norms)
I had to look again at the date of the article, since I remember Starbucks already had these warnings a long time ago:

That doesn't make the situation any less absurd, however.
This really is an excellent addition to the horror show that we in America call a health system.
This seems like misplaced blame honestly.

Cooperatives is the best thing you will get. (A company owned by its clients).

But clients around generally clueless how to run businesses. So they either don't excersize their voting rights or they vote for incompetent managers.

One solution is cooperatives that have no operational assets and outsource everything. Then they still have bulk buying power.
I'll ask again, what does any of that have to do with launching satellites and distributing radio bandwidth?
Why write conflicts? Contention, sure, but contention isn't an issue until you have literal tons of it.
I agree, cheaper health care is what we need, and hospitals can cut back on some unneeded expenses to make that happen... but my fear is we'll just see more low-cost low-benefit healthcare plans instead. I'd work with an older x-ray machine if it meant a little cheaper price. I wouldn't, however, buy a healthcare plan than didn't include x-rays just because it was cheaper.
Heh, happens all the time when you bring your car from a northeastern state to a mechanic in the south.

Why’s your car in such bad shape?

It’s called rust.

What other car has better autonomous driving?

Which is ironic given that Tesla is in the old Fremont facility where Toyota schooled GM on how to do exactly that ...
Introduce vibration. Physical controls give you a topology to orient to. A flat screen doesn't.

Every control becomes an exercise in sustained hand-eye coordination.

Talk about your distracted driving -- or flying.

Can haptic feedback really help with that? (Serious question: I haven't had the opportunity.)
Apple.com before any product launch is probably the gold standard here.
These questions are almost impossible for some of us to answer completely. I own entire domains of email addresses and make them up on the fly, I've also thrown away dozens of "social media" accounts in the last five years for trivial reasons.

That's why this initiative in nonsensical. They'll never know whether the answers to these questions are complete and accurate. I'm pretty sure that later tonight, a new paragraph will go into the ISIS handbook saying "create a Facebook account in your real name that you can give to the authorities, that has nothing on it except for pro-American content". That would actually be good advice for all prospective travelers to the US. Lock down your real profile before your trip so that it can't be searched for, and maintain a separate, public, very vanilla profile that you can give to them. That's all it would take for most people to go through with no issues.
In that fictional premise, Kroc was buying the legally clean & clear right to do with the brand and inside of the restaurants as he saw fit, without having to fight with the brothers over every detail. The movie portrayed that as a key sticking point to Kroc being able to push his vision for McDonald's forward. For example, the powder milkshake battle, or the ability to pursue raising the fees on the franchisees at his own determining.
well, the alternative (apparently) to switching is not working and only getting paid if you have paid vacation.
It takes a lot of practice. The beautifully-designed work that surrounds us was largely created by people who have spent years and years honing their craft. When you start off, there will be a gap between what you want to do and what you're able to do. It's important to just keep pushing through that, and especially to keep iterating. Iterate on your websites — take a moment every now and then to clean up some part of it, and after a few months or a year it'll be worlds better. Iterate on your process — find sources of inspiration, learn new techniques, try different ideas. I have seen people who were terribly unskilled, who felt like they were artless or inept or without taste or untalented, grow over the years to the point where they could make great work. It hurts a bit when you see people who are "naturally" good, but at best, that only means they had an easier go of things. It doesn't mean you can't eventually get that good too.
Every business that doesn't suffocate it's customers should display cancer warnings. Oxygen is carcinogenic.

What would happen if you refused to provide any details to US immigration at that point..?
There is no good reason to move away from Ruby on Rails, Django, Node, etc.

I'd argue that now that Typescript is gaining momentum - I'd say there's a good case for Javascript (Node.js) solidifying itself as the leader for anything but apps that are performance critical.
Yea, if you see the other comment I replied to, I tried to make it more clear that this case is obviously to the benefit of everyone. What you describe is a simple tragedy of the commons market failure, which need be regulated, and is not unique to radiowaves.

I think the point I was trying to make is missed. Should someone, the OP, criticizing the FCC's role for doing this be downvoted/ridiculed? No, I think it's an important job, because we should always question when rights are taken away from the people and handed over to government.

Maybe it's all too far gone and this is a better discussion to have for a Mars colony, but I still have faith.

Private pilot and military officer here (but not military pilot). On the military side, touchscreens suck horribly but are already being crammed into planes where soft buttons on the side of a display and controls on throttle and stick are already solutions that work fine. F-15s also have (depending on country) head tracking in the form of HMCS, so doing a gaze based interface is feasible and a better solution than touchscreens.

Honestly, page-based systems that can be accessed with a castle/boat switch is fine for modern fighters and trained pilots. Hearing a trained Eagle driver rattle off how to get to a specific menu/page from any other page is pretty impressive- "You need to change missile mode but you're on the ECS page? Back, down, down, right, right. [or something like that]" And they aren't even sitting in the plane or looking at the screens, it's just muscle memory.

Non-military specific, and the biggest con of touchscreens in a cockpit:
- Turbulence makes it hard to hit the right places on the touchscreen. Traditionally you'd rest your hand or stabilize a few fingers on the outside of your radio/navigator before twirling the dials or pushing buttons, and there was enough resistance to keep from accidental presses. With stuff like the GTN 650 pushing the screen out to the edges, resting your hand on the bezel means you accidentally make touches to the edge of the screen. Competitors like Avidyne actually market old school buttons as a feature, and it's a compelling one.

Military specific concerns:
- Wearing gloves while flying means that button size needs to be huge and touchscreens aren't very precise.
- High-G maneuvers make it really hard to touch the right part of the screen.
Compared to the current, non-MobilEye Teslas, the Leaf, the A6, the CT6. Even the old Model S has better autonomous driving than the current one.

Oh, and Google. By very, very far.

Tesla hasn't even caught up to its original Mobileye-powered Autopilot.
Except Russia is collapsing faster than anywhere else.
Mostly agreed but be careful.. There have been incidents of generics that don't have as much active ingredient in them -- or have other quality control problems.

The other factor is packaging and longevity. Generics e.g. tend to have bits of foil that are too easy to detach and swallow.

And shelf life -- a quality of packaging and ingredients issue -- is less certain.
I think they will be okay. It's crunch time for sure, but I think they will deliver on Model 3. I am getting mine within a few weeks, and buying TSLA.
Years later, I still haven't decided if Snow Crash is utopian or dystopian.
For a HN reader, it's odd to see this topic here, especially since I have some experience around it (not doing it.)

Fighting bulls is more of an art than a sport, and having seen women fight bulls in the Portuguese corrida, my impression was it is as different as male and female ballet dancers. Same art, but they bring something specific to it. While people say it's purely a masculine sport, one of the most famous rejoneadors (Conchita Cintron) from the 1950s onward was a woman. They are rare, but not novel.

I think the spanish style is less artful than the Portuguese, as shown in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMYzoKjiXbk Diego Ventura is a living master of the art. A number of women (rejoneadoras) like Lea Vincens and Noelia Mota are big names in the art.

There is more valor, if perhaps less art, in the work of the Forcados (https://youtu.be/pRzPPThS_M0?t=62) who catch the bull after the rider is finished with it.

It's an aesthetic appreciation of a very specific kind of beauty, so people who are against it are unlikely to be swayed.

I understand the bullfight is also a political wedge issue in spain and portugal, where progressives ban it and traditionalists promote it. It is an art with a lot wrapped up in it.

Odd hackernews topic, unless you folks in California are going to the local corridas. Hey, if you've had a huge exit and want to fight bulls, I can probably help. :)
Tesla has Apple-like brand value without the Apple-like manufacturing efficiency or profit margin. For Tesla's stock price to be worth the current value they need to at some point be making industry-high profit on every car sold - so far they're barely breaking even on the model 3s.

They've _always_ fought against the odds and always looked like a bad bet if you only looked at numbers. The thing is nobody knows how far that brand value - which maybe only 2 or 3 other companies have, can take you: it's the confounding factor when it comes to 'Tesla predictions'. Fans probably buy into the Musk brand while skeptics underestimate just how far brand can take a company.

Funding shouldn't be problem for Tesla for the next couple of years, and neither should selling cars that they've made. But the so called production ramp up has been postponed for a year now.

If they face two or three more 'unexpected hurdles' in manufacturing and have an autopilot scandal or two, they are in trouble once Merc/BMW/Lexus/Audi start coming up with electric cars by 2020ish. That's the real danger. If they can mass produce model 3s by 2020, they should be fine.
Given the accidents, you might as well drive a regular car and take your hands off the wheels and you'd roughly replicate the quality of their "autonomous diving".
If you really want to get excited for the developing world - research the number of new submarine fiber cables that have connected coastal cities in many major African nations in the time frame from 2004 to 2018.

That's a lot of capacity. Now a big part of the problem is outdated regulatory regimes and government-controlled telecoms that are keeping prices artificially high, and keeping out competition in the 4G/LTE market and ISP market.
On the plus side, I was able to sell an incredibly old ATI video card for $50 from a computer my friend was bringing to the dumpster.
Its much easier to keep up with good contributors in that area. Example, to keep up with great code releases, simply follow top open source contributors on github to get notified whenever they star a repo.
Consumerist capitalism is "realistic"? That's laughable. It's popular, but the cargo cult of capitalism has humanity blindly sprinting towards ecological collapse.

Socially-strong European nations are the most likely to survive the next 100 years of turmoil. Modern China is a house of cards held together by capitalism, Xi and his successors will grab for power but they can't hold it together by sheer force of will.
Firstly - keep in mind most advice about SEO becomes outdated fairly quickly if it's "cheap and effective".

Secondly, I've have very little to do with SEO in the last 7-8 years, so most of my advice should be viewed very much through the lens of my first point.

But, my advice for what it's worth - optimise for long term, which for me mostly means doing the most reliable technical thing that avoids the bulk of the SEO problems.

I'd go for geographical subdomains of a keyword relevant .com - or second choice geographical sub-paths.

That give you the greatest ability to easily automate new regions - and avoids manual search and selection of unique top level names each time, as well as ensuring you don't fall victim to entire odd-ball TLDs (line .online) sometime in the future becoming spam-havens and SEO "bad neighborhoods".

You'd need to talk to someone reliable and reasonable who's current on the SEP impact of subdomains vs paths, but I did _very_ nicely using city and state based subdomains (over 1600 of them at peak) back int he mid 2000's (which is likely to have put it in the "cheap and effective" category - so perhaps the ranking algorithms have punished it in the meantime...)
Ironically Autopilot 2 is better than Autopilot 3, so older Teslas would be one car.
Exactly, with industry-standard infrastructure and plenty of highly-qualified and experienced professionals up for grabs, it is puzzling how they are failing so hard.

My guess is a mentality of "everything is wrong, let's rebuild it from scratch internally and it will be better", ignoring decades of practice and experience.
It turns out that buildings don't know how to build cars. People do.
Earlier today I was reading an old AMA by PewDiePie on reddit. A recurring theme was asking him how he got so successful. He talked about how he was there at the right time, had a good niche, great fans, got lucky, etc. Someone replied to him, reminding him that he also uploaded videos three times a day for years.

I agree that instant gratification is a problem, but it doesn't strike me as bad that kids might think YouTube or social media or whatever is an easy way to make money, and then try their hand at it. I think they'll quickly find that success still takes effort and perseverance.
That's true - and I have actually had a nude photo of myself leaked when I was in high school. Oddly, I didn't care much then, either.

But in any case, the n-parent comment didn't mention the photo being totally nude, anyway.
Weight?

Antennae volume is mostly air, so could be portable.
I doubt it's for home. As many articles point out, it needs a phased array antennas attract the satellites. The current technology for those is far too expensive to recoup the cost for residential service.
>our idea of success is slowly narrowing to this kind of 21st century internet-mediated entrepreneurship.

Material success, power, fame - have been drivers of ambition throughout all of human civilization. The unprecedented success of capitalism over the last 2 centuries has been marked by countless individuals pushing forward towards those goals.

>Greed is repackaged as positivity and girl power

You have cynical spin on this, but I suppose traditional moral gender roles would be more fulfilling? Or maybe women should be encouraged to go into low profit social work? What is it you want?
