The cost of building wired infrastructure has an inverse relationship with population density. This might be more expensive than wired internet in dense cities. The metal of city buildings and the high density of transmitters might make the performance lower in cities than suburban/rural areas.

> There are already some serious questions about quality control at Tesla,

Quality control specifically for the Model 3 or quality control for the Model S? Clearly the Model 3 quality isn't good enough right now, but it seems quite likely that given time they should be able to bring it up to Model S levels. I don't know if that's good enough, but I think it might be. Will Tesla have time to reach that quality level? I think they probably will, but they may have to raise more money to pull it off. And they may have to raise that money at a less than favorable valuation. However, the idea that they won't be able to raise money at all seems unfounded to me, just like the implied notion that they can't fix the quality problems.

There's a big difference between "Tesla is struggling" (yes they are, and it's not even the first time) and "Tesla is going to fail".

I don't think it's absurd. The $100 purchase price is a tiny fraction of the all-in cost of the phone, and if you're touting its usefulness in lieu of a laptop, you're talking about using a large amount of data, which usually means an expensive voice+data plan ($600-800/yr). Otherwise, a laptop and using the internet at one's local library is a much better option if utility and saving money are the priorities. A prepaid flip phone is usually better for actually making calls.
Well, the hope is your plan would cover what is required to treat a given condition. I.e. if you have a simple broken bone, you get the cheap x-ray. If you have a complex fracture that requires fine resolution, they cover the brand new fancy x-ray. The problem right now is: Your doctor prescribes the fancy x-ray as a catch-all, for everything that requires an x-ray. The insurance company then gets billed for "x-ray", which the doctor said was necessary. There is no incentive pressure for you to choose the cheap one, because you're not paying. The doctor doesn't care because they're not paying. And the insurance company gets screwed - but they're a business, so what do they do? Raise rates for everyone, and pass it on down the line.

>just seemingly that the internals did, with fiber and the like.

We‘ve lived with the same codebase for four years and frankly, it was slowing us down. Not all original abstractions aged well because when React was written, we didn’t really have a lot of experience with React :-)

I don’t think it’s because the original code was bad (I’m not familiar with Mongo so I don't know if that’s what you were implying), but because it’s not very easy to come up with an architecture that is both efficient and targets multiple view output targets (e.g. React Native) from the first attempt. Especially considering support for Native was retrofitted into an existing design at some point. It was also pretty much impossible to foresee the kind of features we’d be working on in a few years before anybody used React.

Some fundamental assumptions in the old codebase were actively preventing us from implementing new features. For example, there was an assumption all over the codebase that a custom component always renders one root, but this prevented us from letting people return arrays from render. There were many small things like this, and at some point it was clear we needed to redesign the internals from scratch.

The Fiber rewrite was about unlocking our larger vision (we recently shared its details: https://reactjs.org/blog/2018/03/01/sneak-peek-beyond-react-...) but it was just as essential for smaller incremental improvements.

Long-requested features that shipped in React 16 like fragments (returning multiple components from render), error boundaries (gracefully recovering from runtime errors), portals (declaratively rendering the child React tree to a different DOM subtree), and an official context API (finally shipped today) would not be possible without rewriting the internals to an architecture that incorporates our learnings about how React should work that we’ve accumulated over the years.

I’d also argue those features (and then ones we’re working towards—please do watch my demo at the previous link!) are a bit more ambitious than “interacting with the DOM”.

> am just dumbfounded when people bill react as simple but have never heard of something like Mithril that actually is simple

I agree React is not simple internally, but that was never the goal. The goal is to make it simple to build products with React, and so far I believe its success speaks to product developers finding it helpful.

I don’t push for React being used everywhere (and I heard people who used Mithril are happy with it) but I hope this gives some insight into our decision and development process.

We didn’t rewrite React because we wanted to clean a few things up, or because we didn’t know what we were doing. We’re pursuing very specific goals, and a new architecture is essential to enabling them. And there were no multiple rewrites; just one: https://code.facebook.com/posts/1716776591680069/react-16-a-....

Well, you are overlooking the language itself: how nice is it to code in, does it help you iterate more quickly, and how much does the awesome type system help you prevent errors, refactor code more easily, and promote stability over time?

These answers will vary wildly from person to person, but for a lot of people the answers to those questions will definitely provide a "good reason to move away from Ruby on Rails, Django, Node, etc."

I agree with you that the advent TypeScript is strengthening JavaScript's position immensely. TypeScript is really awesome. But it is still a type system bolted onto JavaScript, and it being a strict superset of JavaScript — even though that was a great design decision on balance — means it just can't do as much for the programmer as Swift can in that regard.
I guess it's a philosophical issue, but I would consider my physical image to be a part of my identity. In a way it's a reflection of a person's actions.
Americans may be shocked to discover that given the downward trajectory of the US at the moment, for many international travellers this is yet one more reason to choose somewhere else over the US. It's hardly extreme to avoid a country that keeps providing reason after reason to avoid it.

You aren't trolling, but it is trivial to come up with larger numbers that are, in a sense, just as practical. Memory suggests that if the universe has a finite size then there is a finite amount of information that can be stored in it. "The states of data that could be stored in the observable universe interpreted as a hard dive" is a much, much larger quantity than size of the universe in Plank Lengths.

However, what if we want to theorise about what, if anything, sits outside the observable universe? You seem to be suggesting that it will always be finite, which is optimistic to say the least. Just because we can't observe something doesn't mean that it isn't real, and that we won't get utility out of modeling it. Infinity might be out there.
> the so called production ramp up has been postponed for a year now

In what sense?

Elon originally said they were going to try to start production in July 2017. He also said they’d probably miss that date due to supply chain failures, but that he needed to set a date so suppliers could set plans.

To say they delayed the ramp by a year, that would mean they were delivering the first units in Summer 2018. They’re obviously ahead of that so it would seem to me the delay is much less than a year.

It's a space that has a future, sure. But the thing that kills more companies than anything else is failure to execute effectively.

Tesla is failing at manufacturing. They have been for a while but they got away with it because their innovation was perceived as far enough ahead. With Nissan, GM, Jaguar, BMW, Porsche, etc. now in the EV space and Uber, GM, Waymo, etc. in the SDC space they have meaningful competition.

They have survived on innovative products for a while...they are trying to continue that with the Semi and with the power wall, time will tell if they can actually build them - which is a precursor to just about everything else.

I don't know about Tesla, so many people are saying how it's going to fall apart, but I'm fairly optimistic. But, maybe that's because I'm both a Tesla owner and stock holder?

I feel like Tesla is spending money like it's going out of style, because it's building a new industry. They have a great network of charging stations and are expanding it extensively. A year ago when I got a Model S I drove it 2K miles each way to the family's place (CO to NC). And honestly it went fairly smoothly. Since then the charging network has expanded dramatically.

When I first got the Model S, my fiance thought about taking a road trip from CO to Nebraska, but because I got the cheap model, I could make it to Nebraska because it was downhill, but I couldn't make it back uphill. But, they've dramatically enhanced the I-80 superchargers.

Ok, so if you are building a new infrastructure, how much money spend is too much? How do you know if spending money like it's going out of style isn't going to end up in returns later? Tesla is building out a great infrastructure for charging, nationwide. One of Tesla's products, and one of it's determiners for success, is the charging network. When I got my car, Dec 2016, we started on a trip cross country with the kids, and I was like "I only give us a 50% chance of success". Between not knowing how charging was going to work, and not knowing if the kids were going to get into a fight because of being cramped in the back. I expected we wouldn't event make it out of Colorado before something turned us back. But, we made it there and back fairly smoothly. Had to learn some things about electric cars, but it worked great.

I'm really a car guy, and I love the sound of a V8. But, the Tesla is amazing. Could I have gotten something better from Audi for $75K (about my spend after incentives)? Probably. Do they have better self driving? Probably. But, with the maintenance on my A8 that the Tesla replaced, it's cheaper to run the Tesla than it was my Audi. Which, honestly, isn't a high bar to reach. My 2008 Audi A8 was a better car in many ways, as far as toys. But, the Tesla I've put over 20K miles on, with $0 for maintenance.

I think Tesla is building the infrastructure of the future, and they are spending money now to make something of huge value in the future.

How much is too much to build the future?

> Walmart already revolutionized pharma once by offering a huge list of drugs for $4/30-day and $10/-90 day

I was shocked to find that some of my prescriptions that were costing me $20 out of pocket with insurance at Rite Aid where $4 cash price at Walmart. I've moved everything I can to cash at Walmart, even in some cases where the Walmart cash price is a little higher than my with-insurance price elsewhere, just on the general principle that I don't want my insurance company to know what drugs I take [1].

[1] This stems from a time once when a condition I had improved to the point that I could stop taking drugs for it. A few months later it returned, and I asked my doctor to renew my prescription. He did so...and the insurance company rejected it. They were treating it like I was a brand new patient, and they no longer allowed that drug unless you had first tried a couple other newer drugs and they were not acceptable. I'd never had those drugs, but I'd had others in their families and they were either not very effective or had annoying side effects. I was willing to try the new drugs eventually, if this relapse turned out to not be temporary, but in the short term I wanted what we already knew worked well.

I'm from a third world country(Sri Lanka) and we already have really cheap LTE access, the connection I'm using right now(on my phone) gives me something like 1GB/1.5USD at average 4MBPS. What sucks is the speed and reliability, speed always fluctuate and even though most of the island is now covered by 3G, LTE is not a given. It has been improving a lot though because we have relatively good competition between mobile ISPs(something like 10 providers all island) and more than a quarter of the population has smartphones and demanding bandwidth.
There are more cars on the road, cheaper gas prices means more miles driven per car, and we have fewer total accidents but the accidents we have are more expensive due to more expensive parts (i.e. bumpers these days are thousands of dollars due to sensors and cameras vs a few years ago). All combine to create ~10% rate increase year over year.

Unfortunately, the judge can't consider that. He didn't rule on whether or not the law is a stupid waste of time and money, he ruled that the existing [stupid] law, as written, applies.

Someone else should get a ballot measure to improve or repeal the law. I think the idea behind the law is good, but the short-sighted implementation makes it useless.
There are a lot mismatches.

For example, I reported a bug about CFRunLoopMode, where the original C-based CF used a comparison of pointer address to determine the equality of two run mode names. The original C version actually compared using the identity rather than equality as the commonModes was defined as a static CFStringRef (CONST_STRING_DECL(kCFRunLoopCommonModes, "kCFRunLoopCommonModes")). Of course this is an optimization for speed on Mac but this is, unfortunately, not supported in Swift and its replication of CF, because in Swift it has to be a public static String. As for today you cannot use commonModes in Linux.
