> Well, I don't know what "hype" says

How about go and look at the original announcements/teasers, since you appear to be more a fan of the car press than I am?

How about something from their current web page?

"Designed to attain the highest safety ratings in every category, Model 3 achieves 220 miles of range while starting at only $35,000 before incentives."

I see a phrase at least implying mass-market appeal ("every category") and prominently stating the still-fictional $35k price.

> but it's fairly obvious by size and price that the Model 3 is in the small luxury sedan category

Maybe, but that's a narrow definition, and says nothing about Tesla's positioning of their product, only your opinion of its category.

> here's an Elon tweet: "Sorta

A tweet from Elon, especially one that, literally, begins with the word "sorta" and goes on to use the word "like", isn't exactly compelling evidence for "precisely positioned".

> You could also check with the car press

I just looked at those three articles, and I also saw nothing there about Tesla's positioning of this product.

> By comparison to the Model S it's affordable and mass market

Although affordable in comparison does, tenuously, make sense to me, the second bit does not. Something is either mass market or it isn't. If it's not broadly affordable to the masses, it isn't marketable to them.

>the entire economy is designed to do this

Unless you are a firm believer in the power of the Illuminati, we have as close to the opposite of a planned (and thus designed) economy as one can get in the present day.

Just because a behavior or other feature in a complex system is emergent doesn't mean the system was initially designed that way.
Same thoughts here. I actually designed my own template for ATOM feeds for my Hugo generated blog. My blog serves both RSS and ATOM for the home page sections and even various taxonomies. So people interested in Emacs can subscribe to a feed of Emacs related posts only.
The negativity in this thread is justified, and the headline is correct to highlight the darkly absurd desperation of the average citizen's situation. To attempt to look on the bright side here would be analogous to a commenter on a news article in 1918 saying "well, 50,000 people will die of Spanish flu this month, but let's look on the bright side: 75,000 people died last month!"

Furthermore, even the statistic that 40% of people can't cover a $400 expense is lowballing the severity of the situation, because who says that $400 is anywhere near the average financial cost of an unexpected emergency? What percentage of Americans can't cover a $500 expense (we know it's more than 40%)? What about a $1,000 emergency expense (which in my estimation is closer to the median deductible for a health insurance policy (assuming that one has health insurance in the first place))?
All you're going to do with that is to piss off the upper middle class, not the people who actually got fat on the backs of the poor and who are so far ahead of the situation that you're never getting that money back. It's gone. The only equalizer left is massive inflation, which may happen for other reasons.

We might very well be reaching the end of a constant feature update era.

In a sense, we really have to go back and rewrite 30 years of software to make it secure. This could take 15, maybe 30 years. Due to security concerns, in the future we might see “new functions / features” treated as a backwater concern, much like security is today.

Good news is it means tons of US jobs. It makes no sense to outsource or even “onshore” in such cases.

Where luxuries and necessities are defined as

> For its part, the Deutsche Bank report explicitly defined luxuries as goods or services consumed in greater proportions as a person’s income increases and necessities as those goods or services that make up a smaller proportion of spending as a person’s income increases.

In other words, the whole study is complete nonsense because those definitions are ridiculous and completely detached from any sensible definition of those words.

Which is not really true, time is frame depended, not location depended. Just take the twin paradox, when they start and later meet again, they are in the same place but different amounts of time have passed for each of them. The closest thing I can think of is that the ordering of two events is not ambiguous if they are timelike separated while for spacelike separated events you can find different reference frames which disagree on the order of the events.
Hasn't had a release since 2013, but the Github code is still getting updates as recently as the last few weeks. It appears to be written in a mix of itself and D. Wasn't clear to me how you would go about bootstrapping it.
My advice for design: Design is hard. Good design is so hard that you will almost never see it in the wild. It becomes even harder when you work with other people. Your carefully crafted ideas will be crushed under the foot of the next confident programmer who thinks they have found the holy grail of design. As more and more programmers are added, they pour in their particular favourite flavour of programming sauce. The result is swamp water.

Good design is not about the code. Good design is about the people who are going to work with that code. Understand your audience. Get to know what they like and what they don't like. Write your code in a way that will delight your audience. Give them what they expect to see.

Of course, this is exceptionally shallow advice because no programmer can actually be so selfless. If you write code that pleases your audience you will usually have to do so at the expense of yourself. It is not possible to write good code that you dislike -- at least not long term.

So the trick to good design is always putting a bit of yourself in the code and always putting a bit of your colleagues in the code. It's striking that balance where you are satisfied, but also where they are satisfied. This requires working in small increments, and sharing what you are doing. It requires watching what your colleagues are doing and looking for opportunities to borrow. It requires questioning, evaluating, praising, explaining and coaching.

And if you are working by yourself: do whatever the hell you want. Why are you so worried about what other people think? If you are trying to improve what you are doing, don't do so by reading about the opinions of others. Read code, not blog posts. Write code, not design diagrams. Work slowly, try out ideas you've seen in other code and evaluate their success. When you get the chance, work with others to broaden your horizons.
Thanks for the link! I always enjoy reading about this.

Interestingly, the study simultaneously staters that the players couldn't identify the older violins but also generally rated them lower. I'm wondering, was there something different about these violins that they didn't like (indicating an identifiable, if unfavorable, difference), or did they feel the old violins just sorta came up short in a non-descript way?

Playing style and tastes have changed over the years, so that could be a factor.
Actually, you are OK to do most of these things in many parts of US.

> Unless someone is starving, spending more on food as income rises is discretionary

It's also not discretionary if at lower income levels they receive a greater share of direct food aid that isn't counted in their spending because they never exchange money or a money-denominated voucher for it.

> As someone who ate well on minimum wage, you’re not going to convince me low-income families can’t afford food in America if they’re properly budgeting.

Many of the poor:

(1) Aren't able to find work (and may not be able to work; permanent disability is a thing, and positively correlated with poverty),

(2) May not work find full time work when they work, and

(3) May be supporting non-working (and unable for age or other reasons to work) dependents on their part-time, intermittent, minimum wage income.
> To really answer this you should read "The Selfish Gene."

I did. Well the first several chapters at least. I did not find a convincing answer to the question I am raising here.

> The phenotype of a gene is not necessarily constrained by any physical boundaries.

Sure it's not necessarily constrained. But in practice there is very high correlation between family relatedness and physical proximity / social group.

If the main rebuttal against group selection is "families can be spread out", I don't think that warrants the level of criticism that is leveled at it. An organism surrounded by genetically unrelated peers is the exception, not the rule.

EDIT: Reading a bit more, I think I may be understanding this distinction better. "Kin selection" and "group selection" are more different than the names suggest. "Kin selection" means that natural selection incentivizes an individual to be altrustic towards their own kin. "Group selection" means that natural selection will favor the survival of an entire group over another group based on the comparative genetic strengths of the two groups.
That's a great response. If the investor is someone you do want to get to know, it doesn't hurt to set some time 3-6 months into the future for a short chat.
Yes but a) they weren't originally that accurate, and b) have only just been validated against independent data (satellite measurements of sea levels).

My point, perhaps snarkily made, was that we are only now getting the hang of this, after decades of work.

Unless I'm missing something, we're not going to be approaching anything like 10% error bars for planets for which we have far less data.
I am a firm believer in corporate consolidation, so yes, those smoke filled rooms do exist. However, you can consider this a systemic critique of capitalism which systemically concentrates wealth. The intention doesn't matter if the system is set up to create a particular result.

I'm a complete layman, but how does that play out in planets with gravity force significantly stronger or weaker than Earth? Woul that skew which elements make the best building blocks?
Some of those results refer to HyperTerminal, the Electron-based terminal app. Other results refer to Hyperapp-like libraries (not Hyperapp). The most recent submission related to Hyperapp was 8 months ago and Hyperapp has come a long way since then.

Here is another angle to this: go into React type of submissions and ask them to stop spamming HN with that?

My dad could juggle reasonably well, I'm fairly certain up to 6 balls. As a kid this was amazing, and it killed me that I couldn't do it at all. I was generally bad at physical things, but I tried this a lot, and never got anywhere.

Then, in my mid-twenties, my mother-in-law gave me a juggling book, apropos of nothing. I followed the instructions, and within a couple of days, could reasonably keep 3 balls in the air. I've never gotten any better than that, but by resetting my expectations and following instructions set out for me, I was able to cross that threshold so now my kids think I'm amazing. :)
As a millennial who's started their own business and been very active in moving my work life forward, I'd say a lot of millennials just have no clue how the real world works in regards to hard work + lots of failure => maybe success.

Many believe they are owed absurd luxuries from society and believe that all people who are financially independent / business owners are privileged evil people who took advantage of others. Complaining seems to be more mainstream than taking legitimate action to improve ones life / society in general.

I'm very much a fan of the rhetoric behind "Being a millennial is great because it's so easy to be better than the entirety of the millennial generation".
This would be great...but it seems more likely that what happens if a forcing function is applied is that anything in the current gray area (gray area is putting it nicely) of using the DoD Root CA will likely just become not publicly accessible whether it makes sense or not to do that for the resource (e.g. webmail)

Again, this would be awesome but as a DoD civilian employee...I don't see it happening in a good way

While you can automate the bulk production of instruments, you cannot make anything truly great. A core principal of making a violin is graduation of the plates with utmost care and consideration of the woods being used. For example: If I take 10year old sub 5k ft altitude american spruce and 100yr old +5k Alpine spruce and have a machine carve them out I will get dramatically different tonal results. And that's before I change all of it by varnishing. Automation may be good for sheer volume, but in this case it will never be good for uniform "higher quality".
> it makes sense to start searching at the most likely place for the most likely thing, no?

It may be the most likely to be easily recognized but not necessarily the most prevalent. You have two variables to balance: (a) likelihood that the planet you're looking at contains life and (b) likelihood that you'll know it when you see it.

If you can increase (a) significantly then it may not matter if (b) is very low or not
I think this was a joke. I laughed.
"Rather, it seems conservatives get upset at the idea of an unlevel playing field, i.e. creating policies that favor one group over another."

I posit that this is not true in the least; they just get upset at the idea of a policy that isn't targeted at giving them the upper hand. Otherwise, they're perfectly fine with policies that favor one group (them) over another.

> If a Nobel prize winning Astrophysicist says "there are exoplanets where you can make a perpetual motion machine" you would not let him get away with that?

You're demonstrating exactly why general knowledge isn't enough to analyze specialized concepts! Your rhetorical question may seem to the layman to be a witty retort but it just demonstrates ignorance of the topic at hand.

In the case of your perpetual motion machine example, anyone with even slightly specialized knowledge of (astro)physics would know that there are no fundamental phenomena like the conservation of energy that prevent life on an eyeball planet, unlike with a perpetual motion machine. This is the rhetorical equivalent of comparing a Mount Everest expedition to intergalactic teleportation.

> The guy further up was just saying that there are general things about modelling (a very broad topic that reaches across all of science) that don't add up.

No, he was just saying that there are general things about how modelling is used. He didn't say a single concrete thing about the article itself and proceeded to demonstrate vast ignorance wrt this specific subfield of scientific modelling.
What makes $400 such a special number? Why not $100, Why not $500, Why not $1,000?

What makes $400 the ideal number? Probably nothing, except the fact that it makes for the best headline, since "2 out of 5" is a quotable statistic.

Formulating advice should follow a different pattern. The ideal number for emergencies is probably closer to $5,000 since it covers more realistic emergency scenarios.

$500 might cover food, gas, a few taxi rides or train tickets and basic OTC medication like asprin for possibly a week.

$5,000 might cover a lost or stolen laptop, plane tickets, hotel stays, car repairs, emergency rooms and ambulances and out-of-pocket prescriptions, funerals, rent or convert to a month's worth of basic needs (food, gas, short-haul travel).

More is obviously always better, but emergency response is about covering the cost of capacity to react, plus supplies needed to take action, plus duration of endurance. $500 wouldn't keep you off the street for more than a weekend, but $5,000 could last a month or more.
Taxes are a distortion, but also one way to deal with the tragedy of the commons (in this case, previously remote locales that cannot absorb the influx off tourists).

Ask HN: How do you deal with “Hey you know tech, fix my xyz”
I think so.

This is exactly how my own long-term projects that actually have users have panned out. When everything is left to your own energy and charity yet it doesn't pay the bills, when there's work to be done then the project is lucky to get whatever you can spare.

And it typically needs work in spite of what's going on in your personal life. I was at the beach when my hand-coded forum went down (btw, don't build your own forum). I ended up patching it live on the server, guessed at the problem, and had to clean up my mess weeks later.

If you don't actually have users, then sure, that's something entirely different. I have plenty of projects that never left localhost with no technical debt, too. That's trivial.

We can’t improve the money situation without improving the “free time” situation too. For people with 2+ jobs and hours of commuting, when is there time to do anything that would remotely fix their financial situation? Exhaustion for starters. No time for more school or other improvements that might net a better job. No time to even research where a better place to live might be. Heck, even voting for someone to help change your situation takes a lot of time, if you want to figure out which candidate is truly in line with what you want.
