If they almost got to that rate of 5k it's just as good. There's nothing magical about that number. Musk sets high goals and usually gets close, but it takes longer than he said it would. Reusable rockets, impossible, took years - but now we have them.

I can't understand the people that think he's a charlatan. They have sold approaching 200k electric vehicles. They are great cars, I have one. But separate from that, they always had a plan to increase production and sell more of cheaper cars, ramping up from first selling expensive ones. The latest ones are going to need a lot more volume before they can make them cheap enough to sell at 35k, such as higher battery production. They will lose money until they make them at high volume. It's not crazy to say they'll have a lot more money coming in as they raise production, that's like any business. The open question is will they actually make a profit. We can't know what the numbers are until they come out. Based on history, I think they'll get close to profitable but won't quite make it, but they'll clearly be headed in that direction as the early hurdles of increasing production are met. Again - it won't matter exactly when they are profitable if they are close. Just like the 5k/week number.
I had a Machine Learning class last semester and one thing that I found really useful which isn't really done in any of my other classes was that the lectures were recorded and uploaded to YouTube. This allowed me to look at the given slides and essentially "relive" the entire lecture at my own pace, since there were parts that I'd understood quite well the first time I heard it, but other complex parts needed a few pausing and rewind to better understand what was being taught.

The article that rayiner posted was in reference to overzealous policing of arbitrary culture based moral offenses (not being islamic). Are many of the laws in the US not overzealous and arbitrarily moral based as well? For instance non violent drug crimes being punished with harsher sentences than violent crimes?
I think these exist, they've just become more specialized. Think of these sites you might have seen before:

- alternativeto.net and similar
- Google Scholar / Semantic Scholar
- Every sandboxed social network (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr)
- A variety of Instagram searching sites
- Alternative App stores for Android

And there's room for plenty more sites like this.

Attempting to return a good response for anything in the search box is a bottomless problem of unclear utility. Being more focused makes the work easier and the value for the user clearer.
Amazon should buy Tesla. That would blow minds.
> It's quite unlikely that an EV cert would be issued for washingtonpostnews.com

I think the https://stripe.ian.sh story argues otherwise - it would be pretty easy to start an LLC named "Washington Post News" in some other state and have the government agencies be fine with that. (In fact, for the specific case of Washington Posts, half of all US states have a city/town named "Washington.")

Also the more practical problem with the Washington Post is the existence of the Washington Times, established in 1982 by Sun Myung Moon well before the web or SSL.
What about Managed solutions, like DynamoDB? What could be easier than that - with cloud scale analytics opportunities to boot.
Of course it does, don't be ridiculous. The difference between a faceless, directionless algorithm miscategorising videos and performing actions without direct oversight from a human being, and an underhanded (and, frankly, nonsensical) plot to rid the site of one particular set of videos out of the literally billions and billions of free videos that already exist on the site is palpably obvious.
The batteries are what connect them. No one else will be making batteries at that rate, at least for a pretty long time. Tesla has the cheaper batteries and related tech to use them in solar power along with cars.
Starting at the beginning of your equation, is what constitutes a "crime" not defined by the legal system to begin with? Perhaps the US has run wild with their definitions and militaristic enforcement of crimes
I think Tesla is not the leader, they probably made a crucial mistake in not using the expensive lidar. But they have be far the most cars on the road with early versions of this tech that has worked pretty well in my car for 4 years.
You can't pay federal taxes in non-sovereign and they'll never give it up.

Tesla is building SUV EVs. Other makers are planning to.

you guys don't realize that regulations are essentially the fall of every civilization. The restriction on voluntary free trade and property eventually ends civilizations
There's a 0 percent chance he's a snake oil salesman. There a reasonable chance his company won't succeed because of a problem making the cars cheap enough. But still they are awesome cars. Pretty soon they will be the only company in the US that has sold enough EVs that the tax credit runs out. That will really piss off the tesla haters who will have one less reason to claim it's all a gyp or whatever.
9 reasons Trump might put Peter Thiel on the Supreme Court but probably won’t
This "digital decentralized ledger" you are talking about is ever-growing. To be able to handle its size and keep its integrity, special entities have to keep it running for the layman to use. Nobody can carry terabytes of "blockchain" around all the time.

These special entities need to record all transactions and verify them against this ledger. As a result you are now even more dependent on these entities than ever before. You basically just re-invented banking, only in a bad, uncontrollable way that is prone to takeovers (51% attack) by anonymous actors.

There's absolutely zero evidence for the headline in the actual bulk of the article.

SWIFT launched a new service last year, that is now handling 25% of all cross-border transactions, to the tune of 100 billion USD per day.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin peaked last year at a total trading volume of 5 billion USD per day, and is now doing less than 1 billion per day. How much of that is cross-border is unknown, but even assuming 100%, it's still a tiny fraction of what SWIFT is handling.

Extrapolating from that that cryptocurrencies somehow drove SWIFT to launch their new service is a bit of a stretch to put it mildly.

Arabic often writes dates and phone numbers from left to right. I can't speak for other RTL langauges but I can't see DMY being a problem for most people around the world. Ultimately, non-English speakers have to learn English to write code and if they want standardised dates across their systems they should use the standard of the language they're writing in.
Not really. If a country switches to pure digital money to it wil peg the value to its paper money and allow citizens to trade paper money for digital currency

Okay so... To make MongoDB not suck for analytics, ETL it in a different format. For engineers trained in backed systems, this is pretty obvious. After reading this, I also don't know why I'd choose Pequot things over any other thing.

Baby's first ETL -- just scan the db with a cursor and analyze the data in a script -- tends to cover 90% of the use cases for BI db analytics with almost zero resource consumption anyway. Point being don't write a query to do analytics if your db can't answer your questions performantly, and don't build [latent, stale, slow] Enterprise ETL unless you really need it.
It's not much of a story that the company that people think will go out of business and promised to make 5k cars a week only made 4800 or something, and is raising production goals to 6k for the next month. This might matter if say a bank was going to end their credit line if they didn't make that number. That's not the situation.
I'm afraid to ask, but . . . which civilizations do you think have fallen primarily because of government regulation of private enterprise?
It's pretty clear by now that many people, in fact, do not like being tracked and profiled. Most people, I suspect, could just not imagine what Google, Facebook and the programmatic ad industry overall have managed. But now, many are catching on. And they're pissed.

You can connect Hadoop/Spark directly to MongoDB so in some cases you may not need to do an ETL at all.

You can also use something like NiFi which supports MongoDB and will allow you to shift data out to Avro/Parquet on HDFS/S3 for your data scientists to use.

As for BI stack. Not sure what you mean. There are hundreds of tools which blend data management and data analysis. You can do this with Hortonworks (Atlas + Spark) or Alteryx for example.
If I remember correctly, there is some legal principle in the United States that no law can require anyone to do something that is impossible for them to do.
Seems sad so much technical effort to be exerted towards something so venal, trivial, and fleeting.
I'm sorry but I think your facts are not true. Only people with an agenda to support the oil companies or something come out with claims that evs are terrible polluters. First, regular ice cars have pollution in their manufacture, and the production of gasoline has a lot of inefficiences, it must be transported physically. ICE engines are vastly less efficient in use of energy. Coal is a decreasing amount of power generation. It's just a silly argument that evs are terrible polluters. Of course there is some pollution in their creation, like any object on earth.
For all we know expansion is their plan to eliminate the competition.
Honestly at this point if you are not storing dates in UTC form and transforming it in order to get to the Japanese calendar format, you are doing things wrong. The emperor is not eternal (yeah, I know, blasphemy) and the end of the era is totally expected.

I think that's his point. If the city is a disaster, with a shrinking population, and lax zoning laws -- why are prices continuing to rise?
that particular poster seems to be an anti-tesla troll. Certainly there is reason to wonder if Tesla can do what they are trying to do, they've had trouble so far. But it's not an impossible task, there are lots of companies in the world doing mass production of cars, tractors, etc, it's not some impossible task.
Such a thing would likely be used on specific targeted individuals, not the general public, making detection far more difficult.

IIUC you only need to semantically "delete" it, ie. record the fact that it is deleted, and then not use it.

Consider an analogy to a filesystem. If I delete a file, the bits aren't actually gone and are recoverable (at least for a while). But no-one (as far as I know) is saying we need to scrub or smash hard drives to pieces on customer request. We simply tell our storage system not to present this information to us anymore.

Similarly, in any immutable log based system (like many databases), you wouldn't delete a record by actually removing the information - instead you write a tombstone that says "this information was deleted", and then queries will not return it.

If you're using the blockchain to store information, then you simply need to teach your system that retrieves that information to recognise some kind of tombstone, and you need to honor that tombstone. It's besides the point whether anyone else continues to use the information, similarly to if you'd published it on your website then someone had copied it - even if you delete it, other people are under no obligation to also delete it.

Is this really surprising? Large amounts of capital give sizable returns. Even with a 2.5% return (inflation) on $1M, you'll earn $12/hr at a 40 hour workweek.

Next up in not surprising news, people with $500k stock portfolios likely earn more in appreciation & dividends than the median US worker.
Actually the customers benefit from the subsidy. No other car company has sold enough evs in the us to get to this point. After they finish q4 2018 and the subsidy if greatly reduced, there will be one less reason to hate tesla. How many volts and bolts has gm sold? I haven't ever even seen a bolt on the road. Apparently gm doesn't make many of them on purpose, too expensive for the batteries - tesla's super advantage!
And this is a case with production that doubled in a quarter. So, again, how big is 3%?
Good dough is easy:

* Use bread flour

* Let it sit refrigerated for a few days before use. 1-2 weeks is pretty ideal.

Compared to a fresh dough, you'll get that nice crispy crust and chewy, flavorful interior.
the probability of this affecting you if you're not a criminal is probably lower to that of you dying everytime you take your car to go anywhere. It's a really big sacrifice in expected utility.

> We are switching, from paper, declared by fiat to be "money" to a digital decentralized ledger

...that is also declared "money" by fiat, exactly the same as paper money. It has value because we say it has value. That's not the interesting property.

The interesting property of cryptocurrencies is that the supply of money is constricted and can't be manipulated by any nation's central bank.

There's probably some truth to this. But if statisticians weren't able to convince the academic world that arbitrarily setting a "statistical significance" threshold is a gross misuse of statistics, then what good are they? It would be like MDs failing to convince the rest of the medical community that bloodletting isn't a universal cure for whatever the hell ails you.

It might be surprising given how hot the market is, but the # of homes actually changing hands is pretty small. Prop 13 provides a strong financial incentive for homeowners not to sell. With relativey few homes going on the market compared to the area’s population, the salaries of an unusually small slice of the income distribution can affect the average home price.

Would it be expected for the median worker to be able to afford a median priced home? Most people buy homes these days with 2 incomes and therefore homes are priced (square footage, amenities, land value) for such income levels.
Speculation is a substantial part of it. Especially as some places are in economies at the end of a very long expansion cycle.
Wait, an employee-employer relationship isn't transactional? I agree with you that bragging is a bad look but I also agree with an above commenter who says that the point of using OI is that you're trying to find $X to avoid outlier mistakes.

But I think it's naive to expect that salary negotiation isn't adversarial. Both sides are trying to get an optimal deal. Employees making data-driven acceptance decisions is better than "employees figuring it out" later.

Good recommendation! Big fan of his work...
Same-origin policy does not help you on first visit, and trust on first visit is really the hard problem that PKI was invented to solve.

If you can count on a prior relationship in encryption, then you don't even really need PKI. Just mutually decide on an encryption key and then use that to encrypt/decrypt your traffic.

Not every website is Twitter or Facebook or Google or a major bank, where the vast majority of visits are repeat visitors. I run dozens of websites, and every single one has more than 50% new visitors, year in and year out. That is representative of the vast majority of websites out there.

Browser makers have dramatically shifted their security focus toward repeat visitors. Two-factor authentication, same-origin policy, HSTS, and other new security features are only useful for repeat visitors.

EV certificate notices (the "green banner" in the address bar) are one of the very few browser features that attempt to help first-time site visitors. Now, obviously EV certs have problems as you cite with Stripe... but instead of trying to solve this problem, browser makers are simply copping out and falling back on a posture that HTTPS just means encrypted over the wire, not identity. Essentially: establishing security is the user's problem. Once it's established, then we've got all sorts of tools to maintain it.

This is a mistake. It does not help most websites, and it privileges incumbent services (which have lots of repeat visitors) over new websites (who are trying to win new customers).

CAs and browser makers must continue to attack the problem of trust on first visit. It's not an easy problem but it is the essence of the promise of the web. Visitors should be able to load a new site and know if it is trustworthy, just like people trust that they can physically walk into a new store and not get robbed.
I thought this was a really good example of using images and examples to make the point. I have seen a few other papers like it, but this is one of the best done. I hope more people do this in the future.

But I will say that many moons ago when I did actually write stuff for Mongo. The oplog was a god send. You can "tail" the oplog, and get every transaction in near real time. We used this for updating Elasticsearch indexes etc in what is basically realtime, without having to poll or modify existing code at all.
And corporates also regularly have to buy SaaS moonshine in order to get work done, and then hire consultants to implement it, and deal with other consultants when something goes off.

So, Excel is the scratch pad of that world. And it’s good enough for a lot of the initial scratch work, and at even more complex levels it has the ability to provide results.

It’s tremendously good for most people, since most people will never be coders.

I suspect any intelligent civilization will end up with an excel like program eventually. There’s too much random crap that excel ends up helping many different kinds of people with.
