It depends on the place/country, regarding the payment.

Regarding the delivery, there's two aspects: the first one is that delivery can take even more, even for regular cars. The second one is that I wouldn't be too confident as a Tesla customer, that I'll get the car in 2 to 4 months. 6+ months seems more realistic, based on their track record.

All-in-all, if you really like the car, it doesn't seem a blocker.
Many of the things here, as of writing, are quite elementary Vim tips. A lesser known trick that I learnt quite recently and have found very useful is `gn`, which visually selects the next search hit (similarly `gN` for the previous hit). That's not so useful in itself, but it can be combined with an operation, such as `c` or `y`, etc., which can then be repeated using the `.`.
Just like with weapons of a more physical nature, the problem is that they exist. The fact that they exist means that over time they/it will fall into the wrong hands. The obvious and natural solution to this is to not have them exist, or in this case to not have this database exist.

Yes, I understand companies are allowed to do it. That's beside the point - just because they are allowed to right now doesn't make it right.

You seem to believe you can ward off information collection efforts by controlling yourself what you do and do not communicate to the rest of the world.

While I sincerely admire the quixotic effort, I suspect you are fighting a losing battle.

There are countless situations in daily life where you have no choice but to leak some tiny bit of information about yourself to an external database, and from there on, it's just a matter of cobbling the bits back together.

> If the statistical significance of your results is algorithm-dependent, shouldn't they be regarded as suspect?

It's a fair question.

Here's a possible recipe to get such variations in estimates: (1) an estimator that does not really match the distribution of the dependent variable; (2) small sample sizes with insufficiently well-handled influential observations; (3) (robust) standard error corrections leading to disproportionate confidence intervals; and (4) limited work on diagnostics, which is another way to make all of the previous points.

The points above can be used to 'take down' many papers published in journals like the one in which the incident happened, but you can also take a more charitable view and rescue most of those papers by claiming, for instance, that statistical significance should not govern (and even less govern alone) over the identification of the data generation process.

My conclusion is therefore: yes, algorithmic variation makes those results suspect, but on a single dimension that should probably not stand as the most important one in assessing those results in the first place.

That's actually something I've changed my mind about.

Been a long time Linux user myself and kinda hated on Windows.

About a year ago I got a Macbook Air and while I appreciate the UI, that one really got in the way of working.

There's no apparent way of going up one folder in Finder and by default you don't even see full paths. Closing windows doesn't really quit the app, maximizing windows does a weird kind of maximizing, you need to install an app to get window snapping...
Terminal is nice though!

Decided to give Windows a try again recently and with the WSL I don't see too much to complain about. System settings are confusing and weirdly hidden in different apps, updates are unnerving etc. yes but in terms of daily use no obstacles.

Have to use Windows at work as well and aside from updates nothing work-hindering.
As a former car salesperson, I can tell you that, in the state of Virginia, car sales contracts are not valid until the customer has physically taken possession of the vehicle. As a result, we were always very reticent to sell a car "off the truck". Customers would swear up and down that they'll definitely follow through but, most of the time, they'd just never come to pick up the vehicle and we'd be stuck trying to unwind a contract. I'm sure this is common in a lot of states.

I think Tesla should offer a public bond on some kind of block chain that can earn interest and go towards a car automatically in 2-3 years. Effectively using an ICO for something with actual value. The point being you can sell your place in the queue (should your circumstances change) and also provide you with a secure saving scheme. Just a thought!

The Euro took away the single most painful thing still plaguing travel between EU countries. These days an EU citizen can up and leave to a different EU country with very little friction (aside from the language in some places), which was the idea. That goal was achieved.

It is unrealistic to expect that countries will somehow not be able to solve their financial issues just because they lost one tool. That's an excuse, not a reason.
You're absolutely spot on.

But it's not DBAs as in database admins that are needed. Every project should start with the correct data architecture and for that you need an architect. There are endless number of projects that eventually failed because the data architecture did not scale. That's due to a programmer who designs the database according to the way that their preferred tool works best, which is usually bad for data.

For any project that requires a database, always start with the method that data will be reported. If a report takes a long time to be generated because of your design, then you need to fix that first.

It’s more in a desire to maintain some level plausible deniability that they’re not engaging in mass political censorship.

They don’t want certain viewpoints on their platform, but they can’t just admit that they’re censoring them.

> Meanwhile Peter Fonda has spent this week making death threats and still has an active account.

He did a lot worse than that. He was very directly advocating for the kidnapping, harm and rape of a specific child.

You can't get any more open agenda than that as it pertains to the extreme bias in Silicon Valley. Their rules simply do not apply to their favored people. It will be necessary to regulate the tech platforms to stop it (and the Republicans will absolutely do just that, soon). I'm a socially liberal, political independent and the extreme SV bias has me cheering for aggressive regulation of the big platforms at this point.

It would be quite simple to implement: if they fail to consistently enforce their own terms, FCC fines that increase in scale with each subsequent violation. Something along the lines of a $10 million starter fine for allowing Peter Fonda to use the Twitter platform to directly threaten harm to a child and taking no action against the user. Ramp it up by $10m with each violation. Either Twitter stops selectively enforcing their own policies, or they get bankrupted (the fine stacking melts with good behavior over time). You'd either apply this regulation to only major platforms (based on users or revenue or both), or scale the fines / consequences to match the size of the service.

Fintan O’Toole: Trial runs for fascism are in full flow
35% income tax is incredibly low even for a below average salary! You guys have it made.
This is an interesting read. However, the final example is a bit puzzling, because point 6 does not follow from 5, 7 does not follow from 6, and 10 does not follow from the previous points because of the addition "if that preventive..." comes out of nowhere. It would be better to make the missing premises explicit.

On a side note, I'd like to question the usefulness of using the term "reasonable" in contemporary philosophy. The problem is that "reasonable" is an evaluative predicate. In its everyday, non-technical use "being reasonable" certainly also involves conforming to social norms and expectations, which has barely anything to do with the quality of reasoning. Philosophers would be better served to use another term instead of playing with words inventing connections between "reason" and "being reasonable" when those words have deviated so much from each other over the past centuries. In contemporary English, "reasonable" does not primarily/by default mean "based on (good) reasons."

Also worth mentioning is that moral philosophers rarely give satisfying definitions of having a reason vs. there being a reason, there being reason (mass noun reading), reasonable vs. rational, justification, reasoning, and good vs. bad reason. Especially the last point is strange, since we're ultimately only interested in good reasons.

That being said, again, it's a nice and interesting article.

I'm not a huge fan of their service for copyright reasons, they don't publish a database of the words (https://support.what3words.com/hc/en-us/articles/207769875) and the whole thing is copyrighted so you can't reuse it. It makes it pretty much useless as an universal address system for this reason.

Also on the downsides, I don't know for other languages but in French the words are NOT common words and a good half of them would require a dictionary for a native speaker, making the address system useless.

It's not so much that adjustments are made. It's more that when exports fall, the currency falls with it automatically, which helps for exports. In short, a floating currency helps regulate the import/export balance. Not having a floating currency means you need wage renegotiation and a lot of manual processes to achieve the same.

There are (at least) two parameters that are relevant for the fabric, and latency is the critical one for HPC. Have you seen a materials science computation, of the sort that typically takes much of the time on HPC systems, running on 1GbE and SDR IB, even on three nodes? It sometimes happened on our system by mistake in the 2009 era.

HPL is simply not a good measure of the utility of a system for HPC, which generally accepted amongst HPC people, who deserve to be listened to. There's a good reason you don't see petascale DFT calculations on one of these "cloud provider"s which comprise so much of the top 500. (That might work on Azure, or something else with an Infiniband-ish fabric, but I've still not seen it.)

Scott Forstall was fired for less serious issues, but Apple has continued to roll on without firing any other high level executives (directly connected to technology) in the last few years. Someone needs to take responsibility for the overall sad state of the Mac, all the software quality issues on its platforms, and the hardware quality issues.

To outsiders, Apple seems like an opaque and uncaring company, and for good reasons. What Apple needs is to spend time on self-reflection from top to bottom and radical thinking to change "the way things are". Until that happens, I wouldn't expect groundbreaking changes. "Think different" is what it badly needs. The sooner, the better.

99% of the people screaming here that it's incomprehensible either very clearly haven't read the source material or just don't understand how the law works in the EU (I guess they are from somewhere else and didn't bother to look anything up before forming an opinion).

Regarding your point about consensus, that's fair - however this has not been my experience. Most parties that you would ask for advice on the matter have a pretty good handle on what the different terms mean.

Your second point is mostly evidence (to my mind) of large corporations trying to get away with as much malicious compliance as they can possibly manage. You really do have to put a lot of effort in that, as you cannot assume the agency checking you will see good faith (which is, as far as I understand it, one of the requirements for not being slapped with fines very quickly).

As a Republican, and a conservative, freedom of expression is one of the principles I hold most dear. It used to also be a principle embraced by liberals, but they seem to have widely abandoned it, you don’t see conservatives going around trying to “no platform” people (which is an insidious euphemism). It is also one of the core principles the Internet was founded on, or at least of the early internet subculture. Sadly, this has also been widely abandoned by the organisations that have the most influence over the internet. I don’t see how you could plan to fight censorship with more censorship.

All the comments except for one in that thread were just people making up numbers out of thin air. The one comment that had some data is from 2009. They couldn't even name the source, but even if we assume the data is good, there's been an explosion of climbing gyms since 2009. The number of good amateur climbers has increased massively because of that, and the average grade people are able to climb has risen because of the training opportunities gyms provide.

In French, on their map demo which centers the map in Paris, it's already pretty bad. I honestly have no idea what some of the words mean.

Edit: A few examples taken randomly of mostly unused words in French (require a dictionary for a good 90% of native speakers): Volute, redise, dépiler, rapière, ânier, putatif, toison. All of that is in the center of Paris, and it took me 5 mins to find them, there's probably hundreds of rare words.
