OK, all of this is true, and concerning to me, despite that I would never buy a Tesla (when there are perfectly good used Nissan Leafs out there!). This is part of the reason I never invest in individual stocks: I have no tolerance for the risk, and no confidence that I can interpret all these facts to come up with a coherent estimate of whether the price will go up or down.

I guess my question right now is: if the situation is so dire, and the facts are all out there, why is TSLA not priced lower? Is it that there's enough dumb money holding/buying it propping up the price? Or are investors confident in Musk's ability to raise money and eventually turn the corner? Or something else entirely?

I worked for a company that does online pharma. It was an incredibly annoying experience in a lot of ways to the regulatory headaches and the IT group's horrifying and irrational risk aversion--fear based programming is just no fun at all! Also, it was an all IBM shop, because some of the founders came from IBM and apparently still got kickbacks or something. What a shitty situation all around.

Here's just one example: My team was not allowed to use Tomcat. We wanted to move to embedded Tomcat for our web apps because it was so much easier to deal with versus Websphere and all that thing's baggage. IBM's JVM sucks. IBM's RAD environment sucks. IBM's build tools (headless RAD) totally fucking sucks. It was thus impossible for such a small team to get anything done with all these headwinds, so all we wanted was to run Tomcat or Jetty which many of the company's vendors already supplied in-house applications ran on. The IT Dept. wanted to commission a multi-year study on Tomcat even though I showed them they are already running it inside their walls and have been for years! The place made utterly no sense to me. It was just job security for crumb bums, I guess. I finally gave up when they doubled down on mainframe purchases and waterfall methodology. How they remain in business is beyond me. Amazon will fucking stomp them into the mud, probably.

> It turns out using declarative style makes things more readable and safer and better optimized by the compiler.

I don't think most of my loops are straightforward maps or filters of a single iterable. I need to reference various data sources and execute actions with side-effects. To do that using a functional framework, something like Haskell's mapM ("monadic map") is required. But that brings quite some mental overhead and I find it way too constraining for the typical case.

> more readable and safer and better optimized by the compiler.

I doubt these are in general qualities of non-builtin constructs vs builtin ones. But yes, too much builtin and non-orthogonal functionality leads to detrimental complexity.

In any case I don't think it matters much to most compilers whether you write a loop using syntactic sugar or as labels and jumps.
Someone else would certainly buy them. The brand is too good to let it vanish. So it's just a matter of price -- the more indebted is Tesla the more likely someone would buy it.

> For trips shorter than four miles, it is likely that travellers would opt for low-capacity autonomous taxis or shuttles rather than taking high-capacity mass transit options like buses or trains.

This is the crux if the problem. Mass transit is very inefficient for short point to point trips in many cities.

Say I want to get from the Southwest portion of a city to the Northeast, 3 miles away. A bus is probably the most viable mass transit option for this in most places. But in order to take the bus, I have to get on one and make at least one transfer. If the bus runs every 10 minutes (which is generous for the city I live), that means I'll have to walk to the bus station (possibly in a different direction) spend up to 20 minutes waiting on buses given the transfer, then walk from the destination station to my end point. All this while trying to figure out what is the actual best route. Or, as the article suggests, I can just take an AV. What is more appealing for someone working in a downtown area?

Personally, as is right now, it's a toss up between bike, walk, or ride share. But ride share is expensive, walking and biking are physical actions, and regardless of what anyone says, biking in any major downtown area of the US can be dangerous. AVs are anticipated to solve the cost problems associated with ride shares, which is good, but as the article puts it, at the cost of 5.5% increase in traffic in downtown (other areas decrease) IF policies such as repurposing street side parking aren't inacted. To me, even at a 5.5% increase in traffic, the benefits of AVs seem to outweigh the cost. The benefits being less people owning cars (freeing personal finance of that burden), fewer parking spaces needed, and the ability to work and commute at the same time (or do whatever you couldn't do while driving) just to name a few things.

In the Japanese article it just says something like "the owner of the property" and it isn't written in detail.

After reading an another Japanese article, it is written that a Taiwanese bought the whole Sotobanari island around 1985 to pray for the many Taiwanese coal miners who died in the island, but the owner was unfortunately killed in Taiwan in 2013.

I think that the relatives of this owner now own the island and wanted to do some farming on the island.

Google is currently selling this service for youtube, branded "youtube red." It costs $10/mo and as part of that they also offer to repair some of the crippleware in the youtube app.

It doesn't seem worth it, to me. I need ad blockers anyway for other ad services and annoyances so I end up just avoiding their built-in ad-riddled apps and going through a browser for things like youtube. It's a poor experience but better than dealing with ads.

I understand the value prop for shipping crippleware apps in a low cost android phone, but they ship the same stuff on flagship $1k phones like the pixel. It's a bizarre choice.
>[below $5,000, that's when miners start asking themselves, 'is it worth keeping this machine on?']

That's what we said when Bitcoin was at $30, when it was at $300, and I'm sure we will say it again when it's at $3,000.

You don't have to be a genius to predict Bitcoin's market swings. A miner incurs capital and operational expenditures to acquire fancy digital tokens known as Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.

That miner then needs to have the intestinal fortitude (aka "stomach") to hold on to those coins while waiting for the next viral hype cycle to occur in the coins they own.

If it never comes, the miner loses a lot of money, permanently. If the hype cycle does come, then at that point it's just an exercise in guessing the top of the market to maximize profit.

Trading anything in the world is just like this. Beanie babies, gold, retro video games, and so on.

There's a table in the GitHub repository that shows the inputs and outputs for various equivalent slices in JavaScript and Python [1]. If you're familiar with the Python slicing syntax, that should make the syntax mapping fairly clear. The way to translate a Python slice definition to JavaScript is to use double square brackets instead of single ones and to replace the colons with commas. So array[::-1] becomes array[[,,-1]], array[3:] becomes array[[3,]], etc.

> Loops are closer to what CPU actually does. A compiler is therefore simpler to implement and will likely contain less surprises.

I dont find the argument convincing. By that assembly is closer to what CPU actually does, why not write code using goto (or binary)? We all can agree on its easy to write reasonably good code high-level languages. I think it because high-level languages are closer to the problem domain (or our thinking), hence it's easier to define the solution in these languages. same for recursion.

> It’s easier to use a debugger on procedural-style or OO code (step in/over/out, local variables) compared to recursive functional style advertised by SICP.

I feel exactly opposite. OO by definition have state bound to object outside the method (not actually local variable), so you have to watch all the objects method is affecting. Not pleasant experience when you have hundreds of objects. A recursive code on the other hand usually depends only on the local arguments so you can only focus on current step.

> In most runtimes, call stack is limited to a small size, a couple of megabytes. Stack overflow exception is hard to handle in a reasonable way. When instead using a loop with a stack container for the state, it can be much larger, also easier to handle overflows i.e. implement soft and hard limits.

Well, depends on the platform you are working on. For desktop at least it's definitely not "a couple of megabytes".

I feel that most of the time choice is between readability and performance. Sometimes maybe the solution is inherently iterative/recursive making choice easier. ymmv though.

That was handled very poorly by the open-source project, I think all projects need something like kentcdodds's all-contributors[0] guidelines which does require additional tooling and there is definitely additional code reviewing care in order to merge Pull Requests but it makes all contributors feel good when they look back at the effort of all contributions. I experienced this first hand when I contributed to one of the open source modules of the guy, the repo tooling didn't let me submit the code and I said to myself "well this is stupid, I just need the code to be merged ASAP", after a few minutes at first I figured it out and the PR got accepted. Now I can actually go back and say "hey look at my face in the Readme of the repo, that's me, yay!" which sounds stupid but I assure you I won't hesitate to contribute again.

Each of them can be put in their own category and is/was very successfull in their own way. The common thing is that they are Steve Jobs imitators to the point of meaningless details like wearing same clothes as him or listening to the same music.

There are many reports about Jack Dorsey being inspired/obsessed by Steve Jobs. Running 2 companies also rings a bell.

As for Sqare, yes they are headed towards (big)? success, but they are not there yet. And from what I see they are much better at operations than inovations, which is different from what Steve Jobs was known for.
It sounds like an area where the organization has scaled past a solution that worked when the company was smaller. I mean, Creating a staff with 1000 knowledgeable and well trained CS reps is probably a ten year process...even if that number was stable and not growing and there was only 10% turnover, there's two new reps every work week.

My first thought is to look at the Slack stats and see which engineers seem to enjoy helping CS and make triaging Slack their job priority for a while with the goal of improving interdepartment communication processes. In my opinion, saying "read the FAQ" is about as helpful an answer as "read the manual" is on StackOverflow...over the long term it's a good solution, in the moment it's bullshit.

Good luck.

> Loops are not necessarily close to what a CPU actually does either

Indeed, not necessarily, but very often. Unless automatic vectorization is involved, long loops are very often quite close to the machine code uploaded to CPU. Inside the CPU it’s free to do whatever, but on the public API, it’s still loop instructions.

> the fact that high-level domain-specific code needs high-level domain-specific debuggers to be built alongside.

That’s not a fact, that’s your opinion. I don’t code SQL nor Fortran, mostly C++ and C#, sometimes Python and others. The debuggers I have in corresponding IDEs are already built, they are sufficiently high-level for domain specific code, but the debuggers themselves aren’t domain specific, they are pretty general purpose.

I think that's fighting human nature. One of the things that separates us from other creatures is our constant desire to fight entropy. Sentient life itself is the ultimate reversal of entropy; while the universe becomes more complex around us, we reduce complexity in every environment we enter by organizing matter to build more and more efficient systems.

Its not crazy to think that, if we live that long, we will figure out a way to escape even the end of the universe (I'm reminded of Asimov's The Last Question). But that progress definitely won't happen if future generations can't build on what we've learned.

I actually think living with the idea that everything is temporary is very very dangerous. Nothing is temporary, except you. We need to live with the humility to recognize that our life on this planet is incomprehensibly short, and we need to spend it doing everything we can to give our children the headstart they need to do everything they can to give their children a headstart... into infinity. That's the only way we improve as a species. That's why there is no greater sin than destroying or limiting access to information, and conversely why the internet is literally the most substantial development in the history of mankind.
