Tesla is 15 years old, and operates out the NUMMI plant, that that was building 428,633 cars a year.[0]

Auto manufacturers changes models, every year. They either tweak them, completely redesign them, or launch new models. Ford even changed the entire frame and welding setup when they transitioned from steel to aluminum for the F150. None of them has these problems.

I'm sorry, but Tesla's growing pains should be over. And if they shouldn't be over, when should they? Does it take 20 years to figure out how to mass produce an item that has been mass produced by many different companies, from around the world, for about 100 years now?

At some point, you've got a man that has no previous experience running a manufacturing plant, repeating the same mistakes the industry made 40 years ago. Including most damningly trying to automate final assembly[1], because he thinks he's being clever.

Let's be honest here. Building a car with zero defects is possible. It's done every day at scale, at every Toyota plant in the world.

Why do you assume all whores are female? Now that's immoral!
Just so you know, the phrase is “toeing the party line”.
>>Shut down the plant and fix it properly?

Yes.

>> Who is going to fund that? What happens if it causes other issues? How long can you afford to do this?

I don't care. I am not an investor. I am a consumer, a potential customer. I don't care whether the Tesla company lives or dies. I care about the quality of the vehicle I might purchase. Seeing this sort of problem at Tesla is a red flag. I don't want to buy a car made in a factory with such problems.

What really worries me isn't so much the problem, but that Tesla isn't in full panic mode about it. The more defensive they and their supporters are, the more rooted the problem seems. A full shutdown and re-tooling would be a signal that they are a serious company. Musk has the money to do this. Instead we read about bandage solutions. The roots of the problem must be very deep.
Serta Simmons to Merge with Tuft and Needle
Neither article seems to link to substantive support of the conclusion. Last I looked the American Heart Association was against low-carb diets in general, while organizations like the American Diabetes Association seemed more open to them.
The opposite is more likely true. You are very unlikely to get a sense of how someone approaches a problem in an interview setting.

If given an assignment, it is very easy to have them explain after the fact.

There won't be a war, by the way. I honestly think we're past the point as a species where superpowers duke it out in such a literal fashion.

Even when physical violence never occurs, it still fits into the geopolitical equation. So long as Taiwan continues to exist in a state of defacto independence, the US can act as a distant, only somewhat interested hegemon in opposition to local Chinese hegemony. Geography still dictates military strategy and power. So long as Taiwan remains a place to potentially base aircraft and ships, China can't credibly threaten and control the South China Sea. Taiwan itself is situated in relatively rough seas and has a rugged coastline which drastically restricts opportunities for a seaborne invasion. Invading Taiwan will take a supreme effort, smaller but in the same order of magnitude of the effort required to mount the D-Day invasion.

China's influence and dominance will happen through the private sector, ironically.

Thankfully.

They have their own versions of Google and Facebook: Baidu, Alibaba, and Tencent.

I hope that the Great Firewall will be like the South China Sea. China may be influential, but the wells of culture run deep. Therefore the impetus for Japan and Korea to remain independent also runs deep and will remain strong.

Given that the term "culture war" has no set definition and best I can tell is just a dog whistle for "rally the bigots against <least favorite minority group here>", I'm really at a loss as to what your point is.

Are you concerned changing cultural tides will put you on the wrong side of history? Or is it more of an existential angst about privilege? I think we're in agreement that current trends are very serious, although it appears for opposite reasons.
From what I can tell from one listing of the text[0], it looks like there are two levels of protection.

The first (what you were discussing) prohibits non-competes completely for certain classes of employees (non-exempt, interns in school, employees terminated without cause or laid off).

The second applies to everyone else and has 8 requirements for a non-compete to be enforceable, including "the agreement includes a garden leave clause or other mutually-agreed upon consideration between the employer and the employee", where the garden clause includes at least 50% of the employee's wage! Of course, "other mutually-agreed upon consideration" could be something much less...

Also interesting: the law looks like it applies to any non-competes signed after October 1 - it starts in 10 days!

Spend any time on the crypto currency subreddits and you’ll find dozens of people who took out >$20k loans to buy cryptocurrency. There are people still doing it. My co-working office space was filled with people in December talking non-stop about buying crypto currency, although all the crypto currency traders are long gone now.

I don’t think people losing tens of thousands are the norm but absolutely there is a never ending list of people who’ve lost most of what they put in, whether that was hundreds or low thousands.
> There's only been one Tarrare.

Sure, but there was also a Charles Domery (AKA Domerz)[1]. They even overlapped in time, and were both in/around France.

I like to imagine an alternate history in which a military conflict was settled not with battle, but by pitting these two against each other in an eat-off. They're both alleged cannibals, so I guess the logical end for that competition would have been for the winner to eat the loser.

Why? If I store your height and weight for you as part of my app, but compute on the server-side the quotient of those for server-side features, why do I need to give you that intermediate value? Would you then be entitled to any intermediate variables used in any calculations that use your data?
I had to chortle at this clever line. The article writer simply couldn't resist :)

I suspect the other element is that if the line fails completely in the middle, the new splice is now structurally critical to holding the line up - so you need it to be as good, or better, than the original manufactured line.

I have not been able to pin this down.

What law/rule did the FCC allegedly violate?
Your whole reason for replying to the submission seems to be "heh, ClojureScript already had this, but better ;)" but I'll chime in to say that the differences between Clojure and Elm, having used both extensively, especially become apparent when it comes time to refactor.

I would say that Elm lets me refactor front-end code fearlessly. I can confidently rewrite abstractions that are so fundamental that I'd be stuck with them forever in a dynamically-typed language because the rewrite would be so much more costly.

It reminds me of when people say that Mongo is better than Postgres for prototyping because it doesn't have a schema. In my experience, the very concept of having explicit schema transformation as the schema changes is why I'd consider Postgres to be better for prototyping: it's precisely the time when your schema is changing the most.

Of course, if we could unanimously agree on these trade-offs, then we would all be using the same stack and there would be no dynamic vs static typing debates.

As stated in other comments, Xanax or other benzos can bring you down. Or you could go to the hospital and get injected with a nice strong sedative like Haldol. None of these approaches are particularly healthy longterm.

The closest thing I've found to a magic pill after years of searching has been CBD. Smoking a high CBD cannabis strain is probably the fastest way to get it in your system in an emergency. If you're somewhere smoking isn't an option, they have tinctures you can put under your tongue. Unlike Xanax or other pharmaceutical solutions, CBD is natural, has mild to no side effects, isn't addictive, and is non-toxic i.e. it won't kill you if you overdose.

> they don't have the decades of experience running factories like this

Then Elon Musk is incompetent. Because the fact is, if you don't have the experience in running a factory, you hire someone that does. This is literally a problem that you throw money at, and it goes away.
The average person is much better off putting their money in a whole market index fund that charges a tenth of a percent (or less) rather than a managed fund that charges 1%. The managed fund is unlikely to outperform the index fund in the long term.
I've read that the drumstick tree [1] is a sort of wonder tree [2] too. It is grown a lot in South India, and the pods as well as the leaves are used as food. The pods are commonly added to sambar, a dish made from dal, vegetables and spices.

Very interesting! I've been debating if we want to continue using Sphinx (http://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/b...) for our documentation website, and focus on a tool that provides a more robust platform for publishing a content focused site.

Sphinx is great for building out an API reference, but there's so much more to a documentation website beyond that.

Anyone have insight into this idea?
I really like the way Norway has done it. A couple of years back they introduced a law that to make non-competes enforceable the company would have to pay you a full salary for the duration that you're blocked out of other work.
Non-competes has function, but it's far too cheap for the company and far too expensive for the employee. Now the employer has to consider whether it's a position it's worth to protect or not, rather than just put it in the default contract
VB comes from the same lineage. Heck, even delphi does, obviously.

This is something I support, provided the time involved for the candidate is roughly the same as the onsite interview. I can talk about code I’ve written in advance much more easily than anything can pull DP algorithms out of my ass on the spot.
You're right on driver support vs application support. There also aren't a lot of new applications in this space. I've been looking for a note taking/diagramming app with both stylus and touch support that will function as "a better piece of paper" in terms of being able to rotate and zoom on an infinite canvas; put down variable lines, grids, and dot grids; easily select and move or resize content; and I've been pretty disappointed by the offerings.

I think the use case is a little esoteric in our community, I've been seriously thinking about trying my hand at creating an application to address my needs when I get some downtime from my contract work.
Yeah, I ask because that's my personality type as well, and stress has manifested in a number of chronic physical symptoms for me (primarily wrist pain and gastro problems). Treating the symptoms as a signal, like "oh, I must be stressed" or "hmm, maybe that's bothering me more than I realize" has improved my symptoms significantly.
Colorado Prepares to Install ‘Smart Road’ Product by Integrated Roadways
Are you sure? Not a production expert, but it sounds to me like this is a confusion of 'complete a car every 1-3 minutes' and 'complete a car in 1-3 minutes' They are two very different things, and I'm quite sure that no one is completing entire cars in 1-3 minutes.
When everyone starts talking about cryptocurrencies, one should stop investing. A variant from a stock market quote.
You sound like average people should not start from Windows but from Slackware, so they will have better understanding of what's comprised of their machine.

It's a good start to give people the sense of what can be achieved by customization. If they don't like it from there they can certainly learn and tune to their needs, which should give more motivation than getting stuck googling for hours without any results from a bare terminal.
What's the problem here? That software devs were investing in a potential future? That they were getting wrapped up in hype? I bet these new investors learned quite a bit about markets and will be a little more knowledgeful when it comes to negotiating equity.

Emissions is a totally different issue. The cars with the illegal emissions were flawed in design, but the factory that made them still made them perfectly. It is naive to equate errors in design with errors in production. The former are largely irrelevant until you have a handle on the later.
> use of dictionary passing as a substitute for typeclasses

No, I mean that neither Elm nor Standard ML has nor needs typeclasses. No language needs typeclasses.

Both Elm and Standard ML have additional type constraints for numbers and comparable types that aren't implemented in terms of a user-definable type constraint like Haskell's typeclasses.

Another example of their being different is that Haskell offers custom user-defined operators, whereas Elm intentionally does not allow user-defined operators. There are a fixed list of them, and that's it. A great many languages have that policy too, and I would not call them wrong to do it that way.

Again, there are sound design reasons to make either choice! There are costs and benefits to making things user-definable. If you prefer the way Haskell did it, great! That's why we have different programming languages. :)

As an individual American who is not involved in intelligence or military work, I can condemn such actions by any nation while maintaining moral consistency.
That doesn't even make sense. Anyone that is attempting to invest in crypto is a noob, even the ones that claim to be 'experts'. Nobody had any type of signaling to predict a price deflation for any of the crypto assets.
The hard lesson is about timing, not about expertise.

I've never had a druthers to read the Big Novels. I've usually found them almost pointless. Which is probably more on me than any other thing. Always have preferred books with a bit of sparkle and imagination - great science fiction or fantasy - interesting in the worlds built and the characters in them. E.g., Jim Butcher and Seanan McGuire are nearly automatic buys right now.

As I've gotten older, my tolerance for blather has dropped like a stone, though. And some authors blather and yammer. E.g., a certain popular author lovingly details the military details of his space ships, which is really irrelevant to pretty much the entire rest of the book. Wish he'd keep that stuff in his private notefiles.

For non-fiction, I am, when I have the time, gripped by it to a great degree... although I confess I straight up fell asleep the other weekend.

I also note that my attention tends to wander a lot more than it used to when I'm bored. Some of this I attribute to the US national mood; some of it I attribute to Sturgeon's law and my increased sensitivity. And some of it I attribute to the dopamine hits social media gives us. I also wonder about experience and pattern matching - I'm 34, not 14. I've seen a fair bit of stuff before.

Another thing that I want to remark on - the non-fiction world is, simply put, a fascinating place that can be explored at will, to arbitrary depths, at this point. Fiction authors have to compete with, e.g., people on Twitter talking about their sessile spiny oysters and showing pictures of them off. If I was a hair less sleepy this morning, I might have spent 20 minutes learning about spiny oysters - where in 2004 I might have read a fiction paperback instead. So perhaps, in a certain subset of the population, we're all turning into the people who would have read the encyclopedia for fun, with its short articles on fascinating topics.

It's also not true. Bezos has said very little about Trump. Trump is mostly pissed because he owns WaPo which reports on his misdeeds.

No. Potassium and phosphorus are two other macro nutrients. There are also some micro ones. (Going on the basis of what I read long ago or learned in school, maybe there is more current science now.)

I had a friend that did an interview homework assignment, was declined for the job, then found out that they used his assignment's code in production through a friend that already worked at the company.

>Even if everyone did it (they don't; most countries have nowhere near the necessary capabilities), it does not follow that all can or do do it to the same extent.

My comment does not assume that everyone does it or that everyone does it to the same extent.

>And this is not a situation in which all sides doing it makes any less likely to continue. It is more akin everyone polluting because everyone else does.

You've lost me completely. What did I say to suggest that everyone doing it makes it less likely to continue?

>Not all polluters are equal, but they should all be condemned and if possible stopped.

It's a bit easier to pin blame for pollution on someone than it is to pin blame for meddling in another country's politics, which is almost necessarily clandestine. That's why it's reasonable to expect that countries will be able to make and keep agreements to limit pollution, even if they don't have a great relationship, but not particularly reasonable to expect that they will be able to make and keep agreements to not interfere in each others' internal affairs.
