I didn't find the price point right, because of the monthly battery lease. The battery lease eats out the price advantage of electricity vs gasoline, at least for my yearly mileage (20 000km).
The mirror was too flat in the middle and there was a slight wave. It was a mechanical issue when the polished the mirror starting in 1979 for over a year. It wasn't launched till 1990.
> Is Mercedes going to do that?

One of top execs at MB is my good friend so I'm getting this information from top source; he told me their idea is to go with replaceable batteries. You will have some sort of docking station in your garage and when you park short-term the car flips the batteries for you with a loaded one, or long term just auto-plug itself and charges overnight. No cables, no mess.

They work on this solution together with Citroen and BMW but I cannot find anything official or online. Ii will be offered to gas stations around the country and will take 1/3rd of a space that car washes are taking currently. Supposedly you won't even need to get out of the car - you just drive on it, stop, wait for green light, continue with freshly loaded battery! Much more comfortable solution than Tesla's stations.

BTW: I spend summers in Florida and looks like Teslas supercharges are dissapearing; I seen plenty of them at all Wholefoods parking lots in number of 10 or 16; now there is only one.
Okey Dokey, so I'm assuming Amazon has to reach singularity in order to sustain that value?

Something is not quite right. We are reaching significant highs and the US dollar is getting stronger. Several economies are collapsing mainly due to their currency crashing against the USD (Turkey, Argentina, Egypt, Tunisia, Iran, etc...).

I'll probably fail to find the comment but I was very bullish on tech stocks a year or more earlier. I'm still VERY bullish on them. Albeit I have to say that the risks now for a substantial correction is starting to go up.

Here are two possibilities:

1. Things go back to normal. Tech Stocks go up a bit more and then we correct. Possibly getting into a bear market. This time is not different.

2. This time it is different. Tech stocks carry on the bull market. Everything is a bull market even the US dollar. This crashes pretty much the rest of the world stocks and economies. The US economy and dollars crashes several economies and makes a come back as the most powerful economy on the planet.
Panasonic makes cells (on Tesla's specs) not batteries.
True, but the GP specifically called out the difference between eps and share price of the two companies "interesting", which makes it looks like share price is an interesting number independent of the number of shares issued. It is not.
A friend has an independent Mercedes/Porsche repair place in SF and told me that most of his business is repairing doors/windows and other issues like that. These repairs tend to be insanely expensive compared to what you think they should cost.
This was a one-off experiment with a really new technology, it makes sense to go with one global provider for that. (If you want to use it already outside that, you can enable it and set a server of your own choice)

If they intended to ship with DoH default-enabled, I'd hope Mozilla would not go with any single provider as a default.
You can also stream in most of the assets while the user is trying to remember their username/password.

The voltage doesn't matter in terms of charging speed. (Since for a given wattage, a higher voltage means a lower amperage.)
I did something similar after one year, I dropped out to start an app development business that was growing for me pretty steadily, the business didn't do well long term and I took a job in the industry. I Haven't regretted it yet and I'm far ahead of my peers in just the debt load alone, that doesn't even include my higher salary, better resume and more years of experience. I'm not too upset that I missed a few years of binge drinking myself to death to get a head start on my life.
Your bill to isp does not pay the bill for my time and make me a profit. I need to make money, and if you have a problem with my business model, you can move on.

You're going off on tangents and picking apart context unnecessarily. What does the insistence on reiterating that he still buys lottery tickets? So what? I've bought a few, and I don't have any money issues, it's fun to take a chance! We all have our vices, rich and poor still gamble. I piss away money on expensive cocktails because they are delicious. So what have it? If I couldn't afford them, it's not going to be a detriment to my happiness. The discussion isn't about whether having more will make anyone more or less happy, it's whether people are content with the lives they have now. Do they want an iPhone? Possibly. Are the happy without ever getting one? Probably. Would it be awesome owning a 30 million dollar mansion on a secluded beach front property? Heck yes! Am I less happy because I don't? No! Geez, lighten up!
I'd tweak that heuristic to say that you'll be entered into a lottery regardless, and as such it makes sense to figure out which revolution you're in the midst of.

In the 1960's you probably could have flipped a coin between tech and advertising.
These are also the only people known to have died in space so far (as opposed to in the atmosphere on the way to or from space).
> How does this make sense given the astronomical year-to-year increases in college costs with no end in sight?

Do you have a citation for the above increases? There have been big increases at state schools as state governments have reduced funding, but that's mostly over (there's much less state funding to cut now.) Nameplate cost at private institutions has gone up, but net cost to students (actual amounts paid by students after grants and financial aid) has not gone up that much.
IBM had a monopoly problem. Allegedly they had a group of lawyers to check every new product and business to avoid being broken up like Standard Oil. If they wouldn't have worried about that for sure they wouldn't have used a supplier to write the operating system. The established auto industry isn't similarly restricted.
Backus-Naur diagrams are sweet. I used to covet the one that Apple put out for Apple Pascal:

> I suggested common sense!

Common sense is far from infallible and in the face of an apparent in-good-faith suggestion I'm willing to question my common sense rather than follow it blindly. Note that this isn't the same as ignoring it, I'm just willing to admit that I might be wrong to start with.

> Until I start seeing 2 for 1 mortgages, 1/2 off gasoline, BOGO surgeries, and 25% off tuition in coupon books?

If I were really offered coupons as a solution to CoL, I would look into if such things existed. Sometimes what exists if you care to look for it can surprise you.

> So you would really response neutrally to your employer handing out coupon books instead of annual raises?

Realistically I would react as follows:

A) Immediate surprise and perhaps some incredulity depending on how the suggestion was delivered, but still thank them for the suggestion and let them know I would consider it.

B) Knowing basically nothing about using coupon books in this context, I'd take a few tens of minutes to look into how viable such a solution would be.

C) Conclude that while potentially useful in isolation, the overhead involved in implementing the suggestion wipes out the usefulness.

D) Return to my employer and inform them that their suggestion is not a viable solution and that I wish to continue salary negotiations in good faith.

This whole process would take less than a day.
On what basis are you quantifying this? You say you're ten years ahead ... Of what exactly? Compared to whom? Based on what?

I agree with you on the stick-on mirrors.

My current car has convex mirrors built in, and I find them very distracting. The little $6 stick on is a superior product.
For my startup, age is crucial: There's no way I could have done this work before I was 40, and similarly for would be competitors.

I had to learn about:

mainline business

entrepreneurship

startups

venture capital, what it is good for and what isn't

about people, especially in business -- vendors, employees, customers, investors, lawyers, management, organizational behavior, etc.

quite a lot of pure math

quite a lot of applied math and associated computing

my original applied math

The pure and applied math is Ph.D. stuff, and I do have that Ph.D. But some serious business experience is crucial. Just those two prerequisites rule out nearly anyone under 30.

But, but, but, people over 40 are out of new ideas? Not in my startup!!! The user interface, user experience, some of the computing, and especially the crucial core enabling applied math are far out, wildly new, "radical, provocative" stuff.

If I gave a lecture on the custom, internal ad targeting applied math, then nearly everyone in Silicon Valley, entrepreneurs and VCs, would soil the furniture and then, on the way to the restrooms, the carpet. Later they'd meet at a local bar, try to wash away the shock, and try just to f'get about that experience. Why? As I learned as a first year pure math grad student, there is little so intimidating, frustrating, confusing, and discouraging as a very nicely done, precise, fully correct, advanced, strikingly original, calm, lecture on pure math where understand only a key word now and then!!!!!

I do owe a thanks to the author, Irving W-B: At one time he invited me to give, and I gave, a very simplified version of just such a lecture on some of my research to some of his people!!!! What I gave then a colleague had pronounced "radical, provocative". After my lecture, some of Irving's people and I had lunch, and on one small point agreed that I'd reinvented k-D trees, IIRC in Sedgwick.

Think people over 40 can't be original? Ever hear Wagner's <i>Tristan und Isolde</i>?
I don't see Steve Jobs or Jeff Bezos as counterexamples to the article's thesis.

Jobs specifically was a much, much better CEO in middle age than he was in his youth. I think the same is true for Bezos. These folks were outliers when they were young, and they were even more extreme outliers after decades of experience.

Also, Gladwell's conclusion is only true for 2 of the 5 companies mentioned.
The solution is to just stop checking Slack all the time. People get used to not having a response in minutes if you train them for it.

I think it's more that people are worrying about what others think about them not responding. How about growing a pair? It will solve your problems.
University of Pennsylvania | Philadelphia, PA | ONSITE | https://www.waytohealth.org/

Way to Health is a patient engagement and research platform which has been used to power over 100 research studies and clinical programs improving the health of our patients. As just one example, the Heart Safe Motherhood program uses our platform to text postpartum mothers about their blood pressure for 10 days, allowing us to catch mothers at risk for preeclampsia long before they would otherwise show up in an ambulance.

As we scale from research to clinical and commercial use, the Software Developers on our team play a critical role in extending and supporting the platform - designing and building new features to enable novel patient engagement strategies, improving the user interface for our patients and providers, and troubleshooting issues affecting our users.

This position requires strong technical ability to design and build web applications and APIs, clear communication with team members and users to deeply understand user needs, and creativity to solve issues and meet requirements while paying off rather than accruing technical debt.

Bachelors degree and minimum 3 years experience in web development required. We use mostly PHP/Symfony and Vue.js so experience in either of those is a plus, but we will consider candidates with experience in other backend or frontend frameworks. An interest in medicine, research, and/or patient engagement is always great - we are an excited and engaged team who loves what we do and the impact that we can make.

Email me at [my HN username]@waytohealth.org with your resume or any questions - I'm happy to chat. Application is at http://w2h.us/devjob
Not a word about why any of this matters.

I don't like the NYTimes website, but I like their reporting. If a ton of JavaScript is the price, I'll grudgingly take it. If there's a better way to pay, I'll gladly take that. But this article doesn't provide one, making it nothing more than navel-gazing.
One of the troubles is that congress can't trust the army to admit the truth. Congress must guess.

You see, the army is controlled by the president. The president may be from a different political party or even be following his own personal agenda. The army must strictly obey orders according to the chain of command, and the president is at the top.

If the president dislikes tanks, he can order the army to place tanks into storage and claim that the tanks are not wanted. Congress is left wondering if the people in the army are stating their true expert opinions or just following orders.

Here is a real case that leaked out:

https://www.military.com/dodbuzz/2015/01/16/general-praising...
https://www.military.com/daily-news/2015/01/26/generals-a10-...

So yes, the military being ordered to lie to congress is a real thing.
Apple showed that if you are selling a premium product having a premium store is important.

Car dealerships will change, but I think that the carmakers could benefit from having them - if they play it right. They have a lot of inertia, so change is hard, but they also have deep pockets. And in Germany, they have the government in their pocket.
Ah, a bit out of my experience alas. Sorry! However, I'm still not sure how container orchestration would help with this.

I can still endorse PAAS for any "cloud" applications you may want to deploy.
Should this also apply to pedestrians, or only to cyclists? Because everybody is a pedestrian once they get out of their car.

I used to walk to work, and I always wore a hi viz vest on winter mornings when it was still dark. But none of my co-workers (who still had to cross streets to get from the parking lot to the office) did.

Education + colleges have been my full-time area of research and work for the past 12 months:

- The funnel of how we access learning has changed, and colleges are further down on the bottom of the funnel. Many are already losing money each year.

- Traditional education seems simply not able to keep up with the rate of change in society.

- How the majority of people today learn something, or acquire knowledge/skill/competency seems to be distinctly changing:

1) Find something on Google/Youtube. Failing that,

2) Find a small e-course. Failing that,

3) Find a larger e-course. Failing that,

4) If there's a lot of courses we discover we need, we look for perhaps a micro-credential or small course. Failing that,

5) If our need is beyond what a micro-course can provide, we may look at a program in a community college, polytechnic, etc.

- Academically speaking, the future of education is not solely online, or offline, or blended. These are dated academic concepts that don't cover the 70% of learning that is informal and occurs outside of the classroom. People just find a way to learn now, or share knowledge.

- We can't replace instructors, or instruction, we need to better support the instructors who are willing to learn digital skills. Many refuse. We have a lot of educators trying to use technology but not competent with it's capabilities or possibilities.

- The future of education is about creating better digital learning interactions that can evolve and update with the rate of change of best pracice in a domain. That domain will be digitally supported, whether it's digital classrooms, digital textbooks (of sorts), or digital learning, all powered through human connection.

- Education can't keep up with speed. Lots of topics are emerging and changing faster than ever before. A 2000 year old model of higher education will need to evolve, because knowledge and how to apply it is evolving quicker than traditional education can.

- Traditional colleges, while still very relevant, will have a diminished role in the most emergent or changing educational topics.

This isn't new, but I think the change will come not from the top or the bottom of the pyramid, but from the side at all levels. There are many good pockets of activity occurring, and while they don't make a suit quite yet...
Maybe one of these?

There should be a better mechanism for funding sites like Wikipedia that provide what is effectively a global, common, public good. Perhaps a budget from the UN or something should be set aside for funding projects like Wikimedia, Archive.org, etc.

It’s a bit ridiculous that something so important to so many people relies on donations from individuals.
> I think we are at risk of seeing the higher education system become increasingly bifurcated: winner-takes-all dynamics gradually centralize power in a tiny number of elite universities (there's a lot of work on this, that 2nd and 3rd tier colleges are under the most financial stress) and a larger 'commodity' higher education system focused on imparting skills (basically extended job training).

This is a pretty good analysis. Here in California, we have the community college system, which I think fits the description of your 'commodity' system quite well. We also have the Cal state schools, which I think don't, as much, but CA does have a unique system compared to a lot of other states.
I wanted to get into FPGA programming recently after feeling confident mastering my microcontroller skills and discovered that complex programmable logic devices (CPDLs) can be a stepping stone to full on FPGA prototyping. They somewhat of a similar high-level functional design and there are some nice guides online to get started on some projects.
Honestly looks like a site that was made in 12 hrs, and its just a bunch of random cheap chinese made junk. There is nothing compelling about this brand or the products listed. Browsed the site for about 10mins and cant remember one thing that stood out.
For the sake of all that's beautiful in this world, please do.
Well normal tempature has always been known to have a range. My normal temp is always 96.8 almost around the clock.

The BIG issue is when a fever begins which was always 101.5. My son had chemo with a port. Any fevers was a automatic 48 hours in the hospital getting cultures and antibiotics. I would start packing my bag when his hit 100. I knew it was going to be 101.5 within the hour. Now this means we can have people going in to the hospital sooner for fevers.
Most modules have some feature or other that needs to communicate with infotainment or another module that needs to communicate with infotainment. Error reporting is the big one, but there's lots of little ones too. The brake module, for example, may be involved in tire pressure sensing, and also takes configuration for traction control and reports activation.

It's hard to find an appropriate segmentation for an air gap without sacrificing features, and most customers won't trade features for "security".
Yes, you overwrite that system.
What is career stability now days anyways? Guys working at amazon right now are scared to death everyday they will get fired. I know people who lost jobs at almost every FANG company due to politics.

Not sure the difference anymore of working for the man and losing your job or doing a startup and failing.
Oh, that poster is nice!

This "movement" is not nearly as broad-based as the combination of loud online activism and press coverage suggests. The current social-media-fueled frenzied environment has a way of amplifying extreme views, and the concrete policy propodals from the "ethics" camp are extreme indeed.

It is not "unethical", for example, among the huge majority of the population, to cooperate with law enforcement in matters of immigration --- but to listen to advocates, cloud hosting for these organizations is beyond the pale. Every proposal I've seen has a similar character. To these people, "ethics" isn't about the timeline virtues of honesty and integrity. Instead, it's deplatforming your ideological opponents, because in activist world, the only explanation for disagreement is intellectual or moral defect.

This whole effort is a thinly-disguised political power play, and large socially-important infrastructure companies should not play politics. These companies serve too important a role in society to allow themselves to be weilded as political tools by a loud and angry few.
Your spelling of “noöne” is commendable - I love the rare occasions when I see things like coöperation these days - but “no one” is definitely two words.
Well, SF does have 70-80 smash and grabs (car windows broken) per day so...
Reminds me of some years ago, when I worked with a very talented and ambitious young tech manager, who was impatient and constantly frustrated by the hangups of corporate development. A couple of us old farts were talking about him one day, and one said that what he needs is a proper Death March.

There's something very sobering about being trapped onboard a sinking project, with everyone panicking and overworking, knowing that it's doomed and there's not a damned thing anyone can do about it. Teaches you that rushing doesn't help.
If you don't care about looks, you could just get some reflective tape (the kind used for trucks, e.g. V82). Use it on the bike and helmet and you'll probably be more visible than someone in a fancy jacket. Spending couple bucks on safety seems like a decent tradeoff.
Right, for varying degrees of "hit" - numerous failed QC, 24/7, tent-factory, not overly sustainable.
What OS or software is that? Is that a Mikrotik router with default firmware that accepts such rules as you posted?
I have to echo this. Utah is really booming, although home prices here are exploding as well (nowhere near as high as SV, but rapidly increasing) because of the burgeoning tech scene.

Every once in a while I will entertain solicitations from SV/Seattle recruiters for 2x+ the money and then realize I would be worse off financially than just staying in SLC.
I don't think they're a one trick pony, but much of what you listed are accessories dependent on their ecosystem, not ponies in and of themselves.
