This is the interesting thing. Automobiles are turning into software, obviously. And one of the things about software is that the “all you can eat for one price” model is rapidly dissapearing.

Nobody can survive without turning customers into revenue streams, so we have SaaS, in-app purchases, and so on. I predict that automobiles will go that way, they will essentially become a service, whether you get one exlusively to yourself or share it on demand.

I'm not worried at all about consumer-data-driven startups who are "late to the game".

I'm concerned about the impact GDPR has on small businesses. GDPR applies to every business regardless of size. This is how it should be in a state under the rule of law, after all.

For small businesses, however, the effort required for implementing GDPR is considerably larger in relative terms than it is for larger companies. Even if you don't process any data beyond what's necessary due to legitimate interest such as for accounting purposes the effort required for properly documenting your processes and third-party data processing can be quite considerable. Larger companies already do have lawyers to deal with this. As a small business owner you usually don't.

This in itself isn't all that bad. It's mostly a one-time effort and as an added benefit it allows you to rethink and streamline your processes.

However, some aspects of GDPR have been left rather open and ambiguous in terms of how to actually implement them (sometimes intentionally so to make the regulation somewhat future-proof). Please see this earlier comment on some issues that small business owners are faced with:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17099878

Some of that ambiguity and uncertainty opens up new opportunities for the practice of sending a certain type of cease-and-desist letters that already incurs a fine at first notice (e.g. for supposedly not meeting legal requirements such as having a properly worded privacy statement on your website). This practice is rampant in some areas and industries. So far unfortunately, neither the EU nor the member states this applies to have undertaken significant steps to fight this.

What really irks me is that EU officials dismissed these concerns on several occasions. It's almost as if for them SMBs simply don't exist and the world is all about Google and Facebook.

They have already sold a lot of Model 3s, and they have 16 months to sell a lot more of them. Personally I don't really care all that much about when they hit 5k/week, 6k/week, or whatever. Even if they stayed at 4k/week that is 240K cars over the next 16 months, plus however many S/X/Y models they sell in that time.

The counter argument is that the demand for the 3 will be exhausted at some point, which could well be true. But the availability of the cheaper short range Model 3 will spike demand before that happens.

As they note in the article, there's only a small amount of known courtsiders, they have their pictures, they're taught to look for them. One of the courtsiders even says he just keeps his phone out, because it's his face that gets him caught.

"iirimets said that since just his face is enough to get him kicked out, he doesn’t make much of an effort to hide his cell phone anymore. For Pete, it’s the same. And I can see how they’re both distinctive-looking enough to stick out like sore thumbs—Rainer is tall with close-set eyes and thick eyebrows, while Pete has big, glowing eyes that take up much of his squarish face. The first catch instantly halves the viability of a courtsider’s career; the hundredth means it’s almost pointless to continue."

They sold more than 28,000 Model 3s in Q2. They're on track to deliver more than 50,000 in Q3. Will probably sell more 400,000 next year (assuming only a small improvement from the current run rate).

They'll probably exceed 80% of EV market share in the US for years to come. Legacy automakers haven't got any source of battery (the Chinese will keep their production for the Chinese market, or only sell them for high margin). We've yet to know how the traditional automakers plan to make EVs in volume (intention don't count anymore).
Yes, EVs have "low" maintenance but they are not without maintenance and other usual car issues like A/C, accident related fixes etc.

Owning Tesla outside of Warranty is worse than owning Benz outside warranty. Unless Tesla expands its support and does a better job with "ownership" and "repairability" of their Cars, I would Trust an 8 year Benz to an 8 year old Tesla .

The maintenance costs almost surely drop assuming everything else stays the same. Simply by having a far simpler drivetrain that should need less maintenance.

But I'm sure auto manufacturers and dealers will invent new ways of making money. Paid software updates? Prohibitively expensive batteries and battery swaps? Charging slightly more for the increasing number of parts that make up the rest of the car and break down regardless of drivetrain?

An ICE powered car can happily chug along with relatively little maintenance for far longer than any of today's batteries will last. The engine won't wear out as quickly as the battery. This means the resale value of an EV could be vastly diminished if the buyer realizes the utility of the car has gone down because the battery is worn to a level that would require the above mentioned swap. Also, with the quick pace of advancing technology an old EV has very little resale value unlike classic tech that mostly gets touchups these days, so 5 years difference isn't that noticeable.

So don't worry about these guys, as long as something can break down they will find ways to milk you for the repair. And on top of that there's nothing stopping classic manufacturers from dumping dealership networks altogether as soon as they go EV only if they find this to be a financially sound move.

I'm pretty sure everybody is just calculating what's the perfect time to introduce subscription services so they don't cannibalize current sales. So future sales and support models will surely be very different from what we take for granted today.
Should I stop at intersections where I have right of way and a driver on the cross street might be turning right on red? (I can't tell precisely because far too many people don't signal.) Because that's the most frequent reason I'll give a few toots of the horn.
> The i3 one might be technically interesting, but the car was never intended to be produced in volume so it's just a nice niche thing.

It's a proof of concept, and a way to test the market before really committing to sustained production of electric cars. BMW could produce other electric cars in volume if they decide the market is viable.
The problem was they are trying to shift to large-scale car manufacturing, and car manufacturing is hard.

They basically have a tent erected in the Nevada desert, next to their stalled plant, where they are hand-assembling cars now, which is causing all kinds of quality issues [1].

Honestly, the buyout from VW would have solved this issue because VW knows how to build cars at scale [2]. The fact they shot this down is exactly that - hubris - and now they're burning through the last of their cash reserves on their way to bankruptcy.

Exactly. The entire industry realizes the shift to a subscription is coming and getting here fast.

As a city dweller I got rid of owning a car in 2015. Now I just hop in someone elses car using a ride sharing app if I'm going a short distance. If I am going a long distance I can rent someone elses car, either from a company that owns a fleet or from an individual using Turo / GetAround.

In SF you can rent a car to drive somewhere using Uber's GetAround integration for as little as $8/hour. Crazy.

I'd argue against asking questions that have a clearly negative predicted response. Whenever a question is clearly skewed in one direction, the subject has a tendency to become suspicious and will often try to give the unintended answer. This is why tests like the MMPI use validity indicators and repeat questions.

Tesla is (attempting to) scale up production to capture market share at a time when it's just not profitable to sell electric cars. If BMW says they can't yet be made at a profit, I believe them - not the guy who lives on subsidies.

Once there is profit to be had and "game on," people are going to buy from existing brands with deep manufacturing expertise, not from a hype machine that might not be in business in 5 years.

As to Jeong's tweets, I don't think they're attacks on men or white people. If you think they are and find them rude and offensive, fair enough, that's a matter of taste. What is not a matter of taste and what I am claiming is an obviously poopy argument is insisting that replacing 'white people' with 'Jews' produces statements of equivalent offensiveness and appallingness. That is not the same ballpark, league or even sport [1].

Indeed, Tesla is supply constrained. The next three years of Fremont production are spoken for (reservations + demand not yet realized as a reservation).

Gotta get those production rates up to pay off bonds and amortize capex though.
I hope not. I hope the car that I paid for becomes simpler, so that I can repair it myself or at a local shop. That would also mean that I get to own the software the car runs. It's sad when actually owning something sounds like an insane fever dream.
If you embrace it, its totally fine. Lived in Pittsburgh for 2yrs before moving to Seattle and the trading of snow storms with the rain/wet weather in the winters is a win in my opinion. You have 3 fantastic ski resorts within 2hrs of Seattle & Whistler/ Mt. Baker is 4-5hrs away so plenty of opportunities for winter activities. Wineries in WA and OR are open all year around (AFAIK) and plenty of winter brews to enjoy all around.
At least in Europe, I think it will be more likely that the electricity companies will put them out all over the place (think parking meters, but that are actually chargers), with a unified system that identifies you and charges the cost of the electricity in your home bill. This is how it works in Barcelona already.
Personally, I would much rather purchase a vehicle through a dealer so that if and when I do need service or repair work done I can just use the dealer. I have read far too many Tesla repair horror stories.

The most interesting thing to me is that it appears that most of these bets are really just head-to-head between sparring courtsider: trying to control the betting line through speed (and betting algorithms.) It's just a high-stakes game of SlapJack.

"Often, courtsider-led betting syndicates will match up against each other, putting both the fast fingers at the tournament and their respective algorithms to a head-to-head test. It’s common for courtsiders to recognize one another from across the court at a match. At bigger tournaments, they may spot a dozen or more such familiar faces in the crowd. Brad Hutchins estimated that there have been as many as 50 courtsiders working simultaneously inside the main stadium at a Grand Slam; another thought the number could be nearly twice as high."
Your math sounds wrong, so I did it on paper and proved that it's wrong.

The average bandwidth for a mobile device in the USA is about 3.25 mb/s (26mbps). So to load your "2-4mb" Javascript library you're looking at 400ms to connect + 1000ms to download resources. That's 1400ms.

Now for the rest of the math I benchmarked my own website. My homepage is ~300kb and loaded in 461ms. The fastest you're going to get ANYTHING back from my server is about ~170ms.

Lets start with your App. 1,400ms and the app is loaded. Load another page and it takes 200ms to load another 5kb of content. Load one more page and it's another 200ms for 5kb of content. I've been waiting on your website for a total 1,800ms and viewed three "pages" of content.

Lets move on to my website. ~450ms and the site is loaded. Load another page and it takes another ~450ms to load another 300kb. Load another page and that's another ~450ms to load another 300kb. I've been waiting on my website for a total of 1,350ms and viewed three actual pages of content, but the user only had to download 900kb instead of 4mb.

So I think you proved the OP's point.

While I do agree that your approach leads to good result, I still don't see why you wouldn't add a compilation step to minimize/tree shake/TypeScript/etc.

If you're good enough to be conservative in what you pull in, you'll still be that, except you get to benefit from all the things a compilation step can offer. It still strikes me as a somewhat arbitrary limitation to impose on yourself.

I use webpack for almost all my projects, and TypeScript for a bunch of them. I'm also very mindful of what packages I use and the result is nice little bundle. I wouldn't be able to get the results I want if I limited myself by not having a compilation step.
"attack"

Getting very tired of such headlines and such language in reporting.

How about "inevitable technological evolution" and a corresponding "business plan".

Despite appearances, the world is not constantly on fire -- in every last corner the news cycle touches.

I'm glad there is increasing competition in what seems to be the next step in the automobile's evolution and that of personal transport. (Like it or hate it. Just try prying individualized timing and control of travel, from the hands of many in the U.S., for one thing.)
Well, not just some library. (The 'standard library' should be seen as part of the language.)
At some level hardware is hardware. If the headlight has a module that needs to to authenticate then someone would offer a "send in your core and we replace all the shattered plastic and glue it back together" service. Such services are commonplace in the aftermarket parts industry. Usually they just charge you for the core and credit you when the core you send in is good but for rare/low volume stuff you have to send in a core before they do anything which is the business model I would expect to see for something like a Tesla headlight.
well I submitted it - and i have not noticed any favouritism in the past :-)

I suspect it's probably some mix of re-submitting affecting timestamps - I am not sure, which was why I asked. it's not terribly important.

I think the problem to be solved however is hard, and i don't know of any obvious solutions, so perhaps "shit" is probably too harsh.

> Also I wish that road vehicles had radios so drivers and riders could communicate intention like we do when flying

NO! Dear god no! Most people suck at communicating and could you imagine to road rage? Even though as a pilot you aren't supposed to chit chat on the radio I'm positive you've heard it.

Also you couldn't realistically set up something like ATC so you could have flight following. Not only would tracking that many vehicles be extremely difficult, but setting up all the transponders and receivers would be near impossible. You may notice you have a hard time talking to ATC below 1kft AGL. Plus everyone is in such close proximity at all times what are they going to do? "November 1234 Whisky, you have a Chevy incoming from your 6 oh clock passing on the left. Stay course." Or (in general channel) "Traffic at 6th and main, there is a cyclist approaching from the East on 6th, please use caution" and everyone that isn't at 6th and main tunes out, learning to tune things out.

Flight works because even at a busy airport the communication is still relatively small.

Unfortunately it's near useless since the bulk of the sound is directed towards the back of the bike; and it's the front that would make the most use of it (left turn in front of you, run-over merge, etc).

Remember, not everyone lives near a city center...
Unless you optioned $15k carbon ceramics (which last 3x as long), the standard brake pads don't run much more expensive than other cars ($100-200 per pair). Rotors might cost $500/pair, but you're not replacing them as frequently as tires.

$200+/tire still costs more than brakes and need to be changed much more frequently.
As a fellow commuting cyclist, I find that the most effective "tool", by far, is constant awareness, and a significantly reduced faith in humanity.

I assume that everyone is distracted and not paying attention to what they're doing, and that informs my "riding rules": Try to make eye contact, don't assume you've been seen. Never be in the blind spot. Never pass on the right. Cross on a red light to get ahead of the pack of cars.
