I am curious, is Tesla making a profit at this volume of sales or not. I did notice that the Atlanta delivery center was packed from end to end with model 3s in August but there were a few deliveries of S and X models as well. I am sure it is eating into those sales. I will also be curious if the standard range model will be available in numbers before the decked out version is sold in oversea markets.

personal experience follows.

I took delivery of my 3 on the 29th after ordering the 5th of August. I had no reservation nor was I a previous owner. The car was built in August though according to the VIN trackers the number was issued in July.

Overall quality is really good with only a few paint blemishes that were buffed out. Very slight alignment issue with the frunk but you have to look. Now I will admit this car has seriously changed my mind with regards to car interiors, I doubt I could ever go back to a traditional interior as they would feel cluttered. My previous car was a 2017 Chevrolet Volt and it sold me on driving EV.

I'm actually pretty convinced. I think the Party is basically fairly smart, and they are extremely aware of the threats to their rule.

For instance, after the first gulf war, they started extensive military reforms, presumably seeing how Saddam's gigantic, tank-heavy, cold-war era army fared against new technology, and seeing that the same could happen to them.

I think time and time again, they've moved very fast to neutralize threats - and as I see it, there are few that would be more pressing than general disillusionment, the normalization of graft and cynicism. It's this culture that really killed the USSR.

When nobody believes in your system, it doesn't matter how absolute your power is, or how utterly defeated your enemies are. Everybody in your administration will be essentially working for themselves, and stealing everything that isn't bolted down.

> Horses weren't banned to encourage a car industry to emerge, users gravitated towards cars until eventually horses were superfluous/a burden.

That only worked because the people making money from selling horses weren't the same people who developed cars.
Those things are much (MUCH) easier if you provide feedback on things you don't like instantly. He didn't commit something -- tell him. He did something in the way you don't find the best -- tell him. You think he's slow -- tell him right after you found out.

After a while if you decide that it won't work for both of you and things aren't improving, there should be already a good hint for the guy by that moment.

If you just hold everything without sharing with him, for sure that would be very hard to tell him your concerns.

Like apple. Way too hard to simply swallow. But it's ok to go bite after bite.
> Do you find it harder to enjoy movies?

Quite possibly. I do enjoy watching a movie on occasion, but there are many other things I would rather do with my time. It turns out that compared to most people, I don't watch many movies - I've seen well under 100 of the "IMDb Top 1000 Movies of All Time" [1].

I've never considered this to be related to music, but I guess it could be.

>>That's more data than most will use in a single day.

Not to take away anything from your point.

But I see plenty of cab drivers watch movies, youtube and use other services like Google maps.

But there are other inspiring stories. A few months back I saw a video of street flute seller who learned to play the flute through the internet. Here is one story of a Coolie who prepared for civil services exams using internet: https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/08051...

You will see plenty of stories where people are using internet to do something of value.
>the air quality in cities is bad

I'm all for reducing emissions.

Having said that, let's be frank about air quality having improved immensely over recent decades. Back before the (ICE and electric) cars became a thing, the inner city air and rivers were much more heavily polluted, by coal & wood heating, and outflow of untreated sewage. It's only thanks to significant surplus, provided by high efficiency, in turn provided by modern technology & science - including transportation - that we can invest heavily into actively (scrubbers) and passively (more involved, but cleaner processes) reducing pollution.

So yes, we want to reduce emissions, eventually doing away with most, or all, ICE and other oil consumers. But the technology necessary, and the required economic surplus, is pretty much provided and accelerated by the cheap and portable energy generators in cars and others, fueled & lubricated by petrol and other fossil fuels. Ditto smaller, lighter products made of plastics and other materials we currently manufacture partly off of crude oil.

Path dependence, let's consider the whole picture.
I'm guessing this one (with a slightly different title: Bridging the Communication Gap: Specification by Example and Agile Acceptance Testing) http://a.co/d/6tGlrUc
For years I've used the wiki I wrote. That has the feature that links are auto-created from free text, so if a pagename happens to turn up in the text anywhere, a link is made. This requires a little discipline - you don't want to create a page called "And".

But recently I've been experimenting with zim to see if I can use that instead. It saves pages in markdown in a directory structure, so my external scripts can be adapted to run over them and create the augmenting pages. It could possibly insert the free-text links as well in the background. Just an idle thought.

It's all running on my home machine, but I can connect to it from (nearly) anywhere. It's effectively unusable on my phone, so I have a staging area in which I make notes, and then transfer things later. The act of transferring implies a review of the material, and that's of value anyway, so it's not wasted effort.

For years, decades, I've been thinking of polishing, bundling, and releasing it, but it would be one of a gazillion organisation systems and no one would find it. If they did, I'd then be committed to supporting it, so that's not going to happen. I might, one day, convert these replies into a blog post, but again, limited value.
all stop losses do is create an order when a certain condition is met (e.g. last trade price is below X)

there's no guarantee it will be created immediately, execute at all, and if it creates a market order you might very well not like the price it does end up executing at
If the external costs could be put back onto the ones responsible for them, it would be OK. The problem is that now those industries are effectively subsidized by society.

If polluting industries would pay for my allergy medicines, my replacement lungs, my relocation costs due to rising sea levels, etc, hey, that'd great. Let them pollute and let the market sort it out (as it most certainly would, given the prices they'd have to charge to cover their enormous expenses). However, they do not. So I am (and you are) forced to subsidize them. Incidentally, I never voted for subsidizing pollution, so I guess my remaining option is to "artificially terminating" it.
In addition to this talk, I recommend watching a documentary, Beep, about how musician-programmers managed to compose meaningful sounds and music in memory constrained systems.

Veterans are fine but engineering moves on, as does medicine, the legal profession etc. What worked well before might work well this time, but it might not. Also, how do I know that a veteran's opinion is still valuable/value for money/technology appropriate etc.

The real issue is there is not 1 correct way to write software but although we are understanding programming more than ever, we are still not great at quantifying and describing the values or requirements that drive our choice of process or even our selection of the right supplier to write it for us.

We had a bad experience from a supplier, not because they were rubbish or lacked skillsets or ethics but because they were not a good fit for the type of product we were building.
It was a surprising language decision to find out that OCaml didn't do implement polymorphic behaviour for common operations and opted to stress static types for things like print_int or 1.0 +. 1.0...

I think you may be confused a bit here. Did you by any chance think that "Blue Cross of California Chair in Healthcare Finance" means that he holds a position at Blue Cross?

It doesn't. In 1994 Blue Cross gave $2.5 million to the University of Southern California to endow a chair. The way an endowed chair works is that donation is logically kept separate from the rest of the university's endowment, and the earnings from that separate endowment go toward the salary of whatever professor holds the chair. Other than having part (or all, depending on how much the endowment earns) of their pay come from that instead of from the general university budget there is little or no difference between a professor holding an endowed chair and one who does not. (Sometimes a donor might specify that there will be some extras, like funding for an assistant).

The donor has no involvement after the initial donation, other than their name is on the chair (well, not always their name...someone can endow a chair and name it after someone else) and the title of whoever holds it. In particular, the donor gets no financial leverage over the holder of the chair.

I have no idea where you got the American Medical Association connection from.
I don't think that's quite true. Every conclusion to any question could potentially benefit a business - it doesn't make it untrue. You just have to question the motivation of the report, is it unbiased? Do the conclusions follow? How wide is the scope of the report etc.

It doesn't seem unreasonable that most people should outsource work to a supplier who can specialise in something but it does not, of course, answer the questions about the skills required to manage the outsourcing in some cases. For things like payments, most people outsource anyway and the domain is relatively narrow so there aren't too many gotchas for most people.
And be prepared for complete surprise. I've been involved in situations where one would have thought it was incredibly and abundantly clear to everyone involved that things were absolutely not working out. (Without going into a lot of details, heavy and extensive rework in multiple passes of projects they were working on over months.) Yet, getting fired was apparently a complete bolt out of the blue.

(+) is an operator that takes 2 ints and produces an int

(+.) is the equivalent for floats: 1.0 +. 1.0

In short: if you need any operator for floats, and you know how to write it for ints, add a dot.

The reasoning is that it's hard to define the semantics of mixed expressions and explicit conversions clarify what needs to happen.
I get an uneasy feeling every time I hear it. It twists the situation around, like you said, to make it seem like they are doing a great benefit to the employee.

My all time favorite ridiculous doublespeak is "we reached out to the employee and let them go". I heard that once from a company's pr dept. after firing a worker due to some public scandal.

When I first came here 4 years ago I naively made some comments like I was on Reddit. My comments quickly got downvoted and I started putting more thought into my comments, only commenting when I had something interesting to say.

Good question. It's a different operator, +. (plus dot).
Reason's actual name is Reason ML, and is just a different syntax for regular OCaml.

Clean or Purescript or Haskell or Rust would be the closest you can get to the OCaml world without writing the word ML.
Nils are among the biggest wats in Go in my experience. "useful nils" just compounds "the billion dollar mistake" into something even more nefarious and even harder to identify during code review.

Along similar lines: WAT 15. Under what circumstances do you expect a nil var return to become non-nil? Did you even know that was possible?
Requiring electric cars won't kill car industry.

The cars will still be made. They'll still be bought. Making them will still require jobs.

You're doubling-down on a false premise that killing ICE cars means killing car industry.

Tesla makes only electric cars and employs 46 thousand people.

As Tesla shows, Mercedes, BMW, GM, Ford etc. could be making 10x more electric cars today and they would sell if they were any good.

So in the interest of keeping our planet fit for human living we should nudge them in the right direction. If company A can't be bothered, then company B will emerge to take its place.
> We care about industries such as this because they contribute massively to the public purse, provide stability to entire regions via employment, and make products that much of the world relies on right now.

Most of the world doesn't produce cars. Why should they care? They are still using cars, wasting their lives in traffic jams and dying early because of air pollution. Many of them will have to migrate because of climate change.

> Horses weren't banned to encourage a car industry to emerge, users gravitated towards cars until eventually horses were superfluous/a burden.

What does it change? Industry died. Societal costs were there. Nobody cared.
> Further on, the official definition using a limit claims that the "c->0" means "make c as small as possible".

Yeah.. I’m pretty sure the official definition of a limit says nothing like that.

Any definition of a limit that I’ve ever seen (official or not) has been careful to note that you cannot set c to 0, but only approach it (whether in mathematical terms or English).
This is what the Dunning-Kruger paper is about, that the mental tools of work and self evaluation are interconnected.
When vodafone bought Hutch a few years back (so they could enter the Indian market), I saw an interview with the Vodafone ceo. He made a interesting comment. He said one of the things that would come from the deal is Hutch would should Vodafone how to offer services so cheaply. At the time the average monthly spend per subscriber in india was about $2. A fraction of what it was in the UK. So India was always ahead of the developed world in terms of pricing. But Jiro has definitely taking it to another level by offering crazy amounts of data with accompanying fast speeds for a price many Indians can afford.

There are so many factors in play here. Government issues a contract for scanning and loading all the paperwork. Contractor wins contract (prime), he then hires sub-contractors to do the their work, which in return can hire some other sub-contractor. If you think about it from a requirement perspective, government asks for apples, by the time those requirements get triaged three levels deep, they get oranges. Government attitude for a shitty product delivered, you can still make juice out of the fruit we got. They still keep pumping yearly, millions of dollars for that same minimal viable product.

I for one find clean slate tech approach adopted by Reliance Jio in India very inspiring. IPv6 support from start which saves it tons of money for buying IPv4 addresses , similar to their decision to adopt native 4G LTE Volte from start that helps it save tons of bandwidth on voice compared to Legacy 2G , 3G voice options.
> Employers are not and should not be required to pay you for work you are not doing.

Most other developed countries seem to see that slightly differently. But ok, it is a stance you can discuss - however, it becomes enormously cynical when combined with the conservative aversion against welfare rights:

So you're pregnant or sick and happen to not have enough resources to live from savings for a few months. If neither the state nor the employers are obligated to help you, who exactly is?

Also, some people may not be aware that many countries have plenty of restrictions around layoffs, totally separate from the unions.

For example I work in a non-union company, and if I have children and you have none, you get laid off before I do. Regardless of who's "better" and who's been there longer. That's in Germany; I would assume, say, France and Spain have much stricter rules around layoffs.
I would highly recommend Jon Harrop's "OCaml for Scientists" if you're interested in learning OCaml. It's a really awesome book. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/products/ocaml_for_scientists/

You might want to try Elastic Beanstalk (AWS's platform as a service) in combination with Deploybot (https://deploybot.com/).

Deploybot will allow you to do "git push style" deploys similar to Heroku.

As a "not a devops guru" myself, this combination has served me very well in serving Rails and Sinatra apps.

Edit: If I were based in the the US (I'm in Australia) I would use Heroku. Unfortunately you can't get Heroku in an Australian DC without going on a crazy huge enterprise plan.
I disagree, Typescript has algebraic data types, conditional types, type inference, type guards, many or all of which are missing in Java. The class syntax is just another optional feature and it is possible to write quite functional / ocaml like code in typescript.

This is so weird to me. Twitter in most cases is what you make of it, if you want to hear from people you don't agree with, then you just have follow people you don't agree with and read what they say. It doesn't take long to curate a list of people who are not trolls.
