That the US Dealers already know that electric cars will hurt their service revenue.

They realize that have a monopoly on auto sales and won't willingly give any revenue stream.
Thank you for the encouragement.

Indeed I wanted to capture the shortcomings correctly, because I truly believe in the power of the community to solve them. Looking at this thread, I feel my summary is largely validated.

We've been working to solve those, and we'll step up even more so. Exciting times!!
The Silicon Graphics crew did like their case mods. Adding to the list: a demo team had a deskside O2K with a top air-intake and side exhaust pipes like a dragster engine.
Every one of these reads like all those old 'next iPhone killer' headlines.

Elon's publicly stated goal was driving more EV adoption whether it is Tesla or others and he's most definitely succeeded at that.

That being said, there is far more to Tesla's than just being an EV at this point and that won't be killed anytime soon!

It's a start, at least. I still use uBlock Origin until Chrome gets their game together with ad blocking.
Most of the other comments have explained it, but I'll also point out that in many developing countries or ones that have recent crashes in their economy, their unofficial-official currency is the US Dollar or, less commonly, the Euro.

USD and EUR are often stand-ins for the country's currency for various reasons. This leads to devaluing of the currency and eventually laws on money exchanging and import of other currency (see also: China).
I'd like to see more sportsmanship between browsers (not just Chrome). As an example “Search for a website in your Omnibox and Chrome will tell you if it’s already open and let you jump straight to it with “Switch to tab [a good idea we took from Browser X].” (here Firefox, as far as I know)

You probably need to fix this, or at least clarify? Is it a yearly sum or one-time payment?
I trust Mozilla and have zero trust in Google. But I just switched back to Chrome after an experiment with Firefox. It’s just too much of a resource hog vs Chrome. Hopefully they sort that out soon.
for density in cities to increase, more public transport is simply needed.

Cars are a terrible way to get around in a crowded city. The city is far too dense to drive easily, cars take up way too much precious space and are huge increasers of smog.

In germany and other european cities, they already started banning diesel and other high pollution vechiles from entering major city centers because of both smog and congestion issues.

This kind of ruling will only increase.
No, it's based on people (understandably) not ranking car maintenance high on the list of things they worry about in the dark hours of the morning. So it's easier to just look at the odo, rather than ask the customer who is just going to (knowingly or otherwise) lie to you anyway.
I thought Chrome was supposed to be getting an ad blocker? Whatever happened to that?
I also have a normal bike bell that works fine on pedestrians and other cyclists. I never use an air horn on a pedestrian unless there's no other way to get them out of the way in time.

The one time I horned a pedestrian that comes to mind was like that. This guy was walking distracted and he decided to come off the sidewalk and directly into the bike lane without looking perhaps 20-30 feet in front of me. I was traveling around 15 to 20 mph. I hit the brakes hard but immediately knew I would still hit him unless he jumped out of the way. That's where the air horn came in. He jumped out of the way. No harm to him aside from perhaps some temporary tinnitus. Horn use was unavoidable in my view.
Yes, seems Google just suddenly changed their design language within the last 18 months into a strange rounded-material style for no real reason. And it doesn't look good at all to me.

I think that's 'unfortunately', and I think that such updates should require the movement of a switch or jumper to be activated. Obviously the 'hands off' and 'lights out' trends in the datacenter make such a requirement a non-starter but from a security perspective it would make good sense.

Perhaps as Musk gets further down the road of actually being a car manufacturer his thoughts will change, but he should welcome this. He gave out the patents freely so that more competition would come, he wants the electric car market as a whole to improve.

That said I can't say I'm overwhelmed by this. I think both Tesla and to a lesser extent the Nissan leaf have better concepts. The I-pace, EQC, e-tron all still sound like geek gimmicks. Tesla and Nissan have built great cars that happen to be electric.
You can program an FPGA to work like a microprocessor, or pretty much any other digital circuit that fits. They are great for teaching students about computers and hardware design languages.

Most FPGAs are essentially grids of little devices which are programmed to map a certain input pattern to a certain output pattern. Like, 0000 -> 0101, 0101 -> 1111. They emulate logic gates. When you program an FPGA, you are both programming these maps, and setting the connections between them.

(Note: efficient means processing power / electrical power)

ASICs, on the other hand, are custom-built ICs which are designed to very efficiently perform one task, like performing SHA hashes or h.264 decoding.

FPGAs can be more efficient than full-fledged processors because they can make use of custom combinational (combinations of gates) logic along with sequential (clocked) logic. ASICs can be more efficient than FPGAs.

Essentially, there's a tradeoff between development cost, unit cost, efficiency, and flexibility.

flexibility development cost unit cost efficiency
processor ++ ++ - -
FPGA + + -- +
ASIC -- -- ++ ++
Apple has been selling products that costs more than its competitors for well over 40 years.

It also probably makes a larger profit on Macs than Amazon does in total.
well educational institutions are getting close to extracting most of their ROI from education. if education costs a million dollars, it might make sense for many to just invest the money, and skip the education and career, and go straight to retirement.
Depending on which page boundary, increasingly severe exceptions will be raised, but it is typical for an OS to service those exceptions by performing the operation and jumping back into the code… maintaining the illusion that it worked.

This is what happened to all unaligned accesses in the PowerPC 601 -> 603e transition in ~1995. Game developers writing their own “optimized” blit code suddenly found that every single unaligned access on the 603 would succeed, but it would go through an ISR to get there!

I feel for these kind of routines, either write it in dumb, straightforward C code and just use -O2 or -Os, or make an assembler version—possibly just a saved copy of the compiler’s output, but that’s enough to completely kill any interprocedural optimization. Trying to write ultra-optimized C code gives me a bit of a headache, unless it’s something that you can express straightforwardly as SSE intrinsics or something like that. You end up going through contortions to satisfy constraints imposed by the language which aren’t imposed by the machine.

> It's assuming "size" is >= 20 and is a multiple of 4. That might be true for all valid headers, but at least in this snippet, there's no comment or anything stating the precondition that callers ensure the headers are valid. That's a(nother) bug.

That’s too much of a reach to call it a bug. The IP header’s size is measured in multiples of 4 bytes, there is simply no way to encode a header which is not a multiple of 4 bytes. It becomes a question of how gracefully you want to handle true garbage being passed into the function… at best this is a matter of style. Should strlen() call assert(p!=NULL)? These days with asan, I’m not so sure that writing these assert() is the best way to spend my time.
The Internet made copyable content essentially worthless, and we don't have an answer for it yet. If you really want to solve this problem (ultra-bloated web sites because of ad frameworks and what-not), you have to solve that, and it's pretty hard. Honestly, it's probably the case that the only way to really fix it is to nationalize it and fund it with taxes. Not ideal (conflict of interest, obviously), but it's probably better than not existing.
This is a pretty personal opinion so feel free to disagree but Mac OS X era Apple seemed to have the same air of Unix cool as Silicon Graphics, Sun or NexT back in the day.

It was probably never true but they gave the illusion of caring intensely about making delightful products.

All that changed when Apple's market interests shifted to larger, more lucrative consumer markets. Now things like good emoji support are more important that keyboard shortcuts for window management.

Apple is doing exactly what they should for their shareholders, I guess, but since they've gone all "Barney the Dinosaur" they just doesn't have the magic anymore for me. :(

Now their stuff just feels like dodgy "smart" TVs full of janky animations and features you know some exec thought was cool for a day.

If Apple was still Apple they'd be able to make announcements at their keynotes about fundamental stuff missing from macOS like, say, package management and make it sound cool. The magic is that they'd get non-nerds to care about it too.

Interesting! with a few flaws. Out of order quoting:

> An Anycast TCP system can be achieved without any modifications to the TCP protocol.

Yet he describes a system that requires modification.

> With protocols that support redirects (like HTTP) ... use the initial anycast connection to determine which site is closest to the client and then send a redirect instructing the client to connect to a unicast address

> QUIC packets returned from the server to include a unicast address

These techniques already exist, patented by Google. It's not dissimilar from anycast in ATM networks, which is where I believe anycast originated.

> Experiments with Anycast DNS show that in 99%+ cases Anycast devolves to unicast.

Too bad he doesn't say what experiments, but also he should have analyzed from this that the primary (and only practical?) use of anycast is for wide area gslb and HA. So let's not talk about toy implementations and lets talk only about true global scale impact.

At this scale, he fails to acknowledge the difficult of sharing state globally. He should make more of a point that only connections which exceed a the high water mark within their local sequence number space need to have the ownership info flooded. He needs to comment on the need for authentication of this data (otherwise you have the makings of a synflood-like attack). He fails to recognize the difficulty of draining connections and bringing up new nodes, while others still operate and may have to have their sequence number space re-partitioned.

It's too bad he doesn't discuss how well (or poorly) this could be handled with client-side support (like http redirects, but at the TCP layer). Whilst his approach does require stack changes, at least it's only server side.

He seems to think that DSR (as implemented by LVS in his example) performs better than than termination by the load balancer. He's off on his knowledge by 5 years if not a decade.
Not an API, but the documentation for Haskell libraries is unbelievably good. Here's an example[1]. This documentation is generated automatically from source code, optionally decorated with comments using a simple syntax called Haddock[2]. Any package, whether it's built into the Haskell Platform or contributed by a user, has the same kind of documentation. Even if the author includes no Haddock comments, the documentation will include the type signatures, the hyperlinking, the instance lists, and other goodies like the minimal set of functions needed to define an instance of a class.

How the once-proud Kenmore brand ended up on the scrap heap
And I understand it's illegal to drive with a non-functional headlight, so you can't use the car for the whole time, or at least part of the time?

In many (all?) U. S. states, your headlights must be functional at all times. IOW, if you have an obviously non-functioning headlight, you can be pulled over at noon on the summer solstice. Don't plan on being out after dark? Many states require you have lights on in the rain. Or that matter, can you guarantee you won't be caught out after dark?

So, in summary, by the law of many states the Tesla would be unusable for that year.
Tesla model S also have common issues with door handles breaking.
My biggest fear of driving a modern car is pedestrians and cyclists hiding in the think A pillar when turning. I am also doing the bob and weave like a prize boxer to make sure things don't escape my vision. I'd much rather run into another car than a pedestrian since at least vehicle collisions are a fair fight.

I'm so much more comfortable when I drive my vintage car. The greenhouse is massive, so you can see everything without even turning your head. I also drive that car much more consciously since it requires real effort. The trade off is if I ever run into anything I'm under no illusions about the safety it provides (which is none)

I can't wait for A pillars that are screens so they become invisible.
Definitely not if you have the right of way. I do the same thing when I'm driving and I see a car creeping forward to making a right turn as I approach the intersection.
This is just ... outlandish. You couldn't make this shit up with a straight face.
Nothing? Ever heard of the US DOD (Department of Defense)? It has many branches, each of which is full of 18-22 year old volunteers, who are getting paid to do exactly the 3 bullets you mentioned. The key difference is they are getting paid vs. having to pay...and, they get that experience in numerous cities/towns over the course of 4 years. Some branches are more like the college life than others (USAF, from my experience).

Granted it's not an apples to apples comparison here, but there are less expensive and more efficient ways (Peace Corp as well) of getting that experience. Universities are (should be) for those that enjoy learning or must have that 4 year certificate for the field there interested in working in.
Then you got reamed on your insurance for a 10 year old BMW -- full coverage on a similarly aged BMW for me is less than $50/mo. So no, that isn't "literally fake news" just because not everyone has the same insurance as you. My point being, just because you don't experience something doesn't make it fake news when other people do.
And it doesn’t work! It breaks on several websites I use routinely (e.g. my credit union). As far as I can tell, browser password management is a dirty hack. There is no real “login API” that could be used to build a proper password manager.
We're all in this together. You can support parental leave and also advocate for other types of family leave. Not only are they not mutually exclusive, stronger parental leave norms will probably make other types of leave more acceptable.

Sure, it's clear that all of the games that I and others mentioned were not created by TenCent. Again, that's something that takes about 1 minute to discover on Wikipedia. But you moved the goalposts. Nobody upthread asked if Tencent had independently created any games. You are the first person to mention that. Why move the goalposts?

Seriously, this is Hacker News; most commenters here have at least some understanding of the nature of corporations. If you don't understand how companies work, at this ultra-fundamental level, and you think "how is it possible that this 'gaming company' can be worth half a trillion US dollars, but I've never heard of them", and it doesn't immediately occur to you that they're probably not really making the games themselves, and yet you're still curious enough to post the comment that quantitative posted, then you would be very much benefited by going and reading the entire Tencent article, top to bottom, and now you'd know something useful about how the world works.

I agree with you that Tencent appears to be primarily an investment-oriented holding conglomorate. I might even say that:

Tencent Holdings Limited (Chinese: 腾讯控股有限公司; pinyin: Téngxùn Kònggǔ Yǒuxiàn Gōngsī) is a Chinese multinational investment holding conglomerate founded in 1998, whose subsidiaries specialise in various Internet-related services and products, entertainment, artificial intelligence and technology both in China and globally.[3]
as far as i know the setup as it is done in the US does not exist in (most) EU countries.

But let's not forget owning a car in europe is vastly more expensive and also far less needed for a lot of people. (especially those living in large cities with public transportation).

Im in my mid twenties and don't own a car, neither do most of my peers.

The ones who do all buy older, second or third hand vechicles which are easier to maintain and also cheaper. (toyota/volvo for instance). Most people seem to be mostly concerned with the primary function of a car, which is getting someone from A to B. Other functions seem to be less "useful" for most people i know.

Also, driving distances are vastly shorter for a majority of europeans.

Luxury cars seem to be mainly gained by using either a private lease contract or getting one on a company's expanse for bussiness purposes.
I doubt anyone gives a toss if Chrome is having a "10th birthday" except Google.

Never liked how this browser forces updates down your throat including "new looks" without any choice. Feels like software I have zero control over, if every time I open it, a new version of itself downloads and installs without my permission. Google enjoys forcing itself on users regularly without consent. Which is creepy when put like that.
> people that refuse to drive over the speed limit even a little

The nerve! Personally, I like riding my bike and sharing the road with people who aren't driving as fast as possible. There are still plenty of idiots driving, but at least they're driving a bit slower than where I grew up (deep South).
I did. It's a trade-off I was willing to make.
Macrostax Project Rescue
other cars ($100-200 per pair)

The last time I had brakes done, it was $80 for the back pair (about a year ago), and $120 for the front pair (about six months ago). And that was at a dealership, with tax and labor.

$100-200/pair doesn't sound average to me.
But it could by treated equivalently in many cases. The standard, after all, imposes no restrictions. It might not explicitly say that the implementation could behave like that - I don't know what phrase would work - "a documented manner characteristic of the platform", something like that - but by imposing no restriction it leaves the option open.

Which is a large part of why people complain.

> And this drives insurance costs through the roof

One bit of anecdata: full coverage on my 2017 Model S 100D (all options except performance) is only slightly higher than full coverage on the car it replaced: a 2014 Prius C with no options.

I was bracing for the worst, Re: insurance, but (I'm with Geico) the rate is...in my mind at least, very low. Perhaps they're factoring in all of the built-in safety features?

I'd rather not say where I live (even though I love my city and really do want you to move here), but I can tell you how to find similar cities. Pick a mid-size Midwestern metro area (say, Madison Wisconsin), then do a Google search for "best suburbs around Madison Wisconsin". I see a site like niche.com and click on it. I know the first few results are likely to be the most expensive places to live, so if my budget is high those are where I'm going. I might go down into to 5-10 range if I'm looking for a more budget-friendly place. Now I'm looking at Oregon, WI, which is about 15 miles from downtown Madison. Bringing it up in Google Maps, looks like there's a bike trail that will take me all the way into Madison without having to ride on the road? Score. Zillow shows housing prices around $150-$300k, great. Yelp shows a coffee house and a couple of tasty looking restaurants. Doesn't seem to be any local breweries, but oh well.

I'll also check out Verona, another well rated suburb. Looks to be a bit more expensive in housing, but also more local food options. Again a solid bike trail into the big city. Monona might be a little too close to the big city. Sun Prairie might be a little too far away. Disclaimer, I've never lived in any of those cities, so this is all based on just 5 minutes worth of Internet research. YMMV.

We got lucky when we settled down in that we knew what state we wanted to live in and what metro area we wanted to be around. From there it was just trying to find a bedroom community with a good solid downtown. Most suburbs close to the city won't have a downtown (they're more like residential areas), so it really narrows your choices a lot. I like using Google Maps to find area bike trails and bike lanes, which helps show how seriously a town/area takes bike safety and their overall attitude towards bikers/pedestrians.

Hopefully that helps.
