This. Ford makes 1.6 million cars (worldwide) per quarter. Tesla, while impressive, cannot keep up when someone else enters their market segment.

If tomorrow Ford/Chevy/Toyota announces a model 3 like car for 2020 release with something close to the 3's specs, Tesla is dead unless they can pull a rabbit out of their hat. Tesla can do what- 350k to 400k cars a year based on current numbers? The big players can do that in weeks.

I think there is some merit to the point about batteries- Tesla has a supply chain in place for that while everyone else is going to be fighting on the open market (as far as I know).
Now they're going from $7.25 with medicaid, to $15/hr with no health insurance and no subsidies. The $15/hr middle is rough.
the cost of power is a political mismanagement unrelated to our minimum wage
That's a ridiculously cynical way to view it. First, utility does not scale linearly with income. Second, this allows for greater economic efficiency, because fewer people will be caught in bad situations with an insurmountable hurdle to get out.

If you want to maintain your relative wealth, feudal times are great. The rest of us would rather increase absolute wealth.

Why wouldn't I? It seems to be a pretty solid FOSS Firewall solution from what I've experienced.

I never really saw a reason not to do it.
We don't know how much of that he got to keep. The company raised $50 Million from investors (who need to get repaid), and there were other co-founders involved.

He said $6000 was "not a drop in the bucket" for him, so I guess he didn't get much of that.

Arguably we don't have machines that are made in the image of a human brain, so that wouldn't change things right now.
Star Trek: The Next Generation referred to data sizes as "quads", which has the advantage that it has actually future-proofed the series a bit. It's fairly clear that whatever a "quad" is, it isn't just two bits smashed together, but what it is? Who knows.
One alternative would be to define an ABI for using the x86-64 processor with 32-bit pointers. This would let everyone leave the processor in the more modern 64-bit mode without increasing pressure on the memory subsystem.

Such a thing exists:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X32_ABI

It's been available in the mainline Linux kernel and in glibc for ages. It also breaks any code which assumes #ifdef __x86_64__ means 64-bit pointers, and the concept doesn't seem to attract a lot of excitement:

Could you elaborate more about how pfsense doesn't like just /64? As someone who ordered a Hetzner server from them a couple of days ago after a hefty price increase from my current provider this concerns me - getting IPv6 working through pfsense and into machines behind it is the next tech project I have on my list!
I get that, but there are no guarantees it is write-once, because it might happen that the "quorum of signatures" changes their mind.
In fact, we do have an explanation for it - its called quantum theory and it explains and predicts not only the double slit experiment but many other much more complicated phenomena.

I'm a designer and developer creating user

One of my works was featured on Brutalist Websites, another in the WordPress.org theme store.

I'm looking to design and develop emerging websites with new aesthetics.
You can try Nomad. It's almost stupidly easy to setup and as long as you're comfortable in a command line- easy to hit the ground running.

The one downside is that it doesn't have a feature complete UI and there arn't any good ones out there that do what the Kubernetes webui does.
"UBS says Audi's new electric car shows industry has a long way to go to catch Tesla"

Its not as easy as they thought.
I think the point is that many people aren’t worth $15/hour. Having a well-stocked grocery store is worth $15/hour if the person doing the job is fast. But slower stockers may lose their jobs altogether.

Most companies I’ve worked at have had mailrooms. Very few have had people actually working in them. Which tells me that when the buildings were designed, the mailroom was considered valuable enough to include in the floor plan, but before I was hired, it stopped being valuable enough to staff. It’s worth something, but many companies apparently think it isn’t worth $7.25/hour.
> $15 an hour will push a lot of people out of being employable.

On the other hand, isn't it illogical in a free market economy that wages do not increase at a rate at least equal to the inflation? How do you keep the economy running if people have less and less purchase power as time goes by? (These are genuine questions, I'm not an economist at all.)
Yeah, but your examples (TI Basic, Pico8) all imply that a first programming language has to follow a procedural style.

There's no reason whatsoever it should be so. I knew some odds and ends before college but had my introduction to programming with a SICP-like (but much simpler, I wasn't a CS major at MIT) course in Scheme that was taught by the creator of Lua. Like SICP, it emphasized a "compositional", mostly functional style. The next course was data structures in C.

So of course, a "First Course in Programming with Python" will be nothing like a "First Course in Programming with ZX Basic" (which yeah, encouraged you to peek and poke into memory directly, etc). A "First Course in Programming with Haskell" will be even more different. But some may argue that those who have cut their teeth on Haskell are better prepared for anything.

At any rate -- Haskell is really difficult but Scheme was until recently pretty popular.

It's not clear to me that at the time the m68k was that much more expensive than x86. It certainly was not by 84/85 when the Atari ST was shipping as a sub-$1000 cheap home computer based around it.

I think the bigger compelling piece for x86 was its continuity with the top-selling 8080/Z80 CP/M machines that were the effective standard at the time. IBM offered both PC-DOS (cheap) and CP/M (expensive), and wasn't sure which was going to win out. And PC-DOS was basically a kind of clone of CP/M, down to the API call names.
I think the history of the internal politics at Microsoft in regards to .NET and also the external industry trends is fascinating.

The common thinking is that C# & .NET was a ripoff of Sun Java because of the "write once run anywhere" threat. That's sort of true but missing some nuance.

I'm not a MS insider but here's my understanding of what happened. We have to separate the C# language from the CLR runtime. In the 1990s, Microsoft was already researching how to enhance and extend the COM interoperability model. (Otherwise known as "how do we get multiple programming languages to talk to each other?")

Based on some old interviews with Don Box[1], instead of this work being productized and released as "COM+ version 3" or whatever, it morphed into the CLR. This was a natural evolution that would have happened even without Sun's JVM threat.

C# the language, on the other hand, was a more direct response to Java the language since Microsoft's J++ (Java clone) was abandoned because of Sun's lawsuit.

As for .NET, it's interesting that Microsoft always had this large internal group of programmers (mostly Windows kernel and Office teams) that didn't fully buy into the .NET vision. On the other hand, Bill Gates himself was a big believer in it. My pet theory is that since Bill Gates programmed in BASIC in the 1970s and not in low-level C/C++/assembly, he had a natural affinity for the vision of high-level C# & .NET being pervasive throughout Windows. Even with Bill's support, there was always an ongoing internal tension between the C++ vs the NET framework camps. (On a related note, it seems like Apple's internal programmers are more happily embracing Swift over Objective-C to a greater degree than Microsoft's internal adoption of C# over C++.)

Two major forces outside of Microsoft's control curtailed .NET's planned world dominance: (1) the rise of Javascript in the browser which negated .NET Silverlight, and also Java applets and Flash. (2) the rise of Apple iOS and Android.

.NET is still very popular but it definitely did not fulfill the more ambitious dreams that Bill Gates had for it.

(On a related note, I also wrote an old comment about the decline of .NET's WPF and its limited adoption: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14098832)

I see no reason this is going to cause fewer billionaires. Doesn't that assume it's all a zero sum game? Could you elaborate..
My guess would be that the intrinsic value of gold is declining as it has no much use outside of manufacturing and jewelry. Gold itself is a complex market heavily influenced by regulations and a few players. But I'm in no way an expert in it.
Why does anyone try to defend universities anymore? Why does anyone working at them think they can voice un-PC opinions? Other than maybe the university of Chicago, are there any that don't routinely punish academics for offending extremist women whilst still loudly proclaiming that they're bastions of free thinking and intellectual bravery? I can't think of any.

All I ever read about with respect to universities these days is incredible weakness. No matter how absurd or extreme the complaint, the administrators always fold. A terrible sign of the intellectual decay at heart of our civilisation.
This is pretty great news. Reducing bandwidth costs is definitely a good thing.

I've always wondered how people run their own (personal use or side project) services on bare metal or VPS providers manage them without spending too much time. I've found that trying to run even a few services and have a reasonable solution for backups, software updates, etc to take more time and effort than it seems is worthwhile, it makes Heroku and App Engine particularly appealing as a lot of the issues are kinda solved with managed cloud providers. I would love to hear how people make this work.
It’s not reality and it’s a logical contradiction. The question is to reason about how to reason things you do not have a direct experience with.
The minimum wage argument is about tipping the scales of business wealth distribution away from seniority and the business and into the pockets of those lowest on the totem pole.

This balances the scale of products developed and resources spent more towards low income people and away from aristocratic goods and services.

However, in the case of Amazon, a company already very low on margins and on theory of low incomes, this would result in higher costs from the market behemoth

> I think the problem is just the unreasonable demand to be in the Bay.

Having a utility function that favors certain conditions isn't unreasonable.

> Why would any company or their workers want to be in the bay?

Workers want it for climate, social, and cultural reasons, among others.

Companies want it because that's where the existing pool of workers is and many of them are resistant to leaving. (Also, for some of the same reasons, the VCs and people they want for their boards.)1

And just for completeness, Porsche "only" sold 55,000 cars in 2017. Tesla shipped 30%+ more automobiles in one quarter, yet there is debate about whether Tesla is a viable company and no-one is predicting the imminent demise of that tiny car company, Porsche.

> even foreclosed homes have some value.

Homes can go to zero. Homes can go to below zero, which is why there are land banks all across the Rust Belt with thousands of properties they have trouble giving away.

> On a subjective level, home owners have better finances, more say in guiding their communities, and many other advantages.

Of course, because we live in a society in which nearly everyone is convinced that it's better to own a house, so anybody with enough resources to own a house chooses to own a house. And because most of those folks have an even dimmer view of apartment-dwellers than you've displayed here, they use zoning to literally separate themselves from those lower classes, to fairly predictable outcomes.
Was anybody here in danger of thinking that?

Yes that's what is most annoying that many companies by default assume opt-in to their spying activity, despite GDPR regulation saying that all consents should be opt-out by default. As a result, after clicking on 21 pop-up and opting out suddenly I notice that I stop caring... so in this area it seems GDPR is effectively dead regulation.
If they do, I'd imagine it would be for the things that are necessary for what they want to provide but aren't necessary for what they want to do.

They want a nice, clean work environment for their employees. So you need janitors.

Want to provide catered lunch? You need food service workers.

And the bar for "good enough" at those levels are much lower. You don't need a 5-star lunch every day. You need a decent lunch that's better than going out. And things can only get so clean.

Are you saying your salary is based on keeping the working poor? OR are you saying you think corporations and their investors deserve a low wage workforce that the government will take care of with your tax dollars? I find no logical sense other then your mad that people can make money for WORKING.

When people make $15 an hour they will need less government assistance. This will take away from corporate's profits, which has gone through the roof without an salary bumps the last 40 years.
because shouting louder doesn't make you right.
Living wage: a wage sufficiently high that after paying taxes there is still enough left over for small family or individual to live off when all normal expenses are accounted for based on a workweek no longer than 40 hours in total.

That works out to $2400 gross per month (so before taxes) which if you can't recoup it from the work input says more about the company you are working for and their inability to capture value. Keep in mind that raising the wage across the bar will increase inflation but will level the wage disparity between 'smart' work and 'dumb' work.
High minimum wage doesn't hurt the "rich" it hurts everyone who's making just more than minimum all the way to the upper middle class because their cost of living either increases or their standard of living decreases.

The "rich" are rich enough that it's just a drop in the bucket.

Edit: I don't mean to say that minimum wage isn't worthwhile, just that framing it in terms of a rich to poor wealth transfer is somewhat dishonest.
None that I know of at least. If you can think of any, feel free to list them.
Probably not, but then again $300k is not a normal “liquid tech company” comp. It’s above average at a handful of outlier companies in a handful of locations.
