The backlog may be down but I’m with the GP that this was probably pent-up demand. I would expect another jump when (if) the fabled $30,000 model comes out.

But can they keep up this level of demand for two years? Three years? I’m not so sure.

Only time will tell.

My only experience with CORS has been when trying to access api.foo.com from a web page on foo.com, and then getting denied. Then I messed with the settings on api.foo.com trying to get it to allow access from foo.com, and then I gave up and just configured the load balancer on foo.com to proxy requests to foo.com/api to api.foo.com.

So far it's only gotten in my way as a developer. But it's there to protect users, not me. So at the end of the day, I'm glad it's there as a way to somewhat prevent people from tricking my users into hitting my api with malicious requests.
There is at least a 2 month wait for certain options. White interior, dual motor, red. Source is myself.
Does that make the account no longer valid? His problem is not "lazy union members," he has folks he thinks are getting screwed over that he would fight for a promotion for.
the power of a union is the ability of its workers to withhold labor. this would make unions ineffective and I'm not sure what the upside is other than an aversion to monopolies.
Why Apple chooses thin devices over longer battery life
Many people who were born after the flood are listed in the Bible as living longer than 120 years. It's just not a very internally consistent book (probably because it has multiple authors).

Edit: I was wrong about the part below.

As for it being 120 years until the flood, if my memory serves me right, that passage is clearly after the flood (and as a reaction to the 'wickedness' before the flood).
For projects where an estimate is very important (not pointing every story in a sprint), I will do an 80% confidence bounds where on one end everything goes perfectly, and the other where everything goes horribly wrong. For both, it should only be outside the particular bound in 10% of possible worlds. Then I take the geometric mean of the two values.

This has worked with pretty good consistency in the past. I believe that a good deal of the value comes from factoring in the estimate where everything goes wrong. You can also then specifically work to prevent the things you’ve thought about going wrong from occurring.

I think the multiple employer comes from having multiple employers in the marketplace for a given profession, the logic being that an employer should not be restricted to a single union just as a union should not be restricted to a single employer.

It’s not a “recreational vehicle”, and people said the same thing about the Roadster, Model S, and Model X. They’ll still be saying it when Tesla is selling $1000 electric scooters: “Not everyone can afford a thousand dollars for a toy motorcycle!”
That assumes that every car in Denmark will consume 50kwh per day. The 64kw Kona Electric will do 300 miles according to the WLTP [1]. So, that assumes every car does 234 miles every day, or over 85k miles per year.

I can't find any solid data, but I'd assume its closer to 10k miles per year, or an eighth of what you're suggesting. That is still a lot, but it is achievable especially with more offshore wind.

Completely wrong. Rent a Model 3 for a single day and you'll see exactly why. The product really does speak for itself, similar to how the first iPhone spoke for itself despite some shortcomings.

If you've tried a Model 3 for a day and you still hold the same opinion you presented here, I concede my point - but I really think you have to experience it to know why there is a lot of hype around the car. The hype is justified, surprisingly so.

After the new interface was brought out, I found that the most jarring thing was how the left-hand-side menu collapsed down left to a set of meaningless icons, then when you hovered over it, it expanded right to cover important details of the actual emails.

Either I disabled it using some obscure setting or Google fixed it within a few days. I wonder if they knew people weren't going to like the update, and intentionally added temporary extra annoyances with the goal of acclimatizing users to the smaller and more profitable annoyance of the "AI" autocomplete and autorespond. The cynicism comes from having been a Facebook user.

Thank you.I am just collecting information and data and general trends now. And I am noting down what fails and what has succeeded. I feel like this might take longer but I am not failing on my dime. Perhaps that’s a good thing because I would have never thought about IoT or blockchain 4 years ago, but now I see how it can be implemented under the umbrella of Agtech. We need an ecosystem of sorts. And we need to be able to scale up as well as down. And we need solutions for 30 years down the line. One thing I find striking is that tech coming out is solving problems of today. But what good is that? I want to be able to predict how land availability and lack of water or climate change or labour shortage will affect me in the future so I can get ahead with a method that will eventually merge with the future painlessly. But I have also met some very helpful people in the industry who are more than happy to share or at least hear me out. There is enormous value in having people from other disciplines and others who are not farmers to be sounding board. I also know that including us has some value. By ‘us’, I mean smallholder farm operators and the farm workers. In big industrialized farms, it’s already mechanized and it’s just one step away from automation. They pain point is availability of labour.(and to a certain extent, regulation in California..dont know about other states) But in smaller farms, we are talking the difference between breaking even and loss. Especially if we are organic because we don’t spray and can’t have huge machinery. And labour is our biggest cost. Not availability of labour, but the cost of labour. Small scale farm bots are needed. They can scale. Massive autonomous tractors meant to 1000 acres of corn and soy is useless to us. I feel a kinship with the Lilliputian scale of indoor farming. I get it. I am also inspired by it. But outside, we got sunshine. And it’s free. Nothing is cheaper than free!

> Monopolies suck both when it comes to corporations and the workforce.

Agree with the idea, but in pracice every employee can just pack their baga and go to another other company. If enough employees do that, then companies sooner or later have to change, or remain with the worst of the workforce. There is monopoly on employment.

Aside from the philosophical objections to this model, think about the practical issues that arise, specifically regarding overhead. Unions are notorious for having well-paid administrative staff and leadership, and that does not scale with three or four separate unions. You end up with a net drain even if you were able to eke out some slight pay advantage.

It can work, but the part that is missing from most people's thoughts is the amount of self-sufficiency you need outside of farming to live such a life style. You certainly aren't going to make a lot of money doing such a thing, but you will make some if you pick the right crops. However to be able to afford everything you need you will need additional tools and skills. You won't be able to afford getting your house roofed or your tractor repaired by somebody else, you will be roofing your own shit, fixing your own tractor, you are going to want to be canning or preserving a lot of your own foods, you might need to switch to wood heat and cut your own fire wood or otherwise have a MUCH smaller house, fix and maintain your own tools and equipment, ect.

If you can do all that, it is a good sustainable life, but if the most you can do is grow some garden crops and shit, you will not be able to afford the service costs of everything else you need to survive. You won't be able to sell some tomatoes and afford all the same services as before, especially out int he country where land is cheap. It takes a lot of fuel to get in and out of the areas where land is cheap enough to do any of that also.

That passage is before the flood. Flood planning starts just after.

I don't remember anyone living hundreds of years in the Bible after that proclamation (unless they were already alive, like Noah) but you might be right. I see Jacob was apparently 130 or older and that was later on. Is there anyone who lived a really long time that was born after Genesis 6:3? Seems like a good place to spot an obvious "plot hole".

Chinese Government Pushing Back Against Free Enterprise
You do have multiple employers, and a single union can represent workers across an industry, not just at 1 employer. Having multiple unions would remove the monopoly power unions enjoy, but a triopoly is still pretty powerfull, and reduces the risk of corruption.

Of course, if the triopoly was enforced by statute, then a corrupt member could act with impunity knowing that it cannot loose too much of its power.

“Based on a statistical analysis of 740 of the brightest supernovas discovered as of 2014, and the fact that none of them appear to be magnified or brightened by hidden black hole "gravitational lenses," the researchers concluded that primordial black holes can make up no more than about 40 percent of the dark matter in the universe. Primordial black holes could only have been created within the first milliseconds of the Big Bang as regions of the universe with a concentrated mass tens or hundreds of times that of the sun collapsed into objects a hundred kilometers across.”

“An as-yet unpublished reanalysis by the same team using an updated list of 1,048 supernovas cuts the limit in half, to a maximum of about 23 percent, further slamming the door on the dark matter-black hole proposal.”

They use the term manager for lots of roles that don't actually have any management function. I worked on a team within Verizon that had ~40 people, all of whom were considered managers, even though none of us, other than the two actual managers, had any people under us.

if unions were not actively trying to sabotage their own companies most of the time, maybe the sentiment would be different. There are several cases when unions actively push to destroy companies just to get short term benefits.
This is kind of like the reports I see every so often to Django's security address, where someone demonstrates that they can CSRF their own session.

The reply is always "yes, you can CSRF yourself, because it's not supposed to protect against that; it's supposed to protect you from other people". In exactly the same way, CORS is there to protect you from other people. You can always hack your own user-agent to disregard CORS, but the only person you can harm that way is yourself.

Partially trust, but also because SRE is a specialized role with specialized tools and a specialized skillset. (And a slightly different mindset from regular engineers - SREs are very attuned to "what can go wrong?", while engineers are supposed to be attuned to "what can go right?".) You need to be more conversant with the high-level details of how the system operates (eg. which binaries are run, what are their resource requirements, what are common failure modes, what can cause cascading failures, when is everything deployed), and much less conversant with the details of how a particular piece of code runs, since the default action when it breaks is just "shut it off and let the engineer debug". Plus SREs are paid more (because they have on-call hours), so it wouldn't really save Google any money to have any every engineer act as a potential SRE.

That said, when I was there many teams of smaller, riskier, or less critical services actually did have engineers carry the pager, sometimes with reduced SLAs (and an interlock built into the code so that an outage in their service wouldn't eg. take down websearch).

> but in pracice every employee can just pack their baga and go to another other company

Maybe you don't live in America, or maybe you grew up with lots of privilege, but in reality, not a lot of people can do this. If you pack your bags and leave, you need to have some way to feed yourself, clothe yourself, and get health care, which is most likely provided by your employer.

The people who have the least ability to do these things without a job are also the ones who are most exploited.

Of course, universal health care and a universal income would solve these problems...
Not everyone has the luxury to just switch jobs. A large portion of the population has very few job options so they get exploited by employers who know they don't really have other options.
If you read the article, it explains that the shortcut does more than just start recording.

Do Not Be Alarmed by the Test of the Presidential Alert Text Message System
Tech companies are not replacing management. Tech companies are replacing boots on the ground labourers and farm workers like me with bots.

My website is a placeholder. I don’t have time to update things on social media amidst farmwork. I might during winter when cover crops are in.

Large scale commercial growers can be partners, but are you saying small scale farmers don’t deserve the benefits of robotic technology and stuff that would help us make more profit without repetitive manual labour? This is exactly the sentiment that I sensed with tech people in Silicon Valley. That there is no value to saving heirloom varieties or using conservation techniques to protect soil and environment. Our small scale gives us room to grow varieties and food of the different people from all over. Fertilizers leach. Tillage destroys soil structure. Massive soil disruption gets rid of soil microbiome. Large scale commercial producers are important but local food is important too. That’s my opinion anyways.

You are way off Mark when you say I take things overly emotional /personal. But I am not going to challenge you. It’s your opinion and you are entitled to it. Have a nice day.

You'd have to survey their customers.

Speaking personally, my wife and I are new customers. This is the first time that we've spent over $30k on a car.

Between rebates, the cost of gas, and reductions in maintenance costs, we think that we save somewhere between 1/3 to 1/2 on the lifetime cost of ownership over the life of this car versus an ICE car. It is still a luxury, but between features like the driving assist, crash safety ratings, acceleration and so on, we are happy to spend it.

Based on data for other models from other drivers, we have reason to believe that, barring accidents, the battery could realistically last us 500k miles. But we have set it to never charge over 80% of capacity to maximize that limit.
Tesla got money from California (effectively) for selling no emissions credits to other car companies. Other companies could have made evs too, they were just against it, except Nissan which also benfitted for this with the leaf. The 7500 tax credits for buying large battery sized evs helped Tesla too, but people got credits for butingbmw i3, Nissan leaf, gm volt gm bolt. It served a purpose which was to help know kick off a new market and it's being deducted to half in 2019 based on sales over 200k cars.

Only 2 us car companies didn't go bankrupt in the recession in in 2009, Ford and Tesla. Ford and Tesla both got govt loans to design evs, only Tesla had finished paying theirs back.
