Google is not Yahoo. It never was. It's like a mad scientist, trying a lot of different things and then shutting them down if they don't work.

Quite sensibly. It seemed pretty shady to me to charge customers for a feature that wasn't delivered or legally approved or likely even finished.

I suspect they're finding the shipped hardware isn't enough to accomplish what they want with the necessary reliability. Elon has already hinted that shipped 3's will need a computer upgrade to support full self-driving. They are probably wisely backing off on guaranteeing full self-driving on hardware that hasn't been proven to succeed to specification.

Total speculation, but I'd bet a chocolate chip cookie that they'll find they need to make changes to the sensor array as well. (If I were designing this from scratch, I'd want a wide stereoscopic baseline between cameras for optical ranging. They have multiple cameras, but they are narrowly spaced, and may have fields of view that differ too much for stereoscopic fusion. I'd aim for "larger number of shittier/cheaper cameras.")
They've probably exhausted RWD demand backlog so I wouldn't be surprised if this was (initially)a software-limited long range battery, so that they can sell their RWD inventory.
That's honestly the main reason I'm still in my current job. I get plenty of idle time that I don't have to waste, and the pay (and benefits) are pretty good, even if I don't really like the job itself and the location.

But, I'm also really of the mind that I should still be productive with every moment of my life; at least in so far as "productive" means "making money". That's simply because I just want to retire ASAIP, regardless of age. When it comes down to it, though, it still seems like I love the idle time more, and always choose it when I can (which is great that I'm able to)
I believe the way that the program works is you can defer taxes from your original capital gains (and the cost basis gets increased so your deferred taxes are less than you would pay otherwise), reinvest them in an "opportunity zone", and not pay capital gains on your investment on the opportunity zone, if you hold it long enough

e.g. Bob bought Apple stock for $50 a share back in the day, and sells it for $200/share. He defers his taxes until 2026. Instead of paying capital gains tax on $150/share, the cost basis is adjusted by 15% so in addition to benefiting from the time value of money, future Bob will only be taxed on $142.50 of capital gains. Bob can buy a house in an "opportunity zone" (from scrolling around the embedded map, there's plenty of million dollar+ houses in these areas. There's also lots of sports teams and stadiums in these areas, so maybe Bob buys an NFL team or a parking lot next to their stadium), rent it out for 10 years, sell it, and not have to pay any capital gains tax on the appreciation. Definitely not a bad deal for him!
This article doesn't mention the large number of illegal immigrants in the United States. To what extend does this affect income inequality? A large supply of unskilled labor would tend to keep wages lower.

Maybe the US should keep the unskilled labor market tight(er) and then wages should rise.

I'm not advocating a wholesale increase in defense budget. There definitely is corruption and waste in there.

The point is that NATO members agreed in 2006 to spending 2% of their GDP equally and then didn't meet it. They agreed again in 2014 and the ball still hasn't budged.

Pledges are pledges. Whether it's a pledge to cut carbon and stop global warming or a pledge to chip in for the collective defense of everyone. Imagine if everyone decided to cut carbon and then it turned out to be all just hot air. If you don't honor your pledges it will hurt the any sort of future international effort.
Do you honestly think the biggest cost associated with this program is the sensors?

Red herring.

That's not in any way the meat of the article.

Here's the first paragraph:

> Americans are used to thinking that their nation is special. In many ways, it is: the U.S. has by far the most Nobel Prize winners, the largest defense expenditures (almost equal to the next 10 or so countries put together) and the most billionaires (twice as many as China, the closest competitor). But some examples of American Exceptionalism should not make us proud. By most accounts, the U.S. has the highest level of economic inequality among developed countries. It has the world's greatest per capita health expenditures yet the lowest life expectancy among comparable countries. It is also one of a few developed countries jostling for the dubious distinction of having the lowest measures of equality of opportunity.

Using the map in the article I was intrigued to discover that my home isn't in an 'opportunity zone' but if it were located 30 feet to the right it would be. That may explain why my neighborhood has been infested with signage for cash-up-front house sales (which I have been systematically removing).
Yes its more akin to a 1031 exchange, but opened up so that non-real estate capital gains are eligible.
The benefit is for investing capital gains into OZ's, not necessarily from selling assets that are in existing OZ's. So if you had a gain on your house (beyond the homeowner exclusion) you could potentially invest the remainder of that gain into an OZ project and get those benefits.

There are all sorts of stipulations you need to follow to qualify however - not all of which are fully in place yet from Treasury. We should be getting the first version of the regs as soon as tomorrow (imminent we've heard from folks in DC) and then we'll know more. Things like having to improve the basis of whatever you invest in by 100% within a 30 month period exist, so you can't just buy something in an OZ and park it, you have to actually do some improvement to what you purchase.

Federal incentives cut in half in January. If I am not mistaken, the order deadline for a guaranteed delivery before Jan 1 passed a few days ago. It is possibly misleading to incorporate the full $7500 savings into the price, because they may not be able to deliver your car soon enough for you to claim it-- and they know this.

Agree about the gas savings. That's totally low.

People don’t understand what they make and frequently report all sorts of wacky stuff.

I worked for an org that had a fixed pay scale and read some detailed survey data that included them. The top/bottom reports were bullshit.

People will report what they think their benefits are worth, won’t know their gross salary at all somehow, will deduct alimony, add 401k interest or just make shit up.
I'm on the East Coast, and I find that lots of stores have the user-facing terminals now. Either the are tablets that flip or turn, or they are a permanently outward-facing screen like the Square one. The latter type is definitely preferable.

> The consensus is to use inheritance of interfaces and use composition to implement the interfaces.

A consensus by the "maximization of boilerplate" rule.

Inheritance is the most powerful tool available at the OOP land. It's the one thing that FP languages still didn't replace with enough added advantages to make the OOP stuff look like a toy. So if you are programming in OOP while avoiding inheritance, you would be certainly better in another paradigm.

(And, of course, powerful tools are easy to misuse. That's no reason for forbidding them.)
I've made a variant of the "tailed plane" for years--its one of my favorites. What's interesting to note on that one, I don't generally throw it normally like other paper airplanes. Instead, I place the front of the plane facing my hand, with my index finger and ring finger on either side of the nose, and my middle finder inside the crease of the nose. Then you just do an overhand fling, loosening your fingers about 2/3rds of the way through he arc. All the folds at the nose, makes the nose heavy, so it turns around and flies nicely.

This won't affect it because it's a merchant setting. What you can do though is complain to management and let them know. They can easily turn of tipping or lower the pre-set tip amounts.

Thanks for making this resource available and giving it some exposure.
All of them except the UK, Poland, Estonia, and Greece. The ones that face credible threats are Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and to a lesser extent Norway. The Netherlands believes they are fighting a cyber war with Russia. Trump is correct when he says that the US is subsidizing European defense. The US does benefit from this but not in a direct monetary sense.
I really can't bring myself to buy a new car but this would be about the most enticing. Even if I were wealthy I would probably still buy used cars (and my hobby is racing so it is not as if I don't appreciate cars).
> Let's put the blame where it belongs: on the consumer. If there was a market demand for repairable products, companies would make them. It's not like Apple is using IP law to keep you from repairing an iPhone. If people wanted repairable products, there would be demand for them.

People make decisions along more than one axis. I'd say there's a demand, it's just that it's not prioritized the most highly.

And I don't think this can be blamed on consumers. Have you seen any marketing that touts repairability? Companies have judged that they profit by selling products that are less reliable and less reparable, since that means they can make more sales. I can't find the link now, but I read an article that explained that Whirlpool has a cleverly designed racket to sell unreliable, unrepairable products and keep customers coming back: they own almost all the washing machine brands. If you hate your Whirlpool because it broke down after a couple years, you vow never to buy that brand again. So you buy a Maytag and it's the exact same machine from the exact same factory, just with different markings and styling.

It's a difference of mindset.

Postgres includes many features that increase the number of simple use-cases for the existing data in their database, thus allowing you to replace a Postgres complement (like Mongo) with Postgres for that use-case.

"Enterprise" DBMSes like Oracle and MSSQL, meanwhile, don't focus so much on expanding the use-cases of their offering, as they do on expanding the number of ways a sysadmin can take the existing use-cases and make them scale better, with less manual maintenance. Oracle and Microsoft allow you to replace their ecosystem of tools and extensions with a DBMS-internal feature for the given sysadmin need.

So Postgres has an expanding ecosystem of tooling and extensions, but is slowly eating its complements; while Oracle and MSSQL have an expanding space of complementary offerings, but are slowly eating their own product ecosystems.

Or, to put that another way: Postgres focuses more on making life easier for people who write SQL; Oracle and Microsoft focus more on making life easier for the DBAs who manage the DBMS cluster that people are running SQL against.

That's a REALLY bad idea. Shooting yourself in the foot is a perfect analogy here.
> It seemed pretty shady to me to charge customers for a feature that wasn't delivered or legally approved or likely even finished

It's still available for the Model X and Model S. The disclosure when you pay for it is very clear. They are not acting sketchy when they sell it to you. I'd guess it has more to do with not enough people ordering it, so removing the option streamlines fulfillment.

> I suspect they're finding the shipped hardware isn't enough to accomplish what they want with the necessary reliability.

Yeah they already admitted to this. Anyone who has paid for full self driving is getting a Hardware 3.0 (HW3) upgrade for free. They said full self driving will require HW3.

> Total speculation, but I'd bet a chocolate chip cookie that they'll find they need to make changes to the sensor array as well.

Yeah, as an owner I'm pretty worried that will be the case but I guess we will see. I doubt they will admit to this publicly though - they seem adamant that the sensors today should be sufficient.
That sounds like a failure of the teachers then, not of OOP.
If it's only a software update, when most of ML efforts are open sourced, I don't see why I can't install my own solution.
Sometimes I try to extrapolate out current conditions. I always end up with heavily policed cities for the protected class, ghetto suburbs and rural areas for the ones who didn't choose the right parents. We seem determined to build a caste system and in the US the Untouchables will be the ones who were born without professional parents. Every five years or so there will be a Hillbilly Elegy to remind the poor that it's all their fault.

This presumes that no trauma intervenes in between. Historically, war, famine, plague and ecological disasters have done pretty well at reducing inequality.
Indeed. I just hate the versions hell (as well as dealing with old versions of a language although I happen to love old hardware) so much that I've been ignoring the whole Python until the 3.6 release waiting for the time when one will be able to use all the Python stuff without bothering to learn anything about Python 2.x. It took 10 years of waiting but we are finally here now and now I enjoy Python :-)
Full self driving capability is still available for purchase for existing long range battery Model 3 owners that didn't pay for full self driving capability up front. The cost is still $5k.
Most people take "OOP" to mean what schools told them. And that's why "OOP" does mean that. Because most people vaguely agreed on some blurry definition, and use it.

The fact that "OOP" is no longer used to point to what Alan Kay originally meant is immaterial. It's a shame, but that train has passed.
Agreed, it's very silly. No one attacks people in the upper middle class for using mortgage deductions, tax advantaged investment vehicles (ie 401Ks), education accounts, tax loss harvesting etc to minimize tax burden; however, whenever a wealthy person tries to minimize their tax burden, they are immediately judged. It is not reasonable to state that one group of people can take advantage of tax code incentives and other groups cannnot.
> Some economists have argued that we can lessen inequality only by giving up on growth and efficiency. But recent research, such as work done by Jonathan Ostry and others at the International Monetary Fund, suggests that economies with greater equality perform better, with higher growth, better average standards of living and greater stability. Inequality in the extremes observed in the U.S. and in the manner generated there actually damages the economy.

An interesting passage in the article.

Edit: I think that refers to this paper, am not sure if that's the only applicable reference.

What are the ramifications of never changing the gas in a hybrid like the Volt? Does it “go bad” eventually?
What irks me about this article is its sole narrative on billionaires helping billionaires. Nowhere in the regs does it say that somebody with a $100 gain couldn't invest that into a project.

Granted there are other regulatory issues that will limit a lot of this activity to accredited investors (via Reg D private placements), but OZ regs have nothing to do with a persons net worth or income.

As other posters have commented, the benefits are three fold - deferring your gain until the end of 2026, a 10% step up in basis on the gain if you hold for 5 years, an additional 5% step up if you hold for a full 7 years, and an exemption on tax for the appreciation of the assets you've invested in if you hold them for 10 years.

> but there's only been a single draft at the IETF written by a Mozilla employee

I can see why it might look that way, but actually draft-ietf-tls-esni-01 is the third draft of this document, and has been co-written by at least four named authors including Chris Wood at Apple. Also that "Mozilla employee" was one of the Working Group chairs.

draft-ietf-tls-esni-01 was preceded by draft-ietf-tls-esni-00 (it is usual for early drafts to have zero zero versions)

draft-ietf-tls-esni-00 was preceded by draft-rescorla-tls-esni which was Eric Rescorla's first write-up of this idea

Finally, though this document didn't exist twelve months ago, the "issues and requirements" document did. This document imports the thinking behind that document, it just provides an implementation and now Firefox is testing it.

The reason for the name change is a thing called "adoption". The TLS Working Group agreed by consensus to adopt this piece of work, rather than it just being independent stuff by a handful of people who coincidentally were working group members. When that happens the draft's name changes, to reflect the adoption (removing a single person's name) and sometimes to use more diplomatic naming (e.g. the "diediedie" draft got a name that didn't tell TLS 1.0 to "die" any more when it was adopted).
Thank you for linking that classic.
> I’m pretty sure the Open BSD developers are completely comfortable with their story.

They were pretty comfortable with their patching story -- until enough people complained and lo, syspatch(8) appeared.

Beyond the posturing, nobody likes to run a project that nobody else uses; and sometimes even lusers are right.

> Every piece of the system is carefully thought out and organized

I am not saying they should rush out a crap docker clone, but rather a "carefully thought out and organized" docker alternative.

> you can do it yourself in 10 steps or less.

It's still 5x the steps you need with docker. As I said, it's about simple reproducibility rather than just isolation. Even if it were easy to write my own docker-compose (and indeed many people argued the same, when docker first emerged, because it actually was little more than shell scripts), having one well-defined set of tools helps tremendously with kickstarting adoption and to avoid reinventing the wheel every few weeks.
Washington state has cheap hydro also, as to a lesser extent do many of the other states in the west coast (California has lots of hydro, but they also need lots of electricity and even import from Washington).

Bad code is bad code, no matter which language. Languages won't save you from poor design choices.

OOP is popular in large enterprise systems because it (purports to) promote encapsulation and abstraction, which allows many teams/people to interact. Organizations may like OOP because it helps reinforce their drive for independence and fiefdom (see Conway's law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway%27s_law).
Whether it is the best paradigm, the most practical, 'just good enough', the wrong choice is anecdotal.
Also, in experience many companies would rather fail conventionally than succeed unconventionally.
Didn't they previously stop doing software-limited batteries after people got annoyed by it? Seems weird that they would start doing it again.
Not all viewers will be unable to understand the source. On a few occasions where another newspaper cited a German source and linked to it, I was able to determine that the original German article had simply been misinterpreted. Chinese speakers could do the same for sources in Chinese. Obfuscating sources just makes it harder to find out about such translation mistakes.

Second, even readers who do not understand the source themselves might need to know some specific detail contained therein (e.g. your company operates in China and you want to know how you might be affected). They could hire a professional translator to help them understand it.

The reason Reuters (and most other news sites) don't link to sources is probably that they don't want traffic to leave their site. They'll happily link to tangentially related articles on their own site, though.
