Then you're still competing with Merry Maids. Which pays minimum wage. Sure, there's a point at which the robot works fast enough for long enough with a sufficiently high MTBF that it becomes cheaper than a minimum wage worker. But it's still a very hard price point to hit.
It should also be pointed out that, at the time, cross-Atlantic travel was expensive and few people in North America outside of the US had any interest in immigrating.[1] Additionally, American independence ended the transportation of British prisoners to the colonies and severely limited the amount of indentured servant immigration.

[1] During the colonial era, the bigger problem was the risk of white settlers emigrating to a nearby American Indian community. For example, it's likely that the entire colony of Roanoke did this. Even as late as the 19th century, white children captured and raised by the Comanche almost exclusively chose to continue living as Comanche even after being given the chance to return.
Where do you draw the line? Is an electric can-opener with automatic shut-off slavelike?
I would say so, yes. For instance, basic object creation in Perl 6 is now faster than basic object creation in Perl 5. Both can be improved with some tricks that experienced developers know, such as not using accessors in Perl 5, but directly lookup keys in the underlying hash. Similarly in Perl 6 some tricks can be performed. And then still Perl 6 is faster. Introducing Moo or Moose on the Perl 6 side, will only make Perl 5 slower.

Making things faster in Perl 6 has been the main focus of development in the past 3 years.

See also our most recent teaser for the 6.d release: https://i.redd.it/et514ut106u11.jpg which shows that the use of set operators has become almost 50x faster in that period.

Their response is to build more, of course, and to expand the current ones. I agree with the sibling that this is a good problem for Tesla to have, particularly as new Teslas are paying into those costs.

I was thinking the same. I’ve often seen GraphQL contrasted with just REST, and likewise the OP talks about gRPC-Web vs just REST.

I performed a web search and found some articles comparing the three together, the first among which [1] I will proceed to summarize.

This article gives an overview of how GraphQL, REST and gRPC work and then provides some opinions on which situations each of them are most suitable in, and also includes examples of companies and services using/implementing each of the three (as well as additionally doing the same for Webhooks).

Note that it speaks of gRPC, not gRPC-Web, so you have to keep in mind that when they talk about gRPC some of the things they are saying do not apply directly for gRPC-Web. I think however that this article is still relevant if one takes into account the details about gRPC-Web from the OP.

The presentation of each of the four is consistent with what I know about REST and GraphQL from having read about them and having worked with REST (both on the consumer and as provider sides) as well as having explored GraphQL a bit, so I am inclined to believe that they know what they are talking about.

Near the end of the article they offer the following opinions for which is appropriate when:

> REST: A stateless architecture for data transfer that is dependent on hypermedia. REST can tie together a wide range of resources that might be requested in a variety of formats for different purposes. REST is fundamentally concerned with stateless resource management, so it’s best used in such situations. Systems requiring rapid iteration and standardized HTTP verbiage will find REST best suited for their purposes.

> gRPC: A nimble and lightweight system for requesting data. gRPC, on the other hand, is best used when a system requires a set amount of data or processing routinely, and in which the requester is either low power or resource-jealous. The IoT is a great example of this.

> GraphQL: An approach wherein the user defines the expected data and format of that data. GraphQL is from Facebook, and that pedigree demonstrates its use case well — situations in which the requester needs the data in a specific format for a specific use. In those cases, those data formats and the relations between them are vitally important, and no other solution provides the same level of interconnected provision of data.

> Webhooks: Data updates to be served automatically, rather than requested. Finally, Webhooks are best used when the API in question primarily updates clients. While such APIs can also have other functions, even RESTful ones, the primary use of a Webhook microservice should be to update clients and provide updated, provisioned data upon the creation of the new, updated resource.

> Choosing amongst these specific options is really a matter of aligning your business functions with the appropriate approach, and ensuring that the systems in place respond within the given parameters.

I found the article to be well written, thought out, and to answer the question I had in my mind. The whole thing is worth a read.

> Tesla no longer seems to be facing a cash crunch in the near term.

I agree these numbers are, essentially, a spectacular turnaround over the past 6 months for which Tesla deserve enormous credit.

That said, current assets are $7.92 billion and current liabilities are $9.77 billion. It's one thing to have around three billion dollars of cash at hand, but not as great if you have three and half billion dollars of bills falling due soon.

Tesla's current ratio is below 1, they will need that positive cashflow to remain consistent to deal themselves out of debt in time.
I agree that that model would be awful, but I think maybe that that is too simple of an analogy. We do already have fuel stations which are exclusive right now, in the form of card access only truck stops which only dispense diesel fuel. There are also similar fuel distribution mechanisms in the marine and aviation industries which dispense different types of fuels (Bunker fuel, 100LL, Jet-A, etc.) which can't be used in automotive applications.

The biggest difference here is that electricity, thankfully, is the same in any form, and the key differentiator is the speed at which you can deliver it. I definitely hope that we can agree on better, faster, common, charge delivery formats, but I wouldn't want to put a hamper on innovation, particularly when the electrical automotive industry is so nascent.

Yeah, the correction re: prototype inheritance is a good one.

That said, there is a qualitative difference in what we call 'classes' in those two environments, which is part of why I think there's confusion. Class in Java is a fairly different concept than a Class in Smalltalk, Ruby, or JS.

I feel like the way that the press reports on corporate earnings in general is in bad need of an overhaul. There is a lot of talk in here about "rare" profits and the needs for financing, but little about why that might be the case.

Does the reporter genuinely believe that a business like Tesla could be built without doing those things? If you had to recreate Tesla from scratch tomorrow, how much would it cost? And wouldn't you have even bigger loans and debt than the business does?

There is just so much context that is not merely left out, but replaced with confusion.
There's tradeoffs involved for moving things to text. On the bad side, it's inherently a low-bandwidth channel, and you cannot interrupt to prune irrelevant digressions from the conversational tree.

On the plus side, however, it creates a written artifact that people can refer back to later. This can be incredibly useful, particularly for people with working memory or other executive function issues. Or for things that are complicated enough that a normal amount of WM/EF cannot cope with what's being communicated.

The hardware is great, but the software is too simple and does not use any CV or ML at all. Maybe I'm thinking too simple, but recognising grass and using SLAM shouldn't be that hard nowadays, so why don't they do it yet?
Even worse, you study in a true Ivy League in the US, be successful, work for years, but still be treated like a slave with tons of bureaucracy.

Understandable but depressing.

That has more to do with philosophy than physics. Does an apple really fall because gravity is pulling down on it? No, but it's a good enough approximation to the truth that it's usually not worth quibbling over.
You basically politely ask AWS if they will refund you when you're DDoSed and hope the attack is apparent enough to pass their threshold.

They were generous enough, but at the expense of uncertainty + you needing to play an active role in getting them to pay your bill. Depending on what sort of service you run, it may be a constant ordeal.

Eventually, yes, it will become a commodity. But the issue is, someone has to spend a lot of money to build out these chargers. Tesla has a big incentive to do it-- their very survival depended on early adopters willing to buy their car, which also means they need a place to charge it. Being able to go 100 miles from your house before you have to turn around was never going to work for car owners, hence Tesla's initial Supercharger build out.

But other car manufacturers, for whatever reason, don't get this. They build their compliance cars with a modest investment in EVs, but honestly, they aren't very good. The Leaf has its niche-- it's a good city car with low range and low cost. The Bolt really is one of the first non-Tesla players with a decent range, yet you can't drive it from Seattle to Yosemite because the lack of chargers and GM isn't investing anything in them. The same goes for BMW.

Volkswagen is forced to build chargers due to the diesel settlement, but ironically without their cheating and forced investment in EV, there would be fewer chargers out there than there are today (or in the near future).

Maybe I'm wrong and hydrogen or some other form of fuel will win, but if EVs do, car manufacturers will be scrambling to catch up and invest in chargers. I don't think this will happen soon, but maybe in 5 years they'll start thinking about it. Really, if they wait until the Model Y in 2020 and Tesla starts eating their lunch in the biggest segment in the US (CUVs), it might wake them up sooner.

I believe I already stated that more immigration is not the solution, in my first comment in this thread.

What's with the hostility and personal attacks? I'm paying the same taxes are everyone around me, but without the right to influence the system because I can't vote. So I can't see what makes me selfish, except the fact that I plan to "jump ship", as you put it. I came to this country with high hopes and expectations, with the idea that I can not only enrich my life and that of my family, but also work on marvelous tech and make the world better. What my actual experience turned out to be is out of scope of this discussion, but would certainly be a prerequisite for judging me fairly.
Everyone's got shorts, but Tesla's short position as percent of float is very high, at almost 29%. GM, for example, is under 2%, and Ford around 3%. That makes it a material point of discussion.

Second, yes, they are probably hedged. But usually they hedge against correlated securities such as industry competitors so they can hedge away risk they don't want to take (i.e., they have a position against Tesla, but no position about car sales in general, so they hedge against the rest of the industry to protect themselves against economic growth raising all car sales). So if Tesla reports good numbers relative to the industry, it will absolutely impact shorts and they are likely to lose substantial amounts of money. What else would they be hedging with? Maybe their bonds, if you had some sort of complicated capital structure arbitrage play, but I haven't seen much of a case being made about the bonds being undervalued relative to equity.

Having said that, I think shorts play an important role in the economy to keep companies honest.
In the past I've either been able to encourage a mutual respect towards documentation and education to help everyone on the team get on the same page…or I've tried to exit the project at the earliest opportunity. You may not know yet if this sloppiness you're seeing is lack of awareness or lack of care. If the former, it's your job to help your team become aware of the problem. If the latter…well, you're probably not going to make much headway and may even make the problem worse (because now you're the "bad guy"). So I would tread carefully to see if it's just a lack of awareness problem, and then help your team work towards more documentation and education around best practices.

> socially withdraw from officemates

I'm trapped in a dystopian open-office nightmare as well. When somebody comes up and starts talking to the guy who sits next to me, right in my ear, it's distracting as hell. So when I'm considering talking to somebody else in the office, I take into account the fact that I'm going to be distracting all of the people within earshot of this conversation that they almost definitely don't care about. As a matter of politeness, I try to use chat tools so that I don't disrupt any more people than I need to. Of course, cubicle walls solves that problem and permits face-to-face conversation, but that's not worth a few extra bucks apparently.

I sure hope it does become a commodity! However, Tesla's network is not a disadvantage here; they can charge (just not FAST charge) from other chargers, and the fast charging can be 'bolted on' later, I'm sure, via an adapter and software update.
Trolley problem is one of those hypothetical made up questions that self-driving cars will never need to think about.

Self-driving cars will learn to break and stop safely when bad things happen. They are not expected to find optimal solutions for freak accidents. If doing the default to do that kills both the passengers and kids on the street then so be it.

When brakes fail, obstacle avoidance probably works but there will be no deeper logic behind it. The choice that is made is probably just some random learned bias inside the neural network, not something well designed.

I've never heard anybody else call them that. The article considers cubicles to be non-open workspaces: "At the time of the study, OpenCo2 was in the process of a multi-year headquarters redesign, which—as in Study 1—involved a transformation from assigned seats in cubicles to similarly assigned seats in an open office design, with large rooms of desks and monitors and no dividers between people's desks."

They will just move the tax to the Tesla Superchargers and the other electric charging stations. Alternatively they could tax it at the DMV level, like they already do to some extent. i.e. instead of a $100 registration fee every year, it will be a $500 registration fee.

I'm going to guess it will be a mix of both, but the govt(s) will be slow to do either, until they realize, too late, that they didn't meet their income goals on fuel taxes last year and suddenly have a shortfall in the budget :)
That's a great idea! I should get right on that!
No, but the point is that this is not a reason Tesla won't succeed, it's just a reason that superchargers suck for non-Tesla EV owners. From a business standpoint, this is the right place to be; lock others out, but don't lock your customers in.
I'm pretty sure every Nissan dealer that sells a leaf must operate a charging station. Granted they're not as easy to access at the supercharger network... but it exists.
You should share what those cars are. Also, when are they planning to enter the market at large? Why haven't they done so yet? I don't doubt other major manufacturers will soon give Tesla a run for their money, but mysterious Chinese manufacturers? Certainly.
