>Tesla is investing in developing 4 new models, production capacity for model Y, building 2 more gigafactories, building 1,000s of superchargers globally, building capacity for solar roof production

Tesla claims to be doing all this, but the financials say different. Their CapEx has not increased in many quarters (it actually decreased at one point recently). So can you explain to us how you think they are doing all this? Where does the money come from?

Interesting, but not necessarily surprising. It's pretty well known that the STL favors generality and interface consistency over speed.

In any C++ conference talk about performance the speaker's almost guaranteed to mention that their project uses their own optimized library instead of the STL.

The length of the beta is likely a function of the number of features of the given app.
I would think that most apps wanting to compete in this space would be up against apps with insane amounts of features - think Adobe software - which would require a certain amount of time to test/fix per "feature". The same might be true of, for example, a Microsoft Office competitor. Lots of legacy functions tucked away in those apps.

Just speculating since I've only personally tried fumbling around in Inkscape <5 times in my life, but it might explain the phenomenon.
>I don't care about money, except in that I need it to pay taxes, rent, health care, and so on.

I do care about money: not only do I need it to pay rent, healthcare, (not taxes, that's just a portion of your income, so no income = no taxes) etc., but I also need to it buy things I enjoy and to enrich my life: foreign travel, for instance, costs money. If I had to sit around my apartment for the rest of my life because I couldn't afford to travel anywhere, my life would not be worth living.

Crucially, the "mono-" bit means "one." One seller.

1 < n ⪅ 5 is "oligopoly".

If they collude and conspire it's a "cartel", but technically a cartel can also be a subset of players in a "polyopoly" (which is "many sellers", i.e. a healthy market). It's just way easier if the cartel = everyone :)

>Experts worry that the devices could put kids' developing brains at risk, get them hooked on nicotine early in life and be a gateway to smoking and other drugs. But, the long-term effects aren't clear.

The vast majority of smoking’s harmful effects are due to the combustion products not the nicotine. It is really unclear if vaping will really have a long term effect on kids. In addition, given that vaping doesn’t really hurt other people via second hand smoke or altered behavior(see alcohol) this whole panic about vaping seems overblown. How much do you want to bet that the “medical experts” who are harping about the dangers of vaping without a lot of data are “consultants” for pharmaceutical companies looking to get their “anti-addiction” drug approved.
Cartel implies a degree of collusion.

Oligopoly seems like the most accurate word choice.

Show HN: My low-tech, 1997-style site helped me adopt thousands of subscribers
I run a weekly humorous newsletter about the tech industry/tech jobs called TechLoaf (https://www.techloaf.io/).

After experimenting, A/B/C/D/E testing, etc I found that using the lowest, simplest landing page possible actually led me to gain thousands more followers and a much higher conversion. I don't even post content on the site - the content is only accessible through the newsletter itself (or links or search, but nobody does that).

Part of me wonders how much of modern UI/UX is oversell, especially when explaining value proposition to an educated, skeptical audience. I mean look at any dime-a-dozen SaaS company - there is so much unnecessary information going on on every landing page when ultimately the goal is typically just to get someone to "Request a Demo" on the page.

Also, shameless plug to sign up yourself if you'd like.

This is my opinion as a former Qt developer who dabbled in GTK in my spare time. Qt is all written in 90's C++ with all of the garbage that entails--awful memory management, CMake as a build system, no widely used package manager, shitty tools, etc. It's actually _worse_ than 90's C++ because it depends on a convoluted soup of preprocessor macros and a metaobject compiler in order to bolt onto C++ things like a dynamic type system and reflection. This means there's only one IDE that really understands it, and it was really buggy when I last used it (~2014). The one nice thing about Qt is QML, which is only nice to the extent that it removes or papers over the aforemetioned list of shitty Qt characteristics.

And GTK is strictly worse than Qt.

For all its issues, web development is nowhere near this bad--it's cheaper and easier for an organization to ship a bastardized browser alongside their web app than to build a Qt app.
Intentionally focusing conscious attention on the immediate actions you’re taking, preferably the immediate physical actions. Breathing, typing, moving papers, whatever it is.

The premise being that a lot of stress is produced by the mental process of prediction and thinking into the future or the past, and by redirecting attention the the areas where you are taking immediate action, you produce emotional reactions to the sensation of progress, instead of emotionally predicting the potential outcomes of the hypothetical future.

Note that this applies even if you are resting or relaxing — “all I have to do now is breathe”.
This was a destroyer though. Pretty small compared to a battleship or a carrier. Not really a high prestige command.
There's a big difference between an additive process vs subtractive process. To me, additive is much easier as it starts at the bottom and build up. Nothing is ever in the way of the next step. Subtractive is much more difficult as you have to figure out how to get to places that needs tooling, how to hold the piece to do the work on it (especially as the piece changes shape in the process). Most projects I work on requires more work in setup than actual milling/cutting/etc. It's one of those things that most people just don't realize until they actually attempt it.

23andme does destroy your samples, and the genotype tests are not very useful for determining paternity.
I have no idea why is this downvoted (greyed out).

It seems that trains (intercity) can work in some countries (Japan for example), but in most countries these days it is more expensive to take a train than a flight (the UK, Germany for example)!

And these are densely populated areas. I can only imagine how ridiculous that would be in the US which is sparsely populated.

A note on peak energies is spot on as well - if it is difficult to balance a network with a varying consumption that would be even a bigger challenge when production is nondeterministic (solar, wind) as well.

While I definitely support battery storage development, the truth is that fossil-based plants are going to be needed for another few decades so the operators could balance the network. For example, the recently installed battery in Australia could provide electricity to San Francisco just for 9 minutes (if I did my math correctly) which is probably not even enough time to start another plant.

I simply changed the way I screened calls.

If I don't recognize your number, I immediately send it to voicemail. If it's something I need to worry about, I call back.

My hope is that eventually spam callers will catch on to the fact that they've had no hits on my number and drop me from the list. I assume that no amount of interaction I have with them will get me off the list, so I simply choose not to interact with them.

Broadly speaking, you could also probably set up Do Not Disturb settings on your device, and I'd love it if we could filter calls unless they're from specific people during a specific time (e.g. family calls during work).

Long term, the best way we fight this is with our vote. The current FCC administration seems uninterested in this problem, and I think voting in a new administration may provide different results. Engage with your federal representatives as well!
There's not much you as an individual can do to stop it. I have the same issue with Comcast filling my PO Box with shitloads of junkmail.

The phone system is designed to accept anyone calling on it, and there's no authentication mechanisms in place for securing it since it all has to interoperate and is built on dated standards.

There are basically two solutions to stopping the problem (instead of treating the symptom). The first is to increase costs to make phone calls (voip made this basically free and it gets abused). This was the old deterrant.

The other is to have providers work on an authentication method for their network, they are starting to do this with STIR/SHAKEN: https://transnexus.com/whitepapers/stir-and-shaken-overview/

Legislation won't help unless it is on the providers to require authentication.
Individual solutions: "Do not disturb" mode that only rings for contacts, using one of the robocall-blocking apps (eg Nomorobo).

Industry solutions are supposedly forthcoming - see STIR/SHAKEN standards for caller verification. T-Mobile says they're doing something with this: https://www.t-mobile.com/news/caller-verified-note9

> Instead of debating the role of nicotine replacement and drug therapies, the agency "should be focusing on policies that will prevent youth initiation with e-cigarettes and addiction to nicotine,"

I've been noticing this form of argument... in case it's not clear why I find it strange: yes, for a hypothetical child it's ideal that he not get addicted in the first place. But you still have these children who are addicted, that's a real problem, so while it's useful to also consider prevention, a regulatory agency is mandated to address an actual problem.

I did this by moving across the country. Anytime I get a call that is "local" to my phone number, I know it is not for me. (sometimes spam, sometimes misdial, never someone I know (I have all their numbers in my phone already)).

Anytime I get a call that is local to my actual location, it's almost always someone who has a legitimate need to get a hold of me (or my ISP trying to upsell me to landline phone)

Yes, especially since we estimate humans and apes share near 99% of their DNA sequence.
Why do people assume ancestry results from these DNA tests are "accurate"? Human ethnicity is a continuum, not distinct pools of genes. We are applying labels conceived by modern nationalism to several thousands of years of migration and intermarriage. It would be great if people stopped treating ancestry results from these tests as authoritative reference.

There was a controversy about Korean & Japanese ancestry results from 23andMe where ethnic Koreans are sometimes classified as >30% Japanese. These two groups shared common ancestors since ancient humans migrated via the Korean Peninsula to the Japanese archipelago centuries before the modern nations of Korea and Japan came into existence. Slapping either one of these specific labels on shared ancestry is wildly inaccurate and short sighted.
This is largely the difference between hardware projects (not just electronics -- metal and wood as well) and software. Decent quality physical things and materials can't be downloaded and reused indefinitely.

Almost all of these “studies” have an agenda, and usually it is to promote a low tax state. So, I would take this with a huge grain of salt. Especially the article states that Texas was propelled to #1 from #8, because of preventative healthcare for women. What ?? What about very real restrictions to abortion for women in Texas ? Also, just looking at raw VC numbers, Texas is far far behind CA and NY when it comes to entrepreneurship. This almost sounds like a study that started with a conclusion and wanted to apply “community adjusted EBITDA”
Hey, I am also on the same boat. I have been trying different things lately. I have gone through a lot of courses and a lot of books, but most of these experts have the curse of knowledge. They don't know how it is like to not know. They skip things that seems obvious to them. But, for begineers not having such information can be frustruating and feels like the author/lecturer is moving fast.

I recently stumbled upon this book "The Language of Mathematics: Utilizing Math in Practice" I have been reading this book for a while and the author takes a different approach in teaching maths. I am slowly beginning to learn how to forumulate a real world problem into mathematical model and then solve it. More importantly, I am able to read and understand mathematical expressions better through this book. This book has raised my hopes in learning and apply math. I would recommend you to give it a shot on this before you go through any other courses.
As another poster said, this wasn't house-sitting, this was basically boarding. This is the problem with dogs as pets: you absolutely have to board them when you go away, or else you have to pay someone to come to your place several times a day to walk them and clean up after them. That's not cheap, and is why boarding exists (the boarding person/company can have a bunch of peoples' dogs all in one place and take care of them all at the same time).

Why anyone wants a pet that costs so much and can't be left alone for a couple of days, and on top of that needs regular bathing and grooming so they don't stink up your home, I have no idea. These animals made a lot of sense for working on farms and living mostly outside (and still do for people who still live that way in rural areas), but for urban environments they really don't.
Anti-tobacco extremists believe the ends justify the means. They'll happily give people dangerous psychoactive drugs or get them hooked on nicotine replacement therapy if it means advancing their agenda.

I quit smoking a couple years back and I was baffled by the lack of quality information I could find online. It's 90% propaganda, thanks to the anti-smoking warriors. Most of it pushes these quit-smoking drugs or just different forms of nicotine intake (which is the very drug you're supposed to be trying to quit in the first place).

You'd think we would have collectively learned something from the abysmal failure of things like the DARE program and abstinence-only education. Facts work better than scare tactics and propaganda.
Inflation would depend on the way labor responds. If folks continue to work the same number of hours, inflation is likely. But what if folks use the extra $1000/month to justify spending more time on non-income producing activities?

Local business owner was telling me that police showed up at her business with her 9 year old because the 9 year old was "out on her own". He was walking from the local business to their house, about ... 8 blocks from the business. It's a smallish town (40,000 population, but in this 'old town district', maybe 2-3000?). Police brought the kid back to the business and chastised the business owner, intimating that letting her kid walk home unattended was in violation of some law. She asked for the specific law, which pissed off the officer to no end (because there isn't one here).
