I've been on plenty of machine learning projects and have seen the boss make promises that the engineers are expected to keep. This is exactly what it looks like. The outcome is always overfitting a simulation or data set somewhere so that it looks like it's working, but the real world performance ends up being worse. Unless the engineers get stubborn and declare themselves to have failed (which can actually happen).

But in the projects I did, it was some dumb sales recommendation system. These people are doing it with self driving cars.
The actual price is one place on the screen at the bottom in white text on grey with the fake prices on the prominently on the side in bold. Its shady.

> I have no understanding why last time was so painful, and this time it's been so amazing.

It has been my experience that if I try to learn something hard and give up and then come back to it a few months later, I have a way easier time even with no apparent changes in process. I suspect some of it is giving your brain time to process fundamentals or something.
You don't want to use a heat pump to blow hot air. You want to use a heat pump for low temperature underfloor heating. The heat is right where you want it, the heat pump doesn't have to work as hard (because of the lower temperature). And everyone is happy.
That's just so they can give you the illusion of some kind of savings.

It'd be like if I got to go in to a hiring offer and was able to demand a million dollars a year so that any lower salary seemed like a value.
IIRC, they've been doing this since the Model S, not that it makes it any less shady.
> Why would it be the company's duty of care and not the parent

It is the company's duty of care for the same reason that

- it is the city's duty of care if the child goes outside and falls down an unmaintained manhole

- it is the school's duty of care if a fire extinguisher malfunctions and kills the child

- it is the driver's duty of care if the child crosses the road and gets struck on a green crossing

In all these cases, the entities assume a certain privilege to operate due to the trust placed in them that enables the freedom for the child to go outside whatsoever. If that duty does not exist, then there is no trust the child can safely leave home unattended. In effect what you're arguing for is total control from the parent -- a much worse outcome for a child than self-moderation on behalf of the trusted entities they would otherwise have had the freedom to interact with.
I believe they're trying to avoid all the tensions and pressures that come from dealing with a dealership network.
Ah yes, halting conversation for our own good. We see this on reddit all the time. The conversation gets hot so the moderator locks the thread.

How does this help anything? I've actually asked. And I never got a straight answer. I figure it's some kind of moderator-loss-of-control-anxiety-reaction.

I own a TM3, Long Range, Premium Interior, Enhanced auto pilot. The best part of this announcement for LR owners is that the range will be bumped to 325 miles for new and existing cars!

that out of the way, well it is about time. it is nice to see, I still don't agree with how they present the cost on their website but I am at the point that I think it will take regulations to fix that. Telsa seems immune to criticism on that front. I am in the camp of, truth in advertising.

Now, the value of the premium interior took a sizable hit. the remaining advantages are heated rear seats, more speakers for the stereo, satellite maps with live traffic, streaming media, and the internet browser.

so my question is, did I pay for life of the car satellite traffic and streaming? there have been hints that this was not the case. the rear heated seats and extra speakers certainly don't make up $2500 in value but if there is lifetime satellite maps with traffic that would be a selling point.

on a side note, the other area besides advertising pricing that Tesla needs to be called out on is providing parts to repair existing cars. The nightmare still exists for many owners with some being without their car for over six months.
> Who gets the bulk of the fruits of his labors, and to a very large extent what he does is determined by said expropriating suits

At any other ti in history, with any other technology (Tesla vs Edison) that would be true. But in tech, the billions made the companies. Page, Brin, Bezos, Gates all got the "bulk of the fruits".

There is this weird idea that work creates value in a vacuum. That's not true. Work in a context - of a company that has funding/profitability/stores of cash creates value. Work done in a vacuum does not.

We need to balance those elements carefully, because not enough workers slows growth, but so does not enough capital/misallocation of capital (see housing).

The ideal world is one in which we all move in the same direction together not out of compulsion but out of an understanding that we all benefit from moving in said same direction.

This has always been a brittle and not easily portable approach.

Passing passwords as arguments has always been a bad idea.
The truth isnt as simple as you make it out to be. Pakistan was just handed into the control of a new government which seems to be taking a proactive stand with popular measures coming into play.

India is entering into election terms which could be the reason these tensions are escalating. Both countries using this to further their own political agendas. India crossed the Line of Control, Pakistan shot down and captured pilots. And just announced the release of said pilot(s). It seems that Pakistan has no interest in playing with fire, although they are confident in dealing with any threat that comes their way. Indias current government seems more interested in playing this game and spurring nationalistic fervor since that particular regime has a very real interest in getting reelected.

Both countries have intelligence agencies that probably fund terrorist camps. So blaming just one country is highly misguided.

But yes i agree with you, its very easy for outsiders to cheaply throw words in an article without deeply researching whats actually happening.
buzzfeed lol
The Korean Peninsula conflict is different. The US keeps soldiers there to make sure that any conflict started by N. Korea is also an explicit attack on the US. So nuking US soldiers would likely mean getting nuked in return.

On a side note, this agreement is likely all that keeps S. Korea, Japan, and Taiwan from deploying their own nuclear weapons.
Looks great and thank you for sharing. Uyghur looks like a fun language to learn although I'm sure it's difficult to practice in person and given the situation in China it's unlikely to get better. I do wonder if the memes in /r/languagelearning about Uzbek will carry through to some people actually learning and researching these Turkic languages more.
>That drops a ton if you would have purchased a Prius or other hybrid though.

Nicely done math. Based on Toyota etc.’s marketing claims I guess. In which case it might be around $6/100 miles (guesstimate) versus Tesla $3.8/100 miles.
It’s common practice because there are a lot of racist bigots. That’s not a particularly compelling reason.

You suggested to someone that they hide their heritage so you don’t think less of them. You may consider that ordinary. But that’s common or garden racism.

And your inability to pronounce someone’s name is a failing in your education or experience. Your failing, not theirs.
I'm very worried about the bees. My theory is that the bees are going to go extinct, and that will be the butterfly that wipes us out.

At the very least it seems highly probably we'll be in a state of total anarchy in a new dark age within the next fifty years thanks in part to unethical uses of technology.
It's so shady that they are closing down their stores and have no one to answer questions about when spare parts for damaged cars are going to arrive. I detect a pattern of ducking from questions about keeping their current cars on the road.

I would very much say that if the scientists and stakeholders really, really wanted to pore through the data to understand whether it might work or not, they can get some more insight from their experiments.

Most antibody therapies (which form the bulk of currently explored therapies) have to be tested on modified mice models simply because of the fact that these antibodies are raised against human targets that have to be engineered into the mice. But then such artificial models make lots of complications in their interpretation which people have to spend lots of time interpreting. I've seen on several occasions from just published data that there were glaring warning signs that a potential therapy might have adverse interactions with the immune system or such, and the company would just go ahead with trials anyway.
This qualifies as shady. It’s pretty much the definition of shady. Probably just barely legal.
So, this company buys 50 smart bulbs (instead of smart switches) and then connects them to a sensitive wifi network.

I think they have bigger issues than whether the bulbs themselves are secure (even if they are the manufacturer).

The key is to read up on something called "Nuclear Winter". The impact of the next nuclear conflict is likely to be felt much more broadly than just across a single border.
Just happened to see your reply here before I went off to sleep:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19276012

Interesting and maybe significant that you say: "Then we'll agree to disagree. I think you are wrong on so many points here, it's clear we're not going to agree, and probably won't find common ground."

First, interesting that you say "I think you are wrong on so many points here ..." but do not deign to offer any points to back up your statement. Kind of a cop-out, looks like. Anyone can say someone else is wrong; such statements do not carry any weight unless backed up with something more substantial.

And about your "four decades", like I said in a previous comment, years or age do not matter, facts do. I care not a whit if the person I am arguing with has 4 years or 4 decades or 4 centuries of experience. They (or I) can still be wrong (or right) about any specific topic we happen to be arguing about. I've been known to acknowledge that I was wrong, in arguments with people less experienced than me, many times, and vice versa has happened too.

Nor is finding "common ground" the goal (this is not some sort of compromise between political parties, it's a technical argument). Getting things right is the goal. For which, sometimes one party or the other may have to admit they are wrong - including me. Just that I do not think I am wrong in this case.

Will still write my fuller reply as I said earlier, to keep my word, and to make the picture more clear for other readers, since you have made these statements, even if you have hastily left the conversation.
Almost all children are given a cell phone well before the age when they can pay for it themselves nowadays. Most American children are given a cell phone by age 7.

Whether that’s a good idea or not, it’s hardly something unusual or worth comment on its own.

Yes that's right! I did base my pricing on books like Authority
Always something negative when it comes to Tesla. They finally delivered on their promise of a $35k model 3, which is a monumental achievement, and yet the top comment is about the website.

Haven't seen the desktop site, but on mobile the full price of $35k is clearly visible.
> Myst was mostly a series of static images.

Myst was at the cutting edge of technology at the time. They had to write some weird custom extensions in order to jam color into HyperCard at all. (Myst was initially written in HyperCard!) One could argue that designing the game around static images that could be rendered offline was itself an optimization. It gave the illusion of an immersive 3D space within the very harsh limitations of early Macs.

Also, the couple of QuickTime videos used in the game were very carefully integrated into a surrounding static image to give the illusion of an entire live scene while only animating a small rectangle of it because that's all most computers could handle at the time.

Myst is a fantastic example of making very thoughtful performance decisions given the constraints at the time.
Thanks, I'll give e It a try!
> a test drive prior to purchase isn’t needed. You can now return a car within 7 days or 1,000 miles for a full refund

Call me old fashioned, but that is in no way a better alternative to a test drive prior to commitment.
Have their been any studies on comment quality at free vs subscribed (for money) sites?

Perhaps Patreon should just add comments and subscribers can comment there. Content creators could link to it and it would be read-only unless you pay.

That savings also drops to zero if you're coming from another electric vehicle such as a Leaf.
It’s not the promise I’d signed up for. When I dropped my $2k reservation, it was for a $35,000 car, including a $7500 government rebate, or net $27500 (plus tax lic etc). Instead of delivering my car in the order the reservation was placed, (in that scenario, I’d get the full $7500 rebate), my reservation was reprioritized for Tesla’s bottom line. Would I have done the same thing in Elon’s shoes, sure, but just because they’ve delivered a $35,000 version, doesn’t mean I’m happy.
Last week I had an epiphany about why I do so bad in interviews. Lately I have been getting into playing holdem poker online, and I decided to go to a live casino and see how that would feel.

While there I was as stressed as I am during an interview. When I got into a hand and one of the players raised my bet, I found myself unable to do the basic arithmetic operation of subtracting my initial bet from his raise to figure out how much more I should add to the pot. Even when I was told the amount from the dealer, I was still unable to calculate how many chips that would be.

The feeling was exactly like the one I have when interviewing, my brain is so stunned that is unable to do any thinking at all.
Cutting the middlemen is always a good strategy when it works.

Not only do universities not openly admit to SciHub usage, but there are even university administrations that still warn their students and staff against using SciHub.

I recently read through a fairly prominent European university’s freshly-revised course for undergraduates on how basic use of the library and research methods (I saw this as part of my job, so naturally I won’t name the institution). Among the course content on how to find journal articles in JSTOR and Web of Science, how to properly cite your sources, etc. were admonitions not to use SciHub because it “is illegal”, and warnings that use of SciHub can lead to failing a course or having one’s student status revoked.
They'd both be pariahs for a considerable amount of time (decades possibly), in fact from a global point of view it might actually be better to not fire back after a limited (theatre) level attack, your opponent would destroy any credibility they had entirely.

Just the optics of the US or EU doing business with a country that lobbed a nuke at a democracy (I'm assuming it's Pakistan that fires in this scenario because honestly that is the more likely first strike, India has a firmly stated policy of no first use).

The Pakistani system is considerably more fractured and much less under control with almost parallel systems of government between the military leaders and civilian leaders.

They are pretty much the worst case scenario after NK having nukes and in some ways worse, NK doesn't have an ongoing relationship with religious fundamentalists at every level.
The Massachusetts EV rebate is incorrect. It dropped to $1500 this year.
>One such stopping point could be "no comments should be allowed on media with certain features that overwhelmingly tend to attract morally reprehensible comments." Another such stopping point could be "all comments should be allowed, except those which the community has decided have no merit."

The comment chain is about whether comment sections should be available or not, not individual comments. Furthermore, down the chain you'll find a person saying that they like youtube's comment sections, because it represents the way many/most people think. The post I'm replying to is saying that deplatforming is good for stopping the spread of bad information. This does not read like the person is advocating for nuance or some in between solution, because if most people say those kinds of things, then the community would decide that they have merit.

>no comments should be allowed on media with certain features that overwhelmingly tend to attract morally reprehensible comments.

And who decides what is and is not morally reprehensible? If I tell Americans that letting an 8 year old play outside unsupervised, then I would be found to be morally reprehensible (as it is illegal in many places in the US). If I tell Polish people that it's okay to punish parents who let their 8 year old play unsupervised, then I would be found to be morally reprehensible.

Both of the stop points you brought up are basically ways to segment communities. Reddit calls this a "circlejerk".
Wonder how the move to close many of their stores would play out 5 years down the line. Is the idea that now there enough cars out there for people to experience through friends and colleagues? Seems like a very unconventional move (conventional for Tesla).

Also it appears Autopilot is now a $3K add-on (vs $5K previously). And the full self-driving is back at an additional $5K and includes some of the features that previously existed in AP.
I agree that it is unnecessary and borderline misleading. They will display the amount you actually have to pay, though.

On the flip side: you don't have to deal with dealerships, which are _much worse_

You just configure the car, give your credit card information, and done. This is unlike most other manufacturers which, even if they do give you a quote, will then hand you off to shady salespeople.
That is an odd reason to downvote considering the comment I replied to didn't mention that at all.
And then the company sends it to collections, ruins your credit rating and you get harassed by collectors.
That’s what I did to my kids for exactly that reason.

No way I’m giving teenagers a blank check, no matter how reassuring or enticing the vendors make the deals look.

2FA is protection against a lost password. It was never protection against a lost password combined with a stolen device.

Think about this scenario. You use Google authenticator on your phone, and have your banking app on your phone. A thief knows your banking password and steals your phone.

Now replace "phone" with "computer". I don't see how changing the underlying 2FA device changes security.

The only real danger is if that 2FA db on your computer is not encrypted. But again, the same danger exists if you use an unencrypted phone.
Re: Girls consistently outperform boys academically. And yet, men nonetheless hold a staggering 95 percent of the top positions in the largest public companies.

The top positions are dominated by obsessive workaholics. In my opinion women are genetically wired to focus more on family. Long hours and business travel heavily cut into caring for family. I'm not making a value judgement, just an observation. While I do believe there is gender discrimination at work: people tend to hire clones of themselves, there are biological factors also.
To improve the discussion even more let's be really pedantic and say "US citizens" since technically all people in South America and North America are Americans. I also don't know where I mentioned POWs.

Actually: $36,200

Tesla charges a non-negotiable $1,200 "Destination & doc fee" which in CA is not a fee. It is not state mandated, and is just pure profit for dealerships that charge it (explaining why the amount varies wildly per-dealership).

Google it. It is NOT required anywhere, and all cars I've ever bought, I've gotten the dealership to pay it.

You can only use Dark Patterns with a Twitter account?

Is this some kind of intentional irony or something? Social Login force-tied to a specific company is Dark Pattern #1 in my books.

Edit: They define "dark pattern" at the top of their site:

> Dark Patterns are tricks used in websites and apps that make you buy or sign up for things that you didn't mean to.

That's exactly with Login With Twitter is. The user is presented with a simple option for logging in, but then is tricked by giving their metadata and account info that will 'sign them up' to be analyzed and targeted by Twitter for whatever purposes. Yes the TOS is probably there on social login, but aren't Long TOSs that are prompted in the middle of a user flow also Dark Patterns, as no user is likely to read them?

Can't possibly take that site seriously.

Edit 2: The darkest pattern from their site:

> We aren't great at responding to email — Twitter is best.

Yikes.
Could this discovery serve as a guidance and inspiration for the California High Speed Rail?
Has someone an idea how the 7 day full refund policy will work out? Something like “only if all seat plastic covers were kept on”, or is there gonnna be a refurbished market? However there is usually a high decrease in value on “unsealing”, so this needs to be accounted for in the original price. Nonetheless it allows to effectively increase the KPI “number of cars sold”.
They subtract gas savings, but don't add the destination fee or any state taxes. I kind of get the gas savings bit, but to selectively include savings and hide other fees is shady as hell in my opinion.

At least that's what it was like before; in Australia, the Model 3 configuration screen is apparently now stuck in an infinite redirect loop. It looks like it's unchanged, but I can't look at the page for more than a second.
Having just purchased a Model 3 in December, I second this wholeheartedly. It was the best buying experience I've ever had.
I like the idea, but why would I use this instead of Mendeley or EndNote, for example? Especially since Mendeley is free, and has a word plugin for writing and referencing.
