This is very hard to implement; How do you amortize startup costs (building the roads, buying new paving trucks) vs maintenance costs (raw cement, human, cost @ year 1, cost @ year 10, cost to replace the system after X years).

Do you penalize users/tax payers who have a lower use
and less scaled systems? (e.g. should it cost more to mail my grandmother a letter because her post office is less at scale than mine?)

Do you increase the costs if some of your users leave (and risk even more attrition)?

This has been investigated in depth with schools and local businesses. Gov gives them a sweetheart deal with the hope that they contribute back and as the deal get's less good (and Gov starts ramping taxes to deal with paying infrastructure costs) businesses leave. For me the natural conclusion is the government has to provide some balancing (rain day funds, progressive taxes, ...)
Congestion taxes can also shift road use to other times. Imagine many people on the roads are making relatively short trips (eg. a trip that takes 20 mins in traffic instead of 10 mins) that generate a lot of lane changes and contribute to congestion. A congestion tax could encourage them to drive in non-peak times, use the bus, or not make the trip.

You probably shouldn't rely on the API layer as your single source of truth describing the shape of your data...

Musk is clearly not making it any easier and I wish he would be more careful (and continue to be on Twitter). It's not fun for investors. Please don't create these fires.

I also hope that SEC would maintains an objective view of the issue and not get offended at the lack of respect from Musk.

Finally, I would love for Tesla to continue to thrive under Musk's leadership, unless he continues to shoot himself in his foot.
Probably not, but...

Electric cars are associated with environmentalists. This makes your brand hard to market to conservatives, despite the fact that they are big part of the luxury car market. I wonder if sticking it to the SEC could be used to rebrand Tesla...
It's a good ideal, but maybe a bit short for some languages like Objective-C and Swift which use rather wordy function names/selectors; chaining them across multiple lines for the sake of hitting 80 characters per line can be much harder to read.

Induced demand doesn’t say that nothing happened. It says that demand just fills up the new supply.

There are no alternatives to a road system in LA for most residents. If the roads were choked and there was an underutilized subway that I could use, I’d totally get the argument of taxing the road system or capping capacity, so as to push people toward more efficient methods. But, it’s not feesible to build out a subway system in this city that is expansive, so we need to work with what we have- Cars.

Make LA the autonomous car capital of the world. Let’s be the best and first at linking cars together in convoys and shuttling them fast down our massive freeway network.

Let’s build tunnels under the mountain passes to add more connections into Hollywood so people have better access than winding canyon roads.

Let’s build expansive subway networks through south central and downtown to bring cost effective transportation to lower income neighborhoods.

Let’s do a ton. But let’s also build a bunch of roads.
The author spends a lot of time describing the problem, and not a lot on the solution.

The solution proposed seems to be some variant on dataflow programming: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming> Am I misunderstanding?
Yeah of course, there are many things that are widely believed but are false. But we were told this in a 30 minutes course a doctor was giving, in a campaign the schools were doing to educate us about the danger of the sun. A few other things were told, like that there is no total protection sun cream or that even cream that are marked as water resistant do not resist water. That's when we learned that 1mm of "modern glass" would cut nearly all uv light, while it requires nearly 50 meters of water to block it.

Of course not all that might be true, but as far as I know, it is pretty accurate.
I thought that works wherein you inform someone at the beginning of the call so they have the chance to "opt out" (by hanging up)? Like how all support calls go.
Right now, I've set up my Pi-Hole at home with this curated whitelist: https://github.com/anudeepND/whitelist

The old saw that any publicity is good publicity isn't true. Tesla being in the news because their leader is committing securities fraud and acting increasingly erratic isn't helping the brand anymore than Coca Cola being in the news for giving people food poisoning.
Even if they are recycled, it’s still an enormous waste of energy.

I mean: they package 2 strands of thyme in a tiny little plastic bag. They have these tiny plastic boxes with a spoonful of sauce.

No recycling program is capable of reusing that kind of stuff efficiently and even if they could, it’s still simply an unnecessary luxury.
BA can execute at 100% and they will still not get around the fact that they are selling groceries + additional food packaging services and neither the grocery business nor packaging has ever had real margins to speak of in the past 30 years.
"There are powerful people who'd like to see Musk fail" and "Musk doesn't do himself any favors calling people pedos and whatnot" can both be true.
Its a quick intro to computability theory. There is a progression of more and more complicated 'machines' on the way from Finite Automata towards Turing Machines. This article goes over what types of things each machine can and can't solve. Its more of a theoretical topic than a practical one (and why you'll occasionally see silly things like someone implementing a turing machine in powerpoint to show that powerpoint could compute anything)
I offer my server to some friends and family in the military who want access to stuff from home. I often wonder how their activity shapes what the collection companies think of my household. Do they think 20 people live here? Do they think the household income is that of many adults?

Also, it would be really cool if there was a P2P exchange for services like this. With Netflix et al blocking IPs from VPNs and VPSs there must be a large market for VPNs egressing from residential IPs.
I have been running a pi-hole server in my home for almost a year now, and I love it. We usually have around 30 devices (including IoT devices), and have never had any issues. Adding/removing sites, disabling (when necessary), updating...its all there and very easy to operate. The logs are just ok, and the blacklist/whitelist is handy.

It was quick and easy to setup on an existing Ubuntu server install.

That's fairly minuscule, really. Short sellers can't make Musk bash the SEC or call people pedos; that's on him.

Their plot to trick Musk into agreeing to the terms of a legal settlement with the SEC and then breaking those same terms was fiendishly clever.

You know. Them.
My point is only a robot could adjust their behavior that fast to 100% comply with the SEC agreement.
And add to that pollution caused by large trucks. Some are literally hard to follow behind due to the cloud of poison they are fuming all over.

Everyone's talking about it but nobody did it, so I did.

The actual settlement notice says "put in place additional controls and procedures to oversee Musk’s communications" which appeared to happen in this case. [1]

Also, since the 500,000 number was already public and referring only to Model 3s, it's entirely plausible that 500,000 total cars for the year is not material. The SEC conveniently leaves out this exculpatory evidence.

Things I've learned while trying to bootstrap my own SaaS
It sounded to me like a pipelining architecture similar to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instruction_pipelining with a thread pool per stage?
Right - we need holistic scheduling systems that balance all resources and tasks. For example scheduling an IO heavy-task alongside a compute-heavy task and letting them both run well, rather than picking two compute-heavy tasks at the same time, and only scheduling as many tasks as there is RAM, IO, and other resource capacity for to use productively. Lots of people are trying because at data-centre scale and with serverless that lets you run code wherever they want this could be a huge advantage... not sure how much success yet.

Depending on what you're doing, a webapp is a great way to deal with the portability issue
I have the exact same problem, I've tried many things over the last 10 years and the solution you're using is (imo) by far the easiest, most flexible and robust. It feels hacky but it just works. If you want some interactivity (different graphs in tabs for example) you can just add some jquery or bootstrap - basically a serverless SPA (real serverless, not the 'cloud hosted' thing they call 'serverless' nowadays). I have 'apps' for recipe management, investing, and food forest design that work this way (the food forest one even incorporates Sketchup 3d models and generates a clickmap that lets you click on 2d renders of 3d models to let you interactively select areas using the canvas api - so yes you can make it as complicated as you want, but the easy things remain easy).
When I'm in the market for a $50-$100K car with a depreciation lifespan of 7+ years which requires ongoing factory-provided service for its netire lifespan, I'm not excited to become aware of a car company whose founder/CEO behaving erratically in ways that make the government threaten to trigger a collapse of the company.

If the SEC were not following through with any other company, I would question their competence and charter. I would be interested in why you think TSLA in particular is being picked on here. I'll prime the conversation by saying that I see the facts as being an agreement where Musk agreed to not do $THAT, and turned right around and did $THAT, where the definition of $THAT can be agreed upon by the vast majority of people.

I did not quote, but I did address "Make the alternatives better than driving."

You have things completely backwards, first you want to make everyone miserable, then hopefully they'll fix things.

> retrofitting car-oriented development to be viable for non-car users is exceptionally difficult.

It's actually not about retrofitting, it's because cars are just that good. Nothing else comes close.

> unless we begin by acknowledging that cars won’t scale up any farther

They'll scale just fine if we space out our cities a bit more.

It's actually pretty self balancing, when we run out of road space, people spread out a bit more. So there's no scaling issues, there's plenty of space in the world.

I mean if your goal is to pack people in like livestock then it doesn't scale, but that's not something I want.

> and that we have to redirect our efforts into things that will.

Such as? So far nothing exists. And I'm not just saying that. I tried it. I exclusively used public transportation for 1.5 months, in a city that is world renounced for probably the best public transportation of anywhere. (There was literally nowhere you couldn't go with public transportation.)

It was horrible. I feel really bad for anyone who has to use public transportation.

That's the reality.

If you want change, change that first. You won't need to tax cars off the road, they'll leave on their own.
Probably you misunderstood what I meant.

What I mean is we have lists of capabilities that AGI needs to have and know how it differs from narrow AI. For example: online continuous learning, perception, generalization, transferring skills between domains, etc. These aspects of the _what_ (rather than how) of AGI have been well researched.
I wasn’t claiming that they don’t have distinct feature sets; WASM for example can’t currently do any kind of shared memory concurrency, let alone provide a GC with shared memory concurrency. The claim that it’s just a recapitulation of the JVM however is equally innacurate. Nobody would seriously consider running multiple mutually-untrusted JVM programs in the same process, but WASM is offered in that manner in every major browser.

That said, nothing stops a WASM embedder from offering system calls, and you can already use whatever system resources you want via Node as easily as you can use the DOM in a browser.

From the 8-K that same day:

> In total, we are expecting to deliver 360,000 to 400,000 vehicles in 2019, representing a growth of approximately 45% to 65% compared to 2018.

The only sane interpretation is that Musk was referring to the potential market size to build on Deepak's statement.

If Musk was referring to anticipated 2019 Model 3 production/sales, then their 8-K guided for 360-400k total vehicles, and Musk on the call a few hours later guided for 450-600k vehicles (assuming historical S/X sales). Which would be nuts.
I believe this is the solution he labeled "Public Funding". If we could get legislation passed to move some of the money going to subsidizing fossil fuel into clean energy that could be quite powerful.
When you spend money on a Google product, half of the money goes to buy hovercars for the founder. Does that make it bad spend?

Komen does nothing of value except give people expensive happy feelings. It's not in the same league.

It was fun for this investor when I sold calls not too long ago after Musk's last meltdown. Probably not fun for the buyer of that contract who exercised and is now $30/share in the hole.
Consumer Reports tends to rate heavily on things I don't much care about, like initial reliability (which for most modern products is more than fine) while almost ignoring things like ACTUAL performance and ergonomics.
Because Tesla, as a company, is actually majority owned by the shareholders that make up 80+% of the company.

The paper suggests convergent evolution as a reason for simularity in phenotype with respect to African pygmies. I find this unlikely, unless they are referring only to stature.

A more parsimonious explanation would be that, their phenotype has just been carried over from their initial out of Africa ancestors, and there were no evolutionary pressures causing it to change much from the basal state.

That's pretty cool, but they should really lock down outbound requests. You can send arbitrary curl requests to the public internet from their IP addresses (which are located in GCP). I'm not sure about mapping out the internal network, but that at least gives you a reliable proxy through Google Cloud.
It's amazing how much that mess of cables either wasn't solved or wasn't solved by USB. My power, network, sound and display cables weren't replaced by USB, my printer was replaced by a phone/tablet. It replaced the PS2 ports for keyboard and mouse, saving about 2 seconds of setup time at the cost of more latency.

It his (or has been) handy for connecting gadgets and drives over the years, but maybe we should go back to PS2 and just use it USB for "front of the machine" ports.
I agree entirely.

I wasn't trying to say "you should have linked this instead", just trying to point anyone who sees this and goes "that's an issue in my code" in the right direction.
I agree, that Musk is hiding something, one that would seriously hamper his reputation. I think it might have to do something with the Solar City acquisition.

He doesn't want to admit he fucked up and failed because it would cast doubt on all his other half-baked ideas.

Tesla will definitely feel the pressure from other car manufacturers, but so far it has nothing much to worry about as the only really viable game changer as of now is the Hyundai Kona Electric. The new Audi e-tron was promising but ruined it with using electric mirrors which require your eyes to focus on far objects and near objects unlike a normal mirror, and heavy steel frame, which pretty much negates any excellent regen (due to heavy weight).

The Jaguar i-Pace is also a good alternative, but I feel like Hyundai's Kona E is an unbeatable value. Forget Chevy Bolt & Nissan Leaf....garbage.

The model 3 is seriously bad....did you see the interior? it's empty....its completely void apart from the giant tablet thing....the price is it's killing point.....now that there are are viable alternatives.
The Rancher folks showed it running on a raspberry Pi and it was only using 30% of one of 4 cores or similar. I don't think it would let your laptop go fully asleep, but shouldn't consume too much power if it's awake.

For a trivial CRUD app, the dev can just re-use one they already wrote, no need to learn this layer you've created ... and for a complex CRUD app or something more complicated than that, you're going to need to write real code anyway, so who is the customer?

Why would I as a Python, JavaScript, or Ruby webdev learn your layer, which is at risk of disappearing in a bankruptcy? What will my investment of developer hours look like in 2 years on your platform, if it's still around?

Is it basically only useful for web stuff?
Of course. It's a security nightmare.
Fascinating. I see what you're saying: these thick pieces of wood, perpetually saturated for decades but open to the air on one side, with the gas diffusion that entails, are possibly homes to whole ecosystems. A world of microflora in each plank, and probably very complex chemical dynamics between the wood walls and the stuff inside. I think the article said there are differences in taste even between the different barrels. Also that Kikkoman was unable to replicate the process. Makes perfect sense now.

That thing you said about the brewery trying to transfer their microbiome to a new facility -- I've heard something similar about sourdough bakeries: that each is colonized by a unique population of bugs that results in a unique character of bread. It's a wild, wonderful idea to me.

The press release isn't the full detailed set of conditions.

I don't know that the contract is publicly released, but https://www.theverge.com/2018/10/16/17983032/elon-musk-sec-s... says:
