> unless your phone is really old and unpatched

The rate of CVEs an android, combined with the sheer number of manufacturers who are slow about updates or just never deliver any, means that unpatched devices are nothing like the rarity that this statement suggests.
What does string theory have to do with the proof of the Poincare conjecture? This is the first I've heard that there was any link there.
The bulb likely also stores the BSSID of your AP, which can be used in a location API to get a position. So it's actually trivial.
Indeed: Usually I make test drives when deciding which car to buy, not to ensure my choice was the right one. When people can't test drive a Tesla, they aren't going to go "well, I can always return it". They're going to buy the best car they test drive.

While helping someone pick a car recently, we test drove two different models of car from the same company multiple times as well, to decide which one was the right one. It's not like Tesla's going to send out a Model 3, a Model S, and a Model X and let me try all three.
A few dozen air bursts over India and Pakistan would not start any sort of nuclear winter. It would kill hundreds of millions directly and indirectly and crush the global economy, and cause immeasurable suffering. But global temps would likely be barely affected.
Kids lack the same free speech rights as adults who don't have to live under a guardian's authority though. If you have open floodgates there will invariably be contradictions and conflict, when a little bit of Reason could avoid much of that. Reason along the lines that the owners of even the biggest online platforms are not themselves magically entitled to all datum.

I'm not trying to be prickly here, but I've thought quite a lot about freedoms of speech, and I believe for it to concisely work, it cannot unto itself guarantee an audience, as that would still be mandating opinion, only in the other direction. It can provide legal protections, but not protections from social ramifications, as again, this would be mandating opinion one way or the other. We can live in a free society without that freedom meaning I can help myself to my neighbor's wife. THAT is nuance.

Do the other manufacturers include this in their base price advertisements?
Moreover, the 3 now costs less to own than Accords or Camry's, about the same as a Corolla. 1,000,000 of those 3 (combined) were sold in 2018.

That's huge.
>It can be somewhat misleading at times but I get the rationale.

“Somewhat misleading”? Acting as though money saved on gas reduces your purchase price somehow is just straight up lying. The car still costs $35k when you sign on the dotted line, gas costs don’t factor into that at all. If you want to talk how much it’ll cost you after n years of ownership, talking about gas costs is perfectly valid. Purchase price though?
buying a $35,000 Tesla has the equivalent cost of ownership of buying a $26,950 ICE car. It's not a massive amount of mental gymnastics.

I definitely don't agree with Teslas practices of framing it that way, I'd rather they just show cost of ownership comparisons across a variety of cars. Especially since they can't even meet the demand they currently have, why resort to shady practices?
Do they have the audio in a different format than MP3? MP3 is really garbage and introduces weird biases for voice.
Certainly makes it hard to shop around between multiple cars. What do they expect you to do, buy each car, in turn. Return all of them within 7 days. Then re-purchase the one you preferred?
They all know that anybody can just go on Sci-Hub and get most research.

My local city library offers several "legal" free access sites to published journals - - if you have 20 minutes to wade through all the ridiculous BS on the computer trying to discover if the article is even available.

Sci Hub takes me 25 seconds and 85 to 90% of what I need is right there.

I was wondering what on earth all the top commenters were talking about! Thanks.
So do I.

Test-driving is the only reason dealerships even needs to exist. Unfortunately even most vehicle renters only stock a handful of models (typically less expensive trims).

Online sellers need to get together and open up test drive locations. They don't sell from there, just let you figure out what you'll order online.
By that standard, they should also incorporate an amortized cost of battery replacement in the price.

> sending them to some of the best (albeit pressure-filled) public schools in the country

Nope.

https://www.niche.com/k12/search/best-public-high-schools/

Gunn just misses the top 20, PA just misses the top 50. Everything else is further down, and those are expensive places to live even by SV standards. Several states/areas, notably IL, do much better for a fraction of the cost. My daughter attends #56, in what is considered an expensive town hereabouts, and that's still about 1/3 what I'd pay to live in SV.

Those are fine schools, but if you're paying SV prices for the sake of your kids' education, you're making a bad choice.
It's not a cop-out, we disagree.

> Nor is finding "common ground" the goal (this is not some sort of compromise between political parties, it's a technical argument).

We disagree. When there is a disagreement, finding what you agree with the the first step in finding where the lines of reasoning diverge. Finding common ground is the first step in resolving differences.

> Getting things right is the goal.

Sometimes in software there are judgement calls. Maybe this is one of them, maybe our definitions differ. Sometimes definitions differ because of context or experience. In each case, the terms used are not right or wrong, they are definitions that are useful in the context.

> For which, sometimes one party or the other may have to admit they are wrong - including me.

This is not an "I'm right, you're wrong" situation. By my experience, in my context, what you wrote would be called a "shell solution" in the same sense as the original command-line solution would be called a "shell solution."

You think that invoking AWK from the command line means that it's still a command-line script. Your definition of the terms means that you accept that invoking AWK still lets you call it a "shell solution."

I think that is fundamentally and structurally different from using command line utilities such as tr, sed, sort, and uniq.

So my position is clear - your solution that you call "shell" is not, in my opinion, just "shell". To me, your solution is an AWK solution, and you feed the output from your AWK program through shell utilities.

You are using the terms in a manner that is different from how I'm using them, that much is now clear.

Do you agree that you have written a shell script that invokes a program written in AWK?

Would it be different if you wrote a shell script that invoked a C program by calling a C interpreter? Would you still call it a "shell solution to the problem?"

Does it matter? Really? I've made clear why I've said that I don't class your solution as being shell, why do you care?
People like to abuse and overuse the cliche about “drinking the Kool-Aid,” but this right here is a great example of when it is warranted. This feeling you’re having is the result of not having taken “crazy pills” in the first place; it’s the feeling of looking at a cult from the outside.

To be clear, I like the Model S and appreciate what Tesla has done to popularize EVs in some circles, but that’s not a ticket to be bonkers. Shady practices, obscene waits, hellish repair schedules, broken promises and a CEO who just can’t shut his mouth to save his life... it is very weird.
In many countries e.g. Australia this would be illegal.

It's completely unethical.

I guess computers should be considered free given that they enable so much productivity.
Makes me think of Rich Rebuilds on YouTube and his saga of trying to buy a Tesla online. Total nightmare.
That...is actually quite clever. Convenience of the command line, with the expressive power of Ruby. Nice.
nope, but they also allow me to negotiate. I cannot negotiate with tesla.com

Also, 1.2k is a LOT of fee! Boardwalk and Momentum (two large dealerships here in norcal) both try to charge doc fees around $400, not 1.2 kilodollars!

Eh, no more shady than what standard dealerships do when they advertise that it's just $199/mo* and then there's some unusually high acquisition fee or an APR credit offset that applies to MSRP. Or when they offer you a 4yr/50k mile service agreement, but in the fine print it's actually a special dealership version of the service agreement that's essentially a coupon book tied to that dealership offered by some third party and good nowhere else. It's hard to buy a car without getting at least slightly cheated.

The price w/gas savings included at least makes it easier to compare against standard petrol vehicles.

It's kind of hard to rip on Tesla when the standard dealership model is nothing but shady advertising and sleazy sales tactics. They could get rid of the asterisk mark / learn more link and it would still somehow be more honest than going to any car dealership in the United States.

Sometimes I feel like Tesla gets judged in a vacuum. Kinda weird.
It makes no sense either way.

CapEx and OpEx are different animals.
Thanks. For me it's easy to set it up. And I know that there is lot of people out there, who would love to have peace of mind, but don't know how to do it on their own.

Anchoring. It's a negotiation tactic since most purchases are through negotiation.

Also the same with the advertised monthly leasing prices that you see on commercials - all subject to credit and other circumstances.

In principle, the decentralized nature of git means that you don't really have to do this sort of thing. Just clone and be done.

But in practice, I do often find myself browsing my own code on GitHub for a variety of reasons:

- I'm in their office at their machine, but didn't bring my laptop.

- I'm traveling and want to talk about something with someone (I travel with a separate laptop).

- I'm half way through a big refactor and want to go back and see what master looks like. I know how to do this without GH/GL, but the simplest way to do that is to just pull up GH.

In all of these cases, and others, it's far easier to just pull up the file on github than it is to clone the repo locally.

So, given that we do sometimes want to browse our code remotely, the author then provides the (rather niche) criteria that make this a better solution than GH/GL:

"By serving a repo behind an FTP interface, we get these benefits:

- Web browser supported but not required

- Minimized network traffic, sending just the file data itself

- Supported on all platforms, with dozens of clients already written

- Support for both the command line and GUI"

Agree with you that this is a fairly niche set of criteria, but I could at least imagine myself in an environment where this could be a useful tool.
Thanks for clarifying.

The security risks of WebGL has been discussed for years, so as concerning as it is that's not what I'm interested in.

If you as the developer of a web application need the power of a GPU, then aside from graphics my question is why?

The power draw of GPUs isn't trivial and the vast majority of browsers are hand-held devices.

Aside from minimalist sites like hacker news, websites already drain my phone's battery very quickly.

If it's meant for desktops, then to what end?
Quiet nice to have a curated list of compilers available.
However I think the pain starts when it comes to compiling libraries and programs, where the buildsystem is not designed to be cross-compiled.
In nixpkgs, where have now also cross-compile support, we had to add quiet a few patches and little fixes to some libraries.
Yeah, Jeff Skiles's comment got a lot of replies and he replied to some of them. This spontaneous AMA thing was definitely valuable, made the guy even more approachable!

Cramming everything into one flat thread has already been done in phpbb and works for small threads but big threads get into issues when you are not interested in every part of the discussion but only some.
Perhaps not yet. If the colonization is mostly post-1990s (like the GP suggests), then it seems reasonable to insist that the colonists themselves leave. They're not innocent. It's only when you get to later generations, children and grandchildren that didn't choose to be born where they were, that it gets complicated to the point that there are no good solutions.
That’s not a bad way of phrasing it

I'm not sure if it has been fully appreciated how big of a differentiator this is for Tesla and how difficult it will be for the other auto-makers to shake the dealership model.
Holy hell, those rates are absolutely insane...
The vast majority of people buying a Tesla today will never need to replace the battery. The chemistry used in electric vehicle battery packs these days have much better longevity than what you see in most other lithium-ion cells.
Uyghur language isn't banned in China, it's part of all the signs and official documentation. There are more Uyghur-Chinese documentations, dictionaries and references than in the West as explained in this document's preface. It is easier to practice Uyghur in China than in the West as again referenced in the document because there are less resources in the West or specifically the English-speaking world.

Should be noted that Uyghur is not descended off Old Uyghur but rather the Karluk languages. Yugur is the descendant of Old Uyghur.

In British Columbia you can get $5k incentive for an electric vehicle plus $5k if you destroy your ICE car. I believe you need to own it for 6 months

So about $36k net CAD for the base Model 3
So presumably they are hoping many $35k buyers will be tempted by the $37k which presumably has a better margin for Tesla
Does that circumvent some state laws that demand selling cars through dealerships?

Also does Tesla still have Tesla branded "service shop" to do car delivery/return/refund/service?
It cannot be a magnet link. And I think you are confusing client-server with peer-to-peer communications. What can be done without touching git is some software running locally doing peer-to-peer and speaking git's protocol, git can then use local ip address as a remote.
Maybe you could shoehorn it into running on IBM's Q platform. They let you run circuits in real hardware and give you back the statistics on the measurements.

> Moreover, the 3 now costs less to own than Accords or Camry's

Over what time period? The $35k Tesla is the base model, and a base Accord looks to be $23k. And you can probably negotiate that down a little, which I doubt you can do with Tesla. That price difference buys you a _lot_ of gas.

The Tesla Return Policy is detailed here: https://www.tesla.com/support/tesla-return-policy?redirect=n...

Notably:

> We will accept your vehicle for return if the vehicle:
Has an odometer mileage of less than 500 miles at the time of return;

> ...Is in new condition, without damage or abnormal wear and tear...

> To return the vehicle, you will need to deliver the vehicle (including all original equipment and any parts and accessories that came with the vehicle, including the mobile connector kit) to us at a Tesla Sales or Delivery Location (or other location that we agree to), and complete a vehicle inspection...

...but these terms describe a 1-day process for test-driven vehicles and 3-day process for not-test-driven vehicles, so it looks like they haven't updated the page yet with their new return policy.

Regardless, it looks like they're planning to just eat any costs from returned vehicles. They're probably gambling that the people serious enough to complete a purchase for one of their cars aren't likely to return it full of grease stains, french fry smell, and 900 miles later.

You can choose to publish open access conference papers through IEEE but you have to pay around $2000 (I forget if it was USD or AUD). I'm not sure about the exact costs for an open access Journal paper though. That said, IEEE don't prevent you from listing your own paper on your own website (in it's accepted form, not published form) provided you link the correct DOI and include the reference.
Was this like a wysiwyg editor for badly performing web applications?
I can’t easily find a description of how this partnership works, but I think “Panasonic makes batteries in Tesla’s building, and Tesla packs them together for use in their cars” is a better description.

If so, I would expect at least some of that better margin will flow into Panasonic’s pockets (what part, I wouldn’t dare even guess)
I have hit similar problems multiple times in the past. So I'd be happy if there was a standard git server that is worth its name. SVN did that part right by using WebDAV, so any HTTP client is enough to grab a the contents of a file from there. It is a shame that git doesn't have anything sinilar out of the box almost 20 years later. Even hg has an embedded http that can provide this.
Look into OpenCog - there's some sheaf-theoretic NLP stuff going on there. There's a recent high-level overview by Linas Vepstas you can find on the ArXiv somewhere. There's a project called SheafSystem also, which is a sheaf-based database for scientific computing (I've never used it). I have some ideas I'm working on in this area also (not affiliated with these parties in any way, and the ideas are not ready to share yet, unfortunately.

What's your background, out of curiosity?
It is a huge problem in this space, we see that. We also believe that transparency and data democratisation is a huge draw for users.
I think everyone is aware nowadays that if a product is free, you, are in someway the product.

One of the things we wanted to achieve with our Reward product is that users not only know that we are collecting data but can actively monitor what data we are receiving from their device. Most importantly they can see a independently verifiable 1-1 relationship of rewards for each days worth of data sent.

It isn't much in the grand scheme of things but your data has value, you could argue that this data is payment for such "Free" services such as Facebook and Google - but transparency of this is important.

I really like what Brave and BAT is doing for turning the advertising paradigm around - part of me thinks that it is against human nature and it won't work but we literally have an entire generation of people who do things for "Likes" or "Upvotes" so maybe I am just wrong (I hope I am!)
> What do they expect you to do, buy each car, in turn. Return all of them within 7 days. Then re-purchase the one you preferred?

No, they expect you to buy all of them in parallel and return all but the one you want.

I mean, it’s the model lots of people have been using with clothing since online discount retailers with generous return policy started undercutting brick-and-mortar.
I am reminded that we are still doing a distributed web all wrong. We don't need comments sections

Bear with me for a moment - but PageRank is the start of the problem. It's basically measuring link distance from Stanford University web site - the closer you are the more juice you get. But it assumes that a single domain is a single publisher (and so all articles on a given site should get the same google juice - the same rising tide)

But facebook (and many many other sites) lend their domains google juice to all comers - so that if you rationally want greatest reach (ie highest rank in search engine) you publish not on your domain but on facebooks (or medium etc).

But this leads to many unintended consequences- the facebook moderation problem being one.

it if we see facebook not as a monolith but as firstly a web space provider, then a indexer over that webspace and then a algorithmic feed provider, we see dramatically different ways of dealing with the problem - if we should give people webspace to put their kids pictures and share them (facebooks main use case arguably) then "normally" that space would be under the users own domain.

So why not have a more granular pagerank? Why not have google assign juice to facebook.com/paulbrian seperate to juice assigned to facebook.com/paulgraham.

Then we see no reason to host the webpages under facebook.com - if I need to "earn" my google juice just as i would on a normal domain it's no benefit

I see comments sections in a similar vein - having my comments stored on youtube es pages / domain is just not how it should be - they are my comments so they go
on my server / web space and they link up to the video

That way google juice tells us which people are worth reading and which are hate filled garbage - based on their reputation.

I need to flesh this out some
more but we do seem to have gone wrong
