What does "new car company" and "vehicle lifetime, maintenance, service quality" have to do with price?

Btw, this isn't just Tesla, it's Elon Musk. SpaceX also lowered their prices, and forced all other competitors (old companies) to lower theirs as well!
I did buy a brand new diesel Jetta in 2016 that appreciated past retail in value when the company was forced to do buybacks :)

There is a really fascinating (IMHO) podcast about the use of modern DNA analysis and the insights into ancient populations on the After-On podcast with David Reich
https://after-on.com/episodes-31-60/034
Up until podcast, I didnt even know there was a branch called Denisovans. Although not generally a big interest of mine, I found it interesting enough to read Reich's book which was a fascinating detective story and a very new view onto ancient history.

In Spain, dealers struggling to meet their annual sales targets will register a car and give it plates in order to hit their targets, and those cars are known as 0km cars.

They sell at a ~10% discount to new cars. They're a day old and haven't rolled off the lot yet.

Hi, Support Engineering Manager here, who has forgone Dev for a career in Support.

In a small company (<10), yes, do this, everyone will level up, and you'll get extreme customer focus.

As companies grow 2 things that I think are really more valuable:

- Support Engineers, These are folks that have commit access and can write fixes, who are focused directly on customers. Don't distract product from new features, Support Engineers can fix low hanging bugs, (button states weird/form is weird, error messages wrong, etc, etc), and then funnel harder or product-changing bugs to product. For every 10 devs, I think you should have 1 Support Engineer.

- LISTENING to your support team. I always see companies and people doing the "uhm, oh yeah, we should totally all jump in and do support to better understand it" but really, it's like, trust and LISTEN to your support team, ask them what the most important thing to them is, and actually prioritize it.

It was extremely demoralizing when "holier than thou" devs came to do support and kicked and screamed for their week rotation. Sure, thats indicative of bad culture, but I promise you there are at least a few devs on your team who are this way right now. Let them be devs, instill a culture of trust and teamwork in different areas, and your company can scale and move fast.
At one of the companies I've worked for, the tech team can be directed a ticket or whatever to look at, but they respond to the customer service team, not the customer.
Having moved in the US several times, this looks like more like the difference between good movers and bad, regardless of country.

I've used the pack and move services in the US, and they came a week or two before to review and get an idea of the work then book a date. This meant they arrived with the correct number of men, trucks, and packing equipment. Specialist boxes for TVs, crockery, wardrobes, etc.

They packed everything (including everything in the fridge, bathrooms, etc). Even the years-old pickle jars at the back of the fridge, old bars of soap by the guest sinks, etc were carefully wrapped and packed.

The guys doing the job were incredible about moving heavy, complex furniture quickly, and efficiently. This included a couple of large (>100g) saltwater fishtanks. They broke it all down and put it back together with minimal oversight.

I've found movers typically offer a range of services - the full (pack, move, unpack), or just pack and move, or just move.
Reactive Hashing Explained
Sure they do. Check at your dealer late in the year and there's a good chance they'll have one or two early lease returns or "floor model" units sitting on the lot. If you compare the price of those ones to the ones of the same model year that are still brand new, you'll see a disparity.
I worked at a first-response call-center company where after each shift, they would go through the records that they processed that shift and manually count the number of high-priority incidents and various other metrics. They did this after each shift, taking about 15 minutes. For the last three years.

After my field visit I took it to the PO and we implemented these metrics in one sprint. With a single click they could print all import metrics about the last shift.
This is roughly what I meant - there are ways to end up with zero bugs, but writing tests is usually insufficient for achieving such a goal.
You're talking about two quite different layers. CRDT deals with "how could we replicate complex data with multiple writers and achieve eventual consistency in a distributed system?" (Problem #1)

Forwarding ports and so in is dealing with "how can we get people's devices and computers to use the Internet like it was intended to be used, where nodes can make arbitrary connections to each other, even though that Internet was long ago broken by NAT and firewalling?" (Problem #2)

The two only appear together because if you were interested in solving Problem #2 then you probably also have Problem #1.

A must-read for future OS designers...
> When your back two tires hit the road outside of the dealership, the car is instantly worth 20% less.

No longer the case. After cash for clunkers, the used market is much more expensive than it used to be. If you're looking at reliable brands like Toyota/Honda a two-three year old (ex-lease?) model isn't even 20% off, and that has 15-20K miles on it.

There's a reason why so many people are buying new, the used market is strange/irrational for some brands. And new vehicle incentives/lower APR loans/safety features etc make it a hard call.

People should go check out a no-negotiation dealership (e.g. Carmax). You'll be surprised at current used prices compared to new.

Is it possible to buy cars that are "almost new"?
Sure, at a cost. Actual friends and immediate family? I'm covered in 20 people or less. Most wouldn't call, though, since I moved across an ocean.

I could include folks I've been to school with, folks I met in language class, a few folks I've worked with, and so on. I don't want all of these folks to call me, though, and I*d rather some didn't have my number. I also don't fully dislike these folks.

More seriously, though, it would keep my social circle smaller. I met my spouse online around 10 years ago, and this sort of caution you ask about would mean I wouldn't have my life.

Which brings me to the PSA: Your books go in book boxes (1 foot cubes).

Do not put your books in small boxes. Do not put your books in medium boxes. For the love of god, do not put your books in large boxes.

Yes, if you have a lot of books you'll end up with 50 or 100 book boxes. No, that's a good thing.

> 50% on a ~$200,000 car is... significant

It's a luxury car.

It's not an investment. It's not a necessity. The money that was "lost" was already spent on hedonistic value. (In any case, Teslas can be returned within a number of days of purchase. The individual who bought five days before the price drop is almost certainly within that window.)
To contrast, when the XBOX first released, IIRC you couldn't even create an online account if you were under 18... I'm pretty sure most of the accounts were lying at that time.
I was curious about that too. I know there were some WireGuard/OpenVPN benchmarks a while back. It'd be interesting to see these technologies compared for speed.
This works both ways. Once I took a job with a large software house who put me in support for my first 3 months (to learn the system :-) It was the worst software I had ever seen. Customers were calling in with problems that had been solved by everyone else 10 years prior. We had over 5,000 open bug tickets. And most of the programmers who had written them were still there, spewing out technical debt faster than ever (now that they were agile lol).

I couldn't even make it the 3 months. They didn't either. Their customers' lawyers were more agile than they were.
My last two cars I sold after a year of ownership for about 3% less than I paid. In the most recent case I sold the car for just $500 less than I purchased it for as a new car with 20,000 miles on it.

Go price out used cars that are a year or two old and then price out an invoice less holdback purchase on a new car.

I often listen in to support calls when I'm on Skype with my business partner (I'm the dev, he's the sales / support / biz owner); this isn't planned, but happens because he's the only one who can take the calls. There isn't a single call I haven't learned something from, or (more positively) haven't had an idea on how to improve the product from. I've also learned a lot of respect for him as someone who not only keeps his cool with a (admittedly!) sometimes grumpy dev, but oftentimes grumpy customers.

The attitude towards Baofeng handsets annoys me somewhat. I've had both of mine on an SA and they were absolutely fine.

What tends to happen I reckon is that the end user runs it into a cheap antenna or mismatch and nukes the LPF, something which can happen to a $500 Yaesu HT if you're an idiot.

But the gatekeeping is strong in amateur radio. Annoyingly so.
It should be noted that this implementation has been in production since last Summer and is powering the Firewall Rules ( https://blog.cloudflare.com/how-we-made-firewall-rules/ ) engine today.

This was one of the first major components to use Rust at our edge and we've been really happy with it.

The flexibility this approach (to matching traffic) has given us... whilst we also get the speed, memory safety... is just great. The speed at which we're iterating on the firewall and other systems that use this is a joy to behold. A lot of that speed derives from the confidence in this component.

We're also really pleased that whilst we have several proposals for optimisations, none have yet needed to be prioritised as the performance is great.
The truth is though that everyone is using biometrics to log into their device which controls everything from emails, to password managers and 2FA codes. Does it mean if your fingerprint gets compromised that you'll be unable to use the biometric feature of any device for the rest of your life?

It's a good point which you raise, but ultimately biometrics will be the best way to authenticate someone. It might have to evolve and get smarter and better, but one day if someone is able to reproduce all your unique attributes of who you are then nothing will probably hold them back to reset your password manager, email and what not either. They will socially engineer whatever they need and even when a human will verify that you are you they will probably be able to provide enough believable evidence at which point it doesn't matter anymore if they hacked a biometric login or socially engineered your password manager.
How do you handle the person who’s taking a lot more time off than others?

I don't understand miscommunications like this between employer and employee.

I think the employer needs a more specific solution than "unlimited vacation" if the concern about fixed-allowance leave was a lack of flexibility for shit-happens situations.

I'd be curious about "compensated for work done".

DeepMind StarCraft Explained by Siraj Raval
That what happened when DevOps started to mean “we don’t need an ops team, the devs can do it”.
But it really isn't - not for a kid without any knowledge of programming.

When I was a kid (1984) - it was "plug the computer into the TV, turn it on, start coding (in BASIC)"

Today - a kid would have to first:

1. Start up computer, wait for it to boot (or tablet, whatever)
2. Log in (maybe)
3. Start up browser.
4. ???

That's where they would be - they'd have no concept of "dev tools" or what it is for. Long before then, they'd be sucked into some other time waster most likely. It would take an adult to show them what and where dev tools was, and then it's a long hard slog from that point.

Back in 1984 - it really was much simpler. Ok - well, from zero you'd have to read the manual that came with the computer, but most of the manuals jumped right into coding in BASIC, and could get you going quickly.

Then there was the plethora of computer programming magazines that you could purchase:

https://archive.org/details/computermagazines

...and today, most of them available; oh if we only had that resource back then!

But we did have a lot - plus books, BBS's (for the lucky with a modem and phone), user groups...

Today, it is nowhere near as easy to start out - not for someone with -zero- knowledge. However, if they can get over that hump - then a grand world can open for them, with the right mentoring...

While I see your argument, I think your bar for "basic right" is perhaps a little too high:

Life: people die every day in the US. In some cases, the government even kills them!

Liberty: We put people in jail

Speech: Incitement to riot; slander

Press: Libel; national security

Religion: If your religion includes e.g. human sacrifice you certainly won't be free to practice it.

And so forth.
They have it timeboxed to 30m a week (month?). That should prevent constant interruptions.

It’s not like they’re making everyone true combo support/dev people. Just giving devs an occasional taste.

That's the market, you can't buy premium cars, the epitome of consumerism and status symbolism, and ask for social justice when something happens.

We're not talking about medicine, food or other basic human needs here, we're talking about a car that costs 100 times the yearly minimum wage of some countries. Luxury isn't a right.

I'd like to see the same people reacting to a price increase, they'd probably be just as virulent on twitter, but boasting instead of complaining.
Sadly in many companies that’s as close as they’ll ever be allowed to get.
I can empathize with the anger over a price reduction when you just bought a product. I bought a truck and a month later, the dealership had an additional 5k in rebates. Same happens when you buy an expensive tv, and a couple months later, the price drops by 1-2k. Technology products are constantly becoming cheaper through innovation and to satisfy supply/demand economics.. why is a tesla any different?

If you bought a tesla for resale value, you are doing it wrong. Buying a tesla helps the environment, furthers innovation, and provides a status symbol.
