Aside from cherry-picked anecdotes, go ahead and research it -- depreciation information isn't too hard to find. A run of the mill Toyota or Honda will depreciate maybe 15% in the first year, then the rate goes down significantly in the following years. Still worth more than 50% of original price at five years.

Yes, if you try to trade it in right after you buy it you are going to get bent over, but you could put it on the used market for a couple grand below what you paid and as long as you didn't overpay to begin with it will sell quickly.
It's all in the same domain as a new car company doing 'new' things. Tesla is experimenting with every facet of its company process. Sales, maintenance, production, etc. If I were an owner I wouldn't expect anything to stay the same except the company's goals.
1. Invite support to product/eng meetings where you are prioritizing. Add them to the agenda by default so it's natural to expect them to speak. This is huge and helpful.

2. Consider baking in "Support gets a MINIMUM of X things" on priority. Tough conversations will be had, but support/product/engineering will learn how to get what each other need. This one falls apart and "when the going gets tough". Support gets the short end of the stick usually. (That's why I advocate for a Support Engineer, so those things don't even need to leave support, they just get fixed and when support speaks, the teams know it's big.)

3. Make sure whomever is heading support knows what other stakeholders need to see, so they can deliver. Some would call this "data driven" but in some orgs, "data" is just 3 angry users.

4. We currently use this term "Stable Counterparts" and that's vital, figure out who should regularly be talking to support and about what, and once that relationship forms, things get smoother. Until then, support will be yelling into a void.
That looks great! Any plan to run on macOS?
by allowing them to deduct local taxes from national taxes

That has already been addressed, to some extent. The most recent tax bill capped the deduction to $10k.
>It seems a very bad sign that a large project in the USA is so difficult

It's not just this one project, it's all the infrastructure in the US. It's horrifically expensive to build (compared to countries like Germany and Japan, which themselves are not low-cost-of-living places), it takes forever to build, there's massive cost overruns, etc. America is really just politically broken and unable to build the infrastructure it needs to continue as a world-leading economy.
It's only 1$.

You cant make something like this in 8.2 mins considering minimum wage is 7.5$ in USA. Why make things for free anyway, people rarely appreciate things they get for free.
Why?

It isn't as if the $35k model 3 is a surprise.

If you're willing to wait, tech things tend to get cheaper over time, should I be annoyed that had I waited instead of getting a 486 with 8mb ram, I could have got something orders of magnitude faster, for an order of magnitude less?

These people for what ever reason didn't want to wait, they paid more, in return they got some extra months/years of use of a more exclusive machine.

That's the early adopter deal.

Plus as you say, if you bought a tesla for resale value, you are doing it wrong.
This will help with fraudulent copies of things like books, but what about utter fraud where they steal content and make fake books?

Disagree with your characterization but regardless, the tax reform passed in 2017 did most of this, capping state income and property tax deductions to $10k and also raising the standard deduction significantly, so most families won’t be itemizing anymore and can’t even take the $10k deduction.
"We"--and, err, California and New York are still amongst the highest federal payers, as is Massachusetts where I live--subsidize our social services and community investments because they actually have them to counterbalance the federal government's general indifference towards the ideas thereof (unless you're old and thus a reliable voter).

"You" can, too, do the same.

Or we, rather than "we", can do it at a federal level. Economies of scale exist, of course, and there's an efficiency argument to doing it (which is generally thwarted by spittle-flecking about federalism and states' rights, which, fine, but you don't get to have it both ways!). To a nontrivial degree this already happens; low-tax states generally rely on the particularly-bad implementations of many programs, including social safety nets, provided by the federal government. This is one reason why, to use the terms of art often favored by...certain populations, the taker states are low-tax and generally hew center-right to right-wing in policy, while the maker states are often more high-tax and generally more center-left in policy: because they will be backstopped by the systems that exists federally even as they campaign to gut it in their "little laboratory" of a state.

There exist approaches that don't penalize places that actually act as a more-or-less civic society for spending money to make that happen. Assuming one actually wants civic society to exist. Which I do. But I recognize that there are rather large forces in America who are upset by the idea.
Python is the key one you already mentioned - it has deterministic semantics and most other language do not.

Ruby also exposes parts of its GC, and allows it to be hooked by C extensions, so when I implemented it on top of the JVM I had to basically reimplement half of it in Java in order to implement those parts of the language.
FWIW, typical depreciation at five years is 45-55% (with 55% being an unpopular Chevy or FCA product, and 45% being a Toyota). 70% only happens to EVs (and in particular, compliance EVs), and sometimes it's far worse than that (looking at you, Fiat 500E).
Not sure why this is being down voted, it rings true to me. I happen to live in an area where the cost of living has skyrocketed and the cost of living is completely unaffordable for a single parent who wants anything other than a life of being poor. His experience may be valid, even if others live in more affordable regions.

You essentially have to be in the top 1% in some areas to even afford a house and be able to raise a family by yourself. And yes, I guess we could all move away from our family and friends, but not everyone can even afford it or wants to do that for various reasons.

One of these things is not like the others.
It's a double taxation thing. It's not like low-tax states don't have services. They simply rely on the federal government to provide them.

States that have low state and local taxes do so because the federal government subsidizes their low taxness.

States with higher local and state taxes are subsidizing the low-tax states. In addition, the higher-tax states are also more productive.

If anything, the argument should be that the federal government should stop providing so much assistance to low-tax states.

There are perverse incentives at work here, however. The Senate provides every state with the same amount of representation. So a state with a small population can choose not to tax itself much and simply rely on federal spending bills to cover a lot of its needs.

The SALT deduction has existed from the very beginning of the federal income tax. Part of its purpose is to incentivize states so that they don't simply stop spending their own money and pushing everything off onto the federal government:

"The Revenue Act of 1913, which introduced the federal income tax, states that 'all national, state, county, school, and municipal taxes paid within the year, not including those assessed against local benefits' can be deducted."
I see, thank you for the answer.
That's not a universal expectation. In Germany for example, it's typical to furnish your own appliances and to take them when you move.
I can't believe this would be a shock to anyone. How else does a first time home buyer come up with a 20% deposit on a $500,000 house? There are obviously exceptions, but generally speaking that's where the money comes from.

Money from inheritance and family grossly distorts the market. Anyone who takes money from family or inheritance should be ashamed of themselves unless that money is used for helping the less fortunate.

Edit: I should add that I had access to family assistance financially and chose to not take it. Which made my life significantly more difficult. So this is something I feel very passionately about. Those who take the money know it is wrong, because most of them will never admit publicly they took any money.
> California usually complains its taxed pop sends more money in than it receives in federal largesse.

This isn't incompatible with what I said.

California pays more than it receives, but less than it should given the benefits that it receives (and the agreed upon national tax rate).

It's good that SALT has been limited, and the investment that the US has made in certain urban environments (eg, founding Silicon Valley) will be properly distributed across the country instead of hoarded by the states where those investments were made.
I wouldn't argue it's very easy to get a SOT. It's not the most difficult thing in the world, but it's definitely non-trivial.

Well, the wealthy are also "subsidizing" the poor in America by paying more in taxes. Should we try to stop that as well?

Erlang's allocation pattern is markedly different than e.g. Java's, in no small part because it's completely impossible for an object to refer to a more recent allocation than itself. More generally, immutability-heavy language would have quite different needs than mutation-heavy ones.
Heh, yeah just moved ~2 years ago and some of the heaviest boxes were from our book cases even using the small boxes.

edit: small here meaning 1.5 ft^3.
At some point, I think so.

It's similar to a discussion I saw on here about Chrome adding a feature that you could use with a certain html attribute iirc, ie <div newattribute> or something.

Supposedly, nobody should have an attribute called 'newattribute' anywhere in their application, but that doesn't mean that there are is a non-zero amount of applications out there that do.

The problem is not so much that you can point and laugh at the crappy regexes, or crappy html-devs, the problem is that some scripts on some server, or some sites somewhere don't really have a maintainer anymore.

For tiny, tiny projects, you don't really have to take this into account, but if you're Chrome or the Linux kernel, you definitely should take it into account.
Even shorter TLDR: single-digit percentages of equity are unlikely to be worth much more than 1-2 years of salary.

Really if you are in the bay area and consider only the financial aspect, working for FAANG for the low 200s is almost certainly better than a startup for the mid 100s plus equity.

Note, I choose to work for a non-FAANG company for non-financial reasons. I therefore don't work in the bay area for financial reasons (I was able to find a non-FAANG job for mid 100s somewhere that is ~40k a year cheaper for a mortgage).

Extract it from yaml, do a thing, test it, then put it back in yaml, then run it and test it again? And if anyone else wants to make a change to your change, they now have to do the same?

If this is all Docker containers anyway, why aren't they just creating Docker images and referencing them? They're just shoving a Dockerfile into YAML, without the benefit of it actually being a Dockerfile.

Musk Touts March 14 Model Y Event as Demand Questions Linger
Somethings mentioned in the article are common in Asia.

- Parents funding their children until they settle down to the extent they’re capable of. That’s partly why they tend to be frugal to a fault.

- Grandparents helping raise kids. My great-grandma helped my mom for the first year. Now my mom helps my sister raise my niece. And not to mention, kids and grandparents love being around each other.

If you take a long view, these “millennials” who get assistance from parents will one day help them have a comfortable oldage* and assist their kids in raising families.

Exactly this. Especially in an environment where you have tens or hundredths of people/screens with the dashboard opened.

Non streaming dashboards are just stupidly hammering the backends (and the network transferring the same data over and over). So this has nothing to do with how cool it looks (also dashboard users rarely complain that they refresh or scroll too fast).

Working on such a backend at the moment, I was missing this feature so much I would probably have started to work on this on my own at some point.
What do we have to look forward to in the next 30 years. We went from curiosity to productivity to all consuming. What comes after that?
That did seem like a really weird framing. It seems like the corollary article would be. "Family ties eroding, grandparents no longer spending time with grandkids"
Children should be ashamed to use their family's money to better their life? That's a rather extreme statement.
Many companies do, it's called a price match guarantee. If this causes enough bad press I wouldn't be shocked if Tesla does it.
Your information is out of date. Cash for clunkers was a while ago.

I work in the used car industry and across the board (on average) used cars depreciate at about 1.5% to 2% per month! Some are slightly better and some are worse, but the vast majority depreciate in that range.
Engineering resource is finite, the less time spent on working on the engine the more time we can spend working on new features and other systems.

Before making this in Rust we experimented with a Go and also a Lua implementation as we investigated the approach. The Rust code took the same time to initially produce and was production ready very early and has been rock solid and required virtually no maintenance since it was put into production.

That frees up that engineer to work on other things, whilst also reducing ongoing maintenance that was anticipated and so those engineers are also working on other stuff.

I'd attribute a chunk of that to Rust... though it helps if you have great engineers who are familiar with the concepts of parsers, etc working on these things. The same may not be true if someone new to Rust was also new to the concepts needed.
There's some really good research in this article and then some really poorly researched topics and it seems like the entire thing was written with an agenda to please an anti-millenial audience. Specifically, an agenda to prove that millenials are given way more than previous generations (especially boomers) with really poor research and a really shaky narrative.

This one part shows it pretty clearly:

>n the television show “Thirtysomething,” which aired from 1987 to 1991, the all-white cast of characters seemed to be economically emancipated from their parents, who rarely factored into the story lines. Today’s series about 30-somethings portray a decade that seems far less adult, at least by traditional standards. (Think “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” or “New Girl.”)
Well, that's disappointing. Any guesses about why?

The Prodigy was coolest group I went to hear. They had so much energy. I was lucky as the time my girlfriend could get us box seats through her work. We were right in front of the walkway between the sections of the covered area.

Keith was bouncing around on stage, and then all of a sudden he jumps off and starts to run down the walk way at high speed. You could see the overweight security guards freak out and start to try and follow him to make sure he didn't get hurt. He runs within like 2 feet of us and makes his way back on stage. After a couple of minutes, he then proceeds to do it again causing the crowd in there to go nuts. They were so much fun to watch.
Yes, absolutely. It is wildly unfair to those who do not have access in a market economy.
I don't own a Mac, so I can't test the generated binaries.

You have this backwards. California and New York subsidize the nation (along with other productive, higher tax states), not the other way around.

If you get rid of SALT entirely, which has always existed as part of the federal income tax, you incentivize states to stop spending their own money and relying on the federal government for everything.

The idea to get rid of SALT might make sense if the federal government provided few services and had a small budget. Imagine if the federal government had a budget 1/10th of its current size. In that world, state and local governments would pick up the slack with their taxation and spending.

Many smaller, so-called "low tax states" simply don't provide services to their residents, and instead rely on the federal government to subsidize them. Medicaid expansion, which many lower-tax/poorer/less healthy states have benefited greatly from is paid for by higher-tax/richer/more healthy states.

It doesn't make sense for the federal government to further incentivize low productivity states to mooch off of more productive parts of the economy.

> Assuming one actually wants civic society to exist. Which I do.

That's clearly not true: you're making ad hominems at people who disagree on tax policy.

Which is common of the entitled people from those states: receive massive subsidies which pay off, and then refuse to return that wealth to the rest of the nation at an equitable tax rate, pretending you're some virtuous self-starters who through your benevolent policies created all that wealth -- hoarding it for special privileges for yourselves, while harping about how others should pick themselves up by their bootstraps.

Perhaps if California and New York stopped hoarding the benefits of federal investments, the federal government could afford to make large Silicon-Valley-starting style investments in other regions of the country, and help them recover.

The entitlement to think you deserve to buy yourself nice things with the ROI on federal money, rather than having to pay back so the federal government can help other regions is staggering.

No wonder people from California and New York talk about "equitable" so often: their entire society is designed around their inherent entitlement from the rest of the country, and it's a Freudian admission that needs to end.
