You do realize that they were subsidized a lot. If you got in early and combined it with some other subsidies the 100k model S cost about 20k. Now that the subsidy is largely gone i'd be surprised if the sales stay that high. You see the same with the Mitsubishi Outlander: sales dropped to nearly zero after the hybrid subsidy was taken away.
I haven't read the book, I'm adding it to my encumbered reading list (this site spins off so many excellent recommendations it's difficult to keep up).

1) Is the argument then that only the government can succeed with large scale initiatives? Pretty much everything that government is involved with becomes encumbered, if it's liked to a code base it drives up complexity for diminishing returns performance wise. I like the mission that NASA does and private initiatives are much more cost effective.
2) Schools are expensive with the rise of access to cheap money and ballooning administrators vs instructors. Should this be regulated?
3) I'm not against the "lunch" program. I'm curious why is it a schools job to feed students? The meal programs extended from lunch to breakfast and dinner. Isn't it a parents basic job to feed their kids? If this were someone with a pet would you consider them a good custodian if they can't meet their obligations? I'm not talking about someone on hard times I understand crap happens but more of an extended living scenario.
4) Stop giving information to these companies. This is akin to "I can keep a secret but the people I tell can't". Is it really private data if you share it? If you have a spending problem, stop buying crap.

What are your proposals to drive research domestically? If there were a market for it that's untapped seems like a goldmine.

"Some tests will help confirm a course of treatment, or propose a new one. But what if that treatment is something you've already decided you won't do? For example in an older patient too old for a surgery or a baby that you've already decided you'll keep.

I had the impression that a lot of doctors go through the same test protocols independent of patient situation. They are more deliberate with the actual treatment but there seems less thought about the necessity of testing.

There's a major difference between the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes though - altitude and incident duration. Things that are recoverable from 5000' AGL might not be from 1000' AGL. Speed is life, and altitude is life insurance after all.

From my reading, the Lion Air pilots could have disabled electronic trim anytime after those 26 recoveries and been fine. But the Ethiopian Airlines pilots only had 1000' of altitude to recover in, and that wasn't enough. Which leads to the question of why MCAS was triggering at 1000' AGL, since it isn't supposed to activate when flaps are deployed... I don't think MCAS is going to end up being the sole hardware issue on that flight.
> something can work and yet be imperfect.

I never said it was perfect, I just commented on what he was doing was worked well considering the goals of the project.

> can work and yet can be better, is so foreign to you?

Absolutely not, I just think the methods being used to achieve the "better" in question is actively making it worse.
So you blame the pilot that he is not training itself in the new hidden changes of the airplane? Isn't Boeing duty to create the checklists/procedures for the possible issue ? or we let this work for the pilots internet forums?

Though from the article it appears that pilots followed all the official procedures,

>. But you don't want to suppress demand -- you don't want people to stay home instead of patronizing local businesses etc. The problem isn't too much demand. Demand is good. The problem is insufficient supply.

This is not a choice between people staying home and patronizing local businesses. People are not driving into the congestion zone in Manhattan during rush hour to patronize local businesses. They're going to work. They are going to go to work one way or another. You realize there are other options besides driving alone in a car and sitting at home, right? If people have to pay the full cost of driving by themselves, they might instead choose to carpool, take public transportation, bike, telecommute, or other options.
The RAV4EV and Mercedes were built as California compliance cars. They’re fantastic vehicles (I own a RAV4EV), and with a bit more range, I’d prefer that over the Model Y. Notice that these were released back in 2012, and almost 7 years later, there isn’t a comparable SUV for less than $75k. Once Toyota produced their required 2600 cars to get sufficient California credits, they ended the program.

Non-trivial changes to functions typically change what errors they will trigger. Thus changing what errors their callers will trigger. And so on.

Putting error conditions in the function signature means that the signature reflects the implementation details of the function. Change those implementation details and the signature changes, affecting the callers and their signatures. Unless you abstract the error and then you lose the only advantage of passing the errors around rather than using exceptions.
Filing your taxes is an expensive time sink if you're wealthy with a lot of assets. I'm not, and it takes me about ten minutes to file mine on the free website. Fill in my W-2, answer about ten questions, hit the "File" button, done.
Thanks to lawyer back and forth Amazon now has an explicit note on Tor (and Baen and a few other similar publisher titles) making it clear that the file is DRM free at publisher request. It seems like funny language in Amazon's store pages because it sounds like they are treating it like a book defect the way it is written, but the bonus is that you can look for that "warning"/"acknowledgment" when you want that best of both worlds situation where you want to get Kindle features on a book but support a DRM-free publisher over alternatives.

I'm a mid-20s male e-sports fan and I promise you there are tons of us. Perhaps a big thing is lack of visibility - you might see traditional sports on TV in passing at bars, restaurants, etc, but that isn't the case for e-sports. It's a community that organizes by event and livestream schedules shared online with up to hundreds of thousands of people tuning in on twitch.

Having been through the recent birth e-sports and its growth since, to me it's remarkable the social aspect of regular sports. Especially here in Boston, big game days are a major IRL event for half the city. Jerseys walking around on the sidewalks, everyone talking about it, etc. The biggest e-sports events in contrast are in convention centers, hotel ballrooms, theaters, etc, where only if their lucky will there be any noticeable external sign.

I would also expect with healthcare reform for healthcare related payments to decline. Not to mention an aging population will see a decline in payment activity.

With that said, it'd be swank to move as much paper checking activity to ACH as possible for efficiency reasons, as well as credit card activity to ACH to de-financialize payments (finance absorbs too much of GDP IMHO).

"Today, research in molecular electronics, in terms of using single molecules, is still at a conceptual stage", says Dr Solomon. "But organic electronics, using films of molecules, is an extremely important technology in many consumer products."

People have gotten carbon nanotubes at least into prototypes rather than just conceptual work. Getting the tubes to stick to the pads reliably enough to form whole computers isn't possibly now but if you're willing to pay enough for a nanotube based 7400 series chip I'm not aware of anything stopping you.
I believe ultimately analog and esports will merge. Where big, strong athletes who also happen to be very good at games are the new celebrities of sports.

You look at the complexity and strategy shifts necessary in a game like DOTA and the NBA rules are boring in comparison.

But if you look at the physical capability of the NBA and the training it requires it makes esports players look softer than soft.

What I’m curious about is how AR will bind these, and how it will be well-spectated.

All motor vehicles are already registered with the state. The dimensions of unmodified vehicles are already a matter of public record, easily looked up based on make and model. Seems to me that all you'd have to do is a simple cross-check of the person's vehicle size before charging them. Bikes and motorcycles would only need a separate fixed cost for each.

Honestly, it seems like a pretty simple matter to look up a car's make and model from its license plate/EZ-Pass registration. You could do it on the spot before charging the toll.

You could even just base it on the class of license you need to operate the vehicle, if you wanted to keep it very efficient.

This seems like one of these sentences which you kind of miss on the first read and many years later when you wonder "what happened to that wonder battery?" "Remember the cathode we thought was almost done? Turns out it wasn't."
Until they have produced that thing at scale it is still part of a long list of research products in the battery sector, which may never be available.
Mongo-Pi: MongoDB and Raspberry Pi
The blog post is proposing exceptions in the context of an MVC style app where the code that throws the exceptions is part of a request pipeline that also has a global exception handler. This handler would be capable of logging and translating the typed exception to some acceptable output to the consumer.

It seems most people arguing against this clearly didn't read the post or they don't understand the context and are giving their opinions on exceptions in general.

The crux of the post is to leverage the fact that your controller code (in typical modern MVC frameworks) doesn't run in a vacuum, to reduce a lot of boilerplate/repetion around error handling.

The entire thread is on socialism - what do you think UBI is? Also you're talking about academic ignorance but your posts are nothing other than extremely lowly ad hominem attacks - first I was an anarchist, now I am ignorant - where are your real arguments?

And I use public infrastructure - was raised 200 meters away from a transfer subway station - and I call taxation a robbery. But I am not a hypocrite, because on a free market I would have paid roughly 20 times less for it - what is also called a fair price.

Not surprised that a person who sees violence and robbery as a universal solution is acting like that. Shame I just got down to your disgustingly low level...

"Consulting firm" is often used as a generic term for any company you hire to do business work for you.

For example if you need a mobile app and hire a company that specializes in building mobile apps for their clients, there's a good chance the contract will say "consulting agreement" across the top.

But, in general conversation among technologists, those are more often called vendors, or contracting firms, or agencies.

When it's an individual person, the label usually depends on their role: consultant has some ownership of the result (in theory), contractor does skilled labor as assigned, temp does less skilled labor as assigned, intern, etc.

I guess this refers to this:

”Spanish treated (until 1994) "CH" and "LL" as single letters, giving an ordering of cinco, credo, chispa and lomo, luz, llama. This is not true any more since in 1994 the RAE adopted the more conventional usage, and now LL is collated between LK and LM, and CH between CG and CI. The six characters with diacritics Á, É, Í, Ó, Ú, Ü are treated as the original letters A, E, I, O, U, for example: radio, ráfaga, rana, rápido, rastrillo. The only Spanish-specific collating question is Ñ (eñe) as a different letter collated after N.”

My experience was that 2 stroke breathing was good if you can put power into the full motion (like Phelps and others) but in high school I was pretty lanky and found 3 to be more balanced and streamlined— 200 has always been the border between short and long distance too which makes it the most gray area imo

If you want to learn something, top-tier universities aren't much better than many other options. They're top-tier by virtue of the glory they borrow from their students. We judge the "eliteness" of a school by what you can predict about an individual by the fact that they were admitted there.

And by that measure, Caltech is significantly outperforming in "academics".

They want tax filing under the status quo tax calculation system to be as difficult as possible so that they can use simplification of filing as the sales pitch for changes to the calculation method which decrease nominal, and even moreso effective, progressivity.
