I hope people stop being naive and finally understand they are product, not the customers. If you are not paying for the services it means somebody else pays for you to get the service and that your interest is only important to Facebook as long and as much as they can still keep you posting all your lives' details and carrying their spying app on your phone. Because that's what FB really wants from you, not your happiness.
This article makes the change sound negative and confusing.

But reading the original Tesla announcement [1], it all seems reasonable. People were buying the Standard Plus model six times more often than the Standard model, so they got rid of it. Good.

Slack is hostile to users and panders to management. It's a sound business strategy. I can't trust the platform, I'll always be second class.

> A former Harvard Business School professor recently released research into the effect of founder control on startup valuations.

> He found that valuations of founder-controlled companies are 17% – 44% lower than non-founder-controlled companies.

> This would seem to indicate that giving up control is a key to creating more value.

A bit of rambling here, but it seems to me that shedding founders is a common stage of growth among companies that are "making it big". Companies hire c-suite level people in roles that didn't exist on-paper before (COO, CFO, CPO), from established public companies.

From an investor/equity-rich-employee point of view, the path to cashing-in on your big, higher-valued company is made more clear with each such hire; as you can convince IPO underwriters that the future of the company is in the hands of people they should trust ("household" c-suite names).

Of course, this has the effect of diluting the founder's ownership, which is what this researcher observed. Although, in exchange for diluting ownership, you're definitely growing the probability of being able to sell that ownership on the market one day.

Yeah I completely agree.

But no more than 10.
What if SpaceX could combine cheap satellites with some form of reusable propellant-less or super high ISP propulsion? I'm thinking of solar sail or solar-ion drive tugs.
Another factor is that by mentoring my own output goes down a lot. If I get interrupted several times a day to help then I get nothing done on my own stuff. I think on overall it's still a big gain for the team but I look worse.

Delivered four senior developers in order to accelerate our team's velocity...

that's what my resume says.
This could be true and false in some circumstances I think. For example if I give a phone number to someone and specifically ask them not to share it, and in another situation where I allow a photo to be taken with the express terms that it is not shared online or with any other person... and then someone installs an app like messenger and that app sucks in all contact info and starts uploading photos in the background - sure you could say that they gave permission to share all that data, but I think a majority of people are not understanding what all those permissions mean.

I believe there are a lot of people who have expectations in the way that apps would use data and they are being duped partially by group trust trust / ignorance.

I have spoken to many people who do not understand the terms of use for instagram, and after discussions about such they start to question if they are going to allow their children to continue to use it. I think this is common with many apps and web sites - people have an expectation that video of them taken at target is going to used in certain ways that maintain privacy - not that target it going to be taking images and videos of their kids and selling it off to people behind their back.

These are just a few examples where I think you could say technically it's true, but actually being are being defrauded or some other term, which is essentially stealing from people based on their ignorance.
Did they also dropped the price for a base model with autopilot by $1,500? It used to be $40,500 now it’s $39,000
Well, other arguments aside, there is a little bit of a difference between a single-system ENIGMA and building multi-system spaceships.
Most people think that mathematicians work with numbers, when the truth is far away from that.

You are most likely to end up having to work with something that cannot be drawn or calculated and is superbly abstract, like some mappings from one theoretical concept to another.

Sure, you can draw some "projections" from certain things to other things, or "draw" an analogy to something simpler, but still most of the things are highly abstract and are nowhere "simple" as numbers, or geometric figures or something similar.

I think this is true at least in theoretical math research.
Baloney. I'm sure lots of people who even wanted to buy the Standard model were put off because they never saw any actual deliveries of the 35k vehicle.

I don't have mine, but I hope to some day. Under socialism, that won't happen. Here's a great objection: I want to be rich some day. Very rich. I suspect this is the case with many of us. Under socialism, that can't happen. And so, I will never support it.

Your whole idea is that socialism will clear out the elites in power. It won't. You'll end up with a bastardized version that oppresses everyone but a few.
Caffeine and alcohol daily gives you physical withdraw systems. A better comparison would be video games or movies/TV and MJ. You can get emotionally addicted and opt to play video games or smoke instead of doing productive things, but if you walk away from either you aren't going to get a splitting migraine and crushing fatigue like quitting coffee cold turkey.

Today's zero emission Fuel Cell cars already have average range of over 560km. (See the 2019 Honda Clarity, for example). And this law doesn't take effect for another 20 years. We can probably get these communities some hydrogen refueling stations by then.
How significantly has battery technology really changed? As far as I can tell, batteries haven't become that much better. I don't see how they'll become that much better in the future either.

The backed up keys are encrypted against a client-generated Curve25519 public key, with new session keys being added incrementally (so you don't need to provide the key after you set it up)[1]. Personally I don't see it as much more of a risk than trusting them to host the ciphertext of your messages.

People have different threat models. When chatting with my family, it's more important that we have a permanent history of our messages rather than the worry of them getting leaked. But if you're a whistleblower you have a different set of requirements.

At my current job we were supposed to have switched to Rally. However, the PMs prefer Excel. The result is that a spreadsheet on the PM's computer is the real system of record and sometimes things make it into Rally. This is a terrible experience. I've abandoned both systems and just work on whatever I feel like. Luckily I have enough clout and a slightly unique role that I can get away with doing this. I feel awful for the devs who are supposed to be working on the normal dev tasks.
They were originally going to sell a physically different Standard Range model. Manually adjusting cloth seats, fewer speakers, a more basic center console, etc.

The update is that they won't be making a physically distinct Standard Range model, it will be physically the same as the $39k model with software limitations.

Typically if you drive or operate equipment you are tested regularly. Otherwise you only encounter pre employment tests and that's only found with entry level jobs. Anything above entry level, they are hiring for your past performance and don't care what you need to do during your free time to keep up your groove.
Totally agree! Especially, if you keep the link between the number and user, which is very often the case. But even without that direct link one would have to demonstrate a certain level of k-anonymity. Maybe GDPR wasn't detailed enough to describe k-anonymity
The idea that Tesla could get fully auto vehicles out of the existing Model 3s their building today is laughable. Even top-tier AV companies, with larger teams and far more advanced sensors, can't. There's a huge difference between working 95% of the time, and working well enough for a full auto fleet, and Tesla won't get there with pure cameras and a single front-facing radar. It's possible they could retrofit the old cars with new hardware, but other AV companies have suggested that retrofits aren't automotive-grade enough to last over time (sensor mounts drift too much, etc).

maybe ... just a thought .. but, don't agree to them?

it should be just as easy to agree as to decline. if not, then they are likely not adhering to the regulation, and eventually someone will/could alert them or whatever authority.
Many cars in this class have radar adaptive cruise and 360 cameras. I don't think the hardware here is really that expensive compared to other cars.
The Model 3 doesn't even have mechanical door handles, it seems like the polar opposite of "without any bells and whistles."

AHHH thanks, you're a star. Able to reproduce.

I misunderstood your text description and now I know exactly what you mean. It never occurred to me that people click outside the modal rather than on the "x". In retrospect it seems obvious that they would. Will fix.
At most companies this would run the risk of poorly shoe-horning ML into a bunch of applications and making everything needlessly complex & expensive without seeing improved results (same goes for blockchain).

Sure, and in Amazon, you get a few tweaks that get the company a few bucks. It suspect the article wildly overstates the value of ML to Amazon.

Amazon's success seems to rest on: A. Attracting enough capital to get huge and stay huge with generally low margins. B. Being willing to slide into related businesses for extra-profits. C. Not jumping into one or another dumb trendy investments that would burn up all the capital they get from A & B.

Well, the memos might help B & C, for all I know.

Ten years ago, Amazon and Ebay split the ecommerce/storefront world. Ebay never managed to make themselves fully consumer friendly with hard guarantees and Amazon did. The auction-based, at-your-own-risk world is inherently limited and Ebay never escaped that - I wish they had 'cause then Amazon would have had real competition.
So wait, they're trying to be Vimeo now?
>To follow the author's analogy, by mentoring someone, we're effectively "adding a fish" to the pond, and if someone else "catches" the fish, that effort is largely wasted.

Even more curious is that IT culture is basically that if you want to get paid what you're worth, you have to quit and go to another company.

So these companies put all this effort into raising a better developer, and then refuse to pay them what they're now worth and basically force them to go elsewhere.

It's not "what if they go elsewhere" under that situation, it's "when".

I'd argue that you don't even have to "pay more than everyone around you". Simply coming close to parity is enough to stop most people from going through the pain of a job search. But these companies don't even get that close.

The last time I switched jobs, I got a 40% pay increase. That's ridiculous. I even told the company I was underpaid and they asked if I could wait a year for a raise. I didn't even answer the question. I just walked away and started looking for a job.

They weren't surprised when I found one and quit.

And a couple weeks before I left, they put in a job ad for 7 developers, offering what I was making at my new job for each of them. I've been at this new job as a senior developer for 8 years now.

Could I make more? Almost certainly. But they gave me decent raises and have a good culture (almost zero overtime in 8 years) and benefits, and I don't feel like leaving.
This is the fixed mindset, the unfortunate idea that abilities can't be developed. See my top-level comment.
Sexually assaulting people is not typically one of the “transgressions of all kinds that each person in the civilized world commits”. Sexually violating a human being is not the equivalent of a fucking speeding ticket.
Some of us knew it was a lie from the jump. It's called 'not believing the hype.' I knew it was a bait and switch as soon as it was announced.

Weirdly, this hasn't seemed to tarnish the reputation of tesla in the eyes of it's fans.
I was spreading a quote from the article.
I think this is true in many places. The real payday is when they don't want you to leave.
> I find it to be much easier to infer someone's mood and intent when I talk to them vs. reading chat messages.

All the deaf programmers of the world would like to have - haha - a chat with you. You'd surely quickly recognize their mood :P

I'm being sarcastic, but the accessibility angle is a serious one.

> and that "something" may or may not be knowledge that should be spread through the team

Whatever you talked about, either resulted in a decision (which should be documented anyway, because you never know who and when may be affected by it) or it didn't, in which case it could have been an email to one person or a group of people.

> I find it to be much easier to infer someone's mood and intent when I talk to them

That's a problem with the literacy of that person. All the words needed to express various moods and intents are there in the dictionaries; this is a battle-tested, mature technology (I mean, written English) which only got so much better since we're able to attach funny cat pictures to each sentence now.

> There is no universally better communications mode.

Of course, as it depends on what you consider "better". What I'm saying is that text is better for accessibility, transparency, scalability and searchability. Speech, on the other hand, makes expressing one's emotions easier. Such an advantage.

Probably the only good use for a call is to notify all the right people when some disaster happens (and really quick - seconds to minutes - decisions are required) or in case a CEO prepared a New Year's speech (at least if they honestly worked on their public speaking skill). Everything else is unnecessarily disruptive, favors quick responses when thoughtfulness is often more important, and gets incredibly messy quickly when you start adding more people.
Tesla sells a good number of S and X models that are used. People still buy used Leafs and some of those were notorious for battery issues. Unlike Nissan Tesla packs are liquid cooled and managed. So for the most part what many have to move on from is the stereotype incurred by one brand having battery longevity issues affecting the perception of the industry.

However I think it is a good idea to state they have a use for the off lease cars which gives them an out with having to expense new vehicles for such a risk venture; I am not a believer in anyone's autonomy programs.

(disclaimer, I own a TM3)
Now, they should just stop existing. Because “the world” is apparently at risk. As philosopher Carlin once said: “the planet is fine...”
> ...some small number of places in specific circumstances..

Airport parking/shuttle service. They could even augment the AI by using markers in the roadways. That's about as autonomous as we're going to get in the next decade.
It takes me around 4 weeks to figure out if someone can grow or not. There are exceptions though. Some people are almost traumatized by previous jobs so they need some time to learn that it's OK for them to grow.
If I could bet $100 to win $1 that they don't end up in a self-driving fleet at the end of the lease, I would.
I think what OP is saying is currently you can drive between communities and not have to worry about filling up (600km to a tank). If your EV only gets 400km, how are you going to get between those locations. As another commentor pointed out, there is a lot of time for charging stations to be built.
There’s a sense that individuals in rural areas will need to move into urban environments for the sake of climate change.
So what? Netanyahu once gave a speech to Congress in the middle of elections. All countries interfere all the time. Some citizens have positive views of the countries those individuals represent some don’t. It doesn’t matter. Countries don’t have friend, they have interests that either align or don’t. Singling out Russia doesn’t in anyway lead to causation on the part of Assange.

Also that Honda wouldn't take a snow drift without falling apart. People who live in cities take their public services fore granted. If you're out in the country you NEED a truck and almost certainly a plow to attach to it.
It's interesting, I've gone back to Spotify from Apple Music primarily because I can easily find more interesting playlists from curators.

I don't think Spotify has any kind of special algorithmic sauce, they just make it easy for people create and share playlists.

It amazes me how most of the other streaming services try to turn everything into an algorithm, via "special radio" stations, etc. And yet, the best way to provide a long tail for music still seems to be basic web 2.0 - let the people make the content for you.
You need a (good) programmer/architect for this to work in my experience. If you don't have someone who can accurately keep the entire 500-piece workflow in his/her head, success is much harder to achieve. If you have that person though, the 500 developers will feel very focused, and you end up getting where you intend to go. That architectural role is clutch from my experience.
A competitor would need to operate at youtube's scale for it to be considered a serious competitor. Otherwise, we wouldn't be having this conversation, given that websites like Dailymotion and Vimeo exist, but no "youtube stars" use them.
As an amateur musician I still make most of my monthly sales from iTunes. Streaming pays so little, unless you're a big name – which incentivizes the big labels while squeezing the smaller artists.

Early platform like Lala (bought by Apple) had a cool model – $0.10 per song, but you can only stream it. Ownership was still there, and artists were paid equally per sale.

Nevertheless, getting your music distributed is easier today than ever, and I'm sure all artists are grateful for that.
As a Model 3 owner, I'm glad that they regularly shake things up. I want them adapting fast rather than waiting long periods of time to make changes.
Yes, "zero" may be misleading, but displacing the emissions away from human settlement is a good thing for human health. And I assume that coal is on its way out, certainly in the 2040 timescale at least?
I completely disagree (and FWIW I own a used Chevy Volt): https://cleantechnica.com/2018/04/16/tesla-batteries-have-90...

Also, lots of cars come off lease with under 50k miles on it, so no reason to think the car would just be discounted by the relatively small amount of lowered battery capacity at this mileage.
why would you not want your assets working for you until as late as possible (not until point of purchase as in this case but up to 5-6 weeks later when a conventional monthly credit card bill become due)?

So paint a picture for me. How do I otherwise conveniently pay off my credit card bill with crypto? (Honestly, I would like to know, and such information would be a benefit to the general public.)

They won't. I suspect that that kind of regulatory capture is the point of these laws in the first place.
