I hear, and think if you enjoy being a mechanic, the more power to you, but I feel like going to college opens up more doors for more money overall, especially 10 years down the road. only 1 of the 15 guys working in the shop can own it, so even if your friend ends up being the scrapy one who figures it out and buys it, there are still 14 other guys who aren't as lucky.
Am I missing something below?

Equity = Sigma(Free-cash-flow) summed over time. In the case of AMZN, equity is about 43B. 18B of this amount is goodwill(intangible vaporware). That leaves with about 25B real equity. And surprisingly, this 25B matches with FCF over the last 2 years(2017-2018). Which essentially means, cumulative FCF until 2017 was indeed 0. Numbers do seem to support the claim that AMZN was running on 0(averaged over time) FCF. Showing 1B in one quarter, -1B in another. But overall 0.

Whether 0 cumulative FCF means predatory pricing is a different question altogether. I'm not so sure about that. How would visionaries build big things, that need, and money? If AMZN loses it and acts monopolistic, I think people will respond by migrating en-masse. No one likes too much inequality. Jeff should do something about that image.

I don't get it. Why solve other people's problem when you can solve yours! Scratch your own itch.

> Statistically, the public voters should be in line with the final outcome.

Not likely. Social stigma means the "acceptable" candidate would have a larger proportion of the public votes than total votes. For example, the Democrat candidate in Chicago.
Oh! That's the IBM Journal article! Hah, suck on that, IEEE.

Also, note, the formal description is claimed to be executable code (by an APL interpreter).
It's worth noting that AUD$1 = USD$0.71, and that the cost of living here is substantially higher than most of the US (though the Valley is probably much more even-run). Having said that, AUD$200k is certainly not unheard of as you get on in experience.

I agree that if you were a specialist consultant and found an exploitable niche, you could pull USD$200k equivalent here.
Well, lets entertain this idea for a minute and see where it takes us.

First understand that the Ludicrous upgrade is only available on the Performance Model S/X which is $99k/$104k to start. There are two possible upsells here, from TM3 to Model S, or from a more basic grade of S to an upgraded Model S.

There are very few people who set out to buy a $35k car and then consider the TCO of the TM3 as comparable and decide to go for it. I think the hypothetical TM3 shopper being upsold to a $99k S to get free Ludi is basically non-existant. Upselling AWD or maybe Model 3 Performance, but not a Performance S.

Now, someone setting out to buy a $78k Model S, and deciding to upgrade to a $99k Model S is conceivable. Getting the Ludicrous option thrown in maybe even makes that likely.

So what's the profit impact to Tesla for selling a baseline Model S for $78k with no discount, versus a Model S Performance with a Free Ludicrous upgrade?

Gross margin of the S is ~30%. For giggles I'll assume gross margin of the Ludicrous upgrade is 50%. The hypothetical customer taking advantage of this offer is spending $99k and earning Tesla a profit of $19,700 ($29,700 - $10,000) versus without the offer getting a $78k Model S and earning Tesla $23,400.

Lastly there is the theory that an existing Model S/X owner decides to buy a new Model S/X because now they can get a Ludi upgrade. Well, you probably don't know that Tesla already lets current owners upgrade their existing Model S/X with Ludi aftermarket for $7,500. You can even upgrade your battery for $20,000.

I'd say this alternative view is bunk. Tesla grows by selling to new owners, and has said they design their cars with 1,000,000 miles in mind. Tesla goes further than any auto manufacturer in history to maintain the value of their existing owners' investment through constant OTA upgrades, even including increasing motor output, decreasing braking distance, and they have a system design geared toward field upgradable hardware including batteries and autopilot hardware.

When was the last time you walked into a dealer with your late-model car and they had a list of upgrades they could sell you for it, to bring it inline with the same car on the showroom floor? Tesla has been doing this with their Model S at various times throughout its history.

Their success is not tied to existing owners replacing their Tesla with a new one. It's actually quite the opposite. Part of Tesla's core value proposition is that every owner should feel like they are driving the latest and greatest, and their incentive is aligned to keep you driving it as long as possible. It's part of why they don't have model years in the first place.

If you want to do your workflow in your own procedural code, SWF (and presumably Cadence) are good choices. If you want to use a dependency graph, Airflow is for you (but I hear operating it is kind of tricky). If you like a state-machine/flowchart kind of approach, AWS Step Functions.

AWS customers these days seem to mostly like Step Functions, although SWF isn't going away, and lots of EC2 instances are running Airflow. Obviously, some people want a managed service and others want OSS that they can control & fine-tune. Nothing wrong with either choice.

Most of the engineering cycles these days are going into Step Functions, keep an eye on that space.
(Oh, should disclose, I helped design & build Step Functions.)
Just to add context: MIT Interim Activities Period (IAP) is a "winter break" few weeks in which anyone can lead classes/sessions on any topic: http://web.mit.edu/iap/about/index.html

MIT CSAIL is the research lab joining of the legendary MIT AI Lab and MIT Lab for Computer Science. People who work hard and win the lottery to do research at CSAIL (or other prestigious lab) shouldn't afterwards be looking for entry-level coding jobs for which a whiteboard code monkey dance interview/hazing would be appropriate, IMHO.

(For different reasons, people who are in programmer career tracks, with verifiable industry track records and/or open source involvement, also shouldn't be put through the entry-level hazing. Claims that the ritual gives certain companies metrics or somesuch would carry more credibility, had those companies not been caught brazenly colluding, at the CEO level, to systematically suppress wages and mobility of their own employees, with presumed spreading market effects throughout industry.)

This is pretty common. My 2017 and 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee had small differences. My 2000 E46 also had small differences including having an Iron block that was switched to an Aluminum block. Not to mention small design choices like knobs, switches, and buttons.

Thanks for such a great read. I have a somewhat similar story.

My brother and I started our company the moment after we bought our domain name: retreat.guru. We actually wanted a different domain but didn’t get it; retreat.guru was the runner up. Then we had a spontaneous 3 hour call where we mapped out the entire global wellness retreat marketplace we would build - all based off the domain name! 5 years later we are still going strong.

We are based out of a small mountain town in B.C. Nowhere near the buzz of Silicon Valley. We gradually took investment and grew from revenue as well. We are very vision driven.

I, too, dislike the "eavesdropping on other people's tipsy pub conversation" genre of podcasts. I generally don't love the professionalized "least common denominator of an NPR listening audience's tastes, delivered in carefully rehearsed NPR voice" podcasts, either.

My solution is to not bother with those podcasts. There are so many others that I find to be more worthy of my time. Admittedly, it's probably a small fraction of all podcasts, but it still amounts to more than I could possibly find the time to listen to.

>f you can cope with it, it immediately shows up in the interview and you are considered a member of the club, a person worthy of having conversations with.

This is the best part of these interviews. The utterly dehumanizing nature of it. You aren't even treated as a person until you've uttered the correct series of phrases that signal you are a member of the right class. Every word that comes out of your mouth, and everything on your resume up until that point is completely disregarded and treated as a lie.
That's what happens when the party controls information to paint a very specific picture. You'll find that anonymous surveys in DPRK will also show that most support the Kim regime.
> Tesla's global sales since 2012 totaled over 532,000 units at the end of 2018, of which, over 245,000 were delivered in 2018, up almost 138% from 2017. Year over year Tesla U.S. vehicle sales from 2017 to 2018 increased by 280% from 48,000 to 182,400.

> Our best estimate is that Tesla has manufactured 239,844 Model 3s so far—or 21,231 in the current quarter—and is now building approximately 5,884 a week. Those figures, and the charts below, represent Bloomberg’s latest estimates and will automatically update to reflect changes in the data. (Last update: April 23rd, 2019)

Assuming a conservative build rate of 5k units per week, that's 260k Model 3 units being built per year. This does not include S and X units.

Well, obviously both WSL and Cygwin run on Windows (and nowhere else), so, rhetoric aside, could you explain why they are they insufficient for your purposes?
Of the design of a parsing and encoding library? Not at all. Do you parse as a stream or all in one go? Are values represented as a special "json" type, or as built-in types? How should arrays and objects be represented? Are integers and reals different types? Are trailing zero decimals significant? Do you allow construction of arrays and objects in any order, or only sequentially?

(Granted, I've written my own C++ JSON library which I believe answers all these questions in an intuitive way, following both the design principles of the C++ standard library, and the lowest-common-denominator semantics of JSON, but it's sufficiently opinionated that I doubt I could convince any significant portion of C++ users that it's the "right" way to do things. Even if it "is", demonstrating such is nowhere near as easy as it is for unique_ptr, vector, string, thread, etc., each of which are more or less the "obvious" designs given certain constraints such as RAII to which the standard library adheres.)
You jest, but years ago I worked for one of the largest auto parts places. You have no idea how many times you'd input year, make, model, and trim, just to be presented with multiple choice questions. Nobody knew how big their drums were, in inches, or the number of blades on their fan, the length of their belts, etc. Apparently a lot of mixing and matching happens. Some folks legitimately had to give us a prior year for us to find the right part.

Most podcasts I listen to record on a live stream and take corrections and questions from a chat room, which usually keeps me from yelling at the hosts "YOU FORGOT THIS ANGLE TO THE MATTER". Having it be a text chat room going on in parallel also avoids the say-nothing dud call-ins and the hemming and hawing of the general public.

My understanding is that, more specifically, it's a sound that's very carefully tailored to the acoustic environment in which NPR is typically consumed: a moving car.

I once heard an interview with an NPR audio engineer where he related how he'd epoxy the studio microphones' bass roll-off switches in place because the setting that most people thought made their voices sound better also made them harder to understand over highway noise.

New Computational Results HW Prototypes for Oscillator-Based Ising Machines
I'm not sure offloading its decision-making to the neural network will be an effective legal protection for Amazon against anti-trust claims. The key question in the US is whether "predatory" pricing results in financial harms (higher prices) to US consumers. As I understand the logic put froth by Bork in the 70s, the general idea is that "the market" will solve this problem in most cases, under the assumption that if a single big company tries to gouge consumers, rival firms will emerge that are able to outcompete them, thus restoring (or at least reapproaching) the idealized price equilibrium.

The law article cited in ths news story seems to be saying that even though Amazon's practices haven't visibly hurt consumers in terms of retail prices, this is due to the ability to play legal games with corporate accounting that conceal the present and future anticompetitive effects of Amazon's business model, and that its status as the dominant platform for online retailers presents some degree of threat to competition.

Lina Khan published a very informative and influential review on Amazon and antitrust in 2017.

The problem is more that you hurt efficiency when accelerating fast. I'd rather a moderately reliable increase in range than improved periodic acceleration.

Essentially this is: How much does (say) 25-55mph in 2s vs. 4s cost for overall distance in normal traffic.

That said I have better things to spend 60k on than a car. (my last car was $18k, and 42k can be used for a lot of good things that aren't a fancy car. That said I would rather a car that can accelerate faster than a Prius C - my old 9k Yaris did much better, even though it used more gas)
