Slowing the expansion isn't good enough. Your city should have never allowed all of those offices if it wasn't going to allow a proportionate amount of housing.

Assuming 200k meant 200k USD (~270k CAD), this would definitely be the 0.1% end of the spectrum in Toronto, in my experience.

I've personally never seen it. Not saying it doesn't exist, but that'd be extremely rare.
I think you might have misunderstood me. Those leaders are not going to respect whatever ethics are set up and will ensure their own developers do what they are told irrespective of this effort. Calling out those leaders isn’t an affront to their citizens any more than calling out George W (or Obama or Trump) is an affront to Americans.

Let's say you mortgage something, take on $250k in debt. You now have $250k in assets. Net is zero. You don't take away the debt payments from your income, since you received something from taking on the debt, and it becomes a net positive over time.

It works similarly with operating leases. But the actual accounting is a tad more complicated, so here's a link:

Indeed, the efficiency advances started in the Model 3 design stage and have now been adapted for use in the X/S.
I'd say that the only rational reason would be cost, I can't speak for whatever elon actually thinks. There is a significant difference in product between waymo and tesla, i.e. taxi fleet versus consumer product that surely influences these decisions. Waymo are automating a paid driver away, which justifies spending more on sensors. Tesla are going for an incremental path of replacing the driver over time, so that constrains the cost of the deployed hardware.
Saying lidar is inferior is just strange. If money, packaging and development budgets weren't a thing then why wouldn't you have it bristling with sensors. In fact you should probably just put beacons in the road everywhere and in every vehicle (maybe on pedestrians and bikes too), then you could solve autonomous driving with very old tech.

Tesla's supply chain management system was built in house. Combined with configuration tied to the VIN, I don't see it as being onerous. Backward compatibility, while not easy, is straightforward (dependency graph). If a subsystem incompatibility exists and parts cannot be sourced from Tesla inventory or an OEM, you replace the entire system (and pray to whatever deity you believe in it happens under warranty).

Tesla provides a very generous battery pack & powertrain warranty (8 years/infinite miles for S and X, 8 year/100k miles for Model 3); you're not going to be opening up the high voltage pack to replace cells yourself. Tesla will perform the work, or swap the pack if necessary.

EDIT: Note this is only a comment on Tesla's supply chain tracking system, and doesn't discuss their difficulty in getting replacement parts out to customers.
Came here to post this exact excerpt. That’s a heck of a customer loyalty bonus, even if the margin on that particular SKU is itself quite ludicrous!

Pony: I learned to stop worrying and embrace an unproven technology
There's a whole class of article like this one that rub me the wrong way for reasons I can't quite explain.

It's basically taking a theoretical "average person" who just happens to be very wasteful and extrapolating in the headline, heavily implying something which isn't actually the case.

I don't waste food unless you include things like chopping the end off an onion because it could theoretically have been used in a soup. Actual waste, the sort of 'throwing away a burger' the article describes, just doesn't happen to me.

Beyond that, logically a person who cares about their carbon footprint does not waste (significant amounts of) food.

Chromium is the only app I compile that still uses Python 2, but I do know Google utilize's it in many repos. I'd love to read anything that would cover how they're planning to handle EOL.

U.S..charges American engineer, Chinese with stealing GE’s trade secrets
Kevin Burton is one of the inventors of RSS? Really? Back in 2006 I wrote what was one of the most comprehensive blog posts on the history of RSS, and somehow I never heard of him. If anyone is interested in some of the personalities who were fighting it out in the early days of RSS, I would encourage you to read my essay "RSS has been damaged by in-fighting among those who advocate for it". This essay was written during the last year when RSS still seemed like the wave of the future, before Twitter took off and changed the conversation completely:

The emotion/motivation behind this seems kind of peculiar to me. Sure, it's a nice thing for the person who is parked, but not for the person who isn't parked, at any given moment. Would it be a worthwhile good deed to find people who have just been to an ATM and give them some more money?

I don't go around ranting about inequality much in general; I'm just bemused by the implication that increasing it is obviously good karma.
This is great until you want to do repairs or maintenance yourself or via lower cost aftermarket. It’s essentially locking you into the OEM service model.

I do believe these sorts of "Amazon is amazingly smart" posts.

But they are hard to reconcile with why Amazon keeps showing me a rice cooker ad, after I buy a rice cooker from them.
Several years ago, GE engaged in a joint venture with AVIC, a Chinese state-owned aerospace company, to share technology for aviation software packages, Wessel said. In return, GE expected to increase its sales of jet engines to China. “Now it looks like China came back and stole what they don’t want to buy,” he said.
You realize I'm trying to distinguish a "social credit system" from a "credit system", right?

I will agree that there's problems with a credit system. No argument there. But I'm (we're?) arguing that these problems are exacerbated when adding the social element.
Correct. This is a choice you make as a Tesla customer (disclaimer: I have made this choice). I understand Tesla's position (brand protection, workload reduction), but also support Right To Repair; I don't have a solution I can offer in this instance. My hope is that Right to Repair legislation and Tesla's profitability intersect at some point in the future, where allowing aftermarket work is more palatable to Tesla while also requiring them to support it (Massachusetts has Right To Repair legislation that does require Tesla to provide some bare minimum support to customers and techs in that state).

If I'm Elon Musk, I don't want a news piece about Joe Schmoe electrocuted in his garage when he attempted maintenance on a Tesla 400V battery pack. So you sell to people who aren't interested in that use case. Like a baby cub and mama bear, you must protect the brand until it has grown big enough to protect itself.
Thanks for the feedback! ISL is indeed a good option, especially for the more application-oriented; it's on the todo list!
They haven't needed outside capital because Amazon has been generating free cash flow since 2002 or 2003. They were losing money on a GAAP basis because they were investing in capex heavy things like warehouses and data centers.

Looking at Amazon's aggregate financials doesn't tell us anything about whether they're doing something anticompetitive.
I think that's an intentional choice to optimize sales of new cars. Every part made goes into a new Tesla and there are no replacement parts available.

Why XAP CREDIT SOLUTION are the best hackers to fix your credit
HURRAY!!! I used the services of XAP CREDIT SOLUTION and it was extremely worthwhile, my dad told me about them and how they helped him with his credit issues, I also read several good reviews about them online. Honestly, I never knew I could get out of bad credit issues. I'm a divorcee and I needed a new home; I had almost 7 charge offs and 4 collection accounts and at a point I felt lost and hopeless. I considered using a credit repair agency but wasn’t sure about it until my dad persuaded me. After contacting them, 7 days later I checked credit karma and my credit score had been upgraded to 800, and erased all the Hard inquiries, negative items and payed off my credit debt on my credit report. Email them via XAPCREDITSOLUTION at GMAIL dot COM or text (972) 597 9704. Have a great day...
The main difference is that workflow has state and tasks can be very long running. Also workflow can react to external asynchronous events. Visibility into overall progress is also a very important feature. When using a queueing system it is hard to answer about the current state of the business process.

For example implementing service deployment to a public cloud usign Celery + RabbitMQ is very non trivial and error prone. It is a pretty streightforward Cadence workflow.
I didn't say it was quackery.

Now, I happen to believe that it is quackery because Gerard in private correspondence claimed that Sparsey achieves quantum supremacy on classical computers. That is an extraordinary claim but he did not provide any evidence to back it up, and when I suggested a simple demonstration he could do to back it up he demurred.

It's possible that Sparsey does something interesting, but it's (almost certainly) not what Gerard told me. That's why I think that evaluating it makes a good exercise.

Accenture Sued over Website Redesign
Yes. When young, we do not know, nor can we plan with any certitude, what may come. Que sera, sera. We can turn the wheel on the kiddie cars at the carnival, but we can only pretend we're steering. (For most of us.)

But when we are 20 years old, we can be certain we'll only be under 30 for a short time. With all that being under 30 entails ... of unreplaceable value. With good health and some luck, it will never be easier to travel, to meet a broad range of people ... to learn from and share with. To have the surplus energy to enjoy becoming good at something that might become a career (while realizing that advances in technology may make it obsolete!).

Life in a well-worn rut may be the only choice for some ... but those who stay free may find new paths.
The box integrity entirely failed in-transit. Rips, tears, bottoms falling out, tops crushed, everything. I had to refund and re-send orders as make-goods, in better boxes. When my customers showed me pics of the box conditions after delivery, it made my heart hurt (no lie). I thought it was all over. These days, we send all orders in a double-walled cardboard box, with a locking bottom, and aeration holes throughout. It's a tank of a box.
Hard to even get the interview. I've applied a few times as a senior Dev and was rejected based solely on my cv with the feedback of "work on your algorithms"...

Argo workflows are DAGs written in YAML. The types of workfows you can create using this syntax is very limited. Cadence gives you full power of a programming language like Java or Go to implement workflow logic. It is possible to implement support for argo DSL on top of Cadence. The reverse is not possible.

Cadence is also more scalable supporting tens of thousands events per second and hundreds of millions of open workflows.
Alternative view: they’re desperate to get more high margin model S and X sales because owners are keeping their existing models too long.
"Insured" can be interpreted very broadly; moral hazard is whenever the negative outcomes of a risky decision are directed away from oneself. A CEO considering the option of a layoff is a moral hazard as she will make her board happy at the expense of her employees. Either way she has nothing to lose.
Just from a quick look, you're probably not using KDE and haven't got any other QT5 apps installed. I wonder what a static build of that app would look like.

How I turned a MVP into a SaaS in 1 month
I don't know if you remember but I already posted here, my app was called LongLiveSS, it was a very bad choice... I know, but the idea was good and few people were interested in the solution and subscribed to the newsletter so I decided to make a better version.

The first release (built in 7 hours) was horrible, the app wasn't loading JavaScript on some pages, meaning a blank image as screenshot, sometimes the server freeze because I was using the free plan on heroku and so many other bugs I discovered.. that wasn't very serious but now it's here. The 2.0.

This app is still very minimal and does only one thing but it does it well, taking screenshots at regular intervals. On free accounts it's 3 days min. interval but if you decide to upgrade you can take a screenshot every 5 min.

I am planning to add these features pretty soon

Sure. Except for those who entered illegally.

Cadence is a service. The workflow and activity code lives outside of it. Think about Cadence workflow and activity code the same way you think about a queue consumer which is external to the queueing service.
I used to be good at not wasting food until I had kids. A toddler will ask for a burger, confirm they want a burger, and then not eat any of it. Or they'll just eat the cheese. You can save it in a tupperware in the fridge and they might take a bite from it in the next few days but eventually you will have to throw it out. If you try to eat the burger the child will cry.
It's strange, now that I think of it, to consider that getting gas before paying has died out in a lot of places, such as where I live, but getting (and consuming) food before paying has not.

Yes, I would actually agree that it's violent in a way. I'm not saying that treating everyone with respect is a bad thing. Using "just" violence is sometimes necessary to prevent "unjust" violence, I think practically everyone agrees with that.

What I'm criticizing is banning speech because it's "violent" while at the same time allowing other forms of violent speech. You're not banning it because it's violent, you're banning it because you don't agree with it.

Am I pushing this violence thing to the limits? Kind of, I can see a counter-argument saying that I'm being overly literal, etc. but hear this: Many of these moral inquisitors that want to ban violent speech have ideas that are actually violent, not only in the "philosophical"/overly literal sense that I described, but ideas that actually would affect good people negatively, and many times they don't only want to ban nazis and that sort of stuff, sometimes they want to censor liberal (in the British sense of the word) and conservative ideas that are held by a non-negligible amount of "regular" people.

So it's important to spot these lies when they start, even if they seem like edge cases and overly literal interpretations, I think it's good to deconstruct these ideas to their fundamental concepts and analyze them before saying "Yeah, they're Nazis anyway, ban them".
Facebook likes their interview nonsense, but stores passwords in plaintext. I think the credibility of the system is in question
Cadence doesn't require workflow and activity type registrations which eliminates most of the problems with SWF versioning. Cadence supports versioning of the workflow code out of the box. Any change has to be protected with a version condition. It works even with shared libraries and very long running workflows.
Googling something once to figure out how to do something is an advantage. But, if you constantly google the same task over and over again you should probably put in the effort into learning it.

Mindlessly cutting and pasting from the search results such as from stackoverflow can be anywhere from a waste of your time to extremely dangerous. But, on the other hand when it works it makes you much faster than if you tried to solve the problem yourself.

LOL no. Google is literally famous for rejecting major open source contributors for not knowing how to reverse a binary tree.
