With the model 3 the deposit made a huge difference in delivery time. The production ramp was painfully slow (production hell) becuase it was a completely different car than the model S and X that Tesla was producing. Because of the slow ramp the incentive for a deposit was quite large. There was also pretty minimal competition for the model 3, mostly the chevy bolt which most don't really consider in the same class.

The production ramp for the Y is expected to be much better than the model 3. There's two announced locations (Reno and China). Tesla also has substantial experience building the model 3, and the Y shared about 75% of the parts. Additionally the model Y is a very conservative design. Same motors, same batteries, same nav, same display, same steering wheel, same seats, same autonomous hardware, same sensors, etc. The announced differences I've heard of are low tech tings like the chassis and suspension. Nothing crazy like the model X gull wing doors to throw a schedule off.

Combine that with significant increase in competition from Audi, Volvo, Porsche, Rivian, and others expected in 2020 there's a much less exclusive market for people interested in a small crossover/SUV in 2020.

I'd be quite surprised if Tesla doesn't sell every model Y they can make for a good long time, but the world is a really different place than it was when they opened up the model 3 preorders. With that said I did put a deposit down on the Y, it's still my guess at the best small SUV for 2020. If things change I can get a refund.

Some women don't either. First their fathers then their husbands.

Kind of sad to see 1950s stereotypes not downvoted here.
Yes they are. Lack of package visibility, unclear accessiblity (vehicle locks), potential of car alarms, requirement for unlawful entry, increased likelihood of occupents associated with vehicle presence, expanded threat for forensic discovery, fear of spontaneous Tesla combustion and vehicle interiors that smell of soiled diapers and spoiled milk are the biggest deterrents.
you know there's something called wiremock already?
Well, not quite. What SQS actually offers is: exactly once delivery, except when the message is delivered multiple times.

Quoting from the SQS docs [1]:

> The visibility timeout begins when Amazon SQS returns a message. During this time, the consumer processes and deletes the message. However, if the consumer fails before deleting the message and your system doesn't call the DeleteMessage action for that message before the visibility timeout expires, the message becomes visible to other consumers and the message is received again. If a message must be received only once, your consumer should delete it within the duration of the visibility timeout.

If a consumer receives a message and then loses its network connection to SQS, the visibility timeout will expire before it can delete the message and it will be delivered a second time to another consumer.

I would very much suggest reading through the linked article by GP and maybe more about the Byzantine Generals Problem which establishes why exactly once delivery isn't just hard, but impossible. And Amazon's marketing department can't change that.

I have no idea how what I said was nasty or personal, unless if describing past experiences and personal wishes are against the rules. I’ve reported plenty of things they’ve said to me, I believe some of them got modded away, and I’m expressing an interest to not engage with them again over the same things. How is that personally nasty?

This is being unnecessarily pedantic. "Premium" is synonymous with "entry-level luxury" (one example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxury_vehicle#Premium_compact...).

Cars in the 35-45k range are routinely referred to colloquially as "luxury" cars. I agree you can quibble with this terminology, but it is absolutely common to refer to these cars as luxury, albeit the absolute low end of luxury.
Have you had to the laundry for a house of 5 people? It's hours of work a week to put the clothes away, and it's mindless work to boot. It is parents of multiple children that would benefit the most from this, just like how they benefited from automated dishwashers and clothes washing machines.

You're a competitor heavily invested in the current ad-tech ecosystem casting shade on a competitive model by relying on a bunch of mischaracterisations and false assertions.

There were still wars before oil was a thing.
EV are still too expensive and Tesla ridiculously so. That’s not a problem if you can’t keep up with demand, but competition creeps up.

Why would you buy a Tesla when you can buy a Hyundai Kona for a lot less?

We need better leadership though. I live in Denmark where EVs aren’t very widespread because of taxes. In Norway more than half of new vehicles sold are EV. Norway has more money than us, but they didn’t really need it for this transition and nothing they did are things we couldn’t have.

They simply had better political leadership than we do. I know some Americans might call free market, but we have 150 years of history to show that big advances in society are driven mainly by the public sector if they are to benefit all and happen quickly.

> but government inflation metrics are missing it for some reason

They're missing it because they're designed to miss it. If inflation was still calculated like it was in 1980 it'd be around 10%.

The fundamental mistake they appear to have made was failing to research their market. Five minutes on Google would have shown them most clothing factories still use people to do the job they're trying to replace - that's in ideal conditions, completely controllable, and well-resourced ... and still the best solution is a person (with specialised tools).

They should have started by trying to replace that person. Make a $50,000 machine and sell it to businesses, then take what you learn doing that and make the home version.
Nah. You're getting too invested into it. Not much Joe Public can do methinks
First US car company in 60 years, electric at that. Best crash test ratings. Highest owner satisfaction. First US-owned factory in China. Built in about 6 months.

I'm not saying that the market isn't over heated, or that there won't be some companies that will face tough times in a liquidity crunch, but a bit less biased reporting would be nice.

I don't think it's much about the number of IPOs but the amount debt and losses these companies hold behind those IPOs.

Don't get me wrong, people who invest in these should be doing their due diligence and investing accordingly but I also think that the companies are doing their best to put up a front to cash out now so the executives can get paid.
Insulin resistance is related to inadequate protein, not excess fat per se. You may need more muscle, which is partly based on getting the right kind and amount of protein.

Egg whites are the most bioavailable protein. Humans can use about 98 percent of it. I used egg whites to good effect when one of my sons needed more protein for some reason.

The people that die have an obsessive behavior (like anorexia or body image issues) that cause them to ignore the side effects.

If you were taking a drug and it made you feel horrible would you take more? Most likely you would stop or at least forego increasing the dosage.

What exactly are some of the great things Western mining companies are doing for poor countries? The only thing that I'm aware of which might be construed as positive is that through exfiltrating resources from the country and channeling the profits of this venture into the pockets of Western shareholders, they lift the country of its resource curse, by lifting it of its resources. However, this is neither ethically nor, in the short and medium term, practically, actually a good thing. And besides that, there just isn't much: mining ventures do not require much infrastructure, which will therefore not see much improvement from those investments, and the wages paid to local workers are laughable compared to the revenue mining generates, to the point where getting that revenue into the pockets of local warlord kleptocrats might actually be better, because if nothing else, at least their lavish lifestyle drives demand and powers the local economy.

Or is there a different force at play that I'm not seeing?

This was the case earlier but not so for a while. Current use of gold is mainly for jewellery, especially in weddings. This is a typical bride in South India - https://www.bookeventz.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/x...

The problem is, do I really want to pay $1/week for that New York Times subscription if I only read articles from them once every 3 weeks? And the funny thing is, the inconvenience of subscribing is actually more of a deterrent to me than the money itself.

If they publish a good article, I'd like to see them get paid for it so they can make more good articles, but I'd also not like to be mined for data. I also don't want to be inconvenienced trying to subscribe, because it is completely impractical to keep track of hundreds of individual subscriptions.

Not sure why everyone is so negative about this here but it seems like a very useful idea.
My quality of life improved when I started hanging almost all of my clothes, on coat hangers in the closet, and got rid of my dresser that required tedious weekly folding.

Almost everything is wrinkle-free, at least in my climate, if I hang it immediately out of the dryer. (I avoid clothes that need to air dry, given that I've been living in bedbug-prone old university neighborhoods with shared laundry machines.)

Socks get laid atop each other in a bin below (either the black pile or the white pile), and there's a second bin for other non-hangables for which wrinkling doesn't matter.

There's also no-iron dress shirts. I don't often need them lately, but I'm told Brooks Brothers has occasional great sales on good ones, if you do.

I don't use fabric softener, since there's research in the last few years suggesting that the VOCs are bad to be breathing.
That came to mind immediately. :)
@sfreporter your reporting had the main lede quite buried to create sensationalism. Gender bias is a distant problem if the model's results are completely random.

Gender bias was not the only issue. Problems with the data that underpinned the models’ judgments meant that unqualified candidates were often recommended for all manner of jobs, the people said. With the technology returning results almost at random, Amazon shut down the project, they said.

First of all, you basically cannot buy a Hyundai. The production is far below Model 3 levels. Here in Germany, you are looking at 12 months wait time due to demand far exceeding supply.

Also, the Model 3 is a very attractive offering. It is the faster car, aims at the typical BMW audience, and most of all, has the supercharger network available.

A law enforcement officer would first need to have probable cause, then create a sworn affidavit, then present this to a judge and if the judge agrees, a warrant is issued.

Search warrants are narrowly scoped. If they find evidence of other law breaking while executing the warrant, it's inadmissible in court. (unless they witness these crimes taking place)

They're only allowed to go after the crimes that they are already aware of.
Your last sentence is what interests me the most.

How many people will be out $1000 or $2500 if Tesla goes under? I'm assuming deposits are about as low a priority as you can get for recovering money in a bankruptcy?
>I suspect it will die a slow death, just like the 'The Civil War wasn't about slavery' schtick.

The dark ages I seem to have a more-clear picture of: derth of historical record, rise of Christianity, the Renaissance, the Enlightenment, technological progress, and unfortunate disease, all each contributed, and amalgamated into the public conscious of defining the era as 'dark.'

The civil war thing is really confusing. I grew up on slavery as the reason, then in uni had a prof tell me it was really about states rights. I've talked to others who had the exact opposite experience. Anyways, it's a super political and emotionally sensitive topic to people... But I had the impression the states rights narrative was not a recent thing.
That's actually complete wrong. Amazon did have 2 years of somewhat heavy losses (around 1999 to 2002), with one pretty dramatic loss the quarter the dotcom bubble exploded.

But after that, they turned a profit almost every quarters, generally very small compared to their revenue, but a profit, and when they lost money, it was also quite small compared to their revenue (apart from 2 isolated quarters in 2012 and 2014).

Basically, apart from it first 2 or 3 years, and some isolated losses, Amazon was, for most of its existence, targeting a slightly above 0% net margin, and succeeded at it, proving it was self-sustainable.

It's not the same as Tesla which is consistently losing around 10 to 20% of its revenue for nearly the past 10 years.
There is no oversight in a Devops world. New systems come up in protoduction, celebrations are had, and the data protection officers and security compliance officers remain in blissful ignorance.
I'd like to think that the US government changed the what it's measured because of changes to how the economy works (this is especially important for GDP calculations) and improved understanding of inflation.

Nothing deep, just how it will inch it’s way into our decision processes without us really thinking much of it.

> Outright dismissing positive change

They say that "logistical and legal burdens of keeping it outweigh its intelligence benefits", but the important criticisms weren't about it being expensive without results that justify it. Not a word about it being wrong or anything.

As for "dismantling", being skeptical of that is absolutely warranted, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Information_Awareness

> Although the program was formally suspended, its data mining software was later adopted by other government agencies, with only superficial changes being made. The core architecture of TIA continued development under the code name "Basketball."

Did you really have to create a new account to post this? Not folding clothes is not a solution.
I see the profit angle brought out often in these discussions, and as someone that has worked at one of these unicorns with a recent IPO, I'd like to point out that profitability is not a black-and-white consideration. A company has many financial dials and switches, and ours specifically could have easily been profitable if they had chosen to do so. It was a very intentional decision to funnel money towards further growth, which frankly I had/have no issues with. I suspect that is the case with many B2B unicorns; not sure the B2C ones could make a similar transition as easily if circumstances called for it.

Not sure the dotcom crash is comparable - those were the days of companies getting millions without so much as a business plan, and going public months after being born. Sure, the companies without solid fundamentals are not going to survive in the long run, but as an industry, I don't think we're anywhere close to the crazy old days.
