> Any Reason why Rails still does not include an any decent Auth by default?

If memory serves, Rails has quite good authentication built in by default.

If that's not what you meant, could you clarify?
I tend to think that battery cost has to hit some tipping point before vehicle volume matters much.

Of course vehicle sales can participate in improvements in battery cost, but there's plenty of investment there whether you are retailing cars or not.
Myself, no, but that has as much to do with the fact that I started using git long ago before either Fossil existed or before I learned of its existence. But to be fair, the OP's question did not ask "what are you using" but rather "what else is out there". Referencing Fossil is valid for a "what else is out there" query, even if one is not, at present, using Fossil.

I have looked at it from time to time, and having a whole turnkey "github like" interface all in one program is a nice feature that has its appeal. But I have not had a need for all of that (yet) so I have not made much use of it beyond experimenting.

There are two parts to this: work and your local community.

For work, you're not going to do it alone. Someone on the HR side (or just general management, if the company is still quite small) is going to have to be a willing sounding board for remote employee concerns.

On the social side, this might be supporting a policy (as Mapbox did, maybe still does) of flying remotes to the holiday and other big parties, as well as, if able, just having them in every month or two to work alongside the non-remotes and make those connections. When I first started, I'd fly from Portland to DC for a week every 6-8 weeks. It helped that I lived in DC prior for five years (before Mapbox), so it felt like a natural connection.

On the technical and process side, we had a policy of things not existing (or not existing properly) unless they were in written form. This included decisions, context, back-and-forth reasoning, announcements, etc. We used GitHub for non-code "tickets" this way, almost like an internal blog and topic-focused discussion forum. This broke down in later years, but even to the scale of dozens of people was a great way to make sure that being 3,000 miles away and three hours "behind" wasn't as isolating.

For the local community part, go to meetups. Organize a weekly/biweekly social gathering with likeminded friends or peers. Work in coffee shops or other places out of the house. I found that I went stir crazy when I first started remote, because I wouldn't leave the house and needed some human contact. Placing all of that expectation on your employer and not on yourself is unreasonable. It takes effort.
Regardless of the approvals for sure I won’t fly on it.
Life is too precious to waste it on a flying death machine.

This is great to see. In the past, I had wanted to apply to Stripe, but left saddened when they didn't offer remote positions as I've worked remote for the past 3 or 4 years.
Yeah, creating an orphan “gh-pages” branch is what I always do. Repositories that include build output in the main branch make me rather quite upset.

Your additional point about force pushing is a good one also. While I’ve been using separate branch I’ve still been commiting each new build as a new commit. But overwriting the initial commit makes a lot more sense actually.
As an owner of one of their cars, my issue has been is he is horrid with managing money in regards to Tesla. It just seems this way. The typical response of someone who isn't use to money and goes in boom and bust cycles with it. Get it and have relief then find new ways to blow before shoring up what needs it and building a base. He is like the people who never look back and build on what they have let alone finish it.

If they need to raise money then it needs to be focused solely on delivering cars. Not some future taxi service or robot what evers. It should only be towards getting the model Y line up and running on time and under budget, getting the full refreshes of S and Y out. then once you are profitable by year car company, then you do robo. taxi.

It is an inherent conflict of interest but the question is whether that conflict can be mitigated and, after mitigation, whether the potential risk/"cost" of that conflict to the shareholders outweighs the benefit to the shareholders. There would be at least a few downsides to prohibiting employee stock ownership: significantly higher salary expenses and (in theory) less employee motivation/incentive to stay at a company.

Historically we've said the pros outweigh the cons but I'm really not sure we can accurately assess the risk of insider trading anymore because the definition of it is constantly changing.
Does Keith Ellison not count? He famously wore a shirt that said "I don't believe in borders." He was a congressman from 2007 to 2019. What about Cortez who's slogan is "abolish ICE"? If there's a difference between open borders and completely defunding border enforcement, it's not a distinction that means anything to me.

Also, Castro is a 2020 primary contender. To count him out because he doesn't currently hold office is a bit silly. I guess Hillary Clinton wouldn't have counted in 2014 either?
The 'tent' was an improvisation when they realised their automation plan wasn't going to work. It was 1 of 3 lines I think, a way to expand capacity quickly.

Security-through-obscurity can be very effective by using it to throw up a smoke screen.

Case: you need to protect a web server. If you can successfully hide/spoof your OS/software fingerprint, an attacker won't know whether your server has vulnerable software. This makes exploit selection extremely difficult.

You can protect an already secure system from 0-day or unknown exploits by hiding whether you're running windows/linux/bsd/whatever with IIS/apache/nginx/traefik/caddy.

Of course this should not be used as an argument to introduce laws that limit the rights of repair shops, users or even security researchers.
> I would have thought open sourcing so much of it's framework

I have a pedantic correction here.

Instead of open sourcing the .NET Framework they wrote a new opensource framework (named .NET core) that is very similar to their closed source framework. Microsoft is currently supporting and expanding both frameworks.
I was merely arguing that the recent turn of events has not proven, Assange's theory about the consequences of being extradited to Sweden, nor that it was the right thing to jump bail.
After watching the accompanying video in the article, I don't find anything wrong with their implementation.

They are using it against existing mugshots and comparing to evidence provided by bystanders, security cameras, etc. From there any matches are investigated in the same way a bystander identifying someone in a photo lineup would be. The matches are not considered evidence, they are leads.

They also seem to be advocates for legislation to keep the scope narrow.
I can't speak for the parent commenter, but for the loneliness aspect I found a coworking space that is focused on community. It's a bunch of remotes and freelancers, so you see the same folks every day. It's kind of a "third place," although I guess that it's a second place since we all work here.
You have no proof that the billing API is the underlying cause. It seems like the root issue is from something else which is effecting multiple systems.

> My issue is mostly with the financial situation of the company. Its clear that the $35k M3 has been relegated as a "loss leader", and there's no work on actually making the car profitable at that price.

Doesn't it seem obvious that both processes and supply costs tend to improve over time? (this isn't Tesla specific actually)

A couple of simple examples:

- battery costs (they have been on a downwards trend for a while, and expected to keep falling)

- production/assembly line costs: initial hiccups are expected and costly, and as you fix them and learn to optimize your production, your costs also decrease. The rejection rate starts dropping, and rework costs also start dropping.

This is true of pretty much any production: you get better at it as you go, and generally your supply costs also decrease. As you get out of the ramp-up "hell" you start producing a lot more, which starts giving you economies of scale.

Lastly, innovation also offers improvements that can give you another knob. For example, the motors in the M3 are now being ported to Model S to improve the range. This gives an option to either offer a higher range, or keep the range the same but put in a smaller battery (where the savings are going to be). I expect incremental improvements in M3 to have a similar type of effect.

I consider all that "work". I imagine it will lower the production cost, given the same spec. That translates to profit, if the price point is kept the same.
I think they are in danger of neglecting Windows too much to the point of people leaving the platform. I personally wouldn't recommend Windows anymore. And almost nobody who isn't using Windows will use azure or .NET Core.
> From October 2017 to February 2018, there was a 315 percent increase in the number of cases of adults with minors fraudulently posing as “family units” to gain entry.

Gotta wonder what that comes out to as a percentage of all people trying to gain entry.

The statement also implies that DHS is already determining what is a "family unit" without DNA. Gotta wonder what their algorithm is there too...
Now compare with the locations of military bases, war-related factories, etc.

They still are. Azure is to Office 365 as Apple's rebirth is to the iPod. "Halo effect".

Office 365 was a classic Microsoft bundled cost play -- you have this big investment in your EA around the Microsoft ecosystem and you basically pay to put email in the cloud, and get Sharepoint and Skype for free. They then made deals on EA renewal to convert "on-prem" Office licenses to subscriptions to lock you in.

In subsequent renewals, Microsoft uses Azure gift cards like a "tax credit" to drive behavior without a competitive process. They're essentially applying the Office 365 playbook to Windows Server/Active Directory/SQL Server and eventually Windows Client. Example: You pay for Azure AD by getting ATP for "free".

It's not taking away from Satya, his genius is dressing up the classic Microsoft hard-nosed deal playbook and making it friendlier in key ways, and cutting the cord on legacy. (Which is a risk, as it's an opportunity for AWS, Google, Oracle, etc to sell) But ultimately, the strategy existed and was executed before with Ballmer, but with less charisma and humanity.

Chad Elwartowski could have done some basic research before starting his project.

Apparently he thought that Thai jurisdiction ends at 12 nm range (territorial waters). He build his platform 15 miles off the coast of Thailand. States can enforce laws in four areas: customs, taxation, immigration and pollution within 24 nautical miles (contiguous zone). That's anothe 12 nautical miles after territorial waters. Then there is 200 nautical mile EEZ.

Another thing libertarians don't seem to get is the customary law of the flag. As a (customary) rule, other states have no right to exercise prescriptive, enforcement, and adjudicative jurisdiction over foreign ships on the high seas. Stateless vessel (or platform) enjoys no protection whatsoever. There may be legal opinions that freedom of navigation should apply to them, but it's just an opinion.

Well, they're probably ongoing challenges that any company needs to consider--and I'd argue that culture and communications can be challenges even within a company location as it scales. I'd shy away from ever saying they're "solved."

But the fact that there are successful companies with a significant percentage of remote and/or distributed workers suggests that they can be solved well enough.

Thanks for explaining. This seems to be an expected value problem. If, indeed, there are many innocuous reasons for a loud scream (which I'm not convinced of) that may not need a police call, there are still some reasons that very much do need a police call.

The inconvenience of dealing with the police in the former is dwarfed by the value of them showing up in the latter, in my opinion. I would 100% most definitely want my neighbors to call the police every time they hear any screams from my wife or I.

Sweden never charged him with anything. As the link you've provided clearly states they've issued the "request for interrogation", and since he wasn't available prosecutor gave order for him to be brought in for the interrogation, followed by an Interpol warrant for arrest since he was now in another country. Only after interviewing him Swedish prosecutor would decide whether to proceed with the case and officially charge him with the crime, or would drop the whole thing.

It's not enough to have, 'Nobody is doing it.' If you want the full Musk analysis, you also have to do a 1st principles analysis of the true cost. Then you have to identify the factors holding things up across the entire industry. Is it that government regulation and meddling is distorting the pricing and scaring away competitors? Is it an entrenched industry with no motivation to innovate?

Often nobody's doing it, because "it" is truly stupid. What Musk is doing, is applying a formula for discovering when the majority are mistaken.

I think insurance rates are reflecting this, the Geico quotes I got so far for same coverage/6 months(300/300, $1k deductible), all these cars are about $40 - $45k.

2019 Model 3 - $530
2019 BMW 330i - $370
2019 Lexus ES 350 - $335

It's amazing that Geico wants 60% for Model3 compared to ES 350, which is a true 4 passenger luxury sedan.

I think Tesla is missing a trick by not clearly distinguishing the models for insurance purposes. The SR buyers are subsidizing AWD P buyers insurance.

This looks very close to what I was looking for about a year ago when I wanted to try my hand at making my own 'personal assistant'. I was thinking something like the Star Trek computer but just for data lookups and binary execution rather than calculations and data analysis.

e.g. "Computer, look up 'can cats eat pancakes?'" which would just open Firefox and input that in a DDG search, or, "Computer, play the song 'Never Gonna Give You Up'" which would open WMP and play that song from my offline music library. Ideally it would vocally respond with some pre-baked yes/no responses before executing the command.

Is that doable with your software? Does it have a Python API?

The burden of proof for being charged is just probable cause, which is quite low. You wouldn't be held very long- unless you're deemed a flight risk by a judge, you'd be let out on bail.

I think the risk is low for a random person, but if you're Julian Assange or someone equally interesting to the feds, and are known to use relatively sophisticated cryptography all the time, and an image of a phone taken at the border turns up evidence of a large encrypted partition that you denied existence of, I wouldn't put it past a prosecutor to put it to a grand jury and come out with an indictment.
