No, I do not see Teslas everywhere in the US. In fact, I see the same brands I've seen forever: Fords, Chevys, Hondas, Toyotas, etc. etc. Tesla makes a niche product for a dedicated few. How is this debatable?
I think certain lines of the Scandinavian defense can be considered aggressive, though the way you're supposed to play it involves moving your queen back to the back rank eventually (this loses tempo, however).

One of the running jokes of the Revolutions podcast is that to truly understand the history of the X revolution, first you must understand Poland. He keeps saying this because events in Poland triggered some surprisingly weird outcomes Europe wide, including arguably helping turn the French Revolution from a domestic affair to a continent wide war.
Completely agree.

This is not entirely a software fault. Someone must have thought that it was ok and safe enough to rely on data from one sensor.

The story of Python 2 to Python 3 migration, in a nutshell:

> Van Rossum argued instead that if the Twisted team wants the ecosystem to evolve, they should stop supporting older Python versions and force users to upgrade. Brown acknowledged this point, but said half of Twisted users are still on Python 2 and it is difficult to abandon them. The debate at this point became personal for Van Rossum, and he left angrily.
I think it’s more that I think there’s something fundamentally wrong about a company existing for 7+ years, spending billions and having yet to turn a profit.

It doesn’t really matter whether it is Tesla or Uber.
not likely IMO. i've found conda - which is their environment management tool - to be a hassle unless one needs specific numpy/scipy/GPU libs. i'm using pipsi and pew, although i'll look into pyenv.
Are you ignoring the entire rest of the article and focusing on just that one line? Go read the rest. It turns out there are race circumstances where women compete on equal footing with men, or may even have a slight edge.
No, go back and read my comments again. Stop debating something I didn't bring up and trying to push an irrelevant point of view.
"Who then maintains the proprietary software that keeps the vehicle running?"

There are a number of Tesla vehicles out in the wild that for various reasons no longer connect to Tesla and do not receive over-the-air software updates. Some of them are running software versions that are now several years old.

Sure, they don't get the latest software features or UI design, but as a car they still work just fine.
Free plugins with awful code usually are, wp itself might be okay if you know how to secure it properly - but that so much more technically demanding that almost no one does it. Being so prevalent makes it to a huge target.

SEO experts and social media marketers will tell you that nothing beats Wordpress, but that's not true I've seen plenty of static sites that are much more engaging, work faster and rank higher when they post good content often.
There's a whole lot of "might" and "maybe" being thrown around here. Honestly, I think the biggest factor in these longer distances is the smaller sample size. There just aren't as many elite athletes competing at the ultra distances as there are at marathon and shorter distances.

The article throws in a bit of speculation about how men might be socialized to run too hard at the beginning of a race. I disagree. That observation says, to me, that the men competing in these events are not as well trained, not as experienced.

Look at the men's marathon and you'll see everyone taking it easy at the beginning of the race! They have to hire people to push the pace in the beginning because the elite runners don't want to do it. That directly contradicts the speculation about male socialization.
Perhaps even more importantly, requiring the array to be mutable hurts composability in the age of multithreading, as it prevents the algorithm from being used concurrently on the same array by multiple threads.
time_ns = t[1].tv_nsec - t[0].tv_nsec + 1000000 * (t[1].tv_sec - t[0].tv_sec);
^^^^^^^ should be 1E9 instead
You also see this type of thing happen in long distance swimming. Dr. Julie Bradshaw holds many records for long distance butterfly swimming, including being the first to swim around the island of Manhattan only using butterfly (28 miles). I remember listening to a podcast about this, one of the theories is that women have a much higher tolerance for lactic acid build up, pretty much they can deal with sustained pain better than men.

Eh, it's perfectly viable. The average user doesn't give a toss about what 'powers' a website or app, they only care it does what it needs to.

> Governments are pushing electric vehicles through subsidies and mandates

Specifically, isn't this because of CAFE[1]? Gas mileage compliance is calculated per manufacturer. So BMW can keep selling 17mpg M3s as long as they're selling enough of those i3s[2]

Beyond that, you could definitely migrate iPhone production to, say, Foxconn’s production facilities in Guadalajara with appropriate production guarantees from Apple and satellite investments from other entities to replicate the PRC supply chain advantages. Not tomorrow, not even in the next few years, but the opportunity to reshore high-tech manufacturing is completely attainable.
So, pretty much like every other car in the universe that never gets a single update for its decade+ lifespan after it leaves the factory.
> Samsung Smartthings hub that has to offload even simple things to the AWS cloud

Doubly disappointing considering how much money Samsung has sunk into Joyent (though maybe it's not the same division of Samsung, and that's why they don't use it).

> RISC-V could make the market for embedded chips competitive again. RISC-V scales even more than the 360 did since you can put in just the features you want, thus you might be able to build something which is high performance but doesn't waste a transistor on features you don't want.

Crucially, I think, it lacks any unusual or frivolous features, so it is virtually free of surprises. For example, it's little endian because little endian won (because it is better).
There's this niche philosophy that punishment should fit the crime.

If they would focus on building cars they might have been there but they are betting the farm on FSD and its that short term push that might end up hurting the most.

Plus as an owner, their priorities are just whack. Next update we get a Sentry icon on the main display and, wait for it, animation of rain on the car if its raining. I guess that is better than video games.

A Toyota Camry, scratch that, Corolla, can respond to more voice commands than my TM3 and best yet, you can select through blue tooth or USB the music play list you want to play, and more, all without having to use your phone which is illegal in most states.

So love the car but I have my doubts about Tesla's ability to focus on what is required instead of pissing away resources on Easter Eggs like fart noises; I wish I were kidding
At this point the Tesla brand is so valuable that the company is unlikely to die. A more likely outcome is that Tesla will be partially or fully acquired by another company.

The Ford-Mazda partnership that ended around 2015 is one possible model.
This is not true. What he says in the memo is "it would take us 10 months to burn through the $2.3 billion we just raised at our Q1 burn rate"

They've guided for a "significantly smaller" loss in Q2, and positive cash flow in Q3 and Q4.

With $2.4 billion raised, $2.2 billion in the bank, and $2 billion worth of payments coming from Fiat Chrysler cash is not as much of a concern as the headline would suggest.
This issue is so important that you will not get agreement to disagree from me on this. I hope you don't have to deal with a loved one, or god forbid your own self, suffering from a horrible illness to see how idiotic your opinion is, because in addition to not being the fault of the suffer it is not a lot of fun. Then some jerk like you will come along and make that sufferer feel worse. So if you have it in you, please be less of a jerk.
Fascinating. I am just starting to study chess seriously this year, and devoured that thread with interest.

A question for the chess experts on here - is it possible to take your rating from around 500 as a rank beginner to around 1000 within a 12 month span? I kind of set that for myself as an ambitious goal once I've finished the study phase but have no idea how difficult a task that would be.
This sort of happened to Saab, but since they were basically badge-engineered GM cars at that time it is still easy to get parts.
> That's because the Sun is very different from an Earthbound fusion reactor. It runs at a very different temperature and density, using very different reactions. The analogy you are trying to draw is invalid.

No, the analogy he draws is the correct one: the sun actually works. "Earthbound" controlled nuclear fusion doesn't in any meaningful way relating to energy production. There's no reason physics should cooperate with us and make it possible; "wouldn't it be nice" wishful thinking isn't good enough, and the results thus far are all complete and total crap. It isn't that we haven't spent enough: we simply don't know how to do this -there is no reason to believe it is possible. All the results from inertial confinement, tokomaks, fusors, whatever indicates we really don't know WTF we're doing.

His other concerns are legit as well. If you can do controlled nuclear fusion, you have a really, really scary weapon.
They don't address one key part - what happens if an employer rescinds an offer after you have accepted it (whether for a valid reason or otherwise)? According to the article it would be a breach of contract, but it isn't all that rare in the industry.

Same for the reverse - if I accept an offer (based on just the offer letter), am I committing fraud by backing out of it?
How to remember what you read
Mangos are better.

But fruit that doesn’t come in a wrapper, due to the water exposure and things can be somewhat dubious quality at times. (By wrapper I mean a skin that’s removable).

Potatoes and eggplant generally tasted the same to me, as did carrots.

Jackfruit is much better in India too.

Interesting note about the chicken, and this is anecdotal, but I’m pretty sure the chickens are a different bread then what we consume in the US. The bones always seemed thicker with less meat. (Which I believe is a chicken that’s been less bread for consumption )
Its more expensive trying to fix broken code and working around other work arounds that should not be in production. Slows you down, bloats your code, makes it harder for new employees to learn the system when they come on board, etc.
The headline is misleading. Elon was just stating that the cash burn rate of the first quarter would eat up the newly invested capital in 10 months. He did nowhere say, that he expects the cash burn rate to stay constant, even without the savings he plans to implement. Q1 was a quarter with low deliveries - while more M3 were made than in Q4, less of them reached their buyers before the quarter end and thus a lot of them couldn't be accounted as a sale yet. All indications are, that in Q2 the total amount of delivered/sold cars will be quite a bit higher than in Q1, which also would improve the finances accordingly. Probably not enough to break even, hence the saving money initiative.
well Trump was elected president in 2016 and there might be a socialist elected president in 2020. so people realize.
So, what I'm seeing is that I currently have JQ, and if I get around to dealing with Postgre, I might also have SQL's JSONPath. And then if I get tired of juggling objects/dicts/arrays in my programs, I can also pick a not-quite-the-same JSONPath as a lib.

(Though the latter is unlikely, since Lisp and FP have taught me that a bunch of functions feeding into each other will do exactly the same thing quite fine.)
Sales tax should be earned by a state, as a way to finance the services they provide to businesses that sell products within their state. I say earned, because if it's the tax is not worth the benefits, new businesses will locate elsewhere. It's reasonable that business pay for the emergency services, roads, infrastructure, etc. that they use. Streaming service sales do not in any way increase the costs faces by a locality, so they shouldn't be taxing it. If Chicago wants to tax companies like Netflix they should convince them to locate there.
"The lower you go on the spectrum the higher the chances for comorbidity for a lot of other conditions, mitochondrial and metabolic syndrome, fragile x chromosome, gastrointestinal diseases and many many more horrific things."

Or the greater the likelihood that the autism symptoms are caused by one of these conditions as opposed to it being a primary condition. Fragile-x in particular is a genetic condition known for its physical and mental effects, much like like prader-willi syndrome or down syndrome. It's just as likely that effects from these conditions are being misdiagnosed as autism.

Your post seems confused more generally, though. What clinicians are diagnosing with ASD is a cluster of symptoms, not a specific syndrome. Symptoms can have multiple etiologies and that would still be useful clinically. A cold is treated similarly regardless of the exact viral strain causing the infection.

That a particular person doesn't have to deal with anal leakage is not an argument that they don't have a different condition.

"As an anecdotal evidence I managed to get myself diagnosed on the spectrum in the UK I went to an official diagnosis center and had sessions with an "occupational therapist", at no point have I ever seen a doctor not to mention a neurologist. As morbid as it sound I have that framed just by my ordained minister license which I got despite being Jewish."

If I was willing to lie to a therapist, I could probably get diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or any of a large number of disorders, but the presence of malingering creeps doesn't disprove the existence of those conditions.

This is a good question whether Tesla survives or not. If you buy a car that is heavily dependent on software, even if the brand does not go out of business, who will support it in 10 or 20 years? Most automakers do not support their vintage cars or make new parts for them.
Which places? I would imagine this might be true of e.g. basque people but even in cases where you can draw a clear cultural/linguistic lineage, that doesn't mean that population has actually remained genetically distinct / free from admixture in that time. Which isn't a bad thing, but I think it makes the claim to direct lineage not really true.

The only example I can think of that might fit the bill are the Sami. But I'm not an expert on Sami genetics or history. There's also the issue where you know people in an area may have been living a certain way of life for tens of thousands of years, but without ancient dna, how do you recognize an invading culture that left similar archaeological artifacts (like evidence of reindeer herding) but was genetically/linguistically distinct?
This is my foundational fear of losing Tesla. Love them or hate them if they were to sink I feel the large drive to compete with them goes away and we go back to business as usual burning dead dinosaurs. While Tesla isn't perfect by any stretch I do think they continue to be very important to the overall market progression and higher expectations of auto manufacturers.
Sure, it isn't exactly the same situation as a war, where one country is fighting his neighbor country to the death. But to say that the art of war has no lessons to teach those of us who are not literally in a war is ignorant.
Might I ask, did you do grad school in something related to carpentry? And if not, were there recommendations involved in the application process?
Isn't part of the issue mixing general purpose code that doesn't change very often (the kind that belongs in a standard library) with code that changes all the time (the kind that belongs on PyPI)?

I remember one of Go's core devs voicing some of the same concerns regarding the SMTP-library [0] a while back.

The default "Anaconda" install is like 7Gb after it grabs everything. Turnkey if you're using all that stuff anyway, but otherwise not particularly worth it. Miniconda on the other hand I'm finding meets my needs exactly. The base install is standard.

11 days for salaried employees is the average.

Anecdotally, I’ve had one job in the past 20 years that didn’t have at least 15 days PTO. Because of corporate policy, they wouldn’t budge. I asked for extra pay to compensate.
> This is not intended to be a (de)valuation of the software behind the platform and the effort to maintain the platform.

That's the rub. If you were running the service, just speaking practically, how many customers would you need at $10 / €10 per year to pay for the servers? How about to pay your salary? What if you wanted to hire one additional employee?

(Also, WordPress.com shows you ads unless you pay at least $36 / year -- and they're large enough that they could reduce the price to whatever they want, unlike a bootstrapped service starting from $0.)

But there's also the valid point you mention, which is that many people have no more than a passing interest in blogging, and thus might not value a blogging platform at more than the price you suggested. We see this happen with Write.as. But then it might actually make more sense for platforms to charge more -- think about if you were just starting out a workout routine. Would you be more willing to go to the gym regularly if you were paying just $1 per month for a membership, or $40 per month? An investment in the tool helps you invest in the habit.
Considering that a large portion of HN readers are technical and data driven, I would think/hope that they are not invested in individual stocks with any significant amount of their net worth and are instead taking the approach that the data bears out which is to invest in low fee index funds.
> Sure, in Perl these are called "dual-life" modules. It makes things easy for users, but makes the life of the compiler-maintainer worse.

Well, yeah, but you're not going to have much of a language at all if you optimize for quality of life of the language maintainer.
Please Elon focus on SpaceX and Boring Company. Tesla has already succeeded. You’ve made gasoline cars uncool and all the major car companies are coming out with electric models. Tesla is just a giant drain in your time now.
He was set up. He successfully argued entrapment, and was acquitted:

"Most people on the spectrum will require help to go to the bathroom or complete other basic tasks so them making medical decisions is unlikely."

What's your source for this claim? Is this the majority of all people diagnosed with ASD, or just the majority of people diagnosed with ASD that you believe should have been diagnosed?
Neither of those companies lost billions before reaching break-even or profitability.
Understanding the fork system call in Unix
I worked for a company that had a similar take on spending. The company was extremely profitable and brought in greater than 1 billion dollar in revenue. Yet any PO that was greater than $100 needed approval by the CEO. Not only that, the PO had to be typed on a manual typewriter (this is 2007) using carbon paper, and hand-delivered to a number of people to start moving up the chain. The process intentionally took MONTHS for the approval to go through.

This resulted in engineers that would purchase their own equipment and bringing it to work to use because they couldn't wait a month for a $200 piece of equipment. It was common to have lab benches full of used equipment from ebay that engineers purchased to get their jobs done. This created an interested dynamic in the lab when it came to sharing equipment (most of it was not shared). Also, scary to know that since a lot of used equipment was being relied on, a large portion was not calibrated and could be outside spec.

There is a lot of value in creating a thrifty company culture, but sometimes it goes too far and hinders the ability for engineers to do their job. In the end, everyone is responsible for ensuring the purchase they make are wise and necessary for the success of the company.
this so-called pension crisis has been clear for well over a decade, bare minimum. It was heavily discussed circa 2000.
