> With something like those early model Teslas there is a lot of custom one-off parts that are near impossible to find.

I guess the question becomes why did Tesla have so many one-off parts? Is it all attributable to being electric rather than gas?
To a degree. I don't know the authoring world, but my intuition is that it's a similarly difficult profession to make a living in -- returns are thin, breakout success is unlikely, but you can probably carve out a niche for yourself.

Same with TV/Movies. I watch what Netflix and Prime have, and generally don't buy a series or movie (unless it's something really special.)

Are they perfectly interchangeable? No, of course not. I'm sure there's a musician/author/tv show out there that would be my most favorite of all time and I'll never know it because I won't be exposed to it. I don't get hung up on that, and enjoy that I have a lot of pretty good options at any given time.
For me it is the get everything setup to work correctly in a "Windows" environment. Compilers, system variables, command lines (powershell, cmd and bash) and editor/debugger setup take a lot of time. Almost every new project I am forced to use a fresh machine so getting all this setup each time I start a new project is consuming (never mind downloading all the packages/libs I'll need).
Hah! That never occurred to me until you pointed it out.

As someone who avoids pain medication for medical diagnostic reasons, I have had FAR too many prescriptions for opiates in my 20s and 30s. They were unnecessary 75% of the time that had automatic refills! There was no oversight or followup beyond what you get asked for a medical marijuana prescription (which is a joke). Oh, you have had some pain anywhere for anything? Here's your refill.

What did I do with the ones I didn't need, which I was originally sent home with? Sold them or gave them away for recreational use after my recovery was over.

Opiates, in general, were poorly managed for decades. Vicodin just happened to be the most popular product and the producer never bothered to be responsible about the use of it's own medicinal product, despite being in the business of medicine. I'm sure J&J aren't special, as a company that would end up being willfully negligent in the face of a successful pain medication empire, but they were.
Yup, do-no-evil Google buys your credit card data for advertising purposes: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-08-30/google-an...

Some of it is academic study (BS and MS at Georgia Tech) -- that helped with the theory and a bit of the breadth. That said, most of what I know of modern virtualization was more or less "on the job" from working on Google Compute Engine. Lots of practical experience understanding virtualization boundaries, and really really enormous access to historical domain experts in the space.

I wonder have you ever had a dog? Because it sounds like you don't understand about leashing and dont know anything about muzzling really. Basically it sounds like you're pulling it out of thin air of your imaginary reality, "inventing reasons" as the other guy replying to you put it.
> When they looked at all recipients, the abuse/addiction rate was 3.27%.

The 3% figure includes includes those patients with a pre-existing history of addiction/abuse. Now it's debatable whether previous addicts should get opiates for chronic pain conditions, it's irrelevant to the specific question of opiate prescriptions create new addictions. Because by definitions those with a history already had a pre-existing addiction.

Regardless 3% is still an extraordinarily low percent for chronic pain patients treated for years at a time. For reference 3% is less than or on par with the abuse/addiction rate of long-term prescribed ADHD medication[1].

> In other words, 20% were clearly diverting to non-prescribed users, and/or already supplementing their opioids.

Your characterization of the findings are mis-leading. Opiates frequently metabolize to another active opioid inside the body. Morphine commonly metabolizes to hydromorphone[2]. Codeine metabolizes to morphine[3]. Oxycodone metabolizes to oxymorphone[4]. Hydrocodone metabolizes to hydromorphone[4].

Furthermore many of these metabolic pathways are only just recently discovered (like morphine to hydromorphone). The reality is that our current understanding and technology is not advanced enough to tell from urine toxicology which specific opiates were consumed and which are the byproducts of metabolism.

He'll need to not merely expand, but (almost) double sales just to earn back increased cost - and that is a business risk he's not willing to take. In a follow-up comment, he mentions the looming recession and how the last one destroyed his sales.
> If you have a virus-protection board or other special hardware

I've heard of all sorts of esoteric PC hardware, but I've never heard of hardware anti-virus boards.

Anyone know more about these? A web search hasnt produced anything useful.
I don't hide the fact that I work for Brave; I mention it in numerous threads and responses. What do you feel I handled differently on account of my association with Brave? Will gladly correct any mistakes.

To your question, Brave couldn't get away with modifying extensions on the fly. This would cause integrity checks on the client to fail. Not to mention, the code to do this would have to land in our public repos on GitHub, where we would quickly be tarred and feathered.

If you're capable of running the Tor browser, we encourage you to do so. Brave isn't as good as the Tor browser if you're smart enough to use the later. That said, if you need a browser that can also make non-Tor connections, etc., then Brave is probably more ideal.

The most downside of Python is this. Setting up the environment and dependency management is very confusing and hard to start in the first place. Especially for Python there are a lot of non-programmer users.

It seems to be easier to do right in the first place than fix everything. JavaScript yarn is really good but only based on npm already done most things okayish.

A good news is that modern languages like Go, Rust, Elixir, etc designed more carefully with this, providing much better experiences.
Edge lets you turn that off - on the New Tab page, click on the cog symbol (Customize) and you can choose from New Tab page display settings: Top Sites & My Feed, Top Sites, or Blank Page.

ChrEdge Beta can hide the news feed if you choose Focused view, but currently all they do is put it after the page fold, so you see it if you merely scroll down. I've sent a Feedback request saying that's something that might keep me using Firefox as my default, and supposedly that's a feature they're working on.

Visual Studio is a great debugger and an "ok" editor. Step outside the GUI, though, and it is in my view a pile of unnecessary complexity.

The worst part is that certain banks won't let you link an account that Plaid claims is supported based upon the routing number/account number.

So for example when I attempted to link based upon routing/account number at Simple, it told me I can't continue because I should hand over my account information for the other bank to Plaid instead.

I've done it, and then immediately changed my account info. So yes, technically Plaid has my historical data, but at least they won't get it going forward. It really sucks though, because it locks my money into a singular bank otherwise.
chrome has far more ads, they are just more subtle.
I love WebPageTest, but its API is lacking, and its public test agents (and thus results) are inconsistent. I made a private WPT server, with reliable test agents (proper hardware), and wrapped it in a back-end that periodically runs tests according to your schedule, and a front-end that consolidates results so you can see trends easily.

I realize you probably won't have much feedback until after a few days of monitoring, but any input regarding getting set up, marketing, your weekly summary email, etc would be immensely appreciated.
But in this new post, he points out that better art styles would likely mean he needs to sell 40k copies (wildly optimistic) instead of 25k (doable over a few years) and likely have to get some kind of up-front loan to pay for the increased costs of that art (he estimates an extra $110k). He suggests that would put the financial future of the (profitable for 25 years doing what he's doing!) company well into "gamble" territory.
It is true, lots of people were harmed, including the rank and file. But “rank and file” usually calls up images of honest, blue collar folks and factory floors. According to Smartest Guys In The Room, the rank and file of Enron were mostly MBAs in thousand dollar suits with a reputation for utter ruthlessness and extravagant pay. The electrical utility employees in that article were not truly Enron employees.

I do mention SafeBrowsing data in other reviews; if it didn't come up in the Chrome review, it may be the case that Chrome uses the Lookup API rather than the Update API. I would have to dig a bit more to confirm this.
Run the live video feeds from the vehicles through a style transfer AI that has been trained on Mario Kart, then secretly stream the result to a mobile app disguised as a free taxi driving game. All the app needs is a feature where the app turns off adverts if the player keeps completing taxi journeys without crashing the vehicle and you are good to go.
This whole subhread and this Elm mention are really interesting, thanks. Elm is a frontend language where I really understand the benefits of static more, because you're in a fairly controlled environment and your program isn't talking to a christmas tree of type system defying external services.

But for backend, the benefits of static sound attractive to me only on a program/product that is dominated by its internal business logic and has less interfaces to the unpredictable and constantly changing outside world. I think Darklang may be like this, from looking at the medium.com link?

Same here, but maybe the difference is that we install Windows 10 Pro whereas the author is a Windows 10 Home user? The article doesn't seem to state the version they are using.

Most annoying is that there are a large number of little bits of functionality that phone home or send information out into the ether: Windows Defender and its submitting of samples, searching via the Windows button, Task Scheduled telemetry items, a plethora of Control Panel privacy settings, etc. etc. etc.

Also annoying on Windows 10 Pro is that the same windows builds have slightly different functionality --- even if the machines have the exact same hardware.

For example, the Search History and Permissions is sometimes named Change the permissions and history of search, even for the same Windows 10 build. It's bizarre.

Also, don't get me started on the intellisense typing when the windows menu is open. (Really Windows, when I press the Start button and then type in Update, you search the web and show me Wikipedia information? And it takes like 5 seconds?)

Don't forget the lame This PC icon...

Sorry, this turned into a cathartic listing of Win 10 grievances. :)
It's a bit more nuanced than that. It's a lot easier design-wise to hit a given IPC at 1.0GHz than it is to hit the same IPC at 4.0GHz.
That's not what they're talking about at all. They're talking about learning how to learn a language. Learning a second language gives you meta insight into language learning, which makes it far easier to move onto a third language.

For example, I studied German in college. I never really progressed in it that much, but learning how to learn made learning Korean significantly easier for me. It happens that esperanto can be useful for this as it doesn't have all the small idiosyncrasies and exceptions that real languages have.

Stepping back a bit - To everyone saying CA was not that effective, over hyped, with poor data/algorithms; the documentary being the work of a bunch of disgruntled people - it is completely irrelevant.

This shouldn't happen in a functioning democracy. Democracy becomes meaningless and a sham in this scenario of mass data collection and individual targeting.
Shall we wait till the data is more accurate and the algorithms become better (ironically by us).

CA may just be a lightening rod. How many companies continue to do this effectively at scale. We know the answer to that and yet ...
I'm a model 3 owner as well, seems overly pessimistic for the Toyota without any good explanations.

However having just switched from a 2004 Forester XT to a new model 3 I can say that the maintenance was substantial. Over the life of the car it was over $100 per month and I spend $160 a month on gas. AWD, a big/heavy SUV, and a turbo doesn't do much for the MPG.

The looming spectre in the luxury/premium new/cpu/used car markets is almost everyone has switched to high compression 2 liter turbos... that seem not to last nearly as well as the motors they replace. Sure they do well on the EPA test, but less well in real world conditions. They also tend to have a surprising high chance of terrible failures shortly after the drive train warranty expires. Subaru has multiple generations issues with it's head gaskets (yes 2), BMW with the high pressure fuel pump, carbon build up, and plastic timing chain. I checked a bunch of forums from BMW, Toyota, Ford, and Subaru and it looked pretty scary.

One forum I read mentioned a sad story of a shortly after warranty engine destruction after taking it in to check on an engine light just the week before. Cost was around $20k for the new engine. That triggered 20 pages of similar sad stories. This was a few years ago and a month later BMW had a major change to it's CPO warranty which makes me think that it's not a particularly rare occurrence. The most common recommendation is when buying used to get an older car that still has a NA 3 liter turbo instead of buying a newer used car with the 2 liter turbo.

So I think a fairer comparison would be 10 year of electric car ownership vs ICE. After all nobody throws away a car after 3 years.
Proximity, mostly. I'm a Windows user. That said, I am planning on setting up a proxy connection to test Safari on my MacBook.
They are pirating windows. They could be fined anywhere from hundreds of dollars to 150k per installation.

They are also participating in a commercial piracy endeavor that the company who was issued the key AND Microsoft have an interest in shutting down. Ms because such endeavors attract customers who could otherwise trivially be converted into buyers. Companies because they could get audited and fined.

This is as illegal and higher risk than torrent sites.

You're already trusting their browser - if they were going to maliciously modify the Tor extension, they could do it inside the browser instead of in the extension download (e.g. not load the actual Tor extension but do their nasty thing internally)
I’m vegetarian and I take a bite of meat all the time, especially if it’s something special.

None of it is as good as great vegetarian food. Sure the top top top shelf stuff is probably as good. But the average meat at a restaurant or someone’s home is no better than great veggie food.

That said average veggie food sucks. If you are eating in the average-or-below segment then yes meat is probably better. In the good-to-great segment it’s not.

Veg food does require more work, which is a big part of why a lot of people/chefs don’t bother. Meat is basically perfect as-is. You just have to not fuck it up. Veggies require you do some chef work.
As i posted in other comment, the high spot process are entirely manufactured. The reason for the 14k spot price is because that is the cap. The energy suppliers have been gaming the market. Restricting demand for short periods in order to push up the price over the spot price period. This is entirely political (ie. Failure of regulation) and not at all about supply and demand.
Me too. It really reads like my data will be highly personalised otherwise, ie with names and other data.
The fundamental problem is that there is no singular, unified Microsoft; there is instead a loose confederation of warring tribes that happen to share a headquarters and a ticker symbol. And Windows is the battlefield on which these tribes hash out their disputes.

Tribe A thinks Windows should appeal to people who use and love open source software. Tribe B thinks Windows’ ubiquity makes it a great platform to run ads on. So instead of what most companies would do, which would be to figure out how these goals line up against a broader strategic vision of what Windows should be, at Microsoft they just let both tribes do their thing simultaneously until the leader of one tribe rises up high enough in the org chart to raze the other tribe’s villages and scatter its people to the four winds via a reorg.

This of course results in a deeply schizophrenic product, but that only matters to customers, and Microsoft gave up customers as a false god long ago. Now the only god that matters in Redmond is the God of Battle, and every PM sees his peers as obstacles that need to be cleared away for him to meet his destiny in Valhalla.
If you want something lightweight and based off of Ubuntu, go with Xubuntu. It's more like Windows 95. I do not think it's the trendiest but it's been a stable workhorse for software development. Xubuntu is fast on older machines and virtual machines. I was turned off by the main Ubuntu distro a while ago as it baked Amazon search and other commercial offerings into the desktop environment. (I don't fault them for trying to make money but it should have been opt-in)
