Spiegel is remarkably and consistently wrong about everything related to TSLA, yet always full of sound and fury about it. From the aspect of a relatively neutral observer (me, although I like Tesla) he's a remarkable character study. I often read his Twitter in a state of bemused horror.

He runs his "long-shirt macro hedge fund" out of his 1 bedroom upper east side apartment but probably manages (significantly) less than 10MM USD, although he stopped releasing figures. I'm fascinated by how someone ends up like him. The absolute insistence in his own ability despite all reasonable evidence to the contrary is something to behold.

I have to acknowledge the possibility that his public personality is at least to some extent a performance, perhaps designed to raise his profile among potential investors. But he's so consistently and thoroughly repulsive (see his pinned Twitter non-apology for a since-deleted "joke" involving Epstein, Greta Thunberg, and child rape) among others that I don't think it's all performative.
I think the funniest part of this story is how much Portugal spends on the corpse removal & burning. The vultures do the job for free!

Another example of this is in The Biggest Little Farm. The farmers have a problem with gophers. The "traditional" ways of handling gophers are all very expensive or have bad side effects. They figure out that if they attract owls to their farm by building owl houses, the owls take care of the gophers.

Both of those are good examples of letting nature work for you, rather than you trying to work against nature. For humans to have a sustainable future for tens of thousands of more years, I think we need to figure out how to work side-by-side with nature rather than try to bend nature to our will.
I used to work in fast food. I would gladly get paid less per hour for my current software development job than I was back then (as long as it was above making rent). It was a much more draining job and it's effects consumed every waking minute during work days and spending off-days just recovering.

That kind of job should have risk bonuses. Significant ones. Most people just can't do that and pursue anything else. Getting stuck is a real fear.
Part of me says "Now this is a mentally healthy thing to do!" with regards to Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I found social media has been becoming emotionally toxic and highly argumentative. it's so refreshing to not go on twitter in 6 months, only look at facebook to check up on remote friends and once in a while check Instagram to see what friends cross the country are actually doing; minus the false "Look at this new fancy thing!" :)

Do you avoid social media these days? I enjoy HNs because its informative around technology; not politics etc. So relaxing.
I could've sworn somebody was planning to use lasers to communicate from the satellite to a ground station, claiming it would improve latency. Maybe I misread.
Where’s the charging network? Why do you not mention 100-150 miles less range when comparing the Taycan to the S and X?

“The maximum range for the Taycan is listed as just 450 km (279 miles) on the WLTP test cycle. The Audi is rated at 255 miles on WLTP and 204 on the U.S, EPA cycle. When the Taycan gets its EPA certification, it will likely have a range of around 220 miles.” - Forbes

SQL has definitely become the defacto tool for a lot of data processing. This model of working is generally referred to as ELT as opposed to ETL.

For small/medium scale environments Fivetran/Stitch with Snowflake/BigQuery using getdbt.com for modelling is an insanely productive way to build an analytics stack. I consider this the default way of building a new data stack unless there's a very good reason not to.

For larger scales Facebook has Presto, Google has Dremel/Procella/others, and a lot of data processing is done using SQL as opposed to writing code.

The only downside really is that it tends to be fairly focussed on batch pipelines (which are fine for 95% of workloads). But even that is becoming less of an issue with Beam/Spark so you can use SQL for both batch and streaming.

I thought Tesla superchargers have faster charging speed? They have 150kW charging, is Porsche doing something better?

OP said Taycan is the new Model S, I think that your comment vs. mine highlights that this isn't true -- Taycan customers are not the same as Tesla customers. Tesla customers get a good bang for their buck -- speed, range, charging network at a cheap price. Porsche customers get brand, design, & build quality.

Someone who values what Porsche has to offer probably was never interested in a Tesla.

Meanwhile a Model 3 Performance -- the same speed as the Taycan -- costs $90,000 less.

Why are they burning Iranian flags?
The Iraqi people have been suffering silently for the past years; they are trapped between ISIS, Iranian influence, destruction of the war, and the US-backed corrupt government. People are fed up.
n=2 now. My wife works a 1.0 FTE that the district rates as 1.6 to 1.8 FTE (seven classes per day). She works 50h / week at the absolute minimum.
The Taycan is more expensive and has 100 less miles range than the S.

The VW ID.3 is ugly, and it's long range version is 100 less miles than the Model 3 long range version.

Neither have Tesla's charging network either.

Range and charging is the most important thing about an ELECTRIC car. 100 miles is a big gap, and every car coming out has that gap.
You would hope an increase in cost is correlated to an increase in the quality of care.
>It will still be owned by a private company you have no control over

I don't have any ethical justification to enslave or coerce or control a person. Why should I have any ethical justification to enslave or coerce or control, if a group of people get together (a company) to do something?
It it amazing that people take the UK Labour Party seriously.

Their policy ideas are very unusual, they often make no economic sense (even internally), they consult no-one outside trade unions and their hard left sect grouping within the Party (Momentum), they use no research or any evidence to make policy proposals...it is extraordinary.

With this idea O'Donnell literally announced it, and then tried to fill in the details later (iirc, this came out months ago, and it was a total mess, it made no sense...and they have been trying to polish it ever since). For a modern political party (they aren't modern, most of their ideas are from the 70s), this is unusual.

The sum total of their policies involve either taking stuff from other people or redistributing power to their party. One other gem of theirs was moving the BoE back under govt control, printing £100bn, and then appointing their allies to spend it...I am yet to come across anyone who takes their ideas seriously (it isn't only this, the guy responsible for this policy has also said he is going to "lynch" people...srs).

Increasing the level of knowledge amongst voters is really critical. Economists and, in fact, most of the people in the Parliamentary Labour Party do not take these policies seriously. They aren't serious. Voters in the UK really deserve better.

What's the incentive for Wall Street "to play dirty"? Analysts at investment banks need to retain good relationships with the CEOs of the companies (they are not allowed to disclose any market relevant non public information but it still helps tremendously with their work) as well as the investors (by making good forecasts and retaining them as clients).
Last year for Halloween, I dressed as Hunter S Thompson (Fear and Loathing style). I remember being out and people remarking they really liked the costume, but how well I portrayed him. One person asked, "Are you on ether?" I replied, "No I'm on the spectrum." My normal body language movement is very fluid, seldom still. I don't hand flap, but I'm certain I have my own things. I feel masking will never do anything to change the conversation or raise awareness. ASD isn't entirely a disability, in fact to myself and likely many on this site (if you have it), there are aspects that are extraordinary if not super-human and quite beneficial day-to-day. The conversation about ASD seems to revolve only around the disabling aspects - expecting people to be something they are not, because their default mode is 'bad' does nothing to help.
Like you, I assume, I'd love to see more remarkable innovation, but the reality of innovation is that it's mostly a slow grind where most of the value is in optimizing the current paradigm until it breaks and we have to figure out a new 10x paradigm.

There are also dynamic effects where incremental innovation makes future radical/disruptive innovation easier.

Since most technologies are combinations of previous technologies, it's rare to find completely new technologies/inventions, and that's ok.

The fact that to reach their potential, innovation must be diffused through society also bounds the pace at which it can go. As that infrastructure develops, standards emerge that allow for innovation to be distributed faster. But then, in turn, as the underlying technologies improve incrementally, they also ossify as an infrastructure, which might delay bigger innovations.

The question of where the disruption/incrementalism equilibrium lies and what its ideal position can be is very interesting and, I find, understudied.
Yes, I use yabai daily. It still feels a bit awkward but far less so than the rest I've tried. I might need to improve my config though.

I can confirm that this is accurate.

There are a few tiers and it varies seasonally. I run a YouTube channel with ~80k subscribers at the moment and I get about $3CPM (price per thousand). I actually make closer to $5 and even $6 around the holidays as ad prices go up.

But if you are just starting out on YouTube, you are given lower paying ads. You'll see yourself getting CPMs in the $1-$1.50 range. After hitting 50k subscribers it jumps up dramatically. The really premium ads are reserved for whitelisted accounts that belong to certain approved video networks and can earn $5-$8 CPM. These are generally channels with 1M or more subscribers.
For a couple similar use-cases (write rarely, read many times, JSON data) I ended up using actual JSON files, on disk. Time to read and parse them is very small compared to asking Redis or PG for it, and this benefits from the Linux disk cache, which makes reading from those most-unchanged files almost the same as reading it from memory.
Windows Mobile phones had everything bar capacitive screens years before the iPhone, and tablets were a thing for years, as well. So please, stop with the "revolutionary" nonsense.

You can make a habbit-routed physical mesh-net, where people smuggle huge encrypted packages from the few "entry points" to the recivers on there phones. That way the urge for total surveilance (everyone has his/her phone on all the time) contradicts the "block all phones all the time". Its also very unrealistic to demand constant phone searchability for the government- and if the app is virus based, gives the users even plausible deniability.

Imagine your daily habbits, as a sort of plankton zoo constitued by constellations of cellphones. Shape is specified by agreement on habbit and predictability. The bus driver always knows that the group will behave, shape and dissolve in a predictable fashion. He will be able to predict fixed on-route contacts (home-routers / other entitys). Thus one cellphone with the mesh-net routing virus, can predict and promise a best effort delivery of a package of data to other habbit plankton on route.

You could smuggle a whole youtube video in one go out of country, simply by having it passed to other civilian phones, until it reaches a phone on the way to the airport. After its on the web, with some proof, it could decrypt its inner layers and travel by conventional means to the actual adress.
Huh, TIL. That's really cool!

This comment is really unbecoming of me. I honestly was just kinda peeved at the entire conversation and should have passed by without leaving a negative thought.
Yeah, probably not much point in making an internet connection that only works without cloud cover.
The source needs some consideration. From Wikipedia on National Affairs:

“National Affairs is a quarterly magazine in the United States about political affairs that was first published in September 2009. Its founding editor, Yuval Levin, and authors are typically considered to be conservative.[1][2] The magazine is published by National Affairs, Inc., which previously published the magazines The National Interest (1985–2001) and The Public Interest (1965–2005). National Affairs, Inc., was originally run by Irving Kristol, and featured board members such as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, former ambassador to the United Nations Jeane Kirkpatrick, and author Charles Murray.”

Additionally one of the authors works at the American Enterprise Institute, ie., his job is to promote a politically conservative narrative on issues like these.
No, you need people be handling personal data, not any data.

Who said anything about justification? Profit or power is the motive. Those need no justification to their pursuers.

I bank with USAA. I’ve never been in a branch in my life and they are amazing.

Their support is really good and always human.

I also bank with Citi, BA, and Chase. They have tellers and suck so much.
Great question!

As it applies to new real estate specifically, you have a lot of materials, labor taxes etc to deal with. These are the most common sorts of business debts that I've been exposed to.

For existing real estate, I see value of things going up in value largely due to population increase in a certain area combined with the fed printing money (which it claims to do so constantly because the population will always be increasing?). I also see values wildly inflated due to foreign investment. A big issue in general is also due to the banking sector. I think the US government allows banks to go a little crazy with lending to everyone on anything without recourse. That being said, I personally benefit from the system allowing me to borrow money so cheaply.

Sorry if this post was a bit disorganized. I have a lot of thoughts on it and it is a great thought experiment. :)
It sounds like they're doing "build a solution for a problem you know".
As much as it sucks, it sounds like you dodged a bullet on that one.
Nice! I'm excited! I've been working on a heavy NLP project with spanish and been having some issues and so this will be nice to test out and see if it helps!

IMO, a disadvantage of SQL is that it was designed for batch processing, not for modern editors. If you type

select foo, bar from baz

auto-complete cannot help you type the field names because it doesn’t know what table(s) you’ll be querying. On the other hand, LinQ’s

from baz select foo, bar

allows your editor to auto-complete the field names for you.
It must expel it to a high degree. I can't imagine any significant amount of 52 credit cards worth of plastic a year being retained by the body. That would mean that I have approximately 1500 credit cards worth of plastic in my body just layin' around after my 29 years of livin'.

I can tell ya - I'd notice 1500 credit cards worth of plastic hanging out in my body. That's 5g * 1500 = 7.5kg (16.5lbs) of plastic.
Ask HN: Manufacturing & selling EspUSB WiFi Keyboard
Back in 2016, [cnlohr] designed the EspUSB, a little gadget that fits inside a USB port and works as a wireless keyboard [1]. I plan to use it to help me type Chinese on the virtual keyboard on my phone directly into my laptop that doesn't have key engravings, and also for typing on a Raspberry Pi.

I waited for 2 years for someone to start manufacturing it and selling it online, until I finally gave up and asked PCBWay to build it for me. It's too small to solder by myself. The boards actually work and I'm really excited! I'll write a blog post about it soon. I bought 3 units for personal use.

Now I've had 7 people ask me to put them on eBay/Tindie/CrowdSupply and start selling them. It would be really easy for me to just order 50-100 units from PCBWay, solder programming wires onto test points, install the firmware myself, and ship them on to people. I'm willing to do that for zero profit, but I'd have to take revenue to pay for postage.

The problem is that the Esp8285 is a WiFi chip, and that's an "intentional radiator" that needs $10,000 FCC certification [2]. There is an FCC exception for "home-built devices" in quantities of 5 or fewer. [3] To sell in Europe, they need a CE certification, with different rules and more expense.

The people who want to buy these just want a simple "buy" button, not a complicated manufacturing process.

My questions are:

a. How do I not get sued? If I start a limited liability company, does that protect me?

b. If I sell a "firmware-programming service" so that I'm not actually selling the devices, per se, is that any less illegal?

c. What about tax? Everything gets so complicated when money is involved.

If you take a look at their quarterly production numbers, things don't look so rosy- they jumped from ~25000/quarter in Q4 2017 to 80k/quarter in 2018, but have not really moved the needle that much since then- this past quarter was 96k (96,155 if you want to get pedantic). Its fine growth for sure, but certainly not in a hockey stick matter- it makes me wonder where the disconnect is- how and when are they booking the revenue, and can this be expected to continue to jump if production isn't growing accordingly.

All the while, they are still losing money. This is not just about cash flow, this is about actual earnings. You have to look into where the disconnect there is as well to make a bull case.

I think your approach makes more sense when thinking about databases directly. If you're using an ORM, you can use a view but it's kind of awkward. I see this as being more useful in that ORM universe--it just ends up being a read-only field on your model.

Actually they aren't doing so great. Everything has changed.

Before last year it was basically just Tesla and a few token cars e.g. Leaf in the electric vehicle space. Now every car company is jumping in and any detractors e.g. BMW CEO are being swiftly moved on.

And so Tesla is now competing against the most highly capitalised, profitable and experienced companies in the world. Porsche Taycan is based on every review the best EV car money can buy. VW has the ID.3/ID.4 coming out shortly which look seriously good and they have plans for 70 models to be released in the coming decade. You have startups like Rivian which are attracting significant outside funding and disrupting segments. And at the cheaper price points you have dozens of Chinese manufacturers entering the fray.

Tesla is about to have the fight of their life and all while they are losing hundreds of millions each quarter.
Was just curious... I don't use/own any iDevices, so no personal experience in that space. For Android, it's worked out pretty well for me.
