Off topic, but after my daughter was born I realized how sad and worried I was that she wouldn't be familiar with looking up at the sky on a clear night and seeing the Milky Way. Stuff like what's in this article is much more intuitive if it's part of your schema of the night sky; it's more difficult to appreciate when it's invisible.

She's too young to appreciate it now when I point it out to her when we have the opportunity, and I worry that when she's old enough to appreciate it she'll be someplace she can't see it. For me it was a common thing up until I was a bit older, and now it's uncommon to be in the right place at the right time to see it. I wonder if the unlit night sky will become something like old-growth forests or other ecological sights that are long gone.

> MPEG-DASH live streaming

IMO that was more dictated by server-side complexity. A multimedia streaming server, especially for live video, that is optimized end-to-end for robustness and efficiency can be a very complex beast. Streaming transcoding, metadata injection, buffering, etc are difficult on their own. Doing them together in a unified fashioned is especially difficult. Solutions like GStreamer that abstract this away and make it conceptually simple are also extremely inefficient at scale. (Take it from someone who wrote an entire end-to-end solution that could do M:N codec, format, and transport transcoding, per-user streaming ad injection, and a bunch of other stuff. I could do 5k+ live audio streams, each with unique ad injection/splicing, with most of the pipeline occurring on a single E3 Xeon core--the socket writes to 5,000 clients from a single thread and the resulting ethernet interrupts that caused that CPU to max out. Reusing solutions like GStreamer or FFmpeg directly in your pipeline you'd be extremely lucky to get 1/10 of that, and more likely 1/100 at best.)

MPEG-DASH permits the incoming media processor to simply dump a bunch of files to disk. The client facing service can then serve those up however it wishes--it can be completely dumb or incredibly smart, but importantly both halves can evolve on their own. You could do codec and rate transcoding as a third, middle component. And you could break these components down even further, as "everything is a file" is the most basic IPC interface we have. This makes iterative development much easier.

IME, MPEG-DASH is pretty much what you'd get if you began with stodgy old (relatively) commercial broadcast equipment using nasty broadcast framing standards and organically built a streaming pipeline from scratch, without ever having the benefit/burden of knowing how to do performant streaming server development, or even how existing solutions worked. The multiple files non-sense was never necessary for client compatibility or network filter bypassing. Apple had solved that with RTSP-over-HTTP tunneling years prior, as did Flash with its clunkier RTMP solutions later.

Ah ok, the burden of proof is on me. Your powerful logic has defeated me and now you are safe and sound with your smart speaker which doesn't eavesdrop on you.
You're misguided if you think we can prevent the coming climate catastrophe without making any sacrifices. It's not technological solutions or make tough choices. It's both. Perhaps your path would work if we started down it in earnest 40 years ago, but it's too late now. We're not going to turn this ship around with half measures.
At least the graph in the article is "adjusted" for the 10-month work year. Typically in such discussions, that would mean they multiplied teacher salaries by 12/10 to make them "comparable" to other professions.

+1. IMO the move is to focus on this type of devices and then move to foldable screens if/when both the technology matures, and there is solid demand for this form factor.

The foldable display seems cool, but also seems to be, IMO, an expensive solution looking for something we don't know to be a problem yet. The problem is having no screen at the hinge. How big is this problem though? In theory it's nice but people don't even have foldable devices in these form factors yet. For all we know, most people might not mind the dual-screen approach, just like a lot of people have not minded the notch or other shortcomings of previous and current devices.

Brains are messy things and the argument of the article linked is reductionist (as are most papers which make hand-wavy assertions that one brain is "similar" to another). MRI studies with small sample sizes such as the one linked are almost always underpowered [1]

All the study conclusively proves is that both trans women and regular women don't react as viscerally to porn as much as the average man. The actual connectivity and structure that yields similarity in activation between trans and cis women may be completely different.

Most people's teeth are sensitive to cold. They like to use straws to be able skip the teeth while ingesting a cold beverage. This is why the straw was invented -- to make it easy to consume icy cold drinks.

Very strange that this must be explained to people who think straws are completely superfluous. If they were superfluous, people wouldn't be using them. This is a great example of Chesterton's Fence. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Chesterton%27s_fence

Unfortunately this is a widespread problem that dominates environmental activism in privileged wealthy countries. I wouldn't necessarily call the Straw Banners "Bad Actors" or "Trouble Makers", just foolish people. You have people venturing into areas they know nothing about and suddenly start trying to ban things before even understanding what the issues are. Serious people know that reducing plastic use or the production of plastics is not the issue, but having secure disposal systems is how you keep garbage out of the ocean. Moreover, the problem is almost entirely in the third world where secure disposal systems don't exist. Nothing that you do or don't consume here is going to make a difference in terms of what ends up in the ocean.

It sounds like these houses are poorly/cheaply designed. You wouldn't get some no-name car brand without checking up on who built it. There are prefab tiny houses but they're still pretty expensive. The problem is houses are too expensive so people cut corners wherever they can, including getting a proper architect / designer.

I'm not sure there's any solution to lowering prices besides another real estate crash.
How does one acquire the necessary funds for larger projects when one does not personally have the funds to do so?

Debt always needs to be measured against the value of brings. Does the interest make up for the value you were able to generate today and throughout the lifetime of the debt repayment?

IMO, there is good debt and bad debt (and a gray area in between). My personal rule of thumb is, does that debt render me revenue above the monthly repayment and will it do so through the lifetime I hold it? That is good debt. The rest is bad.

Now, you can argue that other debts provide more than monetary benefit. That is where the gray area is. That is a personal decision.

Anyone out there achieve fsck you money? I have been between gigs this summer and brainstorming inventions. I seem to come up with one or two a week, but have only written down the most viable ones, so have maybe 20 or so that could provide FU money to someone, if a way could be found to manufacture them.

To be completely honest, this is why I find stories like this a bit disheartening. I'm happy for anyone that wins a large amount of money in the internet lottery, but I worry that countless other people will never have a chance to make it because they're too busy making rent each month.

If I had anything above the amount of money it would take to retire (roughly $2-5 million), the rest would go to grants and setting up inventor think tanks. I know that number varies, and mine might even be low (I live in the northwest), but surely everyone has considered a number of their own.

If you made it and are interested in funding inventors, open source projects, things of that nature, it would be great to hear your thoughts on being a benefactor for people who maybe aren't great at business but whose ideas could potentially change the world. Even anonymous replies would be a great resource for how to think about connecting philanthropists with makers.

> And even a 20% raise wouldn’t allow her to afford a home, or to send her kids to college without a huge debt burden.

For many state college systems in the US $40k and below is the magic cut off for family income where any kid accepted not only gets 100% of all tuition and fees paid for, but all room and boarding is paid for as well. So in your mom's case her cost of sending kids to college would be nothing. From $40k to $50k it doesn't cover room and board though, so families in that range will expect to pay $12,000 a year or so for that, minus the $6000 Pell Grant they'll get for being under $50k.
Tesla doesn’t calculate margins the same way other manufacturers do. Take with a grain of salt.

Take lots of notes on things you notice. Build relationships with people. Figure out what they do and what they care about. That way you'll know who to go to when you have questions, issues, need favors. Have short intro meetings with lots of people, ideally informal. Lots of coffee. Ask them what challenges they're facing, and what you and your team can do to help them. Consider doing some of those things, especially those things that your manager / team / team lead / etc wants you to do. Ask your manager and co-workers who you should start building relationships with.

Yeah, the SEC did. After the contempt hearing, they had to renegotiate what constitutes "material" information as a part of their settlement, and that was essentially Musk/Tesla's wake-up call of "Oh, we only just BARELY got out of that mess". So as a result, they've actually been following what the original spirit of the settlement was meant to enforce.

Of course, we're still seeing issues where Musk is getting sued for threatening workers on Twitter for unionizing, but that's a slightly different issue than lying about production predictions.

And when expenditures have been cut to the bone because of financial hemmorage. Tesla is similar to WeWork and Uber in this respect.
Also, I'm not sure debt should be reserved for emergencies. Sebt is much better for growth related activities. What can I do now with money that I know will increase in value over the interest? You're essentially buying the future.

Insurance or collective money pools are much better for emergency issues if they are not incentivized to profit off of its members.

Good point. As a thought experiment, can you answer why the larger project costs more that what an average person can already afford?
It was popular briefly on HN back in 2015, so it had a late start compared to Mongo which was maybe 2012? And the commercialization of memcached was perhaps noticed most by PHP devs, as memcached is common enough with Wordpress and Drupal, though Redis might have overtaken it some. I always thought couchbase was a very interesting idea but never had the chance to seriously suggest it at work. These endorsements actually help me consider it, but at the time it seemed like they didn’t do a great job explaining who was using it and why/how it made a difference. I’ve heard more, recently, about using DocumentDB or CockroachDB than it, actually. And most places I work at are still riding the Postgres/Oracle/SQL traditional database shop, where it’s easier to introduce Redis or Memcached than to switch where all the data is stored. Using it for a new project would require buy in, but might be viable.
I have to wonder if maybe Google's management weren't right. Why are Google in cloud, a low margin business?
Not to be too cynical, but it’d be pretty straightforward to at least tell where the ground-based terminals are if they’re shooting lasers into the sky. Not sure if laser-based systems use IR or UV or what (presumably whatever has the least amount of atmospheric attenuation), but airborne cameras could likely pick it up pretty quick.

And for the most brutal dictators: laser-guided bombs are already a thing...
So we are playing the move the goalpost game.

Iraqi here (But I live in Turkey), protests were raging yesterday and today, first social media was taken down now the whole internet from mid (Baghdad) to the rest of the south of the country

Here is a local service monitor for all major ISPs in Iraq: http://akonet.info

This is the usual procedure by the "freedom" government they do this every time, the only issue is this time the protestors are not carrying any flags or any political or religious figures names etc... only the Iraqi flag and burning Iranian flags,

so far it's people(sometimes people and the army) vs government... few people got killed already, there is news the Baghdad airport has fallen into the hands of the protestors, and most of the main roads are blocked and crowded with people

All cities are offline except Kurdistan up north

Fair enough, I was just answering where the number came from.
If you mean GAAP v non-GAAP, almost all manufactures release both numbers as does Tesla. Yes, 19% and 15% are different numbers - they're also both very non-negative numbers. This is posted ad nauseam and is absolutely untrue.
I'm sorry for being pedantic here - but your final sentence does not necessarily follow from the previous.

Lowering ARPUs and tightening gross margin % are an issue - yes. But the single most important factor here is gross margin in absolute terms. If sales volume increases to offset decreasing ARPUs, this doesn't make 'Tesla's fiscal position simply unsustainable'.
