$143M GAAP / $342M Non-GAAP Net Income. $371M free cash flow.

GAAP Gross Margin 18.9%. That is before G3 comes online which will, I believe, have an upward case for margins. That is the big news here today. And that is really great news for Tesla.

Over $5.3B cash on hand. TSLA is in an amazing position going into Q4 and 2020.

Highly confident of exceeding 360k deliveries for 2019.

Just an amazing run up to the end of the quarter.

For added inspiration, check out a flyover video of G3 with the loading docks starting to fill up:

> The crossover/SUV/Truck sales is the most interesting to me. I wonder if that will self-perpetuate, since the presence of larger vehicles seem to make other drivers feel less safe, which make them want larger vehicles, which makes the remaining sedan owners feel less safe....

It's not just the mass of the vehicle too. Here in southern California it definitely seems like there's an arms race of headlight brightness where the victims are smaller/lower cars, especially those without dimming mirrors. I really wish the authorities (or maybe insurance) started looking into headlight brightness/angling.

Just lost power as of 2:19 pm with no real notification yet again.

https://pge.com/outages says No Known Outage :/

Call their number to report an outage, just crickets (complete silence).

EDIT: Now (at 2:33 pm) it says:

In Boeing's current state, I don't think chapter 11 would achieve much. Their total debts aren't that large compared to their overall revenue and assets. Boeing's real current problems are poor management leading to poor corporate culture, and chapter 11 won't necessarily do anything to fix that. (I'm not sure how good Airbus' culture is either, but evidence suggests it may be better than Boeing's.) Even though 737 MAX is a big expensive mess, Boeing makes so much money on the rest of its businesses (its other commercial aircraft models, defense contracts, space, etc) I'm sure they can survive those losses.

So I don't think Boeing will be filing for chapter 11 any time soon. But in 5, 10, 15 years from now? Anything could happen. Maybe they'll turn the corner from this episode, and their business will have a very bright future. Maybe they get stuck in the doldrums, and then chapter 11 might slowly become more plausible as an ultimate outcome.

If they’re using XMPP like others in the thread mentioned, they’re likely using STUN/TURN for signaling. IIRC according to google, something like 10% of hole punched traffic needs to be routed through the TURN server due to symmetric NAT. For all other types, a nearly persistent connection from server to client is possible with STUN/TURN, since a client can resignal when its connection changes.

>that's enforced equally seems pretty reasonable to me

What counts as equal?

>The law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal bread.

Blizzard could create the rule "No political messages that cause a large country to ban us" and then equally enforce it by banning "Boo China" and allowing "Yay China".

As such, I don't think equal enforcement of the law gets at the root issue of China being willing to entirely ban things that make them look bad.
> smaller more nimble better visibility car

Small cars don’t necessarily have better visibility. I have far better visibility in my Q7 than I did in my Audi A3.

And a smaller car doesn’t do much to help against an 18 wheeler or UPS truck. If I am in a crash in a Civic, I am more likely to die than a crash in a Jeep Cherokee

Smaller cars are not safer, because physics.

An SUV built after 2012 (that’s when mandatory stability control arrived) is safer than a car. The idea that being nimble keeps you safer is silly. Most accidents don’t give you enough notice before they’re about to happen. Also, I would argue my turbo Q7 is far more nimble than the Prius.

The Hyundai Accent is the most dangerous car to be in, based on fatality rates. The Jeep Cherokee has zero fatalities from 2012-2015. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jimgorzelany/2017/07/06/deathtr...

This was a reference to news stories of the past few days characterizing parts of the constitution as "phony".

The people who downvoted my comment were probably doing the right thing: I think the comment is funny and germane in the sense that git is a revision control system, but the comment can be inflammatory and really only marginally adds to the discussion.

For the record I can't characterize any ratified part of the US constitution (even parts no longer applicable and/or deleted, such as the prohibition amendment #18) as "phony" (whether I think they are a good idea or not) as they are, by definition, authentic.

In Seattle, as a pedestrian I have problems with drivers only looking in the direction of oncoming traffic to make a turn. That includes not looking in front of them and not looking in the direction they are turning.

Its hard to imagine approaching an intersection, and at no point during the approach and turn, not looking forward or in the direction of the turn, yet I encounter this every day.

The idea that other people are engineering my contentment, is a truly terrifying notion.

I imagine this technology will predominantly be used for increasing the effectiveness of ads by attempting to put pixels in front of your face that spike dopamine output and attempt to persuade you to pay for something to get another dopamine spike.

Based on geological history, the negative feedbacks seem predominant for small perturbations, but if you push things a little too hard the positive feedbacks take over. It's happened before several times; a little initial heating from orbital variations, which leads to greenhouse gas emissions, which leads to the global average temperature going up several degrees. A good explanation of the evidence for this is in James Hansen's Storms of My Grandchildren.

People have long thought the threshold to be around 2 degrees C, but now some are thinking it's more like 1.5. The CO2 level everybody agreed was safe was 350 ppm.
Outstanding multimedia article. Very cool attempt at multimedia persuasion. However hard to take at face-value (pun intended) when its analysis was so incorrect.
I get it, but I disagree with subverting the type system. The type system is there to promote safety and maintainability; you shouldn't subvert it even if "you" are the std lib.
Even my 2017 KeyOne with 2GB RAM and a slower class SoC runs fine; the only caveat is I've disabled GApps. I realize this is a large ask for some, but I think it's important to point out that Android itself isn't terribly heavy, Google's tracking is.

Most cars are bland looking for a reason though.

Most VWs are pretty bland. They're maybe slightly at the more recognisable end of the spectrum, but only incrementally, because that's the look that works at mass market scale. So given that, why does their mainstream, bet the company EV have to look like something from a 90s SF action movie?

The point about Teslas looking like other cars is that being an EV should be a normal, everyday thing. That's exactly the future that Tesla is aiming for. Whether a car is bland looking, weird looking or whatever should be entirely decoupled from whether it's an EV or not. They are orthogonal concerns. The weird look of this car is a worrying sign that VW does not get this, and is therefore missing the plot in a near future where EVs will be just cars.
> What is an "upstream DNS provider" in this context?

This would be your DoH provider. You can have layers of caching and DNS servers on your machine and network, but DNS queries ultimately have to go a foreign DNS provider.

> I'm just not seeing how Comcast can't still know where you going

If your connections aren't encrypted, or you only access servers with static IP addresses, then Comcast will be able to know where you're going.

Modern web applications have many layers of indirection, and you can't always correlate accessed IP addresses with the service the user is using.

As an example, consider a site that uses HTTPS and is proxied with Cloudflare. To Comcast, you're sending encrypted bytes to an IP address that doesn't identify the site, it's just Cloudflare. With unencrypted DNS, Comcast can just look at your DNS queries and determine the sites you're visiting. With encrypted DNS, Comcast sees that you connected to your DNS provider and Cloudflare, which isn't exactly valuable.

Computational means the image was computed as opposed to being revealed.

It is the same difference as scanning and copying book text with a different font vs translating and rewriting text. You would say that the book that was scanned and OCR-ed is basically the same while translated and rewritten is no longer exactly the same text.

The same is with the image. Making a photo is preserving an image. We can do couple of different transforms like sharpening or converting to black and white, but the image is basically the same content.

On the other hand rewriting the image like changing the weather, removing people from background or making the subject look younger changes the content, the meaning of the image.
The great thing about such jargon is that nobody can tell whether you are using it ironically or ignorantly.

20-30% usually. You get faster cores but no LRDIMM (i.e. you are constrained effectively to 128GB ECC UDIMM, at best 256GB ECC UDIMM if you are lucky to get 32GB ECC UDIMM modules). EPYC has 4TB ECC LRDIMM ceiling, new TR on TRX80 might have the same ceiling as well. I am glad that AMD provides TR as they make way less $ on them than on EPYC, but it's a great marketing tool for them. I am running some TRs for Deep Learning rigs (PCIe slots are most important) on Linux, and they are great, Titan RTXs and Teslas run without any issue, but Zen 2 should give me much better performance on classical ML with Intel MKL/BLAS in PySpark/SciKit-Learn, so I can't wait to get some.
Sadly, the days of trusting applications with unrestricted access to the filesystem and other compute resources that contain your data are gone. When you run an application on most consumer OSs, the application has access to everything the user running it has access to, which is a massive risk when the application developer is part of the threat model. Unfortunately, from the point of view of the user, developers need to be treated as adversaries, due to the track records of a few bad actors.

I don’t like it either but it’s the world we've built.

A quantum computer is "a sensor" in the same sense that every laptop is "an electronics experiment".

A quantum computer still fits your model because you arbitrarily represent anything with an alphabet of quantum states, automatically manipulate it with a quantum algorithm, and map back the result at the end so we learn something about whatever. I do not see the contradiction.
This practice - cryptoshredding - works well with two caveats.

First, it requires some policing of Kafka use. It's easy for developers to slip up and some PII to spill into the append-only data systems.

Second, your developers will have to handle for what happens when the key is deleted. The happy-path of fetching data, fetching key, and applying will fail quite hard the first time the rare event of a key deletion comes around.
I’m very interested in hearing more about this - I messaged your team on Facebook yesterday, but haven’t heard back from them yet.

My family is heavily involved in ag, and I have several close friends and relatives involved in the poultry business specifically. I see some ways that this could be marketed both directly to poultry growers and to producers. Producers should be interested in very large deployments, while growers have their own incentives that may not be obvious outside the business.

> The biggest problem I've seen at ISPs is the general unreliability of all the ISP-grade networking equipment.

I wouldn't generalize so much. It only seems that way, and only in countries where ISP markets are monopolized, because nobody cares about doing it well. Where there is enough competition things are completely different: ISPs are willing to test different GPON vendors, OLT/ONU, wifi routers, etc., figure out which features and configurations are reliable, which aren't, fix things that work poorly and so on, because quality becomes the reason people switch ISPs. Competitive industry also means lots of people with experience and expertise and lots of shared knowledge.

This is obviously a bit facetious but would you consider a duck a pesticide? Small scale artisan farmers are always looking for better solutions and often find them. A distinction needs to be made between a true organic small producer and a conventional farmer chasing an organic label and those extra dollars per pound.
Thank you for posting this, as I had similar thoughts also when reading the last knowledge bank post.

I love learning and will regularly do courses to pick up something completely different, or something applicable to my career.

However, I do think it's okay to allow some of the things I've learnt to fade away. Technology or previous interests become less relevant, and trying to retain everything keeps me too focused on the past, making me feel like I get worse over time, rather than keep a positive learning attitude towards the future.

Also, relearning things I've used a long time ago, because it has now become relevant again, is a lot of fun. The second time I've looked at trigonometry, I actually really enjoyed it.
That’s true with anything though right? Distracted when walking across train tracks? Distracted when on a high cliff hiking? There comes a point where people should be responsible for themselves. Someone walking off a curb doesn’t deserve to die, but that’s the consequence for walking off a curb.
I disagree that we’ll see an uptick. The elderly care industry is very labour intensive. You can have software that, for example, makes it easier to track who the nurse should give medication to, but you still need a nurse to do it. You still need an orderly to clean their room when they crap on the floor. You still need 3 people to flip obese, bed-ridden grandpa on to his other side.

You can have software that alerts you about care, or tracks progress, or stores patient information, but those things were never the expensive part of elderly care. The expensive part is always going to be paying a person to do X because elderly person can’t do X.
Contractually binding SLAs are usually not worth sewing someone over. And in fact the vendor may drop you making things worse if you insist on getting them.

So in many places they are routinely measured very conveniently for the vendor, or even completely ignored. Or the credits or whatever compensation mechanism is just complicated enought that you don't get money. Or worst case for the vendor they return up to 20% of the cost of the contract.. for the month in which the incident happened.

I really wish this wasn't the case..

Protip: never bet anything on an SLA.
In practice, how much does “not completely free” cost? TrustInSoft doesn’t even publish prices, which pretty strongly suggests I couldn’t afford it nor persuade a manager to expense it.
If an 18 year old is willing to be controlled like this, then perhaps they should be.
This is the one I agree most with so I'll add mine here:

- network connectivity as a separate permission (no reason every app should be allowed network access)

- also, permissions systems everywhere need to get updated for this millennium. Some thoughts:

-- to read my photos is OK as long as they don't have direct network access.

-- but today every app has Internet access by default

-- and just because I trust an app to read my photos doesn't mean I should have to give it permission to delete photos

your full disclosure is really sad. You are buying into a cult with some life changing saving (kid's college)

It might work though as long as there are enough investors believing in this irrational cult (the bigger idiot theory). You don't want to be the last one holding the bag.

They did a very good job capturing the early market given the void left by traditional auto makers. The next 5 years will be very tough though. They will be competing on the efficiency of the production chain. Toyota and Volkswagen are unbeatable at that game.
> Are the amendments really meant to be inserted at unspecified points in the main text?

The US constitution is unusual in leaving the main text unchanged and appending amendments at the end. Most countries don't do that.

For example, Australia's constitution [1] has been amended several times since it was first adopted in 1900. But, it is amended by changing the text of existing sections, inserting new sections or subsections (examples: section 105A, subsection 51(xxiiiA)), and deleting entire sections (example: section 127).
