And you know what? All the headlines are true! Knowing which takeaways matter is the hard part, and particularly with investing, if you did know, you’d be very rich.

I think the YoY EPS is the least interesting and more erratic headline personally.

They had one prior profitable quarter which happened to be Q3 2018. That was under a full subsidy regime only selling the highest ASP Model 3s while there was still higher volume X/S sales to boot.

All eyes are definitely on G3. Tesla spent 2019 improving process efficiency and returning to profitability but have been seriously production limited the last two quarters.

G3 production coming online for China, also by the way just in time to avoid a steep rise in import tariffs, is hugely critical for Tesla, and China as a long term EV market is absolutely massive. Getting China excited about a locally built Tesla is super important, and G3 production of 3k units/wk by the end of the year should be a massive boost to their bottom line, because those should be higher margin units even if they are somewhat lower ASP than their global average.

It’s definitely not the beginning of the end for Tesla and I don’t think anyone should come away from this particular report feeling more pessimistic about TSLA than they were going into it.

This is sad, I'm waiting for YouTube and others to f*ck up even more to move masses to decentralized solutions.
I don't make enough money to "own" a car. It's dangerous, stressful, expensive. The car becomes a single point of failure that can turn my whole life upside down if it ever fails, which cars often do at the price range I can afford. Banning pedestrians would basically ban poor people from going outside.

Boeing actually benefits from keeping training low, it's actually a barrier to entry for competing planes. Boeing is appealing to airlines that have a lot of Boeing pilots because of the low retraining when upgrading models, this allows Boeing to overcharge those airlines since they can make a margin on the retraining costs the company would otherwise need to put out.

From what I can tell (IANAP) the MAX was specifically designed to maximize this margin by the promise of that hour, possibly this grounding wouldn't have happened if Boeing had stated a slightly higher retraining requirement, and possibly a PHB overrode a suggestion from an engineer for some extra training time to maximize that window. That's all speculation, but it'd be extremely unsurprising.
I understand GP to be talking about something different - about consequences of putting behind the wheel people who don't care whether the company is making planes or toilet paper, but view it as a vehicle to turn money into more money.

Goodhart's law states that "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure" - because people then start optimizing for the value of the measure, instead of what it's a proxy for. It seems that we've created a class of specialists, whose entire job is to do such optimizations. And we let them run companies, leading to predictable results.
Market share can go down while market size for electric vehicles increases with a positive profit growth for Tesla.

But I agree that, as an investment, Tesla stock prices are something the company has to grow into not something that is reflective of in hand performance - and there is always risk there.
> Instead, I recommend starting by documenting the key behaviour of the program, describing its model of the world and defining terminology, and only then trying to document each function in terms of that model and terminology.

Can you explain in more detail how that's different from the approach described in "What nobody tells you about documentation"? [0] At first blush, your recommendation sounds pretty similar to what is suggested in that post.

Is this a critique of the guideline to "Give reference documentation the same structure as the codebase" that was in [0], or is it more like you think the importance of the "Explanation" section is underrated?

(This is coming purely from the perspective of somebody who is trying to write better documentation. I'm not trying to defend any particular stance, just interested in your opinion.)

> CGI Peter Cushing is obviously CGI and non CGI Peter Cushing is obviously not.

It's interesting you say that, because I've found there are two camps of people on CGI Cushing: those who say the CGI is blindingly obvious and nowhere near realism, and those who didn't even notice. It is already good enough to fool some of the population.

I'm also not saying Death Stranding is photorealistic--unlike Tarkin it wouldn't fool anyone. I'm saying there's nowhere near an "ocean" of quality difference between the best video games and film CGI. Death Stranding isn't an example I'd use because it runs on PS4 and thus lacks the raytracing and high poly counts of state-of-the-art PC games.
I would say if you are very concerned about privacy, you should never grant a website or app access to your camera.

> You can prevent this by setting the UAC settings to max or logging in as a standard user, but then you get Vista-style annoyances again...

And I'm not even sure UAC at max level is officially a security boundary. As for the second solution, yep, and you actually could also log in as a standard user in XP (and 2000, and NT)

Now there is a fun thing about security, is that it can be sometimes counter-intuitive. A yes-no popup on a secure desktop can be way more secure than asking for a password in some cases, because the popup screen could be spoofed, and while obtaining an admin pwd is obviously valuable, obtaining a yes-no answer from the user at the console is not... (Some mitigations exists like SAK but they are not perfect, because the users can make mistakes, especially if asked for their password all the time)
Thank you for this.

Come to think of it, I do seem to recall at one point reading about organic farming using "natural" pesticides and ending up needing to use more of them because they're less effective.

Yes it is. It's Google Fi. Comcast could do Google Fi better than Google does, because they could make every Comcast modem an access point for it.

Then for a few bucks on top of your cable internet subscription you give people unlimited mobile data on unlimited devices whenever they're connected to a Comcast access point, which is 97% of the time because they're everywhere, and metered data using some deal with Sprint/T-Mobile/whomever the other 3% of the time.

How much money is on the table when you allow families to cancel their wireless plans on four, five, six different mobile devices yet still have service everywhere?
That's fair, but you'll still need to keep the battery pack charged :)
Hey I’m living in Berlin in search of people who share these values :

* Cooperation

* Freedom

* Diversity

* Intellectual curiosity

I participated in yc startup school, applied to yc To create a social network for coworking spaces but got rejected.

I have other ideas in mind to follow up but am also open to anything.

* On-demand retail spaces. Make it easy as possible for entrepreneurs to open brick-and-mortar stores by becoming the AWS of retail spaces giving people all they need to bootstrap their ideas.

* A platform for developers of SMEs to simplify the creation of public APIs by letting them focus on the business logic. By abstracting user management, api keys, and deployment.

* A community-driven affiliation-free app to share step by step life changes.

* An app to match mentors and mentees.

Some are. Verizon bought EdgeCast CDN which has a Cloudflare style WAF. They now operate under the Verizon Digital Media Services monicker, but it’s been a bit of a challenge for them to integrate.
There is a case to be made about how good the AI behind emotional detection is. When you take the test, it will be accurate for some, and blissfully wrong for others. More so wrong for most. I took the test (or unknowingly took it) and it was correct for the most part. And it got some things wrong. I love dogs.

The trouble is not that the AI can be wrong, it's that we will rely on its answers to make decisions.

When the facial recognition software combines your facial expression and your name, while you are walking under the bridge late at night, in an unfamiliar neighborhood, and you are black; Your terrorist score is at 52%. A police car is dispatched.

In 2017, my contract was not transferred to the new system. The automated system saw that an ex employee was scanning his key cards multiple times. Security was dispatched to catch the rogue employee. Now a simple questioning should have cleared things up, but the computer had already flagged me as troublesome. Long story short, I was fired.

When the machine calculates your emotions, the results are unquestionable. Or, we don't know how it got to the answer, so we trust that it is right. It is a computer after all.

What scares me is not how fast machine learning is being deployed to every aspect of our lives. My scare is our reaction to it.
Why would you trust a for-profit company to archive anything and care? They don't. It's unreasonable to expect anything different.

If you want things archived, non-profit solutions exist, or you should be doing it yourself and making sure the content is shared among people who are also able to archive it.

Oh I agree, but I think that that factor has been obvious and evident in the US economy since the 80's. Management people work to maximize their take home, their take home is highly bonus dependent, their bonus is highly dependent on quarterly performance (not long term investment or good foundational decisions)... thus our stock driven economy is maximizing for people who can sell two dollars tomorrow for a dollar today.

I thought the other point (about the luck of selecting high skill employees early in a company lifetime) was also pretty interesting though.
That's my first thought. It seems that the US did things like that a long time ago in an era that has passed us by, replaced by gridlock and petty politics.

Or it might just be that most of our growth isn't in things we build, and instead in intangible services.

Probably both.
It's pretty much the only kind of bugs that Rust can prevent, too.

It's pretty clear to me.

I'm not sure what bug you're referring to, but if it's Heartbleed, than that was an undefined behavior bug. Of course, a functional bug can be introduced at any time, including during a rewrite in another language.
why did you pick 9 years? When you use an arbitrary number like that, it looks like cherry picking.
Conservatives are not offered the opportunity to review or edit articles about them beforehand by these same outlets. The standard is to reach out for comment, not for permission or editorial review.
They same applies to software professionals who just would like "to code". Yet, the leverage of distributed version control proves to be exponential in the end.
Nothing like receiving "red-lined" documents with revisions in the comments to make you want to scamper back to git-land.
Wow! Exactly the same I thought about the article. Also it has to do with country's scale as Estonia can afford to take risks given their small population size comparing to, say, UK. By the way, some observations can be just "Hype", because whether your country relies on tech or not, tech adaptation for society welfare and political welfare is more about pragmatics than planning.
haha yes same.

If you need something like that, go for a Telegram bot. It's really simple to make, the API is very nice and developer friendly. It's not oAuth, just a simple secret. It even accepts parameters via GET, so writing a bash script that check something and sends a message via Curl is pretty easy. There are few APIs simpler than this one. This is also more efficient, as your app only sends data out when it needs to, instead of being polled every n minutes. Everything goes through a real push service, which your phone has a persistent connection to, so the messages are delivered instantly. It also saves battery life, as there's no polling. I don't think this app will ever work on iOS, due to Apple's policies.
From the summary[0]:

> If activated, this feature would by default route all DNS traffic from Chrome and Android users to Google Public DNS, thus centralizing a majority of worldwide DNS data with Google

I can't decide if Comcast is just ignorant since Chrome's plans are to NOT do this, or if they are outright lying about what Chrome's plans are. As I mentioned the other day, this is the problem with not separating the DoH protocol discussion from the DoH browser-provided default resolver. Good job Mozilla, now we can't have a debate about the merits of DoH the protocol because y'all have muddied it with default resolver choice.

This is what I've come to love about TiddlyWiki so much. I use it as my personal Zettelkasten for my finance studies, with each Tiddler being a single thought. For example, a recent Tiddler I created was simply:

"Banks have three alternatives for determining operational risk regulatory capital under Basel II

1 - Basic Indicator Approach
2 - Standardised Approach
3 - Advanced Measurement Approach (AMA)"

I make sure that each Tiddler has a link off to at least one other Tiddler. This one in particular has links off to my entries on the three particular approaches, which in turn link off to mathematical formulas and other related thoughts. I find by doing it this way I naturally tend to dive more and more in-depth to a particular topic until my Tiddlers are getting extremely specific but then one may link back to a very broad topic and the cycle repeats itself.

By doing this, when I read over my notes, I find it almost feels like I'm having a conversation with them. Just like a normal conversation that you and your partner are deeply interested in, you'll dive deeper and deeper into specifics until another random, broader thought pops up and you repeat the process. I'm continuously surprised about the thoughts I run into as I randomly walk through my notes.

But by far the most important thing for me is that this process has actually made note taking fun! I love it now. Every other system I've ever tried has felt like a chore. I enjoy it so much I'm usually adding several hundred new Tiddlers a day.
Well here I am, using GIMP on macbook, although not professionally.

I like the os and so on, yet I try to keep my workflow as FOSS as possible.

I invest a lot of time in learning and mastering my tools so I believe that using preferably multiplatform and Free software will let me keep my skills and hours I put into learning stuff under my, not some vendor’s control (e.g. if apple keeps going the direction it is going at the moment).

This is why I use emacs, inkscape, gdb, gcc etc. on Mac OS

Perhaps if I canvassed all my friends and their parents and all my parent's friends I might have raised 100 loans averaging $50 each. That's quite an optimistic estimate, I think.

That gets me about 10% of the way to one year's tuition at an elite university.

I don't know what your background is, maybe you consider $1000 a small loan, or maybe like the current president of the USA you consider $1000000 a small loan.

Suffice it to say that your proposal is not at all realistic for many many many people.

That's not necessarily a negative. Rogan is wide not deep. The eclectic guest selection means listeners are exposed to a wide range of ideas. Well, at least as wide as the guests Rogan can book, and the topics and people that interest him personally.

The show is successful because it knows that Google exists - it knows there's a universe of information outside the bounds of the show. It provides the gestalt and it's up to the listener to explore the details.

The Foxconn story is far more nuanced than that.

There's been substantial uncertainty in Foxconn's genuine commitment to the project.

It's been heavily reported on that Foxconn is notorious for failing to follow through on its promises.

e.g. https://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/27/heres-whats-worrisome-about-...

There's been some great podcasts on the topic. Last I heard Foxconn kept changing their plans of what would actually be manufactured in WI. Initially it was high-tech state of the art stuff, last I heard their plans had shifted to manufacturing somewhat legacy flat panel display technology. I stopped following the story sometime last year though, at the time it sounded like Foxconn was really shafting WI.

It benefits Foxconn to drag their feet in executing on what amounts to nothing more than a handshake deal. The more WI invests in that project the stronger Foxconn's position becomes.
Indeed this. If it 20x’s like I think it might (full Robotaxi vision realized) in the next 10 years, then kids will be all set for college, or their first house, their choice. If not we will all have to work harder, but it’s not like I had the college fund saved already and then bet it all, or am living life as if TSLA is already at $2,000.

How can I not bet with someone like Elon Musk? Why bet against him? I want to live in the world where Elon and Tesla succeeds. It’s a win-win that I could personally profit from it too.

Very rarely do we get a company IPOing so early in their lifespan with real ideas and plans to change the world, and the intellectual capital to possibly even succeed. I think it’s a once in a decade opportunity. I hate being a skeptic against someone with an actual positive vision for the future and a strong theoretical backing of how they will get there.

The idea that Toyota is going to eat their lunch to me flies in the face of everything we know about innovation and company culture. The legacy companies are frankly totally blindsided by this EV revolution.

While legacy auto employee unions strike, and legacy auto company plants close down, TSLA moves from a 3% SAM to a 30% SAM (by adding trucks and crossovers to their served market) over the next 3 years.

If their truck is as revolutionary in that market segment as the Model 3 is in its market segment, they won’t even need Robotaxi to hit a market cap of $200B.

Will Toyota have an EV available in numbers by 2024? I know they love their hybrid platform, and the fuelcell car, but I'm unaware of any EV plans.
but they are up 1130% since IPO. I personally dont understand why people use psychological lines such as month/quarter/year or 25/50/100 when none of that really matters. A business is a continuous process and should be looked at as such.
I think this is more focused than RSS. Doing the same with an RSS reader would be fiddly and sort of out of it's use case. If you want regular polling (every 15s say) maybe your RSS reader can do that but it isn't natural.

There is something to be said for things being similar but not the same. This app can grow features in the direction of alerting, whereas an RSS reader wouldn't be growing in that direction without becoming bloatware because it's main job is to catch you up on reading material.

I can see myself using it, and it has been something I have consider building myself - although I had a different angle - an API for a person so you can send me a message (if I trust you... maybe I give each friend a different token!) and we can avoid using email or a proprietary chat alltogether. Such a service could work in tandem with this app.

Based on that you could make a distributed "facebook" of sorts.

Once the iPhone app of this come out I can see myself setting up a little nodejs server and aggregating some stuff to send down. Weather, email, SMS, maybe some favourite google searches (when they change) or hn.algolia.com searches.
