> That makes sense - the limits are designed to stop you guiding a missile with one, not guiding a jet plane.

Only some kinds of missiles, though. It seems like those limits would be quite acceptable for cruise missile guidance, and I'd think GPS would be more useful there than in an ICBM.

Tesla as a long term investment going forward largely depends on whether you view the electric car as a disruptive innovation (breaks established car companies' business models) or sustaining innovation (does not break established car companies' business models).

Established players tend to have the upper hand for sustaining innovation. Sustaining innovation can start at the top of a market and work down.

Disruptive innovation favors the upstart. However, disruptive innovation starts at the bottom of a market and moves up.

The more I see what Tesla and other car companies are doing with EVs, the more it seems that the electric car is actually a sustaining innovation.

Yes it is tough. It’s been mostly word-of-mouth growth. I’ve run lots of experiments and most of them don’t pan out. Like, recently I tried mailing a bunch of old school cassette walkmen with the above voicemails on them to the media along with a letter and sample photos (“just press play to hear it straight from happy recipients”). I sent 15 boxes and haven’t heard back on any. It feels like the kind of service that would do well on the news/etc so I’ll just keep trying!

If they need $50B to make space and then place themselves in the electric car market, then I suppose that explains Tesla's difficult task.
Me too. We had an Eclipse MV-8000 in college (the subject of The Soul of a New Machine [0]) and it was a nice computer.

Later I worked with AS/400s, first the beige racks, then the all-black models. Still a nice machine today [1], and if you want something to run a mid-sized business "lights off", you should consider it.

Track Changes tracks changes. By multiple authors. And allows comments outside of the substantive content of the document. It works across multiple versions of itself, and is even compatible with competing software. And best of all, it requires no additional software to learn or maintain.

That makes it superior for legal documents to all version tracking systems that I'm aware of that are used in the programming field.

It's worth noting that while your description of free speech in the USA is somewhat accurate, the USA actually has extremely relaxed restrictions for speech advocating violence. The current federal standard is "imminent lawless action," which means that speech cannot be restricted unless the violence it's advocating is likely to happen immediately. As far as I can tell, you can freely broadcast speech of the form "let's get together sometime and do a bunch of violence against so-and-so." This comes from a Supreme Court case about a Ku Klux Klan rally where the leader addressed the group and literally advocated organized violence against minorities for political purposes (what many would call terrorism).
I feel the same way - as someone who has been invested in $TSLA since it was $34 my risk is now effectively zero. I look forward to watching the company continue to succeed beyond imagination (although I have a serious disdain for FUD-spreading shorts).
I think it's just really hard to keep their batteries where they need to be. In order to get better performance/range, Tesla chose NCA batteries.

https://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/types_of_lithium...

The problem with NCA is it is more volatile, and if it overheats it literally explodes violently. I am not saying this is insurmountable, but looking at the progress Tesla is making versus the reality of how long you can drive the cars hard, I think Teslas might never be great track vehicles.

Although every EV car will have this problem to some extent, so it's not limited to Tesla. If Porsche can't figure out how to cool an EV well, then it's a long way away because they are famous for their engine cooling technology.

i wonder if their projections for enterprise aren't adding up, or Hub has started to eat their lunch enterprise wise with new features that Lab hasn't copied yet, or API integrations, or something else

>but we're not fine with forcing companies to uphold the values the US operates on?

What does this even mean? The law generally can't afford to be that arbitrary. If you want to enforce something you need to have a clear law. Telling companies they can't restrict expression on their own platforms would be a surprising step for the US to take (however much I may disagree with what Blizzard has done).
It's not just about mass producing an EV though. It's also about the software and tech, and building not just a moving battery pack but one that comes together well with the software, self driving tech, and a supercharging network will be where Tesla will have an advantage for many more years to come.

The amount of bits you need to modify is not “one byte” but the same as the degree of used polynomial.

They can do whatever they want.

Freedom means that both sides are free to do this. It is a consumer's absolute right to retaliate in this way.
When we want to, I think it's possible. It's not apples to oranges, but the incidents that come to mind are usually when critical transportation infrastructure fails and is too important to let sit.

An example is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-35W_Saint_Anthony_Falls_Brid..., in which they were able to skip the typical three year timeframe and condense it down to a bit over one year from collapse to opening. For a 10 lane, 1,200 foot bridge with a 500 foot main span, that's not bad!

When https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_85_bridge_collapse happened, six sections of road were replaced in 43 days, likely a lot shorter than it would have been otherwie.

In normal circumstances (e.g. when it's not an emergency), no, and that's by design. If we needed to, it could absolutely be done.
As a diver, I really like the idea of the Garmin Descent being able to do surface GPS for tracking entry and exit points. I hope more dive watch manufacturers (Suunto is a big name) will add such functionality in the future.
I've gone back and forth on this since it was first announced.

It's a very tough pill to swallow and is absolutely going to break a lot of web content. There's just no way around that. And there are very few things that are worth breaking the web over.

This is probably one of them. The security benefits of this change are very, very high. It's fixing something that arguably was broken since the introduction of cookies.

I am, as a rule, fairly skeptical when Chrome/Chromium devs say they're going to break something for security. Usually I think they're wrong, this time I think they're right, and I'm grateful that they've pushed for the change.

Also to the Chromium team's credit, they're taking the lead on something that they are 100% going to get criticized about. There are going to be some very angry threads about how they did it wrong, and how a 2020 release is too soon. I don't think the rollout has been perfect either, but... somebody has to do it. Once everything dies down, Firefox is going to implement the same changes, and no one will bat an eye because everyone will have already adjusted to Chrome. There's very little upside to being the browser that makes these changes first, but one of the browsers needs to do it first.

A nontrivial portion of our privacy/security problems on the web come from some fundamentally bad sandboxing; and frankly, cookies are badly sandboxed. This change makes the default at least a little better, and will immediately block a large number of CSRF attacks.

So, yeah. I get that it's annoying, but I'm with Google on this one.

> I suspect this is mostly myth propped up by apocryphal assertions that Prius sold well due to its distinct look

What I read was that the sales of Toyota's hybrid versions of their "normal-looking cars" (Camry Hybrid, etc) were disappointing in comparison to the Prius (especially if the theory is that people were avoiding the Prius due to design and would prefer a less-radical car that still got great gas mileage). I don't know if there's any truth to that.
Some people are much better able than others to deal with such content. Do YouTube, Facebook, etc, implement some sort of psychological screening? I would think we know enough about PTSD, depression, etc to be able to filter out many of those most likely to suffer significant trauma, even if the screening was crazy imprecise. Plus, I assume we have many decades of experience with handling psychological issues among police and emergency personnel. Perhaps a large part of the issue is money; why bother with the expense if you can use ML, even if the false positive rate is abysmal.

It's easy to ignoring the thousand small tweaks you've made over the years in response to user feedback or bugs or the little details that came up after-the-fact.

Thank you for sharing, I totally agree with numbers over business details, it's very nice to see.

I have a couple of questions too if you don't mind.

1. Is your business salable? If you got bored of it, would it be easy for someone to take over? Sometimes I wonder about small businesses and many seem to rely a lot on the expertise of the founder. Or if you don't want to scale, then having someone manage the day-to-day operations while starting a second product might be liberating.

2. You mention SEO. Is this the nuts and bolts "use the right keywords, in the right tags, the right number of times" type of SEO or do you focus more on writing long lived compelling content with simple language? It sounds like you'd be doing this in German, so I wonder if that changes things a lot due to the competitive landscape (and/or Google's capability to parse various languages).
DNT was a failure that shouldn't be depended on for anything.

Safari has already removed it in version 12.1 (https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari_release_not...), so if that's the only opt-out mechanism there's no way for Safari users to make that choice. That probably includes all iOS users, since all iOS browsers just wrap Safari.

I wouldn't be surprised to see other browsers remove it eventually as well. Like Apple says, it ended up doing the exact opposite of what it was supposed to -- almost nobody obeys it anyway, and it hurts the privacy of people that try to use it by contributing an uncommon factor to their browser fingerprint.

Cutting myself off and just shipping it. It can’t be understated how important it is to cut your own scope and get something useful out there. The feedback and validation you get will keep you going or force you to pivot to something else. This runs counter to the exploratory, learning nature to building something new, but i think it’s possible to balance. For example, for this feature I’m going to noodle on and play with for a while, but for this other feature I’m going to deploy a 0.1 version of it immediately, and then a 0.2 the next week, etc. It’s amazing the half-baked shit I’ve pumped out that someone out there has loved and wanted more of, which in turn motivated me to keep going and improve the experience.
