Why would you think the UK margin is lower than the US one? When Tesla expands in a new market, they start with the high margin top of the line models, so the margin should be rather higher. Also they have a large backlog in markets that have not been sold to, so they try to roughly equalize backlog across markets.
> why are they selling the car in the UK in the first place?

Pure uninformed speculation, but it seems to me like its about sales pipeline and leveraging momentum. It doesn't make sense for them to fully pump the US dry before then expanding into other major international markets. You want to be entering a new large market on an upswing, not on a downswing. Also, waiting would give a lot of space for other international automakers to catch up in their local markets, since people are increasingly interested in buying EVs today
Through screenshots (and photographs, if needed) of the actual malware running on example devices, or in sandbox environments, or both, and what Play store install pages they're sending people to. I'd certainly hope that there's some team of people at Google doing exactly this already.

Also from bulk analysis tools running against known-malware hosting http daemons out on the Internet. Anybody who's used an android phone for a sufficiently long time and visited a few weird places has seen the javascript redirects for scary-looking pages with "CLEAN 581 VIRUSES FROM YOUR PHONE NOW" pages, designed to mimic android or ios system GUI elements. Inevitably accompanied by a link to a play store page.
Seems like a non story. Tesla prioritizing global growth and sacrificing some local demand.
Jesus, if there's one game I'd pay for again on Steam or other format, it's that one.

Eh, I'm not too sure about that. Plastic is a poor substitute for real rock, and seasonal climbers experience a noticeably marked atrophy of outdoor climbing ability during the off-season when they are limited to gym climbing.
I've been building web applications since 1996, I don't really recall what you are describing ever really being the case in my own experience. Yeah, I could push back on some variance of "pixel perfect" as a meme, but in the end it really needed to be very close to as-designed. Before CSS became the norm (early 00's), it wasn't much fun at all on that side of the fence.
I think what sparked a bit more outcry in this matter is the way the CFO responded to discussion and early warnings way before it was finalized.

It would have been nice to link to the actual paper instead of a third-party commentary piece.

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-12808-z

Just the title of the paper is dubious. "New elevation data" should be "the output of a neural network trained on data from the US coastline, extrapolated into wildly different climates and regions".

The first paragraph says "Even with sharp, immediate cuts to carbon emissions, it could rise another 0.5 m this century."

Then later in the paper share this wildly broad range of predictions: "Central estimates in the recent literature broadly agree that global mean sea level is likely to rise 20–30 cm by 20503,4,5,6,7,8,9,10. End-of-century projections diverge more, with typical central estimates ranging from 50–70 cm under representative concentration pathway (RCP) 4.5 and 70–100 cm under RCP 8.53,9,10,12, though more recent projections incorporating Antarctic ice sheet dynamics indicate that sea levels may rise 70–100 cm under RCP 4.5 and 100–180 cm under RCP 8.5, and could even exceed 2 m or more in far-tail scenarios"

Summary: neural network using the highest levels predicted in the most recent models, trained on data from areas with climates and landscapes wildly different than where the model is applied produces maps that freak people out and fuel political agendas.

XML was vastly overused for a long time. That doesn't make those usages correct, as there were alternatives even then. (It also doesn't make people who overused somehow bad; I think it was a reasonable and necessary mistake.) It certainly doesn't make new ones correct now given that JSON's been around 16+ years. [1]

I think the author here is slightly strong in his criticism; I think XML is great for things that are meant to be long-lived and self-documenting. That is, things that are used like documents. But if I'm passing short-lived globs of structured data back and forth, as with an API, I think JSON's a much better fit, as is Protobufs for more tightly joined code.

I think it's a bit like trying to explain why a Python REPL isn't a substitute for a calculator? Like it can of course do what you want, and you can't "see" what's wrong if you just take what you see literally (you'll obviously get the same answers regardless of what tool you use), but it's just... not meant for that.
I am not the OP, but I do play games. And I tend to hoard the hell out of everything I find in the game (especially in RPGs). And I do tend to have a lot of unused inventory by the end of the game.

At the same time, I don't do well with money, I eat out too much, drink too much, make impulsive purchases (mostly gifts and hobby related things, but still) and generally do not watch my budget very carefully.

I don't think video game experience translates very well into real life. In a game, going through tough fights without using any healing or other expendables feels like an extra challenge, going through life without going out for beers or a diner date or without wasting a couple of hundred bucks on a fancy VST plugin or a cute RC toy for some friend's kid does not feel that way.
Yes well every solution we come up with invariably favours well established scientists... how can a new scientist get anywhere if it takes 10 years to produce substantive work?

There is a conceit in the final paragraph, where it is implied that we are missing out on cures for diseases etc due to wasteful scientific endeavours. This is not necessarily true. There have been many successes in the current era of medical science. Generally these are driven by technological advances such as monoclonal antibodies or next-generation sequencing.
The radar operators report the craft could go from 80,000 feet to 20,000 or down to sea level in under a second. Out of sheer curiosity, what do you think they actually have at NG/LM that could move like that? I find that sort of performance to be beyond us, don't you? I can't see a skunkworks craft doing that, makes no sense to me.
Or google 'dirtbag climbing'. Fred Beckey was one of the masters. I heard a story that he didn't even have an address for much of his life.
Yes, not many phones have that option any more though.
> You seemed to be arguing earlier that there was something different about attempted murder that means it shouldn't be punished while murder should.

Sorry, for that impression. I think all crimes are like illnesses.

> Do you think attempted murder should be treated differently if the attempt demonstrated ability to carry it out, but the victim survived due to luck?

Well, in an ideal world if I could design the justice system. I would think that every negative outcome is like an illness. Some illnesses are more unique than others but being able to carry murder is definitely different than not being able to but tried. So the illnesses would have to be cured differently.
Can't think of others, but I'll point you to the google search results for the word "keming" to expand on the joke.

(think this only works via proper google.com)
I think you mean s-expressions instead of lisp and if you do, I'm with you. They are really neat and underused. Now, if you want to carry a whole language runtime for the structured data format you'll probably end up with the "which lisp" kind of problem in which each app end up using something different and then the structured data files are no longer exactly portable (until you devise a portable standard yadayadayada)
I've been getting along fine using JSON for pretty much everything. That being said XML has some very sophisticated features like rigorous schema definition, a query language, a formal include syntax, comments (that's a big one), it's a lot easier to do multi-line content and in fact you can mix normal text and structured data.

The include syntax doesn't get enough love. It's crazy that JSON doesn't support it.
The shots I get out of my 11 pro are great. I'm amazed just how good they are. But, I would be lying if I said they are better than my aging d7100 with a nifty 50.

And, if I ever need zoom (like in nature photography), phones just can't compete with a 300mm lens.
How can I as a podcast listener avoid podcasts that do business with companies like Art19? I usually listen via Overcast or Pocket Casts and it feels like there's no way of controlling how my information is shared.

This is a bit depressing. Podcasts feel like it's on the brink of being destroyed by ad-tech.

See my comments here:

This is what I mean when I say that tmux config is unintuitive. Ideally there should be one or two directives needed to make this work. It took me weeks to get as far as I did, and I'm still not completely happy with it.
I was hoping for less (or non-at-all) "stringly typing".

Then I saw this: <button @click="increment">

And this

function increment() {
count.value++
}

I have a hard time to deal with that the string "increment" is used to refer to the function increment() in 2019.

There must be a way to use the actual symbol for this instead of a string?

This is cool. But the name is a bit misleading. I have the same 0.25x - 2x speed range on Youtube anyhow. What it adds is the looping capability. So this is rather LoopTube then SlowTube.

By the way: It would be nice if something like this would be available with better sound quality for slow speeds. I am now half way through listening to this at 0.25:

Just shut it down and wrap it in aluminium foil if you're concerned.
I'd argue that for data storage purposes, you'd like to have a low metadata to information ratio. In the examples the author gives this seems to be the main problem, with way more characters being used for markup than for content.

Compare that to JSON or TOML, which are more human-friendly and waste fewer bytes on structure to convey the same information. When used for data storage, two XML files of the same schema describing two completely different objects are likely to share a large amount of content, which is wasteful and gets in the way.
I think the fascinating takeaway from Cochrane piece, and this response article, is how much innovation improves a person's performance, even if indirectly. It's a great reminder of how hard it is to measure the effects of technical innovation.

It's also amazing that even before some of these innovations (dynamic rope, cams) how many people were able to climb incredibly tough routes. The technology has opened the sport to people who enjoy the it but aren't so interested in risking their lives on a second-by-second basis.

And as an aside, having climbed the Salathe route featured in the Free Solo movie, I can't even begin to imagine the mindset you would need to consider climbing it without protection.
That's a little extreme but you raise a good point. I think a talented spec designer anticipates how their work might be interpreted / used / abused, and, like an adroit villain, nudges their audience toward tenets their grand scheme seeks to achieve.
Better make sure it's off before you stick it in there, or it will be dead when you take it back out.
You are assuming any of the Elon companies are driven only by profit. I would hazard a guess that real M3 goal is to make a car that costs $35k while being profitable. Lowering price serves not only as incentive to sell more cars, but also internal incentive to figure out a cheaper way to make them.
All you need on .NET/Java in 2007 then is a lisp parser/interpreter. I know they are easy to write, but they aren't as easy to write as something you don't have to write at all.

Let's not forget, many one of these configuration files and data formats are one-off hacks that were meant to be replaced by a real format, a real parser, a real DSL etc.
The reason the xml config/dsl/format stuck is because it worked. And it was cheap and easy.
So long as it deters misleading ads, does the mechanism really matter? It doesn't have to be strict consensus.
Determining attribution for scientific contributions is a far less severe problem than having high-quality scientific contributions in the first place.
> you could do this in JSON or some other data structure

I'm not sure you could. For example, in another comment, I mentioned DocBook[1]. How would you do the following sample document in JSON?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<book xml:id="simple_book" xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0">
<title>Very simple book</title>
<chapter xml:id="chapter_1">
<title>Chapter 1</title>
<para>Hello world!</para>
<img src="hello.jpg"/>
<para>I hope that your day is proceeding <emphasis>splendidly</emphasis>!</para>
</chapter>
<chapter xml:id="chapter_2">
<title>Chapter 2</title>
<para>Hello again, world!</para>
</chapter>
</book>

Would you make each <chapter> into an object? But you have 2 <para> children in there with an <img> in between. And one <para> has an additional <emphasis> in the content. I can't think of a good JSON schema equivalent to this.

They wanted to violate my rights given by Article 7.2 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), this is clearly making the product worse.

What's great with GitLab compared to other companies is that they are doing things in the open, while another company would just violate my rights without me knowing it.

If you go through the comments, multiple (toxic) people in GitLab doesn't care about user rights, just want to push the change as soon as possible (just like in any other company that I have been working in).

It's also clear that you get VP/Director/Staff engineer by just pushing through other people (sadly I have seen the same thing happening other times as well).
> For a while now, you haven’t been the one taking your photos. That’s not a slight at you, dear reader: When your finger touches the shutter button, to reduce perceived latency, the iPhone grabs a photo it has already taken before you even touched the screen.

I wonder if there’s a line where copyright could attach to the developer who wrote the code instead of the thumb owner.
Then that isn't anonymized at all. Anyone who thinks it is is a fool. It's just 2 step identification, and pretty typical of overreaching governments. No one should be tracked unless a warrant is issued and at that point meta data can start being collected.
Sure we should be very glad that we are the chosen ones to use Gitlab

Next iteration they will put in a voluntary option and the release after it has become mandatory for using "bullshit" reasons such as third parties plugins or to prevent terrorism
years ago, at a previous employer of mine, one of the IT staff members was giving a presentation on an internal website/app they created for some widely used business function (i don't recall exactly) and they were rather proud of the fact that they tied in Google Analytics so that they could get a better view on how people were using the site.

I expect that a lot of other companies are also doing this to themselves...

"I never find myself wanting to use tmux for splitting up a terminal window when I'm already using a tiling window manager"

I don't want to launch extra terminal instances every time I want to split my terminal window. Also, there's no easy way to detach or reattach to separate terminals as there is to tmux. Nor is there an easy way to programmatically pass information to or from them while they are in the background or off-screen, etc.

That's not to say that separate terminal windows aren't useful. They are, and I sometimes use them myself (particularly for drop-down terminals like guake or terminals in i3's scratchpad).
>By all accounts, the UAP were observed by these sensor platforms and pilots performing maneuvers which indicate intelligent control and technology beyond what we can duplicate at present, no matter how hard we try.

The public has very little insight into both what is "possible" to achieve by military aircraft, and more importantly in this context, their observational capability.

If the navy says that they spotted an unidentified flying object moving mach X at a distance of Y km, that tells geopolitical adversaries things like "they can monitor our railgun fire under these conditions."

Every piece of information we get from the military that isn't through investigation needs to be taken with a massive grain of salt, since it's always been released under the pretenses of information warfare and the tactical consequences of it being public.

And as an aside, not only does the public have very little insight into what the military and its contractors can do, the military itself has little insight into what other parts of the military are doing. It's entirely possible that one observation from one unit was entirely unaware of another unit doing another thing.
A few comments here claim that aggregated data is fine. An interesting read is [1]. It discusses how trajectories of individuals can be recovered from aggregated mobility data with high accuracy. It's a great read because it breaks down the approach into small logical steps, but the end result (recovering individual's trajectories from aggregated data) sounds bizarre at first.

I think there's still an untapped marker for on-demand car hire like Zipcar and similar.

XML is a actually wonderful format for data and especially extensible configuration if you combine it with XML Schema and CSS selectors...

- XML schemas give you a ready-to-use format to describe, restrict and document available configuration settings. The unique keys help and a libxml2 gives ready to use validation, even if you may need to 'translate' its error messages before showing them to end users

- XML schemas also support other annotations so you can further generalise your configuration readers by recording the necessary bindings in the XML schema itself, allowing to use it eg to define application user interfaces.

- Almost any text editor can do basic syntax validation preventing most typographic errors, and even better if they can read the schema

- XML schemas are extensible using <import>s, but namespaces still enforce some separation. You can define explicit points where plugins extend your configuration format using <any>

- Human editable - closing tags are noisy but more readable than }],{}] when non-programmers may have to edit these files just to add a few extra textfields to an UI.

- Better datatype support, eg datetimes, by using XML schemas. JSON's type support is too limited

- Support for comments!

- And once you've verified the schema... CSS selectors and DOM APIs to actually process the XML documents.

YAML fixed quite a few things, but still no date times or as far as I know standardised approaches to defining schemas. And I've lost count at how any attempts exist to add schema information or namespacing to JSON...

But for markup... we may be better off to just use markdown inside CDATA blocks
Oh man you're a walking, talking caricature aren't you haha? When did I ever say I didn't know who some of those people were? And if I didn't... would that invalidate my whole point?

Don't kid yourself- concepts like harmony and composition are subjective. Nothing about "who's progressing what" in any branch of music is objective when the whole system itself isn't.

I like how you attack my understanding of concepts like harmony/composition when you don't even know my background lol. And to get back to my main point, it wasn't that you were wrong for citing those individuals, it's just that you sounded like a jerk.

"sounding"* rather.
Reminds me of a simplified Soundslice[1]. I believe soundslice was started by Adrian Holovaty, one of the originators of the Django web framework.
