It blows my mind, and makes me nervous about my own future, that old people do this kind of thing.

Are they actually incapable of learning the right way to do things? Is neuroplasticity playing a role here? Do they not care that their images look terrible when zoomed in on? I guess they grew up in an era when photos frequently had time and date stamps, and if their eyesight is going... I guess that explains both points.
Plans that involve being pleasantly surprised are not good plans. Haber was preceded by centuries of warfare that did not produce inventions of such significance.
A non-technical advantage might be that it's not owned by one company.

Also, things don't get adopted because of their technical merits but because of random chance[1], or we wouldn't have Javascript today. So having "just another" go at trying to establish a sensible standard is good enough for me.

[1] From a technical standpoint, I consider politics, hype, parasitic corporate behavior, etc, "random chance."

For using power to suck carbon out of the air, would you need baseload power, or could you have a machine that ran whenever cheap solar electricity was available.

Removing CO2 is important, and urgent in the medium term, but it isn't urgent in the "must happen this second" sense. Intermitten removal would be fine if the removal tech could be power intermittently.
> "and basically removed Customs tax"
> This is not how custom taxes work. The EU is one of the biggest free trade zone in the world. If Mercosul joins, it is the biggest.

Wait, isn't this is exactly how custom taxes work? Say the EU charges a 10% tax on all imported passenger cars (it does, and 25% on pickups and other trucks). Now, if Tesla sells cars to the EU that were made in the USA, wouldn't it trigger that import tax?

Now, say Tesla builds a factory inside the EU and makes cars there (as it plans to do). When sold in the EU, those cars wouldn't be charged an import tax because they're not being imported.

Right? What am I missing?
This reminds me of HPE greenlake [1].

I know population will decline, but not as a policy. If it happens naturally then it's perfectly ok. The fact that politicians get to decide how many kids or even if you can have kids is a scary thought.
You will win this bet since zero cars are produced there.
Governments don't "borrow and spend". Money is a political abstraction, not a tangible one. It is physically impossible for a government to run out of fiat money.

The only things a government can run out of are faith in the future and internal and external trust. When either or both of those disappear, human animals panic and the economy stops working.

Private enclosure of capital - which is equivalent to private enclosure of political and economic power - is far more likely to create that sort of breakdown than high taxes and generous public spending. (Effective - non-corrupt - public spending being equivalent to policy decisions that broaden and diffuse political power rather than concentrating it.)

Effective generous public spending is actually a political negative feedback mechanism that damps wild oscillations in confidence, seeds future investment, and enhances political stability.
>Your argument is poorly formed this was an extremely obvious case of reading the plain language of the law as already quoted.

It's not at all obvious. For example: it's "obvious" that the constitution applies to the United States. Before you pass through the border, you are in a place that is NOT the United States. It's definitely not obvious that the constitution applies to places outside the US.
I will say that Tel Aviv and Haifa both have excellent engineers. As Tesla grows I'd be a bit surprised if they didn't have engineers in Israel. That said, most of the engineering is still based out of Silicon Valley, so that might be why?

As a tesla fan and owner, I hope you get your superchargers. I've heard rumors that they've just started seriously producing the supercharger v3 hardware at the Buffalo, NY factory (Gigafactory 2), so maybe as that ramps up you'll be good.

Consider tweeting @elonmusk and asking. I did that for slow parts delivery and had the issue resolved in two days.
Then that's not great, based on the way I (and, from observation, many others) use search results. I often middle-click (or control+click) several links which look promising, loading them in new tabs in the background. When I have a decent number, I then go visit the sites themselves.

In addition, the best Google searches result in finding the answer directly in the preview of the page from the search results. Unfortunately there's not a clear signal to Google which site preview provided the answer in this case, or even if none of them did and I just gave up searching.

In reality, I'm sure Google's determination of which site was relevant is much more sophisticated, likely involving some machine learning.
Decoupling transportation from fuel source via electricity makes the problem a lot more tractable. It's a lot easier to regulate and change a few hundred generators then hundreds of millions of individual ICEs.

Modern coal-fired powerplants are substantially more efficient then car internal combustion engines.
Have you actually found a confirmed reliable meteorology backed statement on a continent-wide, windless week? Compared to e.g. the current likelihood of catastrophic failure of parts of the net, Aurora effects on powerlines, Ice, Fire..

you're floating a strawman which has never been floated as a serious risk analysis: there isn't a single US distribution network, it is not a single integral thing, parts fail all the time, and more to the point, you haven't even demonstrated one weather system can produce no wind and no solar output for a week.

Winter does not == the entire united states is black for 24h/day. The Rockies exist, and weather on the west coast is not like weather in the mid-west, or the east coast, all the time, for sustained week-long periods.
This explains the advantages very well imo

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literate_programming#Contrast_...
Solar panels? Even on the most heavily clouded days mine generate over 50% of nominal. And on that very rare windless, deeply overcast week, maybe we adapt and just don't run the tumble dryer or aircon for a week? Most house energy usage is pretty gratuitous and if you cut it back to lighting, refrigeration and entertainment you could get by on a few kWh a day.

If you absolutely must have 100% uptime then $1000 will get you a diesel generator which would keep the batteries topped off if you ever need it.

And if your argument is that someone living inside the arctic circle could find themselves becalmed for too long during the long night... then maybe back it up a notch and realise that 99% of humans don't live in those conditions and maybe the ones that do can still use some fuel oil.
This was a pure territorial war. I’ve seen the German campaign material, there was no sign of good reasons, at most a lot of misunderstanding of the idea of a startup incubator. I remember how I had to explain the idea to a very vocal campaigner who clearly did not get that Google was not planning to open a big dev center in their kiez after Google gave up. The underlying reason was the fear of rents rising in Kreuzberg.

They didn’t protest against the new Spandau Siemens campus either. Siemens being in the arms industry, while Googlers openly protested against any military-related research during the same year. It’s just that no nobody wants to live in Spandau.

The area around BER is even further away, and the close-by Adlershof is pretty much Berlins center for STEM research (many suppliers are there too). Could be a good move.
I think it's more devalued if you delete it.
Having kids is not a social norm (at least not in every case). Who are you or any politician to decide how many kids can a couple have? Even if it only is fear mongering, I bet you this will be a political discussion in some years.
As with virtually all govt authority figures whose 'authoritah' gets constrained by pesky constitutional 'noise', they will adopt the minimal appearance of compliance that their dept lawyers estimate they can get away with. I wish I was kidding.

It's definitely a good ruling to have on the books but it could very well just end up being a checkbox matter to have a pretense of "suspicion" (ie "this person appeared nervous").

Depending on the jurisdiction of this district court the DHS might even decide that it doesn't apply outside that jurisdiction until a higher court rules on it.
Good stuff.

I see Tesla & Berlin playing out well.

Bunch of tech nomads hide out in Berlin and I'm sure the city is keen to steal market share from more traditional German car powerhouse cities.
Is there any evidence that this ever happens? Or at least happens more frequently than say, a 1979 style fossile fuel shortage?
Education and birth control go a long way. Millions of people still don’t have access to either of those things. Some people don’t even realize you don’t have to have kids if you don’t want to. Some people are forced into it over and over again.

If it ever gets to a point where perhaps more coercive measures are needed, it’s probably too late. But it will be interesting to see how the Overton window moves when there’s suddenly no food left...
It has nothing to do with being a "Malthusian loony".

Which of these do you prefer:

- >10 billion people living on this planet, depleting resources so that inequality levels will rise while total (real) wealth will decline.

- A lot less people than now living on this planet in a way that we can actually permanently get close to the current western standard of living for ~all of them.
EU regulations prohibit the turning angle of the wheel unlike the U.S. You simply can’t navigate on autopilot in the same way.
Also the EU makes money from the auto companies in their jurisdiction and they don’t want a U.S auto company competing with them. Now that Tesla opens a factory in Germany “massages” things.

The customs tax is in regards to countries/jurisdictions other than the ones with the Tesla factories. For instance a country like Israel might have a 20% tariff from Europe but 0% from China due to different bilateral deals so Tesla will send cars from there.

Israel is different than Dubai because literally a third of the population are in the tech space. Israel’s main export is tech and the tech ecosystem will build on-top of Tesla (Waze for example was founded here and there are many auto security startups for instance).

The quality of a product is subjective, but I dont see any example in this article of big tech squeezing out a competitor with an inferior product.

Yelp (despite the glossy profile in buzzfeed news) has not really advanced the product in a long time. Their site was always extremely frustrating, forcing you into using the app. And they were super slow to add things like delivery.

In comparison Google Maps is a search engine for the physical world. They’ve done all sorts of complex things like using street view to correctly place a business on the map, adding duplex for making reservations. Even for reviews, I trust the reviews from the meal delivery apps a lot more as they are based on real orders. If I want a detailed review, sites like Eater and local blogs are more useful (and are ranked higher than yelp now). These are all areas Yelp could have invested in, instead they kept the product largely the same.

Likewise with Expedia, their website uses every dark pattern in the book, and they got completely blindsided by Booking.com with a superior agency business model (that also means it makes more sense to go straight to their website).

I used to use yelp for reviews, now i use google. Likewise I used to use google for products, now I use Amazon. Flights and hotels I’m mostly using google. In all cases it’s because the product is better.

> We should be focusing on climate change mitigation.

I've never heard a convincing case for this that accepted that warming will keep going and going unless we stop emitting.

Mitigation in that event will be something like "abandon all historical coastal cities and keep building new port infrastructure every couple decades".
Re: Coming up with something truly new is much, much harder than people give it credit for.

I have to disagree. The ancient Greeks played with idea of the Sun being the center of the solar system, along with inventing gear systems, and programmable mechanical robots (sometimes using wound thread). Ideas similar to natural selection preceded Darwin, but in some cases apparently kept quiet or wrapped in metaphor out of fear of religious backlash.

There is almost no invention that didn't have similar or simultaneous invention counterparts. It seems when the surrounding technology or precursors are in place, people put 2 + 2 together relatively quickly.

The only "one big leap" I can name right now is the piano. It did borrow from the harpsichord, but appears to be a single-minded attempt to make the volume of a note controllable, like a clavichord, but loud enough for performances. One needed a lot more parts than a harpsichord or clavichord had to do this well. Basically a wealthy person of royalty gave the inventor lots of time and resources to tinker.
People have the worst imagination.

Simply removing a tax break at child number 2 would have a substantial impact.

Good news: none of the Bill of Rights are limited to citizens, and most are indeed broadly worded so that citizenship status is not a threshold requirement for the right to apply.
Little children are also easily led and controlled by other people like their parents. And no doubt that is what Mr. Preacher-man also wants: Followers. Thank the Lord and pass the bucket. Become dependent on me telling you what is the truth, you believing that if you just believe what I tell you you are granted the ticket to heaven, if not you go to Hell.

Very conveniently it is very easy to make little children believe all that, and now you tell us we should be like them little children too.

We should blindly trust the preacher-man, like little children, that's what he is telling us.
We didn't need a court to tell us the obvious, but this is nice to hear.

I was going to pirate The Mandalorian because "Sorry, Disney+ is not available in your country", but I like your reason better. Justification upgraded.
People hate to admit it, but having a child is the most carbon-intensive thing you can do. Unfortunately, it’s a tragedy of the commons. Enough people act in their own self-interest to the detriment of everyone. This is uncharted territory for humanity, and I’m afraid we’re not yet up to the task of tackling it. I mean, in a world with scarce food, water, and arable land, yeah, bringing another resource-intensive human being into it starts to have more immediate consequences. I don’t care if it makes people uncomfortable. It’s going to be an issue whether we like it or not.
Solar and wind are scaling quickly. But do you know what is scaling even quicker?

Natural gas. The year-over-year growth in natural gas deployment is greater than the entire historic deployment of solar power. Let that sink in.

I'll be optimistic when the total fossil fuel footprint stops growing. Hell, I'll be optimistic when it stops growing exponentially. We aren't there. We aren't anywhere near there. We don't have the foggiest plan of how we will get there. Germany killed its coal power industry, and transitioned right into burning Russian natural gas.

And this is just in electrical generation. Electrical generation is only 20% of our overall energy usage. In order to transition the rest of our society to green energy, we'd have to triple our overall electricity production.

Solar and wind deployments aren't even able to keep up with increased demand in electricity growth. How you expect them to triple our overall electricity generation capacity anytime soon is beyond me.
Condoms are cheaper than bullets.
We once had a team member re-write their R code in Java, using weka just to avoid too much hassle for the back-end team. So I guess you're not alone!
This worldview implies abandoning all coastal cities and several entire countries, correct? Sea level rise alone requires that, to say nothing of other effects.

And then there's higher wet bulb temperatures in heat waves. With enough warming, that should render a large chunk of the planet effectively uninhabitable without AC.

Do you accept these consequences when you make such claims?
This community isn't prepared to even begin looking at any evidence that the main driver of climate change is the sun. That raises too many questions
Even if solar and storage do actually turn out to be cheaper in the long term, that isn't the same thing as destroying the full amount of money you put into a nuclear plant. The amount of money you're out is only the difference between the initial cost and the price you can sell electricity at in competition with solar and storage. You could plausibly get back less than you put in but still get back 90% of it.

And if that does happen, there is a good reason for it, which is that we're not actually sure that solar and storage will make it to that point, and there's a non-trivial chance that they don't. Or even if they do eventually, that they don't do so quickly.

If we get a significant carbon tax before the existing fossil fuel generating plants are decommissioned then the price of electricity is going to rise significantly until their capacity is replaced. That could take 20 years or more. In the meantime that nuclear plant is more than paying for itself -- it could pay off its full capital cost in that time at the higher generation price -- so that by the time solar and storage gets cheaper the nuclear plant only has to cover its operating cost and continues to be cost competitive for the remainder of its operating life.

It's basically a speculative investment against the chance that solar and storage don't get cheaper fast enough. You could lose some money, or you could win big if we get a carbon tax and the storage technology comes up short for a long period of time. Which also makes it a good hedge against investments in storage technologies.

Tesla fails to report OSHA violations, or even workplace injuries (such as Dillon's missing finger). As such, their statistics are fully bunk. We're blind to the issue, outside of scattered reports.

Tesla needs to fix their reporting problem before we can even have hope at measuring the incidence rate at their factory.

It's "too" general purpose.

They're aiming for the "80" part of the "80/20 rule", and in the process are really good at answering natural-language queries but very bad at keyword-ified queries. So many people use their service for answering otherwise basic questions that it's become a basic-question-answering system. I suspect also, under the hood, that when the user leaves the search page and never returns they consider that a successful serve and reinforce that sort of behavior more. Whereas I leave to search the same thing on other engines because Google became useless for my job, which requires specific answers to technical questions. So I think there might be some built-in positive-feedback loops that are reinforcing this sort of behavior. Either that or peoples' queries really are that boring, all the time.

There has been a correlation over the past ~10k years between solar activity and global temperatures. This non peer-reviewed book seems to spread the (false) message that this correlation still holds. However, it thereby neglects the role of CO2 as a primary mechanism of global temperature.

For the past ~10k years before the industrial revolution, CO2 levels have been almost constant at ~290 ppm. Therefore, the other drivers of climate change dominated. Now that CO2 is rising at unprecedented levels (see e.g. [1]), the other influencers of climatic change are no longer the driving forces. CO2 is the world's thermostat knob [2]. It is undeniable.

IANAL, but AFAIK attorneys can (and often do) cite a different court's ruling as support for their argument but if the cited court is not above the current court and in the same 'branch' of the tree, the current court isn't bound by it.

That's why supreme court rulings are such a big deal. They are the ultimate 'root' authority.
