A company with real time telemetry from all cars all the time ought to blow a traditional automaker out of the water with reliability.

They can do things like measure vibration of a particular circuit board across the fleet, compare that to the design specs, and be able to predict failure probability a long time ahead of real failures. In turn, they can then revise designs to avoid a failure mode that hasn't even occurred yet. A failure that would have affected millions of cars now only affects thousands.

Lots of things can be mitigated with firmware changes - for example, if you see a specific MOSFET getting hotter than expected during regen braking in cold climates, you can adjust the drive parameters to avoid shootthrough, preventing it failing 10 years down the line.

Couple that with tesla employing service personnel ought to mean they can get photos from a failed part direct to an engineer within a few hours to see if a redesign is warranted. You can't easily get that through third party repair shops.

Overall, Tesla seems to have so many advantages in the reliability/quality department, yet news articles don't seem to match. I wonder why?
Right, those other claim holders represent reductions in the value of the company.

If I borrow $300 billion (heh) and call myself a car company, that doesn't make me a more valuable company than Ford and Tesla combined - my net worth hasn't changed.

Market cap == (perceived) value.

Enterprise value is the COST TO PURCHASE the company, if I'm considering buying it.

Like buying a used car and assuming payments:

enterprise value (real cost) = purchase price + loan balance - coins under the seats

Market cap is the cash I have to pay up-front
Debt is the new debt I will have to pay when I own it.
Cash-on-hand is the cash I get back when I buy it

1) There is no assurance that freelancers will get paid.

My advice, please drop this idea and hop on to something else.
>who can compete with Tesla

Perhaps in theory. In reality, Ford & GM are slow to move, slow to adopt, and not seen as a "luxury" / "cool" car manufacturer. I am not a Tesla fanatic, but you must admit it seems they're gaining a bigger and bigger competitive advantage.

Then you still have to learn Ansible, so you're still learning a tool. And you probably want to use Docker anyways, unless you're shipping statically linked binaries.

Also, you said VM which implies that instead of Kubernetes you're going to use a VM platform, which comes with every bit of the complexity Kubernetes has.

I agree with you that it's a simpler deployment method when you don't need HA. As soon as you need HA, then all of a sudden you need to be able to fail over to new nodes and manage a load balancer and the backends for that load balancer. Kubernetes makes that easy. Kubernetes makes easy things harder than they should be, and hard things easier than they should be.

The number of things I've managed that don't need HA is vanishingly low.

Current valuations, Tesla and Apple among the most prominent, are so far disconnected from reality that it echoes the dot com bubble. But this time, the cause is not dot com mania -- but buybacks, driven by reckless financial policy.

As far as I understand, a "module" doesn't takes parameters, neither return a value, but instead subscribe and publish to some queues? That can be seen abstractly as a function (topics to subscribe to) => (messages written to topics). I think that they are named "modules" to make it clear that it isn't a conventional function, but instead a block of logic that consumes and effects some message passing data structure.

Just my understanding after reading the article ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hey everyone!

I've built an app that uses the browser and CSS styling to create videos (mp4/gif), meant for stuff like landing pages and social media. I've wanted to improve presentation and engagement in the projects and products I build, and more video seemed like one of the pieces to that puzzle.

As a solo developer, I thought it would be impossible to build a video app, so I leveraged everything I could to make it happen. The biggest tool I leveraged was the browser - letting it handle elements, layouts, styles, and animation so I could generate videos. Because I use the browser, any css/js I add to the frontend UI automatically work in the backend and renderer.

If you've got an open source/indie hacker project you'd like a video for, let me know and I'll try to help out!
Are boards actually this instrumented? Does each MOSFET have a temperature sensor onboard?
These are not equivalent issues - we have market forces pressuring Boeing to keep the cost down versus Boeing pressuring an airline to not train its pilots as it thought was warranted.

It is a simple fact that training is part of the total cost of ownership of an airplane, and so it is to be expected that it will be an issue in negotiating the price an airline is willing to pay for them, or whether to go with a different airplane.

In a responsible or well-regulated industry, responding to these sorts of issues (which are ubiquitous), through a reduction of safety standards, is supposed to be off the table. What Boeing was doing here was apparently part of a larger campaign to subvert this principle by hiding any hint of a safety concern.
You heard that in your engineering course.....
This! My first job was a large Django app. It was very intimidating for me at first and the stakes were very high.

After the first successful build everything seemed very natural onwards. Reading the docs and trying to understand he whole system flow were much easier after that. Also, the version control history can give you more insights on the features and the decision being made.
It is mainly that economic factors regarding employment insurance bundling are side effects of having employment-based insurance, not the cause.

It is very useful to look at other countries - we have lots of natural experiments in health care markets. If bundling were determinative of market structure, you'd see the same pattern elsewhere.
I think it's very reasonable. You can choose death before compromising your honesty, but you shouldn't force that decision upon others. Life and morals don't have absolute values.
My dad owns a Civic and a Lexus, this has never happened in the past 25 years of living in Canada (and temperatures keep rising over the years). It's happening due to the door design of Tesla where the glass does not have a frame around it. I made the purchase knowing these issues could arise - but let's not try to make it seem like these issues happen to all cars.
While everyone is right that a "no code" platform cannot replace all developers, if you take away the extreme framing, there is an interesting trend occurring. These days, business power users can accomplish a lot with tools like Excel (this one was always true), Google Forms, Salesforce, Airtable, Looker, and so on. People can define entities, custom fields, workflows, reports... things that used to be feature requests for developers.

Of course, many developers have had the experience of having to come in and deal with some insane Excel spreadsheets, but many of us have also been called into deal with crazy legacy systems built by professional developers. That itself is not an indictment.

As these tools grow, presenting new and lower cost ways of getting a certain class of activities done, I think we would be well served to figure out how to play nicely with these tools. (It's not like we want to spend our time building custom CRUD apps anyway.)

Not a dumb question. With your parenthetical, "from the heat", no. A crude measure of "potential electrical energy" is the difference in "temperature" (really, enthalpy) between the coldest water coming in contact with the spent fuel at the bottom and hottest water/steam leaving the top (natural convection), and while each rod's heat generation is significant enough to require water cooling so it doesn't melt, it isn't enough heat in enough time to generate enough steam to move a X00 MW turbine or two.

Do you have any ideas why Akka/JVM is so much worse than Elixir/BEAM? I thought that as long as you stick to Akka (i.e. don't use global mutable state but wrap everything in actors) it should pretty much work the same way... Maybe has something to do with On BEAM a "process" can be pre-empted? Though AFAIK JVM threads can as well...

1. No, the FUD that insurance companies are going to discriminate against you is not going to happen. (At least in the USA) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_Information_Nondiscrim...

2. Many of us, myself included, submitted data to them so they could hopefully make drugs. And I hope they can sell them at a profit.

Look back when I had family working with Eli Lilly we would take soil samples on vacation in various remote areas to send back to their research lab. This was pretty common as they were looking for new and unique antibiotics. You know what happens to a drug when no one can make a profit on it? No one makes it.

I hope that we come up with some novel an unique drugs that will help people around the world. I don't care for any form of payment or compensation, and I am happy my genetic code is one of many millions in the dataset.

Fit and finish is worse (e.g, fit noises, panel gaps, quality of materials) and sound insulation is much worse (i.e., traditional luxury brands are much better at highway speeds). You can't beat electric for drive train smoothness and performance, and the Tesla infotainment is on another level. Depending on how you balance these things you may prefer a Mercedes/BMW/Audi once they deliver an electric range worth considering.

I don't think your conclusion is inaccurate at all. Yes, enterprise value reflects total business value...but the EV of these companies is pretty similar given the discrepancies in actual profit.

Part of Telsa makes sense, they are staking out a corner of the market that isn't big now but will be in the future. But the price you are getting for this risk makes zero sense (there was a very non-zero chance of them going bust this year).

I actually knew one of the biggest active shareholders here, and the logic is really "hit and hope". Iirc, they have said publicly that they can see this going bust quite easily but they think the upside will pay off...well, I don't get it either. The upside is whatever Ford or GM is now...and they are worth more than that. As an investor, it isn't worth losing brain cells on this...easier ways to make money, way easier.
It can be argued that it is up to engineers, not scientists, to develop the practical uses of 'raw' science.
Nice anecdote. Yeah, I have realised that just like everywhere else, virtue signalling doesn't, won't work. There has to be SITG(skin in the game), incentive alignment among all parties involved : now achieve this either via good policy(which is needed for a lot of solutions eg:worked for solar,elec cars), or free market or both.

Also, many policies confuse waste,plastic waste with climate change. There's overlap, but for lower earth temperature, policies are going to make the biggest change, not individuals. And Now I am realizing I got carried away.

> Years of driving have resulted in mental circuits that automatically detect stop signs and manage lane-keeping with zero conscious attention, just as easy as walking

I thought the same thing when I had an S a few years back. This was just the adaptive cruise control + lane holding days, and I figured it'd be nice for sure but not game changing.

I was entirely wrong. Sure, driving without AP on wasn't hard, but turning AP on made road trips and commuting 1000x more pleasant for me. Driving without AP may be habitual and ingrained, but it still occupies a certain amount of mental capacity to hold the line.

Being freed from that wasn't just about getting more time to look at scenery, either. With fewer brain cycles spent on mechanically maneuvering the car, I could spend those cycles better monitoring other vehicles for potential hazards (crazy drivers, etc.)

"At 10 times revenues, to give you a 10-year payback, I have to pay you 100% of revenues for 10 straight years in dividends. That assumes I can get that by my shareholders. That assumes I have zero cost of goods sold, which is very hard for a computer company. That assumes zero expenses, which is really hard with 39,000 employees. That assumes I pay no taxes, which is very hard. And that assumes you pay no taxes on your dividends, which is kind of illegal. And that assumes with zero R&D for the next 10 years, I can maintain the current revenue run rate. Now, having done that, would any of you like to buy my stock at $64? Do you realize how ridiculous those basic assumptions are? You don’t need any transparency. You don’t need any footnotes. What were you thinking?"
