Mobile repair sounds pretty awesome. I don't own a car, but when I did I always felt like dealing with service was a huge waste of my time. I would avoid getting it serviced simply because I didn't care about it. To me at least, a car is just a way to go from A to B when there's no better way.
That conversation was your cue to get a new job, because your colleague earnestly believed that 90% of your coworkers were incompetent, and told you so point blank.

I bought a Model 3 a year ago (Dec '18). I liked it so much that, when my wife's Audi lease expired in July, she also got a Model 3 (at least they're different colors...)

The only issue either of us has had is one of the license plate screws stripped the rubber bushing and I had to get a replacement bushing.

Would definitely buy another car from them. In fact, the thing I hate most about the business travel I have to do is renting non-Tesla cars and having to drive something that feels so antiquated.
I would never consider purchasing a competing luxury car (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, etc) but I bought a Tesla. Tesla has a far lower TCO due to the greatly reduced maintenance. Electric is way more fun to drive than ICE. I feel like the quality is great but again this is coming from someone who has never owned a luxury car, and only ever owned/driven Hondas, Toyotas, and Subarus.

Not really, no. Try fitting a bit with a 1/2” shank into your typical consumer battery-powered drill.
Yes, although a key difference seems to be that steps in the pipeline are allowed to interfere with arbitrary other steps.
that's because experiment drives physics rather than mathematical consistency (no matter how much people pretend it's about "beauty"). plenty of mathematically consistent physical theories have been falsified by experiment and plenty of mathematically inconsistent physical theories have made precise and accurate predictions.

The short interest is roughly the same it has been[0]. This has astonished many of us longs and people that specialize in short selling[1].

The fact that the price has risen substantially with little short covering means new long buyers have driven the stock price higher and shorts have held firm.

I know it’s not as bad as cars, but cyclists also contribute to creating asphalt ribbons of death... nice dirt path walking routes get paved over so cyclists can whizz along them at top speed. And unlike cars they’re completely silent and share your space, so woe betide you if you want to walk your dog along the river without constantly being nearly knocked into the water with no warning.

If I had to pick between walking on a road at night vs a cycle path I’d pick the road for safety every time, at least you can hear and see cars coming.
It's not that shocking except in hindsight. The speed trim system is, from what I can tell, incredibly similar to MCAS at least on paper. They both adjust the stabilizer trim in order to ensure the legally-required amount of force is needed to move the stick in certain scenarios, both activate 5 seconds after the last manual trim input when flaps are up and autopilot is off, and both rely on non-redundant sensors. The only difference is the exact combination of sensors used and the exact obscure scenario they're designed to protect against.
If that's your primary takeaway from my comment you may need to read it again.
I'm not a low level programmer, but can you elaborate on this a bit?

E.g. why would reading a shared mutable value be wrong, in some specific circumstances? In particular, if the value is a word (and the architecture guarantees atomic writes for word-sized values), and if the reader doesn't care if it reads the previous or the new value (e.g. executes a read of a monotonic counter in a loop, so even if I read the current value this time, I'll read the new value next time or after some number of next times), and if the language is sensible (i.e. Java, not C++... although AFAIK even C++ frowns upon "values out of thin air" and they're trying to modify the standard to formally prohibit them... but in general the issue with C++ is the compiler, not the platform if we assume x86).
I am very happy working with Kubernetes in a very small team, I really like the abstraction of the different entities and the declarative ways to configure them.

I think that the learning curve is not that steep if you already had to do the same than with Kubernetes with other alternatives, in my on experience I have been discovering a lot of features that are very helpful not just during production but also during the development environments that were a real pain before.

I am have a lab/cluster/blog running on Kubernetes, I am in charge of this one alone, it is opensource [1], I version everything that goes to the cluster so you can see the evolution of the kubernetes entities, the config, the containers and the code. I started this from scratch and improving it feature to feature, I think that this might be a big factor with my positive experience with Kubernetes.

I wonder if an issue with adopting kubernetes is to try to migrate a big system into kubernetes in a very limited time lapse and trying to push/force features as they were working/handled in the previous approach?

> That a rather assertive statement. I dare say most distributions are (due to CLT) Gaussian.

I have been doing stats/ML/data-science for more than a decade. The above has rarely been true ever in the datasets that I have looked at. Unless of course the raw data has been transformed in ways to make them look Gaussian. Gaussian is the exception, not the rule.
Do you still use a floppy drive? Was removing that “anti-competitive” or just seeing around corners. Wired anything is going away completely; just a matter of time. It isn’t some conspiracy to prevent you from using your old Walkman headphones.
Clojure has `recur` that does what you want.

I'm not sure why it matters what the JVM supports. x86_64 doesn't do tail recursion either; it's the compiler's job to translate. Let's separate the `recur` vs the function name itself for a minute: if Clojure automatically took a function body with a tail-position recursion using the name of the function itself and translated it to a loop, would you agree that's tail recursion optimization?
I personally would buy one if I could. But if I'm not allowed to get parts for it and work on it then its not a viable vehicle to me. I can't be beholden on whatever schedule the service department has or how fast they can get parts. Which sounds like not very fast.

What do you like about the Vine ID alphabet? I don't see the appeal, it cuts out some characters yet still includes potentially confusing ones (I/l/1 and O/0, which can look identical or nearly identical in some fonts). If not human readability, why did they cut out standard characters thus making IDs longer than necessary? I suspect there is a perfectly reasonable explanation, but I'm missing it.

https://academictorrents.com/about.php#mirroring

Using RSS to allow mirrors to host different subjects is really clever, although some of the categories seem quite large (>5TB). It may be worth breaking up each category (sharding) to keep each to 100GB or less so a volunteer can pick a couple and not worry about running out of disk when a category grows.

Then it would be good to track how many seeds each category-shard has so volunteers can help where it's most needed.
But then again, what's the retention rate in analyst classes? Probably half of the classes quit after their analyst stint, either for greener pastures, business school, or complete career changes. Some stay for their associate roles, or come back for associate or VP after business school - if they even bother with investment banks.

Adjusting bonuses like that seems like a cruel way of enforcing "up or out". If for whatever reason you don't like some subordinate, or think they're cut out for future promotions, just hand out mediocre bonuses until they jump ship.

I think that in banking (and many other businesses), it's entire possible to be a good / well-performing junior banker, but not necessarily have the skills of succeeding in more senior roles, where your job is very different. (e.g mostly dealing with clients)
You don’t need a coding bootcamp
I've been a big Tesla fan for a while now.

Certainly a big part of me is happy, perhaps even a bit smug, to see the share price so high.

Even though I'm pretty sure electric vehicles are the future, and that Tesla has, at a minimum, brought that future closer to the now, I still think its share price is borderline insane, and, in the end, doesn't serve the company or the vision as well as a more moderate, stable price.

I also acknowledge that its CEO has not only not taken reasonable steps to 'calm things down', but has done the opposite.

Having said all that, I could be wrong, and perhaps Tesla's sales are substantially driven by all of this crazy energy, positive and negative.
Or ill effects to cooling the inside of the earth? I like the idea of geothermal, but nothing is free.
Yes, but you have to be explicit that it's a recur by using the recur special form. (I'm not convinced that matters, but some people get hung up on it.)
The correction will be precipitous. There is no reason to believe that even at the 1M vehicle level, they can be so profitable, when engaged with direct competition with other experienced producers, to justify such a market capitalization. The same cost issues will affect all companies, and I believe some Tesla technical advantages will erode.
Thinking about dark energy and the renewed controversy about it, e.g. https://www.space.com/dark-energy-not-debunked.html.

We have grave inconsistencies in cosmology, yet very bold conclusions are made, assuming that our theoretical understanding of gravity and general relativity is 100% correct at all scales.

The claim about accelerated expansion, only 30 years old, is an example of the enormous arrogance of modern science, knowing that such theories have been developed and debunked every few decennia in the past 100-200 years.

The historical perspective seems to fail completely, and todays physicists seem to be so confident even though their colleagues of only a few generations ago have been proven wrong many times. Why would anything be different now, because we throw so much money at it, because we have wonderful computers, have we become so much more intelligent as a species?
FBIDs are complicated because the number space includes legacy IDs, but the modern space have a 24-bit shard ID prefix and a 38-bit autoincrement identifier. Two of the bits are “thrown away.” Timestamps aren’t involved.

EDIT: ugh. Still early for us slackers on the West coast to do basic math.

Considering the distance, is there any likelihood exposing this material (or the radioactivity) again outside of ... just drilling 3+ km deep to it?

This seems like a pretty solid option considering the costs / possible downsides of trying to "construct" something with similar levels of protection.
Imagine if you were annoyed at the UI in your current car.

Don’t have to, the UI in the Leaf (at least in the first gen), sucks. But you know what would annoy me more? If my $50K+ car leaked water. That’s something the industry figured out over fifty years ago. I’ll take a shitty UI over over water invading spaces I won’t find out about until the rust and bad wiring show up.
Short interest was highest at the bottom, and is much lower now (just generally, changes are going to correlate with price)...~45m in July, and is now ~25m (which is where it was at the start of the year).

So 20m shares have been called in...daily volume is about ~9-10m so no short squeeze (afaik, TSLA is pretty easy to short because it is owned by so many retail investors...total shares outstanding is ~175m so turning over ~10m/day is a lot of volume).
I'll weigh in on the curmudgeon side. The knobs in my car were perfect from the day I bought it because they were optimized by engineers over decades. If there was ever a UI issue, it was corrected before I was born. Because the controls are physical I can operate them by touch and habit while focusing on the road. 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.

No-haggle direct manufacturer purchases are good, though. I can only agree with that.

Agree / disagree. I’ve been using k8s in large deployments (1000s of nodes) for about 3 years.

It’s easy to get started with using GKE, EKS, etc. it’s difficult to maintain if you’re bootstrapping your own cluster. 3 years in, and despite working with k8s at a pretty low level, I still learn more about functionality and function every single day.

I do agree it’s great tooling wise. I personally deploy on docker for desktop k8s day one when starting a new project. I understand all the tooling, it’s easier than writing a script and figuring out where to store my secrets every damn time.

The big caveat is - kubernetes should be _my_ burden as someone in the Ops/SRE team, but I feel like you frequently see it bleed out into application developer land.

I think that the CloudRuns and Fartgates* of the world are better suited to the average developer and I think it’s Ops responsibility to make k8s as transparent as possible within the organization.

Application developers want a Heroku.

It verifies the license against a local cache. The remote licensing check only occurs upon activating a license. Once activated, there is a local cached copy it uses that I happen to know about because I accidentally deleted it once. I start up Alteryx in an air-gapped environment on a routine basis. I wouldn't use the tool if it had to check a license server every time it started.

You're incorrect on your last statement. I'm a coder, and don't enjoy using Alteryx for more iterative/recursive operations, but I've built several macros that leverage loops and DO run the same set of commands until a condition is met. There are examples of this online.

Typically, when I run into more loop oriented operations, I use the python or R tool to write a snippet of code to perform the operation within the workflow.

This flexibility in time, specialization, and order of operation is surely one of the joys of modern digital collections.

Library scientists might say archiving and structuring and curation are all facets of that science. And you'll also want a hash search engine that finds related hashes, as there can be many revisions + versions, only some of which have some metadata.
What a waste of good waste.
Google Play Services is a framework which other apps use. That battery usage is just imprecisely categorized usage of the other apps you have installed. Some of those apps might be Google's, but anything that wakes your phone or uses GPS will end up contributing a bit to that percentage.
Would drilling holes deep enough theoretically allow us to harvest thermal energy on a meaningful scale?
> who can compete with Tesla

From my seat, that really remains to be seen. The existing companies don't seem to have found a way to compete with Tesla's EVs yet. They may get there eventually, but Tesla has it now.

Regarding valuation, one point I read elsewhere is that Tesla does a lot more in-house, which adds to the valuation, whereas the existing companies will buy a lot of their parts and/or contract out work. I don't have a source on the specifics, but if true, the logic certainly seems reasonable and would explain things. The value of a company shouldn't be based on their final product, but on the value they added to the parts/components they took in to create that product.
I started in about halfway through to get to the punchline faster. The ending didn't make any sense.

What is more likely to set Assange free is the US State Departments refusal to extradite Anne Sacoolas back to the UK to face justice for the death of Harry Dunne. If the US don't want to send her back then the UK has every right to decide the rather one-sided extradition agreement in place isn't working for them anymore and they can release Assange and send him back home to Australia.

How ironic if the utopian, factory-city for Toyota is one free of cars.
Keeping a notepad and taking time to write down impressions after a reading session (or after finishing a section/chapter/book) has been helpful in retaining key takeaways from texts. It's also surprisingly enjoyable to write about what impact non-fiction had on you as well so I definitely think this works for all sorts of reading. And of course if something strikes me in the middle of reading, I've got a notebook to in as well.

Besides that, and somewhat related to your question, starting/joining a book club was one of the more enjoyable things I did in my reading life. Get a group of people together and spend some time talking about what you're reading! In my case, we weren't even reading the same books, it was just another place to talk through things that really hit home while we were reading.

edit: and of course I come across an article about a silent book club here on HN right after writing this. Book clubs are for everyone but I think the format here can help broaden the audience https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22023996

“Own Your Weird” by Jason Zook – Book Review
Am I the only one that thinks regulation like this is ultra heavy handed?

You get the charger in the box, it works. They change once a decade because technology advances, we live on.

I do see it helping to standardize the smaller players that have a haphazard ecosystem but consumers and corporations can largely vote with their wallets without living in a nanny state.
“Twisted” is an awful word to use when discussing justice being applied equally. If justice is not applied equally, it isn’t justice.

As I said right off the bat, I do not think it should suck for anyone, so if the argument is, “let’s fix the justice system by not making it suck,” you know you have a ready and willing ear.
If you want to continue thinking along these lines, then look at how humans do it. For example, when writing a word document, the person has a continuous stream of ideas of how to write about a subject. But do they continually append only to the document? No, they delete, rewrite, restructure etc. It's just english is more flexible than our programming languages (and thus more ambiguous), so these operations are easier to do.

I would think if continually layering over the top of existing ideas was somehow better, then evolution would have gone that route instead.
Google is half the bloatware on my samsung. Can't uninstall, and only disbled by a hack. Start by being the change you want to see.
My main point is that the market cap seems a bit excessive. I can see Tesla having a competitive advantage, and I also see the bet some investors are making on it disrupting the car industry. But after reading those numbers, it just shocked me a little.
I read a different analysis [0] arguing that comparing the market cap of Tesla to that of Ford and GM isn't really comparing apples to apples, since the latter have enormous pension fund liabilities.
