The car was sold with that option to the original owner. It was then sold back to Tesla at some point, and they (in theory) removed that option, though it seems like they failed to perform the update on the car to make that go through.

The Monroney sticker shows that the car had that option when new. It doesn't apply to resale, ever - there is no Monroney sticker for used cars. Nothing says it has to have that option forever - Tesla can remove it if they want, when they own the car, just like they could take out the back seats, or the radio, or put in a bigger battery, or lock it into permanent valet mode.

I am a little concerned that they issued the update after the car left their possession, so it really hinges on what they told the buyer. If they incorrectly represented to the buyer that the car had that option, through some part of the sales contract, then they definitely need to honor that. But nobody has provided any evidence of that. If they were simply silent on the issue, then it's more gray. The analogy I've given elsewhere is if a car was equipped with a lifetime Sirius satellite subscription that is supposed to expire on transfer, and then Sirius cancels it after the sale, then that seems fair.
I'm using his mortality rate of 1%. That's 20x the mortality rate of influenza in the US. If it's 2% like the media reports then it's 40x. It doesn't really matter to me, either way is too deadly for my liking.

Perhaps to their target market ... I looked at it and thought 'hmmm, 44 seconds to do a simple image transform sounds pretty slow ....'. I assume it was a very high resolution image or thousands of slices or something but without them stating those metrics it was a bit meaningless to me.

edit: OK I downloaded the image and see it's gigantic ... I reckon they should at least hint at that for the folks who are not quite over the threshold of spending the time to do their experiment ...
woah, interesting
The headline makes me think of "Snow Crash", where the franchise-ization of... well, just about everything in America was pervasive and tragicomic.
I enjoyed using OneNote and Microsoft Teams on projects which had some remote workers and satellite offices.

I think the biggest thing is that everyone has to buy into the communication modes which work for remote work. If 80-90% of the team is using informal communication methods like "walk over to that guy's desk", or "The PM just told me that we might be rearranging the sprint to accomodate problem Y that isn't officially recognized yet so the schedule hasn't actually changed, but it will" then the remote workers will be half as effective as the office workers.

A very strong, very organized, ultra-communicative PM helps a lot with this. It's important to make the online chat rooms (Slack/Teams/etc) the primary hang-out and communicate room. It's important to make Jira/VSTS/Google Docs the primary task list reference that everyone checks mulitiple times per day and uses these tools to communicate with the person they sit next to in the cubicles. It's important that when an officemate asks "How do I do X?" his cubicle mates tell him: "Oh its the X tab in the OneNote document, ill send you a link on Slack" and then posts that to the main channel where other people can learn too.

If the in-office workers are doing this, then everyone is already working remotely, just from the office instead of from home. And remote workers will be 100% as effective as the in-office workers.

I go one step further and disable CSS by default too. More often than not, disabling CSS improves webpages.
Real estate is a very inefficient market. I say that because the transaction costs are high compared to the value of the transaction.

Medical in general is very inefficient, for several reasons. Many of us don't get to choose our insurance company - our employer chooses them, and we don't have any option. (I'd like to see companies offer at least two competing insurance plans from different companies.) Second, we talk to doctors on the basis of "do I need it", not on the basis of "what's the cost, what's the benefit". Third, the doctors' office has people whose job is to try to get insurance companies to pay, and the insurance companies have people whose job is to try to find reasons not to pay. That's rather inefficient. There's probably some other big inefficiencies there, too.
> No one thinks in spoken language.

I generally do. I see the words as I think them. Spelling and sound. It’s weird I guess, though I never thought of it being weird until now.
it could be, because although rebranded clevos make a significant chunk of the market, they often also have some minor design modifications as ordered by the brands,
I'm a bit on the spectrum and I absolutely love having my performance distilled down to a set of metrics. It clearly communicates to me which types of actions are valued in a way that I will often miss from normal social interactions due to my blindness to social queues.

The way I perceive work is very helpful in this regard. To me, the purpose of work is to maximize my income/lifestyle while not dipping below a lower bound threshold of misery. I don't seek personal or emotional fulfillment from work at all. I did that when I was younger and, for me, it was a bad way to approach life. This way I'm much happier and my focus/attention is more on the kinds of things I hope will wind up in my obit: family, relationships, charity, etc.

I wonder if sales people ever write articles about how they're at the "mercy" of their sales metrics. The idea of it seems hilarious.
> Currently light aviation is kinda stalled because of high costs, safety issues, and noise.

That's so vague as to be useless.

Part 91 (GA) will always be less safe than Part 121 (scheduled airliners.)

Propellers will always be noisy, since theirs tips approach the speed of sound, whether driven by ICE or electric.

And cost depends on the mission and certification.

It's "kinda stalled" because transportation is a regulated industry and money-making certificated airplanes are expensive. So you might as well say "always stalled."

The only practical use cases for the foreseeable future for electric planes are small trainers and consumer-level drones.

Flight schools would welcome an electric trainer under $200k, compared to the Cessna 172 currently at $400+k.

FYI: most of the small electric plane prototypes you've read about have been destroyed due to electrical fires. I can think of 2 or 3 in the past year.

And the recent wire chafing found in 737 and Embraer airliners makes you wonder if tons of batteries is a good idea or not.

One of the founders listed elsewhere on that page was a mentor on an accelerator I took part in. We went over our business in depth, he eventually became a supplier to us, then we became his largest customer. One day he abruptly stopped providing the service, and then relaunched his business trying to copy us instead.

We out executed, but I'd advise caution with mentors. Some were great help, this one was malicious.

Every other developed nation has much more government control over its health care system, and much lower costs.

Also, you say "We have a legally entrenched doctors guild with a government granted monopoly on their profession" So are you saying that we would all be better off if anyone who wanted could call themselves a medical doctor? And if that is not what you advocate, then what is your specific plan?

I try to give interview feedback on every interview I go on, where I am the person being interviewed. Obviously, companies who provide me with actionable or useful feedback get actionable and useful feedback from me in return:

Interviewer: you have great interpersonal communication but I think you need a bit more knowledge in python techniques XYZ. I like being up front and transparent, and the python stuff is a big deal to us, so although you had a great set of traits, we want someone stronger in python.

Me: Thank you for giving me a clear indication on what was important, where I was strong, and most importantly, for not giving me a “we’ll call you if we want to move forward” response. I highly respect you for not wasting my time unnecessarily.

Gaming: getting a lot better on Linux, at an increasing rate. Steam has put a lot of work into making games available cross platform and for me, everything has "just worked" for the last two years or so.

Support: I've never had Windows support be successful. The helpers, wizzards, and online support has misdiagnosed or been unable to fix every issue I've had. For Linux, there are massive, friendly, knowledgeable communities, thorough documentation, and if all else fails, Stack Overflow.

Technical debt: I can't think of a Windows application I needed that hasn't had a similar FOSS application (if that was what you meant)

User interfaces: other than the Windows Start Menu, vanilla Ubuntu seems pretty familiar and intuitive coming from Windows, from what I remember when I switched.

Of course this is mostly subjective! But I think that Linux had so many years of clunkiness that it has a technical stigma to the average windows user. I've had friends and relatives switch recently after getting fed up by "Windows is now updating your PC at a very inconvenient time, for 3 hours", and overall have been happy with the switch.
True, but we had our own version of unsafe for a much longer time. MS was just pragmatic enough to allow it across the ecosystem.

The main problem I see is the change in ideology that the rich have been able to implement. After WWII, government was supposed to promote the growth of the whole country. But in recent decades the elite convinced everyone that looking for the rich is all that matters. Being against this is now considered to be a "radical" or "communist". The rich have dismantled much of the democratic systems build since the French Revolution.

Actually, what I've found on Airbnb is that everyone just rates everyone high to either avoid rating retaliation or to avoiding seeming like a dick / hard customer. I suspect it's the latter -- there really is no upside to being an honest critic.

You'll rent a place that ends up being on the noisy highway and the worst rating you'll find is "great for early risers!"

The rating system does not work. Airbnb doesn't care about rating inflation because it just makes everything look like 5-star experience.

Uber is frustrating for other reasons. I've never made an Uber driver wait for me, I'll greet the driver, and I can't imagine how someone can be a better customer. I have a 4.1 rating and can't get VIP because of my rating. My girlfriend doesn't even believe in getting up to leave the house until the app tells her the Uber is there. She constantly calls uber for large loud drunk groups, redirects her rides, and yammers on her phone the whole ride. She has a 4.8+.

Aside, my girlfriend also rates all Uber drivers 3/5 because that's an average rating. They get a 4/5 if they go above and beyond. I actually though 5-star systems had merits until I met her. Now I'm firmly against them.

Can you point to the auction paperwork to confirm that Tesla's sales contract with the auction buyer said the car had FSD? It seems to be a critical missing link in the story.

To go along with your narrative, it's not hard to imagine that a car sold used might not have the original upgrade wheels, or might have had the tow package removed.
You seem to know a bit about this: would you have a similar comparison on the capital cost issues, e.g., cost per cubic meter for the at-scale version vs. this local small scale? I mean, that's probably unimportant even if there's a big difference given that remote locations simply wouldn't be practical to have a large plant. But if the costs are even only twice as much per cubic meter, the rapidity of rollout for the small-scale solution could provide rapid relief, especially in some of the areas of the world with acute shortages that need rapid remediation even if it's only a short term solution. (like Cape Town recently)
Isn’t Caixin Global a Chinese news source, almost certainly filtered? Do you have a reason to believe them more than the dark corners?

It merits a fine that is 10-100x as high.

They could've given users the choice to enable that "protection" from the beginning or leave it off at the end, but instead they chose to implement something that looks suspiciously like it was designed to make people replace their devices way prematurely. We call that planned obsolescence and I believe in France it is illegal.
There could be a problem with a roof getting covered with snow. Sometimes Alpine pitched roofs have raised strips to stop snow all sliding off at once, you would lose that if it had PV panels on it.
I think it's also worth noting that requiring an ordering is preventing a performance optimization

This doesn't impact most high level python code, and an OrderedDict is a very reasonable default. But there's a reason why Google's c++ map intentionally randomizes iteration order

(Hint: it allows the hash map and hash function to be extremely high performance while allowing themselves the flexibility to change the hash function)
Can vouch for this I had a very similar issue where they refused to share with me the original manufacturer of the laptop.

yeah, in the early days, before mid of January, health care workers did not know what it was so a significant number got infected. And in the early days the local hospitals were overwhelmed with patients and the supplies were running short, some got infected. Now there are a lot of medical staff coming from other regions, and staff is pretty well protected. Hopefully we do not hear anymore medical staff infected.
Or, maybe, document/file search is a pretty useful and commonly expected feature for a desktop operating system? And extending it to online search is an entirely natural next step?

Even if this were a plot against Google, it would simply be bog-standard competition. It has absolutely none of the characteristics of "Embrace, Extend, Extinguish".

And then you said tutor kids. Do you find your previous statement to be true? Are most of the kids quite bad a learning and do most of the kids lack executive decision making skills?

Or did I mis-understand? I was expecting that after you said "most people are ..." and that you tutor kids that you find the kids match your statement about "most people"
Sounds like you're not in the greatest work environment if so many managers have quit. Curious why you think that is? Also, if you have such strong feelings about management, maybe try it out? Based on what you're saying, managers are dropping like flies and it might be helpful to promote from within.

There's a pretty large difference between running and climbing - a sport that has been literally shaped and defined by the gear used in it. Climbing is closer to Tennis than it is to Running, in that for most variations, the gear enables the sport to be possible.
Shot that link over to a coworker who was considering building a 3990x. While many parts could be picked up at MicroCenter, very happy to let someone else guarantee a build with a 4.8K cpu/mainboard combo. The early days of getting large memory sets to work with a board were tricky and I wont do that for someone else.

Really wish my TR4 boxes... had a future beyond the current 2xxx series cpu. Figured I would swap out the current 1950x and re-use the same water block, pump, etc on the newer CPU. Hardly worth it for the 2950x, which is more or less the end of the road for the threadripper boards I have.
