I imagine this could be neat way to troll Amazon's walk-out stores. I'm not entirely sure how those stores work, but I'm guessing they keep track of you with cameras to tie you to a credit card. Someone enters the store, registers their card, but then just disappears. Suddenly stuff is disappearing off the shelves, attributable to no customer. Would the system just let them walk in its confusion or sound an alarm?

The other thing is that people might just treat this period of WFH as a temporary distraction (caused by external forces out of your control), which justifies lower productivity and a bit more goofing around than usual. Kinda like various company internal events, fire drills, or those weird days when things just aren't normal and internet is dead / you have blackouts / office renovation / maintenance that takes a lot of stuff you need for work offline...

It's a different thing when you go into it with the attitude that 1) it is permanent 2) you're expected to be productive as any other full time employee on normal days, onsite or not 3) you'll be fired if you goof off too much.

I love this project!

What I would really love to see happen in 2020:

* Refocus and prioritize tasks according to available resources (people, time)

* Better communicate what is done and what need to be done (Roadmaps, using GitLab milestones for example) for people wanting to contribute.

Something I love about pandas is that often you can pass a URL in place of a file name.

The other day I needed to scrape data from a table on a webpage. Thinking about traversing the DOM and building up an array was already giving me a headache. Thankfully pandas has the “read_html” function. Getting a list of dataframes for each table on the page was as easy as:

dfs = pd.read_html(url)
Ironically, given that Android Java is a J++ copy cat regarding the damage to the Java portability story, trademark or not.

Worse, Google cleverarly takes advantage of their Android Java fork stagnation to sell Kotlin over Java, while being fully aware that modern Java makes many of those code examples pro Kotlin worthless.

Would it change anything? Uh...of course? If you build fewer fences it will result in fewer fences. I'm not really sure what confuses you.

Unless your point is whether not building as many fences now will save you from Chesterton's reasoning for any fences already built, then well of course not.

Changing the metaphor, I'm just saying that you should consider stretching to avoid future injury. Of course that doesn't save you from dealing with injuries that have resulted due to a lack of stretching in the past.
People know him, and people are interested in what people they know have to say. The fact that it's in an unrelated context adds novelty, which also attracts interest. I don't think it implies particular esteem.

Own a 3, so there is my bias.

I doubt the self driving feature drives many sales. It does look flashy and even in its current form it can be very good. Do I think they can deliver self driving cars? No, but I also don't think anyone else can. What they have delivered is a car that can relieve the stress of driving and counter being distracted while driving long distances

As far as being frustrated by the software I am more annoyed how long it has taken for quality of life features to get put in, namely my number one complaint is full blue tooth integration with smart phones. While they finally added the ability to navigate a playlist on screen you still cannot select the playlist you want; or any other selection outside the list like artist and album. I dislike their fixation on games and other features only useful while parked.

Everyone who has ridden in my car had two comments, first being about how clean the interior looked and second being how it felt when accelerating. Every once in a while I will let the car drive and I explain it as letting your highschool kid drive but you have immediate ability to take control. About the only negative comments I get are the door handles which some say are cool but take use getting to but the top one is always pricing.
Yes, but as the upper bound for the whole of Germany or for a part of Germany? That is what the issue is about. In terms of likeliness for this is accurate. The chances of the whole of Germany being the improper subset here is the issue.

My point is that they make it sound like a prediction.

Edit: My point is that this is science about epidemiology, it's not a prediction.
More and more in Brighton (i.e. London-on-sea).
The range issue isn't necessary irrational if you look at fuel logistics. Current gas stations just lack the infrastructure to support as many EV-vehicles.

A modern (non-Tesla) EV-Vehicle can be recharged to 80% within half an hour or so. That works without issues as long as very few people have electric vehicles. If everyone had one, we would get into problems with recharging. You can assume the infrastructure to scale with sold vehicles, but there are other requirements that suddenly become an issue. Many gas stations just don't have enough electrical power for example.

You cannot look at one trip and call it irrational since it isn't applicable for your commute or short trips. I think these issues will be solved, but there are still changes needed.

My solution for this kind of thing is to support a router that connects to the internet. Then on the internet side run a DHT so all the internet routers/gateways can find each other. Each router would keep track of the devices they have seen recently, and publish them to a DHT. Much how running a bittorrent client for a particular torrent publishes that fact to the DHT so anyone on the planet can find peers of that torrent.

So if Bob at a ski resort in Colorado want to message someone in Germany his message would propagate around the mesh until a gateway noticed it was for a client that hasn't ever been seen by that gateway. The gateway/router would do a DHT lookup, and would find a router in Germany had seen that user recently and forward the message there. Next time that router heard (directly or indirectly) that the recipient was online it would forward it (directly or through store and forward) to the user. Sure this process might take minutes, but generally it would still be useful.

Imagine an island like Haiti or Puerto Rico is hit by a storm and only one in 5000 people has a cell signal or sat uplink. Add a mesh and just a few uplinks for the whole island and important communications could get through. Maybe even putting a sat uplink on a car that could drive around and allow messages in/out even just once a day could be quite valuable. This of course needs to be combined with store/forward messages and the other various delay tolerant network features.

Seems much more useful than using HF radios to scan the planet for open Ham <-> email gateways. I was rather amused to hear that to communicate across Puerto Rico they often ended up sending messages through an email gateway they could reach in Italy... just to get messages across the island.
It is about marketing, but not about advertising (or bragging as you call it). Developing and producing electric cars is a lot more expensive, so whatever price bracket you're in, a Tesla is going to have 10-20k of its price go towards making the car move that the other manufacturers don't spend. That's 10k less spent on every other feature of the car. That's why you drop $80k on a Model S, that has the look and feel of a $60K nice car.

That cost is already sunk, Tesla can't recuperate that, and everytime electric cars become a little bit more common, the coolness factor of the electric engine decreases which means the value of that sunk cost goes down. There's two things that save Tesla, the first is plain consumer attitude. Some (many?) consumers will simply not buy an ICE car anymore if they can afford not to, which means the other manufacturers have to compete on Tesla's playing field.

The second is cheap innovations. Tesla can spend a couple tens of millions, and maybe $1000 in hardware, and get something that looks like an AI into their cars that adds maybe $10k of coolness value. Add fancy doors, a big LCD screen, flush doorhandles, and whatever other little thing you have to spend R&D on anyway because you're a new car manufacturer so everything costs more R&D for you than the establishment, and you close the gap.

It's about putting a $80K Tesla next to a $80K Jaguar or whatever, and being able to justify why they cost the same amount of money when the Jaguar is better made.

edit: Note this whole story is about the Model S, which was Tesla's bootstrap model. The goal of Tesla is to produce a car that doesn't compete with Jaguar, but with Volkswagen (or Ford).
It's not a new idea, but it's really a cool project, it just seems difficult to democratize.

Problem #1: if users need a custom antenna, it's already a barrier. /me dreams about the IEEE people designing standards that would enable smartphones to use mesh networking... I guess a tiny antenna that can be attached to a smartphone could also make it viable. If the antenna is not bigger than the phone, it would certainly be marketed.

In my view, mesh radio could possibly compete with traditional ISPs, for certain uses, so this kind of tech might not be funded for obvious reasons.

I've been extremely pessimistic since early January when I started following this obsessively - and I still think it's going to get far worse before it gets better.

But there is a silver lining here. This is probably the first time in history that a disease will have this much attention from so many researchers. There's a good chance someone will find a cure or prophylactic relatively soon, even if a vaccine is unlikely.

Also any potential drug will be put on rush evaluation so things should move quickly - there's Hope yet.
Honestly I didn't even consider the abstractions as a problem due to performance penalties in the vast majority of cases. I consider the abstractions a problem due to their cognitive penalty and the fact that you often need to put a square peg in a round hole (which requires a cognitive load both initially and in maintenance) due to incorrect abstractions. The fact that automatic optimizations (e.g. compilers) may get rid of these abstractions' performance costs doesn't mean their cognitive costs are removed.

I agree we shouldn't necessarily be writing in assembler, but we should be cautious of over-generalization. A math professor I had once said you should study problems in the right generality and no more. I think that software is the same. Abstractions have a cognitive cost and they are often not apparent until they are taken together. Keeping design simple and focused is a way to try to avoid those costs.
From the CFO’s perspective, the cost-savings is the first-order impact. Then unhappiness and possible attrition is a second-order impact.

Side story: Was at a place a long time ago where free soft drinks were made no longer available. First day of the new policy, email to all staff announcing the change. An hour later, one of the stronger engineers sends an email to all local staff announcing he’s thirsty and going to the supermarket to buy some soft drinks. Invites all engineers along in case anyone else is thirsty. Several respond (on thread) that they are also thirsty. About 90 minutes later, emailed status report of the successful 5-person mission to the supermarket is sent and proposing a rotating schedule of supermarket trips. The next day, email announcing the return of free soft drinks is read by all. :)
Yes, Tesla/Elon has overpromised a lot in marketing. They've also made misteps in finances and trying to invent too much automation for their factories. The cars also continue to have quality issues and are lacking in the (interior) design space.

That being said, the customer experience of owning and driving a Tesla far exceeds the traditional options. I fail to find anyone who is unhappy with their purchase. They love their cars and there are still hundreds of features that Tesla has where other manufacturers are barely catching up.

Add in the ecosystem of solar/powerwalls and superchargers along with supplying the wider energy market, and this company has a great future ahead.

I think I can empathize. That's why I wanted to stress the fact, that you do those things when you have a time window of feeling good. Always be on the lookout of how to save a little bit of progress for after things will have inevitably turned bad again.

If you have a little bit of money, you cannot use that to feel happy, but at least you can use it to make yourself not feel bad about a particular problem. Alternatively, if you do not have money to solve it, consider just throwing away the whole thing and be done with the root cause of that problem.

It's not simply changing behavior. We're also telling people to cut down on things that are making money. What's worse is that the people who got rich on fossil fuels are telling the newbies to stop using them.

There's plenty of incentive to just have people set up a solar sail. Plenty of people would rather live in an ice age than give up their factories.
How will you make sure your customers will be in compliance when operating the device? GoTenna used to have a nice photo gallery of people breaking the law, i.e. using their earlier MURS-band mesh devices abroad.
Putting chargers in gas stations may end up being the casualty. They would make more sense in diners, for example, so you can charge-and-coffee. And that distributes the load much more evenly.
What you're describing is no different than the thief mentality that exists today. Most people don't care to steal a carton of milk just because they can. And there's no denying the cost effectiveness of removing your checkout staff or else this tech wouldn't exist.

> stop risky behaviors now: don't go shopping, have it delivered.

As someone living in Milano, I'm afraid that if the panic in the government (as opposed to the population) keeps on going on, this won't be possible when they shut down almost everything (given that the rules change every 24h and no one knows how to properly follow them, let alone evaluate the effect of them).
Similar thoughts on the Model S. And I find the Model S facelift much worse than the original design due to the "look, it's not a grill design", where they don't have a grill, but they have an awkwardly shaped flat spot anyways. Porsche Panamera is a much better example of a grilleless design.

As for the upcoming Roadster, that looks smashing. Too bad it's massively expensive.
> Making IT people richer doesn't make any poor people poorer.

Increasing inequality absolutely makes worse off people even worse off. Not just comparatively, but yes, even in "real dollar" terms: Raising IT people's (or whatever other privileged group's) incomes means they can and will spend more on housing, raising prices for everyone, meaning that poorer people will have to spend more on housing, meaning that they will have fewer dollars in pocket, even though their income hasn't changed.

> do it for minimal wage

... which nobody has suggested, of course.

> ask to be compensated according to your merits instead

Sure. How do you measure merits? Did CEOs' merits increase by 90 times since 1978? https://www.epi.org/publication/ceo-pay-has-grown-90-times-f...

"I'm in a position where I can negotiate a substantial pay rise" does not mean "I was previously not paid according to my merits". If the market changes and you are suddenly "worth more", that doesn't mean that your "merits" have suddenly improved.
Agree the aim must be to flatten the curve. As for treatments showing promise, please provide source.
Absolutely agree. Looking at Italy as a case study we need to limit the spread of this virus only for the reason of reducing stress on the medical industry at any given single moment while accepting everyone is likely to encounter this thing eventually. Aside from slowing the rate of transmission the guidance, from the medical experts, says to treat this no differently than the flu.

The reality is that this virus will be everywhere because it is at least as transmissible as the flu but with more benign symptoms and a longer incubation period. The incubation period for the flu is generally 5-7 days but the early data from China was suggesting an incubation period of 10-14 days for corvid19. Both of those numbers are variable upon a given snapshot and environmental factors.

On the other hand the earlier people encounter this thing though means the earlier a population can build the necessary mass immunity resistance.
